Cleopatra Aurelia sank her pointed little chin into a basket made of two brown palms and pondered o'er the Wonderful Idea, Cand don 't you even dare think those last two words without capitalizing themj. Oh ! Her tense little body quivered delightedly, Won,t it be gr-r-r-rand! What? you ask, What is the question at stake, what will be gr-r-r-rand? Perhaps-hm-maybe -ah! Now I have it! She is contemplating discarding the terrible atrocity she has instead of a name and acquiring a real live one like Betty or Peggy or- Oh! Mercy no, you 're quite mistaken. Cleopatra Aurelia became resigned to her dramatic name fifteen whole minutes ago when-oh! no, I take that back it was fourteen minutes since the Wonderful Idea popped into her flaxen bepig- tailed head. Fourteen minutes! Is that all? Why it seemed to Cleo QI wish she would change' her namej patra, etc., that she had possessed it for years and y- well years anyway. She sat before her dressing table in her miniature bedroom in her favorite Cforbiddenj musing position, namely, heels on the topmost rung of her best ma- hogany chair, elbows on knees, chin in palms and gazed unseeingly at her eager little reflection in the shining mirror. Of course if you must have one tell you what the W. I. is, you must but really-excuse me, dear Reader, but you know you are awfully stupid not to guess. Well-here goes, it is that Cleo, etc., is to be an-QOh! I just can 't say itj an-author! There it 's out and I 'm glad of it. Isn't that the grandest ever? Do you' wonder that the precious topmost rung was being nail-dented most f rightfully ? Cleo, etc., unclasped her brown fingers and picked up the huge penholder which was to receive the honor of recording the maiden efforts of the seething young brain. The steel point was jabbed furiously into the well of ink and she was ready to start when-her imagination swerved around a corner and she beheld herself-famous. This little story Q for she admitted to herself she wouldn't attempt anything very huge right at firstj she was to write would startle the publishers so that they wouldn't be able to reply for a day or so she calculated and that meant she wouldn't get her check until Tuesday. That day was Wednesday. She would send it off the next, it would be two days on the way, the publishers could recuperate over Sunday and then Monday morning send her answer. That wouldn't be so bad. Of course she wouldn't say a word to anybody about it- not a soul should know of her wonderful ability until the story appeared in next week's Post with her name attached. Then wouldn't folks almost die? The excitement wa.s almost too much for a twelve Cgoin' on 135 year old girl to stand alone. If only Mumsey were home! But no such luck. Every time Cleo, etc., felt any special need or desire for her mother, some relative had to get married or die or something and couldn't do either without mother's assist- ance. This way, though, she could surprise Mumsey, too, sovshe took back all her uncharitable thoughts and was quite sorry that the relative died for did it get marriedilj. But that was immaterial, she was glad her mother was away whatever happened to it. 9 THE AEGIS To be sure the publishers would Want her picture to send to people who wrote and admired the story. For did she not send stamps for Mrs. J ohnston's picture every time she bought a new Little Colonel book? She must have some new ones taken. Her old ones didn 't flatter her so very much and every- body said after looking at them, that she resembled her Daddy which Cleo, etc., resented for she wanted to look like Mumsey Cwho was prettyb. But perhaps the old ones would do at a pinch, for her father and mother would have to be told the reason for the sudden desire to be photographed and anyway there wouldnft be time as she decided to send the picture right along with the story to show the publishers she was a regular business woman. Wouldn't they die when they saw her picture? For who could ever believe that a kid with a braid just to the middle of her shoulder-blade Cyou see she had her hair Dutch-cut till just a year beforel could compose anything like that story? She giggled ecstatically and dented the rung deeper. She felt so sorry for her girl friends who were content to remain in obscurity playing jacks and jump- ing rope, poor things! Maybe one of the publishers would be real young and about twenty years hence when she had tired of the limelight and had so much money she simply couldn't count it all, he would ask her to marry him Cas they did in booksj and maybe she'd consent if he asked her about five times a day for a long, long time. But she had lots of time to think of that! She 'd write her story and send that off first. Clo' 'Relial me an' Jim voted fer pancakes fer supper to-night 'n if you don 't hurry up 'n come down you Won't get none 'cause Esther's only gonna-- Cleo, etc., shut out the voice of her young brother by applying a finger to the ear nearest him and picked up the mammoth pen once more. Now the most exciting moment of her whole long life was at hand. She was going to begin her-story! 1 if i i i ll H if 4 If i F The pen remained poised above the expectant paper, the ink on it congealed, slowly the rigid little form lost its tenseness and the brown eyes opened wide with pained surprise. t'Why! gasped Cleopatra Aurelia, I ain't got nothin '--to-say! She caught sight of her amazed little countenance in the glass a11d ac- costed it. What do you know about that? lt was terrible to part with her Wonderful Idea, and 'way off in the dis- tance she spied the remnants of the Youngest Author. Now,' ' she whispered to Cleopatra II., We gotta be a-a-old 1naid.' ' The idea was horrible. Two sympathetic tears appeared and trembled on her lashes. She bent forward to inspect them and suddenly discovered they looked pretty there, and she never had noticed before how long her lashes were. She screwed her eyes up tightly in an effort to produce more tears but they were not forthcoming. Perhaps if she repeated the charm-'fWe gotta be a- the charm remained suspended in midair, an appetizing odor of hot maple syrup and pancakes was wafted to the tilted little nose. Like a flash the Youngest Author faded into thin air, like a thunderbolt the mahogany chair crashed to the floor. Esther! Kids!! Don 't you eat all them pancakes!!! Gee VVhiz!!! Ah, mel 10 THE AEGIS THE SENIOR'S TALE ELEANOR STEWART. Listen my children and you shall hear Of the trials of a Senior so severe We toil from dawn to the setting sun, And then leave half our work undone. Our presence is needed at ev'ry game Be it rain or sunshine 'tis all the same And for ev'ry ticket that goes on sale The Senior is forced to produce the 'ikalef' With manifold cares we are beset One item is lessons we have to get It seems they might save the best 'till last But instead they give us the worst they Udast. American History is enough by itself But those term themes, they 'll ruin our health Still an example must we be, In lessons, in grades, in loyalty. You 've heard 'bout the awful Physics test Till you wish to Pat they 'd give you a rest But take it from me it is no lie The myst'ry to us is how we get by. ' ' The night before the dread exam, We sit up 'till midnight trying to cram And the ghosts of those complicated machines Rise up to haunt us in horrible dreams Awake in the morn still trembling with fright, Fond parents ask how we slept last night, And then we answer them absently And think what fools these mortals be. VVith paper in hand, and a void in our head, VVe watch and we wait and we wish we were d NVe look at the questions with nary a sound, For the perfect vacuum has been found. The work of an Aegis they put in our hand 'Tis published each year by a worthy band Picked by the faculty, so they say, To chronicle doings of every day. 11 !7 ead 1 THE AEGIS You may gather from facts, heretofore stated, The tho 'ts of the class are quite elevated But once in a. while we relax and relent On worldly things our minds are bent Our money We make from the Senior play For the class have debts they 're bound to pay. Of parties and banquets We make quite a feature And everyone goes from Junior to teacher. At last comes the time of great tribulation For those who indulged in procrastination. A parchment all tied up in ribbon of blue Is placed in the hands of the worthy few. Midst glory and honor and great celebration A step is completed in our education The troubles We tho 't were such trials to bear All disappear like the bubbles in air. THE CORAL I-IONEYSUCKLE LUCILE GILLESPIE. In springtime so gentle, fair nature 's bright morn Waked by a warmer climeg Clusters of coral the old porch adorn, Gifts of our bounteous vine. Climbing upward and outward its branches widespread Like wings of a hov'ring bird, The vine robed in verdure-so lately was dead- Is Waked by some magic word. It 's freshening shade, a blanket of coolness, Some care-weary heart may soothe 5 Its sheltering meshes, so snug in their fullness, Glad homes for winged Wanderers prove. Oft a small humming-bird hovering near Sups of the delicate nectar, Which dear mother nature, so eager to cheer Stores in the blossoms to tempt her. Luxuriant mass of coral and green, . Lending grace to all you entwine, Were it mine to be judge, of all I have seen I would name you fair queen of the vine. 12 THE AEGIS THE MYSTERY OF BIG-FOOT LIZ JULIUS EPs'rE1N. In a dingy room, on the upper floor of a rickety tenement house, poorly lighted by a smoked and battered lantern, five ill looking men who bore thc appearances of criminals, lay closely grouped upon the dirty floor. Besides being cut-throats and burglars of the most desperate character, they were ad- dicted to the use of opium. In the corner of the room on an old pile of dirty rags, lay a haggard look- ing woman under the influence of the dope. The most noticeable fact about her, was her extraordinarily large feet which required a size ten shoe. This woman was known to the underworld as Big-foot Liz, a most appropriate name. Get a move on you, Stamps, and fill up the pipe, commanded Black Pete in sharp tones. Black Pete was the leader of the gang and his word was law. He was a slim fellow, about live feet, eleven inches tall, with black hair, a dark skin and deep-set eyes which seemed to have lost their lustre long ago. No one seemed to know his real name for as far as memory could recollect, he was just Black Pete. Stamps, a lad of eighteen, was the novice of the gang, and his treatment at their hands was not the best. He was nicknamed Stamps for the reason that he was licked in almost every fight that he took part in. Big-foot Liz had various duties, chiefly that of preparing their meals. The other men, Dagger Dick, Speck Moss and Pegleg Bugatti, were hard- ened characters as was shown by their actions and appearances. At Black Pete 's command, Stamps hastily filled the opium pipe and it went the rounds of the five criminals. Big-foot Liz begged for a drag of the Weed, but a kick in the ribs by the big foot of Dagger Dick quieted her for the time being. After the pipe had gone the rounds a couple of times, Black Pete said, Well, boys, what shall it be to-night? A clean haul on Dempsey 's, remarked Speck Moss. I've got a good one lined up, said Stamps timidly. A raid on the sand bank, I should judge, remarked Pegleg Bugatti sar- castically. No, replied Stamps pleadingly, Hitis a half a million dollar job if we can get by with it. What are you driving at? demanded Black Pete. Stamps related the following: 'tYou know my dad was an expert combina- tion fitter in a. large safe factory. His only weakness was that he talked in his sleep. Well Peacock's wanted a large vault for their Michigan Avenue store and it just happened to fall to my father to fit that combination. One night I heard my father repeat that combination in his sleep. I have since learned that there is over a half million bucks in sparkling rocks in that vault at the present time. I propose a visit to Peacock 's to-night. But do you still remember the combination? asked Black Pete. I never took any chances of forgetting it, replied Stamps, so I had it tattooed on my arm for future use, whereupon he bared his left arm to his i11- terested comrades. 77 13 THE AEGIS t'We'll visit Peacock's to-night, was the hasty decision of Black Pete. At a quarter past twelve, the five crooks left their room bound for Peacock 's. They arrived on the scene just as the policeman on the beat had left the store after giving it its final inspection for the night. Pegleg Bugatti was stationed as lookout and the rest, after filing a bar from the rear window entered the magnificent store of Peacock. They immediately set to work on the combination, which responded without trouble or hesitation. Once the vault was open it was an easy matter to rid it of its valuable con- tents. Their eyes sparkled with joy as they deposited the precious stones in a bag they carried for the purpose. It took them but a couple of minutes to do their work and they were then ready to quit the place. Before they retreated through the window Black Pete cautiously looked out to see if the coast was clear. It was a lucky hunch, for there beneath the window was a husky cop, shaking Bugatti by the shoulder and trying to make him talk. Stamps drew his revolver and was about to send the cop on an endless journey, when his hand was suddenly gripped by Dagger Dick. You fool, he whispered, don't you know that if you fired that gun, there would be a dozen cops on us in a jiffy? Stamps put the gun in his hip pocket, thankful that he had bee11 taught a lesson. It did not take Black Pete long to decide. With all his strength, he picked up a heavy copy press that was standing near the window, and judging ac- curately, he dropped it on the policeman 's head, splitting it clean to his shoul- dcrs. The victim uttered not a sound but fell lifeless to the ground, before the astonished Bugatti. The four hastily climbed through the window and, with Pegleg, hurried to their rendezvous. Arriving at their dingy room, they at once set to work examining their loot. A sharp clang startled them for a moment, but their fears were soon relieved for it was only the church clock striking two. After all the loot was examined, it was carefully put away under the floor, and the group once more hit the dope pipe. Then Black Pete related to Bugatti the method taken in disposing of the cop. Big-foot Liz listened attentively till the story was finished. She then arose and walked over to the group and begged for a drag of the dope pipe. ' A Go lay down, you hag, commanded Black Pete. You are full of the juice now. But Big-foot Liz craved it and became hysterical. Speck Moss picked up a stool and heaved it at her, striking her in the mouth and knocking several of her teeth out. The blow stunned her for a couple of minutes. They had gone a little too far and had broken the last thread of Liz 's endurance. She quickly arose and started for the door. Where are you going? thundered Black Pete. , I'll stand no more such treatment from you bums, she replied. Hlllll going to snitchf' and with that she opened the door. Black Pete was angry and quickly grasping a hatchet, which was lying close at hand, he heaved it with all his might at Liz. It struck her at the base of the skull, and with a loud shriek. she dropped dead to the floor, the hatchet still sticking in her skull. This scene had no effect on the hardened criminals. They immediately wrapped the body up and started for the lake to dispose of it. 14 THE AEGIS Arriving at the pier, they threw the corpse into the foaming waters of Lake Michigan. That was the last they saw of Big-foot Liz. The body floated down the canal into the Illinois River on its way to the Mississippi, but by the time it reached Peoria, a heavy storm washed it upon the beach at Al Fresco park and it was soon covered up by the sand washed over it by the Waves. Q W 'li ill ll ll' ll if i U If About ten years later, a Bloomington contracting firm was building a pier on the beach of the park and in excavating for the concrete base, the bones of Big-foot Liz were unearthed. The contractor, remembering that the biological department of the Bloom- ington high school was in need of a human skeleton, had the bones scrubbed and mounted and presented them to our school. The skeleton in Mr. Phillips' room can be identified by the hatchet cut in the back of the skull and the upper front teeth missing, due to the blow re- ceived by the stool thrown at her. Few students who are called upon to point out the bones of the human anat- omy, realize that they stand before the bones of Big-foot Liz. As one sits and looks at her in silence, little does he realize that her cracked skull once contained much knowledge of criminals and their crimes. PLAY THE GAME LUCILE SPALDING.

