WILLIAM W, I-IALI, MISS IVIARIE CUNNINGHAM Cacluceud SENIORS MARY DELLANDE All aboard! The good ship, S. S. Graduation, is about to leave the shores of Beaumont and carry the Class of January '42 forward to The Future. Tickets are being sold for 32.00 at the dock by Quentin Schmitt. At the helm of the boat is Captain Stanley Schuman, assisted by Marie Koehr, second in command, with Madeleine Costa in charge of the ship's log-book. After many preparations, the ship is ready to sail and it launches forth on its journey. Next to the flag of blue and gold waving in the breeze is a pennant on which is inscribed Tomorrow Is Ours , the optimistic motto of the class. As the vessel begins to move toward the horizon, those on the shore hear a last farewell from the departing passengers and a sincere Thank you for the senior sponsors and all who helped to make the voyage a success.

Well, here we are. Of course, being new seniors is fine, but it is really just an intermezzo before the real fun begins. Who hasn't dreamt of joining the ranks of the high and mighty ? Yet perhaps it is best for a review before the previews. Our class, that of June, '42, not being satisfied with the present standard for the election of officers, decided to draw up a set of qualifications for class officership. After much debating rules were drawn up and a finer set of officers couldn't have been chosen, We then decided to elect a class good citizen from among the girls. The honor was voted to our vice-president Shirley Kipp. The colors blue and gold were accepted as satisfactory and things were rolling. Looking into the future all we can see is fun, good-fellowship, class activities, and the inescapable-school-work. We will start out the new term with a rip-roaring get-together party: then watch out! From there we're due for another party, the senior dance and party, senior dancing classes, and thou- sands of infinite things that make the senior term the best term. So, under the good guidance of our oflicers and senior sponsors watch the class of June, '42, start 'em rolling and keep 'em flying!

This atoll is, like many others of its kind, but an atom in the infinite: yet, insignifi- cant as it may seem, it is the only link between ours and a civilization hereto- fore unknown. But two men have known of this race-Professor Thoms and I: Thoms died sixteen years ago. - N THE South Pacific Ocean among the countless islets that the great lQ ?rfI I . . . ' . . PK 2k Pk Pk Pk It was while pursuing a species of rare sea fauna that Thoms stumbled over the monolith. Upon excavation, this most singular object proved to be a dome-shaped vault. Further investigation showed the whole structure to be made of a metal quite unknown to Thoms and meg but with the aid of an acetylene torch the seal was cut and entrance to the vault was obtained. Inside the monolith were forty-two metal tablets, all neatly stacked and showing, as did the repository, absolutely no signs of corrosion. Although familiar with nearly every living language and a few dead ones, I was totally at a loss to translate the tablets. In the course of three weeks, however, I found the key to their language, and by the end of another I had translated all the tablets. The contents, with a few additions by myself here and there, were as follows: To you a race yet to evolve: I am Amaal, last of the Seven Seers, and last of Kalaanians. These tablets are a legacy: from ours, the first race to inhabit this earth and vanish: to yours, a race which may by the grace of some Supreme Being, be the last to leave the earth. To you the origin of this race will forever be a mystery, as not even I know our progenitors. Our race, however, has lived but ten cyclesl, which will be, I believe, the shortest to inhabit this earth. In the beginning there were forty-two strains of people inhabiting our land, each group being practically a clan, with members all having the same family name. From out of one group arose a man of wisdom, forethought, and possessing the great attribute of organization. He was Tamaar. In a comparatively short time Tamaar grouped the forty-two strains into seven tribes with each speaking a separate dialect. A supreme council was then organized, with the sagest of each tribe representing his group. These were the original Seven Seers. As did organization, art also was progressing. With this progression, we advanced from building immense and sometimes grotesque monoliths, to the skillful patterning of miniatures. It was in our miniatures, not the gar- gantuan architecture, that the art of our nation culminated. We were too young a nation to produce philosophers, but much thought was expended upon the origin of our race. One theory which seemed to hold sway is that we were l. 2 5 O years. F orty-eight CHJUCQUJ the remains of an even greater civilization which had, through some misfortune, va-nished completely from the earth. At the termination of the ninth cycle we could not consider ourselves an immortal race as, to that date, we had never witnessed death. As a part of our culture, we also included thorough knowledge of the heavens. Our scientists observed that we were but one of a group of nine bodies composing a solar system. Scientists also found that many of the solar orbs had minute companions?--we had none3. On all sides, our continent was surrounded by immense bodies of fresh water4: it was from these seas that we drew small quantities of important minerals. At the crest of our progress the Seers perceived the handwriting on the wall. The earth was young. Changes in its surface were constantly being effected, and the terrain changed from cycle to cycle like putty in a child's hands. Though our scientists had managed till this time to keep pace with these changes, nature was now outstripping the best of their efforts. The people were now unable to cope with their environment. When a race reaches this stage the 'Gotterdiimmerungf' hovers within view. Greed, dissatisfaction, and corruption set in, and tools that were used to build our nation were-turned against it. We learned of war and of an event wholly unknown to us-death. As do most wars, ours terminated with no winner but famine, privation, and bewllderment. The seers again attempted to reorganize our nation but the 'twilight' had arrived. Earth tremors that had been slight in force were gradually increas- ing in violence, and Akaan, our eldest Seer, discovered that perhaps one-sixth of the entire earth was about to be ejected into outer space.6 l'With the abnormal rise of the seas, the Kalaanians, as did the other nations, took to the hills. Behind them they left all traces of their civilization. The end of the Kalaanians was brought about when the mountains, in one tremendous upheaval, reduced themselves to so many broken boulders. The Seers remained behind to observe the end of a doomed race and lament the waste to which all its culture had gonel Upon decision of the Seven, I was to write an account of the once immortal Kalaanians and to file it in the columbarium that had been prepared. It is that crypt which you have found. As have the rest, we too shall meet our inevitable end, though not with fear, for we have seen so many die that death to us has lost all meaning. The seas have invaded our 'queen city', Kaal: soon refuge will be an impossibility. May your race build upon the ruins of our shattered civilization. The tablets, the only written record of their ephemeral race, upon being exposed to the air soon corroded till all were but a pile of metallic dust. Now, sixteen years later, and eons since the death of the Kalaanians, but one small dome-shaped crypt somewhere in the wastes of the South Pacific oceans remains as evidence of that race. 2.

