What a queer, sham- bling old place this country was. (the old building in 1930. if you haven’t caught on yet) But they had to settle down, choose their rulers, and prepare to convert those hardened Gauls to their own customs, i the class of ’36 for those of you still in the fog) So a great mass meeting was called and strange to say, in tliat great country, they really found the grandest lady to pilot them, a Miss Ethel Caragher. Caesar ( James Clark) was then decided on as president, Roberta Hunt as vice- president. and Howard Edmondson as secretary. What a grand time that army of people had during their first two years in the new country. Though looked down uj on by natives it l othcrcd them not. so en- grossed were they in their daily business. A frequent habit was to “cut” a morn- ing session to see some good entertainer in the native theatre and lunch room. (the old assembly hall, first lunch jxrind for you still lost) They didn’t like it so well but what of it! Well, after two years the country liecame reconciled to the invad- ers and when they reached the eighth division oi intelligence the native assembly hall was given over to them tor a party. And what a time they had! True Roman food such as that assembly hall hail seldom seen, and «lancing such as will never again be seen! Stanley Root, in the true style of our old Roman aedile, favored his public by running the old popular instrument, the victrola. for dancing. How thrilled all the young ladies were to dance with Mr. Miller, another native who had consented to show us around during the second year in our new country. Miss Bitter, a guest, aided by conducting a game of Truth or Consequences. Finally came the time when we were entitled to join the ranks of the natives, our first year as important people. The ceremony, held in the assembly hall was an impressive one. At this time a group of people because of superior intelligence, were admitted into our rank to join in the Iir t year. They were naturally resented at first but since that time have developed into part of the cream of the crop. At the ceremony, music occupied a large place on the program. Phyllis W’olz played The Itlne Tells of Scotland (what a job, shipping those over) June 'flipper played Tramnrrel on the flute and James Clark played Chanson Triste on the cello, i He was so noble strumming away high up on his toes) As a grand finale a chair which looked suspicious l cforc-haml collapsed 'ncath the weight of an enthusiastic spec- tator. But that was bound t � happen. At last they were building a new country. That old one bad been used long enough. A few of the natives were allowed to spend part of their time in the new republic, (the new school to you). But in a few years the new city was complete ami the entire country, natives and invaders |Kissed into its noble halls. In the course of the four years there, the old army became steeled to the customs and jxisscd into leadership in many fields. They felt at home and held more parties and picnics as a result. Now. though Caesar (Robert Wright, our president) and his army are ready to leave this great old place and conquer new worlds they will ever rememlicr this place which first trained them in the technique of conquest.

To Miss Goff, wc leave the hope for a perfect history class where everyone does his assignment. We do hereby appoint Miss Bitter and Mr. Tichenor the sole executors of our last will. To them we leave our ever bountiful appre- ciation and the hope that they have still a few liairs not turned gray. Oh, I am (i jolly hum. a jolly hum, I live like a royal Turk; have good luck in bumming ami chuck' .bid never bother to work. Along the railroad track one day A piece of paper I spied: ft said. If we draw your number next May, Around the world you'll ride. f hopped a freight to Albany In hopes and dreams of luxury; Of places filled with milk and honey. To be mine as soon as I got my money. reached my destination Tull of hope and anticipation: I hopped off at the station And proceeded on my way. The hall teas bright and glare-y. And I began to get bleary. With cigar and cigarette smoke Strong enough to make one choke. The din was most unreal; My limbs seemed made of steel. As the number was drawn from the box; I could hear the ticking of many clocks. The number six. six. six. six. one as shouted I started as if I had been clouted. My nit in her was six. six, six. six. one; M legs seemed to weigh a ton. My throat was dry. my chest a heaving felt very diccy and scarcely breathing. I showed my ticket, for it was mine. I heard one say its one. nine. nine. nine. nine, nine. My head slopped whirling. My legs grew light, Well, anyway it was one swell fight, f had awakened as from a slumber Only to find I had the wrong number. LkRov Johnson, '36. Class Testators. tuna hex MR. I.

