You have taught us to search to find our place; then, to give to it our best, working with others to build a better world. You have been gentle as the mildest of our tender moods; you have been strong as the steel of our staunchest vows. You have been our guide. You have taught us to be all that beauty should: true, good, wise, and tender. In you we found a friend. Through you we made friends from whom came our greatest happiness. In you we found a teacher. Through you we knew teachers — teachers who had and kept standards, not just to make us do all the things we disliked most, but for the good of all. Your attitude was one of friendliness, courtesy, and kindness, entirely free from snobbishness; it gave us the feeling of belonging to you. Even your building itself had a language which told us how you felt toward us. Our warm memories of you, of joys and sorrows shared together, shall never fade; they shall linger and remain with us forever. We will hold fast our dreams of you within our hearts. You have showed us what it means to be true to our own best self; to be kind and helpful to others; clean in our thoughts and speech; true to our friends; fair to our family; cheerful and courteous in manner; faith- ful to any confidence placed in us; sensitive to beauty; abhorrent to all that is low and mean, choosing only those trails which lead to God and to happiness. It is our sincere wish that, as you have guarded us, so may you help other girls to find markers for their trails which will lead them safely to happy woman- hood. THE SENIOR CLASS. ♦ MRS. META BERGER To whom the staff of 1939 gratefully dedicates this book Strength and honor are her clothing: — she openeth her mouth with wisdom; — and in her tongue is the law ot kindness. — Proverbs 31. Surely strength, wisdom, and kindness are the key- notes in the character of our retiring board member, Mrs. Meta Berger. Thirty years of courageous fighting for just causes have proved her high sense of civic loyalty, but have not marred her gentleness. She has espoused the cause of the underprivileged, of the eager soul with an idea, of the misunderstood minority. She started things that took root ; she has had vision and faith. In recognition of her retirement, thirty-two civic and professional organizations sponsored on April 25 a banquet attended by six hundred and fifty friends; nine speakers praised her in terse but glowing words. But in this volume we pay tribute to Mrs. Berger as our own champion in early and difficult days, and as the con- stant friend of the teachers and students of Girls ' Trade and Technical High School. We wish to express in small measure our appreciation of the kindly consid- eration she has always given to our problems, and our gratitude for the influence upon our lives of a truly great woman. Give her ot the iruit ot her hands and let her own works praise her in the gates. Ml IfA aJr u Book one Book two Book three Book four Book five . Classes .

Science teaches the eyes to see. u u When I went down to science class. Phenomena did come to pass, Which filled me with surprise. The marvels of the universe, How tiny molecules disperse, All left me very wise. When I went to biology, A small, green frog thy gave to me, To dissect with great skill. I took my forceps carefully, And did the job just expertly; With pride it did me fill. When I went down to chemistry, A rack of tubes they gave to me, Experiments to do. I poured solutions in each one, They watched for changes. It was fun! The formulas were new. When I went down to physics lab, Of all the wonders I couldn ' t keep tab, So I paid strict attention. I learned about convection there, The many compounds of the air, And gravity and friction. € % 1 .-v r f — jfc A Miss Gill Miss M.

TO THOSE DEPARTED Still and quiet, lost but for a moment Is the soul of one who slips away. All is gone, the world cries, quite forsaken. All is found, the soul speaks undismayed; Though I worked and toiled upon the earth Many joys were mine to hold so dear. Though my heart breaks at the parting, I have found a greater glory here. Still we weep for those departed. Is there reason for the tears we shed? Could the world be filled with beauty. If harm befalls our sacred dead?

