We like a person of a modest conduct and are immediately attracted to him or her, while there is nothing that arouses within us the desire to do violence as the roaming about of a person with a much stressed iegoi. We are inclined to call such a person a Hswell-head . We are inclined to show a dislike for the one and then much admire the other. Sometimes it seems that both those words, modesty and deceit are much abused. But not very seldom is it found that the modesty which we so admired in the one person was just another name for timidity, while upon investigation we found that the conceited person is brim-full of confidence in himself. We know best what our ability is and how good we are at what we do, and if we fearfully hold ourselves forth, under the disguise of modesty, we haven't one honest complaint to make if the world accepts us at our own value, and decides unfortunately that we are of the inferior grade. An old-time banker was asked how he had made his initial start in the banking business, and this was what he said: I rented an old store room and hung out a sign informing the public that I was now in the banking business. The very next day a man came to me and deposited S100 with me, and the following day another man deposited the same amountfso, I acquired confi- dence in myself and put S50 of my own money into itln Now wouIdn't it be marvelous if we could gain confidence in ourselves as did this banker, and then feel that we could not lose no matter what the future prospects may show. So here is some sound advice: I-IAVE CONFI- DENCE IN YOURSELF AND YOU ARE BOUND T0 WIN! SEE 35Hll1K tlinntinundb More failures are due more to laclc of personal confidence than to the laclt of ability, With most of us who possess a limited ability, all that We believe is necessary is, first ol all that We can really do what vve set out to do, and secondly, the steadiness to believe that vve can do the thing in no matter what circumstances we are in. We very often see students and others laii in test or examinations, because they claim Hthey get nervous, excited, and nearly go to piecesf' The World today is lull of people with proven ability, but when they are given a chance to prove their ability they tall down considerably. If these persons could only convince themselves that they have ability and are able to do a thing the strain and the stress would be gone completely, tor they vvould sit down quietly and do what they lcnovv they could do. Let us lor instance, talce a dog as an example. We will say that this particular dog has never seen vvater before, and he is thrown into the vvater, he will immediately paddle himself to shore quietlyl There is also as vve lcnovv such a thing as over-doing our ability, but there is little doubt that many ol us suller from this particular disease, especially so when We are told that vve are to pass a certain examination to test our abil- ity. The only antidote that we lcnovv of is a seasonable dose of sell-assurance --an honest, reasonable confidence in our ability of doing a certain taslc, and a steady insistence to all and particularly to ourselves, BERNARD PAUL RUTZ Sacred Heart A great man is made up of qualities that meet or make great occasions. A cheery good-natured, readiness to help a fellow student by sharing the larger portion of class burdens, and a genuine persistence and talent for study, introduce you to Bernard. These qualities gained for him the well-deserved admiration of his class-mates. A chap of high character and noble ideals, Bernard was elected President of his class in the Freshman year and has continued to act efficiently in that capacity throughout his remaining three years. l-le stands high above the average in all his studies, but in Chemistry he is another Pasteur. l-lis favorite sport is basketball, a game which he played with the same vigor and success that marked his scholastic endeavors. Bernard, C.

It is noted how many frienc's he has won in his four years at C. C, l-l. Besides being a humorist, he is the Barrymore of the Senior Class. As a worker on committees, he resembles a broken drum-can't be beat. He kept himself in good physical trim by running to the office to ring the bell at the end Of each period. Pleasure and recreation have never hampered him in his studies, for he made out well in them all. l-le plans to enter Civil Service, success and happiness in your future work, fi: .I A, Q? BERNARDINE ELIZABETH ROYER Sacred Heart Wee and small Yet loved by all. Crowned, i'Miss Columbia , Allentovvns most popular Catholic young lacly. Pretty, demure, with a quaint, fresh smile and a cheery greeting for her many friends and classmates. Yet we would not have you thinlc of her in these terms alone, because with it all there is brain power and intelligence and a good sense of the right use of these qualities, That these qualities are recognized by the Seniors at large is proved by the confidence they have displayed in electing Bernardine Vice-President three successive years. Always the same quietly efficient and sweetly gracious girl,-her work and her class spirit will linger fondly in our memories. .x 4.5,-P.-.4,l. ALFRED JOSEPH SAKS Sacred Heart Earnestness and foolishness are mingled here. ln Alfred We have a quaint, lilfable fellow who mixes a little humor with his studies. Because of his height and bearing he would loolc splendid in a West Point uniform. He is a thoroughly consistent student, batting high in all his studies. He posi- tively refuses to become nervous or excited over any untoward incident in the day's happenings. He proceeds in everything at a leisurely pace. His favorite study is Problems of Democracy. -aivff ' A , KJ i GRACE AMARILLA HART St. Lavvrence, Catasauqua l have a heart with room for every ioyf' A demure brunette with a lovv soothing voice, bespeaking her good breeding-that's Grace.

