The schoolhouse is a beautiful, small, old structure. On the ground floor is the large living room, the kitchen, and the schoolroom with twenty benches and tables, the teacher's desk, and a blackboard. On the upper floor are two bedrooms and the parlor. Uncle's writing desk and bookcase are in the parlor. Beyond this room is still another little room in 'which apples, pears, and nuts are stored inthe winter. Uncle never has to buy fruit, for he has a large fruit orchard, and the trees bear beautiful fruit each year. In front of the schoolhouse is the Hower garden that Uncle loves and cultivates the whole year through. ln summer, as early as seven o'clock, the village children come for their lessons, but Uncle has been up since five o'clock to work in his Hower garden be- fore breakfast. ln his garden Howers are continually bloom- ing from early spring until late fall. In Feb- ruary the little snowdrops come up through the snow and in March the yellow and white Easter lilies blossom. In October, when the cold north wind blows over the fields, dark red autumn flowers are still blooming. The garden is most beautiful in summer when all the beds of colored flowers are budding and the butterflies, bees, and little insects are buz- zing in the air. The windows of the old schoolroom are opened wide so that with the warm summer breeze, the sweet fragrance of ripening raspberries and the strong fragrance of roses and carnations may come in. I went to school in Berlin, but our class- rooms were very modern and always smelled of paint or linoleum. Whenever we opened the windows, we heard many loud noises from the street and smelled the gasoline from the automobiles. But my Uncle has a beautiful schoolhouse!

As I sit in the warm sand gazing out to sea, looking toward the horizon dottezl with sails, listening to the swelling and breaking of the waves, I am acutely con- scious of the passing crowd. One group is made up of girls, their faces painted so that they look unreal and almost ghastly in bathing suits which were never in- tended for water. The suits would be in as sad a state of repair as the faces, I am afraid, if either were to receive a ducking. Follow- ing as if in a parade, come jolly picnickers with their million and one children. Do the poor mothers ever have a good time? It seems to me that they are continually shout- ing to Mary or Iohnny not to go too far out, or to be careful of the undertow. Seated not far from me is a very pretty young girl. I overheard her asking her companion to swim nd out a mile and a half through very danger- ous waters to a buoy. The young fellow re- fused to go, whereupon she accused him of being afraid. From where I am sitting, I can see the raft upon which a group of young people are continually making fancy dives- just to gain a glance from a fair one. Further on upon a lonely stretch of beach, I see a young man and woman with a very old man. This aged man is holding his hands out toward the sea anl calling, Waterl Water! It seemed to put new life into him just to be near the water. Maybe he has al- ways lived on a desert, or has never before seen the ocean. But his enjoyment of the water is reflected into the faces of his friends. And so I go on wondering. Who can I seek out who truly enjoys the sea? Can there be anyone who loves the same wonders of nature as IP Are not these people enjoying themselves in their way quite as much as I? Sch ussl By George Kent Hey, Ioe, where in- is that wax? Sorry, fellas, I left it in the car. Why you-!! Oh, forget it-let's get goin' . As we go outside we see a winter wonder- land. The trees are thick with frost. The snow and ice glitter in the bright sunshine, and as we gaze down we can see the trail as it winds down the steep sides of Cannon Mountain. Now and then we may catch a glimpse of a skier as he schusses his way to the bottom. The silence is broken when one of the fellows shoves off, and as he disappears around the first curve, he is followed by an- other, until five of us are rushing madly down the mountain thrilling at every turn. Hey, Fred, get moving! Harris goes into a Christy and with the idea of taking him on the inside, Bill comes smashing down upon him. ,There is a tangle of flying skiis and poles, and as the,snow clears, all that can be seen is a most conspic- uous part of the boys' anatomies. After much wiggling they begin to look like hu- man beings. Suddenly through the clear air comes a call, Trackl The boys gaze spellbound as they see a skier bearing down on them. A crash seems inevitable! Then with a beauti- fully-executed Christy, the skier Hashes past and continues down the trail. Fred blinks and says, That guy was okay. He should be, is the reply, that's Sig Buchmayerf' 6 IANUARY AGLAIA OF 'rl-nz ORACLE Manchester in l-ler Teens By Harrier Anderson To some, Manchester 'in her teens may mean just a small manufacturing village on the east side of the Merrimack River, to others, a fishing resort. Although the Manchester of today is so built up, many places of interest remain. On the corner of Chestnut and Lowell streets was Manchester's first high school, now the Administration Building. It is a small red brick building resembling a little country schoolhouse. When it was first built it was surrounded by woods. lust one block from here on Amherst street, half way west from Chestnut, was a dingy little affair christened with the high- sounding name of Washington Hall. As late as 1841, this was the only place in the village for the accommodation of public gatherings. The territory south of Hanover street and east of Union was covered by a heavy pine forest as far as what used to be called Halls- ville, and through the woods to the south, a tract of cleared land, comprising about twenty acres or more, was familiarly known as the Ryefield. As late as 1850 or 1851, Daniel Webster delivered an address from a raised platform at a fair of the New Hampshire Agricultural Society, held in this immediate vicinity. He led a procession that marched up Elm street, and from his open barouche, with bared head, he bowed, like the god that he was, to the ladies on either side of the street, who waved their handkerchiefs. As you walk today in the Valley Cemetery, you would never dream that this place was a few years ago a shaded dell used by boys as a not too remote Arcadia, where they often went on a school holiday with wooden toma- hawks in imitation of the Indians. Uponferossing Hanover Common I always remember an old man telling me how he used to catch trout there. This is rather hard to believe, but I understand that an artificial pond existed there for fire purposes. There was also another artificial pond on Merri- mack Common, and a small reservoir on Concord Common. These small bodies of water must have afforded the school children of that day excellent facilities for skating. What is now the northeast residential sec- tion was then covered with rude granite boulders, scrub oaks, and pines, land hardly Ht for grazing, although used for such, and enclosed with a rough stone wall. Not far from here is the ground where the Governor Straw mansion stands. You know this mansion as the Parfitt apartments. They are located north of Harrison street and east of Elm. When Manchester was in her teens this mansion was considered away out in the country. This may sound rather amus- ing, but when Smyth's block was built at the corner of Elm and Water streets in 1853, it was thought by some of the wise heads of that day to be a crazy enterprise, because it was so far removed from the business center of the town. Too, no one ever, only at long intervals, got out as far as the shores of Lake Massabesic, for there were no means of transportation other than those afforded by nature. Derrylield Park, now known for its tennis courts, used to be known for the ancient pound and pest house. In those days the sur- rounding territory was considered a dense jungle. It is astonishing how rapidly a sand bank, which at first hardly any one wanted to own, has grown into a fiourishing city. l LITERARY 7 Poor Little Sparrow By Marjorie Grave: fTranslation of a Latin poem by Catullusj Mourn, O gods of love and beauty And all the handsome men there are! The sparrow of my love is dead, The sparrow, the pet of my love, Which she loved more than her own eyes, For it was sweet as honey, and knew her As well as she her mother knows, And moved not from her lap, But hopping round now here, now there, Continually to its mistress chirped. It now goes on a shady trip From which none ever can return. Your deed was bad, oh evil shades Of Orcus, that devours all lovely things, That took away her pretty bird. O wicked deedl Poor little birdl Because of you, my love from tears Has swollen eyes all red. The Time and the Place By Howard H ill The day was cool, the air was crisp, and the ice was fast. This well-lighted rink vsith its rubber-cushioned backboards was a thing of beauty to any sports-lover. Yes, the city had been very generous. A- padded, young man, good-looking in a sndering way, was giving an exhibition of puck-chasing. His team, in the background, was watching him, as was everyone in the crowd of onlookers. Another team burst out upon the ice. A wiryyoung fellow in a nondescript green sweater soon began to give his version of puck-magic. Nails was his name and nails -he was. The two teams had faced-off. They were tense, as was every spectator. A three-year rivalry was to be culminated today. Would Nails come out on top? Everyone hoped so. The Art of Bluffing By E Hia Mora: Bluffing ,as we all know, is not uncom- mon, but one must practise carefully for four long years in order to make bluffing a true art. Some of us seniors, having studied very hard, are now successful blulfers. There seem to be moreboy bluffers than- girl bluf- fers-or maybe it's just that .the girls are more skilful. I 1 r There are many methods of bluffing, but I shall give you only a few common ones. The Hrst method, that of changing the subject when the teacher calls on you is, no doubt, very familiar to you. P The second mehod is discovering that your glasses need- cleaning, or your shoe strings need tightening when you catch the teacher looking directly .at you. The next' is an old favorite. It's just plain I donlt understand the question, or I didn't hear you. Some students are even too lazy to talk. They frown at the teacher, as if to say, You expect me to