Charon, the renowned Ferxyman of the river Styx, stood watching two strange forms on the shore in the land of the living. Perceiving that they were watching him closely, he directed his boat toward them. What's up now, Sihyl? he asked, recognizing one of them. I suppose you've fished up someone else to get me into trouble now. You know what hap- pened the time I took Hercules over without ,lupiter's orders. Hush, Charon, this is important. See, she has the golden branch to prove that the Father of the Gods has given her permission to enter. Show it to him, she commanded, turning to her companion. The skeptical hoatman watched as she drew forth a small golden branch from a bag she carried, and satisfied, for a time at least, he turned to the Sibyl. Well, I suppose your credentials entitle you to passage. Get in carefully- this bark is made for shades, not for great living bulks like yours? Still sputter- ing, he pushed off, but presently curiosity got the better of him. May I ask this stranger's name, he inquired, nodding to the Sihyl's com- panion. . You're entitled to know, I guess. In fact, publicity is her one salvation. The lady's name is Dolan and she's from Chicago. Finel fine! The Associated Shades of Hades-on-the-Styx welcome you, Miss Dolan, and since publicity is your aim you probably won't object to my asking the reason for your coming here. He suddenly became amiable, almost deferential in his manner. Well, you see, the Sibyl interposed, 'gshe was in the upper world in Nebraska last week and there she met a man whose name is-what-O, yes-Perlman. It seems that he was a member of a graduating class she piloted hack in the '20's. She rushed up to him, glad to see an old friend, and after a lot of no-account talk she said to him, I've never forgotten, Victor, what a wonderful class presi- dent you werelw You-I-Class president? he fairly shouted at her. THE SCHURZONE 21 Yes, I was almost! You're trying to make me angry, aren't you? We'll see who's paying for this-insult. He grew angrier every second and finally called upon Jupiter to punish her forgetfulnew. Called upon Jupiter! Didn't he realize the seriousness of that? And what did Jupiter do? interjected Charon, visibly shocked at the mortal's rashness. Jupiter sympathized with him, and ordered her as a penance for her forget- fulness, to discover the fates of all the members of that class. He gave her per- mission to come down to Hades to find those who had departed and to learn from the Three Witches the fates of those still on earth. Charon nodded sympathetically to the living one as he anchored his boat on the shores of Hades. Are you going to help her find all of those in Hades?,' he asked the Sibyl. Impossible, Charon, I have to hurry back and prick a thousand leaves with misleading verses before sun-down. I am going to turn her over to one of the persons in that fatal class of hers and let him collect his fellow-members so that she may learn their fortunes more easily. Her task is extremely diiiicultf' She grasped the earthly woman's arm as she spoke and led her unceremoniously away. Presently they reached a building with a sign on the front, INFORMATION- EVERYTHING FROM THE STYX TO TARTARUSY' Here they entered, and the Sibyl addressed the shade in charge, explaining the .teacher's mission, and asking for an available member of the class. The shade, who resembles Socrates a bit, picked up the shade of a telephone and after a moment's conversation, turned to them. He'll be here in a few moments. Won't you ladies sit down and rest for a minute? Miss Dolan had scarcely had a chance to take in the beauties surrounding her, for it was the shade of a most magnificent ofiice, done in white marble and black walnut with rose-hued draperies in profusion, when a voice arrested her. She turned around and faced-Bert Spinner. ' Why, Miss Dolanf' he fairly shouted, You! in Hades! What has hap- pened? Don't be alarmed, Bert, she managed to say, I have urgent business here, and I need you dreadfully. She hastily explained her mission and he tried to console her. Now that you are in safe hands, interrupted the Sibyl, I mustgleave you. As the Sibyl disappeared, Spinner rushed to the telephone and talked earnestly for a few moments. ' You can't possibly guess what that childish class of your is doing, Miss Dolan, he began, as they walked toward the interior of Hades. They are planning a sleigh ride party with oyster stew at the Spook's Haven afterwards. I don't suppose you ever heard of one on this side of the Styx, did you? No, I'm certain that sleigh ride parties were never included in my notion of Hades. But who will be there? I-Iaven't any idea, but I saw something interesting on my way over here. You remember, don't you, how cruelly Aeneas treated Dido in Virgil's story? Aeneas was always Ruth Paulson's idea of a cad, and you ought to see the poor shade now. That girl has led him on-angled him. He's mad about her. In a couple of days, she told me, she's going to drop him flat! Dido will be avenged. 23... L L THE SQHHRZUNE Dear! dear! Is this what my children are doing! Why-what's this? she gasped. Tartarus, he answered briefly, this is the fiery place all mortals fear. The furnaces are overcrowded now with all sorts of sinners. See that man yonder, frantically waving a roll of blue-prints? He's our old friend, Lyman Warren, designing the new addition to- the hot place. Look, Miss Dolan, look! There's Freddie Haase over there shoveling coal into the biggest furnace. rg, Oh, the poor boy! He must have done something fright- ful-misspelled a word, maybe. And the sympathetic mortal proceeded to dab her eyes with the corner of her handkerchief. JKQJJ5 V, , QW '4Do you think it'll be cold enough for our sleigh-ride to- L Q night, Bert? inquired a voice from behind. 'gWell, if it isn't Miss Dolan! it continued in amazement. Don't you recognize me? Why, Raymond Olson! How silly-of course I know you. Are you going on the sleigh-ride, too? I'm anxious to knw who will be there. I wish you had time to come along, Miss Dolan, he replied. Bob Gabel is coming, but you'd never guess who his lady is. Do you remember Sarah Bennan? Well, she's captured Bob. He's hopelessly lost, too. Alice Erdmer is breaking the rule in bringing an outsider-a handsome blond. But some of the couples need only be, mentioned, Hazel Ameson and our infant wonder, Eisemang Helen Anderson and Harold Friedman, of the famous F2H, none more unusual than Helen Schow and Norman David. There really is no accounting for taste-take Blanche Weisel-she's coming with Paulson. Pedler will be there with Lillian Grant, and I suppose if Ellen says so, she and Schultz will come-Ellen Seegard, you know. Let's see, that leaves only Maurine Ritchie and her tall, dark man. Oh! I almost forgotf, he hastened to add, Elton Nealy is driving the sleigh. He turned teamster years ago. That's not so bad, broke in Spinner before Miss Dolan could speak. Just look at Pauline Brewer. She's a chemist manufacturing a new brew. She makes gallons and gallons of it a day at her factory. And she makes it out of crab apples and lime water. And have you seen the latest arrivals in our midst? Lil Zwick and Abe Rubin died romantically last week, and by this time they're prob- ably settled in a rose-covered cottage. This is a big night, too. Herbie Pettersen is delivering'a lecture on entomology in the Elysium Auditoritun. That dark spot yonder is the cave of the Three Witches where we must seek news of those still living. Don't be afraid. They're frightful creatures but really harmless. You have been told this mortal's mission, he said to one of the Sisters, as they entered the cavern. Have you mixed the magic potion? Then came from the Three in a creepy nasal tone- Our potion we've made and tested and tried, Of an icicle stewed, and a. pyramid fried, The hoof of a mule and an elephantis hide, The heart of a cootie, the blood of a whale, The skin of an oyster, the shell of a snail, . All boiling and bubbling now call up their tale. X THE SCHURZONE 4 25 September, 1917, to January, 1918- The Good Ship '20 had a Soccer team which was coached so ably that during shore-leave, combating with the teams of other ships, won the championship. Rigorous inspections before entering Junior Harbor. Captain worried much as to the safety of the ship. Roughness of waves from Mathematics and History Shores failed to founder the vessel. February to June, 1918- A great day for us as we entered Junior Harbor. Bunting draping ship and band playing on board. All lined up on deck and assigned new duties. Ship's surgeon much alarmed by epidemic of spring fever. The oilicers planned an elaborate entertainment for the crew at the Port of Pleasure. A Hop was given at Top Gallant Hotelg delicious refreshments were served. September, 1918, to January, 1919- Cruise continued, but in Science Bay and English Gulf strong gales were encountered. Several sailors lostg sea too choppy to attempt a rescue. On their two weeks' shore-leave the sailors distributed baskets and money to relieve the unfortunate condition of the poor. February to June, 1919- A memorable day spent at the dignified demonstration of raising the flag for our last annual voyage. The sailors repeated their success in athletics of a former year by winning the Basketball Championship instead of Soccer. Some of the sailors amused the remainder of the crew by a presentation of the play, She Stoops to Conquer, in the ship's amphitheatre. Today we sighted from starboard a beautiful ship, wonderfully lighted and sailing the waters like a huge swan. She approached nearg and we hove to the Ship of '19. We exchanged greetings, and then entertained our distinguished visitors by a program, refreshments, and dancing. She told us of her voyage and then moved on. ' t After this notable event, we unfortunately struck the Senior Sand Bar, but after pronounced difficulty the wind assisted us to reach Senior Harbor. September, 1919, to January, 1920- As we neared our final destination, westopped at many islands, where enter- tainment was afforded. All the sailors found Green River very delightful. The end of the four-year cruise is near, as we shall reach the Port of Gradu- ation the thirtieth of January, if all goes well. All sailors have been tried and proved true, and the associations made during the cruise are exceedingly pleasant, and the memories of them will remain some of the most delightful of our lives. What a conflict of emotions-we are happy to reach the goal, and reluctant to say farewell to our comrades, but the bigger cruise of life is before us.

