LILLIAN UNGER..................................(Lil) Cheerful, gay, and full of fun. She is liked by everyone. Vice-President of Class; Garcian, Vice President; Student Councillor; Friendship Club; Senior Magazine Board. We will never forget the way that ’‘Lil” cried in “Love-Fibs.” The entire audience was baffled over the question: “Is she really crying?” Of course, we know she was not. Lillian had occasion to prove her executive ability at the dress meetings of senior girls. FLOYD KLOEPFER ...............................(Klep) His manners stately Please us greatly. Class Treasurer; Forensic, Vice-President; Boys' Glee Club; Senior Cadet Major; Senior Magazine Board. Here is the fellow who is continually asking for more money. He does it so pleasantly, however, we simply cannot refuse to comply with his requests. Floyd is very particular about his personal appearance and his hair is always combed just so. DOROTHY M. WARNER............................(Dolly) A girl just made to carry things through, So many ventures depend on you. Class Secretary: Garcian, Corresponding Secretary; B. B. C., President- Glee Club; Senior Magazine Board, Editor-in-Chief. There are few things that this young lady cannot do! She is so punctual and efficient in everything she undertakes. It would be difficult to find another to play in “Love-Fibs” as successfully as “Dolly” did. We all love and admiit Dorothy and hope that Glen-ville will have many more like her to boast of! 18] Glenville Hl(iH EDWARD ABE................................. (Ed) Smiles that drive dull care away Across his face do ever flay. Entertainment Committee, Chairman; Student Councillor; Wranglers; Basketball; Interclass Football; Track: Senior Magazine Board. Here he is ! The fellow who plays the saxaphone! He surely knows how to play and how he sends us off a-dancing with his tunes! How he would blush to hear this, modest chap that he is. Is it customary for a ‘perfect lover” to blush; “Love-Fibs?” Here he is. He’s blushing again! ELIZABETH EPPICH.......................(Bettif.) ) es. the brighest girl in our class. But—in good times and fun she's far from the last. Entertainment Committee: Garcian, Treasurer; R. P. R.. President; Reflector Board: Librarian; Faculty Choice for Commencement; Valedictorian. Bettie” has shattered our idea of what a valedictorian must surely be! Does her dancing lack “pep”? Do we mention popular” and book-worm in the same breath ? O no, Bettie. you have proved that a “val” is not always as the world pictures one! GLEX ROVER He’s a clever lad with measured «• ” And business ability that none did suspect. Entertainment Committee: Forensic: Torch Board; Senior Magazine, Business Manager. Glen is one boy who was never seen idle around school. He was always on his way to some meeting, or studying a lesson (preferably chemistry). Xo silly nicknames for him, thev are only a nuisance when your real name j so short, he claims. So to us he will always be just Glen.” BLAXCHE SCHAXDLER .........................(Red) Entertainment Committee: Garcian; R. P. R.. Reflector Board: Board, La Petite Revue: Faculty Choice for Commencement. Blanche is such a quiet little girl—we might not miss her if she were not so brilliantly clever. There are few hooks she has not read. Her knowledge seems to be unlimited. Of course, you have read some of her poetry or essays which are delightfully charming and sweet. Remember “A Defense of Cats”? Commencement Magazine [9] ALICE BRENNAN...............................(Ikish) Her brilliant hair is combed just so . hid her grades arc never low. Entertainment Committee: Garcian; 15. B. C , Vice-President; Faculty Choice for Commencement. Alice’s bangs! Did you ever see the like? Just so long—one-half inch by linear measure, combed in a semi-circle right in the middle of her forehead. She has the added distinction of never being tardy. Always on time, her inexhaustible supply of Irish wit with her. MOLLY GOLDSTEIN.............................(Bobsyi She proved to us it could be done— To know your lessons and still have fun. Garcian, Recording Secretary: Lc Ccrlc Fran-cais. President: Intcrclass Basketball. Captain: Interclass Track: Glee Club; La Petite Itevue Hoard; Faculty Choice for Commencement. Molly or Molly-O.” it makes no difference: we lose our hearts when in the presence of either. Molly, the irresistible, is here, there and everywhere at the same time, always joyous whether discussing Solid with Mr. Hazel, or arranging those willful bangs. MERLE WAGNER................................(Dixie) A quiet, unassuming maid Who showed that study really paid. R. P. R.: B. R. C.: Faculty Choice for Commencement. If I were a poet I would be better qualified to describe this maiden. She is so gentle and inconspicuous that you would nevei know the wonderful things she does if someone didn’t tel! you. She i exceptionally clever in everything, but .Math seems to be her specialty. Solid holds no terror for Merle, such things are mere trifles. LEO J. SCHWARTZ...........................(Xvoi.tz) If all the boys of Glcnville High Knew as much as Leo—Oh, me! Oh. my! R. P. R., Vice-President: Faculty Choice for Commencement. Leo is one of the smaller members of the class but he is very smart. He is a very good Latin student, but he does all things equally well. He has the great honor of being the cleverest boy in our class and the only boy chosen by the faculty to speak. Leo—you arc guilty of blushing! [10] Glenville High HARRY TILLMAN ............................(Rover) His hand expresses what he thinks In pictures drawn with pen and ink. Wranglers: Dramatic Club, President: Torch Hoard; Varsity Swimming; Intcrclass Football; Class Choice for Commencement. Harry’s cartoons have added much to our weekly publications. Glenville will feel the loss of this talented artist. Harry’s tongue is wielded with as great an ease as his pen. He makes use of this “gift” by constantly “bothering” (?) the girls. But they seem to like it. SYLVIA AMSTER ........................ Svi) ’Tis easy from her face to knoic Why all our swains commend her so. R. P. R. Why worry? Sylvia doesn’t. It isn't worth your while, she say.-. If you ever meet this happy maid you will readilv see how carefree she is. Of course, she is serious sometimes, especially in the Latin class. There you might see her pucker her brows in perplexity. when she is a trifle uncertain whether “dominae” means “home” or queen. CLARA ARNOLD...............................(Bib Foremost in the ranks of fun. . I happy maiden loved by everyone. Wand Club; Friendship Club; 11. II. C. (one term); Senior .Magazine Hoard. Is that Clara? O yes! Don’t you know her? W ell, you certainly missed the opportunity of meeting one of the jolliest. happiest girls of the 12A class. She is just brimful of originality and fun.

She is liked by all she meets. French Club. Anna has a very original way of speaking and expresses herself in a direct straightforward manner.

[11] Com m encement M agazi n e CLARA BAKAITES..........................(Birdie) A happy maiaai With smiles and words of kindness laden. Beta Sigma; Club of Commerce, Vice-President, Charter Member. ‘‘Very sweet, demure and dainty, is the phrase we hear in praise of Clara on all hands.

DOROTHY BAUMGARTH..........................(Dot) In music she excels, Though she does all things well. B. R C ; Glee Club. Secretary and Treasurer. ‘‘O what bird can that be? asked those who are not acquainted with Dorothy’s voice. And truly we do not wonder at the question knowing how sweet the warbling notes arc. There are other ‘‘notes, too. Indeed. Dorothy is extremely partial to “notes” of any description; you know she is secretary of the Girls’ Glee Club! GEORGE BERXEIKE ............................(Geo) A lad of stature tall is he. Winning jriends with jollity. ' Sophomore and Senior Interclass Football. A right down good sport, with just the correct amount of modesty, pep and wisdom—surely an outstanding character. And who is there among us who can say him nay? Present at all our parties with his machine oiled, geared, and polished for the occasion. An excellent chauffeur he, and the life of the party. JOSEPHINE BERSCII .....................(Josey) To us she came not long ago, And now we hate to let her go. Central High; East High. Josey” wore the Blue and Gold colors before the Red and Black, but doesn’t it make you happy to know that she chose old G. H. S. to hand her a diploma? Josephine spends all her spare hours down at Hiram House teaching foreign children how to be good Americans. Gi.exvii.le High [12] EDYTHE MAE BEYER........................(Kde) Idle cares I hare no room for thee My lips for smiles were made to be. This dark-haired, serious-eyed siren was ever in the company of “Mae,” a fair-haired, gray-eyed goddess. “Ede.” an expert seamstress, makes many pretty clothes for herself and is a proud exponent of the Home Economics department. She is very modest about this virtue, however, a trait quite becoming a young lady. FLORENCE BLOCH ..........................(Blockv) Enjoying life thoroughly day by day. Blocky” is always cheerful and gay. Garcian, Corresponding Secretary. Here she comes now! Who? Why. it is Florence, of course. Florence is the one with the brown eyes, very soft brown eyes they are, too, radiating kindness and friendliness. Her bobbed hair causes her quite a bit of trouble because the ends refuse to stay where she wants them. MARION BON ST EE. I......................(Marv Ann) Friends like Marion are few; Always helpful, always true. B. B. C.: Glee Club; Senior Magazine Board. Let me introduce you to Marion. She is so good-natured and knows no end of jolly things to do. She is a live wire at all the parties and improvises all sorts of games and stunts. If it were not for her hospitality, the class would not have had two of its many parties. Three cheers for Marion! RUTH BOWEN ..................................(Kitty) Always to help a friend in need Seems to be this maiden's creed. Glee Club: Girls' Band: Reflector (sub.). Truly such a lithe, trim little personage would grace the most fastidious medieval court, especially when robed in black and crimson with a jaunty Tam-o-Shanter and drooping ostrich plume. For dost thou not recall the page in the 47 Workshop Play? Ruth is quite a critic of dramatics and in her inconspicuous way adds a spicy note to productions.

BERTF.LLE CLARK.............................(Bert) In this folly little maid Sunshine and mirth do ever play. Friendship; Wand. They say that good things come in small packages; perhaps that is why Bertcile is small. Never mind, though. Bertcile is just bubbling over with energy and ambition, even though she isn’t very large.

Friendship: Intcrclass Track. Bon jour. Peggy! It is unnecessary to ask. “How are you? ' because we know you are as joyous as the lark at break of day. Were you ever otherwise?

LEONA DIENER..............................(Lef.) All those who have known or seen her Speak only praise of 1.1 ona Dieucr. Do you know her? Of course, you do!

A charming maid, a good friend through and through. C. O. C.. Charter Member, Piesident: Basketball. Some wise sage has said, If one has a nickname, one is popular.” Dorris has three: Foxy.” Chick” and Dee.” so what would the world say to that? Foxy” was at every class party and we marveled that one small head should contain such a store of exquisite games for crowds. Perhaps her presence accounts for the fact that there was not one dry” moment at any affair. Com mencem ent Magazi xe [17] HELEN FRANKEL ............................(Happy) Always happy, never sad; The kind of girl zve like to have. Class Historian. Does she go to all the patties? O yes!

Though he's quiet, he likes to jest; When you know him. he’s one of the best. Boys’ Glee Club; Track; Senior Magazine Board. Tall, dark, with all the makings of a tine young fellow and a good sport. There was something quiet, something reserved about him until we knew him better. Then—all was changed!

The sweetest girl in Glenviltc High. C. O. C., Charter Member, Treasurer; Wand Club. Some names fit like a glove! So it is with “01.” Even though her name were Henrietta. Madeline or Pearl, we feel that she could be called only Olive bv those who love her. “Her’s is a name not born to die.” What poet would not willingly sing of her? ALLEEN GOOD ....................................(Goodie) Through the years that are now at an end. She has been to all of us a good friend. Friendship Club.

He surely is a handy man and has worked in order to be dubbed “Sir by his classmates. RUTH GORDON ...............................(Ruthie) In algebra she never slipped. Nor did her tongue in Latin trip. B. B. C. Another short girl! O yes, we have quite a number. and Ruth is one of them. Ruth is so pleasant and good-natured that one cannot help liking her.

