As through the aged deeps of ocean, They glide with wan and wavy motion! They have no pathway where they go. They flow like water to and fro. They watch with never-winking eyes, They watch with staring, cold surprise, The level people in the air, The people peering, peering there: Who wander also to and fro; And know not why or where they go, Yet have a wonder in their eyes, Sometimes a pale and cold surprise.” —Max EASTMAN = wk by Bbuwer Alma M later Each fall, when leaves in brilliant hues Dance against your dull, red walls, Reluctant feet have drawn us near To answer your compelling calls ; On winter days your friendly warmth Has held us close within your doors; But spring time brought the urge to go The carefree happy way youth soars— Yet now this year, we long to stay: We fear to tread an unknown way. 6 —s : = ee eS Se ——E ——=—S = —— SSS ——— SS SES ESSE SS SS) —— — “_J3 =f SSS pea — SSS SSSS__o4H}!]]—5 ———— = t a Z——= : SSO Up r SS SS Sa = =_, ‘i 1 mi t= 2-4 ZAMS Che Critic-Crest 1935 Swift is the Flight Swift is the flight of youth—a sudden sweep Of wind, a wave against an endless shore Recedes into itself, is seen no more, An impulse in a vast and changeless deep. Into this surging sea of life, youth came, Radiant, with candid eyes aglow, Unscarred in mind and soul he did not know Of guilt, of sorrow, no, nor even shame. Now, may the Hand that cherishes or mars, That gives the hopes, the traits that shape to grow Youth’s probity of soul, to each bestow Strength to surmount ambition’s sternest bars; For, youth, aspiring, ever strives. Although Blinded by sophistry, he gropes for stars. —AupDrREY N. Lona, Class Poet : iI | (eo) Che Critic-Crest Chapter 1 a@OUNG Sam Sucker poked his head through the mud and yawned widely. He was mildly surprised to see a few energetic fish swimming by with OY clean handkerchiefs in their pockets and slick brown books under their Te but he was too sleepy to do anything about it. Just as he was dozing off again his mother shook him by the gill and handed him a clam shell. “Hurry!” she said, “You'll be late for school.” Giving his fins a preliminary flip, he slid cautiously into the stream. Fish were swimming about excitedly. He caught glimpses of his acquaintances—lazy suckers, snoopy little catfish, ubiquitous tadpoles, and an inky squid or two. Sam didn’t want to start to school; he did it because he was told that it was proper. As time went on, Sam was swept into deeper water. Gradually he and his companions became accustomed to the increasing swiftness of the current. Those whose work conformed to instructions and who talked at the proper time and were quiet at the proper time were praised; and those who did no work at all and exchanged clam shells, chewed fishing worms, and blew bubbles were caught on snags or stranded on sandbars. Sam, who was neither good nor bad, drifted downstream. He did notice that the river was becoming broader. He was just a normal fish. He believed everything everybody told him, wept when he was reprimanded, beamed when someone patted his fin casually, did from force of habit everything he was told, and took the blame for the other fishes’ errors. Sam had no aspirations—no regrets. Sam was a Sucker. One day Sam, in a reckless mood, swam above the level usually occupied by suckers. Climbing up as far as the surface of the water, he po ked his head through. The broadness of the opaque river, the green of the trees on the shore, and the ineffable blue of the sky dazzled him. Above the river wheeled a silver gull—a sure sign of the proximity of the ocean, if Sam had only known. Sam was overcome with emotion. How he longed to be in the gull’s place—to see the river as a whole. He wanted to be above the petty affairs of his little world; to look down instead of being looked down upon. Sam, for the first time, had Aspirations—and it didn’t feel good. It never occurred to him that the gull might be envying him. Who is a sucker, that he should dream? Sam was afraid, and he dived home. For a while his mind retained a vivid image of the gull against the sky. He felt superior to the ordinary fish and seldom condescended to speak to them. As the days wore on, however, the image faded, and Sam drifted back into his old, slack methods of living. As the fish neared what Sam guessed to be the mouth of the river, they were not allowed to talk in the corridors, they must observe traffic rules (keep to the 9 Che Critic-Crest 1935 right and signify their intention to turn a corner), form orderly lines at the drinking fountains, hane their coats on specified hooks, hold their handkerchiefs over their noses when sneezing, wash their fins before entering the library, and above all, use a tray in the cafeteria. Sam’s so ourn here was brief. Soon, as an obscure member of a large group of fish, he was given some sound advice and bundled off. His destination didn’t worry Sam much. He simply followed the crowd. He was pondering on this when he looked up and saw before him a coral castle, beautiful against the wavy green background of the ocean. Sam stared, his mouth open and his fins moving absently. As he heard the swish of the seaweed at his feet, and felt the cool water at his gills, he had a mental picture of a silver gull, soaring. Sam’s mind was so far away that he didn’t see his companions entering one of the three large doors in the castle, ciattering about commonplace things. His reverie was interrupted by a down-to-earth voice at his elbow. ‘Hi, littlest. Better shut your mouth, or somebody’ll look down and see your tonsils.” “Yes'm,’ Sam gulped, adjusting his face and turning to see a neat, gray lady-fish by his side. “I was only—that is, I wonder—.” “Oh, you'll catch on,” said the fish consolingly. “Everybody does. This,” she announced, “is the Glass Aquarium, and J am Carrie Catfish.” She tucked her fin in Sam’s and led him up the steps. She was adept at dodging the eels and crayfish that lounged about, but Sam was tripped up several times. “You've got a lot to learn yet,” she told him. “Why, you don’t even know Mrs. Gregory!” “Mrs. Gregory?” asked Sam, because he thought it was his turn to say something. “Oh, she’s the dowager queen of the hermit crabs. They’re not a bad l ot, after you get used to ‘em. ‘Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.’ You can use that if you ever have to make a speech. Mrs..Gregory doesn’t care.”’ Sam wanted to stop and take his bearings, but Carrie hurried him into the lobby. “Always wear green shirts and blue ties,” she told him, “and keep your socks down. It’s a tradition. Looks funny, but you kind of get used to it. ‘By the way—if you hear anything unusual, don’t look around. It’s Everett. They say he’s harmless, but you never can tell.”’ ‘““Everett—who’s Everett ?”’ “Everett,” she informed him solemnly, “keeps time.” “To what?” “Time! time! You know—chewing gum, sixty minutes; late to class, thirty minutes.—Wait! if you want to know what time is, pull that chairron that post, twice.” She giggled, and because Sam always did what he was told, and because he was really interested in time, he pulled the chain—hard. He was rewarded by 10 1935 Che Critic-Crest WATKINS PROCTOR HARVEY For our honorable Senior President (Proc Harvey is his name ) We all predict in future time Wealth, happiness, and fame.

