Alice Ewing NC'E upon a time in a certain city, there lived a sweet little girl named Jane-Elizabeth-Edith. She had beautiful golden curls, won- socks and even knew how to ride a “ Kiddie-Kar.” Her mother was very fond of her and gave her everything she wished. But still she was not satisfied. One day, as she sat playing with her doll, she let her thoughts travel hack over the eight preceding years. How well she remembered the day that a wander- ing minstrel had sung to her of a most wonderful Palace! He sang of the spacious halls and rooms where one could roam at ease. He sang of the sunny court where girls played games and romped in frolicsome glee. There, his song went on, there one could have a glorious time and still become wise and great. But he could not tell her where it was. Each night she had dreamed of this Palace—dreamed that she was there amidst the throng of happy girls—only to awake and find it was not true. And then one night a beautiful princess had ap- peared to her and had told her that if she would work hard for eight long years her dream would come true. Today was the last, day of the eight years. She wondered if there had really been a princess or if she had just dreamed that too. But no—suddenly there ap- peared that beautiful princess clothed in a shimmering gown of silver. She could hardly believe her eyes. Then, like music from some unseen instrument—a voice spoke to her. “Eight years ago I told you how you could make your dream come true. During those eight years I have watched you try to do my bidding. And now that you have succeeded so well, your wish shall he granted.” And taking Jane-Elizabeth-Edith by the hand, the princess led her away to this wonderful Palace of Learning—the Girls High School. So runs the story of the Freshman class of June ’25. Page Eight MARION CANFIELD President HIGH FROSH OFFICERS President.........................Marion Canfield Vice-President .......

But, great grief, their gladness was soon turned to sadness. They were mere scrubs—mistreated, misunderstood, unappreciated. Older girls looked down upon them. Their lives were an almost impossible round of hazardous experiences through which they managed to pass after a struggle of six months and to emerge victorious, though battle-scarred. Episode X The heroines have now arrived at the more respectable age of High Fresh- men. No longer are their elders able to east that eye of disdain upon them. No longer do they quake in fear when a Senior passes. No longer are they frightened to death of everybody and everything. Now they have a say in the government of that institution in which they reside, in the person of fifth representative. Now they can see that some of their bright ideas put before the executive committee, and of course the said “bright ideas” are always accepted! Why. most of the members of the Jazz Orchestra—the hit of season—are the members of the class! Who can dispute the class spirit and eizaringo that the members displayNow at least they can look at the Low Frosh and sav: “Just wait until you have had as much experience in the ways of school as we.” But they are still martyrs in face of the fact that they can be called Fresh- men and they are concentrating every effort to lose that name forever. So it goes.

What can I do for you this morning?” “We just heard that everyone has been telling you all about her class and we just thought we had better let you know that the High Sophs were all ready with some good information too.” “That's just right. Better fall in line with the rest. “Well, let's see. What is the most interesting activity at Girls High this term?” “Why debating, of course.” “Oh, that's easy. Everybody knows that Ruth Clouse and Angelina Giaca- loni are members of our class, and they’re some debaters, too.” “Yes. that faet sure does speak good for December, '2d. How about athletics?” “On the tennis courts, Adaline Loeb and Bessie Allanberg swing mean rac- quets. In baseball last term we were well represented on the Sophomore nine. Margaret von Husen was captain and second baseman; Helen Imobersteg and Adaline Loeb were at home in the pitcher’s box; Ruth Clouse ever waiting for sizzling grounders to come her way, was a fine little shortstop: Barbara Mayer and Daisy Wong held outfield positions. The rest of the sports all attracted a num- ber of High Sophs.” “Some record! Well, that’s enough for any class to boast of. Keep up the good work.” “Thank you. We shall. So long.” “Good-bye.” Page Eleven vTfje Journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 BUELL CAREY President LOW JUNIORS Just to introduce to you the 3-A ('lass. PRESIDENT Quite adept with a bat is B.

I beg to present Yriva Drew, Who always gets A’s —yes, it’s true! It proves that she’s nice. For she’s held office twice; And I think she’s just splendid—don’t you SECRETARY There’s also a girl named Ruth Cheese— Oh, her name is too long, if you please! For as I am no bard. And the rhythm is hard. Go ask Ruth and she’ll tell you with ease! TREASURER The one thing that all classes need Is money, to pay for each deed. And a capable lass To collect it en masse, So that’s Carolyn Eshen. Agreed! YELL LEADER Ellie Claybourgh, though mentioned the last, Is far from the least in our cast. She’s so very athletic. It’s truly pathetic. But our love for dear ‘‘Ellie’’ is vast!

RUTH WALK I’resUlent F THERE is a more wonderful, greater, or better actress than Miss Glorious Three-Bee, please show her to me. It was my privilege to interview her after her performance in the phenomenally successful dramatic production, “Girls High Superschool.” She is, of course, that production, and having had some experience with stars, 1 began this way: “I have seen your new play, Miss Three-Bee. You were superb, hut I did not care about the rest of the cast.” (This is a subtle form of flattery that most stars like, but not so Glorious Three-Bee.) She answered generously: “Oh, they do their best. But of course, I am the mainstay of the play. It would close tomorrow if I were not in it.” “Why, Miss Three-Bee,” I cried in amazement, ignoring her last remark, “how unique you are among stars. You have no French accent.” A tear gathered in Miss Three-Bee’s eye and she shook her head sadly. “No,” she confessed, “1 have spent three long years to acquire one, hut it comes not.” The tear fell. “Yes,” she went on, “varied and hard have been my experiences since I worked myself up from playing juvenile in this play. That was three years ago, and after a hard struggle. I succeeded in getting the ‘ingenue’ part which I held for a year amid great difficulty. Then, through the ability of my present man- ager, Miss Ruth Wale. 1 became a star.” “And what d you intend to do next year, Miss Three-Bee?” I asked curiously. “Next year I shall make a series of farewell performances,” she answered, “after which I shall go abroad to try my luck in foreign climes.” “Will not the great play, ‘Girls High Superschool’ suffer without you?” I queried in consternation. “Undoubtedly,” she replied, “you see I unite dignity and ‘pep,’ brains and a vast experience—it would he impossible to replace me. Still,” she frowned slightly, “it may manage to exist without me—but I doubt it.” And thinking of the great talent of this remarkable young lady, I doubted it too! —Bernice Volante. Dec.

