Two hundred and fifty of our hoys are fighting for democracy. Nearly every week, another of East's sons leaves for some training camp. All of us cannot go “over there, hut we gladly fulfill the demands made upon us here at home, know ing that each sacrifice of time or money brings nearer the day when the boys come home. We are they who stand behind the fiag for which our men offer their lives. “My Stars and my Stripes are your dreams and your labors. 1 says our (lag. Our work is but one part of our duty to ourselves, our boys, America, and mankind. We and the coming generations, for whom all the world fights, must raise even higher the ideals which America has cherished. “Children of America, you are the hope of the world.’ That our fathers and brothers may not die in vain, we must keep our dreams golden, our visions bright and pure. Through her schools and homes, America teaches her lessons of courage, morality and duty, and the brotherhood of man. Let East be at all times worthy of her motto, Amplius, ever striving for higher, nobler standards. May the Stars and Stripes fly always proudly over a school which makes her children loval and worth-while men and women! M. J. TH ANK YOU We wish to thank Miss Whitten for her enthusiastic cooperation: Mr. Glenn for his help with the snapshots; Miss Hayes for her inspiring criticisms. We wish also to thank the following people, whose help has been indispensable: Mr. Ackerson Miss Cole Miss Cooper Miss Lackersteen Miss Jeter Genevieve Kupfer MaI.KKR St MERTON Alice Pesek Violet Olson Catherine Coffman Harry Poole Edith Styles Theodore Estabrook Raymond Houghton Bessie Fairbanks '■� - 3C o. co ox CARDINAL HOARD EDITOR BUSINESS MG.R. ASST.EDITOR ASST. M. R FEATURE PUBLICITY LITERARY ORGANIZATION PERSONAL PERSONAL DRAMATIC ATHLETIC GREETING To the Teachers and Pupils of East High School A PRINCIPAL upon making a change in his official position, will always have some thoughts as to the probability of a smooth adjustment for both the school and himself. There is always a question as to whether the new man will fit into the new school environment, and also the question as to whether the spirit of the school will be such as to adjust itself to the new man. I consider it fortunate indeed to have met the fine spirit of helpfulness and co-operation which has been shown throughout the school by both the faculty and the pupils of East High. In order to make progress toward reaching our ideals as to what a high school should accomplish, no factor is so essential as the realization that we are all working for our school; and to find myself in a school where this feeling so largely exists, is a great satisfaction. I take pleasure in the opportunity of expressing through the Cardinal my appreciation for the very generous response which has been given me, and for the splendid spirit of helpfulness which has been shown. I , is my sincere hope that the East High School may always cherish the ideal of working for a more efficient citizenship; a citizenship made more efficient through that training which will emphasize clear thinking and a better ability to work with our fellow beings, in helping to solve those problems which have to do with our social welfare and progress. With this ideal in mind, I assure you of my hearty and sincere co-operation. S. W. Eh KM AN. ton 1 ■ ■MMN 1 EAST HI G h I SCHOOL, MI N N E A P () L 1 S CAMP EAST Colonel Sheridan V.

Many a time have the most difficult questions been settled at this table. At the head sits her Highness, Eleanor Don I. queen of the eastern division of the country. To the right of her Highness sit Knight Willard Ackerson, dubbed knight by the son of Caesar. He is nervous and his knees quiver. Perhaps it’s because of his nearness to the queen. He looks about with anxious eye to see that no one rushes in with such force as to produce a tumult. Toward the center of the table sits the flower of the company, her Highness, Bridget Hayes, Duchess Secprime. To her is given the honor of founding the “Institute of Etiquette.” She glances about to see that no member of the Square Table might do anything out of place, in the sight of the courtiers. At the other end of the table is August Spohn, royal candle-bearer and encyclopedia to her majesty. Directly across from the Duchess sits Earl Baker, member of the queen’s “Royal Chanters.” He came to join the Square Table after he had been an honored member of “The Hall of Fame.” Italy. To the left of the queen sits Knight Louis Cook, the queen’s protector. He was chosen for the position because of his knowledge of human things. The others, although they are called members of the Square Table, are never consulted and can’t even gel a word in on the side, so are not worthy of discussion. Ramona Keogan.

Our carefree hoys suddenly became men. The call had fanned to a flame the smouldering fires of knighthood. With all the courage and earnestness of youth, they longed to “live pure, speak true, right wrong, and follow the King. “Where there’s a will there’s a way.” That is why East is represented in practically every branch of service. Somewhere, among the little brown tents, khaki-clad, they are training for the contest with Germany’s splendidly drilled beasts. Somewhere, beside the deep blue water, they are training to combat the contemptible traitors sneaking through the sea. Somewhere, with the quivering planes, they are training to imitate the eagle’s destructive swoop. Over there they are gallantly fighting for love, faith, and France. Over there they arc proving that right is might. To you, our boys, the message of the Cardinal is that of the brave little western mother to her sons: “If you should not live to come back, life is but a little span at best, and you would have a part in establishing the finest civilization of which the world has ever dreamed. That only is important which is eternal.’ ” A. S. LOOK YE AND hast thou ever seen ye small white “shingle” which hangs in our goodlie corridore? Ay, tis a brave litle shingle and it calls forthe to alle greate-hearted folke to come and labor in ye surgical dressing station, yea, to labor harde for ye lads that fighte in France. On ye fourthe day of eache weeke, the same being Wednesday, every kindlie soul sacrifices a sore-needed period to ye worke. Ye hurried folke who are so busily employed ye live-long day, and others desiring, come ye hour of two-fifteen and toil harde for a goodlie tyme. Ye learned school mistresses descend ye stairs and instructe ye less-knowing lads and lasses in ye ways and means of ye worke.

Then ye neate and ambitious folke settle themselves down and labor barde till ye tolling of ye belle which makes ye ende of ye allotted tyme. Then ye lads and lasses disrobe themselves of ye cap and apron and mount ye weary stairs to ye fatefulle classes. Ay and I have forgotten to tell thee what it is we toil at. ’Tis ye making of ye bandages for our own brave lads who have been wounded in ye greate fighte. And we sing and weepe in our heartes while at ye worke. singe, that we are able to aid ye suffering ones, and weep that they must suffer. Thus we are doing what ye Master and Creator of us alle would have us do, bring relief to ye suffering and peace to ye wide, wide worlde. For surely our lads are fighting for ye eternal peace.

