One night a conversation was overheard. The Tower Clock and the Man in the Moon were talking. Said the Man in the Moon, “queer sights I see. awful, beautiful, pitiful, stupendous. The nations at night and wonderous lands.” And the Tower ('lock replied. “Possibly you have seen great sights, but yours is a far off view while mine is the intimate, near and plain. “What have you seen in recent times? asked the Moon as the Clock chimed three. “I'll tell you a tale, that is true. Mr. Man in the Moon, if you will only listen awhile. “In cold November, on a chilly night. I saw three shadows slink from the gloom and halt, and peer around. 'All’s safe , said one and glanced about in all directions. “‘Come’, said another, It’s time you’re off. 4 Go,’ said the first, ‘put fear in the hearts of the June, 1022 THK TATTLER 2i tyrants and hope in the heart of the people’.” ’ e await you at the usual place, complete your task and hurry back’.” “With this the two shadows slunk away and left the one alone.” “It moved out unto your light Mr. Moon, and I saw him face to face, lie was young, and moderately well dressed and he carried a heavy suitcase. “He stared about, half fearfully, and then set off down the path toward the State building when a train whistled, far in the distance. The sound traveling in the quiet of the night sounded loud and very near. He shuddered, turned pale but went on.” “At the end of the path he stopped, before him lay the great building white, in the pale moonlight.” “One could see he was nervous, one could see he was inexperienced, and yet he was held on the spot by some invisible force of determination.” “A scene rapidly passed before his eyes, the building destroyed in the night, the consternation at the discovery of the ruins.” “The phrase, “fear in the hearts of the tyrants, hope in the hearts of the people,” passed through and through his mind.” “Then sharply another scene was outlined. They were not prepared to start a revolution. He saw the people working in the late evening to raise the extra taxes levied to replace the building.” “Pear in the hearts of the tyrants.” “Yes.” “Hope in the hearts of the people.” “No.” “He turned and strode away, toward the shores, where the quiet waves touched the land and there in the pale moonlight far from the hand of treacherous men, and very harm- less. he hurled the bomb into the sea. and turned his way with thoughtful steps to his moderate room in a moderate boarding house.” Said the Man in the Moon, if your story is true, you do see wonderous things, but you. Mr. Tower Clock, having struck, I must go on to Japan. ELIZABETH COSSITT. '23. A PROMISE MADE AND KEPT The dining parlors of tin Presbyterian Church of Oaks-wood were flowing over with human beings, members of the graduating class of ’12. of Oakswood High School. The members were seated at a long, rectangular table. Thomas Barry, the president of the class, was acting as the toastmaster. The greater part of the class had been called upon and had responded to toasts. But one part of the program still remained and the toast-master proceeded to it. “ We will be honored to have a toast from George Warren.” The person in question arose and spoke briefly on “Life s Prospects.” That little matter would not have seemed so important but for the fact that George Warren and Thomas Barry were firm friends. The banquet broke up and George Warren and Tom Barry escorted some girl friends to their homes. Then as they left the second one safely at her home, Tom eaught George’s arm and they swung down the street together. They had been “pals” for fourteen years; ever since the day in July, two freckle-faced youngsters had shaken hands and agreed never to tell who had broken the Armstrong side window, and it was still a secret. But that one small incident had ripened into a friendship, which was as strong as “The Rock of Gibraltar.” They were four years old at 22 THE TATTLER .lane. 1922 that time, now they were eighteen. Tonight had severed their connection with Oakswood High School. Tomorrow would find them in scattered parts, George to the city where he had secured a position on a newspaper and Tom to West Point, New York, where he was to enter West Point Military Academy. George’s ambition was to be an author while Tom wished to become an army officer. Tomorrow would find them, each on his own way to success or failure. They came to the gate of George's home. Farewells were exchanged and Tom continued on his way home. It was morning and the sun cast its splendid and heart-cheering rays upon the station in Oakswood. Few were present at this early hour. George was to take the 8:0fi west bound and Tom the one at 9:18 going east. lie had a good ten minutes privacy alone with his friend and then George had to leave to bid farewell to his parents. During this time Tom and George made a promise that each would meet the other in ten years on, July lf at 8 p. m. at the Harlem Hotel. Oakswood, no matter what circumstances they were in. The last word Tom had of George was as the train curved around ahead and George had his head out of the window, his mind concentrated on the beloved scenes far behind. Ten years passed. George, in the city of his youthful dreams, had lived up to all expectations. Ten years before he had entered a room on the extreme right of the building and on the ground floor. This was the reporter’s room, where “cub” reporters received the training which was to fit them for a journalistic career. Hut gradually George, the “cub” reporter had advanced, until now at the age of twenty-eight, he made his headquarters in a room behind plate-glass, the door of which bore the inscription, “George Warren, City Editor.” The copy-readers room was busy. Copy-readers and re porters were rushing in and out of the room, with manuscripts clasped in their hands which when, put into type, made “The Lakeview Daily News.” the best paper in the city. A few minutes later and the paper went to press. George sat back in his chair relieved. He held a sealed letter in his hand. He ripped it open hurriedly, but when lie saw the writing, his face became more tranquil and peaceful. The letter was from his friend, Tom Barry, on duty in Texas. As he read through it his face lost some of its hard lines and as he read on, he became more absorbed in it contents. Then he came to a paragraph which he read for the second time, pondering over its contents. It was as follows: “I am looking forward with pleasure in keeping that engagement made with you ten years ago. The general has granted me a furlough of a month. Only forty-five more days, “old top and 1 will see you and keep the promise made ten years ago, to meet you in the Harlem Hotel, Oakswood, on July l(i, at 8 p. m. You be there clear friend, and I will keep my promise. Yours very sincerely, “Tom”. George brushed his hair off his forehead. “To think I nearly forgot it he said, amusingly. Hut now I’ll be there too. Tom, “old pal. And he knocked the papers off his desk. Things were quiet at Fort Morgan. Mess was over and the officers were resting in their tents and their men doing whatever their active minds could find for them. In the tent of the commander of Troop H. was Tom Harry. On the chair nearby, was his friend Lieutenant Ralph Miller. The Captain was speaking to his friend. “And there's one more thing I wish to tell you, Ralph, June. 1922 THE TATTLER 23 I have a dale in Qakswood on July lf . The date was made ten years ago. Tomorrow, as you know, I go in pursuit of the dirty “gringoes” that killed Rogers. I do not know if I will return. If I don’t, I want you to write to George, telling him all. Will you do this for me Ralph?” “Most assuredly,” Tom. “But remember you're coming back. I’ll count on it anyway.” One week later, forty-seven survivors of Troop B rode back to Port Morgan. But their Captain was absent. They had met the “gringoes and defeat was theirs. Lieut. Miller faithful to his trust, wrote the sad letter home to the friend. One evening, about a week later, a man in tattered army clothes walked into Port Morgan. It was Tom Barry but how different from the one who had left. lie was weaker than before, he was pale, an unusual thing for Tom Barry, lie told his story that night. “My men were driven back. I was shot and left to die among the greasers, who didn’t see me for 1 crawled into the shade of a cactus bush. I ate nothing for two days. Then I started walking and made Fort Morgan in five days. “1 have my months furlough. 