E. STANLEY TAYLOR, H eadmarter Ulibe jfarultp l IN MEMORIAM Henrietta M. Ehrhart was a beloved member of the Hamden Hall Faculty for many years. Her fine concept of education and the sincere understanding which she expressed contributed richly to all those who had the privilege of knowing her. Teachers and pupils will always remember her gracious presence, quiet composure and high ideals. Her influ- ence will be felt for many years to come and will bear fruit in the lives of those whom she has guided and instructed. Page Six THE HAMDEN HALL COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL is located on the College Highway about a half mile north of the boundary between Hamden and New Haven. The school, which stands on a hill overlooking Lake Whitney, is surrounded by athletic and recreation fields covering several acres, including a small woodland, a favorite play place. The building is a large, rambling structure which creates a friendly, home atmosphere for efiicient, well lighted class rooms. It contains an adequate gymnasium for indoor sports and a large stage with complete lighting facilities which is much in demand for class and musical projects. A common living room is much used by students and faculty, and scarcely a week passes during the school year that does not find a group of parents gathered before its fireplace. HAMDEN HALL was founded in 1912 by Dr. john P. Cushing as one of the earliest of the country day schools. It had a long and successful career as a boys' school. It is now coeducational and is owned and controlled by the parents of the school who are incorporated as a non-profit organization. All income received is used for the maintenance and development of the school. THE school is organized in five units, each in charge of a supervisor. The PRE-SCHOOL includes the Nursery School, Kindergarten, and Connecting Class. The PRIMARY DEPARTMENT consists of Grades One through Three. The LOWER MIDDLE SCHOOL takes in grades four and live. The UPPER MIDDLE SCHOOL includes the grades from the sixth through the eighth, organized to meet the Secondary Education Board requirements. The UPPER SCHOOL, covering the four years of high school, is organized to meet the requirements of the College Entrance Examination Board. The enrollment is limited in order to give attention to the particular needs of the student. THE main concern of the school has always been the development and integration of the child as an individual. All school activities are planned and carefully coordinated for the accomplishment of this end. Instruction is carried on in small groups. The school program is developed on the principle of a well rounded day. This means that the school balances class room instruction with a noon luncheon and rest and an afternoon period of social activities, sports, and recreation. The pupil is guided and Page Seven aided by the faculty not only in his studies but in his recreation and social contacts with his fellows. With such an organization it is possible to give careful attention to character development and to the physical, social and mental well-being of each student. Every effort is made to help all members of the school to find satisfaction in work well done and in a simple, friendly, Christian way of life. THE art work or creative work is closely integrated with the social science studies, and especial instruction is given in the techniques needed. The fundamental purpose behind the work of the music department is to bring out, develop, and guide the love of and feeling for music which is inherent in every child. Each group in the school has regularly scheduled periods each week for music in addition to the voluntary glee club and orchestra. The work in French begins in the early school years with songs and games and develops through simple reading and composition to formal instruction in the middle and upper schools. THE school recognizes that recreational, social, and aesthetic training is of equal importance with the more traditional subject matter, and should be made a definite part of the experience of all pupils. Opportunity is given to learn the fundamentals of the more organized sports and of many informal games. There is a well-developed schedule of intra-mural contests. Both boys and girls at various school levels have many opportunities to play against teams from other schools. Dramatics is an important school activity, and pupils at nearly all levels have opportunity to participate. In recent years Hamden Hall has produced with great success the Shakespearean plays, As You Like It and Twelfth Night , and the operettas, Mikado and Pinafore . The students in the college preparatory department publish THE HAMDEN HALL PERENNIAL PINE, a year book which contains contributions from pupils in most of the departments of the school. A program of rhythms is offered from the nursery school through the fifth grade. For all classes above the fifth, opportunity is provided for social dancing under excellent leadership, these classes being voluntary. Clubs such as rifling, student editing, photography, cooking, stamp collecting, nature work, sewing, THE WAITING