This is a genuine bear story and was told by an old pioneer, who actually had the experience himself. It was a cold night in J anuary,-how well I re- member it now! The boys were sitting before a roaring fire in a snug little mountain cabin when the old battle scarred native plunged into his favorite theme. He slowly began: The huntin' fever had been pester'n me fer weeks and when the day broke over Black Ridge one New Year's mornin '-way back in the eighties-I jist couldn't restrain my feelins' no longer, so I took my big Win- chester out of the corner, buckled on my hunting knife, called my dog and headed off up Gray's Canyon along Brier Creek. I never seed such a fine day. It wasn't too cold to be disagreeable but jist crisp enough to make a feller step along liv'ly like. The country up 'Gray's Canyon' ain't no ordinary piece o' ground. The scen'ry ain't nothin' to brag on but the briers what grows there is most remark- able. Land o' mighty! yur niver seed such a growth. Why in some places they come clean up to your shoulders. And thick! You niver seed such thick 'uns. I've heard men tell 'bout all the b'ars that have their habitation in this here canyon. Some cal 'late you 'l meet a b'ar ev 'ry mile. I'de always laughed at 'em but the further I went that mornin' the more stock I took in their sayin 's. It sure was a real b'ar country and I was watchin' close. 'II Wasn't exactly surprised when my dog growled and the hair went up on his back. He looked so durn much like a porcupine, that I jist had to chuckle a little, but I remembered and threw a shell into place and waited. Then I hear 'd a rustlin' in the briers and when a bald face grizzly and her cub comes into view I'll have to admit I was jist a little nervous, and a cold chill up my back sent my own hair on end. I sure was serious now and I planned in a hurry. I know 'd thet grizzlys' was hard to kill so I decided to wait till the old b'ar was right close and then I'd have a dead sure aim and the soft nose bullet would do the work. The cub didn 't bother me much, I know 'd I could tend ta' him all right if I could jist git his mammy out 0' the way. When the old b'ar spied us, she growls kind o' vicious like and makes a bee line fer us at a right smart pace. I had a bead on a little spot between her eyes, she warn't mor'n three yards away now, I pulled the trigger but the b'ar niver stopped. It seems queer but that there gun niver went off. I was jist a throwin' a'nother shell into place, but it warn't no use. The old b'ar was upon me now and madder than a hornet. VVith one awful sweep of her mighty paw, she knocked that gun clean out of my hands, as if I 'de been a baby, and sent it a sailin'. I he'rd it light over in the brambles but there wasn't no use tryin' to git it, the briers was too thick. 'Before that b'ar had time to think, I had my long knife in my hand and was ready to do battle. If it hadn't been fer my dog I'de a had two b'ars to fight instead a' one. As it was the little rascal pil 'd on that cub jist as if he'd been a real dog, and kept him occupied, that was all what was nec'ary. The big grizzly was ravin' mad now and looked at me out them red eyes 0' her'n jist like a lunatic might look at you when he's got his hands on your throat. I 16 THE AEGIS realized it warn't no kids, game I had to play so I went at it kind 0' careful like. The old b'ar and I went round and round in a circle. She stood up on her hind feet and fought jist like a man, usin' them mighty paws of her 'n bet- ter 'n I ever seed any man use his'n. We came closer, she struck a blow that would 0' knocked my head off, but I ducked and at the same time sent my knife into her hairy side. It didn 't hurt her, only made her roar and lose her head. She struck awful blows right and left, I tried to back up, but the briers Wouldn'T let meg I had to fight. I pulled myself together and slashed at her big neck but I couldn't strike no vital spot. Once she gave me a glancing blow on the head, that nigh knocked me silly. The blood began to flow down my face and I know fd I'de been ript. I got desperate now and I most lost my bearin's. I stuck my knife into her throat and when I heer'd a gurglin' I know ld I'd found a spot, at last. The old b'ar must a know 'd it too. She went clean wild and no matter how I tried, I couldn't dodge her paws. My shirt was a mess of ribbons and the muscles on my arms and chest was pealed off like so much bark. After a'nother awful struggle, I drove my knife a'ging I don 't know where but she grunted and groaned. At the same time, she ript me across the face and the blood ran in my eyes so as I cou1dn't hardly see. Things got blurred and I mighty nigh fell. My knees knocked together and I was feelin' sick. I know 'd I couldn't last much longer. I stabbed once more, the grizzly fell with a roar and I toppled over,- senseless. 1 When I opened my eyes the sun was low and my little dog was a liekin' my face and wimperin' kind o' mournful like. I wondered where I was but when I looked at that dead b'ar, it all come to me as clear as day. I tried to get up but I didn 't have the nerve, I must a gone agin fer when I woke it was dark. The dog was still earryin' on, lickin' my battered face and makin' an awful stew. I was jist a little stronger this time and I managed to crawl a few yards. My left arm was limp and when I breathed my sides burned. I knoW'd I'de busted some ribs. What 's more I know 'd I had to get home some way 'cause it was set 'in in cold and stayin' out all night meant freezin' sure. I pulled myself together and crawled kind 0' slow fer a considerable ways. All the time that dog 0' mine ran round me, howlin' and barkin' like mad, the little varmint even tugged at my tattered shirt until he ript it clean off 0' my back. He sure was anxious to git me home. If it hadn't a been fer him, I might not be a tellin' this story to-night. Well, I kept a goin' but I was gettin' weaker all the time, and I was 'bout three-quarters 0' a mile from home. I couldnit go no further, I was all tuckered out. - I never knowed nothin' 'till the next mornin ', when I woke in cabin. My arms was tied to a stick an plastered round with some kind 0' white-wash. My head, arms, and chest was wrapt up so I couldn't move right ner left. The little dog was on the bed beside me, and land how he was chewed up. Why he looked like a mess o' sausage. It pears he left me and ran home and fetched the cook. I don 't see how he ever done it, but he sure was a wise little critter. Now 'bout that cub, I'm not certain but the dog must o' killed him or scared him off. I got on my feet agin' in a week or so, and I'm all together now, but no man in this here country can show the scars what I can. I 17 THE AEGIS He concluded his story by showing us the marks of the blows which We examined carefully. He even went into detail and retold part of his story when we commented on a scar of extraordinary size. It has always bee11 a wonder to me that he ever lived, but when he told his story that night he was perfectly well and as strong as ever. THAT 'S BASKET-BALL ERNEST MILLER. The players come upon the floor, Each team with heroes one or more. They step around so proud and gay, Tossing baskets from every way And practice the art of basketry, Till the whistle blows for the big melee, The boys are off, they begin to mix, Till the score now stands just six to six. Bones are cracked, muscles strained, Some are winded, others maimed. The game is going with rush and vim, You smash and jump all over them. Then, while a ball you strive to hold, Some unseen foeman strikes you cold Now the Ref with one shrill blast May,- perhaps, -take him to task. The battle rages here and there, Each player striving with utmost care To place the ball right in the net, A task quite tedious you may bet. It lights on the basket, then off it careens Amid the shouts of the basket-ball fiends. The score now stands bare nine to nine, One basket sure would look right fine. A foul is called, the throw is muffed, Both sides are looking slightly Hruffed. The girls are begging for more scores, The boys are rocking all three floors. We have a chance, we have the ball, One starts to throw and is seen to fall. The timer with lordly grace and ease Is holding the pistol on his knees. 18 THE AEGIS The crowd now looks to her heroes slick To cage the ball and turn the trick. A new man enters into the fray, He is a sub, the people say. He grabs the ball by rare mistake, And with a rubeish awkward rake Deposits the pill well in the rimg A shot is heard amid the scream The work is done, the game is ours The landed sub, above all, towers. But where are the heroes so bold and gay? I think they have slipped out the back doorway THE TRAGEDY OF IMA BUM ONE WHO KNOWS. I. She 's a thin little thing, white and glum A11d her name is simply dingey -Ima Bum All her clothes are most untidy And she doesn't look a 1idy But she's famed both far and widely As the chewer of the largest wad of gum. II. Once she chewed ten sticks at one time Cracked it, whirled it, twirled it, made it climb. She would wrap it round her arm Like the snakes the charmers charm. Pull it quickly out of harm In this noble art taught many-for a dime! III. William Wallis i11 assembly said one day, Kids, you gotta cut it out-get me, hey? Yet Ima chewed in public places Went thru all her gummy paces Added new tricks to her graces Yet of course the end it came-in this way. 19 THE AEGIS IV. Now you see her jaw grew very, very weak Once she dropped it-and the teacher took a peek! Ima Bum do you chew ? ' -Only one thing left to do- Ima did it-grew quite blue ' ' Ooble-goop ! Gooble-oop ! Eeble-geek ! ' ' V. Well, they called the doc and later Papa Bum Yes-she talked-said ' 'Wont you 'Kiss-me, Gum' ! Cried out that the mint spears cut her, Moaned about the Beech-nut Butter, Yucataned her loving mutter, I Died I-her last word was Yum Yum! WHO WAS THE CRIMINAL? DoRoTHY SHIELDS I. It was a cold blustry day with the thermometer hovering around the zero mark. Everything out of doors was covered with a white blanket of snow, and passers-by held their wraps closely gathered around them so as to protect them- selves from the cutting wind and stinging cold. Poor little Marie rose with ga weary sigh to throw the last few lumps of coal on the slowly dying fire. Heir hands were becoming stiff with the cold. But still she sewed steadily on, trying her best to finish the garment before the owner would call. O, if I could only finish this, perhaps she would be willing to pay in part for the dress I finished yesterday, she thought as she gathered the well-worn shawl around her shivering shoulders. The girl rose again, this time to tuck the little old coat closer around the sleeping form of a little eight year old boy. '4Poor dear, you must have some- thing warm for dinner. I'll make her pay if possible. She brushed the dark curly hair back from the feverish forehead, as the boy slowly raised his eyelids. His eyes were almost glassy as he looked lovingly up into her face. Sis, ainlt there a thing to eat? the boy feebly inquired. UNO dear, but Mrs. Sterling is coming today, she replied as she tried to comfort him. Won 't you get me an orange, Marie? Just a little one, please, that's all you need to get. I'll see, dear. You must turn over now and try to rest some more, she answered, trying to keep the lumps down in her throat. Just then a light tap was heard. Marie stepped quickly to the door and found it to be whom she expected. Mrs. Sterling entered the little attic room 20 THE AEGIS with a haughty air, glanced around and took the only seat she could find, that being just a. box. Are my garments ready? she asked stiffly, when she had adjusted herself. The dress is madame, but I just couldn't get the waist done, Marie politely replied as she held up the plain little house-dress for inspection. And what is your reason for the delay? It looks as though you had plenty of time. But madame, since you will not pay me until I finish the waist, I have to find some way to get food for poor little Bill. Can't you possibly pay a. little on the dress? Just a quarter if you can 't spare more. You see our fuel is gone and there is no food in the house, ' ' she replied, a little surprised at her own bold- ness. I'll take the dress and come back tomorrow for the waist, the young society woman remarked, ignoring the plea made by the poor starving girl. Marie obediently wrapped the dress in a neat bundle and handed it to the woman. Remember, my lady, tomorrow and not the next day, Mrs. Sterling called back as she left the room. Poor Marie! She stood gazing at the closed door as if rooted to the iioor. She was shivering from the cold and faint from hunger and abscntly she let the waist drop to her feet. Stooping over to pick it up, she glanced at little Bill. HHe shall have his orange, she cried and drawing the shawl over her head started down the rickety stairs out into the street. II. The snow had ceased falling, but a high wind had arisen, sending the snow in great whirls and drifts along the street. But on she trudged, not minding the cold, thinking only of the errand she was on. O, if Mr. Brown will only take credit just this once. Bill must have the orange. Dear boy, he is so patient. These thoughts were running rapidly through her mind as she came to the door of the little grocery. Marie entered the little room, the warmth from the fire making her whole body tingle. Mr. Brown came in from the back part of the store. He wore a dirty white apron which nearly covered his entire body. A dark, disgusted frown appeared on his face when he saw that his customer was only Marie. 'tAnd what will you have? he stormed at the shivering girl. Please, Mr. Brown, would you be willing to give me an orange on credit. I can pay you tomorrow? she urged in a tremulous voice. Give you an orange? Child, what do you think I am, a charity worker? No sir, I do not ask you to give it to me. My poor little brother is sick with fever and begs for just a little one. I have no money in the house today, but I shall have some tomorrow, she pleaded. How can I tell you 'll pay? Anyway, I haven 't any time to fool with you now, the proprietor snapped out as he turned abruptly around and walked to the back of the store. Again Marie was left staring in great bewilderment. Slowly out of the door she walked into the crowded street. The wind seemed colder to her as she left thc stuffy room. She made her way wearily among the crowd. A clock 21 THE AEGIS nearby struck the noon hour and the streets were thronged with people who were hurrying to their dinners. Finally Marie came to the corner where she must turn to go home. The last store was a fruit store and was pretty well crowded. O, what nice ones! Wouldn't little Bill be delighted if I could take him one like these, she said to herself when she spied the big oranges laid in artistic designs in the window. Why can 't I take one? They surely won't miss just one out of this box. I can just go out thru the crowd and no on will know any better. Poor little Bill will be so tickled, she thought, reaching out her little thin hand and quickly takingtwo big oranges under her shawl. I'll take two, for maybe I could help him eat a little, she said, although she had forgotten her own hunger until now. She slid cautiously out into the cold, turning off into the street towards home. Just then she felt a firm grasp on her shoulders and found a large, but friendly policeman at her side. I am sorry, miss, but you must come with me. The man in the store saw you take the fruit and sent me after you. Marie stepped back in surprise. III. Sir, I didn 't mean any wrong. I only took them for my little brother, who is very ill, she explained pleadingly. ' The officer saw by her straight forward look that the poor girl was telling the truth, and pity for her grew in his tender heart. I know you did not mean any Wrong, my child. Come with me. We 'll see What can be done. Later Marie was brought up in court. She told the judge if he doubted her word to call for Mrs. Sterling, her customer, to identify her. The lady was sent for, but did not come for nearly an hour. u Is this your sewing girl, madam 'V' the judge asked, pointing to Marie. Yes sir,' ' replied Mrs. Sterling. And what do you know concerning this incident? Nothing sir, I only called this morning for my sewing which she claimed she had not finished, she answered indifferently. O, sir, I pleaded with her to pay me for the sewing I had finished but she refused me. Poor little Bill begged so for some fruit, and the fuel was gone. I had to do something, the child sobbed. The young society lady, seeing her position, pulled out her purse and handed out a dollar. There's your pay and more too. Remember, my lady, there is to be no more work done for me, she called out as she stalked to the door. Poor Marie! This was her last straw. She sat there as one in a dream throughout the rest of the trial. ,The judge was closing his book when a friendly hand was laid on her shoulder. She turned her head and looked inquiringly into the smiling face of the burly policeman. O, mister, I left little Bill nearly three hours ago. I know he will be nearly frozen now. Won't you let me go and throw my shawl over him? she begged of the officer. Certainly, my child, you are free, he replied cheerily. And I 'll go with you if you don 't mind?' ' 22 THE AEGIS Wiien they entered the room the fire had died out and a damp chilliness filled the air. Little Bill smiled when he heard the door open. Oh, sis, you did bring me the oranges? I knew you Would. This was too much for the policeman. He took the fruit and gave one of the oranges to the boy. Come, my lad, I am going to take you with me. You can help fill little Jimmie 's place. Poor Jim, he 's in Heaven now and will be glad when he sees that I have taken another little fellow and his sister to make his dear mother happy. You 'll go child, won 't you? he asked Marie, as he patted her shoulder in a friendly manner. Not Waiting for her answer, he gathered the little frail body in his strong arms and carried Bill tenderly home with him. Marie hardly realized what had happened, but so warm was the Welcome in the home that opened to her, that all doubts fled, to make way for the happiness of the new life that had begun. A TALE OF TWO CITIES BY LOUIS EPs'1'E1N. It is a young gazabo, And he stoppeth one of three. By thy beadless eyes and shiny nose, Now wherefor stoppest thou me. The Y. M. 's doors are open wide, Andl must hurry ing The time i set, the crowd is met, May 'st hear the deafening din. He holds him with his grimy paw, There was a game, quoth he, Speak quickly for I am: in haste' ' And thus his tale 'gins he. Big was the crowd, and the mob was loudg And merrily began the play, The men were game, and to win great fame, They sought this very day. On this one date, the game was greatg And the score rose wondrous slow. At last 'twas tied, and it stuck beside, And it would no higher go. The crowd was there, and they did cheer But Fate was 'gainst our team. But play they could, and play they would, And they did raise much steam. 2 23 THE AEGIS The ball rose up upon our right- Up from the field he flew, Then down he came, but it was not the same, For Normal more points had two. Then we did fear the end was near, And We were not in trim For even then and still again, The ball would fail to rim. The faithful Hugh got the ball and threw The thing straight through the net. Thanks to his speed, he did the deed, And we hoped for victory yet. Though the Ump said 'twas fair, the Reff didn 't care And he gave us no points at all. Though the protests rained, he still maintained, That Fidd had dribbled the ball. That We did foul, was the Referee 's call, And Sam White was called to throw. Shouts rent the hall as the cursed ball, Into the basket did go. The crowd just roared, the game was hard, For they fought against dread Fate. The Refi' was here, and the Reff was there, And he eyed them with black hate. Defeat was nigh for our good High, Whitesell, Davison, Mann, And Captain Miller fought their best, As noblest players can. Epstein fought, and Miller shot, And so did all the rest, But through the hoop, the ball would not shoot, And there consent to rest. Napoleon met his Waterloo, Bloomington met hers, too. Both parties against Fate were tossed And thus it was that they both lost. Let their praises be the same, Honor to these men of fame, Glory to their noble name. For B. H. S. they played the game. 24 THE AEGIS AUNT JERUSHA'S ROMANCE GLADYS ENLow Land sakes, child! Why on airth do you Want to know why I niver did git married? I jist escaped matrimony by the merest chance i11 the world. i'In my younger days, when the peach trees was a-bloomin', a young man named Seth Scroggin used to call on pa en he was the best natured young feller you ever seed-he'd make hisself so sociable jist like 's ef he was one of the fam- bly.

