A play It is, and staged 'mid pleasant scenes, Where fresh adventurers do seek the ways Of life to know. Our acts and scenes Come not in sequent train, but mingled all, As is, forsooth, the life that here we lead. See here our actors, too, unheralded By praise from critic's pen. Untrained are they To simulate, so artless play their parts As in the daily round. For that indeed Is truest art which still most truly holds To Nature's common ways. So welcome here, Good folk, to view fair Learning's citadel, The Theater of this our youthful life. .J N ---, 1 N pq 1 4,5 iliaiiwwsvaifiiwaimwawui ' A .All Ill 4 , .

Page Eighty-two n n L A 'Pl X' H. il THE BEACON THE BUSINESS STAFF A Under the careful management of Mr. Myer, the business sponsor, and his assistants, Clifton White and Arthur Faerber, the Beacon has succeeded a second time without benefit of advertising. The co-operation of the students helps to make this possible. The Art classes, under the direction of Miss Knepper, prepared for display the posters and placards which contributed to the publicity lor promoting the sale of the book. Special mention should also be made of the valuable work of our two most efficient and faithful typists, Margaret Berjer and Norma Steines. We are grateful also for the fine co-operation of the Orange and Blue, which was no small factor in making the students Beacon-minded, and was an aid in various other ways. STATE HONORS FOR THE 1934 BEACON The 1934 Beacon, edited by Chester Virga, was awarded first place in the class of annuals, selling for not more than one dollar, published by the stu- dents of Missouri High Schools with an enrollment exceeding one thousand. The award was made by the Missouri Interscholastic Press Association. This issue was dedicated to school life. It was sponsored by Mr. Rosenkranz, Mr. Hutzel, and Miss Saams. ln view of the fact that the 1934 Beacon was pubf lished without advertising, this recognition is especially noteworthy. With this award, the Beacon attains the rare distinction of having for three years in succession received a first-place rating. The two previous issues so honored were the 1933 Beacon edited by Vincent Tiefenbrunn and dedicated to sportsg and the Mexico issue of 1932, edited by Karl Holderle, Mr. Rosenkranz Margaret Berjer Norma Steines Zlfr.

However, it was the task of later peoples to develop this dramatic instinct, The Greeks undertook this task. As with primitive man, their drama took the form of religious ceremonies. Twice a year, at springtime and harvest, festivals were held to do honor to the god of fruitfulness, Dionysus. These festivals were comprised of songs and dances besides the usual sacrifice. Bands of revelers marched through the village and chanted rude choruses, The leader would start a dialogue with the band and the most striking of these sayings were remembered and repeated at the next festival, These treasured sayings finally crystallized into genuine drama, At this time it became the custom to tell, in song and dance, the life of the god the people were worshipping. To make it easier for the people to watch these performances, they were given on a raised platform or what might be called a stage. Gradually, more actors were added to speak individually and the chorus went out of existence. This last development opened the way for the immortal Greek trio of dramatists-Aeschylus, Sophocles and Euripides. When the Romans conquered the Greeks they copied the Greek drama. Plautus and Terence adapted the Greek dramas to Roman life and customs. However, the Roman nature preferred the bloody fights of the gladiators to the severity of the tragedy or the lightness of the comedy. The rising Chris- tian church was prejudiced against the theatre and sought to exterminate it. So, dramatic literature passed from view for nearly a thousand years. Nevertheless, human nature remained the same and the people of the Middle Ages began to redevelop drama. Drama reached its greatest redevelop- ment in England. Here again religion was the basis of drama. Little plays, dialogues, or pantomimes were employed to convey to the people different incidents in the life of Iesus. These performances grew too long to be in- cluded in the regular church service, so they were transferred to the church- yard and given in series. These Miracle or Mystery plays, as they were called, lengthened into cycles and became very elaborate, They proved too trouble- some for the church to give, so they were divided among the guilds. The guilds presented them on floats that were drawn about the village and the plays were given at different spots. The costuming was costly and realistic. During this time the Morality play came into being and these three types of plays gained the approval of the people. France, England, and Spain developed a strong national drama, but it could not be compared with that of England. The next great chapter in drama is the Shakespearean period. Shakes- peare took the cream of previous drama and fused it into living dramatic art. After Shakespeare the theatre declined rapidly, partly through the efforts of the Puritans who opposed the theatre. After the restoration of Charles ll, there was a wild reaction from Puritanism to an unrestrained writing of plays. During the eighteenth century there was no notable work done till the time of Goldsmith and Sheridan. These men developed a brilliance of dialogue and intricate situations that were amusing as well as clever, The real awaken- ing of the stage came in the latter half of the nineteenth century. This awaken- ing was due to new social ideas brought about by the breakdown of old ac- cepted ideas. The father of the new drama was Henrik lbsen, a great Nor- Page Eighty-four :Lanka L A wegian poet and dramatist. His assaults on the abuses of modern society inspired playwrights all over the world, Some of these playwrights were: George Bernard Shaw and Galsworthy in England, Brieux in France, Haupt- mann and Sudermann in Germany, Strindberg in Scandinavia, and Gorky in Russia. In their writings, the individual interested them more than society as a whole. Some of the plays written were light enough to entertain the children and yet were deeply symbolic. The theatres that were built aimed at the beau- tiful effects of the stage and the play. Characters were given the characteristics of everyday people and the plays were brought in close contact with life. The progress of the stage owes its success to the state-endowed theatres which made the playwright and the producer independent of financial success. ln the United States, drama had to get along without the aid of the government. Nevertheless, there has been an impulse for the creation of genuine drama that does not imitate the dramas of European writers. Americas greatest contribution to dramatic art is the motion picture. Since the develop- ment of the vitaphone motion picture, the actors must express their feelings in their voices as well as in their movements. The cheap price at which one may see a motion picture enables people, who are not able to see regular plays, to see dramatic works. In this manner, in its easiest understandable form, is brought before millions of people to educate and inspire. It is with great anticipation that the public looks forward to the development of a modern Shakespeare. f A Xl APL 1 -r-- 5 ' V-,rl lp, I M 1 WS: ' v RSS-' ' Qu, -EE: g ,I e 1:-..::.' - 1Siw:E.f-5 V2 4355: V 15525 Q puns J ss - M r -aks -' --1-. 11 .

The savage man of America gratified his desire, which today among civilized nations is appeased by well-developed plays of the theatre, by acting in his rough and awkward way the myths and legends of his people and scenes of his every-day life. There are three stages in the development of the unique drama of the American Indian. CII When its purpose is to convey definite meaning and is used at a time when the spoken language is inadequate. Q25 When its pur- pose is religious and when its performance enables the people to communicate with the gods and spirits. Q31 When the religious element drops out, leaving only the shell whose object is merely to amuse those before whom it is per- formed. The first development, the sign language, the best example of which can be found among the Plains Indians developed under the demands of a peculiar situation. The tribes, prone to wander widely, had need of a common means of communication, for there was a variety of mutually unintelligible dialects. Also, the dramatic urge of the savage found realization in the animal food cerenioniesg for example, if individual hunters of the Plains-Cree tribe wished to obtain a buffalo, they adopted the following means: One Indian, disguised as a young buffalo by-means of a big robe would imitate the calf by bleating pitiably. Other Indians, imitating wolves, pretended to attack him, When the buffalo came up to the succor of its young, the hunters could shoot it at will. This dramatic means of getting food is very widespread among savages and occurs also in Australia and Africa. The red man also had many dances which imitated the movements of animals, such as the Kangaroo dance, the Emu dance, the Crab dance, and the I-Iornbill dance. The stage setting for some of these Hcorroboreesf' or dra- matic representations, is often very striking. A large, smooth piece of ground is chosen for the stageg poles are set up with huge sheets of bark, painted with totemic designs fastened between them. At the back and at each side of the stage are fires which serve as footlights. In a large semi-circle in front, the women, who act as the orchestra, are seated. The greatest of the surviving religious dramas is the rain-making cere- monies of the Hopi Indians. Some of these rain-making ceremonies are the Snake dance, Antelope dance, and the Buffalo dance. Qther ceremonies are the initiation ceremonies by wh'ch a boy is regarded as an initiated member of the tribe and is allowed to take part in all the sacred ceremonies of his group. They serve to introduce the boys into the myths and history of their tribe and totem. They are the agency through which they receive their first moral teachings. All such fundamentals are conveyed to the youths by means of dramatic representations. War dances, or pantomimes show the means by which the savages hope to win the favor of the gods through the application of sympathetic magic. A war play among the red men, which would have done credit to a more modern society, opens with a man seated on the ground picking a thorn from his foot. I'Ie is expecting an attack from an enemy, as evidenced by his wea- pons and his suspicious attitude. Finally, the enemy is discovered and a con- flict takes place, in which the first man is vanquished. The enemy beheads his victim, when he suddenly discovers that the man is his brother. At this point, Page Eight g-six lV 1 L A in ' I' in the dancer gives Way to a horrible performance in which he tries to depict the feelings of remorse, and has to be revived by the medicine man. To the savage, this stage which is the enacting of pleasure plays merely for the enjoyment of the audience, is of least importance, for nothing is' accomplished by it, but to civilized man it forms the greatest height to which the drama has reached. But the strange, unique, and expressive drama of the American lndian a true drama has evolved, and its slow, steady rise in the dramatic scale is in strict proportion to the rise of mankind in the scale of civilization. .W L vg f Q Q 4 ' ' Q!

