We have Woven this book around those old masters, their styles and mannerisms, wherever possible using the delightful old English of our acquaintances in Pickwick Papers , and endeavoring, through our art pages, to give our readers an idea of the fashions and cus- toms of that day. We have chosen as our central theme, those lines from Dickens' Christmas Carol - I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Futureg The Spirits of all three shall strive within me. l 5 TO OUR BELOVED HISTORY TEACHER BESS M. CASH who stimulates our interest in the birth and growth of our country, who creates in us a deeper realization of our individual responsibilities as future citi- zens of the United States, and Who will for- ever hold a big place in all our hearts, -We, the Senior Class of 1926, dedicate this book. 5 l l 1 3, Editor-iii-C11 iff Elizabeth Austin Literary Editors Doris Batterton Dorothy Benson Ruth Christopher Charlotte Harrington Marjorie Henderson Catherine Hoobler Virginia Plummer Mary Stevens A tlzletic Editors Arthur Jones Kenneth Van Sehoiek Art Editors Barbara Coolidge Arthur Stone Organization Editors Ruth Ahlenius Emily Davidson Zillah Jump Judith Vtletzel The Staff Alumni Editors Hannah Oelis Eloise Pierce Busiizess Illrmagor XVilliam Ahlenius Assistant Business Managers Edward Ahlenius Roy Anderson 'Fheodore Colteaux Harold Ensinger Edward Heister Latham Hulva VVillis Johnson Robert Price Paul Rainsberger Aaron Rhodes Irvin VValdman Recording Editors Mary Mellinn tiraee Roeke Ilumorous Editors Margret Payne Leo Zalueha Assembling Editors Sybil Bankson William Hanover 8 A 8 A- xg?

The regular meetings of the club are held in Room 114 every third Monday ot each month. The dues are twenty-five cents per year. The object is, t'To bring into closer relation the home and the school that parents and teachers may co-operate intelligently in the training of the youth. The social lite ot the High School pupil differs so radically from the grade school pupil, that We feel it advisable to organize our club for a different purpose, than that for which the grade school Parent Teacher Association is organized. The programs are on subjects of vital interest to parents, handled by men and women who are making a careful study ot the present day problems. At the September meeting, Mr. McDowell spoke ot Ways by which We could improve school and community. The October meeting was three fold in its purpose, a chicken supper, Dads night, and an address by Francis G. Blair, State Superin- tendent of Schools. Dr. Neuman, a well-known educator from the East, Was the speaker for the November meeting. At the January meeting Rev. Baillie gave a heart to heart talk on boy and girl problems. He urged the necessity of parents raising their standard of reading. Future programs will be handled hy such men as Professor M. R. Staker of Normal University. In February a Colonial tea, in commemoration ot George Vilashington 's birth- day, Was held in the girl 's gym. The program consisted ot music and readings followed by a social hour. The present officers are: Mrs. Blake Leach, President, Mrs. S. YV. Bodman, Vice-President, Mrs. John Alexander, Second Vice-President, Mrs. Perry La- Bounty, Secretary, Mrs. R. R. Boss, Treasurer. 14 If lx.:- If 311:51 sian: Etiizzj ll x 53' Q F X Qs c Y jf. 25 2-Q2 Wie ra ,, 45vAx5 X ,H A59 'A 1 ,lr 45 F - 'al V All ' K ll 1' 'H W i ' AA The Classes 'A i i AA' nd yei ihis scene has iis qfolesque 'A A1 gather for companions ipfare fhe liiile bo s 'lf , ff' - ' l .

The January Class ot '26 has set the paee for those who tollow-its members reeeived the formal reeognition ot their eompleted labors in February instead of Waiting to mareh up for their diplomas with the June graduates. It was a brave step and a fitting' one. Year by year, the number ol' students Who finish in the 1nid year grows larger. It is only natural that these should wish immediate graduation, though June, the month ol' Roses may seem more admirable to the HSweet tlirl Graduate' than frosty February. For the past four years, the elementary sehools of Bloomington have seen the necessity for separate exereises for their January elasses. Now, it has been well proved ihat our high sehool is eapable ol' similar ac-tion. Let us eongratulate the January Class olf 5263! 15 AIILEIQIVS, EDWARD I ' Ed ' ' UF01' his were feelings Hiiolg ivrozlglzt. , ' Aegis Staff Football, Track Hi Y Club Debating Society Band Biology Club Stage Managei' Vice-Pres.

They are as follows: Henry Smith, President, Ruth Gates, Vice-President, and Jane Howell, Secretary-Treasurer. The 1926 Junior Class o I' about one hundred thirty-five students is well rep-P resented in the Latin Club, Art League, Short Story Club, Dramatic Club, Girl Reserves, Ili-Y Club, Band and Orchestra. One o t' our members, VVillis Brown, is the winner of the Merwin Cup for the best short story. He also reports events ot' interest tor the Daily Bulletin, while Henry Smith, who is quite a cartoonist, runs a weekly review for our bulletin board. One of the outstanding features of the year was Ralph Bonny 's excellent play- ing and sportsmanship on the basketball team. He not only captured the cup given by the Illinois WCSlCj'Hl1 tor the school, but also the individual cup for sportsmanship awarded by the Pantagraph. Elmer Burwitz has also done ex- ceptional work on the team. VVe are certainly proud to claim these men as Juniors. Socially, two matinee dances were given. The first was held in December and the second in March. These were well attended and greatly enjoyed. As the school year ot 1926 nears its completion, the Juniors begin to realize that they have but one more year until the portals ot B. H. S. will close behind them. And while the work at times has seemed confining, they have learned that the interesting by far overbalances the uninteresting and that each incident will become an incentive tor acquiring further knowledge.

Beholdl On the ensuing pages of this literary masterpiece totherwise known as the Aegisj, our friends are to have the privilege of feasting their eyes upon the artistic reproduction of the Sophomore Class. The class wish to take this opportunity to congratulate the Aegis Staff for securing such an attractive addition to their book. Vkle hope that they realize the lnagnaminity of our class in donating said attraction, which, of course, ensures the success of this year ls Aegis. XVe entered school this year in high spirits, for were we not high and mighty sophs? Having arisen by the normal process of evolution from that barbaric stage of scholastic existence, sometimes referred to as the Freshman Age, we set. out to make ourselves conspicuous. VVe intended to accomplish something grati- fyingly original, something that would cause both Faculty and Student Body to hold forever in mighty esteem, the Class of '28 That ambition has been fully realized. Vile have members in nearly every school organization, very few, indeed, are the clubs so unfortunate as to be without at least one member of our illustrious and excellent class. VVC admit that Seniors are all right in their own way, and even Juniors are occasionally of some trivial value to the school. NVe have learned to tolerate Freshmen, for it is not in our power to abolish them. Also, we remember only too well that day when we, as Freshmen, sneaked in at the back door of B.H.S. But we cannot help asking, where would a school be without its Sophomores? XVho would supply the proper amount of pep necessary to the success of all proceedings? XVho would introduce Freshmen to the amenities of B.H.S. society and, incidentally, show them their limited sphere? And last but not least, how could our athletes dash on to victory without the constant support of that cheer- ful crowdwthe Sophomores? In conclusion, we invite you to look long and earnestly at the following pictures of the Sophomore Class, and note the superior intelligence plainly ex- hibited on each face, and moreover, the unexcellcd beauty of the feminine por- tion. Can you not see the makings of great Seniors written therein? NVe grieve that our picture was placed third in order, being preceded by those of the Senior and Junior Classes but we trust that 'llime which softens all trials and tribula- tions, will eventually place us at the head of the list.

Although it is our iirst year, we have entered into the spirit and all three hundred thirty-three ei' us-one hundred forty-three boys and one hundred ninety girls-are true loyal members of the sehool. NVe have our Freshiesl' in seven of the various sehool organizations--Band, Orchestra, Boys' Glee Club, Girls' Glee Club, Domesei, Agricultural, and Girl Reserves. Forty-five of us are in the Girl Reserve, more Freshmen being in this than in any other organi- zation. The Domesei Club has fifteen Freshmen and ranks seeond in number. Up to this time none of us have developed any special talent, but why worry now, when we have three years in whieh to let genius spring forth. As the old maxim goes--Time will tell.

It stands for the highest and best standards of life in the girl. It is not an easy honor to win. Only the girls who work faithfully, untiringly, and unceasingly for two school years may obtain it. There are certain fixed standards which a girl must live up to to acquire this ring. The girls who wear this ring, you may be sure, have lived up to these high ideals and are continuing to strive for the highest ideals of a girl. Lasttyear twelve girls were awarded this ring and this year seven more have reached their goal and received a ring.

The program for the year was an interesting one, including Halloween and Valentine parties, two plays given by the Drama group, a hike, Camp Reunion, Easter service, the writing of a newspaper, t'The Freshman Gleamf' and dis- cussional meetings. The Girl Reserves show friendliness and thoughtfulness for others. They stand high in school spirit and scholarship. Some of their kind deeds are: Dis- tributing Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets, sending toys to Indian children, singing Christmas carols, and taking part in a Christmas program at the Soldierls Orphans Home. All Girl Reserves are looking forward to the winning of the Girl Reserve Ring. It is the highest honor which may be awarded to any Girl Reserve. It stands for the finest of ideals and should mean real achievement on the part of the girl who wears it. The blue triangle on the silver disc of the ring is a sym- bol of the highest living toward which a Girl Reserve should strive through achievement of the three ideals of a perfect body, a keen mind, and a Christian spirit. 57 AG CLUB Top Vow Ulf! to Vifflfij : Robert Rengel, Amos Calkins, JUS4l1Jll Snow, Artlnu' Peepo, Russel Nl'ileoxson, Paul Johnson, Edwzml Custer.

At two of these meetings, Farm Advisor Harrison Farenkoph, and Superintendent McDowell gave talks. The aim of the club is to encourage love for country life among people, and to promote vocational agriculture at school and at home. ln the past year, the members of the club have produced and sold 34800.00 worth of produce to the people of Bloomington. The club has represented the School in three judging contests, which are as follows: Sectional : which includes Mellean and parts of Livingston, Tazewell, Logan, Dewitt, and Ford counties.

Probably the greatest event of the- ycar's program occurred when the Do- mcsci Club entertained the girls of the Domestic Art classes with their teachers, Miss Moulic and Miss Watkins. This party was attended by approximately one hundred and twenty-Eve girls. It has been the custom of our club to leave a gift to the Domestic Seienee Department.

The object ot tl1is organization is to stimulate greater interest in the classics and in the customs of the ancient Romans. Any student taking either sophomore, junior or senior Latin and having a certain average in his grades may become a member of this club. During the process of becoming a member, the 'tNeophytes' are put through the tires ot Hades and all the horrors therewith at the initiation which is held twice every school year. At each ot the regular meetings a presentation of a Roman custom is usually given, such as the rites ot augurs, a Roman wedding, the Saturnalia and a scene from the life ot Caesar. The climax ot' the year for the f'Cives Romaniw is the Roman banquet. This is carried out as nearly possible according to the Roman customs. This organization is by no means one-sided. The idea that it is as Hancient' as the language which it reveres, is very erroneous. There is no peppier club in B. H. S., none have more lively meetings and it is one ot only two which success- 'tully put over a real dance, last year. The Latin Club brought added glory upon itself by winning the first Intra-N Mural Championship. Perhaps the strictly Latin name by which these games. aplayed 'twithin the walls ot the school, were known appealed to this classical organization. At all events, save one, the team came out victorious. Although all the players were not members ot the club, they played under its colors and deserve the thanks ot' the entire organization. Two of these 'tborrowed athletes, Sams and Cannon, have been chosen on the First All-Star Team. The Latin Club offers its heartiest congratulations to these boys and regrets that it cannot claim them members otf the Res Publica Romana. 63 DRAMATIC CLUB Top Row: Dale Harris, Theodore Coltoaux, Paul Rainsherger, Emily Davidson, Thomas Steid- ley, Raymond Dooley, VVillis Brownn First Row: Mary McMinn, Hannah Ochs, Eleanor Tenney, Mr. Kurtz, Eloise Peirce, Catherine Trenkle, Anna Rosen. 64 'sf 'ff X X, 'Lf Dramatic Club t'LET?S ACT A drama in three acts-by P.

ICEENAN, Vice President ITENRY SMITH, S0cretm'y-Tfrensufer Banded together in a league of fifty-two, the art students of Bloomington High School are forging ahead in their splendid work under the efficient leader- ship of Miss Maude Smith, the Supervisor ot Art. The dominant spirit of the league is self-expression. Nurtured by their instructress, it manifests itself in the modeling of pottery, the tooling of leather, the designing and making of jewelry, weaving, parchment work, costume designing, home-planning, charcoal sketching, poster-painting' and pastel work. The Russell Art Room at the Public Library is ever a source of pleasure to the interested art student. An outstanding exhibit of the many held there, one of landscapes and portraits done in oils by eminent painters, was visited by the classes. Another exhibit well worth the student's time was the display ol? jewelry and enamels exhibited during the first week of March. The Art League does not believe in all work and no play. Halloween found the members gathered at the home of one ot the students, where they were de- lightfully entertained. A successful candy sale was given during the second semester, the proceeds of which will be used for the purchase of lantern slides for the study of archi- tecture. All are looking forward to the studio tea which will be held at the closing of the school year. At this time the work accomplished during the two semesters will be exhibited. 67 a 5 .61-an ewllfh.

The club tries its hand, collectively and individually, at all sorts of writing dividing itself into groups according to personal desire or ability. However, the event of most interest to the club each year and from the nature of which it takes its name, is the presentation ol' a silver cup by Mrs. L. B. Merwin to the member writing the best short story. The three judges for the year, Miss Hazel Funk, Miss Louise Kessler and Mr. Robert Vllilliams awarded the 1926 cup to Willis Browng Raymond Dooley received second place and Charlotte Harrington third. Virginia Plummer, Mary Stevens and Verneil Partlow were given honorable mention. Our membership changes in personnel each year and varies in number ac- cording to tavorable response to the tryout held in the Fall. The present mem- bership is unusually large consisting ot twenty-three chosen onesw initiated -according to the regular ritual. One event which must be Inentioned in connection with the club ol' last year is the picnic which took place after the Aegis had gone to press. The members, being only seven, invited guests and atter dining quite royally in a secluded spot 'tfar from the maddening crowd they journeyed to Atlanta where their unusual appearance caused various sensations at the movie which they attended. Ct this year 's social events it may be said that they lacked not in quality to bridge their want of quantity, for a Christmas party, a Valentine Party at the home of Grace Rocke and the annual Hall-day meeting , for which Madeleine Anderson entertained us are events to be remembered. During the year the club has been represented with poems in the t'Magazine NVorld and t'The Gleami' by Marjorie Henderson and Mary Stevens, two of its members, samples of our work has appeared in the Pantagraph and our Presi- dent is thc originator of the new School News Vlleekly which we hope will grow and flourish even as the S.

Goodier Tbe Hi-Y Club boasts oi' being one of the few clubs of the school which is affiliated with a national organization. There are Hi-Y clubs in practically every high school ot any size throughout the country. Our local club has completed successfully its fifth year, under the direction ot our new advisor, Mr. S. Arthur Chester. It has been largely through his help that our club has accomplished so much during the past year. The Hi-Y Club meets every Tuesday noon in the Music room following a luncheon in the cafeteria. Each meeting consists of either a talk by an outside speaker or Bible discussion led by some member of the club. Some of the speak- ers during the year have been: Mr. A. R. Freeman, State Boys' Work Secretary ot the Y. M. C. A., E. J. Cautz, Field Secretary of the United Y. M. C. A. schools, Franklin H. Brown, National Y. M. C. A. Director of Physical Educa- tion ot Japan, Professor E. L. Thrasher ot Illinois Vilesleyan University, Super- intendent S. K. McDowell, Principal W. A. Coodier, Rev. Durden and Rev. Grubb, of this city. Some ot the topics of the Bible discussions were: Living Together in School, The Measure of a Manf' t'Democracy in the School, The Needs ot the School,'7 Obstacles and Enemies to Progress in the School. These were taken from the Bible discussion book, How to Make High School Lite Count, by VV. R. Boorman. The purpose ot the Hi-Y Club is uniform throughout the country, 4 tTo create, maintain and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. The Hi-Y platform consists ot' four planks, namely: Clean Living, Clean Athletics, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Speechfl The outstanding event of the year was the Freshman Stag Party, given to all Freshmen boys the first of the year. It was a decided success. Some of the other events of the year were: participation in the State Older Boys' Conference at Champaign, furnishing a Christmas basket to a poor family of this city, waiting on tables at the Annual Y. M. C. A. banquet, participation in campaign for Foreign Y. M. C. A., and party for the Girl Reserves. The Hi-Y Club is open to all sophomore, junior and senior boys, interested in Christian work, and it is hoped that there will be a large number ot new members next year. 73 i -.- A MA TEUR BURROUGHS CLUB Top Iiouf-Edward llvistr-1', Artluxr Jones, Richard Shmmon, Ravmond Doulvy, Earl Anderson, VVaIlz10O Calvvrt, Frank Hoopvs. 1 Third Row-Lois Dvmnan, Madrigalc Mucmmaglno, lloward Dvlzmo, Theodore Hughes, Logan Mcllinn, Jamcfs P2l1'kG1', Ifldwalfl V0itc'h.

The accomplishments up to this time lie chiefly in a chart of Franklin Park to show the kind and position olf trees, and an organized butterfly collection. It has been planned to observe Arbor and Bird Day by planting' a tree on the School ground. Our undaunted school spirit has been shown by our attendance at the foot- ball and basketball games. During the past year We have had a number of parties including our rushing party in the form of a Weiner roast at the home of Mildred Eichman and a Christmas Hkid partym in the girlls gymnasium during the holiday season. Several field trips have been taken which proved interesting, including one to the home of Mr. Bell on East lVashingfton Street to see his fine collection of stuffed birds. Other hikes are being planned tor the spring. 75 MANUAL ARTS VLUT?

