Commerce State University of Iowa 11 THE CARDINAL Faculty Poem Under a spreading chestnut tree, The High School Faculty stands, A sound and mighty army they, With large and lofty minds 5 And their determined strength of aims, Is as strong as iron bands. Miss Adams there, so stern and sweet, Her voice is high and grand, Her brow is Wet with honest sweat, She earns whate'er she can. Week in, week out, from morn till night, DiVall, his face aglow, Swings high his heavy hammers all, Coaching with patience slow, Like Hercules lifting his mighty load, When the evening sun is low. Dear Andy works from morn till night, For the good of every one. To see her playing basket ball, Is really loads of fun 5 And everywhere all welcome her, For her smile is like the sun. Miss Lewis, like the summer breeze, Views life without a care, Yet of our toil and hardships, too, She always takes her share. Miss Thomsen, who is loved by all, Has shown her cards in basket ball. She also coaches proms and plays, And we admit, in every way, Her wisdom truly pays. Then dear Miss Bach, as we all know, Has made our old Math problems go, Even with excuses of best invention, She'd send us to detested detention. There's Mrs. Rodler, so matter of fact, Who sees that we get all our papers back. Some are marked D and others just E You should have worked harder, In consolation says she. 7 Mr. Robertson, Toiling-rejoicing-sorrowing, Onward through life he goes, Each morning sees some task begun, Each evening sees it close. Something attempted, something done He has earned a night's repose. i So the old chestnut tree, Shelters a group, three time three. They have helped us, one and all, In our problems, great and small. We extend to them our songs of praise, May they see many more happy days. 12 D. D. F., '25 . LN Zta' X L, 7 .3 V ,V '5'Ag'P'. 'W Ky. ,X , if KQXX 1 I Y' M. I fsla it in ' Q X , 12 U N. X.

Law is my aspiration g I have no other 18 THE CARDINAL Senior Class History In 1921 thirty-two pupils labeled Freshmen entered Erie High School, resolved to fight or perish in the attempt to capture that fort called higher education. But we are sorry to say that during the first two years, seven persons deciding the fight not worth while, dropped out of school, one by one. During the second year, however, three new people enrolled, but two of these removed to another school and the third did not return to graduate, thus we are a class of twenty-five gradu- ating in 1925. Can you associate the picture of the awed, bedazzled group of longhaired girls and knicker-bockered boys, who entered High back in 1921, with that of the dignified class of bobbed haired ladies and long-trousered gentlemen who will receive their diplomas in June? The most memorable occasion of our term as greenies was the Initiation Party given us by the Sophs, in which we were duly shown our places. Numerous other parties of lesser importance took place in succession during that year. But the year was not exclusively a round of pleasures. We worked very hard on our subjects, completely petrified by thoughts of our first semester exams. One instance of that year I particularly remember: all Freshmen thought it their duty to whisper once or twice each period, which feat they performed regularly until it was abolished by the faculty. The next two years passed by with lightning rapidity. During our Sophomore year we initiated the Freshmen so that they have'been able to tag one lap behind us these last three years. We also built Caeser's bridge, but thc high water was too much for this structure of amateurs, and it is no more. In our Junior year the most notable event was the Junior-Senior Banquet, which under capable management, was permitted to be classed as a success. During our stay in High School, our class has contributed to the various departments of school activities to the best of its ability. In the Music Depart- ment we have helped to put on operettas and programs, and have aided in the organization of an orchestra. Sports, also, have been advanced by the '25 class. For the past two years our class has furnished the greatest number of men on the Basket-ball team, which has won many games to the honor of the school. The girls also have had a team for two years and have lassoed many games. In scholastic standing we rank, on the whole, very well. In special branches, especially in commercial work, we have gained honors. Pins and other trophies have been awarded to our shorthand and typing classes. Now as our last year in school ends, we are preparing to be banqueted, preached to, congratulated, and sent on in the world to win such honors as we may capture along with a niche on the shelf of civilization. ' -Jean Allen. 19 THE CARDINAL Class Will Ladies and Gentlemen, having been asked to serve as chief executor of the last will and testament of the Class of 1925, of the Erie Community High School, I have called you together upon this solemn occasion to listen, and to accept the gifts we have to bestow. We have tried to be fair and just, and hope that the fruits of our efforts will be dutifully accepted and efficiently put to use. We leave to the members of our dear faculty, all our past failings and deep- rooted affection, to be stored away as the most precious of treasures. To our dear old High we leave all the honors we have won. We also leave to the future annuals, room for the cut of a new schoolhouse. Upon the Junior Class we bestow our dignity, intelligence, and our extreme popularity. To the Sophomores we donate larger containers for their swelling brains, as well as our good standing with the teachers. To the Freshmen we leave our empty ink bottles, stub pencils, and discarded fountain pens. And now a few gifts remain to be turned over as personal keep-sakes. We hope that their value, trifling as it may seem, will be fully appreciated. First: Robert LaRue leaves to Kenneth James his great wisdom and excellent conduct. Second: To Austin McMahon, Suart Blean bequeaths his popularity with the girls, and hopes that Austin will take advantage of this golden opportunity. Third: Harold Pierson leaves his athletic abilities to William Hudson. Fourth: Ruth James resigns her position as yell leader to Arnold Hayen. Fifth: Pauline Lawrence leaves a few spare pounds to Esther Keisel. Sixth: Robert Pfundstein designates his extra credits to Dale Arnett's record sheet, and appoints Doran Fadden as guardian over Ruby Turner. Seventh: Alberta Turner entrusts Howard Barkman to Helen Adams. Eighth: Lyla Doll wishes her vocal accomplishments upon Hazel Weber. Ninth: Myrtle Hadaway leaves her sweet disposition to Guinevere McNeill, Tenth: Hugh Perkins passes on to Arden Reisenbigler a cure for smoking along with a package of cigarettes. Eleventh: To future class presidents Lysle Echelbarger leaves his presi- dential success. Twelfth: Ada Slaymaker bequeaths her cuds of gum to Thelma Adams. 