I've got all of his advantages, to be sure, with a lot of brand new ideas. My origin came from a Mr. Arthur P. Smith who was Central Junior High's first printing instructor and who is now in Mount Clemens High School. He claims me as his child and as a proper foster father should be, is always interested in my welfare. The ancestors of me were all famous in their day, and it is up to me to keep up the family reputation. Our family motto always was, Offwith the old and on with the new. That's why our covers are always of a different color, and our designs are perpetually changing. My great grandfather, Reflector I, had the shades of our coat of arms on the cover, brown and cream as many of my steadfast friends will recollect. Then my grandfather Reflector II, came 1nto being adorned in gaudy garments, a pastime with him, consequently a purple cover Just suited him. Preceding me and following my grandfather is naturally my father. He re- ceived more attention than any of his predeces- sors by donning a yellow uniform upon which a picture of the school we all attend, the C. J. H. S. is printed. I personally maintain, however, that I am the best ever. A grey cover proves that I have ex- cellent taste and it also behooves me to say that the big C I am proud to wear represents Central and not the marks that students com- monly get in scholarship or citizenship. Can you beat it? Popularity toward me is increasing by leaps and bounds, so fast, in fact that I keep every- one hopping to obtain enough material to sat- isfy admirers. The principal reason for my increasing popularity is thatpupils have finally realized that I am a paper, of the students by the students, and for the students. I have a great deal of creative work, my monthly column Hmfith the Poets being one of the most not- a e. The cost of me is comparatively small now, and my smaller monthly relations are distributed free. The same would be done with me, but the pictures and engravings which I contain cost a great deal of money and the twenty-five cents each one pays helps to defray my cost and the remaining amount is supplied by the shows given in the Auditorium regularly. As you have no doubt noticed, the Refiector family has never been cheapened by advertis- ing, a distinct advantage over many of my numerous neighbors, who must resort to this 8 means in order to make themselves a paying proposition. Of course there are play and sports advertising but we make nothing Whatever from the actual ad itself. In turning over my pages slowly, you note that I am dedicated to Miss Jessie Loomis, then follow some of the higher ups together with the imposing views of the faculty and various student gatherings. Many years from now you may be showing antiques to your grandchildren when you run across me and you proudly point to your old chums remarking, See, Susie, there's Tommy Jones, the star first baseman of the Yankees. I can remember the day when he muffed every ball that came his way. It's almost time for my vacation, and I be- lieve I'll take it when you students do, so that you won't miss me, and I will be always on deck to serve you. When you fellows are out camping, touring, tenting or whatever you do, I will be recuperating in the bottom drawer of somebody's desk or possibly exchanged with the paper of some other school. But that has never worried us in the least, as we are all broad minded and realize how much more we shall be worth when dug out by little sonny in one of his mischievious moods. Or if I come into my own at another school, I do not only in- crease my own education but give my friends in far off states hints for developing their liter- ature. I shall hope to meet you all again next year, Knot the 9A's of course, for I could not be so cruel hearted as to wish anyone to stay behind six months for my special benefit but those lower than the aforesaid grade and the 7B's who will enter in a few months. Soon I must say good-bye as the sa-sigh- a-tee say it, so long as the most of us bid fare- well, au revoir similarly to the French, and ta ta the Way I am led to believe that it is said in parts of Europe. The next time that we meet again, we will both be at least two months older and you'll be well mosquito bitten and sunburned. The policyof those backing me is to have a bigger and better paper, and any stories, fishy or otherwise are always welcome. If, perchance, you experience extraordinary occurrences dur- ing vacation, hand them in immediately to some one of the advisors and if it is a good composi- tion you will have it printed. It not only gives you a good reputation and plenty of practice in essay and story writing, it also raises your mark in English and gives your English teacher a great deal less to worry about, besides think of the glory of seeing your name in print.

As a result of all this the Reflector Reportors' Club was organized. It assembles once each week in room 201 at clearing hour and is sponsored by Miss Flanders, an English teacher who naturally is very capable of carrying on such work. Although meeting only once each week, its members write and submit articles for publication every day, Occasionally the same topic is given to more than one pupil and as each tries to have the best article, essays of a very high quality are consequently obtained. VVhen miscellaneous write-ups are given to reporters, an endeavor is made to give one in which they are well versed. An article on the Band would of course not be given to one who knew nothing about music, any more than a person would be given Dr, Zola's Magic who had not visited the Fun Festival. The Club's motto is: A bigger and better Reflector, and with this end in mind. the club has prospered. There is a different reporter for every activity and topicg one for jokes, chapel, band, clubs-all activities are covered. The club not only lives up to its motto Cwe at one time had so much material that it all could not be printed in one issuel but gives its mem- bers good practical experience in writing which may prove beneficial in later years, makes them better known and in many instances has raised English marks. If there is ever any doubt in your mind as to which club to join and you are a good Writer, don't hesitate a second but join our good old Re- flector Reporters' Club! It'll do us all good and pep up the school spirit which seems to be slack- ing a bit of late. John R. Banister Girls' Business Club HE meeting of the Girls' Business Club on April 12,was very interesting. The speaker was Mr. Monday, superintendent of the Tanner Store. His speech was on Success There isn't anything in life that succeeds like success. You are your own success. The brain is a wonderful mechanism which makes up your success. I Things that make you what you are, are the brains. ' Right thinking is important. We should have a purpose and an aim in life and also a will to do things. There isn't anything that will take the place of work. In order to reach success you must wait and not get tired of waiting. We may be looking forward to success, but do not look at it now in that way but am I successful now? This is your opportunity. Our will is just as important to us as the compass is to the boat. We steer for ourselves our own course in life and we can arrive at our destination as we will. Life is full of impulses and power and it will never be greater than it is this very day. The brain is a power of suggestion Where one thought is interlinked with another as in a chain. Henry Ford said: If anybody wants to work hard he can duplicate my success. The talk was enjoyed by all .and we hope to hear him again. Ruth Hofmeister L?

The Library Hour NCE a week our 7A reading class had what we call the Library Hour. The purpose of this hour has been to get ac- quainted with many of our living American poets and others who have done great work in poetry. Here you will find a list of poets and a comment on each one. It has all been very enjoyable and interesting. Nathalia Crane. Known by her ability to write poems at such a young age. Many of her poems have much mirth, such as the Janitor's Boyf' Roger Jones, and What Every Girl Knows. Hilda Conklingf' Her poems do not rhyme, but always express a beautiful idea which is stated in a beautiful way and which are fanciful and fantastic. L. A. Daly. His poems are Written in dialect, which makes them very interesting. They are usually based on human nature and are humorous. p Oliver' Herford. His poems attract atten- tion because of the way he transforms and puts life into fiowers, trees, and hills, and other things in nature. Many beautiful cartoons are found in Ladies, Home Journal which are made by him. Joyce Kilmer. His poems are mostly imag- inative. One of his best beloved peoms is'iTrees. Robert Louis Stevenson. He is famous for his book of poems, A Child's Garden of Verses. His peoms tell about both little folks and big folks. James W. Riley. Most of his peoms are about the farm children and their experiences. Edna St. Vincent Millay is called the woman of the hour because of her many famous poems and her recent opera. The Pear Tree and God's World are some very beauti- ful poems which we have learned. Elizabeth M. Roberts has recently pub- lished her first book called The Time of Manf' it is a great success and a great book so the critics sav. We learned two short poems of hers, Mumps and Mr. Wells. Sidney Lanier. A famous southern Ameri- can poet, the author of The Tournament which we committed to memory. Florence Terwilliger and Betty Qualman Grade 9A. 0 i it O 45.

