JANUARY, 1924, CLASS PROPHECY Time: 1944. Place: Dearborne Apts. L - This scene takes place in my apartment in Des Moines, Iowa. 1 aln waiting for Lynn Hammontree who is coming to help me plan the twentieth reunion of the mid-year class of 1924. Presently, there is a knock on the door and I go to greet the visitor. s ' A I: How are you, Lynne? Come right in. ' Lynne: I'm not late, am I? I: Oh, no! Let me take your coat. Oh, what a charming hat you have. Lynne: Yes, I like it also. I got it today at Katherine Loveridge's new design shop. I: Did you tell Katherine about the reunion we are to plan? Lynne: Yes, I told her we were planning one, but she was so rushed that I didn 't have time to tell her much about it. Did you know that Juanita Stevens and Vera Phipps were helping her now? i it V 1: No, 1 didn 't. Vllhat became of Lorene Fletcher who used toibe in part- nership with Katherine? Lynne: Lorene is married and living in Minneapolis-quite happy, 1 heard. But Gan you guess who drove the taxi that brought me here? I: No, I can't imagine unless it was George Mason. - 20 3 :ills Ly11ne: No, George Mason, Frank Canfield and William Livingston are the proprietors of the Snail Taxi Company. John Ahrens was the fellow Who brought me here. Can 't you remember how he used to run that old Ford around school? I: Yes, but I had hoped he would get over that. I suppose we might just as well start to write the invitations and to call some of the people up and tell them of the date. I was just reading Hon. Richard Needham 's inaugural ad- dress to the people of Iowa when you came in. tPiek up paper and begin reading to myselfj Can't you just picture our friend Dick drawing himself to his full majestic height and fearlessly voicing his untarnislied opinions? Lynne: Yes, we all had great hopes for Richard. I: Oh, hereis something interesting. This article about the inaugural ad- dress was written by Hazel VVilson, his private secretary. Lynne: fLooking over my shoulder, reading the papcr.j IVhat's this down here about Redman? I: It isn't Corwin, is it? Lynne: Yes, it is. Let's see- Mr. Corwin Redman, a follower of Burbank, has perfected, after years of experimenting, a tearless onion. V I: Good for Corwin, trust him to look after the poor lady housewife. Lynne: fContinuing to readj Mr, Redman is to be the guest of honor at a dinner given by the 'Squeeze a Dollar Club' of which Charles Brockett is president. I: The trying duties of a class teacher laid the foundation for Charles' present position, I suppose. Lynne: The speaker of the evening is to be Carroll Mellin, who has chosen as his subject, The Latest Methods of Embezzling Funds. I: IYho would have thought the quiet, reserved Carroll Mellin would be an after dinner speaker. Lynne: Let's read Grace Everly's advice to the lovelorn. fTurns pages and reads silently for a few momentsj Oh, Effie, listen to this letter: My dear Miss Everly: Indeed, I considered myself quite iiattered upon the receipt of your recent request. I shall be very glad to take your place, Grace, if you consider me capable of giving advice to those treading the path of courtship. I will come to your office, IVednesday morning. Sincerely yours, fSignedj Alice Balzer. I: We want to be sure and read the replies Thursday. That reminds me, what is Aliee's sister Geraldine, doing? Lynne: Geraldine and Vera Paulding are the accompanists for Louise Batch- elor during her tour of Europe. 7, I: So they are still in Europe? I remember reading in the London Gazette that their last performance in Europe was to have been last month. Lynne: They were encouraged to stay longer, and this they did after secur- ing Gladys Heifner as an addition to their company. You know Gladys just finished her tour of South America a month ago. I: Yes, Elsie Latta told me in her last letter that she had heard Gladys la 1 ' Ch'l ' p Y some p ace in 1 e. Lynne: What is Elsie doing in Chile? I: Oh, Elsie, just yesterday, took it upon herself to be the world tennis champion. There should be something about it in the paper tonight. CPick up paperj Yes, here it is. Let's read it. 21 Lynne: She certainly deserved it, according to tl1is write-up. She beat her opponent one love set allil the others were 6-4 and 6-3. I: IVell, just 1'ead this. Elsie is also a champion in the world's doubles, she and Gilbert Thompson having won the championship for the last two con- secutive years. Lynne: I wonder what VVest liigh thinks of that! I: tTelephone ringsj Excuse me a minute, Lynne, while I answer this. CAnswer telephone.j Riverside 64. Yes, this is Effie. Oh, Beulah Ellison, how are you? I didn't expect you to be in Des Moines tonight. XVhom did you say you came to see play? Miriam Griffith playing at the Procter Theatre and Lance Daniels playing opposite her. I certainly can 't afford to miss that. No, thank you, Beulah, I couldn't tonight. Lynne and I are planning our class reunion and we have a great deal to do. How 's everything in Grimes? Harold Olson? Oh, yes, Harold was a member ot' our graduating class, wasn't he? So he's been made superintendent ot' the three high schools in Grimes. That certainly is splendid for Harold. No, I don 't suppose you do have much time. IVhen you see Harold, give him my hearty congratulations, will you? Goodbye. Lynne: So Miriam and Lance are playing at Procter's? Let 's go allfi see them tomorrow, shall we? Perhaps they will be here for the reunion. Beulah is teaching home economies in Grimes, isn't she? I: Yes, she has charge of that department in all three high schools. Speak- ing of Beulah reminds me of last Sunday. I went to the Swedish church with her and heard Clifford Julstrom preach a most inspiring sermon. Lee Lindblom was the very capable leader of the choir, of' which Florence Maffett and Martha Johnson were ardent supporters. I understand Ralph Jensen is quite a church Worker also. Lynne: IYhat is he doing now? Q I: Ralph is chief of the floor walkers in the Triangle Bakery. Lynne: Vifho are the owners ot this bakery? I: Russell Johnson, Clifford Anderson and George Hobbs. The three of them-that's why they called it the Triangle Bakery. I: Yes, they are having wonderful business. But, Lynne, is there ally special reason why their success should be so certain? Lynne: VVell, Effie, you know that a good line of cakes will make most any bakery a success. I: fLaughingly.j Yes, perhaps you're right, Lynne. I went up to school today and told Vera that we were planning a. reunion and asked her if I couldn't use her YYho's IVho, for tonight. Lynne: Vera who? I: Vera Simpson. You know she is the East High librarian now. She suggested that I go now and tell the other members of our class who are teach- ing at East High. Lynne: Are there really very many? I: More than I knew of, Lynne. Florence Schroeder is teaching English: Irene Rosenquist is in charge of the cafeteria and Margaret Trout is dramatic instructor. Lynne: 'Who is football coach this year? I: Oh, I almost forgot. Our plunging quarterback, Lyle Newton, was given the position this year. Lynne: The school board must find it beneficial to the students to give positions to the alumni of the different schools. I: Yes, I think they do and the11 of course our class seems to have an added advantage in having one of its members the president. 22 Q - e 'sf-L 1. X gy--0 1- 5, xy Lynne: Yes that eertainlv was a sensational rise in Mildred Sarehlield's L 7 4 career. I: Yes, I remember in her senior year, she was working for the sehools in the afternoon. Lynne: XVhat iitippem-ti to liuth Cramer? She and Mildred were such good pals. I: Ruth was married a short time after graduation. Lynne: Oh, yes, I remember. NVasn,t Margaret Larsen married the same day? I: lThoughtfullyj Margaret LarsenfaOh, yes, but she was married out of town, wasn't she? Lynne: Yes, she went to New York and was married by Frederic-k Englund who is new judge of the Supreme Court of New York. His eourt reporter is Jennie Elings. I: So Jennie is the famous reporter whose work is always so aeeurate. I have read about this New York reporter a great many times in the paper, but her name was never given. Did you know that Clair lbson has returned from Europe and is in New York? Lynne: No, I didn't. I didn 't even know he went over. I: Yes, he was teaching art over there but eame baek to teach here. XYhen I was at East High this evening, I saw an exhibit he had just sent the art department. Lynne: lsn't it splendid how every one seems to remember dear old East High? I: Yes, Yera was telling me that both Bernard Gift and Homer Elmquist are coming within the next two weeks to appear before the student body at an assembly. Lynne: Bernard Gift giving a eoneert before the sehool? Not the kind of musie he always plays? I: Oh, Lynne, didnlt you know that Bernard reformed and plays no rag- time whatever? Lynne: No, I didn't. I: NYell, he has lived in more or less seclusion while preparing for his con- certs. Don't you suppose we had better start addressing some of the envelopes now? ' Lynne: Are we going to send an invitation to every member of the class? I: I hardly think that is neeessary. Besides, we will be saving the class money if We just eall those living in Des Moines. I'd rather-CTelephone ringsj -Riverside 64. Yes, this is she. How are you, Vera, sim-e this evening? Oh, yes. wi-'ve located a number of people. Pauline Bloomquist and Helen Morse? That eertainly is interesting. Vilhat day did you say? Oh, yes. YVell, Vera, I eertainly do appreciate your ealling. Yes, you told me about Clair 's exhibit today. No. IVhat is Berniee Hawkins doing for the HY now? Ad- visor of the high schools? I should imagine the girls at East will like that. Yes, I'm sure. Goodbye, Yera. This is going to be splendid, Lynne, Pauline Bloomquist-you know she is National Organizer of the Girls' Camp Fire, and her assistant, Helen Morse, are to be here for all of next week, so they will be here for the reunion. Yera said they were to be the guests of Helen Kerr, our Iowa Organizer. They had just reeeived word about this at sehool. Lynne: These distinguished visitors will certainly add to our reunion. I: Speaking of distinguished visitors, won 't the Republiean Convention be here for its seeond time about next week? Lynne: IVell, if the God of Luek isn't with us! That brings Burch Nichols, 23 e W . gf-gs the Republican 's leader, and Clifford Grey, their very promising candidate for president. I: That will also bring Marie McCarthey, Iowa 's delegate, and Madge Rees. Lynne: XVhy will Madge be here? I: The G. O. P. couldn't get along without the President of the National League of XVomen Voters. Lynne: That 's so. The women must be represented. I wonder what Arthur Mitchell's address is. I: I will get the book l borrowed and see. fGo over to the table to get book., Oh, Lynne, fpicking up two booksj, have you read Dorothy Oooke's latest novel? QHand book to Lynne.j Lynne: Did you like it? I: Yes, I did. It may be my imagination, but it seems to have some bear- ing on our class and East High. ' Lynne: May I read it? I: Certainly. Then tell me if you notice this also. Now we'll look for friend 1hI'tl1lI1',S address. IIcrc it is. Mitchell, Arthur, Ambassador to Eng- land, 1943 and '44, Address, 632 Battleboro Avenue, New York. And,-Oh, we 'll send it to his New York home. Lynne: Just a minute-fTakes bookj-His secretary is also given. Yes, secretary, Ruth Statler. I: I wonder if Ruth has grown any. She was in my Business English class and I always noticed how tiny she was. Lynne: Speaking of small people, we approach a subject that is character- istic of a member of our class we have not mentioned. I: I'll guess, Therese Carpenter. Am I right? Lynne: Yes, she and Frances Youngquist are both women of leisure, travel- ing through all the foreign countries, studying nature, preparatory to establish- ing a studio of designing. I had a letter from Therese the other day. She said she had met Jennie Neighbour and Fay Odell somewhere in Africa. They are in charge of the Red Cross work. Edna Cooley and Bernice Deeds are with the same group. . I: VVasn't it at the place of tl1e Red Cross Headquarters that Mildred Tay- lor and Eleanor Running built that large hotel? Lynne: Yes, Therese said she had been there. It is becoming more popular all the time. Therese said that Joe Bernstein, Floyd VVendelin and George Libles played for dances in the hotel every night. Fern Fies and Besy Ruben- stein have a dancing academy in this same hotel. I: IVhat about the schools in this city in which these people are? Any of our class teaching there? ' 'Lynne, Oh, yes, Marie Schofield, Marjorie Searle, and Alforetta Smith have established a very beneficial correspondence school. I just heard a few days ago that Frank Anderson had been asked to join the teaching staff of their school. I: What is Frank going to teach the natives? Lynne: The requests for a department of auto mechanics have been so numerous that they have found it almost necessary to provide for this appar- ent need and Frank has been selected. I: I shouldn't think Frank could take care of the entire department himself. Lynne: No, he has the privilege of choosing two assistants. He has worked with Joseph Comito and Morris Siegel in some eastern college, so I suppose he will take them with him to his new location. ' I: Lynne, whatever become of Elberta Parker? ' 24 'Z . Sis Lynne: I don't know but Illl look l1er up. I: tLooks at book also.j Lynne: Parker, Elberta, famous woman sculptor. Her work of her favorite model, Evelyn Preston, was presented to the YVl1ite House in 19-13. l: I thought Evelyn Preston owned a Beauty Shop in Chicago. Lynne: No, she sold that to Marguerite Saunders and Alta Peterson when she moved to Ivashington, D. C. I: tL0okin0' throufrh IVhols Whowj-Oh Lvnnc here 's someone we haven 't written to. Lynne: Who is that? I: Arthur Nelson, publisher of the African Gazette. Lynne: XVhy not write and tell Arthur to put an announcement of the re- union in his paper? I: Thatls a very good idea. I'll just write him a little note and give it to Isadore Shaphren who has charge of the aerial mail service. Then it will get there in a few hours. Lynne: Be sure to tell Isadore about the reunion. Also tell his pilot, Vern Strain. It may be that they will be able to come. I: Yes, and we will tell him to spread the news to the people on his route. I remember he told me he had once seen a prize iight between Harold Swihardt and Maurice Hall. Perhaps he can see them again. Lynne: Speaking of fighters, reminds me of Chester Allison and his present position of bull fighting in Mexico. I: Chester Allison a toreador? He wouldn't have to resort to torture or red flags to anger his enemy. He could simply take off his cap. Lynne: IVe'll have to inquire about his methods, wonlt we? East High is also represented in another national sport. I suppose you have already guessed that I am talking about John Brooks, the manager of the International Base- ball Club? I: Yes, I heard the 1'6pO1'lQ of his recent game over the radio. That same evening I heard Harlan Stuart give a solo. You know he is director of the United States Rural Band. Carl Bogenrietf has been helping him organize. Lynne: That is the band that is to play for the dedication services of the great engineering feat of moving Grand Avenue two blocks north to make it t'Pleasant. You know Luverne YVitherell was the engineer who directed this work so skillfully. I: That certainly was a noble piece of work and 1,111 sure Luverne will give all due credit to his able assistants, Esther Anderson and Bernhardt Hammond. Lynne: I think we should give his stenographer, Ruth Frank, a certain amount of honor also. Goodness knows she worked hard enough. I: Yes, Ruth has worked hard. Most stenographers do have enough to do to at least keep them busy. I was talking to Helen Ames and Marjorie Brown the other day and they both said they were rushed to death. Lynne: IYhere do Helen and Marjorie work? I: They are both working in the credit department of Carlyle Knutsonis meat market. Lynne: I thought Mary Feruglio had charge of that department. I: Some time ago she did. Now she is head matron at the Fair Ground Neighborhood House. Lona Smith is the doctor and Myrtle Gustafson is the nurse in charge of the baby department of the same house. Lynne: Isn't Mildred Scott teaching some place in the city? I: Yes, she is teaching in the Open Air School for the Deaf. Lynne: YVe seem to have a number of people connected with schools. You 25 b D 7 . 7 9- . gig -3. know liernive llalnilton autl Louise Wrant, are both uieiubers ot' the faeulty at the Tuskogee Xoriual Training' Institute in Alabama.

'Wfssnssounlol 2 8 1 vt' -K , ,LL ' ' lzdlt nal THE OLD AND THE NEW How many of us do not think as graduation time rolls round and the long- familiar faees of the most prominent, members ot' the elass disappear from the eorridors, that the sehool will never be quite as good, not quite the same old East High we have grown to love? Surely the thought is not unfamiliar to the least of us. Yet again, how many of us do not look baek with pride at our develop- ment during the last twenty years, and perhaps even think with a eoneealed smile of some of the things that used to be done. Then, in the same moment, we again retieet that with eertain ones gone from the sehool it ean never be so great again, that its development has reaehed its height and is on the deeline. Oh how inconsistent we arel 'How well we need to remember that as eaeh talented student leaves the building with a diploma, two or three more equally talented students enter with a determination to exalt East High, its ideals and all it stands tor, to a summit of aehievement never before attained! Yes, how mueh it behooves us to remember that elassses may eome and elasses may go, but old East High goes on forever. RESPONSIBLE SENIOR Although the Senior is made the butt ot' many a joke about the sehool, I be- lieve most people recognize his added responsibility. His studies are usually eoneeded as being more diftieult, although perhaps they are not more so than the first year studies are to the l reshman, who has not had the t1'aining, and the eonsequent development of thinking power, and so is not eompetent' to delve into the hidden mysteries ot' trigonometry or eeonomies. Of eourse the Senior has many privileges about the sehool, whieh may look unjust o11 the surfaee of things. But these are merely the reward for the obvious effort put forth to at- tain the standing ot' Senior. 'I'hen, too, most ot' these privileges are those that will help him live up to his responsibilities and keep the high standard set for him. For he does have a high standard set for him by all the other partici- pants of the sehool. He is looked up to as an ideal by the younger students. He should, and I believe in most eases he does, realize this tai-t and does his best not to fall down on his job as a model in sehool life. SCHOOL LEADERSHIP Sehool life would indeed be a drab if it did not eontain among its activities the opportunity for sehool leadership. Daily we are preached the doetrine that there is plenty of room at the top in the game ot' lite. This inspiration would be hard to eateh it we were toreed to go through sehool with no oeeasion to make a praetieal applieation ot' its truth. ln view ot this t'aet provisions have been made for plaeing those aehieving distinetion in positions of honor and responsibility, for we are really living, not merely preparing for a future life. Leadership has a number ot' advantages but probably ehief among them is a very valuable training in the assumption of responsibility in organizing a group of individuals for the attainment ot' some definite end. Keeping this in mind it should be an inspiration to us to strive for these positions held out to us as a reward for eonseientious effort, unusual protieieney, and the ability to assume responsibility. 29 All 'V'5 M ' faygff-Q24 I B fb W 1 1g,g, -My A H - - 'f 34:1 be W A King, ' I , I ,. f,14 if 5115115 T!!f,!25l ,' f Nmvrkk film V ,A,,, X9 . !

