Text from Pages 1 - 152 of the 1944 volume:

Cacfuc 811,15 An aged negro slunk down the aisle carrying a bundle wrapped in dirty newspaper from which something was hanging. Suddenly a floor-girl appeared behind him, all out of breath, asking in a very definite tone of voice, Would you mind giving me those slips? The frightened man dropped the parcel as if it were on fire, and fled from the door, leaving behind him a half dozen slips he had concealed beneath the paper. He also left a trembling floor-girl who, to this day, doesn't know where she acquired the adrenalin to chase a man at top speed and have him leave her so fast! A grinning little colored boy strolled up to the perfume counter and sniffed each and every flask. He left the counter all upset without buying anything! The salesgirl stood there throwing daggers at him. A wiry little salesgirl was giving commands to the other two girls on her counter as fast as rain falls on a windowpane. However, the orders were immediately carried out, and in no time a magical transformation took place as the merchandise was put out and arranged in neat rows. A commotion was heard at the fountain, and a flustered young lady was between fainting and 'Aballing-out the waitress. The manager of the fountain immediately appeared with a pad of paper and took the woman's name and address. The cause of all the trouble was a roach, which was picked up and put into a jar in case the woman sued them and they would need evidence. The woman got up a little weakly and ambled to the door, slightly dazed. The waitress just stood there and shuddered. And to think I said that stuff was delicious at supper! l feel sick! A shrill bell sounded, lights were dimmed: Close the registers, girls! 'ASix, up : accompanied by calls to hurry up and get the counter filled! resounded throughout the Store, while a few straggling customers were rounded up. A line formed at the end of the fountain where each weary but smiling girl eagerly received a small manila envelope containing a week's accumulation of quarters and halves. TO A SEAMAN ROBERT JoHNsoN You know the mighty wash of ocean wave, The awesome sight of tempest on the sea. The meaning of a wet and uapid grave. And what it is to find a sheltered lee. You realize the strength of wind and storm. The power behind a wall of towering brine. And yet you haue no fear of hurt nor harm, As you haue learned your place and part in time. You touch upon the shores of distant lands, Endure the bitter chill of arctic blastg You sail from ice and snow to desert sands, And work in heat and cold before the mast, Until the day will come when all the hands May go before their Maker at long last.

Ninety-six CGLJUC 011.5 THE LAST WORD PAT ANDERSON Pat has been a member of the CADUCEUS for but one term. but in that short time has proved herself invaluable as our type-chief. Popular Pat has been a member of various clubs. including the Duck Club, History-Travel Club, La Voz de Espana and the Physiography Club. Her likes include bow ties, spaghetti, Spanish. the color green, the song Temptation , swimming, and tennis. She definitely dislikes mathematics, house-work lstrictly a career womanl and--oh, yes, people who are late. The man for her must be six feet tall. with red hair and blue eyes, and if possible a Naval officer. Pat's ambition is to become a psychologist. DAVID OLIENSIS For this last term David Oliensis has been Literary Editor on the CADU- CEUS. Before this, however, he had been contributing stories. During his four-year stay at Beaumont, David has belonged to the Shakespeare Club and Witenagemot, and also the Camera Club. Among his likes he numbers dogs, sports, and chocolate ice-cream sodas! His only dislikes are love stories, people who walk upstairs slowly when he is in a hurry, and work. As for his plans after graduation, David says he would like to be a journalist or a soldier. MARIAN BURCHARD lVlarian's favorite song Don't Ciet Around Much Anymore definitely doesn't apply to Marian. She has been a member of the financial staff of the CADUCEUS for seven terms, a member of the Shakespeare Club, Bellus Mons, Treasurer of the Girls' lce-Skating Club, A'Digest -CADUCEUS Correspond- ent of the Mixed Chorus. and she played Patti Zuvel in Shreds and Patches . Her main likes are tuna fish, ham, ice-skating, tennis, long black hair on girls, and math. She dislikes long coats on boys, beards, and gooey makeup. Her ambition is to work in occupational therapy. HELEN GRAEFE Helen has served for the last three years as a secretary to the Financial Sponsor. During her four years at Beaumont she has been quite active. She is the CADUCEUS Correspondent for her class and has been active in the Shakespeare Club and the Bellus Mons. Helen numbers among her likes a great many things: chocolate marshmallow sundaes, cute little hats, the color red, Begin the Beguinef' people, and. of all things, homework! She says the only thing she can think of that she doesn't like is aptitude tests. She plans to take occupational therapy at Washington University after she graduates. An interesting thing to note is that Helen is the eighth member of her family to graduate from Beaumont-perhaps a record. lContinued on page llll Ninety seten C cl V Jffjb ii svwpfb if T . a uceua jf!

On first entering Room 216, you may think the office is in quite a turmoil, but on closer inspection you observe fourteen energetic students deeply engrossed in the business of preparing our Blue and Gold periodical. You seem to sense that typical journalistic haze of unprinted news which lingers about the room. You might even muss your hair or stick a pencil behind your ear to become one of the gang as you proceed to investigate the activities of the student Writers. From the midst of stacks of papers and names emerges Jean Jaech. She has done an excellent job this term of keeping track of Beaumont's service men and their deeds of valor. That character to your left in the black dress and homely face is the Snooper. The Madame has received valuable assistance from Arline Perlmutter, Gerry Heyne, Marie Prange, and Bill Niehaus in preparing her column. The Old Judge, alias Betty Ann Knickemeyer, is holding court at present in the back of the room. Marie Prange is busy over there writing up Things I Saw 3 and she seems to see plenty these days. That particularly noisy bunch to your right are the sports writers. The sports editor, Bill Niehaus, is copying the box score of that recent baseball game while Milton Reinert is getting the results of the latest track meet. Gerry Rosenkoetter is busy with Sport-Spatter and is also writing baseball news. liContinued on page 1301 Ninety-eight CCIJLLC 211,45 STUDENT COUNCIL MARIE PRANGE The Student Council is Beaumont's House of Representatives. At its meetings matters of school routine and welfare are discussed and plans are made to be submitted to Mr. Huntington and the advisory groups for approval. The council will Welcome suggestions coming from any group through its group representative. The principles of democracy are at work in our school. and the most active participation of the student body will bring best results. Three projects are now under way: the lunchroom clean up , the locker lock up , and the war stamp album fill up . Be a real Beaumont Booster for all three.

Yes, that's right, we are to hear an interesting lecture on a foreign country today. See you then. Yes, all this excitement concerns the History-Travel Club. This is one of the largest and most interesting clubs in Beaumont. lt has a membership of about 150. The dues are flfty cents, and the only qualifications needed for new members are enthusiasm and an interest in the club. The club has many purposes. but the two main ones can be discovered from its name: l. To become interested and informed in history, past and present. This includes both the United States and foreign countries. 2. To take trips to places of interest in connection with our study of history, like museums, monuments. and others. The club hears lectures given by well-known people. We also study current events. The most recent activity is the forming of a French class. Mr. Kana- zireff is the teacher.

