ROSENBERG Class President 1 1 ' ' What we, the class of '24w, have to say about Leo is simply this: We absolutely defy any class, of any time, to produce an executive and a fellow like him. That's all. Laine was absolutely one of the most thoroughgoing and enterpris- ing class presidents that Crane has ever had. As class president in '24 he put on the best Class Day that Crane has ever seen. As to the fellow himself, Labe was a peach. He was one of those socia- ble, lively fellows who are always popular, no matter where they are. For lack of space we ean't say more. His activities included: Class president '24 and 2414. secre- tary '23E'i2, S. Q C. '23, '23Vg, and '241e. Humor editor '23, 12316, As- sistant editor '24, 2415, Asst. Comm.

Levy 1 Mr. Bartholf, fellow students, ladies and 1 gentlemen 1- In the name of the class of '24Z, I take particular pleasure in welcoming all present upon this occasion. Tonight's ceremony is especially significant in the history of this school, inasmuch as this marks the grad- uation of the first class to spend a full se- mester in this wonderful building of ours. lt is my privilege tonight to voice the grati- tude of my class to the Board of Education, and to Mr. Bartholf in particular, who has clone so much to secure for us this splendid building. To the members of the faculty, and especially to our class advisor, Mrs. DeTray, we owe a debt of gratitude which can never be repaid. ' For the theme of this eveningfs pro- gram, a subject has been chosen which should be of great interest to all of us-namely, the growth and development of Chicago. My subject will be the early history and growth of Chicago, and the subsequent speakers will take up other salient points in the history of our city. FF Pk Sk XVhen Marquette paddled his canoe down the placid Chicago River, in the year 1663, and gently beached it where now towers the glittering white VVrigley Buildings, he little dreamt that he viewed what was to be the site of a noble city of over 3,000,000 people. Yet, he may have refiected that here, indeed, was a place where the wonder city of the world might fiourishg surrounded by the rich farming soil of the middle west, furnished with untold wealth in minerals, and, above all, appointed by nature as the seat of a great lake traffic system centering in Lake Michigan. The real settlement of Chicago, however, dates from 1777, when a San Domingan negro settled here as an Indian trader. He was soon fol- lowed by John Kiuzie, who had the distinction of being the first white settler. XVith the building at Fort Dearborn, however, in the year 1804, came the real incentive for the development of a metropolis. Families soon settled in the immediate neighborhood of the fort, and the growth of the city had started. The next few years were uneventful, but the war of 1812 brought to Chicago her first great tragedy-the Fort Dearborn massacre. The gov- Forty-l'ou 1' .D ernment, tearing that it would be too difficult to maintain the fort at such a distance from headquarters, and among hostile Indians, had ordered its evacuation, at the same time specifying that the government goods should be distributed among the natives. Captain Heal, the commanding officer, negotiated with the Indians, and under these terms they agreed to furnish his troops and 'the people under his protection escort to Fort Wayne. just before the march was begun, the soldiers began the distri- bution of the goods, destroying, however, the guns and liquor, which they feared to trust to the natives. The Indians accused the whites of bad faith, and such was their feeling that before the party had gone a mile and a half along the lake front, they turned upon the- troops, and a terrible massacre occurred, in which 52 people were slain, including two yvomen and twelve children. On the following day the fort was plundered and burned, and the remaining prisoners distributed in various directions. Fortunately, the city was set back but little by this terrible event. In 1816 the fort was rebuilt, and once more settlement went on, at first slowly, but at an ever increasing rate. By 1829 the village had, reached such proportions that a surveyor was employed to lay out streets. In many instances, such as in the case of Archer Avenue, these streets were laid down on old Indian trails. In the fall of 1832 is recorded the first lot of cattle ever packed in Chicago, now the packing center of the world. The year 1837 is also memorable in Chicago's history, for it was in that year that her incorpo- ration as a city occurred. In 1849 the main business district was on Lake Street, and the court- house was a two-story wooden building adjoining the jail, situated at the northeast corner of the block on which the present structure stands. In that year occurred Cl1icago's second calamity-a disastrous cholera plague, which swept away whole families. There were not nearly enough doctors and nurses, and consequently a great many lives were lost. There was a vast difference between the village of 1849, with a pop- ulation of 23,000, and our present city. In 1849 the residence district was between Randolph and Madison Streets, and the few wholesale business houses were located on Water Street. William Brass, who later became governor of Illinois, writes that he was then staying with a friend on what was considered at that time the South Side-State and Madison Streets. At that time, in the whole city, there was scarcely to be found a half dozen buildings of stone or brick, the great majority being of wooden construction. Sidewalks and street pavements were unheard of in 1849. When a few stretches of sidewalk were laid where the Tribune offices now stand, there was but little improvement, for the wooden planks were laid di- rectly upon the rich prairie soil, and it was not unusual to see people wading through the mud after a rain. In the spring the streets were quite impassable, and it was a common sight to see wagons stuck in the mud for blocks along Lake Street. The clerks in the adjoining stores, having little else to do, frequently amused themselves by putting sign boards on these mudholes, labeled, No bottom here, or, The shortest road to China. Since the city had been built on' low, swampy ground, it was soon found necessary to raise the level of the streets six or eight feet, in order to provide drainage, and so for a year or two Chicago lived on jack-screws, while this operation was being performed. From that time on the city grew with great rapidity, multiplying in population more than ten times between the years 1849 and 1871. This bringing us up to the time of Chicago's most disastrous calamity-the great Hre of 1871. Forty-five ls. ,W '1 fl lv mann if? noni? ADD E98 A , -, V, was ., , ix 0' V By Aniceto Arthur Pistilli ' Future of Chicago Y classmates have described to you Chicago of the past, Chicago of the present, Chicago of tangible reality. They have brought before your eyes the city of prrimitive origin, the city of devastation in '71, the city of glory in the exposition of '93, the city of natural endowments, the city of cultural attainments. I would have you consider for a few moments, the city of the future, the city of dreams, the city of ideals. Chicago is destined to treble its popula- tion within the next generation. Prof. Goode of the University of Chicago bases such a prediction upon scientilic analysis of our natural advantages. A ,population of ten million souls will compel the annexation of ' all suburbs along the lake shore from the state line of Indiana to Lake Bluff, and will force the annexation of all suburbs on the western boundary from Des Plaines to Riverdale. This is not a mere supposition. Even now a line of magnificent homes Qalong the North Shorej from the city limits to Lake Forest and, with few excep- tions, these beauty spots are the homes of men who make their livelihood in Chicago. VVhat conclusion could be more logical than that these residents of the north shore whose business interests are centered here, will wish to take advantage of the superior educational facilities and lower per capita tax that comes through incorporation with a big city. Such an extensive outlet for our crowded population will solve our present housing problem. The suburbs will afford more healthful and more eco- nomical living conditions. However, the solution of the housing problem complicates the question of transportation. The annexation of new territory demands quicker transportation. Wie must and will have a subway that will extend its main Forty-six , branches directly north, south and, west from the loop. This will provide rapid communication for people who cannot afford to live within easy access of the loop. XVithin the next fifteen years only a millionaire will be able to afford living quarters a half hour's distance from the loop. The outer boulevard ling connecting the ,Lincoln Park system with the South Parks along the lake will, with the present Michigan Boulevard link, pro- vide a non-congested and beautiful highway for the motorist in search of pleasure and relaxation. A great aviation field built on land reclaimed from the lake, and outside of the present proposed park link will provide rapid and dependable communication between Chicago and points in the middle west. Such a lake line Hanked for forty miles with a magnificent driveway and dotted with beautiful bridges will justify Chicago's claim as the Garden City of the lake. But a population of millions, beautiful homes, extensive territory and magnificent driveways do not make a great city. They are the outer shell, they are the physical background, they are materialistic setting for the development ond perfection of an ideal. And what is that ideal? It is the ideal of American citizenship. Chicago must stand for swift, untrammeled, impartial justice in the courts. She must insure protection to life and property in the homes, in the marts of trade, and in the isolation of our less frequent thoroughfares. She must inspire respect for law, she must en- courage the non-partisan, unprcjudiced loyalty of her faithful public ser- vants who fearlcssly enforce the law, she must condemn the selfish, un- principled treachery of her false public servants who violate their oath of office for crooked personal gain. She must be as merciless in her punish- ment as she is magnanimous in her reward, VVe, who hope to share the moldings of Chicagds future, look forward confidently to the time when non-partisanship, honesty, fearlessness, and loyalty, will characterize our public men. Cnly such an ideal can indicate the fairmindedness, the super intelligence, the lofty purpose of a truly progressive community. XVe hope that our graduation here tonight marks a step in the realization of this ideal because our passing means nothing unless it represents the acquisition of ideals that will motivate, our future life. And now before our brief and final hour has ended allow me as the spokesman of my classmates to express our indebtedness to you who helped to mould our ideals. ' XVe are grateful to our parents for patience in time of weakness, for encouragement in time of failure, for faith in our ultimate success. VVe are grateful to our teachers who not only instructed us in the tangible mechanics of our school work, but also inspired us to imitate in our own lives the achievements of the truly great leaders of history and literature. Vtfe are grateful to our principal, Mr. Bartholf, for his interest in our social, athletic and scholastic attainments. To each of my fellow students in this class of 24Vz.!' 1 wish the joy and success that should attend earnest work, high' ambition, and honest motive in the life work before you. yi: 6 i Forty-seven The as-S' I 3Hivi:P:1:svE I !

