LARSON, Representative 28 THE cooswant 0112155 Qiainrg Having been assigned the delightful task of writing the history of the famous class of 1914, I now take pen and paper to proceed. To tell the truth, I have borrowed a fountain pen from a dear friend of mine who owed me a nickel, so for that reason he could not refuse. Now, gentle readers, the following history is that of an eye-witness, who was one of the first of his class and-who is now the last. There was a very large class, when we first began, but all have not remained. One by one mem- bers of our class have dropped out. When the crowd gets together in any of the rooms and the talk turns back to a couple of years ago, the names of many a former classmate is mentioned with regret. Four long years ago on a pleasant morning, the writer started on his first trip to Cogswell I-Iigh. Clad in his first pair of long trousers, it seemed to him that he would make a great hit. As the car neared the school, he began to get smaller so that if he made a hit at all, it was likely to be on the floor of the car. Twenty-sixth Street, yelled the conductor, then our historian dismounted. So this is the school, well, here goes. So saying, the writer buttoned his coat and sort of breezed in. When he got into the school, he felt as though he were lost. Poor little scrub, five feet two, was surrounded by some intellectual giants, many of whom had been in the college at least six months. The poor little fellow felt lonely and tried to hide behind the umbrella rack but he was saved by an angel, Miss Padkin by name, who took him by the hand and escorted him to his first class-room. This promiscuous gathering of alfalfa was bad but there has been only one that was worse since then, and that was the '15 class. VVe were so green that when our first teacher asked a question and called upon Mr, Cate to answer, our friend Roland looked around to see where his father was. And the girls? Vlfell, say, if our girls want to know what they looked like when they first arrived in this school-aw, say, what's the use of rubbing it inn? In a few months the class thought that it would be a good idea to organize. Our first election was certainly an exciting one. There were sixty in the class and I regret to state that over one hundred votes were cast. At last, after a correct vote was taken, our first officers were installed. The next day the class officers put their hats on with a judicious use of their shoe horns. It is too bad to say that all cases of an enlarged cranium did not stop with the officers of the Freshman class. At last came the winter vacation, after which we were no longer lowly scrubs, but classed as 'fHigh Freshmen. Wheii we returned, we found around the school many hopeless cases. After calling in a couple of doctors for a consultation, we came to the conclu- sion that they were the member f tl l A fl with erasers. s o ie ower 4 class, so we welcomed them THE COC-:SWELL 29 The last part of our Freshman year was similar to the hrst part. just about that time Line Johnson won the first block in the '14 class. During that semester, several girls in our class won their blocks, but of them only one is left in school, and that is lrma l-lahrs. So the lfreshman year went by- some of the members succeeded in gaining positions on the teams, while others did not, but all knew a little more than when they entered. Next was our Sophomore year. A great year it was. W'hat our class had lost in numbers it made up for with vim. XYe began to take more interest in school lifeg in fact, it was during our Sophomore year that Joseph Pyne became so interested in school lite that for the first time he heard the nine o'clock bell ring-when he was only a block away. At last came a very important date. ln the spring of our Sophomore year we gave our dance. Yes, we gave a dance, one of the best dances ever held in the .-Xuditorium, where all the boys wore their Sunday best. The girls were certainly well prepared for the occasion. No thanks, ladies: I am engaged. It showed that the class was awake when it was able to aflord a dance and conduct it as smoothly as we did this one. Other classes might follow our lead. Next in rapid order came two other important events. One was the selec- tion of a class pin. After all sorts of pins had been examined we decided upon a neat little pin that attracted the eyes of many. Not that we mean to boast, but do you ever notice that the students who have been doing important things around the school are those who wear that pin? The other important event was the union of the lower and upper classes of l9l-l and the election of officers for that organization. Vacation had come and gone, bringing our Junior year. XYe all began to get important, Our girls by this time were doing great things. There was not a thing in the school affairs that the girls did not butt into, but they did it well. Of course, it is a notable fact that after they began to cook the janitor's cat died, but then cats are cheap and their heads make excellent shots for Little Pete to put. There were no real important dates in the junior year because everything ran so smoothly in school. After vacation we Hocked back to school for our last year-to be Seniors! But, oh, how few we were! Gone were some of our friends, but therrest were here to stay. In the autumn of the year we succeeded in giving a candy sale, but while it was a good one the proprietor of the drug store down at the corner reported that he had a good run on his store that day. Because of the interest taken by most of the class in getting a good foot- ball team, we were unable to hold any more social events for that term. With January, the big events arrived. First of all we presented a play, entitled The College Senior. Before the play was decided on, it was not thought that there was suffi- cient talent in the class to stage the affair, but as facts show only Seniors took part and made a Hhitl' with the large audience which was gathered for that occasion. The proceeds from that event showed that we were getting to be well off. Great credit is due to those who took part in the play and too much thanks cannot be extended to our instructors who so patiently coached 3Q THE COGSWELL them and gave them much kind assistance. After the play, music was fur- nished for dancing until almost midnight. Another very important event was the Senior Luncheonl' on April 22. The menu consisted of cake and ice cream. Every one was well pleased with the affair. There are two great events left, namely, our graduation exercises and our Senior ball. The first one is the one in which we walk up and sit down on the platform before the gazing eyes of our relatives and friends. The nrst speaker will tell us how sorry the school is to lose us. The next speaker will tell us how much we should know and what we should do in our later life. After that we shall hear our names called, including our middle ones, and, amid great applause, we shall receive the prize we have struggled for during four long years. The following Friday night we will be hosts at our Senior ball. Gn that night the boys will wear their best full dress suits Crentedj, hire taxis, and escort their best girls to the building and enjoy themselves the whole evening as only graduates can. Wlien the last dance is over-when the last bit of music has floated away- when the last good luck and good-by has been said-then our happy high school days at Cogswell will be a thing of the past.

After three years of education in every phase of high school life, the juniors are well fitted to take up the responsibility of Senior life. Always ready to uphold the fair name of Cogswell and the Fair numeral, 1915, our class is confident of success. Seniors, just a word in farewell. Strong in number, ever active in school affairs, always loyal in spirit, yours is, indeed, a class of which to be proud. Wfhen, after four years of faithful work, you pass from Cogswell's doors, graduates, you carry with you the best wishes of the Class of 1915. Through the efficiency of its officers and the co-operation of the class, the '15 class has enjoyed three years of prosperity. The officers elected at the beginning of the fall semester were: Meredith Lewis, Presidentg James Wiiiston, Vice-President, Ella Gumni, Secretary, Margaret Hansen, Treas- urer, Robert Eschen, Sergeant-at-Arms, and Thelma Raspadore and Edward McDonald, Representatives. W7hen their time expired the following stu- dents were elected: Edward McDonald, President, Elmer Forsyth, Vice- Presidentg Sophie Trost, Secretary, Henry Roberts, Treasurer, Ivan Bean, Sergeant-at-Arms, and Frances Vlfagner and Mervin Gunzendorfer, Repre- sentatives. A committee has been appointed to have charge of a social affair to be given before vacation. The members of this committee are Gladys Schulte, Sophie Trost, Minna Toloski, Edward McDonald, Ernest Bridgett, Stuart Johnson and Herman Hauser. The Exposition girls have always taken a lively interest in school and class activities. Almost every girl is an adept at some sport. Tennis, in particular, has many loyal followers. As no tennis interclass has been held this term, Frances VVagner and Sophie Trost are the acknowledged tennis champions, having won their block numerals in the last interclass. THE COGSWELL 39 Margaret Hansen and Dorothy Gardner are guards on the school basket- ball team. Frieda Loewe occupies the position ol' pianist in the school orchestra and is always on the program at the girls' socials. Ernest llridgett. Charles leliden and Dorothy Gardner represent the '15 class on 'THE Corsswlzm. staff. The Exposition boys have had a successful year in athletics. The swimming team ol the '15 class won the last interclass swim- ming meet. He took lour first places, which totaled twenty points. They were second with nineteen points. If more than one of our aspirants had shown up we would have won by a much greater number ol points. The swimming Hteaml' is llachtold. 111 the basketball interclass we did not fare so well, but we did not disgrace ourselves. 'l'he '16 class defeated us by the score of 52 to -l3. At the end of the lirst half we were in the lead by three points. The score then stood 21 to 18. The team was composed ol' Trachsler, llrown, Bach- told, Roberts and McDonald. The '15 class track team one ol the best balanced track teams in the school, but in the interclass track meet last spring, as several of our stars failed to show up, we had to be satisfied with second place. Owing to the fact that we of the .lunior class are all grown up, we had no 100 pound entries. In the 120 pound class Yolosing was invincible, taking first place in all three events. Gunzendorfer was the heaviest point winner for the class. I-Ie took First in the 220 and broad jump. and second in the 50 and 100. Thompson Won the high jump and took second in the broad. Roberts and Morris were our star weight throwers. The relay race was the most exciting race of the day. We had the lead until the last lap, in which f'Big Pete' overtook f'Beaut 1Vallace. who was running in his civilian clothes and did not have any spikes. The team was composed of Thomp- son, Hauser, McDonald and Vlfallace.

' GFJIG We, the class of 1916, are about to leave behind us our Sophomore year and step into our junior year. As we look back upon two delightful years spent at Cogswell, we feel that we owe part of our great success to the upper classmen, especially to the Seniors, whose good example we always endeavor to follow. During the term when we were low Sophs, we held a class picnic at Muir Woods, and those of the class who went certainly enjoyed the day's outing. The following term, the upper and lower classes combined their organiza- tions and the following officers were elected: Ray McElligot, president, Pearl Hein, vice-president, jean Miller, secretary, Carl Olsen, treasurer, Fannie Whitaker and Thomas Fowler, representatives to the Student Body. The girls of the 1916 class have done a great deal to promote the tennis and basketball teams of the school. Owing to the poor tennis courts, there has been a lack of practice this year, but with the opening of the new courts, we expect strong competition among the various classes. We have a good basketball team, and expect to prove this to the best of our ability when we play for the interclass championship. The team is well represented by Elizabeth Fisher, Fannie Whitaker, Alline McCord, Adele Lemoine and Evelyn McGillicuddy. The boys of the class are not to be ignored when it comes to talk about school activities, for they certainly uphold the record of the class by being well represented in track, basketball, swimming, baseball and football. , They started the term by making a great victory in the cross-country run, six out of the first eight men to enter being Sophs. These were Clarence Fuqua, Ralph Glennon, Thomas Fowler, Victor Baloun, jack Barkley and Beaumont McLaren. THE COGSWELL 41 The class basketball team is a eontencler for hrst place honors in the annual interclass series. They cleleatecl the '15 class team by a score of 53 to 32. They are now reacly to play the '1-1 class for the championship. The team consists of Arthur lfurclerer, Spiro Manclieh, Carl Olsen, Thomas Fowler, john Torre and S. Soroeeo. Swimming was well supported this term by the '16 class, and by the efforts of our representatives we managed to secure seeoncl place. As yet baseball has not eommeneecl, but we are proucl to say that five out of the nine men to play will be from the 'lti class. lfrom all appearances the '16 class boys are bouncl to come out gnocl ancl strong for football practice and a number have great hope ot being' seleetecl for the school team for the coming term. 1Vho says our boys are lacking in school anrl elass spirit? At the class meetings ol late there has been a great rleal of interest aroused at the prospect of having' our class pins. .X committee has been appointed ancl is doing its best to get a pin that will rival all others of the school.

