Help us to go on our respective ways, Knowing that fairness and virtue Live in Truth, and that To love is to obey. Oh, give us to remember The happy days we knew! TXTELVIN OTTERSON AT ARLINGTON The auditorium needed no decoration to make it look festive. The walls were ornate with gilded artistry. The ceiling was rich with golden scrolls and whorls against a background rich blue that sug- gested the cloudless evening sky. Here and there stars caught on the gold leaf of their five points stray beams from the giant spotlight. Huge chandeliers of crystal caught the colors of the spotlights and footlights so keenly that each little pendant flashed a tiny rainbow and the whole was like a dazzling Niagara of jewels. To all this brilliant beauty youthful enthusiasm had added balloons of every shape and size, attached to the wall brackets. Long, vari-colored streamers, suspended by invisible wires from the cathedral-like ceiling formed an arbor- like network overhead. Every guest who passed through the arched doorway was carried by the breath-taking splendor. Members of vic- torious and losing casts alike thrilled with rapture but rarely experienced. Every face radiated happiness and ex- pressed complete abandonment to the joy of the evening. The rich colors of the evening gowns, the fragrance of the corsages, the ines- capable slight formality of an occasion where so many were strangers to each other, all contributed to a sort of grand- eur which kept level the youthful spirit of the dancers so that light spirits led not to light heads. A vivacious blues singer, warbling with a perfectly synchronized orchestra, completed the setting for the most mem- orable night in the life of every Thespian present. I. HERBERT BLAIS SPRING When a young manls fancy turns to - fishing It would be impossible to draw on paper a picture of an ideal trout brook, for every fisherman has his own idea of THE ORACLE .nes a perfect stream. Some like the -sh sparkle of the water in early May and the promise of green leaves. Some prefer June, with lower water, long evenings, and a rich green countryside. Still others love July, with the roads dusty, and thunderheads rolling on the horizon, and the trout hiding in the deep, cool pools. I prefer to Hsh in April. April fishing is not a tempting pastime for the man who enjoys his comfort but is a distinct challenge for him who really loves Nat- ure in all phases. The streams are swollen with snow water, and the early bird often finds ice on the rim of his favorite pool. In fact, it seems to be much colder than in December or February. Ice forms on the exposed line and even between the Hngers of the lisherman's hands. If you take the trout's point of view into consideration, you ought to be able to get your share of early fish. The trout are hungry and far from hnicky in satis- fying their appetite. The water is murky and turbulent, and even the inexperi- enced angler need not fear striking too hard with the line. You must beware the weakness of spirit which would make you quit when the going gets tough. Perhaps there is no weakness of spirit in the Hsherman who gives battle to the stream condi- tions of April, who tries hard, and dehes discouragement. It is the time which will test the stoutest and most enthusiastic to the utmost. Early fishing requires ability and endurance. If it did not so require, there would be many more trout caught in April. GEORGE E. HALL A MOMENT WITH WATSON Some men claim to be great, but the truly great man is the one who has led a worthwhile life and is willing to share his experiences with others. The first thing that struck me was the utter simpleness in dress and manner of Mr. Watson. I had pictured him so from his autobiography, but I had never ex- pected to realize that sensation in an actual contact. I Hrst saw the man as he bent over a conglomeration of apparatus which represented the birth and growth of the telephone. He smiled quietly as he fondled an instrument which he had created years ao. As I entered, he straightened, and extended his smooth, delicate, and sensitive hand to clasp mine. The clasp was so comfortable that I lost any tense excitedness - natural accompaniment of an introduction to a great man. His gleam of interest and willingness filled the room, and his clear blue eyes seemed to smile encouragement to my simple questions. It was hard to realize that the man who sat here talking to me was well past the age when most of us will be merely waiting for the day when we shall be called. He had come hundreds of miles to talk to a group of students in a willing but labor-weakened voice. Now he has gone to the ages, but his heart and spirit live on in the hearts and spirits of many men who have spent a Moment With Watson, one they will never forget. FRANK A. FARNSWORTH, IR. THE ORACLE A LETTER 418 Beacon Street Manchester, N. H. November, 1934 Dear Shirley, You say that your idea of a perfect day is one of utter gaiety and frivolous pleasure. Such a day is to my mind al- together too common in this hectic age and is inclined to leave a bad taste in one,s mouth. I should like to make my perfect day a search for peace - not merely a surface calm but rather that inward peace that passeth all under- standing. Curiously enough, to me such a peace is more often achieved through continuous, monotonous mo- tion, such as traveling on an onrushing train, than in a quiet secluded spot. So I would begin my perfect day at dawn -a cold, grey dawn-in the cabin of a small ocean liner. Salty fog wafting in through a porthole, the weird creaking of the vessel, at intervals the sharp fog- horn's piercing blasts, and the pitching and surging of the ship under me all are necessary elements in my awaken- ing. Up to the slippery pitching deck then, Qwith apologies to Miltonj, tramp- ing around it at least six times before partaking of a hearty English breakfast, even though many of the passengers express a preference for a messy con- coction beloved by the French but ab- horred by myself-onion soup. For the remainder of the morning, my book and solitary deck chair fthe other pas- sengers being appropriately seasickj beckon me. My errant fancy next wafts me to a Hawaiian beach-great expanses of daz- zling white sand, coupled with a color- 'l'5f'1i ful panorama of beach umbra.. various specimens of humanity clad in variegated bathing suits. Surely, per- fect peace can be found here, floating on one's back far from shore with eyes closed to blot out the blinding blue of tropic skies. The afternoon shadows deepen and lengthen. Twilight falls and I find my- self walking in the hushed stillness of an English garden, - the type of garden made famous by Yardley's perfume ad- vertisements. An invisible and far away pianist fdistance lends enchantmentj is softly playing one of Chopinls waltzes, and, as is ideal in such cases, the fount- ain dreamily tinkles an accompaniment. So much for the garden, a delightful place to linger for an interval but to pall in time upon a nature of rapidly changing moods. The inescapable de- sire to be moving reasserts itself and I finish my day in a roaring plane speed- ing over black landscape sprinkled with lights. Perhaps such a day would not ac- complish my perfect peace but it cer- tainly would bring me closer to that coveted ideal so difficult of attainment. Sincerely, GERALDINE DUNBAR PARADES A parade is one thing I can't resist. XVhether it is a large holiday parade or just the Snowshoers starting out for a Canada or Maine convention, the sound of a band lures me to the street. I love to hear the music faintly in the distance, then gradually becoming louder and 12 ,X- nearer, until it is booming away in front of me. A tingling sensation runs up and down my spine as the music nears me, and I find myself humming and my feet keeping time with the rhythm of a stirring march. I never feel quite so patriotic as when hearing a band play Stars and Stripes Forever for some other creation of Sou- sa'sj and seeing our colors float above marching men. If it is a large parade, I delight in hav- ing to push and shove my way through the throngs on the streets. Having finally found a place of vantage from which to view the parade, I like to look at the people around me and watch their excite- ment. When at last the parade has passed, I have all I can do to suppress my desire to run along with it. As it is, I rush away to the street on which the parade is to return, and there I see it once more, ex- periencing the same delight all over again. MARION LESTER AN OLD ARMY HORSE To look at jack from a distance, you could not see that he differed radically from the other horses grazing about. Ap- proach him cautiously until you are about ten feet away, and you will see, if your eyes are sharp, that his left flank bears the letters U S Cf, standing for United States Cavalry. Taking care not to excite the old boy, encircle him until the right flank is visible. There, you will be astonished by the maze of brands- brands of division, company, battalion, brigade, and what have you. All of these TI-IIC ORACLE marks are crossed out but one. Ist Div. signifies that his last services in the army were rendered to the First Division. When I first became acquainted with old Jack, I wondered about these crossed out brands. After a day of trying to make him work, I discovered the under- lying cause-he was so lazy that no one wanted him. Later I realized that his laziness might have been caused by lack of reward for his labors. I began to give him some salt or other delicacy after he performed a task, and presently laziness disappeared. His reasoning Cif horses reasonj was log- ical enough, wasnlt it? Why work if you don't benefit by it? He had several other characteristics that set him off from horses in general. While I could go into the pasture swing- ing a rope and walk right up to him, my uncle Cwho considered himself master of horsesj had difficulty in catching him, even though he held the rope behind him and uttered coaxing words. jack had one good quality which he carried over from his army training-his habit of obeying commands immediately. I didn't at first realize the value of this. It was spring, plowing time and Jack was pulling a plow which I handled. Lead- ing him was June, my little five-year-old cousin, keenly enjoying herself in the hazardous position which I had thought- lessly allowed her to take. All went well until suddenly, without warning, June stumbled and fell! Realizing how helpless I was-a full ten feet from her-I did the only thing possible. I shouted, Hjack! Halt! Whether he understood the importance of the situation or whether it was his old THE OR army training, I do not know, but he stopped with one foot poised over the helpless child. Had that foot descended, it would have crushed the tiny body. From that day Jack had a larger place than ever in my heart. Lixwiuzxcrz Fox LISTENING IN There is a sharp click, a pause of thirty seconds or less, and then, a burst of words or music. I am now listening in on the radio. Having drawn up a comfortable ro:kfng chair and a chair for my feet, I r:-lax and prcpare to enjoy myself. Al- most instantly, I dream that I am direct- ing th: famous symphony orchestra which is coming in so excellently. To the superb melodies of a jazz band, I am floating with a very beautiful girl in my arms. Suddenly, the lilting tune ends, my pretty maid vanishes from my arms, as I am taken to the ringside of a champion- ship boxing match. I become tense and crouch over so as not to miss a single word of the sports announcer. The plunk, plunk of leather against body can be heard plainly. Then the excited roar- ing crowd of fans fairly makes the radio vibrate, as the champion is knocked out and the championship comes back to the good old U. S. A. The announcer is so excited that he can scarcely describe what is taking place. With a slight twist ofthe dial, I begin to shiver as I hear the eerie voice of the Shadow, who sees all and knows all. When the mystery is cleared up, I breathe a sigh of relief and then be- rate myself for being so foolish. A glance at the radio news tells me that a news broadcast is due, and I listen to the resume. Once again comes the throbbing ACLE 11 rhythm of a dance band, and I divine that pleasure which comes from good music. I have been given that delight which comes only to those who really listen-in. RIN-tx MVI.M.-Us WATER Water can inspire a poet, but what can water do for a man dying of thirst a hundred miles from nowhere, or to a man who is drowning two miles from the nearest shore? The poet sits leisurely on a patch of moss, rests his back against a tree, and looks dreamily into the miniature rapids of a mountain stream. After a half hour of meditation he writes a few words on a pad of paper, then repeats what he has written to the birds, or the brook, or it may even be the soft gentle breezes. And then out on the burning sands of the desert. The hot rays of the sun pour down on the never-ending sand dunes. Never a breeze, not even a warm breeze, stirs the stifling air. A man, half crazy, crawls on all fours. After a half hour of panting, crying, and clawing at his parched throat, he screams, yells, and goes through gestures of agony. If a sparkling brook were close by him, would he sit beside it and write poetry? And now in the middle of a beautiful lake a man, unable to swim, is trying desperately to tear off his clothes. As he starts to sink he lets out screams of hor- ror and madly moves his legs and arms in an effort to keep his head above the sur- face of the water. Water is all that he can see. He can't stop to admire the beau- 12 THE ORACLE tiful scenery of a shore two miles off, he is not thirsty, so what does water mean to him? FRED HEILMAN, jk. RIDING IN A NEW YORK TAXI I have learned that to ride in a New York taxi one must be fearless, courage- ous, and sometimes, I think, a little men- tally unbalanced. As I stand on the corner of Broadway and Forty-second Street and cautiouslv look over the taxis lined up for hire, I shudder. This one is quite dented, evi- dently the driver has taken a few too many chances. In the next one the driver is dozing over a newspaper and I dare not disturb him, but the third one passes muster. The driver looks as though he can be depended on to drive carefully and charge moderately. My judgment at Hrst seems good. He drives cautiously, for the Hrst few blocks. I lean back relieved. I notice a small printed card which he has taken pains to tack up in his auto. It asks not to hurry the driver. Safety First! Hurry him! Heavens! I should think not. I am im- mediately relieved and close my eyes in full security. Foolish me! I am rudely awakened from my day dreaming by the brakes being jammed on full force and I barely save myself from going through the window by grasping a nearby strap. The excitement for the balance of the ride is beyond everything. I sit on the edge of the seat, am bounced off it, and scramble back to it and con- tinue my riding with my hat completely shutting the vision of one eye because I do not dare let go of the window casing. JEAN MCDOWELL EXUBERANCE I have that disease called exuberance of spirits. Whenever someone comes into the house singing at the top of his lungs, the family says, just Russellf But what of it? A little noise never hurt anyone, especially if it is happy noise. I'm sure it's much more fun than to walk decor- ously into their midst. Dad says I go sailing around with my feet in the air, emitting war whoops. I get that way now and then just to be different. But, hon- estly, isn't it more fun to be noisy-and happy - than to be silent, glum, and morose? I think so. When I feel like that, I could conquer the world, invent something wonderful, or even study, well -maybe. Don't you ever feel like that, even if you are more grown-up and squelched than I? RUSSELL PLUMPTON BLACKSMITH I do not know him personally. Nor does anyone. Yet he is a striking char- acter. I say striking, but do not think for an instant that he is dominating. He is French, very French. His parents werenit of the aristocratic Parisian stock, but of the French Canadian. There are many theories why he still carries on a trade of another generation. They are as absurd as they are numer- ous. I would like you to understand that his financial condition does not enter into this, as it was, long ago, happily settled. Any man who has seen him once, rever- ently, perhaps even religiously, pick up a horse's hoof and lift it to his worn leather apron will know the motive for his persisting in such an apparently fu- tile occupation. He loves horses. His THE serenity in his work cannot be doubted. It is a dingy, dirty shop where he works, and the odors are rank. The only light is his forge, where he transforms innocent pieces of iron into shoes for the most blue-blooded of animals. There is the dank, musty smell of redhot shoes being dipped into cold water, mingling with the odor of the sweat of horses. Through all the smoke and haze you can see his massive jaw and high forehead, topped with an unruly mop of coal-black hairy his eyes never leave his work for an instant. His mighty forearm rises and his mighty back, clothed only in under- shirt, is shiny with the perspiration of hard labor. If you speak to him, you know by the blank eyes that there is a false air of un- derstanding about him. Like Millett's Man with a I-Ioef' he is not of high in- telligence. He possesses, nevertheless, a joy in his work, a loyalty to those he serves, that might well be the envy of any man. Longfellow's immortal poem has made him a man of the ages. Lols SMITH JUST SOMETHING When I see a young man coming down the home stretch in a race I wonder to myself what he is thinking about. Is he glorying in his perfect physical condi- tion that is enabling him to win? Is he