Before us lies a fateful land, liehind, the work of heart and hand Has ripened into joy. VVhen lo, an omen fair we see, A fiery comet trailing flame Across the sky,-an augury That bodes for us a destiny Of never-ending fame. 'Tis said that works of great moment The blazing eomet's path precedes, Then this may be our herald sent, A flaming pillar earthward bent, Inspiring worthy deeds: That we the class of Nineteen-ten With burning hearts and serried lines, May, failing, only strive again, And seek reward beyond all ken:- This year the comet shines! lt comes, and silver starlight pales Before its meteoric gold, But soon chaotic darkness veils Its gleam, the void from whence it hails Receives it as of old. From out the depths of stilly night, Through space unmeasured, vast, lt toiled with supernatural might, Until triuniphantly its light Emerged, and shone at last. And thus before us lies our way, Unknown and oft beset with trials. We, too, must wait until the day NVhen we at last through hard essay, May conquer Fortune's wiles. Our comet passes star on star And boldly braves the dim abyss, And though our progress leads us far, No obstacle shall stay, or mar Our fame's transcendent bliss. For we shall strive until we gain The goal to which we each aspire, Nor ever deem the struggle vain, Since, as we toil with might and main, We near our heart's desire. And though within the ranks enrolled, Our fate decrees we may not be, No flame of zeal shall e'er grow cold. Though silent stars alone behold Our strife and victory. No petty aims shall rule our year , No petty deed disgrace its fame. Beneath our comet glancing clear, Can live no tainting thought of fear Of cowardice or shame, The while our motto-like the call Of bugle blast that piercingly Rings throufvh the soldiers' banquet hall- Inspires the hearts of one and all With hope of victory. Then here's to our own Nineteen-ten! The class that was, and is to be. Lift up once more our banner then, And cry the slogan o'er again, No strife, no victory. And though divided on Life's strand, May we still battle so that when The rolls of fame unopened stand, The foremost named of all that band Will be the class of '10. THUSA MADELLA REAM, '10. 5 THE INTERLUDE 1 1 1 H U M O R 1 1 1 ,vy HAT is lnnnor and what do we mea11 'Yy dit you vant to make it ven it vas made Qf, by a sense of humor? XYebster de- alretty ?' g-ff! Fines humor as that which is adapted fNo, I mean l was too late to get aboard ?' L '4 to excite laughter, and a sense of 'Yot for you vant a board F' humor has come to mean the readiness to see a joke , the ability to laugh at the laughable or incongruous in life. And what a dull, uniform, unhappy place the world would be without this sense of humor. Suppose Cervantes, Rabelais, Shakespeare, Dickens, Sydney Smith had never been born-let's not. The thought is too dismal to contemplate. Wit, including satire, irony, sarcasm, is a form of humor not so much appreciated by the Teu- tonic mind as the Celtic. Wit is artificial, and may be acquired, humor is natural and a sense of hu- mor can never be grafted in a soul so unhappy as to be without it. Wit is a product of the intellect, humor, of the imagination and affections. The essence of wit is cleverness, sharpness, hawk- eyed mental cunning, the essence of humor is warmth, tenderness, love. The witty man iso- lates himself and watches like a spy in the corner while the humorist mingles with men. Wit is cold, sparkling, mercurial, subtile, volatile, elec- tric, humor is warm, genial, natural, kind, hearty, harmless. Some one has said that humor and pathos are twins. The humorist laughs through tears , but wit is never pathetic. Wit is brief, rapier-like. Humor is broad and diffusive. Wit converges to a focus, like a lens, humor distorts, multiplies like a prism. Wit is chain- lightning-dazzling, terrifying, humor is sum- mer sheet-lightning-Iiarmless and beautiful. The retort of a Boston lawyer when cross-ex- amining the plaintiff in a divorce trial: 'You wish to divorce this woman because she drinks F' 'Yes, sir.' 'Do you drink yourself ?' 'That's my business !'--angrily. 'Have you any other business? is witty, while the following account of the lack of fellow feeling on the part of a German is hu- morous: In a wild dash to catch his train a belated suburbanite went leaping up the stairs at an 'Li station, only to reach the platform just as the gates were slammed shut and the train began to move. Panting violently, and watching the de- parting train for a moment, he finally sought to elicit a little sympathy or comfort from a Ger- man bystander. Assuming an air of indiffer- ence, he remarked good-naturedly, 'I didn't quite make it l' 'Make vot ?' inquired the German, who, appar- ently, had not noticed anything unusual. 'That train.' fNo, not that, I wanted to take that train.' 'How coot you took it veu so many hat it al- retty F' 'No, no, no' texcitedlyj : 'I mean I wanted to ride on that train. but didn't get here soon enoughf just then the German's train pulled up at the station, and as he stepped through the gate he was heard to reply: 'Dot vos too bad: but how vos it any of my pizness ?' ' A form of humor that is intensely amusing and much abused is parody. A parody is a bringing of a great idea and trivial one into sudden and unexpected collision, clothed as nearly as may be in the same dress. Three conditions are neces- sary to a successful parody- it must be legiti- mately comic, it must be a skillful minicry of a well-known original that is neither too good to be above, nor too bad to be below, ridicule, and it must be brief. These three conditions are fulfilled in the amusing American parody on Moore, relating an incident we have all met with but perhaps never told so cleverly or with such an absence of temper: I never had a piece of bread Particularly good and wide, That fell not on the sanded rloor, And always on the buttered side. We laugh at a parody and yet we feel a sense of loss, of unrest. Something has been stolen from the beauty and sublimity of the poem, and ever after a vague, Pandora-like shadow will glide between us and its real meaning, an ugly, mocking, little elf will jeer at us from between the lines. VVe feel that Something beautiful is vanished, And we sigh for it in vain, We behold it everywhere, On the earth and in the air, But it never comes again l ln a way a parody is a compliment to the pop- ularity of a selection for only something very well-known can be successfully parodied. The selections most parodied are Shakespeare's To Be or Not to Be , Gray's Elegy , Moore's 'Twas Ever Thus and Believe Me , Tenny- son's 'fBrook , and Poe's Raven , VVe are all agreed that humor furnishes sup- port and consolation under the trials, vexatious, and disappointments of life, but it has other and perhaps graver uses. Emerson says that the perception of the ludicrous is a pledge of san- THE INTERLUDE 7 ity. A rouge alive to the ludicrous is still con- vertible. If that sense is lost, his fellow-man can do little for him. Such is the state1ne11t of one of the wisest and sanest men that ever lived. llumor preserves health. gives rest to thought- ful. busy, energetic minds, prevents narrowness and prejudices, and is the guardian of the minor morals of society: that is, it limits eccentricity, impudence, selhshness, extravagance. lt is a weapon to whip into place those who are insen- sible to ordinary moral denunciation. A man who will laugh at a sermon will shrink from a laugh. I own I'm proud-I inust be proud--to sec Men not afraid of God afraid of ine, - was the boast of the little wasp of Twicken- ham . Many evils, such as duclling were only abolished when the world ridiculed them. As Thackeray has pointedly expressed it, the humor- ist is a week-day preacher . 'ZX great tragic poet ought also to be a great comic poetfl once said Socrates, and Arch-deacon llare has said of the great Shakespeare in whom these qualities were united- No heart would have been strong enough to hold the woe of l.ear and Othello, ex- cept that which had the unquenchable elasticity of lialstaff and the .llid-szllnmef' Niglifs Dream . lflumor quickens friendship. How often has a laugh united a roomful of strangers who but for the timely jest might have been strangers to the end of the chapter. And error itself is best con- fronted with a smiling face and gentle ridicule, rather than glum looks and dreary sermons. llut the expression that you can never get too much of a good thing does not hold true in this case. l'erverted humor is a bad thing. A char- acter all hunior is like a glass of wine all froth. llunior should have a foundation of good sense and substantial thought or it is injurious to its possessor and wearisome to his friends. Humor is perverted when it is used to give pain. Ihat humor which makes fun of the misfortunes of others is not really humor. Irreverence, a mock- ing of the deep and tragic things of life, an ap- plication of liiblical passages to trivial or ludicr- ous events is always a misuse of humor. as is also a combination of the grave and the ridiculous, the mean and the exalted, or a rapid descent from the sublime and beautiful to the false and de- grading. The first American humorist was llenjamin Franklin, who even to this day has not been sur- passed in either the quality or quantity of his humor. His humor is abundant and never fail- ing, as fresh and enjoyable in the twentieth cen- tury as it was in the eighteenth. His humor was homely, keen, practical. llis almanac abounds with sparkling fun: If you'd lose a troublesome visitor, lend him money. Knaves a11d nettles are aking stroke 'em even kindly, yet they'll sting. The good or ill hap of a good or ill life, is the good or ill choice of a good or ill wife. It is ill-manners to silence a fool, and cruelty to let him go on. To bear other peoples aftlictions every one has enough to spare. No workman without tools. Nor lawyer without fools Can live by their rules. Love your neighbor, yet don't pull down the hedge. Many a man's own tongue gives evidence against his understanding. If jack's in love, he's no judge of -Iill's beauty. i His autobiography has many passages of ex- quisite humor: where he tells of Kermer, a printer, a great glutton, who invited two friends and Franklin to dine with him, and ordered a roast pig: But, it being brought too soon upon the table, he could not resist the temptation and ate the whole before we came. XVhen American Minister to Paris, .Franklin was greatly pressed by F renehmen whom he did not know for recommendations to military .com- missions. So he prepared an introductory 'let- ter that might serve for all: . Sir: The bearer of this, who is going to .-Xmerica, presses me to give him alletter of rec- ommendation, though I know nothing of him, not even his name, This may seem extraordi- nary, but I assure you it is not uncommon here. Sometimes, indeed, one unknown person brings another equally unknown to recommend himg and sometimes they reconnnend one another. As to this gentleman, I must refer you to himself for his character and merits, with which he is certainly better acquainted than I can possibly be. I recommend him, however, to thosecivili- ties which every stranger, etc. Wliile his reply to his daughter who had SCl1t for some Paris goods, among them lace and feathers, must have been very disappointing for her, it is full of a quaint, delicious humor for us. He says: I send all the articles you desire that are use- ful and necessary and omit the rest: for as you say you should have great pride in wearing any- thing I send, and showing it as your fatl1er's taste, I must avoid giving you an opportunity of doing that with either lace or feathers. If you wear your cambric ruffles as I do and take care not to mend the holes, they will come in time to be laceg and feathers, my dear girl, may be had in America from every cock's tail. This is humor without sting, kindly, delightful fun which fills ns with a pleasurable glow with- out provoking uproarious laughter. The laugh- ter holding both its sides style of humor belongs to Mark Twain more than to any other humorist. Every word-ripples and erackles with fun. His humor is the true American brand that can be appreciated nowhere in the world so well as in 8 THE INTERLUDE our own United States. It is broad but not vul- gar, impersonal and therefore kind. The con- versation between the slangy miner and an orthodox minister in Buck' Fanshattfs Funeral is especially appreciated by Americans who are fam- ous or infamous for their slang. The miner is so thoroughly educated in it as almost to have become a foreigner to English-speaking people: 'Well, you've got the bulge on me. Or may- be we've both got the bulge, somehow. You don't smoke me and I don't smoke you. You see one of the boys has passed in his checks, and we want to give him a good send-off, and so the thing I'm on now is to rout out somebody to jerk a little chin-music for us and waltz him through handsomef 'My friend, I seem to grow more and more bewildered. Your observations are wholly in- comprehensible to me. Cannot you simplify them some way? At first I thought perhaps I under- stood you, but now I grope. Would it not expe- dite manners if you restricted yourself to cate- gorical statements of fact unincumbered with ob- structing accumulations of metaphor and alle- ?Y J! Equally amusing is the charming conceit of the American Specimenu. Americans are not the most modest people in the world, but we be- lieve few have quite the sang froid of the Speci- men with his breezy self-complacency which is the adolescent's idea of the well bred ease of the man of the world.liiHe had all the look of an American who would be likely to begin his signature with an initial and spell his middle name outf' We are overpowered by the gracious condescension of his address: Very glad to make your acquaintance, 'm sureg very glad indeed, assure you. I've read all your little efforts and greatly admired them, and when I heard you were here, I ---.' And the irony of the closing remark: It is a great and solemn thing to have a grandfather. We have all met the woman who is afraid of lightning. O yes! The woman who wrings her hands and emits feeble little groans during the refreshing thunder-storm that we have been wish- ing for for days is, unhappily, only too familiar to us, but Mrs. McWilliams', leads not only the band of these women but her husband as well. On being told he ought to be ashamed for sleeping through a storm, Mr. McWilliams ex- claims: 'Wl1y, how can one be ashamed when he is asleep? It is unreasonableg- a man cau't be ashamed when he is asleep, Evangeline ?' 'You never try, Mortimer-you know very well you never try,' sobs Evangeline from the wardrobe whither she has taken refuge from thc lightning. And again, 'VVhat is that, Mortiine-r?' 'The cat.' 'The cat! Ch, destruction! Catch her, and shut her up in the washstand. Do be quick, love: cats are full of electricity. I just know my hair will turn white with this night's awful perils.' The awful perils turn out to be the booming of a cannon and the flashes of light emitted from it. So for once at least fears of a thunder-storm were groundless. The comical distress of the European guide over the seeming stolidness of the Americans is delightfully humorous : 'Ah, genteelmen, you come wis us! I show you beautiful, oh, magnificent bust Christopher Colombo! Splendid, grand, magnificent P' He brought us before the beautiful bust,-for it was beautiful,-and sprung back and struck an attitude. 'Ah, look, genteelmen l-beautiful, grand,- bust Christopher Colombo !-beautiful bust, beau- tiful pedestall' The doctor put up his eye-glass,-procured for such occasions. 'Ah,-what did you say this gentleman's name was P' 'Christopher Colombo! Ze great Christopher Colombol' 'Well, what did he do ?' 'Discover America l-discover America !-Oh, ze diable !' 'Discover America? No, that statement will hardly wash. We are just from America our- selves. Christopher Colombo !-pleasant name, -is-is he dead F' 'Oh, corpo di Baccho!-tree hundred yearl' 'What did he die of?' I do not know. I cannot tell.' Small-pox, think P' I do not know, genteelmen, I do not know what he die of.' 'Measles, likely P' 'Maybe-maybe. I do not know,-I think he die of something' 'Parents living ?' 'I m- posscebl e I' This is the true type of American humor as expressed in Mark Twain, that will make anyone laugh. And let us not smother our laughter or draw our faces to prodigious lengths. There is such a thing as taking life too seriously, and in this strenuous age of strikes and race struggles and panics we need to laugh much, for there's a true philosophy in cheering ha, ha, ha.

