AM All The BEACON A ONE PIE-BED The concert had ended and strains of dance music were being carried merrily across the campus of Farland College fexclusively for young womenj, and into the open windows of Glenbank, the sophomore house. How many are in favor of not going to the dance tonight? cried Nan gaily, as she entered Sue's room. Sue looked up in surprise for Nan was usually out for all of the fun that she could find. Good land, Nan! Whatever has come over you. I-. She paused as she caught a twinkle in her visitor's eye. 'Tm all on your side, she ended. Nan put her head out of the door and uttered a shrill whistle. A few minutes later jean came sauntering in. What's up now, Nanny, dear? And you aren't dressed for the dance! she exclaimed in surprise. 'Tm reforming, laughed the visitor. No more dances until Prom. I make the suggestion that you join me. Sue has. 1-Imm! Last dance before Prom anyway, Sue agrees. And Nan of all people! she murmured thoughtfully. All right, she added dubiously. Reveal your alllatusf' If that means what I think-it's this way. Stanroad U is in quarantine. The boys whom we know can't come up for this dance- - Where have I heard that before? sighed jean depreciatingly. Never mind, Jean, that is just the beginning. There isn't much sense in our going to the dance. The truth is that you wouldn't go unless Jack were here, my dear. Except for her heightening color, Jean greeted the remark with icy Silence. Anyway, she continued, 'fthe weather is warm, the water in the lake is not much colder than chilly, and very often people from nearfby houses go in swimming at a short distance from this college. How would anyone know whether we were, or were not, students? We could be back before the dance endsAand incidentally have a good time. But-, began Sue. One minute, interrupted Nan. Tomorrow we have a very dry speaker, the chaplain of Stanroad, by the way, and we'll need sleep tonight to keep awake during chapel. Exercise is always conducive to peaceful sleepg so there you are, she ended triumphantly. Convinced, laughed Sue. We'll round up a few more and meet at the boat house in fifteen minutes. A short time later at the appointed place a group of ten met and slipped quietly down to the beach. Finally they stopped and built a fire.

BERKWATER EILEEN E. HAMILTON HELEN E. CHERMAZ THE WINDS Oh winds that blow so wild and free, You are a giant symphonyg The great bare branches of the trees Are harps the giants play with ease. But by the fires cheery glow I watch the flames that come and go, And in the coals I see the spring While o'er the hills the wild birds wing. The flowers bloom so fresh and fair Their perfume sweet is in the air. The water dances in the brook While I just sit and dream and look, Oh grand, sublime, in many keys, The broken chords sound through the trees, The joyous notes now louder grow, Then play, you harps, and blow, winds, blow. -Allen H. Weelock 12061 1928 The BEACON - ii MOON -LOVE The moon in spring is my only love, He taps at my window with long white fingers. On winter nights when he is gone, The memory of his wooing lingers. Then deep in my heart is a tragic thought, My joy is marred by a single thing-- There are so many moonfsick maidens, And somewhere in the world it's spring. --Elizabeth Winspear 007, 1928 BOGKS FORGOTTEN Down on Fourth Avenue, New York, just off Union Square, dusty book' shops line the streets for about three blocks. These ancient nooks are small and unpretentious. In the summer days, when the lazy New York sun is splashing gold upon the sidewalks, thousands of tattered, musty volumes are set out in semiforderly array in long wooden boxes upon saw horses. No one passes without a short glance at least, at those dogfeared books. There is a lure behind a dirty wornfand'torn cover which cannot be escaped even if one 1S across the street. The casual onflooker finds little to please him. The books are mainly concerned with medicine, law, and the sciences, or are two or three year old novels whose bright stars have faded. There are notso many classics as would be expected there, but once in a while one may turn up a volume of Milton, Macaulay, or Bulwer. Sometimes old books are found. I remember finding an essay published in London in the year 1729 for the magnificent price of ifteen cents. Perhaps the prices are the most fascinating attractions in the mart. They range from five cents to fifty on the stands, while within the shops they progress from fifty cents to really large sums of money. One could assemble a library if he had but ten dollars and plenty of time. It is all great fun, even if you do not buy. But here is the point. Threeflourths of those books were written since 1900, and have been entirely forgotten, during this quarter century. Once they were new. One could not have known then by looking at their covers that they were worthless, that they were different in some way from their shelffneighbors. But they were of little value and the relentless verdict of the years has consigned them to this limbo of oblivion. Instead of retaining their youthful appearance and lasting quality, in the library of a learned man, they are tossed ruthlessly into dirty boxes and left to the careless hands and brains of the casual passerfby. A -Reuel Denney 12061 1928 The BEACON MUD Ivlud--dirty, drab, mud- Black mud, slimy mud- Cozing mud, filthy mud. Filthy say you? Say not so, Black it is But filthy, noe- Say you rather of its beauty, Of the sacrifices made To make it. Say you rather of its stillness 'Neath the woodland shades That break it. On the river bed it lies Soft and gripping, Shifting as the brooklets rise, Shifting, slipping. Know you not what lies beneath Exposed to all who care to see? 'Tis the work of God above, Maker, of both you and me. He that made us made the mucl, just as man. He made the lands. Why, then, do you scorn to know it, This,the work of holy hands? Could they hear you, 'neath the Waters, Souls of trees would whisper low, Hearts of flowers would whisper softly, VVhisper gently, Say not so. For, to make its velvet smoothness Fragrant grasses gave their all, And 'tis o'er the dead pine needles That the rippling rivcrs fall. Sturdy oaks their bark have given just to make that ebon black: Deep within this succulent mire Lies the heart of tamarack. Even in this oozing blackness, In this fen so broad, Even in this sticky drabncss, In this mud, is God! John Hagmann Q224j 1928 The BEACON 13 THE SEA, THE SAND, THE SKY The sea wears a smoothly shining skirt of satin, Cool green, and here and there a white foam ruffle, And she swishes it quite softly on wet sand As she trips along the shore. The sand wears dainty fluttering chiffon Of a color warm and golden, which the breeze Ruffles softly as she sits so shyly watching Her more sophisticated neighbor. The sky is cool and smiling, poised quite perfectly. She wraps her light blue cloak around her. She fluffs her summer f urs of billowy whiteness, And preening, glides along on summer breezes. Three lovely ladies, airy, demure, aloof, Beauties of the summer and of all creation, The sea, the sand, the sky. Esther Gibson 0071 1928 COURTESY The majority of high school students are so busy in their scholastic, athf letic, or dramatic development that they sometimes forget the development of that very important characteristic, courtesy. Most pupils think they are courf ttous if they say, Excuse me, when passing in front of a person, or if they perform other simple acts. This idea is all right for a pupil of the lower grades, but when a person has advanced into High School, he must consider courtesy in a broader sense. Courtesy to a high school student should mean considering the rights and privileges of others. If he has this idea, he will not talk when his teacher or someone else is trying to talk, he will not run through the halls knocking people to the right and left of him, nor will he disturb his friends in the study hall. In most cases a pupil does these things not because he wants to be discourteous but because he forgets to be courteous. He for- gets to consider the other person. This lack of consideration has been noticed by the faculty and many girls of our school, in order to remedy this condition, they decided to have courtesy week. This, of course, is a very splendid idea. But why should we wait for such an occasion before we start to be polite? Let us start now to develop this spirit of consideration in Bennett High School, because by its development, Bennett will be a better school and pupils will strengthen their character. -Elmer Tropman f206j 1928 14 The B E A c Q N STREET CAR STUDY Oh, I hate to ride on the street car! It's so tiresome! I heard my neighbor in study hall confide to her friend. I smiled to myself. For to me street car riding is a constant delight. And as for being tiresome, nothing could be tiresome which brings one in contact with so many different types of people. Right now I can picture to myself a typical street car scene. Across from me is a weary mother, who has been burdened all day by her uneasy child and who thinks of that heavenly time ahead, when she shall have a moment of rest from her child. Next to the child, sits somebody's adored grandmother. She evidently has been shopping, for she is laden with the most interesting looking packages. And though very tired, she manages a kind smile for the child, who recognizes in her a genuine lover of children. Beside this woman is another woman who has lived hcr life but has not found, as has her neighbor, the secret of eternal youth in the love of a child. Bitterness and despair are the outstanding characteristics of that deeply furrowed face. Nearby is the woman who will take her place tomorrow. It is the overfdressed, overfscented, overfhaughty, and overfpainted middle aged woman, who having no child nor other home cares, delights in going down-town, to shows, beauty parlors, expensive tea rooms and luxurious department stores. Beside her sits she herself in the making, the young ofhce worker whose entire salary hangs in her extremely upftofthefrninute clothes and who is bored by all creation in general and in particular by the laborer who sits at her side. She shrinks from him because he appears in the clothes of his occupation and carries in his horny hand a tin lunch pail. Farther back in the car sits a young gentleman, correct as regards all details of attire but sadly lacking in a few matters of greater import. For as an old shawled foreign woman with a heavy basket takes a stand near him, lze continues to gaze at the scenery without. Then of course there is the busif ness man who with practised eye scans the sporting and financial pages. In front of him sits a nervous, apologetic little man, who is escorted by his over- sized wife, who reminds him that this is their stop and who openly furnishes her better quarter with the fare. Beside these are to be found the usual col' lection of school children, matrons and gum chewers. This is only a bare outline of the various types of people one meets as he rideson the street car. And the beauty of the whole thing is that the per' sonnel of one's fellow riders is continually changing, giving unlimited opporf tunities to study and enjoy human nature. w -Doris L. Flierl H231 1930 The BEACON 15 SPRING There's a humming and a hustling, And a buoyant, bubbling, bustling, When soft springtime steals afrustling, Like some subtle melody: There's a sense of joyous greeting, Of the world and nature meeting, Springtime voices are entreating, With a pleasing harmony. Sweet spring music softly flutters Through the open window shutters, And the note the skylark utters Echoes faintly through the air, Then, the pussy-willow furring, Golden daffodil afstirring, Snowdrop, Crocus, all afhurrying, Greeting Spring's first sunshine fair. --Lenore Nathan 1223, 1929 THE GLORIOUS ADVENTURE By RICHARD HALLIBURTON Who would not eagerly desire to follow in the footsteps of Ulysses after reading the Glorious Adventure? Richard Halliburton, a young Princeton graduate, decided to retrace the trail of this mythical character after he had read Homer's Odyssey. While on this wandering adventure, he recovered its events and his impressions of the places he visited into a charming book called the Glorious Adventure. I think that I have never read a more fascinating volume of adventurous travel than this. In addition to being written in a most entertaining and absorbing fashion, it contains a wealth of unusual photographs taken at random during the course of the trip. Both the writing and the pictures show clearly the influence of the author's youth. Halliburton swam the Hellespont where the famous Leander of the myth used to swim. He climbed Mount Olympus, the home of the ancient Greek gods, and other difficult mountains. He ran the nineteen mile Marathon over the original course and scaled the walls of the Athenian Acropolis by night. ln other words, he followed, to the end, the fabulous trail of Ulysses, guided only by Homer and his own worn copy of the Odyssey. If you wish to spend some happy hours learning something of historical value as well as being highly entertained, just find a copy of the Glorious Adventure.