1 will see you at the appointed time. Congratulate me, George. Promoted to Major, so long, Tom.” This was an extract of a letter from Toni to George, but it never reached its destination. It went into Tom’s poeket there to stay. It was one minute to eight. George Warren sat at a table in the Harlem Hotel at Oakswood. He had come there, knowing full well that his friend was dead—just to keep his promise. As the clock in the town struck eight, lie heard a door open. George turned towards the door. His friend, Tom Barry stood in the doorway, with his smile of old. “Tom,” was all he could exclaim. The next minute, the bronzed hand of Major Barry’s was clasped to that of George Warren. Thev had kept their promises. MAXWELL LEWIS. BOOK TALK. A deep silence reigned in the dark Stu ly Hall, the hands of the clock crept slowly around to twelve, at last they pointed directly at it. the magic hour when tin gift of speech is given to everything. Through the long dark room a faint whispering, a rustling of leaves ami a crackling of paper from each desk. Gradually the sound grew louder and more distinct until it seemed that many small voices were uniting in a confusion of argument and protest. Near at hand from the dark depth of a desk a small voice arose. “What a terrible day this has been, it cried, “just the day before vacation and all my owner has thought of is how soon he can be free from me. as a result 1 have been thrown and banged until every leaf in my binding is loose. “I can well sympathize with you. Madam French Book,” came a reply from a neighboring desk. “My Geometrical dignity has been greatly offended today, usually my owner is very careful of me, but because 1 wanted to close up my covers in Geometry class I was rudely grasped by each side and my leaves and covers were bent until my back was nearly broken. I am sure I will be an inert mass hereafter.” On the left a very weak voice came faintly from a crowded desk. “My owner doesn’t know what waste paper baskets were made for. but insists on putting all old papers into me so that 1 am a ragged sight and can hardly find any of my topics.” 24 TIIE “For my part I eon si dor myself lucky, boomed a Chemistry book. “My owner never takes me home, gives me very little handling, and 1 am molested only about fifteen minutes daily. My pages are clean and new.” be proudly boasted. Is it possible that there exists a Chemistry book with such good fortunes? came a dampening voice. 1 am always laid right beside of the sink where every time the water is turned on I am given a generous bath. My complexion is ruined.” “You don’t know how relieved I am that vacation is here. a tired voice answered. “My mates and I are all carried home every day and even deprived of our rest by being studied far into the night. Our faces are disfigured by pencil marks and all our joints are weak from so much studying. 1 alone escaped from being carried home for study over vacation, but because of my overtime work last week. I was allowed to remain here.” Just then, far in the distance from a back lot on Sandusky street there came a prolonged wail which must have been a cock crowing. Immediately the whispering ceased, all sounds died away and silence reigned in the large room once more. BELLA BROWN, 22. ARIZONA. “Oh, indeed! I fail to see the necessity of such a thing. Who is she? Jean Marlowe was standing by the window in her room at Miss Overton’s school in New York City. Jean was the daughter of wealthy parents who lived in a small city in New Jersey. She was arguing with her roommate “Billy” Richards, the advisability of noticing a new girl who had recently arrived at Miss Overton’s. TATTLKR June. 1922 Joan was a leader among the girls at the School and if she chose to ignore the new girl most of her friends would also. Hilly did not like to argue with Jean but she did feel sorry for the girl who was very poor and had been sent lo the school by wealthy relatives, and was very home sick for her home in Wyoming. “Well, you may befriend all the poor girls you care to, hut I shall have nothing to do with her. Thus Jean dismissed the subject, and picking up her tennis racket left the room. Jean was a rather striking looking girl of seventeen, tall and with black curly hair and hazel eyes. Her mother as the wife of the wealthiest man in their city was a prominent society leader, and expected her’daughter to be like her. She had taught Jean to expect homage from every one. and to associate with only the wealthiest girls. In order that she might have an opportunity to meet the girls she wished her to. she had sent Jean to the fashionable girls school. Jean had always been fond of music and at the age of five had begun to study the violin. To Mrs. Marlowe it was only an accomplishment that would make her daughter more popular. Mr. Marlowe whenever he had been at home while Jean was practicing, thought that while playing the violin was the only time that Jean was her natural self. W hile he had not opposed sending Jean to school he often worried because he knew she would become the affected, snobbish, sort of girl her mother seemed to wish her to be. Jean wrote him telling of the new girl and that she intended to ignore her. The idea of such a person coming to the school! The letter worried Mr. Marlowe who had once been a poor, homesick boy at school himself. About two months later Jean gave a recital at the school. June. 1922 THE TATTLER Many people came, including a well known musical critic. Jean’s father who had come to New York for the event, knowing the critic was there asked his opinion of Jean’s playing. “Your daughter has talent, Mr. Marlowe.” The critic seemed to avoid comments on Jean’s ability further than this, but Mr. Marlowe was not an individual to be disregarded. ‘‘If she has talent, what is the trouble? Will she ever become an artist? She has studied under the best professors in the country, I will send her to Europe if you think it would he advisable.” The critic finally told Mr. Marlowe frankly what he thought, lie said that Jean had unusual ability, as to her ever becoming an artist he would not venture to say, but something unusual would have to take place if she did. He called her a cold fiddler.” A girl’s boarding school, too much money and too much attention had led Jean to think that her playing was above criticism. She played for praise, not for the love of playing. Iler technique was fine but there was no soul in her music. That June. Jean graduated and much against her wishes was taken to Arizona by her father. Mr. Marlowe left her in care of a family living not far from Flagstaff. “No. thank you, I do not care for dinner this evening,” said Jean. “Oh! my dear, after your long ride you must be hungry and we are to have a guest this evening, answered Mrs. Brown with whom Jean had stayed for two weeks now. “Thank you. but I am too tired to meet anyone this evening.” Jean went to her room. The minute the door was closed she threw herself on her bed and sobbed as only an unhappy girl can sob. She hated 2f the desert, everywhere she looked was desert, red colored, dreary desert. The Brown’s had coaxed her to ride over to Sunset Pass from which the San Francisco Peaks can be seen so plainly. The week before they had ridden for hours with nothing to see but the chocolate drops on the desert. True, the peculiar looking brown colored mountains did look like chocolate drops, but a box of Ragtime Chocolates would interest her more than the mountains. At the end of the journey, the painted desert, they had witnessed the famous Snake Dance given once a year by the Hope Indians. The Indians had spent weeks in collecting the largest, most poisonous snakes they could find. The dance was a very sacred affair to them. All during the dance one or more of the dancers would leave for a few minutes. Jean had learned that they were putting medicine on themselves. This medicine was a preparation known only to the nope Indians, and would prevent the snake bites from harming the men. Thinking of the many things she had seen in Arizona and of the seemingly happy lives led by the Browns, Jean fell asleep. The next morning she felt ashamed of herself for refusing to meet the Brown's guest the evening before and so she offered to help in the kitchen. It was a new experience for her and she was very awkward. As she was lifting a kettle of boiling water she tripped and dropped the kettle on Jimmy the twelve year old son of the house. “I’m awfully sorry. Jimmy. Docs it hurt?” anxiously inquired Jean. “Not in the least, it’s really a pleasant sensation to have boiling water poured on you.” replied Jimmy very politely. 