Commencement Magazine [19] FRIEDA GROSSMAN ........................(Tixy) Hurrying here, hurrying there, Frieda seems just everywhere. Glee Club. Such a small, inconspicuous young lady! So clever, too. especially in music! If ever you have been in the same music class with Frieda, you will know how quickly she can name all the keys, both sharps and flats. Frieda has very lovely eyes, too—bright, shining and simply bubbling over with joy and mirth. WILBERT IDEN..................................(Curly) A pleasing personality. Just brimming over with originality. Football; Senior Magazine Board. Oh! what a joy to run your fingers through such curly hair. Naturally curly hair that refuses to stay in place, hair that has won for its owner the name “Curly.” He and Harry are fast friends and together they are comedians difficult to surpass. s Harry says, “I have to always be near Curly, because he furnishes all the inspiration for my cartoons.” CATHERINE GUERRA .......................(Kitty) Smiling every time you meet her. What on earth could make her sure ter Secretary and Charter Member of C. O. C. A nymph with flashing ebon eyes, raven hair, dimpled cheeks, arched eyebrows, dainty a� r and stature small, is Catherine. In the dance she is as light and graceful as a kitten. Maybe that accounts for her nickname of “Kitty.” One noteworthy feature is the number of friends she has among the underclassmen, as well as among the graduates. MARION HARPER ..............................(Copper) Sunny of hair and mind. A nicer girl is hard to find. VY.md Club; Friendship Club; Class Historian. Another auburn-haired lassie, wearing the dear little freckles that go hand-in-hand with that shade of hair. To those in Miss Campbell’s first hour English class Marion is a marvel. Reason? Never late. No matter how early you may be for class, Marion is always there ahead of you. And bright? O my. yes! As bright and shining as her “crowning glory. [20] Glenville High BLANCHE HIGHLY..............................(Blinky) With pleasant ways that 'will carry her far. Calm and serene as an evening star. This young lady has the distinction of coming from Marion. Ohio, the home of President Harding. While in Marion, Blanche attended Harding High School It would be very nice to graduate from a school named for the President, but we are glad that she is with us now instead of there. EMI AH HOPKINS............................(Hoppy) Auburn of hair and big brown eyes. When she’s around time just flies. Senior Magazine Board; Wand Club. President; Friendship Club; Interclass Basketball; Interclass Track. Emiah Jane Hopkins—such a long name for such a wee little girl. You’ll admit Hoppy” suits her much better, as it reminds you of her as well as of tiny Hop o’ My Thumb.” Hoppy,” however, wouldn’t let her stature interfere with her playing basketball for four years, always making the first team. EDWARD JOHNSON ...........................(Eddie) If the saying old is so— “Still waters run deep,” you know. Orchestra. This little light-haired fellow called Eddie” says, I may be small but that does not stand in the way of my playing the violin.” W e agree with Eddie” for he certainly can coax harmonies out of his instrument. It it be true that American musicians are hostile to frowns, this blue-eyed chap is a real artist. GEORGIA JOHNSTON ............................(Geo) Happy as the day is long, Full of laughter, mirth, and song. Orchestra; Glee Club. Entertainment Committee; Freshman Basketball. Buxom, blithe and debonair”—that is the way Milton would probably have characterized this maiden. She is just brimful of life and vigor, always ready for a good time.

RUSSELL KADOW..................................(Russ) IVe wonder if you possibly can Find a better model for a collar ad” man Basketball; Football. Interclass; Parthenon Club. Boys say Russ” is sober. Maybe that is true, but it depends largely on your interpretation of sober.” For it is he who is always calling his dry humor into play and utterly provoking the victim of his wit. If you doubt his popularity, just go to a certain large theater and you will see why there are always so many Glenvilliies present. MABELLE KENDIS ...........................(Gerry) Dull care, you have no charm for me, I long for mirth and jollity. Glee Club. Just drop “Ma” from Mabelle and you have Belle,” and that just suits this young goddess. She is witty, clever and pretty, always on time and ever ready with a helping hand; always out at our parties, a supporter of athletics and especially fond of football. Is it not easy to recall some of the pet hobbies of our Belle”? But perhaps you did not see the “Galosh Dance.” She was there! KATHERINE KNAPP.............................(Kay) She’s as smart as she can be; Still she’s in for fun, you see. Senior Magazine Board. The living calendar of dates,” that’s Kay.” Just ask when Constantinople fell, when Mahomet invaded the North Mediterranean coast, the date of Cromwell’s reign, or just whatever date has slipped your mind and she. our calendar, will tell you without faltering. And in Civics, such a girl to ask questions! Glenville High RICHARD KLEIN ............................(Dick) Now Dicky is a modest chap. And oj his virtues ne'er zvill chat. Dick is a quiet sort of chap around school. Still there are reasons to believe he was a good scholar, for he strove hard in the science of chemistry. His classmates look back to Dick and see him as one of the school’s noted scientists. EDITH LEWIN .........................................(Edf.) Often the nicest things of all Are like Edith, very small. Edith is so little that we almost expect to see her wafted away on the first spring zephyrs, but she always fools us and proves her sturdiness. No one who has heard her sing those long camp songs and heard her tell of camping life, weiner and marshmallow roasts, stunts, swimming, etc., can doubt her hardiness. RAYMOND KNERR ...........................(Ray) Captain Knerr commands his section, And governs his heart to perfection. Senior Cadet Major; Class Historian. Ray” always was an active member of our class but—note the blush on the nape of his neck—he has a great interest in a dark girl. We can’t tell her name but you know her! We think “Ray” looks great in his uniform, however—just look at that blush! BESSIE LIFSHITZ...........................(Bess) Happiness is her delight. She laughs and sings from mom till night. 15. 15. C.; French Club; Glee Club (one term). Quiet, reserved, winning, and tanned to the color of an Indian beauty. To look at her is a pleasure; to be near her a joy. Bessie never comes to school alone. At about 8:29 she is one of the crowd entering and giving attentive cars to Mrs. Bowerfind’s gentle references to the early bird and the worm. Commencement Magazine [23] GRACE LUDWICK .............................(Dimplus) O how dci'f her dimples ploy, .-Is she smiles the live-long day. Garcian. Grace came to us from Long wood when we were Juniors and since has endeared herself to us. She has been an art student and has made many pretty-articles. among which are a darling beaded bag that any girl would like to own—but only Grace did. ROBERT KNOWLES.............................(Bob) Shy? But fun is sure his hobby. Who? Why. none but our “Bobby Wranglers, President: Magazine Board: Inter-class Football; IntercTass Basketball. “Bob is generally known as a quiet young man. His ability to lead, however, is shown by his record. “Still waters run deep.” is an oft quoted saying. That fully applies to “Bob. On him have rested the weight of many ventures and his success at guiding these ventures is well understood. GERTRUDE MAHONEY ......................(Trudy) .1 winsome maid with eyes of blue. We like her. yes. indeed we do. B. B. C.: Senior Magazine Board. Blonds are rare! But here is a really, truly, honest-to-goodness “cream and gold” maiden with gray eyes radiating intelligence—Latin “intelligence —for what this siren docs not know about Latin would take several days to discover. Gertrude is a classical girl whose poetry never fails to leave a pleasant thought with its reader. BERNARD MAZURIE .........................(Missouri) Worries never trouble me— What'll the difference in a century be? Cadet Captain; Glee Club; Orchestra. When desiring to hear a ciarinet soloist, call on “Benny.” You will be overwhelmed, we assure you. “Benny’s” motto is “I aim to please.” And he docs. Not only do his pleasant manners and his playing interpret his artistic icmperatment. but his dancing adds a new note. Oh! we can’t begin to describe his dancing—it would take pages and pages! Glenville High [24] HARRYETTE MASKE ......................(M) With winning ways and manners sweet This little girl cannot be beat. B. B. C. Harryette—those who knew her could not help hut love her. She has such a delightful personality, one which is bound to reach and charm you. A veritable shark at Math, she simply revels in sums and Alegebraic expressions. She is a clever musician. too, very much interested in the study of the piano. SCOTT RODGERS .................................(Casper) He parts his hair -with great precision And does all tilings with like decision. Scott is one of the society boys of our class. Always dressed just so, having the appearance of a weil-to-do gentleman not stooping to the tricks of boys. Scott was always on hand at the parties and scored well in furnishing means of transportation. Oh, yes. Scott drives a big car. ALICE MEADE ....................................(Tom) Though she looks quiet and sedate. When you know her she's simply great. Art Club; Glee Club; Class Prophecy. Alice is inclined toward literature and art and she carries off honors in both lines. If you have ever read any of her stories in the Reflector you will agree that she possesses great skill. Alice has achieved much more in art than in literature, though. Many of her posters have been exhibited in places outside of school, even in Yokohama. Japan. WARREN SANKER .............................(Bick) A friendly lad, an artist, too, And a good scout, through and through. Intcrclass Football. Warren Sanker is one of our artists.

She is a rare friend, good and true. “LaVerna” is a name we like to pronounce, so we do not use “Bab quite so frequently as we might. LaVerna is immediately recognized by her golden hair, combed in tiny ringlets and curls. We wonder what LaVerna does when not in school studying geometry? We wonder. THELMA NEWCOMER .........................(Pat) Beauty is shin deep, hey say: But, Thelma, we don't feel that way. Glee Club. How like a princess she is. in her dark beauty. A pal to all and to one particular Gertrude. Fast friends and true! Thelma is brimful of originality and has her own ideas about important matters such as how a girl graduate should dress—in pastel shade of organdie with arm bouquets. If we only could! JOHN SENGER ............................(Bilk) Though the reason tee can't tell— Somehow we like him awful well. Parthenon, Secretary; Class Prophet: Interclass Football; Class Historian. John may well be termed the “Mark Twain” of the class of ’22. He is always ready to turn a serious remark into a witty one and thereby bring a smile to the most downcast. He makes them almost uncomfortable in their endeavor to smother the laugh that bubbles out when he is around. FLORENCE ORMISTOX...........................(Tiny) Happy in nature, in stature small. A blue eyed maiden liked by all. Friendship; Home Economics. Treasurer. Did you ever see such pretty golden hair? It is as if the sunbeams had played there and left the traces of their brilliant glory. Florence is a quiet little lady, but she endeavors to be always charming ahd sweet. Florence was hostess at the Home Economics dinner. [26] Gi.envii.le High EILEEN SEXTON ...............................(Babe) Of all the girls that ivc have seen, Among the best is one—Eileen. Clubs: B. B. C., Chairman Entertainment Committee; Phi Sigma 1 au Sec. (one term). Chairman Entertainment Committee: Interclass Basketball; Glee Cluo; Class Prophet A tall and lithesome maid, a fairy-like dancer, a jolly friend and a shark at planning spreads. .After attending a B. B. C. spread planned by Eileen we didn’t care to put the actual number of calories consumed on our Biology lab sheets, for the Prof, to read. CLEAH SHEEHAN...........................(Cleopatra) A winning smile and clear blue eyes. As clear and blue as southern skies. Glee Club Oh. there is Cleah! Smiling as usual. 1 see! It would be very difficult to find her anything but pleasant and agreeable. There is a certain warmth in her personality that radiates and wins your friendship. She insists that she will be an “old maid. but we don’t believe it. Why Oh. well, we may be wrong, but you never can tell! JOE VAN KORNGUT.........................(Joey) Short in stature, curly black hair. Joe has an easy, friendly air. A new member of our class who came from East Tech just this year! Although his stay has been comparatively short, we hope it has been a happy one for him. He has made our last term decidedly livelier. Where did he get that wonderful crop of curls? Of all the boys, he and “Curly” are the most envied—envied by the girls. MABELLE SINEK.........................(Mae) A maiden fair. With deep blue eyes and golden hair. Shell-rimmed glasses are so deceiving at times! So we do enjoy a pleasant sensation when “Mae removes hers and we get a chance to see her real self. It really must be nice to be able to appear either a serious student or charming butterfly as one desires. Commexcf.ment Magazine [27] ELINOR STENDEL ..............................(Lenora) A nice little girl to have around; Another like her couldn’t be found. Orchestra vTreasurer and Secretary); B. B.

