Many of you began your high school life with me, and it has been my privilege to watch your growth and development, and to compare this present fulfilment with the hope and promise that you gave at the outset. You have been reminded many times over of the exceptional opportunities which lie before you. Not in the classroom alone, but by the whole atmosphere of our school we have striven to impress upon you that the one who consecrates his life to an ideal larger than he can hope to compass, has the kind of faith that moves the world. As educated men and women you will some day occupy conspicuous places in life, but the excellence of your service will depend even more on what you are, than on what you do-on the mass and momentum of your mental, moral and spiritual life-on the power that is in you. Take with you my loving remembrance, appreciation and the fond hope that you may get the best you desireg and yet more, that you will always have the heart to desire only the best gifts. You are leaving with me many precious memories of the happy relations in which we have spent this last wonderful year together. And, as you go hence, I can offer you no better wish than that as you grow in years may you grow in the strength and beauty of a true and finished manhood and womanhood. lNlADELINE SEMMELMEYER.

Now we have attained our ambition, and we look back over this time with amazement, for it seems to have passed so rapidly that it is impossible to realize that our Schurz days are over. l'am sure that we cannot help but feel a great deal of gratitude when we consider all that has been done for our benefit and comfort. Perhaps first in our appreciation should carrie Mr. Slocum and Mr. Pettersen in cooperation with the rest of the faculty. To them we wish to say, that they have been an important factor in aiding us to become useful men and women, and they may rest assured that the memory of their services to us will never be forgotten. Our class has set a record of scholarship of which we are justly proud, and although the final outcome depended upon the student himself, we feel that our success has been due, in a large measure, to our instructors. Some of the members of our class have had a privilege, which few, if any others have ever had before. We have been able, throughout our four years, to have Miss Semmelmeyer as an instructor in English, and in our senior year, a few of us have had the double advantage of having her as a civics teacher also. The benefit of being able to continue our work with her each semester, is too great to express. ln our dear 220 we have come to know her as that which she has fittingly been called, the Seniors' Motherf, for as our division teacher she has had us wholly under her charge. We have spent one year together in 220, the June class of 121, and Miss Semmelmeyer. It will remain one of the dearest memories of our high school days. Our life at Schurz has always been made pleasant by the atmosphere which existed. It was not the cold, unsympathetic surrounding which fills the corridors and class rooms of so many schools, but rather the pleasant, friendly, comrade-like association which made us feel that we were at home and that here we had a place of our own. The relationship between teacher and pupil was always genial and kind and made us feel that we were not mere nothings, even when we were freshmen. Vife have been offered, due to the efforts of Mr. Slocum, and our teachers, refined, delightful social activities, which have helped to cement friendship among -us, and have been an important factor in aiding us to know our own fellow students better lha11 we might have learned to know them in the class room. The school athletics and the many clubs, formed under the sponsorship of some kind teacher, who was willing to sacrifice her time for us, have also been our associations here so very pleasant. To attempt to tell what we feel when we must turn our backs on Schurz, would be futile. But this we may say-that we shall do our best to reciprocate ' ' -' 1 I ' ' I . f' I I '- I' I- 'I I Y Y la THE SCHURZQNE 33 The Chronicles of the Children of '21 It came to pass in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and seventeen that there arose from the plains of Ignorance a great multitude of children, who gathered themselves together to search for the fruits of knowledge. And so many came unto this region that the place was filled with them. And verily it became very grievous for them, they knew not whither to turn their steps to the great House of King Sloc Umm, nor what manner of petitions to make. Moreover, the doors were closed to them and the Judge Misterpet Erson would hear them not. Yea, the smallest of them, Clar Entswud, was bewildered and well-nigh lost. But when six and three hundred days and nights had passed, they had waxed greatly in strength and wisdom. And it happened that in the zone chronicles, written by the scribes and elders, these children and others to the number of five and ten did have their countenances appear. And that was the time of the great feast of Eliza Bethbridon. But all the children were turned to mud, scoffing and vain-glory, whereat they were righteously put to torture. The great Father Centzman made known unto them every form of creeping things and abominable beasts. And Unyse Elerz, Eth Namakma Hon, Mal Colinmak Ray, and John Rek-Toris did love these idols of the House of Two-Twenty-Two as themselves. There were certain amongst them that did translate into their native tongue the book of the great Gallic chieftain. The greatest of these interpreters were Loo- Eesda-V is, Eirsenkolb, Doro-Theemacklan-Fin, An-a-Butz, Rornon-a-Dobrick, and John Lun Quissed, who did read as though by inspiration. The greatest of them all was Doro-Theemacklan-Fin. This inspiration did also visit Wil Mabu Lo to so great an extent that her rapid utterings were unintelligible. And it came to pass that He Lenbogero did say unto the class one day, The dead men fought each other over their bodies. Hic, haec, hoc, huius, huius, huius! And lo and behold, days came when the great teachers said, This writing must he because they seeing, see notg and hearing they hear not, neither do they under- stand. And it came to pass that the children of '21 rested all their workg and after the days of great heat were passed, they turned their faces again toward those great teachers who had guided them up onto Mount Junior, overlooking the green valleys round about them. 1 And it came to pass that a strange spirit that had filled the hearts of all the sons, did quicken them in such fashion that they did wrestle bodily with one another, were trodden under foot, were grappled and dazed, and, verily, brought well-nigh unto destruction. And this strife all for a ball of heifer's skin which they did cast about into a bottomless basket hung aloft the wall. And the elders said, Wisdom is better than strength. But they hearkened not unto them, returning unto the battle where they waxed hot. Amongst these wild ones were Jorgkwin, Waltermi Alsky, John Petrolewitz, Ro Bertgrunned and Hariewnish. 344 THE SCHURZONE It happened that there was much strife also among the daughters. There was one Myl Dredlynd Strand who had come into their midst- from the region called Elgin in the year nineteen hundred and eighteen. And because they liked her well and because she fulfilled her watchcry, Thou shalt not pass! they chose her as their captain. The others at all times uppermost in the strife were Hil Dusyn Estvedt, Ma Belru Gen, Wil Mabu Lo, Ol lvried and the mighty Aws Tridsmith. When Ma Belru Gen did cast the ball it did spin like unto the head of He Len- wit Bold when that damsel was called upon in a loud voice by the great teachers. And lo and behold, in these battles none were killed and few were injured, whereupon there was much rejoicing. And it came to pass that all the children of ,221 that had not fallen by the wayside were called together by the Queen of the tribe Misem Elmyer into the Tabernacle of Two-Twenty. And they went and were taught all things for the final Judgment Day. And the children of ,21 chose from amongst them those whose lips and hearts made song, and they were, Stangliegeesie, Eth Ellsmith, He Lensher Man :ind Durr Ellyung. And every fifth day of the week music did fill the House of Pilgrimage. But, many were they who tarried among idle company, speaking idle words, decking themselves with fine powder, and committing other Vanities. Then spoke Misem Elmyer sternly, Verily, verily, I say unto you unless you enter this tabernacle at eight and thirty, you shall not participate in the rejoicing. Vlfickedness and selfishness dwell within you! Exceeding wroth am ll Doth not the things of greatness and goodness of Two-Twenty rise above all things And they were silent and sore afraid. And Doro Theeanda cast her eyes upon An Esmith, and An Asmith upon .lulee Etstrowci, and ,lulee Etstrowce upon Mari Onsenree, and Mari Onhenree upon Rath Eringhall, and Rath Erinhall upon Su Zansmith, and Su Zansmith upon het mirror. And they were silent and sore afraid. Lind it came to pass that the children of 721 did arrange a great feast for the day of Hallow Eien. And He Lensher Mann was the witch of Ender, and in her cauldron did she boil the entrails of which all the children did partake, whereat they were filled with strange and awful quaking. Their tongues did curl and their faces did assume a ghastly look. But thereafter they were happy, for there was music and dancing, and the fruit of the apple tree and round cakes fried and brown. And it came to pass that there was also a feast of Thanksgiving, of the glad Yule-Tide, and in honor of the good saint Valentine. a At these feasts Glad lsduvall and Myl Dredwall Rath were the damsels of greatest eloquence. At that self-same time they were ,in sooth, what they were not. And it hapened that the daughters did make merry for the sons of the Day of Fools at the noon hour. And they fared sumptuously and spoke with great eloquence. Then they cried unto their Queen, Misem Elmyer, Speak unto us, and there was much clapping of hands. Thereupon lVlisem Elmyer arose and with great modesty and poise answered and said, 'iAccording unto my custom, l have nothing to say. Bear ye witness unto the truth.

Our idea, born three years ago, was to have it appear annually. but the introduction of todd- ling into the school course has taken up so much time that our subscribers will be fortunate if this number Tatler will be a tri-mouthlyg that is to say we will suc- ceed with the first issue, and if we are spared. fyou know we are doing our bestl we will try to get it out next time. Our general purpose for publication, is to make bold the bashful, to soothe the lovelorn, to induce belli- gerents to a truce, to promote the happiness of our subscri- bers, and to fill the prover- bial long felt want. No. 7-11 Callsen-Dale War Still on. Faculty Intervention a Fail-ure. The attempt of prominent faculty members to establish a truce in this war was a complete failure. A meeting was arranged to arbitrate dif- ficulties, but the party of the first part refused to partici- pate. We oppose such be- havior as detrimental to the policy of our sheet.

For positive and authoritative in- formation on Endurance Tests see Evie Tollkuehn or Helen Smith at any time in 220. Remarkable Chivalry shown. Young Man Should Get a Politeness Prize. Those in 220 might have been startled the other day by the unique exhibition of courtesy of Earle Rappaport. As he was walking up to the Division Room, he saw two young ladies just ahead of him. Stepping quickly as behooves a true diciple of the Tatler he assisted them to mount the stairs. Until an elevator system between 220 and the Senior lockers is built, such a young man will be invaluable to the ladies. Hide a supply in your saxaphone as Al Stompe did at a recent party. Thus the sandwich will be saved for the 4B Class. tffontinzted on page 4-41 Evolution. Once upon a time tSep- tember, 19131, a dear little girl entered Schurz. She was a model pupil and oft burned the midnight oil. Her card was beautiful to see. Of course, she lost the envelope so she could admire the love- ly black and white figures. Once upon a second time lSeptember. 1919l. a dear girl returned to Schurz. She was rather a good student and sometimes she burned the mid-night oil, and she lost neither her envelope or her time looking at her card. Once upon a time tSep- temher, 19205, a young lady came back to Schurz. She was sometimes a pupil but discovered new uses for mid- night oil. Her record was prettier than before, but she did not appreciate the red and black combination. Once upon a fourth time lSeptember, 19213, a young woman strolled into Schurzg she was an impossible stu- dent and now she used the midnight oil only as a lu- bricant. The red in her re- port card did not even please papa and maybe there will be a Once upon a Fifth Time. . EDITORIALS. Editor-Remlap-Type Set- ter- Printer's-Devilf, OUR PLATFORM FOR SCHURZ.

