Margaret Appel THE OLYMPIAD ■+++++++++++ HIRAM II. CULLY Mr. Cully’s Message to the Graduates High School attendance, in the large cities especially, increased very greatly in that period immediately following the close of the World War. The Glenville High School has been graduating between five and six hundred pupils each year for the past five years. About five thousand have been graduated since the school was organized, and fully one half of this number have been given their diplomas in the last five year period. I-ast year we graduated five hundred and eighty two pupils. The number this year will be just a little less. We have three graduating classes each year. The June class is always the largest one. The class this year, for June graduation, numbers about three hundred and twenty-five. Two hundred and thirteen were graduated in January. Perhaps about forty will be graduated in August at the close of the summer term. Page Three These graduates may be found in practically every state of the Union. By far the larger number, however, will continue to live in Cleveland and enter its business and professional life. To all these graduates, and also to that even larger number of former pupils who did not remain long enough to complete the course of study, the old high school sends its most cordial greetings. It wishes for you the highest degree of success in your chosen field of endeavor, and it fondly hopes that you may often revert to the dear old high school days with feelings of gratitude to all those who helped in any way to make your stay there worthwhile. It is quite universally true, that after we have left the high school and are establishing ourselves in college or in the business world, we can much more readily understand just what the high school was really trying to do for us, and our estimate of its real value is enhanced accordingly. To the graduates of this year, the principal extends heartiest felicitations and most cordial good will. He and his associates, under whose instruction and care you have been for three years, express the hoi c that you have had a good time in this school; that you have made some worthwhile achievements. You should have added something to your stock of knowledge; your ideals and purposes should be enriched: your conception of your relationships to society and the state should assume a more tangible form. In fine, you should have made a fair beginning in the understanding of those fundamental essentials that are eventually to prepare you for worthy citizenship in the democracy, as well as those things which enter into the foundations of the profession into which you will go when high school days have been concluded. I trust that it may not seem impertinent or inopportune to remind you that the goal of success is not easily attained. The primrose path of dalliance and the just “getting by” habit are not likely to lead you to this desired ultimatum. You will find that in either business 01 the professions, the competition will be fierce and unrelenting. Only the strong and the capable will stay in the race and achieve distinction. All along through life you will see the wreckage of those who either were illy prepared or had not the requisite stamina to stay in the contest. Something akin to the burning enthusiasm of the ancient crusaders for their cause must grip your soul. An unswerving belief in and an undying passion for achieving in your chosen field, is the ultimate price that you will be called upon to pay for success. It used to be said of some of the ancient inhabitants of the islands in the Pacific Ocean that they believed that the strength of the wild animals which they killed in their hunting expeditions somehow or other passed into their own beings, and this gave to them the strength of supermen when they went forth to battle with the tribes about them, in some such way, it may be said, that every difficulty which you overcome, every barrier which you remove from your pathway, will give you added strength so to achieve that the joy which belongs only to those who stay in the race until signal success crowns their honest endeavor, may be yours in rich abundance.

We leave Glenville with a composite feeling of joy and humility; joy. because of the realization that we have faithfully contributed our share to Glenville; and, humility in the realization of that seemingly insignificant share as compared with the work of others in their work as “empire-builders.” CLASS OFFICERS Alfred Klein............

