That makes you proud whenever you say I go to Beaumont High. For in your heart you hear them think, Gee, he's a lucky guy! That makes you feel so selish when You come here just to learn, Ana' don't give just a tiny bit Of service in return. It's that mighty parade of athletes With bodies straight and tall, That claims the heart and soul of those Who answer to its call. Its footsteps never die away, Its glory's ever present: And the leaders of this long line leave A memory ever pleasant. 'Received first prize in contest of poems on athletics.

K- Y I- J.. SENIORS By DOUGLAS PHILLIPS As seniors of the class of January l937, we look back upon three and one-half years of joyous existence-years filled to overflowing with fond remembrances of books and friends: years that have passed all too swiftly, and years in which we looked forward to the time when we would be seniors. As seniors we sense a note of sadness, a feeling of remorse, as if we are about to lose some valuable thing. We do not as yet clearly realize what that thing is, but it seems we heard someone say, My school days were the happiest and most carefree of all my life. Although many members of our class will continue their education, others will terminate their school days when they leave their Alma Mater to take their places in the never-ending procession of life. We consider the future with optimism, and we are confident that the training received in Beaumont will help us surmount any obstacles on the road to a successful and happy life. n a climax to our last short term at Beaumont, we have engaged in various activities. Early in the term we elected our officers: President Wesley Gallagher Vice-President Shirley Koenig Secretary Grace Treece Treasurer William Wachsler Digest Correspondent Jewell Charles CADUCEUS Correspondent Douglas Phillips Georgia Bretz Executive Committee Norma McKiddy LJ ack Comer They have performed all their duties gracefully and well. A few weeks later we selected our motto: Natura Obligat Potestates, which means Ability Involves Responsibility. At our get-together party held on Friday, October 16, we danced to the swing music of the Girls' Novelty Orchestra, and when our legs were tired we exercised our vocal cords in community singing, led by that superb master-of-ceremonies, Vic Take. At this juncture we required refresh- ment, so down to the lunchroom we went. We returned with those familiar, contented looks and feelings, to dance to more delightful music until five o'clock. Next on the calendar came Color Day, and everyone will agree that our colors, Aquamarine and Brown, presented a beautiful spectacle indeed. 1 The success of these affairs has been due largely to the efforts of our sponsors, Miss Quellmalz and Mr. Hall, and we take this opportunity to express the immense gratitude that the class bears to them. Thirty-sevm Thirty-eight A SEN IOR'S BRAIN By WILMA WAGNER A senior's brain is something marvelous. It really is a little dangerous. A multitude of things are there, you know, So many that the brain may overflow. Such things as colorsfreds and blues and greens- They're all in such confusion that it seems A shame to see so many brilliant hues Going round and round. But who can choose One or two or three from all the rest, Two, perhaps, that really are the best? Something else is in this brain so bright That to all seniors seems to bring delight -- A party-couples dancing here and there, Then lunch, some food so tasty and so rare. But ah! There's something that has caused distress An orange card with an M, P, and an F! It hangs, like a sword, above a snow-white scrollg Diploma, it is called, by those who know, When four long years of study and of toil Have been completed, oh! there is such joy To be seen in the brain of the senior girl or boy.

NEW SENIORS By RUTH RICHESON As new seniors, we look back on our school life here at Beaumont, which may be compared to a football game. In the first quarter, we kicked off. This began the game. Some of us made successful starts: others of us failed to come through. We felt rather inferior that first period, and most of our time was spent defensively. By the end of the second quarter, we had as sophomores analyzed our opposition and found that it was merely a series of obstacles that could be overcome if tackled in the right way. We found our greatest difficulty was in tackling that giant quarter back in the person of Homework. When we let him get a little ahead of us and then had to catch up with him, we were surprised at the exertion that had to be put forth. We began our second half with a different objective-not to conquer the opposition, but to be the opposition, Now we are entering the fourth and last quarter. As new seniors, We have organized and are extremely close to the goal. In fact, it is almost evident that we will plunge over. If we do, our game is won. As we have steadily progressed down the field, you may have noticed some stars among our ranks. We are proud of them. If we score this goal, it doesn't mean that we will stop nghting. Although it will win this particular game for us, there will be others similar to it. Of course, we shall be rewarded for our victory with a diploma. Now as we look back, we see a new aspect of school in general. We realize that sometimes the game was pretty rough: still, it was a lot of fun. The faculty who have served as our coaches have used good judgment in helping us to win our battle. The following olicers have been chosen to lead us on for the- distance that remains between us and our goal-Graduation. President William Renkel Secretary Naomi Rauschlange Treasurer Albert Kern Digest Correspondent Esther Lachman CADUCEUS Correspondent Ruth Richeson Miss Quellmalz Sponsors EML Hall Forty-one Forty-two MISBEHAVESH GP BISH 'ATHE ,LV ' xl k I J Tl..-,Z Tl-IE BISHOP IVIISBEHAVI-ZS By VERA MCCLAIN The story of the Bishop of Broadminster who wrecks a jewel theft and so cleverly brings justice to the hero and heroine that he receives the thieves' blessings and amens at the fall of the last curtain provides the plot for the senior-new-senior play given in the Beaumont auditorium December 10 and ll. From the crown of his iron-grey curls to the bottom of his skin-tight gaiters, Victor Take was truly a Bishop. Jolly and pleasure-loving old Bishop that he was, he also had a devilishly ingenious brain that kept two hops ahead of the thieves. The Bishop's sister, Lady Emily Lyons, as played by Morley Westfall, was a dignified, sweet old lady who had never been in a public inn before nor had she ever been kissed by a crook. Larry Miller, as Donald Meadows, took care of that nicely. The handsome Donald Meadows was in love with Hester Grantham, Elizabeth Cull. Although poor James Bradley, as Red Eagen, one of the Uthugsf' was Hred on by the Bishop and 'isocked by even Donald Meadows, he was not permitted to keep Grandmother O'Mallory's brooch as a keepsake. The pomp- ous, self-made bully, Mr. Waller Qvvlilliam Schultzj could be controlled only by the newly rich Millie Waller, a social climber, as portrayed by Marniece Atwell. Such a bloomin' cockney bloke as ever you 'erd was Wilbur Hagerbusch as Collins, the chauffeur. Phillip Nauman played Mr. Brooke, the little rabbit of a man who was coshed over the head and repaid for his agony of a black eye with only a beef-steak. William Riley, as Erenchy, had a hard time looking convincingly tough enough to threaten the Bishop. Does it seem possible that from this bedlam and uproar the smooth dialogue, sparkling comedy that you have seen has emerged? Rehearsals!! Miss Warner dashing around in one stocking foot, demand- ing quiet -Wilbur and Wm. Riley laying a dark, deep plot to send someone for hamburgers or wimpys --Larry and Morley trying out a new dance stepiVic coaching the prompters for his next line-Marneice and Betty in a huddle, discussing last night's datei--Bill Schultz, running, panting to his locker for forgotten properties-James practicing how he will fall on the floor, head Iirst--Phillip investigating the rain machine and thunder drum. It is possible, yes, as the audience will vouchsafe. The cast and all the stage hands deeply appreciate the careful, precise direction of Miss Warner that made our senior-new senior play a success that will be remembered long after the applause has died.

