X T X X If - 2, LET FLOWERS DICTATE fFor Men Onlyj To you, boys, who are swing-conscious, graduation doesn't mean diplomas, it means Reception. Reception represents many things: soft lights, hot music, and on this occasion not any sweet young thing, but the girl of the hour. If you want to be sure your feel- ings are partially reciprocated, don't fail to brighten her gown with a corsage. To the average male, a corsage is just a small, flat-looking bouquet of flowers tied with tinsel or cellophane, and ribbons. But you don't want to be ordinary on such an important occasion. To remove any such impression you must deal with the situation with the skill of a connoisseur. The flowers which you select will prove your true worth. The most important essential in this cor- sage business is to contrast the flowers with the dress. In case of necessity, you can be- come a Sherlock Holmes. Her friend, or even a friend of a friend, can easily inform you of the exact color. Beware! Don't rely on brothers or male cousins. They haven't the feminine eye for color and detail. Un- less they are artistically inclined, turquoise- blue will look green to them, or the new thistle shade will be just pink. The color question once solved, you will know your limitations and may proceed with caution or gusto. Roses are an old standby, gardenias are fashionable, but oh, so un- original, and nowadays, next to good taste, Hllzfvl LKTJ N it's originality that counts. At this point you may be grateful to the Greeks for their in- vention of floriography. Any girl with a sense of humor cannot fail to appreciate your at- tempt at novelty while indulging in the language of flowers. Rest assured that such a girl will not feel ruffled at receiving a cor- sage of nutmeg geraniums fif she can recog- nize them as suchj, for do they not mean an expected meeting? Even the pale little bach- elorls-button means hope in love, which cer- tainly is a compliment to any young 'teener. Never, never send white roses if you wish to prolong a courtship! No girl can be flattered by a statement of dead love. You must choose wisely. Select the flowers to match her per- sonality. If she is Highty, then it's butterfly- orchids for gaiety. If she's pining for some- one else-the cranberry blossom means a cure for heartache, if she's shy-the four o'clock means timidity. In case she has a great sense of humor, then it's harlequin for one who laughs much. Should you not be able to re- sist her, and donlt know why, the satin-flow- er means fascination. If she is a gold-digger, and you know it, and she knows you know it, then possibly she won't take offense at re- ceiving auricula, which simply means- wealth is not always happiness. Having decided upon the kind of flowers, the style in which they are arranged is next to be considered. The florists, who are ex- perts in corsage make-up, can suggest various forms-should you take the pains to consult 6 IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER or THE ORACLE with them. If you want to be even more dif- ferent, a floral bracelet may fill the bill. If you don't share the masculine dislike of doo- dads adorning the feminine head, a halo might prove a welcome surprise. The quaint nosegays wrapped 'round in lace paper are considered cumbersome by the athletic girl, hut are appreciated by the clinging vine, who knows how to mancrvre them like fans. The result of your consideration in this major detail of flowers is immeasurable. If you have exerted yourself at all, you may rest assured that the smile with which you are greeted on the evening of evenings is not forced. You will surge with pride as She raves about your cleverness, and smirk smug- ly at the dumb bloke who sent his shy part- ner obelias- which mean arrogance. ANONYMOUS OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS The Manchester Institute of Arts and Sci- ences has something of interest to offer every single one of you. Membership to it entitles you to attend the evening entertainments, which average about four a month. I have spent many enjoyable evenings there, and often come away from a program feeling that that alone was worth the membership fee. The variety is great, including singers, dancers, lecturers, soloists, novelty entertain- ers, orchestras, movies, and plays. For a small additional fee one can enroll in classes which are also numerous and varied. If you are artistic there is oil painting, water color and design. If you like to do things with your hands there is wood carving, jewelry, metal work, weaving, cooking, and embroi- dery. If you have musical talent there is the lnstitute orchestra, and if you are dramatic- ally inclined there is the Institute Players. Hut on the other hand if you are like me, and have neither artistic, creative, musical nor dramatic ability, take applied design. It cov- ers leather work, book-binding, block prints and gesso-, and requires no remarkable skill. The Institute has something to offer every- body. So why should anyone stay away? IOANNE LOWTHER. COUNTRY ROADS Country roads are sad at night Except for here and there, the sight Of farmers' friendly lamps that stare Into the gloom of everywhere. Country roads are dark at night Except for firefiies' winking light That mock the stars beyond the hills And moonbeams flashing on the rills. Country roads are still at night Except when crickets chirp delight At piping frog and whippoorwill, Whose vibrant songs the valleys fill. Country roads are lone at night Except where linger, left and right, Gay couples from the barn dance late Who whisper love, and laugh at fate. SALLY BERDECHOWSKI. AN ACTOR SPEAKS Friday, May 14, finally arrived wet and dismal. Miss Sawyer and the cast of The Flattering Word left the school immediate- ly after the first period, for the railroad sta- tion. Here we fooled around, for fifteen or twenty minutes, just killing time until the train arrived. It was here that the Union- Leader photographer found us, and much against our will took our picture. We lunched at the South Station in Bos- ton, and reached Pawtucket about half past one. The High School there, is the most beautiful one that I have ever seen. IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE 7 As we stepped into the auditorium, Miss Curtis, director at Pawtucket, greeted us, and gave us five minutes to look over our property, ten to get it set up, and thirty to rehearse on stage. After rehearsing, we Went immediately to the homes where we were to be entertained. At five-thirty, we returned to the school for supper in the cafeteria, a spacious white-enameled room on the fourth Hoor. The food was very good. There was no chance of getting lost, for guides were everywhere. Their red and white badges with the letters P, S. Cf' identified them as members of the Student Council. Until the 7:30 performance, we strolled about the grounds, and enjoyed the view of the river that fiows in front of the school. The audience that night was small but res- ponsive. An old French melodrama, present- ed by Greenwich, Connecticut, impressed us most. Most of us ate again at the High School Spa, fquite attractive, but out of bounds in school timej and then went home for a good night's sleep. We ate breakfast in our tem- porary homes, had a line rehearsal, and then an early dinner at the Cafeteria. Immediately after dinner, We got into our costumes and prepared to get made up. No one appeared to be nervous, and our spirits were kept up by imitating different people. The first play that afternoon, The Wedding, seemed to drag considerably, and the cast was entirely unconvincing. Following this play, we prepared to go on. The second play of the afternoon seemed an eternity, as we waited in the room right off the right wing of the stage. The call finally came and we went backstage. We shook hands and wished each other luck. It wasn't until then that we started to get into the spirit of the play once more. We all drove every line, to build up each climax. The play ended, and each of us felt that, no matter what the judges' deci- sion might be, we were entirely satisfied with the way it had gone off. Following this, we enjoyed a fine banquet and prepared for the evening performance. The play that im- pressed us most, in the evening, was a farce by Warwick, R. I. which turned out to be a second place winner. The plays ended, and the judges came on the stage along with Director Curtis and a few other dignitaries, each of whom had to make a speech. We almost went wild, when we learned that Manchester had again won first place in the New England Contest. An informal dance, in the gym, followed the announcement of the winners. Sunday morning came only too soon, and we were on our way again for Manchester. We were met at the station, by our folks, and many of our ardent admirers, who had skipped school on Friday to bid us off. fDe- tention claims them now.j Now I see a chance to thank Miss Sawyer for all the splendid work she has done for us in the past. For the benefit of those who do not know it: Out of five tries, Miss Sawyer's rec- cord now stands, a first place winner three times, and a third place once. All the luck in the world to you Miss Sawyer in your undertaking. RICHARD MOHER. TALE BY A STAGE HAND Arriving at Pawtucket at about 1:30, we were on the stage for rehearsal at 2:00. The rehearsal was all that could be expected after a long train ride, and in spite of zealous cf- forts of the two stage hands, it was a Hop. After that we congregated on the front steps of the high school and decided to rehearse again Saturday morning. We were then transported Qfree transportation at all timesj to our appointed homes. Friday evening we were given a banquet which turned out to be a self-service cafeteria supper four gallant trio took care of our trays.j The dinner was excellent and we looked forward with great zest to the other 8 IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE two in store for us. The plays that night were good. Afterwards we were shown the high-spots of the town. We discovered a stand where one could buy three scoops of ice-cream for one nickel. Enchanted by such a bargain we bought some, and also a box of pop-corn to eat in our room later. Saturday noon we again ate bountifully, and our spirits rose when we saw the mob of loyal Centralites who had come down. Manchester certainly did itself proud. The applause was deafening as the curtain descended. Saturday night everyone dressed formally, and we ate our last meal at the school. At eleven o'clock came the judges' decision, and Manchester was unanimously given first place. The balcony Cwhere we were seated, sounded worse than a home- town football game. A formal dance of about forty minutes followed, and we again went for ice-cream, but not to the bargain stand. Our enthusiasm had been slightly dampened when discovering that the ice's chief consti- tuent was cornstarch. We regretted deeply to leave Sunday mor- ning, but were highly entertained fand so were the rest of the passengersl by our male trio who gave us many touching selections, including Seven Years With The Wrong Woman, Take Me Out To The Ball Game, etc. It was not until we saw the Manchester station and a group of welcomers fthe only thing missing was the bandj that we real- ized There's no place like home! NELLIE RASSIAS. TO CANADA, 1936 Some people think that Canada is an im- mense open tract, dotted only here and there with large farms. Such persons are wrong. Of course, in some parts, Canada has many farms, but not so many as there used to be. Everything is very serene, however, and they have but few amusements. In general there ar no theatres, dance halls, or restaurants. The countryside is quiet and peaceful. Montreal is one of the chief places that I thought really interesting to see. It was just what I had imagined it wasn't going to be. It is as modern in its ways as many cities in the United States. There are dance halls, luncheonettes, theatres, and a considerable number of amusements that we don't have, even here in Manchester. One thing certain- ly surprised me, and that was the way the people speak the English language. They speak more of it than they do French, and speak it Huently. Manchester's English is often not so good as that of Montreal. I also visited the Academy Roussan, in Quebec. It's just one of those places that you can't imagine exists. It's a college for boys only, and they go there to study for priesthood. It is situated on a hill, and is very pleasant in there. I was talking to a young man who was to be ordained a priest three days after we left and asked him if he were not lonesome at times. They are al- lowed to leave the grounds only once a month in care of two brothers. He told me that he had no time in which to get lonely. They are all perfect tennis players. An interesting part of our trip was the crossing of Three Rivers. It was night, and I could see the outline of boats in the dis- tance, making way or at anchor. While going across, I met a few people from Manchester, who were there at that time, also on a visit. While conversing I found out that they were close friends of my father's whom I had nev- er met before. There was only one thing that bothered us, and that was the heat. It is frightfully warm in the summer time. I don't know if it was the different food that we ate, or change of climate. At the end of our visit, we came to the conclusion that no matter where you make your voyage, there is no- thing like the good old U. S. A. RITA CHAREST. IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE 9 SCENARIO SHORTS I The Last Bomb SCENE: A shell-wrecked Belgium vil- lage during the World War. It is late after- noon, yet the sun is bright, becoming dim- mer, until finally it is twilight. Through- out the play, muffled Firing can be heard. There are three or four small houses and a church clustered together. These have been bombarded with the result that only fragments are left. The miserable little village seems abandoned. Evidently, the Germans have recently passed through here, driving the inhabitants before them. A child crawls from a cellar window of a wreck on the right. The boy, a six-year- old, creeps along the ground and looks about himj CHILD: All right, Granny, come on! QA shrunken old woman in rags crawls out of the window. She sits down, rocks back and forthj GRANNY: Oh, dear! Oh, dear, what are we going to do, now? What are we going to do? CHILD: Granny, I'm hungry. GRANNY: Yes, yes, of course, child, we must look for some food. It won't do us any good to sit here crying. They're all gone now, all gone. QPause-then briskly, Come, we'll look for some berries. fShe goes into the house and brings out some things clutched in her apron, from which she hands the boy a partly brok- en bowl., GRANNY: Go pick some berries, child, while I make the buns. fThe child skips off, humming, while the old woman busies her- self making a Hre and mixing something in a bowl. The child comes running back from the fields with the berries.j CHILD: Granny, oh, Granny, the .,.. the ..., GRANNY: Don't hurry so, child, you might spill the berries. CHILD: fBreathlesslyj Granny, hurry, some men are coming from over there. fPoints toward left of stagej GRANNY: Quick, put the fire out. Q Both throw sand on the fire and stamp on it until it is completely out. The grandmother slides backwards into the cellar windowj Now, hand me those things quickly. Hurry, hurry, child, before they come. CThe child hands the berries, buns, plates, etc. to her. He then starts crawling into the window. A voice is heard commanding the men to search the place, and just as they come into sight, the child disappears. The men begin looking through the houses.j PRIV.: No one is here, Lieutenant. LIEUT.: Is every hovel searched? PRIV.: No, sir. LIEUT.: Well, search them all. fThc private goes into the house on the right, but comes out shortlyj Priv.: No one there, sir. QAII have rc- turned from their search with a negative answer., . Lieut.: Attention, March! fThey march off. Their footsteps sound fainter and faint- er until all is quiet. The old woman and her grandson come out of the window. She sets out two bowls, then divides the berries into them.j CHILD: That was close, Granny, wasn't it? GRANNY: Yes, dear, but we can thank the Lord that grass was there. Even at that, I thought he would find us. Were there many berries left, child? CHILD: No, not many, Granny. GRANNY: We had better save some of these for tonight. fThey finish eating and set the bowls aside. The old woman sits in the shade of the house while the child lies near by. The sounds of firing are heard more clearly, and now, also the sounds of air- planes. One appearsj CHILD: Granny! fShaking her, for she had fallen asleepj Look, what's that? GRANNY: Ah, quick, into the cellar. Itls a plane. If they don't see anything mov- 10 IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE ing they won't fire. CBoth hasten through the window. The plane passes over the vil- lage, dropping two bombs. One hits the house where the two are hidden. It is blown to pieces. As the wreckage and sand settle, one sees the howls and other remnants from the lunch lying where they had been left, un- disturbed. A dim light is shining on them. It becomes brighter and brighter. The firing grows more distant until all is in silencej BEATRICE DUBOIS. II BRAVING THE STORM SCENE ONE: Aboard a large ocean liner shortly after a nationally known ship disas- ter. Mr. and Mrs. George board the ship at ten-thirty in the evening and are shown to their stateroom by the stewardess. A thick fog is hovering over the harbor as they pre- pare to retire. When Mrs. George is sure that her husband is asleep fsnoringj, she crawls quietly out of bcd and places two life pre- servers at its foot. Back under the covers, after much tossing and turning, she finally drops off to sleep. In the middle of the night she is awakened by the loud din of a fog horn. She sits up in bed as the ship rocks to and fro. Mrs. G.: Bill, wake up! I think something has happened. ' Mr. G.: What did you say? Mrs. G.: Wake up, Bill. Please get up, somethings wrong. Mr. G.: Oh, all right. fHe is in the act of standing up when the boat lurches, and he is thrown to the Hoor.j Mrs. G.: Oh, Bill, are you hurt? Answer me, Bill. Oh, dear, what ...... P Mr. G.: I'm all right, Mary, don't baby me so. I just lost my balance-that's all. QHe goes over to the port-hole and opens it wider. A voice is heard from the deckj STRANGER: Yes, sir, it's mighty tough wind. I wouldn't be at all surprised if there was trouhle at sea tonight. It was just such a night as this, when the ....., went down. What a calamity that was, I never ..,... fMrs. George gets up, closes the port-hole, and goes over to Mr. George who is sitting upon the edge of his bed, his head in his handsj Mrs. G.: Bill, did you hear that? I told you I didnit want to go to Europe. I'd be just as satisfied in Florida. Let's get off now, I know the boat will go down. Mr. G.: fHalf smilingj All right, Mary, get on your swim suit and we'll start. Mrs. G.: Oh, Bill, do be sensible. Mr. G.: Go to bed, Mary. If anything hap- pens I'1l let you know. CH1: gets into bed and is soon asleep.-Mrs. George has a mind of her own. She puts on her deck costume and sits in a chair close to the doorj SCENE TWO: It is dawn. Mr. George awakens to Hnd Mrs. George fully prepared for any emergency, sitting in the chair sound asleep. He dresses and goes out on deck. A few minutes later he comes back, laughing so hard that Mrs. George awakens and looks around. Mrs. G.: What are you laughing at, Bill? I think you're mean to laugh at me. What if the boat didn't go down last night! That's no sign it wonit tonight. Oh I ........ Mr. G.: lust a minute, Mary. The boat didn't even leave the harbor last night. It was so rough at sea they didn't put out. QHe sits down and rocks with laughtenj IANE CLARK. THE OLD STORY Every student impatiently awaits the com- ing of a vacation. No matter how brief it is to be, everyone has plans and 'mental pic- tures worked out as to how it will be spent. A certain celestial radiance appears on the countenance of those who, like caged pan- thers, await the flinging open of the door to Freedom! The day comes--the First day of vacation. i I IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER or THE ORACLE 11 The sinister and ,even prevalent question come up: What aim I going to do with so much time? We have no answer. The first day goes, the time is whiled away, in waiting, iii expecting and in hoping for something to laappen. The succeeding days are spent in ,like manner. Books are started, but never finished, letters are started but never finishedl previously planned trips never materialize. Then somethingl strange occurs. One actu- ally begins to wish we were back in school. Unbelievable as itl sounds, this is invariably the case, and as tiniie goes on the desire looms large. One hopesi for the clang of the bell calling the flock back to the ancient halls of learning. The clang comers, the flock goes back, but with them goes an age-old question, When do we get out again? l l..,ll-l- A CHILD AND THE SEA One day as I played by the sea Its surging waters rushed to me With gifts of polished stones and shells, And filled the holes I'd dug for wells. But as I played another day Its gentle waters flowed away To leave me pretty shells and more, For me to play' with on the shore. KALEOPE HARTOFELIS. OUR, OPERETTAS In order to make this operetta a success, you must enjoy doing itll' Advice of this kind is often given bylour able teachers while we are putting on dur operettas. We do have fun, we also woiik hard and long. As soon as school is setllled in September, chorus classes begin on fheir project. We learn the lines and music yvell, then a month later try- outs for the soloi parts are held. These try- outs are carried lout in a truly professional manner, and the principals are chosen not only for their voices but for their acting abil- ity. Afternoon and evening rehearsals in singing and speaking are commenced for the principals. Students, called chorus leaders, are coached before hand to help in rehearsing the entire chorus. After the chorus and the principals have rehearsed individually with the orchestra, the whole cast is combined. If the basic and preliminary work has been faithfully done, it is not too difficult to put the production together. Most of the credit for our successful oper- ettas goes to the coaches who spend hours planning and working on scenery, actions, costumes and hundreds of minute details. The pleasure that the entire chorus gets on opening night is ample compensation for the really hard work. OLGA KOUKOS. 1,,l,l1L.l- THAT WHICH IS OLD It was pitifully drab, that little rusty gate. Who would have known that long ago it was brave, new, modern-the pride of Danvers Road. Gaunt gables stretched their weary length from end to end of the weatherbeaten building. What was once a home that was loved and admired, now remained merely a shell hiding ruin and deprivation. While a new democracy was fighting for its very being, famous men gathered in the broad dining room of Davis' Tavern to dis- cuss vital questions of state. Could they speak, these dark hand-hewn walls of the country rendezvous might tell tales of bloody brawls and feverish celebration. Town folk had not been kind to the fan- atic man who had established and been the first teacher in Miller's School. They who had grudgingly sent their children there had unwittingly committed their good, plain names as a witness to posterity. The worn doorsill is a mute reminder of all which has given place to the modern and the new. 13 IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE Years have done their very best to destroy every vestige of that which is old.