Bass. .gss I could recover from a stinging blast that almost blew me away, he l1ad opened the door. He peered out, and from the look of disappointment that spread over his face, I gleaned that he l1ad found what I knew was there, nothing. t'But not to be denied entrance, I again rapped on the window. This time l could see him rise from his seat with an expression of expectanee on his face and approach my perch where I sat, shivering with eaeh sweep of the wind around the corner of the house. As he threw the window wide I llew in and perceiving an ideal perch, namely. a bust of Pallas, whieh was situated over the door, l proceeded to appropriate it. This sudden move on my part almost overbalanced him, but you will admit that my haste, in view of the eold atmosphere outside, was exeusable. 'tAs soon as he had colleeted his scattered wits, he began shooting' questions at me and from these questions I gathered that he waswaiting for news from some girl called 'Lenore.' But being his guest. and wanting to rest, I resented these queries and resolved to answer as little as possible. 'tAs I am of a poetic nature I selected a word to rhyme with the subject of his questions and every time he asked me anything I answered simply, 'Never- more.' , 'tAt first this only seemed to puzzle him, but finally he became frenzied and extremely enraged. In this condition I feared that he might do me harm, but before I had an opportunity to stop this practice he discontinued the questioning and fell into a deep, moody study. It seemed to be my move now, but l listened to the raging of the cold wind outside and decided to remain. 'tVVhen will I leave? That is what he is probably wondering but I can tell you it will be- HN6V61'I1101'9.H I7 ON STUDIES With Apologies to Bacon Studies is the thinffs what makes bovs dislike school. Studies is what we must D . get when teachers assign lessons. Studies is what makes boys go to bed late at nights beings as how boys have to get studies late after they come home from taking their girls home from the movie. Studies is what Mr. Burton refers to when he says we should not carry more than four subjects. Studies is what makes us get fours on our eards. Studies is what makes us get pink slips to meet Miss McBride. Studies is what makes tests. If it wasn't for studies we wouldn't have no tests. In other words why do we have studies? To make us learn something what we don't want to. Latin for instance. If we didn't have studies we wouldn't have no Latin. Studies is what you ean't make up when Miss Needles or Mr. Pritchard won 't give you an excused admit. Studies is what John Woodmansee is trying to miss when he is late to English class. Studies is the reason men get bald headed. Studies is what makes us have short assemblies. Studies is what made Francis Bacon write an essay about them. Studies is what made me write this essay. East High should not have studies because it spoils the schools. 32 2 THE INQUIRING REPORTER Question: What would you rlo it' you haul ahsolutv powvi' to clo us You XX'1Slll'4l toi' twonty-toni' hours?

A MAN FOR THE AGES-IRVING BACHELLER NYhat true, red-blooded, American boy or girl does not have a conception of Abraham Lincoln which touches almost upon the sublime, surrounding him in his mental image with a halo of glory? If there be one who does not, let him he denounced and repudiated for thus he deserves, but if he does, let him live with Lineoln the life of his hero, as he fervently poses over the pages of Irving Bat-heller's, The Man for the Ages. THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO-ALEXANDER DUMAS Deep intrigue-fa spectacular prison eseape-hidden treasure-a faithless sweetheart---a mysterious stranger---a strange and terrible revenge-all these are combined in that faseinating story of life in France under the reign of Louis XVIII-The Count of Monte Cristo. JEAN CHRISTOPHE-ROMAIN ROLLAND In the history ot' Jean Christophe by ltomain Rolland, is found a beautiful revelation of the human soul in its stark essential elements: mutinous, shaken by storms of passion, good and bad: peaeetul, moved by the philosophy of man in his relation to the world: and creative, wherein the weakness ot' man uncon- sciously inspires him to genius. THE COVERED WAGON-EMERSON HOUGH The Covered Wagon is the history ot' a great caravan going to Oregon. Ore- gon, famous for its soil, led many people to take this long, tiresome jou1'ney aeross the plains. Travel was slow, fourteen miles being the average that a large earavan could cover ill a day. How these b1'ave pioneers cross the Platte, repell Indian attacks, lose part ot their train because of the mad rush to California for gold, but iinally reaeh Oregon, is told most. vividly by one of Iowa 's greatest authors, lfhnerson Hough.

A famous doctor with an instinet for doetoring ' everything' experimented with materials by whieh to make that spirit grow and develop. The result of his labor was a tiny red pill. The faeulty proeured a quantity of these pills and presented Coach Hoyt and eaeh of the football players with a box. The rest was administered to the stu- dent body. The effeet was immediate, and all that eould be desired. As the pills were taken the spirits of the assembly arose. The improvement was so marked as to be visible! As the Hpatientsl' felt better they began to exereise their lungs and there followed the best pep assembly of the season. CONVENTION SIDELIGHTS Friday, November lfith, Miss Snyder and the editorial statf of the Quill went to Grinnell to attend the animal eonvention of the Iowa High School Press Association. One hundred eighty-tive delegates were present, while over thirty sehools were represented. Every one received a most eordial weleome and Grinnell ae- eorded us genuine hospitality. An entertaining' feature was the open talks Friday afternoon. A representa- tive of eaeh sehool gave some interesting' facts about his paper or magazine. Five of the sehools had one hundred per eent subscriptions, in addition to a large outside number of subscribers. Although the majority of publieations were newspapers, the Quill reeeived three honorable mentions for its quality as a magazine. The staff returned from the eonvention with renewed zeal for the eause of high sehool journalism. FOOTBALL FOLLIES East High is constantly being' amazed by the genius of its inhabitants. XVhen it seems as if the supply of novel ideas has been completely exhausted, out erops another new one, mellow as the apple in the bottom of the basket, just to prove that maybe Shakespeare wasn't right when he said, There is nothing new under the sun. Shakespeare didnlt know East High. By now tl hopel my gentle readers are wondering just to whieh particular demonstration of eleverness l refer. llave you forgotten the Hlflootball Follies on November 23? The first quarter, mueh the eleverest, consisted of a parody on UML Gallagher, and Mr. Sheanf' The eharaeters represented were Mr. Bakalyar and Mr. Hoyt. The second quarter, still more clever, represented a elass engaged in solving various problems of weighty Nl importance to East High. Between halves, the honors go to Mr. Gilbert and his musieal entertainers. The third quarter, somewhat better than the sec-ond, showed us what becomes of the Yvest High team after their defeat. The last quarter, better than all the rest put together, was the presentation to Mr. Hoyt of a football, enormous enough to have eontained our eoaeh him- self. After an address of thanks, Mr. Hoyt opened his gift. The gigantic war- rior eoneealed therein led us in some yells, whieh, although we have received no eomplaints, must have disturbed the studies of our friends ac-ross the river. The varsity gave us our first glimpse of the new East High bamier. 38 irgwe iso as THE CHRISTMAS ASSEMBLY During the Cliristnias Assembly on Deeeniber nineteenth, we of the Twentieth Century were earrietl haek several lillOllS2illfl years to those seenes of the first. lfhristnias so familiar to us all. Hy a series of beautiful pietures we were nlafle to see, one after the other, the eoniing ol' the angel to the Virgin Mary, the inother anml the ehilil lying in the manger in the eity of David: the shepherds tilled with awe at the appearanee ot' a shining star, the eoniing ot' the wise nien with their gifts of golil, niyrrh and t'rankineense: anil finally, the liight of Joseph, the young ehilil and his niother, into Egypt. The pieturesque settings, sineere aeting, and appropriate niusie niatle the assembly one of the most attractive planned and presentefl this year, and after the eurtain fell we went to our various elasses properly inipresseilg wondering if we eoulrl eonie elown to earth long enough to concentrate on sueh worhlly things as tomorrow 's assignment. lllary Gm-fmlglolg, SENIOR CHRISTMAS PARTY lVhat is a senior elass without a illll'lSllllHS party? That was the question in everyone 's mind het'ore i'lll'lSllll2lS, so consequently we hail one. Again the hallrooni on the thirfl floor was flressecl up for the oc-easion in the hrilliant eolors ot' the season. A Clll'ISlll12lS tree was prouflly aflornefl with gay cleeorations of eolorecl eleetrie lights and tinsel. Arounil the hottoni appearefl paekages of eve1'y size anwl shape, which lefl to the eonelusion in the ininrls of the Seniors that Santa nlight have been there. The party hegan with a fifteen niinute earol singing, with Alive Mathews at the piano anil the eorrialors eehoeil and re-eehoeml the glad songs of the Yuletitle season. Then followed a series of various stunts, in whieh several of the Seniors partieipateil, inueh Io the flelight ol' the onlookers ancl the huniiliation of the unfortunate partir-ipants. A Virginia Keel was the next number on the pro- QI'7:l'Il1 anfl it eertainly proverl to he a huge sueeess. Again and again it was eneoreil till the Seniors, all breatllless, dropped into ehairs only to In- up again at the sounrl of the whistle, to eonnnenee a grantl niareh for eats, XYith the stately Mr. Broelcett anil the graeeful Miss l orkner as leaders, we twined around the rooni and then to a table eovererl with well Iillefl plates. After eating the clever luneh, a hrilliant person suggested another Virginia Reel and we reelerl until the affair took on the appearanee of a Boheniian fete. The rest of the evening was spent with slaneing to the nierry tulle of East ,lIigh's newly ae- quirefl eonihination pep anml jazz orehestra. And then-as all good things inust -it enfleil anrl we all departefl feeling that Christmas was eertainly a won- derful time ol' the year.

EAST-NORTH GAME North High held East to a tie Saturday, November 17th, in one of the hardest fflllffllt and most sensational games of the season. East High started the game as they should have started it, with a touchdown in the first few minutes of the first quarter, but in spite of their determined efforts, the Red and Black were unable to score again, and the last half of the fourth quarter found the ball in East's possession in the middle of the field, with the score 13 to 6 in North 's favor. On the East bleaehers gloom prevailed and a thousand spectators main- tained a resigned silence as they waited for the whistle that would tell them they had lost the game to the Pink and Green. Then, with only two minutes to play and with defeat looming' ahead, 'East staged a eomebaek that brought the vast crowd on the East side of the stadium to their feet one man. For in those last two minutes, the team from Lee township not only made a touchdown but kicked goal, and the game ended with the svore 13 to lil. Strange to say, everyone seemed to consider it a victory for East. Mary Garten-l0B, 41 Q . ig EAS T-WEST GAME According to the students of lilast and XVest High Schools, Saturday, Novem- ber 24th was a perfect day for football. They were determined to take advan- tage of it, for that was the day when East and YYest High met in their annual battle to decide the supremacy ot' Lee township or of its ancient enemy across the river, Des Moines township. i The first half of the game was uneventful, neither team being able to score, and the East bleachers spent the intermission between halves in rejoicing, for al- though we in lilast Des Moines hoped to win, most of us were a trifle doubtful of carrying otf the victory. The end of the third quarter found the score still nothing to nothing, and the beginning of the fourth quarter found VVest glum and a trille nervous, and East hopeful and highly excited. Then on the heels of victory came defeat. Oneftwo touchdowns and a goal kick by the Maize and Blue, and East High had lost! NYell, they beat us this time, a tall youth draped in Red and Black grudg- ingly admitted to his companion as they left the stadium, but what we do to them next year 'll be plenty. Which, T think, rather neatly sums up the combined sentiments of all of us. Mary Garten-1013. FOOTBALL MONOGRAMS As an echo of the football season, the players were awarded monograms in recognition of their playing this season. Homer Krueger enjoys the novel dis- tinction of having played every minute of every game this past season. Lee Lindbloom, Lawrence Davis and Ralph Jensen received two-ring mono- grams. One-ring nionograms were awarded to Claire Ibson, Harry Lindbloom, Arthur Mitchell, Clifford Gray, Raymond Shope, Homer Krueger, Burch Nichols, Charles Kennedy, George Bourland and Lyle Newton. GIRLS' ATHLETIC LEAGUE The Girls, National Athletic League Association is one ot' the most interest- ing organizations in high school. lts chief purpose is to advance the idea that each girl should have A sound mind in a sound body. To become a member of this association each girl must maintain a correct sitting or standing position. keep certain health rules for twenty-four weeks, and earn 150 points by hiking, skating, swimming, and Various other outdoor sports which every girl loves to do. One of the most interesting ways to earn points is to hike. Hiking includes a great variety of pleasure-giving exploits which are not only enjoyable but also educational. Extra points may be made by apparatus work in the gym- nasium. Five points each are given for the pendulum swing on the flying rings, parallel bar vault, parallel bar shoulder, stand, and many other stunts on the horse, buck, ropes, and stall bars. Points are also given for volley ball, base- ball, track, records, coasting, and folk dancing. A numeral is given for the first 150 points earned, a manogram for 350 points, and a state pin for 450. The numeral is a dated monogram of scarlet and black. The monogram is an in- scribed cipher bearing the letters D. E. M. The organization is as yet undevel- oped but when a sufficient number of girls have earned their numerals officers will be elected and the association will take a prominent part in the school activities.

THE CAMP FIRE CLUB - There are many Camp Fire groups in East High and Camp Fire girls have always taken an active part in school organizations. However, it was only this fall that under the direction of Mrs. VV. C. Nelson, state executive, a Camp Fire Club was formed. Every girl, whether in a Camp Fire or not, is welcomed to our meetings. The purpose of this organization is: first, to bring together all Camp Fire Girls who are students in the school, second, to teach the fundamentals of the Camp Fire Girl program more efficiently than it can be done in the individual group, third, to make the Camp Fire Club an organization for the unification of ideals, fourth, to provide a point of contact with the Camp Fire organiza- tion for the girls desiring to become Camp Fire girls, fifth, to promote the organization of new groups for girls whose interests are the same because they are students in the same school. The officers of the club this year are as follows: Edith Soppeland, presidentg Evelyn Walker, vice president, Mabel Woods, secretary- treasurer, and IVinifred Gilbert, faculty adviser. Y. W. C. A. An average attendance of over 175 girls at every meeting is the record which the Y. W. C. A. holds for the past semester. This large attendance is due, no doubt, to the fine variety of programs which the program committee has been able to arrange. At one of the meetings a group of the club members pre- sented the play Little Women. At another, representatives of the Boys' I-Ii-Y gave a Very unusual and unique program. The girls are planning to return this courtesy at some future date. The spirit of service which the club members have all entered so readily has been manifested in results. The Service Committee is planning to furnish the girls' rest room, has maintained a Big Sister Fund, and has posted every two Weeks different lists of books on the bulletin board. The Social Committee have presided as hostesses at several afternoon receptions. That the Membership Committee has been an active one may be observed in the successful record of attendance. The girls are making plans for the new semester with renewed interest. Their object is to make the Y. VV. C. A. such a worth while organization that any girl in East High will find it profitable to join.

Every girl has takenan interest in the work of the club, and, as We have many members of outstanding dramatic ability, we have had very interesting programs. At two of our meetings, one-act plays have been given. t'Forbidden Fruit was the first one, and at this meeting all girls that were interested in dramatic work were invited. The next play was 'tTwo Slatterns and a King, which was followed by an interesting talk on dramatic current events, given by Kathleen Shreves. STUDENT COUNCIL During the past semester the Student Council has acted as a sponsor for many movements: the Thanksgiving offering for the Iowa Childrens' Home, the Pub- lic lVelfare Drive, the ticket selling campaign for the Community Course pro- gram, the backing of the Quill, and the organization of the largest P. T. A. in the World. The members of the council feel that they have had a very successful semes- ter. A great amount of credit is due our newest member, Miss Pritchard, whose close cooperation has proved to be of great assistance to this organization. u Fawnie Gray, Secretary. BOYS' I-II-Y The boys' Hi-Y is continuing the good work which it started in the fall. It may not seem noticeable on the surface, but the Hi-Y has much to do with the undercurrent of better feeling in the student body. The fact that one hun- dred or more boys try to live up to Hi-Y ideals is enough to determine the char- acter in any body. About Thanksgiving time, the discussion classes which had been the program for the regular meetings until then, were disbanded and a new system of special meetings was followed. Certain evenings were set aside for special banquets and on others speakers were entertained. A banquet was given for the mem- bers of the football team in recognition of their service to the Hi-Y this year. At the State Older Boys' Conference held at Oskaloosa, our organization had five special delegates and was represented by about thirty other members from the Hi-Y. The reports of the convention were very well given at one of the meetings. On December nineteenth, a Christmas program, given in the music room, was enjoyed by all. On January seventh the Hi-Y cabinet took charge of the Y. IV. meeting and in this way brought about a better understanding of the relationship between the boys and girls of the school. Members of the cabinet for the term ending in January, Were: Bob Young, president, John Vlloodmansee, vice president: Charles Brockett, secretary, Ray- mond Arnberg, treasurer, Gilbert Rogers, chairman of the membership com- mittee, Clarke Baridon, chairman of the service committee, Craig McKee, chair- man of the program committee, Mr. Francis, faculty adviser, Mr. Leon Smith, club adviser. E EPI TAN The E Epi Tan is carrying out a program of prepared and extemporaneous de- bates which have been very interesting. With an increased membership the club hopes to hold many more successful meetings, with debates and parliamentary drill as the main topics. Vllhen this plan is carried out it will certainly have proved very beneficial. Glen Moore, Secretary. 45 Q . S Tig THE BAND Ten years ago a high school band of twenty-five to sixty pieces would have been considered a marvel, while today it is not uncommon to find such bands in smaller communities. Surely East High, with over twenty-seven hundred students, could have the most talked of school band in the state. I feel sure there are many students in our school who play instruments or would like to play. Perhaps it is hard for new students, or beginners in music, to decide which instrument they would like to study. For the benefit of such people, I will attempt to explain in brief, the instrumentation of a band. The band of today is divided into three sections namely, tl1e brass, the reeds for woodwindj, and the percussion instruments. The brass section is made up of cornet, trumpet, alto, tenor, baritone, trombone, and tuba. Every one is familiar with the cornet and with the trumpet, which is slightly larger than the cornet. The alto is a harmony instrument and a quartet of altos is the most important section of the band. There are different types of alto horns, the upright alto, the mellophone and the French horn. Of the three, the French horn is the most popufir. It has a, beautiful nasal tone, but it is a tricky in- strument and the least mechanical of all the wind instruments. The tenor is slightly larger than the upright alto and smaller than the baritone, as special parts are not written for the tenor in this country, it usually augments the trombone parts. The baritone or euphonium is the cello of the military band and possesses a tone that is la1'ge and pleasing. It is a very flexible instrument and the parts assigned to it are often very interesting. It usually plays the melody and counter melody parts. In tone the trombone is a brother to the baritone although it is not as flexible in its tone production. It can, if well played, be heroic and noble, martial, emotional or grave, according to the treatment of its part. The tuba is the largest instrument in the band, but it is a mistaken idea that it is hard to blow. L The reed, or woodwind, is made up of clarinet, saxophone, oboe, bassoon, piccolo, Zllld flute. The clarinet is the most important instrument in the reed section. It is a beautifully toned instrument which possesses many and varied qualities. It is hardly possible to have too many clarinets. The saxophone is an instrument of comparative modern invention. A full band should contain four, the soprano, alto, tenor, and baritone, these create a tonal combination that is odd and beautiful. They are used to strengthen thc weakest part of the band, the middle register. The oboe is the most delicate and sensitive of all wind instruments, due to the fact that it is played with a double reed, with a very small opening. The tone color is of a nasal quality and expressive of sadness and complaint. Un the other hand, it is capable of rendering humorous moods. The bassoon, like the oboe, is played with a double reed, but being a larger instrument is not as difficult to blow. It is in fact a bass oboe. The piceolo is the smallest instrument in the band. It is often used to produce comic effects, to imitate the life. The tlute is used very little in band work. but it can be used with good effect. The percussion instruments are the timpani, or kettle-drums, the snare drum, the bass drmn, the cymbals, the triangle, the bells and Xylophone. The kettle- drums get their name from their shape. They are used to accentuate the rhythm or to give tonal as well as rhythmic emphasis to the bass. A roll on the drums will tittingly imitate thunder. It requires a very clever performer to play these drums as the music sometimes requires the pitch of the drums to be changed during the piece. The snare and bass drums are rhythmic in- struments. The eymbals and triangle are small instruments that are usually played with the snare and bass drums. The bells and xylophone are used for solo work. 46 as r. , V ol- ! '.