26 tup: tattler June. 1922 In her excitement Jean dropped a letter which she had received that morning. Jimmy picked it up and as he did so he could not help seeing what was written on the paper. This is what he read “Tommy diet! of an overdose of Chloroform at ten this morning. Funeral to-morrow.” R. S. MARLOWE. “Oh! mother, no wonder Jean was nervous.” exclaimed Jimmy as he showed his mother the letter. When Jean next came into the kitchen Mrs. Brown looked at her sympathetically and said. “You poor girl, why didn't you tell me?” “Now. just you keep your lovely self out of this kitchen,” said Mrs. Brown. “How old was he?” asked Jimmy. “Hush. Jimmy,” cautioned Mrs. Brown as she conducted the puzzled Jean to her room. Everyone was most kind to her. The next morning she came to the breakfast table laughing. “Did you find a letter of mine from home? 1 have lost it,” said Jean. “I found the one about Tommy, that's the reason we are so sorry for you. lie was your little brother, wasn't he?” asked Jimmy. •R. S. Marlowe is my small brother Richard, and Tommy is or rather was his hull pup, the homeliest and worst tempered dog ever received into the l osom of a respectable family. Tommy has cast a shadow over all my vacations for more than a year. He killed my kitten, and ate my Venetian lace collar. 1 hoped he would have Italian indigestion but lie didn’t. He stole door-mats for blocks around. Property on the street appreciably declined, for prospective purchasers refused to buy so long as “Dick” Marlowe kept a dog. Often “Dick” has rescued him from would be dog murderers, but this time I suppose he committed some supreme enormity, probably chewed up the neighbor’s baby or one of father’s Persian rugs.” The relieved Brown family laughed heartily, with the exception of Jimmy who said that when there was a death if only that of a dog he could not understand how anyone could laugh. Weeks passed and Jean began to feel the lure of the desert. She enjoyed wandering over the desert and examining the grotesque rocks, many of them as high as a one story house. The refreshing air. the miles, and miles of land covered with nothing but God's handiwork, the kind, wide awake westerners who seemed never to be jealous of one another, all made Jean adopt a different outlook on life. She began to realize what a snob she had been. In a letter home to her father she said: “My enthusiasm is just cutting its eye teeth. Arizona is wonderful but riding a mountain burro, horrors! There is a lurch to larboard, then a lurch to starboard with a sort of ‘shiver my timbers’ interlude.” During the following week Jean and the Brown guest she had refused to meet, Jack Vincent, a handsome mining engineer, who was an Easterner and one year out of college, became good friends. They took long rides into the Canyon and over the desert. She often wondered what her Eastern friends would think if they' could hear some of their conversations. They were not at all little cut and dried exchanges of compliments, on the contrary they discussed many things besides their own petty affairs and often got into heated arguments. In fact Jack remarked to himself one day that if the young lady (meaning Jean) had ever been impolite enough to stick out her tongue he would at present be a cinder. June. 1922 THE TATTLER 27 One afternoon as the two were sitting on a rock near Clear Creek. .lack asked her if she would do something for the people of Winslow, a nearby town. He was helping them get up a benefit concert and although they had several talented people on the program they wished her to play. Several people had heard that she was a fine violinist. “This is a wonderful chance to do something for these western people,” said Jack. Jean promised she would play. Why hadn’t she ever played since she came to Arizona? At last she could in a small measure repay the kindness shown lier. The night of the concert Jean was very nervous. All thoughts of personal glory had left her mind, but she was worried for fear she would not please her men friends. She played as in a dream and scarcely heard the hearty applause, but the look in Jack’s eyes and the words of praise. “It was wonderful, little girl,” which Mr. Brown whispered to her. She had hardly recognized her own tones. On trying to please others she had at last forgotten her own self while playing. There was soul in her music now. She was feeling just a bit lonesome because it was the first time she had ever played in public without her mother or father. Suddenly she heard a beloved voice and looking saw her father standing with outstretched arms. The Browns had telegraphed to him. and unknown to Jean he had heard the concert. She disliked to leave Arizona and promised she would return for visits us often as possible, but at last, she was going home. One year in Arizona had given her the longed for something which the critic had said she lacked. The east and a career as a violinist at last. MAXINE MORGAN, 24. THE ADVENTUROUS “GOB John Bingles. Esq., of Peppersburg, Iowa, had decided to join the navy. He had seen a poster at the post office which said, '‘Uncle Sam wants you.” After a deep deliberation of ten minutes in which he signed the questions pro and con he had decided the sailor’s life was the only one for him. He came from good salt water stock for his grandfather had captained a prairie schooner across the plains in 1849. Therefore he at once set out for the nearest recruiting station and tiled an application. The recruiting officer asked him. “How much does a 16 pound shot weigh?” “I dunno,” replied Johnny. “Well, then, what time does the twelve o’clock train go?” asked the officer. “Oh. twelve pounds,” replied Johnny, a great light dawning upon him. After this Johnny and several other young men with the same desire were shipped Parcel Post to Newport News and there were assigned to the nearest and most modern battleship ever constructed. “The Ford Flash,” guaranteed non-sinknhle if kept water tight. This ship was three hundred feet long with a narrow tapering bow measuring fifty feet across and easily ran at the amazing speed of eight knots per hour. It was armed with four twenty centimeter guns, fore and aft, capable of throwing a sixteen pound shell a distance of twenty-five feet. It was also coated with rubber to the depth of three feet. Its motive power consisted of four Ford engines guaranteed not to 28 THE TATTLER June. 1922 rust, “bust.’' wear, or tear. It was also assisted by sails. After being assigned to a berth Johnny began a tour of inspection which was called short by the ensign’s order, “All hands on deck.' Johnny, eager to make a good impression, hastened to the deck and bending over placed his hands on the deck. Then some impudent rascal tramped on them and the ensign seeing Johnny's attitude charged across the deck with a roar of wrath and propelled Johnny into the nearest air shaft with his foot. After he had climbed out the ensign ordered him to remove the gang plank. Johnny procured an axe and standing in the middle of the plank at last by dint of hard labor succeeded in cutting the plank in two which action precipitated him into the water. After swallowing about a gallon of water he climbed aboard again. In the meantime the rest of the crew having completed Walter Camp’s “Daily Dozen,” the captain shouted, “Weigh Anchor.” Frantically, Johnny dashed about the ship looking for the scales but could not find them so lie wandered about until lie was ordered to run up the sails, lie informed the officer in charge that this was an impossibility because he was no monkey. The officer replied that he certainly was not. seemingly belonging to the baboon variety. He was then assigned to the engine room as gasoline passer. By this time the ship had progressed fifteen miles, a new record for the navy. At last after a hard day of labor at the engines came the order for mess. The sailors were served a very good banquet by the Red Cross via the radio route and then were ordered to turn in. Johnny didn't know what this order meant so he waited and watched the other sailors. lie saw an officer approach and say to the new sailors. “Sling your hammocks here.” Hearing this Johnny heaved his hammock in that direction ami bowled over six sailors. They immediately retaliated by duel ing him in the bilge. After this little adventure Johnny slung his hammock in the approved fashion and attempted to crawl in. After performing several acrobatic feats he tied himself in and fell into a loud slumber. It seemed to Johnny that he had been sleeping