SONNET HENRIETTE ROSENBERG Perhaps some far-off day when time has flown To misty nether realms which we have passed Where nothing that is dim or bright can last, We shall behold the fruits of toils we've sown. Shall we behold them, standing there alone, ' Or will glad comrades cheer our divers ways? Shall we rejoice in fleeting hour-blown days? Or will harsh, chilling winds on us have blown? How glorious, if many years before, XVe could have scanned these dead and vanished years With eager, searching eyes that look ahead, And see what fate the future has in store, If all the time be filled with joy and tears, And to what unknown end life must be led. Stmoft EDITORIAL i W 4 it ' l l ll ,llll ' .lull ' The Class of '25 has a unique record in many ways. XVe have attended High School during a time when the school has undergone many readjustments, both externally and internally. The upper grades now attend the Junior High Schoolg and in the Senior building, the new schedule and supervised study have been inaugurated during our Senior year. .Ns the new system has been in use for only a short time, it cannot be determined as yet whether or not the students favor the new method of study, although this schedule has much to commend itself to the pupil, affording, as it does, an opportunity for more individual instruction. This year's class has the honor of being the largest class that has ever been graduated from the lfligh School. However, not only are we strong in numbers, but our scholastic record also does us credit, as twenty-five Seniors are on the honor roll. The selection of the Senior play showed clearly that the class was endeavoring to uphold a high literary standard, for there was consider- able discussion as to the respective literary qualities of the different plays considered, the whole class being interested, and, although Oscar XVilde,s play was quite ditiicult for a high school cast, as the characters were hard to portray, the class felt that such a play should be attempted on account of its literary merit. In spite of the difficult roles, the cast should feel itself highly complimented by the criticisms the play received. Many people considered it the best the High School has produced. The High School has made quite a noticeable improvement in one direction during the last four years, for, after innumerable talks in assemblyg and being inspired perhaps by the enthusiasm and cooperation of our musical director, to say nothing of our school pride in the new 35 THE RED and BLACK gymnasium, the High School has at last made a fair showing in the perf centage of students present at football, and especially basketball games. The material result has been the placing of the Athletic Association on a sound financial basisg but more important than all, the students have seemed to grasp the idea that the school activities, or those organizations representing the school, can succeed only hy the backing of the whole student hodyg that the cooperation of all concerned is essential to the prosperity of any undertaking, and that to accomplish anything for the community each one must make his individual effort. The class of '25 has done its bit for the school, the school has done much more for us. Now as the time for graduation draws near, we need only say that the class of '25 will always cherish the memory of the Glens Falls High School. 13. U. 4 l ' fN Z O M in' Q 4' l Q5 i l ..

HITCHCOCK September 4-At the beginning of this term I am at school, and in a more exalted position than before, blessed be God, I now being a Senior, which pleases me much. Our old teachers all present and also several new ones. September 6-Upon entering home room I discovered there a variety of mixed opinions. A majority of the boys, and in particular, H. VVard, were lamenting the separation ofthe lads and girls. But, methinks, I am glad in my heart, for, God pity me, I have been long a trifle shy in their presence. NVe did discover as our home room teacher a Mr. Ferguson, whom we did all heartily admire and enjoy. I also have discovered Mr. Ferguson does teach history, which has set all the Senior girls a-tWitter- ing. It was early ascertained that he is wearing a plain gold ring, which did break many a heart in secret, for, by truth, he is very pleasing to look upon. October 15-Up and betimes to the school. This afternoon the class officers were elected, 0. Bromley being made President, Marion St. Clair Vice-President, with Roberta Dougherty Secretary and D. Gallagher Treasurer. Also was elected a committee to select our rings, and Frances Spicer chairman. October Zl-Up betimes, and to school, having partaken of my frugal meal. There didst listen to a stirring History debate between three Presidential and Vice-Presidential candidates. XVas much im- pressed by speeches of Mr. Dawes and Mr. Bryan. THE RED and BLACK 38 October 25-To my studies as usual. The Iroquois staff elected this day, and J. Austin Editor-in-Chief, he being a most ardent writer. October 27-Up, and to my work, but not knowing my English les- son. My Lady Alexander was not overmuch pleased, and declared us all very stupid. I did laugh overmuch at Davis running in and out of his classes with a little black satchel, he being manager of basketball, and declares himself very busied. November 10-Late to school, which, methinks, does commence at much too early an hourg albeit, My Lord Robbins thinks differently. VVe did choose our class rings this day, the committee having picked out sev- eral from which the class might choose. A very fine ring selected at a good price, which did please me mightily. , November 14-Up betimes, and so to my work, but was no little dis- turbed by My Lord Robbins's message in Assembly. To my classes and made a good showing in my recitations, God be praised. 