WHO LAUGI-IS LAST, LAUGI-IS BEST J UUA ALEXANDER Radford Herril, known to his classmates as Rnd, and his room-mate, '4Fitch Henderson, were secretly talking under the stairs. What's the use, he'1l catch on, Fitch was saying scornfully. No, he won't, Rud protested, not unless some one tells him. Hels just been here at school for a month. Freshmen jump at anythingf' The boys were both Sophomores and were anxious to make up for the tricks played on them during the previous year. Oh, well, come on, I'm game, though I don't think it'll work, yielded Fitch. But if you 're going to do it it, hurry up, he added. They lost no time in reaching their room on the second floor of the dormi- tory in the Williamson Academy. For some time they labored, writing, blotting, scratching alld re-writing. At last a neat card was thrust into an envelope, which they sealed and addressed. They crept quietly downstairs, and at the first mail- box, Rud drew the note from his pocket and dropped it in. Each boy uttered a sigh of relief and together they rushed out to the campus to join a ball game. ' 25 THE AEGIS Luncheon was the popular meal with the boys at the Academy, for it was then that their mail was delivered. Then homesick Freshies were cheered by loving words from adoring mamas. Seniors, well weaned from home, were cheered by the prospect of a money-order. So, it was, apparently a happy crowd that eagerly filed into the dining-hall. Among the pupils was Howard Jennings, a solitary lad who seemed rather in awe of his upper classmen, and, indeed, of his Freshmen brothers, as well. While other boys romped and played, he contented himself by watching yearn- ingly from a distant corner. He did not seem to be at all enthusiastic as he came in to lunch on the day following the 'little conspiracy. He expected no mail and always felt a little out of things, when other boys were enjoying theirs. Even his appetite did not make him eager. He had few friends, either in school or out in the world. Now, he was here merely to be out of the way of his society-struck mother. But today, as he carefully seated himself amidst the subdued scramble and clamor of his associates, he noticed an envelope at his plate. Closer glance showed it to have gone only through the local post-master's hands. He did not under- stand, but slipped it into his pocket, for it was at least something to which he might look forward. At the Sophomore table sat two boys who apparently were unusually inter- ested in the Freshman table and it was evident from their half-concealed glances that the center of attraction was Howard. But to their utter disgust he displayed no excitement, did not rip open his note and eagerly devour it, as they had antic- ipated, but calmly ate his meal in silence, as usual. During the noon recess, however, Howard sought a favorite secluded nook in a far corner of the campus and there, with no one to interrupt, he broke the seal. The card read, Professor and Mrs. Henry Darth Williamson request the pleasure of Mr. Howard J ennings' presence at dinner, on Friday, November fifteenth, at seven o'clock. 418 University Avenue. Utter amazement, mingled with joy and fear shone in the boy 's face for a few moments. A dinner party, and for him! Impossible! fTrue-Professor Williamson was his mathematics instructor, and he did seem to favor the lad sometimes. It was addressed to him, had his name in it. Yes-it must be all right-how good he felt already. All this passed through Howard 's mind as he sat gazing steadily at the ground. Behind the bushes, unseen but seeing, crouched two boys. HHe fell for it, all right,' ' excitedly whispered Rod, I told you so.' ' Shut up, he 'll hear you. Come on, let 's go back. It's most time for the bell, ' ' cautioned Fitch. 26 THE AEGIS They crawled away for some distance, then broke out in a mad dash for the gymnasium. Not a word was spoken as they sped along, but at the sight of the first friend, up went a wild shout of glee from the two. ' 'Hey, Davy, come here, called Rud, We've got a good joke to tell you. Needless to say, Davy came running and between gasps and many interrup- tions, the whole story was soon out. Say, that 's good, laughed Davy, Jennings 'll feel like crawling through the hole in a doughnut when he gets out of that. When he goes waltzing in on old Williamson for dinner. Ha! Ha! I can just see him now. His apparent joy brought a crowd of fellows and it was not long until the news of the trick had spread among the older boys. During the jubilations, Daddy Howe, a kind old history professor, chanced to pass, and overheard enough to arouse his suspicion of a trick on Jennings. Awaiting his opportunity, he slipped up to the pensive youth and led him into conversation. The gray- haired man was loved by all students for he was fair, helpful and sympathetic. It was not hard for him to draw out Howard 's confidence and soon the formal note was in his hands. He had been through a Freshman 's life at a preparatory school himself, and understood. Not wishing to shatter the boy 's dream imme- diately, he said nothing, but going back to his work, he began to plan. The event- ful evening was two days off yet, and he knew he could always work on William- son 's sympathies. He had little doubt but that his plan would mature easily. Classes had just been dismissed on the following day when Howard, smiling to himself, went very quietly whistling down the hall. He stopped before one of the many doors and knocked timidly. Hello! a hearty young voice responded. Howard pushed open the door and stepped inside. HWhy, Raymond, he began, I just wondered if you have a-a-white bow-tie I might use this evening. I-Ilm invited to a party and can 't find mine. Sure enough, was the quick reply, for Raymond was aware of what was going on. Want any thing else? I 've got a swell walking-stick you can have if you want it, he added with a swagger. UNO, thanks, I have everything else I need. I'll have to go now and get my French. Good-bye, he said. So-long, called Raymond, but as the other lad closed the door, he said to himself, Poor kid, he 's in deep. Raymond was truly sorry for the boy, in fact, he was the nearest approach to a friend that Jennings possessed among the students. But even so, he could not spoil the fun by giving the secret away. It was exactly 7:02 o'cl0ck that evening when a much dressed up young man stiffly walked up the steps to the VVilliamson door. With just the very tip of his white gloved finger, he pushed the bell. The door was opened by a pleasant look- ing woman. Hat in hand, Howard entered and stood twirling his hat in his hands, feeling and looking much embarrassed. Mn Jennings, I suppose?' ' began Mrs. Williamson, for it was she who met him. We've been expecting you. Just come in here, won't you please, where our other guests are? 27 THE AEGIS Yes'm, thank you. Guess I'm sort of late, he meekly replied. His hostess had pushed aside the portiers and ushered him in. The three professors to whom he recited were seated in the brightly lighted library. How- ard seated himself in a high stiff backed chair and pulled at a button on his coat, nervously wishing that he be unnoticed. The men were undoubtedly discussing matters of which he knew little and he was not bothered. But soon the conversa- tion took a musical turn. By the way, I wish some of you would play the violin, the host said. I have a fine old instrument here, but it has been years since I have used it. Can- not one of you play? I got it out this evening hoping We might have a little con- cert. I 'm rather hungry to hear it.' 7 Sorry, but I'm no musician, one answered. HForgotten all I ever knew, another. But unnoticed, Howard slipped to the floor, tiptoed over to the piano and took down his violin. I will not try to describe the music as the strings responded to his masterful bow, but after two or three measures, the men stopped speaking. The remainder of the evening passed as in a dream. It was several hours before Howard fell asleep, tired, but happy. HHa! Ha! That is a good one on you, Rud. 'tBully for you, Rud, you're a bear at playing jokes. If I couldn't do any better than that I'd stop trying to fool the Freshies, H were a few of the greetings that reached Radford as he came out upon the campus Saturday morning. I-Iuh! what's the matter, anyway? he asked, moving a little more slowly. Look at this paper if you want to know, Davy shouted, grinning sar- castically at Rud. He held up a sheet of a local paper and pointed to a ection in the society news. It read: Professor and Mrs. Williamson very pleasantly enter- tained a few friends at dinner last evening. A most enjoyable feature of the evening was several violin numbers rendered by Mr. Howard Jennings, an accom- plished young musician from Baltimore, who is now a student at the Academy. The boy was stupified for a few seconds. Then a most sheepish grin ap- peared. Well, what do you know about that! he ejaculated. 1exqwvC,ggvg?'vef?H-f'2vj-snfs?Qy5g,?fff vw ' it V e we s Qkyll if 28 T H E A E G I S A SANDWICH SALE SUSAN HAMMITT. fWith Apologies to Walter Scottj The club at morn of Mothers all, Assembled in the High School Hall, And full their tables they had laid With sandwiches that they had made.

