Many a night I have been almost driven to distraction trying to keep my mind still long enough to get for- ty winks. 4 THE ROSTRUM About nine o'c1ock I begin dread- ing the very thought of retiring. I sit, or rather, lie down, in a chair and try to decide whether or not I should go to bed. After investigat- ing both sides of the question and de- bating on it in my mind, I decide to do it. I turn off the radio and go out into the kitchen to get a lunch to eat in bed. I get a good supply of crack- ers and turn off the light and stumble back again and up to my room. Ev- eryone else is asleep by this time so I close my door and proceed to un- dress. After I have on my pajamas and robe and have slipped my feet into my slippers, I sit down on the bed and eat my fist full ovf cracks, and then put the remainder on my desk and turn out the light and get into bed. I don't any more than get settled before I feel very uncomfort- able and wonder what that is that keeps pricking my back. I turn over and I feel as if a thousand little dev- ils were sticking pins into me. I get up again as quickly as I can and in- vestigate the cause. I find about a half inch of crumbs all over my bed. After brushing ffor a minute, I de- cide to go downstairs and get the brush broom and I wanted a drink of water anyway. Cracks always make me dreadfully thirsty. After I have the crumbs cleaned 'away I get back into bed. Even now it isnlt so very comvfortafble. I toss and turn for a long time and my mind wanders from one thing to another, like, I wonder if I turned off the water when I got that drink ? Oh, well, KeeWee will be home in two or three hours and he can turn it off then. Gosh! I never thoughtg the sink may run over and flood the kit- chen. Ha! Ha. I'd like to see brother's face when he walks in and finds himself knee deep in water. I wonder what I got in my Math testg that last problem was awful hard and I don't think I underlined the an- swers either. Oh, I guess Miss La- deau' can find 'em all right. I guess she finds a lo-t -of papers just as bad as mine. Gosh. I wish I could go to sleep. I've heard of counting sheep as they jump a fence. I guess I'll try it. Let's see, no-w, here they come one two three four etc. four hundred-four hundred one- Gee! I wonder where they all go after they get over the fence? That reminds me I was going to finish that picture I was drawing tonight. I only had a little bit more to do on the fence. I can do it tomorrow-I am going to take a lesson Saturday anyway and I can get it done before then. No-, I can't eitherg I'm going' to Bangor with mother and dad. I wonder what the movie is going to be at the Opera House Saturday night. Maybe it's Rumba. I'd like to see .that movie awful well.-I hope we get back in time so I can see Border Town g that is going to be a great picture. Oh! Oh! I didn't go to the library tonight and I've got to have my book report done for next Tues- day.-Now what was it she told us to get, a novel or a-a-? Then I go to sleep. The next morning when I awake I can't re- member for the life of me what I was thinking about last. And some one said it was so hard to get up in the D. Washburn '37 HOW SCIENCE HAS AFFECTED WAR Science has made war far Worse than it used to be in the olden days. A far greater number were killed in one big battle of the World War than in two or three battles of the Civil War. What is the cause? It is modern science. Science has given us bigger and better guns which fire morning! THE ROSTRUM 5 a larger number of shells a minute. It has given us the machine gun which mows the soldiers down when they charge. It has given us one of the greatest horrors ozf' war, which is poisonous gasses. These gasses did not always kill a person but often ruined his health for the rest of his life. There were many such cases in the World War. Science has given us the airplane which, although it is a great aid in transportation, was the cause of many deaths in the World War. The submarines were another terror of the World War. The captain of a transport ship or a battleship did not know but what at any minute his ship would be blown up and many lives lost. As a result of science the war tank was introduced. This tank would go right into trenches and out again leaving a large number of dead, and with its guns it slaughtered the helpless soldiers. There are a num- ber o-f other things which science has produced and which add horror to war, such as large bombs, dirigibles, and powerful shells. One might think that there could never be a worse war than the World War, but it's my opinion that if an- other war came it would just about ruin civilization. There are so many things that have been invented since the World War, such as stronger and more poisonous gases. faster war tanks, radio controlled planes, and ships, that it would be hard to imag- ine what another World War would be like. There are also many things that people do not know about as they are kept secret in government vaults. I do not mean to impress upon you that science has been wrong on the whole, because it has done many worthwhile things. I am merely stating how science in the case of war has caused unnecessary deaths and sufferings. Allan Holmes '37 ESSAY ON TOY ANIMALS . Toy animals-preferably soft, woolly, or fuzzy ones--intrigue me, don't they you? Or, don t they? Oh, they seem foolish, downright childish to you, do they? Well, that's all right. You're not writing this essay, anyway, I'm writing it. As I was saying, toy animals in- trigue meg in fact, I might say, they .almost fascinate me. When I see a fuzzy white dog or a pert bear in a store, it's almost im- possible to drag me away from it, but what can you do when you have no money to buy it with? Aside from the looks of these ani- mals, think orf their advantage over real animals. Much as I like to play with the real ones, I dislike having to- care for them. I like someone else to do that. A playful dog, such as the one sleep- ing so peacefully beside me now, is apt to be so destructive. Now, toy animals co-uldn't possibly be a bother, or destroy things, could they? Rubbish, I hear you say. It's not only animals I like. You've seen those cute stuffed cloth dolls, haven't you? Well, I like those, es- pecially the Dutch ones. Someday I'm going to have a room -a big one-especially for these dolls and animals. I can see it. Rather low, but broad, square. Many shelves for some, floor for others. Once I saw a picture of a room something like mine. The inhabi- tants of the room moved, and talked. I suppose mine won't do that. My collection has a small begin- ning, already. Two bears, one pert, the other lazy and old, very old, over thirty years old. Do you wonder he's lazy? Then there is a corduroy cat and a woolly, white dog. How pleased I was when I got that dog! Ran all over the place, showing him 6 THE ROSTRUM to everyone I met.-Oh, you suggest that we end? All right, we'll end this nonsense. What could possibly be better than a big romping dog or a co-cky Scottie? Or just a playful mongrel? Or a big soft cat, lazy at times, very playful at others? They're nice, even at the cost of scratched or bitten hands, don't you think so? Or do you? Velma Brasier '36 PEOPLE This is my favorite seat-this one in the back row--Jbecause here I can watch people. It's fascinating to just sit back and watch the many varieties of folks that all gather here under the same roof for the same purpose, a few hours of relaxation. It is interesting to notice how they act under different circumstances, to imagine what these people would 'be like if I knew them. For instance, look at those little boys running up and down the aisle. They are just bursting with vitality and mischief. Their mother was probably greatly relieved to be rid of them for a little while. And how amusing those two little girls with the dolls are. But the poor little girl back of them looks so wistful and they know it, too. Chil- dren can be so cruel sometimes, al- most as mean as some adults. They might at least smile at her. The little brother and sister down there are cute. Their mother looks so embarrassed, but everyone else is laughing at them. She must be bringing them for the first time. There, that's-the third time those men have changed their seats. They wouldn't do that