'Tis Friday afternoon and did fail to see Dickinson's familiar countenance. 'Tis vastly suspicious. November 20-Much ado last night over a meeting of the Ku Klux Klan, which P. Van Ess did attend out of curiosity, and was obliged to walk to his home in Gansevoort after. He related to us all his experi- ences, which were very amusing, albeit the long walk home did not please him overmuch. November 28-This morning did canvass among certain Senior girls to find the most handsome boy, and results were that J. Hitchcock polled a big majority. Methinks it needless to remark that I received one vote myself. November 29-This morning to school and did chuckle most un- heseemingly at the Arabian description rendered by P. Van Ess. Me- thinks I am a great admirer of Mr. Van Ess, but do deeply regret R. Parks attempting to model himself likewise. December 12-To Assembly hall this night, to hear the publique speakers, and I much pleased, for I did think it an excellent perform- ance. M. Lance did play very well upon his baritone, and L. Peabody and I. Steucke quite fine with their singing. - December 22-The Iroquois did make its appearance this day to the school. All declare it very fine and better than ever. December 23-Waked, up, and to school in the best of spirits, it be- ing the last day before Christmas vacation, when we all do plan a merry lime. . I 39 THE RED and BLACK December 31-To the new gymnasium this night, where the Senior Ball was held, a great event, and one which I did much enjoy. Many people present, and all did make merry and declare it a great success. January 5-Up by seven, and so to school, where I did try to study all day, but, Lord forgive me, I was fain to do nothing, it being the first day of school after vacation. Made a resolution to study much this year, and I pray I may do so, but fear my weakness. January 12-Up, and to school in much excitement, for I did try a Regents in Intermediate Algebra. To the theatre in the afternoon, feel- ing very gay, as I have no more school this week. January 26-Alas, but I was unable to attend school this morning due to a severe cold, and affliction of hoarseness. Methinks, the old mus- tard bags and ipecac will restore me to my health, but 'tis a sorry busi- ness. February 20-To the Assembly hall, where the orchestra did play for the publique this evening. Much praise to Mr, Moss for doing so fine Work, and every one mightily pleased, declaring it very melodick and well done. February 25-To the daily grind as usual, and did my stint. I was much disturbed at seeing the underclassmen scurry about the library, making overmuch noise but doing little work. I also did see A. Clark running about, and I was fain to see him put in place. March 1-A great commotion this day as the cast for the Senior play was chosen. Very many Seniors did stay after school to read before the judges, the parts of the butlers being most popular among the men, as they would put up a fine appearance, without overmuch work. March 2-This day My Lady Lundman did summon the chosen people to practice at school, the playing being An Ideal Husband, by Oscar Wilde, which, methinks, is a very fine piece, Haviland being the Ideal Husband. March 10-To Assembly, where comes a man from Cornell College, with very much to say about forests and forestry, the which we were most surprised to hear, and, too, the talk was very instructive. March 12-Up betimes, and with the lark, and betook myself most heartily of my breakfast, and thence to school, which I did just make in time. Upon entering discovered by some evil mischance I had neglected to don my cravat, and so betook myself hastily homeward in some con- fusion. S0 again to school in the afternoon and attended a class meeting for the choosing of The Red and Black staff, and was delighted to observe O. Bromley Editor-in-Chief. Arrived home in an exalted state of mind, and so to bed. THE RED and BLACK 40 March 19-Lay late as the Play is to be given this afternoon before the school, and the cast excused for the morning. And so to school, where I did find E. Hill walking about as a Lord, I scarcely recognizing him in the costume. And so we did act the play, albeit some felt a little befuddled, but did well withal. We were made to practice again this night for the last time, when there was much ado over choosing the dresses for the ladies. Home late, and so to bed. March 20-To the gymnasium at six to be made ready for the final performance and there found much commotion about the dressing rooms until the play had started. The play did go much better than yesterday, at which I was much pleased. Everyone did proclaim it a great success. My Lady Alexander was heard to exclaim that E. Hill was a great won- der at acting, which, methinks, is quite true. And so to the Coffee Shop, where we did eat and make merry, and thence home, and to bed. March 27-To school post haste, but failed in practically all attempts