He had fair, curly hair, bright blue eyes, and a girl's pink and white complexion. He looked about fifteen years old. He arrived late one nightg so none of us saw him till the next morning. In the morning he came down to breakfast in a new blue suit without a speck of dust on it, and a spotlessly white collar. After breakfast a lot of the fellows began to question him as to what his name was and what his father did. He was as cool as a cucumber-most new chaps are awfully nervous at first, but he just said very coolly, My father is a gentleman, and so am I. My name is Adolphus Meadf' and then he turned away. The fellows were so astonished that they just stared after him without a word. I never saw such a chap in all my life. Well, time passed. and Mead was as bad as ever. One day, my chum, Cox, said to me, Look here, Todd, we've just got to take Mead down a peg or two. He's simply awful. Yesterday afternoon he came into the study While I was doing prep, and, taking up my Latin dictionaryg he said, 'I'll just borrow your dictionary for awhile,' and out he went, banging the door behind him, before I could say a word, and I've never seen a sign of my book since. Now, what do you think of that for a bit of cheek?', I don't know, I replied. 'Tm sick of Meadg I wish I'd never set eyes on him, so do shut up about him. That evening Cox came to me and said excitedly, I've thought of a rip- ping plan, old chap. Then he told me that he had heard that Lady Parke- stone, who lived about a mile from our school, was giving a big dance. Well, I said impatiently, whatever has that got to do with us? Why, don't you see. answered Cox, it's a splendid opportunity for us to pay out Mead. I didn't see what Lady Parkestone or her dance had to do with Mead and us, until Cox condescended to explain his idea. Well, he said, I asked Mead quite casually the other day if he knew Lady Parkestone, and he replied in an off hand tone that he thought his mother knew herg so let's write him a note from her ladyship inviting him 7 to her dance. He'll feel an awful fool when he goes and finds he wasn't really asked. I told Cox that it was quite surprising how even idiots occasionally hit on a decent idea, because I didn't want him to get too uppish over his plan, which really wasn't a half bad one. After a fierce skirmish, in which I considerably damaged his beauty, we wrote the note. Next day Mead re- ceived the note, and, as he opened it, we saw he looked a bit astonished, which made Cox nudge me violently. On the night of the dance we found out that he had been granted leave to go. As we crossed the playground next morning, we met Mead, and he was grinning like a Cheshire cat. He said in that cheeky tone of his, I say, you two, it was awfully kind of you to invite me to Lady Plarkestone's dance: I enjoyed it immensely. Cox looked rather glum at this, so I retorted hastily, Ah! we took you in nicely that time. You needn't tell us you enjoyed yourself, I bet you felt jolly small when you got there, and I hope it's given you a lesson. Quite the contrary, he answered calmly, so that I felt like punching his head, Lady Parkestone happens to be my motherls cousin, and, as I had already received another invitation from her, I guessed it was supposed to be a trick. All the same it was very thoughtful of you to invite me, and I thoroughly appreciated it. The grub was ripping, and her ladyship tipped me before I went, so I quite enjoyed my 'lesson'. as you call it. He went off whistling cheerfully, leaving Cox and me staring at each other in as- tonishment. We were a couple of fools , groaned Cox, and I agreed. After that we let him alone, and he is just as bad as ever. When he wants to annoy us he says, When's Lady Parkestone's next dance? and of course, we can't say a word. Eugene Jacques-9th Grade. An Amazing Adventure No, I said, there is no real adventure, excitement, or romance in lifeg it is all fiction. People like it, so I write it, but it is well I have a strong imagination? A But , interrupted Tom Van Dyne, you are wrong, very wrong, Greg- ory Eliot, and some day we Che swept his arm above the little group of peo- plej will prove how wrong you are in such. a way that you will never again be able to say with a clear conscience what you have just stated. One night several months later a storm rose to such a height that I went to the window to close the shutters. It is indeed a night when one can be glad he is inside looking out , I said. As I looked, a dim shape detatched itself from, the black shadows and pouring rain, crept stealthily across the small space where the flickering 8 'dt' , v. V ' - IEJEEFEA street lamp threw its dim and iitful light, and disappeared in the enveloping gloom. At the same instant came the sound of running feet. Then sharp and clear above the rumbling thunder came a shriek, the like of which I had never heardg then all was still save the pattering of the rain. Why had not the pursuer passed the light as the pursued had? Why that one shriek, then qu,iet?,' These thoughts shot through my mind like a flash of the lightning of the storm outside. Forgetting my hat and overcoat, but grasping my flash light, I dashed out of the house, taking as nearly as possible the path of the dim form. Suddenly I stopped as if held back by an unseen hand. stood until the next flash of lightning revealed at my feet ani open manhole. The mystery was explained. The shriek, the quiet, the ceasing of pur- suit, all were explained. All had been planned. The open manhole was directly where one running and stumbling off the curb would step directly into it. The pursuer had stopped as soon as he had heard the shriek. I bent over as far as possible without falling in and flashed on my light. Simultaneously with the flashing of my light I heard rather than felt a crushing blow, a blow so great that all that saved me from falling into the hole was a pair of strong arms. My last conscious thought was this: You're jolly well right, old chap, it was all planned, and very well planned, I'll admit? The next thing I can remember was gentle swaying that told me in- stantly I was on ship board. It seemed too much of an effort to open my eyes. When I finally did work up energy enough to look around, all was dark, save a small ray of light that came from a greasy lantern, the odor of which was so great that after a while I extinguished it, leaving the room totally dark, Questions tumbled over one another in my dizzy brain. Where am I? How did I get here? Is it night or day? Then a key turned in the lock and a burly form entered, carrying a lan.- tern. I sat up painfully, a thumping pain at the base of my head telling me that it would not stand for such rough handling and remain humbly passive. The burly form suddenly asserted itself in a voice that shook the cabin. Hello! old fellow, how are you feeling? Very well, save a rather severe headache , I replied. i What would you expect after the sandbag? he feturned laughing roughly, Come on, boys , he called. The others trooped in, pulling off their disguises and laughing up- roariously. My friends had satisfied themselves that they had proven to me that my statement was wrong. But though I did not say so, not wanting an- other broken head, I still claim that that was a hatched adventure.