Glimpse of the far sea spaces, Mountains that speak with the sky, Valleys with flowers--dark shadowed depths, Eagle on high, Sparrow so nigh.

Depth of the roaring ocean, Height of the limitless starg Great passions that tremble frail mankind- Death near or far, All things that are. -Rhoda Goehle 11231 1930 THE CHILDREN OF DICKENS By Samuel McChord Crothers Charles Scribnefs Sons, 1925 It is hard to believe that anyone, even those who cherish a deep loathing for Dickens' works, could help but chuckle over, and enjoy, the Children of Dickens. The author has given to Dickens' London all the lure and charm of old Bagdad, substituting the queer twisty streets of London, for the narrow winding streets of Bagdad, and replacing the dark, mysterious people in flow' ing robes with the lovable folk of the Dickens stories. Mr. Crothers has divided his book into twentyffour sections. The first is devoted to a brief sketch of Dickens' lifeg the remaining chapters introduce the best loved of the children-joe, the fat boy, Oliver Twist, Pip, Little Nell, David Copperfield, Tiny Tim and all the rest are there. One of the most enjoyable chapters contains the story of small Philip Pirrip, whose most successful attempt at pronouncing his name was Pip Pip lived with his sister, who was twenty years older than he and who had married joe Gargery, the blacksmith. Joe was a big strong, illiterate man, and the friendship which grew between him and Pip was both amusing and iathetic. I The book is charmingly illustrated in color by Jessie Willcox Smith, and frequent quotations from Dickens add greatly to its interest and value. Elizabeth Winspear C1071 1928 'The BEACON 17 DAVID GOES VOYAGING If you want to go adventuring, to see flaming volcanoes, dig for lost treasure, meet pirates, go sea diving n' everything, read David Goes Voyf aging, by David Binny Putnam, a real boy, who lived a fairyftale life aboard the Arcturus Expedition to the Galapagos Islands in the Pacific Ocean, with XVilliam Beebe in command. So many things happened on the voyage that David's father asked him to keep a record of them. Now he has written them in book form and it's just the kind of book that you'll want to read. One of the early incidents of the trip was the visit to the volcano at Albermarle Island. David says the ground was so hot that they had to keep walking and couldn't stop to rest there because of the intense heat. When they went by the island again, two months later, the volcano was spouting in earnest. Molten lava was flowing over the places they had explored. At night the streams looked like bright blood emptying into the steaming sea. David also went sea diving, wearing a helmet which weighed about forty pounds. Down below he saw many brilliant, strange fish darting about the queer ledges and rocks and in the plant life. Sometimes one might see things not quite so harmless, such as octopus, big sting rays, devil fish, or sharks. When these were around, the.shark cage was used, a cage having three stout wire sides through which one could view these fish in safety. The best adventure of all, however, was the pirate party. Vision a starf lit night on the southern seas, bloodthirsty pirates with their wives or sweet' hearts dressed in plundered riches, a captive wild woman, then last David, the birthday boy, resplendent in a pirate costume, with a real cutlass called Fury. And this little David Putnam Was only twelve Y'see, With his mates t' home a'friskin' in the park, Steps out with all his olders, Hunts and fishes' with the best As he sailed with William Beebe in the Ark. f Verse from Song written by Don Dickerman for David's Twelfth Birthday Party., -Isabel F. Whitelock C1211 19 30 SAILOR SANDY Shipwrecked Sailor Sandy strolled sandy stretches sadly. Suddenly Sandy saw six strange savages sailing some stolen ships swiftly shoreward. Stopping short, Sandy, seeking succor, shot six signal shots skyward. Sandy's six signal shot startled sixteen sturdy sailors sleeping soundly several stretches southward. Sandy stood stark still shooting steadily seaward. Soon Sandy's sixteen sturdy sailors saw six severely shot savages strewing scarlet stained surf. Sunset saw seventeen singing, smiling sailors striding safely shipward. -Donald Croll 0241 1929 18 The BEACON BOYS LIKE THIS LOVELL LEADS OFF, By Ralph Henry Barbour. D. Appleton Ei Co. 81.75. By ROD REED Copyrighted 119281 by the Buffalo Evening News Reprinted 'by special permission. Ralph Henry Barbour is seventeen. No doubt he has been a resident of the world for a period a bit longer than that, but he must, nevertheless, be a boy, at least, in spirit, else he would neither know, nor be able to express so well, the sort of a tale which will make the youthful reader's ear deaf to his mother's oft repeated calls to dinner. Daniel Webster Lovell is a tennis player of almost Tildenic ability. He also likes hiking, but the more strenuous major sports, as football, hockey and baseball find him a mildly interested spectator. r He is indifferent to pleas from friends that it is his duty to make himself of some use to his school and opines that rolling in the mud is o. k. for those who enjoy it, but as for him, he is perfectly contented to look on. Even asperf sions that he is yellow fail to move him until,-well, a series of strange coincidences fprearranged by his palsj find him drawn, first to the hockey rink and then to the baseball diamond as an active participant. In the latter he learns some excellent points on batting fwhich the reader may as well absorb if he is interested in becoming a good hitter, and becomes quite proficient as leadfoff man for the nine. The ninth inning of the championship game versus the ancient rival arrives with the score 2 to 1 in favor of said rival, but Mr. Barbour can tell you better than I how Lovell performs. Of course, a home run is hit on the last page of the book but, strange to say, Dan is not the clouter. fConti'nued from page 9j produced a box of marshmallows, and when they had tired of swimming, they roasted them and sang rather softly. The time passed quickly and when they reached the main dorm, the dance was nearly over. There wasn't time to go back to Glenbrook, so everyone stayed in Main. Sue and Nan volunteerd to sleep in the Recreation room, for no one had an available halffbed. They left their bathing suits in Polly Laird's room, and, clad in borrowed clothes, they slipped down to the Wreck Room, as it was called, which was at one end of the main hall. Here, with the aid of coats and sweaters which had been left there, they fixed fairly comfortable beds on the floor. Sue, dear, I have an inspiration, whispered Nan excitedly. The pres' ident of the Student Council, Ruth Mulle, and her cofworker, Kay Dean, have permission to stay in the guest room tonight. Let's fix a piefbed for them. They may as well appreciate their privilege fully. The guest room was actually a suite of rooms at the other end of the hall, where visitors, parents, and occasionally seniors, stayed. The BEACON 19 Sue and Nan entered it quietly and fixed the bed. This consisted of gathering all movable articles from walls and dresser, and carefully concealing them between and under blankets and sheets. They did this very carefully, and when they left, the room appeared as much the same as when they entered, except for a lack of pictures and toilet articles. They returned to their trumped up beds and slept peacefully. A short time later they were awakened by someone stumbling over them Well, of all things exclaimed the voice of Ruth Mulle. They opened their eyes and smiled sleepily. I happened in here for a book I left, she explained. You'd better get out before you're seen in the morning, she warned laughingly as she went Out. She's a good egg, murmured Sue slangily and drowsily. She'll feel like a scrambled one before long, replied Nan. Early the next morning they slipped back to Glenbrook and appeared as usual at the Sophomore table for breakfast. K Continued on page 62 Q MARIA CHAPDELAIN E Would you like to read a book that is different? That is, free from the so called cut and dried formula. If you would, read Maria Chapdelainef' a tale of the Lake St. John Country by Louis Himon. The story itself is truly unusual, telling of Maria's tragic love, of her bitter sorrow, following the death of her mother and the man whom she loves, and of her bewildered hesitancy to take a step which would shape her destiny. The author possesses a most unusual style all his own. His forceful, to the point manner compels the reader's interest from the start. But that is not all-the author has in his style a suggestion of the calm and of the delightful lack of bewildering haste in the impressive woods of northern Canada. In fact it fairly lives with the spirit of the North. The author, too, has caught the placid indifference to excitement of Marie Chapdelaine. The deftly placed humor rescues the book form a too somber aspect as do the vivid descriptions and truly unusual character sketches. But that which is most commendable is the atmosphere of peace and contentment which the author has caught. A suggestion of gloom stalks through an occasional chapter but there is not enough to be repulsive. E So if there is anyone who finds that time is heavy on his hands, I would suggest that he read this delightful book which will prove to be a source of unexpected enjoyment. --Edna Glair 12271 1929. The BEACON ennettss Annual Operetta GIRLS' CAs'r-- Swords and Scissors BOYS' CAST!