Glenville High School Annual Nineteen Hundred and Eight Che Annual 2$oarb Dedicates tiii-6 booh gladlp to tbcir teacher and friend, fHi ©abieg Tht o. 5. Huhhtll Printing Co. CltvelanJ. Exordium We have tried to make this annual a reproduction of High School life. We hope that, for those who have High School life before them, this book may be a suggestion of what they are coming to: that, for those who will never enter the High School, this book may impart a share in those activities which they have missed; and that, for ourselves, it may be a reminder of the fine days we have spent in this school. Our sinccrest thanks are extended to all those who have aided us with this production—either by their contributions, their typewriting, or their enthusiasm. The editors wish seriously to warn you against going further into these pages without first arming yourselves with a bright and shiny smile of large dimensions. If you cannot achieve a smile, a pleased expression at least, should be put on as armour against disappointment. For your inspection we humbly present this chronicle. The Editors.

Akers.—A chemical salt formed by the union of the two elements, aches and ears. When these two elements are placed in a tube and heated, the compound “Akers” is the result. This compound is insoluble in all legends except in arnica. This, when added, breaks “Akers” up, forming as a result annicaches and setting fre.e ears. The compound “Akers is heavy and when placed in a school-room will sputter and gurgle freely. This sputtering process may be partially stopped by acid words. B. Bach.—A biped of the species slurandslamcastera. This animal is the only one of its kind now in existence. It is indeed a strange specimen. It somewhat resembles a barrcT in general shape, its length being 4 feet and its width 2 feet 5 inches. The creature may be distinguished at sight by its heavy tread and its loud and reverberating bray. The usual feeding place of this animal is Truesdalc lick. Baisch.—A species of antelope of the order bcanpolicus. This animal is one of the most noted and best known of the sprawlcr family. Its body is long and lank. The hind legs are long and fashioned for jumping but when in repose the beast draws them up and folds them beneath his chin. Beals.—A musical instrument. This instrument is a new one at present only in use at G. H. S. It is long and slender and is played by pushing the thumb into the center of the back. A shrill squeak is the result of such manipulation. The contrivance would, without doubt, be a great addition to any orchestra. Beckman.—A species of clam. This creature keeps out of sight usually, and only occasionally opens its shell. It will kick when punched. Blum.—A new little snake of the order Shychapidas. The reptile changed his skin at the time of the animal hop but alas! the new rented skin didn’t fit. It wrinkled in such strange waves along the back that poor snakey somewhat-resembled a camel. C.

HAZEL (Chairman) MR. ELDREDGE MARIE RUTLEDGE HARLEY CLARKE CLIFFORD LUTHER page fifty-two Foot Ball Season UNDER the coaching of Mr. Mahoney. Glenville turned out a fairly successful football team. In spite of the fact that only four of the last year's team were hack to school this year, the team, with hard practice and good coaching, won half of its games and scored just as many points as their heavier and more experienced opponents. As a result of most of the players being inexperienced, our team took longer to round into form than the other teams, and. as the hardest games in the schedule came first, these teams were able to defeat us then, while, if they had come later in the schedule we wv uld have stood a better chance against them. The scrubs worked hard and faithfully and it is to them that we owe a good deal of the credit for having a successful team. The varsity were presented sweaters for the first time in the history the school.

These games were attended by large and enthusiastic crowds of rooters of both sexes who found the games very exciting. Schedule Glenville 56 Alumni .

His efforts were seconded by those of Captain Luther. The enthusiasm of the fellows greatly exceeded that in former years and this probably did more toward bringing out material than anything else. The following have taken an active interest in track practice: Horton Maine Kirk Raish Keim Koch Slater Peterson Hess Luther (Capt.) Tyla Miller Martin Watkins Simmermachcr Muggleton Osborne page sixty-one The Beta Sigma Society (From a Wrangler's point of view.) A short time ago there was organized, by the girls, a society which they named the “Beta Sigma.” The chief purpose of the society seems to be that of discussing the latest style in hats or dresses, or something else equally trivial. Indeed, from the chattering that issues from the library whenever there is a meeting, we presume that about all that is accomplished is the discussion of the above mentioned subjects. Once, however, the “Beta Sigma” did surprise everybody by their talent when they gave a program at rhetoricals. This performance, however, does not seem so great when it is recollected that, on at least three occasions, the “Wranglers” have given open meetings which were tremendous successes. The auditorium was nearly crowded with people who came of their own accord, while the audience of the “Beta Sigma” came by necessity—it being rhetorical day. Moving aside this superiority, however, we must come to the conclusion that the “Wrangler” society as a whole is infinitely better than the “Beta Sigma.” Our members are very manly in their bearing, while those of the “Beta Sigma” are very effeminate. We aim to make speakers who can talk extemporaneously for several minutes on any assigned subject—but,, alas, the members of the “Beta Sigma” not only talk extemporaneously, but talk on all subjects at the same time and never get through Sic femina est. Of course the “Beta Sigma” cxcells us in several respects—the one above being the most notable. They have also had several little afternoon receptions while the manly, sedate and learned “Wranglers” have scarcely had any. But, if our treasurer does not abscond with all the money, we intend to have a small reception ourselves some night, or perhaps early some morning and thus overcome this one advantage the “Beta Sigma” has over us. Therefore, in conclusion, I would like to say that, since we have all the attractions of the “Beta Sigma” and are going to add several more, I would most urgently advise any person of sound mind and body, wishing to improve himself and better his condition, to join the “Wranglers” in preference to the “Beta Sigma”. p gc lixty-rine Beta Sigma Officers FIRST TERM.

D., another great movement started, which by its mighty power and sway seemed to shake the edifice to its very foundation. It started in a very systematic way. Some one said. Let's make up a boy’s club”, some one else said, Alright, let’s.” By degrees, in fits and starts, all the senior boys knew the secret, and then in a couple more months some of the junior boys were scared into a promise to join the society. So on January 4. 1906, a meeting was called and a constitution drawn up. But the constitution said a meeting could not be called without a quorum, a quorum of twelve, but they had succeeded in getting only eleven members, so business was postponed until some poor unsuspecting sophs could be collared.” So in the course of events the honor roll numbered eighteen, seven of which held offices. President. Vice-President, and all the other paraphernalia even down to the Sargeant-at-Arms. Jn the choosing of this last officer very good judgment was shown for the boy was about seven feet in height with feet extra large considering his diminutive stature, very well adapted to flit around the room to bring the dreamers back to earth. It was well understood by all concerned that the chief requirement was conceit, the less sand one had the easier one could obtain a membership, while the best knocker was looked up to as if he were a god. These things :oakcd in so well that at the present time they bring forth fruit in patience. The society grew as all things arc bound to when placed on a solid foundation. But some nondescript student, being weary of the regular daily routine, and willing to break the dull monotony, suggested that the society give a dance in the attic. Elaborate preparations were made for this affair and after much consultation the day was set. A proclamation was made throughout the generally quiet abode of the various classes, and met with the highest approval, an 1 cries of delight could be heard wafting out of the Green-Goods” department. The great day arrived, a base-ball game was scheduled for the same day. The Gym was almost crowded, the feminine sex being very much in evidence, and most of the company enjoyed themselves by sitting around on the easy chairs page se'bcniy-fou, and couches. The elaborate refreshments were greatly enjoyed by all concerned, they could be obtained any place in the building where there was a connection with Lake Erie. The company departed at a late hour, and everybody decided that the Wranglers were all right. The affair was so successful that another va never tried. The next thing which this great society undertook was a debate, which they heroically lost. But as they were of a strong constitution this did not phase them, and many more were entered into with the same result. In conclusion, I will say, that the club has helped a great deal to break the dull monotony of the school and raise the dignity of the pupils. page seventy-five WRANGLERS Officers for the First Term EDWIN GOODAIRE ...

