20 THE EXPONENT WITH THE CLUBS The Science Club brought a suc¬ cessful year to a close with the final meeting on May 26. Many new members were voted into the or¬ ganization and many and varied were the experiments performed. Through the efforts of the Club two moving pictures dealing with sub¬ jects of interest to the members have been presented in the audito¬ rium. All in all, it has been an ex¬ ceedingly interesting year for the members. The Masquers, G. H. S.’s dramatic society, also have enjoyed a success¬ ful and interesting season. The main event on their calendar took place when a short play was pre¬ sented in conjunction with movies, for the purpose of replenishing the S. A. S. treasury. The cast acquit¬ ted itself with honor. The enterprising Spanish Club, but newly organized, under the leader¬ ship of Miss Chapin and Miss Cur¬ tis has been making great gains in arousing interest among the Span¬ ish students. It is regretted, how¬ ever, that no males have seen fit to become members. During the past year meetings were held bi-monthly and at these Spanish games were played, refreshments were served in the Spanish manner, and a general atmosphere of the Sunny Peninsula prevailed. The Commercial Club held its last meeting for the school year on May 19. The following officers were elected for the coming year: President, Francis Martin. Vice-president, Mary Barry. Secretary, Nellie Pulaski. Mr. King, accountant for E. Weiss- brod Son, spoke to the club on “What the Business Man Expects of a High School Graduate.” Following Mr. King’s talk, the members of the Club gave a fare¬ well party to Miss Moore who, much to our regret, leaves G. H. S. at the end of the school year to take a po¬ sition in the Malden, Mass., high school. The programs during the year have included a number of plays given by the Club members, and talks by local business men. The Club has been well support¬ ed by the Commercial pupils and has increased considerably in member¬ ship during the year. G. M., ’27. WHO’S WHO IN »20 Most Popular Boy, Chester Osgood.

THE EXPONENT 21 THE STORY OF 1 26 It was night as the taylor and the miller reached the edge of the moor at “Woods-on-the Lake”—the vil¬ lage barber’s country place. A white moon spread its rays about the rugged brown country side and watched the two looking for coons. “Welcome,” said the taylor who perceived a s(e)argent approaching. But the miller was a more witty man and perceived that explanations were in order. “We decided to become hunters, but perhaps fishing is more agree¬ able. Here is a whole brook that looks promising. Let us wade in.” “Wait,” said the s(e)argent com- mandingly. “Fishing is the bane of my existence. I would prefer a dish of Campbell’s soup to all the fish in the world.” “Pshaw, a lamb chop is more to my liking,” the tavlor interposed. “Or some pressed ham,” added the miller. “Those are but synonyms of my thoughts,” were the words of the s(e) argent. Just then a newcomer, painting, hastened into view. “Hide me,” he breathed forth. I can no longer fiee, the axle of my wheel-er, that is, of my car broke and they are about to lynch me.” “Ah,” the s(e)argent was sympa¬ thetic. “Take my Morgan colt and before you can say Jack Robinson you will be safe in your Morris chair. But if you don’t you will cross the river Le(i)the, church bells will toll and your wife will be wearing widow’s weeds who is now in her chamber layin’ in tears.” “Too late,” the refugee muttered as a crowd was seen approaching, led by the aged harper of the vil¬ lage. “Then take this boat and row-by the bridge,” the s(e) argent com¬ manded, and you will come to a field near many mills in which there is a pit”—“Field, sir, thanks,” and he disappeared. “Polite, isn’t he,” the taylor re¬ marked. “Grant me a boon,” the aged man accosted him. “What wouldst thou?” the s(e)ar¬ gent asked. “Hast thou seen a man cross by this way?” “Nay, I have merely heard the birds carrolling ‘Koziski’, most sweet-ly,” the s(e)argent answered. He turned to the taylor. “Kartcheske!” that good man sneezed in reply “Ah-er-a-Korshin- ski!” “Look!” the aged one shouted. “Hoop-la, cross the road, men. Da¬ vid, son, see him? John, son? John, stone him! stone him! Cross the bridge. It’ s always chase him!” “Wall, by gall, bray though he can,” the miller muttered between his teeth. “O’s good,” the s(e) argent was jubilant. “They’ll never catch him. How’ard he runs. Surely he knows enough to go very fast!” “Let us go to the village,” sug¬ gested the taylor, capering. “For merry am I.” Then he accidentally fell on a chestnut burr. Rage seiz¬ ed him. “Sokoloski,” he muttered, which translated would be stronger than “carrying coals to Newcastle,” which is in England where the bat¬ tle of Hastings was fought. By this time the taylor, who was a swart Swede had nearly reached home. “Jan grows more and more do¬ mestic,” the s(e)argent remarked as he heard Mr. Jan Lee giving orders,” and she handles him we k’ ' “See that crow, Lee? Time you were here long ago. Take that bag, Lee and come in.” “All right. Shall I fill the coal- hod, Jen?” As the s(e) argent and miller passed into the distance they heard the buzz of the hand-saw mingling with the strains of “Kelly with his green neck-tie.” “Ach-er-but he deserves a prize, by the shades of Mc Carty’s ghost!” the miller remarked. “Let us have some ice-cream made by Tate, roque,’ the s(e) ar¬ gent remarked as they passed the village store, “and a stein-er with a stein-song.” The miller laughed and said:
