Yell-Leader The class had planned to give the school some idea of the amount of its talent in a lively rally this term, but because of the short time allotted to prepare it, it was decided to postpone the event until next term. Having abandoned this means of displaying our school spirit we put all our energy into making a suc- cess of our other activities. In debating Anne de Gruehy helped win the victory in the debate with the Freshmen. The orchestra has grown with the additions from our class of Kath- erine Myers, Alice Cummings, and Kathlyn Woolf. With our present attitude toward all school affairs we expect to give the Student Body of the Girls High School some records of which to be proud. C. F.

To Laurette Cullinan the thanks of the editor are due for her work on “The Sopheurn. ” Anita von Husen is to be commended for her work as Third Vice- President.

This term, however, upon our advancement to the lofty position of IBs, we have organized a full staff of officers under Electa Thomas. The interest of the class in the activities of the school is increasing by leaps and bounds and several of our class have already claimed the attention of the school through their participation in athletics, debating and orchestra work. In the orchestra we are represented by Marion Meyer, Betty Libbey, Edna Gunsberger, Sophie Schainman, and Dixie Kennedy. The manager of the '23 basketball team is Electa Thomas of our class. Our debaters are Madeline Lack- man and Bernice Dickoff. Though the ’23 team was defeated in the debate, our debaters have not lost heart and are going ahead with renewed vigor. June ’23 “knows bow” and is going to prove it. Watch us! E. T.

We feel that we have shown Ihe school through our active participation in the many activities that the class is a real part of the Girls High School. In athletics, especially tennis, a large number of enthusiasts from December ’23 are showing considerable talent. The baseball list shows that a large number of our girls are aspiring to be feminine Ty Cobbs. The class is in the school to make a record and everything seems so far to point that way. M. W.