Zyl ,Q XQK ,Z remiss N TT' -W?i-fwsbie' THE INTERLUDE 9 CONTINUATION OF SENATOR GORDON'S SPEECH lThis manuscript is an imagined continuation of Senator Gordon's speech-original with the exception of thc indented paragraphj .X few weeks ago I listened to an old gray- haired Senator delivering his first and last speech before the United States Senate. He had been chosen to fill a vacancy caused by a deadlock in the senatorial election in his home state. The- Senate chamber had been a scene of confusion. Men representing the private in- terests of the country had been pitted against true statesmen in the battle over a national measure. There were Senators who were sac- rificing their honor and their reputation to ob- tain the cherished legislation. There were other Senators who loved their country and their people, and were fighting for a righteous cause. The battle had waged hot and heavy and during a lull in the fight the great, slender six- foot man rose and addressed the chair: Mr. President, I have been informed that the deadlock in the senatorial election in my honle state has been broken, and that I must soon allow my successor to take my place in this body. As I am about to retire from the Senate, I wish to express my feelings, my pro- found convictions, gained from my brief ex- periencc here. I come to you to talk of friend- ship and of love for one another. My religion is the eleventh commandment of Christ, when he said, 'A new commandment I give unto vou, that ye love one another'. That is what I should like to bring about here. That is my object in standing here to-day to talk to you as I am going to. I want to implant in you, just as it is in my heart. a growing love for the country in which I live and the people I live with. I :un from the South, but I live with you all. You are not divided from me by Mason and Dixon's line. or any other lines. I want to wipe out all lines. I want to see Mason and Dixou's line obliterated from the map of the United States and in its place the words, 'Our country'. These words uttered by the Senator touched a sympathetic chord in the hearts of those present and evoked a responsive thrill, a senti- ment such as had not existed since the days of the Civil XVar. Men began to note with ex- treme interest the existing situation. Then the Senator continued: VVhen the first white man set foot on American soil, he was not restricted by any lines or boundaries other than those of nature. The country from the Arctic to the Gulf and from the Atlantic to the Pacific was solidly one and was not div- ided by any lines of distinction or separation. Since then matters have changed wonderful- ly. Generation after generation has seen prob- lems loom up before it anfl others have seen them solved. I have a series of pictures in mind. The first is a scene of the early settlers of this country as they felled the trees, hewed the rough logs, and builded for themselves homes there within the sound of the Atlantic surf. In the second I see their sons and daugh- ters with their axes on their shoulders toiling their way across the Appalachians into the broad Mississippi vallev. The third and final presents a long train of emigrant wagons winding slowly downward from the mountains into the beautiful valley of California. It is a splendid scene not alone mingled with joy and sadness as, pausing for a moment, those sturdy pioneers behold that fruitful valley which lies before them, and the golden sun as it sinks into the depths of the Pacific. Each of these generations had its problems, and so has the present one, Today We are facing a problem that is as old as the human race. a problem with which the first of the human species battled, and one that has ever since confronted man. And that is the prob- lem of integrity, the struggle of human right against corporate privilege. If every American could realize that integ- rity is an essential factor in governing, this nation could be handed down to posterity with the confidence that it would remain a world power for generations to come. And what a splendid thing that would be to have every man take a conscientious share in the preservation of our father-land! In this strenuous and progressive age we are likely to think too much of the remun- erative ends of life and sacrifice those splendid qualities which are attributes of man alone. I cannot but associate with integrity the names and characters of some of the nation's eminent men. And first among these I should name the father of our country, George W'ash- ington. Ifis character was a composite of truth, courage, and virtue-of honor which throughout his life he never compromised. Then later in history we find Abraham Lin- coln, who stood before the nation at the crisis with beliefs supported by strong moral convic- tions. Passing on to the present age, which is of perhaps more interest, I point with enthusiasm to the name of Theodore Roosevelt, a man who stands before the world and allows only his conscience to dictate his actions. These are examples of men who have stood for the right. I could name many more, but these are foremost. Now, Senators, I wish to press upon you the need of conscientiousness in this honored place. Think of the millions of homes and of 10 THE, INTERLUDE the lives in this country whose happiness is at stake with the character of the legislation that is here enacted. Wie should love this na- tion far too well to allow one jot or tittle to be abated from its sacred honor. Shall we crush to the earth and trample in the dust the faith that our forefathers over a century and a quar- ter ago established on this continent? Are we to flaunt in the faces of those serene dwellers in their orbs on high the ruins of the once cherished treasure for which they spent their fortunes, their talents, and their blood? I stand at sunset and I hear in the dust at my feet the slithering of countless serpents grovelling, with greedy, glittering eyes upon their prey. And then I look off to the distant mountain peaks and hear the cry of the eagle, that noble bird of freedom, as it soars to its nest among the rocks. That picture is before me now as I think of the men of this nation-those who are not true patriots, who would not sacrifice their lives in the glare of the cannon's mouth, men who love the dark and hate the light: men who sacrifice the nation's welfare for personal gain. They are all alike infamous. But there is the patriot who loves the nation and his peo- ple, who is full of honor, truth, and integrity, standing erect where freedom reigns supreme. Let us all strive to enlist ourselves in the ranks of the patriot citizens and set our ideals at a noble height toward which to aspire, keeping always in mind those manly virtues which have assisted in building nations and which have reared the walls of mighty people. I hope I have not encroached upon your time. I have made these remarks with malice toward no one. I believe I have pointed out the situation as it is. I hope that some of you will consider what I have said: and when I go from your midst I wish you all to remember this short talk I have made today. 1 want you all to love our nation: and in kindness and friendship to remove all lines of hatred and dis- sension. I thank you, Senators, for your attention. CHANci2Lr.oR IXIOSCIIELL, President of the Class of 1910. THE GLOBE THEATRE AND PLAYS OF SHAKESPEARE'S TIME HEXAGONAL, tower-like building, 17'I,f,y surrounded by a muddy ditch fash- ioned after the mediaeval moat, and only partially covered by a shelf-like roof projecting inward along the top of the tower and leaving a huge six-sided hole in the center, through which the rain might stream at will, such was the theater in which Shake- speare acted and for which he wrote his plays. It stood outside the center of Ishndon in the midst of a scattered settlement of old-fashioned houses with straight fronts, peaked gables, and tiny square-paned windows. Thebroad pathway which wound up along the river bank among green meadows and scrubby trees. was almost picturesque, but the theater itself was wholly unattractive. As far up as the height of an ordinary house the walls were perfectly plain and bare, and even the two rows of windows beginning at that point only gave a rude and barbarous appearance to the whole edifice. From a lodge built on one of the six corners a red flag fluttered, and from here the blast of a trumpet, announcing the hour of performance, sounded almost every afternoon. Even a stranger unacquainted with London customs, soon found that the foulest weather had apparently no effect on the English play- goers. Through drizzling rain and scorch- ing heat, the long row-boats still darted to and fro along the Thames. Boatmen shouting out the direction of their intended course in such Dhrases as Westward, ho, or Northward, ho, thronged the waterways, while others, having drawn their boats up close to the shore, kept calling at the top of their voices, Pass- age for the Globe Theater, Passage for the lllackfriars Theater, and a dozen other cries, indistinguishable in the general din. Cour- tiers and nobles, resplendent in velvet cloaks and jeweled doublets, jostled good-humoredlv against the ragged apprentice or professional beggar in the general throng along the shore. Once inside the theater, however, the dis- tinction between rich and poor was more sharply drawn. The lower class invariably sought the pit, a rude floor several feet lower than the stage. and placed directly beneath the open portion of the roof, while the covered gal- leries, ranged along the back and sides of the stage, were occupied by the more artistocratic populace. In the pit there were neither benches nor stools and even in the galleries these commodities were a decided scarcity, al- though they might, with much persuasion, be obtained for an extra shilling or two. Under these circumstances, even the wealthier audi- ence followed the example of that in the pit. and flinging thmselves on the Hoor, plaved cards, drank, or swore with as much energy as any of their lesser countrymen. In fact. an ac- complished courtier's quarreling with the rab- ble in the pit was no unusual thing, and for want of better missiles, apples, nutshells, and even beer-cans were often flung at random by contending parties. llrawls among the listen- ers were common. If an actor displeased them, they interrupted his soliloquv to tell him so. and instances are recorded where a disgusted mob bore the unlucky dramatist to the nearest tavern, and there subjected him to' all man- ner of buffoonery. In fact, so rude had their THE INTERLUDE ill manner become in every way that no lady of nobility ever entered the theater without a mask, although her rank was clearly betrayed by the profusion of jewelry which she wore, upon the quantity of which fashion had pre- scribed no limit. Nor were the men in that age more chary of splendor than their ladies. W'ide, embroidered collars, jewel-bedecked doublets, gold and silver shoe buckles, wide hats, and ample cloaks of the most expensive fashion, were everywhere in vogue. In direct contrast with all this social splen- dor was the rudeness and primitive aspect of the play-houses themselves. The stage, cov- ered with rushes and extending far out into the audience room, was but partly protected from the weather. A small alcove at the back, hidden from view by a scant curtain, was the only available doorway, and through this the actors were accustomed to make both their en- trance and exit. There were very few stage properties. A rude throne, a rough table, and a bench or two, were usually the best that could be had, although wooden animals were sometimes included among the other theatri- cal necessities, and some few mechanical de- vices were used, such as a pullev with which to raise the ghosts or gods to heaven,,' and a trap-door in the floor, which, when occasion re- quired, would serve either as an entrance for spirits or as a grave. Owing to the small di- mensions and limited facilities of the stage, whole armies were often represented by as few as six men, and prologues were introduced to give the audience a more concise idea of the progress and surroundings of the plot, such an insertion being especially necessary when ac- tion was complicated or change of scene fre- quent, since this prologue, or chorus as Shake- speare terms it, and a scroll displayed at one end of the platform were the sole means of an- nouncing the place of action. Any further background could be supplied only by the list- ener's imagination. The acting was almost as rude as the scenerv --little, if any, discrimination being used in the choice of costumes. The actor who recited the prologue usually wore a long black robe, and the garb of a comedian was even more fantas- tic than that of a modern clown. Even the more important characters were sometimes crudely represented. Brutus and Cassius ap- peared in the second scene of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar with Spanish cloaks instead of Roman togas, and contrary to the Latin cus- tom of being unarmed within the capitol, car- ried their swords throughout the dialogue. No women were allowed on the stage. instead, when such a character as Juliet came in, the audience found themselves applauding an awk- ward, shambling boy in petticoats, who was embraced with the imminent hazard of brush- ing the brick-dust off his cheeks: the villain's moustache was a black streak made by burnt corkg while the knight had only to draw a sliirtover his coat and the gifted audience saw at once a suit of mail blazoned with some heraldic device. So versatile was their imag- ination that an actor besprinkled with plaster might represent a stone wall in one scene and by carrying a lantern, be received as the moon in the next. , Another unique and seemingly obstructive fashion of the time -was the presence of spec- tators on the stage. Nobles and distinguished courtiers were admitted to this privilege by every company and asserted their superiority again and again by interrupting the actors and criticising either their method of performing or the literary value of some especial scene. Imagine a present-day actor turning his back deliberately on one division of his audience, crowding past another, and hearing the oaths and wranglings of the third above his declama- tion, and you have at least a partial concep- tion of the inconvenience which the early drama tolerated. Men played cards on the stage as coolly as they would have done in a private tavern, decorum and attention were unknown terms, and the plan of the theater it- self was such as to give the spectators the least commodiogus point of view. In the midst of all these conditions the Elizabethan drama continued to thrive for years with no abatement of its intense and growing popularity. its appeal was made to rich and poor alike ,and there was scarcely an Englishman in the seventeenth century who was not the-,passionate devotee and patron of the London stage. So that in this the least fastidious age of history, the greatest dramas of the world were written. Having broken away from the old Greek and Roman custom of maintaining a single unity of time and place, there was nothing left which might re- tard dramatic growth. On the other hand. the demand made upon the imagination by poor scenery, with the consequent betterment of every play where words were compelled to do the duty which the modern canvas now nsurpsg the fact that every author of import- ance was an actor as well as a writer: and the very simplicity of the stage itself which could accommodate any amount of imagery, repre- senting the cliffs of Dover as veraciously as the English channel, or the Roman forum as truly as an linglish throne-room, made the drama one of intense emotion, spontaneity, and freedom, such as has been eqnaled in no late age. much less surpassed. TnUsA REAM, '10, I2 THE INTERLUDE 1 1 CLASS HISTORY 1 1 E51 UTWARDLY it was a clear sunshiny E351 day-that wonderful day when we feyfail found ourselves through with grade work and ready to approach the goal of our ambition-High School. Inwardly, too, joy and excitement reigned: that is, before we reached the inside of the big building which was to be our school home, for what seemed then an interminable length of time-four years-though a few hours of our new home- life sufticed to dampen our high spirits, and to make every one of us long for the eighth grade and Mr. Byers. Such confusion as greeted us! Loud talking, lockers banging, students hurrying to and fro! How lonely we all felt! Groups of us stood here and there, dejectedly huddled together, talking in low tones and dreading the morning's ordeal. Then the great gong sounded. and tiniidly we approached the Assembly Hall. where, after all had seated themselves, Mrs. Dakin read off a long list of recitations, upon which most of us vainly attempted to take notes. Then Mr. Neff informed us a period of ten minutes would be spent in each recitation room, in which time we were to get the following day's assignment, the books to be used, etc. And it was with this part of the program that our troubles began. The upper classmen, especially the Sopho- mores and those who had so recently been very fresh Freshies, began their usual tac- tics. XVe were informed that the lockers were receiving vaults for Freshies and advised to beware of opening the same. Hair-raising tales were told us in a very tragic manner concerning the skeleton standing in Miss Montgomery's room, and one of us is even reported to have peeped cautiously at it through the door and wondered whether or not we ever looked like that. VVe were hailed generally as Fresh: called waving fields of green: advised to drink milk for our health: forced to run the gauntlet along the halls and stairways: directed to Mrs. Dakin's room as Miss Dunbar's room and made to act out all those one-act farces in which the majority of every Freshman class is forced, although not according to its own will, to take leading roles. But a few days of such torture, and our elders tired of their pranks and left us in peace. XVe began to breathe freely again, and to gain our old-time self-confidence. The work established itself in its given order, and we were feeling fully as important as any one else in the school fthough it is highlv probable we were the only ones who felt thusl. All of us had high ideals then. All of us were going to be valedictorians, winners of the Thrush- Fassett medal, and some of us-a very few of us-have attained those ideals: and others-well, others of us have fallen very far short of them. Little else was done that year other than acquainting ourselves with our teachers, learn- ing the ins and outs of High School life, and the holding of the single Freshman meeting for organization. Officers were elected at this time: Lawrence Romine, President: Ollie Kern, Vice-President: Allen Hack, Secretary: Tom Reed, Treasurer: James Reynolds, Nar- shall. Though this was our last meeting, we nevertheless felt more closely banded together. and had occasion demanded it, the world should have known that a loyal Freshman class existed. Our second year was, perhaps, the least eventful of all. We had safely passed our in- fant stage, and though most of us still re- garded the dignified Seniors with some degree of awe, we were also conscious of our rise to third place from top. XVe are especially proud of the fact that we were the first Sophomore class in the history of the school to give a hay- ride. Most of us remember that outing as a very lively one: for some of the Seniors and Juniors who did not deem it wise that such small children as the Sophs of 1910 be permit- ted to journey seven miles in the country alone, awaited our coming at a conveniently dark place along the road. where, at the psychologi- cal moment, they assailed us, and, failing to find seat room, followed in our wake upon shank's mare fpresumably to be in our delight- ful company, though it is very probable a de- sire for some of the good eats,' which they knew were aboard, was as good a reason as anyl. Nor are we willing to concede that hay- rides were the only things which interested the Sophs: for they proved their loyalty to class and school by entering everything in the shape of athletics, and in doing their share in boosting the societies and glee clubs of which they were members. Hut time Flies, and soon we had passed from that period of knowing not that we know not into that of knowing not that we know or that jolliest of all years-the Junior year. The class organized rather slowly that year: in fact, our class elections became a standing joke in the school, for it took three different sets of nominations to satisfy the Board of Control. Tint those finally chosen served us ably: Chancellor Moschell. Presi- dent: Bess Miller, Vice-President: Everett Carr, Secretary: Horace Russell, Treasurer, and Ambrose Strong, Marshal. Then came our hay-ride. We were royally entertained at the home of our classmate, Ar- zie Parett, five miles beyond Mishawaka. But a bare mention of this need be made. for who can forget the good time we had? Most of us were ashamed to look a pop-corn ball or a THE INTERLUDE 13 piece of fudge in the face for days after the affair. The parties held at Vic Paxson's and Florence Cregier's with their respective stunts at the one, and the episode of the lim- burger cheese placed in Earl l.'rice's coat pocket by some wicked little boys at the other, are memorable occasions as well. Then the Ex -that affair to which every student from the time of his entry into school looks forward. The Ex of 1909 differed from all other Exes in previous history in the High School, for instead of representing the whole class upon the stage Qfor, indeed, either the class was too large or the Oliver stage too small to accommodate us allj, the class was represented as a whole and, indeed, very ably by the members of the cast of the play, The Elopement of Ellenf' And who of us will ever forget that! The rector, with his, I just came across through the garden, hoping I might be of service, the love tangles between Max and Dorothy, Ellen, the new maid, Bobbie and Mr. and Mrs. Sears, the newly married couple! It was the best Ex ever given fwe thinkj, though former Junior classes may not agree entirely with us upon that point. And lastly but not leastlv came the ban- quets. The night following the Junior Ex, we were entertained at an elaborate banquet telaborate both as to decorations and eatablesj by the Seniors of 1909, and ideal hosts they proved themselves to be, for those of us who went spent an enjoyable evening. We re- turned the compliment early in April, and even the Seniors had to admit, though very reluct- antly. that our menu beat theirs and that they had a splendid time. A few months intervened, and we came back to find ourselves the dignified Seniors, and to a realization that High School life would not be very much longer for us. Dig- nified Seniors! Yet how many of us really felt dignified? Most of us felt as care-free as we did in our Freshman days, though, perhaps, something of our responsibility as examples to under classmen did weigh upon us, and we began to realize in a measure how near we were and are to entering that larger school- Life. Still, we went into it with the zest and spirit that has ever characterized our class, with the idea of making it one of the best and jolliest of the four years, and, indeed, we have succeeded. We began with an early election of competent officers: Chancellor Moschell, President, lless Miller, Vice-President, Elinor Wolf, Secretary, Mar-k Duncan, Treasurer, and Marcell XValsh, Marshal. Soon the an- nual Senior disease, known as Pinitis, took violent hold upon us, almost threatening us with death. The pin doctor was unable to cure us entirely, at first, since the male sec- tion of the class positively refused to take the four-cornered pill- pretzel, as they preferred to call it-because they did not fancy the shape, mainly, however, because they liked to be stubborn, and wanted that which tickled their palate, rather than that which was best for them. In due time, however, and for va- rious reasons they swallowed it gracefully, though somewhat reluctantly, and the entire class recovered with marvelous rapidity. This dangerous point in our career having been passed, we began to look around for something of a lighter nature. The boys were the first to discover the something which was in the shape of a party at Melville Hall, given in honor of the girls. A few weeks later the girls returned the compliment, which par- took of the nature of a winter picnic. The markedly successful Junior-Senior masquer- ade, held for the purpose of better acquainting the members of each class with themselves and each other-the two banquets, remem- bered chieliy for the overwhelming number of girls in attendance-all followed in quick suc- cession, and are things still fresh in mind. And now we have come to Commencement time-our graduation. That great event for which we have been preparing for twelve long years is upon us. A few more days and the class of 1910 will be but school history. Yes, it brings a feeling of sadness as well, for school friends with whom we have been associated for so long must be broken away from and school life, for many of us, must give way to world life. Everything about the old school becomes suddenly dear, and we leave its threshold with hesitating steps, eager to go, yet hating to leave its infiuences and associa- tions behind. But the wrench must be made, sudden and painful though it may be. Things will never be, can never be, the same again, yet in future years we shall all look to this as one of the happiest periods of life, and old S. B. H. S. will alway have one of the warmest spots in our hearts. Nor as we pass do we forget those who have made our graduation possible. XVe realize that our misbehaviors-disturbing classes, causing annoyance generally, swiping banners ffly- ing them, tooj have been enough to turn their hair gray, yet they have been patient of and lenient with our shortcomings, and have at- tributed them to the superabundance of ani- mal spirit within us. We have learned and prof- ited by learning and our Alma Mater sends us out fairly well equipped to cope with the world. Two events yet remain, the class play, Ingo- mar, which we know will be the best ever pre- sented by any Senior class, and the Commence- ment exercises, when we shall receive our diplomas-then all will be over-and the his- tory of the class is made. Success and happi- ness to every member of the Class of 1910. May they never forget the friendships formed and the good times enjoyed in High School days! May their motto ever be, No strifeg no victory, remembering, meanwhile, that af- ter all it 'Tis the contest that delights us- not the victory, and thus prove themselves worthy graduates of the South Bend High School!

