His only light was that shed by a slender taper, and as the taper grew shorter, the monk bent lower over his work. Finally the candle burned to its socket; the monk was forced to postpone his labor until the following morning. As we climb the ladder of the years, we trace the flowering of this seed into one of the greatest factors in life today, the only substitute for experience, that inexhaustible well of knowl- edge — a book. JAMES F. ELTON Pvincipal They Build Too Low Who Build Beneath the Stars (CLASS POEM) Faye Howe, S. P. We ' ve smoothed the bulgint, ' hummocks of black soil ; Upon our crying backs we ' ve carried stones So that their humping sides could never spoil The richness of the upturned earth ' s brown tones. Now we have hauled great blocks of marble, white As stars, and strong as pine trees in a gale, And mixed a creamy- mortar of the bright Sharp-gleaming hopes and dreams that are so frail. We stand with squares of marble at our feet And mortar laying ready to apply. And ' ith the white stones heaped about, the fleet Sharp t vinkle of dead white shows in the sky. The towers we build must pierce the heart of Mars, They build too low who build beneath the stars. 1 JUNE CLASS SONG (To the tune of ' ' Ahva ' s ) Kenxhth L. Collins, S. P. Always glad days go In life ' s ceaseless flow We can ' t forget. Memories like beams Glowing gold with dreams Come softly yet. Commerce days always will be Beads in our love rosary. Commerce though we part, always You will hold our hearts always. Good you were and kind Helping us to find Roads abo ' e the grind, al a s, always. Gkn ing like a flame, always Is our noble name, always. Though our way leads on. Now there blooms a dawn For Commerce -ive ' ll strive on, yes always.

Poor father! He was e ' er kind to his errinij son, and e en these long years of separation cannot have taken his love from me. And little Hermos — little Hermos — The clear gray of the young Arab ' s eyes filmed A itli tears of love and anticipated pleasure. Davna, the slim gray horse he had purchased in Cairo, moved through the early morning at a good pace, for he, too, was looking forward to the comforts of the oasis which lay twenty miles to the south, farther into the depths of the Sahara. It Avill he pleasant to hear the groans of the sleeping camels, and the sigh of the shifting sands once more, rambled on the dreamy Ahmed, and I shall tell my father of the ways of the American ; and with the money hich I have honestly earned, we will add a dozen camels to the string. For my fair Hermos I shall build the little white house with vines, as the one in which resides my friend John Doring, and his wife. I wonder — ' The intense silence, which engulfed the silvery desert for miles around, was relieved by the mono- tonous thud of many hoofs on soft sand. It cannot be, cried young Ahmed, that m ' father has heard of his son ' s arrival, and comes forth to welcome him to the sanctuar ' of his home! But yes — they see me — Ahmed, as he sat the impatient Davna, looked down thoughtfully at his white riding breeches, shirt and light riding boots. I should have been adorned in the robes of my countrymen, he thought vaguely. A party of perhaps twelve horsemen topped a ridge of sand dune immediately before the bov, hesitated, then swept down the inter ening space, leaving a lone horseman silhouetted against the gray sky, in which just a suspicion of dawn appeared. With a little cry, and a futile, protective move- ment toward the small fortune «hich la in the carriers of his silver-trimmed saddle, Ahmed turned Davna and fled as if he were a man possessed. The flowing robes and majestic bearing of the lone horseman proclaimed a bandit sheik, a desert outlaw. When dawn came, with a breath of hot wind, a party of robed horsemen entered a quiet oasis. A slim gray horse, sweating beneath the weight of heavy, silver-trimmed saddle, though empty, tested the coolness of a deep basin of water. The tall, majestic individual sat his heavy black, his covetous eyes taking in the sensitive, drooping ears and slim legs of his recently acquired stable addition. It is a wonder, he spoke in an aside to one of his followers, it is a wonder that a dog of a foreigner should have such taste in the selection of a mount. Did iiu procure the papers from his body? I will then have coffee. Call Hermos! The head-dress throA n back, the renegade ap- peared as he really was: a sad, bent old Arab. There was a light, half tragic, half satisfied, in his cold eyes as he sat drinking, with a lovely girl, the black desert coffee. It is just one more point toward revenge, my Fairest of the Fair. We hope for the return of our beloved Ahmed, but he will never return. Nay, never! Those white dogs ha e him in their in- terests. He is no longer Ahmed Ben Hassen, proud son of the desert, but an American merchant. He cares not enough about his people to write and tell them how he fares. A bitterness unusual even in the passionate tribe to which the old man belonged was in his voice. Bring to me the papers secured from this last degraded offering of fate, and we will see if he was worth the energy my men expended. A fair chase he gave, on that wisp of wind he rode, but now — Ah ! But were all the tribes of the lowly white nations b ' his side, slain