answer that? Then there is the student who, when the teacher points out the page with the answer, can't find it until someone else has given it. This gives the bluffer time to think of other things. N And last, there is the student who attempg to answer the question. This kind of bluffing requires the most skill. One must have 'fan extraordinary vocabulary in order to baffle the teacher and he must be able to express the same thought in at least four different ways. This is what we call beating around the mulberry bushf' This is very, very diffi- cult. . A Perhaps these suggestions will carry future students to new heights of bluHing. Or perf haps the other way around would be better: EDITOR'S NOTE: How about the old method of putting your hand up after the teacher calls on somebody else? LITERARY 9 Candles By lean Puller A cylindrical body of tallow or wax, in- closing a wick of cotton, and used to furnish light -this is Noah Webster's definition of a candle. But doesn't a candle mean more to you than a means of furnishing light? Doesn't it bring pictures before your mind? When you think of a candle, you may think of a festive birthday party. Perhaps you picture an excited group gathered about a long table in a dimly lighted room, their faces glowing, their eyes sparkling, as they wait eagerly for the lighted cake. Isn't there always a hush as the cake is brought in? The burning lights have a deep significance. Eas' flickering flame seems to be a tiny ghost o' some past year, bringing back memories. Yet at the same time each flame bears a wish for happiness for the future. Or do you think of a poor fisherman's cot- tage when you see a candle? Maybe you see a small weather-beaten hut, built high up a rocky cliff, a white tallow candle lit in the topmost window. The flame burns steadily, shining far out to sea. Perhaps it is in mem ory of one lost at sea. But it is a symbol of faith of one who has lighted it night after night. Perhaps some day it will guide some lost ship to port. . When I see a candle I remember a group of campers singing as they stood arm in arm at the water's edge. It was banquet night, their last night together. The air was cool and moist. Taps echoed and re-echoed across the lake. Far out upon the water was a pageant of lights. Each girl had set her candle afloat. Each candle was a memory of happy days at camp, of some glorious trip. Each tiny flame fulfilled some fond dream. How many pictures a candle can call to mind! How many dreams come true as you watch it burn! To me a candle is a tiny torch lighting a path of memory into the past path of hope into the future. Cottage By Belly Laflamme The word cottage always brings to my mind's eye a small, low, whitewashed build- ing topped by a neatly thatched roof. It looks, as it stands there in the cool shade, like a little old lady, with her straw sunbonnet, resting on her way to market. And like a little strand of white hair protruding through the bonnet, the chimney smoke brings to mind the life inside. Bustling around in the neat kitchen is a buxom, jolly country wife humming a merry English folk song as she busies herself cooking for her ravenous shep- herd husband and sons. The savory odor of the dinner makes one's mouth Water. She stands for a moment in the refreshing shade of the aged oaks which stand guard over the little cottage. As she rests her arms akimbo, she shakes with hearty chuckles at the maids and youths who, in complete disregard of the world, are dancing and playing in the shade. As she stands there, figures appear on the horizon, figures she recognizes even at that distance. She retreats to the haven of the cot- tage which she has helped make into a home for those three distant figures. For who would call this picture complete unless I added that this little appealing structure is also a-home. '10 IANUARY AGLAIA OF THE ORACLE The New Ski Technique By lolm Mullin: Sometimes I wish the good old days were back again when skiing was a simple matter of hitching a pair of toe straps over your overshoes and gliding breathlessly down a 5- degree slope. To stop yourself, you sat down, jerked your two-dollar skis around, and stood up again. If you had poles at all they were sawed-off broomsticks. Nowadays skiing is a high-pressure, stream- lined science in which wind resistance, air pressure, and the number of degrees at which the slope slants are all taken into considera- tion. Equipment is expensive and bewilder- ing. The ski language is a peculiar mixture of Austrian profanity, Scandinavian slang, and American engineering terms. The talk is of vorlage, tempos, and gelandesprungs. The terms and jumps themselves are com- plicated, perilous gyrations. In fact, they are so fantastically complicated that I have de- cided to add a few of my own, which in my opinion are just as easy and sane as the or- dinary ski methods. I would suggest: The Rocket Reel: While proceeding down the slope, shove both poles in the snow on one side, lift your skis clear off the ground with a spring, cross them, whirl around the pole twice, come back to earth, and continue downhill. The Reverse Gimlet: While proceeding down the slope, advance one ski far enough so that you can slide the other behind it. thus crossing your legs. Now place one pole in the ground, turn around by throwinj' your weight, and go backwards. While going backwards, slide your poles in the groun spring, uncross your skis, turn around, and fall back to the ground, proceeding downh The Halsbrechen: Unfasten your harnesses, and sit down backwards on the skis. Push off with your poles, and, while going at top speel, stand up, turn around, fall back on skis facing in normal direction, walk down skis to up-ended part, return, turn around again, and sit down. The only thing that worries me is that if these turns are ever heard of, somebody will be sure to try them. I sat high on a hillg I watched the sun Sink quietly Into the west. I was alone. I sat high on a hill, I watched the moon Creep quietly Across the sky. I was alone. Friendship By lc-an Form' I saw him climb th So roughly clad, His figure bent, His eyes downcast. I knew him not. I saw his tired eyes Gaze at the moon. He loved it, too, And then I knew He was my friend. e hill LITERARY 11 The Small Boy By Z iven Baghdarariun He is a very inquisitive lad. How are your folks? Who will win the football game? Why do they throw passes? Where was the Fire last night? Are you working now? Why do you get all dirty when you play football? Did you catch many fish yesterday? His interest in others and things around him classifies him not as a boy who plays in the sandbox, but as one who is affected by the things with which he comes in contact. Sailing, I938's Most Popular Sport By Victor Luca: Universal Newsreel, Life, and countless other authorities claim sailing the most popu- lar sport of the 1938 season. Sailing offers the vacationist a wholly new recreation, a means of exploring the unlimited reefs and bays. Doctors of very good standing claim sailing to be one of the best remedies for nervous disorders. The owners of these boats are not members of the Four Hundred but ordinary citizens like you and me. Some people buy these boats direct from the factory, others buy them second-hand, but lim and I built our own craft. The most popular of small sailers are the Moth boats Qeleven and one-half- foot catboats with only one sail.j These boats cost in the whereabouts of two hundred dol- lars, but can be built for as little as thirty-Five dollars. The regular U. S. sailing season comes to a climax about Labor Day, but in these parts it ends later. Lake Massabesic has sailing races every Sunday until ice forms. Governor Francis Murphy donates the Govemofs Cup to the winner of a number of scheduled races over a six-mile triangular course. This year a thousand people watched one race held in August. Thousands Cincluding myself, have dis- covered new thrills lying on the decks with the spray washing their faces. Sometimes a squall-a sharp gust of wind-comes up from nowhere, it seems, and causes a knock- down. The skipper turns the boat right side up, bails the cockpit out, and it's off to the races. Who, What, and Why By Anthony Morse No one cares about him unless he's late. Heis always there-a strange white figure in the early morning mist. Striding firmly to your door he smashes down part of his heavy burden. Then his confidence seems to break. Emitting a shrill whistle, he runs from txt house, summoning his horse for the get- away. And that's all. We don't even know if he's bald or has a six-foot beard and is cross eyed. Something must be done about it. Not many people have seen him. Those who have are rather unreliable sources of in- formation, Qbeing slightly woozy at the time.j It doesn't do any good to get up early. True, your alarm does its best, but an alarm can be turned off. And it really wouldn't be very nice to set a bear-trap for him. But still, we would like to see him. Why, you might pass him in broad daylight and never know him. 'Tis a most astounding enigma. Is he a dark dreary bachelor or a happily married man leading a double life? Well, good luck to you on your search, but if you do find him, do a little favor for me. Ask him what you will, but please, while you're at it, Find out why he makes so much noise with those milk bottles every morning. 12 IANUARY AGLAIA OF THE ORACLE The Average Enigma By lolzn Mullen The smart boys say he just exists. He goes to school, but he doesnit do much study- ing. He's never Hunked anything. He sits in class all day, mumbles a few words when called on, writes ordinary papers, gets along. He never gets in much trouble. He just smiles politely when the rest of his class- mates are gleefully tearing things apart and getting into trouble. He's fairly friendly with most people, but isn't very intimate with anyone. He never has much to say. Not more than three people in the school even know where he lives. School activities like dramatics and publi- cations he passes over-if wistfully, no one but himself ever knows. Sometimes he makes a half-hearted remark about suckers in school activities. Athletics don't interest him. School ath- letics he ignores, and outside he doesn't do much. He plays a little baseball and football, steadily but without much enthusiasm. He spends most of his time just watching others. Maybe he takes long lonesome hikes and swims, by himself, or perhaps with the one or two people who are slightly closer to him than the rest of the world. Social activities, dances and parties, and dates are completely outside his existence. He smiles his quiet, reserved smile at the men- tion of girls and retires to his usual place on the outside of the group. When he does go so far as to do a bit of talking, he is far from inspired. He merely makes a few ordinary comments about auto- mobiles or fishing or whatever he happens to be interested in. For he always has some in- terest with which he occupies his spare time, those apparently endless hours when he for- gets the world. Maybe he'll turn out to be a harsh, bitter Old Man on the Corner. But I like to think of him as a budding of something or other, a man who some day will make a revolution- ary discovery about his automobiles or his radio sets or whatever his lonesome hobby may be-a man who will some day leap to prominence and enjoy in his dogged, fum- bling way the limelight. 