Berluti's history class had the pleas- ure of listening to Verdia Negim tell about Arabian life. First she told us about the different kinds of Arabs. There are the desert Arabs, and those east of Damascus City. The former wear long robes and the latter wear something like our gym bloomers only they are longer. Their homes are solid masses of stone and it is a mystery how some came to be built so. They have, what seems to us, queer customs in their churches, one of which is, if an Arab marries out of his family, he or she can never enter the main part of the church. Their fam- ilies are quite large, there are nine hundred or more in every family, whose family name is not the same surname. - Verdia's name in Arabia would be: Verda Messeh Negim, Hamood Nagim, Algosayine. Algosayine is the one big family name. These families raise their own food, they have large gardens, their grapes are twice the size of our ordinary grapes, the olives are never picked from the tree because picking them would make them bitter to the taste they are just shaken from the tree, then the ripe olives fall. Their big dish is made of grape leaves roll- ed like cigars. Their method of preparing their food is entirely different from ours and rather difficult to explain. They have the most beautiful horses in the world. If they are full blooded Arabian horses they can never be taken out of the country, be- cause there would soon be so many in the dif- ferent parts of the world that Arabian horse fiesh would lose its value. If anyone sells one of these horses out of his country he is punished. Mary Nichols Reflector Covers We are indebted to Howard Winter for the attractive covers on the February and March issues of the Reiiectorg to John Morrell for his April Rain cover, to Mr. M. Mussato of the Mechanical Drawing department for the very effective letter design, combining school, schol- arship, citizenship, music and athletics which graces our Pictorial Review number.

Her name is Cleota Thomas and she lives at 606 Cherry St. We surely hope she has the same luck at similar try outs at other prizes. The prize that she won was 35.00. Below is her essay: The Value of Street Car and Bus Service in the Upbuilding of a City. To have street cars and busses in a city is a great asset and a source of income. A city or large business firm could not expect to grow if there were no transportation facilities for the people. It also enables industries to be located farther out of the city, Where property and taxes are lower. Workmen would not Walk a great dis- tance to work and therefore busses and street cars could transport them. A city with good transportation facilities for the people will grow much faster than a city without. Attractive busses and street cars, such as Saginaw has, also help to make a city beautiful. They draw the attention of tourists and visitors and give them a favorable impression of the city. That is why busses and street cars aid in the upbuilding of a city by promoting business.

Air i 7A Home Rooms Spanish in Central Junior High FTEN people ask Why do we study a for- eign language in Central Junior High School? The study of any foreign lan- guage broadens the horizon of the student, that is, it gives him knowledge of different people, -countries, and customs. Learning a foreign lan- guage gives a pupil more sympathy forforeiners learning our language. lt also helps to promote good feelings between the people of different countries. Pupils choose Spanish because it is amodern language and so more interesting than a dead language would be. Spanish gives the same training as any foreign language. It is spoken by a great many people and is becoming averv important language in the business world. Many of our szatesmen, like Hoover and Weeks, recommend the study of Spanish as a means of creating better feeling between North and South America. Spanish is a modern form of Latin. No pupil should start Spanish because he thinks it is easy, for like all other languages the study of Spanish means hard work. A pupil working faithfully at Spanish for two years should have the beginning of a good Spanish pronunciation, the ability to read, write, and speak simple Spanish, and some knowledge of Spanish speaking countries, their great men, famous places, and interesting costumes. In Spanish class, besides the ordinary reading and writing. we have conversations about pictures and objects, we sing Spanish songs, give Spanish yells, play Spanish games, and write and act Spanish plays. The Spanish Club which meets Monday during clearing hour work Spanish cross word puzzles, reads Spanish jokes, and does many other things which make the study of Spanish more pleasant and interesting.

Every girl in her teens thinks she must have an appropri- ate costume for every occasion, so I shall proceed to tell about my idea of an ideal wardrobe. First of all, the wardrobe should contain three or four simple sport dresses for school. Nothing elaborate or formal is sensible for a girl to wear to school. Therefore, we shall dress our model in a very simple jersey dress of tan with tan silk hose and oxfords. A bright green handkerchief in the pocket of the dress makes the costume much more striking. Agirl must also have a plaited skirt to Wear with flashy sweaters. In order to wear this outfit one must have three or four blouses and a for-in-hand tie which goes well with the sweater. Now let us dress our model for an afternoon bridge party or tea. A light, fluffy dress with short sleeves made of silk crepe or georgette is very becoming for this occasion. Light silk hose and black patent leather, or satin pumps and a simple little silk hat will complete the costume. Mesh or bead bags are often carried. If our model was to go to a formal dance we should dress her in a light colored chiffon, sleeveless dress with a light bodice and a full, fluffy, petaled skirt. Silver chiffon hose and silver pumps are very appropriate, although hose to match the dress and black satin pumps are also becoming. A simple light-colored, wrap- around coat completes the formal attire of our model. For hiking and camping a girl should wear tweed knickers, a bright sweater, a small felt hat, heavy wool socks and oxfords or hiking boots. As for necessary accessories, such as dainty handkerchiefs, pins, ties, and scarfs, they are very necessary to complete a girl's wardrobe. Mary Watson A Scotchman and a Jew were in the habit of coming late to church services fafter the collection was taken upl. One day the minister thought he would fool them so he waited till they came in before he had the collection taken up. Just as soon as the collection plate was be- ing passed the Scotchman fainted and the Jew carried him out.