JUNIOR’S SOLILOQUY To study, or not to study; that is the question; Whether 'tis nobler in the mind, to suffer The marks, the D’s and F’s of outrageous teachers, Or snap our fingers at that host of tyrants, Go to it and. by studying, heat ’em?—To study,—to grind, No more; and, by that studying, to say we give I p all the joys and pleasures of the movies And the other earthly frivolities. To work,—to study; To study! ay, there's the rub; For in that hour of study, what telephone calls may come From Tom or Dick or Harry? When we have studied about fifteen seconds, Then must we pause, for ‘tis not possible To concentrate much longer. Who can digest the ancient algebra. The vapory English, that list of questions, The dried-up memory gems, or bear The terrific task of typewriting. The anxiety on report day, the authority of teachers. And the scorns that verdant freshmen from the seniors take? For who would learn those long soliloquies, And groan and grieve over geometric propositions. But for the fear of something the next day. That awful condemnation of our teachers? This puzzles the mind and makes us Bather burn the midnight oil Than on the morrow bear T he frowning teacher's malevolent look of anger. Thus do our pedagogues make fools of us all; And thus our pleasant hours are overshadowed by fearful thoughts. And all our plans are turned awry From the way which we intended they should go. —Jiggers! She comes, out upon her! Oh. teacher. In thy class-book may none but A's be recorded! Bessie Martin.

Ye French Students OCTOBER 31, I917—The biggest event of the T9 class occurred on this date. It was the first class party. Such “doings and plannings” for this wonderful happening were inconceivable. The social committee worked especially hard on games and “eats.'' At eight o’clock, the good old sewing room was alive with excitement. it seemed as if every single member of the class were there, there was such a large crowd. It was almost too crowded to play many of the games that had been planned. However. “Going to Jerusalem ’ and “Ruth and Jacob” were played with the usual vigor. The main entertainment was dancing. Everyone danced, or attempted to learn to dance. The decorations and refreshments were truly appropriate for Hallowe’en. The party was a grand success, and will go down as a red letter date in the mind of each one that attended it. December 7, 1917—The second class party of the T9 class was held December 7. It was even more successful than the first, although such a thing seemed impossible when it was being planned. It was a costume party or, as some termed it. a fanc dress ball. Everybody represented some character from Indians and Gypsies to wealthy young men in dress suits and Red Cross nurses. A track meet, consisting of a potato race (a new kind I, a marshmallow feast, threading the needle, and pushing the coin along the floor, occurred. There were five sides contesting, each representing one of the high schools in the city. After this lengthy game, the evening was spent in eating (splendid refreshments I and dancing.

Years before. East never knew from one day to the next if she had a field for practice. Besides, the board secured the Southeast Y. M. C. A. for the men.

Somewhere in the neighborhood of forty hoys answered Coach Peterson's “call to arms.” The majority of these, outside of Bros ami Magiera. were unfamiliar with football tactics. At first, this lack of veteran material hindered the development of the team, hut under “PetcV excellent teaching, they became one of the fastest, scrappiest elevens that ever wore the Bed and bite. East opened the season by playing the strong South aggregation. Both teams were in the pink of condition and chuck full of fight. In the second quarter, the East hack-field, having ripped the South line to shreds, went “over the top” for the only score of the game. In the last few minutes of the fourth quarter. East, upon receiving the hall on her own twenty-five yard line, commenced a march that was irresistible. Just at this moment, the unruly “Father Time'' jumped in. and saved South from having another touchdown scored on them, and gave East a 7 to 0 victory. Our next game was with Central, at the North High Athletic Field. Here we met our Waterloo. Although we outplayed Central, the lack of team-work and fumbles, coupled with hard luck, spelled a 7 to 6 defeat for us. The first and second quarters brought out some rapid fire football that kept the spectators on pins and needles. In the last half, East played rings around Central, hut was unable to push the hall over the line. Both of the scores were made in the early part of the game. West was our victim. The East hacks ripped and lore, waltzed and danced, all over the field in general. Three touchdowns were made in the first quarter; two in the second; two in the third; making in all 41 points. This was the largest score run up by any team during the season. Our last game was with North. Ea t, after being out-played in the first half, staged one of the most spectacular comebacks ever w itnessed in a high school league. North got the jump on us in the first minutes of play, and kept the team in hot water the remainder of the half. Because of poor judgment in selecting plays, they were able to run up only 7 points. North, considering this a safe margin, looked for a soft snap the last half; North reckoned without the fighting spirit of our marvelous coach. The desired “fight” and “| ep ’ brought about a change that paralyzed the North squad. Before North knew what had happened. East had chalked up a touchdown and a drop-kick, 10 scores against their 7. The game ended before East could continue the slaughter. As the Meyer’s trophy was withdrawn before the season commenced. Central's victory will not give her a place on the silver hall. Undoubtedly the trophy will he put up for play next year, so East, with seven “E” men hack, will have an excellent chance of “bringing the bacon home.” Here’s hoping we do! Bernard Bros, '17 Captain.

Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the season’s play is the fact that there are very few individual stars. The success of the various teams was due largely to the strength and ability of the team as a whole, rather than to the ability of one or two players. Of course, there are always some men who are a little better than their fellow players. Accordingly, an attempt has been made to pick out a team which should represent the best in the five city high schools. There are very few good ends in the city this year. Grifli of Central and O'Brien of East, being big, fast, and sure tacklers. are classed as the best pair of ends. Ecklund of South is undoubtedly the best tackle that has been developed in Minneapolis in many seasons. He is heavy, fast, and a strong defensive player. Rundquist of South is picked as the other tackle. The season brought out very few good guards. Westling of East and Horr of Central are considered about the best. Scott of .North is the peer of centers. Bros of East is easily the best of the backlield men developed during the season. He runs the ends and hits the line, is a good punter and passer, and can drop-kick if necessary. Hallentinc of Central is the best full-back among the city elevens. He is a fast, heavy player of the smashing type. Magiera of East is selected for the half-back because of his ability to carry the ball. For the quarter-back position. Hanson of East and Olson of Central rank far ahead of their rivals. Hanson, however, is the better field general. The team as here chosen has a heavy, fast-changing line, and a speedy backfiehl. In Ecklund, Bros and Ballentine. it has three punters. There are several good passers with two splendid ends to receive. All of the backs are good end runners, Ballentine and Bros being exceptional line-plungers. The line-up presents a very well-balanced team. Geokce W. Peterson, Coach. Pifiskin Proverbs Pasteurized It’s a wise coach that knows his own men. A down covereth a multitude of slugging. Faint-hearted bucking ne’er won fair victory. A kick from the coach is sufficient.