Laura despised herself at the bottom of her heart— ______________________ despised the useless, aimless existence—the empty rou- tine—and most of all, simply detested Tessie’s efficiency. When Bob was with her, it was different ; then the moments were filled with happy activity and pleasure. But when he had given her a kiss, gi'abbed his hat, and after a few loving words had slammed the big front door, a dullness crept into her lonesome heart, and a dreadful ennui overtook her. This morning, as she put down the “Morning Post,” Laura looked uncer- tainly at Tessie, who had ready on the tip of her tongue the valuable suggestion. Once in a while she paused and looked at Laura in a speculative manner, annoy- ing the young woman immensely. “Well?” Laura said, finally. The maid jumped. Young Mrs. Warren had never used any but a soft, pleading tone when she addressed her servants. Tessie had boasted of this to the servant elite .... But there was no mistaking the asperity of this tone. “Nothing, Ma‘am!” Laura rose and swept to her room, there to change her delicate negligee for a pretty house dress. While she dressed, she looked at herself in the mirror, earnestly trying to fathom the new person, that lurked behind the charming little figure. When her toilette was complete, she took a bundle of keys from a drawer in her husband’s chiffonier, and dropped them into a pocket in her dress. Then Laura went out into the hall, and up a rickety flight of stairs, into the attic. The great irregular attic was full of shadowy nooks and cobwebby corners. It was lit in a dim manner by one small window located in the front part of the house. Though the dirty panes straggled a few friendly sunbeams, that showed a great heap of trunks and boxes, covered with dirt and dust. Laura gazed around her, with delight... She had been looking forward to rummaging in the attic since Bob had mentioned that there was supposed to be an important document in one of the old trunks. Still being somewhat of a child, she closed her eyes and whirled hei’self dizzily around, a pointed finger out-stretched. When she opened her eyes, she found herself on the floor, pointing to an old trunk that had seen better days. Drawing her legs under, tailor fashion, and smoothing her skirts daintily, Laura drew a long sigh of anticipation. Then she pushed at the lid of the trunk, but it resisted her efforts. Exasperated, Laura took the keys from her pockets, and applied them, one by one. To her joy, the trunk opened at last. She lifted the lid and gasped. A large, beautiful doll smiled at her! Laura forgot that she was a married woman of twenty, forgot all about her mature resolution—she was a little girl again. Carefully she lifted the doll from its excelsior bed, and set it on her lap, admiring its pretty dress. Page Thirty-six CStrlS Ijigl) feicljool Journal J l N E, 1 i) 2 o She peeped at the underclothes, and found them to be very complete, and neatly sewed. Her rapture knew no bounds. The little woman was a mother in every fibre of her being—and there lay the tragedy. For one day, not so long ago but what the memory of it hurt still, she had learned that she was never to have a child. The complete realization of the emptiness and loneliness that was to be her portion had rushed over her as she examined the doll, and for a moment Laura had become a woman again, but with a sigh she cast away the sadness and was smiling over the doll. “Mrs. War-r-en!’’ The voice grew insistent. “Ma’am, Mrs. Warren! Lunch is served. It’ll he getting cold.” A loud knocking followed this announcement. Laura roused herself with a start. She rubbed her eyes, and looked at the doll with an uncomprehending stare. The door opened, and Tessie entered. She came forward, hut when she saw her mistress on the floor with the doll on her lap she was dumb-founded, and retreated a few steps. “I rung the gong, but you never heard me,” she explained apologetically, “and so 1 called and called all over the house.” “I must have been asleep,” said Laura.. .She had been dreaming that the doll had turned into a real flesh and blood child.. .It had crept into her arms, and she had kissed it, and then she had tucked it into a quaint old trundle-bed. “All right, Tessie,” said she. She rose stiffly, and walked toward the door. Tessie started down the stairs, wondering if her mistress were “daft”, while the person in question gave another look at the doll, which she had left sitting against the trunk. She was about to follow Tessie downstairs, when her glance was arrested by a queer object on the other side of the attic. It was a trundle- bed ! The lunch was cold when Laura sat down to it, but what did she care? All she could think of was the beautiful doll, and the thought gave her an exquisite pang of regret—a feeling which grew into deep yearning. As Mrs. Warren was a newcomer in the neighborhood, she knew very few people socially. Therefore her afternoons were generally as empty as her morn- ings. Today it seemed that the hours were winged, as she dressed the doll in the many and varied clothes that were folded in the trunk. At about half past four Laura put on her street clothes and ordered the chauffeur to bring her car to the front door, two pink spots of excitement burning on her cheeks, and a look of strong resolve shining in her eyes. “Hello! Where’s Mrs. Warren?” ejaculated Bob Warren when Tessie opened the door. “I don’t know, sir,” returned the maid. “She went out, I’m thinking, but she never told me where to.” Bob had been alarmed when Laura had failed to answer the door-bell, but Tessie’s words reassured him. Tessie still stood there, regarding him. “What’s the matter?” asked Bob kindly. “Please, sir. I think there’s something the matter with the Missus! she stated with conviction. “Tell me quickly, what?” (Btrlo !o fl)ocil Journal .1 l N E, 1 2 (I Page Thirty-seven “Well,” began Tessie, in her slow way, “she acted queer-like up in the attic. When 1 went up to tell her that lunch was ready, she was staring at a doll in her lap: she played with it all afternoon!” “Is it up there now?” “ I guess so. sir.” “Well, get it!” Tessie stared at him. Were there two lunatics in the heretofore quiet, well regulated household ? “Get it. I said !” When the doll was brought, Hob stared at it a long time. He grew very serious, and at first his eyes were very bright. Then they dimmed. Pulling on his hat, Bob went out ot' the front door, shutting it with such a bang that Tessie jumped violently. • « “Laura!” “Bob!” Bob had stepped out of his roadster just in time to see Laura get out of the limousine. She carried a small, blanketed bundle. So did he. A sense of humor is a saving grace. Bob burst into a hearty guffaw, which his wife echoed merrily. When Tessie opened the door, her smile froze to open-mouthed amazement. She swallowed hard. “Is it babies?” she queried softly. “Yes!” they answered. “Are they alive?” “Of course, goose!” Tessie raised her hands in despair, and disappeared. “How did you ever think of doing such a thing?” asked Laura. “Tessie told me about the doll.” her husband explained. “Oli. Bob, we'll have to take one back!” “We will not!” said Bob stoutly. “Mine's a boy; so there won’t be any fighting about the doll, when they get bigger.” “Let’s get through the adopting as soon as possible, Bob. IIovv glad I am that I found that doll!” “I am too!” said Bob. E. B. S., June ’20. Page Thirlg-eight (Strls ferfjool Journal June, 1920 The Vision Awarded First Prize. The city is a-glowing with a million gleaming eyes. And a million hearts that beat with gasping strain; And the moon is rising lurid through the murk the stars despise. Rising like some creature torn with pain. I can see the man-made glamour as it stretches block on block, I can feel the heated tension of the reeking city fray. And my head is swimming, swimming till the buildings reel and rock, And my soul is longing just to be away! Oh I’ve watched the painted faces and the tawdry restless crowd, And I've seen them bent before the god of gold and all it brings, And my ears are ringing with the noise, and all my being’s bowed With the yearning for the country and the spring! For the glory of a dawning spread on mountain tops of gold. For the purple of the distance with its veils of shifting light. For the glamour of the stillness stretched through vastness all untold— Oh I'm longing, longing for it all to-night! Through the pine trees thrills a whisper where they stretch in legions strong, Over hillsides bathed in sunshine like some lovely saffron sea. And the murmuring in the river and its silvery crystal song Comes a-throbbing through the distance—unto , me! Where the mighty open spaces meet the wonder of the sky. And the mists with clinging fingers on the wild, sweet distance fall, I can hear the mountains calling, and my heart takes up the cry— Oh I’m answering—I’m answering the call! Helen Faulkner, Dec. ’20. 0irls ferfjool Journal J i x e, 19 2 0 Page Thirty-nine The Barrier night was the blackest in history. The wind blew over ie furrowed sea, and the roaring thunder seemed to rend ic very heavens. The lightning flashes revealed the raging orm and the breakers dashing high upon the rocks. The right lantern of the Glasgow lighthouse sent a warning iru the blackness of the night—tossed about on the ighty waves a giant ship crashed, then sank. In the gray shadows of the dawn there came a lull in ie tempest—a sudden, breathless silence. Upon the rocks ke a fragile hit of driftwood lay a white, still form. • Niel Richmond went to the “Olympic Theater” that night for the first time. He was discouraged and wanted temporarily to forget his work and himself. Lately he seemed to have lost his old fire and enthusiasm; his work, instead of a pleasure, had become drudgery, lie was the most admired, most sought-after sculptor in England. 11 is studio was the rendezvous of aristocrats. Ilis teas were delightfully exclusive affairs, and at his receptions only the elite were gathered. But he was tired of the praise and admiration of men, and of the homage and adoration of women, lie had enjoyed their patronage for a time hut he was growing restive and discontented. He had one ambition—to chisel a masterpiece—the one work that was to receive its inspiration from his sold. To be sure the world had acknowledged his “Death” to be a masterpiece, to be to sculpture what “Paradise Lost” is to literature. It had received scores of prizes in public and private exhibitions. But it bad not been a child of his in- spiration; the fire of his genius had not been breathed into it; therefore he had called it “Death.” He had hoped to mould “Life” some time but tonight that time seemed far away. Tonight he had been absorbed in his own reflections and had been absent-mind- ed during the first scene of the opera, “La Pescadora.” But now when he turned his eyes to the stage, the most beautiful woman he had ever seen was singing “ Yo soy pescadora.” She appeared to be singing right into his box, and as he watched her he turned pale. Who was she? He drew his eyes from the lovely vision to look at the program. She was Cecily Forrest, prima donna with the Duval Opera Company He again looked at her; she returned the gaze and he fancied that she smiled. He was fascinated. As the curtain fell he admitted to himself that once more he felt that overwhelming desire to mould the immortal “Life”—the reawakened ambition—and once more dedicated his heart to his work. At the same moment he knew that Cecily Forrest had aroused within him the dormant hope and that she must be his model. For three nights he went alone to see “La Pescadora.” Then one morning he called at the theatre, and when his card was presented to her, she recognised the name of the famous sculptor and he was admitted with- out delay. The formalities over, he stated his errand. She accepted the proposition and as her stage contract expired at the end of the week, she promised to be at Richmond’s studio ready for work in four days. He left the theatre with a light heart. The world now looked gay and bright; before it had seemed tired and dark. How slowly those four days crept by! It seemed an eternity before she came and the work was begun. They toiled and played. She sang as he chiselled, and when she grew weary the soft plaintive music of his guitar soothed the aching muscles. They became more and more absorbed in the work—and in each other. Page Forty CSttls ferfjool journal June, 1920 At length the figure was completed. Richmond had accomplished his aim, and “Life,” in its marble beauty, shone like a precious jewel. As they stood looking upon it, he said, “Miss Forrest, I can’t find words to tell you what your help has meant to me. Your inspiration has enabled me to fulfill my deepest desire.” Then he told her this story: “Years ago in the little village of Girvan, in eastern Scotland, lived a young artist and his girl-wife. lie was winning the recognition of the world for the perfection of his statues. His beautiful wife Mas his model. Oh, how he adored and Morshipped her! To him she M'as more beautiful than the sunshine and the fioM'ers, more perfect than the mountains and the sky. Then—one night while they were making a voyage to Glasgow, a terrible storm arose, the boat Mas tossed up and down on the mighty waves and finally it sank. The wife Mas drowned.” (Here Richmond involuntarily shuddered.) “I am that artist. My young wife Mas lost at sea. When I saw you on the ‘Olympic’ stage I thought she was standing before me. I felt my old fire and enthusiasm return, and I asked you to pose for me. You have been my inspiration. Aly heart is over- flowing with gratitude to you for your interest and your earnest Mork. I need your inspiration always—Cecily.” As he Mas about to clasp her in his arms, there appeared an apparition of exquisite loveliness M'hich glided between them. It M'as seen only by Cecily, who cried, “The eternal barrier! No, Xiel, I can’t.” And she passed out of his life forever. There M as to he no golden harvest—no reaping of the ripened love.