20 THE CARDINAL - Thirteenth: Nettie Dobers submits her incurable Tee Hee's, to moderate Howard Riordon's obstreperous Haw Haw's. Fourteenth: Dorothea Finnicum leaves her drawing pencils to Effie Graham, and her matronly poise to Ruth Slaymaker. Fifteenth: Harland Bleitz leaves his butler costume to Russell Skaggs with the hope that the latter will find it a perfect fit. Sixteenth: Lucy Mahlstedt bequeaths her staid outer bearing to Marjorie Schryver, and her rippling inner self to Robert Wheelock. Seventeenth: Lucille Kelley leaves her Irishness and her preference of ruly horses to willful Fords, to Audrey Bleitz. Eighteenth: Grace Matson shoves off her Thcodoric desires to be grown-up to Do1'othy Skaggs. Nineteenth: Mary Hudson's breathless interrogations are left behind to be perfected by her young brother, William. Twentieth: Margaret Finnicum leaves her average of 97-to the school as a reminder of the class of '25. Twenty-first: Jean Allen will, upon application, return to teach Ardath Ryan how to blush. Twenty-second: Olive Greth and Gwendolyn Kellogg join forces and leave to Lenore Terry, a packet of faded love-letters, several well-worn vanity cases, and a pair of broken hearts. Twenty-third: Everett Housenga, the sheik, surrenders his hypnotic powers to John Forth. Twenty-fourth: Marcia Lodge wills her mountain-maiden innocencen to Marguerite Bacon. All remaining property will go toward paying our funeral expenses. Thus, we the Senior Class of the Eric Community High School, do set Olll' hands and seal this last will and testament on the eighth day of April in the year nineteen-hundred twenty-five. HARLAND BLEITZ. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the said Senior Class, as and for their last will and testament, in the presence of us, who, at their request, in their presence, and in the presence of each other, have hereunto subscribed our names as attesting witnesses to said instrument. PHILLIP ROOS MYRTLE ADAMS 21 THE CARDINAL Class Prophecy One day, as I strolled aimlessly down the street, I came upon a group of children vigorously blowing soap bubbles. Inasmuch as I had particularly enjoyed this childish sport in the days of my youth, I asked them if I might try my luck at it. They promptly granted the request and scurried off to play another game, leaving me to reminiscences. Hastily I withdrew my apparatus to a more obscure, shady spot. Lazily blowing huge, vari-colored bubbles, I fell to musing on my old playmates who had long ago blown soap bubbles with me, and on those who had finally finished high school 'way back in '25, As I became very much enraptured in my dreamy sport, my eyes opened in astonishment, for there in the very center of a particularly large bubble, I fancied I could see Nettie Dobers as a missionary in China. The next bubble was slow in forming, but through all the difficult stages of its development, I could catch a glimpse of Mary Hudson. First, she was studying painstakingly to be a nurse, but her courage broke at the sight of the suffering of her first patient, a man with soulful eyes and ruby red lips, whom she straight- way married. Soon I witnessed Lysle Echelbarger as a radical old scientist over in Egypt, hunting specimens of prehistoric animals and dinosaur eggs. A little bubble formed right off the side of this one and in it, I spied Robert LaRue as a preacher in Springhill. ' The next few bubbles passed smoothly off. In the first one, I saw Ruth James married to a soldier and joined to the band of camp-followers. In another, I viewed Dorothea Finnicum as a decided old maid, but I could see her occasionally indulge in a mild love affair-usually with a traveling Evangelist. Then Olive Greth debutantely slouched before me as a regular flirt. She had been married three times, but her last husband had red hair! Next Pauline Lawrence appeared as a dainty toe-dancer in Chambersburg, Illinois. Then came Harland Bleitz as a doctor, and Everett Housenga as an undertaker. They had formed a part- nership and were doing a Very prosperous business. Another retinue followed closely. As I curiously watched an exceedingly large globule prepare to burst, I discovered Jean Allen, an eminent lawyer in Den- rock. Marcia Lodge tripped mincingly through the following one as an old maid touring the country, giving free lectures on The Evils of Dancing. The subse- quent picture surely surprised me, for it revealed Alberta Turner as a policewoman in New York! Ada Slaymaker, who had been elected to the National Congress was so puffed up that her bubble could scarcely contain her. In rapid succession came a particularly light formation in which, as it floated off into space, I viewed an expert monkey trainer. Who could it be? Why none other than Robert Pfundstein! Immediately thereafter I perceived Harold Pierson, an eccentric poet, in desperation running his gaunt fingers through his long tresses, for want of inspiration. The next creation almost popped out loud when it burst. There was Lucille Kelly complacently whizzing an elevator up and down the dizzy 22 THE CARDINAL heights of the Woolworth building! Stuart Blean's Visage followed closely. He was shoveling coal on the Springhill Limited. Then came another curious circus character-Margaret Finnicum as a daring tight rope walker. After that, bubbles of almost uniform size followed each other at regular intervals. First came Myrtle Hadaway, a noted poet of Philosophy, then Lyla Doll, a sensational aviatrix, and lastly, Hugh Perkins, a model in a Parisian fashion show. He lavishly displayed the sloppy sock fad, among many others equally as becoming and ridiculous. Then appeared an especially bright colored bubble picturing Grace Matson, who, having been bitterly disappointed in love by a proposal in three hundred lines of lumbering prose instead of the romantic, down-on-your-knee, verbal type, had gone into settlement work. A curious bubble now formed and its contents were equally singular. Right in the very center of it stood a prim, old-maid school-teacher. Darkly did she scowl over the spectacles poised far down on her wrinkled nose. Quite in harmony with the antiquity of her garb, her hair was combed tightly into a cupola on the top of her head. A terrific whang of the birch rod in her scrawny hand snapped open the cover of a book on the table before her. What name is this I dimly decipher there on the fly-leaf? G-w-e-n-, why Gwendolyn Kellogg, of course! Mercy what a transformation! Just then the children returned with a bound and I was rudely jarred back to my senses by one little urchin's yelling out, Hey, Missus! Aint'ja never gonna git through blowin' bubbles? -Lucy M ahlstedt. 23 mum- .5 .ml me-'E Qi E Rgdmsim V ESE EO EW em Sami-EO NACOAEERE WC Eagan :Niggaz am'-E -E GEWEWP-AH :OaB0md?- M5003 d wg OH E306 2:2 Cp :Ogg-4 W-SOCEOW :PEZ EFEDO OH SHED 3 z:ECmmm:,H 2? m-H820 seam ASU-EEO :O Egmmmmq widen M5 OH :EE EW M3 OH 95521 use ggagw Mig-H N an QF azgngm: yNEO0E0m ME OH FERNE aa OH E18 Seem SEA :gag Boi-m d EEE ,HSS 2702 M-HOCFEWHE Rza:-Um A: HQQHOQ :Eagan PNSODQEOW :Ommum mags 41 E552 N M5 OH 55351 -M5503 mined?