if they were alone, though. Did you ever notice that when anyone comes alone he usually makes a dash for a certain seat, and doesn't move again? I think he feels conspicuous for some reason. There come those two ladies that ignored us when we spoke to them to- day. They act as if it were painful to move among us common people, but I don't think they even see any- one below them. Look at their jew- els! And their furs must have cost a small fortune. Probably they're social leaders in this town. The hat that girl has on is new. I can just tell by the way she walks. People carry themselves so confident- ly when they have on something new, don't they? All these women in front of me are having a lovely time go-ssiping. They say she actually ..,... ...... and it had green silk .... We were going, but he ..,... What would women do, though, if they couldn't get together like that and gossip? The lady in the blue and silver hat is relating something that she seems to think quite interesting, but doesn't her companion look bored! Why will people, especially women, try to monopolize coversation with some- thing that is of no interest except to themselves? But of course, on the other hand, the lady who is listening should at least try to seem interested. There's a lot in being a good listen- er . The lady two aisles down is cer- tainly the soul of industry. She must believe in getting things done, even as far as bringing her crochet- ing to the movies. I know if I went into her house I would find it neat and run like clockwork. But it would be homey, too. She has such a warm, lfriendly face. The man reading a newspaper is a hurried business man. There is something in the way he sits which tells that he is tired, and that these few hours must be heaven to him. I think it is ignorant of those boys THE ROSTRUM 7 to laugh at the little old couple falter- ing down the aisle. They don't seem to realize that someday they will be old, too, and they wouldn't want to be laughed at. The man is so- gallant and polite, and the lady is so sweet and old-fashioned. They have candy, too and the little lady is wearing flowers on her shabby coat. Prob- ably this is a celebration of their an- niversary o-r a birthday. Anyway they are very happy. The lady in black looks sad. She must have lost someone, and by the way she looks at the tiny old couple, it must be 'her husband. How everyone likes Mickey Mouse! Even those who think it childish sometimes forget themselves and laugh as loudly as the pest over there with the hearty horse-laugh. One of the ladies in front of me has read the book , and it's really very annoying. Shels the bore who was telling that story before the movies. She must be very tiresome to know. And ho-w all the ladies gasp and sigh at the hero, from the little girls with the dolls to- the mighty social leaders. ' And how different and rested ev- eryone looks when he comes out of the theatre. After all, there are many kinds off people, but they are all a part of the same play. Betty Moulton '37 HAPPINESS This is something that many people wish for but only a few attain. It seems to me that happiness is the greatest thing in life. There are many different kinds of happiness. You can find happiness in a palace and you can also find it in the lowest Shovel you ever saw. Happiness can be found in the very simple things of life. The birds are happy in the summer time when there is plenty for them to eat, and their little ba- bies are fast growing up. The cows are happy when they are turned out to pasture and they can roam about exactly as they please. These are all examples of pure happiness. Of course when a person seems to be getting a whole lot M so called hard knocks , then it isn't quite as easy to be happy. My motto- is, however, face it with a smile . Let me show you some more exam- ples of this thing called happiness. It is about 7 o'clock in the evening. The scene is a very rich mansion in New York City. Let us look in for a minute upon Miss Helen Astor, who is in her dressing room with her maid preparing for her debut. She seems very happy as she powders her nose and sings, then laughs and 'talks to herself. This is happiness. The scene changes, we find our- selves way down in the suburbs of New York. Here is ia broken-down apartment house. There are chil- dren playing around outside the door, dirty and ragged. It is one of the worst slum sections of New York. We go up the long flights of stairs and finally knock on one of the doors. A nice motherly lady opens the door and asks me in. I look around the room and see that although it is very bare, it is clean. The children all seem happy and although rather poorly dressed are neat and clean. Finally she says, I am so happy , and all the time her face was beam- ing as she said it. Then she went on. Johnnie is better , and with he1' hands clasped together she said, Fred has got his old job back . Even in those surroundings happi- ness could be found. So you see it matters not where you are or who you are, happiness can be found. Marguerite Herring '35 8 THE ROSTRUM WHAT IS TACT? Being only a high school student, I don't pretend to know all that there is to know about this very deep and complex subject. There are many angles and viewpoints to be consid- ered when one is writing on tact. It is impossible to say, truthfully, that tact is a good thing in every sense of the word: and it is as equally impos- sible to say that it is a poor thing. Where the exact truth of the matter lies, it is hard tzo say, but probably 'between the two extremes. One well-known fo-rm of tact is that which is employed in all politi- cal campaigns. Everyone is doubt- lessly familiar with the baby-kiss- ing politicians who go around all summer making rash promises. Most people usually believe that a large part of a politician's campaign sounds something like this: How-do-you-do, madam. My, what a lovely baby you have there! He is the living image off you. What's his name? Percival, you say? Why, what a coincidence! My own little son at home is named Percival. Dear little Percy! How I do long to see him. fAt this point he sniffs and wipes his eyes.J Do you mind if I madam? Csmack, smackl kiss him, Good-day, madam. I'm glad to have met you,-er, by the way, here is my card. Yes, I am running for Con- gress this year. If I am elected, Ii intend to see that all mothers are compensated for their trials and trib- ulations. I stand for the women's rights. And so he goes on down the street, muttering, Co-ntemptible brat! He drooled all over my necktie. Madam will proceed on her way homeward and will convince all the members of the 'household and of her fbridge club to vote for that nice Mr. So-and-So, whom she meets on the street. Then Mr. So-and-So stops his 16- cylinder car at a farm house and has a little chat with Paw Perkins. Of icourse, as Paw is the only one around there who knows anyt'hing about politics, Maw and Elmer, who has just passed 21, and the hired man and his wife will all vote for that city guy that was so interested in the crops, and who is standing for the rights off the farmers . Of course, when the gentleman is elected, it never occurs to him to keep the promises he made all summer. That form of tact is decidedly a poor thing. The person who employs that form o-f tact wherein he makes promises that he never intends to keep, is getting himself into deep wa- ter, because some day there will come a day of reckoning. Consequently, some people believe that tact is merely another form of lying, but it isn't and should not be classed as such. Tact, in the true sense of the Word, is an art. It is the ability of some people to persuade others to their way of thinking with- out arousing antagonism. They have that delicate sense of discrimi- nation that allows them to make their words and actions invariably agreeable to their associates. Tact in this sense, is a characteristic very rarely found in the common person. A person so gifted should consider himself indeed fortunate, for it is a trait that tends to make one success- ful in life, regardless of occupation. iThus, the conclusion might be drawn that tact is a desirable thingy but that the word is misrepresented, in that it is used to define graft and corruption that could more properly be called prevarication.