The Girls' Glee Club is still a mere seminal principle,” but we expect great things of this institution in years to come. The girls have appeared once at rhetoricals and have had one or two little sing-Tests among themselves. They have not tried to make these very grand affairs, hut they have been very pleasant ami laid a good foundation for greater undertakings in other years. Especial credit is due the girls who have taken an active interest in the club this year, for there is as yet more effort than personal glory connected with it.

H. S. orchestra has already won for itself an important place in the life of the school. Though no such an organization as we hope to have in future years, yet it is an institution of which no school need be ashamed. Much credit is due Mr. Crabbe, for he it is who. from the first, has taken an active interest in this branch of the school life, and whose constant efforts have done much toward making the orchestra what it is today. The members of this organization have practiced faithfully, and have been able to afford much enjoyment at rhetoricals. where their music has formed an important part in many of the programs. At concerts, too, they have done us great credit. Founded 1904. Members Director Viouns Mr. J. E.

The program rendered was excellent and much enjoyed and appreciated by the large audience in attendance. On Friday night, the twenty-fourth of April, the Glee. Mandolin and Banjo Clubs of the Western Reserve University assisted by the Glenville High School Orchestra gave a concert under the auspices of the High School. In addition to the splendid musical program, two of the college boys, the Ilyrc Brothers, gave, in costume, the scene from Julius Caesar, on the plains of Phillipi. This was one of the most successful events of the school year and was highly appreciated by all whose privilege it was to attend. THE CRICKET ON THE HEARTH.

L. L. ’o8. THOUGH a small and perhaps not very well known village, Glenville has within its boundaries to-day, the finest and most talented WOMAN’S GLEE CLUB in the country. This remarkable glee club is without exception the largest and most original organization of its sort in existence. Fifty members compose the club each one of whom can make more noise in her own way than three ordinary people. The effect is indeed striking and romantic. Fifty melodious voices, each attuned to a different key, all arise in one vast mass of harmony (?). So far the club has only made one appearance but that one appearance will long be remembered and will be written down in the annals of history. On Jan. 24, 190S the initial performance was given in G. H. S. auditorium. The vast audience there assembled sat enthralled, enraptured, held spellbound by the soulstirring melodies. The first number on the program was the awe-inspiring selection, “the Owl and the Pussy Cal,” by George Ingraham. This was received with such loud and extended applause that the glee club came forward again to the footlights and gave as an encore Handel’s Largo. This was rendered with the greatest feeling and pathos and judging from the appreciation of the audience, the future success of the club seemed assured. The members are now practicing for an extended tour which will include, after the principal cities of the United States, the larger musical centers of the old world where they are engaged to appear at no distant date before the crowned heads of Europe. So popular has the organization become that, in order to obtain seats for a performance, one must engage them several weeks beforehand. Tickets may be procured by applying to Mr-.. Truesdalc who has this matter in charge. She may be found Tuesdays and Thursdays between the hours of eleven and eleven-thirty in the basement of the Glenville High School building where she serves doughnuts, pies and pickles. WHY IS A FLAT? By D. B. ’09. There is always a better side to every question. A freshman has many innate qualities which are brought out in the high school mill, under four long years of p ge one hundred And fourteen faculty grind. lie is like the crude marble, rough, dirty, ragged, which tinder the skilled hand of the cutter soon comes forth as beautiful, shining, master-piece. So with a Freshman. In four years he is turned from a small, simple minded child into a full fledged man of the world, that polished knowledgian, the Senior. A flat looks, with his insignificant atom of a mind, at a sedate Senior with an awful awe on account of the stupendous and infinite store of knowledge which said Senior has acquired and which he deals out plentifully wherec'r he goes, especially in the presence of a poor, trembling, flat. This same flat regards a junior with wide-eyed wonder because in his mouth is a dollar and thirty-seven cent pipe (so the junior says) and he is sportily dressed in the height of a fashion with all the nobby nic-nacs from “Wa-a-a-gama-ans. Next a Sophomore comes wandering by and the flat’s gaze turns from the Junior to the Soph and his look turns to admiration. At every step the muscles ripple over the Soph's body and his long ape-like arms are thrust far down into his pockets. Under them are no books, “for,” thinks the freshman with another shade of admiration, “he never takes liooks home, he's a soph.” As the poor insignificant, unnoticeable flat, swells himself with pride to think of the honor he has in being allowed to even look upon the three most perfect creatures of God’s handiwork, his gaze is once more interrupted but this time by the figure of one of the faculty and he slinks back to Latin I in Room 7. j j Flee, Muses! you’ve “nothing to do with the case,” You’d best sue for blindness, or else hide some place While Vulcan and I stay, and (Pardon me. ladies!) —To put the thing mildly—combine to raise Hades. Nor Vulcan nor I have such very great art. But, la! what do we care? We both have the heart. For otic of us—guess which!—was always a slammer, While t’other has furnished his time-honored hammer. Our purpose in forming this syndicate dread Is to manage to hit several tacks on the head Which have seemed quite elusive, though e’en as I speak I am quite within reach of the victims I seek. Gare Lewis walks up with her masterful stride And “tackles” things o’er which we’ve labored and sighed. She tackles, and lo! what results she docs send us! Oh, foot-ball boys, you’ve missed a tackle tremendous! No time does she waste upon “frow-frows” and “frillies,” page one hundred And fifteen She seldom, if ever, is seized with the •‘sillies.” Rut seems conscientious almost to a fault; though She has a nice laugh—a rich, mellow, contralto, And all must admit when it comes to real s| ort, That vigorous Care is a mighty good sort. Next, Brown saunters forward and swaggers about. His head is decorative inside anti nut. I doubt if the high school holds one single mut Not ambitious to imitate Brown's English strut, And I'm sure all the neighborhood roosters but one Have admitted themselves to be sadly outdone. Keep it up. keep it up. Brown! and some day. by pox! You'll perhaps outdo something e’en greater than cocks! There comes Roglin. quite timid, for Vulcan looks gruff And she's without power or ambition to bluff. She smiles, for she scarcely can be ought but happy. Yet somehow she lacks somethings clean-cut and snappy; There's more in her nature beyond the least doubt Than her diffident manner will ever let out. Old Dutnall swings forward and passes her by. There’s naught about Dutnall that one could call shy, There are no hidden virtues a-hauging around Which one feels instinctively ought to be found. Each one of her many advantages shows And few of us know what a great way this goes. I'll bet a hat she will have reached the last base Before some of us have begun the ’“great race.” Then next there come sleepily Martin and Slater. Which one of the two do you think was up later Thau eight-thirty last night? What! both these young boys? Well yes, I admit they seem lacking in “poise. Perhaps they consider that it is their mission To carefully follow the teachings of Titian, For they toil conscientiously each night, 'tis said, In their effort at painting this little town red. And. speaking of red; say, just what do you know About Edwin’s red shoes—aren’t they elegant though? The first day he wore them he put on such airs! And up in the and. got some envious stares. He sat in the front row, his feet on the platform And. though all the kids said they wouldn't give that for ’em, Seo pagx thirty-seven and take note of the pout page one hundred And sixteen Their looks said as plain as the clarion of Chaunticleer “By all that is nifty and swagger, I want a pair! ’ May Bach next! dear friends, here is pain for us both, For to spoil an ideal I'm exceedingly loath. I tell it with sadness, but murder will out. You must be disillusioned some time beyond doubt. So I tell you what none of you’ve guessed at before MAY BACH IS A KNOCKER!—the ordeal is o’er. Comes Alport along with his thoughts in the sky And his chin and his nose very nearly as high. He’s a faddist, at one time the man’s simply ravin’ O'er Poe. Then as quickly (’tis near past “belavin”) He’ll shift and l e crazy about some great artist Musician, or statesman or some noted “hcarlist.” He’s not much like one of these great men and small But I vow that he seems quite a little like “All”— 1 tried to get Vulcan to slamming the slammer But he was afraid he would break his fine hammer. So, wishing you all every known kind of luck, we Would sign ourselves yours ever, Vulcan and Muck-ley. The dragging moments of the endless fifth period arc being monotonously ticked off by the solemn old clock on the rear wall. Out of doors a listless, sleepy calm has settled over all. Even the occasional trill of the grasshopper comes but faintly through the open window. The immortal Caesar (on the oaken shelf behind us) is meditating sleepily upon his last commentary. See how pale he looks. Poor soul, it must be a terrible bore to have to listen so long to the imperious voice of the teacher as she translates his mother tongue for the erring scholars. To be sure, during the sixth period of the first Tuesday of every third month, there is a brief respite, owing to the lengthy moral observations (degressi cxcausa) of the imperative pedagogue. Poor man, he also is a philosopher. How pleasant and cool the halls seem, in the shade of which skulk cautious freshmen, gliding past open doors like the ghost of the elder Hamlet. Caesar, however, the man who could write seven Latin letters at once (so the teacher says) sees the idle truants and frowns severely. Down in front some one is declining the noun soninus” while the teacher dozes serenely over mistakes and Caesar writhes in anguish (cruciatus tacitus). I fear that ere long I will begin to lose possession of my faculties and drift off into a quiet slumber. But hark! what terrible alarm is that, bursting page one hundred and seventeen tearfully upon the scholarly stillness with its unearthly din? Fear not, 'tis but the bell, the fifth period is at last over. And look, yonder comes the editor to gather up this infernal bit of prosing. I can no more. u J BASE BALL By E. W. G. With only four of last years' championship team in school the outlook for a winning team is not quite as bright as heretofore. The team has been hampered so far by not being able to find a good field to practice on but from the showing made by so many of the new men in the practice games it looks as if Captain Baisch will be able to whip together a team that will hold up the prestige gained by the former championship teams of (ilenville. It is, nevertheless, too early in the season to be able to give a correct forecast of the success of the team. By M. B. A long, long time ago, one bright, autumn day, the routine of school life was relieved by a very startling announcement. Instead of going directly to our various grind-rooms,'' we were held in suspense for five minutes, during which interval we were told to save the pennies our mammas and papas gave us, for on the morrow we were to have a great addition to our “workhouse,” a lunch counter. Now, you should have heard the exclamations of delight which came from the poor little flat-heads when they found they could have luncheon at eleven o’clock instead of waiting until twelve-thirty. The whole school was in quite an uproar all day. The great morning dawned, as all mornings do. and the pupils could be seen hurrying along the various roads which lead to the school, all wearing the smile that won’t come off. One could pick out the flat-heads, for they generally carried three pennies in their hands lest they should slip through some unseen hole, if entrusted to their pockets. Many trips were made to the lower regions before the designated time but everything was kept under cover until eleven o'clock, then everyone had a grand surprise-party—there on the counter in the basement was cocoa, sandwiches, ginger-bread and sinkers. The most touching thing was to see the poor foot-ball fellows go resolutely past the lemon-pie. They were in training, but these poor heroes had the consolation of seeing the weeps in the eyes of the feminine sex. From eleven to eleven-fifteen, the upper halls were deserted, and even when the bell rang it was hard work to tear the little “greenies” from their luncheon. The upper classmen came up very reluctantly, most of the boys just finishing a pie crust, not foot ball boys, of course. page one hundred and eighteen The lunch-counter has thrived and grown quite strong and the novelty lies not even yet been lost. The babies buy their milk, the boys their pies, and the lovc-sick lassies, their pickles, and no doubt this will continue until the end of time, for our whole school seems to appreciate that. •‘He may live without books—what is knowledge but grieving? He may live without love—what is passion but pining? He may live without hope—what is hope but deceiving? But where is the man that can live without dining?” w J THE LAST DAY By L. M. R.