'Twas The Night Before Christmas By Emmy Connor One Christmas in my life I think I shall never forget. Something very funny hap- pened, something which makes me smile every time I think of it. I was about six years old and was still sup- posed to believe in Santa Claus. The day before Christmas I happened to be going by the storeroom when I noticed that the door was open. Naturally, I put in my head. Much to my surprise, there was Pop, strug- gling with an old red suit. I knew something was up, but, as it was so near Christmas, I thought maybe I'd better keep quiet, I slipped away and didnit say a word to any- one. That night I was supposed to go to bed and be awakened at twelve to see Santa Claus. Everything went along all right and at twelve I was up with the rest of the fam- ily-all except Pop. As time wore on I no- ticed my mother and my older brothers and sisters getting restless, talking very fast and not saying much. But still I was quiet. Iust before twelve-thirty there was a loud thumping which seemed to come from the roof, then an outburst that sounded like Pop in a temper. There was a lot of excitement and the next thing I knew we were all out in the yard. I still wonder if Pop intended to come all the way down that chimney, but, anyway, there he was, in the chimney, almost up to his shoulders, yelling like mad. He l LITERARY in or out as his clothes were with straw. My brothers to the roof. Half an hour walking into the house, his once red suit now black with soot. But after all we had a very merry Christ- mas, Pop included, and that was the last time they tried to play Santa Claus on me. couldn't budge tightly stuffed climbed up on later Pop came - Bacchus By Ioan Nichol: One day One summer day I own 'tis true I wandered to a hillside green And lay beside a sparkling stream And fell asleep. I heard As clear as day A tinkling laugh, And I awoke to Hnd a group- A laughing, singing joyous troop Of maids and men. The pipes That one man held Wove eerie spells. I longed to dance, but I did note That they were fauns and faerie folk And was afraid. The fauns With pointed ears And goat-like legs Had Howers in their shaggy hair, And capered with the nymphs so fair Who scattered Howirs. They drank From silver cups And one Satyr Ate purple grapes with eager lust. I heard them call him 'Fair Bacchus, God of Winef' The nymphs Who saw me watch With open eyes 13 While they drank and sang and danced- A laughing group-towards me pranced And bade me join. A cup Of sparkling wine I drank, and then The drunken revelry was ong I jumped and leaped like any faun I was so gay. The scent Of purple grapes And fragrant flow'rs Incensed the Bacchanalian crowd, The hills repeated echoes-loud And, oh, so clear! I kissed The lovely maids With golden hair. Their silken robes Hew in the breeze Oh, how they sang and how they teased A mortal fool. I But night Was drawing nigh And quickly I Picked up their How'rs and silver tray. I cried out for them to stay But they said 'No.' Oh, come With us, my friend. Loudly Bacchus cried But I said no ..,..... I was afraid, I went and hid deep in the shade, Then they were gone. The sky Grew dim to show Its sorrow-then Was glad because my soul was free, Free from drunken revelry And Bacchus, too. No dream Was thus, ah, youths I know 'twas true, It happened on a summer's day That's in the past now-far away But it was true! 2293 W S? ,X Side ol: the Road By lirll-i' Iuflnmmc' Thi- trees were bent with their heavy load ol' lrcshlysfallen snow, each bough nodding its lit-ad as il' in tribute to the beauty Nature had cast in its midst. The Hrs looked like wild, young Amazons carelessly letting the lm-cxcs blow through their streaming tresses. .Xu occasional imprint, perhaps of a young tlccr. a buck. or a lox, broke the evenness ol' ilu- pure whim- mantle. To the left was a tlancing. crystal clear, babbling brook. sing- ing ll song of defiance to lack Frost. This picturesque setting was and always will be virtually a hunter's winter paradise. l LITERARY 15 The Antique Dealer By Gwen Resnfk Riding along the main highway one can- not help noticing the many antique shops. Having started a collection of glass, I stopped at one that I thought most attractive. The setting of this little shop was appealing to the eye. Surrounded by elms on each side, the sun playing beautifully through the large windows, iridescent rays gleamed on the many pieces of glass on the shelves. As I en- tered, I was at once fascinated by the odds and ends thrown carelessly around, and I wondered what history surrounded them. Though everything had charm, the mustiness gave me an old feeling. My reverie was shat- tered by a man's voice, .........,.. Good afternoon, Miss. Interested in glass or furniture? Upon hearing his voice, I wondered where he was. Lo and behold! From the most obscure place came a short, stout, jolly-looking fellow, who undoubtedly was part of the place. In his most charming manner he started his sales talk, laughingly saying, .,,.,....,.. I bet you know a bargain when you see it. When he laughed, I noticed that he shook all over, and his already red nose seemed to become redder, as if a light was within. He always greatly enjoyed his own jokes, and laughed more readily than his listener. He was of such a very friendly nature, and his offer of a bargain was so appealing, that I grasped at the opportunity of owning precious glass at a nominal price, only to find out that he had outsmarted me. But the lure of the place drew me back. Well, welll My pretty Miss, here you are again. This time I have a beautiful piece for you, one that you will be proud to own. After that remark I really felt that the trip had not been in vain. Upon inspecting the dish, I found the mark of the maker that I was especially interested in. How much for this piece?l' He quoted his price laughingly, and with- out a moment's thought I retorted, ........ All right-I will take it. Amazed at my quick decision, he hesitated and quibbled, ...,,.....,. Shall I wrap it up? Yes, I answered, a bargain is a bargain, as you always say. And home I went with my most treasured possession-thanks to the humor of the jolly antique dealer. - You, Too, Can Be ---- By Virginia Pritchard In this high school every senior girl is a budding glamour girl with great, fuzzy white angora sweaters. Never a dull color, for they stay clean too long-and after all! A girl must be able to say, Well, I've washed mine four times and it's still like new, even if it does resemble a shaved French poodle on a summer day. She is blonde f gentlemen prefer blondesj, but is most definitely not blue-eyed-the style now being large brown eyes. They go so well with blond hair! Anyone who reads the ads knows a Hawless complexion is necessary for happiness, success, and existence itself. She has her lessons always prepared, although I can't imagine where she finds time, what with all the plays, clubs, committees, and magazines for which she works. She must ski like a magazine cover girl, skate like a Heinie, swim like-shall we say, fish, dance like a Rogers, and play bridge like the pince- nez'd president of a woman's club. She is up to all the latest styles and in a pinch, can, with great ingenuity, invent her own. It seems she'll soon be so busy being ideal that she'll forget her own identity. Color Music Hy lmrn .'X'l1f1nl.f Have you ever seen a palette Such as artists sometimes use, And heard the strangest symphony ln reds and greens and blues? liaeh color is a ditlerent tune, Each tint and shade and hue, Are melodies from everywhere, That are wafted home to you. Oh, light sky blue is whispery, The sound of rushing winds, And violet is a chorus Of fairy violins. Red is a fiery trumpet blast, Heard in blaring bandsg While yellow is a soothing sound, Of shifting desert sands. Black is a solemn funeral march, You can hear the ehoir boys sing: VVhite, as pure as virgins' robes, ls the beat of an angel's wing. Purple is triumphant, Harmonious orations. It makes one think of royal things, Of kings and coronations. Steel-gray suggests some foreign shore Where beats a stormy seag lt crashes on the rock-strewn coast And roars in agony. Next time you see a paint box-f ll you listen as Well as see- You'll hear the music l've described, Only more exquisitely. l er- Sl LITERARY 17 This is the Polish Primeval By Fred LZIFVIIWICCY He hates my painted fingernails. I hate his being late. I apply the polish with Hendish glee, And chew it off ........ while I wait! That was one woman's reaction to the con- temporary male revolt against female-foolish- ness in the matter of nail polish. Although we believe in punctuality, and we deplore the method used by the above young man in winning on both counts, we cannot but ad- mire his ingenuity. Now they're having them blackened, and there are even faint rumors along the style fronts that glistening bits of tinsel will be added to the maddening, barbaric urge for female self-adornment. Our morning coffee will now be poured by dazzling, bejeweled fingertips, and by the time our coffee is ready, perhaps a new shade, Cafe au Lait will add its monochromatic scheme to the break- fast table. And if there is a slip twixt the cup and the lip, it will hardly be noticed. For the picnicker-a variegated holiday display of Mustard Moonlightf' Relish Ravissant, Luscious Lemon, Ch:-irmante Cherry, and Harrnonious Ham.

For the opera-goer-something a little more sedate perhaps.

