Our four years of high school may be compared to the work of building a ship, and our Commencement Day to the long awaited day on which the ship is launched. The launching of a ship marks the begin- ning of its life on the sea, and so we, too, after graduation, start on our maiden voyage of life. Some will go on to college: others will begin careers in various lields, but just as the success or failure of a ship's voyage is dependent upon the material and workmanship used in its construction, so much of our success or failure in life's voyage will depend upon the preparation and training received in high school. No matter how well the ship may be constructed. without a compass it could never reach its destination. In like manner, we shall use the splendid ideals that Beaumont has given us as our compass. When a ship is launched, it is bedecked with colors. We, likewise, have selected colors-mariner blue, rose and white. Mariner blue expresses our loyalty to Beaumont and its traditions, rose symbolizes courage and strength and white stands for our high ideals. As we prepare and plan for our graduation, we wish to thank Miss Quell- malz and Mr. Hall for the helpful assistance they have given us as our sponsors. Without their capable leadership, the class of January, 1939 would have found it more difficult to live up to the standards left by former classes.

At last, after three happy years of school life we are nearing the final lap on our journey of education. We have reached an important stepping-stone to that all important goal-graduation! The officers chosen by the class to lead us and to make this, our final year, the happiest one, are the following: President Elmer Aschmeyer Secretary Marjorie Blattner Treasurer Bill Loser CADUCEUS Correspondent Catherine Dietrich Digest Correspondent Lawson Ray The first new-senior party was, to quote all those present, really swell . We are looking forward with eager anticipation to the parties in the future, knowing that with a class such as ours a good time is assured. To Miss Parks, our sponsor, we offer our admiration and appreciation for the splendid manner in which she has responded to the responsibilities and duties that are demanded of her. .

SHE STOOPS TO CONQUERH VIRGINIA LOGAN AND ROSEMARY KEANE Ever since its first appearance on the English stage in 1773, She Stoops to Conquer, by Oliver Goldsmith, has met with tremendous success. Our production of it on December 2 was no exception. Under the auspices of Miss Anne Warner members of the senior and new-senior classes put on this comedy before a full house. How the audience smiled at the vanity of Mrs. Hardcastle 4Ruth Barriozj, how they chuckled at the embarrassment of Christopher Marlow U-Xrthur Meckfessell, and how they laughed at the antics of Tony Lumpkin fRobert Pollock? I Since it was the custom of that time for a father to arrange the marriage of his daughter, Mr. Hardcastle CAndrew Chervenakj invited Mr. Marlow to his home to meet his daughter Kate CJune McMahonj. When Marlow and his friend Hastings fGeorge Durbinl, who is in love with Miss Neville CCatherine Mclinightj, stop at an ale-house to inquire about lodging, Tony, whose devilish pranks are a constant source of amusement, directs them to his own home as to an inn. Imagine Marlow's chagrin when he finds out his Forty-eight CADUCEUS mistake in thinking Mr. Hardcastle an innkeeper and Kate a barmaid. Never- theless, all ends happily when Kate and Marlow become engaged and when Hastings is again united with his beloved Miss Neville. We owe much credit for our success to Miss Warner, Whose splendid coach- ing and kind understanding were received and appreciated by each and every member of the cast. The comical antics of Andy Chervenak, Art Meckfessel, George Durbin, and many others off-stage, as well as on, served to ease the tension caused by hard work at rehearsals. Phrases and customs from this period were taken up by various members of the cast, and it was no uncommon sight at dress rehearsal to see George Durbin suddenly lunge at someone with his sword and cry, l'll run you through the gizzardf' The play could never have been put on so effectively were it not for the efficient help of the prompters, stage technicians, the make-up committee, and the orchestra.

Marian Davis LITERATURE CADUCEUS WE CALL IT SWING TOMMY CLEMENS X LTHOUGH many epidemics have swept our country, none has left a truly lasting mark on our life as a nation: but now one has come to our land which has thoroughly upset the old order of things. It has brought forth a phraseology of its own and describes itself in a manner which nothing can come near equalling. The plague, disease, curse, blight, awakening, or what you will has been given several names, such as swing , jam , smokey-joe , and innumerable others Cused by tin-ears D which may not be printedfk It used to be that young boys had a desire to grow up and become cowboys, policemen, or maybe doctors: but today we of the younger generation sit around chewin' a licorice stick, hammerin' a woodpile, or slappin' a doghouse. fSee glossary below.D It has been said that at the next national election the king of killer-dillers, Benny Goodman, will run for the presidency on a straight Swing ticket, and with every jitter-bug in these United States behind him-well, who knows? We may have a cat for our President. Of course, every great movement is opposed by some dissenting factor: the Republicans have the Democrats: the A. F. L. has the C. I. O.: and the united cats and alligators have the tin-ears. It is not their fault, for they can't help being corny. The fact that they are long underwear is no reason to con- demn them, for some day they, too, may become hep. ' But many authorities claim that the downfall of swing may come, not through the poor ignorant tin-ears, but through the weakness of our own kind who haven't the true spirit of the jitterbug. This threat is the well-meaning icky . The icky may make or break the rule of swing, but let none speak against the icky, for he wishes to be as hep as alligators but he just hasn't the opportunity to learn the secrets of swing that are afforded the true jitterbug. Swing hasn't a term really to describe those who like to take their swing with a grain of salt. Among these is your informant, who, although really interested in swing and not a tin-ear or icky, just isn't quite yet at the stage where swing sends him out of the world. Swing is worming its way out of the dance-hall and into every other establishment in the nation, but if it gets into our legislature and makes cats, jitterbugs, and ickies of our senators and congressmen, what will the harvest be? Undoubtedly our language will be made over by this new rage, but what of a foreign boy or girl who receives a letter from a correspondent in one of our high schools? Who'll tell him that a jitterbug is not a nervous insect. and that a rug-cutter is not one who mutilates furniture. Imagine his amaze- ment at the term slush pump l Let us listen to a couple of jitterbugs jiving. The first says, Last night I was at a jam session, and am I whipped up! Later on, just for a laugh, some of us went and heard that new orchestra that plays all that schmaltz stuff. Boy, did the fuzzy shoes flock around 'em though! ' Yeah, I know, returns the other: they all ought'a be nixed out. But you should'a seen the bunch over at Bill's last night, when that one cat took a ride on his licorice stick. Did we go out of the world, whyln Licorice stick! out of the world! schmaltz! I'm goin-g to quit while I have my sanity. 'Glossary on page 55 Fifty-two I CADUCEUS IN THE LAST ACT ROBERT FONTINELLE OOKS like a storm, Captain. Hadn't we better cut the last act a Q5 bit? We don't want any of the audience in the boat if anything should happen. Why, yes, I guess you had better cut a bit. I'll be up in the pilot-house if you want me. If anything goes wrong be sure to let me know. What with the river rising and everything, we can't take any chances. The showboat seemed to hug the bank for protection. Nestled against the shore, the little vessel seemed insignificant as compared with the huge bank of clouds rising along the horizon. Lightning zig-zagged out of the sky. thunder rolled, and suddenly the storm broke with all its fury. Inside the boat the audience stirred restlessly. The actors hurried through their lines, trying not to let the crowd feel the excitement they felt. The spectators must be kept calm at all costs. The last act was on. The villain, Ivan Gordon, stood in the center of the stage, twirling his mustache in customary fashion. Cedric Fallon, who played the part of the hero, was tied to a chair at the side of the stage. At his feet lay Marcella Martin, the heroine, imploring him to save her from her fate. The villain was speaking: Ah ha! My proud beauty. Do you not know that time will change you? Your beautiful blond locks will turn to grey, your blue eyes appear washed out and faded, you. . . CRACK! There was a noise like a shot from a pistol. The boat gave a quick forward lurch. The people screamed in terror of the unknown. On the stage the hero threw off his bonds. Suddenly the door at the back of the auditorium flew open and a dripping figure appeared. The boat's broken loose! ' The crowd became panic striken. For once the old adage, The show must go on, was not carried out. One reason was that Ivan, the villain, had disappeared. As Cedric turned to leave the stage he noticed Ivan's absence. With a questioning look he turned to Marcella, who pointed off to the right of the stage. The curtain was rung down, and a frightened piano player started to pound out Bye-Bye Blues. Meanwhile, back stage, Cedric was talking to Captain Bill. I'm afraid Ivan has broken at last. I knew he was heading for a break- down but-. Yes, answered the Captain, I know. I-Ie passed me on the guard. I didn't stop him. I thought perhaps he had some important business. The pusher boat is trying to head us for the opposite bank. I sure hope we make it before we get near Bleaker's Rock. The current heads straight for the reef there. If we don't miss the reef, well--. You think we don't have a chance? Oh I wouldn't say that, but our chances look mighty slim. What's that? Interspersed with the. roll of thunder a wild melody was coming from outside. The Funeral March! gasped the Captain. Fifty-three 1 CADUCEUS Ivanl exclaimed Cedric. He's at the calliope. I've got to stop him. The audience will be panic-stricken. With a wrench Cedric flung open the door and stepped out into the Storm. The rain beat at his face like needles, the wind tore at his clothing. Slowly he made his way across to the pusher boat. Even more slowly he ascended the stairs to the top deck. At the caliope stood Ivan. His hair blew about his face in utter confusion. His eyes gleamed wildly in the flickering flashes of lightning. Surrounded with the steam from the instrument, he appeared like some embodiment of Satan himself. Ivan, shouted Cedric above the roar of the storm, stopI Ivan turned like a beast at bay, No, no, I want to play, to play, you hear? Ha, ha, ha. Stop, I say! With a wild cry Ivan turned and, knocking Cedric over as he rushed by, lurched down the stairs and was gone. Cedric jumped to his feet. As he got up he happened to glance down-stream. There directly in the path of the boat, gleaming like some gigantic tooth, was Bleaker's Rock! Madly he turned and dashed down the stairs. Just as he reached the bow of the pusher boat they struck. There was a terrible grinding crash, and the two boats were perched precariously upon the rock. Cedric regained his feet, from which he had been knocked by the crash, and hurried to the stage door. Ciripping a lantern that was handy-the power-plant had failed long ago-he hurried out on the stage. i'Attention! He shouted to the scrambling, screaming crowd. The ushers had barricaded the door and were keeping the audience from plunging out to their own death. Ladies and gentlemen! The crowd grew silent. There is no danger if you remain calm. Now if you will all pass in order to the bow you will be assigned to life-boats. There are plenty for all: so there is no need for haste. Cedric hurried up to the pilot-house aboard the show-boat, where he found Captain Bill gathering together valuable papers. I told the crowd the life-boats were being made ready. Have you started lowering them yet? Yes, I knew you'd make the announcement as soon as you saw we'd hit. See that all get safely ashore. I'1l be down in a few moments. The next fifteen minutes were a nightmare to Cedric. Swiftly but care- fully he loaded men, women, and children into the boats and shoved them off one by one, each in the hands of one of the crew. Finally all the audience were off. With a last look at his vessel, as a father might look at the grave of his son, Captain Bill entered the last boat and shoved off. As if sensing she was deserted, the showboat gave a shudder. Then she slowly slid off the reef and started down the river. Her seams were open and her keel was pierced by a huge hole. The pusher was also sinking, but more slowly. Suddenly Cedric shouted in astonishment. A figure appeared upon the deck of the pusher, crossed to the calliope and started to play. Weirdly, horribly the strains of the Funeral March drifted across the muddy water. Maybe we can reach him, shouted Cedric, bending to the oars. UNO, I'm afraid not, said Captain Bill: see, she's going down. Fifly-four CADUCEUS Slowly, majestically the showboat began to sink. Ivan played on. The pusher boat, drawn down by the show-boat, to which it was attached, began to sink faster. The water reached the fires, and the playing stopped. The boat sank lower and lower. The last thing that Cedric saw before the boat dis- appeared around the bend was Ivan sitting, outlined against the lightning's glare, atop the pilot-house. As Cedric turned to the oars he murmured, The last act.' Then he began to pull toward the shore. Continued from page 52 A GLOSSARY OF SWING TERMS Alligator: a true swing fan.