at recitation. May the Lord help me, but all desire for study has fied me. After a frugal supper, to the gymnasium, and there did see our team snatch a well earned victory from the very jaws of defeat. Our team played most creditably, and caused much cheering from our supporters. March 31-I much pained this morning in Assembly by action of cei tain Freshmen in the Balcony overhead. These did throw spitballs and papers on our unprotected heads, and show other forms of child- like playfulness. May God forgive me, but I did wish dire vengeance upon their souls. April 3-Up betimes and to school where I did note G. O'Connor and his motor vehicle Leaping Lena clattering and shaking by, and filled with joyous youths. I did sigh mightily for fear they would be late. Later I did see them come back, but having to run fast to reach school on time. April 5-This morning did, under influence of My Lady Alexander, read Mary The Third, which I consider a most horrible play. Ah, mel but what is the world coming to? But methinks, I shall never for'- give My Lady for so deceiving me. April 6-Alas for my poor bones! Was initiated into Hi-Y society this evening. What torture of fire, blood, and water I passed through, by the blessing of the Lord, and by my sacred oath shall never be re- vealed. To bed, and hope to rest well, despite my painful wounds, April 8-The Lord be praised, but this afternoon the second Iroquois this year did finally appear, it with a blue cover which Laura Thomson engraved, and a most exquisite pattern. Upon turning the pages I do discover the magazine written by one J. Austin, but despite the handicap 41 THE RED and BLACK it has some good. I did laugh most heartily at the jokes, and overmuch at a picture of E. Hill in a bathtub. May I be forgiven for this unseem- ing merriment. April 12-To Assembly this morning, where My Lord Robbins did make much excitement by announcing the Commencement Speakers. B. Bromley occupies the Valedictory, and has an average of ninety-three, which, methinks, is well near perfect, A. Reed following him as Saluta- torian. Our class is known about as an exceptionally brilliant one, for twenty-five have an average of eighty-five and over! April 22-Back to school this day, which is the first after our Easter Vacation. Thence to Assembly for a recongregation. My head is thicker, and my pocketbook lighter, thanks be to the many dances which I did attend. April 24-By coach this afternoon to Saratoga, where our baseball team crossed bats with our ancient rivals. I was not smitten with the game, due to a miserable rain which caused an early postponement, al- though, methinks, we had the better of our enemy. And so home, and to a good supper. April 28-Praised be God, at the end of April, I am in good health without any sense of ailments, excepting a slight touch of spring fever. I have studied hard and yet have much to be accomplished. And so I betake myself to that course for which, amidst all the discomforts of cramming, may the Good Lord prepare me. June 10-Everyone in much excitement now over the impending examinations. It seems queer, but many who have studied but little as a rule, now do study with great earnestness. June Z3 Cffommencement DayjMDid this day take part in a cere- mony of much solemnity and pretentiousness. We all received our dip- lomas, and feel very queer withal. The feeling cannot be described, but, methinks, must be experienced. But after all was over we did make merry, and feel very gay. , The End. , A I 1 I ELA55 Yhql I l PRUPHEEY MAIRIZLLIC MCNULTY BENJAMIN BROMLICY As the train wheezed into Albany, I gathered up my brief cases, containing the choicest samples of Parisian embroidery, and remarked to jim, It's been a long time since we've been in this section of the country, Jim. XVonder if we'll meet any of the old crowd? lJon't know, he grunted. Then as he received a gaily printed handbill from a uniformed attendant who was passing them to the dis- embarking passengers, he said, It rather looks that Way. Across the top was blazoned in red letters, The XVonder Artists, Durant and Dono- van, at the Capitol Theatre tonight. The greatest of aesthetic dancers, accompanied by the Marvelous Manipulator of the Drumsf, Astounded at this, we took a taxi to a downtown department sto1'e where -lim had an appointment. Next door to this I observed a sign, Madame Chappt-ll's Dancing School,-Lessons by appointment only. Do you suppose it's Meribah Chappell P ,lim asked. I.et's go up and find out, I replied. As we entered the elevator we came face to face with Cyrus Dean, who was operating the lift very capably. VVell, Cy always did want to uplift mankindf' Jim remarked as we entered the dancing school. Sure enough, there was Meribah, and assisting he1' very efficiently were janet Proven and Harold Goodness. All three were dressed in the height of fashion. A little dazed by so much magnificence, in spite of their cordial welcome, we left rather abruptly. limerging into the street, we were surrounded by four eagerly clamoring women who were all talking energetically at the same time. 43 r THE RED and BLACK VVe recognized our old friends, Dorothy Bullock, Charlotte Bitely, Mar- cia Ackley, and Mabel.Blittersdorff. We finally gathered that they were campaigning for Governor Foolem, who promised to remove all taxes on rouge and powder puffs. When, in