We constituted a group of thirty-eight frightened youngsters, seeking solaee in each other in the corridors which offered little shelter from the penetrating glances of the dreaded upper classmen. But after all, the fates treated us kindly and by sundown, with the assistance of the venerable Sophomores who led us airily to our respective stations, we had ac- complished our first great feat to be recorded in the annals of the class. The first rung of the ladder was behind us, for were we not authorized Freshmen of the Erie Community High School? And best of all, no casualties up to date! The gala event of our Sophomore year was the Freshman Initiation. We gave the embarrassed youngsters a merry chase-incidentally treating ourselves to a rip-snortin good time. The savor of this party tided us through the sub- sequent routine of Sophomore requirements, until at length, we were stationed, high and dry, on the second stoop of our- increasingly difHcult climb. Now, if you please, we are looked up to, and down upon, by respective classes as the flighty Juniors, but perhaps someday, not so remote, unless the Adventists' distressing rumor concerning the end of the world be suddenly fulfilled, we shall be mighty and sedate Seniors. Two red-letter days dog-ear the calendar of our Juniorism, the class play, The Farmerette, and the Junior-Senior Prom. With such a record of unmarred bliss behind us, we are about to attempt the ascension of the topmost round of our miniature ladder. -Dorothy Irene Snyder. 27 THE CARDINAL Does The World Know That+- Dale Arnett thinks the square is a race track?

We, the class of '27, enjoy the distinction of having been Erie Community High's preponderantly largest class of Freshmen, having numbered thirty-nine. Although four have left our ranks, three new names have reinforced the roll-call. A truly heterogeneous mass, too, we were on the memorable day of our entry, tall, slender ones, small, slim ones, and short, chubby ones, along with red heads galore, tow heads, and dark heads. Among us, also, were meek, little mortals 5 as well as some quite saucy ones, who, despite their' tender years and precarious positions, defied the upper class-men to harm them. For example, Austin McMahon and Roy Eddy clung pertinaciously to their Mama's apron strings until they simply had to break loose to enter the portals of our present haven-of refuge or despair Cwhich shall I say?J whereas Marjorie Schryver, on the very first day when fear was written with capital letters on the hearts of most of us, chewed gum juBt as loudly, and whisked about almost as boldly as she does today. During that first troublous season of insubordination, we secretly comforted ourselves with the thought that green means growing. Some day we'd show the world who's who in America, as well as in Erie High. Our Sophomore year has been a triumph. We safely transported the Freshmen through the perils of Initiation, disturbed the peace of the village one frosty winter's night by an uproarious Bob-sled party and disposed of several of the town's un- licensed dogs at a Weiner Roast on a rare, balmy evening in April, contributed a generous quota of boys and girls to Basketball, and incidentally managed to tuck away in dusty pigeon-holes a few stray facts from our course of study. And two crowning years yet to come! - Helen Adams. 31 THE CARDINAL If If Helen Adams could not play, This old wide world would fade away. If Arden Reisenbigler stopped chewing gum, The end of the world would truly come. If Thelma and Audrey would curl their hair, It certainly would be an exciting affair. If Albert Jensen no questions would ask, We'd cover the lesson a bit too fast. If Burneille Olinger doesn't henna her hair, I'll eat my hat-you can put 'er there. lf Austin McMahon were not so shy, He might become popular-by 'n by. If Effie Graham would come down to earth, In the faculty heads thereld be much mirth. If Curtis and Leo wouldn't whisper so much, Their deportment would be better-Mrs. Rodler If Edythe and Ruth were only tall, Two stately Sophies would grace our hall. If Buel's many freckles were a little more brown, You'd think Wesley Barry had come into town. If Genevieve hopes in Grand Opera to sing, She must cut Hillsdale off the string. If Kenneth James didn't have so much fun, The end of his troubles would have begun. If Hazel Weber once ceased to grin, An ivory stew-pan she'd surely win. If Howard Riordon were not such a tease, The rest of the school would be at ease. If Kathryn Ferguson dyed her locks, T The boys would 'round her gather in flocks. If Lyle Young would practice German a bit, As an actor surely he'd make a hit. If Leola Allen would not be late, She'd have to travel at a faster gait. If Robert Wheelock ceased combing his curls, He'd not be in step with all the girls. If Lenore Terry were once out of style, Not a thing in this life would be worth while. If Roy Eddy suddenly a girl should get, It'd be an event we'd never forget. 32 says such THE CARDINAL If Roland Seger didnlt study so much, He surely would be getting in Dutchf' If Marj'rie Bonnell would fail to smile, Weld not forget it for quite a while. lf Roland's hair were not so red, We wouldn't be able to see his head. If Marjorie Schryver's blabber would cease, The High School really would have some peace. If Dean were not a peroxide blonde, Of him the girls would be more fond. If Ruth Stoudt wishes on mince pie to feed, The cooking class could not meet the need. If Arnold Hayen's tooth wouldn't ache. As our yell-leader, he-'d take the cake. If Vada's eyes were not so big, She might look well in a powdered wig. If Lilah Taber would cease to flirt, So many hearts would not be hurt. If William would lengthen his abbreviated pants, Then with the girls he'd have a chance. If Ruby Turner would lose her Bob, Her mother surely would have some job. If Iona Turner would powder her nose, White daubs might come off on somebody's clothes. If Vivian Lovejoy's specs were gone, The whole world's vista would be wrong. -V.

When gathered together in the Assembly, they numbered twenty-nine in all. During the following months, however, two mem- bers of the flock were lost, leaving a remaining twenty-seven. The first two weeks were times of depressing confusion for the nestliiigs. This was evideneed by their gaping mouths when the teachers tried to aecustom them to the heavy food which they were forced to swallow. One bright day they timidly assembled and elected the following officers to guide and plan for the welfare of their fellow mates: Kathleen Laliue, presidentg Charles Brown, viee president 5 Allen Pratt, treasurerg Robert Fuller, secretary. Then came the Initiation. After this formal affair, the young ones settled down, trying to carry on their simple duties more seriously. The return party, a few weeks later, demonstrated to the upper classmen the latent ability of the Hedgelings entertainers. The first semester exams almost swept the whole flock from their perches, but after the storm had subsided, they discovered that all that was needed, was a little more eoncentrated study. During the eourse of this year of probation, the nestlings found that basket- ball, tennis, and field practice suffieed as prescriptions for strengthening their feeble wings and envigorating their frail minds and bodies, in preparation for the ordeal of the Sophomore year. -Gladys Dennis. 37 THE CARDINAL Bug House Fables Harold Senkel, a very wealthy, eccentric, old gentleman, willed to the Poor Farm, a million dollars and his dearly cherished wheelbarrow, in which he was prone to ca rt around an unabridged dictionary. ,Esther Primmer, queen of the movie stars, went to Europe to star in The End Of a Perfect Jay.