QThat's where the female would like them anywayj For swimming- Weis muller Walnut , for skating- Henie ...,...,, .. let's call the whole thing off! If the female sex could, by some unfore- seen miracle, become practical enough to in- troduce an illuminated polish for moonlight bathing, some of our grievances might disap- pear in the new Light. But, it has come very forcibly to our attention that there is nothing practical in the daubing of fingernails and- yes, fellow sufferers-even toenailsl What is the reason? We have dug into the archives, we have roved through reams of research material, and have found that this yen for primitive painting is all done to at- tract, to lure, and finally to ensnare the help lessly hypnotized HE. If they only knew! Translation from Pecheur D'lslande by Pierre By Cf!'77l'l'il'l'C' Bilfos The first time that Gaud had noticed Yann was the day after his arrival at the religious feast called Pardon by the Icelanders, on the eighth day of December, the day dedicat- ed to Our Lady of Good-News, the patroness of the fishermen. A little after the procession, the dark streets were still adorned with white sheets to which had been fastened some ivy and holly, some greens, and winter flowers. It was very noisy in Paimpol with the sounds of bells and the chants of priests, the harsh and monotonous songs in the Wine shops, old tunes to lull sailors to sleep, the old ballads which came from the sea, which came from I donit know where,'from many centuries ago. There was a group of sailors walking arm in arm, a group of girls in their 18 IANUARY AGLAIA or THE ORACLE coiffes, nun-like, old houses of granite en- closed this swarm of people, old roofs related their struggles of several centuries against the west winds, against the sprays, the rains, against all the attacks of the sea. Of all this turmoil Gaud has a confused recollection. In the square where there were games and clowns, she walked with her friends who named for her, right and left, the young men of Paimpol or Ploubazlanec. In front of the men singing the ballads, a group of these Icelanders was stopping, with their backs turned. Struck by the sight of one of them who was as tall as a giant, she had said simply, even with a degree of mock- ery: There is a big fellow. It was he- Yann. Ernst Mensen By Sol Millman Ernst Mensen was probably the most mar- velous athlete in his line that the world has ever seen and possibly the best it ever will see. A Norwegian by birth, he served as a sailor on a British man-of-war, distinguishing himself in many naval battles. However, his real interest was long-distance running which he kept at all his life. This remarkable athlete strengthened his leg muscles in his childhood by running about the mountains of which his country largely consists. His legs weren't very large, to be exact, they were a trifle short in com- parison with the length of the trunk of his body. However, his chest was of unusual depth. As Mensen grew up, he developed a re- markable wind, so remarkable that it seemed as if the youth were tireless. And the boy ran for the pleasure of running-just as boys now play football. Meanwhile, he grew up and somehow joined the British Navy. Once, Mensen, be- ing short of cash, ran from London to Ports- mouth in nine hours. He found this method of travel cheap and enjoyable, and soon after ran from London to Liverpool, about four hundred miles by road-pausing for rest twice only and not lying down as any other human being would have done, but leaning against a tree with a handkerchief over his face. In all his journeys, this was his way of resting, he would eat very little-a few bis- cuits and a bit of raspberry jam being his favorite nourishment. Sporting men began to pay attention to him. He was matched with one after another of the local celebrities at distances of from five to twenty-five miles, but he defeated them all so easily and with so little effort that soon none could be found to oppose him, and his professional career languished. But in Paris, in 1831, he was brought to the notice ofa Russian nobleman, and a wager was made between this person and a few of his sporting friends to send him from Paris to Moscow, 1760 miles. The time al- lowed him was four weeks, and he was to be accompanied by two couriers on horseback to see that the conditions were observed-1760 miles in twenty-eight days would be at the rate of about sixty-three miles a day. Mensen completed the distance at the rate of one hundred twenty-five miles a day. The couriers reported that he had gone at a steady pace all the way, stopping once each day for fifteen minutes, leaning against a post or a tree trunk with a cloth over his face. The couriers had been obliged to take fresh mounts from three to four times daily, and they were themselves quite exhausted. But Mensen arrived apparently as unwearied as when he set out, to the utter astonishment not only of those who had wagered against him, but of his own backer, whose winnings were very large, and who presented Mensen with about fifty dollars for each day he was on the road. Mensen did this work to the last days of LITERARY 19 his life and thoroughly enjoyed doing it. And he died with his boots on, so to speak. I-Ie went on his last and greatest run into Africa, through Palestine, to Egypt and Alex- andria, The last that was heard of him was when he was seen going through Egypt. They later found out that he had died lean- ing against a tree with a handkerchief over his face. Bug Game By Alice Samara Sis, would you like to go hunting with me? questioned Dad who knew I had been waiting for an invitation of this kind since the hunting season began. Should I? Iust wait until I get ready-it won't take me long! I donned a pair of Dad's old trousers and bundling up warmly, for the weather was quite cold, I helped him get the guns-the new one for him and an old one, which he had long since discarded, for myself. Then oil we started on the trip which I have re- membered for a long time. Dad, who likes chatter and laughter, was quite disappointed with me, for I was so excited I could hardly talk. To tell the truth, I lost quite a bit of my enthusiasm when I sighted the dark woods in which we were to hunt our game. Well, anyway, gathering all my courage, I took Dad's hand and into the woods we trudged. We had walked for a long while when I heard the rustling of leaves right behind mel Later I was to learn that Dad had a good laugh at the picture I made. Here I was, a girl who had never been hunting before and had never held such a cruel weapon either before or since, with a chance for a good shot directly behind me! Well, what are you waiting for? Who, me?', And I turned right around and fired! At what? I didn't know, but I do know that the horrid-looking creature dropped with a thud. Thinking the animal too heavy for me I let Dad carry the remains. Reaching home, and having regained my good spirits, I raced into the house, shouting, Oh, mummy, you should see the darling little bunny I shot! Country Fair By Virginia Hfrldemon The enormous grounds were really a small town by themselves, overcrowded with happy boisterous town-folk and curious outside spectators. The brisk fall air was simply luscious with the hearty aroma of home- cooked foods and the spicy fragrance of late summer Howers and fall foliage. The animal tent, huge and billowing, soon attracted our attention and we spent a jolly hour watching the boastful farmers proudly displaying their prize stock. One young colt broke loose and the commotion was simply deafening until the animal was recaptured and returned to the frantic owner. The jewelry tent was my Waterloo! Dia- monds, rubies, emeralds, and pearls were as plentiful as stones. In my youthful opinion, the wealthiest Rajah in all India could not have owned so many sparkling gems. For the mere sum of fifty cents you could pur- chase a ruby as big as a marble, and a dollar would make you the possessor of a real imita- tion diamond. My heart went out to an en- graved gold brooch and a badly damaged Gypsy bracelet. My carefully-saved money was soon squandered and I marched away from the tent as fully decorated as any soldier. The hours were all too short, however, and soon it was time to leave for home. As we drove over the bumpy road, I closed my eyes and dreamily imagined myself back at the fair, laughing at the animals, wondering at the vivid displays, and enjoying the foods and candies. ,L V: F 1 L 2 4 4 . . . ,. ,,..,' .M , N ' A w 1 1- :.4., v ' x A , K X r .

CRITIC'S VIEWS ION CURRENT BOOKS Bewildered Refugees Mr. Bob CCowboyj Elliot says, It is evi- dent that the author, George Mardin, has been reading the funny papers too much. Bringing Flash Gordon and Moon Mullins into a serious novel on Sudeten Czecho- slovakia seems somehow a mistake. My ad- vice is that the author take himself to the nearest bridge and drop in ..,...., and take the book with himll' George Coronis' review on Snow Wllitc and the Seven Dwarfs has been widely ac- claimed in this section.

With incredible accuracy he cle- scribes every detail in the lives of these strange monsters, which are nowadays sel- dom found in our great American cities. Kent, who is known to this day by the na- tives of Borneo as Bwana-Mucha-Marihuana fLiteral Translationr Big-Chief-With-Spring in-Footj, has gone for his inspiration back to the early days when every town park boasted of at least two dinosaurs. The high point of the narrative is the pathetic tale of a young blond dinosaur Kent met at a Parchesi Tournament in South Dakota. The Rover Boys and How They Grew, by Helen Saad: Sterling athletic qualities dom- inate this swift-moving story of life at the South Pole.

