I E+ FX Instead of swapping their usual yarns, they were discussing the heat- ed remarks of a young fellow in a gold-braided yachting uniform who was fussing around with an outboard motor boat on the beach. Them new-fangled contraptions is always a-gettin' out o' order, re- marked an old salt, spitting a wad of plug at a floating bottle, with the practice of years showing in his accuracy. Ef'n he war wise, he'd throw the danged thing away an' get a sloop. No noise, fuss, er smelly engines. Them rich fellers ain't no sailors, that's why, said another gray-beard. Chicken-livered. Put in at the Hrst sign of a blow. I At the stranger's approach, however, they became silent, and watched cyn- ically as he heated the air with some remarks he never had learned from his mother. What's the matter, son? Havin' a little trouble? A little trouble! Say, are you trying to get wise? I'n1 having a lot Ol trouble. Wait 'till I get the fellow who sold me that heap of junk. Why, I wouldn't use it for ballast! If he thinks he can get away with-- Calm down, young feller. Yer jumpin' ter conclusions, en' that's bad. Feller darn near killed 'is shipmate that-a-way once. Fact! It was down olf-- Say, now I suppose I'll have to listen to some old woman's tale that'll take all afternoon. Can't you see I'm busy? But after a pause he took a seat and queried, WellP is I war sayin', before I war so rudely interrupted by a young skate what ain't no sailor, it war down off the west coast of Florida in Tampa Bay. Brownie Jacobs allus went thar winters in his pinky. Yer know what a pinky is, don't yer? Well, it's a craft what ain't a sloop an' it ain't a catboat, an' it don't look more like one than t' other. A very clear and accurate description, murmured the young man, but never mind, go on. Wall, Brownies mate, Ole Swenson, bein' a sort of mechanic as well as a ship-builder, sail maker, Seaman, Hsherman, and carpenter, had rigged up a engine. New-fangled idees they war then, too. 'Twas only useful in calm water and when, on the way south to Tampa, the early November squalls bit the coast, that old engine just shook herself clear out o' her moorings and raised 2. terrible rumpus in the hold. Brownie and Ole had an awful time. The I0 THE REFLEC TOR sails, double-reefed, mind ye, were tearin' away, so they stripped 'er down to the bare poles. Even so they made twelve knots. The Maine, thet bein' the pinky's name, war a stout ship, though. New England oak, and not a nail in 'er. Wood pegs. Fact! So she weathered the blow an' Brownie and Ole put into Tampa Bay without so much as her main-truck split. The engine war a wreck, though, an' when they tied up at Bert's wharf the bilge war leakin' fast. They put 'er in drydock, where she sorta sighed and collapsed. Bert war an old friend 0' Brownie's what was druv south 'cause 0' the the competition of steam trawlers. Him bein' a doryman for a cod schooner he natch'r'ly wouldn't have anythin' to do with steam ships. Him bein' a old friend, he natch'r'ly didn't want ter take money fer his work. He took a percent'ge of the catch, though, 'cause Brownie and Ole insisted. All that day Bert and his carpenters worked on the hull. Ole helped a mite, too, and by the time evenin' come along she war as tight as a drum. Both boys slept on the boat, neither one nor t' other havin' much cash. Next day dawned bright an' clear with a fresh southeast breeze a' blowin' out inter the Gulf. Thet bay war swarmin' with sharks, an' they was all signs of good fishin'. Sharks, yer know, is sold by ship-load to the big canneries 'long the coast. They can thet shark meat in sauces and disguise it all up like mack'rel. Nice, tender, juicy meat, shark. Fact! Th' skins are tanned an' sold too. They fetch a mighty fair price in season. Wall, seein' the breeze an sharks, an' considerin' thet the bilge war tight, Ole persuaded Brownie to sail without the engine. On the way out they brought out the shark tackle. Yer have ter have special shaped hooks fer sharks, with a iron shank near half's big as my arm. A shark's mouth takes up half his head and is where his belly ought ter be, only it ain't. His teeth slant innards, an' when he's got hold o' su'thin', there's no lettin' go. On the way out, they wiped the mildew off'n the lines and scraped the rust off the iron with pumice. The job was done when they reached the middle 0' the bay, an' all they had to do was slap a half a' pound o' salt pork on the hooks and let go. The sharks wuz hungry, an' as soon as the hooks hit the water they got strikes. lVall, 'bout noon they wuz pullin' in fish so fast they didn't notice the sails go slack. Thet fresh breeze had sorta petered out, and the pinky was calmed. VVhen they had the boat filled ter the waists, an' yer know it takes a lot 0' sharks to fill a pinky, Brownie lets Ollt a yip an' hollers, 'I told ya sol' 'You bane tall me wha'?' Ole yells back. Yer know them Swede fellers has a funny dialek. An' so they jawed back an' forth while the sun beat down, an' it com- menced gettin' so hot yer could cut the air with a knife. When it got too hot ter jaw, they flopped down in th' bows. Arter awhile Ole sings out, 'Oi bane roast like chicken here', an' he got up an' sat down on a pile o' dead sharks under the awning they had rigged over the deck so the Fish wouldn't get ripe afore their time. Awful strong stummiks them Swedes got. Brownie jes' ll THE REFLEC TOR grunted an' rolled over on his stummik. Arter a while Ole found a newspaper wrapped around the salt pork bait and commenced readin' 'loud. It seems thet people had been a' goin' crazy with histeriks around thet part o' Florida from stayin' out in the hot sun too long. Ole found a piece in the paper thet told all about it and read it through to Brownie. When he was finished, he told Brownie, 'Yo' better not lay in thet sun. Yo' go crazy like them peepulf Twarn't no use, though. Brownie jus' grunted an' shifted his back square inter the blazin' sun. From then on Ole read his paper to himself. On an' on he read, an' the sun got hotter an' hotter. just as Ole was dozin' off, Brownie gave a yell and started jumpin' up an' down around the deck. Ole war pretty near scared out o' his pants. 'Yo' see,' he says, 'now wha' I tell yoP' But Brownie's only answer wuz another screech what wuz turrible to hear, an' with the bay teemin' with sharks, he dived overboard and disappeared. Ole ran to the rail, but 'e could see nuther hide nor hair o' him. Arter a while, Brownie came ter the top an' struck out fer the boat. Ole grabbed a boat- hook and was goin' ter pull him in, but when Brownie busted out lallin' like he war a' goin' ter bust, Ole changed his mind an' held him off with it. Brownie took one look at them big fins circlin' closer an' let out another yell what shook the timbers an' nigh scared the sharks. Ole ducked 'im with the boat-hook to cool 'im off. 'Twaren't no use, though. Fin'ly Brownie got .x enough wind ter holler at Ole, 'Lemme aboard ye ---- fool. Are ye crazyP' 'Naw, oi no bane crazy,' he jaws back. 'Yo bane crazy, but I no got scared.' No, Ole war'n't scared all right. 5 X Him with a oak deck unner 'is feet an' J? K' a six foot by two pole in 'is hands. fi gi ,fisw , 's-- Naw, he war'n't scared.

'Never mind thet,' Brownie hollered at him, all excited-like. 'Get that shark.' Ole looked at him like he war really crazy. 'Wa' fo' yo' want thet sharkP' he says. 'Yo' got whole boat shark'. But Brownie only gets more excited-like and says, 'Yeh, but thet's the only shark in the seven seas what is got my toe in 'is jawrsl' Wall, they got the shark aboard. Brownie's foot war bleedin' turrible, so Ole goes down the forehatch and gets a handful of cobwebs an' sticks them on whar the toe uster was, only ain't. He bandaged it up slick's a whistle, and they waited for a breeze. Ef'n Ole hadn't jumped ter conclusions like he thought Brownie war crazy, maybe he'd be havin' 'is toe today. After the old fisherman had finished his tale, he sat silently as if reminis- cing. The young man looked at him scornfully. Do you expect me to believe that? he asked. I'm not askin' yer, I'm tellin' yer. l've still got thet shark stuffed with thet toe between his teeth slick's a whistle, and he looked around at the rest of the group. They nodded wisely. U Well, I've got to End a mechanic for that motor, aiiswered the young man, rising from his seat. Probably cost me plenty. Thar ye go, jumpin' ter conclusions again. Ef'n ye'd put some gasoline inter thet motor instead of stuff from thet kerosene jug I seen ye fussin' with, maybe it'd go.