by the hand of Ahmed Ben Hassen ' s aged father! Hermos stood before him, straight and lithe in her soft silken robes. The papers were held in one trembling white hand, just out of the old man ' s reach. But, jVIaster, she ventured, perhaps those men whom you have slain and robbed so mercilessh ' are the trea.;ured sons of some equally fond father! Perhaps even they have a Hermos waiting for their safe return in some far countr ' ! ( ! Father of Ahmed, return to your gentle occupation of camel driver, and leave Allah to his work! Even now Ahmed may be returning to us, though for fifteen Pai e 21 years have we waited in vain for his coming! Nay, child ! Speak not so. He will never re- turn. His withered hand shook slightly as he looked through a small packet of unimportant contracts, written in a hand which he could not read. They were placed in a small leather bag, in which many other such packets reposed. And now, he murmered in the soft cadence of his Arab tongue, now we shall see who this last adventurer was. With Hermos ' eyes fastened on the folded pa- per, the old man opened it, glanced over the un- intelligible words, and dropped his gaze to the name at the foot of the document. Slowly, with the white weight of his robes trail- ing at his heels, the father of Ahmed Ben Hassen emerged from the tent. The hot sun was climb- ing higher into the sweltering heavens. The desert bandit ' s eyes sought the hazy horizon, where twenty miles distant, lay a crumpled white torm.. He will — never — return — . On Getting: Off a Crowded Street Car ViviAX Charter Who has not felt the joy of achievement in the accomplishment of a difficult task? Who has not gloried in the victory of a hard-fought battle? He knows how I feel after I alight from a crowded street car — jammed and packed to overflowing with people. Powell Street, bellows the conductor. Hur- riedly I collect my various packages, balance them on one arm while I ring the bell. Crash! There goes a package to the floor. Good heavens! What a time and place to drop a package! I snatch it and begin my struggle to the door. You may believe that a football player has hard work breaking through the opponent ' s line; but he has ten men to help him, while I, all alone, must go through a mob to the exit. With my books as a battering ram and my el- bows as spears, I push my way onward. Umph! My history book punches an old fat gentleman in the chest. Ow! My elbow pokes a young man In the ribs. Ouch! I step on someone ' s toe. I am sure it was on his corn. Hurrah! The vestibule is in sight! I grit my teeth and clench my fists (mentally, you under- stand.) I catch my breath and begin anew my struggle. Hurrah! The door is in sight ! With my strength renewed, I resume the battle. Slashing right and left wit h my books, I gain the door. An- other push — I am on the sidewalk. I heave a sigh of relief — the relief that comes from the knowledge of a task well done. I look at myself — hat on one ear — books bent at the cor- ners — coat twisted half off — bow untied. But where ' s my free-for-all letter? Frost Flowers Kenneth Collins Now I, I fashion frost flowers In the amber night moon ' s beams. I love to fashion frost flowers Into delicate drifts of dreams. But oh! when the golden dryad Of day looks up from bed, My flowers fade into soft white mist And vanish overhead. Page 22 LERSER VANITIES UNFAIR jMarjorie Paxgborx Gizzard Washington, so titled because his pas- sionate affection for chicken had caused him to suffer the indignities of being a jail-bird, was angry with himself and with the world (represent- ed by Clay Center.) In a streak of poker luck he had made a bet that he could be married at any time he chose. He had wondered at the eagerness with which his friend had taken the bet, but after days of secret questing, only black despair filled his heart. The looking glass had revealed the lack of beauty he had supposed was his. A hundred dollars was lots of money to lose for the sake of a wager. It would go such a long way in paying chicken fines, but it looked as if — I craves to knowah some knowledge which I ' spects yo to give me like a gen ' men you ain ' t, broke in a drawling voice upon his thought . Washington ' s ebony jaw sagged in open-mouthed admiration as he surveyed the lemon-hued, vest- pocket edition of Venus before him. At yore dis- position, cream puff! he managed to shoot back at her, accompanied by a welcome to our city smile done in gold fillings. In return she displayed a set of non-false teeth that was the envy of all models for Pepsodent ads. Big boy, I wants to knowah whah Jedge Cum- min ' s lives and I craves the infoh now. Says which? I ' m nothin ' else but his long lost relative late- ly of the Chawklate Cream ' V anities of Noo Yawk. Sho ' l yo must have heard of them. Ellie! Danny! And there she was sobbing on his shoulder. Had his friend happened along just then, he would have endeavored to withdraw the bet. A few memories later, the two arrived at the seedy mansion of the Jedge. Danny ' s lower limbs were doing the Charles- ton from fear as he mentally measured the distance to the fence from where he stood and wondered if he could jump the enclosure in five minutes and sprint down the street to safety should her father make anv hostile