Soft music is heard behind the scenes, and then Enter Pierrot, playing mandolin, and singing dolefully. PIERROT: My love is sweeping the golden stair. That winds to the Milky Way— Her lover, the moon, is waiting there. To kiss her tears and hid her stay. (He breaks off, glances up at the moon with a melancholy smile. Sighs, and sings again.) My love is combing her golden hair Beneath the moon’s bright rays— He has stolen away mv love so fair, And darkened all my days! (Ends on a defiant note, but drops down on the marble bench, his mandolin unheeded. Soliloquizes in a mournful note.) Twas just such a cool, sweet night in June, Amid the rose's fragrant smother; Neath that self-same calm white moon, We pledged our love each to the otheiC • Ah. sweet Pierrette, where are you now? Wandering to find your new love? Forgotten too. your promise, your vow. Meshed in the spell of the moon above, You walked one night in the wood alone— And seeing his beauty, desired— Following the trail of the moonbeams. Heedlessly wooing him, fancy-fired. Faithless Pierrette, blinded with stardust, Come again to my empty arms. Listen once more to my lyrics of love, And I’ll quiet your heart with charms. (Bows his head in his hands, and groans. Silence for a space, then a tinkling laugh, and Pierrette dances in on tip-toe.) PIERRETTE (singing): Come and play with me. moonbeams. Your master is my love. Wherever I wander he watches o'er me, Sending caresses from above. Come and play with me. moonbeams, I feign would be as you, To wander up in the cool night sky, In the garden where love grew. (Sees Pierrot—starts back, then runs forward and places her hand on his.) P ujc Seventy Dear, why are you sad when you should be gay? See—all the world was so happy today! Even the church hells sang a song, And the birds’ merry voices echoed all the day long! Come—give me a smile and sing me a lay. Of love that blossoms beneath the moon’s ray. f f visions that glimmer in a garden of dreams, And the white, white radiance of pure love gleams. There, far away 'ncath an enchanted sky. The whole world lives on a lover’s sigh— The sun is all golden and shines a caress. And his light paves the high-road to happiness. Pierrot—stop pining away. Sing, dance for me, be gladsome and gay! I like not this melancholy way—-Pierrot, I— PIERROT: I Tow easy to say! You are happy—yes. carefree and gay. With never a thought tor my poor heart That’s aching and cracking within my breast. Till I scarce breathe lest it fall apart! Laugh! Yes, laugh at love’s broken dreams, That lie in fragments at your feet— Your frail white hands—’twould be more meet I f they should gather them up than cast them down! (Turns from her in anger and despair. Then his mood changes and he swings back with whimsical tenderness.) Pierrette. I’ve won your heart ere this, With a lover’s song and a lover’s kiss. Listen then to my musical plea. The voice of an invisible throng of birds, That quickens your heart in a song without words; The yearning that throbs in the love-bird’s croon— The haunting erv of the night-hiding loon; A lullaby sighed by a vagrant breeze, Wandering through the whispering leaves. The deeps of the ocean hold a jewel-strewn cave. Where pearled waters your white feet will lave. Gorgeous jewels in your hands I shall shower; Life's richest gifts he my loved one's dower. Then harken and heed the message it brings— For, foolish one. your fate Lies in the arms of the one who sings. (sings) The sweetness that lies in the heart ot a rose, Honcysweet hidden deep— The sweetness that yields to the honeybee’s sip, Treasure it fain would keep; The sweetness that thrills in the song of a bird. Melody, purest gold. The sweetness that lurks in the depth of a kiss. Greater than can be told; Page Scvcnty-onc The sweetness that’s felt in the rustic of spring, The magic of blue skies above— All this—this and more is made sweeter for me In the arms of the one I love! (Silence after he finishes his song. Pierrette seems half-entranced, but shakes oi¥ the feeling with an impish toss of her head) PIERRETTE: Pierrot. Pierrot, too well I know ’Tis but vour old sly bag o’ tricks. To play on the heartstrings with mad lyrics, Enthrall the soul and blind the eyes. Though the heart behind the veil outcries— Hut—you played your game with one too wise! (Throws back her head and laughs gailv; Pierrot bursts out in angry speech) PIERROT: I’ve given my soul and you’ve cast it aside: Now bv your own decision abide — ’Tis naught but madness, you silly maid, Mortal to woo a god, unafraid. As well you know— PIERRETTE: Go. Pierrot, you're gloomy and cross. Run away—I feel in no mood To quarrel, and your loss Shall be my gain, for I shall play W ith my happy maidens Who dance, and banish all cares awav. Go! PIERROT: Farewell, but never say That 1 loved you not. for by my faith, I worship the prints your lightsome feet make. And I would ever shadow, follow in your wake, Save you are enamored of that moon god wraith— So. farewell— (Pierrot goes out) PIERRETTE: Ah, the moonmaidens say That where sadness is they never come. For a woeful heart cannot welcome The beauty and joy of the fairy kingdom! (She rises, and throws out her arms in entreaty to the heavens, and sings) Silver moon, silver moon. Moon of heart’s desire. Send me just one silver star. To cool my love’s fierce fire. Silver moon, silver moon. Moon aloofly gleaming, Spill me just one silver ray To sparkle in my dreaming. Silver moon, silver moon, Richly laden treasure, Payc Seventy-two Hold you dear the rapture You possess past measure? Silver moon, silver moon, Come to me. 1 pray— My heart's-blood shall warm you That you may glimpse the day! (An elfin creature in white glittering spangles dances in. waves her wand at Pierrette, who sits spellbound. The moon-maiden dances. Then another dances in and they dance together, giving the effect of criss-crossing moonbeams.. They sing) MOON MAIDEN’S SONG Ah, vain maiden, woo not the moon, Lest you should taste of death too soon. The mortal heart is but poor clay, Immortal clasp will melt it away. Think, and turn, ere it be too late, Give your heart to your earthly mate. Sorrow alone awaits you here. In the touch of the moon that you call dear. (They vanish, and Pierette awakes with a start. She gazes around in bewilderment. all the past events having faded in her mind) PIERRETTE: Pierrot! Oh, my love—where did he go? He swears undying love so true, And vanishes like sun-kissed dew! Pierrot! (Pierrot comes running in) PIERROT: Pierrette ! You called, I vow— My heart said I must answer now, E'en though you love another. PIERRETTE: Another? Are you mad? I gave to you My promise true— And now you say I love another! (Bursts into tears. Pierrot gazes at her in a bewildered fashion, then drops on his knees and attempts to comfort her.) PIERROT: Sweet, 1 love but you, dear heart— 1 vowed to you wc ne’er should part, Until you bade me go; I was only poor Pierrot. You aspired to that white moon cold. And left me ere love’s dream was told. Promising him felicity. What. then, was left for me? PIERRETTE: Pierrot—it seems ’twas just last night. We sat in this garden, in this very light, And now you say I bade you go. But why—when 1 do love you so? Page Seventy-three — THE OLYMPIAD — Come, sing that song of long ago— That song— PIERROT: I know Another I wrote when you left me Last eventide—so tenderly. I kissed your eyelids, heavy with dew. And whispered o softly “Pierrette. I love you.” Let me close them again, recapture that bliss, That swells in your touch, distilled in a kiss. ( Pierrette lies down on the couch Pierrot makes for her of soft leaves, and Pierrot leans over, placing a kiss on each eyelid.) See—the desert sands are sifted, The moon is wan and cold. A vagrant cloud is rifted With errant shaft oi gold. A pearly gleam of morning light. Steals to flush the sky; A rose with misty dew bedight. Blooms full fair, to die. Dully in the eastern vault. Dim lantern of the morn. Glimpse Venus, of so perfect fault. Pale ray of dawn, forlorn— Close your dream-weighted eyes in sleep, Whilst the moon climbs up the western steep. (sings) Where has all the sunlight gone. The roses and the dew? I vow that I have seen none. Since I last saw you. Kor you alone can bring me The rapture of the spring— Kor you the very flowers bloom. Kor you the birdlings sing. Hush now. my darling, for dreams are on the way— Close your eyes and let sleep drown the sorrows of the day. The moon comes peeping through the trees, on silent fairy quest Hush now, my darling, and lull your cares to rest. (The curtain falls as Pierrott finishes) livelyn Florence Madsen. June '27 THOUGHTS OF A NEAR ALUMNUS Oh. for the life of a graduate; To be without sorro w or care. Would I wight sooner terminate These days of tests and despair. Sorroiv and misery, Satanic, are rife— The time for exams is here. But the bracing thought of the future life Sustains, for Commencement draws near. Milton Sachs, June ’27 Paye Seventy-four Of Poets and Emperors FROM the ashes of Shelley we behold emerging fully-armed in the habiliments of that child-like genius, Ariel, a new “genius of Light.’’ Heavenly-guided he approaches the citadel of the muses and iN kissed on the forehead by the muse of poetry. He then descends from Parnassus and walks immortally among mortals. Thus bewitched by the muse, he is doomed to live and die a divine songster amongst mundane clods. As the lineal successor to Shelley and Keats, Francis Thompson became heir to Shelley's imagery and Keats’s {esthetic beauty. To this sweet potion of imagery and beauty, he added Swinburne's passionate longings. Thus equipped, he now set out on his perilous journey guided only by the sad angel poesy. But the soul of the true poet is sad'; and, at every stopping place, he disseminated his emotions. For children, the joyous nurslings of innocence, he bore a genuine love. “Know you what it is to be a child? It is to be in love, to believe in loveliness, to believe in belief; it is to be so little that the elves can reach to whisper in your ear; it is to turn pumpkins into coaches, and mice into horses, lowness into loftiness, and nothing into everything, for each child has its fairy godmother in it-, own soul; it i to live in a nutshell and to count yourself the king of infinite space.” Beauty and love—to these two kindred sisters, the poet has made unconditional surrender. Guided only by his imagination and aided by the dazzling gorgeousness of his spontaneous How of words, he repeopled the universe. e,0 world invisible. ivc vicin' thee, O world intangible, we touch thee. 0 world unknowable, we know thee. Inapprehensible, we clutch thee:’ To the advocates of simplicity, his images are irreconcilable. “Xwt even Shelley dared to take such license. they say. If Thompson hunted for those strange words coldbloodedly then it would be inexcusable. But it is not so. These words are passionate outpourings from his musical soul. Simplicity would be as much an artificiality to him as imagery is to bad poets. What poet who sang divinely had not sadness for his nurse? Akin to beauty these two graces walk hand in hand. Beauty is enshrouded with sadness. Those who are sensitive to her invoke the ire of her twin sister. No natural phenomenon is more beautiful than a sunset which Thompson has immortalized in the saddest ode in the language—the Ode to the Setting Sun.” The sadness and misery of Thompson’s life has made his sensitiveness to beauty more acute. Like his godfather. Shelley, he suffered from melancholia;only the torments of Thompson were made more intense by reason of his poverty. Like Shelley he never grew out of his childhood. Both died brokenhearted and in solitude. Having invoked the wrath of the Olympian gods by their childish pranks and machinations, they were cast out from their citadel and doomed to live and die immortals among mortals. “Poets are like Roman Emperors, for they become gods only after they die.” William Gordon, Feb. ’27 Payc Seventy-five THE OLYMPIAD Acct inr.TIW f RrfiSD® ?s models Pane Seventy-six A Lesson In Diplomacy The scene is laid in a modern living room, furnished with two easy chairs, a davenport, several lamps, and a piano. Mrs. Holden sits in one of the chairs, with her sewing in her lap. Her daughter, Geraldine, faces her defiantly. MRS. HOLDEN: My dear child, when will I teach you that one needn't tell the truth all the time? Did you have to tell Mrs. Watt that we bought this furniture at a bankruptcy sale? You must learn diplomacy, Jerry. GERALDINE: But, Mother, what's the use of lying about it? It's lots easier to tell the truth. There won’t be any embarrassing complications then, if she ever asks anything else about it. MRS. HOLDEN: (exasperated) Oh, my dear, that’s not lying at all, it’s only—well, diplomacy. GERALDINE: It is not, it’s plain lying. Dad always says, “'Pell the truth, tell the truth . I've followed that advice so long that now I can't do anything else. MOTHER: Oh. of course 1 don’t mean just to say things for the sake of lying. But if adding a few dollars to the price of a dress or saying you saw a play that you only read is harmful—really, my dear, then I think we've planted ideals in your mind that are too high for any practical person. As long as it harms no one else, and if you gain more prestige or popularity by exaggerating a little, or by using your imagination to invent an excuse which may extricate you from an embarrassing situation, my advice is. “Go right ahead . Until now though, it seems as though you’ve followed your father’s advice. Perhaps he’d be a more successful business man, too, if he used more diplomacy. GERALDINE: Mother! You know everybody has so much faith in Dad. What’s the difference if he isn’t a millionaire? Everybody respects him and trusts him. M RS. HOLDEN : Now listen here, my dear, do you think it’s necessary for your father to travel all ’round the state just to get a certain kind of material? Do you think anyone would know the difference if he used cheaper goods? No. But here he’s been gone a month, looking for a perfect material, when something not quite so good would serve just as well. GERALDINE: (Smiles mysteriously and says to herself) Well, perhaps you're right. We'll see. (aloud) You know. Mother, I think that Arthur is going to ask me to go to a dance with him. out at a country roadhouse, on Sunday night. May I go? MRS. HOLDEN: How many more times, Jerry, must I tell you that I despise those places: and really, I can’t let you go. GERALDINE: But Mother— MRS. HOLDEN: No, there’s no use talking. (Emphatically) I simply wouldn’t have you seen there. (Telephone bell rings) There’s the 'phone. It must be Arthur. And listen. Jerry, you needn’t say that I won’t let you go. Use diplomacy, my dear. GERALDINE: (Sulkily) Hello, yes, this is Jerry talking. No. I can't go. My Moth— MRS. HOLDEN: (Warningly) Jerry! GERALDINE: Kr-ah-I’m sorry, but I have another-uh-engagement. Arthur. (Pause) Oh, I’m just going to see “Beau Geste at the Ohio. I’m awfully sorry. All right then. Good-by. (To Mrs. Holden) Say, you know. Mother, that wasn’t half-bad! (Wonderinglv) I’ll bet I even managed to make him jealous. If that’s what a little lying—I mean, diplomacy, will do, here goes. Page Seventy-seven SCENE II Two weeks later on Sunday night. Mrs. Holden and Geraldine are in the living room. Geraldine walks nervously across the room, and stops in front of a mirror, and absent-mindedly fluffs out her hair. MRS. HOLDEN: Why. Jerry, what in the world are you so nervous about? You’d think that this was the first time you’d ever gone out. JERRY: No. but anyway, I'm anxious to go. I hate to miss the first number of a concert. It spoils the whole effect. 1 do wish he'd hurry up and come. (Doorbell rings) That must be he now. ( Runs to open the door.) Hello, Arthur. I've been waiting for you for ages. (Arthur appears, also looking nervous.) ARTHUR: You have? Well, good heavens, 1 thought I was too early. We’ve got another hour before the dan— (Jerry midges him ) er—before the—the “Danube Waltz” 1 guess that's going to be the opening number. MRS. HOLDEN: You'd better go though, so that you won't miss anything. GERALDINE: Yes, I think so too. Where'd you put my gloves, Mother? You wore them yesterday, you know. MRS. HOLDEN: Oh dear. T don't remember where I put them. Oh. yes. I do. they're upstairs. Wait, and I'll go and find them. GERALDINE: (She hears sounds of rummaging upstairs) Oh Arthur, for heaven’s sakes. let's hurry and get out. I’m so afraid we’ll spill the beans. You don't know how anxious 1 was to go to that dance, and when you told me it was postponed:—(breaks off abruptly as Arthur is trying to convey to her by several facial contortions that her mother is entering the room.) ARTHUR: (hurriedly attempting conversation) Didn’t you like the show last Sunday. You know the one I mean, “Lean Geste.’’ GERALDINE: (dazed) Last Sunday? Why, I didn't go to a show last Sunday. MRS. IIOLDEN (sharply interrupting) Here are your gloves. Jerry. (Insinuatingly) You'll never be a diplomat, my dear, you’re too absent-minded. GERALDINE: Oh. thanks. Mother. (Slowly, as though feeling her way) You see, Arthur, I didn’t go to the show last Sunday after all. My friend—er— ah—lost his tickets—so we spent the evening at home. Arthur: Oh. well, you missed something. But come on. my feet can’t wait. (He breaks off at sight of Geraldine's frightened expression and then goes on, stumbling for words) uh—until they—er—start to keep time to the music, (Volubly continuing) You know, Mrs. Holden, whenever I listen to music—1 always— sort of tap my foot in time to it. (Becoming more embarrassed) It’s getting to be a habit and people always tell me how annoying it is. Worse than chewing gum. they say. (Stopping for breath) Once, I tapped so loud, it sounded like the drums. GERALDINE: (Anxiously interrupting) Oh. come on, Arthur, save your hard luck stories for another time. ARTHUR: (Wiping his perspiring forehead, and heaving a sigh of relief) All right, let's go. (Slowly and with troubled expressions on their faces, they walk towards the door. There, they turn to say goodbye once more. Geraldine, after a slight hesitation, despairingly lifts her shoulders and then says to Arthur) It’s no use. Arthur. I’m no diplomat. (To Mrs. Holden) Mother, we’re going to the dance. Goodby. (The door slams shut leaving Mrs. Holden gazing stupidly at it.) Edith Apple, June ’27.

June 27 Page Seventy-nine — THE OLYMPIAD — A Fantasy IN the firelight was felt the silence which conies always upon the heels of a lovely haunting bit of music.—the silence which tells of dormant emotion aroused. Edith W alton rose quickly, took a few brisk steps and switched on the light. The harsh brightness expelled into the far away the lingering throbs of melody. Gone of a sudden was the beauty wrought of fantastic shadows, of twilight grayness. Edith's mouth curved rather scornfully as she noted the dreaminess in the eyes of the other four girls. She smiled contemptuously as slowly dawning reality returned to the consciousness of her four friends. One of the four stirred restlessly. Glancing rather irritably at the scornful Edith, she complained, “Good heavens! Even if you can’t appreciate music, why can’t you let us at least enjoy it! You utterly ruined that for me. Honest, 1 think you have absolutely no imagination.” “No imagination —Edith laughed rather bitterly. Of course she hadn’t and was proud of it. And yet— She well remembered a captivating aunt whom her father had amusedly derided. What that aunt could do! Seated before an ordinary gas fire, she would spin picture after picture before the fascinated child’s eyes. She told of glorious flame-locked castles, of the gorgeous, blazing King of Fire. She told of singing golden mermaids who rode at the tip of every waving flame. They were all there, she said, you could see them just as plain as plain—. Then little Edith would move nearer the smelly fire, screw up her eyes and nod reassuringly to her aunt. Yes, she too. could see them. Hut she herself never corrected, never added to, never improved her aunt’s stories. One day, in the midst of an enticing tale, her aunt left her sitting on the floor staring into the flames. Dull tears came slowly to her eyes. She wanted so to see them—the castles, the king, the mermaids. Yet. as hard as she looked, she could not even catch a glimpse. Suddenly an idea flashed through her mind. If they were there as her aunt said, she might touch them, feel them. Desperately she creased her forehead. Determinedly she planted a castle on the top-most row of flame. A castle? A sadly formless, colorless jumble. Nevertheless not discouraged, but trembling with anxiety. Edith cautiously leaned nearer. Slowly, slowly, she stretched a tiny finger toward the castle. Then all at once it vanished; a stinging pain shot through Edith's finger. She wanted to cry, but she couldn't. The pain was bad. but something else was worse. She had failed. Her aunt had said it was a pity to have no imagination. And she, Edith, had none. So it had been all through her life. A glowing moon was a glowing moon; chords of music were but groups of harmonious notes; a tugging wind a nuisance. And it hurt Edith so much more than had that first burn. Her friends never knew how she struggled and fought with herself in futile, pitiful endeavor to create an imagination. High, high above, behind the darkening clouds, the three Fates toiled ceaselessly. Eternal, placid, they spun and cut. And in the manner of gods, gazing down they saw idle Edith. Grimly they spun and in a new, strange weave. And Edith was no longer before her fire. A blazing scorching blue sky. A vast stretch of smouldering sand. And between these two a scene of brilliant color, of emotion unsuppressed. ♦ Page Highly A slit-eyed wooden god dispassionately contemplated his fanatic worshippers. Cruel, hard jewels Hashed in the sun. Immense, unreachable. Yet his spirit was all about; in the heavy incense winding slowly skyward; in the weird wild chant pulsing through the breezeless air. About the great god’s feet a swaying circle rhythmically danced. The hollow drum of the tom-tom. The riotous color,—purples, golds, reds.—all somehow emblazoned together. The monotonous down, up, before the shrine. All wild paganism! And the god looked cynically, silently down. Drawn by an over powering force, Edith walked haltingly nearer to the gorgeous swirl. Of a sudden, the god’s eyes snapped wrathful fire. A swift mist sprang up, a sweeping wind. And then all was gone—the devout worshippers, the spirit of the god. A meaningless wooden image between the blazing blue sky and the smoldering sand. Across the great emptiness four rebuking words came to Edith—“You have no imagination.” And Edith understood. Understood what beauty, what depth of feeling was forever lost to her. Out of the first swoop of desperate wretchedness, one sharp longing arose,—the longing for her bewitching aunt. The aunt who was so wonderful, so blessed. The longing was almost weakening, so poignant it was. Edith glanced wrathfully at the shell of the deity. W hy her aunt was her conception of perfection—her idol! Startled at the word, she looked with widening eyes at the pagan god. Expression again filled the shining gem-eyes; the mouth curved. The whole countenance softened. And Edith saw there the spirit of her aunt, smiling encouragement. A clear voice said to her, “You’ve been a long time coming.” Suddenly the air about seemed less lifeless. Something within the girl seemed to stir, to fill her heart with racing joy. For she had awakened it—her imagination. It had been there all the long, long while hidden in the vast unknown; awaiting not conscious, prodding fingers but the delicate touch of spontaneity. And the fates, eternal, placid, spun and cut.