MIXED CHORUS MARION BURCHARD One of the well-known rooms in Beaumont is Room 302. Activity here begins each day as soon as the tardy bell rings at 9:00 a. m. It is at this time that students of various terms and of varying interests, gather in Room 302 for forty-five minutes of enjoyment. The librarian may be seen distributing music: the pianist plays a few bars: the Mixed Chorus begins to sing. This chorus, composed of eighty-nine members, and otherwise known as the A Cap- pella Choir, is a very active group. We provide music not only for auditorium sessions and other school activities, but also music for various outside gatherings. Because of this we keep in mind several types of music. Some of our best a cappella numbers are based on religious words, Just at present there is a great demand for patriotic selections of a serious nature. We are, of course. always glad to sing romantic songs. We enjoy unaccompanied singing, but we also like to work with the piano and we often enjoy singing with the orchestra. This term, as in preceding terms, we have again chosen our oiiicers by popular vote. Those to whom our ballots fell are as follows: President Andrew Andrews Vice-President Jack Hauck S .3 lMarilyn Schmitz CCI'9f3I'lk.S Itjarnes White Treasurer Russell N, Meyer lContinued on page l3lJ One Hundred Two 6a,6!bLCObL6 .

The band has played for many auditorium sessions and other public appearances. Much work is behind the good showing the band has made this term. Band members look forward to the regular picnic which everyone enjoys. It is a great honor to belong to this organization. There is a place in the Senior Band for every student with musical talent. In the band you learn many helpful things, mainly co-operation and how to follow a director. Beau- mont has a band to be proud of.

It has been organized since Beaumont began, and is now bigger and better than ever. It is composed of upper-term girls who like to sing. The club sings for aud sessions, graduation, music festivals. church groups, and other outside engagements. If you are an upper-term girl and you like to sing, join the Senior Girls' Cilee Club! The girls will be glad to see you. We meet in the auditorium the second hour every day. Do come in and be one of us.

The seventh hour and the auditorium are the time and place of daily rehearsal. Variety in types of music studied. interesting comments on the backgrounds of compositions and their creators, and the fun which is a part of each day's work make the seventh hour a period looked forward to during of day of exacting math and other academic subjects. At present we are working on The Gondoliersf' a medley from the Gilbert and Sullivan ope- retta, several marches, and selections from Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherezade . Occasionally our democratic sponsor. Miss Brix, lends her baton to members of the orchestra, always an interesting and often an amusing event. In this manner many capable student conductors have been found. This term Hfty- one members constitute the orchestra, all but three on the job every day. Don't get the idea that the orchestra is all fun, decidedly not: there is plenty of work. but none of it boring.

Though the many and varied activities of the club are mainly along the scientific line, we have several social get-togethers during the term. For instance, there is the annual picnic of the whole Junior Academy of Science of Missouri, to say nothing of the outings planned by our Burbank Chapter alone. The meetings sponsored each month by the Junior Academy of Science, presided over by our own Jean Jaech, have been very interesting this term. Une month we went to Southwest High School to hear some instructive lectures on plant and animal nutrition. Another time the Academy met at Blewett to hear the results of some experiments showing the effect of vitamins on white rats. A most interesting meeting was held at Central l-ligh, where there was a lecture on Twins and Twinning. Our own chapter meetings have been high-lighted by various informal talks given by the members, which dealt with subjects from Radio Tubes to 'iPenicillin . Most of the members are working on projects for the Annual Exhibit to be held at Washington University. This exhibit is looked forward to each spring and is the fitting climax to a year of scientinc research and study, President XVilliam Furry Vice-President Philip Parshall Secretary Eloise Enzinger lContinued on page l3Ol One Hunjred Seven Cacluceuri 5 fl il K . . . gf .3 st C 7 . -' 5 . 1 as ' .- N .' f N r 'Q ' F -3 ' ' Q' a at -Q M , f N f si . .3 -4.5: hi .

You can see for yourself the Camera Club is an interesting club of which to become a member. We have meetings on Wednesday of the odd Weeks of the term. At this time, we learn how to enlarge pictures and how to retouch and tone them. We learn to judge our own pictures by discussing the good and bad features and by suggesting Ways of improvement. In this way we improve our tech- nique. Miss Humphrey of the Art Department gave us an interesting and illustrated talk on Composition at one of our meetings.

The Witenagemot, or Debating Club of Beaumont, makes practical use of these privileges every other Tuesday. lt assembles in Room 208 under the sponsorship of Miss Rifkin and there. after the pattern of the ancient A'Witan of the Anglo-Saxon period, they formally discuss current topics of nation-wide importance. Negative and affirmative speakers take such subjects as The Streit Plan for post-war lasting peace and The Soldiers' Vote Bill, and state their views on them, pro and con. After the debaters have delivered their rebuttals and the winner has been elected, the subject is open for club discussion. When the meeting is finally adjourned, we feel assured that the subject has been thoroughly digested. If you would care to make use of your rights as an American citizen, join our debating organization.

Several scenes, directed by interested members of the club, have been presented and were much enjoyed by all. In the past the activities of the club have usually included guest speakers. This term plans have been made to invite Mr. John Rush Powell of Harris Teachers' College and Dr. Frank Sullivan of St. Louis University to give lectures on Shakespeare and his times. In addition to this. the members decided that during the term each would read one play he had not read before, either Richard ll ta historical playl, 'King Lear ta tragedyl, or 'AAS You Like It la comedyl. These plays will be discussed at a later meeting. New members are initiated, usually at the first meeting. The whole club has been vastly entertained by these proceedings. As none of the other clubs of Beaumont have initiations. this is a novel feature of the club. Students of fifth term or above who have a majority of E's and G's should plan to join next term. Interesting meetings are held on alternate Tuesdays in 308.

The purpose of our club is to keep alive the Latin language and its traditions. This semester our programs have been both entertaining and educational. The annual outing, a play A'The Furies and the Fuehrern, and a whimsical recitation of George Washington and the Cherry Tree given in Latin by Miss Buckley are only a few examples of our fun program. A trip to Washington University and lectures and exhibits by members of the club served to round out our program in its educational phase. We are proud of the program committee that has arranged all these events. Bellus Mons is especially proud of its president, Marvin Fisher. Marvin is the first member of Bellus Mons to obtain the order of Consul. This order is conferred upon those who have given the club continuous and exceptional service.

We believe that our club brings us not only pleasure, but an opportunity to further our knowledge of stamp collecting. We meet every Thursday just after school in Room 217. During our meetings articles are read and talks given. Besides this, Mr. Hall often prepares a contest for us and furnishes stamps for prizes. After our business meeting we trade. buy, and sell stampsi So you can see what a nice time we have! There are undoubtedly more Beaumont students who are interested in stamps.

Under the able sponsorship of Miss Kirkwood eight basketball teams were formed. Three of these were made up of sixth termers while the second, fourth. fifth, seventh, and eighth termers each had one team. The practices were held every Wednesday until the players had thoroughly learned the game. On March 15th the fun and excitement startedf The girls began their round-robin tournament which will be concluded early in June. The team who then has the most points ltwo for a win, one for a tier will be acclaimed the A'Girls' Championship Basketball Team of Beaumont. The dues are twenty-five cents and part of this money will be used to buy small gold B pins for the champions. Girls can play basketball and here at Beaumont they are all sure shooters.

