Dowling A II Gilman Eiatnrg NE day in September, 1913, we first entered East High School as Freshmen. We came running up the stairs with our hearts in our mouths, and I read the large sign, New Pupils to the Auditorium. Then we started: up-stairs, down-stairs, through the halls, to the elevator, everywhere but to the right place we went. No matter where we went we heard, or thought we heard, Flats! Flats! Flats! We finally did reach the Auditorium, and for a while all was well, and while receiving our programs, we began to feel truly grown up, and to acquire the dignity of High School students. Somehow we lived through the first days, and even completed our first semester without more than the ordinary number of mishaps. As we look back we recall the Baby Show as the most important event of that term. When we became D II's, our heads were in the clouds, but I am not sure that our feet were on the ground. We did our part to help the Entertainment Course, and felt proud to think we helped to buy the new piano. Then we were Sophomores! We talked it, we walked it, we sang it, we acted it. That year we learned to draw straight, curved, dotted, squirmy, wiggly lines by the hundreds. That was Geometry! Our teachers told us we must not memorize the propositions, but when we applied the same rule to the theorems, they were not at all sympa- thetic. What a bugbear Caesar was! Always fighting fighting, never getting anywhere so far as we could seeg just Writing words, words for us to translate. The joy of being a Junior! We read reams and reams of O tem- pora! 0 moresf' Incidentally we discovered that we had several orators in our number. During this year we took upon our shoulders the responsibility of governing ourselves. We joined clubs and eagerly took part in spreads and dances. With our own money and some contributed by the Sopho- mores we bought a Pathescope for the school. As Seniors we began the year by organizing our class, electing offi- cers, and, last but not least, collecting dues. We are on the last lap. Stud- ies and amusements vie with one another for our interest. Soon we shall leave East. Some of us will go to college, some will enter work in other fields. Wherever we go we shall try to remember that East High has marked us with her stamp of approval, and do nothing to dishonor her fair name. RUTH A.

The principal had told us that We must obey the rule. But still we pranced around the halls, Ran up and down the stairs. We did not realize that we Were adding to our cares. And thus we spent our Freshman year How foolish now it seems, When we look back, we can but think That we were silly screams. We always hoped the Sophomore year Would make us grown-up folks, And break the dull monotony Of always being jokes. The second year was what we asked, And, not to our dismay, The foolish, fretful, funny life Had somehow passed away. Now, let me tell you, we did work. There seemed to be a lull In all our childish foolishness- Our lessons were less dull. 41 By this time we were wide awake, Our studies now were real. Before We finished that short year We'd found out quite a deal. Our Junior year was full of fun, An even better change. The lecture course, the dance, the club Were now Within our range. We helped to buy a reel machine, We entertained you all. We had a Sophomore-Junior day When parents came to call. As stately Seniors, now, we all Are having quite a timeg But We'll be here till Christmas, so We just are in our prime. Just what this class is fit to do Next year will surely show, And we must do all that we can For East, before we go. Whate'er We do Within that time Will be for old East High, Behind the grand old banner phrase, Let's do it or let's die?

After various trials and tribulations, we, the members of the class, were assigned our respective rooms and teachers, each one of us thinking himself particularly fortunate in the selection. After we were comfortably settled and were becoming acquainted with our classmates, one of the most important events of our high school careers occurred. The annual feast for sore and jaded eyes, the Baby Show, was held. Our parents came to see it, and, consequently, became better acquainted with all our good and eflicient teachers. Some of our parents left for home in a puzzled state of mind, wondering how such kindly-looking instructors could find it in their hearts to give low marks, for they had heard the various upper classmen predicting our early down- fall by the primrose path of many zeros. After several months of much speculation and jealousy, with not a few patronizing remarks from these same upper classmen, our abilities were finally recognized. We were no longer unmitigated freshies, but dignified and respected Sophomores. We were asked to sell tickets for an entertainment course, which we did all the more gladly when we ascer- tained that the funds were to be used to help worthy, yet needy, pupils. A few weeks later we held a Sophomore-Junior Day, and presented the school a moving picture machine. At this time Student Government and the Blue and Gold appeared in our midst. After giving both our solemn contemplation we made up our minds to give these innovations our hearty support. By helping to solicit advertisements and subscriptions we have aided in the support of the paper. Many of us have contributed to its columns various articles of wit and wisdom, some of which have been passed by the censor, and some of which have passed by the censor. Since becoming popular and efficient Juniors, we have been called upon to make another entertainment course a success. We feel positive that without our efforts it would have been a failure, as the wonderful results, due to the labors of the Juniors, are too well known ever to be forgotten. Since our class has been organized, and we have our own president, we are prouder than ever of our school--what we have done for it, and what it has done for us. Many are the lessons we have learned-stamped indelibly on our minds, and many the friendships we have formed-stamped indelibly on our hearts. With gratitude for the past and zeal for the future, let us continue the splendid work which we have thus far so nobly advanced.

The whole class was told to go to a large ward, the Auditorium. Within an hour we had been divided into sections and assigned to smaller wards by the head of the staff, Dr. Loth- man, and his assistant, Miss Adams. In each ward we found a capable nurse who gave us cards upon which were the numbers of our various operating rooms. The doctors and older patients perceived at once that our trouble was a very disagreeable one, Flatitis, in medical parlance. Among the treatments we received the first term were large doses of Vocational Guidance. Most of the recollections of that first ward are rather hazy, owing to the suffering from sharp cuts inflicted by the patients who had been longer in residence than we. In our second, D II, term, the older residents found that, while they had practically cured the troubles with which we entered, we had now contracted the very dangerous disease of swelled heads. We were now put under the strenuous treatment of a baby show which immediate- ly reduced the swelling. After recovering from this we were put in the C I ward. In this ward we found that our doctors understood our troubles much better and were able to operate more quickly and with less pain. In this ward we met such torturing instruments as Caesar, Geometry, and Myths of the Trojan War, which tend to strengthen the mind. To counteract these we were given the capsules of Student Self-Government, whose purpose is to develop self-reliance. We managed to survive everything, and were pronounced ready for the C II ward. Here, the operations begun in the last ward were continued. We had expected to view those in the D I ward under the baby show treat- ment, so it was with some chagrin we discovered we were to have a Sophomore-Junior Reception. But upon thinking about it we regarded it more favorably. The reception was a great success. Several other pleasant things occurred such as, fine rallies after finer football games, Thanksgiving and Christmas plays, and the Christmas vacation. Returning from the vacation we took our examinations, which most of us survived, and were ready for the B I ward. Here at last we feel we are receiving the respect due to us. We can look back, with our heads slightly in the air, on those first two years while we view with expectation those last two years. Meanwhile we are re- ceived into the Junior societies and enjoy more freedom than was hitherto allowed us. We feel that our heads are assuming the correct shape for intelligence. I Therefore we beg the world to be patient a little longer, for it may have us in less than two years. DOROTHY E. SMITH, '19. 65 . X B I CLASS Allbery, Fred ....... Andreas, Margaret ....

Their spirits were greatly out of harmony with the beautiful fall morning, for, by reason of their East High friends' taunts during the summer vacation, they knew they were about to enter upon their term of Flathood servitude. As they grew accustomed to and were caught up in the swirl of school life, their timidity left them, and they became oblivious of the banter of their intellectually superior companions. After a time this new class learned that the Auditorium was not to be found in the basement, and that the elevator had been installed for the use of girl pupils and the faculty only. But do not think that these Flats were taught the ropes by the loving upper classmen. Stern Experience was their austere in- structor, though her severity was at times avoided by words of counsel from teachers who probably had children of their own. And so the freshman year was passed-a year of innocent, appealing, wistful faces gradually being transformed to the expressions of boys and girls who know the meaning of school spirit, East High pep, and second schedule, and, who consider themselves an essential part of that great ma- chine of which Mr. Lothman is the engineer, and whose oilers, mechanics, and firemen are the faculty. A summer full of pleasant experiences passed, and then the build- ing was again permeated by the class of '19. This time they were not harum-scarum, short-dressed and knickerbockered children, but young ladies and gentlemen, who strolled languidly, but, nevertheless, directly to classes, ridiculing or scoffing at those who constituted the latest influx into the building. Their manner and actions were quite suited to the title Sophomore But more important things now commenced to occupy the attention of the class. Student government loomed up, stronger, more firmly rooted and much the better from use. Also there was a new schedule to become acquainted with, and, furthermore, it contained a ninth hour which, in due course of time, all learned to consider and respect. Towards the end of the season military training was brought before them and wel- comed in a manner typical of the enthusiasm of East High boys and girls. I cannot refrain from stating that perhaps the ones who received it with the greatest enthusiasm were the Sophomores. The members of this class are to be found in all the activities of the school, some entering athletics, others joining clubs or the band, but all spreading through the school and representing their class as they spread. Thus the class of June, 1919, has finally pervaded the organization of the East High machine, so that it has become an important and necessary part in its motion.

As we meekly entered the building our sense of direction failed us. We were often misdirected ere we reached the point proposed, the Auditorium, where we have since then seen and heard so many noteworthy things. Everyone made fun of our speedy ways fthough now the teachers say we're slowl, and we were laughed and jeered at. Flatlets was our nicknameg Lowly was our station, Lucky was the little one Who could escape this mortiflcation. Time flies quickly, so soon we passed on and were Freshmen. Now we could be more free and less timid in our manner, although the lofty Seniors said we were but flats instead of flatlets. The first day of the new term we ran up to the Auditorium to see the poor little begin- ners. We saw a small girl standing at the door seemingly too timid to enter, so We said, Hello, little flatlet. Alas! she turned, a Junior! We rushed down-stairs humiliated. This year things were becoming more diflicult, and our faults were not excused so readily. We were no longer the babies. Now we have become mighty Sophomores. Some say wise fools, but that is not the case. One has to know a great deal before one can tackle Caesar and his strange language, and geometry, made of the queer- est figures we've ever seen. As yet our power has not been recognized, but how can such a thing be expected in just a year? We hope that the seeds of knowledge, which our teachers are endeavoring to plant very deep, will blossom into beautiful flowers of wisdom in June, 1917. DOROTHY BLAcKwooD, '20.

A FREE RIDE As you all very Well know, it is not a cause for feeling insulted when on a long country road, a person in a passing vehicle offers you a ride. In the city where there are so many means of travel, such an offer from a stranger would almost justify calling a policeman. This summer some of my friends went camping. Two of them came in from camp to church on Sunday morning. After the service, as they waited impatiently for the car,-for cars in the country are far from re- liable,-a passing auto stopped before them. Don't you want a ride ? asked the man of the front seat. Thank you, sir, I think the car will soon be here now, replied one of the girls. Oh, come on, get in, the motorman is eating his lunch. Well, then, I guess we will. We're hungry. So they climbed in and had a very pleasant ride. When they reached their destination they alighted and profusely thanked the driver for his kindness. As they turned to leave he said, Er,-I beg your pardon, but you have not paid your fare. This is a jitneyf' ANONYMOUS. 80 l!'iu fb L fu 0? 99 1 Q D II 0112155 Eisatnrg F course, ours is the best class that ever entered East High, and if we keep on as we have started, as I have no doubt we will, it will be the best that ever graduated from East! There are ever so many things I might cite to prove this. In the first place, I am sure that no one in the class took longer than a week to locate the lunch room and the Auditorium. That in itself is wonderfulg but think of learning within two weeks how the drinking fountains are operated, and that the odd- looking wooden affairs in the halls are not umbrella holders, but recep- tacles for waste paper! As soon as we learned that Latin verbs cannot be declined, nor nouns conjugated, life began to go more smoothly. We always have been ex- ceptional in the matter of being lost. It is an indubitable fact that not over ninety per cent of the class ever were lost more than twice. Time passed quickly after the first few weeks of ultra-flatismf' We soon began to feel ourselves very important units in East High School life, although some of the girls were both disappointed and surprised to find that their anxious puzzling over the question whether to join the Athenxum, Laurean, or Friendship Club was all wasted time. It is in- deed sad, after you have finally decided on the Athenwum, to discover that you hare to join the Friendship Club. As soon as the football season began, we all bought East High Songs and stayed up nights conning over its contents, and learning the cheers, and then turned out full force at our first game. By the time examinations came, we knew everything, and although the poor teachers tried their hardest, they couldn't teach us a thing! Sad to relate, a few of our number failed in anywhere from one to four sub- jects, but we optimistically argued, after an hour or so of gloom, that a class in which every member passed in everything would be entirely too monotonous. So we patted the failures on the back, and thanked them for their self-sacrifice for the class. Now we are no longer flats, but D IFS!! We understand and forgive the Sophomore's amusement at us, for now we have some little flats to amuse us. Our pleasure at their expense is tempered with pity, however, as we look back and remember our experiences when we were as callow and innocent as they are. Soon we shall be C I's. Until then, adieu!

We find at this great school something very different from what we have known in the grammar school, that is, Student Self-Government. We are not yet quite used to it, and I sincerely hope that our teachers will excuse a little disorder in the study TOOIHS. We enjoy our leisure time in the lunch room very much. Mr. Lothman predicts a great future for us, and on looking over the class I feel that he will not be disappointed. Our teachers have borne much from us thus far, and have been very good to us. We hope to show them that we are not afraid of work. As for sports, I think we have some good material. We enjoyed the skating rally exceedingly, and hope in our later years to bring about many of the same kind, not only for skating, but for all the sports. We do like to be called Freshmen instead of Flats, but as Flats is the usual title, I suppose we shall endure it. Aldrich, Mildred .....

The admittance to the society depends on scholarship and somewhat upon popularity. The meetings are devoted to the arts, dramatics, music and debating, with occasional social activities. Probably the greatest event during the year is the annual foot- ball spread. The society is one of the oldest organizations of the school, and many girls have enjoyed the privilege of membership.

Its membership was limited to the Sophomore and Junior classes, while its purpose was to give boys of this school some adequate training in debating and parliamentary aw. The first year of the Lincoln Club was so successful as to give it a prominent place among the school literary organizations. During 1916-17 great progress was made, the membership list swelling to over forty. The four debaters on the East-West-Technical debate were members of the Lincoln Club. The most successful banquet in the history of the club occurred Thursday, January 28, at the Statler. Although the new term has not very far progressed, a large measure of success, coupled with a high standard of club efficiency, seems bound to result under the presidency of Forrester Clements, who has been chosen for the term.

It was with this high aim that the High School Friendship Clubs of Cleveland started on their way rejoicing. That was 'Way back in January, 1916, and, lo! We are still rejoicing. East High has had, from the first, the most enthusiastic, as well as the largest club in the council, and has shown itself leader in activities. In the first place-the Friendship Club is the only club in the school that requires no special talent from the applicants for membership. One does not need a voice, high standings in class room work, nor an artistic soul. All that is required is a Willingness to help. During the school year of 1916-17, the East High Friendship Club has been humping itself. First, the usual Thanksgiving collection was taken up under the auspices of the Club with the result that ninety dol- alrs, besides several baskets of provisions, were sent to the Wade Nursery-- the largest Thanksgiving offering ever donated by East High School. At Christmas-time the club took toys to the Rosedale home, candy to the Dor- cas home, and made lifty rag dolls for the associated charities. After Christmas, Rainbow cottage was presented with forty large squares of col- ored cardboard, covered with pictures, to serve as scrapbooks for the chil- dren Who are not able to turn pages. Then, too, great quantities of paper dolls were given to the same institution. But all the time We have been working, there have been many interesting and helpful meetings, and sev- eral dinners at the Y. W. C. A., with a good after-dinnner speaker for the entire Friendship Club Council, and three afternoon meetings. There is to be an annual banquet in June. Have we done the school proud ? We think so!

This year the painting and craft classes were discontinued, and a social or literary meeting held the first Tuesday in each month. Some meetings vseie held at the Museum of Art, where lectures on ai moi and tapestry were given by Mrs. Gibson. In February an informal reception to the new members was given HELEN DAUBER, '17 .

HE High Y Club, organized in 1913, is a boys' club, composed of groups from the various East Side high schools. The schools rep- resented are East, Shaw, Glenville, Heights, Central and East Tech. Since the organization of the club, East has held the enviable record of supplying almost double as many members as any other school. The meetings this season have, as usual, been held at the East End Y. M. C. A. at 6:00 o'clock every Thursday evening, when all assemble for supper. It should also be remarked that girls from each school alternate each week in serving the dinner, which is certainly an added inducement to membership. This may be one reason why East has such a large roll. After the eats a speaker of local prominence, and often of nation-Wide fame, entertains the club with an address. Then the boys of each school separate into classes to discuss various questions of every-day life. Jules Eschner, a former East High boy, sup- planted Mr. Yocum, in charge of the East group. Last year a member of the East High Y Club was president of the entire High Y Club at the East End Y. M. C. A. This year, East sup- plied the secretaries of the organization, Ilsley Bradley holding that office the first term, and John Vorpe the second. The club took up, with great zeal, the Come Clean Campaign, which met with unlooked-for success in all the schools in the city. A dance, given by the club in early January, was pronounced by all to be the real thing. A party was also given by the boys in early May. One of the best things that the High Y Club did this season was the founding of a newspaper, which contained the doings of all the six high schools represented. An editor and business manager from each school composed the board of this paper, called the High Y Echo. Contrary to the current impression, the High Y Club is not limited to Cleveland, but is established all over the United States, and the fact that it is taken up so enthusiastically by the boys, is evidence in itself of the popularity of the club. JOHN VORPE. 111 High Svrhnnl Glahvta ILITARY training, for the pupils of Cleveland high schools, has, in one form or another, been under consideration for some time. In his annual report for 1915, Superintendent Frederick recom- mended it strongly. Others of the board of education favored it, and the press of the city spoke well of it. In fact, the idea of its universal adop- tion in high school has been discussed and recommended throughout the entire country. Recognition of the value of military training and the re- alization that existing conditions must be immediately alleviated, caused the school board to take action. As the result the present form of military drill, patterned after that found so valuable in the high schools of Wyo- ming, was instituted in the Cleveland schools. The resolutions that were adopted are as follows : That the Wyoming plan of military training be hereby added to the list of elective subjects in the high school curriculum, Students taking the military training course shall be allowed one- fourth of one credit toward graduation for completion of each year there- of in a manner satisfactory to the superintendent of schools, Hours for holding classes shall be determined by the superintendent of schools, Such hours, Whether during or before or after the present academic hours, shall be considered school class hours, Any physically fit male student 14 years of age or over may elect the study of military artg Having once elected this study and passed the physical examination, no pupil may drop the subject during the semester Without the approval of the superintendent of schoolsg No pupil shall be admitted to a class in military art except on written application signed by parent or guardiang Conduct of the Work in military art shall conform to the provisions of General Orders No. 48, war department, 1916. Considering the inadequacy of our gymnasium through lack of space. limited apparatus, and the awkwardness of its situation, we of East should rejoice in this plan. Physical culture, so often thought tedious, is re- placed by this scheme, with an interesting game-conducive to well set up bodies and alert minds. This game undoubtedly places all the boys on a more equal basis in regard to physical activities, yet those sports, which have been so widely enjoyed in this school, need not necessarily be done away with. On the contrary, such a combination will serve rather to en- hance them. Each cadet is to be put through a systematized course of training. With added proficiency each year there will result a product of immense value to the nation in time of possible need, and the cadets will have in- creased store of health and knowledge. In first aid and other preparedness work, for which they are fitted, the girls are expected to take an active interest. Yet, in establishing this, the board proposed nothing compulsory. The taking of the military course is purely optional, and, if elected, it can only be taken by consent of the parents or guardian. However, the en- thusiasm with which the movement was started in East shows the popu- larity of this new elective of our curriculum, and we hope to see grow out of it, for many, a new estimate of the value of being a United States citizen.