Marcel, a real artist. An Inspector. Ambulance men Time: The Present Place: New York City Scene: The scene is laid in the combination living dining room of a tiny flat. In case of necessity it could be changed into a bedroom, for there is a large davenport across left corner. In center back is a large open window, the view of which is entirely obstructed by the brick wall of the neighboring tenement which seems fairly to touch it. White mended curtains try to hide the ugly yellow framework of the window. A blooming geranium plant on the sill and a neat bookrack beneath it are further attempts at decoration : at right to window stands a weatherbeaten piano which may be a second-hand installment affair or an heirloom. On it, neat stacks of music are arranged; compositions like “The Song of Love by Schubert and “The Peer Gynt Suite may be seen. A small round table well up stage and nearly in the center displays a half-finished still life picture, very amateurish in style and technique. Beside it are a folded blue cloth and a few dishes. Plain chairs are carefully placed around the table with the exception of one, for up-stage. Inexpensive reproductions of famous paintings adorn the wall to help hide a hideous wall paper. Although the room has a crowded shabby appearance, it is painfully tidy and attempts to be artistic. There are two doors on left and right sides; the first leading to the kitchenette, the second, to the exit. (As the curtain rises. Lucy, dressed in a blue serge suit, is seen bending over an open valise on the chair in front. A hatbox stands beside it. Lucy is a young woman of twenty-two, and though her face is pretty and sensitive, lines of disappointment and discontent mark it. Today she is especially excited, and throughout the play must convey the idea of useless fidgeting and nervousness. She moves an article only to return it to its original position the next moment. Marcel, his back to the audience, faces the window, humming “The Song of Love” and examining the books on the rack. He is not more than twenty-seven and has a tall lithe figure. He is dressed in a well-fitting foreign-made suit; his coat and hat are carelessly thrown over the davenport where Lucy’s simple tailored hat also lies.) Lucy: (looking up from valise) Dearest. 1 wish you wouldn't stand there humming by the window so long. Marcel: (nonchalantly) What’s the matter with the window? Lucy: Oh, my neighbors across the way. They hear and see so much—even through brick walls—old cats! They make me sick and tired, as everything here does. (Sinks into chair wearily) I'm sure they’ve seen you already- Marcel: (turns to her, showing his pale sensitive face) Never mind, my dear. They’ll think I’m the landlord coming to collect over-due rent. Lucy: (hastily) Oh. he never was that bad. Always managed to pay the rent at the first of each month, somehow. Marcel: Oh, to be sure; he’d pay the rent, clothe you. feed you three times a day, and there his duty would end. Mais, e’est tout a fait fini, maintenant, n’est-ce pas? Page Eighty-four Lucy: (smiling up at him) That means “Isn’t it,” n’est-ce pas? (he l eams approvingly) I had a year's French in school but not like that. Oh, how I’d love to learn it all over again. Marcel: (blithely) You’ll be obliged to. ma belle; two weeks from now we’ll be in Paris, you know. Lucy: (closing her eyes as if tantalized) Paris, the dream of a life time! A wish I never dared to hope for. Oh. if this be dreaming.—I don’t want to wake up.

And you’ve never even seen them, (abruptly changing topic ) Ah—you can get it fixed up with him in—a—six months. That’s why we’re leaving so soon. Tonight, Lucy, we sail! Happy? Lucy (faintly) So happy. I’m sad. Prince Charming comes to carry off poor dumb Cinderella over the seas----- Marcel: —And my Cinderella is going to discard her apron and don a smock, she’s going to forget her pots and pans and learn of paints and brushes, (becoming serious) Lucy, it is much harder to copy models for me in Paris than it is to peel potatoes for him in New York. Lucy: (impulsively) Nothing is hard when you’re taught the right way. Marcel! All my life I’ve been drawing silly figures—trying to do something beautiful. Now this (takes still life sketch from table, thrusts it before him)— I know it is bad, you’ve said so—but— Marcel: (encouragingly) But it takes time to develop art. (speaking with authority but not conceit) Oh those years it took me to get my three paintings into the Paris exposition! But they’re there. By the by. they're accepting that one of you called “Girl Sewing. —they say the face is exquisite. But, it’s hard, hard work combined with patience and love. Lucy: I’ve tried, but how could 1 create anything with him jeering over my shoulder constantly Art means to him painting one’s cheeks, or signs, or garages. I guess! When i tried to copy your Diana he’d say “Aw. put a cover on ’er; she’ll ketch a cold. Then I took up still life and he’d bawl out. “Watcha tryin’ draw a onion fer; ain’t we got plenty in the icebox? Ah (shudders at thought) he could discourage a pink rat—so vulgar! Marcel: (laughingly) I’ll never forget that day 1 first saw you in the museum. Such a pair you made! He like a bull in a china shop; you like its most delicate ware. How happy he looked when you came up and. seeing me sketch, whispered, “I think you’re just wonderful!” Oh. I thought you were too; still do. I guess. Lucy: (becoming more nervous as he speaks, tries to hide her feelings under a forced laugh) He thought every one who went to a museum ought to be locked up. I went there ever)' Saturday with him—a—till I met you. Then I went every day alone—n’est-ce pas? (She takes out powder box and dusts her face.) Marcel: (going to left for coat) You bet. n’est-ce pas?—But thus Fate decreed you should marry a factory foreman and so meet me! See. your whole life plan is mapped out. (Both laugh, he heartily, she hysterically) Ready? Lucy: No. no. I don’t want them (nodding to window) to see us go out together with these valises. Besides, er—I’m sure I’ve forgotten something. It’s so hard to pack in secret.— (going toward kitchenette) Oh—that glass of milk! Marcel: Milk? for whom? Lucy: (very much embarrassed) Oh it is just a habit of mine. Every time I’m not home for dinner. I leave him a glass of milk on the table—and—a note. Marcel: You’re not leaving him one today, are you? Lucy: No. Marcel, not this time. (A dead pause.) Page Eighty-five Marcel: (shaking his head) W hat a wife! Even leaves him a glass of milk! (Sarcastically) W'ell, let him have it! It may keep him from fainting when he learns what's happened. Lucy: (much annoyed) Dearest, the taxi is due in about fifteen minutes, 1 believe. Wait under this window in the alley, and signal to me when it comes. Marcel: I'll just hum ’'The Song of Love nonchalantly, so that your dear neighbors will think I'm some silly lover. And you, you must throw me a geranium when you're ready to leave. Yes? (She nods, they embrace.) Goodbye for ten minutes, mv love. Don’t forget the geranium! (He exits at right, she waves from door-way.) (For several moments after, she does not know what to do. Finally she exits at left, returns with a glass of milk, and begins spreading the cloth. As though worried, she sits down, opens her bag, and from a pay envelope, begins counting the bills.) Let’s see—ten and five are fifteen, and fifteen more and this five—that makes thirty-five. All his week’s wages he gave me on Saturday night: today is—let's see, Monday, of course. Er 1 better not take all. he may need some. We'll need some ice—and—(searches bag for pencil, then throws it back.) How silly— 1 mustn’t write a note, (grows cjuite desperate) Oh how foolish 1 feel! My heavens, what will he say? But. I've a right to my own life, haven't 1 ? I never did any wrong to him or—( A sharp bell frightens her out of her reverie.) Who can that be? (Trembling, with hand on throat, she risi-s. Bell repeated.) Can't be Bill, why it isn’t even near twelve—oh (hesitantly crosses and oj ens door) My God! (Lucy stares for a moment, then nearly faints, as ambulance men enter bearing Bill whose eyes and head are bandaged. They are followed by the inspector, a tlu'n but genial-looking man.) Inspector: Here. boys, put 'ini on that couch, 1 guess. (To Lucy) Sit down, ma'am. I know how it feels. Damn shame, I'll say. (Makes Lucy, still stupefied. sink into chair. Tries to revive her.) Poor thing! (to men) takes it bad. I guess. Is lie dead to the world? They nod.) Lucy: (suddenly sits up, her face pale, her body trembling) Tel! me, what has happened? Oh. 1 can’t think Inspector: (sympathetically) He ain't so bad ma'am. Sorry these things happen, ma’am. In the factory—well, a blast, a bang—and it’s just over—see? He standin’ there telling the guys what to do and otf somepiif goes! (quietly) It's his eyes ma’am, he-he can’t see no more. Lucy: (throws head back) Oh my God, my God! (Men have arranged Bill with blankets, etc.) Inspector: (to men) Guess that’s all you kin do, boys. I'll send around the doctor.—fer her. too. (Ambulance men exit quietly at right.) Lucy: (wildly now) Say, won’t he ever be able to see. ever? (Begins moaning wildly.) Inspector: (loath to disclose the truth.) Well, ma’am I ain’t a doctor, can’t say. Seems pretty bad, they said. But he kicked so, when they mentioned a hospital. He was in the emergency room long before he came home here. He said he'd die, if he couldn't see you—poor fellow—see you! Doctor'll come around right away. T know it’s a shame, ma’am. Seems we mortals can't control some things in this world. Lucy: (strangely calm) No, we mortals can’t control anything, in this world. —Fate! (laughs) Page Eujlily-six Inspector: Any friends or someone around here you want, ma’am? I guess you ain't got no 'phone. (Looks about searchingly) Lucy: (with supreme effort) Xo, I prefer to be alone with him. It’s such a shock, you know. Inspector: (rising) Sure, I kin feel for you. Company’s responsible, ma'am, (professionally) Maimed while at work, he'll go on with his pension—we pays all doctor bills—ma'am.

