Everyone said so. He was in everything he could get into which were few indeed, although he tried out for everything. First foot- ball, then basketball, and finally base- ball. He was fair in everything but not good enough to be carried in any- thing. The coaches carried him as long as possible but finally had to cut him to make the squad smaller. It was his last year and he hadn't won his letter yet. A letter seemed his only ambition in school. How can I get one?l' he sud- denly demanded of his only sympa- thizer, Fritz Hoffman. Get one what? Fritz asked. What do you suppose? A baby elephant? A letter of course! Sap replied. Not much chance at football,', added Sap. Not for you, anyway, exclaimed Ted, a fellow classmate, 'fwhy don't you forget a letter and go down and lead the cheering? A sap like you always makes a good cheer leader. But there's no letter in thatf, Sap murmered. 'fVVhat's that matter? lVIaybe I could persuade the board to give you onef, replied Ted. After much arguing and pleading, Jim was persuaded to go down. At the first game the teams came out and were cheered lustily by the re- presentative schools. Gee! thereys the Sap down there. -'N In-me he's one of the cheer leadersln ex- claimed one fan to another. Well, I'll be d-. ,replied the second. The score was lop sided, the home team winning easily. The next two games were the same, although the games were getting harder straight along. The first hard game was almost a loss. The score was 0-0 at the end of the third quarter. The team did not show much fight, partly because it was dog-tired. At the beginning of the last quarter, the home fans were not cheering very much and, when they did cheer, it was only half- heartedly. The Sap suddenly jumped up and started a cheer. The crowd suddenly seemed to catch a new spirit, which was conveyed to the team by many loud and lusty cheers. The team started to play better. It had found courage and fresh strength some- where. Down the field it went. Nothing seemed to be able to stop it. A touchdown was scored and the extra point made. The rest of the game was played in mid-field, both teams being pretty well matched. The final score was 7-O in favor of the home team. No one seemed to think anything about the way the Sap had started the cheers. This was the way the next two games were won and the home school V l l I . 6 THE SENIOR .MAGNET got a name for itself for winning games in the last quarter. The last and most bitterly contest- ed game was scheduled for the next Saturday. The day was a fine Nov- ember day for football. Une of the largest crowds that ever attended a football game was expected. UTelegram for Mr. Jimf, shouted the college darky handy man. 'lMu.st be getting important, Sap. exclaimed one of his many non-ad- mirers. Sap turned pale and seemed to grow sick in reading the telegram. My mother is dying! he shou.ted wildly to no one in particular. Rastus, get the can ready and take me to the stationf' headded after a short deliberation. Yas, suhl Massa Jimf, he re- plied. Jim was home as soon as possible but, by the time he got there his mother had taken a turn for the be- ter and was expected to recover. Both his father and mother urged him to go back and see the game. He got off the train and was greet- ed by a radio, announcing the foot- ball scores. lAWhat's that! Amherst 6-Lincoln 0 at the half ?,, he demanded of a fel- low-listener, standing near by. Yehl Confound the luck, anyway. We ought to win today but it seems as if the team isnlt fightingf, the listener replied. Jim grabbed a taxi and hurried to the stadium. Still by the time he got there, the third qu.arter was almost over. To put on his uniform and to grab his megaphone took only a minute. The fourth quarter was just beginning when he ran out on the field. Neither the team nor the root- ers were showing much spirit. Only cheering half-heartedly, the rooters did as much harm as good for the team. The Sap ran down to the front of the grandstand and called for a cheer. The crowd recognized him and for some reason or other cheered again and again. The team found fresh courage. A touchdown was scored and the extra point made. These seven points were enough to win the game. Four times the games had been won in the last qu.arter. The team had been arou.sed by the cheering of the crowd, which in turn had been arous- ed by the Sap. Going down the line, it was the Sap who was responsible for these victories. No one seemed to think so thoughg or, if anyone did, he kept it to himself. On the night of the football ban- quet an invitation was sent to Jim. He went. Following the dinner and a few short speeches, the letters were given out to the players. After all the letters had been given out, the presenter said, 'Alt is also a great pleasure for me to present one more letter. It is not customary to give a letter to this particular branch of athletics, but by a vote of the team and board, it was decided to present a letter to this certain party on al:- count of his part in helping to win the games. Again I say that it is my great pleasure to present this letter to Mr. James Sanderson, comnionly caled 'the Sap', I believe. lVIr. San- dersonf' Jim just stood there. What could he say? He was so dumbfounded he hardly knew what he was doing. His letter at last and in a way altogether unexpected! I-I thank you.'l was all he could mutter. N THE SENIOR IMA GNET 7 Good For Evil LILLIAN DUMBAUGH As Dolores Burke walked along the vacant streets of the Tenement District, East Side, New York, she was conscious of an uncanny feeling of being followed. But as she walked faster and faster, the feeling became more real. When she rounded the corner a young man stepped in front of her and ordered f'Hands Uplu Dolores could hardly believe her eyes. Surely she was dreaming. VVhy, one heard only of such things in fiction, but all the same it was true. She slowly raised her hands, all the time closely regarding the features of the Hbanditf, if he could be termed as such, which were visible below and above his half-mask. He wasn't what you would term 'Khard-boiledf' in fact he seemed very green in this at- tempt of a hold-up. He took a small signet ring, the only piece of jewelry Dolores had about her, and two dol- lars in cash. Une last glance, and he disappeared. Dolores was too stun- ned to call for help and ran the re- maining distance to her home where she lived with a widowed mother and Happer sister, Joan. To them she re- lated her experience, still believing that this young man could not be a real thief. Dolores was not what one could call a flapper, but yet she was far from being old-fashioned. Her hair, which was light and bobbed, fell in little ringlets about her face under the trim little felt hat she was wear- ing. Her complexion was of natural beauty, which gave her no need of visiting a drug store to purchase cos- metics. She was well dressed, and walked with a stride that bespoke of pep, courage, and willingness, and, to an onlooker, she presented a very alluring appearance. One month later, our hero, Jack Reed, otherwise our green thiefn was becoming initiated into the paths of real criminals. He had always lived in poverty and, although he worked at a filling station during the day, receiving small wages, he worked with the 'igangn at night, very often bringing in large hauls at one time. Now they were getting ready to bring in another large haul which, if suc- cessful, would probably make them a comfortable living for a whlie. This haul was that of smuggling goods into shore from steamers anchored outside the harbor. The big night came, and all was going well. As the smugglers pulled away from the steamer, they dis- covered that they were blinded by a powerful searchlight played on them from a trim motor boat not more than three hundred feet from astern. This could mean only one thing. Their game was up. Someone tipped off the harbor patrol and they knew they were in for a chase. As Jack grasped the wheel and started shore- ward, a shot pierced the air and he crumpled up in a heap. The boat veered sharply to port, then crashed headlong into a small schooner. Be- fore their boat could completely overturn, they were overtaken by the police boat. Outnumbered two to one, there was nothing to do but surrender. Jack was in su.ch a bad condition from the effects of the shot, that he was rushed to the hospital. Dolores Burke, who had returned from her vacation and was again on duty at the hospital, was immediately summoned to the operating froom 8 THE SENIOR MAGNET where an anaesthetic was being ad- ministred to Jack. She grasped his pulse and the operation began. Dolores had a feeling that she had seen this man before but couldn't place him. The case was given over to her and she became very much in- terested, never leaving his bedside ex- cept to get a few hours sleep while another nurse took her place. Jack's wound did not heal and it was necessary for him to remain at the hospital. He had a guilty feeling every time Dolores was around him, for he remembered this girl as the one he had stolen from not so long ago. Now 'here she was caring for him as tenderly as a mother for her child. He felt he must confess to her, for every day his love swelled in his heart. One day he could stand it no long- er and he called her to his side. He first told her of his love and asked if she would listen to a confession he had to make. A tender look flashed in her eyes and she took his hand in her own, telling him to begin his story. He told her how his life had been one of poverty, how he worked at a gas station during the day, and how he had gotten in with this tough bunch who taught him how to steal cleverlv without being caught. He said, My life was not meant to be that of a thiefg but how I came under the influence of that gang, I do not know. I wouldn't break myself of these tricks. So one night a bunch of the fellows dared me to hold up the first nretty girl that came along. At first I refused, but they kept taunting me, and I determined that I would show them. You happened to be the victim. I was sorry immediately after it was done because I believe that I loved you from that time on and I didn't want to hurt you. The picture of your face has never once left me. I still have your little ring. I just could not part with it and as far as for the two dollars I took, it will be paid back as soon as I am able to do it. During this confession, the tears slowly trembled down Dolores, cheek and she knew she could not deny that she returned his love. What could she do for him? She knew as soon as he was well there would be a trial, because the rest of the gang had been rounded upg and then what? Pro- bably a long sentence in prison. Dolores had noticed this ring on his little finger but never thought it was her's for the one she had was just a cheap one and naturally there would be many like it. And now as he handed it over to her with a little pathetic look, she pushed it away from her, telling him to keep it for good luck in the future. By that, he knew he was forgiven and all there was for him to do was to hurry and get well. But the day of the trial came and ,lack was not able to be present. It lasted three days only because the cir- cumstantial evidence was not clearly given. During this time, Jack lay in his bed, fearing the outcome of the trial. But finally it was over and Jack learned the news. The Gang con- fessed to the whole thingg but they also confessed that Jack was 'fgreenf' and having come under their influ- ence, was taken advantage of. The leader of the gang nick-named f'Two- gun Joe appealed to the judge, say- ing, f'The kid is innocent, this is his first offense. Make it easy for himf' The result was the 'fgangu was sent to prison for a five years and Jack was let off with a hundred dollars fine and some good sound advice which was given to him by the judge, who went to the hospital to see Jack soon after the trial. Dolores was so happy she could scarcely hold in her joy. Even when going about her daily routine among THE SENIOR MAGNET 9 the patients, a happy smile played about her lips. Jack said he knew that he would soon get well now, because it was a great load lifted from his heart and he knew Dolores loved him. And he was true to his word, for one fine afternoon we find him leav- ing the hospital, leaning on the arm of Dolores Burke, who tomorrow at this same time would be Mrs. Jack Reed. 10 THE SENIOR ZMAIGNET ' While London Sleeps JOSEPH J. GRAHANI London, that foggy metropolis, The one city of the world. Such was Peter Grayson's opinion of that fam- ed historical city. Quite a compli- ment to be paid by a Parisian. Yes, a Parisian. Can you imagine a Paris- ian speaking like that? Impossible, the people would say, but wait- Peter Grayson was a student of Art. Before old enough to enter the schools he passed away his spare time in idolizing the great artists of the world. He had to keep the wolf away from his door-or starve. So, leav- ing his dear old Paris behind, he en- tered into a broad, wide, open world full of miseries and misfortunesg per- haps to die-perhaps to become famous. Five years passed and still Peter Grayson was struggling--he had not yet attracted the attention of artistic London. But he was not one who would give up. He would make all London cast their eyes on Peter Grayson, and then-his youthful am- bitions wou.ld be recognized. Peters path was difficult. London was so hard to please-oh, it was not like Paris where one could be- come famous almost over night. But London was the artistic center and not Parisi To be recognized by the National Artists Club meant fame, wealth and-life. London appealed to Peter. He loved the city, but did the city love him? he asked himself time and again. He was becoming thin and scarcely ate. He was losing -but he would play the game! One day as Peter was coming from his room, a thought suddenly came to him. He would take his paintings to the National Artists Club-he would have them pass their judgment on his drawings-he would make them recognize him. So, he re-enter- ed his room, gathered up his paintings, put them under his arms and de- parted. Night was falling. The fog was thick, so thick that one could hardly see a light in front of him. Few peo- ple were on the streets. There was hardly a sound-everything seemed dead. Suddenly a coughing was heard. It was growing worse and worse every moment and then a faint cry and--silence. The next day lay Peter Grayson in his cold and almost bare room, except for a few wierd looking canvases. He was ghostly pale, his eyes were half- opened and-he lay coughing. Not a single soul to watch over him-not a particle of food or medicine was in the room. All was bare. Suddenly almost as black as pitch-there was not a noise. Five years passed, it was the day of the hundredth anniversary of the National Artists Club-all London was keyed-up. Everyone was talking pictures-hardly a word was spoken without having some bearing on the hundredth anniversary of the Nation- al Artists Club. That night precisely at eight o'clock, the doors of the National Artists Club were thrown open-all London was invited and was there. Pictures, beautiful scenes were on ex- hibition. Never did the people of London see such master-pieces. The works were gorgeous. To pick the best was a job. The officials them- selves were completely overcome by such an exhibition from which to pick the prize-winner. A hush fell over the crowd, the officials were coming THE SENIOR JIJGNET 11 out of their chamber, the prize win- ner was about to be announced. A tall, thin-faced, middle-aged man arose from his seat and in a coarse voice announced. A' 'The VVeary Scene' by XVilliam G. Brooks has been judged by the officials of the National Artists Club as the prize winning paintingf' 'The Weary Scene' was truly a wonderful painting, the judges could not have made a better selection-but VVilliam G. Brooks, who was he? The next day the London Daily Chronicle quoted: HWilliam G. Brooks, KVVeary Scene, was judged as the most beauti- ful painting on exhibition at the hun- dredth anniversary of the National Artists Club-held at Excyll'e Palace last evening. William G. Brooks tru.ly depicted a wonderful scene, the selection could not have been better. The artist of the AWeary Scene, has been painting for eight years, but this is the first time that his works have caught the eye of the public. Wil- liam G. Brooks has a great future- can he keep it up ? Night was falling. The fog was slowly steeling. lt was a typical London night. Suddenly a coughing was heard. It was growing worse- then suddenly it was hear no more. The next day lay VVilliam G. Brooks in his rude studio, the lone fire was the only sign of life. Cough- ing, coughing, coughing. Such ter- rible sounds-surely the man was tres, tres malade. Then suddenly the slamming of a door was heard. lt was the ghastly landlord. He had come at the terrible sounds. Then XVilliam Brooks motioned him to come nearer. Jean l have something to say to you before l bid you good-byef' The landlord moved closer, he looked almost as bad as le malade. I am not the painter of the AVVeary Scene',! Jean fell back, completely astonish- ed. Hlmpossible, Brooks, you are out of your mindf' No, Jean. Ilm telling you the truth. I am not the painter of the 'VVeary Scenel' Peter Grayson was the real artistll' The poor sick fellow fell back, never to hold a brush again. A few days later, the newspaper gave considerable space to the death of William G. Brooks. - But the paper never learned the truth. They never knew that Peter J. Grayson was the real artist of the HWeary Scene. The landlord knew all. William Brooks confessed all to him-how he had stolen Peter Gray- son's paintings after the unfortunate man had died and how he had placed the paintings on exhibition and won national fame. 12 THE SENIOR iWAGNET The Mountaineer CURTIS KROUSE Late one afternoon about fifty years ago, two men stood on the edge of a cliff in the 'Tennessee mountains overlooking a small lake. They had been up in the mountains for two days inspecting coal deposits on the land of the younger man. The older of the two already passed the prime of life, and judging from the instru- ments he carried, he was a surveyor. The younger man, although not quite twenty-five years of age was far older in experience. He had lived most of his years in these mountains, except the four years spent at college. Now, he spoke with unconcealed bitterness, I suppose this trip we made up here was utterly useless. Those scoundrels have stolen our samples of coal and destroyed our papers. The company will do nothing till we prove the worth of those mines. I remembered father saying a few days before this same bunch killed him that every time he had a deal drawn up and ready to close it, somebody queered it. He said there was someone outside these hills back- ing it. ' The older man remained silent. He could think of no word of comfort, for he knew the story of the boyis life. The boy's father, Jim Mont- gomery, had owned valuable land in these hills. While he was yet a boy, a band of outlaws had sought con- cealment in the numerous caves in the land. Realizing that if the lands were developed they would be useless as a hiding place, they had fought every such attempt, and thus far they had succeeded. The year before they had been driven to extremes and had killed Montgomeryf. Now, young Jim had come home from college-deter- mined to drive out the outlaws and avenge his father's death. So this trip had been made into the moun- tains to survey the land and get some samples of the rich coal beds they thought were there. The night be- fore these samples with some valuable papers had been stolen. As the older man stood there thinking of these things, Jim spoke again. I have a feeling that someone is watching usg if they shoot, I'm going to jump over this clifff, As if in answer to his statement, two rifle shots rang out. The one bullet whizzed so close to Jim's face that he felt it fan his cheeks. He heard the other strike, and as he jumped, he saw his friend reel and stagger to the edge of the cliff and then toppled over the brink. As Jim touched the water, he struck out quickly for the shore. Reaching this he concealed himself in some bushes where he could see anyone on the cliff without being seen himself. Present- ly a villainous face peered over the cliff, to be refiected in the lake. f'Well, I guess we got them that time. I'll bet the old man will pay us well for this job. He was having a hard time to keep that coal company from leasing the land. Now he can buy the land cheap, from the old wo- man, one-eyed Tom exclaimed to someone behind him whom Jim could not see. Night came before Jim ventured from his hiding place and set off down the mountain. It was far after midnight when he reached home, but he found his mother and sister, Aileen, waiting for him with haggard faces brightening in spite of the fact that his face portrayed failure. They asked THE SENIOR JWAGNET 13 him no questions but brought him food and then sent him to bed. The next morning, Jim told his mother what had happened and then went to town to telegraph for a col- lege friend to come at once. As he entered the telegraph office, he came face to face with a man who always pretended to be his father's friend but whom Jim instinctively distrusted. He was short and fat with a red face and small eyes almost hidden by thick rolls of fat. As his glance fell on the young man, he started back in hor- rorg his face became white and a green circle appeared around his mouth. He pushed past the young man with lowered head and went quickly into the street. Jim glanced after him surprised. A sudden thought struck him, and instead of sending the telegram, he followed the man at a distance. Then he made his second startling discovery of the morning. Some one else was follow- ing Harry Cratty. The man looked familiar but before he could ascertain who it was, the man disappeared as if the earth had swallowed him. Much disturbed by his discovery, he followed Cratty to his office, and then returned to where he had left his horse and started home. He had ridden several miles when he heard the sound of galloping hoof beats behind him. Thinking that it might be one of the outlaws, he reined his horse to the side of the roadbehind a clump of bushes, and drawing a pistol, waited. As the rider drew near, he recognized the man as the one who had followed Cratty, and a moment later he saw that it was none other than his chum Bill Blake, whom he was going to tele- graph. WVith a shout of joy, he spur- red his horse out on to the trail caus- ing Bill's horse to rear and buck. VVhen he finally got him quieted, Bill exclaimed, l say, old fellow, what's the big idea of riding out like a wild Indian and frightening a fellow out of his wits! Jim laughed heartily, for he knew that it would take more than that to frighten his friend. Then suddenly, his face soberedg and he explained the happenings of the last few days. Bill nodded quietly when he had fin- ished. Yes, l know, and I think your sus- picions about Cratty are correct. I'm down here looking after him myself and unless I'm greatly mistaken, we'll find him at a certain little cabin up in these hills tonight and then we will call on him to account for himself. just now, we had better get busy so we can give them a warm receptionfl The night was dark, and the men rode quietly up the trail looking more like ghosts than men. The utter silence with which they rode, except when one accidently struck his rille against something and cursed softly, was appalling. Presently at a word from their leader, they halted and leaving their horses with two of the men, crept up the trail. Soon, a dark bulk loomed in front of them. The men surrounded the cabin and waited. Jim and Bill stole close to the cabin and waited and listened. 'AWell, you all know what you arc to do nowf' they heard the voice of Cratty say, HTom, you take Dick and Jack and get that counterfeit money across the mountains. The rest of you kill young Montgomeryf any place and any way you canf, When the men came out of the cabin, they were greeted with the words f'Hands up and were quickly handcuffed. A few days later, Jim had the satisfaction of hearing the judge pronounce life sentence on Cratty for murder, attempted murder, and for passing counterfeit money. 14- THE SENIOR .MAGNET A Happy Ending FANNIE FBLDSTEIN Betty Endicott walked into the library, slumped disconsolately into the easy chair and sat gazing at the book lined walls 'fMammy,l' she call- ed, 'fhas the mail arrived yet T' 'fYes, Miss Betty, honeyf' drawlled the cheerful looking negro woman who appeared at the door, I put it on the desk, and she stood there look- ing fondly at the girl dressed in riding togs. About five feet, four inches, she was with a school girl complex- ion that was the envy of her social companions. Expressive brown eyes, black curly hair and her two even rows of pearly teeth describe the girl. Betty glanced at the several enve- lopes there, all very apparently per- sonal correspondence, and frowned. Mammy darlingf' she said ser- iously, wif that check does not soon appear, we will have to go on a diet, for lack of necessary finance. f'Lawsy, Miss Betty, you couldn't go on a diet, lau.ghed Mammy, Hyou all wouldn't be just right if you be- gan to get thin. You know when Miss Smith comes down from New York, she always wishes that she was just right like you aref, 'fWell, if she would diet a little, answered Betty, Hit would improve her appearance, but there would be a great deal of a difference between that sort of a diet and starving. Well, I guess I'll have to write to Mr. Cadman and ask him to attend to this, in fact, she continued, I think, I'll wire him. - Shortly afterward she appeared in a chic gray ensemble suit, hat and gloves, and her roadster matched in color perfectly, that when she stepped on the gas, as she was fond of doing, one could hardly distinguish the driv- er from the car in the gray streak that literally flew dowln the road. f'Why, Jack Forrester! she ex- claimedas she stopped at the tele- graph office. Hello, Bettyf' greeted a tall clean cut and very good looking young fel- low, What's all the rush about 7' Nothing in particular, Jack, I just have to send a telegram, but tell me, when did you arrive and why haven't I heard from you ? I just arrived on business and was going to call you immediately. You see that was even more impor- tant than my business reasonf, How nicel Wait until I send this telegram and then we can talk. You see,H she continued teasingly, my whole life depends on thisf' 'fWell, wfell, you might tell an old friend all about it, after all I didn't spend a number of years studying law for nothing, even if I did spend a lot of my time, pursuing a certain co-ed. You see Bettyf, he explained, f'You were so popular and there was so much competitionf' But he grew more and more serious as Betty explained that the dividends from the stocks, in which her father had almost his entire fortune, had been delayed several times lately, and that this month's check had not ar- rived at all. Not only that, but in looking up the papers in the book en- closed safe, she found that some of them were missing. Betty insisted that no one could possibly have found the safe and that she herself must have mislaid them. But Jack was afraid that someone had taken them and asked to see the safe. Of course lVIammy was above sus- picion and so perhaps were the two ll THE SENIOR .MAGNET 15 negro servants, but someone had taken those papers, so .lack searched Betty's personal property, but no papers were found. As it was almost impossible for anyone to have taken the papers, Jack offered to stop and see Mr. Cadman when he went north and so the matter was dropped and they enjoyed his stay thoroughly. When Jack entered Mr. Cadmanls home in Philadelphia, it was suppose- ly a friendly visit. Mr. Cadman had been a very good friend of Mr. Endi- cott and Betty trusted hirnimplicitly. Jack was informed that Mr. Cadman was expected home in a fewi moments and he was asked to wait in the library. Jack began to look around the library while waiting for Mr. Cad- man to return and while crossing the room, he accidently bumped the cor- ner of the desk chair with his foot and much to his surprise a small drawer appeared miraculously from the seat of the chair. As Jack was abou.t to shut the drawer, he noticed Betty's name on the uppermost paper, and as the name of the company was the same as that of the firm which Betty's missing papers were from, Jack took them, and sure enough they were apparently the missing papers. just then Mr. Cadman drove up the drive-way. Jack put the papers in his pocket and closed the secret draw- er. When Mr. Cadman entered the room, Jack was reading the daily newspaper. Because of Betty's trust in Mr. Cadman, Jack was utterably surpris- ed when Cadman politely refused to do anything about the delayed check, because of the missing papers. 'fKnowing her servants as you do Mr. Cadman from your frequent trips down there, do you believe the servants might be responsible for the papers disappearing ? No, Mr. Forrester, replied Cad- man, I do not, Mammy is trusted implicity and l hardly think the other two have the necessary intelligencefl Then he ushered Jack to the door. While Jack got home, he sent sev- eral wires and called personally to see some men connected with a cer- tain stock company. He settled him- self to wait for the answer. At Jack's suggestion, Betty made Tom, the town outcast, confess to stealing the papers for Mr. Cadman who had offered him a certain amount of money. Betty did not want Mr. Cadman punished for he probably would never want to do that sort of thing again. Then Jack arranged to have a plane to take him south so that he might explain personally just wfhy it was necessary for Betty to become Mrs. Jack Forrester. Jack thought that he could explain matters satis- factorily and evidently he succeeded, for twlo months later Betty went home with him as Mrs. Jack For- rester. l 16 THE SENIOR Mia! GNET Revenge Is Sweet ALFRED PATTERSON Paul Lease heaved a sigh as he crawled into bed. He heard the clock in the library strike twelve and was delighted with the thought of eight hours sleep with pleasant dreams. The night was cold, in fact, very cold for late February. Paul was aroused from his sleep by the sound of the telephone. He was alone in the house, the family having gone to the country for the week-end. The phone continued ringing, and Paul lay wondering what to do. Finally, he jumped from his warm bed to the cold Hoor, snatched a robe and slipped into bedroom slip- pers and was soon at the telephone. Hello, said Paul. Hello, said a male voice on the other end of the line. 'iSay, Paul, this is Ted. I'm down at the depot, having just arrived on the one-thirty flyer. I have called home and can't arouse anyone. As I have extra bag- gage along, I thought you might drive down for me. HI sure will, replied Pauly just wait and I'1l be right dow-n. Back upstairs went Paul, shivering a little more at every step. Hurriedly, he dressed, but with delight because he liked TedU and would do almost anything for him. Ted Vane was one of Long- ville's Upolished gentlemen, who had been engaged in advertising in Los Angeles for several years. He was a good friend of Paul's when in Long- ville. Paul was in the garage making every effort possible to start the en- gine of his somewhat dilapidated Ford. Vigorously, he struggled, but in vain, so he decided to walk. Out into the cold he went, strong winds blowing against his cheeks. Honk, honk, he stepped back to avoid the approaching wheels of an automobile. Slipping and sliding he hurried on. At last he reached the station but there was no Ted', in view. He looked around, walked arou.nd and waited patiently, but still no 'fTed appeared. He was wondering what to do when a volley of snowballs, ac- companied by shouts of laughter, struck him. Quickly, he decided what to do: go home, the joke was on him-and how? Back in his warm bed, he wondered why anybody would do a trick like that on him. Well, he would be quiet about it and perhaps he would be able to find the guilty one, or ones. No one Urazzedl' him the follow- ing days and Paul was afraid it was going to be impossible to find Hhis manf' He received a letter from Los Angeles, from 'fTed,'y saying that he would be in Longville for a monthis vacation, arriving about the middle of March. As the fellows were assembled in the poolroom one night, Stiff Ber- ger said to Paul, I heard that 'fTed was in town. Have you seen him ? A few of the fellows snickered, and Paul knew- at that moment that he had found Hhis man. His only thought was Revenge.U He answered Stiff'l by telling him that it was hardly so, as he had had a letter from him that day. When Ted arrived in Longville, the second person to greet him was Paul. 'fCome up for dinner tomor- row eveningf' said Paul. HI need a friend so 1'm taking you into my confidencef' THE SENIOR ZWAGNET 17 HThanks, Paul, you surely know a good friend when youlve met himf' The following evening found Mr. and lllrs. Lease, Paul and Tedl' in the dining-room of the Lease home, enjoying a delicious dinner prepared by Mrs. Lease. After dinner Paul and Ted adjourned to Paulls room where he quickly and quietly told told 'fTed', what happened on said night. Although HTed felt sorry for Paul, he couldnlt refrain from laughing. They both laughed and con- sidered it a pretty good joke. i'But, f'Ted, I can't understand why 'tStiff would do it. 'iWell, Paul, you know Stiffl' al- ways was jealous of your remarkably good looks. lt was true, Paul was good look- ing. He was short and slender and had very fine features. An olive com- plexion, large brown eyes, and beauti- ful teeth. His black hair, with its firmly set waves, was the envy of both boys and girls alike. All Longville's younger set were reioicing over bids received for the Chin Chinners Ball which was to be held at the town's leading dance hall. Stiff Berger approached Ted Vane. 'KCan you-get me a date for the dance, HTed ?l' UHow's this, old man? Two girls are coming from Los Angeles for this dance. I had intended to take one of them and let Paul take the otherg but he told me that he has accepted a new position and will leave the first of the month. Now, that means that you can take the other Miss. 'iShake on it, 'iTed,,' that's fine, said UStiff. VVhen the day of the dance arrived, Paul stayed at Ted's, in order to keep secluded from all eyes. K'Ted's cousin Emily arrived from Dayton to accompany Ted to the dance. She was not known in Longville, this be- ing her first appearance there. The details of the plot were related to her and everyone anxiously awaited night. At nine o'clock, a Buick Sedan drove up to Vanels door. From it emerged Stiff, who looked good enough for any dame. This same car drove away carrying a young lady, two young men and another man im- personating a woman. She dances divinely, thought Stiff,l' and talks so sweetly. Her boyish bob was the most becoming one there. HAnd they call you Polly,', sa'id Stiff as he danced gaily on holding this lovely creature. Stiffl' displayed his selfishness on this particular night by dancing almost every dance with Polly. They drove home and 'fStiffH was so happy that nothing mattered now. When he was departing, he asked if he might not have one of her cards. Gladly, she drew one from her pu.rse and handed it to him. Then it was goodnight, HP o l l y,'l Hgoodnight, Stiff.l' Both were gone. 'tSriff'y Berger turned on the light in his bedroom and from his pocket he drew a card on which he had im- planted a kiss while on the journey home. This card read Mr. Paul Lease, 670 Eighth Ave. He turned it over and 'AREVENGE IS SVVEETH greeted him. 18 THE SENIOR ZWAGNET Misplacecl Trust ETHEL AMMON Help! Helpli' Had he been dreaming or was that really a cry of distress? HHelp! help! -the choking cry was repeated and with one bound Ted was out of bed and standing by the open window. The cry had seem- ed to come from outside. Silence-I Perhaps his nerves al- ready overtaxed by events of the day before, were playing tricks on him. In the tense silence that fol- lowed the cries, Ted hastily dressed, his thoughts meanwghile retracing, with lightning speed, the events of that terrible day. Bob Sloan, his next door neighbor, and lifelong friend couldn,t have done it! Tied couldn't believe it. And yet-Bob and his father had quarreledg the cause Ted didnlt know, couldn't find out. Bob had simply came over very late, two nights ago, told Ted he was leaving home on account of a quarrel with his father, wrung Ted's hand in fare- well, and was gone. There had been tears in his eyes-and Ted, bewilder- ed, felt a sympathetic mistiness about his own. And then, the next morning, a frightened and incoherent Mrs. Shane, the Sloans housekeeper, ran over, and, wrhite and shaking, told them that when she had found Mr. Sloan-here her tears and moans in- terrupted the story-lying on the Hoor in the living room. He was dead-she knew he was dead- wouldnit they come over and see+ Help! The cry weaker now, came again. In bedroom slippers instead of shoes, Ted paddled noiselessly down- stairs, and in a moment was at the low hedge separating the Sloan yard from his own. Undoubtedly the cry had come from there. Vaulting over the hedge, he ran to the house, and then realizing that he was unarmed, his natural impulsiveness gave way to caution. Everything was dark. His heart in his throat, he nimbly and very cautiously climbed the porch railing, and choosing a dark spot, crept cau- tiously around to the front door, in- tending to open it-and then-the light in the living room flared up! Without any more hesitation, he rushed into the hall, and there stood Bob Sloan, surveying, with the ut- most satisfaction, the work of his hands. At his feet-bound and gag- ged lay an exhausted and battered figure whom Ted recognized as Mr, Sloan's secretary. AKWhat the-? How-? When did you come back ?', gasped the as- tounded Ted, his words tumbling over each other in his amazement. I came home this evening-found the house dark and still-not a soul around. Supposing every one in bed, and too worn out to even bother go- ing upstairs, I stretched out here on the davenport and must have fallen asleep. Anyway, something woke me, and then I saw a little point of light wandering over Dad's desk-a Hash- light held by a dark shadow-that fel- low there,H kicking him with his foot. Then he must have been- be- gan Ted. He was,'l interrupted Bob. 6'VVell. l just gave one jump, and landed on him. I guess I was pretty rough, be- cause he yelled loud enough to waken the dead. He musthave thought I was Dad, and been off his head or something, for between yells,-he kept THE SENIOR MAGNET 19 muttering, I didn't mean to kill you, Mr. Sloan-I just meant to take the money and go, but when you came downstairs and caught me, I just had to hit you, with my gun-I didn't mean to kill you -and then he'd yell again. It was simple to hold him down, he was trembling all over, so I jerked down some of these ropes, to tie him with, and switched on the light, and then you came in. But where are Dad and Mr. Sloan? Sure- ly they couldnlt have slept through the noise ? Then Ted told him that his father was in the hospital ,seriously wound- ed, having been hit on the head with some heavy instrument--that the doc- tor's said he would recover, the shock being worse than the injury, and that he'd spoken just three coherent words, Bob was right! Oh, poor Dad, said, Bob, his voice husky. That brute shall go to prison for this, I haven't trusted him from the Hrst, but Dad did, and kept putting his money and valuable papers in that old desk over there. Of course he, indicating the figure at his feet, Uknew all about it. Dad trusted him w.ith every thing. Then, day before yesterday, Dad missed a lot of money and accused me of taking it. That was the last straw! That guy there, in the house, and me accused of stealing the money. Well, I told Dad that I was through, and wouldn't come back as long as this bird stayed. And then I got to Worrying, because Dad is old and has always been so good to me, and so I came back. He stopped, chocked, and then went on. L'Ted, old boy, would you mind tak- ing me over to the hospital, and this to jail?,' But Ted was already out of the house, and it seemed but a moment till the Chug-Chugf' of his battered Ford died awiay in the distance, leav- ing the street silent once more, and unaware that it was minus one ftrust- ed secretary'. 20 THE SENIOR M24 GNET The Song of Love CHARLES MCCAFFERTY Applesaucely' growled the man op- posite me. Now what, Billy. I asked, idly. f'Aphasia,y' he answered, handing me the paper he had been scanning, and continued, f'You know. Man loses memory-found wandering days later and all that. I think its just a handy excuse for men seeking to avoid home troubles, or to escape their creditors, or some such- 'KHold on, there!