Do you appreciate the loud speakers in the Auditorium? Don't the lighting effects make everything appear more colorful? These and many other technical devices are manipulated and cared for by the Technicians, a group selected from the student body of Beaumont. There are three large cabinets of light switches and the Technicians must know the use of each switch. The public address system and the movie pro- jector are complicated pieces of equipment and must be handled with great care. The opaque and slide projectors also require much time and attention each time they are used. The Technicians donate their free periods during the day and much time after school. We are proud to be Technicians because we know the things we do make school more enjoyable for the rest of the pupils. All the Technicians are divided into the following committees: President and Chairman of Public Address J. Podwojski President and Chairman of Projector R. Sprenger President and Chairman of Lights R. Herhold R. McNamara L. Westlake E. Ellersieck H. Sattler J. Cwrassmann R. Craft K. Oberbeck R. Turner R. Sullivan M. Becker T. Johnson G. Klimt M. Roth P.

The course in physiography includes both subjects, but we have studied them more intensively than would be possible in the classroom. In this connection we learned to read the weather maps sent out daily from Washington: we tried to interpret aerial photographs: we made a trip to the Weather Bureau, where the use of weather instruments was explained: we plotted simple maps in the field. We have kept our former interest in the rock structure of this locality. Trips were made to quarries and railroad cuts following talks on the geological history of eastern Missouri. We reviewed the branches of the animal kingdom at the Educational Museum and saw their fossil representatives at Washington University. We also visited St. Louis U. and learned how earthquake waves from any part of the world are recorded. If you are interested in our club, join us next term. Enthusiasm and the willingness to work are the chief requisites for membership.

Not anymore! Within the last few years roller skating has graduated from the infant class and is now considered an important part of adult recreation. This club in Beaumont is organized solely for the attain- ing of abilities and for enjoyment. Who knows! Perhaps some day you may be proficient enough to be part of a traveling troupe of professional skaters. If not that, then at least you can be the envy of your friends because you can make those four little Wheels do what you want them to do. Right now we invite you to join us at the Crystal Roller Rink on Tuesday afternoons just to develop poise, charm, gracefulness, and-friendship. Our membership is open at the beginning of each term to all girls. One Hundred Twenty-six Cacluceufi BOYS' SKATINC-.

Skating is done at the Crystal on Tuesdays. the Winter Garden on Fridays for roller and ice skating, respectively, at reduced rates. There is no limit to the extent to which a skater may become skillful in this art. Letters are awarded each term to the ice and roller skaters who show the required skill.

The two rookies of the staff, Chester Bleikamp and Betty Allshouse, are active members of this group. Shirley Tyer is the girl seated in the middle of the room working on that latest Maud session. She also has charge of all information on non-military alumni. Charles Werner has just left the room to see about bond and stamp sales for the current week. That tyrannical figure in the front of the room is the Editor-in-Chief, Bob Mosher. He and his top-notch assistant Editors, Arline Perlmutter and Gerry Heyne, set the editorial policy of the paper and see that everything runs along at the proper speed. As you step into Room 21-f, the business office. you encounter the financial wizards of the staff. Business Manager Billy Stuart and his two able assist- ants, Alfred Busso and Jules Klose, carried through the campaign which set a new record for Digest sales. with 2393 subscriptions for this term. If there is one thing that is essential to a modern newspaper office it is a typewriter and an expert to use it. The Digest has nine such experts to do their typing work. Shirley Beeler, Mary Bozoian, Florida Brewster, Florine Capstick, Rose Chmielecki, Lois May Digman, Shirley Ewers, June McClain, and Carol Wiebock are the nine who make up our invaluable typing staff. Most of our periodicals lively pictures are the work of our staff photogra- pher, Jack Mannebach, while those clever cartoons come from the brain and pen of Tom Mongno. And now, dear reader, we shall acquaint you with the most important member of our organization. He is the guiding hand behind the entire pro- ceedings, Mr. William E. Birr. Without his help a Digest would never be possible. The entire staff gives their grateful and everlasting thanks to Mr. Birr for his time and assistance.

In addition, he has served on the Student Council, and has capitalized on his broad and husky physique by winning a football letter. as a member of the '43 team. Harry numbers among his likes sports and food- His favorite hates are loud girls and people who Zoop their soup. Upon graduation, Harry intends to enter the Navy: but his burning ambition is to get a ride to South America and live and loaf there. Altogether, Boz has enjoyed Beaumont during his three years, but he regrets that he has not participated more in school sports.

This loss has been felt deeply by their colleagues, as well as by the student body. These teachers have shown an unmeasured devotion toward furthering education and have earned the privilege of retirement. Their splendid careers, marked by modesty, sincerity, uniform kindness. devotion to duty, and loyal service, will be an inspiration and challenge to youth. The influence they have exerted upon the students throughout their years of teaching will live far beyond the termination of their careers. EDGAR B. WELLS Mr. Wells had been teaching mathematics and science at Beaumont since a year or two after its opening. He has also found time. aside from his duties, to sponsor the Airplane Club, spending many extra hours in guiding and training the boys. He regards both the teachers and students of Beaumont as the most congenial he has ever met, of all the various schools in which he has taught. All who have studied under this kindly and helpful personality will long remember him with gratitude. MARY EVANS After serving on the faculty of Yeatman High School. Miss Evans became a teacher of domestic science at Beaumont's opening in 1926. She had already had wide experience in other schools and training in Columbia University. Many students remember her for her help and interest in their problems. CHARLES S- WEBB Mr. Webb, who left the faculty in May, had been a teacher of physics in Beaumont for fourteen years. However, he is best known to the students for his work with the Technicians. The school owes a great debt to Mr. Webb and his boys for the many services they have rendered, especially in making possible all the interesting moving pictures we have enjoyed in 204. KATHERINE HAUSPERGER Miss Hausperger, a former Yeatman faculty member, came to Beaumont in 1926. The subjects she taught were shorthand and rypewriting and she was sponsor of the Stenography and Typewriting Clubs. Miss Hausperger states that she will always remember the pleasant times she had with the faculty and students during her years at Beaumont.

We, the class of June. 1944, have selected this not only as a motto but as a blueprint for the future. After four years of preparation and training at Beaumont High School, We find ourselves equipped With many of the necessary and useful tools for the massive structure of Tomorrow . The success or failure of this structure depends upon our Work- manship and the materials we select. Our capable teachers have supplied us With knowledge. our foremost tool: while our social activities and high school acquaintances have developed in us the tools of understanding. With this equipment we have built the foundation for the structure of Tomorrow . As we graduate into this turbulent World we are all destined to be builders in some sense of the word. Many of our members will serve in the armed forces: some will enter industry: still others will be enrolled in colleges. What- ever our future positions may be, we will all be workers united in building a Tomorrow of enduring peace and happiness. We wish to thank Miss Cunningham and Miss Quellmalz for their compe- tent assistance as our sponsors. A note of thanks is also due our officers who are: President Russell N.