It is your solemn duty-and most unusual privilege-to be.as concisely expansive about yourself and your affairs since first entering Bloomington High School, as possible, within the limit of 150 words. Appre- eiative subscribers wait for your finish at the end of the book. For the sake of modest members of the class Cand we trust there are no immodest membersh- those who have not the habit of talking about themselves and hardly know where to begin we append the following questions. No attempt is made to put them in the order of importance. Of course, this is merely suggestive, but if you are able to write sufficiently interestingly about yourself and ignore these questions, it will be entirely proper to do so. 1. Have you ever flunked? 2. If not, why not CN. B. This is very important and we advise no one to omit answering it.j 3. If so, why CGive data such as description, size, material, Where kept, environments, etc.j . 4. Other Achievements: Ideas developed, travel, education, members of teams, clubs, etc. 5. fab Have your tastes changed? Cbj Are you better or worse looking? In short fel Would We know you for the same person that you were when first a Freshman. QThis is momentous but may be dexterously skipped.D 54 I never thrust my nose into other men's porridge THE AEGIS Write us a heart-to-heart letter. All facts will be held in strict confidence till publication. You may announce your Hcases' ' and they will not pass the bar- rier of our respective teeth. But unless you want to raise the price of the book, observe these iron clad Rules 1. Write legibly on one side of the paper only. If your writing is illegible have the letter typewritten or copied by a tidy friend. 2. Write name and address at top of paper. 3. Limit yourselves to 150 words, if your story and the class will not suffer from the brevity. 4. Enclose order slip with payment of 3.75, thereby saving you1'self trouble and our finances from skating precariously near the precipice. Our order to the printer depends on your answer. VERNON WHITESELL. Address: Ned. President Senior Class, Football, '11, '12, '13, '14, CCaptain '13, '14J 5 Basketball, '11, '12, '13, '14, '15, CCaptain '12, '13D 5 Baseball, '12, '13, As President of the Senior Class I take great pleasure and also all the honor that may be given me, by first acting in response to your most urgent requests. I have traveled many times around and over Wilder Field, Y. M. C. A. gym and B. H. S. But my daily route is down McLean St. to Monroe, Monroe to Clinton, and Clinton to Mulberry to the house on the southeast corner. As a result of my travels I have acquired membership in the following: Football, Basketball and Baseball teams, and Married Men's Clubs. Along with these I have acquired the nickname of Swede and the honor of not being a victim to the Hflunking habit. Insincerely, DoRo'rHY BEAN. Address: Campfire Headquarters. Vice-President Senior Class, Dramatic Club, '13, '14, '15, Senior Play. I scarcely know where to begin with the tidal wave of new impressions that has swept over me in the past four years. I have only acquired one of our Pres- ident 's high ideals-never flunked. As to football and basketball-well, I feel all Hballed ' ' up now, rather dramatic, having belonged to the Club several years and acted in the Senior Class Play. Fulilling all requirements of President in case of his absence, I will also say, I am Insincerely, VIVIENNE TEE. Address: CAny tournament in the State with Briek D. 1 Secretary Senior Class, Glee Club, '14, '15, Costume Committee, Play. I first want to obscure your mind by making clear this point. Many people have the impression that I look the same as I did when first a Freshman, but nevertheless, I have collegiate aspirations. During the past year I have been 55 THE AEGIS acting as Secretary to my most distinguished class, and because they think me full of glee, I also belong to that Club. Yours Qtill I become Youngj, IREDELL HARRISON. Address: A corner of B. H. S. conversing with a girl. Treasurer Senior Class, Debating Society, '13, '14, '15, Debating Team, '14, '15, Basketball, '15, Athletic Editor Aegis. Acting as Treasurer, and in strict obedience to your requests, you will find order slip with payment of S .75 from Class of 1915 as we wanted to save our- selves trouble and your finances from skating precariously near the precipice because we have skated there too many times ourselves. But being rather fortu- nate have always escaped either by canvassing the Assembly or by the proceeds from a Sandwich Sale benevolently given us by our dear Mothers. Disrespectfully, ISABEL IVES. Address: Anti-Fat Society. Dramatic Club, '14, '15, My motto is Laugh and grow fat. I always try to see the funny side of everything. One can even perceive Mr. Wallis' smiling face, if he will but notice. And the funny side of a flunk isn't so bad, if you're not in a hurry, 'cause you 'll do the same thing over again. My work in the Dramatic Club was very good but I will let that speak for itself as I have given readings many times before my classmates and was ap- plauded heartily by them. Happily, CHESTER GREENE. ' Address: South Pole of the railing on 2d Floor-Waiting. Debating Society, '14, '15, Debating Team, '14, Your letter of the -teenth at hand and contents denoted. I will try and be as concisely expansive about myself as possible, or in other words-short but sweet. This is a very difficult undertaking because in the first place I 'm not short, but about six feet,-inches, and, in the second place, are - fglance at my namej things ever sweet? Being one of the modest members of our class I hesi- tate to say Whether I am better or worse looking or whether you would know me for the same person that I was when first a Freshman-but my daily prayer has been answered, and I am not as insignificant and little as the Freshies are today. Lovingly, REGINA BROWN. Address: Brush St., Curlville. , Yes! my hair is naturally curly. No! I don 't put it up on hair pins at night. Yes! it 's just as curly when it rains as any other time. No! I don 't comb it at school during the noon hour. Yes! I comb it before I come to school in the morning. Everyone likes my beautiful dark, curly hair and dark eyes. Hoping these statements will suffice, I am, As ever, 56 THE AEGIS HURVEY SEIBEL. Address: The Porch Swing. Debating Society, '13, '14, I now take my pen in hand, with the ink flowing freely from the point of it, upon the stationery before me, and proceed to jot down a few of my stray thoughts. No! fMost solemnlyj. I have never flunked! Never had the desire to join that class, whose motto is sometimes pony. But I enjoyed being a mem- ber of the Debating Society. Although I never cared for publicity during my school life, I never felt so irresistibly drawn into any circle of society, and the spell but grows in its potency with each recurring day. Socially, BERNADINE BUELOW. Address: Peoria, Illinois. Secretary Junior Class, Property Committee, Play. Replying to your inquiry: I have never flunked Cnot after the third trial anywayj 9 I have travelled to Peoria about as many times as to B. H. S. Always a good time, a good time at B. H. S. and a grand time in Peoria. People wonder why the difference-maybe it's because they don't know me ll Maybe it's be- cause I am better lookingll? Which is it? Awaiting your answer, I remain at Mackinaw Junction Chalfway between B- and P-, undecidedj, LYEL1. BARBER. Address: Key St., B. H. S. Your very modest request received. I cannot, of course, allow your Wishes to go unnoticed but it would require a great deal of presumption on my part to give you all the information about myself that you seek. I must say, however, that my musical talent is remarkable, but although I possess this unusual ability I never become pedantic, but am willing to follow without comment the program laid down-say, by Miss Glenn on Assembly morning. I have, with what vanity prompts me to regard as a laudable avoidness, spared you a great deal of dry reading. I thank you for all your appreciation of my music. Cordially, ERNEST MILLER. Address: Buck President Junior Class, Basketball, '13, '14, Football, '12g Orchestra, '13, '14, '15, Business Manager, Play. In reply to your letter I venture to suggest that your proposition is im- posing a painful duty upon me, if expectinga heart-to-heart letter by return mail, for it will be viewed with amusement by people who really understand my situation. I myself have made a patient study of this intricate subject-heart to-heart talks-especially when conversing with teachers. But when I undertook to analyze and dissect this delicate subject I found it hopelessly unfortunate and undoubtedly awkward. So I turned my attention to the basket and the ball, and have progressed quite rapidly. And now after four years of practise I can easily make a Cwastej basket with a wad of gum and get t'balled out occasionally. Hoping this is not too brief I lj I beg to remain, E Cal rnestly, 57 THE AEGIS INA RHODES. Address: Assembly Cnoon hourj. Of course knowing, as I perfectly well do, that you expect me to talk about myself I will not hesitate to say that the cause of my popularity is my cheerful disposition. As to acting, perhaps I had better not say anything along that line lest I appear too egotistical. Cheerfully, JULIUS EPSTEIN. Address: Eppie. Football, '11, '12, '13, '14, Track, '13, '14, Senior PlaygBasket Ball, '14, '15, Now I have pushed, boosted and supported Athletics in High School until I have become quite a speaker appearing in Assembly before my schoolmates, speaking so violently and earnestly to them that their high school spirit begins to rise just as mercury in a thermometer on a hot July day. By the pleased and interested expressions on their faces I sometimes think Oh, how wonderful is the human voice. Boostingly, LOLA SCHULER. Address: Majestic Fri. night fwith Mildredj. Say Kid! let me see! I never was given to talking except to Eva and Ber- nice in German class. Only my loyalty to this unusual graduating class forces me to write this note. As to the questions which you asked me to answer let me say that I sincerely wish to keep the secret of my success in passing within the barrier of my own lips. Solemnly, LIILDRED WOLFE. Address: Majestic Fri. night Ctwith Lolaj. H Somebody is always taking the joy out of life, that expresses my feelings when I heard from you, not that I wasn 't glad to hear from you but I detest to write letters. Therefore, I will in no Way pretend to answer your questions. If I should I might burst forth in slang, which, however, suits me better than flow- ery language. I remain, As ever, LORIN WELCH. Address: Hap, Football, '13. Q At length and at last after I won 't say how many years of hopes deferred, I have accomplished an eventful but supremely delightful thirty-two credit voyage down the Stream of Pleasure. While most felicitously styled Stream of Pleasure, the Grind is at the same time distinctly an avenue of trials but an admirable system of training. Along with my alloted credits, also give me credit for membership to Glee Club, '12, 13. Football, '13, '14. Hap Cpyh, 58 THE AEGIS HELEN KRANZUSCH. Address 1 The ' ' Movies. Since my educational affairs have taken a decided upward turn-relieving me of many awkward situations: I can assure you I am content at the present moment to view these past difficulties Cflunksj with equanimity and look forward to the glorious future awaiting me, as a Movie Star. Wishing myself limitless success, I remain Disrespectfully myself, LEE ALVERSON. Address: Assembly Room, B. H. S. I send you herewith papers covering my early school life, before entering High School, as I do not wish my youthful pranks to be put down in black and white, thus conveniencing my enemies. After these four years of brain torture and many pink blanks, I expect to acquire a diploma. Your youthful aspirant, AIARGUERITE NIEHAUS. Address: Fraulein Niehaus. Vice-President Junior Class: Editor-in-Chief Aegis, Glee Club, '11, '12, '14, '15, Dramatic Club, '14, '15, Senior Play Committee. Replying to your favor of the -th, would say that the name of the gentle- man- Steady, steady, do you think I am going to tell my love affairs? No! But I have an important question I want to ask you: If a dime is ten cents, is Lyle Mills Qmillsj T? During my high school life I have helped and supported, to the best of my ability, all affairs, along all lines, among all the classes. Truly yours, NELLIE GRAY. Address: Nellie not Nelle. Although I will tell you truly You will not see Why I answered for Nelle And he answered for me. Downrightly yours, RAYMOND NELLE. Address: Nelle not Nellie. Debating Society, '13, '14, '15, Debating Team, '15, Q Mr. Pearce called me Nelle, But Nellie replied 'Cause she thought he said Nellie - -and the class nearly died. Uprightly yours, 59 THE AEGIS MARY HENDERSON. Address: Just Mary. , For some reason I cannot explain, I seem to be rather exclusive except to my most intimate friends and as a result of this people do not know of my abil- ity. I always get good grades, though I am seldom seen smiling. I like to be generous and kind to all, the Seniors in Physics class, especially CI will always and willingly explain an experiment if I get it firstj. I am not inquisitive and I don 't think anyone ever saw me angry. So Long, Mary. ROBERT CONDON. Address: Locker 136. Although I am a member of Class of 1915 I have not become very well known. as I have never become acquainted with the Flunkers, Hall Loitcr- ers, Gum Chewers, etc.