Forty-nine KQLJUCQUJ YOUR HAMBURGERS ARE BURNING! F It ESPITE the full moon and the burning lights along the streets, it was H, cold, and a steady flow of snowflakes settled over the city. It was 'if52g2?- late, quite late. Nevertheless, the Tuxedo Cafe was still open for business. It was always open: even now, almost Christmas morning. There was nothing sumptuous about the place, nor about its food. It was the kind of place where you drop in when you're out of a job, to browse through the newspaper you picked up in the subway, and to spend your last nickel for a cup of coffee. Jock, the proprietor, a thick-set old man, with a square face, standing behind the counter, knew this. He knew that's the way it was with the young fellow over in the corner booth-the first customer all night. Jock turned the knob. Black fluid filled the cup in front of him. He flipped the nozzle back in place. Vvfith the cup of coffee in hand, he headed for the youngster. Jim Conley sat hunched in the booth, smoking a cigarette, its ash almost scorching his thin face. When he saw the coffee coming, he crushed the butt in a tray. He already had the nickel on the checkered tablecloth. Retreating behind the counter, Jock said: Tastes pretty good on a night like this, huh, kid? 'AMore than you know, Conley asserted. ED HAYES sk, U Q LA There was a brief pause, then, Out of a job? Conley looked at his fingernails. Yeah. How'd you know? But he didn't wait for a reply. My clothes. He chuckled. No, I didn't mean-- That's all right, he assured the older man. But what can a guy do about it? Jock shrugged. What kind of work do you do? I'm a writer. A writer? Yes, A free-lance writer. The best job on earth-sometimes. Did you ever read a story by Dodd McGowan? Well, that's my name: or I should say, my pen name. I came to New York to break into all the big magazines. Huh! Now look at me. , Jock strolled back to the booth again, sfowling. It seems to me, he said, 'Athat I've read a story by you. Dodd McGowan. Certainly. It was in one of the big mags. Sure, Conley said, contemptuously: I wrote for the slicksf' Jock was looking down at the young man now. Well, it seems to me, that if you write fir those, you'd be in the money. Why, they pay two hundred,-three hundre dollars a story! f'That's right. I received big fat checks like those often until- he paused-kunow I can't even hit the pulps. The fat man hadn't yet thoroughly analyzed this youngster. He sat down. Where you from? Fifty CGCJUCQUJ I came from St. Louis, about a year ago. I thought being in the midst of all the publishers and editors, that it'd be simple. Well, it was. I was good for a while. Then I fell in love. He dropped his chin to his chest. hJock's tawny, almond-shaped eyes narrowed. What's the trouble, kid. hu ? Conley reached into an inner pocket. and produced a shabby wallet, then a photograph. Here, he said, handing it to the listener, here's her picture. Jock studied the picture. Very beautiful. And something more. She must be a nice kid. She was. You mean--- Jim Conley nodded. He lifted his head. After she died, I was melancholy. And soon I lost all steady markets. I couldn't put a word down on paper. Jock listened intently. He brought out his pipe, packed it with tobacco, struck a match. The light emphasized his features, which were weary, grayish. Conley continued: A'Day after day I sat in my room, staring down at my typewriter. But it was no use. I couldn't even hit the pulpsI The two sat in silence. The younger man drank his coffee, the older smoked his pipe. With the opening and closing of the door, Conley's thoughts were dis- turbed. Jock got up, stepped behind the counter. Hello, Red, he said to the customer. I haven't seen you for weeks. Where've you been? Now that you're in the big time, my place isn't good enough, huh? He laughed aloud. The elderly gentleman, Red, was all smiles. He was wearing a yellow overcoat, a dark shirt and a white tie. You know how it is, Jock. Deadlines and all-- Yes. Iknow. How about your hamburgers, Jock? Still good? GoodI He laughed. How many? About three. Okay. You know, Jock, What's wrong with this place? Sure. Nobody comes in. The reason is, Red explained, that nobody knows it exists. It ought to be uptown a little. Look at me. I come all the way down from Park Avenue, just to eat some of your hamburgers. They must be good. ar it an it 44 Jock said, Or maybe it's just brotherly love. But Conley wasn't listening. He was looking outside, not at the snow, but past it. His boarding house, on the other side, stood like all the others along the street, with a brownstone front, quite dilapidated: but he was concerned with that light coming from a ground-floor apartment, a light from the landlady's quarters. Yes, he knew what was going on in there. He had gone by there once before-exactly a month ago. He had seen her counting the rent money. And an enormous amount it was, too! But this was Christmas, a voice inside him cautioned. Would she still have the money? Yes. Yes! He was posi- tive. She made every tenant be prompt with the money. A strict rule.