But no wonder, for Miss Prim was exactly the kind of a teacher to be scorned by the modern girl A very decided old maid of questionable years, she combed her hair from her face, into a huge knot on the top of her head, thus exaggerating her already unusual height. She wouldn't have her hair bobbed. Mercy no! She considered that style of coiffure very unladylike, in fact even vulgar, and as for a shingle, she almost had fits whenever anyone mentioned the word! Far down on her wrinkled nose was poised a pair of antique, gold-rimmed spectacles, over which she peered with a dreadful scowl. One threatening look from her was enough instantly to check any or all giggles in the classroom. Her long skirt daily swept clean the floor Cshe considered short lengths perfectly abominablej. Such was the mode of dress upon which she placed her stamp of approval and to which she unsuccess- fully tried to make her pupils conform. But her despotic rule could not last forever. One day, Martha Washington Jones, the little negress of the institution, brought a mouse into the Assembly and turned it loose. All of the girls, though terribly frightened for the moment, considered the event a huge joke, but not so Miss Prim! She expelled poor Martha that very same day. It was up to the girls, therefore, to get busy. Some scheme simply had to be devised to get revenge, but what could it be? They thought of every conceivable plan, and some inconceivable ones, as well, but none was practical. Finally Patsy hit upon a bright idea. Why not marry her to somebody? This was considered an excellent suggestion until the question arose, To whom shall we marry her? Surely nobody could tolerate her for a life-time! But immediately all heads fell to pondering over who the unfortunate victim should be. Vera timidly hinted that it be Patsy's bachelor uncle, but Patsy promptly declared that she didn't care to add such a specimen to her family museum. At last Jane brilliantly thought of the new minister who had just come to town. It was true that he was young, but he was very, very polite, and he might do it for manner's sake alone. The next day after school, Patsy and Jane cautiously slipped away to inter- view the minister. They frankly stated the cause of their visit and demanded an immediate answer. The minister was very surprised and embarrassed, but he managed to say, I-er-ah-um-I must say, -er-this is a very strange case, but- ah-I might come up and-er-meet her tomorrow after school. True to his word, the minister came on the following day. Patsy and Jane took him in to introduce him, but Miss Prim gave him one of her formidable frowns over the top of her glasses, saying sternly, Sir, what are you doing here? Don't you know men aren't allowed at this school?,' The poor preacher, instantly forgetting all his politeness and dignity, took French leave, retreating down the road under the friendly cover of a cloud of dust. Without a doubt he would have made a world champion runner could he but have had similar inspiration at each of his races. To say the least, the girls were out of luck again. They must select another 42 THE CARDINAL victim. This time they decided upon the soher old undertaker, but postponed the date of his appearance for about a week so that Miss Prim would have a chance to recover from the shock of having had a man VlSlt l1er respectahle school. On the appointed day, the dignified undertaker, dressed in his Sunday best, arrived extremely self-conscious and uneasy. After having adjusted his necktie at least ten times and having received full instructions as to how to conduct his campaign, he was ushered into the presence of the honorable teacher. The first sight of her was enough, all his painful preparations were for naught. To the astonishment and utter despair of the conspirators, he meekly said, I-I came to see if I could borrow a hook of psychology fro111 you, er-Miss Prim. In a hideous mire hut not yet fully dismayed, tl1e plotters concluded to try just once more. This time they planned to use the fat old Deacon Scruggins for Prince Charming. By some mysterious process, however, he seemed to have sensed their plan and continually evaded them. In the meantime, miraculously enough, Miss Prim was actually becoming a little hit human. A good-natured smile gradually displaced the accustomed scowl. Even her mode of dress was rapidly improved upon, as her laughable riggins were exchanged for hrand new togs that were really pretty. Each day she would sport something different. The girls were just becoming used to these daily shocks when, one morning, she came into the class 1'oon1 with her hair hobhed and marcclledl At least six of the girls fainted. Patsy, however, was too much overcome with open-mouthed amazement to bc surprised into unconsciousness. But even she fell victim to the shock one week later. Miss Prim had eloped with Deacon Serugginsl -11. Ill. ,261 43 THE CARDINAL The Haunted Mill On the outskirts of a little village in New Hampshire, stood an old mill which had been in existence many decades. It was now almost a pile of ruins, the water wheel had rotted away, and the building itself was rickety and tottering. But one thing about this decrepit structure distinguished it from any other old mill, namely it was said to be haunted! For many years, the mill had been looked upon with awe and respect by people far and near. No one feared it in the day time, but at night, all would start with apprehension ,if anyone as much as even mentioned it. ' A' ' 1 'Z' fl I It grew to be a favorite pastime for the villagers to dare each other to explore the mill at night. Occasionally, a few would -offfreiiii 'up courage enough to start out ,but no sooner would they arrive in sight of the haunted place, than they would experience shivers creeping up and down their spines, and retreat posthaste in grand riot. For months thereafter, they would terrify all with blood-curdling tales of what they had seen and heard-the clanking of chains, the flashing of coiored lights, the running to and fro of gh-as-t-l-y apparitions. One group main- tained that it had approached the mill closely enough actually to hear distinctly the most uncanny groans. Thus, as people grew more and more alarmed, there was much talk of tearing down this fear-inspiring rendezvous of the spirits. Finally, two fun-loving boys, who were at all times ready to take a dare, volunteered to explore the mill some night, if a few others would go with themfta- assist in capturing the spegtreg yvere any such discoveredg Ashamed to refuse, many consented to jointhe venture, and after much wrangling, the date was definitely set. Starting out on a fine evening, the party arrived at their destination quickly, the brightness of the moon aiding them in picking their way between the numerous trees and shrubs in the vicinity of the mill. Already some of the adventurers had quite audibly begun to quake, and all would just as soon have been-going in the opposite direction, but since each wished to show the other fellow how brave he was, no one turned back. Upon arriving in the first room of the building, the leaders declared that anyone who wished to return, should do so now, so as not add to the terrors of the rest by displaying fear. About two-thirds of the company instantly set out for town at no snail's pace. The rest began to pick their way over the rotten floors in the building to the room in which the ghosts were reputed particularly to reside. Stopping every few minutes to listen, they made but little progress. No one was desirous of making better time, however. The nearer they approached t e dreaded room, the slower progress they made. All at once, a most o I o 'sound was heard. A shrieking groan probably best describes it. The whole party, with the ex- ception of the two boys, made a blind charge forthe exits. Hurrying, scrambling, pushing, shoving, they made noise enough to awaken the ghosts of all the dead. Nor did they stop, even for breath, until they reached the village. However, the two boys stood their ground, determined to the origin of the noises and sights that had dismayed people for years. For the instant no more dis- turbances were heard. Thus, tip-toeing cautiously, they progressed to the very doorway of the room. It is impossible to describe the courage it demanded of 44 THE CARDINAL our adventurers to make the final plunge which was to solve the mystery that had frightened people for so long. Just outside a window of the room, stood a gnarled tree which rocked back and forth with the slightest breeze. The moonlight, striking the tree, east on the opposite wall of the room, a grotesque shadow resembling a human form, whieh stalked nervously back and forth with each movement of the tree, whereas the dancing moonbeams playing amid the swaying branches, threw upon the floor and wall, fantastic illusions of terrifying figures. An unnerving sereech followed bv mysterious swishes as of the rustling of robes, unmanned--t-hefii J 41 boys: An instant later, however, they realized that a sudden gtmt of wind l1aclxLg,..e caused the stiffer limbs to grate along thekrough sideboar , a d I e leafier branches to brush lightly by.