It is perfeetly proper to wear your hat in the basement. 2. Do not fail to form a eomplete fortifieation about the bulletin board daily -the girls do not need to see any of the items anyway. Tear-hers appreeiate originalityfwrite all your own excuses. Be frank, above all else. If you are bored at an assembly, do not hesitate to let it be known-drop your eompaet, whisper to your neighbor, eough loudly, or use any one of the well-known signs. IMPORTANT Are you a deteetivet?

Q . ig OUR APPRECIATION OF EAST HIGH SCHOOL The Class of 1924 has come to the e11d of its higl1 school career. VVe are now looking back upon a period of time which will doubtless p1'ove to be one of the most delightful experiences of our lives. Think what East High has done for us, what she has given use-the very foundation of our success. . Do we not remember that first -day here when we came as staring and be- wildered Freshmen? The vastness of the school itself, the idea that this was to be our new home for the next four years, was almost beyond our comprehension. The world seemed so great, our own importance in it seemed greater still. Wle fc-lt as though we had at last reached a degree of understanding with the world. VVe seemed about to embark upon an era of great things-and we did. Beneath all this bewilderment were our ideals and our own thoughts. Ideals prompt us to higher and yet higher thoughts, and if we permit them, they will mould our characters until we echo the lines of our poet: 1-Tuilfi' thee more stately mansions, 0 my soul, As the swift seasons roll! Leave thy lozu-vaulted past! Let each new temple, nobler than the last, Shut thee from hearen 'zritlz a dome more rust, Till thou at length art free, Leaving thine outgroirn shell by life's unresting sea. If our ideals mount to great heights, all we need is the incentive to carry them out. Vt'e often dream of the things we should like to do and the great things we hope to accomplish. VVhere can one find a greater incentive than thought and its connection with ideals? And here we find the value of our school, to train us that we may be able to do the work in life for which we are best fitted. 'When we first arrived at East High do you remember how we looked up to the Seniors? They seemed so superior to us that we envied them: they seemed so masterful and capable of handling any situation which might arise, they were courteous to us, it pleased us to think that they were taking an interest in Freshmen, and we longed to be like them. Are we? It is constant training and careful observation that makes a real man or woman that which he or she longs to be. VVhere would we be in school, or in the eyes of our fellowmen, had we not imitated some of the pleasing traits of our school- mates and most of all of our teachers? To organization and cooperation we owe the best we can give, for it is through them that we have learned. The cost of acquiring an education is not one-tenth so great as the cost of ignoring our life's foundation. Every individual here realizes the importance of the foundation of a building. How long would our beautiful Capitol stand erect without a firm foundation! Just so, any pupil might be able to make a flaring start and a big splutter without an education, but what of his stability? In the course of our school career we have fumed and become heated over studies upon which we could see no reason for spending time. They seemed so useless, so out of date, that we made ourselves believe they were of no use whatever for our proposd vocation. But now, because we ha-d to think to get those required lessons, each mind is a. workshop and a storehouse. VVe no longer listen exclusively to the ideas of others, we often formulate our own. XVe are prepared to meet any proposition squarely, we have learned to use the greatest treasure which God gave to man. ' In unity there is strength and the ability to carry out great projects. Could our athletic teams, our debaters, and our speakers work successfully if the school was not united and standing firmly behind them? We may answer that question 257 2 .,.. x Sh., , A ' 1 for ourselves. Do we thi11k that we could have learned anything worth while had there been ill feeling between us and our classmates? Vile came to East High with the purpose of securing an education, we are leaving with a wider vision and higher ideals. May East High be proud of us! She has made us self-reliant, she has given ns the equipment with which to undertake the greatest adventure of our lives. And now that we have told you what we have gained, we wish to express a few of the things we hope East- High will bring to each succeeding class. What the school has given to us, we hope she will in turn give to you. Perhaps the greatest asset we can hope that you will gain will be to see and to judge yourselves. As soon as you can acquire this, you will gain self-confidence and will not be afraid to undertake hard things-a great point in the upbuilding of character. In your school careei' you will meet many petty problems and ditticult situa- tions. East High will give you the ability to face these squarely, for you will be given a thorough training here. Success hinges upon the courage to stand up under the strain of life and progress. lf you have the ability to stand alone, unaided, and battle toward your goal, your success is assured, but should you drift with the tide it may never be reached. You must have the grit and the courage to stand by your own ideals when they are being tested in the crucible of life. And for that great- part of character building accomplished during your high school course, you must thank those teachers who so willingly give you a part of themselves, that the structure may be strong and firm. At times they may not even be appreciated, but they see the vision toward which you are struggling. They alone know the short cuts and bypaths which will tempt yon. In the most diflicult problems you will always tind them ready to lend a helping hand. You will rise again, and triumph- antly smiling, you will realize that a lit'e lived the best that is in you is nobler than one without a struggle. Years ago when East High was small, the school authorities had her interest at heart and had the foresight to promote only those ideals that would go down in her history as a genuine benefit to the school. It was their policy to discourage any element that would create discrimination. Recognition was based upon the ability to do, and the spirit in which the service was done, irrespective of race, sex, or creed. As the years have passed, East High has gained the distinction of being a very democratic school. May you succeed in ever sustaining this fine spirit! As our school has enfolded us within her spirit of friendliness, with a democ- racy broad enough to include each of our two hundred, so we desire to place this mantle upon one of the student body as a symbol, not only of what the school has given us, but as a symbol of her care and guardianship over your lives. With it we pledge our loyalty to the high standards that have been set before us here. May it pass on unsullied to generation after generation of students, sincere and earnest, who will inscribe their numeral upon it with pride and loyalty.

You are now beginning on this tour which will enlighten so many of you. lt compares favorably with a trip through Europe or any other continent of the universe. There is no need of my mentioning especially the beautiful exterior of this marvelous building-the smooth, green lawn, large old trees and broad stone steps, because they all speak for themselves. Notice, however, the line motto, For the Service of Humanity. It expresses the highest aims and desires of the 'twenty-six hundred students who attend this school. And here we are. You notice first of all that fine trophy case to your left. The school is justly proud of these numerous cups and other honors. The young gentleman standing there, gazing so absorbedly, is inspecting not the awards, but his own personal appearance in the fine large mirror to the back. I am told that the mirror is the attraction of all-Freshmen to Seniors, inclusive-and you will admit it shows that young man up. The little benches to your right are for the t'lovelorn. It is here that the young ladies and gentlemen, always properly chaperoned, hold their tete-a-tetes. There are two fair young students enjoying its comfort now. They are probably holding serious conference, because someone told me that they hold their social con- versations on the davenport in the little reception room, which we shall visit later. To your left again is the very busy office scene. The young man is Vice Prin- cipal Mr. Prichard. He is capable of giving exceptional lectures, I have heard it said. The tall, dignified man is the principal and respected adviser, Mr. A. J. Burton. He is fond of telling jokes and stories, and could keep you entertained for hours, if there was time. Vile must pass on! ln this north corridor both English and History are taught by numerous fine and interested teachers. You'll all be especially interested in the Chemistry Laboratory here at this end. Miss Church presides, but I am told that the atmosphere is rarely ehurchlike, but rather interesting. In this south hall French and Mathematics hold sway. This little reception room with its admired girls' adviser reigning is the pride of the school. Do not the flowers, soft hangings, and period furniture make the room interesting? lVe will now proceed to the third floor where we shall find the Department of Stenography. . Many of you are wondering at those queer noises. No, the victrola is not for dancing. The business department is here at this end of the corridor. Large numbers of the students are preparing to be soinebody's stenog, and are now typing to music. The paintings to your right are on exhibition, they are the work of Miss Macy, who teaches Art at East High. VVatch your step, the corridor is highly waxed for a dance, frequently school parties are held here in the evenings. To your left? Oh, this is the Little Theater, where dramatic art is taught by Mrs. Christine Corey Miller. Much talent is developed here. O, yes, club meetings of all kinds are held in this room, too, during the afternoons. You hear funny noises, undoubtedly, issuing from the band room. This school is fortunate in having a music instructor who is both competent and willing. East High has an orchestra and band, not to mention glee club, quartette, trio, in addi- tion, music classes are conducted daily. Of course, thcylre only practicing now, as is readily heard. They get better as the season goes on and play and sing for many of the school features and assemblies. We will next pass on to the gymnasium, and on the way watch a few of our barnyard golf enthusiasts do their stuff. Vile are lucky. You see the champion, 40 QA-QW . ig is Homer Krueger, about to fling the 1l1lll6lS slipper. A ringer. No! on the wrong peg, about six yards away. VVe will now take in the gymnasium. Note the absence of dumb-bells. They are all over in their classes. YVe will journey downstairs to the swimming pool. No! not fish, just George Turbett and Basil Plummer running a race. A class is now entering upstairs, so we will go up. If Mr. Hoyt would do all the things that he tells his classes to do, he wouldnlt be our giant coach anymore. Note the piano. Many dances have been held in this gymnasium by different clubs in the school. VVe will go downstairs and go through the tunnel. It is not as dark or smoky as most tunnels. The main reason is that we have light in this tunnel, and no fire to make smoke. IVe are now coming to the end of our tour. There are many other places of interest in and around East High but you will have to take another day for that. If you have enjoyed this tour tell your friends. If not, 'donlt say so. WHERE THE TABLES ARE TURNED ACT I SCENE: Freshman Algebra Class Time: First hour class-November 6, 1920 Charaeters: Miss Knauer and the Class Miss 'Knauerz Class will come to order, please. Does everyone have his book with him? . Elin Johnson: I didn't bring mine, teacher. I lost my locker key and couldnlt get it. Miss Knauer: Please go to the office after a master key, then to your locker and get it. You may make up the time it takes you to go after 2 130 this afternoon. Lowell Fletcher enters j?re-fourths minutes late. Miss Knauer: IVhere have you been, Lowell? - Lowell Fletcher: Mother forgot to call me this morning. Miss Knauer: You may stay after 2:30 also.4!1! Raymond Arenburg, do I see you chewing gum? Ray Arenburg: Yes, teacher, just a little. I didn't have any breakfast yet. Miss Knauer: Take it out immediately and come up here where I can watch you. Don't put it in your handkerchief! Here's a waste basket. How many pupils have the lesson for today? Everyone 'with the exception of Clarke Bariflon raises his hand. Miss Knauer: Clarke, don't you have your Algebra? Clarke Baridon: No, teacher. My little sister was sick and I had to take care of her. In the afternoon I washed windows, so I didn't have time. I'm sorry. Miss Knauer: Yes, so am I, but that d0esn't get the lesson. Will you please remain a minute after the class is dismissed? Allister MeKowen, are you whispering? I thought so. Go to the front board and put the sixth problem on. Allister lmsies himself elrazring pictures of the teacher behind her back and then erasing them. Gilbert Rogers, sitting behind the biggest girl in the class, Dorothy DeB1'e, searches in -vain for a rubber band. Finally, in despair, he borrows the one irhich Dorothy Viggers is Ch61l'1'Hg on and takes careful aim at Allister. Far better not to have aimed at all, for right on the end of Miss Knauer's nose landed that luekless paperwad. Miss Knauer: IYho shot that? VVell, speak up. Gilbert Rogers: It was me, teacher. Miss Knauer: It was I. 41 X 5 ' ' my Gilbert Rogers: But it was not you, it was me. Miss Knauer: Please take this note and go to Mr. Warren's office. It's right at the end of this hall. Gilbert Rogers: Yes, thank you. lEnd of this hall indeed. Wlhatil The note or the otiicellj ' Miss Knauer: Allister, havenlt you finished that problem yet? Wlhatifl You can't get it. VVhy didn't you say so before when l asked? Allister Mc: I didn't hear you, teacher. I was getting my English lesson. You see, I went to a party and didn't have any time. Miss Knauer: lVhat a tragedy! At a party without any time. You also have the privilege of remaining after class. Now -does every other person in this room have every one of the problems for today '? If 11ot, please raise your hand. Every hand in the room goes up Ilillll flu' wnfeption of Cliester Hol1lefer's and Robert Yonng's. Miss Knauer: That being the case, as I thought it was in the beginning, I will assign a double lesson for tomorrow. Problems 1 through 75. Miss Knauer: The class may start working on the lesson, now. Dismissal bell rings, after a short time. Miss Knauer: Class stand. Right face. Forward march. Not so fast, Kathleen Shreves. Don't run, Margaret Pelton. The entire class will remain tomorrow the 9th period if anyone does not have his lesson. Wie have always regarded and treated the teachers as our superiors. IVe have submitted to all cruel treatment which they have imposed upon us with- out argument, as you have readily seen while reading Act I. But how many times have we thought what fun it would be if the tables were turned and we, as Seniors, were superiors 'l In Act II, we shall try to depict by a few scenes what that kind of school life would represent. IVe ask those persons without imaginations to read no further.

Homer Krueger, who was to have run the picture machine, has gone to sleep in the booth and he has locked the door, we cannot awaken him. No refunds! Angry murmurs from those who had bought tickets. Elin Johnson: Might know we couldn't see a decent show for such a ridiculously low price. I was suspicious at first. Margaret Fuller: Huh! Vilhere did we hear that before?

Then all take seats, each having secured a generous supply of ammunition in the form of chalk-saturated erasers. Enter Mr. Balfalyar, dodging erasers successfully, in most r'ases,' and takes seat. Mr. Bakalyar: You may all pass to the board and work the first six problems. Ray Arenburg: Mr. Bakalyar, we will not work these problems until you give us higher grades. We unanimously voted to go on strikeA-l chokes on gun1j-- u-u-ntil you give us higher grades. Everyone diverts himself by various am-usements. Some tear up seats and move them into hall so they can dance. Gilbert Rogers starts hostilities by shooting paper 'wads at Mr. Balcalyar without missing, the whole bunch participates in eraser ight until all erasers have been lost out of windows. In the meantime Floyd Hudson and Lee Mus- sell have attached their pocket radios to the picture moulding and to their ears for ground. Floyd Hudson: I have station CAT. IVhat luck have you?

Dorothy Yiggers: You did I I I I I Vivian Newman: I did not I I I N Dorothy Viggers: You dare say you didn't mix the shoe polish with my rouge??? Robert Young, in a voice convulsed with laughter: I cannot tell a lie, I did it when you were dancing. I wanted to polish my shoes and as I do not use liquid blacking I had to make a paste. Gets remainder of contents of polish bottle square in his face. Enter Lowell Fletcher, one-half hour late. Mr. Bakalyar: VVhy are you late, Lowell? Not that I care, I am only curious. Lowell Fletcher: Curiosity once killed a cat. VVell, I was trying to sell Mr. Burton some stock in a firm manufacturing dumbbells. Mr. Bakalyar: Did you succeed? Lowell Fletcher: No, I did not. He said he was already at the head of such a firm. A crowd congregates about a spot where Allister McKowan and Arthur Kellogg are loudly disputing the question of whether a hole six feet deep and four feet square contained more dirt than a hole twelve feet deep and six feet square. They finally decide to settle the debate by a wrestling match. Arthur K. wins, and it is decided that a hole sim feet deep and four feet square contains the most dirt.

VVasn't it good of Gil, the motor magnate, to give us the chance to go with him? Allister Mc: Yes, it surely was. Think of old Gilbert Rogers, the youthful poet, becoming Gilbert Rogers, president of the Roger's Aereomotor Company. Be- sides improving my health, it is an honor to get a chance to take a trip with a billionaire. Lee Mussell: Say, by the way, what do you think of the motor the old chap has devised? I think that it will revolutionize the modern world, myself. Allister Mc: The idea of making a motor that will run on air has been in my head for quite some timeg but he beat me to it. Wlhat do you say to a stroll around the deck? Lee Mussell: Fine. This ship is one of the most modern, up-to-date vessels which the Fletcher ship building corporation has turned out. Just think! Sixty knots per hour and it's controlled all by wireless. 44 X S.. ' P 3 Gilbert Rogers: Feeling seasick yet? No? IVell, then, what do you say to a little swim?