Besides, my hamburgers are probably burning. Fifty-two CGJMCQU5 INDIANS! MELVA MARTY FQ: HE roaring blizzard 'had at last subsided. Huge drifts were piled against the house, submerging the fences. Icicles hung from the snow-covered trees and shrubs. The moon shone brightly over the crisp, clean snow, ' as we opened the door of my grandparents' farmhouse. Ridiculously arrayed in all types of garments to ward off the cold, my cousins and I stepped out into the frozen night. Everything was serenely quiet, the stillness unbroken except for our foot- steps as we crunched about in the yard. Christmas that year would be frozen and white, just as we'd hoped. Stuart threw a snowball that barely missed my head. I accepted his challenge and the iight was on. Sharonne ducked behind a tree shouting encouragement to both sides. Suddenly the door opened, and Grandmother, wrapped in a heavy, old-fashioned shawl, called, You had better come inside now. You've been out long enough for the first time. The snow will still be there tomorrow. Ignoring our protests, she ushered us inside, where we shed our wraps before the open fire. Grandfather was lounging comfortably in a huge arm- chair. Someone is living in the old Brewster house, he announced. I saw smoke coming from the chimney yesterday morning. Someone lives in that old run-down place? inquired Grandmother. Why it's not it to live in. Are you sure? No, I'm not mistaken, he answered. Tom Davis saw a big car there, too. One of these days we'll have to call on our new neighbors. Sharonne and I looked at each other. The same idea popped, simultane- ously into our heads. Who were our new neighbors? The next day, if the weather permitted, we would call upon the occupants of the old Brewster farms. The next morning we drafted Stuart into our plans. He was as enthusiastic as we were. Telling Grandmother that we were going to hike in the snow, we strapped on our snowshoes and glided away. During our summer visits, we had roamed over the Brewster farm to our hearts' content. Deserted years ago by the heirs of old Mr. Brewster as a result of disagreements over the estate, the farm, once the finest estate of that area, was now over-run by weeds and underbrush. As we approached the house, we gasped involuntarily at the sight which greeted us. The building, which we remembered as a massive, stone affair with heavily clinging vines, presented a bleak and desolate appearance. Great cracks were visible on the steps and pillars of the porch, and rotten, old shutters hung from the windows. Stuart raised the large brass knocker on the door and let it fall with a bang, which echoed loudly through the vast empty rooms. Becoming bolder, I turned the knob of the door, which to our surprise, opened easily. Bidding Stuart to go first, we entered and found ourselves in a huge reception hall. At one end we saw a voluminous, carved stairway, down which many great ladies had walked during visits to the old house. We gazed at the dust covered stairway for a while, and then walked on down the hall. Sharonne and I followed Stuart through several rooms in which the few remaining pieces of furniture were covered with dirty pieces of cloth. We were beginning to believe that Grandfather had been mistaken in telling us of the If wi Fifty- three Cacluceua inhabitants of the house, when as we entered a dark hallway, Stuart motioned for us to stop. The dead silence which followed was broken by the stealthy footsteps. Sharonne caught me by the hand and gripped it so tightly, that I involuntarily winced. The footsteps passed quite near us. A door opened on squeaky hinges and, to our amazement, we saw an Indian pass down the hall. Had I not placed a warning hand on her mouth, Sharonne would have screamed with terror. Stuart whispered, l'Indians! Wow! Let's get out of here. Some neighbors! Swiftly he led the way back to the front door. Upon opening it, we were greeted by a rush of wind and snow. Of all the luck! I muttered. During our survey of the house, another blizzard had come up without our noticing it. What could we do? There was no chance of getting home in that storm. We'd only lose our way if we tried to leave. We can't stay here, wailed Sharonne, HThat Indian probably has a whole tribe with him. They'll scalp us. A'Nonsense, I retorted scornfully, Hlndians don't scalp people any more. Besides, it's against the law. It's getting colder in here. Brrrrrl Stuart suggested that possibly the Indian had a fire, and that maybe he would share it with us. Sharonne demurred but I was all for it. After several minutes of arguing with Sharonne, we made our way back to where we had seen the Indian. Stuart cautiously opened the door and we peered into a room, which had probably been the kitchen of the house. A fire roared in the huge Hreplace. An Indian squaw sat on the floor before it holding a little papoose. The man sat on a table smoking, oddly enough, a cigarette. My nose Hlled unexpectedly with dust causing me to sneeze. The Indians eyes were instantly upon us. HI-low, said Stuart in his best Indian accent, have you got-um fire that we can get-um heap warm by? Certainly, replied the Indian in perfect English as he suppressed a smile, come right into the kitchen. I am James Stevens, known to my tribesmen, the Pawnees, as Fleet Deer. My wife is Ellen, better known as Little Bear, and the baby is James, Jr., usually called Eagle Feather. Stuart made the introduction and explained our presence in the house. Fleet Deer responded that they were returning to their reservation after touring the country with a Wild West show. His family had become tired. They had accidentally found the deserted house, and had decided to camp a few days. In the meantime, the blizzard had come up, trapping them with no food. The storm continued to rage as we became acquainted with Fleet Deer's family. Fleet Deer and Little Bear were both lawyers with regular practices. To Sharonne's consternation, Stuart insisted upon telling of her fear of being scalped. Little Bear brought forth a curiously shaped doeskin bag, opened it, and displayed many curious objects, among which were a tomahawk, a beaded tunic, several hand-made bracelets, two beautiful feathered head-dresses, and a primitive mill, consisting of a round stone with a hole in the middle in which to place the grain, and a smaller stone with which to grind the grain. This last interested us especially. After Little Bear demonstrated its use, we had to try it, too. Stuart donned one of the head-dresses: grabbed the tomahawk, and playfully motioned as though he would scalp Sharonne, who shrieked and ran to the other end of the room. After looking at my watch, I became convinced that I was quite hungry and that probably the others were too. As always, Sharonne was the first to voice her hunger. We haven't eaten since breakfast, she complained. I'm hungry, aren't you? Fifty-four 60611160515 Our food supply was exhausted last night, apologized Little Bear. We've only a bit of milk left for Eagle Feather. The possibility of eating being nil, we decided to look for bedding with which to make beds on the floor. Investigation had proved that the storm would last through the night. Upstairs in the old-fashioned bedrooms, Little Bear, Sharonne, and I rum- maged through chests in search of blankets and pillows. The rooms were all in wild disorder as if someone had left in a hurry, taking only barest necessi- ties. Old clothes were scattered about. Several trunks stood half-packed with thick layers of dust covering them. We found old tintypes of people, probably the Brewster family. I would have stayed longer, exploring those interesting nooks and corners, but Sharonne begged that we leave as soon as we found our bedding. The bedding secured, we returned to the kitchen to lind Stuart and Fleet Deer gone. Little Bear warmed the remaining bit of milk in a little pan and fed it to the papoose. Sharonne and I looked on wistfully. I began to think of the flap-jacks and sausages, which Grandmother had piled high on our plates that morning at breakfast. O, how hungry I was! My dream was rudely shattered by a cry from Stuart, as he and Fleet Deer returned. They had been exploring the cellar. In one of the deep, dark labyrinths. they had found some ears of popcorn. We greeted the sight of the ears with delight. Let's pop it, suggested Stuart: but I thought I had a better idea. Why not let Little Bear grind it with her mill and make corn cakes from the meal? I asked. Everyone instantly endorsed my plan. As Little Bear ground the corn, I opened the back door and scooped up some snow into a pan we had found in the pantry. I set the snow over the fire and melted it. This gave us some water. Further search among Little Bear's luggage brought a frying pan, some salt and pepper, and a bit of lard. By mixing the cornmeal with the salt, pepper and water, Little Bear obtained a thin, lumpy batter. Eagerly we watched her fry the cakes. There was an air of tense excitement about the kitchen. Finally, Little Bear pro- nounced them ready. She dealt them out, six to each of us. My, but they were delicious! Now, if someone would ask us to eat them, I suppose we'd probably turn up our noses. As we were eating, Stuart whispered to me, I hope that Grandmother and Grandfather aren't worrying about us. I suppose they'll have someone out looking for us. Yes, I agreed, but don't mention it to Sharonne. She'd have hysterics. We can't do anything about it. Stuart smiled as I said this and returned to his half-eaten cake. Later, as we spread our pallets on the floor in front of the fire, Sharonne said softly to me, A'Isn't it strange how all sorts of people meet and become friends, when they seek shelter from a storm? If we had seen Fleet Deer and Little Bear in that rodeo, we probably would have glanced curiously at them and gone on. We would never have learned to know them. Astonished at such a speech from scatter-brained Sharonne, I nodded in agreement. How true her statement really was! The next morning we were awakened by heavy knocks and loud shouts at the back door. Fleet Deer opened it, and there we saw Grandfather and a group of neighbors who had been searching for us. Joyfully we greeted them. They confronted us with many questions, which we tried confusedly to answer. Fifty-five CQJMCQUJ Grandfather invited Fleet Deer, Little Bear, and their baby to return home with us. We all laughed gaily at the amazement on Grandmother's face as she opened the door and saw the Indian family. Instantly, however, she recovered from her surprise, and had us all seated comfortably in front of the fire warming ourselves, while she bustled about preparing a piping hot breakfast for us. After the meal, Fleet Deer and the neighbors swapped yarns about the old days, while Little Bear made friends with Grandmother, who afterwards declared, Land sakes, Little Bear is the most civilized savage I've ever seen. She's a regular lady! The next morning, Grandfather and the neighboring farmers obtained a snow plow and returned to the Brewster house to dig Fleet Deer's car out from under the immense drifts that had covered it. That afternoon we gathered on the front porch to bid our friends goodbye. As they drove away in their expensive car, I could not help wondering if our paths would ever cross again. When attending Wild West shows, we carefully scrutinize every Indian, hoping some day to recognize our friends. Each year when we visit our grandparents' home, many an evening is spent speculating about our redskin friends. Have they given up touring with the rodeos? Have they settled down to their law practices? Has Eagle Feather become as delightful to know as his parents: and some day will We find him chanting a Pawnee war-song in a traveling Wild West shown?

