WRIGHT, BEATRICE YOUNG, ROSEMARY YOUNG, MARY WROUGHTON, GRACE YOUNIE, VIRGINIA VALEDICTORY ■ Our January '32 Class is pausing between two doors. The one from which we have just emerged is slowly closing. We pause for one last look back across the four years of laughter and learning before the latch is shut and we are forced to try the door beyond. ■ We are scattering into a world of economic and social problems. With us will go the fine brotherhood and high ideals taught us during our life at Grant. ■ We shall not forget the ideals of sportsmanship stamped upon us by eight seasons of clean athletic competitions. Success and defeat have been ours for the moment; may goodwill and fair play be ours forever. ■ Encouragement and understanding from the teachers of this institution have given us faith and determination. We cannot forget our debt to those firm envoys of right. And now at the commencement season we have learned the lesson of Gratitude. Our teachers have held out to us the staff of optimism. We must carry it with us during our long journey ahead. If we follow the paths opened to us by their training we shall emerge on a highway made broad by the understanding of brotherhood. ■ Let us adopt the creed of Oregon's poet laureate, Edwin Markham, as our creed: There is a destiny that makes us brothers: All that we send into the lives of others ■ None goes his way alone: Comes back into our own. 10 ACTIVITIES ACKERSON.

REVIEWS OF RECENT INTERVIEWS Assignment: Look over, interview and write up some of the outstanding members of the January '32 Class of Grant High School. ■ Well, now here is an assignment I don’t mind. It is always interesting to interview a celebrity. ■ I picked on JACK PATRICK first. He is president of the Class, and an outstanding one too. But I understand he was president of his grammar school class also. They must believe in the divine right of presidents here at Grant. Well, Mr. Patrick, will you tell me about your class? Do you find it difficult to head successfully such a group of students? ■ Oh, no, it's the easiest thing in the world. You know, I think our class must be remarkably able. I haven't had the slightest trouble in putting anything across. I just appoint the committees, and leave it up to them. Every committee has done more than its share, and has proved to be very dependable. ■ Do you think you'd rather be president of high school Seniors than of a grammar school graduating class? ■ There's no comparison. In grammar school the teachers did everything — here the students have their own organization. But the faculty has been very kind to us, and helped us in every possible way. They have helped make our class one of the best ever to graduate from Grant, or so I think. ■ And then I accosted JIM LUDLAM in his lair, to find him surrounded by piles of pennies, nickels, quarters, and shiny, bright dollars. There came a faint muttering of seven million, eight million, ten million, and I knew that Jim was somewhere in the immediate vicinity. Mr. Ludlam is head of the banking system at Grant; and Miss Young, the faculty adviser for banking, says that Jim is her joy and light. 'MMM, nice. Oh! Mr. Ludlam, when you finish negotiating that loan with those two nickels, would you tell me how, and if, the present depression has hit Grant's banking system? ■ Well, the number of pennies has increased greatly. If all the pennies were placed end to end, they would go around Grant High three and one-half times, and maybe there would be a few left over for the Bowl. But the depression, or panic as it has now become, has hit our banking. The graphs have gone down, compared to last year's, though some rooms have kept up a good average. But if it doesn't get any worse, I think we shall be able to stand the strain. I only hope that some day Grant will have a trust fund of pennies for those who forget their money on banking day. You never can tell, perhaps such a thing will come to be — but there would probably be more cases of absentmindedness then than there are now. ■ And next is JEAN BURNETT. I understand Jean has practically made a record of something or other for representing the students of Grant and of her class. She has a remarkable ability for leadership, and a faculty for making and keeping friends. I wonder if she would tell me what office she enjoyed the most during her school career. Would you, Jean? • It would be hard ho choose. I've enjoyed, and benefited by, every office I have had the opportunity to hold. I really think, though, that the office I'm filling this year, vice-president of the Student Body, is the most interesting. It's considerable more work, but the work isn't tedious.” • Just what does the office entail in the way of duties, Jean? ■ Well, I'm in charge of all the clubs, granting charters and approving the constitutions. I also take care of the trophy case, with all the cups and athletic awards. I really have learned a lot about athletics and athletic awards since I have held this office. It's very interesting. Oh, very interesting. ■ RAMA LILLIE and MAXINE RANKIN represent the girls at Grant. Rama has been a past president of the Girls' League, and has been Dean McGaw's right and left hand. Everyone knows and likes Rama. She is that kind of a girl. And Maxine is the present president of the League, and Miss McGaw's chief assistant. It was due to Maxine that the annual Girls' League show was such a success. It would be enlightening to hear their comments on the girls of Grant. Rama, what are your feelings? ■ I loved working with the girls. They co-operated in every possible way, and did everything asked of them. I've made many friends, and become acquainted with many girls during my term as president. I think of all the activities under my regime, I enjoyed the May Fete best. Things went remarkably smooth, and the girls were such fun to work with. ■ And Maxine, do you entertain the same feelings? ■ Oh, yes, I have nothing to ask for in the way of friendliness and helpfulness from the girls. They are all eager to assist in any way possible. I've enjoyed the charity work the best, I think. Grant, through the League, does quite a bit of charity work. All the girls do their bit, and all have a share in helping the less fortunate. ■ And next in line is our good-looking prexy, HOLLY CORNELL. Holly is the Student Body president this year — and a very good one, we think. Such poise, such composure! I'd like to know if he is as calm inwardly as he appears to be outwardly. It wouldn't hurt to ask, but I wonder if he will tell. Holly doesn't talk very much, except when necessary, and then it's worth while. Holly, are you going to confess that you're not all you seem when you stand up in assembly and take over the duties of Student Body president? ■ The contemplation is worse than the actual moments. Sometimes I get a little shaky, when I don't quite know how the program is going to turn out, but I usually manage to get a grip on myself by the time I get up in front of the assembly. And it always helps to button and unbutton my coat a few times. Being Student Body president is a big kick, but work too. But I'd rather conduct three assemblies than to be in one dramatic play — and when I'm late to practice — I'd rather be anything or anyplace else, than I am. Ask Miss Kricheskey. ■ ROBERT HOFFER, the manager of managers. Bob has several letters for being 18 student manager of Grant's athletic teams. You know, he's the one that runs across the field with a little bucket of water in his hand. I wonder how many of you have wondered, with me, where he acquired the knack of tearing across the field at such a pace without spilling the water, or at least most of it. Bob was manager of the '29 and '30 football teams, and of the '29 and '30 basketball teams. He says it is dangerous to have a preference in teams, but he thinks he liked the '30 football squad best. 1 4 ■ Of course, they didn't throw me in the showers so much, but I don't think that had much to do with it. ■ (No, I imagine not.) ■ Managing is a lot of fun, Bob said, but it's work, too. And I'll give future managers a little advice. Keep away from the girls — you can't mix them and the duties of a