We can truthfully say that Grace is one who has spread good cheer in our darkest moments. Grace is our most proficient stenographer and typist and as Secretary of our class performed the duties of that office with her characteristic ability.

Wheels, slcyroclcets, thunderboltsl Peace and quiet are shattered as he bursts upon the scene, John is noisy, yes, but in his scholastic activities his work was always aloove par, due to his great interest and the whole-hearted attention he gate to any- thing he undertoolc. l-lis ability in sports seems to come naturally and his slcill often aided the C.

There are some fellows who take a great delight in arguing. James belonged to this clientele. l-le would start a debate with someone on some subject of little importance and usually end up with the question, Why? Nevertheless he was well liked by his fellow-students and we know he takes With him many fond memories of his Alma Mater. Catherine, our laughing, loquacious Senior! Full of wit and humor, fond of a practical joke, absolutely unable to repress a giggle, regardless of the outcome. But, ofcourse this is no reflection on her as a student, for she is both capable, indus- trious, and accomplished.

HE day when we were to become high school students was eagerly awaited by every parochial school boy and girl, since it welcomed each one to enter the portals of dear Central Catholic l-ligh. As is usual with freshmen, we were green, lost and scared one Septem- ber day baclc in 1999. Under the capable guidance of our beloved pastor and esteemed teachers we succeeded in becoming organized. Qur initiation day was a red letter day. in our more serious mood we chose navy blue and silver as our class colors, Another big feature for us was the election of class officers. We made a good start, but met unfavorable November weather. Our first reports were real signals of distress. Were we discouraged? Not at all. Wholeheartedly we set to worlc to master our difficult studies, malcing the most of our time and opportunities. Just when we were meeting with real success in our study of Latin we had the misfortune to lose our teacher, because of illness. Sometime lost as a result had to be made up later by ina tensive study. ln the second year the class was divided into two distinctive groups, forming a Sophomore boys and a Sophomore girls class. This was a great boon for us as it enabled the teachers to give more attention to the individual. Although we were not quite as serious minded this year, we, nevertheless, earned for ourselves an enviable record. lt was during this year that our class came intothe limelight in sports by winning the lnterclass League Championship. The .lunior year found the class reunited. There were but twenty- seven of the original number left. The following officers were chosen by the class: Bernard Ruiz, president, Bernadine Royer, Viceapresident, Melchior Engiert, Treasurer, and Grace l-lart, Secretary. After quite a scramble, class rings were decided upon and we settled down to wait for Santa to bring iHi5IUI'Q tfiuntinucrlb them. The worlc of this year was characterized by a sincere determination to accomplish something worth while. Although we were handicapped by the untimely illness of our English and l-listory teacher, we managed to succeed. During this year our class won some distinction in dramatics, music and sports, foward the close of the year we held our important social event in the form of a farewell dance to the Seniors. It was rated a very elegant affair. With the beginning of the fourth and last year we were loolcing about for new worlds to conquer, There was a great interest shown in our work and we made rapid strides in practically all of our studies, Skill in dramatics, oratory, debating, and sports also showed marlted results. We seemed to realize that this would probably be the last chance for a formal education for many of us and therefore tried to malce the most of it. Now we are ready to graduate. Some will continue their education in advanced institutions of learning, others will go out at once to malce their marlc in the world. It is with no little regret that we leave the scenes of our four happy years together, now fast passing into memories. We have tried to be loyal to our school and to each other, We have done our best to support all school activities. We have had our ambitions and have realized them. We have had our trials and have overcome them. We have been far from per- fect, but we have tried to do our best. As we go out from dear old Central Catholic l-ligh we realize more and more the necessity for co-operation and service to others. We hope that as we go on in life we will continue to live up to the motto: 'ilfnergy wins the wayu. We hope that the classes which follow will excel us in every way in order to lceep pace with the growthof Central Catholic l-ligh, We leave hoping that in later years we may prove worthy of our Alma Mater.