This organization is one ol' the l'evv that does not have members of the fair sex. The purpose ot the elub is to promote interest in industrial arts, to elevate the intellectual and soeial c-onditions ol' its members, and to encourage a spirit of loyalty to the sehool in all of its aetivitios. Membership may be secured by those enrolled in the Manual Arts Depart- ment ot B. H. S., and by other boys interested in Manual Arts work. Meetings are held every other week in Study Hall 11-L during the eighth hour. At these meetings, topies pertaining to the industrial arts are discussed. Several interesting meetings have been held during the past year under the helpful supervision ol' our able faculty adviser, Prof. S. F. Bloomquist. The officers of the eluh are: RfXl.1'H XNEBER, President MAX ADIiINS, Vice-President ROY ANDuRsoN, Secrretary-Treasufrcr 77 F i rst Violin Geraldine Egan Louise Pils Allan Brown Mildred Mor Ralph Blievernieht Vernon Lierman Charlotte Underwood Emma Hughes Edgar Dugan Frances Okell Second Violin Mildred Basting Elizabeth Sinclair Marion Manskey Cameron Wagaier Verna MeKeon Alwillah Meeherle Kenneth Graue Carl Jaeger Frederick Ford Ella Jorgensen Mabel Craig ORCHESTRA Cello Helen Coupe Gretchen Smoot Viola Charlotte Vllolff Anna May Spurling Bass Dale Harris Ruth Smith Flute Elizabeth Austin John Holder Herman Cehs Howard Hulva Oboe Helen Zalueha Lorraine Maeonaghie Clarinet Margret Payne Josephine Ross Jean Allen Everett Quanstrom Allan Browning 78 Bassoon Harold Ensinger Cornet Vllillard XVebb Hazel Sutherland Vllalton Ruebush Berna Dean Trombone Cleo Jefferson Maybelle Fenn Tuba William Ahlenius H orn Clyde Swift Lyle Shireman Esther Whitmer Drunts anol Tynipani Riehard Shannon Bells Gay Main Piano Pauline Egan Marshall Pixley iii- izriiliu if A vi? .. 36:24. Sala' ' Orchestra The Bloomington High School Symphony Orchestra is rightfully entitled to that name for its membership numbers titty-three and its instrumentation includes all the instruments of the symphony. The recent purchase of the new Leedy pedal tympani completes this instrumentation. These tympani were pur-V chased With funds from a Penny Supper Cgiven by the Mothers, Clubj, from two matinee dances and funds in thc orchestra treasury. Our first appearance this year was in assisting the Dramatic Club at its play, followed by a lobby concert at the Y. M. C. A. VVe also enjoyed playing at the Senior Play, the Teachers' Institute, Commencement in January, and in assembly. The climax was reached at the annual concert which proved a worth while success. Our program for the remainder of the year includes the second Dramatic Club play, the state contest at Springfield, accompanying the Glee Clubs in their Operetta and commencement in June. We have maintained a high standard not only in our own community but throughout the state, for only last year first place in the state contest was Won by the rendering ot the difficult t'Second Hungarian Rhapsody by Liszt. Our hopes are pitched high tor the same success there this year when we shall play the First Movement from Beethoven 's Fifth Symphony. Individual honor has also been assured by the presentation of a B each semester to those fulfilling cer- tain requirements. Finally, great credit is due to Miss Ross who has been a faithful, efficient director and also to Miss Kessler, Mr. Harvey and Mr. Could who have ably assisted. 79 BLOOMINGTON HIGH SCHOOL BAND MR.

One interesting feature of this is that tryouts or challenges in the different sections may be had at any time at the request of any player with the Band members acting as judges. Another is the business meeting which is held once ia month and the weekly meetings of the executive council. The first trip the Band made this year was to the State Fair at Springfield, September 23. This was a very interesting and enjoyable trip. Then at each home football game, when the weather permitted, the Band did their best to give the team a boost, also playing tor the WVesleyan Homecoming. The Band, divided into shifts, played alternately for the home basketball games as Well as the District Tournament and the Vilesleyan Invitation Tournament. On Feb- ruary IS, a short concert was given for the Teachers, Institute. The Band, under the efficient direction of Mr. E. M. Gould, gives their an- nual concert during the Bloomington Public Schools own Hay Festival VVeek. It is also looking forward to a trip to the State contest at l'rbana, April 24 and to the Springfield sectional contest, May 1. 81 QA ,, ,A rf- M HMA GIRLS ' GLE E CLUB Top Row-fleft to rightj Josephine Ross, Frances Okell, Mzulrigale Maeonaghie, Lillian Chambers, Lois Dixon, Elizabeth Eiclnian, Verna Louise Koogle, Laura Green, Pauline Mantle, Elinor Forsyth, Helen Powell, Gwendolyn Morris.

As members of the Girls Glee Club we all sing our Hhellosi' to you from the lofty towers of the fourth floor music room. lWe believe in starting the week out right so we become the assembled multif tudef, each Monday afternoon the eighth hour, unless, perchance some of our various teachers request our presence in their room. Such a summons is al- ways disappointing on Monday. However most ot us manage to climb four flights of stairs to our den, and join in the lively competition that ensues. At times the poor second sopranos lose out entirely, being smothered in almost high HC by the sopranos that can manage to get way up there, or perhaps they are drowned in a sea of deep low groans from the altos. But really we do try hard, and sometimes-well wait until you 've heard us in assembly ! We are absolutely Hup to the minute, are organized, and have a president, vice-president and secretary treasurer. Our business meetings are short and peppy, but our able President, Irene Morris, puts them over big, and so far she hasn't even given Ina Peterson, as vice-president, a chalice to show what she is capable of, but we all know Ida! Velma Carnine takes care ot' the minutes and the money -quite a task, but leave it to Velma, she comes up smilin' everytime. To celebrate our first birthday the Boys' Glee Club entertained us at a Valentine hop. VVe had ia grand time Hhoppingw around on our own and other peoplels feet! Remember the operetta of last spring ?-VVell this May the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs are going to present the t'Fire Prince, a real, peppy operetta. The east has not as yet been chosen but we know you 'll enjoy it-but incidently, you can 't enjoy it more than we enjoy the preparation, which of course would be impossible if we had any other director than our own Miss Ross. VVhenever you desire some real songs tune in on station G. G. C. and we shall endeavor to do our best for you. 83 BOYS, GLX-IIC CLUB 11111 In'UlC xYiH2l1'l1 Wvhlm, Dah?

Any boy who can prove conclusively to llliss Ross that he has a voice, may enter the club, which already has a membership ot twenty-three. The Boys' Glee Club meets every Viiednesday afternoon and Friday morn- ing for a session ol' peppy singing after which there is a business meeting. As vocalists, however, more time is given to music than business. Our first appearance this year occurred in assembly where we offered to the Student Body a sample of what musicianship and team work will accomplish. Just before Christmas, the Glee Club received an invitation to sing at Fairview Sanatorium, to which it complied with a number ot songs. In February, the Glee Club, was an important factor in the program ot the Teacher's Institute. Among those far oft' and yearned for things of the future is the annual visit which the Glee Club makes to Springfield to enter the vocal contest there. This visit will be made in the spring. As the Aegis goes to press, the Glec Club is practicing for the Operetta, The Fire Prince to be given in May. Very early in the year the following oflicers were installed: RAYMOND PROTZMAN, President VYERNIE E. SMITH, Vice President GLEN JANES, Secretary-Treasurer The officers for the second semester were the same as those for the first, save that Paul Rainsberger was elected to take the place of Vernie Smith. Owing to the success ot the Boys' Clee Club in the past, we feel that this club will be conspicuous in future activities and a credit to B. H.

W q Record of Athletic Achievements Bloomington High 's new athletic field, purchased in November, 1925, repre- sents one of the greatest achievements in the annals of the school. B. H. S. has long been without a field of her own, which, no doubt, has handicapped the progress of her out-of-door sports. ln this fifteen acre tract situated at the south-east corner of 'Locust Street and Colton Avenue, there is capacity for two gridiron fields, gardens, tennis courts and a long einder track. Witli such an asset as this added to an already flourishing spirit, B. H. S. should show remarkable advances along many lines. For the recent success in acquiring our athletic field, too much praise cannot be given to the Board of Education, through whose efforts it has been made possible. Football season this year, while not a success from the win-column stand- point, certainly has produced some real men. Next year, Harrison will have three letter men: Parker, Bonny, and Burwitz, besides a large number of numeral men from whom to pick a combination. B. H. S. is credited with hav- ing one of the best sportsmanship teams in this section. Hopes were brighter with the coming of basketball season. The B. H. S. basketeers under Harrison ls coaching soon broke into a winning stride. In the f'Big Twelve Bloomington ranked fifth with 50052. Probably the best game of this series was at Jacksonville, where the Purple and Gold tossers came through from behind to give the Jacksonville boys their only defeat of the season. The Bloomington High quintet showed the effects of real coaching and steady training by defeating the Normal High favorites in three out of four games. At the I. W. U. invitational tournament, B. H. S. received a silver loving cup for fourth place. Ralph Bonny was presented with a silver basket. ball, the P.antagraph's best sportsmanship trophy for the cleanest player and the most valuable man to his team in the tournament, while Frank Edwards, classed as the best running guard from the sixteen crack teams entered in the tournament, was placed on the first All-star team. Track should enjoy a great season this spring with Capt. Edwards, Brown and Vllaldman to form the. nucleus of a fast trio. Coach Hastings has been turning out better teams year after year and this year should be no exception although his material will be new. Vlfe will be represented in golf by such notables as Elmer Burwitz, runner-up for city golf championship last year, Clark Cannon and Lyle Dickey of last year's team should show improvement, and Lucien Caruso, among the freshmen, ought to make a strong bid for the team. Intra Mural basket ball, instituted at B. H. S. this year, mainly through the influence of Athletic Director Hastings, has proved a great success. The purpose of this league is to give those boys who do not make the regular squad a chance to play basket ball. An indoor baseball elimination tournament is also planned to be played this spring between Intra Mural teams at the new athletic field. An inter-city baseball league has been formed in which the four schools of Bloomington and Xormal will participate. A nine game schedule for each team has been arranged. Our coach, J. P. Harrison, is the President of this league. S7 Football Schedule B. H. S. 3-LEROY 0 Mud, keynote of the season started with our opening game at Vllilder Field. B. H. S. scored by a drop-kick, the final score being 3-0. DAYTON 28--B. H. S. 0 At Steel High the experienced warriors of the Buckeye State proved as hard as their name signifies. Steel led at the half 14-0. The Purple and Gold came back stronger in the second half, but the Ohians managed to get two more touchdowns by hard fighting. Misfortune too hampered Bloomington, as liaDuc and Green were forced from the game because oi' injuries. B. H. S. 0-PEORIA HIGH 25 Again at home B. H. S. 'faced more bad weather and opposition. Peoria with Quick, her Heetfooted quarterback, moved the long standing precedent up one year by defeating Bloomington 25-0. SS B. H. S. 0--JACKSONVILLE 6 At the third quarter the score was 0-0. Bloomington had shown the better team. VVith only a few minutes to go, Bonney's forward pass was blocked just off his fingertips. The same guard who had blocked it managed by CXD means to scoop it up and run forty yards for a touchdown. PIQORIA AIANITAL 16-B. H. S. 13 Manual held the sway throughout the first half by a 16-0 score. Bloomington rallied in the third quarter, pushing over two touchdowns. The game ended 16- 13 Peoria. CHAMPAIGN 17-B. H. S. 0 B. H. S. failed again to win at Champaign. The uneventful game ended with a score ol' 17-0 in favor of Champaign. NORMAI. 33-B. H. S. 0 Bloomington suffered a 33-0 defeat at Normal. Hall and Company, victori- ous in all of their games but one, easily conquered B. H. S. STREATOR 6-B. H. S. 0 At Streator the Evergreen City team played well but were unable to win. Green and Steidley performed the best for Bloomington. B. H. S. 6-lf. IIIGH 13 CHomecomingU Bloomington was forced to play her homecoming at Normal. U. High lost ground on nearly every play, but gained two touchdowns by blocking our punts. Bonney saved the Purple from a shutout when he intercepted a pass and ran over sixty yards for a touchdown. . gf? Qi gn. f LQ . , 89 5' GQEEN 2 i 2 B UNNY LA DUE Q , ENGINEER' , ',,A , BURWITZ If .Ilia 90 Football BH Men CAPTAIN t'ToMl' STI+:II1LI:Y, Right Tackle and Right Halfbaek. 'tCensored. 'tTo1n,i' our only veteran, was always in the game ready for fight. Vllhen punch or spirit was lacking, t'Tom was the man to bring it back. Vllhether in the line or backfield, our captain can easily be called the backbone of the team. t'Tom will be missed next year. CAPTAIN-EI.I:eT JAMI-:s UJIBIH PARKER, Fullbaek. 'tGet your man. Not so large and not so small, yet fast, and faster, yes, fastest of all. Our enemy always kept close watch on Jim,' so as not to give him a glance at an open field. Besides being a real football player, Parker has an enviable record as a Huntsman, so let 's stick with t'Jim and his 1926 eleven. EDMUND HED7' CoI.'1'oN, Left End. All right you apple knockerf' ' For going down under punts and downing his man without gain Colton is a hard man to beat. t'EdH is another man they had to kill in order to get him out of the game and when he was out it took both coaches and subs to keep him there. Colton also leaves us this year. FRANK Oos'rERBAAN EDWARDS, Left Halfbaek. HI don 't care for words. Oostcrbaanl' proved his worth as a formidable line plunger, and his tacklers always knew what to expect when they saw him coming. t'Hap is not only a valuable football man, but is also well known in basketball and track circles. LATHAM LLVlJANKY,, HUI,N'A, Center. Check No, Latham didn't break the 'tdriveshaft but he did break through strong opposing lines. From the snapper back position we were always able to count on Hulva for real fight. Our tall brother is also departing in June. WILLIS 'KSWEDEH JOHNSON, Right Guard. Tramp on the crippled and hurdle the dead. t'SW.ede was our flying taekler who more than once was seen colliding in Inid-air with an enemy. When not practicing this art ttSwede always had Va joke for the crowd. Unfortuntely B. H. S. will not have t'Bill next season. EDSON ttVVIII'1'EY XVI-IITE, Right End. HAH right gang up and at 'emfi On offensive VVhitey pulled down many a runner who was supposedly in the open. White starred at receiving long passes which many times netted a twenty- fivc or thirty yard gain. This was VVhite's last year for football at Bloomington High. CARI. f'GRANoI: GREEN, Right Haltback. Leave him to August. Green, our diminutive half, brother to Virg,' who was placed on All-Cen- tral Illinois team as guard last year, was nearly always good for a gain. His best game was probably at Streator where his long runs kept the whole opposing team wondering which end he would loop next. 91 IIAROLD B0zo ENSINGER, Left Guard. Beat that guy's ears in. Harold was one of our heaviest linemen and on both offense and defense strengthened the center of our line materially. EDWARD HREDH APIIAENIUS, Right Tackle. 'tHow are you pigmies, down there? 'tRed, which is the safest name to call him by, didn 't have a great deal of trouble holding down a line position and at holding the line Red sure could stretch over plenty oif ground. KENNETH VAN VAN ScHo1cK, Left Tackle. Get low in there. HVan,' by hard hitting managed to stop many line plunges and end runs before they were under way. t'Kenny will not be with us next season. RALPH HBUNNY77 BONNY, Quarterback. They're not so big CAt Daytonj Bunny is one of the three HB men to be with us next year. Already adept in the -art of snagging passes and receiving the ball from the center posi- tion, Bonny has a good chance of being heard from next year. He has two more years at football and under Harrison 's training his chances for fame are great. ELMER HCHIEFH BURVVITZ Riffht Guard. Mow 'em down.'l ! D Burwitz is the third letter man to return next year and will be one strong stay in Harrison's line. Burwitz is also a reliable man for the punting position. PAUL MPH IJADUE, Right End. Stay in there, kid. Paul, at the right wing of our line, developed under good coaching and dur- ing the latter part of the season allowed but a few men to get around his end. JAMES HJ1M Rninv, Fullback. Fight it up in there. Riley, though not participating in every game, deserves the more credit for always staying with the team. Near the end of the season Jim became one of the best men connected with Bloomington High 's aerial attack. As a reward for faithful duty to those staying out all season yet not receiving a letter, B. H. S. has this year inaugurated the numeral system. The following fellows received numerals: I Ahlenius, VVm. Dewenter Middleton Buekholz Eyer , Newbauer Bodman, W. Hassler, W. Riley, H. Baillie Hoopes Sams Beutel Janick Stalter Bennington Kaveny Stautz Three other men also deserving special mention are Vllilliam Orr, Everett Lawyer, and Charles Muhl, whose injuries received during practice kept them from finishing the season. 92 J.

He was always founds in the thiekest ot' the fight, taking much punishment, but always going baek for more. A clever dribbler, twisting his slender body in and about among his toes, he scored many a basket at a mueh needed hour. Re- eleeted eaptain tor 1927. Lyle 'tPeeky' Peekman was a thorn in the side ot many a team by his un- eanny ability, through unknown means, to slip in under the basket tor sleepers. Peekman could go through the roughest kind of a game and take severe punish- ment and still come out with a smile. Sam t'Milly7' Bodman, although playing the position of center, was small compared to many of the other centers we found. Although rough and ready on defense, he was able to garner his share of points per game. Sam was well liked by everyone. Frank t'Hap Edwards, was without doubt the 'fastest man on the team. In every game he worried the opposing forwards by his close guarding and ability to dribble or eome rapidly down the floor for a shot. 'tOosterbaan was a great favorite with the girls. Elmer t'Bobby Jones Burwitz, although appearing in a new role, that of baek guard, filled it in a way to make a veteran green with envy. He was an- other one of the boys who eould take rough play without Complaint. Arthur Red Jones was seen in either a forward or guard position on the hardwood and usually eame through with a couple or m ' ' ' ' ' ' ' T in the game. He also helped to scrap things up. oie points during his stay NUMERAI, BIEN Keenan . .. 28 Whitesell . . .. 29 VValdman . 26 Eyer . .. . . . 28 Hughes . . . . . . 27 Bodman . . . . 29 Middleton . 29 DuBois . . . . . 27 Hoopes . . . 28 Clark . . . . . 27 Bennington 28 Caruso. . . . . . 30 Baremore . 29 97 Individual POINTS SCORED DURING THE SEASON Man Points Fred Rhea ...... . 411 Earl Anderson . . . . 33 Edson White ..... . 22 Raymond Baxter .... . 20 Frank Edwards ..... . 19 David Hartley ........ . 13 Clarence Breckenridge .... . 12 Allan Hoobler ........ . 9 Willis Brown .... . 8 Irwin Vllaldman . , . 7 Joseph Laskoski .. . 1 98 Track Meets l925 LEROY The season opened with a boom.

