24 THE SAGE or they would have murdered me. I swore revenge on them but I cannot do anything against two men. Therefore I will betray them to the law and get my revenge in that way. Come with me and we will disconenct the bombs and spoil their plan and then you can arrest them.” After this had ben done and the two men safely lodged in jail, Rooney went to bed. He had not been asleep very long when he was awakened by a loud explosion. Bowlos- kie had overlooked one of the bombs. One life was known to have been lost by the explosion. The two men were electrocuted later so Bowloskie had gotten his revenge. Bowloskie was never seen again. Some think that he thought of the other bomb and arrived at the oil plant just in time to be blown to atoms. “PEP.” Here’s to the teams of Greensboro High, May the banner of victory ever fly! But if, by chance they should be beat, May they proudly say, “We can take defeat.” Now, boys and girls, you all must know That G. H. S. is going to grow. But what you do gives it a “rep,” And what we need is High School “pep.” RHEA VAN NOPPEN, ’20.

THE SAGE 23 guard around your house. When the man comes to let you know when the first plant will be blown up, try to get him while he is slipping the note under the door. Then let me know what you learn, immediately. Two weeks later, while Detective Rooney was at his desk, the telephone rang and he answered at once. “Hello,” said a voice. “This is Mr. Barker talking, please come to my office as soon as possible.” When Rooney reached the office of Mr. Barker, he found him pacing the floor. “I received an unsigned letter from Greensboro this morning, saying that the first explosion would be there at five o’clock Monday morning,” said Mr. Barker. “I have found out who is at the back of these plots,” replied Rooney. “It is the Russian Anarchists. We raided their headquarters last night and got hold of some of their papers before they could destroy them. One of them stated that a Russian by the name of Bowloskie and two others were appointed to blow up oil plants all over the country.” “What can I do to prevent this explosion at Greens¬ boro?” asked Mr. Barker. “Telegraph the plant to arrest all suspicious charac¬ ters, and keep a strict watch day and night. Tell them we will leave for Greensboro on the next train.” Mr. Barker and Rooney reached Greensboro Sunday evening at six o’clock and went to the plant at the Texaco Oil Company at once. They found the plant well guarded and after talking with the manager and finding that no ar¬ rests had been made, returned to town. A few minutes later while walking along the street, Rooney saw Bowloskie turn a corner on the opposite side and he began to follow him. “Bowloskie,” he called as he caught up with him, “You are the man who sent Barker that warning.” “I am,” he replied. “I did it not so much as aid to him, but for him to aid me. These two men that I work with do not know that I am the son of the man they killed in Russia

In two years the High School has nearly doubled in size, and a publication that once was welcome to two or three hundred students, must now win its way into the good graces of half a thousand. There is no phase of High School activity that can so closely and intimately touch each stu-