What's this? Some of our old classmates are running for office. For president on the Republican ticket we find Arthur Ingram's name with Iohn Zaw- ojski running as vice-president. Ingram promises that if he wins, he will have an all- girl cabinet consisting of Sophie Michals, Bertha Mackey, Irene Aliapoulos, Annie Demetry, Germaine Bisson, Bernice Carr, Kay Batzis, Edna Rybka, Alice Samara, and Virginia Corrigan. Who knows what this might lead to? Perhaps every lady will now have a different car for each of her outfits! On the Democratic ticket we find Roger Hebert running for president and Iohn Roza- mus for vice-president. Hebert promises that each member of his party will receive a new- ly furnished house, a car, and fifty dollars every Friday. Now we have a great surprise! Edith Simon is running as the Fascist candidate, with Hel- en Saad for vice-president. Miss Simon is a strong believer in equal distribution. She has done most of her campaigning in the slums and has promised the slum-dwellers that she will take away all of the million- aires' millions. QWe wonder what she'll do with the millions?j That's all the candidates we have, but here are some voters. Here comes Fred LaFrance, that successful Broadway producer, to the polls. He'll not vote for Miss Simon. No sireel He won't have his hard-earned millions taken away from him! Next is Virginia O'Malley Doucet with little Chester and Prudence. She takes her children everywhere! There's Mrs. Betty Laflamme Andrejunas Morse Kent, the Reno socialite. She's been voting for over ten years now and she still pretends she's twenty-one. We see Ioseph Rozamus and his little wife fthe former Anna Petxyczkowczj waiting for their turn. Weire still wondering how he ever got enough nerve to ask her to marry him. Waiting for her turn is Sara Resnick, famous radio comedienne. She is with Agnes Scaduto, Goffstown blue blood. Miss Scaduto is wearing a tailored suit which was destined especially for her by Mlle. Barb Kirk. Com- ing out of the polls is Red Iohnson. He has been promoted since last we saw him. He is now janitor on the first floor of Leavitt's. Waiting for him is his friend, Bob Andre- junas, who is on police duty at the polls. Here come Sophie Tekos and Louise Spelas. Miss Tekos has succeeded Bette Davis in the -Lg1'a.7F,'.'!k!'9l '7 U 42 IANUARY AGLAIA OF THE ORACLE movies and is now being cast as Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind, being pro- duced, at last, by the Ainsworth-Baldoumas- Pavlideis Company. Miss Spelas is a torch- singer at the Trocadero. In order to vote, Virginia Pritchard has postponed her trip to Siberia to meet her husband fthe Ambassa- dor to Plotzkj There's maestro Bernard Ek- man. He's now known as the Baron of Barrelhousen and is playing at the new Sun- cook Hotel. Here comes a shiny limousine driven by Roger Neveu. In it is Miss Mary Maher and her pet poodle, Ming Toy. Her uncle, you know, did quite a bit of speculat- ing in the stock market, hence the millions. Mary is being courted these days by Iudge Harold Smith. Standing over there near the door is Eddie Albrewczenski, football coach of the Hawks at St. Anselm's College. Soon Eddie, Ir., will be playing football for Central High. There's Don Iohnson-the one with the bat in his hand. He's succeeded Mr. Tafe as the coach of the Manchester Post Baseball Team. So far, the team has lost every game. Here's Helen Wojeski. We didn't know she was back from Reno! Virginia Heddemon is coming out of the booth. She recently gave up her fine secretarial position with the Mullen-Damalas Law Firm to become the bride of the Rajah of Arabia. And there's Mildred Lewandowska. MildredIs golden locks have been turning gray lately-we wonder why. Over there, near Mildred, is Dot Murray. She is now running a boarding house, among its occupants are Charlotte Letson, a struggling young artist, Wanda Modliszewska and Iames Bakalis, a dancing team: and Harriet Neveu who is living there until Ernie can End a job. Leaving the polls are Mr. and Mrs. Paul Kenyon. Kenyon is one of the janitors at the new Rogers, Roh- zen, and Roy Mills. A fellow janitor is Iohn Brodkowicz. There's Dorothy Chapman. She was a tooth-paste advertising model for the Tonery Toothpaste Company in her younger days, but she has settled down at last with Bruno. With Dot are Ann Daskal and Beatrice Slovak. They are run- ning a home for stray chickens and have over three hundred now. Leaving the scene are Mr. and Mrs. Iohn Suosso and their sextu- plets and Aspasia Damalas, the nurse. We next see Bernard Langlois who is now a very famous doctor. Well, it's six o'clock and the polls are closing. For further details about the elec- tion read your local newspaper.

Arthur Ingram may turn out to be a sec- ond Daniel Webster. Ben Langlois would make a good Cong- ressman-he can always see what is go- ing on over our heads. In case of war, it would certainly take a good marksman to hit Milton Discre- tion-is-my-better-partv Cram. It would take a still better one to miss George Proulx. Norman Beauchesne might drive Mr. Rubinolf out of the public eye. Howard Hill would take great pleasure in putting on the gloves with Tom O'Donnell. With Paul Marineau in charge, the pres- ent period of depression would become a period of prosperity in no time. IANUARY AGLAIA OF THE ORACLE Richard Dunbar would make a line Florist.

The stimulating-if not intoxicating-effect of the hectic whirl of those Last Few Months develops enlightened individuals with the easy self-confidence of the man of the world, the eager spontaneity of the life of the party. Everyone is a wit: everyone is a friend of humanity. The most riotous and untamed freshman cannot approach the antics of the average well-meaning but gently insane Sen- ior with two months to go. The claim that Seniors are know-it-all is a mistake. Brains freal or estimatedj make lit- tle difference one way or :mother in the al- most-throughw emotional merry-go-round. lt really is intoxication. A person may consider everyone his pal and the world his own, but he seldom goes master-mind-heis too delir- iously happy. The usual symptoms are a rosy feeling of well-being and satisfaction, a sudden realiza- tion that teachers are good guys, a renewed interest in the school, a reluctance to tear away from classes, activities, and comrades, and a general sense of power. Now this combination - cooperation, friendliness, wide-spread interest, comrade- ship, and eagerness to tackle anything-is iust what is sadly lacking in the world today. How many problems are made more acute if not directly caused, by bitterness, indifference, hatred, selfishness, and lethargy? LUCILLE LAMO NTACTN E Let's keep on being Seniors. Let's show the same spirit in our future jobs and relation- ships that we show now in these, perhaps the most madcap days of our existence. I. M. TO TALK OR TO STUDY? Are you one of our misinformed fellow- students who thinks that the library is a so- cial center? Do you go to the library to gos- sip with your next-door neighbor about whom lack is taking to the prom or to tell the latest joke you have heard in class? Un- fortunately, some of us are under this im- pression. If we are lucky enough not to be overburdened with studying, the least we can do is to have some regard for the poor stu- dents sitting near us who may he struggling with a passage from Virgil or tackling a problem in solid geometry. We forget that the library does not dis- charge books automatically, hut requires much hard work which cannot be done satis- factorily without the cooperation of all the students. Perhaps if we were obliged to use the city library for reference work we would begin to realize how fortunate we are to have such a well-equipped school library and such a competent librarian. Are we going to show the staff in the library that we appreciate the work they are doing for us and for Central, or are we going to let the library become just one more privilege that we take for granted? I. P. 50 EDITORIAL FOR IANUARY AND FEBRUARY ONLY Since so many have now taken up that great sport of skiing, it is absolutely essential for the beginner to be well versed in the dos and don'ts of the sport to insure his own safety and the safety of others. As in all sports, unavoidable accidents oc- cur which must be taken as a matter of course, but the many doctor's bills, broken bones, and ruined ski equipment causej by the selhshness and carelessness of inexpe- rienced skiers should be stopped. The only way to accomplish this is to inform the nov- ice of the rights and wrongs of skiing. In becoming a safe skier the beginner must first obtain the four essential things: skis, poles, harnesses, and boots. Skis made from hickory, ash, or maple are considered to bs the strongest and most flexible. They may be obtained quite inexpensively. In purchasing poles the beginner will find that since strength and lightness are essential factors, bamboo or aluminum poles will serve his purpose quite well. As for harnesses, those that allow no slack will be preferable. Lastly but most important, good sound boots that contain a steel shank to prevent their buckling are necessary. If taken care of, this equipment will last for many years. The next step is to acquire the technique of controlled skiing. At First this may seem difhcult, but when mastered it will prove to be not only valuable but enjoyable as well. Through this technique great speed may be obtained with complete safety, but only through this system will the toll of ski acci- dents be reduced. To learn this technique, the beginner must spend a great deal of time practising on the gentle slopes. By asking advice from experts he may become quite an accomplished skier. When this point is reached the novice may take the more difficult trails provided he has the confidence to ski without being in danger of injury of himself or being a hindrance to others. If trail skiing is taken up, the skier must use his common sense and pay some atten- tion to the few simple rules of skiing. When the call track', is given, the path must be cleared. For climbing, the extreme sides of the trail are to be used, not the center. If a body of skiers comes bearing down the trail together, and you don't know which way to go, stand still and let them dodge you. If possible join ski clubs and also have some knowledge of Hrst-aid which some day may prove very valuable. Also avoid taking turns in the trail wide open. If the conditions are poor for skiing, slow down. Above all, don't attempt to do things beyond your ability. If attention is paid to these important rules, skiing will not only become as safe as any other sport, but will also become the most thrilling in the world. R. B. SHALL WE DANCE? A few years ago the athletic instructors un- dertook the task of teaching the junior and senior classes of our school the art of danc- ing. They held rehearsals in the school gym- nasium weekly which all interested students could attend. These classes were held in hopes of en- abling more students to attend class affairs, because those who cannot dance shy away from these. However, this practice, aban- doned in the last two years, is now almost forgotten. Have the classes been discon- tinued because people believe that in this age of jazz anybody can hop around in dance imitation, or is it because the students have lost interest? Many of us, however, would like these classes re-established. Perhaps the instructors do not have the time, but if they knew that we wanted them very much, they might Find some way. We have not become such experts in dancing that we do not have to be taught. There are many of us who would be only too glad to take these lessons, and the only thing We desire is to be shown the fundamentals of dancing so that we may T EDITORIAL 51 be able to attend our class alfairs with confi- dence, knowing that We can enjoy them. Since there are so many other activities go- ing on after school, why couldn't the Fifth and sixth periods, which have the largest number of upper-classmen at recess, be set aside for this purpose? So let there be rhythm and the whole school will turn out en masse to go into the dance. A. M. THE FUNNIES Why is it that soberly staid business men become so absorbed in the antics of the Katz injammer Kids, and that nine out of ten peo- ple reading newspapers in trolley cars are not worrying about the Hitler situation, but are chuckling delightedly over L'il Abner or one of his fellow comics? What part of the paper do you always turn to first, unless Robert Taylor is in town? The funnies, of course. Even when we say we have so much study- ing that we just haven't a minute to read the newspapers, we iwouldnlt think of opening a book until we have found out how Dick Tracy managed his latest encounter with the Chinese smugglers. A sense of humor is the saving grace, and brightens many a serious situation. With the exception of a certain scornful minority, most people End the funnies almost indis- pensable. How everyone missed the beans when Chick Iackson died! Tilda's expres- sion, Soup,s on! has become so much a part of daily life that the Gumps could not , . -a -7' , Y cease to exist at the death of their creator, Sidney Smith. Instead, Andy, chinless as ever, has continued to shout, Oh, Min! just as vociferously under the capable direc- tion of Gus Edson. Stephen Leacock says that few people laugh over the funnies, but read of the ridic- ulous predicaments of the characters because they themselves receive from this a certain sense of superiority which stimulates their ego. We beg to differ from Mr. Leacock in that we have seen many a person enjoy a grand laugh at Donald Duck or some of the characters in Winnie Winkle, but there may be a great deal of truth in the latter part of Mr. Leacock's statement. The Hne philos- ophy of Orphan Annie, however, might well make some of us feel inferior. Nevertheless, there is a certain sensational and adventurous type of comic strip that many children love, but which is a waste of time for them to read unless it serves to em- phasize the Crime does not pay theme. If they like this sort of story these youngsters might be tactfully diverted toward reading something like Robinson Crustx: or Treasure Island-classics which would be of real ben- efit to them. Most funnies, however, furnish a great deal of entertaining, harmless humor, and de- serve the widespread attention they receive from young and old of all classes. As proof of this, think how Popeye has stimulated the spinach business! M. B. Silence By Lena Elias.