KAHN, '10. 16 THE INTERLUDE if M VALEDICTORY I I FS: I-IAT great work has been accomplished or can be accomplished in this world ing without effort-even strife? Did the ancient Greeks win their high renown in the arts bv sitting calmly with folded hands, waiting or wishing for sucess? Did the old Romans build their mighty empire in a night, or maintain their strong position without a struggle? Was the spread of Christianity ef- fected without strife? Indeed not! It took much of labor and effort conscientiously ap- plied, before the goal was reached, but the re- sult repaid the means, for in the end, it was Victory! 'Tis very seldom the case that success is gained with but one attempt, and it is only when one is willing to laugh misfortune in the face and bravely start anew, that one truly deserves his success. Is not the case well illus- trated in the lives of Columbus, Napoleon, Franklin, Lincoln, and Edison? Columbus had to strive to provide resources for his trip to the Indies, at a time when nearly the whole world refused to trust in him, or believe his theories. Had he given up after his first un- successful attempt to convince someone that the world was round, or to procure financial aid for his explorations, the discovery of the New XYorld would have been much retarded, and the name of Columbus would have been lost to fame. Napoleon Bonaparte illustrates a slightly different phase of the same prob- lem. One can have misfortunes, and, by over- whelming them, win a final success, or one can have slight turns of good fortune and strive either for their repetition or for a grander suc- cess to crown them in the end. Napoleon did not stop and put on a complacently satisfied air the first time fortune smiled at him, but pressed on, until he was sure of an ultimate fame. Franklin and Lincoln typify perserver- ance, and finally successfully carried out ef- forts, not only to be somebody themselves, but to help their country and fellow-men. Edison is the type of the inventor. How zealously do they work and toil before their ideal is satis- fied, and they deem the invention worthy of being given the world! To bring this subject closer home. Who have a better chance of success, and who are gaining sucess more rapidly than the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Ten, who boast the motto, No strife, no victory ? Dur- ing our twelve years of school life have we not striven towards the goal of graduation? Now the goal is reached. NYe are graduated. VVe have enjoyed the pleasures of Commencement. Is this all? Shall we be absolutely satisfied with our present success, and stop there? If so, what were the use of our motto? NVith this, our first success as a stepping-stone, let us aim at higher things and reach ultimate victories in the school of life, in which it takes an infinitely longer period than twelve short years to reach Commencement, and success. Fellow-classmates, remember your mottog and, when disheartened, take heart, strive for your class and your motto, and victory will surely attend your efforts. But now, dear classmates, the parting words must be spoken. Four short years we have traveled together through the enchanted land of books, securing as many treasures as time and talent would permit. Our travels together are o'er. Each of us ninety-four students will pursue a different courseg but wherever we go, or whatever we do. let us always look back on our school life with pleasure and gratitude. IVe cannot bid farewell to our Alma Mater, and sunder the pleasant associations binding us together, without acknowledging the debt of gratitude we owe the teachers for their helpful advice and patient instruction. We thank them for the deep interest they have taken in our welfare. To them we owe largely our preparation for life. To them we owe a debt for moral as well as intellectual training. VVe hope that they will long be spared as zealously to watch over and as patiently to.di- rect the pupils who in future years may be given to their care as they have cared for us.

