For 'J A some of us it will mean college and perhaps honors in the field of athletics, but for others it will mean entering into the whirl of the work-a-day world of shops, factories, offices, etc. Some of us may never meet again. But we are prepared for all this. It will be hard at first to do without the aid of our excellent teachers and without Mr. Fuller's sage advice, but we shall succeed. Although we have enjoyed our four years at dear old Beaumont, we have also en- tered into the spirit of the school and helped do our part. During this term a delightful social sea- son is in store for us, with parties and games and all the doodads that go with theml The ofiicers whom we elected are found capable and are working hard to make our term a success. Wilber Leber is the chief executive, and his first assistant is Elizabeth Houston. Marion Oberman is the secretary and Paul Dougherty has charge of our finances. George Parnell is our representative to the Student Council and Venus Frederiksen is the official scrib- bler. The executive committee is composed of Lillian McDaniels, Walter Bergmann, and Estelle Milner. Preparations are now in progress for Color Day, which occasion is to be made brilliant with our chosen colors, jade-green and peach, a combination symbolic of youth and spring-time. Our motto, No Quest-No Conquest, expresses the con- fidence and daring in our hearts. Mr. Hall and Miss Quellmalz, our spon- sors, are bricks The way they work, not only with our class, but with every senior and new senior class of Beaumont, is astonishing. Yet you'll always find them light-hearted and smiling. Our class is just bubbling over with life. And why not, since it has the dis- tinction of being the largest class Cthere are about two hundred and twenty of usj ever to be graduated from Beaumont? As newcomers to this great institution of yearning three years ago, we wandered through the halls with reverence written on our faces. At first we almost lost our- selves amid the intricate mazes of its cor- ridors and doors, but now that we know our school, every nook and corner has be- come dear to us. You who are at present fortunate enough to be Hrst-termers, will probably say this is merely sentiment: but when you become seniors, you will realize, too, that you are parting with a real Alma Mater. Altogether now, fifteen for the class of June '29! KNOWLEDGE, WHERE ART TI-IOU? By HELEN LEIBSON Now isn't it funny that things can be such? When I entered the high-school, oh, I knew so much! But now 1'm a senior and ready to go, And-would you believe it?-not one thing I know. Thirty -se uen f , A . ,ii ' BEAUMONT SENIORS ENTER THE MOVIES By MARVIN SCHNELLER cameras were focused'on the gig opening scene, and the signal to begin was given. The school band ' led the procession, followed by the very dignified seniors. You may ask what this is all about. The answer is that this was the day when the Beaumont seniors entered the movies. The reason for this is that Beaumont and Roosevelt were selected to represent the St. Louis High Schools by the agents of the Kelly Films, which com- pany, in conjunction with Loew's State, Inc., is sending camera men throughout the country to take moving pictures of high-school life in the larger cities. The photographers, at the suggestion of Mr. Fuller, decided to film the senior Color Day ceremony. The first pictures were taken of the seniors when they marched out of the en- trance, the girls in white, with trimmings of jade and peach, the senior colors, and the boys in dark suits. They marched Thirty-eight four abreast, boys on the outside and the girls in the middle. One line carried arches, decorated with the class colors: the next carried jade-colored poles with a peach pennant hanging from the top. The seniors then proceeded to the flag- pole in one corner of the campus. Here took place the raising of the class banner. The group circumjected themselves about the pole. The class, with band ac- companiment, sang their song, which is true to the spirit of June '29. When the song was ended, though the melody lin- gered on, the president of the class, Wilbur Leber, raised the banner while the others gave the senior cheer. Finally, Mr. Fuller, Miss Quellmalz and Mr. Hall Cthe senior sponsorsj and one of the girls who held the pennant, posed for the camera. After this, the partici- pants in this ceremony marched back into the school, there to attend classes and be Cperhapsj attentive to recitations, K3 if lifts SV jfgwgfiqjw 'N e' lr 1 I U ' -91 1 ,Z 'fe 5 Q B THE CADUCEUS NATIONAL HONOR SPGIETY W HONOR SOCIETY Marion Allsup Vladimir Anastasoff Walter Bergmann Evelyn Casey Viola Fischer Mae Forsyth Venus Frederiksen Mildred Goff George Halterman Helen Hohengarten Elizabeth Ingram Marjorie Krey Charles Martin Alberta Meyer Ruth Meyer Ruth Mohr Elsa Niehaus Marion Oberman George Parnell Bernice Rahn Eleanor Reed Brenda Richard Lena Robinson Virginia Schneider Marvin Schneller Dorothy Siever Doris Smith Lucille Smith Germaine Sorin Mildred Stiegemeyer Thirty-nine !

Melba Hankammer made a lovely unaffected heroine, and George Mason filled the part of the dashing Ramon Or- tego most admirably. The rest of the cast did their part well and contributedlgreatly to the success of the performance. The story follows: The Indians believe the Ortego ranch, owned by Ramon Ortego, is under a curse which will be lifted only when the bells of the ruined Capistrano Mission again ring as the full moon rises. Jake Kraft, who holds the mortgage on the rancho, plans with Pose, the medicine man, to have Ramon's great herd stolen so that he can foreclose and take the ranch, which he promises to restore to the Indians. No- neeta, a servant in the Ortego household, overhears this plan and begs her lover, Lone Eagle, to bring back the herd. Meanwhile, at the ranch, Professor Anderson, an Eastern scientist, arrives with his sister, Laura, and a group of students: and Marian, a school friend of the Ortego sisters, arrives with her father. Billy, the foreman, rushes in with the news that the great herd has been stolen, Noneeta, however, manages to ring the bells just as the full moon rises, and Lone Eagle drives in the herd, bringing the news that Jake Kraft has been trampled to death. The Indians now believe that the curse has been lifted and the play ends happily as Ramon shares with his friends the wealth of a gold mine discovered on the ranch, the lovers are united, and the Indians receive their land.

When you unsuccessfully juggle a bowl of soup, a plate of meat-balls, and a cup of cocoa in the lunch-room. When you study your history every time except once and then are called on for the first and only time of the five weeks on that particular day. When you receive your five weeks' test paper back and it has 54 on it. When you have just overturned your inkwell on your desk, and the ink is still dripping on to the floor, and you turn around to ask the boy be- hind you for a blotter, and you see your adviser standing there-and she asks you if you want to use her blotterl When you discover you've forgotten to bring your geometry book home with you the night before the five weeks' test. When you stoop down to pick up your gym clothes and rise up against a shower handle and feel the cold water spraying down the back of your dress. When you discover that your brother studies in your French class. When you alight from a Maryland just as the 8:10 car is leaving Vande- venter and Olive. When you have only 550 pages to read for a book-report the next day and the fuses burn out. When your sister has a terrible cold and blows her nose loud and con- tinuously all through the night, and you have nightmares about fog-horns and what it must sound like in a boiler factory. When you're requested to write some- thing funny for CADUCEUS just after you've gotten your report-card. When somebody calls up and says that Sarah has an attack of lumbago, and will be in the hospital for two weeks and you feel tender-hearted and collect dimes from the history class and send her some flowers-and the next day you meet her in the soup-line. 1 Forty two i ,, Ill ,E iii I' , ' if 0 5 QA gi ' S 'N MW' 4.

Outside, the March wind howls mourn- fully, but let it howl--let it do anything, for we, the new seniors of Jan- uary, l930, are electing our oflicers. Somewhat uproarious applause and cries of Page Elmer, greeted the election of Elmer Nickel as our president. Elmer came in, with ears slightly crimson and the famous Nickel grin a bit wider than usual. But what is even the best presi- dent without a secretary? Just what a new Easter dress is without a new hat. So we elected Nellie DeBord as our sec- retary. Nuff sed. Now comes our money man, namely, George Mason, and ye new seniors, take heed: pay your dues, or George is gonna git you if you don't watch out. Of course we must have a dependable representative in the Student Council, and, I ask you, who could be better than Neal Draper? Now the election closes with the selection of your humble correspondent to fill up space, and incidentally, to report the pro- ceedings of the class in CADUCEUS. With Miss Quellmalz, and Mr. Hall, our capable sponsors, always eager to help make our new senior term enjoyable, and always ready to enter into the spirit of our fun, we feel sure of a successful term. At our two practice dances, everybody got acquainted, and various members of the dancing committee swooped down on defenseless new seniors who could not dance, and proceeded to teach them. Most of them proved very apt pupils. Having broken the ice, we were prepared to en- joy ourselves immensely at our Get-To- gether Party, the 22nd of Marchg and we did! The excellent music, delicious re- freshments, attractive Easter decorations, and above all, the festive spirit of good fellowship, all contributed to make our party what a colloquially inclined new senior called a '4wow. This is but the beginning of our career. Watch us, everybody: things are going to happen fast and furiously. I - E ' I lt jf 3 ' iff A , MH , t , wi.. M711 Em a w- E-.:.

Prepara- tion for the grand event had been in progress for several weeks. Formal invi- tations were sent to the guests, each girl inviting her mother or a friend. The class was divided in t o f i v e g r 0 u p s o r committees, each with a chairman and Miss Evans as general supervisor. The financial committee began its task by collecting a small fee from each girl to meet the ex- penses of the reception, such as invitations, refreshments, and flowers. The decora- tion committee put the suite in perfect order, even supplying from their homes things they have so far been unable to ob- tain for the suite. On the day of the party the reception committee was wide awake and busy wel- coming the guests. Mr. Euller and Miss Schaumberg, a former home economics teacher at Beaumont, also honored us with their presence. Forty-six When our guests had all arrived, the entertainment committee opened the pro- gram with a musical number by two of its members. A very interesting speech was given by another member of the com- mittee on the work done in the Household Arts depart- ment. The work of each term, begin- ning with our first timid efforts in the sewing room, was display- ed and ex- plained. The dresses and hats made by girls of lower term classes were of espe- cial interest. As a finale to the program, another musical number was given. This was followed by a delicious luncheon served by the refreshment committee. Everyone enjoyed the simple repast-sandwiches and punch, cake and orange ice. Each guest received as a souvenir a photograph of the class. They were also presented with several flowers from the bouquets which had adorned the table and buffet. The guests expressed delight with the various rooms and the interesting equip- ment. The rooms are furnished generously with living room set of upholstered wicker: the dining room is complete with a dark wood set, tea table, dishes, linen, and silver. The kitchen furnishings include table, cabinet, range, and refrigerator. 5. 1 V 1 ' w 1 34 'gh v Y w . W E?G: f3ya - fa . as - fa E51 -B .' Vl ' 5 'A Qi 1 -tb 4 ,lf 5, Ffh ,.... - ' fl,-I ,,..'

But from the very beginning, it may be noted that the Algonquin Indians called the stream Mech-e-se-be, meaning Great Waters or Father of Waters. Other Indian tribes lower in the valley, had other names for the stream. ll THE writings of the early ex- The first appearance of the great river on a map of the New World was on a chart sent to Charles V in 1820, by Cortez. A forked stream is indicated as entering the Gulf of Mexico somewhere near the point where the Mississippi en- ters the Gulf. This river is called Rio del Spiritu Sancto, meaning River of the Holy Ghost. Cabiza de Vaca had strange tales to tell, but he did not name the broad stream that he found on his way to Mexico from Florida in l528. De Vaca was sailing along the Gulf coast, and he tells that he encountered a fresh water outflow at a point about 90 degrees longitude. This was many years before De Soto came afoot across the continent and crossed the great river which he called Rio Grande. Shortly after he died and was buried in the stream, Garcillasso, who wrote an account of De Soto, called the river Chucagua: and declares that the Indians called it so: but this was also one of the early names for the Ohio River. Other early writers des- ignated the Mississippi as Tamalisieu as Tapatu and as Mico. De Soto left no maps. A map of Flori- da by Ortelius in 1580, shows the first interior course of the Mississippi, and here Forty-eight he calls it by its earlier name Rio del Spiritu Sancto. Other old maps show the river designated by such names as A'Chucaquaz, Canaveral and Rio de Flores. It was not until 1661 that the Algonquin name A'Mischipi was given to the stream, and this spelling appears on a map by Penalosa, governor of New Mexico, who went in that year to visit the Quivera Indians. Now, as Penalso heard this name from the Arkansas Indi- ans, who were not of the Algonquin tribe, it appears that among the Indians them- selves the whole watercourse was called by this name in pre-pioneer days. The pro- nunciation is indicated as Mee-chee-see- bee. Thwaits Allouez, the Jesuit missionary, is credited with using the word Missis- sippi for the first time. This was before the discovery by Marquette, but for thirty years there had been indications in Jesuit letters of a great river flowing south or southwest, its sources not far from the Great Lakes. Palisado and Escondido were later Spanish designations, the first referring to the trees seen floating in the streams near its mouth, and the latter name, from the fact that numerous bayous, cut-offs, made the river difficult to follow. St. Louis was the original French name for the Mississippi. Joliet called the river Baude. La Salle first called the Mississippi 'AColbert, for the great French statesman. Every explorer, called the river by his particular designation. But the name Mississippi continued to be used. The Indians called it so, and so it re- mained. , is THE CADUCEUS THE GREATEST RACE IN THE HISTORY OF SAINT LOUIS By HOWARD ELDER H AT all? Well, my father saw the ffm Kentucky Derby once. I Huh! I got you beat a mile, 7 'cause my brother saw the big races at Indianapolis last year. Retired pilot Simms dropped the paper which he had been reading in the pleasant sunshine and looked at the two boys who were having a friendly argument on the lawn before him. He looked toward the river flowing by the foot of the cliff on which he was seated, and a whimsical smile crossed his face as he called the two boys. A'You fellows think the Kentucky Derby and the races at Indianapolis are the greatest races ever run, he began, as they spread themselves out on the grass before him, but they aren't so much. Let me tell you about the greatest race that ever happened since the time of Ben Hur. I mean the famous steamboat race between the Robert E. Lee and the Natchez, run from New Orleans to Saint Louis in 1870. The Robert E. Lee was a handsome boat, 297 feet in length with eight boil- ers. She was built at Jeffersonville, Indi- ana, and had out-run every other vessel on the river since the time of her initial voyage in 1867. However, in l869, the Natchez, a steamer 207 feet long, also having eight boilers, was built in Cincinnati and when, in the spring of 1870, she completed the trip from New Orleans to St. Louis in faster time than any ever made by the Lee, the whole country took notice and demanded a boat-to-boat test. Accord- ingly, the Pony Express and telegraph soon carried the news to all parts of America that the big match would be held, and would start on June thirtieth, In order to reduce the weight and to make the boats able to plow through the water faster than ever before, all of the dunnage was removed, all machinery not absolutely necessary taken out, doors taken off, and all stateroom furniture removed, Mark Twain says that Captain Cannon of the Lee even threw his gloves overboard to lighten the load. Finally, on the after- noon of the thirtieth, carrying the small- est of crews, the Lee pulled out with much bustle aboard and great volume of smoke belching forth from her stacks. Five min- utes later the Natchez followed and soon caught up with her. The fight was on, from the very start a real battle. r 'Past the Red River, Natchez, and the bluffs of Vicksburg the great steamers raced. Past armies of followers of one or the other, hailing from all parts of the nation, the great bulks strove, illuminated at night by the lights of the huge bon1'ires built by spectators all along the shore, in anticipation of the passage of the mighty steamers. On and on they went, past the Ar- kansas and Memphis, to Cairo at the mouth of the great Ohio: sometimes bow and bow, sometimes with the advantage for one or the other, It was a close race. But at Cairo the Natchez met disaster. Arriving slightly later than the Lee, she was caught in a fog and lost much valu- able time, which she never made up. From a point of vantage at Cape Gir- ardeau, some one hundred and twenty miles below St. Louis, where I happened to be at the time, the race was a beautiful sight. There the river makes a great horseshoe some thirteen miles in length, of bend which both the upper and lower points can be seen from the city. Late in the evening the Lee first hove into sight around the lower CCiray'sj point. She was a wonder- ful sight as she steamed up the river there Forty-nine I I I I I I I I ' :Q rf tl Q 'R a h 42 W5-'Higiigziiit f ' -5 1 in c - 1 g Will? .ILS L+ 2 N if I U 0 THECADUCEUS majestically and proudly, her lower deck aglare with the light of her fires, and flecked now and then with the light of a fire on shore. Finally she disappeared around the upper bend CMinton's Pointl, and at the same moment the Natchez ap- peared at Gray's Point. Clearly the fog at Cairo had ruined the Natchez, but that did not stop her: she pushed on, straining to the utmost and hoping, although she arrived at St. Louis several hours later than the Lee. From newspaper accounts, we later learned that when the Lee came into sight at St. Louis, a tremendous cheer went up from the thousands who were assembled on the levee and on the roofs of the tower- ing three-story buildings. The Lee rode up to the Eads Bridge, which was then in the course of construction, circled back, and moored at Market Street: and the crowds which rushed upon the boat nearly swamped her. From New Orleans to St. Louis, 1278 miles, the Lee had made the marvelous time of three days, eighteen hours, fourteen minutes while the Natchez landed in sight of her disappointed but loyal followers three hours, forty-four minutes later, also having completed a noteworthy run. A respectful silence ensued. Some race! Hnally broke the silence and One rolled over and playfully planted his fist in the general direction of Two's liver. ,,.H3f,,,1i,u A 25515 3 ' Edin.