Ande did sprinkle their hair with ashes and withe sande, For there was no one to oversee ye cookinge of ye meals. And it was so. Ande Lo! when Garethe saw ye distress of ye whole courte He spake unto ye great Kinge Arthur, sayinge: O mighty kinge, ye ruler of this realm. When I did live atte home in Orkeney. My mother Bellicente, ye queen of Orkeney Did teachc me howc to cooke. Ande after two years practice I came to be ye greatest cooke in allc our lande. Ande it came to passe thatte ye greate kinge, Arthur, page one hundred and thirty-six Did fall upon yc ncckc of Garethe andc did weep for joye Ande did spcake unto ye brave larcthe, sayinge: Thou earnest juste in tyme; we need thee greatly, To attend unto yc cookinge for ye courtc. Ande if thou dost this which I beg of thee. Thou canst commandc me in whate'er thou will. Thus Garethc came to be yc steward of ye courtc. Ande alle ye knightes of yc Rounde Table did rejoice, Ande feast for a space of seven days. And it was even so. Now it fell out thatte one dave Merlin, ye Magician, Came into ye kitchen of Garethc, For he was hungry ande there was a craving in his stomache, Ande Garethe did give him a tastely dish Which Merlin ate withe much satisfaction, Ande Merlin also patted himself upon yc stomache.

Ande it came to pass thatte Lynette, Ye sister of yc Countess of Rente. Begged Kinge Arthur to sende ye far-famed Garethe To ye Castle of Rente. Ande it was so. Nowe ye greate kinge Arthur was sorely tempted To grant this request, For he saw thatte ye mayde was beautiful. But he wished to kcepe Garethe as ye cooke of ye courte. So he did consult withe ye wise Merlin, page one hundred and thirty-seven Ande did hold communion withe him. But though they did ponder and meditate They knew nottc whatte to do. Ande itte was so. Ande Lo! Garcthe did hear of ye request of ye mayde, So he wente into ye courtyard where she stood, Ande did observe that she was beautiful. Ande then he spoke unto ye greate kingc Arthur, sayinge: “Oh gracious Kingc, it is ye custom of alle ye cookes To have a weekes vacation every montlie, Ande as my weekes vacation I wille staye atte ye Castle of Kente Ande cooke for Lynette ande her sister.” Ande when Kinge Arthur sayde thatte he might go, Merlin, ye magician spake ande sayde: ■'Garcthe, son of Lotte ande Bellicente, A monthe ago I promised unto thee Thatte I would grante thee whateer thou mightest wishe Ande as I know thou wishest to arrive atte ye Castle As soon as possible, I wille conjure up for thee A vehycle whiche wille take thee very soon.” Ande it was even as he sayde. Ande when ye knights of ye Rounde Table Did hear ye words of Merlin They gathered round aboutc him To see whatte he would do. Ande they prodded each other with theyr lances To obtain a better view. Ande when he saw thatte alle were lookinge, Merlin waved thrice in ye air his magic wandc Ande suddenly there appeared as if from ye grounde, A wondrous carriage, redde in colour. Which did make a buzzing sounde, Ande upon which were inscribed ye words, Redde Devyl.” Ande it was so. Ande alle ye knights did marvel greatly, Being much amazed atte ye magic of Merlin. Then Merlin spake unto Garcthe ande Lynette, sayinge: “Get ye into this carriage.” ande Garethe ande Lynette Did as Merlin bade them. page one hundred and thirty-eight Ancle Garethe then shoved back an iron rodde VVhichc looked like unto a speare stuck in ye bottom of ye carriage.

