The rooms then seemed so numerous, The halls led to and fro, And yet there were not many there That each one did not know. And one big room was filled with desksg It seemed enormous then. But now in view of what we have It might be called a pen. And many were the joys and cares Hemmed in by its four wallsg It was the scene of romps and cheers, That old Assembly Hall. And then again there was a place, It was--shall I tell where? ,lf teachers promise not to read- It was beneath the stair. That was the place-how dim it was !- For dates and dates galore, And some were sweet, they say, to eat, And some were something more. But gradu'ly the rooms filled up, They filled to overflowing, And where to go for each hour 's class There simply was no knowing. A new high school! A new high school! We cried from day to day, Until at last we got our wish And then with hearts so gay, We left the place-the old high school- 'Twas left alone and weary, A friend to us most tried and true, Now cold and sad and dreary. 12 THE AEGIS New B. H. S! Great B. H-. S! The cry that one heard now. All eager joy for what had come, To it we made our bow. With ceilings high, and rooms, oh my! Who can their number count? And all so spacious, bright and clean, And stairs? A great amount! We entered thru, the lofty doors And marvelled at their grandeur. Then to the auditorium We went amid much splendor. And there in that most wondrous place We did allegiance swear, To all the school and all the rules To be enacted there. A GLIMPSE OVER THE WALL COLEITA AITKIN ln a far away country where the people were either very rich or very poor, a high stone wall separated two fields. The wall had been built by the king of the land. No one but the king knew why, though a great many people had their own theories on the subject. Some guessed that it was to shut in the royal household, while others were sure it was to shut out the common people. Probably both were right. The two people most annoyed by the wall were a little princess and a little girl. The little princess would have liked to be a little girl too, but she couldn't very often, for princesses had to begin, when very young, to learn to be queens. She disliked the stone wall for it was forever in the way, right between her and everything she wanted most to see. Sometimes she was allowed to gather daisies and buttercups in the field on her side of the wallg but she was getting awfully tired of daisies and butter- cups. They couldn't speak and she wanted someone to talk with. Of course her governess was thereg that was another trouble-her governess was always there, and she was tired of her governess too. Oh, if she could only climb over that horrid wall and find out what was beyond. One day the King was very ill, and everyone so worried about him that the little princess was forgotten. Even the governess stood around looking white and scared instead of attending to her regular business and she did not notice THE AEGIS 13 when the little princess slipped out. Through the great front door, through the garden, keeping close to the tall hollyhocks which hid her from the palace windows, and across the daisy iield, hurried the scheming princess, free at last to go over, or under, or around, or through the tempting wall if only she could, by any means, find a way. lt must have been her lucky day for the great gate was unlocked, and all she had to do was to push. But that seemed a very hard thing to do. l guess l 'in weak 'cause l've always had a servant to open my gates, she exclaimed, but being a plucky little princess she kept on pushing until she was red in the face and all out of breath. lf she hadn't been a princess, she might have cried, but that was the most particular lesson in her queen-book,- Never Cry. No matter how vexed, or worried, or unhappy a queen is, she must not cry. So she swallowed hard and pushed some more. Suddenly the gate flew open a11d she went sprawling through it, flat on the ground. A queer little girl tried to help the princess up, but she didn 't help much, for her poor, little, thin legs were strapped in steel braces, and an ugly harness was fastened around her waist, so that she eouldn't stoop over. The little girl explained that she had been trying to pull the gate open because folks said there were daisies in the King's field and she had never seen a daisy. She was .1 very lonesome little girl, for she had 110 playmates, and her father was too poor to buy her books orltoysg it took so much money to pay the doctor who was trying to make her legs straight. The little princess listened in amazement, shocked at the elbow patches and old worn shoes which made her conscious of her own beautiful dress and dainty white slippers. - 't0h, she cried, lt makes me ashamed of myself. I'll never be disap- pointed again when l can't see my mother very often and have to be tagged to my governessf' lt isn't very pleasant to be a queen. They have to go to prisons, and they never know when their husbands are going to be beheaded, a11d their children are shut up in towers, and their favorite ladies always clope with traitors, and every other kind of horrid things, 'i the little lame girl said. But it 's worse to be lame and poor a11d my side of the wall is best, rc- torted the little princess. Back across the daisy-field ran the princess, and the lame little girl stood watching her through the open gate. Sighing and slowly shaking her head she said, No, l don 't like the other side ofthe wall, after all. l'd rather stay here, even if my legs do hurt me, where l can see my mother all the time, where my husband can keep his head and we don 't have to go to prison if we are honest. I'1l never try to open that gate again. And so each little girl, the little princess with so much in the world, and so little besides, and the poor little girl with so little in the world, and so much besides, learned that she was happiest in the place where she belonged. 14 THE AEGIS PICTURES AND PICTURES A MEMBER or B. H. S. The clock on the dingy wall of the city room of the Morning Star would have struck five, if it had been a striking clock. Being unendowed with a voice, it merely pointed a warning hand at the figure five and ticked solemnly on. The city room at five in the afternoon was always a busy place. Half a dozen typewriters beat a brisk tattoo while the half dozen reporters who manned them contemplatively chewed frazzled cigars. A diminutive copy-boy slouched insolently from desk to desk, collecting the copy that the machines had ground out. Enthroned behind his large and hopelessly littered desk in one corner sat young Jim Worth, city editor. Jim was efficient, twenty-five, and busy. Beyond that there was nothing unusual about him, for we must not have too much description in a fifteen hundred word story. Before him lay a heap of copy which he was revising and supplying with headings. He had just read a very lengthy and very uninteresting article by the dramatic and musical critic of the Star, and his blue pencil hovered in the air a moment as he thought over the heading. Then he wrote: H MADAME ALONDRA TO SING HERE Famous Metropolitan Opera Soprano Will Give a Concert at the Chatterton Opera House Tonight. EXTRAOEDINAEY SEAT SALE He paused to read over the heading and then picked up from the desk a photograph which portrayed the expansive and rather buxom features of the aforesaid prima donna. For a moment Jim critically inspected her, then marked off a blue square on the copy sheet, with the inscription Insert cut here. Pushing aside the uninteresting article together with the equally unin- teresting picture of the singer, he picked up the next story, and plunged into a gruelling account of a family feud in Forty Acres. Ted, the trained office boy clumped across the room. He slapped a bundle of mail on Jim Worth 's desk and continued on his blithe road. Jim finished reading his gory tale, made a few marks with his dictatorial blue pencil and began to sort the mail. Most of it received only a glance from him and then travelled via the air route to the Exchange Editor at the adjoining desk. Of the few letters which he kept, Jim singled out a bulky, square envelope, which was addressed to Mr. James Worth, fpersonalj and which exhaled a faint odor of sandalwood. THE AEGIS 15 With deft and perhaps a trifle hasty fingers the city editor opened the envelope. From it fell four closely-written sheets of paper, and a picture. For a long minute Jim gazed at the pretty face that smiled back at him from the card, which bore the inscription, Ever yours, Marian. Presently he laid the picture on the edge of the desk and began to read the letter. Of course it 's a well-known fact that such letters will bear re-reading, that they even become more interesting each time, as one constantly discovers new and hidden beauties of style. Thus it happened that Jim was reading the scented missive for the third-or was it the fourth 1?