Board of Education The members of the Board of Education give unselfishly of their time and energy in the interest of the boys and girls of the community. They assume the responsibility cheerfully, and have at heart the educational welfare of every person of school age in the district. To this end they have provided comfortable school buildings, properly fur- nished, and a corps of adequately trained teachers. Two of the members who have rendered the longest service on the Board, are voluntarily retiring this year. U , 9 Mr. Jesse E. Hoffman, the President, has served as a Board member for twenty- seven years, and as President since 1917. His total service dates from 1902 to 1929. Mr. Horatio G. Bent has served the district as a Board member for thirty-four years within a period of thirty-six years, commencing first in 1893 and extending to 1896, then again from 1898 to 1929. From 1893 to 1895 he acted as Secretary. From September 29, 1899, to April 27, 1917, he was President. Since 1917 he has been Treasurer and Business Manager. It is unusual to find two gentlemen who have rendered such high class service to a school district for so long a time. Their genial manner and faithful service have Won for them the love and respect of all pupils, teachers, and superintendents, and the un- bounded conlidence of the people in this community.

This organization was started in March, 1915, with a membership of seventeen, and has steadily grown until now we have a membership of about one hundred and sixty with an average attendance of nearly one hundred iifty. The regular meetings are held on the third Mon- day of each month in the Girls' Gymnasium at 3:45 P.M. The programs, arranged by Mrs. XV. A. Berquist, are made up of musical numbers furnished largely by our own high school students and of speakers interested in school and social problems. At the September meeting the freshman mothers were given special honor, and Mr. Goodier gave a talk on Problems of Girls and Boys of High School Agef' At the October meeting Miss Howard and Miss Strehlow told in an interesting way of the activities of the Y.W.C.A. and the Girl Reserves. At the December meeting Mr. Goodier talked on ' ' New Plans for the Second Semester. The High School Glee Club, under the direction of Mr. J. E. Black, gave a musical program and gifts from this organization were sent to the Baby Fold at Normal. At the January meeting the teachers were given special honor and Miss Munson of the Foods Department, hliss YVatkins and Miss Moulic of the Clothing Department each gave talks pertaining to the work in their respective departments. On Feb. 18 at 7:30 P.M. in the Girls Gymnasium, we observed ' ' Fathers Night. A musical program was given by Miss Mar- garet Canode, Mr. Quinten Ulrey, and Mr. George A115011 of the WVesleyan School of Music. Rev. Chester Grubb of the First Christian Church spoke on UAI1'101'lCEll1 Pa- triots, contrasting the lives of YVashington and Lincoln. A social hour, supervised by Mrs. Perry LaBounty, hos- pitality ehairman, follows each meeting and refreshments are served by members from the diiferent school dis- tricts. Each month we have sent programs of our meet- ings to the homes by the students. Mrs. Elmer Elfstrand kindly mimeographed these programs for us. Mrs. C. C. Hassler is our able membership chairman. The funds for carrying on our work this year were made by serving the Bloomington High School Alumni Banquet in November. The officers are: President, Mrs. XV. H. Gronemeierg First Vice-President and Finance Chairman, Mrs. Thomas Lewis 5 Second Vice-President and Program Chairmtm, Mrs. VV. A. Berquistg Secretary, Mrs. E. F. Kleinaug Treasurer, Miss Ann Niedermeyer. 13 3 FL-5X,X .1929 sans 2-'fx' 'B..,.,, . mgfiiaxx if ,X ,,,.. 1, HS. 'iimwy' . 44 k . g . ,, f gs .

In both scholastic and athletic en- deavors his ideals were of the highest. Honesty, perseverance, fair play, ambition and modesty were standards which he success- fully upheld. On the athletic field his whole-hearted endeavor was a stimulation to his team- mates. I-lis work and his per- sonality made him a great favor- ite among :the students and an asset to B. H. S. Edward 1 Janick's life will always be a' fond memory in the hearts of his friends and co- workers at B. H. S. IVIAURINE COLE. Maurine Cole came to Bloom- ington High School at the begin- ning of the term last September and remained until the eighth of December. Although she was with us but a few months, she left many friends to mourn her absence. Her high scholarship, her Winsome manners, her active interest in life about her, gave promise of a splendid woman- hood. It is with deep regret that we remember her passing.

The Bloomington High School like other modern high schools offers wonderful oppor- tunities not only for mental and physical development but for social contacts which will enter largely into the activities of the future years. It is the desire of the principal of Bloomington High School that each student may discover his own characteristic talents and make every effort possible to develop a strong personality along the lines of his special interests to the end that each may become a useful servant in the community in which he is to find his work in life. f 'm'NXN .,,.-NN If 'Q-S---- ....A, 1 4 1... 4 Q N. -M igif, ...,4 xxx?

I J The Junior Class Some wise adage has been expounded to the effect that the third time is the charm. Perhaps it doesn't work out that way for everybody but we Juniors believe it, for it was the third time after two vain attempts that we finally organized our class. The ofhcers for the year were elected with these results: President, Ronald Lemmeg Vice President, Roberta Schloeffelg Scretary-Treasurer, Alice lVlcCarty. E The Junior Play, The Princess Drops ln, was a decided success. The Junior Class sponsored a Goodwill Dance after the B. H. S.-Trinity game. This event helped to make for friendlier feeling toward our ancient rivals. Already Junior members have distinguished themselves in many fields, but just wait until we're Seniors. ALICE J.

Art League This club, organized for a deeper appreciation of the beautiful, has from year to year, steadily increased in its membership. Under the supervision of Miss M. Maude Smith we have had a most enjoyable season. In the fall the League motored to Camp Lantz for a Friday afternoon picnic. In December, a Christmas party was held, with a program, and a. real live Santa Claus with his pack of gifts. 'We conducted two candy sales which were loyally patronized by the students. The League purchased curtains for the art room, these were used as a back- ground for the group pictures for the Aegis. The Art League sponsored a lecture by Dr. Henry Turner Bailey, in the assembly on February 1. We are proud of this accomplishment and consider it the mountain peak of attain- ment for this year. VVe have visited the Public Library and Miss Smith has talked to us about the pictures on exhibition in the Russell Art room. On March 3 the League had charge of a Studio Tea for the Bloomington Art Association, during the exhibit of Francis Keffer at which time Miss Smith gave a gallery talk. The annual Studio Tea and art exhibit held in May closed the activities of the year. President . . . . ...... . . ' .... EVERET SAUNDERS Vice-President . . . ...... ....

At our first Recognition Service, the portholes were opened by the erewmen who steered us through our weeks of fun. VVhen we reached the North Pole on a bob-sled party our crew was refreshed with new forces, when erewmen Leyh, etc., took up the oars. Captain Leyh and her crew believing that the groups could accomplish more if each one had specific duties, guided us, with the help of Wesleyan and Normal, in our eiorts to learn literary improvement, trail blazing, etc. The club meets as a unit, on VVednesdays at the 'Y.VV.C.A. once a month, and in divisions Qhandicraft, Nature, Dramatiesj the other meetings.

Short Story Club The accomplishments of the Short Story Club for the year of l928-29 have been many and varied. Among the most outstanding achievements were the writing of several poems, a patriotic play, by Walter Inman, and Pantagraph contest stories won by Verneil Partlow, Edward Postlethwait, Maxine Aldridge, and Robert Knapp. On the evening of October 5 the club was most graciously entertained at the home of Mrs. L. B. Merwin, the patroness of the club since its founding in l9l 7. The initia- tion for the second semester took place at the Y. W. C. A., when twelve new members were taken in, making our enrollment twenty-four. After the regular ritual, a comedy, The Wedding Present, with a cast of three characters, was presented by Alice Kuhn, Edward Postlethwait, and Homer Shaw. We enjoyed an informal talk on writing for publication from Miss Gladys Ehlers, Assistant Editor of the H. S. Pantagraph. Mr. Louis Untermeyer, writer and critic, gave a very interesting program on Feb- ruary I9 at Normal University. Mr. Linkins, Dean of Men, of I. S. N. U., generously invited our club as guests for the evening. The meetings which were held twice a month, have been spent studying the tech- nique of S. S. writing, in criticising informally the work of the members, in reading stories of contemporary authors and in sponsoring the literary department of the Aegis. We have used Appleton's Recent Short Stories as a guide. And so the club has once more gone thru a successful year and we owe much of this success to the patience and ever present help of our adviser.

Hi-Y Club The purpose of the Hi-Y Club is to create, maintain, and extend throughout school and community, high standards of Christian character. It is not a club in name only, but an organization that does things. Its platform is composed of four planks: Clean Speech, Clean Athletics, Clean Scholarship, and Clean Living. The Club meets every Thursday evening at the Y. M. C. A. The meetings con- sist of either a talk by an outside speaker, or a discussion led by a member. The l-li-Y took a prominent part in the State Older Boy's Conference last November, and also gave the annual Freshman Stag Party. First Semester OFFICERS Second Semester HERBERT PRICE. . . . .....

The tree hunt and all day picnic there, was so successful that another is planned for this year. The first semester of this school year started out with a big bang made by a rushing party given in the form of a treasure hunt and wiener roast at Maplewood. Later the seven neophytes entertained the club with a breakfast hike at Funks Grove, in the wee sma' hours of the morning. Near the holidays we gave a Christmas Party with Mr. and Mrs. Condon and A 5, Mr. and Mrs. Black as chaperones and so with all our interest meetings and spring outings we've had quite the peppiest club in school. To our very able adviser, Mr. Condon, the officers, and members we can attribute all our success as the most interesting and most active club in all B. l-l. S.

In November a large number of the members participated in a pageant enacting the story of thanksgivings all over the I world.

The Latin Club I The last twelve years have been eventful ones in the history of Bloomington High I School. In these years some of the leading men and women of Bloomington have been graduated from our high school and many future citizens of prominence are now enrolled Every year has seen the Latin Club playing its, perhaps small, yet important part ' in school affairs. -I Latin is one of the most valuable subjects offered ' not only because of the mental training that it offers rx but also because it shows how impossible our present day civilization would be were it not for that earlier civilization of our Roman ancestors. Those things concerning the Romans which it is not possible to obtain in the classroom, the Latin Club is ever endeavoring to present in a manner that may more greatly beneht its members.

Athletics Bloomington Higlfs new athletic field which was purchased in November, l925, is nearing completion. Over six thousand dollars is being expended this year for the better- ment of this field, which will some day be one of the finest in Central Illinois. When the first call was issued for football the outlook was not so brightg the back- bone of the team was lost by graduation the previous year, the candidates were smaller than usual, and they were handicapped by not having a suitable place to practice. How- ever, the 1928 football season was the most successful in two decades. Too much credit for this success cannot be given to Coaches Harrison and Saar. From the standpoint of games won and lost our basketball season was a success, and the men who came out, profited by the experience and sportsmanship shown during the season. Although graduation took two men in the middle of the year and will take several more this June, much is expected of those who remain to carry Bloomington's colors next year. Track candidates for the season l928 were numerous, although among them were very few veterans. Though our team was not outstanding, opponents always realized that we were in the running. Although the bulk of last year's baseball team was lost, Coach Saar developed a team that was respected by all its opponents. They finished third in the inter city. 94 .1-9?9 i I Q fy :3GAw c Foot Ball MCLEAN-Our first game was with lVlcl..ean and it proved little more than a prac- tice scrimmage for us. We won 45 to 0. LEROY-Bloomington High really opened its season against Empire Township at Leroy. We had to display better football to overcome our traditional rivals. They pre- sented a rugged defense, but our offense was equally determined. We scored two touch- downs to defeat them I3 to 0. CLINTON-Bloomington's brilliant offense swept the heavier Clinton team off its feet, and with hard driving football, administered to them a 26 to O defeat. The team functioned perfectly and after this game high hopes for a successful season were entertained. PEORIA-Peoria's heavier team handed us our first and only defeat of the season, but not without stubborn resistance. The score was I9 to 0. OTTAWA-A large crowd turned out to see us defeat Ottawa in our annual home- coming game. Displaying a complete reversal of form, our forward wall outcharged the opponents at every stage of the game, and our backfield was quick to take advantage of the opportunities. The game was played in a quagmire which prevented sensational dashes, but by persistent plugging we scored twice and made our homecoming a success. B. H. S., 145 Ottawa, 0. UNIVERSITY HIGH-This game was played in a sea of mud and turned out to be the worst performance of the whole year. Though we outplayed U. I-l. our only margin of victory was a fumble which we converted into a touchdown. The final score was 6 to 0. TRINITY--Shades of the four horsemen swept across Wilder Field in our annual gridiron encounter with the Irish. Our backs ran rough shod over the Trinity defense, and forwards tore their line into shreds. B. H. S. counted twice via the touchdown route in the first six minutes of play, a lead whichgwe' were never to surrender. A long pass netted Trinity a touchdown the third quarter bit we retaliated in the fourth and the game ended I8 to 6. NORMAL-By defeating our old rivals from Normal by a score of I9 to I3 Bloomington ended its most successful football season in two decades and settled all claims to the inter-city championship. Our backs gained almost at will through the enormous holes our line opened up. However, Normal scored two touchdowns by a passing attack which they resorted to when they found they could not gain through our line. The game was marked by spectacular plays and was one of the best in the year for spectators and players alike. 95 Q56fi'5 G i A1-:cis 'fflffirwqinre' I VVILBUR BODMAN qflaptainp, Fullback UWib was one of the chief reasons for our splendid showing on the gridiron this year. On the offense he was always good for a short gain through the line or a long gain off tackle. On the defense, there was not a more dependable or harder tackler on the team. He will be missed in B. H. S. athletics. RONALD LEMME Qilaptainj, Halfback Ron' ' was our great halfbaek whose long runs were re- sponsible for many wins this year. He is one of the best ball carriers B. H. S. has developed in a long time. Unfortunately this is his last year. W1LBU1z AUGSPURGER qCaptain electj, End -7 HWebb was one of the most spirited ends we saw this year. Ho was in every play and never quit until the whistle blew. ' f VVebb' ' and McMackin Were, without doubt, two of the best ends in Central Illinois. i F 96 QaXkfQe u T' w4JHGN HARRY ROBINSON, Quarterback Harry is small but plucky. At quarterback he played a good hard game, running the team well at all stages. Al- though handicapped by his size he played a strong game, and we regret that we lose him by graduation. HAROLD PROTHERO, Halfback Moony was the heaviest man in the backfield and the hardest hitting man on the squad. His offensive work was not excelled by another member of the team, and he developed a treacherous straight arm that vanquished many a would-be tackler. 'HMoony is lost to us by graduation. Mac JoNEs, Quarterback Mac though not participating in every game deserves much credit for staying with the team. Near the end of the season, he became one of the important cogs in our offense. This was Mac's last year for football at B. H. S. F - y Asc 1 s dkivflx' ROBERT V'AN SCHOIK, Center Bob was our first choice for the pivot position and a Very consistent player. He Was- a hard man for his opposition to handle. Bob graduates this June and We are sorry to lose him. ARTHUR RETTKR, Guard Art was a good all around player, and though this was his Hrst year on the team, he filled his position like a veteran. Art will be on the team next year. Lf WARREN ARMSTRONG, Tackle Farmer filled a big hole in the line and made up in action what he lacked in words. He improved as the season went on, and we expect him to be one of Bloomington 's greatest tackles next year. bw, 1929 AECQVIIS A HAROLD STAMBACH, Tackle A Slummy held his own quite successfully at tackle this year. Everybody knew when Stambach was in the game. He has another year. DALE MCMACKIN, End. Mac could be depended upon at all times. He was a mountain of strength to the defense and oiense, being in every play. Because he is a senior this is his last season. DELMAR MOORE Guard I Del, was a good scrapper and proved it every time he stepped on the field. He was a valuable man for any team to have. Delf' is another senior who has played his last for B. H. S. 1929 1. U .,?'f5 WAEQ W ALONZO DOLAN HLon is an all around player as was shown by his play- ing at almost every position on the team at one time or another. He made a real utility man.

Some critics might not call our basketball season an overwhelming success, but here IS our record and some of the obstacles we overcame. Several of Saar's men, who were expected to be 011 Harrison 's squad, became ineligible or dropped out of school. We lost two of our best men in January by the eight semester rule. We played some of the most highly ranked teams in the state including Peoria Central, Streator, University High, Kankakee, and LaSalle-Peru. We gave Peoria a good iightg Streator defeated us by three points 5, in two games we broke even With U. High, Kankakee and LaSalle-Peru were decisively beaten. VVe Won more than half of our regularly scheduled games. No small wonder that B. H. S. is proud of the boys whose pictures follow! 102 s G, VVILBUR :XUGSPURGER Webb was a guard to worry any forward and his ball handling and defensive work were outstanding. Great things are expected of him next year. WILBUR BODMAN Wib was a thorn in the side of many a team by his clever dribbling and his ability to drive in for under the basket shots. He showed his all around ability by finishing the season as a guard. He graduates in June. LLOYD CRUSIUS Lloyd was a real utility man and could fill in at either forward or center. He could be counted on to strengthen the offense and the defense when needed. This was his last year.