Lucy: (after a pause in which he moans audibly.) Billy, Billy, Billy speak to me! Billy: (trying to steady a shaken voice.) G-got a glass of milk for me, honey ?

(Laughs weakly.) Lucy: (with glass to his lips) Got any pain, poor Billy? Bill: Xope. just a funny feeling. Like 1 was dreaming: hope f never wake up. though. Ever have such a feeling? Lucy: Once. Bill. Bill: (after drinking) Say that was good. Xever missed a day since our weddin . have ya. lion? I'm in luck, 1 am. I knew you’d be waitin’ fer me. Thas why I wouldn’t go to no hospitals. (Feeling her sleeve) Was ya going out this afternoon, girlie? Lucy: (very quietly) Yes, Bill, but not any more, of course. (Passionately) Oh, poor Bill, your eyes, your eyes, your poor eyes! Bill: (trying to be nonchalant) Xever mind kiddie. 1 guess we get used ter everything, in time. Good rest from factory with my weak chest. Anyhow 1 got you. and thass all I need, I’ll tell the world. Lucy: Yes. Billy dear, (arranging his couch) Xow try to rest. I'll pull the shade. Bill: (nervously worked up, continues) 1 kin get work, I kin. Remember them baskets we saw at the fair made by blind men? It'll be hard on you though, me bein’ led around, you know. Lucy: Dearest, don't think of such things. I'll always lead you around. (Tune of The Song of Love” is heard from below the window. Lucy fairly gasps.) Bill: Yep. you ought to go to art school. 1 can’t see your stuff, anyhow, now. (laughs tragically). Then you kin draw at nights instead of goin’ to a movie with me. Ya never did love ’em.— (he seems exhausted, sinks down on pillows) You should a been an artist, 1 guess. (All this time Lucy has stared through the window, motionless) Wats that noise down there? (Humming increases in volume) I can’t stand it. Lucy: Ah, just some silly lover. I guess. Bill: Well, tell him to keep his love to himself and move on. We don’t want it. Lucy: (at window) 1 suppose not. Shuts window and draws the shade. Humming dies out. Picks a geranium and crushes it in her palm.) Want a flower. Bill? Bill: (as Lucy gives it to him.) Thanks, honey—my nice old Lou! (Lucy bows her head as CURTAIX FALLS.) Ruth E.

Evelyn Madsen, June ’27 Page Eighty-eight Retribution WINTER was settling slowly in the valley. The barren trees shivered under the merciless blast of the wind. Dead brown leaves hid the naked earth from the cold gray gaze of the sky. A chill glow in the heavens marked the place of the winter sun. The frost of the surrounding landscape was reflected in the heart of Randolph Storm as he trudged along the lonely dirt road, his hands shoved deep in his pockets, his coat collar pulled up. and his hat pulled down low over his eyes. He kept his eyes on the road before him. immersed in his thoughts. As he glanced up at the unprepossessing view, his gaze was dark and troubled. IIis face was the face of a young man aged prematurely; his shoulders were always round and hunched as though to hide himself; his eyes were restless and suspicious;—an unhappy face altogether. He was thinking of the last time he had travelled this same road. He had been truly young and hot-headed and impetuous, caring for nothing, heedless of consequences, intent only upon his purpose. lie pictured himself as he had stood at the door of Blakeley's room staring with angry eyes at the cool, scornful chemist standing immobile, his hand still holding the poisoned needle with which he had been experimenting. The man in the road shrank involuntarily as he heard again the roar of the pistol in his ears, felt again the horror and remorse of the terrified boy, saw again the blank stunned look come into Blakeley’s face. He remembered, then, how Blakeley's splendid will had conquered, for a moment, the gathering darkness: how he had gasped faintly, “I’ll get even yet’ ; how he had then rolled over dead. Randolph was on his way now to the scene of that deed: a morbid curiosity drove him on, protesting. He did not know whether or not the body had been discovered in that lonely house, for he had been afraid to ask in the village. He was a stranger to the people now, although he had spent all his happy, carefree childhood in this same valley. Suddenly in the distance, he saw two great yellow eyes peering at him. searching into his guilty soul. Sick and trembling, he hid by the side of the road and watched as the yellow eyes went tearing past. An automobile was a strange sight on this unfrequented road. His tortured mind turned, seeking relief, upon thoughts of his childhood. He smiled, all his face lighted up and his eyes became young, as he noticed a tall stick poking its way straight up out of the ground in a field beside the road. lie knew what that meant. Every fall Old Man Skinner—“Old Skinflint 4 they had called him—removed his scarecrow from this stick and hid it in a secret place where marauding boys could not find and destroy it. He chuckled as he remembered Old Skinflint's dismay when, time and again, the hiding place was discovered. Hastening on. he wondered where the scarecrow was hidden this year. These pleasant musings were soon cut short and depression again sat heavy on his heart as remembrance filled him. fie was now standing in front of a large, gray house, badly in need of repair. In the fast deepening twilight, Blakely House stood out like a great gray ghost haunting with melancholy, hollow sadness, scenes of its one-time happiness. Randolph jumped over the broken-down gate and started down the walk which was scarcely visible under its thick coat of dried-up leaves and wilted brown grass. He walked up the tumble-down steps, his foot-steps sounding like the blows of a hammer in the enveloping stillness. He opened the door which swung on rusty hinges creaking mournfully. In the shrieking silence his heart-beats roared in his ears. lie pressed his hand on Page Eighty-nine — THE OLY MPI A D —_ his heart to still the beats somewhat. The doctor had said he had a weak heart and must take care of it. Jt was now totally dark outside. He stepped in and lighted a candle which he was carrying in his pocket. The whole house creaked and groaned, and the shadows cast by the candle became large and fearful demons springing at him with eager, clutching claws. He rolled his eyes and gasped for breath. His eyes were caught by the sight of the staircase up which he had gone that fateful journey to its tragic end. He moved toward it slowly, his whole soul protesting; yet he was powerless to stop. All the grotesque shadows laughed at him, mocking silently with scornful fingers and derisive faces. Suddenly a strange moaning began. It filled every nook and corner of the house, echoing from wall to wall. Randolph stood, petrified with terror. A low gasping voice whispered faintly, ‘Til get even—yet.” Always that ever-recurring phrase toned relentlessly in his ear. Mechanically he walked up the steps, crossed the hall and stood in front of a door. It loomed large and menacing before him. Again the strange groan echoed through the house. Slowly, fearfully, he opened the door, then threw it suddenly wide. A sudden gust of wind through the broken window, a fitful spurt of flame, and he was left in darkness. The moon had risen, a silver ball, and revealed the dim outline of a form lying on the floor. He kneeled. l cnt forward trembling, and. touching the silent figure in front of him, felt the soft clothing of a man's suit. Suddenly his finger was pierced sharply. He sprang up shrieking, horror-stricken. “The poisoned needle . Already he could feel a hot flame racing up and down his arm. Randolph sobbed with pain and fright and the echoing moan was his only answer. He slipped to the floor, the death-rattle in his throat. The moon was hidden and the first soft snowflakes of the year drifted silently in through the window and covered two dark forms. Spring was settling swiftly in the valley. The trees were dressing themselves in their green gowns, swaying softly to the music of the wind whose nip was not nearly so sharp as it had been. The whole earth was blushing like a young girl under the warm blue of the sky; while the sun gazed down with round, unwinking benevolence. The birds were busy building their nests, but still they could spare a moment or two to twitter to the younger ones, of the sweet delights which would soon be visible. Even Old Skinflint Skinner smiled tolerantly to himself as he jogged slowly along the lonely road in his jolting wagon. He was travelling on a secret mission, but the neighboring boys had winked significantly to each other for they knew that spring was coining. Glancing back furtively to sec if there were any spying boys, he stopped his horse in front of the Blakely House, clambered down, and went to the steps. The House looked like a forlorn and ragged tramp in the cheery light of the morning sun. Just as Skinner opened the door, a gust of wind shook the house: two trees standing interlocked iust outside a window rubbed their branches, which caused a curious moaning sound to fill the house. Undeterred by this. Old Skinflint hobbled painfully up the stairs as quickly as his rheumatism permitted. Opening a door in the hall, he whistled with surprise at sight of the strange objects lying on the floor. As he turned over the first one, he recognized the moody stranger who had come last Fall to the village and had so suddenly disappeared. Turning to the other figure, he cursed softly as he pricked his finger on a sharp piece of straw protruding from the dilapidated coat of his scarecrow.