'Q' I 1 I LITERARY , AUNT PRISCILiLA'S SIPREE Aunt Priscilla had decided to go on a spree! This was the awful truth laid bare. She trembled with a wick- ed delight when she thought of it. For years she had yielded to her daughter's will, but now, before her son and his wife came, she would have one riotous good time! Prob'ly Jim and Caroline'll order me 'round, so I'll just do as I please 'fore they come! she mused. The next morning at ten o'clock she was standing in her dining room surrounded by pails of paste and un- cut rolls of paper. Her white hair was in a state of wild disorder, and on her nose was a dab off flour. There! I reckon this will do for a start, as she unrolled the paper, disclosing a vivid length of black and white stripes dotted with large crim- son roses. How Martha did carry on when I wanted this paper! I al- ways did like something bright. At two o'clo-ck she surveyed her work and chuckled. The walls were cer- tainly dazzling. My! Won't the neighbors stare! Let me see,-what'll I do next? . Oh -the circus I The townspeople watched with open mouths that afternoon the sight of Aunt Priscilla seated upon the board bench bravely eating peanuts and pop corn. However, Aunt Pris- cilla was not worrying. No indeed! She was enjoying herself. She watched breathlessly the hair-raising stunts of the acrobats, laughed at the antics of the clowns, and said with motherly concern, on seeing an actor tie himself into a double-triple kifot, Poor fellow! He must find it hard when he untwists himself to tell which is his head and which is his feet. She even squandered twenty cents on a song book, and cared not when it turned out to have only advertise- ments of songs inside. At last it was over, and she was tripping along ho-me, quite uncon- scious that her hat was on one side and her skirt torn. Later in the evening she stood by her window looking at the stars. The moon smiled back at her and a shoot- ing star flashed across the sky, mark- ing the end of Aunt Priscilla's spree. Linwood Flanders '40 - D0 UNTO oTHERs Driven out of Bostcn and delfeated at Charleston. the British determined to strike at New York. 'Their plan was to get possession of the city and of the Hudson river. They could then prevent the New England colo- nists and those south of New York from helping each other, for Amer- ica's force on land was small and it had no proper war ships with which to attack the British by sea. General George Washington fore- JO e THE ROSTRUM saw the intention of the British and prepared for it. When General Howe with his brother, Lord Howe, who was commander o-f the British fleet, reached New York in the sum- mer cf 1776, they found Washington in possession of the city. They also found that they could not send their ships up the Hudson as easily as they had hoped, for the Americans had built Fort Washington and Fort Lee to prevent it. Still the British were confident of being victorious. Howe and his brother were inexperienced military commanders. They had the aid of of General Clinton and 'General Corn- wallis, and over thirty thousand well-armed soldiers, men who fought for a living. Washington had less than eighteen thousand, most of whom knew noth- ing of war. while many had no mus- kets fit to fight with. But Wasliing- ton held the city and the forts on the Hudson and he had possession of Brooklyn Heights on Long Island, di- rectly across from the city on the south. General Howe was on Staten Island with his army. He saw that if he could take Brooklyn Heights and plant his cannon there, he would be able to drive Washington out o-f New York, just as Washington, bv seizing Dorchester Heights, had driven him out of Boston. General Putnam was in command of the Heights with a force of nine thousand gallant Americans. In the battle of Long Island, August, 1776. the gallant little Rebel army met with defeat. f Putnam with his whole army would surely have been captured had it not been for Washington's energy and skill. During' that night a dense fog came up and under cover of it Wash- ington got all of Putnam's men safely across the river in boats to New York. In the morning, when the British commander stretched cut his hand to take the nest of rebels as the called it, the rebels had fied. Washington was now forced to abandon New York and retreat up the east side of the river. He was naturally very anxious to find out what the British meant to do next. Captain Nathan Hale of Connecticut volunteered to try to get the informa- tion for him, but the brave young man was arrested and hanged as a spy. Washington ordered West Point, the strongest place on the west bank of the Hudson, to be fortified, to pre- vent the redcoats from going up to Albany. He then crossed to the west bank of the river, but could not hold his ground against Ilord Corn- wallis, and he lost both Fort Wash- ington and Fort liee. I-Ie had left some of his best soldiers, under the command of General Charles Lee, on the east side of the Hudson. He now ordered I..ee to join him, but that traitorous officer disobeyed him. Washington with his small force now began to retreat across New Jer- sey toward Philadelphia. He broke down bridges after he had crossed them, destroyed the provisions Cornwallis ho-ped to get for his army, and so delayed the enemy that it took them nearly three weeks to march about seventy miles across a level country. Cornwallis and his redcoats fol- lowed the retreating Americans sometimes at a distance. then again close on their heels. There were times when the redcoats would be entering a town just as the rebels were hurrying out of it. Many patriots began to despair of success. They did not see how the rebel army, consisting of only three thousand men. who were wretchedly armed, scantily clothed, and half fed, THE ROSTRUM ll could hope to escape their pursuers. Under any other general they cculd not have escaped, but they had Wash- ington for their leader, and Washing- ton was the heart, strength and soul of the Revolution. Finding that he could not hold New Jersey, he was at last forced to cross the Delaware at Trenton. The British would have pushed on after him, but the American general had seized every boat for nearly a hundred miles up and down the river. All that the British could do was to sit down on the bank and wait for the stream to freeze over. In the meantime the redcoats were holding New York City. On Christmas Eve, 1776, the city was brilliantly lighted and much cele- brating was going on. At the home of Major-General Ar- nold, a grand party was in session. The scarlet uniforms of the British officers gleamed brilliantly in the glare of the lighted candles and their swords flashed and their powdered wigs looked as white as snow. Beau- tiful, laughing ladies were dressed gayly in huge, swirling skirts and ruffles and laces. Millie Arnold came down the up- stairs hall toward the curved stair- way, looking very lovely in her blue and silver gown. Tall and slender, lher blue-black hair hanging about her face in glossy curls, she made a pretty picture. Her dusky little maid, Katie, sud- denly darted forward from the shad- ows under the railing and whispered in Millie's ear. Millie started and her eyes lighted up with a brilliance to match the light of the candles. Her heart beat faster and she clutched at the railing. Where is he. Katie '? she asked. Downstairs in de Massafs den, replied Katie. Millie hurried down the stairs, her tiny silver slippers scarcely touching the steps. Over and over in her heart she was saying, He is here, I am going to see him. When she reached the foot of the stairs, the redcoats surged forward asking her for dances, but she shook her head smilingly. Colonel Sir Gerald Carlisle was not so easily disposed of. He took her arm possessively, saying, You are looking very lovely tonight, Millie. Will you have the first dance with me ? To which she replied, I'm sorry, Gerald, but I have a last minute duty to attend to in the library. I'll be back soon. Major-General Arnold, a tall, stern, white-haired man, dressed in his cflicer's regalia, stepped forward at this moment and seized his daugh- ter Millie's arm. He whirled her around to face him. t'What do you mean by not dancing with Colonel Sir Carlisle? I distinct- ly heard him ask you to dance with him and I also heard your answer. A duty to attend to! What is a duty compared to dancing with a gentle- man of his breeding? You must know he has asked my permission to marry you and of course I consented. What more could you ask than to be Lady Carlisle? Gerald Carlisle is advancing rapidly in the British Army. Soon he will be at the top. A Major or a General or a Co-mman- der! Whom do you expect to marry? So mind what I tell you and gs back and dance with him or he may change his mind about wanting to marry you. Major-General Arnold spoke all of these words in one breath with- cut giving Millie a chance to open her mouth. Father, I will dance with Colonel Sir Carlisle later, but at present I am occupied. With these words Millie walked away toward the library. 