Why should the spirit of mortal be proud? When the scores are mixed like this? When the best of them all to defeat has bowed? And the vict'ry's only an armistice? When the season ends with a tie, And everyone waits to try, That the next year's success shall be his. Central and West and West Tech, too, Our humble obeisance receive, While to us the others obeisance dog Hence never a bit do we grieve, We sufered defeats, we know, The others, defeat, too, must show, No sting, then, our losses will leave. So gladly we praise the team at East, None better in all the town! We'll sing and toast them at this feast, For the valor the boys have shown, Hurrah! for the team that beat U. S.! Hurrah! for the team's East Tech success! What greater success than our own? Hurrah! for the coach and his team from East! Hurrah! for the managers, too! Hurrah! for the host who spreads this feast! Hurrah! for the Gold and Blue! The season's been glorious, Though not all victorious, What more could we hope to do?

E ,Z rg'-21 X' X S -'QI-I 9 -RRCHINRRD' HEN the season opened, we had seven letter men back in the line- up, viz., Collie, Heller, Luck, Sampliner, Sourbeck, Struggles, and Templeton. With these as nucleus, it appeared that we had the prospect of a championship team. But several things which scored heavily against East's chances of acquiring a championship were overlooked. First, the vacation training camp was not held this year as formerly, and next we had two new coaches. East opened the 1916 football season by playing Lakewood at West Tech field, on September 30. Although Lakewood was highly touted by the Cleveland newspapers and expected to win, East entirely outclassed her and beat Lakewood by the score of 15-0, Durkin and Collie being the point-gatherers. On the following Saturday, October 7, our 'varsity sustained the first defeat of the season at the hands of a school who had beaten us only once before in our history, West High beat us for the second time by the low margin of 9-7. On October 14, East migrated to West Tech's field and met the war- riors of that school. We had an early lead, but by more or less good fort- une and one break in the game, our opponents finally won by the score of 14-6. They intercepted one of our forward passes, which aided them materially in making their first touchdown, and a long run around left end resulted in another touchdown. This defeat practically eliminated us from the Senate Championship race. Durkin, our new lineman, was out of the line, and Metcalf took his place. Our next game was looked forward to with a great deal of interest, both by the two opposing schools and the other Cleveland High Schools. South was a strong contender for the Senate Title, and, having walloped the two schools that beat us, was expected to win. But East, having taken a somewhat prolonged nap, suddenly woke up, and, looking around, saw that people were beginning to think that East High's renowned Football Prestige was no more. So, with a dogged determination to do or die, East went into the game against South. When evening fell, fans saw that East had not died, for the score stood 13-6, in favor of East. Although Hauser, South's famous captain and fullback, did good work in bucking our line, still he did not surpass our small fullback, Doig. Gatozzi, Temple- ton and Sampliner were instrumental in winning the South game. On ac- count of injuries, our audacious little end, Struggles, was out of the South game. At a large rally, with many former associates of East on the plat- form, we prepared for our annual game with Central. Someone remarked that according to an old football tradition, Central conquers us every six years, and that, in 1916, Central was due to win. Accordingly there were plenty of misgivings for the coming game. l2l TEAM E TH On the new city football field, usually called League Park, before 4,000 fans, East and Central clashed. ln the first half, East held the East 55th Street aggregation completely to a standstill. But, the East lads, crippled and in an awful condition, were at a disadvantage. With just forty seconds to play, Civeletto stepped back and dropped a perfect kick over the goal-posts. Central was wild with joy when they went back to 55th Street with 3 points hanging over our 0. This game virtually de- cided the Triangular Championship. Although we had no hopes for either championship left, we did not lose heart, and with that East High never-say-die spirit, Coach Morris started his team going and commenced his final drive on University School. Templeton, Doig and Vitantonio were the luminous stars, but the whole team displayed an unbeatable style of football. University, likewise, exhibited great fighting spirit, but fell before our onslaught to the tune of QOEO. Thus,-for two years in succession East has conquered her rival, With our team still gathering momentum, we again went to West Tech field and swamped Lincoln by the huge score of 65-0. We scored two touch-downs for each of the first three quarters, and having replaced the whole team with substitutes, proceeded to score four more in the fourth. On November 18, on a muddy and slippery field, East played Glenville and pulled the North Siders a little lower in the Senate percentage column by beating them 26-0. As a climax-perhaps the greatest achievement of the season was the overwhelming defeat of the much vaunted Tech eleven, conquerors of the remaining Senate teams. That memorable Saturday of November 25 ar- rived with a cold, biting Wind, accompanied by a thin layer of snow. While 4,000 half-frozen and benumbed spectators looked on, the 1916 Blue and Gold steam-roller concluded its drive by beating East Tech 14-0. The game lacked any plays verging on the spectacular, owing to the zero- like weather. The first half resulted in a punting-duel between Templeton and Blue. Heinie kicked a low and swift ball, while Blue used a high and equally speedy punt. In the third quarter, when East was near her own goal-post, the line showed its strength, when Tech could not gain an inch on three downsg while the fourth resulted in an incomplete pass. Tech used a series of incompleted passes in the fourth quarter, but East finally forced Tech on her three-yard line. When Blue attempted to kick out of danger, an East linesman blocked the punt and fell on the ball for a touch- down. The East backfield did excellent work, while Sampliner certainly showed up Denzer, and last, but not least, Thorpe Struggles deserves a lot of credit for stopping Tech's quarterback, Pike. Although East did not receive a championship title, still we undoubted- ly had a strong team. This fact was brought out by the Cleveland news- papers, when they picked their all-scholastic elevens. The following are the selections of East men made by our four daily papers: Leader Plain Dealer News Press End ........ Struggles Struggles Struggles Struggles Tackle .... - Sourbeck Guard -- - Bailey Sampliner Sampliner Center - - - Sampliner Quarter .... - Templeton Half-back .... Templeton Templeton Struggles was given unanimous choice in all the newspapers, while Sampliner was chosen twice as guard and once as center, and Templeton was chosen twice as half-back and once as quarter-back, besides being chosen the leader of the all-scholastic team. Thorpe Struggles, being an entirely capable football star, was unani- mously elected to lead the 1917 team. With only a few of the 1916 Grid- ders graduating, East entertains the highest hopes that with Mr. Morris still coaching our team, we will put forth an even better team than that of 1916. EDWARD E.

UR poet's words Well express the sentiments of all who had the pleas- ure of attending the banquet given by Mr. Lothman to the Football Team. The honor for which the boys had Worked so hard during the sea- son Was represented by the huge E formed by the tables. The guests included, in addition to the men of the Faculty, Mr. Ed- ward Bushnell, Mr. M. L. Thomsen and Mr. B. D. Quarrie of the Board of Education, Mr. J. A. Eisenhauer, Mr. L. C. Boles and Mr. L. T. Beman. The speeches were unusually good and Mr. Lothman, as toastmaster, introduced each speaker with remarks so apt and Witty that even the most bashful of football stars was stimulated to reply in the same strain. The program was varied by the singing of songs in which members of the football team lauded the Faculty, While a group of Faculty members in turn sang the praises of the team. Mr. Schulte, in a poem truly epic in character, told of the Struggles and Luck of the team, and their well-deserved success. The singing of East High songs by the -entire company closed an even- ing vvhich left but one regret in the hearts of all-that a Whole year must pass before they could again be Mr. Lothman's guests at the Football Banquet. 125 SCHOOL CHAMPIONS Svrninr Flfnnthall I mm ' 4 ,...

Vitantonio scored 9 of his team's 11, by putting 9 out of 10 fouls into the basket, while Doig put in the re- maining Iield goal.

On Feb. 9, East, by playing a defensive game, beat West Tech by 7 points, the score being 16-9. Eaton scored 10 out of his team's 16 points. The game was conspicuous for its slowness and roughness. With plenty of enthusiasm and pep, Central beat East 26-11, on the former's floor. In a closely contested game, East beat South. Since we beat South in football, they were very desirous of beating East, instead they lost- 20-16. On March 2, the East team beat the fast Glenville aggregation to the tune of 20-16. Most of the points on both sides were made on fouls. East, still keeping up her fighting spirit, beat the West Commerce five by the score of 24-19. Paul Willing and Struggles showed a very good brand of basketball. The final game of the season was played at Canton, March 16th. East was beaten by Canton, 34-24. Canton was very hospitable to the East High supporters, which is not always the case, and their hospitality was very much appreciated. East, captained by Halbert Doig, had a fairly successful season, being tied in third place with East Tech in the Senate League. Paul Willing was elected captain of the 1918 team.

The excellent schedule arranged by Mr. Dix, providing six games for each class, was one of the important factors of the league's success. The spirit shown by the fellows who came out for the class teams also helped make the season a success. The race for the championship was very close, the strong senior team being declared the victors. The seniors won five consecutive games, but lost their sixth one to the sophs, who fin- ished second. The champion seniors line up as follows: S. Dolin, R. F.g H. Brown, L. F.g A. Mackin, C.3 Luck, R. G.g F. Englefried, L. G.g Sifling, substitute. The seniors then claimed the inter-scholastic class championship of the city, and as no school disputed this claim, the city class championship rests at East. So, although the varsity could not bring a basketball cham- pionship to East, the class team did. The final standing of the teams were: Played Won Lost Pct.

When candidates were called out for track prac- tice, in the spring, Coach Dotterer found a surprisingly small number of likely looking boys, and most of these raw material. The first meet in which the candidates were able to give an exhibi- tion of their ability was the Indoor Triangular Meet which is always looked on as a practice event. The Blue and Gold never puts forth her whole strength at this affair. Consequently, this season, East landed in last place with twenty-five points. East Tech and Glenville, with forty- seven points each, were tied for the honors. Then came the Interclass Meet. The Seniors who had the largest number of representatives, easily walked away with the meet. The other classes trailed in regular order: Junior, Sophomore, Freshman. In this meet Fred Engelfried annexed the title School Athlete, by amassing a total of seventeen individual points. The first outdoor track and field meet was the Triangular, in which East, Glenville and West participated. In this clash the Blue and Gold gave the first indication of real strength. Although she lost the meet by four points, it was only after Glenville had experienced a fight worthy of her mettle. Captain Hoehn's team led until the last event, when Glen- v'ille's broad jumpers won enough points to compel East to take second place. The big Triangular Meet was the next on the schedule. Into this meet, University sent against East and Central one of the strongest teams seen here in several years. University won, but not without reckoning with her old rival, East High. East finished second, and Central brought up the rear. The Preps broke two records and equaled a third, so it can be easily seen that East was traveling in fast company. The story of the Dual Meet with East Tech is one replete with bad luck. East entered this event with two of her best point winners absent. It was only to be expected, then, that East Tech should pile up a huge score on the royal blue and gold team. This meet was but a repetition of past history. East had the stars to win first places, but not enough entries to take the lesser places. The final and most important event of the season came in the form of the Interscholastic Track and Field Meet. Here among teams repre- senting all the big Cleveland High schools, the team from East 82nd Street made a fair showing. Eldridge Hoehn and Louis Romanelli are to be congratulated upon their success and ability as captain and student manager respectively of the 1916 track team. Stanley Taylor will lead the 1917 team, and Roeder Bell will look after the managerial duties.

HE present age belongs to the trained man and the trained woman. There are so many people of natural ability, of excellent education and unlimited experience, that to forge out a living in so overcharged an atmosphere demands that every educational opportunity be eagerly grasped. In the mad pursuit of today, time, or the lack of it, is the cry. Lit- tle of the valuable article will, therefore, be spent on a person of general education, When, by reaching past him, an individual of special training can be secured. The latter type stands out among the ever increasing multitude of people who are well educated in a general way. His chance to meet favorable opportunities is doubled, for the mart is glutted and the employer has but to pick the best. A person is not judged today by the opportunities that may, or may not, have been available, but by the knowledge and experience that he has actually acquired, and the size of the salary that he receives is regulated by the number of people who can do the same Work. ' On the completion of your high school studies you will have secured an excellent foundation for a successful career, but only the foundation. If you would succeed, analyze your own character, study your traits, and decide upon that vocation for which you think you are best fitted and which will bring to you the greatest enjoyment in life. Then prepare yourself diligently until you have gained the right to be called the trained man or the trained woman. Above all, start now! Emerson says the great question is not, 'What Am I? but, 'In What Direction Am I going?' What are We doing during spare time better to prepare ourselves for next year? 7 7 f?41lnlWn9 Q ' Y 5,3 Z 6 Q 2 1 3 g l 4 ' 4 O 143 SOCIETIES NYONE affiliated with the present East High cannot help noticing the large number of clubs and societies. Hardly a day of the week passes without a meeting of one of them. Organizations of widely varied natures have been instituted, such as literary and debating clubs, distinct class formations, and those of musical, artistic, and social interest. If the goodly number of societies chartered in East has not reached the enrollment of the pupils, it has at least attained a point where for each possible interest there is a company of individuals, banded to- gether in some respect, and recognized as the champions of that cause. Formerly when there were fewer of these clubs in the school, there was opportunity for the formation of undemocratic cliques with their usual attendant evils. If the personal element becomes the dominating factor in a so- ciety the organizations would be better disbanded. However, admittance to these companies is now so governed that in many cases it no longer becomes merely a matter of personal favoritism as to who may enter their sanctuaries. Rather, we are glad to say, the tyro is placed strictly on a basis of qualification. Thus those who, though well fit, were perhaps un- reasonably barred, are at par with others. It has been intimated sometimes that the individual of studious per- sonality is, in high school life, but little more than what a non-fraternity man is said to be at some colleges, a social outcast. But with so large and varied a set of school activities no one can feel that he has not oppor- tunities for the exercise of his ability. JUST A MINUTE 'HIS is a time of efliciencyg of the card index. We live according to a schedule, we go to bed when the clock strikes, we rise when the alarm rings 5 we glance at the news between bites, we work a cer- tain number of hours, and, as a rule, we spend a period of each day at our individual enjoyments, probably the movies, or reading. But, aside from the amusement which we all need, is the reading that we do entirely in- tended forimmediate pleasure, or does it propose some future usefulness? Of the entire length of the average life-time, the first fifth, or the group of years spent before graduating from high school, is the most impression- able. It is, therefore, to the interest of boys and girls who are about to face the existing conditions of life, to peruse books, magazines, and daily papers, not merely for recreation, but with a thought of future advan- tage. Furthermore, have we space in our daily time-table for real, serious, independent thought? It is a principle of today's efliciency to reduce the duration of each task. The condition of greatest speed with accuracy is to be desired, but how rarely does there come into our daily scheme a few minutes of clear, individual thinking? We say we have not time for this, that, and the other, but somehow we always find a minute to gossip, criti- cize, or knock. If the time spent thus each day could be gathered together and were available for some active original thought, how much sooner we would approach the true meaning of intellectual education! Before a fellow acquires the habit of smoking, he does not like to smokey he just likes the idea. 144 A MAN IOGENES walked the streets of Athens at midday, carrying a lighted lantern, saying, I seek a man. The legend does not say that he found one. On another occasion he exclaimed in the market-place, Hear me, ye men l and, as a crowd rushed up to him, he scornfully waved it back, saying, I called for men, not for pigmiesf' Today the world is seeking men as never before. No matter how severe a business depression prevails, no matter how many men are out of employment, there is hardly a business establishment of high order which has not over its entrance door the advertisement, Wanted-MEN. Last year the Cleveland Board of Education spent over three million dollars in maintaining public schools in an eiort to answer this call. 'Tis a good, round sum. This money was spent, not on charitable or philanthropic grounds, it was done purely on business principles. The city and state expect this huge investment to pay rich dividends in an improved quality of citizenship-in real MEN. East High is earnestly endeavoring to furnish this higher quality of citizenship and to supply this demand for men-the term man includ- ing, of course, both sexes. I believe much has been accomplished in this endeavor, but much remains to be done. Mistakes are made. So long as men are fallible, every school will make them-especially schools that abandon paths worn deep by following customs and legend, and that pio- neer in new territory in their endeavor to realize higher and nobler ideals. When failures are but stepping-stones to success, when we rise by the things that are under our feet -and that is what East High aims to do- failures have served a good purpose. The worthy product of school work results from the harmonious combination of three factors-teacher, pupil, parent. It is a mathematical law that if one factor is zero, the product is zero. Every factor must be significant and make itself potent in the grand result. Knowing that the work we are doing is only a beginning, that it will show a steady and healthy growth, and that East High will more and more become a power for good in the community it serves, let us push forward, cultivating to richer fruitage the Iields we have occupied, and let us courageously and hopefully seek the greater good that may lie hidden in the largely unknown regions surrounding us. God, give us men. A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands: Men whom the lust of office does not killg Men whom the spoils of office cannot buyg Men who possess opinions and a will, Men who have honor-men who will not lie, Men who can stand before a demagogue And scorn his treacherous flatterings without winkingg Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. DANIEL W. LOTHMAN. f ' , , NRM fo . ,wgjfl 'QD JI 1, X Q-jxk 145 THE COME CLEAN CAMPAIGN HE Come Clean Campaignj' which was started in East shortly after Christmas, speaks for itself, but it is well for others to say something, at least, about so worthy a movement. The interest that was shown in it and the appreciation of its value go to show the atti- tude which East holds toward such moral principles. If East is not marked by clean speech, clean sports, clean habits, it is our duty now to make it so. We believe that a long step toward the accomplishment of such an aim would be the adoption of an athletic creed like the following: AN ATHLETIC CREED IAFFILIATED HIGH SCHOOL CLUBS OF GREATER CINCINNATIII We believe in ATHLETICS. We believe the entire school should loyally support the teams. We are opposed to unfairness and crookedness on the athletic field and we believe that courtesy and gentlemanly conduct should mark all inter-school sports. We believe it is better to lose a game honestly than to win dishonestly. We believe that the fellows who start a rough house after a game, or who cause bad feeling during a game, harm their own team and bring discredit upon their own school. After all, we think the big things in athletics are the development of health, quick thinking, self-control and true sportsmanship. Yours for BETTER and CLEANER athletics. ABSENCE BSEN CE may, at first, seem a topic hardly worthy of considerationg but, indeed, it demands our strictest attention. Mr. Lothman, who, above all others, is continually striving for our good, has seen fit to characterize absence from school as a most important factor in the schol- arship of the school. With a View to elevating scholarship a movement was started by Mr. Lothman, through the teachers, for the express pur- pose of lessening the general percentage of absence. Undue stress has not been laid upon this matter, but it has gradually been brought to attention until now splendid results are showing, and a yet higher standard of scholarship is inevitable. There is a class of pupils who seem to consider the matter of frequent absence from school a thing of no consequence, but it takes only an ordinary observer to notice that the majority belonging to this rank seldom deem it expedient to complete the regular course in the ordinary time. They have all their life ahead of them, they seem to thinkg and so they have, but few among them would consider the mere completion of a high school course a satisfactory life vocation. Man was placed upon this earth to live by the sweat of his brow, and not forever upon the paternal indulgence. If, then, pupils would but re- alize that sooner or later responsibility will rest on their own shoulders, less time would be spent in the manufacture of plausible excuses. 146 EFFICIENCY? RE we becoming too eflicient? Have we over-methodized ourselves? Have We developed systems too exacting for ability? Perhaps not. But are people as much given to the valuing of fine ideals as in years past? These are questions well worth pondering. In our modern era of efficiency We may not have the time to read this, for in the pell-mell race of greed, time is thought of merely in its capacity to earn dollars, or in its ability to form automatic machines of human minds for the making of more money. Time is seldom used to live, really live, with an attending growth in character and soul. In the present we have not a second to spare from our petty worries and trials for an enno- bling thought. Many kind little deeds are left undone because We can so easily persuade our obedient brains that We have not the time for such things. Can anyone have cares, anxieties, burdens any heavier to bear than those borne by Lincoln? A Titan, he held the Nation on his shoulders, yet how numberless were his acts of love and kindness. Not an applicant but received attention, mothers' pleas for sons were heard, even those with axes to grind gained entrance 5 yet how great Was his efficiency. Does that of today compare with his? ..Ti- INDOOR SPORTS HERE is one very profitable and eventually enjoyable indoor game which may be played by anyone attending high school. Any num- ber of players may participate, the main condition of the game being that during its progress each player must be isolated. You might call this a game of solitaire except that after once playing your hand, the results are compared with those of others. The best time to play is after supper, as with most indoor games. Obtain for each player a separate room in which are placed school text- books and Writing material as though for night-work studying. When all is prepared each player enters his room and closes the door, then sitting down at a table with a good lamp nearby he proceeds to study his next day's lessons. Whoever plays this game square Wins. ROBERT MooRE, '17. l47 ,,..,,t ,, BUSINESS MANAGER ART EDITOR R ca 5 A Q Q on Q E H Lf: H as W U 'J na m rn 52 Q' R 'Q I?-' LITERARY EDITOR p,w4,m. . , 'R M?