The innocent little darlings think the school’s on fire, and are they glad! They haven't had any fun since Mr. Lewis lost his voice.” Sam heard a rushing of fins above his head, and instinctively ducked as he saw hundreds of fish pouring down the steps, two by two. The tadpoles, in a big hurry to get somewhere quick, tripped each other up in their eagerness. The flounders plopped down heavily, their eyes bleary and their jaws sagging. The parrotfish talked on, and on, saying nothing at all with a great deal of energy. Sam watched them go by and tried to pick out types that he knew. “These,” explained Carrie, “are Seniors. But don’t blame them; it’s not their fault. You should see how conscientious they are and how they set such good examples for the Juniors and Sophs. Now, that one,” she pointed, “is Proctor Harvey. They elected him president from force of habit, you know. And you should see him preside. So informal-like. But he can look presidential on occasion. Just look at his picture. “And along side him you'll see Eunice Martin. You'll hear a lot about her, what with Latin tournaments and Senior Committees and all, not to mention being vice president of the Senior class.” Carrie talked very fast, and Sam, agape, watched the procession. He saw a few cautious crayfish, holding tightly to the railing, a gilthead or two, and more than one seahorse, snorting and ramping down the steps. “Next,” Carrie continued, “if you look closely, you'll see Chloe Waldron and Booth the Seventh, secretary and treasurer respectively, and crack commercial students withal. You should come and watch them sec and treas, sometime. They can always tell you where your $5.60 went, if you really want to know. “Ah, here’s what I’ve been waiting for,” sighed Carrie, “John Acree! Besides having a name starting with ‘A’ so he can come first in everything, he manages to be captain of the football team without getting kis nose broken. That within itself shows a genius. And he won the Rucker cup for excellence in athletics, scholarship, and citizenship, and he’s been president of the Honor League for two years and got more 5's than anybody else in the National Honor Society—but you'll be hearing more about him later. ‘“Here’s a modest chap—Stanford Schewel. He has some gooditraits, but you can carry altruism too far, you know. Maybe you can persuade him to show you some of the plaques and medals and things he’s won, if he isn’t too bashful. He’s editor of the High Tide and president of the David Garrick Players,too. He has a habit of organizing things, but really, the boy has to have some recreation. Don’t stare so. This isn’t the Jast time you'll see him.”’ 44 193 Che Critic-Crest Carrie was chattering gaily when something bounced down the steps, denting the iron railing and knocking not a little plastering off the wall. It unrolled on the first floor and slid out of the door, croaking raucously. | thatewas only. PauleGraves,. she explained complacently. He's all-at sea.” “But—” Sam pointed to the wrecked railing and lacerated wall. “Oh, that’s all right. Anice’ll fix it. She’s used to fixing things.” A jellyfish oozed apologetically out of the door, regarding Sam and Carrie sadly. By this time the fish had caught on to the fact that there was no fire after all, and were trailing back to their classes, led by Ann Marie Bowen. “You might have expected Ann Marie to be in front,’ commented Carrie. “She leads in everything, and she’s ever so systematical. You should have seen the orderly way she managed the Crest photographs. Still, you need somebody sys- tematical when Mildred Munday’s around. There she comes now. She lets her hair grow that way so it’ll be different, and she’s not half as mean as she looks. Chuck her under the chin and she'll say something witty for you.” Sam rubbed his fins together nervously and changed the subject. ‘“Who’s that on the landing?” he asked. “That’s Audrey Long. If you encourage her she'll give you a free lecture on Immortality to show you how intellectual she is. She writes prize-winning editorials just for fun.” “What’s she scribbling on that clam shell?” Sam asked. “Oh, just a sonnet,’ Carrie answered. “About Youth or something.” Sam heard Audrey mutter, half to herself and half to whoever happened io be listening, “Fourteen lines, iambic pentameter, division—8-6 or 10-4, or 12-2! Rhyme ABAB, CDC—.” Sam’s mouth fell open. “Fix your face! Here comes Jennie Rock. Maybe if you make yourself conspicuous enough, she’ll put you in the High Tide. She’s president of the Quill and Scroll and vice president of the National Honor Society and manages to keep cheerful at the same time. It’s quite an accomplishment.” As Jenny approached, Sam heard her murmur: ‘“ The time has come,’ says Moby Dick, ‘To talk like spouting springs Of high school history there and here And other noble things’.”’ “What’s she saying?” he asked. “S-sh! She’s practicing her commencement speech.” Sam’s attention was attracted to a very small fish beating her fins busily. She was surrounded by numerous other fish attempting to operate their fins likewise. “There’s method in her madness,” Carrie explained. “She’s teaching them how to write Senior verses—with meter and all. You'll see Ann Craddock and 45 Che Critic-Crest 1935 Glenn McCausland and Alma and Cynthia Cobbs and Ann Caldwell and Julia Shackelford and a few pinch-hitters. The little one who thinks she’s bossing is Mary Jane Sowers. If you tell her your name, she'll make up a rhyme about you. She loves it.” Just then Sam saw Robert Stevens and Ruth Bowles gliding down the corridor. In the course of their journey to the art studio on the third floor, they dropped one box of paints, three brushes, an eraser, and six linoleum cutters. Sam started to retrieve them, but Carrie gurgled, “Just leave “em be. They’ve got plenty more. It’s just their way of being nonchalant.” Sam took her word for it, and they wandered into the auditorium. On the stage Stanford Schewel and Homer Anderson were yelling “ ‘Tis !” and Lou Saxton and Ed Embree were replying just as loudly, “ ‘Taint !” “They're just having a little argument about a retail sales tax,’ explained Carrie. “But if they enjoy it, why not let ‘em go ahead? They might be big fish in Congress some day. And speaking of Congress—you should have come to Washington. It was highly educational, so to spéak. Alice Herncall learned all about suspenders, and Uncle Charlie came nigh on to seeing the law of gravity demonstrated. You'd love the alphabet soup and mashed potatoes.” Sam pretended to catch on, and laughed appreciatively. Carrie, thus en- couraged, continued. “Do you like optimists? Anytime you need cheering up just find Tom Farrar. He’s editor of the Critic, and he goes around begging for work. He’s happiest when he’s counting lines or discrowding pages, so I’ve heard. He seems to exert an influence over the whole staff. They're the most light-hearted bunch I ever saw— never worry about deadlines or anything. And James Smith! He’s business manager, and you should see the lovely reports he respectfully submits. They’re beautiful to look upon, what with the green ink and violet ink and red ink and all the figgers added up right. I know, because I checked them myself. “That isn’t all the celebrities, either. The Seniors got political the other day and elected a Shell of Fame. They were afraid their names would be writ in water, so—” Carrie showed him a scalloped shell on which with a shark’s tooth for a pencil she scrawled a score or so of names. While Sam was trying to translate her hieroglyphics, Carrie chatted comfortably, regaling him with juicy bits of gossip about things in general. Sam was glad she did all the talking, because reciprocating involved too much effort, and Sam didn’t feel like making up answers. Besides, he didn’t have to listen unless he cared to. Carrie didn't notice. ‘Approaching now,” she told him, “you'll see Libba Haley. She’s a salmon coquette, if you know what I mean. You probably don’t, but you will after you’ve been around a while. 46 “If you hear any sirens out exercising their vocal chords, you may be sure they’re Estelle Agee and Evelyn Maddox. Estelle’s been in the operetta for the last three years, and Evelyn made her debut as a soloist in ‘Tune In.’ Would you care for some Kroggins’ Kippered Kodfish? “Speaking of music, do you know we have a connoisseur of opera in our midst? The next time you want to know about the arias in ‘Aida,’ or how the Barcarolle from “Tales of Hoffman’ goes, just ask Glenn McCausland. He'll know, like as not. He had us all gaping at his play ‘Interlude.’ The Critic broke an unwritten law and let him put cuss-words in it, but an artist has to be pampered, and they were Italian cuss-words anyway—.”’ Carrie broke off suddenly and fixed her fishy eye on Sam. “I hope I’m not keeping you away from class or anything. It is so seldom that I get hold of some- body who won't fight back. I have so many interesting things on my mind, but I can never find anyone to tell them to. It’s not considered the best form to talk to yourself. Seniors can do it, but they have special privileges. Now you (of course you'll excuse my being so frank) can’t expect to be a Senior for a decade or so. Alice Herncall, little as she is, finished in four years and was the first Senior to get a job, but what can you expect from a gawky sucker like you? Shut 47 Che Critic-Crest 1935 your mouth and look interested, even if you’re not. That’s the secret of success. Miss Wiggins says she grades on looks. What chance, then, has a catfish in a class with Cecil Taylor and Clyde Rea and Jack Lindsay? But we won't dwell on that. “Here comes the owner of the largest collection of brass buttons known to the civilized world—Arlene Tweedy. She has some rare specimens, I assure you, and modesty alone prevents her telling you the hazards involved in obtaining them. She has the system down to a fine point. The principle is about the same as that used in angling—wait patiently for your chance and act quickly when it comes. Arlene is really a nature-lover at heart. She has a passion for arbutus. The ones on Candler’s Mountain are her favorites, but any old arbutus will do in a pinch. She isn’t particular. ‘By the way — she’s vice president of the Athletic Association, and one of those indispensable attributes of the football team—a cheer leader. But that comes later. Right now, you'll see a learned-looking codfish in tortoise shell glasses approaching. It’s Doctor Jones. He looks innocent enough, but he'll take your picture quick so he can get ahead of Charles Butler.” Carrie paused for a minute and regarded Sam quizzically. She could see that he hadn’t heard a thing she'd said, so she pinched his fin. “Try to pay attention! Just when I’m being most amusing, you go to sleep on me. You know, one really does go to school for an education and I'll prove it. Here are some choice specimens of the genus Shark. The little brunette with the ambition to be six feet tall is Julia Shackelford. If she likes you, she’ll let you call her ‘T Cookie,’ but don’t expect too much at first. She and Richard Hammerstrom made the highest average for the second six weeks this term. Richard’ll be along in a minute, but now we'll gaze upon the Unknown Quantity—Frances Utley. With all her versatility she’s amazing, but does she care? Oh, no! She wheels her brown eyes around most dexterously, and continues to be a Sphinx. With the proper inducements, she’ll sing to you, or make a speech, even. She made the highest six-weeks’ average when she , was only a 2A. And now, here’s Richard. His grades soar like— “Like a gull,” supplemented Sam, ogling Richard and thinking of his own mediocre 74's and 83's. He could see the long-forgotten gull, sailing placidly above the muddy river, and he started finning desperately after Hammer, forgetting the catty Carrie whose turn it was to stare with her mouth open. Sam's hibernating ambition was again aroused, and Sam, poor sucker, was determined to see his grades soar like the gull. Hammer was far down the corridor by now, but Sam did his best to catch up. Carrie shook her head wisely and sat on the bottom step to wait for him. She knew he’d be back. 6 = S La a SS as) v 2 ya © s S 3S is} = Q Che Critic-Crest 1935 Chapter 2 FARRIE was right. It wasn’t long before Sam came minnowing along, 4 looking very much stepped on. “It was too hard,” he explained. “I Sq couldn't keep up.” a) “Just what I expected,” said Carrie in a conventional told-you-so tone. “Such as that isn’t for suckers. This is the place for the likes of you. Besides, there’s lots you haven’t seen yet. What’s the matter with your fins?” “T bruised them,” sobbed Sam, “I bruised them on an irregular verb.” “Well, let that be a lesson to you. Come on and look at classes.” “May I ask one question?” interpolated Sam timidly. ““Why do Seniors have such broad fins and such fluffy tails?” “Oh, that’s just to stir up a lot of hot air,” explained Carrie, “to impress the small fry like you. Now, as we pass the classrooms, I'll point out the celebrities to you. My patience is infinite, I’ve been told. And I’m fairly convinced of it, now that I’ve had to contend with you. These,” she said as they passed a great many minnows who tried not to look too stupid, “are Sophomores. You probably know that, being one yourself. They’re not a great deal of trouble except when they get underfoot. I’ve stepped on several, myself, but there are always more to take the place of the damaged ones.” Sam waved companionably at Thebo Jennings and Russell McBride, whom he had seen make their dramatic debuts in “The Red Lamp.” ‘“Thebo,” Carrie told him, “writes. You'll see her spread all over the Critic afore long. ‘There's Anne Campbell. She had us all standing on our ears when her story, ‘Niggertown Shug,’ came out. As soon as we could attain an upright position, we went out and paid the premiums on our ‘bury polishes’.” Anne said “Hi” and patted Sam on the fin as she passed, and Sam swelled with pride. -He held his head so high that he didn’t realize when they were approaching a hideous skeleton lying crumpled on the sandy floor of the ocean. Not until he stumbled over a bony declension did he notice where he was, and then with a startled gasp he started to run back. Carrie caught him by the fin and hissed in his ear, “Stop! It’s only Latin. A dead language, you know. Look!” Sam saw several electric fish swimming merrily among the ribs. Jeannette Hughes was nibbling at the accusitive case, and Eunice Martin was juggling sub- junctives and ablative absolutes, and seemed to be actually enjoying it. ‘Eunice,’ commented Carrie, “won a 150-shell scholarship for getting second place in the Latin Tournament. You remember seeing her among the Seniors. She can make Cicero take a back seat, seems as though.”’ 4; Sam regarded Eunice respectfully a minute before he asked, “What does Trudy Kern do? I’ve heard about her, too.” 50 Elasses Che Critic-Crest 1935 “Makes speeches. She belongs among the Juniors—the Trout, I calls ‘em. Next time you have a long afternoon to spend, ask Trudy a question, and before she’s finished answering it, your time’ll be up and you can go home. Trudy always gets where she’s going, but she likes to take her time. I bet she was brought up on ‘The Hare and the Tortoise’.” Sam had wandered off. He saw some nice worms suspended at a convenient height in the water, and he wanted them. Carrie finned after him and caught him roughly by the gill. “Don’t never! They ook good, but they’re dangling participles. That goes for the split infinitives, too. The hermit crabs say they’re poison, but personally, I don’t believe them. It’s whispered that Miss Wiggins indulges in them privately, but I suppose it’s only a rumor. The rest of ’em say that to intentionally split an infinitive is the only unpardonable sin.” Sam didn’t like gossip, so he changed the subject. ““Who’s president of the Trout?” “Florence Merryman. She'll be a model Senior next year if I’m any prophet. And she’s one of our literary luminaries, too, according to the Critic. “Tom Faulkner’s president of the Minnows. We'll be hearing more about him forthwith. “Here comes Tulane Craddock. He has an editorial look about him, don’t you think?” They wandered into the Senior office, and while Carrie rattled along happily, Sam read the names carved on the table. “That,” she said, ‘is an unofficial record of all graduates. No one dares leave this institution without leaving his John Henry around in some conspicuous place. You'd better start cutting yours now, or you won't get through. The only reason why I don't graduate is that mine’s not 9s finished Sam was leaning over the railing waving desperately to Betty Neher. He’d never seen her before in his life, but she just affected him that way. “Oh, where,” he sighed, “has she been all my life?” “V. P. I., most likely,” answered Carrie drily. Sam thought he detected a note of jealousy in her voice, but he wasn’t sure. She looked pensive, so he cast about for something to cheer her up. “Uno Jeanne Burnett?” “Oh, yes,” Carrie brightened. “She was in the operetta, and she fairly had us swinging on the chandeliers, so gleeful were we. After hearing Jeanne warble ‘The Gate Is off Its Hinges,’ one can really appreciate opera. By the way—you haven’t seen the Commercial Department. Let’s go up and take a look.” Sam followed her to the third floor, pausing at the top to wonder what would happen if he should spit all the way down to the basement. He heard the staccato click of typewriters and was kept busy dodging the fish dashing by with sheaves of paper in their fins and worried frowns on their faces. Somewhere he heard a harried voice complain, “Forty-seven, eighty-eight, ninety-four—Awk!

