C H V N A 4 WK X S we ,ifonfinpiece - .fggqzfucl This junk with the much patched sail represents only one of the many queer looking sailing crafts seen in Chinese harbors. This type of boat hasone to four masts and is sometimes four hundred years old. Often bumpers, woven out of rattan, are fastened upon it to protect the great eye, and phoenix feathers or dragon scales are brightly painted on its hull. Junks are native Waterfront freighters. They carry salt, rice, tea, Wood, vegetables and fruit from one city to another and often go up rivers and canals to inland China. Many junks are to be seen in all harbors and rivers. Occasionally they are operated by native pirates who prey upon the defenseless crafts especially in remote streams. There are more boats in China than in any other country of the World. DRYING NOODLES ON BAMBOO RACKS 'X fig I:- C 1xnunn .sw-,Q x A ' A. Wx M: O ,K wr. N. D' ,jim QOIQL of Kiiina Let us imagine that instead of being born in the United States you were born in China. You would find conditions very different than in America. Instead of attending high school, you would be compelled to earn your own living at an early age, and not at jobs such as the children of our country are familiar. If poor, you would perhaps be a coolie. If in a little better position, you might be an apprentice to a craftsman. There would be no vacations, nothing but work at a few cents a day, and that would be perhaps all the future held in store for you. Unless one of the fortu- nate, you would have very little, if any, education. Perhaps, you would not be able to read or write the diflicult Chinese language. China's civilization is one of the oldest in the world. With four thou- sand years of history behind them, it would not seem strange if you were there, that you would look more to the past than to the future, and that you would be very proud of the old ways. One of the main reasons for this is the teachings of Confucius. Confucius taught it is better to do things as they have always been done than to adopt new ways. The teachings of Confucius go hand in hand with religion in China. Confucius taught that a good Chinese should be reverent, especially to his ancestors. No doubt, you would practice ancestral worship. In many places in China, there are shrines built for the purpose of ancestral wor- ship. Although ancestral worship is one of the main religions in China, there are many other religions. Among these is Buddhism, which came from India. There are also many Mohammedans, especially in the north- west, and a growing number of Christians. Your family would be regarded as the most important social unit. You would live in a group of houses with a court in the center. In this house, or homestead, may live as many as ten or fifteen of your relatives. The main reason for this is that when two people marry, the bride moves to her husband's home. Your house would be made of mud, because the Chinese lack an adequate supply of wood. The roof of the house is generally thatched. Occasionally, there is some wood used, mainly for coiiins and farm imple- ments. If your father could afford it, he would want to be buried in a great wooden coflin that resembles a big hollow tree. The top would be so heavy that a man could not lift it. You would think a cofiin a very pleasant piece of furniture and might give your father a beautiful coffin as a New Year's gift which he would keep in the parlor for his neighbors to see. Another important custom in China is that of holding festivals. The 9 first and most important festival of the year is the New Year's festival. This festival is equivalent to our Christmas, and everyone except the beggars are gay. Much feasting is done on this holiday. There is also a great deal of noise making. This feast lasts for about two weeks. At the end of two weeks comes the Feast of the Lanterns, one of the most beau- tiful of all Chinese ceremonies. The Dragon Boat festival, which is held on the fifth day of the fifth moon, is another exciting occasion. Daring boat races are held in boats decorated in honor of the dragon god. Great crowds gather to watch the races, which frequently end disastrously. The Chinese men and women both wear trousers. The men wear shorter gowns than the women. If you were among the poorer people of China, you would wear coarse cloth. The rich wear very fine silk. In winter, all Chinese wear much clothing, which of course makes them look very stout. In the summer, the people wear as little clothing as possible. China and the customs of the people are most interesting, but very primitive. It is an appropriate time to bring to our attention the great .need of China for help and education in the modern ways of living. The boy of China does not have the opportunities of the American boyg and, I believe as one of our allies all the western world should do its utmost to help China develop into the modern nation it can and should be. RONALD HERTEL - Term One. 'v ,Il I C 10 n ,7Ae Adforg of Cjlainoz The Chinese claim a history that reaches back fifty centuries or more. There are no monuments, pyramids or other landmarks to prove conclu- sively the antiquity of the nation, so not until about 1125 B.C. can their history be regarded as really authentic. With the Chow dynasty which began to reign in 1122 B.C. better times dawned for the country. The people changed from a wandering people and began cultivating the soil, at which pursuit they are still engaged today. A feudal system grew up, the great land-owners acquir- ing so much land that the country was practically made up of separate states. Each state became so jealous of its rivals that there was constant strife. This so disturbed the empire that finally, in the third century B.C., the Chow dynasty was overthrown by the Chin dynasty from which China takes its name. Though this dynasty ruled for less than half a century it accomplished certain notable things. Among these were the Great Wall of China, which is the most stupendous structure ever built by man, and the feudal system was abolished. The emperor who performed this latter service was so anxious that his own reign should go down in history as the beginning of the empire that he had all the literature dealing with previous ages destroyed and put many hundreds of learned men to death. After the overthrow of the Chin dynasty many other dynasties reigned, some doing much good, others fomenting strife and bloodshed. There were ages of invention and literary activity. Printing was invented in the tenth century A.D. and the practice of bindingthe feet of women was introduced about the same time. In the thirteenth century the Mongols swept over the country under Genghis Kahn and under Kublai Kahn, grandson of that conqueror, estab- lished a firm rule. Never before had China known such splendor and prosperity as it knew then. This dynasty was overthrown in 1368 by the Ming dynasty which reigned for 300 years. During the latter part of the Ming rule there was much rebellion and finally in 1643 the Manchus were invited into the country to establish order. Their object accomplished, the Manchus refused to leave the country but set up a dynasty which lasted 300 years until the establishment of the republic. For two cen- turies internal progress went on slowly, as progress always moves in China, and still the outside world knew little of the great nation with its mixture of advanced civilization and its hatred of anything new. The first sharp dispute between China and the-:outside world was over the opium question. In the latter part of the seventeenth century the Chinese government had declared opium traflic illegal but when these decrees were enforced they met with protest from the British government for the opium trade was worth millions of dollars annually to Great Britain. Finally in 1840 war broke out and at its close China was compelled to sur- render the island of Hong Kong, pay an indemnity of twenty-one million dollars and open to British trade five of its chief ports. Soon after, war again broke out and in 1860 by the treaty of peace, Great Britain secured increased trading privileges and the promise of toleration for the Chris- tian religion. 12 i 1 In the meantime there was a rebellion inside China, led by a fanatic schoolmaster who wished to make himself head of the nation. The Chi- nese government was unable to cope with the situation but a small army consisting chiefly of Chinese under Charles Gordon soon stamped it out. In 1894 there was war between China and Japan over Korea. The results were the guarantee of Korean independence, the giving up of the island of Formosa and the Liao-tung Peninsula to Japan and the promise of a huge indemnity from China. Foreign powers intervened and made Japan give up much of its gains but they also used the opportunity to secure trade privileges with China. - After the war the need for reform was great and wise statesmen began to see and declare the necessity of introducing Western methods. A committee was selected to study the forms of government in other countries with a View to determining the one best fitted for China. The government promised a Parliament in 1913. But the radical element didn't want half-way measures and demanded the abdication of the emperor. Riot and later organized revolution broke out and in 1912 a provisional republican government was set up with Yuan Shi-Kai as president. The people were not ready for a republic, it seemed, and they failed to grasp many of its main principles. In fact, while a republic in name, it was practically a monarchy. They voted whether to continue this form of government and decided to do so. China remained neutral in World War I until 1917 when it declared war on Germany. At the peace table Japan demanded the Shantung peninsula but through the interference of the United States it was given to China. Now China has been plunged into another war and is a battle ground today. What will be the outcome? No one knows when China will add another page to its long and glorious history.

No matter where you begin to think of China these days you come right back to the Burma Road.