Suddenly the tension of the boys snapped, and simultaneously they burst into loud laughter. Composing themselves, they lost no time in returning to relate to the nerve-racked the story of the now unhaunted mill. Naturally our heroes were not believed at Hrst, and many of the villagers had to be shown more than once before they would accept the explanation. In this way, the cnig-1-nanfff of the haunted mill came to be a mystery of days gone by. -Robert Pfundstein. 45 THD CARDINAL A Midnight Alarm Max, the hero of my story, is a Civil War veteran, who was awarded a medal for his unusual bravery during that conflict. This is how it came about that he received the distinction. On a dark and rainy night in the spring of f62, he was ordered on guard duty. Poor Max heartily dreaded this assignment at all times, and especially so, on a dreary night such as this. However, at the specified hour, he threw his musket resolutely over his shoulder, and marched off to his post. No more had he started, than he heard an unfamiliar rustle in the underbrush. He covertly drew his coat collar closer in an attempt to silence his chattering teeth. Every stir that his widely alert ears now detected, he thought came from a lurking spy who was creeping upon him. At these thoughts, his blood turned cold. To add to his alarm, an owl began its eerie hooting in a distant tree. P Then followed hours of merciless terror and suspense, for it was not until midnight that his expectations were fulfilled. Suddenly, the uncanny silence of the night was broken again by a distinct rustling in the bushes nearby. Tremb- ling with fear, he threw his gun to his shoulder and Cin a very thin voicel called out, 'Halt! The noise stopped for a short while, then suddenly began again, this time more closely at hand. Max uttered a second Halt, more feeble than the first. As before. sounds ceased for a moment, only to begin once more, a moment later. That spy will kill me if I don't shoot first, he thought, as in desperation he closed his eyes and weakly pulled the trigger upon which his finger nervously rested. Max was grossly startled by the report of his own gun. The next instant he heard a groan, and something fell heavily in the bushes. Picking up his lantern, he started with much reluctance and alarm to identify the spy. Other soldiers came rushing up to ascertain the cause of the shot. What they saw was Max holding a lantern high above his head, and staring, white-faced and with mouth agape, clown upon his victim, a poor old mule that had been turned into the pasture to roam during the night. Needless to say, the medal which Max received from his comrades for his bravery was a brass one. -Nettie Dobers. A LITERARY GEM Mrs. Rodler wanted the Seniors to use their vocabulary words in sentences. Look at Lucy's version! I pfrognosticated that Paul Kratzer's integrity was not to be trusted, as I have a feeling of antipathy for him. So being instigated by Fate, I went to the Assembly. There I found him with my Diary. He was aware of the imminent danger, because of the heinous crime he had committed, and a spontaneous thought as to a manner of escape rushed into his mind. By that time I was in a vindictive mood. I made an impetuous attack, upon him, after which I gave him a grandiloquent speech, which he reciprocated. At length, the fateful archive was returned to its rightful owner. 46 F457 0016 W 47 f Q W?

Kratzer, Top Ro THE CARDINAL Music Department The Music Course of our school is in truth, as fully and systematically de- veloped as any other in our curriculum. The High School Orchestra was reorganized at the beginning of this year with eleven members. The efforts of the group have been untiring and the results are certainly commendable. Music was furnished by the Orchestra for both the Junior and Senior class plays, and for several other school affairs. The Orchestra has willingly responded whenever it has been called upon. Another phase of the Music Department is the choral work. This year, due to the large number of pupils interested, there have been several divisions, each meeting two periods weekly. The four choruses consist respectively of Senior and Junior girls, the Sophomore girls, the Freshman girls, and the boys. The Boys' Double Quartet, another unit, has had a very successful season, much having been accomplished in a public way. The boys have appeared in the High School Assembly at different times, at the Woman's Club Annual Re- ception, and at the two class plays, CJunior and Seniorj as well as at other school and civic functions. Unfortunately this group will lose most of its members this year, as all but two of the boys are Seniors. The members of these organizations and the public, which has enjoyed their music, are highly grateful to Miss Adams, whose diligent efforts and efficient training have made for the success of each group.