Gilbert Rogers: Thatls right. lVell the11, Allister, letls play a game on the electrical checkerboard which was devised for Lor1'aine Callen. Frances K. tto Leej : VVhat do you think I heard over our radio this afternoon? Lee Mussel: Couldn't guess to save 111y life. Francis K.: Clarence Stuart was just appointed Secretary of State under Presi- dent Lewis Lacy. Lee M.: Good for Clarence. Let's tune in on my 11ew watch radio set which was manufactured Zilltl patented by the Neighbor and Shelton Electrical Company, and listen to a selection by Herringlake's Band. Hello-this is a new one on me. Who is it? ' Frances K.: VVl1y it's Earl Griffith giving a lecture from Dingel's law school on how to translate the Tait Bill. Margaret F.: Pardon me, sir, but the control is b1'oken and we can't proceed until it is repaired. Gilbert R.: IVhat's that? IVe have to stop? Get i11 touch with the Garland, Fredrickson, and Chambers Electrical Company and have them send their radio-activity expert, Harold Carlson at once, by means of the invisible train. Margaret R.: Aye, aye, sir. Lee M.: Say, old topper, what's this bally invisible train you speak of? Gilbert R.: It is one of Kynett Haehlen's latest inventions enabling one to trans- form his body i11to radio waves and be sent by wireless to some distant point. Allister Mc: Oh, say, Prof. Kirkham, did you know that Lucille Van Lievv has an electrical laboratory in St. Louis where she employs Ire11e Kenttield, VVayne Baird, Mabel Larson, and Eva Mintzer as her assistants under the direction of the Nick Loffredo Electrical Company? Lee Mussell: Honestly? Say, just look at the pile of letters I received at the dock. Oh, here's one from Cleta Missildine saying that she and Hazel Neal and Velma Morgan have started a shoe factory in Adrianville, Montana. Here's another from Gene Nicholson. YVhat in the world? Say! Here's something I missed. Gene has been acclaimed the greatest sculptor of the century and he has taken the heads of London and Paris society, Jewel Stewart and Dorothy Naylor, by storm. He has established homes built by Sprague and Schmidt, contractors, in both London and New York. He says that he was driving to New York the other day in his'new Ekdahl Airmosine when he met Tom Jones patrolling the air highway just out of the city. By the way, had you heard that Robert Stanley and Kathleen Shreves have started a flying circus for a round-tl1e- world trip? They are using the Stroud-Parsons Airplane. Frances K.: Hello. Here is Harold Carlson, the radio expert. Harold C.: VVhy hello, everybody. XVhat are you laughing at, Lee? Lee Mussell: Do you mean to tell me that you could be condensed to be sent through the air? Harold C.: VVell, it seems like a miracle but it was done. Gilbert R.: I want you to see what you can do to the controlling apparatus, Harold. fHarold-exit.J Allister Mc: Say, what do you think I found yesterday? Gilbert R.: Couldn't guess on a. rainy day. 4 5 I 2 . 332.1 Allister Mc: I found an article in the London Times, edited by Dorothy DeBie, which said that Frances lleskin had just been appointed minister to France. Lee Mussell: VVhat do you know about that? Gilbert R.: Say, what struck me as funny, though, was that Bob Young was ap- pointed Chief of Police under Ellie Ostlund, back in old Des Moines. I just heard it lately. XVho could have imagined Ellie as a city commissioner? Frances K.: That reminds me. Allister has just been given a patent for a door which controls the eruption of Vesuvius. Gilbert R.: Congratulations, old fellow. Allister Me: Say, Gil, now you will have to buy another ship to be in style, for Paul Chainplin has just completed a new type of ship which is being manu- factured by the Devine and Ellison Ship Building Company. Not to change the subject, but I heard the other day that John IVoodmansee was wheeling a baggage truck at the Union Depot in Des Moines. Lee Mussell: That makes me think of Bob VVood. I nearly fell over when I found him driving my taxi to the McDougal and Goff Hotel in Philadelphia last week. Harold C.: Well, here I am back again. It was merely a small adjustment needed in the Goldenson condensing rheostat. Gilbert li.: We've been talking old times this afternoon. XVould you like to join us? V Harold C.: l'll be glad to. Have any of you heard from Dorothy Steady since she put it over on the VVall Street men 5? All: What'I ?? Harold C.: Ivhy, she broke three of the most outstanding men on VVall Street, Donald Guthrie, .lohn Strosnider, and Chester Holdefer. Gilbert R.: Gracious!! l always knew she could break men's hearts but I hadn't heard of her financial wizardry. Lee Mussell: By the way, Professor Kirkham, I heard by this morning's radio report that Margaret Pelton and Edna Johnson have established a delicatessen in New York City. Frances K.: Do you all remember Arthur Kellogg? I saw his name on a billboard of the Lindquist and Kurtzwell Circus. He was posted as their star clown. Gilbert It.: By jove, people, lilll nearly famished. What do you say to a good meal? Lee Mussell: Sounds interesting. Frances and Allister: Fine! : Lee Mussell: Some people who appear entirely wrapped up in their work do at times show glimmerings of common sense. Captain: WVhen do you wish dinner served, sir? Gilbert lt.: At six forty-five. tliooking at watch.J Yes, that will be in fifteen minutes. At six forty-five. Captain: Aye, aye, sir. Gilbert- R.: I have prepa-red a treat for you people in the form of this dinner. May I recall the menu? Let's see now, we'll have: Bishop cream of tomato soup, Borg's swiss steak, Parsons' potatoes and Gould gravy, .Iohnson's cherry salad, Macbeth's bread, MeChesney butter, Mort.on's ice cream, Edward and Peterson cake and I'earlmutter candies-Oh, yes, I forgot, Keeling coffee.

LADYS SWVANSON suggests that Mr. Peterson should provide lemonade Hlld straws, so that the class may prove the suction experiment to their own sat- isfaction. OME few students do pick up paper but none of them are Seniors. Their heads are too high in the air to ever see it. AS it wise in Miss McBride to ask if her Seniors would recommend Carlyle's Essay On Burns to future classes after the former had read it? OROTHY L-Z-E- admits she would rather be herself than a Senior! E'D as soon write a theme as sign all the memory books coming to school this last six weeks. URING a Senior meeting, Mr. Hostetter informed Miss Pritchard that she had said enough. S Physics Dull? AVE you heard the latest?

HE gum coupons around the halls may win a Ford, but they'll never help to win a clean-up campaign. DDED to all of their other responsibilities, the Seniors are considering a plan to be left with Mr. Burton for his aid in conducting school next year. i -lg lzdit rial K .AMATTEROFTRADHION t'Oh, it's a tradition, tradition of the school. Have you ever heard the above expression? Does it mean anything to you? Does it stir latent emotions i11 the deepest fibres of your being? Have you ever stopped to think of this or ask your- self these questions? There are definite reasons why a new school cannot rise to the heights of achievement attained by a school rich in past victories and glorious tra- ditions. It is the deep, surging flood of emotions inspired by these traditions that enables each new-found, unfledged representatve of the school to do his bit and bear farther the banner of success. If one were to ask a Freshman to explain what caused him at times to thrill with emotion, and what caused his jaw to set witl1 determination, all the while his eyes seem to look but see nothing as his mind's eye gazes into the four years stretching out into the future, he would probably flush and say he didn't know. But those of us who are pacing out thc last steps of our journey th1'ougl1 this little democracy of high school know and understand because we, too, have thrilled and have found ourselves. This intangible something we now know as tradition. As we allow our imaginations to rove over the customs and events of the past, then it is that we feel the passion to achieve, inspired by that elusive spirit. It is that force that has energized in East High thc spirit of unity and patriot- ism to the school which has in turn been the foundation on which the only High School Alumni Association of the city has grown up, which has brought about the adoption of a standard Senior Pin so that East High graduates over all the world may be identified as members of one body, which has built up the confidence of the student body in the faculty as friends and helpers, not enemies, and which has caused East High to become nationally famed as a school which backs up a losing team with all the fervor that is usually accorded by other schools only to the most successful winning teams. It is with these things in mind that tl1e Senior Class of nineteen hundred and twenty-four are introducing a custom which they hope will become a tradition, namely: that of passing from one Senior Class to the succeeding one a mantle which will symbolize afresh the confidence of those who are graduating in the ability of their successors to play their parts equally Well in activities, old and new, as the scenes and circumstances change from year to year. HOPE Hope is the life-sustaining spark. We hope and live in that hope. When hope has gone life has gone. Hope breeds loveg love breathes life, but when hope rises in the heart of an ambitious student he does not sit idly by, waiting for it to pass into the state of reality. It becomes a vitalizing spark, supercharged with the determination to tolerate no delay in reaching its ultimate goal. 49 V- .e1'-2 The man who said, Ambition is the seat of success, spoke truly. But speak- ing thus, he thought not of the generating motive. For what is ambition but hope more advanced in form? Imagine a boy, he watches the erection of a huge building. It holds his admira- tion and he hopes to be able to have a part in such an undertaking when he has reached the state of manhood. Years roll by and his hope crystallizes into a definite purpose and ambition. Hope has claimed its own. AN APPRECIATION Music is thc one art which makes some appeal to everyone. A person may not be able to read or write, he may not have time to study great paintings as they must be studied in order to be appreciated, but music will touch some responsive chord in his heart. Our East High Music Department rarely receives the credit due it for its service to the school. It is called upon on any and every occasion, but little con- sideration is given to the time and effort of its members. The general attitude would indicate that Mr. Gilbert simply winds up his musicians as he might a phonog1'aph. Occasionally a few strains of music float out to the rest of us and we say to each other, The orchestra is practicingf, Or perhaps we ask Mary to go down town after school. I can't, replies Mary, I have orchestra. practice. The Dramatic Club puts on one of its always good productions. Before the play, between acts, and after the curtain has gone down for the last time that evening, the orchestra is on the jobf, A special assembly has been planned, but it is not complete without the orchestra. One of the clubs is giving a party and wants music for dancing, I'm sure the orchestra will come. VVe appreciate the service of Mr. Gilbert and his department, but we take it too much for granted, forgetting that East High has not always had someone to give his entire time to music. FRIENDSHIP , VVhat are our high school courses in East High meaning to us? VVhat have they meant to our graduates? Yes, laying a foundation for our future seem to mean so much to us, since granted. No, the foundation isn't all lonely, how discouraging would our all alone. How delightful will it be it is true, as our teachers tell us, that we arc success, but somehow that foundation doesn't we just take that part of our education for There is something more. It's friends. How schooling be, if we had to pursue it alone-H in the future to turn back again and see, not the classroom's books, but the classroom's students and the classroom's teacher. When we read a long, deep, profound sentence, we feel as if we had dived into a deep pool of water and could not reach the bottom. Such is a true friendship. VVe may go to the very bottom, yet the true friend is always willing to meet us when we come to the top-always ready to put out a glad hand to pull us up out of the water. VVe may always depend upon our friends to help us when we need help in our work, and we always look to a friend to laugh with us in our mirth, and be sorrowful with us in ou1' distress. A good many prayers are made in private that the devil would like to see answered. 50 1 51 9 X ig SENIORS 0, Seniors, eldest of high school's band As on the threshold you lingering stand- Are you glad?

IXIARGARET BIARNETTE, '24, LETTER FROM SAMUEL T0 HIS NEPHEW JEREMY Dear Jeremy: VVere you surprised last VVcdnesdayU! I wasn't sure I could come. I had a meeting on-not one of those boring ones, however. This was a very enjoyable meeting. A most beautiful lady, the Countess of NVoodlandville, wants me to paint her portrait. Do you remember the picture of your great-aunt, the one holding the lamb in her arms? VVell, the countess looks something like your aunt, excepting, of course, that her dresses are not so queer. N I took a jaunt up to Polchester yesterday. Then I went over to Riceyrnan Steps. It's an abnormally dull place. There's a funny little book shop, and one tiny inn. I stopped at the inn for tea. The usual bunch of youngsters was scrapping about the Croquet tournament. It made me think of ghosts-the old inn, and Ma.ry there asking me would I have some crumpets. I could tell there were ghosts there. VVhy, in one corner was Muggs, and over there was Darby. Ghosts, like those you see when your aunt makes chicken stew with veal. You'd like the book shop, I'm sure. It there is a mystery connected with it. The man who formerly owned it was a miser. Funny, isn't it, that people like to hoard things? I shouldn't! The story goes that the owner married the woman who kept the inn across the way. They never quarreled-in fact, they never did anything but scold their servants and shiver in the cold of their unheated rooms. It is said the fireplaces were always ready to be lighted, but that the man was too stingy to light a match to them. Finally his wife died from starvation, and he was so lonesome and miserly that he didn't last much longer than his wife. I like queer places. They're interesting. I like queer people, too. Your father doesn't. He calls me queer, but hc doesn't like nie. I expect to have a beastly time with him about my rooms. He says I must leave, and your mother tbless herlj says I may stay in my old rooms. And so Hamlet and I wander about the town to please your father, and then come back at night to please your mother! I'm to paint the Countess in one-half hour. Your Uncle Samuel. IIIARGARET Msux ETTE, '24, O THE EVOLUTION OF SAM Ever since Peg Harbraith had been old enough to be out from under the watchful eye of her mother, Sam Brooks had taken her fishing. Down to old Bradley's Creek they had gone with Sam carrying the poles and small Peg the bait. Mrs. Harbraith always felt that Peg was safe with Sain and she was, too, for Sam was very careful that Peg did not fish out on the rocks as he did. She never came out to him except to bring him bait and then he used to watch every step she took for fear she would fall. Pegls mother often remarked that Sam would make a dancer out of her by making her step so daintily on the rocks as he did. Vtlhen these two took their jaunts, their mothers would visit each other and talk over the futures of the fast growing children. Sam, however, before they left had to promise that he would take good care of Peg, and always ended his promise with the customary Oh Shoo Fly. Shoo Fly! It made Sam feel like a grownup guardian although he was slightly over a year older than Peg. And because they resisted the pleas of the other neighbor children to play, Sam was given the nickname Peg's Beau which he did not altogether dislike. He escorted Peg, small as she was, to all the parties, and tto be briefj lived up to his nickname. He reflected that the name wasn't so bad, for Peg was the prettiest girl he knew. ln Peg's memory the visits made to Sam's Aunt Faith were the most beloved. Aunt Faith was a beautiful, white-haired old lady, who could tell the most inter- esting stories even to young people of her age. One story was especially well liked-the story of an emerald ring that Faith's brother had brought from France. She always showed the beautiful ring to her listeners and ended her narrative with the vow that she would never part from the ring. WVhen Peg was eighteen she was sent to a girls' school in Massachusetts and Sam went to the Virginia University, although his preference was Harvard. They wrote an occasional letter to each other but in a few months the correspondence was neglected altogether. The first summer Peg went to Europe with her aunt and Sam to the Rockies with an elder brother. The second summer was much the same, but the third sum- Iner Peg went home as did Sam, also. The death of his grandfather in California prevented them from continuing their friendship that summer. Toward the middle of August Peg went with a schoolmate, Mildred Somers, to her summer home in the Adirondacks. It was there that she met Cecil Lincoln, a senior at Yale. They were at once attracted to each other for he was good looking and possessed all the qualities of a real man and Peg was a beautiful young lady with a far-reaching personality. During her visit she frequently thought of Sam and of the fishing trips that had to be delayed at least another summer. The height of her career, she thought, came when she was elected president of her senior class. The news somehow reached Sam and he wrote her a brief note of congratulation, again reminding her of the fishing trips that were to be forth- coming. Young Lincoln had written friendly notes frequently but Peg's answers were few and indifferent. 'fHow could I, she thought, 'twhen I have so many important things to do. . Affairs went on to the week before the senior reception and graduation. Cecil had come and was taking her canoeing when The Terrible Thing happened! As she was being helped out of the canoe, Cecil kissed her. She coolly, oh! so coolly, slapped him on the cheek, deliberately wiped her cheek with her dainty handker- chief and left him. 5-l 3 L fi s Out of his sight, she rushed up to her room. She locked the door, threw herself on her bed, and burst into a torrent of tears. As soon as the first fury was over she realized that she, the president- of the senior class, .was without a partner for the Senior Reception, for after the incident with Cecil she was convinced that she would never ask him. Up until three days before the great event she scarcely had time to think of the vacancy that 11u1st be filled. There were scarcely any men of her acquaintance that were not already asked. As she was gazing at the river she had an idea. Sam! Why hadn't she thought of him before? But would he accept at this late notice? She wired him immediately and he accepted in the same manner. Now what next? She recruited all her best friends and made them promise that if Sam asked any of them to dance, they must, for her sake, accept, for she had conceived the idea that Sam was still the red-haired, freekled, awkward boy that she had always known. The night of the reception arrived and as she dressed she wondered if Sam had changed much, if he would be there on time, and if he would look like the other boys. Of course, she reassured herself, Sam has never failed me yet. As the girls went into the decorated hall, they laughed and chattered and tried 11ot to feel any concern while their eyes sought those of their partners. Peg was the first to go in and as she glanced down the line of waiting men all holding bouquets, she discovered with sudden panic that Sam was not there. She paused and turned to excuse herself to the girl back of her, and as she turned a familiar voice spoke at her elbow. VVell, Peg. lt. was Sam's voice, but the fellow himself-this was not the Sam she knew or had pictured. This was a bronze-haired, handsome Sam that stood there smiling down at her, with a beautiful bouquet in his hand. H1 wc Sv I ' f ' '0. .', H 01, Sam, sie trllled a ter finding her Nolte, l didn't know you. O Shoo Fly! he answered rather foolishly. Yes, it was the old Sam. After the first preliminaries were over the dancing started. Girls and men all over the room were casting admiring glances toward Sam, who was much taller than anyone else in the room. She regretted the dances he was to have with the other girls because she wanted him all to herself. She might have known that Sam would do honor to her. At periods during the evening little exclamations could be heard from the girls who had just discovered some gift in their bouquet. Peg, glancing down at hers, brought forth a small white satin covered box. She glanced at Sam, but he had turned away whistling. Peg snapped back the cover, and there on the little satin pillow lay The Emerald Ring l-Aunt Faith's emerald ring. Where'? Why? she asked breathlessly. f'Mother traded some of Great-grandfather Aker's letters for it, he answered softly. Peg knew how much the letters of the Revolutionary general had been prized and also the ring. She tried to thank him but could scarcely find her voice. She finally did succeed and was rewarded for her efforts by Sam's saying: Oh Shoo Fly!

I do enjoy that refreshing child so thoroughly. She is simply adorable. Mr. S. Qproudlyj : People say she takes after me. Miss H. Cdropping her eyesj : O, Mr. Smithers- Mr. S.: VVon't you-- Miss H.: But you havenlt told me where Gwen is. Mr. S. limpatientlyjz She's with Mr. Withers looking at the animals in the zoo. I promised to take her to see the animals but just as we were going into the building I saw you, and as Mr. VVithers happened to be there I asked him to take care of Gwen. Miss H.: VVhy, Mr. Smithers, I was waiting for Mr. Vliithers when you came up. But it was clever of you. Mr. S.: Ha-ha, I knew you'd enjoy the joke. My rival showing my daughter the zoo, while I bask in the smiles of my lady. Would I could enjoy them every morning for breakfast, and for lunch, and for dinner. Won't you- Miss H.: O, Mr. Smithers, have you read this book? It's the most thrilling thing, called Flossie the Fragile Fishing Flower. Flossie was in a boat fishing when the bridge above broke in-- Mr. S.: O, I adore fishing. Miss H.: So do I.

Mr. S. ftimidlyj : You-you haven't stolen any of those lions or tigers, have you? Gwen: O, no. But it's so funny, and to think I never thought of it before. O, papa, it's such a joke! Miss H. and Mr. S.: What is? Gwen: IVhy, papa's my zoo, and maybe he can get into the circus and take me along. Mr. S. fgazing at Miss HJ : If I could only take you, too. Miss H.: But, Gwen dear, what makes you think your father could get into the circus? 56 Gwen: VVhy, because he's a zoo, of oourse.

