The years have numbered only four Since first we gained thy portal— But four, and thou hast left to us An heritage immortal; For here we learned not only facts Close bound by rules and study, We entered in thy healthful sports, And we grew strong and ruddy. We learned not only narrow laws To train alone our talents, To counsel us for Life’s real school Our tasks were made to balance. Ah! Classmates, not the stinted view, The statement narrow-minded— Life wants not him who stands aloof Wit prejudices blinded. But Life does want the character With grit and strength anil vision; Who laughs at wit with other men, But laughs above derision; A man not limited to rote Or formula or table, But who can estimate his world With judgment sound and stable. These are the traits we should have gained, As well as wit and learning— These have we gained, so 1 believe, As on Life’s road we're turning; And since we have, we may well know' Where’er we cast our lot, Wc owe success and future fame To thee, our school, Charlotte. Lyman H. Butterfield, Class I’oet. 23 T H E W IT A N SHOEMARKS IN A CONCRETE WALK Being a brief history of the Class of 1926 “Ho, hum,” I sighed as I settled for my sixth period snooze. Then the jolly old Maytime sun streamed in the window, the hard-wood seat softened and I stretched my legs. Drifting thoughts, well—they just drifted, till a dreadful one happened along and casually reminded me to attend to this here class history. I shivered as I had on a certain October evening long ago and a series of painted faces with braided or molasses-covered hair passed by. Stockinged feet thumped up dark stair? covered with prickers. Whack! A ballplayer made a homerun on the feat of someone's trousers. Then oysters—ugh! And cold water! I awoke promptly, then found my fing- ers immersed in the inkwell! But I laughed all the same—the old mem- ory was still 0. K.—I hadn't forgotten that initiation of four years ago. Again the hum of words and the generous sun compelled me to slum- ber. 'Fifty-nine whirling dervishes—no it wasn't — just fifty-nine frantic freshmen holding their first class meeting and electing “Prof Butter- field (the younger) and “Wally” Sex- ton and a certain Miss Rhoda Decker as officers. And then, weeks later, came a super-extra special Frosh Re- turn Party where good dancing and punch were returned for that some- what “evil” initiation. The thoughts were coming faster now and in greater variety—things that had happened at undecideable times. The Lion Tamers' Club, the good old-fashioned assemblies in the attic, summer days and study hall “or the campus” beneath the ancient, tranquil oaks, a ten to eleven score when East High and Charlotte met, Miss Abbott’s “Sunset Class, on.' Frosh teams, the surprise we enjoyed one opening day when we found the school renovated and enlarged by sev- eral new class rooms, the library and the librarians, the operettas. More memories came, of former all-schol- astic athletes, of successful “skips to Fang's, of the first eighth period, of new class members and ot former ones. “Describe a business cycle the Economics teacher said. I awoke and, with usual stupidity, mentioned that it might be a two- wheeled vehicle with handle bars and wire basket on the front of it. That was that, and I again nodding. More thoughts, of the smil ingest and reddest-haired school-marm in town, our advisoi; of uproarious student elections, of Senior-girl candy vendors, of the famous “Ballyho Bugle.” A million more memories whizzed along, each bringing a touch oi humor and tinge of sadness because they were over. I thought of the schoolhouse itself, grim and prison- like on a wonderful spring morning when a fellow felt that he must ski]) and then peaceful and lovely and such, making him feel sad on a late after- noon when things are quiet with just one bird in the trees and the low sun behind them that cast little spots of light and shadow—of passive alienee that rested him but still made him feel like the very devil for not having les- sons finished or being tardy or things like that. B-r-r-i-ang! — Seven o’clock — time to get up—no, guess it isn't—just the period bell. Another day almost done. Gonna get out of this doggone school for good soon. Wonder will I draw a blank diploma? Oh, well! wx had a good time while it lasted! John Konath Maher, Historian 21 T HE W I T A N THROUGH A PINHOLE AND WIIAT THE PROPHET SAW THERE Two long, lean, lanky gentlemen with prominent noses and high, in- tellectual foreheads, one of whose hair was partially combed (1), the other of whose hair was partially uncomhed (2), gazed in bespectacled toleration at a third long, lean, lanky gentleman whose hair was red, and whose bristl- ing, ruby beard only partly ensconced r.n enormous mouth which, it was said, had attained its dimensions through continuous conversation (3). The third gentleman was engaged at the mo- ment in an injunctive harangue, which was at such length that he whose hair was partially uncomhed at length felt called upon to belabor his head with a milk bottle; whereupon that person, proclaiming to the world his recent assassination, prepared to depart, and was only prevented by the incident of being accosted in the doorway by a short individual of prodigious rotunl- ity, who bore in his right hand a bil- liard cue and balanced upon his head a chess board (4). Recognizing him, the warring parties became reconciled for the moment; but were soon in the throes of strife again. The very house rocked on its foundations, and suddenly leaped like n thing alive high into the air, and continued its ascent with enormous ve- locity. He of the partially uncombed hair explained the phenomena by ref- erence to physics, saying that the flight was due to the vast amount of hot air in the room. He of the prodigious rotundity bethought him- self of Einstein’s theory; producing a pin he pushed it through the floor. Being displeased with what he saw, when he had applied his eye to the hole thus made, he thrust the point into the red-headed person. The consequent flow of heat was all that could have been required, and the ascent was faster than before. See?” he cried, or rather listen: by Einstein’s thory of relativity, if you could go far enough away from the world and get beyond the rays of light leaving the earth at that time you would see what had happened then, acted over again for you. We have done that. Here, take