-HSwUTdS and Scissors e ennett eacon Vol. III SPRING ISSUE No. 3 BENNETT PREPARES FUR DEBATE Students to Judge By Marie Kurtz Bennett will try to regain its laurels in debate Thursday evening, March 29, when it meets Technical and East High Schools in the iinal debates of the season. Bennett and Lafayette, last year's chamf pions, are tied for first place at present. The subject of the spring debate is, Resolved: That Congress provide a com- mission to regulate the mining of coal. Bennett will uphold the affirmative against Technical. This debate will be held in the Bennett auditorium. The Bennett negative team will meet East High at East. Following the usual custom, the spring debates will be held in the evening. An unusual feature of the debate this spring is that it will be judged by high school seniors. Each school will send three judges to each high school against which it does not compete. Bennett will send judges to Hutchinson, Masten, Lafayette, and South Park. The judges at Bennett will consist of three representa- tives from each of those schools. It is expected that having student judges will stimulate further interest in debate. Those competing for positions on the Bennett team are: Loftus Becker, Elmer Tropman, Dorothy Meyer, Charlotte Bax' ter, Lorna Knibb, Helen Gibson, James Sala, Howard Gondree, Robert Mason, Paul Beck, and George Diehl. THREE PLAYS T0 BE PUT IIN Ill ASSEMBLY By George R, Metzger, Jr. During the spring months the Bennett Players will put on several plays in assemf bly. These will be financed from the profits of Peg O' My Heart. On March 5' the tryouts for the plays were held. There were over fifty aspirf ants. The first play will be given as soon as possible after Easter. It will be The Clock Shop, by john Golden, who was the author of Bennett's first production, Tum to the Right. The Clock Shop is a pretty little fantasy. In it the char' acters are clocks. The plot consists of their ambitions and desires, in which they are quite human. The second is Chinese Love, by Clair Kumer, who wrote The Choir Rehearsal, presented in' assembly last year by the Bennett Players. This is a tragedy, and is rather unusual in its development. It conf cerns the execution of a certain Chinese pirate, and his subsequent appearance, as a spirit, to his wife. Its charm lies in the fact that the author does not seem to have written it to expound her peculiar ideas. The Bennett Players may present an- other play, The Mo'nlqey's Paw, in which Cyril Maud recently played the lead. This play, however, is considered almost too dramatic to put on in the assembly. 22 The BEACON SENICII CLASS CHUIISES KNELL AS PRESIDENT By George R, Metzger Raymond Knell, baseball captain, letter- man and honor student, was elected presi- dent of the senior class, and Janet O'Neil, who has been active in dramatics and the Legion of Honor, and who is an honor student, was elected vice-president, in the class elections, held February 16 and 20. Dorothy Garrett was chosen as secre- taryg Elmer Tropman, as treasurerg and Elizabeth Joline and Gordon Davis, as marshalls. Marjorie Gow was made prophet, and George Torge, historian. The three remaining ofhces, those of poet, salutatorian, and valedictorian, are not elective. They will be filled by choice of the cabinet. The first ofhcial act of the senior class this year was to decide against wearing caps and gowns on graduation night. The vote was 256 to 163. SEIBULII PIIUIIUCES MUSICAL SHIIW The Bennett High School glee clubs and orchestra presented the operetta, Swords and Scissors, February 21 and 22 in the school auditorium. This, the an- nual musical play, was under the direc- tion of Mr. Seibold. The school orchestra furnished enjoy- able music for the piece. The choruses, as usual, were excellent. Mr. Seibold has the knack of producing good group music. The outstanding soloists were Marjorie Sullivan, as the Empress, Aileen Bren- nan, as the Maid of Honorg and Donald Dobbins, as the Colonel of Hussars. Truffle, the detective chief, a leading part, was played by Roland Georger. James Sala, as the tailor, Moreau, and Aileen Brennan enacted their roles with distinction. A new system was tried for financing the play. No student tickets were sold, because of the difficulty of keeping ac- counts with so many different managers. fPlease tum to page 23, column 21 BENNETT WINS MICHIGAN CUP City Hockey Champions Bennett won the Michigan Hockey Cup for 1927-28 with six victories, no losses, and with but two goals scored against them. The Demon Captain Puls and Diehl were veritable Flying Dutchmen, and scored many of Bennett's points. Brugnone, Irv Puls and Warren, our steadfast goalie, were star players who con- tributed rnuch to Bennett's victory. It is our Hrst Buffalo Interscholastic Cup-may we win again next year!!! ' This year Bennett had a good chance to show the wizard team she developed last year, but could not use them because of the thaws which constantly disrupted the schedule. This year the team played with perfect skill and breath-taking speed all through the season, whirling all oppon' ents off their feet. It was an exciting race whose climax came when we played Technical on February 12. The contest was extremely close from the start. At the toss-up Gord Puls captured the puck and with a few graceful motions slapped it into the cage for our first goal. After a titanic struggle, Bennett emerged victor at a score of 3-2. Gibbons at East By Charles Boyer Mr. Gibbons spoke February 10 at the Lincoln Day program of East High School. This was the result of a promise exacted by Principal Costello that Mr. Gibbons would be one of the first speakers at his school. Altho it is not the custom at East to have the whole school attend the assem- blies, on this occasion all turned out. Usually the upper classmen only are privileged to attend the exercises, while the lower classmen remain in their home- rooms and listen to the program as broad- cast from a microphone on the stage. Courtesy, said Mr. Gibbons, was outstanding, and shown by the fact that in the crowded auditorium no girl was forced to stand, altho many boys were forced to give up their seats. The B EACON 23 EXPECT IMPRUMPTU SPEAKING BUIITEST By Rfeuel N. Denney Soon after the Easter vacation, Mr. Stamp, teacher of Public Speaking and Dramatics Director, expects to conduct what is known as an impromptu speaking contest, an event as yet untried at Bennett. Mr. Stamp got the idea from a Masten contest which he attended as a judge. The plan of procedure is somewhat as follows: A week before the contest a general subject will be announced, with several sub'topics. The contestants will prepare themselves on the whole subject. On the morning of the contest, onefhalf hour before it starts ,a dehnite subfdivi' sion of the main topic will be assigned each speaker. During the time before the start, each speaker will prepare himself to speak on his particular subtopic. Mr. Stamp enjoyed the contest that he witnessed at Masten and is anxious to see whether Bennett students can do as well. Puls Tried on Larceny Charge By Richard Griffin A mock trial was the subject of the as' sembly put on by the Legion of Honor, March 9. Gordon Puls was accused by Gordon Davis of stealing