We had two of the best pitchers in the city and practically a veteran team in the field. But East was set back on account of practice. Practice went smoothly for a while, until the field at Eighteenth and Central was ploughed up for a garden. After this East did not get any steady practice, which practically upset the team. The Central game was our best. Ryan pitched a no run game, while the team came home nine times. This year it is different. East has a field of her own on which they can practice. There are only a few veterans, but the new material is showing up very well. With L Irey drilling the squad, and Benedict leading them into battle, we arc sure of good results. Norman Peterson.

HIRT CASE SI PER TRACK TRACK at East lias had the same difficulties to face this year as formerly. Due to fuel conservation measures, we were not even permitted the use of the St. Anthony Commercial Club gymnasium. In spite of the difficulties encountered, we may say that East is holding her own, by simply sticking it out with the other schools, and hiding her time. When this time arrives, with a new gym and track, we will show the other schools a real team. Though not blessed with victories, the team showed the finest kind of school spirit and a number of good men were developed. Captain Harold Hirl has proved to be the best half miler in the cities and is there with the best of them in the -HO. Our last indoor meet, that with St. Paul Central and South, was our best meet, the issue being undecided until the last few minutes. The results were gratifying to the coach and to the school. We are looking forward to the outdoor season, and ask the school to back up the team and keep alive the spirit for good, clean athletics of all kinds. Coach Reichard. t 70 | l t EAST HIGH S C H O 0 L, M I N N E A P O L I S CROSS-COl NTRY. which is still in its infancy at East, ad anced considerably this year under the direction of Coach Reichard. East has always been handicapped in the development of good track material. However, the team was larger, it entered more meets, showed more enthusiasm, and made better scores than previously. Early in the season. Raynerd Nelson, a letter man of the previous year, was elected captain and William Graham, manager. Nelson proved to be an excellent leader. Although troubled with a bad side in practically all the meets, he showed “real stuff.” In the West meet he lost to Drew by one-half second, making letter time than was made by the winner in any other meet. The events were all held on the hilly Clenwood golf links, which made a real “cross-country,” and a good, hard run. though the actual distance was not so great as it was the year previous. Dual meets were held with Central and West, and a triangular with the schools was mentioned. The creditable showing of the team in these meets was due to Captain Nelson, Fred Kelley and William Graham, veterans, assisted by Frank Eustis, Lawrence Cullen, Arnold Hedin and others. In the inter-class meet, the seniors took the honors with Nelson and Magiera capturing first and third places, respectively. The freshmen were second, with Eustis and Hedin leading their class with second and fifth. Cullen led the juniors and Ileiges the sophomores.

I Is purpose is lo create and maintain high standards of Christian character throughout the school and the community. In this work it is aided by the V. M. C. A., under whose sponsorship it was organized. The club holds its meetings twice a month, once in the school, and once in the V. M. C. A., where all the affiliated Hi-Y Clubs of the city meet together. After a good, old-fashioned supper, consisting of beans and apple-pie, the members have the opportunity of hearing inspiring speeeches by men who represent both the business world and the educational world. In this way the boys are kept in touch with all the live topics of the day, and become interested in local, national, and even international affairs of moment. Only hoys of the junior and senior classes are eligible to be members; but this year a few “A sophomores have been allowed to attend the meetings, in order that they might become interested in the club, and thus be better members when they are juniors. One of the purposes of the club, however, is to have its members act as big brothers toward the under classmen. This year, the club has had charge of the sale of Thrift Stamps in the school; the extremely large sales of East High are largely due to its efforts. Officers President .............................

Perhaps you have not beard a great deal about us. and have thought less. Here is food for thought: We read 0. Henry and sewed eighteen “Firemen’s Socks;” then we tried Bret Harte and Mary E. ilkins with our socks, with just an occasional “drop of 0. Henry. Just about this time, some more girls heard of our educational, industrial, social hour and came in time to become acquainted with Richard Harding Davis and frank Stockton. In March, we outgrew our eighteen weekly socks and short stories and brought the Library Campaign and Richard Harding Davis' longer stories into our family. The Campaign proved almost a black sheep—but only a baby one without horns, because we received three hundred thirty-five books from those of the student body who have learned the giving habit. The scrap books came next, 'lhose seemed to have been invented just to please us. Cartoons, jokes, short stories, and “movie favorites just naturally seemed to have saved themselves. Bits of art. masterpieces in miniature, pride inspiring scenes of our dear Inited Stales, and dozens of reminders of the best land on the globe appeared on all sides to fill the scrap books for our soldiers. Then there were extra days for arranging and pasting when our literary friends remained on their book shelves. The scrap books came in April, and the socks continued to arrive with white ones added to their number. The attendance doubled. Now we chose Kipling for our entertainer, and his “Brushwood Boy. upon his first appearance, won many hearts. Come and join us. You will be sorry to think of all you have missed, but other days are coming.

Its aim, Service, has been fulfilled in every division. The Membership Committee has taken care that every junior and senior girl take interest in her club. The Splash Club, basketball, tennis, and other sports, have been organized under the Athletic Committee. The Social Settlement Committee has sent, every week, girls to the North East Settlement House. These girls have taken charge of playrooms, conducted cooking classes, and supervised libraries. When new girls, whether they were freshmen or upper class girls, have entered East, the Big Sister Committee has helped them to make friends and to become East's loyal supporters. The Hospital Committee has visited our sick girls, and has made garments for poor children. The regular meetings of the Girls' Club, held in the sewing room every other Tuesday, have been planned and conducted by the Social and Program Committees. The Girl- Club, under the supervision of the Bed Cross Committee, has made sweaters, wristlets, and army blankets. A surgical dressing station at East has been established. Outside of the work done in the various divisions, the Girls’ Club takes care of the rest room and conducts the Beading Circle. At Christmas seven unfortunate families were made happy by the Girls’ Club’s Christmas baskets. The club has been a source of inestimable help and pleasure to its members. The girls look forward to its success and companionship in the coming years. Officers for 1917 4 President . . Vice-president Secretary . . Treasurer . .