A pause in his busy flight And, posed in a whirring mist, He pauses before And shadows o’er The rosebud that has not been kissed. Then in its deep-hid heart, Seeking the nectar of gold, With his slender bill lie probes, until He has drained off the treasure it holds. Shaking the dew from his wings At the first gray gleam of dawn, From his blossoming bough He swoops, and now Off to the meadow is gone. All through the indolent day Through the dreamy hours he gleams O’er a lucid pool, Like a flashing jewel, Sending forth Nature’s sweet dreams. Or, past the cherry-bloom spray, Brushing the petals in flight, He wings, till Day Scampers away— Hearing the footsteps of Night. Then, as the twilight falls, The moon her radiance flings Where a humming-bird wee Is perched on a tree With his head tucked under Ins wings. E. I'. S., June '20. Page Forty-two 3irls Itigf) ferljool journal June, 1920 The Sea he NIGHT had fallen, inevitably and mercilessly. A dense, white fog rose from the sea and enveloped Mauna Loa. The moon shone through the pale shroud like a solitary beacon, for not a star twinkled in the firmament. Up, up the rocky trail of the mountain came a little girl, slowly and haltingly, with outstretched arms, feeling her way along the path, step by step. Wandering, ever searching, but never finding, she plodded ahead. Large unseeing blue eyes gazed straight ahead of her as she carefully measured each tiny step. Wearily, she struggled to the top. On the edge of the crater of the mighty volcano stood the child with the sightless blue eyes, looking far down into the seething depth. She could not see the fiery, boiling lava, bubbling and bursting, but she heard its distant, muffled roar as of the crashing waves of the sea. Her face then shone with a joyful, eager yearning. With an exultant cry. “I have found the sea!” she plunged into the crater. Dawn, rosy and clear, broke over the mountain. The arch of the sky with its glorious burst of color was reflected on tlie blue, crystal surface of the sea. Then the sun rose and breathed warmth and freedom into the atmosphere. The sea had been appeased. Marie Pope, June ’20. Desolation 1 looked into a sunset, burning, gold, Flaming its passion on a quiet sky; Wreathing serenity in crimson folds— A little moment—and I saw it die. I looked into a life, and there a love Had filled with glory what was gray, forlorn, Bringing a glimpse of all the warmth above, A little moment—and it, too, was gone. Oh, sky that knew the passion of the light, Oh. light that saw the glory by you roll, IIow shall you bear the emptiness of night? How live the desolation of the soul! Helen Faulkner, Dec.