LOUIS THEATERS By Esther Benthien St. Louis has made significant contributions in the field of non-commercial drama. The most widely known is the Municipal Theater. This wonderful theater is situated on a natural slope in Forest Park with the stars for a ceiling and with numerous giant oak trees forming a part of the scenery. The stage is one of the largest in the world and is the only revolving stage in the United States. The seating capacity is ten thousand, and the theater is frequently filled to capacity during the season of twelve weeks in the three summer months. A different light opera or musical comedy is presented each week. The costum- ing, the stage settings, and the lighting, all are the work of the best talent the nation affords, and the scenic effects produced by these artists are in themselves an outstanding achievement. ln recent years improvements in amplifying have added much to the enjoyment of the productions by the audience. The Little Theater is another of St, Louis' contributions. This theater offers the amateur actor an opportunity to develop his talents, It was organized in 1927 by Frederick Cowley who also served as the first director, Thomas Wood Stevens succeeded Mr. Cowley, and then Noel Caldwell served as direc- tor a few years. The present director is Frank Cowles Strickland. During the summer months Mr. Strickland directs at a playhouse in Stratford, Massachuf setts. He has also directed for Shubert on Broadway and has taught at several colleges, among them being Wesleyan College in Connecticut. Page Eighty-eight 22. . in kr.:-g::: LM, The nationally popular musical comedy, Of Thee I Sing, was written in competition for a prize offered by the Little Theater and had its first production in the Little Theater. ' The newly built Municipal Auditorium on Market Street is the most recent of the contributions. ln this massive building there are several auditoriums, among which is the beautiful Qpera House, with a seating capacity of three thousand. Here a series of grand operas are given from time to time. These various auditoriums offer splendid opportunities to present different types of dramatic entertainment. Through these three centers of dramatic activity, as Well as lesser ones that might be mentioned, St. Louis is making a significant contribution to our national drama. P The Latest Center of Drama in St Louis'-f The New Municipal Auditorium Page Eighty-nine ST. LOUIS ON THE STAGE By Leone Schulte ST. LOUIS CAN WELL be proud of her sons and daughters who have chosen theatrical work as their vocation. Perhaps it has not been generally known that many St. Louisans have risen to great heights, and scores have been successful on the stage, Not only in recent years have our townspeople gained recognition for their dramatic ability, but during more than forty years St. Louisans have attained distinction on the stage. In the early '9O's a lovely St. Louis woman had risen to the top as an actress. She was Nellie Braggins, who was considered the greatest serpollette of her time. Her most successful role was in Chimes of Normandy, During the height of her popularity she married and left the stage, She died in her forties. ' About the same time a beautiful actress, Fanny Ward, was creating a sensation on the legitimate stage. She was the envy of all women because of her beauty and youthful appearance, Eventually she left the stage: she is still living and is about sixty years old. A few years after Miss Ward's retirement a vivacious, red headed young lady made her appearance in vaudeville. She was lrene Franklin, who became a headliner immediately. She is now playing in motion pictures and is in her fifties. Her home still stands at 2800 Qlive Street. Diminutive Della Fox is remembered by all of the old theatergoers. She was a very famous soubrette, and as a climax to each performance she appeared on the stage dressed in boy's clothes and sang a song, which immediately became very popular. Della Fox was the idol of scores of people. She married DeWolff Hopper and died soon afterg about fifteen years ago. A1 Sears, possessing a very good voice, made his appearance in the old Elma Opera Company. Achieving success on the stage, he went to Hollywood where he played leading roles in a number of silent pictures, He is playing bits at present. Living up to family tradition, Merle Hartwell, a niece of Nellie Braggins, entered the theatrical profession. She was a soubrette in many musical come- dies: at her best in Passing Show. She is now married and is living in New York. In 1924, the leading juvenile in Kid Boots attracted much attention. He was Harry Fender, who played in a number of musical comedies. He gave a noteworthy performance in The Last Waltz. He has retired from the stage. Not many dancers have equaled Lucille Cavanaugh in grace and ability. Miss Cavanaugh was premier danseuse in Ziegfeld's Follies, which is an achievement in itself. She is, at present, living in California. Don Billiken Barclay started his career as a comedian in the Princess Maids at the Princess Theater, which is now the Schubert-Rialto, He was a member of the Mississippi Stock Company. After gaining fame here, Barclay went to New York where he played in the original performance of Rio Rita, as well as in the Follies and in the '4Scandals. He is now playing in comedies in Hollywood. In 1923 there was a chorus girl in the Municipal Opera whose work was decidedly outstanding. This chorus girl was Grace Brinkley, who rose to fame in musical comedies, She held the leading role opposite Guy Robertson in White Lilacsf' She was a Schubert star and is still following her profession, Mary lsabelle Wickenhaiiser, now playing under the name of Mary Wickes, is an understudy to the leading lady in i'The Farmer Takes a Wife, Page Ninety ,- i A lvgl is wr ,ig MM, Win tsuillilulllig one of the most successful plays in New York at the preseent time. Miss Wiclces has played the lead several times and is headed for fame. Ieanie Werick, now Ieanie Lang, has played in several successful shows. Mitzie Mayfair has attracted much attention in New York where she is now dancing. Laura LaPlante, famous cinema star, is also a native of St. Louis, as is Roy Iames who is working with the comedian Chic Sale. Frances Starr is a well-known actress now playing in New York. She is a Belasco star. Other actors and actresses who hail from St. Louis are Ethel Dyer, now playing in Merri1y We Roll Along, Iulia Bruns, Maude Fulton, Bender Barr, and Theresa Maria Wittler. Among the playwrights St. Louis has produced are Zoe Aikens and Augustus Thomas. In 1928 Miss Aikens wrote The Furiesn which is con- sidered her best to date. She is now a prominent author writing for magazines. Augustus Thomas wrote many plays, his best being Arizona, 'iWitching Hour, and Copperhead He died in St. Louis in August 1934. A rising St. Louis actor whose career is of special interest to the readers of this annual is Maury Tuckermann, who is a graduate of the Class of lune, 1923, of Cleveland High School. He has played in New York shows, his best being Cradle Snatchersf' which he played not only in New York, but in Australia and New Zealand as well. He toured the United States with George Arliss in The Merchant of Venice. He has appeared in House of Fear, Iourney's End, 'iluarez and MaXimillian, Pygmalion, i'Androcles and the Lion, and several others. Louise Wright's rise to fame should be especially noted in that she was a Clevelandite in 1915 and was a member of the cast of the Hrst senior play pro- duced at Cleveland, playing the role of the Fairy in Mid-Summer Night's Dream. Miss iWright has a beautiful soprano voice and played the title role in Rose Marie in the Municipal Opera after she had created that role in New York. She was for a time singing over the radio with Roxy's Gang. She is at present married to Lieutenant Alexander George and is living in lapan. These actors, actresses, and playwrights deserve applause not only for the success which they have gained for themselves, but also for the fame they have brought to St. Louis. 5 V PLAY Page Ninety-one Page Ninety-fwo 0,9351 L . A A V ' H Hi, j i . HUM, ' ' I. . ,Q ,,.igI 'I::i:4 ELDA VETTORI By Willianl Smith NOT LONG AGO there was born in that glorious old city of Venice, Italy, an unusually beautiful girl. To the people of Venice she was just another child of sunny Italy, but to Signor and Signora Vettori she was their little Elda. Signor Vettori was of a high ltalian family but unfortunately fate had willed him to be the youngest member and hence he could receive none of the family wealth until after the death of his elder brothers. Being in difficult circumstances, he decided to take the family to America. When Elda was ten years old, therefore, the family, consisting of the parents, two boys and a girl younger than Elda and a boy and a girl older, embarked for the United States. When they reached this country they traveled to St. Louis where Signor Vettori, now Mr. Vettori, and his eldest son secured positions on a railroad and happiness reigned. The happiness was short-lived, however, for when they were here only two years, the father and son were killed in a railroad accident, leaving Elda and her sister Marina to support the family, It was necessary for them, of course, to enter the commercial world. Marina entered the field of dressmaking while Elda pursued millinery in a downtown factory, Her leisure hours Elda always spent in singing. Since she had been old enough to talk her spirit had poured forth in song. When she was about twelve years old, due to her beautiful voice, she was a member of a church choir with middle-aged men and women. Someone heard her sing and marveled at the beauty of her voice. He was astounded to learn that she had never studied and offered to pay for her lessons. This opportunity Elda seized readily. She studied hard, each time attempting to improve her voice. After some experience, she joined the newly formed Delmar Opera Com- pany where she played the heavy lead roles. She then became a guest artist of the San Carlo Opera Company and as a first role she sang Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticanan and was received with much favor. Her next portrayal with the same company was La Boheme. Then came Tosca which some acclaim her greatest work. At this time her sister Marina, who had made exceptional progress in the field of dressmaking, was called to New York City to be the head designer in a large shop. When she was established there she sent for Elda to come to continue her training in the best possible places. Elda studied in New York for three years during which time she sang with many of the smaller com- panies, finally realizing her ambition to sing with the Metropolitan. She created a sensation in the role of Santuzza. The next morning the New York Times printed the following criticism: Elda Vettori stepped into the great stage of the Metropolitan Opera and sang into the greater space of that premier lyric theatre with the complete success of natural endowment, adequate preparation, and known experience. How much better she proved than half the drummed up European debutantes with trumped up European reputation in the old days of exclusively limported' grand opera. Page Nin Qty-three Miss Vettori early won her audience with a voice of dramatic expres- siveness, womanly in its note of pathos, powerful in its appeal. Personal beauty of a special sort had its effect with the opera audience. After this she sang role after role, increasing in popularity as well as quality until at present she is one of the leading dramatic sopranos in the world, being able to sing the lead roles in eightyaseven different operas at a minute's notice. Elda Vettori has reached the peak of her chosen profession. Not only is she a great singer, but also a great actress. Ricardo Dellera, the coach of the Metropolitan, says of her: Vettori's voice is one of sheer, sensuous beauty. She is possessed of talent, temperament, and earnestness while her dramatic ability has seldom been surf- passed by even older and better known singers either in this country or Europe. She is said to possess the greatest charm and beauty ever gracing the stage of opera. Even though one of the leading singers of the Metropolitan, Miss Vettori still leads a simple life and has never forgotten her old friends. Iust after she had achieved her success, she returned to St. Louis and visited the hat factory where she had worked, meeting all of her old friends, even the man from whom she used to buy flowers. At this time also she promised the priest of the church where she had sung as a little girl that she would give a program there. The priest died but Elda Vettori kept her promise and sang in the place where she began her rise to fame. The life of this woman, to whom St. Louis can look with pride, should stand out as a beacon light for those who Wish to succeed. Beginning hinf- dered by having to help support a family of six, she won success, not by Hpulln or drag but by diligent labor. Elda Vettori always dreamed of being a great singerg she allowed this dream to crystallize and worked with all her power to make it real. -rt,-v,4 v v -3. , iv'-',1-',.0sooi-' D 1 m it I 92f'im'?e r , . , 1 MS' gs Y lag D1 W 4559 Page N inety-four n. L--A A 'I ll is DRAMA vs. CINEMA By Virginia Betts THE AMERICAN DRAMA has never rocked so insecurely upon its throne as it has in the last ten years with the advent of the talking motion pictures. The legitimate theatre disregarded the threat of the infant photoplay, and looked to its brief life as a passing fad. But the drama guessed wrong! The situation is reversedg the cinema has threatened the very existence of the legitimate stage, lt is Mr. Samuel Goldwyn's contention that the camera shows the quality of the soul as the speaking stage cannot. A devotee of the theatre firmly be- lieves, however, that the actor can act so as to fit the mood of the audienceg while the actor in the photoplay merely gets into the mood of the director. Nevertheless, the actor has a better opportunity to grow into a characterization on the stage. A performance on the screen is the one and only: the actor may reach the heights of his art with the one performance or he may not do his histrionic ability justice. The photoplays have a larger following than the legitimate stage, for the movies reach millions, while the drama is restricted to a comparative few. Nearly eighty million people, over one-third of whom are under twentyaone, attend motion picture theatres weekly. For the most part, the people not edu- cated to the legitimate drama find satisfactory enterainment in the photoplay. We do not concede that the cinema is too simple for most of us, but it is universal in its appeal. The bringing of the motion picture theatre to the peo- ple by means of elaborate ballyhoo and the low admission prices have been the most important factors in the growing popularity of the movies The motion picture is easily accessible to those with even the smallest incomes. The contest being waged between the stage and the screen is gradually being lost to the cinema because of the legitimate theatres own weaknesses. Cost is the all important work with New York theatre managers, who are never good business men. Wages, cost of production, surplus of theatres, and the scarcity of patrons to finance Broadway shows have contributed to the threatened downfall of the legitimate drama. Nearly a hundred plays are produced annually in New York, only a small percentage of which are suc- cessful. The legitimate theatre-aided by the repertory, subscription, and little theatres, the stock companies, the Theatre Guild, and the neighborhood play- houses-is trying hard to re-establish itself. Of these the Group Theatre seems to have been most successful. The success of their production, Men in White, is proof enough that sensible managing, artistic direction, and the skillful casting of actors of recognized ability can produce a play of merit on a non-commercial basis. For the past three years managers and producers have been mourning the death of the road With a few notable exceptions, the road is lan- guishing. Katharine Cornell didn't find it so when she toured last spring, nor did Walter Hampden, but it is only recently that there have been such signs of the rebirth of the Hroadf' Again, cost is the main element, the cost of touring a show not being recompensed by good box office receipts. The theatre rarely gets to the wayside towns, while the motion picture is shown in even the smallest hamlet. Our lack of a national theatre prevents the legitimate theatre from firmly establishing itself in America, The success of national theatres on the conf tinent should prompt some national drama movement in this country. Max Reinhardt's German Theatre and the Russian Ballet prove that nationalism is the only way to perpetuate the theatre. Page Ninety-five New York has its Drama Society which endeavors to organize an artistic and discriminating audience for legitimate drama. There are also academies of the Hlms which provide for their students a thorough education in the arts and sciences of the cinema. Perhaps the next generation will be more discriminating in its taste for motion pictures as well as stage productions, and there will be no need for movie Crusades. All of Hollywood's energies and most of its money is devoted to producing artistic pictures. Hollywood is ruled by taboos and, contrary to belief, does know the wisdom of self-control. The motion picture producers seem to be in much the same position as the Man and His Donkey in the Aesop fable, for Hollywood knows it can't please everyone. The theatre, as well as the cinema, is a cultural force and an artistic instrument that must be handed down to the next generation of theatre goers. Ten years ago Gilbert Seldes, noted critic, said that he believed that in ten years, if the movies survived that long, they would be no more popular than grand opera, Today, 1934, the motion picture is more popular than the legitimate drama. The high artistic and dramatic quality of late motion pic- tures tend to show that the cinema is growing up. The Barretts of Wimpole Street, Cellini, Une Night of Love, Of Human Bondage, David Cop- perfield, We Live Again, Broadway Bill, lt Happened Une Night, Age of Innocence, The Thin Man, Anthony Adverse, The Mighty Barnum, and scores of superior pictures still in production indicate the calibre 'of the new umoviesf' The Broadway season of 1934-35 is more promising than in the last few years, judging from the number of successful plays now running on Broadway. Sinclair Lewis' success, i'Dodsworth, is still running. fOf the new shows there are many successes. The Farmer Takes a Wife, Life Begins at 8:40, Merrily We Roll Along, and the new Ziegfeld Follies are indicative that the legitimate drama is trying hard to make a comeback. Page Ninety-six PM fd IV' i I 1 is 'kfi!Q 'L2fT A J MASK AND MAKE-UP By Robert Bromley y THE USE OF MASKS in the dances and drama of savage people is very widespread. The use of masks in drama prevailed in earlier civilizations, such as the Greek, and persists in such present-day civilizations as that of Iapan. Masks of tortoise shell are worn in the dances of the natives of Torres Strait to bring success in hunting and fishing. Before hunting, the mask of an animal is worn, and before fishing that of a fish. The Eskimos of Behring Strait hold an annual feast known as the Inviting ln. During the dances masks are worn that represent the totem animal of the maker or some other mythical object. Those masks do honor to the animals that they represent in order to insure a plentiful game supply and to ward off evil. The ceremony arose from an ancient myth that all animate beings have a dual existence and can at will become man or animal. An animal wishing to assume its human form raised its muzzle with an arm or leg as if it were a mask. ln the ceremonies masks made with double faces are used by having the muzzle of the animal fitted over the face of the inna, of manlike form. The outer mask is held in place by pags and so arranged as to be quickly removed when they time of transformation occurs in the cere- mony. The wearer of the mask is believed to become mysteriously imbued with the spirit of the being that his mask represents. ln the No plays of Iapan masks must be worn since only men can act. Male actors portraying feminine characters wear masks with white narrow faces and eyebrows painted high up on the middle of the forehead, the classical standard for feminine beauty. Masks are also worn to represent demons or ghosts, These are made of carved wood with a slit for the mouth and holes for the eyes. Even in the advanced civilization of Greece in the time of the great dramatists masks were used by all actors. Grief was expressed by one mask, joy by another, etc. Not only each person, but also each emotion was ex' pressed by a set face of wood and linen, rather than by the actual countenance of the actor, The masks covered the entire head. The white of the eye was painted on the mask, but the place for the pupil was left hollow to enable the actor to see. Tragic masks had a cone-shaped prolongation of the upper part to give size and impressiveness to the face. As regards modern dramatic presentation, various typical make-ups serve the same purpose as barbaric Wand ancient masks: to heighten dramatic effect by making possible the convincing portrayal of a certain character. Many different shades of paints and powders are used to transform an ordinary human being into a sly Chinaman or wrinkled, weary old man. By the deft application of theatrical makefup we are confronted by a smart aleck clerk in a small town store, his hair plastered down over his forehead and the corners of his mouth lifted in a simpering expression. The magic of the make-up box presents us with an unending pageant of entirely different people. Here we see a negro servant of jet-black hue, an effect obtained primarily by the use of burnt cork: there a witty lrishman with ruddy complexion and pug nose, the result of the application of rouge and nose putty. The heathen Chineen with oblique eyes and sinister mien and the bent old man with parchment-like skin are both the products of the makefup artist's genius. Page Ninety-seven We often complain of being shamefully deceived, yet how surprised and keenly disappointed We would be if, upon attending a presentation of Uncle Tom's Cabin, we saw a rosy-cheeked, golden-haired Eliza fleeing across the ice pursued by the baying bloodhoundsl ln fact, portrayal of the character in any play in the everyday faces of the actors and actresses would seem flat and unconvincing on the stage. Good make-ups aid much in creating the illusion of reality so necessary to a satisfactory presentation of a play. Masks seem to have served their purpose to the satisfaction of the ancients and of primitive peoples, among whom they are still in use, as they are also in lapan and Chinag but in the western World the make-up is the vogue. It has the decided advantage that it makes possible complete mobility of the counf tenance for registering changing emotions.