After two months ot much discussion, a constitution was drawn up and the class was finally organized. A merry battle ensued for the positions of officers of the class. The following were the successful candidates: XfVilliam Herbstritt, presidentg Corinne Forrest, vice-presidentg Grace Iversen, treasurerg Thelma Don, secretaryg Rudolph Pope, sergeant-at-armsg and George Tracy, representative to the Student Body. 1 During the first term that this class attended Cogswell, the Associated Girl Students royally entertained the girls at a reception in their honor. This was a time never to be forgotten in the Freshman life of this class. The '17 class is proud of the fact that some of the Freshmen were able to join the orchestra-a tact which is still highly appreciated. There are also many other musical students of this class who are not in the orchestra but who help at other times. At the first regular meeting, class captains were elected for basketball, football, swimming and track. The boys showed their class spirit by entering into all the interclass con- tests and many tried to make the school team. Guido Pera distinguished himself by winning his block C during the first six months of his stay at Cogswell. Several boys won their class numerals in swimming and track events At the beginning of the new term, a meeting was held and the following 6 officers were elected: VValter 1-Ioll, president: Cade Sparks, vice-presidentg Rudolph Pope, treasurerg Opal Dalbey, secretary: Jacob Cordsen, sergeant-at armsg Hazel Sweeney, 'representative to the Student Body. The girls of the class have not, as yet, taken much interest in the girls' tll ' 3 1 etlcs of the 5Cl'1001, but they are gradually beginning to do so. THE COGSWELL 43 During the second term, the class basketball team had to acknowledge the superiority of the mighty Seniors, but put up a better game than was expected. A special meeting was called by the president on March 12, l9l-l, for the purpose of planning a picnic at Muir X'Voods. The picnic was held later. Much fun was had and, as Mr. lfiliss said, Much was learned in Physics. Five months ago we. a baud of would-be Cogswellites, came to the Cogswell Polytechnical College, each holding in his left hand a diploma, and in his right the mighty pen, an emblem of future learning. After being assigned to our respective classrooms we were ready to start on the hi-st lap of our high school career as the December class of nineteen hundred and seventeen. The following month tlfebruaryl the class constitution was drawn up and the oliicers were elected to take charge of the aHiairs of the class until June. They were: President, -lohn Nordstant: Yice-l'resident. Wiilliam Irvine: Sec- retary, XVilliard Sullivan: Treasurer, -loel Marston: Sergeant-at-.-Xrms, lrlarold Andersong Representative, lrlerbert Daly. Then followed a period of great complexities which tested our reasoning abilities to the uttermost. XVe were initiated into the mysteries of algebra, physics, English and ancient history. Besides these subjects, the girls were taught sewing, and at the beginning of the second quarter several were ready to start on their applied sewing. The girls also studied freehand drawing, while the boys took up mechanical drawing. Among the girls basket ball seems to be the favorite game. In several instances the boys have made a good showing in athletics. ln the interclass swimming meet held at the Lurline Baths in February, Elmer Hansen succeeded in winning his numerals by swimming second in the 50 and 75 yard dashes. He also took the twelfth place in the recent cross-country run. Herbert Daly, the 100 pound sprinter, took second places in the 50 and 220 yard dashes and in the broad jump. thereby winning his numerals, The boys' basket-ball team has contested some good games with the High Freshmen and have shown them that they could play better than the High Freshmen realized. In baseball the boys have not organized a team. although they have some good niaterial, and it is thought that they will do so in the near future. The class went for an outing on April 18th to Muir Wfoods and enjoyed a pleasant day. With the term drawing to a close, most of us expect to find ourselves High Freshmen next term, in spite of the difficulties we encountered in our first term. ' .