History and history alone will determine the change from a wall to an open road. Its record is written in blood and great agony. And even beyond the pages of the record are the great heartaches and mighty hopes of more than four hundred million people as they watch the storm that topples the wall and leaves in its place an open road. There was a time-and it seems very long ago, when our mission- aries to China regularly boarded their boats at some port on the west coast, sailed undisturbed over the waters of the Pacific, spent a day in Haurii, another day in Tokyo, landed peacefully in Shanghai, and then traveled by slow river boat to the province of Hunan, or the one assigned to them. Today-if they can get permission from the government to travel to and from China, almost anything can happen, such as: ea breath-taking ride over the Pacific on a Clipper, or on ammunition-loaded freighter to Australia with a dash over the Himalayasg a loaded troop ship around the Cape of Good Hope. But there will always be the Burma Road. They may go around the curves, that is, those that are in Free China, in a truck, or they may sail majestically over it in one of those giant birds that have made our world the One World that it is. And the Burma Road, even though it is closed at one end, remains the symbol of free China's new place in our now small world. RUTHELLEN GRUPE - T6'7'77Z TILIZCC. 14 D095 fe! jim KAW MM! The great and mighty ruler, Shih Hwang-Ti, Wanted to see his fame spread far and wide And to be known as the First Emperor Of that vast land which bore his father's name. For old Chin's son ruled China now, and greed For fame spurred him ever onward, until At last, he even stooped to kill the men Whose wisdom was renowned throughout the land Who told of other rulers and their deeds. He also built a huge bonfire and burned All records which pertained to former kings. But that one deed which hist'ry stresses most ls the building of the Great China Wall. The scattered forts which kept the Tartars out Were linked together by a long roadway Built on the top of a high brick wall That stretched from central Asia to the sea. For fifteen hundred miles it twists and turns Along mountain ridges and lowland plains. Behind this wall, a mighty nation grew And prospered though cut off from all the world. But like some strange snake which coils round its prey And stops its breath, so did this great wall soon Choke off the breath of China, for without Knowledgeof the outside world, its progress, Always slow, became steadily slower And slower and finally stopped. The work Of more than a million men who had helped To make the name of Shih Hwang-Ti well known Was left to ruin 5 Mongols invaded The land and added it to their empire. But this empire was overthrown by Ming Who in turn the mighty Manchus conquered. During their reign, trade with the world began And progress flourished again, the people Also increased in both knowledge and strength. Today, this great country which once did seek To cut herself off from the outside world Can now be reached by land and sea and air. It has rightfully earned its place among The great nations on earth. We salute you- The children of China-China, our ally. JEANNE HEINICKE - Team Threr l Ll Ll'I I 5 S 15 grzfcoagfure China is a land that has been successfully farmed for forty centuries, and has a population over three times that of the United States. In com- parison, the United States is a nation in its infancy. Agriculture is the most important industry in China and the one most highly venerated, as well. With the exception of the extremely mountainous regions, all of China is covered with a fertile soil. Though the most primitive methods and implements are used, the exceeding care and patience of the Chinese in fertilizing and tilling the soil assures good crops. Every bit of refuse on a Chinese farm is put back in the ground for fertilizer. The land along the hills and on the upper levels is often irrigated by Water from the streams. Since these hills are graded into terraces, the entire country, in many of the river valleys, has the appearance of a vast garden. Wheels containing buckets, operated either by animal power or by men, raise the Water to the first level, a second wheel takes it from this to the next, and so on until it has been transported to the highest point in the district to be irrigated. Then it is distributed through small chan- nels, so that each section of land receives its share. Rice, the principal food of the people, is by far the most important crop. The teaplant furnishes an important crop, as tea is the universal beverage and is drunk in large quantities. The raising of the opium poppy has long been a curse to the Chinese people. Mulberry trees are exten- sively cultivated, as the leaves furnish food for the silkworms. From this silk the Chinese make rugs, tapestries, and many articles of clothing. We have much to expect from the friendship and intelligent coopera- tion between the United States of America and her great ally, China. China has much to lear fr mode ethods of agriculture, while the United States of Arner s ch o learn from Chinals centuries of experience. ' ILLIAM KOEDERITZ - Term Four. W 4 W4 16 l .!4lfL6!

The casual citizen has little or no conception of the humiliation, and disgrace, the sacrifices, and suffering, which China has faced during those years. The initial battles fought in China, regardless of how heart-rending they have been, reveal the lack of unity, which has proved fatal to the Chinese in many instances, China had no encouragement towards the defense of her country. The mere capture of Nankow, Peiping, Tientsin, Tsinan, and Tsingtao was only a prelude to the atrocities which were to follow. At 10:35 a.m. on October 2, 1937, the bombs began raining down on a helpless city, Nanking, Chiang Kai-shek's southern capital. The first wave did little damage, for it was driven off by American-made Curtiss Hawk pursuit planes, manned by the Chinese pilots. At 11:15 a.m. the second wave appeared. On, and on, hour after hour, day after day, week after week, the raids continued. The Japanese were determined to wipe Nanking off the face of the earth, nothing was spared. At the railway station, and its Hsiakwan slums, the too young, too old, too poor, too sick, or too ignorant to have left Nanking, were blown to Kingdom Come. For those that died there, and their blood still stains the streets, the war was short-lived. The bombs had fallen. Their miserable huts were ignited, the people were blown to bits, the living were seared, the dead cremated. Yes, for these the war was over, their suffering was no more. The Chinese did not ask for this war. Nevertheless, it was infiicted upon them. They have fought, they have cried, they have suffered, they have died. On and on, the battle of China continued: people died, cities were destroyed, the burden of war became heavier. In her humility, in her sacrifices, in her glory, China has stood. She is determined to fight. Her cities have been gutted, and her people killed. But China stands. To China, a country of four hundred million people, no one sacrifice is too great.

So many men have I killed thus With knife, with gun, with strength of hand. Is there some reason? None I know. What be there gained, save death and death And still retreat to deeper lines? Once and twice and thrice thus we Have fought and turned and run as hard. Or is there now a joy in death When heroes fall, for honor saved? They fear not death by knife nor gun, But face the foe with dauntless eyes. This cannot be, this hollow fame. Not so we fight in this my world, But fight for things, for food, for life, But fight we on despite lost hope. father speaks .' I know this too this dark despairg It twangs and burns the heart of me. For seven years I too have fought To fall, go back, and back again. At first I thought adventure nigh To raise and hold a gun on high. But once was mine the bitter taste Of enemy, of war, of death, There was no longer zeal for praise, But greater love for country now. When once I saw the foe's dread deeds, Revenge burned high and higher still Till not tenfold their number dead Would satisfy my bloody soul! son speaks : Raise not again the bloody past 'Tis bitterness enough for me To know that dead are friend and foe, To see again a mad man's dreams. Can we endure this hellish rain: For still we are but mortals now Condemned for time to earthly lot. 18 The The No longer do We fight for gain. We hunger, thirst, and hug this earth. Still do the bullets bite and kill And tear the mortal flesh apart, Still do the smells of death remain And groans of dying fill the air. Does vict'ry come from loss, defeat? Is hope thus born of blackened earth? Or will all earthly life now cease Upon the brink of vanity? father speaks .' These things full Well I know, my son, I'm not too blind as now to see The fearful weather thus to come. I'm not too dull as now to hark The jeering laugh, the hopeless sigh. Come from your shell of self-concern! Dream not Within your morbid soul Of what could be, but of what is, Of barren ground, of bleak gray sky, Under which a friend does lie. Is it in vain, this solemn death? Is now the cause we fought for lost Because the foe has triumphed still? Up from the grave some fretful night Will come to us a long dead ghost And in revengeful Wrath will say, I died in vain, my cause you lostg I died in vain, my cause you lost. Think, my son, of conscience now, Can this be borne throughout your life Questioning the God's own Word? 'Tis better now to die, and live Than now to live, and later die. For even if in War We perish No empty phrase shall mark our grave But greater still, a noble death Advancing further freedom's cause. Nay, not in this so falter, son, For falt'ring now is later loss. son speaks : Forgive me, father, not were mine Those empty Words untimely born Of lips so sick of endless War. e But now I see a picture bright, The fog is gone, the sky is clear. 19 What all we fight so nobly for Is outlined in a symbol clear. Undying cause forefathers held Is ours today, if only be The courage ours to stand and cope, To be as mountain 'gainst the sea, To be henceforth the watered tree, To lose its leaves as winter comes, Each spring again to rise in bloom. I see so well, my father, now, The back is not quite broken yet. The father speaks: To higher ground, my son, my son. The fight is long, the iight is hard, But fight on still with all your strength. 'Tis not a mortal cause we fight, A cause for wealth or power's gain, But something greater, greater still, The right of man to equal beg A certainty for future man, His life shall be a warless one Lived in freedom's own delight These things our life so hangs upon Will ne'er release this bond from us. Though conquered be our holy earth, Still not has been in vain our fight. For though our cause this year has failed In hearts and words shall it live on, Until one day this China ours, Is of the freemen's holy race.