At last, with a sigh of relief, the crew “swung her to.” Another cargo of hospital supplies had reached France—and with them the cherished East High Girls' Club army blanket. In the center of the thirteenth ward of a large base hospital somewhere in France a little nurse was standing, undecided, holding a gorgeous multi-colored army blanket. Between the rattling of the window panes and the rumbling of the far ofT guns she heard the entreaties of the white-cheeked soldiers. The usual daily reward for good behavior was about to be presented. “Shure. and it’s about toime oi was havin’ me tur-rn.” “Donne-ia-moi, s’il vous plait, cette belle couverture—La. “Aw, please, nurse, I want it.” Finally she spread it on the cot of the latest arrival while a disappointed Tommy-growled, “Hi never did see the likes o’ such bloomin’ luck. The bright, feverish eyes of the rewarded blesse sought the beautiful red cross in the center and the colors of France above it, surrounded by yellow, gray, green, pink, and blue squares. Then, content, he wriggled farther beneath the covers and murmured before falling asleep, “Ah, it’s good to be in Blighty with the nusses and that blinkin' piece o' patchwork a grinnin' like this bloomin’ war was done. When the Hoys Come Home How shall we banish clouds of grey ' How shall we live each passing day. And chase those dreary thoughts away. Till the boys come home? There are little things that we can do: A Thrift Stamp today and tomorrow, too, One spoonful of sugar instead of two. Till the boys come home. For them we’ll keep our home land bright. They fight for what they know is right; Our faith will be a beacon-light To bring our boys safe home. Valor and strength they are showing there; Love and trust must be our share. Helpful hands and heartfelt prayer. Till the boys come home. When they come home across the sea. We'll have a gladsome jubilee. The world will be from terror free. When the boys come home.

Bl MPSTFAD-LEIGH is a comedy dealing with the ambitions of an American family, whose fortune had been made in the patent medicine business. The scene is at the Long Island country home of an aristocratic American family. Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh. at times when she is alone with her family, loses her culture and refinement and adopts the manners of her youth which was spent in Indiana. The arrival of a former sweetheart of Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh and the declaration of the truth by iolet, the younger sister, almost cause the defeat of Mrs. Bump-stead-Leigh’s plan. Her aim was to marry iolet to one of the wealthy Rawsons. Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh by her cleverness conquers all obstacles and gains the victory. The play was coached by Miss Jeter. Jlistin' Bauson .

The dishes of Latin, literature, and history which the teachers set before them do not satisfy their appetites. In vain Mother East High School attempts to pacify them. She is forced to seek advice from the Students’ Council. After a little conference, a decision is reached: amusement is the only remedy. Football, dancing, chorus, orchestra and dramatics please for a while, but soon pall. Just as the kitties are about to die of “ennui,” out flits the Cardinal Bird. After a merry chase, and a plentiful sprinkling of salt, the kitties catch the Cardinal. You, gentle reader, are the judge of just how good the bird tasted to senior, junior, sophomore, and freshman cats.

So have I often thought of our Alma Mater, and at this time especially, when the very earth is shaken with the turmoil of war. Through our boys in service, the ideals wc cherish are carried into almost every training camp of the Union, and out on the battle fronts of France, to the very ends of civilized Europe. Every noble trait of character, developed in the wholesome atmosphere of the old school, will push itself into the light of being, and exert its own splendid influence over the lives of others. Sons of East, we cannot honor you enough. The words uttered by our lips are weak in comparison with the emotions which stir our inmost feelings. But this we can do. As you are offering your life-blood to make the world safe for democracy, so also is it in our power to prepare our community for the acceptance of the Great Ideal. CONCERNING THE CAMP LIFE OF THE ROYS If we are to believe such a generally well-informed authority as Private Peat, we will rapidly dispel any fears which we may entertain concerning the evil influence of camp life. Within a short year America has built up her extensive present resources. And in this preparation, she has by no means neglected the problem of the moral and physical welfare of the soldier. The ordinary camp-day is as carefully planned out as is the daily program of the school boy. Each morning finds the soldier off on an invigorating hike and back in time for a wholesome breakfast. The rest of the morning is spent in attending classes and drilling. The monotony of this hard work is broken by the noonday meal and a most welcome hour of recreation. In the afternoon the majority of the Sammies hie themselves to their books to prepare the next day’s tasks. For others, drilling makes up a large part of the afternoon's program. But after an unmerciful attack on the supper table, all join in the real joy of camp life. Recreations, such as movies, dancing, bowling and billiards arc provided. The V. M. C. A. and Knights of Columbus throw open their hospitable doors, and invite all to share the same pleasures. Knowing all this, it is not for us, here at home, to fret about possible degeneration among our boys. I rust Private Peat and the officials of the War Department when they say, “There are no bums in the army and navy. The bums you will find on your city streets!” t i 1 N I N E T E E N E I G H T E E N C A R D I N A L Capdo d'Aviazione Ovcst, Foggia, Italy. March 13, 19115 Dear Editor:— You certainly have me up a stump when you ask me to write a personal recollection of East High. In a good many ways my five years' course there was like my trip across the Atlantic. Both were very stormy and somewhat rough. Then again, on the way over, at first I was afraid that I was going to die. and later on I was afraid that I wouldn't die. Thus it was at Fast High. But I came out all right in both cases, although they both took time. I have thought of the old school many times and in many connections. First, there is Prof. Bay, who, with the aid of a sledge and brace and hit. hammered and drilled a lot of wood and iron working knowledge into me. I bis I find very useful in the aviation service, for when you have been sent for left-handed monkey-wrenches, etc., you are very liable to hesitate when you are asked by a mechanic to walk a mile or so for a “wing-pump to inflate the wings of a plane. Then, there is Miss McDill, and I shudder even now, with the little pond, the Atlantic, between us, for fear that she will read this letter. It lacks unity and coherence, and is just one mass of mistakes. But even she would find it difficult to write when a hunch of very loud talking Italians are trying to teach some of our boys how to talk the language of this country near by. Bcally, friends, I am afraid that 1. along with “Ackie, must say there is “nemo domi,” for I know not what else to say, except that 1 wish you all luck, and hope that the Cardinal for this year will be the best of them all. Yours very truly, Cadet Mark F. Hamilton. Editer’s Note: The faculty will be interested to know that Mark is reformed into the very image of docility. Since his arrival in Italy he has conquered an ancient grudge against spaghetti and his cousins, and has consumed at least five miles of it without even one naughty word. In active service with the American Expeditionary Force, France. Dear Editor; May 2, 1918. I regard it a great privilege to contribute to the Cardinal, and not at all a favor to be reluctantly granted. In fact any reluctance that I may feel is due to my native inability to write anything more than a mere space filler, and I know from experience that there is no space for waste in the Cardinal. Fortunately, I have received two copies of the Orient, and so old East High seems very close. If you wish, you might print as my contribution the following: “The happy thoughts of old days at East, brighten now, more than ever, the occasional dull hours of an alumnus in France.” The above will, I am sure, look very good in the smallest type obtainable. Let us hope that the above suggestion will be considered. W ith the best wishes for the biggest and best Cardinal, I remain Sincerely, Alexander Helmick, ’l l, 1st Lieutenant Aviation Section. N. S. K.. B. M. A. 192 | I 93 1 N I X E T E E N E I G H T E E N C A R D I N A L PERSONALS East is proud to claim among its sons in service Arnold Wyman, a beacon-light in high school and college athletics. Leaving the Fort Sneliing Camp for France in September, 1917, he spent three eventful months in the French Artillery Training Camp. Since the beginning of the present year he has been engaged in active service on the French Front. Sergeant Carl J. Rood, known by all Fast High as “Kewpie Rood,” has not only enlisted into the uncertainties of war, but also of matrimony. Lieutenant Ernest Boruski displays his old-time determination when he declares he will not leave Berlin until he has “painted the name of old East High on the palace of Kaiser Bill.” Good boy, Ernest! Hop to it. Mark Hamilton gives us an interesting account of a baseball game played by rival camps in Italy, in which he took part. We are sure that “Sandy” is as able a soldier as he is an all-around athlete. Among the members of the University Base Hospital Unit No. 26, who are anxiously awaiting sailing orders at Fort McPherson, Georgia, arc Harold Huey, Harvie McFarlane, Milden Way, Hart and Douglas Anderson, all former notorieties of East High. AMONG THE PERTINENT QUESTIONS OF OLD-TIMERS 1. Is the East High gymnasium better equipped than it was of yore? Antiquated Athlete. 2. Does Ackie still covet things, golden-tresses, for instance? Obsolete Observer. 3. How about Looie Cook and the trusty carry-all-Gladys? 1 smile to recall Looie's first drive with her. Poor Gladys? No, no! Poor Looie! Superannuated Oborigine. 4. Has Miss Case risen from the ranks in the police hierarchy? She was a whole force in herself in my day. Old-Time SufTerer. 5. Do Mrs. McIntyre and Miss Gjems still spend all their spare time in contriving pleasant recreations for their Latin classes? No? Hm! They always used to! Archaic Shark. Amplius Trying to get the most fun out of all His life; ignoring History, “Lit, and “Math”; Facing with shamefaced grin his teacher's wrath: Reciting in an undecided drawl. To take up time; hurtling through crowded hall To lunch, regardless of the aftermath Of startled girls who happened on his path: So lived the high school hero of football. But he came back to East the other day, With purpose in his eyes, his face burned tan; The smug content that on his face lay. Is changed to firm resolve by Uncle Sam; Ready to do his best to end the fray, The war has made our careless boy a man. I 911 Pu.Jgc Wyman, Ccofge Mult IlanS.Hclmick amcs rrivciu. Arckic.