THE CLASS OF 1939 presents A Histrionic History A Comedy ol Four Active Years Synopsis of the Scenes Prologue — Visitation Week Sans acclamation or proclamation, the asbes- tos rises showing long lines of eager aspiran L s hoping to divine the secrets behind the purple velour. Some are frightened at the seemingly complicated bigness of it all as they enter the auditorium for the first time; others are already visualizing the brightness of the future soon to be before them; all are thrilled by the glamour of the theater, so remote from the scene of their past endeavors. Ludicrous in their uncon- cealed awe and staring amazement but envi- able in their fresh, youthful expectancy and vital eagerness, they fade into the dusk of the closing semester. Act 1—1935-36 Slowly the luxurious purple velvet curtains part on a scene of great confusion. The dis- order is caused by the new entrants, a group of rosy-cheeked, naive girls clad in shades of significant Kelly green. They are the innocent stand-ins constantly cajoled by the sophisti- cated bit players who are still intoxicated by their first draught of superiority — their debut into the sophomore class. In their simplicity, the new arrivals provide entertainment for the entire cast as they rush to the office and solemnly ask for bubbler permits or eagerly attend the cotton and wool lectures in the hope of seeing free movies. Yet life is not too cruel for these gullible hopefuls. Parties are given in their honor, notably one on Valentine ' s day when they come in costume and dance gayly with their new acquaintances. The curtains ring down as the spotlight hovers over the girls now garbed in shades of pale green. They have withstood the initiation which the seasoned players put them through; they have accomplished much in learning and in sociability; and with a feeling of pride and a sense of truly belonging , they sing lustily to their new Alma Mater. Act II — One year later. The house lights are dimned, and a hush falls over the audience as the second act be- gins. The first scene shows the stand-ins emerg- ing into the roles of bit players. With this transformation a gradual change seems to take place in the character of each individual girl. None exhibits the irresponsibility and exuber- ance of her last year ' s youth; all aro distin- guished by a definite seriousness of mind as to how they can help develop the drama of school life. The second scene is a large auditorium filled to overflowing with blushing, giggling girls and shy, awkward boys. It is the Sophomore Major Beaux ' and Belles ' Amateur Hour where girls who do not appear on the stage are busy below enacting roles of a coquettish variety. The third scene shows the inevitable Days of Judgment with much wailing and gnashing of teeth, the usual cramming and burning of FEBRUARY CLASS OFFICERS Ruth Yeko President Constance Sager Vice-President Ruth Tetzlaff Secretary Lucille Haidera Treasurer [46] JUNE CLASS OFFICERS Theresa Truel Presidenf Mary Jane Scherzinger Vice-President midnight oil before final exams, and the uni- versal dread to see grades. The curtains swing shut on the second act. Another milestone has been passed. Act III — Another year iafer. Sophomoric sophistication is the term applied to the characteristic pose of the bit player of the sophomore year; in the third year it is called junioric jollity, and truthfully too, for the entire audience comments on the wholesome, natural gayety of the girls in their new roles as understudies. There is a hilarious comic scene enacted when the understudies and the rest of the cast are entertained by the faculty members at a combination masque-basketball game. Cha- peroned by Miss Dysart and Miss George who blossomed forth as man and wife; encouraged by the eerie, inhuman cries of the cheerleaders in their long, flowing white gowns; tenderly administered to by Doc Tiernan with her quaint medical instruments; and shadowed by the non-prejudiced, ever whistle-blowing umpire, the team in their droll disguises fought hero- ically to a smashing defeat. The time-worn words, sweet music, soft lights, swaying couples, describe a bit of history-making as the class held the first junior prom, a fitting close for a successful year. Act IV — Still another year later. The footlights are brought up, the curtain parts, and all is ready for the final act. The characters have reached the height of their ambitions, for they are now playing the long- coveted roles — seniors, at long last! Again the spot shifts. This time it finds a group of girls, down right, handling material and looking at patterns. With glowing eyes and eloquent gestures, they describe what is to be the treasured favorite of their wardrobes — the lovely, formal graduation dress. The scene changes as a shaking figure in a Carole Wallschlaeger Secretary Lorraine Staniszewski Treasurer cooking apron stumbles out of the wings. With crossed fingers and a worried look, she recites: Was the soup too hot? Was the tea too cold? Did I shake a lot? Will the teacher scold? Were the forks in line? Were the napkins laid? Me? I ' m feeling fine! Think I ' d be afraid? The orchestra strikes up a medley of School Days and nursery rhymes. Amid giggles and shouts, a ridiculous interlude then flashes across the stage. The dancers are dressed as little boys and girls who recite funny poems, drag toys around, eat unimaginable amounts of candy, and give wrong answers. This humorous opus is entitled Senior-Freshie day. A soft mellow glow floods the stage as the opening lines of Little Women are wafted across the proscenium. With many smiles and bows in response to the tremendous ovation, the stars disappear in a blaze of glory. The final scene shows glamorous maids and gallant swains deep in the thralls of the muse, Terpsichore. The occasion of the gaiety is the junior-senior prom, the swan song of student activity. Epilogue — Commencement. The last refrains of the recessional are faintly heard as the curtain slowly lowers on this closing scene. The play is over; and like the player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more, these players, too, are gone — like so many that have gone before them — each leaving a void and a cherished memory. •GLADYS ALICE ABRAMOWSKI Elective Course Walker Junior High MARY ANTOINETTE ANGELI Elective Course St. Leo LILLIAN ROSE BAAS Stenographic Course Tess Corner EVELYN ELSIE ALBRECHT Stenographic Course St. Martin ' s PEARL CATHERINE AUBERT Elective Course Steuben Junior High RUTH CLARA BAER Stenographic Course Zion Lutheran EMILY DOROTHY BARTOS Elective Course St. Stephen ELEANORE CHARLOTTE BAUER Stenographic Course St. John ' s DOROTHY LUCILLE BANCROFT Trade Course Roosevelt Junior High DOROTHY CLARA BAUER Stenographic Course St. Leo ' February Graduate [48] LUCILLE ALFREIDA BAXTER Science Course Humboldt Park DOLORES MARY BERTAGNOLLI EJecfive Course Eugene Field VELES VIRGINIA BIGELOW Science Course Lutheran High LOUISE BEECHER Science Course St. Francis Heights CAROL EVELYN BICKLER Elective Course St. Leo ANNA BILLAN Elective Course Eighth Street MARGARET HELENE BLANKENHEIM £ ecfive Course Robert M.