Some very interest- ing and successful experiments have been made, and I'm sure you'd be surprised to hear the methods taken to accomplish the wonderful re- sults. His eyes were gleaming, and he seemed entirely absorbed in the seriousness of his subject. I'll wager, he continued, that I can make you come down stairs and meet me here in the lobby between four and five in the morning. We were living at a summer hotel at the time. If you're addressing me, said I, quite calmly, I can assure you, that you'll never get me to come down here between four and five in the morning. My confidence received its first shock when I happened to notice the intense earnestness of his expression. Could he really think that he had the power to bring me down stairs at such an unearthly hour? The idea was preposterous! I felt myself growing a bit indignant at the apparent conceit of the youth. I mean what I say, he said, as if divining my thoughts. I'll make you come down here between four and five in the morning. You can't do it, was my reply, but I realized that I was now feign- ing the confidence which I formerly possessed. It's a bet, he said, and I thought he jumped at it. A necktie against a box of candy. What made him so sure? I lived to learn. When he bade me good night, I noticed a malicious twinkle in his eyes, but I attributed it to his youthful vanity. When I reached my room for the purpose of retiring for the night, I became conscious of vague wonderings and doubts. Before I had had little faith in his claim of occult power, but now I began to question my own boasting. I remembered that I had heard a great deal about the power of mental concentration. Maybe his mind was enough stronger than mine to compel me to go down stairs quite against my will. The very possibility dazed me. Particularly I reasoned to myself, would I be more susceptible to telepathic influence when asleep or in a semi-conscious state? I decided that between four and five I must not sleep, but endeavor to counteract the efforts of the other mind. My slumber upon that mem- orable night was not of the soundest. At frequent intervals I turned on the light and looked at my watch to see if the fatal hour of four was ap- proaching. At last the hour passed, but I must confess my mind worked strenuously. It was one of the most exciting hours that I have ever spent. When I heard the stroke of five I felt my heart leap. I was victorious! I had not gone down stairs between four and five in the morning. The next morning I went down to breakfast in a most triumphant frame of mind. I was a bit surprised to find when my friend met me at the door that he also wore a pleased expression. You'Ve lost your bet, he said. You can't trick me into believing that, I answered. 'Tm perfectly sure I did not come down here between four and five. You certainly did, he criedg and he whisked me upstairs and stood me in front of my room door. On one side of the door frame was a piece of card-board bearing the figure 4. O nthe other side was a piece of card-board bearing the figure 5. I had come down stairs between four and five, in the morning! The next day the student of metaphysics received his necktie. Need- less to say, I enjoyed the candy. MARGARET JOSEPH, '17. 153 THE MALE GOSSIP CA COMMON SPECIMEN ABOUT WHICH LITTLE is SAID, CC ELL, if you do insist I will sit down and have a smoke. Thanks! What do you think about college this year? ...... Same as ever? That's where we disagree, I'm telling you. The same! Why, man!! Haven't we a new coach for one thing, who has turned all the athletic committee into different men? Old man Brown used to be a good old scout, but now since that new fellow set foot in town he's become a regular grouch. He used to excuse us fellows from some work every time we won a game, and now he's got it into his head that the football men are no better than the ordinary students. Then the new coach went and canned Smith from the team and put that little brat in his place, and the only thing he had against Smith was that little excursion up to the city. Smith gave up sports altogether. Say! did you notice the dame he had with him at the game? ........ You're not interested in women? Quit your kidding, you can't feed me on any of that bunk. Gee! she wears classy clothes and is a swell dancer, too, so Smith says. She don't ask those fool questions most girls do about games. She's a regular sport! ...... You have a lot of studying to do? Say, man, you're a fool to settle down so. No one thinks any more of you for cramming. You know some of the fellows were saying the other night that you were getting to be a mighty slow chap, since you started to be pals with Fisher. ...... Fisher may be a regular guy, but the others don't like him, and it pays to keep on good terms with the favorite fellow. ------You say the kid's clever? Well, being clever isn't everything in this world. So you are going to have a Greek exam? ...... I didn? insinuate a make-up. Since when did you start out for a scholarship? What's the use, old scout? Those prigs Bradley and Burns have those scholarships cinched. Do you know they say Burns's staying in school depends upon his getting a financial boost this way? I'd like to see you beat Bradley to it. He has acquired such an exalted opinion of Mr. S. T. Bradley since that math prof's daughter took him to that sorority dance. ...... I should say not. That isn't sour grapes. ........ I remember I did ask her to the Delta Alpha dance, but I took her as a last resort because Miss Rose was out of town. She would have gone with me too if she hadn't had a previous engagement. ...... You must study now as you're going out tonight? Give the study a rest and walk over to the gym to see the basket ball practice. ...... Well, go to it, old man, but remember if you get brain fever, I'm not to blame. Well, I guess I'll be a-stepping. You don't seem very sociable. I hope you'll be better natured when I come again. Thanks for the to- bacco. So long! Lois VAN RAALTE, '17. SCHOOL! SCHOOL! SCHOOL! Oh, why do we have to go to school, And study so hard every day? It's killing me really! It's killing me fastg Already my hair has turned gray. I'd much rather sleep, and I'd much rather eat Or go to a dance or a show. But I might as well wish the sun wouldn't rise Or wish that the wind wouldn't blow. MARY JANES, '19, l54 THE BLACK HAND CC UT 33,000 in small bills under the old bridge by Saturday night or we will blow up your house. THE BLACK HAND. This was the terrifying command that Mrs. Louis Trevor, wife of the famous glue king, read one dismal Saturday afternoon. The note which she had found on her dining-room table was evidently written in a disguised hand, for the characters were large and awkward. Mrs. Trevor turned pale and would have fallen had she not grasped the edge of the table. Trembling, she recalled what she had read in the papers. Black Hand again active, they had said. Just then her small son Louis Jr. came into the room. With a great effort Mrs. Trevor re- covered her self-composure before the child had noticed her fright. At all costs he must know nothing about Black Hand societies and such evils. Would you like some bread and jam ? she asked him, seeking some means of keeping him busy so that she might have time to think. Sure, came the ready response. Mrs. Trevor summoned a servant and Louis Jr. was soon busy with his bread. She could hardly wait until her husband came home. When at length he arrived she was so upset that she could only hold out the note to him and weakly gasp, Read. What shall we do? she asked as soon as he had read it. Do '? he echoed, Uwhy, inform the police, that's all. Oh, no! Don't you suppose they would find out and then carry out their threat? Give them the money a hundred times sooner. They might kill Louis. Now don't you fret, her husband replied, these people are so afraid of the police that they'd sooner jump in the river than even be caught with a stick of dynamitef' But, supposing they really mean it? said his wife, beginning to weaken. No supposing to it, he snorted and went to the telephone. He called up the detective department and soon made known the facts. An hour later the bell rang and two tall, broad-shouldered, plain clothes men were shown in. Mr. Trevor handed them the note and the two men drew off to one side and scanned it eagerly. Looks like some of Tony Dorigo's work, said one. Yes, either his or one of his men's, the other added. Well, we'll see to this at once, said the first, turning to Mr. Trevor, in the meantime you'd better hire a man to watch your premises and also, you'd better watch your young son-Tony is experienced in kidnaping, you know. At this last statement Mrs. Trevor gasped and rushed upstairs to her son's room. When she saw him peacefully sleeping she breathed a sigh of relief. That night she slept but little. Every little while she would tiptoe into her son's room to make sure that he had not been kidnaped. The next day she would not allow Louis Jr. to go to Sunday school. She would not even permit him to go out into the back yard. Her hus- band, though he laughed at her fears, nevertheless did not side with his son. He, too, was troubled, but was too proud to admit it. On Monday Mrs. Trevor reluctantly allowed Louis Jr. to play in the back yard with James Dover, a boy of about his own age. The two were soon chasing each other up and down the yard. Suddenly Mrs. Trevor, who stood at a window watching them, was startled when she heard her son exclaim, Let's play Black Hand, you can write the letter this time. VINCENT S. FRANKEL, Jan., 1917. 155 Rims CC AGS , yes, that was his name, and he was born in the slums of Quebec. Rags was not a full-blooded dog, but a half-bull terrier, the fighting kind so much feared by other dogs. From birth Rags had roamed the slums of the city with no one to take care of him. His lunch counters consisted of garbage pails back of the houses and saloons. Such was Rags's life until one night in December. While roaming through the yard in the rear of the Annex restaurant, he sniffed tracks in the deep snow. Following the tracks he soon came upon a dark heap in a corner of the yard. There was a moment more of excited snifling, and then such a howl as had never before been heard rent the air. Windows in the apartments above the restaurant were thrown up, and one man, dressing hastily, appeared in the yard, shouting at the dog and threatening him with a broom handle. Rags, however, was not afraid and went boldly up to the man. The club was about to come down on the dog's head, but something in the way Rags whined and tugged at his coat made the angry man pause. Looking out into the snow-covered yard he perceived the dark heap, which proved to be a young man in an unconscious condition. The wounded man was carried into the house, a doctor summoned, and soon his story was learned. He had been lured into the yard by two men who had beaten him and taken his money. After Walters, for that he said was his name, had told his story, his rescuer gave him an account of how he had been saved. Walters looked at Rags. You sure have saved my life, he said. If it hadn't been for you, I'd a' frozen, sure. How'd you like to go home with me ? So for the first time in his year and a half of life Rags had a home to sleep in. Rags and his master became very much attached to each other, and all went well for some months. John Walters was a sergeant in the 245th Quebec infantry, and one night he brought home news that they had received orders to prepare to leave. Rags apparently understood. He became disconsolate. How could he live without his master? He be- came sullen and ate little or nothing. But one day Walters brought home good news. Rags was under the kitchen table and heard him say to his wife, We leave next Thursday, and I got permission today to take Rags as mascot for the 245th Quebec. You should have seen Rags then! Thursday came, and with sad farewells the 245th left with Rags as mascot. Most of the soldiers were good to Rags, and he began to enjoy his new life. He saw the sieges of Nancy and Rheims, and many other great battles. The roar of the cannon soon became music to his ears. Then came Verdun, that terrible battleground. Rags was ever with his master, watching him during the fight, sleeping at his side, when op- portunity came for sleep. One night there came the order to charge, and charge they did. Rags lost his master in the confusion and could not find him. The second trench was won, and the soldiers were counting the miss- ing. Sergeant Walters was one. Rags was also missing. Morning disclosed John Walters, dead, upon the strip between the trenches, no man's land. By his side was Rags. All efforts to bring the dog back into the trenches failed, and shortly before noon a stray bullet pierced his head. Rags lay dead by the side of the master he so dearly loved. EDWIN JOSEPH, '17. 156 NIAGARA FALLS AST summer came my opportunity to visit Niagara Falls. I had read and listened to many descriptions of this wonderful spectacle, and it had become the dearest wish of my heart to feast my eyes upon its grandeur and beauty. Only one who has made the trip can appreciate my feelings during the ride from Buffalo. At each of the numerous curves in the road my expectancy was aroused. Was I not soon to hear the roar of the giant of waters? Was not a glimpse of the pictured beauty soon to appear? The ride of an hour, more or less, seemed endless, but at last we took the car for the great gorge route. Then my expectations began rap- idly to be realized. We swung out from behind the foliage of a park to see on the high hills opposite us the woods of Canada. Directly ahead stretched the long international bridge, teeming with the passing tourists, while gradually on all sides there opened out a wider panorama. The unforgettable roar increased in volume, and as we proceeded farther toward the other shore, little by little the heart of the picture was unveiled. Everyone was silent, perhaps some were dazed, but I distinctly re- member that the feeling with which I had expected to be impressed was not experienced. I was almost disappointed, but later I realized the de- lusion that had been wrought within my mind. From former accounts I had thought to be awed, overwhelmed, rather, it was the incomparable beauty and grandeur of Nature's masterpiece which struck me. Later, perhaps, I was awed by the proximity to the roaring waters, but such a feeling might also be experienced upon scrutinizing a painting at close hand, its better qualities not being revealed at such a distance. I know now, as does anyone who has visited the Falls, that there is no description of it, and that there can be none, for the reason that in Nature there is nothing with which to compare it.

BOB MOORE 158 A.- QWIF A MA A-fefeeeasusi THE FAMILY WASHING WAS the family, my clothing the washing, and I did the scrubbing. The reason for my so unusual activity in a cleanliness campaign was the fact that my pants, as trousers are called in deck vernacular, were becoming so stiff that I could not stand them, or rather they were so stiff that they stood around me. It is a fact that I left them standing at the head of my bunk when I turned in, and as I slept in the upper one I had merely to drop into my patient pants in the morning to clothe myself. The other fellows were complaining, too, because of the added amount of soogeeing, or scrubbing, caused by my attire. You could always plainly see the places where my clothing came in contact with the white paint of the cabins. Iron ore and coal dust in generous quantities mingled in dirty machine-oil composed the solution in which my pants were literally steeped. I was afraid to strike a match on them and was in constant fear of being a victim of spontaneous combustion, but I hated to break my record for it was beyond my remembrance when my pants had been washed before. I had to do it, though, for they threatened to tow me astern on a heaving line. So, one night after all the other deckaroons were snoring peacefully and forcefully I gathered all my sweetly perfumed garments tenderly in my arms and stole cautiously into the windlass-room where the others so cruelly boiled their unfeeling habiliments. I wept bitter tears when I was forced to beat my poor pants with a stick in order to persuade them enter the bucket. To make it as easy for them as I could I put in two cakes of soap and then it almost broke my heart to turn on the steam. I could not stand to watch their agony, and so crept back to my bunk for sleepless hours. Finally I relieved them and my own feelings by giving them a cold bath, and then hanging them dripping on a hand- rail to dry. At last I could sleep. Clangety-clang rang the breakfast-bell, and I dropped over the side of my bunk as usual, then ran to wash up. But wait! there was some- thing missingg where were my pants? they must have fallen over. I ran to see, but no, they were not there! Then I remembered and rushed to get them. They were bone-dry, but, oh, how strange they felt! how dead! I drew them on nevertheless, and in the hurry for the mess-room did not notice how tight they were around the waist, or if I did I thought merely that I was growing stout. I started down the deck running and buttoning my jumper at the same time. What are they all laughing at ? I thought to myself when I saw the fellows, and then I noticed them looking at me and at my legs. I looked down myself and beheld my beloved pants halfway to my knees and fitting like a pair of tights. When I went home I asked my mother how to wash a pair of wool pants. I. M. BATTY, '99. 159 MY GREATEST SURPRISE AST summer I worked at one of the branch libraries here in Cleve- land. To the north and west of this library is one of the poorest parts of the city. It was in this district that the incident which I shall relate took place. On one of the hottest of days last summer a little girl of seven years came up to me with a registration card which she had taken home to have signed by either her father or her mother. As it is important that the parents know that the children are taking books, we are very par- ticular as to who has signed the registration card. I looked at the card the little girl handed me, and there on the line for the signature was a small neat-looking cross. I looked up and said, Who made that cross, Dorothy? My mother. Can't your mother write ? I asked. Nope, was the reply. Was your father at home 7 Sure. He can write his name, I know. He signed your sister's card, didn't he 7 ' lKYep.7! Why didn't he sign yours ? Don't know. Doesn't he want you to take books ? Don't know. Well, you take the card home again and have your father write his name. Dorothy took the card and went. In about half an hour she came back. I looked at the card once more. This time there were two crosses. Dorothy, I exclaimed, didn't I tell you to have your father sign it ? 1cYep.n Why didnit he ? Don't know. Dorothy, I will go home with you to see your parents. Can they talk English ? Nope, Polish. Well, come along. You can do the talking? Outside we were immediately joined by a dirty little dog, and the three of us Went peacefully down the street. Say, Dorothy, did you really ask your father to write his name? I asked. ' 6lYep.7, What did he say ? He said he was too tired. What was he doing? Eating his dinner. About this time I became aware that we were going out of our way to go to Dorothy's home, but decided to follow my guide. It was well that I was determined on following her, for all at once Dorothy slipped into an alley and started to run. I ran after her. On we went, through the back of a saloon, through a couple of back-yards, climbed over a rubbish pile, squeezed through between two houses which were about eighteen inches apart, and landed in front of Dorothy's home. In the race we had just finished, I don't know just where the dog came in, but I am quite sure I was third. However, one glance at the innocent expression on the face of my young acquaintance was enough to banish from my mind the thought that she was trying to lose me. CK if H KK ll 160 We went into the house and climbed the rickety stairs to the room that my companions lived in. On entering this small room the first thing that I noticed was the intense heat, for, added to the heat of the day, was that made by a number of burning coals. These coals were heaped up on the open oven door of an old gas range. The air had a bad odor because the only window in the room was closed. Besides the stove there was a bed of straw on the floor, a chair and a table. As we went in, Dorothy's older sister, Annie, got up from the chair and came forward. Well, girls, where are your parents ? I said. It was Annie that answered. Mother goes out working all day, and father's in the workhouse. I was so surprised that I do not know exactly what I said. However, I hurried back to something I felt sure would be firm and would not give a surprise-the chair behind the desk at the library.