W 'lllllll' WE, the February Class of 1920, of the Carl Schurz High School, of the City of Chicago, in the County of Cook, in the State of Illinois, of the United States of America, aware of the fact that soon we will be no more, and wishing to provide for the disposal of all our possessions acquired during our short but troubled existence, do hereby publish and declare this to be our Last Lucrative Legacy, laboriously made, and lingeringly and lugubriously left: FIRST: We hereby appoint Mrs. Flanagan to be executrix of this our Last Lucrative Legacy, requesting said executrix to conduct our funeral with all due decorum, gravity, and sedateness. We further ask that the following lines be inscribed on a fitting monument for our last resting place: Here lies the February Class of 1920, Knowledge, wisdom, and homework it had a-plentyf, Immediately after our demise we wish said executrix to pay all our funeral expenses and fulfill the bequests hereinafter given. SECOND: After said expenditures have been paid, we give, leave, and bequeath: 1. To Mr. Slocum, our everlasting gratitude for all countless favors extended to us. 2. To Mr. Pettersen, the field glasses of the Zoo Lab., to aid him in detecting future ditchers at the Greek,s. 3. To Miss O'Leary, the records of our attendance, and all notes and excuses we have handed in. 44. To Mr. DeVelde, our weary and aching bones, on condition that all the phosphorus he may extract from them be used in preparation of that garlic-ious perfume, known as phosphin. 5. To Mr. Fisher, in his campaign against powder, paint, and perfume, the above-mentioned phosphin as a substitute for the perfumes he dislikes. 6. To Miss Beaton, the sole and divine right to use the terms: Slavery in the TERRITORIES, rattle-brain, and rise and recite. 7. To Miss Hamilton, another docile and peaceable Trigonometry Class like the one she has just had. 8. To Mrs. Benson Laughlin, the bride, a rolling pin, which speaks for itself. 9. To Mr. Lagerquist, all false notes and discords issued from our lusty vocal cords during the last few weeks. 10. To- Mr. Willard, the pencil grindings and eraser dust in the drawing room.

To the June Class, the right to consider themselves the smartest pupils in the school. 13. To the student body, the SCHURZONE, the finest school magazine pub- lished, we hope they will support it as well as past students have. Certain individuals of the class wish to bequeath various possessions, as follows: Anita Aaron leaves her graduation dress to Hertha Laube. Caroline Anderson leaves her blushes to McCarthy. Norman David leaves his bass voice to Red,' Douglas. ,lohn de Grolf wills his discarded crutches to Mr. DeVelde. Lucille Bergstrand bequeaths her red middy blouse to Red,' Veggeberg. Ferdinand Eiseman leaves the few odd pennies in the Treasury to the future Treasurer of the June Class. Pauline Brewer leaves her sunny disposition to Miss Moynihan.

Frederick Haase wills his gray matter to Pete Wilson. Ruth Haarstad wills her blue sweater to Miss Roessler. Bob Gabel bequeaths his pipe to Mr. Fisher. . Dorothy Henning leaves her modesty and good looks to Elsa Dette. Wm. Maloney gives his job of cleaning the tops of lockers to Miss Dolan. Raymer McKeone leaves his grin and profile to Mr. Plapp. Elton Nealy wills his check suit to John Ehlers. Elwyn Paxton leaves his voeiferous and stentorian razz-azz at-a-berries to no one, to the great relief of several teachers, we believe. Hazel Karnatz leaves the red U on her locker door to the next occupant. Victor Perlman gives his one vote to the losing candidate for the .lune Class presidency. ' i Edna Olstad leaves her winning smile to Mr. Pettersen. Leslie Schoenbrod 'leaves his eye-lashes to Mr. Durand. Helen Schow leaves her giggle to Walter Schwimmer. Esther Utzig leaves her pigtail to Mr. Slocum. Lillian Zwick leaves ................ with Abe Rubin. Lyman Warren leaves the editorship of THE SCHURZONE to Margaret Callsen. V To Miss Dolan, the 4'Mother of the February Class, we sincerely extend our profound gratitude for her assistance in preparing us for graduation, and for unselfrshly devoting her time to making our class a success. Many times we have come to her with our troubles and she has taken care of us as a true mother would. We have caused her many Worries yet she has kept thruout a happy smile. Truly we can never repay her. The History of the Two Year Graduating Class On the cold morning of February 4-, 1918, we, a crowd of raw recruits, had our first glimpse of Sehurz life. We gathered in the Assembly Hall after a long search for it. Here we were divided according to our choice of courses. Aftr, registering our names and our courses, we went home. The next day our life at Schurz began. We were assigned to our division rooms and given a program. Then the diliiculty of finding classrooms confronted us. Usually we reache dthe right one after traveling over the entire building in search of it. We soon became accustomed to the way things were run, and the rest of our first semester glided by smoothly under the guidance of our ever-faithful teachers. Our first party was held in May, 1918. We were entertained by Alice Ander- son, who gave a comic recitation, and by Stephana and Kazmira Banks, who played a violin and piano duet. The rest of the time was spent in dancing and enjoying ourselves. ' In addition to our regular school work in our second semester were the various war dutiesl The'Red Cross drive and work, liberty bond campaigns, the tinfo-il, and various other drives monopolized most of our spare time. This busy semester went by very quickly, and in February, ,1919, we became sophomores. Our third semester was the most eventful of our high school life. At hte beginning the Orchestra, of which a few of our class were members, gave its annual concert. Many of our classmates were out of school because of the flu epidemic. The happiest occasions were the two peace days and the return of the' Prairie Division. When the basketball team won the county championship, some of us had an unauthorized part-holiday. In June this happy year came to an end. In September, 1919, our last semester began. The proudest moment of our high school career was, perhaps, the time when we went to the Assembly Hall with the other upper classmen to hear a recitation on Abraham Lincoln. On November 4., 1919, our class was organized, and the following oiiicers were elected: ' ' Lillian Kujawa .................................. President Helen Stoelting .... .... V ice-President Dorothy Besch .......... ..... ....... S ec retary AliceAnderson .... . ..... ........................Treasurer On Tuesday, November 25, 1919, we held our first class party. As it was a Hardtimes Party, we had many laughs at the quaint clothes some of the students wore! Thus have our two years of high school life glided by, smoothly, filled with the events of our small world: We must now begin our long journey down the great highways and byways of life.

