THE CRANSTONIAN Board has aimed this year to publish a book which will give a somewhat complete and entertaining account of the events of the school year and which will at the same time reflect the spirit of our school. This year has been in many ways a progressive one. The Hockey Team has won for the school our fourth hockey pennant, the school has become a member of the Rhode Island Honor Society, our library has increased to over 1200 volumes, a Student Council has been organized by which the students will have a voice in school matters, and the graduates of Cranston High School have organized an active Alumni Association. Yet all through the year we have felt more and more the need of more space and better equipment. Especially we need a larger auditorium, a better lunch room, and a gymnasium. The auditorium is so small that the Freshmen are not able to come to assembly. Last year but few of the closest friends of the Seniors could see them graduate because of the small ca-pacity of the hall. That the lunch room is very inadequate you will discover on reading further -in this book. Because of the crowded condition of our school, Physical Training and Sewing classes have to be carried on at the same time in the auditorium. This leaves the hall practically useless for rehearsals or oral practice in school time. We need an addition to relieve these crowded conditions, and in it we need a gymnasium where all the students can get proper exercise and healthful enjoyment. At present we must do simple exercises in the narrow aisles of the class rooms. All good High Schools of our size are equipped with gymnasiums, and we feel that those who are interested in us should realize that the development of sound bodies and healthy minds is just as important as any other factor school education. But material things alone do not make a school. W'hat is more important is the spirit which permeates it. This spirit is to the school what patriotism is to the nation. Without patriotism our country would be a mere stretch of land, and without school spirit our school would be but a building. Just as our patriotism makes our country something real and dear to us, our schol spirit makes our school real to us and an object of our love. Acknowledgments It is evident that the majority of onr students take an interest in their school and believe that they are loyal to it. But it is one thing to talk about school spirit and another to be really willing to work for the good ofthe whole school, even if it means a little personal inconvenience. For example, ive greeted the idea of a Stzldent Uouncil -with enthusiasm and promised it our support, The real test of school spirit will come -when ive are asked to do something to support the council when it begins its activities. In many other -ways ice can express our gratitude to the sources of our intellectual and physical growth. For instance, ice can show a spirit of willingness to do our part in serving -where ice are needed, whether it is in working on comm ittees, in taking a major or minor part in an entertainment, in defending our school from the attacks of others, or in us-ing our initiative to do what ive can towards obtaining a gymnasium. In sending out the CRANSTONIAN, the Board hopes that the material of this book will be an inspiration to the students, alumni, and others who may read it, and that it will create in them, the desire to do everything they can to make Cranston High School the best possible. I go 4.4.4..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g. The Cranston-ian Board wishes to take this opportunity to express its appreciation to all those who in any way helped to make this book a success. In particular, we wish to extend our thanks to the artists, whose drawings add much to the appearance of the book, to lVent- worth Massie for his printingg to the class representatives, who were re- sponsible for the material represent- ing their classes, to the Seniors for their work on the personals, espec- ially James Benson, Robert Bolan. Bertha Rydberg, and Dorothy Hamp- song to the contributors of jokes, especially Robert Bolan, Dorothy VanKirk, and Chester VVordeng to Edna Burdett for her help in typingg and to the solicitors of advertise- ments, whose work we have men- tioned in another part of the book. But it is to our Faculty advisers that we owe our greatest debt of gratitude. Miss Kaneis valuable business advice has kept the Crans- ton-ian from any financial difficulties and has made the venture success- ful, and Miss Carpenter's generous use of time and effort has made the book possible. , , D63.g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g. .g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g..g. .g..g..g..g. .g. .g..g..g..g..g.. . .

Every- XVll0l'P were gloom and darkness, and at intervals tl1e so1111d of fearful shrieks and groans. O11t of the sl1ad- ows came a, venerable 1112111 with long white beard and loosely flowing robe. With measured step he approached me, leaning 011 a high crooked cane, a11d he spoke but two words, Follow 1110 ll' 'llrembling a11d quaking in fear lest I might be destined for Hades, I thought over all the deeds of a mis- spent life, wondering WIIQIIIQI1 they were all known and I would be judged according to Iilixlll. My guide led me through the horrid kingdoms teeming witl1 people suffering un- speakable plll1lSlllll'6I1IS for tlheir crimes. All stared as we passed by, but, to my joy, none were known to me. At last, with tl1e aid of the golden bough, we passed from that polluted land, through tl1e palace of Pluto a11d Ollt to the beautiful lands WllCI'C dwell tl1e happy souls. Everywhere reigned joy and con- tent1ne11t. I suddenly beca111e aware that my g11ide had vanished into the shadows bffilllld 1118 with no word of farewell, a11d tl1at these, the Elysian Fields, were to be Illy future home. Wandering along tl1e banks of the silently flowing Lethe, I came 11pon a sweet mossy dell, wl1ere were a band of people who looked strangely fa- miliar. All seemed to be patiently waiting for my approach, for they jumped up and hastened to meet me. In amazement I recognized my fel' low inembers of tl1e February class of 1923. VVl1at at reunion we had, all talking at once i11 the attempt to hear all the news! Out of tl1e clamor of voices, I learned that I was the last of the class to arrive and that we should soon be summoned to- gether before Pluto. This, in trutl1, was the caseg for soon Hermes flew into our midst and escorted us to the golden palace and into the presence of aged King Pluto. Stern looked the mighty ruler seated on his lofty throne, and not a few of us trembled at the thought of our misdeeds. IVith sceptre upraised, tl1e judge of mortal men spoke thus: '20 ye mortals, now gathered here before me, listen to my words! I, the king of the dead, look with favor upon you and desire to make blest your future lives. After careful ob- servation, I conclude that, although you have all succeeded to an extra- ordinary degree in your later years, your happiest and most profitable days were spent at Cranston High School. So it is t11at I have had you brought before me here, as a class. f'To you, as a class, I grant the loveliest of all the glens of the Ely- sian Fields for your permanent home. Long have I watched the graduating classes of old Cranston, intending to award this to the very finest of all. Your class shines like the evening star in the midst of the heavens, outshadowing all others. Many are the gifts now in the school, particularly in the library, that stand as memorials to your faithful service to your Alma Mater. Hear, now, the achievements of your indi- vidual members! Bride, McNamara, Gould, Koran, and Morris, to you I give these C's of gold as rewards for the athletic glory you have won for old Cranston. Sadie Mowry and Margaret Mac- Kay, receive this same reward, since you as members of the basketball team shared the athletic honors. Clifton Bagley and Dorothy Hampson, this sock and buskin are H fitting rewards for you, since oft have you invoked tl1e muse and de- lighted your school with the actor's art. May you continue to amuse us likewise down here! t'Do1'is Davenport and Doris Bald- win, your part in the school orches- tra and in the minstrel shows ren- ders fitting these rewards of lyre and harp. Edythe Pine, finest of all Latin students, instead of rewarding you for execllcnce in your studies, since I have nothing whatever worthy of you, I grant you eternal rest from holding further secretaryships. It seems fitting and proper-for me to do this since you have so often faith- fully served in this capacity. 'tLoretta Stevens, this cup en- graved 'Loyalty and Fidelity,' is a fitting tribute to your worth of char- acter. 'fMildred Fisher, I present to you this 1923 Cranstonian bound in gold and studded with gems, since your editorship of this book proves that a girl can successfully hold such a position. Massie, take this golden gavel, symbolic of your executive ability as president of the Senior Class. 'fAfter due consideration, I have decided, Bolan, as a reward for your wit to make you court jester. Your 4Hitching Post' created many a laugh among your class-mates and even among those teachers who were for- tunate enough to read it. But lo! time flies! I need not speak further of the innumerable merits of your class. Back to the Elysian Fields, all of you, for I decree that the remainder of your lives be spent there, as a reward for your accomplishments at Cranston High School.

DEAR J OHN D.: I received your letter several days ago and was very glad to hear that you have at last perfected your au- tomobile engine to run on diluted salt water. I shall be glad to get a letter in the near future, informing me that your idea about perpetual motion has bee11 accepted, and then the name of one graduate of Crans- ton High School will go down in his- tory. You asked if I knew anything about any members of our class of 1923. As a matter of fact, I didn't k110SV much, except that Thoresen, the wireless bug, had established an Electrical School here in Boston, which is growing very fast, and that Jimmie Greene was the best known Certified Accountant in the state, but the other day while stopping in Providence on some business, I hap- pened to notice an ad in a paper tell- ing the people to buy their dye-stuffs from a certain G. M. Neal. Looking up the company, I found Granny Neal in business for himself making dyes. You remember what a lot of noise he was always making in school, always talking, well, he hasn't changed a bit and in the few minutes I talked to him I learned the history of many of our old class. He surprised me by telling me that Reg Hayward and Harry Graves have gone into the Optical business as partners. This seemed a surprise for some unaccountable reason, but I guess they aren't any more sur- prising than SOIIIQ other people I Class know. Gould and Chic Udell are such well known salesmen that Neal told me to keep away from them if I didntt want to buy anything. He said that they could sell spectacles to blind men. They started their careers by selling Cranstonian ads. The Vallones, after graduating from three or four colleges, have settled down in Providence in an enterpris- ing chiropractor business. I learned that Keach and Mastrobono, the two Adonises of the class, had, after a brief attempt at vaudeville, bought out the Emery Brothers a11d the Rhodes Brothers, and were running practically all tl1e amusements in the city, and that Clifton Bagley, who starred in High School plays, is with the Albee Stock Company, and, according to Neal, is the bee's knees. I learned that Pauline Jones was teaching free-hand drawing at the Rhode Island School of Design, and that Billy Williams and Atlanta MacIntosh are teaching at old C. H. S. Can you beat that? When he told me that, I almost fell over. Mildred Miller is the head of a school for young women, and Madge Marcroft, who always seemed to have an air of authority about her, has recently been re-elected to the state senate from Cranston. I had to leave him then, but I promised to spend some week-end with him to learn about the rest of the crowd. Then I will write and tell you how some of the others of our class, of which I think we have a right to be proud, have made out. Your old school chum, Es I,Ef'IiHA1I DOROTHY LILLIAN AKEROYD Dotty, Dot Girls' Athletic Association 145 5 'Thyrsus Club 1-15. As merry as the day is Yong. Here is our Dotty. lShe left us in her lfreslnnan year, but she could not forget 'Cranston High and came back to graduate with the class of '23. Dot has not been here long: enough for all of ns to get thoroughly acquainted with her, but those of us who do know her find her to be as fun- loving and ready for a good time as a11y of us. She is a jolly companion and classmate, and a loyal supporter of the class treasury. In the fall, Dotty expects to go to Kingston.