The origin of these Olympic Games dates prior to 776 B. C. Once every four years these games were held upon the plains of Olympia, in Greece, in honor of the (reek god, Zeus. The period of time between the holding of games was called an Olympiad. In 394 A. D. Theo- dosius I abolished the Olympic Games, and to a French- man, Baron Pierre de Coubertin, belongs the credit of their re-establishment. A. 1). 1896. Foremost among the many activities of the ancient Greek contests was the Marathon Race, so called because of the famous run of Pheidippides, from Mar- athon to Athens, which brought news of the Greek victory over the Persians at the Battle of Marathon. The distance covered was forty-two kilometers or twenty-six miles, and it is interesting to note that this same distance has been retained as the length of the course for the present Marathon Race at the modern Olympic Games. The reward for winning the championship of any of the events was a laurel wreath and exemption from all taxation. Those tirst to participate were the men of the Peloponnesus. Later all Greeks who were inclined toward athletics took part. Women, even as spectators, were excluded from these games, and were threatened with the punishment of being thrown over cliffs if found in the stadium. The reason for the non-admittance Page Forty-four C5irls ferbool Journal June, 1920 of women was that the old-time Greeks feared that if women should win over men in any of the contests they would claim the same rights and privileges as did the men. The first of the modern games was held in the year 1896 at Athens, Greece. The original stadium was restored, and the Marathon was re-run over its original course. The winner of this Marathon was a Greek. Women were not allowed as participants, but were admitted as spectators. At the second Olympic Games, held in Paris in 1900, American men were victors in eighteen out of twenty-four championships, making a very creditable showing for their country. Again, women did not take active part, but they were becoming more and more interested, and now we find that women spec- tators were very much in evidence. The third series of games was held in 1904 at St. Louis, in connection with the Louisiana Purchase Exposition. Even in the country where women have the most freedom there were no women par- ticipants. The first we hear of woman’s participation was at the fourth Olympic Games in 1908, which were held in London in connection with the Franeo-British Exposition. At this event British women entered into competition with their Freneh sisters in the tennis events, and the honors fell to the players from the land of the Fleur-de-Lis. At the fifth series, held at Stockholm in 1912, German women took part in tennis competition, playing in both singles and doubles, in the swimming events women of Scandinavia were prominent, carrying off the championship. They also took part in gymnastics and folk dancing. The outbreak and duration of the late World War caused the postponement of the sixth series. This was to have been held in 1916, but those who were to be entrants had but little thought of Olympic Games, being occupied in serving their respective countries on the firing line or in the home trenches. This year the proposed sixth series will be held at Antwerp, Belgium, and all moneys derived therefrom will go toward the rebuilding of the war-torn country in which they will take place. Heretofore American women have never actively entered into this compe- tition, but we have every reason to believe that they will give a sterling account of themselves, as interest in women’s athletics in this country has been increas- ing by leaps and bounds, and we have many fine representatives to carry the Stars and Stripes to victory. Thus, woman, after centuries, is allowed full privileges in the games orig- inated by the ancient Greeks, and in these games which she was once not allowed even to view, we hope woman will emerge with her full share of victory, and that to the American woman and the American man who contests.will go the glory and the laurel. Augusta Rude, June ’20. ©iris l?igl) rf)ooI Journal .1 i x e, 19 2 0 Page Forly-flue The Pumpkin House big, yellow house covered with cool, green vines and sur- rounded by shady trees and flower gardens, stands in the very middle of a very old town in Indiana. The house is quite the quaintest one in town, and it is always pointed out to visitors. The man who built it must have loved curves, for the gray-green, shingled roof curves at the eaves; the windows have rounded tops; even the door with its shiny brass knocker is curved at the top and has a little round window in it. All the little windows in the attic are perfectly round, and have little circular green shutters, and the roof, instead of behaving like any ordinary peaked roof, is round like a Japanese bridge. Twice a year the gardens are filled with nothing but yellow flowers of every conceivable hue from the pale yellow rose to the deepest orange marigold. In the spring there are daffodils, narcissus, primroses, tulips and other yellow blooms, and in the autumn there are goldenrod, coreopsis and daisies, which make the garden one mass of gold. But the clever landscape gardener, as if afraid that even gold would pall, had planted vari-colored blossoms for the other seasons of the year. The children who lived in the yellow house knew all about history, so they named the yellow gardens the “Field of the Cloth of Gold.” For a long time they were undecided what to name the house, but one day when the pumpkins were ripe, little Tommy, the youngest Arden, with the help of Lydia, the oldest, laid a huge pumpkin on the yellow stairs and scampered off to play with the rest of the family. Afterwards, as they came up the walk, they couldn’t find the pumpkin—that is, they couldn’t see it until they were almost on top of it, for the yellow house was nearly the same color as the pumpkin. “I know what we’ll call the house,” Tommy shouted, bringing the other youngsters to the scene. “We’ll call it ‘Pumpkin House!’ See the old pumpkin is the very same color!” And so the Pumpkin House was named, and it is called that to this very day. But there are no children living in the Pumpkin House now, for they have all grown up and gone away and married or died—that is, all except Lydia, who, you will remember, was the oldest of the Arden family. Lydia never went away, nor married, and she isn’t dead, or there wouldn’t be a story to tell. Poor, dear Lydia! Whenever anything was to be done like staying home from parties to mind the baby or nursing Tommy and Amy and Jack through the measles, she was the one who did it, and so she grew older and older and the younger children grew up and left the Pumpkin House until only Lydia was left. One day Lydia was working in the garden of the lonely yellow house, digging up some bulbs, to store away for the summer. It was monotonous work and, since Lydia liked company she pretended that the children were there as they used to be, and she talked aloud to them. “Tommy Arden, take your foot out of that flower bed, or you’ll spoil the ‘F. C. G.!’ ” (“F. C. G.” was the nickname the children had for the “Field of the Cloth of Gold.”) “Amy. please bring me the watering can.” She got the can herself, pre- tending that Amy had, and said, “Thank you, Amykins, now you can go in and ask Ellen to give you a doughnut.” Page Forty-six (Strls Ijigl) rl)ool Joimnil June, 1920 She was talking gaily and was so engrossed in her task that she didn’t hear the garden gate open and close; in fact, she didn’t know anyone was there until a shadow fell over the ground on which she was working. She looked up and saw a tall man with tired brown eyes and brown hair just turning grey at the temples. Ilis crazily patched clothes, hung on his thin frame in voluminous folds, and his pale face was covered with a several weeks’ growth of beard. Lydia was undeniably frightened, but, being a strong woman, she merely said. “What do you want?” “Lydia, Lydia, don’t you remember me?” he asked. She gazed at him critically for a moment, then, “No, no, I don’t recognize you unless—unless—no, of course not!” “Unless what? You are sure you don’t know me?” “No, I’m quite sure I never saw you before. Do you want work?” “Lydia,” he cried brokenly, “I thought you, at least, would remember me.” lie turned to go, but Lydia caught his arm. “You’re not Dob Marsh—the Dob Marsh who used to play here when we were children, ever so long ago? You can’t be, and yet he might have looked like you if he had lived.” “Dob Marsh isn’t dead, Lydia, lie’s—oh. I’m Dob Marsh!” “You! Dob Marsh? It can't be true! It can’t be true!” she almost whispered. “Dut if you are he why didn’t you write? I got so few letters, and after a while they stopped coming altogether. Oh, why did you do it—why did you?” she said brokenly. “I thought you might forgive and forget for the sake of the past, but I see I’ve been mistaken. My dearest idol is only clay after all.” lie turned and walked down the path, his head bent forward, his arms hanging loosely—a picture of dejection. At the gate he stumbled and fell. Lydia ran to his side, found that he had fainted, called Ellen, the cook, and between the two they helped him into the house. For many weeks the man lay babbling deliriously of many things, but the word most often on his lips was Lydia. One day he woke up quite sane but very, very weak. It was a long time before he was strong enough to leave his bed, but finally, in the autumn, when the goldenrod made the garden again the “Field of the Cloth of Gold,” he was able to go out of doors and lie in the warm September sunshine. As the days passed, the golden garden laid its spell on him and he began to dream that some day even he might hope for the greatest thing of all. Frances I. Friend, June ’20.