first-class maid or attendant to an athletic team. It takes your mind off your work. ■ Good advice — for the manager and the team — but rather hard on the girls. Take heed, future athletic managers. ■ The popular adage about blondes and their supposed lack of intelligence can never pertain to SHEILAH BECKETT. It is due to Sheilah that Grant has such clever art posters, Grantonian cartoons, and art exhibits. She has become quite a figure around Grant, with her winning this prize and that honor for excellence in art work. And she is a talented little actress — did you see her in her trailing bridal robes in the Wedding ? And she had the lead for Saturday night in Dulcy, the Class play. She has beautiful blonde, curly hair, blue eyes, and is about as big as a minute, figuratively speaking. Sheilah, which of your many talents will you develop for your career, if any? ■ Of course I'll have a career. I'm going to continue my art studies as far as possible. I think I'll go to the art school here for a good foundation, and then to a large art school. ■ Is there any particular phase of art work you like better than others? ■ Yes, I like dress designing best. I hope to make a success in that line. My ambition is to study here for awhile and then to go to France for further training — but it's only an ambition. Though I'm certainly going to do my best to make it a reality. ■ Talk about your tickly -thrills! For next, ladies and gentlemen, is HUGH McCREDIE. Bud, Mac, Hugh, or whathaveyou, is Grant's all-around athlete. A fine basketball forward, a mainstay of the baseball team, holding down the pitcher's box and first base, and captain and quarterback of the football squad. And when I sought him out, he was the center of a group of girls — and boys. Why couldn't I have been a big, rosy-cheeked boy, standing about six feet, one inch, and weighing 190 pounds? Fate is cruel. Hi, Mr. McCredie, I wouldst talk at you. Hugh, have you a favorite 19 in your sports. It seems improbable, since you do them all so splendidly, but deep down in your heart, have you? ® I haven't any real favorite. I like the one I am playing at the time the best. Sometimes I rather lean to football. I think that will be the sport I shall go out for in college. The spirit and enthusiasm in college footbali is greater than in high school football. Training is harder, and the technique of the game is more complicated, buf I know I'll enjoy it as much as I have high school football. • Would you like to be a coach, Hugh? • No, I don't think I shall go out for coaching. I think I could find plays all right, but I couldn't put the pep and enthusiasm necessary into the team. There has to be something inside a man to make a good coach — and I don't believe I have the right sort of a vocabulary to be a coach. I'll get my four years of training at college, and then get a nice, steady, well-paid job winding a seven-day clock — or sumpin'. D U L C Y By George S. Kaufman and Marie Connelly ■ Oh, dear, dumb Dulcyl Always trying to do someone some good — and always getting that one in trouble! Always resolving to keep out of the path of entanglements, and immediately jumping, with a giggle of innocence, into their way! Her long suffering husband, Gordie, takes more than his share of punishment, and her brother, Willie, avers that sometimes he thinks his family must have adopted Duicy. ■ When she decides to help Gordon out in a business way by asking his future business partner, Mr. Forbes, and family down to their home for a week-end, she outdoes herself. In the space of one week-end she manages, with very little trouble, to estrange Mr. Forbes from all thoughts of helping out Gordon Smith financially; involves Mrs. Smith in a flirtation with Schuyler Van Dyck, a Wall street magnate with burning eyes; and engineers an elopement between Angela Forbes and Vincent Leach, a very feminine scenarioist heartily despised by Mr. Forbes. On top of it all, Angela's pearls disappear — and Henry, the butler, is an ex-convict out on parole. Tom Sterrett, Forbes' advertising manager, and in love with Angela, further complicates matters with his high-power salesmanship. A Mr. Patterson comes to the Smiths' home inquiring for Mr. Van Dyck, his cousin, revealing that Van Dyck is not the millionaire he professes to be, but a poor man with an hallucination that he is wealthy. As a result, Smith's jewelry merger with him goes up in smoke. ■ But, as was never expected, things turn out all right. Angela returns from her elopement with Leach — married to Bill. Van Dyck leaves with his cousin, though Mr. Forbes was never convinced that Van Dyck wasn't the great financier, there for the express purpose of cutting out Forbes in the merger with Smith. Henry brings in the pearls, having picked them up from the floor the night before. ■ Duicy, of course, takes all the credit for arranging things, and promises, again, never to meddle in her husband's affairs.

We have seen through the experience of our fathers that war does not pay but that disarmaments and peace are the great factors for a lasting prosperity. We will use those three great means of transportation — air, sea and land — to bring about closer friendship among nations. We will exert our powers to bring about disarmament, for without armaments war is but an idle threat. — Jim Ludlam. I like to think that some day soon We'll realize the way of war, Which doesn't heal earth's petty wounds But irritates the angry sore. — Maxine Reed. ■ If the people of the different nations can overcome that feeling of accentuated individualism and think in terms of the world, then war is undoubtedly at an end. — Neola Jones. ® If the peace of the world does not concern our January '32 Class then just whom does it concern? Our Class is a part of Young America that in event of war would be among the first to enter the ranks of hard-fighting soldiers; and our girls — would they not comprise a part of those left-behind to bear that awful burden of anticipation? The January '32 Class is needed in the maintenance of world peace as much as the people of the world need relief from anxiety, fear and horror of any repetition of that last mammoth spectacle — the World War. —Virginia Younie. • As children we have played the game of Heavy, Heavy, Hangs Over Thy Head. Then it was played with trinkets and toys at stake; now we are playing the game with our happiness at stake. The burdening war debts and the increasing threats of war hang over our heads like ominous clouds. The members of this January graduating class can help to clear away those clouds. ■ Another World War would mean the ruin of civilization. We do not want the destruction of this wonderful civilization which we are just beginning to appreciate. We of Young America feel kindly goodwill for the young folks of other lands. We should like to follow Lindbergh's example and fly to the foreign lands as ambassadors of goodwill. We are the coming law-makers and diplomats. It is time to start right now forming the best ideals for our country. —Maxine Rankin. 