-time, when a suppressed snieker from the Ex- change Editor's desk brought him back to earth with a start. A guilty flush spread over the young man 's face as he gathered up letter and photograph in hasty confusion and jammed them into his pocket. The blue pencil was travelling at top speed over sheet after sheet of type- written paper, when Ted oozed up to the desk. Any copy? Yes, Ted, responded the city editor, without glancing up from a heart rending obituary notice, jerking a thumb at the Madame Alondra story, Take that stuff to the typo, and that picture up to the engraving room. And tell the engraver to be sure to do a good job, it's a front page article. Yes sir! responded the willing Ted, as he gathered up the picture and papers and ambled toward the door. Jim's pencil was still exceeding the speed limit when Ted returned twenty minutes later. U if i 1 I' if if if 'Il 1 Jim Worth yawned. He laid his book on the center table of his neat bachelor apartment, tossed his cigar into 'the grate and yawned again. His watch informed him that it was half past one, and time for his beauty sleep. lle had left the office soo11 after midnight, having finished his editorial duties and having left the newspaper to the tender mercies of the proof-reader. Now, as he slowly divested himself of his coat, he reflected that he really deserved a rest. Suddenly a thought Hashed upon him. To be sure! He had forgotten all about Marian's picture and letter in his pocket. He would read the letter onee more, and put the picture in the little silver frame on the maiitle. He fumbled in the eoat pocket a moment. Yes, there it was, the letter and the picture. As he unfolded onee more the sheets of the letter, he glanced at the picture. The glance froze into a stare. J im 's eyes became glassy and his jaw dropped. Was he losing his eyesight or his mind? He wondered vaguely whether he was per- fectly sane, as he gazed with fascination at the broad and world-famous features of Madame Alondra. J im 's first and only remark was one that no self-respecting family magazine would repeat. Then he struggled i11to his coat a11d was off down the street at a run. The Main Street lights were turned off, and the street ears had long since stopped running. A startled policeman awoke from his snooze beside the signal box long enough to wonder who could have kicked him on the shi11, when there was no one in sight except a young man two blocks away travelling like a steamer whose captain has just sighted a periseope. 16 THE AEGIS Jim Worth turned the last corner and almost skidded through a plate glass window. By J ove! The office was dark, as he had feared. The paper was off the press. As he crossed the street, he noted the coldly malicious stare with which the greasy windows reflected the moonlight. Jim turned the key, and a moment later stood in the press room, where the papers lay, neatly stacked for the carriers. The lights flashed on, and by their merciless glare the unfortunate young editor recognized on the front page of the paper, till limp from the press, a familiar, smiling face and the inscription, Ever yours, Marian. With a groan Jim Worth peeled off his coat, found a pair of shears and set to work. Two hours later the startled policeman awoke from his snooze long enough to watch a suspicious looking character with a queer bundle under his arm, slowly trudge along Main Street. It was a tired young city editor who walked into the office of the Star on the next afternoon and gave surly answers to all inquiries. And it was an irate lot of subscribers who kept the phones jangling all day, to find out why the upper right hand corner of their papers was missing. They never received any definite information on that topic. But in the bottom of Jim Worth 's trunk lies a great heap of printed repro- ductions of the smiling face of a certain young lady who signs herself Marian, and for some unknown reason Jim gets all his personal mail at home. A PLEA JUx,1A HENNINGIQR Of all the torments, all the cares, With which our lives are cursedg Of all the plagues a student bears, The finals are the worst! ' ' Misery loves company, ' ' Said a wise man long ago. In finals, too, we joy to find Companions in our woe. O Teacher, surely you can see That fears do wrack my breast. I beg that you will favor me, E'en tho' you slight the rest. How great 0 e'er your rigors are With them alone I'd cope, I can 't endure my own despair And see another's hope. THE AEGIS 17 1 9 3 7 GEORGE SLOAN In 1937 the class of '17 will have bee11 out in the world for twenty years. Who will be the statesman, who the money master, and who the literary genius? At the same time that these students graduate, thousands of others all over the country will do the same. They, too, are ambitious. They, too, are sure that their class contains the brilliant successes of the future. These are not mere day- dreams. Anything may happen. Who can tell! In 1872 a nine-year-old southern boy was compelled to work twelve hours a day in a glass factory, due to the untimely death of his father. But he kept his eyes open, and soon got a job as a bell-boy, in the hotel across the river from his home. He soon worked up to night-clerk, and then took over the bowling alley, and within four years had ten thousand dollars in the bank, and had spent half as much more on a home for his mother a11d sister. One day a newspaper informed him that in Buffalo there was arising a giant twelve-story structure with a thousand offices within its walls. I'll get the restaurant privileges, he said. After many difficulties he made a success of it. With two hundred thou- sand dollars from his restaurant, and three hundred thousand more fborrowedj, he built the Inside Inn,f' at the St. Louis World's Fair. At the end of the summer he took back an additional two hundred thousand to Buffalo, for his summer 's work. Then he built the hostlery in Bufalo, across from the restaurant. which bears his name, and in rapid succession, one at Detroit, and Cleveland, and he will soo11 put into operation the largest hotel in the world, containing two thousand, two hundred rooms, opposite the Pennsylvania Terminal in New York. If you know anything about the hotel business you have probably heard of him,- E. M. Statler. In 1908, a bright young salesman succeeded in landing a big lot of orders for cars. Then he found that his firm was ready to go into bankruptcy. He took over the factory, without a cent of capital, and managed to put through the year, by using the money taken in on one car to pay for the materials for another. When he took over the shop, he was thousands of dollars in debt. This was in January, 1908, and by August 15, the debts were all paid. Hi inventory showed assets of forty-eight thousand dollars. On thi as capital, he made and sold four thousand, sixty-five cars the next year 09095, clearing over one million dollars. With a shoestring and lots of hard work, this man, John North Willys, built a sixty-eight million dollar corporation in nine years. Three years ago a studious-looking young man-he was then twenty-nine years old,-came to New York City. He had only a few dollars in his pocket. But his head was full of ideas and he did know business principles. He entered the Pyrene Manufacturing Company as a salesman. In six months he was sales- manager. Then he was put in charge of advertising. In 1916, the president of the Pyrene Company, a million dollar corporation, resigned. The Board of Directors elected the studious-looking young man President. He had been with the firm less than two years. From no job to presidency of a huge corporation at the age of thirty-one! The name of this young man is C. Louis Allen. 18 THE AEGIS So it is all over the United States. Big executives of enormous corporations are literally begging for men for big positions. ln Boston, in February of this year, a certain firm advertised for a General Manager. Salary 350,000 to start, and one hundred thousand after making good. Yet many young men go around complaining, and as an excuse for their idleness, say that there is not a chance, any more. Instead of lacking the opportunities of our forefathers, we are much more fortunate. The rebuilding of Europe, awakened China, the wonderful riches of South America, the virgin Mexico, the undeveloped Alaska, the wealth of Australia, the natural resources of Africa-all-await the ambitious young man of today. Never before has apportunity been so great, never before has for- tune smiled so sweetly upon the youth starting out to make his way. The last generation has opened the path, it is for the young men and young women of the present to finish the work which has already been begun. Thus, of the class of 1917, who will be the great public leader, who the power in the financial world. and who the famous writer? I wonder. I wonder! THE AEGIS HAROIID GREENE Perhaps to the overburdened minds of our readers, there has been vague uncertainty as to why our deep thinking predecessors imposed the name Aegis upon the recording book of many generations of High School students. lt is my avowed purpose to remove this state' of uncertainty from your minds. Herein I will give a short synopsis of the Aegis's life history. Those of you who have been exposed to Greek mythology will doubtless recognize The Aegis as being the sacred shield of Jupiter, who was king of all Gods. The Aegis was made for him by Vulcan, the God of fire. This shield derived its name from its covering Aegis which is the Greek word for Goat Skin. tlt might be well, gentle reader, to inform you here that our Aegis is not of goat skin, although it may skin. some guufs.J As God of aerial phenomena Jupiter could, by shaking the Aegis, produce storms, tempests, and intense darkness. Now it was well known among the gods that Minerva was the favorite daughter of Jupiter, consequently she was subject to the envy of the lesser gods. Jupiter seeing this, bestowed the Aegis upon Minerva as her protection from all danger. She was permitted to hurl the thunder, control the elements, and lastly, but greatest of all, to pro- long the life of man by guarding his truthfulness, character, and all virtues. So it was that she was the Goddess of Wisdom, with the Aegis, the eternal protector of wisdom and virtue. Minerva always used the Aegis against tyrannical oppression and for the general welfare of mankind. In the center of the famous shield was the head of Medusa, bordered with serpents and covered with dragon scales. Upon looking at the Aegis, the observer was instantly turned to stone by the influence of the head of Medusa. THE AEGIS 19 This, is the history of the name of our annual book, published under the guardianship of the Goddess of Wisdom. lt records, as a Judgment Book, the tales of your deeds and misdeeds. However, we sincerely hope that, although this book naturally surpasses all others in quality, wit, and beauty, you may not be turned to stone upon beholding it in all its splendor.