At least it seemed dreadful in the eyes of the citizens, the majority of whom hail gathered in front of Si Jenkins store and were conversing in rather loud tones, gesticula- ting wildly at times, and pointing to the steeple of a beau- tiful church nearby. The Church of St. James, from which the little village bv the lake had gotten its name, was the pride of the com- munity. and its tall, imposing-looking spire, topped by a magnificent gilded cross, was a landmark for miles around. Strangers approaching the town would know that they were near when the cross came in view, and tourists would go out of their way to see the church so much talked of. Indeed, it was a beautiful sight to watch the sun rise up over the hills and throw its first beams of light upon the cross, causing it to glisten and shine as if a million diamonds were clustered over it. And when the red and orange hues of sunset were reflected across tin- lake, the cross would seem to look down and say that it would keep watch with the moon until the dawn. Surely such an object was a thing of which to be proud, and the little band of citizens had good cause to be excited, when one day out of a perfectly calm sky had risen a terrific wind, which developed into a hurricane, uprooting trees, tearing the clothes from the lines, blowing in windows and doing con- siderable damage. However, the aforesaid things faded into insignificance when the villagers found, to their dismay, that, fluttering peacefully from tin- top of the steeple, and wound around the cross, was what seemed to be something resembling a woman’s red flannel petticoat! The mayor at once called a meeting to discuss the possible ways and means of removing the unsightly looking object from its elevated position. At the end of a lengthy discussion, it was decided that a steeplejack would have to be called from the city, over a hundred miles away, at the cost of consider- able money, if, after a delay of a day or so and the otter ot a reward, no one could be found who would remove the article. The result of the meeting was a notice put up in front of the postoffice. $r,0 REWARD!! To the person who succeeds, before six o’clock tomorrow night, in removing the red flannel petticoat from the steeple of St. James’ Church! It was before this poster that little Jean DuBois paused on his way home from school that afternoon. After carefully spelling it out, little Jean turned thoughtfully toward home, and threw himself down upon the little plot of grass in front of the simple but neatly kept cottage, lie thought so long that 1‘age Fiftu C5irls tiisf) ferfjool Journal Jl'KE, 10 2 0 his head ached, and lie went around in back for some water. The boy's favorite pastime was dying kites, and when not busy with something else, he could always be found on the hillside with one of his big ones. As he filled the bucket from the pump, his eye rested on one of his largest and most prized kites. Sud- denly an inspiration came to him. He looked around the yard, and found a piece of wire. This he bent into the shape of a hook and attached it to the tail of his kite. Then, with the latter under his arm, he started toward the church. Letting go of his burden, he allowed it to rise gracefully into the air to the height of several hundred feet. Then, guiding it to a position directly over the cross, he maneuvered until the hook at the end of the tail was dangling close to the gaily colored petticoat. By this time a breathless crowd had gath- ered around the church. The hook wavered and finally seemed to lodge in the folds of the garment. Jean pulled in quickly, but the petticoat did not budge. Again he tried, with the same result. The crowd gave a discouraged sigh. Once more the kite arose, and this time the hook seemed to fix itself firmly onto the object, for when Jean pulled in. the petticoat unwound itself from its high position and, dangling from the tail of the kite, made a hurried flight toward earth, leaving the beautiful cross once more resplendent in all its glory. Cheer after cheer arose from the crowd as the little boy was carried oif to the town hall amid the congratulations of the people. The mayor shook his hand with approval, as did also Father Anderson, the good priest of the church, and Jean was very happy indeed. But when it came to giving him the reward, he refused to take it, saying: “I did it for my church, and if there is any money to be given, you give it to him,” pointing to Father Anderson. All the persuading in the world could not make him change his mind, and so the people had to do as he said. • • • • In a few days receipted bills for rent several months overdue made a mysterious appearance in the DuBois home, and all the unpaid bills, which had been worrying the father greatly, were just as mysteriously paid up. Little Jean wondered how it all could have happened. Buell Carey, June ’23. BEQUEATHALK 1. Upon the sad event of my leaving G. II. S., I.