She is an active member of the orchestra. in fact, she is the pianist. Elinor is an ardent follower of all school activities, especially football. LET A STUCKV.................................(Toots) In her work she finds much pleasure. And contentment to the fullest measure. Oh, there is Leta now! Of course, you know this young lady. She is interested in all kinds of classics, Latin, myths, poetry, and so forth. Her poetry is not the light kind of verse but deep and thoughtful. Leta is thoughtful and industrious herself, so how could she write light verses? Her constant good nature makes her a friendly companion. JULIA STHULBERGER ....................(Judy) A very clever girl is she; Some day famous she may be. C. O. C. “Judy” likes to bubble over with mirth! The bubbling process continues in the chemistry lab. over a Bunsen burner, when “Judy” becomes interested in a neighbor. Bubbles have to be watched! Do you know that sometimes they break? WILLIAM WEBBE ...............................(Senator) None but himself, 'tis plain to tell. Can be this young man’s parallel. Has “Willie” ever shown you his pictures, taken in various positions? One he is quite proud of and the one we like very well was taken on a donkey— now, really, you must see it! Did you ever wonder why Mr. Webbe was called “Senator”? It is because he is so bright and knows so much. [28] Glexville High FANNIE THORN..............................(Fan) Behind those big, brown, dreamy eyes The power of persuasion lies! Here is a reserved young lady who is admired and respected by all. She has a very low, sweet voice which is a delight to hear. Fannie is not too quiet to be jolly, either: she is as ready for a good time as anyone. But. oh! those heavy shell-rimmed glasses! SANFORD WHITE LAW ..................(Sandy) Always to do the best he tan. Is the simple duty of every man. W e have discovered that Sanford is a very apt chemistry experimenter, and revels in new “mixes. Indeed, it is well to stand at the far end of the room when this brave lad is searching for the comparative explosive qualities of TNT and C3 H5 (N 03)3. And doesn’t his appearance remind yon of a tall Indian chief? HARRIET VANDERLIP .......................(Harry) Artistic genius, mathematical mind, Whenever before were the two combined Friendship Club: Art Club, Vice-President (one term). There are smiles and smiles but did you ever see Harriet’s? You surely must have seen that bright, sunny smile flash as quickly as a sunbeam from behind a tiny cloud. The best of it is. too. that her disposition is just as bright and cheerful as her smile. And. O dear, she is so clever as an artist. ROY GLEASON ................................(Glee) A talented youth of modern time. To dancing doth his heart incline. Orchestra (two years): Interclass Athletics: Track. Smiling Roy Gleason is frequently seen carrying a long, black, mysterious looking, queer-shaped box through the corridors. Don’t be alarmed—the box contains a Slide Trombone which Roy plays in Mr. Tones’ Symphony. Roy also plays piano; he entertained the class on several occasions by playing with one finger—sometimes two. Oh. yes. as a high jumper lie became quite famous last spring at the track meet.

Time: Winter, 1923. Cast: Glenville High School graduate of Class of January, ’22. Graduate: Such weather! It’s not fit tor a dog to he out. Wish there were some sort of a spread tonight. Guess not, though, they never have ’em when a feller needs one. Freshmen are always out of luck, even in high school. That reminds me; I wonder what was going on at this time when I was a freshman at Glenville? Where’s my diary? (Goes to desk, pets diary, and, seating himself in a comfortable chair before the fire, begins to read.) February 11, 1918. A new period in my life began today. It was my first day at Glenville High School. Those awful pupils of the higher grades look at our bunch with plain contempt and scorn and called us “flats.” The halls were all crowded and we were pushed and bumped around all the time. Wish I were back in Junior High. March 1, 1918. 1 have learned to find my way about the school now without asking and am much better acquainted with my teachers. I think I’m going to like it here. My nose is ail raw from pushing pennies across the auditorium stage with it. Those seniors made me do it and thought it was awfully funny. I was never so scared in all my life. March 7, 1918. This morning we found Chinese writing on the blackboards in all our class rooms. A kind senior told us that it spelled “Thrift Stamps” and was put there by one of the clubs that studied Chinese Laundry Accountancy. March 12,1918. No Easter vacation! “Somebody is always taking the joy out of life!” March 17, 1918. St. Patrick’s Day. Hoorah, snakes! April 4, 1918. The Dramatic Club gave a play called “Mrs. Gorringe’s Necklace.” This is the first play I have seen at Glenville, and it was a dandy. 'Those actors must have a lot of nerve to get up in front of everybody like that. I couldn’t do it, I know. April 24, 1918. No excitement today except for a little while when the doctor looked at our “patties” to see if we had measles or scarlet fever. Gee, I’m glad mine were clean! May 14, 1918. All my Reflectors so far have been great. 'There was a poem in the last one that certainly was swell. All about “heatless, meatless and treatless” days. June 14, 1918. School’s out! Me for a job! September 9, 1918. Back to school. Still a “freshic,” but now I’m not scared to death. New teachers and military training, something else to make life miserable. October 1, 1918. First day of military training with the new olive-drab uniforms. Don’t they feel fine? They do not! October 14, 1918. No more school after today until further notice on account of the “flu” epidemic. It won’t be so grand, though, because all the theatres and everything will be closed. “It never rains but it pours.” November 11, 1918. Armistice Day! War’s over! Hurray! “Ain’t it a grand and glorious feeling?” Now for some real eats! No more substitutes for me. November 18, 1918. Back to school! Vacation's over and I wasn’t sick at all.

Good music; let’s have some more. January 28, 1919. Hereafter our halls are to be patrolled by military police. No more loitering or ‘‘locker loafing” allowed. Now we know how a spy feels in enemy territory. January 30, 1919. The senior class gave a one-act play written by Miss Kelly, the oratory teacher and dramatic coach. It was clever and well written. Will I ever be one of those celestial seniors? February 12, 1919. Last day of school this term! Incidentally Lincoln’s birthday. February 19, 1919. We’re sophomores now. Gee, but those new “flats” look “dumb.” I’ll bet didn’t look that way when I first came here. February 22, 1919. Washington’s birthday; no school. It was a good show. March 14. 1919.

The French classes gave a play today. We were told that it was the first one of its kind to be given in a Cleveland school. The French teachers enjoyed it very much. June 20, 1919. Hurrah! No more school until September. Are we downhearted? No!! September 8, 1919. “Hail! Hail! The Gang’s All Here!” Look at the flats, aren’t they cute? Old friends and old teachers back together again. Now for the grind! October 16, 1919. Sophomores beat the “flats” in football 6 to 0. Hurrah for our side! Everybody is taxed 25c for library fund. We thought the war was over. • October 24, 1919.

February 25, 1920. 'The girls were entertained by a very interesting speaker, Miss Pennell of Kansas City, who related a few of her experiences in teaching and told a few of the necessary requirements for teachers. The boys enjoyed the long study period very much. February 26, 1920. Many of our classmates have been receiving invitations to join clubs. We’re getting famous at last. March 12, 1920. An entertainment was given today by Mr. Guy Lindsley of the Robert Mantell Company, Shakespearian actors. His subject was, “How and How Not to Speak English.” The speech was very interesting and instructive to all prospective actors. “Quick, Shylock, the needle!” March 26, 1920. The Garcian Club was founded by several senior girls. Some of our junior girls have become members. More fame for us! April 23, 1920. Another rhetorical.

The Glee Club gave a minstrel show today during the lunch period. Keith’s Hipp has nothing on us. April 30, 1920. Athletic Association Party. Some mob.

The football fellows are out for practice already. Here goes for a successful season. October 1, 1920. We’ve got a weekly paper this year; costs 4c and is called “Home Brew.” I hope it will be as snappy as the name sounds. October 5, 1920. Indoor Picnic! The teachers held their annual picnic today. A secret leaked out—Mr. Towne broke some dishes while trying to “help.” We know now that he isn’t used to such labor. October 15, 1920. T here was a dandy Frenchman at school today. He is a member of the embassy at Washington and spoke to the seniors and visited some of the French classes. When he came into our class we had to be on good behavior.

Mr. Skeyhill, an Australian poet, entertained us today with a very interesting talk on historic and modern war poetry. He seemed to have a great fondness for Alan Seegcr and Rupert Brooke. Of the two, I think Rupert Brooke is the best. Come again, old scout, the “guhls” will love to have you. November 11, 1920. Armistice Day. We had an assembly and sang a bunch of patriotic songs. Commander Havens of the American Legion and Col. C. C. Chambers spoke to us and the latter mentioned Glenville Gold Star men. Our R. O. T. C. officers were on the stage in uniform. Don’t I like me? November 24, 1920. Thanksgiving Day program. The tableaux surely were beautiful and looked like real pictures. Several seniors were speakers and told stories of the Puritans.

T he Bolshevik make-up surely was becoming! May 13, 19j?l. Another big Friday! Athletic Association Party.

Miss Gleason, Miss McIntyre, Miss T errell and Mr. Hazel were along and joined in the fun. Weiner sandwiches and roasted marshmallows were the order of the day. Gosh, but I had a great time and I guess none felt like going home, but there was school next day and home work to prepare, so we came home. Let’s have some more. September 29, 1921.

