You would not have thought so, per- haps at first sight, for a prettier little cottage, nestling among sweet-briar and red roses, snowy White, with green doors and blinds, and sparkling little latice-windows, you could not wish to see. It stod within Squire Sil- van,s grounds and, of course, he was the owner. Yes, the cottage in Silvan Lane was haunt- ed. Several years ago, the squire's gardener, who lived there, had come home in the small hours in a terrible state of drink and had killed his wife. The next morning in impotent rage he cut his own throat. The tragic gardener and his wife were buried and the little eot- tage was Hto let. But untold gold could not have induced the people in the little town to live there. Squire Silvan stood at his study window frowning. ult's a hundred and fifty dollars a year clean out of my pocket, mused the squire, scowling at the haunted house. HSix years that cottage has been vacant, and six times one hundred and fifty is nine hundred dollars. Nine hun- dred dollars out of a man's pocket because a drunken brute comes home and kills his wife, and cuts his throat for his own amusement.u The Squire broke off with a very sour face, for Huttering in and out among the trees came a girlish figure, slender and graceful as be- came its ownefs eighteen years. iiAnd thereis another bother,n burst out the choleric squire, regarding angrily his only child. Hrve fed her and clothed her, and given her everything she could wish foreand what sort of return does she make me? Why, she goes and falls in love with a dandified, empty- headed, city counterjumper! And she wants me to let her marry him, and spend my money for me! No, Miss Eleanor Silvaan At this moment a servant came up and an- nounced: u A lady, sir, at the door, asking to see you, , sir. UA lady! Who is she? What does she want? HI don't know her, sir. It's about the cot- tage down the lane, I think. The squire opened his eyes. ant at last? uThe cottage, eh? Sameat once! Squire Silvan seated himself in his chair of authority, and the next moment Sam reap- peared, ushering in the lady, one tall and ma- jestic, who moved with slow, stately dignity. She was robed in the deepest mourning, a widow's cap encircling the pale, handsome face which gleamed behind a long crepe veil. uI heard, Mr. Silvan, the lady said, in a clear melodious tone, iithat you have a de- sirable cottage to rent. Now, I am in search of a small house; I am a widow, and live quite alone, and I have called to know your terms. uThe terms are nothing; the cottage is very cheap. Eight lovely little rooms, ma,am, and only one hundred and fifty dollars a year; beau- tiful surroundings as you may see, in the way of garden grounds; and water and gas on the premises. Its a dead bargain. The lady arose and surveyed the white cot- tage with a critical eye. Was it a ten- Show her in at once, uIt's a pretty place, she said, iia very pret- ty place, but it has its drawbacks, Squire Sil- van, turned to him with a charming smile. uI know all about the ghost! iiConfound the ghost! I beg your pardon, ma'am, but the people are such-well, fools! The only ghosts are the wind, and the rats, and the trees, and the moonlight, and their imaginations! You try the house, ma'am, and if the ghost bothers you, why, I'll ask no rent. There! I can't say fairer? No, it's a bargain, Mr. Silvan. 1,11 try it. My name is Mrs. Seaton and my husband has been dead seven years. So it came about that the Widow Seaton rented the haunted house and the following day the new tenant moved in. The squire be- came very much interested in the fascinating widow and made many visits to the little cot- 6 THE EASTERN tage. One clay when he called he found her in a corner of the parlor, with a wild and hor- rified face. uGo, go away,H she shriekecl, let me see you again.n The squire stood aghast. NThe ghost! The ghost! exclaimed the widow, frantically. uI saw. the ghost last night and it spoke to me. Oh, oh, oh! And what the deuce did it say? gasped the squire, in utter consternation. HIt spoke of you! Oh, Squire Silvan! It was awful! All in white, and its throat cut, and streaming blood. It said you were a cruel tyrant, that you were breaking the heart of your only child, that a man who would treat an only daughter in this way would treat a wife the same. Now it happened that on the preceding day the squire had asked the widow to marry him, so, on hearing these words, his heart was much troubled. ' uAncl you won't marry me, unlesseunless I let Eleanor marry the drygoods man? Exactly, Squire Silvan. HWell, then, I'd a good deal rather lose Eleanor than lose you, so I promise to let her marry the man of her choice, if only you'll stick to your promise and marry me. So the day was set for the wedding, but when the squire went down to the little cot- iiancl never ECHO tage to claim his bride-to-be, his happiness was changed to overwhelming surprise and bitter disappointment when the Widow Seaton spoke these words: Wait a minute, Squire Silvan! I have been playing a practical joke-a pardonable one, I hope, and all because I loved your daugh- ter. There is but brief time to explain, since I start with my bride in fifteen minutes. Behold! Good heavens! had the widow gone mad? She took off her bonnet and veil, unfastenecl her cloak and skirts, and stepped outewonder of wonders! The bridegroom, George Lyon, the girl's friend from the city! HIt was I all the time, said Mr. Lyon, strug- gling with a laugh. ill was the widOWeCeorge Seaton Lyon. I never saw a ghost, and I never Try to pardon me, Squire Silvan, expect to. All's fair in love and War, when I am gone. you know. So the daughter was married and for some time after the wedding the old father would not speak to either his daughter or to his new son-in-law, but he came around in the end and forgave them. As for the stately Widow Seaton, nothing has been seen of her since; and the popular be- lief in the little town is that the house is cer- tainly haunted, and the crafty, plotting Widow was scared away by the ghost of Silvan Lane. H G933? E19 THE GREEN AND GOLD In the ancient realms of Calvert 'Neath the fairest southern sky, Lassies gay with joyful voices Sing the praise of Eastern High. Blithe are they, and true and happy, And their standard Firm they hold; Proud are they to he defenders Of Old Eastern's Green and Gold. In the fore you'll always find them, In their studies or in play, Placing all their foes behind them, In their sports they gain the day. For with all true Eastern lassies In their hearts this thought they hold, Bring new laurels unto Eastern, Honor to the Green and Gold. In their deeds of high endeavor, In the smallest task they've tried, Eastern girls all strive together, Working gladly side by side; For above all other passions Closely in their hearts they hold Lasting love for dear old Eastern And her colors, Green and Cold. When these days have passed beyond us, And we leave dear Eastern High, As we think of Alma Mater, Cherished thoughts will clim the eye. Though apart we all may scatter, Deep within our hearts we'll hold Mem'ries clear of old companions, And of Eastern's Green and Gold. 19225 TRIP TO WASHINGTON AND MT. VERNON Irene Habnicht, '2 2. BRIGHT sunny morning! One hundred girls, happy and gay, were waiting with impatience for the train to start. Such was the spirit of the Class of l922 on the morning of Saturday, May the thirteenth. Finally, with a snort and a grunt, the train started, and wonder of wonders, every girl was on time, nobody was left! The time passed quickly among such a joyous group, and we soon reached the station in Washington. Coats, lunches, and kodaks were hastily grabbed, and we were off the train in a second. For those who had never been to Washing- ton it was a pleasing and delightful sensation when they caught their First glimpse of the city. People were hurrying along; automobiles clashed hither and thither, quite as regardless of life and limb, as in Baltimore. The scene was a very busy one, and it seemed to us as if we were in the very center of events. As our time was limited, we soon found our- selves seated in our very own special street cars riding to the wharf, where we were to board the boat that was to take us to Mt. Vernon. We settled down With sighs of satisfaction and contentment when we were on the boat. Joy! But wasn't it fine when the boat began to move slowly, and we were at last drifting down the Potomac! Songs and laughter came from the various groups on the deck. Some of the girls who are inclined to be shy in school cast off their shyness and entered whole-heart- edly into the fun. When the boat was nearing Mt. Vernon everybody ran to the rail to catch sight of the famous mansion. There it stood proudly on the green slope, its white columns gleaming from out the foliage of the trees. Soon we landed. It seemed as if there should have been smiling darkies working cheerily about the little landing, to the tune of their dear old Southern melodies; but then came the remembrance that those days had passed away. We climbed up the mossy stone steps, over- shadowed by trees and hedged in by climbing tendrils of sweet-smelling vines. It was heaven to those who delighted in the beauty of nature! After a short walk we came to the old tomb of George Washington. An iron rail enclosed it, within which was the ivy-coverecl mound. We lingered here in respectful silence for a few moments and then moved on to the new tomb. An old colored man jealously guarded the way, and made us step lively. Nevertheless, many girls held back to gaze within its dark recesses, where lay the remains of the beloved man who was uFirst in peace, flrst in war, and first in the hearts of his countrymen. Five minutes of walking brought us to the mansion. We went through the front entrance, and in single file mounted the steps which George Washington himself had trod many times. We looked into rooms that had been honored by worthy men and women, and into the very room where the Father of Our Country breathed his last. Descending the stairs, we saw the dining- room, the music-room, and many other rooms, all of which contained sacred treasures. Finale 1y, into Martha Washington's cozy kitchen we walked, whereupon many of the girls who oc- casionally did a little work at home were glad they lived in the twentieth century! When we were once more out in the bright sunlight, we directed our steps toward the gar- den. Words cannot describe the beauty and loveliness of that wonderful garden. The per- fect way in which it had been laid out, and the exquisite colors of the fragrant flowers were delightful. We then visited the numerous ouithouses of the mansion and strolled over the well-kept lawns. During all this time cameras had played an important part. Exclamations of liOh, I hope my pictures turn out well were heard on all sides. THE EASTERN Then came the departure. One last look at the Potomac from the hill, one last look at the old mansion, a buttercup, a piece of ivy to take home, and we went slowly clown t0 the boat. The return trip to Washington was very pleasant. Lunch boxes were opened, and all kinds of goodies appeared. We enjoyed our- selves t0 the highest degree. When we got off the boat, we found special cars again waiting for us. After a short ride and a long walk we reached our destination, the Zoological Gardens, but what was a little fa- tigue to a merry crowd of girls, accompanied by the best chaperons that ever lived? There were so many strange and unfamiliar things in the Zoological Gardens that we were obliged to keep our eyes open very wide, so as not to miss anything. The one animal which interested us most was a huge manlike chim- panzee, a probable ancestor. its peculiar antics, we went away less inclined than ever to believe in a certain theory! After Visiting the Zoological Gardens, we were taken in the Royal Blue Line buses through the principal streets of Washington. The homes of well-known people were point- ed out to us ,and many other places of interest, the trip ending at the Congressional Library. Before entering lVlr. Flowers told us to keep together so that we should not get lost. While we were in the library we realized fully the wisdom of this advice. The Library is