The student body was represented this year by three executive officers and one repre- sentative from each homeroom. All are dem- ocratically elected by student vote. The group meets every Monday during the counseling period to determine general policies, to decide on activities, and in general to act as an advis- ory council for the student body. To render service to the school, to act as a link between students and faculty, and to be a board of in- formation regarding school activities are the general policies as stated in the constitution. This year the work of the council was broad- ened considerably. As a body they established and administered an effective monitor system. Most of the matinee dances and special eve- ning mixers were in their capable hands. The group ably assisted the Ripper staff, and also acted as a broadcasting system for important announcements. The officers and several members attended the All-City Student Coun- cil Convention at Whitefish Bay High School and the banquet at the Y. M. C. A. The student council organization at Girls ' Tech is rapidly becoming indispensable to school life, for through it the girls have ample opportunity to excerise their democratic res- ponsibilities. Mila Ward was elected vice-president of the Student Council but was unable to carry on the responsibilities due to serious illness. It was finally necessary for Mila to withdraw from school, but she expects to return in Sep- tember to graduate with the February Class of 1940.

Under the direction of Miss Druml, the mem- bers enjoyed many happy hours this past year. Correspondence with boys and girls of Ger- many was carried on. Musicals featuring Ger- man Club talent and a part of the school band whiled away many a Monday morning. The Christmas and Easter parties were highlights as well as our German Fair. The thrilling climax of a happy year was the picnic which was held in June. 5 I° c m ' £sA f i vA £ g p n n 1 i r D U U K j LU L Officers Laverne Zuelsdorf Presidenf Helen Biesiot Vice President Lenora Zuelsdorf Secretary You ' re an education in yourself might well be said of the Book Club, for its purpose is to stimulate interest in the library and to acquaint the members with authors and their works.

The club, under the direction of Miss Burdick, enjoyed presenting several dramatic skits including Not For Ladies , the play depicting the Bronte, and a colorful parade of book characters.

How to secure a position, to advance one ' s COMMERCIAL CLUB self in the business world, to develop poise and personality, and to obtain successful in- terviews are revealed in round table discus- sions and clever short plays.

They viewed the intricacies of the post office, held treasure hunts at our museum, and discovered the complicated system of the telephone company. The girls also spent much time out-of-doors, going on long hikes and jolly picnics with their advisor, Miss Margaret Meyer. Their indoor meetings consisted of movies, experiments, speakers, and parties. Officers Polly Sims President Virginia Marcinek ...

The purposes of this club are to bring out the dramatic talent of the girls, to develop their personalities, and to provide social opportunities. DRAMATIC CLUB Many amusing plays are produced at their meetings. The girls reenacted a play in the assembly called Sing A Song Of Seniors , which was the prize winner of their play tour- nament. They produced a melodrama called And Still the Villian Pursued Her for the All School Show. Miss McKeith is the sponsor.

They also expertly supervise the boarding of street- cars, and the overcrowding of safety zones. The Safety Commission of Milwaukee supplied each cadet with a badge, which receives rec- ognition from both drivers and pedestrians. This squad was organized in October, 1938, at the request of the students. Cadets are chosen from a list of volunteers. One outstand- ing accomplishment of the Safety Cadet Squad, is that the public and students alike are increasingly becoming more safety con- scious.

