I DID NOT KNOW WHERE TO START, BUT AT LENGTH, I DECIDED TO CONSULT MadAME ZOWKOUWAKl, WHO HAD GAINED RENOWN AS A FORTUNE TELLER, The NEXT DAY, I WENT TO SEE HER AND WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GAIN ADMITTANCE WITHOUT DIFFICULTY, THE ROOM TO WHICH I WAS CONDUCTED WAS DARK AND I COULD SCARCELY SEE AS SHE ENTERED, SHE TURNED ON A SMALL LAMP AND SEATED HERSELF ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE TABLE. AS SHE LOOKED UP, I MET HER GAZE AND IMMEDIATELY RECOGNIZED HER AS HELEN PULLEN. I TOLD HER WHO I WAS AND WE BOTH FORGOT FORTUNE TELLING, WE HAD A LONG TALK, BUT BEFORE I WENT, SHE CONSULTED THE SPIRITS AND TOLD ME I COULD FIND SOME OLD FRIENDS IN HOLLYWOOD. SINCE I WAS ENTITLED TO A VACATION, I BEGAN TO MAKE PLANS FOR MY TOUR AT ONCE, The next day I took a train to Hollywood ano arrived one week later. While I was strolling around, I noticed a handsome man coming down the street. When we met, I recognized him as Edwin Hasselbacher, I introduced myself at once and was cordially invited to his home, which was a beautiful cottage. On entering his home, m was greatly surprised to find that his wife was the former Jean knicht. We had a fine time talking aeout old times. Before I left, Jean let me use their car to drive about the city. It was, indeed, a treat. I STOPPED AT a LARGE STATION TO PURCHASE GAS AND OIL. AS THE MANAGER STEPPED FROM HIS OFFICE, HE INTRODUCED HIMSELF AS CHARLES CARSON, HE COULDN1T TALK TO ME LONG THEN, BUT HE ASKED ME TO ACCOMPANY HIM TO A BASKETBALL GAME WHICH WAS TO BE HELD THAT EVENING BETWEEN BRADLEY AND CALIFORNIA. I AT ONCE AGREED; AND THAT NIGHT HE CALLED FOR ME. WE OBTAINED SEATS JUST BACK OF THE Bradley Players bench. The game was very close, but California finally won, AFTER THE GAME, I DISCOVERED THAT THE CALIFORNIA COACH WAS WILBUR TULLY, A FORMER STAR OF BRIMF I ELD HIGH SCHOOL. WE MADE OURSELVES KNOWN TO WILBUR AND WERE SOON ON OUR WAY TO HIS HOME FOR A FRIENDLY VISIT. Early next day, I went to San Francisco, where I decided to attend a movie. In a stage show being held there, I noticed a beautiful girl by the name of Bette Doubey. I inquired about her later and found that she was the same girl as Bette Ooubet who had been a classmate of mine. She took me back stage and we talked about the old home town and good times we had had once. The following day, I continued my journey. I stopped at Reno, the BIGGEST LITTLE city IN THE WORLD. I STOPPED AT A LARGE RESTAURANT FOR LUNCH. AS I WAS PAYING THE CASHIER, WHO SHOULD RUSH BY ME BUT MARNA DEANE KlDDO, A PROMfSING YOUNG LAWYER. SHE WAS QUITE BUSY WITH DIVORCE CASES. I WANTED TO VISIT WITH HER, BUT SHE WAS ON HER WAY TO A TRIAL, SO WE PARTED. I DID NOT TARRY LONG IN RENO, BUT STARTED FOR DENVER, COLORADO. While stopping over night in Denver, 1 attended a lecture Whcn I entered THE THEATER in WHICH IT WAS TO HELD, AN USHER SHOWED ME TO MY SEAT I RECOGNIZED HIM AS JIM SCOTT, AFTER A BRIEF TALK WITH HIM, WE AGREED TO DINE TOGETHER AFTER THE LECTURE Then I journeyed to Omaha, Nebraska, There, I went out to the airport TO PURCHASE A TICKET FOR CHICAGO WHILE THERE, A MAIN-LINER LANDED I AT ONCE KNEW THE HOSTESS TO BE MARGERY WEBBER, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, I INTRODUCED MYSELF, AND AFTER A BRIEF VISIT, SHE TOOK ME OVER TO THE PILOT WHO WAS STANDINC BY THE PLANE IT WAS A GREAT SURPRISE TO ME WHEN I MET CURT IS REENTS IN AN HOUR, WE LEFT FOR CHICAGO AND, AFTER AN UNEVENTFUL TRIP, WE LANDED AT THE MUNICIPAL AIR PORT NEAR CHICAGO After leaving these old friends, I made hotel arrangements That evening I DECIDED TO go TO THE ARAGON BALLROOM TO DANCE. SINCE I AM VERY MUCH INTERESTED IN MUSIC, I LISTENED CAREFULLY TO THE ORCHESTRA WHEN THE LEADER STEPPED OUT TO ANNOUNCE HIS PROGRAM, HlS VOICE SOUNDED VERY FAMILIAR I MOVED A BIT CLOSER TO THE ORCHESTRA AND SOON LEARNED THAT IT WAS JOE BLUNDY WHEN HE ANNOUNCED THE VOCALIST, I LEARNED THAT IT WAS NONE OTHER THAN RUTH REED, A FORMER FRIEND AND CLASSMATE AS THE SPOTLIGHT MOVED ABOUT FROM ONE PLAYER TO ANOTHER, I SOON DISCOVERED TO MY AMAZEMENT THAT THE SOLO SAXAPHONE PLAYER WAS OE WYCOFF. I HAD THE WAITER TAKE A NOTE TO JOE DURING THE INTERMISSIONS, HE CAME TO TALK TO ME THROUGH HlS INFLUENCE, THE VOCALIST AND HlS FAVORITE PLAYER AGREED TO MEET ME THE NEXT DAY. NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE HAD A VERY PLEASANT DAY, AND I LEFT PROMISING TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH THEM. Later, I