O Lord, there's a Bridge to be built, a Forest to be cleared, and a Song to be sung! But if the bridge is to span, carrying brothers' love: If the woods are to be cleared to admit the rays of learning: If the silence is to sing with the swell of poetry: Lord, there's a Builder to be built, There's a Woodsman to be carved, There's a Bard to be inspired! Fifty-six Cacluceuzi INELIGIBLE IAN CROWDER Oh, gosh! I don't seem to get anywhere with these problems! But Lynn, Alice Patterson replied, worriedly, 'iYou have to pass your math this term. Look! Even if you are ineligible for football, You want to be able to play on the basketball team, don't you? ' 'Yeah, sure--' ' Well? But I don't see any sense to this stuff. I know. I know you don't. If you only did-- Alice's brow was puckered into a tiny frown. I haven't been much of a help so far, have I? Always shy and inarticulate with girls, Lynn Hughes didn't know what to answer. A junior at Beldon High, a popular letterman with both team- mates and coach, he was feeling keenly his failure in mathematics and the need for a Service Club student coach. That this coach should be a pretty girl added to his discomiiture. Finally Lynn mumbled something that might have been, Better get on with these problems. As the weeks passed, Beldon's eleven managed to win its first live games. And Coach Benjamin managed to lose some of the all too few remaining hairs on his head, for all of the scores were close. Only one game remained. the play-off for city championship, the game with Beldon's traditional rival, Douglas High. During these weeks Lynn Hughes, standing by nervously on the side- lines, was dejected and elated by turns. Although he was eating, sleeping, and living football , he was making a sincere effort to improve his school work. More and more Alice Patterson's natural, pleasing ways were making him less shy. One morning before school, during the week preceding the big game, the two were sitting on a first floor bench struggling with a geometric theorem. In the hall students were milling about and there was the unintelligible hum of many voices. Lynn's attention wandered to the main entrance and he absentmindedly noted Coach Benjamin entering. Alice said, Maybe we better try that statement again. What? Oh, oh sureln Lynn brought his attention back sharply and gazed fixedly at the drawing he had made for the proposition. 'Okay. Let's see, trihedral angles. Well-ah-the sum of-Alice! I've got an idea that -Here, give me that pencil-- Alice, startled by his abruptness, meant to say, Waitl but Lynn was well on his way to the end of the corridor toward Coach Benjamin. When she finally reached the pair she saw that Lynn had all sorts of circles and crosses scribbled over his geometry paper and she heard him say, and, Coach, it might work! Well, Coach Benjamin said skeptically, but he reached for the paper and stuffed it in his pocket before he walked on, I'll think it over, Lynn. Fifty-seven CGJMCQUJ Lynn turned to Alice and apologized, I shouldn't have left you that way. Then seeing her puzzled look, he explained, When I was looking at that Hgure it suddenly flattened out and looked like a plane and something about it gave me an idea for a play. Lynn looked puzzled himself. Freak, he thought, I am going bats, dashing up to Coach like. . . He spoke. It wasn't such a good idea anyway, I guess. Alice looked at her watch, then said, Here, Lynn. I picked up your books. It's almost time for class. Thanks He didn't take the books. Uh, Alicei- She promptly forgot books, geometry, football. Women have an instinct for these things. She lifted her lovely eyes. Well-ah-about the game. Would you-ah-- Alice let out her breath. Oh, yes, she said quickly. The bell rang. Lynn grabbed his books and bolted. Safely around the corner he paused, drew his handkerchief across his forehead and upper lip. He thought, Whewl Saved by the bell . . . and she accepted . . . and all those guys always hanging around . . . Alice, going to the second floor, clung to the railing for the first few steps. She thought, Well, you little dope, what are you shaking for.. .you have had plenty of dates. . .but this is what you wanted, isn't it. . . I think I'll get a yellow sweater . . . Girls are so practical minded. The afternoon of the big game came. The autumn air was crisp and the day bright with sunlight. Alice, her yellow sweater contrasting with the blue of her wool reefer, was as golden as the day itself. Lynn was positive he had the best looking date in the stadium. He was excited and tense, but happy, Lynn, just what are our chances against Douglas today? A'Fifty-fifty. Luck will have- His voice was drowned out by the terrific roar that went up from the crowd as the two teams trotted out onto the field. Expectancy could almost be felt in the stands. . . First quarter, 0-0. Second quarter, still O-0. During the half, moans and groans and other sounds of dissatisfaction came from the fans of both elevens. Although both teams were playing excellent defensive football, the crowd wanted action. The third quarter followed the pattern of the first two. Toward the end of the fourth quarter,'Alice said, Oh, Lynn, if only the boys could get going! He agreed, It's beginning to wear me down, too. Well, if-Oh, now I can't see. I missed that play- Here, Alice. Lynn moved over a step, and grabbed her mittened hand in his, thrusting both deep into the huge pocket of his reversible. That Fifty-eight 66l6!uCell,5 better? She nodded and he said, Douglas had to punt and Chuck Andrews ran it back to the fifty. We'll probably take to the air- The ball was snapped back from the center to the quarterback. He started out around left-end but reversed the ball to left-half who in turn reversed it to the right-half. As he reached the line of scrimmage he threw a bullet pass to the left-end. Just as he was being brought down, he lateralled the ball to the right-end, who was finally tackled on the eight yard line. Lynn watched the play with complete disbelief. Alice, wildly cheering, looked up at him to share her enthusiasm. He was looking excited and pleased but more than that, incredulous. He stammered, Why, that play-It was-Why, it was m-mine. The coach really-Oh, man, if we can make the other eightln The team could and did. It took only two off tackle plays to put the ball over. Before Lynn's thoughts could become coherent, the final gun sounded with the score 6-0 in favor of Beldon. Lynn had been thinking. It worked . . . timing, good team-work, luck, but it worked . . . it helped . . . Confidence such as he hadn't known for weeks surged through him. I can lick that math, I'll stay eligible. . . eligible enough for Alice, too. . . Lynn, she said. That play. I think it was wonderful. They looked at one another with frank, unguarded eyes. He grinned down at her, all shyness gone. l'Okay, Coach, he said, how about some food? EPITAPI-l IAN CROWDER Here lies the body of a New Jay When found, was a broken mass. He dashed down the hall. Went straight through the wall On the way to his first hour class! Fifty-nine 66lJuC2u5 FURY IN THE FOREST ADELE CHMIELECKI in OLAND in the year 1780 was a land of peasants, of wine, gay village ,ij gi, festivals, and belief in the supernatural. It was a time when even a Eg: fairly well-to-do farmer had to grope through the darkness of his T uneducated mind in order to protect his possessions. It was also the age in which Stanislaw Labowski, a gay old blade in my family history, lived, worked, and died in the village of Galicia. Stanislaw's position was one of honor in the town--chief landowner and operator of the only planing-mill for miles around. His regular Saturday night visits to the tavern were greeted with respect and appropriate awe. Grandfather, from whom I learned this story, always began his tale about the family black sheep in a low, mysterious voice .... Stanislaw Labowski shook his heavy head and a low pounding sounded in his ears. Slowly he opened his eyes and looked dazedly around him. He was lying in a frozen clearing in the middle of the Durze Forest. The gnarled branches bowed down under the December wind, and a white moon hung in the clear sky. An inquisitive owl looked on with Vacant eyes-but there was no sign of the fearful struggle that had just taken place. In his confused mind Labowski tried to piece together the previous incidents of that night: he had been at the Wesoly Tavern with his friends, as was his custom each Saturday night. He had left early-l :OO A. M.-and was walking home when he suddenly found himself at the edge of the black, leering forest. It had usually been his practice to avoid entirely that terror-filled wood, but he plunged on feeling suddenly very brave and fearless. Then, as silently as a breeze passes, a million attackers fell upon him from every side: he was overcome and bewildered: he kicked and clawed frantically: but the demons became wilder and stronger. His limbs began to respond like leaden weights: his eyes suddenly became heavy . . . and so Labowski found himself lying in the snow in the middle of the Durze Forest. No wounds, no injuries, no sign of a struggle. . .just the owl, the creaking branches, the snowy expanse, and that persistent throbbing in his head. Labowski raised himself carefully, brushed the snow off his green velvet cloak and a smooth bit of parchment pinned carefully to his sleeve was revealed in the moonlight! TyIko jeden tok, Stanislaw Labowski! the note warned. Only one year? he mused in a low voice. First this encounter with his unseen enemy and now this. A look of bewilderment passed over his face. He shrugged his shoulders: put his shaking hand to his throbbing head, and started dazedly homeward. In those days when sorcery and witchcraft were all too eagerly recognized and punished, Labowski's encounter with the unknown was easily believed. Curious neighbors and friends and even the Braciszek from the church called at his home to listen closely to the mystic account. They left with a feeling of apprehension and dread, positive that Stanislaw was in league with the spirits. But who would go so far as to accuse openly the wealthiest and most influential land-owner in Galicia? Sixty Cacluceua December, 1782, and another year had flown. A celebration at the La- bowski home to which farmers, merchants, and church members alike were welcome. A moaning icy wind chasing itself around the corners of the house was far away from the merry-makers inside. Wine was flowing freely and a smoky blue haze from a score of pipes filled the room. A polite knock on the door got but little attention from the group. A tall gaunt man in an ill-fitting coat and large flapping boots glided in followed by a furious gust of wind. The stranger, for he was entirely unknown to those in the room, essayed not a word but turned his black, empty eyes directly to the face of the host-Stanislaw Labowski, across whose face a look of terror flickered and was gone. With slow, deliberate movements Stanislaw shrugged himself into his great-coat, turned to his puzzled company, and said in a dull, dry voice, 'Business in the forest. Goodbye. Before the startled guests had recovered their senses, their host and the stranger had departed. Suddenly, as if awakening from a dream, Walenty Sobieski leaped to the door to call to the departed Labowski. The company followed him peering out of windows and shouting after their host. The moon was high and bright: the ground smooth and frozen: the plains silent and-deserted. The party found him that night lying in the clearing, dressed in his green velvet cloak. A tiny bit of parchment gleamed in the moonlight- Rok sie unkonczylf' He lay in the clearing that had once been the Durze Forest-the clearing that had been made for next spring planting. The year is ended said the parchment. And the owl nodded aflirmation. Sixty -one Caalww A ONCE TOLD TALE JERRY FOWLER 'VE heard many tall tales while peregrinating this wide world, some tall, some almost unbelievable, and many bordering on the fantastic: but the tales concerning Clarence Moses O'Halley have always left me somewhat in a quandary. l'Mose, it seems, was wanted by every law-enforcing body in the Ear East. He was wanted in Shanghai for stealing a British gunboat: in Burma for borrowing three hundred kilts of Her Majesty's highly touted dragoons: in Delhi for ringing in the New Year at the tolling end of the sacred bell of Pasha: and in Nepal for kidnapping a magistrate of the Queen, then having him confined in a Tibetan monastery. Fantastic, you say? I say no, not in the days of '85, while the good Queen Victoria was reigning. Then why did he go to so much trouble to irritate the British of India? Well, O'Halley was Irish, a former friend of Parnell, and a Hrm believer in Irish home rule. His doctrine was: If we can't have home rule, then I'll tear up the British Empire myself. He did his best. Mose had once been a rather wealthy Irish landowner, but in his soul he did a deep-rooted urge to be Hon the go. One day he sold his property, pocketed the money, put his remaining cash in Irish stocks, and turned east. l'Mose's first stop was Bombay. Besides being decidedly anti-British, l'Mose had an insatiable desire for the occult. Deciding that Bombay was too tame, he headed inland for the province of Punjab. Within a year Caccording to historyj he spoke about sixteen dialects, was a Mohammedan, Brahman, Taoist, and star member in a war cult or two. He could cheat the shrewdest fakir at his own game, and even learned to smoke cow-dung cigars. Yes, Clarence Moses O'Halley had gone quite native. With a background like this, mischief was natural. It had been a law since the days of Buddha that no Hdogs of infidels were to witness the induction of a member into the order of Bal. O'Halley not only saw an induction but was inducted. At the end of the ceremony Mose, in his heartiest Irish brogue, sang out Killarney and asked three cheers for the good Queen Victoria. After having distributed a round of bruised jaws and an ample supply of black eyes, lVIose stole the gold fetish of Bal and retired to the hills. As a result of this incident, Britain had to quell about ten native uprising and was in hot water for years. I see that matter of British gunboats bothering you. It began with O'Halley's being robbed one night by some Chinese pirates in Shanghai. Not liking the thought of having lost his wallet, Mose decided to retrieve it, and quickly. Seeing that his recent friends had put out toward the rising sun, O'Halley took the best thing handy-a British gunboat. This meant ducking two of Her Majesty's tars: but, after all, they were sailors. Following instructions as given at the point of a two-inch deck-gun, the pirates returned Mose's wallet, plus a few trinkets they had acquired here and there. A few days later, a couple of spars from a junk commonly known to have belonged to a group of missing pirates, floated into the harbor at Shanghai. I believe Mose still refers to the gunboat as his private summer yacht. Sixry-two CQJUCQU5 I ran upon i'Mose in Java, Ceylon, Hejaz, Iran, Burma: but he was always leaving hurriedly and always leaving the British holding the bag. O'Halley's final bid for glory was the stealing of a Siamese white elephant. I-Ie had always wanted to own one of those expensive creatures: so he began plotting. Under the pretense of being an elephant-tender, he gained entrance to the court and stained one of the white elephants belonging to the king, grey. The next day he took the beast out as if it were a common work- animal. When the almost frantic Siamese caught up with their pet, they found it wearing this sign Home Rule for Ireland . The English never heard the last of this. Probably Mose would have continued his life of baiting the British lion until some headhunter, Indian maharajah, or British troop got him, but his love for native life drew him back to Punjab. When I last saw Clarence Moses O'I-Ialley, he was preaching a holy war against the white oppressors to a circle of dirty-turbaned Muslims. SOFTLY IT COMES IAN CROWDER It could be...

