' THE TRIANGLE ELIZABETH ALLEN Miss Allen first saw the light in Lafayette, Indiana, on October 24, 1900. She moved to Indianapolis in 1903 and entered the Franklin school. From there she moved to Detroit and entered the Fairbanks school, graduating in 1916. Miss Allen then enrolled at Cass, but she was spared many of the humiliations of the ordinary freshie by her previous acquaintance with the building and most of the teachers. During her course she has ceased to be an oddity as one of the few girls here. In fact, the boys have become accustomed to seeing her angelic face shining out of the corner of a classroom. Miss Allen is now going to Northwestern High school for the last lap of her high school education. She is then going to the M. A. C. to take up a course in Home Economics. WALTER NEIL ASH Walter was born in Columbus, Ohio, in the year 1901, lived for fifteen years in Columbus, then moved to Detroit, graduating from the Dwyer school in June, 1916. He entered Cass in the following September. Walter was on the honor roll everytime in his freshman year, but he did not want to make everybody jealous, so he quit going on the roll. He has always been a live wire in school activi- ties and now in his graduating term he is vice-president of the Glee Club and a member of the Affiliated High School Club. Ash played football for a while, but had to give it up, due to outside work. After graduation he is coming back to Cass and will take up post-graduate work. FREDERICK M. BARBAS Fred was born in the sunny seaport town of Odessa, Rus- sia, on the 25th day of April, 1902. He moved from Rus- sia, landed at Ellis Island on the 24th day of April, 1903. and came to Detroit. At the age of six he entered the Bishop school, and after going to the Roberts, he graduated from the Bishop in June, 1916. Barbas is now treasurer of the House of Representatives. He also played guard on the Junior basketball team. He has been a strong rooter for all athletic doings of any kind. This term he is athletic editor for the TRIANGLE, a position which he has carried out very faithfully. After graduation it is his inten- tion to work until fall, when he is going to the U. of M. Fred is not definitely decided as to whether he will enroll in the Mechanical or Architectural department at the Uni- versity. JOHN BENNETT John was born in Detroit on the last day of the year 1903. He has lived all his life in Detroit and consequently is able to Gnd his way about the city fairly well. He started grammar school when five years old at the Wingert school, graduated from there in June, 1916, and entered Cass in the following September. During his stay here he has gained a good deal of well-deserved fame in lending money to Walter Ash. John could not take an active part in school activities because of his working after school. After he graduates from Cass, Bennett thinks he will go to the University of Michigan and take up Civil Engineer- ing, though he may stay at Cass another term for post- graduate work. THE TRIANGLE ALBERT BLOOM Albert was born somewhere in Russia on February 9 1902. At three years of age he came to the United States, and did not hesitate but came direct to Detroit. He en- tered the Bishop school at the age of six. Bloom was un- fortunate in being kept out of school for nearly three years because of illness, but he returned and went successively to the Capron, Lincoln, George, Garfield, Northeastern and then the Franklin school, from which he graduated in June, 1916. After graduation he went to Central for three months and then to Northeastern to Hnish the term. The next term he came to Cass and is now ready to graduate. After graduation he intends to go to the University of Michigan, take up Electrical Engineering, and become one of the country's great electricians. JANINA BRONISZEWSKA Miss Broniszewska was born December 27, 1898, in the city of Kiev in Russia, of Polish ancestry. From Kiev she moved to myriads of cities and then went to Ham- burg and sailed for Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 1903. From there she moved to Buenos Aires, Argentine, and from there to the United States. She lived in New York for a short while, then moved to Detroit. This is some traveling, we'll say. In Detroit she entered the Campau school and after graduating she entered the Northeastern High school, where she spent two years. Finding she would be unable to pursue her studies there any longer she transferred to Cass, where she is taking a pharmaceutical course. After graduation she will continue to linger among the boys studying pharmacy and Zoology. bacteriology, physiology and microscopic work. ROBERT MILLS CHAPPELL Chappell was born i11 Ann Arbor, August 26, 1900, and soon came to Detroit. At an early age he began his school- ing in Cass Union school, where Mr. Comfort was principal. His education was secured in numerous Detroit schools and at last he graduated from the John Owen. Five years of service in a Detroit choir furnished substance for those famous words, Let's sing. He entered Cass in January, 1915, as a science student. In 1917 a11d 1918 he won R's for football, was a member of Boys' Working Reserve, for two terms a member of the Glee Club, and a past member of the Cass Tech Club.

He then entered the Cass Technical High School and soon showed all the teachers how bright a boy could be. Dorb shines in his subjects but he does nothing and cares nothing for any athletic sport. After graduation he intends to go directly to the University of Michigan and take up Electrical Engineering, for which he has taken practical preparatory work in the form of a course in Electrical Construction. THE TRIANGLE HENRY ELLIOTT He11ry was born in Detroit on the 26th day of July, 1902. He has lived in Detroit all his life and is able to tell strangers where nearly one-tenth of the streets are located, which is doing nobly. As soon as he was able Hen started at the Cary school and continued there till he graduated in January, 1916. He then came to Cass and is now going to graduate. He was an active member of the Boys' Working Reserve and is now very busy with his duties as editor-in-chief of the TRJANGLE. After graduation Henry is going to work, and also to night school.

We all wish Joseph the best of luck, because he has served the graduating class in the very best way possible. THE TRIANGLE AROL GREEN Arol was born in Galt, Ontario, on the 23rd day of Janu- ary in the year of 1903.

He was an ardent admirer of Jess Willard, but now he struts around under the nick name of Jack Dempsy. James expects to go to work after graduating. THE. TRIANGLE RAYMOND W. VOIGT The name above this paragraph will remind many peo- ple of a luxury of long ago. But to get down to business, this picture is an exact reproduction of the features of Raymond W. Voigt, a very industrious student at Cass. His Hrst squeal was stifled in Detroit, June 26, 1901. After dabbling in the Lillibridge and Ives grammar schools for four years, the happy thought that he might become a second Thomas A. Edison struck him, and he decided that, as Cass was the best school to learn in, he would come here. His mind is bent in the direction of chemical engi- neering, but if he doesn't stop playing with high explosives in chemistry .his mind will be bent the other way. Ray- mond intends to take a course of Chemical Engineering at the U. of M. BENJAMIN D. WAECHTER Benjamin D. Waechter was precipitated upon this noble planet of 'ours in the vicinity of Detroit proper on December 17, 1902. At the age of six he became so troublesome around the house that his folks were forced to send him to Estabrook school. He took quite a liking to that school and stayed there four years. During his fourth year, he began telling the teachers a few things, and, consequently, was graduated. He had heard so much about our lunch room that he decided to come here to school. When you talk to him about his first year at Cass he askes you if you remember the time when dogs were three cents per. But now, after taking all that Cass can give him, he wants to bother the U. of D. for a few years. He expects to work during the summer and enter the University in the fall. NATHAN WEINGARDEN Nate was born in the town of Antonioka, Russia. When at the age of eight he realized the need of modern educa- tion in world affairs, and as the Czar did not want to es- tablish a school in Antonioka, he decided to leave for America, where schools are plentiful. He inevitably ar- rived in Detroit, and attended an assortment of schools and graduated from the Washington in June, 1916. He entered Cass in the following September. VVhile Wein- garden has not joined any athletic doings, he has followed them faithfully and is at present a member of the House of Representatives. He is an editor of the Joke department of the TRIANGLE. After graduating he- will take up Civil Engineering at the U. of M. CLEMENT WOLF Clement Wolf was born in Beautiful Ohio. The peace- ful little town of Warren was suddenly disturbed on the 15th of January in 1902, when he made known his arrival. Warren was honored with his presence till 1908, when he thought he would come to Detroit and compete with Henry Ford, but after arriving in Detroit he changed his mind and decided he needed an education first. Clement finally persuaded the faculty of the Thomas school to let him enter. One year was enough so he returned to Warren, where he managed to crawl thru the other seven years of his grammar schooling. After completing the eighth grade he didn't think the Warren High School was high enough so in January, 1916, he came to Detroit and entered Cass. For the last two years he has been debating what he should do after graduating but hasn't decided yet. THE TRIANGLE 19 THE PRESIDENT'S SPEECH BY HARRY F. ROBERTS, President Senior Class. Ladies and Gentlemen, Members of the Faculty, and Fellow Classmclltes: We came, we saw, and we conquered is a most auspicious way to begin my speech. Our heads are bloody but unbowed, for we, the forty students sitting below, have just emerged victoriously from a conflict which rivals in flerceness the recent World's War. We en- tered the confiict early in 1916 about five hundred strong, and of that number only forty have survived. The rest were either forced to give way through inability to keep the pace or through other troubles. The former reason was in the majority, although none of those who were dropped will admit it. The pace set was exceedingly hard and only those who worked, and worked with all their might and main, have survived. Because of the stren- uousness of the subjects, only a small percen- tage of the ones who enter finish. This is why the graduates are sought by the prominent business men of the city. I will attempt to narrate some of the trials we were forced to undergo before we were allowed the sacred privilege of graduating from Cass. The faculty planned an attack that Hindenburg, Foch or even Pershing would have found hard to resist. The first year we, a motley crowd of green freshi-es, just out of grammar school, were bombarded with mathe- matics, English, pattern shop practice, drawing and geography. Any two of these subjects would have been suflicient to drive one crazy, but imagine five. We were put in a shop and told to use the band saw, an instrument that is dangerous even to an experienced mechanic. It did not take us long to learn its mysteries, but it wasn't until some one tried to saw some nails, and another tried to saw his fingers, that we learned its dangers. But we rolled merrily through the first year, learning how little we knew. Then came the second year and things began to grow harder. The faculty brought their larger guns into play and forced many more out of the conflict. We were given geometry, chemistry, drawing, forging and English. Most of us, not used to any hard manual labor, were forced to take off our shirts and pound the life out of a red hot iron until we were wring- ing wet. That was forging. We were put in a chemistry laboratory and made to master that demon. Many of us were burned and spoiled our suits and shoes, until our parents asked themselves if it wouldn't be cheaper to send us to school in-coats of armor. But these sub- jects were pie compared to geometry. This subject was the poison gas, machine guns, aeroplanes and U-boats of our Faculty, who slaughtered us right and left. After one year's battle with geometry we lost half our original number, but those of us who survived had the satisfaction of going into the third year. The third year came along and the faculty had used most of their most powerful weapons, and so we were used to them. They started out with chemistry, more geometry, English, machine shop practice and ended with physics and drawing added to the attack. Physics was the only bad one, and most of us had a hard tussle with it. But in our third year we began to enjoy our school work and engage in its activities. The year was far too short and before we realized it we were emerging into our last year. Then we were assailed by all the weapons our faculty could muster. In their frantic de- sire to disable us they launched trigonometry, solid geometry, history, physics and English. Naturally we had a hard time this year, but we were used to working, so we overcame all these with the exception of physics. Here they attempted to tell us that boiling water was a cooling process and that when water is turned to ice it gets warmer. Here we fought tooth and nail with every theory that seemed groundless, and here we lost some of our veterans. Before we realized what had hap- pened we were formed in a class and told to organize and get ready for graduation. Then we began to regret leaving that institution which for four years has been our home. As we stand on the threshold of the world, we feel the pang of leaving our faculty, who have transformed us from green freshies into men, actually ready to assume the responsi- bility of our own well-being. We feel as though we are leaving behind our best friends, our protectors. And in behalf of the grad- uating class of 1920, I wish to thank all the members of the faculty for what they have done. Words cannot express our gratitude. As we emerge into the world, we will be confronted by three vital factors, which will control our destinies. Our conditions of living will be measured by the way we meet these. The question of a job is the first factor-to the individual perhaps the most important, the duties of a citizen is the next-this is the most important to the community and almost as 20 THE TRIANGLE important as the first factor, then last, but not least, is the individual's mastery of himself. The job chosen should be one into which our natural ability fits perfectly. Because in so choosing, we can do our work with double the energy, double the spirit, and double the re- turn to our fellow-workers. The job chosen should pay a living wage, for if the wages received are not, our fellow-workers will suffer, and this will cause a discontent. A well-known New York banker was recently quoted as saying, All men who have the right to vote and do not exercise that right, should be cast into prison. 'lhis sentiment is abso- lutely in accord with our principles of Amer- icanism. Any man who shirks his military duty in times of war is cast into prisong then why shouldn't the man who shirks his peace duty pay a similar penalty? The lack of in- tense patriotism, and intense Americanism, is responsible for the turbulent times that we are passing through. Corrupt men are con- tinually being elected to hold public offices, because a large number of the citizens do not vote. An example of this is the celebrated Vic- tor Berger case. An enemy of his country, both in time of war and peace, he has been elected to the House of Representatives five times, in defiance of the efforts of the Govern- ment to oust him. The question is, who elected him? I know, you know, and the whole coun- try knows, but if the loyal citizens of Mil- waukee do not wake up and vote, we are powerless to act against those who elected him. We, the graduates, will endeavor to combat these evils. We will vote on voting days. We will fight for clean politics. We will be zeal- ous in our patriotism. A good example of tenacity is seen in the Socialist Darty. The Socialist party is composed of about one hun- dred and thirteen thousand members, and the United States about one hundred and ten mil- lion people. That leaves about one hundred and nine million, eight hundred thousand peo- ple who are not Socialists. But why is the Socialist party so strong and so feared at elections, and so much talked about? Why do politicians hesitate to alienate their votes? The answer is, their tenacity to do things make them feared. If every American citizen were a Theodore Roosevelt, we should be an ideal Americanized nation. The old saying is that if a man is true to himself, he will be true to his family and to his country. Every man should try to master himself and not until after he succeeds in doing this should he try to lead others. Until a man knows himself, it is useless to try to know others. Conceit is the worst enemy of success. To overcome conceit, put down what you think you are, subtract what you really are, and the remainder will be the cause of all your troubles. President Wilson's advice, Live by enthusiasm, don't be driven by neces- sity, and if you fail make failure a stepping stone, is perhaps the best way to gain the mastery of one's self. As the largest class to graduate from Cass, and the first one to leave the new building, we will take advantage of the four years prepara- tion given to us, to prove ourselves worthy of the school which we will always be proud to claim as our Alma Mater.