Twelve ten! and a five-page theme to be written to hand in the next day. The paper in front of me seemed to say, “I am blank—blank!” My mind echoed that statement—“I am blank— absolutely blank! What do you intend to do about it?” 1 groped wildly for an idea—an inspiration. A dozen came; then retreated to the dark, dusty corners of my brain, seeming to sit like grinning goblins, mocking at my despair. My thoughts reverted to the party from which I had just returned; to the zero I had received that day; to a new dress 1 was having made; in short, to everything but the right thing. Vet I must write the theme. What would Miss McDill say if 1 came to class without it? 1 tried desperately to think —I made two or three last feeble efforts.

Perhaps I might not he called upon to read it........1 really ought to write something, though..........What would Miss McDill say? • 1 went to school. On arriving, I thought I surely must he late, for everybody was rushing about as if on the way to the first hour class. I was at a loss to understand it. I knew 1 had taken an early car. I caught a glimpse of Bixie striding down the corridor. After making two or three futile grabs, 1 collared her, and asked her to explain. “Didn't you read the morning paper?” she asked. “The Germans are victorious. The schools are already under German supervision, and there are spies everywhere to see that the orders of the new government are carried out. If you don’t know where you are supposed to go. you may as well come with me into the German History class. It’s compulsory, anyhow.” She dragged me into Boom 18 just as the tardy bell rang. There sat Miss Mortenson with a “do or die expression on her face. She explained to us that the history lessons were prepared by the Kaiser, and that we were to answer the questions just as the hook prescribed, on pain of fine and imprisonment for disobedience. She was to ask the questions, and we were to answer in chorus, after her. too) EAST HIGH SCHOOL, MINNEAPOLIS The first question was, “Who is the best, mightiest, noblest, most powerful man on earth today?” Answer: “Kaiser Wilhelm.” Miss Mortenson looked doubtful. “The Kaiser,” she said, “is crazy. We will continue.” “What is the best form of government for all the peoples of the earth?” Answer: “German autocracy.” Here Miss Mortenson interposed, “That is not true. You need not repeat that answer. We will omit it.” A German spy stepped out from behind the maps. “We agree,” he said, “on one thing. The kaiser is crazy. But I’m paid to see that these questions are answered according to the law. You are under arrest.” He produced hand cuffs, and led Miss Mortenson away, in spite of our protests. I wandered up to Boom 41. Mr. Cook was giving the German version of a chemistry quiz. The questions were on the board. I tried to answer the questions, but it was the most fearful and wonderful chemistry quiz ever given in Room 41. The questions were as follows: 1. Give the formula for sauer kraut. 2. What kind of a chemical reaction was that of Belgium? Test for neutrality. 3. Give the equation for pretzels and l eer. 4. What is the most effective poison for well water? I pondered over these questions until the bell rang, then I gave up in despair and handed in a blank paper. I decided that I must go to “Lit sooner or later. There was always the chance that I wouldn't be called upon to read my theme. Miss McDill announced that we would no longer study English Literature. She further said (there were tears in her eyes as she made this announcement) that even Wooley was taboo. We all breathed a sigh of relief at this last, and reflected on the truth of that time worn proverb about there being “no great loss without some small gain.” Then came the awful moment. “We will now take up the work as assigned for today. You may read your theme.” said Miss McDill, looking straight at me. For ten awful seconds 1 sat there like one suddenly turned to stone. Then I essayed to speak, in a tense voice that sounded to me as if it came from a great distance. “I didn’t write any,” 1 said. “Didn't write any! echoed Miss McDill. She strode down the aisle, and grasping me firmly by the shoulders, shook me until my teeth chattered. “Is this the way you do your work?” she demanded. I opened my eyes. Mother was shaking me by the shoulders. “Come! Wake up. It’s long after one o’clock! If you must write that theme, I'll call you in the morning.” I stumbled, yawning, up the stairs to bed. 1 must have been asleep all of five minutes when I heard mother call, “It’s six o’clock, and you have that theme to write.” Five minutes later I emerged from my room, sleepy-eyed, fell half way down stairs, jerked myself awake, and sat down to write a theme on “The German Educational System.” Oh, yes, 1 got C-Fail in the theme. I thought you might like to know. Bessie Fairbanks. I 97 J NINETEEN EIGHTEEN CARDIN A L ne fut qu'une petite riviere, presque une fontaine; elle s'appela I'Yser.