-all Who seem to know how to sympathize with each other. But I feel honored to graduate with such a remarkable class. With due respect, SIBYL BAILEY. Address: Front Seat, Assembly Room. Dramatic Club, '12, '13, Glee Club, '12, '13, Costume Committee, Play. I was fortunate a few days ago to receive a letter from you, and, as sharp is the Word for me, I shall answer immediately. Nothing, perhaps, can show you better how I have cherished my high school good times, friends and teachers, than this fact-that I was away a year, but missing my cheerful environments, and, as the saying is, a bad penny always comes back,-I returned. Rejoicingly, -V ELMO JONES. Address: Any place where I 'm by myself. Property Committee, Play. I am sorry I cannot do full justice to your questions but, never in all my life, have I ever talked about myself. It makes the sun Qsonj grow red when I dote over my own personal affairs. So I will close quickly and Bashfully, FAY BENTLEY. Address: B. H. S. Halls, cfo Miss Pryor. Humorous Editor Aegis, Dramatic Club, '13, '14, '15. As Hbrevity is the soul of wit, I will be witty and hence brief. I want to testify to the beneficial travels I have taken to that historic and antique office, breaking myself away from my teachers and loved classmates, to hasten on my journey. But, however, I have not spent all my time traveling, neither do I study all the while, because I am always ready for a good time. I made quite a hit when I appeared before the public in The Lady from Oklahoma, it having been my luck to be cast for a strenuous role. I trust this is not too long to be brief. Humorously, 60 THE AEGIS ELEANOR STEWART., Address: Wesleyan Tennis Court fduring Vacationj. Senior Class Play. You will doubtless be astonished to learn of a radical change in my dispo- sition-usually I wait until the last moment to do my duty. As to ilunking- well! -why not, at least twice for experience. My favorite occupation is to re- render poetical translations of Virgil. Studiously, AR1.o NoRToN. Address: 2d door from the N. E. corner, 2d floor B. H .S. cfo Miss Inman. Senior Play, Baseball, '14, The human tides that ebb and flow along through B. H. S. are a never-failing source of interest by reason of their originality. The Senior class is of course, the predominant one, and is generally best represented in the above mentioned room bcause-always in good company. It was only in the last half year that my tal- ent along dramatic lines was discovered. And everyone envied-but admired- my deep voice when I played the part of Miles Standish in Rose 0' Plymouth Town. But I show better talent, and also tact in the way I go to Danvers, and in being always ready when a vacation comes to leave for Danvers, HERMAN GUNN. Address: 2d door from the N. E. corner, 2d floor B. H. S. cfo Miss Inman Cchaperoning Arlol. Dramatic Club, '13, '14, '15. I must first tell you how honored-highly honored-I felt when the honor of chaperon was bestowed upon me. My hours are from 8 :45 to 8:59 Cone min- ute to get to classj and from 1:15 to 1:29. My work is very interesting, but--I am a very modest man and I do not like to be around talkative people ! ?! I have sung many times in person before my classmates, but my highest ambition is that the future generation may hear my mellow Cdon't think I am conceitedj voice bursting forth from a victrola rivaling Caruso. Musically, OLETA OWENS. Address: The right place at the right time. I have only enjoyed two years of my high school career at B. H. S. But I consider myself fortunate in that I have an art of learning things which is envied by all those who come in contact with me. It is impossible for me to radiate my smile into this letter as I should like to do. Lovingly, MARGARET MCINTYRE. Address: Miss Kates' Studio. Dramatic Club, '12, '13, II4, '15, Senior Class Play, Senior Play Committee. t, Really I'm not conceited but then I think I am entitled to that much pleas- ure out of an art which has so entertained others. I have enjoyed being in 61 THE AEGIS Bloomington High School to such an extent that I prolonged my stay in order to be able to finish with the class of 1915. Dramatically, LOREN THoMPsoN Address: B. H. S. Debating Society, '12, '13, '14g Track, '13, '14. Football, '14, Although I did not experience the maltreatment and abuse during the Fresh- men year at B. H. S., I have enjoyed the three years that I have been up here. I have tried to be a model to my underclassmates, whom I hope have benefited there- by. I proved loyal to the Debating Society belonging to that several years, also the Track team. I have Won many friends with my bewitching smile. Hoping this sufficiently explanatory, I remain, Smiling, EVA MCGRAW Address: German class, 1st hour. Since your letter came I have been thinking how to answer it, because I hate to hear people talking about themselves. But-I am rather studious, rather sol- umn, but very agreeable. Incessant study shows up remarkably on my report card until I feel more than paid for my time spent. Primly, NITA HANSON. Address: Locker 427. One feature of Bloomington High School most favorably impresses me, and that is the deep and vital interest all of the Freshies take in the Seniors. But that is the way I was if I can remember back that far! I have spent a delight- ful, never to be forgotten four year course at B. I-I. S., so I will tell you briefly that I get my lessons, then my credits, and last my diploma. Insincerely, JULIA ALEXANDER. Address: The Tennis Court. h Literary Editor Aegis. Fancy yourself at B. H. S. once more strolling down the halls, arm in arm, with no teacher in sight. I would enjoy that almost as well as I do out door sports. I never before realized the pathetic side of an exam until my Senior year when I saw the eager and would-be-wise struggling for those last credits. Luckily I acquired mine rather easily and calmly. Hoping this will reach you in due time, I remain, Smilingly, RACHEL GREEN Address: A certain electric. I have never fiunked nor traveled-but have always worked while there was work to be done, then I find time for a ride now and then. I must be just naturally bright and not bright by profession because I never study except when 62 THE AEGIS it is study time. But following my friends, Wesleyan will probably get me next year. Truly, ROLAND LEHMAN. Address: Commercial Department. I want to tell you that I always get my lessons first and then devote my spare time to the Movies, Basketball game or other kind of entertainment. But I am quite swift with the pencil, having won fifth place in the National O. G. A. contest last year. I would much rather have some one dictate to me, than give me a lecture. I am rather sober but when once aroused I have a very good sense of humor. Studiously, FLORENCE J OHNSON. Address: At Home Cin the afternoonj. ' I was pleased to receive your letter and to know that you are really inter- ested in the Class of 1915. I would only be too glad to answer all of your ques- tions if my time permitted me. But I am working hard with my senior studies and along with them I am working for a teacher 's certificate in elocution, in June. Hoping this clearly explains my reason for not answering all of your ques- tions, I am, Yours truly, WII:L NIEDERMEYER. Address: Red. Football, '14. I was very glad to receive your letter as this is the first time I have had a chance to talk about myself for a long time. I have been a very good little boy since going to High School and quite popular with both the boys and the girls. Although they call me Red, it is not very often that my temper displays itself. Having engaged in athletics I have gained some honor there. Insincerely, RUTH MYERS. ' Address: Question Box. Glee Club, '11, '12, '13, '14, '15. I am more given to asking questions than answering. The one trait of my character which has caused me much embarrassment in class is my unusual amount of curiosity. I have a voice which perhaps some day will rival those occasionally heard on the victrola in assembly. I remain, ' ' A Chattering Cherub. DORIS WELCH. Address: On the Farm. I have been tempted not to answer your letter because your questions were too limited and rather personal. But I will tell I am rather reserved and bash- ful, except with my friends. Although I have not changed much in my physical i 63 THE AEGIS build since I was a Freshman, I have acquired a great deal of knowledge. I like to spend my spare time out of doors-riding in the country when I am at the wheel. Respectfully, FRANCIS MOMURRY. Address: Chub. It is very seldom that I comment upon myself, but I will tell you confident- ially that although I appear somewhat bashful I am quite talkative and I have a keen sense of humor. I do not care for the gay city life but like to be out in the open air. I am always whistling when working out of doors so of course you know I am happy, Cheerfully, DOROTHY HALLETT. Address: cfo President Senior Class. Ask Ned, Swede, or Bub, he knows if I 've ever Hunked, he knows why not, if I haven 't, and why if I have, he knows what I got on my last test, he knows if I'm better or worse looking. When he is around fl' can think of no one and see no one but him. But I hope you will not think that I am selfish and conceited because I am really very agreeable and very charming. Knowingly, JOHN BECKER. Address: Manual Training Department. Dramatic Club, '13, '14, Debating Society, '13, '14, I have never had time to flunk as my other studies took too much of my time, and I would much rather be working a Physics experiment than having a date for the Majestic, or taking her riding in a car. I am rather quiet and happiest when indulging in some work whether rewarded or not by other people. Truly, VICTOR COWDEN. Address: Washington, Ill. Football, '13, '14, Basketball, '14, '15, Assistant Basketball Manager, '15. Don't think me pathetic if I tell you that I have been sad, lonesome, and weary since she went away. CApologies to Shakespearej In sooth, I know now why I am so sad: It wearies me, you say it wearies you, And how I caught it, found it, and came by it, I have already learned, And such a love-sick person, absence makes of me, That I have much to do to know myself. 64 THE AEGIS I have already made arrangements to enter my life work--raising onions in Indiana, Lonely, GOLDA HoLs'rE1N. Address: Talking Machine. Because of my unusual ability in talking I have never flunked because I talk so fast that my teachers never know whether I am right or wrong. Hence, you see their anxiety and embarrassment in asking me to repeat as it looks as if they were not listening, because I know I talk loud enough. Anything you can do to aid me in my over-flow of knowledge will be appreciated. Wisely, A LAWRENCE Fossnmr. Address: Ismaralti cfo Rach, Assistant Business Manager, Play. I have been delayed in getting out the statements with regard to myself, which you require, but with this writing have gotten a few. The delay was all due to the fact that while out riding, Ismaralti Cpet name for the Saxonj be- came Htirefdj and Hspoketdl through the rim for another casing. In view of the fact that a new casing would cover a distance of several miles and relieve us from walking, and also, this letter from further delay, I catered to her wishes and did as commanded. I was well satisfied because We arrived home before dark CI am afraid of the darkj. I trust this will be satisfactory, and beg to remain, With Ismaralti NZD, A RUTH ENGLE. Address: Latin Class. I am an energetic and ambitious student in Latin. Although I have doubt-- less Hunked in class recitations I have never flunked to such a depth as to lose my credit.