[122] § emosi ORCHESTRA BAND CHORUS [124] English, English, oh what fun, Reading a poem, or making a pun, With books to read and themes to write And oral topics to recite. FIRST PRIZE OH, THESE WOMEN June Gruenewald Ann White wearily raised her pretty blonde head and sighed as the ever watchful coo-coo punctiliously bonged out the fourth hour of the cheery autumn afternoon. Her blue eyes wandered listlessly about the empty room, scarcely noticing the colorful draw- ings that had been tacked carelessly on the wall by her artistic pupils. Her attention was drawn to little Tommy who slouched sullenly in the third seat. Here was the direct cause of Miss White ' s stumped expression. To say that she was completely baffled was putting the situation rather mildly. After eleven months of managing youngsters suc- cessfully, Miss White had finally met her equal if not in intelligence surely in temperament. It was queer how vividly she could recall the memory of those stubborn, unmanageable boys and girls with whom she had clashed during her brief experience as a teacher. But always she emerged the victor. Never before had she been over-ruled by a child, until Tommy happened along. But those psychology courses at college really made an impression on her. She understood human nature. So she thought. Then her mind snapped back to the issue at hand. She ought to be able to cope with this problem. Miss White closely scrutinized the youngster who was wiggling uncomfortably in his chair before her. She wondered from whom he had inherited that unruly, mischievous, wholly self-assured manner, to say noth- ing of a bold, arrogant grin. She supposed it was a gift of Mr. Robinson ' s. Just like a man to heap his most abominable traits on a helpless child. Well, there was nothing to be gained by fretting; action was what she demanded. All the disciplinary measures she ' d used up to this period came stalking boldly before her. She ' d taken the upper hand by scolding very loudly and very briskly with nary a flicker of emotion on her face. That seemed to work for a short while, but eventually Tommy caught on and called her bluff. Then Miss White forced the child to write thousands of sentences; they improved his penmanship, that was all. Strong arm tactics failed miserably along with the sit in the corner method . It was evident that he didn ' t despise stay- ing after school. There was only one thing left. She ' d talk to him sweetly and softly. She ' d use the confiding-agreement system. Miss White drew a deep breath, gulped once or twice, and plunged into the task with a timorous vengeance. Tommy, she breathed in a meek, mousey voice, come up to my desk; I ' d like to talk to you. Tommy stood before her and squinted suspiciously. There was something unusual in the air; Miss White had never addressed him like that before. Why are you always so naughty? Tommy studied his shoes carefully. Do you like to stay after school? Wouldn ' t you rather leave with your friends and play? The ques- tions sounded a little silly to Miss White ' s unaccus- tomed ear. Still they seemed to be taking effect. At least Tommy didn ' t have an impudent retort to fling at his teacher. I ' m going to make a bargain with you, Miss White continued in a sweet, matter-of-fact tone. I won ' t scold or punish if you show us how good you really are. I ' ll prove that I can be nice too. Is it a bargain? A muffled Yes, ma-am floated to her ear. It was evident that Miss White had succeeded beyond even her own comprehension. She placed her hand on Tommy ' s head and patted the tousled curls gently. Run along, she sighed, and don ' t forget our agreement. Once again Miss White sat complacently at her desk. A faintly victorious smile barely curved her lips. There ' s no doubt about it, she philosophized. You ' ve got to have a system! — Tommy ' s famous grin spread broadly over his face as he trudged noisily from the building. Yes, sir. Butch, he boasted to his faithful chum, you ' ve just gotta know how to handle these bossy women! SECOND PRIZE YOU AND A SUITABLE ESCORT Carole Wallschlaeger That white square envelope over there on the reception hall table could mean only one thing: that she had been invited to the Senior Club ' s spring dance. At last those seniors had slightly released their barriers of complete exclusiveness to the last- semester juniors, and had invited her and a suitable escort to their dance. Pearl could just see that intriguing monogram on the card and knew exactly what it would read without looking: The Senior Club extends an invitation to you and a suitable escort to attend the Spring Dance to be given at the Astor Ballroom, June 2, 1939, at eight-thirty p. m. Oh, joy. Social success at last. I ' ve arrived. Oh, but three years of high school were truly worth this. What to wear? Oh, dear, that question again, and just last night Mother said that I would get no more new clothes till school lets out. Oh, miserable me, perhaps I can make over my dress of last year; that blue net is lovely, but the line and cut are so wrong. Oh, no, all the seniors will have new dresses, not the old ones made over. But that old dress of Aunt Betty ' s would fit me if it were made shorter. Perhaps Aunt Betty could be persuaded to put up the needed money. Let ' s see, how much will I need? About fifteen dollars would do it. That ' s a lot of money if you haven ' t got it. Pearl ' s forehead was wrinkled with worry. I still have that Christmas and birthday money from Uncle Pete. That ' s about ten dollars. Well, the rest will have to come out of my allowance. I do [126] ,4 2 au m £ckml hope Aunt Betty will let me have it though, she added fervently. Pearl languidly rose and murmured, I wonder who my ' suitable escort ' should be. There ' s Chuck, Jerry, Frank, Hank, and Peter. Chuck dresses like a college man, but