STATION Page Eight metal and woodworking, give outlets for many interests. Useful and popular adjuncts to the school are the Brownie organization for girls in the lower grades and the Cubs for the boys. Many of these activities are held in the Log Cabin on the school grounds. Every boy and girl has the opportunity of entering into these extra-curricular activities, thus gaining self-confidence and experience of value in later life. THE country day school aims to afford almost all of the advantages of the boarding school and at the same time has the added virtue that the pupils live at home, the family life is not disrupted, and the teachers and parents may work in closest harmony to secure the most desirable results in the development of every individual child. EFFORT is made to motivate the activities of the LOWER SCHOOLS through the interest and creative instincts of the childen. By such a procedure a maximum of self-control and initiative is developed, and there is a marked absence of strain. The result is that the pupils demonstrate a spirit of happiness and of good will toward each other, the faculty, and the school as a whole. THE members of the faculty have been carefully selected because of their particular qualifications to put into practice the fundamental philosophy of the school, their sympathetic understanding of the problems faced by growing boys and girls, their training, and personality. They are alert to recognize and to guide any creative tendency on the part of the individual pupil, to help him to find himself, and to deal with his limitations as well as successes in a constructive way. HAMDEN HALL is a member of the Educational Records Bureau and ranks high with other private schools in the achievement of its pupils. The results of the Metropolitan and Cooperative tests have been very gratifying in all departments. The scholastic standards of the UPPER MIDDLE SCHOOL are those of the Secondary Education Board, of which the school is a member, and the standards of the UPPER SCHOOL are those of the College Entrance Examination Board. The school prepares students for all academic and scientific colleges, is approved by the New England College Entrance Certificate Board, and is accredited to colleges admitting by certificate. THE success of the program at Hamden Hall is evidenced by the fact that in recent years graduates of the school have been accepted at such colleges as Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Yale, Cornell, Rensselaer, Vassar, Smith, Wellesley, Barnard, and Mount Holyoke. Page Nine 1942 CLASS PROPHECY Looking into the crystal ball to see what we could see Here is what we unraveled, our class prophecy: Dorothy has gone to work, a stenographer to be. All her work is excellent, to that we do agree. Her indispensability we know will not decline And as the years go rolling on, her work will still be fine. Now Betty Judd has dared defy her future in the ball, Which pictures her teaching kindergarten, instructing all the small, Instead she vows she'll spend her days, in spite of prophecy Leading her own great swing band, rockin' the whole countree. Down the silent corridor a familiar face is seen In her uniform of white, we recognize Irene. The welfare of her fellowman is foremost in her mind, Her duties carefully performed will benefit mankind. Next we come to Martha who plays a dual role. First as a good psychologist the mind she does control. Her second worldly interest, a result of childhood joys Is her group of first rate horses and the trainers she employs. We turn to jean McCurdy, a friend to all of us. Her slogan in creation is personality plus. Her models of hats and dresses are simply too divine. All others in her profession she surely does outshine. Our glance continues further into the crystal ball Revealing that to Helen, science gave a mighty call. First as an assistant Helen rose to such a height That she became a technician almost overnight. Constructing modern bridges and buildings, oh so grand, He's working on a system to bind us to foreign land. A bridge that spans the ocean will bear his famous name. Jack Rasch, in all great nations, will gain momentous fame. High upon a mountain, with paint and brush on hand, We find our pal Frank Reynolds, painting his scope of the land. After years as a sailor, our Slap has settled down To make himself a figure of very great renown. Standing on her soapbox, arguing all the day We find our good friend Stefhe opinions trying to sway. And in the last election, she gained her one desire To be mayoress of our city, a thing we most admire. Rosalie has carried on her musical career And with the students whom she trains she often does appear. Also on the concert stage she does accompany Young students who are striving for a Bachelor of Arts Degree. From prexy of our senior class, Pete kept on going higher And he like others has fulfilled his well known child desire. As a scout executive, he's heading for the top And until he gets his way, he'll never, never stop. The light is growing dimmer, our memories do fade But never will we forget the impressions this has made. IRENE E. LARSON, '42. ROSALIE A.