The Perry family from New York bought it and moved into it. The mansion had many rooms in it, also many winding stairs and secret passages. At the head of the stairs facing the room where Mr. Benton had been murdered, stood an old walnut clock which had stopped when he had been found. No one ever had learned who the assassin was. People thought Mr. Benton's St. Bernard dog had gone mad and killed him because the dog had disappeared immediately. When the Perry family moved, people told them the house was haunted. However, they scorned this. They told that weird noises were heard about twelve o'clock every night. This frightened Sally and Mrs. Perry but Tom and Mr. Perry let it go in one ear and out the other. The day of moving was a warm day and hard toget settled, but by six o'clock they had beds anda table set with a good supper on it. They retired to their rooms about eleven- thirty. When all of a sudden Sally reached over and grabbed her mother, motioning her to be very silent, because she thought it was Tom trying to scare them. In the morning Mr. Perry and Tom were white and haggard from the lack of sleep. Sally tried to get them to tell what was the matter but they refused to say a word. That morning Mr. Perry went to the village and called long distance for about six detectives. They arrived on the noon train. He then took them into a private room, leaving Tom to guard the door. This alarmed Mrs. Perry very much. After about half an hour Mr. Perry reappeared. The men were given places to sleep that night and were also alarmed at the strange noises. Early in the morning Mr. Perry, Tom, and the detectives went to search the house. In the room in which Mr. Benton was found there was a trap door, which no one had known about, but it was plainly seen that someone had been fus- sing with it. In the trap door was a key about four inches long with a tag tied to it saving Go to the north end of the room and feel along the wall by the third window until you feel a small opening. Break the paper there and you will find another trap door. --Jim Benton. This seemed very strange but the men obeyed. After finding' and opening it , there was a box two feet by two feet upon which was a lock and key. After opening it, the first thing seen was a white paper upon which was written, I have but one enemy. He is John McNorte, my secretary. Mr. McNorte is the only living person who knows about my price- less necklace which is also in this box. Give the necklace to the oldest girl that is now living here. His name was signed. They all stood watch and at midnight a secret door opened and out came a man whose picture was on the dresser of Mr. Benton with his name at the bottom. Was it his secretary? Yes, it was the very same person as in the pic- ture. The detectives grabbed him and held him while he confessed that he was the one who had caused the noises and who had killed Mr. Benton. Mr. McNorte said that he had locked the dog in the cellar so he would make the terrifying noises. Once more the beautiful dog came into the light and made friends with Sally and Tom. Mr. McNorte was given a trial and was found guilty. He was then sent to prison for life. Lucille Fliegel Orientation Through Exploration HAT'S one way to say it, according to the dictionary it means, To maintain the pro- per mental attitude on a subject through careful survey. That doesn't help us much. So let's try another. To find one's self. There we have it. That's not as funny as you think it is. I'm willing to wager that you know more about any one of your friends than you do about your- self even tho you have had several years in Junior High which is calculated to help you find yourself. However there's a way in which you can remedy this situation. Take a careful survey of yourself Cexplorationl. Then when you have decided as much as possible about yourself, choose a field in life in which these character- istics will best fit Corientationl. A Junior High School is calculated to help you find yourself. As an example of this fact, I'll tell vou what I found about myself while I was in Central. I can express mythoughts well in either writing or verbally. The Reflector and audi- torium classes helped me in this. I like acting, I am not embarrassed by being before a crowd. I like anything connected with an amateur per- gorgaigce. Thanks to the dramatic Work of C. I enjoy teaching another person any sub- ject in which I am proficient and seem to be able to put it across. In this I was helped by being a patrol leader in the boy scouts.

Well, for those to whom French has become, as it were, a part of themselves the question answers for its beauty, literature, art, history, diplomacy, commerce, and its contributions to our own language through the invasion of William the Conqueror. Possibly the chief reason that many feel an urge to learn the language is that the most of us are utilitarians rather than idealists and beauty lovers, and its commercial value makes an appeal to us. Educated business people in the Latin countries, Germany as well as far off Syria, have an oral and written command of the lan- guage, so that a business letter written in French would be understood in a firm of any standing in all of these countries. English is enough for those who go to Paris to shop or visit the points of interest, because it is always possible to secure the service of an interpreter and such people may return to their native land knowing no more about the lan- guage than when they left. V 1 The largest market in the world is Les Halles Centrales of Paris, where one sees not merely Paris and Parisians but France and the French, and those who have visited Les Halles have felt well repaid by the picturesqueness of the scene and the humor of the people-that is those whe can understand the language. When seeking the highways and paths of that country frequented by tourists a knowledge of the language is essential and an interpreter is not always available. One may never come in contact with Paris- ians or have even a speaking acquaintance with people of French descent, but nothing is lost nor is time wasted in its study, for it helps one's reading immensly not only in translating phrases occuring in the best English literature but by Usprucing up our own vocabulary and obtaining a valuable experience. When puzzled as to which to study through high school and possibly college, by all means place your decision on the diplomatic French. He knows his own language best, who knows at least one other with which he may compare it. Royalty, merchants, lawyers, doctors scientists, and a great number of non-profes- sional people are remarkable linguists, and speak this branch of the romance languages with ease. Last but by no means least, through this knowledge we would become better men and women, gifted with a broadness of mind and sympathetic understanding of other countries, and each and every one of us might honestly believe that all men are born free and entitled to -equal opportunities. John Banister Can You Find One? Many students would think that my idea of an ideal teacher would be a teacher who would let one play every day without working, but they're all wrong I'm not saying that Fm a slave for labor, but if one played all the time where would one get? No place! Many a teacher I have disliked because she made us work too hardg some, because they think they know it all. If there are any like that here, they certainly belong in some Eastern University or a higher place of education. My ideal teacher is a teacher who knows more than just what is in books, but does not like to make it known too much. He or she can and is willing to be corrected without taking one's head off. One of the greatest characteristics which an ideal teacher shows is a good sense of humor. No one likes any person better than one with this characteristic. These are some of the characteristics which form what I would call an ideal teacher. Can you find one? Alfred Seitner 1 Q?

C. HIS article is Written for the people who are interested in stories of the capital city ofthe U. S. and to readers of this maga- zine. Those of you who have had the oppor- tunity to visit Washington probably know that it is often called the bicycle wheel city, the streets being laid out much in that order. Pennsylvania Avenue begins at the Capitol Building and leads directly northwest to the White House, where Washington Avenue con- tinues on in the same direction on the farther end of the Executive Mansion Grounds. Directly north of Pennsylvania Avenue is Massachusetts Avenue. Virginia Avenue, south of Pennsyl- vania Avenue runs in the same direction as the latter. Potomac Avenue runs northeast, starting directly from the Potomac River where the large Lincoln Memorial may be seen. Many of the streets are named after states such as Rhode Island, Iowa, New Jersey, New York, Maryland, Vermont, and Washington. The large Washington Monument may be seen from the Capitol Building, the monument is the tallest piece cf masonry in the world, be- ing 555 feet and 5Vg inches in height. Those seeking proofs to strengthen their convictions may be interested in knowing a few facts about some of the historical scenes, either natural or man-made. The Hall of Representatives occupies the main floor of the Capitol Building. It is 139 feet in length, 93 feet wide, and 30 feet high. The visitor's gallery is entered from the floor above where a ceiling of glass over head, with the coat of arms of each state painted upon it diffuses a soft light throughout the chamber. The members' desks are of mahogany and the sneaker's desk of white marble, where elevated below are the clerks' desks. The United States Treasury Building faces Pennsylvania Avenue with the Washington Monument at the rear. The length of the mas- sive structure is 450 feet and the width 250 feet. The State, War and Navy Building also faces Pennsylvania Avenue with a frontage of 342 feet and a depth 565 feet and is considered as one of the largest and most beautiful office buildings in the world. It has 500 rooms and two miles of marble halls. Mt. St. Alban, the national cathedral now being built, will fulfil George Washington's dream of a church for national purposes. It will be larger than Westminster Abbey and it will rise above the Washington Monument. The cathedral is now the resting place of the late Woodrow Wilson.