Harper Raymond Knerr [39] Commencement Magazine The Glenville Compendium Vol. bxa Havana, February 30. 19-10 No. 6% TOPICS OF THE DAY THE PRESIDENT’S CONFERENCE In the face of heavy opposition and with a determined effort to rid humanity of a greater curse than prohibition. President Herbert Gathercole has directed Secretary of State Abe to call representatives from all high schools and colleges in the United States to a most important conference: the limitation and suppression of the sale, manufacture and distribution of galoshes. Whether or not this action on the part of the president will result in civilization taking another step toward the millenium, time alone will tell. Already letters are pouring into this office commenting on the question with views of varying approval and disapproval. Camillo Campanello, head coach at Centre College and a delegate to the conference from that institution, writes as follows: “The president’s attitude toward these essentials of modern sport is contrary to the principles which he upheld in his campaign speeches. The use of galoshes by football players in wet and freezing weather has been the basis of my success as a grid coach. No more useful article has been made for man since civilization abolished the corkscrew.” Still further opposition to the coming conference is found in an article written by Mr. Scott Rodgers, chief engineer of rubber construction in the Leapyear plant at Akron, in which he says: “The advance- ment which the manufacture of galoshes has given to the engineering fields through research work alone is sufficient cause for retaining them in popular use.” Professor Leo Schwartz, a recognized authority in all matters relating to mathematics, gives his hearty sanction to this statement. Another attitude is found, however, in th opinions of Bernard Mazurie and Robert Knowles, representatives from Y’assar and Lake Eric colleges, respectively, and distinguished as professors of correct clothing for college children. Both of these men while not strictly opposed to the presidents action, insist on a 3-3-2 buckle standard galosh as compared to the common 2-4-6 type of former years. The heartiest approval which the announcement of the conference has yet made comes from Mr. Kloepfer of the United Tin Products Company and a business man of national prominence. He writes in the “Pedagogues’ Post”: “The suppression of this accursed industry will be of incalculable value to the manufacturers of tin horns and whistles. 'The galosh producers have succeeded in their attempts to gain a monopoly of all the tin produced in this country for use in making buckles with the result that all other makers of articles of this metal have been compelled to raise their prices to an exorbitant level. Children’s toys especially have tripled in value since a year ago. Think of them when you choose your representative to the conference.” “Wrong thinking, whatever its nature, leaves indelible scars on body and mind alike. It affects character and material prospects equally. Every time you grumble and find fault, every time you lose your temper, every time you do a mean, contemptible thing, you suffer a loss than can not be repaired.”—Mar den. [40] Glenville High INSIDE INFORMATION ON THE GREAT “HIGHLY” CASE In the recent case which has been called to the attention of the public, namely, that of Blanche Highly, a rising young lawyer, M iss Rebecca Flock, has risen to promi-inence as attorney for the State. The case presents a question which has long needed a decision, “Should Nurses Wear Caps?” M iss Highly asserts that for her part she refuses to wear one because it is unbecoming to her type of beauty. The State maintains that caps arc a necessity. The jury (all men) have been unable lo come to a decision but the case will be continued on Saturday and it is hoped that this momentous question will be settled for all time. At present public opinion is in favor of the defendant, though the newspapers are divided on the issue. One of the most striking facts of the case is that, upon getting excited, she shocks the judge and the jury by stamping her foot and exclaiming, “Oh, grapes!” This exclamation has roused much discussion in the scientific world. The great psychologist. Marguerite Conroy, has been studying the workings of the mind, of the above mentioned Blanche Highly and by the process of elimination has come to the conclusion that this queer exclamation i a relic of the prc-historic human, when man subsisted on fruits. She says that probably the culprit’s ancestors had a great affinity for this luscious fruit. PROFESSOR MAKES STARTLING DISCOVERY Merle Wagner, professor of dead languages at Harvard University, has discovered through a lengthy study of heiroglyph-ics on the ancient tombstones in Egypt, that the ancients knew the square loot of x2 y2. Her discoveries will be printed in detail in our next issue. Her secretary, Mary Jane De Hart, is keeping her data and cataloging it according to the new system introduced by Olive Gar-inger. This simple method was patterned after that in “The Mill on the Floss,” con- sisting of an outer cabinet where the data is listed according to first lines, giving information as to where to find the subject according to first letter. The second cabinet has a secret drawer where a key is hidden, which opens the cabinet, which contains a plan of the interior of the third cabinet, written in code and giving instructions as to where to find the key to the code. This, upon being deciphered, tells exactly where the article in question is located. This is a valuable system, says Professor Wagner, and saves a great deal of time. I should advise all business men to adopt it. BANKER LEAVES FOR RUSSIA In accordance with the request of the Russian government, received through the Russian Embassy at Washington, D. C., the American Banking Association has sent Miss Eileen Sexton to establish a new bank at Moscow. Sine the failure of the City Bank, due to incompetent management of officials, Moscow has had no bank. Conditions are said to be in an 1919 condition. Miss Sexton has proved her efficiency in this country and the Banking Association feels confident in Miss Sexton’s ability to represent it. Mr. William Donkin, all-star athlete, and manager ns well as owner of the New York Giants, was chosen by that city to present Miss Sexton with a beautiful bouquet of Ophelia roses. The departing ceremony was very impressive and Miss Sexton stood on deck until the crowd on shore could no longer discern her. Among those at the wharf taking leave of Miss Sexton were Miss Dorothy Warner and Miss Florence Ormiston. Miss Warner is National President of the Federal Reserve Banks. She has held office for several years and has established eight new banks in coast cities. Miss Ormiston is M iss Warner’s Private Secretary and is very capable and efficient in that position. “Lose not opportunity for acquirin'! knowledge. Learn as though you would always live, and live as though you might die tomorrow.” Com mencement M agazin e [-hi ANOTHER TRIUMPH FOR DIETICIANS In order to cope with the ever increasing problems brought up by exponents of dieting systems as a means to increase or decrease weight, Secretary of the Interior 'Pill-man has appointed a Committee of Weighs and Leans, with Senator William Webbe as chairman and Alex Dolinskv as his assist- ant. Other members of the group include: Sanford Whitelaw, Head Wcighter; and Joe Van Korngut, a subject for experimentation with foods of every variety, including the famous “57.” Mr. Van Korngut says that his position is a very tasty one, indeed. Alexander Dolinskv has been appointed to write articles for monthly magazines and daily newspapers to give the public the details of all meetings and decisions. FOREIGN COMMENT i_________________________ AMERICAN SAILORS AND CHINESE POLICE Comes word from the United States consul at Haviland, China, that the constant fights between American sailors and the Chinese police have caused a serious shortage of police protection in that country. Mr. Cavano, for he it is who represents us in the Orient, recalls an incident which is typical of those which may be seen almost any day-in the various stores and streets of the city. The consul’s report reads as follows: A sailor, on shore leave for several hours, strolled through one of the numerous five and ten yen stores and, on objecting to the price of a wife, was ordered to leave the establishment. After an exchange of words the police were called and a fight ensued. The twenty or more policemen are doing nicely in the hospital here and the sailor, who gave his name as Sterling Eaglcton when finally arrested by his own shipmates, has been left to ponder upon his hasty action in a prison cell. The gravity of the situation is self-evident. It is up to the United States to protect its sailors in this country.” GREAT HONOR CONFERRED ON AMERICANS Miss Leona Dcincr has gained a unique position as a tiainer of wild animals. Recently she led a hunting expedition into the wild forests of central Arabia. There she trained the polar bear and seal until they ate from her hand. The natives of the place were awed by this creature and soon she was brought before their king. He. too, was so delighted that he conferred upon her the honor of a permanent membership in his favorite order of the Knightesses of the Sacred Hell Rope. Miss Deiner has accepted. KINDERGARTEN WORK IN SPAIN Miss Marion Bonsteel combined her knowledge of the Spanish language with her love for Kindergarten work and is teaching the little ‘espanoles” how to play the American way. At Madrid she is conducting a school for children between four and six years old. She has adopted the native costume and iooks quite charming in her “mantilla.” She is one of those who responded to the call for volunteer teachers for overseas work, two years ago. She teaches the children swimming and American folk-dances. The fox-trot is most popular at present, and it is most quaint and amusing to see the little children moving stiffly through the fantastic steps of this dance to the sound of appropriate music. “When you are inclined to criticize a man for being too aggressive, remember that no one ever worked his way along the path to success at a faster rate than the crowd without bumping into a few people.” —Caxton. [42] Glenville High RUSSIA AND NORWAY The supposedly unimportant quarrel between Russia and Norway at present seems to be turning into a promising war. At the beginning of the fighting a most terrible plague set in at the Norwegian camps. So far, physicians have been unable to cope with the situation or decipher what the cause or nature of the disease is. When the call for nurses was sent abroad a little band of helpers from America responded immediately. Heading the little group was Miss Lcta Stucky, nationally known through her discover)- of the germ which caused the Influenza Epidemic in the World War of 1914, and which has appeared throughout the world in sweeping epidemics until now. Due to her discovery, the last two wars have been carried on without this great obstacle to be overcome. All hearts were overjoyed at the news of her arrival and it is hoped that her success will follow her and that she may be able to find a prevention for the present plague. Accompanying Miss Stucky was Ruth R. Gordon, a prominent trained nurse of Washington, D. C. Miss Gordon was the organizer of the Children’s Health Center in this city and has been devoting her time to the work for the past six years; however, at the request of Miss Stucky, she left her work in charge of Miss Harryette Maske, assistant superintendent of the Center, and went abroad. INDEPENDENCE OF THE PHILIPPINES The Philippines have at last attained their freedom. Much credit is due to the efforts of Roy Gleason, Governor-General, and Elizabeth Eppich, Assistant Governor-General. Roth have struggled untiringly, using every method of argumentation known to prominent American lawyers. Miss Eppich, who was practicing law in New York City until her appointment, has been aided greatly by other prominent and wealthy Americans. Among those heading the list are: Miss Florence Block, United States Senator from Ohio; Miss Sylvia Amster, journalist and lawyer; Mr. Sterling Eagleton, chemist, who discovered the method of obtaining radium very cheaply and economically from coal; Mr. Leo Schwartz, professor of mathematics at Harvard University; and Miss May Rose, treasurer of the Carnegie Steel Plant. All arc expected to remain in the Philippines for a short time, in order to sec and direct the founding of a substantial home-government. SOCIALIST NEWS Miss Anna Auerbach, correspondent for the Vorivartz, a Socialistic paper in Berlin gives her views on the subject of the advantages and disadvantages of having red as the color of the standard of Socialistic Parties. The advantage is that it is pleasing to the human eye, exciting a feeling of patriotism in the hearts of the uncertain. Again red dye is cheap. Expenses of a government should be cut down, says Miss Auerbach. ‘’Why should a government adopt an expensive color for its standard? It is graft when it does so. The money of the public should not be wasted in displaying a brilliant and extravagantly priced yellow. Money should be spent for the uplift of the community by such means as the buying of bombs, fuses, dynamite and other necessities of carrying on a successful government.” She says there are a few disadvantages in adopting this color. That is that red is associated with rep pepper. In lieu of this, Miss Auerbach and her followers arc leading a crusade for the abolition of this obnoxious irritator of the respiratory organs. It should be green or blue, in fact anything but red. The support of this crusade is so strong that it will probably result in extinction of this constituent of “hot to-males.” “The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept. Were toiling upward in the night.” —From The Ladder.” COMMENCEMEXT MAGAZINE [431 LETTERS AND ART REFLECTIONS ON A BOOK The Mirrors of Glenville,” the book which has startled the literary world of today with its striking presentation of facts about our public schools, is a creation of unusual genius and dexterity in the manipulation of words and language. Mr. Alton Ketchum, the author, has for many years been noted in public affairs because of his position as editor-in-chief of the well-known Blooey Bugle.” Ever dominant among the brightest of the reflections seen in the mirror is the record set by the class of January, nineteen twenty-two, for its work in mathematics and chemistry as well as for its overwhelming number of social activities. The reading of such a book will be enjoyed by all those who have not finished the First Reader in grade-school. EDITOR OF PROMINENT MAGAZINE PRESENTS VIEWS 'The editor and sole contributor to the Cubistic Future Journal,” Miss Harriet Vanderlip, has decided to educate the ignorant public and so-called artists, in that which is truly artistic. She says, “My personal view is that true art and true artistic-ability consist in being able to so distort the subject as to make it impossible for the ‘common rabble’ to discern the artists’ idea, in this manner the high and sacred ideals of the artistic soul are kept from being contaminated by being passed from mouth to mouth in unappreciative criticism.” The manager of the “Cubistic Jokes” of the above magazine, Miss Marion Harper, concurs with Miss Vanderlip’s views and carries the same ideas into her department, making the jokes so incomprehensible that no one can understand them. WILL JAZZ LOSE PLACE TO WARBLING? Among the season’s most popular concerts and one which has delighted all music lovers of the country is that given by the Warblers’ Quartet of Punxatawney. After many years of training among the mountains of Switzerland, these now world-famous musicians have returned to their native soil to render untold harmony to the jazz-tired ears of their countrymen. 'The quartet is composed of Mr. William Donkin, Head Wobble; Mr. George Berneike, 'Longue Wabble, and Misters Edward Johnson and Warren Sanker, Side Gargles. This combination, which makes a specialty of music for the now popular square dances, will perform for the leading dancing academics of the nation and have already been the means of establishing a School of Warbling and Wobble Dancing at New Berea. That this style of music will rapidly replace the now-prevalent jazz type is the opinion expressed bv Mr. Donkin in an after-breakfast speech in Paincsville. GREAT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA VISITS CITY The city is to be honored by a visit of Painesville Symphony Orchestra. Everyone is all excited and the sale of tickets is booming. The bill-boards are a riot of color. Elinor Stendel is shown in a Paderewski pose smiling amicably upon the onlookers. Ruth Bowen is pictured with cheeks distended, vigorously puffing at a cornet. That wizard of the trombone, Edith Kalis, will appear for the first time in public, to sing one of her own songs, entitled “The Charge of the City Printer.” This song will be on sale at the music stores next year. Copies will be reserved for those who send in their orders early. Glenville High r-u] NEW OPERA COMPANY Miss Mabclle Kendis and Miss Edith Lewin have gone into partnership and formed an opera company. They expect to tour the Great Lakes, singing as they go. Crowds have heard them sing at the theatre at Bedford and their success was given bv the editor ot the Bedford Daily, M iss Fannie Thorne. A brief extract is as follows: “The theatre was decorated with Lilies of the Valley and Poinsettas. The orchestra seats were a verdant green, being covered with Poison Ivy and Canadian Thistles. The lights were a delicate shade of black which gave a soft tone to the stage and decorations. The first song rendered was a duet by Miss Kendis, entitled ‘Icepicks.’ “Other members followed in quick succession, and were greatly enjoyed by the audience. The programs were Nile green with bows of crimson ribbon, picoted edged.” BROADWAY LOSES ARTIST The most prominent studio on Broadway has now been closed. All the younger artists were bemoaning this fact today as Miss Alice Meade, having revised her plans for the coming year, closed the doors of the most popular, most artistic and magnificent studio in New York at the present time. In view of the change Miss Meade remarked: “I came to New York just two years ago in order to further my education in art and particularly to study painting. Thinking I needed more pleasant surroundings to further my work I opened this studio but, as you see from these surroundings, my work has now been completed along this line. It is my idea to retire now to the peaceful quietude of my country home on the Hudson.” Although the art circle feels Miss Meade’s departure very much, still they feel that she is not lost to them altogether, as her cover designs wili be a constant source of reminder. Miss Meade also announced that the model for hei designs, Miss Ma- belle Sinek, is now on her way from Cleveland, Ohio. Miss Sinek is a decided blonde with large blue eyes and is a very promising subject for the work. SCHOOL OPENED Miss Gertrude Mahoney has established a school for girls and young women. One of the requirements for entrance is that the applicant shall have light hair. Samples of the shades preferred are listed in the office of the school. Many of that unlucky class who have raven locks have resorted to means of obtaining the desired shade by aid of H._, 02. Other methods have been tried with diverse results. Popularity is assured to the one who knows a means of extracting color from dark locks to obtain an acceptable fairness. Miss Mahoney has decided views as to the studies tc be pursued by the adolescent minds. Algebra, History, Civics, Geometry, Latin, English, Chemistry, Physics, Economics and Biology are taboo. In fact, any subject which demands application of mental power is to be out of th curriculum. VIRTUE REWARDED Miss Cleah Sheehan, B. M., has at last completed her course in World History of 1914-1922. She finished her course last Sunday, and now, after eighteen years of conscientious study, the Board of Education of this city considers her eligible and competent to teach solid geometry in the third grade. Miss Sheehan has, for the last few years, been petitioning the Director of Public Service, Dorris Fox, to use her influence, as supervisor of the Street Cleaning Department, to secure an appropriation to build ar. annex to the Warrensville Infirmary; for the purpose of sheltering nervous teachers who are considered unsafe, among those whose names were enrolled even before the building was proposed are Misses Dorothy Baumgarth, Josephine Bersch, Margaret Coleman, Mar� on Freeman, Eleanor Cohen and Bc: sie Lifshitz. Commencement Magazine [45] SCIENCE AND INVENTION DO INVENTIONS PAY? “When shall we three meet again?” Such were the words of Raymond Knerr, an improvcrished inventor, as he handed his last pair of woolen socks to a Cleveland pawnbroker one dismal morning a few weeks ago. Today Mr. Knerr is a thriving business man whose factory nets him a return of over three millions of dollars yearly. The phenomenal success of a man who but a few days since was one of the poorest of the poor is due to his contribution to civilization of a non-refillable hand embroidered steam shovel for jewelers, this and the prominence given him through his financier and advertising manager. Mr. Glenn Royer. The latter, an expert in this line, received his early experience in his specialty while a senior at Glenville High School in Cleveland, Ohio. Thus we may see how humanity recognizes and honors those who contribute to its advancement. In the words of Sidney Grundstein, poet laureate of Greenland, we may say: “Honor to him who to us has given Something else to make life worth livin’. Do not worry. Do not fret, You may do something useful yet.” GREAT ADVANCEMENT IN WORLD OF SCIENCE The public at large will be glad to hear that at last science has discovered a means of awakening heavy sleepers. Professor Clara Bakaites, professor of Civics at Adel-bert College, has long been trying to perfect the invention. This wonder was first presented to the public at the World’s Exposition at Berea. Scientists from far and wide came to view the marvelous contraption. It required five freight cars to carry all the appurtenances of the complicated mechanism. One of those who assisted the inventor was Gertrude Fairchilds. She had been questioned by her friends about the invention, but she has been so close and mysterious that none could get the slightest inkling as to what was going on in the Professor’s garage. However, now that it is out. we feel we ought to compliment Miss Fairchild on the part she took in the completion of the “Sleep Disturbei.” Great care was taken to guard the invention until the patent could be secured and recorded. Professor Bakaites’ fortune is assured, her friends arc flocking to her and showering praises on her head. Midst it all she is modest and retiring. CONVENTIONS AT HOTEL OREGON Dressmakers and Designers Convention The meeting of Dressmakers and Designers from all over the United States is being held at New York this week. The opening day of the convention so many questions were brought up for discussion that the leaders fear one week will hardly find them all settled. Perhaps one of the most important questions to be brought up at the beginning is that concerning the length of skirts for the coming Fall-Winter season. Since the very extreme styles of nineteen twenty-one. the Association has found it almost impossible to set any standard length. Miss Helen B. Frankel and Katherine Guerra are attending the convention in hopes of bringing the latest news to Cleveland’s “younger set” who are anxiously awaiting their return. Miss Julia Stahlbcrger, prominent Designer and Milliner, also from Cleveland, has been elected on the committee to choose the dominant and most tasteful color for next season. There is no doubt but what this convention has aroused more interest among the people this year than ever before. Possibly this may be ac- [46] Glenville High counted for by the fact that a National Beauty Contest was held three months ago to select the models from each city for this occasion. Cleveland must have an oversupply of beautiful girls, since the judges in the contest decided it would be necessary to select three girls from this city. The three lucky ones were Thelma Newcomer. LaVerne Mosely and Marjorie Dunmore, all of whom ought to be able to display the gowns to good advantage. AMAZING INVENTION Mr. John Senger has perfected his invention at last. 'The public was unaware of the great discovery which has been pending. Up to this time Mr. Senger has been employed by the Ford Automobile Company. It was in this position that the need of such an invention became evident to him. After much study he has discovered what makes the queer rattling noise in this make of car. He sounded every part of the machine and has found that it comes from the tool-chest. He advocates that each separate tool be wrapped in corrugated cotton. This startling discovery will greatly increase the demand for corrugated cotton; there will probably be a run on the manufacturers of this staple. Mr. Senger has warned manufacturing establishments and it is said that several hundred thousand acres more will be devoted to the raising of the raw material. RELIGION AND SOCIAL SERVICE MISSIONS “Send us help, both in person and in money.” This cry is brought back to us from far off corners of the Caribbean Sea by Miss Katherine Knapp and Miss Bertelle Clark, the two representatives of the American Welfare and Missionary Association, who returned to America today. Miss Knapp and Miss Clark, well known for the welfare work they have been carrying on in Cleveland, made this trip through foreign mission fields to discover just where the most help was needed along this line. One of the most interesting pictures thus fai represented was the one drawn by Miss Knapp in her speech last night before a large audience in the Cleveland Public Auditorium. She spoke as follows: “Place yourself in that far away country; the burning tropical sun beating down upon the hot, dusty road that winds in and out among the bush, along the sea. It reflects, mirror-like, those burning rays on veur face, as weary and sick from heat you travel on, mile after mile, on horseback, or in a wreck of a carriage. At night you find yourself seeking a much needed night’s rest in a mosquito-infested negro cabin in the bush. Suffering from headaches, unaccustomed to the diet of dried codfish, bread and coffee, unused to the strain of such travel, we find this little band of missionaries headed by one of our own Cleveland girls, Miss Georgia Johnston. Day by day her whole-hearted work is being carried on. She has not seen home or friends for some time past and what a welcome we received! We found her just as she was completing her mission at that particular station. As evening drew near and the golden sun was setting over the sparkling waters of the sea she drew her little charges about her on the banks. Queer little figures they were, with their shiny black faces, long rape-like black hair, all sitting cross-legged in a circle gazing with rapturous adoration at their leader. She showed us what she had accomplished in the few months she had been at this station. Questions were asked and the little figures popped up and answered with such marked politeness and surprising rapidity that we were aghast. They knew the Bible now, dear little chaps. If only these missionaries were numerous enough to spread everywhere with their good work.” Com mencement Magazine [47] COMMUNITY CLUBS UP-TO-DATE A new policy of entertainment has lately been initiated by the “Curly” Iden Community Club of Coledonia. Instead of maintaining the old custom of “Come and bring your own girl,” this organization has established a totally different and more nearly modern theory of “Leave your girl at home and go with somebody else’s girl.” The unusual success of this plan is evident from the report of attendance records which show an increase of from 25 to 300 couples in one night. Mr. Iden, a well experienced man in all affairs concerning women, receives all congratulations of his system with that smile of human understanding which marks the features of all those disappointed in love. SPORTS AND ATHLETICS SKILL AND SCRATCHES Championships must inevitably change hands from time to time. Thus it is that the last week has seen the crown of the world billiard championship change from the head of Mr. Richard Klein to the shining cranium of Kid Kadow, the wizard of modern table croquet. Klein’s defeat comes as a result of an overbearing sclf-conhdence which caused several costly misplays, while Kadow surprised the audience by his remarkable calmness as he clicked off the points with as much ease as if he were borrowing theme paper in his high school days. Smiling in face of defeat, Dick Klein commented on his ill fortune in the following words: “I can see now the advantage of having a better knowledge of ‘English.’ I owe my defeat tonight to an insufficient amount of this most valuable asset.” Kadow’s change of attitude after his victory, however, has lowered his reputation among billiard fans throughout the country. The cause of this dislike is based on his action in refusing to treat the crowd to ice cream and cake as is the custom at an affair of this sort. As an explanation of his procedure Kadow says: “I detest the silly action, which you demand, as being of the superlative degree of foolishness. Have you not heard, my friends, that: ‘To the Victor belongs the most talking-machine patents’?” Judge for yourself, friend reader, the relative merits of these two superlatives of this sport. AMERICAN WOMEN AT OLYMPIAN CONTEST Miss Eleanor Bradley, former head of the American College of Physical Education, made a new record for the women’s high jump. Miss Bradley’s record is six feet five inches. M iss Emiah Hopkins, physical director at the College of Physical Education, took first place in the hop, skip and jump contest. Miss Molly Goldstein, assistant director to M iss Hopkins, established a new record for the pole vault at 12 feet inches. Miss Alleen Good, president of the National Y. M. C. A., took first place in long distance swimming. Miss Janet Frederick took second place in high diving stunts. Miss Frederick holds high honors won in the tennis tournament. Miss Clara Arnold won first place in the Marathon race. Miss Evelyn Buck won distinction bv throwing the javelin sixty-nine metres. “Never think of yourself as the victim of circumstances. To do so is to make yourself the victim of even- adversity you may encounter. Know that you have the power to change circumstances. Exercise that power and soon things will begin to change for the better.”—Efficiency. R81 Glenville High PERSONAL GLIMPSES A most interesting fact was discovered yesterday by Miss Frieda Grossman, reporter for the News, who has been spending some time in research work on home industries. In going down the list she came across the name of the Printz-Beyer Cloak Suit Co. In this research it was discovered that here in the second largest city of the United States, was a corporation thriving and doing a great business without masculine aid. Miss Grossman, as per appointment, was ushered into the private office of Miss Edythe Beyer, president of the firm. Here she learned of some of the great things the organization has carried on without the aid of the stronger (?) sex even for the financial side of things. Miss Beyer told of the great field covered by this corporation; how their orders come in from all parts of the country for cloaks of every description. Even then, lying on the desk before her, were two letters which she handed the reporter to read. One was from Miss Jean Du Bois (known in private as Lillian Ungerwho was asking for several elaborate gowns to be used in her next picture, Tragedies of Monte Carlo,” written by Blanche Schandler. This is the first of Miss Schandler’s books to be dramatized. It is even hoped that in the near future some of her well-known poems may be used for this purpose. The second letter was also a plea for stage gowns, but it came from a still greater distance. The letter bore the postmark Dublin, Ireland. Much to the surprise of the reporter it was from Miss Alice Brennan, who left America three years ago, after a successful start with Miss Du Bois in California. Her purpose in making this change is to modernize the motion picture in her own country . It being very difficult to get the right kind of costumes and make the designers see what is wanted Miss Brennan has been sending to this firm for costumes for some time. Miss Brennan also took a Cleveland girl with her to help her start the great work. She is Miss Grace Lud-wick, who will have full chaige of the art work in the company and take leading parts in many pictures until a leading lady has been picked. Miss Brennan ciaims it will not be long before her stars will be coming to America to outshine many of ours and that keen competition will be felt in the near future.