Cushing Prize Fund was established by the Alumni who attended the Hamden Hall Country Day School during the administration of Dr. Cushing. This award is made each year by vote of the faculty and student body on the basis of character, scholarship, leadership, good fellowship, service, loyalty, and appreciation of the ideals of Hamden Hall. The prize which is announced each year during the commencement exercises was awarded in 1941 to Wilbur F. Young. Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute each year awards medals for proficiency in mathe- matics and science to students of selected secondary schools. The award is made to the young man in the graduating class who has done the best work in mathematics and science throughout the preparatory course. The award is made during the commencement exercises. This year Mr. Dowd, head of the English department, and Mr. Heller, head of the French department, will award medals for excellence in English and excellence in French. The awards will be announced at commencement.

The team competed against such worthy opponents as Choate, Hopkins, Cheshire, Taft and Redding Ridge. The team was the best in the history of Hamden Hall, succumbing only to the pow- erful teams of Hopkins and Taft. The team showed excellent examples of teamwork and sportsmanship. Next year's squad will sorely miss the brilliant teamplay of Frank Rey- nolds and the strong defense of jack Rasch and Henry Hastings. Our hopes of a successful season next year are upheld by such experienced upper classmen as: C. Berlepsch, B. Duffy, F. Colburn, G. Fouser, D. Miller, B. Neumann, L. Rashmir, V. Anderson and H. Lackman. With such support soccer should take a great step in becoming a very successful sport at Hamden Hall. BASKETBALL The Hamden Hall Senior basketball team, coached by Mr. Thomas N. Tileston, had a most successful season. Led by Captain Frank Reynolds, the team won the Connecticut Private School League Cup, scoring a total of 175 points. Games were played with Day- croft, Milford and Community Center. The members of the team were: Captain Reynolds. H. Lackman, V. Anderson, I.. Munson, L. Rashmir, J. Buendia, D. Steffen, R. Howard and S. Twitchell. Page Twenty BASEBALL The 1942 Hamden Hall baseball team, coached by Thomas Tileston, in the field, hopes to follow up their successful soccer and basketball seasons by clinching the League Cup. Although the Spring practice was delayed this year, Captain Pete Wastrom will lead the team in an excellent schedule with Cheshire, Milford, Center and Redding Ridge. The second team was coached by Mr. Todd, of Arnold College. V JUNIOR FOOTBALL The Junior Football Team, coached again this year by Mr. Thomas Tileston, had a very successful season, winning the Connecticut Private School Athletic League Football Cup with Larry Munson as Captain of the A squad. The first league game was played at Unquowa, with a score of 20-20. On November 7, at Fairfield, a score of 24-13 was rolled up in our favor. Eighteen points were scored by Donald Fouser, star of the day. The next week, Center was beaten 38-25 with Howard the star of the day. The final game, played at Daycroft, was tied 6-6. During the season 88 points were scored, our opponents 64. Page Twenty-One GIRLS SPORTS GIRLS HOCKEY TEAM Last Fall everyone took part in the hockey practice with the result that we had a fairly successful season of play. The Varsity Team lost to Prospect Hill twice, 1-6 and 3-53 lost to Mrs. Day's 0-5, but defeated Daycroft 1-0, and Hamden High 2-l. The lineup was as follows: Steffen, captain, CF, May, RI, Miller, RW, Bushell, LI, Judd, LWg Lar- son, CI-Ig DeWolf, RH, Kelly, LH, Behre, RF, Thalheimer, manager, LF, Teasdale and Mack, G. Much of our success was due to the coaching of Mrs. McNeil and Miss Hoyt and Miss Wilbur from Arnold College. The girls of the fifth through seventh grades, under the direction of Mrs. McNeil and Miss Hoyt, played soccer in the Fall. The eighth grade played one hockey game with the Foote School team, holding the score to a 2-2 tie. In the winter the girls skated at Davis Pond and went sliding on the school grounds. Baseball is their spring sport, with a probable game with the Foote School in the near future. At this early hour there is no dehnite baseball news, unless we count the new bats supplementing the Georgia Peach. However, the initial enthusiasm of a new season and the coaching of Mrs. McNeil and Miss Eldridge, of Arnold College, leads us to hope for the best. Martha May has been elected captain, and Carolyn Bushell, manager. GIRLS BASEBALL TEAM Page Twenty-Two GIRLS FENCING TEAM This season, their second in the art of fencing, the team was victorious throughout. After defeating Miss Porter's School at Farmington 7-2, and Mrs. Day's School 12-4, the triumphs of the Hrst team culminated in the winning of the Inter-Private School Fencing Cup, against Prospect Hill and Day's. Eleanor Steffen, captain, Betty Judd, Martha May, and Barbara Miller, who comprised the first team were awarded individual medals. Captain Helen Pierpont, joan Kelly, Bernice Neumann, and Betsy Behre did well on the second team, defeating Prospect Hill 8-1, and Miss Porter's second team 7-2. Both teams are greatly indebted to the patience and encouragement of their coach, Professor Grasson of Yale University. BoYs F ENCING TEAM Under the able instruction of Professor Grasson, Yale coach, the 1942 boy's fencing team participated in several excellent meets with the Yale Freshmen and Hamden High. The team consisted of Captain jack Rasch, Manager Bill Duffy, Stiles Twitchell, and Arnold Behre. Page Twenty-Three J Page Twenty-Four Boys JR. BASEBALL GIRLS JR.