I have seen 1nany who look like little cherubim, but who are, in reality, little demons. For instance, there was Freddie. Freddie lived with his mother and father in a small, quiet New England town. Now Freddie's mother had a habit of sending little Freddie down to the corner store for various supplies, for these, she invariably ran a charge account. Freddie, who had his share of intelligence, soon recognised the simplicity of going into the store and getting what was needed by asking for a slip , One day little Freddie, with several of his allies, decided to make pies and cakes. They started out, innocently enough, by diluting some brown earth with water until a proper degree of adhesiveness had been reached. After a time they became tired of such unconvincing results. Their cakes did not even slightly resemble anything that they had seen at home, furthermore, the results looked anything but palatable. This situation was thoughtfully remedied by Freddie. He had seen his mother use eggs in her cakes. Xvith wicked cleverness, Freddie remembered the corner store. Into the store he went, first admonishing his companions to wait outside or Mr. Clark might think something amiss. ln as short a time as it takes to tell about it, Freddie was out again with two dozen of Mr. Clark's best strictly fresh eggs and a slip . Back to the scene of the first experiments they trooped. After fifteen minutes or so of more advanced research with the soil and water mixture, but with the added ingredient of nine eggs, a very sticky, yellowish-brown batter ensued. They even went as far as to heat the mixture on an old sheet of metal until dryg still, none of them wished to take advantage of the calories and vitamins in the concoction. In that respect, Mr. Clark's eggs were dissipated. However, it was great sport to make things with real eggs, which Freddie generously supplied. As children will, after indulging several times they wearied of the diversion, but this fact did not prevent them from finding new and bet- ter advantages in the use of eggs. Freddie proved himself to be an inventive genius on the subject by revealing to his compatriots that they make very satisfactory projectiles to be employed against the other progeny in the neigh- borhood. This discovery was enthusiastically received by Freddie's friends, and it was through this enthusiasm that Freddie's down-fall occurred and the source of the eggs was cut off. Barbara-jane, one of the little girls in the vicinity, was out for a walk with her doll carriage. She strolled blissfully along, completely unaware of the foul plot Freddie was conceiving. vVithout warning, a barrage of the fragile missiles burst on and about the young lady's person, with disastrous effects to both young lady and perambu- lator. The sequel to the bombardment of tl1e young Miss took place early in the 14 THE REFLEC TOR - , afternoon. A telephone call shattered the peace and calm of Freddie's home, and his mother regretfully pllt aside her sewing. There followed numerous ejaculations of dismay and distracted apologies. Barbara-Jane's mother was extremely vituperative about Freddie's activities, and expressed her emotion in rapid, angry, and lengthy sputtering. Needless to say, Freddie's dietetical inclinations were abruptly terminated, as well as his talent for marksmanship. From the sounds issuing from the house when his father arrived, one could almost believe that Freddie himself had terminated. The origin of the egg supply and the amount and price were all taken into consideration, and I rather think that Freddie slept more com- fortably on his stomach that night. One need not go as far as New England, however, to see young innocence in its full glory. Several days ago, attracted to the window by a great clamor outside, I saw a congregation of children in the street. They had all varieties of vehicles, from bicycles to roller-skates, but only two at the time were in use. As I watched, fascinated, I discerned two apart from the rest, one Master Drew, and Billy. They were approximately twenty yards apart, in wagons, and facing each other. Someone in the group apparently gave the signal. They made for each other at top speed. CRASH! Billy was thrown out onto the street by the impact: he was not hurt, but was full of righteous indignation-well, at least indignation. He seemed to be trying to communicate to Master Drew that he had violated the regulations of the tournament. Master Drew evidently remained uncomprehensive, because Billy became violent when he received no satisfaction. His right hand landed solidly on Master Drew's visage. In a moment they were clawing, punching, and bawling in outraged fury. Meanwhile, those who had been spectators joined the fracas. The boys as- sisted, mostly verbally, but the weaker sex aided the winner of the tourney by administering resounding kicks on any part of Billy's anatomy that came into view until I ran out and rescued him from enraged juvenile citizenry. Not only are they like the old Romans in their. desire for gladiatorial combats, but the majority seem to aspire to the modern type of piracy com- monly known as racketeering. From the time they get up until they go to bed. they are industriously secreting themselves in bushes, garages, and any other convenient hiding place. They imaginarily shoot each other down just as ruthlessly as the gangsters themselves. My stand on this subject may be biased, because usually our back-yard is used for their hideout, and there are numerous raids on it every Saturday morning. The raids themselves aren't so bad, but coupled with puerile shriek- ing, they entirely disrupt the sleep I'm trying so desperately to make up. Today I was startled into wakefulness by a raucous debate as to whether jimmy was dead or not. After vainly trying to induce them to leave for a yard down the street which has as many admirable qualities as ours, I equally vainly tried to get back to sleep. But it was like trying to recapture an eluded dream. The disgruntlement of this frustrated desire indirectly led me to write this defamatory outburst on the innocence-and gentleness-of children. 15 THE REFLECTOR l g GRO V C? ax X- I It 4 H f - we 'il ' h- Q f, 1 ,W Deshny's Road V X 1' ia 1.12. f xx i By Richard H. Young, june '37 ' K 1 W K T l.f1.vs if l- 'if N I - fi'-lll l fe : The time-worn Four-wheels and T p ' - Goes rolled to a stop in front of the ar g:-D Colinsville General Store-rolled to f 'W T f 'So 7 a stop because that was all it could do. Long ago its brakes had been consumed on the daily trip from Ebenezer Stiles' home to his store, a distance of about a mile. The road running out that way was little used because of its danger spots. Chief among these was the Devils Slide. Leading from town the road at one point made a sharp right turn, dipped down at a terrific angle, and a thousand feet down the hill swerved left around a rock wall. Straight ahead lay the Slide. A thin board fence was the only protection from a perpendicular drop to the rocks below. Thus had the brakes been used up, and lately Stiles had used another road. So much by way of explanation-and back to town. Eb Stiles detached himself from the steering'wheel, climbed down to the dust, and ambled over to his store. . 'Mawnin', drawled a bystander. Eb looked up and beheld the person of Slim Perkins, Eb's oldest friend and best customer. 'Mawnin', returned Eb, as he drew out his jangling keys and opened the store. Bin waitin' here 'bout half hour, said Slim. But I don't mind, so long as it helps you. Thanks, returned Stiles. A friend in need is a friend indeed, he thought. With that, he walked over behind the counter to serve his friend. What'1l it be this mawnin'P he asked. Quart 'uh milk, roll 'uh Hypaper, some apples-and a fryin' pan. Need a new fryin' pan, eh? Well, I've just one left. Dollar and a half. But I'll let you have it for a dollar. Nothing doing! ejaculated the customer. You charge me full price and fergit it. Ed added up the amount, and as he did so, a slight haze came into his eyes. Here, he rel-lected, was one who had stood with him through thick and thin. Long years ago they had had many good times together. Eb had got him- self a wife, but Slim remained unmarried. Then, fifteen years later, when his wife died, Slim had helped Eb in every way that he could. Only Eb's daugh- ter, Sylvia, was left, and Eb devoted all his attentions to her. just now Slim was again lending him the helping hand in supporting Ebenezer's rapidly 16 THE REFLECTOR l , falling business. Since that chain store opened 'cross the way, I've lost a tol'ble lot o' customers, said Eb. Certainly is a shame, Slim observed. I still can't see, though, why you didn't sell out to them, 'stead o' lettin' them take away yore business. Nothin' doin', came back Stiles. If I can't buy and sell as I please, I don't want to do it at all. And then, most likely they'd shift me to some strange town where I'd know nobody or be known-an' I couldn't take part in the community affairs. No, sirree! I stay right here. Here's your groceries, Slim, and your change. Keep it-the change, I mean. 'Twon't do me as much good as 'twill you. The two shuffled over to the door and went out on the porch. Eb sat down on the bench there and pulled out his pipe. Then he produced his tobacco wallet. Um, he mused, peering into it, not much left. Guess I'11 have to get some inside. Well, I'll be toddlin' along now, Eb, said Slim. Be seein' yuh later- at the rest'rant. So long, Slim. Well, Eben got his tobacco. It was the last he had in the store. But Eb figured it was all right, no one would be likely to buy it anyway. Since the new chain place started business across the way, his own business had sagged, even as a clothesline sags with Monday's wash. Its prices were, nat- urally, much lower than his. Now, no one was going to pay a high price for an article when the same thing could be obtained elsewhere for a few cents less. Every penny counted, and so the Streamline Grocery Sales stuck its fangs into Stiles' business. I'm on my last legs, thought the man. Don't know how much longer I can keep on. If that store pulls its prices down any further, I'm lost. Only enough left to keep this place open. Look at all the people over there buyin' the place out. What a break some people get! Nearly all my savin's gone now. He brushed a suspicious drop from his cheek. Thought I'd be able to give Sylvia a good education and a happy life, but I guess that's just another dream gone forever. And thus his thoughts ran on. For nearly an hour and a half he sat there with his pipe, having nothing to do. Once, someone stopped in for a broom and a tin of Epsom Salts. That was all for the morning. At noon he locked up his dingy establishment and walked over to the lunch room. Entering the place he went to the rear, where he found Perkins munching a ham on rye. Hello, greeted Slim. 'Lo, Slim, he returned, but his words were hardly audible. Saay, what's the matter with you, anyhow? came from Slim, after he gulped the last of the sandwich. Would you be very glad if your life savin's was gone, your business 17 THE RFFLECTOR , -. l- ruined, and no prospects for the future? Shore now, don't you worry. You'll come through all right. Won't he, Doc? said Slim, turning his head to the waiter at this last. Why sure, Eben. Everything's going to be just fine, was the reply. Eb was silent, except for ordering his 1neal, which was none too big. Already owe Doc eleven-forty, was Ebenezer's explanation. And next week's rent week. That ole store! And that manager! He fairly sobbed those last words. At that particular point in walked-none other than the new chain store manager. Speak of the Devil, and there he is, commented Slim under his breath. Eb jumped off the stool and started for the door. Slim grabbed him. Hey! You ain't leavin', are yuh? 'Course, 'course, I'm goin'-- Where to? Corsica? sallied Phil, the manager. Lissen here, young feller, none o' your lip. You've made me enough trouble already. With that he hurst out the door and made for his store. All afternoon Eben brooded over his misfortunes, so that when evening came he was glad to put his CLOSED FOR THE NIGHT sign in the win- dow and start for home. 1 II At home Sylvia Stiles was left to herself most of the time. This she did not mind, for she had become used to it during the five years after her mother's death, and, at twenty-three, she was capable of caring for herself. In the morning she did the housework, the afternoon was hers. Recently she had been having a visitor. A man visitor. At first he came only occasionally, but now had grown to be as regular as clockwork. His name was Philip Beeche. His occupation-manager of the Slreamline Groceries Sales in Colinsville. Phil worked on a morning shift, and therefore he con- veniently had his P. M.'s free, too. Sometimes he just came and visited. At other times he took Sylvia for a ride. Of all this her father knew nothing. On this particular afternoon: Honk, honk! O Sylvia! Coming, Phil. A slim Hgure ran from house to car. What'll it be this afternoon? A ride, I think. The door slammed, the motor whined, and a cloud of dust curled as the powerful car moved off and quickly gathered momentum. They talked on that ride. Talked a lot. About the scenery, about people, and in particular about themselves. They talked of love-and even of mar- riage. It was Phil who opened up this topic. Sylvia, YesP Why don't you and I get married? Out of a clear sky, mind you. Wha-wha-why, Phil, you're joking! No, I mean every word I say. I love you and you-- he paused, you do love me, don't you? 18 THE REFLEC7 OR --l- .1 i1 l- Yes, I--I-- Sylvia was flustrated. But think of father. You know he'll never consent. Even if I were to agree to support him as well as you? Even if you did, the answer'd be the same. Well, we don't have to have his consent. Xve can go off, get m-- Phil, stop. Much as I love you, I couldn't think of leaving father like that. And I know he'd never let you support him, even if we did get married. He'd starve first. She would have said more, but her thoughts were interrupted by a peculiar sound. It seemed all around them. At first it was in front, then on one side of the car, then underneath. A peculiar gurgling, followed by a cough or two and a sigh. But it was no human sound. Mvstified as they might be, both agreed on that. It must be the motor, decided Philip. just then the noise stopped. So did the motor. And so did the car. As it rolled to a halt, Phil jumped out and lifted the hood. Very good advice. Whenever anything goes wrong with your car, be sure to lift the hood, and nine times out of ten funless you're the mechanic at the town garagej you'll say, Hanged if I know. YVhich was just the formula Philip Beeche used. Hanged if I know. An almost new car, but right away it has to get temperamental. Sort of like your father, Sylvia. t Phil, I wish you wouldn't say things like that about my father. But, she added, he doesn't like you and neither does the car, so maybe you're right. XN7ell, let's see, the young fellow muttered. Nothing wrong here-humm -seems all right. Yeppy, everything okay here. Gosh darn you. He thumped the car. What's your secret, anyhow? After so saying he started a thorough examination, in which Sylvia tried to help, giving as much aid as a tooth-pick pinch-hitting for a baseball bat. So busily were the two engaged, that they neither saw nor heard an approach- ing car. Not until it was exactly opposite Beeche's machine did either look up. Then, and only then, did Sylvia peer around one corner of the roadster to see who the newcomer was. She would have fallen backwards except for Phil's support, as he had been standing just behind her. At this moment tl1e other car stopped, and Ebenezer Stiles looked up to see what was the matter. Great was his astonishment, then, when he saw his daughter in the arms of this man. Since his wife had died Eb was very jealous of anyone who made any suspicious advances toward his daughter. Up to now he had suspected nothing, however. This sudden revelation of what had been going on behind his back, came as a jolt. But what made it hurt so was the fact that his daughter had chosen the very man who had ruined her father's business-or at least, so he thought. This was too much for him. Something snapped within. Anger and despair fought for control of his face. Anger won. He descended and approached the couple threateningly. 19 THE REFLEC TOR 1 i , So, young man, you're not satisfied with breakin' up my business, now you're stealin' my daughter and breakin' my heart! But, Mr. St-- He got no further. Don't 'Mr. Stiles' me. I've heard enough from you, Sylvia. Get in the car. Up to now Sylvia had quietly looked on. But, father, he loves me, she cried. You don't suppose I'm blind, do you? I-I love him, too! What! Yes, we were talking of getting married, Mr. Stiles, said Phil. Sylvia, get in the carl Did you hear me? She obeyed, climbing in the back. Eben got in and started the car going. Where are we going, father? We're goin' home! There was an ominous look in his eyes, and his jaw was set. For the minute Phil was taken aback at what had just occurred, but not for long. Quickly he locked his car. ' Wherever that girl goes, I go too, he said to himself. No telling what the old man's likely to do now. The rattle of fenders and other loose parts, and the roar of the motor drowned out all sounds of Phil's pursuit on foot. Quickly he caught up with the aged machine, for Stile's car never could go very fast. Then with a leap Phil landed on the spare hung on the rear. He climbed over the back and tumbled on the floor beside the startled Sylvia. Shh, don't let him know I'm here. I'll try to help you out of this mess. The girl was too upset to say anything. just then, anyway. So old Ebenezer drove on, unmindful of his extra passenger. Soon he came to a fork in the road. To the left was the dangerous road leading directly home. Eb approached the fork without slackening speed- what speed there was. He took the left fork. At that time both the girl and Phil were crouching on the floorboards. She was helping him get in a comfortable position where he wouldn't be seen. She did not see which way they had gone. Suddenly the car gave a lurch, which sent Sylvia against the left door, and threw it open. She would have rolled out had not Phil grabbed her. ' That was close! she breathed. Then she got the impression that the vehicle was going downgrade. She sat up and looked out. Nine hundred feet ahead the Devil's Slide was charging directly at. her! Father! Father! she screamed, the brakes, the brakes-put on the br-- She got no farther but sank to the floor. The awful realization dawned upon her that the machine was now a mad runaway, hell-bent for destruction! It gathered speed every fleeting moment. The telephone poles seemed like teeth in a comb. The two in the back bounced around, trying to catch hold of something, but every time something came within reach, the car swerved and knocked them away. 20 THE REFLEC TOR , On Eb's face was a grim smile. On Sylvia's, a look of horror. On Phil's, fear, anger, and surprise played a game of tag. He thought of jumping out with the girl, but that would be fatal, he knew. He tried to get control of the steering wheel, but suddenly they were at the bottom of the incline. The road turned. The car did not. A sickening crash came as the frail fence gave way to the onrushing behemoth which was Ebenezer Stiles' auto. Far out over the cliff it shot. Time stood still, as, for an awful moment, the car seemed to hang there in space. Then, like a plummet, it fell, striking the terrible rocks below witl1 a ghastly explosion. Livid sheets of flame shot out on every side. 'K 'F i 'lf if Next day the sign still stood in the window ofa general store in Colinsville. Closed for the Night. It would be a very long night. The dawn was a good way off. All of which transpired because one young man forgot to check his supply of gasoline. ' Youth, Take Heed! By Dorothy O'C0nner, june, '36 Youth, listen and take heed, We, the aged, have lived, and know. Then the children cry this answer, We need not your help, foolish old ones. Be careful 'ere your Rubicon be crossed too soon, Stay awhile beneath the guardian wing. Ye know not life, its pitfalls cleverly concealed. Yeal advice ye give freely. We will none of it. Wherefore were we born unto this world? To live, to love, to learn. These things ye have already done, And, now that your day is nearly o'er, Ye bid us tarry until it is too late. We would see the glories of the world, Love and be loved. Can'st not understand? We are like unto you, for we are your children. 21 THE REFLECTOR - l - iQ1... - Defense Against Agents By Harold rlliller, june '36 The person who can successfully defend himself against every kind of pedzller or panhandler who comes to his door is truly a genius. There is a surprising number of people who make their living by door-to-door soliciting, as I learned while I was trying to make repairs on our back porch one day last summer. The day was one of the hottest that I have experienced. There was not a cloud or a haze in the skyg everything that grew in the ground was parched to a crisp-seemingly crackling in the very slight breeze. Old Sol was having a Hne time and was operating under full capacity. As I was slowly replacing old rotted boards in the porch, a young man of about my own age entered the yard. At his side was carelessly slung a canvas bag such as is used by the vast hoards of magazine peddlers, of whom this youth-was a member. The first intruder was an easy one to dispose of. One merely had to repeat that old slogan, Sorry, but We have ours delivered by mail. When this excuse had worked like a charm, and the young man had gone, I resumed my repair-work. A few minutes later, when the vegetable-man came, I had to climb the forty wearisome steps to the attic, where mother was doing some dusting. To my infinite disgust I had come all the way from the ground floor in vain-I learned that we needed nothing in the vegetable line that day. Down the stairs I came in a sullen rage and sent this peddler away. Next came the newspaper boy, who was collecting for the week's subscrip- tion. When I reached the attic this time, I was told that I must search for mother's pocketbook, for she had forgotten where she had left it. In fifteen minutes, after an exasperating search, I succeeded in locating the money and paying the paper boy, who immediately left. Once more I picked up the hammer and began laboriously pounding nails into a new board. Soon I noticed that a familiar cat was, as usual, in the garbage can and was quite joyously pushing tin cans onto the ground. Since picking up tin cans is not one of my favorite sports, I easily disposed of him with a well-aimed rock, at the same time satisfying my desire to throw some- thing at somebody. Fifteen minutes later a policeman appeared on the scene. Suddenly I re- membered the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, but I did not know how it could have acted so quickly. How many dogs do you have here, Sonny? asked Mr. Brassbuttons. Wl1y, only one, sir, I replied, a sinking feeling coming to my stomach. I was well relieved that I was apparently not to be punished for the cat epi- sode, yet I could not help but be concerned about my dog, which is one of my closest friends. Now don't try to stall me, said the blue-clad enforcer of the law. The people in this neighborhood have been complaining about a bunch of hounds here for the past week. 22 THE REFLECTOR - l-1 lll1.11-1 But that's impossible, I replied. All the neighbors like our dog. We keep him in at night, and he has never bit-oh, I know whom you're after! There is a place on the next street where they have a few dogs-that's funny, the number of the house is eighty-one, same as ours! Well, I'll go thereg but, boy, if you're stringin' me, you'll pay for it. With the departure of the policeman, I made my decision hereafter to be nice to all cats, no matter what harm they may do. My temperature went down ten points, and I resumed the porch mending. By the speed I was making then, I probably would have finished by suppertimeg but this was not to be, for soon a middle-aged gentleman appeared on the scene. I knew by the way he looked at me that I was in for quite a lecture before he would leave. He started in by trying to sell me seeds for the garden. When I told him that I could not be bothered with raising flowers, he replied that he would sell me some very good tomato plants cheap. Then he began his lecture on how nice it is to have a garden all your own, how good the vegetables taste when they come right off the vinesg and how you would save money as well as have a lot of fun in raising these tomatoes. I was just about to give up and order a few plants to get rid of him, when- How much did you say those plants are? came mother's welcome voice from the attic window. The tomato-peddler then gave her the same convincing lecture he had given me. After I had done my best all day to keep from buying something, my whole day was ruined when mother surrendered to the first attack she met-or had she heard all the others, including the cop, through the attic window? Sailing Up the Solent by Nancy Green, june '36 Breakfast had been taken some hours before, so we were all on deck, ex- cited at the thought of finally reaching our goal-Southampton. The fog which had covered the slightly-rolling sea since dawn suddenly lifted, and we found ourselves in the Solent. As the mist cleared, it seemed as if an enormous emerald rose out of the sea. There it lay-peaceful and undisturbed by the hundreds of curious eyes now trained upon it. You see, this is no ordinary island-but the Isle of Wight. To most people this may not mean anything, but to an Englishman it means the summer of good Queen Victoria. From the shore, where the white waves dash on the shining beach, the land gently rises to a crown of an old, picturesque castle. The moss-covered building is, nestled peacefully among the friendly trees. The surrounding countryside looks like an old oil painting. Here and there wave red and orange poppies, while among them graze a number of black and white cows. This little island seems to typify the peacefulness and solidity of Englandg it stands for everything the British people have striven for through the ages. 23 THE REFLEC TOR .iL1.ll- - 1 lillil Sport Shirts, and How By Warren E. Erbe, june '37 Out of the thick steam which filled the shower room of the Altooner Wildcats, came the cheerful, shouting voices of the players. Boy, oh boy, did you see me hit those three over the fence? Did I make that pitcher look silly! yelled Jake Flowers, heavy slugging second baseman of the Wildcats. Three out of four for me, remarked Hank Gowdy, the pudgy center fielder. W-all, drawled Alabama Jones, the first baseman, I-all got me foh hits, if-n that thar scorer didn't rob me 0' that last double. Pitcher Dutch Dowling was howling with glee. He had made four hits including a home run, which established him as the leading hitter of the league. It did not matter to him that he had just lost his twenty-seventh game. The whole team was in a joyful mood, even though their loss had firmly entrenched them in last place in the Buckeye league. They had lost their last twelve games, but did not seem the least bit depressed over this fact. The only men who were glum were Tony Rondetti and Purdy Johnson, for they had gone hitless in the afternoon's game. This scene was typical of the Wildcats' dressing room. The club was composed of a group of hardy veterans who believed in frequent hits and did not bother over games won or lost. Manager Mike Randolph was one. of the old school of baseball players, and threatened to kick off anyone who dared to bunt instead of hitting. It did not matter to him that Zeke Hupfel's ex- treme slowness permitted many flies hit to his sector to fall fairg and that Butch Jamison, at third, could hardly pick up a grounder, as long as they hit in the neighborhood of .360. The whole team was picked mainly for their hitting strength rather than for their fielding ability. To Mike it made no difference that the team was last in the league as long as they led the league in batting. ' Things rolled on happily until one morning, as Mike Randolph sat in his office, the telephone jangled loudly. As he replaced the receiver he swore to himself. Bah, curse the luck, more of that dang office interference. Now they are wishing that punk Dugan on me, and I gotta play him immediately, even with jake hitting .379. Curse the luck. As he opened the morning edition of the Daily Star in the locker room the following day, he spotted the headlines: Wildcats purchase sensational rookie. It went on to list Tommy Dugan's capabilities and told of his college life and his participation in many sports there. It mentioned that he was ai fiashy fielder and had set a college record for double plays, though he batted only 276. jake Flowers, the Wildcats' second baseman, was Worried, for he knew that he had slowed down considerably and was in danger of losing his position. Well, broke in Tony Rondetti, hefty left fielder, what shall we do? Give him an easy time and let him set an example for other college boys who want our jobs? 24 THE REFLEC TOR l -cl- Like heck, sneered Hank Gowdy. VVe'll give him a hard time trying to break in with us. lf he gets a good throw from me on those double plays, my name ain't Purdy, said johnson, the short stop. Blimp Arnolds, the immense catcher, grinned. Don't worry, no college boy will get your job if I have my way about it. ' The next day, on his arrival at the ball park, Mike's anger was aroused at the sight of a stocky, rather sawed off, but alert athlete in a many hued sport shirt. Now if there was one thing that Mike could not stand it was guys who wore what he termed them new fangled sport shirts. In fact, there was a rule in the club forbidding the wearing of such clothes. Bitterly reflecting upon this, Mike entered the locker room. Zeke Hupfel yelled out none too gently, Where's the rah-rah boy? Has he got a chaperone with him? Mike was in the act of replying when several other players uttered cries of amaze- ment, and Blimp Arnolds managed to murmur, Gosh, take a gander at that shirt! Mike wheeled, and there in front of him stood the same fellow he had noticed as he entered the ball park. Within a few seconds Tommy Dugan had sensed the hostility of the players, but he broke out cheerfully, Well, so you're the famous Wildcats. Then he added, This is me, Tommy Dugan, in person, and you'd better like me, for if you don't I'l1 make you. He took them completely by surprise as though he had just dropped through the roof, and they were silent as though awe-struck. He turned to Mike and said: Come on, dearie. Shake me out a suit and let's get going. Mike, one leg out of his pants, froze in that awkward position, and found himself as incapable of making a comeback as any of the other players. In the confusion, Mike had forgotten to tell Tommy where to bat in the practice before the ensuing game with the jackrabbits. So when Purdy john- son stepped to the plate, he found Tommy standing there before him, giving no impression of wanting to move. Tommy was a good live inches smaller, but the manner in which he looked at Purdy made him move back involuntarily. Now Frankie Blumenhack, the batting practice pitcher, had no intention of giving Tommy a good pitch to hit at, and proceeded to throw them in the direction of Tommy's head, but Tommy promptly slapped them back and bounced them off Frankie's shins. Thereafter Frankie showed remarkable con- trol. The game was running along smoothly, with the Wildcats leading the -Iackrabbits by 4-1 at the end of the sixth inning. Tommy had been playing bang-up ball, and snared many a grounder that Jake Flowers would not have gotten within ten feet of. It was on the next play that it happened. Purdy had just fielded a grounder and Tommy had covered second, expecting Purdy to throw it to him for the forceout. However, he never expected Purdy's speedy throw, and missed it completely. This made him look very bad, and the enraged fans began hooting him. Only now did Tommy realize the extent of the grudge of the older players. 25 PHE REFLECTOR Tommy decided to have it out with Purdy immediately after the end of the game, and then give them a dose of their own medicine the following day. As the players trooped into the locker room, they were joyfully chatting over tl1e number of hits that they had made, when Tommy interrupted them. He stepped in front of Purdy and exclaimed, What do you mean by throw- ing that ball as if you were pitching. Trying to make me look bad, eh? l'urdy's massive form started to shake, and he said, Look what's asking for a fight-little half pint. VVhy, with one finger I--. Before he had finished his sentence, Tommy had grabbed him by his arm and left leg and began slowly to twist Purdy into odd shapes. Not for nothing had he been college wrestling champion. He then slammed a half Nelson on Purdy, and, after a few minutes, Purdy dropped limply to the floor, his face fiushed with embarrassment. None of the other Wildcats looked will- ing to take up where Purdy had left off, so Tommy left the Club House, feel- ing lots better after his little work-out. Manager Mike Randolph whistled to himself: If it weren't for them danged sport shirts, well--. The next day, in the second game of the series, they were leading by two runs, when Tommy decided to give the VVildcats a dose of their own medicine. As he fielded a sharp bounder, he immediately cut loose with a scorching throw to second base, where Purdy should have been. However, he had loafed, expecting Tommy to dash over himself to make the putout. Therefore the ball Iiew into the left field boxes, and two runs crossed the plate, tying the score. It did not go unnoticed that Purdy had been at fault, and he was in for a great deal of razzing from the bleacher fans for the duration of the game. In the seventh inning Tommy proceeded to put the Wildcats ahead with a ringing double over third base, driving in Zeke Hupfel, who was on second. VVith two out in the ninth, the last batter-up for the Jackrabbits hit a ball slightly out of the first baseman's reach, and as he scrambled for it, Tommy ran to cover first. Alabama Jones, the first baseman, deliberately threw it low, trying to make Tommy look bad. Tommy, however, stabbed out his hand for the ball just as the runners' spikes tore into his hand, gouging it in several places. But the putout had been made, and the Wildcats had Hnally won a series from a team. Tommy was lying on the rubbing table, having his badly injured hand sterilized and bandaged, when the players trooped in. Alabama Jones edged up to the table and asked the Doc how Tommy was, and when informed that the injury was somewhat serious, he began to fumble with his glove and grin sheepishly. After much deliberation he finally spluttered his apologies to Tommy for having made such a deliberately bum throw, and then turned to the rest of the team and said: If you-all don't think this heah boy am O. K., you-all can come and see me and I'll attend to you-all. Zeke Hupfel nodded his approval and said, All right by me. He wrecked his hand to save the game, and it does feel mighty good to win once again. So my vote goes for him too. The rest of the team all chimed in with Alabama and Zeke, and Tommy grinned at them, feeling glad that he had won their 26 THE REFLECTOR l..1 .....l.-l- - 1l- admiration. Manager Mike Howland muttered, Now you take them sport shirts--. Aw, lay ofI'n the kid, drawled Jones. Let him wear what he-all wants to. Well, as I was saying, continued Mike, yesterday as I passed the store I noticed a couple of nice plaid ones, and I was thinking that if you would snap out of it and begin winning some ball games, I would give you each a couple as a bonus. Boy, will I be doing my darndest to get one of those shirts, said Tony Rondetti. I got my eye on a yellow and blue down at I-Iorner's-I'd even lay me down a hunt to get one of those.