I w.asn't in debt a cent and I certainly wasnyt married when-U f'Jove! he muttered, a troubled remembrance coming into his eyes, Grant, I forgot. Iim sorry and I apologize. No one doubted your sin- cerity, I least of all. A few words of explanation are necessary here. While flying in France during the war, I was shot down. Fortunately, I suffered only a severe blow on the head. The trouble resulted from this blow. Upon re- covering consciousness, I found the past a blank. However, I had fallen behind our own lines, and being well taken care of and sent home to fa- miliar friends and surroundings, I had in time completely recovered my mem- ory, as I then thought. It was this matter which had momentarily arous- ed me and which I now realized he had forgotten. I was about to tell him so, when VVillis Crane, the third member of our party, and hitherto silent, spoke up. I have a story to tell,', he said, while handing the near- est waiter a note, Hand I want you to listen. 'fBack in 1918,,'he began, 'fa young aviator had been granted a few days 'PH official leave. Wearied from partici- pation in the thoughtless, useless slaughter and destruction going on about him, he sought distraction by spending his leave in the south of France where the war's immediate presence did not make itself feltf' At the word aviator I had glanced up, sharply, suspecting I scarcely know what, but as his story continued I felt my interest begin to wrane. To the best of my knowledge, I had never been in southern France. f Ifhere in the south, my comrades voice droned on, yet with some qual- ity in it preventing monotony, he found his distraction by falling in love with a French girl of the better class who appeared to return this love. How far matters had gone, l can't say. At this mention of the eternal feminine, my spirit groaned aloud. I say this literally, for unconsciously I had uttered a cynical sigh. Recently since my return from France, I had had such an unaccountable aversion for most women that I was known as a women hater and had become a sub- ject for comment among my acquain- tances. My companions were aware of this characteristic. I sensed their glances fall upon me but the trend of the story remained unbroken. They were together constantly throughout his leave, Crane con- tinued, Hhe afterwards told me about it upon his return. But he seemed to he concealing something. I don't think he told me the whole story. At any rate, he returned from leave and within a week had been brought down in combat. 'His handling of his crip- pled plane is still a matter of discus- sion among members of that squadron. THE SENIOR MAGNET 21 His skill was rewarded. He escaped with only a crushed-in side and a rather nasty crack on the head. The complete loss of his memory Cwihich you donlt believe in, Billyj resulted from this bump on the head. How- ever, given every care and sent home to familiar surroundings, in time, he apparently recovered. I found myself erect and grasping the table's edge in the realization, with these last words, that for some reason he was bringing my story into his narration. 'lCurse the fellow! I thought K'What's his object? And then I thought I knew. With some far fetched moral to drive home and to make it more impressive he was mixing my story in with incidents drawn from his own fertile imagina- tion. CHe was a fairly successful dramatistj. But why apparently re- covered? Could it be that-no, I would not allow myself to think of it and so I concluded that this 'was part of the fiction. I would have liked to treat the whole matter as a joke, but somehow his strange story held my interest so that I could not. His story took up a new trend. This brings us, he continued, 'Ito aviator one evening last year. The was dining in this very room. Com- pletely recovered, apparently, yet seized wiith some strange he was discon- tent. Some vague idea that hovered in the back of his mind, refusing to become a thought, was always with him and troubled him with thoughts that perhaps all was still not well. I was present that night, too. A strange thing happened. The orchestra be- gan to play 'fThe Song of Love from the operetta 'KBlossom Time. You know the piece. VVhile casually hum- ming the melody to myself, my gaze happened to fall upon the aviator. Thunderstruck at his expression, I stopped humming. He seemed to be moved by some strange force. I know now that his truant memory was trying to give him some clue from his past. The struggle was mirrored in his face. As the orches- tra neared the finish, one could see that he had almost grasped it. The idea Hitted elusively in his head for a moment, and then, with success seem- ingly assured, the song ended. And in the same moment the thought, so eagerly struggled for, escaped him. He leaped wildly to his feet and dash- ed blindly out into the night, cursing to himself, strange, vibrant oaths dreadful to hear. The narrator paused for a mom- ent, then went quickly on. 'fOnce more in this room I saw another strange event occur, with the same character and same motive force. Once again I sat here and watched that unhappy man struggle to master his lagging memory while the strains of that beautiful melody spread through the room. And again I saw its conclusion leave the puzzle un- solved. But this time a strange con- tentment surrounded him. Not curs- ing now, but dreamy-eyed, and hatless and coatless, he walked unheedingly out into the snowy night. And in some strange manner I sensed that he knew the same event must sometime occur again and that the next time victory would be his. The dramatist stopped abruptly. Billyls query showed in his eyes be- fore it reached his lips. YVas the story ended? I was too concerned with my own conflicting emotions to heed the answer. I, too, had questions to ask, but questions which I could not- which I dare not ask even of myself! His description of my feelings when that beautiful song was played-for only too plainly was he dealing with me now. How had he known? And why was he telling this story? What was its-here I stopped, with some vague dread of following this train of thought further. I emerged from a state of semi-coma into which my . 22 THE SENIOR MAGNET thoughts had plunged me to become aware that Billy was asking the ques- tion I had so dreaded to put. What was the story's meaning? But Crane merely raised his hand as if to signal, and said, 'fWaitl And then stealing softly through the room there came- the sweet re- frain of 'The Song of Lovef' And suddenly I knew. I knew! Memory's dam had broken and had caught me in its Hood.