By the Sea Out by the sound of the lashing wave, The sun shines brightg A light-house standing grim and gray In a golden light. Out by the shore of sand and rock The flap of wingsg Of lands beyond the sea's latch and lock, The sea-bird sings. Out where the song of the pines is soft, A wild thing callsg Although it may crawl or jump aloft It is caged by the great shore walls, Out from the land of the ships astray The night winds roarg While many a storm by waves is waylaid Efer it's cast ashore. Froncie Wood-8th Grade. 10 f :wel La Fontaine de Jeunesse Une fois, il y a longtemps, un pauvre vieux paysan coupait du bois sur le versant diune montagne ties elevee, quand il trouva une source d'eau pure et fraiche. ll se mit a genoux et but profondement, car il faisait tres chaud et il avait grand soif. L'eau etait etonnamment rafraichissante, mais ce qui 1'etonna plus encore quand il apergut son image dans l'6tang, ce fut de voir qu'il etait soudain devenu jeune. Les rides de son visage avaient disparu, ses yeux etaient devenus clairs et brillants, et sa tete qui un moment aupara- vant etait chauve, etait couverte d'6pais cheveux noirs. Et quand il se releva, il sentit que la vigueur de le virilite battait par tout son corps. Il avait bu 51 la fontaine de jeunesse. Rempli de joie, il descendit en toute hate le versant de la montagne, et courut annoncer l'heureuse nouvelle a sa femme. Quand il se precipita dans la petite chaumiere. il causa 21 la pauvre femme un effroi terrible car elle ne pouvait s'imaginer qui etait cet etrange jeune homme, tant etait change le vieillard du matin. Il eut beaucoup de peine a la calmer et a la convaincre qu'i1 etait vraiment son mari. Et alors elle se mit 51 pleurer, car elle craignlait qu'un si beau jeune homme serait indifferent pour une pauvre vieille femme comme elle. Mais vous boirez, aussi, s'ecria-t-il, et alors nous serons jeunes tous les deux. je puis facilement vous diriger vera la sourceg allez-y, elle ne revenait pas. Qu'etait-il arrive? S'etait elle egaree? Enfinl, grande- pendant que je resterai ici pour garder la chaumiere. Une heure, deux heures passerent, un long temps s'ecoula, et cependant ment alarme, il partit a sa recherche. Il retrouva facilement la source, mais point sa femme. Il ne la voyait pas aux alentours et elle ne repondait pas a. son appel. Dans son desespoir, il etait pret a abandonner ses recherches, quand il entendit un gemissement plaintif venant du buisson voising 'ayant ecarte les branches, il trouva une toute petite enfant. La pauvre femme, dans son ardeur, avait bu trop profondement. Judith Spencer-9th Grade. The Latin Club ,157 , X HE Latin Club has twenty-one members. The officers are Ber- g nard Block, presidentg Vincent Fortune, vice-president and rx james McClellan, secretary. At some of our meetings, we study the life and customs of the Romansg at others, we spend our time on etymology, which is far more interesting than it sounds. Some of our members are at work on charts dealing with such sub- jects as The LaWyer's Use of Latin , The Doctor's Use of Latin , The Cartoonist's Use of Classical Subjects and Everyday Latin Expressions. Of course, we sing the Carmina Latina , and at times we even descend from our classic heights to indulge in games-Latin games, of course. james McClellan. 11 , - -Y ' fx x . - ' E. ' s...

Die quodam, dum hic morantur, a manu equitatus hostium oppugnati sunt. Fa- cile capti sunt, quod tela non habuerunt. Marcus miser- rimus erat, quod honorem patris maculaverat. Tandem eum ad imperatorem duxerunt. Ille constituit Marcum cum hostibus legato quodam commutare. Romano in exercitu autem fuit legatus, Lucius nomine, qui Marcum oderat. Gavisus est igitur, ubi Marcus captus est. Comimutationem prohibere constituit, et Caesari de dedecore Marci litteram scripsit. Ob hanc causam, Max-cum non commutaverunt. Imperatus est ut interficeretur. Paulo ante horarn, Elia imperatoi is eum vidit. Tum ad patrem cucurrit et dixit, Pater, cur adulescentem non vivere patis? Tam iuvenis est! Imperator hanc supplicationem audivit, et eam concessit. Brevi tempore, Marcus Romam ievertit et omnes vehementer gavisi sunt. Sed Lucius tam iratus est ut se interficeret.

Paper Collection VERY one is preaching thrift now a days and we girls and boys , ,XXX of Blewett Junior High are learning to be thrifty in many ways. One of these ways is the saving of old newspapers which would probably be burned up. You will probably be surprised when we tell you that the school children in St. Louis collected over 520,000 worth of old paper last year. Blewett junior High ranked sixth in the average amount brought per pupil and first in the total amount per school. We are aiming to be first in both respects this year, and we feel sure from the reports up to date that we will keep our place at the top in the total amount. If all the groups in the school worked as hard and as regularly as a few earnest ones, we feel sure there would not be any doubt as to Blewett's rank in both respects in this good work. The following are our star groups and we heartily thank them for their steady, good work: 9th Grade-Miss Thomure's group. Sth Grade-Miss Maus's group. 7th Grade-Miss Colfer's group. These are our boosters. 13 P! WHEN-A'F EILLEFQ NEEDSA' IEND A131 Cv Y5 A-51.5219-I FD Y 6 f Q Eegwmm YA LILWARU lg Ig! NAI.-Q sroP fwfvmmf M h AN,KEE,,7r, H. STR R we mon ,YR Our! 1 . X Kf!

The Reporter's Club 15:7 X , HE Reporters' Club is composed of a member elected from each 3 advisory group. They are all proud of the name reporter . J 5 Readers of the junior Life and the Year Book see evi- , dence of our constant work throughout the year. It is the busi- ness of the reporters to collect news for our paper, boost sub- scriptions and distribute the paper to their groups. So you see we are most business like, and since everyone works hard, we shall not single out anyone for special mention. No one can pass the threshold of Room 220, who has not brought some bit of material for the Junior Life. Seldom does any one try to get by the warder of the door. We have snappy discussions guided by our president, Lucille Powell. We also have an occasional entertainment. Usually before we finish the regular business, the bell rings, and we are off again to collect news for the next meeting. The following are the reporters for the last semester: James Beagle, Mildred Benas, Lucille Bauernfeind, Mary Britton, Sylvia Carafiol, Edward Carlin, William Candy, Jack Corkins, joseph Corn, Muriel Cote, Mary Cranston, Frances Davis, Jessie Gorman, Sophie Harris, Dorothy Hewitt, Ruth Jones, Helen Knight, Helen Levin, Harry Loeb, Edwin Liven- good, Minard McCarthy, Bernard Mayer, Edmund McCarthy, Helen McKee, Southwood Morse, Mae Mulholland, Wilma Nichols, Margaret North, Lucille Powell, Robinette Robinson, Sophie Rovin, Norton Schafer, Bertha Schultz, David Shanbath, Robert Short, Forrest Seay, Edwin Steele, Lillie Stein, Her- mine Steinbiss, Gerald Ulria, Sam VanDynue, Willard Turley, William Whalen, Virginia Williamson.