about five minutes when suddenly the fire gong sounded. He twisted himself from the rope with which lie had tied himself in and dashed to the nearest fire hose. He turned it on full blast and proceeded to wash the ship thoroughly and in so doing dampened the spirits of the crew considerably. Hearing a loud shout from the direction of the captain's quarters Johnny twisted the hose in that direction and provided that worthy individual with a shower bath. Finally about dawn they succeeded in impressing the fact upon Johnny that there was no fire but that the alarm had been given merely for drill. The next day about noon the lookout in the engine room sighted a pirate ship and they gave chase. With their giant guns making things merry for the pirates they soon overtook them and threw the grappling hooks aboard. Then Johnny dashed aboard the pirate ship swinging a huge knotted towel. With one swing of his terrible weapon he prostrated a dozen pirates. Then the champion bean eater of tin pirates swatted the captain of the “Flash” across the mouth with a banana peel. The captain fainted. Johnny with great presence of mind dashed up to the referee and called fifteen minutes time for lunch. After this intermission they began to fight again. Johnny filled one of the guns with marshmallows and then plastered the pirate ship with them. About seventeen pirates were knocked unconscious by the terrible pellets and the remaining pirates forfeited the fight. As the gobs were dancing up and down celebrating their June. 1922 THB TATTLER 29 prreat victory, one of them accidentally kicked a hole in the “Flash” and the sea began to pour in. After careful computation the ensign guessed that the ship would sink in six months or a year and must be abandoned immediately. Johnny hastened to the nearest life raft and began to pile on Heinz's 57 and Campbell's at a great rate. He also took some root beer and Coca Cola, then he shoved off. The raft hit the water bottom side up with a loud splash but he did not let this bother him because lie had stuek each can on with some gum. The next day about noon feeling somewhat hungry, he reached under the raft and brought up two cans of soup. Then he made a most horrible discovery, he had forgotten a can opener. Heedless of bending them he knocked the cans about on the raft but could not get at the contents. He could not drink the pop because he would have to break the bottles and this was prohibited by law because there were too many punctures received from broken glass. That night Johnny awakened just in time to see a large ship sailing by. Frantically he waved his arms and then standing on his hands waved his feet but was not able to attract their attention. Finally after the ship was a mile away he remembered that lie had forgotten to yell. He made up for lost time at once but to no avail. By this time Johnny had thought of an excellent idea. After taking a drink from the spring in his watch he sailed back to the abandoned “Flash.” He looked about the ship and found the cabin boy sleeping peacefully in the captain's quarters. Johnny routed him out and nominated him to the engine crew. He decked himself out in the captain’s uniform and gave orders in a gallant manner. After a peaceful night’s sleep and a good feed In- told the cabin boy how to fire the engines and ordered him to do it. The boy descended to the engine room while Johnny mounted the bridge. Suddenly there was a terrific explosion and the cabin boy and Johnny mounted skyward at an amazing rate. However, as they were descending they fell in a seaplane and were saved from getting wet. suffering only a broken rib and one broken toe. The plane conveyed them back to port and after Johnny recovered he was decorated with a tin medal for being the champion bonehead of the naw and was then assigned to a submarine as deckhand.

SALUTATORY ADDRESS The class of nineteen twenty-two presents itself to you at this time, for graduation to greater service among you. In its behalf I welcome you to these exercises. Tonight we reach that goal towards which we have been striving. We are now about to advance into a wider field of life. We must east aside our school privileges and pleasures, only to hold them firmly clasped in our memories. We have chosen. “The Will To Win. as our motto with TATTLER 31 which we set out towards goals of success and service. We have invited you, our parents and those whom we hold most dear, to unite with us in celebrating our commencement exercises. We feel that with your kind regards and best wishes for the future this occasion is indeed auspicious. Classmates, let tonight be the brightest and happiest event of our High school course, and although, the members of the class of nineteen twenty-two reach the parting of the ways in a short time let us be of good spirits and rejoice in the significance of this commencement. Let us ever be. kind and good, industrious and helpful and give to the world all that we have. In order that we may be respected as ideal Americans, that we may be looked npon as worthy representatives of oor own C. II s In order to bring before you certain ideals of character I have chosen as the subject of my discourse the life of William Dean Howells. The Howells homestead is situated ar our county seat, Jefferson; so we of this region are rightfully proud of the honor which William Dean Howells, known as the ' Dean of American Literature” and ranking with Edgar Allen Poe, has obtained. There is a lesson for us in the story of a country boy who rose to the highest position of American journalism. On May 11. 1020. when the news came to us that he had passed away, there came to us the realization that from our midst passed one whom the world paused to show great honor and reverence. It was not only the extent and variety of his writings that made him thus pre-eminent but human kindness, wide sympathy, and common interest in all that relates to true art and social progress. 32 THE The old debate between realism and romanticism in fiction found Mr. Howells ranged on the side of realism. But he never interpreted realism to exclude imagination, much less humor. He interpreted life as he saw it but he well knew that fancy, idealism, and romance itself may be a part of reality. Mr. Howells was a man of native courtesy, of sound and wide culture and of fine perceptions, and generous impulse. He was a notable figure in American life as well as American literature. At a dinner given in his honor on his seventy-fifth birthday and attended by four hundred of his fellow writers and personal friends, he expressed some of his ideals in these words: “All of human life has turned more and more to the light of democracy, the light of equality. Literature which was once of the cloister and the school has become more and more of the forum ami incidentally of the market place. But it is actuated now by as high and noble motives as ever it was in the history of the world and I think that in turning from the vain endeavor of creating beauty and devoting itself to the effort of ascertaining life it is actuated by a clearer motive than before.” I have given this passage because it expresses so many ideal attributes of character. He strove for truth and realism. tried to make a practical appeal to a practical people and caught the spirit of democracy thru which our people arc reaching a higher brotherhood. These ideas put into daily practice in the course of a long life raised one of our number to fame and I have chosen to mention them believe-ing that a great lesson is here shown. In explaining to a friend the manner in which he worked. Mr. Howells said: ‘‘I write in the morning, beginning at nine o'clock and TATTLER June. 1922 quitting at noon. There is always more or less to do In the afternoon, the reading of proofs and so on. A thousand words is a good day’s work.” A thousand words a day is a mark of energy. 