As children wc entered high scIkxiI. we had parties, we attended many interesting, though not to us. assemblies, we elected our classmates for various of- fices; we. ourselves, perhaps, served our school officially. In our third year a com- mittee from our class arranged the senior party. One of our Imivs. David Gilke- sihi president of the executive council. )ur class, as I suppose every class lias, has artists. Among them are; machinists. Herb Smith. L. James Stone; artisans skilled in parliamentary law. R. W ilson, M. Schlenkcr. K. Ivansou; a French poet. Caroline Brewer; an Knglisli jioet. lma Nathan; sportsmen, Steve I'Bricn. Paul ii t:. i y Hauser, Bill W est� I)ave Kinney; sportswomen, Dorothy Graham, Eloise Mitchell, et cetera into eternity; musicians, “Barb” Btullong, “Bob” Poland, and AU)erta I ec. Then, too, we have made the school what it is. (What is it?) As “f reshies” we traveled between buildings on opposite sides of Lake Avenue until the now school was finally completed. Remember the pounding of workmen’s hammers and the noisy machines? Our intelligent and carefree abilities were devoted to our new school. We continued our service by arranging the senior party in our third year; it was very successful. In our first year we had to use the pools of other schools in order to swim. During this time Harold Shaffer was the school swimming champion. Our heads rose when we saw our own new pool, but soon lowered when the Board of Educa- tion added a prohibition amendment to the constitution of Rochester schools. We hope our followers will find water in it before they have to leave. Meml ers of our class participated variously in radio broadcasts over station WHEC. Among them were George Graham, David Gilkeson, Robert La Pave, Robert Poland, and Kenneth Henderson. Did you know: 1. That one of our homeooms had 100% in 10-10? 2. That D. Gilkeson and A. Halbleib won popularity contests in our sopho- more year? ¥ 3. That our class was near the top, if not the top in donations to the Memorial scholarship Fund? 4. That I). Gilkeson won a trip through Southern Historical Battlefields? 5. That R. LeFave was toastmaster at the awards night supper? Losses as well as additions pursue everyone through life, our two greatest losses were Eileen Guyett who has had a nervous breakdown, and Eleanor Fearnlev who has been forced to leave Charlotte to attend Irondequoit because her parents purchased a home there. But our additions are not occasions for sorrow! We are very happy to have “Wee Willie” West, “Bob” LaFave, and “Bob” Aldrich with us. There are those who say little, yet accomplish much; Margaret Ames. Ruth Turk, Gladys Thorpe, Beatrice Goldthorpe, etc. What could we do without Joe Reardon—or without Betty Wagner to help us on the Wit an t The most dominant factor in our class history is the TEACHERS, guiding us, advising us, and with parental cooperation they have made us in an indisputable sense. We, the class imbeciles (historians to you) instigators of this document ho| e you will regard this as “senior” and forgive our making a class prophecy, more or less, of a class history. Of course, you can’t tell what is going to happen to sonic, or what has already happened to others. Hereby submitted hut not for your approval, Caroline Brewer, David Gilkeson, Historians. To some, histories are dull and dry To them then, this will be null and wry.

Conservation in the School It is well known that an idea impressed firni- ly in one's mind early in life will remain there forever. We are taught early in life that it is wise to save and how wrong it is to destroy. Just so. the child in school should lx. taught the wickedness of destroying the wild life without regard for the future. In school is the place to educate the child on the countless benefits received from our rapidly diminishing wild life and natural re- sources. If these facts were thoroughly im- pressed upon every child’s mind after he had attained his growth he would he a better en- lightened citizen. II. . Xf.vii.LK, Optimates The Alpha Chapter of the cit y wide Latin Honor Society, the Optimates, was formed in 1930. Now there is a chapter in each of the Senior Academic High Schools with the ex- ception of Hast, which has its own society. In order to become a member of the pti- nKites, one must at the end of the 1-2 or any other term thereafter, have at least an average of I� in Latin. This year at the first meeting the active members elected these officers for the Sep- teml)cr to January term: First Consul, Nor- mn Jacobs; Second Consul, Wilfred Shcp- pler; Scriba.