self defence, we promised to vote for him, they rushed in wild pursuit up the street after a meek looking man, leaving us gazing after them. We then started to walk toward the rather dingy section of the city where my flivver, in which we were going to make the rest of the trip, was stored. On the way we came upon three lovely ladies angrily tear- ing a big poster off the side of a shed. The poster was a picture of Charles McKernon, hero of the prize ring, New York State's heavy- weight championg and the ladies were Leota Akins, Marguerite Beaudin, and Pauline Broomell, who were, as they tearfully informed us, install- ing vacuum cleaners and bathtubs in every Hat in the district, in an effort to clean up the place, and they didn't intend to have its morals corrupted by prize fighters. Prepared for anything after this encounter, we climbed into the Ford, and having purchased a paper, we went on our way. Catching a glimpse of an interesting picture in the artgravure section, I stopped the car and regarded it earnestly. Nellie Barber's face smiled moistly up at me from beneath the caption, Olympic Swimming Champion just a Small Town Girlfn' Beneath this was another picture headed 'Climpses from the Zoo. Here was Eugene Doty, standing on a step ladder wash- ing a giraffe's neck. Well, Iremarked, that boy always had high am- bitions. But Jim was staring fascinatedly at the news section, where in great blaring headlines an article told about the arrest of the socialist bomber, Silas Halperin. I suppose, Jim said, his training in the shot- put comes in handy in his profession. From the sporting section a big two-column article announced Glens Falls High's Wonder Team adds another big victory to its list. Critics say any team could do as well with Coach Mack's superb training. Too astounded to read further, I started the bus, and nearly suc- ceeded in running over Alyce Shapiro, who told us, with imperturbable good humor, as soon as we picked her up, that she had multiplied her father's business many times by her amazingly large sales of overcoats in the South Sea Islands, from which she had just returned. Now immune to astonishment, we left Albany behind. Being rather hungry, we stopped at a hot dog stand near a camping ground, a few miles out from the city. The proprietors not being in sight, we went to hunt for them, and found them putting up a tent with joyful alacrity for two maidens, Elda Hammond and Marion Hastings, who were leaning THE RED and BLACK 44 back comfortably in camp chairs, singing and thrumming their ukes in payment for the service. They were taking a gypsy vacation, and having a gorgeous time, they said. And we, with a vanishing dream of a suc- culent hot dog, agreed that they seemed to be enjoying themselves. Hungrily, we went on, and coming to the lovely colonial Roam Inn we decided to stop a while. On the lawn Roberta Dougherty was angrily trying to keep a huge Airedale dog from devouring an angora cat. Bert informed us that she was one of the owners, and Frances Flower the other. While Frances, in daintily ruffled apron and cap, served us with refreshing food, Jim asked curiously, To whom does that magnifi- cent mansion on the hill belong? Why, to Ed Gubitz, of course, she replied. You know he made an immense fortune, and, sad to say, he is still a bachelor. He has been proposed to countless times, and they say he hires Mary Owens, his social secretary, for the sole purpose of sending a typewritten form let- ter of refusal to the deluge of perfumed, colored notes he receives every day. The girls are getting a bit discouraged, but Mary, on account of her proximity, still-has hopes of capturing the old fox. And who, I chimed in, owns that peculiar looking place sur- rounded by wires, that stands down the road ? I That, Bert answered, belongs to Kenneth Bowers, who is still experimenting with radio. A whirring, roaring noise outside the window startled us, and look- ing out we saw an airplane swoop down, just skimming the ground, and then dart up again and disappear into the clouds. That foolhardy person is Edmond DeMarsh, Frances said. He had such high ideals, you know, nothing but aeroplane and Hying could satisfy him. I had picked up a magazine, Vogue for Men, and was idly turn- ing the pages, when I saw the words, Allison Ellsworth Says, at the top of a page. Underneath were many pictures of Allison in various modes which the great fashion dictator called correct. As I glanced up I saw jim bowing and smiling to a stately dark haired beauty dressed something in the style of the old screen favorite, Nita Naldi. Jewels sparkled from every part of her costume. Suddenly I recognized Edna Gleason, who was, she said, doing rather well selling jewelry for IfVool- worth. Who is that distinguished looking woman in the tailored suit ? I asked her. NVhy, that is Mahala Haviland, the richest saleslady in the world. She has exclusive rights for the selling of B. V. D.'s in Alaska. 