The human body will continue to be a mystery and a held for discovery for years to come. Much as we know of the skeleton and of the organs of the body, there is still to be learned about the brain and the system. Sometimes l think the inven- that are produced during the progress of ion have a reflex purpose with regard to study of the human body. Take, for ex- the ordinary phonograph or grapho- Does it not suggest to you that process memory? The optic nerve or the audi- nerve must be registering on the films of certain vibrations, the records of which away and can be again ' mysterious machinery of the brain, re- in memory the song or the picture. Can any one note of this country gather up the wheat and the coal and the cattle, carrying these articles to the points where they are needed, without recognizing at once the analogy between this great organ of civilization- the railroads-and that organ of the human body-the arterial system? Can one think of the intricate network of telephone and telegraph wires, which binds our nation together-and for that matter, the world--without comparing it instantly to the nervous system of the human body? lt might be interesting in this line of thought to ask the question :-To what in the human body shall we compare wire- less telegraphy? Perhaps, the study of wireless telegraphy and telephony will lead us to the discovery of some new power in the brain. The dynamo gives me a shade of thought which transcends even these analogies between the inventions of the physical world and the organs and processes of the physical body. lf a wire is moved across the field of a magnet, a pulse of electricity is produced in the wire. The dynamo is a machine so constructed that thousands of wires are moving across the fields of many magnets, and all the little pulses of electricity that are thus generated are collected by means of a contrivance called a commutator and sent out along one wire in rapid succession, and in the case of an electric light, what seems to be a steady uniform incandescence would appear, if we could theoretically apply to it a time microscope, an incandescence of intermittent intensity. I seem to see the human soul traveling through a field of force and, like the wires in the dynamo, there are being certain impulses generated. That field of force is this life here on earth. The impulses generated are so numerous and inter- esting that only a few can be mentioned, but when they are all added together-so to speak, sent out on the wire in rapid succession--they constitute character. First of all is the love of truth. lt is a yearning of the human heart horn of all experience here on earth. It is an impulse sent out on the wire. We must have truth. We know that all things built upon deception, ignorance and untruth, must be rebuilt. Our mental and spiritual evolution depends upon truth. You remember Kipling's L'Envoi: When the world's last picture is painted And the tubes are twisted and dry, 4-6 THE SCHURZONE Then only the Master shall praise us, And only the Master shall blame, And no one shall work for monev And no one shall work for But each for the joy of the And each in his separate Shall draw the thing as For the God of Things as This is equivalent to saying that some day of Truth. Another impulse pressing out upon the All races of people have experienced this to develop its power of reasoning, it fixed life giving power. Can one contemplate mountains, or the oceans, or the myriad manifest in the human soul, and doubt ' heglast verse of Joseph What though in Move round the dark What though no real voice nor Amid the radiant orbs he found? In reasonls ear they all rejoice, And utter forth a glorious voice, Forever singing as they shine, 'The hand that made us is divinef The impulse of gratitude for the gift of life and reverence to the giver is a part of character. Faith is another impulse-faith in the immortality of the soul, faith that good will be the ultimate goal of ill, faith that justice will prevail in the end, faith that the whole creation moves toward some far-off divine event, faith that keeps us patiently and persistently nurturing a sense of duty lest any weakness in our wills should retard that movement toward the divine event. lt really seems to me as though the training of our wills is one of the great purposes of life here. l look upon all things in the physical world as subservient to the spiritual. I think that gravitation-the greatest fact in the physical world-has for its chief purpose the training of our wills, and in that sense it is subservient to the spiritual. I believe that in our world of thought and feeling the acknowledgment of duty and the sense of duty is also for the purpose of further training our wills. It would seem as though a stronger will is the entrance requirement of the next temple of learning. What of human sympathy and love? ls not love another impulse from this dynamo of the soul flowing out upon the wire-love that first lisps its tender message from baby lips, growing from love of mother to love of father and sister and brother, then establishing itself as a protectorate over the sanctity of home, in order that for thousands of years yet to come generations of children will not be deprived of their rightful heritage of parental care and affection, love that finally goes beyond and lays down life that peace may prevail upon the earth and those who are left may dream of the brotherhood of man. Longfellow compared the soul to a compass. In his uBuilding of the Shipl' V u :ie savs: THE SCHURZONE 47 4'Ah! if our hearts but poise and swing Like the compass in its brazen ring, Ever level and ever true To the toil and the task we have to do. Emerson lived before the time of the dynamo and instead of looking upon character as a series of impulses sent out on a wire, he called it a river, of thoughts. Perhaps, you remember his words, When I perceive the river of thoughts that How into me from sources I see not, I know I am but a pensioner and from some alie11 energy the vision comesfi Notice that Emerson said a river of thoughts flowed into him while I spoke of these impulses as flowing out upon a wire. Perhaps, the truth is that these great impulses flow into us and through us and out of us. It is to be presumed that the commencement issue of the Schurzone is especially dedicated to the graduating class. My sincere wish is that the channel of the river referred to in Emerson's version shall he always in the process of broadening and deepening. .l- ye-yy g ill ali' I X 'talllffl W tr! all tj yj t y A Though! of Sprmg N ' LLOYD MILLER.

He is not a volunteer. Army and school alike are recruited by enlistment and by draft. We do not call it draft, we call it the compulsory education law in school. Enlisted pupils? You can pick them at a glance. Some are tempted to carry the comparison still further and insist that you can pick the slackers by their numerous red marks. Be this as it may, there is no question about the desirability of increasing the number of enlistments. We need recruiting ofiicers and who better than the graduate? During the war we heard occasionally about the conscientious objectors who maintained what they chose to call their inalienable rights. Has anyone an inalienable right to remain ignorant? Not in this day and age, so that there should be no such person as the conscientious objector to meet when recruiting for school. Try to help instill in the young folks an eagerness to enlist in work and play-a fair share of each. That is, if you still think school has been worth while. C. A. PETTERSEN.

A strange' sensation came over me, and I was found at once transported into the land of the future. I found myself on a boat bound for Paris. The crew was composed largely of women, among whom I recognized Anna Munson, Ethel Mundall, Ruth Peterson, and Violet Pyles. Ane of the maids on the boat was Anna Gray, who informed me that Laura Zimmerman was chief cook on the boat. This surprised me very muchg so 1 asked the Captain, Ronald Bradley, if I might go and speak to Laura, and I was granted an interview. Imagine my surprise when I found Laura to be a cook, six feet two in her stocking feet and weighing two hundred pounds. When I came back on deck, I found that Mabel Lahr was also on board. She informed me that she was secretary to Lloyd George. At last I reached France. The first city I visited was Paris, where I met Helen Dietz who had married the French President and was raising a family of child-prodigies. The youngest of her children spoke five different lan- guages. I was of course invited to the French Capitolg so I went the following day. Whom should I see washing the windows of the Capitol building but Mary Lynaugh? With her was her friend, Estella Holle. Mary was teaching Estella how to wash windows. Mary was a short, chubby, smiling spinsterg Estella was a tall, thin, bois- terous spinster. The scene now changed, and I found myself in London, England. The first thing that greeted my eyes was a huge sign, which read: 'gCome to the Opera House tonight and see the famous American Orchestra leader and organizer of the Rubber Band.', I went, and there in all her pomp and glory was Clara Davidson. Clara was not the tall willowy girl I had known at school but was a very plump leader, who well filled her neat uniform. Among the members of the Rubber Band were Pearl Kessel, Mamie Keszycki, Flora ,lane Erfurth, Mattie Kirkpatrick, Grace Knutson, Lillian Kristan, and Lucille Kriz. Of course the concert was a great success. There was also a big circus in town. There I was delighted to see Gertrude Markus and Laura Oliver, who' were known as the Golddust Twins of America. They wore gold costumes and did the butterfly dance. Again the scene changed, and I was now in a city in Africa. I saw a huge crowd of natives, and wondering what the excitement was about I went over, and there were Clara Burmann and Alce Pottgether. They had become- missionaries, and had already converted twenty-two heathens. Clara invited me to take a trip across the desert to Timbuktoo by caravan. The caravan consisted of one thousand camels and about eighty men, among whom were Alfred Sandler, Alfred Nix, Edward Bruder, Clarence Johnson, and Albert Noren. It took us a long time to make that trip, as it was very hot and the camels dropped one after the other, and we were overjoyed when we finally reached the Tinchamane Well. There we met Felicita Albrecht, Aleda Anderson, Hilda Berg, Amelia Berky, Lenore- Camphausen, and Katherine Gissel- brecht, who said they were on their way to teach in a mission school in Murzuk, Tripo- litania. They told us that on the ship which had carried them to Africa they had THE SCHURZONE 73 met Gertrude Papke, Emma Nielsen, Adelaide Pearce, Marguerite Kirtsinger, Emily Petermichl, and Marguerite Guintoli, all of whom were on their way to Florence to study rhetoric. After a short sojourn at the well, we bade our friends farewell and went on our way. In the midst of the desert we were attacked by a band of desperadoes. The leader of the gang was Wilbur Sourby. I tried in vain to induce him to follow a more honest trade. The desperadoes took some of our goods and then let us go. As we were traveling across the desert, the camels suddenly started to stretch their necks and make queer noises. We then knew a sand Storm was coming up, andlwe hurriedly tied the forelegs and hindlegs of the camels together so that they would not run away. Unfortunately we failed to get all their legs tied before the storm broke. Edward Bruder, Clarence Johnson, and Albert Noren were sitting on the camels whose legs we had not had time to bind. Their camels ran away, and we never saw them or their riders again. ' Arriving at Timbuktoo we stopped to trade some of our goods for food stuffs. The salesman or trader at this trading station was Grant Bobzien. He had several female assistants who worked there part of each day, for in that town no one worked all day on account of the intense heat. Verna Johnson, Ruth Cooper, Helen Goebel, and Adeline Linkiewicz, the saleswomen, gave us our foodstuffs. Adeline showed us a letter she had just received from Mildred Benson saying that she was an overall maker for the coal miners in Montana. Now the air became cooler, the desert scene vanished, and I found myself sud- denly back in the United States, in Washington, D. C. Here everything was excite- ment, for the first woman president had just been elected. She was none other than our own Viola Wohld. Of course I went to visit her. She told me that Marjorie Payne was Speaker of the House and that Bernice Skala was writing a dictionary. Suddenly I was transported to San Francisco, California. Here I was told that Elizabeth Minnick was President of the Board of Education. She was dearly loved by the children of San Francisco, as she had passed a law prohibiting homework. While in San Francisco I went to visit one of the leading grammar schools, of which Lavinia Kirchman was the principal. In one of the corridors I met a group of dignified school teachers. They were Helen Chmielewski, Anna Hanson, Susan Hauge, Alma Poggensee, Florence Held, and Bertha Larson. Bertha invited me to her wedding, wl1ich was to be held the following week. The day of the wedding a special train arrived bearing the guests, among whom were: Edna Clarke, Edna Eggers, Leonette De Sutter, Beatrice Aldrich, Edythe Amhaus, Irma Herter, and Grace Bertolini. Edna Clarke told us that she was the Wife of a shoemakerg Edna Eggers was giving victrola lessons,'Leonette De Sutter was helping Mr. Patch teach bookkeeping, Beatrice Aldrich worked in a walile shop, Edythe Amhaus was keeper of an asylum, Grace Bertolini worked in a factory, making holes in Swiss cheese, and Irma Herter was a well-known short story writer. Again the scene changed suddenly. Now I found myself on a train accom- panied by Helen Preusch, Thelma Goldsmith, Loretta Mosiman, and Martha Munson, who were on their way to the South to do charity work for the Salvation Army. We chatted over old times, and Loretta told me she had heard that Herman Kasper was running for the office of Governor of Ohio. Believe me, she said, If he gets in, we'll have some snappy government. Here the girls got off to change trains, and I went on alone. Soon a young lady whom I instantly recognized as Winifred 74 THE SCHURZONE Lindsay came through the train selling popcorn and chewing gum. Among the people who boarded the train at the next station was Frieda Hoff, who said that she was traveling saleswoman for a big Detroit firm. Have you seen any of our classmates lately?', I asked her. Yes, she answered, I have seen Esther Dore. She is private secretary to the multimillionaire, Ralph Sievers. Paul Vlfiese is President of the Detroit State Bank and Julia Hoffman is treasurer. Frieda then showed me the program of a vaudeville show she had attended several weeks before. Glancing over it, I was surprised to see so many of my classmates doing vaudeville work. The program read as follows: Recitation .............. . ................... Clarice Minnick Soprano Solo .... ..... X fera Stocktield Violin Solo ....... .... E mma Hagedorn .Jokes and Riddles .......... .... M illicent Moll Soprano Solo .................................. Lucy Spiegel Address on W'oman Suffrage ...................... Alice Koons The manager of the vaudeville show was Myrtle Lund. Frieda got off at the next station, and I purchased a paper so that the time might pass more quickly. Looking over the newspaper, I saw this article: MAN BREAKS RECORD IN TYPEWRITING. Henry Lencki broke the record in typewriting yesterday, writing 199 words a minute at a meeting of all the manufac- turers of typewriting machines. Lencki will try for the diamond medal next Sunday afternoon at the Congress Hotel. Of course I was delighted to see how Mr. Lencki had increased his speed. I arrived in New York at 5:25. As I stepped off the train I saw a bluecoated policeman whom I recognized at once as William Mygatt. At the next crossing I saw Mabel Kuyak arrayed in a becoming uniform, whistling, calling, and motioning to the monutain of traffic on New Yorkis busiest street. In the distance I could see a brightly lighted theatre sign, announcing: PALACE THEATRE Barbara Rollinger Sz Mildred Carlson In Their Latest Success, MAN HATERSU Extra Attraction Today Boxing Match By Bertha Gruenewald and Elizabeth Hanisch e As I passed the theatre, a number of the ushers came out together. They were Helen Kolazinski, Johanna Barth, Martha Benson, Anna Sowka, Frances Genovese, and Hazel Griese. Hazel saw me and came over to speak to me. We then went to the Art Museum together to see paintings by the famous artists, Helen Hohnholz, Flor- ence Custafson, Elizabeth Malkus, and Ruth Brock. Standing in admiration before Florences picture was none other than Wilbur Speer. He told me he had opened a fish store in St. Louis, Mo., and had a branch office a few blocks from where we were. We walked down to his office together. Waitirig in the office when we arrived were John D. Rockefeller and his secretary, Eleanor Berg. Vlfhile Wilbur consulted with Mr. Rockefeller about fish, I turned to speak to his stenographers, Mildred Jorgensen, Lillian Sass, and Edith Falster. Soon I said farewell to my friends in Wilbur's olhce and went out and called a taxi. The taxi driver was Bertha Wessel. As we sped along, I noticed huge fC0lllI.llll3d on page 781 Last Will and Testament of the Two-Year Vocational June Class of 1921 RUTH PETERSON. E, the ll-A class of ,lune 1921, of the Carl Schurz High School, Milwaukee and Addison Avenue, City of Chicago, County of Cook, State of Illinois, United States of America, being about to pass out of this sphere of education, in full pos- session of a crammed mind, well-trained memory, and almost super-human under- standing, do make and publish this, our last will and testament, hereby revoking and making void all former wills or promises made by us at any time heretofore, or care- lessly spoken one to the other, as the thoughtless wish of an idle hour. And first we do direct that our funeral services be conducted by our friends and well-wishers, our principal and his all-wise and ever competent teachers, who have been our guardians for so long, only asking, as the last injunction of the dying, that the funeral be carried on with all dignity and pomp that our worth, our merit, our attainments, and our positions of Il-A's most certainly have deserved. As to such estate as it has pleased the fates and our own strong minds and brains to win for us, we do dispose of the same as follows: FIRST, We give and bequeath to our Principal, Mr. Slocum, our sincere affec- tion and heartiest gratitude. We bequeath him the privilege of introducing all speakers of note that come to Schurz to lecture the future pupils on subjects of in- terest to them. We leave him, with pleasure, the privilege of eating his hash in the fifth floor lunch room with the privilege of smiling at the Freshies and talking to the Seniors. We also bequeath him our smiles and everlasting good nature. SECOND, to Mr. Pettersen, our dearly beloved Assistant to the Principal, we bequeath the right to keep an eye on all other quick-witted 11A,s. We give him the privilege to open lockers after four oiclock for all persons having lost their locker keys on one of the wild journeys to and from classrooms. THIRD, Vlle give and bequeath to our dear teachers, a sweet and unbroken suc- cession of restful nights and peaceful dreams. No longer need they lie awake during the night to worry over the uncertainty of whether this student or that has done his homework. We also give to all of our teachers the amazing knowledge and startling information that we have furnished them from time to time in all various examination papers. W FOURTH, The following may seem trifling bequests, but we hope that they may be accepted as a continual reminder of the generosity of heart displayed in our free and full bestowal: 1. To Miss Rogers, the profound admiration and everenduring friendship of the class of 1921. We bequeath to her the balance in our class treasury, to be used in buying a pair of rubber shoes for detective work. We feel that she will be sure to need these in dealing with the classes that are to be our successors, also a bottle of black ink for future report cards in English classes. 2. To Miss Gehan, our Civics teacher, the hope that she may have as brilliant pupils in the future as this class has been. We leave her the pleasure to assign home-- work that will keep her pupils up all night copying articles out of the Encyclopedia. 3. To Miss Damler we give our deep appreciation for the many hints and sug- gestions which she has given us that have proven very helpful in our work. We give the pleasure of suggesting parties and spreads, also of looking up articles to read to us instead of dictation exercises. We bequeath her the privilege of pounding into the ivory skulls of her pupils the same knowledge which she has succeeded in pound- ing into our skulls. ' 76 THE SCHURZONE 4. To Mr. Patch we leave our sincere love and hope he will be as easy with the other students as he has with us. -5. To Miss Theilgaard, the rest and peace that should follow the rush and trouble that went with the successful guiding of our hands and brains to their present state. We also bequeath her the privilege of saying, Each pupil please take his seat at 8:55. 6. To Miss Woelfel, we leave a book of Trial Balances to be converted into a Ledger so that she will not run out of examinations. 7. To Miss Boughton we leave a buried treasure on Candy Island in gratitude towards her for the many excuses that she has written for us. 8. To our gymnasium teachers, we bequeath the task of trying to make the girls see the value of a good constitution and good posture. We leave them the right to think up new torture exercises. 9. To Miss Dietz, expert stenographer, a beautiful tin star. 10. To the engineer we gladly give the privilege of firing up on mid-winter Monday mornings. 11. To the ll-A Class that is to be we give any stubs of pencils, erasers or scraps of paper that we may leave behind us in the excitement and haste of gathering up our cherished treasures. 12. To all the pupils, the privilege and honor of always keeping to the right in the corridors and not stand and gossip but move right along. We leave them the Schurzone with the understanding that they do all in their power to maintain its present standards. 13. To Miss Roger's future English classes, the privilege of being as surprised as we were when she sprang an unexpected tet. Certain individuals wish to leave their personal property. 1. Susanne Hauge leaves her lip-stick to Dorothy Bronson. 2. Lenore Camphausen wills her eyebrow pencil to all future beauties of Schurz. 3. Eleanor Berg leaves her diamond ring from the Hugo Glass Company to Miss Gehan and asks her to cherish it from one who loves her dearly. 4.

She hopes there will be no one killed in the rush. 6. Aleda Anderson bequeaths to Edna Paulsen her box of rouge that Dame Nature gave her. All the rest of our property, not before disposed of fafter our debts and funeral expenses have been settledj, we give and bequeath to our beloved principal, for his use and beneiit absolutely to be disposd of for the good of the coming classes as he may see fit. We, the members of the II-A Graduating Class, do hereby constitute and ap- point our beloved Division Room. Teachers executors of this, our last will and testa- ment. In witness whereof we, the members of the class of 1921, have to this our will set our hands and seal this 20th day of June, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-one. Signed, sealed and witnessed by IKE 8t lW1IKE, MM. CURIE, OLIVE OIL. THE SCHURZONE 77 Class History of Two-Year Graduates of 1921 MERGING one morning in early September, I was confronted with the startling fact that to-day-oh! the memories of years gone by-that to-day was to be the day of all days. I was going to high, school. With an air of importance, I sallied here and there, doing this and that, until, after what seemed to me an eternity, I was finally ready to leave. With the school in view I made a supreme effort to hide my excitement and to put on a look of total unconcern, but I am afraid I failed in my efforts. I went so far as to get inside one of the entrances, but there I stopped. My thoughts were here interrupted by the appearance of a crowd of boys and girls who seemed to be in the same plight as I. I secretly determined to follow them and this I did until I reached the assembly hall, where I was given instructions regarding courses, division rooms, etc. So ended the day. The second day was more eventful, not including the numerous mistakes in rooms, the breaking of incalculable rules, and the unnecessary loss of time on the part of tour teachers, occasioned by frequent foolish questions. And so the time passed, till I found myself well into the fourth semester before I attended my first social function at Schurz. The party was given in the gymnasium, March 3, and was declared a thorough success hy all those who attended. In the meantime the class was organized and elections were held. Alice Koons had the honor of being chosen class president, Adelaide Pearce, vice-president, Barbara Orr, secretary, and Viola Wohld, treasurer. Various meetings were held in which the class business was taken care of. The next number of our social calendar was a party given in the gymnasium, May 27. We were certainly indebted to the teachers for the provision and supervision of such an enjoyable time, .and to the girls who so generously gave up their time for the benefit and enjoyment of the others. True to custom the regulation class spreads and luncheons were held, which were as usual a success in every case. Then came commencement, the pin- nacle of our greatest hopes and desires. But before we realized it, all was over and sorrowfully retracing the joyful footsteps of that memorable September day, we slowly passed out- With a smile on our lips And a tear in our eye We all bid farewell To dear Carl Schurz High. HELEN D. HOHNHOLZ. Fellow Parents! Nine year old Abraham Lincoln Washington Jones, presenting a considerably battered appearance, was Exhibit A in the case against his mother, a more than plump African matron, in a Virginia Court.

Then we began talking about our old schoolmates. She said she heard that Ethel Peterson was a famous beauty and artists, model, that Anna Mau, Olive Gertz, and Frieda Arnold were elevator operators in the Woolworth building, that Loretta Names and Mildred Schramm were dentists, and that Genevieve Georgi and Myrtle Lund owned and operated a beauty parlor. ,lust as Bertha was talking I felt a jolt. Taxi and driver vanished, and I found myself in Butte, Montana. The first person I recognized there was Esther Catalano. She was the wife of a dairyman, and was going to milk the cows so that her husband could distribute the milk. She told me that Evelyn Carstens lived on a nearby farm and was famed for her ability in train- ing the most stubborn bronchos. I Went at once over to Evelynis farm. There I found many of my old cronies, visiting Evelyn. Among them were Helen Tobin. Frieda Westermann, Florence Skuce, Mary Rosenmund, and Amelia Kleker. After watching Evelyn rope a broncho, we began to talk over old times. Helen Tobin said she was a canvasser for Wrigley's Chewing Gum. CI noticed that she chewed incessantlyl. Amelia Kleker was vice-president of a large bankg Frieda Wester- mann was an interpretive dancerg Florence Skuce had married a descendant of John Alden and Priscilla Mulleng and Mary Rosenmund was America's foremost literary critics. Florence Skuce told us that Bernice Scheiner was a professional ice-skater and gave exhibitions daily, that Jeannette Baroch was a great poetess and Leone Meilahn was a famous modiste. The visions in the crystal became suddenly blurred, and I was myself again. The Hindu told me the prohecy was at an end. He then took leave, and I sat for many an hour pondering over the strange doings of fate. Who knows what might happen in ten years? I will now take leave of you and let you ponder over the same question. THE SCHURZONE 79 Table of Contents Page Frontispiece ....

