Page Twelve CARING FOR THE BABY WHEN YOU ARE BUSY DOING SOMETHING ELSE Most everyone says that babies are the most cunning, sweet, amus- ing things in the World. Well, to be agreeable I'll admit that they can be cunning, sweet and even amusing but I will also say that they can be quite the opposite. Every time anyone says such things about the young rebels, I could find the greatest delight in asking if he had ever had the op- portunity to tend one. I haven't had the privilege of being a nurse- maid, but just let me tell you that when you have a darling little baby brother with curly hair, or a beau- tiful little blue-eyed darling for a sister, then you find out how sweet they can be and just how triiiing and disgusting they can be, too. I happen to have a most wonder- ful little blue-eyed brother and every time I walk down the street some one will say, Oh, aren't you so proud of him? Whom does he look like? Don't you love to tend him? My answer is usually yes, but ohl, they should be around home sometime when I have strug- gled several hours with a trial bal- ance in my bookkeeping as it has a mistake of two cents, several dollars and often greater amounts. About the time that I get at the point where I would like to put the difference in my pocket, mark a hundred on my paper, then hand it in to the teacher next day, the baby has decided that he is thor- oughly disgusted lying in that crib and sets up a howl to be picked up or maybe he has lost his pacifier, or he has hidden a toy and can't find it. You sit there a While and then remember that mother has gone out or is in some other part of the house. Finally you get up and fix up the trouble yourself. Then again just go ahead and pick up a nice love story or a mys- tery and get to the most exciting part of all. The murderer has a pistol raised ready to shoot the hero when he becomes aware of someone watching him from be- hind and then there's a shot, not in the story, but right in your own home, right beside you, that nearly makes you jump out of your hide. Frightened half to death you jump up ready to run anywhere just so you get out of the house only to find that your imagination has got away from you and it was only the baby shouting and squealing for someone to come and amuse him. What can you do? Mother left you to care for him and if you don't obey his command he cries --.THE--ilflT.T.EH.T QTL-- CLASS WILL CLASS PROP!-IECY lContinued from Page 2, Col. 41 ton, Virginia Mills' and Alan Wil- kinson's athletics to Betty Robbins and Billy Wroteng Clarence Spear's height to Dicky Wells.

You put him in the crib and then steal quietly away from him anticipating the thrill of reading the rest of that mystery. You pick up the book, but no, don't be in a hurry because the baby's not asleep and is again de- manding that you entertain him. So you people that so love babies never fuss with anyone, when he says babies aren't so sweet be- cause he has probably had the great honor bestowed upon him of caring for the darling when he wasn't in the best of humor, and he himself had interests elsewhere.

So to insure this co-ordination, The cooks are of the best. Canto V The Prophet goes to the meeting of the W. C. T. U. Pauline Harris, President of the W. C. T. U. Has always been against beer. And the ofiicers of the organiza- tion, Are listed under here. Jeanette Brannock as Secretary, The Treasurer is Clara Bradley. And all of these ofiicers, Will help the nation gladly. Shirley Harding is always right, Anna Jean Keene is right, too. So these two ladies are always willing, To do their bit for you. Harold Harper is a church man, He is always against repeal. Arthur Wheatley and Lenora Todd, Are working against this with great zeal. Dorothy Lee Brannock, I saved her for the last. For in the year of '36, She was the pride of the class. I've come to the end of my journey, I've come to the end of my trail, None of the classmates are in trouble, And none of them are in jail. This is a glorious finish, To my trip through the world. The boys are all great guys, And the ladies are all great girls. And now my trip is finished, And I must go back to work. But the thoughts of the old class, In my mind will lurk. The class was always happy, And striving all the way, And we can thank the Lord above us, They are all with us today. Now as the sun goes down in the West, And the stars come out at night. The World around me is darkened, Save only the broad moonlight. As I lie in the soft grass, Beside a tree so tall. The memories of '36, I can dimly recall.