J. :HALLETT ' ' Jay is a product of the All Americans and a credit to Coach Saar's teachings. Jay showed his abilities at for- ward. He will be back next season. DELMAR MOORE Del7' came to the front in the second semester and showed marked ability as back guard. He was always de- pendable and gave his best every minute he was in the game. This is his second and last basketball season. E Q sf:fJsTi'5.5?c sp DALE MCMACKIN Dale developed i11to one of the best guards in this part of the state and we were sorry to lose him in J anuary. Even the best forwards got very few good shots while Dale was in the game. HERMAN EWERT Herman was another man lost to us by the eight semester rule. Herman was dangerous on the offense and he got the tip oi his share of the time. His loss was keenly felt.

FRANK HOOPES, Manager A RELAY RACE A 116 CQi eaws,wta P lIntraeMural Basket Ball This year Mr. Hastings developed a new system of intra-mural basketball. Six club teams-Modern Alchemist, Commercial, Manual Arts, Art League, I-li Y, and Debating: and six teams composed of non-members-Wild Cats, Bull Dogs, Alley Rats, Tigers, Boomerangs, and Lucky Ten competed in a straight elimination tournament. The Debat- ing Society, the Modern Alchemists, the Lucky Ten, and the Commercial Club seemed to be the outstanding teams, but the Modern Alchemists eked out a one point victory over the Commercial Club for the championship. This system enables any boy in school who wants to play basketball to be on one of the teams and all who took advantage of the opportunity profited by the experience.

Early days in September when upper- classmen are met with the bewildered, yet admiring glances of the new-comersg days when the halls are filled with boys and girls on whose faces amazement stands out with pre- dominance. The Freshman's hardest days are those of the first recitation, the time of the first recitation in a strange place, before new classmates and a new teacher. But this period of development passes after a short while, and leaves only the unsophisticated Freshie. How great the joy of the last year's Freshman when the name of Sophomore has been gained. And almost before it is realized, the title of Junior is donned. But ah! The delight when the realm of Senior has been reached! You can tell a Senior by his cap and gown, You can tell a Junior by the way he gads around, You can tell a Sophomore by his humor, wit, and such, You can tell a Freshie, but you can not tell him muchlu JUST BEFORE THE BELL Have you ever stood in the halls of dear old B.H.S. and observed the various methods of passing away the time before the bells at morning and noon? If not, try itg it is fun. There are those who walk hurriedly through the crowd with an arm full of books. They would have you know that they are persons of affairs and have no time to waste in loitering about the halls. Then comes the row of girls, strolling arm in arm, eight abreast, laughing and tittering and talking of everything from the last basketball game to what they got in the latest Latin test. They are in no hurry, have nothing to do and don't care who knows it. Next appears the freshie who has been in this new land of wonders only a few weeks, and expects the bell to ring any minute and declare him late for class. And, oh! he dares not ponder on his fate if such should happen. Now we stroll over to the bulletin board and watch the proceedings there. Some of the class pictures for the Aegis have just been posted and everyone is eager to discover whether or not his picture is among the chosen ones. We see two girls on the outer edge of the crowd, strain- ing their necks trying to find their pictures. Finally they get in closer and one of them exclaims, Oh, goody, there's mef' but the other sulks in disappointment and is forced to content herself with looking at the likenesses of her friends. Then comes casually strolling up the hall, the tall dignified senior boy who is so bored with all this nonsense but would like to see if any of his numerous club pictures are in evidence. He eventually succeeds in gaining a point of vantage and critically looks over the pictures as though his censorship is absolutely essential, and intermittently uttering to himself that this new crop of freshies is worse than ever. RICHARD POSTLETHWAIT '32 I-IEELPLATES I hardly know of anything more popular with the younger generation than heelplates. It seems as if everyone, boy or girl, must have these on his shoes. Everyone seems to delight in arousing the teacher's sense of duty and forcing her to make him walk on his toes to keep the ceiling in a preserved condition. Qiwsz 1 Q39 taxis, fmw911a The popular shoemakers of the town never see an evening when there are no calls for these great nuisances to the teachers. Every evening after school two or three of the youthful populace of the town will call at the shoe hospital and ask for these great calamities to the study hall or class room. Several years ago, when some country hic would walk down the street in a pair of large boots equipped with plates or leather heels, he was thought nearly barbaric by the more refined inhabitants of the town. But now! If a person makes any noise at all, the more the better. It is not only the men who use them. A few years ago if a woman made a lot of noise when she walked or heard anyone else, she was embarrassed. But now if she can not be heard at least a mile away, she is disappointed and goes back after another pair of heels or plates. Probably some of those old timers like Queen Lizzie, Frankie Drake, ' Walt Raleigh, or some other of tlixse most elegantly refined people would rise in their graves if they could see the so called refined girls and boys of today. CHARLES HARDWAY, Freshman. WHEN MARIE CAME HOME When Marie, my sister, came home from boarding school, she was simply awful. Such airs and such manners! You would think her a princess instead of a poor working man's daughter. Me, her kid sister, was only a nuisance, a perfect pest! New dresses ordered, hair marceled! In my heart I was horribly jealous, for people called her pretty. I did not! You'd also think our porch was a camping post for all those empty headed dumb- bells for blocks. Then sis would come out and grin and smirk till I almost screamed. To start conversation they would ask her about how her little sister was, and she would be very profuse in her admiration. lVlama! she's talkin' 'bout me again, mean ol' sis! Said I was the 'sweetest thing'g make her stop!,' I would cry as my adoring sister was particularly obstreperous. I was a worm, a disgusting worm beneath her feet. Well, worms had tumed and why couldn't I? Oh! I'd show her. That evening at dusk I would get my revenge. I armed myself with a bean shooter and a cupful of small pebbles. Placing myself in a strategic position at the end of the porch I waited till sister's rare collection started to appear. At last sister came out with sandwiches and lemonade. I placed a stone in my bean shooter and the fun commenced. The pebble hit a chinless wretch square on one of his elephantine ears. Groans issued. Another fell in a lemonade glass and happily choked a robust youth who gulped too quickly. . Gr-uh-uh. sputtered the abused one. Boys hastily excused themselves and rushed home to salve sore places. I was elated. I had disconcerted my sister and sent home her beaux. I crept around the back and entered the house. You little devil! cried a voice, as my sister, grasping my wrist, seized the bean shooter and called mother. ' The terrible atrocity of my crime was made clear. I was put in solitary confinement for a week. My sister apologized to the mutts, but I was happy. Such are the Wages of a bean shooter! MARION HANSON '32. HATS AND MORE HATS Red hats, yellow hats, green ones, and blue ones. The prevailing spring colors of fashion have permeated even to the boys' wearing apparel. Although the general opinion 121 1Q29. g FXBQJUPU on this matter seems to be that these hats are hideous looking it is, after all, only a question of becoming accustomed to them. There is no reason whatsoever why boys should not adopt these becoming shades to their own articles of dress as well as the members of the weaker sex. These young men are not becoming effeminate in the least. They are merely showing the girls that in some things they can beat them at their own game. For instance, one of these so-called campus crushersn can be purchased at a local haberdashery for the minute sum of one dollar. By bunching one of these up in the crown, putting in a few pins to hold the creases in place and deftly placing it on the back of her head, any girl could manufacture her Easter bonnet from her brother's hat Che could never recognize it when it was finishedj. Think of the dollars saved for father through this process. There would be more to spend not only for daughter's Easter dress but also for brother's spring suit. Perhaps he ain't so dumb after all. ROY LANCASTER '3Z. MUMPS My honored and respected friend lVIr. Daniel Webster in his most explanatory man- ner defmes mumps, as being an infectious disorder marked by inflammation of the parotid glands. I define them as being a horrid nuisance and very, very, unbecoming to one's facial expression. When I was honored or blessed with the mumps I looked very much as Humpty Dumpty must have after his fall. I thought it was going to take more than all the hot water bottles and salve this side of the River Styx to bring my face down to its usual dimensions. I always considered Mr. Webster a reliable authority on the meaning of most words but never will I agree with him on the word mumps. LORENE PINDELL. THE IDEAL LIFE A tramp's life is the ideal life. The worries of a tramp, unless he is an outlaw or has committed some misdemeanor other than stealing pies from window sills, are not moral ones but only slight physical discomforts. A tramp is smarter than most people. If he has to shave, does he buy a razor? No, he uses a broken bottle. When he craves corn on the cob, does he go to a restaurant or hotel? No, he goes to a cornfield and gets it in a much fresher state. If he wants to see America and become intellectual, does he pay railroad fare? No, he hops the westbound freight. Does he mind when he is pitched out on the cinders? No, he is only slightly upset. Another freight will be along soon and time means nothing to him. Following the warm seasons like the birds, he works some- times, but only when hunger drives him to it. Having nothing, he possesses everything. I-Ie is lord of all that he surveys-until a policeman tells him to move on. PHIL HoRToN '32. CALL OF THE RAILROAD TRACKS As I sit in a railroad, station thinking about that dreaded essay, I look out of the window, down the tracks. I wonder how it would be to travel to the end of those tracks, to travel around the world. Oh, to see those sights and mysteries I've dreamed about! To see the Alps and climb the Matterhorn! I wonder how the Taj Mahal would look in the moonlight. To wander about in the Shalimar-oh, what would be my joy! Then Io Peking and on to Japan and to climb the Fujiyama. That would be life! Then best of all, back to dear old U. S. A., to dream of more unseen lands, as one looks down those calling railroad tracks. RUTH ARMSTRONG '32. efa3fJ31929,Q-35.39 g Q Qhgyxsc 1 siiigfiafxf BEFORE SCHOOL Many incidents happen before school in the morning. The halls are filled with boys and girls of every description. Some are rushing about and others are walking slowly down the hall. Now and then a poor hungry dog is seen roaming around seeking the attention of some student. A person's books are knocked out of his hands and papers Hy everywhere amid the laughter of those nearby. As time passes the halls become deserted except for a few who are hurrying to their rooms or lockers. The bell clangs loudly in the corridors like the bugle call before the battle. Everything is silent. Another day has begun at B. I'I. S. MARK BRENNAN '3Z. AEI .E I CONGLOMERATION i I-Iave you ever noticed, when walking down the halls of B. I-I. S., what a con glomeration the student body is? When we say that America is a melting pot, we are naming it rightly. In the halls of our High School we find all sorts of people: tall people, short people, thin people, fat peopleg serious people, merry people, blonds, brunettesg people of many different nationalities and personalities, people of different likes and dislikes, and many happy mediums. All put together, mixed well and seasoned with the influence of many teachers and leaders, and we have future citizens of America. standing as one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. MARY MCDORMAN '32. A SAD EXPERIENCE I happened to be the unhappy possessor of a very bad sore throat, that I would have willingly passed on to any one else. One night, as I was getting ready for bed, the fuse plug for that room insisted on burning out. I was all ready for bed but taking my medicine which happened to be Vick's Vapo Rub. I groped my way over to the medicine cabinet, opened the door, and took out what felt to be the Vick's Vapo Rub. In reality it was a can of paste, that my sister had left there. I greased my chest thoroughly, put some up my nose, and put a generous piece in my mouth. Such a spluttering and coughing was never heard and will never be heard again. The downstairs was on a different fuse plug, so,I rushed down, where I washed the dry paste off of my chest. Then I remembered that I had some in my nose. I finally got all the dry paste out, leaving my nose very tender. Never have I had another such an experience. Never again will I take a dose of medicine in the dark. IVIARIAN BUGBEE '3Z. 123 153 Qbwfes Ascrs 'bagzsmao Chapter H SOPHOMORE SISTERS At times the fortunate or should I say unfortunate ones who have a sister are not so pleased with her. Who, but a sister would keep one waiting for hours? Then, when she finally arrives she will invariably exclaim I just couldn't get here any sooner, but you didn't mind waiting, did you? You probably will answer Not much, I waited only two hours, for it is useless to explain to her that since you have not yet dined you feel rather hungry. The situation is even worse if after waiting it eventually dawns on you that she has forgotten all about her younger sis. You will rush home only to find her comfortably seated before the radio. You,re a nice one, I'll never, never wait for you again, in an angry voice, you scolcl. She coldly replies, Oh, I won't mind if you don't. I never asked you to wait. Aw, you don't appreciate anything I do, anyway, you grumble while giving vent to your anger by slamming the door of your room. Sisters are like a stunmer shower, a rainbow follows the rain and sisters with all their faults are often helpful. Perhaps some evening when you wish to go to the movies your beloved enemy will condescend to help you with Geometry, or if there is a candy sale at school she might even be generous enough to buy you a bar. When the feminine accessories, such as kerchiefs, so called beauty preparations and hosiery diminish in quantity, it is quite convenient to have a sister, unless she happens to be in a contrary mood. Then in answer to your timid inquiry May I wear your scarf? she replies in a disgusted voice, Oh, I suppose you may. No, thank you, I don't want to. Seeing that you are rather offended by her manner she will hasten to assure you that she doesn't mind. More often she will allow you to borrow from her without any comment other than Be sure you don't tear or spot it. But with all her faults I sigh to think what I would do without a sister. Sisters are sort of queer, ' I know you'll all agree. Sometimes though, they are quite dear, That's how it seems to me. Each has some virtues, it is true, Rare as they may be. MILDRED GLASS '31, A SOPHOMORES REVERIE. Whoopie! l'm an elderly, dignified Sophomore now, and how! Who in the world is that chump over there with his nose in the air? What's he got to be stuck up about- he isn't even a soph. I-Ie looks like a pesky freshie or senior to me. I wonder if I could sell this green-looking guy an elevator pass. Ilve had the worst luck so far. I've sold only four. Imagine it! When I was a Fresh I'd purchased eight before I saw the inside of this place. Oh well-why grumble about a little thing like that? I may have better luck next year. I guess I'l1 amble over and watch the children wash their faces in front of 203. That drinking-fountain is some fun-when somebody else gets all wet. 1229 an i AEGIS Who said, Hello 'Slopmore' U? Gee, how I hate that guy. I'Il have to tend to him one of these days. I wonder what we'll do tonight?-Ring doorbells and see people I suppose. I wish we could think up something different. Drat this pencil-sharpener. I'll die from shock if it ever sharpens my pencil right. Where in the deuce is my knife? At home, of course, since I want it. Ugh! Why don't that road-hog watch where he's going. I feel so breathless after such encounters, especially when he weighs only two-hundred pounds or so. ' Curses! Somebody just dumped my books again. Clf I weren't so grown-up, I'd jump his frame. But I've got to remember l'm a l0A Soph and show these freshies, juniors, and seniors how to act.J O, well!

Is it a suburb of B. I-I. 5.15 Is it the dining room of B.H.S.? Is it the living room or the business office of B. I-I. S.? Is it the Stock Exchange of the Student body?