The cos- tumes and stage settings were done by Mrs. E. Stanley Taylor, who was assisted by Mrs. George Pierpont. The first installment appeared on December 12 in the form of Act One, presented by the Freshman class. Larry Munson and Barbara Miller took the roles of Romeo and Juliet and Nancy Mack entertained all with her portrayal of the nurse. On january 30 the Sophomores gave the Second Act which included an excellent balcony scene and an impressive wedding with Howard Lackman as Romeo and Peggy Wilson and joan Kelly as Juliet, respectively, in the first and second parts. The Juniors opened the Third Act on March 12 with a very effectual fight scene in which George Fouser as Mercutio died a memorable death. This was followed by an excellent parting scene between Romeo and Juliet with the parts taken by Bill Duffy and Elizabeth Duncan. The Seniors gave the Fourth and Fifth Acts on May 6 which ended the play with the deaths of these immortal lovers. The parts of Romeo and Juliet were taken by Jack Rasch and Martha May. Following this, the whole play was assembled for the public on May 15. The Traditional Nativity Play with Christmas Carols was presented on the afternoon of December 19 under the direction of Mrs. E. Stanley Taylor.

Stanley Taylor's home. This picnic is an annual affair at which old students and faculty may get acquainted with new students. After a hamburger roast on the terrace, the group played games and sang songs. A delightful time was had by all. The first social event of the school year was a Hallowe'en party held at school. It was planned so that the new students would feel at home with their school friends. The motif was a Gay Nineties Hallowe'en. Each class was asked to work up a short skit which would be a kind of vaudeville entertainment. After several team games and a treasure hunt, the guests had refreshment. Each year before the close of the fall term, it has been the custom to hold an after- noon tea dance. At this time the students distribute Christmas cards to their school friends. This year the school dance was December 19th. Everyone had a very enjoyable afternoon. After the close of the fall term, during vacation, the whole high school gathered at the school and from there went caroling. The group visited parents and also invalids. At the finish of the evening, the students were guests at Headmaster and Mrs. E. Stanley Taylor's home where cocoa and cookies were served. On February 13th, the Junior class sponsored a dance for the high school. The Yale Collegians furnished music for the affair. Many prefatory parties were held and among the hostesses were Elizabeth Duncan and Dorothy Bobbe. The motif was patriotic-red, white and blue, in honor of Washington's birthday. The dance was a grand success and everyone enjoyed the evening. Page Twenty- E igbl The Spring Hop given on April 24th by the Freshman and Sophomore classes was the second big dance of the school. The Yale Collegians proved such a success that again those attending the event danced to this music. The decorations added greatly to the assembly hall. Yellow and green, the school colors, were utilized in making interesting rabbit cartoons. Each year it has been the custom to have a picnic for the high school at which the Senior class is honored. This will be held in the last week of May at the home of Mrs. Virgil McNeil at Pine Orchard. Swimming, badminton, baseball and croquet will be enjoyed by all the guests. june 5th is the day of Commencement and as usual this year the graduating class will be honored at a dance in the evening. Beside the graduating senior class, the gradu- ating eighth grade will be present to share in the celebrating. J.