went to the Brookfield zoo where I was attracted by a large GATHERING OF PEOPLE. BY CROWDING IN I WAS ABLE TO SEE A WOMAN PUTTING ON AN ACT WITH FEROCIOUS LIONS AND TIGERS, SHE TURNED TOWARD ME AND I SaW AT ONCE it was Detta Lou Shaffer After her act, I was lucky enough to meet her. Since l had to catch the plane in a short time, we had only a chief visit. On the following day, I was in Cleveland and as I had time on my hands, I WENT FOR A RIDE ON THE LAKE, THE GOAT WAS A LUXURIOUS CRUISER THAT WOULD CARRY FIFTY PEOPLE AS I WAS SITTING ON THE DECK, I WAS SURPRISED WHEN A YOUNG LADY SPOKE TO ME. I SOON REALIZED THAT IT WAS ELVA CAMP. IN A MOMENT HER SISTER MAXINE JOINED US, I LEARNED THAT THEY HAD MARRIED QUITE WEALTHY BROTHERS, AND WERE NOW LEADING A LIFE OF LUXURY, THE BOAT SOON DOCKED AND WE HAD TO PART FOR THEY WERE SCHEDULED AT A PARTY WITHIN AN HOUR, riTTOOUnGH WAS NEXT ON MY JOURNEY. THERE, I BOUGHT A NEWSPAPER AND WHILE GLANCINC THROUGH IT, I NOTICED A CARTOON BY SPECK, I BECAME CURIOUS AND, AFTER MAKING A FEW INQUIRIES, FOUND OUT THAT IT W'S THE SAME MARY LOU THAT HAD GRADUATED IN 1939 WITH ME I SOON ARRANGED TO MEET HER AND AFTER THE USUAL GREETINGS FOUND THAT SHE HAD MADE GOOD AS A CARTOONIST, WE HAD A VERY PLEASANT VISIT DEFORE I TRAVELED ON, The following day, I arrived in New YgRK. ( left my train and looked foii a cab. After locating one, I hurried to it and directed the driver to take TO A HOTEL. WHEN I PAID HIM, 1 DISCOVERED HE WAS BERNARD GERMAN. I INVITED HIM TO MY ROOM AT THE HOTEL. AFTER A SHORT VISIT, HE RETURNED TO HI 6 DUTY. That night, I attended a play on Broadway. I was very much amazed at th£ FINE ACTING OF THE LEADING LADY. LOOKING OVER THE PROGRAM, I FOUND IT TO BE Velma nordwall. I tried to get an interview with her, but was not allowed on THAT EVENING. DURING THE NEXT MORNING, I CALLED AT HER HOTEL AND WAS PERMITTED TO SEE HER. V E HAD A VERY FINE TIME VISITING AND RECALLING OLD TIMES. She told me that she had to ATTEND a certain dancing school, and that if I CARED TO ACCOMPANY HER, I WOULD SEE ANOTHER FRIEND OF MINE. In THE AFTERNOON, I ACCOMPANIED VELMA TO THE DANCING SCHOOL. THERE, WE WERE GREETED BY VERNA FORNEY WHO HAD BEEN INFORMED THAT I WAS IN THE CITY. After the class was over, we went to dinner, where v e enjoyed talkinc about OLD FRIENDS AND THE GOOD TIMES WE HAD ENJOYED IN BRIMF I ELD. I LEARNED THAT Verna was earning an excellent salary, and had been offered an important part in a Russian ballet which was to appear in Madison square Garden. Because Verna and Isabel loury had been close friends in brimfield, I naturally INQUIRED ABOUT ISABEL. VERNA LOOKED AT ME WITH A BLANK EXPRESSION. WITHOUT A WORD, SHE PICKED UP A NEWSPAPER AND HANDED IT TO ME. If.lAQINE TO MY ASTONISHMENT, WHEN I READ FIRST WOMAN PRESIDENT OF UNITED STATES ASSUMES OFFICE TODAY UPON READING THIS ARTICLE, I LEARNED THAT ISABEL WAS THAT WOMAN, AND SHE HAD TAKEN OFFICE UPON THE DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT. VERNA TOLD ME THAT SHE HAD BEEN IN THE ILLINOIS SENATE, THEN WAS APPOINTED TO THE Cabinet, and finally had been promoted to this position. I made up my MIND TO GO TO WASHINGTON, 0. C. TO VISIT THE NEW PRESIDENT, ISABEL LOURY. I WAS ADMITTED TO THE WHITE HOUSE ONLY AFTER HAD CONVINCED THE DOORMAN THAT I WAS A PERSONAL FRIEND OF THE PRESIDENT AND THAT I WAS NOT ATTEMPTING TO ASSASSINATE HER. ISABEL AND I HAD A GOOD VISIT, AND SHE ASSURED ME THAT SHE WOULD GIVE DEAR OLD BRIMFIELD SOME NEW BRIDGES AND A SCHOOL BUILDING OUT OF THE GOVERNMENT FUNDS. Delighted with my success, I journeyed next day to Tampa, Florida. A BEAUTY CONTEST WAS BEING HELD, AND HAVING NOTHING ELSE TO 00, I ATTENDED IT. As the Queen was announced, I moved closer in. I understood the name to be a Miss Brown, since the crowd was so great, I was unable to make myself known to the oeauty, who was none other than Bernita Brown of B. h. s. My next stop was at Birmingham. As we drey; near the city, we had to stop to avoid a swerving car. It hit the bus and rolleo into the ditch. WE If.V- MEDIATELY HURRIED OVER TO THE CAR AND REMOVED AN UNCONSCIOUS WOMAN. AS SHE WAS BEING PLACED INTO AN AMBULANCE, I RECOGNIZED HER AS LUELLA CUSHMAN. I ACCOMPANIED THEM TO THE HOSPITAL. THEY OPERATED ON HER AT ONCE, BUT THE DOCTOR DID NOT THINK SHE HAD A CHANCE TO RECOVER. I WAS SURPRISED TO SEE THAT THE WOMAN DOCTOR WAS MARY JANE WELSH. I TOLD HER WHO I WAS. OESPITE THE DISCOURAGING REPORT OF THE DOCTOR, LUELLA