gorgeous, but, like the dear old garden at Mt. Vernon, it is indescribable. It would take many weeks to become fully ac- quainted with the numerous rooms and their precious contents. The Mosaic of Minerva was especially impressive. After watching I ECHO We left the Library wishing we could stay very much longer. Nobody got lost, but we were obliged to go after a few girls who were loathe to leave. From the Library we were taken to the depot in the buses. We had some time to spare in the station, so we wandered around. Many girls visited the soda fountain, and the balloon man must have made a good deal of money. A surprise awaited us here. Lady Astor was about to board one of the trains and gra- ciously agreed to speak to us. She was very anxious to give us some good advice and did so. Now we have the privilege of saying that we have seen a real lord and lady! When the gates were thrown open, we ran for our train. Once on it, coats, boxes, cam- eras, and other articles were quickly deposited in some convenient place, and we settled down to enjoy our return trip. We had a splenclicl time coming home. Everyone was in a good humor and ready to partake in any merriment. There were songsp feasting and even a make-believe wedding, which ended with a solemn uAmen. As the train slowed down at Mt. Royal Sta- tion, such ejaculations as uVVherels my coat? , uMartha, have you my kodak? and even Home, sweet home! were heard. We were all tired but happy, and as good-nights were said, all agreed that they had had the most wonderful time ever. It will re- Even more last- l922 will never forget that trip. main in our memories forever. ing will be our remembrance of those who made that wonderful trip and glorious time possible for us. SUMMER MEMORIES Ada French, Do you mind the time we wandered here? ,Twas on a summer night; The nightingale sang from yonder tree, And the moon was still and white. A night moth Buttered to and fro, The crickets hummetl a song, The flowers boWecl to the sweet night wind That carried their fragrance along. 1923. But you could sing like any bird, Or dance the moth to shame; And the wind that went a-whispering by Made music of your name. And still your feet go dancing on, As you lift your bird voice high To challenge the trilling, unseen lark That's singing in the sky. BACKGROUN D AND FOREGROUN D Ruth Henss, '2 2. VERY picture must have a back- ground as well as a foreground. The background serves to bring out the objects in the foreground more prominently. Let us con- sider Milletis picture of the An- gelus. This painting represents a peasant scene, in which the peasants stop to pray at the sound of the bell. The bell in the background of the picture helps to bring out the reason for the toiIers in the foreground stopping their work and bending their heads in devotion. So every life also has a background and a foreground. Take as an illustration the life of Abraham Lincoln. When Abraham was a boy, he did not have the many advantages and priv- ileges which we have today. He had hardships and strenuous tasks, and was unable to attend school regularly or long. What IittIe educa- tion he received cost him tremendous effort and perseverance. In the evenings he would try to write with charcoal on the shovel, and it is said he would walk for miles in order to get a book to read from the nearest neighbor. But his love for reading and his desire to prepare for the future did not cause him to neglect the simple duties of each day. As he grew older he was a trustworthy and energetic young man, doing his best for his neighbors, his state, and his country. Through the love and prayers of his parents, his own willingness to work and his honesty and uprightness, he became a man of fame, a President of the United States, and one long to be remembered. The sacrifice made by his parents and himself helped to bring out into the foreground of our natural life his worth and his character. We, the students of today, are still in our early years, determining the thoughts and hab- its Which will be the background of our future life. Let us, too, put our shoulders to the wheel, and work to be more useful in our sphere, even though it be but a limited one. Let us strength- en our sense of duty and' our character and thus form a good background for our future 1ves. H GQSQDDE-m MT. VERNON Irene Habnicht, ,22. I O mansion on the fertile banks of the Potomac, You stand majEStic, calm, As in days that have long since passed. Now, as I traverse your shady walks, And smell the fragrance of your blooming Howers, And gaze on the thought-inspiring stream, A cloud passes over the sun's knowing face. I stand alone in your beautiful garden; I see still your columns gleaming white; I see still the river, reHecting, glowing; But standing in your stately doorways, Fair dames, courteous men of old, I see. Out on your lawns of shining green To me they come laughing and dancing. Bright fans are waving in measured time; Brown eyes, blue eyes, under sweet tresses, Roguishly gaze into manly faces. Night comes creeping over the earth; There,s a path of gold upon the waves; Indoors some dance the stately minuet; Into the garden two lovers steal. I see your windows sparkle with light; 11 I watch with eager eyes the fair sights. I see you in your old time glory; When, after darkness comes the dawn, Alone, I stand in your sweet bowers, The fairy vision has faded from me; I am in the light of my own bright day. Still you remain majestic and calm, O mansion, on the fertile banks Of the ever peaceful Potomac! But where are your friends of yesterday? These now have passed silently beyond. I tenderly tread on the ground they hallowed; I see the same sky they often beheld; Stiil Hows the same river, on and on. But 0! stately walls, come whisper to me! The romance which you saw, let me see! INTERNATIONAL PEACE HOW WE CAN PROMOTE IT Adele Ballman, ,22. tFirst Prizel MACINE yourself living in the I year 2022. The world is in- deed in an era of prosperity, unemployment is practically un- known, the cost of living is moderate and reasonable, mane ufacturers End an unlimited market for their goods, higher education is general, crime is very rare. The reason for all this? The na- tions have settled their disputes by arbitra- tion rather than arms. All this is the result of international peace. However, it is 1922. The world is just emerging from all the horror and bitterness of war. To it nothing could be more desirable than some practical suggestions, some definite plans for the prevention of future war, for the preservation of future peace. World peace must be a world movement backed by world sentiment. These conditions are nearer fulfillment now than at any other time in the world's history. The significance of this great popular participation of the people in the establishment of permanent peace can scarce be overestimated for it is nothing more or less than the beginning of a new and saner control of vital world relationships. The late Viscount Bryce expressed a great truth when he declared that' iithere arise certain broad and simple issues on which the judgment of the people is more likely to be right than that of the ministers who are conducting the negotia- tions.n Out of this great desire on the part of the people for lasting peace, three big ideas for the furthering of this great ideal have come. They have been proposed before but now they bear greater meaning, for the world's people are try- ing to see beyond their narrow national boun- daries and pave the way, by trust and confi4 dence in each other, to greater and more sub- stantial things. The first two of these sugges- tions can be accomplished by the governments of the various nations. The last must be done in the school, the church, and the home. In the first place, if there is to be interna- tional peace, the world must disarm. With the limitation of armaments comes limitation of the thoughts of war, limitation of greed and national hate. When a nation is armed to its limit, it is eager to try out its strength and ability. They reason thus: iiWe have put a great per cent. of our revenue into armaments. In a few years they will be useless, out of date, and new ones will have to be bought. The neighboring nation defeated us in a war some fifty years ago. We have the material now, both in men and munitions. Why not vindi- cate the victory of half a century ago. So the petty quarrel goes on. Other nations, afraid of being invaded as a result of the rage of the combatants, arm themselves for protection. Large standing armies are simply a threat against the peace and prosperity of the world. Nations that maintain them will be under sus- picion. Moreover, a standing army does great injustice to the people who live in the country which supports it. The money that the people pay out in taxes, instead of being spent for their own interests, such as more beautiful cities, better roads, improvement of the educa- tional system, and so on, is spent to rthe up- keep of a large army; for experimenting in the discovery of poison gas; for new types of guns; for battleships; and for salaries of countless workmen who are needed to carry on this cle- structive work of warfare. ' Going still further, nations often spend more on armaments than their revenue justifies. To make up the deficit, they unscrupulously issue inconvertible paper notes. It must be clearfly understood that the reduction of prices and the restoration of prosperity is dependent upon increase of production; and that continual ex- cess of governmental expenditnre over revenue is the most serious obstacle to such a produc- tion, as it must sooner or later involve further inflation of currency, further depreciation of the purchasing power of domestic currency, THE EASTERN and still greater instability of the foreign ex- change, and further rise in prices and the cost of living. it there is to be future peace, armies and navies must be reduced, as a continuance of the atmosphere of war and of preparations for war is fatal to the development of the mutual trust which is essential to international peace. The second step in the promotion of inter- national peace is the establishment of a world league. For this league to be a success all na- tions must be in it, for if some are left out, en- mity will naturally arise. The whole plan must be based on concession and sacrifice. Nations must give up some of their individual rights for the betterment of the worl clin general. There must be a judicial, a legislative and an executive department to this league, just as to any other governmental body. The Hague Court could be accepted as the judicial body and used as the basis of such a world organi- zation. This court should have great power and its interpretations of international law would have to be universally accepted, if the league would succeed. It would be the basis of all peace, as it would decide boundary dis- putes, settle arguments arising from overlap- ping trade interests, and so on, and thus by removing the causes of war, it could prevent war itself. This court would stand for justice and simplicity, and this is the foundation on which the future peace of the world alone can stand. The executive department should consist of a commission of three or four persons from the strongest nations whose duty would be to in- augurate and enforce the international policies agreed upon. The legislative department should be made up on representatives from the nations, based upon the strength of the nations. The election of these representatives would be a great re- sponsibility. They should be selected by the people. They should be men who want peace and are willing to give up old policies for a new and greater aim. The legislative depart- ment should have the power to make clear, in- ternational laws; to establish freedom of the seas; to compel nations having seaports to allow other nations not so fortunate the right to ship their goods through the neighboring ECHO I 1 country; to disregard the terms of secret trea- ties. There seems to be no reason why this plan should not succeed. At the end of the Ameri- can Revolution there were along the Atlantic Coast thirteen quarreling little states, each jealously guarding its