Under their administration two baseball teams have been organized, and there has been keen competition between the two groups. The cooperation of Mrs. William Duncan, the Den Mother, has made many a dreary winter's day interestin. Mr. Heller once again ofliciated as Cub Master. BROWNIES This year the girls' Brownie group was greatly encouraged by Mrs. Phillip Mack, a most helpful and cooperative Brownie Mother. Mrs. Gilbert McEwen, assisted by Mrs. Judson Lyon, led the girls in carrying out their program. Their first project was making a puppet theater and puppets, material being donated by Mrs. E. Stanley Taylor. Christmas favors were made for the children at Grace Hospital. In the way of Red Cross work they sewed material into strips for cordage, and made pocket presents. A Valentine's party and various outdoor games completed their year's activities. Page Thirly-One PLAYGROUND CGirls, Grades 2-3-49 The second, third, and fourth grade group age is the period of action and competition, and of the beginning of team spirit. Under the direction of Mrs. Charles E. Dowd the play program for the girls of this group oifers not only the opportunity to learn games of many kinds but also sportsmanlike ways of playing them. In the Fall these girls play a simplified form of soccer and basketball. They arranged their teams-the Green and the Gold -elected their captains, and built up a code of sportsmanship. Their hot weather program consisted of horse-shoe pitching icomposi- tion shoesl, suction dart-throwing, and croquet, all of which counted toward their Field Day events. This year they also participated in the shot-put and the running broad jump on Field Day. PLAYGROUND ACTIVITIES CBoys, Grades 1-55 Hamden Hall provides an outlet for the excess energy and exuberant spirits of the first, second and third grade boys in the play program. Tag and chase games were popularg and athletic games came into favor. The group played some baseball in the spring-which introduced a period of action and competition, and the beginning of team spirit. Practice for Field Day events brought forth an enthusiastic response, and the boys were encouraged to participate in the races, the running broad jump, and the shot-put.

Doubling the score, the girls have eight, Three of them are always late. They call themselves the musketeersg Pals they've been through all their years. Rosalie and Rene -- so close they stay, You find them together in work or play. Helen, Dot, and Jean always in on the fung when they hear laughter they come on the run Hank and Frank study so hard, It's easy to see which one is the card.

WEBSTER: His apathetic face was blank, He managed with aplomb V To render inarticulate Agnostics who had qualms. His banal speech did not impress The blackguard in the rear, Whose bacchanalian tendencies Had banished bourgeois fear. So he in cogent words declared The first to captious be, And furthermore a charlatan Given to calumny. This diatribe caused much dispute, Made all there so distrait His deleterious language They did not deprecate. The forthright first man then arose To fulminate against This fatuous thing that dared to bring Fallacious arguments. Oh, hapless one, you've much to fear, Your halcyon days are o'er. Hallucinations such as yours Brought heinous ends before. Inconsequential this may sound, Yet incubus it gave, Creating the inhibition Causing an insurgent's grave.