moves. By the next morning everyone received the in- formation by invisible telegraphy that EUie ' s home- coming had been as cold as an Eskimo eating an ice cream cone in a refrigerator. But she was a block off the old chip and intended to stick to the last like a British bull dog on a piece of fly paper. When she met Gizzard that evening, she looked far from being the spark plug she was re- puted to be. Ah ' s feelin ' like indigo, confided Ellie. Mah fawther disinterested me; ah ' m almost homeless now. What say? I ain ' t got no capital ' cept mah looks — but then, Danny, I ain ' t so bankrupt, is I? Gawsh, cain ' t yo see enthus ' asm on my war town map? U-huh! Yo does appear kinda enthus ' astic, but Ah ain ' t so suah ev-thing ' s gwine to be all right. S ' pose I make it all right? Huh! V o couldn ' t. Meanin ' which, perzac ' ly? Yo millionaire idea is all air. Little old Noo ' awk for this gal ' less some hero does a rescue. Yore lookin ' at him. Come how? I ' m he. Washington was astounded at the cataract of laughter that greeted his ear drums at this juncture. He disliked the proposition of proving his state- ment to his doubting lady love, because it meant work. About the only way he could find to shine was to become a bootblack. His friend didn ' t know that he was courting death when he innocently nudged Danny and said Some chicken! His face came in contact with an enraged black avalanche which sent him sprawling jnto the gutter, dazedly wondering why all the sta rs in the universe had chosen to fall on him. Wha fo yo disconvenience dat gen ' men, Danny? Ellie questioned when his wrath had abated long enough to enable him to think. Page 23 s E.ERBER. Nemmin ' why. He stahted somethin ' he didn ' t finish, said Danny with utter truthfulness and with a peek at the future. I sho ain ' t no evil tiding ' s gal. Yo never gave that gen ' men a chance. No, ain ' t yo? He disregarded the last re- mark as insignificant. In fack, onless yo proves yo good ' tentions, I will — and she made a gesture in air that he knew meant his abrupt finish unless he strengthened her wavering affections. Purloining chickens was his only art. With a portion of his savings withdrawn from the bank, he bought a ranch on the outskirts of town, considerably out so to speak. A week he passed at a mysterious work. People complained of the losses they were suffering. As Ellie ' s heart attack decreased, his grew more violent with determination. Although his inky fea- tures seemed as composed as the river Styx, he felt like a shrinking violet in her presence. Don ' t reckon yo is cravin ' to inspec ' mah ranch today, Ellie? he said pleadingly. She had intended to snub him when she saw that he was going to speak to her, but at his words she looked interested. Yo learnt me a lesson, Danny. I mean to be yore best frien ' from herever after. Meanin ' what? I ' ll go! As they sped along in a hired machine, Danny glibly lied that his car awaited repairs at the garage, but Ellie seemed to be contented as she snuggled down beside him. The ' came to a stop at a sleepy little farmhouse which bore no sign of activity ex- cept that of the greatest variety of chickens in as- sorted shades. Ellie could not conceal her surprise. Wheah ' s the population? What yo mean? Hired help. Oh they. Picnicin ' . I alius lets them picnic on Sundays, prevaricated Danny without realizing that it was only Saturday. Gizzard was in a state of mental agony. He lacked the courage to tell the old, old lie and Ellie gave him no opportunity to do so, for she insisted upon leaving immediately for home. People were astonished to find that all of their fowls had returned to their nest apparently cleansed of the affliction of wanderlust. Into Danny ' s appreciative ear Ellie bewailed the fact that she had no funds. Why, cream puff, sho I can help yo. Didn ' t yo knowah I sold mah fahm las ' -week? Oh, I ' ll be so ' bliged if yo will. Such usual words were disappointing, but he reached into the recesses of his pocket and pain- fully extracted a roll of bills which he had wrapped around a handkerchief to increase the size of the roll. The slip that cost him his pocketbook was, How much yo want, Ellie? Five hun ' ded dollahs is what I rightly need. Yo reckon yo could ' ford it ontil I gets back mah posi- tion ? He sighed to himself. He had been saving his six hundred dollars for a rainy day, and this cloud- burst was more than he could comprehend. I he next day Ellie was accompanied to the sta- tion by a bouquet of American Beauty roses and by Washington, still fervid. A wisp of lavender hand- kerchief fluttered a moment to the disillusioned Danny standing on the platform. The puff-puff of the train as it started on its long journey to New ork ca used a lump of self-pity to rise in the throat of the dusky Romeo. He pulled out his wallet. It contained what was left of his savings. One hundred dollars was just enough to pay the bet. Of the two aches, Danny didn ' t know which hurt the most; his broken heart or his broken pocketbook. I ' age 24 EjERSER PORTRAIT OF A DREAM George Pohl I. Herr Americaner, I laugh at you. Yesterday I watched you wander through these galleries, your graven face fraught with eager interest, today — the same. This Diana is a beautiful canvas, and I do