I, best Cand onlyj reporter on that wonderless snoozepaper, the Crane Tack, scented a story and hastened over to the spot whence came these sounds, and beheld three fair youths who might have been anything from broom wrestlers down. Their faces were lighted up with that happiness which comes only to him who hath been favored by a UD. It being class time, and I being a hall guard, I made the following oration: I-Iow now? VVhat's this? Are ye seniors that ye dare to ditch? Or have ye bribed thy teacher with a box of El Punko's? Is this a holi- day? I'll be answered. Aye, they cried, senior three we be. VVe have our rights. True, I replied. You have your rights. But what were you talk- ing about ? I-Iast not heard, O head of a sap, answered the first of the three, that the class of 24M leaves Crane in one week ? Why delay they? But continue. Now, that the class of 2422 is leaving Crane, we were discussing what would become of it? For know ye-Crane will never be the school it was. Certainly not. It will be lots better. Smite him one over the left eyebrow, Algernon, with thy strong right arm. Nay, answered Algernon, for I can tell by the look on his face that I will surely break my smiterf' True, Algernon, true. I can pereceive by his physiognomy, too, that his dome would even shatter tempered steel. I-Iear, O Hick, our tale of woe. It is even as the whiskers of the catf, Methinks ye are full of the sauce of apples. Though thou art a falsi- fier, thou lookest honest. I'll hear your story though it cost me my last dollar, pound, franc and cigar store coupon. Proceed- Dost remember the wondrous class-day play we gave last semester? The rubes, the hicks, the yokelry, the city slickers to the gym did go to see this marvelous drama called 'A Case of Suspension' Such professors as Mahacek, beautiful CU teachers as Kovarsky, good-looking pupils like Dulman, Levenberg and Rabin, serving maids like Ginsberg or hired men like Owen, shall nevermore hie themselves hither to this school. But I heard that they were but as a bunch of ham actors ? Sir! Dost mean to insult the players of the class of 24M ? Forty-eight In truth, sir, I believe I was insulting the ham actors. But con- tinue. What class gave the two best proms in the history of Crane but the class of '24M? I'll even admit that our junior prom was the best ever. It was at the Oak Park Elk's Club. Never in the history of Rome, Paris, New York or South Bend, Indiana, was a dance held equal to it. Never, never again shall such a dance again be held. One year later came -the prom of proms-the Senior Prom. The delight of the members of the class, the envy of the alumni, and the mould of fashion for the other Crane classes was it. At the classy Cooper-Carlton Hotel was it held. Was it a dance? Nay, it was even as a dream. Softly did we glide across the floor. Ne'er was such a gathering of patent leather, tuxedos and hair grease seen before. True, it was a dream Cuntil I saw the taxi billj. Weep, weep, no more such proms will there be. , I don't know what it's about, but three cheers. Go ahead! Greece had her gods. Arabia has her sheiks. Hollywood has ,her cake eaters. But the class of '24M has slickers like Mehr, Mahacek and Sachar, women killers like Peters, Ladinski and Dvorkin. Weep, weep, for the beauty and grace of Crane doth leave. France had her Napoleon. The Cubs-I mean Greece-had her Alexander, Rome her Caesar, but the class of 245 has Major Fashvand First Lieutenant Pearson. Such military men as they would make Caesar, Nap and Alex look like what the cat brought in. Barnum and Bailey has its sideshows, Riverview its freaks-but the class of '24Kg-what class had such small graduates as Silverman and Levenberg. Only slightly larger than a poodle. Dunning has no mo- nopoly on a certain class of the population. Nowhere can you find such nuts as Iddishman and Rudnick, such jiggers as Kovarsky, Less and Dulman. Scudiero and Sukert do play the violins in the orchestra. Their mu- sic is even as the meow of the cat. The noble tennis team of 1923 did have for its captain Sachar, and first man, Dvorkin. Where can you find such as these ? Such, O Sir, can be found in the home for retired and pensioned saxaphone players, wounded in action. Our school. Dost know how useful sour class was to the school? Aye, even as a Stacomb to a bald headed man. Silence, Thy head is packed with nothingness. Speak thou not nothing but let me do it. Dost remember the championship track team of 1923? Who were members of it but Pistilli, Rabin and Ambrosino? Shall we ever have such men-such teams again? VVeep, my friend, for we shall not. ' Dost remember the peerless west section heavyweight champion- ship basketball team? On it was the stellar Lefty Galatzer, the incom- parable Shlep Kaminsky and the one and only Chip Less. On the lights we find Dulman. Last year, who won the inter-room basketball tournament but SA3 of the class of 2242. The class doth surely excel in this sport. The baseball team of 'Z4. On nrst basement we find our friend Lefty Galatzer, one of the best hitters' and fielders in the league. Catcher Billie Robertson was captain of the team. Who was the peerless manager? Who, but Harvey Tenner? That wonderful 1924 football team. On it was Flannigan who doth have a mighty right armg Pistilli, who doth lay his man low unto the fCOI1tlHU6Cl on page 715 Forty-nine l nf v T-1-2 A ' I ,Q ,Q N - U ' f-. f 'ix 7 igfwf-:FFA W' -5gf21'1gf:gaf?l'S. nf, A 2 .2 fvf.. lf '1 H 11li:2:i-12,535:L21.,cE.'I:2gs1.-1 fEQJ2ef-,'i-if.:fg,1ffzeirize-r.-fffzsgi'' k -191'-' L H v-fzfgsntzffl .,,.3-5,-,-1,72 .3 F ,fqfx-,4, ' Y f ,. ., ..

I By the Class Historian-HARRY YONKLOVVITZ - ' V . IT was back in '201k or '21, when, with palpitating hearts 5'we approached the gates of Marquette. As we passed inside the doors we were ordered tdf Follow your noses to the fourth floor. We obeyed orders and, upon reaching our des- tination, were bunched into groups and packed for shipping. After being pushed and jostled all over the halls and up and down the stairs, we were finally stopped in a small room with a big teacher. This wirthy gentleman took our names and told us to report at 8:30 the following morning. At the allotted time 511 of us appeared, and, after receiving a lecture on proper conduct during the high school course, we were sent to some other teachers. The work of the half was finally completed with fair success, but the appre- hension and misgiving of that period are well beyond description by words. We felt that a great stageof the course had eben passed, and the dignity which we ac- quired in that second semester showed deep contrast to the depression of the first. Our work at Marquette was completed, and we were transferred to Crane Proper. Then our troubles started in earnest. Our daily life was filled with Foundry, Geom and Zoo, and our dreams at night were filled with birds and fishes of geo- metrical figures. Eight nights a week we studied, and the other two nights of the week we spent doing extra plates in Meehan. Those who neglected this Work were eliminated from our ranks by D's. It is certain that more died by the wayside in this year than in any other. The third year brought some relief. The possibility of entering the new build- ing, coupled with greater confidence in our ability, made less terrorizing the alarm- ing intricacy of Phys. and Alg. As our third year drew to a close, our class in- augurated the 3A dancing classes which have proved so successful. The dancing classes terminated with a successfully administered Prom, Then came the time to enter that wonderful new edifice made possible through the untiring efforts of Mr. Wm. J. Bartholf. Difficulties and delays, incurred by unfinished construction in the new building, were frequentg and less actual school work was accomplished in our last half than one would ordinarily expect. How- ever, the lack of work was no disappointment to some of the fellows, and when the last Prom came into sight, we determined to make it the best hop ever given by a Crane class. Those who attended know how great a success it was. After the dance, scholarship deteriorated until preparations for graduation started. Then, as the curtain falls and each one of us receives a piece of parchment, we wonder if it is due payment received ofr services rendered. A , V' Fifty-one K 1 Fifty- two ASS: ILL QS.