Many the hardships which we have fortuitously endured, many the inconveniences which we have suffered in order that we may not blemish the good name of East. When the country called for Liberty Bonds, prompt was our answer. One and all we subscribed, and one by one the buttons appeared on coat lapels and dresses. Then came the ringing cry of the Red Cross. Recklessly we tendered nickels, pennies, and dimes, lopped ruthlessly from lunch and carfare money. The girls knitted their fingers to the bone. We ate straw-stuffed, salmon-filled buns instead of our usual dainty confections of fine white biscuit, ham, and mustard. But that was not all. Some fiendish fanatic, thinking to put the sugar industry out of business, proposed that we. lawful citizens of the United States of America, sign a pledge promising not to touch candy for two l2 months! The person who proposed it (he probably was a dyspeclic) argued that Uncle Sam’s soldiers need the candy themselves. Imagine a Sammy, up to his knees in the mud constituting the floor of his bed room, calmly devouring an all-day-sucker! We have given our money gladly to the Liberty Loans; given more to the Red Cross; we have knitted sweaters and helmets, wristlets and quilts; we have taken to eating bran-mush and oats instead of edibles; but we will not, mark you, Mr. Garfield, or whoever is the author of this infernal proclamation, we will not renounce our candy! To slightly alter Mr. Henry’s famous speech, “Givvus our candy or givvus death!” (P. S. We signed the pledge.) George Lainc. t 100 J EAST HIGH SCHOOL, M I N N E A P O L I S HOW THE WAR STRUCK EAST IN “ante-bellum” days, life at Last High was a gay, frivolous existence. East’s boys and girls with the thoughtlessness and carelessness of youth quite naturally preferred the bright, colorful road of pleasure to the cloistered one of study. A peep into the latter five minutes before recitation sufficed. While Germany was educating her hoys and girls in the grim school of war, our girls were still interested in the fluffy, dainty frocks and hats, dear to girlish hearts, our hoys were playing hard to attain the honors of football heroes. Then came the time when the only righteous road that remained to Uncle Sam was the way of the dripping sword. As time passed, Uncle Sam's progress was more rapid, not because the way was growing easier, hut because the realization of the perilous position of civilization was upon his people. And thus Last also turned, slowly hut surely, and assumed the common responsibility of war. The sewing classes and the Girls’ Club chose knitting as their hit, with a sacrifice of refreshments at Girls' Ciuh meetings. The Heading Circle toed the socks knit by firemen. The cooking classes became conservation cooks and bought a Liberty Bond. Thrift stamps, Liberty Bonds, the Belgian Belief Fund, and subscriptions for the Bed Cross, all had their days. The gardening campaign ended with a garden in every family of the East High district that was able to obtain ground space. The surgical dressings classes have become as firmly established as the English classes. The fourth day of the week is no longer Wednesday on the East High almanac. It is Surgical Dressing Day. And last. East unfurled its service flag of 235 stars. Tireless giving of time ami money we know will end the conflict. As we have done in the past, so will we work in the future until our army—victorious—comes marching home. Then once again will the red rays of the sun. sinking from gory battlefields to a morrow of democracy, cast around old East the glory of well accomplished labor of love. I sit and think and plan and plan and think. Why won't high thoughts my dull brain penetrate? Why will ideas all conglomerate, And not he friends in rhyme like one long drink? Why must I waste good literary ink In twisting up my sentences innate To make them rhyme in lines of more than eight, W hen I would throw them off the river’s brink? It is to reach my heart’s desire—an A. E’en though this view “she” says I must not take; My muse is striking for an eight-hour day, It longs, as I. for summer's shady lake. Yet upward, onward must I pen my way. Until a fine diploma shall I stake. t ioi 1 Anne Stldnicka. N I N E T E E N EIGHT E E N C A R D I N A L 01.D GLORY IN FRANCE A YEAR ago, America, true to that nation which was a friend in need, paid the debt of honor by sending to France Pershing and his men. Our Sammies, serious of mien and with a fixed purpose before them, marched through the streets of Paris—marched past a people whose hopes had soared skyward as the lark, at the sight of this fresh, strong army in brown. Our beautiful, starry banner, bringing the message of faith and staunch friendship, fluttered proudly over her sturdy young followers. The few men who were onlookers uncovered, the women wept tears of gratitude, and the children of a Paris orphanage knelt, knelt in the street as Old Glory passed by. They were the children whose mothers and sisters had been carried off to Germany, whose fathers and brothers were in the front line trenches or had passed into the Great Beyond. They were the little children, who before the war had been merry and rosy-cheeked like our own little brothers and sisters, but now their faces were wan and pinched and their great haunting eyes mirrored in their childish depths the great tragedy of the greatest war. Sheltering, loving arms have they found wherever the Stars and Stripes were unfurled. They knelt in tribute. A sweeter, more genuine, more precious tribute was never offered to the American flag. May it remain forever unspotted by dishonor, and may we, who pledge our allegiance to it. be forever faithful to our ideals of liberty and justice for all. SERVICE In a hidden furrow of No Man's Land A wounded soldier lay, A youth of Canada's hero band Who fought with the French that day. He heard no more the battle's din. He saw no more its glare; The field relief he could not win For deadly poison air. Inconsciousness, with pitying veil. The carnage now concealed; Again a boy, carefree and hale. He plowed Alberta’s field. Along the Athabasca shore He trudged in boyhood's bliss; His prairie home he saw once more. He felt his mother's kiss. His playmates, pets, his horse and dog. He calls them as before. Then through his mind’s beclouded fog Comes back the field of gore. His dog is there--no, not the same. A stronger, bolder breed— A scout sent out in mercy's name. A friend in time of need. A sniff, a whine, and off he goes For Red Cross ambulance; Dogs even minister to woes I pon the fields of France. Sad mother on Alberta’s plain. The Red Cross pledges you. Its gentle hand to lessen pain. Its service faithful, true. Winifred Mo. t U� 2 I EAST HIGH SC II () 0 L, MI N N E A P O L I S AFTER DEATH. WHAT? or Wanderings of Prominent People in Hades IN the year 1950, I found myself a passenger in the boat of Charon, the same Charon who has steamed up the Styx for a few million years. In the usual hurry and bustle to get a seat, 1 did not notice anyone whom I recognized. The engine •‘tooted” and we pulled out. I was in the midst of a discussion with my friend, Sarah Teasdale, of the invasion of modern influence even to “crossing the bar,” when the conductor came up to me. Imagine my surprise when 1 discovered him to be Lowell Canfield, who used to “stick us for class dues. “Well, hello there. Peggy,” said he, in the same old way, “ What’s the news from the upper regions? I told him of his friends still detained in the flesh; of Frances Peterson, operating a Sunday School; of Mr. Ackerson, teaching, not Latin, but dancing; of Victor Lewis, manufacturing hairpins by the billion; of many others, prominent in the days of 18. In fact, so engrossed did we become in our conversation, that I was the last to leave the boat. Lowell hung on my very words. 1 attempted to shake hands with him, but found it really impossible as he and I are both composed of merely IL.S. Here let me inform the interested reader that, at first, Hades resembles to a great extent the hall of K. 11. S. during lunch period. I was spared, however, the pain of being jostled, as we spirits just fade through each other in a pleasant manner. Standing on the edge of the crowd, I observed one ghost wringing her hands. Twas the same old Florence! “Come, show me around,” I urged, “I would like to see the sights. QIT we wandered through the gardens to the Hlvsian Fields. Among the many shades, 1 saw Elmer Lang and Emery Sweetman playing golf. I ndcr a tree was Janice Gross, holding an intimate conversation w ith Cleopatra. Close by were Blcnda Carlson. Lawrence Sandsmark, and Demosthenes, who at first sight appeared to be eating pebbles. Approaching them, I realized they were practicing Dramatic Art, in the world-famous method. Florence introduced me to Shakespeare, whom I saw-roaming about with Margaret Helander. I noticed many couples promenading up and down the beach of the Pluto Waters, among them the noted beauty Carmen Evans with Julius Caesar; Anne Studnicka, the novel writer, with Robert W. Chambers; Raymond Houghton, the once wealthy cookie manufacturer, with Helen of Troy. Florence and 1 stopped to get some Angel Food and Fruit Nectar at the Enfcr-Inn, owned by Raymond Kort. Our pretty little waitress, Ruth Lundberg, recognized me immediately. She told me that Adele Hauser was chief cook of the hotel nearby. On account of the many guests, we could not talk as much as we wished. Florence and I again took our way along the Board Walk. Soon we reached the piazza of Hades’ best hotel, the Lotus. Dancing about to the music of Mozart and Beethoven, were Alva Shadde. who was a lady barber, and John Knox. The various costumes were most amusing. Arthur Sandhoff was dancing the Military One-Step with Jeanne D’Arc. Hans Rosacker, a minister in 1935, waltzed up with a queerly attired person whom he introduced as Queen Elizabeth. In a corner. Donald Mulligan was amusing the Sirens by I n� 3 J • iiiiw! ■ :n : imasumm NINETEEN I E I G H T E E N C A R D I N A L “U—ra—rah— e. h. sar In the hammock sat Edward .Nickerson discussing Neo-platonism with Sappho. Philip Hutchinson was teasing them by crawling under the hammock and suddenly humping them up in the ozone. “Ladies Invited,’ said the sign on the outside of the door, so I went in, with Florence. Lounging in a corner was Selmer Von Stocken with a big black “stogie.” I walked over to the window to get a little fresh air. There were Joy Larrabee and Erdine Beard. Upon the earth, it seems, they had both married Adolphus Bergeron, a prosperous chicken-farmer, and now they were sympathizing with each other, stifling their regrets in cigarette smoke. As I casually glanced out of the window, I noticed Roy Carlson driving up in a little runabout. He came into the smoking room immediately, and asked me to take a little ride with him. As he drove very slow ly through the park, I was able to see many old friends. Upon a sec-saw were Eleanor Butler. Chester Bros, and George Dingman. Sad to say. Chester and George were, by necessity, on the same end. Eleanor had no difficulty in keeping the balance. Whom should I see quarreling in the sandpile but Frances Casmar and Clara Eide! Just as 1 was about to interfere, Ellen Eneroth appeared, disengaging Clara’s fingers from Frances’ curls. I asked Roy why so many of our old classmates seemed to have returned to the pleasures of childhood. He answered that, as they had not studied hard at East, their brains had remained undeveloped. May I be so bold as to hope my readers w ill learn a lesson from their experience? After I had seen all the sights of the pleasant part of town, I insisted that Florence take me to the more painful regions. My startled eyes beheld Gladys llernlund tugging at her chains to reach a piano just out of reach of her finger tips. Helen Todd was dancing, in Ground Grippers, with the affrighted Bernard Bros, on a reel hot floor. Herbert Rogers was forced to entertain gallantly Grendel’s mother. Every time he involuntarily heaved a sigh of horror she would bite his ear. Clamped to a chair was George Super, listening to the merry rag-time which fell from Edith Styles’ unwilling fingers. Catherine Sweet was reading book after book of poetry. She told me that she had 5,000.000.000.000 more books to read before she expiated her crime of liking prose only. Near by was Mabel Simpson darning innumerable socks. Her only sin was joking too much. Mortals, be careful! This last tragedy was too much to endure calmly, so I went up to Pluto to get my judgment cards made out. I was overjoyed to hear that, inasmuch as I had gone without candy in Lent, 1918. and had bought Thrift Stamps in enormous quantities. I could do anything I wished. Therefore, as we said in Geometry, long ago, 1 have written this epistle to my friends. Conductor: “This transfer has ex- pired.” Miss Mortenson: “No wonder, with- out a ventilator in the car open.