Shaler My Experience As a Jewelry Salesman had a good education, and plenty of ex- perience which is Worth more to me, even though it cost less. So I decided to go into the jewelery business. By looking up a friend who sold the glass stuff, I got awholesale price on it. I would'nt sell cheap goods, so fitted me up with some high class things, such as ear- rings, diamond and ruby rings, and breast pins. I got the whole outfit for 375.53 but he dropped the price to 3.03 to make it an even number. I don't know who got the best of the bargain but I afterward heard him remark that his profit was 375.00 so the goods I had were Worth 50 cents. ' Being advised to go as far away as possible, I chose Salt Lake City, because I thought if salt would hold up anything, it ought to hold up my prices. My other reason was that since out there the Mormons had more than one wife, the sales would be larger. As I Walked along the main street toward the lake, I thought to myself, I guess I'll try an experi- ment. Arriving at the lake, I threw my most expensive earrings in and much to my surprise thev sank. This was my loss. I turned and Walked down Brigham street. Here I noticed a large house and as I mounted the steps my knees began to shake for this was to be my first customer. A lady answered the door and asked me in. She was young and pretty and I judged she was unmarried, sol first displayed a diamond ring. As I was telling her that the price was 8250, a door opened and shut and in walked an elderly man. Who is this , he demanded, pointing at me. It's a salesman, she answered. 'What is he selling? he inquired. Jewelry, she replied. Let me see it, he demanded. He looked at it for about a minute, then he turned and screamed at me You,re a fake . And with that he kicked me out of the house. When I landed in the yard, I was on top of my jewelry and it was all broken. AsI picked myself up, I heard him say Have'ntItold you not to buy from peddlers?. That's why I quit the jewelry business. Billy Rorke. ty, ni 17 . r, f Her BPOthCP,S Friend N a city in Indiana, Ruth Chandler, a young high school girl, was going to see her friend, Alice King. She noticed a taxi-cab driving along with a very bashful young man in the back seat. VVhen she came to the King house the taxi stopped. 'I'he young man said, Is this the home of Gerald King, please? Yes it is, and I am just going to see his sister Alice, Ruth replied. Did you want to see him? 'LYes I did, I am his friend from New York and my name is Albert Forest, said that personage. 1 am Ruth Chandler, she replied. They went into the house together. Alice and her brother Gerald were just coming down stairs. Why, hello Bert, are you li ere al- ready? We weren't expecting you until to- morrow. Well Gerry, doesn't it look as if I'm here. I met Ruth just coming up the steps, turning to Alice, Alice, as I suppose you are. '4Oh, never mind the girls, Bert. Come up to my room and then we'll have something to eat as I suppose you're hungry, broke in Gerry im- patiently. The two boys were off at a bound to Gerry's room. This room was on the south side of the house, facing the street. Sunlight poured in the whole year round. Bert took off his coat and the two boys ran away to the kitchen where Sarah, the colored cook, was making cakes. Give us something to eat quick, Sarah, gasped Gerry. Yo, boys shouldn't eat 'tween eatin, time, replied Sarah. Well, he's hungry, ejaculated Gerry, pointing to Albert. Well, don't yo' tell yoah Mammy then, she said gingerly. The boys set about to amuse themselves until Dr. and Mrs. King should come home. This was not hard to do in the big house and Gerry began showing Albert through the house. First came the library which was Elledwith books pictures, statues and antique things. One of these antiques especially interested Albert. lt was a cabinet filled with little drawers. Almost every place you touched was a place of conceal- ment for a drawer. The boys looked through this, then Gerry said, Look! and he touched a spring and a drawer flew open revealing a beautiful ring. Bert looked closer at it and he saw that it was a beautiful opal set in diamonds. Oh, there's Mother and Dad. Hey! wait a minute Ma, here's Bert, cried Gerry. Mrs. King paused. She was a Women of medium height with the blue eyes and fair hair which Alice inherited. How do you do, Albert, I'm very glad to see you, my dear, she said. Oh, I'm all right, thank you ma'm. How are you? Bert asked. Fine, thank you. Well, excuse me for a minute. Certainly, both boys replied at once. The boys went to sleep that night and awoke to find the sun streaming in on them. Hey! get up. Gerry called, poking Bert, I think it's about eight o'clock. 'iAll right, just a sec, drawled Bert. live been dreaming I guess. The boys got up and went down to break- fast singing. Say, said Bert, sing before break- fast, cry before night, you know, so weld better cut it out. That afternoon the boys were playing ball and when they came in they found everything in a turmoil. Alice was crying, Mrs. King was almost in hysterics, and Dr. King was hunting frantically all over the room. What's up ? demand Gerry. Why, you know that ring that Aunt Isabelle left us in her will? Well that is gone, replied Dr. King. Immediately glances of suspicion passed between the two boys. Into both minds came a memory ofthe precious afternoon. Dr. King, noticing these looks exchanged asked, Have you seen it lately? Well, Gerry said reluc- tantly, yesterday afternoon before you came home I was showing Albert through the house and as he was interested in the antiques in the library, I showed him the ring. But we left it in the drawer after looking at itf' It is very hard tc believe but the ring is very beautiful, could you describe it to me?,' Dr. King asked, turning to Albert. I noticed it was beautiful, faltered Bert, and it was an opal, I think, surrounded by diamonds. Well, all right, you boys may gof' Then he added to himself, Pretty exact descrip- tion of it I should say. Whether he wanted to or not Dr. King had to go on with his profession so the next night we 1'ind him in the home of Peter Alderton, an old friend of his, who was very sick. Peter Alderton had known about the ring long before the theft. The doctor told him all about the theft and the anxiety it was causing in the King household. That night the doctor called up detective Carroll, told all the clues and told him to find the ring. The detective said he would find that the boy had it. One day while Albert was out, a search was made through his room. It revealed no- thing save an opal nearly identical to that which had been stolen. This looks as if he has sold the diamonds. If so, they will be next to impossible to trace, said detective Carroll. Mrs. King, to whom the ring had been left, Wasxlamenting because she had not put it in the bank. Peter Alderton's finances were very low, and were daily growing worse. Dr. King was there almost every day because he did not like to have one of his patients die. One day Alder- ton uttered some words. These were the words: I'm-ring-sorry- poor, with mutterings in between- I Continued on next page E .V,. ,,x I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I I .H N ' W li? ,,,M,.,1..,,.-......-,n -. ,,: jk i ,, .. . - ,,.......... .--, .. ., VA-559 'A Cal ai- 1' 1-1 li 11 1 Q '11 Q1 R 1 A 1. 11 li 1-A 1. 1-2 cf '11 0 R libriif-at---i-Qfl ff? G Meanwhile the detective was searching all the pawnshops. He found the ring in a little one on the outskirts of the town. Then came the question, how was he to find who took it there? The keeper of the pawnshop could not remem- er. Peter Alderton was daily growing worse. One day he sent for Dr. King. When the doc- tor was there he made a confession. Maybe you know, said Alderton, that my finances are very low. When you told me about the ring you did not think I was trying to find a way to get it. I had a very good friend of mine take it while you were in town the other day. I am very sorry I caused you so much anxiety. I put it in old Bill's pawnshopf' After saying these words he dropped back on his pillow, dead. Albert was relieved of all suspicion and the ring which has caused so much trouble was put into a bank, where it wouldbe no temptation to anyone.

Aurora Houck U-The Youth's Companion THINK the Youth's Companion is an ex- tremely interesting educational magazine for boys and girls. There are always -stories which tell us of countries far away and countries near. In the back of magazine is an interesting Children's Page It sometimes has a list of books telling a little about each one. This page is called The Book Shelf. The lives of great people such as the life of Abraham Lincoln and Thomas A. Edison are told aboutg stories like these are of great value to boys and girls, it gives them a fine historical background. Each month Arthur Guiterman has a poem with a picture above it illustrating his poem. In this way he gives you a very good idea of what he wants to tell the readers. Another page that is of interest to us is the Facts and Comment. I can find no fault with the Youth's Companion? It is very complete. every school should have it for their pupils. I forgot to mention the advertisements which are in it, and which are attractive and give us a lot of information about everything. Eloise Hertel My Idea ofa Room My idea of a boy's room is a small room not far from resembling a museum. In it is a model boat in one corner of the room, a punch- ing bag quite worn'With use, and a pair of be- draggled looking boxing gloves not far away. Above the model boat there is probably a gro- tesque skull of some unfortunate dog collected while on a hike. In another corner there is a radio that never would work no matter how much the owner tried to make it. In the book case there are some appropriate books such as Captain Kidd, Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Buccaneers and Pirates of Our Coasts, Treasure Island, and Mysteri- ous Islandf' That is my idea of a room.