The girl has golden curls, tumbling over her shoulders from under the rippling brim of her sun hat. She is dressed in pale colors, with an armful of wheat held in the folds of her green skirt. In the other hand, she holds a small scythe. She is looking across a wide expanse to her mate, the blond young man. His gray eyes meet her blue ones steadily while he stands poised amid green grasses and coral rocks. He carries his wheat in a great bundle over his shoulder, while by his left side leans his staff. No one will ever know the secrets hidden behind his blond strength and her petite grace, for they are a pair ol pretty, little, china statuettes dressed in peasant costume. They chose our mantel as their stand a long time ago, and they have kept it ever since. 27 THE REFLECTOR 1- i - Theatre Menaces By Tunis De Yager, june, 1936 Were this a melodrama, it would tell of the country miss who became ensnared in the city while attempting fame on the stage. But, as you shall see, I merely wish to enumerate my own selfish grievances against this most popular of entertainments. It is unnecessary to mention the child in arms Who bursts out crying at the climax of the play. He is a world-wide menace. These are my own personal grievances. The first is the unbearable who drapes his collar-bones on the back of my seat and obligingly breathes with violence in my ear. He does this only when I am sitting upright. When I slump, he inserts his chin into my shoulder. The next is the cute little squirmy rascal who can't make up his mind whether he should stand in my line of vision or sit in his mother's lap with his feet pressed firmly in my ribs. I believe this fellow's little cousin is the one who eats the soft chocolate behind me. His mother, with malicious delight, draws out a candy bar. She unwraps half of it. It is wrapped, of course, in a crackly paper that barely drowns out the speaker's voice. The other half is to keep the child's fingers from becoming sticky. This is a poor excuse. She knows he'll grab the melt- ing chocolate. The child, young as he is, slyly waits until I drop my guard. Slumped though I may be, I am intent on the picture. He senses that the time has arrived, and, without further ado, he grasps my ear. Among the minor offenders, there is the boy to my left who wheezes, or perhaps whistles through his nose. He also occupies the entire arm of the seat. The incessant cougher or the loud nose-blower are the least offensive, in my opinion. I know that no one but myself has ever had any of these tryingexperiences, so I shall henceforth suffer in silence. My sole reason for writing this is to ease my own suffering by confiding it to another. The Village Crony By Margaret Schmitt, june '36 As slow of motion as a snail, He wanders down to the village store. The assembled philosophers resent his coming.