the part of jerry in Peg O' My Heart. The learned judge was impersonated by George Torge. The able counsel for the plaintiff was George Diehl in his father's frock coat, while janet O'Neil, garbed in Miss Carpentefs B. S. gown, confuted the testimony of the prosecution. The case was a close one, and the final decision rested on the exhibition given by each of the principal's to prove who had the greater acting ability. Puls' bathtub scene was the nrst. Davis retaliated with a dramatic recitation about the football game in Saint Peter's yard. However, the judge announced a suspended sentence in favor of no one especially. The credit for the presentation of this theatrical effort is due Miss Ford, who in person superintended the direction, the costuming, lighting effects, stage setting. ATHLETE'S BMIUIIET IIUMING IIEXT MIIIITH By George R. Metzger, Jr. The annual Lettermen's Banquet take place this year during the latter part of April. It will be held under the aus- pices of the Bennett Hi Y club, in the school cafeteria. Last year's banquet was so great a suc- the will cess that it was arranged to make yearly banquets a permanent school aifair. The idea originated with the Hi Y, and last year was financed by the club. This year and hereafter, the school will assume the expenses. All who received major letters in any sport are the guests. The male faculty is invited because of the work they do on athletic assignments. The men teachers are asked to serve certain times at athletic events held in the school. The Hi Y club will be there as hosts and committee on arrangements. The chairman of the committee in charge is George Metzger. Assisting him are Jack Firman, Charles Goodsole, Bruce MacArthur, and Howard Wright. The exact date of the banquet will be decided when it is known who are to receive letters in baseball and tennis, the latest sports of the year. It is expected that the waitresses will be chosen from among the senior girls and not for waitress' ability alone. The speeches at the banquet will be very short. Students will give the greater part few of them. Mr. Rhodes will say a words, as will Mr. Champlin and the several coaches. The main speaker of the evening has not yet been chosen. He will probably be from outside the school. Miss Schaefer, in charge of the cafe- teria, is helping in arranging the menu. Seibold Produces Musical fCo'ntinued from page 221 The sale through the box office of ref servedfseat tickets only was not satisfacf tory. Many students, not receiving a strong stimulus to buy tickets, failed to support the opera. Charles McCarthy was business man- ager, with Horton Stickle as his assistant. George Metzger was Head Usher. 24 The BEACON Stewart, 118, Wins Ticket Prize By Arthur D. Hawkins In the ticketfsale contest conducted for Peg O' My Heart, a sophomore home room, 118, came first, having sold eighty' four dollars' worth of tickets. The home room manager, Richard Stewart, won the individual Hrst prize by selling eighty' three out of his room's total of eighty- four dollars' worth. In assembly, February 29, Mr. Stamp presented the winning room with a pic- tureg its teacher, Miss Schelbach, with a theater ticketg and its aggressive manager, with five dollars and a theater ticket. Arthur Graham, of room 222, won the second prize of three dollars. Hudson Johnson, of 220, received one dollar for selling the third greatest amount of tickets. Peg O' My Heart was a hnancial sucf cess due to the fact that great interest was shown in selling the tickets. Much credit must be given to Charles Goodsole, business manager, and to his assistant, Charles McCarthy. The total receipts were over 52,300 of which about a thousf and went for expenses. Six hundred was presented to the school fund. The re' mainder will be spent to put on several plays in assembly during the spring months. Humorous Contest For First Time By Arthur D. Hawkins In the hrst humorous declamation conf test conducted at Bennett, the vote of the judges gave the first prize of live dollars to Jeanne Pilkey, second place to Eleanor Smith, and third to John Nolan, Jr. The contest was Mr. Rhodes' idea. 'ilt was intended to be a change from the usual serious declamation, and to give the more frivolousfminded students a chance to express themselves. This contest in all probability, will be repeated next year. Mr. Stamp hopes that more students will come out for the affair next year. If a greater number of boys are in the contest, the school will offer two prizes, one for the best boy, and one for the best girl. The winning declamation was given by Miss Pilkey with great histronic ability, Her First Baseball Game. The piece by Eleanor Smith deserves some comment. It was Curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight, the old favorite. The interest of this selection lay in the fact that Miss Smith burlesqued the oldftime elocutionist in her manner of delivering it. She produced a laughable effect by over-emphasizing the dramatic gestures which habitually accom' pany it. The winner of the third place gave Levinsky at the Wedding, in Jew- ish dialect. Other contestants were Jane Besemer, Elsa Buerk, Stanley Fisher, Sunshine Ken- nedy, Bennett Keyser, Marjorie Swift, and Bernice Washington. Proof that all the selections were well given was given by the audience, which was very visibly inter' csted in the whole contest. F. K Campaign Aids 350 By George R. Metzger, Jr. Three hundred Buffalo high school boys enrolled in the recent Y. M. C. A. Find Yourself campaign. These were mostly upper classmen of Bennett, Hutchinson, Lafayette, and Technical. This campaign was one of the many ways in which the Y. M. C. A. organizaf tion seeks to serve the youth of country. In this enterprise, the upper classmen of the various high schools were given the opportunity of finding out for what life work they were suited, and of mapping out a course, with the help of experts, to attain their goal. Every boy who enrolled Hlled out a questionnaire covering all his intellectual, moral, physical, and spiritual interests. According to his preference, each was given an interview with a successful Buf- falonian. This was followed with a check' up interview with the Boys' Division secretary of the central Y. M. C. A. Three hundred boys enrolled and had The BEACON 2 256 interviews with 125' men. The num' ber of these men experts is constantly increasing. Among the wellfknown igures who lent themselves to this important work were: President Keyes of the Curtiss Airplane Corporation, Lieutenant Rowe of the Buff falo Airport, Dr. Koch of the personnel bureau of the Buffalo Medical School, Managing Editor Kirchhoifer of the Eve' ning News, and Chief Engineer Cushing of the Builalo General Electric Company. Many others, doctors, lawyers, contractors, engineers, ministers, and men engaged in all types of business gave their services. It was interesting to note that aviation led the list of desired vocations for later life, showing a strong Lindbergh influence. Law, medicine, and civil, electrical, and chemical engineering came next. In each high school where the campaign was put on, the Hi Y Club cofoperated in arousing interest and in getting out the boys, HUIIUR RIILL As the honor roll in this issue was late copy, the Beacon was unable to find or correct any errors which appear. The lists are printed exactly as sent into the oflice, without subsequent additions or cor' rections. 207 Charles Goodsole Candace Dollman Reta Wilcox Margaret Dorr Catherine Weast Mildred Mangano Mildred Hock Bernadine Wende Beatrice Fyffe Natalie Muench Elizabeth Spencer Janice Becker Charlotte Dugra Evy Ots Virginia Waldron Ethelyn Barnes Elizabeth J oline Gertrude Maischoss Harriet Pearson Alice Zella Cynthia Banks Jane Heath Josephine Whitney Louise Lane Irene Newton Janet 0'Neil Frances Nye Florence Histed Eth'el Huber Mary Brown Freda Gladner Lucile Aitken Marion Schwartz Dorothea Townsend Emma Reed 206 Paul Beck Raymond Knell Roswell Gardner Richard Grimn Arthur Goldberg Donald Dole Norman Miller Calder Gibson Bennie Mecklin Elmer Tropman George Metzger Rodney Reed Gordon Lohman Gordon ,Puls Loftus Becker Frederick Neuschel Harry Frank Kelvin Ferber Clark Suor Jack Murray John Andrews Samuel Erenstoft Byron Doll William Proffitt Charles Lyman Elmer Lewis Leslie Reid Roy Ziemer Edward Kreinheder Bennett Berkhausen 323 Lillian A.