C4 HY couldn't we do that?,, murmured Elaine Palmer thoughtfully to her- self, looking up from a book she had been reading. Then she sat in silence for a moment, looking off into space, after the manner of dreamers. We could-I'm sure we couldf' she repeated. I'll go see daddy, and off she ran to her father's study. Her father greeted her with a smile, as everyone always did. No one ever spoke crossly to Elaine. Her sunny disposition was infetious and made her the favorite of the whole town of Avon. Now, she rumpled her father's hair, dropped a kiss on his forehead, and drew her little stool at his feet. 'What is it, Sunshine? he asked, using the pet name he had given her when a baby. He looked into the sweet, eagerly upturned face of his daughter, and thought with fatherly pride that this beautiful, girlish, happy creature, was his own-his very own. He was a very distinguished looking man, but his face was kindly, and just now very tender. John Palmer was thinking of how closely Elaine resembled her beloved mother, who had left them but two years before. Now, daddy, you don't need that little cottage that you own, down at the end of Country Lane, do you?,' Elaine began coaxingly. Why child, what do you want that 'for?', returned her father. F or something, Elaine answered wisely, but with a mischevious twinkle in her merry brown eyes. Then in a few words, she told him her plan. and won his consent. A boyish whistle was heard outside, and a few seconds later, she was greeting Warren Adams. . O Warren, I have the grandest plan you ever heard ofn Elaine exclaimed at sight of him. Tell me, Warren begged, as he settled himself in a huge porch chair. He and Elaine had been friends and neighbors since early childhood, and he regarded her more as a fellow comrade than as a girl. .lust now, he was thinking how pretty she looked in her dainty summer frock. Her hair was arranged simply, but becomingly, and her mass of brown curls had a bewitehing way of falling over her shoulders. Her cheeks were flushed with excitement, and her eyes shone. Elaine looked thoroughly girlish, and yet, she could hold her own with any boy, in swim- ming, running, skating, and even in boy's sports. Altho he was not aware of it, Warren was just as healthy and refreshing to look at as Elaine. His ruddy cheeks, fine dark eyes, and broad shoulders bespoke per- fect youth. Elaine repeated her plan, and it evidently met with Warren's approval, for he clapped his hands, and exclaimed, Bully, Bob, bully. Long ago, Elaine had con- fided to him. that she would much rather have been a boy, and he had arranged to call her Bob, and treat her as he would a boy. 'iNow Warren, you must spread the news, and have everybody go over to the cottage at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon, Elaine told him. I will, he promised, and he went away in high spirits, because Elaine had bestowed upon him a most gratifying smile. He adored Elaine with all the frankness of a manly, merry, American boy. The next afternoon a happy band of young folks gathered at Mr. Paliner's little cottage. The house, that had been empty for so long, echoed and reechoed with mirth and light-hearted laughter. But they did not forget the seriousness of the task they had undertaken, and slacken in their work. The little place was THE SCHURZONE 81 undergoing a severe cleaning. Dusty windows became shining and clear, floors were scoured, and even the grass was cut. Elaine, do you think we can get enough furniture together? asked Fay Steven- son anxiously. Well, weive lots of old furniture in the attic that just needs to be polished and shined to look nice again. Mrs. Adams has some to give me too. But thereis one thing I would like to have and that's a big, roomy couch for the parlor. Now, you know I was thinking of how nice and kind old Mr. Black, the owner of that furniture store downtown is. Daddyknows him quite well, and I'm sure that if we ask him he will donate a couch. lf I could talk one min- began Warren. And tomorrow, we can all go down and see him,', finished Elaine, ignoring Warren. This was an old trick of theirs and often afforded the others much amuse- ment. Three days later the little house had once more assumed a homelike aspect. There were snowy white curtains in the windows, and the porch and steps were perfectly clean. Inside, the atmosphere was that of a well kept home. The much discussed couch occupied one corner of the parlor, and it was so roomy and pretty that even Elaine could not wish it nicer. From the parlor to the pantry, where a complete set of dishes reposed on the shelves, the house was perfect. Thursday afternoon Mr. Palmer viewed the house and pronounced it complete. Thursday night, Elaine stole out alone to have a last look at the place before its new dwellers took possession. They'll be so much happier here, she said to herself, as she lovingly rear- ranged the pillows on the sofa for the fourth time. Someone came hurriedly up the steps, and a. moment later, Warren opened the door. When he sa.w Elaine, a somewhat sheepish look came into his face as if he scorned himself for his act. What is it Warren? Elaine asked him. I just thought I'd like to see the place again, before they dof' he answered. So did I,', laughed Elaine. Oh, Warren, Mrs. Morton and Mrs. Fessler were plainly delighted, when I told them yesterday. They just haven't any hearts at all, or they would be glad to keep the po-or things with them. Everybody isn't as kind hearted and generous as you, you know, Bob. Elaine Hashed Warren a look that silenced him. He was not allowed to praise Elaine in her presence in any way. But he was too frank and lovable for her to scold long. Let's set the table, Bob, she proposed, and in a few moments he was busy handing Elaine dishes, and watching her graceful movements as she put the little table in order. A little later he locked the door, handing Elaine the key, and the two walked down the dimly lighted street. Let's run to the corner, Warren said, taking Elaine's hand, and under cover of the friendly darkness, the two comrades ran as swiftly as two children. The next afternoon, a little old woman was happy in the knowledge that Elaine Palmer and her chum, Fay Stevenson, were coming to take her to the little cottage that Elaineis father owned to have tea there, before the new owners took possession. But that was not the best part of it. David, her husband, was going to be there, and it was so seldom that she saw him, now that she lived with one son, and he with another. Warren and Iohnie Eastman were going to bring David to the cottage, so she knew he would be safe. fContinued on page 821 l WY 1 82 THE SCHURZONE The Runaway DONALD BISSELL. ALPH FRAZER and Chester Baxter were two small pals whose ages were ten and nine respectively. At this age, like the rest of their sex, they were very wise and versed in the ways of the world. Chester, nicknamed Chet, had just received a razor stropping from his father because he had neglected to spade the ground necessary for a garden. It was small wonder then that as Chet's', father was passing the chicken house on his way to the garden he heard Chet's angry voice raised in reply to a mumbled question he could not distinguish. I won't stand for it, I won't. I've been the goat around here long enough. Well, whatcha going to do about it? This from a voice which was unmis- takahly Ralphis, who was unanimously dubbed Tubby', because of his enormous girth. I'll run away, thatis what I'll do, answered Chet, with a note of decision. 'Whereill ye go? How'll ye get money? Whereill ye sleep?', questioned Tubby, all in one breath. Oh, I'11 get money all rightf, answered Chet. I'll have to take pa's revolver with me 'cause I'm going to Texas and l'll have to shoot Indians and bad cowmen. That's the least of my worries, he finished. Ceel Thatis swell, was all Tubby could say. They sat there for some minutes, their imaginations lost in the glory of guns and Indians plus cowboys racing around on thoroughbreds. At last the spell was broken by Tubby's logical question: When ya going? Chet's boyish face took on a worried aspect, but, after a moment's considera- tion, he replied decisively: Right after supper. I'll tell 'em Ilm going to bed and then l'll slip down the rainspout and then go over to the station and get a ticket for Texas? From around the corner of the chicken house Chefs father smiled to himself and then turned abruptly and started for the house. A full hour had elapsed before Chet entered the house to carry out his plans. Stealthily he entered his father's den where he knew was always kept a revolver and a few bills for emergency. Both were missing but Chet could not account for this disappearance. Iust then his mother called the family to the evening meal. After dinner was over Chefs father took up the evening paper and glancing through the motion picture directory called to Chet sitting moodily in the other room, 'What do you say, Chet, to a walk down to the Victoria tonight? William S. Hart in his latest. I The next morning Tubby spied Chet vigorously spading the garden. What's the matter? Get cold feet? was Tubbyis disdainful salutation. Cold feet nothing, Hung back Chet. I couldn't find the money or the gun. Then, after a slight pause, Anyway, the old man took me to see a show and I'd take it licking any day to see Bill Hart. i 95 'I i 'K' if 'I' i N fCon.tinued from page 816 After tea, Elaine and Fay led the old couple into the parlor. The girls looked at each other, and then Elaine said softly, My father gave me this cottage to do as I pleased with, and all the boys and girls and Fay and Warren and Johnie have helped me to make it into a home for you. You are always to live here, and have this cottage for your very, very own. Then Fay and Elaine softly left the house, and left the wondering old couple together. Thus was their old age made happy. THE SCHURZONE' 83 Carl Schurz, The Man ARL SCHURZ, for whom our school is named, was an American of foreign birth, a soldier, a political leader, and a journalist. He was born in Liblar, Prussia, on March 2, 1829. He received l1is education at Cologne Gymnasium and at the University of Bonn. Because of his part in the revolutionary movement of 1848-18119, he was forced to retire to Switzerland. This was the first big event in his life. In the year 1850 he returned secretly to Germany and with great skill succeeded in helping Kinkel, a political prisoner, escape from the fortress Spandau. In 1852 Schurz emigrated to the United States. He settled in Philadelphia and afterward in Wisconsin, where he was an unsuccessful candidate for lieutenant-governor. In 1859 he began to practice law in Milwaukee. When the National Republican Convention met in Chicago in 1860, Schurz delivered speeches in English and German. He was, in a quiet way, a popular politician. In 1861 he was appointed Minister to Spain by President Lincoln but resigned on the outbreak of the Civil War to join the army. As Brigadier-General he com- manded advances at the second battle of Bull Run. As Major-General he led the Eleventh Corps at Chancellorville and participated in the battles of Gettysburg and Chattanooga. Indeed, no man did his bit better than Carl Schurz. While Grant was president he strongly opposed a radical program for the South. In 1865 he founded the Detroit Post, and he also wrote excellent biographies of Henry Clay and Abraham Lincoln. He was a member of the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Carl Schurz served as United States Senator from Missouri in 1869-1875. He supported Hayes in 1876 and afterward served in his cabinet as Secretary of the ln- terior. During his office as Secretary of t.he Interior and after his retirement from public life, he was an enthusiastic advocate of Civil Service Reform. As an up- holder of usound money he opposed Bryan, but four years later supported him, dis- agreeing with McKinley's Philip-pine policy. Later Schurz supported Justice A. B. Parker for the presidency. This man, who had made a strong impression on American politics and history, died in New York, May 14, 1906. In 1913 a monument was erected to him on Morningside Drive, New York. The life history of this energetic man, whose name has been given to our great school, should live in the minds of every Carl Schurz pupil: first, out of reverence for the man and his service to America, and second, because of the love we bear for Carl Schurz High School. ' ls there a pupil with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said: There isn't a school in our whole land Whose name is writ with proudcr handg My Alma Mater, Carl Schurz High! --Merle Dondanville. The Opium Mystery FLORENCE M. JASPER. Complete silence reigned in the luxurious apartment of David Merril, the great detective. The rooms lay in fiickering darkness, only the shadows of the leaves outside the French doors moved. From without came the mysterious night noises, which go unnoticed in the day, but to the unattuned ear are multiplied many times in the night. A small scraping sound like that of a chain being moved a fraction of an inch was heard. The great detective lay silent but his eyes flashed open and then closed again. Then the sound of heavy cloth brushing up against the wall met his ears. He silently reached under his pillow, grasped the cold butt of an auto- matic and, with a lightning movement, flashed on the lights: Put ,em up, he snapped. The intruder slowly raised a p-air of long yellowish hands from under his capelike coat, thus dropping a long, gleaming dagger. A tall, slender youth leaped from the hallway into the room and stared in sur- prise at the scene which lay before him. Will, old boy, said Merril evenly, will you kindly snap these bracelets on the gentleman's arms. It seems as though he doesn't quite like the idea of grasping the nirfi' The boy quickly snapped on the wristlets and pushed the prisoner into a chair., Merrill donned a dressing gown and, taking a chair, placed it before the man, sur- veying him coolly. Hold this automatic a minute, Will, he said. Will pressed it against the Oriental's back and Merril proceeded with his exam- ination of the prisoner's clothing. His second glance had corroborated his impres- sion that the intruder was Chinese, there was a subtle trace of the Orient in his features. He felt a thrill of anticipation for the new adventure. The Oriental sat stolidly erect until Merril's fingers reached into his shirt and drew forth a tiny .lade case. Hmnn, he muttered. Will's glance strayed to the French doors and unconsciously strove to pierce the darkness. The next instant another form jumped from the balcony and threw itself upon Wiill. The two grappled and fell to the floor, rolling over and over until a terrific blow on the head of the young man crashed down and merciful darkness en- veloped him. The prisoner watched the entrance of the other Chinaman and sprang for Mer- ril. But he was caught by the wristlets and forced down. Somehow Merril lost his grip and inch by inch he felt the other's fingers creep to his throat. A suffocating sensation clouded his mind and in a dim way he made a last effort to resist that strangling force. He gripped a cold object from the floor and, with his last vestige of strength, b1'oti9'l1t it down upon the other's head. He fell back to the floor, realiz- ing that the choking force was gone. Through lowered eyelids he saw the last in- truder search the manacled prisoner in vain for some article which he deemed of supreme imuor'ance. He looked rnalevolently at Will, but glided silently to Merril. A pair of long. slender hands with white yellowish nails, explored the cavernous pockets of the dressing gown. Only a pen and a broken pipe and a pocket comb could be found, and these were dashed to the Hoor in rage. A hubbub was heard from the hall and Merril knew that help had come. The intruder, with a glance of uncertainty and hate, drew forth a long, gleaming dagger. but the next instant turned and vanished into the night. The butler and chauffeur broke through the apartment door, and the former, fContinued on pa-ge 865 Who's Goin' to Camp Roosevelt? Oh, I say, Tom, have you signed up for Camp Roosevelt yet? No, and what's more, I'm not goin' to. You're not? Why, what are you going to do this summer? I don't know yet. I'm going to try to get a job, and if I can't, I'm going to stay right here and go swimmin' every day, and do what I like without being told when and where and how to do it. I'm goin' to have some fun without its costing anything. Well, what do you suppose we go to camp for. Why do you suppose the fellows are so keen to go if they don't have any fun? Do you think they're tryin' to punish themselves? I'd like to get a job well enough, but it's so hard for grown men right now to get jobs that I don't think there's very much chance for young fellows. Another thing, I worked last summer 'cause I got such big pay, but I didn't have any vacation, and my school work didn't compare with my last year after I'd had a summer out in the open. The two months we get for vacation, seems to me, should be spent outdoors as much as possible. Well, I'll probably be down at the lake all summer, lyin' in the nice, hot sand when I'm not swimmin'. Then, when I want to I can go downtown, or play baseball, or go to a movie, or do anything I like. Maybe you think we don't go swimmin'. Right in good old Lake Michigan, too. The only difference is that we have miles of clear, white sand and a back- ground of sand dunes covered with pine and hemlock trees. Here the beach is packed with people from all over the city that you've never seen before. At camp it's just our own fellows. But we've so many other things to occupy our time that we don't spend any time just lazing around. If we want to start up a game of base- ball, we can always make up a nine without any trouble. As for goin' downtown, can you imagine anything worse than walking down State Street, when it's a hun- dred and ten in the shade, having everybody push you from side to side? Ugh, not for me. Give me the woods ever ytime. What's there about that camp that makes you rave so, I'd like to know? Why, nothin' in particular. It's the whole combination, the get-together spirit of the whole thing that makes you like it. You just can't help it. Think of getting up early in the morning of a day in the middle of August, with a nice, fresh breeze blowing from the lake, to brace you up. Then imagine a whole day before you to do a dozen things, all of them good sport. In the morning you have setting up exercises, military drill, skirmishing, and such things or, if you are in a school company, you can learn how to make a flying machine, or how to take an automobile apart, and put it together again. Or you can take any of the academic subjects to get extra credit here in school. In the afternoon you can play baseball, basketball, tennis, go swimmin' or learn to shoot a rifle on a cracker-jack rifle range. Then, there are over- night hikes, when you build your own bonfire and cook your own grub. As for movies, w ehave 'em out in the open air, on the shores of a very pretty channel connecting Lake Michigan and Lake Mona. And the movies are part of the camp life, and don't cost us a cent. ,lust think of getting all those things for about a dollar a day, while here, if you go to a bathing beach for a few hours it costs you that much, or more, and what do you get for it? In the evenings, we have big camp fires and sit around and listen to prosperous business men tell how they became successful, nothin' stiff or formal about it, the men are just like one o fus. The army officers tell about the life in army camps, and then Y secretaries start up a popular tune, and the campfire becomes an honest-to- goodness song-fest. Oh, boy,it's the berries. 86 , THE SCHURZONE while expressing his surprise, went quietly about his business at a sign from Merril, restoring order out of chaos. Will was revived and carried to a couch and the prisoner was led to a small windowless room for safety. When the door closed upon the three Will said weakly, Gee, gosh! That was sudden! But, gee! I'm sorry that other guy got away. W'hat's it all about, any- way?,' Without answering his protege's question, Merril ran his fingers deftly over the lump on Willis head. Feel any better?,' he asked. Will flushed at the decided repulse but answered, Yep, a little. '4IVell, boy, I know that you hate to miss any excitement if you can possibly help it, but -his eyes twinkled- I think you're too sick to go out on a raid tonight. Who? Me? Why, I'm as slick as grease. Wait'll I take a cold shower and put some ice and arnica on this bump and.I'll be a new man. With this he jumped to his feet and ran out, banging the door behind him. Merril smiled but instantly sobered. He snapped off the lights, and, with his automatic in his left hand, stepped out on the balcony and surveyed the lawn before him. His eyes were attracted to a slight movement at the left. He climbed over the railing and jumped to the grass, and directed his footsteps to a large evergreen bush. An enormous Russian wolfhound sat complacently upon the escaped Chinaman, his bared fangs threateningly near his throat. Good work, Ali. I knew I could trust you. Get up now. The dog's eyes glowed as he watched his master motion the other to arise and then covered him with a gun as they walked to the house, where the detective put him under lock and key. By this time Will had emerged from his room carrying his wounded head jauntily erect. Say, guvinor, not ready yet? In three minutes both were speeding down the city streets to the police station. In two more a squad of policemen were on their way to raid a prominent Chinese restaurant in the Chinese quarter. At a sharp whistle from Merril the raid com- menced. Will lost track of Merril but soon had his hands full trying to wrestle down a small ,lap who seemed to be frantic to escape. He was finally arrested, with a score or more of Chinamen. The next morning Merril and Will sat bandaging their bruises in the quiet atmosphere of the library. Will knew the story was coming. Some time ago, he began, we discovered that opium was being smuggled in via the Atlantic. I tried hard to find some trace as to how it entered, but in vain. Wie suspected the restaurant as the distributing place, but we had no proof. The other night I went to the restaurant, disguised, of course, and was mistaken for a confederate. The waiter cleverly slipped me a note iniChinese. I found that it referred vaguely to the Chinese-American Tea Import Company and intimated something about to happen on Friday evening. '4Tonight,,, interrupted Will. Yes. We also had some definite information from a Chinaman I ha.d arrested. Fearing that I would discover the procws of smuggling he sent-as you have seen- these men to kill me. But Ali and an electric bell saved the day. I'll explain, he added, seeing the puzzled look in Will's face. 6'When the last Chinaman attacked you I stepped on an electric bell which I had installed and it rang in the butler's and chauFfeur's room. That was to summon them to the scene. Somehow Ali missed the pair when they came, but he certainly caught the last one. He chuckled at the fContin.ued on page 875 Our Botany Trip. The Botany students were to go on a picnic Tuesday, April 25, if the weather permitted, and if it rained Tuesday we were to go Friday. Sure enough it rained Monday and Tuesday, making it impossible for us to go. Friday morning I rose and went to see how the weather was. I thought it would be impossible to go as it was very cold. I called up Theresa Binder and Evelyn Heininger and as we had everything ready to go we decided to take the trip in spite of the cold. We bundled up in our winter coats and high shoes and after having collected our lunch boxes and put our rubbers twhich our mothers made us takej in a knap- sack we took the car to Grayland train station, where we expected to find a large group of Botany students but instead we found only Mr. Plapp, all dressed up to meet the wear of the trip in high shoes 'n everything. Evelyn Farr and Lucille Westburg arrived shortly after, and at ten ten we were on the train enjoying the scenery on our way to Edgebrook, Illinois. We arrived there full of pep and were very glad we brought our rubbers with us when we started our walk through the woods. We identified many trees. Among these were the red oak, white oak and hickory which comprise an upland forest, maple and hawthorne, crab apple and white ash. The flowers we found' were the Colder Alexander, Wild Canada Ginger, Trillium, Violets, Phlox, Jacks-in-the-Pulpitg but to our dismay we couldn't pick them'as Edgebrook is a Forest Preserve. When it came near dinner time, we met Clayton Goodrich, who was handy to have around, as he carried our boxes and coats. We roasted weenies and marsh- mallows after dinner. Mr. Plapp proved himself as able a wood-worker as a teacher when he made a toothpick out of a twig. We ate dinner in an opening amid the ruins of the storm that damaged many trees last year. The fire we made or rather tried to make, was, as Mr. Plapp said: Enough to beat the Dutch. When we were about ready to go further, the fire burned like fury and was so hot, it almost put lVIr. Plapp to sleep. We wended our way out of the woods and at one time we found ourselves midst puddles of water and were sorry we forgot our boats but hope to remember them another time. At three fifty-seven, we got on the train to go home, a much tired but happy and jolly bunch. Ruth Bickner, '23. tCorwinued from page 861 remembrance. You know something about the raid, but this you don't know any- thing of. We found four two-pound tea cans and one small sack of opiumt. This is the most ever found on a raid. That wiry ,lap who was so wriggly was the head of the Chinese-American Tea Import Company and chief boss The crooks in my room were both petty chiefs in the gangf, Did you expect them? Not quite to soon, but we caught them anywayf' What was in the green glass box? Will, that isn't green glass but priceless jade and inside was an order for 340,- 000 to that small Jap, Aug See. When the second Chinaman rushed in and and the other one immediately grappled with me, I threw it into the inverted bowl of the fixture and he never noticed it. The admiring eyes of his young friend was all the commendation he desired. Yes, he mumbled contentedly, as he puffed his pipe and serenely watched the azure smoke, the largest opium mystery in the Big City. I s ul I X I lil.