How he must have wondered at first, then suspicioned the truth, and finally become con- vinced, and now his conveying the truth to me by his story and the song he had signalled for when Billy's thoughtless remarks had offered such a wonderful opening. I attempted to put something of what I felt into speech. But as I looked into their eyes, I saw that there was no need. I read in them only glorious understanding. So for a third time the aviatoi rushed from that door into the shelter- ing dark. For I knew Laurette would be waiting and I felt her spirit calling mine.

QIn memory of my old friend J.J.G, THE SENIOR IMAGNET 23 My Brother Tom Pun. MENDEL Strictly speaking, I never had a brother Tom, but still I cannot say that Tom was an imposter. He came into existence in a curious way. The first I heard of Tom was at James's house. James and I were very fast friends. I used to invite myself up to his house for supper almost every other night. Although James never let on that he was delighted to have me for supper, after my sixth or seventh visit, I knew just the same that he was glad to be honored with my companionship. Every week or so, I would bring a loaf of bread, oyster crackers, or even after dinner mintsf, Not only that, but I would always entertain James's wife while he would wash and dry the dishes. Now to get back to the story-O, yes I was saying that the first time I heard of Tom was while I was eating sup- per with James one evening. He said that he had lunch that day with a man who knew my brother Tom. Not having any brother but Jim, I thought that James had mistaken the name. Oh, no,', James said, he spoke of Jim, too. Even this did not convince me so I asked for the man's name. f'Sucupp, James replied. 'fHe met your brothers Tom and Jim at 'a cabaret in Pittsburgh about ten years agof' Then I remembered Sucupp, I dis- tinctly recall meeting Sucu.pp. It was at that famous old cabaret at the corner of Main and Jefferson Streets in the good old days before prohibition. He was calling me Tom all evening. I explained the mistake to James, and for the time being the matter was settled. However, I had by no means heard the last of Tom. Several times afterwards I heard from various people 'that Sucupp wanted to meet me because he knew my brother Tom. At last we did meet, at the Sterling Club, and as soon as he saw me, he asked me where Tom was now. This was exactly what I feared. I am a man who always looks like a boy. There are few peo- ple in Butler that retained their boy- ish appearance as long as I have done. Sucupp said that when he met Tom, he was about the age at which I am now. Right then and there I could have cleared up everything, but un- fortunately for myself I hate enter- ing upon explanation to any body about anything. Besides I had just finished that dance with my best girl and was feeling a hundred percent active. I figured that there was no chance of meeting him again, so the easiest way to get rid of him seemed to be to humor him. I told Sucupp, Tom was in Africa, married, had fl large family, and was doing well. 'fRemember me to Tom when you write, was Sucuppys last remark. , As we shook hands and bade each other good-bye, Red Parker and his Night Hawks were playing that late song hit, 'fGood-bye Foreverfy There's a great deal of truth in that songf' I remarked to myself as I was leaving the club. Lord'y knows when Illl see him again. A few weeks later some-one tapped me on the shoulder in front of Israels. It was Sucupp. 'Heard anything from Tom ?l' he asked. He caught me by surprise and I told him I had heard from Tom in this mornings mail. 24 THE SENIOR IHA GNET 'lAnything particular in the let- ter?', returned Sucupp. I thought it wou ld not do to say that nothing particular was in a let- ter that came all the so I said that Tom ble with his wife. that she was sick.

'Tm sorry to hear that-Poor old Tom! I suppose by this divorce. How abou time he has his t the children ? Uh, the children- I muttered trying to hold back the answer as long as possible so I could be able to think up something to tell him that would sound real, Mare-Lare com- ing. to California. To stay with Jim ? he asked. I thought that was as good as any, so I said, Yes, Jim is expecting them either today or tomorrowifl At this Sucupp went away mutter- ing 'APoor Tom! Poor old Tom! and such a nice fellowll' I was hoping that this would be the last time that I would ever see or hear of Sucuppg but no such luck. In a month or so we met again. No word of Tom's getting leave of absence?', questioned Sucupp. I replied, that Tom had gone to Alaska to hunt for gold, and that he would not be home till he had struck it rich. CI thought that ought to be enough to hold Sucupp for awhile,J and at this I started to go away, but he pulled me back, saying, HI suppose you are angry because I told James about Tom's wife running away from him. The fact is, I did it for your own good. You see I happened to be speaking to James and told him about Tom, and he said there was no such person. Of course I just laughed at that and informed James that I had the pleasure of meeting Tom at the cabaret, and that you and I always talked about him when we met. James remarked that this was very peculiar because you told him that Jim was the only brother you had. I saw then that you wanted to conceal the existence of Tom, so I thought the best thing to do was to tell him that you felt very badly about Tom's trouble and naturally in the circum- stances you did not want to talk about Tom. I gave Sucupp a mighty handshake, saying that he had acted wisely, but I could have stabbed him in the back at the same time. I didn't see Sucupp for a long time, but one day he wrote to me saying, that a friend of his was going to Alaska, and that he would be very much indebted to me if I wou.ld be so kind as to give him Tom's address. I wrote back and said that I was very sorry, for Tom was going from one place to another, and at the present time I did not know of his where abouts. The next time I heard of Sucupp was from James who informed me, that Sucupp had gone to California. 'What part of California ?', I ask- ed. Golden City, was James answer. I trembled, for Golden City was where Jim lives. What has taken him there? I asked nervously. James replied that he thought it was on business, but, he added Sucupp told me to tell you that he meant to call on Jim as he was anxious to see Tom's children. A few. days later I received a tele- gram from Jim, who generally uses this means of communication when he corresponds with me. Do you know a man by name of Sucupp? Reply was what Jim said. Jim always had an even ten words in his telegrams, although he had to stay awake several nights to do so. THE SENIOR IWAGNET 25 I thought of met a man by several years consideration Know no About two answering that we had that name in Pittsburgh ago. But after some I replied boldly: one of that name. weeks ago Sucupp pass- ed me while I was standing in front of the Main Drug Store, and scowled at me. I could easily have borne this, but I was informed that Sucupp was now telling every one about Tom's wiife. By and by I got a letter from an old friend of Jim's asking if there was any truth in a report that Jim was going to Alaska to see Tom, and that he was also very sorry to hear about Tom's trou- ble. In short I saw that the time had come for killing Tom, or for my leaving town. So I told James that Tom had received a job as a deep sea diver, and about a week ago he dove after a dime which a lady had drop- ped while standing on the board- walk, and hasn't been heard of since. He is deeply mourned by everyone even by his divorced wife, and re- member, James, be sure and tell Sucupp who had always been so in- terested in Tomls welfare. I met James in the street the other day, and he told me that he had told Sucupp the sad news. How did he take it ? I inquired. Well, James said, Hhe told me that when he was up in Golden City he did not get along well with Jim, and as to Tom's children, he express- ed a great curiosity. HThe children were drowned on the way over, a sad affair we can't bear to talk of it! I replied. I am not likely to see much of Sucupp again, nor will Jim. Sucupp now goes around saying that Tom was the only one of us he really had any time for. -- The Soul's Confession When seated in your parlor, while the lights are dim ana' low, I softly swear I lofue you, while my arms about you go,' You all my soul with ecstasy, you rnalee my spirits soar, Iihazfe a vague suspicion, that I used the word adore,- You tell me not to hope too much, that you may change your mind, You warn me I may woo in vain, you tell me love is blindj But lady, I must ask you, be the fu- ture what it may, Unless I live the present, were I fool enough to stay Clara Bow's Understudy. 26 THE SENIOR MAGNET In The Future RUSSELL F.

At the same time it is hoped that the culprits may be de- tected for the sake of science, and the advancement of aviation. So far no clue as to the escape or identification of the men has been found.

This remark came from a man with a long scar on his left cheek.

Well, by the looks of this piece in the paper, I guess we did throw them off the track, didn't we?'l said the other occupant of the cabin. Yes, but they won't be off the track very long when someone like Jerry Sullivan starts to investigate our radio controlled airplane. You know how he stopped our rum runner by sending out a counteracting wave, and about the first thing helll do will be to bring down the plane when he-finds out that it has no pilot, 'then he'll get the information welsend in the plane and the jig will be up.', 'KI know' he's a slick boy and we'li have to look out for him, but let's turn in and get some rest this morn- ing before we leave.

When Wakefield fell, he had hard- ly lost consciousness until he was pick- ed up by a policeman wiho had seen him fall, and, knowing him, at once knew the cause. He was taken home where he regained consciousness a short time later to ask if any news had been received of the plans. He was told that there had not but that police were working on the case. Wakefield who had now regained his full strength went to the radio telephone and set it for Jerry Sulli- van's wavelength. In just a second a red light showed that Jerryls phone was ringing, then as Jerry took down the receiver, his picture flashed on a small screen in front of Wakefield. suppose, said Wakefield, you have seen the morning papers.

HI'll be over at your place in half an hour, Charlie said Jerry and hung up. One half hour later Jerfry and VVakefield sat in a little room in the radio towier of YVakefield's plant. VVakefield sat eagerly watching the sky while Jerry worked feverishly with a small transmitter. Got it set up yet, Jerry? ques- tioned Wakefield anxiously, still look- ing out of the window.

It might be said here that Wake- field was not the only inventor, for Jerry had patented this apparatus for counteracting the wave control of all radio controled vehicles and that the entire wavelength band from 0 to 50,000 meters, the highest possible wavelength, could be covered in five minutes. 'fListen, Jerry, said Wakefield, UI,ll watch it from here while you cover it with the counteracting wave, and, when I see it change its course, I'll tell you and you can make it land just inside the fence of the plant, there is plenty of room. i'All right, said Jerry. Both men were silent while Wake- field watched and Jerry worked the controls. The plane drew nearer and as Wakefield watched it, it dipped quickly to one side but was straight- ened out by the control pilot. Wake- field, not sure that this deviation was due to Jerry's transmitter, said noth- ing, but when a second dip w'as noticed, he ordered Jerry to hold itf, Jerry did so and immediately the plane began going in a circle. Youlve got it, Jerry, said Wake- field. 'iyou can land it nowf, 'KFine! said Jerry and at once be- gan to bring the plane in. Quick, Joe, they've got the plane and theylll have us, too, if we don't snap out of it,l' said the man with the scar on his cheek. 'fOh, no, you don't, spoke a voice over their shoulder. Both men started and looked around into the face of a uniformed official of the law. mXVell I'1l be-J' exclaimed the 28 THE SENIOR MAGNET scarred checked man. f'All right, Jerry, you've got it down all right, now let us see what is in it. I've had my suspicions all along, said Wakefield. 'ANO sooner said than done, ex- claimed Jerry, and both decended to where the plane had landed. Hjust as I expectedlu said Wake- field, Had it all planned to make a getaway after they had stolen my plans. Had their hangout in the old cabin outside the city, but fortunate- ly I had the place surrounded by police before I called you, and sent word to them as soon as you had the plane under control. I suppose they are shut up in jail by now. Well, I must say, you didn't wiaste any time in getting them! ex- claimed Jerry. This morning you came into town, picked up a paper and discovered that your plant had been entered and your plans stoleng this afternoon you have your plans safe and the culprits in jail. How do you do, gentlemen P said a voice behind them, and turning around they faced two young men. Well, Jack and Tom Clairton, how are you boys? said Wakefield. 'fjust fine, spoke up Jack, 'fbut we're having a little trouble with our new plane. Whatl you boys building a plane? You're not the fellows that have been keeping it such a secret are you ? 'fYes, wie areg you see we were a little short on the money end and we thought maybe if we would com- bine our ideas, a great plane would be the result. So it would, boys, said Wake- field, and here Iive been blaming you boys all the time for stealing my plans, not knowing who you wereg but I know you boys would not do any thing like that. No, Mr. Wakefieldf' said Tom, Wie heard as we came past the court house that the men you captured had confessed to being employed by some firm in Europe that is building a plane, to steal your plans. Well, they'll get all thatls coming to them said Wakefield, Thank you for helping me, jerry, I never could have done it myself. 'fThat,s O. K. said Jerry, always glad to help a friend. By the way, I forgot to shut off the counteracting wave when we landed this thing, I'll go and do it nowf' All right, said Wakefield, and the group started toward the office. Jerry went and shut off the current, a lound report followed and pieces of the plane were throwin high into the air. HWell, can you beat thatli' exclaim- ed Jerry, they've had that explosive set to go off if the plane was molested in any way, and only my counteract- ing wave kept it from going off. Well, that's the end of the crooks and their plane, said Wakefield, Come boys, let us see to the plans for combining our planes. THE SENIOR .MA GNET Farewell Farewell! Farewell! dear B. H. S.

Why not get together and form a pep club to keep the ball rolling and add to the fun? Nothing impresses like a snap- py cheer from a Well-organized group. As many of the club as possi- ble would go to out-of-town games, too. As a suggestion, let the club be composed of about an even number of girls and boys. Candidates for mem- bership might be required to contri- bute an original cheer. Such a plan is a sure cure for ragged cheering. A FEW THINGS OUR SCHOOL NEEDS I will try to enumerate in the fol- lowing paragraphs a few things that our high school needs. These are things that a number of the present Seniors have noticed and commented on. On leaving Butler High School, I would like to leave a fewr sugges- tions that would, in my estimation, better the school. First, a high school band would be an addition that would make us rank in that department as New Castle, Wilkinsburg, and many other of our rivals. just imagine a smartly dress- ed band, if such a thing is possible, marching up Main street and then down to the Athletic field on the day we are playing Wilkinsburg. Second, a debating team. VVe should have a team to represent our school and also a team for each class for class rivalry. Other high schools as Grove City and numerous others have teams and it would be an easy matter to arrange a debate with the teams of other schools. The ability and willingness is not lacking among the student body. If one of the facul- ty started something towards this end, a well represented team could be formed. Robert Kamerer -B.H.S.-- Out of the 1700 students of B. H. S. we certainly have some persons who can portray life on the stage as it really is and not as it is acted by many players. Now, why could we not organize a Dramatic Club for the purpose of acquainting the students with some of the best plays. It would certainly develop our talent and our senior plays would he something to be proud of as our plays of the past have been. Many things could be presented in chapel period that would urge the students to higher enthusiasm. The chief affection would be neglect of school work but I believe that the experience gained in self- expression and concentration would tend to make the work easier. High schools with even a smaller student body than ous have fine Dramatic clubs, why not us. Clifford Dick. THE SENIOR ZWAGNET 55 After Graduation XVhat do most graduates from High School do after graduation? I won- der if we ever ask ourselves that question. Do we go through school and get an education, only to throw it at the Wind and never really ac- complish anything worth While? Everyone going to school should have a definite aim in mind and try to attain that goal. Have we been profiting from lVIr. Gibson's talks in chapel? YVe should, for he talked not to hear himself but to try and make us be more serious in our work. VVhy not strike out for ourselves and put over something big? Go by the old Prophecy if at first you don't succeed, try, try againfl Lillian Dumbaugh I THE SENIOR MAGNET Autugraphn THE SENIOR .MA GNET Gilman THE SEYIOR 1 1 Most Popular Girl january IQ28 Class Of Most Popular Bo THE SENIOR IVIAGNET 57 Class History The first glimpse High School had of this illustrious class was about four years ago when we, all dressed up in our best bibs and tuckers, marched solemnly up the west stairs and thence we groped our way into the auditorium. There we sat spell- bound. On the stage we beheld, first of all. Professor Irvine. After we Hnished gazing at him we saw in succession members of the faculty and last but not least the A Senior Class in all its glory. So many things happened in the course of the morning that few of them made an impression on our youthful craniums, however, one thing we noticed, Mr. Irvine, or Bucky, as we later learned to call him, expostulated after giving a num- ber of a selection, read in unison, all togetherf' Also we have noticed that ever since that memorable day HBucky', continued to announce-- read in unisonu etc. When we were Freshmen we didnlt know much about the rules of the school, etc. In other words we were rather green. We were very easily frightened by the teachers es- pecially Miss Purvis. No, we weren't so intelligent as to know her right name but we heard of her as f'Pinkie, and in those days we believed all we heard. We were considered excellent singers when we were Freshies, tho' now the fires of genius burn low. YVe had been in Hi-School only a matter of a few weeks, when, at George Bob Wick's request, we honored the School by singing 'fLove's Old Sweet Song. Qur Sophomore years passed quick- ly. Our trying days as 'iFreshies'l were past and long forgotten. VVe no longer took the high and mighty Seniors seriously, wihen they instruct- ed us to be sure to use the front stairway. or the Helevatorf' XVell, as I said before, those days passed quickly. YVhen we were Juniors we were put around the corner next to the Seniors. Just to edu.cate us to the higher life which we have attained at last. Our Junior year was our hard- est, climbing over the stiffest of studies and attaining only the lowest of grades. Ch, we all wieren't like this, because some of us were natural- ly intelligent. A few of us .dropped into the abyss known as failure, but with some hot work during the sum- mer we succeeded in regaining our balance. Anyhow, we are here! Well the story is almost finished, and I know our readers wiill be sad because one doesn't read so excellent a manuscript as this every day. Well, to continue about us, for we are the subect of this write-up. Don'r think we arenlt serious, because we are. VVell-when we had attained enough dignity, and enough marks and enough Senior bad departure, we were allowed to move such valuable possessions as ourselves to 216 and 217. My, but Miss Brier and Miss Schattschneider were delighted at our appearance. You know they adore Seniors because they are so well be- haved. When we became A seniors. we couldn't understand why we weren't invited back but we learned later that Miss McNees and Miss McKee simply fought for us for our last semetser. We know they didn't appreciate us as they should have, but we wiill forgive and leave them. Well, time grows short. and so does space, so 'tfafe thee well. 58 THE SENIOR MAGNET -AND PERHAPS ON BROAD- VVAY FEATURING- Betty Gumpper and Eddie Schneider in What's Wrong with Lovefl Atlee Hall and Bud Riddle in 'iFriendly Enemiesf, Philip Mendel and Charles Witt in A'Rural Heroesf' Rue Gregg and Sally Fleeger in HThe Gold Dust Twins.