A crisis between the two countries had been reached, and any slight provo- cation might throw the United States into the great war which was raging throughout Europe. The American people were preparing with feverish anxiety. The newspapers were giving a great deal of space, en- deavoring to get 500,000 more men to enlist in the army and navy to train and be ready for war. The final relations with Germany had been severed by the United States, the cause being Germany's sinking a ship and drowning seven Americans who were passengers on it. The German ambassador and his assistants had been sent back to their native country. The German gov- ernment was also notified by the United States that it would not permit any further infringements of its rights as a neutral nation. The wrath of the United States was increased by reports that the German government was paying the Mexican rebels and supplying them l62 with ammunition with which to make war on the United States. It was also reported that Zeppelins had been seen flying over Mexico and near the border of the United States. It was believed these Zeppelins belonged to the Germans and were being made ready for an attack on the United States. The Knox building was the finest and tallest building in New York City. It had only recently been built and occupied. After midnight the crowds on Broadway, the street in which the Knox building stood, began to thin down, and inside of an hour or two there were not many people to be seen. Such was the condition on the night of the 22nd day of February, 1917. Those people who were on the street suddenly heard a crash, and, looking toward the Knox building, saw with amazement that it was tumbling down-first the upper part falling, and then story after story collapsing as though some tremendous weight was falling through the center of the building and was breaking all the supports, causing the walls to cave in. The news of this disaster spread rapidly. The natural supposition was that the German Zeppelins had made an attack on New York. This was strengthened by the assertion of an eye-witness that he saw some large object, which seemed to fall from the roof, go down through the center of the building, setting fire to everything in its wake. The conclu- sion of the people was that the Zeppelins had made the attack, and had dropped some new kind of bomb that plowed its way downward in this way. A search, directly after the crash, of the surrounding sky by search- lights of ships in the harbor, failed to locate a single Zeppelin. The pub- lic, however, knew that Zeppelins had been seen close to the Mexican border, and drew their own conclusions. After the news of the attack on New York City, there was no difficulty in securing more than the num- ber of men required for the army and navy. Fear of more attacks by Zeppelins caused the larger cities to issue orders requiring all the lights except those that were really necessary to be extinguished at 10 P. M. The harbors along the coast were closed at night, no boats being allowed to enter or leave, and chain nets were spread under water to prevent hostile submarines from entering the ports. At the same time the war department was making a systematic search, trying to locate the Zeppelins and see if they could get any evidence by which to lay the blame. Also it was found necessary to have the news pertaining to state matters censored. Two weeks had passed since the building had been wrecked. Men had cleared away most of the debris, and were now working in the basement of the building. Suddenly they began uncovering some large mass of compact iron about seventy-five feet in diameter, which was sunk deep into the ground. No one could imagine how this object had come there, for it was not there when the building was built. After much discussion one of the most noted meteorologists of the country announced that it was a meteor. Meteors are large bodies of molten metal which fly through the air, but it is seldom they come close to the earth. It was explained that the Knox building, being the tallest building, and, therefore, extending farther into the sky, happened to be in the path of the meteor, and had been hit by it. When it was announced to the public that the Germans had not de- stroyed the building, a great feeling of relief was felt by the people, as they were not anxious for war unless it was forced upon them. The crisis was past, and war for the time averted. CHARLES MELBOURNE, '17. 163 APRIL TWELFTH CC OW, Tottie, dear, I wish that you would get into bed like a good girl, or else mother and daddy will be late for dinner. All right, muvver, I'll be dood, if you will only dimme Teddy. The mother, a fair-haired, slender woman, dressed in a frock of shim- mering green, took Teddy from his perch on the wash-stand shelf and handed him to Tottie, a Wee elf of a girl of five years, now snuggled up in her bed. I say, Len, aren't -you ready yet ? A tall man, dark, with clean-cut features, appeared in the doorway. Yes, dear, but Tottie wants you to say good-night? Can't go to sleep without your daddy's kiss, can you, Puss? And Philip Warren bent over to receive a bear-like hug from his tiny daughter, gave the covers a few pats and turned out the light. A gorgeous night for the dance, isn't it, Phil ? asked Ellen, his wife, as she tripped happily beside him to the dining-room. Fine, and it seems to have a wonderful effect on you. You look a veritable sea-nymph in that green gown with your golden hair. Oh, Phil! she protested, yet slightly flushing with pleasure. They had been married seven years, these two, but always, after Tottie was in bed and asleep, they laid aside the role of mother and father and were sweet-hearts, once again. They had now reached the dining-room. The first-cabin passengers of the Cedric, finest liner of the White Star line, were already engaged in their meal. The Warrens hurriedly took their places, exchanging nods with the many acquaintances they had made on their trip, now only three days old. The dinner was gay, but short, for all were eager for the dance to follow. It was indeed a brilliant night for a dance. It was April, a gorgeous moonlight night with a south breeze blowing. Phil and his wife stopped on deck a moment before entering the ball-room, to drink in the beauty of the night. In silence they gazed at the wide expanse of smooth sea and the moon,,sending its rippling, silvery path down upon the waters. Then the orchestra struck up and seemed to break the charm. Philip spoke. Are you going to dance with your count tonight, Len ? Why will you persist in calling Monsieur Dumont a count? He isn't, I'm sure. Well, he certainly looks like one, if he isn't, with that tiny waxed moustache of his. 'Tm sure I think it very becoming. I suppose you do. Women usually like that sort of thing. Well, never mind. Who was it you wanted me to be good to tonight? It is that pale little girl that I introduced you to yesterday afternoon. Angelica Farnol is her name. She is such a shy little thing. I am afraid she won't have a very good time. By this time Dumont had come up to Ellen to claim his dance, and Phil went in search of Angelica. He had but walked the stretch of the deck, when suddenly there was a mighty crash and roar as if the elements had burst forth in a howl of wrath. There was a terrific grating sound, a. horrid creaking, and the ship swerved as if in a convulsion of agony. Then it shot forward. Philip was flung backwards violently, his head striking the railing of the deck. He lay stunned for a moment, but the sudden shrill screaming of women and the hoarse shouts of men brought him to his senses. He staggered to his feet. Good heavens, what was it? Could it be-? But, no, how foolish! Where was Len? He must find her. He made for the door of the ball-room, but was roughly pushed aside, nearly 164 trampled on by the terrified crowd that strove to reach the deck. A woman, pale with fear, with tears rolling down her cheeks, sobbed out in a strangled voice: An iceberg! What will become of us ? He forced his way through, but Len was not there. The thought flashed to him that she must have gone to get Tottie. He dashed like a mad thing through the passage-way, nearly knocking over a trembling steward. He opened the state-room door, discovered Tottie a frightened heap amidst the bed-clothes, but Len- Where was she? He gathered the sobbing child in his arms, wrapped a blanket about her and dashed out into the passage-way which was now free. Len, he shouted. He rushed to the vacant ball-room and looked about once more. He then made his way to the deck. The captain and officers were giving orders to the crew about the life-boats. A white- faced woman was talking to the captain. Is it very bad, Captain ? she asked. The captain turned a drawn, haggard face to her. Very bad, Madam, I am afraid. At that moment Dumont came up to Philip. Pardon, Monsieur, but your wife- She has sprained her ankle badly in that awful rush. She was thrown down. I have her here with Mademoiselle Farnol. She is much distracted about you and the little girl. I went to your stateroom, a moment ago, but it was empty. Thank heavens you were with her, Dumont! Take me to her. He found her supported by Angelica, a pitiful, trembling object. With a gasp of relief almost painful, she held out her arms for Tottie, but Angelica took her instead and handed Ellen over to Philip. What is it, Phil? Is it very bad ? asked Len. Pretty bad, Len, I'm afraid. The ship ran clean into the berg, and a peculiar thing has happened. The prow is smashed, of course, but the whole of the ship is split across diagonally. It looks pretty bad for the steerage people. With that the deep, sonorous voice of the captain broke in on the frightened murmurings. All eyes turned to the sturdy, stockily-built man. His rugged face was drawn and pinched-looking. His eyes looked stern and stubborn. I want some men, he began, to help me and my crew keep order and get the women and children into the life-boats. Come, Len, I shall help as soon as I see you and Tottie off this ship. Dumont, help Miss Farnol with Tottie, and with that he lifted his wife in his arms, trying his best not to hurt her injured foot. He made his way to a now ready life-boat. Len clung to him convulsively. No, Phil, she said, I cannot go. I know what this means. There are not enough life-boats. You'll be left here to- She stopped, unable to utter the awful word. Tell me, Phil, just how great the danger is. He carried her to the railing and pointed over. The water had nearly reached the deck below. At that moment a terrible howl and a mingling of shrieks and screams was heard from the lower part of the ship. God! What was that? Philip muttered. His wife clung to him more closely. Dumont whispered to him. The steerage, Monsieur-wedged in like rats to die. Room for three more in this boat, a sailor called. Come, Len, you must. For Tottie's sake. Phil, and with eyes swimming with tears, she pressed her trembling lips to his. God, help him, help me, she whispered, help me to be brave. Phil, with trembling arms, helped Ellen in the boat, and she collapsed a pathetic figure, into a corner. Then with one last embrace and kiss from Tottie, he handed the frightened baby-girl to Angelica once more, and he and Dumont assisted them into their places. Ellen took the child 165 in her arms and tried to soothe her. Then, as the boat was being lowered, Tottie held out her tiny, chubby hands, her big blue eyes were round and perplexed. Daddy! she called, don't leave us. Then the boat reached the water, and they were rowed away from the sinking ship. Philip turned to Dumont and said with a sob that seemed to rend his very being, They are safe 3 thank God for that. Then he straightened himself resolutely. We must help the others, he said. Then a big brute of a man passed by Philip. A life-boat was being lowered near the spot where Philip and Dumont were standing. The man made for it, pushed the sailor aside and tried to step in. Philip col- lared him. Women and children first, he said. The man shook him off with an oath. Hands off, young fellow, he snarled, and tried to pass. Philip stepped in front of him. Not yet, my man, our turn hasn't come yet. The man twisted his mouth in an ugly sneer. Who's going to stop me ? he asked. I am. And Philip shot out his Hst and caught the man squarely in the jaw. The big fellow fell heavily to the Hoor of the deck. Philip expecting him to get up and iight, braced himself for the blow, but an unexpected thing happened. The man looked up at Philip, then cover- ing his face with his big hands, he wept, wept as Philip had never heard a man weep before. His shoulders quivered with the sobs that shook his frame. Help me, help me, he gasped, I don't want to die. I can't die. His voice rose to a higher pitch. He screamed hysterically. Philip bent down and shook him. Get hold of yourself. Remember what you are, a man. Don't let yourself go like that. He helped the man to his feet and he slunk oi, a pitiable, miserable, cowardly wretch, afraid to die. The last boat full of women was now being lowered, and just as it touched the water, there was an exp-losion on the far side of the ship, a deadening roar. Mighty splinters of wood were tossed up against the sky. The ship heaved, groaned, and settled once more, but now the waters reached the upper deck at the stern. One life-boat left! Every man for himself, an officer shouted: Philip heard it with throbbing heart. He must get a place in that boat. He must save himself for Len's sake, for Tottie's sake. He dashed to the boat. Men struck out with their fists, trampled, push down to get a place in that boat. Philip was about to step in. Someone gripped him by the coat-collar, he wrenched himself free and fell headlong into a seat. The boat was lowered. Some men, in their frantic iight for life, dived from the ship to the water, made for it, and nearly pulled it over to get in. It was loaded to its utmost. Sailors shoved off and struck at those who would drag all with them to their horrible death. It was a case of survival of the fittest now. The boat shot away from the poor, strug- gling things, and left them to their watery graves. Philip's boat rowed about for hours before it came upon that which Len was in. He shot her a smile of encouragement, but all she could do was to grip Tottie more closely and whisper, Baby, God has answered our prayer and brought daddy back to us. Far into the night they rowed about. Each moment seemed an eter- nity of time. The drawn lips of men muttered prayers half aloud. EX- hausted women slept with their pallid faces revealed by the moonlight. Then ...... What was it? The silvery path of the moonlight disclosed 166 a ship headed toward them. A cry of thanksgiving went up to the heav- ens. Their prayers had been heard. PK Pk 24 if if Pk Pk Dk 8 It was April of the following year. It was a brilliant moonlight night. The moon sent its rays into Tottie's snowy white bed-room. Len, in a gown of pearl-gray, was hearing her prayers. HI say, Len, aren't you ready yet? Her husband appeared in the doorway, ready for the opera. Yes, dear, just a moment. She tucked Tottie in and then went to get her gloves from the dresser. They lay beside the calendar which read, April the twelfth. Phil, she whispered, pointing to it. Hush, he laid a hand on her lips, let's not think of it tonight. Then a shrill little voice called from the next room, Muvver, Teddy has fallen off the bed. Won't you pick him up for me ? LILLIAN FOSTER COLLINS, '17.

Here she comes, from the dock. You dive off the dock and swim out to the board, harmless enough looking, trailing behind the motor boat. All right there ? from the motor boat. All right, you answer. The motor starts. You lie full length on the board. Suddenly a jerk nearly dismembers you. You feel the water rush over you as the engine gains speed. Then you try to rise to your knees, and that harmless board begins to wiggle. You rise to your knees, however, and make a wild grab for the rope which holds you when you try to stand. The wiggles increase, and the water rushes over your feet. But as you become more accustomed to the motion, you try to stand. After many failures you get both feet under you and start to rise. Then that board twists and turns and jerks and wiggles until the shore reels and the water calm as possible seems like the ocean in a storm. The water seems to grow steady, however, in a few moments, and you ride along in perfect comfort, watchful, nevertheless. Now exhilaration begins. The water rushes over your feet, and the wind pushes your hair back. The only thing that could be more won- derful is fiying! NeXt! Your delight is over. The engine stops, and, incidentally, the board turns over, leaving you to swim back to the dock alone. MARGARET V. COBB, '17. 168 HOW VERY STRANGE ! I came to school the other day, . And what was wrong I could not say, But as I looked, it made me frown, For eV'rything seemed upside down: The Oflice onthe topmost floor, Rooms M and T right at the door. And as I went up toward Room Two, The voices that I heard I knew. But what strange things were these they said! Were these words spoken by our Head? Not for the pupils is this school. 'Tis MINE, and I alone shall rule. I heard Miss Baker's calm, clear voice: In careless writing I rejoice. Don't punctuate your themes, I pray, Far better spend your time in play. I know not what had wrought the change, But all the school was new and strange. In Gym, the classes made no noise, Miss Bennett said, I don't like boys. Miss Kelly said, Don't hurry so. Take time to think. Perhaps you know. The lunch room pie did not give out, Miss Brack's voice rose unto a shout, And Mister Reed that day, I heard, Put silent letters in a word. In Room Sixteen, our famous bard Said writing poetry was hard, And that, no matter what our need, No rally music he would lead, Miss Wright's new dress was not in style, Miss Ingersoll refused to smile. These were the strangest things of all: No Freshmen ran about the hall, Miss Critchley's classes that day found The Library was forbidden ground, All Mister Findley wrote that day Was legible, so people say, The Prothymeans had no iight, The Lincoln Club adjourned ere night, In peace the A II dance was planned, The A I's had no row on hand. 'Twas nice, and yet it seemed to me, I liked it as it used to be. And as I mused I heaved a sigh: Where was the Spirit of East High? J. D., ET AL, '17 Sz '18 169 DO YOU STUDY AT NIGHT?

Yes, sir, I bought that mule, was the proud reply given when people asked me if I had bought it. It was the first mule I ever had, and the last one I shall ever want. I suppose many people have mules of the same kind. A mule, in my opinion, does not regulate his movements strictly ac- cording to the will of his owner. His business hours do not correspond with those of his driver, and, as a result of this, inconvenience is often oc- casioned. Everybody slanders the mule, and yet we must allow that he is troublesome at times. When I am most anxious for my mule to go, he deliberately stands still. I coax him, pet him, spur and kick him, but of no avail. He refuses to budge. I put more force into the kick. Does the mule go? He does not. I put still more force into the next kick. Result, the stars are shin- ing brightly, the universe is going round as I was about two seconds be- fore. I rise painfully, and get on again, or try to get on, but I get ofi' more quickly and most ungracefully. Does a mule kick? I should say it does,-especially my mule. I would not mind it if he would only let his feet fly on some occasions, but this mule does it too much. I guess this is called mule spirit. Does a mule eat cabbage? Ask my dad, but get a good distance from him when you ask. As a result of eating cabbage my mule was sold. A ministeris son bought him, and I hope the new master may have a better time than I did, but I doubt it. The last time I saw them the mule was having a jolly good time, but the minister's son, some yards behind, prob- ably was not having as much fun as his steed. JOHN OLSON, '18, 170 ,, A -4 l- MD TU ' THE MOST DANGEROUS THING I EVER DID WAS in my stateroom upon the good ship Presque Isle, enjoying an article upon submarine Warfare. It occurred to me that our ship must be just about in the dreaded zone. I put up my magazine and hurried upon deck. Here I found darkness. An officer informed me that our ship had entered the zone which was just off the coast of England. Not being allowed on deck, I went back to my stateroom much wor- ried. I retired and had not been sleeping more than half an hour when I was awakened by a great crash and a sudden lurch of the ship. I quickly dressed and hurried upon deck. Here, to my surprise, I found that the last boat had just left the ship. I shouted at the top of my voice, but the men in the boats did not seem to hear my shout. The ship was sinking fast, so I strapped about me a life belt which was lying upon the deck. Suddenly I heard the terror-stricken cry of a horse. I followed the cry, and it led below decks. I found to my surprise that the cry came from the stall of a race horse abandoned by its attendants. The pitiful sound went to my heart, and I determined to save the horse or to die in the attempt. There was no way to get the horse out of the ship except through the sliding steel doors that closed the port gangway. A bar of steel was lying upon the floor, and this aided me in opening the doors. I found that it was only a few feet above the sea's level. I hurried back to the horse and untied her. I coaxed her, and finally got her up to the door, With stout rope I tied myself securely to her back. I was now ready. I stroked her nose and persuaded her to come near the door. A wave struck the boat, and I dug my heels into the mare's side. The muscles in her body stiffenedg we were in the sea. I cannot remember much that happened after this. I know that both the horse and I went under, and, when we came up, she was headed for shore. I remember that I struggled to keep myself upon her back, and that the water, as it passed over us, seemed to weigh tons. Once I re- member, I slipped from the mare's back and was underneath her. I seized her mane and managed to regain my place upon her back. When I came to, I found myself upon a sandy beach, it was early morning, and the ship's doctor was working over me. The first words that I uttered were, How's the mare? She's safe, someone said. That was enough for me. Now I could rest my mind which seemed to be in great confusion. EDWARD PooLE, '18. I 171 ROBERTS GRANDMA CC EEIN' as the corn and taters were all in and as me and Abe hadn't had no vacation since we took the children to the county fair, we went up ter the city to see our boy, John. Now, not ter brag, but so as you'll see how it was, John has a good job and is honerin' his paw's name. John's married a good woman, and they has a boy nigh unto thir- teen years, and his paw says he's right smart. Well, Abe got the tickets and we took the train. It whizzed along real fast like, and Abe he looked at the trees and houses we passed by, but I just looked straight ahead at the lady in front. Her bunnit was real pretty like, all beads and ribbons. It wasn't long before we were there, an' John he came after us 'n his big automobile. Then we rode some more through lots of people and cars, and a few horses and buggies, and at last we came to John's house. He said it was a department, but I can't get used to those new fangled names nohow. We went in a little room with lots of buttons, and John pushed one, and a noise came, and we went up some steps, through a door, and then up some more steps, and there was Mary, John's wife and Robert, John's son. They was mighty glad to see us, and showed us a pretty room to put our things in. Then Mary, she said, 'Come on, father and mother, dinner's ready.' I guess she got mixed up, and meant supper, for it was after six. Then Robert started to tell us real proud like of the new school where he went, how smart he was, and how his teachers liked him, and how dum Joe, his chum, was, an' his paw and maw jest looked at each other. Then Robert, he says, 'Mother, bring 'em to the rally tomorrow.' And she smiled and said she would. I'd sung the song, 'Rally round the flag, boys,' but couldn't guess no how what rally meant. After we was through eatin' I said, 'We'll do the dishes right up smart now,' but she says, 'No, the maid will do them.' So we just sat down. Next day we went to a big place, the place Robert told us of. We went in a big room with lots of seats and took some up-stairs. I was afeared Mary had took me to one of them show places, but soon lots of boys and girls came in all dressed up as if fur meetin'. Then a big tall man got up and went on the platform, and everyone clapped, and he put up his hand parson-like, an' all was still. He talked a spell about a new convention called 'student governmentf and a quiet man talked on a couple more things, entertainment course for one. I'd heard Robert talk of that, and then the man talked about the school newspaper, 'Blue and Gold.' Then another young man talked about machines and games and tickets, and then a black haired boy got up and said lots of things real fast, and wriggled like a worm, and then they all said the same words real fast like. Then the tall man said some more about adding a few minutes to the seventh hour, and they all went out, and I've been a-wonderin' how one could add to an hour, but we went on home. When Robert got home he said, 'How was it, grandma ?' And I told him fine, fur what else could I do when he looked at me so bright and eager-like ?