Volumes of smoke poured out through the ooo' chimney and made dark shadows across the moonlit sky. Pilots were shout- ing excited orders to the engineers below, and deck hands were busy fueling and re- fueling the furnaces to their utmost ca- pacity. The moonlight playing on the Mississippi waves and the swift white boats, lit up by the moon without and lights within, were beauty and romance to the three watchers on shore. Of the three, however, only one was really moved by what was going on. Anne Davis, dark- haired and blue-eyed, was a typical South- ern girl, very romantic and constantly dreaming of her Prince Charming. She wore a huge hoop skirt bedecked with all sorts of lace, ruffles, and frills. Mr. Davis was the typical indulgent father of the South, who led his daughter to believe that money grew on trees. The Davis mansion was built on the shore, and boat racing had become a necessity to Anne's romantic nature. The other two with Anne were rival suitors who unfortunately had called at the same time this evening. Jim Lane was a tall, powerful blond with a very cheer- ful and engaging disposition. The other. Ned Burton, was the dark, Southern type, rather inclined to be serious. Both had repeatedly proposed to Anne, but she was unable to make up her mind, or at least she did not want to. Jim and Ned were now sullen and silent, but Anne was hold- ing her breath and straining her eyes as the boats raced by. The pilots on those boats are the most brave and fearless men I ever saw, she said admiringly. Suddenly Jim was struck with an idea. So that's what she liked! Heroism, bra- very, on the river. Well, he'd show her! Glancing at Ned, he heaved a sigh of re- lief. Ned hadn't taken Anne's hint: he was still frowning at the river. That same night Jim made his plans. The next morning he came to the Davis plantation and met Anne on the lawn where they had watched the two racing packets. Good morning. l've come to say good-byef' he began in his jovial man- ner, Good-bye? Yes He sobered down. I can't tell you where l'm going nor why, but before l leave, Anne, l want you to promise that you'll not have an engagement ring on when l get back. Anne looked at him as though that were rather hard to expect of her, but finally she said lightly. Oh, l promise. Jim made St. Louis his destination, be- cause a large city would offer more oppor- tunities at the levees for a young man who wished to become a steamboat pilot. Jim was rather glad of this chance to get back to the river. His father had been an ex- pert pilot, and Jim had worked as a deck hand on the same boat, gathering experi- ence and physical strength. At this job he had learned to carry impossible loads, sleep in impossible places, and eat impos- sible food. Then he had become a striker or cub engineer in the engine room. This job was a more responsible one, and he had to take care of the machinery and boilers, and carry out the orders of the pilot. Shortly after Jim received his en- gineer's license, his father had died sud- denly. Jim's life on the boat had been hard, and he had grown tired of it. After his father's death, he had left the river, and had gone to live with an aunt and uncle in the town of Brunswick, where he Fifty-one Lf 'N s, EP ,x A H 'xwigfvggiiegjt i N. r i- f -a.sea-an-africa?-.,. l l it l it Htl THE CADUCEUS met Anne. He never told Anne of his river life, because he knew she could never condescend to marry him. But now he was going to show her what he could do, With the aid of his father's reputation and his own experience, Jim soon became apprenticed to the famous Pilot Rollins on the Tigress, a mountainous New Orleans boat. Jim's life was hard now, but the work was fascinating and he en- joyed it. As a cub pilot he had to learn the name and location of every town, point, bend, island, sandbar, snag, and wreck. He had to have in his mind a map of the shape and appearance of the river, which was always changing. The depth of the channel at every point, the chang- ing depth of the water between one trip and the next-all this he had to know, besides the trees, houses, points, bars, lay his had to posts, and hollows by which to course. And then, of course, he take the wheels in the pilot house and ap- intense ply his knowledge. But Jim's eagerness to become a good pilot brought him excellent progress. Back in Brunswick, Ned was taking ad- vantage of Jim's absence. He called regu- larly and proposed regularly. Anne re- fused regularly, but not emphatically enough to discourage him. She was angry with Jim. The way he had said good- bye led her to believe that he would be gone for a few days, but now three months had gone by, and he said nothing in his letters about coming home. And then she had been so foolish as to make that silly promise. Ned grew impatient. One evening, after some unprofitable conversation, he ex- claimed, Look here, Anne, I want to know why you keep putting me off. I don't know, Ned. I'm just unde- cided, that's all. Well if you won't come out with the truth, I will. You're in love with Jim Lane and you know it. Anne reddened with anger, and her voice trembled as she cried, Ned Burton, Fifzy-two how dare you accuse me of such a thing! You can leave right now, and I don't ever care to see you again. Ned, rather sorry for the commotion he had caused, left without a word, and Anne was heartbroken, It was hard enough to have Jim gone, but now Ned had gone off, too. One day, Mr. Davis announced that he had to make a business trip to St. Louis, and asked his daughter to accompany him. You can stay with Winifred, you know, he added. Oh, Dad, I'd just love to get away from here, especially since--well, I'd just love to go. Besides, I haven't seen Winnie for years. So Anne and her father left the small town for the big city. Winifred was Anne's cousin, who resembled her remark- ably. Mr. Davis soon had to go back to the plantation, but he gave Anne permis- sion to stay as long as she liked, and in- vited Winnie to come home with her. Be- tween shopping, seeing the sights, and going to parties, the days hurried by, and Anne didn't think about going home, In the meantime, Jim won his spurs. Ordinarily it would have taken longer to earn a license, but one day old Pilot Roll- ins collapsed at the wheel from a heart attack. The duty of pilot fell to Jim. He had often taken the wheel before, but Rollins had been there to coach him. Now the fate of the huge boat was in his hands. That first hour in the pilot house alone was the most anxious in Jim's life. Every once in a while the Tigress would quiver, feeling the shoal water. Often she hung poised in a narrow channel waiting for the current to put her into position. The captain of the boat was all anxiety. Then the running became easier. Once the channel shifted slightly, but Jim was able to follow it. Then, adding to the difhcul- ties, a fog arose. The cub pilot had to steer by memory. The strain on him had been so great that a second mate was dele- gated to help twist the rudders. After sev- 0 ' h C? f- x If-5' T9 567 ' lxxsgi 'i fir fr' A ffrhvxii 5,3 'L fr, ' fl 'K Tl-IECADUCEUS eral hours the fog lifted, and the huge boat landed at St. Louis. A cub pilot had brought the Tzlgress in safely! When Pilot Rollins recovered and heard the news, he demanded that Jim be given his license, and since Pilot Rollins was au- thority, Jim was thus rewarded. He was to be regular pilot on the Bates running between St. Louis and New Orleans. Now his chance had come! One evening at Winnie's home. someone happened to remark that the Bates had challenged the Natchez in a race to Bruns- wick. To Brunswick? said Anne, That's funny. Of all the races that have passed our house, none has ever ended at the town. Oh, Winnie, I wish we could be there. Why, Anne, we can be there, and, bet- ter yet, we can be in the race! 'AYou can't mean-, began her cousin. i'Of course, we'll simply pack our clothes and board the Bates. Are you game? A'Leave it to you to think of thrilling things, Winnie. Of course, I'm game, replied Anne. Jim was leaning over the railing of the upper deck watching the passengers board the boat, when suddenly the sight of one of them nearly caused him to fall to the deck below. It was Anne, and she had another girl with her! Now it was clear why he had never seen her when he passed her home on those trips to New Orleans. It had been rather embarrassing for Jim to challenge a large boat in an important race to a small town such as Brunswick, but he had explained that the levees there were convenient for landing and that he had valuable cargo to take there. He had expected Anne to be at the levee to see him win the race, and now she was on his own boat! But did she know that he was piloting the Bates? If she didn't, he sin- cerely hoped that she wouldn't find out now. The two boats backed off the landing together amidst cheers from the crowd on the levee, and straightened their courses. The race was on! The Natchez at the outset put on full steam and gained several miles, but in straining the machinery a cylinder-head broke. Jim, who had been going at an average speed, saving extra fuel until it was necessary to use it, easily caught up with his rival while the ma- chinery was being repaired. The boats raced neck and neck the first day. Jim snatched a few hours' sleep, turning his post over to the second pilot. By the next morning the Natchez was out of sight. Jim had run the Bates at a safe, steady speed, not straining the engines or boilers. At noon the Bates stopped at Lionel and was informed that the Natchez had passed early in the morning. Jim knew that those on board wanted more speed, and the thought of Anne urged him on. A'Fuel her up, down there! he shouted through the speaking tube to the firemen. Soon black smoke and sparks were shooting out of the smokestacks. The boat was going at railroad speed. The passengers and crew were excited now, and many of them were betting. It was not until night that the lights of the Natchez were seen far ahead. When the Bates caught up with her rival, the con- Hdent Natchez was surprised. Now both pilots were shouting orders and the fire- men were fueling heavily. Neither boat had a decisive gain that night. Jim was exhausted, but he was not go- ing to give up now. He must win this race, especially with Anne on board. Soon a rim of gold flame began to show above the smokestacks of the Natchez. Jim knew that resin was being thrown into the furnaces with the coal. He shouted to his engine room, and soon fire was show- ing at the tip of his own stacks. Bruns- wick could now be seen. All at once there was a stir on board the Bates. The engines' beat quickened, the exhaust hissed Fifty-three so , 5 . .,,v .. f- a '5fig.1W gy F 7gf'vv'-leijtggj xl . . -N -A-. Swv 4 z Q nigh?

In the last lap, the Bates steamed ahead and landed at the levee, the Natchez pulling in not far be- hind. The levee was crowded with people of the neighboring towns and the shouts that went up were terrific. The passengers of both boats were hurrying off the decks, but Anne and Winnie stayed behind. 'lLet's go up and see who the pilot was, Winnie, said Anne, and the two girls hurried to the upper deck. There they stopped to look over the crowd. Oh, Winnie, there's Ned I've been telling you about! Where, Anne, where? cried the other girl, who immediately became interested. Scarcely had the girls uttered the words, when the cheers of the crowd changed to cries of horror. The boat was on fire! A furnace, over-heated during the last lap, had set fire to a fresh pile of fuel nearby. The flames spread rapidly through the wooden boat, and Anne and Winnie were petrified with horror. Just as Anne turned, Jim rushed out of the pilot house. Jimi she cried in amazement. Even in that terrible moment, with the fire coming closer, they stood and looked at each other. Jim gained presence of mind. Don't get excited, Anne. Do as I say and you will be safe, he assured her, and snatching life preservers from a nearby rack he adjusted one on Anne and another on Winnie. The Hames were very near. Rushing to the extreme, as yet unburned, part of the boat, Jim helped Anne down one of the posts as far as he could reach, and then yelled: You'll have to jump, Anne! I'll fol- low you. After a terrible instant of hesitation she plunged into the Hrelit water. When Jim turned to assist Winnie, she had already climbed down another post and jumped. The members of the crew, all but trapped by the ire, were making their own way to shore. Jim swam after Anne, who was completely exhausted, and struggled to shore with her. The crowd on the levee had not forgotten the race. Jim was given an ovation. Watching from the shore, Ned had admired Winnie's daring. And then she looked so much like Anne! When he saw her jump, he went into the water, and now he was helping her in. A few days later, after the excitement had died down, Anne said: Well, what do you think of my hero, Winnie? 'AYou haven't anything on me, my dear cousin, replied that young lady. Shall we have a double wedding, dear? teased Anne. You're rushing things, Anne. But if you give me a little more time I think we might. X, l .V ? ' lntt I ' 1 ....-'-- f.-11:..3f'1j,-,1ii'. 1 A f g. g Fifty-four . i -,'f'Rf.ff'-1f':'Jif-fw . .....

The wind roared down each street in a vain attempt to erase the glimmer, but flnally with a sob of dis- couragement halted at a window in a dis- mal neighborhood. Myrna Fuller hunched close to the blaze in the fireplace and lis- tened to the lamenting song of the wind as it rattled the window pane, its moan- ing and sobbing an echo to her own emo- tions. Her eyes wandered to the mantle above the fireplace and rested on a tiny golden god. Chin in hand, she contem- plated him dreamily. Well, old timer, I guess we're in for it this time. It's been a week since I lost my job and no work in sight yet. We've exactly twenty-seven cents between us and starvation. She brushed the short curls from her face and wistfully watched the smoke of the incense curl from his golden body to the water-soaked ceiling. She laughed mirthlessly. You needn't go up in smoke about it. I bought you the incense, didn't I? You always have had it and I couldn't bear to see you without it, somehow. It just wouldn't seem right. It's funny how a little golden thing could get me to starve myself half to death. If I had an imagi- nation, I'd say you had me charmed. Leaning back in her chair, she gathered her knees in her arms, while a weary smile flickered over her face. Well, we're job- less and no dinner is waiting and it's a gorgeous night to be gloomy: so let's en- joy ourselves being miserable. Myrna sat quietly with her eyes on the features of the god. He was a compelling little figure, with his boldly chiselled fea- tures and beautiful golden robes. The wind gave a shriek and pounded the window with alarm as a pale blue haze settled over the room from the fire, which leaped with a queer start and sent forth stars as if it were stirred into life. The god moved and his features began to grow. His dark, mystical eyes took on the glim- mer of fear as he stepped from the mantle. His garments, flowing from his shoulders in soft graceful lines, gave forth a scent of the Orient. His eyes peered down at her from under his turban of gold and a smile spread over his features as he bowed. I am Buddha Yamova, a god of India, known in my country as Ruler of Dreams, he said. I have come to thank you for that which you have done for me. You are not a believer in the gods of India, but you have been kind enough to burn incense for me, even to the extent of deny- ing yourself. I now desire to repay your kindness. He handed her a tiny box of sandal- wood which she had not noticed before and bowed again. Pray, take it, he said. You will find the gift of Yamova within. As she opened it an odor of spices min- gled with a pungently sweet aroma caused her senses to reel. It is the incense from the Temple of the Priests of Krishna, he told her. It has the power to give you that for which you may wish. Light it and make your two wishes, Myrna Fuller. Yamova has not forgotten. She did as he told her with a thrill of fear and hope, holding the burning cube in her hand, she wished, A good steady job and-and-something to eat, Buddha. I'm nearly starved. Yamova smiled, bowed and took the box from her hands. Even so it will come to pass, he said. A hot ash fell from the cube of incense onto her hand. She leaped to her feet with a startled cry and stared wildly around the room. The fire had died down suddenly Fifty-five fl xl , A..