First Prize OPEN season lias arrived for autumn hikes, tinted leaves, chilly evenings, scampering squirrels, harvest muons and—crickets. Tc he quite frank, the cricket season is open all year 'round, but now is the time when all good little crickets, who do not wish to en- counter any had. bad snowstorms, seek the nice warm shelter of somebody’s home. If you were unacquainted with the cricket problem, you would sav. “Mv goodness! W hy raise all this fuss over a |x or little insect who is too big to 1H' a bodily stowaway and too petite t« bring tracks in on the kitchen Hour?” h! but you know only too well that the cricket docs not offend in the visual sense, hut rather, it is an auditory disturbance that he (or she. as the case may be) causes. In mv study of etymology, I have found that the members of the order of orllt tptcra of the class insectu under which the cricket is classified) have four wings; two with which to fly and two as ornaments or protections, lik covers on spare tires. Efficiency is the crick- et’s main theme of life. But here he is with a pair of wings subtracting from his payload and no apparent use for them. The cricket, thinking in line with civiliza- tion. has learned to control his emotions some- what; at the same time life has many trials and tribulations for the orthopter-ians as well as for humans. Drat it all! A cricket must have some outlet for his emotions. The cricket (the following may he shocking but this text is written to show the true and uiKcnsored facts alxwt the cricket problem) puts his hind feet on the lower ridges of those extra flip| er and rubbing them lxick awl forth produces a high pitched sound. Some people believe this sound to he ] eaceftil and consoling while others believe it to lx' a “confounded nuisance. It was found that this difficulty could not be remedied by the segregation of humans according to their likes and dislikes of the sound, because most humans who can tolerate each other’s company cannot tolerate each other's views on the cricket's creak. Therefore it was pointed out that action must not be taken on the human side of the argu- ment. but it was the cricket which would have to he worked on. My only experiment was a failure, but per haps someone in reading this may correct the flaw, thereby saving mankind from many nerv- ous breakdowns.

SMITH.known in In's partners in mischief as Burr, turned his head to the left and in- formed his impatient mother that lie was dressed, washed, and would he clown to breakfast immediately. After five more min- utes he climl cd out of bed. At the same time that Burr had decided to reach for his first stocking, a juvenile whistle was heard in the front yard, directly txmeath his window. To think was to act with the Smiths. In five min- utes Burr was dressed, had washed his left ear. the tip of his nose, and three fingers of his right hand, the ones that held the wash cloth. W ith a clumsy bound he rushed out of the bathroom, leaving three towels and a tooth brush on the floor. He expertly dodged the dog as he skidded down the hall, hit every fifth step of the stairs and finally catapulted at full speed into the dining room table. His mother, in the kitchen, heard the uproar with an en- during and significant smile. As Wilhur Per- cival sauntered nonchalantly into bis mother's presence, the cellar door opened and his father entered the room. Pa?” pleaded Burr. Now don’t start that again, first thing in the morning.” said his father fiercely. “Is that all you think of?” “Mother, can’teha tell ’im that all the ln ys got knickers?” “Listen, son. his father started. “I think that Standard il Stock is—1 mean you're not old enough to wear jxints. Oh hah! What arc you standing there for? Eat your break fasti It’s almost nine o’clock.’’ No! I'm not going to school unless I kin have knickers like the rest of the fellows.” 1 say you are. Who's lx ss around here? That's what I want to know, bellowed Mr Smith belligerently. Now, father, please. said Mrs. Smith. Thai’s how all you women are, always in- terfering an’ trying to make your boy grow up a sissy. Don’teba think I know how to handle boys?” “Of course, 1—” “And furthermore, now that we’ve started. Why did you tell the storekeeper I'd pay him on Monday ' You always commit me to my business acquaintances. You're always nag- gin' and demandin' money. Do you think I'm made of money?” But by this time M’ort Flyn, Burr’s friend, and Burr were on their way to school. They were trotting along in a grotesque fashion, one moment their legs stiff, the next moment they were wrapjied rhnmmily around the neckties, at the sum time administering a severe jolt to the chin. Burr was riding his favorite steed. Lightning, and Mori bestrode his equal!) favorite charger, Mike. Just as Mort had run his lance through the villain and Burr had deftly loaded his deadly six gun. they pranced into a Ik v. resembling, somewhat, Mort's vil- lain. Oh. 1 see. You're tryin’ to put somethin over on me. hey? the villain remarked sar- castically. Mort decided to do a little quick transform ing. and liecame Mort again. Burr also de- cided to drop the cuwlioy act. They cringed hack against the side of a building and turned dazzling, if somewhat toothless smiles on Jack Garner, the villain. Jack was big. |xxir, and a rather diffident bully. He was fourteen and had seen two lioats and a soldier at the Fair- jx rt County Fair, lie was. therefore, an ad- mired and awing individual. Today Jack wore a commonplace, undistinguished shirt, a pair of shoes with a past, and a pair of bulgy, dirty, but gallant knickers. His uneducated eye. very shiftless, fell on Burr’s shorts, a pair of invigorating pants, with French seams and a blue and yellow check. Gimme dem pants, kid. or i'll take 'em.