WE WONDER? ORGAN MUSIC How various are the moods of an organ! It is capable of rejoicing with us in triumphs, comforting us in sorrow, and inspiring us to diligent labor. Every Sunday morning when the members begin to assemble in numerous churches throughout the world, its influence is felt by all men. In these congregations many different types of people are representedg yet each finds in the music of the organ a sympathetic response to his emotions. It encourages the eager father, soothes the troubled mother, and consoles the aged. Even the children are im- pressed by its solemnity. Because of its numerous stops the organ can cleverly imitate all the harmonies of Nature. The rumbling thunder is simulated by the deep sonorous blasts of the tuba and bassoon, the wailing of the winds in the deserts by the cries of the oboe and clarinet, the trickling of the streams by the flute and piccolo. Even the rustling of the autumn leaves is echoed by the delicate strains of the violin. One moment it is as tumultuous as the angry waves of the sea, at another as tranquil as an evening breeze. The organ has for so long been a part of the Sunday morning services that it has taken a place in our hearts, and thereby has made itself indispensable to us. VIOLA LOESEKE '31 . CROWDING What a famous American custom! Crowding! How useful and sensible it is! If one is in a hurry or somewhat impatient what is the best way to move proceedings along a little faster? Why, just crowd those who happen to be hindering you! Very 125 eAf:Qsf15'29zes.ef.ss fs AEGIS, tAM3f23Q.9vQ simple! Nothing to it! Why should you, of all people, be delayed? No reason what- soever. If people around you don't seem to realize that you are in a hurry, give their minds a jolt by a gentle push. One of the public places where this ancient and honored custom is highly respected is school. Imagine yourself in a classroom when the bell of dismissal is sounded. A scrambling, hurrying, eager mob, suddenly released from a period of quiet and restraint, pours out of every possible place. All have the same purpose in mind, to get wherever they are going in the least amount of time. No one minds being pushed or crowded when he is doing the same thing himself. Finally, after a time of being moved along with the crowd you arrive at the row of lockers to which yours belongs. When you have gone through a series of squirms, twists, slight pushes, and a continual muttering of excuse me, please, you reach your locker and then begin a struggle with boots. Just as you are perfectly balanced to put one on, some kind person comes along and says, I beg your pardon , second, he gives you a shove: third, steps on you and walks all over you, and last proceeds to do the same to all the rest until he is at last out of the tight place. Behind him he leaves a trail of broken bones, scratched and bruised objects somewhat resembling human beings, and if you listen closely you will hear a concert of groans and doubtful grumblings. There is no argument that this is not the best method of procedure. What are a few lives lost, bruises, broken limbs compared to the amount of time saved by this great movement, crowding ? In later years this advancing movement will become greater than the great Western Movementi' of long ago. VIRGINIA CI-naw '3I. LEAVES Leaves are queer objects, all different sizes and shapes! In a great many ways, their lives remind me of the lives of people. At first, they are little, green buds, cuddled as close to Mother Twig as they can possibly get. They change, howevergin the time of a few weeks and become little green, soft children, blossoming out into the world to meet Happiness, who lives in the Fountain of Youth. They are no longer bashful and back- ward but forward, playing all day long with their greatest friend, Mr. Wind, or if he is absent, they dance and laugh with Mr. Wind's children, the Breezes. Some leaves grow up to be short and fat, others tall and slender. As months pass on, the Leaves grow older, their faces are wrinkled and faded and their skin and bones are hard and brittle. Now, whenever the Breezes come to play, they seem rough and ungentle. Everyday several leaves are untied from their lVlother's apron strings and Hoat down to their Aunt, Mrs. Grass, who always keeps open house for everyone. When the Wind and Breezes realize they have been too rough with the Leaves, they call for Rev. Snow, who buries them under a pure white blanket with their ancestors. He also comforts the wailings of the Wind family by telling them that there will soon be another generation of-Leaves. RUTH HART '3l. I SHOES . Old shoes, new shoes, everybody wear shoes, Tan shoes, black shoes, wom but in the zoos, People used to go barefooted, now they go well booted, Shoes, shoes, shoes. How I love to see a big, fat woman waddling down the street on high heels. Usually the heels are so run over that the foot of the woman invariably rests on the ground. 5i:'Qf.1ss Gi2:Qmgg1sQz2EfN2aexma She may slip and slide, fall, and even barely escape being killed, but she will not give up her high heels. She enjoys them almost as much as she does her gift of gabf' Then there is the small woman who goes skidding down the sidewalk. l-ler steps are so very, very dainty and tiny that I am sure it would take her fully fifteen minutes to walk a block. She may wear yellow, green, red, black, white, purple, or orange slippers, just as she chooses. She will invariably cramp her foot into shoes which are at least a size too small in order that she may obtain the color she wants. ln fact she is what we some- times call a high stepper. We also have the flaming college youth with his cleats. He is often thought of as a brawny athlete who goes clattering about the campus. That is entirely the wrong idea because the only reason he wears cleats is for his own amusement, not that of others. It is often said that every step's a telltale. This one singing l'm happy, that one sighing 'Tm low. Putting two and two together it is very easy to say andthink Uwhata whale of af difference a couplerof shoes make. f f I have often wondered just how many of us really realize the complete value of shoes. It is not only their face value but the sole value which only a few people see. They are our own friends and as friends they are steadfast and trueg as defenders they are staunch and strong: as companions they are always faithful, even unto the last. HARRIET E. SHAW '3I. EXCUSE.-MAKERS Always making excuses -that's what they shout at us. Yet why shouldn't we? lt's twice as easy to invent a good excuse for neglected work as it is to solve the long, hard lesson. And if they should ask us why every day we have a very good excuse but a very poor lesson we would remind them that it is their own fault that we have to have such unshatterable proofs of our good intentions. If our beloved teachers would refrain from presenting us such toilsome and difficult lessons, we wouldn't be obliged to spend our precious time devising new alibis. ' Then, too, excuses develop the mind. We use no books, no pencils, no paper but the results are sometimes wonderful. Some teachers say that just lazy, good-for-nothing people use excuses. They are all wrong here. A lazy person could never make a good excuse. It takes brains and hard work. The real reason, however, that we alibi-inventors use this time-honored custom is to prepare our inexperienced teachers for the varied excuses of the coming generations of falsehood-tellers that are to be the future students of our good old B. l-l. S. No other course is open for us. The present teachers can't be taught any other way and we, disregarding our personal interests, have taken upon ourselves the mighty task of preparing the masters of our fates for the coming battle of wits with the future generations. ALVIN LUEBBERS '31, 127 1929 Chapter HT. JUNIOR TROPIC NIGHT The fiery sun hangs like a ball of molten metal just above the hills that tower around the secluded valley. All is quiet in the streets and walled yards, for both man and beast have taken refuge from the quivering heat of the day. The silvery bells high upon the tower of the cathedral in another part of the city nearer the sea chime the vesper hour. just at this moment the sun sinks beneath the hills, for they are so high that at five it has disappeared from view although it is midsummer. Soon an indistinct murmur is heard and in a short time the street teems with people: some returning from work, some out to purchase a few necessities and some to get a little fresh air. Presently a cool breeze comes floating off the hills and it is indeed a delight, bring- ing with it the fragrance of multitudes of tropical Howers that when evening comes send forth their exotic perfume. The surrounding hillsides that even during the heat of the day invited the weary traveller have now become doubly enchanting with their almost solid walls rippled here and there by breezes from land and sea. The evening is permeated with an almost unearthly silence, for all life itself is tranquilized in a tribute to nature's luxuriant beauty. The stillness is broken only by the occasional low conversation that comes from the verandas or perhaps from the scat- tered groups that wander up and down the street. Dusk soon begins to fall and in an incredibly short time things become indistinct for twilight is notably short in the tropics. In the semi-twilight the evening star blazes like a diamond from the warm blue sky, and, as dusk falls, more and more come out until the canopy overhead is completely studded with them. A feeling of awe comes over one who gazes out into an immeasurable space of twinkling stars, a revelation of the insignificance of man. As darkness increases the hills stand out in a more accented profile while other objects become blurred until finally the hills themselves are only an indistinct line. A gentle, scented wind whispers off the hills again and rustles softly in the majestic palm trees that grow here and there. A soft glow is beginning to spread over all and in a short time the full moon hangs above the hills, transforming the world into a fairy paradise. The glow glistens and sparkles on the myriads of minute dewdrops that form on every leaf and stem as soon as the sun sets, transforming them into beautiful crystals. The light shifts and shimmers on the dark polished green of the stately palms and falls like burnished steel spears of unseen horsemen of the night, upon the dripping grass below, while the dense growth on the surrounding hills is softened by its silvery sheen effect while the highest peaks that are bare rock become less jagged and steep. Softly the ucigarrasn begin to uciciarf' Swiftly the hours slip by and only a few lovers of nature are yet awake to enjoy the enchanting beauty and lure of the tropic night, but soon weariness forces them to seek their beds and the moon is left to watch alone. Swiftly the hours slip by, the moon sets in the west and presently the sun rises and all life again begins to stir. Joi-:N MELBY '30. ATTACKS OF THE COMMA . Ever since our class came to a certain paragraph in our rhetoric book, I have been subject to attacks of the comma. My condition is alarming, and Dr. Leonard is doubt- 128 1929 GxE1 ful of my recovery. The attacks come about seventh hour in the form of themes, tests, or questionnaires. I get dreadfully dizzy and see, instead of the customary black dots, rule number one do a riotous dance with his eleven other acute pains. When the doctor's reports come out, some have regained healthy others, relapses. Well, something must be the matter with my constitution, for, I always have the latter. The doctor sternly says, You don't follow my orders. He doesn't, I guess, sympathize. We, though exhausted and weakened by our former efforts, follow orders faithfully for another period. But the comma, our seventh hour illness, holds no mercy. Then comes the announcement which raises everyone's temperature a few degrees--a test on Monday, the twelfth. Monday came. So did Tuesday. The doctor arose and said, Patients, there is an improve- ment. It was many weeks ago since all this happened, but, ever since, I grow ill and pale at the thought of a comma.