A knock startled her from her thoughts and she went to the door. The tall blond from across the hall smiled at her in a friendly fashion as Myrna swung the door open. A'Hello, she said unceremoniously. All by your lonesome? So am l. Say, this storm's about to kill my naturally sunny disposition. She turned her head to listen to the wind and rain, which had increased. 'Al sort of wondered if you'd come over and join me at supper, she con- tinued. There's a roast and spuds and pie and coffee. Yes, I admit l'm trying to tempt you, but your presence may save me from choking myself to death every time it thunders. There it goes again! she wailed as a crash rent the air.

The golden god sat with a smile on his fea- tures. She lit another cube of incense, which she had purchased that day, and set it before him. Gee! was all she said. UGee,,f The wind, who had been the only wit- ness to what had taken place that night, was not the one to tell whether Yamova, the Ruler of Dreams and god of India, had stood in those small damp rooms or whether it had been a dream. With a whoop of joy, he gave a parting tap on the window and scurried away to pursue his mad dance through the streets. Q if gf, RW' Al K W' I 0' . J I U . T M 'f?l:-as . 'ibm ' W. V-1 V t . l .

Perhaps that explains it all, but the reader shall decide, Here is the story. On a bright, sunshiny May morning, Don was leaning dejectedly against the ash-pit in his back yard. His face bore a woeful expression. What boy's wouldn't? It was already ten o'clock on Saturday morning: he had no one to play with: and he had to go out with his mother just when he could be playing baseball, which, along with football and vacation, he loved. Suddenly his face lighted up. He had heard a boy's voice. 'lHi, Don, whatcha doin'? inquired the voice, which belonged to a very mas- culine bit of humanity on the fence. A'Hello, Art, I'm not doing anything right now, but my mother and I are go- ing out soon, replied Don. Oh, little Marmaduke has to go out with his mama, don't he? Why doncha do something wrong once? Afraid your old man will whip yuh, aintcha? came sarcastically from Mr. Arthur Bond, aged twelve. I am not, Arthur Bond, and to show you I'll go anywhere with you right now! cried Don passionately. Yes, you will, doubtfully: then, if your gonna be such a big, bad boy, 'spose you come with me and we'll go over on Market Street, where the railroad yards are, Art sneered, All right, I will, exclaimed Don heatedly and with finality. Exeunt the boys, via the fence. Don was short and plump, with laugh- ing blue eyes and ruddy cheeks. His hair was a light brown and slightly curly, which fact he detested. He spent many laborious moments trying to flatten it down by plastering it close to his head with water. He was good-natured, albeit somewhat mischievous, and in the winter time liked to snowball the derbies of all would-be Beau Brummels. Nevertheless, though his markmanship usually brought an accounting with his father, he was straightforward and frank, and never lied about his escapades. Like most other boys ten years old, he was fond of all outdoor sports, and sometimes, to the despair and horror of his mother, got into a fight. Don's only ambition was to live down his name, with which his father was wholly in sympathy. Arthur Bond, two years older than his companion, was one of the bullying, illit- erate type that is found in every neighbor- hood. After arriving at the railroad yards, the boys began to wander about slowly, in- specting and investigating every unusual thing in the yards. It was not long before the boys began to feel the pangs of hunger. On a hand-car near them, Don discovered a package tied up in a newspaper, but of a size and shape to suggest a lunch. Art had no qualms about taking the sandwiches, and as most small boys' consciences are utterly routed by the devastating influence called appetite, it was not long before they were contentedly munching away. Suddenly, Don sat bolt upright from his comfortable half reeling position and ex- claimed fearfully: Gee, I never thoughtl What time is it, Art? 'Bout noon, I guess. What's the diff, anyway? growled Mr, Bond. But, Art, how will my mother know where I am and what will she think of me? asked Don pleadingly. Aw, my gosh! What's the matter with yuh? Gettin' scared already? Fifty-seven A U 1 yi s l diff.. nr 1 rfb xi ji 2c-Siiiwii i l'i2EF1fQf gf l l if if HQ THECADUCEUS Oh, no, it's all right, I guess, replied Don, as he remembered his reason for go- ing on the trip. So he settled back again, but had he known what was transpiring at home, he would have left his trains and sand-piles and run all the way back. At home his mother had been annoyed, but not worried at his absence when she was ready to leave. She thought that he would surely come home for lunch! But noon and lunch time passed, and still no Don. His mother, a refined, sensitive woman, given to hysterics on the slightest provo- cation, became alarmed. She inquired of every passing boy as to whether he had seen Don. UNO 'm, I haven't seen him since early this morning, was the usual answer. At three o'clock she telephoned for her husband to come home and enlisted the aid of every bicycle-equipped boy and girl in the neighborhood to look for him. At four o'clock she and her husband bor- rowed a friend's car and drove frantically up and down the street, searching, search- ing, searching. Where, oh where, was their wandering boy? Had he been badly hurt or kidnaped? Oh, good' Lord, not that, prayed Mrs. Roberts. At five, after a futile search, a policeman was sent for. Confusion dominated the houseg questions, answers, hysterical orders, moans of anguish, and sometimes screams filled the air. About six o'clock, just as Mrs. Roberts started out on another search, a ringing cheer arose. He is found! He is found! was the cry. Here came Don trudging up the street, grimy and dirty, but with a happy, oh, so happy, look on his perspir- ing countenance. Then all the searchers and friends went up to Don, shook his hand or embraced him, as their feelings dictated: and the doc- tor was summoned for Mrs. Roberts, who had fainted in the excitement. Quiet reigned again, for the first time since early afternoon. Later in the evening, after Don had had a good hot bath, clean clothes, and a hearty meal, which tasted like nectar and ambrosia, Mr. Roberts led Don to his mother's room, where she lay. After a long talk, interspersed by many sobs, tears, and hugs, Mrs. Roberts bravely told her husband to do his duty. Dad and Don proceeded to the bath room, whence came awful sounds, which caused the poor, unstrung mother to cover her ears. However, if we be permitted to investigate, we find that the belt was sim- ply hitting the edge of the bath tub, cov- ered by a bath towel, and that Don was uttering those terrible cries from a smiling mouth, while his left hand clutched the hitherto unattainable sum of ONE DOL- LAR and his right clung to his father's. Donald Marmaduke Roberts had finally succeeded in refuting the silent but awful testimony his name gave and in severing the apron strings, much to his father's de- light and pride. ...lx l- I A v 4 'A I in 'Ii in A ii- i' A xv., l. , .V . . ai - 'ly , - S- l i I ..-'TT , l' i H -- ,N Fifty-eight A U 1. fff- l 1mQ vw wi 1 N..

It was not any fault of his that his kffcfa mother had practically proposed to the girl for him. In fact, it had been quite a blow when their engagement had been announced to him. That was not Roger's idea of getting engaged to a girl at all. He had pictured himself dashing upon the scene and rescuing the damsel from the teeth of some onrushing monster, or some such thing. He had not planned it all yet, but his way would be quite dif- ferent from his mother's. He pronounced it a rotten deal to give a fellow, especially one who had a mind of his own and a taste for picking his own babes. Now if he had been cross-eyed or red-headed or had some other such affliction, he might have needed some one else to give the girl sort of a sketchy idea of his admirable character. But he had quite nice gray eyes and his hair, come to think of it, was not so bad! It was rather brown and gold and had just the hint of a wave. I-Ie wondered if Bobby had read about it in the paper yet. Good old Bobby! He had a lot of affection for her. In fact, he had proposed to her last March. No, that had been Berenice. It must have been in May then. He had been rather scared too after he had done it. It had turned out all right, though. Good old Bobby had understood and said no. Some pal! She had patted his shoulder and laughed, Let's see now, you old pirate! Am I the seventh or the eighth this year? What! Only the fourth? Really, Roggie, you're getting miles behind your yearly schedule. I'd advise you to be careful or some inno- cent is going to take you seriously. Soon after that, she had gone to Paris on some wild goose chase. How he wished she were here to confide in! His mother never had approved of her. Roger, she complained, I do wish that you would not see that wild Barbara Flemmings any more. She's continually in some unheard of act and I do not want you to get mixed up in the publicity that she is always getting. I know that nice girls never have their names in print unless they are going to get married, or for some special social function. Oh, Bobby might be a bit loose with the footsies, but she was a wonderful girl. Nothing deceitful about her: free and open, you know. Of course, it had been a little unheard of to ride that donkey down the street with its red-lettered sign- VOTE FOR CUMMINGS. He's for the poor Working Girl, more Working Men and less Hash. It was something to that effect, anyway. Well, it had been original. and Cummings had gone over big. No doubt that her little campaign had helped. Thus it was the heartbreaker of three different states and two colleges strolled through the park and lamented his des- tiny. He welcomed this solitude to bring forth his troubles and to let them parade beside him in their garments of mourning. It is, indeed, most aggravating to be brought from a deep contemplation of facts by a deafening automobile horn, and it is most undignifred to find yourself sit- ting on the front bumpers of a red road- ster with one leg draped over a front light and your hat riding gaily on the radiator cap. This was the exact position in which the hero of this little ballad found him- self. What in the name of Maryland! he began as he unwrapped himself. For a moment he was quite unable to express his darkening opinion of red roadsters. Listen to me, you cross-eyed, hair- brained murderer! he raged. You've dislocated my spine! Then, seeing a pair Fifty-nine S1726 l l ll .-. Y . . -lv -1 All 3 W THE CADUCEUS of silk sheathed limbs, he weakly ejacu- lated, Oh, pardon me! Sir, said this apparition. Sir, on closer examination you will discover that I am neither cross-eyed nor hair-brained, and from your acrobatic stunts I come to the conclusion that I am not a murderer. Besides, Roger Westgate, you have no con- sideration for your language in the pres- ence of ladies. I have been looking for you, but now I am going straight home without you. Waitl Roger fairly squeaked. It is so amusing to hear very large men squeak that a dimple twinkled in the corner of the careless young driver's mouth. You've found me, he said, rubbing his shins. clove, Barbara, you're a sight for a corpse! When did you get back? I was just wish- ing for you. And pray why, Sir Bluebeard? Have you accomplished something new in golf. or do you wish to propose to me again because there are no new girls in town? Propose? he groaned. I'm engaged now, he said in a voice that would have sounded better if he had said, HI am poi- soned. I-Engaged! How lovely! But you don't look like the blushing young groom that you should, Roggie dear. The blush is there in a slight degree, but it's more the blush of a burglar who has blundered. Hop in and tell your auntie all about it, son. He rescued his hat from the radiator and limped in. It's an awful mess, Bobby. I'm engaged to Rosemary. Rosemary Vernon! Why, Roggie, that isn't a mess, It's really luck. l'Try to understand this! Get it straight! It's an awful fumble. I don't love her, But, Roggie dear, you never loved any- one. You aren't capable of it. You have to have women around you to be happy. A bee can't live without its honey and you can't live without your women. Sixty Ah, Barbara, this is serious. I don't want to get married. I don't doubt that, my pet, but it is best. Listen to auntie now, dear. It isn't safe for a beautiful young creature like you to be running around without a protector among all these desperate women. Just see what happened today. If I had been a bad, bold girl, I could easily have kid- napped you in your weakened condition. But, being your nice old Aunt Jane, I'm going to trundle you home. Barbara, what's changed you? You used to be a regular pal and help a fellow out of a hole. You-hey, look out for that truck! You were a brick! And I still am a brick, dear heart. I admit it. I've come home to attend your wedding. I've unselfishly given up a per- fectly gorgeous time in Paris, and I almost had a count too. My! My! How these titles do flock after English dollars! If he only hadn't been slow, we could have made it a double wedding. Don't slump in your seat so, Roger. It isn't good for your lungs. I don't like it, Barbara. You've changed so. You don't give me a bit of advice. She shot a quick glance at him. Rog- gie, dear, I believe you have fever. But here we are at your love-nest: so hop out, little Prince, and run along and refresh yourself. You look a wreck, my dear. Barbara--. 'iYes, yes. I'm off now. So sorry I mu- tilated you. 'lDarn! our hero said as the red road- ster lurched down the avenue. It was two nights before the second greatest event in the history of our hero was to occur. At the Vernon home a very select crowd was assembled to rehearse. How perfectly sweet Rosemary looked! A'An artist's idea of a perfect bride, Mrs. Westgate cooed. A husband's idea of a perfect bore, Roger had expressed it. lf! I 'T fs - vffaii ,- I To U at Hg! fu.. IQ,-frbgjalkifhif 'Ys2l1'4ff95:i?t.-1214 THE CADUCEUS It was just as the dancing began that Barbara entered in a dream dress of blue and silver. Her merry eyes took in the scene and rested on the features of Trou- ble's favorite son. Her humorous mouth quirked at the corners as she greeted her hostess. So sweet of you to invite me to your little party! How perfectly charming you look this evening, Mrs. Westgate! Oh, there you are Roger. I see you have waited for me. So sweet of you! She dragged the unresisting Roger off as he was about to encircle the waist of his bride-to-be. How dare she! Mrs. Westgate sput- tered. How dare she! I did not send her an invitation and she comes here with that vulgar air of hers. The very idea-taking my son away from Rosemary. Come, Rosemary dear. We shall wait for Roger to return. As this little monologue was being carried on, Barbara bubbled with laughter. It isn't a laughing matter, Roger chastised. What will people say? It isn't that I wanted to dance with her, but I had to-I mean I should. There, there, pet. Let 'em say! Auntie's got a right to the first dance if she wants it. Weren't you begging auntie to help you only yesterday and now you don't appreciate me being your little anas- thetic and killing the pain for a little While. Listen, Barbara, I needed you yester- day and you failed me. Now I've got to go through life with that anchor. Oh, Lord! Are you praying, dear? You look so pale. Come on the porch a moment into the fresh air. We'll dance through the French windows. We can't do that. What will people say? I don't care. Your count Wouldn't like it. Counts may come and counts may go, but your auntie goes on forever. Come now, pet. You know your master's voice. Besides, Roggie, some one wants to see you in the car. Who? Come and see. So our hero, who was only human, danced through the French windows with that wild Flemmings girl in his arms and his mother on their trail. Barbara, you lied to me. There's no one here. I know it, dear heart. Sit here a min- ute. I've got something awful to tell you. I'm going inside and you're going with me, grimly. A'You can't now, Roggie darling. Hide in the roadster. Your mother's coming. He had just thrust himself into the car when it lurched up the avenue with cries of protest following them from the drive. What in Lucifer are you doing? he rasped. HI? came the innocent voice through the darkness. 'Tm taking the little Prince for a flight on my magic carpet. Don't be silly! Haven't you any sense at all? HNow, Roggie dear, don't ask for a loan at this time. I haven't a penny to spare. I do wish you wouldn't swear so. Goodness, but you're a queer one! Here I am trying to save you from the bonds of matrimony and I do believe you want to marry that girl after all. I see the lights of three cars behind. No doubt, it is the parents bringing the fair bride to the slaughter. I believe my beautiful job of kidnaping was for nought. Suddenly she laughed. Lochinvar in skirts this day, Kidnaped the groom and sailed away. A pause followed and then, Don't you understand yet, Roggie? I've saved you from matrimonyf' Well, why didn't you say so? our hero grumbled with light dawning in his eyes. Get over. l'1ldrive. No, dear heart. Auntie'll drive.