own rights. They were given a central government, a common inter- est, something to guard and cherish, some- thing to look to for protection of their own rights. Thus these states were united to form the greatest nation of the world. If this is true on a smaller scale, why can it not be true on a larger scale? The third point in the promotion of inter- national peace is the one which can work the greatest good and is in the end the point upon which everything else is based. It is education against war. Race antagonisms, generally the result of bad education, can be overcome by good training. HOpe for peace and progress must rest largely upon the general cultivation of a spirit of tolerance and sympathy for groups other than our own. The future generations must be taught that all military triumphs are hollow. The famous lines of Dr. Johnson are now applicable enough to victors: HYet reason frowns on Waris unequal game, When wasted nations raise a single name, And mortgaged states their grandsires' wreaths regret From age to age in everlasting debt.n They must be taught that there is no glory in war any more and that previous war lords are only amateurs compared to the future ones and what they might accomplish in the way of de- struction. Furthermore, it is necessary to ac- cept the fact that Christianity and war cannot be reconciled. One ycannot profess to love his neighbor as himself and at the same time lay plans for his neighbor's destruction. People must also be made to realize the cost of war, they must be made to realize that no state can exits on issues of depreciating pa- per money. It must be clearly understood that only by a frank policy of mutual co-operation can nations hope to regain their old prosperity, and in order to secure that result the whole resources of a country must be devoted to strictly productive purposes. l 2 THE EASTERN Another way to educate people against war is to hold international conferences such as the one held last summer by the institute of Politics at Williamstown, Mass. Several of the leading statesmen of Europe were present at this gathering. They talked authoritatively on conditions in their respective countries. If similar gatherings were held in every country for public airing of international affairs by statesmen of note, the cause of world peace would be mightily strengthened. We must also explode the old fallacy that ECHO man was created a fighting creature, for .it is the fundamental instinct of men to live har- moniously together. In the United States peo- ple of the most distinct races have the same ideas and co-operate in mutual helpfulness to to realize those ideals. Progress is often slow, but the long View of social evolution justifies the hope that there will come a time when altruism Will be stronger than selfishness, democratic fraternity stronger than national and class hostility. a-H om'r-Av A GERM FAMILYaS ADVENTURES NCE, while an old Mister Germ was floating quietly around in the air, he felt Mr. Wind give him a great push and then carry him quickly through the air, and finally he was thrust down into y dark. When Mr. Germ opened his eyes Gor he had closed them when he bea came frightenedl he forgot to be sorry any more, for Mr. Wind had blown him straight into an open garbage can, and this was the best home that any germ could have. Now, lVlr. Germ settled down to spend a peaceful life, for he hacl plenty to eat and a most com- fortable home. He became big and fat, and as you would say, ngew and multiplied. Soon he was a grandfather and a very little while later a great-grandfather. Mr. Germ's grand- children and great-grandchildren were not just a few; they were hundreds and thousands. Now, like all children, when they grew big enough, the little Germs wanted to go out to see the world. 50 old Mr. Germ consented. The garbage can in which this Germ family lived was never covered, so that when a Hy came by it could pick up anything from the top of the can and carry it along. 50 these little Germs moved up to the top edge of the can and waited for Mr. Fly to pick them up and carry them all about the world. One little Germ was dropped by Mr. Fly on the top of something which he found to be a garbage can, but this one was tightly cov- ered so that he could not get in anywhere. When he found out this, little Germ sat down on the top of the can, and cried and cried until Mr. Sun burned him up. Another little Germ was carried in through a window, where there were no screens, and was dropped on the bed of a little girl. He moved up closer to the little girl and she breathed him in. Little Germ had a great time inside that little girl. But one day he heard somebody say that the little girl was dead, so he thought he would go out into the world again. He had no idea that he had killed the little girl. Other Germs had similar adventures. Some had the same fate as their great-granclfather and lived the same life. All of them, unknow- ingly, were doing some harm. pr, I wonder how many of us want to help their relations to lead the same kind of life? Why can we not take precautions to prevent this? . IGEND .

It is the story of the. life of Anna Howard Shaw--a story that at ' once fills you with wonder, cle- light, and self-reproach. When you are brought face to face with the true hardships of this pioneer woman, you are ashamed of what, in your opinion, have been hardships in your own life. Our tribulations dwindle into nothing be- fore the toils of this woman's girlhood and womanhood, and we cannot but rejoice when we read of the success that she finally acquired. Perhaps this biography is all the more in- teresting because it is written by Miss Shaw herself. She depicts to us her inmost thoughts, desires, and even her soul. We are taken with her to her childhood in the wild, uncultivated west, and We see the hard life of the pioneers of those days. Here she was a boy, doing all the rough, outdoor work and helping to make habitable the four walls which her thoughtless and shortsightecl father had erected as a clwell- ing place for the hardworking, helpless mother and the family of children. Here in the forests was born her desire to be a minister, and her thirst for knowledge. When at last, by sheer tenacity of will, she entered college, doing her beloved ministry work at night, she was confronted with new problems- hunger, poverty, prejudice against her for be- ing a woman. These she overcame as she con- quered all other obstacles-by her surprising persistence and hard work. It was at college that Miss Shaw realized that in the suffrage field she was to find her life work, and this work she did as she did all otherSewith her whole soul. She gave up the best years of her life to this cause, but her la- bors were not spent in vain. They bore fruit, and perhaps today we are enjoying this fruit. We cannot talk of Miss Shaw in connection with her suffrage work without mentioning Miss Susan B. Anthony, her dear friend and adviser. Aunt Susan,u as she was called, was the originator of the suffrage movement, and from this great woman Anna Shaw acquired inspiration, and undying confidence in womanis rights. This autobiography is very simply written and affords extremely pleasant reading. It is not a dry history of the events of a woman's life. It is a story, and a great story. Tillie Goldstein, , 2 2. H. QJWIH, ccTHE ADMIRABLE CRICHTON, Sir James Barrie NE. of the most interesting plays which Sir James Barrie has writ- ten is HThe Admirable Crich- ton. From many standpoints it should be ranked with the best -h productions of modern drama. The plot is unusual. Lord Loam and his three daughters, his nephew, the vicar, the kitchen maid, and the butler are shipwrecked on a desert island. At first, of course, they are help- less, as people accustomed to a retinue of servants and every luxury life affords would be; but Crichton takes command and brings order out of chaos; many unusual situations are the outcome; radical changes are brought about. The characters are different from the av- erage ones of fiction. Crichton, the perfect butler, who believes in absolute supremacy of master over servant; Lord Loam, with ideas exactly the opposite; Ernest, his nephew, who is continually making what he thinks are epi- grams, but is opposed to anything which might be Work, and the three daughters, bored with life, whose greatest exertion is to dress for dinnerpeall are vividly drawn in Barrie's in- imitable style. The play is well constructed. From the First scene to the end of the fourth act it moves swiftly; one's interest never lags. The strong contrast between the idle, pleasure-seeking, Continued on page 49 A DREAM COME TRUE Sylvia Fox, ,2 2. REAMS sometimes do come true. We rejoice that the dream of all the women in the world has come true. Slowly but steadily it has emerged from the land of doubt and gradually blossomed forth into a real, living fact, a fact that would have been scoffed at just a century ago. uWomen have come into their own. No longer must the woman look quietly on amid confusion and misunderstanding, while her very soul is crying to be free to help straighten out the affairs of man. No longer is she merely an onlooker. No! Now she is lithe factor in the world's machinery. Now she is the insti- gator of high and noble ideals. Now she is the promoter of honorable deeds only. Now she is the one to incite interest in worldly affairs. Now has woman invited delegates from neigh- boring countries to attend the Pan-American Conference being held in Baltimore. At this Conference there are delegates from the vari- ous South American republics, representatives from Central America, from Mexico, delegates from our own states, and lasteour own Lady Astor, come all the way from England. The purpose of this conference is to discuSS matters that are of interest to womene-to men, too, for that matter-such as social hygiene, education, politics, ancl various other important problems of today. HGQYQDH THE SPELLIN G BEE HE old-fashionecl Spelling Bee given on Monday, April tenth, was a great success. Notwith- standing the fact that prizes were offered, the girls entered from pure love of a contest. The preliminaries for the second and third years were held in the Music Room by Miss Joes- ting, while those for the first and fourth years were held in the Assembly Hall by Miss Trav- ers. In each case the upper class girls were taken first, and words were given them until there were only ten in each class. left. A great many girls from all the classes entered, but there was an overwhelming number of Fresh- men. They almost filled the stage and kept Miss Travers very busy plying them with words. They were not easily Hspelled down, either; each girl seemed to know the whole list. There was much consternation, however, when all the first year words had been used and the other lists were brought into service. They spelled bravely on, though, doing their best, and many The words were pronounced quite distinctly, so that there could be no possibility of mistaking them. Each brought credit upon themselves. girl was given a moment to think, but no sec- ond chances were given. Because the time was growing short, the of- hcials did not wait until there were only ten of the Freshmen and ten of the Sophomores left. At the suggestion of Miss Calder the au- dience was invited to sit on the stage while all the girls in the finals lined up, forming a hollow square in the Assembly Hall. As long as the words of the respective years were given, the contestants held out very well, but as soon as i'new words were given, they went clown one by one. Many went clown on the word iisac- rilegious, but they were given another chance Clare Councell, however, spelled them down on that catchy word, iifuchsia . All the contest- ants were Hgoocl sports and retired quietly, upon being vanquished, to listen to the others. Clare Councell won the championship prizea a two-dollar-and-a-half goldpieceain addition to one dollar for standing up longer than any other third year girl. Lillian McCready re- ceived the prize for the fourth year, Elsie Bei- ritz for the second, and Margaret Graf for the first year. It was a splendid match and showed what excellent spellers we have. E.