TRIANGLE 21 CLASS HISTORY By Pinto J. HOLZHQXUER, Historian. Y HE purpose of this class history is to 5 QE' demonstrate the possibilities encour- -. aged when attendingagood Technical 5 C- school and to show the average Amer-.can parent the sound reasoning ability of a technically trained graduate. It has been found by the statistics of this class that tech- nical education tends towards a profitable future for both the individual and the masses. Between the years of 1898 and 1903 there came upon this universe a collection of bab- bling babes -which, had they not been so very far apart and instead been in one immediate locality, would have undeniably swung this earth from its axis, overcome its momentum and knocked the green cheese out of the man in the moon, due to their natural tendency toward the higher sciences and engineering branches. A remarkable class is this, for less than one-half of the graduates were born in Detroit, showing their good sense early in life by coming to the city where life is worth liv- ing, to attend the best high school in the country. The early life of the average student was spent in enjoying the easy, care-free life of the average primary pupil and grammar grade stripling. This class being above the average in brilliancy, unpromoted grammarians were a rarity. Nearly all of the students after graduating from grammar school thought they had the world at arm's length and declared their in- dependence, in regard to staying out after nine o'clock at night, the spending of their allow- ance and the right to have and treat to shows and sodas a girl friend, while the young ladies of this class were undoubtedly treated similarly by other fellows. But soon the average student found that a declaration of independence did not necessarily bring about independence, and that a war usually ensued in which either the oppressed or the oppressor were bound to win. This war was fought through reports cards as a medium, and many a student found out to his sorrow that a person could not attend school in the daytime, go to sports in the afternoon, have a good time dancing at night, and still maintain a scholarly report card. In this war for in- dependence, which lasted usually for the entire four years, the oppressed were occasionally victorious, but more often they were still held under the necessary parental interference and protection. But, as we all hope soon to be free of report cards, we will undoubtedly soon be allowed more freedom. Of the graduates in this class of January, 1920, three were born in Canada, one in Con- necticut, only fifteen in Detroit, one in Florida, one in Indiana, two in Illinois, nineteen in the state of Michigan as a whole, one in New York, three in the Buckeye state, one in Poland, one in Pennsylvania and seven in Russia. As to their future occupations, after college and without, the aspirations of these various individuals run all the way from divorce law- yers to politicians, while the majority intend becoming engineers and scientists, although several expect to study medicine and dentistry, while one exceptionally brilliant graduate has been unable to decide whether he will study construction engineering, go to college or grace the payroll of the thriving metropolis of De- troit as a capable and efficient dog-catcher. And also in this graduating class we find one indi- vidual who has ambitions to become a cartoon- ist, while another intends becoming an artist. In concluding, we glance backward and see various, almost inevitable, failures which we have successfully surmounted. In the present we are still striving, and in the future, by the determination to succeed we will succeed. We thank you. ,, CLASSIFIED SECTION WANT ADS WANTED: Someone who knows American, English, French, Spanish and Roman History, politics and political machines, French life and war, to ask Mr. Clark questions in His- tory VII.

SCHIMMEL, Class Prophet. Qi T WAS the 29th of January, 1945, and because of its 'significance I decided to hunt up the old Cassites of the 't' 'T January, '20, class. My first thought or course was of our President and Orator, Harry Roberts. You will, of course, be inter- ested in knowing that he is the president and controller of the Roberts Theatrical Interests. My mind made up, I went to the radiophone tinvented by the well known Clement W. Wolf, who has gained international fame by his won- derful developments in radioj and by a patent method factual working withheld by the cen- sorj I was able to talk with the Roberts Theater and was informed that the owner would be busy until 8:15 preparing an un- usually good bill. Therefore, I reserved a box for my wife and children, and of course, myself. A few hours later found me speeding in my electric dirigible, which had been designed by Arol Green, a dignified member of our class. No sooner ha-d I landed than I was surprised to see a new Stormzand monoplane speeding toward us, and was agreeably surprised, when it stopped, to see Mr. and Mrs. Ash of the Ash Dancing School. Surprising as it may seem, Mr. Ash looked worried and told me that his daughter had just had a tooth pulled by our class dentist, Dr. Lewis Fickett. In the eleva- tor which was to take us from the landing roof to the theater I found our friend Joseph Gebala, who introduced us to his charming wife. Dur- ing our descent past 5b floors, our friend told us that he had been successful in making dia- monds out of old chewing gum. U-pon leaving the elevator we saw a crowd collected in one corner of the great Mezzanine Floor and among them we found our friends Albert Bloom, Fred Barbas, Isidor Sklover, and Abraham Rosen talking about the hot dogs they used to buy for six cents. You will surely remember them as the owners of the Bloom, Sklover, Barbas Sz Rosen Co., who were so suc- cessful in the mail order business. We reached our box just as the 'tJordan Topi- cal Weekly was starting. The first views were of the large developing tanks of the Shaw Film Corporation, and in one ro-om old Shaw himself sat, and made a marvelous demonstration of the improved talking motion picture film being run thru the Stirton ''Photometotalkagraphf' The next showed the great works of the Plau- man Electrical Engineering Company, whose total output of Juiceifiers were used by the Wm. E. Stirton Company. One of the main buildings of this plant was devoted extensively to drafting and designing, and at a desk many sizes too large for him sat Jimmey Virtue, the chief of the department. Views of other departments throughout the plant showed many skilful workers, including Nathan Weingarten, the engineer, who was kept busy building additions to the extensive manufacturing plant. tMr. Plauman is a selec- tor of employes as well as an able executive.J Other world famous men in the plant were Smiling Petrosky and the great. designer and writer, Henry Elliott, whose latest book entitled Why Get Married? was read in every corner of the world. This book was written in the new international language, an outgrowth of several years of study and work on the part of Dr. Benjamin Waechter and Dr. F. A. Lake, both great professors. While thinking of the members of our class who did things for the whole world I must not forget the work of Miss Elizabeth Allen, whose books and magazine articles on Home Eco- nomics and kindred subjects have revolution- ized the housekeeping of the world. Looking again at the screen I see the great out-of-doors and a tractor racing across a field toward us, and sitting proudly on the velvet cushions of its mahogany body I see Sidney Dorb, the great electrical genius, who invented this wonderful labor saver, capable of plowing at the speed of 25 miles per hour. The scene shifts, showing a queer sight. It seems to be a perfectly good corn shock and someone running towards it rapidly. This 'per- son proved later to be none other than Farmer Lightbody trying to show three little laughing Lightbodies how he played foot ball in 1919. As the figure leaped thru the air we saw it mow down the unsuspecting corn shock, but suddenly the flight was checked. There was a boulder hidden behind the shock. A close-up showed the disabled farmer rubbing his rapidly swelling coco, and his little son patting him and saying, Do it again, Dad. But with the true Lightbody humor he says, 'It wasn't the rock that hurt, it was the sudden stop. Leaving the fields we see the wonderful new buildings on this extensive experimental farm. The greatest structure is the 15-story barn just being completed by the Mcllveen Construction Company. Around the twelfth floor is a broad promenade for the rarest animal in the world, the horse, of which Mr. Lightbody has the only two specimens on this side of the Atlantic. The THE TRIANGLE 23 electrical work on the building was to be done by the Thurman Electrical Company, and sure enough, there was old LaRoy himself arguing with his chief draftsman, Ed. Mayer, and Jos- eph Forman, layout man, as to whether the hole in the blueprint was meant for a light or not. Here, too, we saw Albert Haberer, director of the great enterprise, arranging the 542,381 drawings of the main floor. During the next few minutes we saw views of the great Atlantic Bridge which was being constructed by A. L. Lake Sc Co., who had em- ployed the J. W. Bennett Electric Co. to keep it lighted so that Raymond Voigt, the great athlete, would not collide with the massive platinum railings during his walk to London, which was to take place as soon as the bridge was completed. Steel for the framework was being transported from the Michalski Steel Co.'s mills. The Review closed by showing the Pharmacy Laboratories of H. E. L'Hote, the largest in the city. We were surprised that this lab occu- pied the 96th and 97th iloor of the Gurewitch Building. The Review over, the curtain rose and the spotlight disclosed our most famous tenor, Senior Chappell, who sang his latest song en- titled Why Do I Chase the Cars? the greatest hit since Jazz Baby. The first spasm over, we decided to leave. In the foyer we ran across our friend and classmate, Miss Janina Bronis- zewska, who had recently startled the world with her great pharmaceutical discoveries. On my way home I thought of the many things other members of our class had done. The paintings of Philo J. Holzhauer were mas- terpieces. Joseph King was a great doctor and I was a Professor of Chemistry at the Detroit Technical University, the outgrowth of the school from which we graduated just 25 years ago. I realize now, as never before, the value of the lessons and forewarnings of the teachers of the great school which fitted us most appro- priately for the tasks which we were to meet during our sojourn on this earth.