WHEELER LOVELL, '18 EQ0Y?9Q39QE 'TWAS EVER THUS To the doorway came the Hatletg Came the fiatlet, fearful, trembling- Came the flatlet, speechless, jostled- Came the future East High senior. Then he passed through squeaking doorway With his eyes as big as saucers, For he saw the halls of East High. Up the stairs he quickly toddled. With a look one-half inquiring- With a look that showed his folly- To a sophomore now he scampered, Saying, Please, Sir, can you tell me Where it is that I should go ? Then the sophomore answered quickly- Answered thus the foolish flatlet- Up four stairways you must go, For the fifth floor is your goal. Without warning turned the flatlet- Turned and up the stairway ran- And then, breathless, stood exhausted- Stood a-gasping and a-panting- For the chase had tried him sorely, And two stairways stood before him. But as he was gazing upward, Came to him a man with whiskers- Came a tall man, smiling slightly- Came the principal of East High. And he laid his hand upon him, And he took him without stopping Whither all the flatlets ran. WHEELER G. LOVELL, '18 173 THE SLIP OF PAPER T was April, and April in the mountains is anything but pleasant. The downpour of rain had been almost continuous, causing the small moun- tain streams to become dashing rivers which filled the roads and, in general, stopped transportation. It was in such weather that I started out on horseback up the old trail that led through the wildest and most tangled woods and underbrush. I rode on and on, not paying any particular attention to where I was go- ing, only enjoying the beautiful wild scenery. I had never been up the mountain so far before, and it was all new and interesting to me. When I turned a curve in the road I saw ahead of me an old man seated upon a wagon filled with barrels, on which was painted in large white letters, Cider. I turned into the ditch to let him pass, and as I did so the wagon hit a rock in the road and knocked one of the barrels off. This startled Bob, my horse, and the next thing I knew he was carrying me through thick underbrush that scratched my face, then up over hills and down into ravines. Somehow I didn't care where he took me, it was grand to be alive, and the scenery was more beautiful than before. I don't know how long I rode that way, but suddenly we turned a curve around a large boulder, and before me was the wide valley below, and above a threatening black sky. I discovered, as I looked over the ledge, that I was on a rock plateau that jutted out a few hundred feet from the mountain side. Be- low, a little river Zig-zagged its way through the valley, making a snaky looking line. You can imag'ine my surprise when I saw directly below another plateau, not two hundred feet away, closely nestled against the mountain side-three almost tumbled-down houses which were black with age and weather. How peculiar, a house herell' I said to myself, but I did not have time to think about this, for the storm broke that instant, and my only thought was to get to shelter. I backed Bob into a cave made of overhanging rocks and bushes. The rain came down in torrents, and the harder it rained, the more I thought about going to one of those mysterious houses. I was not afraid of the rough mountaineers, but I knew that if they had a suspicion that I was not what I said-a country school teacher, but a detective come to spy on them, I might never see daylight again. After waiting three hours when my watch pointed to 5 o'clock, I dubiously peered over the cliff again and finally had the courage to mount Bob and start zig-zag down the incline. We went in safety until-well, I don't know just what happened, but, when I awoke, I was lying on a couch in an ill-smelling room that was al- most bare of furniture. My heart very nearly stopped beating. I was in one of those black shacks I knew. The lamp on the table opposite threw an unsteady flicker over the room, making everything look weird. In the farther end of the room an old towsly-headed woman, bent almost double. was stirring something in a kettle that was swung in the fire-place on an ancient crane. When she turned towards me I was thoroughly frightened. Never in all my life had I seen such eyes-bulged, glassy and staring. At that instant another woman, a typical mountaineer, tall, gaunt and pale, came through the door opposite, bringing me a glass of water. You-all had a right smart fall, she said, as she took the glass away again, but I reckon you'se only stunned. Supper's ready, so come along, 'cause Pa's anxious. At supper we stared at each other, and in answer to my numerous questions I got only monosyllabic answers. But when I told them that I was the school teacher over on the other side of the mountain, they became interested immediately. It had been their dream to go to school, but cir- cumstances had made it impossible, and then they were backward about going to a strange people. In the end, though, they all, even to the old man, promised to come to school next session. 174 And you must bring your wife, too, I said to him. He looked at the old woman whom I had first seen stirring the kettle in the fire-place. That's Aunt 'Liza, he said, and then he told me that she had lost her mind when she was seventeen years old. I asked him to tell me about it, so in his low, hesitating manner he told me the following story: 'Liza had been the prettiest of all the mountain girls, and, of course, had been courted by the young hopefuls of the surrounding country, but none would she have. Then one day a stranger came,-an artist from the city. Everyone was suspicious of the handsome newcomer until he thrashed Jason Hawks, the biggest bully of the mountain-then his popu- larity was permanently established. He came to stay a month, but-three, four months passed, and still he stayed. 'Liza was his model for his moun- tain girl picture, and for this she was handsomely paid. Her father did not like the attention the painter paid to his daughter, and so forbade her seeing him. But 'Liza loved Prentice, and what did she care if her father did not like it? She saw her lover daily, and she was happy only when she was with him. But, alas! such happiness as this could not continue long for unfortunate 'Liza. Late one afternoon a boy came and told her that her lover had fallen from a cliff when a rock under his feet slipped, and now he was dying in his cabin. 'Liza reached him before he died, and those that were there say that he gave her a slip of paper, but what she did with it no one knew-for soon afterwards she fell into brain fever, and when she recovered her mind was gone. From her half-witted babblings they discovered that the day Prentice died, 'Liza and he were to have been married. Even in her half-witted condition the sight of a wedding or any kind of a celebration threw her into violent fits of laughter, which ended in hysterics. One by one her people had died, leaving her homeless, and, as the unwritten law of the mountains was to let none of their people be in want while others had anything to offer, she had become a member of their household. I went back home, fully determined that I would see that the chil- dren of the cottage got an education. When the following September came I went back to the lonely shack to remind the old man of his prom- ise, but I found I did not need to remind him, for they had been counting on it ever since the spring. Yes, they were all coming save Aunt 'Liza- John, Ezekelia, Cyrus and little Ellen. Ellen sang that evening for us the old mountain ballads. The whole family came to school through rain, snow and heat. It was this exposure that brought on Ellen's illness that developed into pneumonia. She was fifteen years old, but, when she had to stop school, her heart was nearly broken. It was then that I knew Ellen had something bigger in this world for her than to be a mere mountain girl, so I had her come and live with me. Our friendship grew during those four years-we read, walked and rode together. It was on one of our walks that she confided in me her great ambition to become a singer. I had heard her sing her mountain ballads, but her voice never seemed so sweet as that night that I gave her her first try-out. I taught her all I knew about music, as the mountains do not afford such a luxury as a music teacher. We dreamed and planned to- gether how she would go to the city and study music and learn to teach school, just like you do, she would say, and then come back and teach the mountaineers and give them the same chance that she had. I did not tell her, but I knew that it would cost a great deal to make this dream a reality. Where to get the money was more than I knew. I had no money, only barely enough to keep me going, and a little legacy of one hundred dollars which had been left me, and which I was saving for those last days. Time seemed to fly on wings, and now little Ellen was a young lady of nineteen years. She had learned all that we had to offer, and now came 175 the question, Where could I get the money to send her away? Then the miracle was worked as if in answer to my prayers. Cyrus came down to the school one morning, all out of breath. Aunt 'Liza had died two days before in one of her hysterical fits. No one could get down to the school to let us know until Cyrus had braved the downpour. He breathlessly told us that in a locket around her neck they had found a picture of Prentice, her dead sweetheart, and a piece of paper. The neighbors said it was the same one that Prentice had given her on his death-bed. It bore the words, In case anything happens, notify John McLaren, attorney. Offices 1796 Man Street, St. Louis. Signed G. A. Prentice. Cyrus, Ellen and I rushed to the stable, got three horses, and started down the mountain to Fort Lee, the nearest telegraph station. We arrived there just as the lazy operator was leaving, but he condescended to go back for us. We waited for hours, but finally our answer came: Smith, Morgan Sz McLaren, Attorneys, have the will of the late George A. Pren- tice. Call immediately. Very important. Cyrus and Ellen both said I was the one to go. I shall not go into all the details of the story, but George Prentice had not been a poor man, and what is more, he had left all his wealth to 'Liza. In case of her death, his fortune was to be used for the education of the mountain children. Prentice himself had no relations. This changed everything for everyone in our world. Of course Ellen went away to make her own ambition a reality. In course of time other mountain children were sent away to be educated, and this will continue as long as the fund holds out. , What a great good that little slip of paper has done!

Pure lilies grow around to feed the bee, Whilst all does rest in solitude serene, And dances soft with brightest light and sheen The Sun, upon the calm morass so free. And thrilled by wondrous love of nature sweet, I gaze and linger till the hours grow late, Till twilight comes and earth and sun do meet, And stars upon the fen do scintillate.

Have we not grown from a mere vacant lot to an imposing building, and are we still to endure the absence of the most necessary of the modern adjuncts to civilization? True, you say that such a great stride forward as the placing of traf- fic oiiicers in the halls should be delayed until we get our new gymnasium. But when it has been definitely decided that work on the new gymnasium will be begun on or before 2017 it is high time to look at this most press- ing need of today. Not only is the need pressing, but the blockading of the halls by Flats renders the establishment of traflic cops and traffic laws absolutely imperative. Consider the enormous advantages to be gained by such an improve- ment. First of all, we would eliminate almost entirely the high percentage of accidents which work such havoc among the books of the lower class- men. This saving in the school book bill alone would be sufficient to pro- vide for the salaries of the officers stationed at the principal hall intersec- tions. Probably, under the proposed system a congested district would be formed where no stopping for talking between boys and girls would be permitted. As to Whether parking spaces would be set aside where these edifying conversations could be held, is a detail to be left entirely to the discretion of the local traffic officers. Then, too, the great advantages to the seniors are deserving of consid- eration. After the establishment of the new traffic rules, they could go about with their heads above a cloud without fear of collisions. In considering these manifold advantages we must not neglect to speak of the teachers. While we hardly wish to say that they are unable to cope with the present situation, nevertheless the proposed traffic offi- cers would relieve the teachers of a great responsibility, not to mention wear and tear due to clapping hands, snapping fingers, or calling loudly to offending pedestrians. The new traffic rules would reduce tardiness to class to a minimum, as the cops would compel all loafers to move on, and all slow going vehicles to keep to the wall, and not delay persons intent on business. So, students of East High School, I appeal to you ffor this is your schooll to adopt this most wise and expedient plan. If you do, I can fore- tell with accuracy and certainty that you will never again endure the dangers and delays of the present system. WHEELER G. LOVELL, '18, 177 ' THE WARNING BELL The Bell. The noisy music fills the halls, That did in solitary silence bask. That Warning Bell. You drop at last your task. The very sound of angels to you calls. Or else, in study hours, the sound appalls You, 'neath its unrelenting mask That speaks of time that's just now barely past- That awful thought that now so deeply galls. And be it music such as angels sound That makes your very heart with gladness boundg Or be it clamor such as Satan makes Which makes you think of life's continued fakesg Remember that fwhen all is said and donej Another stroke comes quickly on this one. WHEELER G. LOVELL, '18 QW PRESCRIPTION OF A POETICAL DOCTOR NOT A SONNET The things a boy in school will deign to eat Do not conform at all with rules of health, He does not take into account his Wealth, And never tries his pocket-book to meet. The richly sugared cakes that follow meat, The pies and pickles that produce a Wealth Of agonies, which make remorse of self, Are surely for his stomach not a treat. So let this little bit of truth be held, If you should wish in proper health to keep And so at home to be not firmly celled: You may drink what you Will, both long and deep, And eat of any meats, and custard jelled, But mix them not or you'll have cause to Weep. I. M. BATTY, '99 178 APLOMB HERE is, perhaps, nothing in the world that serves one quite so well as aplomb. Aplomb will carry one successfully through the roughest days and the darkest nights. Aplomb is an invulnerable armor from which the sharpest darts of criticism glance and fall harm- lessly to the ground. Mind you, I do not mean conceit, blind, clumsy con- ceit. I am speaking of-really the word which best expresses my mean- ing is-aplomb. The beauty of aplomb is that anyone can possess it. Just sit down and take an inventory of your good qualities. Never mind the bad ones. That is one of the first steps toward aplomb. You have no bad qualities. Well, perhaps a very few, but it is a simple matter to find an excuse for each one. Let's see .... you say you possess amiability, brilliancy, careful- ness, diplomacy, eloquence, fairness, gentleness, honesty, imagination, jubi- lance, culture, loyalty, modesty, naivete, patience, quaintness, reserve, sang froid, thoroughness, uprightness, nerve, wit, experience, and zeal? Those will do very nicely for a start. There now, don't you feel better? I thought you would. Yes, your chest measures a full inch more than formerly. You say that aplomb comes easily with greatness? Dear, dear, how you talk! Don't you realize that it is the easiest thing in the world to prove yourself greater than the most imposing figure of History? Consider Charlemagne. Charlemagne is the noblest figure in history between the fifth and fifteenth centuries. His brilliant military campaigns have been famed for centuries. But Charlemagne was unable to write. You can write. The pen is mightier than the sword. Therefore, you are might- ier than Charlemagne. What conclusion, I ask you, could be more logical and natural? There you have the first principles of aplomb. However, it is only practice that makes perfect. Try a little aplomb every day. Try it on the dog, the cat, the automobile. Above all, never become excited. If a tall individual in a blue suit comes to call on you and invites you to meet Judge --, on such and such a day, smile sweetly and answer, I shall be charmed to meet him. At what time did you say? This will inspire your visitor with a fine feeling of awe and give you the required courage to face the judge and give him a plausible reason why you did not heed the signal. Aplomb, once acquired, will prove a source of great comfort. Though all friends fail you, though you are exposed to the scorn of high and low, you can turn to your aplomb, and, holding it to your heart, say, World, I defy you. DOLORES COOKE, '17. LATE?

COBB, '17. 181 WHEN? 7 HE trafiic cop coughed. He had been on service at the intersection of halls M and 28 ever since 2013 and never caught a cold. There was not another traffic cop in the whole building of East High School that could boast of a similar record. Four years was a pretty long time. He paused in his thoughts long enough to tell a small freshman the way to room P2107, and continued. Four years he had been at the same post without a single demerit mark. He was proud of it. Four times he had seen the new flats gaze awestruck at the miles of halls., There ought to be some new flats now. They were coming today, of course, and, looking at his watch, he realized they were due now. A small boy approached him. Please, will you tell me the way to the Auditorium ? One of the traffic cop's friends was passing. Will they ever change ? he queried. Never, was the immediate reply. - W. G. L., '18, is-'-if -c - tif v .

Is that you, Sarah? I don't know. Nothing, I guess! Adelaide called back. Come on over. We'll make some candy. All right. As the girls sauntered on homeward, they talked and talked as if they had not met for years, and they talked all afternoon, while making the candy. Then while it was cooling off, they sat down by the fire in the sit- ting-room. There was nothing more to say! Everything and everybody had been discussed. Both sat pondering on something to talk about. Then Adelaide had an inspiration. Have you heard the scandal, my dear? Louise had her purse with ten dollars in it taken from her desk this morning. That's nothing new, replied Sarah, with a yawn. Money is always being lost at school. By the way, why did Louise go home in the middle of the morning? She had a bad headache. She was as pale as a ghostf, Adelaide, however, turned back to the beginning of her conversation as nothing more was to be said about Louise's headache. The strange part of it was that Louise had the money in her desk before she went to English, and when she came back, it was gone. Sarah became more interested. Were you in the study-room ? Yes, said Adelaide. 182 Did you notice anyone going to Louise's desk? No one except Grace Roberts. Come on, let's see if the candy's cooled off yet. The next afternoon Sarah went for a walk with Anna Staur, and again there came a pause in the conversation. My dear, have you heard the news ? said Sarah. What news ? That Louise's purse was taken from her desk with ten or twelve dollars in it. Who took it ? asked Anna. Why, I don't know-for sure, added Sarah. Who do you think did? Oh, I had better not tell. Come on, I promise I'll never breathe a word, on my honor I won't, teased Anna. On your honor? Promise? Well--I think Grace Roberts did. Sarah vaguely remembered hearing Adelaide mention Grace's name in connection with her going to Louise's desk, but she gave this information with an air of importance. Now, don't ever breathe this, she added. You're the only person I've told. The next morning Anna Staur walked to school with several other girls. Someone said, I wonder if Louise will be back today? I do hope she isn't going to be seriously ill. By the way, did she find her money ? No, replied Anna, and I know who took it. Who? they all chorused. I can't tell, I promised not to, replied Anna. We'll never tell, really we won't, they said. Well-Grace Roberts did. Thus the rumor spread until, by the end of the week, the entire school knew. Everybody told everybody else, and everybody promised not to tell, but no promises were kept. The teachers had also heard the dreadful thing. Still Louise had not returned. Meanwhile Grace Roberts was very unhappy. She did not under- stand why everyone seemed so cool and strange. Her best friend did not speak to her, so one morning she asked her what was the matter. I do not associate with thieves, was the answer Grace received. The pciimr girl was mystified. Later in the day, she stopped her friend in the ha . Why did you call me a thief this morning? she asked. One calls people who steal thieves, said the girl, sarcastically. I suppose you know nothing of Louise's money. You are trying hard to act innocent. Grace grew as white as a sheet. Now she understood the attitude of the girls. She wanted to die. She was too miserable to try to convince anyone she had not stolen. It was too terrible. There is no telling what might have happened, had not Louise re- turned to school the following week. As soon as she entered the building, Sarah and Adelaide greeted her excitedly, saying: How are you. Glad to see you back. It's a shame you lost your money. What money? said Louise, wonderingly. Why, your ten dollars that was taken from your desk the day you went home sick. Oh, that! Why, I found that in my blouse when I got home. I had put it there for safe-keeping.