Goodman is seated under a tree, eating a meager lunch. Enter Indolence, Parasite. Indolence-I-li, there, fellow! What have you there? Goodman'-A bite to eat. If I had a bit more, I would ask you to join me, but as you see, I have very little. Parasite-Don't let it worry you, old man. We can get a handout in the next town. E fThey sit down.l Indolence-Well, pal, you look sort of down-in-the-dumps. Whats on your mind? Goodman-You've got my number alright. I'm just disgusted with all of life. Indolence-You should never feel like that. Let the next fellow do the worrying. You'll find it much easier to get along. Parasite-What happened to make you feel that way about everything? Goodman'-Well, if you're really interested, I'll give you the real reason. You see, I had a respectful home, nice income, and a happy family. I had all the trust in mankind that a man could have. And suddenly, everything I thought mattered in life was gone. Snatched from me by Depression. He robbed me of all my possessions, and more important, of my trust in human kind. So you see why I am so despondent. Indolence-Well, I have seen many a man feel as you do, but I can't say I feel sorry for you, cause I've never believed in the right way of living. A case like yours merely shows that I am right in my beliefs, because you have worked all your life, and have nothing but grief to show for it. I am at least satisfied with my lot. Parasite-Live off the other fellow: that's my policy, and a dern good one at that. Goodman-I'm beginning to see your side, and perhaps you are right. Indolence-fThat's the spirit! Well, we're off.