Rob is stolen when an infant, by his nurse, Meg, who later becomes the wife of Marto, a gypsy. Rob grows to manhood among the gypsies, believing Meg and Marto to be his parents. It happens that one day, while riding with her fiance, Lord Craven, Lady Constance Mar- tendale becomes lost in the woods. They wander to the Gypsy camp where Constance and Rob meet and fall in love at first sight. Craven objects to Rob's attitude, but in a very funn comedy scene with Marto and Sinfo, he is made to tell Sir George, who later comes in searcli of Constance, that Rob is a charming fellow. Later Rob goes to the home of Constance and serenades her. They plan to elope, but are overheard by Craven who informs Sir George, and lans are made to capture Rob. This is 'successfully accomplished. Rob is thrown into prison, but later escapes. Two years elapse and Rob has come into his estate, his identity having been proved by Meg. He becomes a successful composer, a friend of the Prince, and a social lion. Constance has remained true to her love for Rob, and on his return to England, he woos and wins her for his wife. As Rob says, The good fairies have led me to the beautiful country after all, and our story, Constance, can end in the proper way, 'They lived happily ever after'. There are also pretty love affairs between Nina and Captain Jerome, and Zara and Sinfo, and many comedy scenes by Sinfo and Marto. 51 THE CARDINAL Lyceum Course Under the auspices of the Senior Class, a Lyceum Course was presented to raise money for the Annual. It consisted of four numbers. The first of these given October 31, by Mr. Seymour, a magician and wizard, who pre- sented a novel and amusing program of sleight-of-hand performances. The second number was staged January 9, by the Delaware Due. Their repertoire con- sisted of Indian music and attractive readings. One member was an exceptional violinist. The third number on February 2, featured Frank Coad, a versatile reader, who won the wholehearted applause of his audience first, by a few short, humorous selections and lastly, by an excellent rendition of t'The Music Master. The last number, which proved to be the best, was presented March 28, by the 't0ld Kentucky Jubileefl The Quartet offered a delightfully varied program of plantation melodies, camp- meeting songs, solos, banjo and slide trombone selections. As a whole, although the attendance at no single performance was astoundingly large, the pupils of the school and the community in general derived much enjoyment from the Course. 52 -y THE CARDINAL Latest Song Hits Mr. Robertson-- A Perfect Dayu Howard Riorden- Lazy Harland Bleitz-'tYou Tell Her, I Stutterl' Nettie Dolmers- Jimmy Gee!

Dame Fortune was with the boys at the start, for they knocked the lid off the season by wiping off Fulton with a score of 13 to 8. Following this, five consecutive games were won. The Squad met its first defeat at Sterling, by an exasperatingly close score of 19 to 20. However, when Sterling came to Erie for the return game, the home boys turned the tables by drubbing them, 16 to 8. Port Byron was the only team which succeeded in defeating Erie on the home floor. During the entire season, the boys displayed a fine fighting spirit and good sportsmanship throughout. Much credit for the success of the season is attributed to the loyal support given the Squad by the people of Erie who faithfully attended the games and cheered their team despite occasional adversity. COACH Although Coach DiVall has been with us only ashort time, he has won a place in the hearts of the teachers and students by his cheery disposition, even temperament, and sense of fairness. He deserves much credit for his efforts to inculcate the spirit of clean sportmanshi which is so essential in athletics. The .Basketball team has been very successful under his direction this year, and the Track team IS making excellent progress. It is diflicult to overestimate the influence o a capable coach with students. He is usually their ideal. W hat he is, they will strive to be. If he is the type of man who can lead a young group through the sloughs of youth and direct them toward the proper goal, he is, indeed, a most valuable asset to a community. Such a Coach we believe our high school has in Mr. DiVall. ROBERT LaliUE CCaptainJ in 7 Doc, playing center for the team, served a splendid season. He was a conscientious, hard worker, who aided materially in many of Erie's victories. His ability to jump made him an invaluable center, for his :ren could invariably de end upon him for the tip-off. This is Docs last year, but his never-give-up fighting spirit has been imbued in the squad of next year by his fine. example. LYSLE ECHELBARGER Clforwardj Ech was one of the fastest men on the team. He continually kept his guard on the go, and no matter how good the latter was, Ech scored his share of points. His generally good floor work coupled with his ability to break up passes, many times gained possession of the ball for his team. Ech, too, is a Senior, and with Doc will be sadly missed next year. KENNETH JAMES Clforwardj Bill was high point man on the team. In spite of his size, he covered the floor rapidly, and was equally good on the defense and the offense. His ability to shoot baskets made him a valuable man, for he would persistently be relied upon to cage his share of baskets. Upon his return next year, Bill will undoubtedly furnish the nucleus of the new squad. STUART BLEAN CGuardD Q Stu, always on the alert, was a very fast man who broke up a great many of the opponents' plays. Without fail, he uarded his man closely, and although he was the smallest man on the team, he was not once tie least hit intimidated by the largest of his opponents. Stu leaves the ranks minus a mighty good defensive worker. .61 THE CARDINAL EVERETT HOUSENGA CGuardD Lanky was perpetually ready for the worst of them, for being of almost gigantic build, he has never met his match. The opponents got very few rebound shots when Lanky was playing guard, for he was an expert at picking the ball off the bounding board and getting it started toward his own goal. He, also, is a Senior whose non-return will put another kink in the squad. HOWARD YOUNG CGuardj Hod played a good game at standing guard, especially during the first of the season. Later he was handicapped by sickness, after which it was difficult for him to come back full of pep. Without a doubt, Hod will be a substantial asset to the team next year. ANTON WILLIAMSON CForwardJ I Tony was a fast offense man, with a good eye for the basket, as was demonstrated by his action in the games in which he took part. Much can be expected of Tony next season 3 in fact, it is safe to say that he will be one of the foremost men of the squad. CURTIS MILLER fForwardJ Curt is small, but his speed makes up for his lack of size. Inasmuch as he has a very fine eye for the basket, it is inevitable that he will do his share of scoring next year. HOWARD RIORDON CGuardJ Fat had but little chance this year. However, he will be back for two more seasons and should make a good man. LYLE YOUNG CGuardJ Young was another sub who was given little opportunity, but he also will back next fall, at which time he will, no doubt, come to his own.