Discontented with the narrow bounds of grammar school, which had confined their i, talents, they looked forward to coming to this new institution with great hope and rejoicing. After a year of hard struggling, they found their lives still so autocratically restricted that they decided to revolt. In the Revolutionary War they were very successful. The peace treaty ordered that in the second year this hand of students was to he called the Sopho- more Class. Having become well established, June ’22 made rapid strides to fill its places in the school's political and social life. Soon it was found necessary to punish the Freshmen for infringing on Soph rights. This punishment being effected, the school was then forced to recognize June ’22. As a result of this struggle, a strong spirit of class loyalty swept over the students. They continued to grow in intellect and power. It was an “era of good feeling.” Under this influence a barn dance was given to the Freshmen. As all great societies have their difficulties, so had ’22. In the latter part of the Junior year, there was friction in politics over a dance and a rally. A Civil War then followed in which certain students advocated individual rights. However, President Shearer proved a veritable mainstay in this crisis, and the tide was immediately turned in favor of class spirit. The Emancipation Proclamation which was issued during this period put an end to all disputes. June ’22 embarked on its final year of full development and activity. It was a Senior Class! They now took a decided interest in the school affairs and varicus social functions followed, notable among which was the dance to a Foreign Element—Boys. But for a fuller treatment of the history of this class the reader is referred to the next edition.

After graduation, the Alumnae Association is the one link that hinds and holds together the friendships formed at Girls High School. No matter how- diverse their interests may be, members of the Alumnae find in this association, the means of reviving those ever-sweet recollections of school days. It is true that “a school is as strong as its alumnae” and the high seniors should not fail to recognize and to take advantage of this means of keeping alive their love of Girls High.

C. Page Thirty-six £lje journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 Page Thirty-eight CAPTURED HE first shadows of evening had fallen and already the evening star was twinkling against a background of deepest blue. The trees stood as sentinels, black and immovable. The silence was unbroken ex- cept by the chirping of crickets and the occasional bark of a dog in a village near by. Seated on a redwood stump, the girl looked up to the top of the knoll where her cabin stood, a black spot, infinitesimally small in comparison to the vast expanse of the heavens that formed an ever-changing background to it. As if trying to rival the silvery gleam of the star, a faint yellowish light shone in a tiny window. Stirring from her thoughts, the girl pictured a frail old man bent over his well-worn Bible before this light. She smiled bitterly as she realized her father was waiting for the latest news from the I'. S. soldiers in France, waiting to take from, her the paper whose glaring headlines fairly burnt the hand that held it. It was absolutely impossible to her that America, her land of dreams, supreme and foremost in the world’s civilization should be at war; nearly as barbaric and primal in its instinct to kill, as though millions of people had not worked and prayed through generations to present to the world a country fine and noble in all respects. Even in this tiny village a gold-starred flag hung in one of the windows and the mother that sat behind the Hag was patiently knitting for some other mother’s son. The girl’s eyes glistened with tears. What right had she to be so happy and contented when war was upon them in its grimmest aspect? She would cross the ocean, work night and day to relieve the wounded—labor and suffer with all the rest. She sighed as she realized the hopelessness of her thought, knowing well her duty lay in caring for her aged father. Pausing a moment before entering the cabin, the girl turned to gaze at the grandeur of the mountains. She looked down the slope where a few lights twinkled faintly and where the rest of the village already lay in darkness. Rais- ing her eyes, she locked to the mountains that formed a complete wall far as the eye could see. Suddenly at the top of the highest peak a strong and vivid light shone, but went out quickly, so quickly that the girl thought that she must have dreamed it. But no, slowly, again and again, the light Hashed in an uneven rhythm until she realized it must be a signal of some sort: and watching more intently, the girl saw the light was facing the side and shone out far past her vision. Suddenly, through her mind, rushed the stories of spies in America. Even she could see the possibility of signalling to an enemy submarine in the harbor, some seven miles away. Her eyes shone with happiness as she realized what that knowledge might mean to her country. Knowing well tin importance of getting a message immediately to the sheriff, the girl hurried to the little vil- lage and sent one of the boys, with a note, to the town. The sheriff, awakened from his evening nap, received the note with astonish- ment. Nothing, in all his experience as sheriff, had annoyed him quite so much. Duty stared him in the face, but his comfort came first in all things. So settling buck in bis easy chair, he put tin note in his pocket, promising himself to attend to the matter first thing in the morning. • • � • Even though going at quite a leisurely rate of speed, the yellow roadster caused quite a cloud of dust, and the soldier at the wheel had assumed a look of boredom that was nearly annoyance. Seven miles over a rough road was not con- ducive to create good spirits in the most cheerful person, and Whitney Brooks was not in the best frame of mind. To he sent home from France because of an injured arm was a great disappointment to the boy, but to he sent to the country and allowed to do nothing except trail an ancient sheriff around and assist him in keeping “heathenish” Ikivs from enjoying a well-loved swimming pool, was adding insult to injury. “And now,” he thought, “some country girl, who secretly has been reading detective stories, has seen a spy signalling. Probably a fire-Hy.” He added a disgusted grunt to the rattling of the car over the im- possible road. Whitney was just plain bored with the world and as he “jammed” on the brakes he little expected the sight that greeted him. Standing like some spirit of the woods against a background of trees and undergrowth was a girl so exquisitely beautiful that the boy stared in amazement. Dressed in a simple brown dress her golden curls pinned high on her head, the girl stared in equal amazement. She had been standing there tor an hour, wait- ing for the sheriff to drive his rickety buggy to her gate, but to have this hero arrive—all soldiers were heroes in her eyes—was startling, to say the least. “Good morning,” smiled the boy, his ill humor slipping from him. “I'm from tin sheriff—my name’s Brooks—Whitney Brooks. Your name—and we’ll be properly introduced.” The girl smiled faintly and answered in the sweet voice the. soldier knew would belong to her—“June Klvirdge. Whitney was de- lighted—of course her name would be June. Suddenly lie felt foolishly clumsy and the words, so recently at his tongue’s end, seemed to have disappeared. But June took matters in her own bands. As she related her story, W hitney found himself watching her graceful motions and the golden curl that the wind had loosened. A German spy was the subject, and Whitney forced himself to listen intently. Promising to return with the sheriff in the evening and take her with them up the steep road that led to the spot where June had seen the light. Whitney again started his car with as much reluctance as before, but in a far better humor. The bumps in the road were nothing to him now. And back at the cabin, the girl told her father all that had happened and the color in her cheeks and sparkle in her eyes could not all be blamed on the spy. “That boy sure has changed his ideas,” murmured the old sheriff as he listened to the boy’s earnest story. That evening the aged father sat by his lamp reading, after the two ma- chines had left for the mountains. lie smiled faintly at his own excitement.

Suddenly June’s voice ran out: “How can 1 ever thank you—Mr. Brooks”—A gruff whisper inter- rupted—the sweet voice went on a little more softly—“I mean Whitney. And to think that I have captured a German spy!” Her father rejoiced at her words, hut failed to catch the answer.