Here they will receive the same consideration and training as in the ordinary school term. Some of us perhaps have foolishly slid back a cog from our classmates. Perhaps we cannot hope to graduate in the same class as the rest of the bunch. Now is the time to remedy this! Why not enter summer school this summer and catch up with your friends? A student should stick with those persons with whom he started school. lf he falls behind, he can never become entirely accustomed to his new surroundings--can never become a real friend to those with whom he has cast his lot. For his new acquaint- ances are distrustful of him-are ready to take any opportunity to prove that he is trying to lord it over them because he has been at school longer than they have. This attitude on the part of a class is decidely uncomfortable to the flunker and the latter should avoid such a situation if it is possible. The way out is summer school. 5 Exchanges The Tuley Review-This was one of thest best annuals we have ever reviewed. The stories are exceptionally clever. Empehi-Your magazine really has good literary material but you need to make it look as interesting as it is to read. The Devils Pi-When we read your last number we were delighted. After read- ing your new Senior number we feel the same. You certainly maintain an interest- ing and well arranged paper. The Scoop-We are glad to have read your Freshman Issue. It was indeed a clever idea to have the news printed on green paper. Red and White-You seem to have every possible department a high school magazine can have except a snapshot page. Why not .liven up the solid pages of your splendid literary material with some choice illustrations. The Crane Tech--A fine editor, good reporters and some clever cartoonists dis- play their ability in your excellent paper. You have true quality. The Oracle News-Yours is a very dignified paper. However, it needs more pep in the literary material and fewer ads to make it really interesting. The Colt-Your paper has a pleasurable kick to it. Quality paper, lively edi- torials-it certainly is refreshing to read. The Green and White-We like the original departments in your paper very much. It seems to be overbrimming with news. The New Trier News-Your paper maintains a high standard of quality. It is something different and distinctive in the way of a school paper. We enjoy reading every number that you send us.