Ande itte came to pass thattc ye Rcdde Devyl Did go very fast; Ancle Garethe did turn on all yc power Which was in ye Reddc Devyl, Ande itte did go stille faster Making muche noyse. Ande itte came to pass thatte, When they haddc ridden for a space of tyme, Both Garethe and Lynette did observe, In ye road whiche lay before ye Redde Devyl, Sir Kaye, ye former cooke of Kinge Arthur. Ande itte fell out thattc Lynette spake thus unto Garethe, Thou art no true cooke if thou dost notte Ride over Sir Kaye ande overcome him. Ande Garethe said naught butte he drove Over Sir Kaye ande hurled him into ye air; Ande Sir Kaye did land again upon the road Withe a grunt, for he was very fatte, Ande he also muttered many words Whiche are notte in ye Dyctionary. Ande Garethe did calle back unto him. sayinge. Thatte he myghl again become ye cooke of Arthur, Ancle itte was so. Ande Behold! When they hadde ridden for a space, There came toward ye Redde Devyl A farmer withe ye pigge. Ande Lynette did say unto Garethe: Ye be no true cooke an ye ride notte Over ye farmer ancle ye pigge.” Ande Garethe drove against ye farmer ande ye pigge Ande threw them bothe into ye air, ande they landed Many ells away from where they were Ande both ye farmer ande ye pigge were glade page one hundred and thirty nine For they were bothc tired, Ye pigge on account of his fattnesse. Ande ye farmer because of his lazinesse. Andc itte was so. Nowe itte fell out thatte when they haddc Ridden for another space of tyme Bothe Garethe and Lynette Did perceive in ye roade before them A Knightc of ye Roade named Wearius Williamus. Ande Lynette did againe saye unto Garethe: “Thou art no true cooke An thou ridest notte over this knight.” Ande Garethe said naught Butte rodde against ye knight.

It will not be brought nearer as we do not wish to get chalk-dust in the machinery. We arc now passing up Englewood Street. The lordly structure to our left is the Manual Training Building famous for its turning lathe. Careful instructions given in turning heads, corners, and somersaults. Across the avenue to our right we observe a level plain. This is the practice ground of the heavenly nine, also the heavenly eleven. We will now turn toward the building proper. Those discerning enough to see any grass please keep off of it! Kindly handle that door with consideration. It is not responsible for its actions. I-et us first visit room three, so page one hundred and forly-tu o called because of its adherence to the three dramatic unities: time, place, and action. At a certain time—eight A. M., the people in this room are in the habit of being in place, and of refraining (for the time being) from any action that does not occur in real life. We now turn our attention to nouncements of games and meetings— the pupils have kindly left some space for the instructor to use. Whist Sir! be calm. That buzzing is neither of a bee nor a hornet—it is the bell for passing of classes.