Madge was out of her chair with a bound and before her cousin, Clara Cummins, fully realized the meaning of the words, she was back in the room with a box held ‘‘proudly” in her hands. “Do hurry and unwrap it, Madge. Oh, I’m just wild to sec it!” exclaimed Clara, clapping her hands. But really, there was no need of urging, as Madge was already unwinding yard after yard of string. Finally the last strand gave way. “Oh, Madge! How beautiful,” cried Clara, for there, within the box, lay a veritable creation of shimmering chiffon and tiny silken rosebuds of the palest of pink. “Oh, it’s simply gorgeous,” sighed Clara again. “Oh, Madge, I am so anxious for my trunk to come. I wonder what you will think of my dress.” “It is lovely, isn’t it, Clara? said Madge rapturously. “And I am sure your dress must be adorable. Ah, there goes the dinner bell, and we must hum. As soon as dinner is over we will have to dress for the dance. I am sure your trunk will be here by then, Clara,” she added, linking her hand lovingly through her cousin’s arm and leading her to the stair. She could see that Clara was worried, and secretly she was a bit anxious herself. Clara did not have many good times, they had been planning on this for so long, and now if her dress didn’t come—Oh, how dreadful! Consequently, that evening at dinner, there were two rather gloomy young faces. So much so, that Mother and Father wondered why. Just as they were finishing their supper the doorbell rang. The girls jumped up with joyful cries, and raced for the door. There stood the expressman and at his side a big trunk. “Oh, I’m so glad,” said Madge. Clara ran lightly up the stairs to lead the way into the bright, pretty guest-room that was hers for two whole weeks. The expressman followed with the trunk, set it down and went his way, well satisfied with the tip Father had given him. But the girls had eyes for nothing but the trunk. Clara was turning the key in the lock. Strange to say, it would go only half way round. Finally, though, after much struggling and a great many “Oh’s” and “Ah’s” the lock clicked and the cover flew open. But, horrors! Instead of the girlish frills and laces, there lay a black suit, a pair of size eight patent leather dancing pumps, large linen handkerchiefs, collars, and ties! “Glory, a man’ trunk!” cried Madge, and she couldn’t help laughing as she saw her cousin’s woe-begone face. “Oh, Madge, how horrid of you,” wailed Clara, nearly in tears. What will I do now? Oh, my beautiful dress!” By this time she was crying so that Madge became sober at once. “Why, Clara, dear, don’t cry. We’ll find your trunk, or, if wc can’t, you’ll have to wear one of my dresses.” All the time she was saying this, Madge knew in her heart that the trunk would never be found in time, and she was racking her brains to think of some sort of a dress for Clara to wear. 'There was her last year’s blue silk party dress. It was very pretty, but, Oh, it would never do: Clara was so dreadfully dark. No, there was only one thing to do—Clara simply must wear the beautiful new pink dress. She would look lovely in it, and Madge could wear the blue one, no one at school had ever seen it. The boys would never know. It took a great deal of pleading to make Clara agree. She would not wear that lovely dress the first time. She would wear the blue one; what if it did make her look [52] Glenville High like a gypsy? But Madge was firm and when Clara saw that her cousin really desired it, she yielded, although she said she felt like a thief. At last they were ready, a little late, it must be admitted, looking like two fresh flowers: Clara like a rose, in the lovely pink frock, and Madge like a lovely bluebell or forget-me-not, her eyes shining and her light hair forming a beautiful halo around her head. They were ready, and waiting for the boys. Down the street, there had been a great to-do! Jimmy Barker’s trunk had arrived at the last minute—but it was not Jimmy’s! “Gee-rusalum,” shouted his friend in great glee. “Oh, Jim, when did it happen? Who is she?” “You shut up, Walter Weston, or else I’ll forget that I am your guest!” flung out Jimmy angrily, although in truth he was more disappointed than angry. Just to think of that stunning black suit, those spiffy patent leather pumps (brand new ones, too), and that peachy new silk shirt! It was enough to make anybody roar! And so he pounded up and down the room praising (?) the expressman and everybody in the town in general, while Walter discreetly held his peace. “Well, you’ll just simply have to go without me, he said, finally coming to a sudden halt, squarely in front of his friend. I haven't a single dud to wear, unless I wear some of these,” pointing in disgust to the pile of fluffy, lacy things in the top of the trunk. “Forget it, old man,” exclaimed Walter slapping him on the shoulder. “It was only a mistake, a darn fine one, I’d say, but yelling about it won’t help any now. While you’ve been panting around I’ve been applying my brain matter to the case in hand with much better results.” He ended very oratorically, with an “I-thank-you-ladies-and-gentlemen” bow. “Say on, then, Socrates,” quoted Jimmy coming out of his ill humor suddenly as he had a habit of doing. “You see it’s like this—” “Oh, can that stuff,” interrupted Jim; “tell me your plan, if you have any and let it go at that.” “Well, the only thing to do, Jim, is for you to wear my new suit.” “I won’t do it.” “But you’ll have to or else wear some of those,” dramatically indicating the trunk and its contents. “I’m sure that my old suit would very much object to being inhabited by other than myself, and no one knows what might happen if it objected too much! It might be direful. You’ll have to do as I say, Jim.” For some reason or other, college men have always been considered rather speedy in the making of new friendships, especially so if the new acquaintances are girls. Jimmy was quite willing to live up to that reputation when he saw how Madge and Walter were getting along. It was not such a very long walk home, but still there was time for quite a bit of conversation. They had been chatting on nearly every conceivable subject (with the possible exception of the weather), when suddenly Jim turned to Clara, walking so demurely by his side. “Gee, that’s a peach of a dress you're wearing.” “Oh, Jimmy, it is lovely, isn’t it? But it isn’t mine. Do you know, Jimmy, it was the funniest thing—they didn’t bring my trunk until the last minute—” “It was mine,” shouted Jimmy, and he started to laugh. “But, Jimmy, how did you know?” “Why, because—oh Gee that’s rich! I got yours!” and he burst into another roar, in which Clara joined. Then Madge and Walter ran up and wanted to know what it was all about. And the two told them rather guiltily about it. Before the visit was over several things had happened, or were about to happen. Walter was amazed when Jimmy casually inquired who the best jeweler in town was. (Continued on page 7.V) Commencement Magazine [53 J Disadvantage of Possessing a Common Name Alice E. Brennan “VVhat shall we name him?” Grandma says Ezekial or Peter after his Grandad. Aunt Martha, age forty, suggests Martin or Robert. Young Cousin Mary, hating the commonness of her own name, thinks Gerald or Malcolm would suit the writhing child. Cousin Charles, from college, feeling that he was deprived of a dactyl spondee, insists that Science shall have her swing, and so announces the nameless as Emory. Sister Elinor, in a loud voice to be heard above the tumult, cries for the name, Wallace, after her hero of the cinema. All this was to no avail for the young child was named John Watson. John! It was his father’s name, in fact, the name of all ages. Of course, it was a fair compromise. The child could not have been named Peter for then his inheritance to the amount of Aunt Martha’s estate would be cut off. After this trying ordeal, his mother felt better and John Jr. seemed happy, so why worry? But poor John was in for it with his common name. In kindergarten he was called “Johnnie,” as were two other little boys, and here is where the trouble began. When the teacher called, “Johnnie, you stop that,” he quaked with fear, uselessly, of course, for she meant one of the other “Johnnies.” When she looked through the artistic productions of the class and said, “Johnnie’s sunset is very beautiful,” “Johnnie” felt his heart beat faster. But when she added, “I mean Johnnie Jones,” poor “Johnnie” wanted to cry. And so it was, time and time again. When he reached grammar school, things were made easier; he could now protect himself and therefore the name “Johnnie was replaced by that of John. It was more sedate and dignified and more to his liking, but still caused the old trouble. It was a good enough name when there was no other John around, but when two Johns were in the same class it proved undesirable. Not only in school did the name bother him, but on the street also. When he heard, “Hi, there, John,” he turned abruptly to sec a man greeting another John. Even in Church it annoyed him, for when he dozed in his pew, he was quickly awakened and almost shouted, “Sir?” when the minister said as the climax of his sermon. “And John was not afraid.” And so it was through his whole life, even when John became Jack, the bachelor. He was forever coming in contact with the undesirable name, John, and answering to every beck and call accompanied by that name. “Just We, Oui” Elizabeth Eppich We, ourselves, and us, The three of us together Are going to make an awful fuss About the 12A’s merry weather.