By WALTER LEFMAN gt' OR a person as self ccns:ious as Henry Anders, being alone in a place ,QQ fairly alive with girls is very uncomfortable, to say the least. I Even Wigfi though a fourth termer, he had never been quite so alone as this, nor N' ' so bewildered. He had a split lunch period, and all his cronies ate the first: this was the second. He clutched his books and marched as naturally as he could through the noisy and crowded hall and into the auditorium, looking neither right nor left but confident that everybody was laughing up his sleeve at his awkwardness. He tried to occupy his mind with something-lessons--anything to forget him- self, but in vain. He didn't know what to do with his hands, which had suddenly become excess appendages. As he walked across the back of the auditorium, he searched the scattered little groups for a friend. There didn't seem to be anyone he knew-wait a minute, was that. . . ? Good Heavensl, in looking for a friend he had forgotten himself! He had walked into a tall mature-looking young lady and splattered her books all over the floorl By the time Henry had gathered the books up his brain was numb, his face burning. He mumbled an apology and ducked off. When he finally reached a seat he slumped down, and with a cold, trembling hand, opened a book, As he settled down and collected his thoughts, he felt wretched. And this thing had to occur twice a week, for that's what the program card said, No changing it either, that class was the only one of its kind. If only he could Hnd someone he knew who ate the second lunch period-but what was the use? Besides, he hadn't read the history assignment yet, and that new teacher looked plenty tough. The guys said she made you recite a whole chapter at a time. So he began some diligent studying out of pure necessity, for he was conscientious about his subjects, though he often let preparation go until the last minute. Henry was pretty well absorbed when a thump in the adjacent seat told him he was no longer alone. He found himself looking into the frightened face of a little freshman, who asked, Ain't you in my advisory group? I think so. He knew so. This was one of the freshmen they had herded in this morning: name was Chester something. Well, you know that yellow card they give ya? Some kid tore mine in half, an' l'm afraid to go back and show it to the teacher. As he spoke, his voice choked. He certainly was afraid, and no wonder: a new-jay's lot is miserable under ordinary circumstances, but a stroke of disaster like this is almost enough to produce tears. Henry felt rather superior as he Happed back the cover of his book and picked out a blank card that he had gained by sitting at the end of the line when they were given out: there had been one too many. Don't worry, Bud, just copy your program on this card. Are you sure it's all right? Of course. I did the same thing when l was a first. F orty-six 'Tl---x --x 1 1 V J-- Chester couldn't express his gratitude, but it registered on his face with score-board conspicuousness. Henry waved away his clumsy thanks with a modest Don't mention it. The bell rang and they went to their classes. This incident had a decided effect upon Henry's bearing. It made him feel more mature. However, this state of elation uplift lasted but a short time. By the next day he was the old bashful Henry again. The next time he ate the second, he made it a point to finish lunch early and get up to the Maud to study his history. Since he had slipped by the day before, and the one before that, he was fast forming a habit of letting that subject go until lunch time. Nothing embarrassing about going through an empty hall, but he knew that not many minutes more would find it lined on both sides with observing oldsters. He sat down as usual and proceeded to study. By the time he had covered two topics, the piano was withstanding another attack and things were becoming merry in general. Half a dozen freshmen were dashing up and down the aisles, affectedly absorbed in some game, perhaps. One of them, Henry noticed, was the kid he had spoken with the other day. He saw Henry looking at him and came over. In keeping with their previous relation, he began: That program card you gave me worked all right. Boy! was I glad I had it, 'cause she made a monkey out 'o Withers just 'cause his was wrinkled. That's just like her. Hey, were you absent yesterday? I didn't see you in the advisory group. Here Henry saw an opportunity to make a worldly impression and seized it: Naw, I was just bummin' around the halls. That teacher's so dull, she doesn't know what year it is. I sneak out whenever I want to. The truth was, he had been down at the office trying to have his lunch period changed. Heck, I wish I still had 'er. They changed all us first-termers yesterday to Cooper's group. You're lucky and don't know it. The dialogue went on like this for a few minutes. Nothing much was said, all of which concerned the school and most of which was exaggerated. After these few minutes it was interrupted by Norman Pierce, who sidled down the row and sat next to Henry. Now Henry never had really liked Norman Pierce but did covet his man-about-town attitude once in awhile. Norman said: K'Hi, twerp-still stewin over books, eh? Yea. Why don't you get next to yourself? Ya don't see me doin' any studyin' and I haven't flunked one yet. You don't get any E's though. Who wants E's? Only suckies make E's. I only go to this joint cause I have to. Which reminds me, I'm skippin' again tomorrowfgoin' to a show. So what? Just this: I'm too smart for these guys to make me do anything I don't want to. I can skip school whenever I feel like it. Shucks-anybody can study and get in good with a teacher, but it takes real brains to cook up an absence excuse that ain't too musty to be accepted. So that's what you call fun? Who said anything about fun? Say, when I go out for a good time, I take a dame with me. Now take this football game next Saturday, f'rinstance, Forty-seven ,ie-14 11:1-LJ.. I'm gonna ask Dora Klug to go with me. I took her to the last one. Boy, she's a honey! At this point, Chester, who had sat unnoticed, stirred and got up. The bell rang and Norman Pierce left. As Henry and Chester walked to their classes, Chester spoke up: That's the guy who tore up my program card that day. He thinks he's smart, Yea? Does he really play hookey and get away with it? Sure, he has somebody write a note for him: who's gonna know the difference? Nobody around here knows his mother's handwriting. Hey, why don't you take Dora to that game? 'AMe? Ha! Don't be funny. With this Henry went into his class, for they had come to it by this time. The next day, Henry ate the first lunch period with his friends. After they had eaten they wandered off as usual in pairs or groups of three: Henry went with Bob Froint and Richard Kerl, The hall was rather crowded now, and Henry became separated from the other two for a moment. Somebody behind him said: Hullo, Henry. Henry turned, expecting to say to some classmate, but instead found himself looked at the beaming and beautiful face of Dora Klug. His heart stopped like a flame in a gust of wind, then jumped violently into life again with a crazy pounding. He was so stricken that he could hardly do anything but gulp. Finally he said: A'Eh-hi Dora. Dora. Wow! that sounded pretty. I just wanted to tell you that I have accepted your invitation to go to Saturday's game. Call for me at-say twelve-thirty. Is that all right? Henry couldn't reason. He couldn't say What invitation? or anything like it. He only knew that he was doing the seemingly impossible: he was taking Dora Klug to a football game: he was accepting an invitation that he was supposed to have extended: and he was actually speaking very calmly: What will Norman Pierce say? That thing? Say, I wouldn't go with him if he'd beg me. He's the most conceited imbecile I know. But hasn't he asked you to go with him? Of course not-and he'd better not. When Henry was given time to think, he began to believe that this was no coup d'etat at all but one of Norman Pierce's practical jokes. But it had back- fired on him--or had it? Maybe Dora Klug was in on it too! Anyhow, somebody was responsible, for girls don't make up invitations like that. In his mind's eye he thrashed Norman Pierce mercilessly. He'd tell that rat a thing or two. Just wait! The next day the opportunity to tell Norman Pierce a thing or two knock- knocked, but by this time Henry Anders was as meek as a lamb. As Pierce approached, Henry, who was seated as usual at this time in the Maud, could tell that this was no friendly visit. Indeed, Norman Pierce meant business. Say, you little weasel, did you squeal on me for skippin' school? he exploded. What? Your head ain't no barrel: you heard me. Forty-eighl I . 3 c -L 1 -J k--L----- --- -1 - - 4 ' 1-I f -zz-.::1 its -1 A 11 fi -' 'AWhat makes you think that? Well, teachers don't find those things out without any help, and I've got an idea you're a pretty good helper. Honest, I never told. Say, what do you think I am? Maybe not. But somebody did, and l'm gonna knock 'im out from between his ears, whoever it is. Why, do you know that I gotta stay home from shows, parties, and football games for a month just because some simpleton couldn't keep his face shut? Norman Pierce fumed on like this until the bell rang, Henry didn't mention Dora but was content to be one of the fortunate persons who hadn't betrayed Norman's activities. Nevertheless, this business was very puzzling. Dora Klug must have been sincere about going to the game, because Norman Pierce in any condition would never have overlooked gloating over such a successful joke. By gosh! This gave him an air of superiority! Dora Klug was going out with him. Heck! Gals weren't so bad after all. As Henry Anders, nonchalant and confident, was about to enter his Iifth- hour class, Chester touched him on the arm. Hi there, Chester, ol' sock! he bellowed. H'lo. Say, what do they do to a guy for skippin' school? Why, you thinkin' about skippin'? Nokbut-well, I sorta told my adviser about a kid who skipped, an' I'd like to know if it's enough to make up for a torn program card. You didn't1I Yea-and by the way, you can take Dora to that game now, cause I don't think she likes Norman Pierce much anyhow-especially since she knows about him playin' hookey. i'Well-I dont' understand-what-er-how?

Consult a volume of botany for full particulars. The plant itself spreads its long, foliated fingers angularly about 50 degrees, with its carriage an inch above the ground. Thus they are easy to cut and gather. After they are gathered many people wash them.

Early morning fog drifted on a cool breeze, completely blanketing parts of the mountain at times. A sudden rift in the fog unfolded before our eyes the inclined railway which stretches at a sixty-five degree angle in a straight path up the eastern side of the mountain, where seventy-five years ago was fought the famous battle above the clouds. The road twisted and wound and turned steadily upward. Every now and then we would get a glimpse of the city of Chattanooga, rapidly falling away behind us. Lodges and cabins jutted from the cliff-like sides to face the morning sun. At last we were on top. Here we found several houses, a souvenir shop, and an army post with a national park, We entered the park and wandered on the gravel paths which wound around immense boulders and deep green pines. At one spot is a pile of rock with one flat slab balanced on top of this pile. It looked scary from the ground but when you climbed on top the slab, it afforded a grand view. To the left lay a deep valley with a ribbon-like highway and tiny cars racing on it. As the fog lifted, the snake-like Tennessee River appeared, winding 1800 feet below. Another army post and a graveyard seemed almost at our feet. To the right, fresh and shining in the morning sunlight, lay the city of Chattanooga. Cannon of the year 1865 fronted on the steep side. Far off in the distance stretched Missionary Ridge. Truly it is easy to see why this old overgrown hill is called Lookout Mountain. iff-'EE -N 7' FKWWW T? T' g ... , . v I ' .i gf Q W Q j ' -. 4.