As we entered our senior year. the attainment of this goal which has been foremost in our minds since those first days as jittery freshmen, inspired in us a genuine feeling of pride, separately and collectively. ln the last three years we have sacrificed and worked as individuals towards our own advancement. Now, as a unified class, one of the smallest in Beau- mont's history, we can, through concerted effort, surpass the requirements of duty and set a precedent for those who follow in our footsteps. To the class which precedes us we extend our congratulations and best wishes for a bright future. Traversing the well-worn path, they are con- fronted with the crushing problems of the present-day world, but at the same time, they are concerned with the civilization which will survive and grow from the rubble and wreckage of the war. Our task is equally diflicult. After much deliberation we have chosen as officers: President Billy Stuart Vice-President Norma Wengert Secretary Carlyla Schulz Treasurer Eugene Mobley Digest Correspondent Jean Jaech CADUCEUS Correspondent Bruce Wright fEdna Smith Student Council lEdward Lansche lDolores Wood fGeraldine Heyne Executive Committee Bob McNamara llVlilton Reinert Sxxly-thret LG4Si':7W Y 5' CGJLLCQU6 Allreet Beat!!

'i ,f Sixly-seven Cacluceud THROUGH THICK AND THIN TOM ANDERSON This year all athletic teams. professional and non-professional alike, are at their lowest ebb. There are several reasons for this: equipment is harder to obtain, much talent is in the armed forces, and the constant shifting of personnel caused by the draft does not give the men time to acquire experience, Many people think that high schools do not have these problems: they use little equipment and most of the boys are too young for service, How wrong they aref The problems are present, only to a lesser degree than on profes- sional teams. Take the drafting of high school athletes. No, not many go into the armed forces before graduation, but many of the older boys, the cream of the crop so far as sports are concerned, rush their programs so that they can graduate early. By so doing they will have complete high school educations behind them when they return. But they are lost so far as athletics are con- cerned. ln addition to these, many other boys have left school to take up war jobs. thus further reducing the number of candidates. All teams face this problem of manpower shortage. Beaumont, in addition, is being handicapped by loss of coaches. For instance, compare the coaching staff of a few years ago with the present one. We still have Mr. Stanton to keep the basketball team in trim and Mr. Franklin to win football champion- ships. One the other side of the ledger, our former baseball mentor is now Lieutenant Victor Kirk of the United States Army. He was capably replaced by Mr. Elliott, who may also be wearing the khaki soon. lncidentally, we should then need a new swimming coach-Elliot is that, too. All this is nothing compared to the track problem. Biology students and trackmen alike were sorry to see the coach twho now, by the way, signs himself O. H. Duggins, U. S. Department of Justicel leave old Beaumont. He had just achieved a phenomenon by winning track championships-both city and state-a phenomenon when you consider Roosevelt had held the city title for more than a decade. Last year, under the able guidance of his successor, Mr. Ehlert, now also in service, the team did a repeat on the city title and took second in the state. Under the leadership of Mr. Gallais, the present coach, the team recaptured the state title. That is somewhat of a record-under three different coaches, in three successive years, winning two state championships. Despite all these handicaps, Beaumont will this year put a full array of teams on the field. We of Beaumont should be proud of the fact that through thick and thin, on good field or bad, whether the overwhelming favorite or the lowliest underdog, Beaumont's teams are in there lighting. Sixty-eight CCILJILCQUZS BASKETBALL GERALD RosEN1ioETTER With no returning regulars from the 1942-43 team, not much was expected from this year's cage team. After winning the State Championship two suc- cessive years with basically the same team, we lost the entire Hrst string and many good substitutes by graduation last year. Coach Stanton has had the almost impossible job of rebuilding the entire team. Bob Shaffer, Harold Torbeck, Russell Steger, and Aldo Martinago were returning lettermen but Steger and Martinago-both good, steady guards- were lost in midyear graduation. A leg injury received in football kept Aldo from playing the early part of the season, including the Normandy Tournament. The Blue Jackets opened the season victoriously with wins over Blewett. McBride, McKinley, and Ritenour. These victories coupled with the winning streak at the end of last year gave the team a twenty-four game winning streak. In the quarternnals of the Normandy Tournament we were defeated by Kirkwood, which later tied for first place in the county league. In the city league, Coach Stanton's charges equaled last year's champs' record of seven victories and one defeat. The one defeat in league play each year was administered by Cleveland. ln Coach Stanton's five years at Beau- mont the quintet in its various editions has come in first twice, and second the other three times. lContinued on page 73l - Sfxlu-nlnt 661611160115 if T f 7' 'xi 'X .,., X -mu TRACK TEAM MILTON REINERT Beaumonts Blue Jacket track team, having begun competition with a new coach, Mr. Ciallais. and only nine returning senior lettermen, are sweeping into the home stretch of one of their most illustrious seasons in years. Highlight of the 1944 season has been the thrilling State High School Meet which was held May 6 at Columbia, Missouri. In it the squad displayed its never-give-up spirit, for they came from far behind to pass up the strongly favored University City team and win the Class A State Championship by the uncomfortably close margin of one point. Major credit for this great victory should be given to the four boys who comprise the senior relay team- Kelleher, Fechter, Mengersen, and Klein. The two relay victories, combined with the points won by the individual boys who comprise the relay team, were the factors which brought in the 26 points needed to top University City's 25. Jack Fechter took third place in the 200-yard dash while Bob Mengersen tied for first in the broad jump with a line jump of 21 feet 223 inches. Elmer Klein took first in the high jump at 5 feet 10 inches, second in the -140-yard dash, and third in the broad jump to help his team-mates on to victory. In the District Meet held on May 12 Beaumont was not quite so successful. Bucking up against a strong University City squad eager for revenge. they were forced to accept second place. Beaumont accumulated 2616 points to U. City's 44 in the senior division. tContinued on page 737 St?L'Pf7ly X CGLJMCQUJ BASEBALL TEAM BoB MOSHER The 1944 baseball squad started out with only four returning lettermen and a new coach. The new coach took the returning men, added to them, and came up with one of the top-ranking nines in the St. Louis District. Led by the southpaw ace, Jim Goodwin. the pitching staff has chalked up thirteen victories against only three losses up to May 15. The season opened with a game with Park's Air College, which we won 16-Z. Central was downed 5-O in a non-league affair- Then Goodwin threw a no-hitter at Normandy while his team-mates backed him up with ten runs. After winning three more practice games, we opened the league season against Soldan. It was a 15-O victory, as Goodwin limited them to one hit. Then came in order victories over Roosevelt, 5-0: Cleveland, 4-O: and Southwest. 3-2. On May 15, we met a tough Central outfit and were nosed out by a 3-2 count. This was our first league defeat. but it gives us a league leading record of four wins and one loss. Bob Hofman has been the sparkplug of the team this year. His ability to hit with men on base as well as his classy fielding around the keystone sack has made him one of the fore-fielders in the league. Bill Sutter has proved himself to be a steady receiver and so gained the assignment of catching Cioodwin. Frank Cento at first. Bob Louis or Roy Sievers at short, and freshman Earl Weaner at third usually complete the infield. Bob Shaffer, Dave Welker, Jack Wickman, and Robert Louis alternate in patrolling the outer gardens. fContinued on page 7-H Selfenly on 'WW E '-'Y'5 3f ,Jy . -1-' 4 '. . n 4 . v 3 , W .