The biggest fool in the world is the fool who does not know he is a fool, and bright is the man who realizes that there are always things to be learned. 57 2 X Zglgs TURNING POINTS-A SYMPOSIUM LITERARY EFFORTS The turning point of my life came when I was eleven years old. It was then that I dipped my pen in author's ink. I had just linished reading Bryantls t'Thana- topsis,'l and believing that I could write a poem that would compete with it I wrote a long and vivid appeal to Death, to come and bear me to the stars, snatching me away from this life of misery and arithmetic problems. I spent hours reclining on my draped couch of death, a huge water plant and enormous tree branches draped over me. tMy father was delighted and told me how glad he was that I had begun to study Botany seriously, at last.j I even collected time-worn rocks and an old stump, but I rebelled at bringing in worms. I would then moan out Thanatopsis'l and my own poem, and at last bring both to a climax by sighing dramatically and falling back in a feigned, tranquil sleep. I remember at the time dreaming of taking the whole scene on the stage and giving the public something newj even today I believe the Heffectl' would be a success! But my masterpiece went no farther than my father's hands who became seriously concerned about my mental condition. My mother was more considerate and 11ever did anything more discouraging than to threaten hysteria when one of my death poems was read. From that day I have stumbled along YVriter's Lane-but just wait until I bring out a best seller and I shall have my revenge, because I have sincerely resolved that when I am famous the Editors of Harpers, Sribners, Century, Metro- politan and so on, may come and kneel at my feet begging and praying me to write them somethingg but they will receive not a line, because I will remember the days of my youth. Ah, my heart fills with joy at the very thought of it! I hate to think of the bank account that I would have today if I had all the stamp money collected which I have sent to Editors. But, after all, it is consoling to know that my collection of rejection slips will compete with those of any writer. Only the years will tell if I can thank Bryant or not for changing my youthful ambitions. But I have at last come to the conclusion that one Thanatopsis is enough for the world! ROSABELLE HoUsToN, '26. A LION AMONG LADIES The great moment occurred on a very windy day when I was walking down the busiest street of the small but thriving town of Manilla. As I reached the corner, I happened to glance toward another corner where stood the lady of my dreams. I was watching the graceful figure and looking at her beautiful face when amidst my musings the wind blew my hat from my head. Of course, I started chasing it down the sidewalk very much embarrassed, but when I had almost reached it, an automobile drove by so close that it almost took my breath away and dragged my hat to the corner where the beautiful lady was standing. I reached down to pick up the hat and I rose so suddently that I al- most knocked someone down. Upon looking to see who it was, I was amazed to find that the lady had chosen this time of all times to cross the street. I immediately begged her pardon and tried to show my embarrassment as little as possible-a thing which must have been a miserable failure because the beau- tiful lady only lifted her head higher and passed by me without even acknowl- edging my apology. I was so disgusted to think that I had made no impression upon her Cat least not a favorable onej that I scarcely knew what to do. I contemplated all sorts of punishment, but finally decided that it was not my fault after all. She should have looked where she was going instead of expecting others to do 58 it for her. I may be a bit old-fashioned, but I decided that women are all alike. They might give one all the reason in the world to think that he was winning them over and suddenly turn upon him, and sting his poor heart. I therefore resolved that I should thereafter leave all of the opposite sex to choose some other man to make life happy for them, for I do and will live very satisfactorily without them.-which, after all, is all that is necessary. ORVILLE I 1:1+:1+:sToNE, '26. , FREE LOVE I have not lived long in this large world, but during my very brief sojourn here I have made many observations, alld from them drawn many conclusions re- garding a number of things that are constantly confronting the young men and women of our generation. Although young in years I feel that I have a rather more mature mind than the average person of my age. lt is my earnest desire in this paper to set forth before the public another of my theories which has proved very successful. As I told you in one of my former papers, I have always been very much interested in the fair sex, or possibly I should say in the fairer sex. Because of my peculiarities I have been called by a few of those who fail to understand me, The Womanls Home Companionf, This is due partly to the fact that I am a thorough believer in free love. My theory has been very vigorously attacked by some contemporary writers who, because they are entirely ignorant of the true facts of the case, have ridiculed me greatly, thus causing me much annoyance and embarrassment. My purpose in writing this paper is thus made two-fold, first, to make public the true facts of my pet theory, and thereby correct the wrong im- pression given many people by the aforementioned unenlightened ones, second, to help, if possible, some other poor souls who are struggling aimlessly in a vain endeavor to find the truth. I have not always been a believer in free love, and until I met a certain person of the opposite sex, I was in the same predicament that many of our young people are in today. Not many years ago I was first perplexed by a longing that seemingly could not be gratified. I was spending my small fortune foolishly, wasting my life in 0116 riotous caprice after another in a vain desire to satisfy my cravings. The more I spent and the more riotously I lived, the worse the craving for something different became. At last, it was my good fortune to be voted into that delightful club, The Bohemians, and here I found the solution of my problem. The method by which I came upon the solution is of no consequence and would be of no value or interest to my readers. In desperation I hit upon an idea through which I saw a faint glimmer of light-the light of salvation, as I later found, from my previous ways of living. After many experiments, I found that the only way by which I might enjoy myself, and still keep my fortune, was to become an exponent and practitioner of free love. And now, dear reader, I shall keep you in no more suspense, or possibly I should say, I shall not bore you any longer. The whole problem is this: Boys, be careful in choosing your feminine com- panions! Try to avoid gold-diggersl' and choose instead a nice, quiet young lady who would rather sit and converse with you upon some topic of mutual in- terest, rather than one who prefers to go gallivanting and carousing around the village on a fool's errand. And now, patient reader, you see for yourself the utter simplicity of my theory. The plan to follow is to get them young, tell them nothing, treat them gently, spend no money on them, and make them like it. If any of my readers have derived any benefit from my humble writing, I shall feel successful, indeed. Thus, you see, I am an ardent expounder of free love. The freer the better, and the freer the less expensive. GLENN WILSON, '24. 59 X l -ive.--ref? CONSOLATION FOR POOR SPELLERS The younger generation through their heedlessness and thoughtlessness is bring- ing about the ruin of their country. They are unconcernedly wending their way through educational institutions with the air of toleration for such unimportant matters as Hreadinl, 'ritinl, and lritlimeticf' These are things of the past. To simplify matters students have organized a new club to promote and im- prove methods of spelling. This club has taken tor its name The Free for All. Every member is entitled to entire freedom in spelling, according to the various enunciations of the one speaking. A special committee has been appointed to form a new dictionary of all the newly spelled words. However, this is not for use, for that would not be consistent with the idea of the club. It is only put on exhibition for all those desiring to form similar clubs. At the meetings the members are entertained with gamesg guessing the meaning of words spelled according to someone else's idea. In the downtown offices employers are now daily amused by endeavoring to discover the origin of the words used by their oihce force as their letters are inspected before being mailed. These proof readings are a diversion for the employer and relieve the monotony of the daily work. Thus we are slowly wandering away from the old and fast rules of the use of the dictionary. But, let us try to preserve a few copies of VVebster's Dictionary so that we may show to curious people, in future years, this old antique, now spelled a-n-t-e-e-k, a-n-t-e-k-e or a-n-t-i-k.

'60 e W s THE GLAMOUR OF THE PAST One's childhood is spent in a more or less glamorous world which is almost tinged with unreality. As one grows older, he allows the opinions and ideas of wise men to seep through the impenetrable wall of fancy guarded so jealously during childhood, and life thereby assumes a more placid and stereotyped cast. One's mind interest is at all times a peculiarly transitory thing, here we have a Byronesque out- look on life, indulge unconsciously in an imitation of Romain Rolland's deep- scarred philosophy of life, and perhaps for a time enlarge on Jane Austen's curiosity. At such times we are hardly ourselves, and our mind, keen only to the point of delving into the teachings of other men and applying them in a half- hearted way to ourselves, settles laxly into indifference and unproductivity. But if one's mind has a tendency to be rarely active-active, that is, in the strictest sense of the term-his senses, particularly to agreeable things, are ex- traordinarily alert. I shall always remember my first reading of the passage from Keat's Ode to a Grecian Urn: f'More happy love! More happy, happy love. Forever warm and still to be enjoyed, Forever panting afnd forever young. So pure and rich a thought seemed to me beautifully to express the rareness of sensation, and instantly a rush of memories was called forth-the feeling that swept over me as I hurried down a quiet, lamp-lit street where the blue, smoky haze from several crackly bonfires rose and filtered through the clean airg and another time when I was in a bobsled which shot straight down a long, white road until it came to an unexpected curve and threw me out into the snowg then my first party .... There had been parties, yesg but stiff, horrid little afternoon affairs where one sat precisely in her best dress actually bored to tears by the lack of diversion. At such times one welcomed anything, even though it were only the announcement of refreshments at which invariably a line almost resembling a chain gang was formed. The only difference between this and a real chain gang, so to speak, was that the former was made up of very silent and pathetic little girls whose only sensation was that of a monstrous relief from staring stupidly at one another, while one of the more sprightly ones attempted to extract a few words from them severally. But this-this was a party! To begin with, it was no children's party at all, but a real, grown-up dinner-theatre-lunch affair to which I was most especially invited by my aunt. VVe went to a very large and splendid hotel to dine, and to my un- sophisticated eyes the place assumed all the glamour of Monte Carlo, although I suppose the people there were only a gathering of quite commonplace persons. I remember quite clearly, however, the rather mild sensation which the entrance of a woman entirely dressed in white created. She was without doubt the most beautiful woman I had seen up to that time. After that I could do nothing but toy with the intriguing little pastry concoctions as I watched her. Then the play! . . . Rather oddly fsince it was almost ten years agoj I remember that it was The Bird of Paradise, but beyond that I have no remembrance save that of the final scene in which the Hawaiian girl stands poised at the top of the burning bed of lava. Its blazes must have had a lurid influence on me, for I have always enter- tained the impression that that night was a sort of gateway to wickedness, al- though my aunt protested that it was all in one's viewpoint. Still with the risk of being considered wholly frivolous, I persist in going on tsince my list of iirsts has occupied so much space in this paperl with my first dance. To begin with, I lived almost in a state of caoma, excepting those times when I emerged to indulge in a glorious Bight of anticipation-during the week of the 61 'Z W X fig dance. Wlleii the days finally did pass, and the Day itself crept to the magic hour, I was torn between an insatiable desire instantly to be transported to the club, and a growing fear that my extreme youth would be a bit de trap. lt happened tn be that time when everyone who was quite up on things was very languorous, very blase, and very sophisticated. Imagine, then, my bubbling, wide-eyed entrance into the dressing room where only the most polite and subdued emotion was dis- played. I might falthough I awure the reader very solemnly that I was not gauchej as well have bolted precipitately into a church where everyone was on his knees praying, the effect would have been the same, except that in this case my hideous blunder lay in my portrayal of innocent joy which Qto be fashionablej should have been zealously guarded from the public eye. Still, I carried the thing off rather neatly fconsidering my beginningj and with so much assumed poise that even the fascinating habitues before thc glass were deceived. Like them I cooed in just the fragile tone that they affected, Oh, do you have some rouge? I forgot mine-so stupid of me! and patted with just the proper amount of complacency the billowy folds of my chiffon. Then, conscious of a mild sensation fthis without egotism, let me hasten to addj even in that group par excellence, I allowed myself to be gently borne on the crest of the wave descending the stairs. Once launched-the term grew more significant as the evening wore on-into the crowd of dancers, everything came to my attention so furiously and with such giddy confusion that, what with whirling suddenly into other couples, puffing at already huge balloons, escaping from a bombardment of confetti and streamers, it was no small wonder that I declared my utter fatigue comparatively early and wailed for ices-anything to escape from the excited hum of it all. After that, although the whole Bohemian-like scene seemed rather to increase than diminish in mermment, I felt a little weary of it all. And though I have since gone to an infinite number of dances-some of them really tremendously fascinat- ing-none of them has ever reached in a certain charm and romanticism the simple joy of my first dance. Perhaps this may be explained by the fact that the Hrst dance is, so to speak, a state of mind, 'with a raison d'etre, while the ones which fol- low, robbed of their forerunner's implicit faith in the existence of a Utopia, are marked by a tedium which definitely stamps them as something merely to be tol- erated. MIDSUMMER MAGIC Wlieii the sun has reached its journey's end And leaves its memory in the sky in graceful lines of magic colors, Then the South Wind begins to blow and sing among the tree-tops, Soothing the tired souls of mortals with gentle caressesg And the fairy folk light their coaches with fire-flies and sail away to moon-light balls in dewy nooks. The drowsy bird murmurs sweetly in its pleasant dreams, The friendly stars come out and guard the Earth, Whispering silent secrets to kindly souls, Century-old trees murmur their blessings on all man-kind and softly whisper of old Romances long forgotten in the mind of man, And the breath of Nature's flowers fills the night with holy incense, The weird cry of the hooting owl stirs the souls with madness and unrest- Then secret dreams long sleeping in the heart of man-awaken! But when the sun begins its journey once more, the magic of the night flies with the shadows, And the reality of Day sits upon the throne of the Prairie.

FABLE OF THE TWO BROTHERS Once upon a time there were two brothers. VVhen each came of age he inherited S5100,000. The first brother invested his money wisely and in the course of time had more than doubled the original sum. The second brother bought an expensive car, did not try to save money, and at the end of the same length of time had nothing left. He borrowed a few dollars and started out to seek help from his rich -brother. But- when he reached the supposedly rich man's home, he found his brother, too, was penniless. The day before he had taken his money from the banks and put it into oil wells. MORAL-VVhen a teapot upsets someone usually gets scalded.

MARVELOUS TALE OF A HERO AND HEROINE The Hero and Heroine were both on board the ocean-liner which was crossing the Pacific Ocean. Anyone would have known them for a Hero and Heroine. Such characters are so distinctive it is impossible to overlook them. The rest of the people are of minor importance. When the ship came close to an uninhabited island, several of the travelers decided they wanted to visit the island. A small boat, containing, with others, our Hero and Heroine, consequently set forth for the island. The Hero and Heroine started out by themselves. The natural con- clusion of course would be that they forgot all about time and remained stranded upon the island. That is where the marvelous feature comes in. After the Heroine stopped three times to shake the sand from her slippers, she looked at her wrist- watch, which must have been within five minutes of the correct time, and, to tell the truth, they were the first ones back to the boat.-Finis.