Doings of Deborah. Episode I. Deborah was industriously la- boring. A casual observer would not have pronounced Deborah pretty, but her blind sweetheart thought that she was beautiful. As 1 said before, Deborah was in- dustriously laboring. Let us gaze upon her as she placidly peels onions for breakfast. Ah, Deb- orah. had your eyes been both of the same hue, had you not mis- taken rheumatism liniment for hair tonic, had you weighed one hundred pounds less—ah, De- borah—were it not for these slight defects, then indeed you would have been beautiful! But while we are thus meditat- ing, -Deborah suspended her la- bors. Hearing suspicious sounds emerging from the. next room, she pricked up her ears and listened. The color fled from her freckles. At length, spilling her onions, up- setting three pans and tripping over a chair, she slipped noise- lessly from the room. There, on the threshold of the adjoining grewsome room, she was arrested by a fearful sight. Alas, her suspicions had been too well grounded! That helpless soul shrieked with horror as she made an imploring gesture. Gentle reader, murder is grotesque, and so you will excuse the heroine if she displays feminine weakness. You, yourself, would have cringed with fear if you had witnessed such a spectacle, for—I shudder to say it—there within those four walls, Deborah saw her lover, the apple of her eye. in the act of shooting, yes.

Mrs. Prag has been the spirit of the Girls High School for more than fifty years, and during that time she left nothing in her power undone to give this school its excellent rating among the high schools of California. She has always been the friend and counsellor of “her girls,” many of whom now have daughters going to Girls High, who also know Mrs. Prag as their adviser and guardian. We cannot measure for the eye of an outsider the amount of gratitude due Mrs. Prag for the things she has done for us. but those who have atttended Girls High School wish her to feel the sincere appreciation and deep thanks they cannot express. As the time goes on we miss her more and more, and we hope “our Grandma” will not forget her children down at Scott and Geary streets. We shall always look forward to her visits here. The students extend a hearty welcome to Miss Matchette. our new English teacher, and to Miss Hesselberg, our new instructor in History. We also wish to congrallllate Miss Daniel upon her appointment as Vice- Principal. and Miss ITobe upon la B hc head of the History Department. This term ihe school has into practice idea which promisi's to hear t lie fruit so time tlx- future. Tic students have long felt that. 111 High School maintains very high standards, there have been oceunM ffortunate instances of stealing and cheating that do not benefit the student morale. To the end of forcing these misdemeanors to cease, the students have met in their different organizations and adopted the Honor System. The school is going to prove that student control in Girls High is the best thing for the school reputation and honor. Self-government is going to be good government here. Downstairs in the lower corridor, as most of our students have discovered, there is a flourishing cafeteria. Beyond the fact that very good food may be obtained there, little is known about it. Some of the girls have wondered who owned it and how it compared with those of other schools. These are things that Dr. Scott has long wished the public to know and understand. Our cafeteria is owned by the Student Body, and. as the girls could not possibly run it. outside employment is necessary. This term we have had in Mrs. Fredericks a very capable manager, and consequently the food served has been of the very best. The fact that the cafeteria has always been open to the criticism of the OirlS IttBf) ferhool Journal students is probably the reason that very little complaint has been heard of it, as the jrirls have been active in lending valuable suggestions in regard to im- proving the facilities. We may well be proud of our cafeteria, for it is serving good food more inexpensively than any other high school. To Miss Armer the Journal staff gives its sincere thanks for the inestimable aid she has given us in our work on the Journal. The advice and constructive criticism she so kindly gave have been indispensable in the preparation of this book, and the staff wishes her to know how deeply grateful it is. To Miss Jones and Mr. McGlynn our thanks are due for the splendid way in which they have assisted in turning out cuts for the Journal. The work on the art side of this issue has been exceptionally great, and it is to these teachers that we may attribute much of the artistic success of this Journal. Because of the great rise in the prices of publishing, the management this term was forced to devote a great number of the pages of this issue to adver- tisements. Even forty pages, more than ever before, did not quite cover the cost of our book, and so I)r. Scott allowed us to have a candy sale. We may safely say that never before have the girls so unanimously supported any school activity as they supported the Journal through the Candy Sale. Never before was so much candy contributed or purchased. The proceeds amply sup- plied our needs and enabled us to add some new features to the issue. We hope that the school will continue to give this earnest co-operation and support to the Journal, the activity that officially represents it. The Editor takes this opportunity of thanking the Staff for its untiring work and co-operation in preparing this issue. The Class of June 20 may con- gratulate itself on having as members such loyal and efficient girls. To those girls who have so kindly contributed literary material this term the Staff feels duly grateful. They have shown school spirit in an unmistak- able manner, and deserve all commendation. The Editor particularly wishes to extend her thanks to Dorothy Morgenthau and Edith Solomons for their work on the “Whispering Chorus,” and to Anne de Cruchy and Burette Culli- nan for their work on the “Sopheum.” May the next Editor find these girls ready for work.