Ad infinitum [54] Glenville High Jr'', Commencement Magazine [55] The Boy Ruth Bowen ONE of the most beautiful stories I have ever heard was told to me the other day as I was casting about for an inspiration. I had intended a short story, but when I heard this I decided that I could never do better than repeat, as it was told to me, the life story of one of our most famous artists. He wasn’t a poor boy, as was Abraham Lincoln, with great ambitions. He was wealthy, and without ambition. He was a club-foot, and his nature was as wizened and contorted as his twisted foot; and b?-cause of the love that he had never had. he believed the world was void of it. He was offered education, pleasure and all the advantages money could give, but he was denied the one thing he most needed, the thing any boy needs—love. His mother was too busy keeping up h r social status, and lolling within the circle of the exclusive set, to really care for him. She sent him to school, and he refused to learn. She hired a tutor, who refused, finally, to teach his sullen, unwilling pupil. She offered him everything but a mother’s love and companionship. At last, weaning of her unsuccessful efforts, she decided to send him to a reform school. And the next day she took him to the museum where her brother, whom she intended to ask for help on the proceedings, was working at the time. As she explained the case, and poured out her troubles and woes, an old, white-haired gentleman standing nearby watched the trio with increasing interest. He studied the sullen, hopeless expression of the boy’s face, his poor, twisted feet, and the contractingly strong, shapely hands. He studied the woman’s fretful, society bred face, her artificial, high, nervous voice, and wondered—. When the woman had finished her story of woe, the old gentleman came up to her, and introduced himself courteously. “Madam,” he said, “I have overheard your conversation about your boy. You evidently don’t care for him. I am an old man; I’ve been happy in my own way; I’ve a wife and one dear daughter, but I've never had a son. Your boy appeals to me. WTould you be willing to let me adopt him? He would be in far better hands than in a reformatory.” With a surprised gesture, the woman turned. “You want that boy,” she said, “when there are so many others to choose from? God knows you can have him. I’m tired to death of trying to do anything with him. 'Lake him, and welcome.” 'Fuming to the boy the man held out his hand. “Will you come with me?’’ he asked. Unsmiling, indifferent, the boy shrugged his shoulders. “Might as well, only you’ll probably feel sorry after while,” he said bitterly. “I’ll risk it,” said the Man. And so the compact was closed, and the Boy entered into his new life. The Man was kind, but his kindness was met with indifference; he was patient, and his patience was met with cynicism. He commanded and he was obeyed explicitly but with the same indifference. He showed him everything a boy could be expected to like. He rode, hunted, and played with him, but all to no avail. The Man could not seem to get across the wide gulf that the Boy had made between himself and the world. But the Man reasoned that there was some way in which the boy’s soul could be reached, through the heavy pall of depression, and so he did not give up. One day while the Boy was at the Man’s office, the little office boy came into the room. He was a bright-faced little chap, and cheerful, but he was accorded only a pac ing glance by the other boy. The Man had been teaching this young lad to draw, because of the interest that he [56] Glenville High evinced. On this day, he gave the lad a picture to copy, and seated him beside the Boy, in one of his untiring efforts to find that which he sought. As the small lad worked, the Boy, with unwonted interest watched over his shoulder, and gradually the mask of indifference dropped, and the Boy’s soul, the part that had not been warped, and embittered, shone through his eyes. At last, when the lad had finished his task, the Boy looked up, the light still upon his face. “Give me a paper and pencil,” he said abruptly. “I can beat him all to pieces.” With inward thanksgiving the Man watched the quick, sure fingers of the Boy, as they gripped the pencil. When he had finished his sketch the Man knew he had “found” the Boy. The sketch was the best he had ever seen. And so the Boy’s life really began there. The Man, loving the Boy always, with that same patient love, soon pushed beyond his cold barriers, and won the love of the strange heart. He gave him training in painting, and drawing, and he found him eager, interested, acquiescent in any of its phases. The change was slow but nevertheless evident. Today the Boy with the twisted feet that caused him so much pain and embarrassment, the Boy whose sensitive nature was warped and wizened by a lack of love and companionship in friends and mother, is one of the best beloved men of our country. His work is world-famous. And today that bond of love and friendship remains strong as steel between foster-father and son. Its strands will hold through life eternal. This is only one of those beautiful stories that just happens to be true. The Voice Leta Stucky The setting sun lit up the purple West, A goodly score of ships at anchor lay Waiting for the shades of night to press, On day. A light wind stirred the surface of the lake, The water gave a gentle murmuring sound, And tuneful bits of music seemed to make Around. Out on the azure depths I fixed my gaze, And there, in just the range for eye to see. A lighthouse stretched out through the purple haze To me. Then soft it fell, the voice, upon my ear, With eager eyes I searched the lake and shore, The breathing of the water could I hear, No more. Enveloped round about with unseen power, An ardent soul, why should one deem it odd ? Who could have spok’n to me that sunset hour Save God? COMMENCED!EXT MAGAZIXE [57] A Night In the Woods Sylvia A raster Act. I. Scene—A Forest. Just above the horizon gray-black clouds scurry across the sky. Evidences of a coming storm are apparent. Upon a brown half-rotten tree stump in the foreground a boy of seventeen years of age is seated. Across his knees is seen a long hunting rifle. His position is evidently one of despondency, with his head down, supported by his hands, and a frown puckering his forehead. At the sound of a whistle he lifts his head hopefully. Another boy of about the same age approaches. Boy on stump (hopefully) : Well, did you see anything, Jules? Jules (despondently) : No, George, not the crack of a rifle. They must have left long ago and not missed us at all. George, we must do something; we can’t sit here all night! Br-r-r, it’s cold (pulling his coat collar closer). Besides, there’s a storm coming and it’ll be miserable in all this wet and cold. George: Yes, 1 know, but have a heart and repeat it, I’m miserable now. (The stage has steadily been growing darker until the two figures can hardly be seen. The peals of thunder become louder and louder.) George (determinedly) : Well, anyhow, let’s walk on farther and perhaps— (Here he stops and with a “Look, Jules!” they both gaze into the distance where a dim light is filtering through the trees. Walking slowly off stage.) George: Can’t turn out any worse than this is, anyhow. So let’s go. (Curtain.) Act. II. Scene—Interior of a Shack. An old man slightly humpbacked, with rumpled gray hair, dressed in dirty brown shirt and ragged trousers, is bent over a piece of wood which he whittles with strong though wrinkled hands. The flashings of the knife which he handles deftly catch the gleam of the large fireplace before which he is seated. The only other furniture of the rude shack is a small table and two other chairs. The pat-pat of steady rain is heard on the roof. A timid knock is heard. The old man, rising slowly, shuffles to the big wooden bolt which he slides back with much creaking. The two boys are seen in the doorway wearing exceedingly wet jackets. Jules: Begging pardon for your trouble, sir, but could you put us up for the night? We’ve become separated from the rest of our hunting party and find it impossible to find our way out of the forest. We shall try to be no trouble. Old Man (mumbling) : Come in. (Jules walks toward fire to dry drenched coat and host relocks door. George sighting frying pan with slices of bacon on coals.) George (in an undertone): Jules, ask him if he will sell us a bite for supper; I’m starved! Jules (reluctantly): My friend and I have a little money with us and would be glad to pay for a little food, as we have had nothing since morning. (The old man shuffles to a darker corner of the room where a short wooden ladder is visible. The boys stand back amazed while their host climbs the ladder and disappears through a small trap door in ceiling.) George (after a low whistle of amazement) : Well, what do you know about that, now! From the looks of the place I thought this was a one-room shack. Jules: You know in an out-of-the-way nlace like this people must have a storeroom for their meats and other rations. But what do you think of our host? George (with a slight shudder): Ugh! I don’t like him at all! Do you realize he’s only said two words since we’ve been in here? And did you notice how queerly he [58] Glenville High looked at you when you told him we had some money with us? Jules (with bravado) : Pooh-pooh! Pure imagination, that’s all. George (positively): Think so? Then why did he bolt the door again ? There’s nothing really dangerous around these parts and did you—but, sh-h-h. (Creaks are heard.) (The old man descends the ladder with a small piece of bacon in one hand. Takes a large felt bag, divided into sections, from table drawer which he lays before fireplace. The light of the logs is thrown on display of a dozen or SO knives in the bag. all brightly polished.) George (in a whisper) : What do you suppose an old man like that needs all those splendid knives for, Jules? (The old man motions him to be quiet. The old man now sets the table with cracked chinaware and then sets the pan of fried bacon on the table. The boys seat themselves at table.) George: I hope the rain lets up during the night, because it’ll be pretty uncomfortable traveling through a drenched forest. Jules: Of course, I hope so, too, but the main thing is to get out of all this and get home. You know we’ve been so busy getting shelter that I forgot all about Mother, whatever will she think happened to me! And your Mother, too! George: I’m not so worried about that. You see, I told Mother that if I didn’t come home last night she’d know I’d slept over to your house. (Both boys by this time have finished eating. Their host taking a bit of candle from his pocket, beckons them with his hand and starts up the ladder.) George (in a whisper): Shall we go up there? I—I— Jules (firmly): Sure, come on! (All three disappear through trap door.) (Curtain.) Act. III. Scene—Loft of Log Cabin. The place is very dim, lit only by feeble light of candle held in old man’s hand. The roof is very low and slanting, the walls are of rough logs plastered with mud. Beside the only window of the room is placed a narrow, rickety, iron bed, covered with dirty, ragged blankets. At intervals on the walls are large nails from which chunks of meat hang drying. As the boys walk toward the bed, the old man, raising trapdoor, disappears through it, leaving stage in almost utter darkness. The patter of rain is gradually lessening. George: Br-r-r, it’s cold! (as he bumps into piece of meat hanging in darkness). Ouch! What’s that? Jules: Don’t be silly, it’s only one of those carcasses hanging from those infernal nails in this barn. (Boys are dimly seen divesting themselves of coats and shoes.) George: Well, at least he might have left us the candle for a few minutes. Jules: Be glad he took you in at all. We’d be more miserable out there in that rain. George: Yes, I know, but I don’t like that old man! It’s inhuman not to talk at all! He’s not deaf; he knows everything you said to him, and he’s not dumb. He said, “Come in, when we first knocked. And the thing I can’t forget is that pouch of gloriously kept knives. Jules: Oh, forget it! Come on, let’s get to sleep. I’m tired. Some day, wasn’t it? Do you suppose the rest are worried any ? George: That’s hard to tell; anyhow, it can’t be helped. (Pattering of rain has ceased and both boys lie in absolute quiet for a few seconds. Slowly dim rays of moonlight steal through cross-barred window, making fantastic squares on the Hoor. Creaks arc heard.) George (in a whisper): Jules, someone’s coming up here. Jules: Sh-h-h, be quiet. (In a still lower voice) Look, George, the trap door— (The trap door slowly rises, head and shoulders of their host appear on the ladder: in his hand is held a long, thin, gleaming knife. With slow shuffles he walks in direction of the bed. The moonbeams catch Commencement Magazine [59] the responding glint of the knife blade and Till the room with light. The old man advances slowly until he stands, knife poised above the two boys lying passive. Now the old man, in full illumination of window, reaches up and cuts off a thick slice of ham hanging above the bed and shuffles quietly down through the trap door again. When the trap door drops, both boys raise themselves to a sitting position, giving each other eloquent looks of mingled disgust and relief, lie down again and the gentle breathing of healthy sleep brings the Curtain.)