But in recent years, tlfme industrial depression coupled witlm technological unemployment lmas made tlmis problem of vital importance of everyone. 'lfmere are two clmief classes of poverty. ffmese are lcnovvn as voluntary and involuntary poverty. Voluntary poverty is sub-divided into private and public poverty. private poverty consists in tl'me private renunciation of time riglmt to private cwnerslmip. public poverty results from tlmetalcing ofa solemn or simple vovv to tfmat effect. involuntary poverty, fmovvever, is tlme lcind tlmat demands our attention. 'lfmis can be divided into pauperism, vvlmose victims are support- ed at tl'me public expense, and indigence, vvlmiclm is a prolonged laclc of the essentials to elementary fmealtfm, comfort, and decency. It is difficult to estimate time extent of poverty. It fmas been said tlmat at least one out of every seven people in time United States does not fmave enougfm of tl'me necessities of lite to enable lmim to maintain time desirable standard of lmealtfm and vvorlcing efficiency. 'lfmat is to say, tfmat, before tfme present business depression, tfmere were at least ten million poor in time United States. flmis number lmas been so greatly augmented in recent years tfmat tl'me problem of caring for time needy fmas assumed gigantic proportions. llme causes of poverty may be divided into tfmree groups-personal, social and pfmysical. llme personal causes include, siclcness and accident, causing inability to vvorl4, intemperance or gambling, extravagance, laziness, bodily or mental defects or unattractive personality, and general ignorance laclc of specific preparation for any occupation. l-leredity and environment must also be talcen into consideration. Social causes embrace tfme follovving: War, stril4es, lovv Wages, business depression, fmigfm prices, bad working conditions, poor lmousing, vvfmicfm causes sickness and accident, and irregular employment in seasonal trades. The pfmysical causes are tfmose over vvlmiclm man has little or no control, suclm as floods, eartlmqualces, crop failures due to bad weatfmer, and time lilce. -lfmese, tfmouglfm not affecting tl'me same people continually, may cause serious distress vvfmen tl'mey do come. lime effects of poverty are Widespread. personal suffering and moral degeneration are time usual effects. A poor person is more lil4ely to commit crime tfman one vvlmo lmas no economic worries. Pxnotlmer serious effect tfmat is lilcely to follovv is an industrial depression tlmrouglm lackofpurclmasing povver. UUKPIQ tliuntinutrlb The burden of supporting these people naturally falls upon the community in the form of taxes for poor relief. Two sources of relief are possiblefpublic aid and private charity. Public aid may talce the form of lndoor or Qutdoor relief. lndoor relief is that which is given to the poor in institutions established for that purpose. Outdoor relief is that which is given to the poor in their own homes as food, clothing, fuel, or medical care. lndoor aid is best where help is required permanently, outdoor, where help is required but temporarily. Much oftheoutdoorrelief is done by different religious denominations and charitable institutions. The worlt of the Catholic Church in this field is most outstanding. lt is hard to find a definite remedy for poverty, because of the variety of causes. Education, however, will do much to relieve or remove many of the personal and some of the social causes. Social legislation will also be an important factor in remedying this evil. It is now preventing to some degree intemperance, poor housing, child labor, and the immigration of unclesirables. Minimum wage laws, governmental regulation of industry, social insurance forsiclcness, accident, old age, and even unemployment may also be desirable. Formerly, poverty was loolced upon as a necessary evil, existing, perhaps, that the more fortunate people might develop and practice the virtue of charity. But today it is thought of more as a l4ing of social disease to be prevented as far as possible. The government must aid people who are trying honestly to improve their economic conditions through their own energy or through co- operation, and it must relieve those who are unable to provide for themselves. But public or private charity can never supplant individual and family thrift, wise spending and investment. BERNARD P. RUTZ, '33 iwlusif what is thz purpnsz uf Munir HE Word Umusicff- like many others-has in the course of time acquired a multiplicity of meanings. The visionary speaks of the Hmusicn of the spheres, poets refer to the Hmusicf' of their verses, but in its most common use the Word indicates a combination of melody, harmony and rhythm. Strange as it may seem, in view of its intangible nature, music, admits of these three divisions. lts purely utilitarian form is that in which melody and harmony are irrelevant, vvhile rhythm is the predominating feature. The drum corps of a marching regiment makesumusicn though it produces neither melody nor harmony, it has the power of regulating the soldiers' step, because rhythmfthe animal inheritance of musicaacts most directly upon our motoric nerve centers. It melody and harmony are added to mere rhythm in such a vvay as to still permit the rhythm to predominate, the result is a march or a piece of dance music of the lowest order, unless the tvvo added elements are of such a high esthetic quality as to make an appeal to the imagination. The song that is advertised as the Hhit of the seasonu, the music of theatri- cal shovvs, act undoubtedly upon our imaginationf but the pictures that these things conjure up in our mnds either are not to be mentioned or are of so fleeting a nature as to be of no other use to us than help us to kill time. Only when music stirs our soul to thoughts or feelings that in themselves are higher than that of the workaday vvorldfonly then it rises to the plane of Upleasuref' for only then it is Mart . If music is sometimes called the Hdivinef' art it is perhaps because it does seem like a divine attribute that listening to good music makes us feel as if we were holding the key to the deepest secrets of our soul, secrets known only to God. We are, hovvever, so bound up with the visible, tangible world vve live in, our emotions are so inextricably intervvoven with the occurrences, surroundings, hopes, fears and aspirations of our daily life as to induce us to dress the feelings aroused by music in the garb of our personal experiences. This exegesis, hovvever, is merely a by-product, one vvhich unfortunately, causes people to misunderstand the function and office of music and art in general. To listen to music vvith the hope of understanding it better by attaching a Mstoryu to it is just as foolish as the attempt would be to gain a better appreciation of a painting by fastening a music box to the picture. what is tha lpurpnsz nf itilusit Ciiuntinuzrlb What a priceless boon music, good music, is to usl Jewels are worn to dazzle the eyes ol others, treasure must be spent to be enjoyed, but music malces no such demands. It is our laithlul companion from our cradle to our grave, it is with us in our joys and it loresalces us not in our darkened hours, in our direst, most painful isolation. When those we love have passed away, when we are so misunderstood that relatives and friends turn away from us in merciless prejudice, when we are alone in our little abode, alone with our distress, alone with God, music will softly spread its magic wings and lan away all earthly sorrow, it will cool our tear-smarting eyelids, console our heart, placate our soul, lend our thoughts heavenward for new hopes and resolutions and bless us to lace the world anew. l-low can we ever thanlc God enough lor this most sublime and sweetest of l-lis gifts.