No matter how hateful these appear to Dad, there comes a time in the life of every young son when his one great ambition is to own a eutdown, and, judging hv the number found on our highways, most of the boys succeed in gaining “their heart’s desire.” Such a fortunate youth was our young hero. Tommy Win. His eutdown, the envy of all the other youths of the town, was really a remarkable work of art. The main body was painted a most brilliant green, but Tommy’s can of paint evidently gave out. and, finding himself unable to match the shade, he painted the seats a lighter and much less startling hue. A pair of disc wheels, in color bright red. was proudly exhibited in the front, but alas! two rather worn and shabby wheels of the common wooden spoke variety were forced to do service in the back. The proud possessor of this eutdown speedily became the Beau Bruimnel of the town. The fair damsels beamed cordially on Tom in the hope of receiving an invitation to ride. But although Tommy was awfully good company at parties, dancing with all the girls, and even occasionally asking one to ride in his precious car, as yet no girl could proudly testify that he was “her beau” until—but I am afraid I am going ahead too fast, and must stop and tell you of the arrival in town of Margot White. Margot was one of those girls that, somehow, one just can’t describe. She seemed just a fluff of golden hair and blue eyes, eyes that sort of melted into yours, and a hand so soft, that when you took it, you were afraid of crushing it. Tom met her at a dance, and from then on, his only thought was to see her, and escort her to the movies, and take her riding in the car. The eutdown gave him a decided advantage over her other suitors, and life seemed very bright to Tom. One evening he called for Margot, and they went motoring. Tom had spent all day oiling and cleaning the eutdown. and it seemed in better running condition than ever. They raced along the road, Tom demon- strating his skill as a speed demon. This little burst of recklessness seemed to give him courage, and, slowing down, he faced Margot with determination in his eyes, and endeavored to tell her of his love. Fate was cruel to our hero, for just at the critical moment in his appeal, the car backfired, quivered, and came to a most unexpected and disheartening stop. Margot was, of course, greatly excited, and Tom was forced “to get out and get under” and investigate the trouble. A leaking gas tank told its own sad tale, and, with no garage for miles around, the unfortunates were obliged to get out, and begin a long, dreary walk towards home. ITljc Journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 Page Forty-one IE1)t Journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 Tom vainly tried to bring the conversation back to where it had been so rudely interrupted, but Margot would have none of it. Having on a new, and consequently tight, pair of shoes, she was not thrilled at the idea of walking, and her anger found expression in reproaches, scoldings, and womanly sarcasm, all of which were hurled at innocent Tom. Therefore, it was with a great sense of relief that both of them viewed the lights and streets of the sleeping town. Tom was no longer a frequent visitor at the White’s, and the cutdown, which he regarded as the destroyer of his happiness, was put on sale. The new owner was delighted with the bargain he had been so fortunate in making, and let us hope that the cutdown brought him more happiness than it did to our disap- pointed and heartbroken hero. —Gladyce Arata.

When the conductor reached the last individual, he found her vigorously stirring up the contents of a grip. By her actions, together with her appearance, she attracted much attention. From the tip of the tallest feather on her hat, and thence downward to the bottom of her feet, she was clad in brown. What a play on that colorful term! I doubt if the word, itself, ever before realized the host of shades that came under its name. After a pair of slippers, almost orange, a pair of oxblood stockings was the next offense to my eye. Then a skirt of golden brown material showed beneath the coat of nigger brown. The grip on her lap was a faded brown with streaks of yellow on its surface. Above this a tan jacket protruded from the opening of the coat. A strip of mink fur thrust itself into view below the buff-colored scarf about her neck. Her skin was even darker than cream, and a pair of light brown eyes looked out from under some stray locks of hair, nearly red, but still in the neighborhood of brown. Finally, a turban of chocolate brown velvet and various shades of feathers crowned her head. She was not stout. For this, we may be thankful, for, in that case, she prob- ably could have added other brown accessories to her person. I had time to ascertain all this before she produced the sought-for purse which, incidentally, was brown, thus showing her hands encased in gloves of a shade very closely related to sand. Very much unconcerned as to the attention she attracted, she handed the conductor a nickel, and settled back to ride the re- maining block with an easy mind. When she got off the car, she displayed a Hat leather case which was plainly for music. It, also, was brown. I was supposed to have somewhat of a “bug on harmony.” My family dis- covered this when I was but a small child. At a luncheon where the decorations were all pink, I discovered that the cold-boiled ham was of the prevailing color scheme. In consequence, my relations kindly decided that I should be an interior decorator, and that the key-note of my personality was color. These relatives would probably have had the woman in brown removed from the car. lest her inharmonious dress clash upon my nerves. However, I was by myself, and the interest she created started my imagination. In my spare moments I contemplated upon this woman, and idly scratched on a pad the names of the shades she wore and was dumbfounded at the number— russet, ox-blocd, golden brown, nigger, tan, buff, chocolate, sand and leather browns. I began to wonder whether browns were her hobby or her occupation. My conclusion to my musing was that she was unmarried, lived alone, and was a music teacher. Was not the music case a sign of the latter? Alas, my thoughts were not consistent for I could not conceive of anyone’s understanding the har- mony of music, with no conception of color harmony. I satisfied this thought by tTlje journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 Page Forty-five nrijc Journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 Page Forty-six remembering that people with temperaments usually sacrificed dress to art. They say a person shows his character through his hobbies. Her hobby for browns made her a curious genius. She must be—according to my conjectures—both forgetful and untidy from the way she hunted through her grip. She had looked at the conductor patron- izingly—as I remembered—when she handed him the nickel, as much as to say, “Take it. dear.” I concluded that she was one of those individuals who marches into the foyer of a theatre at the last quarter of the minute before the curtain rises, exclaiming to her waiting friends, “Oh, girls—so sorry to keep you waiting, but I just dis- covered the most wonderful bargain in bronze taffeta petticoats for only $2.98. Of course, I couldn't let it go by. You didn’t mind waiting, I am sure.” On many consecutive mornings I saw her, and my conjectures grew and grew. Sometimes the nigger brown coat was replaced by a taupe cape, and again, she wore a suit of reindeer brown. She possessed many hats, all of which looked like “home brews.” They were all brown, and brown all over. She wore brown beads, carried brown bags, and a brown umbrella. I am sure she had a brown lap dog at home. She radiated brown. If her color had been determined by violet rays, it would certainly have been brown, or, at least, yellow. One morning she did not get on the car at her usual corner, and I began to feel lonesome right away. I looked out the car window, and saw her running down the hill. When she saw the crowd getting on the car. she walked the rest of the way quite leisurely, so leisurely that she missed the car. Her face fell as fiat and as suddenly as a first cake. This gave me a little more of her character: It told me that she had an air of self-importance. I forgave the latter, feeling that a genius of her type should receive more recognition. After having seen her almost every morning for several months. 1 began to speak to her, thus discovering her voice a very sweet one. Then I was convinced that she gave vocal lessons. I did not think myself bold when I went so far as to say that it was a nice day. Regular performers on Powell Street car straps are apt to get quite chummy with their fellow sufferers. 1 was still conjecturing on the size of her home and its location when one morning she was addressed by a very large self-important man who boarded the ear at the St. Francis Hotel. “How do you do, Mrs. Brown?”—At this T became so weak that it took all my strength to bear me up—“Do you remember me?” “Of course, I do,” she said,—“Mr. Charles Ingram of New York. When did you come to the Golden State?” He replied that he was starting one of his factories in San Francisco, and was then cn his way to visit her office to obtain a factory system. 1 descended from the car dazed, bewildered, and crushed. I sort of wished I was a dog. and could slink away out of sight. Of course, I had told no one of my imaginings concerning “My Lady of the Browns.” but the blow to my vanity made me feel like a criminal. Her name was Brown. She was a systematizer. The music case was a brief case. Each thought struck me as a separate blow. I admitted that my power of discerning human nature was not my greatest asset. I knew, then, that I would never make a detective. My mind lingered over the thought that this woman was a systematizer. 1 understood it all not— that she was even trying to systematize her dress, but had not perfected it yet. Over and over, to myself, I repeated, “Even her name is Mrs. Brown.” —Geraldine Knight, Junt ’22 JEfjc Journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 Sonnet on Reward Reward! What is it?