Not only is he prominent in football and hockey circles. but he is the power behind the throne in the Boys' Athletic Association. Andy sings very well, and as a ineinber of the Fresilnnan quarteftte he once entertained us in the hall. lle is not going to Penibroke, as his nanie niight suggest, but intends to enter Kingston, Where we know he will do as well and be just as well liked as at Cranston. 14 CLIFTON YINAL BAGLEY Cliff.

He is going to Brown, and after he graduates we expect he will become an actor and we shall see his name in brilliant lights on Broadway.

Although Mr. Bosworth h2lSl1't 'become weary reading her name in honor lists, her scholastic record is good. In January, the orchestra lost a faithful violin-ist and we a jolly companion when she went to Mrs. Gi'bb's secretarial school. It is easier to think of singing, dancing, fiddling Doris as an entertainer than as a quiet secretary. Perhaps, after all, she will go to college or to a dramatic school in the fall.

He stars in the pole-vault. and several times the interscholastic record has been almost within his reach. He has shown ability as an actor in the Thyrsus Club plays. His rc- lialrility as Business Manager has guided this year's 1Yran..Qton,i11n to Hnancial success. John's hobby is 'building boats, and he is just as enthusiastic and capable a worker in this as we find l1i1n in school life. His future is un- decided, but his brains and ability will bring him any posi- tion he may desire. 19 FRANK DAVOL ICASTERBROOKS Easter, Collision, Vars Boys' Athletic Association 113 123 133 143g Thyrsus Club 113 123 133 1435 Track 133: Manager 1-133 Foot- ball 143.

Beth plans to become a nurse, which is just the future we would pick out for her. since her serious half will allow her to be capable and reliable. while she can use her smily half to cheer those worse off than herself.

The poet speaks truly. for when Marion begins to laugh. no one can remain sober. 1She just has to laugh or else talk, and no one can talk forever. She does 11ot seem to mind the. stern glances of the teachers at all. But d0n't think that Marion does nothing but have a good time. She finds time enough to be serious so that sl1e studies and has her lessons well. ttliigglesu expects to enter the Rhode Island Uollege of Education i11 the fall and prepare to be- co111e a teacher.

We commend her as one of those who make Cranston such a line school. There is seldom a committee or organization among the upper classmen in which she doesn't hold an important office, and to which she doesnt lend her ability as a leader. Mid has a particular talent for poetryg and as for oratory, we listen to her with awe. Combined with these sterling qualities are a love of fun, a charming dis- position. and a thoroughly delightful sneeze. XVe know that when she goes to Brown with the other musketeers. she will do as much good and be as much loved as here. WILLIAM l'll,I,SWOR'l'IfI GUULD, JR.

She came to us only a year zlllll a half ago from Tech. 'In that short time. we have found her to be a pleasant and interesting: -classmate. She is a line seam- stress: we have often wondered how she tinds time to make all of her clothes.

If Mil goes to a dance, Ethel is sure to go with her. Mil is very fond of dancing. She is a jolly natured girl and has many friends at Cranston. She has studied commercial subjects in schoolg her favorite is stenography, and she excels in typewriting. She intends to go to a secretarial school and then to type her way successfully through the world.

'iiml when a Zarlgfs in the Case, Yoa know all other things give place. Jimmie is an ofiicer of the famous 'Student Council, of which we hear much, but see little. Apparently he is not overburdened with the duties of otlice. Jimmie is an au- thority on tennis. He wanted to play football, but could never get a suit. And in addition to being a tennis expert and a would-be football star, Jimmie is an actual sailor. ln his Senior year he started rushing all the girls, and will probably continue to do so in Peimsylvaniia next year. NVQ all like Jimmie and wish him the very best of success. 22 L1 LLIAN MATIIILDA GVSTAFSOX Gusty , Thyrsus Club 111 121 131 1-11, Girls' Athlctic Club 111 121 131 141. So light of foot, so light of spirit. Gusty is one of the liveliest girls in our lively class. a jolly and happy-,-ro-lucky girl. She and Mar are almost always seen together. Gusty's favorite pastime is dancing, and much of her time outside of school is spent in tripping the light fantastic, She is always on hand at the school dances, too. ,She finished the Commercial Course in Feb- ruary and left us to go to work until after graduation. Then perhaps she and Mar will go to some business school, where they will 'continue their education together.

Dot is quite talented, too. She draws pictures. plays the violin very well, and as a toe dancer she charms us. Dot is one of the tl11'ee mus- keteers who intend to enter Brown in the fall. Dot would like to travel as a concert player after her college career is over. We predict a brilliant future in that or whatever else she undertakes. ANNIE XVYATT HANDLICY LKAnne9!

Anne plans to go to 'Simmons to take a librarian's course, and we are conlident that if she does as well in her studies there as she has at Cranston, she will get through success- fully and become a charming little librarian.

One morning she crushed a black stocking mask over her nicely curled loc-ks just to let us see how funny it looked. lVho else would have thus gladly risked the appearance of her coiffure to oblige us? You can depend on her to do her part. whether it's fun or lessons. For the last two years she has sung in the min- strel show chorus. 'She is interested in athletics, having played on the basketball team, taken part in field day sports at Rocky Point, and led one of the l'0011lS in physical training.

Went is one of those to whom the call of the mathematics book is more potent than that of the athletic field.

It was opened at once and I was ushered into a large room, in the center of which was an in1n1e11se globe, which ap- peared very misty. Before the globe sat a woman, who rose and asked me what I wished. I replied in a shaky voice, for l, was rather frightened, that I should like to see the members of the 4B class of Cranston High School as they will be in 1934. She smiled graciously, and beck- oned me nearer the huge globe. She then lnumbled some queer words in a language that I did not under- stand. At once the mist i11 the globe began to clear and there before me was a court room. Sitting in the judge's chair was Vincent Cum- mings, who looked very dignified. I glanced around the room quickly, and to my surprise I saw a court stenographer, whom I recognized as Eva Melone. The scene vanished as quickly as it had appeared, and in its place there was a group of half-clothed little savages, huddled together under a tree. Before them stood a woman, who was telling them a story. I looked at the woman and saw it was Edna Burdett, preaching to the natives of India. This scene was then transformed into a school assembly over which Bertha Hinds presided. Here Janet Reed was a kindergarten teacher, while Ida Buonanno and Esther Thomas were Physical Training in- structors. Again the scene changed -to a lawyer's office. At the desk was seated Earle Madison, who looked very important, as he gave orders to his assistant, Thomas Sa' vella. A number of girls were work- ing in the office, Estella Martin and Louise Capace among them. Next I saw a large building, on one window of which I saw written, 'tPerson and Cuddy, Real Estate Agents, on another, Vera Harris, Piano Instructor, and on another, Thelma Urquhart, Gift Shop. The next scene took me to Brown University, where I found Charles Cloudman and Henry Wise as in- structors in science, while at Pem- broke l found Frances Curley as a Latin teacher and Doris Burbank as Librarian. Just then an aeroplane crashed down into the globe. On the side of it was written, Horton and Med- vetz, Trans-Continental Express. At this moment the passengers began to alight. Among them were Hazel Barnard and her husband, who was a French Count. But how--. 't0h, you have broken the spell, we can see no more to-day,l' said the lady, who up to this time had been silent. ELsA PETERSON, '24 ttfsifgji The Skippefs Lucky Star lVilliam McLeod, Ex-Commander, U. S. N., l1ad been released from the Service at Bremen two weeks before, much to the regret of the officers and me11 of his command, who admired hi111 for his courageous, resolute, and resourceful leadership. XV h e n he sought a means of transportation to the States, he found that the next regular passenger steamer was not to leave for over a month. He had been about town all the morning and had just bounded into his apartments, his face wreathed in smiles. ' lVell, Iilltllfi he said to his wife, as she helped hi111 out of his coat, ttI've got some real news for you. They settled themselves comfort- ably on the divan and he told her the news. HI stopped in the office of the Green Star Steamship Company this morning and was offered the cap- taincy of the S. S. Potomac, for o11e trip across. She is a combination freight and passenger steamer, which they have just bought, cargo and all, and which will be ready to sail next Monday. Of course, I accepted. They also gave me a letter to their holne office in New York, which they seem sure will have an opening for me. t'VVhy, lVill, you certainly must have been born under a lucky star, said his wife. 'tlsn't that great? I'd better get busy. There's lots to do in the next few days. Monday morning the S. S. 'Poto- mac steamed slowly out of Bremen. Captain McLeod, pacing the bridge- deck, showed more concern than usual. Never before had he com- manded a ship on which his wife was a passenger. About dusk the captain wrote out the night orders and retired to his quarters. He had made himself com- fortable a11d was chatting amiably with his wife when he heard a cho- rus of howls and a trample of feet out on deck. Hurrying out into the passageway he ran squarely i11to the Chief Engineer. There,s a fire in the hold just aft of the fire-room, sir, and the stokers have deserted their stationsf' he said, all in 0118 breath. ttllrive them back to their boilers and take measures to keep them there, ordered the skipper, as he turned on his heel and hurried out on the bridge. He looked down on the deck at a scene of wild confusion. The pas- sengers had scrambled out on deck, more or less scantily attired, and were trying to get into the life-boats. '4Allan, he called to the iirst mate, you and your men return all passengers to their staterooms, and, if necessary, lock them in. Crew and passengers thus taken care of, he turned his attention to tl1e fire. Although numerous streams of water were pouring into the hold, smoke was pouring out of the hatch in increasing volume. Tons of Water were poured into the hold during the next few hours, but the heat of the fire still increased. Dawn arrived, the fire still un- abated, and the skipper feared he would have to abandon his ship. He tra111ped back a11d forth across the deck, deep wrinkles in his forehead, evidently deeply engrossed in his thoughts. Suddenly his face cleared and he said, half aloud, 'fThat,s it. He had thought of a tactic used dur- ing the war to dodge enemy subma- rines. Calling to the Chief Engi- neer, he said, f'Get those stockers below and give her full speed ahead. The Engineerts chin dropped, but he said nothi11g. He then went rapidly to his stateroom, procured two ugly automatics, and clambered below to carry out orders. At last the Spanish and Filipino firemen were driven back to the iireroom, which was then an inferno of heat, smoke, and water. The speed of the engines was gradually increased un- til the timbers vibrated from stem to stern. The captain took the wheel, and when he was sure that the vessel had attained its maximum speed, he threw the rudder hard over to port. The ship careened wildly to star- board, loose truck slid noisily across the deck, and a howl arose from the imprisoned passengers. For a mo- ment it seemed that the ship must eapsize. He held this course as long as he dared, then released the rud- der, and the ship quickly righted it- self. Steam rose in clouds from the burning hold and a loud hissing drowned tl1e voices. But the skipper knew his little stunt had turned the trick. The sharp Veer of the ship had thrown the tons of water that had accumu- lated at the bottom of the hold up over the names in one vast sheet. He ordered the passengers released, turned the wheel over to his subor- dinate, and repaired to his state- room. f'XVell, Ruthief' he said, in answer to his wifels admiring look, 'fl guess welre setting pretty now. It looks like another manifestation of that lucky star. The Potomac glided quietly into the North River. She listed a little and her after gear was black and smoky, but she did not look bad enough to attract attention. VVhen the skipper and his wife stepped out onto the deck, a hearty cheer rose from the lips of crew and passengers. ' WVhen Captain McLeod entered his employerls office, he was struck by the cordiality with which he was re- ceived. The reason for this was soon known to hi1n. A detailed report of the fire incident had been received by the head of the firm from the radio operator aboard the Potomac. He was given a position with a substan- tial salary. There,s one thing moref' said the manager, clearing his throat: Mper- haps you do not know that this firm has never lost a ship or passenger during its eighty years of operation, and, to show our gratitude to you for keeping our books clear, the board of directors has held a special meeting and voted to make you a present of a budget sufficient to pur- chase a home close at hand. Captain McLeod was so affected that he couldn't speak. Biting his lips and swallowing hard, he shook hands all around 211111 hastily left the office. After he had met his wife and had told her all that had taken place, she said, 'fVVill, let's pray that your lucky star will never cease to shine. Rnssnm. C. lVI1LLnn, ex-'23 E A.