He shuffled unconcernedly through a pile of soiled and torn magazines, but soon tired of it and sat back to think. The Imy was in an ugly mood. This day had gone all wrong; in fact, the past week or two had been “oft with Boh. Just now there was a problem on his mind that demanded a prompt solution: Is it the host way out to run away from school in search of adventure ami a natural education? This was heavy upon Bob's mind when Sandy sud- denly spun around and informed him. “I'm sick of this school. Bob. and of all schools! Some dark night Pm going to clear out! For a brief moment Bob stared blankly at his companion. Then his whole countenance brightened and he leaped across the room and clutched Sandy’s hand in his own. “And I’ll be with you. pal. he ejaculated. J feel the same as you do about this school stuff. Let’s get out and hum up real adven- ture !” “Do you mean that?” Sandy demanded en- thusiastically. “Gosh ! That’s swell! . . . Sav. what are your reasons? They couldn't he as good as mine, whatever they are.' “That's what you think? said Bob. flopping down upon the bed. Why, ever since I came to this ‘high class' education joint I’ve had nothing but bad luck. But the last couple of weeks have been terrible. First I got kicked out of geometry for not doing enough home work. Then 1 had a row with my English teacher and socked him. That almost got me exjielled. Oh. lots of other things have hap- pened. Today I flunked a I-at in and a biology test. . . . Sounds darn sweet, doesn't it. Sandy ?M “Well, said Sandy, leaning against the wall, “here's a sample of my (jood fortune the past week or so: First crimes the accusation that I've been taking hooks out of the library here in school without having them stamped. Sure 1 was guilty, but I didn’t like the idea of being called into the office about it. So I pleaded ‘not guilty’—and got away with it. Then I was awarded four successive zeros on French tests. And today I was given fair—though it’s really unfair—warning that 1 must show my note book for this term in Physics or drop the subject. Well, 1 haven’t taken any notes. . . . The office told me to get somebody from class to help me—but I’ve got no stand-in with any of those guys. “Let’s beat it tonight. suggested Boh. “Not a chance of getting caught. It'll he a cinch. “Suits me fine.

As the last minute of the following day ticked slowh away. Boh Carlson and Sand Payne entered tlieii little room. The dance at the llollytunc was over, and the girls had been safely delivered to their homes. Ah, what a time! Boh exclaimed. “What rn t: i r sums a dance! What a dance hall! And what a girl! “And what a siveet little kiss she can give a fellow!“—my sweetheart, 1 mean.” supple- mented Sandy, wiping a bit of red from his lips with the hack of his hand. “Yeah! Boh agreed. “But guess what luck 1 struck. Betty is going to let me take all ot her geometry home work tor two weeks hack, so that 1 can get hack in class. . . . She's .raW all right!” “That’s nothing,” boasted Sandy. “Both said I could take Iter phys.es note hook and get my notes caught tip. So now I won’t gei kicked out of that class.” With these happy words Sandy broke out whistling a gay tune. At the same time he spied his suit case laying open upon the bed. half full of clothes. He snatched it up. dumped the contents u|xm the bed. and slung it into tin closet. “Come on. pal.” he then said, let’s get some sleep. You won't catch any teacher saying I look as if I'd been out all night. Xo. sir. . . . And wait till they come to marking my report card next.

When I saw only strangers 1 went into the ollice where I found many of my old grammar school chums. The girl at the desk told us where to go and together we old friends went to our home rooms. When we finally arrived our teacher told us that there would Ik an assembly and school for only half a day. In die assembly the principal spoke and introduced new teach- ers. After the assembly the rest of the morn- ing was sjKMit going to classes, in getting ac- quainted with and meeting many new people. Altogether my first day in Junior High School was interesting and exciting. Lillian I. a no. 9B. As the Milkman Sees the World 'I’lie milkman sees the world when it is first waking in the morning. When lie goes out on his daily route everything is quiet, except for the “clippcty clop clop of the horse’s shoes and the sound of the bottles. Then, at about five-thirty, as lie goes along the street, a light pops on in some house. From a quiet world it slowly becomes noisier and noisier as the sun climbs higher into the heavens. Finally he is making his way lack to the dairy with cars and trucks whizzing by him at breakneck speed on their way to business.