Last W ill and Testament of February Class of 720 We, the two-year graduating class of February, 1920, of the Carl Schurz High School, about to enter into the mysterious Business World, and to leave our protecting home of knowledge behind us, wish all those who are concerned, to regard this as our last Will and Testament. We especially ask that our funeral be carried out with all the splendid cere- monies that should be performed for those of high accomplishments. We request our casket to be pure white, with six pallbearers to bear it. Aeroplanes with experienced aviators shall carry to the cemetery all those wishing to attend our funeral. The flowers that we would like to have are goldenrod and violets. May our chief mourners be those who love us. As the last favor we ask the Schurz band to play at the services which will be held in the Assembly Hall of the Carl Schurz High School. All the goods that we possess, we wish to distribute among our friends after all of our debts are fully paid. We sincerely hope that our aforesaid friends will appreciate the gifts bequeathed to them as follows: First: To Mr. W. F. Slocum, our principal, the right to attend all parties given by two-year graduates. Second: To Mr. Pettersen the right to open lockers when forgetful students leave their keys at home. Third: To the remaining pupils of the Carl Schurz High School we bequeath our lockers with all the papers and ink bottles remainingg our teachers who have so wonderfully taught us the things we desire to know, and The Schurzone, that cheer-upl' paper received once a month, with the hope that these will be cherished by the receivers as something dear to the hearts of the departed. To the following we give these remembrance with good feeling: First: To Miss Theilgaard the supreme right to drill her future typewriting classes in the use of the adjective and adverb past and the verb upassedf' Second: To Miss Gehan the ultimate power to prepare future business English classes for Civil Service Examinations. May they succeed as we did. Third: To Mrs. Lewis the privilege of having charge of the coming social committees. May the members of those committees work as faithfully as did those of the 1920 class. Fourth: To the teachers who will have the future graduating classes we leave a bottle of red ink, and we hope that they will do the same as our teachers did with it, thereby leaving a full bottle of red ink to the next teachers. Fifth: To the next graduating class we bequeath the broken typewriters found in every typewriting room, and our seats often found ice cold on Monday morn- ings. Sixth: To the Athletic Association we bequeath the contributions already paid in advance. Seventh: To the Lunchrooms we leave the memories of our cheerful appear- ances eachnand every day. The Class Officers wish to leave various personal properties: Miss Lillian Kujawa bequeaths to the next president the hope that his or her class will be as orderly as the 1920 class. fContinued on page 531 Two- Year-Prophecy Scene: A Hangar in Washington. Time: 1930. CAST or CHARACTERS: . Pilots ........................ Otto Neufeldt, Norman Johnson Occupants of the Aeroplanes ...... Bernice Henry, Mildred Bickel Proprietor of the Hangar ....................... Alf Petterson Two aeroplanes arrive at the hangar. OTTO: Well, my friends, since this is the end of the trip, let's sit down a while and talk over old times. NORMAN: By the way, who owns this hangar? BERNICE: That's just what I've been wondering about. Let's go around and investigate. fEnter Mildred Bickel and Alf Pettersen.l MILDRED: Hello there! As I was wandering about this place, I was intro- duced to the proprietor, our old classmate, Alf Petterson. ALF: Well I never epected to see you all again. How is old Schurz? I heard they were installing moving stairways to lessen the waste of shoe leather. Have you heard from any of our old classmates? MILDRED: I just received a letter from Lillian Kujawa. She is assistant prin- cipal at Schurz, taking Mr. Pettersen's place, and Eaton Anderson is chief engineer there. Lillian said as she was going to school one morning, she was helped on the street car by Leon Garbarek. He is an oilicer on the Chicago Police Force. He looked very dignified in his uniform, although he was smiles from ear to ear. This surely is a funny world. NORMAN: Let me tell you of an experience I had on one of my trips to Chicago. I almost had a collision with another plane, and when I reached the ground, I looked around to see who the victims might have been. If you can bear the shock, I'll tell you. They were Eunice Abram and ,lane Cook, who had just taken a trip to .see the world championship basketball game. They said that the best players on the champion side were Helen Brandenburger, Mabel Larson, and Mildred Chris- tiansen. Near the end of the game Christie broke her wrist, and up jum.ped Emma Singleman and Dorothy Steurnagel acting as First-'Aid nurses on the field. BERNICE: Well if that isn't just like them. But I know something that is funnier than that. When I went into a repair shop to have my plane repaired, Frances Menden and Edith Knight came up to me and asked what I wanted. When we recognized each other, we laughed so heartily that both the stenographer and the secretary looked up. To my surprise they were none other than ,Iunette Ambos and Kathryn Whitlock. I was surprised to see them there. ALF: I want you to sit down and have a cup of tea while I tell of a very queer sight I saw the other day. ' fAll sit down at a table.J NORMAN: My but this is a treat! BERNICE: All right Alf, letis hear this exciting story. ALF: Well, one day as I was sitting here waiting for the mail carrier, I heard a rumbling in the street, and the voices of many children laughing. When I looked out the window I saw Ringling Brothers' circus parading down the street 412 THE SCHURZONE as stately as a king's procession. A great white horse was taking the leadg a very dignified and graceful lady, who was Stephana Banks, was standing on her toes, on t.he horse's back. Following her, in a white auto-truck were the actresses of the circus. As I singled them out, I saw Mabel Rise, Mildred Courtois, Olive Ford, Alice Dawson, Helen Stoelting, Myrtle Lund and Gladys Moe. A caged wagon was next, and a lion was inside being fed by its tamer, Edith Holt. At the end of the parade was a small band, whose leader was Jennie Zychlinski. Three familiar faces that nodded to me were Esther Erickson, Adeline Wenz, and Lillian Johnson. The end of the parade was guarded from pedestrians by two mounted police women, whom I discovered to be Irene Kummerow and Theresa Kulpinski. When they had all passed, I laughed to myself until I thought I had better get back to my work. BERNICE: Surely time waits for no man. NORMAN: Well Alf, I think we had better start for home or we'll never get there. We have quite a trip ahead of us, from here to Chicago. MILDRED! We enjoyed your tea, Alf. ALL: Goodbye. fExit All.j The same group meet in Chicago at Grant Park, one week later. OTTO: Well did you all hear the news? ALL: No. What? OTTO: I was at the Blackstone yesterday at the Democratic Caucus. As I entered, one of the maids came up to me with a whiskbroom about a yard long and gently brushed the snow off my collar. This petite little lady was Alice Schmidt. When I entered the dining-room, Edna Nix, who is the head witress there, said she had just received a letter from Alice Anderson. Alice has made a fortune by manufacturing a face powder that will not rub off. A very exciting meeting was held about 2 o'clock, which resulted in nominating Grace Holmes, candidate for mayor of Chicago. I always did think Grace would be the leader of something. NORMAN: Well I hope Grace wins in the election. If she does, we'll have to give a reception at Schurz for her. Do you know who arrived in Chicago today? The great portrait artist, Kazmira Banka, and her personal maid, Mary Hella. A home-coming party is being given for her by Florence McCaffrey, who is president of the Women's Fine Art League of Chicago. Ten years can change the lives of many people. OTTO: As I was going through the subway on State and Madison, the traliic stopped and I heard two men saying that at the next election Irwin Wuerffel was going to run for Governor of Illinois, and if he gets in, we'll have some snappy government. - MILDRED: My, but we can be proud knowing such honorables. This morning I was walking down State Street, and I saw a squad of White Wings, shoveling the snow away as if that was their last duty on earth. The squad was made up of four ladies whom I recognized to be Irene Alexstrom, Dorothy Besch, Ruth Nelson, and Helen Pisors. They are doing this work to keep in physical condition. When I got on the street car I gave the conductor my two-penny piece, and was about to go in when I saw that she was Evelyn Byrne. She had been visiting Adeline THE SCHURZONE 43 Miller, who has a boarding house at 1913 Drummond Blvd. Antonette Keller, who is private secretary to that multi-millionaire, Mr. Greenback, is spending her vacation there. BERNICE: Our classmates did choose occupations of fifty-seven varieties. Last night I was at a dance and was introduced to a great society leader, who has lately changed her name. When I saw her last, her name was Florence Gast. She had such a stunning dress on that I had to inquire where she bought it. She said she got it at a shop that deals only in ladies' apparelg the proprietress is Viola Wick. She has a Wonderful model there whose name is Frieda Weis. I always thought Frieda would be either a model or a dancer. NORMAN: Yesterday I was in Josephine Sacha's jewelry store, and after we had talked to each other about ten minutes, she said that if I waited a while I would meet her stenographer. About two minutes later, a fashionable little lady came in. She was the stenographer, Louise Nielsen. .lust before I went the mail carrier came in, and when I saw her, I nearly collapsed. This uniformed lady was Evelyn Olson. As I was about to leave, I heard a voice say, O, pardon me madam. Don't I know you?', And there stood Esther Underwood with an electric sponge in her hand. She has invented a new process for window washing, and was demonstrating it in washing the glass show case of the store. She always did like to play in water. OTTO: O, I almost forgot something. On my way up here I got into a crowd on the corner which I soon discovered to be a Suffragette meeting being conducted by the leader Adele Girard. After she had talked about forty-five minutes she announced that tomorrow tags would be sold for the betterment of the city's alleys. A list of taggers was read and among the prominent women were four of our old classmates, Elizabeth Thompson, Mildred Glaser, Katherine Kropp and Ethel I-Iarries. Two women were then appointed to collect and count the returns from tag-day. They were the treasurer and her assistant, Mildred Hrdlicka, and Mildred I-Ieimburger. That was an interesting meeting to me for I had known so many of its distinguished members. MILDRED: O, but I'd give anything to have seen Adele lecturing on a street corner. OTTO: Well, I think we'd better be going if we intend to go to that reception for Kazmira Banka tonight. ALL: Yes, let's hurry. MILDRED BICKEL, 1920. , ' u x 4 i Lane MacLane, Criminologist C. VERNER ELL1soN. Lane MacLane, famous criminologist, and I, his new assistant, arrived at the Morgan residence. John Morgan, wealthy broker, had been murdered the preced- ing night and MacLane had been asked by Henry Morgan, brother of the deceased, to take the case. Soon we were listening to Morgan giving the events of the fatal evening. ' It seems easily solved at first glance, he began, but on second thought is very perplexing. According to the maid, my brother had three vistors last night. The first, Thomas White, his clerk, came at seven, delivered a letter, and left im- mediately. James Maxwell came a half hour later, and departed in a greatly agi- tated manner. The last, William Barry, called at nine and left the house quickly. The maid, who is never allowed in the room until 9:30 and then to straighten it up, discovered the body and phoned me. I was at the club. I immediately called the police, and Bolder, here, has arrested these men, and believes Barry guilty because he has quarreled violently with John over many affairs. Yet, that doesn't explain Maxwell's strange actions. No one could enter thru the windows as they are strongly barredg the maid is absolutely trustworthy, so that proves no outsider committed the crime. As Morgan finished, MacLane asked: How do you account for the maid not seeing the body when she ushered in Barry, if, as you suspect, Maxwell did the deed? That's easily answered, Morgan replied. The maid never accompanies the visitor into the room. She takes them to the door, but they enter alonef' Then, why didnit Barry see the body. ' Morgan could not answer this. He was sorely perplexed. MacLane asked to see the room. We were led thru several rooms into one elegantly furnished but used as an oliice. The victim was lying face down with an ugly gash in the back of his head. MacLane swiftly viewed the room. with his quick eye and noted that one bot- tom corner of the desk was smeared with blood. He next examined the floor, pick- ing up a scrap of paper. So, he slowly spoke, someone who was here last night is extremely nervous. I was astounded. So were the others. How did you know that? gasped Bolder. Maxwell is the man. He has been alilicted with nervousness for years. Excellent. You see, explained the criminologist, this transfer, which I just found, has been creased and folded until it is almost illegible, showing that the holder of it was very nervous. MacLane now rummaged in the waste basket and then asked to be left alone. We withdrew. While waiting, I heard birn talk to the maid and also telephone. A few minutes later he appeared and said, smilingly: ' Maxwell is innocent. Impossible, ejaculated Morgan. fContinu.ed on page 84-J Statistics of the IVA Class Most Popular Girl ...................

GRAHAM. V A year ago I was living in a frontier town of French Lorraine called Luneville. If you look on your war map you will iind that the German line passes just outside this town. It was the first sector that the Americans took over. But they found it quiet'i and soon gave it back to the French. There were very few American boys here last year. They were fighting west and northwest of us. But Luneville had not always been a quiet sector, and even when I was there, the daily firing at the front and the frequent air raids made it quite noisy enough for most of us. In the early days of the war the Germans invaded this sector, remained a few weeks and then were forced to retreat. But they stayed long enough to burn, pillage, and ruin the country and commit such atrocities as no army ever before committed-no, not even the infidel Turks! The inhabitants of Luneville had fought hand to hand with the invaders in the streets of the town. But the town was taken and a part of it utterly de- stroyed. The German oflicers made their headquarters in the little hotel where I later lived myself. Many were the terrible, but interesting tales I heard about the German occupation. It lasted only a month. Just outside Luneville where the Nancy road climbs a steep hill, there stood a beautiful stone building belonging to a wealthy farmer. To reach it one must pass the ancient oak tree where legend has it the druids worshippd the Goddess Diana two thousand years ago. That was when Julius Caesar, with his Roman legions, conquered this country-Gaul it was then called. The old farm house dominates the country round and as you climb up a steep incline, you can See fffontinued on page 761 , . n.usxvn.1.s . L. :mm L. .