the pin an 1 make holes for yourselves; you could see nothing by looking through a larger hole than one made by a pin.’1 The others did this, and, applying their eyes to the holes, were con- fronted by the scenes that had taken place in the year 1935. I see,” said someone at length, ob- serving a sour, middle-aged (5) man at work before a desk, that the author of ‘Sphinx in French is writing a sequel to that piece of work.” Entitled ‘Sphinx Everywhere,’ I suppose.” Two gentlemen emerged from the side entrance of a theater, one clad in a gym suit, somewhat the taller of the two, although neither was of a height that would attract attention. He was also more athletic appearing, and cast a basket ball about with groat vigor for a man of his age (6). The other protested, apparently, from time to time, hut to no avail; the man refused to argue. As a matter of fact, both were very thin, because they had wait- ed so long for their next meal; the fact that the smaller of the two (7) had taken Solid Geometry instead of Trigonometry in high school was be- lieved to be the reason for such pov- erty. A deep stentorian voice roared sud- denly, Look!” All to be seen was a vicious old Latin teacher, keeping up the reputation of her race. Don’t you remember her? The conductors used to let her ride half price; she was out of college before they found out (8).’’ In the principal’s office sat an arro- gant, aggressive lady, quite unlike herself of former days, devoid of all the quiet, demure shyness (9). They change like that sometimes,” mur- mured the r'eep voice. Those two will never be white again; while they were waiting for a minstrel sho v to begin they happened into a bakery where they hid tn an oven to escape a policeman. The black was baked in.” (10) On a street corner stood a short, wide, thick lady with fanatic eyes (11) , waving a bone, in an address to a large audience, in the very front of which was a tall, handsome person (12) smoking a cigarette. He was a minister’s son; he listened to this lady's speech every night without fail. He never was able to decide whether the lady knew anything but was con- vinced she would never stop talking. A large lady (13) and a little one (14) some seven seats apart in a trolley car were telling each other they would come over tonight. 1 should think they’d have enough of each other by this time,” muttered a 25 T H E W I T A N pin-hole gazer, '‘they haven’t changed any. A tuft of yellow (15) meandered gayly down the street, to enter, after a while, a little shop. It merged soon, accompanied by a short, little person wearing a green hat (10); she had been a mathematical prodigy in school, which may have accounted for repeated re-election to the mayor's of- fice. ,4I voted for her,,f remarked the deep voice. As they went down the street, a slender, calm-appearing form (17) gazed after them; she seemed too cultured to be engaged in the millinery business. Her partner (18) smiled slightly as her arrow-straightness joined the scene. “Looks as if I would have to get my own supper, growled he whose hair was partially combed, as the social light of the city left her home (19). A bright young man, with hair the color of a carrot upon whose should- ers (20) rested a lean, muscular man (21), awaited the starting signal. “Oh, I read about this in the paper, said the crimson verbosity, “they’re mak- ing a dash for the pole. The big fel- low will jump it when they arrive. A tall fellow appeared to giggle as he fired the gun (22). No doubt he was thinking of the great advertising value of this dash. A grouchy-looking assistant (23) noted something down and he and his boss left the field together. A slight, young lady, by long prac- tice regarded as the best penman in the world (24), was tearfully explain- ing the sudden disappearance of her husband to two alert people, the world’s best detectives; one of whom adorned as she was by huge horn rimmed glasses, had started as a news editor on a school paper (25); liking detective work better, she had not con- tinued in a journalistic profession; the other (2(5) had given up a position in the moving pictures. They caught the culprit in almost no time at all. He had been lead astray by the en- terprising manager (27) of the local basket ball team, a man who had gained much valuable experience in that line, as well as in others, during his high school course. The last seen through any pinhole was an open air studio, maintained by four artists: a tall (28), a short (29) and a small (30). They posed alter- nately. The small one did the work; the others pretended to. There was another (31) who really ran the place, but she never showed herself. A tall lady with light bobbed hair (32) at- tempted to enter, but was threatened with arrest; she left. The four in the uprooted house were never seen again. He whose hair was partly uncombed wrote this manu- script, but he finished it late, and lost it, as it was his custom to do with everything. It was never found. Baxter Waterhouse, Class Prophet. 2f THE WIT A N THE WILL OF THE CLASS OF 1926 They say it has come to pass, That ev’ry graduating class Possessed of a ouite sane mind Must make a Will and leave behind To class or teacher or to student Useful gifts both wise and pi udent. The June class nineteen twenty-six, Appoints Miss Doehler executrix; Since she starves him, wo believr To her thin dog some bones we'll leave. To Mr. Bird, for all his life. We leave a private pocket-knife, To magnetize or cut candle-wax And help expound all helpful facts. And to Miss Goff, to ease her fears, Assurance, thru the coming yeais, That she need never make the plea A plaintive sound “Do all agree? We dumbly give agreement now To what, and where, ami when, and how. To our fresh friend, John Donoghue, A self-silencer, some tape and glue, With instructions for the use of same. Curling iions, with fancy name, We leave Gale Evarts, just in case One still could recognize his face Should those ripples leave his hair, Now permanent and debonair. Konath's suspenders we donate (Without his knowledge of their fate) To future cheer-leaders, with the hope They’ll like them more th:n belts or rope. Coach Chamberlain, excuse pads pink; He’s tired of using blue, we think. Pat Wharity, the right to doze, Sleep, (or some method of repose) Thru English, French or History And his fifth term of Geometry. To Norman Scheer we leave the same, For his