It was decided that I should play the clarinet, the same instrument that my father plays. My father taught me to read notes, 'dnger my clarinet, and a little time value. I was at that time somewhere near the age of eleven or twelve. I took one year of private lessons from Mr. Jacobi the teaches the flute, saxophone, and clarinetl . I joined the C. J. H. Band last fall in which there are the cornet, tromhones, baritones, mellophones, saxophones, clarinets, flute, and piccolo. The percussion instruments are drums, orchestra bells, and cymbals. On the stage we are seated in a semi-circle, the director has his stand in the middle of the stage at the front. The cornet players are on his right, trombone players are arranged in one line instead of two. The line curves around so that with the baritone and mellophones it stretches across the stage in front of the directorg on his left are the clarinets with piccolo and iiuteg on the Hute player's left are the saxophones. In the back of the stage are the drums, cymbals, orchestra bells, and tuba. The band played before the public on Open School Night, at the Faust production, Parent- Teacher meeting, basketball games, both Gym exhibitions, and at the Merchant of Venice production. Our director is Mr. Flueckiger, who is very efficient in my estimation. AI-Ie certainly puts pep into the band. In any musical organization it is very important that each member watch and obey the dire. tor. You cannot Very often tell what he will do next, that is, in the way of time tone. VVhile I am speaking of obeying the director it might interest you to know that you have to be on time to practice or go to the office for an excuse the same as pupils of any other class have to. VV'hen playing before an audience one can see more than the people think one can see. I know, there are times that I seem to make more false notes than true ones. If I make a mistake and then see two people in the crowd talking I just know they are talking about me. It is funny the thoughts that flat through one's mind. I remember on the night that we played for Faust I saw one of my grammar school teachers and I immediately thought of the fun I had in her class.

The playing trains us to use both eyes, one for music, one for the director. It is also a splendid training in the appre- ciation of good music for we are given only the best music to study. Playing in the band surely makes. the time go quickly, we stay until five o'clock every prac- tice night. I can not tell where the year has gone. I suppose it is because we are so very, very busy. Alice Ober Blood For Drink WAS the only woman aviator during the Great War. My fiying buddies called me Flying Sal, but my real name was Sally O'.Rielly, which spells green all over. Often my Irish humor got me out of many a difficult situation over there. I tucked the orders in my inner breast pocket and then buttoned my leather jacket about me before hopping into my monoplane. My instructions were to Hy over No Man's Land into German territory Where our spy was located and give him the orders which would tell him what to do next. I can't imagine how they ever spotted my ca rnouiiagedn plane, but soon another plane was following me. After a few unsuccessful shots I finally had him playing a harp. In the iight my canteen which I kept filled with water was punctured and I was also shot. It wasn't very pleasant to think of a day and a half without water and I was ready to collapse for loss of blood. Finally I could not stand it any longer, so I resorted to sucking my blood. It wasn't pleasant tasting I'll admit that, but it was better than nothing. I soon sighted the hut where I was to meet Spying Sam. I glided like a bird and headed for the clearing made for landing. I don't know how I reached the hut for I fainted when I tried to get out of my plane. I think Sam carried me in, for when I came to I was in the hut and Sam was standing over the camp fire frying me an egg and making me some coffee. After dressing my wound he took his orders and left me alone. While by myself, I had time to view my sur- roundings. The hut had been hastily built and did not have any covering on the floor. There was a table, on which was a bottle of cordial, an overturned chair on the floor, a camp stove, a shelf, on which were some supplies, and the cot on whichI was lying. A picture of his moth- er was hung on the wall where I could easily see it from the cot. After lying there for two days I began to get rested. So I decided to scout around out- side. I went to look over my plane and as I was returning, I heard some one shout and some unknown person grasped my arm roughly. I turned to look into the face of the fiercest looking Hun I had ever come across. In front of his gun I was made to walk and walk and walk. I knew he was taking me to a German prison that Ihad heard so much about. An airplane was coming and he made me drop to the ground so as not to attract attention. The German said something that I took to mean If you shout, I'l1 fill you full of lead, for he stuck his revolver into my back. My eye caught a piece of glass which was lying close at hand. The airplane was overhead now. I picked up the piece of glass and flashed a message to the pilot. At first, I thought he didn't see the message for he went flying on but by the sound of the engine I knew he was descending. The German and I again pushed on through the the thicket. We had walked for about half a mile when I heard the voice of Spying Sam say, Stick 'em up, Old Timer. The German cursed, but it didn't do him any good. Spying Sam saved my life.

Mechanical Drawing HE study of Mechanical Drawing sas a whole is very interesting. The elementary grades of Mechanical Drawing are seventh eighth, and ninth grades respectively. Our two mechanical drawing teachers through an interview gave the following facts about the study which is really the basic language of industry. Mechanical Drawing to some students is the most interesting on their program. To others it is the slowest two hours that they ever spent pushing a pencil. Both teachers agree that the 7B grade is their slowest class to get started. The main reason for this is the fact that it is new to them, and possibly the idea that their teacher is a man who frightens them a bit - maybe a whole lot. ' Nevertheless the seventh grade work is taken up to teach the pupil accuracy, neatness and trade practice. The eighth grade is a gradual climb to more thorough and complete drawings, taking in machine drawings such as a crank, ventilater cap, machine bolt and many others. In the ninth grade the work and the teacher show a decided improvement as the teacher seems to have a more cheerful look and the drawings seems to be easier, Mr.Mussatto and Mr. Long can truthfully say that their9 A class on the average are the fastest progressing class- es that they teach. Aesop 2000 years ago said: A bird in the hand is worth a stitch in time, Cloud laughterl but now in 1927 Mr. Long says, Because Mechanical Drawing is used so exten- sively in the world, every man should be able to read a drawing. For the same reason that the fundamentals of any foreign language are taught in the Junior High School. so also should the fundamentals of this Universal Language be taught to all boys in this Junior High grade. Mr. Mussatto also adds that Drawings executed by the aid of instruments are called mechanical drawings. Generally the term is associated with drawings representing machin- ery only. But all drawings must be accurately made, and for the execution of which recourse must be had to instruments, may be classed among mechanical drawings.

Boys' Physical Training, Outdoor Sports and Tumbling Clubs. My Favorite Aulhor call Louisa Mae Alcott my favorite author because she seems to understand the real life of girls. She writes about boys too, but I like the stories about girls best, because I am a girl myself. I think the best' story that she wrote about girls is Little Women. I like this so well because everything that happens seems true and natural. In the first part of the book it pictures the hard life of the family while their father is in war. The other part of the book is happier because their father returns and Jo gets married to Mr. Bhaer. Then they all live a very happy life. This story is continued in another book of this author, namely Little Men. I think Little Women especially appeals to girls and every girl ought to read it because it teaches many lessons. Julia Kottnauer Young Writers N Miss Clark's eighth hour class we have a number of young writers. Every Wed- nesday we take a part of the hour to hear the stories. One of the most interesting stories is Under Northen Skies by Donna Wallace. It is a story of a trip north to discover hidden gold. It is not a short story as you would think but a regular book. Another is Her First Trip Abroadf' writ- ten by Rose May Schwinck. This is also a very exciting story of a girl who has many experi- ences on an ocean liner. Mildred Butler is our poet. Her poem Sun- set is in this issue. A number of other girls are writing stories but have not yet decided the names. We hope to find one of these stories in the Reflector.