REGAINED CONSCIOUSNESS AND EXPLAINED THAT SHE HAD BEEN ON HER WAY TO TAKE PART IN A DEBATE IN BI RM-INGHAM She WAS A PROFESSIONAL DEBATER That night, I took a train to New Orleans On arriving there, I went to the Weatherford hotel. The young lady at the desk cave a gasp of ex-CITEMENT, AS I SIGNED MY NAME. SHE WAS NONE OTHER THAN FRANCES PACEY. IN A FIRESIDE CHAT, I DISCOVERED THAT SHE WAS WORKING FOR HER UNCLE WHO OWNED THIS HOTEL. Next morning I left for Dallas, arriving there three days later. A RODEO WAS IN PROGRESS, SO I DECIDED TO ATTEND. NEAR THE CLOSE OF THE PERFORMANCE , TWO YOUNG LADIES PUT ON A MARVELOUS RIDING ACT THEY WERE CALLED Thomas-Oppe Dare—Devi ls They rode very close to where I was seated. At ONCE I DISCOVERED THEY WERE IDA AND MARY, WHOM I HAD KNOWN IN HIGH SCHOOL. I MET THEM AFTER THE PERFORMANCE AND LEARNED THAT THEY HAD MOVED TO TEXAS AND WERE MAKING THEIR LIVING BY THEIR SKILLFUL RIDING. At this moment, we heard a merry voice say, Hello. Turning around, i saw Doris and Marcella Cox coming toward us. We were told that they v ere TRAVELING WITH THEIR HUSBANDS WHO WERE SALESMEN. WHILE WE WERE STILL VISITING AND TALKING ABOUT OLD TIMES, A VERY STILISH WOMAN CAME tP TO US. IT was Margaret Kelley. We learned that she had become the wife of a very wealthy Texas oil man. I FINALLY LEFT THE GROUP RATHER SADLY BECAUSE I REALIZED THAT I HAD COMPLETED MY AIM, AND THAT MY PLEASANT TRIP AND MY MONEY WAS NOW AT AN END I REACHED HOME A WEEK LATER WELL SATISFIED WITH THE SHOWING THE CLASS OF 1939 WAS MAKING IN THE WORLD DORIS BEAL Glee Club—3,4; Operetta—3,4-Annual Staff-4, JOB BLUNDY: CLASS SEC.-I; VICE-PRES,-2,3; Band-1,2,3,4; Soloist Band Contest-1,2,3,4; Glee Club-1,2,3,4; Cho.

MOUNTAIN V E NUMBERED FIFTY, AS MANY REPORTS OF THE FAME OF THIS MOUNTAIN HAD BEEN ECHOED THROUGHOUT THE LOWLANDS. A BLONDE LASSIE, JOANNE KINGDON, WAS CHOSEN TO GUIDE OUR ANXIOUS GROUP. Miss Lindstrom and Miss Calhoun agreed to offer any necessary advice and consolation; FOR IT WAS A WELL-KNOWN FACT THAT THIS MOUNTAIN BELIEVED AND SPECIALIZED in the Art of Initiation, however, this fear was worse than the FRIGHT OF THE EVENTFUL NIGHT IN OCTOBER. NO ONE SUCCUMBED. IN FACT, V E NOV FELT AS MUCH AT HOME AS ANY OTHER OF THE CLIMBERS. When Christmas time came, we asked the advanced highlanders to slide DOWN FOR A PARTY AND TO CHECK OUR POWERS OF HOSPITALITY. ALL AGREED THAT WE NOW FILLED ALL DUTIES REQUIRED OF FIRST-YEAR CLIMBERS.

H. S. MOUNTAIN TO BEGIN THEIR UPWARD climb For expert guides, they quickly chose Thomas Day, Margaret Reinhart, AND DONALD HAYES. MISS CORA WAS FOUND TO BE A GOOD CLIMBER AND A WISE COUNSELLOR. THE PARTY HAD CLlMDED ONLY A FEW WEEKS WHEN THEY CAME TO Initiation Rock. Here the Sophomore Hikers roughly and cordially welcomed THEM INTO THE SOCIETY FOR B. H. S. MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS. THEY CLIMBED STEADILY UPWARDS—STOPPING AT CHRISTMAS LODGE TO GIVE A SUCCESSFUL PARTY FOR THE SOCIETY. The following Fall, they came back with a little larger party. The guide, this year, was Max Duncan, with assistants Betty Perkins and John Babcock. The aid of Miss Saddler was quickly enlisted. Everyone had fun at a party which THEY GAVE in a LITTLE COVE FOR SOME NEW CLIMBERS, THE FRESHMEN. The group began the third lap of its climb in September, 1937, with Donald Hayes as chief guide, and aides Margaret Brickner, Ruth Beeney, and Thomas Day. miss Allen and Mr. Brasmer were selected for advisors. The GROUP ENTERTAINED THE SENIOR CLIMBERS IN ROYAL HIGHLAND FASHION AT A RECEPTION IN MAY, HELD IN THE HIGH SCHOOL GYMNASIUM. Following a much needed rest, they came back the next fall to find themselves THE HIGHEST GROUP ON THE MOUNTAIN. WITH JOHN BABCOCK AS CHIEF CUlDE AND MR. BRASMER S AIDE, THEY CLlMDED STEADILY TO THE SUMMIT OF THE MOUNTAIN. During the last few days of hiking, the Junior climbers honored them with a reception. They were only a few feet from the top of Baccalaureate Sunday, May 22. May 27 was a great day for them; it was then that they received their award for the four years1 upward climb. r) D T rJ r 1938 SENIORS JOHN CABCOCK BASKETBALL-1,2,3,4; Track-1,2,3,4; Glee Cluo-I,2,3,4; CHO, CONTEST-1,2,3; OPERETTA-4; Com, Contest-3; Pres.-4; Band-1,2,3,4; Sec,—2; Annual Staff-3; Plays—3,4, RUTH DEENEY: Sec,—3; Glee Clud-2,3,4; cho, Contest-2,3,4; Com, Contest-3; Operetta—4; Annual staff-3, MARGARET DRICKNER Glee club-2,3,4; CHo, Contest-2, 3,4; vice—Fres.—3; Annual Staff-3.