Course thar's some fellers that seem to be just perfect, but chances are ten to one that they got some faults and that all you I U have to do is sorta hang around a bit to find it out. Some fellers' faults is laziness and a-spendin' money. Others' is always a-goin' to dances and shows and sech. Wal, I got a weakness maself, but it haint none a those that I done telled ya about. It's got me in heaps a trouble too. If ya like I'll tell ya about it. Down in Prairie Hill where I lives fPa runs the general store and Ma takes in washes and I do odd jobs about town, when I can't get out of itj. I am a pretty upstanding figure. When I was a young 'un QI haint so old now, only eighteen, and Pa's gonna get me a pair of shoes this winterj I grew awful fond o' music. I was a regular life of the party at the dances. There warn't nobody to hold a candle to me when I got started. Lessen it was Simon, the undertaker's son. I got awful fond o' one tune, that was By Heck . Every time I heered it my feet got to tappin' and if I didn't get up and dance I about died. It got wuss and wuss as I got older till finally when I heered By Heck I jest dropped everything and started to dance. I usta go to all the dances and have scrumptious times. I USTA, but one night Ii-. Well, I'll tell ya the story. Ya see the church was gonna have a big ice-cream sociable and dance Friday night, and everybody could come so long as ya paid a dollar into the church fund. Ya see they was gonna build a new church up the hollar and needed buildin' funds. Well, I got my dollar in early and all I hadda do was to ax a gal ta go with me. I finally got up enough gumption and Sunday sat right side a Audrey in church and I-I-axed her to go with me. And she said yes! I was feelin' swell and run all the way home and milked the cows and slopped the hogs and worked so gosh awful fast as how Pa said that I must be in love. Wal, the days rolled along so slow I sorta got ta thinkin' that Friday would never come. But it did. That night I got my chores done early. Then I slickered myself up fit ta kill. I put b'ar's grease on my hair and wore my new red pants and shirt. Pa said I looked like a city feller but I guess he was exaggeratin'. I even combed ma hair. Ma said as how I'd die, but I reckoned not. Then I hitched up old Dobbin to the wagon and started down a'ter Audrey. I got to the house in plenty of time. She only lives four miles down from us, jest over tha hill. I went up the walk a-kickin' the chickens off and run the hog offen the porch so I could knock on the door. I felt nervous and all over goose pimples, kinda like ya do when ya go through a grave-yard on Holler-ween. Finally I heered somebody a comin' and Audrey opened the door and asked me to come in and wait a bit ffor, just like a woman, she warn't readyj, but I was skeered and 'lowed as how I'd water the horse. She didn't know I'd watered him in the branch half mile down the road. Purty soon she came out a-lookin' so sweet and pretty in a calico dress with fancy stuff around the neck and arms. She clumb inta the wagon and I whipped up Dobbin and we rattled off ta town. The moon was all bright Fifty-six CADUCEUS and purty and shinin' and And kept scoochin' over near me. But I kept a movin'. By the time we got to town I was almost outa the wagon. Guess she was nervous or sumpin'. The town hall was all lit up with 'lectric lights and had colored paper hung around the roof. They was a band there from the city too. They had some funny instruments likes o' which I never seed before. One feller had a fiddle so big that he couldn't hold it under his chin like he orter but had to let it sit on the ground and stand up ta play it! Wal when I come in the door I swelled up like our old turkey-gobbler usta. CWe ate him last Thanksgivin'. Boy, was he goodll Audrey was the best lookin' gal in them parts and I was sure proud it was ME a-bringin' her to the party. I could see the t'other fellers was just apple-green with envy, and it sorta made me feel good ta know it. Wal, we went around a-shakin' hands like folks do and talkin' about the weather and the crops and all that sort of mush that folks will. Then all a-sudden the band started ta play. I grabbed Aud and started a-dancin'. Old Silas Raymer called the figures and he really had us a-goin' some. We went through one dance a'ter another. Purty soon I felt so tired I like ta drop. I guess Aud felt the same. About then they had a sort of recess like the kids have down at school. I hear their a-gonna have a new teacher this year. I thought old Widow Quinn was a-doin' fine but I guess they want one a these here modern teachers with short hair and sech. Wal, anyhow they started a-servin' ice cream. I guess Aud was sorta hot, or else her eyes hurt, 'cause she asked me ta come out on the lawn and eat. Wal, I did. When we got outside she picked a nice purty place ta sit down in. It was under a tree and they was purty flowers a-bloomin' all around. I told her the flowers was purty, like her, and she got all red. It sorta scared me so I shut up so as not ta say suthin that would make her do it agin'. She was still nervous and kept a scoochin . Then she said she was a-gittin' cold. I told her I'd go get the blanket I use ta cover the horse with out a the wagon, but she said I didn't need ta. She said all I had ta do was-was Gosh!-put my arm around her, and I-I-. Now don't you fellers make fun a' me.-- I did! Then she looked at me like a dyin' duck in a hail storm, and she says, Bud , she says, don't you hear how that apple tree is a-sighin' and a-moanin' for us? A I said, Audrey, if you was as full of little green apples as that tree, you'd do some sighin' and moanin' yourself. Just then the music started to play. And yes, sir, they was a-playin' By Heck. Wal, I jumped up and lit out fur the hall. Aud hollered at me, but I couldn't stop. I got in there and started dancin'. I danced one dance: then they played By Heck over and I danced agin'. Then they played it agin'. I noticed some of the fellers that was jealous of me a-bringin' Aud was a-laughin' over in the corner. I guess they was happy 'bout somethin' but I don't know what it was. Then the feller a-wavin' the stick fur the players kept a grinnin' and a-lookin' at the fellers in the corner. He had somethin' in his eye so I don't see what he had to grin about. I know A Fifty-seven CADUCEUS he had somethin' in his eye 'cause it kept a-blinkin'. Wal, they played By Heck twelve times and I danced twelve dances. Finally I got so tired I just laid down on the dance floor and went ta sleep. When I woke up it was mornin' and the birds outside was a-singing' and a-chirpin' all happy. I was sorta worried about Audrey and a-wonderin' if she got home all right. I got up a-feelin' stiff all over and walked out to the wagon. I clumb in and started down the road towards Audrey's. When I got there I knocked on the door. Real sudden I hear footsteps a-soundin' sorta angry like. Then And opened the door. Her black eyes was a-flashin' fire and she looked mad as a wet hen. I thought maybe I woke her up or suthin. I'm sorry I didn't get ta take ya home, I said. Would ya like to go dancin' at the corners with me next Saturday? Wal, she got an inch taller and I'm sure I saw lightnin' flash outin her eyes. I don't care to go anywhere with you anytime, Bud Burdockf' And then she slammed the door in my face. I walked down the steps, got into the wagon, and started home. On the way I sorta got ta thinkin' I guess. I guess she was mad 'cause I didn't take her home. Hain't that funny? Then she was nervous that night and cold. I guess I shoulda got the horse blanket anyway. I might know when a woman says No she means Yes Then too, I guess I was a sight a-takin' up the dance floor for twelve hull dances. And I must a' broke up the dance when I went ta sleep on the floor. I don't see why they played By Heck so many times fur anyway. I wonder if somebody coulda been playin' a trick on me? I guess there aint no under- standin' women at all, Yep, it seems as if By Heck was my weakness. But I won't let it get the best o' me agin, Whats that? There's a band a-playin'. There a playin' By Heck . I can't stay I gotta be a-goin'. Hey, fellers, here I come. Keep on a-playin' By Heck. iv 4-ui l Fifty-eight 'F CADUCEUS THE. CLOWN ROBERT FONTINELLE -' HE small dressing-tent was quiet, very quiet. The faint rustling of V- -:X the costumes stirred by the breeze which blew through the entrance, a was the only sound. On a cot near the rear of the tent lay a young woman dressed in silk tights. A spangled cloak, fallen from her shoulders, lay on the sawdust- covered ground. By her side stood a kind-faced elderly man who held a watch in one hand and her wrist in the other. Kneeling by the woman's side was another man, dressed in a gaudy red-flowered shirt and huge baggy trousers, his face painted with a huge smile. Darling, he whispered, you'll be all right: I know you will. A tear rolled down his grease-paint covered cheek. 1 Yes, she said, in a weak voice, I'll be all right: it Wasn't a bad fall. She coughed and her whole body shook. The doctor tapped him on the shoulder. Don't tire her, he cautioned. A small boy rushed in between the guy ropes and dashed under the side wall which was raised to permit more of the breeze to enter. You're on, he said, and dashed out. I can't go, I can't. He turned desperately to the doctor. Yes- gasped the woman on the cot, yes, you can-please. Heavy-hearted, he stumbled through the darkness towards the splendid glitter of the big top. He looked up past the huge, faint outline of the tent, past the glittering lights, and his lips formed a prayer. Then he hurried on to the big top. As he stood waiting for his entrance he glanced up at the trapeze suspended in the dim, lofty heights. His wife had fallen from that very trapeze but a few short minutes before. But now the act was over. Silently, the performers trooped past him. Karl, the lion trainer, patted him on the back. Buck up, he encouraged. You're a clown. You iss to make de people laugh. Smile, smile! The band swung into his entrance music. He walked to the center of the ring. Automatically he made his queer, mirth-provoking bow. What was that Karl had said? Smile? He tried, but it was oh so hard. She's dying, she's dying. That one thought beat in his brain. The ringmaster took his place, the ponies trotted in. Round and round the ring they circled. He tensed himself for a leap. Then he tightened his muscles and flew through the air to land astride-the ringmaster! The audience roared. The ringmaster chased him round the ring. He got among the ponies, who kept him trotting along with them. Then suddenly he somersaulted and landed astride one of the little animals. He stood up and started round the ring: then the pony bucked and he fell to the ground. Again the audience roared in glee. Like some mechanical toy he went through the rest of the act. At last it was over. Amid the cheers of the crowd he dashed from the big top. The finale would come in a few moments, but he had time. He dashed past the long line of bulls past the cat cages, to the small dressing-tent. Fifty-nine CADUCEUS At the entrance he stopped, stunned. The doctor was gently pulling a sheet over her face. He swayed, staggered to her side, fell to his knees. Fever- ishly he clutched her hand, held it to his lips. Tears rolled down his cheeks Suddenly he heard the loud, clear strains of the band. The finale was startingl He was on. He rose to his feet, hesitated. Yes, she would want him to go on. He stumbled out of the dressing-tent, dashed through the night and into the big top. Around him was a sea of faces, but in his eyes there was only one face-being covered by a sheet. He picked up his baton, signalled to his mimic band and they started round the ring. The audience laughed, cheered, but the clown's eyes were misty, and tears rolled down his painted cheeks and fell unheeded to the ground. -5 I.