Hadd. The saddest part of the Lieutenantis exit ffor somej was the manner of his leaving. Our uinfoi' was to the effect that he was going to the state of Texas in connection wih govern- ment workg but he also made a jump into another state in which the preacher tied a knot that we hope will be everlasting. In this connection it will be noticed that the personnel of the boys' gymnasium staff has undergone an unusual number of changes this year and rumor has it that another teacher contemplates leaving us. YOU TELL HIM SO. ' The following anonymous clipping was found by your humble scribe and, believing it has a message of cheer for the blues, appends it below: If with pleasure you are viewing any work a. teacher's doing, If you like him, or you love him, tell him nowg Don't withhold your approbation till the parson makes oration, As he lies with snowy lilies on his browg For no matter how you shout it, he won't really care about itg He Won't know how many tear-drops you have shedg ' If you think some praise is due him, now's the time to uslip it to himf, For he cannot read his tombstone when he's dead. The teacher's council has finally Qlike the peace conferencel settled down to work. In the interim between debates-Miss Smith QE. LJ would like to know what are we going to do with the nflunkersf' Here are some suggestions but we don't dare to publish the names of the teachers who offered them: Pay tuition, Shoot 'em, at sunrise, take Forge or Mechanical drawing 8 periods, 3 solids with plenty of time for lunch, not enough 'cgymf' hospital ward for that tired feeling, etc. These and many other remedies have been suggested. Now we would like to hear from the Hunkers themselves. Mr. Slocum called a few of the faithfuls together in Room 210 recently to expound the beauties of the three course plan. In the writer's humble judgment, a hypodermic injection of concentrated work and a radical elimination of pleasure seekers and time killers from our midst will remove the infections and have the desired effect. Work never killed anyone, but the lack of desire to work, which THE SCHURZONE 49 is so evident and so broadcast over our fair country is an everlasting shame, dis- grace and reflection upon our educational institutions. Much food for thought is found in the lives of Lincoln, Edison, Roosevelt, Carnegie, et al. Don't be deceived, boys and girls. The paths of glory and success are not lined with roses and daffodils. Miss Robertson read a paper at the Congress Hotel Monday, December 1, on Occupational Therapy at Ft. Sheridan, before The Loyal Legion Society of which Mrs. Sabin is an active member. Some of the faculty nomads of the Xmas holidays were Miss Wise, who sojourned at Rockford, Ill. Miss Frick at Minneapolis and Miss Adams at Bed- ford, Va. They report having delightful visits, but one of these three is arousing our suspicions by taking more frequent trips than is good for single blessedness! The Christmas party this year had a monkey wrench thrown into its plans by the miners. We hope that in the uhereafteri' certain gentlemen skilled with the pick and shovel will have to shovel coal to make up for the loss we all sustained. Speaking of coal-we must certainly commend the engineers' department for staving off an enforced vacation to the bitter end. Old King Coal was a merryf?J old soul during the closing days of 1919. Peace to his ashes. V ' Mr. Luther D'Armond has severed his connection with'Schurz and has taken a position at the continuation school in the loop. Success. Sorry to see you' leave. The New Year brought wedding bells to Miss Clarissa Benson, who without the slightest hint of taking the fatal leap, was married to Mr. Laughlin, teacher in Senn High School. Here's best wishes for a delightful voyage on the matri- monial sea of life. Mrs. McDow, Miss Graham, Miss Stevens and Mr. Slocum are, at this writing, accepting the physician's attention for various indispositions due to holiday re- actions. When the Hunkers committee get ready to report it will require a special edition of The Schurzone to record the mass of information collected. But the fable states the fox ran into his hole when he saw the hound coming. Uncle Sam is trying to educate the alien in his own way. It has been found after patiently waiting these many years that a course in Salt Water travel lasting about 27 days, and graduating in Russia, is the most eiiicacious. May their increase.

Members of the graduating classes, both in the four year and two year courses, pause a moment before you take the next big step that leads from here into another world, the world either of business or higher education and listen to the voice of Schurz as she bids you good-by. Up to this time, you have been boys and girls, with but comparatively few cares to burden you, but now, in a moment, you will be men and women. A word of advice that perhaps will make the road easier. At Schurz you have been taught certain ideals, of fairness and squareness, of doing the right things just for right's sake. V i'When you leave, continue to follow the ideals, and remember-always have some ideal if you would :be more successful. Live square and play square and you will discover that things will always come out all right. l 1 TH.E.5CHU.R?O?YF...

L'Come, give me your hand and let me give you a final encouraging path. The whole world leis before you. Take and use that part, you can use the best. That's all. Now, men and women of Schurz till a moment ago, but now of the world, good-by, good luck, God bless you. . BACK THE TEAMS. About the time' that 'this issue of The Schurzone comes out, the league basket- ball season will begin and Schurz will enter the field with an unusually strong team in every division. All indications point to the fact that the caliber of the teams is sure toybe of the highest, but of one thing here is just the least little bit of doubt, and that is the school spirit. Last year the school was 100 per cent as far as spirit went. Everybody boosted the wonderful teams we had. To do it again this year is a simple matter if YOU and the rest will co-operate. Turn out en masse for every game, raise the roofs with our cheers and-just a hint for some of the more red-blooded students-donit do anything more than raise the roof with cheers. Don't try any of the ugetting the other fellow tactics, for the honor of Schurz requires that such things should not happen. But remember, all of you! Do your boosting off the field as well as on. If, by some chance, a game is lost, don't go and tell the world, Aw, I knew we couldn't win with that bunch of boobswg or anything else to the same effect, for chances are you didn't know and if you did know you neglected a sacred duty by failing to show the coaches what was the matter BEFORE the game. All right, everybody, you, me and the other fellow, let's all get together and give the teams the backing they deserve. y Yea, Schurz! WELL DONE, SCHURZ THANKS YOU A number of students whose work has gone far toward making The Schurzone a successful magazine are graduating with the February Class, and this is just a little message of thanks which they have so richly earned. Lyman Warren, Bertram Spinner, Helen Schow, Hazel Karnatz, Ruth Paulson. Anita Aaron, Elwyn Paxton, Verner Ellison, Pauline Brewer, Palma Soemo, Creigh- ton lVlcGaffey, of the staff, and our typists, Dorothy Henning, Maurine Ritchie and Blanche Weisel, who are leaving, all deserve the thanks of the students, individually and collectively for the manner in which they have done their part in making The Schurzone more successful. To them Schurz gives this little message of thanks: You had a diiiicult task, but you tackled it gamely, and the successful manner in which you completed it, proves it was a job well done. To you we extend our heartfelt thanks. ' E. T. C., '2O. THE SCHURZONE WILBUR IMBS Our Star Room-Delegate 31n illlemuriame FLORENCE HAGEN For the Hrst time in its history, The Schurzorw has lost its artist-in-chief by death. On January first, after a very short illness, Florence Hagen slipped quietly away from us. Her talent in drawing was disclosed in the November issue, when she made the frontispiece and the cover. It is no ex- aggeration to say that it is one of the very best covers that our paper ever had. She was working on the design for the present number when her work was brought to a close. Florence Hagen will be very greatly missed by The Schurzone, for we had counted on two more years of ever increasing good work. She will be greatly missed in her classes for her brilliant scholarship, which placed her second in the entire school with an average of ninety-six and a fraction. She will be missed most of all by her teachers and friends, for her gentle- ness of manner, her serenity of purpose, and her beauty of spirit which so illuminated her whole being that she was an inspiration to all who knew her. To her bereaved family, the editorial staii' of The Schurzone, the stu- dent body and the faculty of the Carl Schurz High School extend their warmest sympathy, their deepest appreciation of the sweet spirit that has passed on, and the firm convictionnthalrwherever Florence is now the place will be more beautiful for her lovely presence.

The IVA class started its organization with a boom, and as for stopping it-well, just try it and see what happens. - The committees have done excellent work for the class, and deserve special comment. The pictures have been taken, and rings and pins ordered. Now, all that remains for us to do is to graduate! 'cWhat shall among the girls. us on uthe night committee: Boys-. .