X ANNA M HEBER iihtmistrg l-llf first part of the twentieth century saw enormous developments in the chemical industry throughout the world. During the Great War, the needs of the time compelled a self-reliance that placed our chemical industries on a firm foundation, both as to a variety of products and capacity for produc- tion. ln addition to the poison gases, explosives, and many other chemical products used directly in warfare, this country was obliged to produce enormous quantities of glass, dyes, photographic chemicals, and pharmaceutical preparations, which formerly were imported from Europe. As a permanent result of this situation, we realize that we are not compelled to rely upon foreign nitrates and potash deposits. Processes have been developed for malting from the air nitrogen compounds suitable for plant food. The worlcing of certain saline deposits and, more particularly, the re- covery ofthe potassium compounds from the flue dust of cement lcilns and blast furnaces may yield thousands of tons of potash. Dyes of excellent quality are made in such quantity that we export to other countries after supplying our own needs. The United States now bids fair to become a strong competitor for that trade in the marlcets of the world. American porcelain, high grade chemical glassware, optical glass, and silica products are manufactured in large quantities, lmproved types of chemical machinery and the construction of vast plants have brought chemical manufacturers to a foremost place in the country's industries. The establish- ment of chemistry on a sound basis as one of the great permanent industries of the country, equipped for production on a large scale, has increased the demand for slcilled chemists and trained chemical engineers, as well as for a host of intelligent workers in the plants. The dependence of the country on the services of the chemist, however, is not yet fully appreciated, nor is there sufficient general realization of the additional contributions chemistry may still malce, not only to our physical comfort, but also to our intellectual and our spiritual welfare.