82 ® No matter along which line of endeavor we plan to place our future hopes, any hint of eruption of war in any part of the world would have its effect on the business and life of almost every individual. We, as the future citizens of the United States, must do all in our power to further the plan for world peace and insure safety for our people. — Bernard Wallwork. ■ The old adage that, The pen is mightier than the sword, is a doctrine which the rising generation will make better use of than the last. The enrollment in high schools has increased almost four hundred percent in the past ten years. Intelligence triumphant! It will reduce crime, reduce accidents, and above all, it will show humanity the economic and social folly of war. —Theodore Bohlman. ■ The cry of the world's youth is PEACE. Some of our fathers have marched gallantly forth to war only to return battered shell-shocked remnants of their youth. We have read how the youth of many nations have been slaughtered — all for the selfish vanity of a few. • Ever since time began the bulwark of every nation has been its youth. It is from the younger generation that all progress has come. It is the younger generation that always has been unafraid to put forth its ideas. ■ Its newest idea is world peace. We of the January 1932 Class welcome the opportunity to join this younger generation in a cry for world peace. — Robert Weber. ■ The security of our civilization lies neither in the limited nor the competitive con- struction and use of means of warfare but rather in the gradual advancement of our well-being unhampered and unmolested by war. —Lowell Purvine. ■ I found my proof on Marquam Hill. One dismal, rainy forenoon I took the Sam Jackson Park bus up past the Multnomah Hospital, by the Doernbecher Memorial, and up to the Veterans' Hospital. Why this long dreary ride? For proof. Proof to a young, fast-beating heart that war is destructive and that a reduction of armaments is the only solution for peace. ■ The tapping of my heels was quick and light when first I stepped into the long corridor. But after the third or fourth room the sight of those yearning, courageous eyes softened my footsteps and tightened my heart. ■ On we went, my guide and I, corridor after corridor, past rooms full of invisible heartache and despair that clutched at the throat of swift-blooded youth. ■ On the stairs we met a man with his arm completely swathed in bandages. My guide stopped him with a friendly word and inquired of the condition of his arm. The soft answer was heartbreaking in its utter cheerfulness. ■ Ah, I may be young, and thoughtless and inexperienced, but I am not heartlessly blind! The cause of all that suffering is evident. To abolish war is to exterminate the root of the evil. Those deadly arms will, unless controlled, wipe their makers from this civilized world. It is not for one nation to reduce her arms, but for all 23 nations. A universal reduction of armaments would mean a universal peace. Peace for those men lying in their white beds staring with horror-stricken eyes into the past. ■ I took that lonesome ride to the Veterans' Hospital for proof, and I found my proof pacing those corridors of pain — proof on Marquam Hill! — The Editor. A L I B I E S ■ Why don't you be a lawyer? ■ This parting shot came from my mother in a voice of dismay. She, upholding the affirmative, had come out second best in a debate, Resolved, that L----------- Jr. take in the clothes. Although short and heated, the debate afforded me sufficient time to present my arguments in a forceful and exasperating manner. My concluding remarks were in the following style: ■ ... and it is extremely unbefitting for the young man of the house to be seen by respectable neighbors adorned with a bulging clothes-pin bag and carrying a well-piled basket. What's that? No, it is not a dishonorable task but most undignified, don't y' know. Well, the suppression of the opposition being complete, I'll depart. ■ And so I left — to take in the clothes. • It's an old custom with me to present a formal argument before every bit of useful labor I do around home. No matter how trifling the task or what the reward connected with it, I must argue over its performance. Dear reader, please do not jump to conclusions and form some false opinions as to my character in general. I can quite truthfully say that this custom was not inspired by laziness. It was built up as a result of my desire to learn argumentation and to increase my knowledge of alibies. ■ One might ask what advantage there is in studying along such unethical lines. I believe that Fate (I'm a believer in Fate) has in store for everyone at least one incident wherein a good sound excuse is to be highly desired. With my extensive knowledge of this subject I can face the gravest possibilities with a clear con — without a worry. ■ As I have quite a collection of alibies, it is absolutely necessary to classify them. I have divided them under several main heads, mechanical failures, physical impossibilities, fraud, accident, error, etc. When I am confronted suddenly with an embarrassing demand, my train of thought clicks smoothly, Sherlock Holmes style, Alibi III, class G. Whereas the novice hesitates and fumbles for words, I deliver my latest with a confidence acquired only by constant home work. ■ Many others (in chagrin) have voiced my mother's question concerning my taking up law. I don't want to be a lawyer, although, of course. I'd make an excellent one — please don't believe that I am not a truthful fellow. Ask my mother. ■ At that, perhaps I am an egotist. — Charles V. Hinman. 24 GALLANTRY A Symposium Are Men of Today as Gallant as Formerly? ■ I think that men today are as gallant as the men of the past. Today the men do not show their willingness in such a flowery manner, but the spirit is there nevertheless. The surroundings of the present age differ so much from those of long ago that it is quite difficult to compare man to man, and act to act. — Robert McCombs. ■ I think that one should never make a general statement about men as a whole or women as a whole. It is always partly untrue or at least it has so many exceptions to it that there is no use saying it at all. Gallantry rests with the individual. Some men were gallant years ago, and some men are gallant today. Of course gallantry is different now from what it was then, but I do not think that a statement could be made as to whether men all together are more gallant. — Clementine Densmore. ■ In ye olden times, when a woman was the symbol of all that was beautiful, pure, heavenly, and sweet, gallantry was at its best. Women were fought for. Jousts were held for the purpose of defending Milady's honor. But times have changed. The difference between the man and woman of today is the difference between a pair of trousers and a skirt. A darn short skirt at that. —L. E. Daniel. ■ The 1932 girl does not need chivalry. You say she does net deserve it — you're only jealous of the independence of young women. She shuns chivalry; all she asks is courtesy. She can at most times help herself. She is no longer the whiner or the clinging vine. I ask you, if she chose to cling, to what under the sun would she cling? Not the man of todayl — Sheilah Beckett. ■ Modern gallantry of today is in a deplorable condition, and it will remain in that state until the so-called gentleman drops his duo-character. By this I mean that a man should not be gallant to a lady of wealth and position and then refuse his service to a common woman. I admit the gallantry of today is somewhat better than that of previous times, but we still have room for much improvement. — Harold Luick. ■ Men of today are less gallant than they used to be. This is only natural, because women have taken it upon themselves to be more independent. As the women can do most anything that a man does, he probably thinks it not necessary that he should be as gallant as he used to be. —Gladys Allen. ■ The gallantry of the modern male is conspicuous by its absence. — Maxine Rankin. J5 ■ Gallantry has not changed in substance, only in form. I do believe, though, that there is more thought back of our actions today. A man of yesterday was courteous to the opposite sex only because it was proper, and in many instances his actions were overdone, while the gentleman of today is courteous in a helpful manner. Manners of today are simplified and less elaborate than in former times. We do not render our services when they are totally unnecessary. For instance, you wouldn't even think of jumping off a street car to pick up the handkerchief the lady on the corner just dropped. The girl of today likes a man who is natural in his ways; one who is simple, straightforward and friendly wins her approval. — Bernard Wallwork. ■ It is true that men are not as gallant today as they formerly were. Today, men do not ride forth in armor to rescue the beautiful princess and run down several old hags while rescuing the said princess. It is true that men no longer take such gracious, symphonic leave of their lady love and then with their friends mock some poor lady on a street corner. ■ We, however, have a slight consolation. Even though by the nineteenth amendment the women are made men's equals, we still tip our hats to them and offer them our seats in a bus. ■ Our gallantry, in