Our Own Dear Eastern High School: The time has come for us to say uGoocl- bye.n Our four years are over and we must go. How quickly time has flown, but, oh, how happily. We remember so well the first clay we en- tered your doors, dear Eastern! How eventful was that clay in September, l9l8, when about 300 girls, all timid, shy and friendless, became known as the I922 Class of the Eastern High School! How strange and unnatural the sched- ules seemed; how puzzling the many rooms, doors, and long, wide corridors; how exciting and interesting the hundreds of girls who all seemed to know so well one another, and the new life to which we had come! But soon the strangeness wore away, and we lost some of our ufreshness , and came to feel as if we, too, were a part of this busy, intricate, and in- teresting sehool-life. The good old days are over now, and as we look back, we cannot believe that four long years have passed, and that we must take our leave of you, clear Eastern H. S. We have grown so accustomed to you, and we love you so! It is so hard to realize the fact that no more shall we see and meet so intimately the dear girls with whom we lived these four years, and the kind, helpful, loving teachers who guided us so skilfully! We don't know how we are going to order our lives without you and your students and teachers, but we do know that because of you we are entering the world stronger and better equipped to live our lives and do our hit. We promise you that we are going to do our best to live up to the ideals you have instilled in us, and we hope to do our share and bring unew laurels unto East- ern, honor to the Green and Cold. Dear Alma Mater, l922 bids you farewell. We love you. Good-bye, good-bye! Ever your own, The Class of 1922. per Goldie Schimmel. LAST ASSEMBLY OF 1922 PROGRAM I.

YEATS HE Land of Heart's Desiren is an ap- pealing little fairy tale based on a su- r - perstition that on the May Eve, all the little field people walked abroad, some doing good, some evil; and if the Irish strew primroses about their threshold the little peo- ple might change them to gold or flames of evil. Maire, a fanciful little Irish girl, is a good child, even though she does not always do as others wish her to. She does not wish to grow up and become just like the rest of the world. She would rather be like the fairy folk and dance udeep in the shadow of a wood or where stars walk upon the mountain top. Those with whom Maire lives are plain, practical Irish people who cannot understand her dreams. Not even the good priest can un- derstand her. She innocently brings evil upon the house by her bold talk of the little people. On the May Eve a strange child comes to the house and frightens the family by speaking evil of the crucifix. She charms Maire, and Finally leads her off to the fairy folk, leaving only her dead body to Shawn, her lover. Margaret Lipscomb, '22. Ff . 9363' . SUMMiiRtS CHORUS Dorothy Schroeder, '23. The daisy has lifted her sweet, smiling face, The buttercups dance on the lea, The bluebirdys shrill note echoes; far and wide: uDull Mortal! Come out and see me!H The timid red rose lifts her soft, blushing cheek And smiles to the bright, buzzing bee, While yonder a thrush sings aloud his command: Dull Mortal! Come out and see me! The butterflies flit from bright garden to wood, And each little plant and tall tree Whispers a word from the midst of its leaves: Dull Mortal! Come out and see me! Oh! There're thousands of signs that summer has come Thousands of things one can see; But the whole outdoors joins the glad chorus and sings uDull Mortal! Come out and see me! For Summer is here in her gay, floral tints, Escorted by bird, bud, and bee, Who join in the chorus of cheer and advice: HDull Mortal! Come out and see me! THE FIR TREE AND THE BRAMBLE There grew in the forest a tall hr tree That towericl above the others; So proud was he of his dignity, He despised his smaller brothers. A bramble said to him one day, uNow, why are you so proud? Because, he answered him straightway, ul nearly touch yon cloud. I'm beautiful and straight and tall; My boughs, they spread out wide, I am the stateliest tree of all That grow in the country side.h The bramble neler a word replied, For he was very humble, uBut yet, he thought, this hr tree's pride Will some day take a tumble, ' So one fine day in lovely May, When Flowers bloomed around, A forester who chanced that way Just felled him to the ground. No longer could that fir be proud, No more despise his brothers, No longer stretched he toward yon cloud, Nor towerld above the others.

FORWARD THE TALE OF THE F OUNTAIN PEN Goldie Schimmel, ' 2 2. WAS Friday, 5 P. M., of a bleak November day. Elizabeth G. Annan, riding home on a west- bound Walbrook car, settled her books comfortably on her lap, and fell to speculating on the scene that would confront her when she arrived homeein time for supper. This was the third day in succession that she had left school about two hours after closing time, and she knew so well justiwhat the folks would say! She sighed and gazed dismally out of the dirty window. Mother would declare that she did not under- stand why Elizabeth couldn't get home from school as early as the girl next door! And she didn't see why the school authorities ordered schools to be closed at 2.30 if Elizabeth in- sistecl on going home at 5.30! Oh, well, Eliza- beth thought, condescendingly, she really couldn't expect her mother to understand the many duties and pleasures of a popular High School senior! The many committee meet- ings, class meetings, club meetings, and vari- ous official duties that simply must be attended to! For Elizabeth was popular! By this time the dreadfully pokey car had reached Charles Street, and Elizabeth, turn- ing about in her seat, watched idly the motley crowd now entering the car. There were dirty, tired workmen, weary women shoppers, col- lege girls, and yOung, immaculate college boys. Elizabeth was certainly pleased to discover that she'was not the only school girl on the car, because it really did give one such a strange, useless feeling to be the only student among a crowd of hard-working people! At any rate, she wasn't the only school person get- ting home late. By some strange chance of Fate ldid I say that Elizabeth was considered pretty by her enemie39l one of the J. H. U. boys attached himself to the strap hanging directly in front of Elizabeth; and after a few hurried side glances, Elizabeth decided that she liked that boys looks immensely. He was so nice and tall and good looking! The college student on his part had hastily reached the conclusion that the girl seated in front of him certainly wasn't bad to look at! By this time the car had reached Park Avenue, and during the stop at that street, Elizabeth heard the soft thud of something falling, and glancing down, she saw an ordinary, black, self-fllling fountain pen ly- ing half-way between her and the Johns Hop- kins boy. uYou dropped your fountain pen,H the boy said politely, raising his hat. Thank you, eand Elizabeth extended her hand for the pen. While holding the pen in her hand she searched through her bag, and then brought forth a pen exactly like the one she held! HNo, it's not mine, Elizabeth said, smiling- ly, and then added: uIt must be yours.n So the pen was handed back to the young man. A search through his pockets, however, con- vinced the boy and Elizabeth that the pen did not belong to him, either, for he brought out for Elizabethys inspection another pen, simi- lar to the one which he had picked up, and to Elizabethis own. uWell, that surely is funny, the boy ejaculated, and Elizabeth smilingly, but much puzzled, nodded in agreement. Meanwhile, passengers who had been standing near anci who had been onlookers in the little scene, quickly made certain that the mysteri- ous pen was no property of theirs. The pen therefore belonged to no one! A gift of the gods! And now the car had reached Madison Ave- nue, and the J. H. U. student, suddenly re- membering that he had reached his destina- tion, made a dash for the exit. At the door he turned, raised his hat smilingly, and looking squarely into Elizabeth's eyes, said in a loud, clear voice that rang throughout the car, Thanks for the fountain pen! And he was gone! The crowd laughed loudly, and Eliza- zeth, too, laughed with them, but rather weak- ly. Of course, 'the pen did not belong to her, but then it wasn't his, either, and it didn,t seem quite right for him to take it! The gentle- manly thing to do would have been to have gra- ciously requested her to keep it. Not that she needed one, but, well,e-he did seem to be such a nice young man! When Elizabeth arrived home in time for supper, she listened to the usual and expected THE EASTERN reproaches and questions. She explained her lateness, but as she did not convince or ap- pease her parents, she ate her meal in silence and then promptly forgot all about the mys- tery of the fountain pen, and every other clis- turbance. Week-ends were meant for a happy and enjoyable time, and she certainly meant to have one! So all thought of the street car incident was forgotten for the time. Sunday morning found Elizabeth C. Annan curled up in a huge armchair devouring the morning papers. Suddenly the telephone rang sharply, and Elizabeth reluctantly threw down her papers and answered the insistent call of the operator. iiHello, Elizabeth 6. , a familiar voice said clearly from the other end of the wire. HThis is RutheRuth Harlam. Say, Betty, the voice of her chum continued, HI just called up to tell you not to forget to bring my fountain pen to school with you Monday. Elizabeth What iiFountain penefountain pen,n echoed stupidly. iiWhat do you mean? pen are you talking about? ECHO 4' iiWhy, Betts,n Ruth answered, udon't you remember that I made you custodian of my fountain pen during the Assembly Friday morning and that you forgot to give it to me? Don't tell me you don't remember my giving it to you! uNo, no, of course, I rememberel know! Sure, I'll bring it, if I don't forget! Cood-bye, good-bye! and Elizabeth, rudely awakened, hung up the receiver, and like the heroine of the novel, sat down limply in the nearest chair. That fountain pen of the street car,-that pen which the Hopkins boy had so calmly appro- priatede-that pen which she had so easily given up all claim tqebelonged to Ruth Har- laml The nerve of that boy! His, Llhanks for the fountain pen, rang mockingly in her ears, and Elizabeth smiled grimly and wretch- eclly as the vision of $2.50 Heated before her eyes. Shed have to use some of the money she was saving for a school ring to buy Ruth a pen! She could never, never, tell Ruth how she lost it-she'd make such fun of her! iiAnd I wouldn't blame her a bit, Elizabeth mut- tered. I was so stupid! That boy! If she could only meet him again! anlzgngHp THE LAST STRING Written in Hebrew Verse. Translated into English Prose by Miriam Barshad. Put into English Verse by Ada French. In the midnight when the moon shone through the trees And Hecked their darkness with her silver light, Mid drooping houghs there sang a nightingale And trilled her music to the scented night. Oh, play, play, guitar! Oh, play, and thrill me with the vibrant song Whose music, first by fair Sheronah played Beneath the listening moon and quiet sky, Still weaves itself into her arbor's shade. Oh, play, play, guitar! There is but one string left, one fragile string; If that should breakedeath to my dreams and song; Farewell to love and hope as thy song fades, And like the swift-wingecl nightingale is gone. Oh, play, play, guitar! My Spring of life, how sweet my song of thee, How dear to me the nightingale and moon! But ah! such sweetness ev'n as this must fade, The pale rays dull, the song die all too soon. Oh, play, play, guitar! But oh. on such a wondrous night as this, My heart, my wonderful heart, will never cry. It seems the very stars gleam dimmer still, And tremble and are saddened in the sky. Oh, play, play, guitar! That thou hast left me all alone, The fault is thine; I only love, am true. Oh, play, oh, play again, once pulsing strings, With cherished dreams lift up my soul anew. Oh, play, play, guitar! The string is snapped, its yearning, broken song, Divinest melody, has flown too soon Into the distance, where my false love breathes Inconstant vows beneath the amorous moon. Oh, play, play, guitar!