In what other place or places had it stood in years gone by? Was it made by slave, peasant, or palace artisan? Did it adorn a temple, garden, or throne room? Perhaps a priestess daily filled it with incense. The intricate design gives the onlooker the feeling of being in a gar- den of lotus blossoms, camel-back bridges, and moon gates. Perhaps a maiden made it her duty to fill it with peach blossoms. I wonder how it feels to forever stand glassed in for the eyes of the world to gaze upon it.

A married woman in China is known by her hair. In some parts of the country, the night before the wedding, some friends of the bride trim the hair on her forehead. Two threads are twisted and rolled over the forehead with the fingers. The twist of the threads pull out the fine fringe of hair around the forehead, giving it a square appearance. The bride must have her hair trimmed regularly to keep the shape correct. Some of the women today have given up this custom and use the wedding ring as we in the western nations do. V Meanwhile in the groom's home, the courtyard is made ready for the guest. High up on all sides of the awning that covers the yard, windows are covered with red bats and red joy characters. On the wedding morning, a richly embroidered sedan chair is brought to the groom's home, to await the time when the sedan bearers, accom- panied by musicians, drums, and gongs, go to get the bride. Before the chair leaves the groom's home, all the gods are worshipped and incense is burned and the chair searched for evil spirits. The mis- tress of ceremonies takes care of this procedure. She must be married, her husband still living, and must be a mother. She goes over the chair with a light and mirror so that the evil spirits may catch sight of them- selves and run off in fright. The chair is then sent to the bride's home. The groom goes by car, or carriage, to the house of his parents-in-law to be, and kowtows to them. The groom's family sends trays of fruit and food to the bride's family as a gift. In Peking, a married woman attendant usually goes to get the bride, riding in a green embroidered sedan chair. She takes with her the red flowered, lavishly trimmed bridal robe that is put on the bride just before she steps into the bridal chair, and a red kerchief is put on ,her head at the same time. The robe may be the property of the groom's family or borrowed for the occasion. The robe is only worn till the ceremony is over. The bride, dressed in her gay garments, awaits the chair. As she enters it, an apple is given her, and she takes one bite and leaves the rest behind. The bite of apple is kept in her mouth until she arrives in her 22 own bedroom, in her new home: she then takes it out and puts it on the K'ang. This is done to secure peace, Ping being the first of two char- acters meaning apple, and also the first of two characters meaning peace. When the bride arrives at the groom's house, a string of firecrackers are set off to scare the evil spirits. The chair is carried through the court yard, over a hs'p'em or fire basin containing glowing charcoal. After the chair arrives in the public room, the groom shoots three pointless arrows under the chair to scare the evil spirits away. The chair, from which the carrying rods have been removed, is placed in the middle room, and set down by the bride's bedroom door. Two matrons assist the bride to get out. As she alights she steps on a horse's saddle inside the door of her room, under which two apples have been placed. The apples are put into one of her hands and a gilded vase in the other. The bride and groom, and the two attendants go before a white paper tablet, representing heaven and earth, to worship. She is then led to her bedroom, and set on her K'ang or bed, and the groom sits down too, at the more honorable place at the left, and she at the right. The groom uncovers her face by lifting the red kerchief that has covered her face till now. A gilded pot of wine and two cups are then brought in. A little wine is poured in each one, and one is given to the bride and one to the groom. The groom takes a sip, gives it to one of the attendants, who pours a little in the cup of the bride, and a little from her cup into his. Then they sip from the mixed wine. This is called I wan youam, viz., to make a perfect circle. After the ceremony, a brass basin is brought in and placed upside down on the K'ang near them. Underneath this are put the two apples and a small box, the characters for this being Ping ho, meaning harmony Before the bride left her own home, thirty-two meat dumplings Cchu po pol were prepared. These are taken to the bride's new home and cooked for the groom and bride. These are placed on the upturned basin, instead of a table. Thus the first meal is eaten in harmony. The bride may not get down from the K'ang until the members of her own family come. Before seeing the guests the newlyweds go before the household gods, and finally before the mother and father of the groom, and then they receive their guests. At eight o'clock in the morning of the third day, the guests are again invited. The ceremony of emptying the Gold and Silver precious vase is performed. The bride and groom sit on the K'ang, tailor fashion. A 23 matron of a prosperous family empties the vase. Whoever has the most in their laps will have the most wealth and happiness. On the fourth, sixth, eighth, and tenth day after the wedding the bride goes to her father's house and worships the gods. In the first month after the marriage the bride goes every morning and salutes her parents-in-law with a ching An, a bow, which means greeting of peace. She also salutes them before each meal. After the first month it is her duty, as the newest bride in the family, to wait on her senior's guest. If the mother-in-law is harsh and tyranni- cal she can make the bride's life miserable, for the daughter-in-law should be submissive to her regardless of treatment.

Brook the wide ocean deep on wings that shine silver in the sky. Descend to the good black earth that appears to turn green when the seedlings raise their leaves to the sky. Come to the land of wisdom and partake of its simple grace. There see a people of simple taste who never seem to hurry. Heal the land of its scarring wounds of war, comfort children born in poverty, and lift a nation from its helpless disgrace. Then come all you who are brave and gather round Homer Lea's grave 3 thus he will know that his race has come to finish the work he had begun. Then go to the land to work and play, thus spoil the Japanese conqueror's plan to live in feudal splendor plundering the weakened sur- rounding lands. Let those who rant and rave about the grave white man's burden, let them speak to a stone-deaf ear for they themselves are to propriety slaves. Then settle on the land and converse with the people as man to man. Remember, your goal is first to make friends and establish a mutual trusty for that is the way to peace on earth, to men of good-will.