THE WIND As I sit at my desk the wind is howling around the house like a thing possessed. I am glad to be indoors, cozy and warm. Here I can meditate on the wild deeds of this un- tamed element. I can see a busy downtown street. The wind is playing havoc with everything it can touch. It whirls papers madly about the despairing street cleaner. It snatches hats while owners clutch them grimly, some too late. Up a side street it rushes to strike the person on the corner with a strong blast. Then it whirls around a telephone pole and attacks the same victim from the rear. Now it catches the skirts of a woman boarding a street car and leaves her in a panic. Awnings Hap, dirt flies, nothing loose escapes from this-well, it really is just a swiftly moving body of air, but I always think of it as a madcap person who loves to cause confusion. Only something alive could have the wild ways of the wind. On the other hand, it would take quite a mad person to be so fool- ish. Take the wind's behavior on the des- ert. There it catches up millions of particles of sand and whirls them into the air. Up, up, around in dizzy circles, then down to form a beautiful sand dune with graceful swirls and curves, a marvel to behold, a thing that would take man countless hours of un- tiring labor to duplicate. Not content with this, it again snatches up the sand particles, and with ruthless hands wipes away its work of art. I would think of wind in about the same manner as Shakespeare characterized Puck- A wild, gleeful boy capable of wonderful feats, yet able to destroy them without a thought or feeling of regret. CHARLOTTE WILLIAMS. RUT Harry lit another cigarette, sank back in the battered chair, looked around the room, and snorted. He was fed up. Life had been a steady stream of small jobs and cheap flats. All Hats look alike. Like this one, he thought. There was the same second-hand furniture, the same threadbare rugs, the same atmosphere of squalor. He stood up and walked around. Tried to get his mind off the subject. But the old pictures and cheap wallpaper leered at him. He felt trapped. Trapped by old magazines, old lamps, and dusty old curtains. Even the sports section of the evening tabloid failed to snap him out of his reverie. He reached for another cigar- ette, but the package was empty. That's funny, he mused aloud, thought I had one left. Well, a little air might do me good, and besides, I gotta call the boss about that job. He walked out into the hall, jammed 5 IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE 13 on his hat, slipped into his worn coat, and went out. Once out on the street, Harry felt better. The cool night air seemed to freshen him up. He shifted his coat and walked a little faster. He wasn't old yet, but the spring had left his step. Life held no illusions for him. He no longer dreamed of glowing achievement, of power, or of fame. His main concern in life was to keep his job as accountant at the office of the importing company. He stopped in front of the lighted win- dow of the second-hand store. The mass of knick-knacks there usually interested him, but tonight he didn't see them. He was thinking of the job he'd been offered. His company was opening a branch office in Brazil, in the heart of the coffee growing region. An accountant would be needed, and he had been offered the post. It wasn't a gold mine, his boss had pointed out, but it was a chance to get away and see something of the world. Of course the climate wasn't very good, and it would be tough sledding for a few years. He turned abruptly and walked down the Street to the drug store. After the clerk had given him his cigar- ettes he gazed idly at the newspapers on the rack. He opened the package and lit up. There was nothing in the headlines that in- terested him, so he went over to the tele- phone, dropped a nickel in, and dialed his boss' number. While he was waiting for an answer he went over the facts again. Life, adventure, a chance to get ahead, but it was risky. The oiiice might fold up, or the cli- mate might get him. He had heard stories about the climate and how it affected men. No, he decided, just as he had a dozen other times. It's too risky. Some other guy, but not me. Out on the street again he walked slowly toward his dingy Hat. He wasn't sorry he had refused the job but he couldn't get rid of a feeling that he had missed something. It was too risky, he repeated, too darned riskyf' Still through his Hngers. Perhaps if he had tried ...... . RUSSELL K. WOODBURY. A GREEK WEDDING The organist is slowly playing ...,.. the wed- ding march. Then we see the bridegroom coming up the aisle to the altar with his father, where he awaits the bride. Then the bride comes up the aisle with her father, and following her are the bridesmaids and ushers and the ring bearer. The bride and bride- groom step in front of the altar and stand together waiting for the priest to begin the ceremony. The music stops and the ushers and bridesmaids form a semi-circle around the couple. A table is set out with a loaf of bread, wine in a small bottle, two candles for the best man and his wife, and most im- portant of are two wreaths of white beads, joined together by a wire also covered with beads. The priest starts his sermon of the wedding and after he has finished, the best man, whom we call Kombaro, places the wreaths on the heads of the bride and groom. That is the climax of the wedding, because they now are pronounced man and wife. The Kombaro exchanges the wreaths on the heads of the couple three times, from one head to the other. Then the Kombaro'l places the ring on the bride's finger and ex- changes it three times with the ring on the groom's finger, and then they are put on to stay. The priest then holds up the Holy Bible, which the groom kisses and then the bride. He then has the groom and bride and the Kombaro and his wife sip wine from a glass three times. Then the priest gives the bride and groom a lighted candle to hold, and gives the Kombaro and his wife the same. Then the couple and the brides- maids and the ushers walk three times around the table that contains the Bible. They do everything three times in honor of the Trinity of Father , Son and Holy 14 IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE Ghost. The wedding is now over and the priest makes a speech on how to live happy and contented. The groom and bride descend from the altar and stand there while the peo- ple come up and wish them luck and happi- ness. Each person is given a tiny basket con- taining Iordan almonds. This is a very old custom, handed down for many generations. Then they leave church and go to the groom's house where a Ugood time may be had by all those invited, and even by the un- invited. Late in the evening the bride and groom leave for their honeymoon, but Q rest of the people remain, and they dance and sing till morning. HELEN PAPADOPLOS. MEIGE I am a person of extremes. Things that ap- peal to me are those which are odd and en- tirely different from the usual run. That is probably why I got such a thrill when the expressman drove into our driveway and left the crate which contained Meige, for Meige was certainly an extreme dog. Being half Eskimo husky and half wolf, he made an excellent lead dog for Admiral Byrd on his latest trip to the South Pole. He was the most beautiful animal I had ever seen. He stood almost four feet and measured about seven feet from the tip of his nose to the tip of his tail. His great head and intelligent face was framed with a bristling white ruff. The rest of him ranged between tan and grey in col- or. The fact that he had been shipped all over the country, used in vaudeville, and for advertising purposes, accounted for his adapt- ability to his surroundings, and his friendly nature coupled with good humor. At the time we had him, he was advertising Purina Dow Chow, the only prepared dog food used in Antarctica. As my Dad is New Hamp- shire's representative for Ralston Purina Products, we had the honor of entertaining Meige for about a week. After spending a quiet day in the Sears and Roebuck show window, Meige would come home bursting with exuberance, and ready for anything. Although we have a large kitchen it seemed to be filled to cf' acity when Meige was there. How the chil- dren loved him! Our cat resented the in- trusion and was not afraid to show it. She was almost forgotten in some remote part of the house. In the evening Meige was ushered to his sleeping quarters, the cellar. This did not always please him and he would give a howl such as his ancestors sent up to the moon when hungry and lonely. One morning I got up early for the express purpose of taking Meige for his morning airing. It was a cold morning and we were having one of the first snow falls of this win- ter. This delighted Meige, and the result was that he took me for the airing. Where he wanted to go, on we went, and we went so far that I began to get worried about get- ting to school on time. While we were run- ning through the snowy streets of the still sleeping city of Manchester it seemed to me that Meige, with his big human eyes and his friendly bark, was trying to tell me what real snow and cold weather was, and about his experiences in Little America. He seemed to be saying, You don't know what it means to have the weather sixty-five degrees below. Youlre soft. You think this is cold, but you should have been with us at the South Pole.'l I shall never forget this famous dog with which I hated so to part. Since his visit with us, other dogs have seemed to me both un- important and insignificant. LORENE COMSTOCK. EACH A LEADER The leader of the orchestra is by far the most interesting member to watch from an opera seat, outside of a trick drummer, per- haps. The classical maestro looks as if he really had his whole heart and soul in the l y IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE 15 directing of his musicians. I picture him with tousled hair 'Cprobably because he runs his fingers up through it every little whilej, a large collar affording plenty of room for excess motion, and trousers that have no press whatsoever. ' He uses his free hand as much as his baton, and if someone shouted his name ten feet away, he wouldn't hear it because of such deep concentration. When a selection is finished, he wipes his brow, smooths his hair,' and gives the audience a curt bow. Now to go to the other extreme, where the leader is one Qof the musicians, not be- cause his orchestra is any better trained but because he has rriore faith in them to keep an even tempo and to notice each crescendo and diminuendo. He sits at the piano Cno musicj, looks at the dancers, ceiling, or any- thing that happens to catch his eye. Occasion- ally he waves his left hand slightly, more for the benefit of lhis audience than anything else. And then thereps the leader in a white lin- en suit who would rather talk into the micro- phone than direcf his players. He waves a highly polished black and white baton and taps his foot at the same time. Every so often he turns around and favors his following with an artificial smile such as you see in tooth paste advertisements. He has an over- estimated opiniorl of himself but a wonder- ful group of musicians. Which of these do you like best? I like the extremist-such as Fats Waller. DONALD PERRY. . .i,,1.1..-T 'ON A DARK AND STORMY NIGHT Outside, the wind was howling about the eaves, and blowing torrents of rain against the house. It was a wild night late in Octo- ber when such istorms are frequent at the beach. Inside our weather-beaten dwelling a cheery fire roared in the fireplace. The large hunk of driftwood on the andirons filled the room with the odor of tar as it burned mer- rily. Above the sound of the wind and rain we could hear the constant, thunderous roar of the waves as they dashed upon the rocky shore. It was high tide, higher than usual, and the waves were breaking far up on the rocks. As we sat reading by the fire, I suddenly thought I heard a sound which was neither the roaring of the wind, nor the door bump- ing against the side of the house. There heemed to be a pitiful howling coming from not far off. As I strained my ears to hear above the din, the sound seemed to come from somewhere near the region of the front porch. Our dog was awakened from his dreams of rabbit-hunting. He, too, heard the wailing. He growled deep down in his throat and his back bristled. What could be out on such a night? Gath- ering all my courage, I called my compan- ions, took Rigo by the collar, and opened the door. After turning on the porch light, I could see nothing for an instant. Then I made out a huddled form near the steps. I went over and picked up the whining crea- ture, and took it into the house. To our sur- prise, we beheld a shivering Collie puppy about four months old. She was drenched, cold, and apparently starving. Rigo strolled over to the newcomer, and after examining her curiously, showed his sympathy by lick- ing her dripping face. We gave the pup a pan of hot milk, and dried her fur thoroughly before the fire. Soon she seemed to feel much better. She was a pretty dog-golden with white markings. We did not know where she came from and could only assume that some summer people had gone off and left her to starve when they moved back to the city.