other words, is much more sincere. — Robert Weber. IN DEFENSE OF YOUTH Are we then lost, an aimless, hopeless throng, Possessed of dulling, dead'ning emptiness; A people knowing not and caring less To know of that which wraps the world in wrong? Have we not heard the cry through ages long For tolerance, goodwill, and earnestness To free a fighting world from mad duress, Or do we still to bloody cults belong? Nay. sceptic world, we do not wander here In useless quest for pleasure or for show, A foolish treadmill that would never cease. We strive to make the skies forever clear; We work to make a friend of former foe, Our goal: a universal lasting PEACE. ■ This sonnet was written in answer to YOUTH IN THESE DAYS by James Norman Hall in the October Harper's. — Maxine Birks. GRANT COMMEMORATES ARMISTICE DAY DO YOU REMEMBER? ■ A middle-aged man with a smile of tolerance on his face is standing on a street corner watching the Armistice Day band pass. The drums beat long and loud — dtrum, d-d-dtrum, d-d-drum. Strangely, they seem to be beating for him. They are mingling with his heart beats, sending him a message, beseeching him to listen to their words: Do you remember fourteen years ago on the battlefields of France? Do you remember the first man you killed, the look on his face? Do you remember the murderous hordes crawling nearer, nearer, nearer; The cries, the groans, the screams of pain and terror? Do you remember your comrades huddled in slimy, filthy trenches? Do you remember the long nights starred with roaring shells? Do you remember the shell-shocked men tossing and moaning on their cots; The brave men grouped around their captain, drawing lots? Do you remember the nurses moving silently among their charges, Pausing to pat a weary head, smooth a rumpled pillow or a wrinkled brow? Do you remember the weary tramps covering miles and miles, The ever-ready hope, the heartbroken yet cheerful smiles? Have you forgotten all this, man, is your heart cold? Have they left you no sad memories, those days of old? Fie! Take off your hat, fling it, show your joy, your sorrow. Has not our nation's past born this world's tomorrow? — Anne Schwartz. SUPPLICATION ■ Thirteen years have passed—thirteen long, aching years — since our soldier boys came trudging home to nurse their wounds and smooth the scars of war. ■ Pain and heartache was not all left in Flanders field. It came arm in arm with those trudging soldier boys; it knelt at the hearth of the orphan and slept in the arms of the widow. The wounds of the soldier boy may heal, but it will be many years before the wounds of a nation are closed. ■ We are the sons and the daughters of those men; we are the orphans; our mothers are the widows. Within us is bred the deep gratitude for peace and the fierce hatred for war. The full and terrible costs of the war fall upon our shoulders; we are bowed with the load of a white cross. ® 27 ■ This Armistice many hearts are sad, yet they sing with hymns of liberty — hymns that must pass from their hearts to those indifferent to the language of peace; hymns that flame with the breath of the poppies; hymns that are guarded by the shadow of the cross. ■ Recently, by an act of Congress, some mothers were sent across the ocean to visit the graves of their sons. The Sold Star Mother — what were her thoughts as she knelt motionless beside that white cross? Was that silent sobbing for the baby son of hers, or did her faded eyes glimpse beyond the shadow of the grave that which brothers, fathers, friends could not see? Did her mother-soul, riding on the wings of faith, commune with the torn and wounded spirit of her son? Or did her heart throb with joy at sight of the beloved name scrawled upon the cross? Was the quickening of breath a sigh of happiness complete? ■ Pray God that she never knows what lies beneath that blood-caked earthl The battered, shell-shocked flesh would burn her gentle heart and fill each lonely night with torment. ■ That kneeling figure is a pitiful supplicant for an everlasting Armistice. She represents the heart of a nation beating for peace, peace, peace. ■ Her cry is Mercy! ■ And a world's answer is Peace. — Evelyn Vermillion. TO MY CAYUSE Attention, Robert Frost I Submit My Runaway Grazing in a nearby field, My horse at last I found. Suddenly her senses feel My footsteps on the ground. Turning quick in sudden flight, Her nostrils snorted fear. Running nearly out of sight She fled into the clear. Then followed I in hot pursuit, A bridle on my arm. Innocent she looked and cute; She knew I meant no harm. Finally I reached her side; She tossed her head at bay, I am yours whate'er betide — Dave Perkins. Her actions seemed to say. 28 GULLS Like glistening white bits of wavetost sea foam. The gulls, far, far from the billows' breaking crests, Searching, calling, veering, no longer fly High above the rough shore to their craggy nests. But now, as refugees, driven far inland By storms, they circle the long stately buildings, Firs, and green lawn of Grant. Exhausted, their band Alights gracefully, and rests with weary wings. I study — envious, for they — unlike me In the blue above the campus green may soar Unrestrained by rules, laws, customs — happy, free; The gulls! Free forever more, forever more. —James Gruetter. ■ TWILIGHT Soft veils of dew-drop spray Across a blossom flung; Deep floods of darkened gray From out the heavens wrung — Early twilight. Star-dusk from a falling spark Mingling with the night; Moonlight through the gathering dark Guiding wings in flight — At eventide. May my early twilight Come as gently as this dusk And may the moonlight of His love Guide my weary wings in flight __E. Vermillion. At eventide. 29 AN OLD-FASHIONED DOLL ■ In a small chest where I have laid away all of my keepsakes lies swaddled in protective wrapping an old-fashioned doll. When I was about six years old my mother gave it to me, and as I was small I was enraptured by the gift. The doll was named Nancy and had been given to my mother when she was a small girl. It therefore, seemed doubly attractive. Its exquisitely molded, china face, its big, blue glass eyes, the delicate brows above them, the flaxen hair, and the dainty fingers on the china hands to me seemed to be the characteristics of a perfect doll. Of course, I didn't play with such a treasure, but on special occasions I was permitted to take it out from its hiding and reverently view it. • I had not thought of this doll for several years, and it remained in the chest a long time forgotten. The other day, however, when some of my friends and I were discussing fashions of the day and how they reverted back to the I800's I happened to think of my doll, Nancy, and the way she was dressed. I mentioned the peculiarity of her dress to my friends, and nothing would do but that I must show Nancy to them. So out she came from the place where she had been tucked away from view. How different she appeared to me, this perfect doll of my childhood! Her china face that seemed so exquisite to me then was now cold and unexpressive. The blue glass eyes seemed to stare oddly, and the once-beautiful flaxen hair was no more life-like. And you should see the peculiar way in which the kid body was jointed! And the tiny waist! It was a quaint figure. • I do not want you to think that I dislike my keepsake, for I still think much of it, though in a different way from what I had before. I now consider it as a lovely thing to keep as an heirloom. How different was the feeling in my childhood, when the doll was the very essence of worship and adoration! Isn't it queer how much our ideas change as we grow up? FOOTBALL— 193 I Eager figures bending forward Waiting for the sign; Eager bodies pressing toward That still unconquered line. The football team is fighting On that hard old mucky field, While in our hearts we're writing, Our team shall never yield. They're down, they're up, and down again; The quarterback breaks through, They reel and roll in pouring rain With helmets all askew. He plunges o'er that hard-fought line; As still he struggles on; The field man gives the welcome sign. ■ The Blue and Grey has won! 30 — Agnes Gordon. EYE IEU OF ■ ■■■ HOIIE WITH STRIPPED SOX.