45 THE RED and BLACK Pleasant as it was to linger with so many old friends, we had to leave, for Jim had an appointment with a prospect at Saratoga Lake. As we bumped along our way we saw a slim feminine figure in overalls artistically painting on a huge boulder Use Curit- Good for Wha- To our amusement we recognized Laura Thomson, and waved. She blew us two kisses in return, one for herself and one for Violet Moore, who stood holding the paint can for her. The first thing that attracted our attention as we reached Saratoga Lake was a handsome, bronzed lifeguard surrounded by a laughing group of maidens-Eloise Scofield, Beatrice Rhodes, Grace Usher, and Thelma White, to be exact. The lifeguard was Maurice johnson and he was supporting Henriette Rosenberg in the water fthanks to Archimedesl, and teaching her to swim. I stood talking over old times with them while jim transacted his business. Then we started back. A little way along the road we came upon a gentleman in a frock coat, who was sitting by the roadside wear- ing an expression of such acute distress upon his face that we stopped, and asked if we could aid him. Ah no, my dear friends, he said drearily. 'Tis not material but spiritual affairs that trouble me. But-stay-do you not know me ? After a searching scrutiny we found that we did. It was Mac Lance, whose decision to go to China as a missionary had so dumb- founded us years ago. He was home on a two-year leave of absence, he told us. I am worrying profoundly over the moral and spiritual welfare of Ralph Parks, he said. He has sadly degenerated. I ran across him in Turkey, where he has established a residence, and, hor- rible to state, he has revived the dying custom of keeping a harem. Ah, Ralph, Ralph, my dear friend- We left Mac solemnly shaking his head, and whirled on. After a short time we saw four roller skaters swaying down the state road. They were carrying banners announcing the release in the near future of a revival of the wonder picture, Merton of the Movies, with How- ard Potter in the leading role. The skaters were Pearl Harris, Dorothy Hunter, Dorothy Slavin, and Pearla Linindoll. They were skating from coast to coast as a publicity stunt for Howard. VVe entered Saratoga just in time to see Esther Reed, Rachel Lat- timore, Isabelle Jenkins, and Ruth Murray rushing wildly along with suitcases bulging with green tickets. We called to them and asked what the idea was, and Ruth shouted without stopping a moment, It's a lot- tery. lillwood Hill couldn't decide whom to marry-and he was hard THE RED and BLACK ' ' ' V g- 46 up for money, so he's going to marry the girl with the lucky ticket. We've bought the whole lot. . ' Congratulations, we shouted back, and, Weak with laughter, we drove on. Soon we passed a majestic young lady, very chic in a tailored riding suit. The man to whom we were giving a lift for a few blocks whispered in jim's ear, Say, brother, if you go to the races tomorrow, bet on Marvel. He's the fastest ten-year-old in the world. Miss Mar- garet Smart, who has had such a lucky season, is entering him in the third race. Leaving Saratoga we passed, a few miles from the city, a line of convicts mending the road. To our horror we recognized the end man as Benjamin Bromley! Not wanting to humiliate him by speaking to him, we stepped on the gas, and went sadly on our way. Suddenly jim exclaimed from the depth of his paper, Will you listen to this! 'The Hon. Abie Reed, first president of the newly formed Jewish state of Palestine, took the oath of ofiice yesterday. President Reed has a large following, especially among the women voters, but it is rumored that the K. K. K. recently organized in Palestine, under the able leadership of Francis Roach, has become already a serious menace to Mr. Reed's peace and happiness' Quite a rise for Abie, I should say, and say, look here 5-Johnnie Austin's still making himself famous by his verse. His latest is printed here, entitled 'Every Banana Has Its Peal.' I always told you he should have been locked up somewhere long ago. Quite interesting, said I. Have any more of our acquaintances burst forth into print? Sure thing. Here's a little article about that old classmate of ours, Minnie Mark. She's been convicted of bigamy! She always was an awful vamp, anyhow, but it really Wasn't her fault, after that Senior play of ours. It seems Minnie pleaded guilty, but stated that it was all a mistake. She had temporarily forgotten about her first husband when the second prospect proposedll' .- just at this time we were enteringithe village of South Glens Falls, when a wheel came off. After seeing that we could not fix it, we put the car in a nearby garage, and decided to wait for the Glens Falls trolley. While we were waiting, suddenly we heard a car come roaring up the Saratoga road, cutout wide open, and to our surprise, we saw our old pride, George O'Connor, at the helm. He took the corner on two wheels and disappeared in a cloud of dust. Three motorcycle cops were close on his trail, probably hailing from Saratoga and points south, prov- ing that he had come at least twenty miles, and was still holding his own. 47 3 T THE RED and BLACK 5 . At this moment an old native of the town who was standing near us, remarked gravely to himself, They'll pick that fellow up on three stretchers soon. He's missing things closer every day. just then, our trolley came along and whom should we see but Bill Gould as motorman! Probably Bill had this route, due to a habit ac- quired in his High School days. They tell us Bill and Marjorie have settled down now, as everybody expected. Bill, besides his trolley busi- ness, is a floorwalker-nearly every night in his home. You see the teething stage has arrived. When we crossed the bridge into Glens