Club Reporter The Meaning of Junior High Y'-,Q JUNIOR High is an organized school which permits pupils of 1525 the early, adolescent period to live the most abundant life pos- KQ gg sible. A reader of The Junior Life is made conscious of the ,ggjzeglgg multiplied activities in which the pupils of Blewett Junior participate. It is with much pleasure and profit that I read each issue of your valu- able paper always laden and sparkling with the real and positive experiences of the boys and girls who are given the opportunity accepted so promptly and splendidly of participating in every phase of activity of the life of a school which is endeavoring to put into practice the ideal so true, that training for citizenship like any other training must come through practice. 1' gfbg fs I mention this because some of the critics of Junior High confuse pupil participation in the co-operative life of Blewett with the traditional notion of ll' gg- self-government which lonlg since has been judged a failure or a fake. The making of The junior Life convinces one that the machinery of co-opera- tion between students and faculty is made so simple that, under the guidance and advice of the faculty, boys and girls of this age may do some real purpos- ing, planning and executing resulting in achievements worth while. The junior Life is but one of many projects successfully accomplished by you. This message is designed to stimulate you in making the best of these opportunities and in so doing to live nobly the life of your school which life is composed of the real elements of future citizenship. I desire to strengthen this message by supplementing my own words with the message of 24592 boys and girls of your present ages who have been de- prived of the opportunities you now possess of acquiring the experiences which come in living the life you are now living, with citizens of their own ages under supervision of friends instead of being forced too early into the environment of adult life where adult experiences come upon them so fast with no one at times to interpret these experiences that they make miserable failures, neither they nor their parents knowing why the failures have come. Boys and girls to make the best men and women must live this early adolescent life with citizens of their own age and not try to live the life of the adult before having acquired gradually the experiences of the adult. I would like to give you the contents of 2592 letters I received recently from boys and girls in the Continuation Schools, who quit the elementary school at 14 years of age, most of them without completing the elementary school and are now found struggling in the busy streams of industry and commerce. Over 67.405 advise pupils to remain in school as long as possible. This is my message. You should not fail, if possible, to take advantage of an education when you have the opportunity of thinking and acting for yourself under the guid- ance of sympathetic counsellors: of living the life of a junior before trying to live the life of an adult-a school life where junior citizenship is composed of all the elements of adult citizenship. Stay in school. Do your part well in making the citizenship of junior High healthy and wholesome. L-. W. Rader, Assistant Superintendent of Instruction. Mr. Taylor's Comments Mr. Taylor, is principal of a good junior High School, and, before visiting Blewett, had visited a number of the best junior High Schools in the Mis- sissippi Valley. His comments for the superintendent of his city were in sub- stance as follows: The three fundamentals upon which a Junior High School must be built, first, scientific grouping of pupils: second, pupil participation in school life, and third, socialized recitatiorns, are exemplified more fully in the Blewett School than in any school visited. This school is really delivering the goods along this line. 18 U- ., 'EW'-EN 'wr 3 Y brief stay in St. Louis was delightful in every way. I appre- ggn Q 9 ciated the heartiness of your hospitality. It is a pleasure to add Mfg that of the fifteen or twenty schools I have visited this spring none was more interesting to me than Ben Blewett junior High School. The work being done by your teachers was not only interesting, but, I think, effective. I was especially impressed with the spirit of both pupils and teachers. It is so easy, when teachers are tired, or un- skilled, or undevoted, to nag the sweetness out of English instruction. The only reason why I did not kidnap your teachers and a hundred of your nice boys and girls and carry them with me to New England Was mistrust of my ability to carry the thing through successfully. Q Y Alfred M. Hitchcock, Director of English, Hartford High School, Author of junior English. Blewett Junior High-An Appreciation if ,' 3 HE junior High Idea as evidenced to me through the working of 3 your school stands for: u Q3 Economy of time-In that it bridges, through concentration of subject matter and intellectual energy, the wasteful period of the orthodox grade school, wherein the student marks time be- cause of uncertainty of educational objective and duplication in traditional course of study. Directness of Objective-In that the student develops initiative, judg- ment and power through purposeful clinics in his study of race experience in history, literature, science and industry which through dramatic action makes him a part of this junior Republic. The older order of education developed spectators in citizenship, social science, contests, athletics and industrial arts, but the junior High makes each student a participant in the actual practice machinery of living. It is no far cry from student government, legislative, judicial and exec- 11tive functions as performed in your junior High Congress to the same func- tions in the larger, social, industrial, national life. Your school makes the boys and girls residents of a miniature, social, in- dustrial and political world and habituates them in the practices, industrial life, ethics and patriotic impulses of the future citizen and makes them truly residents of the celestial city of Fine Minds. Freedom of expression: The disciple of mature years may criticize the transfer of discipline from the quiet mental inertia of the older education to responsive dynamic brain and thought reaction that comes from the junior organization, but I consider it a very great virtue-this recognition of the lf! - I W fact that the student has thoughts, plans, methods and opinions worthy of expression and possesses the poise of one who is more mature. The Blewett junior High School faces the rising sun of progress. It be- longs. Its works are a Warrant for its existence. Charles J. Britton. A Record Breaker's Creed , BELIEVE in Ben Blewett Junior High School as a school that Q welcomes its new pupils with an open heart and makes them feel at homeg that strives to Find their weak points and strong points in order to overcome the weak ones and make the strong ones stronger, thus helping them to become better and more helpful members of Blewett. I therefore believe it is my duty to Blewett to love itg to stand up for its idealsg to respect its morttog to co-operate with its principals, its teachers, its student officers, its student groupsg and last but not least to defend it against all unjust criticism. -- ' aff 1 MISS TIMM.ERHERM'S Junior Life Bookkeepers. 20 - if mem The Blevvett junior High School QEstab1ished 19171. Ben Blewett junior High School strives to recognize and act upon the following simple truths: 1. a. The opening sentence in any reliable recipe for Educated Citizen is, Catch and hold one child. It is futile to plan what one will do by way of educating children, if the majority of children are not going to be on hand when the time comes for imparting the instruction. b. The ends of Democracy are not properly served until at least a major- , ity of children receive instruction throughout that period of their lives in which their ideas of citizenship are crystallizing. BLEWETT KEEPS IN SCHOOL TWICE AS MANY AS WERE RETAINED UNDER THE OLD PLAN. BLEWETT ELIMINATES THE GAP BETWEEN . THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND THE HIGH SCHOOL. 2. The paramount question in the administration of a school is not, How well is the pupil fitted for the school? It is, How well is the school fitted for the pupil? BLEWETT HAS A BROAD AND ELASTIC CURRICULUM, AND, IN ADDITION, SIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF GROUPS. MORE THAN THAT, IF A PUPIL DOES NOT FIT INTO ONE OF THE SIX A SPECIAL PLAN CAN BE MADE. FOR HIM. HIGH SPEED GROUPS FOR REGULAR PUPILS INTERMEDIATEI GROUPS NORMAL SPEED GROUPS RAPID PROMOTION GROUP FOR OVER-AGE PUPILS TRANSFER GROUP FOR SPECIAL CASES IN THE SEVENTH GRADE i ADJUSTMENT GROUP 3. Man has developed his control of the gifts and forces of nature and his systems of producing and accounting for wealth far beyond his c0ntr01 of his own nature. The crying need now is for men and women, not things: Community Citizens: Nation' Citizens: World Citizens. EVERY PUPIL AT BLEWEJTT IS AT ALL TIMES ENGAGED IN THE STUDY AND PRACTICE OF CITIZENSHIP. 4. Citizenship cannot be taught by word of mouth alone. It is vital that there be practice in citizenship.