12 THE ROSTRUM Major-General Arnold started to follow her, and then stopped and turned back, grumbling to himself, What a foolish girl! Why she doesn't take Carlisle is more than I can see thro-ugh. What a son-in-law he would make! I am glad she has fo-rgotten that 'rebel' Morrow whom I refused to let her see. I certainly would not want one cf George Wash- ington's 'rebels' in my family. Major--General Arnold did not know that at the very moment he was speaking, the rebel Morrow was in the Arnold library waiting for Millie Arnold. The heavily paneled library door closed behind Millie with a dull thud. From behind a tall screen by the win- dow a tall, blond. broad-shculdered man stepped swiftly. She flew to his arms. Her shaking fingers traced the thin, starved hollow of his cheek. It had been a long. cruel winter for the soldiers. Not enough to eat. Not enough to wear. But his men were tall, true-hearted men who be- lieved they were fighting for a just cause. Millie was the first one to speak. Pat! Pat, darling! What torture you're enduring this winter. Oh! If only I co-uld help you in some way. .But what's. the use! Father would never let me help you. He is so prej- udiced against the 'rebels' as he in- sists upon calling them. I cannot understand his attitude at all. He wishes to marry me off to that Colo- nel Sir Gerald Carlisle. As if I could ever care for that plump, pasty- skinned hypocrite. The only reason he wishes to marry me is because he thinks he might get some of my fath- er's money. But I shall never marry him. Patrick kissed ther tenderly, his blue eyes looking into her dark ones full oif despair, and then said, Mil- lie, dear, after the war is over will you marry me and co-me to live with me on the farm in Vermont, or is it asking too much? Could you be happy' living on a farm ? Millie answered him with her eyes shining, Pat, I could be happy living anywhere with you. Yes, after the war is over I will marry you. Oh, my darling, I'm so gjlad I came, he said. I am glad you came, also, said Millie, but it would be so much bet- ter irf you could come without all this secrecy and plotting. I will be so glad when it is all over. I have often wondered what my life would have been like if my mother had lived. That picture over there on the table is mv mother. She looks a great deal like me and I'm sure that if she had lived, my life would have been much happier. She died when I was born. and I have been brought up by my father mostly. and he has always tried to run my life. Millie and Patrick were sitting in the center of the room by a large table when suddenly Millie heard her father's heavy voice calling, Mil1ie! Millie! She said to Pat, Hide in this clos- et behind the portieres until it is quiet again. Quick! Patrick ran quickly into the closet, closing the door tightly behind him. Millie sat down at the table and opened a book just as her father en- tered. He glared at her. demanding, Who has been in here with you ? Why-why-no one. father. Millie said, but her voice was trembling and betraying her. Maj or-General Arnold had evident- lv' been' celebrating bv drinking heav- ily, as he walked with an unsteady tread. and he was at the stage Where he had an ugly temper. He looked around the room and th en opened the door and hollered to a few of the ofii- cers standing nearby, among whom THE ROSTRUM 13 was Co-lonel Sir Gerald Carlisle. Search this place! he ordered. Coloner Sir Gerald Carlisle, in his hurry to do his prospective wfather-in- law's slightest bidding, tipped over a stand cn which three or four candles were standing. One of the candle-s set Hre to his coat tails and he did not notice this until the flames had a start. But when he began to feel the heat he let out a terrific bellow, whereupon the oflicers and Major- General Arnold forgot what they were loo-king for and came to his aid. They all rushed out of the room toward the kitchen where the fire was put out and the drinking re- sumed. And all was quiet once more. Millie opened the library door and looked cut into the hall. The men and women were all drinkng gayly and boisterously. They had forgot- ten all about her. She went back in- to the library and opened the closet door and said to Pat, Are you stifled ? He answered. Not quite. but I had a long wait, at least it seemed long to me. How did you come here, anyway, Pat ? Millie asked. Did you come through the Window from the garden or up over the 'bank and over the bal- cony railing ? He answered, his eyes still linger- ing on her face. I came in through the Window from the garden and I waited here for awhile until Katie came in, then I sent her for you. Pat, you know the house is full of father's British otiicers and you simply must hide yourself some- where until the party's over. In the carriage barn or in the stable. Hurry before thev find you! Millie's voice was trembling in her anxiety. g Patrick Morrow pointed toward the window, his face paling slightly as he said. Look, Millie! Millie looked out on the cold De- cember nightg its very stillness seemed omincus to her. There, through the snow-covered trees she could see two Hessian soldiers who were on guard examining footprints in the fresh snow. The footprints led to the library window in a straight, unerring line. It's far to-o late, said Pat, but never mind, Millie, dear. It was worth capture to wish you a Merry Christmas. The best of luck to you, and God bless you, dear. But it isn't too late, said Millie, opening a closet and pulling out a dark cape, a beaver hat, and a pair of riding boots, Here are some things of father's. You can put them on and steal out, unseen by any- one. Quick, Pat! Let me help you out cuf your uniform. Her frantic fingers fumbled with the brass buttons of his tattered coat. But at last she got it open. Some- thing fell suddenly into her hand. A womanls lace handkerchief and a crushed knct of pink ribbon. Noth- ing that had ever belonged to her. Pat! There was someone else in his life. The horror in her dark eyes hardened them as she backed slowly away from him. Another woman, whose tokens he was wearing over his heart. He had lied to her and deceived her and she had loved him so terribly and hopelessly. How could you, Pat? Oh, how could you? cried Millie, as she stood stiff as a statue against the wall. Patrick started towards her, his hands outstretched, his whole face the picture of despair. 'Millie, in the name of God. Millie, listen to me! He spoke with his voice trem- bling. ' Millie was now at the door. Her fingers grasped the door knob so tightly that her knuckles showed white. She could hear the music, 14 THE ROSTRUM laughter, singing, and dancing close at her back. Don't you dare touch me, Pat. I never want you to touch me again! With a single movement, she flung the door open wide with Pat in his ragged uniform standing by her side. There was a sudden hush in the hall, through which Millie's voice cut clearly and distinctly, A spy from General Washington at your service, gentlemen ! Patrick Morrow started forward quickly and cried out something in an anguished voice. A shot shattered through the candlelight, sharp and clear. A pistol smoked in the hand of Colonel Sir Gerald Carlisle. Patrick Morrow buckled as though he was hinged in the middle and crashed to the floor. Pat! Pat! speak to me!', Millie was now kneeling beside him, star- ing in horror at the red stain slowly spreading on his tattered shirt. She had forgotten all about the bit of lace and the ribbon clutched in her cold fingers. Patrick smiled up at her although his eyes were dimming rapidly. The candles flickered and there was mis- tletoe and holly wreathed among them. He began to speak, his voice growing fainter and fainter, Millie, darling, don't cry. It was-just a- Christmas present-for you. Could- n't buy-anything else. My mother -left me them,-I-wanted you- the words faded to a murmur and died. Millie turned pointing her finger at Colonel Sir Gerald Carlisle, You, she cried, You killed him! She started to run from the room but her father