No, not so long as there are mortal beings on the earth, with human impulses and desires. It is human nature to want more. to have more, and, if it is possible, to get more by war, no nation will hesitate to declare war. What is most needed now is some- thing to make smaller the possibility of gain by declaring war. . There is no doubt that at the present time every nation in the world wants peace. The horrible experiences of the recent war are all too fresh in our minds for us to think of anything but to prevent its re-occurrence. There was a time when some thought that war was a moral toniceactually believed that man would degenerate if not kept up to the fighting pitch; but this delusion, repugnant to humanity as well as religion, has been dispelled by the un- speakable horrors of the World War. Now, what means shall be employed to ob- tain a respite? Will excessive armament pre- vent another outbreak? Surely not. Does not a boy with a new, sharp knife have a strong desire to cut something? Armament is put- ting the knife in the hands of the nations. There is the inborn desire to try it out. Armament means war. In addition to the fact that civilized man- kind no longer considers war glorious, nor a school of virtue, there is no longer any limit to the cost of war. War used to be compara- tively inexpensive. Knights used to go out, fur- nishing their own equipment and maintaining their own expense. Our own Revolutionary War cost only $170,000,000. Think of ite a whole war, lasting eight years, only one hun- dred and seventy million dollarSe-what a bar- gain! Those were the good old clays when you could get a real war cheap. But when this last war drew to a close, it was costing in direct ex- penses ten million dollars an hour. Just as there is no limit to cost, neither is there any limit to the method of killing, not any possibility of sheltering any portion of the population from the direct effect of war. Bombs, poisonous gases, germs Gt is an established fact that the next war will be fought with germsl are no respecters of age or sex. Disarmament will, naturally, have the oppo- site effect. It will relieve the exhausting strain on the nation's resources. The war cost ap- proximately eight to ten billion dollars a year. One hundred and sixty billion dollars of what is left is set aside to pay the reckoning and make ready for future wars. Labor and indus- try cannot bear this burden. If the government tries to work them to pay the bill, it is defeat- ing the very ends of national defense that it professes to serve. War is no longer a conHict between uniformed forces Of professional com- batants. 'It is a conflict of all the resources of the contestants. It was the overwhelming eco- nomic force of the United States that won the war. Is there a shadow of an excuse for the government's spending on preparation for fu- ture wars more than the entire net expenses of the Federal government five years ago? The answer may be given to this, that it is clone for the national defense. The national defense is weakened, not strengthened by this exces- sive drain. True, the idea of scrapping all those wonderful battleships may not appeal to an economical mind. It may seem a waste. Is it not better, though, than scrapping the lives of our children, who will be the participants in the next war? In disarming, large sums of money would be saved annually in every nation. The amount of the upkeep of our navy alone is inconceiv- able. What would not this sum, devoted to Spiritual and educational needs, do for our country? What is more of an asset than a na- tion of well-educatecl, peaceful citizens? That is a thing to strive for, to be proud of. America can think of herself alone no long- er. During the war humanityis cause was 44 America's cause. It was then that Americans woke up. Now they realize more than ever that we cannot adhere to that narrow, selfish idea of the Monroe doctrine. America must take up her share of the world's burden. In the future We could no more hold aloof from Eua rope's affairs than France could stay uncon- cernecl about affairs in Germany or England. The League of Nations' plan for peace is Americais chance to continue the work she started in the war. But the question arises, ls the plan feasible? It does not profess to end war for all time. That is impossible, but by making clear to the threatening nations and to the world what the real issue is, and what an impartial Tribunal thinks about it, the enforced procedure and necessary delay will prevent most wars. To make the platform strong, the eight or nine great powers should join the league. The weaker nations will then be glad to secure the benefit of its protection. The platform only lays down broad lines. lts machinery must be worked out in Interna- tional Conference. The platform has four main planks: l. All justifiable questions arising among the signatory powers not settled by negotiation shall, subject to the limitation of treaties, be given to a judicial tribunal for hearing and judgment. THE EASTERN ECHO 2. All other questions arising among the signatory powers and not settled by negotia- tion shall be submitted to a Council of Con- ciliation for hearing, consideration, and rec- ommendation. 3. The signatory powers shall jointly use forthwith both their economic and military forces against any one of their number that goes to war or commits acts of hostility against another of the signatories before any question arising shall be submitted as provided in the foregoing. 4. Conferences between the signatory pow- ers shall be held from time to time to for- mulate and codify rules of international law, which, unless some signatory shall signify its dissent within a stated period, shall thereafter govern in the decision of the judicial tribunal mentioned in Article l. In order to make this league a success, secret diplomacy must be abolished. This would be, in fact. about the only thing that would ham- per efficiency of the league. The league will not stop war. It a nation should find that, by declaring war on another nation, in the face of the league, it could gain something, that nation would not hesitate to declare war; but, will many nations see their way clear to declare war against the rest of the world, which would be the case, according to Article 3? This league will reduce to a minimum the possibility of war. SOME 1909 H ISTORY To the Students of the E. H. 5.: Two years ago I was requested to write a brief history of the Class of I909 tor the Echo ; perhaps some of you remember it; I suppose most of you don't, but, be that as it may, i have been given a iirepeat order , and that is what we like, whether we are business men or embryo writers. This time I have been requested to tell all about our Class Reunion, which was held on March 25th, l922, at the E. H. 5., when we were honored by having with us Mr. and Mrs. Flowers, your new principal and his wife; Misses Carpenter and White, of the faculty; Mrs. jacob G. Moses, president of the Alumnae Association, and Miss May B. MufHey, former instructor of music at the school. The latter made a flying trip from Nashville, Tenn., where she had been attending a convention, in order to help the uNaughty Niners celebrate. Upon her arrival, the class presented her with a beau- tiful bouquet of lavender sweet-peas. Well, to begin with, we opened our reunion with a very brief and snappy business meet- ing, during which we transacted all of the nec- essary details concerning the year's work, and then we played. THE EASTERN We played a game called An Aviation Meet , and everybody had to qualify as an aviator, taking the ground test, endurance test, making nose dives, tail spins, etc.; you should have seen the dignified members of the faculty and some of our young matrons, school marms and stenographers going through their tests and utrying to look serious; it was impOSSi- ble, because if they did not laugh, we made them. We forgot who and where we were and just had a good time. Splendid prizes were awarded to the successful contestants; they consisted of toy balloons, paper caps, horns, blowers, fancy paper baskets, and sich like ; qurte appropriate, niest-ce-pas? At frequent intervals we sang our class songs. At first we got off the key a little, but that didnt matter; after repeating them several times We sang like the chorus of the Baltimore Opera Company. As one of our class very aptly put it, HLet us sing while we may! It is terrible to think of having to grow old, isn't it, but we are not iicleacl by any means. I told your principal when I invited him to the reunion that, although we had passed out of the portals of the E. H. S. thirteen years ago, we still had ulots of pep ; after the reunion he said that I had spoken iinothing but the truth. At the close of the evening uhot dogs , rolls, potato salad, olives, Charlotte russe and coffee were served in the faculty dining-room. Jonquils were used throughout for the decora- tions, even to the paper napkins; a jonquil was laid across each person's tray as a souv- enir of the occasion. Our class has arrived at that stage where quite a few of our members have flourishing families, so last year we gave a HBaby Party at the home of our president, Miss Anna F. Farnen, 3410 Bateman avenue, and at that party we had thirty children, ranging in ages from six weeks to ten years. A committee took charge of the children, while the mothers sat and chatted. They had a promenade around the lawn and were given fancy paper caps, balloons, and whistles, and, in a short time, the air was filled with shrill noises and the reports of miniature explosions. They played iihide and go seek , they danced, they hunted for American Hags which were hidden about the lawn. Prizes were given to the boy and girl finding the most and to the boy and girl finding the least. ECHO 45 One little miss, whose sister won a prize, began to cry when she found out that she was left, and in order to appease her, she was presented with a consolation prize. Recently, her mother rebuked her when she was naughty, and told her that she would never get anything by cry- ing, and she reminded her of the time When she got a doll by crying, after she found she was not going to receive a prize at the Baby Party. Thafs the kind of Children we have; iismart just like their mothers. Although more than half of our class is married, most of them are busy with their families, and the rest with their Various other Vocations, they still have time to think of their Alma Mater. In April we gave a card party for the benefit of the Students' Aid Fund, E. H. S., which netted us $25, and this money will be turned over to the school to help worthy students who find it impossible to con- tinue their studies unless they receive financial help. Miss Carpenter made an appeal for funds at the Alumnae meeting in April, and we promptly responded. In the fall, when the Alumnae hold their bazar, a portion of the proceeds will go to- ward this fund. There will be a I909 class table; the chairman of the ice-cream table is from our class, likewise the chairman of the Country Store; I can safely say that hfty per cent. of our class will be iion the job. Last, but not least, our president, Miss Farnen, has consented to act as general chairman, so we shall be very much in evidence when it comes to Working to help the students of our Alma Mater. 