Indolence-First I want to have you meet my pal, here, Goodman. Goody man, meet Malice and Avarice. As to what's on my mind, I thought maybe you had a little proposition to make us. You usually have, you know. Malice-You're just in time, We're planning to pull off a job up at the warehouse, and you're just the fellows we need, I guess Goodman here is okay? Indolence-Sure thing. Malice-There's some new guy on guard up there: fellow named Charity. But he'll be a cinch, Pfarasite-Suppose we go into your office and talk the whole thing over, Avarice-Right you are. I.,et's go.

I guess these boxes and crates are the right ones. Let's get moving. Start loading the platform truck, and you, Goodman, roll them around to the back entrance. Let's get started. tThey start loading, and when they get one loaded, and Goodman has gone off with it, they hear a noise.l Parasite'-Say, did you hear that noise? Sounded like a long, shrill whistle to me, and that's the warning sign. Indolence-I think you're right. And if you are, we've got no time to waste. Let's scram. Parasite-What about Goodman? l'Ie'll be left to take the rap, you know. Indolence-So what! He's as good as anyone I can think of to take the rap.

Goodman fsurprisedl-What's happened? Where are my pals? They were here a minute ago. Charity-Probably they've gone off and left you to take the rap for the dirty work. Goodman-But surely they wouldn't do that! Charity'-Oh, wouldn't they! And just what makes you think they wouldn't Goodman'-'But they said they were my pals. But I guess they are just like all men. Cheats, liars, robbers. Page One Hundred A . ll ki' 'ff' .f ' A Charity-But what makes you think all men are of that type? What has made you have such distrust in mankind? Goodman-When one has been cheated and robbed of everything that matters to him, it is inevitable that he lose trust and turn bitter. CharityHPerhaps, instead of turning you in for this, I can take you home, where we can talk this whole thing over. Goodman-I can't very well object. Let's get started. fExit.J Scene IV Scene: The kitchen of the home of Charity. Enter Kindness, Charity, Goodman. Charity-Well, I suppose a good meal would go well with you. Kindness, get some food for Goodman and me. And now, while she's busy, tell me all about it. Goodman-I've told my story before. Many a man has the same woeful story. I had everything, and suddenly it was all snatched away by that robber, Depression. I was left beaten, in despair, and finally resorted to such crimes as the one at which you caught me. Charity-But, Goodman, you show you are weak if you let Depression beat you out of your rightful possessions, and then just meekly go along, blame ing your misfortune on human kind. You, yourself, are at fault. If you had courage, despair could not overcome you so easily. You have only to fight Depression. I-Ie is a coward, but you cannot know that until you have actually fought him. Why don't you fight him? Goodman-Charity, I know in my heart that you are right. I want to live the right way, because it's the happy way. You have made me feel ashamed of myself. If only I had some way to gain a foothold again. Charity-Well, I'll tell you what I'll do. I have some friend, in the next city, Hope, and his wife, Faith. I will give you a personal letter to them, and I am sure that with their help you can begin again. And finally gain from De- pression what is rightfully yours. Goodman-I cannot thank you enough for the help you have given me. And the inspiration! I feel I can get a new start now, and regain my home and happiness. Charity-Well, enough of life's problems. Let us eat and drink. Tomorf row will be another day. A better day! , .s Wage I9 Page One Hundred One MOONLIGHT TEST By William Smith INSENSIBLE to his surroundings, with head bowed and shoulders stooped, Iohn Weston took his regular evening walk in the park. Walking had been virtually his only recreation for months now. He walked always in the same position, not for exercise or to contemplate the beauty of the eve- ning, but to bow his head and think. It was especially lovely tonight. A huge moon, surrounded by thousands of tiny stars, dominated the ebony sky. Yet all the beauty was lost to this grim figure which dragged along the park walk. His mind was in the past. It had been a year now since Mary had left him. A year, but to him it seemed centuries. Iohn Weston and Mary 'Walker were engaged to be married. They loved each other sincerely, but each had a great fault. Iohn had the habit of flirtation-not the harmful kind, but just such things as winking at the op- posite sex, or taking a girl friend to a show or dance when Mary had to work. His theory, which then seemed quite satisfactory, was that when he was mar- ried he would be tied to no woman's apron strings. He was to be boss! Mary's fault was jealousy. Thus you can readily see what happened when their faults intersected. When Mary found out that Iohn had been having engagements with other girls when they were to be married, she was furious. She left him, saying that she would never see him again. Now Iohn realized that he was to blame. He admitted it. If she would only return there would be no one else. There could be no one else! But what's the use, he mused as he slowly walked down the park walk, she'll never come back. She's gone! His mind was so full of memories that he failed to notice that close by his side, with the fur collar of her coat pulled snuggly around her neck, walked a girl whose facial beauty was little hid by the veil covering it. Nor did he notice that when he sat down upon a bench, which someone seemed to have placed appropriately in his path, his companion saw fit to rest there also. For the first time since he had begun his walk, Iohn raised his eyes. First he looked up at the sky. Then his eyes traveled across the black outlines of the city with its flashing lightsg then back again to the starry sky. In every star he saw the sparkle of her eye: in the moon he saw the glow that was upon her faceg from every window of the buildings in the city she seemed to be telling him how untrue he had been-telling him that he would never see her again. After he had passed some time thus, glancing from sky to city and back again, he turned his head in the other direction and for the first time saw his companion. With her fur collar gripping her neck and the veil of her hat pulled over her face, she formed a pleasing silhouette in the moonlight. The veil, however, failed to hide a beautiful nose and a finely shaped mouth. Iohn looked at her with a peculiar stare as one who witnesses the impos- sible. Could it be possible that she had come back? Could it be possible that she was again sitting by his side as she used to? At first he thought that he was dreaming: but no-that nose, those lips. They were her's! They were Mary's! She had come back! Thoroughly convinced that it was she, Iohn could not resist the impulse to embrace her. She had probably wa-nted to surprise him. He felt his body bend forward: the next moment she was in his arms and his lips were pressing against hers. Almost immediately she slapped a small hand on his jaw. Page One Hundred Two In a moment he was walking againg this time at a fast gait as if fleeing from someone. Soon he was in his apartment-sitting, smoking, thinking. Why had he done it? Simply because he thought that it was Mary. For months every face that he had seen had been IVIary's. Every scrubwoman's, every landlady's, every vendor's face had been hers. Was it peculiar then that he should have had the impulse to kiss the girl in the park because he thought it was Mary? No! Forgetting the incident temporarily, Iohn retired. Still it seemed to haunt him. Every time he laid his head on his pillow, he felt that it was the face of that girl. Over and over he asked himself why he should keep thinking of her. But he did. The first rays of the morning sun found Iohn sitting in his chair. Unable to sleep, he had sat there most of the night. I-Iearing a knock at the door, he opened it to find the bell boy with a letter in his hand. Good morning, Mr. Weston, he said cheerily. Iohn returned the salutation with much less vigor than it was proffered. A lady left this for you last night, sir. She told me to give it to you in the morning. Here 'tis, sir. The letter which Iohn perused hurriedly, was as follows: Dear Iohn: When I left you, I said that I would never return. I meant it. But I thought afterwards that I was a little hasty perhaps and that you should be given another chance. I came back to the city. I noticed that you regularly took, a walk in the park. So I decided to test you. I wore a hat with a veil and pulled my collar high, thus easily hiding my identity in the dark park. I deliberately placed myself in your path. You saw meg you could see that I was beautiful: so you kissed me and ran away. I thought perhaps you had improved, but I see you have become worse. Well, Iohn, my moonlight test has failed. This time I am gone for good! Mary. Is there anything you want, sir? asked the boy. Nothing, he said wearily as he leaned back and inhaled his cigarette.