To the mountains of blocks and armies of tin soldiers which surrounded him, he delivered a hearty kick and sent them swiftly across the room. Darling, play with your blocks and soldiers. Humph, he mimicked disgustedly, and stamped his feet with all the might of a harrassed two-year-old. He glanced irritably around the room. The door leading to the hallway stood slightly ajar. Ah, here's a chance to get out of this ole room, he thought. Ivith a remarkable indifference to the twinge of conscience he experienced, Jimmy crossed the room and peered cautiously into the deserted hallway. Suddenly his face became wreathed in a mischievous grin. There's Bob's sailboat. Oh boy, just the thing-and a tubful of water. Gosh, this is goin' t' be fun. He dragged a shaky stool over to the vessel of water. Then he scratched his head in perplexity. How d'ya climb these things? he wondered. Jimmy placed his right foot on the lower rung of the stool. It tottered unsteadily . . . G-gosh, this isn't a bit easy, he exclaimed . . . O-o-o-oh, it's falling. The stool wavered, tilted, as -Iimmy's round little body swayed uncertainly. He placed his other foot on the next rung. Ch, gee, what do I do next? G-golly, this is gettin' worse. Oh-oh, gee, I'm gonna fall. Oh-ooh--. XVith a resounding splash, Jimmy landed in the tub of ice cold water. Dazedly, he lifted himself to his feet. His turned-up nose wrinkled until it could hardly be seen, and his lips trembled as he frantically cried for his mother. Mom, mom-mm, he wailed. Fortunately, the water was shallow. It reached a little above the boy's waistline. He dragged himself up further and increased his passionate crying. Suddenly he was confronted by the horrihed gazes of his mother and dad. His crying ceased instantly, and he smiled gleefully. As his mother gathered her bedraggled son into her arms and hastily wrapped him in a warm blanket of fleecy wool, Bobby, -Iimmy's older brother, appeared on the scene. In answer to his surprised question, What's all this excitement about? his father unceremoniously led him to l1is room, and for several minutes follow- ing, loud lamentations and frantic pleadings could be heard. No, I'll never leave the water in the tub. No, I'll never let jimmy get my sailboat again. No-no, I won't-honest, dad, honest. Later, as jimmy, none the worse for his experience, rested peacefully amidst warm, fleecy blankets, Bobby entered the room. He glared at his young brother and silently wondered why little brothers had to be born. Jimmy gazed innocently at his angry brother and silently wondered what ailed Bob, when he, Jimmy, was the one who had taken the ducking and was obliged to remain in bed the entire day. 31 THE REFLEC TOR . - Poetry Page By Mary Kennedy, june '39 The Call of the Easl- The other day while walking I could catch the scent of spices, Along the white sea-shore, Harken to the talk of sycis, I heard Romance a-calling Hear the call for minted ices From Bagdad and Lahore. On the bund before Randor. I could see the moonlight shifting, If you pass me in the starlight, Hear the hot sand drifting, And my eyes you fail to see, Feel my heart a-lifting Do not think me rude, my dear one ln a temple near Angkor. ------ Merely pity me. For Romance has touched me greatly, And my soul, it longs to be Where the dark brown shores of India Meet the smiling Asian sea. Day Dreams 1 My dreams are just like snowflakes Books Drifting from the skies. They float in misty, dreamy space, Passing by my eyesg Until the bitter wind of fact- Harsh, and grim, and gray, Scattering all my pretty dreams, Blows them all away. Books are magic ships Sailing o'er all seas, And in them 1 can travel Anywhere I please. The Last Period's Bell No rushing, no racing, no thunder of clouds, No pushing, no surging, no shouting of crowds, No stamping, nor tramping of horses excel The mad dash of classes at last period's bell. With eyes on the goal, they rush to the door, Not heeding the poor souls they knock to the floor, Not hearing assignments called out for next day, Not caring, not minding, they fly on their way. Yet no slowness, no dullness, no sly hesitating, No stopping, nor standing, no long-lasting waiting, No lagging nor dragging of donkey or mule Is like that same class on the way back to school. 32 THE REFLECTOR The Straight and Narrow Path By Theodore Milnovic, February '40 Danny Sims was a constant worry to his friends, parents, and, of course, to his teacher. He was continually getting into trouble for mischievous behavior. If he wasn't tying tin cans to dogs' tails, he was stoning cats or doing other things a civilized little boy should not do. One day Dan's teacher, Miss Randall, detained l1in1 after the others had gone home. He was guilty of throwing erasers: this was violating the rules of the class room. Daniel, said Miss Randall, the trouble with you is that you do not follow the straight and narrow path, if you were to do this, though it might be difficult, you would surely get your reward at the end. Now, I want this to be the last of your erring ways. Do you understand? Yes'm, replied our culprit, shamefacedly. As Dan left the room hurriedly,'Miss Randall called after him, Remem- ber, Daniel, the straight and narrow path! On the following day Danny's teacher noticed that Danny was not pres- ent. Thinking that he had been playing truant, she visited his home that same evening. Upon her arrival at the Sims' residence, she was confronted by the little boy's mother, who greeted her with a cold, impersonal stare. Following the polite formalities of an introduction, Miss Randall was led to Danny's bedroom. There on a bed lay Danny, with a badly bruised face and his arm encased in a heavy plaster cast. My heavens, Daniel, what in the world has ever happened to you! exclaimed his astonished teacher. Miss Randall, replied the lad, I simply followed your advice. You asked me to follow a straight and narrow path, and the Stiles' garden wall is the straightest and narrowest path in our neighborhood! The Adventures of john Freshman John Freshman set off for Clifton High with a brave heart but wobbly knees. As he approached the school, he was confronted by wily Bill Sopho- more, who was always on the lookout for new victims. Bill Sophomore stepped forward and asked politely, Have you already acquired an elevator pass? If not, I will sell you one at a greatly reduced rate, ten cents instead of twenty- live. John Freshman felt highly honored at this show of generosity, and proudly hshed out a dime from his pocket and accepted the elevator pass with thanks. He was glad to have met with sucl1 a bargain and went glee- fully on his way. As he stepped inside the door, he was met by smiling Benny junior, who offered to sell John Freshman a hall pass for only live cents instead of twenty-hve. John Freshman was almost bursting with gratitude at this unexpected streak of good fortune. 33 l HE REFLECTOR He found that his room was on the third Hoor, and inquired of Jack Senior where he could find the elevator. He was directed to the opposite end of the building but searched in vain. So he decided he would have to walk up. After many fruitless wanderings, he finally arrived, footsore and weary, at the room assigned to him. A few days later, on the way to his history class, he managed to get into the wrong room, where he stayed, feeling that something was wrong but not knowing what, and took a test which he knew nothing about. On the mor- row he found out, to his fright, that he had been in the wrong room. When his history teacher asked him where he had been yesterday, John Freshman thought something terrible would happen to him for not being in the place where he should have been. He stammered, Oh-oh-oh, I went to the wrong room, but there was a substitute there and now he's gone and nobody knows where I was. Poor John Freshman was in a terrible fix, but his test paper proved to be his salvation. As he plodded wearily home that day, he still quaked in fear of what might have happened if he had not taken the test. Poor John Freshman- what trials and hardships he must endure. Lucky Falla By Betty De Graef, February '40 Danny Moore, one of Grange High's best basketball players, was crossing the street one day when a climax came that affected his life from that moment to the end of his days. Of the two cars that were racing toward each other at terrific speed, one skidded. It slid swiftly toward Danny and struck him down. The driver hurriedly stopped the car, picked up Danny, and rushed him to the hospital. Here it was ascertained that Danny's left leg had been injured beyond human ability to cure completely. A few months later Danny was home again, however, he now needed a crutch. Formerly, at the close of school, Danny spent his time practicing bas- ketball, but now-oh, well, he retired to the balcony. Days passed and Danny still sat in the balcony after school hoursg he could no longer pursue his ath- letic activities. Instead, he soon learned to see the faults of every player, who, in turn, benefited by his discoveries. In such a manner things progressed until the day of the final game for the championship of the district. The team was in excellent form. The boys were quite confident of victory. The whistle blew and the game began. After the third quarter, Grange High was in the lead. Ah! at last the game was over. Cheers roared. Horns blared forth. In a faraway corner sat a sad, tear-eyed boy, Wl1o was lame. Yes. it was Danny. He was glad that his high school had won, though deep in his heart he had a queer feeling. Never again could he play at the games and help win victories. 34 THE REFLEC TOR l- 1 What was that? The captain of Grange High was making a speech. What was he saying? Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, we have fought and won this game. But, we aren't the real winners. The one who fought the hardest and deserves the most credit is Danny Moore. Come here, Danny. Tl1at's it, boysg bring him here. Everyone then heard of Danny's watchful eyes and helpful instruction. Everyone clapped and cheered for Danny. Gee, said Danny, but I'm a lucky 'fella'.