One no sooner finishes geometry than our college recs raise their gentle heads and cry “What about us?” Avis Nelson and Gloria Cooksley announce that they will open a club for the cultivation of good reading. They plan to alternate books to bring out the comparison—for instance—First there will he a Scott and Dickens, and then a Robert W. Chambers or Zane Grey. However, it is thought that Scott anti Dickens are so long that they will be read in condensed editions—a la Book of Knowledge. The other books will be read in their charming( ?) entirety. Speaking of condensed classics, we wonder why some bright person does not revise our poetry as well as our prose, so that the poor, overworked student doesn’t have to spend so much time wondering what the poet meant? Merely to show that it can be done, we add a few examples by our poetic selves. Gray’s Elegy—Some poor farmers are buried here. They did not make a great splash in life, but don’t knock them. They never had a chance. Rabbi Ben Ezra—(Browning)—This poem shows a ease of sour grapes. An old fellow gets jealous of youth, but seeing that he has to make the best of it, he tries to make us believe that it’s great to he old. We do not contend that these offerings possess as much of the spirit and language of the original, but they are as good as the condensed works of Scott and Dickens in the “Book of Knowledge” or “Fifty Famous Condensed Classics.” WHAT’S IN A NAME? Ruth W(h)ale is far from being large. Marion Belle, it is said, never lived over a 1’ond. Othella Burner is not at all fiery. Estelle’s sunny smile surely contradicts her Black name.

It would not be a bad idea, for all to wear this becoming shade, as the juice of an orange often reaches far and wide. For the tea-drinking gossips, Joseph has originated many new tea gowns. Each gown represents a different beverage—as chocolate, coffee, and orange pekoe or English breakfast. It saves the waiter’s asking undetermined misses, their choice, and also saves the great problem of choosing, and in so doing, missing the latest tid-bits of gossip. For those not on a diet, the chocolate gown is the most popular. Fringe and monkey fur are very much in vogue. These are very convenient for disguising a girl as a pomeranian or airedale, when she wishes to cut school for the afternoon. After much discussion, Bloch’s decided that the faces should he made up in the deadliest white, as the old proverb is “A rouged face cannot excuse you from gym or recitation.” Black frocks are. therefore, popular for bringing out greater pallor in the face.

Dec. ’21 Page Fifty-one £lje journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 Page Fifty-two The Tears of Ayche AR, far away in the north, there is a rugged mountain range cleft by a picturesque valley through which flows the beautiful Chehatchee River. This river is broken by many waterfalls—the most beautiful of which is Wawona, or, as it is sometimes called, “The Tears of Ayche.” This name was given it by the brave Saboba Indians who inhabited that region for many years. The origin of the name of the waterfall “Tears of Ayche” is attributed to the following legend: Young Ayche, the most beautiful Indian maiden of her tribe, was about to become the wife of Arrow Head, the great warrior. She was passionately in love with him, and counted the hours until the time should come when she would go to him and live in peace and contentment. The marriage day arrived and, amid much feasting and celebrating, Ayche became the wife of the renowned Arrow Head, around whose belt hung the scalps of many a foe. One day, great excitement arose when a wounded Indian runner dragged him- self into the village with the alarming news that their old enemies, the Ipaho, were on the war-path and their chief, Lone Wolf, had vowed never to return until the last of the Sabobas had been killed or captured. Undaunted by Lone Wolf’s boast, Arrow Head gathered his warriors about him and set out to rout their enemies. The village was now deserted except for the squaws, children and the old Indians, whose fighting days had passed. Ayche and the other Indian maidens anxiously awaited the outcome of the battle, for they knew if their warriors were defeated it meant capture, possibly death or slavery for them. Each day they gathered at the summit of Black Hawk Hill to await the return of the warriors, or at least news of the battle, and each day the suspense became more terrible. Days passed and still no news. One evening, just as the sun was sinking behind the hills, Ayche and her companions suddenly perceived clouds of dust arising from the hoofs of an ap- proaching band of horsemen. As they drew nearer, it was the proud figure of Lone Wolf, and not that of Arrow Head, that headed the band, and the hearts of the watchers were filled with dismay. The worst had befallen them. They were doomed to captivity. Ayche, along with the rest of the squaws was carried off to the camp of Lone Wolf. They smeared their faces and hair with pitch and ashes—the symbol of widow’s mourning among the Sabobas. When Spring came the widowed squaws removed the pitch and ashes as a sign that their period of mourning was at an end, and to show their willingness to remarry. All did this except Ayche, who removed hers only to replace it again for she could not re- marry and remain true to her beloved Arrow Head. This angered Lone Wolf since he had singled her out for his own. Her beauty had not escaped him and he vowed that she should become his wife. He approached her as she sat grinding corn one day, and bade her come to his teepee. She knew what this meant and could not bear to have another take the place of Arrow Head. She looked at the proud figure of Lone Wolf beckon- ing her to his wigwam. Desperate, she turned and fled, fleet as a deer, through the thickets down towards the waterfall. Wawona’s rush and roar called to her as the one means of escape. Poised on the brink, she east one backward glance at the enraged and pursuing Lone Wolf, then gazing heavenward, she stretched out both arms as though embracing a figure, and with a wild leap, cast herself over the precipice into the raging torrents and was seen no more. Lone Wolf was foiled and Ayehe joined Arrow Head in the Happy Hunting Grounds. The “Tears of Ayehe” were all that remained; a perpetual symbol of the great sacrifice of the Indian maiden to remain faithful to her husband. —Cliispa Barnes, Dec. ’22 Cfie Journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 To a Star Shrouded in mystery, proud and haughty star Where, from the heavens, thou dost ever gaze On us, who view thee only through a haze.

