Howard Hatfield EVER before has a Freshman class in the High School of Commerce had such a large number of talented young students as we have this term. In a general Way every one has a part in the school life. Many of our number sing, dance or play some musical instrument. Lewis Judnich played a musical selection on the accordion at the California Theatre. The Freshman entertainment was held March 31, under the direction of Melvin Dollinger, and was a huge success. The cast of Valentine's Vaudeville Agency was as follows: Thelma Odgers, Harry Leibel and Clyde Fredericks. They made a big hit, as did the people who tried out for positions. Our quartette-David Foley, George Wright, Ben Sachs and Tom Hansen, was especially enjoyed. VVe have organized teams in baseball and basketball. We played the Juniors, and surprised everybody by beating them. Emmet Whitehead was our sole rep- resentatlve on the football team, but with the entrance of Stuart Ross and numerous other huskIes', the Freshmen will be well represented In athletics. From the start, the Freshmen have made themselves felt, not only in athletics, but also In the soclal and academic life of Commerce. MELVIN DOLLINGER. KELLY JOHNSTON. l2Sl

He heard the footsteps ringing in the passage, die away. He heard the return of his servant. He did not wish to do anything but sit in his armchair and indulge in bitter thoughts. Not even the thought of being able to walk again in a short time seemed to matter to him. He even asked his servant not to bother him. Alone again, Philip became gloomy. His only thought was of Claire Gray, Today was her wedding day! No day had been more hideously black than this day. The thought that she was to marry another man seemed more than he could bear. Perhaps if he were well and strong, this might have been his wedding day. For a time she had insisted upon it, but he could not have her marry him and waste her best years caring for him. He thought of the time of the accident. How it happened no one exactly knew. It happened in a mine. He remembered glancing up and seeing the car nearly upon them. He had thrown himself on the track, receiving the full force of the injuries. The thought of whom she was going to marry puzzled him. Once she offered to tell him about it, but he did not want to know. He knew that the wedding was to take place at three o'clock. The fact that she had been able to fall in love again so soon hurt him most. He turned to her picture. He realized that she was soon to become another man's wife. How soon? He glanced at the clock. It was almost half-past two. In thirty minutes she would pass from his life. He was unaware of a knock on the door. He saw her figure as if in a dream. She had her wedding dress on. How wonderful she looked! She sat down close to where he was. How long would he have to sit there and smile? What they talked of he hadn't the faintest idea. He was merely aware that she was near him. Suddenly footsteps were heard. It was now three o'clock. Hurry, he exclaimed, or you will be late for the wedding. She looked at him and said, This is our wedding day. There was a knock at the door. The minister, her mother and the wedding party were there. She told them to come in. REBECCA GRAHAM. l30l . I