Diary of Kent Ward (The World’s H orst Liar) XSTAKTKD from Rochester in a Ford (Vintage of l‘ 09) for the west coast, niter reading a movie maga- zine. This trip was to see is� llittle it would cost to travel. After tm study of Physics in Charlotte, 1 evolved a plan by which I could travel without gasoline. 1 would coast the car down all hills. Next. I would take Don Bragg with me. When I came to a hill that the car would not coast up. Don would get out in front of the car and talk. This talk. l cing composed of hot «air en- tirely. would rise, creating a vacuum in front of the car. The cold air behind the car would force it ahead. It would hit him and knock him down a few feet ahead where the process would be re]ieated. There was only one thing wrong with that idea—it cost too much to feed Don. Hut I finally solved that problem by hypnotizing him and painting him black and white. He thought lie was a cow and fell to grazing. The hot part of our trip was our lack of trouble. Gosh! 1 got so tired watching Don fix those sixteen fiat tires we had! When we arrived at Chicago, our spare tire looked like a tennis net with the ends tied together. One day we were going over the crest of a hill when a rear wheel came off and rolled down the hill for ahmt six miles. 1 went to sleep waiting for Don to walk hack and get it. We also burned out a lx. aring or two and Don got his face so greasy fixing them 1 had to wipe my face on niy underwear for a week so I wouldn't have to use the oily towel. I forgot to say that Dave Gilkcson went along too. You see. he slept all day and danced all night so we saw very little of him. except when money came from home, or at mealtime. That fellow has more girl-friends than the sailor with a girl in every port. He has 'em every ten miles I that’s as far as Liz- zie woidd go without a breakdown). My leaps and jerks we reached Minneapolis. Dave’s “ole home town.” He is (juite proud of that place and was showing us around one day when we came to the street he once lived on. ”1 know this street by heart.” he boasted. “I’ll walk to the house with my eyes closed.” He shut his eyes and darned if lie didn't walk into an open manhole. We looked in, hut things looked rather black. He was wobbly aftei that fall so we left the town for points South. We wound up (or rather couldn't wind Liz- zie up) near a little town where Dixon Cate is supposed to live. We asked a native how to reach the town. His answer: Well, now 1 reckon it’s just up the road a piece.” I p the road a piece? Twenty-eight miles! I was certainly fagged out steering all that distance while Dave and Don pushed. We called at (.'ale’s, hut a negro “flunky told us he was having his siesta. We called every day for a week, but were always told the same. I guess Dick must have sleeping sickness. We slept on the ground at our camp grounds. Inc morning I awoke and started breakfast. I noticed a number of squirrels around hut paid them no attention. When Dave and Don arose. 1 exjiected to hear a torrent of talk hut —although their lips moved I heard nary a sound. 1 couldn't even hear myself. By that time we were nearly frantic and Dave wrote on a piece of paper—it s only throat trouble we ll go sec a doctor and get repaired. We went t«� the nearest doctor and wrote our trou- ble to him. He looked at our throats and finally wrote back—vour throats are all right. Then he began to laugh. He came over and did something to our ears and dismissed us I 11 he darned if the squirrels hadn't put nuts in our ears! But that isn’t all. ne morning we heard Don yelling at the top of bis voice. We investigated and found that the squirrels had carried him half waj up a tree. Figure that one out. We didn’t like that town so we left in good ole number 1909. After traveling aUmt ten miles Lizzie stopped by the side of a dumj where she fell apart. We buried her in the dump with an appropriate number of tears. The rest of our rides were received on the thumb system. Greeting was given us with due ceremony at home and we were hailed will flying colors—green apples, red. rijie tomatoes and black eyes.

Do not miss this collossal. spectac- ular. thrilling ride on the world s largest and fastest ride of its kind! Minutes of breath taking thrills you'll never forget! Step right up and buy your tickets now!” I looked up at the subject of the excited barker's description and stood transfixed. Like an enormous snake, coiling round and round, up and down, was the Cyclone. A small train of cars stood ready to accept the first group of thrill-seekers, hut 1 was none too eager to be among the group. People around me whis- pered about the one hundred fifty foot drop, almost ])erpc!ulicular. Others talked of the dangerous square curves.” 1 was. literally, scared stiff to be near the thing. But the crowd I was with was. for some very obscure reason, thrilled and excited about the ride, and each was eager to go. Result: 1 had five supposed pals on mv neck, trying to persuade me to go. 1 told them 1 had indiges- tion. I pleaded a headache, but to no avail. I knew, if I wanted any peace for the remainder of my visit at Crystal Beach, I would have to ride on the Cyclone, .so I braced mvself. grit- ted ni) teeth, and prepared to go through with the ordeal bravely. I know I will never experience again the feeling I had when J got into the place re- served for me on the train of cars. I saw my- self thrown miles in the air and finally land- ing in the midst of the great network of coils. 1 saw my softly lighted casket; I felt that death was stalking up and down that one hun- dred fifty foot dnip. After a few seconds of awful waiting, die little train began slowly, ominously, to creep forward. It barely crawled, on,on. on, each minute nearing the crest of that terrible drop, so slow, like a lion stalking its prey. And then, before I realized it. like a thunder bolt hurled by the mighty Jupiter, we went crash- ing down, down into the very depths of the earth and then up again, around curves, under tunnels, down more hills, hurtling through the sky at a terrible s| ced, until the train began that slow homeward crawl. When we finally ranu to a stop at the gate 1 was too weak to move, too afraid to speak. I had a queer feel- ing I would never walk again, but with some assistance from mv friends I got out of the car and into free air again. The rest of the crowd turned back many times to look at the enormous structure which had carried them through tlie air as if on wings, but I never glanced at it again. That weak feeling in m stomach couldn’t stand much more. Phyllis Wolz, '36. WHAT IS MY FUTURE' I Hint has the future in store for me? If only I hail the right to see. .-fill I to work in a factory.