Bloomington High won the distance med- ley with the team composed of Anderson, VVhite, Breckenridge and Baxter. - l3RADl.EY INTERSCHOLASTIC In our second interscholastic at Bradley we placed with Anderson again first in the half mile and Baxter first in the mile. Our distance medley team took second in this meet, losing to Hyde Park by a few inches. SPRINGFIELD Our boys came through again at the Conference meet. B. H. S. finished fifth. About the most thrilling incident for Bloomington was t'Andy's victori- ous iinish in the half mile run. UNIVERSITY or II.I.INoIs At Urbana our tracksters met up with the strongest opposition of the year. B. H. S. took no firsts, but Andy and Bax'7 came in near the front to place for Bloomington. INTER-CITY Our last meet proved one of the greatest successes of the season. Normal and U. High, ever strong rivals of B. H. S. showed poorly while Coach Hasting's Purple and Gold clad flashes covered themselves with glory by winning almost every contest. 99 Track BH Men Capt. Earl 'tAndy Anderson was the real point-getter of our track team, taking a first in the one-half mile in almost every meet he was in. He also placed in the National track meet at Chicago. At Springfield he beat his man to the tape only by diving across the line. Capt. elect Frank 'tButter boy i' Edwards first took his place in track circles as a field man, specializing in the javclin. However he came to the front in the later part of the season a runner. Fred f'FritzH Rhea was a master of either the track or field arts. ln the Held a jumper and discuss man, on the track a sprinter, hurdler and a member of the relay team. Edson HEddy'l Wliite was quite a sprinter and also ran the 220 on the med- ley relay. VVhite surprised himself and everybody else when he took first in the broad jump and third in the high jump in the Triangular meet. Irwin Hlrvl' Vilaldman was the 'tljaddockl' of the team, for he ran both the 50 and the 100 yard dashes which always gave him two chances to place in each meet. He was always willing to try. VVillis HGalval' Brown cleared the obstacles of the track as a hurdler and dashed by the others as he flew along in the 50 and 100 yard dashes to finish among the many top-notch sprinters. Allan Hlloobw mile, never knowing has been one of the Hoobler, one of the lightest men on the team ran the half the meaning of the word 'tquitf' Hoobler, for three years, most consistent performers of the team. ' Hartley always went higher than any other member of the team, but when he rose to such heights he always fell. David was a pole vaulter David Davey7 and is now a Pi Mu at Wesleyan. Raymond t'Nurmi'7 Baxter Hstepped off the mile, a fit run for any man, in good time and was always near the front when the tape was reached. Ray is now at VVesleyan, and we will hear from him out there this spring. Clarence t'Breck Breckenridge had the hardest run in track, 440 yard dash, a dead sprint, also he ran on Medley Relay team. His trilling finish was at Wesley'an where he was defeated by inches. Joseph 'tMidget Laskosky was the smallest runner on the team, yet his nerves were the equal of any Olympic runner. HThe Midget 7' ran in the distance medley relay. HONORABLE BIENTION Day Carter Stone Hanell.