There, the swift passage of our precious few earthly years is accepted just as naturally as the falling of the leaves in autumn. This outlook on life causes time to be limitless. That which happens is not past. It is all a part of their now. The social system of China is a very dramatic one. It supports no class or caste system. The family is the all-important social group. The Family Eldership descends from the homestead founder through the eldest son. So a man may be Family Elder in a household where he had uncles of greater age belonging to an earlier generation. When a boy is born in a family, there is great rejoicing. Every man wants sons to carry on his name, and to honor him after death. Sons are spoiled and given everything they cry for. Girls are not so welcome, especially among the poor. They are more or less ignored, and their happiness is not considered. They must wait on their elders and their brothers. An old proverb says that one deformed son is better than eighteen daughters as wise as the apostles of Buddha. .Each daughter of a homestead has the right of maintenance until marriage. It is expensive for a man to marry off his daughter, for he must provide everything she will need in her new home. Her dowry should contain clothes for four seasons, and adequate household furniture. She cannot be kept at home unmated even on the excuse that she is nec- essary to care for someone ill or aged, nor can she be forced to work to help support her home. Though Confucianism is called a religion, it is rather a system of ethics, for Confucius spoke of goodness and not of God. He said, Respect the gods, but have little to do with them. His purpose was to make men better in this life. His most famous rule of conduct is the negative golden rule which says, What ye would not that others should do unto you, do ye not unto them. But the country has been held back by his teaching that the past is more perfect than the present or the future. The effect is that the Chinese usually thinks that what was good enough for 'his grandfather is good enough for his children. Buddhism preaches kindness to all living things and persons. There is no Creator. A beginning does not exist, so there is no end, or, if there is an end, it is nothingness. There is no hope of a heaven. The Buddhists stand for self-repression. Taoism grew out of the teachings of Lao-Tse who sought to estab- lish a workable system of practical morality, emphasizing passive 25 individualism, as a means of attaining the greatest good. Many supersti- tions, having nothing to do with the doctrines of Lao-Tse, have crept into Taoism, and it is, today, little more than a degraded system of spirit worship. There are also many Mohammedans in China, especially in the northwest. Christianity was not introduced in China until the sixteenth century. However, today there are a growing number of Christians in China, reaching up into the millions. The reform of education is the greatest problem now before China. An enormous number of the adult population are illiterate. Only twenty- five per cent of China's children were attending schools when war with Japan broke out in 1937. The government, in 1903, appropriated commis- sioners for three high offices to study the whole question. The result was that a board of education was established in Peking to decide upon meth- ods of introducing Western education and a school system of different grades. For ages .there has been a special literary class which knew the lit- erature of their China. Examinations, confined chiefly to moral philosophy and literature, were held at frequent intervals in the chief city of each province, for the purpose of awarding degrees to scholars, in modern science schools, who wished to enter civil or military service. One imme- diate result was the establishment of the Peking University, a fiourishing institution before the war. At the present time only ten per cent of the populace of China are literate. There is such an insufficient number of teachers that older pupils must teach the younger ones. Many of the teachers are living on no wages, and find it necessary to earn their bread by peddling in the streets. Countless school rooms have been wrecked by bombings from the Japa- nese. Those that remain are dreary and dark and sometimes are nothing more than makeshift rooms built of mud. Many pupils have to stand outside at the window to get their lessons, and write on boards on the backs of their classmates. Books are scarce, outdated, and in very poor condition. Sometimes as many as twenty pupils must share one book! The Chinese are ruled more from the cemetery than from the Emper- or's palace. The care of their dead is often a more important duty than the sustenance of the living. Always the past is the Golden Age, and reverence for a man or thing is in proportion to age. When the body of a deceased has been dressed for the journey, it is comfortably placed in the coffin with changes of clothes, perhaps books to read, and the necessary passports and money conveniently near the hands. At intervals silver paper cash is thrown to the right and left of the coffin by the sons of the deceased, to bribe the devils who might be wandering about. Priests send Heavenly gifts made of papiermache to the sky by fire. Never is any recently deceased or 26 ancestor spoken of as dead. On all feast days the family members send them, by fire, gifts symbolizing wishes for good fortune in Heaven. They are very much alive on the lips of their families. For sixty days after the departure of the deceased the family wears coarse cotton gowns, white shoes, and a white knot in the hair, while the deceased is on the road through Hades. After sixty days a gray gown is worn, black shoes and blue hair strings. The women may wear no orna- ments until the passing of one hundred days. Until three years have gone by they wear neither silk nor satin. No person who has passed on can dispose of any material thing he has accumulated, thus advancing the fortune of one relative over another, or preferring a friend above Family. The Family is a unit, and is heir to all the credits and all the liabilities of each and every member. If, on departure, the person wishes to be separately established, his earnings do not fall into the common fund, nor will his fortune ever be enlarged upon by any inheritance from the homestead. But if the person decides to continue of the homestead, then his dwelling place is kept ready to welcome him. One separately established has made a life decision and may not return. Much thought is given to the location of the graves and the ceme- teries. To be buried properly is the ambition of every Chinese. The possession of a handsome coffin is often the most desirable of assets, and is frequently a most acceptable present to elders or relatives. The dead are honored by banquets, and in the crises of life, ancestors are appealed to for help and direction. In ancient times human sacrifices were made at the graves of the dead. In social life there is a strict separation of the sexes. The prelimi- naries of marriage are taken charge of by the parents or professional match-makers, called go-betweens. Marriage is the most important act in life. A woman can demand that the Elders of her homestead negotiate a suitable marriage for her. Chinese cookery for the most part is wholesome. They have some peculiar dishes, however, such as soup made from a glutinous substance found in birds' nests, shark fins, deer sinews, and duck tongues. Their drink is brewed from rice and is a light amber in color, tasting somewhat like a mild beer. Liquor is drunk from tiny cups at mealtime. Tea is drunk before or after meals only, in cups that have no handles or saucers, but have covers which hold the draw. After partaking of a meal, the Chinese wipe their hands and faces with steaming hot towels. It is thought bad to put cold water in their stom- achs, so it is first boiled. The truth of the matter is that their water is not fit to be drunk without first killing the diseases which infest it. When a hostess lifts her teacup to her lips, the polite moment to say farewell has arrived, and then one should go no matter how much the hostess begs one to stay. 27 The clothing worn by the Chinese is the best in the world from the standpoint of common sense. It varies in thickness and type of material with the different seasons of the year. Chinese men and women dress almost exactly alike. Their Wearing apparel differs only in their footgear and headdress. Blue is the tradi- tional color for civilians. Purple and yellow are colors of nobility, and red is worn on festivity days, expressing merriment and joy. Black is considered depressing. The Chinese girls of the upper class were still binding their feet only a few generations ago. Their feet were bound tightly in early childhood, so tight that they could not grow larger. After the long years of torture were over, the ladies with the lily feet tottered around as best they could. These Chinese girls rarely went out of the house, and heard of the outside world only from servants or visitors, contracting their circles of friends rather than enlarging upon them. The greatest holiday in China is New Year's Day, before which debts are paid and clothing bought. This is everyone's birthday, all the people dating their ages from this day. A child is considered one year old at birth. So, if a child is born twenty-four hours before New Year's Day, he is considered to be in his second year. , With China time flows on and on and on like a river-never starting, never stopping. There is never a yesterday, only a tomorrow. Today does not matter. All spend their daily lives planning for tomorrow. And so it has been since the remarkable civilization of China began.