The Mathematics Department of Bennett High School is endeavoring to form a Slide Rule Club. Mr. Maddock, formerly of the Modern Language Department, has left for Columbia University, where he will study before leaving for South Amer' ica to teach in an American mission school. Miss Pantera has taken Mr. Maddock's place temporarily. A meeting of the High School teachers was held at the Buffalo Conf sistory, March 6, 1928. Miss Rippey of the English Department was elected a member of the program committee. The English, Mathematics, and History Departments of the various High Schools receive special instruction at Hutchinson High School every Thursday from Mr. Rhodes and the heads of the Departments representing other schools. Miss Standart of the English Department will be married during the Easter vacation. Miss Ulbricht of the Physical Education Department left for St. Louis, Missouri, to teach corrective gymnastics in Michael's School for Crippled Children. The Bennett faculty has lost two teachers this term to other cities, where the pay is higher, Miss Roeper to New York City, Miss Ulbricht to St. Louis. We were not able to keep Mr. Maddock, either, who preferred to teach in Argentina. -Bessie E. Comstock f109J 1927' -Dorothy Roth 11271 1930 i 1 1- 'lf - f , , , s. .. f -4 ' l ,ff 5 -A-.

The guests are pitching pennies on the deck of the boat. The farmer from Missouri takes a bite of tobacco and starts the conf versation. MI say, he began, how can Gallop, the football hero, always get through the line without ever being tackled? Even his own friends won't tell him, Antony gravely replied. Marvelous! muttered Lucullus, as he handed Archias three cents Where did you see that? In the DUMBEL, Antony answered. It is published by Sherebrooke High School in the province of Quebec. I'll have to get one, the farmer decided. I like to make wisecracks, you know. You ought to see one, Antony told him. The DUMBEL is an excelf lent magazine, with especially fine humor. The farmer spit some tobacco juice at a fish swimming by and started to sing in a harsh tenor voice, How Dry I Am. Silence reigned until Lucullus broke it by swearing at his luck. It was also evident that he liked the farm' er's song. I am just wild about good singing and poetry like that, Lucullus mutf tered, with tears in his eyes. Then you ought to get the STUDENTS PEN, Archias declared. They have about the best poetry of any school paper I know of. They appreciate talent also. They said that the BENNETT BEACON had the best athletic writefups of any school magazine that they received. THE STUD' ENTS PEN is printed in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. ' After that speech had sunk into his head, Lucullus asked, What hapf pened to your poem The Brave Fireman, Archias? It went to the fire! replied Archias mournfully. Well, you blokes can have your poetry and such, chimed in the farmer, But as for me, I like mystery stories like those in ODDS AND ENDS of Detroit, Michigan.

The 'LKeep Kafeteria Klean Campaign has been continued with the help of inspiring posters which have been placed in the various homeroomsg an improvement in conditions in the cafeteria has been noted. On Monday, February 6, a tea was given in the Model Apartment for the faculty cabinet and the two senior studyroom teachers, Miss Elliott and Mrs. Wilkinson. A discussion was held, during which the members of the faculty gave some very helpful suggestions for future work. Eudice Shapiro rendered some very pleasing selections on the violin, and Mildred Mangano completed the program with two delightful piano selections. Refreshments were served. The tea was declared a success by all. On Friday, March 9, the Legion made its first appearance before the entire student body in a mock trial, which was presented in assembly. It proved quite entertaining and was thoroughly enjoyed. The Legion is always open to suggestions from either the faculty or the students and will attempt to do all in its power to alter any condition that should not exist in such a school as Bennett. kReta E.

Each star and stripe, with colors bright, Reminds us daily-WE MUST DO RIGHT! --Candace Doelman 12071 1928 The BEACON 33 PHILOSOPHIAN LITERARY SOCIETY The Philosophian Literary Society held a very entertaining Valentine party in February. Elizabeth Spencer recited an original Valentine poem and Beatrice Fyffe read a story suitable for the occasion. Georgs Hansen played a number of selections on the piano and the meeting was closed with the dis' tribution of comic Valentines which were designed by the members. Candy hearts added greatly to everyone's enjoyment. On March 2, the subject: Resolved, that to shatter your nation's idols is beneficial, was debated. Reuel Denney and Reta Wilcox defeated Bruce McArthur and Mildred Hock by a score of 2 to 1. The meeting was very enjoyable. At present, preparations are being made for the annual Philosophianf Avesta Zend debate, to be held after the Easter holidays. -Reta E. Wilcox f207j 1928 FRENCH CLUB At one of the meetings of the French Club, Miss Severance gave an inter' esting talk, with slides, on Andorra, a little republic between France and Spain. When the French Club entertained the higher Latin classes, Miss ,lassogne spoke on the Roman Ruins in French North Africa. --Dorothy Roth 11271 1930 THE BENNETT PLAYERS The curtain has risen on the second act of the Bennett Players. As we scan the members in our midst, we find that our vicefpresident, Mary Barrett, has left us to continue her splendid work in the commercial world. Paul Har' ris who exempliiied his ability in Swords and Scissors, has been chosen as our new vicefpresident. The players continue their meetings, made doubly inter' esting by the splendid programs presented by the members of the society. An amusing sketch entitled Courtship Under Difficulties, was enacted by William Sawyer, Lewis Humphrey, and Marie Hanoteau. The Bennett Players wish to welcome the new members into the society, and hope that they will take an active interest in the Bennett Players. --Marie Hanoteau 1207, 1928 NATURE CLUB The Bennett Nature Club is going strong and has several new projects in view. The meetings are now held on Wednesdays in room 116. Several speakers have given interesting and instructive talks, and many more are to be given. The club is about to start a membership drive. If you are at all inter' ested, prepare to join. There are a number of spring hikes planned that will be of help to biologists, either zoologists or botanists.