CROFTON THORP. SKIING AT MOUNT WASHINGTON In the Easter vacation of 1936 we started for Mount Washington, Roger Sanborn, Buster Truesdale, and I. We arrived at our destination, Pinkham Notch, at about three o'clock on a Monday afternoon. The climb was a hard one, because we had to carry enough provisions for four days. Our lug- gage consisted of skis, poles, cooking utensils, food, blankets and a small portable Kamp- cook stove. Arriving at the Half-way huts about eight o'clock, we built our fires and then went to bed on fir boughs, very comfortable to sleep on. A most exciting thing happened to us at Tucherman's Ravine. Sanborn had reached the top of the head wall and was about to fasten on his skis when he lost his balance and, with the help of the wind, came sliding down the side of the Ravine. As he went by us, we jumped on him. Lucky for him that we did, becausehe was headed for a rock. That night it rained, and the water loosen- ed the snow and started an avalanche. We heard it from the camp. It made a low rumbling sound that grew louder and more terrible as it came, bending or breaking every tree in its path. We jumped up and went out, but could not see a thing because it was so dark. The next day was a dreary one. It was still raining, but we wanted to go up to the Ravine to see what happened the night before. The opening into it was blocked. In the distance we could see the water coming off the head wall. That made up our minds. We started down the mountains for home. The brook had risen from two to three feet over night. Sanborn crossed it with difficul- ty, and Buster and I threw our luggage across to him. We finally got to the bottom. The trip home was uneventful except for the T- bone steak we had in Laconia. EDWIN MOORE. A NEW HAT Easter! What does that mean to you? A few days' vacation, real start of spring, a new suit? Maybe so. To me it means the spell of mad hilarity ...... this buying a new hat. An Easter bonnet, to me, is more than just any kind of hat. It seems as if it is a bit of spring, a whiff of apple blossoms, the song of a bird. Because it is so symbolical, I am very particular what kind of hat I buy. I go prepared to fight it out to the end. From an advance showing of new chap- eaux, I know that this season I shall spend another crazy period looking for a spring headgear. I was all ready with a sweet dis- position Q which lasted only at the first starej, a friend, a comb and a mirror, and a deter- mined mind to find a hat that not only was chic, and becoming, but one that was fairly respectable-looking. For weeks, I know I shall be haunted by those hats. Small ones! Big ones! Wide brims! Narrow brimsl Greta Garbo hats! Ginger Roger's hats! Sailor hats! Soldier's hats! Arabian turbans: Mandarin hats! Flow- ers, oh Howers Everywhere, on top, all over the top, on one side or the other, in front, in back! Oh, heavens, was there no end? But it was all in vain! What had I to show for it-a darling hat, a chic model, a bit of spring, a flowery turban-oh, no. I had a headache! BARBARA HEAD.