classes vary hut in name. Now all regrets are truly ours, We can leave nothing to Peg Pow’rs; She takes what she wants, none doubt it, With permission, or without it. There’s another reason, sad to say, We have no more to give away. Testator: Margery Wrattcn. Witnesses: Herbert Snelgrove, President Luis Wegman, Secretary 27 THE W1TAN NORTH SEA LURE I do not long for a life of ease, With a book and an easy-chair On a well-kept lawn, with a gentle breeze Fanning my graying brown hair. I do not wish for a rich-man’s place, With its cares and troubles and bores; But I long for a ship that could set the pace Ahead of the gale that roars. Then I’d head for the north, where the sea is blue, And the ice-floes grumble anil groan, Where the albatross wheels, when the day is thru, And the chill biting ice-winds moan. For pleasure I seek, in the northern seas. Where a man is a man thru and thru, Where he’s hale and strong foi a hearty song And the blood in his veins runs true. And there I'll be gay and willing to die, When this last wish is fulfilled; And I’ll seek my rest, for I'll know that the best Has been given, when my life is stilled. Harold C. Snyder TIS SPRING Hark! the birds sing, Among the blossoms gay, Just a sweet, low hymn At the close of day. Now day is done, Thru the woodlands ring The cries of forest brothers, “ 'Tis spring, yes, ’tis spring! Nellie Weeks. 28 THE W 1 T A N DEAD-LINE Twas the night before the dead-line, and all through the place Every in-mate was running as if in a race, For the Witan was forming, and had to be made Before the last ray of the daylight should fade. Miss Sharer was panting like a dog held in leash. She had to—the finish was just out of reach. Our Baxter was fuming o’er some poor writer's junk; Lyman was wailing that the paper would flunk; Charlton was swimming in a maze of white sheets Ol advertisers’ copy. In the various seats Were readers galore, with their blue pencil marks Running all o'er the paper. The poetry sharks Were filling the waste-baskets with poor poets’ stuff And proof readers also were getting quite rough, For printers and setters were going all wrong, Putting slugs in too short and lines in too long. Galley-proofs streamed all 'round the room. Students’ copy was flying to waste-basket doom, Yea, the Witan was making, but, oh, how so late. Yet the Witan was rushing to make dead-line date. A week now has passed, and in our old den The posters are up. But nine out of ten Must be changed all around, for the Witan will come A week from the date when it's s'pposed to be clone. John Donoghue MY PRAYER Sweet are the notes from the honey'd throats which carol at ev'ning-tide; In the purple hush, the hermit thrush has avoice which few have vied. And who but hark when they hear the lark, which is the Briton's pride? Rut the robin's song in the morning And the wren's sweet voice thru the day, The pigeon's call in the twilight— These are all for which I pray. Some may quest for the bunting's nest, for his glorious color and coat; The gold high-hole and the oriole in scarlet and marigold gloat; Tho’ most men pray for plumage gay— on burnished brilliance dote— The robin's song in the morning, And the wren's sweet voice thru the day, The pigeon’s call in the twilight— These are all for which 1 pray. 29 T H E W I T A N RULES Aristotle, Pericles, And. old Eratosthenes; Poor Alcibiades, Unfortunate Demosthenes— It must have been very hard With such long names on your card.

Must you have made them thus and so To be a poet long ago? My words are not o'er-polished art, Hut surely they cry from the heart; No coat, I know, however choice, Would change a thrush’s magic voice, Why cover up a meaning pure With mystic words and forms ob- scure ? I’M GLAD, ARE YOU? How good it seems tc think that we Have finished shoveling snow Writh coal at fifteen dollars per, Wc bid cold winter “Go!” The robins chirping in the trees, The crocus peeping through, The pussy-willows bursting out Bring cheei to me—and you. How glad we are to welcome spring The time when all feel gay; When cold hard winds nave ceased to blow And work is turned to play. Evelyn Gallery, '28. CHER1E, ADIEU “The winds of fate blow strong, Chorie, and the time is not far off.” “What mean you, my father?” Naught, let it pass.” A sudden gust of vicious wind moaned down the chimney and tore at the embers on the health. With undulating swift- ness the girl crossed the room and gazed at the red gloom-dusked sky. A Hash of jagged greenish-white tore the dead-silk canopy overhead. The booming thunder, like the roll of countless drums, swelled, cresccndoed, blared its triumphant paean of night —then all was still save the groan of the pain-wracked wind. The eyes, deep ocean-blue and slightly glazed were half-closed. A stray breath of wind played with the white mane of his hair. “The cannon, Cherie, they are come?” “No, my father, ’tis only Thor toy- ing with his hammer in the heavens.” A dreamy smile flitted and danced in and out of the seams of the gentle old face. Quietly his eyes closed and his head ceased nodding to the dance of the fire-goblins. Far off on the horizon a rent ap- peared in the purple-dark canopy and a white stream of light peered hes- itatingly forth. For a moment it wridened in piercing beauty, and the snarl of the wind changed to a low song as it bore a gently soul through the rift in the canopy to fairer lands beyond. An entrancing sweet tremulous smile played oddly about the corners of the girl’s mouth as she gazed through the window, for she had seen, and turning to the now still form, she knew. Clifford Carpenter, ’27. WINDOWS Why is it that on cold days the window nearest me is the one always raised? Whether in a street-car, at school or at home, some fresh air fiend (with two or three sweaters on) remarks, “It’s getting terribly stuffy in here,” and opens the one window in the whole room through which the wind will blow directly on me. The fiend invariably removes himself from the immediate vicinity of the gale usually affected. Since vacating for me would mean the gathering of mis- cellaneous papers, books, packages, and disentangling myself from the desk or chair, I remain, shivering and miserable. On warm days, whatever window’s I open are immediately closed, with the explanation that the draught is disturbing someope. 