thinking of the peaceful look he will see in the eyes of the coach? Is he fighting for personal glory? Is he thinking of joy he will possess if he wins? So many peo- ple think they can hide their thoughts but they can't hide them from an observ- ing person. If it is joy, the eyes betray. OR ACLE 15 If it is shrewd contriving, again the eyes betray. Why can,t people under- stand that their eyes reveal? What will the young man who is coming down the home stretch do when he crosses the finish line a winner-wait around for congrat- ulations or rush over to see the rnan who made it possible for him to win-his coach? If the young man waits for praise of his friends-well-a sigh is evoked from yours truly. If the young winner rushes to his coach with eyes alight and eager to see if coach is satisHed-well- do you wonder why the ghost of a smile hovers about me? Do you mind if I leave now? HCHUCKH CARTER THE MODERN HIGHWAY Where is the beauty one used to see when traveling from one city to another? XVhere are the cars which used to travel so slowly yet gave us such wonderful chances to view the countryside? In trav- elling today one does not think of look- ing for beauty, all is for speed and time. The beautiful grove of trees where you once stopped and ate your lunchg the rippling brook, beside which you sat and read or restedg the occasional rabbit which hopped out of the bushes and the squirrel which came and let you feed him -where are all these? What happened to them? If you will look carefully, as you drive along the highway, which is fenced in by billboards, you can see a hot-dog stand where the grove of trees stood, you can see a patch over the brook, which now runs through a pipeg you can see the noisy crowd which has fright- ened off or, more likely, run over and killed the rabbit and squirrel. When the people of today overcome their lust for THE ORACLE speed, streamline, and sport we may see 'ir woodland dell, our rabbit and squir- ACI. And who knows? We might even see a deer! CARL P. -IAMES, JR. BOBBY'S SHOES When I was hve years old or so, I used to play almost every day with a boy named Bobby who lived in the house across the yard. Between the two houses ran a fence, over which he used to climb in order to shorten the way. The after- noon I saw him coming by the sidewalk I wondered about it. When he arrived, he pointed to his new brown shoes. The mystery was solved, he didn't want to scratch the shiny new shoes. I didnlt like the idea of having black shoes while his were brown. I told him so. We sat on the steps trying to think of a way to make them black like mine. He suggested that we get some black paint, but we didn't know where we could get any. Finally I thought of stove polish. He agreed. I went into the kitchen, pre- tending to get a drink of water. It was fortunate for me that mother was enter- taining two neighbors. I rushed out the back door with the polish and the brush. We hid behind the lilac tree, and I pro- ceeded with the painting. I was quite proud of my work. After I had finished, I went into the house to put the polish away. I wasn't so careful this time: I didn't care if mother did see me. Of course I didnyt realize that I had got some polish on my face and hands, and that I had ruined one of my best dresses. Mother said not a word. She put me before a looking glass. I was frightened and began to cry. I didn't know who the little girl was standing before me. Mother tried to make m: understand that it was I. She went out to see how I had acquired so much d'rt. When she saw Bobby's shoes col- ored black, she was very angry. I often wonder if Bobby received pun- ishment similar to mine. When we were once again allowed to play together, we never dared mention the affair. Mystery of long ago, silence of child- hood fear. KATHLEEN DUMONT THE MILK MAN The Milk Man comes to our door three or four times a week in the early morning hours and deposits a bottle of milk. If there is an empty bottle there, he picks it up, drops it in his rack, and departs noisily down two flights of stairs to the street. His wagon attempts to compen- sate its owner's noise by automobile-tired wheels. Although his visits are usually between five and seven, there is one day of the week that he returns at ten. When you open the door in response to his knock, he presents you with a yellow or white sheet of paper, on which is totalled the amount of your bill. If you see that he is in no hurry, you invite him in. The conversation invari- ably starts in the same manner. This sub- ject is the weather. Talking about the weather starts the conversation, whether you are talking to a milk man, a store- keeper, or a friend. The conversation, having gained its initiative, continues without interruption. You tell him about your aches and pains and ills, and ask him, as a man of the business world, about the business conditions, have they THE improved lately? He, in return, answers your queries and talks with justifiable pride about his pretty young wife and his two young children. Together you discuss the affairs of the country, voice your opinion of the President and other prominent officials, and formulate ex- tensive plans to construct Utopian gov- ernment. But what does he do off duty? You know by virtue of his job that he starts work at two in the morning. When does he sleep? This question is brought to fur- ther emphasis when you see him at a thea- tre or other public place some evening. When does he find time to be with his family? Are his habits similar to ours? CARLETON CHALMERS TENNIS When soft breezes begin to blow, the snow melts away, the grass becomes green, the birds return, and the days grow warmer and longer, what do I think of? Tennis! What joy it is to bring out the old racket reposing in the darkest corner of the closet, where it has been stored away all winter! To grasp it in my hands once again and swing it up, and hit the ball hard and swift, making it spin over the net and land on the very place at which I aimed. I-Iow I love to get up with the sun and play a couple of sets! No matter how down-hearted, how depressed I may feel, before the end of the set my spirits are up again, and all is well with this old world after all. How good the wind created by my racing feels against my cheek as I speed from one side of the court to the other. How tri- umphant I feel if I hit the ball squarely and send it flying over the net so that it is OR ACLE an impossibility for my opponent to .... it back! I-Iow happy and contented I and with the world after a spirited set of tt.. nis out in the open court, with the sun blazing hot and my face and arms and back becoming every minute a deeper tan. I-Iow victorious one feels even though he may have lost! What a glow- ing picture of physical and mental health -- alert, keen-minded, and above all things happy! Happy in the joy and zest of living in the great out of doors. RUTH H1XZEI.TON THE FRESHMAN'S THOUGHT Freshman to Senior: Well, big shot, I'll bet you're mighty glad to be getting through. Senior: Think so? Freshman: lim sure I would be. Don't tell me you're sorry you're leaving! Senior: Aw, I don't know. Freshman: Well, it seems to me that four years would be enough. fAt this the Senior looked at the Freshman with pity.j Senior: There are some things in life that we would like very much to haveg we work and strive to attain a certain thing and when we do attain it, we are not so happy as we thought we should be.

PAUL PERRAS REPORT CARDS What good are Report Cards?',--a question often put forth by a pupil. The teacher will promptly reply that the purpose of the card is to give the par- ent an idea of the grade of work that his son or daughter is doing. The pupil interprets this card as a weapon in the hands of the teachers, which is used about four times a year to arouse discord in his otherwise happy home. This card may bring down upon the unlucky offspring the wrath of his fa- ther, the well-meant advice of his mother, and the everlasting snickering and sniveling of his older brothers and sisters. Woe unto him who does not bring home a card with passing grades. He is forbidden to go to the movies. He is for- bidden to go to dances. He is forbidden to play football or baseball. He must be at his books unceasingly. He can't move away from them without hearing his mother ask him if his lessons are pre- pared, and when he is lucky enough to get to the back door without his mother's hearing him, his older sister calls out, johnny, does mother know you're go- ing out? This agony for the pupil continues for about a month and then slowly dies down. At last he is back in his old habits when those unbearable, poisonous, dzczg- tive Report Cards are again distribu:c:t in school. ar ' WW' THE ORACLE Now, can you blame a pupil for ask- ing, What good are Report Cards?', ROBERT PRESTON HUMAN I am the blessed Yet I hunger, I whine, Greedy for more- A mean, mutinous mind.