Hicsrna Mrznwizv Leaving New York p lt was a cold, bleak February day in 1917 when we steamed out of New York harbor, on the good steamship Pastores, bound for the southern seas. There was a sharp, biting wind that seemed to pierce to the very marrow of my bone and everyone on board was bundled up in fur coats. l leaned over the railing, looking down at the cold, grey water with huge blocks of ice floating on it, and I shivered as I thought of a possible submarine experience and how horrible it would be to end one 's life in such a sea. Jamaica All passengers in the dining room for the doctor. This was our morn- ing awakening when we landed in port. It seemed foolish to me and a waste of time that we had to go through this silly performance before we were allowed to land. Not that I objected to being examined,-the doctor didn 't even look at our tongues, but it was the unearthly hour at which we were called,-Six 0'clock! On this particular morning I woke with the particular feeling that l wished I had a particular something to throw at the particular steward who called me. However, why grumble on such a wonderful morning? It had now been almost two weeks since we had left dismal New York towering in its greatness, black against the sky, and the cold grey water had given place to the clear blue waters of the Caribbean, dotted with its group of fairy islands of feathery verdure. The air was sweet and balmy and the sun shown brightly. Suddenly I remembered that we were in port,-I had for- gotten for the moment where we were. I jumped out of bed and ran over to the window and looked out. VVe were in the beautiful little harbor of Port Antonio, Jamaica. lt was lovely to behold with the surf rolling in, dashing up sprayg the lovely green rolling hills covered with palms and tropical plants, and the mountains in the background not snowpeaked as our Rockies, but enveloped in soft, fleecy clouds. There were no piers to mar the shore lille and no large factories or smoke to dim the clear atmosphere but here and there among the hills were sprinkled tiny thatched dwellings. All this added to its charm and it seemed to me that I could have stood for hours looking at it. A few minutes later when I reached the deck, everyone was leaning over the railing and laughing. Down in the water there were scores of black Jamaican boys diving for coins. They were shrewd fellows and knew from ex- perience, that if they refused to dive for a three-pence they were sure to get more. It was too funny to see them go after the money. The minute a eoin struck the water, all that you could see were black, shiny legs and when the upper portion of their bodies did appear there was always a gleaming tri- umphant face. I noticed one thing particularly, they never fought for the THE AEGIS 21 money. They seemed to have formed a kind of partnership and as soon as their cheeks were bulging with coins they always deposited their earnings with one of the rowers in the boat. All of a sudden I heard a terrible noise and screaming on deck and before I knew it one of those wiry little apes was climbing up the railing at my side. In a flash he was over the railing again and in the water below, grinning up at the sailor who was shaking a broom at him menacingly. For a shilling sev- eral of the boys offered to dive from the hurricane deck, some forty or forty- five feet from the water, and we had a. fine exhibition of high diving. After we finished breakfast all of the passengers, who were going to get off, assembled on deck to have their passports approved. We spent all of that morning motoring over the island never ceasing to wonder at the things we saw. We passed mile after mile of cocoanut, bread- fruit, royal and date palms. The eocoanut palms were simply loaded with cocoanuts. I learned that there were over fifty different kinds of palms on the island. Everything was green with luxuriant vcrdure and the gorgeous color- ings of the tropical plants, flowers and vines were startling in their splendor. Even the yards of the poorest seemed like gardens. Nothing has to be cared for there, things just grow wild. I could not find a spot that looked scrubby or bare. In Jamaica it rains practically every day, so there is no chance for the plants to get dry or dusty. Our chauffeur told us that during their last rainy season in October, a lake was formed over a hundred feet deep, by the rain pouring down the mountain side. All of the houses in the mountains were little huts woven out of laths of bamboo and the roofs were thatched. Once in a while we turned in on some road that led along one side of a mountain and then we could see thousands of feet, down into beautiful, green valleys with their odd little houses perched high on the mountain sides. One tenth of the population of Jamaica are whites and the rest are Jamai- cans Cblacksj and Coolies fHind0osl whom the English have imported from East India, to work. They are a very proud race and do not mingle with the Jamaieans. Certainly the mutilated faces of some of them attest the enmity between them and the native race. However, for the most part, these swarthy people have fine features and faces. They also dress very differently. The men wear large, white turbans and soft white robe-like costumes reaching to their knees. The women and children wear bright colors and their skirts are full and covered with designs or stripes of color. The coolies make wonderful jewelry by melting coins and then molding and pounding them into the desired shape, and carving strange figures and designs on them. They, themselves, are covered with this jewelry, consisting of nose rings, ear rings, neck rings, ankle rings, chains, finger rings, and brace- lets. Their ear rings were a subject of constant Wonder and admiration, being very beautifully and delicately worked out and very large. You can buy eoolie jewelry in the shops and once I priced a pair of these ear rings. They were sixty dollars. 22 THE AEGIS Along the roadside were little children with huge bouquets of flowers which they threw into our machine as we passed by. All too soon lunch time arrived and by the time we returned to the hotel, I felt as if I had seen enough strange sights to fill a book. Rafting on the Rio Grande Rafting is rather unusual sport, to a new-comer from the 'States and the Jamaican rafts are no less curious. When I learned that seventy-five were going on this trip I thought, of course, that there would be about seven or eight rafts provided for the whole party and that each raft fprobably made of rough hewn logsj would accom- odate ten or more people. But what was my surprise and wonder to sec the shore simply lined with little light bamboo crafts, about thirty feet long and three feet wide. The bamboo used in making these were very large, perhaps five inches in diameter, and running across underneath were several poles of bamboo bound securely to the upper part by thongs. At the very end of the raft was a raised seat of the same material, to keep the water from washing up over us. On this strange craft only three persons were allowed, the two passen- gers and a guide. Soon all had chosen partners and our guides were pushing us off shore. No sooner had the raft, on which I was placed, reached mid-stream, than I heard someone calling and on turning around saw that we were being signalled from land. I guessed what they wanted before we landed again. The girl who was with me was only seventeen and they thought we each should have the protection of a man. Much to our disgust, we were separated, starting again with our new companions. The guide on my raft was a mere boy, black as all the rest, and only looked to be about eight or nine, so they exchanged him for his grandfather, a gentleman of some years. Once again we were off, the last ones to leave. We sat at the rear end and our guide stood at the very front steering us with a long pole of bamboo. The current swung us along at a great rate and we soon rounded the bend and saw many rafters ahead of us. In about five minutes we came to the first rapids. As we approached them the raft went faster and faster and in a moment we were shooting gaily over the bubbling, foaming surface. The water must have been rather shallow there because we could hear the rocks scraping against the bottom. At the foot of the rapids was a huge rock and our guide gave the raft a sharp turn, but the strong current soon caught. us and carried us in our old path, heading right for it. Just as it seemed we were about to strike it, he struck his pole against the rock. Only a moment we lingered, and then swung on down-stream. lt was great fun and quite a sensation, nevertheless I took a deep breath of relief when we were once more on our way. The second rapids were more exciting than the first and on the third ones I really thought for a moment that we were gone. The raft gave a terrible lunge and we both got a good dousing of water. But that was all and we were soon wishing for more rapids. THE AEGIS 23 Then clouds began to accumulate in the sky and soon the sun disappeared behind them. On we glided down the silent, glassy river, winding among mountains covered with soft and feathery bamboo. There was not a sound. Everything wasistill save the gentle lapping of the waves against the side of the raft. It began to rain, a soft pitter-patter and the fresh, green banks seemed to give out a quieter radiance of their own. Here and there were brilliant hanging vines, spreading up the mountain side in their gorgeous array of colors. We passed a score of little black Jamaican boys swimming near the shore. As we sat there in a reverie silently drinking in the beauty of it all, we little noticed our increasing speed or the gurgling of the water as it rushed over the rocks. All of a sudden 1 came to the realization that we were dashing swiftly down, down another rapids and a pleasant little thrill of anticipation ran through me. However, this thrill soon gave place to fear for in an instant we began to whirl. Our raft wheeled completely around and then struck a rock with a terrible crash and splintering. The corner of our raft against the rock acted as a pivot and as the treacherous, whirling water struck against us, over the whole thing turned and i11 almost a moment we were all three of us in the water. As we went over I had the feeling that we were in rather deep water and I was greatly relieved when I felt bottom. Notwithstanding