What a name? Can any of you pronounce that? If only one of us were Russian, or had studied Russian, these rehearsals would not seem so impossible. As it is we are not getting any place tonight. Mary Montgomery, the young dra- matic director of the Players of the West- minster church, was meeting with her cast for the first time. They were to pro- duce a play written by County Leo Tolstoi, t'VVhat Men Live By, as the climax to a three-day charity bazaar at the church. The scene of the play was laid in old Russia. The exotic names, costumes, and stage settings were new and puzzling to the members of the cast and even to the young director. Why not try the Amerieanization school, Miss Montgomery? There might be a Russian student over there who could help us a lot with these foreign names and even interpreting the passages which seem so unfamiliar. The young man who had this sudden inspiration had been selected to play the leading part, that of the Russian baron, Avedeiteh. As he sat on the edge of the stage swinging his long legs and dividing his attention between the attractive young woman before him and his favorite team's stand- ing on the sporting page of the evening paper, he seemed too typically a specimen of peppy Young America to imagine in any other role. That is a fine suggestion, Mr. Burton. I shall sce the principal of the Americanization school at once. If by chance there is a Russian student en- rolled there, I am sure he will be able to help us. Vile can 't do much more tonight but all please report promptly tomorrow evening at S o'cloek, and we will get down to real, business. Good night, Mary Montgomery had finished her dramatic training course at Miss Man- ninis school the previous year and her first position was that of play director at the large Compton church. She had been having innumerable troubles, in fact it seemed that a black cat was slinking across her path at each step. She was a. young girl of nineteen with golden hair, deep violet eyes, a wonderful smile, and vivid personality that could inspire an artist of any sort. Her irst play at the church had been a great success but unexpected difficulties. had arisen on every hand since then and various hindrances were holding back the progress of the new play that meant so much in establishing her successfully. She hurried through her breakfast the next morning eager to be off to the Americanization school. The brick walk, the promise ol' spring in the air, and the bright sunshine all erased the worries of the night before and it was a very radiant and hopeful young woman who introduced herself to Mr. Bradbury, the head professor, and explained her mission. 103 HI think I have just the man you want, Miss Montgomery. This young chap has been on my mind a lot lately. VVe meet many types here and I can't begin to tell you how interesting it is to watch the unfolding interest of these foreign people and their blossoming into real Americans. But Maloska is different. He seems to possess an unusual intellect,-has been over only five months and his progress is marvelous. But somehow he doesnlt seem to get the spirit of the school. Seems moody and unhappy. Just docsn't find himself. He doesn 't make friends easily and I really believe he is desperately homesick for his old Russia. I shall be so glad to have you talk to himfl As they walked into the large library the young man in question sat tousling his hair as he turned the pages of a book. About him were piles of magazines, papers, and books. He tossed away his long Russian cigarette and hurriedly buttoned his loosened collar as the professor spoke his name. He acknowledged the introduction with some embarrassment then with a courtesy altogether charming in its foreign difference, he led Miss Montgomery to his favorite corner. She noticed his close-cropped hair, so dusky dark, so un- like the long haired Russian musicians she had known. His clear gray eyes, sharp and observant, brightened immediately she handed him the copy of the play and spoke of Russia. 'tAh yes, the Russian cobblerls shop. My grandfather had just such a shop in Petrograd. I would be so happy to explain the stage settingf' said Maloska. Down in the factory district the loud whistles announced the noon hour and Miss Montgomery hurriedly arose with apologies for her long call. It has been such a pleasure, said the young Russian, 'land I shall be with you tonight at rehearsal to help you all I can. He did not go back to his books after she left but stood for many minutes at the window looking down at the busy street below. The rehearsal that evening went smoothly, thanks to Maloska, who not only gave the correct pronunciation of the many Russian names but who also gave invaluable suggestions as to the stage settings and costumes. His face lightened with pleasure when Miss Montgomery asked him to take the part of Trotieoffka, the footman to the baron, a minor part that they had not yet bothered to fill. She realized what a help he would be to her as one of the cast and although not sure of his dramatic ability, she felt that with his few lines he could not seri- ously mar the play. But Fate sometimes plays queer tricks. As the rehearsals progressed the adaptability of the young Russian was most marked. Why', he knows my lines as well I know them myself, said Burton, after he had been prompted in an undertone by Maloska who stood as a respectful servant behind him. And mine also,'l said the young chap who was taking the part of the cobbler. 'tThey surely do turn out bright fellows down at that Americanization school. They had better try their hand on some of the dummies in our English class. He threw away the shoe he had supposedly been mending and grabbed up his cap and college sweater to leave. Finally the afternoon arrived for the last rehearsal. All was in readiness for the performance that evening. Most' of the cast had arrived and Miss Mont- gomery had just remarked that the bad luck attending the first rehearsals had given away to the best of luck as the time of the production drew near. Then the telephone bell rang. As Miss Montgomery hung up the receiver she turned to the young people with a most dismayed look on her usually bright and cheery face. 'tMr. Burton has been injured in an automobile accident and has been taken to the hospitalff she exclaimed. t'His injuries are not serious but he 104 cannot be with us tonightfl A suspicion of tears clouded her pretty eyes. 'WVhat shall we do? 'tMaloska has memorized every one of the baron's lines, said one of the east. HI believe he could take the part. VVhy don 't you try him out? Any one could learn Maloska's part of the footman in five minutes. Vilhen Maloska arrived and was told of the accident he modestly consented to take the difficult part. 'fAnything to help you, Miss Montgomery, he said. 'tYou have been so good to me and brought me so many new friends. For the first time I am almost happy in your America. He went through the trying last rehearsal with scarcely a mistake but almost as one in a daze so strange was the part to him. HI shall do better tonight, Miss Montgomery, so you won tt be ashamed of me,7' he said as he left. The eveningts performance at last was over. The curtain dropped with the words of the young Russian still on the air. The audience sat spell bound. The Russian's plea for love, truth and justice was so sincere, so filled with all the strength and fervor of his young manhood that his listeners were transported from their every day hurrying busy lives into a new world brought to them by Maloska. The next morning Maloska was surprised to receive a summons to the office of a prominent attorney. Much troubled he hurried to the address given. VVhat can it be? What can they want of me? Perhaps the immigration officials again! Perhaps they will not let the little brother come. He needs me so. But no,- they promised. Quickly these thoughts ran through his mind as he opened the office door. The attorney, two elderly gentlemen and Miss Montgomery were seated about a large table conversing about the play of the night before. Maloska made a low bow to Miss Montgomery then rceognized one of the men as Mr. Cushman, president of the Vifcstminster Players. Cushman arose and introduced him first to the attorney and then to the gentleman seated at his side, saying: HMr. Maloska, I want you to meet my old friend Mr, Foreman, one of the best known dramatic critics and producers of our day. He happened to be in our city last evening and was my guest at our Players' performance. He has been nice enough to say really wonderful things about our little amateur production. And about one of your players in particular, Cushman. I am most happy to meet this young man, 'f and he grasped Maloskats hand firmly. They all sat down about the table the producer then told of the Russian play, t'Ivanwieh, he was about to launeh and of his quest for the right man to take the title role. 'Z-Xnd I am offering you the part, Maloskaf, he said. After seeing your interpretation of the baron 's part in last evening's performance I know I need look no further if you will consent to sign up with my company for the coming season. Miss Montgomery, I am happy to say, has decided also to come as assistant director. My lawyer here is all ready to finish our contraet. I hope I may include yours also, Maloskaf' 'tThank you, Mr. Foreman said Maloska. UI know of no greater pleasure than to live the life of a noble Russian on the stage of your great America and show to your people our life and our ideals but l can not now. I must work. I must learn, I have my living to make. I have my young brother, who is com- ing over soon, to support and educate. Life must be more to me than the acting of the beautiful plays I have enjoyed so muehf' The others about the table looked from one to the other and smiled. 'tMy dear fellowfy said Mr. Cushman, you do not understand. Mr. Foreman's offer brings with it more than mere glory. As leading man in his company you would 77 105 command one of the highest salaries paid in the theatrical profession today. Your name would be known throughout the land. Your future would be as- sured. Your brother's education would be possible. It will mean lots of hard work and long hours but I know that it will be work that you love and work which you have shown yourself so ably fitted for. Maloska you have a God-given talent. And it is in your power to use it to make the world better through the spoken drama. This is your chance. With ta new gleam in his steady gray eyes, lllaloska slowly pushed back his chair and stood as he had that memorable morning a few weeks before looking down at the hurrying traffic below. HAmerica! How wonderful! Only a short time ago it was new, it was terrifying-this, your America. But you, my friends, have helped me find my work. You have given me a place in it all. You have helped me find my America. Cobbler at Dawn BY RAYMOND DOOLEY, '26 2nd Prize Merwin Cup Contest Danny woke with a start. What was that singing so sweetly? He blinked his eyes sleepily and looked out the window. 'tOh, there it is! Pretty little singer! He wished that he might have such a little bird to sing to him all the time. He felt so good it seemed as if spring were truly here when birds sang at his window. He watched the little singer for a moment and then he looked at the beautiful sunrise. It was, Oh so beautiful, all of it. Why couldnlt hc have some of this beauty with him always? He turned to look at his little room. Bare and gloomy it was. Yet, on closer survey, it showed signs of attempted decora- tion. The walls were covered with very attractive magazine illustrations ar- ranged in an artistic way, and here and there was a crude water color painting evidently done by an amateur hand, yet with a singular harmony of colors. There was so much beauty outside, but how could he get some inside. Well, he was determined to have beautiful things some time anyway. In the meantime it was getting late and he must get up. Danny, oh Dannyll' called a woman 's voice. Yes, coming! Danny answered. HYcll, hurry, It's getting late and I do wish you would get some more wood for me. I just can't do my baking without it. 'tAll right, I'll be right down. He hurriedly threw on his clothes, and, running down the rieketly stairs two at a time, he burst into the kitchen exelaiming, 'tlaead me to the wood pile. I'll make short work of getting that wood. XVhen Danny had brought in a great deal too much wood for the size of the kitchen and had succeeded in muddying the Hoor, he sat down to his breakfast. HMother, he said, f'Don't you ever get tired of potatoes three times a davf, . 'tYes, but we ought to be thankful that we have potatoes. Even potatoes cost a great deal nowadays. HYes, but other people have whatever they want and they don lt work any harder than father. It isn't right, I tell you. I'll bet father is already in the shop making shoes that he isn't even paid for. Ullanny, Danny, you shouldn't talk so. You run right along to school and forget such nonsense. 106 'tJust the same it isn't right and things are going to be different pretty soon. You just wait and see if they aren't.'l His mother kissed him as he left and said, HNow be a good boy, thatls all I ask. You know I will,'l Danny replied smiling. On the way to school, Danny noticed a large sign in front of a shoe store saying, Buy your shoes today at Iieigh's. Sfilffgfjfb below cost. Today only. 'tTain't right, muttered Danny to himself as he stumbled sullenly on. Danny Dale was the son of Elihu Dale, a shoemaker of the old school who had had a prosperous business once, but now it had dwindled down to a bare existence for his wife and son. The more pretentious stores of the up-town dis- trict of Edgewood had almost ruined him with their large line of factory made shoes. The fine quality of his leather and his excellent workmanship were the only means by which he eould still maintain his shop. Mr. Dale was too old to engage, even if he wished to do so, in any other business and it was quite galling to Danny that his father should have to submit to what he termed the worst end of a dirty dealf' It was the end of the second semester at Edgewood High Sehool that day and report cards were given out. Danny was delighted to find three Honest' and a Hone prime on his card, but best of all, beside his 'fone prime was a little note which said, 'tYou show remarkable talent in art. I should like to see you take more work in painting after you finish Edgewood. Danny was de- lighted with the thought of bringing some of God's beauty to his room. To be an artist was always his ambition. Others had done it. VVhy not he? Yes, why not, he thought bitterly. He knew an artist 's edueation was expensive and was only for people with money. In his case it eouldnlt be thought of. His father would be clear out of business if Leigh's had many more shoe sales. Still he thought of it. If I eould earn my own way I might be able to do it. Father eould hold out for a few years without hardship. I take most of the money now, anyway, he thought. On the way home that night while his prospects seemed a little better than ever before, he noticed a group of girls ahead of him beeause he thought he heard his name. t'Did you see the grades that Danny Dale got today, said the girl in green. 4'Yeah, I wouldnit be that smart if I had tof' said another. H Oh, I think you girls are just jealous. I think Danny Dale is mighty fine, and he really is quite artistic, said the girl with the white hat. 'tSay Marge, if you think Itm jealous of that thing, you've got another thought coming, VVhy the mit that kid wears is going to be valuable as an antique. ' ' Yeah, he won't part with it because he could never get another like it. t'And the shirts he wears! Every time you look at them they scream out. 'mama made 1ne'f' t'And his neektiesl Same one for two yearsli' t'You7d think his hair was marcelled. He ought to know that nobody likes curly hair. 'LVVell, he might not care what you girls think about him. Did you ever think of that? Say he does tool He asked me for a dance once. t'VVell, did you dance with him? 107 Me? No, I should say not l XVhy if you dance with these dumb kids, they all want to dance with you. tWVell, just the same Danny 'Dale is a good dancer and I would rather dance with him than some of the boys you dance with. Here they turned and left Danny dazed. So that was what people thought of him! He never l1ad been so very friendly with anyone. He had just gone his way and let everyone else go their ways, but he had never imagined people felt this way about him. At first he was stunned, then enraged. VVell, he would show them what he could do. He would look as nice as anyone. He didn't know how, but he would just the same. VVasn't that Marge a good sport thoughll' That was one consolation. She had said she liked to dance with him. Well, he was going to try to know her better. But the others? How he hated them! The artist in him rebelled at the orange rouge and the bright colors they wore. That night in his trouble he went to his favorite paper, the Socialist He was accustomed to read it when he was in one of his better moods and tonight one thing he read impressed him greatly. The editorial said, 'fThe wealth of the ,land is controlled by a few capitalists and it benefits only those few. The capitalists are suppressing labor and slowly driving the tradesman out of business. The condition must, be stopped before the spirit of democracy is en- tirely crushed. The wealth should be forcibly taken by the great lower class and divided equally among the needy. Thatls right, thought Danny, wealth must be forcibly taken from cap- italists or oppression will be the result. A year later there was a different Danny Dale in Edgewood. If not the most expensively, certainly he was the most tastefully dressed boy in school. He went with Marge Bennett constantly and was quite popular among the fellows. No one knew just how the change was accomplished. He told Marge that he had a job painting little portraits on fancy candy boxes. He told his pro- fessors he had a job in a store but never seemed to be busy. He always had a lot of spare time. His friends began to wonder just when he did his work, but they never found out from Danny. Whcsiiever' money was mentioned, Danny was a clam. One day Danny was called from class to Principal McG'rathls office. HDanny, said the principal, there have been a great many things stolen from the lockers this year and we have clearly found you to be the guilty one. Now, what can you say for yourself. HAH I have to say that I won't deny that I did it and what is more, I was not wrong in doing it. I do not regret having done it.'l f'But Danny, how can you think it right. Certainly you know that stealing is wrongf' '4Not the kind of stealing I did. I didn't steal, I merely took what right- fully belonged to me. Haven't I a right to the good things of life as well as anyone else? Havenit I a right to be happytn t'Yes, but Danny, happiness can never be built on stealing. HBut this is different. I was only taking my share of the world's goods. My father, through the shoe corporation, is being driven out of business. It isnlt his fault. It 's the fault of the economic condition of today. The capitalists are suppressing the common people, and, before this is completely accomplished, the lower classes should prevent it. And the only way this can be prevented is forcibly to seize the wealth and divide it among the poor and make all men equal. Let each man have only so much as he needs and no more. 108 Hlfy boy you are all wrong. Our whole civilization depends on capital. The wealth develops everything in the business world. All our conveniences we owe to capital. Railroads depend on capital. Yet who gets the benefit? YVhy my boy, your great common people ride on the railroads, use the tele- phones and street cars and automobiles. None of these things would even be possible if it werenlt for capital. Now take your father's business, if it hadn't been for the system of money, there could have been no professional shoemaker. In the beginning of civilization certain men did whatever service they seemed fit to do best. In return, they received a service, but this was clumsy so they devised a medium of exchange and the result is our money. Now your idea of dividing the money is wrong. Communism can 't exist now because it was proven a failure every time it was attempted. Men have to have the incentive of possession to put 'forth the greatest efforts. Corporations which are regulated are a great blessing to the common people. They give them better articles for the most part, for less money. But what will happen to the small tradesmen? They can it compete with corporations. H HI am coming to that. The solution of small tradesmen is to specialize their product. Now Danny, in the case of your father, he makes the best shoes you know of doesntt he? Yes, and he doesn't get paid enough. That is why we have a hard time. If it wasn't for Leigh 's- Yes, yes, I know, but I want to tell you something. Mr, Leigh has been for a long time considering going into a partnership with your father. Now you know that Mr. Leigh wouldnyt do this out of sympathy for your father. Besides, men don 't go into partnerships out of sympathy. He knows your father's shoes are the best in town and he also knows that they aren't properly sold to get the most for them. Now he plans to make a specialty of your father 's shoes and charge extra for them. Your father in that way would get a better price and sell more shoes, while Mr. Leigh would profit by having a higher class shoe to sellf' UVVell, that would be fine if they could agreef, Of course, they can agree. And another benefit of capital: a very wealthy man of Chicago gave the art institute of Chicago a certain sum of money to educate each year a new and promising young artist. Now I still have the great- est confidencc in you, Danny, and I am going to give you a second chance. I will try my best to get this scholarship for you if you will promise to do the best in your power to be worthy of it. 'AI certainly appreciate this, Mr. McGrath, but don 't you feel that you are taking an awful risk in doing this? Nonsense Nobody but you and I, another member of the faculty, in fact Mr. Stone the art teacher, is even going to know anything about this. But if you feel you don 't want it- t'VVhy of course I do. I only feel ashamed to take it. But I am hereby going to promise to pay back every cent and to try to do something worth while for you and the school. Five years later in the hall of Edgewood High School a new picture was hung. The picture was of an old cobbler working in his shop in the early morn- ing. The most beautiful thing in the picture was the dim light shining in the window. Underneath the picture was a copper plate inscribed with the follow- ing: HCobbler at Dawn. First prize national art exhibit. By Daniel Dale. 109 Rayls Awakening CHARLOTTE HARRINGTON 3rd Prize, Merwin Cup Contest Ray Parker entered his room and glanced at his study table only to see a stack of well-filled envelopes bearing the return address of magazine publishers. With little or no enthusiasm Ray opened his mail and took from each envelope a manuscript and placed it in his table drawer with more just like it. He laid his head on his hands with an attitude of utter dejection. Ray was a young man of that important age of eighteen, finishing high school. He was try- ing to write, but his manuscripts always came back just as these had. Ray was exactly the type of fellow you could picture on a football field or the hardwood floor of a gym, but he had scorned athletics and Hstuck tight to literature in school. With the encouragement of his teachers he was going to become a great writer, yet, it did seem as though success as a writer would never be his because he just couldn't get a thing published. He grabbed his hat, and feeling a need of air, decided to take a walk. By either instinct or habit he found himself in front of Marjory Connor's home, and, by coincidence, Madge was on the porch. Now Madge had been Ray 's pal as long as either could remember, and always had praise, encouragement, or sympathy at just the moment he needed it. HWhatls the matter, Ray, you look as though you had lost your last friendfl tWVorse than that l I have lost my ambition. 'Got another bunch of returned manuscripts again today with one of those sweet little notes attached, 'Thanking you very kindly for your contribution but at the present we have no use for this type of story,' or something to that effect. I guess I missed my calling. Maybe I never will be able to writef' By this time Ray had perched himself on the porch steps and Madge listened intently to every word of his soliloquy tho she had heard many similar ones before. 'tNow, Ray, you know you can write. Doesn't Miss Maynard say you're the best she ever taught? Someday you'll be an American Dickens and you know it.', Ray put a hand into his pocket and brought out a copy of the school's weekly newspaper and turned to the editorial sheet which was headed: Ray Parker, Editor-in-Chief, and pointing to a certain editorial re- marked, Well, anyway, have you read this? It sounds a lot like Addison, doesn't it? Mr. Harding says that essay on A High School Life is the very best he ever read. Why, of course it is, agreed Madge. You know, I believe if I could go to college instead of to work after I graduate I might be able to do something. 'You know atmosphere has a lot to do with good literature and maybe these things I write sound sort of 'green' to those publishersf' Ray, you don't mean that you can't write unless you live in a city, do you? Why, lots of our best authors and poets lived in the countryf' ' ' Oh, well, you just don 't understand. You know I should have more educa- tion than I can get here. Wouldn't it be keen if I could study those great French and Italian writers? I suppose Dad will say he can't afford it, that's his strong point. He will never understand that a college education is necessary to modern life. But the only way to succeed is to try him. Well, 110 guess I'll saunter home now. You're about as good as a Coke on a hot day to give a fellow pep. S'long. t'Good bye, Ray. That night Ray started to talk college to his folks. It had the very effect upon his Dad that Ray had predicted, but after a talk between Mother and Father the latter agreed, I'll see Ray thru, then. So in September, Ray left his home, his folks, and his HPal to make a success of life at Columbia College. Ik? is S? HX: Two years later we see Ray again at his study table, but this time not in Mt. Rose, but in New York City. This time he was not reviewing returned manuscripts, for only one letter had come in the day 's mail bag. He opened it and drew forth a letter signed Mother, which he laid back to be answered at leisure, and a check signed '4Raymond Parker, Sr, which he immediately pocketed. Just then he was startled by a tap at the door. Upon opening it he found a fellow Junior standing there. 'tPardon me, Mister Parker, but this afternoon there is the final game in the tennis tournament between the Freshmen and Sophomores. The whole school is going so I thought I'd ask you, thinking perhaps you didn 't know about it. t'Sorry, but I am attending a lecture this afternoon upon the 'Greek In- fluence on Modern Literaturef and will be unable to attend your game, said the sedate Ray Parker with a sense of finality which caused his fellow-student to Withdraw. Ray had come to college to study the art of writing and he was writing. He had discovered during a lecture in which a professor said, Be big enough to do the thing that you were meant to do that he had never been meant to write short stories for a magazine but a real book. He fully intended to write the best Best Seller ever written. Modern literature was too light and trivial for Raymond Parker. His book was going to be big,-not limited to time, place, or nationality. He walked to the window of his room and surveyed the campus. He could see a baseball diamond in the distance where there was evidently a littlc excite- ment. Here and there on the gorunds were boys reading or talking. He heard a terrible clatter and a joyous shout when a Ford, a relic of 1910, came into sight. It was painted red and white with black letters of printing on it. Galloping Gussief' Hthriftless and shiftless and ttsliding breaks were printed on the two sides that Ray could see. He turned from the window in disgust. He was Very, very glad that he was above that motley crowd. He went back to his table and picked up his pen to write. Immediately he forgot the rest of the college. He was living in a world ideal, a world of his dreams, his Utopia. He was perfectly sure that his book would raise the stand- ards of society. He believed much of the discontent in society came from 'flight literature. Of course, he could not write if he had anything else to worry about. No one could concentrate on any single purpose if his mind were taken up with Worldly problems. He was very glad his Dad was so considerate as to realize this in regard to money. He was interrupted in his writing by the delivery of the day's mail. He received a letter from Mount Rose, but it was not in his mother 's handwriting. After reading a few lines he ejaculated a ridiculous, H but still read to the end where it was signed HMarjory.7' 111 VVith a look of incredulity he threw the letter in his desk. Nevertheless, that afternoon he packed his trunk this precious manuscript on the bottomj and took the evening train for Mount Rose. He couldn't quite understand the mean- ing of that letter. H 'Dad seriously injured in a train wreck. ' Impossible. Dad doesn't ride on trains and he is a firm believer in that 'Stop, Look, and Listen' propaganda,-besides, if it had happened three months ago Mother would have wired me immediately. VVhen the train pulled into Mount Rose, Madge was on the platform to meet him. Before the train had stopped he was off of it and with a leap he was beside her. 