Another fact that is helping the orchestra is the four days a week activity period. This gives the orchestra four practices a week instead of the two that it had in former years. The dividing of the orchestra into two groups, the Senior under the leadership of Jos. Schoier and the Junior under the lead- ership of Miss Kramer, is also a great help because Mr. Schoier can spend his time on a few of the better players and can in this way get better results. The orchestra gave an excellent example of its ability in Chapel the other morning. Also it plays at all the Senior plays giving an inter- esting program before the play com- mences and between acts. , If the orchestra improves as much each semester as it has this last sem- ester, it ought to be one of the best in this part of the country in a few semesters. -B.H.s.- CLASS NIGHT Class night was presented in a very different manner in comparison with the other previous programs. They started out with their usual orches- tral selection followed by our presi- dent's speech after the class had sung one of their songs nobly sung. Then the fun started which consisted of a French, Roman and English play all spoken in their respective language. This unique presentation proved that our class is just another example of quality not quantity. Mr. Cummings and Ruth Keefer then presented the donors following which the class again rendered one of our high opera songs and Class Night was over with another orchestral selection. THIS SENIOR MA GNET THE SENIOR MAGNET T 61 A Lucky Break A Lucky Break, a farce comedy presented by the A Seniors and other members of the school under the di- rection of Miss Reed, was enthusias- tically received on December l and 2. Three mirthfu.l acts kept the ribs of the audience shaking through- out each performance. The town of Matasquam, Con- necticut, was aroused from its slum- bers by the return of John Bruce, a native son who had been successful in Wall street. At the Hotel Mullett, a summer place, complications set in as soon as Mr. Bruce arrived. Then Mr. Bruce lost all his money in the stock market, so everyone thought, and found that he was treated more kindly than before out of smypathy. But the money was really safe and, with it, Mr. Bruce helped the young artist, Tommy Lansing, and gave not only the hotel but also the entire town new leases on life. Love matches between Tommy and Claudia Barrett and Mr. Bruce and Nora Mullett brought the play to a per- fectly happy conclusion. The principal roles in the carrying out of the plot were smoothly acted. William Riddle played John Bruce creditably. Johanna Millheim as Martha Mullett managed the hotel. Janet Forsythe was pleasing as Nora, Mrs. Mullett's daughter. The part of Tommy Lansing was apparently made for Edward Schneider. Atlee Hall as Charles Martin, Brucels gen- eral manager, was all business. Claudia Barrett, played by Dorothy Sprenkle, was the ideal sweetheart for Tommy. A clever trio made a success of the humor in the play. Jane McCall de- lighted the au.dience at every appear- ance as Elmine, a servant in the hotel, Russell Campbell as Abner Ketcham was a laughable grouch. The object of his fury was Bennie, or Raymond Flack, who was just a small towin boy with a desire to become a slick salesman. Ruth Ensminger was Mrs. Barrett the fond parent of Claudia. Jura Charente, the petite French dancing teacher, was well portrayed by Thelma Boettner. Max Baron was her excitabe brother, Var. Bella MacWatt, a temperamental guest, was the role of Kathryn Mc- Camey. Alphecca Spinster, or Jane Lout- zenhiser, and Alchiba Spinster, or Eleanor Haney, were two fussy old maids who came to stay at the hotel. Other A Seniors in the cast were: Philip Mendel as Tokio, a valetg John Dunbar as Watkins, Brucels chauffeur, Ruhamma Gregg, Lillian Dumbaugh and Beatrice Frankel as summer boarders. Evan VVimer was Spivens, the local busman, and Jane Huselton and Le- roy Greenert were guests. 62 THE SENIOR .MAGNET COMMENCEMENT The Commencement of the class of January '28 was held on Thursday, the nineteenth. The theme of the exercises was Some Modern Won- ders of the World, and the speak- ers and their subjects were as follows: Salutatory- As It Wasl' .............. Robert Kamerer New Things in Textilesv ............ Betty Gumpper Aviation ...... ..... J oseph Graham 'lThe Radio .... ..... P aul Hindman i'Nutrition ...... .,....... M ary Holly Photography', ................ Atlee Hall Valedictory- As lt May Be ..... . William Helsel It is safe to say that these topics made one of the most interesting com- mencements evere presented in Butler. Qur diplomas were the climax of the evening. --B.H.S.- PERSONALS The wisest, the brightest, but not the sprightest-Bill Helsel. A man, they christened him, sprung up over night-Atlee Hall. He sits, he dreams, but anyhow love lives on. CDoesn,t itj-George Berger. He's smart, and in Trig he's a shark but I wonder what he would do when out on a lark-Cliff Dick. He worked at the park. I think his sweater's evidence, for did you ever read what is written over his heart-Ed Schneider. She's sweet, she's true, though her hair is of a firey hue-Mable Michael. She's tall, she's thin and no one her heart can win. No wonder though after experiencing that grand and glorious feeling of being an old maid -Alchiba alias Eleanor Haney. Margaret King takes the cake when she goes swimming in the lake. Mary Holly in a house could never, never scare a mouse. Margaret Moser is a dear. She lends her comb with never a fear. Robert Kamerer's highest ambition is to be, a very good lawyer for Bee. Russel Campbell in a trance Decided to take in a dance He lost his dignity on the floor And that is why he answers- Nezferznore. Art Ashbaugh is a lad that's sure to make a teachers heart glad. Jay Hulton is a boy of little sound. We wonder, does he ever come to ground. To Ray Barton the boys all flock. It certainly did give this town a shock For Ray Bartorfs so quiet and small .lust seems to get them all. Robert Dumbaugh is the boy to whom the class wishes eternal joy with Lucile. Mary Leslie is the one Wiho takes all the lzusiness IIIHIIIS money For she's a stenog of class Although she's not so fast. Joanna Morrison is a queen Of beauty and serene And the girl of our dreams Always is just what she seems. Isabel Fulton is the best natured girl She does her work in a whirl And we all think that she, Is just as sweet as she can he. lllary Limberg sings like a lark When she starts to sing we all mp, Cause it has gifven us all a start To think that we have had such a genius right from the start. THE SENIOR ZWAGNET 63 WHO'S WHO In the A. and P. Organization SIR ARCHIBALD, C. O. D. An innocent young man in Room 212 tried hard to convince the school that he was not l'Sir Archyf' Hav- ing been a member of the previous organization, quite naturally the sus- picion fell his way, but considering various facts, I think he made a good stagger at trying to deceive every- body. The way he tried to drop his voice over the telephone would have confused the best. But now that his time of execution draws near, Sir Archibald admits that his name is Paul Hindman. LORD PERCY, T. M. R. Co-operator of this group, is a quiet mama's boy but whom nobody suspect- ed. He carried an innocent swag on his shoulders never taking any interest in anything but girls. He hails from Nixon and in him our class received a valuable addition. His help was invaluable in the way he helped carry out the work of the club. So in pre- senting Lord Percy, our good looking classmate, James Dodds, comes onto the scene., LADY VICTORIA What a name! Yes, and what a bearer. She made an excellent hero- ine in the play Hawthorne of the U. SQ A. We were indeed happy when she joined our prosperous group, helping make it all the merrier. We are proud to acknowledge the tact that she wias voted the most popular in our class. Who can she be but Betty Gumpper. ' SIR BUCKINGHAM l'All- right now gang, all upf, I wonder where we heard that expres- sion before. Oh! yes, a handsome chap who ran up on the stage and led the school as a cheer leader. His work, as a member of our club, was also contributed with the dash and speed that he uses when around the girls. His name as Sir Buckingham could fit nobody but Max Baron. LADY DOLINGHAM Another member and a real sport. She came to our school a year ago and brought her original ideas with her. She put her heart and soul into her wfork and the result was poetry that set one to thinking. It was clear, witty, and always had a moral, -read it and see. In choosing one so poetically inclined Lady Doling- ham could not but be Marjorie West. SIR RODERICK Hail the mighty conqueror comes! The president of our class. He is Pl real ladyis man, you should see him step. He has a pleasing disposition and could certainly get along with anyone. He proved to us what he could do in a pinch and we are hon- ored to have him .as one of our members. Permit me to introduce Sir Roderick as Jenning Barr. LADY PEMRROKE and LADY BALTIMORE The Siamese Twins. Such they proved for one could not write with- out the help of the other. This com- bination proved the fact that they had a piercing intellect and they helped greatly in making the A. and P. or- ganization ugo over the top. Their contributions came in periodically and were wiritten with the jest of a 'KCollege Humor. So in naming Lady Pembroke and Lady Baltimore consecutively we called on Rue Gregg and Sarah Fleeger. SIR EFFINGHAM An intellectual man comes stroll- ing down the street. He was one of the bright boys in our class. joining our club after it was well started, he 6-I TI-IE SENIOR MAGNET did not see its momentary I-lickerings of depressions. His greatest help was the inspirations received by other members from the thoroughness in which he did anything. Sir Effing- ham ie. Bob Kamerer. LADY SALISBURY A dashing, dauntless, courageous little blond, With that keen mind, and quick flash, she portrays that which is most characteristic of our club as a whole--alertness, writ, and speed. As Caesar would say, she sure knows her Bermu.das. Lady Salisbury is a fitting name for Lillian Dumbaugh. SIR AI.DWINKI.E and SIR PUFFINGHAM XVe had to go out of our class to get these two comedians, but do you blame us? These two gentlemen, as school representatives, helped us to a large extent and we are proud of them. Sir Aldwinkle is the merry little sheik called Bud Greenert and we ask you, if anybody, but Bill Cross, could fill the name of Sir Puff' ingham? LADY CASTLEVV'O0D and LADY ELITE Two beautiful ladies of -the B Senior class helped make up the club as school representatives. Their con- tributions wfere appreciated and we are sure that without them our club would have not been complete. So, in presenting them, Alice McAn- drews stepped forward as Lady Case tlewood and Janet Forsythe as Lady Elite. OUR FACULTY ADVISOR Our list would not be complete without mentioning our faculty ad- visor, a man of thorough knowledge and understanding. One broadmindv- ed enough to sympathize with the A. and P. organization when in their weak stages, one always ready to lend a helping hand, is Mr. Joseph C. Kradel of our beloved faculty. -B.H.S.- HOOS HU Russell F. Campbell Orchestra II and IV. Usher III and IV. Class Play- A Lucky Break, IV. Music Committee-Chairman IV. Roman Wedding-Class Night IV.

We took up a movement .started by two students of the class of Hjune '27, and have tried to develop and extend the organization to a greater height. We enjoyed all we did and we hope our Work was appreciated. Our ef- forts came to a climax at a social gathering of all the members of our club, at which everybody enjoyed themselves. We hope that the stud- ent body may note our progress and get ideas for similar organizations for the betterment of the Magnet so for the good of B. H. S. We extend our best wishes to any future attempts made by the students. We now bid you, Au Revoir. Sir Archibald, C. O. D. Lord Percy, T. M.

However, the battle at New Ken- sington was fought on a slippery mucliy field which naturally handi- capped both teams as far as displaying real football is concerned. The two mud splattered elevens portrayed equal ability throughout the entire affray and the game ended in a scoreless tie. Neither team was able to open their bag of tricks. The only team that defeated Butler was the powerful aggregation of VVilk- insburg. One game that will be remembered not only by the team but also by those who wfitnessed it, is that of Tar- entum. This game was the best game of the season. It ended in favor of Butler but every gridder that played deserves to be congratulated. But again, taking all in all we know that the representatives of B. H. S. on the gridiron did their best throughout the season and hope that it will not only be as good but much better next season. This smooth out- ht was coached and trained by coach Bernlohr and coach Heinzer, both former students and athletes of B.

Even when the team played abroad they could figure on a few hundred students who would follow in spite of the weather and cheer them on to victory. Now if this only Continues l am sure there will be better teams competing in the athletic events that B. H. S. can be proud of. OF GAMES 1927 Vandergrift ............ .....

He must hurry if he wanted to see the Painter as it was almost supper-time. The round-about way home which led past the home of the Painter, of course, took more time. So he had to hurry, to get back and sell the rest of his papers. It was the garden of this home that took Scotty’s eye most, because gen- erally, at this time in the evening, it was here that he saw the Painter. Around this garden at the side and back of the house, which was of stone, and quite large, was a wall, also of stone, just as high as Scotty’s humped shoulder. Because of a hedge of for- sythia inside this wall, Scotty could very easily look in without being seen. Ah! There he was—Scotty’s Painter. He was sitting on a low bench with his easel before him, and at that moment was pointing out something in a poplar tree, to a pretty young girl beside him. While Scotty watched them, they got up and the girl went toward the house while the Painter walked to the other end of the garden to speak to the gardner. Wasn’t he wonderful! Scotty was proud of him—so tall and well built! He admired and adored this man who was so entirely unconscious of the little fellow. The two disappeared around the side of the house, and Scotty turned away. The next afternoon they boy looked in vain for the artist. He was just turning away when he saw the gar- dner and two other men come near him very cautiously. “Come on, Slim, don’t be yellow. No one’s here,” this from the gardner. “Yellow:, nothing!” retorted one of the others. “I’m not a fool, that’s all. Well, all right, what’s twenty years to me if we do get caught,” sarcastically. Scotty hid himself as well as pos- sible and watched. They walked past him over to an old sun-dial and stopped. Then, after a brief examination of it, they turned and came back. This time Scotty caught the words, “—be silly to hide it now. I’ll do it when it’s dark tonight.” And from Slim to the gardner, “No double-crossing, now, Joe. We’ll see you tonight.” Scotty slipped away excited and rather guilty for his eavesdropping. “Tonight” was not very definite, he thought. Anyhow, he hadn’t sold all his papers, yet, and he would go back to town this way. Perhaps he would chance to see anything that happened. But, as it was, Scatty didn’t see anything. He went home that night feeling that maybe he’d been wrong in suspecting “dirty work.” Scotty opened the paper and stared. There was a large picture of his Painter on the front page with “Rod- ney Worth Whitney” beneath it. And in huge headlines. “Whitney Accus- ed of Concealing Evidence in Bridge Contract Bribe.” What! His Painter arrested! Why, that was terrible—just as though he was a crook! H is Painter!! Scotty didn’t believe a word of it, whatever it meant, but he read furth- er on the paper. “Whitney, who was the only per- son in the office according to Mayor THE SENIOR MAGNET 0 Kline about the time of the theft, de- nies all charges. He declares he is in no way connected with the con- tract. The evidence was lying on Mayor Kline’s desk when Whitney entered, and very shortly after he left the papers were missing.” Scotty grew hot with indignation as he read more about the Painter, his family, his fiancee— “Say, mister, what does this word mean?” He pointed it out. “Fiancee? Oh, that’s the girl he is going to marry. That is, if she’ll have him after this,” he added iron- ically. So that was the pretty girl he saw so often with the Painter! But, the other thing—he must do something! Suddenly Scotty thought of the gard- ner. “I’ll hide it tonight.” With a start Scotty jerked himself together. He started off as fast as he could go toward the mayor’s office. When he got there, he had to wait some five minutes of awful torture till he could see Mayor Kline, himself. At breackneck speed, he told of the overheard speech of the evening be- fore, and by the time he had finished three men were prepared to go with him to the garden. “Maybe I’m wrong, sir,” Scotty- said to the Mayor, “but if I’m not, will it do—that is, will it help Mr. Whitney any?” “Sure thing, sonny,” was the reply. “But we’ll see.” The four of them drove off to the Whitney home. Scotty held his breath. He was about to be ushered into the sacred presence of the Painter! He would be be able to speak to him, and maybe the Painter would even pay some atten- tion to him. Mayor Kline was with Scotty. In fact it was he who had ar- ranged this meeting. And it was he who had told him how the clerk in the office had been “in cahoots” with the gardner. How he had taken the papers and hidden them in the Paint- er’s brief case so that the gardner could get them and hide them, to be sold later to the company accused of bribery. How, that night, according to a confession of the gardner’s, the papers had been hidden in the hollow- stand of the sun-dial. Scotty- remem- bered the finding! Finally—boy, wasn’t he great! Scotty looked up at the good looking face of Rodney Whitney before him. This one held out his hand to the boy and said, “So you’re Scotty!” and as he added, “A friend in need, surely,” with a smile so very sincere and a tightening grip of his little hand, Scotty’s heart almost burst with joy and admiration. 10 THE SENIOR MAGNET Senior Pictures Pat Grant If you knew the trouble we Seniors had IVhen we had our pictures taken; } ou wouldn't wonder that we never grinned If7 hen in this book our proofs were pinned.