Thar she be, said an elderly man as he left a group of men to rush toward the fashionably dressed young girl who had just left the train and was approaching him, smiling. Daddy, dearest daddy, she cried as she embraced him. XVal, wal, Margie, yer the same little gal thet left me a year ago, only yer, a heap prettier with them new clothes on. 'Tm so glad you like them. daddy, she said as they approached an old-fashioned wagon with a group of curious looking men standing around it. The curious looking men were all cowboys and were as awkward as can be imagined trying to welcome Margie home after a long year's absence. However, after they had exchanged commonplaces with her and had also learned that she had liked New York very much, Margie expressed the desire to hurry home as she was very anxious to see her pet, Dandy, a beautiful Indian pony that her father had given her for her sixteenth birthday. XVith Margie's trunk fastened in the back of the wagon and her valise at her feet. the two started toward home. lVhile they rode silently over the familiar road it seemed to Margie as if she had only been away from this wild country, which she called home, a few weeks. All the days that she had been homesick and had longed for the open country, her father and Dandy, were forgotten now. She felt free to do as she pleased, for there were no strict boarding school teachers ready to scold her here. Ch, how good it was to be back home with her father again ! Now as they neared home the shadows began to lengthen and the horse, as if wishing to have them home before dark, quickened his pace As he quiclcened his pace Margies spirits livened and she planned to get up very early the next morning and take a long ride with Dandy. At last they approached their gate and Margie drove through while her father held it open. She had only driven a little way up the road to the stable when who Wasithere-right in the middle of the road, looking to see who was coming-but her 'dear old Dandy! Margie jumped out of the wagon, ran up to him, hugged him and petted him and said over and over again: 'fDandy, Dandy, oh, it feels so good to see you again! You remember me, donlt you, old boy ? In her excitement she almost forgot to give him the sugar she had put in her handbag especi- ally for him. I V V I After her father had unhitched Andy, and Margie and Dandy had looked the place over from the outside, Margie and her father entered the little house which was their home. A V A 45 THE' COGSWELL Everything in the house seemed almost as she had left it a year ago, only when she cut the bread for dinner she noticed that her father had bought a new bread knife. After dinner Margie and her father sat on the narrow porch in front of their little house to watch the moon rise above Scraggy Mountain. Mr. Lane sat in his big armchair while Margie was perched on one of the arms. They sat silently for a long time, although Mr. Lane took his pipe out of his mouth as if to say something several times, but he always put it back again without uttering a syllable. Margie, who had watched him for some time, became curious, so she asked: I-Iave you something to tell me, Daddy ? lNal, said her father, stopping to take another puff at his pipe, ter tell the truth, daughter, I hevg but the trouble is I don't know how ter say it. 'fls it something nice, Daddyiv' Hlhfal, I should say it is.', lN7ell, then, please start right in and tell me all about it. lNal,', said the old man, puffing again and turning slightly in his chair, diye remember John Thompson, the man that lived about two miles up the Gak Road in that big red house?', The man whom the boys used to call 'Governorf and who always dressed in black? 'Ilhat's him. Oh, yes, I remember him. I-Ie used to spend his time writing stories, didn't he? Yes I f'But I thought that he had left this part of the country in order to go somewhere else to sell his stories. USO he did, but he come back th' other day to his ol' house again an' he come in to see me, too. VVhat did he have to say? asked Margie, becoming interested. lNal, it seems that he's sold his stories or poems, as he calls 'em now, out in California and he's made a heap o' money by 'em. Yes, said Margie, what else did he have to say? Now I'm a comin' to the point, daughter, replied Mr. Lane as he shook the ashes out of his pipe. Seem, as he's made so much money a sellin' his poems he wants to move away from here and go to California to live, so he wanted to know if I didn't want to buy his house. XNhat? I-Ie wanted you to buy that fine big red house out on the Qak Road? W7ouldn't it be wonderful to live there! Vlfhat did you tell him, Daddy?,' Margie asked all these questions with one breath, while all kinds of plans for a new home were running through her head. h I told him that I'd have to talk it over with you before I could tell him anything for sure. THE coGswELL 47 But don't you think it would be lovely to live in that line big house? Dandy and Andy would like the hue big stable, l'm sure. Then we could have chickens and pigs and perhaps a lamb or two, couldn't we, Daddy, dear? asked Margie, patting her father's cheek as she always did when she wanted anything very much. That'll all be very line, daughterq but d'ye think yer know enough 'bout housework to take care o' that big house all by yerselI? Now for the first time Margies enthusiasm lagged. She hadn't thought of that. She sat still for a long time as if in deep thought, then she sud- denly brightened. I have an idea, Daddy, she burst out. XYhen I go back to school next year I'll make a special study of housekeeping, and when I come back I'll know all about it. 'llhen we can go right to the new house and every- thing will be Finefi All right, daughter. l'm willin' to have it that way if you are: but do ye think ye can learn that at school? lYhy to be sure I can. Lots of married women take special lessons at school. Very good, then. Then you really mean to buy that big house for the two of us to live in? lYon't that be fine! You will let nie have some chickens and pigs to take care of, won't you, Daddy? asked Margie. patting his cheek again. lYell, we'll see about those things later, said her father, very much amused by her chatter. Thompson's comin' back to-morrow to see about it, an' I suppose we'll be able to make an agreement that'll suit us both. USO we're really going to live in that Fine big house! It seems almost impossible, doesn't it?' asked Margie, dreamily. That's what it does. But it's the truth just the same, replied Mr. Lane with a smile. After they had been sitting silently and dreaming about their new home for some time, Mr. Lane suggested that they go to bed, for Margie must be tired from her long journey and he had to be in the corral early the next morning. Margie decided that the suggestion was a good one, so after saying Good night to each other they went to their own rooms and were soon fast asleep. About 7 o'eloek the next morning, after she had said Good-by to her father, and after she had performed her household duties, Margie Lane, dressed in a becoming tan riding suit and with a felt cowboy hat upon her head, started out for a long ride on her Indian pony, Dandy. After they had gallopecl along the road for some time, Margie decided to turn up Oak Road and look at the big house that was to be her own before very long, so she turned her' pony's head in that direction. Wfhen they arrived at the house. Margie thought she would like very much to enter the gate and peep through the shutters and look into the 43 THE COGSWELL stable and chicken house. Accordingly she jumped off of Dandy and led him through the gate. She was not afraid of meeting anyone because her father had told her that Mr. Thompson had gone to Cheyenne on business and would not be back until that afternoon. As soon as she had closed the gate, Margie let Dandy wander about at his pleasure while she tried to peep through the shutters of the house. Finding that she could see nothing of the interior she walked around the building several times admiring the outside. There was really nothing much to admire about it, as it was no more than an ordinary farmhouse, such as one can see in any country town, but to the inhabitants of Cow Hollow it seemed a mansion. Now, thought Margie, as she had finished admiring the house for the time being, fill go and look at the rest of the place. The rest of the place consisted of a stable, a large chicken house and another rough building which Margie intended to use for the pigs and sheep she was going to have. To her utter disgust Margie found all of these buildings securely locked, so she walked around them and peeped through the knotholes and cracks of their walls. just as she was peeping through a knothole of the chicken house she heard a peculiar hissing sound, followed by a few soft thuds, and then she heard the hiss again. Margie usually was not easily frightened, but having been away for so long seemed to have made her timid and she was aware of the fact that she was trembling with fear. She was sure there could be no one around. She turned to look at the house. There it stood staring at her, making her feel all the more alone. There must be spirits here! This house must be haunted! Vlfhat shall I do? Wfhat shall I do P and Margie leaned against the building, weak with fear. Then, as Dandy appeared from behind the chicken house she seemed to have regained some of her strength, for she grabbed his bridle and led the astonished horse hurriedly through the back gate, fearing to go by the front of the house so closely again. Hurry, Dandy! VV'hat makes you so slow? Don't you know this house is haunted? Thus did Margie speak to Dandy as she pulled him through the gate, and, when she was in the saddle again, she cried: Hurry, Dandy! lNhat makes you so slow? Run as fast as you can, old boyf! Dandy, who was one of the fastest ponies in Cow Hollow, seemed to want to uphold his reputation, for he brought his mistress home in record- breaking time. Because the cows had not been brought down from Bulkhead, Mr. Lane had already returned home for the day. He was just entering the gate when he saw Margie and Dandy galloping down the road at a terrible speed. As she came very close to him he could see that something was wrong, So he ran toward her. She hardly waited for Dandy to come tosa stop when she jumped off and ran to her father, crying hysterically: Daddy, that THE eoosWELL 49 house is haunted! Haunted, l say! We can't live there. Well stay here in this little old shack. XYl1y we'll be killed if we go there to live! For goodness sake, daughter, don't take on so. ll don't know what you're talking about. Come here and tell me your trouble, and her dum- founded father led her to the porch. After Margie had told her story in tits and starts, her father sat silent for awhile with a puzzled expression on his face, when suddenly he re- marked: You say you heard a hissing sound, followed by some light thirds? Yes, replied Margie. lt sounded like-well-I can hardly explain it, but it sounded like a horses sneeze. VA horse's sneeze! said Mr. Lane, wrinkling' his forehead. .-Xnd where was Dandy all this time? 'lVhy, I don't know: but he just came around fl'o1t'i in back of the chicken house when- Why. Daddy l and here Margie became hysterical with laughter, what a fool l've been! 'llhat hissing sound, followed by those thuds, was only my poor innocent Dandy sniliing' around the back of the chicken house! Irma li.XIlRS. 'l-l. 1 he Snrivtg Burglar 'Here is a telegram for you, -lack. :Xt this moment Bud, the office boy, hurled the sealed envelope on top of the desk. Confound you, Bud. llihy don't you look what you're doing? lkfith these words, Jack angrily tossed the telegram to one side and prepared to remove the ink-stains from the report sheet. It was three o'clock in the afternoon. ,lack Riley, bookkeeper for Reckfall Bros., was busy balancing up the days reports. His coat was off, his sleeves rolled up, and a large cowboy hat was tilted on the back of his head. His arms and face were severely tanned, and he looked as though he had lived in the tropics all his life. He was an extremely good looking young fellow, with soft, affectionate eyes, and a mouth which would curve into the most winning of smiles. XtVith a bang he closed the ledger, put things in order, and then swung around in his swivel chair until he faced the open window. He lazily put his feet on a near-by table, filled his .rose colored meerschaum pipe, and read several short stories from a monthly magazine. By this time, it was four thirty and lack, after glancing at the Big Ben which stood on his desk, grabbed his hat and coat and dashed for the door. Then he wheeled suddenly and snatched' the hereto- fore forgotten telegram off the desk and fairly flew down the street. He opened the telegram while he was running, and, as he read, he slackened 50 THE COGSWELL the Governor want of him? his pace until he stopped entirely. Wfhat did That was the question that puzzled jack's mind as he hastened to catch the five two for New York. I The ride took just an hour, and jack found himself in the heart of New York. He jumped into a taxi and drove to the Leland Club where he was to dine with the governor. I-Ie waited several moments in the lobby, and then a grey-headed gentleman walked toward him with out- stretched hand. He was dressed in taultless style and had a most polished air about him. He was rather bald, rather red, and, though a handsome, well-made man, too stern and pompous in appearance to be prepossessing. f'XNe11, jack my boy, it is indeed a pleasure to see you. But you're looking thin. Wforking hard, I suppose ? UNO. About the same as usual. You look troubled, jack. You're wondering why I sent for you. VVell, letls go down and get a bite to eat first and then-prepare yourself for the worstf' and the governor laughed heartily. They finished a simple dinner, and sat at the table enjoying an after dinner cigar. At last the governor broke silence by saying, jack, are you still in love with Eleanor? A As jack merely blushed and did not answer, the governor continued, You don't see so much of her since you have been working out of town, do you ? No, I donlt, but you see- I-Iow would you like to work under me, jack? I should like nothing better, governor, but what could I do? jack, no doubt you have read of all these burglaries in New York ? Yes . W7ell, they must stop, and the governor emphasized this by bringing his hand down on the table with a bang. Nine burglaries inside of a month is surely a record. The police are baffled, and something must be done. Last night we gave a party and during the frivolity we were robbed oi two thousand dollars' worth of jewelry. I was talking to your god-father this morning and he told me you were the boy who could bring this man to justice. I'll pay you three hundred dollars a month, and if you get the thief you'll receive the reward of fifty thousand dollars offered by the Metropolitan Insurance Company. jack hesitated only a moment. He did not see why he shouldn't accept the offer, as it was a hundred and fifty dollars increase per month. Eleanor would surely be pleased, and he could marry her sooner for her father would not permit the marriage on a hundred and fifty a month. He would be pleasing the governor, the best friend he had had in the world since his father's death. f'Governor, I'll accept. ' The governor grasped his outstretched hand. God bless you. i UHGOOCI-by, governor. Iill do all in my power to bring that man to justice. No! Not even 'Eleanor shall stand in my way. Xkfith these words, he hurried out of the room. THE COGSWELL Sl -lack could hardly wait until the nest evening arrived. lle was to call on .Eleanor and tell her of his new project. .Ns he walked down the street, he wondered what she would say. l.'erhaps she would object, and then what? No! He was going through with it no matter what happened. He walked up some marble steps, tixing his tie and smoothing his hair as he ascended. lt was Inv' house. lle rang the bell. and was ushered by a neatly dressed maid, into a beautifully furnished room. For its vast size it was very homelike, with quantities ol bookcases anrl comfortable chairs. l-le found Eleanor cudclled up on a lounge of gold and satin. She had large blue eyes, a lair complexion and a small mouth, inside of which set perfect teeth. She wore a light conlection nl a house gown of some astonishingly attractive hue, and around her neck hung a magnificent chain of sapphires. She had been writing addresses, and the lingers she gave into his were smudged with ink. ,lack put her hand to his lips and laugliecl as he kissed the ink stains. She put her arms around his neck and locked lovingly into his manly lace. He was at home. 'Tm so glad to see you, lack. -lust think, it's been nearly a week since you'ye been here. It seems like a month to me. How do you like my new dress? she asked as she released herself from him and paraded the room. You look adorable in it, Eleanor. 'Tm so glad you like it. Father sent it to me from Paris. Eleanor, my dear, I have something' very important to tell you. l have a new positionf, lYhat? Oh lack! You were getting along so nicely, and I had hopes we could- Get married? he ventured. 'Yes-but now? lYhat are you going to do? 1 I am a detective working for the government, and am getting three hundred dollars a month. Eleanor's heart beat rapidly. Her 'lack a detective! Detectives always got killed. Oh, -lack, she cried pleadingly. You won't do it, will you? But it is- Say that you won't. Promise me. If you love me, don't undertake this unsafe adventure,'l and she nestled close to him. Eleanor, my dear, you don't understand. The police have been baffled by this man. He has stolen over half a million dollars in jewelry inside of three months. This must stop, and the governor has besto.wed the honor of finding the thief upon me. just think of that, dearielw It's all very nice, but I'd rather you wouldntt do it. Wl1y do you know that the night before last while the governor was having a party he was robbed of two thousand dollars' worth of jewelry. And the strange part of it was that the house was surrounded with police- men who never even saw a man either enter or come out. 7 How strange? 52 THE COGSVVELL Yes, it is. But I believe it was the Society Burglar who- The Society Burglar? she gasped, and fell back on the lounge. jack took her in his arms. She was trembling from head to foot. IWhat is the matter, dear? K'Oh, jack, Iim so frightened! Did I ever tell you about him F UNO. VVell, about three years ago, just after my brother left for the Vlfest, we were robbed. INhy didn't you tell me. Uh, I couldnt Wfell, the man got in some way, although there were no windows broken or marred and all the doors were locked. He was in full dress and wore a black mask. I-Ie entered my room through the porch doors and lit the light. He seemed to know where everything was. I awoke and started to scream, but he gagged me before I could make any one hear me. I-Ie helped himself to my jewelry, tipped his silk hat as he went and left me there helpless. I remained so until the next morning, when Anne came in with my breakfast. The police could not find the slightest clew. I've always wished to get even with him. jack, I've changed my mind. I do want you to go, but be careful. I hate him for what he did and I'd like nothing better than to have him brought to justice, especially by youf, I'll do it, jack said, rising from the lounge. I know you will. But don't waste any time. Start in now. The day you capture the Society Burglar I will become your wife. Do you mean that? and jack took her in his arms. A He did not wait for an answer. He could tell by her eyes that she was sincere. I-Ie gave her a tight squeeze, pressed his lips to hers and quickly left the room. He now was determined. He was not only working for justice, honor and money, but for the hand of the girl whom he worshiped. A week had elapsed. jack was disheartened. He sat in his comfort- able armchair with bent head trying to think of a clew to help him unravel the mystery about the burglaries. I-Ie had accomplished little during the week. He was sure that some guest was the thief since all the thefts had been committed on the night that a large party was being held. Society had surely taken in some untempered steel. If he could only manage to be at one of the parties without being suspected. But how could he do so? He was not well enough acquainted to be invited and it would spoil every- thing to Ubutti' in because he would be suspected. Hundreds of suggestions entered his mind, but he had a strong argument against all of them. Thus he sat all day long thinking, thinking, thinking, but to no avail. He would not give up. He wanted to make good and, above all, he wanted Eleanor. A slight ,noise came from behind him. He did not move. Then suddenly he jumpedvup .and drew his automatic. He calmly slipped the revolver back in his belt and smiledfor the first time that day. Instead of looking into the eyes of a sneak thief he was looking into the eyes of a beautiful girl's portrait which had been printed on a piece of sheet music. The music lay on the floor. It had been blown down from the piano by THE COGSWELL 53 the breeze coming through the open window. He stooped to pick it up, but as his lingers were about to seize it he hesitated. Then he jumped up, skipped around the room with his hands in his pockets and whistled a merry little tune. At last he shouted, I've got it at last! Ray! Ray! Ray! Now I can work. Gee, l've been a boob not to think of that before. Here I've been playing the piano all week and the idea never entered 1ny head. His plan was to hire out as an entertainer. He was a wonderful pianist, especially in the playing of ragtime. ,llc would play lor the dances and in that way gain entrance to the houses without creating the least suspicion. He could observe thinfrs closelv and detect auv little thine' that miffht UO wrong. 5 H f 6 b b He grabbed his hat and cane and banged the door behind him. In an hour he was back. lle had obtained the chance he wanted, He was going to play dance music at Mrs. XYestl1all's party the following Friday evening. It was arranged that another pianist should play classical music between dances. This would give .lack an opportunity lu make observations during the intermissions. Friday night came. .lack armed himself and hastened to Mrs. NVest- hall's. He was rather early and none ol the guests had arrived. He man- aged to get one of the servants to take him around the house, saying that its antiquity and richness had made him very curious to see it. He observed everything very closely and felt sure that he would be able to prowl around without getting lost. By this time the guests had arrived and the dance began. The evening progressed and everything went on smoothly. About ll :3O, just after lack had rendered a most popular rag, Lord Norfolk. one ol the most distin- guished guests, walked over toward the piano with his partner, Miss Mears. He was extremely warm and pulled out a handkerchief from the rear pocket of his trousers to mop his brow. .-Xs he did so he unconsciously lifted a piece of chamois just above the pocket. lt was invisible to the unsuspect- ing, but j'ack's alert eye noticed it. He did not give it a second glance, but turned slightly so as not to create the slightest suspicion. XVill you excuse me, Miss Mears, for a few momentsi saic Lore Norfolk politely. 'Tve danced so much I have a terrible headache, and I think if I could lie down for a few moments the pain would be greatly alleviated. Certainly, but don't be long. You have the one after the next with at i 1 me. Lord Norfolk had already gained the staircase and, taking two steps at a time, he reached the second floor. jack wanted to follow him, but he couldn't-he had to play. He shortened the next da11ce considerably and then sauntered out of the room in the most unconcerned manner. Vtfhen he came to the second floor he listened closely. For several minutes he could hear nothing and then suddenly he heard a slight click as if the cover of a watch had been closed. The sound came from an adjoining room and lack hastened quietly to the door and peeped through the keyhole. Wfithin he saw Lord Norfolk stooping to pick up a small wrist Watch from the floor. 54 THE COGSWELL On the dresser lay the chamois bag, and beside this several rings andlbrace- lets. jack backed away and then made quite a little noise as if coming up the stairs. He knocked on the door and in a minute or so Lord Norfolk opened the door, yawning. . f'VVhat do you want? he said. You woke me up. My head, how it aches ! Throw up your hands ! cried jack, and he drew his automatic from his Pocket. Lord Norfolk obeyed, but as he threw them up he managed to knock his own revolver from his pocket so that it fell on the Hoor beside his feet. He stooped to pick it up, but Jack halted him by saying, Let that be- Keep your hands up. I'll tend to that, and jack made a quick grab for the pistol. Here was the lord's only chance. Like a flash he sent a powerful left into Jack's jaw and made a quick getaway. The blow only stunned Jack for a moment. He rose, snatched his gun and, half staggering, ran after the fugitive. There were a number of cars outside, one of which had kept the engine running all evening. It was a big Stutz and built especially for racing. Lord Norfolk made a dash for the car and in a minute was traveling sixty miles per hour down the wet street. Jack just reached the pavement in time to see Norfolk make his getaway. He glanced quickly over the remaining cars and noticed a Mercer runabout at the end of the line. At the point of a gun the chauffeur drove furiously after the Stutz. They swerved from side to side, skidded around corners and hit all the high spots in the road. The cutout on the Mercer was open, the exhaust roared and roared through the pipe. They were gaining. Only two blocks separated the two cars. As the Stutz was nearing Broadway it skidded half a turn and then hit the curbing of the sidewalk. There was a terrible crash and the spokes of the rear wheel were demolished. The driver was unable to move the car, and, as jack was but half a block behind, Lord Norfolk ran down the street and dodged into a beautiful house. jack was paralyzed. It was the house of Eleanor Forbes! Eleanor Forbes was about to retire. She had turned out all the lights in the living room and had reached the staircase when she saw the figure of a man with bent head coming toward her. She tried to scream, but she icouldn't. She felt as if she were being choked. At last she stammered, VVhat do you want? VVho are you ?,' Sister! Eleanor! She took one look at him and then she fell in a half stupor. Her brother took her in his arms and whispered, Save me! Save me! H631-P The bell is 1'iI1g'iHg'! Listen! some one is pounding on the door! Eleanor recovered her self-possession and released herself from him. You.? You? That's what you are, is it, when we thought you were working in the Vlfest? You'cl better go. Oh, don't, for God's sake, don't! Haven't you any feeling for me. Y . Cant you hea1 them pounding on the door? Hide me ggmewlqeye and fell them no one came heref' VVhat have you been doing?

Eleanor. where did he go? My, how pale you look. He must have frightened you, but we'll get him. Perhaps he is in there, and -lack moved toward the room where Lord Norfolk was hiding. Eleanor, trying to act calm and unconcerned, said: Hxxvllilll is the matter with you, -Tack? XX'hat are you looking for? lYhy-er-haven't you seen him? The burglar? The Society Burglar ! IYhy, of course not, and she laughed merrily. But he came in here not more than live minutes ago, and I've been trying to get in ever since. Yes, I notice that the door is broken, and I think you have a nerve breaking into my house at such an hour looking for a burglar. But I thought-I- You didn't see any one come here. No one has been heref, .Tack started down the stairs. I-Ie wheeled suddenly and yelled: XYho is in that room ?