Again in hockey, Rennie and Taylor helped win the pennant, and Jimmie Allen- son was the efficient manager of the team. Although Taylor is the only one of our class on the baseball team, we have Seelen, Rennie, Prior, and Sundquist doing good work on the track. The girls are prominent in athletics also.

The Pretty Little Lass A BALLADE or X11 OLDEN DAYS A pretty little lass one day Was walking in the lane, When galloped up a youthful lord, Who stopped and drew l1is rein. tfMy pretty lass, what is your name? Inquired t11e gallant knight. 'tIt's Jean, my lord, replied the lass, A-shaking in her fright. 'CA pretty name-a pretty lass- 'And pray, where is your home 'P' It,s just around the turning, sir, My mother's there alone. How would you like to marry me And be a lady fine? You'd dress in silks and velvets gay And on rich dainties dine. I cannot leave my mother dear, For Pm her only one, And she would die, I'm sure, my lord, If she were left alone. The knight he frowned so terribly That Jean fair shook with fear. Said he, 'CI can't help that, my lass, You must me wed, my dear. And then this cruel lord so bold fHer tears he did not mindj Just turned his horse and took Jean's hand And swung her up behind. He wedded her and took her home To his fine hall so old, He gave her silks and velvets gay, And precious stones, and gold. But Jean did naught but weep and sigh, Shedding many a tear, For she did of her mother think, Her mother, old and dear. She put not on the dresses fine, Nor wore the jewels rareg VVith grieving sore she pined away And died within a year. The wicked knight did so repent His cruel, cruel deed That he gave all his gold away And died in want and need.

The auditorium was decorated in green and yellow, while peeping from the branches of pine trees on the stage were Hcutiev dolls of all descrip- tions. Frank XVildes as the 'fSheikW tow- ered high above the others there and seemed to be having a perfectly love- ly time spinning pretty maidens around a11d around. Marjorie NVells, as a Spanish senorita, cast coquet- tish glances from under her lace mantilla at her Spanish cavalier. A majestic lady of night glided noise- lessly through the hall, seeming to enshroud the whole party in a mys- terious and awed silence as she passed. When her mask was rc- moved, we saw the face of Gertrude Potter. Cowboys, too numerous to name, rambled among the crowd and smiled kindly at pretty little Jap- anese maidens as they shyly pattered by. A coy little sunbonnet girlie kept us guessing, until she giggled, and then we recognized .Dorothy Clarke. t'Billy Prior, dressed as a Mexican, with Kathi-yne Keefe as a d0ll1111'0 Swedish maid, marched around several times before any one would join the111 for the Grand March. Mrs. Fenner, Mrs. Bosworth, Mrs. Massie, and Mrs. Potter, together with several of the Faculty, were present as patronesses. Some of the Facility members were seen gaily whirling around with the mas- queraders. At eleven o'clock. Ullome. Sweet Homel' drifted through the air, and the nicest party of the year was over. 1l0RO'i'HY VAN KIRK, '24.

Evelyn Higgins, Chairinan of the reunion coininitteef' How long that trip eastward seemed until we arrived in Provi- dence! And H1011 came that 1110111015 able evening when we, the best class ever graduating from dear old Cranston, again gathered to see how kind fate had been. Mr. Bosworth, still Principal, greeted us as we entered the new auditorium. A glance was enough to show what a fine rooln it was. The rest of the building had also changed, classroom after classroom had been added: and the library, now one of the finest in the state, had long ago outgrown the old rooni. How like old times it seemed! Here was Elinor Margeruin, our French and Geometry star, trying to tell Elinor Parmelee, who was teaching History in New Jersey, what success she had had with a group of small children learning their three R's. A little further away was Louis Cook, our Math and Chemistry marvel, busily telling John Martin and Russel Chase about his family and his work in one of the college laboratories. John was a prosperous farmer, while Russel wore the uniform of a submarine commander. In one corner a crowd had collected, in the center of which were Dan Fitts and Alvan Ander- son. These two owned a ranch in Arizona, and Dan was telling his classmates how much his track work had helped him in rounding up their stock and chasing thieving Mexicans home. Some one produced letters from Elin Malmborg, who was studying art in Paris, and Ruth and Ernest Barnes, both of whom were missionaries in Africa. Bob Mar- shall and Dot Knott contributed some bits of information. Bob owned a store in Providence, while Dorothy had been the Physical Training Director in the Rhode Island schools for several years. Ida Anderson and Florence Brinkerhoif were both happily married, while Alva was an interior decorator with her headquarters in New York. Among our missing members were Ruth Rostedt, George Ringler, and Gunnar Olsenius. Ruth had con- tinued her work in Botany, and, like Mildred, had made a number of long voyages' for specimens. Gunnar had become famous for his sermons, for the fame of which he gave all credit to his work in English at Cranston. Ringler, the pride of his English teachers, was a well known editorial writer for the New York Times and the author of more than a dozen popular novels.

Therefore, when we met again in September, we were all agreeably sur- prised. As we sat in the hall. patiently waiting to be alphabetically sorted out, we were by far the most hopeful looking class that had ever entered the portals of Cranston High School. From that day forth, it became apparent that this class was to blaze a trail hitherto unknown to preceding Freshmen. To quote Mr. Reynolds, we were the ttfreshest freshiesw that had ever graced the dignified atmosphere of Cranston High. Perhaps this opinion was shared by our long-suffering home-room teachers. In spite of the fact that we have such a reputation, we have very logical minds. If you are in the least doubt of this, we cordially invite you to visit some of Miss Kennedy's Algebra classes. As for History, there never was a class that so whole- heartedly responded to Mr. Reynolds, method of teaching. YVe were so fond of music that for one period on every Friday for six memorable months we made the entire school, from cel- lar to skylight, echo with our joyous bursts of song. Moreover, some of us couldn't be kept out of the orchestra. But perhaps the most enjoyable period of the whole day is that one between 11:45 and 12:00 A. M. That, indeed, is the most crammed period of all, in more ways than one. WVhile speaking of pleasant things, let us add a few words about the Physical Training periods. Ah, that is the time when Room I is on its mettle! Then is heard the stamp of many feet, the groans of the devotees of this popular p2lStl1ll0, and the weary voice of the exhausted leader, drowning out all other noises in the building. ln spite of the fact that we have not gone out much for ath- letics, we are nevertheless enthusiastic rooters for our various 55 plllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllii if he elflll llllll ll Illllllllllllllll --1 u 1 - - un an - a - .- .- - - .- 4 .- u- - .- ': - , - , - - - l - ' 1 1 3 .- - - -- 0 - , ' , nu nn ' :- , - - - - an .- , - N - , 0 - - - :- , s - - an .- - -u un U A an - .- 1 4 - -a .- an I - n , , , - - as In an an 1 nl - un n - - :- n nu :- .- - - - ru ,u Q - u - , -4 teams, and hope later, not to be the rooters, but the rooted Although as yet we are too young to have done anything worthy of note, either in the social or intel- lectual life of the school, yet we have the desire to make the class of 1926 stand for all time as one of the finest all-round classes that ever went through Cranston High School: loved for our sociability and fun, admired for our high ideal of scho- lastic attainment, respected for our fair play in games, and always and forever loyal to C.