The rain fell A 3 in a steady, endless sheet which hid everything from sight. Bob drove slowly up the long, steep hill. He had worked late and his eyelids felt heavy from loss of sleep. To his right were the dark, dripping trees: to his left gleamed here and there the dull whiteness of the tomb-stones of the cemetery which bordered the side of the road. He peered through the windshield at the narrow ribbon of road revealed by the lights of his car. Suddenly he slammed on his brakes. A figure was standing under- neath a huge oak and was beckoning him to stop. He saw that it was a girl. A girl, alone, in the rain, at five o'clock in the morning? She must have lost her way. As the car came to a halt he rolled down the window. Anything wrong? he inquired, squinting his eyes against the rain in an endeavor to get a better look at her face. She came out from underneath the tree and toward the car. As she came closer he noticed she was young, about seventeen or eighteen, he judged. She was dressed in a yellow blouse and blue skirt, without any protection against the rain. As she came up to the side of the car he could distinguish her features. Her long dark brown hair hung about her pale face. She had a rather pleasing Hgure, well-proportioned. A very beautiful girl, was his conclusion. Her full red lips formed an inquiry, or rather a command. You will take me to the top of the hill. It was then that he noticed her eyes. They were brown, dark brown. They seemed to burn into his very soul. Sure, he stammered. She got into the car alongside him. He shifted gears and started up the hill. Do you live around here? he asked. I used to, she replied. I still do-in a way. Bob turned and gave her a puzzled glance. There was something peculiar about her, something he couldn't quite fathom. Something about her manner, her eyes. Her eyes! That was it. He was suddenly conscious of them fixed intently upon him. The silence was becoming unbearable. Who are you? fl-Ie had almost said whatj What's your name? he asked. It really doesn't matter, she said, but if you want to know, it's Doloresif' A streak of lightning blazed across the sky. The thunder rolled and boomed with a deafening roar. Er, ah! Bob stammered. The interruption had broken his chain of thought. Unheeding, the girl continued. I haven't visited my old home for a long time and thought tonight a Htting time to pay a visit. Sixty-one CADUCEUS FittingI thought Bob. He gazed through the window at the storm- tossed trees and the falling rain. You should have worn some wrap, he said. My visit was unplanned, she replied. Again he felt those eyes upon him. He could feel them searching, prying into his mind, beating at his very brain, burning into his soul---. Stop it! he screamed, slamming on the brakes, Don't look at me like that. She smiled, disclosing a dimple in her right cheek and revealing white, even teeth, What is the trouble? she said, putting her hand on his arm. He looked down at the hand, small, well-shaped with long delicate fingers. On the little finger was a small gold ring set with a bloodstone. Then he noticed the long, crimson nails. Suddenly they dug into his arm. Again he looked deep into those horrible burning eyes. Drive, came the command. ' Slowly, as if hypnotized, he shifted gears and started on up the hill. The rain was abating: looking into the east, he could distinguish the first faint streaks of dawn. Then, rounding a turn, he came in sight of the house which stood on the crest of the hill. He turned to tell the girl that they had reached their destination. The seat was empty! He gasped. Impossible! Confused, he felt of the empty seat: it was still wet from the rain off her clothes. Jamming his foot on the accelerator, he roared up the hill, screeched to a halt in front of the house. He mounted the steps in a bound and hammered frantically at the door. A few moments' wait: then an old man opened the door a crack. Yes? he asked. He was very old with silvery hair and deep sad eyes, earnest and searching. Bob looked at his eyes: they were dark brown. He grasped the door jam for support. The memory of those other eyes-. Yes, repeated the old man as he opened the door still wider. Bob hesitated, finally he asked, Does a girl live here, a young girl with brown hair, dark brown eyes -he shuddered- her name is Dolores? The old man looked intently at Bob's pale face. Then in a strange tone, he spoke. HA girl like that used to live here, but she died three years ago. She's buried in the cemetery down the road, Why? Did you know her? FX? 2. . .H r, . . Sixty-two CADUCEUS HITS AND MISSES GENE MCDOWELL GROUP of frolicsome and zealous boys all under the age of seventeen EQ! F train was scheduled to leave They were taking no chances of being left behind. Oh, no! Not after working so hard to win the state and regional American Legion baseball championships at Kansas City, Missouri, and Wheeling, West Virginia, to say nothing of the hard-fought-for city championship. And now, before starting out for the national play-offs they were to be treated, with all expenses paid, to a grand and glorious tour of several states. 7? c arrived at the railroad station at least two hours ahead of the time the I . . . While our friends are waiting for the train to pull in, let us give them a general looking-over. There, sitting on his suitcase is Neil, a very excellent center-fielder. In that group over by the sandwich counter are Orville, left- fielder, Gene, short-stop and captain, and Hawk , second-baseman. Bill, the right-fielder, is standing with the three Georges, two of whom are pitchers and the other a catcher. This about completes the team, except for a few who have not arrived yet. It wasn't long before the train arrived and the boys found first-class Pull- man accommodations waiting for them. This naturally afforded some thrill, but the real fun came after dark. It was then that Bill, Gene, and two of the Georges who had been assigned upper berths decided that they would rather occupy lower berths and accordingly moved in. When a situation of this sort arises among a group of sixteen-year-olds, there is nothing to do but simply fight it out with the nearest weapon, which in this case happened to be none other than the lowly pillow. It was a good fight, with feathers flying and boys rolling and struggling in the aisle-until the conductor arrived. How were they expected to know that the old duffer was a pacifist? After this grand uprising the first stop of the promised tour was reached. This was Cincinnati, where their first impression was of the exquisite beauty of the railroad terminal. The dome-like ceiling was composed of bits of colored glass laid in perfect form to illustrate the growth of the city and the struggle of its pioneers. The other outstanding points of interest were the excessive amount of night-clubs, negroes, and beautiful girls. From Cincinnati the tour continued through many cities, one of the most interesting of which was Washington, D. C. Here they saw the Capitol building and the making of stamps and money. The tour continued much the same as any other sight-seeing jaunt until they reached Charlotte, North Carolina, where the first game of the national play-off was to be held. Yes, it was held, but only after six long days of waiting. And what was going on in the meantime? Well, after all, a whole team of boys under seventeen years of age can't be expected to sit around all day for six days with their hands folded. Anyway, it was a great temptation, with their windows six floors above the sidewalks, a practically limitless supply of paper bags, and a faucet. Some excellent shots were made, too, until that nosey house detective asked who was going to pay for the cleaning and pressing of that gentleman's suit. , Did this put a damper on the boys' spirits? It did not. The girls in Charlotte were unbelievably pretty, and who can play his best when he knows Sixty-three CADUCEUS a pretty girl is waiting for him at the close of the game? To put it bluntly and with no fancy frills-they lost. What an end to a glorious vacation that had taken them through sixteen states and had covered more than three thou- sand miles! Oh, well! Boys will be boys, and maybe they will get a chance to play for the national championship next year. ONE MEETS SUCH PEOPLE DONOVAN GRIFFITH gkQg OTHING can so poignantly evoke a want of fellowship as the many hours of continuous travel alone on a bus. Here is found the most Evil? democratic of atmospheres. In but a few hours people may become J the most intimate friends, although they may never be known to each other by any other names than Vancouver, Frisco, Arkansas, or whatever place they might hail from . Having had the opportunity to do a great deal of traveling in this manner, I have met many people who have enriched my memories. I find also that each bus has among its passengers a repre- sentative of each of the same types of people. I recall one of my fellow passengers, a one-armed Creek Indian. He was typically Indian, but incongruous to his appearance was his hill-billy manner of speech. Although he gave his name, the absolute impossibility of its being pronounced by anyone other than an Indian, led the passengers to dub him Big Chief or Wahoo . His main feature of attraction was his knack of rolling cigarettes with one hand. He told us many tales of the days when he and his daddy were Umoonshinin' in the hills of eastern Oklahoma. Yes sir! he said, them revenooers was shore bad! One day right arter the still blew up-that was when I lost mah arm-the gov'ment men came 'round, but they wa'nt no ev'dence. I guess we got the better of 'em that time! Another fellow passenger whom I remember well I met while going from Kansas City to St. Louis. At first sight she appeared to be rather austere but soon fell into spirit of the others. On inquiring on her name, she replied, Just call me K. C. She spoke of her uncle, Tom Brown. He is purported to have worked on Mark Twain's river boat. It was my uncle who inspired Mark Twain to write his book, Tom Brown's School days she said. Uncle Tom was a very witty person. Per- sonally, I think that Mark Twain got a lot of his witty remarks from my Uncle Tom. Rank plagarismf' I remarked, and hastily regretted this as I cowered under her icy stare. A most humorous incident on this line occurred between Dallas and Portland, Oregon. A party of six Navy men were returning from leave. They were all in a state of great hilarity. Having purchased pillows, they began a pillow iight. This later developed into a prop snow-storm when windows on opposite sides of the bus were opened and the contents of six pillows were set adrift. So realistic was this storm that one of them crouched in a corner, pulled up his collar, and went through all the motions of freezing to death, Sixty-four CADUCEUS Among my stock of unusual experiences is the one in which I was very casually handed a one-hundred dollar bill by a complete stranger. He was a young man of Scandinavian appearance but told me that his name was Mickey McGuire. He was en route from Vancouver to Pendleton. There he intended to buy a house for his father and to take in the Pendleton Round Up which is the biggest in the Northwest. These Round Ups are surely the tops, he said. But they get to be darned expensive! What do you call expensive? I asked. A'Did you ever see one of these, kid? he queried, reaching into his coat pocket and extracting a wallet crammed with bills. He picked one at random and handed it to me. My eyes bulged! What in the world? I examined it closely. It appeared to be good. Is he crazy? I thought. I have thirty of these. He spoke in a matter-of-fact way. One of them is mine for the Round Up. I returned the bill and had a mad vision of rolling this fellow. In a short while he reached his destination and we bade each other adieu. I promising, on his insistence, that I write to him some time. Mickey McGuire, Gilhoolie Street, he said. So long. So long. Was he crazy, a good counterfeiterkor was he telling the truth? The most adventurous meeting I have had was one with a little Filipino. He was on his way from San Diego to New York via New Orleans. He was small and dark, as is characteristic of his nationality. He appeared to be thirty years old at an outside estimate, but I was surprised to learn that he had served sixteen years in the Navy and seven in the Army. At the time, he was allegedly in the service of the American Merchant Marine. He said that he had run away from home on the arrival of the first examinations of his fresh- man year of high school. I was much afraid. I learned from another passenger that the person with whom he was riding was an F. B. I. investigator who was checking up on my friend to see that he did not leave us. My companion was supposed to have jumped ship in San Francisco, making an illegal entry into the United States. The investigator also said that at a certain stop a young steward would get on. The steward was also a G man. At the designated stop. our Government agent left us and a steward came aboard. All night I rode with the sailor, wringing from him tales of South America, Europe, Africa, India, Asia, the South Seas, and many other places. I was constantly debating whether or not I should tell this jovial fellow that he was being watched. The incongruity of a man's not being allowed to enter a country which he had served for twenty-three yearsl Not knowing the par- ticulars of the case, I let matters remain as they stood. On arriving in Dallas, Texas he stepped from the bus, and from nowhere materialized two men: each of them took one of his arms and very quickly and quietly escorted him from the depot. So you are going home at last, SindbadI I thought. Many find travel by this method very tiring but not so to my way of reasoning. Not when one meets such people. Sixty-five CADUCEUS ON Tl-IE CONTENTS OF A GlRL'S PURSE RICHARD MCCORMACK HERE is one thing that can be truthfully said of Beaumont girls-they ,lil 55 are extremely fashionable. They follow all the fashion trends very explicitly fwhether all the fashion ideas, fads, and customs of girls are as Y ' sane as they could be, or notj. Modern fashions always point to large purses: so, girls usually buy large purses. Having acquired her small suitcase, a girl is not satisfied unless she has it completely filled. Consequently, she accumulates handbag fillings, the amount of which would make any museum curator turn green with envy. Although every girl, figuratively speaking, has everything from soup to nuts in her purse, I have found by a survey that all girls' purses may be divided into two major classes-the feminine purse, and the tomboy's purse-according to their contents. The former averages such contents as three mirrors fthe very feminine girl must care a great deal for her appearance to look at herself in all these mirrorsj, a clean handkerchief, a nine-inch comb, a full compact, a powder puff, an expensive lipstick, a cuticle stick, a Girl Scout membership card, subscriptions for two school publications fthe feminine girl has much school spirit, I supposej , a G. A. A. card, and a season athletic ticket fmore school spiritj, a beautiful Mexican card, and a knitting needle. Although the very feminine girl is supposed to be fastidious in her personal care, she clutters up her purse with such necessities feverything in a girl's purse is an absolute necessity to the girl, or so she saysj as three program cards Ctwo of which are no goodj, a pen and a pencil-sharpener, both of which are useless, an empty compact and lipstick, several club dues receipts, a couple of notes CI wonder who the lucky CFD beaux arej, and some visiting cards ffrom the same beaux, I guessj. The other type of purse is that of the tomboy. Quite unexpectedly, it is kept in better order than the feminine purse. For example, the tomboy keeps her money in a separate coin purse, which is easily accessible when she is in a hurry. The smaller the tomboy's purse is, the better she likes it. Therefore, she cuts down on her possessions to make a smaller purse possible. She uses a piece of a comb that she can easily dispose of by putting in her hair. She carries and uses no lipstick, little powder, and no rouge. Her other possessions are only a bus ticket, an absence excuse, an attempted story, and a very small pen and pencil. One thing found in a certain tomboy's purse was a Swiss watch, which was three hundred years old. One would hardly expect a tomboy to be carrying such an antique, but in any girl's purse there is likely to be found any number of unusual things. As the feminine girl is more prevalent at Beaumont, let us consider a day's experience of one such girl. With her bag full of trouble , she sets out to school, or, as I think is more nearly the case, to try to master her possessions in the purse. She starts off by meeting one of her classmates on the way to school. Hello, Mazien, she greets her. Do you remember that ticket that you wanted to buy? Well, I brought it along today. I have it right here in my purse-if I can find it. Then she begins to dig furiously inside the purse, but her efforts are fruitless. Sixty-six CADUCEUS lVlazie, she interrupts, you know Bill Jones, the full-back on the school team, don't you? I-Iere's his picture that he gave me. I-Ie's 'cute', isn't he? Then, after another five-minute search, she finally finds the ticket. By this time they are at school and she leaves Mazie to go to her first-hour class. During her study-period that morning, she examines herself in her purse- mirror and discovers that she doesn't look quite up to par. Therefore, out come the implements of artificial pulchritude: an eyebrow pencil darkens and lengthens her eyebrows, half a box of powder goes on her face, lipstick is lavishly applied CI now realize that she carries extras of everything so that she will not run out in a day or sob, a comb plies through the wild waves, and bobby-pins disappear from the purse into her hair. We next see her at lunch-time. The mammoth bag is again in evidence as she excavates for her lunch checks and holds up the line. As usual, she cannot tind anything that she wants, because her purse is in so grand a state of con- fushion. There, at last, she has found them. No, those are car-tokens, not lunch checks. When she finally does find them, she really eats, for anyone could work up an appetite struggling with a handbag like hers. After school she runs into more difficulties. She boards a street-car, opens Mammoth Cave Qoops, I mean her pursej, and starts to put a lunch check fthe one she couldn't find at lunch-timej into the fare box. Realizing her mistake, she is again off delving into and exploring the depths of her purse on the quest of the elusive token. Resignedly, she pays a dime that she has accidentally discovered, and later finds the token when she is looking for something else. The poor girl's day continues in the same manner, with one calamity caused by the slave-driving purse added to another. Purses and their contents are most deleterious to that portion of the fair sex formed by high school girls, and I am sure that we fellows all feel sorry for them. However, I just cannot imagine girls without purses: so I suppose that they will have to remain resigned to their fate of submission to purses and will not be able to stage a revolt against them. S ixty-seven CADUCEUS HEXENTANZ A Tale of the Harz Mountains CHARLOTTE HIGH W' I N MIDDLE Germany between the Weser and Elbe rivers lie the Harz Qc' .Q Mountains These old mountains are world renowned for their beauty ,ggi . , N I ' . ' - ' . , The are covered for the most art with tall ine trees. There is sw , V . . . P p . L' always the distant tinklmg of the bells on cattle roaming over the hillside. Here and there a stream goes gushing down a steep rock formation. In the distance the jagged, rocky points of the highest peaks project above the evergreen forests. The whole range is strewn with huge granite boulders, some of which have been cracked and split by the tenacious roots of the giant firs into grotesque formations. Superstition regarding the Harz has led to the celebration of a legendary event, the Witches' Sabbath. On Walpurgisnacht, it is said, all the ghosts, devils, witches, and evil spirits in the world, come dashing through the air, by pale moonlight, on pitch forks, he-goats, and brooms, Sometimes, on an excep- tionally clear night, they can even be seen rushing in and out of the valleys between Der Brocken and neighboring peaks. At such times whirlwinds chase low clouds from one mountain to another. About midnight a lusty ire appears on the top of Der Brocken, upon which the devil's grandmother brews in an enormous kettle the horrible Witches' Soup. While the brew is boiling, all the evil spirits go dancing wildly around the mountains, flinging flaming torches madly. About the first of April, in 1860, in Klocker, a small town near the Harz Mountains, lived Emil Loeschengrau, who owned the local newspaper. For the last few months Loeschengrau had had an alarming deficiency of material, and circulation was beginning to fall off. Then, one day, he hit upon the idea of a story ridiculing the superstitions of the nearby mountain folk. Since Walpurgisnacht was not far off, Emil thought his subject was quite timely. To make his editorial seem really authentic, he decided to make a little trip up into the mountains on the Witches' Sabbath. When he went home that night he told his wife, Lene, I've got an idea! I think I'll write a story about the stupid superstitions that the mountaineers around here have. And on Walpurgisnacht, I'm going up into the mountains and see if perhaps there is any kind of foundation for those outlandish stories that are told. I really don't expect to find anything, but it will give the write-up a sounder basis. I'll get a horse from Heinrich Hagboldt, because some of the roads might be impassible with the buggy. Frau Loeschengrau beamed up at her husband and said, Why, how did you ever think of that? It's a grand idea! But at the same time, deep inside of her, she knew that she'd rather he wouldn't go. Even though she had lived in larger cities and had gone to two universities, Magdelene Loeschengrau had grown up in Klocker. She said nothing further to her husband, but the next morning, after Emil had left the house, she talked to her old cook about the proposed trip. I suppose it seems a little silly to be afraid about this, Karma, but somehow I don't think he ought to go. You, silly? Ach, liebling, he's the silly one! Why, it's nothing short of insane to go up there and deliberately make the spirits angry! I've got a Sixty-eight CADUCEUS brother who lives up there, not far from Der Brocken, you know. He says that everyone always stays close to home on Walpurgisnacht. No one ever dares to go out. The spirits are always on lookout for someone to seize and carry off. When Emil came home, Lene told him what the old woman had, and Karma added, One of my brother's neighbors went out once on Walpurgis- nacht, and the next morning his body was found at the bottom of a cliff where the witches had thrown him. One year his wife forgot to sprinkle holy water around the barn, and the devils burned it to the ground. But Emil dismissed this warning and others from his neighbors as ignorant superstitions and went on with his plans for the trip. About four o'clock on the afternoon of Walpurgisnacht, Emil got a horse from Herr Hagboldt, who lived just outside of Klocker, and started up a little mountain road. Not looking nor expecting to find anything contradictory to his line of thought, he rode aimlessly on, composing in his mind the two columns which he was going to write. He passed one small farm after another, each with a cross painted somewhere or other on its house. The farmers were all scurrying around to finish the chores before nightfall. After a while he came into some woodlands on the top and found there a small path worn by the mountaineers coming and going to town. Darkness finally fell, and Emil had to give his horse full rein. Suddenly black clouds appeared, seemingly from nowhere, gathering thick and close, smothering a thin, pale moon that struggled for a while and then surrendered. Lightning began to play around the sky, and distant thunder commenced. I-Iimmel! XVould this road never come to an end! Since he was afraid to run the horse for fear of falling off the side of the mountain, there was nothing for Emil to do but stay seated and be drenched. As soon as the rain slacked a little, a strong wind blew up, chilling him to the bone. It made eerie sounds in the hollows, and shrill voices began to call to each other. At first they seemed to be coming close, and then to be going away. At one time they would seem to be in front of him and at another to be beside him. The lightning was still playing around when suddenly, not ten meters behind him, a giant fir tree crashed over the road. The poor horse, frightened by the loud and unexpected noise, began to run, throwing his rider almost off the precipice. Shaking, Emil picked himself up and went on miserably by himself. Finally, after what seemed an interminable time, he came out into a clearing where a small hut was built. He went up to the door and knocked. No one came. He knocked again. and then when no one came he walked in anyway. The cottage was typical of the mountain-side farmers' dwellings. A large room with an alcove was obviously used for sleeping. A small stove, a table, several chairs, and a hand- carved chest of drawers were in the larger room. At one end, there was a fireplace with wood already in it. Flower pots were in each of the windows. Emil looked around the room and then went over and lit the fire to help dry his clothes. Presently it occurred to him that it was rather odd that whoever lived there was not at home so late at night-and on Walpurgisnacht, besides! The rain, which had stopped for a while, started again, beating down on the roof of the cottage as if it wanted to break through. The wind whistling shrilly around the house added to the tenseness that Emil already felt. Once when he went over to the window to see if the storm was dying down, he saw several indefinite white shapes swaying around in the wind. The thin, whining voices from across the hollow had grown stronger and now seemed to coming nearer. He paced up and down the small cabin. That wind! That wind! Sixty-nine CADUCEUS Gradually into his dazed mind crept the realization that something must be on fire. The room was filling with smoke. He looked up and saw the thatched roof ablaze. I've got to get out of this place, he cried. I've got to get out! He stumbled around, falling over a chair, and linally found the door. He staggered outside and stood on the road stupidly watching the tire, not even thinking about trying to save the house. A neighboring farmer who had seen the flames came running over to see what he could do, but by that time the cottage was just about gone. He went over to the heavy door, which was not quite gone, took a look, and turned away with an I-told-you-so expression on his face. He shrugged his shoulders and went up to Emil. Just as I expected. No cross, he said. The Beiners were suddenly called away to her sick mother. I guess they just forgot to put a cross on their door. Well, it's too bad, too bad! Himmel! You know, I wouldn't have gone inside that house tonight for anything! No, sir! Stupefied and unnerved by the strange course of events that night, Emil set out clumsily on the road down to Klocker. He had forgotten all about the article for his newspaper. alan 'III' F I ASS M-Seventy PCDETRY CADUCEUS Seventy-two HOURS CATHERINE MCKNIGHT Night leers at me, As with a thousand voices, It mocks and jeers at Men who would lrap it.