Up and down halls, in and out rooms, over hill and dale (I'll be getting poetic any time now), but you get the idea, anyway. I've been around. I've listened to this and that group, and taken note of certain conversations. I've collected some rare items. You know, I think a pretty good racket could be worked up from this idea—I wouldn't exactly call it blackmail, but it has possibilities. ■ A lot of funny (I at least have a sense of humor) things happen in dramatic class. I remember the day HERBERT LAUTERSTEIN, the groom in the Wedding given in the Girls' League show, went through one scene SEVENTEEN times for Miss Krichesky. We counted them. Incidently, it was that ardent moment at the end of the play, when all is forgiven. I wouldn't accuse Herbert of any ulterior motives—but SHEILAH BECKETT was in the scene, too. ■ MARGARET RUDOLPH, one of the members of the graduating class, was presented in a piano recital by her teacher, Miss Jessie Lewis, December 5th. One number, the Mendelssohn CONCERTO IN G MINOR, consisted of forty-three pages. (I think she deserves a medal or something.) Another number, Leaping Little Mountain Brook, by a Portland composer, was arranged and dedicated to Margaret. And besides being a musical genius, she has red hair, beautiful red hair. Some people have all the luck. ■ I'd like to imitate some people in the classroom. They have a way of pulling down the good grades—that is enviable. VIRGINIA YOUNIE, ALICE WEIL, KATHRYN WARD and VIRGINIA CLARK are just a few of them. ■ During those deathly silences in Class Play practice when Miss Krichesky has rendered her opinion of all and sundry, there is indecision on the part of the actors whether to go ahead, go back, or just stand still—one of the crossroads of life. ■ Personally I think they're prejudiced: ■ JACK MACKEN: All women are biased! ■ ED CASEY: Yehl Buy us this 'n buy us that! ■ I have an exclusive statement from RAY WHITING in which he says that he thinks that cars are here to stay. ■ I heard BUD JONES telling BEA WRIGHT about a dream he had: ■ I dreamt last night that I was married to the most intelligent, gorgeous, sweet, adorable, and beautiful girl in the world!! ■ OO-OOI! Were we happy? ■ Right there with a snappy comeback — huh? ■ Did you know that JACK NELSON was yell-leader of his scout troop, Number 100, when he was in grammar school? From small beginnings .... —Rosemary Shelley. 3!

With it for a few short months during the fall semester the athletic glory symbolized by the ancient Greek in Apollo dawns again upon the nation and upon Grant High School. ■ Hordes follow the call to the gridiron. Stiff muscles become tense, then relax as the coaches whip enthusiastic prospects into condition. ■ There are nightly scrimmages. Always several pre-season tilts help new material get experience for action in the regular city games at Multnomah stadium. ■ Nor are the boys who drill through the preliminary session of bruises and hard knocks the only ones interested. There is the Student Body, and in it football kindles a spirit that is manifest in large audiences present to watch practice after school. ■ Before the first game the fan counts lettermen back for the current year, takes 33 note of promising material, and after each weakness and advantage has been considered, he attempts a prediction of the season's outcome. ■ When Coach Watt Long began to train his large squad of material in 1931 he had five lettermen from the preceding year: McCredie, Jones, Titus, D. Bennison, and T. Bennison. In McCredie was the promise of the league's longest kicker. Whiting, Gallagher and Goodell were selected to retrieve McCredie's punts and to perform the other duties of the end positions. Russell, Davis, Jones, Baiten, Fox, Gilbert, and Lyons were nominated to tussle for backfield berths. ■ The Bennison brothers were assured of positions in the line along with Carr, Phillipi, and Titus. Dose and Lesher were to vie for the center position. ■ Logically, in the eye of railbird and coach alike, it was not a championship squad, but the spirit of Grant was in it, and that spirit never ceased to flame. ■ The team started slowly. It was not until the fifth league game that Grant won a victory. In their sixth try the Generals overcame Commerce, rose from last place in the percentage column to second place, and won the right to meet the championship Jefferson squad Armistice Day. ■ Grant finished the schedule with a team of power, speed, and the will to play clean football. It was a squad that shook the mainstays of every 1931 challenging squad, and one which brought the blue and gray colors to a windup in the first division of the race. ■ Through two pre-season skirmishes and seven scheduled tilts Coach Watt Long's blue lettered warriors worried opposing coaches. By their exhibitions on Multnomah Civic Stadium turf the Generals won the praise of the Student Body, and of every city sport scribe. 7 r TEDDIES TIE ■ To start the city schedule Grant met Roosevelt. Although reputedly weak in defensive power, the small Teddy Roughriders summoned spirit and speed to their side and held the heavier Generals scoreless. ■ From this first tilt against interscholastic competition Coach Long was able to sound his team's ability. The lesson learned from the smallish Teddies was useful. WASHINGTON STOPPED ■ Washington was a squad gifted materially with lettermen and a triple-threat end, Yezerski, who captured all-star honors in 1930. ■ A breathless exhibition was furnished by the Generals in this, their second tilt, and when the battle ended Grant had stopped the championship-headed Colonials by a 0 to 0 tie. GENERALS HALT LINCOLN ■ When the Generals halted Lincoln they literally accomplished the impossible, according to local press comments on the game. Attaining its greatest defensive peak, Grant overcame the Lincoln offensive on a sloppy gridiron and routed the Cardinals' hopes for a championship. 34 ■ The Lincolnites had a corner on all scoring opportunities, however, and at times they made dangerous threats on Grant goal line territory. At the finish of the very wet battle the score stood 0 to 0. QUAKERS DOWNED ■ Although the blue and gray squad was tardy in breaking into the scoring column it downed the pointless jinx decisively by defeating Franklin 12 to 6. ■ From .000 percent to 500 percent was the distance Grant climbed on the prep grid ladder when it stopped the Quakers. ■ Due to injuries, McCredie and Titus were unable to make an appearance that day, but their absence from the lineup helped to spur the Generals to victory. COMMERCE DEFEATED ■ It was Commerce that had won the championship in 1930, but it was not the same squad that fell before the Grant attack in 1931. ■ On the green-shirt Stenographers Grant tacked its greatest win; one that stood 19 to 0 at the sound of the final whistle. ■ By the victory over Commerce, Grant hopped into second place on the percentage list and cinched the honor of meeting Jefferson Armistice Day. JEFFERSON BEST ■ Bobby Grayson, Portland's finished football product of 1931, and his band of talented henchmen, were Grant opponents Armistice Day when 12,206 spectators watched the two first division teams battle at Multnomah Civic Stadium. ■ The Generals began at tremendous odds, but were able to hold the Democrats at a 12 to 0 margin. ■ The Jeff game