1 smile and suffer. Whatever the dictionaries may soy, a window is a contrivance from which to drop and break valuable articles, through which worthless ones are blown, and by which much discomfort is derived. 30 T ii E W I I A N THE THINKER We have all seen pictures of that famous Greek statue of a man in deep thought; his eyes gaze fixedly on the ground; a broad hand supports a fi. n chin; head bent with the weight of a massive brow. The sculptor has rightfully called him The Thinker. Of what is he thinking? Is it of some new theory that will rival those of Aristotle ? Of a new style of archi- tecture that will make the great temples of the Acropolis seem un- couth ? Perhaps he is thinking of his past achievements, on account of which men universally acknowledge him great. His thoughts may ba centered on some lonely isle, on home and friends. He is about to die; he is thinking 01 his life oi its triumphs ant1 ne- feats, of its joys and sorrows, of its peace and love or turmoil and hate. He is an orator and statesman who would The applause of listening sen- ates command! a great public ques- tion confronts him: the invasion of the Persians, or war with Sparta, or with Macedonia. He is a philosopher; he is putting the eternal thoughts of Socrates and Plato to shame; he laughs at Zeus and Athena, scorns their tawdriness. Why wonder what this figure is thinking? His head is of solid marble! Charles Strobel, ’28. A GEOMETRIC AXIOMDENT The bootlegger had intercepted the boundary line between the areas Can. and U. S. A. with a load ot rum and other products and was constructing the locus of points equidistant from the railroad line, D. H., taking the direction of N. Y. Suddenly the road made an angle and intersected the line D. H. diagonally at a point X. A locomotive was describing a curve in the railroad line and heading for points south. The engineer was sounding the whistle for the intersec- tion, warning people who did not wish to go west.” I can make the opposite side as easy as pi, said the bootlegger, squaring his round shoulders and tak- ing a firmer grip on the direction disk of his rumbus. Rut the powers contained in the surface between his ears would not equal Vfc the sense of proportion of a sick ant of the ark. At this point his cylinders missed twice, a chord intercepted the point of a tack and the rumbus vvas met squarely by the N-gon which caused it to be transformed into a wreck tangle. Although the bootlegger was not eliminated, manipulations had to be resorted to in order to extract him from the quantity of cylinders, chords, twisted angles and segments, the sum of which equaled the remainder of the rumbus. The bootlegger extended a line” to the authorities but could not prove it to be straight because his theorems were not supplemented and did not co- incide with the truth. When his identity was established, he was transferred to a prism called S. S.. at which point he is now located. His number is 1323. “When a N-gon meets a rumbus a wreck tangle is formed.” —Q. E. D. Frank Hutchinson. THUNDER ON THE LEFT Christopher Morley Reviewed by LeFevre This is reviewed by Mildred Le- Fevre, a story in which the movement is almost entirely intellectual, rather fanciful and imaginative, but present- ing the sad truth that as we grow older and acquire sophistication and worldliness, we lose much of our sin- cere natural manner, and thus miss much in life. Some children, who realize what hypocrites their parents are, decide to spy into the grown-up world. In the meantime, they grow up and meet again. Each one has changed and be- come more or less a member of the modern grown-up world of intrigue, except Martin, who has remained the same candid personality, as in his youth. His innocent childlikeness in con- trast to the sophistication of the others results in very perplexing mental struggles. 31 I H E W I T A N MEMORY SEA They were dreams of youth and folly, They were dreams of sun and storm. They were dreams of sunlit high- ways and of skies, They were dreams of seas and sailors.. And of tall ships easin’ home, Where the trade winds moan and stars are white-bright eyes. They were dreams of drowsy ev’nings ’Neath a moon-kiss’t southern sky, With the shadows of the ser. gulls or the mast. Where the gentle breezes whisper Through the rigging near the deck, With a melancholy talc, now slow, now fast. Then came dreams of quiet comrade- ship Through watches of the night With the embers glowing in the old pipe-bowl. And the dreams of solemn stillness O’er a phosphorescent sea, As the ship would softly slowly, plunge and roll. Clifford Carpenter. ON A SUMMER S NIGHT Have you ever had a feeling of in- security. insignificance or humility, come to you on a rather pale, moon- lit night while rowing close to the shore of a wood-hilled lake? The moon now covered by billowy clouds, now clearing herself, sails on like a ship in the night; the muffled lapping and the gurgl.v rippling of the boat slowly cutting through the placid water, and the frequent dull creak and groan of oar locks are the only disturbers of the darkness. Later a light perfumed breeze springs from the pine-covered hills and caresses the water into little rippling waves. The twinkling of occasional lights is seen, then disappears, followed at intervals by others from motorists pursuing a lonely road leading close to the lake; the bonfires of cottagers leap fan- tastically away into the distance on some other side of the lake. The bark of a dog, the shrill cry of a whip-poor- will, the ominous hoot of an owl, a sudden little splash by a fish and the steady, sleep-lulling song of the crick- ets from the tall grass by the shore make the night a symphonic poem. William B. Christie, ’27. AT THE PICTURE SHOW “Well, just in time! Isn't that luck? ’ Isn’t her dress darling?