1 write every morning.” he said. “Work lias become a vice with me. et as Thackeray said. 1 go at it reluctantly. At times there are moods when one can work better than at other times, but it is dangerous to wait for them. I work every where, even on the ears and on the shipboard when I travel.” Air. Howells had a great capacity for work. He worked hurriedly yet his work did not show signs of haste. He was so thorough that his lines are very easy to read. In my mind this characteristic of Mr. Howells, the capacity for doing work and the manner in which he did it, was one of his greatest attributes to success. A young newspaper man in New York, wishing to dramatize one of Mr. Howell s books, called at his apartment for some advice. Being very inexperienced and naturally embarrased at the thought of being in the presence of a great man and fearing that he would annoy Mr. Howell, he was somewhat nervous. As the maid, ushered him into a shady, brown room the windows of which gave a view upon Central Bark, he became suddenly weak with awe. And I think what resulted may best be told in his own words. He said. “Probably remembering the trepeditions of a certain Ohio boy of sixties making his first call upon Nathaniel Hawthorne and knowing how much worse I must feel after what I had done. The gentle Howells neither kept me waiting long alone nor appeared himself suddenly ami all at once. With unforgettable tact he had commissioned his daughter to come in first with apologies for his delay. June. 1922 THE TATTLER So that where presently I found myself shaking hands with a stout little pink and white gentleman whom 1 seemed to have known all my life, my pulse was fairly normal. Except for being coatless and in a white outing shirt he was just like his pictures and for all the shrewd chinkiness of his eyes they had a look which I can only think of as incredibly sweet and clear. His voice had a genial softness as tho there were twins asleep in the next room. lie was kind to me. he encouraged me. lie sympathized with me and in places where my play was extremely rough he criticized it. but in a way which had no touch of satire. I liked him immensely and right there I discovered something apart from fame, but of even greater proportion. It was not his books, his work, his position or his reputation. It was his personality. The person from whom I quote ends here and L mention the following as my own point of view. A busy man who will stop his own work and find time to encourage a beginner and help him get a start is displaying a fine example of charity. It is truly putting into practice. “As ye would that men do unto you so do ye even so unto them.” In closing 1 hold up to you this thought that a word of encouragement to our fellow men and a word of brotherly love is the greatest mark of character and the highest mark of service. PAUL F. SHEEHAN. CLASS HISTORY. Hark! the bells are pealing forth the end of another school year. Yes, and the Senior year of the class of 22 Can it be possible that the valiant and illustrious class of ’22 is soon to depart from the halls of C. II. S. and no longer 2?. be an active part of that great institution which has meant so much to all of us. and whose memories, we will cherish the rest of our lives. It was only four years ago that we first passed through the portals of learning of ('. II. S. and, with shrinking timidity and obvious verdure were we observed and freely commented upon by the upper classmen who failed to see in us the insignia of our future greatness. It did not take long however for us to become acclimated to the High school atmosphere and our class early in its career began to prove itself a very necessary part of the High school. In athletics we early took our stand and furnished some excellent material for football, baseball, track and basketball. In fact, there were no worthy movements nor any of the various High school activities which did not receive the loyal support from all the members. The goal which we have reached was attained through hard and strenuous efforts coupled with the many good times that are as much a part of our school life as the former. So it is with great pride that we submit the following facts to be recorded in the annals of C. II. S. as an example to what a real life class should be and that future classes may refer to us as a guide stone to their success. Due credit must be given Lome Campbell our class president, who faithfully executed his various duties in such a way as to win the admiration of all. Hut we fear that a part of his cheerful disposition must be attributed to the sunny influences of Springfield. The medal for honors belongs to Ruth Turner. Domestically speaking, Ruth is very much inclined toward “The Kitchen; ’ but intellectually speaking, she far outshines us all and we are proud of her as our Valedictorian. .Tack of all trades and master of all, is Paul Shee- THE TATTLER June. 1922 U han, the Salutatorian. As a debater, he has no equal: in theatricals, he is a second John Barrymore; and in the operetta his role of the eat far surpassed anything ever staged in C. II. S. Running a close second to Paul, but not to Truey, is Neil Mott, whose place as drummer can never be tilled, and whose manoeuvres in the class play as leading man will go down as a great milestone in dramatics. The history of the following: Pearl Rinehart. Charlotte Eddy. Gladys Oreutt. Lucille Holden and Eftie Dietz is one that will insure them of a great future in the commercial world, having proved their ability and efficiency in the commercial department in High school. “Faithful Johnny!” That might reveal a little secret whispered among the fairer sex that Lillian Whipple is busily engaged tilling a hope chest. But her hopes arc somewhat censored by Emma Zeller who thinks that that is rather young in life for such aspirations. Raymond Smith, yes. a very likable young man. who has made himself famous in football, basketball, and track. His strongest point is Kingsville Normal—private tutoring we understand. Another young man who is equally as interested in Kingsville Normal is Warren Fades. The beginning of this interesting chapter dates back to the eighth grade when Warren asked Edna Sawtell to be his “steady”. That their steadiness has well been proved needs no further comment. Edna has taken her stand in the pedagogical world and Warren has won us fame in track. Sad as it may seem one of our young ladies interests also seems to be “Looming” in the same direction. This is none other than Dorothy Lewis. La Vera Stoneman. Beulah Brown, Leona Steadman, and Eulala Lewis, pride themselves on their antiquity, for what could be more antique than four years of au antiquated sub- ject like Latin. While coming from across the water is our bonnie lassie, Reta Saville whose part in our history occupies no small place. As an all around girl she stands one hundred per cent, and the spirit and pep of C. II. S. is never on the wane when she is around. Speaking of managing, who is more capable than Grant Eighinv. whose ability has been so nblv demonstrated as Tattler Manager. Of course we must not forget to make mention of his efficient assistant. Victor Pinches. Without him we are not so sure that Grant would have been such a successful manager. In athletics we have proved ourself true sportsmen and have helped win many banners of which C. H. S. is very proud. Three of our members who have played prominent parts are, Thomas Goulding, Ilmari Kananen, and George Wood. Special mention should be made of George our four letter man, for not many classes can boast of the same. Al-tho Ilmari was on time for every game it was rumored that he needed an alarm clock attached to his hooks to save himself the many “bawlings out” and black looks that he encountered when entering the class room late. Such questionable characters in our history as Emma Benson. Lydia Payne, and Delia Toppari. Always on time, very quiet, causing us no small amount of worry and constantly impressing our instructors as model students. And here is another, Dorothy Westover who ranks high in the eyes of her teachers. For those terribly secretive personages have entrusted her with many u mysterious manuscript to type thus proving her qualifications as a stenographer unquestionable. .May success and fame fall at her door. Of our mid-year graduate, Paul Holt is now enrolled at Kent. Paul and Cleo Rhoades have developed truly philosophical minds, and are the Socrates and Plato of our class. June. 1922 THE TATTLER Virginia Dietz and Inez Stone might well be classed together as they both have taken their parts in the Senior play and proved themselves real actresses. Howard Irish is the pride of his fellow classmen because he always convinces them that they are wrong and he is right. And even in baseball he is a big sticker. Alfred Slater also possesses a convincing manner, having won his laurels in debate. And Lewis Qreeuman, the prophet has prophesied great futures for these boys. A rather loquacious young lady is Frances Appleby. Frances always believes that much can be accomplished through cooperation as is shown by her always asking permission to speak in the study hall which means the entire