detained her with a grip of steel on her arm. He said, You are not going to run, away. You are going to remain until the dance is over. But Millie cried, No! No! It is impossible! She looked around wildly and discovered that the 'body of Patrick had disappeared. .,What have they done with him ? she cried. Her eyes searched the room wildly. Her father spoke in a cold, stern voice, He has been placed with the rest of the dead 'rebels'. Father! Millie's voice was filled with horror and despair, What do you mean? If you do not bring him here at once I will leave this house and never return ! Major-General Arnold, a little so- berer now, and a trifle humiliated to have his guests witness this scene, relented and said, All right, if you insist on having that dead 'rebel' brought into our library I will have someone fetch him. He raised his voice here, and said to a nearby offi- cer, OfIicer, go fetch that dead 'rebel' into the library. He turned aside and said to the rest of the peo- ple who were milling around excited- ly, not knowing what the rumpus was all about, Let us continue with our dancing. My daughter will join us later. With these words he turned to his lady partner, signalled the mu- sicians to go on with the music, and led off the dance. The party proceed- ed at full swing. It seemed to be at height of g-ayety. Everyone was laughing and joking and dancing and singing. Major-General Arnold led the fun. He was still a good-looking man, al- though he was approaching fifty. All the ladies hoped for dances with him as he was a very good dancer and he was the kind of man that throws out flattery on every side. He told every lady whom he danced with that she was more beautiful than any other lady on the floor. Colonel Sir Gerald Carlisle was also a favorite with the ladies. He was' always very flattering and he was considered a very well-dressed man. His clothes were always immaculate, though a trifle flashy. tHe immedi- THE RO STRUM 15 ately changed his coat after the acci- dent of catching his coat tails on fire., He was rather fat and had a pasty-looking skin. His hair was al- ways brushed sleekly to his head. To people who knew him well there was a certain conceitiedness which made it impossible for people to like him very well, except in a case where the other person was as conceited as he. Such was the case between Maj or- General Arnold and Colonel Sir Ger- ald Carlisle. Because Carlisle pos- sessed a certain amount of boldness due to his conceitedness, Mr. Arnold thought him to be a very outstanding young man and did all he could to promote him in the ranks. And when Carlisle asked permission X919 Arnold to marry his daughter. Millie, he readily consented and tried to in- fluence his daughter to marry him. And now, Major-General Arnold thought. that that 'rebel' Morrow is out of,the way, Millie will see her folly and marry Colonel Sir Gerald Carlisle. About midnight the guests of Ma- jor-General Arnold started taking their departures. They drove off. shouting many 'Goodby's and Merry Christmassesn. Major-Gen-0 eral Arnold wished them all a Good Night and a Merry Christmas , then turned inside to find waiting for him. Colonel Sir Gerald Carlisle. Well. my dear Sir Carlisle, what can I do for you '? he asked. Colonel Sir Gerald Carlisle respond- ed. I would like a talk with you. Let us go into the parlor where we can talk in comfort and peace, said Major-General Arnold. Thev passed from the brilliantly lighted hall iota the front parlor where they sat down in chairs oppo-4 site each other. Maior-General Arnold began the conversation by asking, What did you think of the party tonight, Ger- old? Colonel Sir Gerald Carlisle looked to-ward the ceiling and then around the room, as if thinking deeply be- fore he answered, I enjoyed the par- ty very much, but there was someone lacking, and it happened to be your daughter, Millie. Where was she, anyway, Major-General Arnold '? Major-General Arnold looked around the room, very flustered, try- ing to think of something to answer him. While this conversation was going on in the parlor, Millie Arnold was in the library kneeling beside a couch on which her dead lover lay. Her face was ashen white. She had wept until the tears no longer flowed, but weighted her heart with their heavi- ness. She was thinking of the happy summer hours which she had spent with Patrick before the war had be- come so severe and he was called away from her. They had been to- gether nearly every day. She was thinking of one glorious day in par- ticular. The sun had shone brightly that day. The birds had sung cheer- ily as they flitted from tree to tree. In the fields the daisies and butter- flies had lent a beautiful contrast to the green trees which Hlled the woods. She remembered that she had met him that morning in the park and they had taken a. trolley out into the country. They had a hike through the beautiful fields and into the sweet-smelling woods. She had chatted gaily as she ran along by his side. looking at the different kinds of fiowers and shrubs. After a while they had come to a rippling brook where they had sat down on a huge moss-covered rock to eat the lunch which they had brought with them. After lunch they had turned back 16 THE ROSTRUM toward the way they had come and he had told her of his love and she had admitted that she loved him also. She returned home with a happy heart that day, glad to discover that her father was not at home to ques- tion her as to where she had been. She remembered how she had not seen him again until fall when the leaves had begun to turn red, gold, yellow and brown. She had met him at the same place in the park and they had again taken a trolley out in- to the country and had hiked over that very same route, now so dear to both of them. They had eaten their lunch by the pretty little brook and had walked back to catch the trolley into town. While they were riding in the trol- ley, sitting side by side talking en- thusiastically about the scenery, the weather, and many other things, she had noticed a short, dark man watch- ing them intently. She had made no notice of it until he had stared so hard that it had been practically i1n- possible to ignore him. She had nudged Patrick and said to him, Pat, whv is that man over there watching us so intently '? Patrick had looked in the direction she had whispered and then said, Lord, that must be a spy your fath- er sent to watch you, or why should he watch us so intently? And she had answered, Pat, dear, even if my father refuses to let me out of the house, you won't forget me, will you? It can't last forever. He had replied with his heart in his voice, Millie, dear. I will never forget you, even in death. And he had continued to see her at the risk of his life. Her father, thinking that she had forgotten Pat, had 'suspected nothing, so she had nothing to fear from that source Her father had been trying to per- suade her to- marry that dlreadful Colonel Sir Gerald Carlisle. All these things Millie Arnold thought over as she knelt at the 'side of her dead lover. She felt numb in every limb, as if all feeling and emo- tion had left her. She thought of the farm in the green hills of Ver- mont, which belonged to Pat, and of how she might have some day lived happily there with him had she not been so unreasonable and had let him explain. As she thought there thus, the se- vere pangs of remorse seized her, and she raised her arms and eyes: to God and prayed, Oh! Heavenly Father! Take me with him. Life is not worth living witho-ut him. Please, God! Take me! Outside in the street, child singers of Christmas carols from the church across the street began: God rest you merry, gentlemen, Let nothing you dismay. God rest you, Millie Arno-ld whispered softly. The sun shone brightly that day in June and the birds sang cheerily in the treetops . In contrast to the lovely weather a solemn procession moved toward the graveyard out on the hill. It was the funeral of Millie Arnold. It was a long procession iilled with sober faces, faces that were seared with grief. Among these faces was one that stood out from the rest. It was the face of Major-General Arnold. His face was as stern as usual, but there was something else registered on it. It was a mask off pain, shame, and grief. He seemed to have aged greatly in the last six months. His hair was whiter than ever and he seemed a trifle stooped as if he were carrying a heavy burden. He seemed to be in deep meditation constantly and when anyone spoke to him he THE ROSTRU M 17 jumped