MANY ARE THE BRIGHT FACES AND FLAT—N0SE6 PRESSED AGAINST THE WINDOW PANE WITH WISTFUL EYES. IN THE RIGHT CORNER, WE SEE A LITTLE DOLL DRESSED IN RED AND GREEN PLAID. SHE IS THE JOY OF EVERY LITTLE GlRLfS HEART. THE LEFT CORNER IS FILLED WITH JACK-1N-BOXES OF EVERY SIZE AND COLOR. SOON WE SEE THE LITTLE TCYMAKER COME AND OPEN AND CLOSE THE LARGEST ONE TO DELI C.HT THE LADS AND LASSIES PEEPING IN. In THE MIDDLE OF THE ROOM IS A SMALL PUPPET SHOW. ON THE Ml NATURE STAGE ARE LITTLE MEN AND WOMEN DRESSED IN BRIGHT COLORS. ONE LITTLE MAN HAS A SET OF BAGPIPES, THE OTHERS LOOK AS IF THEY WERE SINGING. SURELY, THEY WOULD DANCE FOR US IF SOMEONE WOULD PULL THE STRINGS. LIKEWISE, WE SEE MANY WOOLY DOGS, AND AMONG THEM IS A LITTLE WOODEN HORSE. Out, wait! Let us enter this toyland. as we open the door, we hear the STRAINS OF a MUSIC BOX. LOOK AT THE ROWS OF SHELVES, WITH TOYS OF EVERY DESCRIPTION] Arranging the toys is the little toymaker in his brown apron, he HAS KIND BLUE EYES, AND WHITE HAIR. HIS CHEERY GREETING MAKES US FEEL AT HOME AS HE SHOWS US HIS TOYS. ON THE BACK WALL IS A LITTLE CUCKOO CLOCK. IF WE LISTEN, WE MAY HEAR THE TAPPlNC OF LITTLE HAMMERS IN THE CACK OF THE SHOP. It IS TIME WE WERE LEAVING THIS FAIRYLAND, AND AS WE OPEN THE DOOR ONCE MORE, WE HEAR THE CUCKOO CLOCK STRIKE, AND V E ENTER THE NOISY STREET AS THE SNOW FALLS SOFTLY UPON THE ROOF OF OUR LITTLE SCOTCH TOY SHOP. (Caroline Brickner) A SENIOR A SEN!OR IS A PERSON WHO WALKS ABOUT THE ASSEMBLY AS IF HE OWNS IT. HE ALSO TALKS DURING STUDY HOURS AND HE PONDERS UPON THE SUBJECT OF HOW GREEN A FRESHMAN IS. He ISN� T UNFAIR TO THE FRESHMAN LIKE THE SOPHOMORES ARE; BUT HE INSISTS THAT THE FRESHMAN DO JUST AS HE TELLS HIM TO. A SENIOR ALSO GETS ON THE GOOD SIDE OF THE ENGLISH TEACHER SO THAT HE MAY HAVE THE FRESHMEN WRITE MATERIAL FOR THE SCHOOL ANNUAL. THE SENIORS GIVE CLASS PLAYS THAT ARE VERY THEATRICAL. THE SENIOR IS ALSO VERY SOPHISTICATED. V HOW T 0 KEEP AWAKE I N SCHOOL DIO YOU EVER COME DROWSY—EYED TO YOUR DESK , THINKING OF NOTH ING—AT—ALL, AND SIT ON A THUMB TACK? MAYBE SOME OF YOU MEVER HAVE, OUT THOSE WHO HAVE WILL KNOW THAT THIS IS ONE CERTAIN WAY OF WAKING ONE UP Perhaps, you were the person who looked dreamily out of the window and you heard someone faintly utter a sound. You learn that this 1.8 YOUR teacher STRAINING HER VOICE TO BRING YOUR Ml NO BACK TO CLASS AND THE SUBJECT WHICH YOU SHOULD OE THINKING ABOUT. IF YOU ARE THIS PERSON, YOU WILL KNOW THAT THE TEACHER WILL ALWAYS ASK YOU A QUESTION WHEN YOUR Ml NO IS, AS THEY SAY, AT LEAST TEN MILES AWAY IN GRADE SCHOOL, A TEACHER SHAKES HER PUPILS WITH MUCH VI COR TO AWAKEN THEM. Once in a while this is even USELESS, but most of the time it helps. Every school has the certain girl or girls who have been out until wee hours in the morning and who bring a package of cum, usually bubble gum. They are just positively certain that if they keep their jaws working back AND FORTH CONTINUOUSLY, THE DAY MIGHT BE ENDURED. NOT A THOUGHT IS GIVEN CY THEM TO THE PUP ILS AND TEACHERS THAT HAVE TO WATCH AND HEAR THEM. SEVERAL SCHOOLS HAVE DIG FAT BOYS WHO ARE CALLED SISSIES. OH, HOW THEY LOVE TO PINCH THEIR NEIGHBORS IN CLASS, BUT OH, HOW SAD IT IS WHEN THE COURSE IS TURNED AND THEY RECEIVE THE PINCHING. ALTHOUGH THIS MAY KEEP ONE FROM SLEEPING, IT IS VERY ANNOYING THE 3EST RECIPE FOR KEEPING AWAKE IN SCHOOL IS TO GO TO BED EARLY THE NIGHT BEFORE SO THAT YOU WILL HAVE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO SLEEP. IF SOMETIMES THIS CAN’T BE DONE, DON'T BRING GUM OR OTHER SILLY THINGS TO SCHOOL, BUT STAY HOME UNTIL YOU HAVE HAD YOU FULL REST PERIOD. THIS 13 MUCH BETTER THAN TAKING SNOOZES IN YOUR CLASSES, FOR YOU WON'T LEARN ANYTHING ANYWAY SLEEPING, SO YOU MIGHT JUST AS WELL STAY AT HOME. (Gale Foster) A GLIMPSE AT SCOTLAND Glittering lakes, rugged