We tip our hats to you. You deserve every bit of credit you get. So far every party given has been one grand success. The November 26th party was one which showed your untiring efforts. We take this means of thanking the lVB's for their lovely party tendered us on . December 9. The IVA class has met with such great success heretofore, that it is anticipated that all future events will be met in the same manner. A. A. '20. THE IVB CLASS. ' The IVB Class is probably one of the most talented Senior classes that has been organized at Schurz. From the class alone we have had at the Friday morn- ing program everything from ragtime to opera, from stump speeches to lectures, and a little of the serious side of life as well as its comedy. These small programs have been arranged for the entertainment of the class and they have all proved successful due to the efforts of Amelia Thoma. The entire fourth period 56 to e THE.5CHU.RZ9NE one morning Mr. Slocum talked to us, and of course we all know what a treat it is to have him with us. The subject was certainly fine and an inspiration to everyone who was privileged to hear it. We hope to hear from Mr. Slocum again soon. Mr. Shinn spoke one morning before school and during his entire talk you could have heard a pin drop. His talk was brief and to the point and each and everyone voted that Mr. Shinn speak to us again this coming semester. A surprise was in store for us one Friday morning when Mrs. Gibson sang and all the Seniors know what a wonderful treat that was. - Novelty seems to reign supreme at all of our parties and dances. The party we gave on Hallowe'en in room 220 was our first real success, and it certainly did not lack ginger and pep. A tableau was set up on the stage and the spookiness rivaled Macbeth. We had a fire, a caldron, a black cat, and an old hag, and the hag told the fortune of everyone present. The NSwan- song of the Social committee was probably the most novel party ever run at Schurz. We had dancing and refreshments, but the unique part of the program come when Lieutenant Hadd and his bride-to-be entered the room followed by Mr. Slocum, Mrs. Flanagan, Mr. Berger, Miss Boughton and Mr. Friedman, to the tune of Lohengrin's Wedding March. While each of our parties has had its own little distinction there was none that gave so much enjoyment to all as the Senior party given Friday, January 9th, in honor of the Senior Graduting class. This was the first big party we had ever given and we had 'only live days to prepare, but we got there just the same. We had room 201 set off for those who did not care to dance, and Kootie was played. The dance went off to perfection from the grand march. fWe claim it was the biggest and best ever givenl until Home Sweet Home was played. All wore caps of beautiful designs and colors and it was a very beautiful sight to see this never-ending mass of color, bobbing up and down. Of course a party is not a success without refreshments, so we had ice cream and cake. Each was given a little novelty which contained his fortune. Let us hope that when our organization is settled, we shall have better parties than Schurz has ever seen or will see. R. C., '20. - FAREWELLl Graduation time has come, and we must bid farewell to our associates and surroundings of the past two years. The day we graduate will mark the end of our high school life, but it also marks the beginning of our life in the business world. It seems a queer thing that after that day, we shall leave our friends and associations with whom we have been connected for that period of time. In bidding farewell to our teachers we must say a word about their untiring efforts. Their patience has helped us greatly in achieving a most valuable knowl- edge, for which our thanks are unlimited. The time spent with them will always be a pleasant recollection. After we go out into the world to conquer new and higher ideals, Schurz will become only a memory. It will be a pleasant memory, however, of our high school days, and our continued success in life will be the best expression of our loyalty to it and to its teachings. TH1-:RI-:SA KULPINSKI, '20. THE SCHURZONE 57 CIVIC INDUSTRIAL CLUB. The Christmas work of the Civic Industrial Club was different from that of former years. Instead of preparing the baskets ourselves, we collected the money for the National Charities who filled the baskets much cheaper than we could. The total collected was more than 325000, besides a number of baskets delivered by certain division rooms. To mention all the names of those who helped in this work would be impossible for this would mean a list of the entire student and faculty body. No doubt you were held up to buy some Red Cross stamps. Twenty dollars' worth of these stamps were sold by the various members of the Club. The end of the semester is here and with it go our very efficient President, Vice-President, and Treasurer. Let us all give one hurrah for the good work they have done. But we have something to console ourselves with. We have some members of the cabinet left. You certainly must have seen the results of their good work. Ethelwynne Norris deserves special mention for her good work in connection with the Lost and found Department. A. A. T., '20. January 13, 1920. The Civics Club takes pleasure in submitting the following letter, which explains itself: January 5, 1920. Mrs. K. Flanagan, Carl Schurz High School, Chicago, Illinois. My dear Mrs. Flanagan: Will you not make an opportunity to thank the students of the Carl Schurz High School who were responsible for your very splendid Christmas contribution. I am sure every one of them enjoyed their own Christmas the more for having had a share in helping the needy families in this part of the city. From your fund 0152721 we have arranged to spend a quart of milk daily to about twelve families in which there are somewhere between forty and Hfty chil- dren. These days when prices are so high we are more eager than ever to insure an adequate supply of milk for every child. In all of these families the father has recently died or is incapacitated through some serious illness. Rent and food are being supplied through the generosity of others of our contributors. We also sent about eight or nine Christmas dinners to families in neighborhoods where the Good Fellows were not over-zealous to go. These are in the extremely congsted part of our district, where there are few or no club and church groups to provide dinners. ' Our milk bill for this one district is between 35300.00 and 35400.00 every month. It is an inspiration, as well as a relief, to feel that at least a part of it is provided for for the next month or two. Very sincerely, RUTH FITZSIMMONS, RF-ER Dist. Supt. In addition to the fund of 35272 acknowledged above, our school sent sixteen baskets of provisions, generously filled, and accompanied by at least twenty-five H5251 in money. - 58 I'HEgSCHIJgRZQNE THE CHORAL SOCIETY. According to custom, the Choral Society disbanded in December to make way for the four year graduates, who use January for their commencement rehearsals. The two year class has the seventh period during this month for similar purpose. The Choral Society was not permitted to sing the Peace Pipe, which they had splendidly prepared, owing to the fuel shortage. Mr. Lagerquist told the choristers that he had never worked with a more responsive body than that of this semester. The new chorus of the coming semester is anticipated with pleasure. This feeling is partly due to the magnificent showing of the after-school singers on Mondays, who met for six weeks. The Messiahn was rehearsed and Miss Peickert was the accompanist, to the joy of many. Some of her One B's', came to qualify for the coming 'sixth period chorus. , While referring to Miss Peickert it should be noted that her forces sold nearly 50 tickets to the concert that was 'icalled off. A. A. T., 720. ORCHESTRA. Life in the home of a would-be musician, is, to say the least, a hard lot. Mem- bers of a musician's family should be honored as the martyrs. - Now, when Armbruster was learning the clarinet, the children would all say, aMa, thereis the balloon man, I want a balloon. People on Wright Adams' street still think of waiiles when Wright plays. The flute, some maintain, is worse than the bagpipes, but I am sure that the cries of the tortured o-n the rack closely re- semble the sounds produced by an apprentice at the saxophone. The moaning and groaning of the trombone, and the squeaking and scraping of the violins cause many a dog to howl. Scores of men have been driven to drink by neighbors learning to play the drum. I know my stomach always aches sympathetically when I hear the tuba. Q But let's cheer up! The first 200 years are the hardest. There are some few who survive. Among these survivors are ,lake Prohestein, who drummed his way thru college, he is now a doctor. Arndt Nordlie, in the same way, is going thru Northwestern Dental Collegeg ,leanette Hislop is teaching music in Missourig Sheasby is playing the violin in the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra, Fasbender plays the double-bass in the Pantheon theatre. In short, Schurz furnishes the entire world with musicians. . The orchestra will miss Alice Erdmer, concert-mistress, Carl Schultz, and Frederick Haase, who graduate this February. C. MacG. '20. - THE BAND. ' The band has made great headway this term in every way, in the playing, the number of players and the kind of music. Our directors, Messrs. Mason and Condy, and our instructor in musical theory, Miss Peickert, are to a great extent responsi- ble for these great strides ahead. Sergeant Cook visited our rehearsal the other day and was greatly surprised at the improvement over the last time he had heard us play. He gave us encourage- ment by saying that the rest of the military training organization would be able to march much better if we can put overi' the marches on the campus as we dolin the hall. He even hinted that we could go to Camp Roosevelt as an organization, with all expenses paid, next summer. THE SCHURZONE 59 As we have improved this semester, we hope next semester we will improve even more. We can use more new members. You have a chance to join now after the rest of us have done all the hard work of organizing and holding together the band through the critical stages of its growth. Now we begin to see the results of our practice before us, and we ask you to enjoy the outcome of our many hours of ear-splitting playing. All those who wish to join the band must hold the sixth period open every day for practice. W. A. '21, - ' MECHANICAL DRAWING DEPARTMENT. The Mechanical Drawing Department of Schurz is one of which the school may well be proud. This semester has seen some excellent work done. Several boys are completing drawings of interesting problems. Lyman Warren is working on an automobile engine, but owing to his numer- ous and arduous Schurzone duties has been unable to finish. Palmer Wilson is doing excellent work in Nhisi' only subject. Ed Krenz, failing to make his Gasoline Engine pop, took to uboningn history instead. 'cHerh Pettersen ful- filled the wish of his dad that he learn something about a Buick automobile engine by drawing the plans of a motorcycle. Next fall, he hopesnto speed to Champagne on it. Ray Olson and Verner Ellison, who are working on piping layouts, got tangled up in their pipes which froze during the recent coal strike. However, they promise to hire a plumber to thaw out the pipes in time for them Knot the pipeslj to graduate. When the Illinois University inspectors visited Schurz last December they stated that this Department was attempting more diliicult problems and doing much better wor kthan any high school they had visited in this city. This recognition has given us courage to keep on tackling hard problems. Because of the above statement, Mr. Willard advises that those boys completing fourth year drawings, who intend to go to Illinois, are entitled to, and should ask for credit before their entrance to the university. See him, if you are interested. Although once announced, it may be well to remind the school, that the course previously innuse here was the basis for the new course now in force in all high schools of Chicago. The Architectural Department is also producing some first class work. Ferdinand Eiseman is drawing the plans of a 30-room mansion, Elizabethan style. There is a rumor afloat that it is for a prominent English lord. There are a few girls in these departments and with such a large enrollment of girls at Schurz, it is surprising That htere are not more. The course may be cliflicult, yet some girls are more benefited by a course in drawing than some boys. C. V. E. '20. iliil-l FREE.HAND DRAWING CLASSES. Miss Robertson is now back .with us after a six months' leave during which she was a reconstruction aide at Fort Sheridan. No one need ask if we missed her. The girls in the advanced classes at the beginning of the term worked on house plans. Many a pretty bungalow was made. There were blue prints, wall elevations, and then the furniture. The linished products would make any archi- 60, g gg gg W gg WTH'EgSCI1URg?ONE tect or interior decorator envious. A great deal of hidden talent was brought forth, and among the many celebrated decorators are: Hortense Olsen, Gladys Mills, Evelyne Friedman, Mabel Olsen and Ida Smith. Miss Robertson does not give us a chance to forget the poor wounded soldiers at Fort Sheridan, and so we are always getting a Cl'l3I1CC to aid them. A Thanks- giving party was planned and a large number of girls armed with many goodies and a well planned program proceeded to attack Fort Sheridan. They succeeded not only in giving the soldiers something to be thankful for but also enjoyed themselves. Q Then again at Christmas another chance was given to help these poor fellows, who deserve everything that possibly can be done for them. Everyone was allowed to help this time. A penny bank was filled to supply funds for Christmas tree ornaments, chocolate bars, cigarettes, etc. The girls never stopped burning their fingers, and working hard to turn out more cookies and candies, and other nice things for the soldiers. The fair maidens embarked on Monday, December 22, 1919, accompanied with suliicient ammunition to attack Fort Sheridan for a second time. This attack was more successful than the previous one. The Fort Sheridan forces were led by Colonel Blanchard and Miss Edith Sexton. There were also very many invitations to the Art Institute during the semester. Mrs. Barnet spoke to us on her collection of dyed products. Many visited the American textile show, the applied Art Show, all at the Art Institute. Lately invitations have been received from the Handicraft Guilds of England to exhibit our work. Now you see all the good times we have and we assure you there are many more coming, so watch us closely, for we are about to organize an Art Club. A. L., ,20. THE RED CROSS WORKERS. When the girls from Schurz went to Fort Sheridan for their Christmas party, we took along some arm socks for the boys who have hands and arms in steel braces, also the 'cover the topsl' which did not get across because they were made just as the Armistice was signed and had lain with about 100 others on the shelves of Room 328, derelict and unhappy. The boys literally grabbed them, calling them ear warmers and asking for more, which we promptly sent. We also found that the socks, which were knitted twenty-two inches, could be neatly unravelled in the middle and two shorter ones made from one, because so many were needed. ' We are still knitting and shall have a creditable record at the end of the semester. H. S., '20. t LAYETTE. Buzz--burr-go the machines. Click-go the scissors. Hundreds of yards of nice, white, soft material are being made up into what? Why-dresses, buntings, etc., for the Red Cross kiddies. There are about thirty girls in the 5th period Red Cross Layette class, who are working away with all their might, because they know many small children are patiently waiting for the clothes to keep them warm. With Mrs. Sabin at our head how could we be anything but successful? And our success will be rewarded by the presence of some of the autho-rities of the Chi- cago Public Schools, for whom we are going to give a luncheon. R. O., '20. THE SCHURZONE a ' 61 POST GRADUATES. As you have not heard from us for about a month or two, probably you think that we have been overcome by Shorthand and Typewriting. But this is not so. We have been so busy taking dictation and memorizing the ever-huntingn word- signs and phrases that we could not tell you htat we really existed. Ask Miss Tschan. She knows. We know how to have a good time, too. Since we were such a small class, we could not give a dance, so we decided to have a spread take its place. A com- mittee of three, Florence Gerhardt, Blanche Weisel, and Vivian Roux was appointed, and on December 19, with the help of the committee and Maurine Ritchie our spread came offf' A few minutes before twelve, we girls trouped up the stairs to the lunchroom. There in the back part of the room, behold! was a table decorated in the best of Christmas style, including a tiny Christmas tree. The 'geatsv were delicious and we did full justice to them-a sure guarantee of their quality. We were kept laughing by Mr. Slocum's humorous remarks. Some of our Post Graduates have already begun their commercial experiences in this big world. Their salaries, and their satisfaction with their positions, show that their hard pegging study and eiiicient training were of some purpose. As you will not hear from us very soon, we want to be remembered as the upeppy P. G. class of '2O. B. W. LITERARY AND DEBATING CIRCLE. We, too, have been bitten by the bug of organization which is so busy at present. Who are we? We are Miss Dolan's fourth hour English Class. At our first meeting we elected our olhcers. The results of the election were: Fred Reutter .................................... President Muriel Torland .............................. Vice-President Amelia Thoma ................................... Secretary We have had debates on every subject from Prohibition to NH. C. L. Just imagine, we have all read a biography!