nervously. Today as he rode with the others in that sad procession, the last six months passed b-y in review in his mind. He remembered how he had spoken harshly to Millie because he had seen her speak to one of George Washing- ton's rebels way back in June last year and how she had cried when he had told her not to speak to such per- sons again. She had called him cruel and heartless and fled to her room, but he had only laughed harshly. He had come early one day in the fall and on inquiring of her maid as to where she had been, met with this reply, Now, Massa, don't go to git- tin' angry 'case I don't know where she went to. The tone of the maid was very betrayingly nervo-us and he had thought to himself, Millie is putting something over on me that I I don't know anything about. He had hired his personal spy to keep a watch on Millie. He had had the spy act as hostler in his stables and in this way keep a watch on her. His spy had found out that Millie spent her spare time with one of George Washington's rebels , Pat- rick Morrow by name. He had called Millie into his study that evening and told her that as long as she lived under his roof she must never see that rebel Morrow again. She had cried and implored him, say- ing that she loved Patrick Morrow. He had laugh ed in her face, saying harshly, How soon you will regret those wo-rds. It is not best for the daughter of Maj or-General Arnold to love a 'rebel'. You will soon change your mind I have no doubt, and marry' someone of your own class. I think Colonel Sir Gerald Carlisle is slightly interested in you. He might be more so if you gave him some en- couragementf' At these words, Millie had fled sob- bing to her room. She had not left the house for a long time after that and he had sup- posed that she had forgotten Patrick Morrow. He had prepared a great party on Christmas eve for his fellow oflicers, hoping that Millie would pay atten- tion to Colonel Sir Gerald Carlisle, but she had scarcely showed herself at the party. He had suspected that she was with someone in the library, and had gone there, but he had found no one there except her. A while later when he was dancing, the door of the library had flown open and Millie had stood there with Pat- rick Morrow beside her and had cried, A spy from George Washington! As if by prearrangement, Colonel Sir Gerald Carlisle had fired and the rebel had lain on the floor dead. He had thought at the moment that his daughter had come to her senses at last and had tricked Mor- row into coming there for the pur- pose of exposing him, but he had soon found out the difference. As soon as the shot had been fired Millie had screamed at Colonel Sir Gerald Carlisle , You killed him! He had tried to quiet down his guests by telling them that his daughter was hysterical and had al- lowed the rebel's body to be placed in his library to quiet his daughter. The party had gone on as before, but inside he had been seething with rage. After the party had adjourned, he had had a talk with Colonel Sir Ger- ald Carlisle and had finally persuaded him that Millie would get over her foolishness and marry him, and be the better wife for it. After that he had been too weary to talk with Millie, though he had been seething with anger. The next morning had found Millie 18 THE ROSTRUM too ill to rise, and he had thought that it was the after effects of her hysterics the night before. And the morning after she had ris- en, lout she had been pale and had not spoken to him except in monosylla- bles, and only when she was forced to. Day after day, day after day, Millie grew thinner and thinner, paler and paler, till she was only a mere shad- ow of the Millie Arnold of old. In the spring of 1777 While she had been visiting the grave of her lover, she had caught cold, which, though it had been a slight one, was just the thing to finish carrying her to her grave. In June she had died, and as her father rode along in her funeral pro- cession he thought of all these things and said to himself 1 To think that if I had not objected to Millie's seeing him, all this might not have hap- pened. She might now be alive and happy with him. O God! Must I live all my life thinking I've done a thing like that with no power to right it? Must I be haunted all my life by my past actions, with no second chance 7 By this time the procession had reached the graveyard. The services for Millie Arnold were soon 0-ver and she was lowered to rest beside her lover. God rest you, murmured Major- General Arnold softly.

Where does the crimson sunset hide Beneath night's opaque folds? Why do- the sun and moon Suspending from heavens so blue, Shine always through night and day, Star sentinels guarding them too? Why do the ocean waves roar and crash? - And brooks gaily tinkle along? Why do the birds fill throbbing throats With unsurpassed beauty of song? From some magical, mystic depths, The snow and rain softly fall. From some immeasurably, infinite source, Our lives are mingled with all. But we thrill to the pulse of life's rhythmic beat, For the world in reality lies at our feet. Jane Welch '37 MOTHER LOVE There is nothing truer than Mother Love, As I think you will all agree, For when you make things hard for her, She's as patient as she can be. 20 THE ROSTRUM She's beside our bed when we are ill, She smoothes our hair when we're - in pain, She protects us from the heat and cold, ' And keeps us dry when there is rain. There is nothing she wouldn't do for us, Though there are obstacles in the way. Can there be anything better than Mother Love? If there is, what is it, I pray? Sylvia Dean '36 WINTER Winter with her icy bite, Winter with her coat so white, Howling with her winds and blows, Mighty with her heavy snows, Laden with her frost and cold, Fearful with her gales so bold, Winter, when all things to exist Must prepare for Nature's gift Of ice and snow and frost and gale, Blending storms of sleet and hail. Florence Cross '39 AN EVENING ON THE WATER When twilight shadows gently fall, And darkness soon will cover all, The birds will stop their notes of glee And go to sleep in some near tree. From the far off mountains one may hear The hoot of an owl, so lone, so drearg The cry of a loon, so strange, so weird, Makes night almost a time to be feared. As' we glide down the stream, a beaver we spy, While the big, black bats all around I us flyg And Mr. Bullfrog adds his deep bass note As down the bright path of the moon we float. As the go-lden stars light their tiny lamps, And the lights shine down from the neighboring camps, We sail toward home on the evening- breeze While the moon smiles down at us through the trees. Florence Witham '40 HYMN Walking in a quiet wood I could See a tiny clearing near, And hear Golden music drifting through Tall trees that seemed to grow From velvet rugs beside a brook That joined the chorus, so I crept up softly toward the sound, And found A green cathedral, arched and high, And I Could see the soloist, a bird In a shaft of morning light, Perched low above the violets, Singing away the night.

Velma Brasier '36 THE ROSTRUM 21 TRAVEL WITHOUT TRAVEL I traveled along by the seashore 'Till I came to an old hollow rock, Its sides overgrown with green sea- weed And a white line around for a mark. I clambered up over its steep sides, 'Till at length I had reached its flat top, And there I stood long lost to wonder At the sight I could view from this spot. And gazing out over the ocean, Seeming so near and yet far away, I wished I might be with Halliburton On his travels for only a day. The lids .of my eyes were closed drowsily And I quietly lay in sleep, And when I awoke, of a surety I was flying out over the deep. My much longed-for wish had hap- pened, For this ro-ck was a large wishing stone, And I was alo-ne with Halliburton, And away from my seashore home. The land now appeared at the lee- ward, A great rock was appearing in sight, And as we came nearer and nearer, Gibraltar then rose to her height. We visited there for a short time, But soon journeyed over the sea, Our next stop was far from Gibraltar For we landed in old Italy. We traveled along with Ulysses, And the wide Hellespont, too, we swamg We flew over towering mountains, But we visited not in Japan. We traveled the route of Pizarro, And we visited old Timbuctoog We dined with the French fo-reign legion, And we flew with a native prince, too. But when at the end of our wander- ings, I came to and found that it was dark, While sleeping I'd made many jour- neys, Which had now brought me back to the start.