Every few hours, a huge black and orange airplane thunders over my head, carrying mail and passengers between Boston and Montreal. From a distance I can hear at regular intervals a passenger train rumbling by, twelve or fifteen cars carrying people from where they were to where they will be before long. The traveller is everywhere. The peo- ple of the world are rapidly getting bet- ter acquainted. Before long, if we have money enough, we can be whisked from Moscow to New York in fifty minutes, the journey being just as safe as plodding behind an I was back in ,49. Safer even, because were obnoxious Indians in those day. Travel, just to admire and to see, w. be of great help in getting rid of the bis and hatred between peoples which hav come down from the beginning of civili- zation. As easier methods of travel are found, and the peoples of all parts of the world begin to know and understand and make allowances for one another, that mutual acquaintanceship will start civilization toward permanent and wholesome peace. I believe that acquaintanceship brought about by travel is more effective in the cause of world peace than a hundred years' worth of Mussolini-Laval meet- ings, Washington and London naval pacts, Briand diplomacy, Borah-ism, and Huey-ism. FRED KALIL GARDENS Gardens, riotous and formal, delight- fully carefree and just as delightfully prim, quiet and fragrant as an old pot- pourri, lavish and colorful as a sunset, are getting their first start in April. Cro- cuses are pushing their way through the softening earth and daffodils are prepar- ing to burst into the sun. So many kinds of gardens can be made that every girl with even a small plot of ground can find one that suits her particular taste. In fact, a clever gardener may have all sorts of flowers during one year in her one tiny plot, from cool, stately irises in the spring to gay, flamboyant dahlias in the fall, with candytuft and hollyhocks and morning-glories and snapdragons in be- tween. iw 1 I8 THF! In England, everybody with even the smallest patch of land cultivates a gar- dcn. Flowering hedges line the country roads and lilacs bloom in tiny yards. That is what makes travelers speak of the beautiful English countrysidef, That is what inspired Alfred Noyes to s'ng, Come down to Kew in lilac time, and Shakespeare to write some of his loveliest lines. In Shakespeare's own Stratford-on-Avon today, as in the days when he lived there, around even the little thatch-roofed cottages, there are patches of quaint English garden flowers. And the garden of Anne Hathaway's home in Shottery, to which the poet used to walk at dusk through fragrant fields, is filled with bergamot and mignonette and larkspur that are mentioned in so many of his songs. A garden is one of the most satisfying things in the world to own, to point to and say, Yes, I planted that and tended it myself. It's really mine. It is worth every bit of work and care that is put into it. If you are fortunate enough to have plenty of ground, you may, of course, have more variety than you can in a little patch. It is not wise if you are an inexperienced gardener to begin on too big aiscale at Hrst. So limitation of soace may be a fortunate thing rather than a hardship. If you do not live in a house with a back yard, perhaps one of your friends does, and perhaps she will lcnd you a few feet of ground for a gar- den or let you share hers. Or, if you live in the city, have a window-box garden, which is a hundred times better than hav- ing none at all, and can at least provide you with little nosegays for a tea-table. Yes, April is the time to think about gardens and to begin the joyous task of O R ACLE making lovely things grow where there was only bare brown earth before, and to look forward to the time when there will be blue and yellow and pink blos- soms glowing in the summer sunshine, and the refreshing odor of sweet alyssum and the spicy smell of cinnamon pinks blowing in at your window. VASILIKE SPANOS FOR GIRLS ONLY Oh, don't ask her. She is such a bore! Doesn,t it make your blood boil to hear someone make a statement like that? After all, everyone hasn't the distinction of being classed in the category of Bore Today it is generally acknowl- edged, after reading innumerable pamph- lets and vividly illustrated advertise- ments, that any girl can be popular - simply by acquiring a school-girl com- plexion for her boy-friends to admire, and individuality of dress that will make her girl friends jealous, the pep and vital- ity to keep going from eight in the morn- ing until twelve at night, plus a dynamic line that is positively guaranteed to bring the stag line on the run. For the benefit of my dear readers I shall endeavor to indicate in two classes the vast number of unpleasantries that accompany popularity. Firstly, it is a known fact that popular girls are con- tinually being sponged upon by friends whose popularity is of a lesser denomina- tion. When a particular girl friend of yours has a particularly important date coming to call on her, she will bring him to your house to be entertained. Much later in the wee hours, when you lie ex- hausted in bed, it doesn't seem credible that the misguided male in question has THE asked your girl friend instead of you to attend the Frat Dance Saturday night. Aside from having people sponge on you, you will find that if there is anything hard to be done you,ll be asked to do it. And will you do it? Of course you will! Because refusing to accept the offer would endanger your success as a popu- lar person. Secondly, it is also a known fact that popular people never have real pal- friendsf' This is because they are so busy trying to impress new people, and at the same time trying to keep in the good graces of the people whom they al- to really know one person from the other. If by some slip of the pen, I have failed to get that last idea across, I shall en- deavor to explain myself. After continu- ous interruptions for I-Iello, did you really? Whom did you go with? What did you wear? What time did you get home?,' you'll be ready to join our classes for bores. Now, if I have convinced you that it is wiser to fe a bore, you must consider being the corrzct type. Even bores have an individuality of dress. The girl-bore W ll turn up for the High Light Affairs clad in any-old-thing, much to the cha- grin of her tuxedoed escort. Showing up for an all-day hike clad in high heels and a dashingly new dress is an exclusive right copyrighted for bores. Be sure to take the utmost pains not to tear your dress, as this will show the male hikers that you are conservative. To cap the climax, sprain your ankle so that every- one will have to turn around and go home. If you follow my advice, you OR ACLE I9 may rest assured that you won't be for- gotten for a long time to come. Now I shall give you certain indispen- sible advice concerning your dates. If you want to make an impression on your escort, call down in a drowsy tone that you had forgotten all about the date and were sleeping. Then take the greatest pains dressing so that when you appear some two hours later he will be delighted with the refreshing picture you present. But if you find that he has fallen asleep, awaken him immediately and demand an apology for such actions. Above all things, don't let your boy friends insult you, they will think twice as much of you if you stand up for your rights. If your date takes you to the pictures, just to show him that you are really tak- ing an interest in what is going on, tell him the actors and actresses you don't like. Or better still, tell him what you have been doing in the last two or three weeks. And don't use a too confidential tone - maybe the people around you would like to hear what you have been doing. Speaking of tones reminds me to com- ment briefly on the peculiar voice quality that becomes a bore. Carry on your con- versations in monosyllables. When you speak, use such cultured tones that you can't be heard. They will ask you to re- peat anyhow. It never fails! Fellow bore-women, you are like the seven-years itch, but you are indispensa- ble to society. No party is complete with- out you and you may rest assured that you will be in popular'I demand. :XNONYBIOCS i0 'l' H Fl PUNISHMENTS -I REMEMBER When I was a small child, my mother had a punishment for us children which we thought of as being very unpleasant. Of course, the things we were punished for, we termed wholly different from the way mother did. She would think of these offenses as being punishable, when we would think of them as being praise- worthy. But what was this loathsome punish- ment? Was it a good spanking on her knees? Was it that we had to stay in the corner for a certain length of time? Or that she forbade us to go out of No, it was none of these things, It was all and only the dreadful couch! was it doors? Many times it was that I lay on the couchf' studying the ceiling, and at the same time thinking how unjustly I was being punished. Many marks did I make on the wall beside the couchf' to while away the time. But, above all, many times it was that I called to my mother and asked to get up before my time was done. Of course, my brother and I had more than one quarrel in our childhood. And as I was the older, mother usually pun- ished me first. Roger, come here,', she would say with a hard voice. Of course, I'd naturally proceed to argue with her as to which one of us was the cause of the quarrel. But the argument usually ended with her saying, Go up-stairs and lie down on the couch for half an hour! As I recall it today, I can think of much better punishments, such as talking OR ACLE it over with the child, but I also know of punishments which are a whole lot worse than the couchf, But even though it is painful, I think almost anybody would rather have a good spanking than have to lie for half an hour on the dreadful couch. ROGER METILLY THE DIVER Falling with the grace of an inanimate object, he plunged into the lake, causing a plume of water to shoot skyward and splatter angrily back again. DAVID XVHEELER, 1935A CHRISTMAS GIFTS What thrills of anticipation those whispered words bring. From the begin- ning of Christmas week until the actual day, packages and gifts arrive from all parts of the country. There is the glittering package, deco- rated in silver ribbons and tinsel, from more fortunate relatives. One is sure to find something expensive and perishable in that package. Then there comes the cherished and looked for package. That one is usually neatly done up and tied with a pretty ribbon and the admonition not to open until Christmas. When it is opened, it