PREJUDICE There was one long line of human beings waiting anxiously in a magnificent building, competing for one position as a soloist in an immense Operetta. Men of all races and colors can be seen on this gigantic stage. One by one the number decreases slowly before many stern-faced judges. The tones! the qualities! what a variety! Some needed to be matured, polished, others had tone but other defects. One outstanding came up gracefully erect and finely clad. He sang one of his own spirituals, expressed his sentiments, his heart. His words came fluently, distinctly and the tones! Ah! words can not express them. No one could exceed them. Refused! !! But why, I will tell you-his face, it was black, a Negro. Prejudice is that thing that stings and pierces the heart like a spear! We who have struggled along, earnestly and constantly have to suffer indefinitely, then when we have attained those heights and see a pot of gold before us, are slapped in the face and blinded by this cruel, ugly, corrupt monster, half beast and half human. Yea! will it ever die? Can it be starved to death? Yes! Thanks to a One who holds destiny within His hands, it will fall as hard as it has struck us! . Are we not all created equalg endowed by unalienable rights? Should we be denied those rights given to us justly and by existence? No, but why? Prejudice, a something that spells its character within itself--Perfidy, Resentment, Enmity, Jealousy, Injustice, Direness, Ignorance, Chauvinism and Egotism. It is not only discovered and observed in one nation but it exists also in our fellow man, each individualg those with whom we meet daily and treat as friends. Do you think that those that possess this demon are ignorant of the fact? Are they thoughtful? No, a thousand times, if they place themselves in the shoes of the ones they shun and have snubbed and accept their actions similarly, would he achieve? No! He would starve. The world destroys enemies in health, in nature, in war, in home, why not destroy this great one in ourselves, in our minds, our hearts, our souls, this nine-legged beast- Prejudice. CALENE COLEMAN '30. THE. LISPING CHILD Feeling in need of entertainment one winter evening, I consulted the newspaper to see which theatre offered the best program. One particular show-place advertised a talk- ing picture starring my favorite actor, a tall and handsome individual with a generous share of masculine strength. It occurred to me that perhaps there would be a certain 129 1929 Cs1?iP..a Gtgf l2G:v amount of thrill gained from hearing his voiceg consequently I gathered together my bits of change, purchased a ticket, and entered the temple of the one-time silent drama. Ihe picture proved to be all that its enthusiastic advertisers had stated. For over an hour I sat entranced by the scenes of love, hate, and courage in which the two prin- cipal characters, the dashing hero and a petite blonde creature, rose to the heights of dramatic ability. During this time that instrument entitled the Vitaphone, instead of regis- tering the human voice, emitted sounds akin to those which come from a phonograph when the needle is no longer a needle, and the record has become scratched by constant abuse. At length, the story arrived at the point Where the villainous rogue threatened the life of the struggling, but helpless, heroine. However, friend hero arrived on the scene and the aforementioned music ceased to fill the air. Now I was to hear the longed-for voice! As the hero drew his pistol and pointed it at the evildoer, the following dialogue ensued: Hero: Get out of thith plathe in thixth thecondth, or I thall blow your brainth out! Villian: I thuppothe I muthtg you have outwitted me at latht. fE.xit the villainj Heroine fin a voice as deep as rumbling thunderlz O, my darling! You are tho thtrong and brave. Do you wonder that since that evening of disillusionment I have preferred my movies silent? However, I am not pessimistic about it, for the Vitaphone, like all children, must go through a stage of lisping before it has learned to speak intelligibly. MARY ELIZABETH BRENNAN. MY CELESTIAL SHOPPING LIST Some people say that Heaven is a place of pearly gates, palaces, silk pillows and harps. Without a doubt that would be a pretty environment in which to live, but if I were allowed to tell some of the things I should like to find there my list would be as follows: Most of all I should like an ideal camping place, a spot in the mountains beside a clear, deep stream, a stream in which I could both lish and swim. I should like this place to be surrounded by a forest filled with Howers and birds and animals. I should like to spend all hot and sultry days in this cool fragrant spotg that is, in case there are unpleasantly warm days there. Another thing to have and something which I should desire very much for nice days is an automobile. If the saying, The streets of Heaven are paved with gold, be true, then I shall have a very, very level road on which to drive my automobile. Of course, if there are speed laws I shall not exceed them, but speed laws or not, I shall want my car just the same. For entertainment during rainy days-I hope there is a drizzly day just now and then and sometimes a spring shower-I want a library well filled with interesting stories of adventure, mystery and foreign countries. Oh, I almost forgot, I shall also want a collie pup to go with me on my camp- ing trips. I think if I could have the above things I should spend a very pleasant life in that mystery land of Heaven. MILDRED PRYOR ,30. CALL IT WHAT YOU WILL! My parking space at night, often referred to as a bedroom, in the little two by four cottage was the size of a miniature doll house. The furniture in it looked so delicate I dreaded to sit on it lest I come in contact with the floor beneath. The walls ev A were covered with wall paper which contained enormous wild flowers and wild birds all mixed together in a great conglomeralion. Pictures of dancing girls and lovers gazed cheerfully at me from the wall. My bed was of maple veneer with one of those new fangled crinkled orange bed spreads. I had just popped into bed when a loud blare of syncopated rhythm, erroneously called music, burst into the air. As I listened I calculated that it came from some college Hsheiksi' letting off their excess steam by this modern version of a serenade. I pulled back my curtain to listen better. Moonbeams lit up the room, bringing birds, flowers, dancing girls and lovers to life. The music con- trasted greatly with the quiet moonlight but seemed exactly to coincide with the figures on the wall. As the music receded it became coarser and jerkier. But as I listened, to my surprise, I found myself being lulled to. sleep by that modern version of a dishpan band-jazz. e he E E HELEN SPRINCQER '30, T ANXIOUS MOMENTS . The day broke, the day which was to decide the fate of Peter Ducal III. At sunrise he was prowling around the bars of his prison wall searching for a hole by which to escape. Several hours passed then-ten or twelve uniformed men armed with clubs and guns poured through the little doorway. They were accompanied by three men in civilian clothes. Some younger boys, under the chaperonage of a capable governess were, perhaps, less formidable. The practiced eye of Peter could perceive no friend among them. Then he saw help coming. Pushing his way through the crowd, a young man was approaching the front ranks where the policemen stood. The very presence of this person seemed to lessen Peter's alarm. But his fears returned when he remembered that he and his ally were only two against this multitude. But one of these two was the all powerful in his eyes. His protector was showing some papers to the enemy. What did it mean? They were coming toward him-should he attack? A warning glance from his friend told him not to. Now the enemy was examining the scar on his left ear. Although Peter suspected a false move, he submitted quietly to their examination. One of the enemy spoke: Well, I guess he's yours. We knew he was a valuable dog, so we kept him here in the jail-yard where anyone passing could see him. HELEN KLINE '30, COMMITTEES Fon SENIOR CLASS PLAY 131 w's use-'af T'55fNAnh9fU Chapter IV. SENIOR A VERY CLEVER THREE-PART STORY Qlnflicted on the Readers of the Aegis by the Firm of Klopp, Postlethwait and Partleaul PART I Klopp Starts the Ball to Rolling: It shivered up to the curb and with a groan turned over once again and died. A door slammed, Nan got out of the Ford and without a word marched up the walk to the door of the Thayer household and slammed it behind her. The other occupant of one of Henry Ford's many thousand cars ran puzzled fingers through an unruly bunch of sandy hair. I-Ie squinted at the July sun which was just merging with the poplars. It might be added that these self-same poplars were the pride of Batavia's one and only boulevard. He gave the starter a disgusted kickg the very much collegiate automobile groaned at the thought of going but finally gyrated down the street. I Wonder what the devil got into her now? soliloquized Lawrence Paterson Hoffman as he dodged a delivery van. While pondering this question he ran up the drive and disappeared in the house. Back in the Thayer living room Nan was telling her sister Helen of the incident. Why, the darn old fool expects me to sit back and not say a word while he criti- cizes everyone I happen to go out with. That is, with the sole exception of himselff' But, dear, you've gone around with-him for simply ages and he naturally expects he has the right a little bitf' Well, he hasn't! 'N I don't care if he keeps on thinking it-I'll go out with whomever I please, whenever I please! I'm not engaged to him, thank goodness! . Still, Larry's a good kid, Sis, and you've got over quarrels with him before. just what did he say?,' Oh, we were riding along and suddenly he pops up with one of his bright remarks. Said something about Chris Meeker being an abbreviated jellyfish. I just hope the jealous old fool never speaks to me again! The telephone rang. Nan got up, then flopped down again. If that's Larry, tell him I'm out hunting dew worms. I will, like the devilff her sister retorted as she picked up the phone. PART II Poslletlnvait Takes It Up: Nonchalant as she tried to be, Nan could not help paying attention to the con- versation. Hello! Yes, this is I-Ielen. Oh, it's Larry? Just a minute, I'll call Nan. What? A puzzled look came over her face as she listened. Then a gleam of mischief came into her eyes. Oh, I see-why, I'd love to, Larry. What time? Oh, about eight. All right. I'lI be ready. Goodbye. Nan's indifferent air was completely broken and she started to ask Helen indig- nantly, What was the idea? Before she had two words out of her mouth Helen had tripped lightly up the stairs, giving her a teasing smile over her shoulder. That evening about eight o'clock, Nan was sitting on the front porch and wishing she had not been so mean to Larry. It would not have been so bad if someone else had ...f:'.:mo .AEGIS dyafisi-9110 asked her to go to the country club dance so that she could high hat Larry, but everyone knew them to be steadies and so no one else had asked her. In a few minutes Helen came down with a new dress on, and Nan's best beads. Although she did not have so beautiful a face and figure as Nan, she had personal charm and attractiveness which made her seem as beautiful to Nancy. Nancy looked rather surprised and said, Where you going? I see you've appro- priated my best beads, but I won't kick since I'm staying at homef' lVIe? Oh, I'm going out. I hoped you wouldn't mind the beads. If I were you I'd be careful about riding in old Fords with that new dress on, said Nan with a voice meant to be sarcastic. I think I can manage, Dearyf' answered Helen, as Larry drove up in a fine new car which his father had purchased that very day and with which he had wanted to sur- prisenNan. Shewas surprised, all right... There I.S.110 doubt about that. ,,Surprise, however, did not dominate her. When Helen waved to her from the fast disappearing car she could have bitten anything. Fifteen minutes later the phone rang. It was Chris Meeker. Yes, I know, Chris. You see, I had a terrible headache so he took Helen. Thanks just the same. I'd love to but I can't. Sorryf' About a half hour later when she had about decided to go to bed, the phone again jingled. Yes, this is Nancy. T his is Sam Hadley. Listen, how long would it take you to get ready to come over lo the dance? I'm sorry, Sam, but- Don't tell me you've got a'headache because you haven't. Heartache is your trouble. Now listen to me. You hurry up and get ready and I'll be around a half an hour later. There's an old friend of yours over here who wants to see you, so hurry upf' Nancy didn't know why, but she did as she was told. Larry's best friend had a good influence on her. He had helped to patch up quarrels before. Maybe he would do it again. At least she'd give him the chance. PART III Parileau Slaps on the Climax: Nancy's indifference had by this time died a sorrowful and natural death. She was no happier than before nor was she less stubborn, but a certain unaccountable feeling of the efficiency of God's plans came over her. Outwardly she was expressionless, stoic, a Chinese puzzle-but inwardly she knew her heart was singing, for here was action at least, and action, however slight, is bound to culminate in something definite. That some- thing might be what she secretly hoped, or it might prove unpleasant, perhaps embarrassing. At any rate she would gain nothing by sitting idly on the front porch remarking the rather monotonous growth of her mother's prize geraniums. She hastened to her room intent upon effecting a transformation in her appearance. I his ordinary bit of cloth designed for summefs great playday must be removed. In its place she must don some soft creamy creation of chiffon and lace with all accoutrements. There are tricks in all trades-and Nancy knew her line. There was just time for the change, a few magical passes over her gold brown hair, and a tete-a-tete with the powder puff. The puff had hardly been laid aside when there came an imperative series of toots from Sam Hadleyis time-worn Chevrolet in front of the house. No mistaking its identity or that of its owner. They were one and inseparable, Sam and that Chev. People spoke of Damon and Pythias, Caesar and Antony, and Sam and his Chev. with that same awed catch in their voice. They comprised the one great epic in the life of Batavia's younger generation. 15929- AEGIS 4'A3fX5QrDvQ Nan hurried to greet him but took care to make sure that she was fashionably late. As she reached the car she peered through the darkness that hovered over Poplar avenue to see if Sam had anyone with him. She half expected a joke. But no, it was all right. There was Sam, staunch, reliable Sam, with his hand fumbling with the car's steering wheel. throttle, radiator, or rear axle, Nan could never tell which. Hello, Sam, she said sweetly, wondering why in Sam Hill he had gone to the pains of paying her a call. It was like him to feel the keenest sort of interest in her affair with Larry, but what puzzled Nan was how in the world he even knew about this latest Bunker I-Iill. 'Lo, Nan, was the short but eamest greeting she received. Climb in. To be sure Sam didn't seem enthusiastic, but, then, he never was. One no more expected Sam to display excitement than one expected a wrist watch to keep time. With an expectant snort the car started and whirled away into the gloom. Nan waited hopefully for an explanation. None came. Eventually she decided to help matters along. Are we goin' to the dance at the Country Club, Sam? she asked. Yeh! This, thought Nan, was anything but enlightening. How come you called me up? was her next venture. Ummm! was Sam's only comment. I-Ie seemed strangely silent on this point. Nan played her trump. I s'pose you've been talkin' to Larry, haven't you, Sam? Umm! Good heavens! What was the matter with him. Nan gave up. Well, Sam, she began slowly. I know why you called me up. I guess I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so mean to Larry. But he provokes me somehow. Now don't you breathe a word of this to him if I tell you. The fact is I think more of Larry than of all the rest of the fellows in Batavia put together. But I wouldn't have him know it for the world. I-Ie'd only be meanerin ever. I know he would. That's why I quarrel with him. The only reason in the World. If I didn't he'd think he had me sewed up and salted down. But I do like him, Sam, more than he'll ever know. Sam made no comment on this. There was a wistful pause on Nan's part, as she thought of Larry and Helen waltzing fairylike over that simply lovely dance floor at the Country Club. Her mental soliloquy was rudely interrupted. She turned angrily and spoke to Sam. What're you laughin' at, Sam Hadley? Seems funny to you, does it? All right, go ahead and guffaw. Laugh, clown, laugh, and I hope you strangle! You can just bet I meant what I said and that's that ! Sam turned to her suddenly. Even in the extreme dark he seemed more than strangely familiar. Didja mean it, Nan? Didja? Huh? Nan felt her head growing light and hot with the swift rush of blood that swept into it. Larry! she exclaimed. You? Sure, was the ready answer. Who,d you think it was--Santa Claus Q! Oh, I think you're meanln Nan was crying. I s'pose it was you who pre- tended to be Chris Meeker! Right again! I-low'd it sound? Nan was weeping generously now, and Larry was weakening, and there's only one third of a page left, so the logical conclusion is that the story should end here and now. We reserve space for one more scene. A romantic scene. It is a beautiful summer evening-characters: Nan and Larry. Beyond this, we advance' no theory. The rest of the story shall be your secret, to do with as you will. 134 15f29YQ?x.1iEs GJ' AEG!S FIRST NIGHT The evening had come. Broadway was, as usual, filled for blocks and blocks around with a never ceasing stream of humanity. Myriads of lights, twinkling with mechanical perfection from countless signs, shouted the superiority of their sponsor's product. The incessant screeching of horns, the shrill demoniacal cry of a distant siren dying with a long sobbing breath, the thunderous rattle of nearby elevated trains, the piercing whine of automobile brakes, the pattering of New York's feet on the famous walks of a famous thoroughfare, a stray, dissolute and forlorn feline seeking shelter with an equally homeless, mangy, flea-tortured dog, both drenched by the drizzling of rain and reeking with an odor suggestive of a life spent in the sordid tenements of the lower East Side, and the sour, rotton garbage of a river-front hash house-all were a part of Broadway. But thisnight was 'First Night. Who'in New'York, indeed in any large city, had not longed to be a First Nighteru? Who on Park Avenue would not spend a fabulous sum to be mentioned Among those presentn? What modern debutante would not be thrilled beyond words to have the chair next to John Gilbert or Cornelius Vanderbilt Jn? Broadway's First Nightersn were all there. Celebrities, famous and infamous, all were given the homage due their rank by a multitude of curious and less fortunate on-lookers. At 'the First Night the society bud parades before the manikin. The gangster and the banker ride in equally luxurious limousinesg the opulence of the former made possible by the indulgence of the latter. This is the time the pale, wistful shop girl feasts her eyes on the lovely creations she sells to wealthy patrons. On this eventful night, under a beautiful wrought iron and colored glass canopy, sheltering the show windows of a small but exclusive shop, stood such a girl. She was young in years but old with care, and beside her a boy, a tall boy, handsome and dark, lingered. I-Ie had dark, curly hair, badly in need of trimming, that refused to stay pushed back under a shabby cap. I-le held her hand. They were gazing at the sleek, shining automobiles with their chauffeurs wearing livery that put the uniforms of the courtiers of Versailles to shame. They watched a door open. A lady, in ermine, and a gentleman resplendent in evening dress, emerged. The lady drew her wrap more closely. I-Ier head was high. What did she care if they were poor? The ignominious rabble could ogle their eyes out. The curly-headed boy and the care-worn girl turned around. And then his hand pressed hers more tightly. l-Ier little pale mouth tightened, her tired lashes drooped over tired eyes, hiding a sparkling mist which already covered them. They stared for a few moments. I-le drew her away from the window, where, truly the work of an artist, were posed a bride in a flowing lacy veil and a bridegroom kneeling before a kindly old priest-a gorgeous, satanic satire. CHARLES VAN ANTWERP '29, NO RICHES TO GIVE I have no riches to give and my heart sinks down with sorrow. I look about me and see the want and poverty of the world. I see the poor struggling students who give their health that they might become great. I see the ragged and pitiful war veterans and the little children blue with cold and faint with hunger. I see men and women who once had dreams doing menial tasks, crushed and oppressed by trouble and worldly needs. I :ee all these and my heart cries out to them but I have no riches to give. I am penniless and I know despair because I am impotent to help. Then I see the rich men and women of the world whose lives are wasted because they have not learned to live. I see them disillusioned and unhappy, weighted down by their gold. I see them calloused and pleasure seeking and I wonder at the curse of money. And then beauty wells up in me, pure and silver as the limped waters of Parnasus and I know that I have wealth greater than all riches for I have the world and I have God. I have rain and sunshine, joy and sorrow, pain and ecstacy. I have freedom and I have 135 1 9.2 9 Iraqis: Um szrfm AE c. 1 s S Mfzffiv talent and beauty in my soul. Then my heart in all its fullness, soars to the loftiest height for I know that if I work patiently and give my talent and beauty to the world my God will not blame me because I have no riches to give.

H When I reached the park I decided to take one last row before the winter came In the middle of the lake a squall blew up and I turned toward shore, discovering that I could scarcely see for the snow which was falling. Snow! On the nineteenth of No vember! Then we would have nineteen heavy snows during the winter. As I walked eastward I met an elderly lady who stopped as if to speak to me I paused in my humming and she asked me if I had eaten my breakfast. I thought lt rather an odd question but answered in the negative. She immediately became greatly excited and mumbled something about sing before breakfast, weep before supper. The bell rang just as I entered the school building. lVIy bad luck was beginning During the interval between- classes a Junior pulled my Senior ring off before I could stop her. I trembled to think of the dreadful consequences of that Junior's curiosity Pulling a ring off a person's linger! Nothing could help me now! At lunch the salt tipped over, and I realized it meant a quarrel, but walking to school I tried to ward it off by saying bread and butter when my friend and I went on different sides of a tree. I attempted to evade a Junior selling tickets for the play and at my refusal to buy she replied that people who had little ears were stingy. I replied that her hands were hot and warm hearted people had cold hands. On the way to Physics class I sensed disaster. And as a climax we had a com pletion test. I'd never heard of the factor of safety and after defeat on a definition of power I went down to look at the bulletin board for Seniors. While there I dis covered a buckeye in my pocket and looking at the charm which had failed me so, I went immediately and threw it out of the window. When mailing some letters at the post office I noticed some names on the blotter some of them I recognized and thought that ufools' names and fools' faces always appear in public places. After dinner I played several games of double solitaire and as my opponent was lucky in cards, unlucky in love I was defeated by a large score. I sewed a button on my coat remembering that ua stitch in time saves nine and so went to bed. Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise and I wished to be wise for the morrow's English test.

RIP VAN WINKLE IN MODERN DAYS We cannot help reflecting that Irving's Rip Van Winkle displayed a high grade of horse sense when he selected the 18th century for his long hibernation. It would have been truly unfortunate for Rip had he thoughtlessly put it off until a hundred years later. When Rip awakened refreshed and unknowing from his twenty years nap, he was considerably perturbed, we are led to believe. Vve can easily understand the resultant perplexity of a man who lies down for a brief afternoon's beauty nap, and upon awakening apparently the same evening, finds himself bewhiskered, rheumatic and aged. It is an embarrassing predicament. But suppose Rip's awakening had come about in the early 20th century. There would be more to combat. Unless the poor old Methuselah attached himself to a keeper, he couldn't survive over fifteen minutes. An over-joyful cab-driver would smear him over the lawn---he would be electrocuted by a fallen wire-an airplane might remove his ear-he might stray away after a lone blonde--or die of fright at the sight of a college boy attired in college bags, raccoon coat, and college crush, hey-heying his carefree way down the avenue. We are convinced that after a twenty years sleep Rip could not stand the pace. I-Ie would have to give it up and move to Normal where he could close his eyes in the hope that another twenty years would bring better days. VERNEIL PARTLOW '29, MODERN PANDORA Carefully she drew it out. While she appeared to be meditating she drew her finger tips across the ornate surface. A haunting oriental scent seemed to arise from it. For a few seconds she appeared undecided whether to open it or not. But finally, unfastening the intricate catch, she raised the lid. There were no horrid insects to fly out as those when Pandora opened the fateful boxg there appeared to be still another cover to the interior. A shining surface on the under side of the lid caught her eye and she surveyed the image there. Cautiously she lifted the second cover. Microscopic objects fluttered out. She drew back but as soon as they were all a sufhcient distance away she lowered her head to it, peering into unknown depths. She exclaimed, I-Iow darling! Is it new? and shut the compact. VIRGINIA MANDLER. THE FATE OF A WEEKLY NEWS REVIEW Now let me see, Owen D. Young was sent to the reparation conference with the Sweethearts on Parade. Oh, I-Iello! Chiang Kai Shek.