Falls, we saw the sign Finch, Pruyn and Steucke, proving that Ted had made his mark in business. As we arrived at Bank Square, a big cop about six feet tall with a droop- ing black mustache was energetically directing traffic-our old friend, Joe Silverman! As we descended from the trolley, we beheld Lobyron Allen, accom- panying Evelyn Bibby and evidently sympathizing with her. NVe did not recognize Ev, at first, as she wore such a woe-begone expression. lt seemed that a visit to Mabelle McNulty, a painless dent-ist, accounted for her sorrowful appearance. jim and I now started for a hotel when we met Jack Hitchcock, a prominent tailor, noted in '25 for the razor- blade creases in his trousers, which he was still regarding with proper pride. Farther up the street we were attracted by a dazzling shop win- dow. On reaching the store we found Pauline Richardson to be the proprietor of a modish millinery establishment. At that moment Pauline was trying to convince f'Red Rockwell, by a steady stream of talk, that an orange hat was just the thing she needed, but t'Red seemed to have her doubts. The next acquaintance we met was a demure old lady, whom we did not know at first. It was Evelyn Grundy, matron of the Old Ladies' Home! Now who would have thought it of Ev? But stranger than this was the fact that Robert Carter was a very contented and prosperous livery stable owner, who rented riding horses as a side line. At least that is what Donald Hicks told Jim. Don, by the way, is the proud possessor of five lunch carts and an obsolete Ford. On arriving at the Queensbury, the very hotel which was under construction when our class graduated, we were greatly impressed by its up-to-dateness. We went up to the desk to register, when jim after a moment's study, grabbed the hand of the hotel clerk, and gave him an enthusiastic handshake. Jim had discovered that behind the disguise of a perfectly clipped mustache and monocle, the hotel clerk was none other than our esteemed classmate, Harold Perkins! Perk greeted us THE RED and BLACK , 48 cordially, but with a decorum and niceness of speech, which while it became a hotel clerk, did not sound like the Perk we used to know. It is remarkable what environment will do to a person. As we entered the dining room for dinner that evening, the first couple to greet us was Jack Thornbury and Ruth Titus. They gave us an enthusiastic welcome and invited us to their table. We were talking about various and sundry topics, the latest plays, politics, and the weather, when Jack spoke up. By the way, he said, have you heard what Verna Giles and Doris Pattee are doing? Well, they both chose the stage as a profession and now Verna is playing in a revival of Mary the Third and Doris is doing well in the Follies. According to newspaper reports, she will soon be a star. I hope to get her here myself soon. Uack was manager of the city's leading playhouse, and was renowned for his choice selec- tion of actresses for the leading roles.j Very interesting, I said, but it does beat all how people change, doesn't it F There's one who hasn't changed much, said Ruth, nodding toward the orchestra. We looked and, sure enough, there was Ralph Doray, playing furi- ously on his violin, and leading the orchestra at the same time. Ralph looked the same as ever, very prosperous and very contented. From then on the talk drifted into politics. What chance do you think john G. has of winning in the latest election P asked jack. iOf course he was referring to John Haviland, who even in his early years had Wm. J. Bryan stopped a mile. john thus far had run for everything from traffic cop to vice-president. So far he had succeeded only in running, but was still optimistic. His latest try was for Governor of Georgia on the Republican ticket. Personally, I think his chances and zero are about on a par, remarked jim, 'ibut you never can tell, John is a remarkable man. Just then the radio, which commenced when the orchestra stopped, began- Senator Van Ess still maintaining his filibuster against the bill to amend the Constitution so as to have three Senators from each State. Senator Van Ess declares the governmentls charity list is long enough now. The Senator has been speaking for eight hours already, but is just getting warmed up to his topic. The announcer continued, The latest reports from the White House indicate that Gabrielle Tremblay's appointment as Ambassador to France will be approved. 49 THE RED and BLACK Here jack spoke up, I always said Paul would never cast any discredit on the class of '25. He's still there, when it comes to oratingf' After our dinner was over, we said goodbye to Jack and Ruth and left them to their own devices, which were probably to be of a pleasing nature, and retired to our room, as we had had a full day. The next morning I closed a big deal with a local merchant, so that we felt we might take the remainder of the day off with a clear con- science. In the afternoon as we were walking along to the High School, to give it the once over, Jim grabbed my arm and pointed across the street, and there was a sister-and it was Pete Gavan ! ! !! To say that we were amazed, dumbfounded, thunderstruck, would be superfluous. Ralph Parks with a harem, Ev Grundy as matron of the Old Ladies' Home, Mac Lance a minister-those facts should have prepared us for anything, but this was