'tMadge ! ' ' Oh, Ray, Ilm so glad you came-I've met every train since I mailed that letter. ttBut, Dadllll !'Oh, well-he is sick-in fact, always will be-Ray, your father is a cripple -incurable. Your mother would not let us send for you when it happened, because we were perfectly sure that a minor operation would be all that was needed to restore his health, and a jolt like that might mean the destruction of your career. The operation failed, and the finances are getting fearfully low so I sent for you because they need you. Dad-a cripple-a useless operation-Oh Madge! '!Yes, Ray, I know. Your mother will be very surprised to see you, but someone has to keep the place going and I knew you'd come at a moment's notice. Ray was silent. This was a blow to him, to his ideal, but with the determina- tion of his Dad he said, I'll see that things are straightened up. And Ray stuck to his vow. Thru his father's position in the community he got a job as bookkeeper in the bank. How hard it was for him to handle such dismal realities as figures. Trial balances, monthly statements, and reports were real bugbears, but he had an invalid father and a dependent mother to take care of. He labored early and late, consulted specialists about his father ls condition, paid off the mortgage on the home place, and for some unaccountable reason had forgotten his book and was extremely happy. Then, too, there was Madge. He just couldn't remember how he had got along without her for two years, and she was a veritable ray of sunshine in the lives of an aging couple. He had decided for himself, even tho she didn 't know anything about it, that he wasn't going to try to get along without her much longer if his own wish could come true. One evening as he passed a newstand he noticed that thc new copies of Hearst's '!Cosmopolitan were in, and he purchased one. In blazing letters on the cover page was 'tThe Rural Heart, by R. M. Parker. lt held his eyes! That was his fa.ther's name. He turned to the opening page of the story. It was a serial! Opposite the first page of the story was an account of the author. A small-town man, a cripple, depending upon his son for support. Ray 's eyes blinded with tears-his Dad! VVhen he reached home he rushed to his father who met him with a placid smile and handed him a check, the receipts from an accepted story. 'tFor Heavenis sake, Dad, how did you do it?H gasped the author 's son. 'tRay, it isn't so wonderful. XVhat do I know more about than a small town and small town people? Ray laid his head on his father 's knee-' A Dad, you have taught me something that I didn 't learn from all my studying or all my failures-that true literature comes from knowledge of true life. 112 The Amati By VIIIGINIIA. PLUIIMER Honorable Mention, Merwin Cup ffontest There was no doubt in the mind of any mcmber, friend, or even mere acquaintance of the Yardley family but that the old Amati would some day belong to Richard. It had been left by Charles Yardley, when he died, to which- ever of his twin sons should learn to play it first. Mr. Yardley had made no will. The simple cottage home and a rather small sum of money were all he had to leave, and of course these went to his widow to raise and educate the boys, who were but ten years old. No special rules had been set down for the contest. The father, bedridden, had merely asked for his violin and then turning to the twins had said: Boys, my violin is all the wealth I have to leave you. If I had had an elder son it should have been his. Though I am the richer for having two elder sons it is impossible to divide my only valuable possession between you. I have finally decided to leave it to whichever one will learn to play that old favorite of mine, f'Brahmls VValtz, the one in Ab major-you know the piece. The first of you to learn it, to really play it, I mean, shall have my instrument for his own. I do earnestly hope that you will lovc music as I have loved it, just for the pure joy and deep feeling it brings with it-if not as a profession, as a friend. Richard knew well why the A b NValtz had been his father 's choice. It was not only one of his favorite melodies, but calls for sweetness of tone and expres- sion, and accuracy of intonation, as well as rhythmical feeling for a just pre- sentation of its beauty. Gilbert, Richard 's twin, and yet so different in voice, manner, and expres- sion, thought merely of the simpleness of the notes. Both boys had already learned to play a bit from their father, who though a music lover, had had but little training. As for the instrument itself, it was one of those rare old Cremona fiddles made sometime between the years of 1560-95 by Nicolo Amati, of that famous violin making family, the Amatis. The model was distinguished by smallness and flatness of shape, exquisite finish, perfect mathematical proportions, and softness and sweetness of tone. There were amazing stories connected with it, of the fame and genius of its masters, and how it had come into the possession of the Yardley family, where it had been for years. It was a treasure to anyone, but a priceless one to a Yardley. For a long time no definite measures were taken on either side towards acquir- ing the violin. The twins grew to be seventeen, mingling their music with other school-boy activities. Everything had been so undefinedg there was no certain person to play before, nor any set time to do it. Both boys played, but while Richard would spend evenings engrossed in dreamily playing, oftener by ear or simply gliding over the strings at will, Gilbert, lacking much of the tone and expression of his brother, could play written music exactly, though rather mechanically. A musician is not just a Inechanic. He must be something of an artist also. So everyone, if he thought of it at all, supposed that the violin must naturally go to Richard. That is, everyone but Gilbert. He did everything better than anyone else, and he knew it. His manner became quite assured, his step, his voice, his air. 113 Then Lain Clark came to the little town. He cast a strong influence over Gilbert, being older than he and from the city. Mrs. Yardley worried not a little about her boy 's association with Clark, his enthusiasm over the wonderful places and experiences he was told of by the city chap. 'His visit ended by Gilbertis secretly accompanying him on his return and carrying the violin with him. Upon the advise of Clark, Gilbert went to a lawyer. He explained his father 's wish to him, and then played Brahm's Waltzfl The lawyer fixed a paper stating that he had passed the test and the violin was his. This docu- ment Gilbert sent to his mother, nothing more. Clark's motive was to induce Gilbert to sell the violin and for the two to start in some kind of small business on the proceeds. fWVhat d'ya think it'll bring, Kid? asked the almost too helpful and encouraging Clark. UI d0n't know exactly how many dollars. Father always said it was price- less. Ought to be a lot. I've heard of 'em bringing as much as 955,000-but- But what?', f'Oh, nothing. Then after a pause, Oh, Clark, I can't! No, I can't! 'Canit what? Clark looked in a superior way at the boy. Gilbert was still a Yardley, and he could not part with their treasure. Con- sequently, Clark dropped him disgustedly in the city, alone. Too proud to return home, Gilbert found employment as printer's devil. It was hard! Oh, dreadfully so! Yet the world dealt more kindly with him than with many similarly placed. His ability was really great, his assurance aided also. He persevered, and success did follow. Year by year he worked steadily and finally he reached the presidency of the Wlalton Publishing Com- pany. It is quite a different Gilbert whom we see heading the Board of Directors of the company at its annual banquet in one of the large hotels of the city. On the breaking up of this party, when all were in the high spirits of fellow- ship, one of the other directors, a Mr. Wzirren, came up to Gilbert and half jokingly said: 'fSay, Yardley, would you do an old friend a favor, and maybe enjoy your- self incidentally besides?U 'fIld do you a favor any day, Old Top. As for enjoying myself, I'm out for anything. HYVell, I've a couple of tickets to a benefit concert at the Grand. I 'm rather anxious to hear it, but hate to go alone. You used to know something about fiddling, yourself, eh? So more in deference to his friend than otherwise, Gilbert accepted. Entering the concert late as they did, they failed to get programs. VVarren remarked : HOur own company printing hundreds of them and here we are without a single one between us. I don't even remember the name of the violinist, though Iive heard a mighty lot about him. Gilbert 's ears were for the music alone. He was silent during the remainder of the program. Wlieii the violinist, coming back for an encore, played t'Brahm's XValtzi' sweetly and sadly, NVarren noticed Gilbertis head was bent low and supported by his hand. In the hall was perfect quiet except for the master musician playing the masterpiece of Brahms. Everyone was impressed, but Warren was amazed at the attitude of his business friend. After the last curtain call, Gilbert rose and excusing himself from NVarren made his way quickly to the stage. Advancing to the portege of the evening he spoke: IK 114 My boy, if anyone ever deserved aid it is you. I have something I wish to give to you, not only for your benefit but to lighten a burden on my own heart as well. I have in my possession an Amati violin, a rare old instrument that I should be glad for you to have. It has been in my family many years, but nown-now it is not in use. You need it more than I. Where are you stay- ing tonight? I shall be glad to bring it to you tomorrow. The violinist thanked his benefactor sincerely and graciously. On asking his name he stepped back quite startled at the answer. Then with fire, HGilbert Yardley? An old Amati? Yeslw Then more quietly and meditatively, '4But you said to lighten a - you still have it- Enthusiastic members from the audience crowded about the young man. The two were forced apart. NVhen the confusion was over and the violinist turned to leave, he saw Gilbert still standing at the back of the stage. Rushing to him he said, Uncle, my father is waiting for me. You must come home with us tonight. We are now living in the cityf' He led Gilbert, too bewildered to speak, fromthe stage door to a small open car in the street. Its only occupant was sitting at the wheel. Grasping the arm of this man, Gordon placed his hand in that of his companion. VVhen Gilbert retired somewhat later it was not to sleep, but to ponder on the events of the evening, to realize their significance, and to plan for the future of Gordon Yardley, the pride, the joy, the hope of Richard. Gordon, in whom the genius of father, grandfather, and all those ancestors who had played the old Amati, was inherent and amplified, who, in spite of poverty, had won recog- nition, and had brought the brothers together again and forever! Railroads and Real Estate Taken from life. By V ERNEIL PARTLOXV Honorable Mention, Merwin Cup Contest Sixty years of hard work and immaterialized hopes had left their mark on Jerry's face. No longer did his face flaunt that pleasant gentle look of good will toward all mankind. No longer did his weazened face light with pleasure at the approach of a fellow man. Instead of all this, his face had taken on the aspect of a man, infinitely old, wise in the ways of fickle humanity, but withal disinterested in all matters worldly. His eyes had lost their luster, his shoulders drooped, his tired limbs cried aloud for peace and restweven oblivion. Every drooping line in his ancient body suggested weariness, and inevitable despair. For thirty years Jerry had run the elevator in the NVarner Building. Every morning, he had risen, dully conscious of the call of duty, and taken his place in the great wire cage that had been more of a home to him than the single miserable bedroom in which he wrung out his night 's rest. Today as Jerry sat in the elevator on the first floor of the building, he saw the door to the hall suddenly fly open, and two gentlemen catapult into the room. These gentlemen seemed greatly dismayed at losing so valuable a thing as their equilibrium, and floundered wildly in a mad endeavor to regain it. Jerry noticed that one of the men was a stout, florid individual, with scant wind but an abundance of cheerfulness, which was made manifest in a wide, good-natured grin he bestowed on Jerry. The other fellow was small, wizened, 115 sour-looking, and Jerry instantly knew he could dislike this fellow as much as he liked the ilorid-faced gentleman. On recovering their balance, this strangely assorted pair entered the ele- vator, with about as much amiability as a couple of Barnum 's prize Wildcats. Tenth floor, they explained to Jerry. Old Jerry pushed the lever and with a monotonous purr the great cage swung upward. One, two, three floors passed. Up, up, up, they climbed. Eight, nine- crash! A grinding of brakes, a short descent, and with a sigh, the elevator settled back-stalled between the ninth and tenth floors! The fat man, surprised into a slight pallor, nervously hummed a tune in a vain endeavor to retain his fast-waning courage. His small wizened companion glared at Old Jerry, vividly expressing his opinion of old 'teodgersn who weren't good for anything, except to occupy a kid's job, and hold up the progress of commerce! Jerry, not in the least diseoncerted by his passenger's apparent opinion, cupped his hands and called down the shaft. Soon a voice came hurtling up from the murky depths below: '4Hey! You, Jerry! You needn't be afraid. 'Leetrieity turned off for a while, that 's all. Nothini to get scared over. The brakes will hold you. Upon hearing this, both passengers groaned and grabbed their watches. 'tIn a hurry J! inquired Jerry, complacently pulling an old pipe out of his pocket. '4Don't mind if I smoke, do you? 'tIn a hurry! rasped the smaller of the two passengers. Oh! no! Not at all! At least J ones, he added maliciously to his companion, HYou can't beat me to his office. You're stalled as well Il 'tI'm not worryingf' responded the fat man, placidly. But I hardly think it fair to talk riddles before our friend, the elevator boy, without explain- ing them. You see, turning to Jerry, t'It appears that we shall have quite a little sojourn in this ten by ten box of yours, so we might as well get acquainted. I am Ezeekiel Jones, representing the Standard Chain 'Company of Columbus, Ohio. And this is my fellow laborer and deadly rival, Mr. Corbett, of Corbett Sa Hayden Chain Company, the only rival of the Standard Chain Company, in Columbus. ' ' Old Jerry roused himself from his pipe long enough to observe, HPleascd to meet you. My name 's J erryf' 'tNice name-'Jerryf' continued the voluble Mr. Jones. 'tThere was once a man in Columbus by that name. A real poor fellow, so poor that when his parents died, when he was twenty-one, he was left nigh penniless. In fact, my friend, he is the cause of this trip which I am taking for my company and in which Mr. Corbett represents his company. The fact is, we were both on our way to a certain real estate oflice on the tenth floor of this building, when this-er-accident took place. Whielievei' one of us who arrived first would have got the deal and made his company. 'tllll beat you yet!'i announced the tactful Mr. Corbett. '4You just wait and see l Old Jerry, mildly curious, demanded to hear more. I 've been in Columbus myself, once or twice, he explained. Mr. Ezeckiel Jones took a deep breath and a fresh hold on his narrative, then continued: In the first place, this Jerry was left with a few odd dollars when his parents died and he was advised to invest it in some worth while land. Being honest himself, he did not doubt the sincerity of the real estate agent who in- 116 duced him to buy four acres of land in the outskirts of the town. He paid his money, was given a deed, and decided to go out and take a look at his purchase. Imagine his chagrin, on discovering that he had purchased a swamp, a mere drainage spot for the town. Discouraged but cautious, he placed the sale of his land in the hands of Arthur Hammond, well-known real estate agent, with the provision that, should Hammond ever find a buyer, he would have to wait a month for the consent of the owner, before he could sell it. Jerry-Jerry- what was his name, Corbett? 'tYou know as well as Il snapped Corbett, viciously, and I should think you could find a more profitable way in which to waste your time talking to an old codger who doubtless hears about half you say, and understands about half of that. After flinging this off his mind, Corbett returned to his corner of the elevator and sat down sullenly. And Jerry, to his great surprise, discovered that his pipe had gone out. He struck a match and holding it to his pipe, threw his poor weazened features into full relief. It could be seen that his facial muscles were contorting strangely and framing queer frowns on his face--for Jerry was thinking. The voluble Mr. Jones settled back comfortably in one corner of the elevator and with a blissful sign of contentment, resumed his story. UI remember his name-Jerry Atwood, that's it. NVell, after easing his mind concerning the land he owned, Atwood went away. No one knew where. In fact, no one cared, for Jerry was a quiet fellow, anyway, and made few friends. :tHe has been gone about forty years now and during his absence a most miraculous thing has happened. His land or rather his swamp, was in the shape of a triangle, tiiat-iron swamp,' the folks called it. About ten years after Atwood's departure, the Pennsylvania Railroad was built through Ohio, it came directly through Columbus. Strange to say, it ran right along the edge of Atwood 's triangular strip of land and framed one side of it. Not long after, the Yokum Valley Railroad was begun. It came through Columbus and crossed the Pennsylvania Railroad at one corner of this land, thus framing another side of the swamp. And it was about six years later that the Ohio Central Roalroad was built. It was a miracle, one of those strange unaccountable things that happen but once in a hundred years-for the Ohio Central framed the only remaining side of Atwood's worthless fflat-iron swamp l' There it was, a worth- less swamp, framed in by three important railroads. Ezeckiel Jones paused for breath and to let the significance of his story impress itself on Old Jerry. The latter's face twitched, his eyes sparkled- that was all. But Jones knew he had made an impression, so he rubbed his chin reflectively and dove headfirst into the middle of his story. By this time, explained the fat man, Hthe city of Columbus had im- proved its drainage system and the swamp land, hemmed in on all sides by rail- roads, was drained. That left a fiat lake bottom, excellent for building purposes, My company, the Standard Chain Company, was not slow to realize the value of this strip of land, bordered as it was by three systems of transportation. VVe decided to build a new factory on it. But here was an obstacle. How were we to find the owner? For three weeks we have been searching far and near for a clue to his whereabouts. At last, as a result of extensive advertising we received word of a real, estate agent, situated in this building, who had power to sell this land, that is, with the consent of the owner, on a month 's notification. But it seems that Mr. Corbett, representing our most feared rival, also received word, for when I arrived at the door of this building a short time ago, he bumped into me, as I entered. You know the rest. NVhichcver one of us reaches 117 the real estate agent 's office first will get the land and make his company a fortune. It seems that the agent, himself, has forgotten all about the land, or else lost his record of it. Mr. Corbett, who had been listening all this time sneered superciliously. Jerry said nothing. Recollections were crowding themselves on his poor old memory and he looked at once dejected and hopeful. There was a patter of footsteps on the stairs which wound around the elevator. Corbett looked out and smiled. For there was a man winding his way slowly up the stairs to the tenth floor. He cried out exultantly: There! Look there, Jones! I'll have you know our company doesn't do things by halves! Do you know who that man is? I do! That fellow is our second representative! I told you we would beat you. Ezeckiel Jones groaned. It was hard to be beaten at the last moment. He heard a door slam on the tenth floor. Silence. Corbett 's representative was probably already making a deal with the real estate agent. How hopeless everything now seemed! Even the 350,000 he had intended to offer' for the land now seemed so pitifully weak and inadequate. There was only one possible way to get the land, to in some way locate Jerry Atwood, and that Within a month. His reverie was rudely broken by the harsh voice of Mr. Corbett. 'tYou thought I was crazy, didn 't you? I don 't take any chances. While you were wasting your time talking to this old codger, my assistant was patiently climbing the stairs so as to be on hand in case I failed. Oh! No! My company doesn't do things by halves ll' There was an awkward silence, during which Jones gazed morbidly at the floor and Corbett smiled slyly at his cunning. They seemed to have forgotten Old Jerry who sat quietly in his corner. Suddenly both men were astonished to see Jerry rise slowly to his feet and laugh dryly. A dry rasping laugh it was, hollow in tone, but greatly expressive. It was not a mirthful laugh. Far from it. It was cold, bitter. Jerry straightened up, and tottered over to the two passengers. He spoke slowly and distinctly. t'Gentlemen, he said. 'tFor over thirty years I have run this elevator. For over thirty years I have been little more than a captive slave in this wire cage. I thought I was poor, I knew I was poor, in the eyes of men I have been poor. But now-at last, after these long years of waiting-now! Gentlemen, may I introduce myself? I am Jerry Atwood! An Apple a Day A COMEDY IN ONE ACT BY ELIZABETH At5sTIN, '26 C71 aracters : Mrs. Alexander Smith CEmilyj Mrs. Samuel Harland CGertrudeJ Alexander Smith, Jr. Place: Living room of Smith home. Time: Eleven o'clock, Saturday, A.M. The curtain rises on a cozy living room, with a fireplace at center back, at either side of which is a low bookcase, and above each a small window. Exits at 118 both right and left, the one at left is apparently the outer door of the house. In the corner at right, making an angle with the bookcase, is a stand and tele- phone. There are about four chairs arranged comfortably,-a pair of rather large upholstered ones, a colonial rocker, and a straight chair by the 'phone A victrola stands at left, toward the front. From behind the curtains may be heard a phonograph record which should be recognized by the audience as a reducing record. This is heard for several minutes, accompanied by repeated thumps on the floor. The curtain rises, disclosing Mrs. Smith. awkwardly going through the motions of the exercise. She is dressed in very full black gym bloomers, and a white middy several sizes too small. 'Her hair is bobbed but most of the locks are fastened rakishly above her ears. Black tennis slippers and light, chiffon hose complete her costume. She keeps up her exercise for several minutes before a light tap sounds on the door at left, it opens, and a lady enters, dressed in street clothes and with several packages under her arm. Mrs. Harland: Emily! XVell of all-Do you get those often? For pity 's sake, I never in my life-Oh, if you could see yourself! CShe drops weakly into a chair.j Mrs. Smith, twhirling about suddenly at the sound of voicej VVell, Gertrude, I confess I don't admire your sense of humor. Perhaps I don 't look like a Paris model, but-well, for goodness sake, what has brought you here at this time in the morning? Mrs. Harland: Emily, please shut off that crazy machine. I can it hear what you say. CEmily shuts it off.j I just stopped for a moment, on my way home from town, to ask you about that affair at Sam 's club that I've heard rumors about. tShe notices the cold expression on her friend is facej Now, my dear, you know I wasn't making fun of you. XVhy, that outfit is simply stunning. But really I didn 't know that you-Oh, say, has Alec ever seen you that way? Mrs. Smith: Well, no, heis never home in the mornings and I, er, well, this is the only time I have, you know, and- Mrs. H., laughing: VVhy, Em, dearest, I'm sure hetd think you a poor, dear martyr, because it must be very unpleasant to go through all those gyra- tions. Oh dear! tShe wipes tears of laughter from her eyes.D Mrs. S. C goes to a chair, sits down and tries to collect herselfj : Gertrude, do throw back your coat. Wher-e are my manners? It 's fearfully hot in here and I know you must be almost roasted. Mrs. H., throwing back her wraps: Oh it is not too hot here, Em. You've been engaged in rather vigorous exercise, you know. But tell me, how long have you been doing that? Mrs. Smith: VVhy, to begin with, I've always had the strongest principles on how to keep healthy. I haven 't the slightest bit of faith in all these treat- ments which people take when all they need is a little mental pep and will power. Gertrude, I wouldnit be hired to call a doctor as some folks do for crazy little insignificant things. When Junior looks bad, I just send him out with his wagon or something like that. Of course, he scorns wagons, now, but he gets plenty of exercise, anyhow. Mrs. Harland: It seems to me Iive seen Junior at my house a good deal, lately, Emily, and I couldn't that he and Louise get exactly worn out by over- exertion. Mrs. Smith: But my dear girl, what can you expect from children in their teens? But then? Oh, yes, why, do you know, it' you once get in the habit of say- ing your Day by day, in every way formula, if you exercise cvcry day for an hour, it' you- 119 Mrs. Harland: Do you have to wear those clothes? Mrs. Smith: Of course, Gertrude, that 's more than half of it. They get you into the spirit of it, you see. If you exercise a little each night and morn- ing, if you are careful to count your calories, you never need pills or powders. Just take our family for an example. I'm always well. I never worry about Junior's health, he and his father are never ill, and I pride myself that I keep my so-called 'Lschool-girl-complexion,' and youthful figure by these exercises and my diet. I never let myself eat any cake or sweets at meals. I believe in the 'fApple a Dayl' motto, you see. tThe telephone rings and Mrs. S. goes across the room to answer it.D Hello! Yes, Junior. Why, yes, lunch at twelve, of course. No, your father won't be here, but what in the world does it matter-you what? An accident? Junior! 'What do you mean? Are you sure, I mean where are you? Come home this minute! I'm sure I-Hello! Are you there? CTurns to Gertrudej Oh, he 's hung up and I don lt know what's the matter with him. Oh, what has the child been doing? Mrs. Harland: Stop looking so upset, Emily. 'Come back and sit down and tell me what he said. Did I hear you Haccidentn? Mrs. Smith C drags herself across the room and sits down heavilyj : Yes, that 's what he said, but it didnlt seem to worry him much. He asked several times if Alec were coming home this noon and he knows that he hardly ever does come at noon. I can 't imagine why he should ask! Mrs. Harland: Emily! Oantt imagine why! Don't you see, he isn't anxious to see his father right at present. I think this begins to look interesting. Mrs. Smith: Oh, I expect it does look interesting to you. You haven 't a son to bring up or any of the worries that I have. All you have to do is tell Louise to be good and do as you do and then you can go shopping in the mornings while I have to stay at home. Mrs. Harland, laughing: Yes, stay at home and follow a lot of silly directions for reducing! Two or three morning walks to town would do you twice as much good if you only knew it, Emily. But what are you worrying about Junior for? VVhere have all your health principles gone? And for bring- ing up a. girl, did you ever try it? Mrs. Smith, beginning to cry: Oh, I kn-know you 're making fun of me. Y-you think I 'm in-inconsistent, and it is all a b-big joke to you, but can't you see. Junior has had an accident, a t-terrible one, I know, and I'm all alone and no one sympathizes with me and-oh dear! tVVhistling is heard outside, door opens at left, Junior walks in. His left arm is in a sling, but he greets his mother and her friend pleasantlyj Junior: Hello, Mother! Lunch ready yet? Oh, how do you do, Mrs. Harland? Mother, your garb is most becoming! 'A new type of dinner frock, eh? Mrs. Smith: Alexander Smith, Junior! You!ve broken your arm! Where were you-why didn 't you-oh! CShe covers her face with her hands a moment. then starts up and rushes to him, grasping his shouldersj Oh, boy, boy, why didnit you tell me when you phoned? Oh, Ilm all to pieces! XVho fixed it? Has it been set? Did you go to a- Junior: Yes, Mother, the deed is done. I have been to a doctor. He fixed me up keen. Gee, it did hurt, though, when he set it, believe me! CThis remark for Gertrude 's benefit, with thoughts of Louise 's admiration in view.D Mrs. Smith: I know it hurt just awfully. But did you fall? Does your father know about it? Junior: Heavens, no, Mother. Dadld raise Cain ,cause I've got to drive him to Greensbnrough this afternoon. It isn't a bad break. l. just fell off a 120 ladder while I was doing some decorating at school this morning. Nothing to it at all. Mrs. Smith: Junior, what doctor did you go to? Oh, llm afraid Ilm going to faint! Mrs. Harland fwho has been listening half-amusedlyl : Come now, Emily, con- trol yourself. Yes, tell us, what doctor had the honor? Junior: Why, er, Dr. Browne, I guess his name was. 'He's a good old chap. Knew the family, he said. Used to know you well, Mother,-news to me. Mrs. Smith: Oh, yes, he's a wonderful physici-that is, I mean I'm very glad you went to him if you had to have one. Oh, I guess I'll call him now, I want to ask him what to do for you, and you know, Gertrude, I've been having the queerest mental sensations. I'm afraid my nerves are going back on me. Perhaps I'd better have him look me over. Junior: Oh, Mother, don't call Dr. Browne! Hels very busy now and you Mrs. couldnlt get him. You don lt have to do anything for me. I have to go back to him, tomorrow. Your nerves are all O.K. Just excitement, you know. Smith: You hush, young man! You ,ve worn me out enough already. Oh, what a family!

