THE LAIR world and won a gold medal. Not satisfied with jumping he became a member of the hurdle relay team which won second place in the C. A. C. meet. Coach Hudson returned to his place on the bench as Miss Mary Steeds rose to call forth those lionesses” deserving sports honors. Foremost in the list of names was Frma Dahlhauscn, who had caused quite a ripple in the swimming world. Her medals for the crawl and backstroke gleamed as the sun struck them. Erma stepped aside to make room for Frances Moody. Eleanor Scott, Angelyn Bogus, and Helen Fox. These girls moved back, and Miss Steeds called forward the basketball players, Lois Stewart, Helen Fox, forwards; Betty Bechtel and Eleanor Parry, guards, through many successful games against other homerooms. Miss Steeds then called forth Lois Altman, who had received recognition as a health contest participant when a cub. and William Novince and Helen Fox, who had won their places as healthiest boy and girl for the 11A grade. Amid a storm of applause those honored in athletics stepped aside. Mr. Whitney then stepped up to introduce Katherine Schneider, who in 1V28 fell into the deep swamp of Foreign Languages. Everyone thought she would be lost to the tribe forever. But, however, Katherine came through successfully, winning the French Medal in the city contest. Next in order came Ann Semerar who had set a record for all future sociology aspirants by making the highest score ever received in the mid-term sociology exam. Then,” continued Mr. Whitney, we have Sanford Ball who, as a cub, made excursions into the depths of the jungle and returned with many aviation trophies. Mr. Whitney smiled as he introduced Edward Murray and Cyril Levy. He w-as proud of the record they had made when they entered the forest of Math, where stolid guards stood arrayed in numerical garments in squads of add, subtract, times, and divide, with their lieutenants, Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry. These squads had caused much worry to the class but not to Ed and Cyril, who took by force all four, thus gaining first place in the Math division of the 12A power test. He then had the pleasure of recognizing Angelyn Bogus, w'ho had acquired the position of student teacher in chemistry—another victory for the tribe. She was the first girl to work as a teacher’s assistant, in the chemistry lab in the Collin wood Jungle. Barbara Scott, who, while still a 12B, wandered into the dense wilderness of literature capturing an award with her short story. Not content with this conquest, she allowed her lucky spirit to lead her into the deep woods of Obcrlin College, where the ancient Tribes of Knowledge dwelt. Here the chiefs of the Obcrlin Clan bestowed upon her the English Scholarship. Mr. Whitney, calling the five remaining leaders to the front declared that he looked with great satisfaction upon the achievements of Betty Bechtel, Norma l.ockncr, Katherine Schneider, Grace Reinhardt, and Ed Murray, who received honor pins for scholastic work. » 4 » Suddenly, just as Mr. Whitney concluded, the audience was disturbed by a commotion. Looking up they saw a grow ) of comrades hurrying towards them. The newcomers explained that as tiny were hunting tiny had peered through tin-trees and gazed upon the great open Meadow of the World. Tiny had seen— Dorothy Garbutt darning Edward Maurer’s socks, and now and then pausing to read a page from some weighty thesis beside her— Francis Solomon, finance manager for the Nason Bros, clothing concern, closing a business deal with J. C. Volmcr, philanthropist— Lucille Mills, dressed in barbaric orange and green lounging pajamas, sculping statues in her modernistic studio— [28]