was the final one for Grant; and although it was defeat that Grant met Armistice Day, it was glory that the squad won in holding Jefferson to so close a score. ■ Later Marshfield, champion of Southern Oregon, was to fight Jefferson, and the 36 to 0 score that the Democrats piled up against that team proved the caliber of football Grant played Armistice Day. ■ Whiting, Carr, and T. Bennison, three Grantonian football stars selected for their premier performances on the gridiron, shine in the heavens of the 1931 interscholastic league. ■ Individual ability, and the never-ending support of eight teammates won them the highest acknowledgment of the city. — George Spencer. CROSS COUNTRY MEN 19 3 1 Abeling Keller Cornthwaite Larwood Lund Anderson Turnbaugh Lewis Hall ■ In an attempt to renew cross country racing in interscholastic athletic activities, Hill Military Academy sponsored a distance run over Hill's Rocky Butte course on November 25. ■ 35 ■ Grant entered a team of ten men coached by Jack Edwards to participate in the event. • The Generals finished fifth in the contest. For Grant, Abeling came first; Anderson, second; Keller, third; Turnbaugh, fourth, and Cornthwaite, fifth. FRESHMAN-JUNIOR FOOTBALL Grant 12 ................... Benson 6 Grant 13 ...................

I Coach Louis Seggel built up a team that was grounded in fundamentals and which was able to encounter the best of Portland's junior teams on a footing that brought Grant victory in every instance but one. ■ Jefferson placed a team in the field that had been nurtured with Coach Eric Waldorf's championship grid potion, a draft of medicine that put his varsity squad on top of the senior 6 to 6 tie. league, and those eleven Democrats held the Generals to a Eagles Chapman McCelner McKenzie Binford Morrison Rynes E.

O R G A N 1 z A T 1 O N S ■ Oh, hello, you wanted me to tell you about the club organization here, didn't you? Well, I don't quite know where to start — there are so many, and they do so many different things. What do you say to a tour of inspection of the clubs themselves? This is Monday: I think Schedule A meets today — let’s just drop in on the meetings. Would you care to? We might run on to some unexpected things — you never can tell. ■ Let me see, I think in all there are thirteen clubs meeting today. My word, we'll need skates or something to get us to all the meetings before Activity period is up. Well, let's dash. ■ Way down in the basement, in room 21, are the QUIRITES, the Latin club, studying the Latin language and customs — they'll be so immersed in their dead language, they won't pay any attention to us. 36 JIM GRUETTER Adsum MAXINE BIRKS Adsum ROBERT WEBBER Adsum ■ What can that mean? Oh, surely, that is what the members answer to roll-call. It means, I AM PRESENT. I think they are talking about the magazine subscription they have given to the library for the use of the school. I was awfully good in Latin — the one term I took it. Well, shall we go? I'm going to try to remember that word — Adsum, Adsum........ ■ Now right up stairs, two flights of them, to the THALIANS in 247. This is a girls' dramatic club, that studies the technique of the drama, and also gives a play for the Student Body each term. Maybe FERN WHITESIDE and KATHERINE SEEBERGER will tell us what the play will be this year, comedy, tragedy, or farce? ■ It's a love story with modern settings. The title, 'Jazz and Minuet,' is a striking contrast, don't you think? You know, the girls have to take the parts of the boys. We have lots of fun in dropping our feminine characteristics and trying to become masculine. ■ It must be fun, and I hope my guest will be able to come back to see your play — but you'll excuse us, won't you? Two from thirteen leaves eleven. ■ And down the hall a little way is 243, and there are the MIGWANS. This is a literary club for both girls and boys. They study the technique of story writing and often contribute to the GRANTONIAN. They are under the leadership of Miss Burns, the head of the English Department. Who knows, they may be future authors — and then we'll be able to say, I knew her when she belonged to the Migwans. ■ Let me see, I think 218 is scheduled for something, but I haven't it down. Well, we can walk in on whatever it is, and the worst that can happen is to have it turn out to be a meeting of the faculty. ■ MARVELL TWISS, you don't get much feeling into that part, let's try it over — and be careful of your enunciation. ■ Oh, yes, the BUSKINS. That is MISS CHURCHILL, their faculty adviser, directing. They really learn about acting and the fine tricks of the trade. This term the club is specializing in pantomime, diction, etc. It isn't decided yet whether or not they will give a play in competition with other schools — they usually do so, however. ■ And next is 228 — oh, dear (I hope my composure doesn't leave me entirely), I really think it's the PHILADORIANS, the boys' debating club. We'll just step in there — ■ And Honorable Judges, I will attempt to prove to you by three main — ■ Oh, a debate is in progress. We might listen to him awhile. You know, right next here is 240, where the CHRESTOMATHIAN club is meeting — the girls' debating 37 club. Every term the Philadorians and the Chrestos have a rival debate in the assembly. Ruth Neupert and Mary Banks of the Chrestos, and Jack Nelson and Budd Jones of the Philadorians are debating this year, on the subject of whether or not interscholastic athletics, as run now, are detrimental. It ought to be good. (Inci-dently, the Chrestos have won for three successive terms — just mentioned it in passing.) ■ 242 — the GERMANIA meeting — sounds like it might be a German club? — and right you are, German it is. But it sounds more like a newspaper office, though, doesn't it? You see, the club has its meeting in the form of a magazine, all in German, with sections for sport, features, etc. Clever, don't you think? Oh! but eight from thirteen leaves five — if I'm anywhere near correct. We'll have only a few minutes to cover the rest of the meetings — LEBEN SIE WOHL! — guess that showed them — I can compete with the best of them, even if I didn't take German. ■ Oh, 238. Here's the Spanish club, the DONDELENGUAS. BUENOS DIAS —and I guess that's telling them, too. Mm — sounds as if they were discussing the book of Spanish short stories they placed in the library for the use of the school — it SOUNDS like that, but I don't know much Spanish so I couldn't vouch for it, but there is CALLENE BYRNES, their president. She'll tell us. Is that what it is, CALLENE? ■ Yes, but besides placing the book in the library, we read and write Spanish in the meetings. ■ I do wish I had taken Spanish — it sounds SO simple. I wonder if I could say BUENOS DIAS as we leave? — of course it just means Hello, but — oh — well, we'll let it pass. ■ And in 244 are the VALETUDONS, a girls' sociology club. Let's just walk in. Oh, there is Mrs. Hiestand, their adviser — I'm sure she'll give us a few highlights of their activities. ■ Why yes, this term the girls are studying the social agencies in Portland, such as the Community Chest and the Albertina Kerr Baby Home, but we very nearly have sewing classes, too, for the girls are making baby quilts for the Baby Home, besides collecting clothes for needy families. Those little quilts are cute, aren't