The Blewett Junior High School wants to be by all means a Democracy, and the teacher's func- tion in this Democracy is to help and guide the pupils in their efforts to bel law abiding citizens. Besides the understood meaning of its existence and of its composition, the Cabinet has, like all other democratic bodies, a constitution and certain determined functions. It would take too much space to describe at length all the duties of the Cabinet, but they can conveniently be expressed in three words: To hear, to discuss, to act. It hears, through its members, reports, requests, suggestions, etc., from all the school organizations or from indi- viduals in the student body and in the facultyg it discusses those reports, re- quests, suggestions in a real democratic way, it acts according to the deci- sions made after discussions. For instance, early in the first term this year, a suggestion came from both pupils and the faculty that the school should undertake to raise money for its various activities by the means of a moving picture show. The Cabinet took the matter in hand and carried it through splendidly and successfully with a net profit of Sl,847.3i2. Thanks to this fund, the school now owns a Fine moving picture machine, and all the activities have been provided with very much needed funds for their betterment. As a conclusion, the writer begs to say that he considers it as a special honor to have been a member of the Cabinet for the last two terms. G. De La Roche. The Ninth Grade Congress Wg ' ' 2 HE Ninth Grade Congress has, in the term that has just passed, done many things that will decide the future happenings in D Junior. It is the duty of the congress to voice the sentiment of our various groups into one, that of the Ninth Grade. Through the three congresses by means of their representatives, we bring the topics re- lating to the.whole school to the cabinet. Each of the congresses has a choice of two members to represent it in the cabinet and two for the Blewett B council. In this manner we get the matters through the school, and we do our best to decide for the best. We wish to thank the teachers and pupils of Blewett for their kind co- operation in all activities, and We certainly wish to thank Miss Crecelius for her much appreciated direction and guidance. Our present oiiicers are: 25 -. l. ,V i W, ,A , g-g 'surrey C President ...... Hodgen Montague Vice-P'resident.Woodford Lawrence Secretary ...... Mary Glenn Mellor Cabinet Representative ...........

We meet every other Monday the fourth period, when we discuss your plans for the improvement of the eighth grade. Some of the things we have done in the past year are: Prepared plans for having a school Flower and started a drive on keeping the rooms clean and having good order. Lately we have made a special drive on good order, going and coming and while in the auditorium. We have done many other services, and in the next year we hope to do better. We desire every pupil in the eighth grade to work in co-operation for the benefit of the eighth grade and the Ben Blewett junior High School. Boyd Britton-8th Grade. The Seventh Grade Congress Mg' px HE Seventh Grade Congress meets every Tuesday, the sixth period in Room 109. It consists of a boy and girl from each of ya the seventh grade groups. This Congress makes the laws of the entire seventh grade. The representatives from each advisory group bring suggestions or requests from their own class. These are acted upon by the Congress and the results carried back to the advisory groups. Sometimes the School Cabinet sends questions to be discussed by the Congress. These questions are referred to the advisory groups by the congress members, and the result of the groups' action is finally carried back to the cabinet, by cabinet members.

There is also an unlimited number of sergeants and corporals. It is under the supervision and direction of Mr, Milster, a member of the -N 1 fu .l 41, ' , sl ' ' A-, faculty. All pupils who wish to become corridor officers must fill out an applica- tion blank and must be recommended by his adviser and two other members of the faculty. ' The captain is elected by all the members by ballot. The captain rec- ommends the lieutenants, and they select the sergeants and corporalsg but all these appointments must be approved by the faculty member in charge. Corridor off-icers assist in. the passing of all lines, and insist on the proper conduct of all pupils while out of the class rooms. When there are outdoor activities, they help to preserve order and the appearance of the campus. It is considered an honor to be a corridor oiilicer, and it is the ambition of many pupils to become one. The group is very congenial, and is doing its share to make Junior a pleasant place for all.

Mary, have you heard that I am a teller at the Blewett ' Thrift Bank? Oh, I am so happy. But Mary, have you heard l of the bank? I think it's the best bank in the world. Listen and I will tell you all about it. It was organized by Mr. Ryan, our principal, and Miss Rice, our commercial teacher. We opened for business on February 7. That is a red letter day in my history. We are located in a large sunny room on the second floor of the school. We have plenty of light to count the money. We have cages like a real ban.k, and we are very proud of them because they were made in the forging shops of our own school. They are made of iron, but they are covered with a gold paint and they show up just iine. And the bank books, oh Mary, they are the cunningest little things, and you feel so proud of yourself every time you look in your book and see your account growing. Our deposit slips and our withdrawal slips are printed in our school. We are open for business from eight to half past in the morning and from eleven- twenty to twelve at noon. The class is divided into tellers, directors, book- keepers, checkers, and filers. We take deposits from five cents up, and we allow withdrawals to be made only in thrift stamps. We have only been in business three months, and we have a deposit of 51500, and our withdrawals amount to 3800. Now, Mary, for several reasons I think it is the best bank in the world. First of all your money is deposited with Uncle Sam, and you know what all the world thinks of that worthy gentleman. If you deposit your money in a down town bank you get only three per cent interest, while U. S. allows four per cent. I have heard some of the pupils say, Oh, I will not deposit my money in your bank because I can not get it out when I want it. Now you ask the pupils who have saved enough money to buy a big stamp if that is so. One boy in our class had sixty-seven dollars, and he cashed in his stamps without any trouble. The minute your money is deposited it starts. to bear interest. Then the second reason is the bank is a Ben Blewett enter-- prise, and that is a very good reason why we should patronize it. Six groups in the school have 100105 depositors. They are Miss Maus's: group, Miss Heddergott's group, Miss Pryor's group, Miss Thomure's group, Miss Baker's group. Miss Forbes's group and Miss Lange's group. Six hun- dred depositors, six groups with 10005 depositors, S1500 in money is not a bad record for a young bank. So, Mary, let us give three cheers for the BLEWETT THRIFT BANK. Martha Goldman-Miss Maus's Group. 35 fr. -4 ri 1 l 1 1 1 1 Y 1 'i I ,X LG...