The morn of the seventh day of December. On Sunday morn Ray loved to fly Up in the blue Pacific sky, Free from his work and many duties, Enjoying flight in a world of beauties. As he circled above the city quaint ' That many an artist had tried to paint, Below him people lay wrapped in sleep, While sentries paced, their watch to keep. Pearl Harbor lay peaceful with many great ships Trustingly anchored after long trips. ' As he turned his plane and steered southeast, The sign of Diamond Head sharply increased. HGreat old sentinel, that,H he thought, nHow many battles has she fought?N ' As he gracefully soared into glorious morning, There was never a fear in his heart, or a warning Till in the distance he saw black spots Scarcely larger than tiny dots. But from dots to planes they so quickly grew That fear flooded his heart through and through. Quickly he turned about his plane, Dashing for home, when he felt a sharp paing A warm stream down his ann now came, And rows of holes appeared in his plane. HThe Japs are coming, they're herein he cried As he landed his plane on its twisted side. And so, my children, I've told you quick Of the pleasure flight of Ray Buduick, That lovely Hawaiian dawn, remember? The dawn of the seventh day of December.

Though it still seems to be of a much lesser worth, It's yours by poetic license. It's strange that such poets as Byron and Gray Consented to use such a means to convey Poetic thoughts which should have been easy to say. But they had poetic license.

For the Angel of Death spread his wings on the blast, And breathed in the face of that flash as he passed. For at eighty he found that the curve was too sharp, Though he's dead we are sure he's not playing a harp. And there lay the car with its fenders all smashed, Both the headlights in splinters, the body quite mashed But Was And For the worst thing of all in this bad accident the four blown-out tires, o'er their loss we lament there lay the menace distorted and pale, another wild driver the end of the trail.

C'est Monsieur Dowds Rosalie '42 The moon is a hazy gold, peeping coquettishly between the fleecy clouds. The crisp, dark, frosty blue of winter has softened to the blue- gray of the summer skyg Everything is under a lazy haze tonight. A small star shines shyly in the West. The peepers can be heard in full, shrill force against the back- ground of the bullfrogs' deeper tones. A small breeze stirs the baby leaves. The air smells new and clean. Now only a few peepers persist as if they had forgotten to stop. The world's asleep - why should I stay awake? Helen Pierpont, '42 TRANSFORNATION Foreboding clouds stealthily creep In front of the colorful sun. The brilliance of the day is lost - Transformation of storm begun. The earth is robbed of her sparkling mirth As shadows shut out the light. The world is wrapped in the cloak of storm - Transfonmation at its height. As silently as the clouds had appeared They vanish, revealing the sun Shining on earth in its beauty arrayed - Transformation of storm is done. Each night when darkness comes, It brings something close to me. My spirit then succumbs To the lights across the lea. For they're the railroad lights, Shining brightly next the sky. I love them of all sights As across the fields they lie. I look for themg they're there Through each night in spite ofall. To miss them I could not bear, E'en though it seems so small. 'Tis queer indeed, I know, So enthralled by them to be, But I have watched them so That they're just a part of me.

This thought can serve as philosophy For myself and all of mankind. A diamond is but a few pieces of coal That stuck to their work, you see. If they'd quit before attaining their goal I wonder where diamonds would be. If people would think of those pieces of coal When they feel as low as can be, And try to stick till they reach their goal, what a lot of Hdiamondsu we'd see.