Now see! broke in the third witch, see that luxurious limousine and the fat, bejeweled woman inside! You knew her once as Lucille Bergstrand. Her second husband just died and left her a few millions. There goes the car into a pool of mud! And here's a tiny Flivver stopping to help. Two people jump hastily out of it, and one of them is Helen Bullard. I cannot see the rescue. I must pass on with the vision. Before me is a room in a huge office building. In one corner pounding on a typewriter is Bertha, the Beautiful Blond Stenographerf' A man's voice calls, Miss Anderson, please. And she hurries out. This one is a beauty shop with Hmm 46 S a widely advertised marcel waver. He appears now, with a ! customer whose shrill, high-pitched voice denotes impatience. YW She seems to be Clara Bracke. He, too, you know, for he is no x , other than Edgar Krenz. I see a name-Kathryn Wirtenberger -I can descry nothing else. Wait! There she stands, dark and serene-almost unchanged-behind a cigar counter. Perceiving her sister's evident weakening the second Witch resumed the read- ing of the smoke visions. 'cl see a room filled with small tables except for a large open space in the center. At one end is an enormous soda fountain. From a glance at the menu I lind that it is Miss Mildred Marxls Ice Cream Cabaret-the only one of its kind in Keokukf' proclaims the menu. Ah! there is Crit MacGaffey to be sure. He is the strictest factory inspector in the State. I see a crabbed old farmer in a torn straw hat and numerous whiskers. It is certainly Paul Friedman. There the third Sister took up the interpreting of the vision, I see a dismal room, seemingly in an undertaker's establishment. Working in the gloom over a Collin is a man in loose black garments. Now he is lifting his head, and-Paxton! By all that's Infernal! And the corpse! 'Tis Katherine Mercereau just beginning her journey to Hades. From her expression it is easy to deduce that she died giggling-and now she will giggle forever in Hades .... What can this be? A piece of canvas on an easel, with blotches of paint running together all over it. Stand- ing before it, brush in hand, is Palma Soemo. It seems that the mottled affair on the canvas is an'excellent example of what men used to call 'Futurist Art.' The next vision shows a prim, puritanical woman sitting in a still-looking parlor. On the other side of the room., equally dignified and serious, sits your old friend Sholz.' For years he has been calling on Grace Petrie, and he hasn't proposed to her yet. Every night he says as he leaves her, 'Miss' Petrie-Grace, I-' and never gets any farther. Ah! Doris Fletcher appears before me dressed in an exquisite evening gown. She is evidently at a large reception. She is the recog- nized leader of Society. By looking very closely about, I can see her husband, a small, white-haired man with a submissive expression on his wrinkled face. He is immensely wealthy, but ages too old. One of the maids is approaching him now. In spite of the ruffled apron and cap I can see she is Edna Olstad. Smiling, 64 THE SCHURZONE as usual, she approaches him and begins boldly, 'Your wife -' v orders you to leave the reception room at once and go to the - I kitchen to help the cook.

V W I see a crabbed-looking man walking clown the street. A A playful dog is barking at him and he is agrily brandishing his cane in the unfortunate creature's face. It does not seem pos- sible, but he is your former pupil, Jerry Herlihy. He used to be a competent judge of pretty girls, but now he is a notorious woman-hater .... Now appears before me a crowded theatre. I notice in the reporters' section your friend, George Enke. He is the dramatic critic for the 'Tiny Tribune' and is here to look over the prima donna of Bernstein's Maids of Killarney. She is advertised as l but her real name is Isolde Thies. Ah! They are showing me a cottage, snug and cozy. In the softest chair sleeps a cat while a parrot above him exchanges the time ot' day with a canary in a sunny cake near the window. But that's not all.

I see now a school for the deaf and the interior of the principal's office. The prin- cipal is sitting at her desk busily eating from a box of choco- lates. One look at her face, now behind a. pair of shell-rimmed glasses, convinces me that she is Hazel Karnatz. I wonder whom she talks to now! .... This time I see a dance hall at one end of which stands ,lim Purcell instructing a class in aesthetic dancing.

I see a little knot of people surrounding a street orator, evidently an evagenlist. As the vision clears I see Grace Hinman shrieking vociferously at the sinners about her. One of these happens to be Venette Pepper, neatly attired in the apron and cap of a nurse- maid. And there, high above the heads of the crowd, Pauline Pfaender stands on a platform swarming with snakes.

' Very summarily they bade her good-day and, wondering not a little, she left the grotto with Spinner. He' left her immediately, after wishing her success in the last quest. She was alone. Heretofore she had had someone to guide her. Now the task was hers, and hers alone would be the triumph. Gathering up her courage, she decided to go toward a road at her left. She followed it for what seemed miles without seeing shades of men or beasts., By this time she began to wonder who the person was for whom she was seeking. She recalled as nearly as she could the word of the Witches and then it came to her like a Hash, McKeone,', she exclaimed. Surely, they said nothing of him and he was certainly one of the class. No one could forget him. I wonder where he can be.'f By this time she had reached a fork in the road and undecided which way to go, tossed up a dime to determine for her. It landed tails and so she took the road to the right. After hours of walking she dropped from sheer exhaustion .f by the roadside. Her eyes had almost closed when she spied a tiny cottage beyond the hedge. Summoning every atom of strength left she stumbled over to the cottage. There on the porch, surrounded by five tiny children, was a minister- McKeone. l F1N1s. ggi? . if I ' x Tuesday, Nov. 11-At Dingbat Sheasby's big song review, before nine today in room 201, Anna Zwick sang, '4She Sits in the Parlor and rWatches the Kitchen Sink.