KENTUCKY TO BROADWAY On one of tlilose miserable, dark, rainy days the show fblded up in a little town in Kentucky after lbsing money in every village from New York to Kentucky, so it wasn't surprising, although one little girl wasn't pre- pared for it. 5 Barbara gazed down the sleepy street, which passed the small hotel porch, wonder- ing what she slhould do next. What could she do to earn money in the town to ger her carfare back to New York? The rest of the troupe had wired home or drawn our their savings, but sheihad no home to wire to and her savings-well, she had them in the palm of her hand, two thin dimes. As for borrow- ing from the others, they were having their own troubles without worrying about her. If she could only get back to New York maybe she could get a chance in Zinger's latest play. She had heard he was looking for new talent. l Barbara's lips curved bitterly. If she could only get to New York. She had plenty of new talent. Suddenly she heard voices be- hind her. Onel was saying: Mr. Zinger, it seems such a ciiazy thing to do. You have a hillbilly play, and so you come to Kentucky, not to get local color as the public expected, but to get a new star. Why not take one from New York? Barbara's skin prickled. Mr. Zinger, Mr. Roger Zinger, who was producing this new play she had just been thinking of. Call it wild or crazy, the other voice was speaking now, Call it anything you want but the theater needs new talent and new blood. I'm going to find it. Unless l can find a girl who was raised in the hillza, a girl who has Kentucky in her veins and in her heart I'll never put on that playf, Hidden by the back of the leather chair, Barbara sat tensely waiting, her heart pound- ing. Well, the first voice again, You've got nerve, hunting for a star in a dump like this. Now just one more question Mr. Zinger 'I Sorry, the voice was less plain, he was moving away. I'm on my way into the hills this afternoon. I'm staying at Old Iane's place, and I won't be back until I have a star tucked under my arm. Barbara bit her lips thoughtfully as she sank back into the chair. New talent, where would he find it out here? f'Old Iane's place for headquarters. Star tucked under his arm. She had it. oa in a cloud of dust to her room, she was new talent. She, at Old Ianels place! She, the star tucked under his arrn. H' The next morning, with the bright sun beating down upon her shining bare head, as she trudged along the dusty mountain road, Barbara was dressed in a red and blue check- ed gingham dress which she had got from the chambermaid in exchange for her own stylish suit. In the early hours of the dawn, she had slipped out of the hotel. At six, she washed her face in a cool stream to refresh herself. At ten olclock the tiny village was far be- hind, She was headed for Old Iane's. Cau- tious questioning of the sleepy hotel clerks 13 IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE informed her of the route. Now it was only a matter of time before she would reach her destination as a simple country girl looking for work. That's what she planned to tell. After- ward. she would have to work out the rest of her scheme. Somehow, she would make Zinger see that she was the girl he was look- ing for. Soon she came to Iane's place and found Mr. Zinger stretched out on the steps. She advanced slowly brushing the curls away from her forehead. Hello, stranger, she breathed in a low voice. I can't say's I've seen you arounl these parts afore. Where's your home? The man got to his feet, his glance never leaving her face. I am a stranger, he agreed smiling. My home is in New York. New York, she whispered, clasping her hands. I always wanted to go to New York. She wasn't playing a game now. She was a mountain girl, in a gingham dress, with dreams burning in her black eyes. She spread the short skirt in her grimy hands and took a couple of gliding steps, throwing back her head and lifting her face to the sky. New York. Barbara almost sang the words. Do they dance like this? For a long moment she whirled there, her legs fairly twinkling, her hair flying out be- hind her like a stream of Fire. She was youth, dancing a dream, and then with a laugh she sank down and was still, her chin in her hands, her eyes staring into Roger's face. Tell me about it, she murmured. Tell me about the purty ladies. Tell me about the theater where girls dance, and men throw posies at theah feet. A moment before she had been a flame. Now she was quiet as a deep stream, calm as a still lake dreaming in the sun. Roger Zinger stood very still, like a man who doesn't dare breathe for fear he will blow away a vision. Suddenly he threw back his head and laughed triumphantly. As she heard that laugh, Barbara knew that she had not failed. He believed in her. MARIORIE LINDAHL.

THE SPORT OF FALL The opening of the football season in the fall is very thrilling for the members of the squad. The coach at once warns the players to keep in shape and gives them training rules such as getting plenty of sleep, avoid- ing certain foods, and giving up cigarettes. The coach knows the work the athlete does causes him to lose weight and the only way he can gain it back is sleep. Athletes usually sleep from eight to ten hours daily. The practice starts promptly at three o'clock and usually ends two hours later. Then the player walks home, eats his supper, and commences his studies. If he is badly bruised or very tired, he will not want to do his studies. On the other hand, if he is not affected by the practice he will attack his studies with order. In the morning the play- er wakes up in a rather stiff condition from yesterday's initial practice, eats wholesome food, and starts off for school. His relaxa- tion is sleep, and no one has to tell him, either. if IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER or THE ORACLE 19 The day before the game the coach warns the fellows to jump into bed earlier than usual and tells them to get into a proper frame of mind. ifOften, the night before the game the player will toss in his bed, thinking only of itomorrow's game and con- centrating on his signals to make sure he knows themj. Tihe coach gives a light prac- tice, consisting of signal drills, passing, and kicking. Afterwards some of the players go to a show in order to ease their tension. As you all know, injuries may result from the scheduled contest. The participants hard- ly feel the injury until the game is over. The next morning, he will feel very stiff. The swelling of the muscles is either taken out by rubbing them or by applying hot towels. If it is a minor injury, he is allowed to resume practice. If the injury is not determined T by the coach or the trainer, the player is sent to the school doctor. The most common in- juries are bruises of the bones, and sprains of muscles and ligaments. Injuries are divided into two classes, lmajor and minor. A major one, for example, would be a broken leg or a broken hand, while a bruised bone would be considered minor. After the final game of the season is played and the football equipment is returned to the faculty manager, the athlete often wonders, Why did I go in for football? Have I got anything out of it?,' Well, during those three months, his soft muscles were convert- ed into hard ones. He played football be- cause he liked it, I think, and not for the school. His will, endurance, and resistance were tried again and again. He had constant practice in co-operation. He met the enemy 'Lhere and there.', He experiencd victory and defeat. Many people believe that the fellows who play football do' so in order to get their pic- tures in the paper. On the whole, I donit believe that, though a few may play for that reason. Football helps the athlete to take it. I mean two different things by this phrase take it:' First, whether he can take the physical punishment involved in a game, and second, whether he can take it after the team has lcst. Many fans bombard the players with ridicule after loss of a major game, but the boys, on the whole, simply pay no attention to the aggressors. Others, who can't take it, protect themselves from ridi- cule by offering excuses, and laying the blame on the bad judgment of the quarter- back. IOSEPH URBAN. PORCUPINES ARENVI' PETS Would you like a pet? The porcupine is a prickly little number. He has his points. In fact they stick out all over him when he's disturbed. He is at home either on the ground or in trees-Chat trees will do in cases of domesticationj When Porky feels annoyed, he curls into a close little ball so that only his quills can be seen. If dogs try to attack, as they some- times do, doggie gets the quills, and the vet- erinarian gets a hurried call. Porky's tail is the hammer that drives the barbs into the victimis Hesh. They are diffi- cult to remove and cause slow poisoning if they remain too long. The attributes of this animal are not very favorable, so having discouraged you in the matter of ownership, may I sell you a dog? RUTH DEARBORN. THOUGHTS ON THE MURALS Under the able direction of Mr. Lorrain E. Ryder, the murals in the art room have Hnally been completed. Many expressed won- der and appreciation while visiting the ex- hibition early in May. Interviews with some of these capable young artists have been most gratifying.