So very anxious that they be ‘just right.’ Of course there were exceptions to this rule And we discussed the matter as we rushed to school, IVe convinced each other that there were mistakes Then insisted it best, that they be re- taken. So now we Seniors are satisfied, A It ho we had a time, we’re gratified— So in glancing o’er in our Senior Book Remember the time and the pains it took. THE SENIOR MAGNET 11 Springtime in the Country Grace Walter Spring always seems to begin on the morning that Jimmie comes rush- ing into my room with a sprig of cherry blossoms in his hand. You see, the cherry tree grows just outside of Jimmie’s window, and he watches it very carefully, and then as soon as the blossoms are out, he picks a branch and flies round the house, showing it to everybody. We begin to keep a little notebook and write down in it the cherry blos- som day and all the other days of the really important things. There is the day the apple buds begin to burst, and there is the day when we first see the yellow butterflies flitting along near the ground. And then comes the day when we pick the first violets and find the first bird’s nest. All of these im- portant days we write in our note- book. Jimmie and Jane come to my door soon after breakfast. They knock very quietly. I pretend not to hear them. They knock again; still I do not answer. Then they thunder on the door. Do you know how to thun- der on a door? You do it by doubling up your fists and hitting hard on the door with both hands. You can make a great noise in that way. And then suddenly I jump up and roar out, “Who’s there?” as if I were a terrible giant. Jimmie and Jane come tumbling in and stand in front of me, and bow and say, “Oh! Ir. Giant, we want you to come out for a walk.” , And then away we go through the garden into the fields. Our three pairs of eyes are wide open so as not to miss anything. First we watch the lark rise up into the sky. He is a little speckled brown bird. Jimmie says he ought not to be so proud just because he has a fine voice, for there are prettier birds than he. If you watch the way he swings into the air with little leaps of flying, higher, and higher, you cannot help thinking that perhaps he is indeed a little too vain. He likes to climb higher up in the air than all the other birds. But he takes good care that you shall not for- get him even if he is out of sight. He sings and sings and sings. Jimmie and Jane like to wait and watch him till he drops down again in long jumps. “Now he is coming,” says Jimmie, as he sees the lark poise for an instant. “Now he is coming,” cries Jane, as the little feathered songster drops down a foot or two. We always know where to look for the wild violets. They like cool, shady places for their homes. We find them nestling in the banks, under the hedge that runs along the side of the wood. Jane carries a little trowel and a bas- ket. She digs into the damp earth all around the roots of the violets, then pulls up the plants and carries them home to her garden. Sometimes we pick wild flowers and send them to pale-faced children whom we know in the town. I hey think it must be very dull in the country. But they do not know how lovely the country is in the spring- time. The woods are full of living things. There are the mice, the rabbits, and the birds. And soon all the trees will be green and the ground will be car- peted with bright flowers. From the high windows of our house we can see over the fields to the 12 THE SENIOR MAGNET woods, and we can see the trees change color very earlv in the spring. We watch the buds coming out on every branch. On the way to the woods we pass through broad green fields. In these fields we see many sheep nibbling at the grass. Very early in the spring a day comes when, by the side of one old sheep, there is something small and white. Then we all three go across the field as quietly as we can to see the little new lamb. Hut be- fore we are very close to them, the gray mother moves away, and the little white lamb jumps up and scam- pers after her. Before the spring is half gone, other little lambs are skipping about and chasing each other over the green fields. Jimmie and Jane are always wondering what the soft wooly crea- tures are thinking about in those queer little heads with their big ears and great round eyes. When we come back from our long walk, we talk about the things we have seen today. And then we count up all the signs of spring. “Children,” I say, “how do you know that spring has come?” “1 know it,” Jimmie quickly ans- wers, “because we had the cherry blossoms, and the apple blooms, and the violets, and the pussy willows!” “Then there are the robins, and the butterflies, and the lambs,” cried Jane. “Yes,” I answer the happy child- ren, “we know by all these lovely signs that spring has really come.” THE SENIOR MAGNET 1 To a Friend Carl Burtner When the sun has set in the western sky. And the stars are bright o'er head— That’s when I think of you, my Pal— That's when I long for you. You were my friend, the friend of all, A pal worth knowing, too; Your happy face was a boom to us, Before you were taken away. Then came the time when one must go. And leave the rest alone; You were the one who heard the call And you threw the torch to me. I’ll try to bear it as you did Until I must throw it too. Then I'll want to see you again, my Pal When I have crossed the Bar. Written in memory of my friend, Johx J. Ashbaugh 14 THE SENIOR MAGNET On the Job Freida Rosen “But, Jack, you must realize that it a dangerous job.” “Dangerous be darned when you know it involves nearly the whole country!” “You’re right, my boy, we must give these opium smugglers a blow.” “Not only a blow, but we’ve got to hit them add hit them hard.” “What are your plans, Jack ?” “I haven’t reached any definite plans as yet, but the plan I am think- of needs someone in it, say a good looking girl.” “But, Jack, I thought you had no use for these “silly” girls as you class them.” “Don’t misunderstand me, I don’t want a “silly” girl. I want one with some good honest-to-goodness common sense.” “Well, I see, but why bring a girl into the danger?” I’m not bringing her into the danger, I just want her to be a con- fidant, and when the trouble comes, I’ll see that she isn’t there.” “Shall we advertise?” “H—1 no! that would put the smugglers on the scent; then we would have their confidants on our shoulders!” “You don't know who the smug- glers are ?” “I have an idea.” “Who?” “I don’t choose to disclose their identity now. When the time comes, you’ll know.” The conversation was carried on in the private office of a firm of well known detectives. Jack Duff or “K 13” was talking to his chief about the question which was revolving in the minds of many people—opium. New'S had reached the ears of the chief that opium was being carried daily into the city of Pittsville. How the narcotic was smuggled in, or where it was taken, was up to Jack Duff to find out. Jack was a young fellow of twenty- three, yet he was one of the most re- liable and accurate detectives of the world. “Jack, when you get the girl, what are your plans?” “Well, you see, chief, it’s this 9 way. Just then a knock was heard at the door. Permission was given to enter and a young girl entered. “Hello, chief!” “Hello, K 3!” “What’s new?” “I got the dope on the ‘bootleggers’ joint.” “Fine! K 3, this is K 13.” “How do you do?” and they both looked at each other curiously—the one with the curiousity of a girl, and the other to see if that girl would fit into his plans. “Now, that finishes up that job. “What’s new on the list, chief ?” “There is something big and dan- gerous.” “Fine! When do I begin?” “It’s not your job. K 13 has charge of it, but he needs an assistant.” “What is it about?” “Opium.” “Oh.” “K 13 you take K 3 home and tell her about your plans, and, if they suit you, K 3 can take the job.” “Thanks, chief.” The two left the office together. That evening saw Jack knocking at Betty Brown’s home. Betty Brown THE SENIOR MAGNET 15 was known as “K 3” in the detective world. Betty was a very pretty girl in her twentieth year. She had chosen the professional life because she liked the excitement. Betty herself came to the door to let Jack in. “Hello, Miss Betty, are you ready ?” “Yes, all ready; but where are we going?” “On a little inspection tour.” “Great!” “First on the programme is a little trip down to Chinatown.” “I have always wanted to go down there, but I always got cold feet when I started myself.” “Well, I should say so.” They entered Chinatown and look- ed around awhile. Jack stopped the machine in front of the little mean old house. “This,” he said to Betty, “is where I believe the opium is received.” “Why do you pick out that little dinky place for the headquarters of the opium smugglers? You would ex- pect them to have a big home wouldn’t you, disguised, of course, by another business.” “Yes, in some cases, but in this case, this seems to be the best plan.” “Why?” “Did you notice as we came along the street that there is a river that runs exactly the same way as the building?” “Yes.” “Well, that’s enough!” “I see. Come on, let’s go, or we’ll raise suspicion. Do we need any passwords ?” “I don’t think so—we can play on that we are just sightseers and have plenty of money and that will be suf- ficient.” They entered the building and were met by a Chinaman. He led them to a table. They were served and then left to themselves. Jack took in everything with an experienced eye. After they had got- ten into the machine, Betty exclaim- ed, “Jack, I believe we have them!” “So do I, but I believe it is not a girl’s job, so that lets you out.” “No, Jack, that wouldn’t be fair, so I come along.” “Well, we’ll see.” Days elapsed and Betty and Jack progressed on their plans. Betty had met a man for whom she professed great admiration. He took her slumming to Chinatown, by Bet- ty’s coaxing, and they visited Chan Sing’s Chop Suey House. Mr. Davis seemed to know so many of the inti- mates of the place. While Betty was working in one channel, Jack wrorked in another, mat- ters were progressing wonderfully. One day Betty had a date with Rough Bill Davis, and they went to Chinatown as usual. Betty and Bill were very close friends by now. Bill had a little too much to drink, and he began to talk. Betty grasped with delight, because he was disclosing just what she and Jack were trying to find out. She pumped Bill and then excused herself to telephone. “Hello, central. Please give me Brant 6236.” Jack, this is Betty speaking.” “Did you find out anything?” “Everything is set for tonight—.” “Trying to double-cross me, eh? Well, I guess not!” and Big Bill jerked Betty out of the telephone booth. “Why, Bill dear, you know I wouldn’t do anything of the kind.” “Don’t try to vamp me, with your baby eyes, because that ain’t going to go, get me?” “I am going home, Bill; you’re not going to insult me.” “No, you’re not; you’re coming home with me.” “I won’t.” 16 THE SENIOR MAGNET “You will,” and he dragged her down the corridor. While this was happening, Jack knew that something had happened when Betty dropped the telephone re- ceived so suddenly. He loaded his pistols, gave an emergency call to the chief, and start- ed down to Chinatown. He entered, just as casually, though his heart was beating very rapidly within him. The people did not bother him because he was known. He entered the corridor, and when no one was looking, he slipped down the stairs. At the foot of the stairs was another corridor and at the end of the corridor was a door. He entered the room, and looked around. It seemed a plain little room. But what mystery did it contain ? He looked around for clues and gave up in despair when he espied a small slip of paper. He unfolded the slip of paper and this was what he saw. He deciphered it. It was written in the International Morse code, touch leg| of[ table| watch1 hurry' K 3. He touched the leg of the table and the whole thing seemed to vanish and in its place a pair of steps came into view. He went down the steps with his gun drawn. He came into a room. Luck was with Jack. The stairways were in shadows. He saw everything that went on in the room. Betty was there, unharmed, but tied. There were three men who were busy fixing boxes. “Thought you’d let that shiek know what we were doing?” hiccoughed out Big Bill. “Well, you didn’t, Baby Face.” “Oh,” thought Jack to himself, “none too sober; fine—I’ve got to get Betty free and give her a gun.” He kept in the shadows, crept down, and touched Betty. She near- ly screamed ; but when she saw who it was, she became silent. Jack un- tied her hands and pressed a gun into her hands. He crept back to the stair- way and then stepped into the light with a “It‘s all up, boys, put ‘em up.” “Like hell we will,” and they start- ed on the run. Jack fired at one of the fellows and hit him in the leg. Big Bill pulled open a door but was confronted by a group of policemen. The three were handcuffed and led away. Then Jack and Betty followed them out. Jack drove Betty home si- lently. Before the door he stopped and took Betty in his arms. “Betty dear, I was frightened. Will you—.” But that is a different story and now Betty is running a home instead of following clues. THE SENIOR MAGNET 17 Bring on Your Cats John Biedenbach Sheriff Joe Daly had missed his deputy, Long Bill Casey, but thought nothing of it until his telephone rang about noon. Bill had a habit of going off on a “wild goose chase” every so often. The sheriff picked up the receiver. “Yes, this is Sheriff Daly, of Nathan County. Who is this speaking? What’s that ? Sure, I know Long Bill Casey; he’s my deputy. What’s that ? Kidnapped? I ask you, who is this speaking? Manuel Avalarez—well, who are you? What! You’ll torture him if you don’t get $5,000—I’ll w,ring your lousy neck for you. What? All right; all right; just wait a minute. I’ll put the money under that rock. Yes, I know where it is.” The sheriff went out, and without any care in the choice of words, told everybody within hearing distance what the matter was. Soon he had a formidable posse ready to capture any and all kidnappers. While the posse was collecting, the sheriff was at the bank trying to get a loan. The banker was not over-anxious to lend money on an unsecured note. “But, I tell you it’s only for a decoy.” “Then why don’t you use just a package of paper?” “Then what if the kidnapper should find that it was only paper?” “Oh! So you’re not so sure of bringing it back right away.” After much persuasion, the sheriff finally got the loan, and the posse was on it’s way. When they neared the rock, the sheriff sent one man ahead to deposit the money under the rock, while he divided the others into groups to ap- proach the rock from different angles. A short time passed, and then a man came into sight, picking around among the rocks. Instantly a dozen voices commanded him to put up his hands. “ Why, it’s Bill himself!” exclaimed the sheriff, “I thought you were kidnapped.” “Where’s the rustlers?” asked Bill, who seemed to be puzzled by the sheriff’s remarks. “I don’t know of any rustlers, but what are you doin’ here?” “I’d have been in Rainbow City a long time ago, if it hadn’t been for losing a pesky cat.” “Why, there’s a cat on your sad- dle.” “Yes, but I had two of them, and that one I picked up at Mrs. Green’s went and jumped off my saddle and ran after a field mouse. I was look- ing for him, when I ran into a greaser poking around in these rocks.” “Where’s he at?” “I left him in back of that rock; I’ll get him.” Bill soon reappeared, bringing with him a handcuffed Mexican. “Who are you, and what are you doing around her?” yelled the sheriff in the most approved manner. “Why, I’m just....” “Shut up, I know who you are. You’re the guy that called me up this morning, and told me that Bill had been kidnapped.” Long Bill interrupted. “Why, I got a telegram from Sheriff Smith of Rainbow County this morning telling me to come right away. That’s where I was going when I lost that cat.” “Sheriff Smith of Rainbow County? Why, Sheriff Smith has been dead for over three years. I’ve 18 THE SENIOR MAGNET got it now, it’s a fake telegram. But what about the cats?” “Why, the telegram told me to bring two cats.” “Let’s see that telegram.” The sheriff read it to the men standing about: Deputy Bill Daly. Come at once. Need your help to catch rustlers. Bring two cats as there may be trouble. Sheriff Smith. The sheriff turned to the Mexican and asked, “Did you write that?” “Yes, but I put down two gats, not two cats. They must have made a mistake at the telegraph office.” The sheriff turned to Bill. “Do you hear that, you poor misguided deputy, he meant gats, not cats? Well, I always did say that you were a fool for luck.” But Bill was paying no attention. “Look, there’s that other cat up on that tree. Just a minute and I’ll catch it.” Supposin’ You Wuz Me Audrey Wilson Supposing jest supposing that ya had to go ta bed Jest as soon as ya got yer supper And ya’d planned ta meet the gang An’ play ‘till the stars come out.