MAE elf ..-.-.. .CS FOOTBALL. The past football team was a success although we didnit win the champion- ship. The lightweight team hung up quite an enviable record, not being scored on in their first four league games, only to fall before Bowen in their final game. The team which faced Bowen was pretty crippled and did well in holding Bowen to fourteen points, all of which was scored in the first half. Schurz scored twenty-eight points to their opponents fourteen during the season. A The offensive power of the team was shattered at the beginning of thelseason, because of the low scholastic standing of men depended on in the back kfiefld. Be- cause of these failures Mr. Berger had to reorganize the team and this was slow work. Another very important thingg there is a great deal of room for improve- ment in athletic spirit in the school. That enthusiasm which was so predominant last year, when we won the Cook County Baskektball title, was lacking this past sea- son. It is necessary to give your teams the best moral support possible, if you wish them to turn out winners. Also, it would help if friends and classmates of athletes would encourage them to pay attention to academic interests instead of social and other! outside activities. 1 W. Bell and D. Bissell were given places on the All Chicago High School Teams, but other good men were overlooked. Nelson was one of the best ends in high school. Both D. Bissell and H. Bellas work at tackles stood out in every game and they were not outplayed once during the entire season. Quinn was as good a fighter and all-around dependable man as Mr. Berger ever had. Mention is often given flunkers in athletics, but here are a few who had an average of 85 or over during the whole football season: Quinn, Sheasby, Huliield. W. Bell was chosen captain of next year's lightweight team, while Quinn will .lead the heavies. SOCCER. The Scliurz heavyweight Soccer team was not defeated in a league game last season, while the lightweights suffered only one setback. Our heavies had an im- pregnable defense, but its offense was weak. Only one goal was scored against us in our four league games, but we were only able to score two goals, these both coming in our first game. . The lightweights started the season like champions, winning their first game 6 to nothing, and continuing this fast clip until the second Lane game when they were given their only set-back. The following Soccer players will receive Sis: - 1 1 1 THE SCHURZONE 71 H ecwies- Lightweights- Paxton, Capt. C. H. B. Schoenbrod, Capt., G. Gabel, l. B.. Munson, R. F. Paulson, G. Peters, L. F.

Woodruf, Utility Wilkinson, R. H. B. Murphy, L. H. B. Myalski, Line and H. B. BASKET BALL. The basket ball season is now in full sway with the league schedule about to begin. Schurz will have four teams this year: Heavies, Bantams, Lights, 'and Paperweights. The first two will be handled by Mr. Havlicek, while Mr. Berger will have the last two. Coaches Havlicek and Berger are not saying mucli about the prospects of their teams, but are anxiously waiting the opening of the league schedule. A Mr. Havlicek has only one regular, 'cGene, left from last year's heavies, and with him as a nucleus is building up a strong team. Grotowski is captain and is playing forward this year. As a rruming mate he will have Urbanowitz, star for- ward from last year's lightweights. Wygas, last year's lightweight, is jumping cen- ter and is being furnished with competition by Paulson. Larson, sub from last year's County champs, is playing running guard with Bissell, brother of the famous Cush, holding' down the other guard. Anderson and Kruckinski- are giving them a keen fight for their positions, while Dodge and Surak are working hard to edge in one one of the forward positions. The-team is rounding slowly into form, and Mr. Havlicek expects them. to be in tip-top condition when the whistle blows for the first league game. Practice games have been played with Austin and New Trier, the first ending in a Schurz victory, 33 to 8, while the second was a defeat, 17 to 9. Games with Belvidere and Culver have been scheduled. The prospects of the bantams are exceedingly bright. Starting the season poorly by being defeated by Austin, 13 to 11, they have improved until now they are able to put a very formidable team on the floor. They won their second start of the season, defeating New Trier at Kenilworth, 14- to 11. A return game has been arranged with Austin when we hope to wipe out the early defeat. Berman is captain and center of the team. Ed Unger, star forward of last year, is playing in his old position, and is just as versatile as ever. Who will be his running mate is not known at this writing, but there are four possible candidates, E. Helsing, H. Helsing, Karasinski and M. Schwimmer. H. Helsing is a little fellow, weighing about 100 lbs., and has been drafted from the paperweights. He is one of the fastest little fellows seen on the Schurz floor in years. Kahn, Scher, Topping, Gus- tav, Peterson, and Jensen are trying for the guard berths with edges going to Kahn and Scher so far. QConlinued on page 771 5 Q , p I 5,1 3 4 BASKET BALL. Seniors vs. Sophomores. All the inter-class basket ball games have been played. After two months of hard practicing, the first game was played between the Sophs and Seniors on No- vember 20. The Sophomores were so excited, that it is doubtful whether much actual knowledge was gained that day. On the other hand, the Seniors seemed to feel that basket ball games were- an old story, and that by the time one was a Senior there was no need to get excited. But excitement seems to pay, for the Sophs went into that game with the idea that if the Seniors did win, they were going to have to work for every point they got. They certainly succeeded, for at the end of the first quarters they were ahead four points, and they deserved to be, for the minute the whistle was blown they were on their toes and after that ball, and they played a most wonderful game of good, clean basket ball. The Seniors, because of their longer experience, slowly gained and won the game 33-21. The lineup is as follows: Sophs. Seniors Helen Brandenburger ............... R.F ...... ............. G race Ryerson Algina Ortlepp ............. ..... L . F ......... ...... L ucille Bergstrand Florence Maurer lCapt.l .... .... C .......................

At 3:40 sharp all players were on the field ready for business. At the first sound of the whistle both sides went into that game with every bit of pep that was in them. Mabel Rugen did herself justice by shooting one of her beautiful long side throws for which she is becoming so well known. It being the Juniors first game of the season, they were almost 'reckless in their excitement, for there was an extraordi- nary number of fouls called on the players of their team. But this, however, gave the Sophs Stal' forward, Helen Brandenburger, a chance to show her wonderful ability at making ufree throws. Eleven of their points were made by her and she holds the best 'record for free throws of any forwa.rd in the school. During the last quarter Anna Zwick came in as guard on the Junior team and whenever Anna arrives on the scene there is always lots of 'Lpep added and she certainly did make' Algina Ortlepp work to get the ball. But in spite of the fact that Anna came in the score was only 31-15 Uuniors favorj. The lineup is as follows: Juniors Sophomores Mabel Rugen ...................... R.F ...... .............

They didn't mind it abit but just went ahead into that game as if they had played them all their lives. And I guess if their little side center, Mac Alburn, had anything to do with it the Seniors got their share of bumps, too. She is so small that when her opposing centers are trying to guard her she eludes them by going under their arms, and if she sees the other center is not guarded, she lands in front of her with astonishing speed and receives the ball. Their Captain, Harriet Koglin, makes a splendid forward, and from the wild cheers from the balcony of 'fKogie! Kigie! Get that ball, put it in! it is easily seen that she holds a great influence both over the team and the other freshmen. In this game, however, the F reshies had it harder than they might have had if the Seniors had not felt that their last game with the Sophs was not what it sould have been, and so were making up for it in this. The final score was 54--2, Seniors favor. The lineup is as follows: Seniors F reshies Lucille Bfergstrand ..... ........... R .F ............. Harriet Koglin fCapt.j Grace Ryerson . . . ....

December 2 marked another important day for the Freshies for it was on this day that the Juniors gave them their second knock. On the day of the game one of the Freshies said to a Junior, You know, of course, that we thought weld get licked by the Seniors, but then we didn't care about playing them, but we know know we'll get licked by the Juniors, but they play so rough that a-a-well, we can try to lick them! lt is just this spirit that shows that the Freshmen team will develop into a very good one with a little more practice and experience. We certainly must give them credit for getting all their people out to root for them better than any other team, for at every Freshman game the balcony was just packed with excited Freshmen. Keep it up Freshies, .thatis the way to show school spirit! In this game all of the substitutes played on the Junior team. and certainly showed that if they had started with the team as Freshmen there would be a great rivalry of places, for every one of them played a snappy game of good basketball. Marian Warren and Wilma Bulow played a lot of' team work and used their headsn in getting the ball to the right player. And on the other hand Edith Bulow was doing her bit as guard on the Freshman team, she is small but very quick and thinks .quickly just where and to whom the ball is to go. The final score was 37-10, Juniors favor. The lineup is as follows: Juniors Freshmen ' Mabel Rugen ......... .... R . F .... .... H arriet Koglin fCapt.l Mildred Linstrand . . . .... L.

FRESHMEN. Reds and Greens. The Sophs and Freshies played their last interclass games this season against each other on December 4. The Reds thought that in order not to disgrave them- selves entirely they would have to beat the Greens,n and they must have realized that it was by no means going to be an easy task, for they went into the game resolved to work, and they sure did do it, for every one of them helped, not hindered, the play of the other members of the team. Algina with all her pep and wind as usual played a fine game and gained many of the points for the Sophomores. Their Captain, Florence Maurer, outshone herself in her unusually speedy playing. Every time the ball came her way she was Johnny-on-the-spot and had it well on its Way, headed for the forwards, who were exceedingly apt at getting in good positions to receive it. The Greens also thought it would be a disgrace not to win a single game, and so every girl on the team played for all she was worth, and even though they lost, 12-31, they established their reputation as being good fighters.