In spite of themselves, they were profoundly moved by his eloquence, and the way he punctuated each state- ment by rapping his knuckles sharply on the table before him. unnoticed, it stood in majestic unpassivity behind the gestulating activity of the little man. The statue's smoothly rounded marble eyes gazed inscrutibly out over the semi-circular tiers of seats. A marble serpent, symbol of healing, encircled sinuously the uplifted arm of deity standing directly behind the pom- pous speaker. The thin voice reached the climactic dramatic apex of its power, waited a moment for its effect to become absorbed, and then resumed, more quietly, more evenly. Gentlemen, I see many of you do not believe my assertions. Some of you are even shocked-horrified at what I say. You have a right to be, for we are dealing with the unknown, the infinite, bordering on the divine. Some of our philosophers have said, perhaps truly, that the purpose of life is death. If, in eliminating death, we destroy life, we contradict all forces of life as well as the will of God! Professor Stein paused again. Then with a gesture, he indicated the statue at his back. The later afternoon sunlight, striking full upon its side, bathed it in molten yellow, making it a symphony of light and shadow. There was wisdom of the ages in the lines of the marble face. When Stein spoke again, his voice was sacrilege. Aesculapius at one time raised the dead to life, the Greeks believed. ln that, his ultimate triumph against disease, he became the apotheosis of all medicinal labors, for three thousands of years, he has stood alone, jealously guarding his secret. Until today f- -1 '- successfully. But at last we have wrested it from him. He faced around. Gentlemen, I have destroyed my notes. It shall be for you to say whether or not my formula shall go down to posterity. If you think it conf trary to divine will, it shall be forgotten, and the contents of this graduate, he held forward a glass receptacle containing a murky, milk-like fluid, shall be destroyed. The formula I retain in my mind. At your demand, sirs, it shall be transcribed to paper. However, all these assurances are idle if you do not witness the results of my findings. At this an attendant entered the room, bearing a cage, in which two guinea pigs were lying, apparently dead. Upon Stein's request, two doctors present verified their condition. Page One Hundred Four A ll 1 3 I If . . Htl One has been asphyxiated, the other injected with a virulent bacteria. Observe closely. With that, he filled a small syringe with the fluid and care- fully, very carefully, injected a drop in the neck of each of the animals. The men of science leaned forward expectantly as the great Professor straightened, then stepped quickly back, his eyes on the pigs. Look out, Professor! someone warned. But too late. He had backed into the statue. As it toppled forward and struck his head, he crumpled, striking the corner of the pedestal. He lay, a sorry, motionless figure among the scattered fragments of the statue. His col- leagues gathered about him. One lifted a broken, snakeaencircled arm from his neck, and gently turned him over. Dead, he declared. A stream of blood and a milky, white fluid ran together down a drain in the floor near the body. Two live guinea pigs hopped about the table. 1 A -5 6 K FF? 5' O- ' M, I- ,c r Ililllllllll 5 . xi .idlllillllll Page One Hundred Five THE GREAT DAGMON IAN TRAGEDY By Audy Anschuetz H NLM!!

He accepted life just as it came and didn't grumble. But one thing that lohn Watts, Esq., couldn't quite contend with was his daughter Suzi's boy-friend, A'Scoopy Davis. Suzi was a tall, lovely girl of twenty who was finishing her fourth year at Vassar next Iune, and goodness knows it took enough scrimping and scrap- ing to send her through. Iohn really didn't mind that. Suzi was pretty, intellif gent, and ambitious to make good in the literary world: but Mr. Watt's patience dropped to a very low degree when breezy, good-natured A'Scoopy blew ing his long, lean body enveloped in baggy tweeds, an ill-smelling pipe stuck bea tween his teeth. And that hat of his! cocked at such an absurd angle. Be- spectacled seniors, boisterous froshes , goggle-eyed sophomores and even serious faced juniors, Mr. Watts swallowed them all as he would have a bad dose of medicine but Scoopy! Whenever Scoopy appeared on the scene, Mr. Watts promptly and quietly left the room, shut himself in the bathroom, and bemoaned the fate of having a daughter who brought half-wits into the quiet of their modest home. On this particular hot summer night, when everyone was sitting outside gasping for breath and not succeeding very well, Scoopy, encased in an im- maculate tuxedo, bustled up the walk, bounded the steps four at a time, and slapped Mr. Watts a resounding slap on the back with a Hi ya, Pop! Half an hour later Suzi emerged, dressed in a lovely creation of pink organdy and looking for all the world fresh and dewy, followed, of course. by the ever-admiring Scoopy. Three fourths way down the winding stairs, Suzi paused, a rosy-tipped finger on her smooth pink cheek. Oh, Dad, I forgot to tell you. When Mother comes home to-night from the bridge party, tell her to be sure to order some eats from the store. And what, if I may inquire, is going to happen tomorrow, that you need extra eats? Mr. Watts inquired. Page One Hundred Seven Well, you see, Ardmoor's playing our tennis team tomorrow, so after the match, the gang's going to stop in for cocktails and sandwiches. How many is there in this--er-f-uf--ah-ff-gang? Oh, I guess about fifteen or sixteen couples! Suzi was, by now, seated in Scoopy's elaborately painted roadster: but be sure to tell mother to order enough. Bye. Suzi waved a small pink speck, and then disappeared as the roadster rounded the corner. ,.,,-f,-f,-f,-.,-f,-f,-f,-1,- Summer lengthened into fall,-'fall with the hilarious football games, Wiener roasts, Halloween and Thanksgiving. Fall ebbed away into winter. King Winter, the glorious, with his round of Christmas and New Year parties: winter with its snow, ice, beauty. And then beautiful springg gay, joyous spring! And then before Suzi realized, it would be lune and soon her carefree college days would be over. For days ahead, there was a gay hustle and bustle in the Watts household. Suzi had to have a new frock made, invitations were to be sent out, flowers ordered, and of course-Scoopy dashed in and out. At last the great day arrived and went. Suzi, a vision of loveliness in her long black gown and mortar board, came towards the family group, radiantly smiling, her gilt-edged diploma in her hand. After the kisses and congratulations were over and only a few of her nearest relatives were left, Suzi took a deep breath like a swimmer about to take an icy plunge. l've a great surprise for you, Suzi took Scoop's hand firmly in hers, l want you all to meet my-my husband! Suzi was glad that the word was said. Mr. Watts grew red, then pale, and clutched at his collar. Mary Watts clutched in turn at her throat, while her eyes filled to overflowing with tears. Everyone else crowded about Suzi and her spouse, congratulating them, only her parents hung back, abashed. When everyone had gone, Suzi put her arms about her crestfallen mother. Oh, Mommy, buck up! Scoopy isn't such a bad fella. You'll learn to love 'im, really you will. Suzil How could you? her mother's voice broke. We had such dreams and plans for you, and now, on your graduation-you marry-him! Scoopy laughed. Qh, no, Mother, we've been married for a year now, but decided to keep it a secret and finish school. Why, you young whipper-snapper! Do you mean to say that you've let your wife live off of us all this time? Where's your nerve, man? l thought that when two people get married it's that man's duty to support his family. And when do you suppose you'll get a job to take care of Suzi? Mr. Watts's tone was slightly sneering. Page One Hundred Eight mm. LA AWK, K. 1 Yfmk L Q A Well, it's a long story, Dad, but you might just as well know that my Dad is-I. P. Davis. What! Mr. Watts gagged, your Dad P. Davis? Yes: I suppose you've heard of him. He owns the P. Davis Building in Manchester, and another one in New York, Scoopy went on calmly. He also owns the No-Noco gas and oil concern. Well, when I was sent to Yale I decided to come incognitop not as P. Davis, lr., but as Iack Davis. I later received the name of 'Scoopy' Davis because I wrote articles for our school paper. I got that old bus of mine, worked for my board at school at all hours of the day. Dad didn't even know that I saved my allowance and then, well- then I met Suzi. Scoopy stopped and smiled down on the radiant Suzi, So here we are. Graduates of two good schools, married, and happy as can be. Oh, Mommy! It's too good to be true. It's all like a dream, being a rich man's son's wife. Oh, of course, I knew it when we were married, but now well-you know all about it and you're not mad? Suzi's tone was questioning. UOf course not, Mary Watts beamed on them. Are you going on a honeymoon? Yesl We're going to Europe, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Rome, oh-oh, Suzi was breathless. 'U--and we'll top it off by going to the Orient. Oh, no, darling, let that wait, Suzi seemed to be giving off rays of suna shine. After we're married a few years, then the Orient. Lake View Manor, of course, will be our residence after we return, inter- posed Scoopy. Well, well, son, congratulations! Mr. Watts cordially pumped Scoopy's hand. I always knew that you were somebody. And only the other day I says to Mary, I says, 'You know that boy has an air of distinction, and I'11 bet he has what it takes to get along,' so I wasn't wrong ya see, But all rib- bing aside I'm glad you married Suzi. Why, I would have been displeased and sorry if you hadn't. Scooopy's eyes twinkled. You didn't seem to like me at first, but now-? Mr. Watts impatiently brushed aside the matter. Oh, well, I was a bit irritated with everybody, there for awhile. It was just a case of-ah,-fer-a family affairs! Hum-m-mm, yes, family affairs. Mr. Watts mumbled with a smile on his face. s -T-J 'lil D0 5 . Page One Hundred Nine Sonnet I heard the rain.