It may have been a dream-but then, how account for the fact that we both experi- enced-or dreamed-the same things? Or it may have been some form of complex that we hear so much about these days. Well, all that is im- material. What I meant to say when I started was that we can't give any reasons for all that occurredg we can merely state what did occur- and take the chances of being called liars. To begin with, here is a news- paper clipping that may explain some part of it: In a lecture to some fellow savants last evening, Professor Michelin propounded a somewhat new and startling theory. He declared that could it be possible for some human being to travel out into space at a rate such as to bring him ahead of the light which has sped from the Earth in the past, he would be able, as that light came towards him, to View past events, the number of events depending on the rate and dis- tance at which he had travelled. That rate, of course, is too great to be grasped by the human mind . . . As I said, that may explain part of it, and as for the rest-we confess ourselves at a loss. It may have been the lamp-but what could rubbing a lamp have had to do with it, unless it was-. No, that would be going too far. It was a bitterly cold night, everything blanketed heavily in snow, when I Went to my friend's home, a block away. I noticed, on my way, what a bright glitter the night lent to the stars . . . rather impres- sive. Well, I found that he was the only one home, and so we sat down and talked about this and that, comfortably conscious of the grateful warmth within, in contrast with the cold outside. We got to talking about books, I remember, and Hnally began discussing Mark Twain's Con- necticut Yankee, which led us to commenting on the times depicted in the book as only Mark Twain can do it. VVell, that's a bit irrelevant. X I stood up, after a while, to see a paper he was showing me, when, by accident. my foot struck some metallic object lying under the table. I stooped, picked it up and beheld a dilapidated, battered piece of what had once upon a time been a lamp., It had a dull, coppery color, and the sur- face of dirt covering it hid its intrinsic color and shape from my eyes. Weill I queried. What's this piece of junk doing here? Queer contraption, isn't it?'l he answered. I don't know just what it is, but I ran across it this morning in the alley, wedged in against the fence by a large pile of ashes. Fifty-six Fifty-seven fi 4 interior' '3Tf:W5'- XVell, what the deuce made you bring it in here P was my rather surprised question. My friend certainly had the queerest habits . . . Oh! he smiled rather shamefacedly, I don't know. It seemed so odd that I thought I'd look it over at my leisure-just some silly whim of mine. I supposef, ' . H Silly is right! I agreed. Dirtying up the house with trash like this!,' l ' XVell, you know it rather set my imagination working. I- Imagination PU I interrupted. I-Iow can such a banged-up piece of junk stir your imagination? Throw it out! VVith the last I grabbed the lamp and made for the back door. Er-wait a minute! he called, rather persistently. Since I've got the thing here we may as well look it over more closely, huh Pi' VVell, I'1l be-! Wliat in thunder can you see in this- Oh! Shut up and bring it here! I suppose so! was my resigned reply. With a sigh of tolerance I deposited the lamp on the table and sank back into the soft warmth of my chair. Silence reigned for several min- utes, I too amused to speak, he too interested to notice me. The howl of the wind outside and the occasional quivering of the windows were the only sounds. A minute passed . . . Two of them. Yet another . . . VVell? I asked impatiently. For an instant there was no answer. Then, raising his head slowly, and knitting his brows perplexedly, he mused softly, NVere this Alad- din's lamp . . . Say! Did you read about that new theory of Mich- elin's concerning speed of light and the possibilities of- Sure! I exclaimed, Isn't that a peach of an idea? Say, boy, talk about thrills-! Imagine seeing what happened way back in the Stone Ages, or Napoleon's time . . . Gosh!,' I broke off awefully. VVere that possible, and could I but attempt it . . . . contin- ued he in the same reflective manner, VVell ! he awoke from his reverie. Grasping the lamp in his left hand, he extended it to me and said briefly, Go ahead! Throw it out! Indignant, I remonstrated. NVhere do you get your drag? Throw it out yourself! Oh! All right, crabby! I-Ie rose, looked at the lamp, shrugged his shoulders briefiy, and then, as if to scratch an itch on his chest, drew the lamp vigorously across his sweater. There was a blinding Hash of light . . . my friend screamed in terror . . . I nearly faintecl with fright . . . a greenish, mouldy vapor filled the room . . . and through the haze we caught a glimpse of a huge Gargantuan-like face. A cold sneer, or rather snarl, covered its features and only magnihed the grotesqueness of its monstrous propor- tions. Then two misty, Chimera-like hands grasped me, I summoned all my will power to emit a childishly weak scream of horror, I caught an ephe- meral glance of my friendls terrorized face--and I felt myself being lifted with tremendous rapidity. Then . . . black nothingness. . . . Fifty-eight ll TTI I T Wi I 1 W.-. ll f , , I The .Story . . . . . .Gradual consciousness of vast space. . . . . .boundless, overpow- ering space ...... Spots of light through a haze, which gradually thinned until it was not. The spots of light, countless, resolved themselves into planets, suns. Wliat awful silence! No sound, no breath of wind. Only profound silence ...... darkness. ' I somehow realized that it was not my body in space, but my mental being, and with that I sensed the near presence of my friend, his mental being. I spoke-or thought I did. VVhat-what is this? I sensed his shudder of terror. I ...... don't ...... know ...... In space ...... and ....,. Then I trembled, sickened, when I became conscious of a monstrous countenance materializing before me ...... It was that same awful being we had glimpsed on Earth ...... on Earth-how long ago was it? A gigantic, tenuous arm swept out abroad, and we heard in thunder- ous notes: I Look, ye offspring of men-behold the past l All vanished-the Being. the planets-all but one bright-greenish planet. Slowly it grew larger-we were being drawn toward it-faster, faster ...... Again the mist before our eyes, the mist of semi-conscious- ness-but this time when we recovered our senses, we were upon the Earth. I looked about me, saw'f my friend-that is, my mental being was conscious of his, we saw each other. but not as corporate beings do. Oh, it is unexplainable! All else we saw as physical beings do. We found ourselves beside a dusty road, winding through a very beautiful country, resplendent in its green summer garb. It was mid- day. Overhead a warm sun poured down its rays from a cloudlesssky. Human beings in simple garb were trudging along in groups, all in one direction. And then something queer and inexplicable happened. We, that is, our minds, actually knew what was happening. Why, how, through what medium or source, to this day we do not knowg but know we did. Perhaps it was due to the fact that we were possessed of su- perior intellect, or that our minds, unmaterialistic, independent and un- burdenecl by our bodies, sensed or realized beforehand what we ordinarily should have learned afterwards. Or perhaps it was but another miracle bestowed upon us by the Being. Then again, it may have been that, as we had passed the present trend of events, we knew the future. But it is useless to contemplate the why and wherefore. It will sufhce to say that we knew, and as we knew, we realized that we were in England in an era known as King Arthur's, and that we were in the vicinity of Cam- iii ' V I Q?-at u -'-- r fr: I- re ---- w e Q at - e ,fit , , s f Q jf' U p -t ' :' ep if I Fifty-nine elot, the center and capital of the land. As for the occasion, a moment's thought was sufficient to inform us that all England was rejoicing over the recently-announced marriage of the noble King Arthur and the Lady Guinivereg and that knights and nobles from every corner of the civilized world were coming to celebrate this all-important occasion. Knowing all these things, we wished to verify the truth of our as- sumptions, and so we moved to the nearest pedestrianj But now a prob- lem arose. How were we to communicate with him? Physically? That was impossible, since, physically, We did not exist. Mentally? That was our only medium, but the inferior intellect of these humans was sufficient to frustrate any plans we might have entertained in regards to mental tle- pathy. So, realizing that we were independent from the rest of the world, we moved several miles ahead. How? just by thinking so! Space, time, distance, and matter were nothing. VVe found ourselves viewing a strange scene. Several large tents were pitched on a beautiful plain. Cries and exclamations nlled the air. and the atmosphere was one of extreme bustling activity. So! A circus! Knights in armor rode to and fro. mounted on splendid horses and be- decked in all the colorful regalia of old England. Spears, lances, plumes, cloaks, and all the chivalry and romance of the age were evident. Pages scurried to and fro, heralds dashed here and there, fair damsels sat in the cool shade of magnificent trees, with gay troubadors from other lands lounging in their immediate vicinity. In all it was a colorful scene. You see what an effect that age still has on our language. Rather grandiloquent, isn't it? Well, we'll try to get away from it. The slang of the future for ours. , VVe entered the largest tent. Here were a number of large cases, each containing a different freak of nature. In the Hrst cage we beheld a strange, gibbering creature. He was making mysterious passes in the air, the most recurrent of which was that of drawing the index finger of his right hand, quivering under his nose, while his left was stiffiy extended to the side. These motions were accompanied by the puzzling sounds: Ichel-Michel-Pichel! Yesk me! Then suddenly the creature let out an awful, long-drawn yell: Oh! La-a-a-a-aa-y! On the cage was a sign: DANGER The NVild Ruda of Nicke Some cuckoo! said my companion. What the devil's he saying anyhow P Yesk me! It sounds familiar. lu the cage next to this demented maniac was a figure who pre- sented a striking contrast. He was sitting in a position which was later to resemble Rodin's The Thinker. A perfect picture of brooding. But this creature, too, had an affliction. Raising his head slowly, he burst out: Pasteur! The dummy! What a cryptic remark! The sign un- derneath read: CAUTION! The Demented Se from Gal! ' VVe continued. In the next cage were three figures, biting each other in the ear. Each bore a striking resemblandce to the other and under- neath we read: THE IRQ-SHAP TRIPLET Eldoubleyou - -Iaybee - Elbee Immediately next to them were two Hgures playfully kicking each other in the teeth. One was a tall, husky brute, and he had a sign on Sixty him which said Louey. The other looked like a weasel, and his sign said Davey. Underneath was: TWO SILVER MEN. What a bunch of nuts! On the other side, in a lone cell, sat a de- jected figure biting holes in the mattress to pass the time away. He was known as: - THE GOLDEN STICK-EX-PHILANTHROUIST A terrific howl attracted our attention, and we went to the next cage. Here, tearing hairs off his eyebrows, sat what had once been a famous pet of the court- Louie the Miller. On his right chewing on the little toe of his foot, was Pos de Ner, the Brilliant, one time Scholastic Genius. The last cage was occupied by a solemn figure, the Monk Sab of Ath. He was diligently working on his latest idea-a classihed index for Sir Mordrid's Unabridged Dictionary. Having seen all, we took the air, passing out on the opposite side from which we had entered. As we did so, a most wonderful and grand sight niet our gaze. OH in the distance, atop a high crag, stood a most magnificent and imposing castle, pennants streaming from every point, while atop the walls we caught flashes from the armor of armed men. The road wound about the crag, and spiralled to the top. The road was still crowded, common people, knights, lords-all head- ing toward the castle. VV'e knew it to be Camelot. Well, instead of get- ting there in a hurry, we decided to take our time and see the sights, so we started off. A short distance on the way, we came upon a crowd of people by the side of the road, enclosing a large space. At either end were tivo knights, just about to start for each other-a regular twosome. Sensing a scrap, we decided to look on, so we took our places up front and set ourselves to watch a nice, bloody battle. We knew the two to be Qor not to bej the Lone Scot fnot Scoutj Sir Francis ,McDonald and the Swedish knight Sir Raymond Anderson. It looked like a real hot time was to be had by all, and we were waiting for Ray to sock Mac in the kisser, but suddenly, amidst a clatter of hoofs, in rode the famous Polish chieftain, Sir Maha de Cek. Muttering a terrible oath of Grapejuice, he leaped off his noble Spark Plug and came up to the two ambitious Demp- sevs. VVhat means this? he shouted. A contest, on this, noble King Arthur's wedding day? Away, base fools ! This baby must have been the feline's pedeshvess, because they all scattered without a word. Only one bystander remained, one called Art, 'Ivo A! it ' 1 ' :ll f I 4 f - J N , L - 1 xml 'T ,U g 4 1 E l i 71 .1 l , lf- ' .. QF? ,.