Eighty-three cADUcEUsAsgfg , FOOTBALL JERRY SCHM1'1 r The Blue Jackets of 1938 for the third time in the history of Beaumont High School closed their season fighting for the championship. They were beaten in the final game of the season by Soldan. and thus were dropped from a possibility of tying for the championship into third place in the Public High School League. In non-league games, Beaumont was defeated by powerful University City and Maplewood teams by the scores of 33-2 and 22-O respectively. Beaumont was also nosed out by Edwardsville 14-7 in a non-league contest. After getting ofl to a bad start in non-league competition this year, the Blue and Cuold squad, under the able coaching of Coach Franklin, came through to finish in first division in the league by defeating Central 6-O, McKinley 12-O, Roosevelt l4-6: but in turn they were defeated by Cleveland 18-7 and by Soldan 19-O. Although the team was not particularly outstanding, it broke the only record to be broken this year when, in the McKinley game, sophomore Lee Tevis ran lOl yards behind perfect blocking for a touchdown. The team thanks and congratulates Coach Franklin for his patience and reliable coaching throughout the season. Those graduating from this year's squad are: Cantanzaro, Gallo, Gonzen- back, Kuelker, McDowell, Mooney, Rice, Schmitt, Schoenberg, Sueme, and Toroian. However, everyone is looking forward to the team of 1939, which will be made up of such returning stars as Tevis, Keller, Peistrup, Costello, O'Rourke, Pepmiller, Brauss, Obermark, Marting, Luecke, Sexauer, Franzlau, Zurheide, O'Brien, Eberhardt, Axline, Scholl, Doelger, Bauer, Campione, Bernsen, McClos- key, and Rapplean. Ez'qhlg.f-four CADUCEUS TENNIS RoBt2R'1' Kllslilili For the third consecutive year, Coach Backus' Beaumont tennis squad has captured the City League Championship. The winning squad includes: George Hendry. lst singles: Elmer Aschemeyer, 2nd singles: Kenneth Mooney, 3rd singles: and Erwin Hofman and Robert Kilker, doubles. The lst singles and doubles players are two-year men, while the others are yearlings. Not only was this the third straight championship, but it was the second continuous year in which the team failed to lose a match. ln 1937 they did not lose a set. and in l938 they dropped only two sets. Two fine records were set by the team. The first was a record of winning 53 consecutive matches: l in 1936, 24 in I937, and 28 this year. There were 4 more matches this year, as Southwest High entered the league race. The second record was the romp over Central netsters without the loss of a game. ln the state meet held at Columbia, Hendry played spectacular tennis to win the singles championship. The doubles players, Hofman and Kilker, did not fare so well, losing in the semifinals. Thus. Beaumont has won 4 of the 6 state tennis titles of the last three years. ln l936 and 1937 Blattner won the singles, and Hendry, besides winning this year, teamed with Manic in l937 to win the doubles title. Much credit for Beaumont victories is also given to its coach, Mr. Henry Backus, who has produced excellent teams.