The student body appreciated this opportunity to listen to such a well-informed individual who has had such wide experience in news- paper work abroad. WE VISIT EUROPE lCcntinued from Page 1, Col. 41 it that they maintain the barbed wire fence between the two coun- tries? To keep the sheep from straying? Of course the Russians and Rumanians are friends. Only recently Russia started broadcast- ing propaganda programs near the Russia-Rumania border. King Carol heard of these and estab- lished a broadcasting station so powerful as to drown out the Rus- sian programs. And Greece, poor old Greece, just as slippery as ever. Greece has just skipped out of one revo- lution and will slip into another. fQuoted from Mr. Ramsey's ta1k.J We were next introduced to Italy. Italy, the land of sunshine-and Mussolini. Mussolini has a dream. He just got out of one nightmare and is ready to go into another. His ambition is to develop an Ital- ian like in the Mediterranean and ian lake in the Mediterranean and into an Italian sea. Mussolini is not crazy, he is mad. Youth in Italy is being trained. For Peace? Although there are many in Italy who are outwardly Fasclsts, beneath their black shirt is a red one. Then we were given an insight into Germany. Hitler is a May- pole, a mouthpiece. Hitler is a Catholic although he does not work at it very well. Herr Hitler was not the one who started the move- ment against the Jews. That started with Bismark. At that time Jews could be in the army but could not rise to the position of an oiiicer. When asked what he thought of Hitler as a man, Mr. Ramsey stat- ed, I try to be a gentleman. I would not be familiar enough with the American language to use it in its natural form. He is not the type of man I'd like to run around with. Do European nations want peace? Of course they want it, but they want their kind of peace. And what is Mr. Ramsey's solu- tion to the intriguing problems now confronting Europe? He stat- ed, Stop glorifying warg it's had a chance. Let us glorify inter- national relationsf' Emphasize four points, Economic, society, race and religion with education. Education without religion is a mirage, religion without education becomes superstition. So, in his excellent variegating style Mr. Ramsey conducted us through the turmoil of European affairs and even told us of a Mace- donian honeymoon. He gave us a graphic view of the European sit-

But so as it must to all men, After our school days are done. ' ,-We think that life is jolly, .YV 'F And all is a barrel of fun. But when wefstart out on our own, And the going is getting rough, Remember the motto of '36, And take it on the cuff. 'Y Canto I ' I fr .ggi 0 The Prophet travels to Washing- ton. I travelled far to Washington, .I had come from the West. To meet my old acquaintances, 'I tried my very best. This is the year of '59, A year to all so great. I came in, in an airplane, Instead of going by freight. My trip was uneventful, It was made in perfect ease. For Rhodessa Slacum, the air- line hostess, Had all my wants to please. I travelled from the airport, By trolley, bus, and car. The Capitol so majestic, 4Could be seen from way off far. To see our nation's Senate, At work so great and true, At half-past nine on Tuesday morn, I happened to be passing through. The Senator Mark from Arkan- sas, ',-' Had just taken the Hoor. ll And her talk on old age pension, Had ended in a roar. For Dunbar Groff from Dela- ware, Had always talked quite free. And in this special instance, He happened to be on a spree. Michigan, always against this bill, ,, Had called on Senator Hess. To uphold' its wants and needs, He would try his very best. And Thomas Phillips from Ten- nessee, Was always there on hand. To lend his home-spun philoso- Phys As only a Phillips' Can. Canto II The Prophet calls on the Presi- dent and his Cabinet. On the President of the United States, I happened by change to call. And as I entered the 'White House, I if 'viii For standing in the doorway, Was the White House Private Cop. After I told him my business, He led me through the door. And led before the President, I stood in unexplainable awe. For coming face to face, With an old class-mate of mine. Had sent a funny sensation, Running up and down my spine. Meredith Marshall, broadminded, happy, And strong of frame, Had been chosen by the nation, To lead the hall of fame. Right after entering office, His cabinet he had to pick. For men for truth and faithful- ness, These are the ones that stick. Philip Shenton as Secretary of War, And Wildai James as Secretary of State. For men so true and loyal, Who else could be so great. For Labor he picked Hansen, For Interior he chose Tall. These men were always waiting, At the president's beckoning call Webster Brown joined the navy, It was his start in life. Now he's Secretary of Navy, With Bonnie Skinner as his wife. Bill Applegarth, the Scholar, In School he was a wow, But as Secretary of Commerce, You ought to see him now. As Secretary of the Treasury, Donald Stevens fills the bill. But for his private secretary, The President took Beverly Dill. The Secretary of Agriculture, Must be one close to the land. So he appointed Clarence Spear, To lend a helping hand. To be the Postmaster General, He picked a lady, who never fails. For mischievous Anne Mae War- ner, Knows how to handle the males. A debator has his merits, An arguer has his points too, So Brotie Brotemarkle as At- torney-General, Will argue your case for you. Canto III The Prophet