SIESSMAYEP Q WAV W ii le 5 W, N Ll ircigrtmf i t g c, QUACVQWA 2 'Ihr 'list uf nnks CQKS are the basis of all education. The child must masterthe mechanics of reading, writing and their lcindred subjects before it can malce any progress in the elements of the arts and sciences. lhese mechanics and the elements of the subjects which they open to the beginner are contained in boolcs, therefore booles are the priceless heritage bequeathed to us by the ages. It is our duty to posterity to transmit them, not unimpaired, but enlarged and enriched by our experience and wisdom. The architect, in planning his building, seelcs a suitable foundation for the structure. It he intends to build a massive edifice, he digs deep, until he comes to solid roclc. l-le then lays a broad Wall of stones, held together by mortar, strong enough to bear the weight of the building. l-le tal4es unusual care to see that this vvorlr is well done, so that the structure will endure until the elements disintegrate the materials of which it is composed. Equal or even greater care should be tal4en in laying the foundation for an education. A human life and a human soul will rest upon it, and any defects in the foundation may lead to the vvrecl4 of the one and bring the other to perdition. The person who intends to lay the foundation of an education that can grow until it brings the possessor into complete harmony with the world, and a true and lasting lcnovvleclge and love of its Author, must learn, in childhood, the art of mastering the essentials of the texts that are used in acquiring the ele- ments, Unless he learns this, and learns it vvell, the structure will rest on quiclc- sand, and attempts to add to it vvill be fruitless. When the student leaves high school or college, vvith the elements mastered, the foundation is laid, and the individual is ready to erect the building which is to rest upon it. It he closes his boolcs novv and thinlcs his education is complete, he will have only a cellar to live in,and his life vvill be as lovv as his house. l-le must realize that boolcs are only of primary importance and that his education will be complete only when he has added to it day by day with the labor of his life. ln professional life, boolcs are absolutely essential, and must be used by the practitioner, just as the artisan uses his tools. No teacher is worthy of the name who has no book-case Whose con- tents treat of professional subiects. Would you entrust your business to a 'cllht fltlst uf Banks tiiuntinuuib lawyer who practiced law without a library? Gr would you place your life in the hands of a doctor who carried all he knew, or all he intended to know, in his headfwhich can forget as easily as any other head? The books which treat of a manls profession are of first importance. 'lhey should occupy a prominent place in his life and he should spend every leisure hour among them. They equip him for the work he is to do, and he will do that work according as he uses or neglects his books, The better he is equipped, the quicker and more easily will he be able to work, yet he should remember that mere equipment for work is not an education. The scholar finds recreation in books and enriches, broadens, and deep- ens his life during those leisure moments, which the frivolous man throws away on idleness and dissipation. l-le finds his pleasure living in the past with eminent men, famous in his own line of work. This is recreation of the highest order, and he who delights in it will grow until he is like the character who inspired him. This is the germ of civilization, and as he sees it grow and blossom, he learns to nourish it, and add to its product. The world is better for this type of man, for he has left his impress upon it, This man can work, not only with facility, but with absolute accuracy, for he knows the history of its growth, the reason for its principles, and the lives and motives of the men who developed it. l-le knows its relation to other professions and to life. l-lis wide knowledge permits him to rise above mercenary considerations and allows him to see that he is a servant of the Great Creator, and that from the fullness of his knowledge and the great- ness of his power, he must give his best to the cause for which he works. Books will be this man's friends. l-le will read them often, and digest and assimilate them, without following them blindly. Perhaps he has not many but even the few are of the best. They will be selected with discrimination. They will furnish facts and toad for thought, which he will make part of him- self. l-le will not read thousands of volumes of trash written to amuse the idle and for the pecuniary returns which the thoughtless pay for amusement. l-lis books will be those of a man of culture, whose tastes are fastidious, and his pleasures, intellectual. Books are the basis of all culture, Altho travel adds to culture, and often gives the traveler the appearance of culture, no one can be truly cultured who is not well-read. lntensive reading makes one observant, and observa- tion shows the use and beauty of all things, animate and inamimate, it brings out the dependence of one on the other and the harmony of the whole. Books bring man in contact with the good, the beautiful, and the wise, and unites him by bonds of sympathy to his fellow man, plants, and animals. They enable him to see the unity of the world, the perfection of the design, and to give his heart and soul to the work which the Great Designerhas set for his hands and brain to do. CATHERINE A.