the shallow water it seemed to me as if l would never reach the surface and in my mad scramble to get my head above water it came into rather violent contact with the raft. The shock was so great that I gulped, swallowing about a quart of water, more or less, and sank down only to 1'ise immediately quite free from the raft. I clung to the side of the raft, gulping and spluttering, with water streaming out of my nose and mouth. As soon as I could regain my senses and strength, I tugged at the raft, but it was stuck fast. At the other end a black face emerged with gleaming white teeth. I sup- pose this Hdriver to destruction was in his element but not I. l am very fond of swimming but not this kind. Then Mr. -l arose holding a camera high in his right hand. We all pulled together and finally turned over the raft, Init the poor chap lost his balance and fell in again losing his fine camera. So in- stead of saving me, the purpose for which he had been sent, I had to turn life- saver and grab hold of his hand and help him upon the raft. Once more we started 011 talking and laughing about our unusual exper- ience. lt was still raining, Init we didn't take the trouble to put up our um- brella as before. After that we went over six more rapids very successfully. When we finally came to the end of our three miles, every one was waiting anxiously for us. They evidently thought that something must have happened, because they were just going to send some one back after us. However, I found that we were not the only ones that got a ducking-which was really a consolation. It causes me much mirth when I think of how they sent Mr. -l along with me for protection. I can 't help but think that if I had stayed with my or- iginal partner, our craft would have been more evenly balanced and our acci- dent would never have occurred. T H E A E G I S INTERRUPTIONS HELEN H Anmsox When we all came to school at the first of the year, And started our classes anew, Things continued as smoothly as if well in gear, And we acted quite calm, for us, too. VVhen the teachers arrived on the morn of each day And they started their classes with spirit, There appeared on their faces expressions quite gay, ' But lo and behold -- There was hustle and bustle-no one was cool, For in line and according to size, Two by two we marched over to our new high school And we waved at the camera's eyes. - After this great event, we had hardly calmed down, When confused but slightly elated, Since the germ of a smallpox had sailed into town, We were sent up to be vaccinated. Then- It was awful, and terrible, quite vexing, too, And created a shocking sensation. How we fussed and we fumed till we felt mighty blue, They compelled us to take spring vacation! VVhcn we came back to school, I truly believe That you might have seen curious things, Such as limping on crutches, and empty coat sleeves, Also arms that were bound up in slings. But 't is now almost over, and no one seems ailing, So perhaps we shall have pretty soon, Just a short little stretch of some quieter sailing From this uproarious time until June. T H E A E G I S 25 ANYWHERE IN AUSTRIA Lotus EPs'r1a1N The battle was over and all was still and motionless on the field. Perhaps it had once been a green pasture, dotted with passive sheep and their joyful lambs, or with peace-loving cattle grazing on the fresh grasses. Now-all was changed. The turf was cut and overturned in many places where heavy wheels had crushed it. Unsightly holes showed where shells had exploded-on men? A shallow trench crossed the field, and near it were the ruins of cannon. A huge oak had been struck by an exploding shell, and its limbs, half-buried, now lay prostrate. Mangled horses lay about, sometimes upon their riders. Near the oak, a French peasant felt that the wound in his breast was soon t.o prove fatal. All night long he had prayed that Death might still the cruel pain in his chest, but now numbness had silenced the burning nerves and his thoughts were free. The sky was clear, and fresh, and blue. A strong, warm sun was in the ascent. Somewhere in France, was that same blue sky and that same bright sun, looking down on a pure, simple cottage. Far away, Oh! so far away that simple little cottage. And its inmates-Sophie and the chil- dren, Emile, Remi, Francois. Never, never would he see them again. O, God! lt was unbearable. His head rolled over and his eyes fell upon a tiny flower that still dared to lift its head on the field of Death. lt was the muguet. How Sophie loved its white blossoms! How she had loved to gather them in the Spring! ...... Oh ! what misery! After all, what was the difference? Here was the same sweet flowers as were back there in France. The same blue sky and the same golden sun looked down on the same big Mother-earth. A few yards away lay another form. Slowly, laboriously, painfully, he dragged his body over to the other. It was a German soldier. A deep red cut across the head and temple showed what had caused his death. He was an enemy. Was he an enemy? What was it all about anyway? Back at that little cottage, all had been peaceful and happy and contented. Then came The War. He had been told that the Germans were cruel, and would invade his tranquil little home. A slight breeze arose and stirred the fair locks over the peaceful face of the dead man. He was a German. After all, did not the same sky and the same sun look down on Germany that looked down on France, and on Austria? Again the breeze stirred the dead man's hair. Perhaps he too had somewhere a humble cottage and his own Sophie, and his own little Emile, and Remi, and Francois. Farther off somewhere, a dying soldier was trying with his last breath to sing a hymn. Scarcely audible, the words floated to him on the breeze: Tu notre Dieu, Pere de bonte. Nous sommes tout tes enfa'n,fs. Yes, we are all His children. Still-? Even a man would not want his sons to fight each other. Surely the Great Father does not want his children to kill one another? Oh, what was it all about? Why must he die here, far away 26 THE AEGIS from the children and his wife? XVhy niust the others die far away from their homes and their families? Little golden-haired Emile, sweet little Francois, and Reini who was just beginning school. A little hird alighted on the hlasted oak and commenced to sing. The peasant ceased st ruggrling with his thoughts. His hody relaxed and his head fell on the ii0l'Ill2lll'S hreast. Sweet and elenr the little hird's song floated on the air. NVhite, fleeey clouds were hegxinning' to appear in the hlue sky, hut the sun still sent its bright rays down to the earth. 'Phe pure little muguel nodded its hells in the breeze. A tiny field-mouse ran across the field, scranihling' over the soldiers' hodies. A cloud floated hefore the sun, veilingr its bright rays. Out aeross the field, the dying' soldier's hymn sank into a despondent wail and was lost. 1 1 t 'ff' I MR. BALDWIN RAISES THE NEW FLAG tPRESENTED BY THE D. A. RJ TO THE TOP OF THE NEW BUILDING.

My curiosity was kindled' by a talk on the subject, and 1 at once made an appoint- ment with a medium. She told me that if I assumed a clairvoyant state for three days, I could not only read my own future, but also that of the whole Senior Class. Knowing that all the Seniors would be glad of the information, 1 consented, and remained in a trance without food or sleep for three days. The scenes, that came most clearly to my mind, were those of ten years hence. l was in New York, having been promoted by the Woolworth Co. ffor my gift of gabl to the position of head of the social or reception committee, my duty being to escort people over our wonderful building. lt was one afternoon when visitors were scarce, that a tall, slightly gray haired man entered. He wore glasses and was a trifle stoop shouldered which I afterward learned was caused by studying the greater part of the day. I was surprised on learning that it was Joe Black, commonly known as Edison the Second. ' ' After bringing him back to the reception room, I was met by two women, Miss Herder and Miss Hochrack, who were reporters. They had hoped I might have some news of Black 's latest experiment. After talking some time I learned that Apphia Meatyard and Mary Robinson were becoming rich by means of a Delicatessen Shop on 12th Ave, and that Phoebe Lovell and Miriam Boyer, after their wonderful experience in the war as Red Cross nurses, were 11ow at the head of an open air hospital for poor children in Chicago. l promised the girls that if they would return the next day I would take them to the Essanay Studio, in my areoplane which was parked at the top of the building. When we arrived at the studio the next day, we found the shouting direc- tor, Robert Striekle, and the camera man, Harry Forbes, putting on a play in which Marjorie Armstrong took the lead and Emma Jones appealed as her rival. We were taken to a large room where many gorgeous costumes were made, and we were surprised to find at the head a very capable and handsome woman. who the guide told us was Miss Flora Ncidermeyer. Ruth wanted a new hat, so we left after asking Flora where we could find a fashionable shop. We were informed that Madame Baeh's chic millinery shop was very popular among the players. Ruth was very glad to see us, and as we were talking, a tall, stout, very dark complexioned woman entered the shop. After a moment's hesitation she rushed toward us with a joyous greeting. lt was Lottie Grcenspon who had just returned from Africa where she had been as a missionary for the last five years, and from her we learned that Annalee Kyger was in China doing the same kind of work. As we were returning to where we had left my areoplane, we met. a suffra- gist parade led by Alice Gard who waved her banner at us. Her followers held various banners on which were printed, Vote for Miss V. Koehn , Vote for Women , and Vote for Miss H. Hawthorne . We stopped to see them pass and as we turned to go the proprietor of the barber shop, in front of which we THE AEGIS 53 were standing, stepped out and spoke to us. lt was our old class mate, Edgar Stevenson, looking the same, and he told us that John Barr was now a mem- ber of Congress and happily married. The girls left at noon and I started to Chicago where I had an appointment with the Richardson Areoplane Co. Of course when I arrived I was met by a couple of reporters but the one who interested me most was a tall lengthy