Before the majority of students have rubbed the sleep from their eyes, the band members are struggling through a daily morning practice session, and the custo- dians are two or three hours along with their work. All day long there is the din of recitation or lecture: the fumes from industrious chem classes: twittering in the library: concentration CU in math classes: and humming activity in the school ofiice. There are the ever-welcome Maud sessions invariably heralded with glee by most of the students: for whether it's a pep session, lecture or special entertainment, someone escapes a gym class, or a gruesome fifth-hour class is shortened. And lest we forget, something must be said about the lunch periods. Students may sleep through the first four periods of the day, but with the approach of noon either an alarm rings within or tempting odors from below stimulate the brain, and our sleepy-heads become erstwhile race-horses, tugging at the reins. Such energy is not equaled until exactly twenty-four hours later. Even after the last bell of the day has rung and the corridors are cleared of homeward bound students, Beaumont is yet far from inactive. Lusty letter- men and other aspiring boys spend hour after hour often until past dinner- time in grueling basketball and football practice. Between two-thirty and five o'clock world questions are heatedly discussed: current literature criticized or approved: Shakespearian dramas rehearsed: and the mysteries of nature investigated, among many other things. Often voluntary rehearsals for school presentations last longer than the time spent in the classroom but somewhere along about five-thirty Mr. Huntington gathers up his homework for the evening in his brown briefcase and through darkened, deserted corridors leaves the building. Day school has officially closed. But Beaumont's job is only half completed, for with dusk comes another night-school session. Graduates come for further training in commercial courses: women, for home economics courses: men, for commercial law, mathematics and English, etc.: and while the minutes slip by, Beaumont is again in the throes of concentration. But about nine-thirty students once more gather texts and wraps and, this time a little more hurriedly, leave the building. By ten o'clock the lights in the classrooms and corridors have disappeared, the doors are locked, and Beaumont retires for the night.