An Early Call The shortage of girls for the graduates of January, 1920, has caused much unhappiness among the members of the class. Being seniors, the members must look after the younger gen- erations. The January graduates, therefore, fore, issue a call for fifty or sixty pretty girls to accompany the graduating class of June, 1920, on their class parties and outings. P. S.-High School of Commerce, take heed. ' I. M. NoTT. 24 THE TRIANGLE CLASS WILL. By WALTER Asn. the graduating class of January, gl, 1, 20, of sound mind t?J and judgment, do hereby bequeath the following prop- 'j 5':'L Sa' erty to the unfortunate class follow- ing us, and we do hereby appoint Mr. Hoyt as our legal representative and attorney 'with power to act unreservedly in our behalf. We, therefore, leave behind us to those said unfortunates the property left behind by the aforesaid graduating class, which property is to be divided and distributed by Mr. Hoyt as directed: The honorable Mr. Chappell bequeaths to Mr. Siemen his wonderful efficiency in Math. VII, providing said efiiciency only be used when some enterprising pupil takes up the whole blackboard on one proposition. To Mr. Wells, our most honorable President, Mr. Roberts leaves all his ability to 'fbawl out the class in general and one person in particular when a screw is reported missing from one of the seats in 317 during a meeting of the Seniors. Stirton, the little boy with the big head, relinquishes all right to its size and contents to Mr. Greene. It is very much doubted that Mr. Greene can take care of said head, but if any lack of care is noticed by our eagle-eyed executive, said executive should immediately make the aforesaid aspirant to knowledge re- linquish all right to said head, and see to it that it be bestowed on proper shoulders. C. Wolf, the money-getter, gives up all right to sign his name to checks and receipts to Mr. Brand. Also the deceased treasurer opens his heart enough to give his successor a piece of advice. Said advice cannot be given in public, so the heir will receive said advice by applying to Mr. Clark in Dugout 313 on Dead Man's Hill. The class of January '20, realizing that the aristocratic peer of Cass is almost extinct, do very graciously consign to Mr. De Vries, Mr. Lee's ability to represent Cass in the Style Show held semi-yearly at Hamtramck High School. We also give to Mr. De Vries the right to manicure his finger nails in any class where it is convenient, without fear of interference from any teacher. As Miss Costenoble's friend and boon com- panion, Mr. A. L. Lake, is also departing, we grant Mr. Gregorich the distinguished position of keeping her in good spirits fexternal spirits, pleasej. The position hereby bequeathed can only be held during good behavior, and in case Mr. Gregorich uses his stand-in with said teacher to procure an excuse, we have only to state here, that in holding this position he is upholding the honor of the deceased class and any misstep would lead to complete downfall and dishon-or. Mr. Mcllveen gives all his ability to smile at Mr.- Ray and tell him that his folks were away, consequently he was late for math., to anyone who has Mr. Ray for Math. To Gasser, Mr. Lightbody, the boy who earned the sobriquet Chick Harley, be- queaths his wonderful ability to make touch- downs for Cass providing he uses all the afore- said ability in the next game with North- western. Shaw, the only scholar of Terpsichore, is willing to sell his secret of how to learn to dance for a song, but here the dying class unanimously protests that the song must not be sung within a radius of five miles of school. Holzhauer relinquishes all right to look im- portant and dignified to Mr. Tozer. Here we may state that at first it may be hard for the heir to line up to the expectations of the de- ceased owner, but anything that is worth doing at all is worth doing well, also practice makes perfect, so we sincerely hope that the said heir will acquire the knack of looking important, in- side of a couple of decades. And now the honorable Mr. Elliott, having fulfilled the position of head of the TIUANGLE to his utmost, wishes to bestow this honorable position on Mr. Shiell. In fulfilling this posi- tion, it is the duty of the aforesaid heir to see that the TRIANGLE is kept on its lofty perch and if possible to elevate it still higher in its ranking with other magazines. Schimell leaves his wonderful ability to set up the switchboard in Room 100 to Alford Jones. Here the dying gentleman lingers long enough, before passing away, to give Mr. Jones a few words of advice: Never start a gen- erator without a field! Also Mr. Weingarten leaves his position of providing entertainment for the Seniors by imitating Caruso, to Mr. Henk. Said heir might avoid much confusion by having all loose ar- ticles removed from the reach of his audience, during his demonstrations. Also, the nearness of Death's hand to Mr. Dorb seems to have loosened the heart strings of that distinguished successor to Sanders to the extent of willing his entire store of mathe- matic knowledge to Lester Bather. Mr. Camp inherits Mr. Fickett's well-earned THE T reputation of being broke, but under strict orders from the deceased not to be in such condition when tickets are being sold to carry out school activities. And as a will is not complete without an unknown heir we have in one graduating class an object which cannot be left to anyone as yet. We, therefore insist that our executive be present at the first meeting of the graduates of June '20 and bestow upon the most promis- ing individual Mr. Bloom's ability to interrupt meetings. To the rest of school the class wills the Hall of Fame, said Hall to be dusted out once every month. Also we bestow upon the said un- fortunates the Rogues' Gallery and our bound- less good will. To the teachers of Cass, who have watched us grow and develop in our untiring efforts in quest of knowledge, and also excuses, we be- queath our utmost love and devotion. Therefore we, the graduating class of Jan. '20, do hereby appoint as our legal representa- tive and executor Mr. Hoyt. We hereby sign our names and aflix our seal this 29th day of January, 1920, A. D. CLASS 1920. Witnesses: Ma. ALLEN. Mn. BAKER. THE TOP OF THE SECOND HILL -if If 'Q HIS title may seem without a point, and yet there are three hills in the path of a scholar. The first hill is WIT-cf comparatively small when looked back upon, for it is the hill we climbed in grammar school. From the top of the hill we climbed in grammar school may be seen another hill, and a close observer may discern large ruts and holes. But, luckily, the jubi- lant graduate of the eighth grade does not pause to scan the hill closely. He plunges down to the bottom of the second precipitous hill and begins to wend his tortuous path up its seeming unscalable sides. We can use this hill as an exact example of a pupil's climb from Freshman to Senior, and the helping branches of the bushes are synonymous to the help re- ceived from our teachers. They are continually helping some struggling lad to the top of the hill. A boy who receives advice and help from a teacher should be envied and not jeered at. But keep in mind that age-old saying, God helps them that help themselves. By substi- tuting Teachers for God, we have the motto of a teacher. And now having grasped all of the stretched, Rl ANGLE 25 inviting branches to help ourselves over the rough spots, we have gained the top of the second hill. As we look down we see a dark abyss. Beyond this dark chasm rises another steep hill. How many of us will enter the dark chasm, never to emerge again? This is a question that is impossible to answer, but let us hope that not one of us will content our- selves with having climbed the second hill. There is yet another hill, steeper, longer and with less shrubbery, to help us over the rough and slippery parts. Here we will meet the real tests. After achieving the top of the third hill we will be of some use to the world and our community. CAN YOU IMAGINE? Elizabeth Allen not looking trim. W. Ash with some coin.