not wonder at your enthusiasm of the pettiness of life but of more interest to me is not the Diana you see before you, but that it is painted in the curious plane, the same li id, impressionistic tone as the portrait. Will you read me the monogram in the lower corner? As you see my hunched back ridi- cules the desire. The Portrait, sir, the portrait of whom? Of myself, or as the artist names it, Destiny. Sureh ' you knezv the picture. ( I am a fool and blind, not merely a twisted cripple!) But surely you know the black precipices of Destiny, veined with this grey of Diana, monstrous, and sinister, with pinnacled peaks flung recklessly against a sullen sky. The rocks are weighted with the burden of utter hope- lessness; here they have slumped to an indistinguish- able mass of stolid dejection. The blackness of Hell lays his smug hand about while his sister, still blacker white, melts behind his shielding cloak. Tremulous with dizziness the cliffs sway slowly upward, in- accessible to dim sight and terrible in their portend. Gaunt, obscure shadows crawl from ledges; creep from caverns, and go slinking to the void below. A slender summit thrusts out its crow-like head, and clinging to its beak is a whiteness, a foreign speck ; infinitesimal, yet awfully apparent in its unreality. It is horrible! The rocks are strangely still, they smother my thought-outcry. I cannot hold. My fingers bleed on the glazed rocks, and the clotted blood baffles their gnawing hold. I feel the blood trickle down my arm and form a tin - pool in the hollow of my chest, shuddering with the rise of breath. I must fall ! I looked below, an immensity, an eternity hungered for me. A sob of hope forever lost flows down my throat, and chokes me, and blinded by the switch of heavy air I fall — down, and down, and down into the ghastly nothingness — I died. II. ' ou find me incoiierent ? Undoubtedly I abuse your intelligence and credulit - but first you should know, sir, that as a child I was a weakling, victim to a malignant disease, and e tremel - reticent in nature. Stumbling through youth with these hand- icaps, it is not to be wondered that I soon acquired a taste for the morbid, and eccentric in literature, in life ; to console me in my contempt for the man in life mob. This per erted leaning had grown like a fungus on my mind, craving the distorted — and with a fierce indulging laugh, I drank deeply. Sometimes at night I awoke with some repulsixx dream or fancy my confused brain had pitifully evolved from the maze of lives I had lived in the printed word. I watched the dusk deepen with dread, vet awaited it with a ; ' ort of rampant pleasure, knowing well its inevitable horror but enchanted by that horror as one secretly loves best the things that cause him pain and misery. I lived a dissolute dream. I de- spised my own existence and that of the scurrying and aimless rats that forever wore the streets. It is a lie that ' outh loves life! Then one day I came here. I saw Destiny. I saw the portrait of one of my most stubborn dreams painted on the canvas, as I had lived it. It caused my mind to reel, to sicken, to drop down, and down, until the winch-like strain drew me into a faint, but it was a conscious faint. I watched the portrait of my dream. It fascinated me; it repelled me; it embittered fe. It kindled within me a fire; an un- reasoning desire for its possession. I saved my paltry marks and grew into man- hood. My father had died — in debt. I would tell myself, Today, I shall eat only once, and so hasten the day. One night I awoke with a deathly start, feeling a presentiment that the portrait was gone. Perhaps it was stolen ; perhaps someone had pur- chased it. I threw my cloak about me and limped hurriedly to the great museum. All was still and silent as though to torture me with mock serenity. Great woven bars guarded the entrance, but per- haps 1 could creep through? The two stiffened guards threw me into the bare streets. I pleaded Page 25 UE.IXSSUI my dream, and wept for anger at their immobility. I cursed their black souls, and swore to avenge the wrong they did me. For twenty-three years I lived thus. I lacked one hundred marks. I gloated in the knowledge of Destiny at my finger-ends, and borrowed the gold from a dealer in usury lest someone cheat me of my supreme goal as I thrust out my hand to receive it. The director laughed at me when I demanded the portrait. He laughed at me, — my shoes were worn. Trembling with passion I thrust the money in his hands and gave him a wrinkled letter ( reply to an inquiry I had addressed seventeen years before to the trustees of the institution — whether the canvas was for sale and the price?) He smiled now, at the money for which I had bled twenty-three years, but he sold Destiny to me. Nursing the tears of eagerness I ran to my sorry rooms in the West Quarter and wept, unconfined. The portrait was mine, mine! It was the happiest moment of my life. The grey of Diana was lovely, alluring, fascinating; the blended colors were in- describably beautiful ! I could feel the numbing influence of the colors creep upon my consciousness, binding slowly and carefully my senses in a mesh of tangled twines — and infuriating me! Destiny laughed at me and called me fool. Were I — I to yield myself to this bit