fel- low commonly called Lanky Jennings , who was working for Garth Riddle, Editor of the Chicago Amerieann. We renewed acquaintances and he went with me to one of the largest banks in Chicago. As we arrived there the stately banker was just entering his car, and Jennings told me that this was George Morrison. He then went with me to the Areoplane building where l' was compelled to wait some time before I could get an interview with Mr. Rich- ardson. Mr. Jennings handed me two papers which he thought might be of some interest to me. One was from Peoria, the other from Bloomington. I11 the advertisement columns I found some strange ads. In Peoria's paper, Dancing taught by George Sloan, the Houston-Shaw shoe store, and an undertaker, Andrew Jackson. Bloomington 's paper advertised the Messrs. D. Brown and T. Bean tailors, the Strange Motor Company, among the dentists I found the name of Stephen Bottenberg, and among the doctors, Raymond Wakely. The next day, instead of returning directly to New York, I went to Bloom- ington for a visit. Here I stayed for a week with Miss Gillespie, a well known story writer. At. one time she had run short of story material and had looked up the history of all the members of the Senior class in hopes of getting a plot for a story. Among those married were Lois Vasey, Esther Curtis, Ozilline Davis, Adelaide Riggg and Pauline Nelle was living on a ranch out west. Harold Greene was married to one of last ycar's Alumnae and was living on a farm. Myrta Conner was teaching school in Shirley where Grace Kimber had a position as a commercial artist. Mabel Niedermeyer was secretary for the mayor of our city, and Estella Paulsen was running a beauty parlor. Ada Saddler was head of the Y. W. C. A., and Gladys Enlow and Louise Hartson were at the head of the old ladies' home. Maine Salzman and Elizabeth Slick, two handsome widows, had established a kindergarten: and Dorothy Shields and Mary Thompson were history teachers in Indiana. Among the boys, Gustaf Johnson was now a chautauqua orator, Elmer Nelson an inventor, and Howard Nelson a novelist while Wilson Bean had be- come a psychologist. Willis Lundgren was employed an insurance agent: Myron Tee had joined the army and had become Colonel Tee, while Leroy Yol- ton had become a noted scientist. Dallas Donnan was running a confectionery shop, and Chester Castle was proprietor of one of Bloomington 's largest thea- tres at which Mlle. Rosemond gave frequent concerts. In that week I visited the old High School where Paul Watkins, our class president, was the Principal. Some of thc teachers were: Vcrgne Greiner, Athletics, John Gerling, German, Erma Brumme, Domestic Science, Charlotte Howard, Gymnasium, Marcie Pierce, English, Thelma Boso, Trigonometry, Elizabeth Zimmerman, Chemistry, and May Waldman had taken the place of Miss Onstatt as librarian. After my week 's visit I started home but as I passed over the High School l lost control of my machine, and falling, landed on thc tall chimney and was about to descend into it when suddenly-A'Madamoiselle has been most patient. 54 THE AEGIS HALLOWEEN PARTY. The Halloween Party of this year took place at Brumme 's farm, twenty miles out of town on November 4. The Seniors and Juniors went out in cars, some losing their way. The home was turned over to the merry makers but most of the time was spent in the field by a great bonfire. Games were played in which all took part and at a reasonable hour our respective chaperones re- turned with us to the city. HARD TIMES PARTY. On April 26, the Junior Class gave their first party with the Seniors as guests. lt was held at Munson 's farm. The students were going out in cars and everyone hoped it wouldn't rain but it did anyway. Hayracks were at the station to meet the crowd and after much laboring on the part of the horses through the mud they reached their destination. The evening was spent in playing games and although the ice-cream didn 't come everyone enjoyed the eats. And most everyone had a fine time except those whose mothers found mending awaiting them in the morning. OUR BIT There is no Senior Party to chronicle this year-the year that America declared war that the world might be made safe for democracy. The Seniors thought that they, too, could 'tdo their bit and so saerified the annual party and instead presented the money in the treasury to the Red Cross. It may not be seemly to boast of ourselvesg but really we are proud of the class of '17, for so truly exemplifying the spirit of 1917. THE SENIOR PLAY. Friday and Saturday, May 11 and 12, the Seniors presented The Fortune Hunter in the auditorium. The story deals with a parasite, Nat Duncan, who goes to a country town with the sole purpose of marrying some village girl who has plenty of money. His patron arms him with sundry rules, and Nat follows them all. To marry ll country girl with money is so ridiculously easy, that the hero turns to the more interesting conquest, of an independent bit of femeninity called Betty HI-I FORTUNE HYQNTER IT 56 THE AEGIS Graham. As a result, he builds up a bankrupt pharmacy and brings about pros- perity for himself. The leading parts were exceptionally well taken. THE PAST. Nat Duncan, the fortune hunter .............

ABOUT US NVhen a mighty band of freshmen, into high school we did throng, we made a reputation by our pep, our pluck. our song. The teachers wondered at us for our brilliancy and sense, and the Seniors asked us Sophies for our jitneys and our pence. As Juniors proud and haughty as peacocks often seem, we selected for our leader, one Mi ter Clarence Bean. And now as noble Seniors, we take on us one and all, the burdens of the high school, an example to the small. We gladly 'tend the lectures, all the plays, and act as guides, leave with Mothers' Club our nickels, give the Juniors auto rides. VVith Paul Watkins as our president, we elect R. Strange as vice: for our treasurer, Miss Gillespie, for we thought just three were nice. But now our labors ended, we part with sighs and tears, with vast supplies of wisdom to start on our careers. o,,o vo SU ' 4. L Z 'E E 95 EL z x 60 President ....... Vice-President . . . .

Seven of last year 's B men were on hand: Captain McMurry, Gottschalk, Riddle, Strange, Nelson, Fitzgerald, and Stevenson. These together with some forty other candidates constituted what appeared to be a very promising squad. Under Coach McCord 's direction they soon began to round into shape for the inauguration of the season. Pontiac the First The first game was against Coach Hinshaw is Pontiac High proteges and B .H. S. won 19-6. Every member of the squad was given a chance in this first encounter of the season and the new material showed up unusually well. The Livingston County lads put up a splendid fight the first half and neither team was able to score. Condition and fresh players sent in by Coach McCord began to tell and two minutes after the third quarter started, Big Fitz plowed through the Pontiac defense for the first touchdown of the game. Strange soon after scored on a neat forward pass. Pontiac then took a brace and after a series of wide end runs finally pushed the ball over for their lone score. The local contingent scored again a few minutes later when Oliver recovered a fumble back of the goal line. This ended the game which was one of the cleanest exhibitions ever witnessed on Wilder Field. Fitzgerald started his 1916 career with a rush and set a merry pace throughout the encounter. Nelson and Riddle also did some valiant work. That Jinx Again The Capitol City hoodoo of fifteen long yearis standing still remains, although the Bloomington crew made a mighty effort to break the jinx which has hovered so long over the Springfield contests. Springfield High 's team of veterans considerably outweighed Coach McCord 's Speed Boys. The first half was evenly contested, although the visitors scored one touchdown. Two touchdowns in the last half gave the Red and Black warriors a total of 19 points, while the Bloomington squad were unable to solve the visitor 's defense. This game, in sharp contrast to the one a week previous, was marred by rough play. Two Springfield men were forced out via this route and penalties were fre- quent. The local defense was ragged and the line was unable to withstand the plunging Springfield backs. Gottschalk together with Leitch and Tee fought the hardest while Maee's work in advancing the ball was noteworthy. Swamped at Champaign Putting up the poorest exhibition of the entire season, Bloomington High was fioored by Champaign the next Saturday 32-0. The weather was any- thing but ideal for a football game. An inch or more of snow covered half the field while mud covered the other half. Nearly fifty spectators were present to witness the jamboree. Champaign High, although outweighed, had the necessary drive and pep to outfight the locals. At no time was the final out- come in doubt. The Bloomington line was woefully weak, the Champaign backs puncturing it at will. The punting also was below standard due to the soggy field and wet ball. There were no ,scintillating stars unless Gottschalk, who put up his usual good ,ganlegand,accomplished more than his share of the defensive work. It might be stated here that ChampaigniHigh was awarded the 1916 Championship of the state outside of Cook County. THE AEGIS 65 The Manual Battle Peoria Manual appeared at Wilder Field the following week end and the local gladiators proceeded to drop their third game. lnability to solve the Man- ual system of forward passes during the first half of play was largely the cause for this defeat, the visitors executing their aerial attack seemingly at will. This was due to lack of team work between the Bloomington backs and ends. They came back strong in the last half and more than held Manual to even terms. The 21 point lead gained by Peoria in the first stanza could not be overcome however, and the contest ended 21-0. The game was more stubbornly contested than the score indicates. Oliver and Garrigus performed the best while a certain Springston was the whole show for the River City eleven. The Come-back On Nov. 4 the undefeated Peoria High team was the victim of Blooming H- ton's sensational come-back in a game fairly sparkling with clever football. After getting away to a poor start and allowing Peoria to chalk up a touch- down two minutes after the first whistle, Coach McCord 's aggregation came back