By MARY GRIFFITH I-1 Atlantic, beautiful, wide, heavy, sent out messages of A'Come, let's play hide and seek! as the bow of the boat slit the mad, delicately exasperated waves into a V of froth,' Sevenldays-eight-and Aruba, a mound of black fused with gleaming sunlight, rose from the water. As we drew nearer, little bungalows which lined the shore became less like Lilliputian houses. Long rows of them, gamut of the colors of a rainbow, were one-storied stucco dwellings. As the S. S. Elisha Walker steamed toward the channel, we could see many black smoke-stacks outlined against the sky. A small motor boat miraculously emerged from the choppy water, and one of the crew, the pilot, boarded our ship and took the wheel. Through the channel he weaved, avoiding treacherous reefs, to the quay, So this was Aruba, island of the Dutch West Indies? It was not, at first sight, the primitive paradise I had visualized. My thatched huts and cocoanut grovesgwhere were they? But, as I was to find later by exploring and wandering, it was only this small area, the concession in which lived the employees of the oil and transport company established by white men, which was modernized. For hundreds of years, the chief means by which the natives make a living has been fishing. At strategic points, inlets and coves, traps are set. The unfortunate grunts, small gray and gold fish that wander into them, are used for baiting hooks for larger fish. The small crafts which combat the fierce strength of the turbulent Caribbean rise and fall with the waves, sometimes appearing to have been swallowed completely, only to be spewed forth by a fresh heaving of the waters. When the morning's labor fails to yield sufficient food, the fishermen dive to a depth of thirty feet for conchs. This is a dangerous occupation because of the ever-present sharks and barracudas. Once, two years ago, Aruban fisherman hauled from the sea a native wrirhing in the gore from the stump of a severed arm, which they bound swiftly in filthy rags. He had been so intent in his search for shell-fish he had failed to notice an approaching shark. Callous to the beauty of the delicately tinted conch shells, Arubans crack them open and extract the small animal within. To see a goat, freshly butchered, stretched outside the natives' huts is common. Years ago, when threatened with extinction from starvation, natives were saved by the herds of goats placed on the island by the Dutch Government. Today the goats remain their principal source of meat. Since there is only one fresh-water spring in Aruba and brackish water is neither healthful nor tasty, juice is taken from a kind of cactus and put through a simple but ingenious process. It is mixed with sugar and allowed to ferment for thirty-six hours. It is then boiled and the vapor passes through a tube attached to the kettle into another vessel full of water. The resulting liquid is blended with several bottles of bay rum. One breath of this is all that is necessary to make one's hair curl around three or four times, stand straight up on end, and fall out. Many are the stories of the superstitions of the natives, superstitions learned from Negroes of Santo Domingo, Haiti, and Trinidad. They sincerely believe Fifty-Hue -- I 1 - J,. , x L j J! that there are mermaids in the surrounding waters and are very much surprised that the Americans are amused at their belief. One of them endeavored to convince my father. Father grinned skeptically and said, K'Now, what would you think if I told you I saw a man fly through the air without the help of an airplane, artificial wings, or anything? Why, Mr. Griffith, have you seen them, too? the credulous fellow replied. Although now, in 1936, these people are becoming industrialized to some extent, far out in the wilderness of cactus and hills exist brown-skinned families on the verge of starvation. They speak only Papiemento, a language of which there are fifteen distinct dialects even on such a small island as Aruba. Occasionally on Thanksgiving and Christmas, solicitous Americans visit these Arubans with baskets of food, which elicit fervent danquis. Before the white men came, since there were only burros to carry the natives about the sun-beaten island, lengthy journeys were seldom made. Because of this, little villages were scattered over the western end of Aruba, where the natives settled, chiefly for the reasons that this end was protected from the incessant east wind and that large cocoanut groves were found here. Nearby, the commercial center grew up, since here was the most favorable harbor for docking schooners and ships, Oranjestad, as headquarters for the Dutch gov- ernor, is today the busiest city. Here one may be married, divorced, thrown into jail, or buried. The streets are paved and boast curb stones. Narrow they are, too, and drivers of the innumerable cars crawling about cannot see around the corners because the houses come right to the street save for the three-foot sidewalk. Hence the valiant charges blown by the musical horns at each and every corner. fOr, driver, beware of that Dutch soldier in khaki uniform and wide-brimmed brown straw hat who rides erect on that high Dutch bicyclelj In the afternoon native women, heads covered with black lace hoods, which signify marriage, and alparghatas Hopping from broad brown feet, do their daily shopping in fly-infested, hole-in-the-wall grocery stores. In the evenings Americans from the east end of the island drive over the pleasant seventeen-mile road to Oranjestad-to go to the Gloria Theatre or dance at the Astoria, one of the few two-storied buildings on the island, though it, too, is of adobe. But even, the coming of the oil refinery, now a branch of the Standard Oil of New Jersey, did little to change the routine of native life. The refinery came in 1928. Arubans were employed as Hhelpersf' If it happened to be aloes season or the right day for fishing, the helpers failed to appear for work. Their jobs at the reiinery were incidental to their old lives: they regarded the refinery as temporary, to vanish as quickly as it had come. And perhaps they are right, for the tropics are notoriously debilitating to the white man. Although at present Aruba is an important source of revenue to the Netherlands. to whom it belongs, and exorbitant taxes are demanded of employees of the refinery, in spite of their being citizens of the United States, the white man may vanish whence he came: then the native will abandon his white man's clothing and habits and pick up the threads of his old life, which is never long left. One can hardly call this island beautiful, because of its barrenness. God- forsaken hole, homesick foreign residents term it. Still, some peculiar and powerful fascination draws them back again and again. It might be the ceaseless Fifty-six l I J-f., .V L k x j J pageant of gray, cactus-topped coral-the cocoanut groves-white sand beaches, strewn with sea-weed and driftwood, reveling in the unearthly splendor of the tropical moonlight-evil, leering crabs scrambling over beach and coral- the lizards and inguanas and goats roaming over weather-beaten clilfs4white ghosts of schooners-the rumble of the sea breaking against the rocks into great fountains of white spray, with screaming gulls circling in the blue above- decaying huts of adobe-or perhaps the rays of ripe-pear crimson streaming wildly across the sky as the short tropical twilight converges with the dusk.