Everybody about the camp was waiting, almost breathlessly. The very air was crisp and tense. Soldiers talked in undertones and glanced toward the General's tent, expecting- thev knew not what. Dispatches had come that morning which were undoubtedly of se- rious import, for General VVashington had not issued from his room since receiving them. llis decision might hold in the balance the suc- cess of the entire campaign, the freedom of their newly made country, and the safety of their homes. There was good reason, then, to wonder what that decision would be. Camp duties were neglected for the time. Groups of soldiers formed- and then reformed into oth- ers, all with the same theme in their thoughts and conversation. We must do something, and that right quick, insisted one man. Yes, but what? It looks as if we'd do what we can right now, rather than what we want to or even what we must, rejoined another. Others joined in the talk. VVith that river full of floating ice between us and the redcoats, we can't very well do any- thing we'd like to 'em! No, and we can't go south and leave them here, so the only thing we can do is to stick b . X'We must do something. We've got to, in- sisted the first speaker. If the General- But he was interrupted by a call from the General's camp. Altonl The General's voice rang out clear and firm. The thousand and more men gathered around heard it distinctly and looked anxiously after the aide-de-camp as he strode quickly to the building. He entered and saluted. General lVashington spoke calmly and with decision, summing up the situation. The enemy is still at Trenton, having a gay time. VVe have done nothing for weeks. The cause and the country as well as the men de- mand that we act. VVe need their supplies and ammunition, but above all we need a victory. After a pause the stern lines of the General's face relaxed as he questioned, The Delaware is full of ice? It is, General, answered Alton, who had not vet caught the General's plan. 'WVe have but a few old boats, and it would he dangerous crossing? This also came as a half question. Very dangerous, indeed. sir, replied the aide-de-camp slowly, as the full meaning of the question dawned upon him. Almost impos- sible l he added. No, not impossible. XVashington had made his decision and there was no alterna- tive. I have prayerfully considered it and it is the only way. His eyes grew sad as he said, The men have much to risk either way. Ask them if they will go with me tonight across the Delaware to Trenton and to vic- tory! ik ff :if x The waiting soldiers gathered within hear- ing distance of Alton as he stood on the steps of the rude shelter. All the anxiety and un- rest of the past week was written on their faces as they turned, trying to read the nature of the news in his face. He did not keep them in suspense. Soldiers, he said, the redcoats are having an easy time of it over at Trenton. XVe need their supplies and the country is expecting us to do something. XVill we go with General XVashington to-night across the Delaware to Trenton and to victorv? A resounding cheer rose from the men, and reassuring exclamations of Indeed, we will! Go for the Hessianslu and Tell him we're with him l The uproar suddenly quieted as each realized the awful risk of the scheme. Heaviness came upon the hearts of most as thev thought of dear ones. But one young heart was not heavy. for the cloud which had been over it during their en- campment on this side of the river had disap- peared at the words, Trenton and to-night. For Trenton to-night meant ,ludith to-mor- row. Vlfhen the troops had marched south with the Hessians at their heels, he had had high hopes of their making camp near Trenton, and pleasant dreams of a winter spent near his old home and his young sweetheart had filled his mind. But when, after one night's stop, thev took their place across the Delaware, he had nothing but the memory of that one pleas- ant evening to overcome the tantalizing thought of the impassably short distance be- tween them. John Mentor stood as in a daze, thinking of the possible pleasures and not the probable dangers of the expedition. On hearing the cheer, the General came out to appeal personally to each soldier, for he had decided that in such a case it was well tu go beyond his usual reserve and explain the details of his plans to them, for it was their cause as much as his, and their risk more than his. Respectfully the men listened to him while he told them how thankful he was that thev stood by him in this crisisg how much this vic- torv ffor it must be a victoryl would mean to their dear ones and to their countrv: and how he hoped that each one would do his duty I8 THE INTERLUDE quickly and absolutely. for he was sure that the good God would give them victory in this time of need. John Mentor had heard all this, yet other thoughts held sway until he realized that the General was saying, Gates must cross also and attack Count Donope at Burlington and Ewing will cross below and come up to Tren- ton. VVe will go above here and go down into Trenton. Some one must go down to the other camps and bear orders for them. I cannot ask it. XYill some one volunteer? Then John woke up. Quick as a tlash there passed through his brain: l know the coun- try. I am young and strong. The General has trusted me before. I ought to go. lint ludith- Not daring to think or consider longer, he spoke up. T will go, General. The men parted, giving him clear passage to where XVashington stood before his aide-de- camn. Seeing who had snoken, he said, .-Xh, Mentor! now l know the dispatches will reach them. Come with me, my lad. The under otiicers took charge and the men dispersed to break un camn for a rapid march. Soon Mentor had his dispatches and started on foot, for by following the river, he could make quicker time than by roar! on horseback. The snow was deep and a sharp wind was blowing across the river. .Xlthough he soon be- came cold and wearied bv the difficult wad- ing, he forgot it in the pleasing recollections of the f3eneral's last words to him. The Gen- eral had said that he realized Mentor would like to heln rid Trenton of the Hessians, so he might return to Ewing's armv and cross with him after delivering the disnatches to Gates. His neculiar smile whe11 he said this showed that he realized that it was more than intense hatred of the lflessians which made Mentor's face brighten so at this arrangement. This friendly personal interest meant more to the young man than any number of words of praise for his braverv in undertaking the long, cold journey could have meant. , The four miles to Ewing's camp did not seem so long as he had expected and, present- ing his passport, he was soon admitted to the Commander's presence. As Ewing read the dispatches, a look of incredulity spread over his face and he muttered as if it were beyond belief. Cross the Delaware! Cross the Dela- ware! is VVashington crazy? Young man, what does this mean ? Mentor had been warned that he might have to go into details and reassure Ewing. Quick- ly he called attention to the necessity and ended with the reminder, He will cross at nine to-night, and you cross at ten and meet him in Trenton. And those are the Gener- al's orders. Rested and refreshed by the short stop, Mentor started on for the longer walk to Gates's division of the army. Every bay and H every curve in the river was known to him and he struck inland to avoid additional walk- ing. By the time he had covered four of the miles he was numb with cold and exhausted them floundering in deep drifts. Slowly and more slowly he walked and just as it began to seem as though he never could get there, he came in sight of the camp. Pushing on with revived energy, he soon reached the outer sentries and then the Connnandefs house. Gates read the orders with amazement-and, worse, for he sprang from his chair, exclaim- ing, XVhat! ls VX'ashington fool enough to think l'll try to cross to-night? lt can't be done, so there's no use trying. lf Count Don- ope wants to fight me, he can come over here ! Disregarding the bearer of the message, he strode to the door and, with his usual impul- sive action, called in his aide-de-camp and burst forth with, Here are some orders from XYash- ington! XYe are to cross the Delaware to- night and attack Count Donope at llurlington. XYell, what'll we do if we can't? XVithout waiting for any reply, Gates roared, XYe can't. lt is impossible. Orders are or- ders but they don't apply to the impossible. Send a boat out and see if it can cross. lf not, we can't. He left the room abruptly, but the more thoughtful aide-dc-camp sent in hot food and drink for Mentor, who sat in a daze as a com- fortable warmth stole over hin1. He heard the bustle out of doors and knew what the result of the trial was likely to be, since the Com- mander had such assurance as to its failure. Very soon it seemed to him, Gates again burst into the house, blustering, Knew it couldn't be done. Wasliiiigtoii himself can't do it. That Gates would dare to stay on this side when ordered to cross hardly seemed possible to John Mentor, who had come to be greatly trusted on account of his unfailing obedience. VVith unconscious contempt in his voice, he asked, Aren't you going to obey General VVashington's orders ?'! Eor the first time Gates recognized Men- tor's presence. lle said gruffly, lt is impos- sible, man, impossible!', Ewing can't and won't do it and neither will XVashington. He resumed his seat and sat mumbling to himself, The boat went out 50 feet and could hardly get back. Impossible! It was now nearly three in the afternoon and Mentor had rested so that he felt he must start back at once so that he would not miss Ewing. The last words of Gates were still ring- ing in his ears, Does XVashington care more for the favor of the people than for the safety of the soldiers ? The injustice of this remark and the evident jealousy expressed in it stung Mentor to the quick, for he loved and honored XVashington and knew the sincerity of his mo- tives. THE INTERLUDE I9 The outward cold penetrated his heavy coat and, pushing his way against the wind, he began to think of himself. Ile wondered if Iiwing also would call it impossible to cross and if he would yet have to stay on this side while XVashington routed the lclessians, and some one else, perhaps, spent his time with judith. The way did not seem long, for the rushing and confused thoughts kept his mind from his fatigue, the cold, and the darkness which had settled over the white country, making the crunch and roar of the mighty river, as it ground its way by, seem more threatening and awful. Darkness had completely enveloped the world when he saw the faint glitnmer of lights of l2wing's camp, for it was nearly six o'clock. Ile made his way once more to the Com- mander's house to report conditions at the other camps. liwing questioned him closely as to the conditions, supplies, and feeling at tiatcs's camp, ending with the question which Mentor dreaded above all others, for he knew its discouraging purport, Is his wing cross- ing to-night? Receiving a clear statement of Gates's view and decision, Ewing said thoughtfully, XVash- ington is usually over-conservative, but I, also, fear the plan is wild and the orders im- possible to obey. The Commander left the room and Mentor heard him consulting with his under oiiicers in the adjoining room. They were consider- ing whether to obey or not! If they didn't- if they didn? go-like a panic the thought seized him, if they didn't go, he cou1dn't. XYashington would go and he was only nine miles away. Regardless of his fatigue and the darkness and storm which would impede him, his decision was quicklv made. If they didn't go, he would walk back and cross with XYashington. Soon the talking in the other room ceased and liwing reentered the room in which Men- tor was. lle walked across the room and, seating himself with deliberation, he began talking calmly, l think, and my oiiicers agree with me, that it would not be safe crossing to-night. l know l should obey orders, but in this case I think there is sufficient cause to take exception. XYe have 3,000 men to take over in a few old boats. XYashington himself will probably not cross. XYe are not going. .Xngered by this calm disregard of orders. Mentor sprang from his chair, exclaiming, I am going up to cross with Xtashington. lt is nine miles and 1 have three hours. I will carry the word that you are not going to meet him in Trenton. This sudden heat startled the L'ommande1'. but he set himself to help Mentor bundle and fortify himself against the long, cold walk, since he was determined to go. The first few miles were not hard, but he came out on the broad slope along the river to End the stinging wind made sharper by a sleet. As he struggled along against this, he found his little strength leaving him. The drifts seemed continually growing deep- er and the wind constantly growing sharper. lfle kept close to the river for fear he would lose his way. as the sweeping snow bewildered him. Once in a while he found tracks of the great army which had passed in the morning. livery muscle ached, for his tramping that day had exhausted him beyond his realization, but he trudged on, stumbling and pushing his way against the wind. His tired brain and eyes refused to work and one thought kept mo- notonously running through his mind, Tren- ton to-nightg Judith to-morrow! . lt seemed as though he had walked many times the distance and the last mile seemed ten. lint numbed and exhausted, he pushed through the storm to his duty and his de.sire. .X vague fear had come to him that he might miss XYashington and not have a chance to warn him that Ewing and Cates would not support him. Step by step he covered the last mile and sighted a few lights which indicated the pres- ence of the army and the last steps were harder than all the rest of the distance. Finally he reached the sentries and gasped a few words. They. recognized him, and two of them sup- ported him to the Generals presence. XYith compassion and sympathy XVashington lis- tened to the miserable and discouraging report which he managed to tell by jerks. lieforc taking account of this news, he ordered all the comforts and care which the camp afforded to be given Mentor. Then he said, 'fXYe have al- ready been delayed an hour, but we will go soon even if we have to whip the lflessians our- selves. Care for this brave lad and he shall go with us. The fatigue and drowsiness overcame Blen- tor, and he passed into a heavy slumber. When he next came to, he heard the crunch of icc and realized that he was crossing the Dela- ware. I-le murmured to himself, Trenton to- night: Judith to-morrow! l:l,tlRl-INCIC Nl. XVI-Il.IJ, 'lO. 2.2 3 L, J 20 THE INTERLUDE 1 1 THE COMMENCEMENT COMET 1 if I T was all verv nice to be a Freshman, gil, I though you felt rather small. And a Sophomore-well, you skimmed over that state of being very easilv. W'ith the Junior year, you began to buckle down and study Cunder the tutelage of a wise teacher, who lets no one escapel. Tint the Seniors! Why, thought Olive. couldn't one be a Senior the whole four years, instead of having to go through a preparatorv stage? It was so nice to think you knew so much, and to have other people think you did, toog but in three weeks- the thought brought a train of recollections to Olive's mind. This was certainly the night the comet was to be seen, and she must see it. There was no doubt about that, so she quick- ened her step accordingly. Her reason was this. The pupils of San Bourne school had long been 'interested in as- tronomical observations. To encourage this, a benevolent old gentleman in the vicinity had offered a prize for the one who earliest discov- ered the comet. The nature of this prize was unknown, but it was reported to be worth trying for. Each was to hand in the time he or she saw it, and say nothing about it to the rest of the students. Excitement reigned for some time among the ambitious ones. who were all determined to get the reward. Of course there were a few dullards who scofferl at all the proceedings, but it was well-known that those who did so never rose earlier than seven o'clock at the very least. Olive Gould was not one of these latter. As she hurried toward her boarding-house, she re- membered with dismay that three other girls were likewise bent on seeing the comet. lt would take some ingenuity to outwit them. for thev were not easilv conquered or daunted by a slight obstacle. Still she thought it was her due to get that prize. The girls had been together during the four vears of their course. and now Ellen was valedictorian, Flora took a medal. and Maude was famous in athletics. It would be nice to get it, too, just for the sake of the honor, for she had never been as popu- lar as the other girls. Not that she cared for popularity, but still it came only once in a life- time, and she was only human. VVith these thoughts intruding themselves. she entered the house softly, knowing that as it was about eight o'clock, the other girls would be up studying. She would have about an hour for her own work, retire early, and set the alarm clock for two-thirty. She heard whispered comments in the rooms about her, and a bang of the door now and then which indicated that her arrival had been noted. But ignoring these interruptions, she set diligently to work and finished at the prescribed time. As cautiously as possible. she got everything ready for her early morning exit, as she was going to the most advantageous soot in the neighborhood-a vacant lot, where the view to the east was unimpeded by tall buildings or trees of anv sort. A very sleepy girl shut off a slightly muf- fled clock next morning and tumbled into a queer-looking costume. consisting of a blue skirt, red waist, and one shoe of tan, the other black. Groping her wav to the door, she turned the knob and found it was locked from the outside! Again that sofe chuckle down the corridor. That put her on her mettle and she resolved not to be daunted. The window first suggested itself, for there was no time to fuss with doorkevs. Her window opened upon a sloping roof which reached within eight or ten feet of the ground. Tt took but a moment to open the window, slide gentlv downward, and jump to the ground. fShe said afterwards she would not have been surprised to have found a tub of water awaiting herl. VVith great celeritv she set off. and reached the lot not a moment too soon. For as he stood under the shadowy branches of a tree. she saw two or three figures approaching stealthilv from opposite directions and peering cautiously around, each unconscious of the other's pres- ence. It was her turn to chuckle, for each thought the other safelv locked in her room. Now how was she to see the comet without the knowledge of the others? Possiblv the ap- ple tree would serve as a temoorarv observa- tory, but just then her eve caught sight of the church not far distant. The belfrvl Tust the place for, as she was the last to leave the practice, she had the kev in her pocket. A few moments later she was climbing the dustv, winding stairwav to the little tower which overlooked the greater part of the village, or as it preferred being called, the town. To all appearances it was sleeping now, but Olive's sharp eve detected strange figures lurk- ing here and there amid the trees, or a field- glass sparkling in the pale light, as it was di- rected toward the skv in search of the heaven- ly body. Olive laughed softly to herself as she saw what a fine observatorv she had, and placing herself in a comfortable position, she studied the stars intently. She was becoming impatient at the delay of the stranger, when a bright light, outshining Halley's comet. at- tracted her attention. It was a wavering, flick- ering light which spurted up and then died down. Olive watched it, fascinated, until an unusually bright flare brought her to her senses. The old ffentle1nan's house was on fire s ! THE INTERLUDE 21 Two minutes later, in response to a wild clanging of the church bell, out came the V01- unteer liire Department. Where? What? Who? They were all question marks, when a little figure rushed headlong past them, point- ing frantically in the direction of the old gen- tle1nan's house. Madly they raced over the quarter of a mile which separated them from the burning mansion. Bucket brigades were formed by the erstwhile astronomers. Servants tumbled out of the house, followed by the old gentleman in nocturnal habihments, while llll'OLlgll the commotion the figure of the girl could be seen rushing back and forth, saving this and that, and quieting the frightened ones by her cool voice. When it was over, the firemen mopped their brows, while a group of unfortunate astronomers looked in vain toward the east. W here's Olive? asked one. NVhy, l guess I locked her in her room, admitted lflora. I never thought-it was only a joke. Lome, girls, said Maude, we'll go and tell her. She wouldn't have seen it anyhow. The crowd had dispersed, and as they made their way home, it suddenly occurred to Ellen that there certainly had been another girl there. Several others were at the same time wondering, but as no one knew, the girls went on very much crestfallen. Creeping upstairs, they softly opened Olive's door and peeped in. She was sleeping soundly to all intents, though a close observer might have detected a slight quivering of the eyelids. And the girls cau- tiously withdrew. fil Pk Pk Ill Commencement Day was not bright and sun- shiny as all such days should be, but a dark, moody day with overhanging clouds looking as if they were brooding over the events and nod- ding their heads sagely. The graduates were nevertheless enjoying to the fullest extent their last moments together. Even Olive, though she felt keenlv disappointed over the loss of the prize, assumed-a brave and cheerful face. as if she had won two or three scholarships. The teachers, too, were in excellent spirits, though there was an inexplicable air of mys- tery about them, as if there was something nice to tell which they were forbidden. In the hall were numerous admiring friends and rela- tives, each proud of his own particular gradu- ate, and each wondering how one ever man- aged to get through school at all. By ten o'clock everyone was quiet and ex- pectant, until the speaker was announced. He had come from a neighboring city, and was very undeservedly famous. he gave the usual advice to graduates, who were facing this great world for the first time: warned them not to expect too much from it, and ended with a long peroration on the qualities necessary to success, which he analyzed almost to a chemical constituency. When he had finished, the principal of the school arose, and the air of mystery increased on the teachers' faces. With formal courtesy, to the surprise of the assembly, and especially Olive, the old gentle- man was introduced. His speech was on an entirely ditterent line from the other, for he mentioned the delights of this life if you can but discover them, and the fact that rightly- directed ambitions would be fulfilled, though perhaps not in the way you expected. With great skill, he introduced the story of his offer to the school, the hopes of certain students to obtain the prize, their disappointment and his. Then he began to tell of the fire, begin- ning at the very first, of how one of the gradu- ates had so hoped to get the prize that she would have risked much to get it. Olive felt her cheeks burn as he related her escape to the belfry, her inspiration to ring the bell, her bravery and quick action which saved his home, and her modesty which led her to say nothing about it. But she was found out, he concluded, and I think you will all agree, is entitled to some reward for her service, though she did not see the comet. Miss Olive, will you come forward, please. Feeling herself growing hotter every min- ute, Olive stepped forward, to receive a me- dium-sized oblong box. Inside was what looked like a telescope, and Olive was exclaim- ing with delight, when the old gentleman in- terrupted her. Press the spring, he said gently. Olive did so, and unfolded a paper with much writ- ing and many seals on it. I do hereby give and bequeath the - Olive's eye glanced quickly down the sheet. She was heir to all his property! Hardly able to believe her senses, she looked up at her ben- efactor. I am an old man, he said. My house is of no value to me, it has needed some bright human being to cheer it up, since-- his voice broke. Then without one thought of the surroundings, Olive ran and threw her arms impulsively around his neck. LILLTAN MARTIN, '10, Q-4 6-C 9 QQ X X U IIQ' .