FLIGHTS OF FANCY If one would believe on faith the teachings of relentless advocates of higher culture, he might stop short of reading Mother Goose rhymes. lVe have in mind fto be specificj some of the very ponderous literary products of the younger genera- tion whieh simply will have our attention riveted firmly on the sterner stuff of life without permitting even a wisp of fancy to creep in at the corners. But, here, with editorial freedom, we have recovered our slumbering independence and with a modest flourish offer the reader our version of the Mother Goose rhymes a la mode. I. Carl Sandburg, with gusty contempt, rids himself with succinct clearness of his opinion: Pumpkins-go ahead and talk about pumpkins. That's what Peter ate. And look at him: couldn't even keep his wife. He had no brains-but still There have been others-poor fools! Who wouldn't even have thought of the pumpkin shell. Yes, Pete wasn't so bad, he kept her there. Pumpkins-they're all right. II. With sly humor, Charles Dickens lays his finger on the real situation: Peter, although a cringing and apologetic sort of human, did no soft violence to the gravity of the house over which his wife so vigorously ruled. There was no light nonsense about Peter's wife. Peter had only to ask humbly for a bit of food Ceven though it was largely 'tfairylike and toomultousvj to call down the wrath of his more or less devoted wife. None of your halfway measures for Peter's wife. She must be shut-clear shutginto a pumpkin shell, and then Peter guarded over it like a ghoul. III. William Cullen Bryant regards the jaunt with a gentle philosophy: Whither, midst falling dew, While glow the fields with the golden hue of pumpkins, Far through their lengthening rows dost thou pursue Thy solitary way? There is a wife whose trips Teach thy way along that pathless coast- Of pumpkin shells and chiding lips- Love wandering, but not lost. She who from shell to shell Leads through the boundless field thy certain chase, In the harsh words that thou must quell Will keep thy mind from being base. IV. Robert Burns, with all enveloping sympathy, theoretically embraces Peter with his admonitions: Poor, cow'rin', tim'rous Peter, Oh, what a task it is to keep her! Thou needna start away sae nasty wi' bickering brattle. Thou'st put your bonnie in th' shell Wi' murd'ring pattle! 64 Q P N X-H 1- 'S h V. Oliver Wendell Holmes dwells ponderously on the structure of the shell: Build thee more solid shells, O Pumpkin Eater! Before thou start'st again to beat her, Leave thy unhappy home, Let each new pumpkin, with greater space to roam Have stronger locks to keep tight shut the dome Till she at length is eowed, Leaving her outgrown soul to make thee proud. Vl. Edgar Allan Poe, the incurable romantic, waves a sad farewell to his glorious spouse with the proper proportion of melodrama: It was many and many a year ago In a pumpkin by the house, That a woman there lived whom you may know By the name of Peter's spouse. And this woman she lived with no other thought Than to chase and be chased by him. VII. Katharine Mansfield, with her characteristic tendency to catalog possible and impossible persons, allows a vague doubt as to Peter's social standing to 77 ereep in: 'tAnd was a person named Peter there TW said the Old Woman. Then the creak, ereak of her rocker. Peter! cried Jill. My dear mother, you never saw such a person. Therels not another like him. Do you remember that common, stupid little man who eame to us all a-tremble last week asking about his wife? That's Peter. His wife has run away, said Daffy-Down-Dilly suddenly. Still, that doesn't signify anything particularly? came from the Old VVoman easily. But why, when one has the shell and all, and he has kept her in it-- began Jill. Oh, quite so, darlingf' erooned the Old NVoma.n. VIII. Wle shall permit Henry XVadsworth Longfellow to round off the subject with a subdued Hiawathian tour-h: By the driveway of the Perkins', By the shining Big-Rain-Spout, Stood Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater, Pointing with his finger westward, 0'er the tree stump pointing westward, To the fleeing form of woman, Fiercely pulling his great boots on, Hurried he behind the woman, Followed fast those dainty footprints, Followed in that graceless war-trail, With his pumpkin hard beside him. G 5 THE DEATH TEMPLE As I have always been interested in archaeology I was more than delighted when Professor Baker, an old friend of my father and a professor of archaeology, invited me to accompany him 011 a trip to some ancient ruins in Colorado. IVe decided to make the journey by railroad, and after a few days spent in buying supplies' we departed. About the third day, while we were passing through a wild but beautiful canyon, our train came to a sudden stop. IVe piled out to learn the cause of the stop. YVhen we found that a landslide had occurred which made it impossible to proceed for several hours, we decided to take our lunch and go for a tramp in the canyon. IVe wandered about, lured by more beautiful landscape and fiowers, from one canyon into another. When we stopped for our lunch we were a full five miles from the train. Great towering bluffs of red sandstone, studded here and there with glistening quartz, loomed on both sides, giving an aspect of grandeur such as I l1ad never before seen. Millions of years ago, perhaps, there was only a small river fiowing through a level plain, but by constant and persistent tearing away of stone there, the stream has worn these great canyons into the solid rock. Upon finishing our lunch, we decided we had better return to the train, so we set out in the direction from which we had come. After following the canyon for a distance we found that it branched into two smaller ones. I was sure we had come down the o11e to the right, but Professor Baker was sure it was the one to the left. VVe had quite an argument but we finally fiipped a coin. Heads, I said, and f'tails it was, of course. IVe went down the one to the left and had not gone far when we heard the whistle of the train. IVe were too late! It was dusk by the time we found that we had followed the wrong trail. NVe decided that we had better camp where we were, as plenty of firewood and a brook of fresh cold water were at hand. YVe built a large fire to drive off the chill and any Wild beasts that might be wandering nearby. VVe ate the remainder of our lunch, but it did 110t satisfy us and we went to sleep hungry. During the night I awoke suddenly with the strange feeling that -danger lurked near at hand. I heard a crackling in the darkness outside of the circle of light, and detected a dark form crouching in the dusk. Seizing a blazing fire brand, I hurled it in the direction of the shadow. A great crashing of brush and a piercing, blood- curdling, almost human scream, and the animal disappeared. I did not sleep any more that night and the next morning we found tracks which proved that our nocturnal visitor was a huge mountain lion. NVe then set out to find our way back, but it seemed we must have gone in the wrong direction as we did not come upon the main canyon by noon. IVe sat down to rest and sud- denly Professor Baker called my attention to what looked like a group of ruined stone houses. They were located on a cliff directly across the canyon. Hoping to find some one who could direct us on our way, we hastened toward the ruins. VVe found that hand and foot holds had been chiseled into the solid rock of the cliff. VVe started on the way up, fearful that any minute a shower of rock might descend upon us. We finally reached the top and the ruins of a prehistoric town confronted us. Scattered about were old stone buildings, many fallen into ruins, others in fairly good condition, but all deserted. In some we found stoneware containing what had probably been grain. In others, stone pots were suspended over cold ashes. It appeared that an evening meal had been in preparation at the time that they were last used. VVe found no trace of the original inhabitants, not even a bone. In some stoves we found elaborate preparations for the evening meal, which had never 66 'Z f . frgs been eaten. VVe found a large building of much better construction than the rest of the buildings and in better condition. It had a large opening for a door. Somehow, the very appearance of the place gave me a feeling of dread. WVe entered the door and looked about us. The sight that me our eyes would have appalled the most in- different person. YVe found ourselves in a large circular room, lighted by a circular opening i11 the ceiling. All over the tloor and huddled against the walls were skele- tons. This, evidently, was their place of worship, for at one end of the room was a large stone altar. Stretched upon it lay another skeleton and across it still another skeleton, and a stone knife lay shattered on the tloor as if it had fallen from the hand of the latter. From the appearance of the positions and number of the skele- tons, I felt that a large crowd had been present and then had fallen and died. Not any too desirous of remaining in the temple, we went outside. The scene in the temple gave me cold chills but set me thinking. NVhat had happened to these people? They had 11ot starved, for evidence of food was everywhere apparent. VVhile we had been examining the ruins a storm had been approaching, unnoticed. Great black rolling masses of clouds swept across the sky, obscuring the su11 from view and leaving us in almost total darkness. Then the rain came in torrents. VVe hurried into the nearest house and imagine my horror to fine that we were agai11 in tl1e temple! The rain was pouring through the opening in tl1e roof, so we had to dive into a hall-way leading off from the main room in order to escape the down- pour. The rain kept coming down without any sign of abating. I settled my- self into a more comfortable position and tried to go to sleep. From the position in which I lay I could see the outlines of the skeletons in the semi-darkness. Now, I am not superstitious, but somehow I could not keep the cold chills from running down my back. Suddenly, I stared in astonishment and half imagined I was crazy. The skele- tons were moving! They arose and began moving about. ' Gradually the bones faded away and a group of people-men, women and children-stood in their stead. They appeared to be Indians and among them were ten white-robed priests. There were several who were bound, lying in a corner and over o11e of these pris- oners a young Indian maiden hovered. She put her arms around him and with tears in her eyes kissed him just as she was rudely shoved aside and two of the priests carried the prisoner to the altar. Then the high priests began to speak. It was then that I noticed that I was seriously incapacitated. The priest was appar- ently speaking, though I could hear no sound. I tried to yell, but could not move my lips. The priest raised his hand and all of tl1e audience did likewise and appeared to yell something. The priest raised his right hand, knife in hand, then there was an uproar. The Indian maiden rushed forward and grasped tl1e priest's hand. She was torn away and held by two attendants. The knife began to descend. Suddenly the darkness was broken by a dazzling Hash and the uncanny silence by a rending crash. I jumped up and immediately found that lightning had struck somewhere close by. I had only been dreaming when I was interrupted by the Hash of light- ning and the crash of thunder. The next morning we found that lightning had struck close by. It had struck the altar splitting it in halves and scattering the skeletons about promiscuously. WVe left the temple and walked to the brink of the precipice. We found a party of men ascending by the footholds. VVe hailed them and found that it was a searching party that had been hunting for us. We continued our journey uninterrupted. VVe visited other ruins but I am sure that none of them impressed me so much as the Death Temple. LOWELL FLETCHER ,24. 67 - I Q ---JQW X ART Jane! VVhere are you going? Come here at once l Jane paused on the top of the fence and then dropped back to the garden and went toward her mother who was on the side porch. 'tAnswer me immediately, Jane,', commanded Mrs. Clinton, and then without waiting for a reply, she continued, You were going to play with that boy next door. I? But, mama, interrupted Jane, VVhy can't I go? He's a nice boy and his mama makes awful good cookies. Very good cookies, Jane. Y-yessum, a-anl he-L I do not believe this Thompson boy to be the right playmate for you, Jane. I have never heard of the family. His parents do not- belong to the Country Club. I know nothing of their social rating so they must have none. And such a common name-Thompson l It's a pretty name, mamafl protested Jane vehemently. Mrs. Clinton continued, As a punishment you must stay at home this after- noon. You may go to your room now. Jane remained in her room until two-thirty, when sure of her mother's absence, she skipped out of the house and across the garden. After climbing the fence- she dropped down into Pat's back yard. Before her was a strangely glorious Pat. His red hair was dyed orangep his face was green while his waist was polka-dotted with both colorsy In his hand was a paint brush, on the ground a paint can and before him a newly bedeeked dog- kennel. At all this Jane gaped eestatically. Then she spoke. Hello, Pat. VVhat you doing that fora! Can I paint, too T' Pat laughed sarcastically. Aw, l guess you'd do a hot job a' painting. You haven't no talent l But couldn't I get some, Pat G! Aw, this is hard. Ya' gotta know all about 'art' an' 'color scheme' and 'tone value' an'-arflan' 'atmosphere' to be an artistfl IVell, how do you know then, Pat? Guess I could learn them as well as you. No, you couldn't. I gotta book and studied hard, an' it came easy to me 'cause my father's a painter so my genius is natural. Jane ber-ame artful. But if you would teach me, Pat-then I could learn. To this Hattery Pat succumbed. After a long explanation Jane was allowed to dabble a little orange paint on the dog'-kennel and quite a little on herself. That evening a.fter the expected scolding was over, Jane babbled knowingly of art and Pat to an inattentive mother. But finally Mrs. Clinton's attention was obtained. K6 4'--he said so. An' mama, Pat's papa says he can grow up to be a painter like him. Pat's got a book about art and color depth and blending. Jane, what are you chattering about D? Jane looked reproachful. YVhy, mama, didn't you hear? It's about Pat. He's got a book--7' Did you say his father was an artist? Perhaps that accounts for the eccentric commonness-that is the democratic touch to their name. Can I go see Pat tomorrow? queried Jane, encouraged by the friendliness of her mother's voice. We shall see,'Jane. The next afternoon Mrs. Clinton and Jane called upon Mrs. Thompson, who 68 proved to he a pleasant, iniddle-aged lady with ei manner Hrs. Clinton now called democratic hut which yesterday might have been duhhed common. i The conversation progressed quite ng'r'ceahly until the children who were sented zu-ross the room hegjan a ludicrous discussion of color depth. Put proclaimed the result depended on the amount of paint piled on while Juno argued that it depended upon the distances from which the observer looked. The two mothers listened ax few moments smiling at the seeming technical knowledge, then demovratizf Mrs. Thompson spoke: 'tlt's amusing how my son imitates his father. Don't you think l Mrs. Clinton thought it admirable. His father is a sign-painter, you know, continued rommon Mrs. Thompson. There was a frozen silence. Mrs. t'liuto-n sat motionless. Then she rose abruptly. Come, Jane, she said. WVe must go now. Good day Mrs. Thompson Y and She obviously meant 'tgood-live! LETHA Hi'N'I'l-LR.

YVe wal- loped North High in golf on May Sth, and have a meet at Grinnell on the 10th. We have good-sized squads out for both tennis and golf, and we expect to have some real teams. Summing things up, we have not done badly. lVe have one state champion- ship and have kept two of the three city titles that we won last year. So even those who count only the wins have no reason to feel ashamed ot' our record for the athletic year 1923-24. EAST MAKES FINE SHOWING AT DRAKE RELAYS The Drake Relays, April 25th-26th, gave us a fair idea of the strength of our track team. Those who doubted whether our home meet and Freshman stars of last year could come throughn were soon satisfied. Competing without a letter man from last year, East made the best showing of any of the local l1igh schools. In fact, the boys made the best showing that any of the local schools has made for about two years. On Friday, April 23th, our medley team, composed of Gordon Lagerquist, Robert Turner, Eugene Keefner, and Ernest Porter, who ran in the order named, finished fourth in the class A medley, beating out Cedar Rapids for the place. Then four boys who, prior to that day, had never represented East High on the cinders, proceeded to show four pairs of heels to our opponents in the special half-mile relay for Des Moines High Schools. The boys got along nicely, and their baton passing, always an important feature in relay racing, was a treat to see, especially since the Wlest High anchor man threw his 'tload away in a desperate but vain attempt to catch t'Bob Turner, who ran last for us. The boys won a challenge cup, and have only to win the Des Moines High School half-mile relay two more times to keep the cup. The team and the order in which the boys ran is as follows: Leo Abrahamson, Eugene Kuefner, Gordon Lagerquist, Robert Turner. On Saturday the same boys opened the ceremonies by running in the class A half-mile relay. The competition was a bit stiff, and we pulled up in sixth place. Then our quarter-mile relay relay team, consisting of Warren Fischer, Eugene Keefner, Gordon Lagerquist, and Robert Turner, took third place in their section of the class A quarter-mile relay. Cedar Rapids, the winner in this section, set a new American High School record, so we didn't do so badly after all. Unfor- tunately, two other teams in the other section a'so made record time, and as the final places were awarded on a basis of comparative time, East lost out. In the two-mile relay East finished second only because Vincent of Ottumwa is one of the best high school half-milers in the middle west. ttErnie Porter gave the Ottumwa sky-scraper a mighty race, but the latter finally won out for his team. Our team ran as follows: Joe Story, Edwin Sehlenker, George Bourland and Ernest Porter. With the Drake Relays as our barometer we may safely say that East High has a track team that will be hard to beat. t EAST AND WEST TIE IN CITY TRACK MEET On Saturday, May 3rd, VVest High came out to the Drake Stadium with tl1e avowed intention of taking the city track title back home with them. For a while it seemed as if the Maize and Blue would realize their hopes, but we hap- pened to have three pole vaulters who, like fiction heroes, came to the rescue in the final event of the day by tying for tirst place in the pole vault. By tying' in this event the boys also tied the meet, both East and Nllest having 57 points apiece. North High gathered in 20 points for third place, while Roosevelt picked 72 his 17' ' -Y' 2 c r X x XS, Q up 18. Lincoln failed to score, but should not he discouraged, as tl1ey have only the ninth and tenth grades to pick from. ln the near future we older schools may expect some real competition from the south side school. 1Vhcn one recalls that of all the East Iligh boys who participated in tl1is city meet, only tive were in this meet last year, and of those five just one scored a point then, the performances of our boys were really something to brag about. Besides hanging on to the city track title, the boys set two new records. 'tErnie Porter galloped a half-mile faster than anybody had ever do11e before in this meet. tearing around the track twice in two minutes, five and three-fifths seconds, good time. Carrol Garland loosened up his underpinnings and helped Brunk of Roose- velt set a new high jump record, eaeh boy jumping tive feet, four inches. There were also two more records broken. Don Smith of XVest High flew over twenty feet seven inches of earth for a new broad jump record, while Voss. the weight man from the same school, tossed the discus one hundred thirteen feet for another record. The meet was attended by a small but enthusiastic crowd which was kept con- stantly on its collective toes by the closeness of the events.

End, Fischer, Kuefner, Lagerquist Turner THE CITY TRACK MEET FROM THE INSIDE Vtvell, the crown is still ours-a little battered and dented, but ou1's just the same. Bohn Turner drew a laugh when, after being beaten in both of the short dashes, he said, Get out of my way. I'm gonna try Don Smith's wind in this half-mile relay. VVasn't it tough that we had only three pole vaulters entered in the meet? Eugene Kuefner did a full day's work. He ran one race in the morning and four in the afternoon. If there had been two meets, he might have got warmed up. Georges Bourland is either a hero or a villiang I don't know which. He got out of bed to throw the shot and won fourth place. He was too sick to run the mile, which he had a good chance to win. The point he made in the shot-put kept us from losing the meet, but the two points he might have added to our total in the mile run would have won the meet for ns. Use your own judgment. To bad Jones and Gibson fell just when eaeh one was leading his heat ot the low hurdle preliminaries. ' Did you notice how Leo Abrahamson crow-hopped over the high hurdles and almost beat Bolyard of North who won? Watch Abe next year. He'll make 'em all step some. Harry Lindbloom came in after the mile relay. t'Ran a good quarter, Harry, said the coach. I know it, Harry confided. 'tl been savinl that for a week. 735 The Girls Athletic Lcogue Vi I i l A - itil? i ,J mir .i i 5 6 , GIRLS' ATHLETIC LEAGUE The past year has held many happy hours for the Hgirl athlete. It seems that each year there is a larger group of girls out', than the year before, and so new and different classes must be held to give each girl an opportunity to partici- pate in the sport she likes best. There has been an exceptionally varied program this year. During the fall season baseball prevailed, and then as the snows came on and prohibited the playi11g out of doors, volley ball became the leading sport. Now that jolly Mr. Sun has come again, the disturbed baseball teams have taken up their work. Tennis is another game that the disappearance of the sun held up until spring, But now again, it is progressing very fast under the supervision of Mr. VVinslow. The courts are open and they look very inviting to the players. Folk dancing has taken the eyeH of the girl who desires to follow some line of athletic work, but does not care for such strenuous labor as the other activities offer. The dancing class offers a good time, grace of movement, and a knowledge of the European dances. For the girl that likes real work, Scotty and the swimming pool offer a diversion from studies. After a morning filled with tests, or even a morning with a program that requires a lot of thinking, what is better 'than a dip in the pool to brush the cobwebs from the brain? 01' if one is going to spend the summer at the lakes or beach, wouldntt one feel mortified to have to say to the other swimmers who are urging one to 'ttry itf' I do not swim T' Scotty would be glad to teach you, Pm sure. Something new this year is the Friday afternoon apparatus class, This class is open to any one, but it was formed particularly for those working for points. Another class which was started this year is the Friday afternoon swimming class. Those that can't have a regular swimming class with Mr. Russell during the week are taken in by Miss Curtis for a general splash and recreation hour. The life of the NGym girl isupleasant because in the Gym she develops a good character, finds many good friends, has a general happy time, and along with this all, she develops a good physique. 74 .i..1f.5PE-.-..:-:Q Tl1is year in tennis, we are going to have three tournaments, Senior, or ad- vanced, Junior A or intermediate, and Junior B or beginners. It might be well to mention that Dorothy Siedler's volley ball squad lost to the side under the leadership of Madeline Lunnon. The following girls have at last earned fifty poi11ts toward their monograms: Mildred' Field, Ruth Mellin, Dorothy Siedler, Mildred Parsons, Madeline Lunnon, Victorine Runner, Eva Jones, Helen Venn, Virginia Cocke, Madge Roberts, Evelyn Latta, Myrna Moon, Frances Goldenson, Louise McCaughan, Phyllis Miller, Naomi Skeeters, Edith Soppeland, Anna Ramsey. Now that we have a large enough group of girls, we intend to start our Girls' State Ath- letic League. Each girl who belongs to this league must have fifty points, up to this semester not enough girls have had their full quota of points. XVe intend to start our League this spring so that by next fall it can begin work in earnest. Miss Shoedler, who gave a talk to the girls of East High, said that she wanted us to know that we were not the only ones that were plugging away at the point system. OUR TRACK TEAM The girls are going to have a track meet this summer i11 which those wish- ing to take an active part in the school athletics may participate. Those work- ing for points may take part also. The different events are the high jump, broad jump, long distance basket ball throw, and fifty yard dash. Five points are given for coming out for each event, but each girl must take part in three, making a total of fifteen points. If a girl wins an event- then she gets ten points extra.-Rrfrn BTELLIN. - Zig THE GIRLS, LIFE SAVING CLASS Did you know there is a Girlsl Life Saving Class? Yvell, there is and it's a real one. too.

' WHAT ATHLETICS HAS DONE FOR ME There is a proverb, One gets out of a thing what he puts into it. I have put many happy hours into athletics. In return for my time and work I have had many sore arms, one black eye, and many bloody noses, while 011 the other hand my headaches have been healed. But- the best things I have gained are: good health, friends, and a better character. Is there any reason why I should not like athletics ?--IIELEN YENN. MISS CURTIS GOES AWAY On Thursday evening, April 24th, Miss Curtis went to Kansas City to attend a joint meeting of the Mid-XVest Association of Physical Education and National American Physical Education Association. There she met Miss Small of Colorado who said they were working on the same system as we are, Profes- sor Henry S. Curtis of Missouri who said they were also giving numerals con- sisting of a big M with a little bear on either side: and Miss Lydia B. Clark who founded the Girls' Athletic League of Illinois. YVhile there, Miss Curtis visited two high schools, New Central and Manual High School, which she said were very well equipped with teach- ers as well as gymnasium apparatus, because they have two men and two women, both in morning and afternoon. . ..l..A. .-aqpamanpv.-., -L...

YYill you ever forget the talk Dr. Barker gave us last year when he told us HuXley's definition: The chief purpose of an education is to train the mind and the will to do the work you have to do in this world, when it ought to be done, whether you want to do it or not JI Again we state that illC'lI1PlI1lJPl'S of the Quill stall' have unusual ability.

A very interesting letter was rereived from Clarence Fritz, a former student now living in Compton, California. He says California is line, hut Des Moines is better. lt was interesting to know that Des Moines people who had attended East High meet frequently for good times together. The staif appret-iated his com- plimentary reinarks about the last Quills. W'e all enjoyed the sight of 'tGreat Ca1sar's Ghost given us by the Latin Club. When it comes to May festivals the Senior Class elaims first honors. We all agree with the advice which the Student Council, in their noon pro- grain, gave the boys: Henieinhe:' this, and luunhly come to woo, for it's not whoni you would have, but who'd have you. How we all love The Girl on the Maga- zine Cover! Everyone will agree that Senior boys are more dignitied than Senior girls. XYe were greatly surpriseil when Claike Hariflou, I-Koh Young' and Willrefl Temliy appeared as ,iesters at the Senior May Day frolic. Freshmen, who thought the Quill editor was diguitied, had their opinions decidedly changed. TVhy not a New Year's resolution in June?