And everything was still--deathly still. No water buffalo ploughed the rice fields. No children played on the farms. No women worked in the homes. The farms were deserted, evacu- ated. The distant thunder of guns had sent the people in mad Hight from their homes, back into the mountains where there was safety. In the entire valley, there was only one sign of life. A group of chil- dren trudged along the road, accompanied by a young girl. The girl was small and slender, with heavy black hair and dark eyes. She was trying to hurry, but her weary legs refused to move quickly. Her name was Sue Lin. Sue Lin had been beautiful, and wealthy, a few years ago. But too much worry, and too little food, had made her thin and gaunt. She was too young to have such heavy responsibilities, but there was no one else to take them. Alone, she cared for thirteen orphan children. She found food and shelter for them, and tried to find safety. Two of the children had died, despite all of Sue Lin's efforts. But the number grew, rather than decreased. There were more and more homeless, starving children, and Sue Lin could not refuse to take them. Sometimes, however, people who were evacuating took one or two with them. Only today, she had carried little Tsien, and all his belongings, seven miles to a family which had agreed to take him to the mountains. While with the family, Sue Lin had heard some wonderful news. A refugee train was leaving the next morning from a village twenty-six miles away. She had rushed back to the little mission where she and the children were staying. They had gathered together their scant belongings, and now they were on their way. But the children were little, and they tired easily. If only she could get them there on time! Then her worries would be over. With the children safe, she could do the thing she secretly longed to do, become a nurse. Then she felt that she would really be doing something to help win the war. With these encouraging thoughts in mind, Sue Lin forced herself to hurry up the steep hill. Oh, please, children, try to hurry, she said urgently. There is only one train, and we must get it. But, Sue Lin, panted Sen Li, a serious little boy of eight, there are no tracks in the mountains. How can the train take us there ? It will not take us all the way, Sen Li. But when the tracks end, we will find some other way to go on. But we must hurry. The train will leave at dawn, and it is a far trip to the village. In the gray morning, before dawn, the railroad station was a mass of activity. The train itself was almost indistinguishable beneath its load 30 of human cargo. People, mostly women and children, jammed the interior, and overflowed onto the steps. The roof was crowded, too, with furni- ture, clothing, and people. And still swarms gathered about the train. An army officer finally appeared, .and tried to make himself heard above the din. He soon gave up in despair, and motioned for the train to start. The bell tolled out its warning, and the old engine coughed uncertainly. Then the train chugged out of the little town at a snail's pace, while peo- ple ran after it and tried frantically to get aboard. Back at the station, a weary group of children stumbled toward the tracks. Sue Lin looked about desperately for the train. Then she saw it -a hundred yards down the track, steam away toward safety. The chil- dren saw it at almost the same moment. One little girl clung to Sue Lin and sobbed. The rest stood silent, unable to believe their eyes. Sue Lin suddenly felt weak. She wanted to cry out, to stop that train somehow. They had to get on it! They had walked all night to get here. It was not fair that they should miss the train by a minute. As she stood there, an idea dawned upon her. Slowly her head lifted with new hope, the last hope that was left to her. Wait here, children, she said hurriedly. Over here, away from the crowd. Do not stray away and get lost. I shall return as soon as I can. Sue Lin, will you find a way for us to go to the mountains ? little Lan Ying asked anxiously. I hope so, dear. Now remember, stay right here. With that, Sue Lin disappeared in the crowd. A few minutes later, she was standing before a high-ranking army oflicer, in the army headquarters. She stated her request, knowing before she began that it was almost hopeless. Nevertheless, she begged and explained and pleaded for half an hour. The officer was polite and kind, but his answer remained Uno. Sue Lin felt tired and beaten. She had not slept for two days. Her legs trembled from the strain of the long walk. Her arms ached from carrying the little children when they could, go no further. She made one last desperate effort. I know that it is a strange request, but these children cannot hold out much longer. They are hungry, and exhausted, and their nerves are at the breaking point. We walked all night to get here, but missed the train. This is our last hope -her voice dropped down to nothing, as if she were too tired to finish. I should like to help you, the officer explained, but surely you understand that it is impossible. It is true that we permit people to ride on army vehicles going to the mountains, but we could not possibly take thirteen children. They would become scattered, and would have no one to look after them. The soldiers driving the trucks are too busy with their problems to take care of some helpless children. 31 But they are not helpless, Sue Lin exclaimed. They could be divided into little groups, an older child with each tiny one. And when they get to the mountains, people will be glad to care for them, as I did. Perhaps you are right, he conceded. But even if all of that could be arranged, they would not be safe in army trucks. Enemy aircraft may find them. Would they be any safer here ? she asked quietly. By tomorrow this town will be deserted, and enemy planes may be dropping bombs. There are many trucks which go to the mountains with wounded, or for supplies. Please, sir, let these children go in them. The officer frowned thoughtfully. The girl was right, there was no time to waste. And a group of children could not be left behind in a deserted town. He thought for a few minutes, then his brow cleared. He nodded slowly several times. Very well, the children will be evacuated. But what about you? Will you want to go with them ? Sue Lin shook her head. No, there are others who need to leave more than I do. And, anyway, I-I would like to become a nurse. Then I would be doing something more important for my land. It is a fine idea, the man replied gently, but there is no time to speak of it now. You must hurry. He spoke rapidly for several minutes, giving her many directions and instructions. As she finally turned to leave, he added, When the children are all started on their way, come back here. Sue Lin nodded and thanked him, and slipped quickly from the office. She ran down the street, her weariness forgotten, her heart singing. By evening, the children would be on their way, and she would be free to be a nurse. She ran for several blocks, and finally stopped, out of breath. She stood at a corner, flushed and gay. Sue Lin pushed back her damp black bangs with a childish gesture, watching people dart about the streets. It was as she stood there, breathing heavily, that Sue Lin had her first premonition of danger. Then she heard it, above the noise of the people-the thunder of airplanes! Everyone had heard it now. People were running madly in all direc- tions, and Sue Lin found herself carried along with them. She tried to get through a crowd which was hurrying toward shelter. She pushed through and raced down the street toward the station. The children! They would be terrified. The roar was deafening now. The planes were almost overhead. Sue Lin's throat burned, and her weary feet stumbled, but she dashed on. The thin scream of the first bomb seemed almost on top of her. A geyser of wood and stone shot up from somewhere near the station as the bomb exploded. The impact threw Sue Lin onto the street. 32 1 Sue Lin lay still, her face and hands scratched by the rough street. It had lasted only a little while. The birds of death were flying on, prob- ably to bomb the train, if they could. Sue Lin forced herself to rise from the street, dazed at the destruction about her. She stumbled on towards the station. Part of it was a pile of rubble, the rest was still standing. Sue Lin picked her way through the wreckage up to the door. Her heart almost stopped as she entered. The roof had caved in onto most of the building. If the children were under it- A faint cry broke through the deathly stillness. Sue Lin looked about in vain for a second, then she saw them. Partly protected by a huge post, her little group still huddled where she had left them. Several were scratched and bruisedg two were hys- terical, and almost all were crying. But they were alive-all thirteen of them. Sue Lin hurried them out, before they could see the horrors about them. She herself felt sick as she glanced around. But here, in the midst of the horror and confusion, Sue Lin's path suddenly lay clear before her. First, she must start the children on their way. Then, she must return to the ruins. The bombing had doubtless made many more children orphans, and someone must care for them. It would be her job. Reso- lutely, she put aside her dream of becoming a nurse. That would come later, perhaps, when all the children were safe. Maybe, by then, the war would be over, and there would be no need for nurses. Yes, even in the face of danger and destruction, Sue Lin could find hope. For Sue Lin was young, and it is the youth of the world which keeps hope high when all others lose it. But Sue Lin did not realize any great significance in her thoughts. She merely gathered the children together, and led them from the wrecked building. As they went down the street, she said encouragingly, Come, children, it is not far now. Soon you will be safe, in the mountains. A SHIRLEY OSWALD - Term Seven. . - Y ' Q 9 l NA as 33 GULF' of6LVL6! It was another spring in New China. The Yangtze had subsided rapidly and the small, well-irrigated rice fields were under cultivation. All who were able were up at three o'clock and in the fields after their meager breakfasts. Ni Lan stopped in the middle of the road and watched the people at the endless task of planting and weeding. Her dark hair was twisted in a smooth coil and lay neatly on her neck. Her dark eyes betrayed the turmoil of her mind although her smooth face showed nothing. Finally, she raised the heavy water buckets and went on her way to the house. At the sight of the crude building, her mother plucking a lean duck and her grandfather resting on the doorstep before returning to the fields, she knew again the great anger she had felt when her mother had said, No, Ni Lan, I must have you here to care for the children. Mine, and the two orphaned children of your sister. I cannot allow you to work in a factory. Ni Lan remembered bitterly the year when she was twelve, impetu- ous and willful. Against her parents' wishes she had become converted by a woman missionary and entered in a girls' school. Her grandfather and parents had refused to see her for three years. Then they had sent a letter telling of their conversion to the new faith and begging her to return home. Ni Lan had had six happy months at home and then six in the uni- versity. With the coming of the enemy, her parents had given up their wealth, had sent for Ni Lan and had begun the weary march inland, and further inland. Her elder brother and sister had died fighting and her father was in the mountains with the guerrillas. Only she, strong and willing, must stay home and care for children. She lowered the buckets carefully to the ground and went to see what the children were doing. As usual, the youngest, Teh, was chasing the cat and the four older children were sitting in the shade, reading their lessons aloud or drawing the characters in the dirt. They studied every morning, and then went in search for small branches or chips for the fire. At two they left for school. School could be held only in the afternoon, as that was the only time the teacher could leave the fields. The teacher had been a university student, had been crippled in the march inland, and now taught school since he could not fight. As she returned to the front of the house she heard her mother and grandfather discussing again, as they did whenever they were alone, the enemy to the east and the mountains to the west. If the enemy should come closer they could not flee because an old man and young children could never escape by the rocky trails. They spoke, too, of the shortage of food and of the children's lean, hungry faces. 34 When they saw her coming, they were silent. Again the bitterness swept through herg Old enough to care for children, to cook and sew, but not old enough to discuss their problems. She sank down on the doorstep as her grandfather left, and began to work on the cloth shoes for the children. She had barely started on the second shoe when her thread ran out. Impatiently, she arose and started for the cooperative house in the village to try and get another strand. Perhaps the man would give her no more as she had been given a new piece yesterday. The man was very kind, explained the shortage of goods, and then politely but firmly said uno. Comeback next week, Ni Lan, for your thread. I can give you only two strands a week and you have had two. She walked from the house with downcast head. As she turned a corner a running soldier ran into her and dropped several papers which blew around the street. Oh, I am so sorry. I was in a great hurry with papers for my leader. His voice was kind, his eyes a rich brown, his figure straight and lean. As her eyes met his, she smiled and stooped to gather up his papers. As he straightened, he said, If it is not too discourteous may I ask if your name is Ni Lan? Yes, and you are Cheng of the house of Wong. It is good to see an old face among so many new faces. - . ' We are all brothers in the new cause. May I meet you at three at the bridge? I would like to talk over the days at the university. She hesitated and then answered, Yes, if my mother permits. I, too, may be unable to see you if I have a task to do. Do not Wait. He smiled and then continued down the street towards the magis- trate's house where the ofiicers were quartered. As she walked home she thought how fortunate it was that her charges would be in school, her grandfather resting and her mother wash- ing at the river. That would leave only little Teh to care for unless her mother took him to the river for a bath. At two the children were washed and sent off to school. At two- thirty her mother left for the river with a huge bundle of clothes, a large stick to beat the clothes with, and little Teh trotting sedately beside her. A short time later Ni Lan left. The watch she had received from the missionary as a birthday present was always wrong and this was one time she could not be late. As she approached the bridge she thought at first that she was either too early or too late. Then she saw him leaning against the rail. He waved and as she came up said, 35 I thought your mother had kept you away. I have been waiting. I am sorry. My watch does not always run. Here, sit down. I have been composing some verses in my head. The land is very beautiful now. I, too, do that. I wish I might have attended the university for longer than six months. I had two years and then joined the army. Tell me What has hap- pened to you since then. At first the words came slowly, then she found herself telling him in detail of the journey inland. As she finished he asked, What are you doing now, Ni Lan? How are you helping the cause? . She clenched her fists and the bitter things she had been thinking came in a wish. I am taking care of children. That is a job for an old woman. I am young and I have a desire to fight as my father is fighting, or work in the factories as my friends are doing. I am tired of listening to the words of my grandfather and mother. She looked out over the broad fields. This is my land, our land, and I want to fight for it too. The new cause is good, little Ni Lan, but the old Chinese customs are also good and I believe in some of them. One is that you should respect your elders. She realized that what he said was true and she felt ashamed. You are right but that is very hard at times. I must say good-bye now. The children will be returning from school. A Good-bye, Ni Lan. Perhaps we shall meet again. May all your dreams come true. He turned and walked toward the village, while Ni Lan returned home. The next two weeks she continued with her work. Cheng had made her see that she, too, was doing something worthwhile. And yet, when- ever she raised her eyes she saw a huge machine in the clouds and a huge factory. She saw, too, the thousands of bullets pouring from it for the guns of such brave men as Wong Cheng and her father. Then, as she returned with her grandfather from the fields one day, a runner stopped before their house. The old man approached him and asked, ' What do you want here? Who do you look for? I look for those of the Lu clan. I am told they live in this house. I am the elder of the Lus in this house. What do you wish? I have a chit from my commander in the hills. 36 Then you belong to the mountain fighters. What does the chit say? I have not my glasses and cannot read it. Actually, he had never learned to read but was in hopes of doing so some day when he could no longer work. The man glanced at Mother Lu who had just come up, and said, It is of a personal nature. Then come into the gardeng I will have my daughter prepare food for you. The man and the grandfather talked for a long while. It was not until the food had been given to the man and he had departed that the grandfather called Mother Lu and Ni Lan into the garden. His eyes were grave. Daughter, I do not know how to tell you. He stopped and then continued, Your husband and my son has been found shot while on sen- try duty. Mother Lu and Ni Lan were stunned. They had no words to show their great loss. Ni Lan touched her mother's arm timidly. She said the first thing that entered her mind. It will be all right, little mother. I will help you. You have the chil- dren. They are a part of my father. Slowly her mother turned and raised her hand to Ni Lan's shoulder. Her eyes were filled with sorrow but her pride and years of training would not let her tears fall. No, Ni Lan, no little daughter. I am old. I will care for the house and children. You, Ni Lan, are strong and young. There is a great cause to fight for and many deaths to avenge. Go, my daughter, work in the factories. ELAINE FISCHER - Term Seven. Z ' N 71211: 37 v Q I Clainwe painfing Chinese painting is a vast subject with a tradition of more than 1500 years, yet we, the Occidentals, have remained in complete ignorance of this art until the nineteenth century. There is a great demand in Chinese houses for paintings, therefore, copies are numerous. Originals were costly and rare and were owned only by the Emperor or higher officials. These collections were preserved in Japan, but in China most of the originals were destroyed in numerous wars. This lack of survival of ancient art does not distress the critics, because the Chinese preserve the same art spirit from generation to gen- eration, even though early examples perish. Chinese Art is divided into periods or dynastiesg of these, the Tang dynasty is considered the greatest. In this period, the greatest artists lived and worked. Among them were Yen Li-pen, portrait and historical painterg Li-Ssu-hsun, who did richly colored landscapes g' and Wu Tao-tzu, master of Buddhist frescoes. No originals by these men remain, yet they are to China what Raphael and Durer are to Europe. The framed picture does not appeal to the Chinese as it does to us. They make use of two forms, the Chuan, in scroll form, and the Chou, which is to be hung up. Both are kept rolled up. The Chuan is unrolled bit by bit, and enjoyed as a manuscript. It consists of a succession of pictures, though the composition is continuous. There is also the small album picture, as well as a few framed pictures. The Chinese paint on silk or very absorbent paper, using water colors or an ink stone. The brush is held vertically and the arm or hand never touches the paper or table. The Chinese consider only painting and calligraphy as art. In paint- ing they express the manners and taste required by mental and moral culture, the essential qualities of their genius. The Chinese are devoted to literary culture, and artists are evolved from it. First, the artist learns to control his brush, then he learns the names of the delicate colors from literature. He learns from literature the historical and traditional stories of the country, which he will use as subjects. The verses of poets stir his imagination. Many of the painters were poets, and many birds and flowers are painted together because of a poem. Next, the artist copies the old masters and then he is ready for individual work. Few great artists have taught students. Of course, there are pro- fessionals who are taught in art schools as we are, with the aim of learn- ing to win a livelihood. These do not become artists, for they do not have a sufficiently good education. They are artisans of painting, and copy freely from the masters. Naturally these copies vary in quality. Some are easily apparent forgeries, while others need most careful examination. 39 Although there are some foreign influences, knowledge of the art of India, Japan, or Persia is not necessary to know Chinese Art, as it is entirely national in its 450 ideals and spirit of the people. Oil painting has little appeal to Chinese artists. The Chinese don't like naturalism and perspective, their art has an air of lightness, unreality and inspira- tion. Everyday subjects are seldom treated, instead they paint their philosophic contemplation of the world. They believe nothing is perma- nent, even the mountains change their contours. Man is but a small part of creation, he is temporary, the laws of heaven and earth are constant and eternal. Therefore, landscapes are the most important subject and figures are but a small part of the picture. Other favorite subjects are such simple things as bamboo, butterflies, iiowers and birds. Religious paintings are also numerous, though the themes are Buddhist instead of Christian, and even in these, action counts for less than contemplation. The unreality is achieved by the brush strokes. Line and brush strokes possess their own individual life. Individuality increases as the centuries pass. Chinese painting is the language of the brush. Unreality is also achieved by space. No other artist has understood like the Chi- nese how to make empty space a potent factor in design. A Chinese artist once said, The idea is present even where the brush has not passed. The oddest thing about Chinese painting is that the artist supposes that the spectator moves about. Some landscapes are to be viewed obliquely from one side or another, some disclose their greatest beauty when viewed from the front. No rule positioning the eye of the spectator at a fixed angle to the center of the picture would be flexible enough for free spirit of the Chinese artist. After all, painting is of spirit, not an outcome of the study of mathematical laws. I hope that this article has helped you to understand, to a greater extent, Chinese painting. I hope that you now realize the Chinese outlook on life and the complete independence of the Chinese artist. ii if MARILYN GUERDAN - Term Eight. vel fe 40 U X Xb 'W-2.