We find ourselves in a spacious room where sunbeams | eer through the shiny windows and. sensing the coziness of the atmosphere, dance in and prepare to stay. Some lodge themselves in the creamy whiteness of the curtains; others parade in long array over the silk cushions, scattered at random upon the soft, luxurious carpet; still others poise upon the massive, mahogany chairs. But thrice-blessed are those which radiate in an halo above the silver-streaked head of our charming hostess. Mrs. Allen. Seated in the largest chair is the honorable Roland Brown Esq., gifted with those large, appealing, dreamy eyes, protected by huge, horn-rimmed goggles. This very tall, trim, impressive, young gentleman is of the book agent lineage, but of entirely different qualities from his ancestors. He does not babble out meaningless words studied carefully from pamphlets. Far be it from him! But rather docs he seem to pour fourth inspiration, learning, and refinement in his very sincerity.) Brown (earnestly): This set of books, my dear Mrs. Allen, would not at all please the young lady. Of that I am certain. Girls of to-day treasure the light fantastic, the romantic, the highly seasoned novels of no importance. Mrs. Allen: Oh. my dear young man, my Cyril herself has just concluded twelve books of Virgil, and she is now translating them into French. Brown (sarcastically): An unusual task, indeed, very unusual. Mrs. Allen (coldly but with emphasis): Mv Cyril, sir, is a very unusual girl, (continuing) Really, at times, I feel a deep motherly anxiety over the poor dear. I fear that, in her great attempts, she is depriving herself of something that every girl needs. Brown: Lay your fear aside, Mrs. Allen. No modern girl will intentionally do without that which she wants, let alone that which she needs. When 1 think of how the wretched creatures literally tug at a mail's purse-strings for their desired calories —well is it any wonder that the population of confirmed bachelors has increased? I— A voice from without: Mother! Mother! There ain’t no more jam in the cupboard! and Mother. Cyril is awful mad about somethin'. She tore up three papers and—(spying Brown) Oh, I say! (With this informal introduction, we are presented to the youngest of the Allens, Leslie, her father's “Little lady, her mother’s little baby ’ and her sister’s little pest.”) Mrs. Allen: This. Mr. Brown, is my youngest daughter. Leslie. 1 assure you. were you to sell tennis racquets or base-ball bats instead of books, you would find her a more ready customer. Brown: Oh, so you have taken a particular aversion to books. How un- fortunate ! Leslie: 1 never took nothin’ to any books! So don’t blame me! Brown: Blame you! My dear child, I— Leslie: You did too. You said what I took to books was unfortunate. Mrs. Allen: You must not allow yoursef to become so aroused. Such tem- perament is not to be admired in one your age. Leslie: You told Mrs. Clifton that you loved Cyril for her “artistic tempera- Paye Ninety-one ment.” Oh gee. I don’t understand Mothers at all! Brown: Mothers are not to be understood, Leslie, only to be loved. Mrs. Allen: What a pretty speech, Mr. Brown! But, I eslie. Mother would tolerate your temperament if you. too. had an ambition which would warrant it. Leslie: Oh! Ah! Mrs. Allen: Yes. dear? Leslie: Nothin’, I was just thinkin . Brown: Another unusual daughter of yours, Mrs. Allen? Leslie: You know what? 1 just betcha my new silk ribbon that Cyril took an ambition just so's she could show her temper without you gettin' awfully mad about it. I just bet she don’t know what she’s readin' half the time! Mrs. Allen: Leslie! That will do! If you will please excuse me, Mr. Brown, I will tell Cyril you arc here. (She Exits) Brown: What makes you believe your sister has no true ambition? Leslie: Well, you know she’s really awfully old. At her last birthday, she was mad ’cause Mother put one extra candle on her cake for good luck, and ;hat made twenty-three big ones. 1 think she’s just jealous! Brown: Jealous! Leslie (shaking her head wisely) : Yep. I do. ’cause Eva and ’Tilda are all married and Helen’s gonna get married pretty soon. And. well, our Cyril just ain’t. See ? Brown: Does she say she’s jealous? Leslie: Well, not exactly. But she says, Girls, you may take as your ambition, matrimony with all its troubles, trials and tribulations. But as for me, I will give my life to my career forever and ever.” Brown (laughingly): Amen ! (Now the time is ripe for the entrance of Cyril. Garbed in a very tailored suit, she appears very slight, very graceful, and alas for Mr. Brown, very attractive.) Cyril (advancing with great charm): How do you do. Mr. Brown? From your laughter. 1 find that you must he very amused at Leslie’s stories, (addressing Leslie). What were you telling him. dear. Leslie (looking up very embarrassed ): Er-Ah—I don’t think you’d understand this. Only we kin, can't we Mr. Brown? Brown: Yes indeed. Your sister and 1 seem to be kindred spirits. Miss Allen. By the way. I hear you are quite a linguist and are possessed by a great ambition. Cyril: Yes, Mr. Brown, it is my idea that the girls of to-day are devoting too much time to trivialities. But I shall dedicate mine to a career. 1 shall devote my life to the improvement of the whole world. ( Brown and Leslie exchange glances.) Brown: Have you had much success. Miss Allen? Cyril: Several of my most promising manuscripts were rejected. But I believe that the publishers were too busy to appreciate their value. Brown: Pshaw! How discouraging for a novice! Cyril: Not at all. I think that this little stanza will be very helpful not only at this period of my life but even when 1 have reached the magic door of fame. Oh, a trouble’s a ton, Or a trouble’s an ounce. Or a trouble’s just what you make it It isn’t the fact that you’re hurt so much It’s only how did you take it?” Pone Nincly-txvo Brown: Bravo! But I wonder if you think that you are the only young woman in the world with ambitions. '1 here have been thousands! And from all of them perhaps only one has succeeded. Unless you are especially talented, continuous writing without encouragement is really a waste of valuable time. Cyril: But when you have nothing else with which to occupy your time, when your former friendships have, through necessity been broken up— what then ? Leslie (whispering): See! What did 1 tell you? Brown: Why not try new friends. Here’s one who will offer voluntary crvice (stepping forward and saluting). 1 say let’s all three go for a walk and discuss this lady's alfairs. Perhaps we shall see a way out. Leslie: Gee! That's dandy! Cyril (glancing at the hooks of the agent): But your work? Brown: Even a man’ career is often to be disregarded when there are more promising opportunities. (They exit.) Curtain Evelyn Tronstein Feb. '27 THE SEA OF LIFE IIV are ships on the sea of life, With Heaven as our guide and light; Our destination is with Cod.— To Him we sail through day, through night. But, till we reach the journey's end. The days arc perilous and long; Battle we must with tide and 'wind, And bid farewell to pleasure's song. The 'waves are calm, as onward sails The ship, devoid of woe and care; The sky o'er head is clear and bright, No fear, no worry, no despair. But suddenly the 'wind blows cold; The 'waves dash hard against the ship. And it is tossed from side to side. Held in the storm's mad, powerful grip.

Evelyn Katz Page Ninety-three — THE OLYMPIAD — Vive L’Art Should there come a time in the future history of Glenville, when through some dire misfortune, our football team shall vanish into nothingness, when we shall forget how to play basketball, when our swimming team shall have long since been drowned, when we shall use our tennis racquets for snowshoes, when the Torch shall become a scandal sheet and the Reflector a joke book, and when the Debate Team becomes a thing of the past; then,—you can wager your last sou that our laurels will be saved by one thing,—our Art. It seems that when the other schools were cutting out tulips to adorn the windows at Easter-time, Glenville was already pinning on the blue ribbons, and when the others finally did begin to sketch a bit, we were building on an annex to hold the silver cups. So, you sec, it is not without some right of possession that we call it “our art,” and for this valuable option, you may thank a certain artistic trio of ladies who may be seen any day arrayed in smocks, meting out their precious knowledge of the lifework of a certain muse. To the uninitiated, may we present our talented triumvirate: Miss Bernstein, Mrs. Boyd, and Mrs. Bush. There are many who labor under the delusion that laurels in Art are easily won, that the ability to sketch a little is the open door to a “snap course, and mat without half trying one may sally nonchalantly down the artistic road to Fame and Fortune. We must shatter this delightful idyll when we say that there is nothing as terribly wrong. The average Art student is really a sort of Knight Errant on a mission of beautifying: a palette for his trusty steed, a pencil for his Excalibur, and a paint brush for his lance, llis coat of arms is a study in perspective, and his motto, “A thing of beauty is a joy forever. He must not shirk hard work, and must be willing to endure several disappointments before the first faint glimmerings of success. So, you see, the life of an art student is not such a path of roses after all. Therefore, it is with a certain degree of pleasure and pride that we compliment ourselves upon our satisfying position somewhere in the vicinity of the pinnacle of scholastic success in art, when we point out our silver cup and casually mention our poster awards, because we know that we have worked and struggled for a long, long time to attain this success. So, now, all we can do is to say once more, fervently and truthfully: “Thank you. Miss Bernstein. “Thank you, Mrs. Boyd. “Thank you, Mrs. Bush.

G 1 e n v i 11 e High School, with a slightly expanded chest, presents its Choral Club among the first. For it has reason to be proud of this selected group of singers whose fame has spread far beyond the school and city gates. Mr. Griffith J. Jones, its capable director, selected the most promising talent from his Boys’ and Girls' Glee Clubs a few years ago, and thus organized the Glenville High School Choral Club. As the older members graduate, he augments it yearly with a few chosen incoming pupils. Despite its short career, it has made for itself a reputation hard to exceed. Twice has it competed in the famous Welsh Eisteddfod Contests: twice has it won the first prize. Last year in Detroit, the Choral Club sang before a National Musical Convention which acclaimed it the finest high school chorus in the United States. This year, however, has been its most active, for in March the Choral Club produced Bradbury’s pretentious Cantata, “Esther.” The performance was carefully rehearsed, artistically produced, and splendidly sung. Many well-known people in musical and educational circles who are interested in the organization’s work, were present to hear “Esther.” Cast of “Esther” Queen Esther...............

Paye Nincty-srVi'ii The Choral Club If you wonder how the choral club manages to take the first prizes, make frequent trip , and produce a performance like ‘’Esther, ’ visit the music room any day, third period, and you will understand. For forty-five minutes everyday during regular school, the members, under supervision of Mr. Jones, work hard trying to sing acappela,—that is, to sing without the aid of a musical instrument,—produce a beautiful tone, “use their imagination”, (ask Mr. Jones what his favorite expression is) and listen to each other’s j arts, so that their performances may be as finished as possible. The main reason, however, for the Choral Club’s success, is its director, Mr. Griffith J. Jones. Without his constant supervision and leadership, the Choral Club could never have hoped to reach the goal it has ultimately attained. Let us express our sincere gratitude for his unceasing efforts and his splendid work; hoping that he will continue to perfect the Choral Club as he has in the past. Band SixcF. the time of the Glenville Girl’s Band, Glenville has never had a band that was widely known, although its military band did make good showings and had competent directors. Cleveland this year, however, has heard and appreciates Glenville’s band. It has had its affairs in the capable hands of Mr. William Hruby who directed it for the first time this term. Though not as large as most of the city high school organizations, it is easily their equal in pep and ambition. Its first appearance was at the school’s flag raising on Armistice Day. It also played twice in the Glenville auditorium, and took part in the concert given by this school’s musical organizations at Collinwood. The first outside engagement Page Yincty-cight was at a Chamber of Commerce dinner in the Public Auditorium. The dinner was free to the band members and not one was absent. The band played at the Doan Theatre, and furnished the music for the opening of the Glenville Branch Library. Perhaps two of the reasons for the band’s success are Johnny Schalois, a soprano tuba-player and Jack Presser, who boasts a delinquent clarinet, —one that wanders around and never behaves correctly. Then there is Charles Coltrin who believes a trumpet in the band is worth two in the pawn shop. Of course they are not altogether to blame for the band’s being a success, the ether reasons are: THE BAND Harry Abrams Irwin Auerbach Alfred Breun David Budin Charles Coltrin-Trcas.

For the next twelve years, one book a year was distributed until 1916 when the class became great and powerful, so that in their pride they needs must issue two books a year. In 1925, however, the classes reverted to their former custom; they had evidently discovered that in unity, there is strength. The combined brain power bestowed the name of Olympiad upon this lurftv youth of a score of years. The Olympiad's guardian angels are Mr. George Davies. Miss Mary McIIan-nan, Mrs. Bertha Bovd.

The Christmas party for the friendless children of The Jones Home, was only one of its many services to the community. Several meetings each year arc set aside for interesting beneficial health discussions. Throughout the year several speakers tell the girls of life in foreign countries. In addition to this, plenty of recreation is provided by hikes, parties, suppers and dances. Page One Hundred One Girl Reserve Code As a Girl Reserve I Will Re Gracious in manner.

Page One Hundred Two Reflector Reflector Out Soon”—for twelve years those words, well displayed in the halls of Glcnvillc. have brought to the student body an anticipation, whether of reading enjoyable stories, poems, essays and jokes written by them and their friends, or anticipation of the loss of fifteen cents,—anticipation nevertheless. To give the complete history of a publication for twelve years is a most difficult and almost impossible task. But to tell of the high spots of the life of a literary magazine is more within the realm of possibility. At various stages in the early life of Glenville, there have been attempts at producing a publication to stimulate the literary endeavor of the students. Often times English classes consolidated, chose the best stories, essays and plays that the members bad written and had a few typewritten or mimeographed copies made, and placed on the bulletin board. The school was then small enough to insure this method of circulation without serious injury to the students who gathered there to read it. These attempts were spasmodic, and, while tending to interest the students in literary work, could hardly be called forerunners of the present Reflector. The birth of the present magazine was rather an exciting and interesting event. One morning the Office was startled to find on its door step a circular called “The Board of Constructive Criticism.” In this circular, were various well-written articles offering suggestions for improving Glenville. The source of the circular was kept a mystery for about six months, during which The Board of Constructive Criticism” never failed to appear at regular intervals. Finally, one day, the mystery was solved. The circular was being printed bv five students of Glenville who felt the need of a school publication of some sort. Incidentally these five instigators of the ' B. of C. C.” have since become prominent in various lines of education. Page One Hundred Three In the year 1915, Glenvillc undertook to publish its first issue of the Reflector. The editor, Gordon Allport, was one of the five students who had issued the B. of C. C.” The Reflector flourished in its first years, disclosing some excellent literary talent in the school. Some of the material printed in these early issues has hardly been excelled. Ever since Glenvillc had been annexed to Cleveland, there had been an Annual edited by each individual class. In 1922, however, the classes resigned this duty of editing an Annual, to the Reflector. Each term found one issue of the Reflector devoted to a Commencement Issue having in it the pictures of the graduates, snapshots of the “darling Faculty.” writeups of the several clubs, and the various other things that make an Annual a success. In 1922 this plan of collaboration was abandoned, and each publication again resumed its individual work. In late years the Reflector has enjoyed an appreciative public in the student body of Glenvillc. Special issues celebrating the various holidays have lent pleasure to festive seasons. The turkey of Thanksgiving, St. Nick at Christmas the heart of Valentine, and the shamrocks of St. Patrick are all familiar covers of' the Reflector. To our faculty advisers we wish to express our appreciation. The art department. under the direction of Tina Bernstein, has done some splendid work and has added greatly to the attractiveness of the magazine. We also wish to thank the student body for its hearty support, and hope that it will continue to read with pleasure the literary talents of the school displayed in the Reflector. Le Cercle Francais La seance est ouverte!” Thus spake our charming president every second and fourth Monday of the school months. Instantly the Anglo-Saxon tongue, habits, and expressions, were forgotten for in the Glenvillc French Club we speak, think, and laugh in French exclusively. Otherwise it would desecrate the ideals of our predecessors, for did they not found this club with the purpose of furthering our acquaintance with France and its language?— And alas, how many of us need that “further acquaintance” with the latter, especially when its irregular verbs are like “pourvoir,” and “asseoir.” But come, let us forget French verbs and everything else unpleasant, for wc are now attending a social gathering composed of students who understand French grammar quite perfectly. (Just ask Miss Martin or Mr. Isore for details.) Yes, Le Cercle Frangais is exclusive; it does not tolerate beginners, nor those who have studied French or rather attended French classes for several years—and still know less than beginners. One must have studied that language three years and kept a grade-average of at least eighty-five, before he can be considered one of us. Then we are limited to a membership of not over thirty-five. So. you see, Le Cercle Frangais adheres to the theory of “the chosen but worthy few.” At every meeting a varied original programme is prepared for us. During the past year, slides of France have been exhibited; one act plays of popular French authors are read and dramatized by different ones of our group; letters from French correspondents to our members are read and all manner of charades, bons mots and jous have been tried upon our brave students. Of course, all this is done in French, while kindly advisers observe us, as we make mental and facial grimaces when trying to recall a forgotten work or make an impossible “in'' or “u” come out right. Page One Hundred Four Our members have made excellent choice in their selection of officers.