New Hampshire, is an excellent example of what a small school can produce. The book is well illustrated and very complete, having a sep- arate department for each class. We want to congratulate those who contributed to the literary section, especially the writers of the clever short stories. Lovers of folklore will greedily devour Pecos Bill in which Dr. Iames Cloyd Bow- man, a specialist in the Held of native Amer- ican folklore, brings to life another legendary hero of America. His marvelous deeds of daring make Pecos Bill, the hero of Dr. Bow- manis novel, a demi-god of the entire cattle country. W. K. Clem Hooker, a simple philosophic soul, had no money, strength, health, or even in any appreciable quantity the admiration of his fellows. The only animate comrade Clem had on the face of the earth was Lightfoot Laura, a Burmese elephant. In her book, Elephant, Ruth Manning-Sanders shows the wisdom, dignity, and affection of the el- ephant. W. K. Iohn Vestal in Revolt on the Border pre sents a western novel well above the standard of the most western fiction. lt is the story of the Santa Fe Trail in 1846, the year of the American conquest in New Mexico. Against an historical background, true in every essen- tial detail, move the striking Hgures of ragged but heroic volunteers, gallant West Pointers, blood-thirsty Indians, traders, and Mexicans. Skillfully combined with histo- rical facts is the romance of Iohn Martok, a trader, and Molly Revell, a Kentucky belle. W. K. will barbara q1oJwrn In his novel, Big Show, Charles Cooke tells the story of Bob Boulton, who trained his collie, Skipper, to do tricks in his spare time. Then the circus came to town. Its dog act was weak. Bob and Skipper proved their mettle, to the delight of the crowd. - Romance appears in the big tent, too. The circus people become real in their joys and sorrows. The very smell of the sawdust, thc Hash of the tinsel, and the sound of the music is in this grand book. Best of all is the excel- lent portrayal of Skipper, the dog. E. F. Halliburton's admirers will enjoy the ad- ventures of Richard Hallet in the Rolling World, these adventures being much more off the beaten track than those in The Glo- rious Adventure. The lover of sea stories will thrill to the difiiculties Hallet had run- ning down the eastingw on the way to Aus- tralia, of stoking boilers to work his passage to England, and then of serving in America as Iunior OHicer on a cattle transport in the Great War. For the lover of hobo life there are the Australian experiences On the Wall- aby , and numerous experiences in our own and the Canadian West. Richard Hallet seems as likeable as Richard Halliburton. E. F. Cyril Harris, the author of Trumpets at Dawn, is a descendant of a Loyalist family that left New York at the close of the Revolu- 54 IANUARY AGLAIA OF THE ORACLE tion for Nova Scotia. It has been his ambi- tion to write of his forebears as they might have been. Trumpets at Dawn is the story of Sam Wyatt, a patriot whose parents and brother were Tory, but whose sister, like himself, was a Patriot. He is present at the battle of Long Island and the struggle at Harlem Heights, at the surprise attack on Trenton, at Kingston, and finally at York- town. Sam's own love story portrays the breakdown of class distinctions prevalent un- der British rule. The squalid life of a British prisoner, the work of spies, the sight of a bat- tle, are as realistic as the latest March of Time. 'U E. F. The Brief Hour of Francois Villon by Iohn Erskine is a novel based on the hectic career of Villon. Mr. Erskine creates an interesting and likable character of a person who, accord- ing to legend, was at least a versatile blade. The storytfollows Monsieur Villon from the mystery surrounding his birth, through his various escapades and mad love affairs, he presumes that the post-swordsman spent his last years as a respectable notary in a little town in southern France. E. F. She Was Carrie Eaton by Elizabeth Frances Corbett is the story of the romance and mar- riage of Miss Corbett's beloved Mrs. Meigs Carrie Eaton lived in the days of Howered dimity wrappers, and chignons. The action- the balls, parties, picnics, and evening gather- ings in the Eatons' parlor-might be found in any Victorian novel. In spite of its trite- ness, the book has a great deal of that warmth and vitality that make good reading. E. F. Hervy Allen chooses a very different period from that of Anthony Adverse for his new book Action At Aquila, the life story of a rebel Colonel, an able and enthusiastic soldier who hates the Civil War. There are one or two particularly outstanding passages, one is the description of a small mountain town in the hands of an unresponsible band of guer- rillas, the other is the account of the battle at Aquila. E. F. Neil Harmon Swanson succeeds in recre- ating the excitement and beauty of the North- ern wilderness and in dramatizing the ro- mance of the fur trade in The Forbidden Ground. Some of Bard McGregor'sq deeds seem to be frankly incredible, but Mr. Swan- son is after all writing of incredible times. Bard McGregor had a way with the ladies- two of them figure in this story. E. F. Yukon Voyage by Walter R. Curtin tells of the time when gold was discovered on Bon- anza Creek on August 17, 1896, and the greatest gold rush in history began. Almost over night the Klondike became the end of the rainbow for adventurers from every land. Pat Galvin typified the grandscale promoter of his day. Fresh from -the gold fields, his pockets bulging with nuggets, he founded a British-American trading company, with the intention of establishing stores, banks, and hotels for miners throughout the north. He purchased a steamer late in 1898, and his first cargo started up the Yukon for Dawson. One misfortune followed another, the party was frozen in and forced to winter 1500 miles from its destination. The author draws on a record he kept for the experiences described in the book. G. K. Through the medium of his books Iohn Muir has been able to convey the beautiful scenery of our western wonderland to the general public. Iohn of the Mountains is made up of hitherto unpublished journals edited by an outstanding author. These jour- nals cover the period between 1868 and 1911, when Muir conceived and proved the then revolutionary theory that glaciers have been the greatest factor in reshaping the contours l Book TALK 55 of the West, the period when he was fighting for the preservation of forests and the form- ing of National Parks in his beloved moun- tains. The book is well worth reading for its vivid descriptions and its worth while in- formation. G. K. Life in an Air Castle by Frank M. Chap- man may be considered a sequel to his My Tropical Air Castle. The book gives a charm- ing picture of the experiences of a veteran naturalist at Barro Colorado Island Labora- tory in Panama. The reader is led to share the emotions of the author in his tropical paradise. The fine series of photographs of the birds and mammals, many of them taken at night by Hashlight, add realism to the Vivid word pictures. Dr. Chapman describes the many Held experiments that he made to further his knowledge of the behavior of birds and mammals. The reader is inspired as he sees men like Chapman pioneering on the frontiers of science. G. K. Every person who lives in the country should read R. F. D. by Charles Allen Smart, a detailed account of the rural districts of to- day. Mr. Smart shows the splendor and mag- nificence of the sections of the country which have not yet been touched by the Machine Age. H. L. The possibility of traveling around the world may have appealed to you, but have you ever thought of doing so on a motor- cycle? Robert Fulton decided on the spur of the moment to do just that and was obliged to go through with it. Simple and convincing, One Man Caravan shows clearly the difficulty of attempting to enter various countries without being a poly- glot. Fulton's problems and escapades are described in a way that makes the story amusing as well as educational. H. L. Listen Little Girl by Munro Leaf contains advice for those young ladies who seek careers in New York. In a delightful way, Mr. Leaf Q the author of Ferdinand the Bullj, discusses the three types of young ladies who do have an opportunity for success in New York. Helpful hints are given to prospective models, stenographers, and advertising em- ployees. According to Mr. Leaf, there is op- portunity for the young lady who edits the school book and writes the best themes in her English class. H. L. For many years English writers have left Americans smarting under their sarcasm, but seemingly helpless to reciprocate. Now at last With Malice Toward Some has paid the Britons back with full measure. The author, Margaret Halsey, wife of an American pro- fessor in an English college, spent a year in England-a year all good Englishmen must regret! Every one of the two hundred and seventy eight short pages sparkles with wit- an hilarious hour for any reader. E. D. Powdered hair and gracious living, along with the cold and hunger of the American Revolution furnish the background for this story of a general,s lady. Hers was not a very good life but it was a fascinating oneg it was not a very happy life, but it was an exciting oneg it was not a very safe life but in the end it was a noble one. Also in the background are the general himself, the pret- ty little country girl Dilly, and the handsome traitor, Alan Brann. But above all these is the general's lady, calm, serene, and beauti- ful. Like all of Esther Forbes' historical sto- ries, The Genera1's Lady is realistic and en- tertaining. E. D. Nowadays the old country doctors are a vanishing tribe. One of the last of the Mo- hicans is Dr. Arthur E. Hertzler, for Fifty years the unomcial advisor of everyone in a 56 IANUARY AGLAIA or THE ORACLE little Western town. Dr. Hertzler came from a poor Mennonite family and underwent many hardships and sacrifices to obtain the education he needed for the fulfillment of his life's ambition. His book, The Horse and Buggy Doctor, is a trifle technical, using in some places long medical phrases, but all in all, it is the fascinating story of a life given to humanity. E. D.