contains the very much needed, brightly colored, hand-knitted mittens that you hinted you wanted to go with a new ski suit. There is usually some fudge tucked away in the package somewhere. This gift is from grandmother. THE ORACLE 21 Then there is the necessary run of gifts from all of your friends. Many lovely gifts, wrapped in gaily colored papers and ribbons, each one conveying from its senders the hearty wishes for a merry Christmas. When they have all been opened and placed beneath the tree, there before you, you can see the people that sent them: the mittens from grandmother, the books from Uncle, the hand-made handkerchief from little Betty, and the glittering sequin bag from the silver package. These are only a few of the many friends that help to make Christ- mas what it is. BETTY FRASER AN INTERVIEW WITH A TRAMP We weren't lounging in soft easy chairs, nor were we sipping lemonade from tall rimmed tumblers. Instead, we sat on large stones and drank tea from shallow tin cups. My accidental encounter with this strange character was unexpected but proved most enter- taining. I had wandered off from camp, in- tent on doing some exploring in the immediate vicinity, when suddenly I stumbled upon a little clearing and thus began my thrilling experience. Not even looking at me, he startled me by an invitation to sit down and have a cup of tea with him. As I saw nothing to alarm me, I decided to accept. He was attired in a shabby, rather tat- tered suit, but seemed to be healthg and had a full, ruddy face. He was talkative, not at all reluctant ta part with information of a personal n1ture. It wasn't necessary to start the conversation by talking about the weather or by discussing the present economic conditions or financial crisis. Instead I inquired the reasons and the steps that led up to his present life. I was both amazed and dumbfounded by what he divulged. He began his stc-ry by telling me that he had been born in jolly old England and was a graduate of a university. After his graduation, he had been seized by a spirit of adventure and, without a cent in his pocket, he began tramping around the world. From country to country he wandered, finally stowing away aboard a vessel and reaching the United States. During our conversation, I was deep- ly impressed by his intelligence and his extensive vocabulary. He showed me a small dictionary and a vest pocket edi- tion of Shakespeare's Hamlet which, he confided he always carried with him. H claimed that he was well pleased with his present life and would not change it for all the wealth of a banker. I don't agree with him on that score, but after thinking back, I must admit 5 22 THE ORACLE that he was pleasant, knew what he was talking about, and had a good sense of world relations. PIARRY FROMAN DOWN MOUNTAIN SKIING Lucky is the skier who meets that ideal snow condition - feathery snow over hard crust. Luckier is he if he finds it on a good skiing mountain, and still luckier is he if this mountain is Mount Washing- ton, the monarch of the White Moun- tains. It was my good fortune to experi- ence all of these conditions, and from this experience I concluded that the real appreciation of the beauty and the pleas- ures that this mountain aljfords can only be had by one who has skied on its steep sides during the reign of King W'inter. Let,s start at the beginning. When we approach the base of the mountain we catch an initial glimpse of it. The bleak white face of that part of Tuckerman,s Ravine called Boott's Spur looms in front of us. I can recall now that deep feeling of awe that crept over me as I looked upon its tremendously high sides. As a matter of fact it is only about half- way up the mountain. We seemed to be going into a different world, for a few miles back it had not been snowing. Soon we reached the base camps, and prepared to climb up the winding trail. Some might think this not so interesting, but one must remember that as we climb up we are continually talking about how we will go around the numerous turns, which side of the trail we shall go down on, and the like. As we proceed upward, something happens that could not possiblyitake place in the summer. There is a sharp warning shout of Trail!', and a skier, who seems to have the quality of a thun- derbolt, plunges out of nothingncss and down into nothingncss again. He is ac- companied by a distinct hiss of his skfs, which perfectly exemplihes his great speed. There is a still greater thrill when his companion follows, sees us, swerves, and then gracefully, amidst a swirling mass of snow, stops at our feet, and tells us of the snow conditions above. Climbing along again we can see the faint outline of a wind-swept crag and the tiresomeness of the climb is broken by watching the snow whirling off the top of this ravine. We can surmise by the speed of this snow and a faint roaring sound that there is a high wind up there. After another mile of climbing we ar- rive in Tuckerman's Ravine. It is like a huge white bowl, seven hundred feet deep. But as we gaze at its great head- wall, it does not seem high and it does not seem steep, for there is absolutely no perspective. Finally, some of us venture up this great slope and then one can really see the tremendous size of the steep head- wall, for those on it appear as minute, insignificant dots on a huge, pure-white background. After feasting on the beauty of this scene, we adjust our skis and start down. For three winding miles the trail drops, in endless curves. Speed, wind, whirling snow! In a very small fraction of the time it took us to climb, we have de- scended. As we eat a warm supper at the base, we can hardly realize that just a few minutes before we were up in Tucker- man's Ravine, three miles away. ROBERT SKINNER T H E SPICY NUT-BROWN ALE fWord magic often evokes pictures for- eign to the experiences of the reader or hearer, - witness the following, touched OE by the phrase in Milton's L'Allegro.j This phrase brings to my imagination a picture of ale perfectly brewed, con- taining all the qualities that the best ale should have. I have in mind a beverage rich in odor and in color, a liquid that incites even the most timid, tied-down tongue to break loose and waggle in a magnetic manner. This mead of the mor- tal, as I see it now, is reposing in a pewter or earthen mugg the mug is not a work of art, for there is no beauty requirement made of it. Its sole service is to convey from the tap of a keg to a welcome pal- ate the fluid so amply described in the first three words. This particular mug is being manipulated by a stubby, knurled hand attached to a brown, thick, hairy arm encased in a smudgy frock, all be- longing to a typical English farmer, tak- ing his turn at telling a tale on a Holyday Eve. A fire roars and crackles in ever- lasting attempts to make more certain its own place in the circle of villagers. Its flames, encouraged by the whispering winds at the chimney's top, light up the oaken rafters supporting the thatched roof over the village tavern. And, after the stories are concluded, before the occupants of this tap-room creep off to bed, there is an all-round request for one more mug of spicy nut- brofwn ale. HENRY L. WILDER, IR. ORACLE 23 ON FAREWELLS Why sadness on a farewell day When good friends stray apart? Wfhy tears from women, sighs from men, And each a broken heart? The French, in parting, say Adieu g The Spanish, Adios,'g The Yankee damply says Good-bye, In act and tone morose. But these are sayings much too strong, They fill the heart with woeg They mean, We may neier meet again Till home to God we go, So give me a more cheerful Word: Au rev0ir, French parting song, The German,s famed Auf Wiederschenf, Or, best of all-- So long. VVENTWORTH BROWN EXCERPT REMINISCENT As I recall it now, smoke drifted up from the blazing wood, pieces of pine snapped and crackled as the little tongues of flames licked them. The colorful spot around the fire was emphasized by the inky blackness of the night which sur- rounded us. KATHERINIE GULA, 193613 AN OLD PINE TREE In spite of its deplorable condition, still retaining some of its former prestige, it stands like a king in the wilderness. KI4ZNNE1'1I LODGE, 193713 THE ORACLE A PERFECT DAY fWitI9 Apologies to Miltonj A mighty wave of red sweeps up the sky And routs the inky blackness from its path, Announcing Sol's approach again to earth. In through the red are wedged thin streaks of gold Which seem to hold the sky itself in place, As slowly rears the sun its shaggy head, To wake me with its great display of light. Far off a crow rasps out its throaty caw, A pig squeals loud, a mule brays in the barn, A cow moos deep, a dog barks loud and long, While nearer sings a bird on budded treeg And mingled with the noise come smells of spring - Of rich, deep mud, the scent of early flowers. I break my fast with victuals plainly cooked, Then hitch I to the plow the tractor gray And turn the furrows over two at once, In half the time it took old Bess and Paw. So thus by noon the daily tasks are done, And I can turn my thoughts to lighter things: Go hunting, Hshing, hiking, or just read, Or drive to town our brand new V8, To see a picture show or call on friends. When I return at five or six o'clock, We gather round the table to say grace, Which done, we eat most heartily indeed, Until, quite full, we seat us round the room To hear the news or music soft and sweet, Till eight or even nine o'clock at night, Then stumble off to bed to sleep in peace. JOHN PILLSBURY W S' ZW' THE ORACLE AS WE SEE IT Of course, school is a necessary evil like cod liver oil before every meal, yet five hours of it must be tolerated every day, like straight hair or freckles. Now, no one objects to the before- school period, when groups can gather to discuss Ann's new dress or Janeis way of wearing her hair. And the home- room period is, in fact, an ingenious in- vention. Here we perform daily mir- acles in cramming four hours of studying into fifteen minutes. Much of the day. however, is a trying ordeal to everv girl. For who can remain dignified. dem-ire, or aloof while elbowing along crowded corridors? Who can keeo calm when the bell loudly iangles, either interrupting you in an interesting discussion or re- leasing you from a place of terror? Do you know any girl who can sit through a math test and not have a shiny nose? And what can a poor girl do when she discovers a run in her stocking second period? Or worse yet, as she strolls down the corridor for rather mentally pictures this impossible featj endeavoring to im- press some member of the masterly sex, her poise is shattered by the sight of her new dress coming boldly towards her on the form of her most dangerous rival! Such is life! Although four minutes between bells is not time enough to gather pencils, note- books and compasses, it is long enough to stop to chatter a minute or two on our way to a class or study period. Here in study our mental activity is released. These periods, by the way, are most in- correctly named, for they are spent in whispering behind books or idly drawing caricatures of classmates or teachers. 