period. Despite all her misdemeanors she has proved herself a truly loyal and capable member. Mention must be made of two talented people. Helen Laizure and Isabell Lee. Helen, as May Queen occupied her seat of honor with no small degree of dignity and majesty. She has at times proved somewhat disloyal, as her main interest seems to be in Cleveland; but we can overlook this since Helen never at any time shirked her class duties. Isabell our class poet well deserves the reputation she has made for herself. We are always glad to have her dec end from her poetical heights and join with us common folk. You all know that “The Violet” is our class flower. The selection being due to the exclusive taste of Raymond Kinner. Cheer up Ray, we all agree with you that flowers and jewelry go together. Look out! here comes another member. Bernice Humble. Full of pep and always ready to boost C. II. S. As leading lady in the Senior play she is a star, and—but Bernice has been too loyal a member to reveal any of her “so-called” frivolities. Another peppy girl is Leota Babbit, always busy and her zeal accomplishes great things. We have in our midst a preacher’s son. Wilbur Robertson. Yes. and what a story Minerva could tell if she could only speak. The way he has wasted his valuable time leaning on the railing by Minerva with a certain red haired Junior, has had a marked effect on Wilbur and his studies. However. despite this failing he is worthy of commendation. Always a loyal supporter of school activities, an active member of the 11 i Y Club and one who will be missed greatly by the student body. Our mathematical stars can easily be named Ellen Robbins and Linda Hokkanen. We will be forever grateful to them for their kind assistance in helping us over many a geometrical plane that otherwise might have been our fatal downfall. The two last but not least who complete this chapter are. Laurel (laugh and Malcolm Peters. Laurel has spent the greater part of his career singing. “Its a Long. Long Bridge to Cross to East Conneaut.” The fact that he has not weakened in this great undertaking shows that no task in the future will be too great for him to master. Malcolm is a splendid young man, ever ready for a good time and eager to do his bit in making a success of every activity. Limited time and space prevents me from giving you any more facts in regard to this class. Considering our many sterling qualities our success is quite assured, and each one bids fair to carve for himself a splendid future. And when our history has become a milestone in the history of ( H. S. may our successors follow our example and leave behind as good a record. EVA GUNION. THE TATTLER Juno. 1922 CLASS WILL.

VALENDICTORY ORATION It was the War Camp Community Service, (which was) organized at the appeal of the government, (to the Playground Association) that made every town a home town and a safe town for the soldier and sailor; that made hospitality perform a ministry that heartened and strengthened the warriors of the nation. The organized war-time community taught the value of team work; it crushed caste; and. above all. it initiated ALL of the members of the community into the Fellowship of Those Who Serve. Then when the war ended the camps were demobilized and the money no longer needed for that purpose, it was decided that the fairest course would be to utilize that money in such a way that the persons who gave it would derive the benefit, even though indirectly. Therefore, the Community Service movement started, its objects being to utilize for peace-time purposes the |ualities and agencies that made America invincible in war. Someone has said that the man who is satisfied in his community, whose community life makes for contentment, is a man who generally believes that there are no govern- TATTLER Juno. 1922 mental ills which cannot be cured and he is usually minded to exert his best efforts to remedy them, believing that to promote the welfare of his community is to promote the welfare of the world. Community Service, although a comparatively new movement, seems to have such a purpose. The program of work as outlined by the local Community Service organization at the beginning of last year was not one which promised an endless chain of activities to start with but rather one which started slowly and has been gradually gathering momentum. During the summer months the activities were confined chiefly to work of an athletic nature. Three baseball leagues engaged the leisure time of over 300 boys in the community. An outstanding feature of the play was the merit system under which the games were conducted and which emphasized sportsmanship and reliability in preference to the mere winning of the game. Two community playgrounds were also established under the supervision of trained recreational leaders, where folk dancing and organized play were taught to the children. For the past two years a May Festival has been conducted under the auspices of the local Community Service organization, the greater number of our school children participating. Each grade had a share in the fete, whether dance or drill: and the proficiency which was displayed and the effect produced reflected credit not only upon those directly in charge but also upon the Community Service organization. On the Fourth of July about 400 community-spirited citizens celebrated the one hundred and twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of Conneaut in the form of an historical pageant depicting the high spots of her history. June. 1922 THE TATTLER 41 For those in the community whose unused resources can best find expression in dramatics the Community Dramatic League has been organized which has uncovered hidden talent of people of unusual ability. About thirty people, representing the religious, fraternal, and civic organizations of the city, derived the benefits of the services of the dramatic specialist who conducted a dramatic institute: so that these representatives might in turn convey their enhanced talents to their organizations and thus eliminate the expense of contracting for a professional coach. Another phase of recreational activity of a more aesthetic nature is the new music movement revealing the talent and ability of the young people in which public interest and approval are enthusiastically manifested. The Music Memory Contest was inaugurated in the schools for the purpose oi encouraging a love of and appreciation for good music. There are also other features of interest, such as a volley ball team composed of local business men, a Camp Fire Girls’ Club, a Girls' City Club, ami community basket ball teams. There is no ritual for Community Service just as there is no ritual for friendship. It is non-sectarian, non-partisan, non-rigid. It has nothing to sell; nothing to give away except the benefit of its extensive experience in teaching communities to find themselves. Let us not lose the fine spirit of enthusiasm and of common purpose which we learned when we united for the great and holy purpose of winning the war and let us pull together always for a better America and a friendlier home town. A study of this movement but serves to show the trend of the times whose watchword is now as ever before: “Not in vain the distance beckons. Forward, forward let us range; Let the great world spin forever Down the ringing grooves of change. To you, Members of the Faculty, we wish to express our sincerest gratitude. It is impossible for you to discern how valuable your influence has been, but let us hope that in the course of a few years the class of 1922 will so stand forth as to reveal of how much value your efforts in our behalf have been and thus by our successes we may be able to show our appreciation of your efforts in our behalf. At the present time our only way of showing that is to offer you our sincerest thanks. Classmates of 1922, we now come to the realization that this is the last time we shall meet together as fellow-students. It brings with it a commingled feeling of joy and sadness—joy because we have reached the goal for which we have been striving; sadness because of the severing of long and intimate companionships. Hut even as this night will become a faded picture in our memory, the friendships formed here will live on to enrich our lives. OH, FLY. Oh. every fly that skips our swatters. Will have five million sons and daughters, And countless first and second cousins; Of aunts and uncles, scores and dozens, And fifty-seven billion nieces: So kuock the blame thing all to pieces.