of rag and smirch of color? Were I to permit this profanity of reason to persuade me, and to beat me into insensibility? It taunts me with hypocrisy! I seized the portrait and hurled it into the open fire and heaped a pyre of raw wood about it vhile I shook with vicious rage and spattered the oil about the grate. The fire leaped up in straining anxiety with the fire within me as I crouched in the blue glare and watched my dream shrivel into the nothingness from which it sprang. To a Dead Sparrow Siegfried Rosen How small you lie upon the sidewalk there, I ' ll make you a place with my slight bare hands ' ou, with your sudden bankrupt wealth of song. Under this cherry tree; While your fellows fling their trifle lyrics through And its life shall take you to foreign lands the air ; But you shall not be cold nor lonely long. Come, come; I ' ll build you a nest, Deep in the sweet warm earth ; And you shall lie on your broken breast, And pause till your other birth. As the seasons come and flee. And you shall sing. And you shall sing Brave lyrics from your pretty mouth. When sparrows make the April meadows ring With songs they purchased in the South. To One Lost Carlotta Mitchell I wonder if forever I must dream Of valleys where the blue smoke idly drifts; Must all my dreams be mingled with a theme Of mountain — kisses, splendid fleeting gifts? And must each flower nod and point the way, That I shall follow in my tired quest; Must I in dreams relive the sun-fill ed day She left that quiet valley of the west? O, city windows with flowers on the sill, I know she comes at morn to one of you. O, tell me do her brown eyes ever fill. As she looks westward when the sky is blue? Page 26 ULVtSSER. BEAUTY AND YTUAEB {Editor ' s Note — . s the ii-ord ugliness is unpleas- Madam Cerise, the famous French exponent of facial ant, lue have taken beauty and its reverse as the title emhellisliments.) for this article, the first of a series to he ivritten hy Mts belles amies, it makes me so happy to think that at last I can reveal to you the secrets of my beauty preparations, which can be found in every drug store and on every dressing table of your so- wonderful America. Before beginning, let me make sure that you understand the derivation of the word cosmetics, one of the most frequently used terms in the expla- nations of my marvelous (Editor ' s Note: and lucrative) methods of rejuvenation. The singular of the word cosmetics is cosmos . After many years of exhausting research, I was finally able to discover that Cosmos was a Greek word, which by those oral changes which are so frequent, was distorted from its original form cause . That is why, when a woman is asked the reason for her use of these complexion aids, she answers cause . Truly, the use of cosmetics is the cause of many things. One of the basic rules of beauty is that its seekers should always carry my rose-petal powder, creamy scarlet rouge, etc., with her, so that the moment she finds that the freshness of her appearance is vanish- ing, she may apply them. This is often a tres bon ex- cuse for not listening to the long but simple annals of a boor (I am not very well acquainted with your English poets, but I do know some of the best selec- tions) for you can appear preoccupied with even spreading of voire poudre. When going down Main Street and finding it necessary to pluck two hairs from your left eyebrow, and then re-blacken it, be sure to say I use Madam Cerise ' s toilet prepara- tions in a pleasantly conversational tone at the con- clusion of your operations. Often men object to the use of cosmetics. This, mes belles femmes, is all bluster, or as you Americans say with evident reference to the color which the man turns when called (another quaint bit of phraseology, which, I believe, originated at the tea table), all buff. It ' our lovable Lovelace expresses this false masculine viewpoint in these lovely lines I could love thee, dear, so much, if thou loved lipstick less. As for the question of superfluous avoirdupois that is the bane of many womens ' lives. There ' s no question about your President Coolidge ' s belief in his words Yon Cassius has a lean and hungry look. He thinks too much. Such men are dangerous. Let me have men about me that are fat, for he immedi- ately appointed a Cabinet composed largely of stout men. There is a moral hidden deep in this incid- ent, mes belles filles. It is: don ' t think too much. As your clear-visioned president has said, it is dangerous. I am not allowed to print the names of toilet preparations in this column, but I believe that I can, without breaking a plank in the editorial policy, recommend a very reputable line to you. It is manufactured by a famous French beauty specialist, and goes under the name of Madam ' s Beauty Aids. I shall permit you to fill in the blank as you wish, for as the Irishman said, You know me name, Al. In closing this, the first of my messages to the American public, I would say that Mark Antony hated Cleopatra because she did not use enough of my lip-rouge; Henry VIII had Anne decapitated because she did not put my perfume behind her ears; Queen Elizabeth ordered Mary Stuart executed be- cause she stole some of the royal cold cream which carried my label, and you — may profit by their ex- amples.