He could not understand the reason for this harsh treat- ment when his only offence was to whisper some- thing to the pretty blue-eyed girl who sat in the seat in front of him. And now to be thus hu- miliated in front of her just when he was begin- ning to get a stand-in ! He now stood for a few moments dejectedly in the hall and looked around him bewildered, for this was the first time he had suffered such a humiliation and he did not know what to do. He could not go to the study hall and walk in under the scrutiny of so many curious eyes. He could imagine the the students snickering and whispering to each other as he walked up the aisle to take his seat. The very thought of it caused him to blush for shame and so he crept down the hall on tip-toe, fearing the prying eyes of some teacher. He thought of going home, which reminded him that his hat was in his locker on the second floor. He walked downstairs, and, as he passed the open door of the Assembly, he was greeted by a cool breath of wind. The large, empty room looked so inviting that he could not resist going in. The day was an extremely hot one for that time of the year and the Freshman had a bad case of spring fever as well as the blues, so he thought he would lie down on one of the benches and await the ringing of the bell. Then by mingling with the crowd he could avoid being caught. He threw himself down on one of the seats in the back part of the room and began to ruminate on the misery of a Freshman's life in High School. He had not lain there very long when he heard footsteps coming toward him. lt proved to be Mr. Vvhitenack in company with many prominent personages, among whom he recog- nized Samuel Adams. They were discussing the probability of Mr. Bryan's running for the pres- idency in the next election. The Freshman was very much interested to hear what they would say about it, and in his eagerness he fell off of the seat and hit the floor with a loud crash. He looked around him. The room was empty and Mr. Wlhitenack was nowhere to be seen-but what was that noise in the front part of the room? He peeped out cautiously and in front of the platform saw a group of students gathered, whose actions were the queerest imaginable. A tall, well-built fellow, whom he immediately recognized as a hero of the gridiron, was stand- ing in front of a girl, rubbing his hands and making profuse gestures. He was boasting that his lineage had sprung from the gods and that he would confer a great honor upon her by accepting her in marriage. The girl, whom he had seen leading the singing on the sidelines at the football games, did not see it that way and refused him. A short fellow. who was a stranger to the Freshie, now came in and began knocking on a chair, calling for it to open, saying he brought bad news. He was joined by two girls and, after talking awhile, one of them began to weep, begging for some one to save her husband from the barbarians. A group of fellows .now appeared, among whom he recog- nized the circulator of rlllilf lN'i'ERLuuis and one who had been pointed out to him as the leader of the Socialist party. The pretty girl how be- gan to beg each one in turn to save her dear father , but was refused by each in turn. She then ran out, crying that she would save him herself. At this juncture a short silence ensued and three fellows came in and, throwing themselves down on the floor, began to play craps much to the horror of the Freshman. He noticed that the fellow who always made THIS INTERLUDE an- nouncements was among them. They called for something to drink and one of their companions, who seemed to be very much abused, caught up a few steins and gave them to the players, who seemed to enjoy the beverage immensely. lt did not have a good effect on them however, for they rushed together as though each would tear the otheris throat out. The Breslin was greatly frightened. His hair stood on end, but to his great relief just as the smaller of the combatants picked up a hammer to dash out the brains of his enemy, the school comedian and yellmaster rushed in and separated lll16l'1'l. By this time the Freshman began to realize that he was witnessing a play rehearsal and set- tled himself comfortably to enjoy it. He was not much afraid of being seen for the room was growing rather dark and those in front seemed to be too much interested in themselves to take any notice of him. The maid of the comely countenance was now brought in by a large band of fellows, who called the comedian their chief. She knelt before him and implored him to allow her to ransom her father. After a great deal of confusion the request was granted and the band led off the poor father very roughly amid shouts and laugh- ter. The chief then threw himself down on the floor and demanded that the girl amuse him. She appeared very much frightened at first but soon regained her composure and, as the listening Freshman was quick to notice, the conversation turned to that world-old subject, love. The next act was very exciting. The dice- players did not seem to like the girl whom they THE INT said they had captured and plotted to get rid of. The short fellow who liked to fight, proposed to seize her and sell her as a slave to the lner- ehants of Carthage for arms and armlets tthough what use he could have for such things, the Freshman could not seej. The girl came walking innocently by at just this moment and they seized her and bore her away, screalning at the top of her voice. The large fellow who leads the school in yelling seenled to be destined to be a hero for he calne rushing in, flourishing a broom handle and rushed into the kidnappers, playing havoc with them and killing the smallest of them.