they? ■ Well, down one flight — and to 106, where the EUCLIDEANS, the Master Minds of Grant, are meeting. It is a math club, under the leadership of MISS HOEL. I don't think we'd even better go in. We might get snowed under with all the theories and such that would be thrown around. We wouldn't be able to understand their language, and then we'd lose any reputation we have had for intelligence. Their aim is to promote higher mathematics among the students, and to become disciples of Einstein. ■ And in 132 are the T'ZUMAS, another girls' literary club. But it differs from the other clubs in that they read the books instead of writing them. This year they are concentrating on travel books. ■ Whose turn is it to go to the library today? ALINE WALKER, have you been? 38 ■ Oh — I know — the T’Zumas have a rather unusual project. Each day two girls from the club go to the library activity period, and do library work. Now they are classifying the magazine articles and really doing work that will be immeasurably useful to the school, says MISS GRIGGS, the librarian. Say, we're going to have to travel ourselves, PRONTO (more Spanish). ■ Now let's see, two left — the music room, or the gym? I think we'll take the music room first — we can dash down the cafe steps and up the stairs to the music room (more stairs, they're all over the place, aren't they?). Well, here is the music room — the French club, the SANS SOUCI, is in here. Oh, oh, maybe not — looks like another play in progress — how come, I wonder? But there is Charlotte Wright, the president, she'll tell us. I'm sure. ■ Yes, this is the French club — but we're rehearsing for the French play we give each term for French students. This year we are giving LA FAIM EST UN GRAND ENVENTEUR. ■ Ahem, meaning what, if I may ask? ■ Literally it means, 'Hunger Is a Great Inventor.' ■ Well, there is a saying that necessity is the mother of invention. Thanks, Charlotte. ■ And now we'll hurry out to the Gym, it's the big brick building to the right. Don't ask what we're going to see — it will be a surprise, another one. ■ Oh! drums and bugles — a parade? ■ No, but the next thing to one. The meeting of the DRUM and BUGLE CORPS. This organization of twenty-eight members plays at games, assemblies, and in parades. It is one of Grant's most outstanding representatives. MR. NOTTAGE is the faculty adviser, and the drum major is HOWARD NEALAND. I think their caps are cute. All the same as General Grant's army caps. While participating in any activity they wear their blue and gray sweaters and little caps. Grant is proud of the Drum and Bugle Corps. ■ Well. I fear the period is over. Forty-five minutes doesn’t stretch very far, does it? But you've seen half the clubs — will you come back next Monday and we'll go around to the others. Is it a date? Next Monday, then. ONE WEEK LATER ■ Ah, you did come back. I thought you would. You seemed to enjoy the visits we took last Monday. Today the clubs meet on Schedule B. ■ You've become accustomed to this wild dashing about, haven't you? And it's a good thing, for we'll have to step lively, this morning. I think we'll start in the same place we did last week, in the basement. Nothing like starting from the ground up. ■ Down in 15 is the meeting of the FARADAYS. This is a chemistry and physics club, composed of students who have taken either subject. They have speakers, study scientific topics in their meetings, and have special reports by their members. We can go in here. They have their meetings in the science room of their adviser, MISS CURRY. ■ 39 ® In one cubic centimeter of air at zero degrees Centigrade there would be about 54 quintrillions of atoms, which if laid end to end would reach around the earth at the equator about one hundred times. ■ Oh, dear, I'm getting in over my depth. I think we'd better go. ■ And now right up these two flights of stairs again to 243. The TREKKERS, the girls' hiking club, are in here. Oh, they’re meeting with the ALPINES today. The Alpines are a similar organization, but composed of boys. They're discussing the Turkey Marathon they gave November 24th, for the Student Body. It was a great success, as always. Each term the two clubs, in addition to their usual hikes and excursions, sponsor this event and give a turkey to the winners in the races. ROSEMARY YOUNS and GWENDOLYN BELKNAP were winners in the girls' races, and BRUCE BAXTER and WARREN NASH were the boys with the longest and fastest legs. Incidentally, Rosemary has won the race for two years now. ■ And right next here is 247, where the GIRLS' INTERNATIONAL CLUB meets. This club studies international relations and affairs. The first part of the term they concentrated on problems of the foreign nations, but JANE KASER, their president, tells me that now they are interested in the political situation of our own country. It sounds as if they were discussing world peace today. One would have to know more than just how to play a good bridge hand to belong to this group. And down the hall is 238, and the POLEMIC club. This is a boys' club, organized on the same policies as the Girls' International. Topics of current interest, national and foreign, are discussed, and when such members as DON LESHER or JACK PATRICK take the floor, mighty weighty matters are thrashed out. ■ And now for 240. The ROD AND REEL, a boys' fishing club, is gathered in here. This is a new club, organized by devotees of fishing and of the outdoors. Already they have a large membership and a long waiting list. They swap information about what's what for fishing, promote sportsmanship, and develop interest in outdoor life. ■ I tell you, GORDON HALL, the best fishing in this country is for rainbow trout in the Deschutes. ■ DEWITT PEETS, you're all wrong. I'd rather battle for a steelhead in the Rogue River any time. ■ I knew it. It's just lucky we didn't come in while they were talking about what they DID catch. When good fishermen get together— ■ In 242 are the PHILATELICS, whose aim is to promote interest and study in postage stamps. Don't you feel a little bit like a postman with all these stamps and stamp collections staring you in the face? But they are unusual, don't you think? BOB PARKER, their president, says that the boys have many unusual specimens, from all over the world, and of every type and description. They enter their collections in city and state exhibits, and invariably they come off victorious. ■ And now down to 132, where the girls' swimming club is. The DOLPHINS are the mermaids of Grant. No, no water or tank. They swim in the tank at Buckman School, where weekly swims are held. The club has organized swimming teams, and competes with other school teams. NANCY WESTON and HARRIET HENDRIX are the officers of these daughters of Neptune. ■ Well, the music room is next on the list. We can go through the auditorium, right in here. Oh, the Class play set is being constructed. The boys working on it are the STAGE CREW, under the leadership of DEWITT SMITH. The stage crew is a mainstay of Grant. They work out and construct all stage sets and take care of all properties. The Vitaphone device and the motion picture machine are also run by them. They're hard-working boys and don't get much credit for their labors. Here's the music room. Another dramatic club is in here. The MASK AND DAGGER is a junior