No longer shall we look behind! Our hopes, our aims, our joys, we find Ahead, though where, we can't forsee, Thus leaving keen expectancy! Eleanor Steffen, '42 HIS BEST JOB B. G. Stento thought how queer it would seem to be able to do the things he wished to do. Nine months was as long a time as he ever wanted to spend in jail at one time. It had seemed like a particularly hard stretch this once. After all, what if he did forge a check for three hundred dollars? Nine months was too long a period in a man's life to be cooped up as he had been. For two years he had been lucky. Then he was caught. Now he was a changed man. He would do no more forging of checksl As B. G. crossed the street in front of the new grammar school a piece of white cardboard fluttered across his path. He never would have noticed it had it not borne the name HHugh Naltersn on the front of it. He stopped and picked up the white object. It was the report card of the son of Judge Walters, who had sentenced him to the nine months in Atlanta, and it bore the signature of the judge. Stento saw his chance to obtain revenge and a little money at the same time. Forgetting all his promises to himself, he hurried to the cheap hotel where he knew that two of his old friends, Babe and Louie, would be. They were there, and B. G. told the two of his plan to use the signature he had found to Nsign a check in the old guy's name.n All afternoon B. G. practiced the name HJudge N. Roger Waltersn until he had the name exactly as it was on the card. Then he very carefully traced it onto a blank check from the bank where the victim had his money. Next he filled in the rest of the check. After he had finished his work he showed it to his friends. Babe pronounced it Wthe best job youse have ever done.W It had always remained a mystery to Louie how B. G. came to be caught. He had seen the check at the same time as Babe and he, Louie, also thought that it looked very authentic. Then one day Louie came across the report card from which B. G. had copied the signature. After he had looked at the card for a moment he sat down, very hard, and laughed very heartily. Babe asked him if he felt Wall right,N for Louie was not prone to laughter. Louie regarded Babe intently for a second. Then he said, HLook at this report card ------ four D's and an F, I1 Hugh Walters ever showed this to his father he would have got a lickinf, I bet.n Here Louie stopped to catch his breath, and then he continued, HHugh signed the card himself so that he wouldnft nave to show it to his father, the Judge.

Phyllis Benin, '45 Rosrsup .mn THE THIEF There was once a fairy named Rosebud. One day Rosebud's mother made some cookies. It happened that a horse-fly lived near by and he smelled the cookies. Rosebud was playing in the yard. Mr. Horse-Fly wanted to taste the cookies, but when he came to the yard, there was Rosebud. He took Rosebud in his wings, and flew away with her and the cookies. He flew to a poppy, where he laid her down, and started eating the cookies. Now it happened that Mr. Horse-Fly was a little bit sleepy. So he lay down and went to sleep. Rosebud's mother came to find Rosebud in the poppy. They both looked at the horse-fly, who was having bad dreams because he ate too many cookies. Then they went home.

Now and then a cool breeze rippled through the trees. The village was quiet except for the low conversation of the shopkeepers. Down the dusty road came Mickey, whistling loudly as if to announce his coming. HHey, Nickey,W someone cried, Ncome here a minute.W Mickey walked across the street and planted himself in front of the village postmaster. HYou want me?H he inquired pleasantly. NUell,H the postmaster replied, dragging the words out as slowly as possible, Wsome rich stockbroker is going to move into the big house on the hill, and he wants a boy to tend the lawn for him. Do you think you might want the job?N WSure thing,H cried Mickey, Hhow much do I get?H The postmaster grinned, HA dollar a week, you little rascal. what are you doing with it all?H WAh, gee, I don't know. How long is he staying?N HNine- ten weeks, he wasn't sure.H HOh boy, wait until I tell the kidstn That night Mickey had all his plans made. Thinking them over, he smiled happily. A dollar a week for nine weeks would add nine dollars to his life savings of seven dollars. And sixteen dollars would buy the blue bicycle that was in the window of Steven's hardware store. It would be his very own, which he himself had bought. He pictured himself riding proudly down the street. He would let his friends ride it, he assured himself, but he would be very fussy as to who were his friends. After all, a fellow with a bicycle was pretty special. One day as he was strolling through the center of the little village, he saw the postmaster frantically beckoning to him. Think- lng, perhaps he was going to tell him when the man was going to move in, he crossed the street whistling merrily. An hour or so later, Hickey's mother saw her son sitting on the back porch. He looked as if he had lost his last friend. NNickey, dear,n she asked, Hwhat is the trouble?H The boy stood up, lifted his arms in a gesture of despair, and sighed. Hwall Street has ruined me. That rich fellow that was going to move into the big house on the hill went broke.N Bernice Neumann, '45 A CURVE IN THE ROAD We met at a curve in the road There seemed to be room for us all The day was bright, the road was broad, We heard the future call. we have passed the curve today, The road AHEAD is RIGHT The time has passed for play Virginia Benton, '43 We have strength- our hearts are light. 313491 .4531 :wr 'fi 5 - 1-133 Qxiwgmi 4 QNX?