While you were sleeping, he was working. While you were telling your innermost secrets, he was there. By this most diligent searching, he has discovered the skeleton in the closet of your life. We present only a few of the 1 ire facts he has disclosed to us, concerning the lives of apparently respectable people. “Truth crushed to earth will rise again. 1. Sarah French used to swear in public. For instance, upon a picnic she said with malice in her eye, speaking of a poor little stufTed egg, “Where is that devilish egg?” Witnesses, Helen Todd, Esther Hull. 2. While John McLean has the appearance of being perfectly harmless, there is proof that he has committed the most dastardly crimes. At least five witnesses swear that he once skipped his “Lit” class. We hereby venture to hope that his wild oats having been sown, John will reform, and hereafter walk the straight and narrow-path. W itnesscs, Harriet Kitlredge, Ruth Lundberg, and others. 3. Bernice Langtry is known to most people as a modest little violet, but we are convinced that she is at least a sunflower. Once she invited a handsome boy to a dance. At the time he accepted, but he never showed up. If the guilty party ever reads this, he can know he is referred to, and will please give his reasons to the young damsel, as several young ladies were sadly disappointed on the evening of February 11. Witnesses, Leota Williams, Mildred Ryan. 4. We have on display in the Cardinal room an authentic photograph of Ruth ZlEMER with a dashing young soldier. The visitors may judge for themselves as to whether or not he is her brother, as she says. W itnesses, The Cardinal Board. 5. Although we have been offered enormous sums to conceal this bit of information, we think it our duty to the young ladies of East High School to make known these facts: The following young gentlemen (names deleted by the censor) were escorting some perfectly lovely E. H. S. girls home after a skating party, when, as if by magic, on the stroke of twelve, the afore-named left the young ladies, six in number, to the mercies of the prowling night hawks which flitted about the deserted streets in the wee sma' hours. Such unmanly conduct is only to be expected of the above mentioned youngsters. All young ladies are warned of their company. (Isn't it a shame that the censor cut their names? I Witnesses, H. R., W.