She, however, finally consented to lnarry him, providing he would have his hair cut and live with her people.

The fifth act was now announced and the lov- ers 1'C-C1lt6I'Ctl Zllltl continued their conversatioll. Soon, however, they were joined by a third party whom the girl called father , The way he hugged her and wept on her shoulder was really alarming.

A. STRONG, 1O.. .f... Af AFTER HIGH SCHOOL---WHAT? in pg X S junetime hastens upon us, a host of 1275 W, questions stare every Senior in the EQ face-questions far more puzzling than if we have ever met before, which is say- ing nluch, considering that we have experienced four years of recitations and tests. After High School-what? What do we owe those who have made lligh School possible for us, for what are we best qualified, what do we lnost enjoy, what college is best suited to our needs, what course is the lnost practical? liver since our longings to be washer-women and policemen have' vanished, we have eagerly peered illto the future where we see our hopes, our desires gratified, the goal of our ambitions reached. Perhaps many of you, juniors, like us, have sketched and mapped your career as though it were but a house to plan. But we lnust remember that these questions cannot be answered by mere visionary designs, the doings of the world will not con- form to our lnodels, the passing years only can reveal what lies before us. Next year will find some of us no longer boys and girls but men and women, with their cares, pleasure, and duties. We shall be working, we shall begin to understand what it is to live, our education will continue, not in books but ill ex- perience. All hail the independent girl, the inde- pendent boy! Some of us will leave high school to be our mothers' and fathers' helpers. Per- haps we shall not be so active and conspicuous in the affairs of the day, but our duties will be none the less worthy. All hail the home girl, the home boy! Some of us are looking forward to several more years of preparation in college. A pleasant prospect indeed! For, from the experi- ence of the grown-ups and froln our own knowl- edge, there are 110 days so happy or so profitable as those ill which work and play are so combined as to make the jolly, active schoolboy and girl. But, although our advantages are different, our possibilities are the same. A college education neither makes a 1118.11 a success nor a failure. lsvery lnan lllubt be self-lnade. So let us, using our opportunities as best we can, constantly strive toward that llllllt wlllch can only be approaclled, never reached-the l11111t of our possibilities. lint now as tlle time towards which we have looked so eagerly draws near, we pause, we lalter, we WULA1kl Lltilbly tile now unwelcome hour NVUCII we leave the carefree occupations of youth to assume tue lnore serious tasks of 111611 and WOIHCII.

We are soon to begin work on the telnple of our alnbitlons. Already we have the foundation laid, and strong and reliable that foundation lnust be, for it is largely the work of those who have guided, taught, and encouraged us with never- Ikllllllg interest. Now we lllL1Sl. erect that super- structure NVll1Cl1 shall be as firm as our efforts are earnest, as lofty as our arms are noble, as beautiful as our spirit is pure. Although the plans for that telnple are drawn, we can not de- scribe it until it is finished. VVe lnay not have lnaterial enough. Time lnay change it, the tim- bers we raise lnay be too lofty, the framework lnay totter and fall. But all of us, juniors and Seniors, can answer one question which deter- Il1l11CS whether our telnples shall be the work of conscientious builders or of cowards. Are we going to be cheerful, diligent, earnest, and sincere, whether we ll'l6Cf with dlsappointlneht or encour- agemellt, defeat or victory, whether our 113.11165 be cherislled by ten or ten thousand?

'Please permit me to accompany you to the front of the stage and with you let me make a farewell bow and re- tire. l wish to join hands with you and there under the glow of your years of achievement let my years of service in South llend be lighted up: let me shine by the light reflected from your sublimated spirits. l'erchance, however, in my greed for glory and self-satisfaction l may darkly absorb within all the gleams that come my way, and I may fail to reflect and reflect upon the glory that is yours inherent. Yours is a class that represents the high tide of my efforts. True l entered one year ahead of your flags and standards, but your picket line had already begun scaling the ramparts of the citadel, indeed some of your scouts were al- ready safely ensconced, having entered perhaps like the crafty Ulysses by a wooden or paper- horse, through a breach in the walls. It is true also that your scouts and pickets came in carry- ing another banner than your own, but they be- came your easy and willing captives-like the planet jupiter, your very ponderosity captured the inter-planetary Wanderers. They are no longer hyperbolic. Yours has not been a class to win laurels by dress parade or even by more militant 'aggres- siong it was rather by consistent, patient, day to day effort, that has brought you to the throne rooms. Yours is not a drove of meteors and your career will not be meteoric, the capture theory to the contrary, notwithstanding. Your glow is not the swamp light that comes from fog and quagmire, but rather the flaming forge still roaring with the blast of endeavor. Retiring together as we do, you to further preparation or to duties in response to a calling, and I to inviting fields of labor elsewhere, there very naturally springs up a strong tie of com- radeship. That it gives me very great pleasure to find myself so related to you needs no asser- tion or demonstration. The pride I have always taken in the class, my habit of boasting of your numbers and tenacity of spirit, is known even to the other classes. fn presenting you to the Board of Education for the official stamp of approval. I shall find peculiar pleasure and satisfaction, but it will not all be happiness. To a school man, the perennial harvest of the finished product of his labor and care, is not a time for rejoicing or for vain glory. No other event of the year, whether public or private, ap- proaches to it in significance or solemnity. Breaking school ties, next to breaking home ties. is a process full of the agony of spirit, and for the schoolmaster at least. the feeling overflows into the cup of despondency. Something goes out of his life with each succeeding class which leaves the gallery of his gods full of vacant ped- estals. The school relations are more than intel- lectual compacts and the business of the school more than mental pyroteclmics or routine drill. The whole student is in school and he brings his foibles, his temper, and his distemper with him when he comes. llc comes with text-books un- der his arm, notions in his head, and not a few tendencies to do something or nothing or some- body. Witliotit realizing it he is very largely a self determiner from the start. This fact presents to the schoolman his hard- est problems, his highest duty, and his most dis- heartening limitations. The student is so far removed from life's battles in his future that the forward view takes no steady hold upon his pur- poses. ln stopping to play tag-you're iti' the vision fades into thin air- but boys will be boys. Bless them and let them live in lloyville where grass is tough enough to step on. llut the tournament must have'an ending and space must be cleared for the fray in real life. Since it is the complete purpose of the school to bring the student into a full realization of his powers, and since it is the hrst duty of the school- man to bring life, its duties, its offerings, and its appeals into a vital touch with the student, it is plain that the commencement season for him is full of doubts and fears. Sins of omission, and possibilities only partly realized press upon him and leave him stranded among his misgivings. The doubts, fears, and misgivings do not arise from any depreciation of the class members nor from the school system, but entirely from the realization on the part of the schoolman that the possibilities of the class are infinite and that his own power to help is so finite and so very lmman. Class of 1910--and students all--may Heav- 3 cns richest blessings shower down upon you in never ceasing torrents. Valedzro. INTERLU DE STAFF 1909-10 anager siness M SEYBOLD Ass'l B EDGAR PRICE.

XYe will not say that fate had ordained that we should win the meet, hut our athletes were evidently determined that we should, so we did. Some have hinted that it was very in- hospitable of us to monopolize such a major- ity of the points, hut ottr past record warned our visitors, so we don't take much blame on that score. Wle were Njust tickled to death to get tirst place and also lo have the gold medal winner from our school, and a rectard-breaker or two on the team. Our athletes need not feel hadly that they did not hear more systematic yelling from S. li. supporters. Their interest was so centered in those contesting that they had little titne to root. The team did nohly, and those on the bleachers were there with the interest if not with the noise. THE INTERLUDE 5l In the evening our orator, orated himself into second place. and everybody wondered what a wonder of a man it was that took first. A very satisfactory day that, for South Bend! And as the majority of our athletes are not to be graduated this year, there is no known reason why that success should not be marked to be continued ! The Seniors will be much missed next year fat least, thev hope soj. But there is one alive- year man who is leaving, whose departure will make more change than the loss of the Seniors, and whose bright face will be much more missed than any Senior's. Mr. Neff has resigned his position as principal of the South Bend I-ligh School and accepted a similar po- sition at Richmond, Ind. Mr. Sims, who has been principal of the High School of Kenil- worth, Ill., will be Mr. Neffls successor. Mr. Neff has carried on our school during its period of swift growth and necessarily difficult readjustment with ease, and has wrought many changes to make ours the up- to-date Iligh School it now is. XYe bid him farewell with our earnest wish for his contin- ued success and happiness. .. ...