TRIANGLE '- LETTER CYCLE BY Roi' THURMAN AND Ascension Field, Ann Arbor, Mich., June 14, 1919. Mr. Lynn C. Doyle, 423 Fifth Avenue, New York City, Dear Wifie: As I am now fully recovered from my sick- ness, I am going to start on my trip to China in my balloon. You know I am interested in engines, and I am taking my latest invention, a twin-eleven motor, to show the people of China what a great inventor I am. I know this will be a success there, and I shall soon come back to you a rich man. I remain, Your beloved, LYNN. Somewhere up in the Air, June 17, 1919. To the one who finds this: Have lost control of my balloon and am land- ing in what I believe to be Africa with Pro- fessor I. Felix Austed, noted physiologist of the famous Doolittle College. I am very lucky to have this man with me, for he is very entertaining. When I started on my trip, I pulled up my anchor and whom did I find on it but the professor. As I was about a thousand feet in the air, I let him take the trip with me, as I thought he would hurt himself if I let him drop. Please write and tell our wives for they will be worried. Their addresses are, Mrs. I. Felix Austed, 1423 Parfay Avenue, and Mrs. Lynn C. Doyle, 423 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Yours truly, LYNN C. DOYLE. Steamship Mary Garden, June 20, 1919. Mrs. Lynn C. Doyle, 423 Fifth Avenue, New York City. Dear Mrs: As we were sailing in the Mediterranean Sea one of my crew picked up a bottle which contained a. message stating that your husband had lost control of his balloon and was land- ing in Africa. He also said he had a profes- sor with him and that you shouldn't worry, for he is very entertaining. As my time is money, I will leave it to you to notify the professor's wife, whose address is: WILLIAM STIRTON. Mrs. I. Felix Austed, 1423 Parfay Avenue, New York City. His Honor, CAPT. Kino. In A Large Jungle, Africa. June 21, 1919. Mrs. Lynn C. Doyle, 423 Fifth Avenue, New York City. My dear Wife: I am trusting to my best carrier pigeon to carry this message to you to let you know I am still living. We landed safely after the professor had had many heated arguments with monkeys and apes. As far as the food is concerned, I am en- joying my meals greatly, having cocoanuts. berries, bananas and many other things that the professor says are good to eat. We are both enjoying ourselves greatly. I am putting new things on my twin-eleven mot-or, while the professor is having the time of his life studying some bones he found. Something right now tells me there is going to be trouble, for I hear shouting that sounds like a band of cannlbals, so I must say good- bye to you till I see what happens. Your brave husband. LYNN. Somewhere in Africa. Tangerine Tribe. Mrs. I. Felix Austed, 1423 Parfay Avenue, New York, N. Y. My dear Wife: I do not know whether you have received my last letter, which I sent by a carrier pigeon, or not, but I am trusting Providence you have. Since my last letter Lynn has taken his motor and made a fine automobile. We were build- ing great air castles then, when we remembered we had no gasoline. But one day I was watching the old witch doctor, when he suddenly poured a liquid into a vial and ignited it by using two stones, as I had taught him. I knew immediately that if this liquid existed in any quantity our fortune was assured. The priest showed me where there was a great pool of this liquid, and we have had no dith- culty in procuring the necessary fuel. Lynn and I have been conversing together, and we are going to part from this tribe very soon, so do not worry. I have collected some 28 THE TRIANGLE very interesting physiological facts on the brachy cephalic craniums. As you are doubt- less aware, nearly all negroes have dolecho cephalic craniums but this tribe are decided- ly brachy cephalic. These people are very idiosipicratic. They are constantly in a state of imperscrutableness. My geological discoveries have interested nie most, though, for in addition to finding splen- did specimens of murchrisonite of the species Albite, Anorthite, Labradorite and Ayacolite with fragments of ammochripe and amphirio- lite, I have found a. new specimen I have called amentaceous elipsopaphelytriform, out of re- spect to these simple natives. It is a beau- tiful, indefinite pinkish gray in color, and occurs in crystallized hexahedral prisms termi- nated by corresponding pyramids, also in rolled fragments composed of imperfect pris- matic crystals. Its fracture is conchoidical. But the dinner bell is ringing, so I must quell my effervescent spirits and eat. Your husband, PROF. I. FELIX AUSTED, A. B. C. D. Somewhere in Africa, Tangerine Tribe. Mrs. Lynn C. Doyle, 423 Fifth Ave., New York City. Dear Wifie: I am sending this letter by carrier pigeon to cheer you up a bit, for we may not return as soon as I had fondly hoped. The chief of the Tangerine Tribe is named Grapefruitio, and he has a handsome daughter named Tomatino. Both the chief and the daughter are pressing very urgently a mar- riage between Tomatino and the Professor, despite the professor's protests that he is al- ready married. When we tried to sneak off last night fthe professor and IJ we went quite a distance and then noticed we were out of gasoline. When we looked where the tank should be, there was Tomatino, and she said she had thrown it away because it was in her way. So We pushed the auto back, and we are trying to find a substitute for a gasoline tank. All the rubber of the gas bag is gone, for the natives have appropriated it for tights. Added to these difficulties, the old head priest is requesting us urgently to use our power as gods and bring rain. We have put him off in many ways, but we are reaching the time when we must do something about it. I have only one more carrier pigeon left, so do not worry if you do not hear from us for a while. Your loving husband, LYNN. Somewhere in Africa, Tangerine Tribe. Mrs. I. Felix Austed, 1423 Parfay Avenue, New York, N. Y. My dear and precious wife: I know this will be the last letter I shall write you, for we are going to meet our death in a very short while. You know that head priest has been asking us for rain for months, and all his people are tired of waiting, so they have prepared a caldron of boiling water and we are to be im- mersed in it and boiled, so farewell, my dear -I can see the water boiling-now they are taking Lynn-now he is in the pot-now they are coming for mei Wake up, Felix, you must not go to sleep with your feet in that tub of hot water. I guess you have recovered from your rheuma- tismf' LYNN. CASS TECH. C is for Cass, our school ever dear, Enshrined in our hearts for many a year.

WALTER MICHALSKI, Eng. VII. Just What Did She Mean? Hewitt: My wife is a cheerful sort of com- panionf' Jewett: How is that? Hewitt: I told her that I had taken out a twenty year endowment on my life, and she said that she hoped I wouldn't mature before the policy did. THE TRIANGLE 29 THE PONY Bob Clarke was talking. Bob Clarke usually was talking but this time he was in earnest and as he talked the group of students on the campus of Widmore University gradually be- came larger. Yeah, he was saying, 'Deacon' Crawford told the dean this morning. I heard him my- self. Old 'Deacon' comes up to Johnston and says, 'My dear Dean, I feel it incumbent upon me to notify you to-day that I have fully de- cided that Richmond has neglected his Math- ematics so much lately that I must declare him ineligible? What! said the Dean. You don't mean to say that Trent Richmond is ineligible? I do, said 'Deaconf Why, my dear Crawford, you of course realize that Richmond is the captain and main- stay of our basketball team and that we will have a very diflicult time to defeat Humber College even with him in the lineup in the game we play immediately after the holidays? I do, said Deacon, but I cannot bring my- self to the thought of allowing his poor work to continue and I consider this the best way of bringing him to time. Of course, if you wish me to let the matter slide, I am, of course, bound to do so. Oh, no, Crawford, if you have fully decided that he is ineligible, I will notify him. That's all I heard, 'cause I thought it was time to beat it before they caine out. But what in the dickens can we do without Richmond? asked Clarke. No one could answer this question till at last Bill Richards spoke up. I wonder if we could get Crawford to let Richmond to take the special exam in Math that Crawford is giving immediately after the holidays and if Richmond passes this to let him play against Humber. A Only two objections to that, said Clarke. First, it will be a hard job to get Crawford to let Richmond take the special exam, and next is that Richmond couldn't give the proof to more than one proposition in Euclid if someone gave him a farm. Still, I guess, that's the best scheme, and seeing as Richmond is going to stay here during the holidays to practice with the team, I'll get Richmond to take the special exam and get that math. shark in Cooke's Hall to help him if you, Richards, will see Crawford and get his consent to Richmond taking the exam. You're on, said Richards, and they both departed immediately on their separate errands. When Richards accosted Professor Crawford he was surprised to lind that worthy in a very agreeable frame of mind, and after short con- sideration he agreed to let Richmond take the exam. But Clarke met with more opposition. He finally got Reynold Jones the shark in Cooke's Hall, to agree to coach Richmond, but Rich- mond was heartily opposed to the proposition. At last Richmond delivered his ultimatum, I'll take the exam, he said, provided I can have a pony. Clarke had to accept this as final and saw Jones and told him of Richmond's statement. Jones was at tirst heartily opposed to the pony idea. Finally a light seemed to dawn upon him, for he exclaimed to Clarke, Tell Rich- mond I'll coach him and I'll also put a list down of subjects from which he can make his pony. Clarke rushed out of the hall and told Rich- mond, who was very surly but nevertheless stuck by his bargain and decided to see Jones every morning during the holidays and prac- tice basketball in the afternoon. On the Iirst day of vacation Richmond visited Jones' room and started studying. Soon he looked up to Jones and said, Say, old man, what about the pony? Jones answered immediately. Here's a list Ufthings to put in your pony. Make it out to- night, and let me see it to-morrow morning. The next morning Richmond showed up bright and early. l-lere's the pony, he said as he took out his watch. She's right here in the back of my watch. When the exam is on I'll take my watch out pretend to look at the time and really be looking at the pony. Pretty classy, eh, Jones? Let me see it, said Jones. Richmond handed the watch over. Jones looked at it carelessly for a while and then said, That's crude work, Richmond. I'll tear this one out and you can bring me another in your watch to-morrow. Richmond grumbled a little but the next day he came with another pony. Jones looked at it critically. That's good work, Richmond, he said, but it will never be any value to you when written in soft lead as you have it here, for it will smear. I'll take this one out and you can bring another to- morrow. Day in and day out through the two weeks vacation Jones made some sort of an excuse for tearing up Richmond's pony. Finally the 30 THE TRIANGLE last day came and Richmond brought in his masterpiece. Jones looked it over thoroughly for a long while. At last he looked up to Richmond. That's perfect, Trent, he said. Richmond looked gratified, but replied that he still was dubious. The morning for the special exam came and the campus was agog with excitement, for of course the news was known throughout the college. Richmond went in to take the exam and saw a student there whom he knew to be a close associate of Jones. He dropped into the seat beside him and whispered in his ear, 'Tm Rich- mond, captain of the basketball team. You know why I'm here. Help me out, and We'll win the game to-morrow night. Just then Professor Crawford called to Rich- mond. Come on up here, Richmond, he said. I've reserved this secluded front seat for you, so none of the others can bother you. Richmond was stunned. So Crawford was suspicious of him, eh? Well, He'd show Craw- ford. Old Deacon couldn't possibly catch him with his watch pony, and he'd pass the exam with colors flying. So he took the seat indi- cated by Crawford. Soon all the students were in and seated who were due. Then Crawford got up to the front of the room. Students, he said, slowly and distinct- ly, I wish you all to notice this large clock in the front of the room. It is perfectly visible to all of you and it's time is absolutely correct. I feel, therefore, that I can reasonably ask of you-in fact I will demand of you-that you refrain from looking at your watches during the course of the examination. We will now have the first question. He proceeded with the question, but Rich- mond saw with unseeing eyes, he heard with unheeding ears. His brain was in a tumult. Probably Jones had tipped Deacon off to the fact that he had a pony in his watch. Wfell, there was no use of his trying the examination and make a fool of himself over the whole school. He sat in his chair for awhile and then arose. Where are you going, Richmond? asked Professor Crawford. Pm going out, snapped Richmond, and he started for the door. Then l take it that you do not consider your- self big enough for this examination? asked Crawford. Richmond stood still, and uttered not a word, but deepened the black scowl upon his brow. I have always understood that you athletic men, went on Crawford, were not afraid, but this I see was an erroneous impression. Still Richmond did not answer. After a pause the professor went on. Then I will have to brand you upon my mind as a quitter, as yellow, as-- Stop! said Richmond. Don't call me yel- low! , ' I see no particular reason for not doing so, said Crawford calmly. In fact, I think moral cowardice is more of a sin than physical cowardice, and anyone afraid of a fair mathe- matics examination is to me as yellow as any- thing I could think of. I'm not yellow! I'll take your exam, and I'll bet you money, marbles or chalk that I pass it. Crawford answered quietly. Very well, he said. Richmond resumed his seat. He gazed at the nrst question for a long while. He left it and gazed at the next one, and on down the list he went. Then he started over again. Suddenly he stopped, and started writing. His hand fairly flew over the paper. About an hour later he looked up. The rest of the students were still writing. He looked over his paper, signed his name to it, put it on the professor's desk, and left the room. Outside he was soon surrounded by a swarm of fellows. He dismissed them all by saying he will announce the marks to-morrow in chapel. The next morning at chapel Crawford started announcing the marks. When he came to Trent Richmond he stopped, looked at the dean, and then looked at Richmond, who was staring at him with eyes and mouth open. Crawford cleared his throat and read: Trent Crawford-963' Pandemonium broke loose. Outside every- body started asking Richmond the same ques- tion, How did you do it? Huh, that's easy, he said. I copied so many of those ponies for Jones that I knew them by heart. But, he said, I wonder who tipped off the professor about my watch? And only Jones smiled, for he knew, and the whole scheme had ended exactly as he had planned, WILLIABI STIRTON, Eng. VIII. Latest or Last?