So Sir Maha de Cek slammed him a terrific wallop on the wrist, swallowed another one of Per d'Low's Cough Drops, and amidst the clank of his hardware mounted his steed and rode away, his varlet, Ko D'Walski, following. - Since there was neither blood nor tears shed, we entered the court- yard of the castle at once, going through the portcullis for conveniences sake. Here all was as deserted as the opening night of ZiegHeld's Fol- lies. The Italian delegation, under the leadership of the Duc Aniceto Pistilli, had just arrived and were pitching their tents. The noble knight, Sir Cac a Vale, whose fame as a rat exterminator was already spreading, was managing operations with a firm hand, and the famous knights, Sirs LaRocca and De Genaro, the latter a six-footer weighing two hundred pounds, were gazing on with approving eyes. Pages Lau Rino and Pou- ton D'Io, also with the delegation, sat playing pinochle in the back- ground. Larocco, the mighty LaRocca's kid brother, was giving jig- gersf' The Italians were men of ability and skill. and a crowd of lesser nobles stood around watching with envious eyes. Then something happened. Ban O'Vitz, a young English blue-blood, fell from chiliconcarne of the epiglottis. Immediately the scene was one of confusion. Cries and exclamations arose, but at the critical moment ingenuity won the day. The Duc Czotyn de Buche, French Hot Stuff, who was just entering at the head of his delegation of steppers from wicked Paris, rushed to the helpless Ban, lifted the vizor of his uniform, and said: Verily, 'tis a misfortune! But water, water! Another of the Frenchies, Marquis D'Rell, rushed to the scene with a helmet full of HZO and poured it on the pale features of the noble Ban O'Vitz. No result. Cf a truth. but one remedy doth remain! spoke the royal Vicomte D'Vorkane. It is to relieve him of the burden of his armorf' So the gang began hauling at Banls suit of armor CF.nglish modelj, two-inch cuffs and all. But to no avail. The hardware remained intact. Then one baby was smitten with inspiration. With a cry of joy he forked out the latest product of that genius Bee of Ker, the Bec-Ker Can- Opener. The French page, Jac Obson, pounded upon it, handed it to Kram de Mer, and the latter pried open Ban's cover. But in his eager- ness Kram pushed in the implement too far, with the result that it hit Ban's hat-rack and broke. Now it happened that Sue of Kert, the sales manager for the Bec- Ker Can-Opener, was standing nearby. The crowd, sore at the failure of the instrument, jumped him and was just going to separate him from his tonsils. when he yelled in terror: Hear me first, fair sirs! Is it not well known that the Bee-Kei' Can- Opener cutteth only hardware, and is not guaranteed to carve ivory? Use now this one. he said, hauling one out from his jeans, but take care to strike not the noble Ban's head. The famous Sir Vernon Parrish immediately seized it, and with one stroke sliced Ban's armor up the back. He then ordered his pages, Axel of Rode and Bark d'Un, to peel it off and carry the victim into the castle. That was the last we saw of him. Since the day's tournament was scheduled for a couple of hours later, we decided to go out and give the sights a break by looking them over. just as we got over the moat, we saw in the distance a small caval- cade coming toward the castle. We waited, and then up galloped a bunch of Teutonic visitors. They were the four brothers of the famous House of Berg: Gersch, Gold. Gins and Blum. Each of them, in order to show that he was too good to notice anybody, was busy doing something.

L,.r?: Yiwu V Gersch was hunting through his whiskers for a strand of sauerkraut which had gone astray in the underbrush. Gold was in the act of going south with a big piece of wienerwurst, Gins was twisting the tail of his pet cheesehound, and Blum was taking off a gas mask, having just finished eating some limburger cheese. Now it so happened that three knights of Ireland, namely: Sirs Flan Nigan, Murr Phey and Rye Ane, were busy solving a cross-word puzzle when the Bergs rode up. The commotion and smell of the Germans so aggravated them that they rashly told Sir Flan Nigan to challenge the Germans to combat. Flan, he of the Turkish past, raised his voice and ex- claimed: I-Io! VVhither go ye, sons of Attila? Think ye to befoul the fair air of Camelot with the stench of thy breaths? Get you hence ! And so saying, he yanked out a banana and began eating it. Hear I aright? this from Count Blum of Berg. Dares this mere vassal challenge the noble House of Berg? At them, comrades! And followed by the others, he spurred his horse forward. The beastie must have been nearsighted, for he slipped heavily on the banana peel that Sir Flan had dropped. The fall injured Blum to the extent of a broken leg, a fractured finger, and a strained eyebrow. By now the Bergs were highly angered, and they came at the Sons of Erin, three strong. Then the fun began! Sir Murr' Phey with one wallop knocked Count Gins clean out of his saddle. He followed the on- slaught by jumping on the latter's neck and brutally pulling his nose three times in quick succession. Sir Rye Ane engaged Count Gold, and pretty soon the two were having a hot session. It looked like a dandy battle, but suddenly Count Gold sneezed. The awful smell caused Rye to fall back unconscious. This done, Gold made for Sir Flan Nigan to help his sidekick, Count Gersch. It looked bad for Flan. Gold began hacking away at his map, and soon Flan was minus his tooth, an ear, and one of his double chins. ' just at this point Count Rutt of Enberg, who was in the German company, strode forward, yelling: V Hold thy hand a moment, Sir Gold! So Gold held his hand with the other one, and Count Rutt continued: Thou canst save thy life on one condition, Sir Flan Nigan. It is but to use thy influence with the Court to secure me the hot-dog concession at today's tournament. Thour't on, said Flan, and now deliver me of this smack before he separateth me from my pijoboscisf' ' The Count dragged off Gold, and then the Teutons passed onto the drawbridge. At this moment Sir Rye Arie came to, and, not knowing that the party was over, jumped at Louis of Grauer in the German company, and pulled him off his nag. Captain Knapp jumped off his plug and made ' f Sixty-three 1- ypijul- g, H 2: ul.f.J ,ss l .... . - 3Q.'.,fQ All l V ' :Il ,: . if i-l :.l .El 9 ' 4... fa E2 ia Ei E2 E: 133 2:1 E sa ... -1 Ei E2 ef, '32 III E! fi I:-E :Ei .Tj I , il 1 ,fl 125 ii ' L l4 for the tete-a-tete with death in each eye, his personal attendant, Muel of Ler, following in his wake. The captain reached the scene just in time to land a haymaker on Sir Rye's chin. With a screech Rye toppled and fell into the moat. The noise drew the attention of a lone knight who happened to be passing, and who was known as Marge O,Lis. He, seeing Rye Ane do an Annette Kellerman, sensed foul play and rushed to the scene, yelling: F'eaven's sake! The sound caused Captain Knapp to wheel about and prepare for action. Marge grabbed his sword and drew back to slam the Cap on the noodle, but in so doing lost his balance, fell, and nearly rolled down into the moat. As he fell he grabbed the Cap's leg, whereupon both fell to the ground, lighting like two dachshunds. Muel of Ler, the varlet, jumped on too, and soon the three were rolling in the mud. At this point three members of the Camelot Flying Squad, Sirs Gala- had, Qweine, and Pet d'E1's, drew up, and, seeing the commotion, shined up their tin stars and prepared for action. What ho! A quarrel ? this from Galahad. Yea, verily. And a dirty one, too, came from Squire Be d'Gun, a bystander. Into the moat with the varlets! Orders are orders, so Sir Pet d'Ers grabbed one leg, Sir Gweine one arm, and Squire Be d'Gun an ear, and in a second three splashes an- nounced the end of a perfect fray-but not quite. Three of the German bodyguard, Yonkel 0'VVitz, Schil of Ler, and Schul au Mann, angered at the treatment accorded their masters, looked around for someone to take it out on. Since the Flying Squad was too much for them, they jumped Squire Be d'Gun and pushed him toward the moat. At this Sir Galahad got so hot under the collar that it melted and ran down his back. f'How now! he roared. Dare these kibitzers defy our authority? In with them all ! In a moment the lusty feet fsizes 122 and l3j of Sirs Pet d'Ers and Oweine had done their stuff and the four were in the moat. Sir Galahad smole a smile, and saying: Well done, my lads! Ye punish right lustily! he departed with his men. It was about time, then, for the tournament to begin, so we did our thinking, and found ourselves on the sidelines. 4 The scene was typically tournamental. Confusion reigned. All eyes, of both damsels and knights, were riveted onto the box seat where King Arthur was to appear. Several minor scraps were going on, but no one seemed to care a darn, and waited for the royal party. Out on the field, of combat Kamin, Lord of Skye, and leader of the N.orsemen, was preparing his forces for the coming fray. Sir Rob of Ertson was having it out with Mazur of Skye, and Rob's sidekick, Ira of Fash, was lustily attacking Berk of Skye. The battle raged furiously, and soon the rest of the Norsemen Call of the House of Skyej were par- ticipating. Savit of Skye slapped Sir Mark 0'Witz on the wrist, the chal- lenge was acceptedg and then their seconds, Ladin of Skye and Sir Kap O'Lan, were soon at it. The scrap ended in a draw, five killed on each side, and no one left to decide the winner. , Then silence fell over the huge assembly. The King and Queen were entering. There was a blare of trumpets. His Royal Highness, King Arthur ! bowled Page Zech d'Mann. Her Royal Highness, Queen Guinivere! yelled Page Zell Q,Denn. There was a ripple of applause. Arthur, tall and stately, entered his box 66.601-but where was Lady Guinivere? Sixty-four 1 f-:L - - 2413--ff fx, i--W .. .. . W. 1 . - , wp,-. , , ir I WPETI-an I ins' l , +7-f-I L Knights and ladies, began the King, indeed it grieves me sorely that Lady Guinivere is unable to attendg she is indisposed for lack of good health. But, anon, the jousts must go on! Proceed! Another blare of trumpets and out on the field rode delegations from every land to pay their respects to the King. In a long procession they passed Art's box, each saying a few words and passing on. There were the noble Russians, Barons Salmanoif and Kozlov in all their unbarbered splendor. Goodsky lucksl-ry, said they to the king. Thanks I need all I can get, says Art, for am I not about to be wed ?,' Next came the gallant Frenchman, Prince Albert D,Ulmane, with his company. Oni, oui, bon voyage, parlevvoo, or what have you, O Great King! says he. A nickel's worth, replies Art, and that goeth for thine old man, too. Next! Stepping on the heels of D'Ulmane's outht, came the Norsemen, Kamin, Lord of Skye, and Oman of Skye. These two were all that re- mained of the Norse delegation, who, you remember, cashed in in their scrap with the English archers. Now it happened that Art's great chan- cellor, Win of Etsky, was standing beside him, and Win slipped Art the news about that scrap. 'Tis indeed sorrowful, says Art to Kamin and Oman, but thoul't have to admit that our archers are somewhat nifty scrappers, is it not so? Well, come again. 'Kamin, thinking that the King was kidding the Norsemen, went up like a balloon, and yelled: Think not that thy English hams are so won- derful, O Royal Smack! and Oman hollers: That goeth for me, too, thou big grapefruit! The King jumped up, ultra-violet with anger. With a terrible oath of: Oh! My goodness-gracious! This to me P he yanked out the gum he was chewing, tore it in two, and with unerring aim, smacked each Skye in the right eye. Kamin grabbed his eye, yelling: 'Sblood! The base product of Wrigley in my eye! Ye gods and diminutive pisces Oman gnashed his tooth in rage. Art yelled: Launcelot! Galahad! To me! Launcy and Galy came up on the run: On deck, Sire! VVhat is thy will P With a look of adamant cruelty in his eye Art roared: Smite me yon baseborn knaves on the wrist! Before the Skyes had time to dodge, Galahad and Launce- lot had smitteng and the Norsemen, sobbing in agony, departed. Next in line came the mighty Crown Prince of Germany, Ben of Koff, and his younger bother, Ben of'Esch. Ach, Arthur, was their chorus, und ve all sympatize mit you! Try to be happy, tho' married ! Well said, noble sirs, was Arthur's commentg and he turned to the Scot, Harvey of Younge, who was next in the parade. Noo, what's the news? !v1 ng ! u , ,---- J . , Sixty-five ::Bonny Arthur, buck up. The wor-r-rst is yet to come ! and Harvey did an exeunt in one part. Then up dashed two picturesque hgures. , The Royal Mohamme- dans! Caliph Kami! Zitkah and Sheikh Abou Sac Har! came the beauti- ful hoarse shriek of Crier Grossman, Sitting onnoble white horses, and smoking 2 for 5 stogies of the brand manufactured by Rob of Inson, in rode the two-Caliph Zitkah, ruler of the barbaric land of Cicerog and Sheikh Sac Har, leader of the tribe of Lady-Killerse. The latter was dressed in his robes of warfare, including a blue-and-red checkered sweater, with a passionate orange bow tie showing through his coat of tinnery. ' Ol VVise King of the Franks, we greet thee! May Allah's blessings he bestowed upon thee in thy marriage-thou wilt need them l was their greeting. - Right truly spoken ! came from Chancellor Win of Etzky- and now for the jousts! Another blare of trumpets from the throat of Page Duvedal Katze! Then from opposite sides of the held the contestants rode in. All were fully bedecked in their cannery, all had lances in hand, and each wore the sign of his sweet woman on his chest. For instance, Thomas Keers, Earl of XVarke, had a large picture of an oyster painted on his vest-showing that his girl's name was Pearl. The Duke of Covington had a Hery pic- ture of Satan on his helmet-and we knew his afFinity's name was Helen. Earl Leroy of Wallace wore an onion in his lapel-therefore his baby's name was Rose. Then came Edward, Earl of Belz, with a link of his underwear showing from underneath his vest, and a map of South Caro- lina engraved on his vest. His patootie's name was not Beckie. Now the Master of Ceremonies arose and signed to a nearby an- nouncer, Moonin. In a loud and melodious voice the latter squeaked: Hear ye! hear ye! all that are here assembled! First in combat are Leroy, Earl of Wallace, and Thomas Keers, Earl of VVarke! just as the two, the huge, fierce Wallace and the giant VVarke, took up their positions, in dashed an annuoncer, a little dried-up shrimp, Bag- nuolo, yelling: Hold! Hold! His honor, the Duke of Ash of VVorth, is here with an announcement of great import! Then in rode the great Duke on a runty, striped jackass, and rode to the center of the arena. He took up his stand there, held up his hand, and yelled: Knights and Ladies! I have the honor to- announce that King Arthur has decided to run in the next election, and also that I, Duke Ash of VVorth, am his campaign manager! Furthermore, the House of Par- liament has placed all details of the election in the care of the hrm of Sirs Barne Fagen and Sidney Guins de Berg, Inc. Wfith that he handed a Specimen Ballot to Chancellor VVin of Etsky, grabbed an Eskimo Pie from the hot-dog stand on the side-lines, and was about to leave when Count Rutt of Enberg, who was waiting on the cus- tomers, per previous agreement with Sir Plan Nigan, stopped him with a Hist!

