He snapped and flung it from his hand, And lowering crept away and left the field. Then came the king's son, wounded, sore bestead, And weaponless, and saw the broken sword, Hilt buried in the dry and trodden sand, And ran and snatched it, and with battle shout Lifted afresh, he hewed his enemy down, And saved a great cause on that heroic day.

LONGFELLOW LITERARY CLUB On the sixteenth of September, the Juniors assembled to conduct their first meeting, the purpose of which was to organize the Class Club and start the Booster Ball a rolling. As a result of this meeting, the Longfellow Literary Club became an active and vital part of the Catholic Central High School stu- dent body. Every association, no matter what its name or character, has a special aim or object in view when it becomes an established organization. So the L. L. C. had a two-fold purpose,-first, to promote the welfare of its loved Alma Mater by instilling into the hearts of its members a love for and an appreciation of good reading, and secondly, to boost and help the school grow by lending both moral and material support. As a means to this end, the L. L. C. held its lit- erary and business meetings each month. Courage! Loyalty! Truth! VVhat more suitable motto could we have chosen to spur up on in the at- tainment of our desired end? Courage to do and dare great things for our beloved C. C. H. S.! Loyalty to all her noble lessons of virtue and manly deeds, of Giving not Having, Serving not Getting! And Truth, that guiding spirit that should ever prompt us to breathe her sacred name with respect and loving reverence, letting no words but the good, the beautiful, and the true escape our lips when speaking of her. Courage, Loyalty, Truth,-these three shall ever be our companions and guides when in defense of our cherished Alma Mater we are called upon to stand up for her inalienable rights and proclaim her unparalleled glory. May the Juniors of 1929 imbibe this same spirit from us and continue the work which we have so successfully begun! To arms! To arms! The foe's in sight, Oh see the flash of armor bright! So goes the tale of ancient lore Of how a Gothic army bore Omunsuspecting host at night. Now strike my men with all your might 'Tis only bravery can fight Amid this horrid bloody gore To arms! To arms! Consider first of all your right Then vanquish Enemy, your blight, Ah, then to victory we'll soar And glad you'1l be our shield. you wore. To arms! To arms! -ROSE GOCKEL '25. THIRTY-NINE