Page S2 inxE si Experiences as a Dean ' ' I certainly have had many funny things happen since I ' ve been dean, says Mrs. Wade, dean of the High School of Commerce. Here is just one of the funny little instances that scatter themselves through her busy hours : One day a peculiar incident occurred. Freida came into my office crying as though her heart would break. ' Why, Freida, ' I said, ' what is the matter? ' ' Oh-h-h-h! Mrs. Wade, Oh-h-h! ' sobbed Freida. I tried to get her to tell me what was wrong, but Gronquist I could get nothing but sobs from her. I took her to a cot and told her to lie there for a while. Later, when I returned she was crying harder than ever. ' What on earth is the matter? ' I asked. After a few more sobs she exclaimed in a shrill voice, ' My puppy died! ' I wanted to laugh so badly, but I bit my lip to keep from doing so. When I had control of myself I said, Tm so sorry, Frieda. When did it happen, dear? ' ' A week ago, ' said Frieda, still crying. Dedicated to all Boys Alice Ramsey It was only yesterday that I paddled him because It was only yesterday I asked him why the terrible of his dirty neck and ears; And for thinking that cleanliness meant a job. It was only yesterday that I licked to repenting tears. When I found, in his trousers, a pipe, a corn cob. But today I need two pairs of glasses when I gaze upon his hair ; grouch at soap, Why the passionate reverence for dirt. It was only yesterday that I asked him where he got the dope That twice a month was time to don a clean shirt. But now, six times a week is nothing to my darling dove, And the cresses in his pants— they are such a care. Yes, today— can ' t you guess?— why, he ' s in love. Page 33 TERSER C ■A- ■■i W HASKBALI.

Every minute — every hour — every day — we are thankful for many things but, alike, we are all thankful to have with us Miss Phyllis Muirden, our art instructor. It is with patient earnestness that she has worked with us and for us in teaching us the appreciation of art. B - so doing, she has stimulated our appre- ciation for a subject that will not be forgotten by the closing of a book or the ringing of a bell. Each term the students eagerly await the coming of their semi-annual magazine, the Ledger. ' The seniors are proud to take it with them as they step from the door of Commerce into the street of life. Then in years to come, glancing through its well-worn pages, they will find before them, greater than could be embodied in words, the expression of an enthusiastic interest expressed in the sketches of skiUfulh ' guided pens. Paffr j5 tERSER. Page 36 LEREER FRESHMEN FROLICKINGS WHY? Harrikt Burns It was a beautiful, richly furnished room. A li el ' little canary sang gaily as it hopped about in its gilded cage. A white angora kitten purred con- tentedly as it dozed in front of the fireplace. The whole room spoke of luxury. One knew that the owner ' s every whim ' as granted. ou would na- turally think that the occupant of such a room would be as happy a.; a king. Yes, you would naturally think so, but if you were to look in the center of the lace-trimmed bed you would have seen a fair- haired little girl crying as hard as she could. Did you ask what it was all about? No, the child was not ill, neither were her parents. Wh ' , then, you ask again, was she crying? Merely because the twenty dollar doll that had been gi -en to her that morning was dressed in pink instead of blue, as she had wanted. She cried. It was a dark, evil-smelling room. At the win- dow one lonely, red geranium lifted its head toward the sky, as though in a wan endeavor to leave this drab world of ours and fly away to a happier home. A lean, hungry-looking cat walked restlessly back and forth in front of a greasy black stove. In one corner a dirty, ragged little girl w-as talking to an old rag doll. Don ' t cry, Emma Jean, we ' ll find something to eat pretty soon, and then we ' ll go dou-n to the square and watch the carriages go by. Oh, what fun we ' ll have! She laughed. I wonder why ? THAT APPLE STEALING DEED Esther Zusman We wandered toward the farmyard. Toward that juicy apple tree. We were off to pick some apples. There were Ned and Ted and me. And so we climbed the apple tree And stuffed our pockets full. When suddenly Ned shouted out, Oh, boys, here com.es the bull ! I bet that I would get the most. Said Ned, I bet I do. Said Ted, Now stop the quarreling, boys, Whv, I ' ll beat both of you. Now we had bright red sweaters on. And Ned a crimson tie. Says I, This is an awful place For Ned and ou and 1. We dashed down through the farmyard. Outwitting this dashing steed; We were sorry we had ever done This Apple Stealing deed. Ptigc h THE LAST GUM DROP Evelyn V. Mowlds It was the last gum drop, the