CARLETON BRYAN, 'l4. il 4 211 er 1511111 Glzmfmr Ihr Glhinga Zflhat Arr Glzizaarli' UI contend that position amounts to everything, whether it is in a game of billiards, sailing a ship or being a herof' I looked up to discover the reason of the rather sudden announcement of this philosophy on the part of my uncle, otherwise known as Captain R. F. Harding, formerly with the Inter-Oceanic Steamship Company, but now retired. Discovering him in the act of clipping the end of one of his choice I-Iavanas, I calmly laid aside my book and proceeded to make myself com- fortable during the story which I knew was forthcoming. 'fD1d I ever tell you about the heroism of First Officer Campbell of the Neptune? asked my uncle. As a matter of routine I answered negatively. IfVell, I'll tell you about it. You may think that it should be stated differently. If you do, just set it equal to my first statement and you will have a perfectly balanced equation. if -S l Q . . A few yeais before you were born I was in command of the Good ship 1 . 6 Neptune, which plied between San Francisco and the Orient In those days she was one of the largest and finest steam vessels afloat. She was equipped with watertight bulkheads and many other improvements, which most vessels didnot have at that time. Naturally, I was very proud of my THE cooswELL 57 command. I had made several trips with her and had experienced no inci- dents more exciting than the happenings that usually occur. g On my fifth voyage, in addition to the usual shipments of silk, tea, etc., I was consigned a shipment of Chinese pyrotechnics. I had always had a dislike of shipments of explosives, but a captain cannot choose his cargo, so I reluctantly accepted the consignment and set sail for San Fran- cisco with none too light a heart. Everything went well until the fifth day out. 'lfhen things com- menced to happen, and quickly at that. .-X typhoon broke upon us. llefore everything could be made ship- shape halt of the cargo was shifted out of place. 'l'heu the ship refused to steer right, because of a decided list to the starboard. While the boatswain was restoring the cargo a crate slipped and broke his leg. The ship pitched about so much that some of the Chinese crew mutinied because they were afraid of the shifting cargo. Some of the plates on the starboard were sprung and all the pumps had to be run full force to keep the ship out of danger. The crew was left short-handed after the mutineers were put in irons and the oliicers had to do double duty. The Neptune was a good ship, otherwise she would never have weath- ered, that storm, but finally the waves subsided and gave us an opportunity to recover. IVe must have been a nautical joke. All of the rigging was gone and the ship listed more than is considered proper for a self-respecting vessel. On the whole I think the ship looked more like a derelict than the Neptune which had left I-Iongkong. After seeing that everything was in good running order, I lay down to get a few hours' rest-the first in over sixty hours. I had just gone to sleep when a steward came to my cabin and said that the first officer desired my presence on deck. I went on deck to see what could be the cause of my being disturbed. As I stepped on deck I saw a sight that for a second made my heart stop beating-from one of the hatches a thin spiral of smoke was issuing, I then knew that I had to battle against that which nautical men fear so much-a tire at sea. 0fHcer Campbell came forward to make his report: 'Fire has been discovered in coal bunker No. 7, sir. I have ordered all hatches closed and water is being played on bunker No. 9, so as to prevent the fire from spreading. I-Iave you any further commands, sir? I ordered him to take command and to call a hre drill to instruct the crew in case the condition of the tire should become dangerous and to keep me informed as to the condition of affairs. An hour later Officer Campbell reported that the intake valve of the high pressure pumps had been clogged, thus rendering our fire apparatus useless. I commanded him to see that the damage was repaired as quickly as possible and in the meantime to make the hold airtight. A few minutes later the chief engineer reported that it would take at least twelve hours to repair the pump. Then I knew that my ship was in serious danger. When I' went on deck I found that the ire had gained so much strength 58 THE COGSWELL that the heat could be felt through my shoes when T walked across the deck in the vicinity of the burning coal bunkers. T then ordered the bulk- heads closed and the bunkers Hooded. Wfithin five minutes Officer Camp- bell returned with the report that the cargo had been so poorly stowed away that some of the bulkheads were blockaded and could not be closed. That made the situation more complicated, because the shipment of explo- sives was next to bunker No. 9 and the fire had already spread to the latter bunker. 'With the bulkhead closed the seacocks to the bunkers could be opened and thus the fire could be drowned out. Officer Campbell and his men worked bravely and succeeded in closing all the bulkheads 'except one, but the indicator in the pilot house showed that the remaining bulkhead was the one which separated the burning bunkers and the part of the cargo which consisted chiefly of explosives. That one bulkhead had to be closed or all would be lost, for if once the fire got to the explosives it would simply destroy the ship. Officer Campbell declared that there was nothing to do but abandon the ship, because no man could close the open bulkhead and survive. I had almost decided to accept that view when T noticed a young seaman waiting to speak to me. I motioned to him and he came forward. 'Sir, I understand that the safety of the ship depends on the closing of -the bulkhead next to bunker No. 9,' he said. T nodded affirmatively. 'VVith your permission, sir,' said the young man, 'T would like to try to close the bulkheadf I turned to Gfficer Campbell: 'Mn Campbell, you have heard this request. Vifhat do you think of it?' 'It can't be done,' he answered. 'The heat is so terrific that a man could not get to the bulkhead, much less close it. To try would be noth- ing less than suicide' A 'But if T do not succeedf said the seaman, 'there is no harm done, for I have no one dependent upon me. At least give me the opportunity to try to save the ship. That is better than abandoning her without trying' I decided to let the young fellow try, so gave orders that he was to be given every assistance in his dangerous undertaking. He tied a rope around his waist and told the men to pull him out when he gave the signal by jerking the rope. He then took a wet towel to put over his nose and climbed down the ladder into the hold. AnXiously T watched the indicator. Wfould he be able to remove the obstruction? Could he save my ship? A thousand hopes and fears gripped me.. .Then the indicator moved, then stopped, then slowly it moved to the pOs1t1on 'closed' I signaled to open the seacocks in bunkers Nos. 7 and 9. My ship was saved! The young hero was pulled out, but the deadly flames and fumes had doneftheir work. He never recovered consciousness. VVe entered the Golden Gate one week behind our schedule. The ship W!?S very low in the water, due to the water in the bunkers, but she was sa e. THE COGSWELL SQ 'iOn board the pilot boat were reporters from all of the newspapers. I gave the story to a representative ol the Associated Press and told him to give it to the rest of the reporters. The 1'eporter asked the usual questions: WVhat condition was the ship in? Wlhat was the cause? Wfho was the hero of the occasion? I told the story of the heroism ol the young Seaman. 'But,' said the reporter, 'were there no officers or people of rank connected with the rescue?' 'Yes, to a slight degreef I replied. 'First Officer Campbell and his men showed bravery in going down into the hold to close what bullcheads they could: but remember the credit of saving' the ship belongs to the young' seaman whose name I have given to youf The next day a photograph of Officer Campbell appeared on the first page of the morning papers and underneath was a long article telling of the Hrst officers bravery. of which the following' is an excrept: 'First Officer Campbell of the Neptune is to-day hailed as a hero. Wfere it not for his heroism the Neptune in all probability would be at the bottom of the Pacific. NYhen the bulkheads of the ship became obstructed the fire from the coal bunkers threatened to spread to the cargo of explo- sives she was carrying. Campbell led his men into the burning hold and closed the bullcheads, thus saving the ship. Campbell deserves great praise for his heroic action, and it is rumored that his reward will probably be a command. Only one life was lost in the Fire-that of Edward NYalker, an able- bodiecl seaman. ' W. B. Sreruiixsox, '14, 60 THE cooswntt illllarivrhvn Chewing meditatively on a piece of grass, Mariechen, the daughter of a German peasant farmer, sat in the little vegetable patch so carefully cherished by her father, whose property in land was scant. On one side of her lay her hoe, with which she had been hoeing weeds, and as she lay there, leaning her hands against a piece of stubble, which had already pressed red marks into her hand, she thought and thought to herself. Here she was, Mariechen Zemler, pretty as a picture, with nut-brown wavy hair, big violet blue eyes and a merry disposition, but what good was all this when she was as poor as a church mouse? Marie's father in his younger days had worked for the railroad as a bookkeeper, but one day, being sent to the small village of Schwering on business, he had met Mariechen's mother, a beautiful peasant girl, or bauer- madchen. They married. Mariechen's mother did not like city life, so the result was Mariechenls father took up farming, and, as he was not skilful at it, the family had got along as best they could, always having enough to live on, but not enough to save. This was the cause of Mariechen's thinking-Mariechen with her mother's beauty and her father's firm idea of freedom and enjoying life. VVhy should she bother doing such hard work as carrying a heavy wooden bracket over her shoulders, from which suspended two heavily filled milk buckets? W'hy should she bother going out into the fields hoeing potatoes and doing all this hard work for the mere sum of sixty marks a year QSZO in American moneyj when other girls had gone to the large cities and obtained employment at better salaries, some even having the luck of reaching America? As she sat there turning these things over in her mind she heard foot- steps in the road nearby and some one whistling softly to himself the latest German melody, namely, Ptippchen, du bist mein Augensternu CLittle one, you are the star of my eyej. Mariechen peered through the hedge and as she looked a rosy blush tinged her fair cheeks and she quickly drew closer to the hedge, murmuring to herself a Gott sei dank that the passer-by had not seen her, for who should it be but Albert, lVfariechen's most persistent admirer, whom she had determined not to care for, as it was one of Marie- chen's most set ideas that she would never fall in love with a German farmer boy and live the remainder of her life in a little German village like Schwering. Finally Marie decided she had better begin working, so picking up her hoe she began l1OC11'1g vigorously. She had been working some time when along came a double seated spring wagon, in which were seated three ladies fl n' I , I and a gentleman. Americans, no doubt, ' said Mariechen to herself as she looked up. ii TI-IE COGSWELL 61 Bitte, mein Fraiileiuf' said the gentleman as he drew up the horse. Bitte, mein l'lerrschafter, answered Mariechen, as she made a slight courtesy. Could you direct us to Frau Stemmel's housc-:?'l asked the gentleman. Certainly, answered Marie, giving full directions. In the back seat the two young American ladies were commenting on Mariechen's fresh rosy cheeks. So they were going to Frau Stemmel's, those nice .'Xmericans, Marie thought quickly. She had promised Frau Stemmel a basket of Royal Ann cherries. She would take them there now. She had heard Americans liked nice, delicous cherries. Perhaps she could find out something about America. She would tell them all her hopes and ambitions and her dislike for the narrow village life. Truly she had a good time here. ln summer there were the various dances and in winter, when the XYeser River had frozen. skating was most delightful. That afternoon found Klariechen in Frau Stemmel's garden with a large basket of cherries. Sure enough, there were the nice .Xmcricans admiring all the different flowers. lfariechen walked shyly in. made a slight courtesy and offered her cherries to Frau Stemmel. Frau Stemmel thanked her cordially, introduced her to her guests and before long Nlariechen, amazed at her own boldness, was asking them about America, telling them all her hopes and her ambi- tions. The young ladies admired Rlarieclieirs sweet disposition and healthy good looks, and, after some conversation with the old gentleman, who thought she was a nice German girl, they decided to take Mariechen to America with them and pay her passage on condition that she pay it off by working for them so many months. llariechen, delighted with the proposal, agreed and flew home to tell her mother. At home the news was not taken so joyfully and it took some time to persuade Mariecliens mother that in America the girls could earn more money and better themselves in all ways than in a little village like Schwer- ing, Germany. Finally the day for sailing arrived. Mariechen bade all her friends good-by, among them Albert, who promised to write to her monthly. Wfhen the ship left Hamburg Marie stood on the deck waving her hand- kerchief, with a rather peculiar feeling around her heart, for she was begin- ning to realize that America was farther away than she had thought and that she could not run home when she chose. Mariechen traveled third cabin, her American friends second cabin, but the deck steward, who had already become a slave to Mariechen's roguish eye and merry smile, often gave her the privilege of going on the second class deck. Here the American ladies and Mariechen would play shuffle- board to their hearts' content. Those were happy days for Marie. In the morning she would promenade the deck and enjoy a nice juicy orange before breakfast. The weather could not have been more perfect and there were few seasick people on board. 62 THE COGSWELL On the sixth day out the news spread that New York would be reached next morning. Mariechen packed her baggage quickly and when the quar- antine officers came on board she stood in line with the rest of the immi- grants, a roll of bills amounting to 3,200 pressed tightly in her hand fthe American gentleman had lent them to her for the purposej and gazing tremblingly at the officers in khaki uniforms who were inspecting the various passengers. Finally, Mariechen's turn came. VVould she be made to stay back like some of the poor creatures in front of her? Indeed, please God, no! Lifting her eyelids, the officer reported, Good eyes. How much money?'l Mariechen displayed her money. Friends? Mariechen nodded, giving full information. Passed,', said the officer, and Mariechen walked on. The ship steamed into the dock at Hoboken, the gangplanks were low- ered and friends, relations and travelers met once more. The third cabin passengers were not let off until last, and it was some three hours before Mariechen joined her American friends at the dock. How nice they looked, the young fraiilein especially, and Mariechen realized that her stiff little German hat looked rather comical. She soon forgot this, however, in looking at the terribly tall buildings in the distance and the great masses of people about her. Marie was delighted with her first view of America. Marie had been in America six months. The nice Americans who had brought her over treated her Very kindly. She had been given some of the younger Frauleinls cast-off clothing, which she had remodeled, and she was much pleased with the fact that she looked somewhat Americanized. Albert wrote monthly, telling how much money he had made on the last crop, the number of hogs sold, etc. This did not interest Mariechen in the least, for, sad to say, Mariechen's heart was bound in the person of a tall blond German youth whom she had met at night school and who had helped her with her lessons. They had decided that when they had saved enough money they would marry and go to California, where they would buy a nice little farm and raise chickens. Here llffariechen was breaking her set rules, but then California isn't Germany, and, besides, Herman wasn't Albert. ELs1E RIPPE, '14. 'ri-its cooswELL 63 Evavrbeh ltlallrg Xthile in a mood to be with Nature one early spring afternoon, I made up my mind to take a long walk by myself into a valley which I. knew was seldom visited. I could not remember much uf the valley but that a beau- tiful, quiet brook found its way through a sylvan tangle of willow trees and shrubhery. 'Ilhe trail over which I went was almost hidden by the long Grass which still bore the dew of the morning. I still remember that the D valley of which I speak had a rich, green, long- gi-gigey nqwfliiw fur gi floor, while the surrounding hills were thickly wooded with trees. .X cool breeze struck me I walked with my coat on my arm, gazing at the groups of oak trees with their branches and trunks twisted into unimaginable shapes. I realized then why Nature was Su often spoken uf as being beyond the power of man to depict. 'Ilhe fresh ocean wind from the ridge brought with it the delightful fragrance of the trees. Although I walked slowly. the time in which I walked tlirougli the valley seemed rather short. :Xt length I found myself at the bank of a brook which I so well remembered as having been the fishing hole for trout several years before. Due to the heavy rainfalls, the size of the stream had swollen so that I was unable to leap across as I had formerly done. I could plainly see the bottom which made a background for a picture of the trout that merrily and hurriedly swam about. I knew of no bridge by which I could cross the stream, so I was forced to walk along the bank through the weeds until I could find a suitable place to cross. After having walked uphill a long way beside this stream, which was approaching its source, I came to a place which was apparently safe as a crossing. I decided after some consideration to take a chance. I stepped first with one foot, then with the other, then again: but as I took the third step I sank a little. I kept on, however, and before I could realize what was happening the mud found its way into my shoes. I could not stop when only three more steps were necessary to put me safely on dry soil, so I made two leaps and succeeded in landing on terra lirma. I felt sorry for myself for having been deceived by the beautiful covering which I was sure could support me while crossing. I trudged on with burdened feet. I was amazed by the sight of the wide spreading Pacific far away. The distance from where I was seemed short, but I knew from previous experience that in doubling the apparent distance in such a case a person would have a fair approximate of the real distance. I had started on my walk with the idea of merely visiting the valley, but, after doing so, I was filled with the desire of seeing again a famous 64 THE COGSWELL lig'hthouse which lay on the very end of a rocky cliff, which was at least one hundred feet above the surface of the ocean. Not far from where I was I could barely distinguish the branch trail which led to the lighthouse. Before very long' I was hurriedly climbing the trail which I sought, in the meantime looking back over the green meadow with the willows, which partly hid the brook from my view. X After having walked in the direction of the lighthouse I could plainly distinguish the storehouses and home of the keepers. My anxiety to see the inside of the lighthouse led me to walk faster and reach the place very soon. Upon introducing myself to the keeper I was shown the interior of the electric generating and power plant for the great revolving beacon light which can be seen for many miles by the mariners on the ocean. Time had not waited for me and before I was aware the sun was not far from the horizon. I turned iinmediately and started homeward over the path by which I came. My shadow extended far ahead of me and after one last look at a sunset, too beautiful to be described, I walked quickly homeward in the softly falling twilight.