Remember, too, how we wished that the tournament winners might play against the upperclassmen-and beat them? Well, we did get our wish to play them, but alasl they defeated us. We had an excellent team-one that gave the uppers some stiff competi- tion. They fought plenty. The score was close right from the start, but it seems that no one really remembers how it stood at the end, except that the upperclassmen had won by a few-a very few-points. Anyhow, the game was great! Boys' Basketball By Elizabeth Hoar Coach Dan Cheston certainly produced a great basketball team this year. Winning eight league games out of fifteen starts is quite a record for a bunch of freshies, isn't it? Maybe when these boys become juniors and Seniors they'll make up a championship team that will bring glories to our school. Bet you can hardly wait to see them win the county title! By Elizabelh Hom' The Girls' Athletic Association is doing everything it possibly can to make it easier for the girls to gain A. A. credit and earn their awards. Miss Kelley is holding the fistball tournaments every gym day, after school: and she has organized a Saturday morning gym class, where girls can train for leadership in any sports and have a grand time for more than two hours each week. And the A.A. meetings. YVhy, they're more like parties than anything else, with even the most dee-licious of refreshments. The girls are giving marvelous support to all A.A. activities. With theater parties to New York, hikes to Garret Mountain, hobby parties for the Freshmen, and maybe a bus trip to the Palisades this June, I don't wonder why they're so interested.

Nutt's twenty-fifth year as Princi- pal of Clifton High School, a large dinner was held on Tuesday eve- ning, May 26, at the Swiss Chalet, where he was the guest of honor. The entire school faculty, Mrs. Walter F. Nutt, Superintendent and Mrs. George Smith, and Mr. Nutt's office staff were all present at this gala affair. During the course of the eve- ning, the faculty presented Prin- cipal Nutt with a gift of apprecia- tion for the years of service and loyalty rendered to Clifton High. A program of speeches was also arranged to which Superintendent Smith, Vice-Principal Harry Col- lister, and a representative from each department of the school very ably contributed. The heads of the various com- mittees were as follows: Mrs. Percy Hackett, in charge of the dinner arrangementg Miss Ruth Smith, in charge of the selection of a gift, and the fC'0ntin'u.ed on Page Sevenj .l-1-1 Many Sports Enjoyed By A. Girls One of the greatest accomplish- ments of the G. A. A. this semester was the formation of a Saturday morning Leaders' Class, which has long been awaited. In these classes the girls leam two team games and one individual sport so they may become good leaders in their particular choice of activities. Frequent hikes to the nearby mountains were also sponsored by the organization. Many students attended these hikes and great times were had by all. The girls enjoyed the many sports that were offered them through the purchase of new equip- ment from the funds obtained by the success of the Girls' Athletic Association dance given last fall. tContinued on Page Sevenj January '36 Class Starts Program for Beautification of chod- Grounds Vocational Guidance Program a Success Many Students Interviewed By Counsellors Many of the students of this school have been interviewed by Miss C. Smith and Mr. C. Berthold, sponsors of the Vocational Guid- ance Program. They help the stu- dents plan their futures. The main purpose of this program is to see as many of the graduating seniors as possible and to try to help each -to decide on a career, or, if one is already chosen, the best way to achieve that goal. So far, this program, which has been in existence for three years, has been successful. This year, out of the one hundred and sixty stu- tConti'naed on Page Tenj Amplidcation Unit , Eagerly Anticipated Most certainly all of you stu- dents know about the amplification system that is being worked on by the authorities of our school! But perhaps many of you have never really given this grand idea a thought. If you have not done so, do it now! Think how wonder- ful it would be if those unfortun- ate students, who have to sit far back in the auditorium, could hear the assembly programs with ease, without having to stretch their necks in attempting to hear the speakers. Now that we have such a large student body in our school, it is becoming more neces- sary every term to install some- thing like this. The fund for the installment of this new system is coming along very nicely. Of course, this would have been quite impossible if it were not for some of the various organizations that have contribut- ed so generously to this fund. We have been very fortunate to have QConti'nued on Page Elevenj Surroundings Improved as a Result of Contributions From Graduates Future Plans Made The faculty, students and alum- ni of Clifton High School will long remember May nineteenth, nine- teen hundred and thirty-six as an important milestone in the his- tory of the school. The conditions of the grounds have long been a topic for controversy among the faculty and students. Much was said, but little was done. How- ever, the graduating class of Janu- ary, 1936, realized the need for improvements on the landscape. As a result the class contributed an amount to purchase trees as a step toward beautifying the sur- roundings, Russell E. Planck, president of the class, Miss Erma. Brown an.d Miss Doris Connolly, class advisers, were active in their staunch support of this plan. The June class of 1936 has de- cided to follow in the footsteps of the January class, and consequent- ly, has planted five trees. Ten trees have been planted, three on either side of the center stairs, and two by the side steps. There were two chamacy paris pisiferas and eight fern pftze- rianas. Those planted by the cen- ter stairs were donated by the January class, and the others were donated by the June class. Mr. Peterson, representative of Bobbink and Atkins, local nursery which supplied the trees, expressed his views on how we might land- scape our grounds and I am put- ting them in this article for fu- ture reference. The accent points should be on each side of the main entrance, and then the area around the lamp- posts could be emphasized. Low budding evergreen could be placed at these points.

NEWSETTES June, 1936 Everything Stopped For Realty Tea The Girl Reserves were credited with the new idea of giving a Fac- ulty Tea to the women teachers of this high school. This affair took place at the Y.W.C.A. of Pas- saic, New Jersey, under the direc- tion of Miss Thelma Holcombe, the club's sponsor. Mrs. Nutt and Mrs. Kroll kindly consented to pour tea. The room was gaily decorated in accordance with Saint Patrick's Day. The center piece was a huge shamrock made by Margaret Ken- nedy and Marian Wesley. Even the delicious refreshments that were served were appropriate to Saint Patrick's Day. Shamrock-shaped sandwiches and pistachio ice cream were some of the very attractive items of the tea. Movies were shown by Mr. Mat- thews of Passaic, about the Stay- at-Home-Camp of the Y.W.C.A., and the club's secretary, Miss Myrle Pullis, lectured as the pic- tures were given. The thirty people who attended the tea greatly appreciated the graciousness of the young ladies in charge of the event. They were as follows: On the refreshment committee were the Misses Ruth Kroll, chair- mang Adele Strogen, Patsy Lever- ton, Betty Leverton, Annabelle Brunkhardt, Martha Munn. The reception committee con- sisted of the Misses Adele Strogen, chairman: Mary Dyer, Katherine Keeler, Catherine McCarthy. On the entertainment committee were the Misses Anne Becker, chairmang Diane Marchini, Alma Concien. It is a custom which got oil? to a fine start, and it is hoped by many that it will continue to flourish. Various Characteristics Constitute Personalities of Reflector Staff That peculiar organization that brings forth your periodical is known as the Reflector Staff. The personalities of that stall' are cer- tainly reflected in the book. For instance, take the literary editor. Who wants him? That is beside the point. This quaint person, who goes about under the name of Leo McMullin, is the one who gives you those delightful stories. Don't blame him if you don't like the stories 'cause they're the best of what he gets. Convinced that the women are always talking, he tries valiantly and very ably to uphold the man's side. An infectious grin and his sarcastic wit all help to make him the department's prob- lem child and the despair of the sponsors and editor. His assistant, and guiding force of that department is Marjorie Brittain, that prominent 4-1. It has been whispered about in select cir- cles that she and Miss R. Smith are the department. Certainly both of them are very loyal. Marjorie has that youthful exuberance and is always bubbling over with chat- ter. We turn now to the School News Department sponsored by that de- lightful person, Mrs. Bloore. She has brilliant ideas regarding her department, over which she grows very ecstatic in her own charming way. It is this ecstacy which en- dears her to the staff. The editor of the department is Dorothy Blair. Dot is characterized by her un- failing steadiness, her good judg- ment and tact, and her omnipresent smile. The Sports Department is strictly masculine with Mr. Ben- son as its sponsor and Walter Fleischer as editor. Walter talks little and thus does not reveal so much about himself, but he also is a diligent worker. The Humor Department is ed- ited by Margaret Kennedy and sponsored by Miss C. Smith. Both of them are ever genial and have a never failing bit of humor. The Art Department is spon- sored by Miss Dangremond and edited by Lydia De Nadel.

Pupils Delight In Vocal Tuning Up Music hath charm. Thus goes the familiar saying. Does this re- fer to all music? It all depends upon the type of music one ad- mires, I should sayg but I am sure that all of you heartily agree that the music which has been rendered by our various high schoolchoruses at different assemblies and on spe- cial occasions, is pleasing to our musical ears. Our school may boast of the following music groups: Freshman Choir-Meets Monday and Wednesday. Membership in this choir is required as an introduction to Glee Club work, and its purpose is to familiarize students with good choral music, its interpretation and rendition. Rehearsals are more or less informal, as are most music classes. Students derive pleasure as well as culture from member- ship. No public appearance has been made thus far this termg they are planning a Freshman Choir Assembly, however, early in the spring. This group has been only recently organized, but has made remarkable strides, and has reached a membership of almost one hundred students. Mixed Chorus-Meets Tuesday and Wednesday during the eighth period. Both boys and girls form the membership of this group and approximately one hundred and fifty students attend meetings. Songs are sung in four-part mixed chorus arrangements. Old familiar songs are studied, with an occa- sional popular song mixed in. Heretofore, this mixed chorus has been only a practice group, and has made no public appearance. The members have done so well this term, however, that they are being considered for a place on one of the spring programs. Boys' Glee Club-Meets every Tuesday during the seventh period. This is a selected group. Mem- bers must be skilled in reading music as Well as in interpretation of songs. Remarkably fine voices are blended in this club of ap- proximately forty-iive members. Tenors, Baritones, and Basses work together toward success. Not only has the Boys' Glee Club appeared as a unit by itself, but it has sung in conjunction with the Girls' Glee Club on several occasions which fContinued on Page Twelvej June, 1936 C. H. S.