Social, Cass Tech MODERN HEROISM lt was on a bright, sunny day the Ger- mans, comfortably entrenched in their retreat- ed position on a hilltop, were expecting each day to be attacked by the Allied forces and were therefore uneasy. If you engaged on a spying -expedition on the German positions on that particular day, you would have seen the following: On the northwest corner was a. large tree, the only sign of vegetation on the hill. Di- rectly under the tree st-ood, or rather leaned, a German sentinel, with the bayonet of his gun stuck into the ground to give him a. better support. About twenty feet east stood a table with papers scattered about the top, and a fat German officer sitting at it, his head in his arms, soundly sleeping. No other signs of life could be seen. Presently three German ofllcers, as you could plainly see by the great number of Iron Crosses pinned on their coats, came up from the con- cealed exit of a dugout. They first scanned the scene below, then turned their gaze about them and saw the ofhcer at the table. They imme- diately awoke him, and with the usual bottle of wine for stimulation, began to inspect the maps on the tab-le, at the same time starting a conversation. If you had understood the German language, you would have heard how they were going to drive the Allied forces clear back to Paris the very next day. It would have greatly amused you, and you would have forgotten your posi- tion and laughed aloud. Presently the fat officer with the most Iron Crosses pinned on him stood on his feet and gave a summary of their plans for their great drive iretreatl. As the meeting was about to adjourn a tall, lean German spy, who had as- sumed the name of Lord Victor G. Hawkins for his work, and who wore an Allied uniform, came rushing up to the group of otflcers. His coat was unbuttoned, and he had lost his hat in his great haste. The moment the spy recovered his breath. he told the officers about the great drive the Allied forces were making. On hearing the news that the Allies were al- most upon them, each oflicer gave one leap. reached for his bottle of wine and ran down the side of the hill as fast as his legs could carry him. In fact they ran so fast that the slim spy could not keep up with them. This shows the great work the Allies were doing by teaching these fat oflicers to run. Pinto I. Honzuauas, Contributing Editor. J. Psrnosxr. 32 THE TRIANGLE A THRILLING ADVENTURE Having received an invitation to go camping with a club of fellows, I made preparation to leave early one Saturday afternoon. Just before leaving I received a telephone call from one of the fellows to bring several cans of milk along, for they were running low and it was a five-mile walk to a store. This I did and packed them on top of my clothing in my grip and started. The trip ordinarily took two and one- half hours, but a break in the track held us up another two hours, which made it about eight o'clock before I reached the end of my car ride. After I got off the car I had another half mile to walk to clamp through a small thicket. It being dark I opened my grip for my flash light, and to have more room to hunt for it I placed two of the cans of milk in my side pockets. After finding my light I started on my way through the thicket. When about three- fourths the way through I was met by some- thing white which grunted and hissed at me. Presently, a little farther, three more figures came out from among the trees and I became scared. Then to make things worse, they came toward me, and then I didn't know what to do. Being very much startled, I dove into a pocket and my hand met with one of the cans of milk, which I immediately brought out and let fly at the nearest white figure. It missed the one I aimed at, but hit another in the foot. The last three that had shown themselves vanished among the trees. The first one, I could see, had no intention of leaving, so I dug for the other can of milk, which I let fiy, and it caught him about the head. When the can struck him he gave a most unearthly shriek and I headed for the camp in double quick time. When I arrived there was only one fellow at camp, and I asked where the others were. For a reply I got, Went to the store for milk. I explained that I had brought milk, but he re- marked that they thought they'd make sure. About an hour later the rest returned, one with a limp and another with a swollen jaw with three teeth knocked loose. I then knew who the ghosts Were, and they brought the two cans 'alongl had used so effectually. F. A. LAKE. Eng. VII. We Sympathize With You, Arnold While in the rush for a seat at a table in the lunch room, little Lester Arnold was caught in the crowd and progress toward his seat was almost impossible. The little fellow then shouted: Slay, fellows, if I can't get through here with an em-pty stomach, how will I ever get out after I have eaten my meal? PEOPLE WE MEET ln the course of an evening's work a mail man meets many people and hears some very curious remarks. Some of these remarks are questions which he tries to answer to the best of his ability, and other remarks are meant to make him feel embarrassed. I will try to give as correctly as possible a few of the many sayings that a mail man hears and answers. First stop is a sub-station and there stands a very prim looking old lady, who from appear- ances must be wealthy. The mail man steps from his auto and starts to take the mail from the letter box in front of the sub-station. The lady, who just remembers she has a letter to mail, hurries into the sub-station, which hap- pens to located in a drug store, and buys a stamp, then turning to the mail man, who is just coming in for the parcel post, says: Oh! postman, will you please put this stamp on this letter for me, as the mucilage on the stamp always makes me sick? The postman make a wry face and answers, I am sorry, lady, but I am not in the best of health myself, and goes about his work. The lady looks rather angrjfand turns to the drug clerk, who hastily finds a place in the back room. Then she sticks the stamp on the letter and goes out muttering how un- accommodating some people are. At the next stop things are rather quiet, and everything goes along smoothly u11til, just as the mail man gets ready to leave, in rushes a young lady with a small parcel tucked under her arm. She seems very anxious to get it away. She runs over to the mail man and asks a question like this: 'Oh, are you the mail man ? Mail man answers, No, lady, I am a fish peddler and I wear this uniform to at- tract peop1e's attention. The lady realizes the foolish question she asked, and laughing, asks the mail man to take her parcel, which he does. The next stop is a mail box, and just as the niail man is ready to leave a flashy-dressed young man hands him a letter, blows a puff of cigarette smoke in the air, and assuming a pose which he most likely thought that of a business man, asks a question like this: Now if I mail a letter here for Pittsburgh what time will it be delivered there? The mail man scratches his head, and trying to look intelli- gent, answers: The day after tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning. The 'young man leaves perfectly satisfied. The mail man hurries on to the next stop and while there a short, stubby old man, evi- dently a German, asks him a question that THE TRIANGLE 33 would puzzle an expert. He asks: Mister mail man, could I sent a letter straight through to Germany yet? The mail man answers: I can't tell you for certain, but I think direct connections have been opened up since the war is over. The German says: No, all dot mail vot I sent goes through by Holland and Denmark yet. So the mail man, who has nothing to do with regulating mail on the high seas, refers him to the Postmaster and hurries on. At the next stop there is no one in sight, and the mail man is just congratulating himself when a young lady accompanied by her mother comes running out of a house across the street with about twenty-five letters in her hand. She steps over to the mail man and thinking she has him hypnotized with her smile, says: Will you take these letters and mail them for me if I give you the money? They are very important. The mail man answers: AI am sorry, lady, but I haven't the time to spare. Then her mother proceeds to express her opinion as to how lazy and unaccommodating these mail men are, and says she will report him to the Post- master. The mail man gets out of hearing as quickly as possible. The next stop is a letter box, and behold, her-e comes a fat man in a hurry! He proves to be a jolly fellow and hands the mail man a letter accompanied by la cigar. This puts the mail man in better spirits. These are just a few of the many questions and incidents in an afternoon's work. Some people will ask for time of trains in all parts of the country, others will ask for the time of day. Then there are some who want a. mail man to put himself out by trotting up about four iiights of stairs to get a letter, and others want to hold an hour's conversation over something that doesn't mean anything to the mail man. With all these things to contend with one of the rules of the service is: Be kind and courteous to everyone you meet. If you can answer all the questions and arguments hand- ed to you while on duty without losing your temper, you are a model mail man. He is yet to be found. HIKROLD M. STAFFORD.