and outfought their opponents the remainder of the game. A shake up in the lineup seemed to be largely instrumental in trimming Peoria Central. Garrigus at quarter used excellent judgment in the selection of his plays. Both Leitch and Mace had a big afternoon snatching Riddle's long aerial heaves. Bill scored two touchdowns after nailing passes and making pretty sprints through the broken field. Pete McMurry made his debut in this game, being sent in by Coach McCord to try a drop kick at a difficult angle. His bad shoulder prevented him from remaining long in the fray. Nelson 's and Gottschalkis defensive work was an important factor in the victory. The final standing was 19-9, with Peoria Central holding down the light end of the score. Urbana Also Bows The Peoria Central victory proved a stimulus to the Purple and Gold squad and by the next week-end they had gained enough momentum and increased their pep sufficiently to romp home a 7-0 victor over Urbana. lt was a rough looking crew that invaded Urbana that Saturday, the local squad being decked out in their oldest apparel. White collars and the like were strictly tabooed. The entire team was fitted out in well worn mackinaws, high top boots, sweaters, etc. A few weeks previous Champaign was played at Champaign and the Bloomington High squad were said to have resembled a bunch of tailors' models instead of a football team-hence the cause for the C'oxy's army effect on this trip. After a gruelling contest, one not decided till the final whistle blew, B .H. S. emerged victorious. The lone score of the game was Riddle's touchdown, the result of a successful line plunge. There were no individual stars, the entire team putting up a consistent game. The Decatur Massacre Bloomington High 's poor generalship was responsible for the 42-7 defeat at the hands of Decatur. The R-ed and White were represented by a formidable 66 THE AEGIS eleven but would have been no match for Coach MeCord's proteges, had the local quarterbacks used the proper judgment in selecting the formations and plays. The best shifts and plays, the ones which had netted the best gains in the last few contests, were not used in this game. lnstead straight football was resorted to with the above result. Much ground was lost on the exchange of punts. lt was indeed a bitter pill for the hundred or more loyal rooters who accompanied the team. Decatur started with an early lead. Blooming- ton's lone counter was the result of a blocked punt by Nelson, after which Gottsclialk picked up the pigskin and accompanied by Big Fitz ran 45 yards for a touchdown. Gottschalk and Nelson were the only ones who came near to playing up to their usual. standard. The Big Game On November 25 Oak Park of Chicago appeared with their heavyweight squad of 22 players on Wilder Field to match their gridiron skill with Bloom- ington High. A hard smashing attack minus a single let up allowed the Purple and Gold to annex a 21-14 win. lt was probably the greatest game ever won by Bloomington High on the gridiron. The contest furnished a thrill a minute and time after time the spectators were driven mad by the spectacular exhibi- tion. The result was a surprise to both teams. Starting as the under dogs. Bloomington soon showed they were playing the game of their lives and were making a valiant attempt to fittingly terminate their gridiron season, Oak Park on the other hand had not been overrated as they had a truly wonderful aggregation who put up a splendid fight. They could not solve the Blooming- ton style of open play however, Riddle heaving pass after pass far down the field into the waiting arms of Leitch and Macc for long gains. Nor were the Cook County lads able to stop the terrific plunges of the local backs. B. H. S. had the better of their opponents in all departments except in punting. Here the Chicagoans were the better and resorted to punts many times during the game. Oak Park scored first, from a forward pass over the goal line. A few minutes later Strange carried the ball over on a line plunge and the half ended 7-7. The third quarter was marked by many sensational passes and sprints through the broken field. Oak Park registered again in this period on end runs and line plunges, giving them a lead 14-7. Bloom- ington revived and Mace went over for the touchdown which tied the score. Strange repeated a few minutes later and put the Purple and Gold in the lead 21-14. A sturdy defense then kept Oak Park from scoring and with the ball in Bloomington's possession the referee 's whistle sounded. Picking individual stars would be impossible as every man easily turned out his best performance of the season. . Personnel of the Team Harry McMurry, captain of the team, was unfortunately unable to com- pete this fall due to injuries. Pete,' injured his shoulder last winter during the basketball season. At first it was believed that this would not seriously interfere with his gridiron activities. However the injured member caused the big captain considerable trouble, and in the hopes of a permanent recovery, he was forced to give up athletics for the year. McMurry was a brilliant per- former not only on the gridiron but also in a basket ball uniform and on the tennis court. The versatile tackle should make a wonderful showing next fall. THE AEGIS 67 Gottschalk at tackle played a whale of a game all season. Del was in the midst of every scrinnnage and was a demon on defense. Nearly every football critic gave him a well deserved berth on their Central lllinois all star selection. Gottschalk will lead the team next fall and should end his career in a blaze of glory. Swede Nelson, the big center, has played his last game in a Purple and Gold uniform. Swede was a veteran player and proved to be a bulwark of strength in the initial trench all season. His size and weight together with his experience and uncanny ability to solve the opponent 's plays were the chief reasons for his success on the gridiron. Riddle played exceptional ball all season. Doc was a consistent ground gainer at half back and showed up well at quarterback whenever called upon. Some forward passes too! Another sterling performer lost by graduation. Tee, a member of the 1913 squad, re-entered school and appeared once more in -a Bloomington High uniform. Mike's work at tackle or on end was note- worthy and he stopped more than his share of the enemy 's attacks. As a result he was given a place on the Twin City High School eleven. Strange, a regular for the last two seasons, receives his diploma and will be lost to the eleven next fall. He was a backtield man, performing at fullback most ot' the time where he played consistent ball. Greiner, playing his first year of football, developed into a first class player. Despite his lack of experience, he showed up well in the baekfield or at one of the extremities. lt is to be regretted that he did not appear for the team sooner. Stevenson, another Senior, proved an invaluable man and has played every position in the line during the last two seasons. Ed 's size and weight combined with his fighting spirit always held up his side of the line in grand style. Fitzgerald, the heavyweight of the local aggregation, proved a hard prop- osition for the opposing teams. Fitz tips the beams at 200 lbs. and puts all his weight to good use. Unfortunately he was bothered with an injured ankle which handicapped him most of the season. Big Fitz will probably be among the missing next fall. Garrigus will also be among the absent when the call is sounded next fall. Shorty will be past the age for interscholastic competition. His work at quarter was of a stellar nature and although small, he was always good for a gain. Mace, also a backlield man, will be back for another season. This was his first year and he developed rapidly, always taking care of his position in splendid style. Fast and shifty on his feet an adept at catching passes, his work was a feature in nearly every game. Oliver was a clever, hard working player whose consistent playing won him a regular berth on the team. Tom, although smaller and lighter than any of his opponents, broke up the plays headed towards his position with startling regularity. Great things are expected of this boy next year. Leitch played brilliant football at end and to circle his extremity was almost an impossibility. Besides being a hard tacklcr, Doc Yak rivaled Mace in snagging the long aerial heaves, and gained lots of ground. Yes, Bill will be back next fall to claim his position. 68 THE AEGIS Munsell, though handicapped by lack of experience, was a persistent, hard working lineman. He possessed the necessary weight and drive to stop the enemy 's onslaughts. Munsell also played in the backfield some and next year at either place should be one of the main cogs in the local machine. Hasbrouck fitted in the line well whenever called upon. Ted was a hard working player and showed lots of fight and pep on the field at all times. He had the right spirit and will be heard from next fall. Grant, a new-comer from Horton, Kansas, was given a chance at an end and in the backfield. His weight kept him from a regular assignment but he can be counted upon next year. Dunn, appearing in a high school uniform for the first time, was played at half back and end where he acquitted himself well. Ed has the necessary drive for a good haekfield man, and will come back strong next season. Rogers is another eomer . Fat knows enough football and is large enough to develop into a first class lineman. His work was noteworthy this season. Greene, a Senior, held down a line position. part of the season. His size and weight were his chief assets and he proved to be a stone wall on defense. Forbes, also a Senior, made a good showing the first part of the season till injuries forced him out of the game. Forbes was an end. Norton, Strickle, Duncan, Nevins, G. Johnson, Rowley, Gerling, Black, Small, Gregg, Donahue, Anderson, F. Johnson, Gilberts, McConkie, Pierce, Epstein and Gordon all appeared on Wilder Field more or less consistently throughout the season. They were largely instrumental in whipping the reg- ulars into condition. .Some will be back next year and will be greatly bene- fitted by their year of' experience gained this fall. The prospects for a winner are bright. BASKET BALL Bloomington Lincoln .... Bloomington Lexington .... Bloomington Freeport ...... Bloomington Peoria Central. Bloomington Springfield . . .