The season resulted in a three-way tie for the championship when Roosevelt most obligingly defeated McKinley in the last league game. This put Cleveland in a position to claim with McKinley and Roosevelt, who also dropped one league game, the coveted title of co- champions. Cleveland, 0: McKinley, 20. Cleveland jumped off on the wrong foot in defense of its championship by bowing to McKinley's big, bad Goldbugs, 2OfO, in the league season's inauf gural. The Carondeleters were outplayed all the way by the heavier Russell Avenue gridders, who scored once each in the first, second and third quarters. Sanger, Blanke and O'Connell tallied lVlcKinley's trio of touchdowns. Cleveland tried its old mothfeaten trick, the sleeper pass, as its first play of the game. With Brew hiding along the sideline, Tombridge tossed the long pass just out of the former's reach. If this play had been successful, it might have changed the complex of the game.

'13, the fourth quarter to spell defeat for Cleveland in its intersectional contest with Tilghman High School of Paducah fKy.l. The pair of final period touch- downs gave the home team a rather tainted 12-7 victory. Cleveland, in meeting the Blue Tornado, was pitted against a team which had been unbeaten for over two years. The Fenengamen scored first when Tombridge pulled out of the line to heave a pass to Sweetin. With Davania in the driver's seat, the Kentuckians were guided to victory by Lady Luck, who caused an Orange and Blue fumble to result in the winning touchdown. Davania had previously scored, early in the final chapter, by gal- loping forty-three yards across Cleveland's goal line, Cleveland, 18p Roosevelt, 0. Probably the biggest upset of the league season occurred on a rainy and muddy day in October, when Coach Fenenga's stalwarts surprised the highly touted Roosevelt Rough Riders with a succession of ''now-you-see-it-and-novw you-don't plays. These multiple and lateral pass plays gave Cleveland a well- earned victory over the Carlsonmen, who were picked to Win the champion- ship. The score was 18-0. Harris scored in the first quarter on a forty-seven yard jaunt. The tackle- out-of-the-line play tallied the second touchdown. Then Harris scored again in the fourth quarter on another multiple pass play to assure an Orange and Blue triumph. Cleveland, 12g Central, 0. Coach Fenenga took advantage of the last-place Central eleven to test his reserve strength, Cleveland winning easily, 12-O. The Orange and Blue piled up 19 first downs, besides totaling 301 yards from scrimmage, to make the victory a comparatively easy one. After taking the opening kick-off, Cleveland marched straight to a touch- down. Fink Went over from the three-yard line to break the ice. Later, in the fourth quarter, Sweetin took a pass from Tombridge for the final touch- down. Cleveland, 24: Missouri Military Academy, 0. As a tuneup for the important game with Beaumont, Cleveland met and defeated a friendly rival, Missouri Military Academy, 24-O, in a non-league Horton finds a hole in the Central line while Hatchard forms interference Page One Hundred Twenty-five Before the departure to the Lone Star State tilt on the winner's campus. Fink scored two touchdowns, while Tongay and Pennington each scored one. Fink and Tongay scored their six-pointers from scrimmage, but Pennington's jaunt followed a pass from Tongay. Cleveland, 26: Beaumont, 12. Performing better than at any other time during the season, Cleveland romped over the strong Beaumont Blue lackets, 26-12, to retain a mathematical chance for the league championship. Three touchdowns were scored in the first period, which was a wild and wooly twelve minutes. Ken Harris, alias the Galloping Gazelle, practically outran the entire Blue and Gold eleven to score in the first two minutes of play. Later in the quarter Tongay went over for Cleveland, while Sainz tallied for Beaumont. Other touchdowns were scored by Tongay, his second of the game, Gansner, and Schwenk. Cleveland, 26p Soldan, 0. Hurrah! Cleveland stuck its thumb in the championship pie for the third year in succession by virtue of its 26-O victory over Soldan and lVlcKinley's surprise defeat at the hands of Roosevelt. Cleveland, McKinley, and Roosevelt tied for the title with four triumphs and one setback apiece. The play of the West Enders was directly opposite of last season's eleven which lost to Cleveland for the championship. Harris, Tongay, Buffa, and Horton were the scorers for the champs. Cleveland, 14: Waco, 18. As a reward for their fine efforts, CleVeland's varsity gridders were given a trip to Waco, Texas, which was climaxed by a thrilling game between the St. Louisans and the Lone Star State team. The Longhorns won, 18-14. It was the season's finale for both squads. Sweetin and Harris registered the Cleveland touchdowns, while Buflfa added one extra point and Sweetin scored the other. Tombridge's pass to Eweetin for the South Sider's second touchdown was a fifty-seven yard eave. Trailing in the final period, Waco put on a rally to eke out a victory over the hard-fighting Fenengamen. Bradford scored the winning touchdown on a reverse around right end.

The shock troops won every game with the exception of their finale, when Principia's Iunior College heavy second team took advantage of the narrow Page Avenue Field to gain revenge for a previous defeat at the hands of Cleveland. ln the six games, Cleveland compiled 90 points to 36 for its combined opponents. The South Siders averaged 15 points per game, while they allowed 6 markers a contest. Cleveland shut out one opponent and was blanked once itself. Carl Fink and Forrest Llffman were the leading individual scorers, although they were pressed for the honors by Beneeke and Eichle. Those who performed for Cleveland during the season were: Amelung, Benecke, Breidert, Bremer, Birnie, Eichle, Fenenga, Fink, Huck, McDonald, Meadow, Morgan, Kueter, Rohlfing, Schiefelbein, Seener, Shurig, Sischka, Thompson, and Uffman.

The foundation of the team was laid around the four lettermen returning from the last season. Fortunately, material with which to mold a winning team was available. The season was appropriately begun with a 30-27 defeat over McKinley. Displaying flashy form for so early an encounter, DeGreeff accounted for the winning points by sinking a shot during the last minute of play. ln a practice tilt with Madison High, at Madison, Illinois, Cleveland'S basketball quintet suffered its first defeat when the gun sounded, leaving a final score of 26-13. lust to prove that they were out of form in the preceding game, the squad came back and outpointed Roosevelt, 21-16. This Victory placed Cleveland in a tie with Beaumont for first place honors, each team having won two games and losing none. Schneider was high point man in this rally, scoring five field goals and one free shot for a total of ll points. Coach Frankenberger entered the team in the Normandy Basketball Tour- nament, which was held from December 27 to December 30. Sixteen high schools were entered in this meet and Cleveland emerged with the third place trophy, which was a line accomplishment on the part of our boys. The games played were: Cleveland, 375 Festus, 15, Cleveland, 325 St. Charles, 19. Maplewood, 41, Cleveland, 30 tsemi-Hnal gamel. Cleveland, 433 McKinley, 27.

Soldan quickly took the lead in the first quarter and by means of a smooth passing attack constantly added to their initial score. Again our cagers were outpointed. This time Cleveland lost to Beaumont, 22-24. As a result our team dropped from a first place tie to fourth place in the league standings. ln the next game Cleveland staged a stirring comeback by defeating Central, 26-24. Cleveland gained a slight edge in the first half with a score of 9-7, The third quarter ended with Cleveland ahead, 16-9. ln the final period Central scored thirteen points to make the score 24a22 with but a minute to play. Then Schneider tied the score with a long shot from the midcourt sector, and a few seconds later Schneider again scored to give Cleveland the game. This game ended the first half of the season. After such fine playing against Central the team felt more confident, so it swamped McKinley with a score of 27-15, This victory placed Cleveland in a tie with Roosevelt for second place honors. Again the Cleveland five 'lclickedn and this time Roosevelt was the victim of a 3048 score. Ray DeGreeff chalked up nine points to lead the scoring in this game. As the result of this brilliant comeback drive Cleveland landed in a threeaway tie for first place with Beaumont and Soldan. Despite futile attempts to gain another victory, Cleveland bowed to Soldan, 28-25. Play was fast and furious as both teams displayed marvelous defense. The game was won when the West Enders spurted in the final period. Ray DeGreeff again led the scoring with twelve points. Again Cleveland proved that you can't hold a fighting team down. Beau- mont was defeated when Cleveland flashed a familiar last half rally. The Clevea landites bewildered the Beaumont cagers with dazzling shots from every corner of the floor. By this 36-28 victory Cleveland took sole possession of second place and with only one game in the rear of Soldan, ln the final game Cleveland smothered Central, 4647. This score set the season's record for the top notch position in the high scoring. ln this game Ray DeGreeff took the title of the leagues leading scorer. The final standings: Won Lost Pct.