The only change in the courses of study is a tendency to greater liberality allowed students in selecting work in the industrial branches. The amount of elective work for girls in the third and fourth years is to be increased and special group courses in dressmaking, drawing, arts and crafts and house management are to be provided for. Friday, july 24th, is announced as the day for enrollment and classifica- tion of students. Schedules of work for mixed program students and for those in group courses should be arranged on this day. All books and supplies necessary for work at the beginning of the term should be secured on Friday and Saturday, july 24th and 25th. Work will begin in all departments at 9 a. m. Monday, july 27th.

Hiden 70 'THE COGSWELL TO THE FIFTEEN CLASS. Vtfake up! It is time to think about the students you are going to put up as candidates for the various Student Body offices. The '14 class has run the school activities during the past year and now it becomes time for the class of 1915 to take the helm. You will have a rather calm sea, the only. reef of any danger which is to be avoided is the rapid decline of school spirit. This you will have to watch and steer clear of. The selection of the candidates is a thing on which the class should vote, selecting one set of candidates, getting behind them, and boosting them. In union there is strength. But above all, make sure the candidates are worthy and capable. -iii..,- GOOD-BY. Vtfith the coming graduation, a number of students will sever their con- nections with Cogswell, by obtaining their diplomas. Some may be glad, some may not, but to all of them will come a feeling of satisfaction at having spent four successful years at Cogswell, under the careful guidance of a faculty which isn't afraid to aid a student. Some of the graduates will continue their school-life, going on to the university. Some are going to go to business college to prepare for office work, while others plan to become machinists or workmen in some other style of manual labor. Into whatever life they may enter, we wish one and all the greatest success possible, and hope that when they become great, they will not forget the friends they made during their four years' stay at Cogswell. ONCE MORE, SCI-IOOI. SPIRIT. It is the same old thing over and over again, VVhere is all the school spirit? I-Iere are a few examples of the lack of school spirit: A few days ago President Duncan, of the Student Body, asked the boys if they woulcln't pick up the stones in the new field, so that the football players could get some spring practice. I-low many students complied willingly with the request? Illl venture to say, not more than twenty-five. It was only after the hardest kind of work that President Duncan and A. Peterson rounded up about three- fourths of the boys. Other examples are the lack of support given the base- ball, track, and swimming teams. Football and basketball are fairly well supported. Wfhy not baseball, track, or swimming? It doesnt cost any more, and they are just as exciting. Wfhat is more exciting than a race for home, between a base runner and a ball from the outfield, 'when the score is a tie? Wfhat is more exciting than two runners or swimmers starting on the last lap tied for first place? There are some high schools in this city the students of which support the teams whether they are good, bad or indifferent. It should be so at Cogswell, where there are better facilities and more room to develop new material. The new system of paying dues is also the cheapest in this city. The next time you are in doubt as to whether you are going to a certain game or not, just remember you are helping two entirely different organizations. You are helping the team, by instilling confidence in the players, and you are adding to the reputation of Cogswell. W. B. Stephenson V. Leason E. Wind11oeve1 E. Bridgett F. O'Brien D.

This department, we find, is a constant trouble as well as expense, and we feel that this space could be used to better advantage for literary or advertising purposes. VVe also have come to the conclusion that exchange notes do not interest the students of our college, although they do help the staff. Since the foundation of our Exchange Department we have published quarterly from two to three and a half pages of exchanges. These have been devoted to criticisms and not merelv to acknowledgments. lly discontinuing this department we shall have at least two more pages available for other work, which we hope will be more appre- ciated by our students. The staff of Tun Ct7f2SXYlil.I. wishes to extend its sincerest thanks to those schools and colleges which have in the past been so kind as to supply us with copies of their journals for exchange purposes.

The new Cogswell Alumni Associa- tion held its first social event on the evening of March 13th. Over two hundred of the black and green postal cards, already becoming so well known to former Cogswellites, were sent out and a great number of graduates and former students responded to the sum- mons for a good time in the old au- ditorium. Most of the old classes were well represented, and even one lone mem- ber of the class of 1891 was present. At the door each one was presented with a tag on which to write his name and address and which he wore during the evening. In this way every one was able to get acquainted with those who had graduated before or after his own time. A vote was also taken by means of these tags as to whether or not there should be an Alumni banquet at some future date. As might be expected, the majority were in favor of the banquet, and some day soon the members of the association will be summoned to what we hope will become an annual event. Mr. Rotrosky started the entertain- ment for the evening by a short ad- dress, explaining that this was the first of many good times which, it is hoped, would be given under the aus- pices of the Alumni Association. He then explained how each member of the Social Committee was to take charge of the program for one evening, and introduced Merrill Howe, who had charge for that evening. Mr. Howe, after a few remarks, presented Mr. Miller, who said that he had always desired to have a permanent Alumni Association connected with the school and that he believed the one now started would form the nucleus of a large and a permaneiht association.

The tags given out earlier in the evening each bore a number, the girls' numbers corre- sponding to those on the boys' tags, and in this manner each one was fur- nished with a partner for the refresh- ment dance. Every one present voted the affair a jolly good time and all asked eagerly for the date of the next one. The treasury is now in fairly good shape, so that the Social Committee expects to announce another good time soon after the vacation days are over. However, announcements will be sent only to those whose dues for the year Cl914j are marked paid, so be sure that yours are so marked by the treasurer. very kindly and made a 30 THE coGsWELL OUR GRA.DS AT COLLEGE.

Meteorlike has the class of 1914 whirled through its Senior year and now, on the eve of graduation, its members are well prepared to step forth into the world. The girls of the class cannot be given too much praise for the way they have controlled affairs during the year. Girls of the Senior class, it is with reluctance that the undergraduates say farewellg yet it need not be farewell. XYhy not pay us a call occasionally? You will always be welcomed by the girls, Seniors, for are you not of us? ASSOCIATED GIRL STUDENTS. On Monday, .Npril 13, the girls gathered in the auditorium for a jolly good time in the form of an Easter social. The social was in reality a formal welcoming to the lireshnien. but the scrubs had welcomed them- selves into high school life right from the start. Nevertheless, they enjoyed the Social with a hearty and gratifying appreciation. A well rendered pro- gram received the hearty applause of the audience. Irene Farrell, a new- comer, favored the girls with a piano solo. .X Comic sketch by the girls of the Senior class was then presented. Edna Ayres, of the '15 class, played a piano solo, as usual delighting her hearcrs. Irina lilahrs gave a pleasing recitation. The girls' orchestra was then heard from, receiving hearty applause. The seats were then removed and then began one of those joyous times, when the Senior forgets to be dignihed and the scrub has to blink her eyes to make sure that she isn't still in grammar school. Every one enjoyed the games, particularly the race. Refreshments were served and the rest of the afternoon was spent in dancing. GIRLS' ORCHESTRA. Yes, it is here, really here-a girls' orchestra. For years we have waited patiently for a girls' orchestra. Then along came three enterprising girls who didn't wait patiently-no, indeed. They calmly went to work and started the nucleus of an orchestra. Let us hope some of those patient waiters who can play musical instruments will help to enlarge the orchestra. SWIMMING AND ROWING. Swimming and rowing were very popular last term, but both these sports seem to be enjoying a slump at present. It is rumored that there are several mermaids among the under-class girls, so we may live in hope of seeing swimming regain its high standard in the near future. TENNIS. Tennis enthusiasts are rejoicing over the way the girls are supporting this section. The Girls are always ready for a set after school on the 6 school courts. Several of the players make a practice of going to the Park courts weekly. BASKETBALL. The basketball team has practiced faithfully during the greater part of the year, but has been enjoying the rest cure lately. The girls expect to get in some good games before school closes and may be in line for block Cfs if they have time to win a sufficient number of games. The team has won about half the games played during the year. LENA HAGENSEN, President VERONA LEASON, Vice-President SOPI-IIE STEIMKE, Secretary ELSIE RIPPE, Financial Manager THE COGSWELL 85 SEWING. Now is the high tide ol' the yearn in the sewing department. From every class finished work is pouring in, lilling the chests and showcase and providing the models with trousseaux galore. The Seniors' graduating gowns are, ol course, the most important work now being done, and, wonder of wonders, Mrs. lngalls says that they will be finished ahead ol time! This is unusual, as there is always more or less of a rush during the last week. The gowns are all of the latest style and of line material. Amelia Tschirch is finishing a blue foulard afternoon gown. The IVA class is hard at work on their battenberg and appear to be making considerable headway. The millinery class, consisting of the lYpX's and the juniors have turned out some good work. llaving tinishecl their summer hats, the IV Ns and IH B's are spending their time in making children's bonnets by hand. The IH :Ys are making housecaps. Elizabeth lilaciocco and Emma lluclgen are making fancy waists. The girls of the ll ll class are making dilterent articles of dress. Some are finishing their French linings. Elizabeth Fisher is making a blue dress, Pearl Hein a diagonal checked suit, Frieda Knudson a heavy woolen coat, Grace Schilling a green coat, and Marie Selleck a corded woolen suit. The HA girls are not idle. Coats ol the latest style, suits and dresses are being made by these skillful girls. lt is useless to mention individuals, for as a class they are excellent dressniakers. The Freshmen take to sewing as the proverbial duck to water. The I B's are finishing their undergarments and some of the girls are working on dresses which they will exhibit in the -lunior Exposition, which, by the way, will receive a splendid exhibit from the department. The IA's have the applied sewing well under way. FREEHAND. The Seniors are working hard in the little green room. The craft work is, as a rule, worthy of great praise. The pretty and useful articles made by the girls who are painting china, and those who are working with metal, excite the admiration of everyone. The TH B Class of Design is working hard on designs, which they will use in their Senior year. They have handed in the necessary abstracts. The IHA class is doing wash-work. Some of the girls have drawn cuts for THE COGSWELL. The II B's have also drawn for THE COGSWELL and are now doing wash- work. The IIA ffirls are making posters and book covers. Q b An industrious group is the high Freshmen class. They are working on the large models. The I A's are well started on their small casts. COOKING. The Cooking Department will also exhibit in the junior Exposition. The junior girls are making salads and serving invalid meals. The III A's are planning and serving breakfasts.