THE SENIOR MAGNET 19 From Nan to Nannette Dorothy Sprenkle Nan Dickson buttoned the big gold buttons on her uniform and took her regular place at left center aisle, or- chestra, section B in the New Ams- terdam Theatre. She liked her job. She had to like it, for what else could she do? She had never been trained for anything worthwhile, and had been quite fortunate in getting this place as usher at one of the largest theatres in New York. The matinee crowd was always in- teresting. Nan tilted her cap just a little to the side. She felt as if she knew' the smart college girls who dropped in for the show. Once in a while one of them smiled at her very friendly. As for the men, they always looked long and hard at her and very often made witty remarks for her benefit. She always pretended not to hear and had to wait till she had them seated to smile to herself as she walk- ed back for the next check. “Howdy, Colonel!” A short light haired chap was grinning very dis- gustingly at her with his hand up in a mock salute at her little cap and uni- form. She smiled weakly. She did hate salesmen. In fact, the only weekly customer she liked probably wouldn’t be there this week. He had seen the show now running, three times already. It was a wonderful show and han ‘gone over’ high. Next week, it was leaving New York for Chicago. That was Nan’s home and she almost wished she could hide in one of the big costume trunks and see Chicago again—and home. The curtain rose and the accustom- ed hush feel over the audience. Nan was once again in heaven. There was her favorite, almost her idol. Jean Venice had been putting the joy into “Joylulla” for almost a year. It had marvelous runs, all due to the sparkl- ing lovely lady. Her voice and danc- ing were glorious. Nan hated to think she was leaving next week. They were really friends, she and Miss Venice. Sometimes she slipped into the star’s dressing-room and they talked, and one day when the colored maid was ill, she had helped Miss Venice to make up and put on her pretty costumes. The star had even shown her many of the tricky things she did in putting over her songs and was much surprised when Nan imi- tated her to perfection. Nan had al- ways been able to sing. She had tak- en lessons, too, in Chicago, but when her father died, it all stopped. Every- thing had stopped, it seemed. Soon the crowd wras pouring out again, everyone exclaiming over the show. Nan slipped around to the dressing rooms, and caught a glimpse of Miss Venice at the stage door. It was raining a little, and a canopy had been put up so the star could step right into her car. “Nan, just a moment,” the star was calling her, and she ran up breath- less. “What do you want, Miss Ve- nice?” Nan opened her eyes in a questioning manner, and waited, ach- ing to do something to show her love and admiration for the star. “Call me Jean, dear. I’m not very much older than yourself, you know —and you’re my friend. How was the show'? Did it go over all right? Did they like It?” Nan answered all three questions at once. “Oh! it was glorious. It went over great. They are wild about you.” 20 THE SENIOR MAGNET The star’s arms were around her in a moment and Nan could smell the faint perfume of her hair and face. Then a horn outside—The driver opened the door and Miss Venice had to leave. She waved to Nan, and the little usher wished mightily that she were Miss Venice, so swreet, lovely, and sought after. Nan stood looking out at the rain. It w’as a hard life, she thought, being a poor usher. Miss Venice had gotten into the car feeling very well. Nan always had a soothing effect on her. She was growing to like the girl a lot. As the car rolled up the avenue, a clock struck five. She wTas glad the mati- nee hadn’t been late. She wrould have almost three hours of rest be- fore the big performance in the eve- ning, and she told herself that she needed it all right. A sharp turn to the left—Miss Venice covered her face and screamed as the big gray car crashed into a pole at the side of the road. Afterwards at the hospital. Max Alderstein mentioned the eve- ning show . She opened her eyes. “Oh! Max—don’t stop the show'. It’ll ruin you.” The words came slowly, with deep breaths between. “Oh—can you—would you try the little usher—Nan, the little usher— she can—she can—I know it.” With one idea in mind, to save the show', Max rushed to the theatre. He talked with Nan. Pretty child! Why not ? Poor Nan! overcome w'ith grief over Miss Venice’s accident, she near- ly forgot about the chance given to her. The one she had longed and prayed for ever since she came to the theatre. She rushed to the bedside of her friend and sobbed out her thanks. “Please, please get well and I’ll try, oh, so hard! to make you proud of me tonight.” Fifteen minutes until the curtain was to rise. Nan sitting in her dress- ing room, watching Max pace the floor like a caged animal, receives a message that a friend would like to see her to extend his best w'ishes. “May I?” she asks Max. “Wait, my dear, I’ll see the gentle- man first,” was his answer, as the door slammed. In a few' minutes Max returned, followed by her friend who had al- ready seen the show three times. “Nan, this is Mr. Maynard, the manager and producer of “Heaven On Earth.” He has often seen you in the role of a little usher and has great hopes for you this evening.” N,an could do little more than blush and dimple, but she did that very prettily as she extended her hand to the country’s most famous pro- ducer. Who could tell at eight-thirty, as they sat facing the asbestos in the brilliance and glamour of the theatre, that, behind the scenes, anxiety made the tension almost unbearable? Who suspected that a little girl was to step upon the stage for the first time in the leading role? The curtain rose. After the pre- lude and opening chorus, the audi- ence applauded in that moment that elaspes before the entrance of the beautifully lovely and sophisticated star, M iss Venice. Is there any won- der that, the appearance of a small, startled, pretty girl sent a ripple of conversation through the applauders. A smile, a look of assurance from the conductor, and Nan’s young voice went out to touch the hearts of those that listened and w’atched. If there w'as any doubt of her ability when she glided over the floor to the soft strains of “The Minuet,” it vanished. Nan answered curtain call after curtain call and after the last, stood with her eyes filled with tears before Max and Mr. Maynard. In Chicago, her career was assured ; and as she again stood at the bedside THE SENIOR MAGNET 21 of her convalescent friend, she told her plans. “Jean, dear, I owe it all to you. I just signed a contract for the lead in Mr. Maynard’s production for next year. You and I will always be friends,” she finished with a sob. The world tosses us up and the world tosses us down, but it tossed the glorious and immortal Nannette only one way—up. 22 THE SENIOR MAGNET Not According to Plan Isabel Stamm Timothy Woodruff had always taken an active interest in athletics all through his school life. When he went to Princeton, he tried out for the football team. Although at first he received little notice, by his fourth year he had become captain of the var- sity. The team had passed through a fairly successful season. As the im- portant game of the year drew near, Timothy realized that it was the last time he would ever play for his school. “Boy, Saturday will be my last chance to play,” he told his room- mate. “If I am to do something big for Princeton, I must do it then.” Timothy went to the game Satur- day with the feeling of its being his last chance. In the last quarter, the score was a tie, six to six. The teams seemed to be very evenly matched. Then Timothy got his chance—he was to make a forward pass. If he could only make good, the thought. But with a sinking heart he realized that he had fumbled the ball. The pass was incomplete, and his chance was gone. In the remaining few moments, the Princeton line was able to hold their opponents, but their chance to break the tie had passed. “Tough luck, Tim!” someone said to Timothy as he sat dejectedly in the locker room. “You played a fine game, someone else told him as they went by. But Timothy could think of only one thing—he had had his opportun- ity and failed! He could never re- deem himself, in his own eyes at least, by playing again. He suddenly re- solved that he would in some way, make up for the day’s misfortune. He could not do it himself, so he would have to find someone else to do it for him by proxy, so to speak. How to accomplish this was a problem that continually bothered him until he had solved it, after much thought, in the following manner. He had a kid brother, Percy, who was about seven years old. He thought he might now take this boy in hand, and, by careful training and teach- ing, make him able to represent him- self successfully on the gridiran some- time in the future against the foe that he himself had failed to overcome in a pinch. Many a one would have been dis- couraged by the odds to overcome in carrying out this plan. To begin with it would take years if all else was favorable. Perhaps his brother was just naturally not a football play- er. He knew the boy would never have the physical powers to make him a line smashing half-back. Anyway how could one with a name like “Percy” be expected to be a football player? However, he reasoned, it was the only way out. Victory would be the sweeter because of the obstacles to overcome. Big Timothy resolved to make a field-goal kicker out of his brother. Brawn was not so necessary for that, but he must make the boy one who could score from any angle, in any wind, on any kind of a field or against any team. As the only object in his plan was success, he cared nothing for the time required to complete his task. Without telling Percy anything of his plans, he carelessly tossed a nice new foot-ball to his little brother, on his next visit home. They had quite a bit of fun kicking it around for a few days while Timothy was home. THE SENIOR MAGNET 23 After Timothy graduated, he found work in his home town, and he began Percy’s training in earnest. Timothy spent about half an hour with the lad and the ball every day. That half hour became part of the boy’s life the same as his other chores, until, with- out question, Percy looked forward to practice. It was months before the prospec- tive star was able to kick the ball in the direction he desired at each at- tempt, but this did not daunt his teacher. He had plenty of time. The day his protege succeeded in kicking the ball through between two barrels, the goal posts, ten times in succession, was a red letter day, and was cele- brated by Timothy’s taking Percy to a world series ball game. So the years passed by. In winter or stormy weather, the big boy and the little one worked in the attic fixed up for the purpose. As the “goal-kicker-to-be” progressed, goal posts were set up. First the cross bar was low and the posts wide apart. As Percy advanced in efficiency, then the bar was raised and the posts nar- nowed until the regulation dimensions were reached. Knowing that all goals are not kicked from directly in front, and since their lot was not large enough to get an angle equivalent to those possible on 3 football field, Timothy began to place the uprights closer together until he had his charge making goals through posts only three feet apart at a distance which grew to be all of thirty-five yards. Percy was able to do this expertly and neat- ly, as a matter of course, not thinking it a great achievement since the ad- vance to this perfection had been so slow. One thing remained, that of getting Percy to be cool and methodical when the opposing team was rushing through to block his kicks. By waving his arms and shouting, then later by charging like an opponent in a real game, Timothy had Percy making goals under great interference. By that time Percy was through high school, Timothy Woodruff had com- pleted his work. Percy went to Princeton, of course. Timothy wrote to his old team-mate, Groper, coach at Princeton, telling him to look Percy up if he needed the best drop-kicker he ever saw. When he turned out for football, the coach asked him what he could do. Percy replied, “only kick.” He re- garded kicking as unconsequential; he burned Wiith a desire to do something big and worthwhile. “Well, let’s see what you can do,” said the coach. Percy was given an opportunity to try a few drop kicks. Before the trial was over, he had dropped them over from all angles and distances with never a slip. The coach was speech- less with delight if coaches are ever thus! However, the only things Percy ever got to do was put a kick over the goal, when a goal was needed. At last came the big game of the season which by all indications would be close with the championship of the year depending on its result. Timothy was on hand for the game along with all the other alumni that could be there. The game was close with neither side having enough advantage to score. Near the end of the last quarter, Princeton managed to push the ball within twenty yards of the other goal line. Unable to gain fur- ther, as a last resort, Percy was sent out in place of the full-back. It meant only one thing—a try for a field goal. This was the time for which Timothy had waited and work- ed so long. Now Percy would win him the game in return for the one he had lost. Now after all this plan- ning and confidence, his nerve failed him. He could not look up. What if Percy failed to make good! The signal was called. Percy drop- 24 THE SENIOR MAGNET ped back in position to kick. He cooly rubbed the toe of his muddy shoe on his left leg, stamped a place smooth on the ground in front of himself, then held out his hands to receive the pass. Timothy’s mind seemed to rush on faster than is humanly possible, as he waited. He heard, without look- ing up, the faint thud caused by Per- cy’ toe meeting the ball. “So far, so good,” said Timothy to himself. “A good pass, no fumble and no one interfered with his getting his kick off. None of the things which might have spoiled by long waited for moment of triumph.” As he wondered why no one cheer- ed, he heard a dull thud and a groan from the crowd. He knew the sound. It meant only one thing----a blocked kick and failure after so much hard work. Then a wild cheer from the crowd caused him to look up. What was he seeing? Had the strain been too much for his mind ? Percy was dashing toward the goal line knocking would- be tacklers right and left. He went over for a touchdown. Time was called shortly and the game was over. As the two strolled about the campus that evening, Timothy asked, “Why did you make such a failure of that kick after all the years I spent teaching you to avoid that very thing ?” “Well, I know,” Percy apoligized, ‘‘But it seemed to me such a simple thing to boot a ball through the line. There is no opposition. Now to carry the ball over through a field of enemy tacklers, makes one feel as though he had done something worthwhile. Be- sides, this way my only opportunity to do what I always wanted to do. Don’t you think I will be remembered in years to come as big Bill Edwards is?” “Percy, you’re the limit! A doc- tor wants to study law, and a lawyer wishes he knew something about medi- cine; here the best little drop-kicker I ever saw, hopes he is like a big, burly full-back,” muttered brother Timothy. “Preservence and work won’t gain a thing with a fellow nam- ed Percy.” THE SENIOR MAGNET 25 Accidents Will Happen Jane Vanderlin For a moment, Drew Joyce could not recall what had happened. His head throbbed fiercely, but the rest of his body was mercifully numb. Suddenly it flashed across his mind that something had gone desperately wrong with his plane, and the last thing he remembered was that terri- fying nose dive, with the ground rush- ing up to meet him. Again, he lapsed into a blissful stupor. “That’s fine,' old fellow, you’re coming around all right!” Drew’s eyes opened slowly. He was conscious of a big, white-gown- ed figure bending over him. “Take it easy! Don’t try to move!” a voice was saying. This last caution was unnecessary, for Drew couldn’t have moved even if he had wanted to—he had lost all power1 of voluntary movement. Drowsily, he gazed around. There was the big figure of the white-clad doctor, an elderly woman, and a young girl. His eyes rested for a moment on the latter, as he wondered vaguely who she and what she was doing there, and where-he-was-he rambled into a fitful slumber. Two weeks passed. Drew was improving but still his condition would not permit him to be moved; so arrangements were made for him to stay on indefinitely with Mrs. Hawitt and her daughter, Ruth. Immediately after D rewi was brought to her home, Mrs. Hawitt had made inquiries about his identity. She had found out these facts con- cerning him. He was an orphan, about twenty-three years old, and his father had left him a great inheri- tance. Dissatisfied with college life, he had taken up aviation, against his fiancee, Norma, Davis’s, wishes—and now—this! One point had been definitely de- cided—Drew would never walk again! Mrs. Hawitt was a widow, lived with her daughter, Ruth, in a com- fortable home, about two miles from town. Mr. Hawitt had died two years before. With the fair fortune he had left, together with what they received from Dr. Bradford, Mrs. Hawitt’s brother, the two managed to live well. As time passed. Drew improved and could be wheeled outdoors. At times he tried to be resigned to his fate, but he realized that he would far rather be dead than to be a crip- ple. However, he enjoyed Ruth Ha- witt’s reading immensely, and while she was near, he seemed hanny, and turned his mind from himself. Several days after he was able to be out, a few friends came to see him, among them. Norma Davis. Drew and Norma were left alone for awhile, and when Miss Davis joined the rest of the group, and sug- gested returning to town at once, Ruth noticed that her engagement ring was missing. After his friends had gone, Drew called Ruth to come and read to him. She brought a book, sat down on a stool at his feet, and began to read. But she soon laid down the book be- cause she realized that he was not hearing a word she read. “A penny for your thoughts!” she laughed. “You’re not listening to my reading at all.” 26 THE SENIOR MAGNET “Oh, I beg your pardon, Miss Ha- witt, but—” he looked at her quiz- zically, “will you let me confide in you r “Certainly—Is it about Miss Da- vis ?” she asked. “V es, it is! She told me very plain- ly, this afternoon, that she could never dream of marrying a cripple!—Yet. the strange----” “Ruth, called Mrs. Hawitt, “come and see who’s here!” With a hasty apology, Ruth ran out of the room. “Uncle Braddy! You old dear— 1 m so glad you’re here!” she cried delightedly. “Just a little surprise, my dear,” chuckled Dr. Bradley, embracing his neice. “We have a patient here,” exclaim- ed Ruth. “You must see him at once!” She led Dr. Bradley in to see Drew, explaining as she went, just how the accident had occurred. “Mr. Joyce, this is my uncle, Dr. Bradley,” introduced Ruth. “Great Scott! Dr. Bradley!” cried Drew, grasping the outstretched hand. “Drew!” exclaimed the doctor. Ruth discreetly disappeared, so the two men could talk, and all during the following evening Drew was in the merriest mood he’d been in since his accident. “Good morning, Mr. Joyce,” greeted Ruth. “Drew—if you please Ruth!” “Good morning—Drew.” “ I hat’s fine,” he laughed. I’ll tell you a secret if you’ll let me.” “I’d love to hear it.” His face became suddenly serious. Dr. Bradford is going to operate— it’s my one last, desperate chance. I’ll either walk or die!” “Drew!” she gasped, “Oh, you can’t die!” “I hope not, but I’d rather—than live—like this,” he indicated his use- less legs. “W—when will he operate?” she asked. “Tomorrow, at noon.” It was two o’clock. Ruth had been sitting in the garden since noon, when her uncle, with two other fa- mous surgeons, and two stern looking nurses, had closed the door of Drew’s room. She had just admitted to her- self that she cared more for Drew than she could ever care for anyone else, when she heard her mother call. “Oh, mother, don’t tell me he’s dead!” she cried, fearing the worst. “No, dear, in fact, the operation seems to have been successful, but we can t tell until he comes from under the ether.” Drew’s senses slowly returned, and suddenly a look of amazement down- ed on his face. “Why-why, I can move 'em! Thank the good Lord! I’ll be able to walk again! Dr. Brad- ley, if I’d give you my fortune, it wouldn’t half repay you!” he cried, clutching at the surgeon’s hand. “Take it easy, old fellow, you’re coming along great!” exclaimed Dr. Bradley, his eyes filling with tears, “It’s worth everything to know you’ll walk again, Drew!” Drew recovered rapidly, and was soon able to sit up. Ruth had been reading to him, but stopped at his request. “I’d so much rather just talk to you.” Ruth looked up, inquiringly, and Drew, reaching out, caught her hand and said simply: “I love you, Ruth!” Drew—don’t—I know you love Miss Davis.” No, Ruth, dear, I never cared for her as I do for you. Y ou remember the day your uncle came, we were talking of Norma’s breaking the en- gagement. Y'ou left before I had THE SENIOR MAGNET 27 time to tell you that the strange part about it was, that it was really a re- lief to me. I didn’t feel heart broken at all, as a real lover should. I love you, Ruth; say you’ll marry me!” he pleaded. There was no mistaking his earn- estness, and Uncle Brad and Mrs. Hawitt, who had just reached the gar- den, smiled and turned discreetly away, as they heard Ruth reply: “Yes, Drew, I do love you!” 28 THE SENIOR MAGNET Now Don’t Get Hard Duncan Stamm “Hey! Wait for uncle,” shouted George Newman as he ran to catch up with Paul Esmond as they ap- proached the Whiskersville High School one morning in their senior year. Esmond stopped and waited, not because he wanted to, but for courtesy’s sake. For some reason or the other he could not stand Newman, maybe because of their difference in size; Newman was short and dark, while Esmond was tall and medium dark. “How many problems did you get?” asked Newman as he caught up. “Oh, raspberries on the problems; I worked too long and too hard, now I’m sick of any kind,” blurted Es- mond. “Aw, now, don’t get hard, I’m still up in the air about the balloon prob- lem.” “Yeh! Well, so am I. I got to the middle of the bridge problem and fell through. When I woke, I was in the bath tub.” With such rejoinders as these the boys entered the school and went to their rooms. Esmond was still har- boring an ill-feeling toward George and did not seem to know that he was going to have to put up with little George for a good while. Several days later the chemistry class was preparing for a stiff experi- ment when Esmond’s name came bounding over the ether from the door. He was sent to the office of the principal wondering for what the Fates had doomed him. He was giv- en a telegram from the authorities at the United States Naval Academy informing him that he had passed the examinations which he had taken in January. If his good work was con- tinued in high school, he would be admitted as a “plebe” in July. He returned to the laboratory, walking on air. “What did you get?” asked Abe Hovenditz. “O, boy, I got word that I passed my exams at Annapolis.” It didn’t take this break long to spread through the “lab”, and when it did, it took effect. “I say, admiral,” piped Newman. “Hey, plebe, get out of my way,” from somebody else. “Shine my boots,” from another corner. Some other fellow came around with his pants rolled up and pretend- ed to scrub deck in front of Esmond. Esmond got sore. “Shut up and get out of here and let me alone.” “Aw, now, don’t get hard,” shout- ed Newman. This class plugged through chem- istry, latin, algebra, and all those things with which pupils are bothered in high school. They were strict ad- herents to the “Three Hours Home Study Daily” motto (It’s a wonder) and soon graduated. One day later in Esmond’s second year at Annapolis, he was asked to take a ride in a plane, by an acquaint- ance he had made at the Navy field. After he had been lifted to a height of 5000 feet and had been put through all the stunts of the air, he was placed on the ground. “Well, how do you like flying?” asked the pilot. “Boy, it’s the greatest thing ever,” answered Esmond. After he had bummed a score more flights later, he was bent on a flying THE SENIOR MAGNET 29 career and was transferred to the air squad. He was taught to fly by the best of the experts and with the rest of the stiff Navy teaching, he was being groomed into a young flying colonel. After Newman had spent two years at Princeton, his father lost his sav- ings by the breaking of the bank, forcing Newman to give up college. He worked at various jobs for a while and later enlisted in the air service bound for a flying career. He finally landed at Kelly Field in Texas, where he became a pilot in no time. Newman worked in the Army service for a while and was later transferred to the Navy Air service where he was placed on the airplane, carrier Saratoga. Esmond was turned out as first lieutenant on part of the Bolling Air Field in Washington. One day he was called into the office of the col- onel of air forces at Washington. “Sit down, Esmond, I want to talk with you. You have been doing very good service here, and now you will be given a great chance, which you will probably never suspect. We are having trouble in Nicaragua and need planes down there. You are deserving of the commanding of a monoplane NX 12, somewhat like the Spirit of St. Louis, equipped with pontoons which you will take off af- ter you have crossed the gulf. Will you do it?” “I’ll try.” “Yes, start at four tomorrow morn- ing! Get your pilot and check up on the preparations that have been made. Your pilot’s out at the north corner of the field in No. 12 hangar.” Esmond again walked out of an office on air and strode out to the field. He went to the far end of the field where the new planes were stor- ed and equipped, a part of the field he did not know much about. He saw his plane and strode up to look it over. He saw a pilot in the hangar busy working on maps. When he turned around, the pilot greeted him not with the customary salute, but with a proffered hand shake. “Why, hello here Esmond, what are you doing here anyway? Did you see a naval officer who is to boss me south? “Cut the comedy; You greet officers with the salute, not the hand shake; and besides, I’m the boss.” “Aw, now don’t get hard, you’re not Columbus.” Esmond boiled and continued to try to show his authority but Newman kept kidding him. They awoke at four a. m., and started out fully equipped and prepared. Newman piloted the plane over the long stretch without mishap. Esmond was al- most ready to admit that his pilot was a wonder. They arrived at the field of the marines where their plane was gone over and put in shape for war service. Esmond made his report to the boss and was informed that he and his pilot were to use the plane for mapping out the Sandino teritory, as it was fast and could make quick observations without trouble. The next morning they droned west at dawn and began mapping the territory, slowly and gradually getting lower for better views, as the fog hindered them. They were unaware of the rebel preparation of the old anti-aircraft guns and ammunition for their ruin. The deadly weapons sent no warning, but came on the plane as a blast, spitting death and ruin all around. This plane was not equip- ped with guns and they could not fight back. In the one fire, the con- trol wires on the right wing and tail were cut and part of the wing was gone. The plane started in a circle and downward, as they had no control of it. “Newman, you crawl up there and fix that wire,” ordered Esmond. “Yes, and you fix the one on the 30 THE SENIOR MAGNET tail or it will be just too bad.” They both crawled out and worked at fixing wires with the bullets whiz- zing around them. Esmond just got his fixed when he leaned too much to the right side of the plane and with Newman’s weight, it turned over. Es- mond fell off and his parachute open- ed but he would land among the reb- els. Newman stuck on and by work- ing the control wires, he got the plane righted and crawled back. When he got back and speeded up the engine and got it going at about nor- mal, he was not done yet, he must save Esmond. By zig-zagging to avoid fire, he pulled under Esmond and got him in the plane a few hundred feet from earth and speeded for camp. “Newman,” said Esmond, as they landed. “Yes, dear,” answered Newman. “I have begun to realize what a great guy you are. You saved my life, the plane and maps, which arc very important. My once ill feeling toward you has turned to friendship, and I thank you for what you’ve done.” Newman came to attention and sa- luted as he said: “Thank, you! thank you! I have only twenty cents or I’d give you a quarter. After this don’t get hard.” With this they walked arm in arm to the dugout with the best maps that had ever been turned in. THE SEX IO R MAGNET 31 The Failure Paul Emrick This is the story of a man. An old man, to be sure, but, nevertheless, a real man. As far back as he could remember, Gerald Mitchell had known nothing but failure. Even in his college days this had been his jinxj For four consecutive years, he had gone out for football only to be beaten out for the center position each time by his rival, Dougas Kinney, because he was too light. He had had one advantage over Douglas, however, he could pass the ball better in kick formation, and there was always a chance that he might be chosen for this reason. In his senior year, it was an inspiring sight to see him off at the side of the practice field, day after day, impart- ing to his rival the one special knack which he had, when every pass put another crimp in his own last hopes of varsity fame. But Gerald had loved his school enough to sacrifice his own ends for his Alma Mater. On being asked about him, the coach had once said, “That man will be a success. Maybe not a success that the world at large recognizes, but to himself and his friends a decided success.” Football was not the only thing in which Gerald and Douglas were ri- vals. They were rivals in love; and here also Douglas seemed to get the edge. Anne Hobart told herself that she liked one as well as the other; but Anne was one of the most popular girls at the college, and Douglas, ath- eletic record was of more value to her popularity than Gerald’s repeated string of failures. So unconsciously she leaned more and more in favor of Douglas and finally, two years af- ted thev graduated, married him. Forty-five years passed. Gerald had graduated with an Arts Degree and taken up painting. For several years, he traveled in Europe making many sketches and a few paintings. Some of which met, in a small degree, with success. The critics recognized him as a genuis, but, for some reason which they could not fathom, he could not seem to bring out the good that was in him. Finally, his funds grew low, and, since he had no relatives to help him, he was forced to return to America and seek a living through his art. He took up his quarters in Green- wich Village and started to work with a light heart. He had faith in his own ability. Painting after painting was rejected as not even worthy of con- sideration and his faith gave way to despair. He never quite gave up hope, however, and when he was really pinched for money, he could always get a little by making paint- ings for magazine covers or posters. He hated this work, though, and did no more of it than was absolutely necessary. In this way the years passed and Gerald became a well known charac- ter throughout the Village. He was generally known as “The Failure.” The Failure—he had overheard that once and he had never forgotten. The Failure, eh! Well, just wait, he’d show them. When he finished that “masterpiece” which he was painting, things would be different. Laugh now did they? Well—just wait until that masterpiece” was finished. It would be soon now! He was always painting his “mas- terpiece”. He was certa'n that each new work which he started was sure to be it. Whenever he could find a listener, he poured out his enthusiasm and promptly marched them off to his 32 THE SENIOR MAGNET studio, if it may be called such, to show them his “masterpiece” and also countless other “masterpieces” which had never been finished. Then one day there moved in on the fourth floor of the tenement, a young couple by the name of Porter. They were but lately married and had come to New York to seek some of its far-famed pleasures. Instead of pleasure, they were soon confronted by the grim reality of existence. After many weeks of fruitless searching, they managed to locate jobs which would give them a meager living. She, as a clerk in a nearby chain store, and he as a crane operator in a glass works. They at once became fast friends with Gerald and encouraged him in his work. Many were the evenings they spent together on the rusty old fire-escape, talking, dreaming, and planning. They all seemed to get a real happiness out of these conversa- tions, and each passed his day faster, looking forward to the evening on the fire-escape. Then one day, Gerald made an alarming discovery, a discovery which it seemed for a while, was destined to take the last meager spark of happi- ness from his life. For a while he didn’t believe it. It is hard to believe something when you don’t want to, especially when it will plunge the world in which you live into chaos. He had heard nothing about Anne and Douglas since their marriage, but he had never forgotten. It had seem- ed that it was his fate never to hear of them again, but he did. Mrs. Porter’s maiden name had been Kin- ney, and her father’s first name was Douglas. It did not seem that she could be the daughter of Anne and Douglas, but she was, and he knew it. For several days Gerald was absent from the evening group; then one day, he came back. Outwardly, there was no change in him; but inwardly, he held fast his secret and vowed that others should never know. After all, he reasoned, Anne and Douglas had never done him an actual wrong, so why should he deny himself the com- fort which he received from his asso- ciation with them ? They would never know who he was. They would not find out that he had never known success. No, not if he could possi- bly help it. So time passed and with the time Gerald’s paintings improved, some of them he even sold for trifling amounts. “Now”, he thought, “at last, I’m going to paint my “master- piece.” It will be known the world over and shall bring me fame and renown.” The Porters also pros- pered They had managed to save a little and were contemplating moving down the street where the rooms were a little more desirable. Then something happened which nipped all their plans in the bud. Mrs. Porter became ill. At first, it was thought that she had only a bad cold, and that a few daysi in bed would be an effective remedy. She grew steadily worse; and when the doctor was called in, he pronounc- ed it pneumonia, a very bad case, double pneumonia in fact. A trained nurse must be called at once. A week passed. Every morning, Gerald climbed the four flights of stairs to inquire after Dolly, for that was her name. Each evening, he made another pilgrimage to inquire about her and to ask if there was anything he could do. The crisis passed and the doctor said that with a little spirit on Dolly’s part, she would pull through. Dolly had become despondent. She was so weak that she did not seem to care if she recovered or not. From where she lay, she could see the ivy on the wall of the building across the street. It was Fall, and the leaves were turn- ing brown and being blown away, one THE SENIOR MAGNET 33 by one, Dolly watched them, and one day she told her husband that when the last ivy leaf passed away, so would she. Gerald happened to be present at the time, and this worried him greatly and also set him to thinking. Three days passed, and with them many more of the ivy leaves. On the third day, a storm blew up and lasted all that night and part of the next morning. The morning, Gerald did not make his usual visit, but Dolly was cheered by the sight of one lone ivy leaf which had weathered the storm. There was a marked change in her condition. She improved rapid- ly until finally the doctor said there was no further need of fear for her recovery. In the meantime, Gerald had been found dead, dead in bed in his room. At the inquest, it was found that he had died from exposure, exposure re- ceived the night of the storm, when, all night long, he had sat in a window of the building across the street and painted on the wall. Painted what- —An ivy leaf—his “masterpiece.” 34 THE SENIOR MAGNE Farewell Audrey Wilson Farewell, dear school o’ mine! We bid thee sad adieu, With heavy hearts and misty eyes We say good-bye to you.