Pierre [sore. Here let us express our sincere gratitude to Miss Martin and M. Isore for guiding our club so successfully. Miss Martin has been a central figure in Le Luch Frangais for many years: we could not imagine a club without her constant presence and advice. And this year, we feel especially fortunate in having with us M. Isore, an exchange instructor from France, who has assisted Miss Martin in every way and has brought a real French spirit into our midst. Again we thank our faculty advisers for their guidance: for it is often they who work the hardest and get the least reward. Then in February when these wise men had imbibed all that Glenville could offer, they left us, and other officers, though younger replaced them with equal competence. Again the excellence of our judgment comes to light as we read this selection. Ruth Bialosky ................— . ........... President Lucy Nicholich ........................

Before 1745, there was no record of any publication for this school, since there was no need for one at that time. However, with the dawn of the year of 1920, the student body became intoxicated with its own “Home Brew , an imposing sheet with its two columns foaming with choice bits of news. Even before the strict enforcement of the Volstead Act, this awe-inspiring name was dropped, and contests were held to find a more dignified title for this very dignified paper. At the close of the year 1921, the name, Torch , was brought to light. How it has flashed in the limelight of the world ever since! S] ecial emphasis should be laid upon the method of management of this paper. It is controlled exclusively by the student body which is merely advised by a member of the faculty strangely called the Faculty Adviser. The gathering of news is the most important function of any publication, and every Friday usually finds the members in quite a state of frenzy and excitement in their efforts to secure the latest . The heart of a reporter is easily satisfied and every offering is acceptable to these cub gods. Everything, from the most efficient methods of gathering cocoamtts in Africa, to the most modern hair dress for our flappers, is found within the pages of this school paper. Such great information is stored herein that it is suspected that the new World’s Almanac of 1949 will humbly beg the cooperation of the Torch in corroborating its material tor its next issue. All we can say is, “Wait and see. Page One Hundred Six Hi Press OFFICERS c iF THE HI PRESS CLUB Name School Position Gilbert (.‘lark .... ............ Lincoln ... ... . ...

The organization has at all times a very large membership. All board members of school publications are automatically members of the Hi Press Club. The officers of the organization serve from September t February, and arc replaced by new officers who. in turn, serve from February to June. The purpose of the Hi Pre is to further the interests of the students along literary lines, and in so doing prepare them for work on publications, now and later. At the head of this organization we have Mr. Frederich Aldrich of Glenville. a capable and reliable English instructor, whose efforts are helping to place school publications on a jjedestal never yet attained in Cleveland. The meetings of the Hi Press Club are full of interest. A gathering is held every three weeks at a different school each time. At these meetings are various types of programs which usually include a talk by some leading Cleveland journalist. In the past four years, the Hi Press Club has accomplished much, and its encouraging and beneficial advice is felt in all literary endeavors. It is the hope of all concerned that the Hi Press Club will continue with the work it plans to do in the future in the same fashion that it has worked in the past. Page One Hundred Seven — THE OLYMPIAD — The Student Council THE Student Council has had for its main activity for several years, the awarding of Honor Keys to graduates. The stopping of this custom practically put an end to all activity for over a semester. The council now has several things in mind which will in all probability materialize. The idea of having the Student Council gradually take over the hall duty system is being worked on. Mr. Ellsworth, who has charge of the present system, is the new faculty adviser of the council and will help it considerably in carrying out such a plan. Another project in mind is that of instituting an honor study hall system in Glcnvillc. Such a system has been worked out in other schools with excellent results and ought to be equally successful here. The whole council has been divided into committees, each with its special work to do. This year it has sponsored several dances and pencil sales with decided success. The council is still divided into two assemblies—-deliberative and general. This plan seems to be working very well.

It’s just the student hostesses doing their duty. 1 suppose an explanation is necessary here. What are the Student Hostesses? Now don’t get the impression that we arc policemen because we are not. emphatically not. W e just want to promote order in die lunchroom, for certainly there is a need for some good hard work in keeping order. We try our best to do this. First of all. we have our meetings on Wednesday mornings every other week, at 7:45. Yes, we open the building. Here the captain of each lunch hour gives her report on the week’s proceedings. Occasionally we have some business to talk about, but 1 should say this is very rare. Each girl is assigned certain duties.—usually three girls take care of the line, keeping it in order. One girl takes care of the dishes and trays; another, the lockers; and one, the washroom. So you see everything is taken care of. This is worked in two shifts. The first shift is just half the period, and the second is the last half. In this way, the lunchroom is kept in order all the time. This is only for the girls side. On the whole the student hostess group is doing its bit for the school. Page One Hundred Ten Dramatic Club “If you touch her. I'll shoot you! “If you shoot me. I'll shoot first! Shoot him ami I'll kill you! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! On. it’s only a rehearsal of “Pot Boiler,’' tme of the plays Dramatic Club presented this season. There were several others, among them. “Columbine” and “Where but in America.” The first, “Pot Boiler, is a rip-roaring comedy about a puffed-rice headed playwright and director in one. who goes through many agonies and contortions to get the players to do justice to his play. Finally the curtain is rung down on the grand muddle where everybody is about to shoot everybody else. This play was taken to Roosevelt Junior High School for an afternoon performance. “Columbine” is a short sketch of two girls, one a candle and the other a firecracker. The latter, a femme du monde warns her room-mate, Miss Innocence, against the wiles of men, but thanks to our lucky stars and the playwright, the innocent one’s dream bubble does not burst and everything ends tra-la-la-ly. “Where but in America” ought to be changed to “Where but in Every Household.” It is the well-known story of an all too-popular housemaid who cannot serve dinner without being interrupted several times to answer phone calls. And nothing small about this one, either; no iceman or electrician for her! In the end. in fact, it turns out that the man who caused the dinner to be spoilt and the husband to wax irate is none other than a prominent architect of the city, the same one who was going to build a new home for the couple. Oh. these maids! Most of the stage work this year, both construction and managing, has been done by the hardworking and studious Warren Dillon. It would be natural to put a ( ?) after the word “studious” but Warren is studying—the stage. We mustn’t forget George Frankcll, either, when we talk about our stage crew. Pat)C One Hundred Eleven And then with spring here at last, and the annual play in the air. all Dramatic Club members rolled up their leeves to help make “Belinda the biggest sensation of the year.

Benjamin. Captain Roland Sherer, Alternate Negative Gustav Reich Frieda Tucker Samuel K. Gcrson, Captain Austin Klein, Alternate Debate was given a new vigor and stimulus this year. There was a demonstration of great enthusiasm and interest on the part of the student body of Glenville; the debaters renewed their efforts to live up to the first-class standards of debate, cherished for so many years at this school. Aside from a victory and defeat standpoint, the most noteworthy event of this season was the restoring of Glenville’s old-time glory in debate. At the very outset of the semester, coach Ross C. Brown was confronted with the task of building a team to occupy the place left vacant by the winning team of the presiding year. The customary tryouts were held, in which members of the Debate Club participated. A faculty committee aided Mr. Brown in selecting the teams. The captaincies were awarded to Milton L. Benjamin and Samuel K. Gerson, who were members of the victorious negative team of last year. The teams representing Glenville in the Quad League this year were composed of the following members: Affirmative,—Milton G. Benjamin, Captain; Jules Hertz, Arthur Cohen, and Roland Sherer, Alternate. Negative,—Samuel K. Gerson, Captain; Gustav Reich, Frieda Tucker, and Austin Klein, alternate. The Quad League debated this question: Resolved, that the borough system be established in Cuyahoga County.” Thus far, Glenville has an even score, winning one debate, losing the other. It is hoped that debates in the near future will bring our school to the top of the league, in decisions-won. Page One Hundred Thirteen ____— THE O L Y M P I A D — The Debate Club is an oganization composed of Glenville Students who are actively interested in the furthering of debating interests in the school. The club issues, at the beginning of each semester, a call to the student body for try-outs. Speeches are delivered, and the Club admits to its membership those students who have shown sufficient merit according to the judgment of Club and faculty committees. Participation in Debate Club activities is beneficial to the members in many ways. The Club strives to develop among its members the ability to write and deliver speeches, and the power to engage, actually and practically, in forensic discussion. Miss Virginia W hitworth, dramatics instructor, and Mr. Ross C. Brown, Debate Coach, were of valuable assistance to aspiring debaters. The Debate Club also serves remarkably well as a source from which to draw material for the varsity debate teams. The administration of Debate Club activities was carried on in a particularly efficient manner this year. The members of the Club aided the varsity debate team in carrying on its booster-tag sales. The debate team introduced these sales to stimulate interest in debating, to “restore Glenville’s old-time glory in debate.” The response of the Student body was at once immediate and enthusiastic.