Perhaps one has to be a Cogswellite, or at least possess some of that true Cogswell spirit before one can realize the magic of such seemingly unimportant words and such an ordinary date. Yet what Cogswell student's heart does not throb with anxious excitement, not when he sees the first nor the second part of this ordinary phrase, but when he sees the combination of June, 1914! For that date proclaims the close of the spring semester, the close of a term of hard, conscientious work, and heralds the days of idle happiness to be spent at the seashore or in the mountains. Probably our tiny Freshmen are the most joyful, anticipating mighty Sophomore days. And if the 17's keep up their past record, Cogswell will surely have a class of which it can be duly proud. Almost immediately upon entering school the class of 1917 was organized, and from that time on has taken a hearty interest in school affairs. The officers who served during the past term are: President, Vlfalter 1-lollg Vice-President, Cade Sparks, Secretary, Opal Dalbeyg Treasurer, Rudolph Popeg Sergeant-at- Arms, Jacob Cordseng Representative, Hazel Sweeney. A quaint and very original design have the 16's chosen for their pin, which links the two classes. The near Juniors look back on the past semester with perfect satisfaction and are now planning their next term's work. No new officers have been elected as yet, and those who served during the past six months are: President, Raymond McElligotg Vice-President, Pearl Hein, Secretary, Jean Miller, Treasurer, Carl Olsen, Sergeant-at-Arms, Spiro Mandichg Representative to the Student Body, Frieda Knudson. Nor have the 15's elected a new set of officers for their Senior year. Those who filled their positions exceedingly capably throughout the term are: President, Edward McDonald, Vice-President, Elmer Forsythg Secre- tary, Sophie Trostg Treasurer, Henry Roberts, Representatives, Frances W'agner and Mervin Gunzendorfer. The 15's have little specialties all of their own in the manner of house parties. A series of these interesting affairs have already been given at different students, homes and have been most successful in promoting sociability among the class members. Rumors are about that the class has laid the foundation plans for a gigan- tic Exposition danceu to be held in the near future. But perhaps the waning' term has been the most successful for the Seniors, who will soon bid a fond farewell to the happy scenes of fast departing school days spent at Cogswell. But let it not be forever, l4's! Remember that Cogswellls doors are always open at your command and why not return sometimes, not only as a distant visitor, but as if you again were a participant in the activities which you have held so dear and which have prospered through your untiring efforts during the past four years. How we hope that you may have that same success in your new lives that you are about to begin with the dawn of june, 1914. The class is still putting the finishing touches on its high school career and IS in the midst of plans for a final social appearance in the form of The THE COGSWELL 89 Senior Farewell Ball, to take place the evening alter graduation. And Certainly a pleasant time is expected, lor bids are already being eagerly sought for by the lower classmen. As a unique remembrance the class has decided by a unanimous vote to present to the school a beautiful glass cabinet for exhibiting the numerous school. trophies which it has greatly helped to win. On last March oth the l-Vs starred in the production of The College Senior. a three-act comedy which, being a complete success, swelled the class treasury by 25185. ln sincere appreciation for the efforts ol the teachers who helped to make the play a success, the class presented to Miss F. Chubb and Miss N. Foulk silver fountain pens, and to Miss F.. Grinnell an artistic silver pencil. XYednesday, .-Xpril 2241. was the date lor the Senior luncheon, Dozens of placards, advertising the excellence ol the delicacies, were posted in the halls, and so much spirit was aroused by the Seniors that it was proclaimed Senior Day. During the past term the ofiicers of the class were: President, Reuben Spunng 'Vice-President, Herman Hanson: Secretary, May Poetschg Treas- urer. Klartin hlukichz Representatives, Laura Larson and lllen Neuman. These, with the combined efforts of the class members. were responsible for the huge success ol the l-Vs and are to be congratulated on their fine work. Cn Friday, February 20th, a regular executive committee meeting was held and the following appropriations were made: 31.50 for a basketball bladder: enough money for two baseball batsg enough money for one dozen baseballsg 50 cents for expenses ol the basketball managerg 31.50 for rub- down: 3,552.50 for ten baseball suits: and ffl for managers fees. Line Johnson was given a sanction to hold a swimming interclass meet for block numerals on XYednesday, March 11th, and Donald Marley was granted permission to hold basketball interclass for block numerals in the first week of March, 1914. Another regular meeting of the executive committee was held on March 6th. Enough money was appropriated to engrave the cup which Cogswell won at the track meet and Sl was awarded for track managers fees: Knittel was granted permission to hold baseball games with San Mateo High and Tamalpais Military Academy, and sanction was given to Bridgett to hold a dual track meet with lrlurnboldt High on March 14th. A special meeting of the executive committee was called to order on Thursday, March 12th, for the purpose of accepting the resignation of Donald Marley as manager of the basketball team and of Arthur Pierson as captain. Fred Gibbons was elected captain and Carl Boldemann as manager of the team. The first Student Body meeting of the term was held in the school auditorium on Friday, March 13th, for the purpose of observing Founders' Day exercises. The opening remarks were made by Robert Duncan, Presi- dent of the Student Body, who gave a summary of the founding of the 90 THE COGSWELL school and the first meeting held by the Board of Trustees. The orchestra next rendered a beautiful selection, which received hearty applause. Mr. Miller, our president, next made a short address emphasizing the generosity of the Trustees in perfecting the students' athletic grounds. Mr. Lucy, chairman of the Board of Trustees, heartily congratulated the students for their fine work during the past term and for their clean and high record in athletics. President Duncan then brought the meeting to a close after announcing that Fuqua, Duncan and Baloun had won blocks for placing high in the cross country meet. All departments were opened for inspection. Friday, March 17th, was the date of another special executive committee meeting. The purpose was to decide whether a tennis team should be organized to be sent south to the Stanford interscholastic meet. It was decided not to send one. Another regular executive committee meeting was held on April 3d and 310 was awarded for the girls' social, 31 for the baseball umpire's fee, 34.50 for the swimming team, 34.45 for the school orchestra, 34.50 for the expenses of the Stanford interscholastic meet, and enough money was awarded for felt for making block C's and class numerals. Friday, April 17th, was the date of the next regular executive committee meeting, which was probably the most expensive of the term. 3.25 were appropriated for tickets for the swimming meet, 390 for cuts for the school paper, 35.20 for the track team, 31 for pictures, 31 for the expenses of the swimming team, enough money for a stop watch and 31.50 for rub- down.

Of course we always planned to have something out of the ordinary and it also had to be some- thing exceptionally good. Finally, at the beginning of our last term, the Senior Farce Committee was appointed. Now our brains were put to work selecting a play. 'We read all kinds of plays, but could come to no decision. Finally, we eliminated all but two plays and lastly selected The College Senior as the Cogswell Senior Farce. After the choice of the play, the selection of characters followed, and with the aid of Miss Grinnell the cast very capable cast. With the selection rehearsal-began. For four weeks the ticed every day. They even spent all hearsal. At last, after many hours of committee succeeded in selecting a of the cast the real work-that of thirteen members of the cast prac- day Monday, February 23d, in re- hard work, and with the unfailing help of our coaches-Miss Grinnell, Miss Chubb and Miss Foulk- The College Senior was produced in the Cogswell Auditorium on Friday even- ing, March 6, l9l4, and from all sides we received nothing but praise and congratulations for our success. ' The first act of the play showed the interior of the Eat-it-Here lunch- room of which Mr. Gordon Wainsvriglit was the proprietor. Violet, the cashier, was sitting at her cash register, while Mike, the chef, was behind the counter awaiting the breakfast crowd. This crowd, composed of 'fPug Collins, Duffy Duffield and Meade, soon entered and were busy eating when Perry Spencer, a snob, entered. Mr. Beane, a clumsy Freshman, then appeared, bringing a letter for Spencer. Spencer read the letter with an exclamation of disgust, and when asked what the trouble was said that his sister, Gertrude, was bringing a certain girl, Mary VVhite, popularly known as a lemon, to the Senior hop that night and that he had to find an escort for her. f'Pug Collins suggested that he take her himself, but Spencer absolutely refused to do this, saying that he was going to take Eleanor Forbes, a wealthy Southern girl. After a short discussion, Spencer decided to ask VVainwright, the proprietor, to take her. Wainwriglit at first refused to go, but after some coaxing decided to consider the plan. Meade then went to the door and as he saw a thunderstorm approaching asked Spencer to take the boys over to the college in his machine. The storm was raging at its height and 'Wainwright was just remark- ing: Gee! but this is a storm, when Eleanor Forbes entered and asked if she might stay in there out of the rain. Gf course she was granted permission to stay and a great affection immediately sprang up between the two. They soon became so absorbed in a conversation that neither noticed when it stopped raining. Finally, Eleanor said she was afraid she must go, but before going she asked Wainwriglit if he were going to the Senior hop that evening.