X 'an' Our first object was the Texas Centennial at Dallas. With several thousand other people we craned our necks and helped build up the camera business by our lust for pictures of everything and anything. The picturesque costumes, the beautiful buildings, added to the glamour surrounding the history of Texas, made the exposition most interesting. We reluctantly left the Cen- tennial and drove on to the border town of Laredo. Next day we crossed the border into Old Mexico, but we didn't travel far, since they demanded that we have passports in order to continue farther. Even with this handicap, we did fairly well, considering that our Spanish vocabulary consisted of a few worn and badly mutilated words. The little we saw of the country was so little different from Texas that we were mildly disappointed. We left Old Mexico and traveled for days and days-through Texas. The next stop was Carlsbad Cavern at White City, New Mexico. This cavern is well known for its Bat Flights . The same evening we Visited the Museum of White City where we saw some mummified Indians. Vvle, then, were taught a few Indian signs, which we promptly forgot, and were told a few blood- curdling stories, to help us sleep better. The next morning we started out on our six-and-a-half-mile hike through the cavern. The temperature always remains at 560 during summer and winter. At the lowest point we were 829 feet underground. The cavern was divided into many large beautiful rooms by natural formations. Some reminded us of soap-suds all puffed up in pride. The formation of a series of columns gave the appearance of a huge organ shrouded in heavy silence. We saw what appeared to be frozen falls and curtains draping gracefully in huge folds from the ceiling. The weird lighting in parts of the cave gave us the eerie feeling of being in a graveyard at the stroke of midnight. We finished our hike by taking an elevator to the surface. Thrilled! We were again on our way. We were anxious to see the desert about which we had heard so much. We were finally rewarded with a most beautiful picture of white sand drifting gracefully as far as we could see. At last, we were at the California state line, Vkle remained a few days in Long Beach, California, during which we visited Catalina Island. Crossing a tiny piece of the ocean on steamer was a real thrill. On the island we were confronted with a galaxy of color and of whatnot shoppes. We took a sightseeing bus, which gave us a bird's eye view of the island in a very short time. We saw the one and only little town of Avalon on the island and also Zane Clrey's home, VVrigley's home and training field, and the famous Casino. We then took a short ride on a glass-bottomed boat, where we heard about the habits of certain Hsh and saw them in their surroundings of rocks and plants. At the end of the day we returned to the mainland, sucking earnestly on extra sour lemon drops to prevent seasickness. We visited Hollywood, hoping to catch a glimpse of some of our favorites. Fifty-eight .-fl, , K --c 1 2-J- 1. ,I Next was Yosemite National Park, where we stopped just long enough to enjoy a beautiful sunset and to witness the magnificent Nfire fall . When it is very dark, fire is poured down the side of a cliff and it is one brilliant cascade in an inky black sky as it tumbles slowly down and down. Leaving Yosemite, we entered a very foggy San Francisco. We viewed Chinatown through a damp and dreary mist. The most striking thing about Chinatown is the streets. They are terribly steep and frightening to anyone unused to them. ln the morning with the blanket of fog still very low we gazed at the new Golden Gate Bridge, the largest bridge in the world. lt appeared to be endless as it disappeared into the gray mists. The Biggest Little Town on Earth, which is Reno, was next. Every store we stepped into, we were greeted by a slot machine, a very familiar object all through the West. Through the Great Salt Desert, we came to Salt Lake City, where we visited the Mormon Temple grounds. Walking through the tabernacle, we heard the history of Brigham Young and his great accomplishments. Next morning we started for Yellowstone National Park. We gathered a great deal of information concerning geysers and hot springs. We saw Old Faithful erupt many times in all her glory and beauty. Every now and then we caught a glimpse of some bashful little animal as it peeped curiously from its hiding place. These bashful little animals were not bears. ln fact, the bears were quite friendly-too friendly. After leaving Yellowstone, we stopped at Manitou, Colorado Springs. It must be a very nice place when it doesn't rain, but for three days we viewed things through a dismal mist. We rode up a winding road to the top of Pike's Peak and experienced a very funny feeling. We tried to catch a glimpse of the country side between the clouds as they floated around and beneath us. After coming down from Pike's Peak we visited the Cave of the Winds, which contains many famous rooms, such as the Bridal Chamber, Old Maid's Chamber, and the Wishing Stream. At last we returned to St. Louis, well known for some of its most beautiful possessions and the most beautiful city to us. 1 1 1 CHlLD'S SNOW FANTASY By FRANCES WADDELL The sky was a palace of fairyland things and the drifts were the castIe's wall: The reflected Ere on the window's pane seemed to dance in the palace hall. The white moon played on each falling flake and brought out its perfect hue: Some sparkled with silver, while still others shone with a hint of the diamond's blue, I felt, as I watched, like a part of the scene, sublime in a non-lasting dream. Content in the realm of a make-believe world, content in a glory supreme! Fiftyfnine iff . L... . -. . f . . i . e t, MIDSUMMER VACATION By GABRIEL OLIENSIS at yy E left St. Louis on the Pennsy on an insufferably hot, sultry day. What a pleasure it was, therefore, when a few hours later, after dinner, my kid brother and I climbed into our air-cooled upper berth. And what fun it was poking our heads out of the curtain and watching the passengers lurching back and forth through the aisle. During the night, when the Pullman lights were turned low and the wheels of the car made a pleasant, monotonous clickety-clickety-clack-clack sound. we scampered up and down from the upper berth to the floor and back again, giggling and feeling happy at the new adventure on which we were embarked, until Father whispered to us savagely to go to sleep or he'd punish us. So- presently we fell asleep. All next day, whenever we stopped at a large city, the two of us hopped off and scampered up and down the station platform till the last moment, when the conductor shouted, Awllll abawwwwwrd! Oh, but we were having a fine time! At last the train reached Philadelphia. Here it was even hotter, more insufferable, than in St. Louis. Everybody looked worn, pale, wilted! On, on sped the train, as if rushing to escape the heat. About an hour later patches of white sand, flecked with bright green grasses, began to appear. We saw the calm, blue waters of tiny little baylets here and there, heralding our nearness to the ocean, What a pretty picture it was, all bright green, white, and bluel We stuck our heads out of the window and breathed in the cool, salty, invigor- ating air of the ocean winds. And now the train stopped. We were in Atlantic City. After spending a few days in the hotel on the beach front, Mother found a cool, green and white cottage for us and we moved in. Thereafter we fell into the usual routine of Atlantic City vacationersfeating our breakfast at home, going out to the beach in our bathing suits, swimming and diving among the breakers, eating a tasty lunch on the beach. And how fine those lunches did taste, in spite of all the fine sand that blew into them. In the afternoon we swam some more and basked in the sun on the beach or strolled around on the boardwalk. We became terribly sun-burned, as brown as berries. After dinner we took another walk on the long, crowded boardwalk, visited, saw the sights, and in general had a glorious time till Mother made us go to bed. One day, when we were all bathing in the ocean, suddenly it began to thunder, lighten, and rain, I found myself swimming in the rain? A mother shouted to her boy, who was splashing about in the waves, Come in this minute, Billy. You'll get wet! A very eccentric woman we knew was also caught in this rain. Every day that summer for the last four weeks, so she told my Mother, she had come to the beach in her bathing suit and spent the entire morning and early afternoon on the beach, getting a sun tan, and not once had she gone in swimming! So when the rain came down in torrents, she hastily rushed under the boardwalk so she wouldn't get wetl Every day I saw huge headlines in the newspapers about the terrible drouth and record-breaking temperatures prevailing in and around St. Louis. I pitied my friends at home. Here in Atlantic City the ocean winds tempered the hot sun and the thermometer was seldom above 85 degrees. That is one of the Sixty 1 -l- j , 111-.1 .. .. .. .i .. ,.,, . . . . 5 . .. f .'-Z:-1- 1-.-2222 main reasons Why Atlantic City is so popular and draws visitors from every corner of the country. The ocean is a beautiful sight at night. When the moon is sending forth her silver light, and all the length of the boardwalk for miles on either side lies glittering at the edge of the breakers, you look far out over the dark, mysterious ocean and a strange feeling comes over you: you feel how small and inconse- quential man is besides nature. When the waves break into foam as they strike the beach, I picture mermaids dashing to the land, with their sparkling silver tresses flowing behind them. And yet, when Father announced that we were to start for home, I forgot all about Atlantic City, with its ocean and glamor and interesting sights, and thought how wonderful it would seem to be back home once more. It was late in the afternoon when we crossed high over the Mississippi and I saw the old familiar landmarks from afar. Then I felt my cup of joy was running over. I was in St. Louis again. Heat or no heat, I was happy. 1 1 1 CONGE DE MENAGE par LA VERNE WAGNER Vg may E matin de dimanche le vingt-neuf juin etait un matin joyeux pour la famille de M. Bruin.