He did not dispute the matter. He grasped Bobby around the waist and unceremoniously shoved her aside. He crawled over her to the wheel as the car wobbled uncertainly on the road. What are you doing? she asked. A'I'm driving, he coolly replied, A'Where are we going? she asked. No answer. Roggie, where are we going? For a minister. Then you're going on and get mar- ried after my rescuing act? 'iYes, A long pause. i'Well, I hope you'll be happy. We will. When did, you change your mind about her? When you drove off with me. Then I was so wild that you saw what you were missing by not marrying this girl? Yes. A Another pause. Aren't you going to wait for them to catch up? They're right behind us. They'll never catch up with you if you keep going at this rate. Listen, dumbbell, if you turn down this old cow path they'1l never find you. What did I tell you! They went right past us bride, buggy, and all. Suddenly the car stopped as quickly as it had started. Out of gas? she asked. Listen, dumbbell, he mocked. You can call it that. Get yourself set now.

EMA Two playful squirrels were frisking in the branches of one of the giant oaks, which was just bursting into bud. Far away, white clouds floated lazily in a pale blue sky. But Roberta saw none of these things: she was lost in her thoughts, dreaming of her greatest ambition, to be- come a member of Chi Sigma Pi, a sorori- ty of the Crestwood Normal. I-Ier dear- est friend, Patricia Callings, had promised to do everything she could to help Ro- berta to become a fellow member. The sharp pricking of a pencil on Ro- berta's arm rudely awakened her. That meant a message. Mechanically she put her hand back and a note was slipped into it by Pat. The message was in a simple code devised by the two girls. It appeared thus: Tzmt novhrmt Zh gsv xildh mvch imd. Zuhvj ozhg xozii. Translated, Gang meeting at Crow's Nest immedi- ately after last class. It was an old mes- sage and Berta read it off without the slightest difliculty. They found Van, Bob, and Jean after school already awaiting them, but as yet there was no sign of Bud. The boys were all members of Zeta Eta Phi and the girls, with the exception of Berta, of Chi Sigma Pi. When Bud, who helped to comprise the Gang, finally arrived, Van, acting as Master-of-Ceremonies, said with mock solemnity, Will the honorable 'Gang' kindly come to order? Si, si, senor, tittered the irrepresible Jean. Silence in the courthouse. The judge is eatin' beans, thundered Van. The male portion of this Gang, he continued, have decided unanimously that all school and teachers make the 'Gang' a dull bunch, SO .... 'iBravoZ Three cheers for the boys! interrupted Jean. Can it! exclaimed Pat, who never- theless joined heartily in the rendering of cheers. Thank you, said Bob bowing. But the best is yet to come, continued Van. So we all need a rest and we in- tend to take it in Grey Summit Wood be- side a rollicking spring. All those in fa- vor stand. Opposed? The suggestion has carried. The girls will kindly retire at this time and produce eats within a half an hour and return here. Meeting adjourned. Away scampered the girls. Pat and Berta, who lived on the same block, went together. In fact they were hardly ever separatedg both were chattering as if they had not seen one another for a year. Berta, who had not lived in Crestwood very long. had never been to Grey Summit and she was looking forward to the afternoon with keen anticipation. She knew she would have a good time, for wherever the Gang went she was sure to find plenty of amuse- ment. Meanwhile Pat was talking on, I lin- ished the most wonderful book last night, 'The C1ypsy's Secret' by Denner. A young girl about our age is kidnaped by gypsies and .... Then I don't want to read it, stated Berta positively. I've been simply scared stiff of gypsies since I was knee high to a duck. But, Berta, it's . . No, let's not talk about it. Let's dis- cuss something cheerful. What do you think Perky will do tomorrow? etc. Finally they got home, packed lunch, and returned to the Crow's Nest accom- panied by Mrs. Callings, Pat's mother, who was to act as chaperone, where they Sixty-three W fr L was-ifp '- mst? or N.. le Q.-arvftssf-affslaa aa. l at it HQ THE CADUCEUS found the others waiting rather impatiently for them. Everybody ready? All right. Let's get started, said Bob. What do you gay we eat when it's dusk beside a blazing re. A chorus of ayes greeted this announce- ment and off they started. They took the trolley to about a mile from Grey Summit and walked the rest of the way. The woods at this time of the year were beautiful. Everything was fresh, green, and clean. The grass was just beginning to come up and the trees were full of tiny leaves. In the trees, the bluebirds and robins were singing and were busily at work building their nests. Overhead in the blue sky, fleecy clouds floated. This is wonderful, sighed Berta rap- turously. Why isn't it like this all the time? ' No one answered, for they were all busy drinking in the beauty of Grey Sum- mit. All that afternoon they wandered around in the woods playing games, rac- ing around like young Indians and having what Jean expressed as a whale of a good time. The sun was setting when Bud sug- gested that they go over to the other part of the woods and build a fire around which they could eat their supper. So off the Gang trudged. After going quite a distance Berta grabbed Van by the arm and said, Oh, look! There's a fire over there. Who do you suppose it is? Some campers, I suppose. Let's go and find out. I They all went over and found that it was not campers but gypsies. Now don't get scared, Berta, said Bob. They won't hurt you at all. Yes, gypsies now-a-days are perfectly harmless, I understand, said Mrs. Cal- lings. Say, said Van, wouldn't it be bully if we could eat with them? That would be what I would call real Sixty-four adventure, said Jean. What do you say we do-that is, if they will let us. All agreed but Berta, who was a little dubious. Remember what you just told me, Pat? Oh, that was only a story. Such things don't happen now-a-days. I'm sure there is no danger, said Mrs. Callings. Well, if it's all right with you, I'll go, said Berta rather hesitantly. They all assured her that nothing could possibly happen, so they entered the gypsy camp. All gypsy camps are said to be colorful, and this one was no exception. In the center was a big blazing fire. Beau- tiful girls with red or yellow bandannas on their dark hair and large skirts em- broidered in black and yellow moved here and there: and tall, swarthy looking men wearing large high boots attended to the few horses. There were only two wagons, as the tribe was rather small, and on their blue and green sides were painted crude- looking animals roving in the forests. All this the Gang made out with difliculty in the fast gathering dusk. A rather old man, whose name was Marcu, came up to them and inquired if they would like to have their fortunes told. Bud, speaking for them all, said, 'lWhy, yes, we would, but first we should like to know if we may eat around your ire and then you could tell them for us. If you please to sit with us and bear us pleasant company, we shall be glad of you. They walked up to the fire and sat down. Marcu came up also. This time he had a violin and he also sat down. Gradually more gypsies came until all were seated around the fire. We shall eat our supper now, too, explained Marcu. All this Berta watched rather fearfully, expecting almost any minute to be grabbed from behind and taken no one knew where: but nothing happened and all ate is .

His music of the Romany fires and long roads was irresistible and a beautiful gypsy girl named Mira with olive skin and beautiful dark, expressive eyes jumped up and began to dance a charming gypsy dance, the Tanana. When the dance was over, the gang loudly clamored for more, but that was all the entertainment they were to receive at that time. If the young ryes will please come, I will lead you to Stela. She shall tell your fortunes, Marcu informed them. I don't want mine told, said Berta. Come on, Berta, said Pat. HNothing can hurt you, exclaimed Jean. Well-all right. I'l1 go, replied Berta rather doubtfully. Marcu led them to a wagon, which was at the end of the cleared space. But I thought you always told for- tunes in tents, not wagons, Berta de- clared. That is what we usually do, but we will not be here long and so the tents are down, Marcu explained. I'll go first if you're scared, Berta, said Pat. I'll show you that nothing will happen, Pat went into the wagon and after a short time came out exclaiming over her fortune, which she hoped would come true. Berta was finally persuaded to go next, and in she climbed, aided by Marcu. In- side it was very dark. Gradually, how- ever, her eyes became accustomed to the darknessg and in the corner she could make out a wrinkled old woman sitting at a tiny table and near her, Mira, the beau- tiful gypsy girl, who had danced at sup- per. A tiny candle furnished the only light. Mira indicated that Berta should seat herself in front of the old woman. After her palm had been crossed with sil- ver, she began to shuffle the cards. Mira indicated that Berta should make a wish, and as she did this the wagon began to move. She looked questioningly at Stela and Mira, but both gave no sign that any- thing unusual had happened. Suddenly Marcu and another strong looking gypsy jumped in the wagon from behind and began to advance toward her. She started to scream, but she felt a handkerchief placed over her mouth by Mira from be- hind, which muffled her cry. Outside she could hear the yells of Jean, Bob, Bud, Pat, and her mother. She tried to jump up but Marcu held her. After a while Mira took away the handkerchief but warned her to be quiet or it would be the Worse for her. By this time, however, Berta was so thoroughly frightened 'she could hardly have yelled if she tried. Kid- naped by gypsies! The very thing she had feared! Oh, what would happen! Would she ever get home again? Now go on with that fortune, a deep voice rumbling in her ear brought her back from her reverie. 'lThen the gorgios can't say we don't give them what they pay for. L Then the rather cracked tones of Stela began to drone out the usual fortune. l'The young rye, she is loved by a tall, dark, handsome man with deep blue eyes. He love her ver' much, ver' much .... etc. But Berta was not interested in young men at that moment and her mind began to again think of ways and means to escape. One word, however, caught her attention. Ambition? She was to get her greatest ambition? All well and good, but not when one is captured by gypsies. Stela was going on in a monotone, Yes, she repeated, you will get your ambition ver' soon, ver' soon. Quicker than you think. Let's see. It is to become a member of some club, yes, the Chi Sigma Pi, or what you call it? Yes, with a sudden raising of voice, you have gotten it. Up jumped Stela, the old woman, and tore off her wig and in her place stood Dot, the president of Chi Sigma Pi. The wagon stopped, and a loud singing of the S ixty-five ,' K A V, 75 'e'Jg7 'Na cw ' fr i-In-if '1.M9?s??-auf li- ii CA ' jfgl 'Q 2 Q A N ll: , L 1-'-' .vi ,- C U lhl if ual 1 ,J ml V - Q Q gf '- K ' an THE CADUCEUS Chi Sigma Pi song was heard outside. Mira also underwent a change, as had Marcu and the other gypsy. The curtain of the Wagon was raised and looking in were boys and girls of her age, dressed as gypsies, but all members of Chi Sigma Pi and Zeta Eta Phi. Why-Why, what is the meaning of this? stammered the still dazed Berta. It means, laughed Dot, the president, that now you are one of us. This was your initiation in Chi Sigma Pi. And there really were no gypsies and I wasn't kidnapped or anything? queried Berta as a great light was dawning on her. No, they all laughed, the wagon was going round in a circle the whole time. 'lThis is really too good to be true, sighed Berta happily, pinching herself to make sure she was not dreaming. Suddenly, as the wagon gave a lurch, all in it tumbled and fell over each other, and the sound of their young laughter floated over the silent woods. r w FT 3 -N ' 9f'sIFf- I X rf X 3 fi Jfllx ag-10' ' fd 'Nd fl ln Q X 1 ,I H, - 'v ' wx--' Wwe iv f . - ' A r.lf'l,,.'