This year, as formerly, a large number of boys tried out for the team. During tryouts the Beaumont golf squad competed with other schools in practice matches for the purpose of selecting the team and for pre-interscholastic tournament practice. The matches were with Roosevelt, Central, Soldan, and Cleveland. In each case the Beaumont squad was victorious, except for a tie with Soldan, last year's champions. The interscholastic tournament was held on October l5 and 22 at the Forest Park 18-hole links. Beaumont got off to a bad start and, at the end of the first round, Cleveland led, Soldan was second, and Blewett third, with Beaumont fourth. The next week, however, the Beaumont team, consisting of Charles Moser Ccaptainj, Carl Reinecke Cco-captainb, Kenneth Koeller, Leo Green, Bill Fogarty, and George DeI,onjay, led the field of 40 high-school golfers. But Cleveland's lead was too great, and Beaumont finished in third place, behind Cleveland and Soldan. Carl Reinecke shot the lowest total score of the tournament, with Charles Moser close behind him. There are many promising prospects for next year's team, including McAllister and Loss. Moser and Green also will return. The team still practices, weather permitting, every Monday at Norwood Hills Country Club, and Mr. Kemp is whipping a good team into shape for the next year. Eighty-seven Beside the league games this year, these non-league games have been played CADUCEUS BASKETBALL I 938-39 BILL MASSARAND There is a little brighter outlook on basketball this year than there was last year. This is due to the fact that Beaumont will have more experienced men than last year. O'Rourke, Pidgeon, and Massarand will see action all year, while Grady and Kilker are half-year men. Along with these boys will be Christophel, Masterson, and Hendry, who saw some service last year. This year there were about 130 boys out for basketball, and of these only about fifteen were first- or second-termers. It is hard to see why boys wait until they are sixth- or seventh-termers before coming out: at these terms they are of little use. Tevis, Moritz, Happel, and Fluri will form the reserve strength for Beaumont this year. with the following scores: Beaumont ...... Central Beaumont ,..... Clayton Beaumont ,..... Normandy Beaumont ...,..,....,.,.......... Ferguson . We will also play St. Louis U.