BOLAN, 23 ' io o 4 9 X w 1 DOROTHUY fE'wm: Rhode Island Honor Society The Rhode Island Honor Society was formed last year among the high schools of the state to reward those students who have obtained a high grade of scholarship and who in addition unite a worthy character to a spirit of service and of helpful leadership. The school feels that the work of such students should be recognized and rewarded. Cranston High School this year found eleven students eligible for membership in the society. Those eleven have excelled in their work for three years without knowing that this honor was to be given them. The Seniors who failed to become mem- bers are given an extra opportunity to fulfill the necessary requirements. New students have the greatest ad- vantages, because they know what is required, and they have plenty of time to gain the honor. On the occasion of the awarding of the pins Mr. Fenner, in an inspir- ing talk, told us of the principles of the society and awarded the pins and certificates, the design of which is given at the top of this page. The following students were ad- mitted to membership: Edna Bur- dett, Frances Curley, M i l d r e d Fisher, Dorothy Hampson, Bertha Hinds, Hope Kane, Estella Martin, Edith Pine, Thomas Savella, Loretta Stevens, and Esther Thomas. TALK ' DON'T 1 it Jfxaeua American Speech Week Cranston Hiigh School held its fifth annual celebration of American Speech Week the week of Monday, November Gth. ln every room hung slogans printed by the members of the drawing classes, such as, Ring the-ing, Slovenliness of speech is a poor salesman, f'Slang is a tramp in a ball-room, Mumbled words- jumbled thoughts 3 together with typed lists of common errors in speech and their correct forms. During four morning assemblies, the entire school was entertained by programs by the students under the direction of the teachers of English. On Monday, Miss Fuller's Fresh- man class presented a pantomime with musical accompaniment, en- titled A Tournament at Cranston? This told the story of Sir Common Errors and Sir Good Speech, who fight for the hand of the beautiful Lady English. Sir Good Speech, with the aid of Sir Alfred Hitch- cock, overthrows the bad Sir Com- mon Errors and wins the love and trust of the Lady English. Those taking part Were: Herald ............ Ralph Crowninshield Lady English ...... . ...... Barbara Chase Mother Tongue ............ Helen Hogan Pages: Louder Please ......... Vera Hill Distinctly .....

On Wednesday, scenes from the Tale of Two Cities were acted very cleverly by members of the Thyrsus Club. On Thursday, four members of a Senior division in English discussed the question, 'WVhy Should VVe Have a Student Council in Cranston High School ? T'he question was so clearly and forcefully presented, that it was unanimously voted to support a stu- dent council when it should be es- tablished. Those taking part were Wfentworth Massie, Dorothy Hamp- son, James Benson, and Sara Mowry. On Friday, an informal talk, full of wit and good advice, was given by Mr. Henry Robinson Palmer, edi- tor and poet. on the subject, 4'Art in Speech. Mr. Palmer showed us the need of better and more benefi- cial subjects of conversation. The week closed with a choice en- tertainment on Friday evening by the Brown University Orchestra. A varied program of cartoon drawings, readings, and orchestra selections was given. Home-made candy was sold by members of the school, and the proceeds from the sale of tickets and candy amounted to about 3175, which was used to buy books for the school library. Thus Good English Week drew to a close, we believe with good results and pleasant anticipations for its ob- servance next year.

DIILDRFID LOUISE FISHER, ,QS Success Scene I. A high school corridor. Two boys are conversing. Although they are both seventeen years of age, one, John, appears to be the older. Possibly this incongruity is caused by a look of introspection that fre- quently veils from the beholder any intimation of the alert, logical mind that lies behind his grey eyes. He is well dressed, though not finical, and his hair is always disheveled, because of his habit of running his hand through it when he is puzzled. When he speaks, it is with a full, modulated voice. He is a forceful, though not a dogmatic speaker. Al Crandall, his companion, is quite different. He is somewhat 'tloudlyt' dressed, and his hair is Nslicked down until it no longer resembles hair. His attire reflects the latest change in the styles shown in '4Correct Clothing for Young Men . But his eyes, set far apart, and the contour of l1is head show that he is possessed of intelligence. He is more sophisticated than his companion. Al fcarelesslyj. No, John, I haven't decided on a career. VVhy should I? There will be plenty of time for that when I get out of col- lege. Then I can look around and see what I want to do. John fforcefullyj. That is where you are mistaken, Al. Now is the time. Don't you remember what the President of the university told us in his lecture? He said, Ulf you wish to get anywhere in this world, you must have an objective to strive for. That is what all successful men say. Surely, there must be some truth in it. Al flightlyj. Youtre right, thatls what they all say. VVhenever a man gets a firm grip on that elusive sprite known as f'Suecess , what does he do? Sit back and take it easy? Not much. He immediately gets an idea that it is his Hmissionv on this earth to lend a helping hand to those who have faltered on their way to suc- cess. But what form does this help- ing hand take? Money ? Friendship? Not on your life. It's advice. And, what is worse, itls always the same advice,-'4Take an interest in your task-work hard-save your money -have an objective. Itls all copy- book stuff. John. lJon't be so cynical, Al. You lose sight of the true value of things. Al fquicklyj. VVhy shouldn't I? The other day I heard a prominent war-time profiteer lecture on How to Succeed . He recited the usual formula. If he had been more specific and had given us the formula he used for attaining his success, he would have been locked up. John. But it is the exception that proves the rule, Al. Al. The only thing it proved to me was that his advice was worth- less. Have an objective. Huh! Don't worry, objective or no objec- tive, I'll get somewhere. John. Somewhere. That's just it. If you told a person that you were going somewhere'7, and asked him to come along, would he come? No. Somewhere is too indefinite. Al ftrying to be funnyj. But why choose a goal now? One would think that we were playing tag. John femphaticallyj. Al, a per- son without some goal in life is like a person lost in a forest. He walks on and on, and when he thinks that it is about time that he got some- where, he suddenly fi11ds himself where he started. But a goal is like a mountain top to a wanderer lost in the forest. It is by constantly keeping the mountain top in sight that he retains his se11se of orienta- tion and is finally enabled to gain his objective. Al Qsarcasticallyj. Well, now that you've Hnished your speech, sup- pose you tell me what your amount- ain-topi' is. John. Surely. It is to be a pro- fessor of chemistry in some large col- lege so that I can have a large labo- ratory and all kinds of apparatus to conduct research work with. Re- search work in chemistry and phys- ics is the most fascinating occupa- tion that is offered to-day. Hunting buried treasure is not to be compared with it for thrills. A1 Qdoubtfullyj. You'll have to show me. John. Why, if you had a map giv- ing the exact location of a hoard of buried treasure, all you'd have to do would be to go there and dig it up. Nothing to it-no brain work --no feeling as of a job well done when you do find it-nothing. But take a chemist, he never knows what he will stumble upon. Perhaps he doesn't know what he is searching for. But he has some dream- Al froughlyj. Most likely a day dream. Don't try to tell me that you can get anywhere by dreaming. John fseriouslyb. No, not by dreaming. But you can get some- where if you are awake and have a dream to inspire you. Al tsarcasticallyj. Oh, John, please tell me all about the chemist's dream. John Qargumentativelyj. It is not a laughing matter, Al. Do you realize that all great men are dream- ers, men of vision-Edison, Marconi, Napoleon-all of them? A chemist once wondered what would happen if an electric current were passed through a chemical solution. He tried it. He found out. All the great industries employing electrolytic processes' are the results of his dream. Al. That was no dream. That was a nightmare. John Qheatedlyj. You're impos- sible. Al fsoothinglyy.

His propensity to- wards 'fflashyv attire is evidenced by his clothes, which are of an ad- vanced style and cut too boldly for one of his age. He has a large dia- mond stick-pin in his tie, obviously a man of large means, and proud of the fact. But his fast pace up the ladder of success has had its effect upon him. His eyes are darkly out- lined and his jowls are flabby. He is pacing up and down the floor when the door opens and a man comes un- obstrusively into the room. The man is dressed soberly. He wears glasses with large tortoise- shell rims, and l1is head and shoul- ders are slightly bowed as if he were perpetually poring over a book. He would be judged to be a neutral sort of person if it were not for his sharp, penetrating eyes. As he enters and walks forward, Crandall looks in- quiringly at him. The stranger says: How do you do, Mr. Crandall ? Al fotfensivelyj. How did you get in? Stranger fcalmlyj. There was no one in the outer office, so I just walked in. I wished to see you. Al. VVell, now that you're here, what do you want to see me about? Stranger. I had just arrived in this city this morning from the West when I overheard two men talking about Al Crandall, the millionaire. Nothing would do but that I imme- diately look him up alld ascertain if he was the same Al Crandall that I went to school with twenty years ago. I recognized you as soon as I came into the room. Don,t you rec- ognize me? p Al fhesitantlyj. Why, ah--oh, yes, you are John! QThey shake hands.J John. Yes, I thought you'd re- member me. Al. Here, sit down, and let's have a good talk. tHe pulls out a chair, brings out a box of cigars, and olfers one to John.J Smoke? John. No, thank you, Mr. Cran- dall. Crandall flights his cigar and leans back comfortably in l1is chairl . Well, John, tell me all about yourself. How has the world been treating you? John. My career has not been so brilliant as your own. I guess my ship has not come in yet. Al trather patronizinglyj. What are you doing for a living? What business are you in? John. I am a professor at the Colorado School of Mines. I have charge of all the research work con- ducted there. Al. That's too bad. John. What? Al. I said that it's too bad. John fsurprisedj. Why? Al. Poor pay-hard work-long hours-nothing ahead of you--no money i11 that profession at all. Why couldn't you have turned your talents towards some better end? You were one of the best students in school. Why, you could have been something to-day if you had made the best of your opportunities. John. Just what do you mean by something ? Al. Why, ah-look at Jim Mason, for example. He cleaned up in the stock market. He's worth millions to-day. And look at Davis, and others, too. They're successes. That's something-to be a success. John. But arenlt there other standards of success than the size of one's money-bags? Al. How can there be? Success has but one interpretation, and that's money. John. But suppose that a man has worked long and steadily and has accomplished much so that he can feel that the world is a little bit better for his having been in it- suppose he has commanded the re- spect of his fellow-workmen-that he has been a source of inspiration to countless young men who are to be the future engineers, scientists, chemists, and all those upon whom the very stability of the future wel- fare of the human race rests--can he not be then called a success? Al funconvincedl. I suppose so, in a way. But, John, suppose you had done as I did. When I left col- lege, I decided to be a millionaire. For fifteen years I slaved and let nothing hinder me from reaching my goal. Now I am a millionaire. But if I hadn't set my eye upon this goal, Where would I be to-day? QJohn listens quietly.J John, it is no won- der that you have gone no farther than a professorship in a college. You had no objective, no purpose, in life. You were like a ship without a rudder, going round and round in a circle and getting nowhere. tBe1l rings. Al goes to the phone.l Al. Hullo! Oh, yes. In five min- utes. fJohn gets up.J John. Well, I can't be taking any more of your time, Al. I must be going. Al. I am sorry that I can't talk to you any longer, but I have an appointment with some lawyers. There is much at stake. If I swing this deal, it will mean millions to 1110. By the way. it's along your line, John. John. VVhat is? Al. Why, this deal. You see, a certain chemist named Pierce in- vented a process that will save me millions of dollars if I can buy the right to use it. I shall have to pay this man Pierce almost a million dollars in royalties. It's too bad, John, that you c'ould11't have done something along that line. You'd be a success to-day. fJohn is standing at the door, ready to go out.j Al. By the way, John, itis very peculiar, but I can't remember your last name. What is it? John.