Duke Ash was a man of action, rather than -words, so without another word hekicked Count Rutt of Enberg heartily in the back, knocking out two of hiscteeth, grabbed several toothpicks, cried Agreed V' and was off. Sixty-six L.. gl, . ,, , d,.,..-s. ,. ---. - - The interruption over, Crier Moonin once more prepared to start the joust. But again there was a delay. ln rode a husky young page of some sixty summers. Up to the King's box he rode and then announced: The firm of Sirs Barne Fagen and Sidney Guins de Berg, Inc.,-and in rode the two biggest gyppers in the land. ' In sweet tones they rattled off the following: Knights and Dam- sels! We do not wish to influence your vote in the least, but remember -! Should King Arthur lose the next election, there will be an imme- diate close to all bread, milk, wine and collar-button production! Don't think this a threat! It is a promise! Hurrah! The Meat and Cod Liver Oil Trusts forever! Three cheers for the Red, XVhite and Pink! and amidst a storm of applause and pop-bottles they rode off, leaving the arena empty save for Earls Leroy and Thomas, the eager joustees. Since everyone was waiting for them to start something, they made for each other and began the quarrel. It took but a moment to end the struggle! The Earl of Warke burst out into an impassioned speech on the Relief of Starving Monte Carlo! His plea so affected the Earl of Wallace that the latter burst into sobs. swooned and was soon made the Reception Committee to a long, sharp-pointed spear. So that was that! The first bout concluded, Chancellor Wfin of Etsky called to his private courier, Engel de Steine, to announce the second. So Engel burst out: The mighty and honorable Edward, Earl of Belz, and the Mysteri- ous Monarch V' The Monarch's identity was known only to King Arthur, as he was travelling incognito. The two knights took up their positions and then, at a blast of the starter's trumpet, made for each other. When they were within about twenty feet from each other, the Monarch rose in his stir- rups with a cry of Curse you, Jack Dalton ! and flung a ripe egg at the Earl. The egg sped to its mark, and even while it was bursting on the Earl's helmet, the Monarch followed it with an ancient piece of hambur- ger. This was too much for the' Earl, and he toppled out of his saddle. his hardware corroding under the action of the hamburger gas. A Fire hose was immediately brought into play by Fie dlRer, one of the French lackeys on the sidelines. Due to this guy's presence of mind, the Earl escaped with but a dried-up, shrivelled nose. That was the hambergas. Well, there were a bunch of scraps that followed, and then came an event of great importance! The Archery Contest! At a blast from the hoarse throat of Sentinel Grossman, in rode the pride of England. At their head rode Captain ,lock Oil-Iarris, closely followed by his trusty archers, Paul, Son of the Potter, Aleck of Green Field, Sidney of Mehr, Irving, Son of Lang, Howard, Son of -lohn, and the mighty Willard a Swendsen, pride of Sweden. Seventy-seven l l l ' ' ' J x ,ivy i .67 , - At a command from jock O'Harris, they toed the mark and then let Hy in rapid succession. First came Paul, Son of Potter. Taking careful aim he let drive, and the arrow only missed its mark by three feet, seven- teen inches. Then came Aleck of Green Field. His shot hit the bulls- eye-but it was on someone else's target. Following him came noble Sid- ney of Mehr, whose trusty arrow flew from his bow with the speed of a snail. All followed its course with eager eyes-. Straight as Ben Turpin's optics it sped, landing in the throat of Sir Wie d'Zer and causing that gentleman to adapt one of the perfect poses suggested by Piser, Wein- stein and Hursen. As he fell, there was a tremendous burst of applause, for Wfic d,Zer had oft been called a General Detrimentf, It looked as though Sidney of Mehr was winning. But alas! The two sons, Irving of Lang, and Howard of john, by a mutual shot, suc- ceeded in clipping a hair from the tongue of John Basil, Lord Sallemi, who was eating peanuts in the background, and the shot practically decided the contest for them. just as Knight Swendsen was about to let drive, there was a commotion. A masked knight rode in at full speed, jumped off his horse and shouted: A challenge! I wouldst shoot against thee, no- ble sir! -And what is thy title?,' came from Sir Swendsen. Merely the-B lack Knight. So saying, he drew a slingshot from his tuxedo, took aim and hit the bullseye exactly in the center. There was no alternative, so Sir Swend- sen bit him in the tonsils, pulled out his teeth and raced off the field, weeping with joy! After a conference, the prize was awarded to Duc D'Ulmane, an innocent bystander. He took the sand-paper toothbrush and with a gallant My compliments, gentlemen! flew off the scene. The stage cleared, the feature of the day was announced. The Pride of England, Duke Leven de Berg. versus Spain's Idol, the Don ! I Cheers and hurrahs greeted the announcement and everyone drew their chairs up. From one side of the arena, at full speed, came gigantic Duke Yonny Leven de Berg. From the other sped Spain's hope, the Don! There was a crash as the two met in mid-arena and tumbled to the ground. The Duke summoned every ounce of his fifty pounds to the task, and after a half-hour's tussle succeeded in drawing his sword. But here he was in a fix. It was too big for him to lift. It was then that he showed his rare presence 'of mind. Being prepared for just such an emergency, he ran past the Don to the sidelines, and the next thing we knew came trunclling in on a derrick. Quickly he manipulated the levers. The der- rick hooked up de Berg's sword and swung it at the Don, who ducked. just at this point there was a sudden terrifying howl of Meat! and out from the sidelines dashed a wild, strange figure. It leaped on the Don and sank its gold-plated tooth into his shoulder with another yell, Oh! Meat!! From the Don went up a terrific yell: I-Ioy! No tene- mos platanos! No tenemos platanos hoyli' Immediately all was in an uproar. Art yelled for the Flying Squad, who dashed out and yanked the strange creature off the Don. They brought him before the King, who looked him over. and then yelled: Whose thing is this ? Then the two sheiks Abou Sac Har and Kamil Zitkah, arose and said: O, Big Wheeze, it is but that strange creature, the wild Less, which we brought with us from Arabia. We pray you to let him go, and we will shut him up safely hereafter. Well, Art got an attack of kindness and handed the Less over to the sheiks. The tournament was over by this time, but just as everybody Sixty-eight was about to leave, Engel de Steine, the announcer, dashed out on the field and yelled: Hold but a moment, everybody! It is Galat d'Zer, with an announcement of great import ! Cut on the field rode the notorious Count Milton Galat d'Zer, part owner of the Camelot Jazz Palace. In behalf of my partner, the Count Levi, and myself, and in View of the fact that this is poor Art's wedding day, we do hereby invite all and sundry to be our guests at a celebration tonight at the Camelot jazz Palace! As added attraction we announce a big contest between the Round Table Syncopators and the Florentine I-Iotsie-Totsies, who have come especially for this occasion with the Ital- ian delegation! iWe have also the promise of the prohibition ,officers to gaze not in our direction! Come one. seven, eleven, and all V' This announcement was greeted with cheers. But we wondered where Count Levi was, since we knew darn well that this notorious per- sonage was always hunting publicity. So we wished ourselves at the castle and began to hunt him out. VVell, it didn't take us long. We found him out i11 the onion orchard making love to Lady Guinivere! The bold fellow had gone so far as to hold her hand, and then had stopped, blush- ing at his daring. - At this time we heard the Royal Qutfit arriving, so we beat it into the throne room. Art came in in a few minutes and sat down, his Chan- cellor, VVin of Etsky, and his campaign manager, the Duke Ash of Worth, standing beside him. VVin bent down and bit Art's ear to attract his attention, at the same time clouting him in the thyroid gland. I-Ie whis- pered into the King's ear as if reminding him of something. Immediately Art's face became mauve with anger and he yelled: Send for my jesters! Methinks their powers are waningfi No sooner said than done! In a moment the Royal ,Testing Corps, consisting of slaves Kovarsky and Iddishman, entered jigging to the tune of Oy! Der Rebetzen! which was being whistled lustily by the latter. They danced up to the throne, unraveled several yards of spaghetti from their fountain pens and chorused: Noble king! VVhat is thy wish P Varlets! spoke Artie. Do ye crack the best jests that ye know. Ye will be compensated accordinglylu I Right merrily! exclaimed Kovarsky. I-Iow's this one? Why is Sir Launcelot unlike a herring P Truth, and I know not, was the reply. - Because hsh don't perspire! and Kovarsky fell to the ground, roll- ing in merriment. Arthur, choking with rage, uttered a terrible oath and shouted, To the gallowsl Do electrocute this chump! You!! to Iddishman. Try you now-and should thy jests be no jestier than the last- he broke off. b pw l Q A 1 S Q ' ' ' .