Our high hopes were dampened when surprise teams from other schools appeared. We finished in 6th place, winning from Central, McKinley, and Cleveland and losing to Soldan, Southwest and Roosevelt. We had good material and received careful guidance from our coach, Mr. Backus. This was one of the poorest seasons ever experienced by a Beaumont team.

Returning Lettermen Good Prospects Richard Weber Bob Jacob Bill Wibbing Marvin Frazer Ed Wamhoff Seventy-six CGCIUCQUJ FALL TRACK NORBERT STOCKE This fall, Coach Duggins conceived the idea of having a fall track octa- thlon. It was the Hrst time that fall track work was ever attempted at Beaumont, with the exception of cross-country meets. The purpose of this fall track program was to find new material or talent for our 1942 track team. This program was particularly helpful to the new-comers at Beaumont and to the other boys who had not been out for track before. It gave them an oppor- tunity to become acquainted with the various events before the spring track season begins. After spending a period of three weeks in training, we began to run off eight events that would ordinarily be included in a regular track meet. These were run off on different days of the week, with not more than two events a night. They are as follows: In the dashes we had the 50, the 100, and the 220: and also the 75-yard Junior Low Hurdles, and the 880-yard Run, or Half-Mile. In the field events we had the High Jump, Broad Jump, and Shot Put. The scoring of the points was based on the contestant's time, rather than his final position in the race in which he was entered. The highest number of points that a contestant could receive in one event was 1000. In order to earn these 1000 points, the contestant must tie the public high school record. At the end of the Octathlon the points were added up, and the results are listed below. SENIORS 1. Stocke .....,.... 5,139 2. R. Gilmore .... 5,080 3. Hartman ...,,... 4,637 4. Wood ........ 4,572 5.

Because of unfavorable conditions, the Inter-City Golf Tournament will be held in May instead of October as scheduled in the two previous years.

These boys, in addition to Don Pierce, Bob Brennan, and Fred Oberheide, have represented Beaumont in the two matches fired so far. Of these two matches. one with Country Day School and the other with Principia, Beaumont lost the first but won the second. Matches with seven other schools remain to be fired to complete the season.

Only two of the defeats were league games in the '41 campaign. The season opened with a rosy outlook, the Blue Jackets defeating St. Louis University High 19-O, Roosevelt 14-0, and Central 12-O. Then along came Soldan and Southwest, who won '52-O and I9-0, respectively. Cleveland then fell before the Blue Jackets 13-O, only to be followed by a I2-0 defeat by Maplewood. The next game was the McKinley game which ended in a 0-O tie. The Blue Jackets then wound up their season with a trip to Vicksburg, Mississippi, where they met defeat, 14-7, by Carr Central High of that city.

Eighty-two CGJUCQU5 BASKETBALL DON PINK In recent years basketball has taken its place among the major sports of the nation. Since Beaumont is no exception, this should be a big year. Returning lettermen are: Bob Enk, Art Saey, Ed Moreland, Jim Solari, Art Demling, and Jack Maguire. Good prospects for the year are: Paul Handler, Winston Gintz, Vern Endraske, Clarence Schuettenberg, Don Cheswick, Don Fink, Wayne Eberhardt, Harvey Eckley, Emmett Sharkey, Dale Massey, Norvell Maxwell, Ed Eisfelder, Art Brucker, and Ray Diering. If you remember the Soldan-Beaumont game last year, you will realize what a team we have this season. Last year our team had a severe blow dealt them through the graduation, but the others on the squad carried on cou- rageously. This year the boys are out to atone for their slight mishap last year. The spirit on the team is very high and competition is keen. To urge the boys on, the team has a game in Paducah, Kentucky. Another aim for a Beaumont team always is the Normandy Christmas Tournament. In addition it might be said that the basketball team hopes the spirit of the school is as high as the team's.

Cavluceud THE LAST WORD JERRY FOWLER ' Can you imagine going through Beaumont one day Without hearing the name Janet Sandler? Neither can I: nor can the majority of Beaumont's many students. Enthusiasm plus ability--that's Janet all over. She's a mem- ber of the Shakespeare Club, Forum Workshop, Service Club, president of the Witenagemot, and editor-in-chief of the CADUCEUS. Janet has entered several oratorical contests, placing Znd in the American Legion contest: has displayed her versatility by appearing in Bachelor Born , and is on the Senior Executive Committee. You're wrong there, fellows: she isn't a bookworm or class A child prodigy. She likes horseback riding and swimming and indulges a bit in tennis. As for hobbies, Janet likes: classical music, concerts, operas, theatre Clegitimatej, and Shakespeare in small doses. Janet likes many things and dislikes few. Her likes are: vitamin pills, Begin the Beguine , Errol Flynn, potato-dressing, gardenias, people, and especially perfume. Her dream man need only be fairly good-looking and a gentleman. You're wondering about her pet hate. Well, it's rutabagas. GYM CLUB ROBERT BUIT The Gym Club is now under the new and capable sponsorship of Mr. Ehlert who formerly coached in the high school at Collinsville, Illinois. The club has adopted a new name Gymkhana Troupe which means a group or gathering of gymnasts. The club is divided into two groups, associate members and active members. The associate members are the beginners of the club. The active members belong to the more advanced group, from which the Gym Team will be picked for the Interscholastic High School Meet to be held in the spring. For one to become an active member he must learn required gymnastic stunts The club is encouraging all the boys who are interested in gymnastics and want to have a lot of fun as well as to build up their bodies to join the Gymkhana Troupe.

With a list of more than 1750 subscribers the editorial and business staffs can congratulate themselves on a job well done. At the beginning of the term the entire staff cast themselves feverishly into the preparation of an Maud session. For weeks we wrote sketches, moved props , rehearsed, and conferred and the result, we think, was worth the effort. With the Snooper and the Old Judge, the breathless sportscaster, and the Novelty Orchestra, the two Maud sessions were successful. Thus, the Digest was off to a good start by creating a favorable first impression. lt is difficult to say who gets the most fun out of the 'ADigest -the student body or the staHf members.