Although unable to repeat last year's achievement of winning the state championship, the whirlwind quintet swept through their strenuous schedule of 18 games with the loss of but 3, two of these being dropped by a very small margin. Not a game was lost on the local court, the three defeats occurring abroad. The Wonder Five as they were better known, went through the District Tourney in good style, thereby qualifying for the State Finals. In the classic which was staged at Decatur 3 of the 4 contests played were won by decisive scores. Their only defeat came at the hands of Springfield in a heart breaking game. Springfield as a result won the championship honors. Coach McCord arranged his indoor schedule so that the first half of the games might be played abroad i11 order that the new gym might be entirely finished before the long grind of home games began. Practice began after the gridiron schedule was closed and as soon as access could be gained into the new gymnasium. About sixty candidates turned out at Coach McCord 's call. Last year's championship squad was intact with the exception of C. Bean and McMurry, although Morrison was temporarily ineligible. Ex-Captain Mc- Murry's shoulder prevented him from competing. Garrigus, a member of the 1912-13-14 squads, was on hand and many other prospects turned out. The squad was cut down somewhat and settled down to the long grind of practices. The Season The season opened at Lincoln and the game closed with Bloomington lead- ing 18-15. A bare two weeks of practice, a small playing space and the absence of some of the regulars from the fray, almost formed a combination strong enough to floor the Purple and Gold squad. A furious rally in the last four minutes of play however netted the locals enough points to cinch the game. Merry, an ex-collegiate player, scored every point registered by Lincoln. Dudes Bean and Mace played the stellar' roles for B. H. S. and fittingly inaugurated their 1916-17 careers. Lexington High was the next victim and they were handed the light end of a 43-11 count. The entire squad was given a chance in this contest. At no time was the final outcome in doubt. Mace, Greiner and Jennings contributed all of Bloomington's points to the scoring column and played the best ball. On New Year's Day Coach McCord took his pupils to Freeport for an engagement with their heavyweights. The effects of the long 140 mile jaunt, combined with a slippery floor, poor officiating and rough tactics employed by the Freeport squad, played havoc with the local tossers. The final standing was 44-17 in favor of the Upstaters . Mace was the hero of the struggle and rolled up 13 of the 17 points. The remainder of the team were off form and furnished a poor exhibition for the large holiday crowd in attendance. Peoria High was next and Bloomington fittingly C?j dedicated Peoria's magnificent new gymnasium by trouncing their team 21-17. The contest was fast and hotly contested, there being no more than 4 points separating the two tives at any time. A special car of fans accompanied the Purple and Gold. and were responsible in a large measure for the victory. Bean put up a stellar exhibition of guarding as well as dumping in a few ringers from the center of the floor. v 5 x- f . ii 72 THE AEGIS The following week end Coach McCord and his Speed Boys traveled to Springfield for the last game abroad. Although they made a desperate effort to avenge the gridiron defeat of a few months previous, the Purple and Gold were downed 20-16 in a hard fought, exciting battle. The guarding was below standard, the Springfield sharpshooters seemingly shooting at will. For the locals Bean and Greiner showed up to the best advantage. On January 20 Bloomington High appropriately dedicated the new gym by defeating Decatur 27-11. Had the local tossers had any luck at all in con- necting with the rim, the margin would have been much larger as they out- classed their opponents in every other department of the game. The first half was closely contested and ended 9-7 in favor of Bloomington. lt was not until the second half that they began to hit their stride and roll up the score. Toward the end of the encounter Coach McCord added insult to injury by sending in his reserves to finish the contest. The new combination proved a puzzle to Decatur. Morrison made his debut in this game and began his last and most successful season in a Purple and Gold uniform. He and Mace held the oppos- ing forwards scoreless through out the entire forty minutes. Gill, the elon- gated center, scoring every point for Decatur. Garrigus, Greiner and Bean divided the scoring honors evenly for B. H. S. Bloomington climbed still a notch higher in scholastic standing the next week. Joliet was the victim of the smooth-working local machine, and the final decision was 33-16. Until the last eight minutes of play thc locals barely led the northern quintet. At this juncture B. began to tighten up and played circles around the Prison City crew. The victory in a way avenged the defeat at the hands of Freeport a few weeks earlier. The ent.irc squad played good ball against Joliet, Mace in particular distinguishing himself by his basket shooting. Richardson gave a good account of himself when he went in, scoring 3 baskets in as many minutes of play. Peoria Manual came next in order and likewise succumbed before the hard smashing attack of Coach McCord 's proteges. The Pretzel City lads didn't have a chalice and for the first 18 minutes of scrimmage were held scoreless by the local guards, Morrison and Mace. Grciner blazed a. merry pace during the entire melee and Mace had a good night on free throws tossing 8 of 10 tries. Peoria Central furnished the entertainment the following week and accom- panied by somc hundred followers made a valiant attempt to return home with a victory. They started out well and hit the rim with startling regularity for the first few minutes of scrimmage. The Bloomington gladiators soon fixed their collective eye on thc basket and easily passed their opponents. The final count was 35-14. Bean and Morrison featured in this contest. In the last game before the tournament Springfield was defeated here. The tilt was a good exhibition and the first stanza ended with the local tossers ahead 9-8. Luck seemed to be against the locals in the first period, shot after shot being missed. They revived in second half and outplayed their Capitol City opponents. The game closed with Blomington leading 30-16. Coach McCord presented a new lineup to the fans in this game. Gottschalk of foot- ball fame was assigned to a guard post, relieving Mace who was shifted back to forward, his natural role. Incidentally it was these two lads together with Creincr who were the scintillating stars of the tussle. THE AEGIS 73 The District Tourney The tournament was held in the local high school gym this year and eight- een Central Illinois teams competed. ,Bloomington High drew Lincoln for their initial contest and on Thursday night defeated this team 44-4. At no time was Lincoln dangerous and the B. H. S. seconds finished. Bean and Greiner furnished most of the markers and played the best ball. On Friday evening Mason City by dint of their defeat of Fairbury the previous evening, won the right to face the Purple and Gold contenders. They were likewise stopped 33-10. Mason City put up a game fight for a few min- utes at the first of the game. They were unable to withstand the terrific pace set by the local tossers and soon were hopelessly in the rear. It was in this game Dudes broke his finger, thereby giving the Bloomington followers an awful scare. Gottschalk and Mace were the shining lights. ln the semi-finals Saturday afternoon B .H. S. met U. High and defeated them 36-16. The game was a bitter struggle and much harder fought than the score indicates. Despite the intense rivalry, it was a clean hard fought game throughout. The entire team furnished a stellar brand of ball. Bean, con- trary to the expectations of the fans, was allowed to start the game and al- though handicapped by two fingers in a splint, tossed six beautiful ringers. Morrison and Gottschalk furnished one of the best exhibitions of guarding ever witnessed on the local court, breaking up play after play. Mace and Greiner also played their usual star role and annexed 20 points between them. But one team now lay between Bloomington and another District cham- pionship, this being Clinton. The DeNVitt County lads by playing over their heads almost downed the Purple and Gold. The first half ended 7-4 in favor of Clinton after a listless exhibition. Clinton maintained their advantage through most of the last half much to the growing alarm of the local followers. With five minutes to play Clinton was leading 16-11, and things looked bad indeed. At this juncture Garrigus and Jennings, replaced Mace and Bean respectively who were rapidly tiring. The local crew then took a decided brace. Goals by Morrison and Garrigus tied the score and a second later Morrison tossed another from the center. Gottschalk further increased the lead by registering the longest shot of the entire tournament. Both teams then scored on a free throw and the timer 's gun exploded with Bloomington on the defense idly passing the ball around under Clinton 's basket. The game ended 19-15 and B. H. S. was again District Champion. To Garrigus goes the greatest honor as he was the one to start the rally terminating in the great victory. Shorty was all over the fioor at once and easily turned out the best game of his career. Gottschalk and Morrison also played great ball. The officials placed Bean, Greiner and Morrison on their first all star five, and Mace on the second selection. The Press put all four of' these players on its honorary quintet with Gottschalk as a guard on the second all star. The State Finals Oak Park of Chicago was booked to play here between tournaments but due to the small pox scare, it was decided to cancel the game at the eleventh hour. Only the state finals at Decatur then remained and on Thursday, March 74 THE AEGIS 8, the Purple and Gold embarked for the tournament. They met and defeated Decatur High that evening in their first game 18-12. lt was a remarkable ex- hibition of how the indoor game should be played. Mace was high scorer with 12 points in his column. Morrison 's guarding was also noteworthy. Duquoin was next encountered, on Friday afternoon. They put up a better