CHARLOTTE BROWN. QCompiled by Rose Georgej A DESIGN FOR LIVING Design is order, and simplicity is its key- note. Design consists of harmony, balance, and rhythm. So should one's plan be for living. Or- der in our lives is the first requisite, and then we introduce those three elements that create good design. First, balance: Not being ex- treme in dress, in manners, or in action, but contriving to maintain an even keel. Toler- ance is a means to attain this. Next, we must keep our lives in harmony with our surroundings, adapt ourselves to people, to our own environment, to the world itself, and to the times within which we are living. When people live in the past, or are ahead of the time, we say they are out of time or out of harmony. Third: To gain the real joy of life for our- selves we must have rhythm, and as some of the songs show We Have Rhythm in Our Nursery Rhymes, rhythm in our dancing feet, and rhythm in the real joy of living. Enthusiasm, cheerfulness, gaiety and song make up the rhythm of life. VVith all these elements we must simplify our lives throw- ing away everything we Hnd that clutters and detracts from our theme. All that ho'd us back from real accomplishment must be discarded, and only the essentials left to please us with clarity and simple charm. SHIRLEY RICH. DISTANT RUMBLINGS I was there when it happened. As a mat- ter of fact, I might have prevented it had I been more quick-witted. I was walking down Yorkshire Lane and had almost reached the junction where the lane meets The King's Highway. The highway was then a famous royal post road. I hoped to catch a glimpse of the Royal Mail Coach. Often I strolled down to the highway when I knew the mail was going by. Today, I had heard that the payroll was going to a royal garrison, with officers of the Royal Hussars, the usual pretty girls, and straight fare. The highway loomed up ahead and I quickened my pace as I heard the distant rumble of the coach. Suddenly across the highway I saw twouthree .,.. no, four men emerging from the undergrowth. I stood fixed to the spot. Then with a sudden real- ization I knew that these were highwaymen who killed first and robbed afterward. These men were the type that would be hanged if ever caught. The rumble of the coach grew louder. I got out of sight in the bushes and watched, holding my breath for fear of de- ! IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE 21 tection. The coaqh came around the bend. The men leaped out in front of it. One grabbed the horses, one covered the driver and guard. Another threw open the door. The OHSICCYS began to protest. Up came the old thunderblast and down went the officer. This was all mere routine. I heard two more reports, and saw the driver and guard sitting in their places, heads slumping grotesquely. ,....And the two pretty girls? One would think they could lhave been spared, but no. The same cold-hearted malice and disregard for life effected their death. The men then took the heavy chest of money and the sack of mail, and disappeared. I started forward to do what I could, but I knew it was useless. At night, now, years later as I walk down past the spot, I often imagine that I can hear the rumble of the coach-the same coach- going forward, ever forward. IOHN B. CRAM.

The palm trees on Waterfront Street swayed gently in the warm breeze, the clop clop of horses, hoofs and the sound of bicycle bells ringing here and there were sounds heard every night. A large cruise steamer was tied up at the dock and the mu- sic of a dance band in the dancing salon could be heard as it drifted over the waters of St. George's harbor. Alongside of the steamer lay a British man-of-war with a sen, try pacing up and down the deck. In the native quarters, all was serene. Natives sing- ing to the plunk plunk of a banjo only made the night like every night in Bermuda. The fragrant lily fields were ghostly white in the moonlight as were the white and pink lime- stone houses with their white guttered roofs. But they were white and ghostly every night, too. Nothing unusual ever happened in Bermuda. Still under all this peace and calmness there was an under-current of restlessness this night. A dog barked out in a banana grove, and it was a restless bark, but even dogs barked every night on the isle. Charles sat with his back to a palm tree, wishing something would happen. He had been in Bermuda three years now and nothing had ever yet happened that was out of the ordinary. The calm had almost put him to sleep when he heard the police alarm go off. He jumped up and ran toward the dock. Maybe a desperate criminal had been found, or maybe a woman's pearls had been taken, or even the Bank of Bermuda had been broken into. He was soon joined by groups of people all wishing to see what had happened. Visions Hew through Charles' mind. At last something unusual had hap- pened. Hurray! Hurray! Then as he turned the corner he saw that a dog had turned on the police alarm by breaking the glass. What a disappointment! Charles returned to his 22 IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE palm tree, discouraged. No, nothing un- usual ever happened in Bermuda. The isle of peace and quiet. ROGER SANBORN.

I work my lingers to the bone, But things are very slow. I supported little Dickie, The cutest little guy With curley hair and cross-like scar Directly o'er his eye. T IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE 23 An unknown aunt came from the South And with her took him back, She' hated me, I don't know why, Perchance I was too slack. I'll never forget dear Dickie, Of him I dreamt at night, But then in eighteen sixty-one, I had to go and fight. I fought with General Sherman, To Georgia with him went I. He gave me a special mission, The enemy to spy. I crept up to the' Southern line And then I heard a sound, I cocked my gun and held my breath, And sharply peered around. I saw a sentinel'S outline, Dim against a tree, He drew his gun but I shot first- 'Twas either him or me. I scurried to where he had fallen, His eyes were straying afar, I held his head, and o'er his eye I saw a cross-like scar. My God, what is your name? I groaned. He couldn't speak but tried. He whispered faintly, Dickie, Then weakly moaned and died. I sat there stunned and stupid, Crying like a mother. I hadn't lost a babe, but oh, I had killed my' brother! THOMAS E. BARTLETT. In the play Le: Americain: Chez Nous, written by Brieux in 1919, a young French physician of Fine family becomes engaged to a wealthy American Red Cross worker. His sister, who had made great sac- rifices to provide for his education, hates to sec him marry a foreigner. The near-hostility of the two girls comes to the surface in the following scene. Scene from Les Americains Chez Nous-By Brieux SCENE 8 NELLIE: fvery loyalj In spite of all the good that Henry told me about you, my dear Henriette, I believed, before seeing you, that you were a crabbed old maid with a dried-up heart, and had promised myself to reduce our contacts to such as were unavoidable. HENRIETTE: fsorrowfulj That will be as you please. NELLIE: Now, I should like to have you for my friend. I-IENRIETTE: Friendship does not come on order. NELLIE: It is won, you mean . I-IENRIETTE: Yes. NELLIE: You had let me believe that I had won your friendship, Henriette, and I was training myself to deserve it. You had trusted me. HENRIETTE: Perhaps. NELLIE: You told me one day that I was like a sister to you. HENRIETTE: It's true. NELLIE: You would not repeat it to me today? HENRIETTE: Don't torment me... l am tired, tired. NELLIE: I think that we are just at the point where an explanation between us is needed. HENRIETTE: Well, then, soon-tomorl row-another day. NELLIE: This evening, after dinnc I-IENRIETTE: If you wish. Call Henry 24 IUNE fHGLA!A NUMBER OF THE ORACLE back. He must be wondering about this con- versation. NELLIE: It was he who advised it. HENRIETTE: Then ..... NELLIE: fwithout the least hostility, but also without affection, Come, my dear Hen- riette, have you something more to say to me? HENRIETTE: No. NELLIE: :Why, then, do you no longer act the same toward me? I-IENRIETTE: I am wrong. NELLIE: You have given yourself so gen- erously, so completely to your brother, dur- ing all his life, is it painful to you now to have no longer the sole care of his happiness and his future? I-IENRIETTE: Perhaps that is it. NELLIE: ffriendly, but not tenderj Hen- riette, we can't become angry with each other for such a reason ..,.. You can't wish that HENRIETTE: No, indeed, indeed, nol I do not wish it. Quite on the contrary! NELLIE: The simplest thing in the world has happened. Henry is going to be mar- riad. Already the ties which hind him to his family are no longer the only ties which bind him. It's life ,... every day life The Bible says: Thou shalt leave thy father and thy mother ....,. Plaainly it is painful for the family, but one must adjust oneself to it ,.,.. At home, in the United States, we do not make so much fuss about it ..,.. A boy leaves ,....marries....., Well, Try your luck .... In France, you put emotion into every- thing ,..... HENRIETTE: fas if to excuse herselfj I am a French woman. NELLIE: And a beautiful one! but you do not stop to think that, unless we guard ourselves against it, this error of emotion brings us both precisely where we do not wish to go, that is to say, to the point of sep- aration? I-IENRIETTE: fcoldlyj Your words are those of reason itself? I have to make some effort in order to adjust myself to the new conditions of my existence. Henry's coming marriage is a separation, it is a break ...,.. QWith a restrained emotionj a tearing apart. I feel the sorrow of it. Perhaps you might have perceived that and spared me certain painful experiences. NELLIE: Painful experiences? What have they been? HENRIETTE: What advantage will there be in telling them? NELLIE:What advantage? This impor- tant one: that they don't happen again. Why keep them secret? HENRIETTE: Donit you know them? Didn't you just have an example of them, just now? You dispose of Henry as you would of your chauffeur ..,... Why ...... , yes ,... . and sometimes you speak to him in the same tone. These are the customs of your coun- try, it seems. You might take a little pains in order to bring yourself a little nearer to our customs, since you are going to live in France. LILLIAN LEFABRE.