After thanking him for his hospitality, she left and he watched her from the window and then called Mike and told him to tell Bernstein to send for his evening clothes and press them, as he was going to the Senior hop. This was a fitting end for the first act. The second act showed an alcove in the ballroom that evening. Wfhen the curtain rose, Violet and Beane were discovered preparing the lemonade. He was in the act of making violent love to her when they were interrupted by Eleanor and Spencer. Eleanor asked Violet to help her HX her dress which she had torn, but before leaving she told Spencer that she had an unengaged dance on her card and asked if she was supposed to dispose of it if anyone who asked her. He laughingly replied that she might if anyone asked her. Waiiixvriglit then entered with Miss Wliite, who had also torn her dress and, while she was mending it, Spencer inspected VVainwright's clothes and told him that he looked as if he had been used to that sort of thing all his life. Vtfainwright was in the act of thanking him for his compliment when Eleanor, Miss VVhite and Gertrude Spencer entered. VVhen Spencer saw Eleanor he commanded his sister to take Wfainwright away as he didnlt want to introduce him to Eleanor on account of his being a lunchroom keeper. Eleanor, just at this moment, turned, recognized Vlfainwright and forced Gertrude to introduce him to her. He asked for a dance and she, having none unengaged, promised him half of Perry's, saying that Perry wouldn't care. The third act showed a portion of Lover's Lane on the Stanford campus. Spencer and Collins were discovered sitting on a bench discussing the attentions with which VVainwright was showering Eleanor Forbes when Meade entered and told them to hurry and dress for the Senior parade. After they had left the stage, Eleanor and her aristocratic Southern aunt, Mrs. Lee, entered. After several complaints about Northern hospitality, Mrs. Lee asked Eleanor what man she had seen the most of, and just as Gertrude Spencer and Pug Collins entered Eleanor confessed that she had seen Mr. VVainwright more than any other man. Mrs. Lee then sent Eleanor and Collins for a walk while she found from Miss Spencer that Wfainwright kept a lunehroom on the campus. After Miss Spencer took Mrs. Lee and Eleanor to hear the music, the Senior parade entered. In the Senior parade Spencer was dressed as Mary plane, Collins as a devil, Meade as a clown, and Duffield as a holy monk, while Mr. Beane and Mike formed the sacrificial calf. Q As soon as the music stopped, Spencer and Collins decided to give Wain- wright a shock by introducing him to Mrs. Lee, knowing that Mrs. Lee would treat him very coldly because of his position in life. After this scheme was arranged, the Senior parade' proceeded. Again the Senior parade entered and everybody was assembled waiting to see the outcome of the introduction of Mrs. Lee to Waiiivvriglit. After Mrs. Lee had been introduced to Waiiixvriglit, Wainwriglit remarked that his father had told him that his mother, who had died when he was a boy, had been a great friend of hers. 'When Mrs. Lee scornfully asked: Who could THE eoosWELL Q5 your mother have been? Wfainwright replied: My mother's maiden name was Letty Page. This was a great shock to Mrs. Lee and a great surprise for Eleanor, as Letty Page had been the best friend that Mrs. Lee had ever had. Of course this did away with all obstacles for Eleanor and Waiiiwriglit and the play ended with her promise to marry him. Not only was our play good, but the parts were well taken. Allison Eaton showed a great deal of dramatic ability by the Way in which she interpreted the part of Yiolet. lrina llahrs played the part of Eleanor Forbes, while lrma Grauerholz deserves a great deal of praise for the way 1n which she interpreted the role of Mrs. Lee. Verona Leason as Gertrude Spencer, Mildred lX'illian1s as Peggy Jones, and Laura Larson as Mary Wliite, all deserve credit for the way in which they played their parts. To Wayne Stephenson, who tool: the part of Gordon NVainxvright, we take OH our hats. lfle made a most amiable leading man. To Carleton liryan we must extend our congratulations for the way in which he played the role of Perry Spencer, the villain of the play. Martin jnlcieh was seen to gmail advantage as lileane. the awkward Fresh- man. Clifford Nichols deserves credit 'lor the way in which he played the part of Mike and lean. Carl lloldemann as l'ug'g'y Collins, Eldred Edwards as Meade, and Ray- mond Young as DnlTy Dntheld are deserving' of praise for the way in which they interpreted their roles.

The greatest innovation of the year was the introduction of girls into the school orchestra. When a plea for volunteers with musical talent was made to the girls three responded-Miss McCord, violin, Miss Loewe, piano, and Miss Forrest, cornet. It was certainly very kind of Mr. Lucas to offer his services as director of the orchestra. His knowledge of music and his playing ability have helped the orchestra greatly. A very important reason for the success of the orchestra during the past year is the regular practice. Every Monday and VVednesday afternoons from half-past two until four the auditorium has been used exclusively by the orches- tra. Some time in the future it is to be hoped that music will be a part of the course of study. The orchestra supplied music at all the Student Body rallies, as well as on Founders' Day, and for the Senior play. The orchestra certainly did its share in helping to make this play a success. It played a lively piece for the introduction and provided music between the acts. After the play, Samuels and his ragtime band made plenty of noise for the dance, They also supplied music for the Alumni dance, which took place about two months ago. The string department of the orchestra was well taken care of by Mr. Lucas and Miss McCord, who played the solo parts, and Samuels 'and Edwards, who played the second parts. Miss Forrest and Pope made an excellent combination in the cornet section. There were two piano players, Miss Loewe and Hartman, who alternated. They certainly rattled the ivories. In the reed section were Kirkpatrick, Chew and Zolot. Kirkpatrick and Zolot played first clarinet and Chew played second. All the members, individually as well as collectively, deserve great praise and full credit for the past year's work. Although the orchestra has sufficient talent at the present, more will be required next year to replace those who are leaving because of graduation. Any one who knows how to play an instrument will do justice both to the orchestra and to himself by joining it. It would be a great advantage to the orchestra to have a greater variety of instruments, such as the trombone, cello, snare and bass drums. It is to be hoped that in the near future Cogswell will be able to boast of a full orchestra. SCHOOL ORCHESTRA . - l ,J 1 . - , ,IV V I 25: 41,-SA' ' H , I .A . if r, A -f . vw.

President Robert Duncan .of the Student Body presided and, wishing to acquaint the students, their relatlvesiand friends With the early history of the school and the plans and purposes of its founders, read the following account of the meeting of Dr. Cogswell with the first Board of Trustees and his address to them when presenting the deed of trust conveying the property which has served to build and maintain the school: PRELIMINARY MEETING. Moses Hopkins, Charles B. Stone, Thomas B. Bishop, Mary E. Arnold and james G. Kennedy were invited to meet Dr. H. D. Cogswell and Caroline E. Cogswell at the office of Thomas B. Bishop in the city of San -Francisco at 12 o'clock noon on the nineteenth day of March, 1887. The time. having arrived and all being present, except Moses Hopkins, Dr. H. D. Cogswell addressed those present as follows: 'Ladies and Gentlemen: We have invited you to be present to-day to assist us in taking what seems to us a very important step in the educational history of this state. It is no less a step than the founding of a polytechnical college for the purpose of affording the boys and girls of the state a practical training in the different industries, a thorough knowledge of which is necessary to success in life. 'The education that does not prepare one to intelligently direct his labor is not worthy of a moment's consideration. VVe are sorry to say but little effort is made in our present system of education to prepare children to use their knowl- edge in assisting them to gain a livelihood. Most of our boys and girls have no occupation and are not fit for one when they leave school. They have learn- ing but no capacity. The time has come when all this should be changed. The new education demanded by the necessities of the nineteenth century calls for the training of the eyes and the hand, and stamps it as being just as important as the study of grammar, geography, arithmetic and other kindred studies. 'Educated working men and women are necessary to solve the great labor problems that will arise in the future. For the purposes of this education there 1S room and need for technical schools in all quarters of our country. 'Mental industry can exist only along with physical industry, hence the true school should give both mental and physical culture. 'I 'For-the purpose then of providing the boys and girls of the state a thor- ough training in mechanical arts and other industries we have made the grant, as set forth in these papers, providing for the founding and maintaining of the Cogswell Polytechnic College. I present them to you, believing that you will faithfully execute your trust to the best of your abilityf Atuthe conclusion of the reading of this paper the SCI-1001 Orchestra favofed the audience. with the Gold and Silver W'altz,', which received hearty applause. . Miller, our president, made a few remarks, chiefiy concerning the immediate and future improvements of the school, which are being accomplished through the generosity of the Board of Trustees. THE cooswsms 99 iKvrPni fdmprnuvmenfa The laying out of the boys' athletic field and the girls' tennis and basketball courts is now rapidly nearing completion and the members of the Cogswell Student Body are eagerly looking forward to the time when they may invite other high school students to participate in the various athletic events already being scheduled to take place on the new grounds. The new athletic field has a frontage of two hundred and ninety-seven feet on Army street with a width of about one hundred and eighty feet, and the boys, anticipating the time when the field will be ready for use, have made a field plan including a baseball diamond and a one-quarter mile cinder path with provisions for other field sports. Plans for handball courts are being made but the location will depend upon the final arrangements of the field plan. A concrete retaining wall surmounted by an artistic seven-foot iron fence surrounds the grounds on the street boundaries. On the site extending 140 feet north of the new field it is planned to erect a new building to include the industrial and science departments for boys. In the basement of the new building will be the lockers, showers, etc., to accommodate the athletes. just opposite the boys' field on the newly acquired northeast corner of Fol- som and Army streets are the girls' outdoor recreation grounds, in which will be a basketball court and two tennis courts. The paving of the tennis courts has been considerably delayed by the heavy rains which caused the filled-in ground to become too soft for the heavy roller to be used in preparing the sub-base for the paving. . The girls themselves are planning to beautify their new grounds by border- ing the field with masses of bright flowers and evergreen shrubs. .4-P' ,,,4-rrrvl THE COGSWELL 101 Cll'.XRI.liS l-l'1ni3N, 'l5. The various shop departments at Cogsxvcll have all completed the term's work in readiness for the vacation. .Xs usual, the majority of the work has been very good. The routine of the shops is not changing very appreciably, so the students are the only changeable factor. '.l'herefore, the following may be familiar to many: MECHANICAL DRAWING. :Xll of Mr. llurldiard's mechanical drawing classes have completed their courses for the term. ,X lieu' classes have been added to the number already held. The I:X's are noxv making worlcing drawings from models, The II.-Ys are taking up advanced machine drawing, and are obtaining good results. The apprentice draughtsmcn are busy on various projects, Jacobsen, one of the best clraughtsmen this school has ever known. is now in the employ of the Moore K Scott Co. lle has given them such good results that they wish to keep him there, although he has not graduated as yet. On March 13 he had been there a month. and he is being paid a good salary for his efforts. Behnemann has designed several tixtures for the woodworking machines, as the circular saw and the planer. Henry Gerdau has designed a tivo-cycle gas engine. Lunsmann has been working on a four-cycle gas engine. A new sparking system for the lights in the Auditorium has been invented by Lindberg. This device was installed during the spring vacation and has been a decided success. Ruling is with the Cyclops Iron XVorlcs for a few weeks on trial, with the object of obtaining a permanent position if he proves himself thoroughly capable. The electric shop is now able to continue the building of various apparati, as a large quantity of supplies has been received. The electric sign and the sign speller, which are to be installed in the electric shop and which will spell Cogswell , are now nearing completion. The construction of motors, the building of transformers and other electrical machines will be resumed. A class is now beginning surveying. This class is one of the largest that has begun this study during the last few years. They will soon be able to go on the field and do practical work. These students will survey city lots, country property and railroad curves. The tinal work will be to measure Bernal Heights by two methods: first, by direct leveling and, second, by trian- gulation. Fremont O'Brien is working on some of the plans for this class. ARCHITECTURAL AND FREEHAND DRAWING. Mr. Crites' classes are making good progress in their various departments. This term will end the university and architectural drawing studies of many of the students. 102 THE CoGswELL The IB's have completed their simple geometrical plates, and are striving to attain perfect plates on standard cross sections. The HB's are all very well advanced. Their Nemesis is solids that make angles with all three reference planes. Some of the more successful students are Owens and Chew. The beginners in Freehand are working' o-n vases and other symmetrical objects. The class in pencil sketching has completed the geometrical solids and is practicing rapid sketching of various shop patterns. This rapid sketching is an innovation in freehand work. The university drawings are good. Doble and Trachsler are exceptionally neat and accurate in their work. The architectural classes also have some very good draughtsmen. Linkins is working on the brick details. Patterson, Bachtold and V. Gerdau are drawing designs of flats and cot: tages. Special mention should be made of Bachtold. Merriman has almost completed the working drawings for a three-story building, which is soon to be built on Mission street. Hansen and Pyne have finished their painting of the live architectural orders and are s-tarting perspective work. , Lincoln johnson has resumed work on a six-story Class C apartment house. FREEHAND DRAWING. Miss Patterson's freehand drawing classes have successfully completed their routine work. Some very good drawings have been made, as is testilied by the many cuts in this issue of THE COGSWELL. The IIB boys have nearly completed their charcoal drawings, and are soon to take up pencil sketching. The Seniors have completed their required work in drawing. During this quarter Peterson has been engaged in sketching the various machines in the machine shop. MACHINE SHOP. The machine shop continues to be the center of attraction for the struggling machinists. Their results show the earnestness with which they try to succeed. The IHA's have completed their blocks satisfactorily, and are now begin- ning the simple lathe exercises. The HIB's have completed their lathe exercises and are working on the various machines. This term will complete the machine shop course of one year, which is required. A number of the Seniors have been engaged on various useful projects. Botteron has been working on the big lathe on many varied jobs. Clisham has completed a fly-wheel for a gas engine. Carlson is working at assembling a grinder. Lindberg has made the bearings for a Zyq-h.p. induction motor. THE COGSWELL IQ3 E. Hansen has been working ou the eccentric for a 4M x 6 gas engine. . Zecher has been very busily engaged in assembling a 42 X 6 gas engine, -los. lyne has completed odd Jobs and is taking geneial shop practice. Cate has turned out some Hywheels for a gas engine on the big lathe. y Fremont O'l'!rien has completed his artistic poker and tongs and is now busy on a holder for them. PATTERN SHOP. The pattern shop has been very busy during the last quarter in preparing patterns for the foundry as well as doing the general shop work. Several stu- dents have been putting in extra time in order to finish their work. The lA's have finished all the general woodworking exercises, and are en- gaged in the preliminary pattern work. They are now making patterns for various machines. and are obtaining general shop practice. The Il-Ts are doing cabinet work. Some are also working on patterns and others are doing practical work in the shop. The Hlfl's have been in the foundry and will be in the pattern shop for two weeks, in order to finish their courses in pattern making. The rest of their quarter will be spent in the foundry. Many of the students are finishing their cabinet work. Others are com- pleting the furniture, which was begun during the last quarter. Hauser, Lunsman and Roberts are doing extra time in the shop. in the hope of completing by the end of the present quarter the patterns for a lO-h.p. gas engine. FORGE. The classes in forging have all been busy with their various exercises. Some very good specimens have been made. The HATS have been working' on machine forging, and have advanced successfully. They are now taking up the tool-dressing of chisels and lathe tools. Those completed have turned out well. The making of two dozen tongs is to be finished this quarter. Those students who are otherwise disengaged, are doing shop work, such as putting up shelves, etc. FOUNDRY. The foundry has been very busy during the last quarter in turning out casts of needed machinery. Four heats have been taken. In the first, the casts for the iron fence posts were cast. Two thousand pounds of iron were heated of which 900 pounds came out as good castings. The casts of the 4x6 gas engines, including the cylinder casts, were successful. fllfm, L5 Lf' 37 1 -I no J 49,77 .. ' :JZ w I gr' ,Z u flqxngx, 'i I ' 5?