Excitement and expect- ancy were at a peak when, suddenly, everything became still. All arose as the opening bars of the National Anthem sounded throughout the room to echo and re-echo in the hearts of all present. ' Mr. Kelley then stepped to the microphone and, after a few words of welcome, introduced the Master of Ceremonies, Gene Beckmann. Soon the curtains parted, presenting a gorgeous rhapsody of color, a miniature fairyland. An exquisite palace set off by magnificent lighting effects towered in the background above fluffy white clouds. In the fore- ground was the stately throne. Here sat the beautiful titian-haired retiring Queen, Doris Zorn, between the King, Bill Richardson, and her escort, Bob LaRoche. Doris looked exquisite in a white net dress with torso effect bodice trimmed in tiny glistening beads. She held a huge bouquet of pink roses. Then the football team in orange and blue uniforms marched down the aisle and up on the stage. As soon as the applause died down, the Master of Ceremonies summoned the first maid, Lorraine Feigel, to the royal court. Her escort was Jerry Green. Lorraine looked sweet in a gown of aqua blue, with three-quarter length sleeves and a high-neck. The second maid to make her way to the throne was Vera Grebe. Her gown was black velvet with- a sweetheart neck and three-quarter length sleeves trimmed in dainty white lace. Her escort was Gene Sparlin. Next to appear was Miriam Seergeg escorting her was Bob Neustaed- ter. Miriam looked ravishing in her sparkling white formal, with its billowy net skirt. On her head she wore a calot of black sequins. Next to bow before the retiring Queen was Melanie Beckemeier, look- ing sweet and demure in her dress of blue tulle and satin. The drop shoulders were rows of tiny ruilles, while at the bosom was a large satin bow. Paul Duwe escorted her. The fifth maid, Gertrude Schleifer, appeared on the arm of Ed Rhode. She looked lovely in her dress of blue net. The bodice of black lace was torso effect with a sweetheart neck. Esther Diaz and her escort, Bill Schatt, were the next to walk down the aisle. Esther's gown of white net was set off by dainty drop shoul- ders and sparkling silver sequins. Her hair ornament was a band of sequins. Myrleen Golfinopoulos and her escort, John Simms, were the next to be announced. The skirt of her dress was of white tulle, the bodice of eggshell lace trimmed with a sprinkling of gold sequins. ' Then Joyce Radentz made her way gracefully down the aisle, looking very lovely in a blue tulle and satin formal. The drop shoulders were trimmed with rufiles, while a blue satin bow lay becomingly on the full skirt. In her hair she wore a band of sequins. She was escorted by Bob Smith. Lois Street, escorted by Tom McFarland, was the next to appear. 50 A.. V Lois looked exotic in a satin gown of silver green. She wore jet black opera length gloves and a brilliant clip at her throat, which accented the sparkle of her eyes. The tenth maid to make her entrance was Audrey Havlicek, looking pretty in a dress of rose taffeta. Puff sleeves graced her arms, while on the skirt tiny ruilles formed the shape of hearts. Her escort was Bill Muelhausen. At last the moment that everyone had anticipated arrived, and in answer to the summons of the royal court, the new Football Queen of 1944, Betty Fletcher, and her escort, Allen Benson, entered. Betty looked breath-taking in a dress of powder blue jersey with drop shoulders edged with dainy ruffles. In her hands she carried a huge bouquet of deep red roses. The entire auditorium was silent for a brief moment as she bowed her head to receive the royal crown from the hands of King Richardson. Then rising gracefully, she took her place on the throne and smiled upon her court as only a Queen could smile. The crown bearer was Joyce Wag- ner, and the train bearers were Lois Decklemann and Myra Woodruff. The court entertainers were summoned. First of these was Erna Pfeiffer, she sang Look for the Silver Lining. Betty Brant thrilled the audience with an acrobatic number. A quartet sang the immortal Will You Remember ? from Maytime, after which Shirley Gatzert gave her interpretation of My Mother Told Me, Jean Farber did a tap number. Next came a ballet, presented by six members of the Rhythmic Class. Carol Heidelberg rendered Waiting at the Church. Joe Holman sang All or Nothing at All. The Locker Room Trio sang Sh0rtenin' Bread and Straighten Up and Fly Right. The program was brought to an end after Mr. Schuenemann led the audience in songs and cheers, and after a few fitting words were spoken by our own Coach Fenenga. JACQUELINE PETZOLD. 51 g fmt 1 ' ,. -.. l l tA8 3864 77 All of Clevelandis actors and actresses were nervously biting their fingernails, the stagehands just knew the scenery was going to fall apart, the dancers had already forgotten their stepsg the singers hopelessly tried to hit that high C or low G , confusion reigned everywhere backstage. In this state of mind the participants began the production of Hit the Deck at Cleveland, November 16 and 17. Despite all misgivings, the show went oi beautifully, and for the first time, Cleveland had a sell-out of tickets for both nights a long time in advance of the operetta. Of course, the plot of the play and its humor were partly responsible for the success of it at Cleveland, but the students and teachers must get credit for putting it over. Hit the Deck is a tale of the love of a sailor and a captain's daughter. How they fall in love, disagree over money problems, part, and finally come together again, is a story very amusing and especially entertaining. BETTY REITTER. 52 Dinty . Donkey Dan . . Marine . . .