U LL the art classes had been working very hard on posters for the tax raise. Mr. Ryan had asked for posters, and every art pupil was doing his best in order not only to please him but help win the school tax. As each poster was Finished it was hung in the hall. At last the judges came and awarded prizes not from the artistic side especially but to those who were able to carry over the idea most directly. Some portrayed the school, others the happy children going to school, and one showed a large calendar with the date, reminding all not to forget to vote yes. The Hrst Grand Prize was given to Harry Randle of the eighth gradeg the second Grand Prize to Avice Close of the ninth grade. A first prize was also given to Kathyrn Steinburg of the eighth grade al- lotment drawing and to Eugene Ruane of the seventh grade drawing.

We brought as much paper as we could, and when our name appeared in the daily bulletin we were in the seventh Heaven of delight. It was the same in Thrift Stamps, in one hundred per cent junior Life subscriptions, and in putting over our first Aud. session. We had the right kind of spirit, the spirit of true, Blewetts.

It was amusing to note, how we soon failed to hear in their speech, the expres- sion- Now in the Chicago schools - If we could lift the veil that hides the future, it would not be hard to imagine Rumsey Thompson holding forth in Grand Opera or Margaret North as a demure nun, serving as a missionary in some foreign country. How easy it is to picture Mary Glenn Mellor as a gentle hospital nurse or to see Homer Coulter and Arnold Smith surveying their broad acres in the coun- try or to feel that the name Babe Ruth will be supplanted by that of Littleton Rubenstein. We can almost see Jane Bergen presiding over a mathematics class in some high school. Arthur Albertstein and Edward Zimmer can well be imagined as leaders in some great orchestra. How natural it is to see Howard Stark and Frank 'Kern eloquently pleading cases for their clients be- fore spell-bound people in a court room. But why go through the whole list? The class is closely bound by bonds of friendship and the best wish that each member makes for the class is, that the future may have success in store for all of its members.

Many paths A have led us to junior, both grade and private schools being well 41 1-45 A .4 3 .1 fr if Q-ff' represented in our gathering. Even at junior our paths have separated, for we are known in nearly all lines of study offered to students. We have representatives in the following electives: Domestic Science, Manual Training, Mathematics, French, Latin, Span- ish, Commercial, Art. Class tendencies have also made our group diverge in the selection of clubs. We have pupils in the following clubs: Social Service, Boys' Glee, Dramatic, Model makers, Orchestra, Maga- zine, Reporters, French, Tennis, Mechanical Drawing. Our class also comes in for its share of student activities. Every mem- ber is a bank depositor, and we have responded well to other calls. Our group is very proud of its individual records. Arnold Mason and James Watson, both formerly members of the Field School, have received the high- est merits given in activities and scholarship. Arnold is the student having made thirteen A's out of sixteen grades, and jimmy is our Held hero. We are also honored by having another of our members on the baseball team, Russel Weaver. Jack Lunt was also a star in the athletic Held, but we are very sorry that he had to leave junior on account of an injury to his knee, which made an operation necessary. As for the girls, Olive Loughin broke the record in the far throw, and Maggie jane McLaren was chosen to be the accompanist in the Boys' Glee club. On one honor roll more pupils were enrolled from our room than any other single room. We certainly are proud of our qualities and our honors and believe we have left a record behind us that was Well worth while. This record we hope to continue at Soldan.

With the exception of a few, we all had Miss Crecelius as our first ad- viser in room 301, where we had many pleasant times, and got a right start in Junior. Miss Crecelius having been made seventh grade administrator, we were given. to Mr. Forsman, whom we enjoyed having as an adviser for one year and a half. Under Mr. Forsman's wise guidance, we overcame obstacles, had enjoyable days and progressed in our work. When we reached the ninth grade, Mr. Boettner, whom we all admire and respect, took us in charge. Our group has co-operated in many ways to help the school: We went over the top in Junior Life subscriptions in ten minutesg we brought the highest amount of paper for a few weeks in the competitions and have given two good Auditorium sessions. Our group has always been on top in sports. In baseball, in 19210 we Won the seventh and eighth grade championship. In 1921, we hope to be champions of the school. We have participated not only in baseball, but in track, football and basketball. We are going to continue the good work throughout our last half year of Junior and into the senior high school.

Since our entrance in September as seventh graders, we have completed a year's work, and we are well into the first quarter of the eighth grade. In our group there are several members of whom we are very proud. Foremost among our leaders is William Schaeffer. He has shown great spirit in all of our activities, and he has taken good care of us in the office of president. We are prouder of him than ever since he has been awarded the Blewett B for citizenship. Then there are Ralph McKee, Virginia Williamson and Dorothy johnson who are our leaders in scholarship. Virginia Yost and Kenneth Kennel have ably represented us in the seventh grade congress. In the list of very live members we must not forget William Goodrich, the captain of our baseball team, who with his nine have won many victories for us. As bugler William Goodrich also enjoys the privilege of frequently calling the citizens of junior to salute the flag at the opening and the closing of the school day. Virginia Rodgers-8th Grade. The History of the '6Torch Bearers gg f - BOUT two years ago, a badly frightened, meek looking group of if new sevens met in room 129. Our minds were filled with ques- tions enough to lill a book, such as: Where is the elevator? or When do we eat? After much signing of slips and cards, we were put into Mr. Grossrnan's group. As he was a new teacher and we were new pupils, all went well till we were transferred at the end of the half to Miss O'Hare. This was but temporary, however as Miss O'Hare soon deserted us. We were semi-orphans for -a while until Miss Rothman, who is now our adviser, adopted us. We are now quite busy finishing up the eighth grade, and expect to be much busier next year, doing bigger and better things, when we shall be in the ninth grade. To our great sorrow, many of our friends have left us, going to different parts of the world: but we have received many new pupils, who have almost taken their places.

Throughout this school year, we have been first to be 10005 paid up subscribers. We have the same record for buying our school Year Book. In being 10,0170 Blewett Bank depositors we were sixth on the honor roll. In September, we were presented with a banner by the French Club, as we brought the largest amount of money for the French Orphans. As a group, we have tried to earn all of the money called for for these activities, except as Bank depositors, for in that case each must be saving and thrifty that his own bank book may show a good balance to his credit. In June, 1920, we had a family picnic on the Hagerty's lawn at the edge of Forest Park, where we brought our parents and had a spread We had our pictures taken. In November, we enjoyed giving in the Auditorium, our favorite play A Rural School Sketch. In December the boys were given a Christmas party by the girls because they were the victors in the spelling, promptness, and paper-bringing con- test. On March 31, 1921, we gave a play entitled The House of the Heart at Mrs, Lippman's home, No. 6 Thornby Place. Refreshments were served and everybody had a good time. We shall always remember the school tax campaign in which we took part, also our Parents' Night and many other events too numerous to mention. Wm. A.