As I sat in my study absorbed in Poems and Tales by Edgar Allen Poe, the muffled, half-stiiled groans of the chimes rang out. There must be a strong wind, I thought, that is carrying the sound out across the lake. It was in the dreary, depressing month of November, a bleak, chill- ing wind had arisen, and was whirling the crisp, dead leaves about and piling them into drifts. I went to a window and looked out. The starless sky was covered with large, heavy, black clouds through which no light could penetrate. Occasionally the full moon shone through a crevice in the clouds and suifused everything in a pale, silvery, ghastly light. The dim street lights flickered and went out one by one, the streets were deserted. The wind, which was blowing harder now, came whistling down the chimney, and threatened to put out my fire which I had allowed to grow very low. I threw on a handful of coalg the fire made a mighty effort to burn, then sputtered, and went out. The book which I had been reading slipped to the floor, and I must have dozed off, for I was startled into con- sciousness by a loud, harsh ring of the telephone. I groped my way in darkness to the telephone. A timid, feminine voice answered my grutf hello. Is this Dr. Goolman? came the voice at the other end. To my aflirmative answer, this message came: Old Larue, on the river road, is dying. I did not wait for the rest of the words. I was very fond of the old hunter and wished, with all my heart, to Save him. Thrusting the necessary restoratives into my satchel, I hastened to get my machine out of the garage. The engine would not start, and after a few minutes of cranking I locked the garage and hastened along the shore road on foot. The rough path, full of deep ruts, and the blustering wind added to my discomfort. Several times I stumbled and fell full length and often the wind took my breath away. A coarse, icy sleet be- gan to fall, and I could not see a foot ahead of meg the wind grew furious, great branches were falling about me, threatening to dash my life out. I could not tell why I did not turn back or drop in the road. A persistent impulse urged me on. I argued with myself: Could not that message have been a trick-- a plan to get me out and then to murder me, or have me freeze to death ? My fears were realized when two masked figures threw themselves upon me. It was of no use to cry out, for there was no one to help me. I was dragged to an old shack which stood removed from the roadside, my hands and feet were bound, and the robbers left me with a flickering lamp as my only comfort. By a great deal of maneuvering I got my watch out. It was three o'clockg I had been Qn the way three hours! Soon one of the robbers came back and to my surprise began to remove my bonds. He talked as he worked, Sorry, boss, but we nailed de wrong guy. We was layin' for de postmaster what goes by dis place, dis time 'zactly, every night. Now beat it, and remember to keep your mug shut about dis. He gave me a parting shove which sent me sprawling out. I hur- riedly picked myself up and beat it without looking back. Poor Larue, I said aloud, he will surely be gone by the time I get there. I could see lights through the trees now, and it was not many minutes before I entered Larue's house, but I could tell by the look on the face of the woman who met me, that I had arrived too late. ANNETTE DOLLER, '17, 185 A SOLDIER OF FRANCE N a little cottage, in a coast town of Lombardy, lived little Minnette and her brother. It was a cozy little cottage, with bright, potted plants, and fresh, white curtains at the windows. Since the death of the mother, five years before, little Minnette had kept house. Late in the afternoon she ran across the beach, in whitest of aprons, and her black curls covered with the quaintest of caps. The fishing boats were coming in, and she was going to meet Francois. Minnette was not alone on the beach, for the women in the fishing villages all go to meet their husbands, sons and brothers at this hour, and the beach might be called the social center of the little community. Here they chatted contentedly while the boats were being relieved of their cargo of fish and the great nets. This reception of the fishermen had been part of the daily routine ever since Minnette could remember. In storm or calm weather the faithful women 'waited on the shore. Sometimes there were terrible storms, and there was great fear in their hearts as they strained their eyes for the first glimpse of the fishing boats. Sometimes fishermen went out in the morn- ing, never to return, and grief was in the hamlet. But on this evening all was joyous and happy, and the gay colors in the garments of the peasants served to heighten the efect of cheer. The men were welcomed with shouts, and soon all were on their way to the little cottages for the evening meal. Everywhere was peace and content- ment. Then war came. This remote little hamlet responded to the call, oiering its manhood for the cause. Minnette often heard the women talk of sending their loved ones to fight for France. Suddenly she thought of Francois. Would he, too, go to war? A certain fear seemed to grow upon her. That evening, as they were eating their supper, she said: Francois, are you, too, going to war? Yes When, Francois ? I shall go soon, little sister. Marie's brother is going, too, but Marie has sisters and a mother here, and I have no one. Can't you take me with you, Francois ? Not to the war, but you shall go to Paris to a pension, where a kind madame will take care of you. The man was very solemn, but the child was eager to go to Paris, for she had never been outside of this tiny village in all her thirteen years. Little Minnette never forgot the day, on which, from the review- ing stands in Paris, she saw Francois, her own brother Francois, in his splendid uniform, marching with his battalion to the front. She caught the martial spirit, and with the great crowd, sang the Marsellaise as she had never sung before. Her strongest feeling was pride that her Francois was fighting for France. Life in the little pension was very different from life in the village, and at first she was all enthusiasm. The crowds of people passing to and fro, the bustle and stir of the great city, the buildings and beautiful ave- nues were a source of joy and wonder. Twice Francois came on leave of absence to visit her, and they were very happy. Their talk was never of warg for the man felt that the girl hardly realized what it was. Only once was it referred to, and that was the glorious day that proudly showed her on the front of his coat the Cross of the Legion of Honor. Toward mid-summer the child began to long for the little hamlet. She had not seen Francois for two months, and she was feeling lonely, and seemed to be almost stifling in the great city. One evening she was 186 hot and could not sleep. Unseen by madame, she slipped out of the house, thinking to get some breaths of cool air. It was a beautiful night, and she wandered on and on, feeling strangely refreshed and contented. Sud- denly she realized that she was in an unfamiliar neighborhood. Every- thing was strangely deserted. She found herself before a building which seemed the only living, breathing thing she had seen within blocks. There were lights at many windows. She stood at the gate, watching the shad- ows of people passing back and forth within. Then, faintly, far down the street, she heard the noise of an approach- ing motor truck. A whole procession of trucks followed, and turned in at the very gate at which she was standing. With a shock of horror she heard moans and groans from the trucks, and for one awful moment she thought she heard Francois' voice. Quickly she followed the machine to the very door of the building, where, in the shadow of a pillar, ,she could look upon each stretcher that was carried past. Francois was not among the Wounded brought to the hospital, but the thought which had come to her would not leave her mind. These were soldiers, men like her own Francois, who lay suffering. She was no longer the light-hearted Minnette. Many times she re- turned to the hospital. She never entered the building, but often talked with convalescents whom she met in the grounds. Soon the nurses began to look forward to her coming, for she did much to cheer and help the disabled. One day Minnette yielded to the entreaty of a soldier, and entered the building to speak to one of the sufferers. Suddenly she stopped with a cry of recognition. ' Francoisl My brother l But Francois did not answer, and then she knew that he would never answer. He had fought his last battle for France, and he had fought glo- riously. Looking through her tears, she saw there, pinned to his blanket, the Cross of the Legion of Honor. In the face of the disaster she was mute, but she tried to put her grief away in service. Should you hunt for Minnette today, you would find her in one of the surgical supply stations. She has not forgotten her Francois, she has only realized that there are thousands of such soldiers, and to these, as a memorial to her soldier brother, she has consecrated her service.

A COUNTRY POSTMASTER CC HE mail ought to be distributed by this time, I thought, as 1 walked along the country road, towards the post-office. Several other people had anticipated the distribution of the mail, and were standing or sitting about the little weather-beaten shack that con- stituted the post-oflice. Three little girls were sitting on the clean-swept floor playing jacks, and as I came in, I heard the old postmaster call to one of them 'from behind his bulwark of pigeon-holes, in a cracked, drawly voice, 'iBe you goin' down past Hardin's place purty sun? he asked. Receiving a polite, Yes, Mr. Benton, old Adoniram shuffled out from behind the counter, with a letter in his hand. His kindly, withered, old face lighted up, and his little, gray eyes twinkled under sparse white eyebrows. He had just dismissed the little girls with peppermint drops, when a baby toddled across the threshold. Regardless of the passing time and the waiting people, the old man picked the baby up and played with it until its mother came. He stroked his thin, smoke-gray chin-whiskers, tucked his thumbs in the arm-holes of his vest, and teetered back and forth on the heels of his well-worn, brown house-slippers as he delivered an oration on that thur baby. As he talked, he gazed at us over his steel-rimmed spectacles which rested on the extremity of his nose. His rough, gray, tweed trousers wrinkled profusely at the knees, and his brown, alpaca shirt was generously patched with black on the elbows. Finally the thought came to him that perhaps the waiting group wanted something. You be all come for your mail, I 'spec', and with this he toddled behind the counter and was silent for about fifteen minutes. Hyde, he said, at last, handing out my mail which included a post-card, your wife says here she ain't comin' home fer tue or three weeks yit.

I realize that it is not dark, and that I am ready to awaken, but I dare not, for I know that at the slightest peep the pacific state of delicious comfort that I now enjoy will be forever broken. This is merely one of the torments with which the ghosts of Hades mean to surprise meg they are permitting me to enjoy my downy comfort until the instant that I open my eyes, when they intend to consign me to perpetual torture till doom cracks. I hear the demoniacal wailing of the hot typhoon caused by the groans issuing from the parched throats of the victims already confined in my destined habitation. They will never get me, for I shall never awaken. I shall fool them. But what is bearing me down? What is it holds me? Oh! could I but move one muscle I would gladly open my eyes and accept my sentence to avoid the present oppression. Yet I cannotg I cannot! The inky blackness cuts me now. All is quiet. It shrieksg it screams-I cannot stand the stillness. There, high above me, I see my loved ones gazing at me with tears, just an instant, and all is gone, and down, down, down I feel my- self hurtling to the pit of my grave. Before reaching the Antipodes, or the floor, I awoke. I. M.

Every flake a nook must fill On the earth, if plain or hill, In every region not too warm, Flakes an added blessing form. For, when they melt, they water give, That all the thirsty plants may live, Which cannot wait till spring comes 'round To moisten up their rootlets sound. But let us watch these flakes of snow, Note their acts, and where they go. Here comes one at breakneck speed, Whom he hits he does not heed. Another comes at slower rate, Settling quietly ere too late, But others lingering, floating say, Oh, what's the use? Let's stop and play. But when at last they cease their sport, And try, all tired, a nest to court, They find no room, can only shift, Till tossed by wind into a drift. We are the flakes that form God's plan, Let's do our work as best we can, If mindful of others, their rights to observe, We'll find time to play and from right need not swerve. HARLAN G. METCALF, '17. THE EXCUSE HABIT NE of the necessary elements in every boy's training is his ability to make suitable excuses for every occasion. Not only must these ex- cuses be of a kind to enable him to get out of every difficulty that may arise, but they must be made up extemporaneously. It is of the ut- most importance that every boy make use of these excuses at every avail- able opportunity until it becomes a habit to do so. Take a fellow who has not acquired this much to be desired excuse habit. He may some time or other, during his high school career, come late to school. This, however, is a rare occurrence among high school students, especially freshmen. Or, perchance, he may commit that unpar- donable sin of skipping classes. These acts would surely prove a calamity to one unprepared for emergencies. At once a marked dullness would overshadow his face, and in stammering accents he would seek to give the reason for his de- linquency. 190 But, on the other hand, can you not picture in your mind's eye the sturdy countenance and upright figure of a boy in the midst of a very noble and hair-raising description of how the dog chewed up his Algebra homework, and then arousing the sympathy of the teacher by adding, as a further excuse for not being prepared that day, that he had to spend the rest of his time in punishing the culprit? Or is it beyond your own comprehension to imagine yourself in that eventful moment? Deliberately and unilinchingly standing before your teacher, sometime during the ninth period, you narrate the blood-curdling adventure of that very morning, as an excuse for coming late. You de- scribe how the street-car with unaltered speed dashed past, while you stood gasping at the very insolence of the motorman. Then, how in your desperation, you determined to walk to school rather than wait for another car. Can you not imagine the confidence and self-satisfaction you gain when your most revered teacher, thoroughly outwitted, with an apologetic quiver in his voice, meekly says, You are excused ? Do not misunderstand me. I do not speak of those excuses which are mere fabrications, in which the maker himself has no confidenceg l mean good, reliable excuses which have served boys generation after generation. If any boy, for a few weeks, will give serious attention to the study and practice of excuse-making, he will have on hand a supply of excuses for any and all occasions. EARL ARNOLD, '17, REMEMBER? When I'm a Freshman at High School I'll ne'er run through the halls, you bet, I'll work real hard, obey each rule-, But no, I'm not a Freshman yet. But wait till I'm a Sophomore, I'll be an ardent football fan, And they will call me fiat no more, For Iill impress all as I can. But when I am a Junior big Examinations hard, I'll fear, So, in my books, I'll surely dig To finish school in one more year. And, oh, when I'm a Senior grand, I'll act real proud and dignified, The first, in every class, I'll stand, And feel it is because I tried.

I hope some day that I may change And cease to hate these themes: Oh, how I hope this day will come And thus fulfil my dreams. HELEN SCHULZE, '18. 192 THE BUSIEST STORE IN CLEVELAND CROSS from the school is one of the busiest stores in Cleveland. I have never been in any other store, great or small, that is as packed full of human beings as this. The throng of pupils, pushing, crowd- ing, shouting, advancing and retreating is a source of great amusement and, sometimes, annoyance, to the onlooker. The opening of the new term is, perhaps, the busiest season of the year. The pupils flock over to the store in swarms to buy their books. On such occasions I wish I were either very small or very tall. Just as I am advancing to the front rank, a little flat slips in front of me, and I find myself pushed toward the rear. Or else some tall, lank individual de- cides that he will be waited on or know the reason why. So he leans away over and gives his order, using my head as an elbow-rest, much to the detriment of my hat. Inspired by his triumphant exit, I determine to be next', or die in the attempt. Accordingly, I begin to shove, and all around begin to groan and pass remarks. Some people never had no manners, Quit the shov- ing, What's the idea ? I hear around me. , Unabashed, I succeed in reaching the counter, and ask if a certain book is in. Much to my dismay, I learn that the last one was sold just a minute ago. After a few more exertions, I gain the open air. My hat is on one ear, a button has been wrenched from my coat, my shoes are scratched and dusty-but, worst of all, my temper is considerably ruflied. But that is only one side of the subject. It is at lunch period that we have the fun. We rush across the street to get a bag of candy or a weeny sandwich. It is great sport to watch a pupil buy candy. He asks how much this is and how much that is. Finally he decides upon that of which he can procure the most for a nickel, and, with his purchase, starts toward the door. It is surprising how many friends he has! Little groups surround him, and he is forced to pass the bag. As he is about to escape with one piece of candy, another devoted friend appears and confiscates that! But the sound of the bell brings an end to his protests, and another of our good times in the busy store is over. ELIZABETH HERBERT, '18, A TWO-DAY CAMPING TRIP IN THE MOUNTAINS T was Uirrigating week , and Thursday evening my father said that we would go up the canyon, if we had finished by noon Saturday. We worked very hard, for going up the canyon was a great treat after working in the sun all week. On Saturday father said, I cannot help you this morning, for I have to put up the 'grub' for the next two days. We did not mind this, as we knew he would have a fine box of provi- sions ready when we left. It took us just one hour to finish that morning, then we turned the horses into the corral and proceeded to fix the wagon which had been scrubbed the evening before. First we covered the bot- tom with hay enough for the horses for two days, and then we got out a box full of bedding and put it under the driver's seat. My father now called us, and we brought out the provision box. This box was one we had constructed ourselves. It had places built on the sides for frying pans, silver, cakes and all such things, and when Charlie and I picked it up it felt as if it weighed a ton. At last, when everyone was ready, with my mother on the saddle- pony Buck, we started. The horses knew where they were going, and 193 they immediately started to trot, for they liked to go there just as well as the rest of us. They continued to trot until we came to the sharp in- cline, up the side of which they had to struggle slowly. Upon reaching the first ford of the Big Tejungaf, Charlie and I left the wagon, to hike the rest of the way to camp. We stopped as we had done many times before to admire the view. At our feet was the river running and rioting over the rocks, and op- posite us, beyond that, was a great, tall cliff, with pine trees. Wherever there was a chance for their roots to get a hold on the rocks, growing right out of the walls, and crowning the cliff were great pines, some of them from five hundred to a thousand years old. . Well, while we have been standing here, we have allowed the wagon to pass us, and now we can hear nothing of it, so we must hurry up and catch it. So we struck out at a fast pace, but could not catch it until we arrived where they had camped. We unharnessed the horses, while my father made lunch ready. We sat down at the table made out of logs, split in half, and put up on stakes. But the table was laden with things that will satisfy any hungry man's appetite, and a number of delicacies beside. There was a whole loaf of bread sliced, an onion sliced, coffee, preserves and jellies of diierent kinds, with a pail of milk in the center. We had finished the cut bread and half a loaf beside, when father brought out two pies, two cakes, some cup cakes, and some doughnuts, and asked which we would have. The answer came, Doughnuts, Cup Cakes, Pie, Cake, A little of everything. And a little of everything is what we received. After this hearty meal we took blankets and lay down to sleep. Along in the middle of the afternoon we woke up and went swimming. First, however, we had to build a dam to keep the water deep enough to swim in. We had a fine time splashing around in the water until nearly sup- per time, then we went back to camp to get supper ready. This meal was but a repetition of the noon one, with a little more than we had had then, for we had a whole panful of sauerkraut and wieners besides. It was now getting dark, and we hung out the lantern we had brought with us, and father brought out a deck of cards, and we played Rum for an hour or so, and then being very sleepy, went to bed. During the night we were disturbed once by a wild cat prowling around for meat, but a shot sent him scooting off. Another time the roars of a mountain lion awoke us, and a third time a pack of coyotes howling of across the river. Taken altogether, it was very peaceful, and we did not wake up again until the sunlight streaming in our faces forced us to. For breakfast we had pancakes, bacon, and eggs. After breakfast some went swimming, others took walks into one of the side canyons. I went swimming and stayed in until dinner time, but upon reaching camp. found no one was there, for the others had not returned from their walk, so I took a book and lay down and read until they arrived, tired and hot, while I was cool. We now had dinner, a big meal, cold, fried rabbit, milk, coffee, bread, jelly and jam g in fact, the remnants of the other meals, for father said we did not want to take much of this back with us. After dinner we Hxed three tin plates with the food, which was left, and called the dogs, of whom there were three, Old Buster, who is as old as I am, Dan, and a little pup, Nibs. About three o'clock, after everybody had had his swim, we loaded the wagon and started for home. ADDISON WELLS. 194 THE PALL A heavy pall hangs o'er the sky, The birds fly 'round for shelter.

DON SIGUEL CC ND you believe that dumb animals have reasoning power and mem- ory ?', I asked Graydon Field, a veteran of the Spanish-American War. ' Indeed I do, he replied. But, do you know any facts to prove your statement ? I inquired. At this question Field looked pained. He was silent a moment, and then spoke thoughtfully. Yes, I do know something, he said, and if you care to listen to the story of Don Siguel, I think I can prove my point. I assented eagerly, and he continued: To begin, I was, as you know, born on a horse farm in Virginia, and when I was but eight years old, my father gave me a thoroughbred colt, whose father was the famed Don Juan, and whose mother was Lady Siguel. At my father's suggestion I named the colt 'Don Siguelf I took great pleasure in raising Don, and the best times of my life I had with him. Every morning before breakfast we went for a long trot up the valley. Then, in the afternoon, whether hunting, fishing or visit- ing, I rode Don. We grew very fond of one another, and at my whistle Don would come at a gallop. When I was seventeen, a more splendid horse than Don did not exist in the entire country. He was coal-black, except a white spot on his forehead, and one white ankle. 196 When the call to arms came in '98, I was one of the first to apply for a place in Roosevelt's celebrated group of 'Rough Riders,' and I was accepted. Of course, I chose Don for my mount during the campaign, and we set out for Tampa, Florida. I think there was never a happier pair than Don and I when I un- locked the stuffy box-car and led him out onto the platform at Tampa. I expected to take an active part in the campaign at once, but I learned we would not embark for Cuba for at least two months. Then followed weeks of drill and, owing to his skill and grace in all maneuver, Don was given the position of pivot horse. At last the long weeks of drill were over, and Don and I were sepa- rated for the first time in many months, for the men and horses were transported in different ships. I expected to see Don in twenty-four hours, but, to my consternation, we were ordered to advance to San Juan imme- diately, and could not await the arrival of our horses. Much disappointed, I selected another horse which proved to be great- ly inferior to Don, and we set off to take San Juan Hill. Well, as you know, I was wounded there and taken to a hospital at Havana, and re- mained there till the end of the war. When I was released I spent my time in a frantic hunt for Don. The horses were not listed with the name of the owner, and this made my search difficult. Not finding him in Cuba, I hastened to Tampa, where I had been informed all the horses whose masters were missing had been sent to be auctioned off. Here I learned that a horse answering to Don's description had been sold at what I thought was an insultingly low price, to a Northerner about two months before. I consulted shipping records, but could learn nothing. Hundreds of horses had been shipped north. Then perceiving that further search would be useless, I went home probably the most sorrowful man in the county. Then followed ten long years, during which I heard nothing of Don. One day I received word from my former commander to report at Boston, Mass., for a reunion drill. Three days later I bivouaced on Bos- ton Common with my old comrades. That night while I lay in my tent memories of good old Don came back to me, and I felt sick at heart. Next morning I attended to the horse which had been allotted to me, and at the assembly we took our places in line, mine being at the end, as of old. Then we awaited further orders. Suddenly, behind us, we heard a great clatter, and shouts of 'Runaway' were heard on all sides. Glancing around, I saw, coming straight toward us, an old black horse, pulling a milk wagon. On he came, and I thought that he would break through our line. But when he was only about twenty-five yards away, he swerved to the right, and pulled up milk wagon and all alongside of me. Looking down at him, I saw that he had a white left rear ankle. 'Could it be Don ?' I thought, and a great hope rose in my breast. Puckering my lips, I ut- tered that long drawn-out whistle with which I used long ago to call Don. The horse pricked up his ears, and turned his head toward me, and then I saw the white star on his forehead. It was Don! I jumped from my horse, and in a twinkling stood at Don's head, and began to call him the pet names which I used to use, and he showed his appreciation by play- fully nipping my shoulder. Don had, no doubt, on hearing the bugle-cali for assembly, rushed from the spot where his master left him while deliv- ering milk to his old place at pivot. I bought Don from his owner, and after the reunion shipped him back to my father's farm in Virginia, where you may be sure he received the best of care. Graydon paused, then continued, Well, do you think that proves my point ? RUSSELL NALL, '19. 197 TO MY LASSIE ! Oh! lassie, tell me, tell me, do, Oh! why are you so shy? For you have made me feel so blue, Since first I caught your eye. Your eyes of brown and flaxen hair, Beyond compare are they. Your dimples make you, oh, as fair As dawn of perfect day. Your beauty is not just skin deep, Your soul is pure and white, And from you I my joy do reap, Oh, you entrance me. quite! But, lassie, tell me, tell me, why, Why can't I take you out? If you'd say, Yes, and not be shy, For joy you'd hear me shout. So, lassie, be not bashful more, But listen to my plea, For only you do I adore, You, in my dreams, I see. RONALD J. BROWN, '18. WHAT'S IN A NAME? CC HAT'S that noise '? asked the Freshman. Just a meeting of a literary club, volunteered the Sen- ior by way of contribution to the general education of the Freshman. Is it a rehearsal for a mob scene, an extemporaneous strike or the end of the literary program ? queried the Sophomore. They must have some big debates in there, piped up the Freshman. They do, responded the Junior, on the vital, all-absorbing subject of dances, and about that only. i'You mean on whether they should give one, or not ? further ques- tioned the Freshman. No, on the price, replied the Junior. '4But why call it a literary club, and why dig up a name from the ruins of Troy if they don't have any literary stuff? asked the Sophomore. Oh, said the Senior, go ask Solomon-but I dunno if he could tell. Well, believe me, began the Sophomore, if I ever get in one of those clubs, I'm going to do my best to either give it a civilized name, or make it live up to its present name. Q The Senior licked his lips. The Junior openly laughed, he had already had some experience with clubs. The oracle was about to speak. The Senior cleared his throat. They are all right in spite of their names, he began, and a few of them live up to their names, although some do not. Like a rhyme I once knew, ending, 'When she was good, She was very, very good. And when she was bad, she was horrid? Well, the clubs are something like her. But I think they ought to have names that reflect their true purpose. HI think I'll go home, said the Sophomore. W. G.