You were juniors last year, weren't you? .. 1, The Chariot Race NCE upon a time when the world was just beginning, King Polonias, a merman, decided to have a chariot race. All the young mermen were training their steeds for this great festivity. Stumpingham town was the largest city underneath the waters of the Atlantic Ocean near Georgia, therefore the King had his palace there. He lived with his wife and son besides all of their servants in a beautiful palace of sea- weed and colored stones. It was situated near- What does situated mean? piped up the small voice of my cousin. Marcia. Well, situated means located. The town was located in a hollow near the coast. The young prince, Thornton, was to drive a chariot also. He had four coal-black steeds and a magnihcent chariot of colored seaweed. When he was christened, a fairy said that he would always be able to win in everthing he undertook. At last the big day came, and all the mermen and mermaids sat in a big grandstand around the race track. Finally all the Chariots came out of a stable at one end of the grounds and lined up. All the people were cheering for all they were worth. A pistol cracked and they were off. , At first a young merman by the name of Per- cival was ahead, and then the prince shot past him. He won the race. While his horses were running, they began to foam at the mouth, and they foamed so much that it all went to the sur- face of the waters. Ever since then when it foams, you will know that the people in the water are having a chariot race.

What W'e Found Out N g . 'gl Li: OME of the girls in Mrs. Sanford's eighth hour Hygiene class wished to know what Central Junior High School eats so some of the girls went up to the Cafeteria at noon and took down the lunches of the pupils and teachers. After they took down the lunches they brought them to class. The papers with the lunches on were given to some other girls who tabulated them under four big headings: sweet lunches, protein lunches, starchy lunches, and correct lunches. Our results were interest- ing. See chart for results. In order that you may know what these different food groups include We shall tell you. 1. Starchy foods are all those made from any kind of grains fwheat, rye, corn, or ricej or went something like this. This conversation was between Susie Stout and her friend. I can't get anything to eat up here unless it is something to make me stouter, sighed Susie Stout. Nor I, said her friend. Susie's lunch was of cake, ice cream, candy bar, and pie. Her friend's was the same. The boy ahead of me was Johnny Grumpy who always had a stomach ache. He had beans, pickles, olives, ice cream, and milk. After I chose my lunch I went to sit at a table.

Nations often issue stamps to commemorate important happenings in their past history. Examples of such stamps are the United States Columbian Issue of 1893, and the Canadian Quebec Issue of 1908. Stamp-collecting or philately, as it often called also teaches geography. If I were not a stamp collector I never would have heard of such small, out-of-the-way countries as Anjouan Renya, Travancore, Diego-Suarez, and Allen- stein. I may add that I had one terrible time trying to find Anjouan on the map. Not only is it educational but it is financi- ally proiitable. Each and every postage-stamp, that has been legitimately issued has some val- ue, which is anywhere from one cent to 32, 500 dollars. I never expect to have one worth that much because there is only one of that kind in existance that being the one cent British Gui- ana stamp issued in 1859. The value of stamps is set by the Scott Stamp Co. of New York, who publish each year the Scott Standard Postage- Stamp Catalogue which gives the value of every stamp, used and unused,which has been issued up to that time. In the course of collecting, one gradually becomes more interested in the stamps, pro- bably selling the stamps of other countrys. I myself will most likely be a United States, stamp specialist before the year of 1928 has arrived. However, I have stamps from all over the world mounted in my album at the present time, and I am always happy while turning the pages of my album and gazing at these many beautiful bits of paper. Can you blame me?

Q? GD. Typewriting LICK-clik-click-click-click-click- What's that? a friend inquired as we were walking down the second corridor. Oh, that's the music in 211, I replied. Is that a music room? she asked. Then I explained to her that I didn't really mean music but that to those who liked typing and appreciated its value the click- click of those fifty-eight typewriters really seemed like music. I wonder how many stop to think just what the typewriter has done for the world? In free- ing the world from pen slavery the typewriter has saved a volume of time and labor and has facilitated and made possible the enormous growth of modern business. It was the typewriter which first opened to women the doors of business life and in so doing it has brought about a transformation in our whole social order, it has changed our modern system of education in many of its most important phases, it has helped to bring the whole world into closer relationship. 'Ihe typewriter is only a little over fifty years old. Like many other great inventions it came in recognition of a need and today its use is world-wide. There is no article of commerce more universal in its distribution. Everywhere on earth today where man is found with ability to read and write, there is found the typewriter. The following statement may help you in visu- alizing this fact: Some years ago a linguistic genius conceived the idea of collecting typewrit- ten translation of the motto, To save time is to lengthen life, in all the languages of the world. The collection in 1923 had grown to eighty-four languages. In commercial education the typewriter has long Since established its reign. Its use in the business world, in colleges, and in senior and junior high schools is universal. It may be a long time before the typewriter is established in the elementary schools as an educational implement as necessary as charts and black- boards but in the home this service has already begun and will be extended with every passing year. It is by no means easy to learn to typewrite- Correct habits must be formed from the begin- ning if we expect to succeed. We must pay close attention to our technique, rhythm and accin-acy. We are admonished over and over again by our instructors not to cheat ourselves even once by watching our keys, or the work on our machine but to keep our eyes on our copy. We are told that the habits which we form dur- ing our first month or two of practice will re- main with us during all the years that we use the typewriter. Is it not then worth while to form correct habits from the beginning, and need one ask - Why learn to typwrite? In closing we add the words of Sholes whose name is little known today in the world of business of which he transformed with his inven- tion of the typewriter. In one of the last letters that he ever wrote he said: Whatever I may have felt in the early days of the value of the typewriter, it is obviously a blessing to man: kind, and especially to womankind. I am glad I had something to do with it. I builded wiser than I knew, and the world has the benefit of it. Weltha Finley The Reflector Staff wishes to thank Miss Thayer and the members of her typing class for their splendid cooperation in typing copy for this issue.

A poem recited by girls was on the following page. As no book is complete without music the song Always followed, sung by a girl accompanied by the piano. As the next page was turned a book report of Limpy was revealed. A poem telling the sorrows of a red-headed girl formed the following page. One of the clever Cream of Wheat ads so familiar to readers completed the book.