Junior has just come in with his broken arm. Was it very bad? What? Why, Dr. Browne, please don 't try to evade me. You say you don 't know anything about it? I'm afraid I don 't understand. WVell, of course, you ought to know. Thank you. CShe hangs up the re- ceiver and whirls to Junior.J Junior, he says you haven't been there at all! Will you kindly explain yourself? Junior: The dirty crook! Guess I might as well tell you, Mother.

I went to Dr. Browne 's and he fixed me up the regular way. See, my arm's all right. tHe waves it around.D 1'm sorry to have worried you so, Mother. I honestly thought you wouldn't mind. Smith, looking at him in astonishment: Alexander, you ought to be spanked! I never was so upset in my life! I know I've lost twenty pounds! Harland, rising and putting on her wraps: Well, dear, isn't this way better than a lot of crazy exercises? Smith: Gertrude! Oh, to think that you'd go to teasing me too!

As I have sat for hours thinking of nothing, I am justified in representing myself as an authority on this subject. This is a theme worthy of consideration by our greatest American writers and statesmen. Congress and our legislatures have often spent entire sessions talking of nothing and doing nothing. We often hear of lovers whispering sweet nothings in fair ladies' ears. Perhaps they are saying that nothing is greater than their love. After a comprehensive survey of thistopie we discover that to some people nothing is better than money. Let those of us who are ftbroke rejoice because we have nothing. Of course a man alone in a desert with nothing around him and to whom nothing would be better than food and water would gladly sacrifice himself and give nothing for a good meal. I recall that when I was in the fifth grade a teacher made the remark that nothing was better than good, hard, earnest study. However, one day when she asked me what I was doing and I replied 'tNothing, she reprimanded me very sharply. Nevertheless, I believe her statement, as my past scholastic record will show. As I think that nothing could be worse than this theme, and my worthy instructor has asserted that nothing is better than a good theme, this production being better than nothing and nothing being better than nothing and nothing being better than a good theme, this work of art merits A plus at least. I have heard that nothing is harder than the final examination in the sub- ject which required the writing of this article, so as I love hard things, I do not hesitate to suggest to a sympathetic and obliging teacher that on that occa- sion she ask us nothing. 1 S 4 Armin s Kite HENRY SMITH, '27 The fire in the old rustic fireplace danced to the tune of its own snapping and crackling and put us all in a reminiscent mood. Sampson, the black man of-all-work at our cabin in the north woods had just mentioned that it was hereabouts that an enormous kite with a wingspread of some fourteen feet had been killed some years before, after it had annoyed the neighborhood for quite a while with its thievery. All during the recital of the episode Old Man Laribee had been stirring uneasily in his easy chair and scarcely waiting for Sampson to conclude his narrative he burst out, t'That reminds me of the time back in Snickersburg when Armin Podd made that famous kite of his. And so knowing nothing could stop him, we leaned back and prepared for what might come, and to the best of my ability I have set it forth here. 'fArmin Podd had not been christened Armin Podd. If the truth were known, a well-meaning but imaginative mother had christened him Arminius Lucius Snillmore Podd. But as soon as little Arminius had reached the age of five years he had vetoed all but the Armin and the Podd and never allowed the rest to be spoken in front of him. His argument for keeping the Armin and 122 the Podd was simple. Armin was the best part of a bad bargain and the Podd could not be helped. Nevertheless Armin had more than a name for a heritage. He also had been given an imagination, unusually vivid. When Armin was twelve the imagination to which the neighborhood had by now grown accustomed had made him the leader of his gang and one of the influential boy leaders in Snickersburg. So when he conceived the idea of making his Kite, all the small boys in the community were willing and ready to help. At that time he was but thirteen and his body having grown as fast as his imagination he was four feet six inches tall and six feet four inches around. The idea of the Kite was suggested by a certain old Amos Kuhr, who was noted for his original fairy tales, and by the reading of Jules Verne's 'iTrip to the Moon. The summer vacation had just started and Armin with his two chums, Bill Stormer and Jack Bartell, had gathered their most intimate followers to- gether in the Podd barn and were elucidating the principles upon which the Kite was to be made. HYuh see, said Armin, HThis Kite is gonna be so big it 'll 'Hy and carry a man! Aw, it won 't work, came back the chorus from the unenlightened multitude. But their attitude had changed at the end of Armin 's talk and from thence- forth until the Great Day there was no need of further persuasion. Pennies, nickels and a dime or two that otherwise would have been spent on candy were put in the public treasury to finance the undertaking. These contributions to his cause started the town talking so that when Armin went down town to pur- chase thirty-six square yards of tailorls canvas, the grownups took a real interest in his project. But all that could be seen by the most careful spying was some of the boys carrying mysterious looking bundles into Podd's barn. At their homes the boys could not be persuaded to say a word on the matter. By the end of June all of Snickersburg was talking of Armin's Kite, as people in small towns will talk of that about which they know nothing. Poor Mrs. Podd was as much in the dark as the rest of the town. although Armin had asked her at one time if he could not take out a partition in the barn. As the barn had previously been given him for a workshop she had to consent and the next day the sounds of ripping boards and the screeching of clinched nails being pulled out were heard by people passing the Podd house. And hammering and sawing commenced in the Podd barn. It is recorded in Snickersburg history that a marauder tried to enter the Podd barn one night. VVhether it was one of the few boys of Snickersburg not admitted to Armin's secret must be left to conjecture, but what is known is that a large piece from the seat of a pair of blue overalls was saved for posterity by the Podd bulldog! This piece of cloth may be seen at any time in the Snickersburg Historical Room at the Court House. Another week went by and Armin announced to the people of Snickersburg that the date of the initial exhibition would be in about two weeks. This created great excitement but a greater furor was produced when he purchased two one thousand foot spools of heavy hemp rope at the lumber yard. Armin announced that he would hold the exhibition or trial flight at the Fair Grounds and an admission charge of twenty-five cents would be made. People waited impatiently for the day, and when it finally came, every seat in the bleachers was sold. At the appointed hour Armin and his troop of helpers drove in through the big gate carrying an enormous box eighteen feet long and four feet wide in an old spring wagon. He announced through a megaphone that he would fly the kite from the roof of the grandstand. Immediately his 123 helpers unpacked the box and carrying the pieces of the Kite to the roof, started to put it together. The Kite proved to be in the shape of a huge isosceles triangle about eighteen feet from vertex to base. It was made of stout two by four timbers spiked together with a bowed crossbar which was a two by six board bowed by a stout wire cable and a similar cable was tied in front by which to Hy the Kite. This framework was covered with the tailor 's canvas that he had bought and to this framework was tied a stout hempen rope, and for its tail he had used another piece of the rope with a noose in the end. Many conjectures as to what would be put in the loop were made and some ventured to suggest such things as a sack full of bricks or an iron stove. Wliile three boys held the Kite in place on the roof Armin climbed down the ladder to the spring wagon and spliced the end of the spools of rope which Jack and Bill were handling by means of a windlass to the Kite's cable. Then climbing the ladder, he answered the question as to what would be used in the noose, by tying the loop tightly about himself and signalling the spring wagon to start. There was a jerk as the horses felt the weight of the Kite and then it swung free from the grandstand. There was a shout from the spectators as the Kite rose slowly over their heads with Armin dangling at the end of the rope. He was the tail! The horses had gone perhaps a dozen paces when above the shouts of the crowd was heard the crack as of a pistol shot, and the Kite hovered a moment and then swooped earthward, Armin well in the lead. The splice had failed to hold! The Kite fell swiftly on account of its weight but the boy hit the ground first and as the Kite struck the ground one of the heavy timbers cracked off and half stunned Armin with a blow on the head. The crowd gasped at this unexpected turn of events. The spring wagon was hurried to the spot and the injured boy was rushed home in it. After hovering between life and death for a while he decided to live but not in Snickersburg. So after he had sufficiently recovered they packed up and moved, leaving no forwarding address. The old timer stopped speaking and looked around. His whole audience slept excepting me and so out of politeness I asked, 'fVVhat became of Armin 's Kite, Mr. Laribee? The old timer looked at me with a quizzical smile that showed his appre- ciation of my interest and said, HAbout a week before Armin left, his mother held an auction of the pieces of the wrecked kite and sold enough souvenir bits to pay his doctor bill.

Everywhere Purple! Now purple in its milder and less pernicious forms may be regarded as an asset-witness the gentle orchid hue. Also royal purple with its redeeming quality of kingly association-the lilac and the violet. But the peculiar shade which is the present obsession is a. hideous combination of the worst qualities of all these, aided and abetted by an alarming quantity which makes it ia de- cided liability. One does not need to have been Uborn to the purplei' to wear its color. We see the best oi' our youth and beauty drowned in deepest purple dye, while others not so beautiful and perhaps not so young, go gowned in the more deadly shades. It adorns every sho-w-window, and every woman from slim eo-ed to broadfhipped matron bears some mark of the purple scourge. From hats to hose, from Broadway to Main Street this color sounds the dominant note in any gathering. Its policy is to defy nature by proclaiming itself in the wildest and most abandoned manner. Pnder Natureis edict purple was reserved for one of the rarest and most elusive flowers, the orchid, for royal robes, and for autumn sunsets, not meant to fling itself blatently into the eyes of man at every turn, but to be regarded as a precious thing and to be sought after.

Higher up on the mountain dwells Youth with his parents, in a little thatched cottage. Youth is a good lad apparently contented to live among his mountain people. On this same morning a large limousine rolls up to the door and a large portly man alights. He is VVealth and with him is Ambition. VVealth tells Youth all about the great ship which sails from Christiania and of the huge cargo which will be brought back from Cairo. Youth is all enthusiasm and the following week, with many farewells for parents and friends, he embarks on the good ship Fortune. The captain is Bully and the sailors are Treacheries. After two days at sea a tempest arises and torn between storm and mutiny the ship puts in at Port Said, that port of missing men. Time wears on, days with a scorching tropic sun, nights with a yellow Egyptain moon, dark alleyways, evil brown faces, the gleam of ia knife, the click of a sword against its scabbard. Youthts meagre savings are spent, his friends have deserted him. Poverty and VVant are his constant companions and 125 Vice tries to ensnare him with her charm. VVealth and Ambition are shadows of the past. At last after weary weeks with Despair and Longing, Youth finds Remorse and together they set sail on the good ship Opportunity. Youth sees again the sunny skies of his native land. He has profited by Experience. Week cweallp-EHdS for Tll'16l'I'1SS hlARY SrEvENs, ?26 It is a generally accepted idea and an apparently unimpeachable one among members of the English teaching profession, that long assignments, especially those which include theme-work should be done with a greater facility and sprightliness of expression during that period, extending from Friday to Mon- day, commonly known as the week-end, and that in proportion to the time thus allowed the percentage of A-l-is resulting should be greatly increased. This collection of ideas is a vastly erroneous conception of the real state of affairs though undoubtedly true of the ideal. One hears, in English class on Friday, with a good deal of satisfaction the announcement that a theme is due for Monday, picturing the blissfully numerous hours which lie ahead to be spent in pouring out one's heart upon a subject which has long been simmering there. But one has reckoned without Chance, that careless fellow who may turn one 's life awry and sadly enough it is true that Hthe best laid plans o' mice and men go oft astray. On leaving school in the afternoon, one is inveigled into walking uptown, thereby casting away just two hours which might have seen a theme to its ulti- mate Hfinisw had one employed them upon it, for two hours is the least one can expect to spend ttwindow-shopping before one's companions are success- fully turned homeward by the thoughts of those evening engagements which occur with such uncertain certainty on Fridays. Then it is that thoughts just hopefully tiuttering theme-ward are again borne to earth by the realization that such things are not without a personal interest to us, since we too are scheduled to Hstep outf' However with the morrow before us full of infinite promise of free hours we sally forth. But, when next our eyes are opened upon the light of day we receive simul- taneously news which turn our Way, like that of the wicked, up-side down. H It is the fact that Mother has set her heart upon finishing our new dress before the sun sets upon another day and this can only be accomplished through our co- operation in attending to the various details of housework. Vllhen we ask, nay, plead that she postpone the dress she calmly shows us her list of things to be accomplished during the coming week and carefully explains just why none can successfully be interchanged with this. VVhat can one do with a mother like that? Nothing, absolutely. Especially when all the benelits to accrue are ours and mother requires only the assistance of our hands at the helm. So, without further waste of time, we rush through the morning's work answering the 'phone and doorbell countless times, refusing two invitations to while away the afternoon, with the statement that we plan to bury ourselves in our theme Uthe world forgetting, by the world forgot. But alas, when lunch and its conse- quent work are safely disposed of, mother calls from the upper regions to in- form us that she has run out of thread and that another spool is a positive necessity if we are to have anything at all to wear on the occasion for which the dress is planned. The appalling thought of having to send our regrets holds 126 us with chill grip for a moment, then we dash madly to match the thread, on our way meeting the two friends of the rejected invitations in whose greeting we guiltily seem to feel a trace of chill. Having run down the thread, rushed home and duly presented it, we settle ourselves with a sigh of relief to our Writing. After some little time during which we fail to find any special inspiration in our subject which is 'tLaw-Breakers perhaps because of the state of mind which prompts us to become one, we have succeeded in grinding out three paragraphs when the 'phone rings. Mother reaches the instrument before us and we hear her sweetly insisting that her listener Ucome right out to supperf' We kiss our manuscript fondly adieu and descend grumbling vaguely to assist in preparing a rcpast for the entertainment of our most elderly and voluble aunt. She comes, she eats, she talks all nightw is our unholy thought while we listen unwillingly to her gossip. At eleven-thirty we are called upon to go along when father takes her home and when we return and try to snatch a minute to scribble a few more sentences, we are commanded to come immediately to bed. Next day having duly attended Sunday School and Church, we are dragged out to dinner and only succeed in getting our family home in exchange for the awful news that company is invited for supper! This is the last straw and with it our last faint hopes are shattered till only a vestige of them remains, which lies in the forty-two minutes otherwise known as a study-hall period in which we will eventually produce our theme. We go to bed realizing that truly, HOf all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these-it might have been. A A Collegiate Car ISABICL HAERING, ,QT In the last few years, our college towns have been invaded by an ultra- modern specimen of automotive engineering. My cousin has one of these Hlate modelu ears. It was born in nineteen hundred fourteen and Hhas died many times since. It is an open air special having no top, engine hood or wind- shield. The body has no longer that tin you love to touchf' but, with the use of various kinds of war-paintu is, if not repulsive to the eye, exotic. The upholstering is slightly worn and the protruding springs jab viciously into the occupants of the car. About the doors, only two remain, these being held in place by the use of screen door springs which have not the tension to keep them from flying open and battering against the body, when the car is taking corners. The third door was lost when turning a corner, therefore causes us no trouble. The fenders no longer retain their symmetrical lines, having been mashed and battered in various encounters with their relatives on other cars. They have, however, been wired fairly firm in position. The headlights are of the old magneto type, and, although they furnish very little light for the driver, keep it from being hit by other vehicles. There is no tail-light, but a red lantern hanging from a rope on the left side in the back, answers this purpose very nicely. The gas tank leaks and needs oil, but never gets it. The radiator con- stantly calls attention to the fact that it needs water. The tires are in fairly good condition, with the exception of a few sand blisters, knots and breaks in the fabric. They all require boots, the four very seldom all being up at the same time. 127 Much of the squeaking is caused from loose lugs and dried-out spokes. Above all this, however, the car is very gentle and good-natured, and stays where it is put. In fact, on a cold morning, it has to be coaxed quite a bit before it will move. After spending from one-half hour to one hour in pleading and threatening, it will occasionally cough a little, whereupon it must be choked desperately. After a short spell of this, one or two of its lungs get into action. More choking! After this warming up process, when the engine is pounding and hammer- ing, the driver throws it into reverse. It hesitates, shivers, then, amid the chattering of transmission bands and growling of the differential, it slowly backs from the drive into the street. It then proceeds down the street on three cylinders, whizzing and sputtering amid rattling and clamorous noises of fenders, joints and engine trouble. Thus, with the radiator sending forth clouds of steaming vapor, it fades into the distance, which is seldom very great!