peaks, and flashing colors spell but one word— Scotland This small country is ever remembered as a place where plaids, kilts, and bagpipes rule supreme. The beautiful scenery and the brilliant fashions OF ITS PEOPLE CREATE AN OUTSTANDING IMPRESSION IN THE MIND OF ANY WHO OBTAINS A VIEW OF THEM. Scottish scenery consists mostly of long ranges of mountains separated BY GLEAMING LAKES AND STREAMS. THE SNOW-CAPPED PEAKS RISE MAJESTICALLY INTO THE SKY AND FORM AN EXCELLENT BACKGROUND FOR THE FORESTS AND LAKES BELOW. THE MOST INTERESTING PART OF SCOTLAND, HOWEVER, IS ITS PEOPLE. HUMOROUS ANECDOTES PORTRAY SCOTCH PEOPLE AS SELFISH PEOPLE WHO SPEND VERY LITTLE MONEY. These people are really thrifty, but are also peace-loving and honest as well as helpful. Their colorful clothing and queer speech distinguish them from other less-conspicious foreigners. Scotch customs are colorful as the people themselves. One of their FAVORITE SPORTS IS HUNTING, IN WHICH THEY PARTICIPATE FREQUENTLY, FOR THEIR MANY FORESTS OFFER AMPLE ROOM FOR THIS SPORT. DANCING, FOLK SONGS, AND MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS BRING ABOUT A COLORFUL SCENE FOR A GROUP OF SCOTTISH HIGHLANDERS IN THEIR QUAINT COSTUMES ENJOY THEMSELVES IMMENSELY WHILE DANCING TO THE STRAINS OF ANNIE LAURIE LOCK LOMAND, OR ANY OTHER POPULAR FOLK SONG. THE FAVORITE MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS ARE THE BAGPIPES, AND ARE PLAYED BY SCOTCH MUSICIANS WHILE THE PEOPLE DANCE. Scotland is truly a beautiful land. Scenery, costumes, people, and CUSTOMS TOGETHER WITH A WHOLESOME AND HONEST BACKGROUND MAKE A COLORFUL AND PICTURESQUE COUNTRY. NS.4 VS'. THE FIRST 0 A Y 0 F P H Y S I C A L EDUCATION 9 AS THE 3;|5 BELL RINGS, THIRTY BOYS BOLT FROM THEIR SEATS AND RUN FOR THE DRESSING ROOM AT THC FAR END OF THE GYM THE INSTRUCTOR IS ALREADY THERE, TELLING THE COYS THAT THEY ARE A BUNCH OF PANTY WAISTS AND ALSO THAT THEY ARE THE SLOWEST DRESSING BUNCH THAT HE S HAD IN ALL HIS YEARS OF TEACHING AS QUICKLY AS POSSICLE, ALL THE BOYS CET DRESSED AND GO OUT ON TO THE PLOT OF GROUND JUST NORTH OF THE SCHOOL BUILDING. IT IS A DUSTY DAY, SO THE INSTRUCTOR STANDS OUT OF THE WIND. ALL RIGHT, YOU GUYS, HE BELLOWS (jUST LIKE A BULL), WE WILL HAVE A LITTLE CALESTHENICS TO LOOSEN YOU PANTY WAISTS UP BEFORE WE START TO PLAY CALL. Okay, now, when I count one, you pansies raise your right leg. The INSTRUCTOR COUNTS ONE, AND ONE OF THE PUP ILS LIFTS HlS LETT LEG. WHO fS THAT SILLY MUG WITH BOTH FEET IN THE AIR? ASKS THE ASTONISHED INSTRUCTOR. After that the boys start for the ball diamond with great glee, but WHEN THEY REAOH THEIR DESTINATION: Get ON THOSE WEEDS, and if you get them all pulled in time, we might be able to play a little call, says the instructor, who has just GOT STARTED. I DON T WANT TO DEND MY BACK; IT S GOT A DONE IN IT, ANSWERS ONE OF THE WISE GUYS. The boys pull weeds off and on for nearly twenty minutes; THEN THE CROWD HOLLERS, LET'S PLAY DALLj The instructor answers with a smile, Go take your shower; you have ONLY FIVE MINUTES LEFT, The BOYS HURRY FOR THE SCHOOL HOUSE AS FAST AS THEY CAN, FOR THE LAST ONE TO LEAVE HAS TO BRING IN THE DAGS. THERE IS A STANDING RULE THAT IF SOMEONE COCONfT JAKE A SHOWER, THE OTHERS CAN THROW HIM IN (iF THEY ARE DlG ENOUGH). AS USUAL, ONE DOESNfT TAKE HlS SHOWER (AND THE POOR SOUL IS SMALL, TOO) SO HE IS THROWN IN, CLOTHES AND ALL, MAKING IT A PERFECT PHYSICAL EDUCATION DAY. _ HER FIRST DATE Minnie was in a very great state of excitement And why shouldn t she be? She, Minerva margretta McCoy, the only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Timothy McCoy, was going on her first date. And of all people, David brown, rumored as the town’s best catch, was taking her to the Fraternity oance at the TOWNfs only college. 