dramatic organization composed of younger students than those in the BUSKINS. They study about the same things as the Buskins do. • And now out in the sleet and snow. Portable C is our next stop. I wish the ROYAL G had been meeting today, but they only come together on the special call of their president, DICK BENNISON, so we've missed them. Their club is composed of all major lettermen. They encourage clean athletics, referee at junior games, and that's not saying anything about how they ruffle the hearts of the fairer sex with their big G's.” ■ The GIRLS' TRI-Y meets in this portable. The members of this club promote worthwhile friendship among the girls of Grant, and this term they have sponsored for their members the Charm School. Sounds intriguing, doesn't it? At their meeting they have various speakers and reports on how to cultivate beauty and charm. Don't you think that NEOLA JONES and BETH STARR, besides being their officers, are good representatives of the club? I think they have mastered their lessons in charm well. ■ I think the next stop will prove rather a surprise. It's in the southeast room of the gymnasium. Oh — I thought it would. Looks like a radio transmitting station, doesn't it? This is the room of the radio club, the DEFORESTS. They have industrious looking members, haven't they? Maybe their president, GEORGE CLARK, will tell us more about their activities. ■ Well, the club studies the fundamentals of radio transmission, and most of the members are amateur radio operators. They have installed an officially recognized radio station, known as W7FI-29. They are full-fledged operators — operators, not announcers. ■ The Hl-Y CLUB is composed of Grant boys, but not organized strictly in the school. They meet at the North East Y. M. C. A., so we can't see them in action, as we have the others. The club is organized to create, maintain, and extend, through the school and community, high standards of Christian character. They are sponsors of the Service and Hi-Y cups, and of the Big Brother Assembly idea, and that tells nothing about their annual dances and picnics, which arouse such flurries among the co-eds. 41 ■ I think that's just about all of the clubs, and we have some time left at that. Let's go back to the school, and maybe we can get a glimpse of some of the executive meetings that are on schedule today. ■ The EXECUTIVE COUNCIL members are the high potentates of Grant. This council is composed of the Student Body president, Holly Cornell; the vice-president, Jean Burnett; the secretary, Mary Banks; the treasurer, Burford Cable, and the assistant treasurer, Walter Baird; the president of the Girls' League, Maxine Rankin; the editor of the Grantonian, George Spencer; the service representative, Jack Nelson; and tho president of the general council, Larry Marshall. Mr. Bittner, Mr. Scott, and Miss McGaw are the faculty members. The council this year has put into practice the point system of regulating students' activities (oh, and the moans that went up when it was enforced). They also have established a new system of parking cars in front of school, the Hello Lane in the park, and have experimented with the taking of the club and group pictures by students. The council has been unusually effective this year, and these are only a few of the projects they have organized successfully. ■ The GENERAL COUNCIL is composed of all the room representatives. LARRY MARSHALL is president, BETTY BENNETT is secretary, and the president and vice-president of the Student Body are members, EX-OFFICIO. The room representatives sell tickets for games and special functions, and they have done much to establish the point system. They also sponsored a very interesting assembly this term, and all in all are truly Grant's representatives. ■ The CAFETERIA BOARD assists in the management of the cafeteria whenever necessary. The members are RUTH NEUPERT, BETTY CORNELL, RALPH CATHEY, and CRAIG FINLEY. They leave the food up to Miss Barbour, the manager, but they secure co-operation of the students in making the cafeteria a desirable place to lunch. ■ The GIRLS' LEAGUE COUNCIL, with MAXINE RANKIN at the head, is composed of the different term presidents, for the purpose of directing the activities of the Girls' League as efficiently as possible. This year they assisted with the annual Girls' League show, sponsored charity work, and were influential in other activities of the school. ■ The CASHIERS have done fine work this term in promoting interest in banking, and helping raise Grant's percentage. Miss Young is the faculty adviser, with JIM LUDLAM at the head of the organization. Their motto is a penny saved . . and they're not far wrong. ■ The GRANTONIAN, the weekly school publication, is edited by the GRANTONIAN STAFF, of which GEORGE SPENCER is editor and MISS KRICHESKY faculty adviser. This is the first term we have had a weekly publication, and it is due to advertising that it has been made possible. ■ The TRAFFIC SQUAD really deserves a gold medal for their work. The squad. under the head of PAUL O'CONNOR, does duty in the halls and on the grounds, ushers at special school functions, and serves the school in many ways. They all wear gray sweaters with blue letters, and if a trafficman walks up to you in center hall with his little speech of outside or upstairs, you don't stop to argue. They are a very efficient group. ■ And the FIRE SQUAD is just as important. ART NELSON is the chief of the group of boys that insure the safety of the students in case of fire. The squad, with their adviser, MR. WAGNER, take care of all fire drills, and could take charge of any fire in the building until help should arrive. Mr. Wagner says that they have cleared the building in as short time as one minute and twenty seconds. Pretty speedy, aren't they? ■ The musical organization of Grant is large and complicated. There are the BOYS' AND GIRLS' JUNIOR AND SENIOR GLEE CLUBS, under MISS ACORN, that give programs in assembly. This year they helped with the Christmas program in conjunction with the ORCHESTRAS, Junior and Senior, under the direction of MR. BAYLEY. The members of the orchestra, besides being given an opportunity to acquire orchestral musical training, are taught the principles of conducting and sightreading with the aid of a newly enlarged library. The BAND, under MR. HANDZUCK, director, and MAURICE BUSH, student leader, has been a regular feature of games and assemblies. Their stirring music has added to every program they have featured in. ■ Well, that's all. I think we've covered quite a bit in the last two weeks, don't you? Anytime you would care to come back and revisit any of the clubs, you'll be more than welcome. I do hope you won't have any ill effects from our mad dashing about. Goodbye. — Rosemary Shelley. INSIGNIFICANCE The buildings towered above him and made him feel so small That he ran a way to the country to get away from it all, But all the surrounding hills, chiding him, seemed to say, We really don't need you here at all; you're only in our way. He went to the woods, but the pines so tall Made him feel like the insects who only crawl. Away on the prairies with nothing around God filled the place and made him kneel down; A voice whispered, Don't you see? To be wanted or heeded You must fill a small part where you're really needed?