Page One Hundred Fifteen THE OLYMPIAD — Basket-Ball CONSIDERING the fact that we had a new coach and a green team, Glen-ville can well call this basketball season a success. John W Coss. formerly of Reserve, succeeded ex-coach Bliley as teacher of the Glenville five. Under his able tutelage. Glenville looked formidable, rising highest when it defeated Lincoln in a thrilling game. All went well until graduation, when “Pete” Weiss and Alfy” Klein were lost to the team. But as one day succeeds another, so new stars arose to shine. Under the steadying and guiding influence of Captain “Bo” Miller, a player who at all times arose to the occasion, the new men were able to show their best ability. Coach Coss and Captain Miller instilled basketball into their pupils, the team striking a winning streak that was stopped only by Collinwood, a strong quintet which tied for the Senate championship. The team showed its real strength in the annual Northeastern Ohio Basketball Tournament. It first defeated Shaw, to whom it had previously lost; then if downed Latin, also previously victorious over Glenville. In the Cleveland finals, they proceeded to dispose of Cleveland Heights, considered one of the strongest teams in the city. So they journeyed to Akron, playing like a team and looking the part of one. Messrs. Silverstein, Miller, Denk, Morris, Aaron, and Grossman enacting the leading roles. All Glenville may well be proud of our team, for it made the best showing of all Cleveland high schools at Akron, losing in the semi-finals to Youngstown South. In conclusion, let us not forget “Kelly McBride and “Scotty” Robertson, the managers of this year’s squad. Those men, in their quiet manner, did as much to make this season a success as any other two persons. Page One Hundred Sixteen Football Handicapped by ineligibility, and a lack of proper equipment for his team, Coach Conrad did well to put out the lighting eleven that he did. A hard worker and a fine sport. Mr. Conrad will be missed next year, when he will give football in favor of his practice at law. Coach Julius Colonius will succeed Conrad as head football coach. The following men received letters for their season’s work on the football team: Captain Vanderwerkin. Ross. Williams. Morris. White. E. Dennis, Whalen, Chilicutt, Spear, Moss, Maher, Slavin. Weiss. D. Aaron, G. Levine, S. Landskroner and Manager Leckie. Of this group. Captain-elect Aaron. Whalen, Morris, White and Levine are the best looking prospects for next year's varsity eleven. Chess THE purpose of this Club shall he to establish a spirit of friendliness among comes to chess as played here. True to the nature of all champions, they were too modest to advertise their good work, and most of the school failed to hear much about it until a championship cup was presented the school. For three successive years, the chess team that represented Glenvillc has won undisputed claim to the Greater Cleveland chess championship. They have met in competition all the best high school chess teams in Cuyahoga county and have yet to suffer a setback. In fact, the Glenvillc pawn-chasers have done so well that the Cleveland News presented them with a beautiful silver cup for their efforts. The News conducts an annual chess tournament, and as stated above, Glenville has emerged victorious on no less than three successive occasions. The captain and star man on this year’s team is David GelTcn, who was the second highest point-scorer in the tournament. Cleveland newspapers had nothing but praise for his work throughout the season. He has proved himself a worthy successor to Sigmund Herskowitz, last year's captain and now one of Cleveland's leading players. As evidenced by the scores of Glenvillc's various meets, the captain was not the only star on the Glenville squad. Every regular player compares favorably with other Cleveland high school lads. In no match did Glenville lose more than one game. This alone indicates the quality of the other players. The other star members of the team were Steven Saas. and Henry Weiss.

Philip Hershkowitz. Glenville Tennis Team It is only within the last live years or so that tennis has made much headway as an interscholastic sport at Glenville. Starting as an insignificant minor sport, tennis has gained in popularity year by year, until now it ranks alongside of track as a major spring sport. Besides the regular spring schedule with the Senate and independent teams of Cleveland, the tennis squad enjoys the privilege of practice throughout the year in the indoor courts of Miles Standish. The Red and Black netters have been undisputed leaders in the Senate circuit, having gone through three successive reasons without a single loss against them. The competition for the city title has always been a triangular affair, with Lake-wood, Cathedral Latin, or Glenville coming’out on top. Insomuch as tennis is regarded as a major sport at both of those schools, with a great and enthusiastic crowd of followers, and with the use of their own private courts, it is no discredit to Glenville that it succumbs to the enemy once in a while.

Glenville’s scoring ability, which established a record of 28 points won against only 12 lost, is one which will give future teams a high mark at which to aim. The game lost to Latin. Catholic champs, was a real hard-fought battle, only the last set deciding the outcome. Blanking West High and Spencerian, and permitting only one point out of a possible five to East Tech. West Tech and the Alumni, is certainly a feat to be proud'of. Captain “Steve” Saas has been the outstanding man in Glenville tennis for the last three years, playing third singles when only a 10B, and first, since his junior year. During all this time he has been undefeated in Senate play, and has also been an important figure in scholastic and municipal circles. His loss in June will be a great blow to the team, for unless some one capable of replacing him, will be discovered, he will be sadly missed. “Eddie” Brown has been one of the mainstays of the team for the last two years, having made his letter as player--manager twice. He was a very dependable player, and usually managed to come out on top. As he graduates in February, he will be lost to the team, and will be very hard indeed to replace. Earl Smith is another letter man lost in the midyear graduation. Through his steady, reliable work as one of the best doubles players of the school, he was always a big factor in Glenville’s victories. “Eddie’ Lubisky ended his career of two seasons with the squad in February, leaving the team weaker by the loss of a good man. He played lw th singles and doubles equally well, and acquired the reputation among the enemy as a player to be feared. “Berny Levey is one of the few to make a letter in the sophomore term. Broer and Saas being the only others known to us who have achieved this in recent years. He has two more years in which to help Glenville teams to victory. It is unfortunate that he has been out of the game so much because of illness. Let’s wish him better health, so that he may help lead the future teams to further glory. Two of the most valuable finds of the year arc Milton Sachs and “Bill” Mclvcr, both seniors graduating with the June class. “Bill” is probably going to fill one of the singles positions while the cool and steady playing of Sachs will be a great asset to the squad. It’s too bad they had not tried out for the team in their sophomore or junior terms. Besides Levey, next year’s team will be built around little “Phil” Ilershkowitz, whose motto is: “The bigger they are. the harder they fall.” Morris Kaplan and “Scotty” Jones are recruits who expect to make good in ’27 and then come back and star in ’28. They will have a very capable caretaker in Manager Marvin Cohen, who will return for part of the year at least. In regard to the future, Manager Cohen believes that the outlook is most promising. The team will not be a very experienced one, as a number of the boys have graduated in midyear, but whatever they may lack in experience, they will more than make up in fight and spirit. Led by Captain Saas, they will encounter all the teams which they had played last year, and besides, will probably meet Central, John Adams, and some out-of-town team. Plans are now being formed to send a singles and doubles team to Columbus, to represent Glenville in the Ohio State High School Tournament. Let us hope that all these plans will come to pass and that Glenville’s tennis teams continue to be as successful as they have been in the past. Page One Hundred Twenty The Gym Leaders’ Association The Gym Leaders Association or the Black Shirt Gang.” as Coach Colonius humorously calls them, is composed of some of Glenville's best athletic talent. These boys, under the direction of their adviser. Coach Colonius, have gained much efficiency on the athletic equipment in the gym. They have also received instruction in leading the gym classes, and have now reached the stage where they can conduct the classes almost as well as Coach himself. After practicing during the afternoon three times a week, they have become excellent performers on the buck, the parallel bars, the horse, the bar. and the tumbling apparatus. Under the leadership of Johnny Rudd the boys recently held an exhibition in the gym. Many of the spectators and judges present viewed with admiration the stunts of the boys. Johnny Rudd, the head leader, was highly complimented on his athletic work, lie is one of the city’s best gymnasts, excelling on the parallel bars. Johnny has a bright future in store for him should he follow this line of athletics. All in all. the boys should be highly complimented for their work in the gym. They have practiced strenuously and are now a great help to Coach Colonius, who is kept busy with spring football. Besides aiding Coach, they are greatly strengthening themselves, for after training down in the gym for a few weeks they are in fine physical condition. Although the Gym Leaders’ Association is only a year old. it is progressing rapidly and has a bright future in store for it. By next year, it is hoped it will be more firmly organized for now the boys have a foundation on which to work.

All girls who have faithfully followed out their training rules, and who have played in at least one-half of the tournament games, receive six points toward the three hundred necessary for the “G.” One of the most popular sports among the girls is basketball. Besides regular practice, these basketball aspirants often watch the varsity in hopes of getting “pointers which they may have use tor. A sense of clean playing and good sportsmanship is especially essential for a good basketball game. This season is divided into two parts, the first for the 10th. 11th and 12th grades, and the second for the incoming sophs. A less strenuous sport, but one which requires as much practice as the others is volleyball. This sj ort takes up a very small part of the athletic season. Baseball is the paramount sport in the spring season. During this season, the girls have the opportunity of showing up their brethren. Many of the girls have developed into veritable Babe Ruths.” Swift pitching and snappy playing usually characterize the enthusiastic teams. Alcoholic massages and rub-downs proclaim the strenuousness of the track-season. Again. Gordon Park is the scene of this sport. Once a week, the girls may be seen carrying the discus, the shot put. baseball and basketballs (implements of war) out to their practice grounds. Along with the throwing events, there are the 50. 75 and 100-yard dashes, and the relays. To earn a field and track letter, one must make at least three places in the meet. Page One Hundred Twenty-two The Girls’ Sport League GIRLS have had a difficult time making a place for themselves in the athletic field. Jlenville, in spite of its poor equipment. has managed to provide nearly every sj ort for its girls. The Girl’s Sports League has played a great part in bringing together all girls interested in hockey, basketball. volleyball, baseball, tennis, track, and various other sports. Aside from the physical advantages derived from these sports, the girls have an opportunity to earn for themselves the much coveted athletic “G. The girls who gain these letters are not merely efficient in athletics but also in their scholarship, for to be eligible for any sport, their grades must be above the passing mark. Strength and skill arc the requirements of the good hockey player. As in all other sports, the teams are organized according to classification of the girls. After about two weeks of steady practice, the teams are in condition for the ____— THE OLYM P_ I_A — _ Girls’ Sports League Officers fur Fall Term: Ethel MacLearie ... President Belle Fishbein..

In the fall, these young Amazons seek the Gordon Park wilderness to indulge in hockey. In the winter season the gymnasium is occupied until all hours by enthusiastic aspirants for baseball fame. Winter closes in a blaze of glory with the volley ball tournament. Spring is always conducive to outdoor sports. 1 lie hat and ball are again taken from the cupboard, dusted, and put into use.

Besides the seasonal sports, there is the apparatus test, for which there is constant practice. Swimming and hiking are yearly activities. For all these, if the participant has been faithful to the rules, points are given. As a grand reward, the “Big G is awarded to the athlete who has earned three hundred points.

The addition of a sub-board to the Olypiad staff is the valuable improvement referred to. The Sub-board is a representative body. Selected members from the 10 A, 11 B, 11 A and 12 B classes, comprise this auxiliary group. In the past, it has been the custom to have the Olympiad a senior class l ook. True, contributions from underclassmen were occasionally accepted, but as individual and not as class contributions. The Sub-board has encouraged lower class contributions. It is our opinion that a sub-board, embodying class representation and class interest, will serve as an incentive to literary endeavor, and as a stimulus to underclass enthusiasm for the Olympiad. In the establishment of a sub-board, those resj onsiblc had a dual purpose in mind,—first, to have the lower classmen associated with the annual organization, so that they might work efficiently and cooperatively in the publication of future year books; second, to stimulate more class interest among sophomore and junior students in the production of an annual. The Sub-board will not only give the lower classes representation, but prepare them for organized work. We anticipate that those who conferred upon us the singular honor of a position on the sub-board will not be disappointed. We feel confident that when the time comes when we shall be called upon in the production of future annuals, we may be weighed in the balance and not be found wanting. The members of the Sub-board follow; George Segal, editor William Hanna George Meckler, ass’t editor Henry Kretchmer Arthur Bennet Lucy Kruchkoff Ruth Bialosky Franklyn Marks Stanley Goodman Sam Taylor THE SNOW MYTH Twas summer on Olympus; The Gods weren't satisfied.

This invocation is dedicated to the present 11A class (long may it reign). For the June class of '28 fairly scintillates with gems of humanity, and if we are not future empire-builders, at least may we understand their aims. You will have readily and correctly conceived this paper as a tribute to ourselves. Lest I wax too eloquent upon the subject of our own greatness, I must pull my fancy from the realms of imaginative glorification and devote myself to a monotonous inventory of sordid realities. May I show you, gentle peruser of a boresomc manuscript, the burden of school life shouldered by the present llA’s? To begin with, (and you must excuse this cursory commencement, for I am in a spherical solid, trying to find a way out), let us take publications. Reflector! get up on the block.