The Student Council Tl1e following is a sunnnary of the discussion of the question, t'lVhy have a Student Council ? which was given in Assembly 011 November S, 1922, by lVentworth Massie, James Benson, Dorothy Hampson, and Sara Mowry. ttlluring the past year, the idea of a student council has grown so nn1cl1 that it is deemed Wise to pre- se11t some facts about the plan. A council means co-operation of teach- ers a11d pupils 011 certain school affairs. It does not mean self- g0V8l'llIll8IlI. A council could find as many chances to do good here as elsewhere. Certain evils of long standing exist in our school which councils in other schools have remedied, for example, a lack of complete confidence be- tween teachers and student organiza- tions, bad manners in passing through corridors and in class rooms, a gross ignorance on the part of entering Freshmen of the various phases of High School life, and, worst of all, dishonesty in student elections and in class work. These are some of the most evi- dent evils. A council could elimi- nate conflicting rules, could settle misunderstandings, could improve manners, and could diminish the de- sire to cheat. A Teacher-Student Council can succeed in Cranston High School because it has succeeded in High Schools where conditions existed similar to those in Cranston High School to-day. In Brookline High School of Mas- sachusetts, it regulated the lunch- rooin and corridors with great suc- cess, and has the unreserved and enthusiastic support of the whole student body. A council in the Plainfield High School of New Jer- sey has been beneficial and has earned a glowing endorsement from the principal of the school. In the Citrus Union High School of Cali- fornia it has raised the standard of scholarship, brought about a great increase in the size of the school, and eliminated some very objectionable customs with which the authorities were unable to cope. It has im- proved the general morale of the stu- dent body to a remarkable degree. Student councils are succeeding in the New Trier Township High School of Illinois, VVashington Irving High School of New York, VValla Walla High School of California, Newton High School of Massachusetts, and many other schools of the finest type. lt is a notable fact that every section of the country in its most progressive high schools is repre- sented by a student council. My conclusion is that with the support of the students, a student council can be made to succeed in Cranston High School. Teachers and students alike would derive especial benefits from some form of student council. First, a closer union between teachers and pupils would be brought about by a mutual communication of desires, and by the establishment of a uni- for111 set of rules, which in turn would bring more respect for the a,,,,,,,,,,,,,, , .a swan.. , . Wi ,, . M-f f 'dA -4 H I 4 A4 .Q 3 as Q f ' -QN1 X .,b -,li jail' f X H teachers. A seco11d advantage would be a higher standard of work, for there would be more promptness, less waste of time, and a business- like attitude to work. A student council could place emphasis on high scholarship as well as athletics, and reward it. Also, more natural re- lationships between classes and be- tween teachers and students would result. Perhaps the most important re- sult would be better citizens. Pupils could learn to vote not according to party or nationality, but according to the worth of the nolninee. Leaders would rise and the natural ability of students be brought to light, thus causing a development of initiative and a sense of responsibility. More encouragement would be given to clean sports, and to honesty in every form. We believe that conditions are such in this school that the success of a student council would be as- sured, for we have the hearty ap- proval and willingness of the entire Faculty to give this council a trial. They have sufiicient faith in our ability as a student-body to try this experiment. The students have always accepted any suggestions and have worked hard for any principle which would better themselves or their school. By establishing this council another op portunity would be given to retain the enviable reputation made by former classes. By establishing this council, wc shall have an ideal organization of fering a chance for a more complete larger division of responsibilities, g 65 .. ,ug I h -3- t?Q'f5fwf. 'X-Wm, M tags . K, which will bring out the powers of leadership which some students have, but which 11ow lie dormant, an -organization which will foster a feeling of mutual understanding and effort for a common aim between teachers and students. Perfection cannot be attained at first, but if we face this fact and the realization that only through the combined efforts of teachers and students can such a plan be success- ful, we feel confident that the results will far exceed our expectations even though the student-council idea is new to the high schools of Rhode Island? After numerous delays and draw- backs, the first active step infthet formation of a student council was taken. A committee consisting of rep- resentatives from the senior classes was chosen to meet with Mr. Bos- worth and decide how many mem- bers the council should comprise. This committee decided on fifteen members-tcn fiom the student body, and five from the Faculty. The ten students should consist of four Seniors, three Juniors, two Sopho- mores, and one Freshman The four class presidents weie to be in eluded among the Tumors and Semors, and the remaining six chosen from the classes at large Soon after, a gcneral election was held, in which the classes clected their representatives The election yy as arranged so that the1e should be an equal number of boys and girls on the council The studlnt council it present consists of the following Semois, Estella Martin Thomas Savella, 1 J j R .

These students with iive Faculty members: Mr. Bosworth, Miss Kane, Miss Carpenf ter, Miss Towne, and Miss Fuller, constitute the iirst student council. Although as yet the council has held but one meeting, it hopes to an- nounce definite accomplishments and plans before the year closes. EsTELLA M. MARTIN, ,24 My Dream ofthe Happy Isles Far away from this rushing world Are the Happy Isles of the Blestg 'Tis there my dreams sail swiftly off And softly sink to rest. My dreams sail off in a cloud-boat white All through the dusky sky. And follow after the silver moon And the golden stars o11 high. The cloud-boat sinks to the singing waves Beside the happy shore. It anchors there without a noise ,Till my dreams come back once more. And in my drealns I swiftly glide Far o'er the golden sands, I stoop and gather the rosy shells And with them fill my hands. I run into the soft green wood And hear the birds' sweet song. I see the sights no man could paint Tried he ever so long. I see red wings igainst dark green leaves 3 IVhite swans on a sapphire lake, A golden bird near a purple flower, And I laugh for beautyls sake. I wander o'er the soft green grass, I pick the flowers tall, I drink the Water, crystal-clear, From the spring by a moss-grown wall. The soft winds whisper i11 my ears And I sing their happy tune While my cloud-boat rocks and wails for me On the silent, blue lagoon. I eat the fruit from the Tree of Song And I know what the wee birds say. I stop and listen to their songs, Then wander on n1y way. The friendly path winds in and out Between the kindly trees That whisper a11d bend down to me, Stirred by the fragrant breeze. I stoop and pick a scarlet flower From its place by a dim gray tree. Its fragrance, faint, yet clear and sweet, Brings memories to me. I turn around with lagging feet: I near the singing seag I see 1ny cloud-boat, soft and white, Is waiting there for me. And in my dreams I swiftly sail Back oler the waves of the sky. I strain my ears for the happy sounds As they fade, and fade, and die. Then I come again to the rushing World, And dream again my quest In the happy fields, my Paradise, Dear Islands of the Blest.

II llllllllll in Q an un Q Q -4 sa E Playing the Glad Game at Lunch A bell rings, and almost imme- diately groups of hungry girls troop down the stairs in pleasant anticipa- tion of the most popular period in the day, the lunch period. If you bring your lunch from home you are indeed fortunate, for you avoid the terrible crowd at the counter. If your accustomed place on one of the benches is not already occupied, you are even more fortu' nate, even though you do like to show how clever you are at juggling your lunch in one hand and your books in the other. Provided you find a seat, and are of a kind disposition, you offer to hold some one's books,- and that some one invariably accepts your oifer. However, when your lunch is placed on top of this pile of books, it is conveniently near your mouth, and thus you save consider- able time and trouble. If you do not sit in the row nearest the lunch counter, you miss the thrill of dodg- ing escaped clams, gravy-coated forks, runaway dogs, and bricks of ice cream, as, in the crowd, they are knocked from the grasp of their owner. If you buy your lunch, you have W-fuk plenty of funwatching the joy that spreads over the face of each girl as she is at length waited upon, while you stand there, as it seems, on the very verge of starvation. If you are a timid Freshman and afraid to speak for your rights, you wait and wait until about ten minutes within the end of the period. Then you stuff your food down at break-neck speed in order to finish before the bell rings. Although you know that swallowing your food in such haste is doing you more harm than good, the little saying sings in your brain, Better late than never. Like Pollyana, we play the glad game, and like Pollyana, we have a dream. Ours is a rosy dream of a large, attractive lunch room, where crowded conditions are unheard of. If only the plan for an addition, suggested in last year's Cranstonian, should be adopted, our three greatest needs would be realized,-an audi- torium, gymnasium, and lunchwroom, all of which would promote the health and general welfare of the students of C.

In case you have forgotten, I mention them to you. In the first place, you must realize That one's impression must Be formed by the opinion tl1at One gets by seeing us. And if our conduct on the cars Is a shame and a disgrace, They sure will think that Cranston High Is just one dreadful place. The cars do not belong to us, But to the U. E. R. We must not break the windows, Or force the doors ajar, 1 Or leave without iirst paying for Our very pleasant ride, For if we do these things, then we Had better stay outside. A gentleman is gentle, Miss Holt so often tells, But we are not thus gentle If we always ring the bells. Of course, I realize I am No one to give advice, Because I sometimes do myself Some things which are not nice. Spring has returned, again the ground Is soft once more, at last. We must not injure it or leave Our footprints in the grass, Or walk between the hedges, Or damage any way The beauty of our grounds, as we've Heard Mr. Bosworth say. We must not drive our cars across The field, because we might Leave tracks behind, and then the place Would surely look a sight. At lunch, we must remember that While half the school is out, The other half is still inside, And therefore must not shout. We either must remain inside, Or else must go away, So that those inside the building won't Hear everything we say. The dishes are not ours, and if They're left upon the lawn, Then Mrs. Card will have to pay For them when they are gone. Of course we never do these things, Or think of them, but, still, I just remind you what they are So that you never will. Roaimr P.