Under the direction of Miss Anderson, the Domestic Science girls elaborately decorated the room and table in cardinal and white, and served faultlessly a delicious four-course dinner. Later in the evening Coach DiVall presented to each of the boys a large Cardinal and White E, along with rippling measures of friendly advice. Tracke 41925 As for Track work, Erie High is literally in the very stages of infancy, for hitherto, this has been a latent possibility in the school. However, when eagerness to participate was demonstrated by the boys, the needed apparatus was instantly secured, such as a javelin, a discus, and a shot. The Manual Training boys re- paired the jumping standards, dug the jumping pit, hauled sawdust wherewith to fill it, and measured off the track. When these preliminaries were completed, training was begun in earnest. The boys improved rapidly and some of them are now making very good records, which they hope to improve upon by the end of the season. Up to date, but one meet has been attended at which very satisfactory records were established as follows: Javelin, Housenga, 147 ft. 7 in., H. Young, 137 ft. 6 in., Shot, Housenga, 32 ft. 6 in., LaRue, 31 ft. 4 in., High Jump, LaRue, 4 ft. 11 in., H. Young, 4 ft. 8 in., Broad Jump, LaRue, 18 ft. 10 in., Discus, H. Young, 84 ft. 10 in., Housenga, 76 ft. 8 in., 50 yd. Dash, Arnett, 5 4-5 seconds, 100 yd. Dash, LaRue, 11 1-10 seconds. The Squad goes to Sterling, May 9, for which event the boys are rounding into fine shape with the hope of capturing several first honors. NW THE CARDINAL Girls' Basketball Season The girls of Erie High started the basketball season at a brisk pace under the competent supervision of Miss Anderson and Miss Thomsen. Three teams responded at the first practice, one from the Senior class, one from the Junior class, and one from the Sophomore and Freshmen classes combined. The Faculty also organized a team which offered much opposition to the class teams. Several interesting games were played between these teams, as well as a game with Hills- dale. The Games The Senior girls won the first game of the season when they defeated the Juniors in a hard-fought game on December 4. At the beginning of the game the Seniors took the lead in the score, but as the Juniors were only one jump behind them, the game was exciting from start to finish. When the final whistle blew, the score was: Seniors 9, Juniors 4. The next battle was waged between the Juniors and the Freshmen. In spite of their stage fright, the Freshmen played an exceptionally good game. But the Juniors, having practiced up on the Seniors, defeated them with a score of 12 to 8. The Seniors and Juniors played a game which ended in a tie score C12 to 125 on January 9. Both teams had exerted themselves to run up their score, but to no avail. They started to play off the tie, but upon the injury of one of the players, the game was closed with no change of the score. The Seniors met with a crushing defeat at the hands of the Faculty on January 22, the score being 19 to 7 in favor of the Faculty. The score was 4 to 5 at the end of the first half, but the Seniors were not able to hold the Faculty after the latter were once warmed up for action. On January 30, the Junior girls defeated the Hillsdale Independent team with a score of 13 to 4. The Juniors had improved so extensively with each game they played, that they now overwhelmed Hillsdale with apparent ease. On February 27 came the final clash between the Juniors and Seniors. Each team went on the floor, confident of victory. Both did their level best, but the Seniors again came out the victors with a score of 11 to 9. P . 65 THE CARDINAL 66 Q.

R WI- Bottom Ro THE CARDINAL The Players SENIOR TEAM Ada Slaymaker-Guard Slay played a good defensive game, when she wasn't wasting her breath in ejaculations. Marcia Lodge-Guard During the game Marsh usually expostulated scathingly as to the character of the referee. Jean Allen-Center Jane left all the jangling and yelling to the rest of the gang, but believe me, in other respects she was up on her toes on the job. Ruth James-Guard This 'tPest spoiled many a good play for the opposing team by happening in at just the wrong time for the other fellow. Gwendolyn Kellogg-Running Center Gwennie saved the janitor much work by mopping up the Hoor for him. Nettie Dobers-Forward and Captain When you spy Ned bounding toward you, hang on to your teeth and eyebrows, for it's life or death-mostly the latter. Ask those who know! Lucille Kelly-Guard Kelly was an expert! She made her hands, feet, and lower jaw go Call at the same timel faster than anyone else on the team. Mary Hudson-Guard Peg retained her dignity even on the basketball floor. JUNIOR TEAM Marjorie Guthrie-Guard Guthrie might aptly be called a Basketball Fan, for she always kept her forward cooled off by waving her arms frantically in the air. Guenivere McNeil-Forward Mac was noted for her unsurpassed skill in hitting stiff-caddies on the sidelines! Blanche Miller-Center Miller, hoplessly incapable of keeping her feet out of the way, was unfortunate enough to be unable to finish the season on account of a sprained ankle. it Evelyn James-Forward and Captain '- Eddie will long be remembered for her blue shirt and fiery temper. Marjorie Muesse-Guard Maggic's forward had sufficient grounds for her utter lack of sympath in the former's incessant mourning over broken finger nails. It does take unearthly lbng, we'1l admit, to grow new ones and train 'em to exactly the proper dimensions, but neither do scratched noses heal over night! Dorothy Snyder-Running Center Curly alwa s had lots of fun all by herself chasing the ball out of bounds. Ardath Ryan-Clenter and Guard Ardie really never played hard enough to be out of wind, but she was perpetually yelling Time out or Hey, wait a minute. SOPI-IOMORE-FRESHMEN TEAM Alberta Miller-Guard Speed is a nickname which could readily be applied to Bertie for she not only covered the floor very quickly, but also broke all records of gum chewing. Leola Allen-Forward Lee preferred stepping on toes instead of on the floor. Perhaps the floor wasn't big enough! Irma Young-Center Lanky's greatest advantage over her opponent was that the allowed one step carried her half way across the center. Ruth Slaymaker-Forward and Captain Ruthie stole a ride on her guard every time that she thought that the referee wasn't looking. Beware, Ruthie, you may get arrested for this, sometime! Ruth Stoudt-Running Center Toughie had the detestable habit of holding. Don't you think it is possible that she got this habit playing with the Juniors? Kathleen LaRue-Guard Kitty is usually as prim and trim as can be, but strange to say, she did not mind being dis- hevelled by the fracas. 67 THE CARDINAL Heard On The Basketball Floor Ada Slaymaker-- Just like shooting fish.