Well, what's the idea of ringing that bell just when I get all settled for some good hard studying? VERNA PILS '29, DREAMS Weston's Grocery had had but little business all day. The blanketing, smothering heat of midsummer had thrown a pall of lassitude over the little town of Morriston, so only a few persons had emerged from their homes. In the grocery, Mrs. Ronalds, the general clerk, sat on a low chair placed before the main counter. I-ler rough, large- jointed hands, speaking eloquently of grinding toil, were lying loosely in her lap, and her eyes were fixed abstractedly on the deserted street outside. It hardly seems possible, she thought, that I've saved enough money for that trip to Lorring Harbor, but I have. Perhaps I'll go-yes, I will go. It will be so cool by the sea, and it's so hot here. I might stay a month. I wonder if Marian will mind if I leave her at home. She could visit Grace. The mere possibility of visiting Lorring Harbor conjured up before her a vision of the ocean there-a vast, blue ocean-whose waves foamed and danced along the beach. There would be mornings, all blue and gold, and evenings when rose fires would flame in the west. How often her grandfather had told of the sea when the white winged ships sailed from the eastern ports to China! The ocean had seemed more vast then, and the cargoes were silks, spices, and tea. Now she would see the ocean! She would live by it a whole month! When she was a child, inflamed by her grandfatheifs romantic stories, she had vowed that some day she would see and travel on the ocean. Later Life proved to her that dreams have a way of refusing to be realized. All her early life was spent in Morriston. When she was twenty-five she married. Four years later her husband died, leaving her and a baby girl named Marian. It was not easy to keep a home and educate Marian, but her ambition persisted. Little by little she would save money for a trip to the sea, only to watch it drain away by the demands of more prosaic things. At last she had saved enough for the fulfilling of her childhood dream! Somehow the long day drew to its close. At five o'clock Mrs. Ronald left the store and went home. The thought of the ceasing for a while of the dreary routine that occu- pied her days made her thrillingly happy. At home she found Marian waiting for her at the door. Mrs. Ronalds always felt a shock of unreality when she thought of the fact that Marian was an eighteen year old girl already graduated from high school! Mother, I hate to see you working like this. Maybe Mr. Weston would let me take your place at the store. Here I'l1 take that package. Supper is almost ready. Marian opened the door for her and took the package. Mrs. Ronalds went in the kitchen and finished setting the table. The room was steamingly hot, but+thank goodness-the sun was being obscured by some dark clouds. She reflected that Life is not so bad after all. She had raised a pretty daughter who was a credit to anybody. Here a warm tide of affection swept through her. She loved Marian partly because Marian had many of the qualities she lacked. I-ler own taciturn, aloof nature marvelled at her daughter's demonstrative friendliness. Marian was popular- Mrs. Ronalds remembered how lonely her own youth had been. Marian was pretty- here her mother smiled grimly- Goodness knows, even when I was her age, I was any- 138 19Q9 o AEClSlKf3c thing but pretty. Those fleeting reflections were followed by a vision of the dancing, blue ocean that she would at last see. No, Life was not so bad after all. Marian breathlessly ran up to her mother and thrust a sketch in her hand when she came into the kitchen. How good that is, Marian! It doesn't seem possible that you drew it. Why, it looks more like Main Street than any photograph could look! I showed some of my drawings to my art teacher before school closed. Guess what she said! What? She said that I have a great talent and that I should go to a good art school. I need training in technique, Marian peered anxiously at her mother. Mrs. Ronalds slowly set the pitcher she was carrying down. Did you have any special fplans, MarianY3 'ff , if 'W-Y -f-H I thought that I might go to the Art Institute at Chicago. A twelve weeks course is about sixty-seven dollars. Could you loan me the money? I know it's a lot to ask you, but I promise to pay it back as soon as I can. Mrs. Ronalds walked slowly to the window and stood there looking with unseeing eyes at the gathering clouds in the west. Her mind seemed numb. She thought dimly that it might rain tomorrow. Then a picture of going on clay after day in her old fashion crept into her mind. A sinking feeling of despair overwhelmed her. What should I do? If I loan the money to Marian, I'll have to stay here all summer-may be all next summer. It takes so long to save money. I'm so tired of this place. After my trip I could drudge my life away cheerfully with the memory of it with me. But if I go, Marian will have to wait and plan to go some other time. No, I don't want her to do that. I spent my whole life 'planning to go some other time.' Her life must be different! It must!', Mrs. Ronalds turned from the window and faced Marian in the growing gloom. I'll give you the money. You'll need more for your train fare, your board, and clothes. But I think I can manage-- I'll get work and earn as much as I can, mother. You can- Mrs. Ronalds broke in almost fiercely. Promise to work hard at the institute and do your best. Perhaps someday you can do all the things I've longed to do. Perhaps you'll be a great artist, but it's hard to make dreams come true. So many things have to be sacrificed. She turned to the window and in a quieter voice said, Marian, have you ever noticed how those fields of grain to the west look like a vast and rolling sea?,' ANNA BRITTAN '29. TABBYING Did you ever notice that cat? She sits there in the sun just humming a little tune, and won't even twist a feeler for ten minutes. After her beauty nap, she languidly brushes her ears and stretches her silk mittens out for inspection. Then at the sight of her hidden claws she effects a manicure in preparedness. The scenery and personal touches all set, she waits for some unsophisticated prey to catch and intrigue her half closed eyes. Don Juan didn't miss it far when he took one look at Lucretia and uttered to himself- Cat FLORENCE GODDARD 'Z9. TI-IE. I-IELPER I hear again that familiar foot-step upon my porch. l'Ie's rapping at the door. I do not fear when I meet the worst of my enemies, but I shudder to meet the friend who comes and never goes. I-le will most likely take a seat in my easiest chair, ask about the news and then give his candid opinion on the topics of the day. He takes plenty of liberty but never takes leave. I-Ie reads my daily paper through before I have had a 139 1929 AEGISS 4 ?f2t Q chance to see a word. And he very calmly smokes my last cigar and asks very cooly for more. He opens everything he sees but the door to go. He talks about his ill health and has suffered with all the ailments known to the medical science. When he comes I know he is like a Spring rain, that is, he will last throughout the entire day. I speak of urgent tasks, but all in vain. He is quite a critic of poetry, for he delights in quoting someone's poetry and then criticizing instead of eulogizing. I think I shall remove my door bell or hang crepe on the door in order to keep my helper away. EUGENE Cov1NcToN. TI-IE NEW TALKIES Tradition has it that the femmes are the voluble members of society. Not so in the good year I929. Women's tongues have fallen below par, and-sh-men's are on the rise. At intermittent intervals, murmurs, gesticulations, whispers, and snickers are emitted from the back row of a distinguished Senior Third Hour Section. Herb Price, Ed Postlethwaite, V erneil Partlow, Wib Bodman, Red Wilson, Dewitt Holcomb, and Ray Vollrath comprise this group of new Talkies. Whether the topic is finance, psychoanalysis, High School ethics, or any species of modernism in thought, word or deed, they react in speech before the weaker sex has the least opportunity for contributing an opinion. The reputation of giggling girls and feminine gossip is on the wane and a new era is here! , DoRoTHY LORENZ '29. TI-IE ENGLISH F ERN , On entering room II5, one of the first things that caught the eye was the little green-Ieaved friend in the southeast corner of the room. Every school day for six months this friend had helped inspire the Senior English classes, tutored by Miss Inman. In the fern were to be found friendship, hope, life, welcome, and perhaps a bit of Bryant, Words- worth, and even a speck of Shakespeare. All virtues of the English Fern were shattered in the eyes of the English students, when, on coming to class one day, they beheld the loved Fern in a rather dilapidated condition. It had been loaned to those who evidently did not appreciate its value, and had come home to regain its health and strength. It is now beginning to thrive on Emerson and Longfellow. May the English Fern be the inspiration to the class of '30 that it has been to the class of 29! JEAN WAGNER 'Z9. OLD DRESSES VS. NEW GIRLS fApropos of the preparation for acquiring the correct styles of dresses for the Senior Play, The Rise of Silas I..apham. J There in the old fashioned trunk lay a heap of dresses. Satins, silks, and woolen broadclothsg all so old that, could they but speak, what tales they could tell! Pick out something, girls, said Miss Neidermeyer, and see how it fits. Yes, see how it IIISU! Uhh! take a deep breath, ah, there! Now hook! Oh! oh! how did they ever wear such styles of dresses? Remember how we rummaged through and fitted and sewedg took up and put ong fastened and loosened?

MARY ELLEN KRUM 'Z9. THIS MODERN THIRD HOUR BUSINESS In the good year of 1929 there came into our curriculum in B. H. S1 a new idea! We, the less frequent burners of the midnight oil, were separated from the favored Ais, B's, and Cs who were given twenty-five more minutes to devote to Education in the study halls. To us fell the pleasure of choosing an adviser from a list selected for the four years. What was the big idea, anyway? Well, you see, it's this way-We are partici- pating in the national movement of modernize at a small cost. I mean, we are no longer the little red school house, but a big towni' needing aldermen as well as a mayor. In this third hour period we became the buying public and purchased various ticketsg we soar to the land of philosophyg we sink to the mere level of a mortal seeking enter- tainment and enjoy assemblies-paid or otherwiseg we are discussed and cussedg and now and then we snatch a few minutes of study. ELIZABETH LUDWIC. '29. THE CAFETERIA STUDY HALL I should call the Cafeteria Study Hall one of the great opportunities which this institution four principal's pet wordj has. It seem as though the stage is all set for deep study. e As we pull up our chairs to the long tables we feel as though we are about to dine and so we are, but it is on mental food. A very few of us devour it rapidly and continually. Some of us being more polite partake of this food slowly, often stopping to converse with our tablemates. Most of us, however, do not feel the least bit hungry and sit watching the clock, wishing the meal was over. Some of our tablemates who happen to be very impolite, inconsiderate and so on CI can,t call them bad enough namesj push the table back and forth. This puts us in a bad humor and thus causes indigestion. ESTELLE GRONEMEIER '30. COLONIAL NEW ENGLAND Boston! The word fairly reeked of cobblestones, baked beans, and history. Which of these things should we see first? This was the question we asked ourselves when we first arrived in Bostong however, it was easily answered, for looking down at our feet we beheld the famous cobblestones, and when we were called to breakfast, the first thing f'V Q5 1929. 55429 4-r-We I B Ai-:cis give put before us was a dish of delectable beans. Now for the history. Really one might almost give up in despair of seeing all of it, as at about every turn of the corner, a fresh bit came to light. Early in the morning we started out. Our first destination was Old North Church. We soon found ourselves in the midst of a fruit market. Hundreds of Italian voices were lifted in an appeal for customers. Dirty little foreign children rolled at our feet and made frantic dashes in front of any automobile adventurous enough to come into this district. Finally, we saw ahead of us, Old North Church, crowded in amongst the dirty tenements. We obtained permission from the sexton to go inside and upon doing so, found ourselves in a real colonial church. All was painted white, and soft carpets covered the floors. The pulpit was elevated above the congregation, which sat in small box pews. A little ways from the church was Copp's Hill cemetery. There we went and wandered among the graves, reading the queer inscriptions. Hailing a bus, we were driven to the Paul Revere home. The first story of this house was occupied by an old antique shop and on the second floor we found the Revere home. Quaint old furnishings and primitive rooms made us feel as if we had gone back a century or two. As we reentered our car, swarms of dark children yelled, screamed, and recited pieces in an effort to win some money from us. We gave them some, and upon throwing it out, all the children in the neighborhood piled on top of each other trying to get possession of it. Bunker Hill monument shone out tall and inspiring as we came towards it, and here again the street gamins shrieked out their wants and were only detained from placing themselves under the very wheels by sharp rebukes from the driver. After a luscious New England dinner we took a coach and rode out by the sea to Marblehead. Someone has said that the first settlers built their homes along cowpaths. I sincerely believe so, for the town seemed laid out with no definite idea of unity what- soever. As the coach went rumbling and turning down the crooked streets, the Guide pointed out several places in which witches were said to have resided and he showed us at one place a very peculiar looking house, where it is said two quarreltome brothers lived and one of them, in a fit of anger, sliced off his side of the house and had it moved to another side of town. Suddenly we turned a corner and there before us lay one of the most delightful scenes I have ever seen. Stretching far away in front of us, lay the bluest of blue waters, and in the midst of it rested a graceful white yacht. Dozens of small sail boats skipped merrily around it and a flock of sea gulls swooped overhead. A half hours' ride brought us to another of the most interesting towns in America, Salem. Here was the seat of the witch outrages. We were shown Witches' Hill, which looks most innocent now. 'lihe thing I enjoyed the most of all was a visit to the House of Seven Cables. Outside it seemed very much the same as in the time of Nathaniel Hawthorne, and looked forbidding enough to vouch for a dozen murders. Inside, however, all was cheery, the little shop bell, which was still in working order, and the white wainscoting greatly relieving the atmosphere. We were escorted to the secret passage and the little garden at the rear of the house, then back again to the street. Colonial homes of beauty and durability were among the most greatly to be admired features of New England. New England is one of the loveliest places that one might visit. For the sake of history it is incomparable and for the sake of beauty it is one of the best places one could find. If you ever happen to be in the East do not miss seeing New England. ALICE J.

EDWIN ZOMBRO '33, 9 ,gg om?ffai .iQ9J5s c. 1 s TO SIR WALTER RALEIGH Long time ago the sea flashed in your eyes, Your boyish eyes, peering into the future. I wonder when you gazed upon the sea, That had washed the shores of those far- off Westem lands And rolled and swelled into the coasts of England, Did you see your future in the wind and wave? Did the bronze-red clouds of sunset be- come I-Iigh-pooped Spanish galleons weighted with wealth? Did you see the golden, shining treasure That someday, to the sorrow of Spain, you would seize? And when the billowing clouds, piled mountain-high, Thrust themselves into the soaring blue. Did they become A vision of El Dorado? You heard of El Dorado In later years from old, old mariners. They said, It is a fairy place, a magic place, Lying beyond the rolling sea in the conti- nent to the southg It is a city of gold, viewed by no mortal eyes, Where one may drug one's sense until life becomes A dim dream, a half-remembered whirl- pool of forces That tosses men back and forth and never gives them peace. Yes, peace you may find there, a slow resting from all weariness- It is also a city of gold, so the greedy ones said. Therefore with burning eyes you sought the southern lands El Dorado you never found, but found a losing of all faith- Defeat. EI Dorado was a vague dream. But still I wonder, when in your dark dungeon You heard the moan of that complain- ing sea, Did El Dorado Hash upon your eyes? ANNA BRITTIN. THE EMPTY HOUSE It stands all alone by the road-side there, And we pass it by on our way Without a thought that perchance it may care About its sorrowful plight today- That its windows are broken-its roof badly bent- That nobody wants it not even to rent- That its secret's exposed through the wide open door Left by the boys, who forgot in their playg So we pass it by with a sigh, and we say It's nobodyis home any more! Time was when it too was happy and proud When it sheltered its treasures there With its doors thrown open to a frolic- some crowd Of young folks blithesome and fair. And the old house smiled upon their fun, As it knew that for them life had just begun. No wonder now its pride's no more For the young folks have gone, And with them their song It's nobody's home any more! But sorrow did come to the old house, toog And in silence it suffered then In silence it waited for well it knew, That 'twould soon be alright again. But now deserted the old house stands, just a memory of what's gone before. For its dear ones have gone to that far away land To dwell forever on that distant strand, It's nobody's home any more!

THE STAR OF FRIENDSHIP A star is a little candle light Shining out the door, Lighting the way for the wanderer Across the vast black moor. When the night is clear and bright And the moon is beaming down, The moorland changes to a snowy road Of dancing eiderdown. A star is the sparkling countenance Of a loyal friend to cherish, Whose eternal love and sacrifice Will never cease or perish. And even after the snow of death The bondage no mortal can sever: Its beauty and strength always goes on As a symbol of friendship forever. VIRGINIA MANDLER 'Z9. WATCH US!

GENE DAVISON '30, MY SONG I might have sung so sweetly long ago When I was young and innocent of all The stains that life can leave upon a man. My soul was filled with beauty, and I longed To pour my madness out upon the world In glorious words of ecstacy. I prayed That I might soar as none had soared before, And lift my voice in freedom to the sky. But, though the wings of inspiration beat Within my breast for outlet to the sun, I did not sing, for I could never find Words worthy of the thoughts my heart had held. So then I worked to find those words that I I-lad ever sought in vain, and, working, soon Forgot that they were but the means to give Snblimity to, all the world. One .day I found that all my ecstacy had died Forgotten-unexpected, and I had lost The power to bring it back to life. And roots Of worldly wisdom then were fixed within The recess of my soul where beauty once I-Iad dwelt alone. And now a host of words Are mine at will, but with that beauty dry And dead, the world will never hear my song. GRETCHEN SMoo'r 'Z9. ODE.