The driveway which leads to this home is bordered on each side by two rows of beautiful oaks. They together that their spreading branches are entwined, and the great quantity of soft moss forms a thick covering over them all. The house itself is very delapidated now, and the once beautiful garden is overgrown with weeds, but there had been a time, in the long ago, when the rooms echoed with the laughter of young voices, and the stately oaks spread their arms protectingly over young lovers strolling arm in arm along the paths. The only occupant of the place is an old negro mammy, who lives in a tiny cabin near the big house. If you go to her some afternoon she will tell you this story: “Dis here place, honey, once b’longed to Jedge Langdon, mail ole massa.

Jedge Langdon did ebrything he could ter give Marse Khariton a good time, an he slio’ did succeed. Dere wuz pahties, mos’ ebry night, an’ hunts, an’ boat rides, an’ hossback ridin’ in de day- time. But Marse Khariton, he didn’t kere what wuz goin’ on, jes so’s missy wuz wid him. By de end oh de summah, dey wuz jes’ as good as engaged. Missy drooped lak a rose when he lef, but she write letters to him mos’ ebry day. Well, dat spring de war bruk out, an’ de jedge, he tole missy dat she mus’ neber see Marse Khariton agin, or write no mo’ letters to him. Po’ missy, dat nea’ly bruk her heart, an’ she neber write no mo’ letters. Dere is other ways ob bearin’ from folks besides letters, an’ if I ain’t mistook, missy used dat other way. “Time went on. an’ de war kep’ gettin’ wus an’ wus for de Southern gen’le- men, cause de Yankee sojers wuz killin ’em right an’ lef’. One day, a reg’ment of ’em come to St. Andrew’s and Jedge Langdon, he had ter gib ’em supper dat night. One sojer perticeler I noticed a-actin’ mighty queer, so I jes’ kep’ mah eye on him. He wouldn’t go near any ob de fambly, and when I seen him ketch little missy’s eye an’ seen her nod her head, den I knew he wuz Marse Tom Khariton. I watched ’em close. Dey wuz gone frum de room a good time, an’ when dey came back I s’pected sumpin’ wuz up. “Well, honey, when I went to Missy’s room de next mornin’ dere wuz no missy. Ole massa neah ’bout had a fit. lie went stompin’ roun’ de house a-callin’ ‘Rosamond! Rosamond!’ as if his heart ’ud break. She’d lef’ a note sayin’ she are so close Iieil run away ter git married ter Marse Tom, an’ unless her daddy would forgive her an’ him, she would never come back. “Ole jedge, he wuz so proud dat he said he would never forgive ’em, so dere it stood; but he used ter go up an’ down underneath dose dere trees a-callin’ ‘Rosamond! Rosamond!’ all de time. “One day, in de las’ yeah o’ de war, when Sherman wuz down heali, ole massa insulted a Yankee so.jer, an’ some men come to tak’ him to jail. Dey car- ried him to de cotehouse, an’ de massa he wuz taken to Marse Khariton! Widout another word de jedge wuz set free for de sake of his daughtah. Ole massa for- give him right off, an’ missy, who wuz way up North, wuz sent for right away. “But when dey wrote fo’ her, it wuz too late. She tuk sick an’ died w’le her husban’ wuz in de South, an’ we neber saw her agin.

She might be a tall, pretty girl whose voice you rave about; a girl with light bobbed hair, who is so eute, or possibly a red-headed young miss who is just grand. But in any ease, she is the idol of your heart, the crowning queen of all your ideals. We who are sane and keep our acts of love, honor and devotion for a future date, look with pitying eyes upon you unfortunate humans who persist in spend- ing your month’s allowance in gifts for—HER. To you the world is cru_______el, unloving, bleak, if SHE doesn’t enthusiastically fall upon you in thanks for your gifts. A word to the wise is sufficient they say and there is always some one who sees you, hears you, and really thinks to herself “How do they get that way?” However, the alarming symptoms of this particular branch of heart trouble are a violent trembling, a loud beating heart and a face which rivals a lobster for color when—SHE approaches. Added to this is a great loss of appetite and many sleepless nights thinking, thinking, thinking of—HER. It the ALL HIGH ONE condescends to exchange a few words of greeting with you. your loyal classmates must carry you off the field as your legs refuse to do anything so menial as walk—after that! Then follows a constant raving of her unequaled charms to your best friend upon her promise of “Cross my heart to die never to tell. All in all, the suspense is almost overpowering. If she said Ben Turpin was her idea of a perfect lover you’d give Wally Reid the cold shoulder and send for Ben’s autographed photo. If SHE went home to lunch and you lived reasonably near you’d go home too. For a hot lunch? No, vanish the thought. Didn’t you walk with HER? Then on the far horizon appears a sun far more dazzling than the one now shining in your heart and—with a splash—you fall again. Yet they say Women aren’t Fickle. —Catherine Dollard, June ’22 Page Fifty-six lEfje Journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 Page Fifty-eight FALL TERM-1921 August 1—School opened. With Spartan courage we forsook our joyous frolics and happy gambols in the country and returned to???? More unsuspect- ing. unenlightened, individuals were added to the ranks of the already suf- fering and deluded students that we are. 8—Programs changed. Just when we had succeeded in making our pro- grams work smoothly, and had re- signed ourselves to the inevitable, we were suddenly plunged once more in- to confusion. Why, oh why, must we mere mortals have more time to eat ? 18—Pig tail day. It was a great day because it was the only one on which “we’uns” could look as we did and eat when, we did and “get away with it.” The temporary shortening of skirts seemed to have effected our in- tellect in the same way. PI—Freshman reception. Seniors and Freshmen met to dance, but re- mained to eat. Now let us all rise and sing that touching little ditty en- titled “It’s a great life if you don’t weaken.” 24—A little yelling plus a little singing, plus a ‘‘lotta speeches, plus a “lotta” sleeping contributed much to the success of the first student body meeting of the term. We wish that Alice-in-Wonderland would “tip us off as to where we can obtain that precious liquid that makes one shrink. On such occasions as this one we certainly would have appreciated it, because for every seat there were at least three eager, would-be occup- ants. 25—New Traffic Squad. Teachers relinquish their posts in the corridors to students. Now it is chaos where it was cnee turmoil, but remember that “Hope springs eternal in the human breast. ’ ’ September 1—The Labor Unions, Rah! Rah! Rah! 9—We shut off the alarm clock and took a few more hours off, secure in the knowledge that we wouldn’t re- ceive an invitation for a social gath- ering after school for five nights. 21—After a free-for-all bout that lasted nearly a week, a few individ- uals emerged safe and strong enough to plan for the school paper. 23—The 4A Tea. The setting—A dark room. The time—Daytime. The place—Room 118. Object—A tea. The result—Only they can tell. The 2A dance to the Freshmen. 2 A—1A IA—2A Which way. Either way. Both ways. Good-day. Hooray! 27—Candy sale for the Journal. “Every bag a bullet.” 30—Big debate. G. II. S. vs. Mis- sion. “G. II.