Well, anyhow, as I was sayln', a couple o' city fellers come over here from G- in a big - racer, I guess y'u call 'em. Anyhow, when that infernal contraption commenced hootin' and brayin' through this here peaceful valley, you should a seen it. I reckon it must a' been goin' nigh on to one hundred miles a' hour, cause when it passed y'u it was by y'u and then right away ag'in it wasn't. It shore was a fright. Well now, stranger, thet rip-roarin', red devil jist passes the blacksmith's like a shot.

Now it kinda seems thet one a' them fellers was asayin' somethin' about jumpin' a broken bridge down below here, when I come up. That's all I heard. Thin, as everyone was astandin' around gapin' like idjits, who shoots his mouth but thet allus wise Bill Snothers, who sez that he bets thet thet was the boat Washington crossed the Delaware in. But Abe-y'u know Abe, dontcha? Well, Abe had it thet it was the boat Columbus crossed the ocean in. Daws all the time stood there not sayin' nothin', idjit-like. But them city fellers wasn't to be fooled, so one says thet he calculated thet they had both Columbus 'n' Washington beat, as they gosh dinged nigh went to perdi- ticn in her when they jumped that bad hole in the bridge thet mornin', 'n' Daws jist grinned.

Sam- Why, uncle, I see no harm in tryingg besides, how can I hope to support Caroline properly, situated as I am? I have now a chance to become, it may be, wealthy, at least to greatly improve my present condition. I am assured by those who are well informed, that this is an excellent company. Si- Excellent nonsense! Now mark what I tell you-no good will ever arise from this oil speculation. I have been opposed to it from the first, and I have had no reason to change my opinion. It is nothing more nor less than gambling! Sam- Uncle, I beg leave to differ with you. You know Shakespeare says There is a tide in the affairs of men, which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortunef Si- I am 'pretty sure the bard did not allude to Oil Creek. Sam- Well, just as you please. I have de- cided to invest. IE.1:it Sam, enter Squire with papersj Si- Good morning, Squire, what have you there? Squire- Something of importance, I assure you. We are about to organize an oil company, offering excellent inducements to those who, like you and me, have but a small capital and wish to see it increased. I thought that you, being a particular friend of mine, should be in- formed of the chance before it becomes gen- erally known. Just look at this prospectus! Si lthrowing papers asidel- Don't talk to me of oil companies and the ruinous speculation which they cause. I am opposed to it, sir, con- scientiously and religiously opposed to it. I wouldn't invest a dime in any of your boasted companies. They are swindles, sir, from begin- ning to end. IExit Squire.l Si Inside!- I wonder, I wonder. First my nephew, and a bright boy he is, was persuading me to invest in oil. Now the Squire comes along with a prospectus and a list of our most prominent people who are backing this venture. And you could never beat the Squire in a trade or deal, nohow. If I could get twenty thousand dollars, I could marry Arabella and buy a fine home. I think I will invest a thousand dollars in the Mud Creek Oil Company, so I will go right down to the bank now and avoid the rush. IExit Simon-enter Squire.I Squire Iasidel- Maybe I was rash in this oil deal. Here Simon says that it is gambling and nothing else, and it is not a sure thing. What would I do if I lost?

Squire- Suppose the company should fail. Don't talk to me of oil companies and the ruin- ous speculation which they cause. I am opposed to it, sir-conscientiously and religiously op- posed to it. I wouldn't invest a dime in any of the companies. They are swindles, sir, from be- ginning to end. And I want no intended son of mine to invest. Do you hear?

THE TRIANGLE 335 A TALE OF THE SEA When the big ship Arcturus swung out from her berth in New York and steamed slowly down the bay, Captain Evans glanced at the sky and said to his first oiiicer: We are go- ing to hit a big gale before We reach the Cape tonight. See that everything is snug about the ship. Two hours later, when the Arcturus was abreast of the Cape, the oflicer reported to the Captain that the ship was snug and tight. Very good, said the Captain. It's going to be a nasty night. The storm broke, and one of those twisters that come from the Gulf swept up the coast. The great green waves rose on the starboard bow. The big ship plunged down into the gulf and then began its upward climb to the top. The mass of water towered far above the bow in the black night. Then the great wave broke with a thundering crash and swept over the ship. Captain Evans stood on the bridge, his mind concentrated on the thought of possible danger ready to spring out of that wall of blackness ahead of the ship. A messenger dashed up the ladder to the bridge. The water has broken through the skylight and is damaging the cabin, sir, said he. The Captain scowled and turned to speak when the cry man overboard! went ringing across the deck. He sprang to the engine room cord and signalled full speed astern. Men and oflicers rushed to the decks. Who is gone? shouted the Captain. Vandemore, a Seaman! was the answer. Tell Ferguson to take commandl of the boat! roared the Captain. The oflicer returned a few minutes later. Ferguson cannot be found, sir. I'll go, sir, said third officer Williams. Soon the life boat was struggling in the mighty waves, and the big ship had come about. Cap- tain Evans was angry to think that Ferguson, his new second ofhcer, was not on the job at the time when he was most needed. It was a terrific struggle. Searchlights guided the small boat. It disappeared behind wave after wave. It seemed as if the big ship would never reach its brave men. The storm still raged, making the rescue almost impossible. Captain Evans was agi- tated. He left the bridge and stalked toward the ofhcers' quarters, probably in search of Ferguson. He walked in. Where's Ferguson? demanded the Captain. He is not here, sir, was the answer. Not here? Where is he, then? No one answered. With a black look Captain Evans turned on his heel and left the place. Half an hour had elapsed, and the Arcturus had swung close to Williams and his men. The searchlight was thrown on them, and those on the ship could see with relief that they had found Vandemore and would bring him safely back. Hunt up Ferguson and send him to me, said the Captain to his nrst oificer. The lifeboat battled its way against great odds back to the ship. The brave sailors were almost exhausted, but they made it. In a few minutes boat and crew were on deck, and two figures were carried forward to the sick-bay. Ten minutes later the first officer was reporting to the Captain. Where is Ferguson? thundered the Cap- tain. I have a good mind to- But he and Vandemore are in sick-bay, said the oflicer, suddenly interrupting. You see it was like this: Ferguson saw Vande- more go overboard and leaped after him. He got hold of Vandemore and for half an hour kept him from drowning. They were about to go down for the last time when they were pulled in by Williams and his crew. Ferguson broke two of his ribs when he struck the wa- ter, but the doctor says he'll pull through all right. The Captain's eyes danced with pride. He's got the stuff, he said quietly. I shall men- tion it in my report. RUSSELL Lrer-rrsonr, English VII. A CIGARETTE ADVENTURE King Hassan and his daughter Fatima, ac- companied by guards Nebo and Reyno started on their way to visit Lord Salisbury at his Windsor Castle on the Egyptian Straits. Philip Morris, eager to get Fatima and make her his Favorite, hired two robbers named Milo and Melachrin-o to capture her as she was passing through Cairo on her Camel. The robbers made a Lucky Strike and took her to Castle Murad, home of Morris. In the meantime Nebo was making a Home Run to get Omar and his troops. Morris' troops fought bravely but were defeated and Fatima was brought home safely. As a reward King Hassan presented Nebo with Egyptian Luxuries and many Turk- ish Trophies. R. 'l mmM.m. 36 THE TRIANGLE LIMIE AND THE YANK There is a vast difference between the Doughboy and the Tommy. To describe this contrast more accurately I will relate some of my own personal experiences and the opinion of the majority of the Americans who came in contact with Tommy. I do not wish to include the whole British Expeditionary Forces, but only the soldier from England proper, who ac- quired the nickname of Tommy Atkins. There are many other soldiers under the Union Jack, nicknamed according to the province or state from which they came. The most commonly known to the Americans are the Canuck, or the Canadians, and the Jock, or the Aus- tralian. These two soldiers coming from the western hemisphere are Americanized in their traits and habits. They resemble the cos- mopolitan Yank more than the insular Brit- isher. Mr, Tommy, being confined within the boundaries of his little island domain, has not had the opportunities of broadening his vision as his western brothers have, and is therefore somewhat inclined to be narrow-minded, con- ceited and envious. For some unknown rea- son the Yank never appealed to Tommy. The fact that the Doughboy received better pay and rations increased his jealousy to a high pitch. Tommy knew that he was making history and occasionally in his leisure moments his mind would drift back to the history of days gone by. When his mind wandered back as tar as 1776, he would get a rather sickening sensa- tion and indulge in his favorite. expression, Gul blime me and strike me plnk. Il-lie really believed that there was nothing on the globe that could compete with His Royal Highness Tommy Atkins. The fact that the Yank could shoulder a gun and out-soldier him got his nanny. A The gen-eral opinion throughout the Ameri- can forces in France was that our friend Limie, another one of his nicknames, was a poor sport. The Doughboy traveled four thou- sand miles to reach France, and he came with an object in view, and he meant to accomplish it as soon as possible. Tommy was on the same kind of mission, but it did not seem to worry him when the job would be finished, not because he preferred the climate of Sunny France better than his own country-indeed he was real anxious to finish his sojourn in France-and to accomplish this there was noth- ing under the sun he would not do, expose him- self to tire, or take off his mask long enough to enable him to return to his beloved Blighty. A little incident happened in a town in which I was stationed shortly after the Armistice. Several Marines were indulging in the favor- ite pastime of France, consuming Vin Blanc, when several Tommies entered. The Leather- necks invited them to join the crowd, which they did. After several rounds of refresh- ments one brave and bold Mr, Atkins sought to chastise the Devil Dogs by passing the following remark: Well, if you bloody Yanks would have come over here about four years ago and fought your own bloody battles the bloody war would have been over long ago. I am not going into details concerning the fate of that delegation from the army of Geo. V., but need- less to say in future they will consider a little more caution advisable when the Bloody Yanks are around. E'MIL F. Nonnivnnne. DEFINITIONS Island. A wart in a body of water. Sissy.