Justine Palmer was called on as being the mysterious woman of the class, but as she failed to reveal in her speech the connection the class is still baffled by the mystery. Speaking of speeches, let me tell you about Mathew Fetridge. His great oratorical powers left the class speechless. He conducted the aH'air with such easy grace that we predict a great career for him. After the spread we danced as all good Schurzites do, but Miss Semmelmeyer, what did you do with the boys? They made themselves conspicuous by their absence. We-know it took a long time to put away the chairs and tables, but surely not all afternoon. At any rate McRae and Petrolewitz redeemed themselves by having a private dance after the rest had gone. M. W. The 4B Party. On Thursday, May 5, the 4-B's gave a party to which they invited the 4tA's. Oh, what fun they had. They began with a grand march, which had so many twists and turns that it made one dizzy. But what cared they for a little dizziness, for at the end they were rewarded with lovely caps of the very latest and most approved fash- ions, which Miss Dolan, Miss Wilson, Miss Berquist and the 4B girls made. Then there was a cotillion with all sorts of pretty favors-bouquets for the girls, canes for the aged, balloons for the children and snappers and horns for the joyful. Five figures of twenty-four couples each were danced, with a dance for all between each two. We must not forget the Russian Ballet Girls I? J , whose dancing, to say the least. was so very remarkable that it surely deserves honorable mention. Who would ever have thought that four serious, dignified senior boys could have made such graceful girls! Those four boys who took part in the race ought to be presented with the kiddie kars-they looked so cunning on them-and the girls, too, who were chained to the chairs, deserve some reward for sitting still so long. Imagine their anxiety as he boys fitted keys to the locks. They were truly in an anxious seat. After dancing and having a good time all afternoon, the class and its guests went into 201, where roses were growing in the ice cream.. Everyone had two gener- ous servings and all left gay. Eugene Baker entertained and amused all by giving a humorous reading. Then, after a little more dancing, the party, which is the 'last the 4B's expect to give this year, was over. Miss Campbell, Miss Armstrong and Mr. Hintz deserve special mention for their admirable management of our First co'il- lion. Stella Clinton '22, The Civics Club. Under the leadership of the new officers the Civics Club has made wonderful strides toward bettering the school. Several boys were provided with long pointed rods with which to pick up loose papers about the campus. We wish to take this opportunity to congratulate them upon their success. Under the direction of the chairman of the Community Service new warning signs to autoists were placed in the vicinity of the school. The treasurer of the Civics Club deserves credit for securing so many new members. The outgoing ollicers wish to impress upon the coming class the responsibility, the honor, and all that the Civics Club stands for, and wish them the greatest success possible in tse coming year. A. S., '21. H l THE SCHURZONE 93 QA Class. Two-YEAR VOCATIONAL GRADUATES. Here W e Are. We have been rather slow this year in organizing our class, but nevertheless, here we are, the Two-Year Vocational Class of June, 1921, and with a large number, too, for we are 137 strong. Oh! What a vacant spot there will be when we leave our dear old Schurz. But, Cheer Up, quite a few of us are coming back to continue our studies and fun. We held our first meeting, organized our class, and elected our ofiicers on March 17, 1921. All thatcould be heard above the buzz of voices was, 1 nominate, and I second, until the officers were elected. The following are the Officers of the Two-Year June Graduating Class. Alice Koons .......................... .......... P resident Adelaide Pearce . . .... Vice-President Barbara Orr ................. ............. S ecretary Viola Wold ..................................... Treasurer We have made a fine beginning, and we expect to keep up the good work till graduation. We have had one party, and are going to have another May 27. We are busy several nights afte rschool making favors. Oh! What an array there will be as our class is full of pep, and we are looking forward to a grand affair. A. K. P., '21. The QA -2B Dance. The 1lB's and l1A's of the four year commercial course gave a party and dance on Friday, May 20, 1921. Miss Woelfel was the chaperon. It was the first party given by this class. One hundred and fifty attended and all enjoyed them- selves immensely. The Guard System. At the beginning of our Senior year, Mr. Slocum asked the June class of '21 to take charge of the Guard System and reorganize it. During the last year, the progress of the Guard System has been phenomenal. This is due, greatly to the efforts of our faculty adviser, for, when the work of the reorganization started, the well known gavel of Miss Semmelmeyer came down with a bang, and it was known that serious attention must be paid to the Guard System. It has become so efficient that today, 1 feel confident in saying that, few, if any, high schools in Chicago have a better marshal system than Schurz. A few of the accomplishments of the Guard System are: Cleaning up of the paper which littered our corridorsg clearing out the halls after the sixth and seventh periods, when so many of the students go home, maintaining silence and order during the eighth period, and giving the guards a definite organization with ofiicers and entertainments. All in all, it may be said that, in the promotion of the civic welfare of Schurz, no class has done more, and few have done as much as the June class of '21. Much praise, however, must be given to the lower classmen, who have aided in perfecting one of the most efiicient Guard Systems of any high school in Chicago. E. S. R., seey.

Fourteen members of the June class of '21 have formed the Vagabond Club, the purpose of which is to further the social activity of its members. This club is represented in every activity of the school, twelve out of the fourteen members serving on the various committees of the Senior Class. A number of the boys are also on the Honor Roll. The Vagabonds gave a dance on May 12, 1921, at the Rogers Park Womaxfs Club, which was a great success. S. E. C., '21. 21 CLUB. The '21 Class, which is noted for its class distinctions, has blossomed forth in another pretty flower of individuality. The 21 Club was organized late in February, 1921, and has now reached its limited membership of ten girls and eleven boys. The purpose of the club is to hold intact a group of members of the June class of '21, who will consider it their bounden duty to live up to their present reputation of having good times, such as were had at Riverside, and also at the dance held at Independence Park Field House May 6. H. S. C. l ...i M THESCHURZONE R. 0. T. C. At last Schurz has come out with a real R. O. T. C. rifle team with great hopes of winning the championship of the city. The best material for the five-man crack team is: G. Brown . . . C. Anderson . Trella ...... H. Darlington Counter .... Koehler . . . K. Sheffer .. C. Soule .... Average Score . . . . 21 . . . . 20+ . . . . 20+ .... 20+ ....2o+ ....20+ ....2o+ 20+ There are also about fifteen more who have average scores of between 18 and 20 who compose the rest of the team. The Crack Company has been drilling every morning from 8:15 to 8:50 and is on its way to perfection. Let's all help to make it perfect. All R. O. T. C. boys can help by turning out at 8:15 every morning. There is plenty of room left and a rifle for every man, for one hundred light-weight rifles were received Tuesday, May 10. Let's all show some spirit and turn out and put Schurz where it ought to be- at the front. K. A. Shejer. 0ur R. O. T. C. boys have steadily been improving, not only in knowledge but in appearance, as was shown by the inspection on our campus May 5. Every one of our boys proved perfect in drill and appearance, and General Helmick, the inspect- ing ollicer, said it was the finest group of boys he had ever inspected. Captain Beals said that we were the best school that he had inspected thus far, meaning all but Lane and Lakeview. Well, here's hoping for the best, but there really is no need of hoping, for we all know that Schurz is better than all the rest. The parade Friday, May 6, was a huge success, as far as Schurz was concerned, as we made the best showing, although the turnout was small, due possibly, to a mis- understanding as to the meeting place, but we had a battalion of sturdy cadets. Captain McCoy was asked to have the boys give a drill exhibition at Independ- ence Park, May 7. Although the members of the crack company had been in 1n- spection Thursday and on parade Friday, many of them turned out Saturday at 8:15 a. m. and marched over to Independence Park in charge of Majors Scheffer and Rice, Captain Soule and First Lieutenant Darlington. The boys carried rifles and made a fine showing. Many have been asking about an R. 0. T. C. dance, but all we can say at present is that we are planning one for the near future after school and hope for the sup- port of all the students. Much credit is due Captain McCoy, Sergeant Bunch and Sergeant Dinwiddie for their steady perseverance in instructing the boys. 0f course it would be impos- sible to obtain as perfect a Cadet Corps as we have without their unfailing help-. A. R. ,22. THE SCHURZONE 97 The Science Club The Science Club is fully organized and we are now ready to talk about our- selves. Our purpose in organizing is well shown in the summary of activities which follow. The first meeting was devoted to electing officers and appointing a constitution committee. The officers elected were: Wilbert Lindwall ................................. President Julius Lurey .................,............... Vice-President Anna Treadwell .................................. Secretary The constitution committee soon produced a constitution, but several weeks passed before it was finally adopted. Having established a firm foundation, we passed to scientific topics. We had a series of lectures of different persons, topics and lecture being shown in the following table. Topic Speaker Herbariums ...................... ..... li fir. Plapp Bird Types and Migrations ..... .... IV lr. Senseman Plant Relations ................. ..... M r. Plapp Forest Preserves of Cook County ..... .......... lV Ir. Senseman Deep Sea Fishes ............................... W. Lindwall All of the above lectures were illustrated, most of them wit hthe aid of a stereopticon. Another important feature of the club are the field trips of which we have already had three. So far, they have always terminated at Edgebrook. Those attending the trips get valuable experience in identifying wild fiowers, trees and birds. We always have a member of the faculty with us to supplement our knowledge and teach us new things. Mr. Shinn was with us on our first trip and Mr. Senseman on the two succeeding ones. The dues are ten cents a month, payable to Roy Fischer, our financial secretary. All pupils of Carl Schurz, excepting IB freshmen, are eligible to membership. We meet in 119 twice a month, on Monday at 3:30. With the aid of Mr. Senseman, our faculty adviser, we hope to accomplish much. We invite new members. -vl- HOME ADMINISTRATION. The Flat. When stepping into the flat any of the first six periods of the day, you cannot help but notice the real home atmosphere which is so apparent. The right spirit prevails and a great deal of work is accomplished. The class has also keenly en- joyed solving the many problems which arise when furnishing a home. 1. Mr. Slocum once said with great pride, This semester I think I'll decide, To put every lass, In a Home-making class, For which Iill attempt to provide. 2. Now, in furnishing homes up to date, I think I can truthfully state, When put to the test, We'll compare with the best, If we keep our present fast rate. Hilda Synnestvedt, ALA. l Y i 98 THE SCHURZONE Laundry With the help of Mrs. Sabin the three hundred Home Makers have certainly ac- complished a great deal in the laundry. This is the result of one of Mr. Slocum's good ideas for the benefit of the Carl Schurz High School girls, and they ought to thank him and the teachers in charge for the valuable infomiation they have ac- quired through this semester. 1. The laundry is used every day, By girls who wash the right way, The mangle and electric machine, Are not all that complete this scene. 2. There are girls all ready for work, And no one would e'en care to shirk, Mrs. Sabin is here with a smile, To make us do something worth while. Evelyn Larkin, 3A. 3. The Domestic Science class is one of the most important and interesting divi- sions of the Home Administration Department. The girls are attractively clad in white aprons. This division is operated on a systematic basis which has proved ellicient as well as satisfactory. Our enthusiasm prompts this-- H 1. Schurz High, Schurz High, You have a glorious name No school in this great city Can equal you in fame. 2. Vlfhen it comes to Home Administration As cooks we can give you every demonstration That culinary art can ill proclaim If your appetites are strong and steady, You'll always Hnd us apt and ready. Thelma Borguson, 2A. Watch for our coming modistes. In the near future will come an epoch in our sewing life. Some material is waiting to be turned into a charming frock or blouse by the touch of our magic needles. We are well on the way to wealth and fame, having made many of the little fineries that delight a girl. In sewing the girls make useful things, Thimbles the fad now, and not the rings, With thimble in hand and goods on the table The girls sew things as they are able. 1- Ethel Goldner, Norma Erickson, 1A. THE SCHURZONE 99 The Band The band is finishing the semester with great success. We have improved a great deal in ability to play as we march and perform other military movements, all due to the efforts of Capt. Coy and Mr. Mason. At the inspection of our unit of the R. 0. T. C. the band was complimented highly by the inspecting officers. On May 6 the band went downtown to participate in the Boys' Week Parade, but due to the confusion the members were separated before the march began, so most of them had to play with the Lakeview and Senn bands, which organizations con- sidered themselves very much in luck to have these talented musicians marching with them. , On Saturday, May 7, the band, together with our crack companyv paraded on Irving Park Boulevard for the Lion,s Club, and both organizations presented a fine appearance. Some of our old members will bid farewell to the band this June, but that will not exclude them from the organization, for once in The Band, always ready to come back! Although the boys are leaving school and our band for something new and greater in their life's work, they leave behind them this wish: May the Spirit of the Great Band Master hover over and give success to 'Our Band' in the years to come, and may the patient and hard-working leaders, Mr. Condy and Mr. Mason, be well rewarded for their untiring devotion. ' ' D. Y., '21. French Club Between September, 1920, and the present many meetings of the French Club have been held. During the latter part of September the club was reorganized and officers were elected. A constitution was drawn up and adopted, and then our club, being fully organized, and having a membership of seventy-six pup-ils from the various sopho- more, junior and senior French classes, we looked forward with pleasure to future meetings. During the course of the year many kinds of entertainment have been offered. A few groups of charades were presented, stories and riddles were told, games were played, and talks and plays were given. ln October a dialogue was given by Hazel Bowen and Raymond Anderson. At the Christmas meeting our French play, 'les Cuisinieresf, was presented by the girls who were then in Miss Doniat's 3A and 4-B class, and shortly later, the cast, upon invitation, gave the play at the Senn High School. In return some pupils of Senn came to Schurz and showed their dramatic ability in a one-act play entitled f'Rosalie. The success of our play was due, in a large measure, to Miss Doniat, who acted as director and general manager. At one meeting Mildred Williams, Emilie Roberts and Adrienne Hecht, who had been carrying on an interesting French correspondence with pupils in France, who were studying English, read some letters which they had received. The contents of these letters,-which were written partly in English and partly in French, were both interesting and amusing. We greatly appreciated Miss Doniat's talks, one on 4'Parisg the other on Chauteaus of France, and are now looking forward to Miss Graham's talk, in which she will relate some of her experiences in France. At our Easter meeting Monsieur Gros spoke to us on Easter in France. fContinued on page 1011 The Schurz Scholarship Fund. In August, 1918, Mr. Raymond C. Kotz, instructor in Chemistry at the Schurz High School, died of gas gangrene supervening on injuries caused by an automobile accident. This unforeseen and unexpected happening caused great regret among Mr. Kotz, associates in the Schurz faculty because Mr. Kotz had been highly regarded for his many sterling qualities. Mr. Kotz did not consider that his iilial duties ended with his reaching the age of majority but continued the support of his parents until the time of his death. This support was necessary because his mother was an invalid and his father was obliged to take care of her, being thus prevented from earning the livelihood for both. The first attempt of the Schurz faculty to do anything in memory of Mr. Kotz was to try to erase the condition of the parents. Efforts were made to place the mother in a sanitarium. Various charitable institutions were appealed to person- ally and by letter without success. Finally, the senior Mrs. Kotz passed away in July, 1919. This event did not, however, end the efforts of the committee to establish a memorial to their colleague. After due deliberation the committee proposed in a faculty meeting plans for the Schurz Scholarship Fund, founded in memory of Mr. R. C. Kotz. The money for this fund was to be contributed by the faculty and alumni and other institutions in the vicinity of the school. The funds so raised were to be loaned to deserving, self-reliant graduates of the Schurz High School to enable them to continue their education. In June, 1920, the sum of 35150.00 had been contributed. A young lady graduate of the class of 1920 applied for the loan. On investigation it was found that she had spent only two years at the Schurz High Schoolg that her scholarship was low, that she was not self-reliant, and would not exert herself in the matter of gaining-at least in part-her own livelihoodg so the application was denied. In the fall of the same year a young man applied for the loan, and after due consideration, it was granted to him, and he has since made good as shown by the report from the university registrar. Besides the faculty subscription of 1919-20, most of which were paid, the committee received donations from two alumni classes. A few months ago Mr. Shinn, chairman of the committee, wrote letters to various neighborhood organiza- tions, stating our plans and our results thus far. Mr. Shinn's appeal met with gratifying response. The Altrui Club of Jefferson Park sent us one donation and followed this up with a much larger one resulting from an apron sale, the proceeds of which were increased and forwarded to us. The best result, however, was that the Altrui Club was enthused to the determination to support a scholar by their contribution next year. The Irving Park Woman's Club gave us the largest single contribution thus far received. The Sorosis Club also aided us. The alumni classes and their contributions have been mentioned before. It is gratifying to see the alumni get under the burden and is a step in the right direction, as the fund is an alumni institution. We hope to be favored by the alumni in the future. In concluding let me appeal to the alumni, teachers, clubs, and other organi- zations to continue their support of the Schurz Scholarship Fund, becausee 1. It makes for better scholarship and behavior in school, as these factors are taken into consideration in awarding the fund. 2. It does not pauperize the grantee, as he is required to refund the loan at the earliest opportunity possible. fContinued on. page 1011 Exchanges. They Say- After the issue of each new SCHURZONE the staff and the various supporters of our magazine lind themselves confronted with a most uncompromising crop of local Bolsheviks who try to corrupt the school spirit of Carl Schurz by destructive criticism of its splendid institutions. These whiskerless Lenines, however, are as busy telling us how awful the last SCHURZONE was that they fail to advance any constructive criticism that might better it. We have a large exchange list! It consists of over a hundred names, with addresses from Maine to California and from Michigan to Texas. Limited space prevents our printing all of the favorable comments we have received, but a few that have been actually printed in other school periodicals by experienced Exchange Editors, are here given: The Flashlight-Detroit, Michigan: 4'Compliments to the Carl Schurz High School on having such a splendid paper. Devil's Pi-Superior, Wisconsin: You have some nice cover designs and the reading material is well arranged. De Witt Clinton High School-New York: ' Interesting Your Schurzoo is very original. Austin Night Light--Chicago, Illinois: We like your monthly and your semi-annual very much: it looks good, and it also has some features that are noticeably absent in other papers. There is something wholesome in it make-up-your stories are good, also your Komic Kalendar. You also have given considerable thought to the serious side. fContinued from. page 100l 3. It gives to those who see no hope of further education than the high school by their own immediate resources, an opportunity to continue their advance- ment in study. 4. It makes us all feel that we have left the world a little better by our sympathetic effort in lightening some one's burden and establishing him on a higher plane in life. In the name of the committee, F. W. PLAPP, Secretary-Treasurer of the Schulz Scholarship F und. fC'ontfinuea' from page 995 A competitive reading contest was held recently between selected pupils of the second, third and fourth year French classes, and a prize was awarded to the winner from each year. Also, we have not been utterly without music, for among us we have some talented members. Wilbur lmbs rendered some violin selections, Bernice Cohen and Adrienne Hecht played the piano, and Miss Beulah Sheldon, a former pupil, sang some French songs. So you see that the French Club has not been idle during the year, and that every entertainment meant effort and work on the part of someone. A picnic, to be held on our last meeting day, is to close the successful uyearf, September, 1920-June, 1921, of the French Club. M. G.