The only regret seems to have been that approximately 150 hours were lost to the god Morpheus. 26— We saw “Quality Street,” when Miss Virginia Wiles presented it, as we had always hoped to see it. 27— Second candy sale. Another busy day for the undertakers. And speaking of undertakers, don’t forget to patronize our advertisers. 28— The 4A-4B dance.

The Journal went to press. 9— Once again the peace of the school is disturbed as the Seniors be- gin to learn a song, “The Right Flat, but the Wrong Key.” 10— Armistice Day exercises. 11— Legal Holiday. 16—Field Day. With the dear old thermometer registering 10 below zero (more or less) we wrapped ourselves up in furs anil woolens and, heroines that we are. we braved the frigid at- mosphere. We sat, entranced as it were in the doings of our fair athletes, but this effect was really only an op- tical illusion produced by the weather. The 3B Class won the loving cup filled with all our love. 18—We are thrifty. We are very thrifty. In fact, we are so exceeding- ly thrifty that we very thriftily won the first two places in the Thrift Con- test. Bertha Altmann and Estelle Manheimi were the thrifty damsels who won these thrifty prizes. 24—It is comparatively easy to give Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving Day when the thanksgiving can be done at home and away from all temples of learning. It is safe to say that on that day every member of our most esteemed school went through the IDfie “Journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 Page Fifty-nine ?£f)c Journal proper and approved forms.

December 1—Since it is a long accepted fact that nourishment is vital to human ex- istence, and since it is well thought of and extensively practiced throughout the known parts of the world, we, the members of the 4B Class decided to make a public demonstration of our hearty approval of this theory. To the tune of “The Cracked Plate Tod- dle,’7 a very attractive menu was served—take or leave it: Gasoline cocktail, tar-weed salad with a special codliver oil dressing, consomme en tasse, Swedish tripe with Spanish lemonade and frozen fui-fui. (Every- one enjoyed herself.) (English De- partment please take note.) Any Friday, lectures on everything con- cerning a bank except how to crack a safe or forge a check were delivered in minute detail every Friday. Inven- tors who could find a way by which we could take such lectures by absent treatment, please apply. 14—Graduation. The strains of Aida were more than just music. They were the strains which sounded the liberation of, the deliverance of, the redemption of sixty-six souls weary with the strug- gle and strife of four long years.

Today it is 1300. Whether the great increase in attendance is due to the compulsory education law passed two years ago, or whether parents are realizing more fully the value of education, one cannot tell. Hut no matter what the reason may be, the Girls High School is crowded—crowded to its capacity. A school built and equipped for not more than a thousand pupils is now finding itself forced to accommodate 1300. And what has been the result? With an increase in the high school atten- dance, more and more responsibilities are being placed on the pupils themselves, and the girls have adapted themselves to changes with very good spirit. Through the executive committee of the Associated Student Hody, various plans have been formulated and tried to find the best way to secure student co-operation in matters of discipline. The cafeteria, yards, and corridors are kept clean and tidy through the efforts of the various classes put in charge. The traffic in the halls is reg- ulated by a committee of girls, and a great step has been made towards self-reli- ance. A great deal, however, remains to be done. There are still girls who persist in breaking rules made for their own good and the good of the school. Intentionally or not, they are selfishly hindering the development of a finer expression of true school spirit. Why could not girls take care of the study hall and auditorium? There isn’t any reason why girls of high school age couldn’t have such standards as would prove their fitness to live up to necessary rules of discipline. Every- body would have to appoint herself a committee of one and see that that commit- tee did its duty as an integral part of the committee of the whole. Impossible as it may sound, the time could come when the Girls High School could be taken as a model of student co-operation. Again we repeat that Girls High School is crowded. So are all the other high schools in San Francisco. But our beautiful building, with its large, bright, and airy corridors and rooms, its fine equipment and splendid spirit of courtesy and consideration of students and faculty, meets the requirements of sudden expansion probably better than any other high school in the city. • • Another term—another eventful term of our school life has passed, and probably one of the most important events was the organization of the school paper—The Girls High Mirror. For several years some of the girls have worked for the accomplishment of their one desire—a school paper. They realized that a Journal published every six months was entirely inadequate as a medium of ex- pression anti that some other publication was needed. At last their ambition has been realized. This term the paper has been started very modestly, being only a monthly publication, but judging from the enthusiasm of its reception and its almost 100% subscription, we can be sure that next term will find it published on a larger scale. We extend a hearty welcome to Mrs. Biekel, Miss Bovard, Mr. Offield, Miss Revoy and Mrs. Wilson, and hope that their stay at Girls High School will be as happy as ours has been. The Editorial Staff wishes to avail itself of this opportunity of expressing its appreciation and thanks to those who have helped to make the Journal a success. Miss Croyland can never be sufficiently thanked for her excellent criticism and valuable advice. Miss .Tones and Mr. MeGlynn have given their kind assistance with the art work. Since so much of the success of any publication depends upon the interest and help of the art and printing companies, we feel that too much cannot be said in appreciation of all that the Sierra Art Engraving Company and Schwabacher-Frey Stationery Company have done for us. The 2B Class, under the leadership of Marion Solomans. reached the 100% mark first in the sale of Journals, and the other classes that followed were Mr. Dupuy’s Class, under the leadership of Gladys Standing, and Miss Armer’s Class, under the leadership of Barbara Perkins. To the following girls is extended sin- cere appreciation of their help, either in selling advertisements or with the liter- ary work: Estelle Mannheim, Barbara Perkins, Emma Brescia, Adaline Loeb, Ilildegarde Schwerdt, Amelia Franchini, Othella Burner and Maud Uyeda.

Think of going upon a ray of moon- light as the tide was drifting out!” “That part was indeed most absorbing, but not half so exciting as the death scene, and then to think Cyrano was so brave as to visit Roxana after his accident. He died like a true noble- man. That death scene was so sad, my poor little handkerchief was drenched when this entrancing play, “Cyrano de Bergerac,” was finished. “It seems to me that most of your time is taken up with crying. I shouldn't imagine that would be such a pleasure,” suggested a freshman among the group. “But, my dear, you should hear Miss Armer read Shaw’s ‘Arms and the Man.’ Then you would simply scream when you listened to Shaw tell about Major Petkoff’s grievance against modern conveniences, or his protest against the English because they are so exceedingly indiscreet as to daily enjoy that obnoxious contrivance which the modern civilized world terms a bath tub. And when you heard Masfield’s ‘Locked Chest’ you would have been so thrilled that you couldn’t have moved—for fear that the hero would open the locked chest, the fatal hiding place of the enemy. “Oh, you girls are horrid to always talk about your old Reading Club,” spoke up a 2B. “Just wait until you are a 3A, and when you have gone once, take my word, you shall have only one wish—that Dr. Scott would change the program so that Tuesday would come ten days a week.” Page ' _.l .