Rubbing my eyes, I sat up, grasped the sides of the hammock to keep my balance, and beheld an early June morning long before dawn. I looked about me. The evening star, very bright, and the moon, pale silver, were slowly setting in the west. A cock stood on a fence post preparing to crow. He stretched, flapped his wings, stretched again, then rent the air with his cock-a-doodle-doo. I an- swered his call. He looked about the barn yard, but seeing no one, let forth another clarion, challenging the whole of cockdom to come forth and compete with him. The fog now 1l'lOV6d on. In the east the sun not yet risen, reflected upon the fieecy rose-pink clouds half way up the sky. Hence loathed melancholvlv I called aloud, as l sprang from the liammock, desiring to watch the com- ing of the dawn f1'0lll the hill top. Vaulting the barn yard gate and scattering the hens, I sped down the lane, bordered with overhanging white birches. Forgetful of the showers of dew, I swung each of these in its turn until at length at the pasture bars I stood shivering. Now a scarlet blaze stretched across all the eastern horizon and circled around to the south. Looking north- ward, I saw Farmer Thompson sow- ing oats. I leaned over his fence and called, Top 0' the Morning, Mr. Thompson. Same to you, lassj' he replied, . - if Ihgaqehu 'K 1 Hbut it's kind o' early for you folks to be up, ain't it? Oh, we folks are all in bed 'cept me, I answered, as I filled both my hands with oats and flung them broadcast to the morning breeze. All at once the sun burst forth above the horizon. As though an- swering its summons, the strawber- ries in the neighboring patch lifted their red faces from among the green leaves where they had lain unno- ticed. I picked a few and then went down to the milk shed with Mr. Thompson. When I had eaten my breakfast of strawberries, I started off again through the fields, thick with daisies. As I walked slowly among these flow- ers, I snipped the heads and counted the petals to the old rythm He loves me, he loves me not. Not that there was anyone whose love I sought, but merely that that is what people al- ways do with daisies. Presently I came upon a herd of cows resting under a lofty elm. It seemed to me they rose at my approach like knights in the courts of old at the approach of a lady. Soon I passed into the deep-shaded woods, now alive with the waking songs of bird- land, and suddenly turned off the path, cutting into the still denser woodland. The farther in I went, the larger grew the trees. For some distance the underbrush seemed im- passable, but in these places I had cut passages, so that untwining a few vines I could pass through. Thus it was I came through the deep woods to the top of a steep ridge looking down to the silent - A '-1'?.7,:HIlR.?S-50312 'Y ii in waters of a deep running brook, where grew lofty trees with deep and wide spreading roots. Near the brook one tree seemed to rule over them all. Its rough, rugged butt measured more than four feet in diameter and its lowertlimbs were larger than the trunks of many of its neighbors. This tree was not as tall as certain others, but its breadth and expressive strength pronounced it easily lord of them all. I mur- mured, And when the sun begins to fling His flowing beams, me, Goddess, bring To arched walks of twilight groves, And shadows brown that Sylvan loves, Of pine, or monumental oak, Where the rude axe with heaved stroke Was never heard the nymphs to daunt, Or fright them from their hallowed haunt. For it seemed in such a place there must live Dryads and Nymphs. Slowly I wound my way down the slope, conscious all the while of a most fragrant odor. I brushed aside the fallen oak leaves and gathered handfuls of arbutus. At the foot of the great oak I stood for several moments, feeling very insignificant, with a queer sort of loneliness that only such a place can create. Those immense oaks with Lincoln green leaves and notty, twisted arms, the carpet of moss, and the freshness of it,--tl1e great- ness, the silence suddenly became to me Nottingham forest---and I was Robin Hood. Presently my band of outlaws would join me in my Merrie Greenwood: VVill Scarlet, Friar Tuck, and Little John. Over behind those trees we would watch the Sheriff come in search of me and hear him threaten to put the shackles on me-Robin Hood, the outlaw. How I scoifed at the very thought of it! But now for an out1aw's dinner. I looked up at the apparently inac- cessible branches, strode out to the farthest end of one, leaped, clasped my hands about the narrow part, swung slowly back and forth a few times, and finally upward, gaining a grip with my crossed ankles. Then with my whole strength I bore the limb down to the ground, straddled it, and then let it snap upward into place. Creeping in toward the center until the limb was firm enough to hold my weight, I then stood up and walked to tl1e trunk, whence I easily gained the top. Here the tree sepa- rated into four branches. For three feet or so decay had hollowed out the center, leaving solid walls. This was my house in the tree tops where were stored all my treasures. I had placed a barrel bottom down in the tree and lined the hollow with barrel staves, topping them with another barrel end to keep out the rain. In this hollow I kept a few cooking utensils, some odd dishes, fish hooks, a harmonica, a willow whistle, matches, and a locked tin box. Just as I was about to descend, my fry- pan in hand, I heard some one sing- ing far up the brook. Often I had imagined meeting some one here, but now that I was no longer in the glen, I was frightened. I crouched close to the great branches, their foliage affording a thick screen. Soon the singer appeared, carrying a long pack on his back and saunter- . . ci ' . ,iff it tvs. 1 .,., ,,, .H , c , ,w ,V ' illelcrglgxikcjlvyglzr llrxl igagsageligaggggaisa .4525 ' l l p Real?

When he came to the edge of the clearing, he looked up, halted, stopped singing, and gazed as if in wonder at the beauty of the place. Still gazing about him, he came in- stinctively to the largest tree and swung a pack of very dilapidated umbrellas to the ground. The man himself, now that he was near, was quite a young chap. He looked about him again with a puzzled stare and walked back to the brook. I won- der if there are any fish in this brook? I'm hungry, he said aloud. I looked at the spider in my hands. He thrust his hands into his pockets and with a determined air strode about all four sides of the glen, peering into the dense thicket, and looking up at t11e tree tops. Finally he came back to the foot of my tree, looked over his shoulder, shook his head, and gave a surrendering sigh. 'iThis place is awfully uncanny. Makes a fellow feel queer. Looks like an old mediaeval English for- est. He laughed. I feel just like old Alan-a-Dale? Quietly I dropped from the tree beside him. 'tHe-there, Alan-a-Dale I I greeted him. He spun about, saw me, pressed one hand to his forehead, and gasped, lVho are you ? 'tRobin-o' th' Hood. I tossed back my head and flung my arms about, to appear all the more like an out- law. Did you come out of that tree ?i' Yes!' 'fShake hands, he commanded and gripped my hand so fiercely that I winced with pain 'fThank Heavens youire real, he S1 l1ed in relief did you think I was ? 5 f4Well, you said you came out of that tree, didn't you? Real people don't live in trees, and I sure never expected to meet anyone like you in a Sherwood Forest like this, he explained, quite excited. Who else would you expect to meet except Robin Hood, Alan-a- Dale?f' Robin-o' th' Hood,'i he laughed, looking at my spider, seeing thou art about to produce a feast in this Merrie Greenwood, I prithee let me quaff with thee. So it was I gave Alan a fish line and set him to catching trout, of which we made a merry feast. The umbrella mender proved to be a student of psychology, who, during one of his college vacations, had be- come friends with an old peddler and had learned his trade. He made use of this knowledge during his sum- mer vacation as a means of earning a little money to help pay for his college education. This particular day he had felt weary, and knowing that this brook flowed from one town to the next, he had followed it in- stead of the hot highway. After dinner we talked a while about Robin Hood and other stories cen- tering about just such a setting as the glen. Then Alan gathered up his bundle of umbrellas, now trans- formed into a quiver of arrows, threw it over his shoulders, and went his way. I felt very lonely when he had gone.

They were copies of the stories I liked best. At home I had most of them in beauti- fully bound and illustrated editions, which had to be placed on the table when read for fear the bindings would break. But these books, bought especially for this purpose in a second-hand book shop, were much more familiar to me. They contained no illustrations, for whenever I wanted a picture I just looked down on tl1e green Iioor of the glen and imagined myself to be Sir Lancelot, Rosalind, Dick Shelby, King Arthur, Robin Hood, or whoever I wished. I could sit on the limb of the oak, leaning back against the trunk, the book on my knees even with my eyes, and just read and dream. I never grew tired of these books, no matter how many times I had read them, for their characters had become my intimate friends. I sat reading until it grew dusky i11 tl1e glen. Realizing it must be late, I quickly put away my books, swung down from the tree, ran up the hill, and hurried out of the wood- land on to the highway. Outside the glen the world seemed on fire. The sun was setting. The western horizon was a series of brilliant hues shading from golden pink to a deep cerise. The sun was retieeted on the western windows of the cottages, turning the panes into sparkling gold. Soon it sank and the pale stars came out one by one. I hasta ened through the same fields through which I had come that morning. Mr. Thompson was just turning his cows back into tl1e pasture for the eve- ning. I hailed him to wait for me. Hi there, you Vagabond! he called. I was just thinking it was time you came home. Hungry, ain't you ? ttYes, I said, and went back to the farm house where I shared with him his supper of cookies and milk. Looking over the valley, we saw the chain of lighted windows of the night train gliding swiftly through tl1e cut of the distant hillside. As we watched it, I felt how relatively small our own separate work-a-day worlds were, and that for the most of us they grew only as large we cared to imagine them. The lights of the hillside village above the train cut flickered like a thousand candles on some mighty altar. Slowly I walked down the lane. The flittering fireflies darted here and there, and glowworms bordered the pathway. The crescent moon hung poised behind the branches of the lofty ellns swaying in the gentle breeze. As I neared the house, I saw it was lighted as for company. I lingered, undecided whether to go in or not. t'Hence vain deluding joys, I at last chuckled, and stole through the back yard toward my hammock, where I lay swinging, peacefully tired after a pleasant day. I hunted for the few constellations and stars that I knew, the Big Dipper, Little Dipper, and Orionls sword, until I finally fell asleep. VVhen I awoke, the party was at its height. I listened to the music that was playing Sport that wrinkled care derides And Laughter holding both his sides. Ah, that was it! L'Allegro!