BUss HE little Arcadia valley lay bask- ing serenely in the protection af- forded by its bulwarks of gently rugged hills. The peace and quiet restfulness was reflected in everything. A slight breeze stirred. The green-gray li- chened rocks stood out, strikingly ac- cented, against the dark evergreens and huge beds of multi-colored wild flowers which bloomed untouched along the nar- row, dusty road. The whole valley lay slumbering in a gentle languor: early spring's promise had been fulfilled in the ripened maturity of the foliage, and- the drowsy drone of myriad insects only added to the atmosphere of peace lent the landscape by the green of luxuriant foliage and blue haze which nature had draped over the distant mountains. Just as Florence was leaving the town she heard her name called and, turning quickly, saw Ben untying his horse. 'Just a minute, and I'll take you home, he called hitching up the horse. 'lYou must have gotten off early this aft- ernoon. I did, answered Florence happily now the prospect of the long walk home no longer loomed before her. I'll have to stop for just a minute to get my pick-ax. I took it in this morn- ing to have it mended. About ten minutes later they were on their way, not towards home, however. She and Ben had grown up together, and ever since she could remember had been collecting Indian relics, which they kept carefully stored away in a large wooden box in the attic. A great deal of their spare time they spent in the woods looking for more relics to add to their collection. It would be lovely in the woods today and Florence would not be expected at home for some time. So they were on their way to the woods, not home. They talked merrily as they went, en- joying thoroughly the fresh, crisp air, the beauty of nature, and life itself. Ben, dressed to suit the occasion, sat loosely holding the reins and looking past Florence at the beauty of a huge cluster of rudbeckia which stood proudly reaching their golden crowned heads to the sky and swaying gently in the breeze. Perfect content shone on his sun tanned face: his wavy, black hair blew slightly in the breeze: his large, well shaped nose with its high bridge showed a love of danger and excitement: and the firm, rather pointed chin was held proudly upward. Leaving Tony, the horse at the edge of the woods they began their exploring trip. The breeze had died down but, Florence and Ben, intent upon their quest for relics and happy in finding wild flowers, ferns, and birds, did not notice either this or the threatening clouds which were fast gathering over Shepherd's Mountain. Attracted by a mass of scarlet cardinal flowers which grew at the foot of a large lightning-scarred oak, they began to climb down the hill. Before they had gone very far Ben kicked a rock loose and they stood watching as it went bouncing down and stopped suddenly, with a dull echo, at the foot of the old oak tree. That's a mightly hollow sound for just a plain rock, said Ben: 'Alet's inves- tigatef' 'Some discovery! said Ben excitedly after they had stamped around on the large flat slab of rock which lay at the foot of the tree. It must be a cave. If you'll wait a minute I'll get the pick-ax out of the buggy and we'll see. Pretty soon Ben returned with the ax, a coil of rope, a lantern, and a package containing the lunch which Florence had Sixty-seven 0 -'- - -w 9' -I 'br ' V '1' Q sax af , , I .I if ' 'ff tr Ee A Ni fumkki.-Sl,'z .f - 'w- THE CADUCEUS prepared in the morning but had not eaten at noon. I thought these might come in handy, he said, holding up the sandwiches. f'And if that is a cave, we'll certainly need the rest of the things. Oh, Florence, called Ben to her as she was gathering cardinal flowers a short distance away, I'm afraid this cave of ours is rather wet. These pieces of rock seem to strike a pool of water as they hit the bottom. You light the lantern while I tie this rope to it, and we'll lower it and see what's to see. There! All right- down she goes. Florence watched intently as he slowly lowered the lantern. Water is right, he said, There's a little creek right under this hole. But I think if I lower you down I can swing you to one side of it and land you on solid ground. All right, just so you don't land me in the water, was the merry reply. Now hold still till I get this fastened securely around your waist. All ready? Now hold tight and holler 'safe' when you land so I'll know you're all right. Safel came the call after a few min- utes and Ben felt the swing in the air. Finel Be with you in a minute, he called as he quickly fastened one end of the rope around the oak tree and let the rest hang into the hole. Here I come, he said in a few minutes and climbing down the rope, swung back and forth over the creek for an instant, then sprang lightly to her side, catching the rope as it swung back and fastening it securely to a rock projec- tion on the wall. We forgot the lunch! gasped Flor- ence, 'lOh, no we didn't, said Ben teasingly patting his pocket, I should say not: that's the best part of this trip. Florence laughed merrily at this compli- ment, and said, looking to both sides of her, Which way shall we go? rope loosen and Sixty-eight Well, said Ben, since there's a choice let's go the right way. Then pull- ing a light rope out of his pocket, Here, tie this around your waist and give me the other end. We might slip in here if there are many more of these under-ground rivers. Carefully picking their way over the slippery banks of the creek they finally came to another cavern and, glad to leave the damp creek shore, followed the fdryer path into it. It was pitch dark, but the rays of the lantern dimly lighted the walls, revealing brilliantly colored rock forma- tions which glistened like diamonds. The cave did not seem to run along the surface of the earth but went gradually down- ward. The passages separating and resep- arating led into cavern after cavern, some damp and crowded with columns of stalic- tites and stalagmites, others dry and sandy. Ben wisely kept to his right, even though the other caverns looked more in- teresting, for he knew how utterly impos- sible it would be to find their way out if he didn't. After walking in silence for some time, Florence said, What time is it, Ben? I'm getting awfully hungry. So am I. Just a minute and I'll see- well, no wonder: it's almost two o'clock. Let's eat. We haven't found any old Indian villages yet, although -Clong pausej then mysteriously, 'AI see some- thing that looks mighty interesting. What? came the expected answer en- thusiastically. Like to know, wouldn't you? he teased. ' Oh, Ben, come on, tell me. A'No, Impatience, not till you've satis- lied that appetite of yours. Florence knew from experience that Ben, in this humor, was immovable, so she resignedly sat down on a large stone and she and Ben shared the sandwiches, All finished, said Florence jumping up. Now what is the wonderful dis- covery? in . . W -X , 40 THE CADUCEUS Oh, just a piece of rock, he said amusedly watching her face drop. It's not as bad as all that, he hastened to re- assure her. Come on, I'll show you. See that ledge over there? Well that looks like a mighty good place for an Indian to sit on. Carefully they climbed up to the ledge but on close examination found only a few broken pieces of pottery. Well, said Florence, that's that! We'll have to be going now or it will be too late when we get back. Just as they turned to climb down again, Florence happened to look up and following her glance Ben saw on a pro- jecting rock which was just above their heads, some queer cuts and marks. OhI cried Florence excitedly, it's Indian writing! V Can you make it out? said Ben pre- tending calmness. It looks like-have you a piece of pa- per? I'll copy it and we can figure it out when we get home. Carefully Florence traced the signs on the paper and then they climbed down and started homeward. They had no trouble in finding their way back, but they were tired and the slip- pery ground hindered their lagging steps. Was that rumbling they heard ahead only in their imagination or was it one of the under-ground streams echoing through the dark passes like an evil foreboding of coming ill? They talked very little and neither mentioned the sounds they heard, or imagined they heard. Undoubtedly the echoes were growing louder the further they went and when at last they entered the cavern containing the creek over which they had swung a few hours earlier the rumblings and crashings grew so loud that it was impossible for each to hear the other speak. Standing at last beneath the hole which Ben had chopped earlier in the day, they looked at each other in horror. The hole was closed. Not a gleam of light came from above: nothing but the sound of trees crashing and thunder rumbling with such inten- sity that it seemed to shake the very earth. Neither said a word. Ben held the lantern toward the spot where the hole had once been. The storm must have in some way loosened one of the boulders on top of the hill, and in rolling down it had hit the lightning-scarred tree and rolled into the hole, covering it completely. The rope by which they had entered had snapped and now hung loose, one end still securely fastened to the rock and the other swishing to and fro in the swift oil-like current of the stream as it slid quickly past them, silent and undisturbed. Florence grasped Ben's arm impulsively and looked into his face with the trust and sympathy of a sister. Ben looked at her speechlessly for a mo- ment and then, reaching into his pocket, pulled out a slip of paper on which Flor- ence had copied the Indian signs. There must be another entrance to this cave, he said, or those Indians couldn't have been there. Maybe this is a clue. He spread his coat out for her and they both sat down and, trying to drown out the fear at their hearts, looked intently at the little piece of paper on which the signs were written, Y -QQ' --In A-,EIMS Q J 0- IQ:-Aw?-I Ben had studied Indian writing and, although all the tribes wrote differently, he could make out the rude sentence: I have found sun three arrow flights for- ward one foot left water-trail water dia- mond rock right trail arrows heap rocks four arrow flights left. Yes, this was certainly the way out. The sun referred to meant 'daylightf The whole must mean: I have found an en- trance of daylight three arrow flights for- Sixty-nine U U ,g-jw.if ,r 1 P 1 f '-Wins, cw l ?ifz6'S i'.f?.n34lfsii?:aai5l-SX 7 lfl at Nfl THE CADUCEUS ward. Turn one step left at the water. Follow the water to a diamond cut on a rock on the right. Follow arrows to a heap of rocks. The entrance is four ar- row flights to the left. We have to go back, said Ben rising and helping Florence to her feet. Yes, said Florence bravely, it oughtn't to take us very long since we are used to the darkness. Without saying anything more, they retraced their steps and again came to the cavern in which they had discovered the signs and pieces of pottery. Now, said Ben trying to speak cheer- fully, 'AThree arrow flights forward: this way must be forward. We'll be out in no time now. But they were both tired and knew that they might not be going toward another entrance. They could not be sure of the meaning of the signs. So they followed the trail silently, only Ben now and then stopping to be sure of the signs and to try to cheer Florence with a hopeful Word. Here's the water, broke in Ben hold- ing the lantern high and again peering at the paper. 4'One step left-all right. Now follow the water. Well here we go again. They walked and walked but no dia- mond cut in the rock could be found. Are you sure you turned the right way? said Florence anxiously. Positive, replied Ben with a bit more assurance than he felt. Let's go a little further. 'Al-lere it is, he broke in with a sigh of relief. Now let's see-follow the arrows -this must be one of the arrows. We're more than half way out now. Was it the way out? Were they fol- lowing the right trail? They had found the arrows only with trouble. And the heap of rocks-would the heap still be there? It was doubtful, Seventy after so many years. Suddenly the arrows stopped and there were no rocks heaped up either. They were gone! We'd better go back to the last arrow and turn right at the next opening, sug- gested Florence. l'Yes, the rocks must have been there, replied Ben. Soon they came to the next turn and walked wearily ahead, How long those four arrow flights seemed! If only it would really be an entrance. Oh, Florence, we've found it! cried Ben, unable to hold in any longer. lt must be dark outside, but feel that fresh air! Trembling with excitement, she drew in deep breath of the refreshing air and looked up at a tiny opening some distance above them. I knew we'd find it! she breathed overjoyed and relieved. I'll lift you up, said Ben, and then you can tie this rope to a tree and l'll fol- low you, Here's the rope, Ready? Hold tight now. There--put your feet on my shoulders. Fine! After a few minutes Ben was at her side and with one look back at their heaven- sent escape they started down the hill with the rain beating in their faces and the wind wrapping their drenched clothing about them. Florence was tired out and now that relaxation was setting in could hardly go, although she kept up bravely. At last, with Ben helping her over the roughest places, they reached the edge of the Woods, found the impatient and dripping Tony, and started on the long homeward drive. It was nearly half-past nine when they reached F1orence's home drenched to the skin, and oh, how good the hot supper smelt as they were hurried before the blaz- ing fire in the huge hearth!

S- 'A' fl A j THE CADUCEUS I-IOW TO WEAR YOURSELF OUT DOING NOTHING By NELLIE DE BORD T is spring and there's something rg-Q55 I in the air that affects you strange- ly. No, not hay fever-but sprzng l fever. lt's the time of the year when you would much rather stare out of the window across at the park than even pretend to look attentively at the teacher's face, it's the time of the year when your annual failing takes place and you fall in love again for the 'steenth time: it's the time of the year when trees begin to bud and birds begin to sing, tra! lal ln other words, it's somewhere between the last of March and the first of April. After much expenditure of time and energy you Hnally reach home. You un- load your burden of books on the first piece of furniture you meet. You flop into a chair, coat and all. Not until you feel yourself beginning to melt do you shrug off your coat, leave it in the chair, get up, and sit down on the sofa. After twid- dling your thumbs for several minutes, you are aroused from your reverie by your mother's voice asking who you think you are anyway, and telling you to hang up your coat and put your books where they belong. Sensing that she means business, your lap slowly disappears as you pain- fully arise and cross to the closet, where, failing to Hnd a hanger, you furtively dump your coat on the top of the clothes- hamper. Wondering vaguely where they belong, you are just in the act of putting your books on the table behind the door of your bedroom, when Martha .lane runs in, grabs you around the knees just at the ticklish spot, and yells for you not to let Bill get her. Of course you drop your books, and they would fall on Martha Jane's head. Heedless of your ticklish spots, she thinks you are laughing at her, and begins to yell louder than ever. Be- sides trying to get Martha to blow her nose, and wishing the books had fallen on Bill, you make signs to Mary, just arriving upon the scene, indicating that she should pick up your books so you won't flunk in all your subjects. All you get is a funny look. Knowing you are dumb, she won- ders if you are deaf, or just why you are using sign language. Deciding it is time for action, not words, you pick up your geometry book yourself, knowing you will probably flunk in it anyway. This serves as a gentle hint to sister Mary, who fin- ishes the job for you. Rewarding her with one smiles, you pull Martha into the bathroom bump where of your rare and pour Listerine on her the lower left corner of your Twelve Cen- turies landed. For once luck is with you -the Listerine doesn't run into her eyes. After she has stopped crying, you are in- formed that she wants a bandage on her wound. You diplomatically try to explain that adhesive tape, while no doubt it would feel all right while being applied, would cause an awful uproar when the time came for it to be removed. No effect. You try to appease her by telling her you will dump the whole bottle of mercuro- chrome on her dome if she wants. Luck- ily, she is not satisfied with this more than generous opportunity of becoming a red- hot red-head. You decide to teach her a lessong so under her vigilant and approv- ing eyes, you cut a sticky strip of ad- hesive, and paste it to the ba:k of her head. Then, while Martha .lane is still admiring her bandage in the mirror, you very rudely yank it, plus a tuft of blonde hair, from her head. Amidst another outcry, you re- treat, leaving the situation to be handled by Mary, figuring you have done your share of the dirty work this evening. Your poor already over-taxed strength having been further sapped by this slight distraction you recline your weary body once again upon the sofa. As the warm Seventy-one 0 ' . . -N --. ' was U , ,ff-sfavw-, U le - if .if T fe , , H , g, THE CADUCEUS spring breeze blows over you, you are possessed with an overwhelming desire to do a whole lot of nothing, the more the better. But just then the spring breeze is replaced by the teasing aroma of steak, potatoes, cucumbers, and strawberry short- cake. You hastily make an exception to your overwhelming desire. You desire to do nothing except when it comes to eating. After an enjoyable half-hour, you again appear on the scene, licking your chops. Although you feel more like sleeping than studying, being a dutiful student, you de- cide it might as well be now as never. Once again you grab the books and go downstairs to the desk. Of course the first thing to be done is to hunt for a pencil. If you are not ex- hausted when you find it, you sharpen it. Then you look to see whether you have enough white note-book paper. After counting each sheet over three times, you come to the conclusion that fifteen sheets is plenty. You quite brilliantly remember that ink, not pencil, is to be used in trans- lating Chaucer. Pen and ink are right in front of you on the desk. You are lucky. You pick up the pen, test the point on your finger, decide it doesn't hurt bad enough, and begin an almost fruitless search for a new one, After wading through the mess in three of the four draw- ers of the desk, you corner two pen-points in the northeast end of the last drawer. Overcome by such unforeseen luck, you lean back in the swivel chair, and begin to respire freely. All at once your arms go up, and you find yourself in the act of stretching. Your mouth opens wider and wider and you feel yourself yawning. Presently it occurs to you that you have home work to do. While finding the place in Chaucer with one hand, and reaching into the drawer with the other, you make a slight miscalculation as the position of Seventy-two the pen-point, and reach boldly and as- suredly into a box full of pins. You pull about twenty pins from your finger tips and this time succeed in laying your hands on the right thing. Suddenly your head becomes so heavy that you begin to believe that the person who made the sarcastic remarks to you about a certain other person's head being filled with buck shot must have been right. You lean forward with one hand on your chin and describe mysterious signs and symbols on the blotter in front of you. Then you pick up your pencil, put it in your mouth, and make teeth-marks on it to the time of nearby strains of music wafted toward you from a radio in a neighboring apartment. Bang! A door slams and your consci- ousness jolts back to Chaucer. But then you decide it isn't so important anyway, slam it shut, and turn to your French. Wishing to follow implicitly the instruc- tions of your French teacher, you begin very eloquently to read aloud. You have read no more than two sentences when somebody comes to the door and wants to know whether you are tongue-tied, or if you just stutter. You decide your French isn't so important either and go back to Chaucer. Three lines of that are too much. You come to the conclusion that you need exercise, and so you get up and saunter in the direction of the bedroom to see how much time you have killed. You decide that you won't study longer than 9:30 for any teacher. Besides, you are all worn out and your back aches. No sir! You are going to bed and get some rest. While you are gathering up your books and putting away all your tools, you sud- denly become conscience-stricken and promise your better self that you will abso- lutely get up at ive o'clock in the morning and do the rest CU of your homework. fsifwm sv jf' mv' Jgjaegj, 1 glbf jails?

T c oo an t e arnegie nsti- tute, which was to decide the my girls' basketball championship of the city, was scheduled for the fifteenth of February. Shelton had never come in sight of the championship, but this year something had happened to the team that made the other schools think Shelton a dangerous rival. That something was Sally. Thanks to herrplaying, Shelton had lost only one game so far. Shelton, however, had a formidable rival, the Carnegie Institute. The Carne- gies were slightly older girls and were known as a whirlwind team. Sally, who had seen at the beginning of the season that the struggle would be with this team, attended every game they played, for al- though they were weak in team work, she had to admit that some of them were star players individually. Sally noticed a great rival in Marie Lenard, a guard, whose cousin, Joe, went to Shelton. Sally her- self was a forward so she studied Marie's guarding carefully. All the time Sally was thinking mostly of the honor and glory of her school, Marie thought mostly of herself. Before Sally had entered, she was the star of the high school athletic world, now the glory was dimmed by the rising of another. Meanwhile, Marie, confident that she was a good player, wouldn't let herself believe that anyone could excel her until her cousin, Joe Lenard, took her to see a game between Shelton and another school in which Sally starred. Then she began to think that maybe Sally's power had not been over-estimated. When Joe saw her troubled look, he said, You've got to beat her, Marie. I've bet my month's allow- ance on you. After the game, Sally spoke to Joe, Marie, and a few others, as they were waiting for the street car. While they were talking, Tim Maynard, a friend of Sally's, remarked, Well, it looks, Marie, as though you have a stiff rival for the championship game. Sally hastened to assure him that it all depended on her science note-book, because her teacher would not pass her if she dicln't hand it in on time, and in that case she wouldn't be eligible for the game. A shout of laugh- ter greeted this remark. The idea of Sally letting herself be barred from the game on account of a note-book was too funny for words. Joe secretly wished that she wouldn't finish it. Sally worked hard and finished the note-book a whole day ahead of time to make sure of being allowed to play, and then, in celebration, invited a few of the class over to her home for the evening. When the guests arrived, the note-book was enthroned on a small silk cushion on the library table and decorated with a wreath of flowers. Tim Maynard, Joe Lenard, and several other boys and girls from the class were there and they all had a rollicking good time. School spirit ran high, and they practiced songs and yells until the neighbors groaned. Joe joined so heartily in these that no one suspected in the least that his hopes were for the op- posing team. As Tim looked at her note-book, he saw that she had a list of the experiments the class had done, and he asked her if she would mind if he took it home and copied the list, saying that he'd bring it to school in the morning. As the party broke up, someone asked Tim what car he took. HI don't take any, he replied. I take a short cut through the railway tunnel. After the good-nights were said and everyone had left, Sally looked at the clock on the mantle to see what time it was, but Seventy-three 1' H f' r -1. , . 1' . ,fa -.- .