We were handicapped by the graduation of Jack Vogt, one of the best swimmers Beaumont ever produced. The team realized its ambition by placing third in the city meet and fourth in the state. Since our school swimming pool was closed before and during the swimming season, most of our swimmers practiced at the Downtown Y, M. C. A. With five of the lettermen returning, some promising young swimmers coming up. and with the hope that more boys will try out next year, the team has bright prospects for the future.

BASKETBALL lkContinued from page 691 The fighting spirit of this year's team was exemplified by the Soldan game. Soldan had overrun all of its league opponents by huge scores and was, by large odds, the favorite over the comparatively small. inexperienced Beaumont squad. But at the closing whistle the Beaumont boys had out- played the fast-breaking Soldan five in every department and had hammered out a 47-23 victory. The Beaumont Bluejackets were then upset by Wellston in the sub-regionals of the State Tournament, and a new state champion was assured. Although this year's team had great and dillicult footsteps to follow, they carried on nobly the Beaumont winning tradition. This year's team had no outstanding individual star but was a smooth- working machine made up of minor units. Bob Waites, center, was chosen on the second string all-city team and both of our co-captains, Harold Tor- beck and Bob Shaffer, forwards, were given honorable mention: but on the whole the scoring was evenly distributed and all members were excellent on defense. This year's record of 15 won, 4 lost. was the third best season enjoyed under the five years of Coach Stanton's guidance. His charges have won ninety out of a hundred and six games for an overall winning percentage of eighty-five per cent.

For the archives told of a comet which flashed repeatedly through the heavens. Every 127 years it had come, and each time it had passed closer to the Earth. And the scientist read of this, and he investigated it, and at length he calculated, by dint of long and arduous computations, that the next time the comet came, which was in twenty-eight years. it would crash full into the Earth. and there would be a mighty tragedy, even the End of the World. And the scientist told of this, and he shouted of it abroad, to warn the people of the awful future, and they might judge of it, and act accordingly. But the people harkened not to his voice, neither did they heed his warnings. And they mocked him and scoffed at him as one who sought to gain notoriety by deeds of low cunning, where he might not gain fame by deeds of valor or worth. And the scientist was sorely grieved upon this, and his spirit forsook him and he died. Then it chanced that other men of science investigated the work of the first, and lol his calculations they found sound, and his conclusions truth. And they told of this. And now the people were appalled and stunned beyond all measure. Long were they silent: then they became as if mad. They screamed and raved: they wept without stint. Many there were who took their own lives by a violent hand, even those old or inirm, whom Death must catch long ere the Coming of the Comet. And those who had gathered things all their lives, now threw them away-the learned man his books, the rich man his money, the warrior his trophies. Everything, men sacrificed in an effort to partake once more of pleasure before the End came. But to no avail. The fruits of their excesses turned to clay in their mouths. Yet were they unmindful of their folly, and they continued in the paths of their iniquity. Mobs of vandals roamed throughout the Earth, committing wanton deeds of violence and destruction unknown even in the days of the Great Terror. And the Earth ran red, and the tower of civilization tottered upon the brink of the abyss of chaos. But at this time there arose a great man, known only as The Wise One. And he reasoned with the people, saying, Come, let us stop this wickedness and atrocity. Let us be mindful of our dignity and honor. What will be the feelings of some alien race, that, aeons in the future, explores the heavens and finds the remnants of our world, and from them learns the story of a people that. in their last hour, cast away the wisdom of the ages as a garment that is worn out. and destroyed themselves in acts of impiety and folly? What will be the feelings of that race toward us? Let us not be a foul stain upon the page of the Book of the Universe, even as were the savage Altans a stain upon the page of the Book of Earth. Let us, rather, live the few remaining hours allotted to us nobly and gently, Sevenly-eight CGJMC 6115 that future races may judge of us and say. 'Verily, this was a glorious culturef Come then, let us build a monument to our doomed world-a monument wherein we shall place all that is best and most beautiful of our civilization. And let us send this monument forth into space, where it shall roam till eternity, the proud symbol and everlasting relic of a people deathless in death. And those other races shall see it, and they shall stand in awe before it. And the people heard The Wise One's words, and they rejoiced exceedingly. For now they had a mission to fulfill, and a reason for living. And they entered heartily into the building of the monument, and all those who were skilled lent a hand, and all the desperate energy of a race that is doomed. and all the knowledge gained from ten thousand years of progress went into the making of it. lt was a tremendous hollow sphere, big as a mountain. and made of a metal that wears not. nor is rusted, but firm as the Wall that withheld the Black Floods of old: tough as the ancient Altan warriors: hardy as the Eternal Rock that guards the Northern Way. Fifteen miles in width the monument measured, and the thickness of its walls was two miles. And in it the people stored all that was grand and noble of their world-works of art, and litera- ture and music-and the creations of the scientists through the ages. And they stored also samples of the fruits of the trees, and the grains of the meadows, and the clothes that they wore. Even small villages they built in the sphere. and peopled them with figures. and they fashioned fields and forests. and in them placed images of beasts. And it came to pass that another man arose, and he said, Behold this mockeryf We raise up a monument to our race, and in it we put food and clothing, and lay out fields. and erect dwellings. Yea. dwellings do we raise. and people them with lifeless images. Shall we not rather people them with living men. to wear these clothes and eat of these foods, and till the fields, and raise the animals? Eor surely a people is a better memorial to itself than a great, dead museum can be. Let us then choose by lot two thousand of the Hnest young men and women on earth, to live in the sphere and carry on our race forevermoref' And it was done even as he said, and from the finest young men and women on Earth, two thousand were chosen by lot, and they lived in the sphere and helped with the completion of it. And the scientists of Earth were marvelous in those days, and they found ways to make air and water, and light and heat. And these ways they taught to the two thousand. And now the approaching comet was plainly visible to all, and day by day it loomed greater and approached nearer. And during all these happenings. a new generation was reared and brought up, and they knew not hope, nor thought of life save as a passing dream that must end with the Coming of the Comet. Pensive they were, and quiet and gentle. But there was in their lives neither aim nor purpose. but only a sad yearning to make the sphere a thing of beauty and perfection. And they sought to do all they might for the comfort of those chosen to live on in it, but they did not envy them, for life past the Day of Doom they could not comprehend. And at length all was completed, and mighty rockets were built beneath the sphere, and all was in readiness for the living monument to be sent forth SL'l,'EI7ll.l-V71-l7t' Caaluceud into space. But yet did the chosen two thousand linger, for there was still a year ere the hour of doom, and they loved the rich, green Earth that was their home. and that nevermore should they behold again. And they would not leave it ere they must. And the comet came on and on, inexorable as time. By day it eclipsed the sun in brilliance, and by night it slashed a flaming swathe through the velvet blackness of the heavens, and turned the darkness to light. Nlighty tremors now shook the Earth, and whole cities were swallowed by hungry caverns torn in the ground. And it was decided that the sphere must leave ere it was destroyed. So the chosen 2,000 entered it. and the door was sealed, and the rockets were set off. And the sphere sprang up into the sky, spurning the crumbling Earth. And it dwindled and became a speck, and vanished forever into the fathomless sea of the heavens. Soon the bulk of the comet blotted out the sky, and there were great floods, and the land was tossed and dashed about like the waves of the ocean. And from the bowels of the Earth came a thunderous rumbling, as of an angry giant aroused from the sleep of ages. And men died by millions. Only the strong survived. At length, but a small group remained, and they huddled together upon the topmost mountain, to escape the floods, and sought protection from the storms that racked heaven and Earth. Young they were, and strong. They. who should have been Hlled with dreams and plans for the future, stood with faces uplifted, watching the coming doom that was inevitable. And on those faces was graven all the tragedy and hopelessness of a dying World. But doom came DOI from above, but from below. There came a sound too loud for mortal ears to hear, and the watchers were struck deaf. But they looked, and saw the Earth split to its core, and men beheld for the first and last time the hell-Gres, blazing in the depths of a titanic chasm. Pk :EI if And here the record ends. We of Saturn found this record and many other interesting things upon one of the myriad tiny planetoids whose orbits lie between those of Mars and Venus, where once was Earth. Cf the memorial sphere we have found no trace. Perhaps it has been destroyed by a chance meteor. Perhaps it drifts yet through space, peopled by a weird race that knows not the light of day, nor the warmth of any sun. Or perhaps it has long been tenantless, and grim and silent: void of all save dim memories of childish play and laughter, and youth and maiden wooing 'neath the poplar trees that lined the broad avenues. and wise, gentle people growing old within the protection of the mighty walls-and a nameless Tragedy that came and walked abroad and ended all. But the sphere roams on with its ghosts, endlessly on. through the infinite gulfs of the Hrmament: on, past the solar system, past the uttermost stars, past space itself. into--who can say?