I am too much absorbed in social functions to become exceedingly pro- ficient in my studies. I would much rather ride around in a great big automo- bile, than think about American History or Physics. I certainly like those High School parties and dances, and I wouldn't care if I were a Senior for several more years if that were all I had to do. But I try to make the best of everything by smiling, even though the work is hard. My eyes are sometimes mischief mak- ers, but that cannot be helped, its just their way. Coquettishly, EDITH XVARNER.

We were an extraordinary class of Freshmen. Although we were Know Nothings with regard to English and Algebra, we were proud to have such remarkable athletes, good debaters, clever actors, and such a musician Cwitness the next four yearsj. Of course, our Freshman year was one of curiosity and astonish- ment on our part, but with our upper classmates, it was nudging and grinning when we passed. However, after enduring their harsh treatment, sub- mitting to their superiority, and condescending to their wishes, we advanced one step higher, in the course of study, in knowledge, and in class distinction. We were Sophomores. What more could we wish or hope to be. Yes, it is true We sympathized with the Freshies but remembering our cruel abuse we did likewise with them. Our year as Sophs was of little importance as We took no part in the eventful affairs. It was a year of preoccupation, of expecta- tion, of anticipation. As Juniors, we first organized our class, then elected officers: President, Ernest Miller, Vice-President, Marguerite Niehaus, Secretary, Bernadine Bue- low, Treasurer, Franklin Van Petten. We chose orange and black for our class colors. After a time our accustomed eyes began to note the dignified and charm- ing ensemble of the Seniors, and this incidentally aided us in doing justice to our class reputation by preserving order and general tranquility in our Junior Meetings. Was this a year of anticipation or realization? Certainly the Junior-Senior Halloween party and the Junior Banquet in the spring proved to be greater than our anticipations, but the Senior.Dance -there is still a doubt which is the greater, at this moment we cannot realize the situation as it really was. But we must not forget The Mothers' Club who cheerfully took all the responsibility of the Junior Banquet into their hands, and useless to say made it a success. This ended our Junior year. It had meant many good times and we regretted to see it drawing to a close. We began our Senior year by organizing with the following officers: Presi- dent, Vernon Whitesell 3 Vice-President, Dorothy Bean 5 Secretary, Vivienne Tee, Treasurer, Iredell Harrison. This year has been different from all the rest-the fact that we are Seniors has given it an entirely different atmosphere, an atmosphere for Physics experiments, American History tests, or Latin trans- 1ations!?! Yet the important events are not mentioned in this history of the class but are related in detail throughout this Aegis, which is the production of the CLASS OF 1915. THE CLASS PLAY The Senior class chose Rose o' Plymouth Town for their Class Play and it proved a great success. The play is sparkling with witty conversation and amusing situations from start to finish. The desperate Garrett Foster, ruffian from a neighboring colony, starts the ball rolling, by stealing corn from the Plymouth Colony. He then appeals to Rose of Plymouth Town for protection and thus brings upon himself the wrath of Captain' Standish and his household. The household consists of Captain Standish and his wife, Barbara, Aunt Reso- lute, recently from England, a little lady who is looking for a new sensation, 71 THE AEGIS Miriam Littleford, niece of Captain Standish, and Rose De La Noye and brother Phillipi, young people from France. Miriam wishes to win the affections of John Margeson, but is repulsed by him, who is more interested in the pleasing Rose. However, Rose 's interests have been quickly aroused in the adventurous corn thief and she therefore, makes game of Margeson. After the banishment of Garrett Foster from the colony Rose pledges troth to John Margeson out of spite to Garrett, only to regret it on the return of this lover, whose coming saves the colony from the attack of Indians. The duel between the rivals and the events of the night 's fight against the Indians proves Garrett Foster the better man and John Margeson, the coward, who hid in the cellar, so that Garrett Foster claims the kiss and hand which Rose had promised to the better man. The part of Rose with all its vivaeity and quick emotional changes was very well portrayed by Margaret McIntyre, so that the audience felt clearly the charm and strength of the character. Charles Pettus in the part of Garrett did an unusually good piece of acting, showing the bravado of the adventurer and in the third act, great emotional restraint. V Dorothy Bean as Aunt Resolute created a very interesting old lady full of whims and sharp ways, furnishing a large part of the comedy in the play. The characters of Miles Standish and Wife, Barbara, were taken with all the dignity and grace of Puritans, by Arlo Norton and Ruth Rogers. The other romance of the story, that between Miriam and Phillipi, develops slowly at first due to the shyness of the Puritan maid. These two parts played by Eleanor Stewart and Ralph Stewart present a pair of very pleasing and con- vincing youthful lovers. Julius Epstein made an admirable villain in the part of John Margeson, being ever severe, gloomy and lacking in the heroic. This play was of great interest as the parts were all well taken. SAFETY FIRST I. NVhen something goes ting-le-ing-le-ing-le crowds scatter, lockers bang, steps quicken, talk ceases, library fills, drinking fountain becomes popular, voice utters DON'T LOITER, class doors open, pupils saunter to their seats, books open, intelligent looks are feigned, study pretended,-we know the U 15 minutei, bell has rung. II. Lockers are useful as well as ornamental. They unselfishly take up all the useless and unnecessary room in our spacious halls, assist us in dodging and evading our vigilant and observant hall monitors, cause us now and then to miss a class recitation, or perchance a test, thus shortening our toils but lengthening our troubles because we must find that small, irregular piece of iron which is very appropriately called a locker key, and is perhaps at that moment lying secluded in the middle of the floor, or, fastened to the end of a string, cord or 72 THE AEGIS ribbon. dangles unseen from the keyhole of the locker, or peradventure, it is at home hanging from the highest nail behind the kitchen door or lying undisturbed under a collection of ribbons or ties in the N. E. corner of the top dresser drawer. After a persevering search and wearisome research, either at home or school-or maybe both-we find our key. We now wend our way between the rows of lockers until we come to the darkest and smallest space in which a locker could be erected, and supposing this to be ours, with lock in one hand and key' in the other, we first find the keyhole, then, of course, put the key in upside down and try to unlock it. Just before our patience has completely gone we succeed in opening this convenient barrier and with twenty seconds to get to our next class, we dive for our books, pencils, etc. Cletting fall only those things which can roll back under our locker, out of our reachj and at the same time begin closing the door. When the padlock is locked We discover the end of our coat protruding from the inside to the outside, then we see that the door stands ajar-locked but not locked. With a farewell glance and our key left behind we hurry to our class, making the stair steps two at one time, and arrive at the door just as the bell begins to ring. Quiet and undisturbed amidst our sympa- thizing classmates we realize unmistakably that our trials and tribulations will commence again at the close of the hour. III. VVhat is about to happen? It is six minutes till nine, the Assembly Room a scene of suppressed excitement, U15 minute study period ignored, students linger, moving from place to place to escape detection, but keeping their eye on the certain seat lest someone should move in and take possession, minute hand creeps up one minute,-it is now five minutes till nine but Mr. H. does not move, from everywhere come hurried c1'ies, Is there 'sembly? With hopes dis- banded, the overworked students disperse with sighs and groans for they kozou' nothing is going to happen. They had forgotten that Assembly comes but once a week, once a week the least, and once a week the most. HALLOWE 'EN PARTY On the evening of Oct. 31, 191-1, at 8 o'clock in the K, of C. Hall, the Juniors and Seniors assembled in mask for their annual Halloween party. The room was decorated to suit the occasion. Black cats and witches peeped from the corn- stalks while pumpkins and lanterns were used in profusion. Those who did not dance were entertained with games and fortune-telling in the drawing-room, where also was found a keg of cider and a. large tub of apples, which were en- joyed by everyone. One of the features of the evening was the voting contest for the best costume. Ernest Miller, who made a typical coon was presented with the prize by the President of the Junior Class. Having taken oath to open it before his classmates, he did so, and to his consternation and surprise found it to be a little measley apple. The merry-making continued, until the clock tolling the witching hour of twelve brought to a sudden close the gleeful frolic. and sent the sprites of mischief back to their dreary places of abode. 73 THE AEGIS THE SENIOR PARTY S!

But instead, it means beginning-the beginning of new environments, new life, new love and new friendship. Yet we are bound to our old friends by ties which our new acquaint- ances can never offer us, and although Commencement may separate us for a time there will always be a feeling of mutual good-will and affection, whenever and wherever we may meet. It does not matter what profession or vocation we may follow or how wide our paths seem to drift apart, there will come to us the memory of our school day friendships which can never be forgotten.

Bloomington Springfield Bloomington Pekin .... Bloomington ..... Decatur .. Bloomington Urbana . . . Bloomington ..... Peoria Cential Total . . ....... . . A glance at the above scores shows that as to the number of games won the season's work was not a success, but it shows also that we had a team capable at times of playing brilliant football. Crippled at critical moments by the loss of such players as Whitesell, Epstein, Gardner and R. Miller, it was not to be expected that the team Work would be as smooth as might be wished or that vic- tories would be won against the heavier elevens of the larger schools played. The season was successful so far as work, team spirit and adherence to train- ing rules were concerned. The team deserves great credit for its sportsmanlike attitude and perserverance during a season of hard luck. Fred Young was selected as coach for this year's squad. He is a Veteran athlete and has for years held an enviable place in collegiate athletic circles. He filled his position in excellent fashion and throughout the season proved a faith- ful and capable coach. His call for candidates was answered by an unusually large squad composed of ten of last year 's players, and a number of promising aspirants who were trying for the team for the first time. Hard, consistent practice was indulged in and soon the first eleven rounded into shape for its initial contest. This was staged at Wilder Field with Fairbury as the opposing team and victim. The game was won in whirlwind fashion, the final count showing a 28 to 0 victory for our team. Springfield came next and this time Bloomington drew the short end of the score. The first half proved disastrous-the Capital City Warriors rolling up 21 points by a combination of luck and good playing that temporarily bewildered the local aggregation. The second half was a reversal of the first. Bloomington came back strong and played the heavier down state team off their feet, pushing over one touchdown and preventing any score by their opponents. I Pekin followed and was overwhelmed to the tune of 108 to 0. The game showed weakness on the part of the visitors and remarkable strength for the local team. The Decatur eleven was unusually heavy and strong for high school foot- ball. Their superior weight proved too much for the light locals and another defeat was registered against them. Score 12-0. Urbana at Urbana proved an unfortunate proposition. Epstein was injured and forced to leave this game, which weakened greatly the already crippled team. This was hard luck enough, but added to that was a lack of acquaintance between the rule book and the referee which caused much wrangling and general 84 THE AEGIS dissatisfaction. The score, 26-0, gives no idea of the comparative strength of the opposing clevens. The last game of the season was with Peoria Central. Bloomington played a splendid game but was again defeated by a 12 to 7 score. The score shows that the teams were evenly matched and that a turn of luck might have thrown the game to the local athletes. Captain Whitesell played his fourth year of High School football and main- tained the splendid standard set in his first 3 years' work. He is a cool, hard player, a desperate tackler and is unexcelled in blocking his opponent and in handling forward passes. Ned ranks first among local ends and is the equal of any in the state. Injuries kept him out a part of the season and accounted largely for the loss of several games. Epstein, another four year man, played the best football of his career. He is an example of the persistent, hard working player who perfects himself in the game and rounds into a star performer. His position at center was taken care of in splendid style-until a broken shoulder in the Urbana game put him out for the season. Davison, a senior, playing his third year on the team, put up a great game at end. He excelled in punting and did not meet his equal among high school kickers. On defense he proved a fast runner, hard tackler and quick in sizing up the attack of the opposing team. He made an excellent running mate for Whitesell. Thompson, also a graduate, put up a strong game at tackle. He was a con- sistent player with the Weight and strength to meet the requirements of his posi- tion. He was good at blocking and a hard tackler. Cowden at tackle showed great improvement over his first year's work. His speed and weight made him a difficult proposition for opposing line men. He was an excellent tackler and a good man in breaking the way for plays on of- fense. He is also a senior. Crothers was a clever, hard Working player, whose Work Won recognition and a regular berth on the eleven. He was in the game all the time and showed the kind of fighting football spirit that makes winning teams. E. K. graduates this spring. Niedermeyer, a senior, but playing his first year of football, filled accepta- bly a guard position. His weight and activity made him a strong man on de- fense. Youngman, another big man, filled the place vacated by thc injured Epstein, and proved a cool and consistent passer in feeding the ball to the backs. He is a player who deserves credit for his steady attendance at practice and his willing- ness to work wherever placed. He graduates this year. E. Miller, another senior, who made an enviable reputation in the past, was unable to play during the entire season. He was an excellent end and would have greatly strengthened the team could he have played regularly. 85 THE AEGIS Kumler, captain-elect, possesses great speed and dodging ability which he made good use of at half back. He has caught the knack of avoiding tacklers and bucks the line like a veteran. His past performances have been good, but he shows even greater promise for the future. Perry, at quarter-back, played unusual football. His beadwork was good and his footwork clever. He was a consistent scorer. On defense he was a steady, dependable tackler, and quick in judging the plays of the offense. Fiedler, a lineman of great natural ability, played good football in several games. His Work was not as consistent as might be desired, but he shows great promise. Harry McMurry comes of a football family, and has kept up the family record in fine style. He has the Weight, head and enough speed to make a splen- did player. His work this year was high class, but with more experience he should develop into one of the best linemen Bloomington has ever turned out. Fithian, an experienced player, proved a valuable man at end and in the back field. He has ability as a ground gainer, is quick at sizing up the oppo- nents' attack and is strong in breaking interference. He has another year to play and should be one of the main cogs in the 1915 machine. Hoover, playing his first year on the team, developed into a good guard. He has Weight and judgment with a liking for work that makes him a valuable man in the line. His best work last season was in breaking up the plays headed toward his position. V Aside from the players that have been mentioned there are several others whose consistent attendance at practice or excellent work in the few games they were able to play makes them worthy of special notice. These players contributed greatly in putting the team in condition and in giving the regulars scrimmage: Rowley, R. Miller, Morrison, Deaver, Strickle, Dewenter, Hart, Hurst and Gard- ner. M1'.