Page One Hundred Thirty LM, 3 mln SEASON OF 1934-1955 The Normandy Tournament l Harton Schneider Another trophy was added to Clevcland's celebrated collection when Coach Frankenbergers varsity hoopsters annexed the statuette that accom- panied the runner-up position in the second annual Normandy Invitational Basketball Tournament. The tourney was held at the Normandy Field House. from December 26 through December 29. University City, Cleveland, Beau- mont, Blewett, Webster Groves, Maplewood, Warrenton tMo.l, Normandy, Washington tMo.l, Festus tMo.l, Ferguson, St. Louis U. High, McKinley. Roosevelt, Ritenour, and Wellstoii were the sixteen schools entered in the tournament when first-round hostilities began. Undoubtedly, Cleveland had a harder schedule than any other school. including U. City, and therefore its showing in defeating St. Louis U. High, a line defensive team, Z6-117 Maplewood, the defending champion, 25-23, and Beaumont, who captured third place, 34-31, is worthy of note. U. City's big and heavy quintet then won the championship by nosing out Cleveland, 25-22, in a thrilling encounter. The Indians had conquered Roosevelt, Warrenton. and Blewett to reach the finals. Harton Schneider, the Grange and Blue's acting captain, was presented with a trophy for being the Hmost valuable player in the tournament. Harton was unanimously selected by the referees and sports writers. Besides being the spear-head of the Cleveland offense, Schneider was the keyman of the South Siders' defense and, without a doubt, played a better floor game than any other individual. His value as a team man is only realized by those who play next to him. Schneider led the team in scoring with 36 points for an average of 9 points per game. Ray DeGreeff, Hardy's running mate, was close behind with 34 markers. Fred Nuerge tallied 14 points, Russ Tongay registered 8, Charley Bufjfa accounted for 7, loe Schneiderjohn scored 5, and Bill Driemeyer sank one foul throw. Those who played but failed to break into the scoring column were: Don Borlinghaus, Earl Schlesing, Bob Broeg, and Mel Niemeyer. Page One Hundred Thirty-one BASEBALL Schneider, Stelmach, Kinney, Coach Fenenga Brune, Angle, Tongay, Pfeiffer, Sweefin, DeGreeff Having a fair season, which was featured by one victory in every two starts, Cleveland's baseball nine split even in six league encounters to tie with Roosevelt for third place in the Public High School League race, The team's trio of victories were at the expense of Soldan, Blewett, and Roosevelt. Central, the champion, McKinley, and Beaumont took the measure of the Carondeleters. League play was auspiciously inaugurated by the Fenenga-men when they trounced Soldan, 14-7, behind the fine twirling of Ed Stelmach. Stelmach fanned nine batsmen in the five innings he twirled, while lack Kinney was the main cog in the Cleveland offense with a single and double. Central, later to beat McKinley at Sportsmen's Park for the championship hammered Stelmach, DeGreeff, and Nuerge for thirteen hits to win easily, 12-3. Sweetin, with a triple and single, and Kinney and Schneider, with two one- baggers apiece, were the leading hitters for the Orange and Blue. 1 Again Stelmach was in rare form, and the South Siders pulverized Blewett, llal, for their second victory of the season, This time Cleveland backed Stel- mach splendidly as they unleashed an extra base-hit barrage against McCarron and Gaines, Blewitt's luckless pitchers. Blewett secured only four hits from Stelmach. This was two less than the half-dozen safeties, equally divided among Angle, Kinney, and Schneider. Probably Cleveland's best game of the season was one which they lost. The contest was a thriller between the Fenenga-men and Beaumont, who won 2-l with a last inning rally. Ray DeGreeff and Marvin Quante hooked up in the prementioned pitching duel with the Beaumont southpaw having a slight advantage over the Cleveland righthander. DeGreeff was touched for seven hits, while Quante yielded only a quartet of safeties.

In the three years that golf ,has been one of the major high school sports, considerable interest and fskill has been developed in the game in the various high schools of tho city? In spite of the fact that the Forest Park course on which the tournament was played this year was in poor condition, ten cards were turned in with scores in the 80's and one in the 7O's. This approaches professional playing very closely. Cleveland was represented in the tournament by Don Meadows, Killinger, Kenneth Iaeckel, Fred Hoffmeister, and Bernard Boulware The results were as follows: September 22 ,....................,,,........ ...,,.,..r.

Page One Hundred Thirty-four Wm. LA A n . F . is l ll SWIMMING With quite a few stars returning from the encounters of the previous year, Cleveland's swimming team prepared for a busy season. Due to the transfer of Mr. Singer, more commonly known as Doc, Mr. Ballin took up the job of training the squad. After weeks of preparation a fine team was in readiness to represent the school colors in the interscholastic Meet and other matches. Cleveland's waterbugs gained a third place berth with a total of 22 points in the interscholastic Meet held on March 2 and 3. Beaumont won first place with 35 points and the Roosevelt Rough Riders were second with 28 points. lim Shaw proved to be the outstanding performer by setting a new record in the 100-yard back-stroke contest. He splashed away the distance in lZl5.2. This time was 0.2 second better than the mark made by Herbert Buchman of last year's team. Other Clevelandites to place in this meet were the following: Tongay, McElmurry, Brew, Seibert-Third place-200-yard relay. Shaw, Bergauer, Tongay-First place-150-yard medley relay. A few weeks later in the spring season another outstanding performance was turned in by the tank team. This time McKinley was the victim of a 43-32 defeat and again the best aquatic performer was a Cleveland Upaddlerf' Dave Bartosch swam to a new Public High School record in the 220-yard free stroke. Fred Doerner also placed in a third position in this race. Six firsts, three seconds, and two thirds were credited to Cleveland during this meet. Those who took part in the winter campaign were Shaw, Seibert, Mc- Elmurry, Tongay, Walz, and Douglas. Letters for outstanding work during the spring term were awarded to Iim Shaw, Russell Tongay, Harroll McElmurry, William Seibert, Nick Ber- gauer, Porter Woolsey, Dave Bartosch, Iames Kohlwes, Fred Doerner, Eugene Brew, and Armand Sulliber. The 1934 Tank Team Page One Hundred Thirty-five TENNIS Net Squad of 1934 Klein Chapman Schaefer Utter Schuesslez' McElmurry Harris Coach Cheruenka As the tennis season rolled around Cleveland made preparations for what seemed would be a successful year, With three lettermen returning, Coach Chervenka hoped to build up an excellent winning combination. Besides these veterans the team had four good prospects in Thomas Chapman, William Klein, Erwin Harris, and Harry Schuessler. Following days of practice and seeding Mr. Chervenka assembled the team which was to represent the school in the coming tournament. The singles team consisted of Horace Schaefer, Harroll McElmurry, and Thomas Chapa man. The double team's hopes were built on George Utter, William Klein, Harry Schuessler, and Erwin Harris. CleVeland's high hopes for a championship contender were darkened the first day of the tournament when Central, expected to be an easy victim, divided the day's honors. Naturally, this upset all hopes for a fine record and Cleve! land was forced to step aside and allow Roosevelt to take the lead. The final standings in the tournament were: 1. Roosevelt. 2. Soldan. 3. Beaumont. 4. Cleveland Q10 victories and 14 defeatsl. 5. Central. 6. McKinley. 7. Blewett. The Triple A. Club has done much in recent years to improve the brand of Iunior Tennis played in this district. The 1934 Tournament was a great Page One Hundred Thirty-six . LA A IV' :A in f-:ffl .f lg rnwhm step forward in interscholastic tennis competition, when on the invitation of the Triple A. Club, the matches were played on their excellent private courts, instead of the public lefferson Memorial Courts in Forest Park, as had been customary in the past. The weather conditions were ideal during the course of the entire tournament, which lasted from October I to IO, inclusive. Interscholastic tennis competition has in the past taken place during the fall termg however, it is expected that in the near future a change will be made. The public high schools are, in fact, among the few schools in the state that compete during the fall, instead of the spring. By playing during the spring the public high schools would fall in line with the rest of the preparatory high schools in this district. lt would also make it possible for public high school stars to compete in the statefwide tennis championship usually held in the latter part of May. The players to win letters were Captain I-larroll IVlcElmurry, Horace Schaefer, George Utter, Erwin Harris, Thomas Chapman, William Klein, and l-larry Schuessler. ,.,,-4,..f,..,-f,-0.0.1,-.,-4 Lettermen in Action McElmurry, Utter, Klein, Schaefer, Harris, Chapman Page One Hundred Thirty-seven RIFLE TEAM lack Zieruogel Glen Lewis Richard McKendry Iames Lenney Norman Krizek Louis Long Oliver Hessel Walter Annet- During the past year the Cleveland High Rifle team maintained its posie tion as one of the outstanding rifle teams in the state. Cleveland's rillemen went on several successful trips and were prominent in the Greater St. Louis Iunior Rifle Club League. At the Kemper Rifle Tournament, Cleveland teams placed seventh and tenth out of twenty entries in the High School division. In the Missouri State Rifle Matches, which were held at Ieiferson City on May 12 and 13, 1934, Cleveland scored several of its most important victories. On the Dewar Course, Cleveland teams won Hrst and second places in the High School division and first place in the Senior division, defeating Missouri Uni- versity, Glendale Rifle Club, and others, In the Iunior Individual Dewar Match, lack Ziervogel shattered all previous records for this event by winning first place with a score of 495 x 500. This year the Greater St. Louis Iunior Rifle League was made up of nine teams: Beaumont, Hadley Vocational School, Western Military Academy, Webster Groves, University City, Country Day, Burroughs, C.