Studer VicefPresident . . . ..... B. Gray Secretary ......... .........,.......... H . Schaffer Treasurer ............................... F. Hafner The club must be good, for it is proving most attractive to the members. Over twofthirds of the members are now attending the meetings--and-pay' ing dues! A watermark contest was held recently, with F. Hafner the winner and B. Gray second. An auction, held a while ago, proved so successful that anotherwill be attempted shortly. The club's program is mapped out until September 17-WOW! -John Metzger 024, 1929 CHESS CLUB The Chess Club has been having its regular meetings and is getting in trim for coming contests. The long vacations and February holidays proved rather a hindrance to practice, but all of the members say that the outlook is good. The entire school is hoping that the club will soon have a few more victories to its credit. -john Metzger C2245 1929 AVESTA ZEND LITERARY SOCIETY The Avesta Zend Literary Society has been quite busy of late. On February 29, a debate was held between members of the society on the sub' ject: Resolved, that district railways should have municipal ownership. At a previous meeting, Ruth Grant of 207 and Lorna Knibb of 227 were received into membership, and the new pins for the club were deinitely decided upon. At another meeting, john Nolan, who finished third in the Humorous Speak' ing Contest, gave his selection, which proved a source of enjoyment to all. -Doofthy Roth 41275 1930 GLEE CLUB AND ORCHESTRA Bennett has again witnessed the annual presentation by the music depart' ment. Swords and Scissors proved most entertaining and was the result of arduous work on the part of both the Glee Club and Crchestra. The comedy is reviewed in detail in another section of this issue. It suilices for us to say here that we congratulate all who took part and hope for their continued success. -Reta E. Wilcox 12071 1928 The BEACON 35 BENNETT HI Y CLUB The meetings of the Bennett Hi Y Club have been, during the last month, the scene of many unusual discussions. The topics are numerous, and chosen because of their practical application to student life. The club aided the Y. M. C. A. authorities in the recent Find Your' self Campaign, an effort to help the high school upper classmen decide on their life work. The next event of importance on the club calendar will be the Letter' men's Banquet. This affair was originated by the Hi Y, and liked so well by the school authorities that it is to be an annual activity. However, the Hi Y Club will sponsor it. The membership of the organization is rapidly increasing, the only fly in the club ointment being that several members look askance at the idea of paying dues. -George R. Metzger, Jr. 12061 1928 SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club regrets greatly the departure of Mr. Maddock, one of the faculty advisors, but under the supervision of Miss Cook the meetings have been continued very successfully. In February, a Valentine meeting was held. Valentines with queer Spanish verses were designed and all were extremely amusing. A few Spanish games were played and everyone joined in with enthusiasm. There will be many more enjoyable meetings in the future and those who are eligible should not fail to attend. --Dorothy Roth Q12 7, 19 3 O GERMAN CLUB The Bennett High School German Club, which was organized at the beginning of the school year, has had some very successful meetings. The students have been very responsive in preparing the programs and attending the meetings. They have entered into the playing of German games and the singing of German folkfsongs with great enthusiasm. At the Christmas party they became familiar with t.he German Christmas customs. At the February meeting Miss Westerman showed lantern slides of Germany, portraying fam' ous buildings, natural scenery, and places of literary interest. The club antici' pates many more interesting programs. The officers are as follows: President .......... . . . . . .Arthur Lewis VicefPresident . . .... Madeleine Bell Secretary ..... .... R uth Grampp Treasurer . . . . . . .Jane Besemer 36 The BEACON SCOUT CLUB The Scout Club has had several good meetings this term. Donald Mills, a member, spoke to the club in January about the Adirondacks trip which he enjoyed last summer. Information he gave concerning the region he visited was of great interest to the members. A meeting planning committee has been appointed, consisting of: Philip Le Fevre, Chairman, Arvid Haltman, John Metzger, Donald Mills, LaVerne Shafer. With this committee the club expects to produce some very enter' taining programs. gjohn K. Metzger f224j 1929 GIRL RESERVES The Bennett Girl Reserves are holding their weekly meetings at the Y on Friday afternoons. On February 10, a box supper was held and proved a delight to all. From Friday, February 24, to Sundav. February 26. a con- ference was held at Jamestown. The delegates were: Ellen Hansen, Kathryn Post, Margaret Berkhausen, Isabel Whitelock, Ellen Beckstein, Elizabeth McElvein, and Roberta Gaupp. A most interesting week'end was enioyed. In March, a. humorous declamation contest will take place in the club, for which plans are now being made. -V-Kathryn Fraycr C2071 1928 fConti'r1ued from page 3lj especially hairfraising tales. In fact all the stories, poems, and articles, are entertaining. That's all very well, groaned Archias, but I feel seasick. Are people cver lost in this river? No, returned Mark Antony. They always find them in a day or so. Where are you going, Archias? Oh, my stomach, groaned Archias, rushing to the rail. Why bring that up? snickered the farmer. Here, take this PERRYSCOPEg read the jokes, and you will forget your t1oubles, advised Lucullus. Say, this is some magazine, Archias exclaimed, forgetting his mal cle mer. Did you notice the covers, and especially the material between the covers? It makes me feel better already. Perry High School of Pittsburg ought to be proud of its fine magazine. You are recovered, but I'm broke, the farmer complained. Let's go in the cabin.' I can hardly wait, they cry in unison, and in they go to get out of the direct rays of the BEACON, frlohn A.

There ought to be some' thing of interest. PeggyfLook, Joan, here's some news of the Senior Cabin! Ioan-Ch let me see. They're always doing something. WCICIIQE quite a number of them in the assembly that the Legion of Honor gave several weeks ago? What's the latest news? Peggy-Well, for one thing, they've elected their new student council with Bernadine Wende as chairman and Gertrude Maischoss as secretary. The members are-Louise Appleton, Mary Brown, Margaret Dorr, Carolyn Hauck, Mildred Hock,, Irma jones, Gertrude Maischoss, Frances Nye, Marian Riley, Dorothy Tenney, Bernadine YVende, and Reta Wilcox. You remember that some of them ushered at the girls' assembly some time ago, while Dorothy Tenney led the cheers, Ruth Rohrbacker led the singing, and Reta Wilcox and Mildred Hock also took part. Ioan-just see how many girls were in Swords and Scissors! Tliere's livy Ots, Frances Nye, Ruth Carman, Irina Jones, Mildred Mangano, Martha Minnes and Ethel Huber. They were very well represented, don't you think? Peggy4Did you read about baseball, joan? Now that the basketball season is over, the athletically inclined seamen,A-seawomen, I should say,f are interested in baseball. Ioan-This is a welcome to the girls who have lately come into Cabin 207, expressing the wish that they will enjoy it as much as the girls who have lived there all year. It isn't necessary to read the list of the officers of the Senior Class or mention the number on the honor roll. Peggy-This sounds interesting. Each assembly period on Tuesday and Thursday, two rows present some form of entertainment for the rest of the room.

Prominent among them are Marjorie Sullivan, Aileen Brennan, Margaret Wilson and Dorothy Epke. Politically-At least we stand up for our rights, because a goodly num- ber of the offices in the various school organizations are held by Juniors. Avtistically-Here's where we shine. just look at us and see. The BEACON 39 Athletically--Because of the number of girls who are now occupied with swimming, baseball and hiking, no one can dispute the statement that we are athletic. Intellectually-We shan't forget to mention that our 'taking' ways have devastated the honor pin supply. Scientijically-Katherine Nieman who won second prize in Chemistry, is a Junior Girl. --Jane Miller C2231 1929 B JUNIOR BOYS Junior Home Rooms on the air.

As Marcus Antonius fbetter known as Mark Antonyj would say, I come, in fact I am here, to talk of the class, not to praise it , yet we all feel that we can do considerable boasting because- WE-had more players in the cast of Swords and Scissors than any other class. We-have a goodly portion of our fellows out for school athletics. WE-have an official Home Room Cheer Leader who can make us yell when necessary. fAnd howl, WE---have a real Bennett spirit of cofoperation, hoping that the small minority will soon get in step.