Every pupil except one had neat rulers, pencils, erasers, pens, and blotters arranged on his desk, and that one was trying to hide in his ink-bottle. Sam recognized Walter Whately. “What “Don't say a word,” whispered Carrie. “You might disturb the papers on Mr. Burmahln’s desk.” ” he began. re 54 Class of 1937 2A nN SOPROMORE CLASS OFFICERS President Tom FAULKNER LE PIT SATE ETF Eee em eae een a cee ane en ee wae A COPLEY Secretary JEANETTE HUGHES Tear AISTET Cee ee oe eg epee ene ee _....

In one corner Ethel Waugh was tearing her hair despondently. Sam took the liberty to look on her desk to see what was the matter, but found only what he thought to be a very neat piece of penmanship. “Tt’s a capital crime,” explained Carrie, “to omit loops in your e’s and ’s. And if you forget the hickey on your F’s, you’re disgraced for life. As for writing a figure in the wrong column—,” she couldn't think of a punishment cruel enough. Sam was horrified, and made for the door, followed by Carrie. “Now we'll try Office Training,” she suggested, after Sam had turned a cart- wheel down the hall just because he could. “Be sure you have pfenty of paper clips and don’t bite your fins.” As they entered the door Miss Childress began with- 56 a 1935 | Che Critic-Crest Class of 1938 2A out preamble. “If a mortgage pays six per cent, what is a bill of lading and would you cross-reference or not?” “N-No’m,” stammered Sam. “I mean, y-yes’m, I mean—opinions differ.” Miss Childress gave him a withering glance. “Who said anything about opinions? That doesn’t come until the next chapter.”’ Sam, reduced to the size of a large cherry seed, dived through the keyhole and stood by the drinking fountain until he attained his normal size. There he found Jack Younger engaged in calculating what his net profit would be if he sold seven second-hand fishingworms at a ten per cent reduction. Carrie and Sam paused in a shorthand class to watch Miss Porter dictate at 120 words a minute, which is, Carrie remarked, almost as fast as Alice Herncall a7 FALULTY MISS FISHER MR.