4 MINNIE SPENT THE MORNING SHOPPING FOR A DRESS THAT WOULD BE SUITABLE FOR THE OCCASION. MOW MINNIE WAS RATHER ON THE THIN SIDE AND EXCEPTIONALLY TALL, SO SHE DECIDED TO GET A DRESS THAT WOULD MAKE HER LOOK SHORTER. MINNIE CAME HOME WITH A BRIGHT RED CHIFFON DRESS WHICH IN MINNIE’S OWN WORDS WAS JUST DARLING. SITTING BEFORE THE VANITY MINNIE SURVEYED HERSELF IN THE MIRROR. HER NOSE WAS TOO LONG AND POINTED, BUT THAT, OF COURSE, MINNIE COULD NOT HELP. Her neck was too long and bony, but the dress would improve that, because Minnie HAD ESPECIALLY LIKED THE HIGH NECK OF THE DRESS. MINNIE APPLIED HER MAKEUP, GETTING IT RATHER STREAKED IN PLACES, BUT TO MINNIE, IT LOOKED PERFECT. HER HAIR, WHICH WAS OF STRAW COLOR, WAS FIXED IN A KNOT AT THE NAPE OF HER NECK. When Minnie was ready from silver dancing sandals to the specially shined HORN-RIMMED GLASSES, BECAUSE MINNIE WAS VERY NEAR-SIGHTED, SHE SAT DOWN TO wait. Answering the doorbell, Minnie surveyed the handsome young man before HER, AND THOUGHT HOW LUCKY SHE WAS TO HAVE SUCH A WONDERFUL ESCORT. DAVlO ESCORTED HER TO THE LOW-SLUNG BLACK ROADSTER WHICH WAS PARKED AT THE CURB, ALL THE WAY TO THE PARTY, MINNIE KEPT UP A STEADY FLOW OF CONVERSATION, BUT DAVID ANSWERED HER IN MONOSYLLABLES. ARRIVING AT THE DANCE, MINNIE WENT TO THE DRESSING-ROOM TO TAKE OFF HER COAT, HER ALLOWANCE DID NOT PERMIT HER BUYING AN EVENING WRAP, SO SHE HAD TO V EAR HER OLD SPRING COAT. AS MINNIE ENTERED THE DRESSING-ROOM, THE GIRLS BECAN TO SNICKER. A FEW OF THE FRIENDLY ONES SPOKE TO HER. MINNIE WAS DANCING WITH DAVlD;(PARDON ME, I SHOULD HAVE SAID, TRYING TO DANCE WITH DAVID, ) WHEN THEY DANCED PAST ONE OF DA VI D ’ S FRATERNITY BROTHERS. MINNIE HEARD HIM SAY, YOU RE TO KISS HER, TOO. DAVID BLUSHED AND DANCED MINNIE AWAY. MINNIE ASKED DAVID WAHT HIS FRATERNITY BROTHER HAD MEANT BY that. David replied, Nothing and asked Minnie if she would like to renew HER MAKE-UP. WHILE MINNIE WAS IN THE DRESSING-ROOM, ONE OF THE GIRLS SAID, MINNIE, THEY SURELY MADE A SAP OUT OF YOU. ASTONISHED, MINNIE ASKED HER WHAT SHE MEANT, THE GIRL .SAID, DIDN’T YOU KNOW THAT DAVID IS BEING INITIATED into the Fraternity tonight and as part of his iniation he was to bring THE HOMELIEST GIRL IN TOWN? In TEARS, MINNIE TURNED AND FLED FROM THE ROOM AND LEFT THE HOUSE.

The boy s (let� s call him 30B SPEARS ) FIRST MISTAKE WAS asking the girl FOR THE DATE BEFORE HE ASKED HIS FATHERfS PERMISSION FOR THE CAR. TUESDAY, Bette reported thaj she could go, providing she was home by eleven o•clock, fine, said Dob, and now to ask Oad for the car. Bette was amazed at this, but said only, Of course. Tuesday and Wednesday passed by, but still he had not approacheo his fa ther. It was Thursday morning and after worrying about it all night, he felt that he was prepared, Oad, you remember what you said last Friday? From behind the newspaper was heard a grunt, and mumbled words; not so ENCOURAGING, NOPE. ER-ACOUT THE CAR, YOU SAID IF----. huh? What s that? The reading was discontinued. Silence from boo, well? Then out it came and all his fine prepareo speech was forgotten and all THE WORDS HE FORCED FROM HIS MOUTH WERE MUMBLED TERRIBLY TOGETHER. YOU PROMISED ME IF BRIMF I ELD WON THE GAME LAST FRIDAY NIGHT I COULD HAVE THE CAR ON SUNDAY, ELL, DIDN T TAKE IT SO YOU SA10 THAT I MIGHT HAVE It it this week. A pause— Can I? But his Oad had resumed his reading. As he heard Oob� s last query, he TOOK TIME TO SAY, OH—SURE. IF YOU DRIVE CAREFULLY AND GET HOME BY SIX 0� CL0CK. But Dad, laughed Bod, You see, I want it at night. YOU DO? ASKED HlS DAD. AND WHY, MAY I ASK, AT NIGHT? OH, STAMMERED COB, I DON T KNOW. I 0 RATHER GO AT NIGHT. lTfS MORE fun. And to himself he thought, Gosh, this Is terrible , I wonder what IfLL ASK NEXT? WH0fS GOING WITH YOU? (I KNEW IT) I OWE DON A TRIP, au. right, dut remember no girls, And so that was over.