The True Student lllAURINE CHAPMAN, 326 Student is a general term applied to members of the sexes who attend high school and college. However this nomenclature can be given a more specific application. A scholar is a learned person, in other words, one who studies diligently, who recites well in class and is entirely uninterested in school activities or sports and who, if he conforms to the type, wears shell-rimmed glasses. This individual is not commonly seen about the school but a class is not complete without one. It is not advisable to attempt the becoming of a scholar. If one is naturally such, fulfill the duty of being the class scholar but otherwise do not attempt it. Another type seen about that site of knowledge is the sluggard. This chip ot flesh and blood is far too common for the mental ease of that branch of the 129 institution, called teachers. This drone is the person who attends school ir- regularly and has no interest in studies or work of any kind. He is out for a good time and takes at least tive or six years in which to complete a four year course. There is a medium between the sluggard and the scholar to which no suit- able term has been applied. This intermediate student is one who does fairly poor work and is quite a t'bear in the HFlapper or HSheik world depend- ing on his or her sex. New we come to the other type which we have called The True Studentf' The requirements of a true student are more than a few and not the least of these is friendliness. Never to grump or be ill-natured to an acquaintance, and be a cheerful companion to anyone you meet. Personality must be cultivated, for personal charm has great iniiuenee in the making and keeping of friends also in the success of an undertaking. Power in conversation is an important factor and one that many do not possess. Activity in clubs, offices and positions on committees helps this characteristic. All lessons must be well prepared and it is advised that one converse with the teachers on small matters of interest. This aids in interesting the instructor in the ambitious student. It is an honor to have a teacher call one by name in the hall or on the street. It is also re- quired that all the football, basketball and baseball games be attended. But since a silent spectator is of no value it is necessary to root for the home team with all the vim one has. All these things are not hard to do once the habit is started. There are many other qualities that the true student ought to possess but those come naturally when the above mentioned ones are acquired. Merely study the as- signments, have plenty of ready answers, be a good mixer and one is a true student. The Night Watch lXIUR1E1. FREEMAN, '27 It was a few minutes before seven, when Carolyn Berkley walked quickly down the straight, narrow street, to the city hospital, where she would take up her duties for the night. The roar of the marching feet of the pedestrians was as though muted by the still evening air. The streets lay though musing be- tween the setting of the sun and the rising of the theater curtain. The drivers of the taxi cabs looked inquiringly, impersonally, at all who looked their way. Carolyn stood at the foot of the hospital steps and watched the hurrying crowd. Very few glanced at the great building filled with suffering. Carolyn loved her training, even the night work, which was so hard. But on night duty she didn't see him, at all, or only from a distance, and that was dreadful. She had heard of him the very first day and it is perfectly certain that during her entire probation period, he never saw her at all. Carolyn used to listen to him coming down the hall. Thud, thud, he came walking with that peculiar authority which belongs to the staff alone. And thud, thud, went Caro- lyn's heart. One always heard him for he slammed things. The nurses in the operating room would burst into a frenzy and in the surgical wards, little proba- tioners would run around and straighten things. He took everything for granted, and everyone simply roared at his feeblest jokes. His was name Morgan, and he was a surgeon. According to the school, hc was a great surgeon. 'tlt is a treat to watch him, someone told her, But it is dangerous, too. 130 'WVl1y?'i asked Carolyn. The girl sighed and said, He has a terrible temper and if anything goes wrong, he is a perfect beast to work tor. He even throws things. But Carolyn was not thinking of these things as she slipped around in her rubber-soled shoes, filling hot water bottles and putting on hot mustard plasters. The work was hard and she did not have time to dream. After she had been on night duty awhile she began to think that life was sort of moon-flower, which only shows his heart in the darkness. It was at night that babies were born, and people died. It was at night that tragedy won out and emergencies came in. She began to know the rumble of the ambulance as it came up the street. The elevator sometimes passed her floor and moved quietly toward the operating room, with its police and internes grouped around some quiet figure on a stretcher. The operating room lights flashed on, operating room nurses appeared, as though by magic, steam hissed through sterilizers, gleaming instruments were ready at hand, sterilized dressings and utensils, always in readiness, were laid out on the tables and covered with sterile sheets. The anaesthetist had put the patient safely asleep and four hands worked as though directed by one brain, It reminded one of a two-piano duet,-sureness, gentleness, speed, coordination. The operating room was again dark, everything was in order. There might be another emergency before morning, but the hospital was always ready, day and night, week after week, month after month, and year after year. One night they brought in a young bride who had been shot by her hus- band. It was terrible. Her shrill screaming could be heard all over the hos- pital. It frightened the young mothers and two little girls in the children's ward. The whole house seemed awake, and half of the town was there asking questions, sending telegrams and long-distance telephone calls. The local phone rang continuously. It seemed as if the whole police torce were there also. Things did not quiet down until almost three olcloek, but Carolyn hurried from one patient to another giving medicine, filling ice packs, applying hot dressings, and little Bobby called for a drink every fifteen minutes, until Hnally he, too, drop- ped off to sleep. The morning sun came pouring in the windows as Carolyn slowly made her way down the corridor. A man came stalking around the corner and nearly walked over her. lt was Dr. Morgan. And this time he noticed her. Perhaps it was because she was terribly thin and rather wan, but she was really very lovely. Her hair shone like black silver, and it waved like music,-and even a surgeon cannot successfully fight the microbe of affection. 'tl beg your pardonf' Carolyn said as she backed away from him. But he didn 't say a word, just kept his eyes on her. HHeavens! thought Carolyn as she almost ran the corridor, What a sneerf' The very good surgeon was unusually quiet that morning and when he found his bottle of glove powder empty, he didn't throw it on the floor, as the nurses expected, and they all thought he was going to be sick-C ?j. About half way through the morning he happened to think that Carolyn Berkley Calthough he didn 't know her nameb had thought he was sneering at her and immediately began slamming doors, and yelling for patients that were not ready on scheduled time. No one likes to be thought sneering, when he is, for a change, thinking. 131 And because Carolyn hated herself for being such a fool about him, and because the hospital made such a god of him, and because he was so good-look- ing, she did not sleep very well that day. It was a few nights later that it happened. Everything seemed to come at once. There had been a big train accident that day, and Carolyn unconsciously groaned as she lay on her little narrow bed and heard ambulance, police patrol, and service car drive into the arch over the receiving room. To start the night right, just as Doctor Morgan was about to operate, the lights went out over the entire hospital. They were only out three minutes, but it started him on the war path, and he raved until the operation was finished. Downstairs Carolyn was also having troubles. One of the accident victims was out of bed and walking the halls, talking at the top of his voice. An interne got him into bed in a few minutes, but he talked more in those few minutes than any other person with the same chest expansion in the country. It was impos- sible to keep him in bed so they locked the door with the interne with him. ln the next room was Carolyn ministering to an old man. He was a South- ern gentleman, and as he fought hard for his breath, he talked of his old home. He was fighting a losing battle. The doctor had said he would not last long- exposure, and then pneumonia. When he closed his eyes in the last long sleep, Carolyn 's eyes filled with tears. But her work there was done and she hurried to a little boy of the accident. His cries could be heard all over the wing, and as Carolyn came down the corridor the different noises sounded like a zoo and a madhouse. But Grandma Burr and Uncle John, old cronies, were snoring and sleeping right through. One man, a farmer, was driving his hogs in his delirium. Another woman was pleading with an unseen man to lock her son up as he was going to burn down the courthouse because he was smoking a cigar. Carolyn hurried from one mental patient to another, rubbing sore and ach- ing backs, giving medicines and irrigations, and calming a frightened child. Then for ten minutes not a sound was heard. No one groaned with pain, and there was that still hush just before something is bound to happen. A small red light flashed above Carolyn 's desk, a call for help in the nursery. lt was but a few minutes before a younger nurse came to relieve her and she almost ran down the hall. The infants isolation room, held but one tiny occupant, a baby boy, a few weeks old. The light was dimmed and the only sound was the labored breathing of the little sufferer, the gasping of a life so short. An anxious faced nurse in white was bending over the baby, never taking her eyes from it. It was easy to see that the baby was breathing its last few gasps. They were instantly keyed into action and during the next few minutes the quick sure-handed nurses became like perfect running machinery. The oxygen tank was started, gurgling forth its life-giving fumes. A hypodermic was relentlessly forced into the tiny thigh. No look of sympathy could be seen on the stern features of the nurses, no thought of the suffering mother and father in a near-by room, but their hearts were hurting with the tragedy, all these feelings must be expressed later, just now all the force of their being, every desperate effort must be bent toward sav- ing the little body. ttHas the baby been baptizedfn came almost harshly from one of the nurses. ttNo, was the reply, UGO quickly. The other obeyed and almost at once returned with a basin of water. The basin was an ugly thing, usually used 132 for ordinary purposes. Ilowever, on the moment, it had been transformed into a holy vessel containing holy water. The oxygen tank still bubbled and the blue-grayness continued to settle over the tiny features. The nurse dipped her fingers into the water and sprinkled the little face,- the breath was almost gone-and unrestrained tears fell from the eyes of each as the whispered words broke the stillness, I baptize thee in the name of the Father, a11d the Son, and the Holy Ghost. Amenf' As Carolyn slowly closed the nursery door, a shrill scream was heard through the hospital, and she ran to aid the intcrne. It was the man in fifty-two again. His hands were cold and clammy, his pupils dilated, and he thought he was send- ing communication by turning the handles of the water cooler. He thought water was running through the ceiling, he was impulsive and violent, and on the border of collapse with struggling. From time to time he had a half con- scious appreciation of the surroundings and the absurdity of morbid concepts and was momentarily diverted, only to become lost again in fantastic thoughts. He picked at the bedding and saw rats, creeping, crawling things. He was by turns incoherent, dazed, frenzied, and completely disoriented. Far down the corridor a taint weeping could be heard. It was little Bobby. He had probably had a bad dream, Carolyn thought, as she went to quiet him. As Carolyn opened the door she saw Bobby on the floor, and Doctor Morgan by his side. HOh, Doctor, what has happened? Is he all right? cried Carolyn, as she helped put the little boy in bed. The man in fifty-two must have frightened him, I guess, replied the doctor, I was just passing by on my way home. He was carefully and gently tueking the covers around the little patient saying, 'tYou had better stay with him for a little while, Miss Berkley, till he gets quiet again. t'Yes, Doctor. Doctor Morgan watched her straighten the room, then said, You have been very wonderful tonight, Miss Berkley. Carolyn didn't answer, there was nothing to say. She just tossed her head, and the dancing curls on each cheek trembled like voiceless bells. Bobby's sobbing had ceased, but still the Doctor stayed. Softly, caressingly, the light of day kissed the sky into blushing loveliness. The world was a sparkle with dew, and the mists of night were being torn by the sun. She went to the window and raised the blind. UIt's a wonderful life,'7 she said, and her face flushed with the rose of early dawn. A golden shaft of light fell through the glass of the window across the tiny bed and showed a pale little boy sound asleep .... t'Somcthing nice must have happened to Carolyn, said the night nurse from B ward, as Carolyn came into the dining room. She looks as if she is dreaming of Heaven. I am, replied Carolyn, I just came from there. Trouble With a Motor Car NATHANIEL NV1Nsi.ow, '30 It was eight olclock on the morning of the first day of April. This has nothing to do with my story but it is a fact. My friend and I were out for a 133 ride in my hobby, that is, my Ford. You see, everyone has his hobby and mine is a Ford. We swung into Main Street. I smiled approvingly at the ready response to the accelerator. My friend looked disgusted. Very unreasonable, that fellow! I remember that one day, when I had lectured for an hour on my hobby, he told me sympathetically that I was Hperfectly disgustingf, f'NVell,- , I began. Just then a truck whizzed by and left me with only three fenders. Then, just out of my love for perfect symmetry, I skidded around the corner and left another on a telephone pole. I looked at my friend. He was struggling for two things,-his composure and his position on the seat. Um-er-you know how to handle this thing, don 't you? he asked. O, yes, indeed, I responded grandly. At this moment the car gave a cough of despair, wheezed painfully, and came to a grinding standstill. I was frightened. My friend saw an opening for his disgusting sarcasm. 'tWhat now? he inquired sympathetieally. Have to see, I answered, jumping out confidently although I was des- perate with my true ignorance of the puzzling insides of a Ford. I crawled underneath, kicked a couple of parts, reentered the car and drove on. HVVhat a skillful mechanicln my friend said ironically. 'tNothing much, was my flattered response. As if in answer to my thrasonical remark, the car gave a final gasp and stopped. YVhat is it this time? My companion smiled his approval. UMust have lost a sparkplug or something, I responded in despair. For an hour I tinkered with that Ford and still the stubborn animal re- fused to move. My amused companion offered cruelly sarcastic suggestions all the while and my spirits fell as his rose. I finally sat down-defeated. HNow do you want me to HX it?l' inquired my friend in silvery tones that made me hate that metal from the mine to the silver ring on my finger. f'IfIow?H I gasped, astonished at his apparent wisdom. 'fBy using a different plugf' was the answer. I stared, utterly dazed by his composure. Before I recovered he had left, telling me that he was going to procure the plug. In ten minutes he returned straddling a shaggy, rather rickety farm horse. Did the plug's weight necessitate a horse?'f I inquired. He laughed, confident in the potentiality he straddled. Then, as he hitched the horse to the frame of my Ford, a great light dawned upon me. VVe departed, the old plug doing meritorious labor in conjunction with the frame, and I rich in the knowledge that there are plugs other than spark- plugs that will make a Ford run. The Angel of the Alley ELINOR FoRsv'rH, '27 Many strange tales have been told of the Ghetto, but none so strange as the untold story of Danny-the 'fAngel of the Alley. Danny and his twin sister, Rosemary, were young, eighteen to be exact, small-boned and slender with yellow curly hair and big blue eyes. Rosemary was considered beautiful, Danny merely effeminate. Their home was 'fthree 134 .-Z I flights up in a ram-shackle, weather-beaten tenement house. It was presided over by Granny, a querulous, old woman, whose dark hair straggled untidily about her withered cheeks and whose dim eyes flashed belligerently, if anyone dared criticize Rosemary. YVhen the twins were younger, Rosemary had played with the innumerable little Greeks and Italians of the neighborhood, while Danny had remained rather aloof and uninterested. Indeed, Rosemary had been the pivot about which their childish amusements had revolved. NVhen they had played f'Indian, she was Chief Heap-Big-Much, and when they had played HRobber. she was invariably the most reckless desperado. Then Tony had moved into the neighborhood, and one day Rosemary had discovered that she was on the outside, instead of the inside, of the little circle. You dirty little IVop, she had screamed as she llew at Tony, much as an angry kitten flies at a clueking hen. Tony, evidently a Hrm believer in equal rights for women and also in the fact that actions speak louder than words, had suddenly lost interest in his game of marbles, and had proceeded, silently but thoroughly, to slap Roscmary's face. It was then that Danny had interfered and when the fight was over, Tony had been nursing a black eye and a bleeding nose. Danny had been comforting Rosemary. After that Rosemary had never played with the neighborhood children. Instead she had sat on the steps of the tenement house and brooded, and com- plained constantly. The tight had made a difference in Danny, too. He had assumed a protective attitude toward Rosemary and had seemed to feel that, ungrateful as she might be, he must see that nothing harmed her. Both on account of this and on account of his appearance, he had been nicknamed The Angel of the Alley. Nevertheless, Rosemary was Granny 's favorite. VVhen they were sixteen, Rosemary and Danny had quit school and joined the great hoard of untrained wage-earners, Danny a shoe-clerk, Rosemary as a waitress. And still the twins were different. Rosemary 's salary was spent for perfume and silk stockings, Danny ls for rent, food and medicine for Granny. Granny was almost blind, now, and crippled with rheumatism. Her only joy in life was Rosemary. She almost worshipped her pretty granddaughter, and wished to spend all her evenings with Rosemary beside her. For a while Rose- mary did not mind this, but as she became more and more fascinated by the gay life of the night clubs, she seemed unable to resist their magic. Danny would take her place by the bed and often Granny knew no difference. If she did notice the change, Danny would explain that Rose had to work that night. Then when Granny went to sleep, he would slip away and go from cabaret to cabaret until he found Rosemary. At first she would ignore him and give him no chance to speak to her. But Danny was patient and Hnally his opportunity would come. Aw, Rose, he would plead, t, mon home. Granny 's alone an' besides I have to work tomorrow. l' G'wan home yourself, Rosemary would reply angrily, UYa know the way, don lt you? An, who left Granny alone, anyhow? But Danny always waited, and while he waited he danced, not as others danced, but with a certain unconscious grace that drew all eyes. The Alley had become accustomed to Rosemary's ideas of fashion, but, when she appeared with a boy bob, it was startled out of its usual tranquility. Danny was even more astounded. 4'Say, sis,'l he gasped, is that you, or am I seein' double?7' 135 f'It's me all right,'l laughed Rosemary. HAinlt this a darb of a hair cut? VVhy, what 's wrong Danny? You look so-sorta-funnyf' f'Nothinls wrong, Rose, he answered. HOnly, with that hair cut, you looked so much like me, I thought I must be seein? double. Rosemary grabbed him by the arm and pulled him toward a mirror. 'I Gee, she exclaimed, Hwouldn 't that croak you? NVhy, if you had a dress on, nobody could tell us apart. Danny laughed. f'It is funny. VVho?d a--f H Danf' interrupted Rosemary. I got an idea l Treat it kindly, kid, it 's in a strange placefi Aw, Dan. Oan't you listen to me a minute? asked Rosemary. There's a masquerade at the Orchid Oriole tonight. I was goin' as an Egyptian, but this will be lots better. Welll just exchange clothes an' you can pin this hair around your head. Nobody will ever guess what we did. Wonft that be keen? f'It ain't a bad idea at that, ' ' agreed Dan. Let fs try it. I 'll go first an' then, when Granny goes to sleep, you can come. How 's that? That night a golden-haired, blue eyed young woman was the 'fbelle of the ball? The other dancers forgot the moaning saxophones and the twinkling lights, and turned to watch her do the 4' Charleston. Finally, when the orchestra refused to play another encore, and the dancers were reluctantly preparing to leave, the manager touched this young woman on the shoulder, and asked if he might speak with her a minute. After that the Orchid Oriole boasted of a special nightly feature-the Charleston danced by Miss Diana Dennis. The whole Alley flocked to see the new attraction and Rosemary was the only one who ever knew that, before Danny slipped away from home, he donned a ruffled dress and became Miss Diana Dennis. The other night clubs heard of this dancing marvel and Danny was deluged with offers to appear in the finest hotels in the city. So, by day, Danny was a humble shoe clerk and by night, Miss Diana Dennis, the most famous dancer in the city. Rosemary was jealous, very jealous of her brother 's good fortune. She felt that she had started him on the road to success, and so should share in his profits. One night as Danny was returning home, she met him in the hall. 'fDanny, she demanded. HWhat do you do with all the kale you make? I showed you how to get it an' I think you ought to give me some. I'm flat broke and I gotta have some clothesf' fWVhy, Rose, said Danny. I didn 't know you felt like this. You know that all the extra dough I get goes for doctors for Granny. HOh, sure. I knew you'd say that,', replied Rosemary sarcastically. 'fOf course, it goes for Granny. You're such a little :Angel of the Alleyf UAW, sis, c'mon out of it. What's the use of bringin' in that stuff about me bein' an angel? It 's only fair to help Granny now, after the way she took care of us when we was kidsf, ' ' You can 't feed me that bunk, 7' retorted Rosemary. HWhat I want to know is-Do I get the cash? f'I'm sorry, Rose, replied Dan, but I haven 't. any extra. Ifll give you some next week, tho. Next week, my eye. Illl get it before then. Illl show you! The next night Danny left the night club early and hurried home to make peace with Rose. As he turned the last corner he saw a ffying figure rush up the steps of their home. HThat was Rosemary, he thought, 'fwhat was she in such a hurry about? Guess I'd better go see. He ran up the stairs only to find the door locked at the top. H Rose, he called softly, let me in. It 's me, Dan. 136 The door flew open and Rose pulled him inside and then hurriedly locked the door again. HOh, Dannyfl she sobbed, I've done it now! And I didn't mean to. Oh, I didnlt mean to! She told me it wasn't loaded! They're after me, Danny. Oh, don 't let 'em get me. 'tRose, exclaimed Dan. What have you done? Tell me, Rose. You must tell me! UI shot himf' 'tShot whofll' demanded Dan. UXYho did you shoot, Rose?,' 'tThe storekeeper. I dunno his name. I told him to stick 'em up or I'd shoot and that I just wanted a fur eoat. He stuek 'em up and then I got seared an' pulled the trigger. NVhen he fell, I dropped the coat and the gun and ran. And the police are after me now. Oh, don 't let 'em get me!'7 t'NVhere did you get the gun? implored Dan. HTell me, Rose. HEve Sanders gave it to me,'l wailed Rose. She said it wasn't loaded. She got a coat that way an '- Heavy footsteps were heard on the stairs. 'tHere they come, Danny, she whispered. HOh, what will I do?H Here, he ordered, 'tgive me your coat and hat. Thank God, I'm still dressed as a girl! I'll let 'em take me. UNO, no, Danny, you mustn't. HRose, I must. Granny would die if you were gone. Open in the name of the law !'l came a deep voice, just outside the door. Quick, whispered Danny. Go to your room and don 't you dare eome out. Rose obeyed. She was too frightened to do otherwise. Danny squared his shoulders. She's just a kid, he muttered. HI have to do it. Then he opened the door. l 137 I U tl P06168 GORDGB JJ-fait! nf by A Ill '. - icuii 5?i?1'f'5ff t E st Q: , .fu - B' 7' . ri . fa I as n : I lv? 1-LTH CENTTRY ENGLISH CA tribute to our Prineipalj A Duke there was and that a worthy man.