Let us pass out again into the hall. Sh! Do not disturb the faculty! Glenville High, like the man in what’s-it’s-name, is infinite in faculty. I f you are easily over-wrought. Madam, you not lot us interrupt you; go right on giving your lesson—To resume, this black-board though scarcely a thing of beauty, is nevertheless, a joy forever. You will notice that the blackboard is not wholly occupied with an- would better wait outside while we visit the office. The excitement may be too great for you. Very well then, if you insist. But you go in at your own risk. We enter. That clicking sound is the typewriter, operated by page one hundred and forty-three much human energy. The dejected-looking mortal on the couch is George Kittinger. He gets sent to the office regularly every period. Observe the effort he is making to look cheerful and calm. As you see, he does not quite succeed. The only person in this building who can quite achieve that much desired air of unconcern and nonchalance is Virginia Griffin. By some untoward and inexplicable circumstance, she is not in the office at present. Auditorium, the Gym, and the teachers' room all of which go to make up this magnificent building. Let us pass on. Again we find ourselves in the hall. No. Dear Madam, those arc neither cuspidors nor umbrella stands. They are receptacles for chewing gum. banana peelings, and rejected algebra papers. This one has even served as a harbour for a Senior's storm-tossed Rules of Punctuation.” Note its battered appearance. Much might be said of this room if there were but time. Those papers which arc strewn about in the immediate vicinity of the desk to our left were not distributed by idle winds. The fateful reports which repose in the desk to our right ought not to Ik passed without a word. But we have yet to gaze upon the Library, the No, again, Madam, this is not a store-room for broken toys—it is the Library. To be sure that—cr—Eth-opian Venus has seen better days. It was in a period of History almost pre-Glenvillian that some kind person, in mercy to the public no less than the lady herself, did the phaeton act and concealed in everlasting darkness the page one hundred and forty-four blemishes of time which even then marred the fair countenance of the Goddess. For more than three thousand years (according to some authorities)—indeed, since long before the last great wave of immigration has this noble visage hung upon the selfsame hook—never since disturbed— not even to be dusted, ready and waiting to act as an object for worship, admiration, study, criticism, cynicism, or even spit balls. On the west wall, for the benefit of the public in general and the History class in particular, there arc hung numerous pictures— portraits of the well-embalmed Raineses, Thothmes and others, to say nothing of reproductions of the Coliseum and Parthenon—frieze, pediment, impediment, and all the rest. The chief advantage of these book cases is that they arc movable and may be turned with their faces to the wall in case of an emergency dance, or the like. But come, these surroundings, however much might be said of them, are at least not cheering. One moment in the next room to have a glance at the silent menagerie. Mr. Hazel says that the stuffed condition of these birds is not intended to symbolize the way the seniors are crammed with knowledge. O, very well. Now to the second story. The custodians of the building are very particular that you go up the proper stairs. Here on the landing is the scene of quite a tragedy. Stuart Clemmer, wishing to scare a flat, put chalk on his fingers and made a noise like a teacher. The effects arc said to have been disastrous. I cannot say much about it. The rooms marked 7, 8, 9, and 10 are nursery rooms. As it is nap hour we will not enter lest we disturb the little ones (bless their hearts.) Besides little Marie Rutledge is rather timid of strangers. That hissing sound which is emitted from the room opposite—the German room—is neither the hiss of a snake nor the rushing of water. Francis Baisch is trying to recite German and May Bach is prompting him. ■ As you poetically suggest, Madam, the sounds which come from the teachers’ room remind one of the shrieks of the Trojan women from the “inner apartments.’ . Chaucer’s “seven liennes” would have given up in dispair if they had known that any crowd could squawk so much better than they, and Priam’s daughters would have gone clear out of the business. After their ten-minute feasting period they return to the respective duties fiendishly leaving crumbs upon page one hundred and foily-five the table to tantalize the fifth hour German class. The Auditorium! Formerly a nest of restless whisperers, the auditorium has now been converted into a quiet, peaceful, study-room. With the instinct of true descendants of Aeneas, the faculty have weeded out the feeble or infirm members of the class and left only those physically able to study properly. No, Sir. the picture hanging in the middle of the stage wall is not a sketch of the faculty in costume—though the characters here portrayed—the vestal virgins—are scarcely more exalted. We will go up stairs to the gym as we do not desire to longer disturb the quiet of this study room. My dear sir. please do not kick up the brass bands on the steps, or they will become even less oramcntal. The Gymnasium! Here we send the ‘‘physically infirm” especially those “physically” unable to study Greek. These classes employ leather, rather than paper horses. Will the small brown gentleman kindly stop monkeying with the apparatus? Come! come! my dear people! all of you! This machinery is not to be touched; that is not what it was put there for. Madame, get off the swing! Sir, come away from that horizontal bar! I see I will have to hurry you away or you will do permanent damage. What is there about this building that it should in some way inspire people with a desire to do damage? Gome away! Come away! I had wished to show you the basement with its lockers which are very fine though scarcely calculated to hold merry widow hats, the heater and—(no, no, friends, I am not over-excited)—and the coal-bin. Our coal is, like Tyla, “fat and smokeless”. But you are becoming unmanageable. I cannot show it to you! Alas! Alas! Come away! Come away! Heavens! You go down stairs like an avalanche or two, what will they think of us? Come away! Come away! page one hundred and forl} -six AFTER Prof. Haze! had planned for a long time to visit Glenvillc High, of which school he had been an ex-professor for eight or ten years, and see how that institution was developing. The first of June was set for the beginning of the trip and that morning was ushered in with cool spring breezes and the sweet smell of verdant shrubbery. After he came home from his trip he set himself to the task of making a record of his interesting journey and this was what was taken from the poor old man’s memoirs: “It was nearly ten in the evening when I arrived at the Glenvillc Station and signed up on the register of the Slater Hotel. I went to bed early in expectation of the pleasures of the morrow. The morning was bright and cheerful like its predecessors and I could hardly wait till a Park wood car put me off in front of the school. But a surprise awaited me, for the first thing that met my gaze was not the cool shady lawn I expected, but a high dreary wall with iron spikes and barbwire on the top. My feelings would have been hard to describe as I advanced toward die steel clad massive gates, but I rang the visitors’ bell and the huge iron structure soon swung open and 1 was admitted into a cage, the door slammed behind me. At first I was startled but my attention was immediately called to the young men who were trundeling my prison up the walk, for on their caps was inscribed “it” and their faces wore ghastly grins, but the guard in the cage with me informed me that I should not be afraid as they were entirely harmless. My eye was next attracted by the ponderous sign which hung over the barred doors, ‘The Glenville Institution for the Mentally Affected.’ I was much startled at this and asked the guard if this wasn’t Glenvillc High. He looked at me in surprise but answered civily that twelve years before it had been, but that on account of so many of its pupils becoming insane, they had turned it into an asylum. I was very much startled at this but decided to make the best of it. So, as the cage was being trundled up the inclined steps. I nerved myself for the worst. Hardly had the huge doors swung to when I was accosted by a shrill treble, and a huge ungainly youth with immensely long arms poked a handful of cards through the bars shrieking at the top of his maniacal voice, ‘Buy a ticket! Buy a ticket! ten cents or a dime!’ He was sharply rebuked by the guard just as I recognized Robert Koch. My looks were soon turned in other directions and I perceived a tall gaunt figure with long hair, delivering an address to several open-mouthed individuals. He was saying, ‘I tell you and insist on telling you that I will one day arouse the world by my acting. I have performed with tumultuous applause before the crowned heads of Europe. I have made the impassive Hollander shed tears and page one hundred and forty-seven our own country-men and-wonien cower in terror at my acting of Othello-----------’ but our cage passed around a corner and the guard informed me that poor Horton had delivered that same address every day for nearly ten years. We stopped for a while in a pleasant sunlit corridor and the guard said, ‘I am sorry that you are so affected, but brace up and we will go on. but sh—sh—. and there approaching stealthily from chair to chair in a crouching position was Warner, a slouch hat pulled far down over his eyes, in one hand was on old auto horn which wheezed occasionally and his other arm was bared to the elbow, his look was furtive and shifting, his manner that of one who is looking for something or somebody. After he had passed on by means of an open window, the guard told me that he always kept his sleeve rolled up for he was looking for Cicero. But who is this I see coming toward me? She is a middle aged woman dressed in tightly fitting black clothes and with a slow step and very devout look. ‘And who is she?’ I inquired of the guard. ‘That,’ he answered, ‘is Eleanor Dietz; she imagines she is a preacher’s wife, and she goes around looking religious the whole day long, but our records show that she was not so in her youth. This with a sly wink at me. On passing different points I continually noticed large posters and draw ings of everything conceivable, and I also noticed the queer discordant tones of a piano, much out of tune. We were now drawing near to the room from which the music, if such it could be called, came. I was informed that it was Allport doing his three hours practice. I admired the fellow’s spunk. In passing more of the drawings later on I noticed one of our dear superintendent reclining on the grass, his hat beside him, and a crowd of boys standing sheepishly around, in the centre of the group were Tyla and Coburn, hardly recognizable on account of their features, but nevertheless I remembered the fight and knew it was they. Various other signs were scattered about, ‘Bean soup today,’ ‘Track practice at two P. M.,' ‘The unexpected has happened,’ ‘Bring note books fo class,’ etc. We now ascended to the second floor and, while we were going up. the guard told me two interesting bits of news. ‘Of course you have heard of Slater joining the Clergy? No? Why, several years ago we dismissed him from here cured, and he immediately entered a Catholic Seminary, and is now a full-fledged priest of the first order.’ We stepped out of the elevator, and started to interview the faculty who were wandering about the halls, but my nerves failed me as we passed the room in which the annual board was holding a meeting. Such maniacal yells proceeded from within that I turned and fled headlong to the stairs and was soon in the open air, thanking my stars that I had escaped from such an infernal institution. page one hundred and forty-eight The Hunting of the Deer By Brown, ’09. Too late, the clogs are at her throat. Quietly she lies about to die. The hounds are wild. Her mien is mild, Her eyes turned toward the sky. Scarcely an hour it was before And peaceful was her home, When from far o’er blue-haze hills, Rang the call of the hunting horn. She hovered wild eyed o’er her faun, And then sprang forth to meet The brutal men and thoughtless dogs That frayed of her defeat. Away she flew o'er rock and stream. And never halted once to draw A breath nor rest a limb, Until the hounds were close to her, And she was far from home. Then she turned and struck due north With the pack in hot pursuit. Bounding o’er the sodden log. Stemming each swift stream, Thinking of the little one in her hapless mountain home. But faster and faster she flew. O’er meadows and ploughed field, Till she knew that she was hours from home And the life she tried to shield. Fence after fence she took, The peasants staring after The dogs were coming fast behind, But her breath was coming faster. Her bounds are growing shorter now, Her flanks arc decked with foam. Her eyes are big and blood-shot. Her thoughts are back at home. And thus she gave her precious life For a few hours sport for men. They call it sport, but in the golden book ’Tis written plainly “murder.” page one hundred and forty-nine The Country L. W. S.t ’09. Oh I wish I were out in the country; For there with no worry and care, I could roam about to my hearts content As free as the old Squire's mare. Chorus—Then I know I’d be happy As happy as the bird and the bee. For there's no place like the country, And that’s the place for me. Oh I wish I were out in the country; For there at the brook and the pool, I’d take turns at swimming and fishing, And play I was skipping school. Chorus- Oh I wish T were out in the country; For there with a straw hat and hoe I’d pretend for once I’s a farmer, And help the potatoes to grow. Chorus— Oh T wish I were out in the country; For there in the nutting time, I’d hitch up old Bill to the wagon And gather all the nuts I could find. Chorus— page one hundred and fifty Billy’s Flight By Elmer Monks. “Hello, Billy, where arc you going, if I may ask?” Me? Why, I’m just going to run over and see Sue.” Are you? So’m I,” said Ted laconically. The two friends joined arms and proceeded on up the street. As they were ascending the steps, Bill remarked to Ted: “Say, Ted, you ring the bell.” Not much, Bill—isn’t she your cousin? You ring it.” Bill couldn't see how his being Sue’s cousin had anything to do with ringing the bell, so he playfully pushed his friend across the porch, hoping the added stimulus would raise his friend’s courage. A moment later he regretted his act. Ted tripped over something on the porch and fell against the door. The door Hew open and Ted flew in. Bill followed more leisurely. Sue’s father—Mr. Strong, and Sue’s mother—Mrs. Strong and Susan Strong herself, all rushed down-stairs to find out, if possible, what was the matter. Ted picked himself up as quickly as possible, cordially shook hands all around and smiling affably, said: Just an accident, you know. Mr. Strong. Well, how is everybody?” Mr. Strong assured him all were well. Ted, white and nervous, dropped into the chair nearest the door. “Why, Ted, my dear boy,” said Mr. Strong, kindly, “what’s the matter? Don’t you feel well? I fear you’ve injured yourself in falling. Better come out and take a little wine—you look wretched.” “dt, no—no—Mr. Strong, thank you. It's very kind of you. I’m sure— but, I’m all right.” Billy noticed how ill his friend appeared—so did Mrs. Strong and Sue. They all gathered around him, sympathizing and Mrs. Strong took his arm and begged him to go out into another room and lie down. Ted begged Mrs. Strong to believe that nothing was the matter with him,—all the while sitting perfectly still and looking miserable. Finally everybody went on into the room and sat down. But Ted remained in his seat, with an air of dogged determination to keep on remaining there despite anything which might transpire to the contrary. Sue motioned to Ted to take a scat near her. Bill observed the sign and seconded it by singing out: , “Come, Theodore, be sociable. Take a chair nearer the family circle.” “Couldn’t think of it,” Ted replied with a piteous attempt at a grin, “Chair s too comfortable.” page one hundred and fifly-one Such an answer settled Mrs. Strong. The chair was of a “mission” style— hack perpendicular to the seat, and no arms. “Come now, Ted,” said Mrs. Strong tenderly, “you’re ill. Don’t be ashamed of a little weakness. What’s the matter, my dear child?” “O, now Mrs Strong—do I look ill? I never felt better in my life. But just to please my fastidious friend Will. I’ll go over and sit next to Sue.” He did. He rose with the chair and crossed over to Sue. In crossing over, Ted and the chair were in the same relative position as when Ted was sitting on the chair. The “family” construed Theodore’s latest move as an attempt at fatuity and greeted it with roars of laughter. Ted’s spirits rose, his face resumed its healthy color,—but he still kept to his stiff-hacked chair. Mr. Strong remained only a few minutes, but his estimable wife proceeded to make herself as comfortable—and the boys as uncomfortable—as she possibly could. Ted and Bill exchanged grimaces and otherwise showed each other their keen appreciation of Mrs. Strong’s presence. Billy, who gloried in a reputation as an able talker, assumed the initiative. Say, Ted, have you learned your geometry yet?” “Xope,” Ted answered, in a tone which implied that the matter was too insignificant for serious consideration. “What! 