The entire team had to be readjusted with eager and inexperienced fellows. The team went off to a flying start, defeating the Stiles C. C. 19-O. As the season advanced, it was apparent that the new, inexperienced players were capable of holding their own against the Strong teams they were called upon to play. Not a person who saw the games would have said that our fellows did not worlc hard to hold the line or malce a first down. With just a little more luclc, defeat would have been avoided a few times. ln short, their steadiness was due to hard daily practice and plenty of the proper fighting spirit. We can say as much for them as for the best team: they lcept scrapping till the final whistle blew. All the games were attended by an enthusiastic crowd of rooters, both students and outsiders, who crowded around the field every Saturday afternoon. With the class of '33, will go a number of outstanding players. Among these are Captain Magee, Wilgruber, Seng, and Wickel. ln spite of this loss, we feel sure that Mr, Kelly,with good material at his disposal,will show great- er achievements in the coming season.

With spring the young athleteis mind lightly turns to thoughts of baseball. But while we are watching the ball team swat the ball, let us not forget the achievement of the basket-ball boys, who gave all they had to keep our colors waving. ln our record of games won and lost, one might say that we had a pretty good season after all, l.et us face the facts as they appeared. We opened the season with a thrilling Contest with St. Maryis High from Coaldale and won by the close score of 34-32 Our luck continued for five games in which we defeated Coaldale, Alumni, St. Johns, Shenandoah, and Mt. Airy. At this time we journeyed to Coaldale to be defeated by the score of 3'ifi4. After this defeat the squad braced up and ran again for seven victories straight. Defeating Lansford, Ashland CQD, Easton, -lamaqua, port Carbon and Mauch Chunk, On February 7 we met with one of the greatest opponents on the schedule that of Allentown High, ln this combat we were defeated by 35-Q7, at half time the opponents led by four points. The next five teams on our schedule met with defeat lheywere, Lansford, Emaus, Shenandoah, Easton, and Port Carbon. The season coming to a close we traveled to Emaus and suffered a defeat of Q5-Q4 after a hard battle and an extra period of play. The next team to fall in defeat was Mauch Chunk the score being 'I4-'lO. We ended the season by losing to lamaqua and beating Shenandoah C95 and Easton. The seasonis work was a success, because the boys gave all they had willingly. Who can do more? The followers of Catholic Highis fighting basket-ball team certainly must bestow upon the members of the squad their congratulations upon their splendid showing of these boys in all the games of the season. We made a good showing in the Regional Tournament held on the Central Catholic floor, but we had a streak of tough luck that caused us to fall before St. Jeromeis of lamaqua causing our elimination from the Tournament. Along with the season of Basket-ball also went the backbone of the team namely Wilgruber, Magee, Wickel, Seng and Rutz. Many a game would have been lost had these boys not showed their ability to win. But their time being up they must leave us in the hope that Central Catholic High will stand out in years to come, Baskzthall LINE-UP KOGELMAN ...,..... Forwa rd GERGLY ..., ....