' ,H A .. . and because of my unfortunate dog did not possess any social graces, such C as sitting up or playing dcad, I decided to teach her. Scottie, the object of this training, is a black cocker spaniel who has naturally curly hair, long ears, and a passion for lying in the middle of IVIother's bed. On the day that this story began, Scottie was busy chewing the fringe off the rug, ignorant of the experience that lay before her. When I called. she ran merrily toward me. Applying her brakes and skidding to a stop, she looked eagerly into my face ready to play. Little did she know. In order to teach your dog this trick, you need only patience and an hour of your time. Push your dog gently into a prone position, repeating the words 'play dead.' Any dog with average intelligence should learn this trick. So much for page one of the book. Pushing Scottie into a prone posi- tion, I said the magic words, but Scottie would not co-operate. She immedi- ately got to her feet and ran under the bed. I fished her out and tried again, with the same results. After one hour of this strenuous labor, the dog and I were both exhausted. We retired to the kitchen for some refreshment. Finding myself too weak to continue, I called it a day. Bright and early the next morning I started again. Again I had no results. The following day was the same. After a week of this hard labor I gave up any idea of making my dog into an accomplished canine. I tossed the book into the waste-can and that was that. Not that Scottie isn't intelligent, you understand, but she is individual. After all, any old dog can sit up and play dead, but not every dog can neatly chew fringe off a rug as Scottie does. Eighty-two C2 GJMCQMJ I LOVE Tl-IAT LETTER WILLIANI Moitizissm' ,N PORTS are both popular and important to high school boys after Boys find a source of recreation after the grind of morning and afternoon classes. They dash wildly into the locker rooms at the end of the seventh period. Studies are temporarily forgotten: the sportsmen are all out for a good time. VT school hours. There is a great deal of enjoyment in the participation of athletic activities, Fun is dealt out to one and all and foolery presides in the locker room. The art of towel snapping, for instance. is a favorite sport for the practical jokers. In the shower from time to time boys leap from underneath unexpected cold water. whooping like Indians. The last persons out of the shower often have to hunt their clothes from numerous lockers. Usually someone explains how he won the game and proceeds to point out the faults of others. Time is not wasted by boys who are out for track. basketball, football. baseball, or swimming. Most of them would spend the extra time playing on teams which are not under the supervision of able instructors. Sports furnish necessary exercise. Even boys who are not interested in gym are interested in sports, although more work is involved. Those who are really trying to make the team learn that they must cooperate. They listen intently to the instructions of the coach and the prior lettermen. The boys who make the grade come out for practice every day and give it their all, for teamwork is essential in winning games. Skill and self-conhdence are developed as the game's fundamentals are learned. In practice one becomes tired and sweaty, but he knows the rest of the fellows are tired too. Sometimes it seems that even if one tries his best to make a good impression on the coach, he makes a botch of things. Sports are hard on their participants, but boys are eager to be in them nevertheless. Why do boys go out for sports? I asked this of a letterman of last year's championship football team. He replied, Sports are plenty tough and they take quite a bit of my time: but I love that letter! A member of this year's basketball team. on being asked his reason for participation in sports. stated. The girls go for lettermenf' Most boys, however, cannot give a logical answer if asked their reason for participating in sports. They usually answer, I don't know. Perhaps the competitive spirit is the reason. Many say that sports such as basketball and football teach them the power of rapid thought and action. for quick thinking and acting are necessary in breaking up plays. There must be something in the sports that draw boys to them like magnets. There is a certain pride in being a letterman. Lettermen parading through the lunchroom carrying athletic equipment to and from the supply room feel the admiration of the lower termers. There is always the possibility of scholarships to those who excel in football. Often trips are taken by the various teams. People must be outstanding in something: if not in scholarship, why not in sports? Eighty- three 60611168116 ON SOCKS V7 persons or things whose conduct IS meritorious. lt is in this category 'g g of unsung heroes that socks lie for they have not received a tithe of 'L' i the credit they deserve. Socks have been mans inseparable companion for countless generations until now they are taken as a matter of course. They not only perform their primary duty of protecting and comforting the feet, but also serve as dust-rags, stocking-caps, and material for throw rugs. Many old-timers wouldnt think of sending Junior to bed with a cold unless his throat was swathed in old socks. Yes, their services to mankind are limitless! JAMES JEANS NE of mans worst faults is his habit of withholding credit from certain QV 3 Q , Yet like so many good things, socks, also, have their disadvantages, for they may prove to be a source of embarrassment. All of us have known that Htwo cents feeling that comes when we take our shoes off in the presence of others and find that our adventurous toes have gone beyond the extremities of our socks. The women are plagued worse than the men. They have twisted seams, droopy socks and the Nemesis of all femininity, runs . These rank with shiny noses and straight hair as a major calamity. As in the case of individuals there are many different types of socks. The gay, bright socks of teen-agers: the sedate gray stockings of elderly women: or the serviceable white stocking of the nurse. Perhaps the most appreciated of them all is the sheer nylon hose which so enticingly moulded the feminine contours on shapely legs. They were surely one of Dan Cupid's best assistants. In naming the different varieties the hand-knitted sock can not be overlooked. lt is the black sheep of the family. lt has been the victim of countless jokes and consequently has brought shame and disgrace to an otherwise honorable branch of wearing apparel, Not all socks are worn. The wind sock is the accepted method of indicat- ing wind direction. Pilots have learned to appreciate the service of this invalu- able object. The childrens favorite is the Christmas stocking, which brings to mind a wealth of candy and oranges on Yuletide. Not only their many services make socks stand out but also that indefinable living quality they seem to possess. Perhaps it is the way they radiate warmth on a cold day, or the tender, almost passionate way they cling to your instep. Some socks l have actually grown attached to. One pair of sweat socks has served me through sixty consecutive athletic sessions. Now they are saturated with their master's sweat and they seem stiff with pride each time l put them on. Nor is a sock uppity or proud. Unlike the shoe, it can be worn on either foot. Contrast this with the haughty shirt, sweater, or any other wear- ing apparel which must be worn just so. ln case the master is joining a fra- ternity or sorority, as the case may be, socks will even consent to be worn inside out. This spirit of cooperation is one of the sock's best assets. Perhaps you still do not see the importance of socks. lf so, try to picture the world without them. Children would become hysterical if deprived of Christmas stockings: the nagged husband could no longer sneak in at three o'clock in his stocking feet: Fido couldnt chew on Julie's anklets: chorus girls couldnt hide the imperfections of their limbs. Eighty-four CGJLLC 9145 By now your conscience must sting as you recall how, in the past, you neglected and scorned this seemingly insignificant sock. How can you soothe your conscience? In the future respect your socks and adopt as your motto. Love me, love my socks. ON THE SAVING GF SUEZ JACK SUNDER Past EI Guitar and Tripoli they came, The mightiest to roam those desert sands.