'You haven’t!” broke in Mrs. Strong indignantly—“you gadding around without knowing your lessons!’’ Sue and Billy exchanged glances. “Bless me, Mrs. Strong,” Ted hurried to say, “don't you know 1 study every morning? How about it, Billy,—don’t I?” “Do you ? Why, my dear aunt, the way that hoy studies is a perfect outrage. 'Pon my soul, if he persists in cooping himself up in his room every morning the way he does—why—he—he'll ruin his health.” Ted found it absolutely necessary to blow his nasal adornment and to consume about three minutes doing it, too. Mrs. Strong wanted to say something, but there’s no getting over plainly spoken facts. So she subsided. The boys sat thinking over their narrow escape, until Billy shattered the oppressive si lence with: “Ted, arc you going to do all that German?” “Am I? Are you? asked Ted evasively. “How about you, Coz? You take German, don’t you?” “Sure, I take it, Billy. My grade was forty-seven. Arc you going to do it, Ted?” “Yes, every letter of it,” said Ted doggedly, staring at the carpet. “So’m I,” from Billy—who didn’t say so before because lie didn't know Ted’s opinion on the subject. Sue didn’t say so before, for an entirely different reason. page one hundred and fifly-lWo “Say, Ted, she’s an awful nice teacher, isn’t she?” An affirmative nod answered him. “Hut doesn’t it make you angry when you’ve studied German till you’re black m the face, and then stumble on one word?” Oh 1 doesn’t it, though 1” And have her ask you if you looked over the lesson at all. and when you say you have, she says. 'You sit down. I don’t believe it.’ Now doesn’t it? The mere recollection oversowed Ted. All he could do was to shake his friend's hand tenderly. Hilly shook out his handkerchief, blew his nce-e and looked pious. Ted shook out his handkerchief, blew his nose and tried to look pious. Me couldn’t. No. He only looked sick. Finally he braced up and said to Bill: Bill, have you learned your “Burke?” Aw, shut up!” (Prolonged silence, broken by subdued giggles from Susan.) And Bill, do you think I deserved a zero for my luminous outburst in physics? Now, do you?” “No, indeed you didn’t. Did he, Sue?” Hilly always liked to have someone share his opinion. “And Ted, did I?” asked Sue. “No, you did not!” returned Ted with spirit, “why, I couldn’t have done any better myself.” “Well!” Sue snapped, with her head tilted, “who asked if you could do better ?” Ted perceived that he had “put his foot into it” and kept still for fear of following his pedal extremity. Mrs. Strong rose and left the room. Ted remarked that Bill’s foolish chatter drove her out and showed his inclination to, disfigure Hill’s face, by winking at him violently. Sue had puckered up her pretty face trying to devise some method of getting even with Ted. “Sue,” asked her cousin, is there anything you admire quite as much as a genuinely good singer?” “Nothing, Bill, absolutely nothing. Why? “Did you ever hear Ted sing?” “No, I never did. But 1 should like to.” During this brief dialogue. Ted had been frantically trying to attract his friend’s attention by alternately waving his arms wildly above his head, and shaking his fist in the air, when Sue, turning suddenly and seeing the performance at its heights, ejaculated: “Why, Billy! What’s the matter with Ted?” I’ll be mutilated if I know. He appears to be ill, doesn’t he? Meanwhile, our unfortunate friend thought he was getting out of it nicely. page one hundred and fifty three He sat staring curiously at his hands, as if expecting them to blossom out and sprout ideas, or something of that kind. There was a look of terror in his face It was not caused, as he wished his friend to think, by anything peculiar about his hands. No. It was far more serious. It was something which involved his personal happiness for the evening. It was this: In making his rather hasty en-tarnce into the house, something ripped. “Here now. none of that, my boy,” said Billy—then turning to Sue, “By special request, Mr. Theodore will now render a solo.” By special request, he’ll do nothing of the sort. He’d much rather die.” “Oh, Ted! Now do, won’t you?” coaxed Sue. Ted could wither Billy—but Billy’s cousin------. “Well, now I’ll tell you, Sue. If you’ll play something on the piano first, I’ll sing.” He reflected that while Sue played, he could acquaint Bill with his misfortune, and Bill, being a nice, manly fellow, would excuse him from singing. That is why he compromised. While Site played. Ted did acquaint Bill with the nature and position of the disaster, at which Bill laughed longer and louder than good breeding allows. So, in Ted’s opinion, Bill didn’t turn out to be a nice, manly fellow. No. He turned out to be a scamp and a fool. He stopped Sue and demanded that Ted sing as promised. “Well, Sue—I’ll have to be going.” “What! Ted, going home! “No, sir-ee, Ted—you sing, do you hear?” For fear he didn't hear, Bill grabbed Ted’s arm, with the benevolent intention of escorting him to the piano. Ted said. No, I'm too weak to get up and sing. I'll sing here where I’m comfortable,” and at the same time gave Bill a playful punch, which caused that young gentleman to sit down to think it over. Ted sang. Yes. Everybody admits that. But they dispute about how long he sang. They don’t know how long, but they do know that his dismal wailings were stopped as soon as possible. Yes. Bill said he wouldn’t put up with it, and Sue said she couldn’t. Here Mrs. Strong created a little pleasant diversion by ushering in some lemonade and cake, by way of refreshment. There were two plates of cake for four people, so it was most natural for Billy to look after his beloved aunt, while Ted demonstrated to Sue how nicely he could eat cake, drink lemonade-and charm her with his conversation, all at the same time and not perspire. Everything might have gone on pleasantly enough, if Mrs. Strong hadn’t said: “Ted, my dear, please hand me the book lying on that table, indicating a table some five feet from where he sat. Ted. who was the model of politeness, page one hundred and fifty-four instantly rose to execute the request, but he suddenly paled and dropped back heavily into the chair. Bill roared. “Say, Billy, you get it, will you? You’re so much younger than I, you know.” “Why, Theodore, Oh! very well,” said Mrs. Strong coldly. “Billy, I know you're polite enough to hand me that book. Yes—that one. Thank you.” Sue looked first at Ted, then at her cousin and then at her mother, but she could make nothing of it. Poor Ted! who prided himself on his politeness and gallantry to the fair sex. “Really, Mrs. Strong, I ask your pardon. Let me explain at another time.” No explanation is necessary, Theodore,” returned Mrs. Strong icily and picking up the book, quitted the room. Ted was now sore right through. He said he was going and if Bill wanted to stay all night, he could and after this when he (Ted) would go to see a young lady, he’d go alone or with a gentleman. While saying all this he backed to the door, grabbed his overcoat and put it on. When the overcoat went on, the worried expression went off, and he was the same, old, jovial Ted, again. Bill laughed and put his overcoat on. Mr. Strong came down to see how Ted was feeling and Mrs. Strong came down to keep him company, I think. I’m not sure, though. Mr. Strong remarked that Ted looked much better and glanced at Sue and blushed; and at Billy, and laughed. The boys shook everybody’s hand, vowed they never had a better time and left.