'si After five hours of toil, the last Noses, poise, boys are all forgotten, unladylike pushes and glaring looks brought into use with surprising ez. School is out, and girls wtih inked fing' tips, utterly exhausted, and unable think of a single more excuse, sigh uno their burdens of a few books. Little do one realize what a trying existence th high school girl leads. MARION B1-txxi-1'r'i' A SENIOR'S ADVICE So when the Freshman asked the Sen- ior how good marks were attained, the Senior replied, 'KIt's a cinch, all you've got to do is to study hard for the first quarter only. Then, besides getting a good mark, you make a good impres- sion on the teacher. For the rest of the year there is no need to study because you have the reputation of being a good student, and consequently you get your other good marks on your reputation. To this the Freshman asked, Well, if the teacher averages the marks in her book and gets a low mark, what then?' Here is the secret of getting a good mark, replied the Senior. Always talk a lot in class. If you don't know what the correct answer is, beat around the bush, evade the question, side-track the teacher. If there is a general discussion, that is the best time to show off your bril- liancy. Talk as long as you can think of anything to say. It's highly possible that you can tell a story that may have some connection with the subject in dis- cussion. Tell it, but be sure to stretch it out, make it as long-winded as possible: don't even stop to come up for air. At this the Freshman rose and said, W'ell, as youire a perfect example, why aren't you on the honor roll?', FRED HEILMAN Qu-vi THE BATHTUB bathtub is an oval receptacle for bathing of a human body. It is about .. o feet deep and twelve inches too t. It comes in several varieties from sitz to the suitz. The latter is a j of bath tub you look at but do not et. A bathroom with a bathtub is a good thing to have, even if you have no use for it-because it gives you something to talk about. Some years ago, people would speak of it in a casual way, just as now- adays one speaks of his automobile. It was a sort of ticket that admitted one to the circle of the first-families. To say I was in the bathtub when you rang the bell was much like saying, I was in Europe. It puts your unwashed friend at a disadvantage. It was a mark of dis- tinction to mention a stationary bath- tub. I used stationary because in olden days, and days not so old, a bathub was neither stationary nor exclusive. The clothes were soaked in it Sunday, the .W .-pw THE ORACLE V Wednesday, it began to be used as a bathtub for the rest of the Week. According to certain records in Clay- ton's Monthly, June, 1929, I found that Adam Thompson of Cincinnati, Ohio, was the first man in America to install a tub in his house. This was December 25, 1840. It aroused the nation to an uproar. The medical profession, with unusual foresight, declared it a danger- ous thing and bound to increase diseases of all sorts. Finally, Millard Fillmore, President of the United States, put a bathtub into the White House, in 1850. That settled it. Society took it up and began to brag about bathing on other days than Saturday. A New York hotel put in a bathtub. People went far to see it. When royal dukes visited America, they were even taken to see it and the marvel was regarded with much interest. There is much more I could say. But I refrain. Bathtubs are but the begin- ning. The day will come when every town will have sumptuous public baths. Then perhaps we shall be clean-and washboard was put over it Monday, corn G0d1Y- was husked into it Tuesday, and, by DOROTHY JORDAN OUR DESTINATION How we have longed to reach this exalted station And hold a diploma with this class of ours! Yet the thought of saying farewell, dear Alma Mater, Saddens us as we go - Farewell, a word that will forever cling to our hearts. Now as our thoughts turn back from this exalted station To the struggles, and to the unbreakable knot of comradeship Formed by our continuous meeting from day to day, Now we must depart, Bidding each other and Alma Mater farewell. The hour of time has slowly dropped its curtain, And now we must follow our own walk of life, Yet the sorrow of leaving our dear Alma Mater Shall never be forgotten, For we love you, though we leave you, Now our years are through.

K'Tarzan the Great we call him. He's radio mad, A girl-crazy lad- You never can guess his next whim. To the lunchroom they all scatter, XVith whoop, yell and clatter.

She's considered a queen On the campus so green, Because of her sweet, winsome way. There is a young lady named Ruth. And it takes no Scotland Yard sleuth To see why they like Her-Jane, Jean, or Mike- This gay little charmer of youth. There is a young lady named Val. We call her our dear little pal. She's tiny and sweet, She cannot be beat- This happy-go-lucky-est gal. There is a young fellow named Russell Who's always in much of a hustle. He is chock full of fun, Gives the boys quite a run, And has never been downed in a tussle. ORACLE There's a young lady n. Who always looks neat-ne Though rebuked for renewing The gum she was chewing, She never got huffy or fussy. The school we attend is called 'Igentrr The work that we do is termed mental. Some students succeed, Some just learn to read, But none find their lot accidental. Now, we have at Central a Miss I In more than one thing does she exc- Tho' she does like to tease, Her ways they all please. Simple to see why we like her so well. There is at Central a fellow named Wilder. Iive ne'er heard of one had temper was milder. Not a fair 'weather friend, His aid's ready to lend, Charming, alarming, disarming young Wilder.

After the death of Mr. Hopkins last February, someone asked, Why didn't we have Mr. Hopkins speak to the mod- ern generation now attending Central?,' I-t seems rather a pity that an old-time Central High teacher was not given the opportunity to speak to a new genera- tion. No doubt a talk by this old school master would have been mighty interest- ing. But why cry over spilled milk? There are other old Central teachers who would make interesting speakers. Why donlt we have them? W. K. THE MASKERS In the month of September, 1925, originated one of the greatest high school dramatic organizations in New England. Composed of fifty students, with Miss Sawyer at their head, they soared to un- expected heights of achievement in just their first few years of dramatic practice. At this point other organizations would have probably flattened, but through the leadership and originality of their Hne director, they not only kept up their pace but established even higher standards. HIMJHIII Hlllm Now it is their tenth anniversary and they are still second to none. This year a murmur traveled through the student body that maybe this was the year of the Maskers' downfall, since for the two years just past the clubls activity had been greatly curtailed. The murmur died when Romance Is a Racket, clev- erest of the clever, scored a hit at the New Hampshire Drama Day contest. Then came an obstacle. Their annual Maskers' play was soon due, but at the wrong time, the same week as the New England contest. It was questioned whether they would attempt a large pro- duction. They chose one of the most dif- Hcult pieces of their career, Escape, by john Galsworthy, and carried it through two performances that held the audience tense with excitement and sympathy. Further success came when those in the contest play traveled to Arlington early in the morning after the second perform- ance of Escape and brought back the New England Championship. To no or- ganization could be paid higher tribute than that which our invincible Maskers have won. They deserve all the credit they have received, but Maskers and stu- THE ORACLE dent body alike realize that all this achievement would not have been possi- ble except for the guiding skill of their adviser, Miss Marion Sawyer. N. B. CAN YOU TAKE IT? What does that popular phrase sig- nify? My conception makes it a philso- phy of life. Are you easily discouraged? Are you patient? Ah, how that old story Hts in. A gang of us fellows had been fishing for a short time, perhaps half an hour, when the newcomer began to reel in his line, saying, I guess I'l1 give up, they don't seem to be biting today. Old Captain Jim came back at him immedi- ately in his snappy, clipped way, Fel- low, if youlve no patience, can't take it, stay ashore! The same advice applies to any of us, or of you. If you can't take it, stay ashore, stay in the shadows-no limelight for you! W. S. CURTAIN Yes, curtain. But not the final curtain. It's only the end of the act, and there's another coming along as soon as the scen- ery is shifted. We have performed in the introduction, in the scenes preparing for the main act, and now, the bi! coming. Graduation marks ti.. . the curtain. The reception 5' call in which we take a bow. All the world's a stage, And all the men and women mr -.y players. Yes, and the presentation is the eternal play, Life. One may say, to be sure, that all roles are small-why bother, then, to play one's best? A small part, poorly- played, would not even be noticed. To feel this way is to make an unfortunate mistake. A minor player can steal the show by playing the best. We have set the stage for ourselves, and now we must perform before a different, a most crit- ical audience-the world. Play superbly and the world appreciates, Play well and the world approves, Play poorly and the world scorns. During the past act we have been learn- ing our lines for the coming act, and al- though we do not know them perfectly, yet with a few more rehearsals, we shall be prepared to put on a good show. Right now, between the acts, let me wish you all the best of luck and a masterly per- formance. H. L. W., Jr. ATI-II1lgTICS M. H. S. TRACK TEAM IAVELIN THROW Out into the morning light A streak of beauty flew From earth to air to earth in perfect flight. I turned my head and looked up high As beauty made again its path across the sky. Hurtling through the early morn, And proudly showing its color fair, A javelin rode a breeze with easy dare. Now-its