The most important date this semester stands out in red letters, December 12. You ask Why? If you don't remember you should be ashamed of yourself, for it was on this day that the Championship game was played between the Juniors and Seniors. The Seniors were more excited than any team who played in the interclass games this semester, for they had been beaten two preceding years by the Junior team, and they were resolved that this year they would turn the tables, and the mere thot of losing the game made them tremble. If the Juniors had been mind-readers, they probably would not have played as well as they did, and as it is, there is a sweet rumor coming from the gym teachers office that the Juniors were overconfident. Of course, this may be so, but it shouldn't have been, for the two guards who played on their team last year were graduting in three and one-half years, and were to play with the Seniors, thus strengthening the Senior team, though even if they are wonderful guards, we cannot say they weakened the Junior team, for Mildred Lindstrand, the captain of the Junior team, and Ruth Swaback took their places very nicely. The minute the whistle was blown, the Seniors were on the go, while the Juniors had to collect their wits first, and it was because of this that the Seniors gained their points. Edna Olstad, playing side-center, put it all over her opponent, running rings around her, and it is not to be doubted that her opponent, to this day, often wonders how she ever managed to make legs go so fast and think so quickly, for Edna certainly did play a won- derful game. fC0llZl:JLllCd on page 755 -1- mf. -.W .W -sv. . -. s -WW --gs --g-g-f-g-W .-sr . -1- HOP 4, 7,77 ,V,Y W in ,M , , ,-.-.........g. PATTERN MAKING. Dry United States? Drop into the first period pattern making class and take a good whiff of the shellac. Many of the fellows have very vivid imagina- tions due to the results of shellac, alias wood alcohol. Lammert, 'the dancer of the seven veils, is occupied in making pattern for a two port motor, which is guaranteed to fly or your money cheerfully refunded. Don Hunt, George Thompson, the fancy skater, and other fellows are making lamps because they like a dim light. Why? Despite the high price of mahogany, some fine articles, including candlesticks, nut bowls, etc., are being turned out. R. M. and E. C. g FOUNDRY. The boys in the foundry have been working quite hard for the last two weeks as they have been making castings for themselves out of -brass and aluminum. One or two of the boys made frying pans out of aluminum, but they did not turn out very well. , As it is almost examination time we are having a few lectures on which we will be examined. We hope the boys coming in will have just as good luck as we did. fContinu,ed from page 74-I Phyllis Trojan and Charlotte Breckenridge have always been noted for their excellent guarding, but they played such a remarkable game that day that there was not a ghost of a chance for their opposing forwards to make a basket. It also seemed as if the Senior forwards were impossible to guard-so quick and elusive were they. The Juniors strongest point, however, was their guards, for Mildred and Ruth played more team work than any others on the team. The game ended all too quickly-for the Juniors-the score being 24--18 in favor of the Seniors. The lineup was as follows: ' Seniors Juniors Grace Ryerson ............ ..... R .F ...,. ......

When I climbed this hill a year ago shells were bursting now and then a couple of miles away. We could see the German positions from this elevation, and two or three German planes were hovering overhead evidently bent on taking pictures in spite of our machine guns. The walk was a splendid one and the view, magnificent, but the old farm house consisted only of empty walls. There was no roof and nothing inside. I saw the unused trenches and barbed wire all about and asked the story. I learned that here a small body of Frenchmen battled with the invading Huns until every defender fell dead. It is no longer a farm house but a mausoleum. I stayed in this French sector as a Y. M. C. A. Secretary until just before Christmas. My canteen was operated by myself and two other American women in connection with the French Foyer du Soldat. The Foyer proper was a hut where the soldiers could read, write, play games and have entertainments. This was in charge of a French woman. The canteen belonged to the Y. M. C. AQ Of course this arrangement existed only in French sectors. I lived in a little French hotel which, as I have told you, the German in- vaders made their headquarters in 1914-. At that time the landlady and her child- ren took refuge in a neighbor's cellar. Her husband was already in the trenches where he remained for four and a half years, although he was forty-four years old when the war broke out. It was a quaint little hotel. The most convenient en- trance was through the little cafe', or wine shop. ' The Hoor of the dining rooin was strewn with fine white sand. We were supposed to have gas and .electric lightsg but for the lack of coal the gas was nearly always cut off. And fhe elec- tric lights were also coupee whenever an air raid signal was given. So we gen- erally ate our supper by the light of a few candles fcandles cost at that time twenty- five cents apiecej . To reach my room I passed through a narrow hall into an open court and up an outside staircase. From my window I could look down upon this stone paved court generally full of rather noisy girls running back and forth be- tween the kitchen on one side and the dining room on the other. There were always soldiers there, too, who came to wash up at a primitive sort of sink and to visit with the girls. I can see them. now, mostly French boys in their faded blue uni- forms and blue helmets, or Italians in their greenish gray, and always a few of our own American boys in khaki. How they would laugh and chatter-these boys and girls! And what funny mistakes the Americans made with fheir French. Every noon and evening when I got back from my canteen I passed through such a group on my way upstairs. And they would all call out greetings to me, often in several languages. Everybody knew L'Americaine las I was calledj. Most of these boys were on a three days leave, or perhaps being transferred, or passing through town with messages, with trucks full of supplies, or perhaps driving ambulances. They were forgetting for a few brief moments the horrors of the trenches and the battle fields. And I was glad to see them cheerfully awaiting the very fair dinner that our landlady served. Of course the men who were actually coming back and forth from the trenches were never seen at the hotel. But we served many of them at our canteen. How tired and dirty, and hlmgry they often were! I have seen them drop down at the side of the road in the mud and go fast asleep and they would often go to sleep over their bread and cocoa in our warm hut.

I-Iow did you reach such a conclusion?', The criminologist answered: f'It was all very simple. I'1l tell you briefly. When you had given us the circumstances surrounding the case I was ready to sus- pect anyone-the three visitors, the maid, some outsider, 'land even you, Morgan. I saw, however, that no outsider could get in unless admitted by the maid. I ques- tioned her and saw that she was innocent. Then I called up your club and satisfied myself that you had really been theref I could see that White was not guilty. Furthermore, I could not believe, nor haveil ever heard, that an extremely nervous man could strike another in the back. That left Barry. Then I discovered the letter brought by White in the waste basket. It told of an oil company failing in which most of Morgan's fortune was invested, leaving him poor. Everything was clear now. The letter must have so affected him that he suffered a stroke and fell to the floor, srtiking his head against the sharp corner of the desk, accounting for the gash and the stains. When Maxwell saw the horrible sight it must have unnerved him so that he left in excitement, too upset to tell anyone. When Barry entered the room he must have realized that if he called the police he would probably be accused, owing to his relations with Morgan, and so left the house quickly. Then the maid found the body. If you ask these men when you release them, I believe you will find this true. Good-day, gentlemen. ' We left, leaving them gaping. Needless to say the prisoners' stories corre- sponded to that of Lane MacLane's. fC0nLinu,ed from page 715 The lights have no experienced men on this year's squad, but Mr. Berger expects to develop them into a team that will be a credit to Carl Schurz. Peters has been chosen as capain and is working out at guardg other guards are Spiegel, Albano, Loges, Tibbets, Schwier, McRae, Thompson and Levy. Schultz was out, but seems to have dropped. Bell, Esterquist, Myalski, Carlson, Neveleff, and Murphy are try- ing for the forward positions. Stone, Larson and Wold are out for center. One astonishing thing about this team is the appearance of so many players with high scholastic records. A goodly number have averages of 85 and over. They lost their only game at New Trier, 24- to 5. The paperweights expect to have a fast team. They have played Beaubien School and the Association House, winning the first, 8 to 2, and being defeated in the last, 53 to 17. In the last game Gilbertson starred for Schurz, tossing 5 baskets. Peterson is captain and center. Woodruff, Trostrued, and Zalewski are out for guard, while Gilhertson, Linseth, and Strand are striving for forward positions. l - f r?9L X lfjefi ,, is GIATTER. f fl 'Liga gi s .

O. L. Once upon there was a. time, a young artist, Oscar by name, who was deeply in love, but had not made his declaration yet, as on winds he was shy. A ro- mantic idea entered his nut to go to China, where landscape and citizens had not yet been brought be- fore the eye of the Ameri- can public. Ilither, then, he went, and when he landed he could have indeed called himself Count du Smal change. But success was his. For painting the estate of the Mandarin FuManchau he received l3,000 FDD. He made portraits of- the family of the MH11dHl'l11 Ulm Chin Chow, receiving 4,000 yen. His total of 17,- Hoo yen he carried to the bank at the port. The little coins as they jingled and rattled made the sweetest music he had heard yet. But, oh, horrors! His 17.000 yen was only worth 32.84 in American money. He longed to leave the filthy country which had so mis- lead him. He sneaked aboard a. tramp steamer hound for the U. S., and disguishing himself as a barrel, he arrived safely. That night he went up to see the loved one. The entertainment she had provided for him that night was the familv nie- ture album. And at last they came across her moth- cr's picture.. Darling ex- plained that Mother, when she was young, was the verv image of daughter. Oscar hastily calculated what Tlarling would then look like in after life. He was dismayed. He grabbed his hat and ran out the door. He decided to give up Art and Vilmuen and find ll job in the Soap Works. REDTIME STORY A story in which the real life of the clergy is de- picted: A minister, going the rounds of his dock, was asked to supper by a. family. He accepted and a supper of mush and milk was served. No sooner were all seuited, than the eldest danghter's young' man arrived. ,Quickly the menu was changed. The minister was asked to say grace, which he did, say- ing: Now the good lord be praised, I am amazed, to see how things have mended: Pound cake and tea, for supper T see, when mush and milk was intended.