GENE DAVISON '30 mffQef.mm AEGIS 'Witte' Chapter V EXCAVATING SAM First Prize-Mernzin Cup BY VIRGINIA JOHNSTON A true friend ought to be like a buried treasure that yeu could dig up whenever you need it. Flihatis the may Sam was when I excavated him. Sam had been my only real friend in my childhood days because he was the only one that didn't laugh at what mother called my Hmooningf' When he was fifteen and I was twelve we were sent away to private schools and we just didn't write to each other. I suppose we really should have corresponded but there didn't seem much need of it at the time for we were both living very full and happy lives. I am willing to forget forever the letters we didn't write and speak no more of them. I still suspect Sam of forgetting me for all those last four years and I almost forgot him until I was forced to remember him by a great need-and dig! All this happened in my last year at Linden Col- lege. About two weeks before the Senior dance, the very last dance I would attend there and therefore the most important, I quarreled with Marvin. We had been going together for almost a year and I had naturally counted on taking him, although I had made no definite arrangements. It happened one night as he was helping me out of the canoe after a lovely evening. I loathed it, and scrubbed it off my lips with my hand- kerchief, in between telling him what I thought of him for being so despicable. Then I put him out of my life forever. I suffered! 'lihe next Saturday I saw him walking down I..over's Lane with Alys. I realized that I was without a single prospect for the dance. I knew right then that Alys would grab him even if she had to shove her cousin off on somebody else. What if I had to be that somebody.else! Never! But every other man I knew had promised himself to some other girl-in lots of cases just as I had planned it. I couldn't stand it! And I, the President of the Senior class, couldn't be the only odd. Then in my despair I thought of Sam. I hadn't seen him for almost four years but I knew that he would always help out a friend. I sat down and wrote him all about it. I was in a terrible hurry and I'm afraid I didn't write it as nicely as I should. I ended with a strong plea. So you see, you just have to come, and if I ever stood by you in things like jam and cookies-and telling lies about fishing--and going swimming in February, come to my rescue now. HBABS.H P, S. I trust it won't interfere with your own graduation, but come anywayf Two days after I had mailed my letter I received from him the following telegram: Coming in war-paint. Sam. 'lhat was all! Just three small words. But those few words made me feel faint, weak, giddy. I got a sudden mental picture of Sam, the Sam I had known, with a great, 149 j 1Q-29 QQ W wide mouth, a pink face, sprinkled with big red freckles and a great shock of carroty red hair. And all that on top of a long, lanky, gawky body. How the girls would laugh. And how Alys would flaunt her triumph. Oh, why had I been so hasty? Then I came to my senses. I dorft care if Sam is the ugliest man in the world and all the girls say so and make fun of him and me, too, I said to myself as I walked toward the dormitory. There isn't one other man that is as nice and as fine as he. And if they dare to slight him. Well! just thinking of anybody's slighting Sam made me feel indignant. Then I thought about myself. Oh, Well. I'd ask June and some of my best friends to be es- pecially nice to him and I'd see to it that he didn't feel slighted. The last week was so busy with exams and teas and receptions and all, that the hours, the minutes, and the seconds seemed in a mad rush to slip past me. I didn't lose much time in sleeping but when I did stop for small rests I would keep dreaming of Sam as he looked that last time I saw him. It haunted me. That vision of the Sam of early days as he thumped me sympathetically on my back when I was troubled. Instead of getting any more worried about how Sam would appear at that dance I just got more and more anxious to see him and madder and madder at the idea of anybody's slighting him, especially Marvin with his supercilious attitude and undeniable good looks. Sam Bigham Severence is a Virginia gentleman of many generations even if he presents an eccentric appearancef' I found myself saying haughtily to the mirror as I stood arrayed for the Junior tea. At last the day for which I had been both hoping and fearing arrived. But when the time came--no Sam. He wasn't among them. He couldn't be one of the handsome boys that had arrived. What if he hadnit come after all! It Was horrible. Why, hello, Babs! How did you expect me to find a sun-browned string-bean. of a girl when she's enveloped in trailing clouds? came in a booming, glorious voice that was both strange and familiar. Sam!,' I gasped in astonishment at the person that stood before me. He was broad shouldered and splendid, and had wavy dark red hair, and the nightmarish freckles showed only in fascinating patches on both sides of his nose. I was stunned! The thing that finally brought back my breath was his mouth. It was still very wide and merry and the blue eyes danced into mine with about six-year-old glee. 4 Well, we do rather stagger each other, don't we, Babs?', he remarked. I didn't answer. I couldn't. The joy and relief that swelled up in my heart left me wordless. It was with a delicious little feeling of triumph that I introduced him to my friends. Not Sam Severence of the All-American in !927! Not the candidate for the Olympics this year! gasped Marvin. , Sam blushed and mumbled some reply in the affirmative! And to think that I had forgotten all about his athletic record! Why, even if he had been as homely as-as Lincoln, himself, his standing would have won him honors that night. And being both good-looking and famous, he was the hero of the evening. The girls figuratively bowed down on their knees and worshipped him. I was always in the midst of a group of ex- cited girls, all begging for dances. And lVIarvin and former idols ranged like satellites about Sam. Then we danced our first dance together. He had learned his steps in Virginia and I had learned mine' in Connecticut, but for both of us it was just like dancing with our own selves. He was a most perfect dancer. And only a few hours before I had farmed Sam out to sit behind the palms with each one of my ubestiesi' for one dance, and I had expected to keep him there out of the way for the rest of the time myself. My heart almost failed me at the thought and I missed a step. 150 1 Q2 9 Zq,1,Lf.1fsa5.,-Ynibm U 5 AEGlS c4'55Fx' , Sa Steady, Babsf' he laughed down at me. You repay me for teaching you to balance on one foot on a rock in the Little Rapidsg you are one dancer. I felt in a panic about him, and wished desperately that he had turned out to be the Sam I could sit behind the palms with. I never got this new Sam near the palms. Everybody wanted to dance with him, and the ones I had farmed him out to had the right, and I had to give up dances to the others. I didn't mind, I was glad, for every minute I got more and more afraid of him. I never had seen anybody like him before, and all the others I had thought were men, I now saw were mere boys. I was in an agony of shyness, and I knew that there wasn't any place in the whole wide world to hide from him, especially as he had always lived next door to me, and probably always would, as our families had done it for three generations already. And I wanted my own ugly Sam again, not a horrifying, glittering celebrity like this! I felt so strange and distant! It was, for some reason, hard to talk naturally, and so we just kept silent. Then, as we were descending the steps to the garden Sam tripped and sprawled on the path below me in a perfectly undignified and ludicrous manner. It was too ridiculous! We both laughed and then the ice was broken. He was still the awkward old Sam underneath all this outward poise and polish. You look as you did that time you slid so gently off that pony. lim astonished at the ease and quickness with which it was done,', I laughed. Then we both plunged into a flood of reminiscences. Heck, Babs! We sure did have lots of fun in those days,', Sam said presently. Why, it's been so long since I've been home that I hardly know what the place looks like. All the time I've managed to spend there has been crammed in between vacation trips and school. And you never were home when I was. We've been missing out all 'round, haven't we? I really think we owe it to our folks-and-to ourselves-to spend this summer at home. I agreed mutely, for I was thinking of all the country club dances, the house parties and other pleasures that were awaiting us. And all this with Sam! 55 55 55 55 55 Q4 The next August I wrote the following letter to mother who was spending the sum- mer at Newport: Dearest Mother: Do you know what ever became of that wedding veil of yours? I've looked in every possible place and I haven't unearthed the thing yet. And I couldn't think of being married in any other veil. Is all this talk of marriage a surprise to you? It wasn't meant to be, for I'm trying to break the news gently. Iim engaged! To Sam Bigham Severence! Since about two hours ago. It's late now and I'm sitting up to write to you. And I've had the worst time trying to think of a way to lessen the shock. I-Iave I succeeded? Mother, dear, we've decided to wait a few years while he starts his law practice. We'll have plenty of time to plan my trousseau, so don't worry about it but enjoy your vacation. I'1l write you more in detail in a few days but now I just can't think.