He was eight years old just last month, and-as is the case with any other boy of this age-you can expect anything to happen and it usually does! But George is quite diH'erent from other boys in some ways. For instance, at eight, George is both a philosopher and a skeptic. It seems that he was born so, for I can never remember his believing in Santa Claus or other legendary characters. It isn't that he doesn't like fairy stories. for he does: he simply understands perfectly that they are fiction. George compre- hends human nature almost instinctively and uses it in benefiting himself by all sorts of subtle and cunning plots. WILLIAAI BECKER EORGE looks like any other average American boy. He has wide, A' ,' ' I , . , He has three sisters and a brother, and since screaming and pouting are quite ineffective, he has devised other methods. One of them requires that he keep his eyes open at all times so that nothing shall escape his knowledge. Then, when George wants his sister's aid in going to the show and he receives a hasty brush-off, he innocently asks, Who was that I saw you out with last night? Sister suddenly decides the picture is of great educational value. As I said, George is different from other boys. He sees no reason why he should act like everyone else. Once when he was having his teeth examined, the dentist said that he must eat spinach if he wanted to grow up and become a great football hero. George merely said, HI won't eat spinach, just to show that somebody can play football without eatin' spinach. As in the last statement, all of George's views have a regretful finality to them. Screaming children can be handled, but it is not so with these regretfully final children of the world. George always selects his own clothes. When he goes into a store he can, and usually does, pick out the most expensive article with a most unerring instinct. Needless to say, he usually emerges from the store with a triumphant look on his face and the article tucked carefully under his arm. More and more, just lately, he has begun invading his father's or brother's drawers. Last year he got hold of some odd tie with a label stating that it was inspired by some design in a Roman church. Now all of his ties absolutely must be inspired Recently, he learned that his father has his suits made at a tailor's, and I see trouble looming up very soon. George is a veritable bookworm. He reads one book after another. Tom Sawyer, f'Huck Finn, Treasure Island and Indian stories are only a few, and he has imitated them all at one time or anothre. Of course, no boy is content without asking questions, but George is never content with anything. He deems it only natural that he should have a girl, and he now speaks of her as does a man celebrating his fifth wedding anniversary. People teased him at Hrst but, as he put it, I-le doesn't give a darn. In all, George uses bribery or blackmail and usually gets his own way every time. It is hard to guess just what he will do next. I often wonder what others of this youngest generation will be like. Eighty-six lf KGCIUC 8615 THREES A CROWD MARILYN SCHMITZ V1 ITH a jerk of her dark head, Jill tried to bring herself out of a reverie and fix her attention on the work before her. She found herself day- dreaming very often lately, ever since she had met Randy Carson the ' other night: I guess about a week ago now. Being with Randy made the time just seem to fly on beautiful gossamer wings. Someone had intro- duced them at Jane Dawsons party: who it was Jill couldn't remember just now. At Hrst, Jill dicln't think she liked him because anyone who was that handsome couldn't be nice. Randy was tall, with short blond hair and dark blue eyes. She had especially noticed his eyes. which always looked as though they were laughing at you or with you-she couldn't decide. He was wearing the uniform of a Naval Lieutenant, and Jill found out later he was awaiting his call for active service. But Randy was nice: in fact, she thought she had never had so much fun with anyone in her whole life. The next evening he came over, and they just sat and talked. Later she made some sandwiches and they drank Pepsies. For the next three days they went out every evening. On Sunday night, when Randy brought her home, he told her he loved her. Saturday he received his orders and was leaving for active duty NVednesday. He took her in his arms slowly and kissed hera that moment, if Jill hadn't been sure she was in love before, that kiss made her certain she loved him. He said he couldr1't ask her to marry him before he left because it wouldn't be fair to her, but would she wait for him. Jill, standing there in the circle of his arms, told him fervently that she would. She had been so sure of herself, too. until the next night when Chuck Barton came over to see her! Jill hadn't seen Chuck much lately, although he used to spend most of his spare time at her house. He had always been like a big brother to Jill. Chuck was almost the exact opposite to Randy. He wasn't handsome at all: in fact, he was the tiniest bit homely. All in all, he looked like a great big overgrown little boy. Jill was very glad to see Chuck, because she had always talked everything over with him and now she wanted to tell him about Randy. In her excitement to tell about herself, Jill forgot to ask why he had come. She told him the whole story and, at its conclusion, asked if he thought she had done the right thing. As she looked, she noticed his face had a strange expression. and when he answered, his voice sounded rather queer. He said, Honey, all that matters is that you love him, and if you do, I-I give you my blessing. He cleared his throat and went on rapidly. It's kind of a coincidence. but I came over to tell you that I got my call and I'm leaving, too. I wanted you to be the first to know. l guess I'm sort of silly, but I always felt, I mean, well we'ye been so close ever since we were kids, and-- All of a sudden, while Chuck was awkwardly fumbling around, it came to Jill that he loved her too, and oh-oh. she wasn't sure that she didn't love him, too.' Now she was all mixed up. Jill had never thought of Chuck in this way before. Always she had thought of him as someone who. when she needed him, would just be there. but now she wasn't sure of anything: maybe she had loved Chuck unconsciously all along. Her mind was in a turmoil, but this was a problem she had to decide on finally and soon. A Erglvlu-.si-L' n Kacluceuri thought struck her. Maybe if she saw them together, standing side by side she could decide between them! The next night Jill invited them both to come over. About eight-thirty her mother came to her room and told her both Randy and Chuck had arrived. Determinedly Jill descended the stairs. As she neared the bottom, both men turned around. Seeing them both there, in that very instant it was apparent to her which one she loved. Then and there she knew it was now and never could be anyone else butl Continued on page 73 l-Iurriedly I turned the pages to page 73 and there to my horror I found, oh. no, it couldn't be, but there it was, or rather there it wasn'tl You see there was no page 73: 72 and 74, but no 73. A'lVlother. I called frantically. what happened to page 73 of the new Ladies' Home Journal? Oh, I remember what I did with it, dear. There were the best recipes for sardine souffle and Hllet of frankfurter and I just tore the whole page out. I didn't think you'd mind. You don't, do you? 