he can ' t dance the latest steps; Jerry isn ' t tall enough, but he is the most fun; Frank dresses well, dances divinely, but is sort of a wet blanket ; Hank, well, I haven ' t known him long enough, but I don ' t suppose that would make much difference; and Peter, well, he has everything but is sort of stilted when it comes to talking at a dance, but he, no doubt, would be the best, with the car and all. She breathed a sigh of relief at her decision. Oh, heavens, I do hope it won ' t rain! Oh, dear, how horrible! My dress would positively wilt, and my hair would stream down my back. Oh, but, I do believe that the weather man said that it would be ' fair and warmer ' by then. Mmmm, I can just see those senior boys begging for dances! That gang of Lee ' s will no longer eye me from the stag line; no indeed, they will come in droves for dances after they see how exotic and glamorous I am going to be! Those senior girls will have nothing on me. As she ambled across the hall to the table on which that fascinating envelope was, she wondered if her mother would let her put her hair up. She slowly put out her hand for the white square, reverently broke the seal, and took out the card it contained: The Marie Beauty Salon announces its opening on May 26, 1939. Prices are greatly reduced. The Management. IN FOND APPRECIATION Ann Fensel As long as I live I shall always love Tech. To me it is a privilege to call her my school. I say her, because she seems as a woman — seeing, hearing, feeling, consoling and encouraging although she never speaks. When I was a little girl with blond bangs and hair- bows, my mother used to speak of Tech. with praise and deep regard. She always seemed so qlad that she had attended The Girls ' Trade and Technical High School. I must have carried her words with me through the years, for there never was any question about which school I would attend. So I came to our tall, stately building, and never one moment for four years have I regretted my decision. I belonged here somehow, and it has been fine to realize I have chosen right. The humming halls, the busy classrooms, the fun-loving girls, the cafeteria in a huge hush, the empty study hall at four o ' clock, the spirit of helpfulness in the faculty members, the calm quiet of the assembly hall, and the satisfaction and victory of achievement: all these I will keep in my heart and carry into the world. There is a beautiful quotation in our regal audi- torium, He hath no power who hath not power to use. Every time I read the words the spirit of our first principal, Miss Ora A. Blanchar, seems to fill the room and speak, Go forward. Not only is our school building beautiful, but its ideals and foundation, planted so long ago, are more than beautiful; they are quite holy. To walk in quiet halls — To laugh with all my friends — To work with all my soul — Has been a privilege to me. To be gay and dance — To paint and draw and work With all the finest help that one could have — Has been a privilege to me. To speak to all the girls — To sing aloud our song — To write for all, my thoughts — Has been more than a privilege to me. As I go forward now Quite through with all these joys — The memory of each dear thing Shall be a privilege to me. ON GOING OUT INTO THE WORLD Bette Voight What is the world like, beyond the bounds of my daily venture into it? Is it really as large as it seems to be, or is it as small as people sometimes say it is? I am really puzzled. The world stretches out for miles and miles on all four sides of me, waiting patiently for me to come and view its wonders; yet; I do not know what the world itself is! Perhaps I will be one of those fortunate individuals who travels from border to border and from coast to coast, thrilling at the places where history was made, and marvelling at the seven famous wonders of the world. Maybe I will become noted as an authority on travel, and write volumes about the places I have seen. Perhaps I may even build a home on top of a very high mountain and command a view of all the surrounding territory. If I did anyone of these things, you would very likely believe that I knew all about the world. But would I? Probably not, for it takes much more than historic battle grounds and many continents to make up a world. It takes people, millions of them, to make the continents worth living on. If I am to be worldly- wise I must also know all about the people around me as well as the territory surrounding me. Just how am I to accomplish this? Shall I walk up to everyone I meet and cross question him, saying, Who are you? What do you do for a living? Are you honest or dishonest? , and hope for an answer? Or shall I quietly observe their actions and take stock of them in that way. And if I do observe each person carefully, how long will it take me to know all of the people who live in the world? I won ' t even venture to guess. It would be a longer time than my lifetime [128] Q 2 ,AJb au m dehorns would allow me to spend learning about the world I live in. So you see why I am puzzled. I am living, and will continue to live, in a place I know very little about. More than likely I will spend my days out in the world pounding a typewriter from daylight to dusk, or performing a million other unromantic tasks, never travelling at all. Consequently, I will never know a great deal of the countries in the world. My common sense tells me I will not be granted longer than the natural span of life. I cannot know all I should like to know about the people around me. However, I live on from day to day wondering if I will ever know the answer to the question always uppermost in my mind: what is this world that I must enter on my own, so very soon. MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER Norma Jean West What are you doing? was the question I was asked