I S 35 X' LOVE, POTATOES AND OTHER THINGS Second Place BY ROBERT KNAPP ' We were pals, closer than a Scotchman down to his last nickelg and had been for two years. The three of us-Johnny, Jim, and Bill, had been almost inseparable and on being tagged as the Triumvirate by a teacher one day, had become so known throughout the school. I guess we just fitted each other perfectly, but now this had come to break it up-a woman had spoiled it. John, my boy, I said, we've just got to do something. Why she's got him twirled around her little finger. lt wouldn't be so bad, but she's terrible. There's absolutely nothing there. You know how often he's told us his ideal about women. How they should not do anything but look pretty. Well it's her seeming helplessness thatls got him now. Oh, I admit she's good- looking and she can pull this frail violet stuff like Greta Garbo herself but, Johnny, she's breaking up the Triumvirate. Why, we haven't seen him, outside of school hours, for a week. True!', was the eloquent but hardly helpful remark drawled out by the boy friend. For once we agree, but that doesn't get us anywhere with a solution. F rail violet! Huh! A year ago, she used to hike fifteen miles every Saturday and she could out- roller skate everybody for blocks around, but all of a sudden she's got a crush on Jim and, what's more, he's got a crush on herf' Well, we might talk to him about it. Sure, and then he would be more set than ever. You know him just as well as I do. Hels stubborn as a mule. To show him the error of his ways wouldn't help things a bit. He'd go right ahead and do the same thing, only fasterf' Well, said the little helprnate, I'll tell you. We've got to think up a scheme. Fine, fine! And now that you've practically settled the question, good sir, will you kindly condescend to add the trivial detail of what the scheme might be? Listen, smarty, retorted Johnny, I thought you'd pull one of your cute, sar- castic speeches. What do you think of this?', And he forthwith entered into a disserta- tion on breaking up unnecessary love affairs, which even yet sounds all right. But, dear reader, sounding all right is far from being all right. We found that out! The evening for the consummation of the plot was warm and clear, with a nice moon. We had arranged a steak-fry for the six of us, the Triumvirate proper and a girl for each of us. Of course Jim brought the pest, whose name, by the way, was Dorothy Mahoney, and Johnny and I brought a couple of girls that we go around with quite a lot, Mary Logan and Pat Smith. We bought some steak, bread, onions, pickles, doughnuts and that kind of stuff and hiked out to a place on the edge of town where there's a spring in a large grove of trees with rocks scattered around through the grove. People from town go out 'there a lot, but it was a little late in the season for most of them, and we were the only ones there that night. e,.f.:fa-s11929'e.1..i'.a, AECQIS +22 A The girls were in knickers and we boys wore our oldest clothes. On the way out everybody laughed and talked and seemingly had a good time, but just the same there was a tension in the atmosphere and we four were a little strained and unnatural. After a while, though, when we saw that Jim and Dorothy were too absorbed in each other to notice anything else, the rest of us began to enjoy ourselves, too. It commenced to get dark a little after we arrived at the grove, so the male members of the party gathered firewood while the so-called domestic sex began to unpack the victuals. After We'd gotten a short way off, looking for wood, John came over to me and whispered, Let's give it up, Bill, I haven't got the heart to go through with itf' What! And lose eighty cents. Not me, boy. Buck up. I admit it's kind of a dirty trick but think of all the times she's monopolizecl his car when we might have been riding in it. Beat it! There hgcomesf' W 'K' 'Y' Why don't you punks get to work? You'd think you were telling secrets or some- thing the way you're mumbling around, was the innocent but terror-striking remark made by Jim as he passed us with an armload of wood. Hear that, John? Maybe he suspects something. Maybe we better give it up. What! And lose eighty cents. No, sir, We've gone too far to quit now. Besides, how could he know anything about it? Well, you know these women. We got Mary and Pat to promise not to tell, but maybe they won't be able to keep it to themselvesf, Razzberries! They wouldn't give it away. Come on, it's dark and we can start the works now. We went back to the fire and after a few minutes I, as innocently as possible, men- tioned the fact that it would be very nice if we could have some potatoes for supper. John cleared his throat and then after a reassuring look from Mary, Pat and me, said: '6I'll tell you. There's a whole field of potatoes over here that belong to old man Peterson. l..et's all go over and dig up a few. I-Ieill never miss them and we really need them to make a well-balanced meal. Ask any home economics student if we don't. Jim's Oh, letis stay here and be comfortable was drowned out by a chorus of I..et,s go ln So we banked the fire and started off, Johnny in the lead and the rest following. There was enough moon to show us our way but it was quite dark enough to be spooky and to give us an ominous feeling of adventure, too. Everytime anybody started to speak he would be interrupted by a series of Pipe downs, Shut ups, and Sh's that made far more noise than the original statement ever would have. We all stumbled over rocks and sticks at various times but finally arrived safe and fairly sound, at the barbed wire fence that bordered the field. Many large trees lined the field which was adjacent to the house. The company ceased operations for a moment and held a conference before climbing over, crawling through and sliding under the fence. Mr, President, I move that we, each and every one, deprive the opposing force, namely and to-wit, old man Peterson, of two potatoes, the sum total of spoils after the depredations to be twelve C125 potatoes and thatl Oh, be yourself, Bill. This is no time for parliamentary rule. l..et's get gone. I'm going down in the middle. Maybe I can pick up a carrot or two as a sideline. Let our ruthless band proceedf' said I. Ruthless, my eye! Well, if you can show me anybody here named Ruth, I'll go without my potatoes. Oh, for heaven's sake! exclaimed Pat, groans, hisses and other exclamations of disgust! What a pun! Jar loose! jim is over the fence and on his way already. Well, to make a short story still shorter, we got over the 'fence and down the field and started digging potatoes. This was the cue. Oh brother, dear brother, where art thou? At last, he came. 153 CqQfSxs,,g AEGIS 4V5 Down by Jim there was a tree and from this tree there came a noise. What made the noise? It was a ghost. Who was the ghost? It was myl Wup! Wait a minute, I'm not ready for that yet. To get back to, From this tree there came a noise. It came all right. A kind of low roaring whirr that chilled even my blood and I knew what it was. Jim turned and saw a now swelling, now shrinking white shape coming towards him. Run for your lifeli' he yelled. It's either a ghost or old man Peterson or both. As usual, Dorothy was by Jim, and as soon as she heard that noise she jumped up and started running. We four plotters were rods ahead of the other two and we turned to watch them while we just ambled along. just as we had expected, the delicate little flower suddenly came to active life and in spite of Jim's best efforts gradually drew away from him. Everything was working out beautifully. You see, the plot had been that Jim, who rather prided himself on his running, when he saw the frail violet out-running him, would have seen the truth, and his temperament would never have permitted him to go with a girl who could outdo him in his own pet specialty, sprinting. But suddenly, Jim fell and Dorothy looking back saw him get up, stagger a step and then fall to the ground again. Things looked bad for the scheme, but if she kept running he might still see the truth so when she was a few yards away we started running in earnest. Hurry up! we yelled but she yelled back, Go on back and help Jim, he can't get up.', We, knowing that there was no danger went right ahead, but all of a sudden, I found both myself and John, tripped, fallen and lying in the dirt, with a panting form above us shaking her fist and saying, Get up, and go get him, will you? And step on it. I'll hold the old man off. And, what in later track meets proved to be the best female runner in our part of the state was off again in the other direction with two nitwits following, Who, if they had had time, would have felt very, very, foolish. We had carefully seen to it that the steak-fry took place on Friday night, for Friday night the band practices and old man Peterson plays the tuba in the band. This assured us of freedom from danger. The ghost was my kid brother, as you probably know now, hired for the evening for one dollar and sixty cents, jewed down from two and a half. In a few seconds Pat was back by Jim pelting the retreating ghost with potatoes. As the ghost himself later said, Don't think she couldn't throw them, eitherf, John and I picked up Jim and with the supposed aid of prods and threats from the efficient rear guard, got him out of the field and eventually back to the fire where we discovered that Jim had a slightly sprained ankle, nothing serious, but not to be used again that night. Imagine my embarrassment when, with a cheerful grin, a sheet, a small siren and a few potatoes that idiotic brother of mine showed up at the camp fire. Dorothy, now no frail violet, put her hands on her hips, surveyed John and me from head to foot and said, after a short but significant interval of dead calm, Well?,' No response was heard from either yours truly or the gentleman known as John, but Mary and Pat, who had heretofore been pretty much in the background, came forward and smoothed things over a bit with a mixed ten minute conversation. You know how women can do that when the occasion arises. Well, there isn't much more to the story except that we ate fthat may not sound important but it wasl , went home, and in future evenings found that Jim's car would hold six, and quite comfortably, too, I might add. Dorothy is really a good egg when you get to know her. Oh, yet! The moral. Every good story ought to have a moral. This one's is: MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS. 154 1929 AEGIS 'Vip' THE UNREQUITED QUEST BY FLORENCE FIFER Ethel Murray lingered over the last drops of her morning cup of coffee as she perused the Los Angeles Times. Suddenly her eye was caught by the headline: INDIANS OF MOVIE TELL STORIES-ONE CLAIMS WHITE PARENTAGE Her association with the Indian country during her childhood prompted her to read further into the article: During the showing of the 'Covered Wagon' in this city some of the Indians in the cast appeared on the stage and told their several stories. One in particular roused a great deal of interest. He was a young Indian with a rather light complexion in comparison with the others. He said that he had lived as an Indian as long as he could remember and that he naturally considered himself as such. One eve- ning around the camp Hre an old chief had told him that when he was a small boy the Utes had kidnaped him frorn his white parents. Later on the Utes had warred with other tribes and he had been taken prisoner. V At that time the Crow Indians' fhis present tribe, had adopted him. The young Indian went on to say that he had no desire to find his white parents or return to the white race. He had spent so many years with the Indians that he was no longer a white man at heart. The paper dropped from her hands and Ethel's thoughts flashed back across the years to the fall of I8-. It was the summer of her thirteenth year and through all the intervening time, it remained carved upon her memory as clearly as a silhouette is out- lined against the moonlight. That fall had become almost a legend to her: During the time of Ethel's childhood it was the custom for several neighboring fam- ilies to go into the Wliite River country of western Colorado to get their winter supply of deer meat. These expeditions were turned into general vacations and lasted about three weeks. The year of l8- had been a busy time for every one and all looked forward to the hunting trip with eagerness. At the first sniff of fall in the air everyone began to make ready for the fun. The morning for departure arrived and every where there was bustle and excitement. Ethel, from her perch on the gate viewed it all and thrilled with anticipation. Jack and Bill, her two older brothers, helped their father load up the wagon and her mother could be seen darting about the porch with cooking implements and dishes. Ethel, come 'here and stop that day dreaming, called her mother as she shifted a stack of equipment. Ethel jumped clown and started for the house, but was stopped by their neighbor, Mrs. Bennett. Would you do me a favor? Dear little Dean is hindering me and I wondered if you would watch himf' I'd love to.', And from then on Ethel and the little boy were inseparable. Dean was four and a clear little fellow. Ethel entertained him all the way to the camping ground. And it was some job, too, for riding a hundred miles on a rough mountain road and in a spring wagon was rather hard on such a lively child. One day on the way she happened to hear her father and Mr. Bennett discussing Indians. Ethel loved stories about Indians, though they always frightened her terribly. I hear the Utes are on the warpath again. Where abouts? Down near Meeker. My wife is a bit uneasy but I told her there wasn't the slightest danger to us. No, there isn't any danger. Mr. Bennett looked toward the south. It's over fifty miles down there and no trail within another fifty. Ethel trembled and hugged Dean closely. Indiansl she thought, and within fifty miles of us. However, she soon forgot about her fear in the good times that fol- lowed. When they reached camp each family set up its own tent and then a big com- Inunity tent was put up for the provisions. One afternoon toward the end of their stay in the mountains the women were sitting near the tents sewing and talking over the men's success. 155 LLQQ AEGIS :aG2v -5. ff The hunting has been luckier this year than ever before. Yes, I'm so glad because this will be our last year in this part of the country. Mrs. Bennett sighed at the thought of parting with such dear friends. What do you mean? Are you going to move away? Mrs. James turned to her with great excitement. Yes, Arthur has a chance to get hold of a good ranch in California and he be- lieves it's an opportunity not to be wasted. At this point Dean came wandering into the group. Mama, gimme a cookie! Alright, dear, you'll find them in the 'chuck tent.' They are way at the back in a tin can. Dean trotted off to appease the promptings of his sweet tooth and disappeared into into the tent. Mrs. Murray turned to Mrs. Bennett, This is the first I had heard of it. We did not find it out definitely until just before we left. Arthur did not want to say anything about it 'till he was sure. The women all expressed their sorrow at the leaving of the Bennetts but agreed it was an opportunity not to be turned down. Later they prepared supper and everyone trooped in and took a place at the improvised camp table. Where's Dean? Mrs. Bennett turned to Ethel. Why, I thought he was with you, Mrs. Bennett. Didn't he come up to the camp about the middle of the afternoon?,' Yes, and he got a cookie but I thought he went back and joined you children. I'll go and hunt him up. Ethel dashed off. She looked in all the tents, down by the stream, and even went along the path that lead on up the mountain and called his name, but there was no answer. Then a little scare shot through her heart and another. Try as she would, cold fear gripped her. I-low could she go back without him? Where -oh where-was he! Tears were close to the surface but she kept them back and rushed back to camp clinging to a forlorn hope that he had come while she was gone. But No! Every one was seated at the table and his place was vacant. Now the affair took on a serious light. Where could he have gone? Maybe not far, but he should have been back for supper. The men appeared hopeful for Mrs. Bennett's sake. Oh! we'll Hnd him. I-le has just wandered off. Probably didn't want supper. We'll go, and get him before night closes in. Keep the rest of the supper hot for us. But despite this fine talk there was a bit of uneasiness and fear tucked away in their hearts though they would not admit it even to themselves. I-Iow well they knew the dangers of those woods infested with mountain lions, bear and other wild animals. They went off post haste, leaving a rather nervous and excited group of women and children. Mrs. Bennett fought off that gripping fear and bore up as bravely as she could. I-Ier life in the wild Colorado mountains had schooled her to such shocks. The minutes leaped into half hours and the half hours dragged into hours until it was too dark to continue the search longer. The men came back tired and despondent. To sleep seemed a waste of precious time but nothing could be done until daylight. All night long Mr. Bennett paced back and forth before his tent. I've got to be on the move, he said in response to their entreaties that he lie down and rest. I can't sleep and to lie still and think drives me crazy. In the early dawn the women served a hot breakfast to the men. Two boys imme- diately set off for town to get blood hounds and more men for the search. I-Ie couldn't have possibly crossed that stream so we might as well start up the mountain. That's the best thing to do I suppose but let's get into action. I can't stay here any longer. Ethel overheard this conversation between her father and Mr. Bennett. So for the next forty-eight hours until the bloodhounds and men arrived, the campers combed the mountain side. Soon the whole town arrived on the scene, the women to help prepare the food and the men to relieve those who were now exhausted. 156 .rwe sg, Ascgispdfaisfi There's no need of going up the mountain again. We've gone over every inch. Mr. Bennett looked haggard as he shifted his eyes about nervously. uldetis cross the stream. There might be a chance that he got onto the other side. So the searchers crossed the stream. Immediately the dogs picked up a scent and Mr. Bennett discovered a small footprint in the dust. A track! a track! was the shout that went up from the men. They started off and followed the bloodhounds and the little footsteps in the dust, for four whole miles. Then the little tracks were wiped out by many prints of unshod horses hoofs and the bloodhounds ran around wildly with their heads in air. The scent was gone. Again they took the dogs back to the start in hopes that they could Hnd the scent, and again at the end of the four miles, they ran around with noses in air. The next day preparations were made to follow the Indians because all felt certain that Dean had wandered into a band of roving Indian horsemen and had been carried off by them. Lookin Ethel3sf father pointed to a darkscloud hanging just above the next ridge. That means snow and we had better get a move on. Already the air was getting chilly and a sharp wind whipped down the mountain side. Much against his Will, Mr. Bennett was persuaded to return to town and not risk his life in a mountain blizzard. As long as he's a boy the Indians will adopt him into their tribe. Even if you did try to follow them, the chances are against you because of warring tribes. Thus lVlr. James and Ethells father persuaded him to return. It was lucky that they started when they did, for even so the snow caught them and impeded their progress before they reached town. That winter was frightfully long and desolate. Inaction weighed heavily on all. It seemed as if it would never end, as if the spring would never come. A cloud hung over the whole settlement even down to the children. All celebrations lacked their usual pep. Everyone lost interest in the little social functions that the town, as a usual thing welcomed. When at last the spring came the Bennetts delayed their journey to California so that a last search could be made and so that they could feel that every effort had been made. As soon as the spring snows left the mountains enough so that horses could get through they went back to the old camp. Across the creek in the path here and there were his little prints protected by the snows. They then searched along the trail in the hope of finding some part of his clothing, but none was found. This helped to strengthen their belief in the fact that he had been carried off by the Indians and not by an eagle or a wild animal. With heavy hearts they gave up the search and the Bennetts moved to California in the early summer. This was the story that rose in Ethel Murray's mind as she sat dreaming. Could it be Dean? She trembled with excitement as she went to the phone and put in a long distance call for-Movie Studios. They ought to know where I can get in touch with that young Indian. Oh! why don't they call back. Her thoughts jumped from one thing to another as she paced back and forth across the room while waiting for the call. At last it came. She rushed to the phone. She was connected with the studio. Hello, could you tell me from what reservation the Indian who claimed white par- entage came? He played in the 'Covered Wagon' and his story was printed in the 'Times'? Just a moment came the voice over the wire. Ethel trembled with anticipation. To find Dean! It would be marvelous. Hello, I'm awfully sorry, but no record of his whereabouts has been left. Thank you, gasped Ethel. Her disappointment was keen, but she still clung to the hope of locating him. She first wrote to every reservation and then visited most of them personally with no success. This Indian-white-man seemed to have dropped from existence. So ended the Unrequited Quest. 157 '1929 QE tAsc.rs A02-'FX' GENES RELATIVES BY WAI.TE.R INMAN Well, what are we going to do to-day, Eddie? asked Eugene Eaton as he tripped over the ragged carpet and stumbled toward the wash-stand. I wish these confounded people here would take these rags off of the Hoorf, - Why, Gene, responded Edwin Rogers. The landlady said that her grand- mother got that carpet the year Queen Victoria was crowned. It's a traditional heirloom of the family. You wouldn't expect them to discard that, surely. That isn't done, in England. Well, if I was running a rooming house, I wouldn't put my family heirlooms on the third floor in a back room. I don't think you have any kick coming. You're the one who thought up this idea of touring Europe on three hundred dollars. Next time I come to London lim going to stay at the Savoy instead of at Number I0 Mecklenburgh Street. I asked you where we were going, to-day. Why donlt you suggest some place? demanded Eaton as he struggled in a masterly effort to bathe in his allotted pint of cold water. Look at the list and see what we haven't seen. Rogers dropped Eaton's sock with which he had been shining his shoes and removed a notebook from his pocket. Well, let's see, said he. I'll begin at the beginning: Westminster Abbey, St. Paul's, The Tower, The British Museum, Hampton Court, Windsor Castle, Kew Gardens. Wait a minute. We haven't seen them. How do you get there?,' Rogers picked up a volume of Baedeker and read: 'District Railway from Inner Circle stations. Trains every half hour to Kew Gardens Station. Open ten to six, week-daysg one to six, Sundaysf We'll go out there Sundayf' l've got it, interrupted Eaton. l..et's go out to Stratford-on-Avon. I-low do we go? After turning a few pages of his Baedeker, Rogers replied: H 'Great Western Railway from Paddington Station. Trains at frequent intervals' Hurry up andget dressed. lt's eight o'clock, now. , Rogers read Baedekefs account of Stratford and walked to the window, where he surveyed everything in his view. He looked down on the back yard which was nothing more than a plot of ground about twenty feet square, surrounded by a brick wall perhaps six feet high. Save for a sickly looking rose bush and a solitary emaciated cat, there was no sign of life. I-Ie was looking at the multi-tile chimneys of the adjacent houses when Eaton announced that he had completed the process of dressing and was ready to depart. After stumbling over a few more holes in the carpet and descending the creaking stairs, the two friends emerged from the old brick house and proceeded toward the nearest Underground,' station. Before long they found themselves on a swiftly moving train, carrying them rapidly away from London. Rogers suddenly noticed something unusual about his friend's appearance and spoke: What are you all dressed up for, Gene? You look like you were going to see a girlf, Well, I may, responded Eaton. You see, my grandfather came from Wanwfiek- shire about sixty years ago. Dad says there are some Eatons living around Stratford, now. I-le says that he's heard that some of the girls are pretty, so I thought I'd look them up and get acquainted with them. , Rogers smiled and replied: All right. But be careful. You've got enough girls in love with you in Illinois. Gene and Eddie had seen most of the sights of the village when late aftemoon found them at the Stratford Grammar School, which Shakespeare is said to have attended. After showing them the building, the custodian inquired, How do you like England? Pretty well, answered Rogers. But l can't see anything great about this so-called English humor. 158 i'55Qcg'Q'.2s Anais 'Vip' Oh! But you will when you get used to it, replied the custodian. Let me ask you one. What has legs like a cat, a tail like a cat, and teeth like a cat, but chirps like a sparrow? We give upf' chorused the Americans. A tiger, responded the custodian as he burst into laughter. But you don't mean to tell us that you ever heard a tiger chirp like a sparrowf' said Rogers. Oh, no, of course not, answered the custodian. I just put that in to make it harder for you to guess. America must be a queer place if you don't appreciate good conundrums like that. A fellow I used to know went there about ten years ago. His name was Barton, Sam Barton. Know him? I don't believe so. Where does he live? asked Eaton. Vermont, I think. Is that near where, you chaps are fromrif' Wm , W Prettyiiear, replied Rogers. Just about thirteen hundred miles from Illinois. Thirteen hundred miles! You don't say! Yes, just about. By the way, mister. Do you know any Eatons living around here? asked Eugene. Yes, Will Eaton lives up the street, here. Third house from the corner. One with the apple on the knocker. Can't miss it. Thanks, Let's go, Eddie. The friends walked briskly toward the designated house, where Eaton pulled the knocker. l-le adjusted his tie and spoke cheerfully, 'Tm guessing a beautiful blonde will come to the door, Eddie. His cheerful anticipation did not last long, however, for the door was soon opened and he beheld a huge red-haired, red-faced woman with a hooked nose. What's wanted? she asked. Ah, er-r-r-r, where's the Great Western Station? queried Eaton as he looked severely at his smiling companion. Ten minutes walk, turn left at the next turn, came from the personage on the threshold as the door was closed with an unusual display of force. So this is the kind of relatives you have. This is your idea of a beautiful woman. Why didn't you introduce yourself? taunted Rogers as they walked away. You shut up, growled his disgruntled companion. It was raining hard at seven o'clock in the morning when Eugene awoke from slumber which had involved dreams of many beautiful girls who became huge and hideous when he approached them. Perceiving the unpleasantness of the weather he turned over and within Hve minutes was sleeping soundly. At fifteen minutes past seven, Edwin awoke, beheld the sun shining into the room, heard the family cat crying to be let in, noticed that his friend was sleeping soundly, and crept noiselessly to the wash-stand, where he appro- priated the entire quart of water to his own use. After dressing, he kicked his companion twice, finally roused him, and announced that he would spend the day at the British Museum, and departed. About eleven o'clock that morning, a young man of about twenty and a young lady wearing a hat decorated by a bright blue plume were seen in a room of the British Museum. Upon closer inspection one might discover that the man was an American because the hat which he carried in his hand bore the name of a prominent Chicago mail-order house. Upon still closer inspection he might ascertain that the wearer of the hat with the blue plume was an attractive young lady with blue eyes and golden hair. Don't you think it seems bad that we had to bring these things to London, instead of leaving them in Greece? queried the lady. I think the poor people there should be allowed to keep their own historic treasures. Don't you? Perhaps so, answered the man. But a lot of us poor fellows would never see these things if they weren't moved. Now, l've seen the statues and mummies of the Pharaohs, relics of the Romans, and the frieze of the Parthenon, all. here this morning. If I care to, I can get on a bus and go to the Cheshire Cheese, Westminster Abbey, 19-29 QQ7Q3'S:i92far:c 1 so ffrffe' G Hyde Park, Milton's home, or any of a number of other places with literary or historic associations. It's much more convenient for me. 'lihat's the way with you Americans, answered his fair companion. Always thinking of yourselves. Are you enjoying England?', Yes. Very much. I like the English people much more than the French. I'm glad you do. Have you been to Stratford? I live there. I We were out there yesterday. I'm travelling with a friend who is greatly interested in Shakespeare. We're Juniors at Parker College in Illinois. My name is Rogers, Edwin Rogersf' 'Tm Margaret Eaton. I live near the Stratford Grammar Schoolf' ' Eaton! This is rich, exclaimed Rogers as he roared with laughter. What's so funny?', My friend,s name's Eaton. I-le's a relative of yours. We went to see you yester- day but I guess you weren't at homef' You must come again. I-low long will you be in England? We sail from Liverpool on the iBaltic' next Saturday. L'Can't you stop a few days on your way to Liverpool? I think so. Let's discover a place for lunch. When they arrived in Stratford the following Friday afternoon, our two American friends were met at the train by Miss Eaton. 'Tm so glad you could come, said she. So are we, Miss Eaton, allow me to present my friend, Mr. Eugene Eaton, of Lansing, Illinois, U.S.A. They chatted pleasantly until they arrived at the door with the apple on the knocker, where they were met by the lady whom they saw on their former visit to the house. Aunt Emily, said Miss Eaton, here are Mr. Rogers and Mr. Eaton from America. I believe I have seen you gentlemen before. Have I not?,' Ah, er-r-r-r, yes, replied Eaton. We got lost and stopped here to enquire the way to the Great Western Station. Mighty sorry to have troubled you. Oh! You didn't trouble me much. Let's go out into the garden for tea, interposed Miss Eaton. Father is waiting for usf' Eugene and Edwin soon found themselves engaged in enjoyable conversation with Miss Eaton, Aunt Emily, and Mr. Eaton, a jovial Englishman. After learning that the two Americans neither played whist nor enjoyed conundrums, Aunt Emily said: You Americans are a queer people. I suppose you can't play chess either? Yes, ma'am, I play chess, responded Gene proudly. fI Ie had tried to play twicej Then I'll play with you after tea, answered Aunt Emily. But I don't want to inconvenience you. Not at all. I'll be delighted. Butl No inconvenience, whatever. It's my favorite pastime. So Gene found himself trying to play chess with Aunt Emily while his friend and Miss Eaton were taking a row on the Avon. ' After a pleasant two hours on the river, Rogers and Miss Eaton returned to the garden and seated themselves on a bench under an aged yew tree. I'm awfully sorry you're leaving, to-morrow. I wish you could stay longer, said Miss Eaton. I won't be gone long. I'lI come back again. just to see you. Oh! Edwin! Margaret ! And it was time for everyone else to look the other way. 160 ...rXfmREC.lS FATE Br I-IOMER SHAW On the night of the twenty-fifth of March, last, as I sat in a sandwich chair at 'l'hompson's calmly munching some French doughnuts and once in a while casually gurgling from a steaming cup of Mocha which sat on my right permeating the immediate atmosphere with its pungent aroma, it seemed rather strange and yet not too startling to see a shimmering Hash of a blue car, to hear the piercing panther cry of the siren, and to feel the pulsations of the vibrant exhausts of motocycles as they sped rapidly down North Main Street in the direction of Normal. There remained little doubt in my mind that something very outstanding was happening just one hundred seconds north, for unques- tionably ,Bloomingtoifs police wereon their way with splitiecond speedf.-.Out I dashed and with a great grinding of gears and a racing engine I swung around the Washington Street stop-sign and against the Main street signal. With at least twenty pounds pressure on the accelerator the car shot forward and Jefferson street sped by at fifty miles per hour in a southern direction. Gosh Joe, that's a sweet haul. Four an' half grand an, not five minutes. Those fool police are at Normal by now. That's great. A false call an' the whole force beat it. Gosh you can't beat brains an' padded bricks, fly-paper an, ready fingers. Tough combination? No. How do you get it? I've been in this safe business too long. Waded right through it. Say, come on. Snap out o' it. Ya don't seem to know we ain't got all night to load this swag an' get clear. Them cops 'll be comin' back pronto an' it's us to shake. Grab the bag an, come on. Jim! Jim! Didja hear that moanin'? The watch just wakin' up. That's a relief tho. I might'a hit him too hard. This is the conversation I heard on East Street at two o'clock! The morning was precarious! To have been seen on East Street at that hour might have meant a ride Dim shadows disclosed two men somewhat hastily entering a gray-green sedan, very cautiously glancing to the rear of the yellow building they had just left. All had evidently gone well-the ruse had worked, the safe opened noiselessly, not souped as the usual yegg would have made it, and success lay just a few miles distant in the open stretches of silver road. But one thing remained upon which they had not reckoned and that was F ate blazing in crimson capitals and Fate drove down the North Main Street in an azure roadster at approximately sixty miles per hour. The gray-green sedan rolled silently north gathering speed with the passing seconds and with a dangerous swerve rounded the corner at an exorbitant speed. One block west was necessary and corners meant wasted moments-precious moments. Main street was in view and with no regard for state advertising the green sedan swung to the North fast, too fast for complete safety. A car bore down upon them from the South and with a resounding crash the green sedan keeled to the left and lay a smoking and shattered mass obstructing the street car tracks on Main Street. The blue roadster which had been a party in the accident was occupied by a lone figure and that figure was I. Already emerging from the wreck was one man--an arm hanging dimly from his left shoulder but in his right I caught the cold gleam of something black, and cold, and hard. I-Ie addressed me: What the hell do you think you're doin' tearin' down Main Street at such a gait while me and me pal here get wrecked and you unharmed. Get out. I glanced at his wrist and with no more verbal persuasion I alighted and ran to the batter heap which had so recently been an automobile. At the wheel was a limp form and with the help of the man with the gat I removed him and carried him to my car. Catling broke into song: 161 1s29tera1w.us.ts':s.me ' You yellow-livered musher. Just as we was to escape, you wreck us and maybe kill my pal and he was white-damn white. See this door to hell I've got in my hand? I could blow you out-snuff you out just like you did Jim. But where would I be? I-lere on Main Street in my coat tails? You got us into this and you'll get us out. Pick up Jim and put him in the seat on the Outside, I'll sit next to you. Me leave Jim-me leave him because he's cold? Not me. I-le wouldn't of shook me and I'm not yellow-no by gosh l I glanced at the dash and immediately turned out the light for I had seen something which made my blood tingle--not much gas. Perhaps I could effect a capture. Gatling again breathed: Get goin' and don't stop until you see daylight. We got swag inthis car-four 'n half grand of it and the bull's dOn't get it as long as I c'n see and shoot 'n' crawl. North on Main we sped and southward Hew the scenery. My eyes were dead-it was all a dream. Such incidents were only for stories, but yet there he was at my side speaking inaudibly to his inarticulate companion. A sharp poke in the ribs brought me to my senses and on we sped. Ah-I heard a sound-a welcome sound-the stacatto put-put of motorcycles coming west on the street according to my calculations. Frantically my mind worked and I timed our approach in order to meet them as they drove onto the Main street. We rushedby at lightning speed and immediately the cops gave chase. I knew it would only be a question of time but I could only feel sorry for the luckless man in the seat beside me. It's the bulls-the bulls. Don't stop. We'll get caught probably but not until I get you. - And as he raised his gun to fire I frantically lurched the car to the side and we ended up in the ditch-overturned. The police arrived and I lost consciousness-safe. It seems to be F ate. HONORABLE MENTION IN MERWIN CUP CONTEST 1929 E z f 163 A E C. IBS 590' ll l I B. l-ll. S.