tight than was expected and the Purple and Gold had to content themselves with the high end of a 15-10 score. Mace was again high man compiling 10 of the 15 markers for his team. Greiner and Bean did exceptional work. In thc semi-finals on Saturday afternoon Springfield was the antagonist. Soon after the game started the crowd realized that they were witnessing the real championship game. Thanks to Referee Shipley 's eagle eye Mace went out via the personal foul route after but seven minutes of play. lt was a battle of speed and science versus size and strength. The first stanza ended with the Red and Black in the lead 7-5. Bloomington came back strong however and played their opponents on even terms. The score was knotted at 9 all and a minute and a half to go. Bloomington fouled and Springfield made the throw putting them a point to the good. Then in the last few seconds of play, they batted in two ringers in rapid succession, running the score up to 14-9. lt was a heart breaking finish and the team seemed to play under a jinx throughout the encounter. Time after time the local tossers would put the ball in the basket, only t.o have it roll out again. The officiating was extremely close. Greiner played the best ball and scored the most points. Gottsehalk and Morrison also fought hard and showed up well. By dropping the Springfield game, Bloomington was compelled to play Peoria Manual for third place. Neither team was especially desirous of per- forming Saturday night. No time was taken out between halves and the game progressed for forty minutes without a stop. It was by no means an exhibition of basket ball, just forty minutes of frolicking around the floor. At the finish it was discovered B. H. S. had won 20-6. Bean and Mace were the heavy scorers of the tussle. Although Bloomington High did not return home again with the cham- pionship honors, they put up a game fight and made a splendid showing. They fared well in the all star selections, Mace and Morrison being awarded berths on the officials' all star team. Bean and Gottschalk on the second five. Bloom- ington High also furnished the highest individual scorer of the entire tourna- ment, this honor falling to Layard Mace. After all third place isn't such a had rank with which to be honored considering that the teams in the state finals were thirteen strongest ot' over two hundred and fifty quintcts. Vergne Gi-einer, captain, completes his high school course. He was a hard- working consistent player and possessed the qualities necessary for a success- ful captain. His leadership and fighting spirit saved many games. Mace. captain-elect, played brilliant ball all season. ln nearly every game his floor work and basket tossing were features. Some of his long shots bor- dered on the sensational. Bean at center did not meet his equal and was not outplayed at any time during the season. Dudes always played a star role and will be missed next winter. THE AEGIS 75 Morrison, the big guard, was an invaluable player. His size, weight and speed contributed largely to making him the sensation he was. Scotch won a place on every first all star team selected at both the District and State tournaments. ' Gottschalk of football fame developed into one of the most consistent players on the squad. He made an excellent running mate for Morrison and the opposing forwards found it almost impossible to get by him. Richardson played both at guard and forward. Norty was the fastest man on the floor at all times and was terror to the opposing guards. He grad- uates this spring. Jennings, a Senior, will also be lost next season. Minnie could be relied upon at either a center or forward berth. He handles the ball exceptionally well and is an accurate shot. Garrigus, the diminutive member of the squad had a fine eye for the basket and was a fast floor man. Shorty 's best work was in the Clinton game of the District Tournament. MeConkie and Strange, a forward and guard, respectively, completed the 1916-17 squad. Both were dependable players and performed consistently in the majority of the games. Of these ten men Mace, bottschalk and McConkie will return next fall. Coach Mcl'ord will have a nucleus for a fast quintet in these three however. In addition a large number of promising tossers who came out this year should develop into formidable candidates. Among the prospects will be MaGirl, Leitch, Blackburn, Oliver, Bolin, Franks, Phillips, Fuller, Sholtz, Johnson, Kitchell. Xt TRACK Bloomington High was represented this spring by the best track team that we have turned out for several seasons. Track in recent years has not been as much of a success as football. or basket ball. However this year the Purple and Gold was represented by a very formidable and well balanced team in this branch of athletics. But three meets were scheduled, dual encounters with Clinton and Springfield and the Interscholastie at El Paso. Vontinued inclement weather handicapped the team considerably and most of the drills were carried on i11doors. Some of the most consistent performers left school after the El Paso lnterseholastie to work 011 fil1'lllS. Most of the large interscholastic classics were not staged this year, and many high schools were 11ot even represented in spring athletics. ln consideration of these conditions, the Bloomington High track team disbanded after the El Paso Interscholastic. The season, although brief, was very successful and at splendid showing was made. Coach Mcl'ord called out his track candidates at the close of the basket ball season. About thirty aspirants answered the call. Gustaf Johnson was appointed captain and Nelson, Stevenson, Richardson, Munsell and Ploense of last year's squad, together with Striekle of the 1915 team, were on hand. An abundance of promising new material also appeared and from the start, prospects were bright. There was no Field Day this year and the first meet was the annual dual affair with t linton. By a brilliant finish Bloomington High won out, 60-53. The -1. 1, .,- ...,,fh.. ,, L 1- ' 1' 1+ 'I-I TZ- ,,-z., - -1.-11. x .J . ,Tj-.5',: 5 ., f .

First one squad, then the other, would leap into a short lead. With only the relay to run the Purple and Gold were leading, 55-53. I11 this event Coach McCord's crew out-distanced their opponents and as a result won the meet. Strickle was the individual high scorer, with three firsts in as many events. Uaptain Johnson easily won both distance runs and was not pushed except by his teannnate, MaGi1'l. nichardson's work was also noteworthy, he winning the broad jump by an excellent margin. Munsell and Stevenson also contributed to the score with firsts in their respective events. The following was the summary: Vaptain Johnson-First i11 the mile and half mile. Strickle-First in the 50, 100 and 220-yard dashes. Richardson-First in the broad jump and third in the 100-yard dash and shot put. Munsell-First in the javelin throw, tied for second in the high jump: third in the broad jump. Stevenson-First in the pole vault. Maflirl-Second in the mile and half mile. Nelson-Second in the discus throw. lf'uller-Third in the 440-yard dash. The two-fifths of a mile relay was won by the Bloomington team composed of Richardson, Fuller, Davis and Striekle. Time-1:21. Un Saturday. April 28, a dual meet was scheduled with Springfield at Spring- field. A muddy field and heavy track necessitated the canceling of this meet. Coach Mcfford entered his team i11 the El Paso Interscholastie May 5, where his 'tknights of the cinder pathi' made a wonderful showing. They finished second out of the large list of entries and but one point behind the winners. Peoria Manual with 23 points carried away first honors. U. High and Washing- ton tied for third place with 16 points. . Again Strickle was high man, with 13 points. 'tBob easily won both the 100 and 220-yard dashes and after a poor start and a bad lane, took second in the 50-yard sprint. Munsell won the javelin throw in handy style. Captain Johnson was barely nosed out in the mile, his favorite event, but with MaGirl took second and third places respectively. Bloomington High took second in the half mile relay, crossing the tape but a yard behind Peoria Manual, the winners. Captain Johnson, Strickle, Richardson, Stevenson, Nelson and Huston- Shaw receive their diplomas this spring and will not be back for another sea- son. Munsell, MaGirl, Davis, Fuller, Ploense, and Anderson will return next year and should form a nucleus for a well balanced team. 2 4 .1 2 n Tuesday VVednesday Thursday Friday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Monday Tuesday 'Wednesday Thursday Friday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Monday Tuesday NVednesday Thursday Friday Monday THE AEGIS 79 THE DAILY CHRONICLE September Enrollment Day.

Consider the White Blank. lt is a superfluous oblong of innocent appearance, malicious magnitude and deadly intent. Clad in the habiliments of peace yet it wageth war upon your grade. Solomon in all his wisdom could not evade one of these. lt hangeth over thy unlucky head like a sword. It is no respecter of persons. It visits the fat and lean, the shark and the drone, the freshman and the senior. .lt furnishes an ever unsolvable riddle in grades. lt hangs about your neck like a mill stone, yet must be borne from room to room. lt is a long and unwelcome visitor, staying with one even until the third and fourth months. lt causeth many a mother to lecture long and bitterly. lt is a creature of monstrous appetite, taking never less a slice than 5. lt causes more sleeplessness than Wall Street and wrecks more careers than the European war. Even the veteran skipper who sails the main of many vacations, heading his adventurous bark for the haven of pink blanks, cannot avoid forever the reef of white blanks and 8th hours. Why is a white blank? is the answer, W. W. the vigilance coin- mittee of one. The shades of 10,000 flunkers hover about thy office, Oh NV. W. with whirring wings and muttered 5's ! The road to F-L-U-N-K is paved with 'em !! As Football Looks to a Girl He made a run around the end Was tackled from the rear The right guard sat upon his neck The full-back on his ear. The center sat upon his legs Two ends sat on his chest The quarter and the half back then Sat down on him to rest. The left guard sat upon his head W' A tackle on his face The coroner was next called in To sit upon the case. .-.,,.,. To the Students of B. H.