—Oh, what’s he gonna do now? Say, you oughta see the darling dress I got. It’s blue trimmed with—-look at him! Why don’t he save her? Did you ever? —Well, as I was saying, it’s blue trimmed with gray. It’s the sweetest thing; only thirty dollars.” Did you go to the Lyceum last week?” No, what was it? Pat Rooney?” Yeah, and you oughta see his son Charleston! Boy! He sure takes the cake.” Here, want a piece of candy?” Yeah, thanks.” Look, Ruth, there's two people going out up in front. Let’s go up there.” Ah—peace at last. Ma,—here's two scats.” Bobby, sit down and behave like a good boy.” ‘‘What's it say, Ma?” The villain still pursues her—” Ee a good boy now and don’t ask so many questions.” Oh Ma, is he going to climb the tree?” Yes, I guess so; now keep still.” What's he gonna climb it for. Ma?” CONTENTMENT I live in a quiet suburban street which is neat and trim. We all have modest gardens filled with roses and wild grasses, trimmed and seeded. Hollyhocks blossom primly, all stand- ing in a row. At dusk when I come home, tired, after the day’s weary business, I no- tice that they are clearing the ground to build a house on the vpcant lot next door. There is peace in this wind- sheltered little street. In the evening I often see other tired business men watering the eager roots of drooping summer flowers, and the barefoot chil- dren wiggling their toes in the wet grass. The hose leaks and sputters but we do not mind things like that, for are we not leading n life of peace? Ethel Butler. 32 THE WIT AN CAES. COMMENT. LIBER 9 A great gong sounds, “Make way! Make way! Caesar approaches! ’ Caesar dashes out of the House of Senate, jumps into his Collegiate Ford, nearly ripping his plus sixes, and with his rattling good car drives hastily and recklessly through the Roman vias out to the eighteen hole golf course at Pompeii. Leaping out of his four- cylinder gasoline destroyer, Caesar grabs his golf bag, calls a caddy and approaches the tee or teer. A special race of men with flat noses are used as tees. After ploughing up several tees Caesar manages to land in the rough. Here we will leave him to fill his plus sixes full of burrs. What can it be ? A fire or the erup- tion of Mount Vesuvius? Gongs, bells nnd horns dong. Motion picture cameras are being ground at a reck- less rate. Flivers full of Milites duck hither and you, finally getting into a set order before the capital. The great dictator has decided to make a hurried attack on Gaul. With two of his trusty legati Caesar leads the way of the tin can brigade. By forced marches he arrives in the territories of the Galli and leaping off his Michigan chariot calls: “Deselite Milites!” and the fighting is begun. Robert Walker. BR-K-R-R “Obstinui, steteruntque, comae et vox faucibus haesit.”—Virgil. Ghost stories arc alright to read— in the daytime. At night they do not produce as contented a sensation as one might wish. Some are more ef- fective than others. After reading intensively for some minutes until you have finished the story you decide that it’s about time, mildly speaking, to retire. Everyone has gone to bed hours ago and you are all alone—all alone in a world of hobgoblins. You decide you are thirsty nnd you go into the adjoining room for a drink. It is dark in there and just as you arc about to push the button—you stiffen with sudden terror. What is that white object over there in the corner? Br-r-r. It moves!! It moves toward you closer and closer—mew—mew. With a sob of relief you turn on the lights and gather the white pussy cat into your arms. Nevertheless your nerves are still on edge. It was just such a night as this that that murder had been committed! You enter your bedroom again oh---. Something taps on the window! A gentle tap—but a tap sure enough! You crouch in a corner with trembling fear! Then you perceive that it's only the branches of the tree outside. You carefully examine the space under the bed and behind all the rest of the furniture. Finally with a still trembling heart you turn out the light and attempt to jump into bed before the room gets dark. After much troubled mind you fall into a half doze pursued by men with pick axes. In the morning you get up more tired than when you went to bed. Louise Ruestow, '26. FIVE MINUTES IN STUDY HALL If you just sit still and watch the movements of the students in study hall you will have a free circus. Slam! bang! goes the protracter and ruler of some disgusted geometry student. Ah— Choo! a sneeze to jar the monotony. Siss-Siss—some one is talking without permission, and so he gets a front seat. “Kin I take a pen? asks a third-year English student. A .signal is given to some one to go to the dictionary and so they have a glorious time. One minute more and the bell will ring and there will be a grand rush for the door. Charles R. Haes, 29. MUSIC Extracts From the Essay “Music” Music! one of God’s greatest gifts to mankind. It is the speech of the angels, the sunshine of the world, and the fourth need of man. Since the earliest ages music has been known, loved, and practiced by almost everyone. People nowadays do not over appreciate it. They did not have to think up and introduce it, their ancestors did it for them. If it were taken away they would prob- ably learn its value. 4 4 4 4 4 To hear “Moonlight Sonata,” by Beethoven, or “Narcissus,’’ by Ethel- bert Ncvin, to me is like a trip to par- adise. I love and cherish music; I make use of it in my every day life, if only on the keys of my typewriter. 33 T II E W I T A N The successful developments of music took years and years of toil. They, like Rome, were not built in a day. If we had to study this subject like the men of old we would love it more, for humans, it is said, love any- thing that is hard to get. The “Moonlight Sonata ’ by Beet- hoven, one of our greatest musicians, was composed in this way: One moonlight night found Beet- hoven and his friend scouring the streets. Hearing the opening bars of his “Melody in F,” he listened to the voices which followed. A girlish voice asked her brother if he would allow her to go to a concert to hear Beet- hoven's music. Her brother’s voice answered politely but refused, saying that he had not enough money to pay the rent. Beethoven went into the humble abode and saw in the shadowy light of a candle a blind girl sitting at an old piano. Her brother sat beside her making shoes. Going over to the piano, Beethoven asked if he might play. He asked the girl for her music, not at first noticing her lack of sight. He seated himself at the piano, played a while, then got up, but they begged him to stop and questioned his name. For answer, he played the opening bars of his “Melody in F,” and they told him he was Beethoven. His friend stole over and opened the shutters and the moon sent a flood of radiant light over the piano and its player, who, under a spell unknown, guided his hands freely over the keys. He played thus his new masterpiece, and after finishing, went home, to write the “Moonlight Sonata.” Prudence Rawlinson, '30. POPULAR BOOKS OF CONTEMPORARIES The Autocrat of the Newspaper—F.