Mr. Stoklosa was the Swist clerk who waited on them. He ushered them to the left hand Rheault and told them to be seat- ed. Not being Rich they refused to pay Moore than four dollars. Miss Morrill tried a pair on but they hit a nerve in her foot and she began to be Tremblay. She soon recov- ered, however, and Moher shoes were brought out. An ideal pair of suede was displayed and they Worthen decided until their friend Mr. Smith, a Poelhman for the Public Service, appeared and laughed at the style. Mr. Morissette took his hand out of his Paquette and ordered the shoes taken back. Rozmus you show such hideous shoes to them? asked Mr. Smith indignant- ly and walked away. Pearson open a new package, he brought forth another finer pair. They are worth their weight in Silverman, he proclaimed. They were satisfied, so the shoes were wrapped up and Ioy was spread on their faces when they began to Trott out. DOROTHY MERCER. CAN YOU IMAGINE- Butch Timmons not taking a kidding?

At the same time you're apt to feel somewhat LOST in your new surroundings, besides the fact that youire TORMENTED by upperclassmen. PLEASE BELIEVE ME, even tho' I'm one of them, lim writing this in an attempt to help you out. Now is the time for you to show what you can do. For one thing, you should be SHOOTING HIGH for the Honor Roll. There's no sense in waiting too long, so start now. And get this-donlt think you can get a mark by acting GOODY-GOODY towards a teacher. That does not go in high school. Why, even an old CROSS-PATCH will give you a decent mark, if you earn it the right way. In other words, if you don't want to BOO-HOO when you receive your report- card, just get right down to business. You'll get along O. K. by just MAKING THE BEST OF EACH DAY. I suppose I should be IN A DANCING MOOD thinking about the LOVELY LADY I'll be taking to the reception soon. Yet I can't help feeling a little blue when I look back over all the good times I had in High school. People are wrong when they say we graduates have NO REGRETS, and I mean this WITH ALL MY HEART. I never felt that way UNTIL TODAY, when I realized how near Graduation time was. Those four years just seemed to Hy by. Illl bet any amount of money that YOU'RE LAUGHING AT ME for getting so sentimental, but in ALL MY LIFE I was never more earnest in anything I said. Why don't you try letting some of this sink in? YOURS TRULY, A Typical Senior. Mr. Eugkne L. Tougas Head of the French Department Our Photographer. 62 IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE IN CLASS Our Photographer Mr. Eugene L. Tougas was born in Rhode Island and educated at College Sainte-Marie at Montreal. He majored in French and Latin and was graduated in 1915. Before coming here in September, 1925, as head of the French department, he taught in Rhode Island and Connecticut. About 1910, he be- gan, like all amateurs, with a small box-like camera which was later replaced by a card- sized one, with which he took pictures of clubs and organizations in the college he at- tended. The candid camera shown in the picture is a Leica fpronounced lye ka.j It takes pictures about the size of a postage stamp, which can then be enlarged. This type of photography is called minican, and Mr. Tougas, although an amateur, is well- known as a minican artist. He is a familiar hgure on the sidelines at football games, tak- ing pictures with this camera. In his opinion, action pictures of track or football are the best. He has his own photography workshop and can be found there many evenings. He is an ofhcer in the reserve, being captain of the infantry. With Captain Whittemore he has, for several yearsfhelped boys who wish to attend the C. M. T. C. He has a family of four children, one of whom, Eugene Ir., graduated here last Iune and is now attend- ing college. The average student does not realize or appreciate the active and important part Mr. Tougas plays in this school. We really owe him a debt of gratitude, for his pictures of all sports and artistic productions of our school appear in every Aglaia number of the Oracle and preserve the great work of our predecessors, the progress of our present classmates, and picture the way for the fu- ture pupils of this great school.

You wouldn't want to, you who have done so much for us. There are none to whom you are more dear than to us, none who will miss you more. People eveqywhere want spoken drama, real stage. The citizens of Manchester have been as eager to receive the Maskrs' plays as we hav been to present them. Young though we are, you have made us put on perform- ances of which we may well be proud. You have enabled us to exemplify the real force for culture that drama can exist. You have taught us that dramatic work is a craft, shown us how its many phases are inter-related to form an artistic whole, made us see the necessity for harmony. We know that one element out of tone can spoil an en- tire effect. We appreciate the shading and depth of a significant speech, the degree of lighting to blend with the mood of a scene, the grouping of characters to intensify a climax, the placing of background for a fig- ure for kneeling at prayer. Through the music of the orchestra on a first night, the sound of a low, clear voice again, at the parting of .the curtains, that familiar nod of encouragement ...,,, We thank you-we of the past, for your friendship, one of the present for your guidance, we of the future for your inspiration. We thank you for your gift, which no one can take away-yourself, Marion Sawyer. DOROTHY KENNEDY, 1934A. A FURTHER RANGE Man yearns for self-expression. It is one of his primary instincts and because it is, his happiness depends largely on the extent to which he is able to express his personality. And since happiness is the goal of the aver- age person, the two are very closely allied. If the mode of self-expression were uni- versal, happiness would also be universal. But it isn't. In each of us there is the same desire, but because our personalities vary widely, our methods of self-expression must vary accordingly. Some men find means in their work or in hobbies, others in the arts, but the majority of us never attain complete self-expression. Our daily work, which oc- cupies most of our time, is not in keeping, often, with the mode best adapted to our in- dividual needs. We need to evolve a totally different manner of choosing a vocation, for our happiness at our daily work depends on the extent to which it offers us a chance to reveal ourselves. All present systems of selecting an occupa- tion stress development of our ability into money-earning power. These are satisfactory as far as they go, but their implications are erroneous. Money does not necessarily bring happiness, neither do our abilities always coincide with the right mode of expression. Though no definite method could be de- vised to show us the best way to express our personality, high schools and colleges could help us greatly by striving to broaden our perception of life, to give us a finer sense of values, and to stimulate our imagination. R. K. W. 72 IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER or THE ORACLE OUR SCHOOL NEWSPAPER Many times in the Oracle has an appeal been made for a weekly or bi-weekly school paper. Groups from the Senate and I-Ii-Y, under the leadership of Mr. Thomas, have responded to the plea with the presentation of the Central Hi-Lights, a small mimeo- graphed feature. This paper has been in great demand throughout the spring. In or- der to win even more subscribers next year, it should be improved upon. It can be and will be, there is no doubt of that. We be- speak for next year's editors and for next year's bigger and better Hi-Lights the com- plete co-operation of the Central reading pub- lic. D. P. PRO I-HSTORY In most student groups there seems to be a rather widespread aversion to history. The biased ones vindicate their antipathy on the grounl that history is dull and that its ben- efits do not warrant its study, Their first ac- cusation reveals too little use of imagination, while their second is totally false. Modern historians endeavor to picture the advance of society as vividly as is possible in writing. How then can we, as students, de- rive both pleasure and benefit from their work? In the first place, we must unfetter our imagination. If we do this successfully, we shall find the past to be a pageant in epi- sodes of superb and dynamic drama. Second, we must not judge the actions of our dear forefathers in the light of present day moral and intellectual advancement. Human nature never changes, it is said, but thought does change, and so we can hardly be surprised that our ancestors did not deal with circum- stances in the same manner that we would. And last, we must remove all prejudice both in regard to the past and to history as study. If we conform to these simple rules, history should become an endless source of pleasure. Our daily contacts with history are so nu- merous that probably many pass unheeded: our school subjects, such as English, Latin, French, and sociology, in recreations, such as books, plays, and movies, in travel, whether through our own country or far away, in sermons and lectures or others of our self- educational pursuits. Perhaps the historical aspect of contemporary events is the greatest force in making us history-conscious. As we grow older we are increasingly made to see that history is an ever present factor in our life. How, then, without a reasonable under- standing of it, can we realize the full value and significance of everyday contacts with it? History, in some degree, is an essential part of every education. Without a knowl- edge of it, one is likely to gain a wrong con- ception ot events or personages of the past. He may get the glorious mixed up with the inglorious in the march of mankind. Study reveals facts. This phase of education is one of the first requisites of culture, which, with- out it, is sham. And finally, we must real- ize that a person is the wiser for his knowl- edge of history. The experience of the past guides the present and reveals the future. R. C. H. TOO MANY BILLBOARDS Sir Thomas Lipton was one of the first to say, and prove that advertising pays. The highways of New Hampshire are a living monument of this. Our state is fast becom- ing a great vacationlandg big fand littlej business know it. All of us who have seen the White Moun- tains have been impressed and delighted by their beauty. We have also noticed signs,- multitudes of them,-advising us what shav- ing cream to use, and which soap is the gen- tlest and yet the most cleansing. The nature lover says, No signs, the business man, The more the merrierf' We all agree that some are necessary, but on our highways there are far too many. IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE 73 Financially, the? tourist is important. He comes to view otlr natural wonders. If he wanted advertising he could stay at home and listen to the radio. The pessimest will say, We can find billboards everywhere, but he is wrong.i Eleven states now have state organizations for the protection of road- side beauty, and pthers are reporting an in- crease in public resentment. Here in New England Yankee lmagazines fired the open- ing gun of a campaign against roadside ugli- ness. i We want to sed New Hampshire's Granite Hills, not New l-lampshire's billboard-stud- ded hills. Let uslstrive to achieve our desire. l H. H. l ,,.....,.l.- PREPARED Days of languiid laziness, hours of merry singing, periods of unprepared recitations, moments of subldued excitement,-Gradua tion evokes them alll We sit through Award Day, staring back at a staring audience. We march up the aisle at the close of Sing-out braving the curibus gaze of sentimentalists and cynics. Wd sing the Class Ode and Hail, Alma Mater with the first genuine fervor on Gradiiation Night. Then at last itis all over! But is it? Graduation is really the beginning of a new life. The older generation fears for us, but it neednlt. Glenn Frank says in an essay that we are coddled in our education, that we aren't trained to face life. Theoretically we aren't, but actually we are. School is a little world, and it can be no more sheltered from storms than can the con- tinents and oceans that make up our uni- verse. Here in school we have had our private heartaches and triumphs. We have had our ideals and been disillusioned. We have seen friends turn into enemies, and en- emies turn into friends. We have been giv- en undeserved praise and unmerited blame. We have learned the art of competition in studies and in outside activities. We have learned that life is complex and interesting, but not beautiful. High School has been just a preliminary training in hard knocks, and we have profited according to our sut- fering. Now it's all over-except for the graduate course. We have no great illusions as to what the future holds in store for us, nor are we dis- couraged by bleak prospects. We have been learning how to take it, and who shall say we are not ready? P. A. H.