First we learn to walk, then talk, later add, and still later quadratics. And still we must not halt. So many times it would be so easy and comfortable to just stop going—to quit, especially when things go wrong. But to quote Robert Service: ’•Don’t be a piker, old pard! dust draw on your grit, it’s so easy to quit: It's easy to erv that you’re beaten—and die: It's easy to crawfish and crawl; But to fight and fight when hope’s out of sight— Why.—that's the best game of them all!

There arc so many dresses and hats to attend to. besides practicing for the Senior Play, which is going to be very good. We will ho members of the Alumni in such a short time. It is rather hard to think of never coming back to school to sit in the old seat in the Study Hall, to slip out of school by the Gym door, and all those other things which help to complete school life. I suppose at Syracuse the girls are fussed over their graduating affairs. ITow is Alice Breen? Please tell her for me that her bobbed hair is adorable. Does she debate at Syracuse as much as she did at C. II. S. ? Did Clara go back to school? We haven’t seen Clara since way back when she attended our (Alma Mater.) Bob Brydle. the precocious child, is attending Miami. We know from experience that an attack of palpitation of the heart swept over the school.

The C. II. S. team made a fine record for itself in the county this year. It is our honest opinion that we had a team that could “clean up” on anything in the county. The team won four out of five games in the county league losing one game to llarhor by a 7-0 score. It was this C. II. S. team that beat Ashtabula for the first time in five years. A fact over which we may be justly proud. The team gathered in 127 points to their opponents 112 during the season of nine games. Graduation this year will take some of the main props out from under the team but will still leave a nucleus for a good team for the season of 1022. The loss of “Skeety” Smith, is probably one of the greatest losses for the team. He has played the fullback position regularly for two years and his line bucking cannot be equalled by any backfieid man in the county. henever it was absolutely necessary to make a couple of yards, it was “Give it to Skeety “ and in several games it was absolutely necessary most of the time. Skeety, made a touchdown against each of the two hardest teams played during the season, namely Academy and Haven, in each case he carried the ball half the length of the field for the tally. George Wood completes his fourth year at C. II. S. this spring and next years' team will have a difficult job in filling the Center position that “Woody” took care of in such fine shape. The coaches and newspaper reporters of the county picked George for the center position on the my- FOOTBALL TEAM June. 1922 THE thieal All-County team. This speaks for itself. George was not known to make a had pass during the season. “Hump'' Campbell’s graduating this year leaves an opening on the end of the line. This was Lome’s first year on the regular team. He was one of the two players who were in the game from the time the opening whistle blew at Jefferson until the final whistle blew at Academy. Wood and Campbell did not miss one minute of play during the season. “Hump” changed defeat into victory when he got away with one of “Skeetv’s” passes in the Bula game. Brace finished the job by annexing 9 more points to the touchdown made by Campbell. Lome will be missed next fall. Kananen will be absent when the roll is called next fall, leaving a position at ‘ half’’ open. Kananen played a wonderful game at half this year hut was hurt in the Haven game and could not play much afterward but his good record at the first of the season won him a position on the All-County eleven. “Ken’’ Herrick is another football man to be numbered among the missing next fall. This was “Kens” first year and he played a fine game at the position of guard. “Slousky” Goulding is another member of the varsity team that leaves C. 11. S. this year. Tom played a great game at tackle and his loss was greatly felt after the Bula game, for blood-poisoning developed in his arm and he was unable to play the last two games. Tom is a fellow of few words but he is not a fellow of few actions which statement mar be vouched for by fellows who played against him. Tom’s position will be hard to fill. “Jack” Robertson as manager of the team displayed his executive ability in the masterful way that he managed the team. “Rubbers” would make a good “shock absorber” TATTLKR 51 for lie knows how to take the “bumps”. But that's part of the game. There are still left an excellent group of players about whom next year’s team will be built. They are Captain .John Brace, Lewis Smith, Tom McKenzie, Howard Morton, Otto Steele. Lauri Kitari, Xeil Woodworth and possibly Dick Taylor. Below are the scores of the games played during the 1921 football season: Conneaut 48. Jefferson 13. Conneaut 0. Painesville 9. Conneaut 7. Geneva 0. Conneaut 7. Kayen 42. Conneaut 0. Harbor 7. Conneaut 21. A ust in burg 10. Conneaut 16. Ashtabula 6. Conneaut 21. Meadville 0. Conneaut 7. Academy 25. The class of 1922 wishes Captain Brace and his crew the best of luck and hope that they will better this year’s record in the county by one game, and add a football banner to the C. H. S. “hall of fame.” THE BOYS' BASKETBALL SEASON. The school year is fast coining to a close and soon many students will have graduated from good old C. II. S. never more to hear Miss Kahler say, “I wish to see the following people in my oftiee as soon as you have a vacant period.’’ Among these students leaving will be some members of the Basket Ball Team of 1921-1922. They as well as the others are just starting on the first lap of the great game of life GIRLS’ BASKET BALL June. 1922 THE TATTLER 53 which is likened in many respects to the Basket Ball Team which recently closed a very successful season. Now. my friends, let us follow the activities of this team from the time of the first call for practice until the night of March 18. 1922. when after the smoke of battle had cleared on the Oonneaut-Bula game, Conneaut was proclaimed the Champion Team of Ashtabula County. Coach Kennon’s first call for practice was answered by about forty fellows, every one of whom was determined to fight his best. Time passed, valuable time, for the season was about to open. A squad was picked. This squad was made up. Captain George Wood. Raymond Smith. Ilmari Kananen. Thomas (budding. John Burdick. Waino Kaup pila. John Brace, Waino Kolehmaincn. William Smith and Lauri Ritari. Burdick and Kauppila did not join us until mid-year and their coming certainly strengthened the team as was proved later on. The squad kept plugging ahead, rounding into condition, and on the night of Jan. fi. after previously losing to the Community Five and winning from the Ex-Highs in the two weeks before, handed the Purple and Cold from Harbor a 19 to 0 defeat. With the first county game won by a handy margin the squad looked fine for the title, but with a seemingly straight road ahead there were some unseen bumps which came near being fatal. Following is a record of the entire season (including the three games already mentioned), and in order played. 24. (overtime) Community Five 24. Ex-High 24. 11 arbor 6. Erie Academy 24.