I have only seen it once, so I think I am entitled to another glance. Oh, there it is, now! Isn't it large and pretty? The above was said by a new Jay on the first day of a new term. As she and her friend entered the building, they looked around in amaze- ment, for oh, how large it did seem. They were directed by a courteous cor- ridor ofiicer, who told them to go to the west auditorium, which they did, in fear and trembling. What if the test they had been warned of was too hard for them, or what if they make a mistake that would cost them their chances of a high place in the class room to which they would be assigned? But they were at the auditorium now, and how packed it did seem with Hnew jays ! After a time of keen excitement, they were assigned to rooms for the test. But oh, how funny! The dreaded test was really fun. The next day they were assigned to rooms, and these two girls had luck enough to be put into the same class. Their adviser's name was Miss Geitz whom they still have. The class voted for the name Junior Meteors and the motto On Our Way and have helped to stick both to the name and motto. This class brought paper, bought Thrift Stamps, subscribed to the Junior Life and now deposits in the Blewett Thrift Bank. Kathryn Steinberg.

We cut out papendolls, and made ,Q scrap books for the hospitals until Thanksgiving, when the Thanksgiving offering taken yearly for the benefit of several in- stitutions of charity in the city, the Bethesda Home, the Little Sisters of the Poor, and the Jewish Alliance, were taken charge of by us. The response of Junior was more than we dared to hope, and many poor people were given something to be thankful for on that day. A drive for books for the Boyle Memorial Center's library was made, and two hundred seventy-Five books were collected. At Christmas time two hundred seventeen stockings of candy, oranges, nuts and toys were Filled by the Social Service Club and other friends of Junior High, and made many children happy. They were sent to the Free Clinic Ward at Barnes Hospital and the Christian Orphans' Home. When the club was reorganized in january, sixty girls enrolled. As this made the membership too large for one sponsor, Miss Thias kindly consented to help us. We adopted little Fanny Bommarito, a child who attends the Boyle Day Nursery, and four dresses, two pairs of bloomers, two hair ribbons, a pair of socks, and two pairs of stockings have been given to her by several members of the club. FANNIE BOMMARITO. 99 6 A The drive for jelly, which was divided between the Boyle Center and the Italian Day Nursery at 10th and Carr, brought one hundred twenty-five glasses of jelly and over five gallons of jam, which was very much appreciated by the children of the nurseries. Another book drive to supply the 10th and Carr Nursery's library is now being held. The members of the club are very much interested in what we are doing, and we all hope that the work we have helped to carry on for a little while, will not perish from junior High. Lenore Wilson, Secretary of the Social Service Club. The Cadet Club F you are looking for a real good time in your club period, join 9 the cadet club. We have 31 members this year and oh boy, we A have semen pep. Last year they had a good many more in the clL. i, but this year we have just about enough, although we T' ' heartily welcome new members. At the second meeting of the club we elected officers as follows: Captain .............. Hugh White Sergeant .... ..... N evins Poston lst Lieutenant .... William Walker Secretary ........ James Sturtevant 2nd Lieutenant , . . .Lawrence Davis Treasurer ......... Harold Groves Captain White is captain, and he certainly can drill. We all hope to be able to drill as well as he and the lieutenants some day. We like our other oh'-icers very much and do not in the least regret our choice. We spend our time in many activities interesting to all of us. Most of our time is spent in drill on the campus. We certainly have a splendid time. We have learned many of the preliminary commands known to every good cadet and soldier. We have learned among others, the following commands: About Face, Right and Left Face, Right Dress, Attention, Squads Right and Left, etc. Another interesting thing is the program, presented to us once each month by the members of the program committee. They are as follows: David Black, Chm.g Sidney Franzel, Edgar Grollneck, Bennie Roman. They usually arrange quite an interesting program for us. I hear that this week they are going to present two plays, one of them entitled Loy- alty and the other Beyond Discipline. In the Hrst, written by Franzel, the disloyalty of one man, Lieutenant Davis, is shown, while the loyalty of a private is made to contrast with it.

One of our nicest trips has been to Meramec Quarry I where we had a very lovely time climbing among the rocks. Another nice trip which we have planned is to Sugar Creek. On account of the rainy weather and damp ground, we have not been able to take as many hikes this spring as desired. Every other week, the Hiking Club has its business meeting when we discuss our last hike and plan our next one. We have fifty-two members in the Hiking Club.

Qing The club has continrued this year its study of libraries of the world, and has increased its efliciency in the reading of indexes and the locating of books, which tends to save time and also work, for the pupil as well as for the librarians. ff s its 'N I 1. q 5.4-' U up web. or A kg . ,555 ' .235 At each meeting the program committee provides an entertaining and in- structive program, anid aims to show the students the wide variety of subjects treated in the books of the library.

These sections contain material on English, biography, civics, voca- tions, music, practical arts, languages, nature study, general science, mathe- matics, and general reference books. In the store room. We have literature for the English classes. We also have a table of magazines and a collection of pamphlets. There are story books that we can, take out for two weeks. In general, our aim is to learn to use the resources of our library in order that we may better prepare our assigned class work.

CL E LIBRARY TH The Star Study Club arg: HE Star Study Club has enrolled in its membership this year, twenty-six boys. Our aim is to become acquainted with the . heavenly bodies, and to know them by name. The officers of the club are: Curtis Singleton, Presidentg Arthur Rosenfeld, Secretary-Treasurer. On the night of April 19, 1921, the club met on the campus to gaze at the stars. Though the sky was a little hazy, the boys succeeded in getting a fine view of the stars and planets through the telescope. Some of the bodies that were viewed were the moon, on which were seen the craters, Tycho Brahe and Copernicus. This put a sensation through them all-to think the moon is a dead world, probably once a world like ours. Then the telescope was trained on the red star Betelgeuse that is known be- cause of Michaelson's invention which measured its diameter and 'found it to be three hundred million miles. Rigel clothed in the whiteness of youth was next seen. The belt of Orion showed up with its three vivid stars that point directly to the great dog star called Sirius, which is a star of the first mag- nitude. It can be seen on all clear nights in the winter and spring. The planet Jupiter and his four moons in our own Solar system could be seen plainly and Saturn with its rings of molten matter was another interesting sight. Farther eastward Arcturus was seen in his rosy light, making his way across the heavens. When a star has reached this rosy color astronomers say it is an indication of old age. All these wonderful bodies made the night very interesting, and we are sure all the boys went home that evening with a greater knowledge of the things beyond our Mother Earth. A Wm. E.