TRACK The Manchester Central track team was called to a hasty meeting by Ray Pelletier on the eve of the annual Durham interstate school meet. From lack of training Central had to be content with ninth place. At the time, Erskine and Voisard, two of Central's stars, were out of action. The roster of the squad for the season was as follows: Iames Kean, Francis Smith, Robert Erskine, Lau- rence Bramhall, Chester Healy, Lloyd Fish- man, Lionel Voisard, George Gardner, Red Iohnson, Richard Hammond, Frank Piecuck, Iohn Blateos, George Pierce, Donald Irving, Ernest Harris, lack Fellman, Walter Con- nors, and George Goulet. i GOLF After the scores of the qualifying round held at the Derryfiell Country Club had been tallied, it was announced that Charles Scrib- ner, Iames Dodge, George Abbot, Elliott Iewell, Franklin Bertrand, and William Davison would represent Central on the links for the 1937 campaign. Scribner, Derryfield and Intervale Clubs champion, was elected captain. The team is coached by Hubie Mc- Donough. A lively schedule was released by Faculty Manager Lamprey, and out of five games the team has played, it has won four games and tied the fifth. i , E' I AA!!!-- 1 X .5 f ' Q Q-5 Y ' e .X 1' The joy derived from an exchange depart- ment cannot be easily expressed. Few are they who can read an exchange column and form an opinion concerning the schools which have been commented on. Merely orchids to everyone, they say. That may be so, but we of the exchange department smile, and say to ourselves, little do they know of the good every magazine contains. So, fel- low exchange editors, Chins up. Turning again to New York we find The Kalends of Delaware Academy and Central School, Delhi. The make-up of this Fine magazine deserves real praise. Everything is presented in a very appealing manner. The literature, to say the least, is fine. From away down South comes a breezy paper with all the lure of vacationland, The Blue Devil of Winter Haven High School. The cuts offer us a chance to picture this far- away school in all its splendor. The Proviso Pagent from Maywood, Illi- nois, is another one of those snappy weeklies. It contains a very good magazine section. Hartford, Connecticut, sends us the Owlet, which indicates plainly a great interest in athletics. More power to you, Hartford. Your '-l1..- N1 .ffanlry Iffnra-.s5A write-ups show that you're going places. The Pinnacle of Meredith High School proves to us that they have school spirit. We like the way they provide space for the four classes. You music lovers should go South. From Greenville, North Carolina comes Green Lights. Evidently they appreciate music down there. Our congratulations are right behind them. Our great admiration for Lasell Leaves has prompted us to devote a whole paragraph in to praise. We have been exchanging with Lasell junior College in Auburndale, Massachusetts, for several years, and each issue which we read stirred anew our feeling of appreciation for quality work. ln our long list of exchanges we have school mag- azines and papers of several different types. Lasell Leaves stands high in our estimation as a literary magazine. The short stories, essays, plays, poems and editorials are among the Finest we have ever read all gethered to- gether in one magazine. Fortunate indeed is Lasell College to have such promising wri- ters and poets. We must also put in a word for the charming illustrations that brighten Lasell Leaves. May we exchange with them for many a year to come. LU AN INTERVIEW Last Ianuary, Miss Marguerita Broderick, class of l923A, served as chairman of the committee in charge of the President's ball in Manchester. This committeef' she said, was composed of various people who have all been more or less successful, but the diffi- culty was that very few of them, if any, were acquainted with each other. In spite of this, because we were working for the same cause, and were all very enthusiastic about it, we really worked very well together. Perhaps better than some groups not hav- ing that difficulty to cope with, I silently re- Hected, thinking of Oracle meetings. The ball, as we all know, was a huge suc- cess, the governor himself attending, and the music being furnished by Ierry'Kearney's or- chestra. We made around twelve hundred dol- lars, said Miss Broderick, and turned it over to a society for the benefit of crippled children. You see, by giving it to a children's organization, instead of to one for adults who have been afflicted with the paralysis, We could do twice as much good, so naturally we wanted t ogive it to them. What do you mean, I asked her, by saying you could do twice as much good? Well,,' replied Miss Broderick, the Fed- eral Government will contribute as much again if the money is given to children. Prob- ably the reason for this is that they wish to do as much as they can while the patients are young so that the results of the disease may not be so bad in the future. The proceeds of the President's balls all over the country have helped much to aid those who have suf- fered from paralysis, but it is the hope of everyone that some time the sickness may be wiped out altogether.

BOOK TALK We have been fortunate this spring in re- ceiving two gift books to add to our collec- tion in the library. The first is Marathon by Clarence De Mar, given by Harry Preston, M. H. S., 1900, adviser of the Manchester Club of Keene Normal. The second is an autographed copy of Preserve, Protect and Defend, by Mr. Chris. I. Agrafiotis, a member of Manchester Cen- tral's faculty. The five books won by the Maskers at the New England Drama Contest have also been placed on the shelves of the library. Plays for the College Theater, collected and edited by Garrett H. Leverton, is a book of stagecraft, acting, and directing. There are twenty-seven plays in the book, with each the study of tempo, mood, atmosphere, cli-max, suspense, and grouping. The types of plays include poetry, prose, farce, comedy, melodrama, and tragedy. Historic Costume for the Stage, by Lucy Barton, illustrated by David Sarvis, is a study for the amateur producer. It begins with the Egyptian costume of 4000 B. C. and contin- ues to 1914. Everybody's Theatre and How to Make It, written and illustrated by W. H. Whanslaw, does exactly as the title promises. It tells about the construction of the stage, pageants, and puppet shows. The tools and materials for scenery and setting are described in every detail. Twenty Short Plays on a Royalty Holiday, edited by Margaret Magorga and illustrated by Alphonse Bare, offered for public use, royalty free, until 1940. Pantomime for Stage and Study, by T. Earl Pardoe, would give any one grace for stagework. The book starts with instructions for very simple pantomimes and like a text- book builds up to more difficult ones. It has 'K' treatment for the individual, his head, torso and limbs. Shakespearean characters are used to exemplify different types of panto- mime. MAXINE IOHNSON. BOOK REPORTS The Curtain Falls, the autobiography of Ioseph Verner Reed, a great play producer, gives glimpses of the true characters of many actors and actresses. lt's an exciting story of the career of a busy man who was extremely fond of the theatre, and all that went with it. The book shows that play-producing is no easy job, and that Mr. Reed's life was just one of hurry, worry and disappointment, un- til success came to him. ELIZABETH TORREY. Balletomania is written from a personal angle. It is the story of an adventurous search for experience that gives the max- imum of pleasure at a performance. The dancer is the supreme professional and at the same time the only true amateur in the theatre today, as she definitely lives for her art, and not for what it brings. The bal- let dancer is the perfect example of the bal- ance between the individual and the group. Her whole aim is to shine as a ballerina, yet she subordinates herself to the whole, the ballet. EDITH HUNT. Rabbi Ben Ezra.-Robert Browning. The excellent and characteristic philosophy brought forth in this poem is conducive to considerable thought. It is a new idea for- mulated in an original and brilliant manner. JUNE AGLAIA NUMBER OF THE ORACLE 83 He asserts that success isn't always the crowning achievement in this world, so we must look forward triumphantly to another world. In Memoriam, written by Tennyson over a period of seventeen years, and composed of many small poems, is an elegy over the death of a friend. It is one of the four great elegies in English Literature. This piece of writing covers practically all of the phases regarding death, immortality and the things that God has bestowed on Man. The Barrel-Organ-Alfred Noyes. This poem shows the power of music over human emotions, and tells of the effect on different classes of people as they hear the music. The lines themselves are very musical. One of the Bo'sun's Yarns is a narrative poem of the sea, showing Iohn MaseHeld's love for it. The picturesque language of the sailors is used here, and reveals the effect of Masef1eld's former environment. It also shows that he knows the kind of poetry that best pleases the modern reader. ELLSWORTH GOODELL. Sir Roger de Coverley Papers. Sir Roger is a creature worth contemplation. Addison paints him as a quaint old fellow full of vir- tues-and imperfections. The combination of the two instantly humanizes him. The sensible treatment of this character removes him from the circle of ridicule. The humor which the presentation of Sir Roger conveys is delicate and light. One feels charm eman- ating from him because of the goodness of his intent, and the gentility of his manner. Addison's has skillfully portrayed a rare type of person-a book character-who, like Mi- cawber, is more of a reality than an illusion. Style is partly responsible for this feeling. Addison's word sketches are shaded glimpses, neither lengthy nor involved. Interest and understanding in his subject are shown by his vocabulary which is simple, chatty, yet dignified. His challenge to the reader is un- written: Sympathize and enjoy, or lacking sympathy, be bored. Q ii' All- 5 ' P . f Past Experience? Miss McNulty: ls this a metaphor? I-Ie is a lion.