VII. u n ra al rr u sr THE TRIANGLE 37 1 iliiurial HEADED FOR THE OPEN SEA About thirteen years ago this graduating class and a few more persons set sail. It was a crude ship, if it might be called one, that they started on, but now it is quite a craft. It was only a board. The Board of Education. They set sail at the source fkindergartenj of a river iriver of educationj. At iirst everyone had a good time iplaying in kindergartenl and en- joyed the sailing. Soon, however, this joy was to stop. A good thing cannot last forever. If it did, the laws of nature would have to be revised. The happy and j-oy-filled sailors soon found themselves scraping on the rocks lhaving to learn A B C'cJ. Then trouble began. At this time and from now on a great deal of joy was to be forgotten and business was to be attended to frankly. Rocks were hit con- tinuously ilearning to read and writej, mem- bers of the crew were injured qfours on report cardsj, and general all-around confusion took place funprepared arithmetic, language, his- tory, etc.j. As they sailed on, the river became wider Chigher gradesl, they enabled themselves to handle their ship a little better llearningl, and sailing was once more smooth tobtained the idea of the different subjectsl. However, there were times when some member would get seasick and weak but he was soon cured fseat- mate allowed him to copy and thus pull through a testj. Finally the little ship with its cargo came to the end of the river QA-8 gradej and had to pass through a canal tElementary School iinal examinationsj. This required much skill on the part of the crew Canswering every ques- tionl. On the other end of the canal the sailors saw a lake. Upon seeing the lake, many be- came weak hearted and wanted to quit. Some were induced to stay, while others could not be persuaded. So the ship was brought to shore and those who did not want to cross the lake 'High Schoolj were let off. After making all necessary and many unnecessary arrangements fnew suits, shoes, books, etc.J, the crew pulled out to sea. It was hard work getting away from shore and out of shallow water ffilling out location cards, record slips, plans of work, etc.J, but soon the outfit was well on its way again. As might be expected, squalls tquizzesl, storms ttestsl, and gales iexaminationsj were encountered, and in a few cases members of the crew were washed overboard Cleft school! and never recovered again. Once in a while the ship put into port for a short time Csummer vacationb and while here, some member of the crew would wander off and never get back. Many were lost in this way. Now the ship has carried most of its crew safely over the lake and is ready to take them through the straits before them tgraduation examinationsj and into the Ocean of Life. Enrron. TO THE FACULTY Like many previous graduating classes, this class of graduates realizes at last that it has thought wrongly of Cass Tech's Teachers. In previous days the students of this class would like to have drowned some teacher or shot him or anything else to get rid of him, just because he seemed to give such hard lessons. Slome students would also liked to have set fire to the school or blown it up just so they might have a vacation. Instead of realizing how much val- uable time they were losing, they were over- joyed when a vacation drew near. When the students of this class were fresh- men, they didn't notice tne teachers very much. They were interested in their new school and new studies. When they were in their sopho- more year, they began to notice the teachers. They had worn the novelty off of the school and their work and began to think the teachers were to blame for this loss of interest. The Junior year saw hatred still stronger. Work was getting poor, and fives resulted: misunder- standings were numerous, and quarrels took place: too many privileges were taken, and conflicts aroseg and hundreds of other things came about, all of which developed misleading thoughts. Now that these same students are ending their work at Cass, they realize what a won- derful experience they have had-the exper- ience of learning. Now they realize that they could have derived more from it, but they are thankful for what they have. They realize also that the teachers have given them most of the education they have, and now they join in extending a hearty thanks to every member of the Faculty for their untiring services. Eiwroa. 38 THE TRIANGLE CASS OF THE FUTURE Detroit has a wonderful era of growth and prosperity before her. Even now many are be- ginning to enjoy its benefits. A striking example is the Cass Technical High School. Detroit's wondrous growth is based on its industrial activity. Therefore Cass has combined with its high school course a series of industrial departments. Every lead- ing industry in the city is represented at Cass, but thus far Cass's activity has been limited to men only. Beginning in February is the new Department for Girls. The compiling of the courses for this department has been in the hands of educators who have had years of ex- perience. The two leading courses offered are a Nurses Preparatory Training Course, that will prepare any girl to enter a training school, or as an assistant in a dentist's or physician's oflice. The second course is an Institutional Course, for work as an assistant cafeteria manager. These, however, are not the only courses. A course in Home Economics, espe- cially adapted to each individual, advertising, commercial art, jewelry design and manufac- ture, pharmacy and printing are also offered. Included in the printing course is the operation of a monotype machine. This process is similar to touch typewriting, but is far more interest- ing. The courses mentioned pay to the begin- ner around eighteen dollars a week, and after a little experience, pay forty dollars and above each week. Girls wishing to enroll may consult Miss Helen Livingstone in her office between now and the beginning of next semester. A. C. ROSEN, Sen. Eng. DRINKING FOUNTAIN AS WASHSTAND Walking down the hall toward the lunch room the reporter received a nice cool shower of water. Turning around he noticed a little freshman vigorously scrubbing his hands in a drinking fountain. Evidently he was still ig- norant of its use. Prob-ably he Just came from pattern-making and didn't have time to wash his hands, or else ne simply forgot and didn't want to appear in his next class with unclean hands. As he neared the drinking fountain an idea must have passed through his mind Cas all thought and ideas pass through a young fresh- ie's mindb that he would use it as a public wash basin. As the time was going quickly, he had one minute to get to his next class. In his efforts to reach his destination, he splashed water in every directiong it looked as if he were taking a shower bath. The next time this little freshman misses or forgets his daily plunge fas it might be calledl, he may go down to the shower-room and bath as long as he likes. The reporter is 'positive Mr. Katz won't have any objections, as he favors cleanliness. HENRY Banc-ki-rn, Eng. IV. FOOTBALL IN RUSSIA While the American army was in Russia, the Reds witnessed some football games between the various companies of the soldiers. They watched these quiet games very closely, and finally they decided that the game of football needs revision. The following is an account of the first game of revised football that was played in Russia. The contest was held between Petrograd and Moscow at Moscow. As Orloff from Petrograd caught the ball on the kick-off, he was shot to death by Moscow's quarterback. The referee penalized Moscow for roughing, and the former was carried off the field leaving a widow and seven children. After constant line plunging, Petrograd gained five yards, but lost seven men. Moscow was then given the ball. On the first down, the center was nervous and threw the ball over the quarterback's head for a forty yard loss. Moscow was held for two more downs, losing only four men. On an end-run Tutloff' gained sixty yards, but he was shot dead in his tracks. The ball was then taken by Petrograd. On the first down, Zitkoff, the giant fullback, was called back to punt from his 80-yard line. When he kicked, the ball went out of the field and seemed to be traveling toward the Steppes in Siberia. A new ball was then placed on Moscow's 80-yard line. After some rapid gun- fire, Moscow reached its ten-yard line. Here they lost the ball on a fumble. Zitkoff was again called back, this time for a place kick. The powerful fullback raised the ball far over the necessary distance, in all the ball traveled 160 yards. To keep the Moscow men from in- terfering with the kick, a machine gun was used to wipe out their advance. With all her men dead, Moscow was unable to finish the gameg Petrograd was thus the victor by a 3 to 0 score. N. WEINGARDEN. Mr. Hayes tto studentjs Aha! I see you're early of late.

It certainly has a reputation to be proud of, hav- ing been the chief club of Cass for nine years, and having for members such fellows as Archie Jordan, Harry Garman, John Hamel, etc. School life is well represented in the Club, as it draws its members from athletic teams and other school organizations. The aim of the Club is to promote clean speech, clean thought, clean athletics, clean scholarships, and to extend throughout the high school the high standards of Christian charac- ter. With this aim the Club tends to develop a fellow mentally, morally, and physically, in short, it builds up character. Weekly meetings of the Club, which are held at the Y every Thursday night. are very in- teresting as well as educational. Here current topics and topics concerning school life are brought up and discussed by all members. We always aim to have a good social time there, the social privileges include bowling, pool, bil- liards, swimming, etc. Every month a banquet is held at the Y for all the affiliated high school clubs in the city. Some of the best speakers in the country are present at these meetings, and any fellow who has attended them will tell you of the great times we have. Attend one of these banquets and see for yourself. Any fellow other than a first year student is eligible for membership in the Club. If you are really interested and would like to join, see any one of the officers or members and they will gladly supply you with an application blank. This month the Club loses several members, including three of its officers, by graduation. The graduating members extend their sincere wishes for the future success of the Club as they bid adieu to the Kas Tek Klub. Hzmom T. SHAW. THE 4 K -CLUB The 4 K Club, one of the outstanding clubs of Cass Tech, was recently organized by a number of very studious and popular students. Membership in this Club is limited to fellows having the second hour vacant. As a rule they are very studious and on good terms with the study hall teacher. One of the most important qualifications is a humorous nature and ability to laugh out loud without causing a disturb- ance. Meetings of this Club are held on Tues- days and Thursdays, the second hour in the library. All members of this club must sign their first initial 4 K when leaving the study hall. At a recent meeting the following offi- cers were elected: 4 K Lightbody, President: 4 K Shaw, Vice-Presidentg 4 K Haberer, Secretary: 4 K Mcllveen, Treasurer. The Club is rapidly developing and we al- ready have a large membership. ln a short time the 4 K Club will be the best club in Cass. Any fellow having second hour vacant is welcome to join us in our weekly meetings. Our motto is: Work when you work, but have a good time at the club meetings. Be a booster and get the spirit of the 4 K Club. 4 K SHAW, Vice-President. ALUMNI NOTES The Cass Tech Alumni Association held a party at Amity Temple on January 4.