as I sat trying to think. So I replied, Writing a theme for English. A what? she said. Right then I remembered I wasn ' t talking to my mother, or my grandmother, but to my great grandmother, so I repeated a little louder, Writing a character sketch. Immediately it dawned on me whom to write about. What could be better than a character sketch of a great grandmother. People seldom grow old with enthusiasm, but I feel my dear old great grandmother has lived up to Browning ' s words: Grow old along with me. The best is yet to be. She is a picturesque little old lady with snow white hair who is eighty-seven years young. She was born in Montreal, Canada, in the year of eighteen hundred forty-one. When she was two, she came to Wisconsin where she lived on a farm in Jefferson County. She was twenty years old when the Civil war broke out, and at twenty-four she married a Civil War soldier. She is my mother ' s, father ' s, mother and a mother of six children, eleven grandchildren, and five great grandchildren. When my grandfather was seven years old, my great-grandfather and family moved to Linn County in Iowa, where they lived in a log cabin for seven years; then, again, they moved back to Wisconsin in a covered wagon. So, you see, she has endured many of the pioneer hardships. I can remember her telling me often about the style of dress they wore. They weren ' t allowed to have their arms or ankles show at any time; and if they had less than four petticoats, it was a scandal. Their petticoats were yards and yards around the bottom. Imagine such a load She said if her mother could see the modern girl of today, she would be horrified. She is also a very generous person. This is shown by the way she is now taking care of an invalid daughter. Her main pastime is quilt-making, and she does very beautiful work. Although she is eighty- seven years old, she has a permanent wave almost every year. Truly, she is a remarkable woman, my great grand- mother, and I hope I may grow old as gracefully as she has. CHILDHOOD MEMORIES Evelyn Wagner It seems just yesterday that I gathered my little family of dolls and set a tiny table with wee, china dishes under the cool shade of a lilac tree. The freshly-trimmed lawn formed a velvet-like carpet for my little home. Strong, thickly-covered boughs of leaves formed the roof and several old sheets and blankets softly draped from the lower branches served as the walls. When I wanted guests at my tea, I left my dwelling to the vigilance of the birds and bees and invited my guests personally, fearing they, perhaps, could not come. Since methods of transportation then had already improved greatly, I shunned the thought of traveling by foot. My chief method was to strap on my roller skates and smoothly glide to my playmates ' houses. On a windy summer day I would choose to blow soap bubbles, and nothing more delighted my eyes than to follow the various sizes of bubbles as the wind carried them gently away. One of my favorite pastimes on a showery summer day was to measure the size of raindrops. I took a shallow pie tin, a flour sifter, and a little flour and then covered the bottom of the tin with a thin layer of the sifted flour. Taking it to a window, I held it out just long enough for a few raindrops to strike the bottom of the tin. Then I placed the tin in a hot oven for three minutes. Upon taking it out, I beheld little pellets of hard dough which represented the size of the raindrop that made it. No two pellets were alike in size, I later discovered. I shall never forget all the pleasant experiences of those childhood days which faded all too quickly and left only the sweet memories of the past. THE ANGEL ' S SONG Louise Mastaglio Luigi opened the door of his dingy too floor room and looked about him, discouraged. Wasn ' t there anyone who needed a young Italian violinist in an orchestra? The walls answered his silent question with an equally silent answer. He made his way through the piles of music that lay scattered about on the floor and sat down at the spinet. Letting his hands fall idlv, he was startled at the weird chord they struck. The ray of light that came through the window and rested on the music on the spinet rack only served to intensify the dusty dreariness of the rest of the room. As he sat there, Luigi fell into a troubled, restless sleep. As his dark head lay on the spinet, he made a handsome picture. The picture of a young genius. Suddenly a faint light glimmered in the room and kept growing brighter and briahter, until Luigi was blinded. A celestial voice spoke to him in silvery tones: Luigi Marcotti, you are a master. Write the notes I am playing, and you will be loved over all [130] Kd G, M, accc i €.-i . Y r ' 1 f3 £ =p the world for your glorious music. Striking a few chords upon a lyre, the spirit proceeded to play a glorious melody. As the music progressed, the blind- ing light gradually became dimmer, until again, it was but a faint glow. Luigi looked up and beheld an angel in full glory standing beside him. She ended her song and gradually disappeared. The melody rang in Luigi ' s ears. With feverish haste, lest the golden tones escape from him, he wrote the music he had heard. Dawn found him writing the last note. He murmured a fervent prayer to God, thanking Him for the inspiration. From that day, Luigi became famous. He toured one great city after another, one small village after another, spreading joy, and thrilling thousands with his greatest work, The Angel ' s Song. Luigi grew to be an old man. He was loved by everyone for his soul-stirring music. One beautiful day as he sat at his spinet, he heard the strains of the angel ' s song again, and beheld her standing beside him. The light grew brighter, but this time it did not blind him, and his heart was filled with joy because he knew the angel had