1 have digressed somewhat from the re- union to tell about some of the things which we have done, and I suppose that by now I have exceeded the amount of space allotted to me for this erite-up , but before closing, just let this iithirteen-year-old class give you a little advice: Keep up your class after grad- uation, have a definite objective, and let it be something for the betterment of the school or the student body; affiliate with the Alumnae, work with it and for it; and thus cement the bond of loyalty which binds those who have gone before with those who are still in the dear old E. H. 5. Very sincerely, Alma McShane Serowka, Secretary. NEWS CLUB HE S. P. Q. R. held its last meeting of the year in the Assembly Hall on Wednesday, April 26, with the Con- sul presiding. The Scriba announced that fifty new members entered the ' Club from the February class. The Princeps Quaestorum reported $67.11 in the treasury. It was voted that the ballot for the officers for next year, which had been sub- mitted to and voted upon by the executive board, be cast by the Consul. The oHicers for next year are: Consul ................ Minnie Gluth Princeps Quaestorum. .Catherine Sindall Scriba ............. Margaret Schmidt First Praetor ......... Evelyn Schaeffer Second Praetor. . . .Catherine Macdonald The club was then entertained by a solo by Mary Carneal, followed by the hrst part of the song contest in which the second and fourth years participated. The judges were Miss Mal- lalieu, Miss Dandy and Miss Mullikin. With the fourth year song was a dramatization which delighted everyone. HTrimalehiols Dinner, a story of a Roman banquet at a freedman's house and a guest's experience with a were- wolf, was told by Frances Guest, and then the Cicero classes presented the liBurial of Cicerc.n A little playlet entitled HA School Cirrs Dream was given, in which Minnie Cluth was Caesar's Ghost, and Alice Maguire the sehool Girl. The song contest was then continued, and the first and third years presented their songs. After a brief intermission the judges of the contest announced that the decision was in favor of the third year. The meeting then adjourned to the gym- nasium, where songs were sung and ice-cream was served. M. A. H. 11HlmlF-Alb MATH HE. last meeting of the Math Club was held on March 23. . The topic for the afternoon was the explanation of vari- ous methods of calculating compound interest by different mathematical formulae and instruments, followed by a study of the slide rule. Sophie Birnbaum showed how a given problem could be worked by methods of business arithmetic. Winifred Hopkins and Minnie Gluth explained the bi- nominal theorem and showed how its use would shorten the problem. Elisabeth Pollock explained briefly the theory of logarithms and the use of logarithmic tables. Sara Thomas then showed how this same question could be worked by the use of a formula and the log arithmic tables. Seven Polytechnic students were with us at this meeting. Mr. R. R. Burgess explained the use of the slide rule, and he and the other boys CLUB showed the girls how to use it. The accurate and rapid work done by these boys and their clear grasp of the principles underlying the slide rule were an inspiration to all of the girls. We hope they will come again. The Math Club is planning a party for the evening of May 12th. Dr. Becker, Mrs. Becker, and the Western High School Math. Club are to be our guests. Weehope to have a great time dancing in the gym and star gazing on the roof. The new daylight-saving plan will give us an opportunity to see stars at sunset, when Venus is glorious in the west. Last year the joint parties of the W. H. S. and E. H. S. clubs were quite a feature. 'We entertained the West- ern and they entertained us. We hope that this good-fellowship between the sister schools will grow and flourish from year to year. THE EASTERN ECHO THE OUT-DOOR CLUB PRING has come again and the Out- Door girls of E. H. S. are rejoicing, as it means that now the days are long enough for comparatively long hikes to be taken and still allow the girls to be home by dark. At this time of the year the woods and parks, both in the city and. in the suburbs, are perfectly beautiful with lovely flowers. The Out-Door Club has several times been out to enjoy nature in this most beautiful sea- son of the year; and the girls have been great- ly benefited by getting into close touch with nature. One Wednesday in April the Club went to Govans to gather flowers, leaving school about 3.30 P. M. The girls had a gay time, and re' turned home tired but happy. To appreciate the wonders of nature, her glorious colors, her refreshing scents, and to have a healthy liking for games and sports that help to make girls into stronger, nobler and more broad-minded women, has been the aim of the Out-Door Club of the E. H. S. in the past year. ' This club has succeeded very well in its infant year, thanks to the teachers and pupils who have helped it grow, and here's hopingr it will be continued next year with increased membership and renewed energy and activity. Mary Frantz, '22. 11H18263lH15 LANIER NEWS HE Lanier Literary and Debating So- ciety for once lived up to the last part of its name. Not since the Debating section was abolished has the club held a real debate. The question under discussion was, Resolved: That ner-Sterling Bill should be adopted. The affirmative side was upheld by Irma Day, Gladys Crowley and Sara Thomas. Frances Guest, Mildred White, and Elizabeth Deussen defended the negative side. The battle was long and fiercely contested. Each side sent out its advance guard to test the strength of the enemy side and to gain as much ground as possible. The main attack then began. Two speakers from each side delivered their points, and put. forth a mighty effort to turn the tide in their favor. Then came the final rally. The two generals, Sara and Frances, marshalled all their forces for the supreme effort. They ham- mered clown each other's arguments until all their resources were exhausted. The judges, Miss Moog, Miss Wickes, and Mr. Flowers, de- cided unanimously in favor of the negative sicle. The Club wishes to express its appreciation of the entertainment furnished by the first year at the April meeting. After several excellent musical selections, Hawthorne's iiFeathertOp was presented. Then A-4 offered a clever movie episode called uPokey Hontus. The Class of 1922 is about to give up its leadership of the Lanier Club, and is looking to the succeeding classes to uphold the stand- ard. We wish to extend our grateful appreciav tion to our faculty advisers, Misses Haslup, Becker, and Thornburg, who have guided and helped us so faithfully. Not only the club as a whole, but also the individual members have felt their influence. May our successors find the work as pleasant and as helpful as we have, and may they meet with the utmost success in every phase of it. mg, .4: E INCE the last number of the HEcho the Juniors have been very busy. The most important thing which happened was the presentation of the play, iiThe Maker of Dreams? which was given ' for the benefit of the scholarship fund. After the play there was a dance in the ugym,n where punch'was sold. The affair was pro- nounced a success by everyone. The newest thing in class news is our Easter egg. Although Easter holidays have long since gone by, there is one thing which still re- minds the Juniors of the Easter bunny. This is a large, bronze egg, with a slit in the top, and it is placed on the assembly platform at every class meeting. Every girl who has had a birth- day since September must place in the egg as many pennies as she is years old. These pen- nies will some day help an ambitious girl through college. Although the egg has ap- peared at only one class meeting, you ought to pick it up and hear the money rattle! rwi . M: 1' aw g g jteew Just now the girls are still very enthusiastic over their assembly which took place on May the ninth. First, there were three vocal selec- tions by Wilhelmina Cuttenson. Then there was a short comedy entitled lci On Parle Francais. This play was given by C-l at the April class meeting, to which the Freshmen were invited, and it was such a success that it was decided to present it at assembly. The girls taking part showed unusual talent and kept their audience in a gale of laughter. Following the Senior-Junior basketball game, the Juniors gave a feast for the two teams in the lunchroom. Every one had a de- lightful time and remained at school for the Sophomore-Freshman game which was played that evening. if our attempts next year prove as success- ful as those of this year, we shall be satisfied, but we hope, as Seniors, to do even better than we did as Juniors.