But who save those who have really ex- perienced the true meaning of the word know its full significance? Are you one of those? Mr. Webster defines it as “a part- ing,” or “a mere formal greeting at parting,” but is this definition suffi- ciently applicable to our departure from high school ? Some will un- doubtedly say, “Yes,” while others, “No.” . Graduation from high school is a mere formal greeting at parting to some—to those whose career has been a veritable nightmare of zeros, make- up work, and misunderstanding teachers. Others, however, feel the pang of real regret as they prepare to make their entrance into the world, in whose eyes a high school diploma is but a mere scrap of paper. These are the ones who are experiencing the true and indefinable meaning of the word “farewell.” It is an unfeeling person who could leave an institution such as Butler High without even a trace of re- gret. . . The average graduate will be torn by conflicting emotions—one of sad- ness at his leaving school, and an- other of happiness at his success in accomplishing part of his life’s work. Many are not decided as to what their life’s work shall be, but we want to wish all of them every success in overcoming any obstacle which is set before them. And now, dear friends of B. H. S., farewell! May the remaining days of our high school life be as full of enjoyment and success as ours has been. And to you, dear Alma Mater, we bid a most fond adieu. THE SENIOR MAGNET 69 Reforestation Edgar Geibel In the midst of our graduation ex- ercises and the joy that goes with them, and the fact that school will be closed for a few months, let us pause for a few minutes to discuss one of the most vital issues that confronts the American people of today, that of reforestation. The problem of reforestation can be solved by the coming generation, those of us who are in school at the present time. The problem of re- forestation is an immense problem and without doing some reforestry, the United States cannot continue to lead the world in commercial pros- pect. Think, what would become of your happiness and comfort, if there were no trees; glance around any place you are and note the number of articles made from wood; the realization of what the whole world w ould be like if there were no forests to supply the wants of millions of people. The cause of the recent Mississippi flood was the lack of forests; the states of the Upper Mississippi and Missouri rivers did not have sufficient trees to hold the water in the ground; consequently, the large amount of water swept down the valley and caused millions of dollars worth of damage. Forest fires in the United States during 1924. cost nearly a hundred thousand dollars a day. No country in the world can stand such a drain on her forests for any great length of time. The immense loss caused by the Mississippi flood and by forest fires needs definite considera- tion, for such a loss threatens the property of the country. Absolute denudation would spell the end of America, and this will happen if some thing is not done. Every European country has en- acted laws for the preservation of their forests while we, who consider ourselves leaders in almost every line, have fallen so far behind that there is slight hope of catching up for many years to come. The consequences of forest unpre- paredness must not be learned at the cost of our national future—that would be too costly. Public opinion can bring action that will enact a national forest policy in the only large country that is without one. Friendship Jane Huselton What is a friend? We are told he is one with whom you dare be your- self. We meet many people in life whom we find interesting and enter- taining for the time being, but there is always in the foreground, the real friend. He understands your nature and particular moods which often lead others to misjudge you. He likes you just as you are and wouldn’t have you different for the world! You do not have to be careful in what you say to him. He understands if you abuse or neglect him. In our years at school we find just such friends. We don’t have to look far, for we find them everywhere about us. Some will be life long friends, and a friendship like this will make the world seem bright- er and happier. The close contact of students in school helps to make ac- quaintances that they should never have the chance to make elsewhere. It would be a queer world if the word “friend” were unknown. True friends make life worthwhile. 70 THE SENIOR MAGNET Autographa 72 THE SENIOR MAGNET Athletics It seems Butler always produces a good basketball team and this year was no exception. This season we started out with but one man who played regular all last season. Tony Betty, and two men who played regu- lar the last half of the season, Kran- kota and Dickson. Storey who earn- ed a letter the season before was the other letter man. Kerr, Werch, Downing, and Cross were promising men who turned out for the first practice of the season. The fact that he did not have many letter men to work on did not alarm Coach Bernlohr. He set out to mold a winning basketball team and did. As the opening of the W. P. I. A. L. season drew near it was evident that we would have a classy team in the field. We opened the season by taking a defeat from Schenley 21-14, but this did not phase our hopes in the least. Our team played them up until the last quarter when they weakened a little and Schenley scored ten points. The team’s next game was at Ford City and we defeated them 27-12, in a well earned victory. Our next opponents were the Alumni, composed of some of the best players the High School ever pro- duced, but they were no match for our smooth functioning machine who defeated them 31-19. At this time, Erie Central, who were on a barnstorming trip stopped here and handed us an 18-12 defeat. This did not discourage anybody in the least as they were an experienced team and did not show up any better than our fellows. The next game was the opening game of our league season and was played at New Brighton. When the final whistle blew Butler was leading 28-13 and chalked up its first league victory. The following game was played on our own floor with Beaver Falls whom we trimmed 22-3. Not so bad for a green team. Evans City took its turn next by taking a 32-20 defeat. Our next jaunt was to Mars where we annexed our fourth straight vic- tory 34-18. Ellwood came to Butler with a nicely balanced team, but our fellows took them over 26-18. The next game was one of the classics of the season as every New Castle game is. Dame fortune, how- ever, frowned on us and w,e took the first defeat of the league season 18-10. Zelienople was the first chance the team had to vent its wrath and they swamped them 31-11. Then came the greatest surprise of the season. Beaver Falls whom we had defeated 22-3, turned tables on us and gave us a 17-14 set back. The next game saw a revision in , the line up; Betty was lost bv grad- uation, Kerr by illness. Two new men, who were not eligible at the beginning of the season became eligi- ble and took regular positions on the Varsity. These two men were Har- per and Hollock who made things hum for the rest of the season. Storey who played guard the first part of the season moved to center. The lineup at this stage was: Krankota and Hollock forwards, Storey center, and Harper and Dickson guards. Evans City was the first to test this new lineup and received from it a 20-10 defeat. This same lineup defeated Mars 37-7, shutting them out without a field goal. The next jump was to Ellwood where they won 18-6. I'he next game was New Castle on our own floor, and a determination to win brought us a 14-11 victory and VARSITY BASKETBALL SQUAD Back Row—'Mgr.

Working to keep our record clean the team took Zelienople over 26-14, and closed the season by defeating New Brighton 33-16. As we had to play New Castle for sectional honors we took Kittanning on in a practice tilt and defeated them 38-20. The next game was the New Castle game played at Pitt stadium where we fell before their attack 36-21. Taking the season as a whole, it was a grand success. We did not win the section but we fought to the last ditch a New Castle team that had won the championship in the W. P. I. A. L. last year and had practically the same players back. The season was also a financial suc- cess, every home game seeing a packed Gym. The men who played on this team and received letters are: Betty, Storey, Krankota, Kerr, Dickson, Downing, Wersh, Cross, Hollock, and Harper. Track Team As this goes to print before the track men have a chance to perform, we cannot give any data on them. However, we do feel more optimistic of our track teams ability than ever before. Coach Mixer’s proteges are working as no other track team has ever worked and as the opening meet draws near looks as though they will make new track history for us. There were more boys out this year than ever before and more of them remained out, an honor to Coach Mixer’s system. These are the following letter-men of last year’s track team: W. Cross, Gregg, Gribb, R. Cross. BUTLER HIGH SCHOOL TRACK SQUAD Back Row—Left to right—Gribb, Kerr, Wiegand, Horwitz, Mgr., Cliquinoi, Mortland, DeRose, Coach Mixer, Angert, W.

The team had high hopes of winning the coveted honor of representing the school against the faculty, but lost that honor when then faltered in one game. The B Juniors were the only ones to defeat us and only did so by a three point margin. This slight margin however gave them the class championship. As Sophomores we placed our first team on the floor and had the unusual suc- cess of winning one game. When we became Juniors we broke about even in wins and loses. Then we became Seniors, and low and behold we had to lose one game and see the voceted championship slip from our fingers. The fellows who played on our Senior Team are: Captain Hump Erhman, Jim Groutt, Dick Lewis, Harry Dietz, Jack Lalley, Bud Greenert, Shrimp Wimer, Knute Kidd.

The letter-men are: Clarence Downing Fred Wersh Donald Seybert Evan Wimer Bill Cross. Jr, Ryan Storey Paul Turner John Harper Ronald Gregg Clyde Heinzer Mike Zabowsky Chalmers Greenwalt Albert Krankota Ray Cross John Dickson Frank Gribb William Staples Frank Hollock Mervin Dufford Carl Burtner. Stoolie Stering Kidd, Stoolie Walter Wiecks Marvin Kerr Ray Snyder Baseball Team Seeing the baseball team in action makes us think of championships, but not having played any games yet we can make no predictions. Coach Bernlohr has many stars back from the team of two years ago, and some new men who look like real baseball players, to build his team around. With good players and “Billy” to coach them, there should be no pessimism as to what kind of a team Butler will have in the field this year. Basketball is not among the things for which our class is famous. The Girls’ A Senior Basketball team was not a championship team, but it came up to the average. If good-time, good-will, and high spirits are what make good teams, ours was way above the average. The line-up of the team was not the same for the three years; we lost some players each year and gained others. The following are the girls who played during the past season; all three years: Alice McAndrew, captain and center, proved herself a very capable lead- er. Her floorwork, passing and shooting were a real inspiration to the team. Jane Vanderlin and Florence (“Skinny”) Hall are our star forwards. Do you remember the night Jane came in at the second half and brought the score so that we beat the Sophomores? Dorothy Daubenspeck, Dorothy Smoyer, Freda Rosen and Kathryn McCamey played guards. Kate Bickel and Lenore Daugherty got the ball as it was tipped off to side center. Altho’ the season was not a huge success (considering that we won only two games out of five) it really did measure up comparatively well with the remainder of the class teams, save the B Juniors, who won five out of five games, and got the class championship.