They are saying that the best fun is To go out and fish for trout. Now let me tell you my experience, ,And you will agree with me, That you can get good fish at the market And be in bed at three. We got up early in the morning Just before the sun had come up, We dressed and had our breakfast, And started for my friend's hut. We reached his place about dawn, And I had to carry a canoe Through the woods for about five miles, And my back got all black and blue. They put some stinking stuff on my arms and face, And said it would keep the black flies away, But it didn't seem to do any good, For they carried halif' of me off that day. They took the canoe and went out on the lake, While I fished up a small brookg And although I fished all over the stream, Not a fish would bite my hook. I started back and stepped on a rock, And much to my regret, It turned over and in I went, And I got sopping wet. We fished the rest of the day And didn't catch a fish. We planned on fish fo-r supper, But all we had was an empty dish. We started for home about seven: We were tired and felt almost dead. The first thing I did when I reached home Was eat and jump into bed. All I got was lots of bruises But no fish on that grand old trip. Had part of me carried away by mos- quitoes, And a nice little attack of grip. . I said to myself the next morning, ' When I was sick in bedg, If people think fishing is such good fun, They should have a docto-r examine their head. Robert French.

The team was very light and was made up of inex- perienced men for the most part. Coach Hebert, however, whipped a fair team into shape. .Although we snappy opposition for our opponents. Guilford 0-Dexter 14 The first game of the season was played on the local field with N. H. Fay High School. The visitors were heavy and fast and were a little too much for the light Guilford eleven. 32 THE ROSTRUM However, Guilford surprised the Dexter team with wide sweeping plays and passes. Twice the Guil- ford team penetrated deep into the enemy territory, only to be turned back at the last moment. Farnham, the husky Dexter full-back, was the spear-head, of the Dexter attack, scoring one touchdown and two after points. Guilford 0-Howland 8 Guilford journeyed to Howland the Saturday following the Dexter game and met defeat at the hands of an experienced Howland team. The field was composed chiefly of clay and that, combined with the onslaught of rain that persisted during the game, humbled the fast Guilford team. McDonald, Guilford's full back, was injured in the first period, and the brunt of the offensive attack was left to Captain Ramsay. Howland bat- tered the Guilford line down the field for a touchdown in the first period. Then late in the third, a Guilford punt was blocked and recovered be- hind their own goal, which resulted in a safety for Howland. Guilford 0-Brownville -Jet. 14 Guilford next played Brownville Jet. at the railroad towners' field and suffered defeat at the hands of the locals. This Saturday turned out to be a wet one also and the playing field was nothing short of so-up. This of course weakened GuiliFord's fast, wide plays and passes. Taylor, the giant Brownville Jet. full-back, pounded the small Guilford line for a touch- down in the first period. Guilford then settled down and held the locals to one first down for the next three periods. However. late in the fourth period, Osgood. Hashy Brownville J ct. half-back, intercepted a Guilford pass and galloped 80 yards for the second touchdown. In this game, the light Guilford line showed surprising de- fensive strength anj had there been a dry field, the score might have been a little different. Guilford 6-Milo 26 Guilford played host to Milo on the next Saturday and was hopelessly outclassed by the strong Milo clan. Guilford got off to a fast start and scored before the game was five min- utes old, but Milo came back and overpowered the local eleven. Cap- tain Ramsay was injured in the first period and this handicapped the Guilford team tremendously. Bish- op turned in a great defensive game for Guilford. Guilford 0--Lawrence 53 Guilford was next visited by ine of the best teams in the state-Law- renee H. S. of Fairfield. The Law- rence backs ran wild behind perfect interference and piled up an over- whelming score. Captain Ramsay was again injured early in the game and McDonald had to carry on nearly all of Guilford's offensive attack. Guilford 0-Foxcroft Academy 32 Guilford journeyed to Dover the following week end, where they were hopelessly defeated by a strzng Fox- croft eleven. Three of the -Guilford team were seriously injured in this game. Kimball, the heady Foxcroft full-back, led his team to an easy vic- tory over the injury'-ridden Guilford team. Guilford 12-Greenville 12 i The last game of the season proved to be the most thrilling during the year. Greenville had been defeated in every game for the preceding two years and was planning fn breaking this iinx against the Guilford team. Guilford was out-weighed. but was much faster. Guilford fret fff to a fast start and scored a touchdown on THE ROSTRUM 33 a pass to Spearen, but an off-side pen- alty brought the ball back and Guil- ford Was unable to get the touch- down. In the second quarter after the two teams had held each other to very little yardage, Greenville scored on a long pass but failed to convert. In the second half, McDonald scored Guilford's first touchdown. Then Greenville marched down the field tc score again. In the last four min- utes Guilford marched 75 yards to a. touchdown, Capt. Ramsay, scoring. Guilfo1'd's passing attack was a fea- ture of this game. i BOYS' BASKETBALL TEAM lst row Cleft to rightl: Omer Morin, Robert Holmes 2nd row: George Kirk, Chesley Lovell, Howard lVIcDonald, lfA'apt.j, Keith Skillin, Roy Spearen 3rd row: Donald Lewis, Robert French, Cleo Bishop, Paul Patterson, Irving Moulton, Coach Lary BOYS' BASKETBALL The 1934-35 outlook for basketball was not so good this year. There was only one letterman back from the team of the year before and the balance of the team was made up of men who had never played before. Ernest Lary, former Foxcroft Acad- emy and Colby graduate, handled the boys' team, and considering the ma- terial, turned out a fair team. The team won four and lost nine games. However Coach Lary will have plenty of material for the ensu- ing years and will have something to work on. Guilford 23-Browlwille 21 Guiliford opened the season by nar- rowly defeating the veteran Brown- 34 THE ROSTRUM ville team in a fast and thrilling game at the local gym. Captain Ramsay and McDonald were the Guilford mainstays in the forward court, while Kirk and Lovell displayed an admir- able back court defense. Guilford 14-Milo 31 Guilford journeyed to Milo the fol- lowing week to play the fast Milo team. Milo proved to be too much for the Laory men and downed them 31-14. Guilford 16-Alumni 28 Guilford entertained the Alumni next. With such men as Fortier, Nesbit and Small. the Alumni easily downed the High School team. Guilford 16-Dexter 44 A veteran, ffast-moving Dexter team hopelesslv defeated the Guil- ford team at Guilford 44-16. The Guilford team was out-classed by the Stonier five. Guilford 29-Foxcroft 27 Guilford ended their losing streak by downing a fast Foxcroft team at the Foxcroft. hall. McDonald, rangy