Very often the work they have done has been of infinite importance to some activity, yet only those imme- diately concerned have known to whom appreciation is due. It is to making the school acquainted with girls who deserve its commendation that this page is dedicated. Heretofore, those who have helped make the Journal a success by their excel- lent work for the literary or the business side have not received any sort of public praise. The management of the Journal feels that it owes such a debt of grati- tude to the girls whose pictures appear at the beginning of this page, that it is no more than just that the attention of the school be called to their work. To Helen Faulkner of the Class of December ’20 was awarded the prize for the best poem. “Laura’s Doll” by Erna Sehraubstadter was judged the best story. To these girls and to Phyllis Goldsmith, champion “ad-getter” and her close second, Marion B. Pond, is due a great deal of the success of this Journal.

The bond between us. our classmates and our school is the Alumnae Association. At its pleasant receptions and luncheons we get together, meet our old friends and renew the “good old times.” The Alumnae during the past year has taken a vital interest in the activities of the school and started the Student Body on its campaign for a scholarship, by sponsoring the .Mary 1’rag Scholarship Fund. This interest that the Alumnae has shown and the aid it has given will create a strong bond between the old students and the present students, and we urge that the high seniors every year join this splendid organization of our Alma Mater as a hundred per cent body.

Now the athletes are going to “show the school how !” As the name suggests, the purpose of the association is to promote interest and further participation in sports and outdoor pastimes. The girls who origi- nated the idea felt that the benefits and enjoyment they had received from clean playing in the sunshine and fresh air should be secured to as many students as possible. Cnited effort always brings the best results. With this in mind, baseball, basketball, tennis, and swimming enthusiasts have banded together to encourage a more wide-spread participation in outdoor activities. The best idea of the aim of the association may be derived from a thorough reading of its constitu- tion. a copy of which is posted on the bulletin board in the gymnasium. For outsiders who can not judge our objects this way. the best idea we can give may be expressed in the following words: We of this organization encourage, sup- port. and further all sports and pastimes that tend to the physical, moral and mental fitness of womanhood. In the selection of its first officers the club made a very wise choice. Under capable management the association has already planned some out-of-school affairs, and very soon we may expect to hear big things of this newest and largest club. I'auc Sixty-eight Girls l?igl) rfjool Journal June, 1920 HELEN STRINGER MARIANNE FRIEND Tennis Tennis this term was one of the major sports. At a meeting held at the be- ginning of the term Helen Stringer was elected manager. Practice took place twice a week. Thursday was devoted to advanced players and Friday to be- ginners. Much talent was shown by the girls who reported on Thursday, and beginners in their enthusiasm more than crowded the court on Friday. Inter- class as well as interscholastic games will be played as usual. There will be no school team but the class teams will play a team of their corresponding class from another school. The schedule for this term is: Seniors vs. Commerce and Lowell. Juniors vs. Commerce and Polytechnic. Sophomores vs. Mission and Lowell. Freshmen vs. Polytechnic and Mission. Swimming Manager, Marianne Friend. Last term swimming practice was held at Sutro Baths every 1 hursday atter- noon. The swimmers were divided into two classes and Miss Sheffield instructed the advanced and Miss Wheaton the beginners. No “meet” was held but prac- tice was kept up. Instruction in life saving and diving was interchanged with swimming practice so that tin routine did not become monotonous. The girls show remarkable improvement in their swimming and many of the beginners are now advanced swimmers. This term the interclass tryouts were held on May 13th and 20th. and the interseholastie contest was held on May 27th. It is due to the earnest efforts of Miss Sheffield and Miss Wheaton that Girls High has been prominent in swim- ming meets in the past and it is to be hoped that it will keep up its good record in the future. CStrls School Journal .1 i n k, 19 2 0 Page Sixty-nine Baseball More lively than tennis, safer than football, simpler than golf, and more scientific than polo, baseball has come to be recognized as the king of outdoor sports. It is universal in its appeal and interest. It is no idle pastime, for the players get invigorating exercise besides wholesome recreation. Baseball is a sincere, honest, straightforward game and the players get out of it what they put into it. 1 he spirit of the game uplifts and strengthens the players morally and physically. The training rules are healthful as well as disciplinary. They include regu- lations which should be observed by everyone whether a baseball enthusiast or not. About sixty girls have turned out for baseball and we find splendid material among the recruits. They show a willingness to learn and to work hard, strong determination to fight and to win, and a great big love for the game itself. Regular baseball practice under training rules began April 5, 1920, and will continue until May 2fi when the last game is played. We play under outdoor rules but with a modified diamond of forty-five feet. The teams consist of thirteen girls who are chosen for their efficiency and vivacity. The general Manager of Baseball is Eleanor Lyser, and the class Seniors, Marie Pope; for the Juniors, Wanda Plincz; for Fusier ; and for the Freshmen, Margaretta von llusen. Six interclass games are to be played. The schedule with outside schools is as follows: managers are. for the the Sophomores, Cecile May 5—G. May 10—0. May 12—G. May 18—G. May 21—G. May 24—G.