Whilst each separate dying ember Throws its ghost upon the floor, Let me pause but to remember That which makes my heart so sore. Oh, my loved one! how Weary, Oh, how desolate I am! On this world is nothing cheery- Oh, it was not-it is but sham! Thou wert frail and yet thou held'st me By thy soft, persuasive touch, Oh, but what a blow thou deal'st me! Me, whom they did praise so much. In the fire of great affliction, In the time when I was bent, Desperation, malediction! Thou perfidious wast rent! Oh, my vest coat, oh, my vest coat! Thou didst up with crackling sound! And because thou wert my best coat In my heart I feel the wound. Had it been but on a Monday! 'Twould be light to make amends, But, alas! 'twas on a Sunday, And was I among my friends. HereiI weep within my corner, Here I bathe my soul in tears, Here I am a sunken mourner, For the Sabbath slowly nears.

THE MIGHTY SENIOR AM in my first year at high school. The upper-classmen call me flat I don't know why they do this when the name freshmen is a lot nicer. Of course I think sophomore is a lot nicer still because sophomores seem to know so much. However, there is a senior who sits next to me in a study-room. He is a very big young man. He doesn't seem to be aware of my existence until he wants something. Then he leans boldly across the aisle and punches me in the ribs and says, Got a sheet of perfection, Freshie ? I immediately open my nice new perfection cover and slily slip three or four sheets across the aisle. When my neighbor wishes to use the dictionary, he stalks across the floor, making a great deal of noise. I timidly glance up at the teacher to see if this young man is going to be reproved. The teacher looks up, but, when she sees who it is, she immediately goes to work again. Of course whispering and passing notes are not allowed, but I have seen this Senior do both with a Junior girl who sits in front of him. One morning my neighbor came in, looking very sleepy. After yawn- ing and gapping several times, he reached into his pocket, took something out and tossed it over the Junior's shoulder. I watched and as the girl picked it up I saw these words on the front, Senior Formal Program. Then I heard the Senior declare that he could wear evening clothes forever and not become uncomfortable. This young man is frequently called out of the room. I don't know where he goes, but I believe that he is quite popular down at the office. I have heard it said that a person feels the smallest and most insig- nificant when gazing at the sky filled with stars. This is not true in my case. The time when I feel the smallest and most unimportant of creatures is when I gaze at this mighty Senior, and sit in the dark shadow which he casts.

The thundering report of the Sunrise Gun, followed by the blowing of reveille, awakens our friend, the second-year cadet, to the realization that another day has begun. Though the day, be cold, he dare not linger in bed but must instantly rise, don a bathing suit, still damp from the swimming of the previous afternoon, and, shivering, hasten to the parade ground for reveille exercises. Fifteen minutes of vigorous exercise, the run to the lake, the icy plunge and the rush back, take all vestiges of sleep from his eyes and dullness from his brain. Having hastily dressed, the cadet, with the aid of his tentmate, puts the tent in order for Police Inspection. To be prepared for the inspection the tent must be thoroughly cleaned and everything neatly arranged. This being done, the tentmates remain under the fly of the tent until the camp has been inspected. Then the cadet hurries to break- fast formation from which the troop marches to breakfast. After breakfast he has ten minutes respite until classes begin. Cae- sar's cavalry on the Sabis river causes him trouble the first period, and for the next two periods he has more acute pain in rough riding. This is merely jolting, jumping, turning and twisting on and over his horse's back. His fourth period is study. He renews his acquaintance with Cae- sar the fifth, and then relaxes in the sixth hour, which is study. Dinner comes after the sixth period. After dinner the reports of delinquencies are published, and these, if he has any, must be answered. If a sufficient excuse is not forthcoming so many demerits are chalked up against him. Demerits are given ac- cording to the enormity of the offence. If he has no reports to answer there is half an hour at his disposal until afternoon drill. Afternoon drill is an hour and a half of sweating agony in a dusty field under a broiling sun. To make matters worse, should the lieutenant be in bad humor and displeased with the drill he gives an extra ten minutes of trotting, in the dirtiest place he can find, with the stirrups crossed over the pommel of the saddle. The only other way to derive the sensation experienced in riding that way, is to ride on the hood of a Ford going over a rough road. The swimming period comes after drill and is looked forward to with keen anticipation. Swimming over, our friend has a few minutes of leisure before supper. Being an old man or second-year fellow, he may join a gathering of old men and summon a plebe, who corresponds to our flat, and require him to furnish amusement. Or, perhaps, he and his friends will listen to a victrola, of which there are always several in camp. At first call for supper, he hastens to formation. At formation all stand at attention while the adj utant gives the detail for the morrow. When the command Sound off is given, the battalion stands at parade rest while the band plays, and when the band stops, while the bugler blows retreat. At the end of retreat, the f'Sunset Gun is fired, the battalion is called to attention, and the band plays The Star-Spangled Banner, while Old Glory is being lowered. The battalions are then marched to the mess hall, the band playing a patriotic medley. Supper over, the cadet has until Call to Quarters, which blows at seven-thirty, to roam the campus at will. He may visit either the candy shack, Y. M. C. A. or the library. C. Q. lasts until nine o'clock. During this time letters may be written, lessons studied or books read. Tattoo sounds at nine o'clock, and for fifteen minutes he may visit his neighbors. But he must be in his room by nine-fifteen and in bed by nine-thirty. At this time lights must be out. Taps is sounded, and all is peace and quiet.

H31 203 THE NEW YEAR'S CELEBRATION NE evening during the Christmas holidays I received an invitation to be the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Esmond on New Yearls even- ing. Indeed, I readily and gladly accepted, for I had become a close friend of the Esmonds, though I had known them but a few months. I was, therefore, in very good spirits, when I was admitted by the tall, dignified butler, since I was anticipating a quiet and restful evening with my good friends., Imagine my surprise on beholding the long draw- ing-room iilled with people. Mrs. Esmond greeted me with her ever-ready smile. As she was telling me that many of my acquaintances were pres- ent, Mr. Sohrab and his father came up to us. Both of these I had known quite Well in my first year at the little town of Hischul. After greetings had been exchanged, I excused myself to speak to Silas Marner, I had spied him sitting alone on a divan at the other side of the room. While I was moving toward him, I suddenly came face to face with Duke Comus. Never could I bear to converse at length with him, but I stood it gra- ciously, as I did not wish to displease such a person. The statement that he was seeking his Lady was, on my part, received with a sigh of relief. Many had been the pleasant as well as instructive hours spent with Silas Marner, and that evening, likewise, I learned much from the queer old man. During the course of the evening Miss Phcnbe Pyncheon favored us with a few solos, playing her own accompaniment on the harpsicord. All were greatly attracted to her, especially Mr. Julius Cxsar and Mr. Ham- let, who made themselves very conspicuous by their attentions to her. Sir Ivanhoe and his charming wife, Rowena, appeared late in the evening and held the attention of all for quite a while. I also discovered that Sir Roger de Coverley was present, and he told me, after his frank manner, the latest news as to the WidoW's health and how his advances had again failed. As I passed through the library when dinner was announced, a gen- tleman rising from the library table addressed me. I was put into an embarrassing position, for I could not recall his face. Noticing my dis- composure, he kindly informed me, as we proceeded to the dining-room, that his name was Mr. Greek Mythology. At dinner I found myself greatly honored in having on my left Mr. Daniel Webster, who acted as toast-master. Among the many toasts was one to Mr. Washington, one to the beauty of the fair Rosalind, and another to the honorable Samuel Johnson. Mr. Wamba, the society clown, enter- tained us with a story of one of Robin Hood's adventures. At midnight Mirth, with her crew, sweet Liberty, Jollity, and Laughter, holding both his sides, presented a short play to usher in the New Year. About two o'clock the crowd began to depart, and I know all had had a very delightful time, unless, perhaps, the melancholy Jacques. EVA MAE SWINGLE, '18. 204 IN THE FAR NORTH URING the last few years, and more particularly since the war in Europe, we have often heard the slogan- See America First. This I take to mean, not only our own United States, but the whole of North America. One of the most beautiful spots I know is in Northern Canada where I spent the greater part of my vacation this year. This is in the Lake of Bays district, near Algonquin National Park. From our cottage we often took short camping trips of several days' duration into the park, which is really a very delightful country. One trip of especial beauty can be made in a day to Clear Lake. For this trip word went around that four guides were available, so a party of twelve in four canoes, including a guide in each, left one bright, sunny morning for Clear Lake. The guides were to carry the canoes and cook the two meals. We made a short portage from Dwight to Cooper's Lake, then a two mile portage, which was hardest of all, -to Long Lake, tramping through bracken shoulder high. The trails were crossed with moss-covered logs and it was an odd sight to see the guides, their heads and shoulders hid- den by the canoes, following the trail, our party bringing up the rear with the all-important provisions for the meals. We paddled through seven lakes, all of them gems, lying deep in the wooded hills, Cooper's, Long, Little Twin, Big Twin, Crotch, Buck, Iinally reaching Clear Lake about noon. There we had a most excellent dinner, supplemented by lake trout caught and prepared by the guides. We spent several pleasant hours, resting and roaming through the woods. We were particularly interested in a huge beaver dam which was for most of us a novel sight. All too soon came time for the return trip, but it was necessary for us to make all portages through the deep woods before dark. We stopped on Long Lake at a log hunting lodge for tea. We made our last portage at dusk and the trail was getting very dim in the shad- ows. As we paddled across the last lake we could hear the weird cry of the loons, and looking back saw a deer crash away through the woods.

After next hour, in which I recite Mathematics, I shall be free for an hour. Let's get a sandwich at Hayden Hall, and while we're eating it, I'll tell you about the building. It was a dormitory until Floral Mather House, which we passed on our way from Euclid, was built. It is now given over to the town girls. On the third floor the clubs have their headquarters, and on the second floor each class has a room. The cafeteria and study are down here. During the day the Study is used to lounge in or as a place in which to study. At night sing-outs and parties are often held there. Next to Flora Mather House, i In our 'gym,' oh, sweet retreat, Six times a week or more, You'll find us in our suits so neat, A-mopping up the floor. Guilford House is another dormitory. We must wander toward Clark Hall now, for that is Where my His- tory class recites. When that class is over I am through for the day. Many of the girls, however, especially the Household Administration stuf dents, or Ha-Ha girls, have afternoon classes or laboratory work. On Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday-yes, we have school on Satur- day-my schedule is different. I arrive in time for chapel and have Latin and English at nine-thirty and eleven-thirty, respectively. On Tuesday I have Bible at ten-thirty. 206 But school on Saturday is the one disagreeable feature-besides study- ing-of the college. We hope that sometime, perhaps the Students' Asso- ciation, by which we are governed, will abolish Saturday recitations. Un- til then we attend school every Saturday. Before you go wonit you join us in one big Slvetlioi? Here are the words-come on, everybody: h Old Sketlioi, pompai, foo, foo, apoluai! Az, az, az, az! Rah, wah, mit, mit, Reserves! ELIZABETH WOODBURY, '20. Feb. '16, E. H. S. W. R. U. TO THE GIRLS OF EAST HIGH FROM VASSAR HE big pines outside my window are weighed down with clinging snow. As the light fails, the outlines of the library across the cam- pus grow shadowy, mystic, mediwval. The lights begin to glimmer through the leaded panes of the big Gothic windows-first the wavering gold ones, then, one by one, the green shaded table lamps. Green and gold and gray, and the faint glow of the western sky through the pines, and now the stars, and the clear, cold wind, and the free, wide night. We have a beautiful campus here, and are rural enough for the great- est country-lover, yet close to the borders of a wide-awake little city. Should you ask about the college life, I should say it is primarily a coun- try life, which you can exchange for a city one in twenty-odd minutes. And yet it is a characteristic of Vassar that in spite of the great freedom allowed the students, the life is essentially an on-campus one for the majority of the girls, a fact due, doubtless, to the completeness of the round of interests directly within the college. There are, of course, ath- letics of every form, the year round: tennis, field-hockey, soccer, basket- ball, swimming, skating, coasting, skiing, snow-shoeing, in-door and out-- door track, ice-hockey, rowing, canoeing-there was even a football game on Thanksgiving day. Of course the gymnasium is well-equipped, and all forms of in-door work are very popular. In addition to athletic opportunities, the girls are continually offered the chance to hear lectures, concerts, plays, etc., directly within the col- lege. The week-ends are especially gay. Friday night there is always a lecture or concert-and by the way, you will find up here that a lecture is a matter of interest and a real recreation to the girls, not merely in- structive and a duty. That is because the lecturers and their subjects are so universally interesting. Wednesday, from 4:45 to 5:35 P. M., is a regular period for a talk or informal concert by some outsider. The entertainment offered is varied, and takes the place of that movie that you feel you simply must attend to break the monotony of the week's work. The girls themselves give plays and concerts, and you will have plenty of opportunity here to display your talents in musical, dramatic, or liter- ary lines as well as in athletics. Song and cheer-leaders are in demand. Choir and glee club are open to freshmen. The Miscellany Monthly wants contributions, the Miscellany News reporters. Everything is won by try-outs, on the elimination plan. Whatever you can do, you will have a chance to do here, if you can do it better than the girl next to you. And the girl next to you is sure to be so good that you are going to have to do it very hard, to be recognized as able. The spirit of the 207 Vassar girls can be summed up, I think, in two words: try out ! It is an ambitious spirit, not selfishly, but healthily ambitious, and it extends even to the academic side of college, which, after all, has some place in college life, though you see little of it in books like Betty Wales. And that, by the Way, is a question I have been asked several times: Do the girls who enter fully into the extra-academic activities do their work? And I can answer it by saying that without exception every one of the biggest celebs in the Senior class this year made Phi Beta Kappa last week-girls who acted and led cheers, and were class-presidents and de- baters and 'varsity athletes and editors and a thousand and one other things. So you see! These are but a few of the things you may want to know about college before you come. If any of you have any questions of any variety in mind or would like to know more about any phase of the college life here, I hope you will write to me, and I shall do my best to answer satisfactorily. I should be very glad to know all of you who are coming, or hoping to come here. P MARION E. GLUECK, '16, A MESSAGE FROM O. S. U. HE greatest surprise awaiting the freshman girl as she enters the Ohio State University, is the almost unlimited freedom al- lowed her. This freedom is not an oversight on the part of the faculty, but is intended to develop self-reliance and individual responsibil- ity, and it consequently extends not only into the social life, but into the class room. In the first place, there is no one anywhere on the campus whose ex- clusive business it is to make you do anything you do not wish to do. You do not have to go to classes, you know, if you decide you vvouldrather not. In straying through university halls you will not encounter teachers who ask embarrassing question as to where you are supposed to be that hour. Your new boon companions will experience no conscience prickings when they invite you to accompany them to the nearest soda fountain during an hour when you are so unfortunate as to have a previous engage- ment with some unmercifully dull professor. Why should they? They are not heir to your grades, nor can you force them to take your examina- tions for you when that awful day arrives. No, you will take your own examinations, and if you have absented yourself more than once or twice from a certain class the chances are you will not pass that course. Ab- solutely, you cannot do good work if you do not go to classes regularly. Even if you are so exceptionally bright as to get a Just passing grade, you will not be given full credit for that course, and the University does not confer degrees on a person with just P, Of course you expect to have a good time. Every girl who enters the university anticipates that. Well, you will have a much better time, in the end, if you keep just one day ahead of your work. Now before you call me a grandma and stop reading, listen a minute. If you keep always one day behind in your work you get in an awful mess near the end of the term, you probably know that from experience. If you keep just in pace with assignements, every time you want to go out, you have to give them a Lick and a Promise. But, if you are ahead a bit, you can always accept eleventh hour invitations to hear Chin Chin, or any other delightful opportunity which comes your way. Learn to do your studying for its own sake. To do it for your teachers will be wasted energy. You will only be called on once in every ten days or two weeks. Just get the 208 habit of getting it off your hands at the earliest opportunity, and you will be the happiest soul in your house in January. You can sleep the sleep of the just and the innocent all through examination week. Outside the class room you will be practically free to go when and where you please and with whom you please. This arrangement is very convenient, but it may become very unfortunate. If you are a girl with high ideals you will have to be always on the defensive to maintain them. Why? Well, because no one will respect your standards the least bit more than you indicate that you regard them. In a school of five or six thou- sand people, it is impossible that there will not be many students whose ideas of right and wrong will be totally different from yours. However, this is no indication that yours are not worthy of support. It is worth while to be a lady even when you enjoy the honor in solitary grandeur. If I were again just entering the university I should make up my mind just what things I would do and what I preferred not to do, and then I should stick to that list through the wilderness and the Red Sea. Get over the idea that your life depends on your being accommodating. It does not. Be firm and you will make people who care anything about you conform to your wishes. The university is not a particularly good place for the girl who is going to school to get a husband. Unlike some colleges, Ohio State does not make a practice of issuing degrees and marriage licenses simultan- eously. JOSEPHINE HIDY, '15. lllL.ll. . BRYN MAWR COLLEGE OU say that you want to hear about Bryn Mawr College. I'll do my best to tell you about it. There are about four hundred undergradu- ates and sixty some graduates who live in the six halls of residence, holding a definite percentage of each class. These halls form approximate- ly two sides of a quadrangle. One other side is formed by the Library and the President's house. The other side is formed by Senior Row, a row of trees that leads to the lower campus, where there are three hockey fields, eight tennis courts and basketball fields and a skating pond. The faculty houses are in this direction. The country around the college is very nice, semi-inhabited. The col- lege lies thirteen miles from Philadelphia, and, therefore, we often go to the city on Saturdays. The rooms at the college are rather large and well prepared. Over half of the rooms are single rooms or single suites. The rest are all double suites. Each hall has a dining-room, usually quite good looking. We have several organizations. There is the Christian Association, which has charge of the charities and the religious meetingsg Self-Govern ment, the Undergraduate Association, and, last, but not least, Athletics. This takes charge of the hockey in the fall, skating and water polo in the winter, and basketball in the spring. Beside these sports we have required gymnasium twice a week. There are a good many more expenses during the first of the Fresh- man year than at any other time. It is advisable to get a catalogue of the courses and go through it carefully before coming. The required courses when you get to college are one year of Latin, two years of English, one year of Philosophy and Psychology, and two years of any science or one of science and history. 209 LAKE ERIE COLLEGE HE first building one reaches by the front entrance is the oldest Col- lege Hall. It contains the offices of administration, the dining-room, Social Hall, and living-rooms for the faculty and students. Con- nected with this building is Memorial Hall, in which are the chapel and the rooms of the department of music, studios, practice rooms and the music library. Bentley Science Hall includes class rooms, laboratories, a lecture-room in which one department gives informal plays, and the studios of the art department. The most recent building on the campus is Murray Library, for whose stacks and blazing wood-fire one soon acquires affection and pride. This spring, ground will be broken for two new buildings, a dormitory and a gymnasium, for which trustees, alumnae, and students have been eagerly working. Greer House, the house of the president, Harrington House, a faculty house, and a third, the house of the retired president and dean, border on the campus proper. The campus is beautiful in a way only possible for a college not in a large city, it comprises thirty acres, and includes the front campus, a large athletic field, and a grove of several acres. There are many trees on the college grounds. The athletic field is bordered with tnem, and they keep the wind from being too keen for fall hockey practices. They shade the rolling front campus and ofer a background for pageants like the one we gave last spring, and the oaks in the grove give the heavy oak-chain which the juniors carry on their shoulders on Tree Day in Commencement Week. Our recreations are out-of-doors very largely. Athletics are our pride and joy. Hockey and tennis in the fall, gymnasium, basketball, coasting, skating and hitching in the winter, and tennis, archery and our prime favorite, track, in the spring, keep everyone interested and busy. After classes one wishes for a tennis racquet and trots through the cool grove to the courts or on to the track field. The unorganized sports are popu- lar, toog long tramps across the country to Moody's Hollow or to a sup- per at the lake. There a congenial crowd cooks steak over a wood-fire and sings until the stars come out. We have a Self-Government Association, a Glee Club, a Drama Club, a Y. W. C. A., a literary society, lectures, artists' recitals, dances, the most important of which is Prom, receptions, teas, Vesper Services with splen- did speakers and all the many-sided opportunities and interests of college life. Best of all, we have friendships, lasting and enduring, with every type of interesting girl from Texas and from Maine and from in-between. In short, if you Want every varied experience and every phase of devel- opment condensed into four busy, happy, vital years, come to our Lake Erie College. ELEANOR FARNHAM, E. H.