Sixty-one A AFRICA By JULIAN JAGGARD ICTURE a large one-story bungalow with a spreading veranda, standing giyl on the bank of a river that would rival the Mississippi in breadth: a native village behind with jungle on either sidefimpenetrable jungle, L ' Y pierced only by trails worn there when the jungle was young and kept in repair by the feet of travelers. Myriads of magnificent flowers are set in a background of the dark drapery of the towering trees. Beautiful birds flit about, flaunting such amazingly brilliant plumage that it is difficult to imagine that their harsh voices actually belong to them. The one exception is the mysterious unseen bird whose melodious notes herald the dawn with clock-like regularity each morning at exactly 5:40, for the sun rises and sets at six near the equator. On the thickly carpeted floor of the jungle are countless shrubs and enormous flowers that easily eclipse the much sought after orchid. The native, however, in his life-and-death struggle, takes this artist's paradise as a matter of course. He follows, as his ancestors did, the game trails, always aware of the danger surrounding him, and always pitting his wits against the greatest and most cunning of animals. He is really on a shopping tour, and his advertisements are the signs unwittingly made by the animals which to him are nothing more than the shrewd opponents in his primitive business world. However, the loser of a transaction can never gain anything from his experience: he is eaten, either way. In more literal terms, the native depends upon such traps as he can devise, for his food. These are many: and, of course, these differ with respect to the animal sought. Antelope, boars, and the like are caught with a swift-striking trap which is set off by means of a trigger-like arrangement lying in the game trail. lt must strike with the speed of lightning, for its object is endowed with remarkable speed and agility. To catch larger game, such as the elephant, two kinds of traps are commonly employed: either a pit in the trail, covered over very naturally, or an arrangement of three or four pointed logs, which fall from a height of about eighty feet and transfix the beast to the Spot. With the jungle all cluttered up, as it were, with these treacherous traps, it probably seems strange to you that the natives don't spend much of their time in traps of one kind or another, shouting for help This is not the case, how- ever. There is a definite code in the jungle under which all traps are marked by means of palm fronds placed so that, to the native, they are as conspicuous as our Detour signs. Nevertheless, palm frond or not, one never touches any branches or vines lying across the path lest the next second he find himself an untidy corpse buried under a few logs that were addressed to some elephant. Despite all his ingenious traps, if a native gets hungry for a gorilla or a leopard, he has to go hunting in our sense of the word: that is. with a gun or more likely a bow and arrow. Not that hunger is the only motive for hunting these animals. Not by any means! They are not of a bashful character and must frequently be killed for protection and, incidentally, are eaten afterwards. One bold fellow-a leopard-was ambitiously harassing our goat flocks. My father first of all set a price on the leopard skin. That night he led a goat into the jungle a little way, tied it to a stake as bait, and established himself as comfortably as possible about twenty feet away for a long wait, One of the Sixty-Iwo - x Q --- -x 1 J J., village head-men with similar intentions perched behind the house about four yards from the jungle, while another waited out on a game trail in a position that enabled him to see anything crossing a glade a short distance away. Both of these men were armed with ancient muzzle-loaders, equally dangerous at both ends. Bows and arrows would have been safer for them, but it is easy to understand their pride in such a situation. Waiting for a guest that may bring death is a wearing business at the most. You dare not relax your alertness for fear that the critical moment will come. lt is no wonder, therefore, that my father was wearied to the point of disgust by one o'clock in the morning. He took the fortunate goat and went home. Meanwhile the native sitting behind the house breathed sharply! The blunt head of a leopard suddenly appeared, his eyes reflecting the moonlight+a perfect target! A shotl A shriek! The cat gave a few last kicks, a bullet in its head. The commotion woke the whole village, and the elders came over and divided the meat. This meat, however, is conveniently taboo to the women or anybody else but the head-men. Each of the two hundred or so head men in the village of four hundred, takes his share home and gorges himself upon leopard meat, while his wives the has as many as he can alfordl dine upon such vegetables as they can raise and such fish as they can catch. 1 1 1 EINE SGNDERBARE GESCI-IICHTE By ARLINE VIETH Urgrossvater lebte vor vielen' Jahren in einer .kleinen Stadt in Norddeutschlandv.

Dentre de poco terminara mi ultimo semestre en Beaumont. Cuatro anos de trabajar, de entender, de adquirir, y de gozar. Estoy contenta y tambien me pongo triste a causa de las amidades que me he hecho en la escuela en unas pocos dias ellas seran rotos. No obstante como pasaron los aios tendre en el Corazon mio recuerdas de mis companeros aqui pensamientos, delicados y tiernos del directors, de los profesores, y de los socias. Tengo ganas de asistir a una Universidad, Alla conocirnientos sin numero me esperan, Otros asociaciones agradables, am gos nuevos: pero nunca me olvidare la vida de Beaumont. Mi Caduceus que contien este ejemplar, el rasto de las socias, de los Clubes, a mi es muy precioso--de manera que no pueda olvidorme jamas mis companeros.

Once I snatched out wildly with enchanted lingers For the bruised petal of a flower-hardly the fragrance lingers, A strong sense to listen back so far in these surroundings. Dig deep! and strain to bear the soundings. Now, in this the forgotten city I seek refuge and pity In coveted post cards, And, like the bards, Think in terms of a shining past Where beauty is, and beauty lasts. 1 f Y THE DESERT By JEANNE RHODES Along it stretched With neuer an ending, Nothing in sight But an endless desert.

After a few weeks of practice, the regular team was selected: Ney Amato and Bob Marting, ends: Glen Niebur and Fred Trumpold, tackles: Tom Heckert and Russ Paul, guards: George Frank, center: A'Bud Schwenk, quarter back: Gene Rapplean and Jack Roehlk, half backs: and Vic Theiling, full back. Supplying most of the sub- stitution for the line were Al Bernhardt, Fred Cross, Wes Gallagher, Doug Hall, Walter Hassing, Bob Michaud, Bob Owens, Ed Rapplean, Bill Schuerman, James McDowell, and Aubrey Sonderman: while Ed Fredericks, Dan Jostedt, Ralph Kuelker, Don McCaffrey, and Fred Freise could be counted on to relieve the back field. The Blue and Gold squad opened its schedule by defeating the strong Collinsville team 27-6 and following this by a most decisive victory of 54-O over Edwardsville. The Blue Jackets next eliminated McBride 34-6 and McKinley 34-O, relieving the pressure and giving themselves a rest for their game against the University City team, whom they defeated 19-O. Cleveland and Soldan, who were both beaten by the same score, 19-6, were eliminated next: and this triumph was followed by a complete rout of the Roosevelt Rough Riders in a 21-6 battle for the leadership of the Public High School League. The North Siders' victory of 19-O over Central clinched for them the first city championship ever to be held by a football team of Beaumont or its predecessor, Yeatman, which covers a period of about thirty years. The Moline team, although outclassed all afternoon, came from behind to break the Blue and Gold stride and beat them by the score of 14-6, giving them their only defeat, Without doubt this season has proved to be one of the most successful to be enjoyed by Beaumont. Having lost only one hard-fought game and won nine, a record rarely equaled, of which the school is justly proud, the football team is rated by the newspapers of St. Louis as the best in the district. The loss of A'Bud Schwenk, Tom Heckert, Vic Theiling, Ney Amato, George Frank, Glen Niebur, Gene Rapplean, Fred Cross, Wesley Gallagher, Dan Jostedt, Fred Freise, and Ed Fredericks, who graduate in January, will be deeply felt, for it was these boys who were the backbone of the team and made it what it was. Seventy-Eve N x Seventy-six TENNIS TEAM --K x J J 11, 1 3 t' t1 TENNIS TEAM GEORGE FINLAY and JAMES BRADLEY When the tennis season opened at Beaumont this year, the prospects for a good team were unusually good, In addition to the four returning lettermen, Robert Bud Blattner, George Berger, James Bradley, and George Finlay, we had Bernard Manic, a very capable reserve from last year. For positions on the team Mr. Backus chose Bud Blattner, also known for his table tennis fame, for first singles: the second singles went to George Finlay: and the third singles went to James Bradley: while the doubles team was composed of George Berger and Bernard Manic. In a practice contest before the league schedule opened, Beaumont engaged Edwardsville. In this match we showed a strong team, winning by the score of 9-0. In our first league battle against Cleveland we dropped two matches, and chances for a championship! team faded, Beaumont then came back strong, winning all the remaining matches but two and going on to win the Iirst league championship ever won by a Beaumont team. Special honors for the season go to Bud Blattner, George Berger, and Bernard Manic, who completed the season without a defeat. To close a most successful season, Blattner, Berger, and Manic traveled to Columbia for the State Tournament. Bud, who always came through. repeated and bagged the state singles title. Berger and Manic played some fine tennis, too, but lost in the finals to Kansas City Westport, By winning the league championship we added ten points to the Hellmich trophy total and brought it to our school for permanent possession. At the end of the season George Finlay was elected captain of the team. Coach Backus is to be congratulated on his efforts in producing a champion- ship team.

K 'S i J ... GOLF TEAM By EDGAR SCHROEDER For the second successive year, under the coaching of Mr. Kemp, the Golf Team has won the City High-School Championship. The scores for the tournament were obtained by adding the scores of the four low men on the team together for a total. This was done on each of the four Saturdays. Then the four days' totals were added for the grand tournament total. The team which was made up of Jack Comer, Russel Lankau, Lloyd Brackman, Jerry Satz, Edgar Schroeder, and Robert Seitz won by an average of ten strokes per man per tournament. Of the members of the team, Comer is the most experienced. This is his third year as a member of the team. It is the second season for Lankau and Brackman, while Satz, Seitz, and Schroeder are all new comers. Lankau was the only member to play in all four of the tournaments. Comer and Brackman played only three times. On the other day they went to Columbia to play in the state tournament. These two boys brought home from Columbia the second position for team scores. Seitz also played in three tournaments while Schroeder played in two and Seitz in one. Comer was the medalist of the tournament, followed in close succession by Brackman, Lankau, and Satz. This is the last season on the team for all the members except Satz, who has one more season of play. 1 Y 1 WRESTLING CLUB By JAY PRIZZO The purpose of our club is to develop boys physically, mentally, and morally.