Many pupils take other foreign languages because they think LATIN too hard. Having never taken another language I can not say, but I do know that LATIN is the foundation of all foreign languages so it really pays to get at least two years of Latin before at- tempting any other language. Our regular work is relieved by test, con' tests and outside work. To many the word test may not bring reliefQ but when two classes are contestmg to see which is the better a test does much to prove the truth. This is the way the academic class proved that they are more than a match for the college preparatory class. The C. class tried to redeem themselves after once being defeated. Here their average was nearly twenty points lower than the Academids. Next a contest was held. Although the C. P. class started out with six or seven more than the Academic, the latter had six brave undefeated contestants standing when the last C. P. man was vaniguished. The third triumph for the Academic class came when their average on another test was four points the higher. The eighth grade pupils kept individual notebooks. These contain clippings from papers and elsewhere, which pertain to Latin. Other eighth grade classes keep cultural notebooks. Besides clippings these contain advertisements and. stories which have something to do with Latin. One 8B and 8A class has Friday set aside as Cultural Day. The SB class represented notable Romans. One would give the biography of the person he was representing and the other guesses. The 8A class represented mythological characters in the same way. . The ninth grade classes do considerable out- side work. The first semester we drew a map of Italy -and kept a class scrapbook. Each pupil contributed articles or clippings to it and worked hard to complete it. We studied myths and pupils wrote some. One of our most interesting things of outside work was our travel talks. One of the talks was on Naples, one of Italy's most beautiful cities. Towering above it to a height of four thousand feet is the volcano, Vesuvius, which seems to threaten the heavens with its smoking torch. The fishermen along the Bay of Naples appear to be almost as old as the city itself, but hard labor has caused these wrinkles. The streets of Naples are about six feet wide and seem even narrower because of the gloomy tenement houses which rise to an amazing height and stop only when poverty will climb no higher. The next talk was on Venice. The city is much more beautiful at night because the lights gleam uponthe .Waters andthe. music from the x ral 'I gondolas can be heard. Here there are over 450 bridges and it Was here that the great composer Wagner died. To me the most interesting lecture was on Rome. The City of Seven Hills, the Eternal City, City of Caesar's, Mother of Cities, City of the Tiber, the City of Fountains, these and many more were the names given to Rome, a city which still holds world interest. There are many places I should like to visit if I ever went to Rome. too many to be men- tioned here. A few of them are the ancient Tiber with its solitary island, the Temple of Vesta where the six Vestals kept the sacred fire burn- ing, tbe Roman Forum, a sunken square from which at various points rise columns, arches, and crumbling Walls. You often hear the phrase, All roads lead to Rome. Well, all distances were measured from the Golden milestone in Rome to Palestine, Asia Minor, Egypt, Greece, Spain, and Britian. The arches of Titus and Constantine can not be passed without notice. In the Colosseum in olden days could be seen all sorts of cruel pastimes. Men and beasts killed for the pleasure of others. The Colosseum held eighty-seven thousand. Some other places of interest are the Amphitheatre, the great aqueducts, the Roman baths, for the Romans were much cleaner then We are. One emperor bathed eight times a day and even ate his meals in a bath. Last of all I should like to see the Vatican home of the Pope and St. Peter's Cathedral, the largest in Europe. Before the end of the year we hope to have a few more talks taking up cities in other countries. Frances Butler The Storm April 21, 1927 A sudden hush-then stillness! Gray clouds, white-tinged' scud fast and furious high overhead Followed by a blackening gray of rain About to descend from on-coming dimness. A bird swoops low with fear Then darts chirping to her high nestg Lightning, fork-tined, splits the gray west And bathes us in its overflow. A sudden gust-a giving way- Dry leaves and paper whirl frantic'ly As puny dwaris before a wicked monster, Mothers, panic-stricken, call their children in from play, Bare limbs bend low their tough sinews before the mighty on-slaught, Torrents rush in gust after gust, And drench the mud-soaked road, Thunder, deep-voiced, rolls its mighty accents thru our souls- We, mere pigmies, grope for fear, Yet e'en a sparrow doth not fall, But Our Father mindeth him! . -.

The inter-home room contests arranged by Miss Dailey and Mrs. Sanford have proved a great success in getting the girls to- gether. In February we had the basket-ball tourna- ments, resulting in the championship for Home Room 213. Home Room 311 and 201 coming in for second and third places. The banners for the winning teams were awarded in assembly. In March the gym exhibits kept both in- structors busy, some of the outstanding classes were Mrs. Sanford's clown dance and Miss Dailey's girls' tumbling classg these were splen- did examples of the fine training both instruc- tors gave to the pupils. The Baseball tournament started in April and the winner of the banner for first place was Home Room 213. There was no consolation series as there was not sufficient time. Miss Dailey had charge of the school base- ball team and the girls proved themselves champions. The next big thing is track The pupils who are interested in sports are drilling hard for the big meet over at Hoyt Park on June 2. Here-'s hoping that Central does as well this year as last, and maybe even better. Dorothy Warne The Moonlight Fairies The silvery moon is shining tonight, The Willows bow over the streamg The fairies and elves come dancing about, Their chance is best when the moon is out, They must have slipped from a dream. The velvety grass so soft and green, Is the carpet upon which they dance, The fairies in lace, with beautiful grace, Golden curls about their face, Smile when the frisky elves prance. The silvery moon is shining tonight, I can see the milky wayg The fairies and elves are dancing there still, By the light of the moon on yonder hill, Now a ray of sunlight and they're gone for the day.

Of course Mr. Boch took care of this as he always does, and almost turned out a win- ning team. Due to the lack of spirit on the part of the pupils our team came in second. They won three games, tied two, and lost one. Next comes Basketball. To begin with our light weight team won the championship by winning five games, and losing one. CI forgot to mention the fact that the light weight division was coached by Mr. Roush.J Along about this time our Gym exhibi- tions were given. They took in all the different kinds of exercises including, dumbell, Wand, and Indian club drills. Through the fine cooperation of our Gym faculty, Mr. Boch, Mr. Roush, Mrs. Sanford, and Miss Dailey, it was a complete success. Following the exhibitions comes the home room basket ball schedule. Many different games were played and ine sportsmanship was shown. The winner of this schedule was Home Room 214. The winner of the consola- tion series was Home Room 104. Going on now is a play ground ball sched- ule, and is being played off. The winner will be announced in the September issue of the Reflector. The season on is now for baseball. Mr Bock, our coach, says that this year is going to be a championship year for our baseball team. All the games that we have played were easily won. Captain George Boertles is managing the team like a veteran. Along with baseball comes track. On June 2, the Track Meet will come off with other schools supposedly present. Mr Roush claims to be an expert at track coaching and we know that he is. So let us get behind him and push, and win the championship banner again this year.

My, l'm certainly thirsty to- day, the mosquito muttered to himself. Suddenly he came upon a large swamp full of insects just like him. Hum, I guess I'll investigate, said the mosquito in a curious tone. I am the famous major from Florida, the F. Mosquito said, introducing himself to the other mosquitoes. The mosquito who acted as captain of the squad of poisoners remarked, We are Malaria Mosquitoes. We got our daggers by colliding into a bush similar to a thorn bush, but instead of having thorns it had small, sharp needles on it. The needle would enter our face, which was fortunate for us, for we are having a delightful time stinging people. The other day we saw ten white men in agony caused by our excitable sport How would you like to be one of our company?'i Hum, hum. Say I guess I will join your com- rades and be hero of the stinging sport. First I'll get a dagger, the Florida Mosquito replied. The mosquito flew away as fast as he could towards a needle bush. One of the needles entered his face painfuly. He didn't care, as he was going 'to cause much more pain with the thing that pained him. Two months later a letter was found beside his grave. It read: Have caused many deaths but Colonel Gorgas got th best of me? Signed, Mr. F. Mosquito.