come to escort him to the land of eternal melody. A COSTLY FUMBLE Betty Roggenbach There is a shift in glances as the silence in the study hall is broken by a spiral pass from Carol at about the second raw yard line. It is intercepted by the end Victoria, who laterals it to Betty, the quarter- back. The note is read and answered by the second down. Signals are called, Pst, pst, and the note is hurled through the air with Tech-nique and fumbled on the third raw yard line on its way to the fullback, Carol. This calls for a huddle. Time is too carelessly taken out, and the team is penalized with two deten- tions by the referee. Miss Demeanor. For the rest of the semester all communications are stopped at the line of scrimmage. ON REACHING MY SEVENTH SEMESTER Mary Angeli Excelsior! At last I ' ve attained that pinnacle I ' ve striven so long to reach; I ' m encircled by that filmy haze of glorious unreality, that came of earthly bliss that has forever been eluding me; my striving ambi- tion, my dominating passion has at last been fully realized; I ' ve risen to the height of heights, and I stand there — fresh and eager — searching for new worlds to conquer — Girls . . . today I am a Senior! Can you understand the full import of those magic words that lift me from an earth of despondency, misery, and bondage to a seventh heaven of freedom, gaysty, and immeasurable happiness? From my shelter of majesty and wisdom I gaze with scorn at those unfortunates below me and linger with glee, for I know that none are above me. Now it is my privilege to cloak myself in the sophis- tication and glamour that is required of the normal senior. When I consider the sweet simplicity of the future, I cannot — I will not — believe that at anytime I have ever been the green, blundering freshman, the just graduated — from Fresh sophomore, or the dull in-between, forgotten-man type of junior. I — I ' m the immortal Senior! THE TIMES I LEFT HOME Sophie Tomaszewski I was fifteen years old that time I left home. I ran away because everyone was cruel to me. They teased me mercilessly giving me no peace. They laughed at everything I said. Oh, I hated them all then. I ' d show them. They needn ' t think I had to be dependent upon them. I lay on the davenport carefully forming clever plans. I fixed each little detail of the plan fast in my mind. Then I took a little nap, so I would be wide awake when I started my adventure. In a second, I was fast asleep. However, I soon awakened and started to pack the essential things I planned to take First, there was the small, thick blanket. I would need that to sleep on. Next I took a can opener and three cans of food, besides that I took a box of corn- flakes. I wanted to make sure I wouldn ' t starve. Of course, I took my toothbrush. No one ever went any place leaving that behind. Then I donned my brother ' s overalls and stuffed the rest of my belong- ings into a shopping bag. Slowly and cautiously I sneaked out the back way. I looked at the porch. No one ' s there. They must have taken a walk. I folded a note in two and placed it in the mailbox. That note would explain everything to them. I crossed the street to the railroad tracks and looked for an open box car. I found one and crawled in. It was a messy place, full of straw. However, with the aid of a piece of cardboard, I swept all the straw into one corner. Then I spread the blanket on the floor of the car, closed the heavy door almost shut, and laid down. As I stared up at the ceiling I wondered where the box car would take me and when it would start. I thought about Hollywood or the great West. Perhaps the car would take me there. Soon my eyes began to droop and my head nod. I turned over to one side and was fast asleep. I sat up with a start ! Someone was pulling the door open. I crept back into a corner hoping I wouldn ' t be seen. A long, unshaven face peered in, eyes squinting. I held my breath and felt a flood of relief as the face disappeared. Apparently he hadn ' t noticed me. Then my heart was in my mouth again as the face reappeared. This time he squinted his eyes even more. He reached out a hoary hand an d grabbed at my blanket. He pulled it towards him, the shopping bag dragging along. I saw him look inside the bag. Then he grinned, showing a row of dingy teeth. He tucked the blanket and bag under his arm and walked away. Well, I thought. That guy ' s got nerve. This wasn ' t working out at all as I had planned. Sud- denly, the box car lurched forward with such force that it knocked me down, and soon the train was moving. I became panicky. I sprang to the door and waited for a chance to jump out. The box car lurched again, this time sending me out of the car onto the ground. I picked myself up and rubbed my sore [132] Jlem cmd Vk ie elbow and knee gently. I watched the box car dis- appear beyond the curve. There were tears in my eyes, but I wasn ' t crying because I missed the car. I got up carefully and walked slowly home. I wondered if someone had read my note. No. It was still in the mailbox. That was good. I heard voices coming from the house. I was afraid to go in. Afraid they would laugh when they saw me in overalls, bruised and dirty. They would know what had hap- pened, I guessed. Oh, let them laugh, I ' d ignore them. I walked into the house nonchalantly, whistling some airy tune. Then I stopped and waited for them to laugh. No one did. Instead they said I looked cute in overalls. Someone else wanted to bandage my elbow. No one asked questions, no one teased. They were all so kind I wanted to cry. They really liked me, I thought. Oh, I was glad they hadn ' t read my note; I had been so silly. Suddenly my brother ran into the house. Hey, he yelled, I put that note back like ya told me, but it ' s gone again. I jerked loose from them and ran up the stairs. My eyes were blinded