Get the time from the telephone operator and set the clock, said her mother. Sally picked up the receiver. There was a buzzing noise on the wire. Zig-a-zig, zig-zig-zig-a-zig, zig-g-g, zig-g-g. At first she was puzzled but soon she recog- nized it as .Ioe's wireless. He lived across the alley from Sally and she had often worked his wireless. The wires were at- tached to a telegraph pole in Sally's yard and the vibrations were being picked up by the telephone. Sally knew the code the boys used and found that Joe was send- ing messages to Abraham Goldsmith, who also had a wireless. 'iOh, what fun! thought Sally: I'll see if I can decipher the message. She asked the operator to look up a number for her, to keep her off the line, and found a pencil and paper to write the message as she heard it. As she deciphered it, she gasped in as- tonishment. Instead of: i'Hello, Abra- ham-how are you?-how's the weather in your neck of the woods?-what time is it? The words were entirely different. This was what she heard: Maynard go- ing through railway tunnel-get note- book away--keep Sally out of game, She raced out of the house, jumped into her brother's car, which stood outside, and drove as fast as she could in the direc- tion in which Tim had started. Down Jordan Street she flew and along deserted Tenth Avenue. It was bitterly cold rid- ing, but she took no notice. Far ahead in the darkness she could see Tim under a street lamp, approaching the tunnel. Wouldn't the car go any faster? Abra- ham was probably in the tunnel waiting already, She jammed the brakes and jumped out as she reached Tim. What- ever is the matter? he asked, startled, as she came running towards him. The note-book, she said. Joe's try- ing to get it away from you. I-Ie's got Abraham waiting for you in the tunnel to snatch it as you go by. Seventy-four Sally took Tim home in her car and arrived home safely herself, leaving poor Abraham to spend the night in the rail- way tunnel. The championship game was held in the Community gymnasium. The gallery and all available floor space was packed long before the game began. The teams finally came running in and took their places. A hush fell on the crowd. The referee's Whistle sounded. The ball went upl Shelton's center knocked it toward her basket: Sally, darting out from under the basket, caught it, sent it flying back to center: center threw it to the other for- ward. Sally jumped directly in front of Marie- Maynard, received the ball from the other forward, and shot a basket. The roars from Shelton were deafening. Marie bit her lip angrily. She had vowed to keep Shelton from scoring. But Sally had not watched Marie play for nothing. Twice this happenedg three times, four times. Guard her, Mariel shrieked the Car- negies. The score stood eight to nothing in fa- vor of Shelton. There was no hope of keeping them from scoring. The time came when both Sally and Marie had their hands on the ball at once, and this called for a tOSS-up. As the ball rose in the air, Marie struck as if to send it flying to center. Instead of this, her clenched hand, with a heavy ring on the finger, struck Sally full on the nose. It was purely accidental, as everyone could see. Sally staggered back dizzily. I-Ier nose began to bleed furiously, and she was taken from the game. -Since her substitute was no match for Marie, Shelton gave up all hopes unless Sally came back. Marie's eyes met Joe's with a triumphant gleam. The cries from Shelton penetrated to the dressing-room, where Sally lay on a mat. She raised her head. Another cheer rent the air. Sally sat up. There was no one in the dressing-room, for they were all watching the game. She rose to her 'CI L ,. Qgfijipx 2 at-'T'g45CT'?ST fS, ' ., gxg.

Everything began to look black. Carnegie made another bas- ket. Gritting her teeth, she walked stiffly to the door, and grasped it. Someone spied her and started a cheer. She set her teeth Hrmly, stiffened her muscles, and ran out to the floor: and because she looked perfectly well no one tried to stop her. The school cheered deafeningly. It was the last five minutes of the game. The ball went up. Sally played like lightning. She shot the ball into the bas- ket right through Marie's hands. Once! Twice! Shelton was screaming. Twelve to twelve, shouted the score-keeper through his megaphone. Then Sally's luck turned and she could not make any more baskets. She began to feel weak and fumbled the ball more than once. Marie laughed when Sally failed to score on an easy one. The game was drawing to a close. Two minutes to play, called the referee. The ball was under the Carnegie's basket. The Shelton guard received it and passed it on to Sally, who threw for a basket and missed. It fell into Marie's hands. Instead of passing it to a nearby player. she tried to make a grandstand play and threw it the entire length of the gymna- sium to the waiting forward. It fell short and there was a wild scramble. Shelton seized it. One minute to play, called the referee. The girl with the ball lo- cated Sally. The players grouped near her. The gallery leaned forward, tense and silent. The Carnegie forwards ran back to their baskets so that they would be in position to send the ball through when Marie shot it to them. The Shelton guard shot it to the massed group in the center. Sally, with a mighty spring, leaped for the ball and before the crowd knew what had happened sent the ball whirling to the distant basket. It rolled sickeningly around the edge, paused uncertainly, then dropped neatly through. Time's up! yelled the referee. Score: Shelton fourteen, Carnegie twelve. The crowd cheered, tumbled down from the seats, and Sally was again the heroine of the hour. - . JC K c F-'af C 1 1 -f My tf 'f'Z4'. .-K.. .-. e 1.

THE CADUCEUS CHIP By LAURA TOLLE ER real name was Jean Nelson, but nobody ever called her that ex- ,gfl cept our teachers. At Big Web- 'L ' stef, ever since the day of her arrival, the girls had called her Chip - short for chimpanzee. This nickname, un- like most names, we thought, suited her perfectly, for she was undoubtedly the most monkey-faced girl we had ever seen. But in spite of her snub nose, small eyes, and large mouth, she was very good-na- tured and openly did not seem to mind her name, though we suspected she shed many bitter tears over it in secret. She was a small maiden of fifteen years, very fleet and nimble, and certainly everybody's friend. She helped anybody and every- body she could with his lessons or any- thing else. Chip had been at Big Webster for several years but the name 'stayed with her, until one day something happened, and that name was never uttered again. W '43 I Q 483-,I -:EIA On one beautiful holiday in the spring a crowd of us, including Chip, went out into the country near Rockford, to gather berries. As we climbed along the cliff path, we noticed ahead of us two men and a boy, whom we immediately recognized as nest-hunters, The two men were tying a rope around the boy's waist and getting ready to lower him down over the edge of the cliff to gather birds' nests, which were found on the side of the cliff, We watched for awhile. Then, pitying the unfortunate boy, we pushed onward. Fi- nally, our baskets filled with the red juicy berries, we started homeward, laughing and talking as happily as any band of schoolgirls would. But very soon we found ourselves face to face with tragedy. We found the two men kneeling and peer- ing over the edge of the cliff while, below them, the rope dangled loosely. We were Seventy-six horror-stricken. All too suddenly we found out the truth. It seemed that a few minutes before our arrival, the boy had made his last descent for the day. He had been lowered safely until he was a few feet above the small strip of sandy beach below. Then, without warning, a stone from above had fallen down, hit him on the head, and caused him to drop, unconscious, to the sand below. We stood amazed, and then- I-Iurryl Someone must run to Rock- ford station and get help! cried Ruth, one of our senior girls. A'Yes, said the older of the two men, we need help, but it would be an hour's trip to the station and there is only a question of minutes until the tide will reach the boy and drown him. More horror! Each of us stopped to consider what would be best to do. All were silent, wondering. Then, all of a sudden, Chip, this once quiet girl, sprang to the middle of the group, a perfect speci- men of pluck: and with such confidence did she command us, that all of us, men included, fell within her power of com- mand. Dori-Reel Run to the station for help immediatelyf' These, our two best runners, started off at a swift pace. Then, glancing at each of us in turn, she turned swiftly to the men and explained. I don't know that we'll need any help. The rope is too thin for either of you. I am light: it will hold Exe: and so I am going down and get that oy. A cry of amazement and disapproval arose from all of us together. But, after much pleading and persuading, she quietly answered, 'Stand back, you silly kids. It's the only way left, and I mean to do it.

She jumped over to the men and said, Now tie me up. I'll go down and fasten the boy on the rope, signal, and you can pull him up. Now show me how to tie this knot. The older man patiently showed her and then, HPlease be careful, little miss, if you should fall, l'll go over the cliff myself, he said. l'll be careful, Chip assured us again: and now, girls, in case anything hap- pens, you've all been very good to me, and I thank all of you: so, l'm ready. Ciood- bye, girls. If we ever felt ashamed or conscience- stricken, it was now. Here was this girl we called Chip doing all of this, which we admitted afterwards we were afraid to do ourselves. We all managed to make some sort of answer to her, and with tears and throbbing hearts, we watched Chip, our pal, slowly descending. Down, down, past the wide open cut-out place, past the place where the bushes and small trees were projecting out from the side of the cliff, past all these, and finally Chip was one very small person down on that little strip of sand. We saw her stoop and look at the boy, and then rapidly loosen the strap of her waist and tie it around the boy. A wave of her hand showed us that she was ready for the men to pull. Up, up came the body, leaving Chip a little figure, with water now covering her feet, down there alone, patiently watching the boy's body ascending. Closer and closer it came, bumping awkardly against the rocks, crags, and bushes on the cliff. Then it reached the open space, and with a little swifter movement, it came higher and higher until the younger man rushed to the edge and, reaching over, brought the limp form to the top of the cliff. There was the boy, saved by our Chip. We jumped about like mad things, shouting and laughing till we finally stopped for breath. The little figure on the sand be- low heard our cheer, for she waved an ac- knowledging little arm, and another cheer went up. But the tide was rising fast and Chip was down there alone. The men worked rapidly. Taking the rope from around the boy, the older man was about to drop the rope downward, when the younger man pulled it back and pointed to a very weak spot in it. A cry of despair arose. The older man looked at it questioningly and then exclaimed, It's a risk but we'll have to take it. God grant that it will hold! Have any of you girls anything with which we might bind it? Hat-bands, ties, handkerchiefs, and even stockings were offered. The men bound it together the best they could: then each of us watched the older man coil the rope and sling it downward. lt was a good shot, and with little trouble, Chip reached it, tied it around her waist, and gave a warning jerk. Everybody, girls included, with prayers in their hearts, helped to pull the rope upward. Up, up it came, more and more slowly, past the bushes and trees, into the wide open space. Ten more feet to come, five feet, three feet-two feet-then- lt's breaking! the older man screamed, jumpl But Chip had felt the strain on the rope, had guessed, and had acted accordingly. And, like her namesakes, she was quick, for with the one remaining strand of rope she swang up and leaped on to the cliff in the midst of us. Ohl what jumping and cheering as we clustered around and almost overwhelmed little Chip, who simply said, I-low's the poor boy? l'm so glad I was able to save him. Then the boy, who moaned and sighed and showed signs of gaining conscious- ness, was taken up on the man's back and we set off, a very excited group.

With a sigh, Betty droppe upon km' the couch before the large fire- place and gazed dismally into the leaping flames. Darting glints of gold leapt from them, danced upon her hair, and played hide-and-seek with the shadows of her pink gown. In spite of her nineteen years Betty felt very young and lonely as she sat before the fire. 'ATick-tock, tick-tock, mournfully whispered the old clock in the hall. Then, from some distant part of the gloomy house, the chime of another clock was heard. Dismal old place! And I have to stay here all alone while Grandaddy is gone out. And I didn't think Jimmy could be so-so- Helplessly she gazed about the huge room. High shelves of books faded into the dusky shadows of the ceiling: frowning walnut cupboards gazed into space. Again the monotonous ticking of the old hall clock cut the still air. Oh, I can't stay down here! I'll just have to find some place where I won't think of Jimmy. I'm going up to the attic -even if Grandaddy does get angry. Quickly she arose from her place before the fire and ran from the room. Up the steps that wound into the duskiness of the ancient hall she ran until she flnally reached the quiet attic. Fumbling for an old lamp, she lit it and set it upon an old walnut table, its surface scratched and dented with long use. Then Betty stared about the old attic. Only once before had she ever entered its sacred walls, and then she had been se- verely reprimanded by her grandfather. The precious treasures of her grandmother long dead were cherished and stored in this dusty, cobwebby place. Dim windows I .- , TV Nj blinked solemnly in the lamp-light: dusky shadows danced upon the walls for the first time in many years. The ancient quiet and peace of the old place seemed to settle upon Betty. Softly she lifted one of the old trunk lids and peeked into it. Then she opened it to the flickering light. A faint odor of lavender drifted out and clung to the air. With slightly trembling hands Betty lifted the folds of sheer linen and gazed surprised at an array of silks and colors more fascinat- ing than she had ever seen before. Folded neatly on top lay a pale yellow dress, and beneath was a dainty pink one. Tenderly she shook out the folds of filmy cloth. Again she peered into the box. There were rows and rows of fine laces. And all of these belonged to my grandmother, softly whispered Betty to herself. Jimmy and her quarrel were for the moment forgotten. Nervously the girl put on a quaint gown of cream satin. The great full skirt was shirred into dainty half circles, caught at each curve with tiny clustersof pink and blue roses. Scattered over the dress were sparkling crystals like a million dew drops. In it Betty looked like some little lady of the past who had just stepped down from an old gilt frame. Seating herself upon the floor, she brought out more of the trea- sures: a quaint box of old-fashioned trinkets, gold rings, jeweled ear gems, and ropes of beautiful beads. There were green beads, amber, pink, all kinds, but the most beautiful were a strand of pearls, which glowed like opals in the lamp- light. Finally Betty brought out a little velvet book. Hesitantly she held it, then opened it. Upon the fly-page was written: The Diary of Betty Staunton The covers that infold and cherish her treasures.

June 19, 1867 This evening I went to Alma's ball in honor of her cousin Maria who has just come from Louisville. It was beautiful early this evening. The breeze was softly blowing through the trees and the air was heavy with the perfume of honey-suckle, roses, and magnolias. I thought I was happy-I was, but now ..... there are clouds in the sky and I am broken- hearted. Bruce had called for me early this eve- ning and as we walked down the garden path he put his arm around my waist. We both looked at the moon that smiled on us . . . and Bruce told me he loved me. Then we arrived at the ball. Soon Maria entered. She .... was beautiful. She has black hair, and ivory skin and she wore a gorgeous dress of crimson. Bruce saw her beauty too, and she saw how handsome he was. After that I guess I didn't count. He danced only one dance with me .... I went off to a corner in the garden and cried. Then he took us both to supper. I couldn't eat. He talked almost all of the time to her and that night he brought me home before he took her home. And he didn't kiss me good-night either. It is terrible. And I thought I loved him, but I don't. June 20, 1867 Bruce hasn't come to apologize yet. I thought he would and I was going to be very cold to him until I felt that he was thoroughly sorry. I was going to forgive him after a while, because all men make mistakes and Maria was beautiful. But he hasn't come and I'll never speak to him again. And he told me that he thought I was the most wonderful girl in the world. June 21, 1867 I saw Bruce out riding with that ter- rible woman. I've cried all afternoon, and Eighty my nose and eyes are horribly red. But I did think I loved him. I see my mistake now. June 22, 1867 I feel terrible today. I have been in bed and the doctor says I must be absolutely quiet. No word from Bruce yet. June 29, 1867 I have been too ill to write much in this little book. Today Gladys came up and said that Bruce wanted to see me ..... I wouldn't let him come up. I never want to see him again. I am feeling rather fe- verish and Gladys threatens to send for the doctor if I don't stop crying. August 2, 1867 I have been sick a month, so they tell me. All I know is that I don't feel like going on any more. I guess I loved Bruce after all .... and Gladys said today that he went to sea a month ago. She said that he was angry with me for not letting him explain himself. I guess I was too hasty. I .... wish I could let him come back and tell me all about it, but I guess it's too late. September 1,1867 No word from Bruce. No one knows where he is. I just heard that Maria mar- ried a man from the East. Oh, why doesn't Bruce come back? January 31, 1868 Oh, I am happy once more. Today I received a package from China. I don't know what is in it because on the outside were written the words: Do not open until February 14. But by the hand- writing I know it's from Bruce. February 10, 1868 I was shaking the package today but it sounds as if it were empty. Only four more days. Oh-Bruce, if it's only from you! I looked at his picture today. I wonder if he has changed? I wonder if he still has such jolly blue eyes and wavy black hair? A Av 4.