Stamps belonging to the members were auctioned. The members IC- ceived the proceeds from the sales. At the present time three stamp companies are owned and operated by members of this club, one of which is the BARNES 8: SMALL STAMP CO. who carry an advertisement in this Year Book. The STAMP CLUB is beneficial to a non-collector as well as to a col- lector, because it widens the knowledge of countries, coins, rulers, geography, zoology, history, mythology. astronomy, heraldry, etc. The Garden Club ,, , HE Garden Club has made great progress this year.

We advise you to join the Garden Club next year, if you wish to have an interesting time. Pringle George and Charles Priwer. 107 THE GARDEN CLUB, MISS CRECELIUS, Sponsor. Camp Fire Girls' Club Q , HE sponsor of the ninth grade division of the Camp Fire Girls is Miss L. Mills. We are Camp Fire Girls in name and in spirit. We en- deavor to live up to the Camp Fire ideals as much as possible. We have learned the Camp Fire rules and have taken each one separately and talked about it. We each have an Indian name which has a meaning. For example, the name one girl chose was Nec-a-chee which is taken from needed and cheerful, Another name, meaning Butterfly , was taken because the girls liked the sun. We have taken two hikes to Forest Park. On one, we had a Wiener and marshmallow roast, on the other, a picnic lunch. We are planning now to do some Social Service work as all Camp Fire girls should be helpful. Last term the club made scrap-books for hospitals. During our indoor meetings we have many interesting and entertaining programs which are due to our talented members. One of our members wrote a play which was dramatized very effectively. 109 ll ,ml.4 Our officers are the following: Presi'dent ,,........ Gladys Russell Treasurer .,.........

It has also been our pleasure to sing in choruses, at times for the school. An extraordinary advantage about this club is that it not only admits those with a good voice, but those without a good voice as well so that they may be trained to sing better than they otherwise would. Our invitation to sing at the Delmonte Theatre with a professional or- chestra was a memorable one. The girls who went enjoyed it, as did our audience. This year when we caroled on Christmas Eve, we collected over one hundred and eighty-three dollars for the Childrenis Aid Society. We sang at the Town Club, and also at Vandervoort's Tea Room, where we were the guests of Mr. Wilkinson, the president of the firm. We greatly appreciated this. We have many a good time in the Glee Club and we certainly appre- ciate our sponsor, Miss Hudson. We are always delighted to welcome new members. Our officers are: President ..,..........

One of our members, who used to be a first violinist, was interested enough ll-i Y mga to learn to play it. A clarinet and saxaphone have also been added. How- ever, we are very much in need of brass and wind instruments. If you play one, join the club next year, thereby helping the orchestra, and yourself, too. We played Parents' Night, also at seventh, eighth, and ninthigrade audi- torium sessions, and by the time this goes to print we will have taken part in the yearly concert at Cleveland High School. The Dramatic Club called upon us to open their entertainment, May 10th. Not only as an organization are we asked to assist, but the individual members are often called on by other organizations and groups of the school to give their assistance, so you see we are a useful as well as pleasure club.

Aren't you glad? 53322933 Yes, he was glad, but our aud. sessions do more than merely give pleasure. There are many other benefits derived both by the participants and the audience. Here are a few benefits to the group giv- ing the session. It gives them practice in learning a part, self-confidence in appearing before an audience, and a desire to present their speeches in an effective and interesting manner, it also helps to develop a healthy group spirit, for each one works to shed honor on his group, nothimself. As for the audience, we may say that the pupils' minds are benefited by seeing a num- ber of instructive playsg and they learn how to conduct themselves in a re- spectful and orderly manner without the direct supervision of the teachers. We have had many interesting aud. sessions in each grade th-is yearg but we can mention only a few because of lack of space. A reading of the follow- ing notes will give a fair idea of the type of sessions held during the year. An educational Pageant was presented by Miss Willit's group. The children impersonated the principal characters and wore costumes which rep- resented the different periods, beginning with an Indian dance and extending through the phases of education to the present time. The Three C group wr0te a play on the subject of Missouri's one hun- dred years of statehood. This was played before the seventh grade in March. Both performers and audience seemed to Find it interesting and enjoyable. An occasion of great interest in our auditorium this year was the visit of Edgar A. Guest. Many members of the faculty enjoyed with us the pleasure of listening to this poet of the people. For a half hour Mr. Guest entertained us by reciting many of his poems describing the simple joys of home life. Humorous selections then followed and he ended by reciting with much feel- ing his beautiful poem of The Flagn. Mr. Guest's visit was due to the invi- tation of the Edgar A. Guest Group. l3-L 5 The picture show put on with our own lantern on April 26, was a decided success. In many ways it represented the spirit of junior. It was an ex- pression of what is made possible through the co-operative effort of pupils, parents and faculty. Almost any plan may be brought to fruition when be- hind it lies the spirit of each for all and all for each . Again, the occasion gave the pupils an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to govern them- selves. Seats were at a premium and the show lasted three recitation periods, yet not one thoughtless act marred the pleasure of the morning. The pupils took charge of the performance, managing the picture machine, attending to the ventilation and directing the singing between acts. Furthermore, every- one enjoyed the picture The Tale of Two Cities for its own sake and car- ried away the conviction that life is made more meaningful through the spirit of service and sacrifice. The visit of Chief Buffalo Bear brought a bit of real local color to junior. Our imaginations were kindled as he stood before us in his wonderful head- dress and beaded shirt and told the story of the simple home life of the In- dians. For a moment we lived in a tent made of buffalo skins, slept on soft fur rugs, and ate three meals a day of stewed buffalo meat. We thrilled over his review of Custer's last fight, even though he sought to bias our judg- ment in favor of the Indian. He closed his talk with an appeal for a day to be set aside in the calendar for the purpose of paying tribute to the Indian as the native American. Remember the last scene in Miss Maus's Aud. how Bumbuku Chagama was carried in with great pomp and ceremony, reclining in her chair carried by four natives? Remember the Japanese effect given by the japanese song and the huge japanese umbrella? And then, of course, you remember how the wonderful teakettle, Violette Heins, performed the daring feat of walking across a tightly drawn tight rope, held loosely in two attendants' hands and resting on the floor. It was a great success-at least the applause gave us that impression, Miss F. Brown's group gave an auditorium session April 21, 1921, en- titled, The Trials of a Hostess. The scene was in a woman's club, before the time of women suffrage. Helen Oster as the hostess took the part very well. Bridget, fresh from the old sod, who through her clumsiness caused many laughs, was played by Louise Sparks. Mr. GroSsman's group presented a sketch, Now and Twenty Years Later . The chief feature of this play was the appearance of Mr. Ryan, the principal, as one of the actors. Outfitted in flying togs, he arrived in an air- plane. l35 if The True Blewetts gave the first operetta, The Old Ladies of Lavender Town . The life-like wax works and the old-fashioned costumes gave the play an air of quaintness and charm, as Miss Racy said, befitting the setting in Kate Greenaway's delightful land. At Miss Bakerls aud. session, the stage presented a picturesque appear- ance when Robin Hood and his followers appeared. The audience enjoyed the primitive justice meted out by the dignified Robin. Miss Racy's group dramatized a part of the Odyssey. The stage setting and the dignified Greek actors suggested in a fine manner the spirit of the old classic which the class used as a foundation for their playlet. The Blewett Doers presented many interesting historical characters, and as Warren Shumard said, The people said they were dandy . The Wilson Juniors gave Merry Mount and a refreshing breath of Spring in the Maypole dance. Comedies, fairy plays, pageants galoreg We're sorry there isn't room for any more. Red Letter Day That day in the fall when the Conservation Committee of the Missouri Federation of Women's Clubs visited junior. We felt highly encouraged by the interest that these visitors took in the work of the various departments of our school. Red Letter Day at junior There are many Red Letter Days possible at junior. The one I have in mind is not only possible, but, I believe, very probable, and I predict its com- ing before another year is up. It will be when there are installed at four or six convenient places in the lunch-room two drinking-fountains and two faucetsg when the entrances to the lunch-room itself are widenedg when traffic in front of the serving-counter is regulated by means of a rope on the keep-to-the-right-plan3 and-is this presumptuous? when no teachers ob- struct the passageway to the lunch-room by sitting at the ends of the tables.