These trees provide shade and graceful growth. The area surrounding the flag- pole is badly in need of repairs: A bed of flowers such as cannas or tulips would prove most at- tractive. The pupils, teachers, janitors, and the school board should co- operate with this worthy project, and the next graduating class should be prevailed upon to plant some shrubbery. There is no doubt that the jani- tors will receive cooperation from the students when it is a question of keeping the landscape attrac- tive. Every student wants to be proud of his school. School No, T0 has long been a source of pride to those who have graduated from there. Mr. Andrew W. Chambers, Secretary of the Board of Educa- tion, should be commended for his interest and assistance. Indeed, much credit is due to every per- son and organization that has done his bit to further this worthy cause. Liven-Up With Girl Reserves ii. Many New Ideas Credited to Members of Club During Past Term To all obliging, and benevolent to all. The above stated words may well be applied to the Girl Reserves Or- ganization in this High School. This club has made a rapid as- cension during the four years of its existence. The success of this association, which has an enroll- ment of seventy members, is large- ly due to the active and entertain- ing programs scheduled for each term. Some of the social events for the two semesters were as follows: Thanksgiving baskets were pre- pared by the members for the needy families of this vicinity. A dance was also held in November, to which the Hi-Y boys were in- vited. In December, these thoughtful girls gave a Christmas party to the Passaic Orphans, and they also took gifts to these children. The Bingo Party, which was held on December 11, proved to be a very entertaining and enjoyable oc- casion. Sleighing festivals and. card parties were enjoyed during the month of January. February yielded numerous so- cial activities such as the Valentine Dance, a semi-formal aifair, which took place on the eighth of the month, a lecture on Life was given by Dr. Slaif at the Y.W.C.A. on February 103 social games were played on the twenty-fourth. The main contribution for March was the Faculty Tea, given on the sixteenth. A Lenten Breakfast was cele- brated on April 4, beginning at seven-thirty in the morning. Marian Wesley, the club's presi- dent, led the worship service. All the Girl Reserves Organizations of this part of New Jersey were pres- ent. The celebrations for the lovely month of May were the Mother and Daughter Banquet given on the twentieth of the month, and a formal dance on the twenty-ninth. Well, people, let's really liven-up with the Girl Reserves! Page four C. H. S. NEWSETTES June, 1936 GI. TH. 9.

Clifton High School, June, 1936 Vol. 1000 No. 13 The Forum was created for the purpose of giving students an op- portunity to bring to the front any new ideas they may have about extra-curricular activities, credit systems, athletics regulations, and the like. The Forum is a means by which the entire student body may become acquainted with the pro- posed plans. The letters which have been chosen are those dealing with conditions pertaining to the good of the greatest number of students. Lettenr to the Editor Dear Editor: The Clifton High School Reflec- tor, a very good book indeed, does not seem to interest very many persons besides the graduates. I think the Refiector should be made a book for graduates only and have a newspaper for the stu- dents in general. The newspaper would surely thrive. It could be a bi-weekly paper with all the sport news, club news, hall gossip, and many other topics that stu- dents would literally eat up . The Journalism Class would have an- other project to work on. An Advertising Club could be begun which would help in that line of work. The ads that the students would solicit from the local stores and businesses would almost pay for the paper. The Reflector would not have so much material in it, but would be lower in price. All the students could and would buy this paper, for the maximum price would never reach five cents and everyone in the school could spare one nickel every two weeks. A student who saved every paper issued would have practically a complete diary of all the important and eventful happenings during the school term. Students could air their opinions by writing to the Journalism Class, and the agreement or reasons for disagreement could be given in the next issue which would clear up many things that are at odds with students. If this paper were adopted, students would become more interested in social activities, in other words, school spirit would be heightened. This would pack the stadium, crowd the auditorium, and make the clubs overflow. The main reason why this is not an existing condition is that students are not well informed. How can students have school spirit when they don't know there is something to be spirited about? It is an impossibility. Perhaps we never have had a newspaper because the executives fear the paper will lose financially. Well, suppose it did lose, and lose a lot! Wouldn't the increase of revenue from sports and plays cover even the greatest possible loss? The gain in knowl- edge of advertising, salesmanship, and journalism would cover the monetary loss, for no price is too high to pay for knowledge. I sincerely hope that this plan will be considered and adopted as soon as the necessary parapher- nalia can be installed. Sincerely yours, Matthew Stap Editor's Comment: Clifton High School once had a newspaper called The Refiector Pup. Four or five in a classroom would purchase the paper and then pass it around the room. I thor- oughly agree that the knowledge attained would be invaluable, but financial means must be present. I doubt very much if organizations would contribute to such a paper because it helped to make them more popular. I fail to understand why the Reflector should not interest all students. The Senior section is but one small part of the Reflector. The group pictures and write-ups include all classes. The literature is contributed by all classes. Why, even the Freshmen have an entire section for themselves. May I sug- gest that if each class got together they might be able to organize such a section for themselves. I sincerely believe it would be very diflicult to issue a newspaper twice a. month. It is amazing how much copy can be included in a news- paper. Do you think we have enough news to warrant one? The Reflector staff has endeavored this year to give you school news that will interest all. Dear Editor: You probably know of the numer- ous clubs and organizations of Clifton High and have some knowl- edge of their activities, but there is one club that is missing. The missing organization that I am referring to is the Alumni Club. As Editor of the Forum, you are in close contact with the student body and know of their activities. You evidently derive a great deal of enjoyment and pleasure from your relationship with the students, and you will continue to do so until-? You are only a student yourself and will graduate in a few short years. Then what? Will you just drift away and forget, or will you look back upon days spent in Clifton High with the fellows and girls who were your friends? Will you wish you could see them again? You surely will. If there were an Alumni Club, this would be possible. Why not get together and get this organiza- tion formed, and really have a club that will be an immortal organiza- tion of Clifton High? Yours truly, Richard Bowden Editor's Comment: I heartily agree with Richard Bowden. I will not be so fortu- nate as to spend a few more years at Clifton High School, but I must leave it this month. Greatly have I enjoyed my four years here. I sincerely wish that such a thing as an active Alumni Club might be, so that we could continue friend- ships we have cultivated over a period of four years. Fellow Students: I wish to complain about the shortage of lockers in the High School. Many students come to class with their coats on, because there are not enough lockers. I believe this can be remedied by using the rows of lockers that are boarded up in the basement. There is room on the third and first floors for an extra set of lockers such as are on the second floor. Respectfully yours, .Tack Fox June, 1936 C. H. S. NEWSETTES Page five Forum Editor: Can you picture a student the fatal night before his Latin or Geometry or Chemistry exam? Can you see him cramming, so earnestly that the veins in his forehead look ready to burst open any second? Perhaps you have had this same experience. Success in learning the most irregular French verb and the stiffest geo- metrical theorem is not worth the agony that goes with it. I don't see why we have to take semi- annual examinations when other leading high schools are getting along famously without them. In Bloomfield High School, stu- dents are given one-period tests every six weeks. If this system is used, the regular schedule is not affected in any way. It also saves the eight days devoted each year to examinations. This time can be used in review or advanced work. Between the six-week periods, the students have daily tests just as we do. The large tests are re- garded somewhat as little examina- tions. A short review before the test is sufficient to recall to the student the main facts he has learned from the course thus far. In all, the pupil has about four such tests each term. Then, when the end of the term comes, he looks forward to his vacation in- stead of worrying whether he'l1 pull through in this or that sub- ject. He may even be looking for- ward to next term. Consider all the work it saves the teachers! Instead of marking scores and scores of examination papers, they have test papers that almost a pleasure to mark. are No matter how you look at it, this can system can harm no one, but result in much good. Your helpful friend, Helen Gilewicz The Editor Replies: Yes, I have seen students strug- gling with reviews for examina- tions, but that is beside the point. Do you realize that a student who works along faithfully will be ex- empt? No one can appreciate the ex- perience received from an examin- ation until he has taken entrance examinations to some institution of higher learning. Examinations are a unique ex- perience that comes but twice a year. If we do our work regularly, why should we cram ? Certainly, no teacher will ask anything that has not been discussed in class. Until colleges abolish the ex- amination system, I see no reason why high schools should. Many colleges complain that students of excellent mental standing some- times fail college examinations be- cause they have missed this ex- perience in high school. Dear Editor: I've been waiting a long time for an opportunity to air a pet peeve of mine, so if I'm slightly vehe- ment in stating my grievance, lay the blame to the long silence I have kept. Being an ardent follower of most high school athletic activities, nat- urally I am extremely interested in anything which would tend to further the development of any sport. There existed for a time an organization called the Varsity Club, formed by the lettermen. This was merely a feeble attempt to get together boys who were interested in athletics, and after a while no more was heard of it. In a small way that club is an illustration of an idea that should be introduced into the high school. The boys' sports certainly arouse more interest in the com- munity than the girls': yet the girls have an active association, and the boys do nothing . Most clubs die out because of a lack of interest. Don't you think the boys would be more than inter- ested if each of the outstanding players in every field were to give interesting pointers about the game: and if outside speakers re- nowned in the sporting world were invited to address them? Of course they would. I am confident that such an organization would be extremely helpful to the boys, to the athletic instructors, and the school's sport reputation: conse- quently, no time should be lost in re-establishing such a club. Your peeved fan, Kay George Fellow Students: I am sending you a complaint regarding the school. I believe that a signal should be given when there is no school because of bad weather. There are many nearby whistles which could give the signal. Such a plan would save much confusion. Yours respectfully, Vincent Kruchowy Dear Editor: Would it not be possible for us to eliminate all single holiday va- cations, such as Washington's Birthday, Lincoln's Birthday, Col- umbus Day, Election Day and Ar- mistice Day, and substitute for them an entire week's vacation? This vacation could come soon after the spring term has been started and not interfere with any work. Let me as a student of this school give the points of ad- vantage. A single day's vacation is not satisfactory. I mean this. When ta student is given a day off, homework is given in some subjects: he cannot forget school completely. Things cannot be plan- ned that will take more than one day, such as a trip to a relative's home, or camping. The teachers also must be con- sidered. How many students come to school on Friday after a day off on Thursday? Their plans for the week are disrupted, and every- thing is thrown off schedule. The work of the absentees must be made up. The school board would not lose but would gain by this plan. Look! The fires could be let down and electricity saved when a week is given. It would not encourage the students to be absent, and so the school would not lose money from the State. Let's see if this plan, so suc- cessfully carried out in the Glen Rock and Ridgewood schools, can- not be brought to Clifton High! Very truly yours, Charles Wenz To the Editor: For the past year or so I have heard a lot of people around the high school say that a Stamp Club should be formed and I agree with them. I think that the stamp collectors in the high school should have the right to form a club as much as those interested in radio, history, or athletics. A Stamp Club, to my way of thinking, is an educational idea, because one studies the stamps and also the countries from which they come. With a couple of teachers as sponsors, I am sure that those in- terested in such an idea could really make it go, and so get a few more people interested in their school work. Yours truly, H. Mastenbrook -Page six C. H. S. NEWSETTES June, 1936 Dear Editor: A change, long wished for by the girls of Clifton High, is a plan for a program of Inter- scholastic Sports for Girls. They have had many games among the teams of each gym class. Why not have a team chosen from the best students in each sport from the school and have them play against students of other schools in this vicinity? I have heard many of the girls say that they think it a very good idea. I think it is an excellent idea myself, as it will enable girls to better them- selves in some sport in which they are interested. The boys, members of track, football, soccer, basketball, golf, tennis, and baseball teams, have competition with other schools. They have time to practice and become well informed about the game. It would work now because the girls have an opportunity to bet- ter themselves, too. Every Satur- day morning a class is held for girls who would like to be leaders in any sport. They play occer, hockey, basketball, tennis, baseball, and have track meets. The girls, who are interested and have a good knowledge of the game, could be chosen. Also another angle on the sub- ject! The boys who are on any team for the school get nice C's to wear on their sweaters! The girls get no C's unless they Wear someone else's! We have no chance to earn one of our own. Won't you please see what can be done about it? A Sporty Rooter, Dorothy J. Blair Dear Editor: Something really should be done about the various clubs and or- ganizations in this school. There is very little cooperation among the students to form a really strong organization in any club. Several years ago, there were many very active clubs in our school, and each one had a definite purpose, and a definite goal for which to strive. These clubs accomplished a great deal which afforded enjoy- ment and which was beneficial. There was also a more democratic form of government among the students. This was made possible by the work of the General Or- ganization, Of course, I realize that condi- tions have been altered because of a two-session school, but some'thing really should be done to arouse the interest of the students con- cerning these various organiza- tions. Even the different class organ- izations such as the 4-2, 4-1, 3-2, 3-1 classes, etc., are not accomplish- ing nearly so much as in the past. It is mostly neglect on the part of the students to demonstrate any response when called upon to at- tend meetings and plan activities. For instance, arrangements might be made to give scholastic credit to some of the clubs. The Debating Club is a good example of one to which this credit might be given. Arrangements might also be made to have some really import- ant speakers at the meetings of the various clubs. Still another idea would be to plan a worthwhile trip, sponsored by all of the clubs as a unit, which could be attended only by the mem- bers of the various clubs who have attended a certain number of meet- ings. Of course there are many other alternatives, and these are merely suggestions. There surely must be some way, and I think that some- thing should be done in the very near future. Sincerely yours, Virginia Weissert Dear Editor: Have you ever seen a figure come into any of your classes, her hair falling about her face, her shoes untied, her face fiushed, her breath coming in shont gasps, and everything about her in an uproar? If you've ever wondered what was wrong with her and couldn't guess, I'll tell you. She has probably just come from gym. Many times I've come into one of my classrooms just like that. After I've seated myself, it takes me about five minutes to catch my breath. Then I try to find out what the class is discussing. By the time I begin to learn what is going on, fifteen minutes of the period have passed. I think something should be done about this. The girls should get a sufficient amount of time to dress properly. There is no pleasure in taking gym, if we have to rush ourselves to death to get to our next class on time. Yours truly, Meriel Wilson Dear Editor: Where is that band which our student body was once so eager to organize? Why was Captain Mc- Kenzie's plan met with so little response on the part of the student body? It was We who desired to have a band to inspire our players on to victory. When we heard the band playing on Thanksgiving Day, we were all eager to have one of our own to represent our school. Why do not the students cooper- ate, when the opportunity comes to them? We are very enthusi- astic when other schools have bands, but refuse to participate in one of our own. If there are not enough students who play band instruments, why did they not meet Captain McKenzie's plan with more approval? I hope that some day, we shall have a band! Very truly yours, Olga Filipovich Dear Editor, Several years ago our Honor Society gave honorable mention to students who had done especially good work in a chosen field. This was announced in the assembly in addition to the regular list of honor students. I think that if a person has more interest in one subject than another and does extra work, he deserves recognition. Perhaps his abilities lie only in one direc- tion. His effonts should be encour- aged as well as those of people who attain a good standard in every subject. Such a system would provide a stimulus for extra work in many fields. Is there any reason why this system cannot be started again? At the first assembly of every month a representative of the Honor Society could read the list of honorably mentioned, explaining the type of work done. Perhaps a small pin or button could be awarded also to make the recog- nition more definite. Can this system be started so that the honorably mentioned stu- dent may take part in the Honor Society festivities also? They may put forth their efforts 'to make the meetings more interesting by plan- ning instructive programs in the fields in which they are interested.