More and more people appeared and finally l realized that this was a fashionable afternoon 'ifxt l-lomen. The pretty gestures of the central figure fascinated me. Where had l seen those tiny hands? At last l recognized the woman. The little hesitating ton es of her voice despite her marvelous poise, betrayed her. It was Anna Marie Brennan-yes, she of the cute dirrples. l could readily see now that she was the adored wife of that handsome, distinguished young man, playing the part of the perfect host. Evidently Anna Marie had done well in her marriage. Memories came crowding back to me. Memories of busy school days. l.et,s see, who were those people who seemed so familiar and indispensible? What had happened to them? What had happened to Bernardine Royer? She was a sweet thing, Almost as if mental telepathy had been exercised the scene faded again.

John Wilgruber was talldng to his boys. l-le loolced every bit as great as we expected him to be. It was evident that his players trusted him. They looked ready to die for him-or anyway- to win the game for him. If John and Clayton turn out as good athletes as they themselves were, they can be proud of them. The whistle blew-i Once more the scene vanished. To my amazement I found I was breathless. I had a little time to recompose myself, until the future was again displayed before my eyes. AhfWagnerl The beautiful music of the prelude filled the room. Curtains parted on a massive stage. Enter-Esther Siessmayer. Who would ever have expected Esther to possess such stage presence? When she began to sing, I could barely move, her voice held me spellbound. As the last note died away, deafening applause resounded all about me. With a voice lilce that, Esther would soon be at the tcp of her profession, With the speed of light, I was transported by radio to a hospital. At the deslt was a sweet-faced nun. She looked rather familiar-Now-Who' Ch, Anna Sobchalc. She always was a demure little thing. She was directing some visitors, HMarvin Wicl4el,'why yes-heis in room 328. Yes, heis getting along nicely. Why haven't you read how it happened? l'le was flying his usual air mail route, when a bandit, stowed away in the rear of the cabin, held him up from behind.

Miss Gehringer will talce you up to his room. And advancing toward the visitors was Mary Gehringer. I could see by the admiring loolc ofthe nun that Mary had become very competent in her chosen profession. Mary s sympathetic nature should carry her far in that career. 01855 PFUDIIKEQ Clinntinundl Cn the stairs as l followed the course ol the visitors and nurse, l saw another nurse.

From the loolcs of that home, helll have it. There was another dim interval, and when the picture returned l saw a monastery garden. A young priest was wallcing slowly down the path, reading his office. l recognized him immediately by his earnest, devout countenance. Anthony Schwoyer had Finally made up his mind to enter the priesthood. We lcnow he'll do his worlc there well. There was such a long interval before another scene appeared, that l thought itwas all over, but linally l saw a steamer, it was somewhere lar out, because there was no land to be seen in any direction. Standing by the railing were two slim figures, both with slightly red hair. The taller one was spealcing vivaciously, Why, it was Anna Olejaclc. What was she doing in the middle oi the Atlantic? 'lm on my way to Paris, For my lirmii, she was saying. Every year l must go over, and buy imported gowns. Yes, l'm a buyer, you might even call me chief buyer . Anna certainly had an appropriate position in that line. She always had good taste in clothes. Now, who could that other red-head be? l could not place her until suddenly she winlced.