The color of its slender little body is yellow and blue. Its eye-sight is not very good and consequently it is not allowed out after sundown. If you are the least bit careless when taking it out it is likely to take advantage of you and run away. It is sometimes inclined to be ugly and often spits and snarls at its owner, making him feel timid about approach- ing it. It is very quick in its actions and has to be watched with the utmost care and responsibility. Many people are ashamed to be seen with it as it is not a very handsome figure to be- hold. The things that please it most are to run around buildings, skip over ditches and to climb trees. It is now getting old and feeble from its lively and strenuous life. We will all mourn the death of this ugly but likeable creature known as the “Collegiate Ford.” Lloyd Sandholzer, ’28. 34 THE WIT A N SHOP IN = DAYLIGHT Is Editor’� Note: In the “Shop in Daylight essay contest, the following are winners: First prize, Helen Marks; Second prize, Edith Barager; Third prize, Lloyd Diehl; Honorable mention. Teresa Rapp. The prizes, $10, $5 and $2.50, respectively, are presented by Mr. Frank M. Decker. I ick of space prohibits the publication of all the essays but the first two appear below. THE ADVANTAGES OF DAYLIGHT SAVING “Never put off ’til tomorrow what you can do today,”—then why post- pone until this evening what you can do more advantageously this after- noon—often there is more wisdom in these old adages than we profit by. The modern merchant offers us, not only quality in goods, but also a buy- ing service through suggestion as to the best ways, means and times of shopping. Every convenience facili- tates our purchasing: pleasant stores, delivery service, courteous salesmen and charge accounts. Truly, the mod- ern store is not merely a market but a real institution. There are people who feel that they must patronize the large, uptown de- partment stores, but are their goods any better, their services any more willingly offered to you, than those of the small store in your neighborhood? Emphatically not! And who can say that it is not more convenient to go around the corner for that which you want than to travel uptown for the same article? But why not avail yourself of this opportunity in the daytime rather than waiting until after dinner? There are many cogent reasons for daylight shopping. In the first place: one is likely to he more tired in the evening and it is harder to find something that pleases than it is earlier in the day when one feels more alert and can think more clearly. It requires many times the energy to do the same thing in the evening than it does in the day. Then, too, isn’t it reasonable to sup- pose a clerk who has worked all day will be less efficient, though no less willing, less able to anticipate, under- stand and fulfill your wants? Thirdly, daylight is an important aid in the selection of wearing apparel and cloth. We know that, perfect as is the elec- tric light, it does not show the same colors in goods as does daylight. Is it not a waste of your time and energy to have to change material because you matched it but badly at night? A fourth consideration is fairness to the merchant. Even though he be willing, is it considerate or even reasonable to expect the man who opens his store every morning at eight o’clock to re- main open until nine o’clock in the evening and even later one night a week? The larger department stores wouldn’t consider such a procedure; their clerks would rebel. Do you want to bo responsible for thus unfairly lengthening the working day of the employee of a smaller concern? So we see that daylight shopping: conserves the customer's time and en- ergy; insures more efficient service; promotes more exact and satisfactory shopping, and recognizes the mer- chants’ and clerks’ right to an eight- hour day. As the doctor, lawyer, policeman, librarian and minister, are public ser- vants, so also is the merchant. On the merchant, moreover, depends much of our daily life. Realizing this shall we not co-operate with him to the ex- tent of shopping by daylight both to our own and his advantage? The fair-minded person must answer, yes. Helen Marks, 20. SHOP IN DAYLIGHT “Shop in Daylight.” This slogan means not merely buying before the lights are lit, for many downtown stores are illuminated by artificial light the entire day. It means to shop during the early hours. (Continued on Page 37) 35 THE WIT AN I EDITORIALS CHAMBERLAIN FIELD Isn't it wonderful to just run across the road to reach the Athletic Field! When one has been compelled to take a long walk down a hot and dusty or perhaps chilly and muddy road to at- tend a game, or to play on a bank be- yond a hilly, uneven graveyard, one can appreciate this new privilege. And it is such an excellent field! One whole at the right of the house and barn will serve as a soccer and hockey field when their seasons open, the huge space at the back already has a plainly marked diamond, and there are even tennis courts and a biology class gar- den. One can envy the freshmen for the latter, but it is some consolation to spend the gym periods on the base- ball field, with a fresh breeze from the lake. And that house, brown, weatherbeat- en, silent—what possibilities does it not hold! Of course, the curious one, or possibly ones, of the common mob, has or have not yet had occasion to ex- plore its mysterious interior, but with even a meagre imagination one can see curtains at its window, gay, Huffy frocks Hitting in and out. But with all our jubilation, let us have some regard for the rights of others. (Yes, this is a junior sermon, but we cannot help ourself.) We have all heard the oft repeated admonition, “Keep off the neighbors' lawn. We can almost say it in our sleep. Prob- ably we are sick of it. But we can- not blame them for objecting to a few hundred frisky young creatures pranc- ing and capering merrily on their fresh green grass. Let us leave them as satisfied as we are delighted with our new possessions. SPRING Sometime early in April you come down to breakfast in a leisurely man- ner and find that the dining-room fur- niture is all in one corner, It looks like burglary hut your mother casually informs you that she is housecleaning. And then the same day you go into the attic and find your father engaged in stealthily ruining fishing tackle or something like that. Your sister is trying on hats, declaring that she hasn't a decent hat to her name. All these incidents tend to remind you that Spring is nigh. The hardest time in the year to study is in the Spring time. But ahead in the dim future is the propect of exams! JUMPING THE BUCK Jumping the buck in the gym may be easy enough for some people but for others it’s just about the most difficult feat there is. You stand about ten feet away and contemplate the detested object. It looks like a mountain and its rich brown leather seems like a smooth, wily terror bent upon your destruc- tion. You stand there contemplating it for hours, so it seems, while your heart lodges somewhere between your liver and aesophagus. You breathe a sigh, deep enough to be your last, and like a martyr you rush to meet your doom. You run heroically, if there is such a thing, and leap courageously into the air. The first time, if you have good luck, you manuge to get one foot over while the other poor innocent rises only a few inches and sinks back to the floor. You try it again. This time you either land on top or a-straddle while you struggle madly to regain your balance. The next time you think you are going over but you terminate in a graceful nose-dive. “Just one more try and get u good take-off! A run, a leap and kerplunk! your take- off was too good. (The floor is not too soft at such times.) You have such a kindred feeling when you hear others say, “Oh, I just adore jumping the buck! Don't you love it? 3G TII R W I T A N TO THE FRESH MAN— OTHERS DON’T LOOK (by one of them) I o wjodo-oD noX ll!A ;jo pnojel oq oq auiqqaiuoe OA«q jjiAV noX uatij, 3uiavo||oj asoqq .10 j aidtuBxo pooS n qas 3A«q ||iav noX S40i -uos ojb noX eunq oq} Xq dtqsa«ioqos oq} ci)omo.id oq mou juuqs noX jj sjoj ■uny jo $ MOiuoqdos oqq u«qq joituoj [ooqos iii aq uia noX puc uauiqsajj oji? no ;qi joj turn pu« [bo3 « qa§ “ •■JROU SUIOOU S6H[D jnoX dOOjj O') dpn W«q olD u!