NEWSETTES Page seven Girls' Athletic Ass'n. fContinued from Page Onej The equipment consisted of horse- shoes, tennis rackets, a shuffle board set, jump ropes, tether balls, and a badminton set. The introduc- tion of badminton into the High School created great enthusiasm among the girls. The Girls' Athletic Association works hand-in-hand with the regu- lar Physical Education classes. By engaging in the sports taught in the classes, the girls may obtain G. A. A. credit. The morning session students played hockey, baseball, human croquet, badminton, and fistball. The afternoon session students also participated in many of these sports with the addition of soccer. A large number of these activities were closed by interclass tourna- ments. The introduction of this variety of sports has made it more nearly possible for the girls to obtain the objective of physical education. A gala event is being planned for the close of the semester. The definite planning of this event has not yet been completed, but it will perhaps be a trip to some inter- state park, and recreational enter- tainment will be held all day. This grand finale will probably be after the G. A. A. assembly, at which the installation of new officers takes place. The G. A. A. is looking for- ward to better times. Remember, every girl in the school is a member of the Girls' Athletic Association. Why don't all of you become active members and participate in the program planned for you? There are few high schools that offer you this well-rounded program of physical activity. Take advantage of it!

The golf class under the able instruction of Myron L. Kniffen has been teeing off with gusto. The class has had several lessons indoors and is now venturing out at .the call of the balmy weather. Many were pleased with them- selves, and others disappointed, and, without fear of contradiction, one can say there are more of the latter. The students are very en- thusiastic and work very hard. Flying through the air with the greatest of ease, go many things, such as the little White pill it- self, some oh's and ah's, some undertoned oaths, and a great deal of nice green grass and mud. Of course our golf game is very much better than our attempts at baseball would be, when one rea- lizes that in baseball, you're al- lowed only three strikes and you're out. Of the many rules of golf, there is one the girls find exceptionally hard to obey, and that is, keeping their heads down when the good looking instructor is standing 1163.12 The golfers take their stand at the Passaic County Golf Course.

NEWSETTES June, 1936 Novel Historical Programs Presented Trips and Movies Feature Club's Activities At the beginning of the term, members of the History Club de- cided to make current events the chief topic for discussion at their meetings. They find that many times their views on current prob- lems differ, and they sometimes engage in informal debates. Oc- casional reference to historical subjects provides variety in the weekly programs. Probably the most enjoyed events have been the trips to sev- eral places of historical signifi- cance. On April 1, the group visitedthe Dey Mansion in Preak- ness. On April 15, after vis- iting the Metropolitan Museum of Art, they witnessed the play, Jumbo, They have also taken trips to Morristown and Tappan. Miss Janet Marshall, sponsor, ar- ranged for the trips and accom- panied the group to these places. The guest speaker proved to be very entertaining. On March 13, Mrs. Herbert Ives, of Morristown, spoke on Histrical Places in New Jersey. Another novelty was the moving pictures shown at one of the meetings. They were received from Trenton, and are shown to various historical organizations. Although the number of students boasting membership in the club does not exceed fifteen, the co- operation of the group accounts for the success in their several undertakings. Oiiicers are: Vin- cenza Cusimano, presidentg David Rapp, vice-president: Evelyn Fox, secretary and treasurer. Meetings are held in Room 104 every Thurs- day during seventh period. Dues are five cents weekly. Member- ship in the club has stimulated in- terest in the regular history courses and has proved to be in- teresting and educational. The modern world belongs to the half-educated, a rather difii- cult class, because they do not know how much they really do know. --Patterson.

Kempy Thespians Receive Applause The Senior 4-1 class drew a large attendance this term at their sea- son's play. The name of the play was Kempy, which was given on the night of May 22, before a large audience. The cast was as follows: Dorothy Blair was the beautiful young spendthrift and stage-struck daughter of the family, while Duke Merril, played by Eugene Young, was the retired stock broker who married her. Ruth Stonley had the part of the sophisticated young daughter who was married to Ben Wade, a real estate agent, played by Paul Ratzin. Pa Bence was por- trayed by Ralph Smith, accom- panied by Marjorie Brittain as Ma, who, together made the show a fine one. Kempy, the bashful, young plumber who found himself in a matrimonial entanglement, was played by Lester Rhodes. Virginia Weissert played the part of the vivacious young daughter of Pa Bence. The play on the whole was ex- ceptionally good. Congratulations are in orderg so the first one goes to Miss Agnes R. Connors who so skillfully directed the play, and the next one goes to the cast for their line endeavors. Research Work Done By Diligent Members A regular Debating Club failed to organize this term because of the lack of interest shown among the students. Clifton High was the proud possessor of good debating teams in the past, and the good work might have been continued if the students had responded to the call sent out by the club sponsors for members, at the beginning of the semester. Those who did show interest, have been divided into groups, and at present, they are doing re- search work on the following topic: Resolved, That a system of socialized medicine should be a- dopted, making available to all, complete medical service at public expense. Back Stage With The Footlights Club On May 23 of this year a large bus left Clifton High School, and many gazed at the joyous group of young people in it. They were members of the Footlights Club bound for New York to see the show Dead End Q and perhaps the town alsoj. They turned out of Piaget Avenue and headed for the George Washington Bridge, where they crossed to New York and Went sight-seeing. The bus-driver oblig- ingly showed them the places of interest in New York. Then the group had lunch and headed for the theatre. They were desirous of getting pointers on acting, and of seeing professionals at work. The show was a great success. The trip was finished by a visit to the planetarium and everyone agreed that the trip had been well worth while. The play The Platitudinous Pose was cast in April, and the cast had been working on it con- stantly, although they did not ex- pect to present it this term. They were merely using it as laboratory work under student directors to in- crease their technique for stage work and acting. The trip to see Dead End gave the students many helpful pointers. They worked diligently and learned a great deal. Near the end of the term, the sponsor, Miss Margaret De Vries, suggested that the president ap- point a committee to improve the Library. This was done, and the committee planned many lovely ex- hibitions to be given next term, and devised schemes for beautify- ing the library with drapes, plants, etc. The atmosphere, as well as the books it contains, makes a library a pleasant or a disagreeable place. The club can attribute a great deal of the success of the Foot- lights Club during the past term to the sponsor and officers for their helpful cooperation with the mem- bers. Here they are: Sponsor, Miss De Vriesg President, Arnold Arne- saultg Vice President, Robert Can- torg Secretary, Mary Hoey, Trea- surer, Lucy Friedman.

NEWSETTES Page nine Hilarity Prevails At Pupils' Initiation The old members of the Honor Society pondered diligently this year over the subject of initiating the new members. They suc- ceeded in planning a program that was very entertaining to everyone present. On Friday morning, May 1, the students to be initiated, namely Angelina Andreatta, Peter Derder- ian, Herman Meninghouse, Lucy Friedman, Florence Arnesman, Beula Russell, Ethel Lugos, Kerom Manion, Beatrice Slavin, Peter Moll, Dorothy Mahalesen, Eliza- beth Prosch, and Margaret Smits, reported to room 208 and were adorned with flower baskets in their hair. With this decoration they were obliged to go to all their classes. Then at the beginning of seventh period they joined the other members of the Honor So- ciety and played games, made sandwiches and cocoa disappear like lightning, and in turn per- formed many tricks for the enjoy- ment of their fellow members. Bronze and silver C's were a- warded to the deserving members. The Honor Society was organ- ized by Miss Cora Hill, the former head of the History Department, and later taken over by Miss Clar- ice Smith to further the interest in studies in the school. Since the requirements are the same as those of the National Honor So- ciety, an honor student has a fine reference for a. position of any kind or for college entrance. The number of honor students in the school has increased a great deal since the Honor Society has been in existence. Its awards have been an encouragement for bril- liant but indolent students, as well as for diligent ones. ,ili- The man who can work just as cheerfully as if he were chasing a golf ball is a real optimist.- The Washington Star.

He didn't pay much attention to that oft-repeat- ed statement about curiosity. As a result a door went bang on Tommy's nose. Jean Quinn most vehemently objects to being called Irish and insists that she's Scotch. It's most incredible when you see her big blue eyes and mischievous grin. Harvey Dorpfeld usually looks like a retired captain. His manly chest was always decorated with some sort of pin, badge or other decoration. Gladys Branthwaite certainly resembles her brother, Howard, in one respect. Her accuracy in shoot- ing baskets is remarkable. Ray Egatz delivered a most il- luminating speech on Crime Does Not Pay in a sixth period Eng- lish class. Ray waxed both elo- quent and fiery. Haico Noonburg must be over- come by the fascination of H20. He was gazing soulfully at the small pond f?J where the waves were lapping against the shore. Jack Kerler certainly gave an enthusiastic description of Paul Revere's ride in a sixth perioTi history class. It was accompanied by gestures and ejaculations. Love's young dream is quite likely to be a longer nap for the couple who have saved some money before marriage.-Uncle Philander. Guest Speakers Give Interesting Talks The assemblies of this term were very interesting, and they were en- joyed by the student body -as a whole. As added attractions, speakers were procured, and their speeches were both beneficial and humorous. These brief talks were greatly appreciated by the audi- ence, composed of both the faculty members and the students. Among the speakers who have been heard are Captain McKenzie, Mr. McGill, Miss Lamereau, and Mr. Shields. Captain McKenzie spoke about the helpfulness of a school band, and urged the organization of such a band. He offered the students who were interested a fine chance to demonstrate their ability and to show their enthusiasm by giving them the opportunity to form a school band. Mr. McGill gave a brief talk on the morgue of a newspaper, which he compared to the morgue of our minds. His speech was a bit humorous and very impressive. He told the pur- poses, duties, and responsibilities of the newspaper morgue, and compared them with those of the morgue of our minds, and with careers and life in general. Miss Lamereau, a representative of the Berkley School at East Orange, New Jersey, gave a very humorous and interesting speech about a business experience of hers. She spoke about one's con- duct in business, and she stressed the fact that personality is very important in the business world of today. She was very entertaining and proved to be a charming guest. Another guest was Mr. Shields, who illustrated his little message by means of slides. He represented the Public Service Corporation, and his lecture was entitled The Marvel of Vision, which provided many interesting and constructive facts about light and our eyesight. Thus, the assemblies of this term were livened up and were made to be more entertaining than were those of the past. May the assemblies of the future be as successful as those of the past term have been.