Think of the fine speeches we have had this year from various men concerning the money value, the social value, and the intellectual value of a High School course. Then take the Se- niors' advice and, Don't leave school until you're graduated. This number forms the conclusion of what we feel has been a successful and satisfactory year of the Interlude's publication. The edi- tor wishes to thank the staff for their support which has been so promptly and freely given. Each member has worked well and the interest has told in the paper which has been put out. There have been others, besides the con- tributors, who have been silent yet earnest workers for our school paper and we thank them every one. The staff extends most sincere thanks to Miss Brownfield, the power behind, who, by her faithful co-operation and super- vision, has upheld the literary merit of the paper and promoted its success. Mr. Kizer's aid in business matters has also greatly added to the success of the paver. We have especial- ly appreciated Floyd Striebel's work in bright- ening various numbers with new cover de- signs and cuts for the heads of departments. We are grateful to all who have helped us by support or contributions, We congratulate the school on the staff that has been chosen to manage next year's INTER- LUDE. With Inez Haeske and Myrtle Ham as editors of the paper and Turrill Shontz and Ralph Keltner attending to the business, the suc- cess of next year's publication is assured. Grace Hootman will be fine for Class Editor, as will Ruth Goewey for the Exchange department, and Smith Boswell is sure to give sporty reports. Harold Warner we expect will raise the circula- tion till an assistant will have to be provided. No further word is needed. They have shown their abilities and will use and add to them next year, we are sure. ,gi gg. Ill ll lfl II 0 ll ee lr :: Zmlnlii ..

XYell, we have turned the trick at last, and South liend lligh is the proud possessor of the shield, which is won when the best track team in Northern lndiana lands first place. :Xnd the championship trophy certainly went to the best team this year, a team which cannot be beaten for all-around ability, seven of the nine men on the team securing at least one place, and the othet two performing' in better style than ever l.efore. Records were broken, good time made in nearly all the events, and all in all, one of the best meets of years was held on Cartier's lfield, May 14, when ten Northern Indiana schools men in the annual Big Meet. Kirby of South llend smashed the tirst high mark when he hurled the discuss 10? feet, G inches, bet- tering Youngs record, made in 15708, by two inches. Not long after another South fiend man bettered an old record, the high hurdles going to lioner of South ltend in 1152-5 sec- onds, 2-5 seconds better than Flliot's record time. The third event in which the record was broken was the high jump, Stinchtield of Val- paraiso going' 5 feet, 8 inches, 4 inches better than the former record made in 1905. Kirby was tied for second, his limit being 5 feet, 7 inches, which would have set a new record if Mike had taken the first place. Kennedy set llammond a new mark in the 220-yard hurdles, taking' the low sticks in 27 2-5 sec- onds. lloner, a tan and blue man, was leading by a fraction of a stride at the next to the last hurdle when Kennedy evened up, and came in the winner on the last stretch. So it can be seen if South llend could not set all the new marks, her men were found to be good sec- onds. The llenders had no chance in the shorter dashes, but one point being trained in these events, Kirby placing third in the century dash. Felton of Valparaiso was the winner of both the 100-yard dash and the 1-8 mile sprint, taking the former in the verv fair time of 10 3-5 seconds, and the later in 231-5. His preliminary in the 220 he ran in 22 3-5, but slowed un in the finals. turipe furnished the sensational portion of 17' -1 1 - - Ziff N Q M I Wi' ffjilgi-iii 'A x 1,62 :V SL? f K 4 6:7474 f 1 X : :E we E - , - , A - 'E 3 ' -1 v aa it il: QA l' i i if .-.if .p1 'jr'af..g ii S -f '- ,I , A-tx X y ,, N 0 Xl ff E7 ' tj ,nf QYZ' f r ibiza tg -my ,i. ,-T ,ps-A 5 TG-E?-'L' 5 ,,,.c I t A L X. 3 gl I S is lm f 'T' 4 ll P A ' A the meet by his hair-raising spurts in the quar- lu ln tht lltb ter-mile dash and the re: '. t .

If half the events were run off in the morning, and the others in the afternoon, he would take nearly all the first places. Captain Rowe certainly turned out a dandy team, and deserved to win. He had a man for every event, and a good one, too, and the all- around ability of the team brought the meet home to South Bend. Rowe merits great cred- it, as he spent much time and hard work on the track team, sacrificing excellent chances to make the ball team for the purpose of doing his duty as captain of the cinder path men. A preliminary meet between Elkhart, Go- shen, and South Bend at Goshen was held about two weeks before the Big Meet, which was won easily bv South Bend. In this meet Kirby ran the high hurdles in 16 2-5 seconds, 2-5 of a second better time than the record set by Honer, May 14. Goodwin took the 440-yd. dash in 5-7 seconds, 3-5 seconds better than the time in the Big Meet 440-yd. event. Kirby also threw the discus farther than in the N. I. Meet, but this and the high hurdle record do not stand. Summary: 100-yd. Dash.--Hauenstein. Elkhart, first, Kirby, Bend, second, Frankenstein, Goshen, third. Time, 0:11.

On the morning of April 30, the South Bend baseball team journeyed to LaPorte, Indiana, for two games, the first being played with In- terlaken School in the morning. South Bend secured 12 hits, several of them bunts, but could only force two runs over. Interlaken was unable to hit Cassidy, and there is the story of her downfall, for, with her several hits, she was not dangerous at any point of the contest. In the first inning Carson's two-bagger, with two gone, went to waste, Cripe flying out-to third, and Kirby failed to score in the second when he hit with one man out, going out, Ben- net to Hardcastle. But in the fourth, Kirby again led off with a hit, and tallied on Wolfe's hit, after stealing second. The second and last tally came in the following frame. Carson hit to right, stole second and third as Clemens breezed, and crossed the plate when Mike hit for two bases. This ended the scoring for both sides, Inter- laken failing to prove dangerous at any stage of the game. The score follows: soU'rH BEND A. B. R. H. P. o. A. 15.

Kirby certainly connected with the sphere to the taste, not a queen's taste, of a lover of hard hitting. Four hits out of four times at bat. Clemens played a nice game at first, as did Carson at third, despite his two boots The fellows ate the noon meal at Interlaken. Why did Cassidy laugh just before grub? .Xsk him, -- The team was divided into two bunches, each having a table to themselves, and each division had a champion big eater, Vtfhitaker taking the honors at one table, Clemens at the other. Clemens has the best chance if the two should ever meet in a contest, but you can never tell what these little fellows can do to make up for their lack of size. It is reported that Doc Boswell led Berkey away, away from the straight and narrow, and also that the other Benders tried to follow, but the a-way was a get-a-way and Doc', and Kenneth eluded them-but that was after the i- Larokrrz, L15 soUTH BEND, L33 GAME. On the same afternoon of the day of the second defeat of Interlaken, South Bend met LaPorte High on the same diamond. Edgren was in the box for the llenders, and pitched a good game, except that he lost his head in the second inning, attempting to catch Droll- inger on the plate when two were down, in- stead of throwing the batter out at first, two runs resulting. - And South Bend did not get these back until the sixth, when two runs were sgueezed over tas some of the fellows remembered for several daysj. Carson opened this frame by fanning. Clemens hit to Stephenson, who boot- ed, and Rube reached first safely. Cripe hunted him down to second, and Kirby got a life on Stephenson's second error, Clemens scoring on this play, and Kirby following a mo- ment later, after he had stolen second and third, on Drollinger's error. VVolf hit to right, but was caught off first. LaPorte tallied her two in the second. Droll- inger hit to right and went to second when Kirby dropped the third strike on Christie, the latter being thrown out at first. Anderson grounded out to Carson, and Bortz hit to Ed- gren. Edgren attempted to run Drollinger down and missed him. Bortz started for sec- ond, and Pauly threw far into center field. In the meantime Whitaker had come into the infield, and centerfield was unguarded, enabling Bortz to complete the circuit. Kitt Hew out to Cripe. T E R L U D E The score: sourln BEND A. H. R. H.

Umpire, Hadley. Time of game, 1:45. Cassidy was the pepper kid around the third base coaching line, and claimed after the game that he was the one that brought the base-runne'rs home-by his excellent coaching -but the rest of the team maintain that the squeeze play was the cause of these runs being scored in the sixth. Cassidy did pull off one on the umpire, though. He was sent in to bat for Cordier in the ninth, and on the first ball pitched made a bitching step toward the pitcher, and caused Napoleon to make what would constitute a balk if there was a man on base, but Cassidy dropped his bat, anyway, and started for first, and the umpire waved him to the initial sack. Of course, it is a Well-known fact in the South Bend High that Mr. Rittinger, the prin- cipal of the LaPorte High, has been for sev- eral years an instructor in the local high and also manager of the baseball team. In 1908 the same Cripe who is playing with the tan and blue this season, took care of the left gar- den for South Bend and was noted for his heavy hitting. Now, Mr. Rittinger used to offer a bag of candy for every three-bagger and homerun made by anv of the locals, and Cripe was in the habit of picking off one of these long drives every other game. Last year he was not in the game and the day of the LaPorte game was the first time Mr. Rittinger had seen Cripe play since 1908. Ruby hasn't been hitting this year, and down at LaPorte was swinging like a gate, and this tickled Mr. Rittinger for he remembered those long hits of the old daysg so he accosted Mr. Cripe, after the latter had taken three hearty swings at the 464 BASKETBALL TEANI. 1909-1910.

' A-a-h, just wait 'till I get the old battin' eye back, kid, and I'll show you, growled Ruby, and the star fielder is still longing to show his old manager that he has gotten back into the old form, but to date would not be able to do so. 1- SOUTH nrixn, 4: NA:'rAN1-in HIGH, 5. Clilay 71. South llend lost the fifth game of the sea- son when they travelled to Nappanee, May 7, this being the first contest lost to an Indiana lligh school in three years. The game was played in the rain, and was South Bend's game up to the 9th, when Nappanee ran in two runs. The Benders claim that they were rob- bed by the umpire, not purposely, perhaps, but just because the umpire did not know anything about the game: and his decisions against the locals proved to be more costly than those against the home team Qnaturally, being a home man himselfj. At the present writing they are expecting to wipe out this defeat by a good beating on the local grounds. Cassidy pitched a good game despite the weather, which handicapped him a great deal as he is wild at any time, allowing but six hits and striking out seven. Hupp played four in- nings in right field and showed up well, get- ting one hit, one put out, and no errors. The score: i- soU'rH BEND A. B. R. H. 11. n. A. E.

In an errorfest, South Bend barely defeated TERLUDE the visiting LaPo1'te High at Notre Dame the morning of the track meet, each side making six errors. Carson bobbled three easy ones and then stabbed the hard chance he had eas- ily and got his man. Clemens offended twice, and Boswell once. For LaPorte Drollinger, the chesty twirler, took honors with three misplays, while Kretjci took the silver medal with two. Boswell led the hitters with three: NVhit- aker, Carson, Clemens, Cripe, Hupp, and Cas- sidy taking two each. The Benders had 16 hits, but struck out 17 times. NVhen they didn't strike out, a hit was made or a LaPorte man watched the ball roll through or against his legs. Score by innings: 123456789-R.H.E.

The fellows played together pretty well the first two games with Interlaken and Plymouths, respectively, but in the last four games their playing has been very loose, not so much in the field as on the bases, hits enough being made in some of the games to bring at least ten runs, and but three or four resulting in fact. Captain NVhitaker leads the hitters with an average of .408 in six games and Kirby is sec- ond, with .389 in Eve games. Cassidy, Whit- aker, and Cripe all have perfect fielding aver- ages. YVhitaker leads in stolen bases, while he and Boswell are tied for passes to first, each getting four. Cripe, thus far, is the only one to make a sacrifice hit, having three to his credit. VVhitaker also leads in the run depart- ment, and has credit for the largest number of hits. Hupp is batting .500 to date, but has only played in two games.