Mary Ellen Harris was prancing over the keys at the rate of seventy words a minute. “Tt’s all done with mirrors,” remarked Sam, who still used the hunt-and-peck system. He was so inflamed with jealousy that Carrie dragged him down the steps and marched him along the second floor to give him time to repent. Miss Edmunds sat in the corner and regarded them with a cold, fishy eye. “She'll get you if you’re not smart like I am,’ remarked Carrie. “Now J—.” “Permits, please,’ requested Miss Edmunds, smugly, as if she knew all the time that they had none. “No loitering in the halls without permits.” “Oh, we’re working on the Critic,” fibbed Carrie smoothly and dragged the horrified Sam into the English Conference Grotto. Sam had been taught that one treated the Hermit Crabs with a cringing respect, and here was Carrie being frivolous with one. “But—but she—,” he began. “Oh, the hermit crabs are all right, especially Moby Dick, the King of the Aquarium. We call him Hac because it’s not his name. You know him— ‘How cheerfully he seems to grin And neatly spreads his claws And welcomes little fishes in With gently smiling jaws’.” And then there’s Poppa Porpoise, the crown prince, who distributes tickets to Davy -Jones’s Locker. But I needn’t explain. You probably know more about Davy Jones’s Locker than I do, and Davy, too. “If you want Miss Payne to like you, get in the habit of making lists of things.” “What lists ?” “Any old lists. She has an overwhelming passion for lists. She doesn’t feel natural without them. By the way—carry her a sea-anemone occasionally just to be on the safe side.” “How about Mr. McCue? I’ve heard something about him.” “Oh, he’s the custodian of the fishingworms. And he knows how to get on the inside of things. He’s faculty manager of the football team, which is, mind you, no small matter. “The Hermit Crabs had their pictures taken a while ago. If you had seen them posing you would have thought they were Seniors. It seems that the traditional portraits were out-dated or something. Everybody looked far too young, and that would never do. Isn’t that just like a crab?” Just then Sam heard a sound like distant thunder. It rose occasionally to a metallic whirr, and then fell to a low resonant groan. Sam was greatly agitated, 61 Che Critic-Crest but Carrie seemed to take it as a matter of course. Sam had a feeling of awe, mingled with curiosity. ‘““Whazzat?” he asked. “Only Triton. He blows his horn up in Grotto 303. Want to take a look?” Sam followed her. He was not a little afraid, but his curiosity was insatiable. is eyes bulged in anticipation of the sight that he was soon to see. As soon as entered the Grotto, Triton plunged into a harangue. “Jonah,” he shouted impressively, “swallowed the whale.” ‘But Mist’ Lewis,” interpolated a timid little fish. “Didn't the whale—.” “Jonah,” repeated Triton, “swallowed the Whale. And I can prove it. Listen! Atanygiventimethemarginalutilityofanycommoditytoitsownerdecreaseswitheveryin- creaseinthestockpossessedorconsumed. See?” “Yessir, gasped the little fish. “I see fine.” Sam backed out of the grotto and bounced down the steps on his head, muttering incoherently, “the Whale swallowed Jonah—Jonah swallowed the Whale —the Whale swallowed—.” Carrie patted his fin sympathetically. “I know. I used to think so, too. You'll recover. Look out!” She dodged, but Sam was hit squarely on the head by a logarithm, ridden by Poppa Porpoise with Julia Shackelford.in tow. Poppa looked around and warned, “Don't square the cube root!” Julia added, “And mind your sharps and flats!” Sam didn’t see the connection. “She thinks it’s a log-a-rhythm,” explained Carrie. Sam was still a little dazed, but she took him by the fin and dragged him down the steps and out of the door. “We're going places,” she told him. “Here’s Coach Funk and Dick Berry and Chick and Justice and—.