(Whilst thus with most depreciative English and classical denunciation the above mentioned is being duly dispensed with and with ravishing terms and irresistable coaxings the jolly Mirth and her jovial companions arc being summoned. I prepare myself for awaking)— To hear the mother, ere ’tis light, Loud calling, startle the dull night, From her watch-tower in the skies, Till her idle son doth rise; For she comes e’en to my sorrow, And at my door doth bid good-morrow; While the cook, with lively din, Hustles the steaming breakfast in. Oft listening to the violin Cheerily rouse my slumbering kin, Plied with brother’s doubtful skill, From the parlor echoing shrill; Sometimes hasting, not unseen. Past yelping dogs, o’er front lawns green. School begins full prompt at eight, Then let me haste, lest I be late. A thrifty father near at hand, Whistling o’er his well kept land, His clashing lawn-mower slashing keen, He guides along the pleasant green. Anon the milkman callcth blythe Unto his steeds that spring full lithe, And ratt’lcth well each noisy can To show he is a true milkman. Straight mine eye hath caught new pleasures, Whilst the school-room ’round it measures: Russet hair with ribbons gay, Where deft-arranging fingers stray; Caesar, on whose barren crest Dust and honor mingled rest; Latin prose and Greek it sees, page one hundred and fifty-six Books arranged so as to please; There may-hap some pony lies Well concealed from teacher’s eyes. Soon howe’er, without delight. The recitations will invite; Then the doleful bell rings round And the steps of pupils sound Of many a youth and many a maid. (Ties and socks with care displayed). We see the drudging Taylor sweat In Latin, and a zero get. Thus till the livelong morning fail, Only learned heads prevail. Then to the well trod stage anon. If Colegrove’s learned sock be on, Or sweetest Erland, papa’s child. Warbles his plaintive wood-notes wild. And ever against eating cares, Lap me in soft Lydian airs. Such music surely ne’er was made, Save when our Orchestra has played Those strains which would have quite compelled Old Pluto, who in prison held The beautious bride of Orpheus’ love, To send her, at the sound, above. These pleasures. Glcnville High School, give. And I with thee will choose to live. page one hundred and fifty seven An Ode on Foot Ball By L. John. Just bring along the ambulance. And call a red cross nurse. Then ring the undertaker up And make him bring the hearse. Have all the surgeons ready there For they’ll have work today. Oh. can’t you see the foot ball team Is lining up to play? They Begin Now watch the interlocutor, The good old center rush! He’ll make that little end man there I-ook like a plate of mush. He’s jumping on that thin man’s face— (He don’t care how it feels). It doesn’t seem to hurt his feet— lie must have rubber heels. Third Spasm A hunch-back runs across the field, On him the players jump, They think the ball’s beneath his coat— They don’t know that’s his hump. The full-backs and the quarter-backs And half-backs may be downed; But they will never put that hunch-back’s Shoulders to the ground. Another Spell Five men rush at the quarter-back. They’ve tried to break his knee. The clock struck two, and now the Quarter strikes the other three. He knocks two of them down and now page one hundred and fifty-eight He’s made the third man run. There’s lots of time to catch him It’s a quarter after one. The Plot Thickens The full back and the center rush Are in a verbal fight, The full back says the center rush Is very impolite. That center is no gentleman He tells the referee “For when I kicked him in the face He never noticed me.” The Final Fit This game is getting very slow. They ought to change the rules. They’ve only killed six men so far-Thosc gentle little fools! There’s only ten men injured, for The referee is lax. To liven up the game he should Let each man have an axe. The Burgomaster By Allport ’09. Out from liis house the burgomaster Loudly strode, and on his steed He Hung himself and frowning rode Forth from his gate with reckless speed. While clinked his stallion’s bridle in the wind. And in the smooth gray dust the muffled beat Of iron-shod hoofs in drowsy tatoo fell, The dark'ning frown upon his fair, fat face Of what within was stirring told full well. For his mind was burdened down with ills And cares that seemed to press the more Because his evening meal was late And good flame Gertrude had vexed him sore. So on he rode as was his wont. Leaving the smoky town behind, Faring toward the cool green wood Sympathy therein to find; Or. finding none, to ponder on The tedious thoughts that thronged his mind. And when he neared a quiet brook. Where leaves and twigs that glided slow And fieecy clouds far down below Seemed with a single breath to move. He left his horse to graze near bv; And, where the mellow slanting sheen Streamed toward him thro’ the leaves and lay In scattered softness on the green, He flung himself with weary sigh. A little bee, his labors o’er Came buzzing home contentedly. The weary man watched his career As far as he with eye could see Until the tiny yellow speck page one hundred and sixty Was lost to view among the trees “How happy,” tliought he, “is a bee.” A dainty wild rose growing near He plucked and idly scanned to see Its shape, its tender hue and all Its traits of naive purity “Ah 1 why,” he said, “docs so much grace “Bloom but to perish in this place?” The robin on the outmost twig Of yon old elm sang joyously, As if to make his closing lay The very finest of the day. Above his head the frisking squirrel Whisking briskly to and fro Chattered loudly to his mate Who answered from a neighboring oak. “I wonder if they ever quarrel “Chee-e” the boisterous answer came “Why no!” Evening now across the sky Had spread her deepening twilight veil. The gentle whinney of his horse Told of the approaching shades of night. He mounted then and homeward rode In balmy summer's soft twilight. Cheerfully the light gleamed out Toward him. and the savory scent Of supper, waiting his return Was wafted to him. And tho late Three fair haired little children stood With mother, waiting at the gate. “Now what a happy man am I!” He said. The evening breeze now sighed And gently whispering replied “Now what a happy man am I.” page one hundred and sixty-one “Within the Spaniard’s Claws” Being the actual experiences of a war-correspondent. By A. Koblitz. At the sonorous tolling of the prison bell I suddenly awoke from the stupor into which I had fallen. My head was like a burning coal—my body bathed in perspiration. The room was black as pitch. I did not at first realize where I was. I thought I was still in my tent, surrounded by the tents of our army. With a shrill cry I called to them. At the sound of my own voice I remembered the events of the last few hours and where I was. A sudden fit of nervousness overcame me. In an instant I saw my past, present and future flash before me like a stroke of lightning. I saw my aspirations, my hopes, dashed to pieces; my past life wasted—before sunrise I must die. There at the dead hour of the night, while all the city slumbered peacefully. I lay awake in fitful expectation, dreading those beams of light that inevitably must come. I pondered over my untimely fate. I recalled the many incidents I had experienced; how many times I had been snatched from the very jaws of death; the wars; the fights with wild beasts; the struggles in the tempestuous seas—all these came before me; and in the distance I saw the end, the reward, the result of all these trials—the scaffold. No wonder T turned pale and shuddered. No wonder sanity forsook me. The prospect of a felon’s death was too much for a man condemned unjustly. With a shriek I arose from the stone bench. It was a cry of desperation, for at that momnent I remembered my wife, father, mother and friends, thousands of miles away. Oh God! if I could but speak to them once more before I died, 1 should be satisfied. But a Spaniard who inherited the dire cruelty that swayed the inquisition centuries ago was my captor. He had sentenced me and he I knew would execute his edict. I could not convince him that I was innocent—that I was only a war-correspondent sent to the island from New York to record the events and was no spy. I knew no Spanish. In vain I tried to explain. With oaths he hurried me away without a trial. At sunrise I was to die. So flew the hours—one—two—three. From the passage resounded the voice of the sentinel, calling the rounds. I heard the rumbling of a carriage returning from some military ball. Anon the noise ceased. 1 was left in a horrible silence. I fancied I saw a thousand horrid shapes in the darkness, all pointing toward me with their bony fingers and laughing demoniacally. And some there were that moaned and whined piteously. page one hundred and sixty-tixo The hallucination became unendurable. I paced the floor to and fro like a starved lion roarjng in his cage. I seemed excited to fury by the phantoms in the cell. 1 denounced the name of Spain. I swore vengeance on the whole accursed race. I even reproached my own country, although I knew the American general was not informed of my accidental capture. He did not know' that I was treacherously seized by a body of Spanish scouts just outside of our lines. If he knew' of my misfortune, he and his two thousand boys would be thundering at the gates of this castle before daybreak. I am no spy! Why do they detain me? I am no soldier of war! I represent everyone—European and American. In informing humanity of these battles I commit no wrong. Hush! What’s that! Through the night air there came the sound of workmen in the courtyard above. In an instant T understood it all. The gallows! They are making my scaffold. I too must feel the torture of the rope. So many, more worthy and more useful than myself, have trod that lane before me that I shall have no difficulty in seeing it. Cruel habit! how' you shear the terrible of its horror. Lying in my dungeon, 1 listened eagerly to the hammer blows, although each one wras literally my death-knell. I even speculated as to the sound the next blow would create. Sometimes 1 hummed to the aweful tune, unconscious of tine end. Gradually my reason returned. Surely Providence destined me for some other fate. If not, why did the enemy sentence me to the gallows instead of shooting me as was their custom. Imagine the scene in the courtyard above. There arc the carpenters engaged in their hideous work. Around them are gathered the sentinels, gazing with grim delight. They smile as they think of the sport the morrow’s sun will bring. They suspect nothing and innocently ply their work. But hush! From the east is heard the soft tramp of troopers, the rustling of leaves and the flight of some startled birds. Stealthily, like hungry wolves stealing upon a.lawful prey, the band of the red, white and blue drew steadily nearer and nearer. Suddenly I heard a shriek of terror, several hurried commands from the road, and like the galley slave, who chained to the side of his ship awaits, terror-stricken, for the sinking of his trireme, so after this clamor, paralized with fear, I expected some terrible disaster. The great bell sounded again and again. Then I heard the trampling of feet overhead, voices in the corridors. I thought they were coming to conduct me to the court-yard. I became erect and rigid, determined to endure the sentence bravely. I must have stood in this posture for some time. I must have lost consciousness. When I recovered I was in the tent of my general attended by my physician. ‘Learning of my capture—surprizing the enemy—taking the castle—rescuing me:’ these were the first words I heard and they fell upon my ears like the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath. page one hundred and sixty-thre Some Spasms Thrown by Elmer Blum. Spasm I His head was bent and low bowed down. His sheet he fixed with a look profound. ’Twas a Senior who sat, and looked not around As he sat—and sat—and uttered no sound. Spasm II His theme already two days late. In vain he racked his aching pale And thought of all that would be his fate When on the morrow once more she” must wait. Spasm III He chewed on his pencil till it was a stub, He called himself forty-nine kinds of a dub. He spattered more ink than would fill up a tub. And then with eraser every bit did he scrub. Spasm VI The clock struck eleven and then it struck twelve But still at that theme he did dig and did delve. Ten times he began it. ten times lie erased it, And used his poor pen like an axe’s stout helve. Spasm IV The old clock struck one and again it struck two, And with wandering mind that poor Senior did strew O’er the table his paper, his ink on his shoe; His pen he had eaten in his agony too. Spasm V When the dull morning broke he was found in a snooze, All covered with ink, and they thought he had booze. But when jarred into waking from his lips there did ooze A string of impossible subjects to use. page, one hundred and sixty-four Spasm VII At the station 'twas found the poor youth was insane. In padded cell twenty-three ever since he has lain. And always lie tries, with his poor fuddled brain. To write on the wall a theme with a cane. Spasm VIII The Awakening “Rut now. you will say, “this a lesson has been To teachers who make us write themes off like sin” Ah me! must I spoil that fond dream you arc in? Listen, my little one. I’ll inform you therein When they read this sad story, they simply will grin And they'll give us more themes and they’ll say “There pitch in. page, one hundred and sixty-five Patronize Our .