You may tind the numher very use- ful. The senior classes this year have attempted something original in their publication, and the Wrong Number is the result of this attempt. The June and January classes have cooperated in producing the combined issue. The selection of an appropriate cover was very difficult. Many fine cover suggestions were turned in for approval, some very artistic, hut the one was chosen which seemed most ap- propriately suited to the name and theme of the magazine. Throughout the l ook there have been made intentional errors in keeping with the theme. The person who turns in the most complete list of errors (and they must l e real er- rors) within twenty-four hours after the book is issued, will have the price of his ll'itan re funded. For obvious reasons, no intentional mistakes will be found on pages. Before the idea of having a Wrung Xumlier was adopted, the classes decide to depart from recent procedure and have less space devoted to activities and more to literary material. After carefully considering the possibilities of the Wrong Number you may hang up. But isn't variety the spice of life, after all? Members of the present IV-2 class entered Charlotte from fifteen different schools. A1 embers of the IV-1 class came from twen- ty-four different schools to find us.

It is perfectly all right to put out this Wrong Number of the WITAN. but fur us to be that way? Never! In just our own small community, the school, we have some personal responsibilities to carry. T he failure t« accept these inevitably results in dissension, disorganization and gen- eral unpleasantness.

We were talking alxmt safety rules. As we rode. Hill drifted out toward the center of the road. 1 warned him to be care- ful. and just after lie came over to the side again a car whized liv. ‘Vou might have been hit. if von had been in the middle of the road. I warned him. Farther down the road the same car with a reckless driver came to a curve. He tried to pass another car and had almost succeeded when Bang ! it crashed into one going in the opposite direction. Both cars were badly smashed up. hut no one was injured seriously. That ought to teach him a lesson, said my companion. However, some people never learn a lesson and it is always that kind of a pers n who eventually kills or injures someone.

There’s Something About a Soldier IIJTARY service is something no lad should miss. We had a taste of it this summer at the Fort Niagara Citizens’ Military Training Camp. We were accompanied by the following fel- lows from the enior class: Howard Spat- ford. Henry Reisheim, Jack Pople. Ralph Wil- son, and Edmund Grabowski. “Fall out of bed! Fall out of the tents! Fall in formation for roll call!” were the com- mands that echoed in our ears to the tunes of reveille, sergeant’s whistles, and the IooieV (lieutenants) harsh orders at five-thirty every morning. It was surprising how easily one could make profanity a habit. As a way of ajiolugy� mess was served. Then, to provoke the ajxjlogv. there was the policing of the coin pain streets, tents, and officers’ quarters, fid lowed by four hours of the toughest, hardest drill with nine pound rifles, that 1 could ever imagine existed. To tote those guns was a difficult task, but when the temperature reached the hundred degree mark for double time marching h became almost unbearable. The ten-minute rest periods every hour seemed to tire us more, for it wasn’t very hard t « fall asleep.