' 77 X 'E K P S' ttDAD ELLIOTT'S SPEECH The assembly room was thronged April 24th with a large number of students who enjoyed an unusually interesting program. The rendition of Sylvia, by Verne Thomas, accompanied by Mr. Gilbert, headed the program. Following tl1is M1'. Burton spoke to the assembled students on matters per- taining to the school and then introduced Dad Elliott, International Y. M. C. A Worker. 'tDad Elliott made one of the most interesting and stirring addresses ever heard by the assemblage. He stressed the fact that leadership in Democracy was gained only by di11t of hard work and paying the price. Out of East's 2,700 students he estimated that a scant four would rise to high places in their particular lines of endeavor. He cautioned the students, both boys and girls, that a laxness in their morals was all too evident, stating that 5 per cent were immoral in the fullest sense of the word. He spared the feelings of none of the moral transgressors and cited specific instances of their corruptness. Flappers and so-called cake-eaters wereiput on the griddle by ttDad'l and thoroughly roasted. He warned against submitting to temptations in matters in which young folks are particularly feeble. Common honesty also was spoken of by Dad Elliott. He cited an instance in a school he had occasion to visit where lockers had been plundered by dishonest students of which there are a few in all schools. School spirit so ostracized them that now 110 locks are ever used to insure the safety of students' belongings. Cigarette smoking was strongly condemned by the speaker and he sharply rapped those who indulged in smoking, including girls, as well as boys. False shame in saying prayers was soundly b6I'3,t6d by Dad Elliott, as he told how a boy in a summer camp was ridiculed by his companions for praying before he retired. The boys were brought to see the great mistake they were mak- ing and the incident made better men of them. In all it was a remarkable talk. The speaker had the floor for an hour, after wl1icl1 the students were excused and sent to their fourth period class, each re- solving to be one of the four. BOYS' DECLAMATORY CONTEST The boys' declamatory contest was held in our own auditorium, April 12, 1924. The four city high schools were each represented by two contestants and three judges. Clarke Baridon and Stanley VVilson spoke for East High. VVe were justly proud of our team for Stanley took first prize and won second place for East High. The declamations, well-given and interesting, and the keen competi- tion, made it a most interesting program. ASSEMBLY OF APRIL 11, 1924 Primarily, it was a music assembly. As we entered the auditorium, our pleas- ure and interest were at once aroused, for we saw our orchestra already seated upon the stage. Small printed programs were passed around with the musical numbers named on them. Wie then had several pleasing selections by the orchestra and, also, a number from Erminie, sung by Beulah Keeney and Cleotus Schlesselman. We appreciate the good work the music department has been doing under Mr. Gilbert's supervision. Secondly, this assembly brought the Clean-up Campaign to a successful close. Forceful and interesting speeches on Clean-up East High were given by Molly Lepter and Sherman Green. 78 A ,, ....., . XX , Sva- 'S . ,X SPRING OPERA Music lovers in East Higl1 had a rare treat in the production of the light opera, Erminie. Our school shows its versatility in giving both a spring opera and dramatic production with such a short period between them. The plot had all of the thrills of the modern drama, the stern parent, the distressed lovers, the villain, and the fool, are some of the characters. One can appreciate Erminie, betrothed to Ernest de Brissac, whom she has never seen. She loved Eugene Marcel, her father's secretary, who was a real man, though he was a commoner. The way in which she proceeded to outwit Hthe powers that there are did justice to a modern co-ed. Erminie's father, Marquis de Pomvert, really wished his daughter to he happy, but decided against her happiness rather than to break a betrothal. The younger de Brissac, came o11 a sad errand and was the victim of much inclignity through a meeting with the villains, Ravennes and Cadeaux. After many difficulties he delivered the news of his brother's death. We failed to be properly grieved over this, since it ended the unhappy betrothal of the heroine. Through many interesting situations the story unfolds in song to the happy ever after ending. ' This opera was given May 15th and 16th. The occasion set a new record of achievement for East High. The following characters were well portrayed: Cadeaux ....................................... John iVoodmansee Ravennes ........................... ......

Pauline Kerr Girls, soldiers, peasants, lords, ladies, and acrobats SENIOR MIXER The Senior mixer was held March 26th on the third floor corridor. The spee cific aim of this social function was to get every Senior acquainted with every one of his classmates. In order to accomplish this aim the following routine of events was followed. As the Seniors entered, they introduced themselves as they passed down the receiving line, consisting of the Senior Board and Advisers. The next thing on the program was a trombone solo by Robert W'ood which had as its sequel a presentation of a one-act comedy, The Mouse Trap. The feminine parts were taken by boys and this proved very interesting and comical. Those who are experienced tell us that if, when you are a Senior, you are acquainted with your fellow classmates, you have a much better time. lVith this idea in mind a series of stunts was given. Several groups of Seniors were intro- duced and each group gave an assigned stunt. The Pillow and Pillow-casel' one seemed to be the most exciting. Refreshments having been served, the remainder of the evening was spent in dancing and playing Rook. This party was enjoyed by all who attended and each Senior went home feeling that, besides gaining more friends, he would have a much better time at the social functions that were to follow.

Or, perchance, you were classed in the happy medium. The Senior Costume Party was held in the gXIl1l13Sllllll, Friday, May 23. So variously colored were the costumes that the room looked like a moving rainbow. Prizes were given for the best costumes. Dancing and rook were the entertaining features of the evening. PAULINE PARK. CLASS DAY From time immemorial it has been the custom for the Senior Class to enter- tain their parents and friends with a Class Day prog'ram. On this evening the Seniors themselves take the opportunity of expressing their deep gratitude to East High for her many benefits during their school life, and of sincerely wishing the remaining students bon voyage. This year the graduating class O11 June 2 initi- ated a custom which they hope will become a famous tradition in East High-the Mantle Ceremony. The evening's program consisted of musical selections, the Class Play, Class Prophecy, and the President's Speech. ' MAnJoinn SWANSON. SENIOR PICNIC . On Friday afternoon, May lst, the Seniors went to Four Mile Creek, near Douglas Avenue, for their class picnic. And there was fun enough for everyone. Much of the afternoon was spent in playing baseball, bean bag, and sand bag. Dinner was served cafeteria style, and was enjoyed as only a picnic dinner can be enjoyed. But the most fun came when the Seniors gathered around a huge bon- fire to listen to an impromptu program. A quartette, composed of Jenny Kerble, Henry Adrian, Louis Lacy and Esther Brunk, was called upon to sing and re- sponded with Iowa Kathleen Shreves and Allister McKowen presented some delightful lessons in aesthetic dancing. Ray Arenberg, Letha Hunter, Ethel Lucas, Tom Jones and Joseph Kruger presented a dramatization of that famous story, Jack and the Bean Stalk. Mr. Prichard and Miss Pritchard each gave a two- minute impromptu speech. Then the vital question, Resolved, That a sheik haircut is more profitable for a llapper than a swagger-stick, provided the cake-eater she goes with wears a winged collar, was conclusively settled. After much fiery elo- quence on both sides, the negative, upheld by Ruth Thomas and Guy Starkweather, was awarded an unanimous decision. The affirmative team was composed of Molly Lepter and Chester Holdefer. All the Seniors took part in the community singing, lead by Beulah Keeney and Roxie MciNay. lN'hen the bonfire had finally lnirned low and the Seniors were ready to go home, they voted unanimously that- ' There are many kinds of parties, There are many kinds of fun, But, say, in the Spring A picnizfs the thing, Where there's fun for everyone. .

S1 Tse PARENT-FACULTY PARTY On Friday night, May 9th, a large number of the Seniors brought their parents to the parent-faculty party. Most of the members of the faculty were there. Just inside the main entrance there was a receiving line, composed of a number of the faculty and the Senior officers. Each Senior took his parents around and introduced them to the faculty. Of course we couldn't say they introduced them to all of the faculty but at least to the ones whose classes they were not in. At the end of the receiving line there were two members of our student council who directed everyone to the office to get program cards for that day's work. The bell for the first period rang at 8:30. There was a great surprise in store for the teachers and students also. The tables were turned. There were three classes: Gym, Art, and Music. Each class was conducted by a student. In one of the art classes we found Eva Mintzer teaching. One of the students in this class was Miss Cummings, and the pranks she pulled made one think that it wasn't so long ago that she was a student herself. One of our Gym teachers was Ray Arenberg. He was just a little too tough for a Gym teacher. He should have taught Commercial Law. NVe had a balloon blowing contest in here. Kathleen Shreves may be a queen, but she and her mother can surely blow balloons. In music, the third period, we found Jolm WVoodmansee teaching. This class was very orderly. The only thing out of the way was that Margaret Fuller nearly made Mr. Vtloodmansee lose his job. Once the principal, Halvor Jensen, came in and threatened to fire Mr. Woodmaiisee. It was too bad everyone could not attend all the classes for there were many humorous happenings in each. Principal Jensen also disciplined little A. J. Burton in a very effective manner. At the end of the third period there was an assembly. The first number on the program was a few speeches by Gilbert Rogers, Dorothy Steady and Mr. Van Liew. The principal, Mr. Jensen, introduced the speakers. A bashful stu- dent, Mr. Burton, also spoke. Next was a one-act play, f'The Burglar, given by the girls, Dramatic Club. You can talk about girls screaming when they see a mouse, but you ought to hear them scream when they hear a pup. At the end of this play Mr. Jensen announced that the main attraction would be found downstairs in the cafeteria. This is the first time we ever passed the cash register without hearing it play a tune. After the Seniors served their guests the party broke up. Those who had attended many parent-faculty parties were enthusiastic about this one given by the Class of '24, T DEDICATION ASSEMBLY The twelfth anniversary of the occupation of the new East High was cele- brated at noon, May 16th, by an outdoor assembly on the front portico. The ex- ercises were in charge of the Senior Class. The East High band started the pro- gram followed by an introductory speech by Cleotus Schlesselman, President of the Senior Class. Clarke Baridon, also of the Class of '24, spoke o11 f'Our Heritage. l The boys' quartette sang, after which Neil Garrett, of the class of 1912, gave an interesting address on School Spirit That Counts. Then we all repeated with Mr. Burton our pledge, adopted from the dedicatory pledge: f'At the threshold of this door of new and wider experience let us pledge the future to a democracy of equal opportunity and ci democracy of culture that fits for higher thinking and nobler living. In this spirit, ure, the students of East High, mindful of our heritage and realizing our opportunities, dedicate the efforts of our lives 'For the Service of Humanitgf The program closed with everybody singing the school song, Dear East Highf H 7 S2 2 tgps I THE FRESHMAN-SENIOR PARTY The Seniors began a most successful season with the party at which they en- tertained the Freshmen. Instead of having games in the gym as other classes have done, the group met in the assembly room and enjoyed an unusual program. Cleotus Sehlessehnan gave the welconie to the l1Il4l0l'C'l2lSSII1l'Il and Robert Shaw represented the Freshmen in stating their appreciation of the Senior Class. Beulah Keeney gave a vocal solo, Irenm- Densnxore rearl, and the program closed with one of 'tOur Gang films. After the good laugh furnished by the movie everyone passed out, receiving a candy bar and balloon at the door. IREM-1 Di-msmioieis.

THE VICTORY The nerve that never relaxes, the eye that never blanches, the thought that never W2lllfll3l'S,!tll9S6 are the masters of vic- tory. -Burlfe. Book-learning is not everything. This seems a queer thing to say to a. student, but is it not true? A student who gets a passing mark in school and finally graduates-a surprise to all who know him-but does not learn in the four or tive years he is in high school a few things that a trackman learns and practices in one season, has wasted his high school days. This student has merely blutfed and sputtered and rambled along-things which do not aid, but on the other hand, hinder greatly in the business realm. A trackman is required to pass his studies, but that is not all. He trains day in and day out, thus developing a persistence that once acquired is quite lasting. He is accurate and must follow directions without alterations. His habits must be clean and regular. Then after he has trained and is to run in the final race to win honors for his school, he must be at his post promptly and must have confidence in himself. He must get his position at the line as he has been instructed and trained to do, then he must concentrate and command every nerve in his body, and at the tiring of the gun, he must leap from the line and head for the goal, forgetting all things but to win that mark. He is a victor! NOCTURNE IN A MINOR KEY Last night a star fell down- Leaving a trail of star-dust behind it Like an arrow that sings through the air. I watched it sink beyond the hill.

XVood, vice president: Fannie Gray, secretary-treasurer. Besides the standing committees already in existence, the Council this semester formed a new one called 'tllanners and t'omluct. Their first consideration was the conduct of the student body during' the lunch hour I'J1'OQ,'l'll!IlS. These were a new plan ol' entertainment under the direction ot the Public l'lntertainment Com- mittee. The committee also took deep interest in cafeteria, home, and class-room manners. Another successful undertaking was that of a clean-up campaign. Interest for this was secured through three-minute speeches on Mclean-up. These were given by one or more members of each home room in his home room on April 14. On the following' morning these speakers delivered their talks in other home rooms. A special committee was appointed within the Council and arranged for speakers to appear at various club meetings and at assemblies during' the two weeks' campaign. These are only a few of the important accomplishments of the Student Council for this semester.

This is a question we must ask ourselves in orfler to answer it. With a motto, Each year we will get better anal better, the answer should be i11 the affirmative. If the orchestra shoulcl fail to play a selection in the proper manner it is, per- haps, not so much the fault ot' the members as it is the lack of proper instruments. Many times, because of absence of the oboe, bassoon, and 'cello, the parts must be played by the violin, eornet, and clarinet. YVe cannot imagine a football player playing two positions: yet this is what many of tl1e members of our band and or- chestra must do in orrler to appear before the public. Thus it is not always as easy as one would imagine to obtain a perfectly balanced orchestra and band. Although East High needs more musicians in these organizations, splenflirl work has been done all year. The school has enjoyed the boys' quartette which has appeared on various occasions. lVe have some soloists of whom we ought to be very prourl. Vile have not only vocal but instrumental soloists who have presented many gratifying selec- tions. Beeause of the time spent for us and their willingness to perform for us East High should be very appreciative of her talented music students. lvith the cooperation of the art, rlralnatic, an4l music rlepartments, hE1'I11lIllC,7, our spring opera went over big East High enjoys and appreciates her music department as much as any other in the school an-fl believes that the future may bring even greater attainments. 90 THE ORCHESTRA lj.L CA ST OF ERMINIE H1 MALE QUARTETTE AND ADVISER 1121111 Semr, f'll'Ufl1S SUIIIQSSQIIIIIIII, Mr. Gillu-rt. .lm-d Hollis, Dean Lig'l1if4 CAST UI PEG 0, MY HEART 92 THE BOYS' HI-Y 1 1'l'I1P11S113: To ,11'fII'I'lll' IIII 111'g11111:111i1111 zrlliwlz fx u fri1'111l fo all llfP4lfS 111111 111 11111116 ll high .v1a111lr11'1l of 1'l11'1'1111j11 in 1111.111 111111 v11111111y 1111f11. 311111112 U11-1111 hzlhils, s 1111'1s, s 11-111111 111111 s1'11111111's111 1. 1 1 0111111115: 1'1'esi11Q111. 1111111111 Y111111g'3 V11-11 111'es111Q111, .1111111 NY1111111111111f11e1 s01'1'1-- 1z11'v, i'1e11111s S1-1111-ss111111z111: 11'e21s111'1-1', 112lYIIl1JIl11 ,X1'1-11111-1'-1: . .

Dil Q PARENT-TEACHERS' ASSOCIATION Maieh 13-Dignitied Senior Daughter arrives at home at the end of the eighth period, a time which is considered very early for her. O, mother! You must go to the exhibit at school tomorrow night. Here is a ticket. The home room having the most tickets turned in gets ice cream and cake. Ours must get the most because our home room teacher said that he has been so used to eating cake and ice cream that he just czmldrft be disappointed this time. Mother tries to make up excuses, but thinking that she might enjoy this exhibit, she finally consents to accept the ticket. Senior Daughter is satisfied. But some- thing is always upsetting her plans. Freshman Son comes bounding in. t'Mother! Won't you go to this exhibit? Our home room-. Senior Daughter calmly in- forms him that mother has already promised her. Mother, as usual, forms a com- promise. She suggested that he ask his Aunt. He did and she accepted. Next evening at 7:30 Mother and Aunt go to East High. The following day mother tells of her enjoyment of the visit. Really, there was an unusual crowd in the assembly room. There must have been about 1500 parents, friends, and teachers. First of all, we listened to a program in the auditorium. The orchestra played very fine. Dean C. E. Germane from Des Moines University gave a splendid talk. At the close of this program we visited the labora- tories and shops. The students guided us to the places visitedg the teachers in their rooms were at home to the parents. The main features were displays from the home economics, home nursing, industrial and art departments. It was the first time I became really acquainted with East High. This m0ther's experience was duplicated many times, so, you see, our parents enjoyed this special get acquainted program. Earlier in the year our Parent-Teachers' Association held a Founder's Day Program. A playlet and other features were followed by a reception given in the Music Room. Our parents and friends are interested in East High. The large number who attended the exhibit proves that they want to Know Our School. The member- ship of the association has reached over a thousand, but because of our effort to have the largest organization in the world, other schools have tried and succeeded in putting us out of first place. The association has been very successful under the efficient leadership of Mrs. J. O. VVoodmansee, president, Mrs. Howard Jones, vice president, Mrs. A. N. Coy, recording seeretaryg Mrs. George Garton, corresponding secretaryg Mrs. A. O. Hauge, treasurer. Tuesday, April first, new officers were e'ected. They are: Mrs. Howard Jones presidentg Mrs. C. E.