SHOP IN DAYLIGHT (Continued from Page 35) It is a well known fact that the average person produces more efficient work when he is rested. A salesper- son is not rested after standing six or seven hours on her feet, trying to convince a prospect of his need for her particular merchandise. The salesperson is more ready to serve the customer in the first few’ hours, because she has created an in- terest in her stock while arranging it for the day. There is less confusion and fewer customers to demand her attention nnd she is naturally in a po- sition to serve her customer more efficiently. Usually the seller is more anxious to make a sale at this time than later in the Hay. After a certain time her interest is her total sales decreases. There are also many reasons why the buyer should shop in daylight and all are benefits. It is more comfort- able and this is one of our first thoughts. Comfortable because the air is cool which gives a certain feel- ing of restfulness and freeness. There is, of course, a smaller crowd because people find it impossible to do their purchasing until later in the day. An- other thing—why not give these peo- ple a chance as well as the salespeo- ple ? The customers scope of selection has a wider range because stock is fresh and unsoiled. Therefore the early customer shops in comfort, is served by an agreeable clerk, avoids the crowd and finds a larger assort- ment of merchandise. The last minute buyer is termed as a bother and a sale made at this time is hurried, disagree- able and often unsatisfactory, result- ing in returned goods which is a loss to the store. The good will of a firm may be ruined for several persons simply because one unsuccessful sale was made. Many of these difficulties can be avoided if the housekeeper will realize that good service, agreeable salespeo- ple. satisfaction and good merchandise are the products of an early-in-the- day sale. With the summer months approach- ing which means shorter nights and a possibility of the Daylight Saving Act going into effect in Rochester a Larger amount of retailing will be carried on by daylight. The application of arti- ficial light does not make it unfit, for buying - it is the lateness of the hour. Shop early, it pays. It pays in money, in time, in labor and energy and the result is a contented purchaser nnd n happy salesperson. Edith R.

I I: K W I T A N ATHLETIC NOTES BASEBALL The Charlotte High baseball team has to its credit for this season the fine record of four victories, and only one defeat. John Alofs is baseball cap- tain this year and the team’s success speaks well for his leadership In the opening game of the season at West High, we hit three West High pitchers to defeat the Occidentals by a score of 1) to 8. Laurence Pennington and Galen Evarts. the Charlotte pitching stand-bys, both saw service in this contest. The second contest, played on May 10. was Charlotte’s only defeat. East High won a close game on the Charlotte field by a score of -1 to 2. Evarts pitched throughout this game, and struck out fifteen batters. On May 12, Charlotte trounced the Rochester Business Institute nine on the Lake Avenue field by 8 to 4. This game was loosely played by both teams. Cn May 14. Charlotte went to Cobb’s Hill to play Monroe High. Charlotte won by the one-sided score of 18 to 7. Pennington and Evarts both pitched. The last game played before the publication of the Witan was that be- tween Charlotte and Kodak on the I ewiston Avenue field. This game was won by Charlotte by the score of 4 to 0 after a fast game. FRESHMAN BASEBALL The Freshman baseball team has not a great array of games won and lost to present, but they have uncovered a great amount of usable material for the coming seasons of baseball. The Reserve team has to its credit an 8-4 victory over Monroe High, but lost to West High by 9 to 0. This team will be on hand next year, and should make a good showing. TENNIS The Charlotte High tennis team de- feated the Cook Academy quartet in a fast meet on the Maplewood Y. M. C. A. courts by winning three matches out of five. The Charlotte team won two of three matches in the singles and split even in the doubles to nppn the season in the approved style. Bromley, McLoughlin, Pellett and Scheer make up the Charlotte team for 1926. The annual singles tournament for boys has brought out the usual keen competition. Completion of the courts on the new athletic field has stimulated interest this year. STUDENTS ACTIVE IN INTERCLASS SPORTS Unusual interest has been displayed by the students of Charlotte High in the interclass athletics during the past term. Results in the Interclass basketball league were: Team Won Lost Pet. Seniors ”3 0 1000 Juniors 2 1 .007 Sophomores .... 2 .333 Freshmen 3 .000 The Seniors, by their record, earned the Spalding Trophy for interclass sports. This cup is now in the school trophy case in Room 101. Considerable interest was mani- fested in baseball and track, also. SOPHS TAKE SWIM The Sophomores won the Charlotte High swimming title by easily win- ning the annual Interclass Swimming meet at the Maplewood Y. M. C. A. These athletics encourage sports at Charlotte High as well as furnish val- uable practice for players and uncover material for the varsity teams. 11 GIRLS’ BASKKTBALL TEAM Seated—Edith Hnrager, Tonsio Lighthart, Gladys Miller, Clara Marvin, Ottilie Huber, Row Schwartz, Miss Keefe, Standing—Norma Swigert, Dorothy Hrayer, Ruth Johnson, Ruth JofTcry, Marguerite lleydweillei THE WITAN GIRLS' BASKETBALL Although the girls’ Basketball Team was defeated as in previous years they showed their school spirit in a fine, sportsmanlike manner.