I have heard That people in love sitting 'neath the moon Have by the very magic of its spell Been struck so to the soul that presently They have proclaimed their affections, For love, though it have no tongue, will speak With most miraculous organ. I'll take her To a movie playing something like the scene Of my imagination. Iill observe her looks, I'll tent her to be quick: if she but blush I know I'm right. The thoughts that I have had Maybe the devil: and the devil hath power To assume a pleasing shape, yea, and perhaps Out of my weakness and my amorousness, As he is very potent with such thoughts, Abuses me to torment me: I'll have reasons More 'relative than this: the movie's the ground Which will awaken her conscience to sound.

And guess who caught her? The jan- itor! She was digging in one of the barrels after something, the Lord only knows what she was looking for! It happened just about the time school let out, and when we ap- peared, she was sitting on a wall with a very woe-begone face, as if the world were com- ing to an end-. We sympathized with her, but she paid no attention at all, just sat there -poor cat! SHIRLEY RICH. Brotherly Love Miss Morrison: Has anyone gone down to Boston to see Brother Rat? Leon Eckman: Why should IP I have one of my own. To Mr. Geometry Teacher His first period class is as dumb as can be, The dumbest, I vow, is poor little me. He makes me get up in front of the class, Construct crooked figures from one jumbled mass, Construct angle b, hc, and so forth Till I wish that I were far up in the north. Those quizzes he gives, are sometimes called hazy, But to me they are still a little bit crazy. So to you, my dear friend, this advice I will Say, When you get a stiff quiz, just think, do not pray.

Donald Crafts, star of Remember the Day should be a valuable asset to Central drama- tics next year. He looks like Clark Gable and acts better. Orchids to: M. H. S. Central's Maskers. We knew they would win at Pawtucket. All other directors, and the judges, unanimously agreed that The Flattering Word was the most finished play. THE SHOW-SHOP The greatest throng that ever jammed our auditorium pushed and shoved its way into every available and conceivable corner and had a thoroughly enjoyable two and one-half hours of amateur. Best bet for the movie producers is without a doubt, Emile Simard. We wonder if the Four Keys are as fond of History as they professed to be on said night? -What man-about-Central, whose middle name is Eastman, attended most of the Gon- doliers' rehearsals? Could it have been to see a certain chorine do a certain Fandango? ...... The following we gleaned, from our at- tendance of New Hampshire Drama Days. Many, we noted, eyed our gorgeous ushers with a wistful longing QU, the orchestra sur- passed itself, and the response was gratifying. Carrie Carleton was seen with a very hand- some P. G., and it wasn't me. Ruth Coburn, so many remarked, looked very shimmering in black. We can't help but recalling the ecstacy into which the house was catapulted when M. H. S. Central was announced the winner. Incidentally, many tears were shed by the ever loyal Maskers. Remember the Day, Miss Marion Sawyer's last public play as Central's dramatics di- rector, far surpassed, in our humble estima- tion, any of her previous plays. Behind the l w IUNE AGLAIA NUMBER scenes we noted the velvety smoothness with which each line was spoken, and all business was carried out. Deserving of Honorable Mention are Nellie Rassias, lean Potter, Bar- bara Head, Ruth Coburn, Donald Crafts, Howard Hill, Iohn DuBay, Paul Goulet, and Russell Woodbury. We wish Miss Sawyer the best of luck in her new venture. Central's loss, Leland Power's gain. Through a school-wide poll in which we guarantee to have contacted not fewer than a half-dozen of our prominent students, we find that Central Gentle- men prefer brownettes. Flash! At least one man in our school will go out of his way to give you his Mil- lion Dollar Smile. That is Mr. Frank Smith. He is the rock of foundation of a great deal of play and operetta scenery, and a deft artist at the job. What American Legion baseball star is writing to a girl in Middletown, Ohio? Is it true that Mr. Snelling's third period English had him fooled on April Fool's Day? Every book in the room was out of sight at the time, and Mr. Snelling really feared that everyone neglected to bring his book to class. Orchids to Irma I. Reese, we still think there was a double purpose in her recent trip. Even Benny Goodman has not settled the important question, What is a jam ses- sion? The many students who attend- ed, are still at a loss to explain intelli- gently. or THE ORACLE 87 INTERVIEW Gentlemen, take notice! Young Ladies re- quire smooth dancing, which means that toes should not be trodden on. Plain but rhythmic dancing is what the young lady en- joys. Fancy steps are not important and are sometimes embarrassing. The above we ob- tained by eavesdropping on a conversation, which thoroughly discussed the pros and cons of our notably GOOD DANCERS. Did the gallant sophomore who left a box of chocolates in a certain office for a certain Oracle editor ever call for his box before the heat turned the contents into chocolate syrup? Shed a tear, friends, this is the last issue in which yours truly will be an active con- tributor. Before leaving, however, we wish to say goodbye to a certain few. To Abbie Surrency and the fifteen cents she owes me. To Kaleope H., with many thanks for her co-operation. To the raft of silent qontributors who have added so much to this column. To all the members of my class and the school who have received our bits of gos- sip impartially.

PARISEAU' S The Style Center of New Hampshire I i Fashion otes for Her and Him FASHION NOTES FOR HER ........ Sea, sun, cool breezes-all suggestive of summer's nicest charms. Biggest fashion news of the summer is the ascendancy of washables for both daytime and evening wear. You'll look immaculately groomed day and night in crisp linens, pique, denim, muslin, pongee, or dotted swiss fabrics. QPlay safe-get Sanforized-Shrunk fabricsj Linen toppers, lined with printed muslin Hare jauntily over beautifully-cut muslin dresses. Cool, chic, sophisticated-the perfect en- semble. X Dark sheets with light color accents are more popular than lever. Nets and Marquis- ettes are going to town.', Silk shantungs and similar materials are taking the place of washable crepes this season. Bolero jackets with their square and crisp shoulders are right theref, Skirts are very full, so conse- quently should be worn quite short. The white coat whether of fleecy wool, linen or gabardine will take a decided up- swing in demand this summer. From the great Pan-American Exposition in Texas comes a grand new fashion impulse that will inspire you. The fashion experts have adapted to modern usage the color and silhouettes associated with the colorful Az- tecs, Incas, Mayans and Toltecs of Central America and Mexico. It is the colors and print patterns that tell the story. Exotic hues of jungle flowers, birds, and native costumes -print patterns that tell a conversation piece about life in the tropic. Paramex fash- ions in such colors as Aztec red, Mayan, green, Incan, gold, desert dawn, and Chili copper include sport and evening dresses, play clothes, swim suits, jewelry, blouses, hats, belts and bags. Go Pan-American and get there first! For years, despised as pink and blue and girlish-ribbons are rampant now in Paris- ribbon jackets, ribbon capes, and belts-even gloves with colored ribbon palms. Unaccustomed as you are to short skirts in the evening-realize there is nothing cooler for summer dancing. They don't catch your heels, they don't trip in the mud. Lisle shirts in harmonizing colors are ador- able with your slacks, shorts or culottes. Overalls in blue navy linen are ideal for roll- ing about decks, farrns, or the beach. Wear brightly-colored kerchiefs to match your sports dig-up as a neck piece or headgear. A bright green swim suit strewn with myriad shells, a lipstick red suit with braid- ed white straps to set off your tan, or a one- piece rubber suit of Bermuda coral will be ideal for the surf. Lest we forget-a jar of sun-tan cream or lotion will come in mighty handy on your vacation trip. Happy days ahead! And charming times you'l1 have, too, if you bear in mind this formula for summer chic-- Simplicity plus tact equals charm. FASHION NOTES FOR I-HM ..... .. Going places? Doing things? Lean back ........take it easy,.......your worries are over for two grand and glorious months of fun and excitement. The trend for this summer's masculine apparel is toward increased comfort and a more generous use of color. Palm Beach suits in white, gray or tan will be extremely popular, as usual. Neckwear will be notice- able in foulard with colors, as well as bold block prints. Bow ties, in foulard Crnade Compare our 'values with all othe SMART YOUNG MAN buy SMART CLOTHES at Chas. M. Floyd Co popular recently by the Duke of Windsor and Russ Brownj as well as striped reps, will continue to find favor. Shirts in madras Cthat new material directly from Indiaj, ox- ford, and chambray as well as broadcloth, will be featured in deep tones, but the dark colors that were popular a few seasons ago will be passe. The medium painted collar- attached shirt, the button-down collar-at- tached shirt Qintroduced by the Duke of Kentj and the widespread collar-attached shirt will be three outstanding models. Brown and white shoes are becoming more popular. White buck shoes with black rub- ber soles, brown and white Norwegian shoes, or all white buck monk front shoes are the latest for sports and semi-formal wear. Don't fail to see the new Coconut straw hat with the wide puggree band or the Tyrolean hat in green, brown, red or blue felt. For the beach youlll wear: colored slacks made of sailclothg beach shirts in knitted fab- rics, as well as linens with open fronts in neutral shades, short wood swimming trunks in green, yellow, thistle, navy blue, and rhum fthe newest shadej, with a knitted beach skull cap to match. The English blazer will be more popular than ever this season. Colored cotton ker- chiefs with correspondinly-colored canvas beach and tennis shoes will be right there this summer. The dinghy suits with sailor- eollared jumper and three-fourths sleeves are ideal for sailing, fishing, and beach wear. A few last minute tips and hints: Narrow belt of boxcloth with braided leather ends and cinch buckle, printed foulard handker- chief fpreferably silkj to be worn in breast pocket or around neckg coronation color and design suspenders, and coronation motif jewelry-tie clip, tie clasp and collar pin.