Guilford center. was the scoring punch for Guilford, tallyfing 14 points. This game proved to be very exciting as the two teams were so evenly matched. ' Guilford 19-Brownville Jet. 51 The next night. the Guilford team journeyed to Brownville Jct. where the railroaders downed the Guilford team 51-14. The powerful Junction team. led bv their lankv center, Mc- Innis, scored an easy victory. Guilford 18-Brownville 13 The return game with Brownville proved to be an exciting one for 'both teams. Brownville, playing on their own floor. was confident of a win. but the Lary men showed surprising strength and downed the fast Brown- ville men 18-13. Guilford 19-Sangerville 27 Guilford was host to their age-old rival, Sangerville. The Sangerville team had a veteran a.rray and defeat- ed the Guilford club 27-19. Meader, Sangerville guard, was the outstand- ing man on the floor, while McDonald, lanky Guilford center, was high scorer. Guilford 12-Monson 48 Following the Sangerville game, the Laryi men made the trip to Mon- son, where they were outclassed by a smooth-working machine from Mon- son Academy. Guilford's team, rid- dled bv sickness. stood no chance against the Larson men. Guilford 33-Sangerville 35 Guilford visited Sangerville and nearlv turned the tables on a confi- dent Sangerville five. This proved to be Guilford's most thrilling game of the year. Guilford led at the half 13-12. but a disastrous third quarter shelled defeat for the Lary men. With onlv five minutes left to play and Guilford trailing Sangerville by 18 points. the Guilford five uncorked a bag of tricks and the game ended with Guilford on the small end off a 35-33 score. Guilford 42-Wassokeag 22 Guilford was entertained lb-v the W assokeasr school at Dexter the next night and easily' downed them 42-22. The Guilford machine clicked perfect- lv and the Wassokeaq five was no match for them. Guilford 13-Newport 32 Guilford was next visited by a fast Newport team. who, after getting away to a slow start. downed the lo- cal five. 'The passing of this team was admirable. THE ROSTRUM 35 TOURNAMENT Guilford 25-Foxcroft Academy 27 At the annual Milo tournament Guilford was surprisingly defeated by a fast Foxcroft Academy team. The game was nip and tuck all the way and when the Hnal whistle blew, the score was knotted 23-23. An overtime period of two minutes fol- lowed and a chunky guard from Fox- croft finally looped a lengthy shot though the strings and the game was over.

THE ROSTRUIVI MINSTREI, SHOW FRESHMAN CLASS THE ROSTRUM 39 ONE ACT PLAYS MSPREAJDVING THE NEWS Spreading the News , an Irish folk play written by Lady Gregory, was presented under the direction of Miss Adah Savage. This was an in- teresting entertainment with Cora- belle Fairbrother as Mrs. Tarpey. the applesellerg Keith Washburn as Jack Smith, who was supposed to have been murdered, Allan Holmes as Bartley Fallon, the accused man, Marion Ridley as Mrs. Fallon, his wife. Others of the cast. were: Sally Aldrich, Shawn Early: Webber Davis, Tim Casey, Robert Holmes, James Ryan, Dariel Maxfield, Mrs. Tully: George Kirk, a policeman, and Phillip Andrews. a magistrate. This com- edy clearly portrays how gossip trav- els. The costuming and setting of the play were very good. On the whole, Spreading the News was ai very pleasing play. JUDGE LYNCH Judge Lynch , presented under the direction of Mrs. H. R. Patterson, is a play portraying the tragic deal- ing out of justice by ignorant moun- tain folk. The parts were ably played with Martha Pierce as Ma Joplin: Robert Stubbs as Ed Joplin, Jane Welch as Ella, Ed's wife, and Roy Spearen as the Stranger. Judge Lynch is la play showing how mountaineer folk. acting on im- pulse. lynched a negro for the mur- der of a man. Though the negro is innocent. he is made to suffer the- penalty of death, while the Stranger, the guilty party. gets off scoft-free. Ed Joplin. as ia witness of the lynch- inff returns home to portray very vividly t.o his folks and the Strantqel' what he has just seen. The play moves on to a close, and though the Stranger gives many signs of being the guilty man, the mountain zfolk fail to realize it, and continue to think that they have done the right thing in lynching the negro.

Found on a History Test: International arbitration is a way to protect the United States from in- sects from other countries. Ships are inspected before unloading 'be- cause of troublesome insects. Not even the Seniors are immune from that habit people have of mak- ing mistakes, because Mr. Hebert learned from one of those illustrious persons that, Hamilton believed in a government by the learned and ex- tinguished men . Mr. Hebert was also told that Eng- land defeated France in the Boer'War about 1875. Mr. Kassay: Miss Packard, what is it that plants need in an aquarium that plants need outdoors ? Miss Packard: Plenty of sun- shine and rain. Daffy-nitions Kentucky -Derby-A tall silk hat. I. W. W.-I won't work. Banana Peel-Food article that brings the weight down. Diplomat-Man who remembers a lady's birthday, but not her age. Scotland Yard-Thirty-five inches. Etc.-Sign used to make other geople think you know more than you o. One day Mr. Hebert was out of the room for a short time. When he re- turned he ffound that everyone had taken advantage of his absence and was having a hilarious time. I'd like to know why it is, he re- monstrated, that you are never working when I come back into the room. It's because you wear rubber heels, was the reply. Then there was that day in History class when Mr. Hebert said, In the House of Representatives, the mem- bers sit on the floor in sections. Another day, Spearen said that the Roman Empire was at the height of its glory in the sixteenth century. In Chemistry exam: What are radicals, Give exam- ple. Stacy: Radicals are groups of things that act as one. Example: A ball team. In a Science class: Mr. Kassay was speaking of Ein- stein's theories and said that there were only about twenty-five men in the world who thoroughly understood Einstein's theories. Miss Packard: Mr, Kassay, are you one of them ? I I l 1 THE ROSTRUM 47 Bobby th-ad never had such a tough time in his life. First he got angina pectoris, followed by arteriosclerosis. Just as he was recovering from these he got pneumonia, followed by pulmo- nary phthisis and tuberculosis. Somehow he got over them just in time to get appendicitis, to say noth- ing of pyorrhea. All in all, he never knew how he pulled through it. It was the hardest spelling test he had ever seen. Mr. Hebert: Who was the smart- est inventor ? McDonald: Thomas Edison. He invented the phonograph and radio so people could stay up all night and use his electric light bulbs. He struck her, but she uttered no word. Again he struck her, but no sound eskiaped her lipz. Once mor he hitter on the hed, but brave thing that she wuz, she did not whimper. Then, enraged beyond awl reezon at her unconcern, the brute gave vent to a lo maledikshun and began rein- ing blos on 'her purty littl hed, even skratching her in his madnus. Even thru this she held her peece. But at length, her feelings at the blazing point, she gave a reluktant sputter and burst into flaim. For, you see, she wuz only a match. ! -Q- We have had quite a number of exchanges this last year with prom- ises of more for the coming year.