What makes you think so? Well, there are several reasons: First of all, their meetings in the 'aud' on Friday are just chuck full of cheers, entertainment, and talks by the coach and our heroes . Then there are the football games. The Pepperettes are out there straining their vocal chords to help the team come through with honors. How can I join the Pepperettes, Jane? Just by buying a football or basketball pass. This ticket admits you to the thrilling games and also the exciting meetings. Well, tell me, who are the officers of this 'peppy' organization?

We have a membership of over three hundred and meet on the iirst Tuesday of each month at l:45 p. m. in Room 302 at the school. Witli the splendid cooperation of our Program Committee, consisting ol' Miss Ada l.a Berge, chairman, Miss Else Brix, Miss Sara Conlon, Mr. Ernest Prang Stamm, and Mr. Albert H. Huntington, the meetings are both educa- tional and entertaining. The loyal support of the various committees, as well as that of each individual member, has enabled the Mothers' Club to enjoy Fifteen happy and successful years. Each meeting we enjoy the interesting talks by our principal, Mr. Hunting- ton, and are kept well informed about the many activities of the school. lt is the purpose of this organization to obtain broader knowledge of educational subjects: to advance the interests of education: to promote the welfare of the pupils: and to bring into close touch the parents and the teaching staff of the school. Our own Choral Club, under the direction of Mr. Stamm, is steadily growing, and any member of the Mothers' Club who enjoys singing is welcome to join. Ninety -Iwo CGJUCQUJ Mrs. Clinnie Dill Pavlick has just completed two very successful years as president of the club, and now under the able guidance of our new president we will continue to go forward.

Gallagher Vice-President Mrs. Jos. Epstein Secretary Mrs. J. R. Lucks Treasurer Mrs. Eugene Seitz Executive Chairman Mrs. Clinnie Dill Pavlick PATRON S SIGMOND RosE Another class of graduates is ready to leave Beaumont to make its way through life. Those of us who have seen life at its best and at its worst, and who know what the world requires and asks, sometimes wonder whether these boys and girls fully realize what is before them and what the future can hold for them. We wonder whether they have applied themselves to the program which was outlined for them and whether they will make full use of the knowledge which their teachers tried to impart to them. In these modern times it has become necessary for all to use their mental faculties and their physical abilities to the fullest extent in order to survive. It is so easy to fall by the wayside, and the ranks of those who by their own neglect or through some other cause fail to make the grade are growing by leaps and bounds. Juvenile crime and dishonesty is increasing at an alarm- ing rate, often abetted by those in power and by some of those higher up. Let us hope that the boys and girls who are leaving Beaumont will make their way through life successfully, cleanly, and honestly, and to this end the Beaumont High School Patrons' Association sincerely wishes the graduates success and Godspeed for their future. To those who remain at Beaumont is given the assurance that the program of Fitting them for the future will receive the moral support and fullest coopera- tion from the Patrons' Association. Ninety- three Cl MCQUJ ALFRED MARSHALL CLUB JANET SANDLER The Alfred Marshall Club was organized years ago in an effort to give students a practical understanding of sociology. In order to accomplish this we go on Weekly trips under the guidance of our sponsor, Miss Hudler. VJQ have watched the work of hundreds whose speed is set by the conveyor belt: we have seen hazards and difficulties minimized by careful and sympathetic plant management. Hostess Cake Company, Coca Cola, Pevely Dairy, and the National Candy Company are the plants We have visited so far this term and We are planning a trip to the Union Biscuit Company and the St. Louis slums. At Neighborhood House We saw children, whose mothers must work, cared for in modern, scientific day-nurseries, and underprivileged children at Wholesome recreation furnished by the house. On our picnic-trip to Belle- fontaine Farm we combined a survey of rehabilitation of youth with a Wiener roast on the grounds. The club is so large this term that the same trip must be given on several days in order to accommodate all those desiring to go, and therefore, we have discontinued our discussion meetings.

Nadine Merk and Dorothy Robing take care of our secretarial matters, and Audrey Voss has charge of our library. Virginia Harper is the correspondent for CADUCEUS and Digest , Our activities for the past term have included singing for the Mothers' Club, for Open House. and on a number of Christmas programs. In the Pageant held at Municipal Auditorium for the Missouri State Teachers' Asso- ciation we joined the choirs from Blewett, Roosevelt, and Cleveland High Schools in a large choral unit. Our boys also participated in the Civil War scene together with the Senior Boys' Cilee Club of Beaumont and a group of boys from Central High School. We gave our annual dance in October with the Novelty Orchestra as the musical entertainment. A good lunch and attractive table decorations helped to make the occasion most enjoyable.

This is why the Skating Club is one of the largest and most popular clubs at Beau- mont. lt has a membership of a hundred boys. Our members are entitled to roller skate at the Crystal Rink every Tuesday and ice-skate at the Winter Garden every Friday, each at reduced rates. Of course, the annual picnic is always the outstanding event in the activities of the club. Our membership includes many dexterous, fancy skaters as well as many ambitious beginners. So whatever type of skater you may be you will be welcome in the Skating Club, Why not join? The time? Any fourth period. The place? Room 2Ol.

This exhibit, which was brought to America for the World's Fair in l904, is a reproduction of the famous exhibit at Saalburg, Austria. Other events on the term's calendar included a lecture by Father Heithaus of St. Louis University, a Thanksgiving feast presented in a Roman manner, a movie, and a Christmas party.

One of the main projects the Glee Club undertook this term was the Musica Missourianan and also our tribute to Dr. Beaumont. This ceremony was held at Dr. Beaumonts grave. Sixteen boys sang Tenting on the Old Camp Ground and The Song of Peace. Much of the success of the club is due to our most capable sponsor and leader, Mr. Stamm.

We take the musical human beings off the shelf, dust them, spruce them up, and try very hard to breathe life into them so that for a brief space of time they actually re-enact their former exist- ence in our musical offerings. We are now studying some of the works of Bach. Berlioz, Delibes, Coleridge, Taylor, and Friml. The orchestra, although a credit organization, might well be termed a club, for there is a close fellowship between all of us and also with our director, Miss Brix. Each term a party or picnic is planned. During the past term a costume party was given in the girls' gymnasium, at which a number of members displayed great originality. A number of our members who belong to the All City High Orchestra played for the pageant given at the Missouri State Teachers' Convention. Our orchestra consists of thirty-four members, some of whom have excellent ability. We will welcome any player of an orchestral instrument who might be interested in joining.

Every boy and girl naturally has an overdose of vitality and craves activities. .lust there the club steps in and offers opportunities. From the very name of the club you can see its two main purposes: l. First of all we are interested in history, not only past but present- current events that are happening about us and that are affecting our every day lives. Our sponsor says: By studying the past we may better understand the present and be more capable of planning for the future, and this time. we believe him. l-ively debates and discussions are also a part of our well-rounded program. 2. Secondly, we take many trips to the places of interest in St. Louis and here we really have fun. Besides learning many things, we also make many new friends. You know. if you only look around you will discover that this city and state of ours are very rich in places of interest. Our sponsor, Mr. Kanazireff, is the spark in our drive for active under- takings.