In the years 1933, 1934, and 1936, Beaumont has captured three city championships and one district championship. In 1935 we suffered a defeat at the hands of Cleveland, but our reputation was vindicated when we won the Iirst state swim- ming championship a week later. Since Mr. Franklin, the swimming coach, is occupied with the football team until after the Christmas holidays, the task of molding the team for 1937 was assigned to three capable lettermen: Harry Fields, Robert Lingeman, and Douglas Phillips. Under their supervision the team conducts a workout every Monday, Tuesday, and Friday. We have many boys who show swimming ability and who we hope will be the swimming champions of 1937. The boys and the events they are com- peting for are: 50 yds. 100 yds. 220 yds. 100 yds. 100 yds free style breast stroke free style back stroke free style Fancy diving 150 yds. medley relay 200 yds. relay 200 yds. relay T Heckert KD.

L I l 5 l l zz' 1 TRACK SQUAD TRACK By LEO GOVERO In track-meets Beaumont has been rather successful for the last two seasons, finishing in second place both times. But still the coaches' dream, to defeat Roosevelt, has fallen just a bit short. We were exceptionally strong last spring in both the senior and junior divisions, but our midget division fell short of attaining the success that would have placed Beaumont first. Whenever the Beaumont squad went on the field, records were apt to fall. Brackmann and Cross went up to new heights in the pole vault, and Schuene- man barely missed lowering the record in the high hurdles. Prospects for the future are not quite so cheerful. The number of experienced performers returning to the junior and midget divisions next year is very small. Coach Pager's greatest problem is to discover and develop suflicient material to enable a creditable showing in these two divisions. The result of the past seasons of track activities indicates the need of per- formers able to win events rather than of those who can Iinish second, third and fourth. It is quite dehnite that we have just as fast boys as other schools and our coaching is as good as any in the city, if not better. If these capable boys would only come out and practice faithfully, there is no doubt that we should finish iirst next year. No sport offers a greater program for muscular development and co-ordina- tion. Plans are under way for local, inter-city, and state competition, and an interesting schedule is being drawn up.

Five lettermen from the squad of l936 will return to help build a new squad. Dick Moran and Joe Rayne, both serving their fourth year for Beaumont, will be co-captains. Harry Hertling and Howard Wamholrf, regulars last year, along with Albert Butcher, also return. New men, among whom are some who were members of the squad last year, will be: Jostedt, Rhoelk, Kelsey, Farmer, Neibur, Schmidt, and Dowling. The club opens this season with Central the second Saturday in April at Public Schools Stadium. Indoor practice, as usual, will start early after the holiday season. An effort is to be made to develop pitching talent for future Beaumont teams. f ,LGA Q 6 :sasssa - ' f- 23555 ' 6' Eighty-three LEAGUE GAMES .. L t 1-- Liu x J J BASKETBALL By WILLIAM RENKEL With the closing of a very successful athletic year for Beaumont, our atten- tion turns again to basketball. During the early part of November, Coach Polster issued his call for try-outs, and about 150 boys responded. Because of the vacancies on the squad this year we would like to have more boys come out. Two lettermen, Captain Herbert Kamper and Vernon Brinkman, were lost from last year's squad, and we shall feel greatly the loss of five lettermen who will finish their eighth semester in January. Those who will be lost are Wilson Schwenk, Ney Amato, Moerschell Uhlemeyer, Bill Wachsler, and Fred Freise, We should have a strong team until January, for after the football season the squad will be reinforced by Schwenk, Matting, Rapplean, and Amato. The three remaining veterans on the team who will be with us all season are Wedler, Stiegemeyer, and Matting, around whom Coach Folster will have to build his team. However, we have some promising candidates for the various positions on the squad in Harry Hertling, Warren Schuerman, William Massarand, Bill Grady, Frank Lehman, Roy Hillinghorst, Harry Spellmeyer, Jerry Satz, and George Berger. Coach Polster has been working very hard to whip his squad into shape, and we are confident that he will again have a successful season.

HUNTINGTON The High School Patrons' Association begs leave to call to the attention of the fathers of North St. Louis the enviable position in athletics of Beaumont High School. As enumerated elsewhere in this book, the boys of the school have been making history in swimming, basketball, baseball, track, tennis, golf, and football this year. Attention should be directed, it seems to us, to the coaches under whose guidance and direction the boys work day after day. I E I i I el S1 ATHLETIC COACHES B, M. Franklin R. C. Lewis O. H. Duggins V. R. Kirk H. Backus H. E. Kemp O. F. Fager R. G. Polster The work of these men goes often unnoticed. Their hours are long, and many times they are held responsible for various happenings for which they are not at all to blame. But these men occupy a big place in the lives of the boys whom they coach, and ofttimes for these men the boys will do things which they will not do for any other person. To make you acquainted with these coaches there appears a group picture of them on this page. The Patrons' Association desires to do all that it can to support interest among the boys in athletics and invites the fathers of North St. Louis to unite with it in membership and to meet with it in the school. At Eighty-five its meetings from time to time the coaches appear, and various groups of both girls and boys demonstrate extra-curricular activities. ln this way the patrons become acquainted with these men, keep informed of what is being done, and can better support athletics in the school. 1 1 Y 'FTI-IE MAN ON THE BENCH By CLAUDINE BRADFORD You can sing your praise Of the man on the field: You can shout for joy Vvlhen your side doesn't yieldg But never forget Theres another beauty In the man on the bench Who awaits his duty.

The museum was made up by members of the Nature Club, and they are still adding collections to it. It has various specimens of snakes, insects, flowers, rocks, shells, as well as natural curiosities. This club is one of the oldest organizations of Beaumont. We really have good times, better than you think. Very few members withdraw from the club before graduation. We have 35 members-all really students of some sort of natural science. On Friday, after school, we have our meetings in Room 400. Every other Friday we go to interesting places, such as Shaw's Garden, Kenwood Springs, near-by woods, or other places interesting to the biologist. During our meetings the members give talks on their various interests. To top all the good times we have, the club gives, every term, a picnic outdoors. Boy, I guess you think that isn't fun! Sometimes we have a party. You will never realize how much pleasure you miss if you don't get acquainted with the great outdoors.

MARION ETTE CLUB By 'VERA MCCLAIN The Marionette Club has taken rapid strides to achieve advancement in the art of making inanimate dolls become vibrant and realistic. To be able to pick up a queer-shaped mass of hair and cloth and make it laugh, cry, dance, and sing quickly fascinates one. Every week this term, inspiring talks upon interesting and informative stage craft subjects were given by members and guests of the club. The origin, history, and comparison between marionettes and puppets was made clear by these illustrated speeches. Each member of the club is responsible for the making, dressing, training, and presentation of his doll in the Marionette Revue. During the latter part of December the dolls which are being made by present members will perform on the little stage in Room 403. Opportunity for initiative and individuality is given to the members through the presentation of these skits. Two new members have been added to the club's doll family this term. They are a Chinese shadow puppet. brought from China by a member of the faculty, and a clever monkey from New York. The Marionette Club is becom- ing quite cosmopolitan.

Before a member is admitted to the team, he must master all of these positions. Sometimes it takes several years to become an expert in all four, Most young men think they can shoot a good score with a target riHe because they are good with a sport rifle.

They think it consists in hailing and getting and in being served bg others. However, it consists in giving and in serving others-- The Service Club, composed of E and G students, whose ambition it is to be of some service to the school, carries on, with the above as their motto. There is a variety of types of service the members render. These include Work in the general offices, the library, halls, book and supply rooms, emergency room, and at the senior and new senior parties. The school recognizes these services by the presentation of a pin to those completing a required number of hours of service. This organization was originally the outgrowth of a senior project, but now it carries on projects of its own. It is because of the cooperation of the faculty and students that the club has carried on successfully. 8th-term director 7th-term director 6th-term director 5th-term director 4th-term director 3rd-term director Znd-term director Digest and CADUCEUS Correspondent Sponsor Arno Wulfert Henry Goebel Artis Sassman Rena Lumini Thelma Jolley Marie Hurley Ruth Lammert Ruth Richeson Miss Papendick RIFLE CLUB QContinued from page 99D Wish to join.

So reads the shining caption that suggests our Vilitenagemot debate sessions. These discussions of timely subjects are of great interest to every member of the club. Furthermore, many per- plexities in our minds have been cleared away when we have heard both sides of the questions debated. Those participating in the debates evince a lively enjoyment in the presentation of their points and the rapid fire of spirited rebuttal. Of course, every young debater hopes to improve with each encounter and one day meet his worthy opponents with more ease and telling effect. Just now, even learning to debate has its joys. Our membership is made up of students of the fourth term and terms above. Candidates for membership agree to meet certain requirements in class standing and co-operate in duties of program work. Many enthusiastic new members have come to us this term. Our doors are open to receive others. Regular meetings are held on alternate Tuesdays in Room 318.