It is proud to scatter among many col- leges and a variety of occupations, representa- tives who will do the High School much cred- ITL. XVe have been able to glean a few facts about the futures of some Seniors, who have kindly consented that these facts be published. Some members of 1011 have been heard to express regret at seeing the Seniors leave High School. These will be glad, therefore, to hear that there will be some post-grads next term to remind them of the finished productsn of 1910. Among those who contemplate re-en- tering next fall may be numbered Florence Cregier and Ada Collmer. The latter expects to enter VVellesley year after next. Chancellor Moschell and Ambrose Strong will be employed by local firms, the former by Geo. J. Hoffman Co., General Contractors and lluilders, with whom he expects to remain un- til building season is over, the latter by Stu- debaker Ilros. Everett Carr, otherwise known as Preach- er, will publish his talks,' in the South Bend News, taking up journalistic work with that paper. A number of the class wishing to teach will enter Normal for the twelve weeks' course. The following will go to VVinona: Florence XVeld, Mvrtle McCorriston, Alfreda XVinkler, Ethel Olson, Blanche Thompson, Irene John- son, Edna Reed, Esther Jacobson, and Earl Price. lilinor XVolf will go to Terre Haute. Gerald Steis will enter Notre Dame in the fall. l'oor Gerald will miss the advantages of coeducationf' Frances Hungerford will be lost not only to the High School but also to South liend, for shortly after Commencement she will remove to Kalamazoo. In the fall, she will take up at the Normal there, a two-years Kindergar- ten course. All her friends regret her depam- ture sincerely. Victor Paxson has practically decided to en- ter Indiana l'niversity, while Phil Ciralski fa- vors Chicago. Ingomar will grace the halls of De Pauw next winter. Jeanette Mack bade it be said simply that she is undecided tShe seems to be so in va- rious mattersl A sad state of indecision seems to exist in a great number of the class, for I do not know, as yet, where I shall go, or what I shall do, is a frequent answer to queries along that line. ll is easily guessed that many of the young ladies of the class will take courses in do- mestic sciencef' and home rule in local in- stitutions. It is not quite so easy to hazard guesses at what tl1e boys may do. Perhaps they, too, might take courses in home rule advantageously. From present appearances the Class of 1910 will scatter quickly and widely, for even in the list'given above no two are going to the same college. It is only to be hoped now that we shall not be so widely separated that we can- not have a majority reunionf' Ilow dreadful it seems to speak of reunions and not class meetings! Nine ,rahs for the Junior class! On the even- ing of May 20 the Juniors entertained the Sen- iors at the annual banquet in American Hall. The guests paid their respects to that noble body in the receiving line, and drifted into the ball- room, there to shake hands with the faculty and students whom they hadu't seen since the after- noon of the same day. The ball-room proper was one garden of daisies. Festoons from the ceiling, masses in every nook, made things look so realistic that you could almost smell the pleas- ing fragrance of the Brown-eyed Susans. In due course of time after all the gowns had been favorably or unfavorably commented upon. the guests repaired to the banquet hall where the daisies were again very evident. The tables were beautifully decorated with mounds of the fiower scheme that had been manifested in the ball-room. After all the eatables in sight had been de- molished, toasts were responded to with Allen Hack acting as toastmaster. The toasts were very entertaining and caused much favorable comment and fun. At the conclusion of the toasts dancing was enjoyed in the dance hall until a late hour. The banquet marks the closing event of the mixing of the Junior and Senior classes in such a way, and it was an event of which the Juniors may well feel proud. VVe, the Senior class. thank the Junior class for their splendid hospitality in so ably enter- taining us. Alumni Banquet. Mr. DuShane, President of the Alumni As- sociation, announced at the Senior Meeting on May 10. the Alumni Banquet to be given on June 3rd in honor of the graduates. lfe ex- tended a hearty invitation to the class and kindly gave us the privilege of making sug- gestions and of choosing, if we desired to do so, speakers from within the class. The ban- quet will be held at the Oliver Hotel. VVe wish here to thank the Alumni Association. Faculty Picnic. 'By the time this last number of the Inter- lude is published, the class will have enjoyed the Faculty picnic at the Y. M. C. A. camp. The picnic will be given on Friday, the twenty- ji THE INTERLUDE 55 seventh, from three till seven o'clock. f The Seniors were delighted when Mrs. Da- kin, in the name of Superintendent Wood and the Faculty, extended to them this invitation. Mr. Neff was heard to remark that several of the class would become posts next year. Uust so they are not stickslj In discussing llalley's comet in class the other day, a discussion arose as to the position and appearance of the moon. This discussion proved interesting, indeed, worthy of reproduc- tion. Phil C.- 1 saw the moon, Mr. Neff, and it had a ring around it. Gerald H.- So did I, Mr. Neff. Mr. Neff.- Was it a full moon? Phil C.- Yes. Mr. Neff- What time? Phil C.-Qrather embarrassedl- Between twelve and one. Mr. Neff- That couldn't be. There is no full moon at that time. Roy L.- That's right, Mr. Neff, I saw it at the same time, and there was no moon at all. All the classes and the Class Editor wish to thank the reporters for their faithful services throughout the year. The reporter's is a thankless task usually. j UNIOR NOTES. The remark has often been made that antici- pation is better than reality , but it may safely be said that in one instance at least the remark is not true for the juniors say unanimously, that the reality, otherwise the banquet, exceeded all anticipations. On Friday evening April fifteenth, the Seniors were hosts in American Hall to a hundred and twenty-five guests-juniors, Faculty, and School- Board. The hall, dining-hall, and banquet tables were decorated in maroon and gold, our class colors. The decorations were very effective, and everything looked juniorfied . The Senior President, Mr. Moschell, acted as toastmaster. Some very clever and witty toasts followed. Superintendent Wood's speech on Anticipation was a treat we certainly did l10t anticipate. Elinor Wolf in Where Cupid: Darts Have Struck , sent some very barbed darts flying towards a few of our classmates. Turrill Shontz handled his subject, The Fair Sex , most capably and showed a thorough knowledge of his theme. Allen Hack's talk on Science in Every Day Life was very enlighten- ing. Mildred Lambert in After High School- What P gave a full realization of the puzzling questions confronting a Senior. Mark Duncan spoke very entertainingly on The Return of Halley's Comet , and applied his subject to the Senior class in an able manner. After the toasts the guests adjourned to the other hall, and spent the rest of the evening in dancing. Every Junior present certainly had a good time, thanks to the hospitality of the Seniors. XVe bid you God-speed, Seniors, in the new life that you are entering upon. ln a way We are sorry to see you go, but we are eager for the struggle in which you have so successfully en- gaged. So, although we are sorry to have you leave, yet we congratulate you and wish you well. FROM JUNIOR MEETING. One of the closing events of the junior year will be the junior hayride and roast to be held on the twenty-eighth of May. It will be a fit- ting close to the jolly junior year, for the juniors have earned a reputation because of their hay- rides.

Well, even if we can't have our Fancy-Dress party, the faculty knows that there is such a thing as a Sophomore class. That's a sure thing, be- cause just as we were about to start something we met with great opposition from a firm by the name of N. 81 VV. Co. As soon as this company heard of our plans, they summoned our ofhcers and committeemen into their private office, and then there was some tall talking done. But after both of the heads of this Hrm had put us wisel' to some very striking points, it was unanimously decided to wait to have our social functions until next year, when we shall all QPPPFJ be juniors. CLASS COLORS CHOSEN. After a great deal of discussion, etc., etc., the class decided upon Gold and Black as the class colors. Now that these colors have been chosen, let's not be afraid to show them. We certainly ought not to be ashamed of our showing in the N. I. Track Meet, for Hovey Dodge took third honors in the mile and set the pace in the half-mile for Mosiman. Cripe won second place in the quarter-mile and ran a re- markable lap in the relay. Stephenson and Zig- ler both did very well in the pole vault. They tied for fourth place and next year both will un- doubtedly get places in this event. This will give monograms to Cripe and Dodge. The former, however, already had earned one. 66 THE INTERLUDE The Sophomore class in English had a great treat, when Miss Ilerkey recited the last chapter of The Tale of Two Cities to them. 'Carton's sacrifice is appreciated by the class more than ever, since they have heard a talented interpre- tation. This from our worthy President: l wish the Sophs would please be alittle more loyal than in the past and turn out in a large body and come to the meetings. There ought to be at least half the class pres- ent. There are over two hundred in the class. while only about thirty attend the meetings. All Sophs. please be at the rest of the meetings or else there will be NO meetings. l'R1ss. just to show our President that we are all loyal, let's all attend the next meeting.

It is strongly suspected, but not proved, that her demise was caused by the effects of en- deavoring to compose the Freshman notes for the last, or June number, of the aforesaid INTER- LUDE, from the fragments of a by-gone Fresh- man joke. It was also learned that in her will she left the Freshman column of THE INTER- LUDE to the class of 1914. liL'til,USSlAN NOTES. .Xs the events of another year are about to be added to the chronicles of the society, I wish. in closing my only too brief administration to give a few words of comment and exhortation. I cannot but feel that the past year has been a prosperous one. Every' year has been a suc- cessful one for our society, notwithstanding that we have met with adversities now and then. But we have not lost by them. They have merely been experiences by which we have been able to aspire higher and at length see the faint glow of our aspirations brighten into realities. Euglossians, keep up the splendid work. lf you will support the administrations of the future as well as you have this one, you will have done your duty faithfully, and the results of your ef- forts must and will show. Remember always that diligence and perseverance must accompany skill, when attainment is desired. March first, next, will mark the close of a pe- riod of forty years through which the society has lived and prospered. Let next year cap the cli- max of an epoch that will be recorded in the history of the school. llut keep in mind that this can be brought about only by a continuation of that spirit of loyalty that has always predomi- nated in our society. I have learned to love the society more during the past year than at any time previous, and I shall continue to love it more and more fervently in years to come. 1 want you all to have this same growing love for our society. Let it not be said of any member, when we depart from school, He was a Euglossianf' for we are lin- glossians now and shall be always! CIIANCELLOR F. NIOSCIIELL, Pres. CLISOSOPHIC NUTES. In summing up the events of the year I find that our inactivities are more than conspicuous. However, it is not entirely our fault that we have been so silent. At least we have tried to make things interesting for the Eugos. The inter-so- ciety debate which was arranged at our sug- gestion never came off. VVhy? Ask the Eugos. They will probably tell you how they struggled with several of their members to persuade them to enter the debate but without success. Then, to continue, we challenged them to a series of basket-ball games. VVe were answered by an oppressive silence more than eloquent. Our efforts within the society, I believe, were in the right directions also. The debates which we held at our meetings showed considerable talent, which, if cultivated, would prove valuable to the society. Now what do I see for the future,-just this- that the artificial interest created from year to year will fail in the end because we have failed to find the root of the trouble. Compulsory THE INTERLUDE 67 membership is the real weakness and other weak- nesses have developed as a consequence. Make the membership voluntary. Establish a depart- ment of public speaking as part of our elective credit system: this with the aid of the faculty to stimulate interest in subjects which constitute the very essence of the organizations, and to encour- age literary work in the future. as much as they have promoted athletics in the past, and we shall soon have two societies as flourishing as their founders could have hoped for. One other weak- ness is that the interests of the individuals within these societies are so diversified because of the difference in ages. size, and general descriptions that a common interest of most intense sort is necessary for their co-operation. .Xs this is lack- ing, the next best thing is to divide each societyg e. g., put the Freshmen and Sophomores into one division and the Juniors and Seniors into an- other. I believe if these remedies were employed that we should see a wonderful change during another year. I hope to see the societies continue as long as the high school exists. See to it, mem- bers of the South Bend High, that these valuable institutions that we have are kept up to the standard set in former years. See to it that our school does not lag behind others. .-Xnd in accom- plishing this aim you will be adding substantially to the sum total of the assets of every individual within our walls. llolmcl-1 W. .Xs1RE, Pres. .Xl.l'KlNI NOTES. .Xt a meeting of the Alumni, held in the latter part of April, the following officers were elected: President-Donald DuShane, '02.