[60] Glenville High Wishes By Marion B oust eel A Play in One Act Dramatis Personae: An Old Man His Good Wife An Elf Time: The olden time of fairies and witches. Scene: The scene is laid in the forest just outside of a wood-cutter’s cottage. The front of the cottage extends onto the stage at left back, with one door and one window showing. At the right front is a large log with an axe stuck in, in an upright position. About are chips of wood and several stumps of trees. At left front is a large, round table and two chairs made of rustic wood. An old man is seen seated on a log at right front, with his chin in his hands, in a dreamy position. The good wife enters during his first speech and watches him, shaking her head sadly. (Abbreviations used: O. M.—old man: G.—Good wife; E.—elf; V—voice.) O. M.: Aye, ’twould be a fine thing if I should find some gold hidden away in this old stump. Who knows but what I might find enough to make myself a gentleman the rest of my days, wi’ a fine house— and a horse and carriage and, mayhap, fine dresses for the Goodwife. And I should buy myself some clothes like that young lord a-hunting through— G. (impatiently) : Aye, indeed, ’twould be a fine thing if you should git to work and chop up enough wood to bring in some money. Then, maybe, we might have somewhat better to eat than bread and cheese! Aye, now wouldn’t it? (She throws him a scornful look and goes toward the house; spreads a red and white table-cover on the table, then goes into the house. During her words the Old Man gets up and, rubbing his knees stiffly goes over to the log and starts chopping. He sings in a high cracked voice:) O I would marry my bonnic lass If my bonnie lass would have me. O heigh, go east and heigh, go west. If my bonnie lass would have me! And we would live in a castle grand And eat from a golden spoon. O heigh, go east and heigh, go west, If my bonnie lass would have me! And we would have a coach and four And men and lads to drive it. O heigh, go east and heigh, go west If my bonnie lass would have me! (A shrill voice is heard, crying “Hey, there, not so heavy—Stop! Stop!”) O. M.: O! ho! What’s this? V.: Let me out, let me out, I say! What are you doing? Here I am—right under your nose! (O. M. continues to look around wildly.) Say there! Lend a hand! Help me out. (Here a foot is seen sticking out of the log.) Give a pull here. (Sticks out hand, which O. M. pulls at stupidly until he pulls out the elf.) E.: Hey, why didn’t you help a person? If you had been shut up as long as I have you would want to be pulled out. (He straightens out the wrinkles in his suit and brushes bits of wood from his legs. The Old Man continues to gawk.) I’ve been shut up almost a year now, by that wicked Puck. O! when I get him! Away! I go to find him. (He runs lightly across the stage but stops when he sees the table. The Old Man Com mexcem en t Magazine [61] turns and rubs his eyes bewilderedly. E. turns and runs back to center front and bows deeply to the Old Man.) E.: I’m begging your pardon, sir. I’m forgetting my manners. I’d thank 'ee for freeing me, so I’ll give you what you like as a reward, sir. O. M.: What’s that? What do you mean ? E.: I mean, wish what you want to wish, and I’ll grant it if I can. 0. M.: I wish—I wish for—I don’t know what I wish. I’ll call the Goodwife and we’ll wish together. (Starts for door.) E.: No, no—hurry, or I’ll never be able to find Puck. O! hurry! (Glances over his shoulder impatiently toward the forest.) 0. M.: I wish—I wish—Oh, I know! I’ll wish for more wishes! E.: That’s a good bit, so only your next three wishes will come true. Re careful what you wish that you may never regret it. Well! Farewell and good luck. (He waves his hand lightly and runs off through the trees, L.) (The Old Man stares after him a moment, then shaking his head as if in despair, he turns back to his work.) 0. M.: Lor—I must be foolish—I must have been dreaming again. The Goodwife was right; some day everything would go wrong. I wish—! (He clasps his hand over his mouth with a foolish expression.) Perhaps I wasn’t dreaming! (Turns and walks hurriedly toward the door.) I might as well try it. Goodwife! Goodwife, I say! O where is she? (Sticks his head into doorway.) G. (within): And now, what is it? (Sets plate on table.) O. M.: Tell me something to wish! Quickly! and I’ll see if it’s true. G.: And are you crazy entirely? Why should you be wishing? I’m thinking it’s alwrays wishing you are, and never anything else! O. M.: I just set free a wee man from yonder oak tree and he gave me a wish. G.: A wee man! A wish from a wee man—and what were you wishing? Something foolish, no doubt. O. M.: I wished for three more wishes and we’ve got them coming. G.: Well done. Now what shall wc wish for? O. M.: Let’s wish for lots of money and buy something fine to eat. G.: And where would we buy at this hour? Let’s wish for something fine itself, and save the other two wishes ’til later. Wish for some sweet cakes, or—I know— a fine sausage. Aye, that would be nice. O. M.: Ah! a fine sausage! I wish—I wish for a fine sausage. (At his words there is a rustle of leaves above the table and a fine sausage falls onto the plate. The G. and O. M. run over to it with many “Oh’s” and “Ah’s” and “Praise be.” 'File O. M. becomes excited and hops around.) O. M.: I knew it! I knew it! (The G. becomes exasperated.) G.: O! one would think it was you who had thought of the sausage. You? Ha! You would be having fine clothes and houses and nothing to eat. You! If 1 hadn’t charged you, the three wishes would be gone. O. M. (in a high tone): You! You? Whose wishes are they? One would think they were yours because you thought of th? sausage. Aye—the sausage! Well, I wish it were on your nose—O, O, O, O, Oh. G.: O! O! my nose. (As she cries she grabs her nose and lo! the sausage is hanging there.) Look what you’ve done—O. 0,0! It won’t come off—pull—pull— pull harder! O my nose—my poor nose! (She moves up and down the stage, weeping bitterly and trying to pull off the sausage. The O. M. tries to console her.) O. M.: O dear, O dear! 1 knew no good would come of those wishes. I wish— O! how I wish I could be rid of those wishes! G.: O—ooh! My nose! (She pulls her hand down and the sausage comes into her hand. The O. M. runs up to look. They look and feel of her nose in perplexity. The sausage disappears.) [62] Glenville High O. M.: O where is that sausage? What’s happened to it? (Looks around on the ground excitedly.) G.: Why, you wished it away. O. M.: Why, so I did, and now we’ve lost our fine sausage. (Wails.) G.: Aye! We’ve lost our fine sausage but ’twas good riddance. We’re just as we were before; no better; no worse. But beware of the wee men you be seeing in the forest. They might mean bad. (Curtain.) If Boys Talked Like the Girls “Oh, Russ, these pictures are marvelous. They’re awfully cute of you,” exclaimed Curly Iden, viewing at arm’s length a picture of Russell Kadow. “Don’t forget, I get one, dearie.” “Of course, darlinks,” answered Russ, smoothing a stray curl on Wilbert’s head, “even if I have to give you my own. Well, look who’s here!” Approaching, their arms linked, were Chuck Cavano, Bill Donkin and Bobby Knowles and another group of boys swinging their clasped hands to the tune of “All By Myself.” Don’t forget, I get one of those,” called out Chuck. I think they’re perfectly scrumptious.” “O Bobby dear, I have the nicest T. L.’ for you,” exclaimed Bill suddenly, throwing his arms about Bob’s neck and playfully kissing him. “Please tell me, honey,” pleaded Bobby, fixing Donk’s tic. Well, Floyd Klocpfer said he thought you were the sweetest little angel he ever knew.” “I’m sure he didn’t mean that,” said Bobby modestly, “but I just love Floyd, anyway. Fle’s a perfect dear. Don’t you think be looked cute in Chem. today?” Yes,” returned Ed Abe, sympathetically, but I think Mr. Biddle is mean. You should have seen the marks he gave Floyd and George Bernicke. 'I'he two of them just cried because they were sure they deserved more.” “No, they didn’t,” retorted Warren Sanker. “George doesn’t do anything in class but flirt and I don’t see how he could learn anything.” “Well, George is a dear chap, all right, but I can’t see what his girl sees in him,” added Scotty Rodgers, opening William Webbe’s locker and primping in the mirror on the door. “Just look at my hair. 1 just washed it and can’t do a thing with it.” “Your hair always looks cute,” said “Herb” Gathercole. “Mine’s the stuff that never stays put.” “Boys, I have a surprise for you,” announced Glen Royer, “you’ll never guess.” “What is it?” was the chorus. “Harry has his hair parted on the side.” This surprise was greeted with an enthusiastic laugh from the crowd, which was broken by the appearance of Leo Schwartz and Ed Johnson, their arms around each other’s necks. “Does oo love me?” murmured Leo. “Wery muchly,” was the answer. “Isn’t that too cute for words?” was all Scotty could say. Warning to boys: Femineus Gorsipitus is very contagious. Commencement Magazine [63] Heartaches Remedied Dear Mrs. U-No-Awl: 1 am a young man of 1 7 and a senior in high school. I have one great trouble. It ,s—to keep my hair in curl. I have tried many curling preparations, but to no avail. It persists in lying flat on my head. I can think of nothing that could cause this queer condition, unless it might be the constant eating of raisins (of which I am exceedingly fond). I have tried to break myself of this bad habit but find it difficult since raisins seem to be very soothing to my nerves; and are also excellent to play with and to annoy people with. Please, Mrs. U-No-Awl, answer soon in your column suggesting a remedy to “Curly” in Distress. My Dear Boy: Why worry about such a trifling matter as your hair? The girls probably like it just as it is, so why not let it alone? As to the raisins, I hardly think your locks are in any way affected by them. So do not worry about the over-indulgence in raisins. You will probably outgrow this childish habit. Dear Mrs. U-No-Awl: Of all the unhappy people in this world, I know I am the most unhappy. Why can’t I have a complexion like other girls? I am very pale and no matter what brand of rouge I use, it is always noticeable. When I pinch my cheeks and rub them with ice the color remains only for a short period of time. What can I do to have nice red cheeks like other girls, as I am very sensitive about this matter? Bettie Eppich (Pale-face). It is humiliating to be so pale, especially when all your girl friends have beautiful complexions. Bur, cheer up. I think your color will improve if you eat plenty of candy, pecan rolls, greasy foods and pastries, and eat very sparingly of vegetables, especially spinach, lettuce, carrots, onions and beets. Dear Mrs. U-No-Awl: Wc arc two young girls who would certainly appreciate your kind advice. We are both very delicate and do not indulge in sports of any kind. Our chief enjoyment is to sit near the fire and read good love stories while munching almond bars or pretzels. Anything that does not require much action, such as movies, lectures, etc., appeals to us. Wc are both of a very retiring nature. Our mothers seem to think that we ought to be interested in more lively affairs. But we can’t see it that way. What should we do? Bucky and Billie. My Dear Girls: You do not realize what a wonderful thing you are losing—youth—which you cannot get back. Why not make use of it and enjoy the pleasures that you should enjoy? I am sure you will find much enjoyment in sports. Start with the simple things first, then gradually work up to those that require more muscle. I am sure that you will find something of interest in athletics and you will no longer be the frail, delicate children that you are now. Dear Mrs. U-No-Awl: After reading your good advice to other people I thought perhaps you could help me. I am a girl still in my teens but everyone thinks I am older because I am very dignified and reserved. Girls usually seem happy and seem to be having a good time, but as soon as I get into the crowd immediately they change and become more serious and quiet. Can you tell me what to do so that I can grow more lively? Waiting for your kind answer, Clara. To Clara: Do not worry about your dignity, as it probably becomes you. Some people are just naturally inclined to be more quiet than others. But if you do wish to appear less dignified just keep on going with a lively, frivolous crowd. f64] Glenvii.lf.