Ruth Zlllllllfili 101 HELP YOURSELF The school paper may be likened to a human body. Figure out the parts for yourself. As the human body is dependent upon food, so is the school paper de- pendent upon money for its existence. Now, this money does not drop out of the skies, nor is it found buried in the ground. But the money is buried i11 the pockets of the business men who advertise, and it is up to our advertising staff to promise the merchant advertising with the assurance that it will bring results in order to get this money. The boys can promise the advertising, but they cannot promise that the advertising will pay. One man struck the keynote when he said, When I get ready to put billboards on Mount Everest, I will call you, young man, for then you might make me believe that it would really pay. Without the advertising there would be no money, and no money, no paperfl Now, why is it necessary for our boys to talk their heads off, in order to sell ad- vertising? No student realizes the difficulties of securing advertising. One boy sums it up in the words, We have first to talk to keep from being thrown out of the place, then we have to sell them the advertising. Viihen our boys go into a place of business, they are not begging for money, if they were, we would accept the offer of the man who said he would give the school a cheek for ten dollars, but would not buy any advertising. Or we would agree with the man who said, I will give you something for charity, but if it's business, I consider yours a poor proposition. ' The cause of this lack of patronage of the advertisers i11 the school paper is very simple. The student is so engrossed in reading the other parts of the paper that he forgets the Mads. Take a little time and read the advertisements in your paper. ' You will find there the names of some of the biggest iirms in Des Moines, firms who will be better able to serve you than you imagine. And by rea.ding the advertisements and patronizing the merchants, you will make advertising in the school paper a profitable and desirable thing, and not a billboard on Mount Everest. 102 Effie i q 'ff if f FII Ill ni ALUMNI And so it happened that as the task of supplying the student body with a commencement number stared thc Quill Staff in the face, the editors of the Alumni department grew sorely perplexed, for their material was greatly inadequate to till their needs, alumni seemed to have disappeared from the earth leaving not a trace behind. At last, goaded on by desperation we undertook a long and dangerous journey to the habitation of our sole remaining hope, for aid. So it came about that one day wc entered twith no little amount of appre- hensionj into the cave where dwelt Sibyl, of great fame among the intellectuals for her willingness to help them in theiripursuit of knowledge, and of equal renown among all modern-day seekers for the truth. As we entered we could hardly see, so dark was it, and so feeble the light shed by our candle. In the center of a large space at the cave's end sat Sibyl at her rustic table of boughs and limbs while behind her reared large bookcases, filled to their full capacity with her collected knowledge. She greeted us kindly, though shortly, and after we had stated our business, nodded with a seeming confidence in her ability to supply our wants. She arose, her spare, ragged form weird in the flickering candlelight and shuffled to the nearest shelf of books. Selecting one of these without any outward signs of hesita- tion, she returned to where we sat, and opening that musty volume began to read: DRAMATICS HERE AND THERE The fame and success of plays presented by the East High Dramatic depart- ment are common knowledge and the ability of its director, Mrs. Miller, is unques- tioned and applauded, but we sometimes lose track of the players who contribute to our enjoyment. The students who take part in East High dramatics are much sought after later when they go to colleges or universities for it is known that these persons have talent and the advantage of excellent instruction and training. Among those who have taken part in college presentations are Don Dailey and Letha Hostetter whose little playlet won them admission to the dramatic club at Des Moines University in a contest held for the purpose of selecting new members. This same university had the services of two other East High Alumni in another of its plays. Amy Scott and Kenneth Gibson took prominent parts in the play 'Mrs. Bumpstead Leigh given at the school last year. Of course, Simpson could not allow Des Moines University to gain a monopoly of the talent, so we find Malcolm Love taking leads in two Shakespearean plays. Ile took the part of Shylock in tThe Merchant of Venice', presented last Christmas and will play the title role in tHamlet' soon to be given. When the teachers in the public schools assisted by a group of students from Drake University gave a musical comedy 'A Man in a Millionf the acting of Charles Shane, Mabel Dahlstrom, Gladys Rudston and James Chastain appeared conspicuous throughout the presentation. A little later in King's X, the annual musical comedy at Drake University, we find Lucile and Francis McFee, Evelyn Carpenter and Maurine Bredimus par- 103 X i. ' I TS' ticipating with great success. Incidentally Lucile McKee served as the chai1'man of the executive committee. All this only serves to prove further the regard in which graduates of East High are held and to show a few of the many results of their initiative and ability. As she finished she glanced at us and, noting our pleased smiles and busy pencils, took it as a sign of our appreciation: then reaching to the shelf she drew down a large leather bound book and began to read again in her low pitched voice: MINDING THEIR BUSINESS Outside of the school life lies a great sphere called the business world. This is a life into which many of East High's graduates pass. Among the busy inhabitants of that universe we find Laurence Mason '23, who is working at the Hawkeye Tire Company, George Mason '24, who is working at a Des Moines garage, Claire Ibsen '24, the Quill's art editor last year, who is working at the Merit Bread Company before going to the state university in the fall, and John Handstrom, who has been ma-de Superintendent of the Des Moines Asphalt Company. A Alice Trout is assisting her father in his office. Mr. Trout is a local dentist. t'Elizaheth Young '22, has a position at Rollins Hosiery Mills. 'tMargerite Saunders '24, is a stenographer for the Standard Glass and Paint Company. Replacing the book Minding Their Business upon the shelf, she took another and read us a few extracts from a copy of 'fCupid's Tolls. VVe found from this book that only a few people having gone from our ranks as graduates have escaped being acutely wounded by the arrows of that mischievous little fellow, Dan Cupid, but in many cases the missiles have iiown so straight that not only the heart of one but of two persons was pierced simultaneously. Among the fortunate were: Mildred Harriet Schooler, who married Carl Dietrich, and Neal Holsaple and Helen Weissinger, who recently swore their prized independence away. Mamie Clark and Mark Robinson have just recently left for Topeka, Kansas, where they will live as Mr. and Mrs. Robinson. XVhen Miss Belle Scott was graduated from East High in 1918, she reached one point of importance in her life, but now that she has married Mr. Abram James she probably feels that she has passed one point of her life that is much more important. XVe found that Marie Savage of the class of 1921 and George Costello have taken an oath until death do us part. Jean F. Carroll, feeling the responsibility of a man, married Mellissa Steven- son, of Council Bluffs just this June. He and Mrs. Carroll met in the Iowa State College. Both of them were members of winning debating teams in that school. Helen Keogh and Sydney Shepard were married on May 12th. As Sibyl finished reading to us of the marriages of former East High students, there came a noise at the mouth of the cave, a whir of wings and then silence. VVe, the editors, sat very still for we were very nervous anyway in that large, dark cave. But at last the aged seer arose and paced past us toward the opening. She returned in a few moments smiling slightly and carrying a package in her hand. It was only the mail man, she said and with a deliberate slowness began unwrapping the parcel. Chl This concerns you, I believe, she exclaimed. I see these are notes from a reporter concerning the East High graduates that have gone on to colleges. She finished disclosing the contents of the package and picking up a few of the letters, sat back in her seat and began to read: Frank Anderson, Florence Hicks, George Libles and Ezra Ellis have all taken their places in Drake's classrooms and on its campus. 104 2 . ig s t'Homer Ehnquist, Golda' Crutcher '17, Joseph Comito, and Alfred Ginsberg are continuing to work hard at Des Moines University. Jennie Neighbour may be found at The Iowa Lutheran Training School for Nurses, and Raymond and Bernard Gift have gone to the land of sunshine where they are attending the University of Southern California. VVe suppose Margaret Gruener gets a big laugh out of being' the Joke editor at Des Moines University. She was associate editor of the Quill during her last year in East High. Charles Shane and Ralph Jester, prominent quackers at Drake, took parts in a play presented by the Drake Drama Shop, 'The Shepherd i11 the Distancef t'Fridolph Hanson is further distinguishing himself at Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois. There seems to be no end to thc honors heaped upon him. His latest achievement is his selection by the sophomores as business manager of the Roekity-I, the school book. Clifford Julstrom, who charmed his listeners at Class Day Exercises last Feb- ruary with his violin playing, has been taken as accompanist with the chorus from Augustana. Hen Lingenfelter of the Chi Delta fraternity of Drake was on the committee in charge of the Men's Panhellenic annual dancing party that was held this year at the Hotel Fort Des Moines. Charles Shane, who has acted in the capacity of circulation editor of the Delphic, Drakc's publication, has resigned to lake a position with the Slade Habcrdashery. Madeline Philleo is going to Drake and Archie Johnson is one of the new members of the squad that is out for spring grid practice at Grinnell. Archie Johnson is at Grinnell, you know. Yes, and the Scarlet and Black, Grinnell's paper, bears the information that he took second place in the pole vault at the home meet there in April. 'tYes, and a great l1o11or has come to Ruth Spry, late of East High, not to men- tion e pluribus unum to the extent of one hundred dollars. Ruth won first prize in a debate at Des Moines University. The prize is an annual one offered by Dr. Hanson of that institution and is open only to students who have participated in debates at the university. YVe are very proud of Ruth and hope for her con- tinued success., Claire Yohe and Robert Yohe are studying at Drake University and Claire is working after school at Harris-Emery's store. 'tJohn Van Liew, a graduate of East High and former athleticdirector at East, was here for the Drake Relays with his squad of track men from Knox College where he has charge of athletics. 'tHerbert Hauge, who is remembered for his versatility on various musical in- struments, is at St. Olaf,s. Laverne Greenlee, Herschel Lair and Robert Grund, who formerly added beauty to track and football suits at East, are going to Drake now. Jay Mitchell is also going there. After tiling the letters and reports she had received, the Sibyl turned to us and sighed. VVell, is the1'c anything else I can help you with lf? she said. W'e, the editors, pondered a moment and then- Oh, surely, tell us something about those pupils who have gone on and done something in music after leaving East High, we said. VVithout a word the Sibyl stepped to the shelf and removed from its dark recesses a small, insignificant looking volume. Opening it she began to read: . 105 Down at Iowa University next year there will be a new graduate instructor in violin. It has always been the custom to elect each year a member of the musical department who is an especially strong student. It happens this year that a graduate of East High has been elevated to this position, Eugene Burton. Suffice it to say we are very proud of Eugene and hope for his continued success. Clifford Bloom '14, who is now at Drake University, is a graduate of East High. He has been very successful in his work at the university and recently accepted a position with the San Carlos Opera Company. Clifford is a teacher in voice at Drake. Robert McGrew, we hear, is concert master at Simpson College. Remem- bering his playing at East we could not hope for less. Roy Dougan, who was our first music director at this school, we are glad to hear, is now assistant supervisor of music at Cleveland, Ohio. Adelaide Ewing is perhaps the best and most successful teacher of piano in East Des Moines. We are glad to hear of the success of Laurence Carter, who has been occupying the position of being one of Iowafs foremost composers of music for some time. While he is producing his compositions, he is attending Iowa University. MISCELLANEOUS Dorothy Stearns is going to a girls' school at Rockford, Illinois. Grace Eyerly is working at the city library. Helen Lightfoot and Betty Berner are working at the State Library anc Pauline Woodiiiaiisee has a position in the law library at the state house. Raymond Shaw is employed in the oliices of the Iowa Packing Company. Dorothy Cronland is employed with the Southern Surety Company of Des Moines. Clifford Gray of recent football history and fame has been working at Plumbsy jewelry store. Fridolph Hanson is a candidate for vice president of the Augustana Lyceum. Herbert Young, an East High graduate, is going to Drake, and Mildred Scott is employed at the telephone company. Bernice Hawkins, Carl Bogenrief, Marie McCarthy, Florence Moifet, and Homer Dresslein have been taking post-graduate courses here the past semester. Roy Tillotson, a former warrior for East on the gridiron, is working at the Ford Plant. Loyal Hibbs is employed at the State Capitol. Howard Parks is attending Grinnell. V VVhen YVilma Hutton left East High, she entered into the business world as a stenographer for the Playground Commission, and she works in the City Hall. Frank Anderson is attending Drake. Alixe Park is at the present time working in the city for Mrs. A. H. Hoffman. Harold VVelch has a position at the Southern Surety Company. Dorothy Mizener, who was graduated from East High, has signed a contract with Joseph Howard and will appear with him in an act on the Orpheum Circuit. Dorothy is a pupil of Rhena Rodgers Hayward and has been a member of The Larksf, a local musical organization, for two years. A New York architect has invented an automatic apparatus which switches on an electric light, sounds an alarm, and turns on oxygen for a person accidentally locked in a bank vault. 106 Excbamge I T HOME Homef the port for iroiuzded hearts.

HONOR SYSTEM AT AMES Through the united efforts of the Girl Reserves and Hi-Y organizations the Ames High School has been put under the student government or honor system. After much study the system was put before the student body to be voted upon. The result was that 380 voted for it and only I4 against it. AVOID HURRYING 4'Haste makes waste, is a proverb often quoted and one that is worth tl1ink- ing zihout. A sense of hurry always 11ll1fldl6S the brain. Yvhen 0116 works too rapidly, he or she cannot have vomplete self-possession, and then his work heconies slip-shoddy. To do things well, one must often resist hurrying, keep self-possession, and drive onels Work, instead of being' driven hy it. IVhen o11e knows that he or she has il fault and sets his heart on eorrevtirig' that fztult, he will without question ueeomplisli what he sets out to do. If you know that you hurry and muddle everything up, try to take your time and do things right. Anything worth doing is worth doing' right. So please take your time! No need to hurry.

F. A school teacher called upon a bright youngster the other day to recite the fable of the fox and the grapes. The lad made a bold start and told how a rather athletic fox came upon an arbor laden with grapes, but the nearest hunch was well up in the air. 'fThe fox jumped and jest missed 'em, said the boy, 'tand he jumped again and jest missed 'em-and he jumped, and he jumped, and he jumped-- Yes, and then what TV, prompted the teacher. He sat down and said, 'Aw, heck, I'll eat a bananaf FREMONT HIGH SCHOOL WINS FIVE PLACES IN CONTEST The District Commercial Contest which took place Saturday, March 29th, at Columbus, Fremont High School of Fremont, Nebraska, entered nine contestants and won live places.

COMPENSATION The law of nature is, Do the thing yourself a11d you shall have the power, but they who do not the thing, have not the power. -Emerson. I wonder how many of us ever tur11 our thoughts toward that of compensa- tion. For every accomplishment we have attained, we have paid the price in full. lVe can all listen for hours to a great artist, but I wonder if we think of the years of study he has undergone before the thing is i11 its perfect form. But it is such as this that makes life. 0116 thing seems to balance with another. The student who plots ahead, in the end is the valedictorian of his class. He thinks not of the compensation he paid, but of the honors he has received during his last days in school. The worthwhile things in life are what we should pursue. VVith such a thought in view, I feel that the price of compensation would not be too great for service rendered. Sometimes our misfortunes are really blessings in disguise. VVhen we fail in one thing we make sure 'we will not fail in the same place again. Life is really a school of experience, and when we receive our Crown of Life, we may feel that we are eligible to graduate.-From The Buckshot, Blaclmrell, Okla- homa fBIIll'h'Il'6ll Highj. 108 I b O N IHED 1 Q BROADCASTING Are we to understand that Miss Bon- iield really n1ea11t to send one of the Philo girls to the office without a slip? O, it was merely a misunderstanding? 1 see. Miss Bonlield thought the girl said something else? VVell, we are glad that no East High teacher assured a student that a slip wasnlt at all neces- sary. Not long ago, Mr. Hostetter and his golf students, who were out on the links, waved when Miss Snook came by. Miss Sl100li did not recognize him, evidently, because she turned to her companion and asked, t'Who is that impertinent man with all those good-looking girls ? During an active season for debaters Mr. Francis and Chester Holdefer were walking down the hall together while Mr. Francis explained some point to Chester. Because of his enthusiasm, the instructor become quite emphatic in his explanations and was severely spoken to by an efficient hall monitor. When his wo1'ds were disregarded, the monitor sent for Mr. Prichard to quell the talkative person. Needless to say, Mr. Prichard was surprised to be called upon to chas- tise one of his faculty and the dutiful boy was rather humiliated. Vile have heard that Miss Pritchard not only allows joyriding, but sometimes accompanies the party. VVe might cor- rect any false impressions by saying that she has often been a welcome com- panion and chaperon on necessary auto trips among various school teams. Wie are so glad to take this oppor- tunity to announce the great love of na- tureis beauties that some of our school possess. VVhi1e the editorial staff of the Quill were awaiting the arrival of the photographer one delightful spring morning, Gene Gray and Harry Hart- wick satisfled, in part, their deep appre- ciation of the artistic by plucking dan- delions on the school lawn. lVe are quite at a loss to k11ow whether one of the' seniors is still in his first childhood or his second. Re- gardless of senior dignity, home training and other influential associations, John VVoodmansee indulged in a non-com- petitive game of marbles, mainly for his own amusement, and laid the scene of his activity in the front hall. YVe have almost decided to investigate Florence Maffet since we overheard a chance remark of hers that she could not decide what to call all her men. We are wondering if she names her friends or just exactly what the case is. We always try to find out all factors in the case so we will make no false reports. YVe think at this age of Volstead acts and sundry raids that it is entirely fit- ting and proper to let you know that Virgil Morton carries a bottle in his vest pocket.

You know, l have just heard some news. l've always thought that o11e could tind a little scandal everywhere and now I know it. East High claimed that they had no secret misdemeanors, which they kept locked in the hidden chambers of their hearts. But I must tell you! I have found some of the most interesting things for weeks about a few your chair up a little closer and prepare IYay back in the seventh grade at Brooks School, some of our well-known girls received severe chastisement which also furnished some enjoyment. Arlene Sanford, Marjorie Amsden, Bernice Deeds, Nadine Smith, Lorraine Strick- land, and a few others indulged in a vigorous snowball combat, which re- sulted in their suspension for a few days. VVe are sure they appreciated the vacation during such pleasant weather. Now for a bit of ancient history. In 1907 there was a cute little fellow with bee-a-u-tiful long golden curls and the loveliest complexion. IVhen his nurse wanted to scare him she would tiourish a pair of scissors. Now in 1924 he is graduating from East High as Allister McKowen. Elizabeth Saunders, when in seventh grade was, in the eye of the school pub- lic, quite a society belle. Carol Hersh- man, the sheik of Twelfth Street, evi- dently thought so, too, because one day he and Elizabeth failed to answer roll call and an investigation found them quietly consuming ice cream at the cor- ner drug store. The track team of 1923 was faster on of East High's prominent people. Draw to hear some good news! the track than most of illillll. Last year at Iowa City, some of the fellows got homesick while waiting for the train a11d started home on hand cars. After they had sped the usual 440 yards, they re- covered from their illness and came back to accompany their friends on the train. Now who would believe that Clarke Baridon had ever been anything but the most dignified of people, as he goes about on his Quill and public speaking duties? 1Ve a1'e sure you will be de- lighted to know that he was put out of the Junior Chamber of Commerce four short years ago, because he quite mis- ehievously threw paper wads. How many of you remember IVilma Helstrom as a Freshman? Just let us recall to your minds the little girl in half hose, sandals, and a short dress who bashfully entered at the big' front entrance, gained courage after a few steps, then playfully ran clear to the third Hoor and slid down the banister. IVe were quite pleasantly surprised when we learned that the quiet fellow who debates and plays in the band was at one time reduced to the awkward position of having fallen in the lake. 111 o Better Way to Wash Curtains We measure your window curtains, gently wash them in nets, dry them to the exact size without using pins or hooks, return them with square corners-they hang straight.

Several years ago Hay S., the lusty young hunter, exercised his art in merci- lessly slaying a little black kitty which had white stripes on its back. The next morning Ray was acutely reminded of a little problem he must solve before he went, to school. VVith confidence and i11- nocent intent he did away with a whole bottle of his sister's perfume. We can conclude as to its effectiveness when we learn that he was sent home from school. The present business manager of the Quill has, at times past, enjoyed himself in much milder pastimes. About 1917 his favorite was knitting, yards of which streamed from his flying' needles. The tragedy was that no soldier was ever given the honor of wearing' Craig s cre- ations.

WHY TEACHERS GO INSANE IVe have found upon investigation that a large per cent of the inmates of insane asylums and various private sani- tariums were former teachers. At a. par- ticular institution we heard a continuous monotone from a distant apartment. Our inquiries of the warden revealed the identity of the speaker as a teacher who repeated the following' almost with- out interruption: Shall we write on both sides of the paper? IYhat was the ?lSSIg'1lII16lIlfV?U I have the wrong book. 'tl didn't hear you say we were to write it. Did you say we were to have a se- mester theme in by Friday this Week?

He said he would carry my books if I let him walk home with me. I don't like Puds as well as I do Benny Potts and I only had one book and 'sides last time Puds carried my speler home he dropped it in the mud puddle'an'd I had to stay in the house all evening. But their Wasn't no mud puddles and when I remembered that at recess Puds told Leroy Shooster he had I cent I said yes. So we walked down the block kind of slow and when we got to Jonses corner Where a store is I stopped to look in the Window and said didnlt them ehoklit sol- diers look good and I supposed Puds liked soldiers being a boy. He looked to and said yes they did. And then I said if I had any money I'd by some and give him some and he said so would he. Then I got mad and I said why Puds Simpkins, you told Leroy Shooster you had 1 eent I heard you. I ain't got it now says Puds I give it to Benny Potts for his kite wich he only flew twieet- and ainlt got no holes in it only a little teeny-weeny one. YVell Puds Simpkins I said you can just go on home by yourself I ain,t walking no farther with you. So I ran across the street cause I saw Benny walking up the street by hisself and when I c-aught up with him he was eating something and he swallowed it quick like when he saw me but he knew I seen him so he said is that you Mary? And I didnlt pay no tenshun and just walked ou fast by myself. . That reminds me of a story, means, Keep quiet While I tell my joke.