Book reports are limited to three minutes, during which time the reviewer criticises the book she has read and gives her opinion of it. All types of books are read-history, travel, biography, and fiction. The fourth Thursday of the month is the special day of our monthly club calendar. Can you guess? Why, of course, it is our social meeting. At this time we may visit the Central Library, a newspaper plant, a bakery, or some other interesting place. So, you see, we gain knowledge, and have lots of fun doing it, both from books and from going places. Each term we have our extra special merry-making occasion: perhaps this may be a picnic or a Wiener roast. Then, too, as is our new custom, we celebrate Book Week with a tea for representatives from English one, two, and three classes and their teachers.

Here in Beaumont there convenes a group which most heartily exercises this librety. This organization is known as the Witenagemot, or Debating Club, which meets on alternate Tuesdays at 2:45 in Room 318. A wide range of questions for debate are chosen from school, civic, and national fields. Interest is never lacking and rules of debate become easy to learn in this manner. After the decision of the formal debate has been announced, the question of the day is presented to the club for open forum discussion. This part of the program offers opportunity to all in the expression of their ideas and training for formal debate. The Witenagemot again extends an invitation to interested students to attend meetings, learn about our work and join us.

These are some of the various things that a Shakespeare Club member has been able to do this term. You are probably Wondering about this. Here is the explanation: each term the Shakespeare Club selects one of Shakespeare's plays to study, after which the club is divided into groups. Each group is required to present one of the acts to the best of its ability. This term the club selected Romeo and Juliet . If you happen to hear Marie Koehr or Myrnah McIntyre quoting such famous lines as O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name: or Wiley Hance and George Bohn repeating, My name, dear saint, is hateful to myself, because it is an enemy to thee, don't be surprised. They are only a few of the many other members who have been learning their parts in various acts of the play. Not only does each member have a great deal of fun at the meetings, but he continuallyreceives a greater and keener appreciation for the writings of the great master of drama, William Shakespeare. This term the club was honored by the presence of Dr. Frank P. Sullivan, a member of the St. Louis University faculty, who gave a very enthusiastic account of life in the days of Shakespeare and Chaucer. This was an occasion that will long be remembered by everyone present. We have a long waiting list of candidates who are eligible for membership, but if your scholastic record is up to par Can essential requirementj and you are interested in this type of work, see our sponsor, Miss Donnelly, as soon as possible.

'AGoing skating? You are! Swell! I'll see you out there. Of course you know right away that the speaker is one of a large number of Beaumont girls who belong to the Ice Skating Club. Every Friday skating sessions are held at the Winter Garden. Some girls go skating just for the fun of it and some who are seriously interested in skating as a sport, enter competition for the letters which are awarded for doing a half-mile in two and one-half minutes. Therefore, girls, if you would like to become one of the active members of our skating club and would like to receive a special rate of admission to the Winter Garden, see one of our sponsors.

Perhaps one reason for this is that they want to keep their Hgures trim. At any rate, on any Tuesday afternoon you will find a group of very active girls splashing about the pool. This group is known as the Duck Club. Beginners and experts alike enjoy the water. Those girls able to swim the length of the pool may improve their swimming in the deep water, while the others remain at the shallow end to receive instructions. Any girl who enjoys playing about in the water is welcome to join. Captain Jeanne Bader Treasurer Gloria Goeckeler UDigest and CADUCEUS Correspondent Shirley Eilermann Sponsor Miss D.

There go the girls into the cool refreshing water of our own Beaumont pool. Thursday is here again and the Girls' Swimming Team is speedily gliding through the water. Because of the Telegraphic Meet with several of the other schools, we are chiefly devoting our time to speed this term. In a telegraphic meet the team of each school remains in its own pool, and there each swimmer is timed in her event. The records are either mailed or telegraphed to the other schools and the team having the best records, win the meet. This is the first time we have participated in such a meet. This term's swim sessions will be again highlighted by a play-day with Cleveland. The team practices every Thursday and try-outs are held at the beginning of each term.

CGJUCQUJ CHESS CLUB Etwoon ROSENKOETTER During this semester, the Chess Club made rapid progress. Many new members joined the club and showed their sincere interest by regular attendance at the meetings. A beginners' class was organized, and a team was picked to compete in the annual tournament of the Greater St. Louis High School Chess League. A careful post-mortem analysis of all the games played in the tournament helped to develop a team of strong players. Meetings of the club are held Tuesday and Thursday afternoons in Room 230. Chess players or those interested in learning how to play are welcome.

At the beginning of this semester, the Forum began, as their club project, the organization of a Club Congress. After discussing the possi- bilities of such an organization, the Forum invited representatives of other clubs to one of its regular meetings to give their opinions of the plan. The plan was approved by a majority of the clubs and was turned over to a Student Council committee for further development. At its meetings the Forum Club discusses popular community, school, national, and international problems. All who are interested in such a dis- cussion group are invited to join the Forum.

This is one of the Junior Boys' Glee Club's favorite songs, John Peel. You may hear it if you pass 304 the 3rd hour. The Junior Boys' Glee Club was founded in 1939, later was disbanded. and reopened in September, 1941. Its purpose is to train junior boys for senior singing groups. At the present the group is small but we hope to increase in membership in the near future. Boys of terms 1, 2, 3, and 4 who wish to join should see Miss Brix, the sponsor, before the opening of the new term. During the past term the Junior Boys had no social meeting of their own, but the regulars were invited to the Senior Mixed Chorus dance. Although this is a credit group for third- and fourth-termers, we all are acquainted with each other and manage to have a good time together. One Hundred Nineteen Cacluceua THE DIGEST fContinued from page 88.3 A busier group you will Iind nowhere. The typists work in the same oflice -deciphering our written pages, and tapping out a steady stream of words. At first glance all this may seem a bit confusing and nerve-wracking to the casual bystander, but to us it is exciting and full of unexpected surprises. When, every other Wednesday, we stand over the completed dummy , we can all chalk up another week of fun and interesting work. Stanley Schuman, assistant editor and Personality Column writer, has con- tributed his experience and ability again to the advantage of the Digest . Things I Saw was ably handled by Margaret Siebert, Wiley Hance injected his own humorous wit into the 'iSnooper , and Dorothy Brockhoff was a whimsical and clever Old Judge . Elwood Rosenkoetter, Charles Schmidt, and Paul Schulze, reported Beaumont's ups and downs in the athletic world. Marian Petersen was our tireless Club Editor, and to Albert DuRocher we owe the many now-famous Digest jokes. Tabler Sebastian, member of the Camera Club, contributed pictures of events in and about Beaumont. Harold Poth, cartoonist, put down his impressions of studentsand events in the form of clever drawings. The entire staff was expertly guided by the hand of Mr. Birr, the Digest sponsor. The staff will lose three members through graduation this term: Dorothy Brockhoff, Stanley Schuman, and ye olde editor. We will also lose three hard- working typists: Margaret Andrews, Audrey Bechler, and Violet Listrom.