President June Langhauser Vice-President Ralph Rosebrock Secretary Audrey Camacho Treasurer Marvin Kuhlman Digest and CADUCEUS Correspondent Harry Leonard Librarian Alice Hill Ninety-one CADUCEUS THE DIGEST The Digest occupies a position at Beaumont comparable to that of the modern newspaper in any community. Ever since time began, there has been some medium by which thoughts and news were transferred. At first, con- versation was the sole means of communication. Then, as man progressed, he gradually began to write messages. Finally, some one conceived the idea of issuing a short account of interesting events at regular intervals. Step by step the modern newspapers developed. Today, with the help of the telegraph, telephone, and cable, newspapers are of vital importance to the progress of the world. This term marks the tenth year of HDigest publication. Throughout this period the paper has endeavored to inform the student body of all school activities, to promote interest, to entertain, and to reflect school spirit. lt is really a common bond of interest between the different groups of the school and, accordingly, acts as a unifying agent. Thus, with a record of endless and efficient service, the Digest has become not only traditional but indis- pensable to Beaumont High School. Every issue of the Digest'l is a student production. The paper is written by an editorial staff of seventeen members. Each one has his own topics to cover and in addition any general news which may be assigned to him. Four typists are kept busy typing the articles as they come in. This work is all supervised by the editor with the help of the assistant editor. The business staff is capably handling the circulation and financial Ninety-two CADUCEUS rw f A b v . FIRST TERMERS problems of the Digest this term. In conclusion, our sponsor Mr. William E. Birr, deserves much of the credit for the success of the paper. He has been the guiding light of the Digest during the ten years of its existence.

J. PIERLOW The Beaumont High School Mothers' Club is now thirteen years old. lt started with 56 members and now has increased to 315 members. The purpose of the club is to create a friendly relationship between parents, faculty, and students and to aid in the welfare and social life of the students. The Mothers' Club sponsors the sale of tuberculosis seals and buttons and this year has also purchased a 35.00 bond to help the society to carry on its fine work. The club is a member of the Child-Conservation Conference and a con- tributor to the Santa Claus Fund. lt also contributes to the fund for needy school children administered by Miss Meyersieck. and is a member of the Cultural and Service Club of the Blind Association. The Christmas Carol Groups, which help to bring so much joy and cheer, are also sponsored by the Mothers' Club. Last year the 750 students taking part covered the north end of the city. Members donate their time as well as their automobiles to convey the singers to their respective districts. On April 6, 1934 the Mothers' Club gave a play and dance. This was as outstanding event, as it was the first time a play was put on in which the mothers took part. The play created such a friendly spirit between the mothers that it has now become a yearly event. Through this first play the Mothers' Choral Club was organized. At first they met only when it was time to practice for the yearly play. but in 1936 it became a permanent organization Nine! ty f four CADUCEUS V 1 THIRD TERMERS and they elected officers and began to meet every Tuesday afternoon at 2:45 in Room 302 with Mr. Ernest Prang Stamm as their director. If you like to sing, the choral club would appreciate your coming out and singing with them. At the beginning of this school year Mr. A. H. Huntington was appointed. by the Board of Education as principal of Beaumont High School and Mr. J. S, Nants as assistant principal. We feel with Mr. Huntington as principal and Mr. Nants as his co-operative working mate, the school will go on in a line way and the Mothers' Club will also continue to progress. The club meets the Hrst Tuesday of each month in Room 302 at 2:30 P. M. After a short business session, we are entertained by a speaker and by accomplished artists in music, who are secured by Miss Ada La Berge, Miss Else Brix, and Mr. Stamm. members of the faculty. A short talk is given by our principal on some welfare problem of the students, after which the members and guests adjourn to the lunchroom for the social hour. At the June meeting the mothers have a garden party on the east lawn of the school, and a very interesting program is given. The club extends an invitation to all mothers of Beaumont students to join. Dues are fifty cents a year. President Mrs. l. T. Barco Vice-President Mrs. J. L. Roehlk Secretary Mrs. J.