Its record shows eleven victories out of a possible fifteen or a per cent of 73.3 for the season's work. This is an unusual showing for any team. Fred Young, who had acted as football coach, was retained for the basket ball team. He has a knowledge of this game that is equalled by few-and is a player of remarkable skill. For several years he was chosen as a forward on the minor college all-state five. He handled the coaching position in splendid fash- ion and was a great factor in producing a strong team. The season's work commenced with about thirty enthusiasts trying for posi- tions. Several experienced men from former teams reported for work, and with church league stars and new players, formed a strong squad. Coach Young soon cut down this number, retaining only the most promising material. The first game was played at home with McLean and resulted in an easy vic- tory, the score being 48-11. Atlanta was next, at Atlanta. This was another victory, but not so easy as the first. Final count, 27-15 . Washiligton was snowed under by a 66-4 score in the next alleged contest. Then came Peoria Manual on their own floor. The combination proved too strong, the floor being largely responsible, and We lost, 30-10. In the return game on the local iioor, Peoria was handed the short end of a 27 to 17 score. Decatur, at Decatur, came next. This game was one of the best and most hotly contested of the season. The final score, 18-17 in our favor, speaks for it- self. Later in the season this same team was defeated again, but in much easier style. In the second game the score, 37-22, gave the locals a safe margin. A game at Lexington followed. The score was close, 16-11, but another victory was hung up. The return contest on the local floor was Won handily 91 THE AEGIS the final count being 30-8. Peoria Central won a close and exciting exhibition on their own floor. Mann and McMurray were on the hospital list at this time, which makes the 23-18 result seem very creditable. Later, in Bloomington, this same team was clearly outplayed in a 21-13 game. l Springfield came next and by using, a peculiar five man defense succeeded in defeating the local athletes by a 16 to 14 score. Bloomington retaliated in the last game of the season by winning a return contest in splendid fashion. The result was 15-11 with the down state team the loser. By this time Bloomington had defeated the strongest teams in the district and had every reason for expecting a district or state championship. However, the district tournament upset all the dope in a surprising manner. District Tournament ' Bloomington 's first game was with Saybrook, the nominal county champions. This team was regarded as a strong contender for district honors, but was pow- erless against the local five. The score was 40 to 27 in favor of the locals. Friday afternoon the strong Onarga team was met and defeated. Mann and XVhitesell were kept in reserve for future games and were not used in this con- test. The game was clean and well played and resulted in another Bloomington victory to the tune of 28 to 24. 'Friday evening Normal High was met. This team displayed surprising strength throughout the tournament and was the dark horse that upset all the calculations of the dopesters. The first half ended in a 7-7 tie, after twenty minutes of strenuous basketball. In the second half Normal forged ahead and at the end of the period the count stood 12-9 in their favor. Bloomington 's record for the entire season was better than that of any other five. Decatur, victors in the tournament, had been defeated twice, and on ad- vance information the local school seemed certain of a di trict championship. Mr. Arnold was manager of this year 's team. and deserves great credit for the excellent schedule arranged and for the way in which he handled the many duties of his position. Captain Miller rounded out his basket ball career in splendid style. He was the mainstay of the team, taking care of the difficult center position in superior fashion. He played a clean but aggressive game, worked the fioor well and was sure in his basket shooting. His popularity with his team-mates, together with his knowledge of the game, made him a competent leader. He graduates this spring. Davison, another senior, played a brilliant game at forward. He displayed unusual speed in every contest and handled the ball and shot baskets with great accuracy. 92 THE AEGIS Crothers was one of the most aggressive and active players on the team. He proved a difficult proposition for the guards of the surrounding high schools. He Worked the floor in lightning style and shot baskets from any angle. His class is 1915. Epstein played a steady, consistent game at guard. Back guard is a position requiring a cool head, plenty of nerve and a lack of the basket shooting fever. Epstein had all these qualifications and was one of the valuable men on the squad. He is a senior. Whitesell, one of the best guards in the state, played his last season of high school basket ball. His work was unusual in all the games in which he played. The Normal game was probably the best performance of his career. He has the strength, weight and speed of the ideal guard. Mann has more speed than any other player on the team. His iioor work was sensational and his basket shooting accurate. His change during the season from forward to running guard, added greatly to his usefulness. Fiedler, by constant hard work and excellent playing, won a forward posi- tion. He showed to advantage in every contest and should make a brilliant player. McMurry, playing at guard and forward, was a dependable player. His weight and strength make him a hard man to handle. He is aggressive, clear headed and hard Working. He should become a star performer. The second team, composed of Morrison, Harrison, Bean, Cowden, Stewart, Strange and Dewenter, deserves great credit for the help given the first team. The practice these players afforded the first string men was strenuous enough to keep both teams in condition. The second team schedule was played through with the loss of but one game. WINNERS OF THE B Miller Whitesell Mann Epstein Crothers McMurry Davison Morrison Fiedler THE SENIOR FACULTY BASKET BALL GAME This year 's Basket Ball team consisted mostly of Seniors, so the Seniors on the team challenged the male members of the Faculty to a Basket Ball game. The challenge was read in Assembly as follows: To the Illustrious and Honorable Faculty: We, the male members of the Senior Class, in order that we may adjust differences of long standing, incum- bered by many years of unjust oppression, do hereby challenge the Faculty and only the Faculty to a mortal combat in the form of a basket ball contest to be staged in the spacious quarters of Bloomington 's superb muscle factory, viz., the 93 THE AEGIS Y. M. C. A., the proceeds to be split C50-505 fifty fifty between the athletic fund and the senior class, deductions being allowed for medical attention to said Fac- ulty for injuries, wounds, etc., sustained in said melee. We trust that the Hon- orable Faculty will give due consideration to this petition. We further trust that strict neutrality will be observed by all spectators and non-combatants. Signed, KIRK ALL-WOOD Caormzes, VICTORIA B. COWDEN, E. MILLER, JULIUS NATHAN LIVINGSTON EPSTEIN, WILLIAM PAXTON NIEDERMEYER, EDWARD XERXES DAVISON. P9 At an arousing assembly on the next Wednesday the challenge was accepted thus: To 'the Revered and Digniied Seniors: We, the male element of the High School Faculty, after many misgivings and painful anticipations, hesitatingly and humbly accept the challenge of the male members of the senior class to mortal combat in the form of a basket ball contest to be staged in the spacious quarters set aside for such tourneys. In the challenge tendered us, we were advised con- cerning medical attention, and we beg to announce that ample provision has been made to sustain, care for, and relieve all the pedagogue victims of the slaughter. The women of the Faculty have heroically volunteered their services as Red Cross nurses, and are already in course of training that they may act with efficiency i1I the oncoming struggle. We deem that a course of strict neutrality is expedient for us in the present crisis. Several hundred people witnessed the game, most of the spectators being connected with the High School. The score by no means indicates the closeness and excitement of the game. The contest was one of great interest, and good playing was exhibited on both sides. The teams played quite evenly at the beginning, but towards the end of the first half, Miller got his eagle eye in working order aI1d ran the score 29-18 in favor of the Seniors. The second half started with a spurt on the part of thc Faculty, and in a few minutes the Seniors were leading by only a single point. But soon the Sen- iors got their team work going and rolled up the score without mercy on the tired Faculty. At the close it stood 60-35 in the favor of the Seniors. 94 X R V' 73 : l l il at , W Q A X Q X S S ' -- P -A X24 '- Q -- -A X Wlfllvlurmwf X X s E ,M S M f 'Z 95 THE AEGIS TRACK Spring athletics began when about twenty-five men answered the call for track candidates issued by Mr. Thompson, Faculty Manager. Practice began at NVilde1' Field immediately after the spring vacation. Coach Muhl, of Wesleyan, volunteered his services, and his offer solved the coaching problem. Welidell Browning, last year 's mile runner, was appointed Captain, and proved to be a worthy and popular leader. Cn April l7, the second annual field day was held on Wilder Field. As this was the first contest of the year, it gave some idea of' the relative ability of the men trying for places on the team. Captain Browning and Kumler proved to be the stars of the meet. The records made on field day were as follows: 50 yd. dash-Kumler, lst, Pierce, 2d , Stewart, 3d, time, GM, seconds. 100 yd dash-Kumler, lst, Stewart, 2d, Nelle, 3d, time, ll seconds flat. 220 yd. dash-Kumler, lst, Browning, 2d, Pierce, 3d, time,- 440 yd. dash-Constantine, lst, Crothers, 2d, Nelle, 3d, time, 62 seconds. 880 yd. dash-Browning, lst, Dice, 2d , Thoennes, 3d, time, 2 min. 26 sec.

A relay was held consisting of Strange, Andrus, Murray and Kumler on one team, and Stewart, Baum, Nelle and Browning on the other. The former team won by a small margin in an exciting race. The dual meet With Decatur, which was to have been held on April 24, was eanceledby Decatur, and at the eleventh hour a meet was scheduled With Clinton at Clinton. An interesting contest resulted, the outcome of which was contin- ually in doubt. Clinton excelled in field athletics, while Bloomington proved to be superior on the track. Due to this fact, the points were Very evenly distrib- uted between the two teams. The victory of Captain Browning's relay team, how- ever, won the meet for Bloomington by a score of 58-57. Browning and Kumler again proved to be heavy point winners. Strickle made an exceptional record of l0M, seconds in the hundred yard dash. Angerer and Stillman were Clinton 's best men. Results of the meet were as follows: 50 yd. dash-Kumler, B. H. S., lst, Savely, Clinton, 2d, Strickle, B. H. S., 3d , time, 531, seconds. 100 yd. dash-Strickle, B. H. S., lst, Kumler, B. H.

The Corn Belt Meet, usually held in Springfield, took place this year on Wilder Field, with Coach Muhl, of Wesleyan, in charge. Bloomington entered a full team. Owing to the inexperience of many of the men and the absence of Deaver, who was the mainstay of the team last year, Bloomington was unable to win more than 6111 points. Decatur, whose success in all branches of athletics this year has been exceptional, won the meet. Ritter of Normal, and Holmes of University High, were the stars of the meet. Next spring a larger list of veterans will be available for the team, and Bloomington's outlook for the future seems encouraging. ! I 7 7 TENNIS This year, for the first time, Bloomington High School was represented by a tennis team. It is only within the last year or two that tennis has been staged at the inter-scholastic at Champaign, and never, prior to this year, did the Corn Belt Association call for entries in tennis. As there were a number of enthu- siastic players in the High School a try-out was set for April 17th, with the result of picking George Morrison for the singles and Harold Hayward and Edward Davison for the doubles. The Corn Belt Tournament singles began at two o'clock Friday afternoon, April 30th at the Illinois Wesleyan courts, Morrison of B. H. S. was defeated in the first round by Jones of Normal, 4-6, 4-6. In the first round doubles, Hay- ward and Davison defeated Potter and Downing of Mt. Pulaski, 6-0, 6-0, but were eliminated Saturday morning in the semi-finals by the Decatur duo, West and Moeller, 1-6, 3-6. The finals in both singles and doubles were played Saturday morning. West of Decatur defeated Jones of Normal in straight sets and became Corn Belt cham- pion. In the doubles Rust and Bohrer of University High defeated West and Moeller of Decatur in three hard fought sets, and the tennis events were closed. Thus, although B. H. S. was not among the winning schools, the tournament was both popular and successful, and should prove a valuable feature of future athletic contests. 98 I i I I 1 mpg THE AEGIS The Kumler Cup to be given to the best all-around athletes in' 1915-16 WHO IS IT ? 100 T H E A E GI S B.