I quote this incident to show that there are some good people in the world, despite the opinion of Rev. A. M. Witnesses, Nobody but me. 7. Everybody, of course, knows Florence Gorman, don't you?

N C k H I) 1 ? s A L KNITTING IF Madame Defarge could be recalled to life, she would feel very much at home in the company of most East High girls, and some boys. For although they might not be able to understand each other's tongue, they would speak another language in the click of knitting needles. Madame Defarge, you remember, knit while she watched the guillotine cut off heads; similarly, Catherine Sweet knits while she studies. There is never a dropped stitch, never a mistake. Catherine tranquilly knits and learns. She watches with amusement the labors of Einar Mo. who, as he hauls in a stitch, wipes the sweat off his brow with triumphant hands. Likewise, Miss Donaldson, wielding her needles with painstaking care, follows the travels of each loop with itinerating tongue. She has never been known to drop a stitch or to exceed the speed limit. Click, click, click, as regularly as a machine gun, go Catherine Coffman’s weapons. Having put her hand to the needles, when she looks back she secs row upon row of perfect stitches. But to return to Madame Defarge; one thing is certain, if she could see Bixie Mo knit, she would recognize her as the Vengeance re-incarnated. Bixie knits as though her needles were bayonets. With each stab she glances up at the onlookers, self-approval in her eye. No one but the Vengeance or Madame herself ever knit with such physical exercise. But these needle wiclders arc only a few of the types one sees about East. They all knit, slowly, rapidly, with agonizing stare, or placid self-content, as the case may be. Each one is doing her best to keep our boys warm. As Madame Defarge knit into her work the death warrants of oppressors, so our girL knit the death warrant of the “Mailed Fist into their sweaters, helmets, and socks. THE KNITTING CLUB “So kind of you to come today. When you're so busy, to help us knit.” “My dear. I couldn't stay away. I’ve got to tell, or I'll have a fit.” “Hal Brown was married yesterday. And to a regular old hag—” “Oh, really, Helen, you don't say!” “Excuse me. have you seen my bag? “My dear, your coat I simply love, I am going to ask my dad for one. Now. how do I knit here above? Oh, dear, see what I’ve gone and done!” “Oh. mercy to me, it's half past four! The time has gone so dreadfully fast!” “1 wish I could help the Bed Cross more. There, now, that sock is done at last!” I in I I 115 I N I E T E E X E I G H T E EX CARDIN A L This I Beheld, Nor Dreamed It In a Dream The president of the senior class chasing around desks and over chairs after Frances Peterson. Ye shades of past seniors, where is his dignity? Ackie telling the 18 seniors that never before had he been forced to hear such babbling. Ye seniors, now departed, what availed your noisy whispers? Senior girls all wearing moccasins. Dainty post-graduates, where are your French heels? Miss Hayes nimbly dancing the-------? Chaperones of parties gone by, come to our aid! The soft-voiced Elsa Schon speaking in auditorium. Ye deaf ones, your days of bliss are o’er. Miss Mortcnson powdering her nose. Ye coquettes, where departed arc her looks of contempt? Miss Cooper frowning. Ah, mademoiselle, votre sourire esl plus charmante. Einar Mo courting the ladies. Comrades, where is the blushing woman-hater of 17? Intelligence Test. Answer Yes or No. 1. Why do you laugh when an avoirdupoisy person, such as Mr. Pennell, descends to the bosom of the caith? 2. At what distance can Janice Gross be distinguished from other damsels? 3. Why is A room like a lunatic asylum? 4. If Mildred Dolan can say fifty words a second, how loud does Bixie talk. 5. What can a poor girl do when John McLean stares at her all period? If you can answer anv five of these questions, you might as well refrain from going to school. There’s nothing more for y Mr. Baker had been trying for a full hour to instill a taste for classic music in the heads of the people of the class. “Now, he said. “I will sing anything you like. Voice from the rear: “Please sing, ‘They Go Wild, Simply Wild Over Me.’ ” Miss McDill: “Milton would spend weeks at a single paragraph.’’ II. G.: “That’s nothing, over in Stillwater men spend their lives on one sentence. ’ to learn. Lawrence Sandsmark was speaking in the auditorium, when a cabbage flew past his ear. He said, “I fear someone in the audience has lost his head.” The girls of the “Splash Club thought one day That they would learn to dive— Now they’ve decided it doesn’t pay. And they’re glad that they’re alive. Miss Shillock: “In a class of this size we must preserve order.” R.