Managed by ' Sirs Barne Fagen and Sidney Gins de Berg. Inc. ' Ketchem and Fleecem Thus enlightened, we entered the door to behold Duchess Ash of Worth taking parcheesi lessons from Sir I. Edward Rae Bin, dancing in- structor elite. Count Albert Levi, sophisticated proprietor, stood watch- ing with a gleeful air. When he beheld the Royal Party, he rushed to them, adopted his most suave air, and soon all were comfortably settled for a hot time. First will be the long-awaited Jazz contest between the Round Table Syncopators and the Florentine Hotsy-Totsiesf' Thus announced Sir Harveten d'Nerr, poker shark of the house. With a crash of the saxaphones and cornets they were off. The Ital- ians with Sir Kot de Tra at the drum, Duc Pac d'Ente at the piano, Sir Cec Chini liddling, the Duc Scud d'Ero at the Sax. and Prince Ambro de Sino at the flute -, were soon lost in the passionate melody of Red Hot Mama. The Round Table Syncopators, Sir Flan Nigan directing, began grinding out that tear-producing lullaby, Hard-hearted Hannah ! The latter tune proved too much for Art to withstand, and he began friscoing. his armor clanking merrily. The din was ferocious and there was tremendous applause-when the contest ended. The verdict: Hang the Syncopators and drown the Hot- sy-Totsies! ' Suddenly we heard a cry of despair from a side room, and Sir Har- veten d'Nerr, the poker shark, rushed out into the night with his hand to his brow. He had attempted the impossible by trying to gyp Gins de Berg and Fagen in a poker tournament-and had been roasted a rich brown. We were curious and followed him out. A short distance away we-our mental beings-suddenly experienced a feeling of faintness. Things began to whirl. everything became blurred, and then-we knew no more.

CURTAIN Seventy-one V l Big Brothefs Club Leo Rosenberg ISTEN, fellows! Do you know that there are only two schools in the city of C-hicago which have organizations like our Big' Brothers' Club that amount to any- thing? Do you know that these two are Crane and Scnn? And that Crane has the larg- est and most effi- cient organization in the city? And that annually be- tween seventy-five and one hundred fif- ty families are greatly helped by this organization? i Probably not. The average Craneitc - accepts these facts as a sort of part- of-Crane thing. The truth of the thing is that the Big Brothers' Club has functioned so successfully at Crane for thc last several years that at present it is an institution - a part of the school. The money is contributed annual- ly by the Crane stu- dent body, and the baskets are distri- buted to needy fam- ilies whose names are sent in by kind friends and rela- tives. This yearfs cam- paign was led by Commissioner of Activities, Kaminsky, who took care of the nuances and managed the stu- dent end of the affair. 'Commission- er of Attendance, Glautz, and Ass't. Major Harrington were the two who completed the Governing Triof, Seventy-two MISS OLIVA K. OLSON Thru their efforts machines were procured, fellows were secured to help, the distribution, and all the baskets were packed. But the one person deserving the REAL credit was Miss Olava K. Ol- son. lt was her earnest efforts and co-operation, both this year and in past years, that made the Big Brothers' C l u b what it is today. It was she who did all the purchasing of V suppliesg and it was she who supervised the entire job, see- ing that all baskets had the same con- tents. She carried the brunt and the responsibility of this great task, and her work was nobly rewarded. Assisting her was the ever-helpful ray of geniality-Mr. I-lornbrook. He took charge of the machines, and cli- vided the work in commendable fash- ion. Qthcrs whom we wish heartily to thank are: Mr. Can- ter. who suggested l some needy famil- iesg Mr. Wlillis Johnson, who of- fered his machine and services, and the Cunningham lce Cream Company, which donated the use of one of their large trucks, which carried some forty baskets. Next year there will be another appeal for aid. Will you be a sup- porter? Th c Wo r k of The Big Brothefs Club ORQUER STREET .... De Koven Street .... Barber Street ....

Into this Dreg -of Humanity came some odd twenty youths, warm, well-fed and bubbling with Christmas spirit. With large, well filled baskets, each containing f 't kes and a number meat, bread, beans, coffee, 11C6, potatoes, preserves, ru1 s, ca , of other edibles, they brought relief, at least temporarily, to the hundreds of the Ghetto. Sventy-five of these joy-boskets were distributed and seventy-five fam- ilies resumed acquaintanceship with half-way decent meals. The sights the boys saw on their cold journey are well nigh indescribable: shanties, cellars, sheds, rickety, broken-down stairs, groaning under the weight of each step, smoky, nau- seatin l foul-smelling rooms, panes of glass with an inch surface of dirt and 8 Y grease, countless bare-legged urchins sprawling and toddlmg over greasy, filthy floors, smoke-filled chambers, dreary gas-lighted rooms, a myriad of dogs .... all . . . . . . . . H barking, some loudly, angrily, others mdlflerently, faintly, snow, cold. ice on a sides, wind and sleetg here a figure runs, unkempt, unshaveng here another, bleary- eyed, drawn faced. Oh! It is beyond human powers of description. And an ephemeral ray of joy was brought into the lives of these fallen fel- lowmen by the representative of our school-the Big Brothers' Club. This organi- zation, composed of some twenty fellows, purchased, packed and distributed seventy- five baskets to different parts 'of the city-and it was bitterly cold that day! The Big Brothers' Club was composed of the following: Kaminsky QComm.