The officers have been: FIRST SEMESTER. President: Howard Russell. Vice President: Iredell Harrison. Secretary: Hurvy Seibel SECOND SEMESTER. President: Ferdinand Senseney. Vice President: Harold Hayward. Secretary and Treasurer: Elmer Baum. Mr. Humphrey has met with the Club every Tuesday evening and as critic and counselor has been invaluable to the organization. THE TRIANGULAR DEBATE The second annual triangular debate consisting of teams from Champaign, Decatur, and Bloomington occurred December 4, 1914. The question discussed was, Resolved that the National Government should own and operate the tele- graph system of the United States. Each school was represented by an affirm- ative and a negative team. Our affirmative team, consisting of Harrison, Nelle, and Hayward, remained at home to debate against Decatur's negative team, while our negative team, consisting of Fagerburg, Greene, and Salzman, went to Champaign to battle against their affirmative team. Champaign sent her nega- tive .team to Decatur and thus formed the triangular league. The team was supported by anxious and enthusiastic spectators and al- though they met with defeat-2 to 1 here, and at Champaign unanimously,- their strong arguments and fine delivery must receive due credit. Mr. Dunn, the well known High School and Wesleyan debater coached the teams and proved to be of great assistance to them.

DRAMATIC CLUB. THE AEGIS TI-IE DRAMATIC CLUB The Dramatic Club entered upon its year of activity by first forming an organization and electing officers, thus starting the club upon a business basis. The officers were: President, Susan Hammittg Vice President, Milton Bowen, Recording Secretary, Ethel Forister, Corresponding Secretary, Dorothy Brown. The first great thing undertook was to draft and adopt a Constitution which will doubtless stand for many years as it was drawn up only after careful thought and deliberation. The committee that formed it was composed of Mar- guerite Niehaus, Chairman, Helen Morrison, and Russel Young. With this or- ganization and good material, both old and new, the Club was ready to begin its year's production of good drama. The first play put on was The Lady from Oklahoma. It is a story of a plucky little woman who came from her narrow sphere to acquire culture, that she might hold her own with her husband, who has won a place in the Senate. She does this with much difficulty and it is through the aid of beauty specialists and teachers of culture, that she furnishes much amusement, the beauty parlor scene being one of the features of the play. In the complexity of political life she has the opposition of an intriguing woman from Washington, but she over- comes all by means of her pluck and real, as well as acquired, culture. CAST.

Helen Morrison As it is customary to give two plays during the year besides the Senior Play, Quality Street was chosen for the last play, and doubtless will be the climax of the year's work. Quality Street, by Barrie, the play written for Maude Adams, is perhaps the most pretentious thing undertaken by the Dramatic Club of the High School. A quaint English village of the early eighteenth century with its very fine aristocratic ladies, and a very much entangled situation fur- nishes rarely good comedy. 112 THE AEGIS . CAST.

THOMPSON 'S SOLILOQUY CAfter having been the only man guest at a Mother 's To go or not to go-That is the question Whether 'tis nobler in the school to suffer The strife and boredom of outrageous hours Or to brace up and hike to Mothers' Club And by sheer valor face it. To go--to tarry When by imbibing say I dare The headaches and the thousand painful shocks Tea makes me heir to. 'Tis a consummation Scarcely to be wished! To go-to tarry- Perchance to die! aye, there 's the rub! For in that cup of tea what ills may come Yet if I shuffle off this mortal coil 'Tis a good cause-I go! 4? 'lf W lr Q 1' i Ah!

Next Monday the Famous Player Film Co. will release The Duncef' Mr. Harold Hayward will play the lead. We take the greatest of pleasure in announcing to our patrons the popular play, It pays to advertise, for Friday. This is a charming picture of love and pathos in which Miss Florence Eddy will play opposite Robert Dewenter. Our bi-weekly comedy, booked for Thursday, promises to be a laughing scream in o11e whoop. The film released will be The Lady Fusser, with Miss Dudes Bean playing the stellar role. OUR CORRESPONDENTS H. Kranzusch: How can I become a screen actress? I am exceedingly anxious to become a movie star. At the present time I am learning to become a stenographer so you can see I am willing to attempt anything. Ans. Actors are born not made. Edith Miner: Could you tell me where the suit was purchased which was worn by M. M. in 'The Lady from Oklahomafi' Ans. It was borrowed. Sorry we can 't trace it for you. Prof.: A fool can ask more questions than a wise man can answer. Senior: I wonder if that in any way accounts for so many of us flunking our exams. WE HOPE NOT Miss Anderson, calling the roll: Is there a Ford in the room? Miss Merwin in German: How would you decline, My hand? Arlo Norton: Why-er-er-I couldn't. Adam fsoliloquizingj : Ah, the worldgrows darker, twilight is approach- ing. Why, bless my soul, its Eve. Mr. Pearce: Mr. Epstein, who is the greatest man alive today? Julius: Oh, that is merely a matter of opinion, there are several of us. Miss Hedden: Russell Baum are you chewing gum ? R. B.: Yes Miss Hedden: Put it in the basket. Russell, after peculiar facial expressions: I swallowed it.' ' Iredell Harrison on seeing Mr. Baldwin's three small granddaughters standing in the hall: VVho are those freshmen? 135 THE AEGIS HOW T0 FLUNK BY AN OLD HAND. Never begin studying a lesson until fifteen minute bell. If this is inconvenient because of hall strolls, never review a lesson after going over it once. Never appear to listen to a recitation. These rules, if followed closely will insure complete ignorance of at least half the lesson. Never pay attention when the lesson is being assigned. If possible lose your book or at least leave it in your locker. Always forget to make up a zerog as a zero is a mere trifle, Assume an indifferent poetical attitude in class. Look bored or appear to have an absorbing interest out of the window. If a teacher notices you, assume a look of injured innocene. Never consider reading a book for outside work which you can see produced at the movies Take up as much time as possible in asking foolish questions. Also take a great deal of time in explaining why you did not get your lesson. It is often advantageous to say, I know but cannot express myself. Never let duty interfere with pleasure. A very short and effective manner to reach the same goal is to get few white ones. l Mr. Arnold to Marion Hartenbower: Name any one date you have had dur- ing the monthf' Marion: Cgloomilyj I can't think of any. I never will Vex her Nor make her displeased For Dot ean't bear To be worried or teased. Kind Lady: What grade were you in when you quit school? Bum: 4'The down grade. Mr. Humphrey: In the legislature how is roll call answered? Gertrude Rosemond: Each one tells the Speaker whether or not he is pres- ent. g 136 THE AEGIS YES, IT WOULD ! It would be funny not to see V Eleanor Stewart cutting up with deviltry Helen Bayne taking a doll baby step, Dot Brown down on suffragette pep. Roland Lehman blushing with all his might Herman Gunn ready for a Cvocalj fight. Alma G. sitting with nothing to do, Betty fussing a guy or two: Alonzo and Edith enjoying life 's bliss, Without 'fMark,' beginning to hiss, Edwin Hostetler telling you something new Without any definite object in view. Oh Debaters did you hear The Freshmen alarmingly cried: One of our classmates dear, Choked on a 'hot dog' and died. Brick to Vivienne: What do you want for a commencement present? Vivienne, tho'tfully: I want my mother's diamond ring. Mr. Pearce to E. Miller: Ernest, you are not earnest enough. Teacher: What part did Mason a11d Dixon take in the Mason-Dixon line? Wyon Andrus: They drew the line. Milton Bowen in History: There were many American lives killed. Herman Gunn, in discussion of Washington's political views: I couldn't find where he leaned. Before the Peoria High Game at Peoria: R. Fithian: '4Buck, where do you play, in the army? Buck: No, in the armory. Miss Pryor with a frigid look, Can freeze you in a minute. If you think her class is a sorrowful crew There 's one thing to do, look in it. Isabel Ives frantically entering Physics Lab.: Mr, Physics, will you please explain this problem to me? Miss Erswell: Why in Pardise Lost is Mammon mentioned first? Understanding Pupil: Because Milton is fondest of Mammenf' 137 T H E A E G I S VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Miss Onstott: This talking must stop 1 Miss Anderson: '4Prove it. Helen Bayne: If you want to forget your troubles wear tight shoes.' ' Mr. Arnold: Get busy now. Bernice Grapes fperhaps truthfullyj : I don't know a thing about this American History. Mr. Wallis: Girls! the bell has rung ! QHas this ever happened to you?D Hazel Caton: Assembly this morning? Miss Inman: This is delightfully indefinite. I. Ives: I 've always wanted to be an artist and draw things but I 've never been able to draw anything but a breathf ' Miss Treganza.: That's a grade school trick. Miss Parker: Forty lines in advance. CNever fails.j Wallis is our Principal For him a great big cheer. But when you're on the carpetw boys Take care, your doom is near. Pupil: The King of Spain died without any heir. A Mr. Arnold: ' 'What caused his deathfl' ' Pupil: Suffocation, I suppose. First Pupil: They are going to tear the library down. Second Pupil: How's that? First Pupil: They are afraid the magazines will explode. 77 They told me not to study, Nor sit up late to cram: They told me not to worry, About passing my exam. And so I did not study, Nor sit up late to cram: I didn 't even worry- And I flunked my exam. Marguerite Niehaus: Don't you think this is a beautiful melody? Unsympathetic Listener: Yes, I consider it quite a strain. Mr. Pearce in explaining an experiment. That 's the water that isn't there. ' 138 7 THE AEGIS DAILY HEALTH I-IINTS To develop the muscles of the eye for over shoulder squints in German peek through a key hole twenty minutes daily. This is equally beneficial to the ligaments of the back. To the mentally feeble, we suggest that they keep their mouths closed. Above all things do not chew the rag as this permits lint to accumulate on the lungs. Avoid all unnecessary winking as this is a terrible strain upon the eyes. 1918 Grass. 1917 Brass. 1916 Gas. 1915 Class B.

Sibyl Cafter long pausej : Well perhaps they didn't use a light. Miss Inman: When did the story take place? Q Freshmen: Early Monday morning. Ruth E. thinks of dropping Latin And all her friends concurg For, knowing her, they quite agree One tongue's enough for her. Mrs. Braggi: The window in my hall has stained glass in it. Mrs. Green: Too bad! Can't you find something that'll take the stains out? Strange that it takes a fellow so long to make up his 'mind when he hasnlt any. 139 T H E A E G I S SEEN ON TEST PAPERS A mountain range is a large cook stove.

Heber Hudson: Mexico was weak and also had internal troubles. 140 THE AEGIS THE SAME OFFENSE BUT DIFFERENT WAYS OF MEETING IT Mr. Wallis: Girls! CNO chance for anything furtherj. Miss Holder, sweetly: Something Went tin-gle, -in-gle-in-gle-in-gle-in-gle- ing.' ' Miss Pryor accompanied with grasp of the arm or tap on the shoulder Cnot so sweetlyj : You have no business out here. Miss Duboc smiles and shakes her head. Mr. Arnold too deep in thought to notice anyone. Student 's faults are manyg Teachers, have only two: Everything they ask, and Everything they do. If in writing jokes for the Aegis you would kindly write them on tissue paper in order that they may be seen thrug you can thereby save the Editor a great deal of trouble. SAFETY FIRST Remember your key! Get your parents' consent or at least their signature before taking a vaca- tion. Go to class before first bell to avoid suspicion. During your vacant hours in the library always read a library book. If you must chew gum do so in German class where a mutual understanding exists. 1 There are meters iambic, And meters trochaic, And meters in musical tone, But the meter that 's neater, Completer And sweeter Is to meeter by moonlight alone. -Ex.