WHY DID YOU LIE TO ME—JUST WHAT 8 THE DIG IDEA? Dut Cod wouldn t tell him and as long as he yelled at him, he did not TELL HER IDENTITY AND TO THIS DAY HE DOES NOT KNOW. ALL THAT WAS SAID 1 CAN NOT WRITE, BUT SUM IT ALL UP IN A FEW WORDS, COD TOOK AN AWFUL DAWLlNG OUT AND WAS ALSO DEPRIVED OF THE USE OF THE C.R FOR AN INDEFINITE LENGTH OF TIME. COD HAS LEARNED THAT LIES DO NOT PAY AND HE IS STILL WONDERING HOW THE CAT GOT OUT OF THE CAG. CUT, P .N, DIDN'T HE HAVE A GOOD TIME THAT NIGHT? X , WHEN I FORGOT One bright warm day in August I started to take a walk in the woods I HAD WALKED FOR ABOUT THREE MILES WHEN I BECAME HOT AND TIRED; SO I DECIDED TO REST FOR A WHILE. I SAT DOWN IN THE COOL SHADE OF A LARGE ELM TREE IT WAS VERY COMFORTABLE AND PE INC VERY TIRED, I LAY DOWN. FOR A WHILE, I WATCHED THE BIRDS FLYING FROM ONE TREE TO ANOTHER BUSILY FEEDING THEIR LITTLE ones. Then I watched the squirrels at play in a tree near by. I soon TIRED OF WATCHING THEM AND THEN I CLOSED MY EYES. YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT HAPPENED. WHY, I'FELL ASLEEP, OF COURSE When I awoke I couldn't remember where I was. Then, it suddenly occured TO ME THAT I WAS IN THE WOODS, BUT WHERE? I WAS LOST FOR I COULD NOT REMEMBER FROM WHICH DIRECTION I HAD COME. THE SKY WAS DARK AND CLOUDY AND I KNEW THAT IT WAS GOING TO RAIN. WHAT WAS I GOING TO DO? I DIDN'T WANT TO STAY IN THE WOODS ALL NIGHT, BUT WHAT ELSE COULD I DO WHEN I DID NOT KNOW THE WAY HOME? IT WAS SO DARK THAT I COULD NOT EVEN FIND THE PATH THAT I HAD FOLLOWED INTO THE WOODS EARLIER IN THE AFTERNOON. IT STARTED TO RAIN AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY SHELTER. FINALLY, I DECIDED TO MAKE SOME SHELTER OF STICKS AND BRANCHES AS BEST I COULD. I STARTED PUTTING LONG STICKS TOGETHER AGAINST A TREE. THEN, FEELING AROUND IN THE DARKNESS, I GATHERED WEEDS AND BRANCHES OF ALL KINDS THAT I COULD FIND. These I piled on top of the sticks and crawled under. It was a fairly DECENT SHELTER. AT LEAST IT KEPT SOME OF THE RAIN OFF. HER, AMID THE RAIN AND LEAVES, I FELL ASLEEP ACAIN. The NEXT MORN INC, WHEN I AWOKE, I FELT CRAMPED AND STIFF, EVERY BREATH I TOOK HURT ME. I TRIED TO GET UP BUT I WAS SO STIFF AND SORE THAT I COULD HARDLY MOVE MY LEGS ANO BODY. I KNEW THAT I WOULD HAVE TO STAY THERE UNTIL HELP CAME. I HAD LAIN THERE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR WHEN I HEARD A FAMILIAR VOICE CALLING MY NAME. USING ALL MY STRENGTH, I MADE AN EFFORT TO ANSWER HIM. HE HEARD ME AND SOON HELP WAS NEAR. IT WAS MY FATHER AND THE NEIGHBORS SEARCHING FOR ME. WHEN I TOLD THEM I COULD NOT GET UP, THEY MADE A STRETCHER OUT OF THEIR COATS AND CARRIED ME HOME. AFTER PUTTING ME TO BED, FATHER CALLED THE DOCTOR. When the doctor arrived he told my father that I had developed pneumonia FROM LYING ON THE DAMP GROUND. THAT IS ALL I REMEMBER FOR ABOUT A WEEK. MY PARENTS TOLD ME AFTERWARDS THAT I HAD BEEN UNCONSCIOUS ALL WEEK ANO NEAR DEATH WHEN I REGAINED MY CONSCIOUSNESS, I WAS SO WEAK THAT I COULDN'T EVEN RAISE MY HEAD FROM THE PILLOW. ALL OF MY FRIENDS WERE HAPPY TO LEARN THAT I WAS BETTER AMO SENT ME MANY GIFTS OF FLOWERS, CANDY, AND BOOKS. I SLOWLY REGAINED MY STRENGTH AND WAS SOON ABLE TO SIT UP. SOON I WAS UP ANO AROUND BUT VERY THIN AND PALE. I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH AMBITION AND COULDN'T DO MUCH BECAUSE I SOON BECAME TIRED. I SOON RECAINEO ALL MY STRENGTH ANO WAS AS WELL AS EVER. NOW, WHEN TRAVELING IN THE WOODS, I AM VERY PARTICULAR ABOUT MARKING MY PATH SO THAT I WON'T FORGET IT. D T rJ r THE ART OF KILLING TIME OF THE MANY ARTS, THE ART OF KILLING TIME IS ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING, IN MY OPINION, MOST PEOPLE HAVE PERFECTED THIS ART IN A DIFFERENT FASHION, I OBSERVED AN AMUSING EXAMPLE OF THIS ART A FEW DAYS AGO IN THE SIXTH HOUR