goes shopping. To Downtown Washington, I went as shoppers do. To buy some nick-nacks, And to get some clothes, too. I stopped in a shoe op, To buy a pair of And who should I 'as clerk, No other than Lyda Booze. Rachel Beckwith sold me neck- ties, Naomi LeCompte sold me a hat. if L Fred Fisher, the inventor, Is always making stuff. Which just goes to prove, He's nature in the rough. Fred Gray sold me an auto, And he said it would surely last But for every five miles I go, I have to fill up on gas. John Shenton is a lawyer, I saw his shingle on a door. He has had but three cases, And has only lost four. John Schneider is a doctor, His work he does with care. With Virginia Sackett, as his nurse, They are a great pair. Bill Waller is a barber, And his life is quite fair. But as far as Pauline Travers' work, She would rather dress people's hair. Clyde Keene is a Saxophonist, His music is quite gay. But Thomas Venable, the thinker, Is now a C. P. A. Louise Burton has great talent, As an athlete, she is grand. But as far as Thurston Apple- garth is concerned, HE'D RATHER LEAD A BAND. Anna Thomas is on a diet, To lose a pound of fat. But every time the loses one, She gains four more than that. Marion Wright has become a stenographer, In the oiiice, she's quite gay And with her boss, Julian Bennett, They work happily all day. Canto IV The Prophet goes to the Presi- dent's Party. At the White House, there was a party, All the celebrities were there. And gathered in the Ballroom, They were having a big affair. The Duke and the Duchess, The rich man and his wife. Were all at this celebration, A Red Letter Day in life. I wandered among the gathered guests, I talked with friends of mine. I never did see so many class- mates, All gathered at one time. There was Dorothy Gould, An actress by all rights. And Josephine Todd, Has her place among the lights. Evelyn Willey and Lillian Hur- ley, Have formed a perfect team. But when it comes to dancing, And Betty Henry is considered, The best of all soothsayers. While Audrey Booze and Alverta Clark, Are teachers by profession. They are always at the class affairs, And especially this dedication. Grace Brannock Smith was also there, She sang a song by request. To keep from throwing tomatoes, The audience tried their best. To represent the Literary Guild, Alice Collins was sent. And as the Representative of California, Came Helen Twilley, without a cent. Roy Melvin, Chief of the Bureau of Investigation, Has chased the criminals from our land. And with the aid of the G men, Has ruled with an iron hand. Irene Lidard is in the movies, Her praises are sung afar. And all of her countrymen, Have called her another star. Louise Tyler wants to travel, And wants to see the world. But she can't join the navy, Because she is a girl. Margaret West and Sara Hand- ley, A pair of dressmakers are they While Gertrude Kahl and Eliza- beth Schnoor, Are together all the day. Virginia Mills, the Temple star, Has great athletic form. But as representative of the S. P. C. A. Virginia Lee Willey does no harm. Days may come and days may 80, But Margaret Foxwell will be down to the Spot , And Sarah Linthicum, the singer, Will be down there, too. Then we come to Anna Wheatley, Always quiet and thoughtful, But Virginia Twilley and Mar- garet Gore, Are also kind and restful. Emily Marine, the head of Pea- body, Is a concert pianist in her own rights. And Betty Fountain and Martha Geoghegan, Are so high there're nearly out of sight. Marjorie McKnight, a dietitian And Evelyn Brannock, too Were in the White House kitchen, Preparing supper for you.

Page Thirteen WILL OF THE HOTTENTOT fContinued from Page 3, Col. 31 our personal and valuable proper- ty, we do direct, authorize and em- power our executor, hereinafter named, to sell at either public or private sale, any remaining publi- cations which may be on hand, with the exception of two, one we be- queath to our principal, in remem- brance of the Staff of '36, and one to the succeeding editor-in-chief, of the Staff of '37, and the amount derived from such sale, we direct that our said executor shall apply to the payment of all our just debts, incurred within the last year, and funeral expenses and the cost of administration of our estate, and the balance, if any there be, we give and bequeath to the beneficiaries of our estate, to be equally divided between them, to be used for the sole purpose of furthering the issue at hand, pro- vided, however, that if the amount received from said sale be insuffi- cient to discharge our debts, funer- al and administration expenses as aforesaid, then that the hereinaf- ter named beneficiaries shall make good such deficiency, each paying an equal share, the amount of such deficiency to be chargeable against the devise and bequest made to them respectively by our last will and testament. As to such material things as it has pleased the gods to bestow upon our unworthy selves, we do dispose and distribute these as follows: Item: Our most noted and hon- ored editor-in-chief, Mr. Wildai James, does give and bequeath to his successor, the editor-in-chief of the Staff of '37, Mr. William Sack- ett,-first, because of the import- ance it has had in attaining his achievements, that famous and easily recognized, slow smile which, when put into effect, sets the girls' hearts a-flutter. We trust, Wil- liam, that with this much envied gift, you will be more generous than our admired editor, whose blushing glances this last year have been for only one