This enter- tainment was presented at a special class meeting, and the girls enjoyed t t it very much. Then one Thursday during the month of March, when the entire school was busily engrossed in lessons, the second year gave its assembly. The Sopho- mores were very proud of the fact that theirs was. the first class assembly, and it was with light hearts and heads erect that they took their seats up front like dignified Seniors. The assembly was a success, thanks to the labor of Miss Thompson and the hearty co-operation of the girls in the play and those who ren- dered piano, violin, or vocal numbers. Now we are spending all our energy and time in swelling our scholarship fund. Our aim is to send one or more of our members to Goucher, one to the Maryland Institute, and one to a Commercial College. In order that this goal may be reached we have set up a udepartment store , and those who have tried but wares, such as hair nets, erasers, paper, compasses, eversharp pencils, Easter cards, etc., know that 24 is a reliable dealer. A still greater opportunity for increasing our bank account was presented by Miss Arm- strong. The High School Orchestra, composed of boys and girls: from Polytechnic, City Col- lege, Eastern, and Western, is giving a concert on June 1, assisted by the Eastern High School Chorus. The soloist of the evening is also a daughter of the iiCnreen and Gold. It has been arranged, therefore, since iiEasternites play such a large part in the entertainment, that an Eastern class finance the performance. 1924 through its honoray members has agreed to do this, one-half the proceeds going to our scholarship fund. 50 with our adviser at the helm, our class ship has been fairly launched, and is having good sailing now. We hope that, if the crew will stand by ready to help, our sturdy bark will soon reach the Port of Financial Pros- perity.

ASSEMBLY NEWS Continued from page 51 visit from Miss Pierce, a well-known nurse, who was with the Red Cross during the war. Her talk was very interesting. She gave a brief sketch of her life when she was studying to be a nurse, and compared the schools then with the up-to-date, pleasant, schools of today. She told us something about the life and work of Florence Nightingale, and also urged us to seriously consider nursing as our vocation, as it is one of the finest things and comfortable a woman can do. HEARD IN ENGLISH iiMy, that fellow Finis must be popular. He has his name at the end of every book. HE Class of '25, E. H. 5., has passed through its first year and its history is replete with many interesting events, some of which I will endeavor to chronicle in the order in which they occurred: 1. An address by Mr. Roycroft, in which he gave us many valuable hints on iiHow to Vote. 2. We were informed by Mr. Flowers that Miss Calder was to be our Class Adviser, and Miss Wilcox was to be our basketball coach. These proved to be very happy selections. 3. Election of officers, with the following results: President ............. Alice Jimmyer Vice-President : ....... Elizabeth Pilsch Secretary ............ Estella Roebuck 4. Inauguration of officers. 5. Choosing of class colors, Maroon and Gold, and the class Hower, Tea Rose. 6. Selection of our Finance Committee. 7. One of the outstanding events of the year was an entertainment given by September girls to February girls. 8. Autograph Contest. 9. Last, but not least, is an event we are all looking forward to with mingled feelings of regret and pleasureethe vacation season. We regret the Hleaving behind of many school duties, pleasures, and companionships; but we are looking forward with much pleasure to our vacation, after which we hope to meet again in dear old uEastern,n where we may continue our preparation for the battle of life.

Hmomw-w REUNION OF THE CLASS OF 1912 ACH year, in April, the members of the Class of 1912 foregather, to renew old acquaintance and to pledge anew their love and loyalty to their Alma Mater. At the 1921 meeting it was decided that, as 1922 marks the tenth milestone of our career beyond Eastern, our celebration should be a more elaborate one. Florence Cutberlet Taylor was appointed chairman of the com- mittee to make plans for the reunion. The committee made special efforts to extend to each member of the class a personal invita- tion. As a result of their faithful and untiring work 51 members of the Class of 1912 and their honorary members, Miss Carpenter and Dr. and Mrs. Becker, met in the dining-room of the St. George Hotel on Thursday evening, April 27th. Some of the girls not living in Baltimore made special trips home to attend the supper: Louise Baer Lincoln, 1912's presi- dent, came from New Jersey; Mildred Gun- ther Moseley, from the South, and Jennie Beck Gray, 'from the West. After greetings were ex- changed, each girl found her place at the table by means of a jonquil place card. During the supper there was a constant buzz of voices as the girls recalled events of 1912 or told of hap- penings during the intervening years. At the ' conclusion of the supper there were telegrams and letters from those unable to be present, and informal talks by Miss Carpenter, Dr. Beck- er, Louise Baer Lincoln and Elizabeth Welch. On behalf of the class Dr. Becker presented Miss Carpenter with a 'friendship pin, a token of 19128 love and esteem for her. At nine o'clock husbands and friends came in for the dancing that lasted until eleven o'clock. When HHome, Sweet Home was played, each girl in 1912 declared that the tenth reunion was the most successful yet and resolved to take up Louise Lincoln's challenge that she would make a special trip to Baltimore each year to attend 1912's reunion, if every girl would pledge herself to be there to greet her. ASSEMBLY NEWS Clare Councell, ,23. N March seventeenth we were enter- tained by Mr. and Mrs. George Pick- ering. Mr. Pickering sang and Mrs. Pickering accompanied! him on the piano. Mr. Pickeringis fine songs drew a, great deal of applause. At Dawningn and None 50 Fair were received most enthusiastically. The following week, on March twenty- fourth, as the next day was Maryland Day, lVIr. Flowers gave us an almost complete hisd tory of Maryland, and told us the many things we had to be proud of as Marylanders and as Baltimoreans. Quite a few of us had never before realized the number of things Maryland has introduced and furthered, nor how much she has clone to make her famous until we heard Mr. Flowers' talk, and it made us hold our heads higher when we realized we lived here. Dr. Lazaron made his long-deferred visit on April eleventh, and gave us a never-to-be- forgotten account of his journey to the Holy Land. It is impossible to give an idea Of the beauty of his description. For the space of an hour we were transported to Palestine and seemed really to see the scenes he was describ- ing, and to live through his experiences. Dr. Lazaron took quotations from the Bible and applied them to the rocks, deserts, streams, and hills in such a way as to clearly show their real interpretation. It was a wonderful talk, one that impressed every girl, and one that will not soon be forgotten. On April twenty-f'irst we were entertained by the School Orchestra under the direction of Miss Jessie Armstrong. The program was very well planned and very well executed, and Miss Armstrong and the orchestra deserve special praise for their fine work. The program was as follows: Orchestra, uMignonette Overture ........ Baumann Duet, HO That We Two Were Mayingn ...... Smith Mildred Cage and Naomi Thomas Piano Solo, Impromptu in B Flat .......... Schubert Regina Dugan Orchestra, uAngels Serenade .............. Braga Gavotte ...................... Padre i'Melody of Love ...........

Losey On April twenty-eighth the Assembly was in charge of the second year, and they gave us a really worth while entertainment, which we all enjoyed very much. A complete ac- count of the assembly will be found in the sec- ond-year class news, Tuesday, May second, Miss Ascherfeld and lVliss Albert, from the Peabody Institute, were our guests. Miss Albert sang, and was accom- panied by Miss Ascherfeld, who also played several selections alone. Miss Albert has a wonderful voice, and has perfect control of it. Her songs were well selected, and both she and Miss Ascherfelcl were enthusiastically applaud- ed. The songs which appeared to be the best liked were, iiThe Lass With the Delicate Air, HThe Skylark , and particularly the iiSpring Song of the Robin , which Miss Albert sang as an encore. The following Friday the Senior class had charge of the Assembly and the play they gave, besides being distinctly out of the ordi- nary, was distinguished by fine acting. The characters seemed to live their parts and they put across the rather difficult acting in a truly praiseworthy manner. The program for the entire Assembly may be found in the fourth year class news. Tuesday, May ninth, the third year pre- sentecl Ici On Parle Francais.n The play was full of humor and kept the audience laughing from beginning to encl.