For halloufd the turf is which pilloufd his head. This term the members of the Shakespeare Club have taken literary pil- grimages to the land of Shakespeare. They are becoming familiar with the wise and witty sayings of the great poet. Lord, what fools these mortals be. What's in a name, Play out the players, All the world's a stage. and all the men and women merely players, and The quality of mercy is not strained, seem to be favorites. Each year more pupils are asking for membership which is restricted to upper-term students of good scholarship standing. Every five weeks a check is made upon grades of the members. Those unable to maintain the required standing are automatically dropped from the club, The success of Shakespearian productions on the screen has greatly stimulated the interest of the public in these works. Several of the popular plays, such as, Romeo and Juliet, Midsummer Night's Dream, 'AAS You Like It, and One Hundred Three One Hundred Four DUCK CLUB jx- K1l-ik 1 1 N :':.,-,L Julius Caesar, have been studied this term, and scenes from these plays have been given by club members. In addition to the regular work of the club, we have had several interesting talks given by members of the faculty. Miss Fuhlhage made the Stratford country, which she visited last summer, seem very realistic. Members are looking forward to the opportunity to visit this enchanted land. Miss LaBerge described her trip to the Folger Memorial Library in Washington, D. C. Trips to the Art Museum. the Little Theater, and to other places of historical and cultural interest have also been taken. A study of the life of Shakespeare has been made this term. Of special interest was Washington Irving's sketch K'Stratford on Avon, the land of poetical pilgrimages. Y Y Y DUCK CLUB By JULIA BENINCASA You have all heard that opportunity knocks only once, but the chance to have a good time isn't just a knock, knock: it's a fact that can be realized by joining the Duck Club. If you don't believe it, just ask one of the Beaumont Ducks to tell you all about the fun they have swimming once a week. This term the club has decided to hold a play swim once a month, and invite all its members to attend. The purpose of this meeting is to get all the members together and see that they have a good time. An entertainment committee prepares a program for each of these occasions. The club is really divided into three sections, and in order to be on the team, tests from each class must be passed. The beginners' class is composed of those who do not know how to swim. After they are able to swim two lengths of the pool, they become a member of the club and are put into the Baby Duck Class. Tests required for these classes: Baby Duck: To be able to swim two lengths of the pool in both the backstroke and elementary back, and to perform three required dives. Advanced Duck: To be able to swim ten lengths of the pool and to perform several fancy dives, such as the jack-knife and swan dives. If you can pass all these requirements you are then eligible to become a member of the Beaumont Team, which meets every Thursday after school. The team has its own division of work, which includes life-saving and playing different water sports, such as water polo. The Duck Club is always eager to have new members and invites everyone who is interested to join.

For this purpose our sponsor arranges trips to various places of interest, such as the Missouri Training School, Welcome lnn, Hoover- ville, the Chevrolet plant, Pevely milk plant, Hostess Cake factory. Bellefontaine Farm, and WPA Sewing Project. Our sponsor points out and explains the social and economic problems in which we are interested. After each trip, class discussions are held, in which the conditions seen are talked over and the possible solution of the problems considered. Probably the most interesting trip this semester, both entertaining and intellectual, was that to the Missouri Training School, where Dr. Johns gave a talk upon the importance of personality develop- ment and the condition and habits of the inmates. The trips are conducted in an orderly manner, and buses are chartered for trips that take the students outside the city limits. Letters are awarded to those students who show the most interest in club activities.

MOTHERS' CLUB By MRS. WM. C. LOCHMCELLER Are you the mother of a student at Beaumont High School? Are you a member of the community and interested in the activities of the school? If so, why not become a member of the Mothers' Club? Our meetings are held on the Hrst Tuesday of each month at 2:45 in the Music Room, 302, at the school. You will find the programs most interesting and educational. You may hear prominent speakers, outstanding musical artists, and organizations of talented Beaumont students. Then too, Mr. Wilbur N. Fuller, principal of Beaumont, always has a message for the mothers, informative and helpful, many times clearing up situations which could not otherwise be understood. During 1936 the club has contributed some really worth-while things to the students as well as to the school as a whole. The club helped to purchase the colorful robes worn by the Girls' Glee Club. The organization has for a number of years taken active part in helping to increase the funds of the Christmas Carol Association by sponsoring the largest groups of carolers sent out by any individual association. During the spring of the year the annual entertainment is given. On May 21, 1936, A Count at Beaumont was ably presented by a cast of 43 mothers, assisted by the Girls' Novelty Orchestra and a group of dancers from the Girls' Athletic Association. Much enjoyment is derived from associating with one another during the staging of these plays, Since last year was the tenth anniversary of the organization of the Mothers, Club, it seemed Htting to celebrate. April 7 was the day on which a special program was given and all the former ofhcers of the club were the guests of honor, Mothers' and Daughters' Day will long be remembered by the 750 mothers who were entertained by the G. A. A. one afternoon in April. The girls entertained the mothers with a specially arranged program, and then escorted them to the lunchroom where a delightful luncheon was served. The Beaumont Mothers' Chorus is an organization consisting of our members who enjoy singing. Under the able direction of Mr. Ernest Prang Stamm they have progressed rapidly. They participated in the annual enter- tainment and for the second time they will take part in the Christmas program given at the St. Louis Public Library. New members are welcome to the chorus which meets every Tuesday Qexcept the first Tuesday of the month, which is regular club meeting dayj at 2:30 in Room 302. Looking back, the club is proud of its achievements and owes a debt of gratitude to its officers and members for their interest and co-operation: to Mr. Stamm and Miss LaBerge for the fine programs: and to Mr. Fuller, whose aid at all times has been invaluable.

Wz'll your hold ever pall? This sound of ball meeting racket is a sweet song, and exquisite rhapsody to the ears of ardent ping-pongists. For just such enthusiasts as these was Beaumont's own Ping Pong Club organized-for girls to whom the cries of Wrong court - Net ball 4'AMy serve meant somethingfan exciting competitive game. Evidently there were many such girls, for this club has grown by leaps and bounds until today it is one of Beaumont's most out- standing organizations. Entering this year upon its fifth successful season, the club numbers among its members at the present time several future champions of this sport. The girls are truly interested in improving their game and in developing trick serves and returns with which to baffle their opponents: and some of them have become excellent players. As an incentive for improvement, each term the club offers felt emblems to the two girls having the highest number of points. Points are awarded for winning games, attendance, and holding oflice. Ping Pong easily arouses enthusiasm: come out and join us. Perhaps you have hidden talents which need only to be exploited to make you one of the game's most ardent devotees. Who knows?

In our Wednesday afternoon meetings we are making a study of the geology of Missouri, with particular stress upon the geological history of the region around St, Louis. We are not only studying this region in the field but we are also making a permanent collection of the characteristic rocks and fossils of the various formations which outcrop in our vicinity.

The discussions, which are related to science in its every branch, and the trips taken by the club, help show the student the scientific world in which he lives, Last term talks were given by members of the club on sound, perfume, Diesel engines, oxides of carbon, cable laying, and human voices. Demon- strations were also given with the talks. The trips taken last term were very interesting. They were: Kilgen Organ Co. where much was learned by the members, Koch Hospital, Webster Groves High School, Washington University, Swift's Packing Company, and the Power House at Cahokia, Ill. This term the Science Club hopes to reach the peak of progress by initiating a new plan of making working models and plans of some of the topics discussed, in order to have something to show for its work. This idea was adopted this year after seeing the planetarium made by the students at Vkfebster Groves High School. Any student who has at least one year of science is eligible to become a member of this club.

This is far from being true: we members of the Stamp Club have so many reasons for our hobby that it is simply out of the question to try to present them in this article. Some of the world's greatest men collect stamps: for instance, President Roosevelt, James Farley, and the late King George V. Postage stamps have been called beacons of history, for if you study the stamps of a nation, searching for the history molded into the picture or design, you will become acquainted with that nation, its beginning, its great One Hundred Fifteen One Hundred Sixteen GIRLS' HOCKEY CLUB . men and women, and their accomplishments. One of the best examples of historical portraits is shown by the sixteen stamps in the Columbian series of 1893, To you who are beginners, and to you who are veteran collectors, a cordial invitation is extended to come to our club meetings on Thursdays at 2:30 in 204. Short talks on stamps, examining collections, contests, trading, buying, and selling of stamps are the occupations of the club.

Finally, four teams were formed, with the following captains: Team l, Shirley Koenig: Team 2, Marcella Juttemeyer: Team 3, Elaine Schlottmang Team 4, Marjorie Phillips. A two-round tournament was started, in which team Number l seems to be the leader. At the end of the season an all-Beaumont and an alternate team are selected.