This is indeed an appropriate subject for our annual, since all the life around school is a drama, a great drama that goes on day after day unnoticed by even the actors them- selves. Therefore in an effort to unveil this epochamaking drama, the l935 Beacon is presenting this great unvarnished, breath-taking, spectacular pageant entitled Clevelandonia. j Characters: King Cleveland Adviser, Lord Douglass jester Herald Messenger Attendants, ladies, pages, etc. Subjects of the kingdom tin order of their appearancej: Lord Bored of Education Mr. Administration, and his staff Sir Faculty Lunchroomio Sportsio, and his followers Studentio Family Mr. X.

Sire, have you ever realized what a number of different people it takes to carry on the affairs of this kingdom? Such a thought, l dare say, has never entered your head. Have you ever realized what a drama is being enacted behind your back while you sit there pondering on the ennui of life? l propose, your highness, that you review your subjects.

The evening of October 19 found the auditorium overflowing with students and elders, gathered to witness the formal coronation ceremonies. Mr. Maddox, the principal of Cleveland, was in charge of the program. Under the direction of Mr. Barrett, the orchestra offered the selection The Chocolate Soldier. Other features on the program were selections by the Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs and Xylophone solos by Marshall Zwick. Led by Manuel Wisbrock, captain of the 1933 championship team, the Orange and Blue squad marched down the center aisle in full uniform, carrying the coveted Yale Bowl which now resides in our time-honored halls as a per- manent possession of the grim determination characteristic of Cleveland. Miss Celeste Maloney, popular retiring queen, ascended the throne and took her place beside the team captain, Arthur Faerber. Miss Maloney was escorted by Iohn Geraghty. The maids of honor, dressed in beautiful evening gowns and accompanied by their tuxedoed escorts, presented a glittering spec- tacle as they proceeded down the aisle, mounted the steps onto the stage, and curtsied to the regents. f Their appearances were announced in the following order: Miss Allene Iohnston and Harold Zerweckg Miss Audrey Schollmeyer and Howard Kueh- nerg Miss Ruth Foster and Paul Herriottg Miss Carolyn Yaggi and Emil Wachterg Miss Dorothy Schelp and Monroe Roberts: Miss Helen Diehl and Bob Gillis: Miss Mary lane Petty and lack Leaverg Miss Elva Hassendeubel and Rudy Buschorn, and Miss Loretta lost and Iames Kohlwes. Immediately following came the Queen, her long train carried by little Miss Kathryn Ware and her wreathed crown upon the pillow carried by young Miss Elaine Neller. Ed Stelmach escorted Miss Kleman to the throne where the retiring queen yielded her place to the new sovereign. The climactic moment was greeted with a deafening applause from the audience which thus indicated its approval of the beautiful and gracious queen. Manuel Wisbrock addressed the team on Cleveland Traditions and urged them to defeat Roosevelt High the next day. Arthur Baerber responded, testifying to the superior coaching ability of Coach Fenenga. By way of adding more glamor to an already thrilling program, Mr. Schueneman and the cheer leaders led the audience in school yells and songs. The singing of the Cleveland A'Loyalty Song brought the audience to its feet in an enthusiastic expression of loyalty to the team. Page One Hundred Fifty-nirze Ii! lf .

The cast and the chorus, with the help of Miss Meenach, Miss C. Ma-nn, and Mr. Barrett, worked hard for many weeks. The dancing groups under the direction of Miss Gunther were on their toes many nights a week and the strains of Tune ln could be heard frequently as the orchestra rehearsed the music. The action was cleverly spread out over two acts, the first taking place in the concert studio of Radio Station WTNT. All is in readiness for the Kroggins hour which takes place one hour from the opening time of the first act. The main feature of the Kroggins hour is a mysterious soprano named Mitzi The fact that Mitzie is none other than Mrs. Kroggins is made public as Ierry Kennedy ridicules her. Mrs. Kroggins is given an audition which turns out to be a real ordeal for the entire cast. ln spite of the eEorts of lerry, loe and Dave, Mrs. Kroggins is determined to sing, and the situations arising therefrom provide a series of ludicrous happenings. The second act finds us look'ng in on a New Year's party given by Mrs. Kroggins, who by this time has become disillusioned over the failure of her social aspirations. However, due to a series of events which prove extremely excifing, the operetta closes with the usual happy ending, and Mrs. Kroggins decides at last that her place is in the kitchen. Mr. Scherer took charge of the stage setting and Miss Knepper the stage decorations. Mr. Schuenemann was Publicity Manager, and the Orange and Blue aided him in advertising. The unique posters that adorned the walls and curtains of the stage were made through the help of Miss Fitch and Miss Knepper. Lighting was taken care of by Mr. F. W. Moody, and the loud speakers by Mr. Chervenka. The lovely dance costumes were made with the aid of Miss M. Mann. The second act costuming was supervised by Miss M. O'Brien. The sale of tickets was directed by Mr. Ware who was assisted by the Student Council. The members of the Student Council also acted as ushers, Page One Hundred Sixty-one Page One Hundred Sixty-two 0535 A A Xu ww grim' A L GIRLS' PLAY DAY The big event of the feminine athletic season occurred May 18, 1934, when the annual Cleveland Girls' Play Day was held. The various competitive events were preceded by a colorful parade of six hundred blue-clad, fair-eyed Athenesu. This proved to be an interesting spectacle to the several hundred spectators who were present. After the Cleveland band, which led the gay parade, had circled the campus several times, the games were ready to begin. ln every direction one could see girls playing volley ball and baseball, while the track and Held events were going on. Upon the tennis courts a group of charming racqueteers were demonstrating their skill at the net. At the same time the members of Toxophilite endeavored to make Robin Hood and William Tell look like back numbers. As the afternoon waned, the athletes gradually dispersed until the campus was again bare and quiet, leaving only a well pictured memory of the gala event which had just been enacted.

The name originated from the Greek myth, in which Pan was a Woodland nymph, a Greek God, who was equally fond of music, revelry and dancing. Being disappointed in a love affair with a goddess, he took consolation in fashioning reeds into pipes upon which he played in the Woodlands. Hence, the name, Pipes of Pan. Our dancing club was organized with the purpose of teaching the girls the art of dancing. It gives the girls an opportunity to acquire grace, poise and a certain amount of self-confidence, since the dancing parts of school entertainments, auditorium programs, etc. are furnished by this club. The girls not only improve their technique in dancing but get a great deal of pleasure and enjoyment out of it as well.

Salutation means an early morning reception. A Latin class of 1926 came upon this word in a lesson and established a group of Latin students which met early on Friday mornings. This group continued for a year and then organized into a school club. Now, every Friday morning, at least twentyf five pupils, if not more, gather to further their knowledge of the Roman race. The meetings consist of talks on Roman customs, homes, furniture, people, and deities. Games relating to Latin are often played. Occasionally a trip is made outside of school to View Roman exhibits and collections, Page One Hundred Ninety-four PM .. X ANNA H.

The target with its gold, red, blue, black and white face is a challenge to one who knows the feel of drawing a gaily feathered arrow whose flight is grace personified as it is perfectly released from a wellfstrung bow. Genuine enthusiasm allures the archer when she hears the ping of the arrow driving into the gold. Then, the archer is sincere in her desire to master the technique that is required in developing skill and accuracy with the bow and arrow. The members of Toxophilite also realize that archery offers beneficial exer- cise particularly in reference to the development of posture and poise as well as training in co-ordination.

Moody OFFICERS President Wayne Bennetsen Vice-President Wm. Thompson Secretary Stanley Werngren Treasurer LeRoy Lampert The Radio Club was organized about the time the first station began broadcasting in St. Louis. The club members had become interested in short wave reception and the audion tube was replacing the crystal as a detector. Their first project was the construction of a broadcast receiving set, using material donated by the Parent-Teacher Association. This set was rebuilt several times, and later short wave receiving and transmitting sets were built, and an amateur broadcasting license was obtained. lt has been largely an experimental club with frequent changing and remodeling of the sets as improvements appeared. Several former club mem- bers, partly due perhaps to the interest aroused here, are now successfully employed in somecommercial radio lines. Page Two Hundred Six n KW I-If ,H