This book is not only for the Seniors but for everybody who is in some way a part of the school. We had trouble finding a fitting topic for the Beacon for there were so many suggestions. We finally decided upon China. China has been at War for seven years and its people are fighting the same enemy that We are. There should be a close feeling between our country and China. We should know something of their customs and traditions in order to under- stand the Chinese better. SPONSORS MR. BERNARD PETERS . . . . Art Miss DENA LANGE . . General MR. EARL MYER .

' The Student Council is made up of a group of representatives, one from each group. The Council has done much in contributing to the war effort and has sponsored the Junior Red Cross Work. At Christmas time the pupils at Cleveland, under the sponsorship of the Council, filled a great number of stockings for the hospitalized soldiers of this area. The Council also promoted the sales of Tuberculosis Tags, and put Cleveland in front in the Mile-of-Dimes Campaign. The members of the Council managed the sell-out for the operetta, and did a good job selling tickets for other affairs. Bill Richardson Was president for the Fall Term. 146 l I OFFICERS NORMAN BURGDORF ..... . President DONALD BONDURANT . Boys' Deputy FLORENE SILHAVY . . . Girls' Deputy JEAN SNODSMITH . .

We not only act as advisors to students to aid them, but also We act as ushers at all school performances. If a student gets into diiiiculty around the school, any information We obtain from any source is kept strictly secret within our organization.