The boys have a football team, hockey team, a track team, and a baseball team. They have also a large held to use for these purposes. in addi- tion they have coaches and an in- structor. The girls have only a bas- ketball team and a small basketball court. lYe ought to stand far above girls of the city schools situated in the busy and populated districts. But we have not emphasized the need of athletics in our school and therefore we have seanty accommodations for that purpose. lf we stop to consider the bene- fits derived from athletics. we are readily convinced of our need. ln the tirst place, we should have healthier girls and more of them should become interested. They would be more sociable and in that way get acquainted with the girls who are not in their classes. The Freshman girls would be less timid. Lastly, the school would gain honors and greater prominence. But present conditions must be greatly improved. Shower baths are absolutely necessary. So are better grounds and a bigger basketball court. Thus far, very few belong to the basketball team. There should be more games of various kinds to interest those who do not like bas- ketball. Another necessity is a gym- nasium with an instructor. lflquipped thus, not only the girls, but also the boys would be able to take more ex- ercise in the proper way. To show that we are in earliest we should all belong to the Girls' Athletic Associa- tion. JICNNIE Mrznosii, ,223 HELEN DROITCOUR ARLINE DYER MILDRED FEARNEY MISS PERRY Girls' Athletic Association For the iirst tin1e, the Girls' Athletic Association began the year in the right way, by giving the t'Freshies a hearty welcome. This was done in the form of an indoor track 111eet, which was called a HFreshmen Mixerf' lts purpose was to make the Freshmen feel at ease with the upper classmen and to have them see what benefits are derived from joining such a thriving organi- zation. After several speeches, stunts, and games, dancing was be- gun and refreshments served. Al- most every one went home, determin- ing to join the Association the next day. Shortly after this social, Miss Milliken, our treasurer and Faculty adviser, deserted us for the Thyrsus Club, and Miss Perry, our Physical Director, took her place. lVith her coming, our hiking began. We walked to Skeleton Valley, where we built a tire, roasted our dogs,l, and toasted our marshmallows. At dusk we started for home and reached there with hoarse voices from sing- ing every song we knew. As soon as the weather permits us, we are going to have more of these hikes. On February lil, We held an afternoon Valentineis dance in the hall. Strange as it may seem, almost every o11e t11ere had two 11e:11-tsl Punch was served and candy sold. In o11e of the dances, liearts were Illklfiiillxtl-211111 what a COlll1ll0tl01li lVe VV0ll1i61' w11o had Mr. lJavis's heart! Tl1ere was also an eli111i11ae tion dance, i11 which tilll last two couples left 011 the floor received prizes. lVe owe hearty thanks to Dot Knott and her C01Illlllffl?0, w11o 11ad charge of tl1e dance, for llliliilllg it such a success. But socials and hikes are not tl1e only things the associatioii olfers us. lVe have basketball and tennis, and track events at Rocky Point. Last year our girls won t11e baseball game and tl1e tug-of-war. Charlotte Hal- loran came in second in the girls, race. Tl1e points gained by these victories made Cranston win the day over East Providence. We are hoping to have showers for the girls in tl1e near futureg for we feel the need of thein very lIl1lCl1. T11e Association can do and is doing 11111113' thingsg and it is tl1e duty of every girl i11 the SC1l00l to 'tpitch in and make these things success- ful. ICATIIRYN Knnru, 124 . 5-5 MW 111- lxfsw I .

From the large number of candidates which turned out it was evident that we should not lack in nuinbers or in good raw material. The services of Miss Perry, instructor of Physical Training in our school, were secured and practice began in earnest. The usual course of practice was in- dulged in, the teain chosen, and then the girls were served the real article by Coach Perry. The first of February, in high spirits, the teani met the Y. VV. Girl Reserves, for the first game of the year. The team played well, but was outclassed. The next game was with the T. M. T.

The officers for the year were elected as follows: Wil- liam Spencer, President, Alfred Swanson, Vice-President, Thomas Bride, Secretary, Mr. Burt, Treas- urer, and Reginald Hayward, Dele- gate to the League. Last year and for two years preceding there has been consider- able rivalry between the boys and girls in the collection of dues. Al- though this year the competition has not been as spirited, the dues have bee11 forthcoming almost for the ask- ing. The associa.tion's financial standing this year has never been in danger of collapse, and with the re- turns froin the Minstrel Show to be held in the near future, the outlook for the remainder of the school year is exceedingly encouraging, and shows good management on the part of the olticers and the director. President William Spencer left this school in February, and since then Alfred Swanson, the Vice- President, has been the acting Presi- dent. The outcome of the athletic events thus far this season has been, we hope, gmtifyillg to the l1101lll1Ql'S of the Faelllty, and of the school, and to those of the public who have taken :111 interest in us.

The opening of the season brought together two of the oldest rivals, Cranston and East Providence. After two periods of fast play, the Cranston players emerged from the game with a l-0 victory. After a week's rest, because of the poor con- dition of the ice, Cranston defeated Pawtucket, 2-0, in a very exciting game. The following day, Hope was downed by a 2-0 score in an exceed- ingly rough game at Blackstone Pond. The final game of the first round ended in a 3-1 victory over Classical. lVith four victories and no defeats to her credit, Cranston opened the second half with another victory over East Providence. This time the score was 3-0, which showed that we were improving. The following game was an important once, since a victory for Cranston meant the championship, while a defeat for us would tie Hope and Cranston for first honors. Cranston, however, through some brilliant playing, final- ly succeeded in winning a 2-0 score. This put Hope out of the race. However, because of the poor con- dition of the ice, only one more game scheduled could be played. The fol- lowing day Cranston journeyed to Slater Park and whitewashed Paw- tucket, 7-0. 'Practically every man on the Cranston team registered at least one goal. This game wound up another victorious season. A great deal of credit is due to Captain Swanson, who is considered one of the best forwards in the In- terscholastic League. lt was be- cause of his ability to keep every man on the job that we were able to pile up twenty goals to our op- ponents' one. To next year's team, which will contain but four veterans, we pass on the reputation of Cranston's suc- cess. May it be upheld with as much tenacity as it has been by this yearis team!

The team was not only one of the best that has ever represented the school, but was considered one of the best in the league. At the beginning of the season Captain Andrew was very fortunate in obtaining as coach Mr. Davis, who had coached the team of the preceding year. Mr. Davis had nine ttletter men around whom to build a team: Captain Andrew, Bride, Swanson, Vallone, Rennis, Hutchins, Hayward, Graves and Hennessey. Cranston started the season well by trouncing Classical at VVeston Field to the tune of 13-6. Although the score was not large, Cranston showed herself superior to her op- ponents in every phase of the game. The next game was played with Z,-7 - East Providence at Grosvenor Field. It was the most bitterly fought con- test of the year. The teams were evenly matched and the play was eX- citing throughout. Cranston finally emerged victor. The score was 2-0. The following week Woonsocket journeyed to Cranston and handed the home team the first defeat of the season. The score was 6-0. The Cranston team fought a hard and clean battle, but were completely baffled by the powerful aerial attack which the Woonsoclcet eleven ex- hibited. After the first period, in which lVoonso-cket scored its lone tally, the game was evenly and fierce- ly fought, neither team being able to obtain the advantage. Cranston then invaded lVc-st VVar- wick and defeated her, the score being I2-6. Play was fast and excit- ing, but the formidable lines of the Cranston eleven could not be pene- trated to any great extent. Both of U1'2111St0I1,S touchdowns were the fruits of tl1e fine line bucking and end running of the back field men. A trick play gave VVest Warwick a lone touchdown. The next eleven to oppose Crans- ton was Hope. A victory over Hope, which was rated as the best team in the league, would put Cranston in line for the championship. This was kept in mind by our boys, and they entered the fray with the grim determination to emerge with vic- tory. VVhen tl1e final whistle blew, the score read 19-6 in favor of Hope. What was the reason for this? It may be told in very few words. The Cranston boys fought loyally and bravely, but were conquered by a more powerful opponent. Although Cranston did not win the game, they were the only team in the league to score on Hope, which afterwards won the championship. In the final game of the season Cranston was decisively trimmed by Pawtucket. The game was clean and interesting, and was played before a very large crowd. The score was 12-0. The entire squad wish to extend its heartfelt thanks to Mrs. James Hen- nessey, mother of Jack Hennessey, left halfback on the eleven, for the banquet which she held in their honor at her residence. It might also be mentioned that three men from the 1922 eleven were placed on the first All-Star team: Bride, quarterback 5 Vallone, right tackle, Swanson, right end. Hen- nessey was picked as left halfback on the second team. THOMAS BRIDE, '23 Track 1 FITTS MCNAMARA HAYWA RD BENSON UDEILL J. DROITCOUR EASTERBROOKS Captain H.

We won fourth plaee. Udell eanne in fourth in the half-mile and seeond in the mile rung Neal, third in the mile rung Baker, fourth in the high juinpg and H. Droiteour, third in the pole-vault. In the annual Arbor Day meet with East Providence at Rocky Point, Cranston won tirst place in the track events through the aid of Gammon, Spencer, flllIllll1lllQS. Ra- ker, Donahue, Hayward, Rennie, and the relay team. Last year we had an exceptional relay team, made up of four iine 1110112 Spencer. Easter- brooks, Benson, and Rennie. This team won a place in every meet in Which it took part. At the Kingston meet on the day after Arbor Day, J. Droiteonr, who won second place in the pole vault, and the relay teanl, which won third place i11 the mile relay, were the only ones to take places. lt was difficult to gain points in this meet because any schools, whether in the league or 11ot, could take part. Next, a meet at Roger XVilliains Park was held, in which Cranston, LaSalle, and Tech took part. Al- though Cranston made a good show! ing, the other schools proved sue perior because of their size. The last and inost important meet before the vacation was at Andrews Field. In this Cranston took fourth place. Here again the relay showed its ability by winning second place. The other lnen who helped gain for Uranston fourth place were Rennie, second in the J.-L0-yard sprintg Spencer, second in the 220-yard dash, J. Droiteour, second in the pole-vault, Donahue, third in the mile run 5 Hayward, fourth in the mile rung and Sundquist, third in the hammer throw. The last event of the season was the cross-country run, which took place in the Park. In this meet Neal came in second and Udell sixth. These were honorable places, when one considers that about fifty boys took part. The spirit shown by the fellows in joining the team makes prospects hopeful for the coming year. The material is goodg and if a coach can be obtained, this material will be made into a Winning team. H. DROITCOUR, '26 Wearers of the V Y Qxsv- -fag w gm Q Q 39 H f N V12 ww .gat dam Hockey, 1923 A.