with tears, and the bandage on my elbow trailed behind me. I reached my room and started to throw things around. Oh, I hated them all! TO RICHARD Bette Anne Voight You reach into the frosting On mother ' s new-baked cake. You make your daddy scold you, Oh stop for goodness sake. But don ' t you let them fool you, ' Cause no matter what you do. They wouldn ' t take a million For a half interest in you. JUST FOUR YEARS Virginia Collins When they come into the school, Knowing naught about the rules, Frightened faces can be seen. Older girls describe them green. Those freshies! Frightened faces seem to fade. As they pass another grade. Joining clubs is now their aim, Many of them gaining fame. Those sophomores! Proms and dances, parties too, Pretty dresses, mostly blue. Failing marks which make them fear They won ' t graduate next year. Those juniors! Walking briskly down the hall, Showing off the most of all. Leaving everything to fate. Whether they flunk or graduate. We seniors! NIGHT Cecelia Knapp As a velvet curtain encloses the stage in its folds, And holds it in darkness and quiet until the next play, Thus does night gather up the world in its darkness And let it rest until the first scene of day. As the curtain shuts out the footlights, night shuts out the sun. As one tells the play is ended, the other tells that day is done. As the players lay aside their costumes, we lay aside our cares. And lie in sweet forgetfulness until the sunrise flares. MISERY Ruth Binning The rain comes down. Your feet get wet. Dyed shoes turn brown, You fuss and fret. The wild wind blows. Umbrellas turn, Your new spring clothes- You ' ll never learn! The cars speed by, And splash and spray. My hose! you cry. Oh, what a day! MY MOTHER Frances Hoppe My mother ' s hair is very black With just a touch of gray. Her eyes are of the deepest brown; They can be sorrowful or gay. She has a dear, small pointed face With wrinkles peeping through, And when she smiles, it ' s like the sun. Which shines on morning dew! I think she must two people be. It is a joy to see, How she can do her daily work, And be a pal to me. DARKNESS Ann Fensel Men may fear the black midnight — I find comfort when the gliding shadows meet. The calm, still darkness holds a holy chapel ' s night, All the peace of the world is laid at my feet. The gallant night with sleep is soothing pain. Waiting patiently until the break of day, Kind to the weary, gentle as the rain — He then goes quietly upon his way. [134] 2)a Ijo-u (lememh i? SPRING Dorothy C. Bauer. What blessings lie ' neath azure skies When breaks the dawn of spring. The earth awakens from its shroud And birds begin to sing. The night ' ngale and bluebird blithe. The swallow, and the jay. Each is giving thanks to God In his distinctive way. The robins flit through glen and glade And this is what they say, Thank you, dear God, for everything — For our being here today. The daffodils lift up their heads And push up from the sod; They raise their leafy arms as though To give their thanks to God. Somewhere along this self same path Beneath the bright blue sky, A thankful little bubbling brook Is flowing gently by. We mortals, too, are awakened to The loveliness of spring Our hearts do burst with hopeful joy Our praises forth do ring. ROADS Virginia Bronn I know a road that leads from town Where small, warm larks with fuzzy down Chirp brightly on the blooming brush To see again the sun ' s faint flush. I know a road that leads from town Where fragrant pines are bended down From want of room to stretch and grow In one long, straight and narrow row. I know a road that leads from town To a clear, bright brook, that is a crown Of large wet trout that slip about And make men ' s hearts rejoice and shout. I know a road that leads from town Where a small elm church of nutty brown Gives peace and rest for all who care. Gives challenges for all who dare. I know a road that leads from town Where leaves of gold come tumbling down. Where paths worn deep are trod again By weary boys, by dogs and men. I know a road that leads from town Where acorns are so smooth and brown, Where boys who hunt them — not in vain Find thistles and thorns a painful bane. I know a road that leads from town Where whistling winds rush low aroun ' And blow the snow in drifts below, Till all the earth has sunken low. I know a road that leads from town To a winding bridge of rusty-brown. Where marshes thick are deep and high To match the space of a winter sky. A thousand roads lead me from town And lead my eyes and thoughts aroun ' I now, too, will always know Why man loves God and nature so. THE LAUGHING BROOK Sophie Tomaszewski ' Twas such a saucy little brook, I often sat there with my book. I watched it as it babbled by, And though it rushed, I knew not why. I wondered why it flowed so fast. And where it stopped its trip at last. The water trickled through my hand, I touched the bottom soft with sand. The water seemed so crystal bright, It gave the air a shining light. I wish that I a brook could be, Then nothing e ' er would trouble me. I ' d ripple swiftly through the earth, And sing loud songs of joy and mirth. THE OLD SCHOOL CLOCK (Rhyme of the Village Blacksmith) Ruth Caspersen Under the old and faithful clock The harried students stand. The clock a malicious goad is he With cold, two-timing hands. From early morn till late at night He rules this sorry land. Week in, week out, from morn ' till night You can hear him tick away. You can hear him buzz his warning note, While students slave each day, As if he takes extreme delight In catching those who stray. Toiling, rejoicing, sorrowing, Onward through school they play. Each morning sees some students late; Each evening sees some stay, With many half finished projects At the end of a busy dav [136] Oddi cud Indi ¥ f| p |FpT emanA- 1i) Ana!