At the same time we received a physical examination. Those of us who passed were sent to Camp Dix, New Jersey, that night. When we ar- rived at Camp Dix, our life in the C. C. C. had begun. We received a more thorough physical examination and were assigned t« companies. They gave ns our riot lung and other supplies and within three days we were on our wav to the ]x rmanent camps. Kighty-fivc of us were sent to )vett, Miss- issippi. The trip to Mississippi took us through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Ken- tuckv. Tennessee, Georgia, and Alabama. We were quite disappointed when we saw Ovett. We felt much better, though, when we learned that the camp was only sixteen miles from the city of Laurel. ( ur camp in Mississippi consisted of fivi barracks, a mess hall, recreation hall, and an officers' quarters. We were up every morn- ing at 4:45 and had finished work by 1:00. The work in Mississippi was, for tin most part road construction, bridge building, three plant- ing. and making fire lanes. The city of Lau- rel furnished us with recreation, in the form o' three movies, a library, a Y. M. C. A., and ar outdoor swimming pool. The people in Lau- rel were always friendly and hospitable toward ns. The farmers, who lived near the camp were quite poor. Most of them raised onl enough tor themselves. They all raised a least a little cotton, sugar-cane. corn, and watermelon. A very few raised tobacco. After three months in Mississippi an order came to us to move to Trude, Idaho. Our itinerary to Idaho was through Tennessee, Missouri. Kansas. Colorado, Nebraska, and Wyoming. When we arrived at Trude, trucks met us and took us to Island Park, Idaho, where the camp was to he. At Island Park we found plenty of work ahead of us. We had to dear land for the camp, put up our tents and build a mess hall, shower room and officers’ quarters. When tlu camp was com pletcd. we settled down to our regular work Our project was to dear 15,(XH) acres for an artificial lake. The nearest town was fifty-six miles from camp, although Yellowstone National Park wa only twenty-five miles away. Each Sundav for a month the camp supplied trucks for trips through Yellowstone. When it came my turn to go they took us through a section of the park known as The Grand Loop. On this trip I saw several of the beautiful spots and many hot springs and j ools. I was lucky enough tc sec “Old Faithful” when it erupted. On October the 8th, those of us who did not re-enroll were sent by trucks to Pocatello Idaho, a distance of 140 miles, where we en- trained for Camp Dix. At Camp Dix we re ceived a physical examination and our dis charges. I don’t think 1 shall ever regret the six months 1 spent in the C. C. C. During that time I saw a great deal of our country, met many different kinds of people, and had a taste of real outdoor life. I shall always value it as a great experience. Kenneth Callaghan, ’37.

Kathleen was very surprised, hut decided to leave for Ohio that day. Having packed a few clothes, she hur- riedly lx arded an airplane and arrived at the specified address in a brief time. She was amazed to see the residence of her correspond- ent. a beautiful mansion. Everything seemed -M different than she had expected no shades were drawn and there was no wreath on the door. She thought that she must lie confused in some way. hut after ringing the doorlxdl Kathleen was assured that she had arrived at Lillian's home. A stout good-looking woman introduced herself as Mrs. Rush and invited Miss Reynolds into the living room. Being comfortably seated Kathleen noticed the dis- turbed appearance of Mrs. Rush. Then Mrs. Rush blurted out the whole mysterious story. She told Kathleen that there never existed any girl by the name of Lillian Rush, hut that she. Mrs. Rush, was a constant reader of Miss Rev nolds’ page devoted to poems and, desiring t« he thrilled, chose this method of satisfying her desire.

No choice. I listened.—no sounds. Perhaps it was nil my imagination. Why of course, just the wind. But there isn’t any wind to- night. Whatever it is must have heard my teeth chattering before this.

I murmured a prayer and pulled the door open, and switched the hall light on expecting to see, I knew not what. The hall was absolutely empty. The flood of light took away some of my fright.

THIRTY PI YB The Puppet Club Among1 llit new dubs started at school tliis past fall, the Puppet Club deserves mention. Divisions were made into groups such as: making puppets, dressing them, and assem- bling stage property. Some of the more ambi- tious pupils entered into the writing of stories Kach monitor had a chance to take up the work which tost suited him. The officers of the club are: president, Bar- bara Ibid long; chairman of costumes, Lois Dodd; puppet-making, Ralph Wilson; plays Caroline Brewer; typist, Mablc Sager. Coder the supervision of Mrs. Ward and Miss Donovan, the work lias progressed from a mere model puppet to the present prospect of putting on a play. Meetings are held even Monday and are informal. Anyone interested from junior or senior high school is invited to come up and see us some time. MY UKLATEST PLEASURE • Ikitiys i Aicu I'm feeling lonely. find n treasure at niyht.