last of the five cents ' worth Johnny had bought that day. It was one of those two-for-a-penny, licorice - flavored, sugar-coated gum drops. The others had paved the way for it. Johnny little mouth. He had taken it out of his mouth every little vhile in order to make the flavor last longer. At last it was gone. Gone, but not forgotten. He licked his lips. Then glancing down he espied his fingers and decided to lick them too. He gave one ast parting remark as to how he could die eatin ' ' em, had turned it lovingly over and over in his dirty, then vanished around a nearby corner, with the last sticky fingers before at last putting it into his dirty gum drop all gone. A MUSICAL NEIGHBORHOOD Marion Wells I live in a musical neighborhood In a flat of stories five — From above, below and all around Come such wails of doleful sound ' Tis a marvel I still survive! Below, Miss Smith the piano plays, And sounds of torture come, When joining in the merry din Her father plays the violin, And two boys bang the drum. Above me lives a bachelor Who plays upon the flute, And for hours two at night and morn From above me comes those notes forlorn, That mournful toot-ti-toot ! ' ou ask me why I stay? I ' ll tell Why I am loath to go — I fear that elsewhere ' tis my fate That me they would not tolerate. For I play the banjo! LULLABY Annie Pickard A voice drifts through the purple night When the twinkling stars are bright, Just a sing-song drowsy tune Like the hum of bees in June. Rock-a-b e, oh, lullaby. Silver moon is in the sky, Go to sleep, for shadows creep Through the forest cool and deep. FRESHMEN Flora Pinardi You may think that we are babies, And that our ways are odd.

He repeated our motto, We always play fair. He told us of ictories. Of deeds of the past. He spoke of the honor Of our school and our class. Here was no laughter. No smile, and no grin.

Atta boy, Benny! Not so rough there, Rowdy. Boy — hooray Commerce wins ! And who said basketball was a girl ' s game? The Big Green finished one of the most thrill- ing and hectic of all seasons. Beginning in late November and finishing in the middle of March, the Lemon and Green warriors battled through one of the longest, toughest seasons that has ever been known at Commerce. It is true, the boys did not win the championship, but we, all Commer- conians, are proud of the showing our rugged, hard-fighting, never-say-die basketball team made. They won from the strongest teams in the Portland High School league. Twice they upset the dope in the league standing, first by defeating Franklin, and second, by trouncing Washington in a close, hard-fought game. It took three minutes of over- time to settle this dispute. Hats were smashed and smelling salts were needed ! Commerce won 1 It was the greatest fight of the year. Manager Rogoway had more work to do and did it as well as any manager Commerce has ever J i ftad. He received special recognition for his work. ' X , J ' Coach Carpenter used foresight in building for ' J f next vear. Ayres, Dobson, Isenstein, Brown and Hunsacker, second string men, each got into at least two league games. Graduation will take only two lettermen, Benny Lee and Norman Fones. So with Levoff, Nagel, Kerr, R. Fones, Friedman, and Oppie, all lettermen, back, Commerce should finish at the top. ANOTHER FAIRY STORY Now can an ' one tell me what a myth is? asked the teacher in Engl ish 11. A solitary hand raised, and a voice exclaimed: It ' s a female moth. Page 41 MXXSUIM Echoes From Our Athletes What are you going to do this summer? Our esteemed athletes answer: Truck Althouse: My father says I must do manual labor to keep in condition; so I suppose I must peddle my bicycle and weinies. Freddy ] Ieyers (no relation to the millionaire) : I have a most important position coming up in the woods, for I will have control of all the men in camp. I will have control of them, because when I blow the whistle they will start or stop work. Tiny Harrison: Like ' Red ' Grange I expect to become a famous football player, but I am going to train by throwing ice cream kegs around instead of ice. Rowdy Kerr: I don ' t know what I ' m going to do yet, but I think I ' ll be kept busy dodging a job that Dad has lined up for me. Joe Blair: Now that I have the necessary equip- ment, I think I shall spend the summer in California playing in competition with that famous golfer, ' Bobby ' Jones. Morris Levoff (the Walter Johnson of the high school league) : I think I shall indulge deeply in the national pastime as I did last year. Bubs Dielschneider: I think I shall work in the woods as I did last summer, but I hope I do not spend the last two weeks of this coming vaca- tion as I did the last two of my other vacation. Gyp Cheney: If the prospects