Burdick. Brace. Kauppila. Kohlcmainen. and Kenneth Herrick. Manager. Four men will be lost through graduation. Wood, Colliding. Smith, and Kananen. Wood, better known as “Woodie” played a stick guard position throughout the season and became a regular “plienom” on the defense as well as offense. A more hardworking. loyal Captain never played for C. II. S. and his reward is in seeing his team win the Championship Banner plus the Silver Trophy awarded by the Rensellaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, X. V. “ Woodie” was also picked for the mythical All-County Quintet as guard, being an almost unanimous choice. “Blonsky” Goulding playing his first year as a regular at guard, proved invaluable to the team, and it is a well known fact that “Blonsky” drew many people to the games just to see him slip in some of his unexpected, spectacular shots. Colliding s ability is shown, in that he was given honorary mention in the picking of the All-County team. “Kananen” held down a forward and center position. He was like a flash on the floor and was responsible for more points than any other player on the squad. Kananen and Burdick were the fastest combination ever seen on a TRACK TEAM June. 1922 TUB TATTLER B5 county court, and while Kananen pulled down the All-County center position. Burdick drew honors on the All-County second team, giving the first team forwards a good race for that position. “Skeetie Smith played a fine game at center and could always he counted on when the team needed a few points. Skeetie is big and tall and certainly had wonderful ability to grap ’em out of the air and drop ‘em through the hoop. Kenneth Herrick, as manager of the team, is to he congratulated for his ability at managing the team. This is the second “Champ team that “Ken has managed and he knows the managing job from A to Z. This is “Ken's” last year at C. II. S. Now as this year ends, listen to a word from the Class of '22. So has the word been other years, so it is this year. “Carry On and bring home the Banner.

Yet. even above victories he has placed a higher value upon clean sportsmanship and clean training. He has contributed materially toward our standing in the county of second place in football, and the basketball championship. Championships or places of high rank arc certain in baseball and track.

The members of this class have many priceless memories which time can never efface. One of the first thoroughly enjoyable affairs was the annual Senior Chestnutting Party. The day was one of those incomparable Indian summer days of which we read so much but in reality experience so seldom. A lovely spot was chosen for our destination, a spot resplendent in its garments of autumn. The place was a grassy lowland, but surrounding. the ground rose wave in wave higher and higher. The trees of vari-eolored green, gold and crimson were as a crown on the brow of nature more exquisite than the gem-studded head-dress of opulent kings. The clear musical rippling of a rivulet nearby with the soft rustling of the leaves played a delightful accompaniment to the carolling of the birds. This was a day of revelry, but so beautiful was it that praise is permissible even if intruding upon the noisy merriment of Seniors. Two nuts were found, as is usually the case with most cliestnuttiiig excursions but its true motive that of a good time was realized. The spirits of all were as high after the hike as before alt ho it was many miles that they had walked and the clock had struck five hours before we once more entered the city of Conneaut. THE SENIOR-JUNIOR MASQUERADE. The Seniors of '22 entertained the Juniors at a masquerade dance at the High School on Saturday evening November the fifth. BOYS' GLEE CLUB June. 1922 THE TATTLER 59 In complete darkness llie guests were led thru the High School. After following a most devious course they found themselves in the “Gym” which had been most artistically decorated for the occasion. The guests colors, blue and gold predominated. Never before at any class party were there so many picturesque costumes. The bright colors of Italy and Spain attracted not a few. The simple dresses of Holland were in prominence as were the always beloved characters of nursery-rhyme. And of course there were clowns for what is a masquerade without one or more of these funny creatures. The lovely society belle, the dainty dancers and the stunning theatrical star were decidely in the lime-light. Dancing was the feature of the evening altlio various games and stunts were enjoyed. ST. PATRICKS March the seventeenth was a red letter day for the Seniors. They determined to celebrate the birth of Saint Patrick. With the thought of commemoration (of course no other thought the Senior girls appeared that morn flaunting ribbons of orange and green tied about their ankles, wrists and lingers and small bows nestling in their hair,— the boys donned flowing ties of the same shade. We were pronounced inappropriately dressed for school and sent home. COSTUME PARTY The members of the Clionian Literary Society entertained those of the Cresset, at a costume party on Saturday evening. April 27. The guests were received by the officers of the Clionian Society. They were conducted to the auditorium where a carefully prepared program was given, after which they were invited to the gym’ for dancing and games. Elizabeth Robertson and Rozelia Linfoot were awarded prizes for prettiest costumes. During the evening delicious refreshments were served. The costume party was one of the most delightful affairs tli is year enjoyed by the “freshies. “ The party was chaperoned bv members of the faculty. “KID” PARTY. A “kid” party at which all present dressed as children was held in Brydle’s barn. It was childishly enjoyed by the Senior Class. Dancing was of primary importance altlio such games as Drop the Handkerchief, Hide and Seek, Lemonade, and Jumping Rope were greatly enjoyed. During the evening delicious refreshments were served. The “kiddies” were chaperoned by Miss Beard and Mr. Nelson. SENIOR PARTY. One of the most enjoyable parties of the Class of “22” was had at the McFarland summer home at Crystal Springs After the picnic supper the beach proved to be a greater attraction than dancing because of the huge bonfire over which marshmallows were to have been roasted, but, because of the ravenous appetites of some, this part was eliminated. The party was chaperoned by Miss Beard and Mr. Nelson. DEBATE TEAM JUNIOR SENIOR PARTY. THE SENIOR PLAY. Juno, 1922 THE TATTLER 61 The Seniors were royally entertained at the Junior-Senior party given in the High school on Saturday evening, May twentieth. The Senior play may be termed the Big Event of the Senior year. It is an achievement long anticipated and one which will never be forgotten. The halls and “gym” were beautifully decorated with gold and purple, the colors of the Class of “22”. Here and there sprays and arbors of dog wood and ferns were placed about. The first part of the evening was devoted to two farces in which many brilliant sallies were made at the expense of Seniors. Dancing was then enjoyed. An intermission for refreshments was announced at eleven o’clock. Dancing was resumed for a short time. The party was chaperoned by Supt. Dickey, Miss Kahler, and members of the faculty.