PORTIA ALEXANDER, ' l 2 For the last three years, an important feature of B. H. S. Homecoming festivities has been the Alumni Banquet. On October 5, 1928, dinner was served in the B. H. S. Cafeteria to I64 Alumni and friends by the Parent Teachers Association. An interesting program followed the dinner with Mr. Charles Kirkpatrick as toastmaster. Professor E. l.. Boyer, a former Principal. who spoke during the evening was a special guest. Short talks were given by Principal W. A. Goodier, and Messrs. Joe Glass, '28, George Means, '25, Chester Williams, '03, Ned Dolan, 04, and Mrs. Reeves of '75. Music was furnished by Harold Ensinger, Nathan Rosenbluth, Pauline Egan, and Gretchen Smoot.

E. Williams, long a member o Board of Edu- cation, and Edward Janick, who, until a few weeks before his deat serxkd his school in the field of athletics. A dance followed the banquet.

Gratefully he absorbed the atmospheric ele- ments of a clear Spring morning as he wafted rhythmically along. Suddenly he was ac- costed by a belligerent Gas, who sneeringly said: Who was that lady I saw you with last night? The poor little molecule drew back hisipuny paw and biffed the big uncouth Gas right square on its nasal appendage. There, he said, driving home his point, I guess that'll teach you to keep your nose out of other people's business. SOMETHING FOR EDISON TO THINK ABOUT l.

This has been called the machine age, the electric age, the age of Power. Machines write our letters, cook our food, mine our coal, pump our water, sweep our houses, carry us about the streets, Warm us in winter, cool us in summer. Loaves of 'bread come to us Without the touch of human hands-machines mix the dough, cut the loaves, carry them through the ovens, wrap them. This IS the machine age. And yet there never was so great a need for keen and alert minds, for trained and educated minds. For this power, these machines, must he directed, controlled and developed.

She fell lightly into his arms. Thank heaven! he breathed prayerfully. Never had he felt a more imperative urge to action. He would save her. No ten thousand yelling fiends this side of Afghanistan could stop him. Deserts, mountains, rivers, forests- all might rise up to confront him with unutterable mockery, but he would save her. He knew he would. Bounding lithely over the rough ground he wended his perilous way cautiously to- ward his destination. Dusk seemed to fall in an impenetrable blanket all about him. From out the mystic darkness he could hear strange moanings, and groanings, and mut- tered imprecations. But no, he would not stop. Nothing could stop him now. With little Nell safe in his arms, he could bravely face the manifold perils of a veritable Dante's lnfemo. On and on he went. A grotesque shape loomed high and menacing in front of him, and with obvious determination questioned his path. The cowboy's arm shot out- wham! Another redskin smote the dust, ingloriously indisposed for the evening. Another, and yet another, he accounted for in the same invincible manner. Let 'em come-they would fall! And so they did. They came and fell, a goodly number of them. Beneath his strong arm, beneath his barking revolvers, and some slunk away at the mere threat of his omnipotent figure slouching warily on its way. His goal loomed close at hand. Could he make it? Of course. He hurtled a seemingly disheartened remnant of his opposition and with a thankful sigh, placed his burden safely at his destination. Over four thousand ecstatic screams rent the air-hats reeled dizzily above unknowning heads--loud cheers-beat of drums-whoopee-four thousand Worshipful voices raised in a rythmic chant: Yea-Cowboy: yea-Lemme!

Well, sez I to myself, I guess it's just about time somebody exposed tha hole mis 'ble bizness. Fact is, frends, them guys didn't discover a blamed thing. THERE AIN'T NO NORTH POLE, and I'm right here to pruve it. I gOt the deaup QFr.j strate from Oscar Plunkett and Cuthelbert Hopkins, and they oughta kno, for they made a speshul trip in tha general drecshun of tha North poLE last summer, and i guess they kneau as much about it as anywun. I've knowed Oscar and Cuthel- bert fer quite a spell an' I dont figger they'd ly about it. Know all about 'em. Oscar 's got a. canine Qdoggj which he calls Flapper Kon account of it's allus hungryj. Flapper,s got awful short leggs-they hardly reech the grownd. Howsoever, Oscar invented a sorta new-fangled contraption that run on land, water, air and ice and wuz a sure cure fer dandrui and fallen arches. Hel kristened it tha Hinkey- dinkerokuspokus, prob 'ley cause he cudn't think of nothin else on the spur of the moment. Before long, tho, tha boys got to callin' it the Hinkeydink, prob 'ley cause no wun knoo tha diff'rence anyway. Well, sir, when Oscar and Cuthie Cfolks allus called him thatj left town, the hull dern popularization wuz thar tuh see 'em of QOHJ. And their wuz a band, too, Cnot tha rubber varietyb, and it wuz playin' pretty near everything from the Arkansas: Hencacklen to tha Saint Lewis Bloos. Yes, sirree, it wuz purty racketty fer a spell, I c'n tell you. But the boys didn't seem tuh mind a bit, and soon they floo rite away in tha direction of the NoRth poLE. In a. coupla weeks they found theirselves purty nigh to tha spot where they'd heerd tell they'd find tha North Pole. All they cud see fer blocks wuz snow and ice-bergs Qno Ginsbergsj and strainge tropical plants, the likes of which they had never seen in Bloomington. ' ' I 'low it must be purty cold, sed Oscar, sorta sorrowful. I 'low you must be about rite, sed Cuthelbert, kinda sad-like. ' 'I reckon we better set up a radio, sed they in unisun. So they did. But all they got was Chile and a bad cold, so they soon give it up. The rest of there famus jerney wuz mor or less uneventful. In a word, nothin' much came to pass, except morning and sunset, and they wuz always in a big hurry and didn't have no time to tawk to tha boys. The only time they had any reel trouble, however, wuz the mornin' they broke camp and had to spend two days repairing it. Finally our heros cum to a big sign stickin' up sorta impressive in the snow beside a gas station. On readin' it they discovered the words: NORTH POWL-6 BLOCKS NORTH, 4 BLOCKS EAST, AROUND THE CORNER, BEHIND A DRUG STORE AND ACROSS THA STREET FRUM THA FIRST POLICEMAN YOU SEE. That message cheered the brave young explorers quite a bit, and they kept right on agoin'. It wuznt no time till they had begun to see splinters, shavin's, and chips lieing around in profusion Qlots of 'emj, which assured tha feerless adventurers that the pole couldn 't be very fur away. Finally they cum upon it. There it wuz, a crooked wooden stick, about 2175 feat 'and 1314 inches in height, painted with red stripes like a barber's pole, and stickin' right up outa tha snow. They wuz mighty glad, I can tell you. But imagine their discomfiture Qmeens K ' peeved j when they saw a sine on it which red: NOTICE: THIS IS NOT THA NORTH PoLe. OWIN' TO THA HIGH PRICE OF LUMBER IN RESENT YEERS, THE Pole COMmis- IONERS HAV MOVED THE SOUTH POLE TO THA NORTH POLE WHERE IT SUP- PLIES BOTH NEEDS. Well, my friends, I guess you already kno how tha brave boys felt when they red that. Here they'd gone and suffered and endured, and endured and suifered no end, and all to kno avail. It wuz quite a blo, but did they winse? I shud say not! They jist hung their college crushes on the South Pole, and set right down and began tu play rummy. Purty soon a news- paper reporter cum along and he sez: Well, what luck did yew boys hav? Cud i hav a pitchur fer tha mornin' Pantaleoni Oscar and Cuthelbert looked tha man over cairfullee. Sed Cuthelbert: I'll bet he eats crackers in bed! Sed Oscar: I'll bet he scairs littul ehildrun! With that our intrepud heeroes thoughtfully picked up tha reporter by tha northeast cor- ner of his left ear and hung him on tha southwest side of tha South Pole. Then they hung a sign on him which sed, N ot fer Sail, and clapped their hands and chuckled delightedly as they sed to eech uther: Four out of five hav it! CThe end.

' Lumber, Coal and Building Material LET US HELP YOU PLAN YOUR HOME PLANS AND ESTIMATES CHEERFULLY GIVEN Phone 5504 One night the other day, about a week ago last month, Mr. Goodier was told by one of the janitors that he, the janitor, was being disturbed in his daily snooze by a noise in the girls gym. Mr. Goodier said he would give prompt attention to this serious matter. He called Miss Kendall to him and told her to go down in the gym and investigate. After Miss Kendall was gone for half an hour, Mr. Goodier became worried. Seeing Mrs. Rexroat coming in the oflice, he asked her to go down and investigate. Mr. Goodier while waiting for Mrs. Rexroat to return, amused himself by reading the excuses from that day. Finally after another half hour had-elapsed, he set out to investigate the matter himself. Upon arriving at the gym door he found to his amazement that it was locked. Inside he could hear voices. Putting his ear to the keyhole he heard the following words: Apples, peaches, pumpkin pie,' how many years before I die? Mr. Goodier was very much alarmed and immediately opened the door and what do you imagine he saw? There in the middle of the floor Miss Oldaker, Miss Rose and Miss Donahue were jumping rope and Miss Kendall and Mrs. Rexroat were patiently counting the years as they rolled by as Miss Oldaker was jumping. Mr. Goodier was so upset, he went down to the interurban station and caught the first car to the equator. There he fished for the Big Eared Lalla Paluka F ish, that in- fest the haunts of the Hudson Bay.

ANSWERS: Kayo Berquist: Elinor Glynn, of course. Don't be silly. l-le wrote several other good books, toog let's see, there's 'David Copperfieldf 'The Sheikf 'Riders of the Purple Sagef and 'Only a Working Girlf I-le was a great writer, Elinor Glynn was. Always liked him. So natural, so real, and yet so fascinating. In my opinion, it's a good thing Shakespeare died when he didg he'd certainly feel inefhcient around this Glynn person. Whadaythinkaboutit? ' ' Ed Postlethwait: I suppose Zane Grey wrote it. He writes all them red-blooded he man-stories, doesn't he? Or maybe it was Charles Dickens or Alexander the Great Scott! I got so many o' those blokes revolving around inside my head that I can't assort them all. Anyhow, I will go this far---someone wrote it! I know that much. Boyd Jackson: Lay off, big boy! What does your mother call you? I ain't no blamed ency-encyclo-well, I ain't a dictionary, that's all. It mighta been Lillian Gish or Lon Chaney, as far as I know. You can quote this: I didn't write it! Our Embarrassing Reporter: It seems you're all wrong. 'Uncle Thomas's Home- stead' was written by Pinkerton Percival Pinkney, who was also author of 'The Private Life of the Fur-Bearing Flea,' 'All for l..ove,' 'The Way of a Louse,' and 'Oliver Opticf Gooclnite, folks!

MODERNISM One day we caught Gene Davison dabbing idly at a blank canvas with a dry paint brush. We are very much interested in Gene, but we couldn't see how he intended to paint without paint. After watching him caress the blank space for a while, we asked: What are you painting, Gene? This is a picture of the Israelites crossing the Red Sea. Where is the Red Sea? It's rolled aside to let the Israelites pass by. Where are the Israelites? They've already gone by. Well, then, we said, almost impatiently, where arethe Egyptians? Oh, they'll be along in a minute! Yes, indeed, Gene is a most amazing young chap. The Humorous Editors' humane suggestion that this department be printed on per- forated sheets went unsupported. Now you'll have 'to keep the stuff whether you want it or not. John Klopp, we see, has kept his promise. Early in the year, when Aegis sub- scriptions were lowest, john popped right up out of a clear sky and said: As an added attraction, there will be a goodly part of our annual reserved for advertisements. Thank heavens! We were so worried.

PHONE 1766 THE, RISE OF WILLIE SNE.EZER Perhaps you have heard of the heroic efforts of little WILLIE SNEEZER, who set out in the world at the smallish age of 13M to seek a position in the government. He was determined to get the job of MAYOR OF BLOOMINGTON or bust, so he immediately sent salutations to the officers of our dear old government that it wouldn't be long till they would see a MAN who could really enforce the law and hang all bootleggers and burglars who were constantly tearing up the town and disturbing the sleep of the policemen. When WILLIE entered the gates of the Evergreen City he was confronted at the corner of Morris and Folsom streets by a big, bad, bold man who was insistent that Willie should stick 'em up or he would be shaking hands with a pair of stumps. Willie, un- daunted by the constant urges to stick 'em up, walked up to the big, bad, bold man and looked him straight in the eyes. OUR hero, after giving the yegg the twice over, slapped his wrist, pulled his ears and took the gun away from him and threw it over his left shoulder blade where it landed in the lake at Miller Park, where the monkeys know as much as their keepers do about the price of sauerkraut in I-Ionolulu and the cure for KLEPTOMANIA. Willie set to the business of giving the assassin a good old fashioned nbawling out and in less than ZW minutes he had the criminal on the verge of crying out and con- fessing to all his sins he had committed. Our he-man decided to set the big, bad, bold man free instead of spanking him and sending him to bed. Willie finally reached the edifice on the corner of Monroe and East, which is the daily meeting place of all bums, hoboes and the remnants that survived the burning of Rome. After dictating his brave deeds and heroic efforts to stop all gun-running and with the promise to install new GABBOONS in the 5 and I0 cent stores, the city officials finally made up their minds and he got the job-OF DOG CATCI-IER. 252 AW 1 9 29Ea'.e.1t m l Asc 1 s 1 r7I95A NORRIS CON FECTIONERY Up-to-Date Confectionery DELICIOUS ICE CREAM CANDY ana' LIGHT LUNCH CORNER MAIN and FRONT STREET PHONE 741-L BRUCE HART, Treas. --Y HERMAN C.