HELEN McLAUGHLIN, Secy, of A. A. Prepared by LESTER HANSON. [66] Glenville High A Tragedy IN the little town of St. Ulmo, dwelt a young man, a Freeman in most senses of the word. His father was Henglish, in fact an ’Araster who dealt in meats, and his mother, although a Newcomer to the Block from Germany, was Highly esteemed in the Church. She had named her dear boy Conroy in hopes that he would be a great Sexton but, alas! he turned out to be a Sinek and scorned his mother’s caresses. At the tender age of eighteen he decided to Buck his way through the world. His mother received his words of farewell with moans of: Ach! Vat vill become of me? Your fader will die and vat will I—den vat vill I do? But our gallant young hero, straightening his back, Bon steeled himself against her entreaties and broke away. He took the name of Abe, that being more common in the vernacular of the Coleman to whom he hired out. The work was hard, there being many Thorns in his path, but he Stuck to the last. One day he thought: “My pile of Kal is growing fast. I do not wish to Gathercole all my life so I think I will Mosely along.’’ And so he set out again in Lew of adventure. Not long after this he was walking down a country road when suddenly he heard a cry of: “Oh! it will Berncike, it will Berntike Our hero dashed forward (to show his Meade) and just around a bend in the road he came upon a Fairchild bemoaning the fact that her Fox terrier was barking and prancing around the flames of a huge bonfire. Mustering up his (K)nerr vc our hero tried to K etc hum by the Knapp of the neck. The pup was so engrossed in IVagner tail that Abe caught her easily. The Fairchild, who proved to be a young lady, was Frankel ly amazed at his bravery. “Ah! here is a Good man and ah! so brave!’’ she cried, starting her hand to ex- Stend. ‘‘Dell is my name, and pray, what is yours?” The young man thought of the name he had chosen and wished he had a more distinctive name such as Royer, Rodger or maybe Frederick. After hesitating a moment, he said: “My name is Frederick. May I see you home?” She assured him she would be delighted to have him, so Sheehan he went along. Before long he was hopelessly in love with her. He wrote many an Eppich and song in her honor before he had courage to broach the subject to her. Finally he went to her and proclaimed his love. “Mahoney, he said, “I love you. Be my wife! Life without you would be as dark as a Cav' an' a dungeon. O! marry me, my love.” But she de Kleined his ardent plea, saying: “My father and mother Arnold couple. I cannot leave them.” Frederick could not believe his ears and begged over and over again on his bended knee. In fact, he almost become a nagger or Harper of the worst sort. After she refused, he became enraged. “There’ll be death to pay for this,” he swore as he turned away, “I Warner. Early the next morning, wearing a Maske he waylaid her as she came down the road dressed as a Mikadow, he hid behind a tree and with his Bowen arrow struck her in deHart and Sanker to the ground. As she died, her final words were: “Kendis be the man who said he loved me?” The neighbors Flocked to the scene of the murder and discussed the tragedy. Words of sympathy were expressed by everyone. “She was as Good as she was Fair, said one. “She Dunmore for me than any of my other children,” cried the mother. “We’ll Beyer a fine coffin,” said the Sexton. “It is indeed a sad thing that such will be the way of the world Tillman lives up to all IV hitelaws.

Hustling in the “ads” For this, our 12A issue, And with the other lads None less than a success He made it have to be.

In Civics she is the shining light. Know her now? The other, by no means a newcomer to our class, is the “vamp” type. Tall, darkeyed, charming, stately, and her hair a gorgeous, glorious black. She excels in snappy clothes. I guess that’s enough! Opposite in type, but their hearts must be alike! It crinkles up, it crinkles down! It crinkles all aroun’. It catcheth straw and other things! And to his forehead clings! Oh, what is this you ask of me? What else could jt but be Than someone’s hair of brownish hue; Stay “put,” it just refuses to? Now, who doth own this curly hair?

And, Oh! his name We’ve searched in vain But always find the same— Just “K. M.” and the surname! Oh, joy to the world, the fun’s begun As down the hall this sprite doth run. Her eyes, they twinkle, Her cheeks, they dimple, ’Tis she of the auburn tresses come! Know ye the baseball player of renown who bears her nickname? Know ye also that this little girl of a puppet show did write that won for her the name of poet? Yes, she is both athletic and poetic. Who can it “B”?

SENIORS LONG ago my elders im- pressed upon me that great respect and courtesy be shown my seniors, such gentlemen usually wearing spectacles, lone whiskers, often a cane and one I remember had a wooden leg. I seem to miss them in the February Class. And the girl Seniors, you know, really —really they are different too—at that time I knew them by the ruff on their high collars, their long sleeves and full skirts, but then possibly they were only maiden ladies while those now in view are SENIORS I still show you courtesy, I appreciate you and I adore you.

(Of course, Walter always came home that way, but that didn’t explain why Jimmy should.) And, wonder of wonders, somehow or other Jimmy had managed to lose his “Frat pin. Of course, there were two who understood all about it, and, really, that was all that was necessary. The pin looked lovely on Clara’s dress, and so what else mattered? Walter and Madge weren’t worrying very much about it. And so, you see, the “Transition in Trunks” did seem rather like a decree of the gods.

So, to get even, I married her mother. Then my father married the girl. When I married the girl’s mother, the girl became my daughter, and my father married my daughter, so he is my son. When my father married my daughter she became my mother. If my father is my son and my daughter is my mother, who am I?