The aim of the work in this shop is to increase their general fund of knowledge, giving them a brief insight into how things are done in the regular practices of the day, Projects in wood, sheet metal, soldering, die casting with soft metal, soft metal casting in green sand, and elementary electrical construction are given according to the ability of the students. Such problems as game boards, folding checker boards, boats, blotter pads, submarines. aeroplanes, heliographs, tool boxes, stools, tie holders, water motors, telegraphs-both wire and wireless, pile drivers, repair of leak- ing cooking utensils, sharpening of tools, repair of door-bell circuits, and making of electro-magnets were undertaken. All these projects tie up with the everyday life of the child, or are utilized in small household repair work. In the eighth grade, opportunity is given to elect practical arts as one of their subjects. If it is elected, more advanced work is undertaken, in the manipulation of wood-working tools. More difficult projects of construction are undertaken. In the ninth grade, the boys divide their shop time equally between wood-turning and forge shop practice. The wood-turning students are first given lessons and lectures to acquaint them with the lathe and its parts, the turning tools, and the necessary tool operations and processes. After these have been mastered, many useful and instructive projects are made, according to the ability and the originality of the student. Tool handles, glove and stocking darners, candle sticks, cork-ball bats, gavels, mallets, potato mashers, meat beaters, napkin rings, pedestals, trays, bowls, boxes, lamps, etc., are made. Boys in the forge shops have a new material as their medium to work with. They have several projects: to develop skill with the hammer: man- agement of the fire: control of the air blast: and the proper heating of metals to be worked. Once they have mastered these fundamentals, more difficult problems are undertaken. Andirons, waste paper baskets, umbrella stands, lamps' etc are Constructed' CContir1ued on page 1401 lfif DOMESTIC - ft SCIENC ,,, Home Economics -' NE department which has taken an important place in Junior 475 ' and always will, I suppose, is Home Economics. The girls en- joy this course, and it is good training. ,L Some of the irls have made aprons cookin outhts, under- ,o'x49.,,E,,. .1 un g , g garments, bags, kimonas, dresses, hats, and many other things. The girls are all very much interested in their work, especially those leaving for Soldan. They are busy making dresses, which is one of the re- quirements for getting there. Under Home Economics come three important divisions. These are sewing, cooking, and applied art. As art is discussed elsewhere, I shall only give it mention here. In cooking, which we have once a week for two periods, we do many things and prepare many articles of food. For instance, we di- vided ourselves into groups and elected a hostess, two guests, and a waitress for 3 make-believe luncheon. One group of girls made biscuits, and another group prepared meat. Then the waitresses served the luncheon. This proved a great success. The only difficulty was, the things were so good that the waitresses could not serve them fast enough. We have made and cooked many things among which are bread, cake, cookies, candy, salads, meat, vegetables and cereals. We also learned how to set the table and prepare menus. We will guarantee that any girl who is planning to choose this course will not only enjoy it but also learn a great deal about sewing and cooking. Katherine Geraghty and Betty Sheldon. An Enjoyable Luncheon I fig N N Thursday, April 28, the Home Economics girls of the ninth il lr- 1 ' s D T Q grade prepared and served a luncheon for twelve of the teachers who could come during the Hrst lunch period For the sum of twenty-tive cents the following menu was served: Tomato Boullion Crackers Croquettes Baked Potatoes Peas Biscuits Fruit Salad Spanish bun Coffee Tea The luncheon proved a success and was enjoyed by all who attended. f W . p ,ltr 'ff' 1' 'A wg-e,-rggrfr fy 3 x-Ve 2, s - . gg mm? 3- trffr' ','. 3 jggjgliii-12: lv ' ' 2' 7 u- A l,.!.- J...

When Miss C. was asked what she meant when she told Billy that she wanted to hear him keep quiet, her reply was: Exactly what a music teach- er means when she tells a singing class that she wants to hear them sing a rest. Earnest Ernest Bashford Cto his Social Studies groupj: There isn't much time left now, so we'll just have to hit the high places to-day. Practical Arts tContinued from page 137D Many new group projects were undertaken by the Practical Arts Depart- ment this year, in which quantity production was made use of. Ten large voting booths, each having three voting compartments were constructed and used in the election at the school last November. The school bank was equipped with its cages by the classes in forge workg a large group of hurdles was made for the athletiodepartment. In every case the problem of design, operation and construction fell to the Prac- tical Arts Department. 140 aa. , A -K-A K 5 N r ----.- 'Q.-----.----'-- '--f'Q--.'---'-----' M-Q' ---'--- 1 l 0 2 - 2 5 ub1cam 5 ' 3 0 5 IS Best 5 0 l 1stfRubicam graduates get the best positions E E 2ndeeRubicam graduates average the highest salaries 5 E 3rd-f Rubicam graduates give the best service E 0 0 l l 3 YOU ARE LOSING MONEY 2 l 0 9 l 2 EVERY DAY YOU PUT OFF LEARNING RUBICAM 2 0 l 5 SHORTHAND 2 5 o 5 ENROLL NOW 5 l l 5 ' RUBICAM BUSINESS SCHOOL 5 3 4931-33 Delmar Avenue Grand and Arsenal E l A- ---.-....- .. .......................... ..--..--.. ......... -4 141 0000000000000000000000000 Z E L L E R B ROS.