forces spent-it slowly falls, But--how strange-it strains the more to reach ahead As though it knew its speed would soon be dead. Yon spear was filled with fibrous will To go and go and go through space until Of beauty, distance, height, it had its fill. THE ORACLE TRACK May fourth, Saturday, State Inter- scholastics-7OO competitors - Central wins its seventh straight championship by a margin of 172 points. Central placed its men in all but two events, the broad jump and the hammer throw. Central has had no good hammer thrower since Walter Pazdon, no good broad jumper since Charlie Blateos. Carl P. James certainly received a thrill when he saw the boys he no longer is coaching come through in grand style. The men who won their letters in this meet Were: Ross Baker, Blateos, Tom Beaudet, Bud- dy Nute, Arthur Zitrides, Preston, M. Raiche, joe Cote, Voisard, Hutchinson, Eddie Germas, Bill Smart, Harry Ben- nett, Heath. Central will now keep for keeps this State cup. High Spots Former Coach Carl P. James was pres- ent at the meet. Brown-skinned Voisard, in the mile, spurred for the tape in such a manner that the stands arose as one. Ross Ba- ker scored 11 points. Tilton-Central May 18, Saturday--nice day-hopes for victory - hopes blasted - as Tilton scores 19 points over the carriers of the Green. At this writing Central has a few more meets: May 22 at Andover, May 29 at Haverhill, Merrimac Valley meet, Ki- wanis meet at Concord. As yet no records have been broken. Tom Beaudet may break the shot-put record in the Kiwanis meet June 1. FOOTBALL So many fellows leave schoo' many leave work to come to s' it is impossible to tell now what the pw. pects are for a Central football team. But of one thing be sure, Hubie McDonf i will produce a team that can make you gloat to yourself. Shall we see you at the games? BASEBALL Art McConnell was elected captain at a recent meeting. Warren Brewster, Bill Kaleviano, and four others were all Coach Hap Price had as material to start this season. At this moment, they have won two games: Cathedral O-Central 6, Pinkerton 1-Central 6. GOLF Earl Adams, math teacher, is in charge of our golf team. Although the season has not opened, the ball-sockers see vic- tory. The next issue will tell you of this coming season. 2? PICTURES Gene Tougas has proved that he is complete master of camera pictures. His lightning glance can see the possibilities of a scene. Take another look at the track pictures. Gene has co-operated this year in producing action shots of letter men. ALUMNI -'ldon was among the eleven Dartmouth sophomores elected to the 'itorial board of The Dartmouth un- luate daily recently. The men were r :cted on the basis of the edit- arials they had written during a six 'ompetition. ,uglas Rafter is studying music in uoston, where he is also church organist and teacher of eight piano pupils. 1934B-John Jenkins was united in marriage with Martha Claire Theriault, M.H.S., ,34A, at a ceremony in Bos- ton on last New Year's Eve. This wedding climaxed a high school romance which began four years ago when Flash Jenkins, brilliant halfback on Hubie McDonough's elevens, and his bride were both here in school. John is now employed with the New Hamp- shire Fire Insurance Company here. 1934A-Dorothy Kennedy, who is a freshman at Bates, had the pleasure during a recent week-end visit to Au- gusta of meeting Governor Charles Brann, himself an alumnus of Bates. Governor Brann conversed with Dot', at some length regarding her college work. She was accompanied to the cap- itol by her cousin, Charles W. White, who is superintendent of state buildings there. Walter Athearn is studying at the Mount Hermon school for boys in Northfield, Massachusetts. Earl Dearborn and Parker WVheat are seniors at Philips Exeter Academy.

Clark on April 6, in Cambridge, Mass. Up to the time of her marriage, Mrs. Clark was employed at the Personal Finance corporation in Sa- lem, Mass., where the couple will live. '29-A-Gladys E. Mailey was married on Palm Sunday to Austin H. Burleigh of Tavares, Florida. Miss Mailey is now clinic secretary at the Mental Hygiene Clinic, District Nursing Association, while Mr. Burleigh, who is a graduate of N.H.U., is employed by the State Road Department, Engineering Division, jack- sonville, Florida. THE ORACLE There has been considerable interest shown in the place taken in the bt life of Manchester by the graduates of the Commercial Department. In re to this interest and as an incentive to the young people now taking Cf work, Mrs. Daley, who is in charge of the Placement Bureau of the depa' compiled the following partial list. These are the names of graduz tcs .. A gone directly into the commercial life of the city without further training. It has been impossible to make the list complete, for as the years have passed many cor mercial graduates have changed position and have not made it known to the d ment. The list includes only the names of people who are still engaged actively in business. Many, of course, because of marriage, leaving the city, or for nfl' reasons have retired from the business life of Manchester.

A short story, whether it depicts life as tragedy or comedy, always aEords a moment of pleasure. A Newspaper Story by O. Henry doesn't depend upon plot, setting, inci- dent, or character, instead it relies upon one article - the newspaper, not any newspaper but a special newspaper that began its life on a newsstand. The whole story is centered around the different happenings that befall one newspaper in a day, revealing human characteristics and humorous aspects of life, and also the power of the press. This particular newspaper influenced many livesg do all newspapers do the same? SHIRLEY E. MASON In Lowe Is a Word by Harlan Ware, the style is perfect, the plot excellent, and the character portrayal superb. The story has very little real plot, centering itself mainly around fourteen-year-old Bobby and Marjorie. The author has the most perfect understanding of adolescent as well as of adult human nature. Set- ting, local color, plot, incident-all these are subordinated to the truly remarkable characterization. SHELDON V. EKMAN W The plot construction of On the Wal- pole Road by Mary E. Wilkins Freeman is interesting and adds a great deal to the charm of the story. Two women, one of seventy, the other much younger, drive down the street in an old-fashioned chaise-the older tells a story. Her vo- cabulary is of the country, her interest and eagerness enliven her story, which grows in surprising twists and turns and concludes amusingly. RUTH B. PAYNE The majority of us have never, and probably never will, come in close con- tact with a group of gangsters and mur- derers, but Oppenheim has made his characters in The Home hy the River so real, and their station so like our own, that we readily believe an incident such as he portrays might happen to us. JOSEPHINE M. SIMPSON Charlotte Perkins Gilman wrote The Yellow Wallpaper, which has but few rivals in the class of horror stories. Char- acter plays an important part in the story, for it is a study of a woman, men- tally unbalanced. An atmosphere of gloom and misery prevails throughout. NAOMI KRAUZER The most outstanding thing about Spendthrift by Laura S. Portor is the clever contrast between the real and the fanciful. The scene changes from a com- monplace sleepy town in Kentucky to the interior of a bus. To the little girl who tells the story, the old Southern town takes on a romantic aspect. The scene in the bus, however, is so unusual that it seems fanciful-the reader is taken into another world, where all surroundings are forgotten. There is finality in the last paragraphs, closing forever the love story just unfolded. LOUISE SWALLOW TIMELY TCDPICS Approximately 250 girls and boys practised tirelessly in our gym classes all year' to merit the certificates presented annually on award day. The gymnasts are divided according to age, height, and weight into four classes: senior, interme- diate, junior, and midget. In order to acquire a standard rating, ten of the fol- lowing twenty tests must be passed: Heel jump Armless Rise One-Leg Balance Under the Wand Crane Thrust Three Chair Layout Bottle Balance Log-Rolling Cane-Cut Heel Click Neck Throw and Catch Knee Dip Wand Serpentine Rising Sun Full Single Knee Bend Leg-Return Back Bend with Wand Knee Walk Each class has its standard. For in- stance, the seniors are expected to be able to jump 1 foot, 5 inches higher than the midgets. Much credit goes to Barbara Chase, ,36A, who spent no less than twelve hours perfecting that excellent scroll in room 11, containing a biography and a book report on Cicero and one of his ora- tions in full. In a questionnaire given to 351 Home Economics girls on attendance at movies, it was discovered that from a total of 17,641 trips to the cinema, the propor- tion of time spent was greatest by soph- omores and least by seniors, with fresh- men and juniors coming between. 'P Many fine projects vfefefv' ' Miss Nettleton's classes when reading Kipling,s Captains maps, drawings, dolls dressed like acters in the book, collections o and clippings, carved models gear, and a cook-book for sea foods. they f fishing One of the best projects done in an cient history was a white-on-black ren-- dering by Naomi Alter of alphabet coup- lets, with line copies of five pieces of sculpture and of the head of Rameses. Among the many interesting cartoons done for Miss Eastman was one by Rich- ard Hutchinson to illustrate the growth of the powers of Parliament. 2? :E :I- Miss Vaughan's pupils continue to feature colorful jackets for their book re- ports. The Oracle office now has copies of two charming pictures done by Her- man Carr and Beatrice Dubois. Aquila Romana, Central,s Latin pa- per, has had requests for complimentary copies from schools in Erie, Langford, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Sulli- van and Connersville, Indiana, Framing- ham and Melrose, Massachusetts, Roa- noke, Virginia, Rochester, New York, Treppe, Maryland, and Waco, Texas. In the fall, Timely Topics will be glad to give news of faculty vacations. Here are some pre-views: Miss Alice Eastman will attend the School of International Relations at Wellesley, June 25 to July 5. Miss Cora Russell will go to York as usual. Mr. Snyder will fish at Newfound Lake. Miss Lucie Fitzpatrick will study at Columbia. X f .,.. THE i LC .X ASSEMBLIES Art Club Assembly QUpperclassj. Mr. Herbert T. Strong, a New York col- orist, was the speaker at the Art Club assembly. His delightful manner of speech and startling demonstrations of color won undivided attention from the students.