HAROLD T. SHAW. GRADUATE'S THEATRE PARTY By WALTER Asn On Friday, Dec. 20, 1919, the Graduates of Jan. '20 held a very successful party at the Temple Theatre. The two attending teachers, Mr. Wolber and Mr. Hoyt, were presented with fountain pens as Christmas presents from the class. After a few enlightening remarks by Light- body and Thurman on the first act-the title by the way being, Jim, the.Jazz King -the curtain ran up. After a few seconds silence Betty Allen stifled a scream, for there was a bear on the stage. A close observer might have noticed a look of paternal responsibility in Al's eyes as he put his arm across her shoulder and quited her fears with a few soothing re- marks. It seems as though the bear was born in the cold and acquired the habit of shivering. Consequently, when he danced for us many peo- ple gained the false impression that he really knew how to shimmy. The next act was furnished by two Terp- sichorean artists. They were exceedingly light on their feet and by the jokes they cracked they must have been lighter in their heads. The third act was one laugh after another. The laughter was provoked by a contortionist. He did everything but tie himself in a knot. In the next act Mr. Wolber was given a very good example of perpetual motion, which he may improve up-on and eventually patent if it does not require the expenditure of too much money for chewing gum. Act five was a reproduction of an old lady's talk with her son in New York. The son's iirst warning to her was to keep away from the squirrel cages during feeding time. She also THE TRIANGLE 4l seemed very much worried over the where- abouts of a certain young gentleman who said he had a very nice room over a vacant lot. She said that she didn't know that there Wag any ,room over vacant lots, but he put her right by telling her that there was plenty of room over a vacant lot. Mr. Hoyt was very forcibly struck by the sixth act. Oh, no I don't mean to say that he was hurt, that is noticeably, but his eyesight may have been impaired by looking at the lithe figure of Beth Beri as she gamboled about the stage. Just after the act was over I heard Mr. Hoyt mumbling something about the ab- surbity of prohibiting the use of opera glasses in the theatre. Just at the opening of the next act, Schim- mel, who was sitting behind me, leaned over my shoulder and expressed his opinion of the contrite young lady on the stage as, A Bear on Wheels, and I feel perfectly safe in speak- ing for the rest of the class in upholding his opinion. It seems as though the young lady would like to revise McLaughlin's history, for she was always remarking that, They never wrote about that in History. The last act was furnished by Japanese acro- bats. They did some hair-raising stunts which no doubt will be reproduced in due time by, Lightbody and his supporting cast in English', Theatre, across the street. LIBRARY NOTES Much interest is being shown in the new Celestial Globe in the Library. Interested groups of students are now locating the winter constellations with the help of Miss Harvey, who has given several talks concerning the movements of the planets, etc. A set of books entitled, Employment, Man- agement and Safety Engineering, was sent to Mr. Allen by the American Correspondence School. On page sixty-six of volume three is the following reference to Cass: The Timken- Detroit Axle Works, Detroit Screw Works, and numerous other Detroit factories have actually developed first-class foremen from mediocre mechanics and machine hands through the ex- cellent courses provided at the Cass Technical High School. In the same book and on the same page will also be found a quotation from some of Mr. Allen's writings on the work being done at this school. On Thursday, December 18, 1919, Dr. Levi Rowland gave a very interesting informal talk on minerals. He had many interesting speci- mens, among them being some of the stones mentioned in the Revelations, a bit of Plymouth Rock, some platinum, and some very rare crys- tals. During the talk the Library was filled with interested listeners. LARGEST ASSORTME T OF TIRES Accessories Outside of Detroit M Mile Circle AT THE ACCESSORY STORE OF ROY A.

Scottish Chiefs -Porter. The chapters are short, so any one may read only a little at a time without having to inter- rupt some interesting thing. -Eng. VI, 6th hr. A very interesting volume of Scotland's fight for freed-om. It brings into the light her famed leaders and their brave deeds. -Eng. VI, 6th hr. The Pioneers -Cooper. A story of the early American days with the same characters as in the other Leather- stocking tales. -Eng. VI, 6th hr. This bo-ok, written by J. F. Cooper, is very well worded, consequently giving good pictures of the story. The natural instinct of wild animals is written of, along with the habits of men. -Eng. VI, 6th hr. The Virginian -Wister. I like this book because I am a great one for Western stories. This book has plain writ- ing and is easy to read. -WM. OTENBAKER, Eng. III. Old Indian Days - A very adventurous book centering upon a small tribe of Indians. A little romance is introduced. -D. DUNCAN, Eng. VI. Camping and Tramping' with Jwtooseveltu- John Burroughs. Several re-told trips of the former President into the wilds. It clearly explains his love for the great outdoors and his love for human na- ture. A good book for high school students, one which interests them in their own country. - E. BULRT, Eng. VI. Trails of the Pathyindersu-Grinnell, I consider this a fair book for those who like stories of adventure in the early days. It is also interesting because it tells about the West. -C. L. FOSTER, Eng. 'lThis story deals with history. It is inter- esting and put in an adventurous form, mak- ing it very exciting. -Wn.Lls BUCHBINDER, Eng. VI. My Home on the Field of Honour -Huard. I like this story because its characters are of the best and because Paris is mentioned. It gives you an idea of how the better class ot Frenchmen live. -C. CARTER, Eng. III. Zone Policeman 88 -Franck. As interesting a book as I have read. It is the kind that will make you stay up 'till midnight reading it. -I. Conxsrrzix, Eng. VI. The Riverman'-White. Good, because it is a story of the North and of the outdoors. -J. SMNIMQN, Eng. III. Gulli11er's Travels -Swift. I think 'Gulliver's Travels' is good because it contains good descriptions which make it sound real. His adventures in the land of small people are very good, because it shows the imaginative powers of the writer. -WM. S1c'HwAR'rz, Eng. VI. Lana of the Long Night -Du Chaillu. I think it is a very good book. It tells of outdoor life in Sweden and Norway. Any one can find out more about such foreign countries by reading such books. -K. BORTLE, Eng. III. The Three Musketeers -Dumas. The book, 'The Three Musketeersf and its sequels by Dumas, are good historical stories. They are in the form of adventurous and al- most hair-raising fiction. -L. GREGORY, Eng. VI. The Count of Monte Cristo -Dumas. This gives a very interesting view of the prison life of the seventeenth century and also an interesting love story. -L. STEPANELS, Eng. VI. Swiss Family Kobinson'-Wyss. This book gives a detailed story of the vic- tims of shipwreck who had to obtain their needs from nature. -L. STEPANELS, Eng. VI. The Wireless Man - I like this book because it gives you an idea of how messages are sent from a ship to any place you want them to go. -S. Pours, Eng. III. Tales of the Great War - I like the book, 'Tales of the Great War,' because it covers all phases of the war. It is very interesting, telling of the iighting on land, sea and air, and the spirit of those who fought. -ToM Rnnm, Eng. III. I like this book because there are many stories telling of the modern methods of fight- ing and the spirit of those who fight in the modern way. -M. ETTINGER, Eng. III.

This League is the flrst of its kind in the history of Cass. It is made up of teams picked from the Freshmen gym. classes. They are playing a series of basketball games, such as the interclass games, to decide a. little feud twhich is the best gym class?J. This little plan also brings out some promising material for the future Cass Basket- ball teams. The first games have been played and the Owls seem to be the strongest. Follow- ing are the scores: Owls 36 vs. Hawks 2. Elks 12 vs. Tigers 4. Rabbits 14 vs. Eagles 13. Crows 16 vs. Storks 3. Antelopes 8 vs. Bears 7. FOOTBALL LETTERMEN FOR 1919 The following men will receive letters for their services to the school: C. T.'s R's Service C. T. Lightbody, Capt. Caughey F. Barbas Mengel Sherman Gasser Meyers Butler Miers Herrington Mrkobrad Wells Hall Wilson Kukielka Plauman Walton Gregorich Younger Duncan bailey Palmer Sanderson Ladd Shaw Green L. Ash Kvitky Annis Rothwell TRACK TEAM, 1920 For the coming track season Cass Tech. will have a strong aggregation of tracksters, nearly all of whom have been on the team for two successive years. Besides these men there seems to be some very promising material in the Freshmen ranks. Although we have lost Tommy Clark, star pole vaulter, George Sills, and Ed Miers, we have such men as Karmsen, Palmer, Caughey, Ladd and several others to depend upon. We have also an excellent array of coaches, such as Mr. Gillard, Mr. Ott, Mr. Thierry, Mr. Katz, and a few others, who will endeavor to make the track team of 1920 a winning success. As our chances look rosy and everything is running in tip-top shape, everybody should be out to practice at the end of the 1920 basketball season, so as to be ready and meet the schedule which will be brought before us ere long. SPORT Enrron. , INTERCLASS BASKETBALL The annual interclass basketball games have been started and the way things look the Sopho- mores seem to be having everything their own way, for they have won all their games. The Seniors, who are a close second, are out to avenge their defeat, which the Sophs adminis- tered to them. The second half of the series promises to be a hot affair, for the Seniors are out to win the championship, which they have done every year since they were Freshmen. The surprise of the series was the victory of the Freshmen over the haughty Juniors. This was the first game won by a Freshman team since 1917. They are coming strong, so the other teams had better beware. The following are the scores and percentages for the first half of the series: Scores: December 2, 1919-Slophs. 13 vs. Fresh. 0. Seniors 8 vs. Juniors 2. December 9, 1919-Seniors 15 vs. Fresh. 2. Sophs. 18 vs. Juniors 5. December 16, 1919-Sophs. 10 vs. Seniors 4. Fresh. 18 vs. Juniors 4. Percentages: Won Lost Pct.

The game promises to be a hot affair, for both teams seem to be evenly matched. Cass Tech. is out for revenge over that 13 to 9 defeat of last year. Since that last game the Green and White beat the Red and Gray in baseball 7 to 6, and held them to a 27 to 0 win in football. The scores seem to be coming our way lately in our tussles with the Colts, so they had better watch out when we play them on the thirtieth. Coach Thierry and the boys are not afraid of Northwestern or any school in the state this year, so everybody out to that game and let's R I A N G L E show them that old Cass SPIRIT, for Cass will not leave the floor beaten. Sroirr EDITOR. 1920 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE At a meeting of the 1919 football men Digby Duncan, our plucky and hard fighting guard, was elected captain of the 1920 team.