He could see that they were just outside a large field marked with ever so many white lines and surrounded by rickety benches, one atop the other. At the gate Cary Hutter and Jack Basham were receiving the shells proffered by the fish, who seemed to be most desirous of getting inside. As they swam through the gate, a frog-orchestra arrayed in blue capes and white trousers were puffing energetically on very shiny horns. hats thea band,” remarked Carrie. lhey re a good example-of where misused energy can get you.

Clark made one of the most sensational plays of the season at Newport News—raced 88 yards on a trick reverse play behind perfect interference and made a touchdown on the opening kickoff. Doesn’t it sound technical? It makes better sense if you say it backwards. “Justice is a good all-round man, and so is Faulkner. Faulkner’s an import from Charlottesville. He’ll be first assistant captain for football and co-captain for basketball next year. Watch him shine!” Sam noticed that the yelling was becoming more orderly; due, perhaps, to the entrance of Proctor Harvey, Mary Eleanor Hillsman, Jack Plunkett, Betty Neher, Leete Sandidge and Arlene Tweedy. “Cheer leaders,’’ Carrie commented briefly. “They don’t act like that all the time—only during the games. They do our jumping up and down for us. We can’t on account of these benches.” 67 Che Critic-Crest Coach There was a breathless pause before the starfish ambled out to the field, carrying an elliptical sponge. ‘““Here’s where the fun begins,” said Carrie. There was a confusing tangle of fins, and the sponge sailed miraculously through the water. From that time forth, Sam was in a daze. He yelled when Carrie punched him, and stamped on the heads of the fish in front of him. “It’s all in the game,” she told him philosophically. Occasionally one of t he starfish broke loose with the sponge, and then the others chased him and flopped on him until his bones scrunched and he had to let go. Then it began all over again. After a few hours of face- bashing, all the fish in the grandstand started pouring down into the field. Carrie caught Sam’s fin and pumped it up and down eagerly. “We won!” she yelled, “We won!” “How do you know?” asked Sam. “T don’t, but that’s what everybody says. Football's a great game, Sam.”’ “Yes,” Sam agreed, wondering if his larynx could be successfully repaired. “These athletes,” she told him as they trailed back to the aquarium, “‘are very versatile.

He’s the one with the moustache. If you value your existence, don’t step on his shoes. He shines them carefully so they'll reflect his good nature. He’s co-captain and a straight shooter, too.” Sam felt something whiz by his ear. “That was Al Marcotte, the track captain, doing the fathom in 2 minutes, 2.6 seconds. It’s a new high school record. Al’s a swell guy. You might think running was his favorite sport, but he likes to dance right smart. 69 Che Critic-Crest 1935 “Clinton Prebble’s the star hurdler. He holds the school record, too. Such swiftness! Such perseverence! Such form! Maybe his trips to Danville have something to do with it—I dunno. “Then there are more: Dabney for the broad jump, Hobbs for the high jump and hurdle, Justice for low hurdles, Harvey Nichols for the pole vault and dis- tance runs (look ‘em over sometime!)’’ Carrie took a deep breath. “And Lloyd Phillips! Listen. 100- and 220-yard dashes, shot-put, javelin, discus, backfield in football—. Phillips is an all-round starfish. “The team finished third in the state meet at Charlottesville with 2614 points. Marcotte and Prebble were the high scorers, and they had plenty of competition.” Sam was enviously watching Hugh Gantt and Lou Saxton swing tennis rackets strung with seaweed. “Why can’t I be on the tennis team?” he whined. “Because it’s not for suckers like you,” snapped Carrie. “You have to prove your ability to make a tennis ball behave before you're considered. Just watch the Dunningtons.”’ Sam and Carrie had again reached the Aquarium. “How about the girls?” asked Sam. “Aren't there some athletes among them too?” “Oh, yes. Want to go down in the gym and see what Coach Dabney’s doing ?”’ “The Senior Team retained the championship of the Senior Girls’ League in an undefeated season, winning six second-highest scores in the league. In the Junior League, the Blue Team got the championship with four straight wins, mind you! The other high school entry in this league was in second place, losing only to the Blue Team. This team was paced by Helen Bradley, who scored 112 points— an average of 28 a game. Margaret Fuller, her teammate, was in runner-up position, with 57 points. The next three high scores were on the White Team, giving the high school the first five high scores in the Junior League. How’s that for a season?” boasted Carrie. Sam could only blink. Coach Dabney blew a whistle in his ear, so he retreated to a corner to dodge volley balls. Carrie took refuge beside him and told him about the Monogram Club. “The members of this club,” she said, “all have neat pieces of Turkish toweling to sew on their sweaters. Now , that is, if I cared to, could make one out of a washrag, but these athletes, who aren’t half as resourceful as you might expect, work for theirs. They are presented at assembly, and we look envious and use all kind of persuasive methods to bum one off some Adonis with half a dozen.” When there was a lull in the game, Carrie and Sam dived out of the door. Sam was glad to fall back into normal methods of behavior. Ewery fish has an opportunity to shine, he mused, and the athletes’ comes first.