No longer are fair lovers of Terpsichore’s art without music to step to. No longer must fair damsels import music for a dance. The Jazz Band—the very latest word in music clubs—has already earned a name for itself in the six short months of its existence. For one-half hour before school, this orchestra meets in diligent practice so that we can enjoy the fruits of its labor. And so when you dance to the tune of whining saxophones and crying violins, don’t forget it’s the Jazzy ten of your very own school that knows how. Che journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 DOLORES JUAREZ President Choral Club MURIEL ROBERTS President Glee Club Choral and Glee Clubs “Stand up straight.” (This isn’t physical education). “Open your mouth.” (This isn’t a dentist). “A shriek.” (This isn’t murder.) “A trill.” (This isn’t a canary.) “A run.” (This isn’t a race.) “1-----2-----3----4-----.” (This isn’t arithmetic.) “Watch the leader.” (This isn’t a game.) “Keep in time.” (This isn’t a dance.) “Dolcissimo.” (This isn't Greek.) All this represents two of our musical clubs. The Choral Club is composed of 250 members and meets every day. The Glee Club is composed of about 30 honorary members of the Choral Club and meets twice a week. Although two separate organizations, the clubs often co-operate in giving entertainments, and recently they contributed much to a program given at Goat Island under the auspices of the Y. W. C. A. This term, under the capable direction of Mrs. Me- Glade, the clubs are planning to give an operetta. “The Feast of the Little Lan- terns.” This operetta with its Oriental atmosphere and theme, offers a splendid opportunity for a very beautiful production, both in setting and music. The girls are working very hard to make it a success and we, with memories of “Florinda,” are eagerly looking forward to the production of this charming miniature opera.

These are the kind of topics that, once in the debating club, a girl is generally thought to be forced to discuss. It is a well-known fact that the average student pictures all debaters as a species of unfortunate and mildly insane variety of human being, more to be pitied than otherwise. It is gen- erally conceded that anyone at all interested in de- bating never thinks of anything so common-place as sleep, but spends weary evenings in the libraries, reading thousands of deep, dull, and dry books, and absorbing millions of statistics on all the perplex- ing problems of the age. At times, we admit, the members of the debating team do act rather strangely, particularly when they wander about the halls muttering weird sayings, and furiously gesticulating in the face of an imaginary opponent. From this, it is deducted that all members of the debating team are weird, or. at least, slightly unbalanced creatures. But such is not the case. Upon dose examination we find that the Debating Club boasts of a large number of “peppy” and active girls who radiate school spirit. Meetings are held every week in the library and, contrary to popular belief, there occur exciting discussions on current topics. The members develop into live and interesting speakers. Female Ciceros use their oratorical powers to ad- vantage—from convincing teachers of a girl’s right to be tardy or to root at a baseball game. But above all, the Debating Club is a live club and is going to remain an inseparable part of A live school. —.1 . L.

Cfje journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 Page Seventy-three tEijc journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 YWBGPRB Strange as it may sound, these letters do not form the pass-word of any secret society for the elimination of school, or examinations or anything you like best. Nor is it a secret code that is “guar- anteed” as ponies are guaranteed, to solve any and all algebra and geometry problems that the student may be forced to ponder over. Nor is it a secret guide to the solution of chemistry experiments. This combination of letters, which at first glance seems of such potent meaning, is merely the first letters of the color chart—the artists’ guide. It is the knowledge of these very letters plus a palette, a brush, and an easel that enables the artist, or would-be artist, to paint his picture. There are many girls who have fond hopes of becoming artists. Some perhaps even dream of dwelling in that much-discussed, much-talked about Greenwich Village. Many have even bobbed their hair with the idea that an artist s “coiffure” would help develop that innate genius that they know burns within them. And so as a result of this thirst for art. and, in order to plant a seed that may blossom forth in great artistic talent, the Art Club has been formed—devoted to this very exclusive subject. Although it embraces all art in general, it is more particularly devoted to the study of interior decorating and furniture designing, and twice a week, under the supervision of Mr. McGlvnn. the girls spend a pleas- ant hour learning more of this very fascinating art. There are no requirements for membership except an interest in this subject, anil this term found a number of very eager Freshmen anxious to become interior decorators or furniture de- signers. Evidently they are not going to allow the upper classmen to carry off all the laurels. RUTH MANN. President Page Seventy-four i i l vj i i i 11 u an i ' TfrT - i' i mv s i l-?

And now, gentle readers the reason for all this is merely a meeting of the Dramatic Club, under the capable supervision of Mrs. Tharp. Every year tlie Girls High School Dramatic Club has pre- meral arkush. President sentcd some very worth while production and this year an operetta—“The Feast of the Little Lan- terns”—promises to equal even James Barrie’s “Quality Street,” which we still remember as such a success of last year. The girls are very proud of the Dramatic Club. And why shouldn’t they be? In a school of girls entirely, one might not think that a dramatic club could mean so much, but all that is necessary for the pessimist to convince himself of the enthusiasm and whole-hearted interest the girls show, is to witness one of the plays. Surely no better proof could be shown of talent and ability to interpret a delightful play than in a production of the Girls High School Dramatic Club. Page Seventy-five Cfjc journal GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL DECEMBER 1921 Page Seventy-six WBk 5'g A very important event in the doings of the clubs this term was the reorganization of the French Club under the capable leadership of Miss Revoy. Up to a year ago when the club was dis- continued, it ranked among the most popular clubs. All those who have taken more than two years of French are eligible and judging from the number who belong, one would think that French was the one and only language taught at Girls High School.

Seventy-eight —Emma Brescia, June ’24 ELFKIEDA IMOBERSTEG CECILS FEU8IER HELEN IMOBERSTEG VIDA 8ETENICH MANACKRS OF THE BASKETBALL TEAMS BASKETBALL Basketball, one of the oldest sports in the school, seems to have stood the test of time, and still retain its original popularity. After conserving their energy and enthusiasm during last term when the sport served as a minor, the girls are now showing by active participation on practice days their hearty wel- come to a favorite sport. One of the principal aims of all athletics is to teach good sportsmanship. It is tliis spirit of co-operation, and consideration of others that helped the players to win all the interschool games played last year. This term we expect Girls High to again become the winner of all games in which she participates. The training rides, which have been made somewhat more strict, make it harder for players to reach their ultimate goal, the acquisition of the coveted block “G pin. Training began October 24, and will continue until all the inter- class and interschool games have been finished. I nder the able coaching of Miss Clark, the beginners are showing a great deal of improvement and possibilities of making a strong Freshman team. Miss Rosenberg has charge of the advanced players and expects to have plenty of material for good upper class teams. The schedule for G. II. S. participating in interschool games has been ar- ranged as follows: I NT E R SC IIOO L—INTERCLASS Monday, November 28, 1921 — Girls Seniors vs. Lowell Seniors. Wednesday, November 30, 1921—Girls .Juniors vs. Commerce Juniors. Monday. December 5, 1921—Girls Sophs, vs. Polytechnic Sophs. Wednesday, December 7, 1921—Girls Fresh, vs. Mission Freshmen.