They think it consists in having and getting and being served by others. However, it consists in giving and in serving others. -Henry Drummond. Service is the unwritten motto of the students and faculty at Beaumont. It is the written motto of that smaller group of students who are members of the Service Club and who give their study hours to serve the school. These service people assist in the offices and attendance rooms by calling students from classrooms, in the halls by welcoming visitors, in the library by assisting students to find magazines and books, at the basement doors by taking passes. They also assist at senior and new-senior parties, and in making the students' pro- grams in the oflice at the beginning of each term. Membership in the club is open to the All E students during honorable service: to the G and E students: to the All G students during honorable service, and to all other students with two good recommendations from teachers. Awards are given to those completing a deinite number of hours of work. Join the Service Club by signing up with our sponsor, Miss Papendick. Vtfc want you if you want us. Wanting us means that you want to serve the school. 1 Y 1 SCIENCE CLUB , REYNOLD BURKARD Every Friday at 2:30 the Science Club meets in Room 124. Our programs are educational and at the same time we have fun. fLaughs are usually provided by our whimsical vice-presidentj Our best programs to date have been a spec- tacular demonstration on 'AHydrogen by Joe Toeniskoetter, a talk on Bees, and another on Gas Warfare. Besides these special programs, we are informed each week of current scientific events. Later in the term we plan to take trips which will better illustrate subjects discussed at our meetings.

It has been in existence since the days when it was the Yeatman Gym Club. Practice takes place two and sometimes three times a week. Recently interest has been revived in gymnastic apparatus work. The first lnterscholastic Gym Meet was held last spring in our auditorium. This was a meet of gym teams from the St. Louis public high schools, somewhat like the swimming meet which is held every year, not between two teams but between all the teams. No athletic letters have been awarded at Beaumont, but at this time letters were given at other schools, as for football, basketball, and other sports. The club has been invited to many places to display their skill in exhibi- tions. An excellent performance was given at the football pep sessions, and recently the team of six were invited to perform on the horizontal bar at Edwardsville, Illinois High School, President La Vern Cordes Vice-President Leo Cooper Secretary-Treasurer Kenneth Bresnen A'Digest and CADUCEUS Correspondent Lawson Ray Sponsor Dr. Lehrman Ninety -nine E E Q is F 2 .M 'fe 2 HM QRS 'Q - figs me 9 2' 'ggggisgggw fZ:5E?5ig?'E5 '5 5525 egg: . rt ' , ,E 5 , gg? grF'e:l5mL, It 5.8245 Q' Q 9 x af: gg G? i19,fL .,, an PQ.-4-.eff 531 ' Efifm ' A E xl?

A. is the hub of all athletic clubs in Beaumont in which girls may participate. Before any girl can join any athletic club she must first be a member of the G. A. A. The clubs afiliated with this organization are the Apparatus, Hockey, Duck, Ping Pong, Skating, Sports, Pepperettes, and Walking. The G. A. A. was organized at Yeatman and had a membership of about fifty. Later the club was continued when Beaumont came into existence. Today this organization has approximately eight hundred members, all of whom belong to at least one athletic club. Awards are given for credits obtained in the various clubs. The goal of all G. A. A. girls is to earn a silver trophy, which is awarded for 2600 credits. This spring, as in previous years, the G. A. A. will give a Mothers' and Daughters' party.

All those making grades of 84 or better were invited to form a practice group. Such a club was organized and meetings were set for every Thursday afternoon at 2:30 in Room 307. Although it has the specific objective of preparing for the annual radio spelling tournament in the spring, the drill sessions have the more general value of stopping gaps in the vocabulary of the members.

Our club is devoted to the interests of stamp collecting. Our hobby is not only fascinating but also of really great value. By examining stamps, a history of the United States as well as the world can be pleasantly studied. Stamps also have a monetary value ranging from fractions of a cent to S50,000. If there is any question about stamp-collecting that we could answer, you are invited to attend any meeting of the club. At the meetings the members trade. buy, and sell stamps. Contests dealing with stamp collecting are also held. During the term Mr. Hall has obtained selections of stamps, which are welcomed by the members. Every one who has an interest in the subject is invited to 204 on Thursdays at 2:35.

To help you gain a G. A. A. award, six credits are given for each regular session attended. with extra credit at the end of the term for perfect attendance. Dues are only twenty-Eve cents a term, and with your memberf ship card you are admitted to the XVinter Garden at a reduced rate. Added to this is the spring outing. which, from past experience, we have learned to look forward to with eager anticipation because of the great fun we always have, lf you are interested in ice skating you can readily see the fun that can be had by joining the Girls' Skating Club.

Team l, having the upper-term girls who had more experience in playing the game, won the four- game tournament-7:-O: 3-O: 4-0: 3-l. When the end of the hockey season rolls around, generally two teams are chosen from among the players in competition-the All-Beaumont and Alternate teams. The fact that there were so few players this year prevented the choosing of two teams, and only the members to the All-Beaumont team were selected.

Each term, on alternate Wednesdays, we visit many interesting places such as the Gradwohl Biological Laboratories, Shaw's Ciarden, and the Jewel Box in Forest Park. Besides this, a semi-annual picnic is enjoyed immensely by all at one of the delightful places suggested by our members. Under the capable sponsorship of Miss McCarty, we meet in Room IZZ at 2:35, where, on the remaining Vifednesdays our time is spent discussing business matters, and listening to talks on nature, given by our members.

Since this group comprises voices from low bass to high soprano, it is able to cover the necessary vocal range of well known choral works. Because membership is elective, the balance of voice parts offers the greatest challenge, and each succeeding term calls for new adjustments in this respect. At present a small tenor section is called upon to balance a much larger bass section. Unaccompanied singing can be done anywhere. By studying it a group can adjust itself to singing in many different places, indoors and outdoors. without the aid of a piano. Several different types of projects have therefore come to the attention of the Mixed Chorus and are giving us a busy season of performances. Social activities, too. are of great importance, and a large portion of the club treasury is used for social occasions, The Mixed Chorus meets daily the fourth period. Upperfterm students earn credit toward graduation by membership. Lowerfterm students may substitute Mixed Chorus for the regular semifweekly chorus class.

To the surprise of Mr. Saeger and the older club members, the response to the call for new players was considerably large. With the addition of these prospects to our club, a new problem was presented. Because the membership was so large it was necessary to divide the club into two groups. The guitar and banjo players meet on Monday, the third hour, and the accordion on Wednesday, the third hour. With this program outlined, our librarian purchased the latest song hits and our club started its series of swing sessions. All term we have kept up with HYour Hit Parade in playing No. 1 song hits.

Some people think that chess is a hard and complicated game, but it is very simple once the fundamentals are learned. Each player is equipped with sixteen chess- men, in contrasting colors, black and white: a king: a queen: two bishops: two knights: two castles: and eight pawns, each having a particular move. The object of the game is to get the opposing king in a position from which he cannot escape. This is called checkmating. The best players are chosen for the chess team, on which there are seven men. The team travels to different schools and competes for the championship. We invite all students to attend our meetings. We are sure that you will be interested.

Beaumont has hopes of giving some of her competitors quite a jolt this season. This year's team, though inexperienced, has some of the best material seen in this part of town for some time. On the team this year will be Captain Lee, Schultz, Krueger, Kidwell, Sale, Downey, and Nleglitch. Positions as substitutes are still open. The club is proud of having made several improvements on its range this fall and hopes to continue gradually until Beaumont has one of the best ranges in the district. High score so far this year is a snappy l82 made by Kidwell. High practice scores by positions: Prone, Lee and Schultz, 50x50: Sit, Lee, 49x50: Kneel, Kidwell, 49x50: Stand, Schultz, 43x50. The team is going to enter the Individual matches at C. B. C. and several members hope to reach the State Matches at JeH'erson City. Though target shooting is not an easy game, many inexperienced members of the rifle club are becoming fine shots quite rapidly. This is due, to a large extent, to good coaching. When a new member enters the rifle club, he is first given a National Rifle Association rule book and then carefully and seriously told the very strict rules of the club. This feature has enabled the league to exist for over ten years without physical injury to anyone. The new shooter is then placed in the hands of an experienced team member who shows him how to work the special slingstrap sights and mechanism of the heavy target rifles. He shows One Hundred Twenty-two CADUCEUS the new lad the proper breathing, holding, and trigger squeeze. He lets the newcomer shoot and then points out his faults. It is then up to the tyro to correct them. To do this requires constant practice but the enjoyment that comes with expertness repays many times over this early effort. In indoor shooting the range is 50 feet long and the target shot at is about IM inches in diameter. The club fires every Wednesday under the sponsorship of Mr. Mitchell, and the team has a special session on Thursday when it receives coaching from Dr. John D. Whitney of Harris Teachers' College, an expert shot. President Ross Lee Vice-President Edward Schultz Secretary and Treasurer Orlande Kidwell Quartermaster Walter Sale Sponsor M. L.