His eyes grew wider and his jaws fell again as they approached a large fish bowl, resting solidly on the bottom of the ocean. When they had finned their way through the gaping crowd, Sam saw thirty-one smug little goldfish swimming daintily inside. “Why a fish bowl?” asked Sam. “S-sh,”” she admonished. “It’s the National Honor Society.

It’s said to be the highest honor a graduate can attain.” -I] to 1935 Che Critic-Crest PE VEON Wig GONG) mies Ne uct coat te, Sp eee hs adie iS Tom FARRAR LEAS VCE IGNITENAIIAIC OS?

But he can’t help it. He was born that way.” As they came nearer the bowl and pressed their noses against the glass, Sam recognized Jennie Rock. “She’s vice president. We'll be seeing Jennie off and on for quite a while yet,” I , Carrie offered. “Alice Herncall’s secretary, and Richard Hammerstrom’s treas- urer.

Seeing Richard had awakened the image of the gull, and Sam was trying to forget that memory. He talked fast about some- thing else. “What does the National Honor Society do except have a bowl to themselves ?”’ “Oh, they coach. If you find yourself flunking anything just tell Cynthia Cobbs and she'll have you a teacher in no time.” Sam made a mental note of it. “There’s another honorary society, too—the Quill and Scroll. Get you a blotter and we’ll see what they’re doing.”’ i Sam and Carrie found a number of squids viciously squirting black ink at passers-by. As soon as Miss Moore and Jennie Rock appeared, they ceased being public nuisances and balanced neatly on their tentacles, awaiting orders. “Who wants to be on the Quill and Scroll broadcast?” asked Jennie. 74 1935 Che Critic-Crest Nattonal Honor Society OFFICERS TEU MAGNOR AS Nols pW Oe al oy LIE io Rea Se JoHN ACREE UR TES RYIGUSTLES © cae), he ace ak AE Ae Rn TC JENNIE Rock SAAC RUC NR ode ee SE AE ANT Racal eA ALICE HERNCALL DES AG HVE dg a Bee tea re eC re, RR RicHARD HAMMERSTROM “TI do,’ answered Stanford. “And you've got to tell them I’m editor of the High Tide, state champion debater, and holder of many high-school honors or else I won't play. Are there any committees I can be chairman of while I’m waiting ?” Jennie gave him a withering glance. “We're having Ben Belitt and William Mundy. You only introduce the speakers. The Squill ’n ’Croll will please come to order.” “Tell’m about the Bransford Vawter Memorial Fund I have charge of,” urged Stanford. “Tell’m—.” “Oh, yes,” said Jennie. ‘““We found that the grave of the first Lynchburg poet is unmarked, and we’re taking donations to give him a monument. If any of you feel musical you might sing ‘I’d Offer Thee This Hand of Mine.’. It beats Ben Jonson, thinks I.

On their way to Grotto 103 they passed the office, where a group of fish were arguing vociferously with Moby Dick. “They're the Student Advisory Council,” explained Carrie, “and their job is to tell Moby how to manage the aquarium. Nancy Craighill just waves her eye- lashes at him, and he has to give 1n.” Sam stopped up his ears until they reached the Press Room. “T’m sorry Stanford and Jennie aren't here to show you around,” Carrie remarked, “but I think I do fairly well, myself. Now that the High Tide has reached the age of discretion it’s allowed to take a little trip to Ambherst every week. oe ‘‘No, what you see on the board isn’t a science formula. It’s a headline.

One of these days when I’m feeling mathematical, I'll tell you about them. “The next time you do something spectacular, count on Dora Hiller or Margaret Travis interviewing you. Bring a dogfish to school, or put. a barnacle up Miss Talbot’s sleeve, and you’re sure of attracting attention. “You've heard something about the Critic already, possibly. They won a first award and All-American rating this spring and came back from Lexington last fall with two genuine silver cups, suh! They were afraid to put the humor editor’s jokes in because of the danger of splitting the subscribers’ sides. There’s a law against it, or something.” Sam marveled at the demented look of the staff and wondered how such poor fish ever got on anything. “Don’t judge them by their appearance,” said Carrie. 17 Che Critic-Crest 1935 Spanish Club Fall OFFICERS Spring FIpLENe DROCKS 2. 2a ees Presents 27 eee GORDON WATTS PEXADS TIARRICw coe Fis eases ee Vice d Vesileni ae eee I'RANCES JEFFERSON MARIE PADGETT.u..cceecccceee a ee S CC rerory Sn oe eu Sw PES VIRGINIA SMITH TACKS PLUNKET hoes a ee EV OOSUP CHa tend Ie re eh ee JAcK SMITH GOURTEAND -[ONES conan Sergeant-di= Asis sox cane eee OweEN PETERS DS PONSOV seas sects ig eetastse Peano hase a Miss BELL ‘They weren't that way originally.” Sam preferred to change the subject. ““What’re these David Garrick Players I’ve been hearing about?” he asked. “Tt’s a federation of actors-who-make-good.

But it’s no infant. It was born only this year, but it has more members than any other high school organization. Ask Margaret Wood—she’s president. Or we might go up to the studio and take a look.’’ They swam leisurely to the third floor. “Robert Stevens,’ Carrie remarked, “will draw on your resources if you don’t be careful. He wouldn’t do it intentionally, of course, but you know how an artist is.” The art class was drawing bottles. Dick Wiley insisted on sketching Mickey Mice on his knee, but otherwise the work was progressing nicely. How beautiful bottles are, and how symmetrical! How subtle are lights and shadows! How exquisite are the colors in a brown jug! Sam watched in awe for a few minutes, and then tiptoed carefully out of the room on his tail. Going out, he stepped in Marguerite Finch’s paints, but Marguerite didn’t notice. She was squinting at the model and measuring it with the end of her pencil. 79 Che Critic-Cres 1935 PHrench Club OFFICERS President...........