Lee Basketball Basketball is one of the well-known and well-liked sports of Girls High. Al- though the game may be played either on an indoor or outdoor court, the girls have played but one game indoors during the past term. Basketball encourages the love for the out of door life and our sunny California weather. The training rules not only bring glory and honor to the girls but also svs- tematie habits of daily life, a neat and healthy appearance, and a desire for good sportsmanship. The training rules are strictly enforced and observed by all girls who wish to play and make the basketball team. The Senior girls. M. Cohn. G. Colombat. M. Rothstein. A. Rude, and II. Sosnick. who have played on the team for four years and have kept the training rules were presented with gold block “G” pins by .Miss Rosenberg, on behalf of the Student Body of Girls High. An interclass championship schedule was played with the following results: the Seniors defeated the Juniors and the Sophomores defeated the Freshmen in the first games. The final championship game was played and the Senior team under the able captainship of Augusta Rude, brought honor and the silver cup to Ihe Class of June '20 by defeating the Sophomores. Interscholastic championship games were also played and again the famous Senior team of Girls High brought glory and victory to our school and the Class of June ’20. The members of the Senior team are A. Rude. G. Colombat. M. Rothstein, M. Colin, 11.'Sosnick. B. Munter, II. Selling. E. Storti. E. Valencia, and E. Wein- slienk.

I’nder the aide direction of Airs. .Mary McGlade the orchestra has assisted in making successful the plays given by the Dramatic Club.

This society, though one of the youngest, has become one of the most important organizations of Girls High, ft plays a more important part in the daily life of its members than any other of the activities except athletics. The primary function of the Debating Society is to cultivate independence, and individual and collective initiative in its members. It performs this func- tion through teaching Parliamentary 1'sage and the aid of debating. It is unnecessary to tell of the achievements of the members in winning the championship of San Francisco in Debating last term. This term, believing that if Girls High is to hold her place among the high schools of the city, she must have a strong moral foundation on which to stand, the members have added an Amendment to their Constitution making it compulsory for all girls who wish to attend the meetings to pledge themselves to refrain from cheating in their school work. The debating activities of tin Society this term have taken the form of Inter- class debates for the cup so generously donated by .Mr. Raphael Weill. The Senior team, Esther Caukin and Seville Smith, was the victor. The club takes this opportunity of thanking our faculty advisers. Miss llobe. Mr. Dupuy and Mr. Zeidler, for their valuable aid to the Society. The Reading Club When this term opened a large number of third and fourth year girls were looking forward to enjoying Miss Armer's splendid interpretation of the works of eminent dramatists.

A pleasant hour is spent every Monday afternoon from three to four o’clock in Room 218 by a group of workers eager to learn more of this fascinating art. Xo special talent is needed and membership is open to all. Girls who are interested in this line of work should seize the opportunity to gain wider knowledge of this beneficial study, for every girl expects in the future to own a home, and in order to make this home a silent expression of her personality she should have some knowledge of the fundamental rules of interior dec- orating art. The Dramatic Club The Dramatic Club of the Girls High School, in pursuance of its usual custom, met early this term to elect officers. They are: Lois Merwin. Presi- dent : Ruth Bransten. Vice-President; Frances Friend, Secretary, and Miss Stark, Treasurer. The work of the Club this semester will be confined to a rally of two or three short plays, among which will be “The Barringtons at Home.” Mrs. Tharp lias kindly consented to give the girls any assistance which may be needed to make this rally a success. The girls who take part will have gained valuable ex- perience for the regular Dramatic Club play which will probably take place next fall.

An old clerk asked his employer for an increase in wages. The employer counter-attacked with the following barrage of logic: “You admit there are only 365 days in a year? You work only eight hours a day; therefore, there are sixteen hours a day you do not work. This amounts to 244 days in a year, leaving 121 days. There are fifty-two Sundays, leaving sixty-four days; you work only a half day on Saturdays, amounting to twenty- six days, leaving forty-three days. You take one hour each day for lunch, making sixteen days, leaving twenty-seven days. You take two weeks’ vacation with pay, amounting to fourteen days, leaving thirteen days. There are twelve legal holidays, leaving one day, and that day being St. Patrick’s Day, you do not come to work.” Pat Geen—We took a tramp thru’ the woods the other day.

Fill Graduation Day with happiness for her by giving her that thing dear to women—a “surprise.” And let your “surprise” be a soft, rich, exquisite fur, because there is nothing that will delight her more.