To those who participate in this sport this seems an injustice, as volleying the ball over the net and not stepping into neutral territory is a work of art. As yet very few have become proficient in this sport, but we have hopes that before the season is finished we shall have some good games. Last term a number of games were played with outside schools. Seniors vs. Polytechnic Juniors vs. Commerce Sophomores vs. Lowell Freshmen vs. Commerce BASEBALL Object:—To spend an afternoon happily. Method:—Mark an asphalt court off with a 45-ft. diamond, add baseball, bat, glove, and two groups of Girls High girls. Result:—A peppy game of baseball. Conclusion:—This experiment was tried more than once last term and we concluded our interclass series with the Seniors as champions and the interclass interschool series with the following results: Seniors vs. Commerce, won by Girls. Juniors vs. Mission, won by Girls. Sophomores vs. Lux, won by Girls. Freshmen vs. Lowell, won by Lowell.

All classes take part in the tournament, and in this way an interest is kept alive throughout the term when it is a minor sport. The advanced players meet on Tuesday afternoon, the beginners on Friday, and under the capable supervision of Miss Rosenberg, they are taught the ethics of the game. INTER SCHOOL Seniors vs. Commerce—Girls Juniors vs. Polytechnic—Girls Juniors vs. Mission—Girls Sophomores vs. Lowell—Lowell Freshmen vs. Lowell—Girls Freshmen vs. Polytechnic—Girls SWIMMING This term, judging from the number of girls who have signed up, swimming seems to have made more of an appeal than ever before. Miss Woodhull coaches the advanced swimmers, and many of them are practicing for the big meet to come oft' next June. Miss Caverly instructs the beginners, with the fond hopes that they will become champions some time. The girls still meet at Sutro Baths every Tuesday afternoon and they wish that even more girls were there to share the fun, for their motto is “the more the e Page Eighty-one merrier.

It’s never quiet.” They were on the sofa, side by side, When he asked her to be his bride. She murmured “Yes” and then he cried Excelsior. Around her waist he placed his arm, As if to shield her from all harm. Once more he cried, now in alarm: Excelsior. Mr. Of field: M. Friend: Mr. Offield: M. Friend: M r.

(Scene: Steddy Hawl after Skule. Throng of Gurls Seated.) Carey: Cum t’order! Von Ilusen: Cum t’ order! Carey: The object of this nieetin’— Von Ilusen: —is to plan a rally. Carey: The secretary will please read—• De Haven: 1 move the minutes be dispensed with. Chorus: Second the motion ! Carey: Before we go on with the meetin’, there is some old business that has to be attended to. The treasurer— Esehen: I had forty-three cents on September 1st. Fifteen cents went to flowers for Miss Fitz-Gerald’s dead goldfish. Had to pay eleven cents for the journal page, and nine cents for the saucer Eloise Clayburgh broke in the caf. That leaves eight cents for balance on hand, and Margaret Phillips owes me two cents. Von Ilusen: Miss Victor has something to say. Victor: The 2B ash cans are on the left of the door and some 3A stuff was found in one yesterday. If any 3A— Chorus: Oh, let up ! Carey: Order! Von Ilusen: How about the hall committee?

Peache: That doesn’t make any difference, we can change it to a dance. Im Obersteg: I can’t dance! Let’s not give a dance! Carey: It’s going to be a rally! Crowley: Well then, who’ll be in it? Carey: Miss Crowley, you have not been recognized. Meyerfield : You seem to know her all right! Carey: Miss Meyerfield, just for that you will do the Highland fling in the rally. Bluhm: Oh, she can’t dance—let me do it! Merriweather: Aw, let’s give a dance! Von Husen: NO! Babble of Voices: Dance! Rally! Show! Rally! Dance! Opera! Carey: ORDER! Benason (timidly) : I can play a bass drum solo! Chorus: Help! Carey: The committee will decide as to who shall be in the rally. Toucey: (recovered) Well. I’m not going to be the whole committee! Von Husen: Will Miss Toucey kindly appoint her committee? Toucey: Dixie, Majorie Brown— Brown: Not me. 1 won’t be on it! Chorus: Can’t decline! Brown: That wasn’t a nomination—it was an appointment. Carey: Order! It is settled then, that Miss Toucey and Miss Kennedy will be the rally committee. Cannev: When’ll we give the rally? Winkle: Aw c’mon, lets give a dance! Carey: Well, then, we’ll vote. All those in favor of having a dance— Allenburg: Gee, it’s haf past three—I hafta go! Chorus: So do I! I move we adjourn.

Chorus: Let’s go. Carev: Then we lay the subject of a rally on the table until next meetin’. Drew: Yes, I move we adjourn. Chorus: Second the motion! Von Husen: Meetin’ s’ adjourned. Carey: Meetin’s' adjourned. “I must hurry now.” “Why?” “I promised a friend of mine to help him pick out an engagement ring for his girl, and I must hurry as Wcolworth’s closes at six.” ‘‘Late hours are bad for one.” ‘‘Yes, but they’re fine for two.” ‘‘Do you know a good cure for sleeplessness?” “Counting to one thousand.” “Confound it. That’s what everyone tell me, but our baby is too young to count.” Girl to her friend after powdering her nose: “Dearie, look at my face and see if it’s on straight.” HEARD IN THE COURT “ ‘Lo, Mable, gawnta eatin the kaf?” “Naw.

Not even a streak of the stage.” Big man sarcastically: “Then you just keep your eyes on me and laugh when I laugh.” The proper length for a skirt is just above reproach. 1st: “Mv dad has made me what I am.” 2nd: “Too bad!

Are you laughing at me?” “No, I laughed up my sleeve.” “But I heard you laugh.” “There must be a hole at my elbow, then.” A girl’s heart is like the moon; it has many changes, but there is always a man in it.

But anyone may enjoy a similar natural and exhilarating stimulus. Scientists have found that the eating of Fleischmann’s Com- pressed Yeast contributes wonderfully to glorious health and radiant beauty! Fleischmann’s Yeast is a systemic conditioner—supply- ing Vitamines. It completes ordinary diets—and induces a wonderful and natural complexion. Are we getting enough of this single element, this Vitamine, in our every-day meals? W ithout it, scientists are agreed, we fall off in health. The richest known source of this Vitamine is Yeast—just the familiar little cake of Fleischmann’s Yeast—because it is manufactured fresh daily.