I have now are as I hope they will be I may have a chance to dance for mone instead of applause. Thus chorus the huskies who represent Com- merce High on the athletic field. LITTLE GEORGE CAN ' T TELL A LIE George Goss : When I was through the Cas- cades recently, I came to an unsurmountable cliff eight hundred feet high and found no way to go around it. Merton Boon: What did ' ou do? George Goss: Rolled up in my blankets. wHI nf ■l v 1 H E. llj IPPP -: - EO. LA Sl ' KONCK Our Janitor A better fellow than our janitor could not be found. He is always cheerful and willing to help and console others with advice. His disposition is the greatest asset of all. Ed has said that he sent three children through Normal, and two through high school into a busi- ness college. Ed ha s had enough education to ap- preciate now, more than ever, its great need. He realizes education is necessary to everybody who wants to make a good living in this world. He even made one of his boys go back to school when he threatened to quit, and that boy patted Ed on the back when he finished school. That boy said it was the best thing ever done for him. Ed La Spronse is an ideal janitor in every respect; the kind that makes the boys appreciate him more than they would a grouchy janitor. Ed may look a little gruff at times, but his twinkling eyes belie the fact. Paffe 42 tERGER g __ LEDGER STAFF First Row : Eleanor Marsten, Axel Pearson, Norman Fones, Jane Reeves.

Page 43 LERSER LIBRARY ' Nessay and ' Ninterview a la Mode LliTA I walked past the library and saw Miss Hazel- tine surrounded by students. Yes, she was busy too, but I said I would get an interview or die in the attempt. I went up to her — no, not exactly up to her, but as far as I could get, behind the be ' y of boys and girls. It seemed hours before the crowd cleared away, and I heard my voice say, Inhere seems to be an equal amount of students at both the poetry and fiction book shelves. Yes, poetry seems as popular as fiction. Com- merce students read it not only as an English re- quirement, but fur their own pleasure as well, she replied. The Silver Pencil and the Junior Silver Pen- cil clubs have stimulated zeal for poetry. Next to poetry and fiction, the students like biographies and books on office training. Have you ' Freckles, ' Miss Hazeltine? a boy Carte rushed up to the desk and asked. We both laughed. That reminds me of one little freshman boy, who came to the library not long ago, she said. He did not seem to know where the various books were kept, so I asked him, ' What book are you looking for? ' I was looking for ' The Three Musketeers, ' but I just saw a fella take ' em out. One day I saw a girl standing by the book shelf who seemed at loss to find what she wanted. ' Can I help you find a book? ' I asked. ' ' V es, I am looking for ' The Crooked Stick, ' but I can ' t find it here. ' Because I am used to hearing books so often mis-named, I knew the book to which she was referring was ' The Bent Twig. ' Another girl who was evidently acquainted with the use of ' Crisco ' in her baking, asked for ' The Count of Monte Crisco.

Second Row : Mary Henderson, The Terrible Tragedy of the Trial Balance Vernona It was a drowsy afternoon in spring; the quiet of the school was undisturbed except for the distant clatter of typewriters. Life moved along sluggish- ly at the High School of Commerce. Suddenly it was called to life by the clang, clang, clang of the handbell and the continuous ring of the gong. Ilie fire drill was in full session. This was not an imitation fire as all the others had been. It was real, only too real. Girls screamed, and a few of the fainter hearted ones swooned away. The smoke rolled and billowed, and the ugly red flames leaped hungrily toward the ceiling. The wild, weird wail of the fire siren joined in with the rest of the noise. Everyone was safely out, and it was thought that some of the equipment might be saved. But stay; after all there was one person still in the building: a girl. A brave fireman dashed into Holland the clouds of smoke and was soon back. She won ' t come out, was his report, and she fought like a wild-cat when I tried to bring her out. She must be crazy. Another brave man disappeared to try his luck. The building was doomed. It almost swayed in the strong wind. The second man finally staggered out — alone. He was gasping for breath, and he was almost blinded with smoke. She says, he managed to say between his labored gasps for breath, that she . . . won ' t come out . . . , that she won ' t . . . stir till her . . . trial balance balances. Crash ! The roof fell in, and the determined young lady was buried under a ton of burning tim- bers — a martyr to a trial balance. Piuje - S - SiE E ER6ER. a.