Illa fretus agit ventos ez turbida tranat nubilaf' Then Mercury takes up his Cadaceusg he summons the pale shades from Hades with this, And others to the sad inferno he may dismiss, He gives sleep, takes it away, and from death unseals the eyes. Relying on this he drives the winds and over troubled clouds then flies. These lines from Virgil's Aeneid give a brief description of the powers of the caduceus, or winged rod which was supposed to have been carried by Mercury, messenger of the gods. The two serpents entwined about the wand represent wisdom and the wings stand for diligence and activity. Because of its power of giving and taking away life, the caduceus was adopted as the symbol of the medical profession. In honor of Dr. William Beaumont, for whom Beaumont High School was named, A'Caduceus was chosen as the name of our book and as the symbol of the school. One Hundred Twenty-three CADUCEUS SHAKESPEARE CLUB MARIE HURLEY This term the Shakespeare Club has enjoyed one of the most interesting periods since its organization in 1929. The successful presentation of The Comedy of Errors last term under the eHicient direction of Miss Warner, sold Shakespeare to the Beaumont student body. The club provided the cast for the play. As a result of this project, a new honor was conferred upon the club this fall. Mr. John Rush Powell, Assistant Superintendent of St. Louis Schools, asked the Shakespeare Club to provide a program for a meeting of the St. Louis Tercentenary Society. Four members of the club were chosen to demonstrate Mr, Powell's talk on The Interpretation of Shakespeare by High School Boys and Girls. Gladys Nick, Joe Toeniskoetter, Robert Murray, and Gabriel Oliensis took part on this program. Important scenes from Julius Caesar were given. The members of the Shakespeare Club were guests of the St. Louis Society at the Scruggs Vandervoort auditorium. All enjoyed the program, and were proud of their members. The Mothers' Club of Beaumont High School has asked the Shakespeare Club to provide the program for the January meeting. Thus the reputation of the Shakespeare Club spreads beyond the doors of Beaumont. Miss Wagener's inspiring talk on the romantic Hawaiian Islands and young David Oliensis' discussion of l'Integrity were both well received and appre- ciated. One Hundred Twenty-four CADUCEUS The programs given by the fifth-, sixth-, seventh- and eighth-term members provided a Worth-while spirit of competition which resulted in interesting and varied programs. Good scholarship continues to be a requisite of members. A poor report card automatically drops one from membership. One from the Waiting list steps in to fill the place.

Occasionally during the term, the club leaves the beaten path and has a debate on some lighter subject, or holds a mock trial. We always look forward with pleasure to the debate which Washington University Debating Team brings. This term, one former club president, Ered Haffner, has notified us that again a date will be arranged for us. He is our second Witenagemot member to be made Washington University's Debate Manager. lt is very encouraging to see that our graduates carry on into college debating clubs, finding their places on teams and officers' lists. Then, too, when the results of the State Bar Examination results are published, we often discover the name of one or more of our former debaters. We extend to them our best wishes and congratulations upon the attainment of their goal. New members from the fourth term and up are invited to join us, bringing a recommendation from English and history teachers.

Throw it here! all of which pertain to the exciting game of water polo. It is thrilling to watch these eager paddlers striving to win out over their just-as-eager opponents. Two teams have been formed under the capable leadership of Georgia Disch and Mildred Heck, Several girls who had never swum before entering Beaumont have worked their way up to the team's requirements. These qualifications are pretty stiff, the student being required to be able to swim ten lengths of the pool in a good crawl: perform a swan, jacknife, and back dive in good form: and swim five different strokes. We feel that the achievement of these beginners does credit to our sponsor and to the girls of the team who act as instructors.

I want something different -so in desperation I started. Once upon a time when I was a young lady going to high school I was interested mainly in swimming and athletics: so I, of course, joined clubs that were just for sports. The one that was the most fun was the Duck Club. a club of girls who patterned after the ducks. Now you know what ducks like to do? They like to swim and play around in water all day. This is just what the Duck Club members did. for every nrst Thursday of the month, they had a play swim. They played all sorts of games, had races and, from the noise heard in the hall, they had loads of fun. In 1938, as near as I can remember, the officers were -L Mildred I-Ieck Mama Duck Connie Shelly Big Sister Duck Georgia Disch Scratch Duck Patricia Pritchett Bill Duck Doris Skinner Quack Duck -i'From all reports, I hear the Duck Club is still going and welcomes to its fold any girl who likes swimming. She doesn't have to be a real competitive swimmer but one that can handle herself in water and enjoys water sports. Just then I fell out of bed with a loud bump. Tenderly picking myself up I vowed never to eat creampuffs and watermelon again-at least not before retiring. One Hundred Twenty-eight CADUCEUS LIBRARY CLUB MARY SHANNON Rap! Rap! The Library Club is now in session! As the roll is called, anyone could perceive at a glance the eagerness with which these twenty-Eve members await their turns at book reports. Have you ever made a book report just for fun? Or do you constitute one of the many who think a book report some heap bad medicine English teacher poke um down throat? Ugh! The Library Club meets every third Thursday for these reports which, by the way, are the latest books in travel, biography, humor, and fiction. We have a three-minute time schedule and during these three minutes we try to criticize the book in an interesting way, giving our own opinion of the book. Our members do not strive to prove that they read the book, their great love of reading gives testimony of their honesty and scrupulousness in this line. The first Thursday of the month we have an outing sometimes in the form of a hike. We cook our meal over an open fire and after the fiesta we sit grouped about the fire roasting marshmallows and trying to outdo each other with weird tales of ghosts and goblins. The second Thursday we visit such inter- esting places as the Candy Exhibition held at Jefferson Hotel, the Union Biscuit Company, St. Louis Dairy, and Central Library. These visits and outings are what we term perfects but just the same our main topic is the book reports which we devour wholly. So if you have a natural love for books, join with us and share in the fun we have.

In order to do that, fathers must needs know what is going on in school. Because such fathers do know what is going on in school, they find many things to discuss, Most of the present members of the School Patrons Association actually have boys or girls in school now. Sometimes interests hold over after the boy or girl is gone. The hold-over interest then is genuine interest in school and in school problems. To such an organization the Beaumont High School Patrons Association invites the attention of the fathers of North St. Louis, The present officers are: President Dr. Frank Jaeger First Vice-President Sigmund Rose Second Vice-President Louis B.

Each member designs, constructs, and manipulates his own marionette, in addition to painting and designing stage props and properties. This fall the club was inspired to do bigger and better things after Metra's Marionette Troopers visited our school and explained their methods of manipu- lating and constructing marionettes. This term our club plans to produce i'Little Red Riding Hood.

This subject has always been an important factor in the growth and development of people the world over, and the club is interested in both the history and beauty of these artistic accomplishments. The activities of the club consist mainly of visits to the Art Museum, and often to various other art institutes, where interesting lectures are heard. The club is open to all pupils of Beaumont, not being formed only for the art students. The organization is proud of its growing enrollment this term, and hopes to enlarge it during the next.

Willemsen One Hundred Thirty-Iwo CADUCEUS CAMERA CLUB ROLAND HOLTGREWE Photography, which is a very fascinating hobby for all ages, is fast growing in popularity at Beaumont. The Camera Club is extremely active and, under the direction of Mr. Webb, it has made rapid progress in the various phases of photography, such as candid shots, portraiture, indoor pictures, landscapes, and movies. Frequent contests and displays are held to exhibit the skill of the members in the processes of taking, developing, printing, and enlarging pictures and to promote intense interest in the work. This term a complete program has been devised which includes field trips, demonstrations, home movies, and educational motion pictures. The club has also expended much labor in securing typical shots of North St. Louis for the current issue of the CADUCEUS. The club meets every Wednesday in Room 232 at 2:40. Anyone with some knowledge of photography is cordially invited to join.

The club meets every Friday after school in Room 232. There are now thousands of amateurs throughout the United States who engage in two-way communication with fellow amateurs all over the world. The fact that radio instruction is not a part of the regular school curriculum gave opportunity for those wishing an extending knowledge in this field to form a club. Up to this time the club has broadened its purpose to include radio theory, classes for both beginners and the more advanced, and instruction in the International Morse Code. Therefore, we extend a sincere welcome to all who are interested in radio to join our ranks.