T II E W IT AN TRI-Y By this time everyone in Charlotte High School knows of the Tri-Y, the organization of Junior ami Senior girls. Recently a number of new members entered and were initiated into the association. Visits have been made once a week to the In- fants’ Summer Hospital which were enjoyed both by the crippled children and by the girls. Recently a trip to the Strong Memorial Hospital was made. We learned much about the training of nurses. A supper was given by the girls for the members of the Basketball Team. Perhaps it would be well to describe one of our typical supper meetings. We meet about half past five, just as it is getting dusk. The candles are lighted and their glow gives a contented feeling of coziness. We generally have a speaker. Some of our speakers have been Miss Henckle from the Strong Memorial Hospital, Miss Beecher of the Travelers' Aid Society and Mrs. Steinhauser, the girls’ adviser at Washington Junior High School. The supper, prepared by the girls, is always a sur- prise and a delightful one. After the supper the business meeting is held. Then the speaker of the evening gives a friendly talk. We all enjoy these chats very much, as they are very inspiring. Then a committee either volunteers or is chosen to do the dishes. Although many of the girls are not very fond of this task, they take an optimistic view of it and say, “Since it has to be done, let’s get at it.” Everyone is out of the building by 8 o’clock or a few minutes after. The Tri-Y has done much to create and pro- mote a spirit of friendliness and cooperation. The Tri-Y is one of the planks which strengthen the foundations of Charlotte High School. •I;� SHE SAYS SHE DID T H E W I T A N When this child wanders into school She's somewhat tardy as a rule.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS CONTEST The league of Nations Non-Parti- san Association conducted a contest for the high school pupils of the United States. The examination was held throughout the country on May 7. The best two papers were sub- mitted from each school. The judges of Charlotte High School selected the papers of Margery Wratten and Bax- ter Waterhouse. nance and Commerce and is a member of Theta Delta Chi Fraternity. He is a graduate of the Charlotte High School, having been a member of the soccer team for four years, school golf champion in 1923, and cheer leader for three years. In addition to these activities, Halbleib was a mem- ber of the swimming and track squads, baseball manager and vice- president of his class in his senior year. RETAIL DISTRIBUTION The students of the retail distribu- tion classes of the city high schools were guests at the annual banquet re- cently given by the Chamber of Com- merce. Those taking retail work have found the class both profitable and interest- ing. Through the aid of the money earned by working on Saturdays while taking this subject one of our pupils has been able to continue her high school education. ALUMNI HONORED Roger Butterfield, graduate of 1923, who was the first editor-in-ehief of the Witan has been elected editor of the Campus, the student newspaper of the University of Rochester. We are grateful to the Kite and Key Society of the University of Pennsylvania for the following inter- esting news item: Edward K. Halbleih, of Rochester N. Y.t is one of seven students elected to the position of cheer leader at the University of Pennsylvania. Halbleib, who is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph C.

An invitation was ex- tended to all those who had turned out for practice during the year. The four course dinner was prepared by the girls of the home making classes under the direction of Miss Childs. A gift of appreciation was pre- sented to Miss Keeffe by Clara Mar- vin, captain of the team. After the dinner a program of games and stunts was enjoyed. Those in charge of arrangements were: Tessic Lighthart, Esther Graham, Ruth Jeffery, Clara Marvin, Edith Barager. 47 TUE V I T A N SENIOR BANQUET The Senior class held a banquet on Thursday, May 6, in the lunch room. Gilbert Kirby was toastmaster. An extensive program was enjoyed and dancing followed. The guests of the evening were: Mr. and Mrs. Butterfield. Miss Miner, Miss Childs, Miss Cashman, and Miss Doehler. Ruth Siddons was in charge of ar- rangements. BOOK EXCHANGE The Book Exchange Committee re- minds you that the exchange will be open during regents week for you to turn in the books which you wish to sell at the beginning of next term. It seems almost unnecessary to point to you the double advantage of turn- ing them in at this time; namely, you will not have to carry them home for the summer or find them in the fall, and you will have all advantages of an early sale as soon as school opens. The traffic in second-hand books for this term has been very great as is evidenced by the fact that S440.05 worth of second-hand books were sold. Several of those turned in this term still remain on the shelf. If you have not collected the amount of money due you from the sale of books the com- mittee will be glad to pay that to you before school is out. More than $700.00 worth of new books have been handled also during this term, making the amount of money for which the book exchange is responsible something between $1,100 and $1,200. We hope next year to make ou. service better and more extensive. BASKETBALL BANQUET On Wednesday, May 5, Mr. Butter- field was the host at a supper served to the members of the Basketball Team, the winners of the class B championship. The Tri-Y girls, under the super- vision of Miss Miner, prepared and excellently served the meal. The event proved as much a reunion as a banquet for it united the fellows, the coach and Mr. Butterfield for the first time since the end of the basketball season. Mr. Chamberlain was the chief leader in the evening’s fun. The boys played “Indian’' until the joke became evident. Jack Vaughan got his neatly combed hair all wet trying to help in one of the tricks, and Murphy was the center of curiosity during another of the stunts. Mr. Butterfield handed Alofs a good beating in a blanket and spoon guess- ing game. John Alofs was elected captain of the team for 1926-7. Those present at the banquet were: Mr. Butterfield, Mr. Chamberlain, Captain Vaughan, Captain-elect John Alofs, George Haven, John Lewis, “Sam Snelgrove, Vito DeAntonio, Ir- win Murphy, Harold Steinfeld, John Maher, Harold Wharity and Manager Bromley.