Admission was charged, and the money was given toward the treasury of our Athletic Association. The events and results are as follows: First, Sprint Run by lst, 2nd, 3rd and 4th year girls. The winner was Edna Golden. Second, Dance by first year girls. The best dancer chosen from this group was Sadie Hendler. Third, ROpe Climbing, with teams consisting of all four years. The winner was Miss Irma Day. Fourth, Standing Broad Jump. Out of the thirty girls contesting in this group Miss Marie Obrecht outjumped them all and set a record, 7 ft. 3V2 in. Fifth, Dance by second year. The best dancer from this group was Catherine Cox. Sixth, Rope Vaulting. Last years record of 6 ft, made by Angela Cole, was equaled by Marie Obrecht, the winner of this event. A close second was Irma Day. Seventh, Dance by third and fourth year girls. Miss Marjory Wallace was chosen as the best dancer of the third year girls, and Miss Ruth Biscoe of the fourth year girls. Eighth, Running High Jump, girls from all four years contested and the winners were Misses Helen Rouse and Doro- thy Ortman, who jumped 4 ft. At the end of these events a game was played between the 2nd and 4th year teams and the lst and 3rd year teams. The lst and 3rd year teams were victors. After the game the votes which had been collected to determine the queen of the exhi- bition were counted, and it was found that Miss Helen James, of the fourth year, was the queen, and amidst shouts of applause she was crowned by Marcella Behrens, president of the Athletic Association. The proceeds of the meet were $l04.4l. THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION HE Athletic Association was or , ganized at Eastern on Wednes- clay, March l5, l922. It con- sists of all the girls in the gym- nasium classes, assisted by the Faculty advisers, Miss O'tto, Miss Dandy, Miss Bishop, Miss Drummond, MiSS Crowl, Miss Joesting, and Miss Wilcox. At the meeting held for election of officers the results were: President, Marcella Behrens; Vice- President, Marie Obrecht; Treasurer, Helen James; Corresponding Secretary, Dorothy Schroeder; Recording Secretary, Angela Cole. At the first meeting of the thcial Board, plans were discussed for the Volleyball Tour- nament, the Tennis Club, and an outing at: the Park. The girls are very enthusiastic over the Club. .Himgggy'olH. BASKETBALL V Saturday, March l8th, at 8 o'clock, the Senior-Junior bas- ketball game was played. It had been rumored about that both years had a strong team, a and as a result, the gym was crowded, and as early as 7 o'clock resoundecl with basketball yells. From the very start of the game it was evident that it would be hard fought. During the first half both sides scored, but the Juniors were ahead. The first half ended with a score of: Seniors, 25; Juniors, 12. At the beginning of the second half the Seniors came back at the Juniors with a rush and scored several times in succession. But the Juniors quickly did the same and after a hard struggle defeated the Seniors with a score of 39-l9, a thing which has happened for the first time at Eastern. On the following Friday, March 24th, the Sophomore-Freshman game was played. From the beginning the Sophornores took the lead and kept it throughout the game, but not be- fore the Freshmen had given them a lively struggle. The final score was: Sophomores, 5 Z; Freshmen, I 8. After the Sophomore-Freshman game the basketball season came to an abrupt end, and the players reluctantly said good-bye to the old gym until next season. Dorothy Ortman, '23. CITY NEWS HE last month at City has been a time of marked activity. On April 26 our orchestra gave an honest-to-goodness concert at our weekly assembly. They rendered several difficult pieces with ease, and made a very creditable showing. The solos of some of the more ac- complished members of the body were quite a feature of the clay. City College came out second in the annual declamation contest held at St. John's Col- lege, Annapolis, on April 27. Leslie Schwinn, '22, was our representative. The literary as- sociations, also, are terminating their annual inter-society contests, the winner of each of which receives an engraved gold medal. Our Stamp Club is carrying on a series of interesting contests with that of Poly. So far, each club has one victory to its credit. The Chemistry Club has been quite active. Several trips have been made to prominent local con- cerns, and an all-day trip to the Hercules Pow- der Plant in Pennsylvania will be undertaken at the end of this month. The Seniors are now only too conscious of the nearness of June 19th, the clay of grad- uation. The affairs of the class are being dis- posed of one by one. The Moonlight was held on May l9 on the steamer Dreamland. The boat was crowded and every one, it seems, had a delightful time. The Prom will be held on June 2nd, at the Emerson Hotel. The Ban- quet will be held on June 19, just following the graduation, at the same hotel. The Class, only too appreciative of the advice given them throughout the year by Mr. Coulbourn, their honorary member, experiences a sense of im- mense sadness as commencement time draws near, for it is not easy to sever the close asso- ciations of four years. The last issue of the Oriole, the gradua- tion number, will contain eighty pages. Quite a few of its pages will be devoted to the Seniors and the wealth of novelties in the magazine will make it the greatest triumph of a wholly successful year. Fare thee well, Eastern, until next year, when, we hope, our relations will be con- tinued. Allan L. Grainn, '22. POLY NEWS URING the last several weeks of our 9 most successful school year, the vari- ous organizations of Poly have been very active. The last dance of the season was - held at Community Hall on May 5, and it was more successful than the previous one from a financial standpoint, at least. During Boy Week, which was the first week in May, there was a large parade, and a great number of our Cadets and former Cadets took part in it. We also, during this week, were given a short address by Mr. Hamilton, a mem- ber of the Kiwanis Club. His subject was, iiThrift, and he certainly covered it well. He also made very plain the object of Boy Week. All the clubs have been exceedingly active this season, but we believe the most active is the Radio Club. This club is larger than the others, and there is always something doing among its many members. Every afternoon code practice is held, and shortly we shall be turning out some expert Radio operators. W. K. Ferguson. OHWHC WESTERN NEWS E have had some remarkable assem- blies at Western lately. We had Sophomores Day for the first time in the history of Western. That is, the Sophomores had an as- sembly all their own. Since the As- sembly Hall can not hold the whole school the Juniors decided to stay away, allowing Seniors and Sophomores to be there in full force. By this arrangement an unwritten law was instituted: No Junior can be present at the Sophomore Assembly. Mr. Souvaine came to Western while he was in the city, and on two occasions gave us an excellent talk and concert. Mr. Hamilton, of the Chickering Piano Company, was there, and had a Chickering Ampico. The entire school was interested to note the exact repro- duction of Mr. Souvaine's selections on the Ampico. ' Junior Day came and went, with all its joys and thrills. Such a day! The Class of l923 54 gave a play called iifl'he Dream Shop, I can say of a surety that the Juniors were glad to sing their class song, wear their class colors and HOWer, and show the whole school their class banner. But its all over now and re- mains a memory, that's all. The Junior-Senior boat ride took place on May 27. Such a time, and what fun! No one can imagine what a good time we had unless she was along. THE EASTERN ECHO Senior Day Hnishes the year. On that event- ful day the Seniors solemnly hand to the com- ing Seniors the school banner and honor. Many vows are made, and farewell songs are sung. One and all we feel that our Seniors are leav- ing us again. Each year we say, iiGood-bye, and each year we think that it's harder for those who must'return to their books next year, just a little nearer the top, and the end. Ruth M.

We are glad to say that - -- - - we have quite a few of them. Altogether, our exchanges have been very worth while, and we hope you will all come again. HWah Hoo,n Pittsburgh, Pa.-The cover for your April Fool issue was fine. uThe House Behind the Wrought Iron Gates, in the May issue, was a typical ghost story and surely was Hspooky.

THE SOCIAL SERVICE CLUB UST about the time school closed last summer, the Eastern High School Social Service Club decided to co-operate with the Baltimore Alliance in its summer welfare work among the babies and children and contributed the sum of $60 to cover the expenses of one hour. In the fall the club was organized with a standing committee to represent the entire stu- dent body. The organization was made early in November, when the school was called upon once more to engage in the annual uRoll Call of the American Red Cross. The committee, which is often called the uRed Cross Commit- tee -with Bernice Schutz as chairmanedid good work and saw to it that nine hundred persons answered the call. Soon after this drive was completed we be- came engaged once more in preparing for our Christmas Bazaar. The l92l bazaar was given for the joint benefit of the two companion pieces of work of the school, viz.: the Student Aid and the Social Service. The entire school entered into this gigantic task and the pennies and dollars gradually rolled into the treasury, unlil we had $962.10 to divide with our sister organization. Our share of the proceeds made it possible to go ahead once more with the job of play- ing Santa Claus to many children. Hundreds of tarletan stockings, all bound round with bright colored wool, were made and packed with can- dies, nuts and toys. The stockings were made by the Class of I925. The way these newest members of the school family entered into the work was a cheering thing, and bade fair for their future interest in the Social Service work. Long before the Christmas work became so engrossing, however, many classes in the school decided to follow what is fast becoming a cus- tom and iiaclopted families to help during the year. Members of the Social Service Depart- ment of the Johns Hopkins and the Family Welfare Association were kind enough to ad- vise us and help us find worthy people for our girls to help. With the approach of Christmas, the de- mands for families increased and it was hard to find enough to go round. Again the Family Welfare Association came to our aid and we supplied many families with Christmas cheer. Altogether, something like thirty families re- ceived large baskets of food with stockings and toys for all the children. The stockings distributed were as follows: Locust Point ............ 256 Henry Watson Aid. . . . . 100 Bohqlmialn Kindergarten. . . 88 School No. 76 ........... 95 School No. 9 ............ I63 Families l05 Total ........... 807 Each little girl had a doll in her stocking, and each little boy a horn, ball or top. Since Christmas we have responded to the call of the Y. W. C. A. and the Baltimore Al- liance, and made a contribution to each. Sometime during the spring we had the op- portunity of furnishing a little crippled child with a suitable bed so that he could leave the hospital and go home to his mother. He is only four years old and had been two years in hospital. He may never walk, and the com- mittee eagerly voted to buy the bed and to make his life as happy as possible at home with his mother. We are still working away with the families and believe that some of life's 'ilittle ones are comingr more and more to think of the Eastern as a iibig sister school. We think the HEcho readers will be inter- ested to see the amount of expenditures and receipts, as it gives some idea of the work ac- complishecl.

THE EASTERN ECHO COUNCIL NEWS HE last meeting of the School Council i is to be held on Monday, May l4, and for the fourth year girls, at least, it is, indeed, the last meeting. As the different problems and ques- tions have come up during the year, council members have spent much time and thought attempting to exert just the right in- fluence, and to point out to the school just the right road to reform. As the improvements since school began are quite noticeable,' we sincerely hope that we have been one of the factors which has brought them about. The council members are brought more and more to realize the great advantages of being in a democratic high school, where the opin- ions of the girls are expressed through their representatives. We have come to the conclu- sion that Eastern High Schoolcis perhaps the most perfect example of a purely democratic high school. Most of the problems have been satisfac- torily solved, and we trust that the few re- maining ones will cause no difficulty for the next year's members. Our most recent and perhaps our most serious problem is that of cheating during exams. This is unsolved as yet, and it seems as if the girls themselves are the We hope that they will all think about the matter very, very only ones who can remedy it. seriously. We want to thank Mr. Flowers and Miss Carpenter for their valued help during the year and also thank the girls for their co-operation. Kirkley Greenwell, '22.

APPLIED CHEMISTRY Ki-+Zs: Kiss. It is conjugate salt. The reaction takes place more rapidly in the absence of light. It has a sweet taste and an ethereal odor. When taken in small quantities it produces a blissful sensae tion, but in large quantities it has a nauseous effect. It is soluble in distilled moonlight, and is best precipitated in the absence of humani- ty. The presence of a catalytic agent, such as ulove , increases the speed and temperature of the reaction.