Everyone is putting iinishing touches on his motor, galvano- meters, static-machines, and electric toasters. Some one may get the surprise of his life if his motor or toaster works. Business has been flourishing in the Magnetic Fieldi' profession. Anyone that desires to buy some property in that line, please see Miller for particulars. This property is especially valuable for raising ohms Hunting is fairly good this year, as Bervey captured one hundred and ten volts on the drill press.

Plane with the brain, the grain and the plane, is the slogan. The pattern work for the semester has been completed. Many patterns have been made, some for use in the electric, auto and machine shops. Among other things is a set of patterns for a large standard, which is to be erected and used to display the various type of motors to the students of the auto shop. Lizzie has not been neglected, either. A special pattern had to be made for Ford motors. Then, too, patterns have been made for a new type drawing table. The boys are also busy making table lamps. L. T. T. THE SCHURZONE 103 Progress Yesterday. In 184-9 iive sturdy men with six yoke of oxen and three Prairie schoonersn were making their arduous way from Illinois to California. They entered the great desert of the Southwest-that land of burning heat, of thirst, of despair and of death. The weary miles were clearly marked by the bones of other men who had dared the fierce elemnts of the wildernss. But nothing could daunt the spirit of these pioneers. Day after day, for weeks and months they pushed on, over trackless wastes and mountain barriers, among savage beasts and till more savage men, till at last they reached the goal of their visions-the gold fields. Today. The swift moving express trains carry thousands in luxurious comfort, requiring but a few days for the journey now safe and certain of accomplishment. We all admire the splendid courage of those sturdy Forty-niners. We follow them eagerly thru their trials and their Indian fights, but no sane person would use their method of travel Qexcept as a vacationj today. We have adopted the ex- press train instead, not merely because it is an easier way, but, primarily, because it is a better way. So it is in every phase of life. In Medicine, in Banking, in our schools and in our homes we are constantly discarding the methods and devices of the past to install in their stead the newer and better ways of today. p In 184.9 the pioneer had no need of business training, but in 1921, because of better methods of doing business, the busines man or woman needs special training. Specialized training for business is offered to you free of charge by the Board of Education thru the School of Commerce and Administration, a junior college fully accredited at the universities.

Twelve of these passed the acid test. During the first month the coach had the candidates swinging dumbells. Outside practice started early in the spring, as the weather was ideal for baseball. The first game against Oak Park was played early in March. This game we lost, but the latter helped us get our bearings and the result of the lecture that followed showed in the next game against Desplaines, which we won by a score of 14- to 44. This was followed by a string of victories in practice games against such teams as Marshall and Austin, and others. Surak, in center field, was the class of the league both in hitting and fielding. H. Bauer and Helsing formed a combination around second base that was hard to beat. Helsing also was a good lead-off man, getting many bases on balls and also being a good base runner. Baur was our clean-up man until he was hurt. Kovats played first base, fielding that sack in good style and having a home run to his credit. Tobin, at third, played a good brand of ball and had a wonderful good throw to first base. Lundgoot and Hanson were the other outfielders, the whole outfield making only one error thruout the whole season. Kostka, our captain, was a good receiver, above the average high school catcher, with a good arm and a good batting eye. ' One the whole, Schurz had a very successful season on the diamond, winning a much greater number of games than they lost. They were wonderfully well backed by the school and Coach Joyce had them fighting to the last minute. N. F., Mgr. Scharz vs. Marshall - Marshall visited Schurz to play a practice game and left with the tail end of a 7 to 0 score. Czeslawski and Bissell allowed Marshall but one hit, while Schurz picked on the offerings of Klayball. R. H. E.

Austin Schurz defeated Austin in a practice game at Pyott Field, 3 to 1. The batting was rather weak, because of the wet condition of the field and the balls. W.

The game was rather unin- teresting, for the bases on balls given and errors made by Tuley made it a farce. R. H. E.

Custer of Senn held Schurz to four hits, but these, hunched with walks, earned Schurz three runs-enough to win the contest, as Bissell pitched a masterly game for Schurz. Score: R. H. E.

Schurz vs. Lakeview Schurz won its third straight league game against Lakeview at the Logan Square Baseball Park, 4 to 1. Holohan was a puzzle to the Schurz batters until the fifth, when a walk by Helsing and hits by Kovats, Surak, H. Baur and Kostka scored four runs, enough to win the game.

THE SCHURZONE 107 Schurz vs. Lane After Schurz had overcome a lead of two runs and taken the lead in the last inning on a single by Kostka with two on and Surakis double, Lane rallied in their own half and won, 6 to 5. The game was held at the Logan Square Ball Park. The breaks certainly were not with the Schurz boys and the few misplays they made were costly. In the third inning Lane scored three runs, at least one of these was not deserved, for two of them were seemingly cut off by the throws to the plate. The umpire at the plate, however, ruled the decisions against us. Ryrholm, the Lane pitcher, was hit hard enough to win this game, but failure to hit in the pinches, and few errors by Lane, kept the Schurz score low. R. H. E.

Schurz gathered thirteen hits, many of them extra-base wallops, among them a homer by Kovats with two on, and a triple by Surak, with the bags loaded. Czeslawski held the Tuley batters safe all the way. Schurz won the next game from Senn on the latter's diamond, 8 to 2. Though a bit wild, Bissell kept Sennis score low thru good pitching in the pinches and good support. Custer's pitching was solved in the fifth and Porter pitched the rest of the game for Senn. I R.

Schurz vs. Lakeview The Lakeview team fell down before the onslaught of the Schurz nine at De Paul field, 9 to 3. Carstenis shoots were knocked for a total of live runs, while Holohan suvered a similar fate, four runs being batted in off his delivery. Bissell wabbled a little under the hot sun, but was strong in the pinches. Schurz vs. Lane In a game that decided the championship of the northern section, Lane trampled over the Schurz nine by the decisive score of 9 to 2. The main causes of this defeat were the wildness of the Schurz pitchers and the lack of punch on the part of the rest of the team. Walsh, of Lane, held Schurz to four hits, walked tw0,. and hit two, while W. Baur of Schurz walked seven and hit two. Bissell also was hit hard. R. H. E.