There has been an average attendance of about twenty students a day. There have been classes in Algebra, Geometry, Physiography and English. In order to teach any subject, the teacher must have an A in that subject. Among the teachers are some of the best students in Marquette. The super- visor is K. Savickus. The teachers are: Sam Sorkin, Morris Sorkin, Sam Frankel, Philip Schaetferg Roy Ebersold, M. Cohen, Albert Weidman, Leon Ganfor, J. Kap- lan, L. Losey, Berdofoky, Sorro Prete, Bert Perkins and Spero Giauaras. That the students have enjoyed the classes is evident from the fact that every day twenty or more boys have been present. ' HONOR ROLL Passing with flying colors in every subject is a diiiicult feat for an upper class- man, let alone a freshman. However, some half dozen boys at Marquette have done so. These are Bertel Anderson, Vincent Galvani, Louis Hackley, Robert Popovich, Harold Press and Leonard Stone. This shiows that freshmen can in- fringe upon their upper classmen, even in high marks. Their achievements have put them upon a pedestal of distinction. These boys are to be congratulated upon their wonderful merits. The Marquette students and faculty are proud of them and take this opportunity tio proclaim it. OUR NEW LUNCH ROOM During the pas semseter the Marquette lunch room has emerged from its past dinginess by acquiring shiny new oak tables and chairs to replace the gray benches of long use. The fourth floor has now become a spot of real pride among the freshmen. Under the supervision of Miss Kelly, the freshmen now have the best food conditions that can be afforded in any school. Among a faculty noted for its sociability, this semester stands out as one of the most pleasant Marquette has ever experienced. The spirit emanating from the ofhce and heightened from time to time by the various weddings and christenings affected some of the more unfortunate members and became responsible for a series of birthday parties in the North Building. Although Miss Brant first opened her baby blue eyes upon a summer moon, she opened the Marquette Social Season with a September Afternoon Tea, which, wtih its dainty but caloric menu, its beauty of setting and warmth of welcome, became a precedent for Miss Laliirfs sixteenth-and correspondingly forlorn-anni- versary, and for the twin daughters of December, Miss Peerstone and Miss Kelly, The feasts of reason and the filow of soul which followed the more substantial feasting have led to the enforced resignation of Marquette's self-appointed poet laureate in favor of the real poets the season has produced. The Book Club has completed its first series 'of Modern Fiction, and is only waiting until payday to invest in a secondp The condition of the current maga- zines on the rest room table bears witness to their popularity among the ladies, and the box ofiices of the theatres know how generously Marquette has contributed to the encouragement of drama in Chicago. Seven ty-five MARQUETTE CLUBS During the past semester Marquette has supported five active clubs and nu- merous other extra activities. The Debating Club, which is under the supervision of Miss Paarlberg, has had one of the most successful semesters since its organi- zation several years ago. Weekly debates have been a part of their program at their regular meeting on Mondays. Two interscholastic debates, one each with Marshall High Sch-ool and McKinley High School, were on the semester schedule. The club lost the decision in the first and lost in the second. The team also met Miss Rosaire's veterans at the main building with a great deal of creditt to the freshmen. The first team was composed of David Jackson, Benjamin Balaban and Bernard Malter. The otlicers for the semester were Benjamin Balaban, president: Seymour Baker, vice-president, Abraham Jablon, secretary. The Stamp and Coin Club has been another enthusiastic organization through- out the semester. About thirty members of this group under the sponsorship of Mr. Rickoff have held regular weekly meetings of great interest. Some of their attainments for the year have been a trip to the Stamp and Coin Club at the Main Building, several interesting collections of stamps and coins, interesting weekly programs and a greater knowledge of this interesting field of knowledge. The officers were Harry Bronstein, presidentg Abe Lasser, vice-presidentg Mar- shall Brown, secretary. The Chess and Checker Club has had'no rival in interest among the fans of other youthful hobbies. With about forty active members, the club has met reg- ularly and developed a number of star players. Their regular first string men are Harold Gradman, Sol Kaplan, Max Silverstein, Ben Levine and David Rattner. Sol Kaplan has been general manager of the team, and Mr. Groves it guide and defender. As most of the members of this club are 1B's, they are looking forward to another active semester. The Crane Camera Club is the newest organization at Marquette. Mr. Werre is its enthusiastic leader. A laboratory is being installed in the basement and many interesting plans laid for the future. Their Hrst venture was taking snaps for the semi-annual, but they are hoping to reveal their real ability in a far more capable way in another semester. Bernard Walter is the president of the Camera Club, Harry Summers, vice- president, and Seymour Baker, secretary. A Marquette Hi-Y has maintained an active organization among the freshmen during the past semester under the guidance of Mr. Garland of the West Side Y. M. C. A. The club has held regular meetings an dhas enjoyed several swims and a Christmas party at the West Side Y. They have also maintained two basketball teams. One of their most interesting occasions was an entertainment provided by Mr. Bones, a New Zealand traveller. Another happy time was a visit to the Hi-Y at the Main. The officers are Richard Golden, president, Herbert Rhind, vice-pres- identg Harold Press, secretary: Milton Rosenthal, sergeant-at-arms. MARQUETTE COURT The Marquette Court has maintained an average of ten cases per ses- sentatives in court officials are Albert Hoffman, Benjamin Balaban, Seymour Baker and Abraham Ishlon. The good work done through this organization in impressing the freshmen with the importance of good behavior is a commendable phose of our great school. - The Glee Club has sung its way to the close of a happy and profitable se- mester under Miss TafTin's able direction. Co-operating with them has been one of the best orchestras the freshman school has ever maintained. Together they sang and played in the halls at Christmas time and cheered the patients of Cook County Hospital with their excellent music. Representatives of these groups are also taking part in the Crane opera, The Doctor of Alacantraf' The enrollment in the R. O. T. C. has been the largest in number in the his- tory of Marquette military training. Sergeant Slatton has had more than two hundred cadets who have developed into real young s-oldie1's and well-trained citi- zens under his skillful direction. Two scores of riiies were contributed to Mar- quette during the semester, and the practice with these new weapons has afforded an interesting variation in their training. A select company was organized of the best cadets in school. The freshmen also shared in the annual military ball. Seventy-six ' MARQUETTE 10092, SECTIONS Egsiaefs' e iris Q- 1 M, ' fl F .4 The Sfaf ISS OTJUNNELL and Mr. Swem took care of the literary and financial advisorships respectively. Their capability, coupled with their enthusiasm, leaves no room for criticism. 'Howard Boolcman, as editor-in-chief, proved that he was capable in every department of the magazine. His incomparable executive ability and his clear-headed mode of handling the material in a crisis show that he is possessed of the neces- sary skill and verve requisite of an editor. He also wrote several stories for the magazine, during the semester. Harold Sabath did good work when he assumed the business end for the last two issues. Leo Rosenberg and jack Bentkover had charge of the grad writeups and were of invaluable aid in helping to lighten the editor's burdens. Aaron Bohrod cannot be praised too highly for the brilliant work he did. He is genius itself, in every department of the art game. Oil work, cartoons, and the higher art were all under his control. His quiet, unassuming, modest manner was as characteristic of him as the prompt way in which he assumed responsibility for work required on short notice. lsadore Milstein had charge of the School News department, also taking other special as- signments. His worlc was done promptlywa big item to his credit. Paul De Lott was the literary light with the great poetic inclinations and effu- sions which always graced our Poet's Page. lili Elman tool: care of the sporting department and could be depended upon to render unerriug. con- cise writeups of games. Sylvester Kessie, Louis Shapiro and Goldberg were the members of the business staff. Bartholomew was in charge of the publicity department. Mr. C. A. Mathisson of the Standard Engraving Co. gave the aid of his experience and many helpful suggestions. Matty and grey-haired Mr, Baer made one feel so at ease that it was hard to believe they were in the sordid, engraving line.

XVe defy any year, past, present or future, to produce a record that equals this! Here we have a section that has been more than IOOCZJ for every issue of Science and Craft! For one issue their percentage was ZZZZQ! Let that sink in! Their final average for the entire semester is over 1350f0!-And then they say that school-spirit is degenerating! The section to achieve such a remarkable record is 3Al. Miss lirown's protegees. The room editor is Eugene Dubin. Their percentage for each issue was as follows: September - ll7fk October lllfk November 111W 'December 22226 Seini-Annual H711 Complete average 135-3153 ' Too much cannot be said about the above record. It is mere'y a practical dem- onstration of what hard work, earnest school-spirit and genuine co-operation can accomplish. A few more sections with a record such as this would soon place Crane in a position of unparalleled supremacy. To get one hundred per cent for an issue of Science and Craft is an accomplish- ment! To get one hundred per cent for every issue is an achievement! But to get more than that for every issue-words fail us! We can merely extend our deepest thanks and gratitude to 3A1. We take this opportunity to do so! Not for the fact that it meant increased circulation: not for the fact that it meant two dimes more on each copyg not for the fact that it meant a giood advertisement for Science and Crafty BUT-because that is a real exemplifier of the true Crane spiritg because it shows what a group of really interested fellows can dog because it demonstrates that there are fellows who are plugging for Crane heart and soulg because it lights the way and spurs on weaker ones to the point of success!

Band N oics . The Crane Band of 192416 claims to be, and undoubtedly is, one of the best bands in the City of Chicago, and probably the best Crane has ever had. The band placed fourth in the annual competition meet held at Lincoln Park during the previous semester, and it has shown up Well at all times during military inspection. The present number of our band is sixty, and this number will be increased by the addition of thirty members of the Marquette Band. Consequently, we shall have a total of ninety pieces, the largest number that the Crane Band has ever had. It is surprising to note, that our band at Marquette, which is composed of be- ginners, consists of sixty members and at least seventy-five who are waiting for instruments that the school at present is unable to furnish the players. A majority of the players of Marquette will probably be good enough by next semester to join the regular band in time to take part in our annual competition with all the other high schools of Chicago. The success of our band is largely due to the untiring efforts of our faculty advisor, Mr. George H. Carter, and our musical instructor, Captain R. T. Butler. Mr. Carter has been our faculty advisor since 1918 and has done all in his power to bring the band up to its present status. Captain Butler, who came to us only a year ago, has worked wonders with the band, and is largely responsible for our creditable sh-owing at Lincoln Park. Besides playing at the competition meets and at military inspection, the band has played at various football games, and during' this semester the band will play at our basketball games. The commissions for this semester are as follows: Joseph Fierer-Captain Harold D. Sabath-lst Lieutenant and Drum Major Herman Nadel-lst Lieutenant Oren Moldal-2nd Lieutenant Only two of our players will be lost through graduation. The players are Captain J. Fierer and lst Lieutenant and Drum Maj-or Harold D. Sabath. Captain Fierer has been with the band for three years and has always been one of our best players. Drum Major Sabath has been with us only a year and a half, but we are sorry to lose him as well as our captain. Although Drum Major Sabath has been business manager of the Science and Craft, he has devoted a great deal of his time in helping the band up the road of success. At present he is our drum maj-or, so we will need someone to take his place next semester. ' Nfw INNENW 'HX-.

Fash , HE Reserve Officers Training Corps was organized in the High Schools of the United States totdervelop ,officers for the army, so that in case of war the Government may be able to draw upon men who have actual experience in the fundamentals of military training. Some of the citizens of our country are so conndent of our wealth and ability as to believe that, when an emergency arises, our spirit and loy- alty will effect a victory. But our great military leaders, through their experiences in the 'sixties and in the Great War, know that it was nec- essary to train the officers who were to train the men, duringa 'period when any loss of time might well have been fatal. To be sure, we were victorious, but only through the loss of many men with practically no knowledge of military tactics, who went to fight against a Well-trained army. It is, therefore, the purpose of the R. O. T. C. to give to the lads who will risk their lives to protect our beloved country, an early training in the fundamental principles of warfare. Many fellows have been reluctant to join the R. O. TL C. because it demands time after school for parades and formations. However, I can tell them t'hat it is well worth the time. The course not only strengthens a fellow physically, but it is practical in that he learns much that will be a great factor in his well-being in the time of war. He learns how to drill and work in unison with his fellow cadets. He learns the meaning of discipline-that it is a great factor in the well trained army. He learns how to handle a rifleg how to signalg the principles of guard duty, and many other things which form a thorough basic training. If he becomes on officer, not only will he have acquired the ability to handle men, not only will'he have learned the principles of military training, but he will have secured for himself something that will aid materially his success in the business world. VVe have, at our school, a Porfessor of Military Science and Tactics- Captain VVhite, who through his experience as a graduate of West Point, and as an officer in the recent war, is well Htted to give to every member of the R. O. T. C. just this training. So, as one who has received three and one-half years of this instruction from our'military instructors, I would urge every boy ot take advantage of the R. O. T. C. course. Q i Eighty-one GEORGE HALAS-'15, an old athlete of Crane, is now starring for the Chicago Bears. VVhen a student of Crane he made the all-city in every major sport, and was a 4C man.