Senior Sponsors The chief aim of the Senior Sponsor movement is to aid the new Glenvillites to accustom themselves more easily to conditions here. It was introduced into Glenville some years ago by Miss Davies. She had observed the system in Chicago, and decided it would he a good institution to establish here. Accordingly, the movement was started. A teacher, who was to have charge of it, was placed at its head. Under the system, various methods were used. At one time the entire senior class were made Senior Sponsors. On another occasion a committee of three 12B’s was chosen to assist the teacher in charge. Other systems were also used, but none proved to be successful. Under the system, many schemes to help the sophomores were initiated. Sponsors wore badges to distinguish them from the rest of the students and to enable the sophomore to ask them for aid. Senior Sponsor —Soph parties were held. The girls’ affair was usually successful, but the boys’ was usually a flop”. In February ’27 the old system was abolished and a new one put in its place to bolster it up and make it function with greater ease and better results. Under the new plan the movement was given over entirely to the students. Twelve boys and twelve girls were chosen from the senior class. All had to have college grades in all their subjects. The girls took for their adviser Miss Sutton, one of the 12B Class advisers, while the boys took Mr. Ilarnish for theirs. The sponsors met and elected their officers. George Meckler was elected chairman of the boys, Harry Blank, vice-chairman, and Louis Schwartz, secretary. The girls elected Mary Wilson, chairman; Katherine Heinrich, vice-chairman; and Joyce Bookatz, secretary. Then they went into the work with a smash and made the best success ever. Bulletins were printed and distributed to the Sophs when they first came in. These bulletins gave a list of the school's most important personages and its rules and regulations. All the sophomores were to be held responsible for the information in these. Also the sponsors wore ribbons which designated them as such. The sophomores were to ask these the way around school if they were bewildered. This also went over with a great success. Later on, each sponsor was assigned a definite number of sophomores to look after. Each sponsor was to know his Sophs intimately and they were to go to him with their troubles. Various methods to help the Sophs and give them enjoyment were devised. Coaching classes taught by the sponsors were started. The teachers handed in the names of those behind in their work and the sponsors coached them in their free periods. The office force was greatly pleased with their work. Parties and a fox and hound race were planned. An idea of the fun enjoyed at the party can be had bv looking at the program. A kiddie car race was run off between the tallest sponsor and the shortest sophomore. A beauty contest also was staged. For the first time in the history of Glenville. the senior sponsor movement was successful under the management of the pupils. Let us hope that this movement and its success continues.

As he stands there, his fool's cap tipped rakishly to one side, his long unkempt hair struggling from beneath it, and his plump hands plucking the strings of his ancient guitar, he makes a striking picture. Yet it is not this, but the face that provokes my interest. It is the very incarnation of the spirit of the fool; though always there is an elusive something behind that grinning countenance that is difficult to read. Tt may be malice, sheer mirth, or mere idiocy. To me there is something vaguely sinister and formidable in the upward slant of his small eyes, and the twist of his smiling lips. Perhaps evil thoughts lurk there, only partly revealing themselves on his face. Some may interpret that queer expression as that of a half-wit. for in spite of the cleverness of those old-time jesters, there surely must have been some who had a streak of lunacy hidden in their make-up to account for their queerly comical behavior. Perhaps that is what makes me feel disturbed and uneasy as 1 look at the portrait. For the look on his visage is not laughter; it is indescribable, inscrutable.

Grace Bchiicr, June, ’28 Page One Hundred Thirty _______________— T H E O L Y M P I A D —______________ ■H-HtH-i- •J--J-+4-+ The Sixth Age If Hesiod had lived to witness our present generation, he most assuredly would have added another age to his live ages nt man; and this one undoubtedly would have been the age of Singing Syncopators. 1 can vow that Shakespeare never would have said that music has its powers to soothe if he had known what was in store for us twentieth century mortals of the sixth age, the age of dead harmony and lamenting souls. Evidently man must be again going back to a primitive appreciation of nature, for all our Jazz Babies’ are lamenting, complaining, and disclosing all their joys and sorrows to the buds, the bees, the flowers, and the trees. The Blackbird and the Bluebird have received more farewells in the past few years than the whole United States did when our boys went across the Atlantic. If I were one of these Syncopators, I would fear the day of reckoning above all else, for what the moon would tell would 1 e enough to send me to Hades for the rest of my life in the hereafter; for the lies 1 deal in, for those stolen midnight kisses, for those broken promises (all in song). It is truly heart breaking the way these young Singers (if so they can be called) miss their southern mammies, but it seems a disgrace to me the way they bring up their mammies’ name in songs tumultuously mixed with hey, hey— I'm on my way home—and baby faces. It seems to me that if I were ever as lonesome (as they appear to be) that I couldn’t bear the separation any longer. 1 would pack (both shirts) and leave for my mammy’s empty arras. These boo hoo’ers do pack but it seems as if they never arrive. I've heard it rumored that some of the southern state legislatures are trying to enforce a weeping bill which states that all mourning mammies may weep only at certain stated intervals (these being contrary to high tides so as to keep the rivers in check for the public safety). This is indeed a fine platform for some voting aspiring politicians and I am sure that if he ran on it, he would carry the votes by thousands. Often some young broken hearted fellow will be singing a song of exalted bliss and contentment when of a sudden he reminds himself of a forgotten mammy and he ejaculates heartburning mamniy-mammys that could change hearts of stone into plastic butter. And. then again, sometimes they cry themselves into hysteria of the most terrible kind. If Jazz outlives our present generation, singing will in time supplant all modes of physical exercise; and the being with the most perfect voice will be the most physically fit. Xo longer docs the singer carry himself faultlessly erect as a soldier in arms, as they did back in 1800 but now he squirms, and twists, and pleads on his knees like a guilty convict about to be sentenced to death of the most agonizing type, picked to pieces, piece bv piece. He wrings his hands in sorrow, he pulls his hair in despair, lie musses his clothes as a result of unceasing mental torture. These actions sometimes tire the actor to such an extent that he is hardly able to proceed. Yet. in spite of the over abundance of these nonsensical “Syncopators,” I am glad that there still remains one place in which the old school of music still exists; and that place is Glenville High, that famous high school that is unceasingly turning out greater and more famous singers and musicians of the old school of music.

You will recall these singers both made their formal debuts in that opera many years ago at Glenvillc High School. Despite the pleading of Emanuel Rosenberg, general manager of the Glcnville Opera Company, and the tears of the peace-loving Miss Nar-osny, opera singer, the battle between Miss Xehamkin and Harold Price continued. Price Pays for Curtain Call The bass paid heavily for that alleged extra curtain call, for his blue eyes that have caused such a great part of his feminine audience to flutter, were suddenly turned black. A box of make-up. a shoe, and an Esther score were thrown at him by the angered soprano. Poor Price could not appear in court but so nobly did his lawyer, Milton Klein, plead his case that Judge Vaughn was forced to penalize the unruly diva. She was sentenced to Sing Sing for 3 days.

He battled for right. Taught that justice is might. But Itis eloquent speech didn't work. His metaphors were quite fantastic, And some phrases very sarcastic; If his verba! blows Could be felt on the nose We’d resort to surgery, plastic. His paragraphs, lengthy and short Were tiresome to the great court. Though in each there’s a thought To conclusion well brought, Ilis talk didn’t appeal to their sort. There was nothing but truth in each line And his touches of humor were fine. By his Irishman’s wit, He sure did his bit To save both your freedom and mine.

Everyone said their courtship was like a Midsummer Night’s Dream. When Romeo proposed to Juliet she simply answered, “As You Like ft.” So the couple planned to be married on the Twelfth Night of the month. lie bought a beautiful ring from the Merchant of Venice. The wedding day soon arrived and the best man and maid of honor were Antony and Cleopatra, the ushers The Two Gentlemen of Verona, and the reception was given by the Merry Wives of Windsor. The couple lived in a place called Hamlet. But Romeo had a terrible time after marriage. Juliet’s temper was like The Tempest and her husband’s chief occupation was The Taming of the Shrew. Before long these lovers had a quarrel. The cause of this terrible catastrophe was Much Ado About Nothing. Their wonderful courtship proved to be Love’s Labor Lost. Their parents said that their marriage resembled a Comedy of Errors. They gave each other Measure for Measure. Finally the great Roman conquerer, Julius Caesar, brought about a reconciliation. And their friends, with a sigh of relief, said, All's Well That Ends Well.” Page One Hundred forty Mildred Baer I7eb., ’27. The Class of June 1927 Lo and behold! Here begins the unravelling of the complicated history of the illustrious class of June of the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-seven. Of course, we won’t mention the fact that we entered Glenville in September, 1924. because that would only give this remarkable class chronicle the ancient, time-worn introduction that is customary among the mediocre and ordinary class histories. Also we do not think it necessary to waste space ($) and printer's ink ($) in telling how we were so nobly ushered into the historical portals of dear old Glenville. We will not attempt to make your eyes flow copiously, dclugically, and fioodily over the mere sentimental hokum, pokum, and soakum of fond memories. We also will not bother to narrate the most decided increase that the honor and merit rolls underwent when our class (ahem) put forth its studious, serious, scholastic elTort. The activities of this school (meaning Glenville, of course) are diversified and many, but the illustrious members of our class partook of these activities with a wim, wigor, and witality unparalleled in the history of the school. Since our space is so limited, and since our last year in school outshone the two preceding ones, even though they had a most brilliant lustre, we will discontinue our raucous ravings about our pre-senior years. This, gentle reader, (if such there be) is passing from the ridiculous to the sublime, or in the words of the proletariat, getting down to brass tacks. The culmination of our spirit was the concrete organization in our eleven A semester under the guidance of Miss Elsie C. Davies. The House of Representatives, consisting of fifteen members, was elected by the class at large. After a mass meeting of the class, officers were elected. Thus, our class learned its first principles of democratic organization. The new administration immediately began plans to establish the class of June ’27 as a solemn entity. As previous classes enjoyed a first social function, we also had to begin sometime. This sometime was a rather unique, remarkable, and glorious affair, to say the least, (remember, we are only saying the least). The scene of our memorable Junior Prom was Shore Acres, which afforded ample stamping ground for the cavortings of the more athletic of our companions. Games, cats (remember the box lunches, fellows-) and dancing featured the program of the day, and what a day it used to be! Since the year was quite usual in the fact that it had a summer, our junior year was terminated by the summer vacation. By the way. there was also an autumn to this year and many were the smiles (ha ha) which refulgently blossomed forth on the opening days of our 12B semester. After a short delay, intermingled with the arranging of programs, choosing subjects, and lunches, our class held a final election which showed that our organization had faith in its previous choices, for the results were practically the same. Miss Eleanor Healy was re-elected President. Mr. Sanford Eaffy was re-elected Vice-President. Mr. George Vaughn received the office of Secretary (oh! what minutes, we're still looking for them), Mr. Max Axelrod, our previous secretary, was elected Treasurer, and Mr. Sam K. Gerson was re-elected as Chairman of the Entertainment Committee. To introduce for the first time the remarkable expression, a good time was had by all” at our numerous social functions. We have felt in the course of this frenzied assembly of hieroglyphics, that only a unique class history befitted the uniqueness of our class. e feel now that we must terminate our ravings with unique .abruptness. Flourishes and otherwise are generously bequeathed to posterity (which may not be so unique). Sanford Eaffy and Samuel K. Gerson, amateur historians.