The worlc is very interesting, l heard her say. l lcnow sheis a good secretary but l feel that shels even better as a companion. ln a few minutes l was loolting at another picture. What was that, a theatre? The screen showed me a booth. ln it, worlting the camera, was Robert Schoepple. What a novel occupation, and very profitable too, il his appearance count lor anything. Another complete change ol view. This was a busy sketching room in one of the greatest newspaper offices in the country. There was a close- up ol a pretty blonde-she loolced too ornamental to be useful, but when l Glass pruphtrg tiiuntinutdl saw the renowned name in the corner, Clare Vollmer, l knew that here was one girl who could combine the two. After a moment, she rose and walked swiftly toward an imposing door marked uprivaten. She hesitated slightly, then entered quietly. A tall polished young man was dictating rapidly. A return look at the door showed, Melchior Englerti' printed in a corner. A reporter, eh, and a successful one too, with a private office and secretary. By the way that secretary must be good to take dictation at such a rate. l saw then, that it was Geraldine Crout. She always wasinterested in commer- cial subjects. And so she and Clare managed to keep together after all? Well, keep on, girls, you have the stuff in you to help you make good. Qnce more, a blank disc. With startling clearness and suddenness, a speedway was depicted. All the roar and excitement that accompanies races assailed me. l awoke from the semi-lethargy that had fallen on me and sat upright, tense and expectant. l had not long to wait. A thundering report of a pistol, and amid blinding smoke, numerous racing cars started out, Finally one of them forged definitely ahead, and stayed to the fore. My radio took me almost to the car. The passage of years and oggles did much to puzzle me, but a close scrutiny assured me it was Ralph grey. The crowd was cheering him on. l can see l3alph's going to be famous. The panorama, this time was familiar-oh-it was Allentown-Mun Ienberg College. ln one of the class rooms, I could see a woman teaching a Physics class. Without the slightest hesitation or surprise, I realized it was Cgtlrierine Ward. l always thought she'd do something with her mathematical a lity. The next scene revealed a rustic home, all covered with vines. Behind it, l could see a woman feeding chickens. Close view showed that it was Stella Grupp. So few of the school girls had adopted domesticity. Stella looked very happy and contented. lt looked as though she got iust as much out of life as those who had gone farther afield. Now my radio showed me a lonely station. A tall dark man was standing there, with satchels at his feet, waiting for a train that could already be heard, l-le stooped to pick up one of the bags. A. S. was engraved on it. In pickin it up he dropped a note book. On it was printed Utlniversal Finance go.-Alfred Saks, General Manager. Sounds imposing. My next close-up was of a room-well lighted-verylstudious look- ing. No wonder. At a business-like desk, sat our marvel, Anna l-leber. She was writing, concentrating intensely. Copying? Qh, no. mlranslations of Early German l.iterature . l'low worth-while, and how like our Anne. Glass ruphcrg crsnnrimifni The next picture showed me ilovversfand flowers. l regretted that I could not smell over the radio. It was an immense green house, Cn a panel above the door vvas the inscription, State Conservatory oi Flowers, Catherine lAxnnas,fl3rop. What a nice occupation. The next scene was laid in Washington D. C. in the l-louse oi Represen- tatives, to be explicit, For once, the Congressmen seemed to be all attention. And such a tiny person to hold them spell-boundl Pita lmhoi was arguing against ivvilight Sleep, and from all appearances'-gaining her point. Next l saw the capitol. On the grounds l could see a group oi men surrounding a microphone. Hihe president of the United States will now present the Nobel Prizefu The president stepped Forward. Believe it or not, it was Bernard Rutz, our ovvn class president lor tour years in high school, and now serving another four year term. On that amazing climax, the scene laded entirely. What satisfactory endings for our classmates, if only they come true. -- CATHERINE A, ANNAS Name Ralph Frey James Schubert Anthony Schwoyer Clayton Magee Melchoir Englert Marvin Wickel Allred Salts Bernard Rutz John Wilgruber Catherine Annas Anna Marie Brennan Rita lmhol Catherine Ward Anna Qlejaclt Anna l-leloer Bernardine Royer Clare Vollmer Geraldine Crout Valeria Sweeney Grace l-lart Stella Grupp Mary Gehringer Esther Siessmayer Robert Schoepple Gerald Seng Anna Soochalc Glass Qhituarg Died Of Qverworlc Qratoritis Brolcen l-leart lngrown toe-nails Curling lrons lallcing too much Misplaced gu nshot Athletels head Changing a tire Last Words Give me Nbutts' Friends, Romans, countrymen Cut if out Put me in coach The Ford runs pretty good yet. l don't wish to inlringe upon your generosity Buy an Essex and never he sorry l donxt lcnow Come to my country sometime. lfnnui Elaa-lblaa-blaa Qversleep We overslept Forgetlulness l forgot to do the last question Writer's cramps l-li-yah lfxhaustion Reduce the homework Brilliance Oh, thatls easy Being crowned Qh, l lcnow it, Drawing The year boolc is linished Gossiping l meanfah Reciting German Ahfgo way Mistalces in type Qr sumpthin Nonchalance llm here because l'm here l3oet's colic Oh, llm sorry Complications ls my nose shiny? l.oclcjaw Vas you dere Sharlie?