Prom flu time of Da- guerre. the inventor of the daguerreotype, to 1935 there has lieen a steady development by c. |jcrimcntation. research and discovery until now photography lias been not only perfected but so simplified that a child may have a cam- era and know something of the thrill of record- ing. by photographic means, those events and scenes of greatest interest to him. From a taint, nebulous picture requiring a time exposure of six hours in 1839. we have persistently moved forward to the point where we have today n clear, distinct, artistically con- ceived negative that may he shot in a fraction of a second. Scientific research, the infinite patience of the artist and technician, discoveries of new methods and materials have perfected a process that began with cumbersome plates and evolved into today’s cellulose film, superb color nega- tives, the lighting-swift moving picture ma- chine and cameras which encompass views taken at a long distance and also microscopic enlargements. About ten years ago Dr. Paul Wolff, a � er- man, began to show what could be done with a fast lens, small film, and a camera no bigger than a man’s hand. He tramped through Ku- mjie photographing workmen, children at play, ordinary men and women going about their business, but did comparatively little snap- shotting of news personalities. It was Dr. F.ricli Solomon. one-time lawyer and lumber, in 1928 connected with a great German pub- lishing Imusc, who conceived the idea of using the miniature camera to record history in the making. His first pictures apjx-arcd in the I.ondon Graphic, but soon the vogue for his photos spread to the Illustrated Loudon News and The Toiler. A few years later Dr. Solo- mon was engaged to come to this country to photograph with his “Candid Camera” Wash- ington celebrities for Fortune. S:nee then Candid” has lieen applied to all manners of photographs taken under difficult conditions without special lights, with the type of small highspeed camera used by Dr. Solo- mon. It has liecii used to describe pictures of night club performers and stage acrobats in «action, interior of buses and Pullman cars, 1 roadway’s lights at night. But in its original conception candid photographs are pictures of individuals caught unaware. Betty Brady. 37. Initiations The dictionary defines the word initiation as a “ceremonial admission, as into a society.” Usually this “ceremonial admission” is applied to fraternities or similar organizations. Ini- tiations into high organizations arc for the most jxirt not harmful, hut some very uncom- fortable moments arc given the candidates. Severe practical jokes have been inflicted on students, but mostly to the freshmen in college by the sophomores. 'Phis quite often results in bodily barm and kills any self respect or dig- nity a person might have. The term applied to such an action is hazing. Hazing has sometimes resulted in death lo- calise of fear and because of accidents. For- tunately most hazing has been done away with by students localise of the heavy penalties af- flicted «m them. It is Incoming more and more a thing of the past. There are innumerable ways of initiating fellows, hut one of the most effective is the wielding of the jwddle. If this method of ini- tiation is applied in a short time the victim will lie partaking of his meals off the mantel, so to sjicak. Another harmless hut humiliating trick of the high school initiators is to paint the face of the victim with lipstick or a suitable substi- tute. This brings no end of discomfort for the victim. N on know many excellent methods of ini- tiation and so do 1, but they are too numerous to mention so as to give full justification to any one of them. Of course the victim of the initiation looks forward to the next installment of mcmliers in the organization and thinks he will make it even more difficult for them In this way the new memliers of the organization go through initiation. To the new members goes the distinction of being able to take it. hut heaven help the next candidates. William� W est. ’36. WINTER How ghd I'll be when winter comes. Winter snore and reinter suns.

During Child Care course in ur eighth grade, we girl learn a tew of the simple mod- ern met 1 tods of child training. The purpose of the course, which meets twice weekly, is for us to understand and learn the need of good Ixhavior and hahits if we intend to teach them to children; and to develop judgment in the physical and mental care of young chil- dren. The Cure and Training of Children by Goods peed and Johnson is the textbook we use for reference and discussion during the course. After class discussion of the best types of lx oks and toys, a group of us accompanied by our teacher, went uptown and selected a few books and toys which we thought best repre- sented the discussion I Kick in the classroom. ()f all the activities the most interesting proved to he the visit to the nursery school at ntinilxrr seven public school. Several groups, in a school bus, visited ihe school for observa- tion and explanation of its purpose.

Occasion- ally we went to town aliout a mile away and gorged ourselves on sodas and sundaes. We also invested in a supply of bananas and mel- ons and smiled on the girl in the meat market. The “girl-friends” from home and parents vis- ited us on Sundays and they were very wel- come. They were invited to mess which was worthy of kings. Target practice was the incessant din of twenty rifles, three machine guns, six auto- matic rifles, and five pistols, hut it wasn’t hard for us to fall asleep in the midst of it. Dress inspection on Saturday required 11s to stand in one position for over a half an hour and rifle inspection for an additional hour with the sun directly in our eyes.