Our Sophomore Squad has been rapidly progressing in Camp Bennett. Several of our recruits have been very prominent in Camp activities. We are especially proud of Genevieve Crotjan who was at the head of three honor rolls last term. In the athletic division, our swimming team is the victor of the camp, having defeated both the upperfclass teams and the Freshman. We are represented on the major basketball teams by Dorothy Reinhart and Mar' garet Bishop. Ruth Butts played an important part in Swords and Scissors, and Dorothy Reynolds and Anna Wolchok also helped to make the produc- tion a success. Representing us in the orchestra are Jean Noragon and Anna Wolchok. You all know Eleanor Smith, who won second place fand howlj in the recent humorous contest. Homeroom 115 finished second in the Peg O'My Heart ticket sale contest, while Louise Edler of that room was fifth in the individual contest. The Sophomores are active in the Girl Reserve Organization, for Kathryn Post is president of the Bennett Club. Our squad gives promise of more success and advancement this term. Sophomore Squad! Break ranks! -Isabel Whitelock 0211 1930 -Esther Lawrence 0231 1930 40 The BEACON SOPHOMORE BOYS As we gaze from our starboard we see the isle of Juniordom floating lazily on the horizon in a dreamy but most majestic fashion. The Sophomore has on board several worthy seamen, among whom are Beaumont, the man who represents our fleet of homefrooms on the swimming tcamg Bagarozzi, the basketfball artist, and Bill Missert, the yawning yeoman. We must mention Bob Miller and Phil Schneckenberger who carried our colors in Swords and Scissors , to say nothing of many noble Philosophians. One of our ships, the S128, proved hcr value to the fleet by capturing the homeroom basketball pennant. With this masterful navigation we expect to harbor our ship at the port of Juniordom in June. fRobert C. Patterson and Fred Alther 024, 1950 FRESHMAN BOYS The freshmen boys have shown scholastic advancement in keeping with their characteristic vigor and ambitious aims. The honor and merit rolls have increased since examinations, and a splendid record was made in january midfyears. The home rooms sports attracted many excellent athletes who should be competing in interscholastic sports very soon. Congratulations are extended to Charles Penfold for his victory in the speaking contest sponsored by the Philosophian Literary Society. -Arthur Callahan f324j 1931 FRESHMAN GIRLS The Freshman plane is still skimming smoothly along, landing only for a moment to tell you some news of its passengers. Now that the captain ball season is over, the thoughts of the Freshman turn to volley ball and there will probably be a keen contest for the interf homefroom championship. This sport is guaranteed as a sure cure for spring fever, so don't fail to come out and see what a fine game volley ball really is. Of course it's needless to mention the number of Freshmen whose names give both quality and quantity to the honor roll. 313 is trying to set a record by diminishing as far as possible the number of people who are tardy and absent. They are succeeding quite well and in this way helping to increase the num' ber of names on the honor roll. just one name has been taken from our passenger list, that of Jane Berk' water.

Streetz The Bennett gladiators of the glittering, glacial glass, have proven to this hemisphere that they know the difference between hockey and that similar sounding game in which John Truant Ofiicer is the opposing team. If you must know, the Orange and Blue puck pushers have won eight consecutive games in the past three years. One in '26g one in '27g and six in this leap year. The championship halffdozen which performed this winter scored twenty- four goals as against two by all oppositiong-and this while coachless and having had but one practice session all year. It was a wise move to eliminate these two facilities, for, had they been added, our hockey team would have been so hot as to melt all the ice, and- Anyway, the youths are to be congratulated. They won decisive vie' tories by fast, steady playingg they took on all comers and licked themg and they set a precedent in Bennett history by winning the first cup. How about a little imitation, you other teams?

This was the first time that Bennett had placed an athletic team against our new rivals, East High. 46 The BEACON This particular encounter was also the Hrst game that the Orange and Blue Hockey team played in their outdoor water sports campaign. Never' theless, the East High pucksters started off in a flash, completely surprising our team of veterans. It did not take our boys long to regain their composure and, after Captain Gordy Puls inserted the first goal, the tide was all in our favor. Acting as pivot man, Puls led his mates in a very effective manner and personf ally accounted for four goals. Little Georgie Diehl, the speedy wingman, aided by Irv Puls, was especially handy on the offensive, slipping two counters past the East High goalie.

Since Puls had shown that the Hutch goal was not impenetrable, Mr. Diehl plowed down the rink with rather disastrous results to the wearers of the Brown and Blue. Another goal! Thus ended the scoring activities for that game. nedy, Cronk. BENNETT up 403 HUTCHINSON G. Puls, c. ........................................ c., Cook I.

' The Puls brothers, together with George Diehl, were the stars of the game. After seven minutes of exciting play, Irv Puls, assisted by George Diehl, dented the meshes with a drive from close range. Bob Puls caught the Lafayf ette goalie napping by a long shot from center ice. In the second period the Lafayette wingmen's desperate raids on the Ben' nett goal were effectively stopped by elhcient defense on the part of Nield, Brugnone, and Sala. Little Red Warren afforded the most spcetacular playing, however, making the most miraculous saves. Once he dropped his stick in a dog fight behind the goal and had to stop a swift shot without the aid of his stick. 48 T he B E A C Summary: BENNETT up roy LAFAYETTE Warren, g. ......... .............. g ., Fox Diehl, r.W. . . .

Bennett 3-Technical 2 February 14 On the holiday for Lincoln's birthday, our hockey representatives decided to celebrate the occasion by presenting us a fitting Valentine in the form of the Michigan hockey cup, defeating Tech by a score of 3 to 2. About 20 seconds after the opening facefoff, Gord Puls evaded the Red defense men and surprised the Tech goalie by a smoking drive, for the first score. The remainder of the first period was scoreless, each team making sevf eral unsuccessful attempts to tally. After ten minutes of second period play, 'Neiler of Tech drilled a hot shot past Warren, thus ringing up the first tally chalked against our boys this season. Gordon Puls, assisted by his brother, Irv, netted another for us two minutes later. Again the score was evened when a. Red puckster slipped the puck into the meshes, climaxing a raid by the Tech forwards. The deciding point was hung up soon after by Georgie Diehl, who netted a screeching drive from out by the boards. The honors of the game were shared equally by the two Puls brothers and Diehl on the offensive, and Warren, Nield and O'Connor on the defen' sive.

The first half of the contest was scoreless, neither team putting up much offensive effort. Ten minutes after the second half started, Capt.

The team is on the up and vp, winning more and more games as the years roll hy. In a few more years v.'e'll be trimming Lafayette and Masten with regularity. Now the season is 50 The BEACON over and we hold two victories each over East High and Hutch, and one over Tech. Mr. Rosenthal's coaching policies seem to be working excellently on this squad, and they show rapid improvement. Captain john Galvin rose to great heights as leader of his team. He was the spirit of each game and he led his teamfmates in scoring. Buck deserves much credit for his good work and we congratulate him for his accomplishments. Bagarozzi, Grossman, Cook, and Mason, are the veterans who worked well on this year's team. The majority of these boys will be back next year to play on the team. Three cheers for the l927f28 basketball team. At Bennett january 27 Bennett 20-Masten 53 After a long rest, Bennett resumcd her basketball activities and was def feated by the favored FosdickfMasten quintet, 5 3 to 20. The score does not look so well, but a game should not be judged merely by the score. The Hill' toppers were a much heavier team and have four stars of former years in their linefup. They were conceded to have the best team in the league and were favored over Lafayette for the cup. Captain Buck Galvin led the scoring from his position as guard, and was ably aided by Julie Mason.

