Margie and Tom Mason rode along with their cousins, Jack and Ann Car- ter, on their Uncle Jack's ranch. As they neared the top of the mountain on their ponies they heard a queer sound like a wail. Margie exclaimed, Maybe we better turn back, I'm kinda tired anyway. Yes, let's go back, declared Ann as the wail grew more weird. You girls can go back, but we want to find out what that sound is, said Ann's brother. Noi said both girls so quickly that Jack and Tom'burst out laughing. It was finally agreed upon that they .would turn home and do their investi- gating the next day. - When they got to the ranch they said nothing about the wails to their parents. Thenext morning four early birds packed their lunch, left a note and started for the mountains. We'l1 iind out more if we go on the other side I'll bet, said Tom as they started. ' When they were about four or tive miles from the ranch house, suddenly from an ambush, the wail came so loud and quick that the four riders jumped. The girls screamed and the ponies reared and threatened to throw their riders. ' - From behind the trees rode a large bus. A horn tooted and the Estee Cow Callers iEstee Choirb trouped out. The Cow Callers had come west to learn the ways and songs of the cowboys. The queer wails the Mason and Car- ter children had heard were the Cow Callers trying to learn to call the cows! ELEANOB Dmrmann Fitzsimmons Wins Peters Penmanship Prize Robert Fitzsimmons, 8B3, receives the two dollars and fifty cents awarded by Mr. F. D. Peters to the pupil in the 8B grade who has shown the greatest improvement in his writing from the time he enters the school until he takes Regents in the SB grade. Even though Robert entered the 7B grade late in the term he has succeeded by a good deal of hard work in changing his hand- writing to such an extent that he was awarded the prize by the faculty. The committee consisted of Vera Smith, Blanche Lamont, Ella Beach, Isabel Fordham and Genevieve Steele, Penmanship teacher in Estee. The task of choosing the winner was not an easy one as most every pupil shows considerable improvement. Those who were in the running up to the very last were: Robert Retersdorf, Bea- trice Tuchin, Douglas Vickery, Angelo Torino and Douglas Baker. Others who received honorable men- tion were: James Ambrosino, Ray- mond Groshans, Gretchen McDonald, Concetta Esposito, Rose Lander and Edith Dye. YYYY ,Y ,s

42' 1' Fisfrau Sans Boon Class Prophecy Continued from Page 21 The next day I started to leave the West. I had a choking sensation as I started to do this, for I knew I was leaving all my friends. But for a part- ing shot I met Billy Luss in the train. He had a job as steward. But Ithought stewards on trains were supposed to be black. I didn't know how they could mistake Bill for a negro. So with that I say farewell to the West, the land of the Virginian. - On the train I met my former schoolmate, Bernice Hawley, and we talked over old times. She said she was now secretary to Harvey King, who was in partnership with John Pecorino and her old pal, Clara James, was secretary to John. I went to the dining car and who should be waiting on tables but Ruth Keuhnel, Jean Farrell, Naomi Jones, Mary Leal, Esther Johnson and Helen Gray. After eating, I went to the kitchen of the train and Hazel Stewart and June Lehman were cooking, while Bernice and Vernice Lathrop were busy washing dishes. I walked on to the engine of the train to see the conductor, Marcus Allen, and found Julian Born and Bob Baker shoveling coal. They were so black from the coal that I had to in- quire to find out who they were. I went back to the observation car and found Betty Mahoney gossiping with Grace Blood. They were discus- sing Evelyn Stead's engagement to Barton Olson. I looked around and happened to see a lady who wore dark glasses. I asked Grace who it was. To my amaze- ment she told me it was Estelle Citron- berg, who was now a noted actress. I spoke to her, but she replied, I want to -be alone. tWith a Russian accentl. I heard a lot of talking and in walked Stanley Werthman, a star re- porter on the Daily Blab. He asked if we knew Jeanette Ackel, who was now an opera singer, starring in Romeo and Juliet playing opposite Kenneth Tetradis. I walked back through the car and heard someone crooning to their baby. It was Dorothy Sutliff, now married to Claude Lipe. That night when I went to my berth in the pullman car I found the porter was Gerald Young, who was getting the beds ready. Down the aisle was trot- ting Doris Bednard with towels over her arm. That night I was wakened around 2 A. M. and found Jane Gillis and Gloria Fox quarrelling who was going to have the lower berth. I slept the rest ofthe night in peace. I was awakened at 5 A. M. by our faithful Gerald. After breakfast the train stopped and who should get on but Shirley Davis. She had a little child with her and was trying to sneak her on the train without paying her fare. But under the watchful eye of Marcus she didn't succeed. I spoke to her but she did not answer. I think she just didn't want to, seeing she was married to Tony Castiglione and living on Fifth Avenue, New York.