N !1'wa,,Zvi f N . lr, , 4, The coming opcretta, The Yeomen of the Guard, will be presented in the Practical Arts Auditorium the first and third of February. The members of the chorus classes have been studying the music of this colorful Gil- bert and Sullivan Operetta for almost six months, and the members of the cast have already learned the music as well as the words to the numerous songs. The orchestra has begun a thorough practice on the differ- ent numbers and to date they are far ahead of their schedule. Miss Nettleton has charge of the acting, Miss Donnelly, the costumesg and Miss Law- rence, the pantomime of the chorus. The .Xrt Department, under the supervision of Mr. Ryder, is painting a new backdrop for the production as no suitable prison scene was available. The complete list of prin- cipals is as follows: Sir Richard Cholmondeley Anthony Morse Colonel Fairfax Sergeant Meryll Leonard Meryll lack Point Wilfred Shadbolt Ist Yeoman 2nd Yeoman Elsie Maynard Phcebe Meryll Dame Carruthers Kate Wesley Woodbury Thomas Hayden Leslie Williams Fred LaFrance Paul Firestone Robert Isenburg Foster Shepard Nellie Grzybek lean O'Donoghue Emmy Connor Virginia Young The members of the Art Club designed, printed, and sold Christmas cards, the profit from which was used to buy equipment for the silk screen outht necessary in fine art- Work. Preparations have been made for the pub- lication of a school calendar. This calendar will have twelve pages, a page for each month, with three colored prints and a dif- ferent design on each page. The silk screen outfit will be used for this calendar. The Pilots- At the November meeting of the Pilots, the members, who are selected from Miss Sargeant's civic classes, chose the following ofhcers of the club: president, Rene Smith, vice-president, Anne McEvoyg secretary, Dor- othy Ballg and treasurer, Iulia Batalis. A Christmas party was substituted for the December meeting. The meetings are held on the third Tuesday of every month and many social functions have been planned for the near future. Aquila Romana- The first issue of the year of the Aquila Romana, the Latin paper published by Central Latin classes under the supervision of Miss Bartlett and Miss Carpenter, proved to be a great success. The highlight of this issue was the guest editorial written by Mr. Gibbons, superin- tendent of schools, dealing with the value of Latin. The paper was even more interesting than usual. 58 IANUARY AGLAIA or THE ORACLE The second issue will appear on the Ides of March fMarch 15thj as is the custom every year. ' Senior Hi-Y- The Senior Hi-Y, an efficient asset to the school, has been very successful this fall. Out-of-town conferences have been held, and the group has been entertained by out-of- town Hi-Y clubs. The Central Senior Hi-Y has also served as host to the Central District Hi-Y rally attended by over 100 youths. The organization was responsible for the students marching to the Keene game en masse, entertained underprivileged children at their annual Christmas party, and are go- ing to distribute to the incoming Freshmen a booklet containing school rules, the way to join school organizations, and interesting facts about the history of the school. As Vocational Guidance was the subject of many of the meetings, the members of the club received not only valuable information, but were amply entertained as well. The popular Central organization deserves great praise for its work for the school, and the work of Mr. Thomas should be ac- knowledged. Hi-Lights- The High-Lights, the weekly Central news sheet, has attained among the students a greater popularity. Because of the enlarged staff, every activity in the school has been covered in a very interesting and pleasing manner. Besides the enlarged staff, the increased popularity is attributed to the better and more complete news sections, sports, activi- ties, cartoons, and personals. Home Economics Club- Several underprivileged families enjoyed a cheery Christmas this year, thanks to the Home Economics Club. Continuing their annual custom, the girls more than filled the stockings of these families with clothing, toys, and foodstuffs. The following girls worked diligently to prepare the gifts: Ruth Koyiades, Irene Aliapoulos, Cecile Bernier, Evelyn Welts, Evelyn Brown, Sylvia Penzieri, Merle Wheeler, Virginia Freeman, Edith Duval, Florence Sakellarios, Sophie Koutsos, Dorothy Howe, Doris Thompson, Iennie Chawluk, Sally Kott, Barbara Timmins, Hel- en Karalis, and Charlotte Soule. Maskers- l On Wednesday, December 21, the Mask- ers presented for their annual Christmas play Merry Christmas, an original skit which was written by Christine Platek and Paul Fire- stone, both members of the organization. The cast for the play was as follows: FATHER Fred LaFrance MOTHER Peggy Bissett BARBARA Elouise Hoitt VIRGINIA Ianice Moore GRANDMOTHER Edith Fisher BOB Alvin Iacobson RUSSELL Robert Isenburg MAID Marcia Robinson Those who appeared in the pageant were: FATHER Knox Worrell MOTHER Anne Fuller DAUGHTER Christine Platek BOY Ioseph Timmins The Manchester Institute of Arts and Sciences has invited the Maskers to present a play there in the near future but as yet no date is set. The Maskers are considering an original play written by a member of the club. The New Hampshire One-Act Contest Plays will be held either in Concord or Nashua this year and the Maskers are look- ing forward to competing in the New Eng- land finals to be held at Pawtucket, Rhode Island, in the spring. Glee Club The following members of the Girls' Glee Club presented a delightful program Thurs- l day, December 15, at 8:00 o'clock at the annual Christmas Party of the Business and Professional Wornen's Club. Those in the club are: lst Sopranos Emmy Connor Elizabeth Brown ' Beverly Keefe ' Virginia Young ' Cecelia Iedrysik ' Vera Bowman 1 Alzema LaMontagne Amelia Krolikowska Marion Glennon I Emelia Kowalewslci Barbara Philbricki 2nd Sopranos Edna Kolodziej Stella Iedrjsik Dorothy Brooks Helen Krzystyniak Nellie Gorcyca Altos Ruth Bennett Iessie Vyrros Athena Maltezos Iulia Olesniewicz Athena Kandilis Beverly Libby The program consisted of the selections Green Cathedral,i Around the Gypsy Fire, The Mystic Night, and Upon the Frosty Meadows by the complete group, and solo by Virginia Young. The following ,Tuesday the program was repeated at the Flranklin Street School. Radio Club- The Radio Club, newest of Central High clubs, was organized in November. The purpose of the club is to familiarize the mem- bers with various phases of radio, such as short wave reception and transmission, to further the interest in radio, and to qualify members as licensed operators. Mr. Sargent, of the technical, department, himself a li- censed operator, is the supervisor and director of the group. ' 59 Band- . The Band was disorganized at the con- clusion of the football season to allow Mr. MacAllaster to devote his complete attention to the Operetta, Yeomen of the Guard. After the operetta has been presented, however, the band will again resume rehearsals for the coming music festival which is to be held in Concord in the spring. Camera Club- This year, a Camera Club, although much discussed, was not formed. With the grad- uation of three former officers, Socrates Neos, Monte Basbas, and Anthony Morse, new members will have to revive interest in the club. If the demand is great enough Mr. Tougas of the French Department, and one of the state's leading camera authorities, will probably consent to act as adviser to the or- ganization. ' Debating Team- The seven members of the newly organ- ized debating team have held weekly meet- ings every Thursday with Mr. Freedman of the English department. A large amount of data has been compiled on the question: Re- solved, that the United States should form an alliance with Great Britain. Both sides of the question have been discussed thoroughly. Debates with city and school organizations have been planned. The executive commit- tee consists of Stanley Thomson, president, Virginia Deschenes, secretary, and Sherman Zelinsky, treasurer. SPORT SECTION Cross Country At a banquet held at the home of Coach Ray Pelletier, the lettermen of the cross coun- try team elected Bruce Barndollar captain of the 1939 squad. Barndollar earned his numerals as a fresh- man and was given his varsity letter this past season as a result of his fine showing at the different track meets. This year's team won the first leg on the beautiful Gov. Murphy trophy, symbolic of high school supremacy in State Cross Coun- try circles. Football The lettermen of the Little Green football squad have elected Paul Bureau, star full- back, as captain of Central's 1939 football eleven. Bureau, who has played fine football for the past two seasons, gained