The verdure of meadows in spring- time, The gold of sun and ore, The blue of summer skies, The red of hollyberries, Soft lavender of lilaes, Pale yellow of the rose, And then a flash of eardinal 's wing, Of jade, of heliotrope. All the shades, and hues, and colors That brighten up the earth Are concentrated there, III that little pyramid. And the most wonderful, most marvel- ous part, lt seems to me is this- That all this glory, loveliness, and charm Is really there always, But it takes a bit ot' sunshine To reveal it to our sight. Now don 't you think It 's just as true Ot all that lies around us? There is beauty, truth, and wonder, But we have unseeing eyes.

A-wandering, a-wandering, VVhat place? I know not where- 'Twill satisfy my longing To know that God is there.

With the memlry ot your conquests, of the glory you have won, When long ago you ruled the world, and under your stern sway The whole earth had to kneel to you and all the world was gayg O dreamy land of romance, whose bright canopy of blue Reflects in sea and inland lake, paint- ing them a sapphire hue, IVith small adobe houses white which glimmer in the sun, Vilith narrow, winding, sunny streets, with a legend every one,- IVith your bellas senoritas whose dark sparkling eyes and fan Have been busy making conquests ever since the world began,- A silken scart, a cigaret, a whirl of Spanish lace, A flash of red, a matador, a dark be- witching face- With tamborines and castanets and click ot gilded heel And chivalrous toreadors,-the spirit of old Castile- In the glamour of a glorious past you live, and may you hold The spirit of Don Quixote in your hearts, and not enfold The modern spirit of progress, that always may remain The glamour and chivalry and ro- mance of sunny Spain.

Of course, this does not apply directly to the Senior play. In a sense it was bigger for there were two evening performances instead of the customary one. And better-well our audience didn 't vote. The first business of the play was the appointment of an executive com- mittee. This group was composed of Mr. Goodier, Mr. Kurtz, Tom Steidley, Mary McMinn, Frances Garrison, Eleanor Tenney and Hannah Ochs. This com- mittee selected Miss Ethel Gunn as coach to take the shoes of Mrs. James. They selected Edna Ferber's play 'tMinick. Immediately a try-out was held for this Senior play, whose cast is made up entirely of the wiser element of the school, namely the Seniors. There were over ninety ambitious Seniors who were ready to take part. The cast chosen was as follows: Lil Corey, Emily Davidson, Nettie Minick, Mary McMinn, Annie, Gunberg Farlsong Jim Corey, William Ahlenius, Fred Minick, Raymond Dooley, Old Man Minick, Theodore Colteauxg Marge Diamond, Frances Garrison, Al Diamond, Willis Johnsong Lulu, Thelma Goldman, Mr. Price, Leo Zalucha, Mr. Deitenhoffer, Aaron Rhodes, Mrs. Smallridge, Myra Buescher, Miss Crackenwald, Judith Wetzel, Mrs. Lippincott, Irene Morris, Miss Stack, Ruth Christopher. Telephone voices: Geneve Tyler, Doris McLatlin. The play was more or less centered around Bloomington. Old Man Minick came to Chicago to live with his ultra-modern son and daughter-in-law. He could not adjust himself to the habits or practices of the younger married set and immediately made friends with two old gentlemen from an Old Man 's Home. Not being able to contend with the idea of Father Minick and his friends inter- rupting her club meetings and social affairs, Nettie Minick revolted. H Old Man Minick overheard her remarks that reveal her attitude. Much to the chagrin of Fred and Nettie, 'tOld Man Minick planned to retire to the Old Man's Home. They convinced him that it was absurd and planned a dinner at home and a quiet evening of pinochle, Father Minickls game. When they break this engagement for a more entertaining evening, H Old Man Minick revolts and leaves for the Old Man ts Home. One of the outstanding features of the play was the lovely setting which has been redecorated by Mr. Kurtz with the assistance of the following stage hands: Herman Salch, Henry Smith, Roy Anderson, and the Ahlenii. The following committee aided greatly in making the play a success: BUSINESS MANAGEMENT Mr. Kurtz, Mr. Goddier, Tom Stcidley, Mary Mcllinn, Eleanor Tenney, Hannah Ochs, Frances Garrison PROPERTY COMMITTEE Margrct Louise Payne, Harold Ensinger, Hannah Ochs, Eloisc Peirce, Ruth Ahlenius, Maurine Chapman, Doris McLatlin, Robert Price COSTUMES Helene Griesheim, Louis Probasco, Geneve Tyler TICKETS Ralph YVeber, Paul Rainsberger STAGE URENV Edward Ahlenius, Carl Green, James Riley, Arthur Stone LIGHTS Roy Anderson 149 To our true friends, Mr. Varlton and his vo-workers, Mr. Hayes, Mr. Buatt, Mr. MeXVhator, Mrs. Epple, and Mrs. Nelson, we express our appreciation lfor their many servic-es so gladly given throughout the year. Even when the thermometer has dropped t'ar below the zero mark, out doors, our class-rooms are evenly heated and eomfortable. Then, as summer draws near, and our brows are fevered with vvorry over finals, all possible effort is made to keep us Cool and happy. We doubtless seem a. noisy, careless mob, tracking in the mud of shovvery April, but they never frown. There is a smile ready and yvaiting for any who have one to exchange for it. Let us forget ourselves and our important engagements for a moment- just long enough to offer a pleasant word of greeting to those yvhose task it is to keep our surroundings as we love them-the janitors and janitresses of B.H.S. 150 i f 2 Q Sw fwgcsf .ff-Miz? l , Q A Q 4 A AY l x 5 Xkff l 0 4' ' '55 i g'-f 1E!iiE::::::s 1 7 Q Le ,iffllillfiifh l f 1 W 4 r , x my T 1 jf-'IW' A Y 'E 'Q'ii hl XX V If ' -F4 A Y .

H. S. But like it a little different From the Way it really is, VVe, the humorous department Respectfully, regretfully, resignedly, Do hereby dedicate These Jests and Ads. 167 JI Q JK JE2 S A VVORD TO THE VVISE After hours of continued and strenuous labor, we find that it is a very hard matter indeed to write an introduction, so the only way that we can do it, is just to hop right to it without any lengthy forewords or introductions or prefaccs. Speaking of hopping into it, reminds us of a little verse we learned when we were freshmen, and it goes something like this: When I was a little boy just so high, Mama got a little stick and made me cry. Now I'm a big boy, and Mama can 't do it, Papa gets a big stick and hops right to it. This is all that we have to say for the present and we would merely ask you to wade through the following pages of the highest class of wit and humor, and don 't forget that the jest is the applesauce of life. Dad Pearce: If you were standing on the back of a train and I shot at you, how long would it take for the bullet to hit you if it was going a mile per minute? Edgar Robertson: Quick enough. Uncle: CTelling story of Spanish-American warj Yes, and that night the natives surrounded us and killed hundreds from our camp. Nephew: fEagerlyj Did you get killed too? English teacher: John, is the word tpants' singular or pluraltn John Klopp: 'fVVell, they're singular at the top but plural at the bottom. N .,- X XZ XX f ffffc Paul: I wonder which part of the car it is that causes the most accidents. Penelope: 'fThe nut that holds the steering-wheel, I should think. 168 A THE FIVE FOOT SHELF OF PROVERBS The early bird catches cold. He who makes hay while the sun shines get sunburned. A hair on the head is worth two in the soup. All work and no play makes Johnny an HA. D0n't do today what you can put off until tomorrow. People who live in glass houses should have neighbors with glass eyes. Birds in this weather must be tougher than leather. If at first you don 't succeed, quit trying and go to bed. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, wise bunk. He who laughs last is the dumbest. A jest is the apple sauce of life. A cut a day keeps commencement away. Mr. Schedel: VVhy were the medieval times called the dark ages? Bob Price: There were many knights. Art Stone: May I borrow a pen holder? Miss Holder: Yes, but it isn't polite to call people by their last names A DISOOURAGED CONTRIBUTOR After many terrible hours Through which I've thunk and thunk, I'm writing these few little lines Which you may call the 'fbunkf' With every year that comes around We hear the same old call: Write stories for the Aegis - Which don't get in at all! Once in a while, small jokes we write VVhich may be printed at lastg But even they must have some sense Or far away theylre east. When you try to write a story, Take it from me--youlre brave! For stories which you think are good May make the editors rave. George Clark: I wish I could get ahead for a little while. Eva Stapleton: Goodness knows you need one. 169 77 THE CARD GAME OF LIFE Hearts-in love Diamonds-engaged Clubs-married Spades-dead Miss Cash Cin History Classj : What does United States have that Canada does not have? V Milton S.: Bootleggers. Little Willie: Mother, did the cook tell you I'd been a naughty boy while you were out today? Mother: No. She said that you were a very good boy. Little Willie: Then I won 't tell you that she left the toast burn. A father, in the dead silence of the night, called downstairs to his pretty young daughter. Mabel, what time is it? A pause, a hissing sound as of hurried whispering, and Mabel called back: It's just five minutes after ten, father. 'tAll right, the father said, t'And, Mabel, don't forget to start the clock again after the young man goes out to get his breakfast. A mountaineer school teacher corrected a boy who had said, I ain't gwin tharf' HThat's no way to talk. Listen: I am not going there, thou are not going there, he is not going there 5 we are not going there, you are not going there, they are not going there. Do you get the idea?'l HYessur. They ain't nobody gwinef? Did you put water in this milk? UNO, I just put ice in it to keep it cool. 'tHow kind of you, said the girl, 'Ito bring me these lovely flowers. They are so beautiful and fresh. I believe there is some dew on them yet. Yes, stammered the young man in great embarrassment, but I am going to pay it off tomorrow. 'iWhy, Willie, said his mother, Hhow is it you only got sixty in mathe- matics this month, and last month you got ninety? Willis Brown: 'tIt ainlt my fault 5 the teacher moved the boy in front of me to the first seatf' 170 Old Riley Rippey got to saying tuther day that he was 88 years old and hadn't never seed a moving picture yet, but had just about made up his mind that he'd like to sorter sec how they look. So he rid into town with me last Friday and attended the Oriental Grotto Picture Palace. He set right thru three performances and was starting in on the fourth when the manager of the show asked him if he didn 't think he was acting kinda funny, seeing the same thing over and over. H ' That mought be, and then ag'n it moughtn't' says the old man. 4Such cuttin's-up as have been going on yur may be an old story to you town folks but they hain't to me, and I want to see the outcome of lem. That there lady 's hus- band hain't ketched that there infernal dude fooling around her yet, but I figger that the dude 'll be a little slow the next time and the husband will show up in time to nail him. And if he does I want to be right yur when it happens' 'I A MAN'S A MAN FOR A' THAT Did you hear the one about the man who put the knife in the stove and the apple peelings in his pocket? Now that our Domestic Science department is giving courses in ice cream making, might not one be pardoned for referring to this as a sundae school. Ault: VVhy was that period we are studying called the dark ages? Nelson: They hadn't started coloring the maps yet. Mr. Kirby: Esther, please tell us how to find out the H. P. of an automobile motor. Esther Guthoff : By counting the spark plugs. Miss S.: Use the Scotch term bossy in a sentence, Greenwood. Greenwood: Bossy, the cow, grazed on the Highlands. Thelma Goldman: I think Paul Rainsberger is rather loquacious, don't you? Agnes B.: Yes, and so talkative, too. DID YOU KNOVV THAT: The ham what am-America's most famous dessert-aids digestion? It Hoats? Some girls would walk a mile for a skin you love to touch? That 's the most insidious thing about keeping that schoolgirl complexion? NVhcn it rains it pours?

To those students who are about to enter the busi- ness world or continue their studies in higher institu- tions of learning, the value of cooperation and service to their fellow men is of greatest value. The electrical industry is barely 35 years old . Yet, think of its present day magnitude-its future possi- bilities. On what was it built? Not on necessity. It was built by the untiring efforts of men who devised ways to harness this force for the benefit of mankind. Today, electricity is used in some way in the pro- duction of everything we wear, eat or use. Not only should thought be given to the pioneers of electrical development but also to the companies which produce electricity with its convenience, comfort and economy. Their interests have always been and always will be those of the public. On such service as this is success deserved.

A few years ago the millionaires of this country could be counted on the fingers of one hand-corporations with ten-millions of capital were unknown, and a bank with deposits of a million dollars was financial giant. Today, the business man is the outstanding figure in public life. Inventions are made usable through the skill and genius of the business man. Today, young men and young women less than forty years of age talk and deal in millions. Skyscrapers are projected and built almost over night by young people who yesterday were in school. This is not only the age of business, but the age of youth-and more than this, it is the age of mind. Business is no longer inferior to the learned professions. The business man can achieve more than the doctor, the journalist, the artist, the engineer, or the lawyer. He can enjoy more, and can bring greater enjoyment to those with whom he associates. BROWN'S BUSINESS COLLEGE BLOOMINGTON, ILLINOIS -60th Year- Business is not only willing to share its profitswith you but it is anxious to do so. All business asks is that you have a hand in the making of these profits. Are you business-trained? Assure yourself of one of these choice opportunities of entering business.

Out of five shots, well aimed, only ten redskins had bit the dust. Ah yes, he was growing oldl Only too well did he realize this unavoidable fact. Already his luxurious red whiskers, the pride of his worldly existence, were now streaked with gray. Harkl What was that? He sighted some twenty redskins creeping upon him from ambush and without introduction. Mildly displeased at this interruption of his reverie, he slowly reached for his gun but found it empty of shot. But Big Long Bad Bill Simpson was not so easily turned from his recreation. Seizing his ramrod, he nonchalantly shoved it into his gun and calmly warning the red devils to proceed in single file, transfixed the whole of them to a tree with his trusty ramrod. Hello, Willie, dear, trilled the soft, sweet blithesome voice of our little Nell as she skipped gaily to the scene of activity. Big, Long Bad Alcoholic Bill Simpson slowly looked up through his lowered eye brows, for you must know, he was considerably embarrassed at having his pretty ward, Nell, surprise him at his favorite amusement. 'fWhy, Willie, scolded his lovely ward saucily, casually stabbing a red- skin who had crawled upon them from ambush, I thought you were going to hunt catnip for our pet wildcat ! HVVell yes, Nell, drawled Big Long Slippery Bad Alcoholic Bill Simpson deftly removing the scalp from one of the Indians before him, thus covering his blushing confusion at the Fari Nell's reproach. Just then Big Long Skippery Bad Alcoholic Notorious Bill Simpson glanced down at the valley below and observed one of the numerous opposing Mexican armies in search of diversion after a trying day of pilfering peasants' farm houses in behalf of poor bleeding Mexico. Feeling sorry for them, and being in a playful mood himself, he immediately grasped both cannons from their holsters and turned them loose rampant on the Mexican cause. lVell, he checked the number of dead Mexicans until he tired of this sport, but out of sheer inaction, he continued to give them a startling invitation of leaden hail. Finally, when but ten greasers remained to oppose him, he gave a sigh, and fell over. Thus Big Long Bad Slippery Alcoholic Detestable Notorious Bill Simpson passed away with a toothache. The Mexican captain, being one of the first to retreat, was consequently among the ten living and he approached fair Nell with a beastly leer upon addled countenance. Before he could grasp her, the American army came upon the scene and the dashing chestnut-haired young captain, with livc fairly well aimed shots demol- ished the ten part remnant of the Mexican army. Then he fell off his spirited nag, and, kneeling before the fair Nell, asked, t'Will you marry me?'l Nell waited la moment like the well trained heroine that she was for the author to get a few paragraphs of words painted off his system. Then she made reply, Sure! Why not? The delighted young American was anxious to know why she had so readily accepted him. Did she like the lop of his ears, or the ten-cent marccl of his hair? 'iNet at all, made answer our heroic maiden, Don't you know the story is nearly at an end? That's why we gotta get married and live happily ever after! 197 MUCH APPRECIATED We take this means of thanking the pupils, teachers and members of the school board for the many courtesies extended to us during the past year, which we assure you are highly appreciated.

Sleep was impossible, so I dressed in the coolest garments I could find and made my way through the heat-swept streets to the home of Skylark Homes, who had been confined to his bed for several weeks. I found the front door unlocked usual. I entered and made my way to his room. I found the master sitting in bed, reading. He was dressed most strangely. A heavy fur cap was pulled down over his head. A knitted wool helmet covered his ears, face and neck. I could barely see his shining eyes. Heavy worsted gloves encased his hands, while a monster overcoat was buttoned close to his chin. His bed was covered with blankets. 'My dear Homes, I exclaimed, Hhave you a chill?', Stupid, usual, Watso, Homes laughed. 4'Doubtless you think you can keep cool by wearing thin clothing. Of all the errors you have made in your career, that is one of the greatest. I have surrounded myself with heavy wearing apparel and bed covering merely to ward off the heat. It is impossible, H continued Homes, for one degree of the hot air of this room to touch any part of my body. I felt humiliated, but I knew his verbal chastisement was deserved. f'My dear Watso, a dreadful murder has been committed, 9' Homes informed me. '4And I can tell you the names of the victim and his murderer, where the crime was committed, and further, why the deed was donef' I gasped in amazement. Here was this invalid with an intimate knowledge of the details of a crime that had been perpetrated since he had been confined to his home. I looked at him in awe and admiration. HTell me, my friend, how do you know all this? I t'Blind usual, Dr. Wzitso. If you had followed my instructions given you these many years, you would have observed that I learned about it from the newspaper which I hold in my hands. I lowered my head in shame, and slipped silently from the house.