the last straw. After we entered the High School, the first one to greet us was Doris Burdett, the majestic Lady Principal. Doris was very prim and severe, but did deign to talk to us a moment. They say she is a very strong disciplinarian. It must have been some great misfortune which entered Doris' life, to reduce her to such a state. As we passed the Science room on our survey of the school, Whom should we see but Professor WVard, attempting to drive Pascal's law into the heads of his class of young hopefuls. Presently two very subdued looking boys left the room and started toward the office. Hilmon was evidently following the example of his predecessor, Mr. Hess, in the matter of ejection of pupils present in body, but absent in mind. We were passing an empty room when we heard a voice exclaim, VVell, by gosh! Look who's here. We all knew it was Hubert Vaughn, who is now head janitor at High School. We all sat down and Hubert began to tell us about the members of the class about whom we had not heard. H Well, began Hubert, that Davis person-yes, you remember, that fellow with the permanent wave-well, he married six times, if I remem- ber correctly, and then went to Spain in search of adventure. Now they say he has won great fame in the arena as a toreador, throwing the bull. fTake it both ways.j Eleanor Condit? Oh, she is one of these radical workers, always raising a commotion about something or other. Now she's advocating a bill to prevent all women over one hundred fifty pounds from bobbing their hair. How about Gordon Harris and Dave Gallagher F asked Jim. THE RED and BLACK 50 Gordon Harris has been the manager of a love-letter correspond- ence school for some time, said Hubert, and seems to have been quite successful in giving advice to the love-lorn. His only applicants that he has not been able to help thus far are those who are angling for Ed Gubitz. As yet his advice has not enabled anyone to catch Ed, but he is still hopeful of succeeding. Dave? Well, I don't know just what he is doing now, but the last I heard of him he was still trying to collect class dues. We talked with Hubert a while longer and then started to leave, but as we were passing out by the stage door, we ran into Marion St. Clair and Fran Spicer. Fran was making up Marion for her afternoon recital on the ukelele. Marion had been practicing Who's Sorry Now for a number of weeks, and was finally ready to try it on the public. We wished her luck and left. ' As we passed down Goodwin Avenue, a terrible noise came from the rear of a house in which Hubert had told us john Seaman now lived. VVe started around back to investigate, and there, sure enough, was the invincible quartet, Kenneth McKinney at the organ, Charlie Gersten playing the harp, Sherwood Nevens on the trumpet, and john Seaman on the kuzoo. They sounded like Beethoven's Dead March and Dante's Inferno combined. They stopped long enough to tell us that they were working on some new idea in music entirely their own. They believed that they were developing a new harmony, a new time, entirely free from any conservative restrictions of the old masters. It was the ex- pression of a new age. We agreed that it was wholly new, all right, and without restrictions of any kind, but it needed a lot of developing, indeed a great deal of developing, for as yet it would have come under the classification of noise, and nothing but noise. We got out of earshot as soon as possible, and walked dazedly back to the hotel. We sat up half that night talking over the remarkable encounters of the trip and recalling the happenings of our High School days. One thing is certain, I said, we won't lack material for conver- sation for some time. No, said jim, and, say, '25 has made its mark in the world, hasn't it ? And then, we both chorused together, Didn't I always say '25 was the most remarkable class that ever graduated from the Glens Falls High School? 1 ff, C T CUZ' FTF?

Y., being of sounml minfl ancl memory, tlo make, orilain, publish antl ileclare this to he our last Will ancl Testament, that I5 to say . FIRST After all our lawful rlehts, if any, are paicl and cliscliargccl, we give, rlevise anil hcqueath unto the class of 1926, that is to say, the .Iunior Class, the seats in Rooms N and O which we havc occupiecl with such great, extraorilinary, unusual ancl nohle rlistinction with the fol- lowing provisos: l. They shall reserve as many seats in thc front row for thc mem- bers of this greatest anfl most glorious class, namely, viclelicet antl to wit, the class of '25, who may deign to remain with the succeeding inferior occupants of saicl seats for the purpose of a post graduate course, as may he necessary or convenient for saicl reinaining' memhcrs, saiil mf-mhers so remaining to he the sole ancl only judges of such necessity or convenience. Z. They must attempt insofar as they are ahle, which they aren't, to emulate our goocl habits and characteristics of inclustry, thrift, genius, rlignity, athletic prowess, cliplomacy, silence, and hlulling. Sl'1'CJfXllJHfXYt- give, mlevise ancl hequcath unto the class of l926, in the saifl two rooms of N anil O respectively, the rights ancl privileges of lmotlit-ring' anml annoying' Mrs. i-Xlexamler ancl Mr. lferguson fthat means lfergieih during the tirst half hour anml such other times as they may he in the aforementionecl rooms. 55 THE RED and BLACK THIRD-We give, devise and bequeath unto the class of 1927 the memory of our following characteristics, realizing how great, remarkable and unrivaled they are, and enjoin upon them a strict adherence thereto. 1. Our intellect-this is the most remarkable in the history of our institution Cjust like the Iroquoisj as many of the teachers can testify. VVe especially call to witness Mrs. Alexander in regard to this greatest of our faculties. The said class is to attempt to imitate our marks, which are all A's Qwith VERY few exceptionsj. 2. Our good manners-in Assembly we have always been noted for our faculty of keeping quiet. This courteous habit we enjoin upon the said Sophomore class. 3. Our customary ability of appearing sophisticated and knowing all things worth knowing. FOURTH-VVe give, devise and bequeath unto the Freshmen the right to come out of the depths of hopelessness and despair and to enter into a more honorable position in our institution of high education and significance, but upon the following conditions: 1. - They shall leave all their foolishness and unsophistication behind them so far as their natural mental and moral handicaps will permit. 2. Hereafter they shall act like sane and human beings and hold their teachers in high regard. 3. They shall begin to study and keep up our former scholastic reputation. And in this our last Will and Testament we ardently desire and firmly insist that every Freshman make a solemn vow before the Faculty that these conditions shall be unto him or her a great and sacred covenant before he or she is given the privilege of entering the Sophomore class. FIFTH-VVe give, devise and bequeath to the members of the Eighth Grade, the next entrants of our beloved school, all our worldly possessions in books, pencils, pencil sharpeners, waste-baskets and seats in study, provided that: 1. They enter High School with the f1r1n determination of passing at least one out of every four exams to be taken in the future. 2. They act more dignified and learned than the last Freshman class that entered, which should not be difficult or burdensome. 3. They act like well-bred children and not like beasts in Study Hall and in class rooms. 4. They worship, adore, and honor each and every member of the Senior class as they would the Prince of Wales, the Queen of Sheba or Boob Anderson. ' ' 7?W?i'i3'3'7'f:' l- THE RED and BLACK 56 5. They remember to treat all members of the Faculty like human beings. Provided that all these conditions be upheld, all members of the Eighth Grade passing their June exams may enter the portals of our noble and famous institution of learning, with our consent, approval and blessing. SIXTH-We give, devise and bequeath our personal possessions unto the poor, ignorant underclassmen as follows: To Ruth Weaver, Nellie Barber leaves her permanent wave, which she hopes will be as useful to the said legatee as it has been to the said testatrix in her Senior year. To Peanut Gavan, Wardie leaves the old, but very good basket ball clothes of the said Wardie, which ought to make the said Gavan the star of next year's team. To Louise Allen, Lobyron Allen has been kind enough to leave the seat in Room N with the initials L, A. carved thereon. We hope Louise in this way may be aided in the rush to her room. , To Harold Ward, Abie Reed leaves his ability to get an A in every subject. To George Fish, Ben Bromley, our noble president, has left the said president's Senior report and every red E that he has so diligently acquired. To Dan Moos, john Haviland after much persuasion has agreed to leave the astounding popularity of the said Haviland in his Senior year. To Speed Mavon, Ellwood Hill very willingly leaves the drag of the said Hill with the Faculty. To Dave Hall, Mac Lance leaves all the music of the said Lance which the said Lance has so carefully acquired. To Edmund Smith, John Mack leaves the athletic ability of the said Mack. Likewise, we make, constitute and appoint the Shah of Persia, Duke Murray, Miss Love, and Cleopatra to be executors and executrices of this our last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former Wills by us made. In Witness Whereof, we have hereunto subscribed our name and affixed our seal, the 23d day of June, in the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty-five. CLASS OF 1925 QL. s.j A By Joseph T.

Mr. Van liss, however, has thus far refused to commit himself. There is a general demand for the Senior Class to present another play. We suggest having 'AlVlary the Third, featuring Verna Giles. The Bud ding romance of Frances Spicer still continues as a head line in Local Gossip. Eleanor Condit wishes to deny that she even considered entering that horrible picture, The Painted Ladyf' Some people are sure Charles McKernon is in love. Others say he is merely Walking in his sleep. Abie Reed flatly denies that he is thinking of running for the presi- dency of Ireland. It has been hinted by the Senior Play Cast that John Haviland write an essay on How to Become a Lover. NVith the aid of his experience in An Ideal Husband there is no doubt that it will be a Rest Seller. Dan Moos suggests that knocking out flies is best accomplished by using a Hy swatter. Gyping is merely an intellectual means of avoiding a difficulty. Joe College asks why Stude and Stewed sound so nearly alike.