NEWSETTES June, 1936 What D0 YOU Think P In view of the fact that we are interested in the personal opinions of the students, a few of the out- standing individuals from the dif- ferent classes were selected and several questions were presented to them. We are passing along to you the answers which they sub- mitted, and we sincerely hope that they will prove to be of interest to you.

It is beneficial to you, be- cause it gives you endurance and speed, and it keeps you physically fit. Vocational Guidance lCont'inued from Page One! dents who are graduating, about fifty-four have expressed their de- side to be interviewed. If one per- son were to interview all these students, it would take about eleven weeks, so you see the advisers are kept very busy. If the students are interested in college, the counselors aid them by writing to various colleges and ob- taining information from them for the students. If they have their careers chosen, or are looking for a job, the counselors advise the students how to seek a position. In order to get students more in- terested in college, several groups of students, accompanied by the sponsors, visited a few of New Jersey's foremost schools, namely: Paterson Normal School, Newark Tech, Newark College of En- gineering, Hackensack Normal School, etc. The students were given self- analogy charts which help the ad- visors to determine just what can be done for the students. Mr. Bert- hold said. I believe this program is, so far, a success. We cover the 4-2 seniors each term and pos- sibly, next term, we may also cover the juniors. I also believe we have succeeded in helping most of the students who have asked for ad- vice. June, 1936 C. H. S. NEWSETTES Page eleven Charter Club Steadily Increases Activities Ga m e s a n d Refreshments Vary Club Meetings One of the foremost organiza- tions of Clifton High School is the German Club. The German Club was formed eight years ago and has the honor of being one of the charter clubs of the school. Many of the students think the club is an organization where the members go -to pass away some of their excess time. On the contrary, the club has had numerous parties, and is now planning to go on a picnic to Garret Mountain. Plans have already been made by the members of the club to attend a Festival sponsored by the language departments of Montclair College on May 25. The club is also plan- ning to go to New York to see a movie there. Besides the above- mentioned activities, the club has gone on several other trips to places of interest, and above all, at every meeting a really good time is had by all. The members of this Club vote upon what they want to do, and no project is undertaken by the club unless the members approve of it unanimously. This system eliminates all hard feelings and perfect harmony is quite the thing at all meetings of the group. Everyone knows that the German people spend much of their time singingg so do the members of the German Club. Many old folk songs are sung and many of the very interesting legends of old Germany are read. These things provide much amusement and are some of the more educational pastimes of the club. The oflicers of the German Club are elected by the members them- selves at a poll. During polling time every member has the privi- lege of nominating a person for office and casting his vote. At present, the ofiicers of the German Club are: President, William J. Schwindg Vice President, Robert Slough, Secretary, Martha Mayer, Treasurer, Eleanor Sclmeider. The club meets every Friday in room 207 during the seventh period. Mrs. Erna Anderregg, and Miss Julia Hoffmeister are the club's sponsors. Anyone who is ac- quainted with them knows that whenever they are present, there HI-Y DOIN GS The Hi-Y Club, whose faculty adviser is Mr. M. Benkendorf, is an organization of boys who hold their meetings every Tuesday night at the Paterson Y. M. C. A. The purpose of this organization is to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and com- munity, high standards of Chris- tian character. The meetings that the students of this high school at- tend are those of the Alpha Chapter. A At the meetings there is never a dull moment, because there are speakers from the school. The club has had Mr. Nutt, our principal, Mr. Bednarsik, Mr. Donnelly, Mr. Struyck, and others. Each speaker has had various subjects and none of them were dull. Card parties are held to get funds for the club when they are needed. They also have ping pong tournaments which are very interesting, and the boys show some good playing. When no speaker is there, the members discuss topics of interest and many things are learned. The State President is Keron M. Manion and the Secretary is John A. Lebde. The slogan of this or- ganization is: Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Sportsmanship and Clean Scholarship. Anyone is Welcome to join, so come out to some of the meetings and throw your troubles away by having a really good time! is a carefree, joyous atmosphere. These teachers forget they are teachers during the club meetings and become two of the most active and well-liked members. If any of the students doubt this, or any- thing mentioned in this article, just go around to one of the club meetings and see for yourself. You cannot raise cain during the planting season and reap angels when the harvest is ripe. -Kate Burr. Hurry Up! Let' Go! Join Leaders' Class Soccer, baseball, hockey, archery, tennis, badminton, fist-ball, etc.l What will you have girls? Take your pick!! These are among the many sports from which one may choose. The G.A.A. has established this Saturday morning gym class under the able direction of Miss Mary Kelly, one of the girls' physical education instructors. This class is for girls who wish to be leaders in some certain sport. It starts at nine o'clockz and con- tinues until eleven-thirty. So come on! Get up early Sat- urday mornings and get your work done! Then come over to school and have a good time! Amplification Unit CContinued from Page Onej had several entertainments in ad- dition to the generosity of these clubs. Many of you students will re- member that in the past, we have had several trials of this system. You will also remember the en- joyable results. Did you not think it was comforting to go to those assembly periods, during the trials, and hear everything that was said? You did not have to worry about missing any instructions which might have been given. Those excusable coughs of some of the students did not disturb you either. This is how it will always be after we have a permanent sys- tem installed. Much credit -and gratitude is due Mr. Nutt, with whom the idea originated. Before many more terms have elapsed, I am sure you all heartily hope that it will be possible for Mr. Nutt, our principal enthusiast of this plan, to have the much talked about amplification unit in- stalled in our auditorium. For future issues of this news section, the Newsettes Editor will gratefully receive any school news contribution from any source. The department would appreciate help- ful suggestions from the faculty and students. If you don't care to write the item, the Editor will send a reporter to interview you and to write up the anticle. We want to make the news section bigger and better each term. Page twelve C. H. S. NEWSETTES June, 1936 Top Hat and Rabbit Man Fascinates Students The Great William, alias Mr. William Angle, gave a performance in our high school, February 17. 1936, for the Amplification Fund. The Great William is a former student of this school, which no doubt prompted him to do this kind service for our school and his old school. The students greeted him as they would an old friend and the after- noon passed as fast as his hands performed. Best of all, everyone, including the performer, went off Well pleased and happy. Pupils Tune Up fC0nt'inued from Page Twoj are mentioned below. Girls' Glee Club-Meets Monday and Wednesday during the seventh period. Like the Boys' Glee Club, this is a selected group, and ex- cellent results have been attained. The membership has mounted to nearly one hundred and fifty girls whose interest and spirit of co- operation, as in the case of the boys, has been an inspiration. Alone, and in conjunction with the boys, they have entertained very generously and expertly on many occasions. An opportunity to broad- cast, offered to them some time ago, appears to be very attractive, and they are grooming themselves with that broadcast, at some future date, in mind. The Woman's Club of Allwood has invited the Clifton High School Glee Clubs to offer a program of Christmas Carols at the December meeting of that club. The Glee Clubs have made the following appearances this year: Columbus Day Assembly Armistice Day Assembly Mark Twain Centennial Assembly Thanksgiving Day Assembly Christmas Day Assembly P. T. A. Conference Easter Assembly in the after- noon. Future dates they have made are for the Spring Concert in the High School and the Memorial Day as- sembly. Including the members of the Senior Class in the Senior Chorus, there are nearly seven hundred en- rolled in our music groups. Clifton High School is becoming more and more music conscious! Clifton High Trips the Light Fantastic: 4-1 Balloon Dance Goes Over With a Bang If you had at any time on Fri- day, the twenty-fourth day of April, ventured down to the gym- nasium, you would have found a group of excited students, all pre- paring for the senior 4-1 dance which was held that evening. After much pondering, the dance and decoration committees, led by Margaret Ward, decided to call their affair a balloon dance. The gymnasium was decorated with balloons and pastel shades of crepe paper. The chairlady, with the help of Paul Ratzen, Lillian Wonenberger, Edward Mioducki, and the committee fixed the hall very attractively. The advertising committee, con- sisting of Goldie Rosenfeld, chair- ladyg Ralph Smith, and Martin Uhlman, were responsible for many people's, other than Clifton High students, attending the dance. After the ticket committee hand- ed out tickets, collected them, and received money for them, they found that the extra work in pre- paring for the dance was well worth their while. On this com- mittee were Frank Scanlon, chair- mang Dorothy Libbey, and Ruth Baker. Miss Hanna and Miss Clough, the class sponsors, spent much time and energy in getting the 4-1's started with their dance. They were always ready with new ideas and suggestions and they always there to see that the were plans were carried out. Marjorie Brittain, president, Virginia Weissert, vice presidentg Edward Hill, treasurerg and Doro- thy Blair, assist-ant treasurer, of the 4-1 class, did much scouting around to find an orchestra suit- able for such an occasion as this. The favored man was Jack Demp- sey and his Boys, who made the evening a complete success. Cut-ups Study the Wide Open Spaces The Biology Club, sponsored by Mr. Hartzel and presided over by Harry Stevens, is thriving under heavy handicaps, the main ones being the lack of a Biology Room and the lack of apparatus. They have been meeting in the Chem- istry Room every Tuesday after- noon during the seventh period. Mr. Hartzell is trying to get permission to use the Biology Room once a week during the sev- enth period. The freshmen are all for Mr. Hartzellg in fact, they are willing to have such an arrange- ment effected five periods a week with Saturday and Sunday thrown in for good measure. The members of the club are going to take a hike through the woods to gather material, such as bugs and plants for their micro- scopic study. In spite of the handicaps, only four members have dropped out from the beginning enrollment of twelve. Let's hope the freshmen have their way, almost . Then everyone will be happy. To spend too much time? in studies is slothg to use them too much for ornament is affectationg to make judgment wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar. Journalism Attracts Interest at C. H. S. At the request of a large num- ber of students of the Clifton High School the English Department caused the formation of an elective course of Practical Journalism for 4-1 students. This course at the present is given as a substitute for the re- quired course of English 4-1. The present class consists of about twenty members, and holds its meetings during the third period in room 219, where it not only learns about the correct things to do in the composition of good journalistic writings, but takes an active part in the compo- sition of a large section of the Redector consisting of Club Pic- tures, School Snapshots, Club Write-ups, School News and Stu- dent Activities. It was largely responsible for the origin of the Student Forum which appears in this issue. The class also meets the other require- ments of the regular English 4-1 course. We the members of the First Journalism Class greatly appreci- ate the many opportunities it af- fords us and hope that it may grow, prosper, and afford many more pleasures and opportunities to its future members.

The boys have been getting their share of hits to sttpport their hurlers. Baillie. Lennon, and Stnagula are among the leading hitters on the team, and also in the Countv League. This is the lirst year that the team is in Charge of Coaeh limil Betluarttik, and he is doing an excellent job of building up a wine ning eombination in an attempt to put Clifton onee again into the scholastic limelight after several lean years.

Next we defeated Hawthorne, and followed this by winning our first league game. taking the league-leading Eastside Ghosts in tow by eight points. Out. of the next six games we won only one, beating Lyndhurst 26-21. They then regained their form and swamped Dover, lost a close one to Lyndhurst, and beat Paterson Central for their second league victory. ln the closing game the Varsity defeated our Faculty 34-26 in a highly interesting game. Our -Iayvee squad had a very successful season, losing only two games. both to the Passaici second team. , Captain Red Marchione led our team in scoring with l02 points in sixteen games, and .lim Mc:-Xlister. one of the best guards Clifton has had in a long time, was a close second with an even l00 points.

The Business field is responding to the general upward trend and is offering some brilliant prizes for those who are willing to strive for them. However, Modern Business is a very exacting profession . . . it demands education, preparation, thorough training and adaptability. With your High School education already completed, a comparatively few months would give you the training required for an Executive Secretarial position. Call while you have plenty of time, and consult one of our advisers. V' V DRAKE BUSINESS SCHOOL 196-198 JEFFERSON STREET PASSAIC, N. -I. Telephone, P,-Xssaic 8-0002 GEORGE WESTON LTD.