very pretty little Senior. Mr. James also leaves to Mr. Sackett, who is as yet unskilled in the art of editor- ship, the distressing mental agita- tion and the long hard hours of la- bor that he has graciously and du- tifully performed, especially that of the past few weeks, together with the authority and power that such a position entails. Mr. James leaves behind, for Mr. Sackett's benefit, one Schaeffer's fountain pen minus the point, and which is incapable of absorbing ink, a one- half inch lead pencil which has O been in the custody of the school for five years, and a package of Wrigley's Spearmint to brighten any disheartening moments Mr. Sackett may experience while ar- ranging the issues for publication. Since Mr. James can no longer en- joy the dignity, pomp and super- iority of his social status, he be- queaths these, too, to Mr. Sackett, Item: Miss Katherine Robbins, our lovely and charming Assistant Editor gives and bequeaths to Mr. Harper LeCompte the full amount of her personality plus , as well as her gracious manner and the rare gift of saying the right thing at the right time. Miss Robbins also bequeaths to Mr. LeCompte her extended vocabulary of words for his disposal. We hope you will guard these gifts very carefully and esteem them most highly, Har- per, for you will find that they are invaluable in aiding you to some- times escape difficult situations. Item: Our modest little literary editor, Miss Alice Collins, who has wrongfully been nicknamed Goo- na , by those who know her well, implying a relationship to Alice, one of the Goon Girls, does give and bequeath to Messrs. Herman Stevens and Goldey Tyler, her Slow Southern habits, to be equally divided between them, so that nei- ther may be entirely overcome by the affliction. She also bequeaths to Mr. Jory Slaughter, her some- what Southern drawl-in order that he may acquire a happy me- dium in his enunciation. Item: Miss Grace Brannock Smith, our other diligent literary composer, leaves to Mr. William Newcomb, he of the studious re- nown, and Miss Phoebe Morse, her angelic face and innocent expres- sion, which will carry you far, Bil- ly and Phoebe, when the finger of suspicion points toward you. Item: Miss Marjorie McKnight, our editor of humor, bequeaths to Mr. Calvin Slacum, her successor, the ill-will of several students for publishing their guarded secrets, also two rotten tomatoes and one grapefruit which said students heaved at her and fortunately missed. She also leaves him the privilege of becoming another Win- chell with the able assistance of his Girl Friday , Miss Elizabeth Rue. Item: To Misses Betty Robbins and Margaret Mowbray of the Staff of '37, Miss Virginia Mills gives an bequeaths her popularity with the male members of the fac- ulty. A very acceptable gift, eh what, girls? Mr. Alan Wilkinson devises and bequeaths to the male members of the Sports Depart- ment, his well-known athletic abili- ty, his famous auburn curls and his nickname of Reds , providing that you accept his freckles also. fAlan seems pleased- Good riddance of bad rubbish, he replies.J Item: Our assiduously industri- ous artist, Mr. Venable, does give and bequeath his school-girl com- plexion to any unemployed mem- ber of the Art Department of the Staff of '37 wishing to pose for Lux Toilet Soap Ads. I wonder who'll be the lucky one? Item: Mr. William Albert Brote- markle, Jr., commonly known as just Brotie , bequeaths to his successors, Miss Alva Walker and her assistant, Mr. Edward Peters, his remarkable debating ability so that they may be well equipped and prepared to stand up for the rights of the Senior Body next year, un- der the only condition that this gift be well taken care of, and prized most highly, and under any circum- stances they do not part with it. Item: To the Typing Depart- ment, because of a great desire to be absolutely perfect in their work, we bequeath all the worn-out type- writers and lead pencil erasers, with the understanding that they are to be loaned to whomever shall ask for them without regard to Race, Color or Previous Condi- tion of Servitudef' Item: To the Advertising Staff of '37, we leave the excellent sales- manship ability of our own worthy staH, which deserves the highest praise, and we sincerely hope you will have as much success as we have had this past year in secur- ing ads. Item: Miss Rowena Meredith, a member of the Junior Advertising Staff has pleadingly requested that we bequeath to her all the good looks of some member of the Se- nior Staff, in order that she may be Voted the Most Prettiestn of the Senior Class of '37, and it is with the greatest of pleasure, that we, in accord with her very earnest plea, pass on to her the blonde beauty of Anna Mae Warner. Item: Our energetic, peppy busi- ness manager from up North, where the temperature is below zero on the hottest of summer days, who has proved this year that Economy pays , does give and be- queath to her successor, Miss Doris Robbins, the full capacity of her northern brogue, together with her untiring energy and her willing- ness and desire to help others. With these bequeathments, Doris, you should be able to tantalize your friends, be of unlimited value to those about you and win the high esteem and respect of your classniates as Olga has done. , Item: To the future proof-read- THE ARCADE THEATRE The Class of 1936 See the shows that we have coming WED. and THURS., June 17-13 Bette Davis and George Brent in The Golden Arrow MON. and TUES., June 22-23 Joe E.