Unlike other courts, it does not impose sentences upon offenders of the law. It merely tries to put them on the right track and keep them out of more serious trouble by giving advice, by giving friendly counsel, and by discussing with them their problems. Most of the cases referred to the court are not serious, just breaches of C,leveland's unwritten code for good citizenship. This makes the job of the judges one that requires tact, sincerity, and good will, and the judges, therefore, must have a definite sense of right and Wrong. 148 595935 N f Lfydliilftae Row 1: JERALYN REITZ, ELMA MAE HENDERSON, FLORENE SILHAVY, JANE QIEICEQULEY, JEAN SNODSMITH, ELAINE FISCHER, SHIRLEY OSVVALD, COLLEEN Row 2: MARY ANN TEFFT, WILMA LEE STANLEY, WILMA REES, MARTHA JEAN CLOSEEPAT HABERSTROH, CAROL GOERISCH, DOROTHY SHEA, GRACE TIEMAN, GLORIA GOODRIDGE.

All girls belonging try to be Goodfellows and to help their fellow-man. Every Halloween, Christmas, and Easter, parties are given for chil- dren in day nurseries. At these parties they are given refreshments and a small gift. At the last Christmas party every child received a small doll that the girls made, and a stocking filled with candy. To some of these chil- dren it was the only Christmas present they received. To see the happy and contented look on the faces of these children is enough of a reward for the girls.

This work of making other people happy begins every Thursday after school, when the club meets, each girl taking an individual interest in spreading cheer. lt's lots of fun When a group of girls get together making scrap books for hospitals, puzzles for servicemen, and planning parties for the old folks. The old folks enjoy our parties in the Winter and in the spring--everybody has a good time. New members are taken in once a year.

It is during these speeches and debates that rules of parliamentary procedure are learned. Much is gained by the com- ments and criticisms of our sponsor, Mr. H. M. Doxsee, at the close of each meeting. Many meetings include grab-bag speeches which are pre- sented as impromptu talks on subjects suggested by members. These talks range from Can a Cobra Swallow a Python to present-day war conditions. ' The best known program given by Webster Hayne is the Mock Trial in which a case of crime punishable by law is tried. Through the hilarity of impromptu wisecracks and prepared jokes the case comes to a surprise endingg all of which is highly amusing to the audience.

As a member of the City Championship Football Team of 1924, I had the good fortune of training under Coach Bert E. Fenenga. To me, he was more than a coach, for his advice and counsel in matters of good sportsmanship, teamwork, and fair play were of great influence and con- ducive to clean living. His coaching provided a source of inspiration throughout the years. - FENTON FOWLER, Jan.

Coach fig fi 'xl A grim, determined group of Cleveland track men competed in the interscholastics at the Public High Schools Stadium this year, the great- est feat being that the team jumped from seventh to third place in the league standings, showing they had a lot of fighting spirit. There are some members of the team who deserve special mention. Among the Seniors, the outstanding individual was Glenn Boverie, Whose trusty legs carried him to first and second place in highland low hurdles, and made him unanimously a member of the state track team. Bob Minogue was the brightest star in the Junior section, taking a brilliant second in low hurdles, and fourth in the four-forty. The Novice had one record-breaking contestant, John Sims, a versatile young man who came through and jumped nineteen feet, four and one-half inches to smash the broad-jump record. 179 l , Kajelaff Cleveland's 1944 baseball was not as successful as had been hoped. On the basis of the previous year's record, it was expected that Cleveland would be strong in the pitching and hitting departments. Two sore arms greatly handicapped the pitching. Inability on the part of the three or four veterants to hit, until late in the season, hurt the run-getting depart- ment. In spite of this, Cleveland managed to Wind up in third place in the league. Exceptionally fine defensive play kept us in the running. A much larger and stronger veteran team will compete in '45-unless the army interferes. Boys who carried the brunt of the season's play were Niedringhaus, an exceptional catcher, Benish, a young first baseman, Meyer at second, a newcomer, Schmidt at short, and Dinyer at third, two boys with good futures if they go into professional ball, Schuh, a hard hitting outfielder, Ortinau, a good fly chaser, Hoffe, who put in in some time in the outfield, and Ted Beck, a graceful fielder and promising big time player. Hake was the leading pitcher. He had the heart, but his arm could not match his nerve. Kemper also pitched, but was Wild. A good team that deserved a higher rating. 180 .Sjwimrning ,jawn OFFICERS ELMER BREIDERT ...... . captain JACK SAULD ...... Manager MR. NEUMANN .......... Coach Every year, about October 16, the Swimming Team meets for the first time. For approximately six weeks all members hold rigorous train- ing rules and regulations. Then intramural swimming meets are held in St. Louis for the city championship, and finally the state meet. During the '43-'44 season, Cleveland was defeated once by Roosevelt, and took third in the state meet. The return of five lettermen makes our future look brighter for this year. Cleveland's tank men tied for third place with Roosevelt High in the Thirteenth Annual Interscholastic Swim Meet held February 23, 1945, at Wilson Pool, Washington U. A higher place might have been possible if Harry Keough would have been with the team, but we still have Elmer Briedert, city and state champ backstroker, and Bill Stein- bruech and Don Schmitt to make up our second place relay team. The other boys who qualified were Don Schmitt, who took fourth place in the 50 yard free style in the finals, Charles Thone, who was unable to place in the 200 yard free style, and Norman Borcherding, who took fourth place in the 100 yard free style. 181 gddgefgdff February 28, 1945, marked the end of Cleveland High School basket- ball season. After Winning, for the second straight time, the St. Louis City Championship and, for the third time, the Sub-Regional Champion- ship, the team ended the season by losing to Normandy High School in the first game of the Regional Tournament. Nevertheless, the team had an exceptionally fine season record of twenty-one victories and three defeats. The first defeat came at the hand of Springfield, Missouri, in the annual Normandy Christmas Tournament. The score was very close, 34-40. The success of the team was due mainly to the fast ball handling, team-Work, and accurate shooting of Bob Schmidt. Bob lead the district's best in scoring with an average of 14.7 points per game. Harold Uthoff, Ray Meyer, Dave Grimm, Frank Dinyer, Norman Doering, and John Marsh saw a great deal of action this year and played exceptionally fine basketball. This season saw, for the second straight year, Bob Schmidt elected captain of the All-District Team. Harold Uthoff found himself named on the Public High All-Star Team along With Bob Schmidt. Ray Meyer and Frank Dinyer were given honorable mention. The team mascot this past season was Don Jansen, son of Coach Jansen. 182 5 I ,Q N. nf X2 5 V .,,,, f 2214559 ,, N3 ig. t 1 29' iiififzilwliii fu in 3 v mmm sim rf. NI.

Governing this association we have the Girls' Athletic Council, made up of representatives from the physical education classes and the athletic clubs. The duty of the council is to plan a varied program of activities during the fall, winter, and spring seasons, which will provide wholesome recreation for every girl. As an added incentive we give three awards to our outstanding ath- letes. The first award is the C ping the second, an athletic letter, and the highest award, a gold statuette. 184 I wimming OFFICERS JEANETTE ROSE .... G. A. A. Representative MARY MEES . . . . .

Reporter The Hiking Club, under the supervision of Miss Gunther, leaves Cleveland at 3:05 on each Wednesday afternoon during the fall term and proceeds to hike to some point of interest or beauty. The girls in this club are taught to hike properly, so that a long dis- tance will not be tiring, and to notice and appreciate our surroundings more fully. We have had eight hikes this fall of 1944 to the following places: Bellerive Park, Tower Grove Park, Board of Education Greenhouse, Christy Park, Francis Park, which was the longest hike we had, Carpen- ter Branch Library, where the members were shown through the library, Benton Park, and Carondelet Park, where we had our last hike and com- pleted the hiking for the season. The hike always ends in some point of beauty which is enjoyed very much by all. 189 Fi'-V' WA, M OFFICERS TUESDAY WEDNESDAY LA VERNE GEPHARDT . G. A. A. Rep. . CHARLOTTE oBsT GLORIA KLOPMEYER .