ROBERTSON, JR.-'19, is now at West Point. He will graduate in June, '25, At the present time he is a cadet lieutenant, which is rather high ranks to hold. While at Crane he proved himself an all-round athlete by being one of the few 4C men. He has been on the Army track team for three years and has made his letter each year, by placing in the running broad jumps in which he jumps well over 22 feet. Yes, our own Bill Robertson is his brother. Cadet HORNISHER from the Class of '22 is also at West Point. He made a berth on the second bootball squad and has also made a name for himself at boxing.

The Triangle T COLLEGES there are fraternities known as honor fraternities, where men are accepted because of their leadership, their scholar- ship and their athletics, and are voted in without application. At Crane there is a similar society, the ultra-exclusive fraternity, the elite of the schooluethe Triangle. In order to become voted into this organization, one must have more than onenactivity of considerable merit to his credit, he must have a schol- astic standing of I3 or over, and he must have attained a certain degree of popularity. There are, at present, thirteen members in the Triangle. Of these eight will graduate in February, leaving quite an opening for -ani-1 bitious students. - ' ,The officers this year were lPresident, Albert Levyg Vice-President, Ben lialninskyg Secretary, hlaek Sheri 'I'reasurer, Henry Maurice, and Sergeant-at-Arms.

The world is covered by a thick black mist-like cloud that hides from those above the horrible scenesbeing enacted below. Now and then great flashes of lightning or tremendous thunder- ing is seen or heard penetrating this black cloud. A world is at war! A world is committing suicide! Nation is murdering nation! Brother is murdering brother! Nobody could stop it. It was like a box of Hreworks set on fire and there was no means with which to extinguish it. It was contagious. One nation after another got the lighting lust. It was in the people's blood. They were crying for murder. Murder! Murder! Mur- der! The great men of the day said that it would take a long, long time be'- fore it would come to an end. But they were mistaken. Like a 1nid-sum- mer shower the black clouds dispersed, and the sun came out throwing its hopeful rays on a peaceful world. Like a great newspaper sensation the public easily forgot, and soon all the traces of war had vanished. Did I say all? Nog there is one thing that every war will leave. This is the men, the soldiersg those heroes who have been wounded and who will carry the marks of war as long as they live. Upon the world hundreds of thousands of these unfortunates were scattered. advertising the horrible thing war really is. Jerry was one of these unfortunates. He had been through it all, and had received the trade-mark. He was shell-shocked. His memory had been completely lost, and he remembered nothing of his past. For this reason we know him only as Jerry. He had obtained that name at the hos- pital. VVhy they had called him Jerry no one seemed to know. He had grown tired of the hospital, and had gone away without notifving anyone. VVith a blank mind and a very vague knowledge of the world he started to wander about in France. After a hard time roughing it, he arrived at Paris. Paris, the city of fashiong the city of beautyg the city of gaiety, and the city of the Apache. Jerry, not looking for the gaiety, the fashions or the beauty. wandered into the poverty-stricken section of the cityg the home of the Apache. Ei gh ty- six . l . ....,, A -. X ,Z ,A 1 gf A '- .- ' l . 1 c- . After wandering about almost all night, he at last sat down on a doorstep to reflect. He was downhearted. He was discouraged. NVho was he? What was he doing here? VVhy was he not living and enjoying life like others? Then he remembered that he was hungry and not a franc in his pocket. XlVl1Cl'C was he going to eat? VVhere was he going ot sleep? lfVhat was ...... He felt a light tap on his shoulder. Looking up he saw the form of a man outlined in the light of the doorway. The man was tall and dark complected. His clothes were like those of all other men of that section of the French capital. His cap was pulled down over the side of his, head, covering a black patch on one eye. Here was the true type of Apache. There was a slight smile on his mouth, and he whispered in French :' XVhy the meditations, my dear friend ? Jerry did not answer. He gazed steadily at his ragged shoes, wishing ot be alone. The stranger continued: You,'re a stranger here, is it not so? Jerry nodded. This is a bad place for strangers. You must be acquainted to live peacefully here. Is it not so, stranger? Again Jerry nodded. lWhat is the matter with you? VVhy don't you answer? Are you mute? Are you sick? Tired? Maybe you're hungry? At this jerry looked up, but said nothing. But the look in his face was enough to convince the Apache. Oh-ho! You're hungry! VVell, well! Come, let me get you some- thing to eat. The stranger took 'Terry by the arm and, half walking, half dragging, brought him to a cheap restaurant in the cellar of an old shack. Here jerry ate to his heart's content, and, after several glasses of old French wine, he was listening to what the Apache was saying. Here's the whole works. All you got to do is to get in the house and let me know if everything is O. K. Then you're through. Now, isn't that easy money ?,' Jerry half heard what the man had said. He was too tired, too down- hearted, too disgusted with life to care for anything. He consented to go anywhere with his new friend. This was the beginning of many notorious robberies, with jerry as the tool under Petrie, the Apache. One day Petrie was desperate. He was sick of the small dividends of his many robberies, and at last decided to go into it big. He planned with jerry to rob the home of a very noted Frenchman where he knew there was a large fortune stored away somewhere in the house. Now, we must be careful on this job, jerry. You do not seem to care about the police, but you must be careful. This house is carefully watched. jerry, as usual, promised to be careful. :ac gk wk There is a party at the home of Monsieur La Vell, the noted poet and music composer. The affair is given in honor of the great success 1 Eighty- seven of his latest poem My Pal. L Monsieur La Vell is a tall, dark Frenchman with all the traits of the nobleman that he really is. Dinner is being served, and the poet is asked to speak. The Frenchman. after some hesi- tation, slowly begins: ' My dear friends, in clear, pure French. It has been verv seldom that you have heard me speak of my experiences during the war. There are several reasons for this. First, as you all know, I do not wish to re- late what every living person in this world would have done, and 1nanv have. Now, second, and more important, is what I will now relate. If you had read my poem 'My Pal,' you no doubt would have seen that I have tried to tell you something that is deep in my heart. Something over which I have been pining and fretting. The poet stopped. There was a cough, and then he continued: It was out there in No Man's Land that I Erst met my pal. Robert Streater, the noted American violinist. We were great pals, Bob and I, and many nights we would play for our other buddies at the 'Yf One awful night we were commanded to go over the top. Bob was ,at my side, and together we went into hell. A grenade exploded at my side and I fell. The Allies had retreated and I was alone with a wound in my head. But Bob had seen me fall. He came back. Imagine, with the Huns almost on top of us, and he carried me back to safety. After that he went out again, but he never returned. I have searched every- where, but I could not hnd him. Now I have given up. I-Ie must be dead. But I have made him live forever in that poem. I poured out what was in my heart in those lines, and they will live-yes, live forever. There were tears in his eyes, yet he soon became gay, and the party was resumed. :l: 11: :lf The last guest had left. La Vell walked slowly into his library and sat down wearily at the piano. I-Iis heart was full of grief, and, as he slowly tapped the ivory keys, a melody flowed majestically forth. It was the song that Bob had loved, and it was the song that the poet loved. I-Ie was still playing, the tears in his eyes, as every note brought memories of the man who had been his pal and who had saved his life. The song was now ending. The last chord was being played. Then .... li 53 Crack! The sound echoed and re-echoed throughout the night. There was a crashing of glass as a man's body fell through the glazed French door in front of the poet. Monsieur La Vell leaned over the form of the wounded man and with a shriek grabbed him in his arms and shouted: Bob! Bobby !'i VVhere have you been? Vtfhat has happened to you? Speak! Speak. man, speak! ' 'lerry's eves slowly opened, a smile on his mount, and in a jerky man- ner he muttered: ' That music That music! I knew I heard it somewhere, somewhere far. far awav! But now I know! I know! But it's too late. Eh. pal? Too late! Those French cops are pretty slick, pretty slick. Should have minded Petrie. but I couldn't go away. That song! That-that melody! I-Iow clear! How clear! But it's too late-too late! And the man died in the poet's arms.

Tired of the Genuine Purity and Simplicity of the Great Open Spaces where Men are Men, etc.-, etc., this big Pie-Faced Yokel set out for the Cruel City, where Society and its Amuse- ments are one big Gilded Sham. On his Arrival there with his Faithful Nag, he was just in time to save the Life of the Wall Street Millionaire's Daughter on her Runaway Horseg said Daughter having' been out West, and, having tired of Aforesaid Purity and Simplicity of the Great Open Spaces and Yearned for Aforesaid Gilded Shams, had returned to Aforesaid Cruel City to partake again in Society's False Glittering Whirl of Gaiety. Several 'days later, having saved her from the Insidious Wiles of an Un- scrupulous City Slicker, he asked her Father for her Hand, but her Old Man refused him on the Grounds that he fthe Man from the Great Open Spacesj was too good for her fthe Girl of the Gilded Shaml. However, a few days later the Big'-Hearted Yokel saved the Old Boy from Financial Ruin, chewed a Stick of Gum out of Pure Cussedness, promised to become a Lounge Lizard, and won the Bloated Millionaire's Consent. So the Two were Married and Lived Alcohol- ically Ever Afterwards.

Accountancy is one of the highest salaried professions today. Salaries range from 33,000 to 315,000 a year, and in many cases even more. Public accounting firms, large corporations, and the United States Government are seeking accountants and Certified Public Accountants. Junior and Senior Accountants, capable of earning 325 to 35100 per day, are wanted everywhere. The Journal of Accountancy says, There are not enough C. P. A.'s in the United States to do the work offered in New York City alone. Mr. Robert Montgomery, EX-President of the American Associa- tion of Public Accountants, now a member of the Executive Commit- tee of the American Institute of Public Accountants, and author of some of the best text books on accounting principles Written, said in a recent addressg Something must be done at once to increase the num- ber of accountants. Already the amount of Work de- volving upon reputable accountants of the country is considerably in excess of their normal capacity, and the present difficulties will be enormously enhanced unless We can secure from our institutions of learning a vastly greater number of qualified accountants. 4 We oder also an attractive private secretarial courseg both courses being under University trained instructors. .pf if 1,4 HR X, Y..