Critchlow, Rosen, McCamey, Cjach Moore, Daugherty. 0 Front Row—Beckel, Daubenspeck, Captain McAndrews, Vanderlin, Smoyer. 80 THE SENIOR MAGNET Our Letter Men Letter-men was one thing our class failed to produce in quantity. In our four years in High School, we only placed three men on athletic teams, who were able to earn their letters. Frank Gribb This hig boy is weight man of our Track Team, hurling the discus and putting the shot, and throwing the javelin as though there was nothing to it. He also starred on our Foot- ball team. Frank played in the line and it took a mighty good man to take him out of a play. Frank’s football was retarded somewhat by two bad knees, which he hurt in mid-season. He is also very popular, being voted the best athlete in the class. He car- ried away Five letters. Donald Seybert This handsome lad took chances on his good looks by catching on our baseball team. Being ineligible this year the team sure felt his loss when a quick peg to second was necessary. Bud was one of the mainstays of our Football Team. Filled with fight and real playing ability he made the going rough for our opponents. Bud was also a member of the Basketball squad. Two more letters were received how- ever, by the student manager route. Although we did not produce in quan- tity, we did one thing. IVe produced in quality. Evan Wimer “Shrimp” upheld Butler High’s re- putation as always having a good center on their Football Teams. This boy spelled bad luck for our oppon- ents as he smeared their plays. When “Shrimp got hold of an opposing back, he never got away. Wimer was lost to the team for part of the season through a broken finger. He was also “President of our Senior Class.” Carl Burtner Carl got his letter as student mana- ger of the Football Team. It was due to his hard work the fellows could get much of their tackling prac- tice. Anyone who saw him hanging on the rope which held the dummy up can appreciate why' I say hard work. Sterling Kidd Knutes’ letter also came from a stoolie-ship, he was student manager of the Basketball Team. Knute hand- led more money than any other stoolie in High School ever handled and the way he handled it can reflect nothing but credit on him. ►, v. ( 82 THE SENIOR MAGNET CLASS NIGHT At 8:15 Tuesday evening, June 5, 1928, the curtain on the stage in the auditorium arose, revealing as digni- fied a group of graduates as was ever viewed in Butler High. After a brief address of welcome to the parents and friends of the class by Evan Wimer, class president, the class entertained with a song. Then came the program, and what a program it was! Jane Vanderlin and Henry Seigfried, diminutive comedienne and comedian, presented the donors. Much laughter greeted the presentation of each gift, some of which contained subtle slams for the receivers. The class prophecy was given by Dorothy Daubenspeck and Einar Guttormsen, who predicted what would befall members of the class in years to come. The next feature was the class will which was presented by Gertrude Brandt and Daniel Heineman. Every- thing from second-hand chewing gum to good looks was left to underclass- men. Elra Greenawalt and Mary Louise Maxwell, celebrated artists of the class, next spoke on the subject, “Car- toonists,” which was well received by the audience. Jingles on the members of the class were recited by William Cross and Kathryn Eisler. Who would ever think that Alice McAndrew could speak on liars? It is very easy to believe why Paul Em- rick, who assisted Alice in this feature was selected for this subject-. Paul is a member of the Last Minute Club, you know, and often indulges in the practise of prevarication. However, the act was well put on by the pair. At various times during the evening, the class entertained with songs. The Glee Clubs also helped us out along this line, and as the curtain fell, the orchestra played a number. The Class of June, 1928, had completed the second step of its Commencement, which was declared “the best ever.” Commencement Our Commencement exercises were held June 7, 1928. The general theme was, “The Growth of Music.” The subject was a modern one and was both interesting and instructive to the audience. The growth of music was discussed in detail by the following honor students: Salulatorian—Babyhood of Music - - Isabel Stamm Childhood of Music - - - Annie Laurie Stock Music Becomes a Youth - - - Laura Seibert Music Comes of Age - - - - Walter Wigton Pioneers of Music - - - Margarette Moore Opera Makers...................Jane Huselton The Valedictory—America’s Contribution to Music - .............................Margaret Keister Presentation of Diplomas How good they looked to the starving mob. THE SENIOR MAGNET 83 THE ORCHESTRAS Every chapel speaker in our experi- ence (and we’ve heard a few) has opened his talk, speech, or oration with some remark about his pleasure at addressing such a fine body of students. We snicker and sniff and swell up inside and take unto our- selves all credit regardless of the fact that we sang only the last three words of the preceding hymn. Now., strain your imaginations a bit. Try to visu- alize the orchestra coming in on one phrase only. Can’t be done? Of course not. It’s never happened. We’re not giving a lecture on the advisability of singing in chapel. Chil- dren never profit by the words of their elders anyway. We’re merely writing up the orchestras. Now take this chapel orchestra. Our singing would sound like nothing human with out them, but the instant the cornet runs out of wind or a violin flats a sharp, half the audience lose their places in the hymn to search out the offender. If you must lose your places, why not try it when the cornet holds a note six counts? It’s much better at the plays. At least a third of the audience always remembers to applaud after each se- lection. Of course, the orchestra doesn’t mind that. They’d be frigh- tened if they got enthusiastic applause and besides they get to see all enter- tainments from true orchestra seats. They always know who was scared and who forgot his lines and who missed his cue and they always laugh at the black lines that are wrinkles to the rest of the audience. Our orchestra gets more complicat- ed every year. Some day I predict that orchestra will be a regular sub- ject. As it is, the Junior Orchestra takes in all aspirants, and Miss Kra- mer sees to it that their apprenticeship is comprehensive and full of work. The Senior Orchestra fills the gymn- asium with harmonies (?) and con- tinues to try unsuccessfully to con- vince Mr. Schoier that the clock is fast and there’s time for one more. The Seniors who will watch the clock no more, are: Richard Blymiller, Raymond Conabee, Raymond Flack, Walter Wigton, Thelma Wagner, Helen Mortland, Duncan Stamm. --B.H.S.-- THE GLEE CLUBS The Glee Clubs were, in time past, activities of which only colleges and academies boasted. In 1908, Prof. Bingham noticed the need in our school for some activity besides ath- letics, and he organized a Boys’ Glee Club. However, Miss Rose McNees had organized a Girls’ Glee Club in 1906. These two instructors direct- ed the clubs until 1916, when Mr. George Bob Wick, the present direct- or and instructor, took charge. Some of the best singers of this city and immediate vicinity first re- ceived real vocal instruction as mem- bers of the Glee Clubs. Glee Clubs of colleges gain much when a B. H. S. vocalist enters their midst. Many members of the college Glee Clubs have been developed in B. H. S. Be- sides being taught music (by the way, the music is all divided into parts. Each vocal part is taught by note) the Glee Club members develop poise and ability to face an audience. The Glee Clubs sing at various public and civic affairs, before the different serv- ice clubs of the city, and in the spring entertainments. Usually the enter- tainment is an operetta, giving a chance to some to display their vocal talent as soloists with the rest in the choruses. On several occasions dur- ing the school year the Glee Clubs 84 THE SENIOR MAGNET appear before the student body, a fea- ture of our school year which is very enjoyable. The Glee Clubs furnish part of the musical program at the graduation exercises. The Boys’ Glee Club will lose only three members in June, but they are going to be missed. The three mem- bers of this Class of June, 1928, who sing in the Boys’ Glee Club are Paul Sleigher, Rodney Stewart, and Wil- liam L. Cross. The Girls’ Glee Club, though not started as soon as the boys, has work- ed its ways up to an equal standing with the latter. This year there has been a change or rather an addition to the organiza- tion in the form of the Girls’ Junior Glee Club. This club is made up of the “next bests,” in the try-outs, and they are promoted to the senior club when there are vacancies. The Girls’ Junior Glee Club is under the direc- tion of Miss Ella Allgood. The new plan is working out admirably and both clubs deserve credit. This spring, the usual operetta was replaced by numbers by the musi- cal organizations and a one act play. As a great many members of the approximate thirty in the Girls’ Glee Club graduated in June, 1928, there were many vacancies to be filled. Na- turally the Seniors had first chance and filled almost all of these places. For that reason a great majority of the glee club members belong to the present day graduation class. These girls are: Jane Huselton Johanna Milheim Elizabeth Donaldson Kathryn Eisler Kathryn Sherman Alice Claypoole Helen Mortland Dorothy Smoyer Jane Roessing Audrey Wilson Anne Piroch Magda Otterson Elra Greenawalt Mary Barton Clara Stamm Thelma Wagner, pianist. —b.h.s.— LAST MINUTE CLUB The Last Minute Club originated years ago and has wandered on through the ages without any cere- mony until its recent organization. It be came popular and grew until it is hard to get into such a club as this. The purpose of the club has been questioned, may this be made clear before Seyler takes over the Mogul- ship. The members of the club never seem to get started until the rest are gone. At this time companions are few and the club has a privacy in its meetings that would not otherwise be known. Good fellowship is enjoyed at this time as no hangerons, we might say, have a chance to pester us. This is a wonderful advantage. The club is different, unique, and boasts of a record. Its main purpose is good fellowship (as has been proven). May the originators and members of this club bequeath the responsibility of the club to Seyler and what as- sociates he may collect. May it flour- ish till it outscores the Billy Goat order. In closing we bid farewell to Mogul Gluckman, the exalted; to Kleikle “Speed” Conabee; to Angus, the prevaricator; to Emerick, the ad- miral ; and to Grout, the movie star. May their memories linger on and their trade marks last in 213. Amen. SENIOR MAGNET COMMITTEE Front Row—Vanderlin, Huselton, Greenert, Burtner, Wimer, Maxwell, Barton. Second Row—Cross, Geibel, Eewis, Kemper, K. Moore, advisor; Ne.vman. Back Row—Eisler, Greenawalt, M. Moore. 86 THE SENIOR MAGNET Who’s Who Most Popular Dorothy Sprexki.e — Everyone knows that dot and dash generally go together. Well, here is more proof. Her smiling disposition, ready repartee and strong person- ality win admirers and friends where ever she goes, and make her the most popular girl in our class. LeRoy Greenert—And no won- der! Everyone, none excluded, likes him and Bud returns it. He and his curly hair are very good- looking, too. What he has done for the class lately, is an example of what Bud does for his friends all the time. Best Looking Janet Forsythe—In this the A Senior class voices its opinion, held through high school of one of its two best-looking members. It is enough to say, Helen of Troy and Janet Forsythe. James Groutt—Did you ever see a Greek God in action? And Jim- my’s clever, popular, and sporting, besides. He’s one of the particular members of the class that the rest boast about and a leader among his friends. Most Versatile Boy Carl Burtner—When it comes to doing things, and doing them up in the right way, “leave it to Carl Burtner,” is the sentiment of our class, as expressed in our recent class election. Most Versatile Girl— Mary Barton—Is ther anything Mary Barton can’t do? Absolutely not! Mary has done a lot for our class in the way of basketball and glee club, aside from her wonderful work as Literary Editor, and con- tributor to the “Magnet.” Best A thlete Jane Vanderlin—If Jane were our best athlete only we could bet- ter express what she means to the class. As a grain of sand is to a cultured pearl, so Jane speaking of pearls, is to us. Frank Gribb—Frank is the only one of us who has held up the hon- or of the class in athletics, to a great extent. Football and track are his specialties—also cheer lead- ing. Best Dancer Jane Husei.ton—We could use all the flowery words in the diction- ary to describe her, and truly too, but we will just say that Jane is about the best dancer we’ve ever met anywhere, to say nothing of the best in our class. And we’ll advise that as soon as you have a chance, dance with her. Edgar Geibel — Those that know Eddie know how perfectly he dances, and those that don’t know have things yet to learn. Best Sport Florence Hill — Who doesn’t know Skinny? And who doesn’t know her laugh and her teasing manner. She’s a darn good kid and every one agrees with that. Richard Lewis—A good sport! Fair and square! It is perhaps the greatest compliment that can be given to a person. And Dick, be- fore everyone else in the class de- serves and has won this name. Cleverest Thelma Wagner — Music soothes the wild beasts, so the c’ass, soothed, decided to crown Thelma the queen of all clever girls. Dan Heineman — Conceited enough to believe we speak the language of the multitude, Dan shouldn’t have a very hard time convincing the world that he is clever, since we never even con- sidered anyone else.

Sir Buckingham A pretty and conscientious young lady accepted part of the responsibility for this illustrious club. Being a for- mer member of the club, it was rather hard for her to conceal her identity, but we think she succeeded. As the time draws near for the identification of the Lords and Ladies, Lady Archi- bald finally agrees that her real name is Alice McAndrew. Lady Percy, T. M. R. Another young lady of our class, who denied that she knew anything about the club, has finally given up in despair. Fate was against her, but w'e know she tried hard to be Lady Elite, her former title. But you know these distinguished titles sometimes get the best of you. Lady Percy is none other than Janet Forsythe. Lady Baltimore A brillian member of our A P Club, is one who has helped us in many ways. She helped to make this club a success in their new idea of having a Lady Archibald and a Lady Percy. We know everyone will miss her cheerful smile that seemed to be everywhere. We take great pleasure in introducing Lady Baltimore as Clara Koerner. Lady Doling ham An other member ond a good sport. She has helped to make the Senior Magnet the best one ever produced, by her clever drawings. This mem- ber is really talented, and we wish her all the success in the world in her future work. In choosing one so artistically inclined. Lady Doling- ham could be none other than Mary Louise Maxwell. The most popular boy of our class. We wonder. He has certainly helped to maintain for the Magnet the suc- cess it has been for such a long time. He has been just as much a success with the girls—but we are not dis- cussing that. This wild and dashing man could be none other than “Bud’ Greenert. Sir Nottingham The comedian of our class. Now. I wonder who that could be. His wit and humor have helped to build up our joke department. His work has been invaluable and the school will surely miss his cheery “Hcwdy!” Who could the name, Sir Notting- ham, fit but Bill Cross. Sir Effingham Our man of intelligence. Quiet of nature and wears a smile that any- one would envy. Editor of the best magazine published by a high school. We ought to be proud to have such a student in our school. We introduce with greatest pleasure Sir Effingham as Carl Burtner. Sir Roderick The most notable of our class. Our club would not be complete without him. He has proved himself worthy in the way he has received the “ads’ from our business concerns. We wish him success in the future and who knows he may even be Presider t of the United States. Who could Sir Roderick be but Evan Wimer. Lady Pembroke A smart young lady of the B Sen- ior Class helped to make up our club THE SENIOR MAGNET 91 as a school representative. Her con- tributions were appreciated and we know the club wdll profit by more of them in the future. We wish you success next year Lady Pembroke, or as she is well-known, Thoma Prigg. Lady Victoria A dashing, dauntless, courageous little “blond.” With her wit and humor she has proven to be a popular young miss of our school. We cer- tainly are proud to have her as a member of our illustrious club. She fills all the requirements to fit her name. Lady Victoria, of course, Betty Manny. Sir Aldwinkle A bashful young man bears this name. As a school representative, he has proven to be one of the best. Without his humorous contributions, our joke department could not have been complete. And is he a poet— look out girls. Sir Aldwinkle is none other than Arthur Moxey. Our Faculty Advisor Our club could not have been com- plete without our faculty advisor. One who has helped us every time we were in need of help. This person has certainly been faithful and the ap- preciation of this fact cannot be ex- pressed. The one who deserves this credit is Mr. Joseph C. Kradel of our dear faculty.

LOVE AFFAIRS • Our Class excels in its various love affairs. Don’t laugh at the following because all are authentic reports. Shrimp Wimer, our illustrous presi- dent and the petite kitchen maid. Hel- en Pride—5 foot 2x6 divided by 10. Bud Greenert and the long lost love, K. L. Gumpper. Looks too bad. The feeling seems to be mutual. Dorothy Sprenkle and her college boy-friends. Nuf ced.„ Jimmie Groutt likes to go down on Mifflin street. Bertha seems to be a stimulant to Jimmie and it seems that he needs a stimulant quite often. Good luck, Jimmie. Dick Lewis is deeply in love with— guess who! Ah ! I knew, you’d guess correctly. With himself, of course. Next to himself, Dick likes his B. V. D.’s We are only insinuating. You may do the rest. Mary Barton is planning for a late June marriage with Ryan Storey. We don’t know whether to pity him or offer him congratulations. Well, do as you like. Bill Cross is deeply in love with— anything that wears skirts. If Bill’s love was extended to the moon, it would make five trips before becom- ing exhausted. Jane Forsythe has taken a liking to a certain teacher, but only those hav- ing the inside dope are aware of the fact. (Seniors exempted.) —b.h.s.— MEDLEY Sis and Kate It was a “Lucky Day” for “Red Hot Henry Brown,” when the Sweet- heart of “Sigma Chi” came to “Dix- ie.” Henry said. “Ain’t she Sweet’ and ‘Is she my Girl Friend’' ”; later, “ ‘I Love You.’ ” She said, “ ‘Did You Mean It?’ ‘If You didn’t I’d be ‘Oh—So Blue’ and ‘Brokenhearted’ He replied, “We’ll ‘Always Be at Peace with the World’ in a ‘Bunga- low of Dreams’ ‘West of the Great Divide,’ ‘In a Little Spanish Town,’ under the ‘Silver Moon’ and ‘Let the Rest of the World Go By’ ”. “Whis- pering”, “Suppose I Had Never Met You, Dear’ ”, she replied—“Then it Would be ‘Mending a Broken Heart’ for ‘Somebody Else ”. Someone asked “ ‘Why Don’t You Marry the Girl?” “At Sundown” he did. Soon “Baby Feet Went Pitter- Patter,” “Poor Papa” and then “No More Worry” in “My Blue Heaven.” “Baby’s Growing Older Every Home ”. When she goes out “In Day” and we ask “ ‘Why Men Leave the Middle of the Night,” singing “ ‘Tonight’s My Night with Baby’ ” and rides up and down the “Eight Mile Road” sighing “ ‘Gimme a Lit- tle Kiss, Willya, Huh’ ” he replies “ ‘Is That Nice’ ” and brings her home at Three O’clock in the Morn- ing” or “At Dawning” and she yells “ ‘Thanks for the Buggy Ride’ ‘And Then—And Then I Forget’. Finis. —b.h.s.— WE WONDER WHY Louise Tritch and Helen Turner run together. John Nittolo is so quiet. Paul Hykes is so crazy about shoot- ing pool. Edgar Geibel dances so gracefully. Dorothy Sprenkle paints her cheeks. John Gerstner prefers blondes. Walt Harmon upholds the label of Firestone Tires. Abe Green does not grow a beard. Alma Stanley acts so foolish. Margaret Fisher prefers to live in the country. Sophie Blisak grew so tall and fat. Henry Follstaedt drives a Ford in- stead of John. Lyle Lassinger is so sweet. THE SENIOR MAGNET 93 Frank Gribb despises girls. Dorothy Daubenspeck is so inter- ested in “Don.” Florence Hill plays basketball. Arthur Kemper is so pathetic. Jessie Simpson runs with “Tony.” Ann P'roch likes music. Jane Roessing is so big. Henry Seigfreid hangs around the women. Anna Dinstbir don’t reduce. Freida Rosen’s nose is artificial or natural.