ASSEMBLY, (OF COURSE, I V ASN1 T KILLING TIME BY WATCHING THE OTHER PERSON,) This person, we shall call him John, seemed to deT undecided as to what to do. He opened his desk, and considered his books quite seriously, PICKING UP one, he placed it on top of his desk. Then chancing his mind, he replaced it AND DROUGHT OUT A DELAPIDATED NOTE-BOOK, WHICH HE GLANCED THROUGH QUICKLY, Again changing his mind, he replaced it and looked at the contents of the desk. From the expression on his face, none seemed to suit his taste, Suooenly he SEEMED TO HAVE A DRIGHT THOUGHT, HIS DESK NEEDED CLEANING] REMOVING HlS DOOKS, HE PROCEEDED TO PLACE THEM IN CAREFULLY, UNDECIDED AS TO WHETHER TO PLACE A RED DOOK BESIDE A DARK GREEN OR BROWN ONE, HE STARED THOUGHTFULLY, FOR EXACTLY THREE MINUTES, HE APPARENTLY DECIDED THAT RED AND GREEN WERE PREFERABLE, TAKINC OUT A PENCIL AND DOOK, HE PRETENDED TO STUDY AS THE TEACHER WALKED THAT WAY, HOWEVER, THE TEACHER SOON PASSED DY, AND JOHN LOOKED AT THE clock. Twenty long minutes left] Ah, something has struck his eye. He WATCHES IT INTENTLY LEAN INC FORWARD IN HIS SEAT, A LITTLE INSECT WAS ATTEMPTING TO CLIMB UP THE LEG OF THE DESK] AS IT REACHED THE TOP, HE PUSHED IT OFF THE DESK WITH HIS PENCIL. THE INSECT, AFTER SEVERAL FUTILE ATTEMPTS, LEFT. JOHN LOOKS AT THE CLOCK. ONLY TEN MINUTES LEFT] HE LOOKS AROUND, AND SEEING THE OTHER STUDENTS STUDYING DILIGENTLY, LAUGHS TO HIMSELF AT THEIR FOOLISHNESS, THE DELL RINGS. JOHN HAS A TRAClC EXPRESSION ON HlS FACE. SEIZING HIS DOOK, HE ATTEMPTS TO LEARN HIS HISTORY LESSON IN TWO AND ONE-HALF MINUTES. AS HE LEAVES THE ASSEMBLY, HE EXPLAINS TO A FRIEND THAT HE JUST DlDNfT HAVE TIME TO GET THAT HISTORY LESSON.

The morning SHIFT WAS COMPOSED OF TRADES ONE STUDENTS WHO WERE MOSTLY FRESHMEN AND A FEW sophomores. Trades Two Class—the afternoon shift—was composed of juniors and Seniors. The instructor was Mr. walthers. The first outside work of the season was the concrete curbing and lip In FRONT OF THE SCHOOLHOUSE. WHEN THE BUILDING WAS CONSTRUCTED IN 1936 THIS WAS overlooked; so the Trades class was given the opportunity to build it. The FORMS WERE LAID AND REENFORCED WITH STEEL AND THE CONCRETE POURED. THE CURO WAS POURED ONE DAY AND THE LIP ABOUT A WEEK LATER. PROVISION WAS MADE FOR STEPS AND GRAVEL THE LENGTH OF THE CURB SIX FEET WIDE AND FOUR INCHES THICK. When it was finished the class was very highly complimented for the improvement IN THE LOOKS OF THE BUILDING. The next project was the laying of 265 feet of 4-foot sidewalk around the building. From the west entrance the sidewalk was laid AROUND the north side TO THE FARTHEST EAST DOOR. A STRETCH WAS ALSO LAID FROM THE FRONT ENTRANCE TO THE WEST SIDEWALK. AND ONE MORE PROJECT WAS DONE BY THE CLASS. THEY DETERMINED THE ELEVATION OF THE TRACK FIELD BEHIND THE BUILDING WITH THE TRANSIT Our big project, however, was the building of a garage for Mr Robert Tucker. This garage was 20 feet wide and forty feet long It had a concrete foundation with a concrete floor and approach. The roof was a hip with a SEVEN AND TWELVE PITCH. DROP-SIDING WAS USED WITH ASBESTOS SHINGLES ON THE ROOF. A CHIMNEY WAS BUILT. ALL WIRING WAS DONE BY THE TRADES CLASSES. THE DOOR CASINGS WERE SEARS ROEBUCK ALONG WITH THE WINDOW CaSINGS. FROM THE FIRST WHEN WE TORE DOWN THE OLD BARN UNTIL THE WIRING WAS COMPLETED THE Trades Classes did it all with no outside help outside the instructing of Mr. Walthers. Also this year we are to build a 24� by 30 garage with a gable roof FOR GEORCE TENNERY. As FAR AS WE KNOW RIGHT NOW IT IS NOT GOING TO HAVE A CEMENT FLOOR, BUT IT WILL HAVE A CHIMNEY AND WORKBENCH. WE WILL BUlLO THE DOOR AND WINDOW CASINGS OURSELVES. And now (Trades i): (Trades ii): THE NAMES OF THE TRADES CLASS OF 1939: H. Ceeney, C. Drown, o. Dridson, C. Carter, R. Cahill, E. Frye. L.