It seems that Bennett is a jinx to Hutch to judge by our record of victories when we meet them. Captain Galvin again was the torchfbearer, leading his team through a very tight scrape where their consistency decided the issue. Although the downtowners were erratic at times, they afforded a splendid exhibition with Ninny Baker, a yearling, threatening to grab the victory right out of the hands of our basketeers.

Bennett was conceded about as much chance as a snowball in a blast furnace, but our boys fooled them all and squelched the big flame. ' Benefited by the experience in the first game with Tech, our team resolved to play an upfandfgoing game and never say die. One of the principles of sport is to take the lead and keep it. With this in mind, Neilson, Galvin and Mason started right off to roll up the score, the quarter ending 14 to 5. In the second period, however, Tech braced up and scored ten points to Bennett's hve, but our boys managed to hold them even in the last half.

The Orange and Blue played a remarkable game but had no show against their opponents. Grossman and Bagarozzi suffered injuries during the game which handicapped our team somewhat.

The last half was played even faster, and South Park scored quite rapidly.

At 106 Armory Bennett 19-Fosdiek-Masien 61 February 21 In our second encounter with the conquerors of Lafayette, it appeared that we were merely bait for Fosdick's frenzy of spectacular basketball. It really was spectacular, for Masten set up a new high scoring record of 61 points. However, this was not as a result of poor playing on the part of the Bennett boys but rather the unusual playing of the Yellow and Blue. Our boys played hard but to little advantage, as Fosdick guarded closely, allowing but few chances for goal. One or two minor incidents marked the game. Buck Galvin was out for a while by virtue of a hard wallop in the head, he soon recovered and the game went on. The other was Grossman's long shot from three-quarters court, which went in without so much as touching the net. All of the team suffered minor cuts and bruises because of the poor condition of the playing floor. BENNETT 1191 FOSDICIQMASTEN 1611 F.G. F.T. T. F,G. F.T.

For the first siv minutes of play there was no scoring. Then Buck inserted the ball in the E4 The BEACON basket with pleasing precision. After that Coach Rosenthal's charges seemed to realize that they were in a basketball game and East's basket was subjected to a severe bombardment. When the smoke of battle cleared away at half time, the score stood Bennett, fourteen, East, two. After that there was nothing much to the game. Wild Bill Grossman thoroughly enjoyed himself, netting the ball no less than six times from the field and otherwise, deporting himself as all good basketball players should.

The score seefsawed back and forth with baskets infrequent and sensational. Hutch led at the half, ten to seven. A great deal depended upon the game, the chance of retaining lirst place in the race for the Williams Cup, emblematic of all around athletic supremacy! Our boys thought over all these things carefully and then went back with blood in their eyes. Mason slipped one from underneath the basket, but a Hutch player re- turned the compliment. Crash! Bang! Boom! Three baskets registered by Galvin, Tony, and Wild Bill. Shortly afterwards Buck parted the net again. Then the Hutch sharpshooting squad got busy with baskets by Baker and Miller, and Meadows knotted up the count. By this time most of the crowd were suffering from an aggravated case of nervous prostration. Then Hutch rang up three more points in rapid sucf ccssion. The score was Hutch 1211 Bennett U81 and three minutes to play. Bagarozzi dropped in a beautiful shot from half court. The noise made by the Bennett supporters almost tore the roof off. Then Buck put in another one. Mr. Grossman, just a wee bit jealous, made three trips down the floor in less than two minutes, each of which terminated in a basket. That's all.

Ar Bennett Bennett 22-South Park 23 March 6 It was a tough game to lose but the boys did their utmost and did them' selves credit in closing the season with the most spectacular game ever played on the Bennett court. The iight began with the opening whistle as our agitated players wished to take advantage of every second of play. Tony Baggs started the scoring with a free throw and soon followed it up with a two pointer. The Sparks retaliated with a pair of baskets but Grossman. made up for them with two beautiful dribblefin shots. The scoring ended at half time in the Red and Black's favor. Baskets flew fast and furious in the second half with Galvin, Cook, and Grossman contributing for our side. The score swayed from 15 all to 17f15 and then 18 all. With about three minutes of play left, South Park dropped in two neat baskets and Bennett added a doublefdecker, making the score in the Southsiders' favor, 22 to 20. At this crucial moment, Schrag of South Park was given a charity throw which he added to the total. About onefhalf minutes to play and the Orange men trying vainly to tie the score. Galvin sunk a two pointer to bring them within one point of the opponents. just as the next play was being started the final whistle blew and the game was over. One point from victory, third place, and five points for the Williams Cup. It was a game fight, but luck was against us. BENNETT 1221 SOUTH PARK QZSJ F.G. F.T. T. F.G. FT. T.

While East was rather badly beaten, thc meet was not devoid of thrills. In the medley, Cast, after having obtained a comfortable lead for the first two lengths, lost it in the breaststroke. He linally won by an inch after a merry battle in the free style. In the relay, too, Bennett won out by the barest of margins. The noise as Forse climbed out of the pool sounded like the Democratic convention in full swing. 58 The BEACON 4Ofyard free style-Won by Rose QB.D, second, Taylor QE.D, third, Ebersole QE.D Time, :22. 100fyard breast stroke-Won by Moslow QB.D, second, Shilling QB.D, third, Rog- ers QE.D.

Hoffman managed to give the Violet and White team a twofyard lead and, try as they would, the Orangefclad team could not close that long stretch of open water. Alpern beat Gilfillan in the breaststroke, but he had to crash a new record to do it. The medley was also a thriller, Munhall, Allen, and Hoifman Hnishing within a touch of each other.

Bennett took every first place and a majority of the runnerfup positions. As the competition was not very keen, our swimmers were not forced to extend themselves: consequently the time for all races was rather slow. After the first few events, it was only a question of how high the score would mount. It went up like a balloon!

Moslow won second place in the medley, finishing a mere touch ahead of Muiihall of Lafayette. Gilfillan took second place in the breast stroke.

However, Ruth waylaid them in the hall and taking them to her room, closed the door and looked at them sternly. The maid reported to me this morning that Dr. Hillson comp'ained that last night he found the articles ordinarily in sight in a bedroom, to be con' cealed in a very queer manner in the bed. I have no doubt that it was a pie- bed. Are you responsible for this reception of one of our most distinguished guests? Nan and Sue, flushed and bewildered, looked at her in amazement. But he wasn't to arrive until this morning, said Sue. Word came last night that he would arrive on the late train. The morning train reaches here at nineftwenty and that is too late for chapel. Kay and I had planned on occupying the guest room but we were forced to change our plans because of that, replied Ruth. We knew that you had planned to, but we didn't hear of the change, said Nan. With Sue's help she soon told Ruth the entire story of the nights escapade and the consequent inspiration. I have already apologized to Dr. Hillsong so I won't report this to the Dean or the Council, but you shall be punished, said Ruth. Nan's heart sank as she paused. Perhaps they would lose campus privif leges! My Senior theme of ten thousand words will be completed by Friday. You two will type it for me and have it ready by the sixteenth. This occur- rence will be kept quiet, but it must not happen again, she admonished sternly. Then she shooed them merrily from her room, and to all appearances they had merely made a friendly visit. A week later, Sue and Nan, carefully locked in Sue's room, worked on the typing of Ruth's theme. Sue sighed as she noted the length of the compo' sition, but, glad to have been let off so easily, said with a yawn, After all, Nan, she is a good egg. ' Yes, replied Nan, matching her chum's slang, but I think that we are the ones who feel scrambled this time. , -Esther A.

Last week, a friend of ours was driving his eightfcylinder car on a highway outside of Lockport when a new Ford started to pass him from the rear. The larger auto immediately increased its speed, and so did the Ford, Mile after mile they raced, but neither car could leave the other be' hind. When they had gone at sixty' five miles an hour for some minutes the road grew rough, and our friend slowed down and pulled up at the curb. The driver of the small ear did likewise, and as he stepped from it our friend saw that he was a farmer. Say, Mister, he asked, do you drive one of these here gearshift auto' mobiles? I do-Why?