I wrote him a lit- tle note this evening and told him that I was waiting for him to come back. April 4, 1868 I have almost given up hope. I have never received any answer to my note. I wonder if Bruce did send the valentine . . . there was no name signed. Maybe he just laughed when he read the note. I'm heart- sick. And I realize now what I have lost.

UCEUS June 15, 1868 Today We were married. Bruce and I stood under a bower of roses and then I knew that I would never, never doubt him again. He is so sweet and hardly ever takes his eyes from me. But there are a few sil- ver streaks in his hair .... and I know that I was the cause of them, and he tells me that my eyes don't always laugh as they used to. Perhaps our little quarrel hurt both of us more than we realized. But I've got Bruce back and I'm going to keep him. ak 4: :nf x The Betty of today looked up from the little diary. Tears shone in her blue eyes. Then she turned and saw her grandfather standing in the doorway, staring at her. Why, Grandaddy, what's wrong? You look as if you had seen a ghost.

Starved Rock and its adjacent ter- ritory became known to history through the explorations of Joliet and Father Mar- quette in 1673. In 1761 La Salle and Tonti laid the foundations of a new French empire and erected Fort St. Louis at Starved Rock, which was abandoned by the French after the murder of La Salle. A few years later the events took place which gave Starved Rock its name. Pontiac, chief of the Pottawatomies, was dead by the hand of the Illini Indians. We must have revenge! Revenge! fiercely shouted the young warriors. The head men held a council and decided that the Illini tribe must be punished. Meanwhile, in the camp of the Illini, Tah-wah-ho-to, the chief's son, was tak- ing leave of his sweetheart, Katequa, for he was to be gone all day in search of the main buffalo herd. Tah-wah-ho-to did not return that night. It is true he had gone quite a distance from camp, but he really should have come back by this time. Chief Three Bears began to be anx- ious, for it was his favorite who was miss- ing. A score of miles away lay the camp of the war party. Sitka, the leader of the Pottawatomies, was sitting by the great central fire with his scouts, his old wrin- kled face not pleasant to see as he medi- tated on what course to pursue. Tah-wah- ho-to had just been dragged into camp. Should he be forced to lead them to the Illini village? Sitka looked at the young man lying before him with hands and feet bound, He possessed a lithe, strong body and his face, though youthful, had a look of stern determination suggesting latent forces to be commanded at will. It might be wisest to try persuasion. Eighty-two Sitka motioned to the scouts to untie the cords that held the young prisoner, but to guard him well. Tah-wah-ho-to was stiff from lying around so long in one position as he had since his capture early the morning before. Fear was in his heart, and his mind was struggling to dis- cover the cause of his capture. These men must certainly be his ememies. Outwardly he showed no sign of his perplexity. Ris- ing slowly, he yawned and stretched him- self with an air of bravado and then, seat- ing himself across from Sitka he gazed im- passively at the fire. He showed no signs of fear: rather he had the air of a son re- spectfully waiting for his father to speak. Using the sign language, known to all the tribes, Sitka talked persuasively to Tah-wah-ho-to. At last Sitka asked if he preferred to guide them to the Illini vil- lage willingly or if it would take force to persuade him to do so. Showing no sign of his astonishment, Tah-wah-ho-to asked if he would be given time to con- sider the question. He was told that an answer rnust be given by midnight. Tah- wah-ho-to sat thinking. What course should he pursue? If he guided the Pot- tawatomies wrong, Katequa would be spared, at least. He was perfectly sure that there were guards on either side of him and knew that he could not escape then. Meanwhile, in the camp of the Illini, Three Bears asked where Tah-wah-ho-to was. No one could answer his question. At length he sent for Katequa. Perhaps she would know. Katequa came hurriedly in, and, when asked where her lover was, replied that she had seen him leave camp early in the morning and that he surely should be back by this time. Early in the morning Tah-wah-ho-to led the Pottawatomies toward the camp of the Illini Indians. He made no false V f wwf me Ida rf Qld? QWNW 44'wkVQylUk 'N ' 0 ' ' . w uf- , 'll will U ...Q '7' , . THE CADUCEUS moves, for he knew that he was closely watched, but quite naturally and easily led the enemy to the place where the Illini village had formerly stood. Now for some reason the Illini Indians had gone, leaving the remains of their camp in full view. Sitka was puzzled. How had these slow-witted southern people got wind of their coming? That only Tah- wah-ho-to knew and the proof had been taken away when Katequa found the arrow he had shot. When he had become aware that an enemy was approaching he had shot an arrow in such a way that it was sticking in the grave of Katequa's father which she visited every day. Since an arrow is the Indian's symbol of war, Katequa had correctly interpreted the meaning of the warning and had hurried to warn the village. As quickly and si- lently as possible the camp had broken up and apparently melted away, leaving only the ashes of their camp-fires. Now as the war party viewed the remains of the many camp-fires it seemed impossible for so large a camp to have moved on such short notice. While Sitka was deciding what plan to pursue, a slight cloud of dust was seen in the distance. The war party of the Illini was approaching. There was no time to waste: quickly assigning leaders, Sitka di- vided his party into three groups, which set out to meet the approaching party. Tah-wah-ho-to was left in charge of three warriors who were grumbling at the un- welcome charge thrust upon them when they might have been gathering scalp- locks. All three were interestedly watch- ing the conflict. Even Tah-wah-ho-to, in the midst of the guard, forgot for a mo- ment that he was a prisoner in the excite- ment of watching the spectacle. Then suddenly he was recalled to himself and, looking hurriedly around, saw that his captors were, for the moment, completely engrossed in the sight before them. Seiz- ing his one chance of escape, he dashed away from his guards into the midst of the iight and was lost amid the general struggle. As soon as Tah-wah-ho-to saw that his party would be defeated, he gal- loped away and warned the Illini village to move still farther south. One war party after another was sent to ight the Pottawatomies and, as each was defeated, the camp of the Illini Indians was moved farther and farther southward. Tah-wah-ho-to was now in charge, for his father and all of his older brothers had been killed. Soon the whole camp would have to fly in the face of the enemy if something was not done. Tah-wah- ho-to sent the last war party out, while he himself led the remnants of the once powerful Illini tribe to the last strong- hold, a great rock in the middle of the Illinois river covering seven acres. When they reached the rock only about twenty- Hve braves and a few women and children were left. The rock, which was covered with veg- etation, had only one steep narrow path leading up to its summit. This path could be held by one Indian and thus even such a tiny band was able to defend the huge rock. Whenever one of the Potta- watomie braves tried to ascend the rock an Illini drove his tomahawk into his head, and down the venturesome brave would fall into the placidly flowing water that tells no tales. On this rock the Illini Indians stayed. Soon their scanty supply of food was gone and they lived on roots and berries. But after a while these, too, were gone and then one by one the weaker ones died off. First the children perished and then all of the women except the youngest, Katequa, who did all the tedious tasks of the men that they might defend the rock longer. At last, however, Katequa and Tah-wah-ho-to were all that were left of the vast Illini tribe. They crawled into a cave at the end of the path and waited until starvation should claim them as it had the others. They had eaten the last root and now could do nothing but wait. Eighty-three : J.

Tah-wah-ho-to's hand gripped the handle of his toma- hawk, but there was no strength in his grip, and it took all his force to move it. Finally, inch by inch, he managed to raise the tomahawk and prepared to strike. His eyes were blurring and already had a glassy look. Slowly, indescribably slowly, he raised his hand until the tomahawk was poised above the unsuspecting Pot- tawatomie's head-then his arm swiftly and automatically fell and the Pottawa- tomie plunged head first from the ledge carrying with him the tomahawk, which was deeply imbedded in his skull. But Tah-wah-ho-to also sank to his knees and then fell over on his back next to Katequa. His spirit had started for the happy hunt- ing grounds to meet hers. Eighty-four A If .

You remem- ber?-the one by Marshall. Oh, yes, I didn't forgetln Allow me to congratulate you, Moth- er-you're improving, was Charles' quick response. His mother smiled even as she shook her head at him, and continued, i'But the book was not in stock. You'll get it in a week. I hope that's all right. Charles groaned, Oh, these bookstores -a week?-Oh, yes, I suppose it'll be all right, Jane, who had been impatiently wait- ing, asked, But Mother, you haven't said a thing about my dress goods. Didn't you get it? 'lMy goodness, child, don't be so im- patient. I have some samples. I didn't know which you would like. I'll show them to you after dinner. Since you haven't the material, I'll try to compose myself till then, said Jane, smiling at her mother. Say, you people, do you have Mother doing everything for you? Mr. Ewert asked. I think you are both old enough to do your own shopping. How about it? a sweet smile and a sense of humor, seated opposite. With them were Well, Dad, I guess we are-but, you know, Mother's such a peach to help me out in the middle of the week, Charles returned, while Jane with an inquiring glance at her mother said, l'll wager you had Mother do something for you today also. Now, didn't you, Dad? Mr. Ewert grinned sheepishly, It slipped my mind completely! I did ask Mother to go over to the bank for me. You kids have me there, all right. Dinner soon ended, and a little while later, the family assembled in the living room. Jane had not forgotten the sam- ples, and soon asked for them. They're in my purse, Jane, said her mother. i'You'll find it in my coat pocket. All right, called Jane, already half way to her mother's room. She was soon back, however, and an- nounced, You must have made. a mis- take: there's no purse in your pocket, Mother. Nonsense, I always carry it there, and I know I didn't take it out when I got home. Well, then, I wish you'd come and take a look, Jane returned. Mrs. Ewert arose hurriedly and left the room with a worried expression on her face. Oh, dear, she said to. Jane, if I have lost it-and it has so many things in it, too--the receipt for Charles' book, your samples, and then I got the ring from the safe-deposit box just today. I also had Dad's papers in it. Well, maybe this will teach us all a lesson, replied Jane, but first let's be sure it is lost. Oh, I'm sure it is, Mrs. Ewert cried, I always carry my purse in that pocket and I know I didn't take it out. Still- let's look. Jane once more inspected the coat while Mrs. Ewert frantically upset the contents of her bureau drawers in her haste to find Eighty-five L7 rv' J '- F' bf. Jiffvf . . ,... . E- l l at if Hal THE CADUCEUS the purse. They were both greatly ex- cited because of all the articles which the purse had contained. Jane knew her mother had gotten the ring from the bank so that she could present it to her on her twenty-first birthday, according to a fam- ily tradition. Just then Mr. Ewert and Charles came into the room to offer their aid in the search, but since Mrs. Ewert was so posi- tive she had not removed the purse from her pocket, they had little hope of success. At last they were all forced to admit that the purse and the diamond were missing. Mr. Ewert, who was worried over his papers, which he needed to close a deal with his manufacturer, then began to ques- tion his wife. When do you remember having last had your purse? At that glove sale, I know. There was quite a large crowd. I had my purse out when I paid for my gloves and I dis- tinctly remember putting it in my pocket. Didn't you need to use it again when you boarded the street car? A'No, because I didn't. I met Mrs. Blake, and she offered to drive me home, so I didn't need my purse again. 'AThen you must have dropped it in the crowd, or-a picketpocket, was Mr. Ewert's conclusion. Oh, I hadn't thought of that, said Mrs. Ewert, Do you really think so? Well, of course, I don't know. But such things can happen, you know. The family lapsed into silence for a few minutes-then with a sigh Mrs. Ewert said, I suppose we'l1 have to wait-no one will telephone tonight. And I think there is little hope even in that, for I'm afraid it was a pickpocket-and the ring- I'll never see it again. Oh, dear, oh, dear! 'iYes and my papers, came from Mr. Ewert. There, mother, said Jane, try not to think of it. Oh, gee, someone may 'phone even to- night or in the morning. Try to forget Eighty-six ' about it. At any rate, don't worry, Charles tried to comfort his mother. Oh, I know, Charles, she said, Hbut they may not and the ring-- Perhaps you'd better go to bed, Mr. Ewert said. Then with a sad attempt at humor, 'Alt makes morning come quicker. But I do wish I had those papers- they're very important. And my wonderful ring, said Jane sorrowfully. A'The succession from mother to daughter will be broken, after one hun- dred and fifty years. Aw, Jane, forget about the old ring, broke in Charles quite irreverently. Now, how do you suppose I'll get my book, I ask you? Stop arguing, you two, said Mr. Ewert. I think after this we'd better do things for ourselves-now Mother feels responsible for all of our losses. At any rate, it's high time we relaxed our nerves by going to bed. Nevertheless, the nerves of none of the Ewerts were relaxed that night, for each one was worried over his personal loss and over the loss as a whole. They passed a very restless night, and their conversation the iirst thing in the morning was about the vanished purse, At breakfast Mr. Ewert again empha- sized the fact that they should not expect Mrs. Ewert to attend to the business of everyone in the family. Mrs. Ewert answered, Oh, I don't mind it all-it's really no trouble. Well, just the same, replied Jane, I'm not going to ask you to do so many things for me in the future. That's the spirit, Sister, and I'm with you, cried Charles. Well, I'll join the chorus, Mr. Ewert said, and- Just then the telephone rang and Jane answered it. Hello-yes-yes-just a minute. Hold the line, please. Then, excitedly, Jane turned to the waiting family.

Well, now, isn't that the strangest thing? Yes. Well, thank you so much. No, I'm in no hurry for it. Thank you.

A tall willow leaned out over the bank and cast a dim shadow into the lap- ping water. From the slough in the rear there came the shrill croaking of frogs crying warnings of rain, and around me buzzed and hummed thousands of mos- quitoes. From some distant tree came the lonely cry of a night bird. Across the water a faint campiire Hickered: some be- lated traveler or camper, perhaps. Then over the bend up the river a round yellow moon began to appear, and seemed to summon fantastic shapes along the shore: a half-submerged log rolled gently beneath the bank. Suddenly a long wail drifted from up the river. My heart stood still. Again it came: Maa-ar-k twaaa-iinnl Yehhh- hooooY And then a low, white freight boat churned around the distant bend. Standing in the front was a small dark Hgure with a long pole, He was poling the boat over a bar to another channel. And in the moonlight he looked like some mystic shepherd of the river, After the white steamer had passed down the river I stood for some time upon the bank. The frogs had ceased to croak: even the mosquitoes hummed less loudly.

MOON DREAMS By SELMA SEXTON When the lights are out and the fire is low, The moon peeps in through my window. It casts a shadow on the wall, My bureau seems so very tall, And the doll that's sitting on it there Looks down upon a teddy bear And winks her eye, the little flirt, And smooths the moonbeams on her skirt. The old moon's covered by a cloud That wraps around him like a shroud. I then awake: there is no sound, No teddy bear or doll is found. With shining moonbeams they have gone, Again in dreams I wander on. HI if Ninety-one . 'H T?

In this issue of CADUCEUS we have endeavored to stress that romantic aspect. Poems have been written to emphasize the beauty of the river: a narrative of the naming of the river satisfies the curiosity some perhaps have had regarding its name: an account of a boat race between the Robert E. Lee and the Natchez shows us that there was formerly more than just business competition on the river: and a story brings before us the deep affection which people used to have for the river and the interest with which they watched life upon its surface. After reading this issue of CADUCEUS it is hoped that we may think of the river in another way besides just as the means :by which a great deal of commerce is car- ried on. Summer is coming: perhaps a number of us will spend many happy days on the river, thinking of the thrilling ad- ventures which occurred years ago. FOR A RAINY DAY matter what bad-luck happens gn to come' to you: no matter how hard it IS to take, remember that 'R' after all there's bound to be a time when your troubles will lessen: and where before you wept, then you'll laugh. If only we could all remember that we must make the best of any situation in which we are placed! Of course it hurts when you're disap- pointed in what you think is really owed you, but don't be selfish: think of the lv I '!F-.al One Hundred Six other fellow. It doesn't make him any happier to have you go around with a long face saying unpleasant things and being ill-natured, and it certainly doesn't help your own troubles, to keep remembering the fact that you're unhappy. lt's hard, to be sure, to smile over something that's making you feel blue, but after all it's the best way to show your courage. Although this is hard to do, don't let misfortune de- feat you: laugh at it and try to do better next time, for therelll always be a Hnext time, you know, until the final victory. ig! .g ivlll Q fs- , O I T .