The golf team is well on its way towards putting Schurz on the map in golf as well as other sports. About twenty-five candidates responded to the call, but half of these were ineligible. Some of the most promising players are: Spiegel, Kings- ley, Peterson, Anderson, Weller, Roberg, Stoller, and Soule. Knudtzon was elected manager. The captain has not beenielected. The team will be composed of the four who have the lowest average of three scoresg the next four will be taken as substitutes. We held our first of three tryouts at Edgebrook, May 27th. The next two tryouts will be held Friday, June 3rd, at Jackson Park. The first at 8:00 A. M. The second at 11:00 A. M. Mr. Garasha is our faculty adviser. The tournament will take place at Jackson Park, June 11th, at 8:00 A. M., and will be for medal play-18 holes. K. K. . TRACK. In the annual Chicago track meet for all Chicago high schools, held at River- view Park, Schurz came in fourth with only two men qualified in the senior division. Those two talented performers of the oval are Matthew Fetriclge and S. Slutzkin. These men were the backbone of the senior track team, with a few others included, but will no longer perform under colors of the blue and gold! Fetridge took the honors in the 44-0 yard dash in :56, the wind preventing fast time and a possible broken record. Slutzkin, in the senior shot put, did break the record with a put of 44 feet and 756 inches. In the junior events we came in fifth. Kruse,our little dash man and hurdler, finished second in the 120 yard low hurdles. In the shot put came a big surprise. Our men were putting record breaking puts in practice, only to get beat in the meet by a Crane mang still they came in second and third, Barbee finishing ahead of Faber. Jones, the only other man from Schurz that was entered, failed to place, because of the many stars in his events. As Fetridge and Slutzkin are graduating, we need more men who are talented -so all ye Schurz 1ne11 who have any talent, whatsoever it may be, try your luck- for Schurz. ' The International track meet was held on May 18th at Independence Park. It was the first of its kind at Schurz. We hope that it will be followed by a long series of these track meets. MAsco'r. BASKETBALL. An S was given to each of the following members of the heavyweight basket- ball team: Helsing Kipp Shapiro Soot Kreibick Surak, Capt. G. Hanson I-Ioffmaster, Mgr. E. Kostka As all of these players, except Hanson and Surak will be here next winter, Schurz will have a strong, well-developed contender for the city title. The lightweights who received letters are: - Myalski, Capt. Grund .l. Hanson I. Petrolowitz Tonping R. Peterson Boller Weinsch Schnadt Wygas Tibbits McRae, Mgr. I .Q I qt -ai up I if J Baseball May 16--Freshies vs. Sophs. First game of the season-lots of excitement, not many rootersl Freshies lead lmtil the fifth inning when some one became excited and sent a ball six feet above the 2nd baseman's head and let three sophs come in which so completely upset them that they simply couldnlt get on their feet again, and they lost 13-8. May 17-Freshies vs. Juniors-Florence Mowrer, a Junior, pitched a whiz of a game and only walked one meek and shy little freshie fGladys Dodgej whom she took compassion upon. The Juniors by long years of experience have acquired the art of winning-and the final score was 19-6, their favor. May 18-Sophs vs. Seniors-Quite an exciting game because Mae Alborn would insist on swatting Mabel Rugen's balls and Ollie Reed made two home runs, due, of course, to her superior knowledge in the art of sliding. The Seniors reluctantly carried the day and won 13-5. May 19-Sophs vs. Juniors--They matched up pretty well in this game and Elaine Welsh gave the grandstand several thrills when she caught two of Evelyn Riecheis beautiful flies. Lillian Anderson pitching for the Sophs distinguished herself when she fanned out her fifth man. The Juniors let the Sophs stay in the lead until the ninth inning when they made seven runs. The final score was 15-10 Juniors' favor. May 23--Freshies vs. Seniors. You canit beat our freshies for pluck! The Seniors simply swamped 'em but pep, courage, and smiles simply stuck out all over them, thru the whole game, and Gladys Dodge, their Captain, did a great deal to uphold this wonderful spirit by simply living in the game and never letting her interest fag for a moment, even when she saw her opponents, score steadily rising until it rose to 32, while theirs was 4. May 244-Juniors vs. Seniors. This was our championship game. Both teams were keyed up to the highest pitch, and simply whiz-banged into the game heart and soul. Zella Moore, catcher for the Juniors, brought in a. run every time she was up to bat, making one homer. Alice Drews, the Senior Manager, is an A1 short stop and didnlt let a thing go past her. Mabel Rugen fanned out three play- ers and diclnlt walk one. The final score was 9-7 Seniors, favor. The Captains and Managers of the teams are as follows: Freshmen-Capt. Gladys Dodge Juniors-Capt. Florence Mowrer Manager-Kathryn Berry Manager-Harriett Koglin Sophomores-Capt. Evelyn Riesche . Seniors-Capt. Hilda Synnestvedt Manager-Mae Alhorn Manager-Alice Drews ' We cannot let the class of '21 graduate without showing our appreciation to the gym bunch for all .they have .done for the school .in the way of athletics. There isn't any sport in which some of them have not featured,.and there are sev- eral of them who have done double and triple duty- 110 THQE SCHURZONE Now, track is good for anyone, lt gives you lots of steam, While baseball rouses your arnbish, When trying to make the team And dancing's good for graceful folks To make 'em look like fairies, But swimming is the stuff, I think, That really takes the berries. All this semester there has been keen competition in the swimming classes. This not only adds a. little spice to the lessons but also it encourages a desire for self improvement. The captains of the teams are as follows: I period .................. Astrid Jakobsen--Evelyn Miller II period ..... . . . ..... Clara Hansen-Beatrice Aldrich III period ..... .... H ildur Rise-Temperance Tucker VI period ..... ............. A dvanced Swimming Class V period ..... ......... D orothy Gloppen-Helen Mearns VI period ..... ..... H elen Beaugureau-Ethna Mac Mahon VII period ..... ........... A da Bass-Hilda Synnestvedt VIII period ............... Temperance Tucker-Florence Tuft Unfortunately the material for this annual has to be in before our most im- portant events take place, and so the following is merely a statement of the future events and their probable outcomes. June 2-Our annual swimming meet came oli' in great style. There has never been as many events or as much pep and enthusiasm over any meet before and the points ran very close between the Juniors and Seniors, the Seniors finally coming out on top. Sybil Bauer as usual made herself prominent by her beautiful back stroke, and in the 100 yd. free style she was nearly a tank ahead of her opponents and calmly watched them end up. Algina Ortlepp, who is of a very excitable nature, was so wrought up concerning the Juniors that when cheering Elna Mygdal on in the breast stroke she fell in to meet her, which naturally rather amused the crowd, and added a little spice to the meet. Dancing You say you can't dance, but why? Take a chance and come out and try. Don't say you're too dumb And awkward, but come, For you haven't a good alibi. You know what the dancing girls do, So pray, why not change your view, And really come out, And I think there's no doubt You'd be Pavlowa member, too.

Hilda S. - Did you ever look in, as you passed the gym, And hear lots of noise, wondered what the cause, Saw a girl with pep in every step, Swing a hockey stick with the spirit of lick, Out of all the bunch had most the punch, Swim a blindfold race and set the pace, Play a basketball game, make the rest look tame, As a captain in baseball make other teams fall, Play on all these teams with that wonderful steam, Now you've surely guessed, pick her out from the rest, It's not such a riddle, it's Hilda. lWritten by R.

A gasp of astonishment went up as P. C. 22 pushed his way forward, demanding to be sworn in as a witness for the defense. Mr, Judge, he began rather nervously. Your Worship, I was just thinking over the case, an' a few things presented 'emselves to me, so to speak. First, look at that wrench. Have you noticed where the blood is? On the handle! Now, is it natural that any man would hold a wrench by the head? Now, here's another thingf' he said, warming to his subject, look at the prisoner! All turned and looked at the poor cringing fellow in the dock, who sat staring wide-eyed at P. C. 22. Has that man the strength to 'andle a wrench like that so as to knock in poor Mr. Foster's head at one blow? The women shuddered, remembering only too well the awful sight of the chemist's battered face. And again, gen'lemen-you 'ave examined the accused. 'Ave you noticed any signs of blood on 'im? You 'ave not! Is it not true that such a blow would cover the striker with blood? ' 4'And lastly, listen to this: He whipped the week-old paper from his pocket and read: 'gYesterday night one of the air raids that are now occurring so frequently, was directed against London. About eight Zeppelins came over the Channel, and followed the Horsforth-Hampstead line to London. Misled by the fog, however, they did little damagef' You see the connection, gen'lemen? One of the airships, while passing over us, accidentally dropped the wrench and the head being lighter, was uppermost. The handle hit the unfort'nit man on the 'ead, and this poor tramp has no more to do with it than I 'ave!,' And P. C. 22 sat down amidst profound silence. The rest was plain sailing. The judge summoned up, shortly, and the jury retired, to return in a half hour with the verdict of not guilty! P. C. 22 was the hero of the day. His ruddy face veritably beamed, and on the offer of a sergeantship from one of the London men, it radiated, if that were possible still more cheerfully. Only one point trouble him. At home, he dragged down his one book, a huge encyclopedia and dictionary. He looked up the list of abbreviations, and then satisfied, he attacked his supper of beef and onions. The abbreviation UD.

Keepers of the Zoo--Ser- gins Slutzkin and Alice Drews. No chronicles will be ac- cepted unless written with honey on onion paper. This provision was made because, as the contributions are bit- ter, some sweetness is neces- sary. Denatured writing fluid may be obtained from Wilma Bulow. Notice: Some day, ask her just casually where she gets her abundant supply. Maybe she 'll blush, and may- be she won't-if the one, she's guilty, if the other- that girl is shameless. The Zoo annual is issued every .Iune for the purpose of recording the many activi- ties of the annuals before the great even of uncaging on June 24. The Zoo holds some two thousand including baby animals as well as the long recognized and feared kings and queens of the me- nagerie-now old and feeble, who have and will to the end if their time hold sway with great power over all. Some one-hundred and fif- ty are to be unbarred in a few weeks. It will he a grand occasion. There will be a great flocking together of outsiders to see and hear and to shake paws with the departing. It has been said that these one hundred and fifty ought to be packed off to the East Indies, for they are still wild, lack poise, and Sons of Rest. Alas, friends, the time has come when the Seniors of our superb organization must, some of them, be cast into the crol woild. For most of us, this is a time of joy. Spring is in the air, our hearts and heads are light, the society takes care of our school work, and all we do is bask in the sun, admire the scenery, and rejoice that we cannot fail to fail in June. But, my friends, consider! Think of those poor souls, who, by dint of earnest and sincere effort have earned the approbation of us, the undersigned, who hereto af- fix our signatures. Think of those poor souls, who, despite their efforts during their four- andthensome years at Schurz, have been advanced, and ad- vanced, until they are ready to be cast out of our noble institution. Can we fail to sympathize with them? Can our hearts be so hard as not to be touched with pity? No! -a million times-No! Sen- iors, we extend to you our hearty sympathy. May you be blessed with luck on your journey through life. YOU WILL NEED IT. With these words, we bid ye farewell. Father: That young call- er comes here too often-I want it stopped. Daughter: I'm sure, father, I do all I can to dis- courage his visits.' Father: Nonsense! I haven't heard you sing for him once. SCHURZO0 CLASS PROPHECY '21 1. Darkness settled upon the face of the earth and all was still. 2. And lo! the light broke, and out of the land of Ignor- ance came the children of '21, and they gathered about the throne of the great Prophet Wolinsky, wisest of all men, descended from Sol- oman's rod. 3. And he spake thus: Bow down thy hairs to the dust and kiss my sandaled feet. Rise then to receive blessing or damnation, even as ye have brought it upon yourselves under Most High- ness, Misem Elmeyer. 4-. Ar Therdoug Lass, be- cause Heaven has been gen- erous to thee in the bestowal of thy long legs and manly frame, thou shalt henceforth be chimney-sweep. 5. Unyce Elem, because of thy frail constitution, get thee hence into a sanitarium. Thy diet shall be sweeter than honey and the honey- comb. 6. And he spake unto Ma Belru Gen: Go and teach all nations penmanship, but tarry thou in the land of China, for of the Chinese scrawl art thou master. 7. And she answered and spake: Praise be unto thee, for thou art merciful and good. 8. Then the Prophet Wo- linsky called in a loud voice, Petrolowitz, Petrolowitz, where art thou? Fear not, for Hel Enwitbold is with thee.' Petrolowitz, come forth. H4 THESCHURZONE in their manner act as though they had not yet dropped from them the characteristics displayed in that region. Is that their birth place? What is their origin? We know not, but in such manner are the judged. Yet they fear death and so have appointed the two clev- erest little lmonkeys among them. Helen Callsen and Robert Kane, to pen their last will and testament. They wish above all not to be cast outside the city limits. War!

Miss Beaton: Are there any important social events occurring after the 26th of May? Brilliance: Yes 1na'am, final examinations.

And Petrolowitz came forth, and bowed down his hairs to the dust and kissed the sandaled feet of the Prophet, and cried, Have mercy upon me and forgive me my boldness. 10. And the Prophet said, Because thou art neither slow of speech nor of tongue, gird up thy loins and make ready to advertise-Black Cat Hosiery for Women. 11. Thereat in the agony and sweat of despair, the con- demned groaned, My punish- ment is greater than I can endure. 12. Now lo! a great cry pierced the air, whereat the great Prophet cast his royal scepter from him. , 13. And darkness settled upon the face of the earth and all was still. ln Silence and in Certainty, Finals, Hnals, everywhere: With drops and drops of ink, But never a prof. who'll leave the room And allow a man to think.