To stirring strains our guests, members of the Grand Army, Civil War, Q' THE ORACLE Spanish-American, and World War vet- erans, and various Auxiliaries, filed into the auditorium, led by Henry Cassidy and David Sayward, senior presidents, as flag-bearers, with Quentin Smart and Henry Wilder as ushers. The school contributed a salute to the flag and spir- ited singing of America and the Star Spangled Banner. Rev. John D. Kettelle gave an address on the meaning of Memorial Day and facts relating to it. The audience listened in rapt attention. At the assembly for freshmen, held immediately after, the procession and music were similar. The address was given by Miss Elsie D. Fairbanks, head of the social science department at Cen- tral. Her earnest, straightforward talk about the flag and our relation to it made a profound impression. ACTIVITIES Aquila Romana. The last Aquila Romana for this year was issued during the first week of June. An article on Horace, contributed by the well-known Dorothy Kennedy, class of 1934A, was especially appropriate because of the Bi- millennium Horatianum celebration this year. Art Club. Members of the Art Club have worked hard this year to make Mr Strong's talk possible. Money was earned at a card party held at The Hampshire, where twelve tables were in play, and at the fair. Hi-Y. During the spring season the club has been fortunate in securing speak- ers of worth, namely, Mr. Thomas and Mr. Couser of our faculty, Superintend- ent Benezet, Mr. Aylesworth of the State Industrial School, Dr. Dietch, and Mr. Murphy of the Manchester Airport. A business meeting was held on May 21 and the following officers elected for the ensuing year: President, Alton Suos- sog Vice-President, Daniel Sullivan, Sec- retary, Harold MacAllasterg Treasurer, Roland Winterton. The Prohle long since was nc But it left-alas! a heav' And now that debt is You are awake. It is no dream. Welll say no more On Profile theme. The annual Hi-Y dance was neld at the Intervale Country Club on June if' and formed a satisfactory climax to ar. extremely successful year. Home Economics Club. Fine layettes have been made and given to Mrs. Davis of the Child Welfare Association of New Hampshire. On April 23, a tea dance was held to help pay expenses of the club. The advisers and twenty-five members went to the State H.E.C. Convention, May 11, in Laconia. The Knitting Club girls spent the week-end of May 25 at Miss Lemay's camp on Northwood Lake. Le Petit Salon. The last meeting of Le Petit Salon was held at Doris Eck- hardt's house, where a play, La Surprise zflsidore, was presented by Mary Andru- chuk, Virginia Bodwell, Inez DuBois, Grace Freije, and Ruth Kimball. Inter- esting French games were played and re- freshments served. Members planned for a dance held at the Calumet Club, May 3. Those on the committee were: Meri- lyn Albert, Betty Blood, Philomena Charas, Barbara Chase, Phyllis Duhaime, Grace George, Edythe Hunt, Nathalie LeBeouff, and Sylvia Muehling. The Literary Club. Club pins were awarded the following for faithful work: Marion Bennett, Margaret Hendry, Dor- othy jordan, Shirley Mason, Barbara Sullivan, Ann Thompson, and Ann Walsh. The Maskers. Hear Ye! Hear Ye!

Hats off to the mu- sically inclined fellows who brought home victory. Hero worshippers, this is your cue. In case you're still bewild- ered, the Manchester High School Cen- tral Band won the State Contest held at Laconia by a margin of three or four points. About one hundred fifty of the Upper- class Elective Chorus presented the sec- ond act of Gluck's opera Orpheus in con- cert form on June 7, with great success. joseph Bozek was his usual grand self Cnegligent Mr. Winchellj in rendering the part of Orpheus, and Sylvia Muehling as Eurydice was well received. The band assisted with some of those stirring strains which won for them the laurel wreath. Didn't the orchestra do a marvelous job at Escape? While we chatted between episodes, music, sometimes stirring, often light, gently but firmly reminded us of the mood with which we must return to the moor, the inn, or- Did I say mar- velous? The word is weak. The Pilots. The Pilots held a suc- cessful exhibit of Novel Hobbies in the gym May 28 at 4 o'clock. Officers in charge were: President, Betty Nelson, Vice-President, Ray Emersong Secre- tary, George Prassasg and Treasurer, Helen Monnelly. The hobbies of this group are numerous and varied. EXCHANGES The junior Texan from way down in Austin, Texas, is a compact paper full of news and school fun. Efficiency and co- operation is the aim and achievement. The Nutshell from Moorestown High School, Moorestown, New Jersey, is in- tellectual as well as witty. The page en- titled The Snooper is unique. The High School Bulletin from Springfield, Illinois, has an interesting column dedicated to Classroom Activi- ties. A brand new magazine from Hartford High in White River junction, Vermont, entitled Hartford Smudge, has found its way into our Exchange. We welcome it, and wish its editors Good Luck! Among the first new papers toward the completion of our H48 by '35 campaign is The High Trihune, Central High, La Crosse, Wisconsin. The students have a keen interest in sports, as divulged from the great space given to it. Another is The South High Beacon, from Cleveland, Ohio. It is a friendly, newsy paper, containing full accounts of activities and projects. A paper of ingenious title is the Syra- cuse Daily Orange, from Syracuse Uni- versity, New York.

The Pine Needle, Rapid City, South Dakota, is suggestive of the breezy westf' It contains spontaneous, enthusi- astic articles of general as well as school interest. The Bisrnarcle High Herald, Bismarck, North Dakota, has a clever cover design: a basketball with autographs of the play- ers. The Gusher, from Casper, Wyoming, proved interesting reading. We enjoyed especially the department headed Social Events, and the pointed paragraph edited by the Superintendent of Schools. The Grenada, Mississippi High School paper, The Bulldog, is small, but it car- ries in condensed form much of interest. We liked the poem The Old I-Ierof' Our Exchange is even reaching across the Atlantic to increase its friendships. In response to query we have received a small magazine published by Aleppo College, Aintab, Syria. Unfortunately the publication has been discontinued, but we hope that it will soon be reestab- lished. , N7 fgll'W'sb 9 T WPA f an JJWVI K .ull A J I l' e, X E t K it il ,I fxx Q ,f A ff f Orders It's orders, it's ordersg I've gotta write a poem because it's orders.

Mr. Lamprey, after futilely explaining something, exclaimed: I do not under- stand why I am not understood. What Mr. Lamprey meant was this: I do not understand why I am not under- stood: especially since I do not under- stand your not understanding my not being understood, for if my misunderstanding of yo' standing my misunderstaiiu., am not understood, then you understand my misunderstood and the misunderstanding ot o would be understood. But, since- misunderstand my not unde why I misunderstood, I persist I do not understand why I am not 1' stood. A Latin class was discussing prefixes.