Elizabeth Stone's debut party, September. Scene II-Same. The important day of Elizabeth Stones debut into the social world is also marked by an oft-1'epcated proposal by Rex Raymond. An extraordinary will which appears, dictates that Rodney Evans must be engaged to Elizabeth Stone by the thirty-first of December, if he wishes to receive his inheritance. Elizabeth determines to escape the exactions of society by a tlight into the mountains. Act II-Scene I-The mountains, October 8th. Scene II-Same, October 3lst. ln the mountain atmosphere of freedom and unconventionality, Betty and Rodney, under assumed names, meet and fall under the spell of the moon flowers. Rex falls in love with Peg, the mountain girl, while Tom and Teddy revel in their mischief in bringing about the attachment of Lawrence for Joyce. Alison plays the part of the snake in the Garden of Eden, creating a misunderstanding between Rodney and Betty which leads the latter quite unexpectedly to announce her engagement to Rex. Act III-Livin room of Chester Stone's residence December 31st. Sf 1 Like a good magician, Dave solves the complications of Elizabeth's engage- ment, and dispels the clouds which threaten Peg's happiness. The true prince makes his appearance when the clock strikes twelve. The play was a huge success, if one may judge from the amount of praise received from the patrons who attended. Mrs. Margaret Drummet, of Prophets- town, under whose efficient supervision the play was produced, has won the grati- tude of the class for her untiring work. 71 THE CARDINAL Junior-Senior Banquet An enchanting Japanese Spring Garden, directly transplanted from the Orient, it would seem, transformed the Odd Fellow hall into a veritable wonderland for the Junior-Senior Banquet, at which the members of the Senior Class and Faculty were regally entertained by those of the Junior Class, sponsored by Miss Alice Thomsen, on Saturday evening, March 14. The charming class colors of the Senior guests, blue and silver, furnished the basis for the decorative scheme. A myriad of intricately designed crepe lanterns of delicate blue, swayed gracefully from the ceiling of the hall, wafting an air of enchantment over all. A beautiful fan-shaped trellis loaded with spring blossoms of blue crepe gave charm to a near corner, while a snow white lattice fence ran the full length of the opposite side of the room, culminating at the farther end in a gate prettily ajar to welcome the musicians into a fairy nook. At seven o'clock a tasty dinner, supervised by Miss Dorothy Anderson, was faultlessly served in four courses by Sophomore girls, mostly of the Domestic Science Class, prettily attired in dainty white, with cunning aprons and caps of blue. Covers were laid for fifty-five at tables ingeniously arranged to represent a huge E, and decorated artistically with centerpieces of carnations and silver candlesticks, the mystic rays from which, together with the subdued lights of the arcs, cast a spell of magic over this veritable Garden of Eden. Attractive place cards, nut cups, and programs of the most fascinating shades of blue and silver were found at each cover. The following menu was served: fruit cocktail, rolls, jelly, olives, radishes, scalloped potatoes, baked ham, peas in rosettes, baked apples, demi tasse, cheese wafers, salads, garden special, angel food cake. Toasts were given as follows: Headlines, Mrs. Rodlerg Weather Report, Howard Young 5 Market, Margaret Finnicumg Editorial, Mr. Robertson, Society News, Miss Adams, Sporting News, Mr. DiVallg Advertisements, Wilma Pace g Household Hints, Miss Anderson, Want Ads, Jean Allen. Upon the completion of the toasts, the floor was cleared and Florence Campbell and Arden Reisenbigler cleverly featured Tea for Two, a chorus of No, No Nanette! after which the orchestra struck up its lively tunes, bringing all to their feet in blithesome dance. The dances followed a program as thoroughly unique as every other detail of the affair. 72 THE CARDINAL The Farmerette Junior Class Play Presented at Erie Auditorium, December 11, 1925 The Junior Class, being seriously in need of funds, decided to pad their bank account and amuse the public by staging a three act comedy entitled The Farmer- ette. After careful scrutiny of the material in the workshop, the following cast was selected: Cast of Characters Jocelyn Wellington, the little Bugologist..- ,.,,,.......cc,,c ,,c......

Hiram, a useless hired man.. . . . .... . .. . .. .... ..... . . .. ...Howard Young Synopsis ' The story is that of five orphan girls who are left with only a very poor farm on their hands. They all wish to sell it, except Elnora who, in accordance with the old family pride, wants to keep it for a home. h Farming with the aid of two lazy hired men does not prove equal to their bills. Nan, who has been working in the city, falls ill, and her income necessarily stops. Minnette refuses to send them money, and to add to their troubles, Mrs. Beckwith presents a note for three hundred dollars, which their mother had given to Mr. Beckwith. However, Nan, upon her return home, insists that she saw the money paid, but the receipt is nowhere to be found. She subsequently decides to remain on the farm to assist Jocelyn and Jane with the work. At the point where their troubles seem almost unbearable, Gracious Ann Bean, who is trying, by violent dusting, to keep the moths out of her soul, breaks an old teapot among the fragments of which is found the receipt for the three hundred dollars. The girls reach the quintessenee of their happiness when they learn that one of their sheep pastures has been selected as a site for college dor- mitories. To celebrate their good fortune, they give the biggest barn dance ever, in honor of The Farmerettef' 555555 73 THE CARDINAL The Freshman Initiation The Freshman Initiation, dreaded by all Freshmen, and eagerly anticipated by each and every Sophomore as a time of sweet revenge, was staged late in September. Hoping against hope that their lives would not leave their earthly shelters, the Freshmen were led, blindfolded, into the Auditorium, where they were heartily greeted by a vigorous handshake of oozy molasses. From that time on, there was not a moment's rest for the martyrs of the evening. Individually and in groups they were dragged through the repertoire of stunts craftily planned to bring out the particular accomplishments of the re- spective performers. The tallest and lankiest of the guests, supposedly dis- concerted by the excitement of the evening, was adorned in becoming infant attire, stretched out in an undersize baby carriage, and forced to drain the contents of a nursing bottle, filled with a make-believe soothing syrup to quiet his nerves, administered to him by a fond Ma-ma of his own class. A certain young lady asked for an onion, which she nibbled throughout the whole program, loudly weeping over the unhappy fate of her fellow-sufferers. Ridiculous relays, absurd contests, and side-splitting stunts continued to embarrass the victims. But the efforts of the latter were not to pass by wholly unrewarded, for not only by incessant, hearty applause, but also, at the conclusion of the program, by generous servings of ice cream and delicious angel-food cake did the Sophomores expresss their appreciation of the fine spirit displayed by the group. After a bit of informal dancing, the completely subdued Freshmen were given safe escort to their respective homes. H -Ruth Stouclt. RETURN PARTY It was on the evening of November 24, 1924, that the eager Sophomores gathered at the appointed rendezvous for an October festival given by the Freshman Class, at Which, per invitation-instructions, each guest was to appear in costume. Such a conglomerate assemblage as they were! Celebrities from all points of the compass, along with characters of story book fame, mingled freely among eccentric personages mysteriously sprung from here, there, and nowhere. In addition to all these, farmers and farmerettes abounded. The early part of the evening was spent in introducing the guests to the tomb of - King Tut. The rest of the time was gaily passed in playing games, such as silly questions and foolish answers, New York, and Relay Races, plus countless others. About ten o'clock a luncheon was served consisting of coffee, sandwiches, jello and wafers, after which the fantastic creations vanished into their respective habitats as miraculously as they had come. 74 4X xx5..L.XNN ' T5 2 fl S X xx X X N, A R xk X x x mg x S X xxxxmxxywx fkXXxxxxXX,, XXX X X xx XX X XXX x X xx X x , N X Y- nf - -XXXL V X if -ix-il Xi .1 ,W-1 ....--my x X X L ZX gt THE CARDINAL Alumni Graduates at chartering of the school: Elizabeth Fenton, Erie.