The Strenuous Life-June, 1928, Roosevelt High School, Seattle, Washing- ton. ff . 3 A very interesting annual, Well worked- out and very concise. Some clever humor- ous work, but is mostly a record of the classes, clubs, and teams of the school. No poetry nor stories, but the pictures of both seniors and members of the teams are very good. Dramatics are emphasized. The Magazine of the Napier Girls' High School--Sept. 19 2 7-Nov. 19 28, Napier, Australia. This magazine is practically a record book of events. There are few clubs, of which the dramatic seems to be most im- portant, The Write-up of the forms are usually very Witty and interesting. The most noticeable thing is the lack of pic- tures. There are a number of interesting poems, and some short sketches, many of which are Written by the girls in the Junior School. On the Whole, it could be much improved by the addition of pictures. The Eagle-Robert Lindblow High School, Chicago, Illinois. We have received word from The Eagle that they are sending us a copy of their June, 1929, issue. We shall be very glad to comment on it in our next issue. The Viking-June, 1928, North Dallas High School, Dallas, Texas. The Viking is a most unusual annual in view of the fact that most of the art work is in keeping with the title of the book, and the element on which the ancient Vikings spent much of their time. The C. M. T, C. is an important factor in school life and receives much emphasis in the annual. lt does not, however, publish any litera- ture or poetry at all: it denotes most of the space to sports and clubs. The joke department of the annual, called The CroW's Nest is especially good. 4 , 1 1141 :Qi W '. .Rena Sergel. One Hundred Seven K1 .. its 2? H .QU ' L THE CADUCEUS THE BEAUMONT MOTHERS' CLUB By MARsHA1.L CAVENAH ..,1-Q I. HE Beaumont Mothers' Club, originally consisting of fifty-six lwi5 x' members has ra idlv rown to an IY:-of - '- P ' g I organization of 431 members, and its oiicers hope to increase its ranks to 600 within the next twelve months. The club was organized in 1924 for the purpose of acquainting the mothers of the students with the problems that face both the teachers and pupils. It was soon evident that the organization was accomplishing its original plan and it began to widen its scope with educational and social activi- ties. Although the club does not intrude into the academic side of school routine, never- theless it cooperates with the faculty in every possible way. Many times the need arises for something which would benefit the students but which cannot be provided by the Board of Education. In such cases the Mothers' Club lends aid. In order to stimulate interest in the meetings and in the work of the club fre- quently some one, who, by experience or study can give information of interest to the members, is asked to make an address. That these addresses are interesting is dem- onstrated by the fact that over 300 women attend regularly. Another interesting fea- ture of the meeting is this year is the ex- cellent music Which has been furnished by many accomplished artists of St. Louis. The officers are as follows: President .,,.,.,....... Mrs. Blanche E. Weeke Vice President i....... Mrs. G. H. Marquardt Secretary ...i..,........... Mrs. J. A. McCarthy Treasurer ...,.................. Mrs. O. Vwfieghard BEAUMONT PATRONS' ASSOCIATION By H. H. O RECOUNT the activities and purposes of this association in CADUCEUS IS a privilege and f I honor appreciated by the Patrons' Association, for which we are greatly indebted to the entire faculty and student body. During the term coming to a close we have been addressed by men whose lives and interests have been devoted to St. Louis and particularly to its schools. In January, Judge M. Hartman installed the oflicers of the association and in his address re- lated his experiences in connection with school work in St. Louis. The February meeting was addressed by Mr. Fred J. Hoffmeister, president of the Carondelet Business Men's Association, his subject be- ing Contemplated Missouri Legislation. Mr. Henry J. Gerling, assistant superin- tendent of schools, was the speaker for February, Vocational Aspects of Educa- One Hundred Eight DRosTE tionn being the topic under discussion. For the March meeting, Mr. Edwin C. Luedde addressed us on Schooling Per- sonality, and this was followed in April by Mr. Forrest C. Donnell, who spoke on 'iSchools in Missouri. From time to time, Mr. Wilbur N. Fuller, principal, in his dis- cussion of The Teacher's Problem-Old Age, gave us many interesting and im- portant viewpoints in connection with this subject. In addition to these instructive addresses, we were also pleasantly enter- tained with musical numbers at each meet- ing through the courtesy of Mr. E. G. Stamm, instructor of music.

TRACK SQUAD ID- I c I 1 TRACK By WILLIAM HEIDEMAN OACHES LEWIS and Pager sent Qgffgl out a call for track candidates dur- ing the early part of March and, A 'ff' in spite of the cold weather and winds, about one hundred and fifty new men and eighteen of last year's lettermen responded to this summons. The coaches, aided by Wilbur Leber, began to select the most promising material and organized them into their respective groups. After this was completed, the team elected the captains. The honor of being squad cap- tain fell to Leber, who ably fills that posi- tion. Oliver Duggins was elected junior captain, and Carl Hoffman pilots the midgets. The team won second place last year, beating Soldan, Cleveland, and Central. The midgets won the championship in their division, making more points than all the other four schools combined. But Coach Lewis expects better results from this year's team since it is the most promis- ing one that Beaumont has ever had. The seniors have beaten Kirkwood and Central but have dropped a meet to Roosevelt. The juniors have broken even by defeating Kirkwood and Central and by losing to Soldan and Roosevelt. The midgets have chalked up three victories and no defeats, taking Central, Soldan, and Roosevelt. In order to make known with the most promising track candidates, the following is a list of them and the events in which they are entered: SENIORS Captain Leber, letterman: 440, 100, and relay. Nickles, letterman: 100, 220, 220 low hurdles, and pole vault. Brandt, letterman: 100, 220, 440, and relay. Gerst, letterman: 100, 220, relay and broad jump. Heideman, letterman: 220, 440, and re- lay. Brunk, letterman: 880. Weidner, letterman: 800 and the high jump. Lone, letterman: High and low hurdles.

The team displayed their old 1928 championship form and the game was fea- tured by the timely hitting and stellar iielding of the entire squad. This display of talent was topped off by the mid-sea- son pitching forrn of Bill Slater, last year's leading hurler, who held the Cen- tralites to six hits. Probst and Holtman, both lettermen of the 1928 team, did some real batting: the former getting a good triple while the latter came through with a home run and two clean singles. Weber and Johnny Guhman, two new- comers, also wielded wicked willows. Weber especially drew attention when he hit to left for a double with the bases loaded. He also walloped a terrific drive, which sailed over the left fielder's head for a home run. Weidner, Carr, and Schaberg performed well in the field and will im- prove as the season advances. The new keystone combination, Probst at short- stop and Drew at second, showed they could take care of these positions by com- pleting two fast double plays. Reserve material forms the backbone of a winning ball team, and Beaumont is ably supplied with good prospects in this department. Kalbitz, Hauck, Heckenberg, Klein, Walsh, and Lang are the utility men. Bob Kalbitz, a big portsider, is ready to take the mound in case 'ABill Slater's arm fails. Hauck, an outfielder, is sure to get a chance to play in the garden. Klein and Walsh are reserve innelders, while Lang is capable of pitching and of playing either first or the outfield. Besides these reserve players, there are about ten men who have good chances to make Beau- mont's 1930 team. The team will be out to capture the championship again, and hopes for as good support from the stu- dent body as was given in 1928. TRACK romp Pieper: High jump. Willson: Pole vault. Gondalfo, letterman: Pole vault, and shot put. Kantner: Hurdles, 440, and broad jump. Selejan: High jump, and pole vault. Kalbitz: 100, 220, and relay, Finazzoa Broad jump. Schumacher and Powell: 50 and 100 yard dashes. Hobbs: Hurdles. Kay: 440 and 880, MIDGETS Captain Hoffmann: Hurdles, high and broad jump, shot put, 50 yard dash, and relay.

Davis: Hurdles, high jump, relay, shot put, and broad jump. Burroughs: Shot put. Morris: Broad jump, Mueny: Hurdles. Moore: Dashes. One Hundred Thirteen BASKETBALL SQUAD Q C U 2 , bfi? 1 U 3, M as-1 H THE CADUCEUS BASKETBALL By OTTo SCHWANDT X, NOTHER basketball season has 'lgfmx d f B - vii, N passe or eaumont, a most suc cessful one. The first game of the season was with McBride, whom Beaumont defeated by a score of l7 to 15, McBride later won the District Tour- nament and the championship of their league. In the next game, with Kirkwood, an early season favorite of the county league, Beaumont romped over their op- ponents by a 27 to 21 score. St. Louis U. High was the team's next opponent, which also boasted of a strong five, but Beau- mont turned them back 16 to 13. In this game Carl Weidner, our center, injured his knee and was out of play for the next two weeks. Yet team spirit prevailed, and we refused to give up. We proved this by walloping Webster 27 to 21 in our next contest. These four victories gave Beau- mont a clean slate for the opening of the Public High School schedule and therefore Beaumont was termed the dark horse of the league. In the first game Beaumont was carded to meet Central. The winning pace was continued, and Beaumont won 23 to 15. Our next opponents were the powerful Roosevelt combination. This game was a real thriller throughout, for the score was close at all times and at the end of the half Beaumont trailed by a score of ll to 8, The third quarter was even, both teams counting five points. In the last period Beaumont rallied, only to fall short by a very small margin. Roosevelt won 28 to 26, and Beaumont was handed its first defeat of the season. But this did not dishearten the team, for they came back the next week to trim Cleveland 20 to 19 in another thrilling game. Krueger, play- ing his last game for Beaumont because of having to leave for New York, led the team by scoring eleven of our twenty points. His absence, with that of Red Brown, who graduated in January, left Beaumont temporarily without good for- wards, until the return to school of 'fSwede Peterson and Irish Walsh, who had attended Beaumont before. Since they were returning at this opportune time, all were anxious to see them play. Both made their debut in the next game with Maplewood, county league cham- pions, when Beaumont eased through to a I7 to 15 victory, gaining a ten-point lead in the first half. The next game was to be a test for Beaumont, for Soldan was to oppose us. Soldan was considered a possible title- winner and therefore was favored to win. The game was very close during the first half, with Beaumont leading ll to 7. But in the second half our team weakened and Soldan completely out-played them. The result was a 37 to l5 lacing by Sol- dan. In the following game that same week the team lost to C. B. C. by a 19 to ll score. Before the second round of play, Beau- mont had two weeks in which to recu- perate from the two defeats. This rest seemed to help them somewhat, as they again defeated Central 14 to 12. In the next contest Beaumont had two objects in view: to revenge a two-point defeat by this team earlier in the season, and to gain the one victory which would enable us to remain in the flag race. We accom- plished both by beating Roosevelt 21 to 20 in probably the most exciting game of our season. Captain Weidner, whom the team counted on as a scoring punch, seemed to have fully recovered from the injury that had handicapped him in pre- vious games, and counted ten points. This seemed to put the team again on their toes, for they added another victim to their string in the next encounter by wal- loping Cleveland 29 to 22. This left only One Hundred Fifteen 0 ' X ,V , .

If Beaumont could win, we should tie for first place: and if Soldan won, it would give them a clear claim to the title. Each team was trained to the limit, as was proved by the closeness of the score, Sol- dan had to fight very hard to keep Beau- mont down, and the game was either team's until the last minute of play. The final score was Soldan 24, Beaumont 18, giving Soldan the High School league championship. With the league schedule over, Beau- mont looked forward to the District Tournament. Last season Beaumont won this tournament and represented St. Louis district in the state meet at Columbia, Missouri. Therefore we were the defend- ing champions this year. Beaumont met and defeated Country Day in the first game. Two extra periods were required, but the team finally won 24 to 20. In the second round our team was eliminated from fur- ther competition by C. B. C. V They de- feated us 25 to 21, after our team had suffered many bad breaks. This game ended the season for Beaumont, giving us a record of eleven games won and five lost for a percentage of .781. Several players are to receive letters for their services. They will most likely be Captain Weid- ner, Arthur Holtman, Tad Close, Mike Barnhouse, Burdette Peterson, Herbert Krueger, Erwin Brown, and Otto Schwandt, Several of these players, in- cluding Close, Peterson, and Schwandt, will be back next season. These three, along with Walsh, Engleken, Gerst, One Hundred Sixteen Barnard, Henderson, McLeod, and Kal- bitz make the prospects very bright. The men who did not make the first team were divided into groups according to their age, height, and weight, The sec- ond team, consisting of Walsh, Peterson, Engleken, Barnard, and others, which had the most successful record of any team in the school, won nine games without a setback, scoring 254 points to their oppo- nents' 129. Next came the A team with such players as Dowley, Achuff, and Elliot as leaders. They had a record of three games won and two lost, scoring 108 points to their opponents' 72. The B team went through last season without a defeat, but this year they won seven and lost one. The lone defeat came at the hands of Principia, 20 to 19. This leaves the team with only one defeat in two years. The nucleus of this team was Bar- nard, McLeod, and Ciuhman. The C team came the closest of any Beaumont team to losing more games than they won. Their record was four games won and four lost, The D team and the basketball-foot- ball teams had two and one victories re- spectively without a setback, giving them both a fine record. Including all Beaumont teams, the rec- ord is thirty-six games won and twelve lost, or a percentage of .750. Our teams scored 1096 points to their opponents' 706. Thus, from a percentage stand- point, there is no doubt that this has been about the most successful basketball sea- son in the history of Beaumont. 45. -'iz 'J , i 'L 2 k w i ,QW if X Z 1 ,. .1.A i ,. ,.

Is it swimming, dancing, baseball, volley-ball or work on the apparatus such as the ladders, poles, etc.? No matter what sport it is, you can partake of it as the Girls' Athletic Association includes all. The G. A. A. is by far the largest organization in the school, having an approximate membership of about 500 girls. It is one of the few clubs at Beaumont in which there is no distinction made between lower-term girls and upper-term girls. In fact, it is really a great sisterhood of girls under the sponsorship of Miss McQuiston. President Jane Beresford Vice-President Mildred Koetter Secretary Pauline Bracky Treasurer Elizabeth Houston Student Council Representative Irene O'Neill CADUCEUS Correspondent Brenda Richard The members appointed as directors are: First year, Henrietta Horst: second year, Dorothy Bendorf: third year, Elizabeth Murphy, fourth year, Georgetta Blettner. These directors help to stimulate interest in athletics and assist with the vast amount of clerical work necessary in a large organization working under the point system. For proficiency in sports the G. A. A. give three awards. The first is the numeral, given for 400 points, the second a B for 800 points, and the third a pin for 1200 points. These awards encourage the girls to work and also add interest to G. A. A. work by furnishing com- petition. Once a year, we give a party. This year we dressed as characters in Hction. On that afternoon, we had with us such notable personages as The Old Lady who Lived in a Shoe and about twelve of her daughters, Little Bo Peep, Peter Pan, Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn, and a long list of others. It was indeed an inspiring sight as one looked at the bright and happy faces of the girls as they assembled at the tables for refreshments and joined heartily in the singing of several popular songs. Our ollicers are to be congratulated upon the dignified manner in which they conducted the meeting, and it is a matter of great pride to think that we have such splendid girls in our organization. If you were not with us, we hope you will join next time and help to carry on the high ideals of this club as well as promote your own physical good.