All-State recog- nition this year by being selected as captain of the second mythical All-State eleven. The hard-plunging back, known for his outstand- ing defensive play as well as for his brilliant broken field running, has proved to be a leader, as he was unanimously voted to serve as captain of the squad by his fellow team- mates for the coming year. Central players who made the All-State team were: First squad: Robert Andre- junas, Iohn Suosso, Iohn Stewart, and last year's captain, Ed Albrewczenski. Second squad: Paul Bureau and Harry Streletskyg Third teamr Louis Christis, Frank Piecuch. Monteliasbas, Roland Corrigan, and Walter Zekos gained honorable mention. Bob Andrejunas and Iohn Suosso were se- lected on the All-State team for the second successive year. Although being crushed 32-0 by Brockton High and 13-0 by Haverhill on Turkey day, the Central eleven had quite a successful season, winning six contests, having but one tie, and losing only three games. Besides this they remained State Champions, a title to which no other New Hampshire School has had a true claim. Hockey As there is an unusual amount of enthus- iasm for winter sports in the school, there is a possibility that an ice squad may be or- ganized. Last season's team played two or three games with city pick-up organizations but did not play any high school team. The team may be organized if enough candidates re- port as the hockey season opens. Freshmen Basketball The more promising sophomores who were cut from the varsity team received posi- tions on the freshmen team along with the promising freshmen hoopsters. Coach Bron- stein's chief hope was that the Frosh would grasp the fundamentals of the game so that he would not have to start from the begin- ning again next season. The Rifle Team This year's competition, so far, consisted of a match with Canaan, New Hampshire High School, and two against the Mary Wells High School of Southbridge, Massachusetts. All three matches were won by the Central team by wide margins. The scores were 222-158, using a single bull target with Canaan High, 449-410 and 424-400, using a five bull target with Mary Wells High. The first bi-weekly matches sponsored by the Iunior National Rifle Association and of nationwide scope, have recently been com- pleted. The team is now ready to enter the second series covering a twelve-week period. The Central team was high scorer from this T , SPORT SECTION 61 state, and so ,it is eligible to compete for national shooting honors. Aside from interschool competition each member is attempting to pass through the various stages of qualification with that of Distinguished Rifleman, the goal of attain- ment. 1 At a recent meeting the boys elected the following oiiicers: president, Stanford Clock, vice-president, Iohh Kukulkag secretary, Ed- ward Browng treasurer, Gilbert Bineaug ex- ecutive officer, Richard Arnold. Other members, of- the team are Stanley Anderson, Everett Byron, Alton Downie, Paul Bureau, Holliis Furbush, George Lang- er, Lyndon Lakeman, George Miller, Lynd- hurst Miller, Elliot Marshall, Daniel Ready, Ernest Soule, Alton Wike, and Albert Znajdys. 1 Ski Team As soon as the' snow conditions became favorable for skiing, a seven-man ski team, selected from the seven boys who could make the best time on the U. S. C. trail at Mount Uncanoonuc, was formed. Meets with different local clubs, skiing alumni, and with other New Hampshire high schools have been planned for the winter season. An invitation has come to the team to compete in the ski meet to be held at Meredith, New Hampshire, as guests of the New Hampton School. At that meet the Lit- tle Green skiers will compete with the best schoolboy skiers in the state, as many of the New Hampshire high school teams have been invited. The following are candidates for the 1939 squad: George Kent, Arthur Blondin, Ben Langlois, Iohn Mallan, Rogers Blood, Paul Shea, Fred Iohnston, Winston Rosborough, Frank Martell, and Tom Manning. Basketball About forty hoop candidates answered Coach Bronstein's call for basketball. When the Final cut was made the following boys were chosen for the varsity squad: Captain Stewart, Plentzas, Pappas, Piecuch, Coombs, Bobotas, Doll, Corrigan, Sheehan, Morrissey, Matraxis, and Barndollar. The team has been practising diligently on passing and basket-shooting under the watch- ful eye of Coach Bronstein, and it should be the equal of any other high school team in the state. The 1938-39 Basketball schedule is as fol- lows: Ianuary 3 Pending CHerej 6 Concord High 10 West High ' 13 At Nashua High ' 17 At St. Ioseph High ' 20 At Dover High ' 24 Nashua High ' 27 Pending fAwayQ 31 At Lowell High February 3 At Fitchburg High 7 At Concord High 10 At Lowell High ' 14 At West High ' 17 St. Ioseph High if f V7 . 1 .'..u-- G' 1:-Y' vc ' 1' A , IW' rf q l J I 'ns 7 I 'lf Y . ...,-4- f ' I- -- 2373 QT' K' - - lk V DW - ' Q MISS li.: VVe can't tleline beauty.

'I I IE' ' 9 I I HM Dear Diary- I just got a letter from Don asking me to the Dartmouth Carnival providing that I like winter sportsl I Like them, I love theml I Who wouldn't when winter sports outfits change an ugly duckling like me into a Snow Queen! I see where I go on some prolonged shopping tours for bargains. I want an air- plane-cloth parka trimmed with fur and I've simply got to have something for skating. Of course, my navy blue gabardine outfit is all right but-and, oh. horrors! I haven't any after-skiing things. P. S. I just remembered. My birthday's coming. Guess I'll do some pointed hinting. 'Specially to Uncle Rod. Feb. 2- Went shopping with Cynthia this after- noon and bought the makings of my skating rig. Chose a navy velveteen skating skirt lined with red plaid taffeta. There were so many tops to choose from that I had an aw- ful time. I finally bought a quilted airplane- cloth jacket. I figured I could wear it with my garbardine ski trousers, too. It comes just to my waist and is fitted in with Lastex in- serts at the sides to keep it from creeping up, leaving a drafty space around your midriff. It is double-breasted and has leg-of-mutton sleeves. Cynthia wants a short jacket also because most of the longer ones make you look bulky, and she's rather plump to begin with. My only extravagance was a perfectly scrumptious angora sweater to wear with my skating skirt. It is so thick that the sus- penders simply sink out of sight. Feb. 4- Got another letter from Don-said to bring along an evening gown. Guess I'll bring the white one with the almost hooped skirt and drop shoulders that have tiny rhins stone straps to hold them up. My black vel- vet wrap with the hood will just set it off. I can't help but look right in that gown. I had a bright idea today. When I saw brother Ierry walking along in his plaid shirt, it sud- denly occurred to me that it was just what I needed to wear under my ski suit. Guess I'1l borrow it. Of course, he doesn't know about it yet. Bought a set of mittens, scarf, and socks at Iackson's. They'r white with col- ored peasant embroidery on them. I suppose they'll get dirty tout de suite. They certainly look like those expensive imported ones. But between you and me and the bedpost they aren't. Feb. 7- My Birthday! ll Well, at last, Sweet Six- teen but forget about the rest of it. Cynthia I FASHION Norris 67 gave me a detachable hood. Probably the nearest I'll get to a parka. Dad gave me some Norwegian ski boots, and Mom gave me some soft felt boots with peasant em- broidery to wear around the Hre after skiing. Brother Ierry showed great intuition in giv- ing me a flannel shirt like the one I was go- ing to borrow. Wonder how he knew! Gee, my birthday sure helped my Carnival ward- robe. Wonder how they knew what I wanted. Feb. 8- Messenger boy woke me up this morning. Had a package from Uncle Rod. lt was a sealskin muff, and just matches the fur trim on my grey tweed coat. Uh-juh-I see Mother's hand in that. He also enclosed some money for a hat and a note telling me to pick out one that Don would like. Sent my green wool dress to the cleaner's. Hope they remove all traces of my birthday cake. Aunt Libby sent me a Hannel nightie. This isn't as bad as it sounds, because its twin was advertised in the last issue of Vogue. Feb. 10- Nearly wore out a perfectly good pair of shoes looking for a hat. Maybe Mother will let me have those black suede pumps now for the others really look quite shabby. The hat I finally chose makes me look like the old-fashioned girl on the Christmas card. Saw a luscious dusky pink chenille house- coat. Perhaps I can inveigle Mom into buy- ing it for me. Spent the evening having my extra special dress htted. The neck has a draw-string and the bodice is soft and full. Q lllyr x D I I 1 ll i l nun. -in l cn- - il H 'i - ln- i l ' - L n '11 Q -'ii l..