How We Got the Lady Slippers There was once a very beautiful lady who lived in the reign of King Arthur. She was so lovely that her father would not leave her out of his sight. But she was as clever as she was beautiful. She was belrothed to the gardener who was rather handsome himself. One day when she went out to see him, she gave him a slipper Revered with jewels, as a token of her love for un. That night they were to go away to another kingdom. While on their journey the jewels kept falling off the slipper to the ground. Wher- ever a jewel fell a lovely plant with flowers shaped like the maid en's slipper sprang up. This is how the ladyslipper originated. Arvilla Wendt Art Miss Austin's fifth hour Monday and Wed- nesday art class had an exhibition of the appli- ed art work done by that class, in room 203. It was very pretty, the girls surely did fine work. Their designs were applied to handkerchiefs, skarfs, towels and pillow tops. There were al- so some batik handkerchiefs from Miss Austin's Arts and Crafts Club. Cleota Thomas made a batik handkerchief valued at 52.50. These articles have been on exhibition at the Hoyt Library. Donna Pequignot Rest in Peace, Until- A lady had lost her husband, and had given instructions to the stone mason as to the word- ing on the tombstone, the ending to be Rest in Peace. In the meantime, her late husband's will disclosed the fact that she had been some- what shabbily treated. She rushed to the stone mason and told him to omit the words Rest in Peace. 'Tm very sorry, he replied, but they have already been carved Very well, said the lady, Hthen add, 'Until We Meet Again' ' 33.

' '-'m '- Q 1 This War Stuff ANY people are interested in our foreign relations towards China, Mexico, and Nicaragua. This thing needs clearing up. Everybody is going around prophesying a war like proverbial prophets always do, but President Coolidge expresses a different view. The contents of this view were exposed at a dinner given by the U. S. Press Association. The President's speech is a reply to those Americans who have been criticizing the foreign policy of his administration. Those honorables take the stand that the dispute between Mexico should have been settled by arbitration, and that the U. S. should withdraw her marines an d warships fro rn Nicaragua and China. Their View is that citizens in foreign countries should take their own risks and that the govern- ment shouldn,t feel bound to protect them. The President's reply to this is as follows: While it is a Well established international law that we have no right meddlingin the domestic affairs of other countries in their dealings with their own citizens, it is equally well established that our Government has certain rights, and certain duties toward our own citizens and property wherever they may be located. The person and property of a citizen are a part of the general domain of the Nations, even when abroad. On the other hand there is a distinct and binding obligation on the part of all self-respecting nations to protect the per- son and property of their citizens. These rights go with the citizen. Wherever he goes these duties of our government must follow him. I This message points out the answer to the dispute with Mexico. The dispute is: The Mexi- cans claim that the property there belongs to their republic. Congress claims it was pur- chased before 1917. therefore it is legal. Many times war prophets prophesied an- other war, but we did not have one. We explain- ed to the Mexicans, they explained to us the result was that the dispute was ended peace- fully. Recently their minister to the United States expressed a wish from the Mexican peo- ple. The wish was: We wish to keep on friend- ly terms with America. This Congress was only too glad to grant. The President has this to say about Nica- ragua: For twelve years we have kept a torce of marines in Nicaragua and while they were there everything was calm and peaceful like fthis does not tally with my knowledge of the marinesj. When we withdrew our troops a re- volution was started, the people elected a new presidentg our government recognized him, and we are at peace with the world? CBy Irving Berlin.j Marjorie McKinney Too Good to be True S I awakened by my four cylinder, forty horse power, thirty-six pound, noiseless, patented waking machine. I saw that it was raining, and so I pressed a button labled Clothes for Stormy Weather. I had hardly finished when I heard a grinding of wheels, and I was lifted up on the mattress by pulleys and carried into the bathroom where I was dumped into the waiting bath water. Very soon I was lifted out and dried by a revolving towel. As I started to take a step the floor began to move, and a chair was thrust out from nowhere. ' Around the bend in the hall the floor stopped and a rack of some twenty-tive suits or more was pushed in front of me. A short distance and the floor again stopped and out of the ceiling came a rack of shoes. Each pair was equipped with rubbers, as I had pushed the button for clothes for stormy Weather. As the floor moved on, I noticed a door ahead opening by itself, which led into the dining room, and as I came in I saw a chair moving out which Cas I sat down in itj moved up to the table. At my right was a row of buttons labeled, pancakes, cream of wheat, bacon and eggs and other delightful breakfast things. After a hearty breakfast I was carried swiftly out on the front porch, clad in a rain' coat and a hat which had been put on the minute I left the table. N. B. There was only one flaw to all this I had to push the button. Morley Warren Rhythm club The rhythm club has met in the girls' gym every Friday at clearing hour since the begin- ning of the school year. ' The club was started by Mrs. Sanford and she has acted as its sponsor. The purpose of the club is to have its members know and feel rhythm. We have made tine progress during the year and our first big project was clogging. We are now taking up Greek Friezes, working with balloons and scarfs and are spend- ing the time now in developing the folding and unfolding of a flower. At the first of the hour we all take different back exercises, folding and unfolding is among them. After we feel relaxed and free, we tran- slate different music, each telling what story she thinks the music tells. Then we practice the frieze work. Follow- ing this we have a few minutes of free play. The club membership is about thirty and to enjoy the work one must take it seriously. Dorothy Warne iQ :- ,f -. ,. .

They also study different occupations. All seventh and eighth grade pupils study educational and vocational information. The ninth grades study vocational civics. All 7B pupils study how the world's work is done and how to be successful both in school and after school days are past. They study habits and personality. In the 7A classes pupils plan educational futures. They read Stories of the Day's Work, and biographies of successful men and women. The 9B3 and 9A3 groups study vocational civic, make charts, and keep notebooks with pictures and information of different kinds of occupations, woodwork, cabinet, woodturning, forging, sheet metal, machine shop, cement, plumbing, printing, and electricity. Girls have foods clothing, bookkeeping, typing, art, cos- tume designing. In 8B classes all pupils learn how to apply for a position, write letters of application, and start the study of occupations. They write business letters to see if they can write an ap- plication that will succeed in getting a position. In the 8A classes pupils study occupations and get practise in filing and learn about junior office work. By studying the different kinds of occupations, the boys and girls learn about the work they would like to do and also what they are best fitted for. The Central Junior High School counselor is Mr. B. F. Staebell. If a boy or girl is behind in his studies he goes to Mr. Staebell to find out how he can improve. Pupils also go to him to get help in choosing an occupation or getting a job. Home room teachers are also counselors for their groups. This year all vocational boys took the Stenquist Mechanical Aptitude tests to help them find out their mechanical ability. Viola Haefele and Martha Dubay Why Some Roses Climb and Others Do Not Once upon a time, there was a beautiful bush of roses. This bush of roses loved to stay at home and have ber friends admire her beau- ty. There was also another bush of roses who loved to stay at home, but her petals did not fold as closely as did the others, nor were they so fine, and just because she wanted to be dif- ferent, told everybody that she longed to climb away. One day Mother Nature heard her conver- sing with some of her neighbors, and she though she would give her a chance to climb and be different from her friends, so touching her with her wand, she said, You may climb all you want to, dear rose. So the rambler-for that is what the people call her-has been forced to climb ever since while the other roses may stay at home in peace. Clara Reinke Limericks From The Vocational Classes There was an old man from Calcutta, Who always used to stutta. He screwed up his face, When he tried to say grace, That poor old man from Calcutta. Gerald Bark There was a farmer from Wooster, Who had a very fine rooster, One day it died, The farmer he cried, Now it does not cry like it uster. Doris Perkins There was a woman from Wheeler, Who went to a funny old dealer. She asked for some bread, She gave her some thread, That funny old dealer in Wheeler. Freda Arndt There was an old miser in Siam, Who said, There's no one so saving as I am. Giving a dime He considered a crime This stingy old miser in Siam.