Defending the negative of this question, the East High School debating team met the strong and experienced representatives of West Technical on the evening of Friday, February twenty-third, in the East Auditorium: The blue and gold 'varsity consisted of Robert Rosewater, Leader, Stanley Dale, Donald Harbaugh, and Wheeler Lovell, Alternate. The speakers for West Technical were Albert May, Leader, Leonard Mei- lander, Louis Florian, and Ralph Johnson, Alternate. From the opening constructive argument of the affirmative until the very end of the final refutation, a hotly-contested forensic contest was staged, and intense suspense prevailed until the opinions of the judges 211 were announced. The argument was featured by an extensive use of charts by both teams. The strongest point for the negative was very adequately presented by a large banner, prepared through the kindness of Miss Bennett, upon Which were displayed all the election results since the early campaigns of the nineteenth century. Though the decision of the judges was in favor of the aiiirmative, East has every reason to be proud of her representatives.

How- ever, upon being questioned as to the cause of these unforesen ac- tions, we are sorry to state that our brother was quite abashed and was really unable to furnish a substantial excuse. Fearing that he had suddenly been taken ill a consultation of teachers wise- ly sent him home at once. We regret his absence and hope that he will soon again enlighten our company with his former self. WORTH YOUR WHILE. Owing to the seemingly slack co-operative spirit in regard to this, our representative school- publication, the number of ad- vertisements has been reduced to an inconspicuousity entirely out of keeping with the former reputation of the school. It was therefore decided at the last teachers' meeting that, in order to arouse the lagging enthusiasm, anyone obtaining two cents worth of advertising for the year would be passed unconditionally in all subjects. What a fine op- portunity this is for those who, if they had not devoted their life to attending Tsae, would un- doubtedly be grandparents by this time. IN THE HOSPITAL. Eprov Nhoj is in the hospital recuperating from a serious case of shock sustained in a mix-up with several ruifians the other night when he was returning home peacefully from a school function. It seems that he was attacked from the rear but, bravely controlling his surprise, he succeeded in securing one of the assailant's weapons with which he put them to rout. Upon closer examination of the instru- ment it proved to be a hat-pin. 2 THE GLUE AND BO LD THE GLUE AND BOLD. De luxe Edition.

No doubt everyone has heard of the recent uprising in one of the most honorable and respected clubs of the school. We have our own clearly defined views on the matter but as we desire to re- main on amicable terms with all in the school we would first solicit an expression of others' opinions before venturing an editorial.

The AII Class very unexpect- edly brought their business to a close, at their last meeting, in a most orderly manner. It is re- markable that this year there was none of the customary hair- pulling and eye-gouging. Jake Zimmerrnan's new barn is to be the place for the dance. Every- body is invited. Bids may be ob- tained for two small potatoes and an onion at the door. No charge for extra gentleman. Class pins were ordered early. They are to be manufactured from large red bricks draped in mother-of-pearl and set in brass. The design is conventional. Any- one having the price may obtain one. The contract for the gradua- tion announcements has already been let out to The Acme Foun- dry Co. Their delivery is ex- pected within a few months. A sample of the same has been ap- proved. Pot-metal letters appear in relief on a sheet-iron back- round. g After acting on several other incidentals the assembled com- pany joined in chanting their class hymn and were adjourned by the sergeant-at-arms. Mr. Htims Leirbag assures Miss Ekooc Serolod that after graduation she may dispense with all punctuation if she so desires but' that, at present, it is ex- pedient for her to make frequent use of her comma and period sprinkling cans. YOUNG LADIES' BASKET- BALL. Two teams of the misses' basketball tournament clashed a week ago in vicious mortal strife. Luckily only two were killed at this game but none of the others of either team is expected out of the hospital before three weeks. VVe are glad to note the decrease in casualties. GENTLEMEN'S ACTIVITIES. The Young Men's Sewing Circle had the pleasure of listening, last Friday, to a most interesting lee- ture on The Futility of Work- ing Dutch Windmills in Irish Lace by the eminent crochet artist, Howard Hopewell Hard- ing. The knitting bees, instituted for the relief of the girls at the back, are at present enjoying large attendances.

Mr. Hsiar: Please, please sit down before I lose patience! WHICH WAY DOES IT WORK? Mr. Etluhcs: Some of these ,young lads over here are trying to make us believe that they are girls by the form of their recrea- tions. WHY NOT? We note that recently, follow- ing a serious accident near Los Angeles, that all mules in that vicinity are obliged to wear tail- lights after dark. We would sug- gest a similar measure for all pupils on account of the dusky hall-ways of the building. NEWS FROM THE CAPITOL. The newly organized parliament in our school is getting down to business. No new laws have as yet been passed but the Anti Flirtation Act passed the House with a vote of 1,154-63. It is to be hoped that the Senate acts as favorably and that our Presi- dent will appreciate his office enough to avow his approval. The new bill of Senator Yenrib NVerdna for equal suffrage is now under heated discussion. LISTEN!

EQUAL RIGHTS. While there is so much talk of equal rights in school, I just want to mention a little matter which I think has been over- looked. It is this-the right of boys to take part in the mantle oration. From a standpoint of art, of beauty, of dignity and manli- ness, what could be more im- pressive than a senior boy clad in the blue and gold mantle? I don't think that there ought to be a girl cheer-leader until a boy takes part in the mantle oration. Vox pueri. Equal Rights fThe other Sidej VVould someone please tell me why we couldn't have a girls' fire lighting team? I can see no reason against having one. I'm sure it isn't unwomanly to light the fires Qsuch was one of the reasons given in opposition to a girl sergeant-at-arms.j Neither are girls unfit physically for striking matches Cgirls are not strong enough to take much part in athletics, you know.j On the other hand, I can see many reasons in favor of such a project. To light the fires of the building each morning would broaden a girl 's mind, giving her a wider knowledge of the many important subjects on which household debates are held. De- bating would teach her the art of speaking well, it would in- crease her vocabulary, and it would accelerate her lower jaw movement. Thus you see what a manifold blessing a girls' fire lighting team would be. I think that such a project would succeed, as all through the ages woman has been known to split the kindling. I am sure a great number of girls would jump at the chance of having a girls' fire lighting team, as girls are in- clined to get up early in the morning, anyway. Also we girls would like a chance to represent our school in something. Rellaw Yma. Editor 's note: Owing to the in- creasing size of the manuscripts of those participating in this dis- cussion, to our neutrality in the question, and to the high cost of paper we shall have to ask any future polite arguers to kind- ly pay for their articles by the inch.

Have you any explanation to offer? Yeldnif L. Niwde. I don't wonder you are trou- bled about the A I class.

There has been much discus- sion of late as to the difference in meaning of the two common words broke and busted Again we are glad to be a means of enlightenment. The former denotes a condition of affairs in which the exact valuation of your available property amounts to ex- actly one car-ticket. The latter. however, means that your liabil- ities amount to something over ten dollars while your total assets consist of front and rear collar- buttons. 230 MEMOIR. We believe, from the fact that the lunch room places ham sand- wiches upon exhibition, that the aforesaid establishment must have given sustinence to a mem- ber of the Swine family. VVe judge, from the delicacy with which the remains are dealt, that His Hamship must have been much beloved and, therefore, we offer, with commiseration our deepest sympathy to a bereaved house.

During the argument Mr. Haber used an illustration, and this is what happened: If you went into a candy store and bought a penny's worth of candy and paid for it with your own penny, would that be all right? asked Mr. Haber. Sure, answered the Flat. But if you went down the street, continued Mr. Haber, and stole a penny to pay for the candy, would that be all right? Yes, said the Flat, if you got away with it. HARRIET M. LUXTON, '19, In a grammar school from which one of us came there is a boy noted for general misbehavior and occasional wit. One day the teacher decided to lecture the scholars about doing one's duties well. She started by ad- dressing the boy. Mike, she said, whenever you do your work well, what reward do you always receive ? The boy rose promptly and looking at her squarely, replied: More work. HARRIET M. LUXTON. One day Mr. Findley stepped into Room 32 to speak to Mr. Hogan. A boy was attempting to recite an ill-prepared lesson. Mr. Findley quietly told Mr. Hogan that he would wait until the boy stopped talking. Oh, that's all right, replied Mr. Hogan, he isn't saying anything. During a study period in Room 13 a pupil started to tap his desk with a pencil, much to the annoyance of his fellow-students.

I 'Tis funny how We boys do dress, Quite funny 'tis indeed. Each week our trousers need a press, And Loud ties is our creed. Our sox are red, and sometimes green, Our shirts are startling quite, And oftentimes to girls they seem A most distressing sight. A hat of green or blue or brown Is now a sight quite old, While overcoats don't Weigh a poun' And don't keep out the cold. Our suits are tight as tight can be, Our hair Way up and back, While shoes quite pointed you do see, And glasses none would lack. But anyhow we're proud of this, We boys, of all the style, We like to doff to some cute miss And be returned a smile. So do you blame us for our style, You pessimistic guys? When from a miss we earn a smile, ,Tvvould make you ope' your eyes. RONALD Miss Budde What is the meaning of Hochzeit? Pupil . Why-a-high time. Miss Budde: What do you consider a high time?

The play is in two acts and tells the story of two families who were both bluHing their way along, but neither was aware of the oth- er's true position. One family was the household of a Hquack doctor, and the other that of a retired confectioner. The doctor's daughter was loved and wooed by the confectioner's son, and the parents met to ar- range the dowry and future for their children. The fathers, influenced by their wives, made arrangements for a dowry far beyond their means. 251 In the second act the Ratinois made elaborate preparations for a dinner party celebrating the engagement. In the midst of the hubbub Uncle Bob, an honest, unassuming old man, came and wiped all the dust from the eyes of the Malingears and Ratinois, and after a taste of the humble pie, they all lived happily ever after. The play was filled with humor from beginning to end. The poor abused husbands, the clever wives, the children, unconscious of their scheming parents, the tall, angular, awk- ward cook of the Malingear family, the queer upholsterer, the French caterer, the petite French maids, the butler in livery and the little coal- black, borrowed footman all added their share to the comedy. The char- acters were chosen by vote from the members of the preceding term's sen- ior oratory class. Everyone enjoyed the play hugely, and not enough praise can be given to the youthful actors and actresses and to the eflicient producer about whom so little is said, but upon whom so much depends, Miss O'Grady.

The ceremony began with the ap- pearance of the Spirit of East, who spoke in terms of praise of all who have done aught to win fame for the school. As the Spirit vanished music began, and to the strains of Pretty Baby, beautifully clad maidens appeared, singing the praises of the heroes. At the opposite side of stage appeared the youths, each of whom received his much desired emblem from the hands of a fair maiden. When the lesser heroes had received their rewards, the ceremonies concluded with the presentation of a Christmas greeting and tribute to the biggest hero here Who deserves a hearty cheer, Mr. Peck! 253 . isis. 12 42 I A ,TTS l E.

The plot interest centers in a family of girls, recently orphaned. Minette, the eld- est, is married and wealthy. Nan is on the stage, and the three younger sisters live at home in a big old-fashioned house in the country, and man- age to keep up appearances by the strenuous efforts of Jocelyn and her chickens. At Christmas time Nan comes home with no money, Minette suddenly appears, having left Tim, her husband, and Weeps over her own troublesg and to make matters worse, Mrs. Beckwith takes this occasion to inform the sisters that they owe her three hundred dollars. They are certain that their mother paid her, but they cannot find the receipt. Al- though the outlook is so gloomy, Jane and Jocelyn determine to be cheer- ful, and in a dream, a cunning little squirrel appears to Jocelyn and tells her the true meaning of Christmas. After all, Tim comes to Minette, and the climax comes when the receipt is found by the careless breaking of an old teapot by the loyal Gracious Ann Bean. To celebrate, all the neighbors and their children for miles around are called in, and after stories are told by Nick, Barney, the kindly Irishman, who believes in fairies, and Uncle J oab, they all leave, dancing to the music of Uncle J oab's fiddle.

' ' THE PATRIOTIC RALLY N Friday, March 23rd, East was indeed a lucky school, or, perhaps, it is only natural that such good fortune as visited the school on that day should have come to us. A gigantic rally was staged, the first under the School Board's plan for patriotic meetings in schools. What a program it was, thanks to those instrumental in arranging and making it possible! Whose ears did not twitch, and whose pace did not quicken when the first strains from the California Boys, Band filtered through Eastland? The platform was decorated appropriately with the Stars and Stripes, set off by many palms. The colors call was blown by James Upstill. Following came the school Hag ceremony of a salute, the pledge of allegiance, and the singing of' The Red, White, and Bluef' Mr. Lothman, Superintendent J. M. H. Frederick, and Board Mem- ber E. M. Williams spoke. Mr. Salem Hart also said a few words and sang his famous song, The Old Flag Never Touched the Ground, Boys. Then he showed how a drummer-boy veteran of the Civil War can make a drum talk. Throughout the program there were selections by the California Boys' Band, most interesting and entertaining, as evidenced by the enthusiasm of the school. The manager of the band gave an account of the organi- zation. Mr. Bascom Little delivered an 'faddressf' and the Rev. Mr. Martin- dale brought down the house with a speech full of patriotism and humor. Not the least, but the final number was the announcement by Su- perintendent Frederick that there would be no more school for the day- the best kind of a conclusion for our exercises and introduction to our week of vacation. 257 Y A f Z Ziff!! f Z A f , Q W Nl , .. .s.'4 1 ZA! i. . r , ' , , X., t,,,WA , ill A x ' will X ...fl i Harry W.

My sole companion was my Annual, A comrade that did surely stand me well, For when I'd really nothing more to say, The book before them I would open lay. You don't know what it means to daily pass Those guardian oflice boys with heads of brass, 264 To find the advertising chief engrossed With giving some poor other goose a roast. 'Tis then I'd stick my nerve into my eye, To keep it safe, the only reason why, And bravely would I oier to expound The virtue in om' book that could be found. With time my line of gab did slowly grow, Until my hearer felt ashamed of Noi I'd talk and talk until he said a word, And then he'd hear what he'd already heard, Until, in desperation, he would say, For three full pages I will gladly pay. I'm glad I met you, sir. I surely am, But when you leave, don't give the door a slam But I would like to have your signature, In order that you later may be sure To get the bill, which, then, you kindly pay. Upon this line.

The Biggest men and Women in the country supplemented their education with a commercial training. And invariably they attribute their success directly to their commercial training. ' Although you are planning to take a College course and later a professional course you will assure yourself of a better future if you take time for a. commercial training. THE SPENCER-IAN SCHOOL gives courses especially prepared to shape the High School Graduates education to meet the demand of the business world. In College life today the young man or Woman with a. commercial training has a decided advantage in getting one of the coveted places as manager of some of the athletics, of a club, or other college activity. The Spencerian Private Secretary Course is open to High School Graduates. 'It prepares for high grade secretarial positions. The graduates of this department are now holding positions of trust and honor that demand not only natural ability but also a broad training in all the principles of business.

Smith, Music Critic of the Cleveland Press. This critique appeared in the Cleveland Press on October l2g 1916.2 Let me state at the outset that this is not an ad, a boost or a boom. It is simply the statement of honest conviction-another in- stance of a man convinced against his will. I went to Grays Armory Wednesday night pretty well convinced that a machine was not the habitat of soul, that all mechanical con- trivances for the reproduction of music were at the best only an ap- proximation. that the soul of art could not be satisfactorily repro- duced, that personality and individuality were indigenous to humans. I came away thoroughly persuaded of my error and am willing to admit that there are quite a number of things concerning which I am in error--darkness. if you so wish to call it. My only redeem- ing quality is my willingness to be convinced. I might add, too, that such is one of the qualifications of a critic. XVhat I write about all happened at the concert given by Mme. Rappold, Metropolitan star, assisted and truly emulated by the new Edison phonograph, one of the master achievements of that wizard of invention. VVhen I saw the stage bare of any accompanying in- strument. I asked the New York representative how Mme. Rappold was going to sing satisfactorily without accompaniment. He pointed to the two cabinet phonographs upon the stage and said, VVait. I indulged in the smile credulous and waited. In due time Mme. Rappold appeared, and, standing beside one of the phonographs. alternated with it in interpreting some of her recorded songs. And. truly, it was a difficult matter to distinguish the real voice from the recorded one. ' Naturally, the reproduction was in miniature, but the quality, character and individuality was there in a remarkable degree. If anything. the record was clothed with a refiner mellowness, due in all probability to a curtailment in brilliancy. Excerpts from Puccini, Verdi, VVagner and Bach-Gounod were sung unisono by the Metropolitan star and the phonograph record, and when the lights were lowered-as they were in some instances- it took an acute ear to distinguish between the original and the reincarnated. Violin selections were played on the record by Spalding, with Mr. Polk assisting with an instrument in hand, and again the marvel of soulful reproduction was apparent. XVhat caused further amaze upon my part was the reproduction of a piano solo with such faithfulness of the characteristics of the instrument as heretofore I had deemed impossible. The only failure of full realization was in the reproduction of orchestral effects. 'XYizard Edison has yet to encompass the complexities of massed sound. And when he does that, his invention will possibly lose that intimacy and refinement of expression it now possesses. As it is, he had added to artistic commodities one of the marvels of the age.

THE CHANDLER CHECKS With High Priced Cars CHANDLER, checks in the most essential features of dc- sign and construction and equipment with the high-priced cars. Chandler performs with the high-priced cars. The manufacturer of one Six can make just as big claims as any other. The Chandler Company likes to deal in facts. For years the Chandler Company has made the Chandler a fact-ear, not a Cla-im--car. Claims sell a lot of cars, but facts sell more cars, just as fast as the buyers learn the facts. The Chandler is honestly built and moderately priced. There is no other Six, selling at anything like the Chandler price, which will give you so 111.11011 dependable service. Thousands of motor car buyers recognize the mechanical superiority of the Chandler Six, mechanical superiority achieved through the Marvelous Motor-the f'gI7ClllS'7:7JC Chandler Motor, powerful, fiexible, simple and economical-and through the excellence of design and construction of the entire Chandler chassis. ' So many recognize its superiority that the. Chandler has earned a front rank position in the industry. So many recognize it that twenty-five thousand buyers this year will choose the Chandler as the Six to be preferred above all Sixes. FIVE PLEASING TYPES OF BODY.