'14, Although Cogswell cannot boast of having won football, swimming or baseball, all the opposing teams knew they had been in a game at the Finish. lt is this lighting spirit which has given Cogswell the good name it now 11215, lt was only after the hardest kind of work that the winners of the league managed to nose out the lighting wearers of the lllaclc and Green. Football Last spring football training started out with a great rush. As Cogs- well had annexed the llointlizlll championship of San Francisco in 1912 it was thought that we would again repeat the victory, and that thought brought out all the veterans and a great number of future stars, So in a few days spring training was in full swing. Summer vacation interfered with training for a while, but as soon as school began again football training became one of the most important events around school. Captain Sewall and Coach llomeroy trained the team in football lore and hopes were high at Cogswell for the championship of 1913. League Games of 1913. Cogswell started out winning the league games in great style. The first league game was with Lick. 'llheir colors were lowered to the tune of 13 to 3. The second game was with Commercial, which was defeated by a score of 32 to O. The St. Ignatius game was won by Cogswell by an ll to O score. The fourth game was with Mission. The final score was 5 to O in favor of Cogswell. Then came the Poly. game. This game was also won by the wearers of the lllaclc and Green with a score of 12 to O. Then came the first defeat. ln a hard fought game Lowell managed to lower our colors by a score of 3 to 0. This defeat tied the league up and Cogswell played another game wtih Lick. Xllhile the boys played a great game they were unable to repeat the victory and Lick won with a score of 13 to 3. This game brought to a close, for Cogswell at least, a hard fought contest. Xlfhile our team did not repeat the victory of the year before they played great football and they deserve much praise for their efforts. Throughout the season the team was managed by E. Reuben Spunn and eaptained by Earl Sewall. Cogswell Football Squad. 1. Lyon, veteran, front rank, left. Height, 5 ft. 11 in.g weight, 170 lbs. Vffas aggressive and a hard man to tackle. 2.

Before the league season opened there were many practice games to help the team gain its form. Cogswell won its shares of these games. Although we were defeated in the tirst league game played, the team won the rest of the games against good, strong teams. Tliroughout the season Captain Pierson, our tiny six-footer, was gi Star at center and played in a very clever way, Marley, beside proving a capable manager, was also one ul the best players. llc scored many points for Cogs- well. Gibbons also was uniting those present when it came to playing a good game if basketball. lloldemann played a good last game and ran up a big score for the lllacl: and Green. .Xnother fast player was Zolot. lt was a pretty sight to see him in action. Klandich and lfowler did excellent work on the team. Sub-League Games. Cogswells first game was against Sacred Heart, The game started with a great rush and the fast pace was kept up during the whole game. Al- though the team forced Sacred lleart to the limit, the wearers of the lfllue and Nliliite won with a score of 32 to 26. ln the next game. that against Commercial, the Cogswell team was playing fine ball and defeated Commercial to the tune of 48 to 27. The third and last game was against Polytechnic, and 21: rattling good game it was. lloth teams were on the jump every moment of the time. It was Cogswells good condition that finally won the game with a score of 39 to 22. Weight Class Teams. The 120 pound basketball team played many hne games during the season. 1t only lost out to the winners of the league. The lineup was as follows: Baloun and Cordsen, guards: Owens, centerg Olsen and Torre, forwards. A The 130 pound team also played good basketball and was only defeated in the semifinals. The 1.30 pounders were: Powers and Fowler, guardsg Sorroco, centerg Zolot and Debenham, forwards. Baseball Although Cogswell did not win the league, they tried their best and would have been more successful but luck broke against them. The team was managed by Dutch Knittel and captained by Red Carlson. They did their best to try to help the team win. During the season Thompson, Knittel and Gibbons pitched good ball. Fowler played a fine game as catcher. The infield was composed of Carlson, first base, Sampson, second base, Thompson, third base, and Sorroco, shortstop. In the outfield the stars were Gibbons, Clisham, Powers, Mandieh and Hagen. The heavy hitters of the team were Knittel, Thompson and Gibbons. 120-LB. BASKETBALL TEAM 130-LB. BASKETBALL TEAM J.

Cogswell evened it up in the next lew innings, but Wilmerding soon went ahead again, and the score stood IO to 3 when linittel was replaced by 'llhompson. 'lQ'o1nmy's benders held the enemy rimless until the eighth, when a base on balls and two scratch hits gave Xtilinerding' two more runs. Cogswell found their batting eyes late in the game and scored two runs in the last frame. Cogswell, 25 Sacred Heart, 11. Then came the Sacred lleart game. The Cogswell team was weakened by the absence of several of the star players. 'lihey were unable to leave the school in time to play. .Ns usual linittel started the game for Cogswell. Later Gibbons went into the box holding' the heavy hitting Sacred Heart players down to no hits or runs. llowers made two sterling' catches in centerheld. Cogswell, 4: Commercial, 5. In the second game of the league, Cogswell lined up against Commercial. The game was a hard fought one. liirst one team was in the lead and then the Other. Cogswells batters could not get their batting eyes. Knittel started to pitch good ball nntil the sixth, when he was removed and Thomp- son put in his place. Gibbons and Clisham played an excellent game. The team as a whole played goocl baseball. ilk . iii! t Ill!

THE coosWELL 113 Tf3Cli '1'lll'O11gl101lt the year Cogswell has been very successful in all track meets. Last autumn Cogswell was victorious in the local sub-league. This spring Cogswell has kept up her winning streak by doing' well in all meets entered. ln the academic athletic meet Coejswell placed third, with but a few points separating her from first place. There were also points made at the interscholastic meets. This year's subleague track meet is to be held too late to be reported in ',l'nl-t L'oi:swl2i,l., but from form displayed so far it appears that the lllacli and Green will again win, the laurels. During' the year l'yne, Gnnzenclorfer :md lloldemann in the sprintsg Merriman, Gibbons and Klcl.arcn in the middle distances: Fuqua and Dun- can in the mile: llyne and Morris in the hurdles, and 'Peterson and Roberts in the weights, have been winners in the unlimited class events. O'l3rien scored many points in the weight class. Academic Athletic Meet. 1n the :Xcademic .Xtliletic meet Cogswell did very well. Gibbons ran a fine quarter mile and won second place. Fuqua secured a place in the mile, McLaren in the half, and Peterson in the discus. Roberts also secured a place in the javelin. Pyne ran a fine race in the hurdles and easily cap- tured a place in them. lint the best race of the day was the relay. In this event Cogswell tool: second place, pressing' the speedy Palo Alto team for first place. The members of the relay team were lioldemann, Pyne, Gunz- endorfer, McLaren, Peterson and Gibbons. 1'Ylien the meet was finished Cogswell had 21 points and third place. Track Interclass. In order to pick the team to represent Cogswell in the various spring track meets an interclass was held at the Park stadium on March 28th. Although the meet was a good one the new plan of giving handicaps did not work very well. All the races were run in good fast time. 1n the unlimited class Pyne, '14, was by far the best performer. As usual, he broke the tape first in the hurdles and sprints. Gunzendorfer, '15, and Peterson, '14, also showed up well. In the 100 pound class O'Brien, '14, won every event and this performance was repeated by Volosing, '15, in the 120 pound class. The meet was won by the '14 class for the fourth time in succession. It ran over the '15 class by a large score. The results and times were as follows: 100-pound Class. ' 50 yard dash--1Von by O'Brien, '14, Daly, '17, second, Santo, '17, third.

' As a verv good way to provide training for the track team, a dual meet was arranged with Humboldt Evening High in the Park stadium. Qnly about Six of Cogswell's track athletes were on hand to defeat Humboldt. SCHOOL SWIMMING TEAM Fred Gibbons, Lincoln Johnson, Henry Baohtold, Clyde Morris, Walter Bonnheirn, Eldrod Edwards, Captain Albert Zecker, Stuart Johnson, Manager THE COGSWELL 117 W7hile they forced llnmboldt to the limit, they were forced to be content with second place. As usual, Pyne was the star of the day, winning in good time all the events in which he started. l-lis work in the hurdles Was excellent. Fuqua and Peterson also made many points for Cogswell. The San Francisco Sub-League track meet is to take place after this paper has gone to print. This meet will bring to a close the 1914 track season and Cogswell intends to win the meet. Among those who are ex- pected to figure are O'l'lrien in the 100 pound class and Pyne, Ql'3oldemann, Merriman, Peterson, McLaren, Roberts, Fuqua, Gnnzendorler, Gibbons, Sampson and Duncan in the unlimited class. May they retain the cham- pionship cup! Swlmmmg Again Cogswells water dogs have done themselves proud. Under the capable management ol Stuart lohnson, the team has become one of our prides. Besides managing the team, johnson has also competed. During the past year Linc .lohnson and Ilachtold have scored many points. Swimming Interclass. .-Xs a means of picking a swimming team an interclass was held at the Lurline Baths. Manager S. ,lohnson had a large bunch of hsh on hand. The greatest number of points was made by H. liachtold. He was the winner of the 50, 100 and 220 yard dashes. Great things are expected of him in the future. Zecher was the winner of the 440 yard swim, while Marley swam otl with the 880. All the races were closely contested. Line johnson did not swim or perhaps several records would have been broken. The meet was won by the '15 class with a large score. Academic Athletic League Swimming Meet. In the A. A. L. swimming meet held on April 18th Linen johnson was again the star of the meet. 'XYith great ease Line swam off with the 220 and Ll-40 yard races. Another of our point winners was I-1. Bachtold, who, although he swam in fast company, showed his speed by taking a place in the 50 yard dash. Again l'Cap Edwards swam a nice race and reserved for himself a place in the 880 yard swim. Boldemann and S. John- son startled all by their fast relay laps. In the relay Lowell broke the record, so it is easy to see how hard Cogswell pressed them. Those who swam in the relay were Boldemann, Morris, Bachtold, Zolot, S. johnson and E. Hanson. . When the meet was over Cogswell had Won second place. I l1M.Mi.

Baloun THE COGSWELL IIQ Cross Country During the past semester the Cross-country of Cogswell has won every race it has entered. Many claim it is the hest team ever turned out in Cogswell. The members of this team deserve all the credit that is due them. The California interscholastic and the A-X. .'X. L. races were won by Cogswell. In the early part of the year, in order to pick the team to represent Cogs- well. an interclass cross-country race was held through the Park. The hrst five men to hnish were in the following order: lfirst, lfuqua, 'l6g second, Glennon, 'l6: third. Duncan, 'l-lg fourth, llaloun, ,161 fifth, Fowler, '16, The interclass was won by the '16 Class. Then came many hard hours of training and many were the trips taken along Corbett Road and little runs to San lose and thereabouts. In this way the men soon got in good condition. The first big' race to arrive was the A. .-X. L. After the race was over Cogswell had won the race and a big cup. In this race, the Hrst Cogswell man to finish was Fuqua. Isle secured second place. The next Cogswell runner was Duncan, in fourth place. The other Cogswell runners finished in the following order: llalonn. in fifth place: Glennon, in eleventh place: Fowler, in fourteenth place. Then came more days of training, and the fellows were ready for the California race. In the California interscholastic Cross-country run, Cogswell's represent- atives again brought first place to Cogswell. Although they ran against fast men, it merely served to bring out their own speed. In this race Fuqua again secured a second place. Cilennon ran a great race, securing sixth place. Duncan finished in eighth place, Fowler in twelfth place and Baloun in fourteenth place. By their victories the fellows showed what could be done by hard training. Let us hope the team may remain intact for the next season. ber, 120 THE COGSWELL School Records TRACK AND FIELD. ,iii UNLIMITED CLASS. 50-yard dash-R.