MIXED CHORUS By SHIRLEY MILLER The Mixed Chorus is a musical organization that consists of boys and girls mostly above term four. This term the group consists of eighteen boys and sixteen girls, who meet daily in the auditorium the fourth hour. This organi- zation offers musical training and education to those who have ability to carry a part and have an interest in choral work. The aim and goal of the instructor and the group is to sing four part music a capellaf' which means unac- companied, Although the Mixed Chorus is young compared to the other musical groups in Beaumont, it has already proved itself capable on several occasions Where choral work was needed. The club sang on the Virgil program given at Beaumont on December 9, on the Christmas program which was given in the Board of Education Building, and at the Mother's Club Garden Party given at Beaumont in June.

Then come to the library the first and third Thursdays of the month, after school. The idea of our club is to help to enjoy books, not to read merely because a book report is due and an E may be looking you in the eye. We make book reports, yes, but these reports are oral and very, very brief. We criticize the book, and everyone may enjoy himself by saying anything he wishes about his particular book. We read fiction, humor, and biographies, all for pleasure. These books are usually the latest available-right off the press. lf you belong to the club for a year and are on the library staff for a year, you will be awarded an attractive emblem. On the first Thursday we visit at interesting places in the city, and on the third Thursday book reviews are given. Often we have educational speakers.

A group of girls interested in walking organized the Hiking Club back in the old days of Yeatman High School. A few years later the name was changed to the Vwfalking Club, and so it has remained. Proof that the girls must enjoy to the utmost their trips every Thursday after school is the fact that in the last few years it has become necessary to limit the club membership. ln nice weather we visit Shaw's Botanical Garden, Bissell's Point, Fields Home, and other such places of interest, ln winter we go to the Auditorium, White's Bakery, Pevely Dairy, the Museum and other places suggested by the committee. The high-light of each term is some special fun-giving trip, as a Wiener roast. The girls roast wieners and marshmallows and round out thexafternoon with games, each competing eagerly for the prize. These are the never-to-be- forgotten afternoons. Each trip entitles a member to five points in G. A. A. credits.

That's it, chess. Everyone has heard of it, but not all have played it. This is a very interesting, entertaining, and exciting game. Since it had its origin in the Far East some have the idea that it is a hard, complicated game. If you still have your doubts whether or not it is somewhat diflicult, drop in Room 230 some Tuesday afternoon when you have plenty of time to spare and see for yourself just how it is played and how very simple the rules are. Another successful term is again ahead of the Chess Club, since all of the members are cooperating to their fullest extent in endeavoring to make the club stand out as one of the most active in the school. Under the watchful guidance and instructions of Mr. Kanazireff and several older members, the beginners are quickly picking up the game and should be able, in time, to give the older members some strong competition. The game of chess is more popular in Russia, England, and Germany than in other countries. The Americans until recent years were too busy building up the country to take up a game like chess. But now, though comparatively young in this country, it is fast taking hold and is becoming the most played foreign game in the Western Hemisphere.

The trio was organized this term and is composed of Janice Schwartz, Mary Rose Ostermeyer, and Lora Stone, with Betty Crawford as accompanist. Under the direction of Miss McLaughlin, the trio has sung for an educational convention and has entertained at several Junior Chamber of Commerce broadcasts. The success of the above mentioned group has encouraged the formation of a second trio consisting of Fannie Kelso, Virginia Votan, and Eloris Deuser. Preparations are already being made for the operetta that is to be presented late in April. Once every five weeks, each member of the club must sing a solo, in order that talent may be discovered.

Well, I had in mind the Math Club. I've heard plenty about that organization, Fred. It sounds interesting. Who's the sponsor? Miss Eitzen used to be, but since her illness Miss Shryock has taken over the club. Well, that's too bad, but Miss Shryock ought to make a good sponsor, too. But I wonder if we are eligible. Yes, we are, we've both had at least six terms of math. I know Roy Phelps, the president of the club. Nice guy, Phelps. Yes, and Norma McKiddy is vice president: Mary Johnson is secretary, Oscar Muskopf, treasurer, and Betty Crawford, CADUCEUS Correspondent, With those people as officers, that club ought to be dandy. I wonder what they do. I suppose they learn about the slide rule. Say, I wonder how that thing works. It always has puzzled me. A'Me, too. Roy says they also learn about figures, calculations, graphs, hieroglyphics-anything you want. W ' L i'Well, I've made up my mind.

No doubt, this accounts for the increasing number of students seeking membership in the Camera Club. Because of the diversity of photography, there are always new fields which amateurs may undertake, thus retaining a lively and progressive spirit in the organization. New members are taught how to develop and print in the club's well-equipped dark room, after which time they are expected to do their work at home. However, all members have access to the club's enlarger at all times. Everyone is required to bring in a minimum of four pictures a month. Several exhibits are held during the school term, affording an opportunity for the members to display their work. The pictures are judged by the club or by some member or members of the faculty. In addition to the exhibits, engaging field trips are planned which include a tour through a modern photo-finishing studio whereby the club may get a view of how photo-finishing is conducted on a large professional scale. Inter- esting programs are also to be given on various phases of photography. For the first time, the club this term is considering the buying of a large camera with which the more proficient members can take pictures of school life that might appeal to Beaumont students. lContinued on page l4lj One Hundred Thirty-nine One Hundred Forty SKATTNG CLUB BOYS x x I J J- 3 3 i - - 11- - ' -1 BOYS' SKATING CLUB By KENNETH DEDDENS The Boys' Skating Club has increased in popularity each year sinceiits beginning five years ago, All boys in Beaumont High School, who like to ice- skate, are invited to join. Membership entitles the individual to skate at the Winter Garden on Friday afternoons at reduced rates, and enables him to skate with many of his friends. The opportunity to become acquainted is extended to members of the Girls' Skating Club, who also skate at the Winter Garden on Fridays. At the end of each year the club sponsors a special activity in the form of a free skate, a picnic. or outing of some kind. Last June the Boys' and Girls' Skating Clubs enjoyed an all day outing at Cedar Lake. Swimming, tennis, hiking, and an abundance of food were enjoyed. Exposure to the sun proved too much for the backs and shoulders of skaters accustomed to sweaters. The outing was long remembered.

It will be a bright future for the youth of today if they are prepared to make it so. You are the men of the future: you must PREPARE to make the most of the future-OF YOUR FUTURE. PREPARE FOR IT: Prepare! Prepare for what? For what the future holds. Are we beginning to realize that there are things of such worth that they cannot be rated in terms of dollars and cents, that the word Success does not begin with a dollar sign, but that it depends upon the usefulness and effectiveness of our lives? And through all the ages the educated man has been the effective man. EDUCATION AND TRAINING: Yes, we need technically trained men, but the recent past has taught us that we cannot hope to carry on even in a mechan- ized civilization without the thinker, the man who is capable of preventing the maladjustments which the merely technically trained specialist is so likely to create. The lawyer, the doctor, the teacher, the dentist, the banker, the financier, the professional man in any field you choose is so much the better lawyer, doctor, teacher, banker and so on, if in addition to his professional training he is an educated man. EDUCATION AND COURAGE: Surely the future will be brighter if in the face of our present-day depressioneintellectual rather than economic-and in reply to the false prophets of the dissolution of our Western culture, we can raise up a group of intellectual and courageous young men and women eager to re-assert and strive for the right objectives of civilization and culture and human effort. But for this we must have many more liberally educated men. EDUCATION AND EFFECTIVENESS: The liberally educated man is the effective man, who, as Newman says in his Idea of a University, is at home in any society,-has a common ground with every class,--knows when to speak and when to be silent:--can ask a question pertinently, and gain a lesson seasonablyf' Is there not a lack today of men who have that education which teaches them to see things as they are, to go right to the point, to dis- entangle a skein of thought, to detect what is sophistical, and to discard what is irrelevantu? In fine, Newman's idea of a University education must come to be more fully appreciated. We need more men whose education prepares them to fill any post with credit and to master any subject with facility. THE THINKER: It is strange that we have lost sight, to a great extent, of so seemingly elementary a principle. It is strange we have thought that almost any type of specialized technical training could form the background for a successful and effective man's life. The future, if it is to be bright, must be dominated more and more by educated men, by thinkers equipped in literature and the classics and philosophy, in the social sciences, history and sociology, political science and economics, and all that goes to make up the liberal culture of an advanced civilization. ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY: This is the type of man the future just ahead of us is demanding. This is the type of educational preparation which is given in the COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES AT ST. LOUIS UNIVERSITY. ASK YOU TO PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS One Hundred Fifty-three I C 1 -eqlgeaa I iii ALL IN A DAY By CHARLOTTE HIGH I woke up so cross, With the sun in my eyes.