As soon as Cynthia noticed Sam’s arrival, she asked politely, “Comprenez-vous le francais?” Sam swelled with pride. For the first time in his life, he was given credit for average intelligence, and he was glad. He thought hard for three seconds, and then sang happily: “Oui, Mademoiselle Cobbs, et hon soit qui mal y pense.’ Sam didn’t know what it meant, but he had heard it somewhere before, and it sounded so jaunty. He grinned and waited for applause. Carrie, always helpful, tapped her forehead and winked at Cynthia, who found Sam some past perfect tenses to play with until he could recover. se The Spanish Mackerel were tilting at windmills, so Sam and Carrie didn’t disturb them.

After watching breathlessly for a few minutes, they started searching for the German Club. “There is one,’ Carrie insisted. “I remember Hammer being elected president.” After a few hours of turning over oyster shells and looking behind coral reefs, they found Uncle Charlie seated comfortably on a conch shell, plying the club with poetry. “Full many a gem of purest ray serene The dark, unfathomed caves of ocean bear—.” “But what,” asked Sam, “has that to do with German?” “Nothing,” replied Uncle Charlie, “except that it’s such a Iittle club.” “Oh, I see,” replied Sam politely, though he didn’t see and wished that he were somewhere else.

She’s a little girl, to fit the club. “Do you see what I see?” she asked suddenly, pointing where Alice Helen Langdon, Helen Jester, and Katherine Beck were finning merrily down the corridor with galoshes and wide umbrellas. “Who are they?” asked Sam, “and why do they mind the wet ?” “They don’t. They're Girl Reserves and they’re going to a convention and don’t want to get their ardor dampened. There’s nothing like being prepared. Mary Jane Crowell can tell you that. “You remember the Girl-Reserve-H1-Y play? How’d you like Charlotte Oppleman’s German accent and white stockings? Cecil Taylor wasn’t half bad either, and you just know Ed Embree was cut out for a preacher.” Sam nodded, and they went to see what the Chemistry Club was doing. 84 . 1935 | Che Critic-Crest Commerctal Club OFFICERS JERR ICT NG ot Rane Way AU RRO TA accra TOA ce ON oie oe eT ee ee Doris HARLOWE URED IE AAS HORE TIRE fc O eT a ee, SE SRS eR od eee eT eee meee AT MartHaA THOMPSON SSCA MOT IN oes OSE” Te OE atte A Aue en ee ee ee ae CATHERINE HANEL TEDRERRON TAS Nee hee Sa et ean le a ec COA Pe LE JOHN IKERSEY Florence Merryman was squinting down a retort, and Jerry Thomas and Jennie Rock stopped shaking test tubes long enough to ask, “Coming to our picnic?

Martha Thompson, resourceful soul, was swimming head down. “She does that because her fins get tired scraping on the sand Carrie. “I betcher the Commercial Club goes to bakeries just to eat. I betcher they all eat a dozen cakes apiece, more or less.

Come along.” They hurried up to the second floor, where they saw Tom Farrar, Andrew Williams, and Martin Jones disappear in a great square, clam-shell-lined grotto. Sam wanted to linger outside and look at the pictures on the bulletin boards, but Carrie tugged at his fin. “There’s lots more inside,” she said. “You aren’t allowed to cut your name on the nice, tender green tables and, when one of the water snakes hisses at you, you hafta keep quiet. Maybe you'd like to read the posters on the Wall, or count the cracks on the nose of Homer’s statue.

He was experimenting with the rubber stamps on the desk while Miss Craighill wasn’t looking. Just when he was getting absorbed in printing numerals on the back of a shiny new encyclopedia, a bell clanged and all the fish poured from the library and down the steps, dragging Sam with them. He lost Carrie, but it seemed that everyone was headed for a central point, so he just followed the crowd. Somewhere he heard Mr. Sydnor’s stentorian voice, “Go eely, now. Go eely. There’s plenty for everybody.” Sam caught sight of Carrie at the head of the line, casually chewing fishing worms. He grabbed a mug of seaweed soup and joined her. “Hello,” she mumbled, her mouth full. ‘“‘How’d you get to the cafeteria? Not ‘that I didn’t expect you to. The cafeteria’s a great institution, you know.” Sam punched the keys on the shell-register just for fun and spilled hot soup down Carrie’s neck. Carrie seemed to be accustomed to it and didn’t squirm much. 87 Che Critic-Crest 1935 DP ECL OTe ae. gat a ee aoe + ee hb sat idly DPR Ala eles een Mrs. D. M. Davis ASMSTONT Dir eCh On ee ee Mrs. D.

His old Aspirations had returned. With a spasmodic heaving of his fins, he reached the surface of the ocean. He missed the green foliage that he had seen on his previous trip, but the sky was still the same, and the silver gull sailed serenely above the waves. Sam gazed, enraptured. The gull was coming closer, and Sam’s gills beat rapidly. His moment had arrived. The gull swept through the air—and disappeared. Sam didn’t care. With a supreme effort, he leaped out of the water, beating his fins. Now his Aspirations were realized. Sam was soaring like the gull. With a proud chuckle, he dived home to tell Carrie. Sam was a Sucker. [oo] ir ow Advertisements 4 ay Oye ior er ¢ LYNCHBURG COLLEGE Lynchburg College is recognized as one of the first class educational institutions in the South.