'AOh no. I don't mind: I don't mind at all, but as long as I live, I'm never going to read another love story. Gee. I wonder which one she took. THE TEACHER LoRRA1NE WESTLAKE The gray-haired teacher o'er her desk was bent. On completing her task she seemed intent. Alas! This poor woman from morn till dusk Did naught but teach and mark papers for us. She did not mind the hard work and the strain If her efforts proved not to be in vain. Kind and pleasant and full patient was she lVith numhskull pupils like you and like me. Long and lean with her short hair waved neat She sat up quite straight on her hard wood seat. She did not believe in the word cannot'! And thought he who did ought to be shot. As to laziness. she could not endure One inclined to be idle. To be sure. She seemed almost always working to be. Not once have I seen her wasting time. shel Her sweet charming smile was full often seen. She was clad in an outfit of the darkest green. Smartly tailored and well made were her clothes. She was well groomed from her head to her toes. But enough of this prattle. l'll now cease Wri't1'ng poetry and leave you at peace. Besides. I'm not like that teacher one hit. On a nice soft cushion I'd much rather sit. On the telephone some friend of mine call: You see I am not studious at all. Eighty-eight Cacluceud UNFINISHED BUSINESS . and looked down the row of houses to find Gail's. Yes, there was the porch light on. Don straightened his tie and surveyed himself in f W the rear-vision mirror. Boy, he really looked reet, even if he did say so himself. His hair was slicked down with exactly the right amount of goose grease. His yellow corduroy suit had been cleaned especially for the occasion. The knot in his navy blue tie had just the desired air of nonchalance. His red shoes were shined till you could see your face in them. Tonight it was very important that he look his best. No, this was not his first date with Gail, but it was the date. Tonight, if the setting and the occasion were just right, he was going to ask Gail to wear his B pin! This was the first time he had even thought of asking any girl to wear his pin. He had always had the idea that it was better to be one of the boys. but then Gail came along. She was just the cutest thing. Don reflected. Her red hair always shone and curled around her head like a bright halo. Those brown eyes of hers could look at you as though you were the only. absolutely the only, person in the whole world! Don sighed. Well, it was now or never. He grabbed his topcoat and hopped out of the car. As he walked up Gail's front steps he was wondering when he should pop the question. He would like to ask her before they got to the party at Janie's. Then all the kids would see that she was his property. But still, maybe it would be better if he should wait until after the dance and ask her on the way home. Don sighed again as he pressed the bell. This thing was going to be much more difficult than he had ever imagined. 'iHello there, Don, come right in. Mr. Danis opened the door wide. You'll have to wait a few minutes. Gail's not quite ready. You know how these women are! he added laughingly. Don did not know much at all about how women were and at this moment he didn't care. He would feel his palms becoming moist, and he was wondering if maybe he hadn't better forget the whole thing and just have a good time at the party. But no, when a man has made a decision he ought to stick to it. And his decision had been made. Mr. Danis was ejaculating enthusiastically about the Rooseveltian foreign policy, but that was all right because he only needed a nod now and then to keep him going. Ah, here's Gail now. Don looked up. Boy, she was sure a celestial creaturef Don grabbed her coat to help her put it on. And didn't she have a heavenly smile! Don caught himself suddenly. No sentimentality here. After all, she was just another girl. wasn't she? The only thing that made her special was that she was going to have his B pin. Don smiled happily. He had decided to get this thing over with just as soon as possible. Goodnight, Mr. and Mrs. Danisf' 'Bye, Mum and Dad. Don and Gail ran down the steps together. He helped her into the car and settled himself behind the steering wheel. This was going to be a glorious evening. the best in Don's whole life. Now, right now, was the time. EDNA SMITH E ON slid his '36 coupe alongside the curb. He relaxed for a moment QQ Bellx LJ Eriahlu-nrne Cacluceufn Gail - Yes, Don? Gail, will you-will you look into the glove compartment and see if the Hashlights there? We might need it if there's a flat or something. He ended lamely. Doggone, why couldn't he get it out? lt was such a simple thing to say. Just- A'Gail, will you wear my B pin? Don turned to say that, but there she was with her head stuck practically into the glove compartment. No, this was deinitely not the right moment. He drove the rest of the way in silence. He was completely disgusted with himself and he could just bet Gail was pretty disgusted. too. Janie's house was lit up from top to bottom, and he could hear the victrola blaring out the G-I Jive. Through the window he could see the kids dancing. Almost everyone was there already. Don- helped Gail out of the car, and they ran up to the door. Hi, kids, come on inf Janie took charge of Gail and hustled her upstairs to her bedroom. Don went into the living room and greeted all the kids. Everybody was there: Jim and Marie, Les and Pat, Johnny and Lois, and all the rest of the gang. Most of them were dancing and all of them were having just a wonderful time. Ah, happy careless youth! Yes, thought Don, just a few hours ago he had been as happy and carefree as anyone. Gail and Janie come into the room. Don made his way over to them. Janie disappeared and Don leaned over to talk to Gail. Shall we attempt it? Gail nodded, and they swung out onto the Hoor. Gail certainly was a smooth little dancer. But then she was just a smooth little number. Just when Don was thinking he was pretty lucky to have such a partner, someone cut. Don went over to the side and counted ten. Time to cut, but there was Dave already in there. Egad, but that B pin should have been pinned on her before they got to the dancel Don barged up masterfully and tapped Dave. Gail, I have something that I have to talk to you about. Yes, Don? Someone cut again and Don released her reluctantly. Tell me later. will you? Gail called over her shoulder. Oh, sure. Don slunk over to the side and shoved his hands into his pockets. This kept up all evening. Every time Don got near Gail someone else would come up. At 12:30 Don got disgusted. Come on chick. let's blow. Gail looked surprised, but silently went up to get her things. Don drove home without a word. But he was determined that this evening was not going to get by him without his pinning his B on Gail. They pulled up in front of the house and Don turned off the motor. Gail, he began hesitantly. if you had gone out with a fellow three or four times, and if that fellow had a B pin, and if he would ask you to wear it,-would you? Ninety