In the iirst place, the English department, i11 View of the extraor- dinary talent of the club, asked the members to present a play during Good English Wfeekeyou see, even the English department respects the club and its talent. The invitation was accepted, and three scenes from HA Tale of Two Cities, by Dickens, were acted. The cast was as fol- lows: Monsieur Defarge .... . . .John Droitcour Madame Defarge ......... Gertrude Potter John Barsad ....... .... C lifton Bagley Jacques ...... .... I Richard Conklin Jacques ..... ..... 1 iobert Marshal Jacques . . . .... .John Walker Mender of Roads .......... Frank Wildes Jerry Cruncher ....... ..Suran Messerlian Mrs. Jerry Crunvher .... Doris Davenport Young Jerry ...... . . . .Howard Droitcour The play was artistically pre- sented, and, as most of the students had already read in class the entire story, it was easily understood and enjoyed. The next occasion worth recalling was an afternoon dance, at which the club furnished good music, free admission to the members of the club, and delicious punch, for the paltry sum of a nickel per glass. Although the Thyrsus Club did not make a fortune from the dance, it furnished amusement for the study- worn U1 students, and we enjoyed it so much that we are hoping more than ever that next year our dream of an evening dance to bring to- gether the members of the school in the early part of the school year will be a reality. In contributing to the Near East Relief and the Red Cross, and in remembering our own school library, the club has merely been expressing in tangible form its foremost pur- pose, to be of service. The next big event in the annals of the club was the Christmas play and party. Again one of Dickens' works was chosen, this time his ttChristmas Carol. It was very well acted by the following cast: Scrooge .................. Clifton Bagley Bob 'Cratchit ..............

The club's next accomplishment was i11 the form of an April Fool's dance. Those who attended were presented with April Foolish favors, punch was servedg and, if we may judge by the gaiety of the party, the allotted two hours passed only too swiftly. Now preparations are being made for the annual play, and May 4th, it is expected, will be a red-letter day for the school. The play, 'fGreen Stockingsf, is to be presented under the direction of Professor Adelaide Patterson. The cast is to be as fol- lows: William Faraday .........

Kenneth Keach Although this year was begun under a grave handicap because of the resignation of Miss Holt, who for several years had been the much esteemed Faculty adviser, neverthe- less, under the efficient guidance of Miss Milliken, our new Faculty ad- viser, the club has taken success out of threatened disaster, and this year bids fair to set a higher standard than ever for the club. GERTRUDE POTTER, '24 Minstrel Show On March 23 and 24 a minstrel show was held which excelled all minstrels ever given by the Boys, Athletic Association. Posters an- nouncing the show had been drawn by the school artists and placed in all parts of Cranston long before the event. The result was that the tickets sold rapidly and an immense crowd appeared at each perform- ance. The curtain went up at quarter past eight, showing tl1e members of the minstrel against a Palm Reach setting. After the first song, ttSpence and Sam gave quite an original definition of the word miracle. Then tt-Take surprised the audience bv discovering that there was only one hair on Popts head. Jokes were made on many of the other teachers. The interloeutor seemed to be ridiculed more than usual this year. Bill and he had a long disputed argument over two handkerchiefs, after which Bill won and made Mr. Davis pick up both handkerchiefs. Then Bill shamed him into singing a song, which was a sur- prise to Mr. Belsey and also to the members of the minstrel. XVhen Miss Van Kirk had danced, Bill, dressed i11 a dancing costume with a blue bow larger than himself and Waving a red handkerchief, sent the audience into gales of laughter by an imitation. Sam also created a sensation by quoting the parts of the Bible in which baseball is men' tioned. The music of the perform- ance was a great success. Andrew McNamara stuttered into four en- cores of a song, and lrene Harris showed real vocal talent i11 her songs. The curtain went dONV1l to the strains of the Star Spangled Banner, after which every one pro- nounced the show a huge success. Victor or Vanquished? NMa, I'd like to know why Jim can't wear one of his own ties for OIICQ. He makes me sore wanting to wear my ties all the time. This outburst came from George, younger brother to Jim. Jim defended him- self. 'fNow listen, Ma. You know very well I aint got any good ties, that to- night is the night of the Senior dance, that Pm taking Marjorie, and that if George can't lend me that tie I gave him for Christmas, then he aint much of a brother. UAW-your old Senior parties make me sick a11d your Marjorie-H But George was cut off in his come- back by his mother's calm voice. 4tNow, George, be a good boy and lend Jim that tie. You know that he lends you a good many things. You can do as much as lend him your tie. Then turning to J im- Now, Jim, George will let you use the tie, but do not forget to put it back again. Now go get ready, and, by the Way, Ji111, remember eleven-thirty is ab- solutely the latest hour. George was obliged to give in to combined forces, but he was by no means subdued 5 and so while Jim danced, George planned sweet ven- geance. Bounding upstairs, Jim got the tie from his brother's room. Oh that room! It was a tangle of wires, po- lice alarms, burglar traps, and wire- less apparatus. Passing on to his own room, Jim finished his toilet for the evening. Coming back he passed l1is brother, who wasnow in bed, and heard threats of vengeance. Gee, just wait till you get home to-night. No o11e gets away as easy as that with my tiesf' At the time Jim passed the threats over as mere sputtering. His thoughts concerned the evening and its pleasures. After calling for Mar- jorie, he went to the High School with her. lt always seemed nice to Jim to be able to go to the High School without that sinking feeling that lessons had not been prepared. The party was a great success and Jim fully enjoyed the evening. He was totally occupied all the time, and as Good Night, Ladies floated over the hall, he felt immensely pleased with the event. Looking at his watch he was fully satisfied that he l1ad plenty of time in which to get home. It was only eleven o'clock. But Jim had not counted on the in- fluence of a beautiful evening and a pretty girl. Slow walking was very pleasant after the dance. He was so absorbed in the smooth conversa- tion that he was carrying on with Marjorie, that he forgot to consult his watch. Then it took him about fifteen minutes to maneuver the con- versation into the parting direction, so that, by the time he had said good- night, it was twelve oiclock. He looked at l1is watch, saw the time, and ran for home as if the saving of a few minutes would bring redemption. He stopped suddenly when he arrived at the door. It was necessary to get into the house with- out disturbing the light slumbers of his loving parents, who were so con- cerned about his Welfare that they rebelled at the thought of his losing an extra fifteen minutes of sleep. He had heard much about the benefit. of removing onets shoes so as to make no noise in entering a house. Ac- cordingly he took off his shoes, quiet- ly unlocked the door, and entered the house. Feeling his way stealthily along, he mounted the stairs and stopped in front of his brother's door through which he must pass to get to his own room. Then a sudden fear gripped him. Immediately the thoughts which he had so calmly ig- nored during the evening came flood- ing upon him. He was foiled. His brother had carried out his mumbled threats. An instinctive sense warned him that his brother had used his infernal genius to trap him by use of all the burglar alarms. Jim tried to recall various methods of cluding burglar alarms, but to no avail, for he knew that George had bells, alarms, traps, and perhaps even a shocking machine connected to the door knob. At that moment, as he explained later to Marjorie, a wonderful crea- tion of applied deduction blossomed from his heated brain. He would have thought of it before had it not been so simple. All he had to do was to disconnect the main switch from Greorge's storage battery. As all the gongs, bells, traps, and alarms de- pended on this switch, the breaking of the circuit would put them out of order. But success was not yet his own- he still had to pull the main switch. And first, there was one chance he had to take-the opening of the door. If any of the alarms was at- tached to the door, he was lost. With a cold sweat on his forehead, he slowly turned the knob and opened the door about four inches, enough for his purpose. Thank Heavens! not a sou11d! But how to reach and pull the switch? Again his genius came to his aid. Going downstairs he slowly unscrewed the handle of the oil mop. Then taking a piece of picture wire he bent it securely over the end in the form of a, large loop. Returning to the room he extended the handle, carefully slipped the loop over the handle of the switch, and pulled it out. NAI1 I he contentedly sighed to himself, 'tDiligence will be rewarded and youth will be served. Then, with every precaution so as to leave no trace of his actions, he unwound the wire from the handle, tiptoed downstairs, and replaced the mop-handle. Ascending the stairs for tl1e third time, he triumphantly tiptoed into his brother's room with a confident step. He was a, winner- victorious! He had conquered cir- cumstances by the power of his brain. Henceforth he could walk the street with a superior bearing. Moreover he had subdued the proud spirit of his brother, who thought he knew it all in electrical matters. Opening the door to his room, he proudly walked in, snapped on the light, closed the door, turned around and-Ye gods, his mother was sit- ting on the edge of the bed-wait ing!

Many had expressed their desire for such an association, in order that the interests of Cranston High School might be promoted, and that friendships established at school might be renewed and continued. YVilliam T. Harrington, President of the Club, welcomed the Faculty and Alumni in an opening speech, in which he outlined the purpose which the club wished to accomplish at that time, that is, the reorganization of an Alumni Association with a firm foundation. An excellent program was then offered. Selections were given by the Vining Trio, followed by a so- prano solo by Mrs. Amy Viall Ken- ney. A short sketch, entitled The Villain in the l'iece,'l was given by former students: Miss Louise Mc- Mann, Mr. Phillips XVeatherbee, and Mr. John Coggeshall. Miss Mildred Bidwell then played a piano selec- tion. The business meeting was intro- duced by Principal Clarence YV. Bos- worth. A constitution and by-laws were read by Miss M. Madeleine Kane and adopted without change. The nominating committee, comprising Miss Kane, XVilliam Harrington, and Frank Kimball, offered a list of offi- cers for the new organization, who were elected: President, Mr. Joseph Bourret, First Vice-President, Mr. Everett l'otterg Second Vice-Presi dent, Mr. Charles Kelly, Secretary, Miss Alice Adams, Treasurer, Miss Anna Mclnerney. Several spoke about benefits to the school to be derived from the association. Dancing followed the business meeting, while refreshments were served from various booths around tl1e hall. Much ingenuity and origi- nality were displayed i11 the arrange- ment of these booths and in the general decorations of the hall. The green and red trimmings, attractive- ly arranged from the dome, were kindly lent by Mr. Walford. Sandwiches were distributed from an attractive booth trimmed in red and green paper in charge of the class of '20, A t'Crood Fellow ship, in charge of representatives of the classes of 1894 and 1907, proved an ideal dispenser of fruit punch. Poinsettia salads were distributed from a booth which was covered with poinsettias. Coffee was served from a booth in charge of '19. An old English cabin, where cake was served with the combined aid of the classes, '07 to 'l8, was rt very interesting feature, and on the platform a veritable snow scene was effected by the efforts of the class of '22. In the back-ground were evergreen trees, covered with glistening snow, with three huge imitation snow- balls in the foreground. From these ice cream was served. Much credit for the success of the occasion is due to Miss Vesta Rich- mond's willing advice and efficient help. The Post-Graduate Club hopes that it has accomplished something of great importance for the school in the establishment of an active Alumni Association. Long life to it! Doaornr .loRnAN, P. G.