A little later a flint was not needed, and these guns were successful They were made of wood and metal. The powder was put in the gun by a stick with a small piece of cloth at the end of it. This type of gun, called a musket, was used in the Revolutionary War. There were guns guns that were made in very heavy and crude. in the old days. They is the back of the gun there is a metal piece inserted. after that which did not need a flint.

It shoots five bullets without reloading. There is another rifle that shoots twenty bullets. The shells fly out of the gun as it is shot.

I gave him a casual glance. As I turned away I began to think, HNow that indeed was a queer looking fellow.H Immediately I turned again to see him. This time I stared for a long time until I realized that the fellow had become aware of my staring. Even knowing this I could not turn my cutting gaze in another direction but to that of the queer little man. As I mentioned previously, our little friend was short and thin. He had a small round head with a large pudgy nose and small ears. All this gave him the appearance of being a cheap racketeer who would stoop to the lowest thing or trick just to make a few dollars. About the time that I was adding our friend's characteris- tics and getting a very low score, I heard the sharp report of a pistol, followed by several more. At that moment three armed men came running out of the bank, shooting their guns in the air to frighten the crowd. I immediately dodged behind a large steel mailbox. when I dared to peer out from my place of refuge, I saw that the queer little man had drawn a gun and was, surprising enough, shooting at the bandits. The bandits soon gave in when they saw that they were outnumbered two to one. I later learned that our queer little friend was a sharp- shooting G-man. Charles A. Berlepsch, '45 THE STORM It was a hot humid night, that night the storm came tearing across he country to rip up everything in sight, to devastate the land, to kill, to slaughter almost every human thing in its path. It was a terrible thing! I was startled from my sleep by the low rumbling and rolling sound of the quake that was arriving to crush and demolish all of us. I dashed to the door, stumbling over fallen objects, pulling on my clothes. The stairs were swaying as I reached them. Petrified as I was I knew they were the only means of escape. I quickly descended, screaming for the servants. They weren't there. They had fled in vain for I saw their little skiff being swallowed up by the waves. They must have capsized in their excitement. Escape, flee- that was all that ran through my mind. The water was rising, lapping, mounting. It was up to the porch. The house shook as another low rumbling sound came to my ears. Pillars fell, the floor caved in around me, the moans of the dogs floated to my ears as I forsook all hope of seeing the world once more. Lightning flashing, thunder clashing, all the buildings tumbling down, the water rushing in to cover all the broken remains, consciousness departed.

It is fall, and the leaves are yellow, orange, bronze, and a very pretty red. The evergreens and pines make a glorious background. The sun is going down shining on this, making it even more brilliant. Then there is the hill, Blake Road, looming up ahead of me. I prepare for this by heaving a big sigh, and I start climbing slowly up the hill. My arms begin to ache carrying my books, but two more houses and I'll be home. The driveway seems even more steep to my aching muscles. Brownie, my red cocker spaniel, jumps for joy, seeing me. we both go into the warm house and get a snack before dinner. Then I settle down to my homework. Jean George, Grade 8 THE SUN THE ROBIN The sun is high, Little Robin Redbreast The sun is bright, where are you going?

Master has a tccl box up on a low bench. It is filled to the brim with screw -- drivers, saws, hammers, and other tools. I climbed up on the bench and pushed the kit with my feet. Over it wentn Bang! Crash: Hammers, saws, and everything fell out on my poor head, Then, oh dear: I heard the car coming into the garage. My master let me out of the cellar. I thought he'd find out but he didn't. January 16 - My master found out last night. He was going to put together a bed which Little Mistress had received for Christmas and he found the tools and box lying on the floor. Boy, was I scoldedl Master will never whip me unless he catches me right after I do something wrong. But he certainly can scold a dog by the look in his eyes. January l7 M This morning master got me up early and brought me into the house. As soon as I got into the house I heard a motorcycle going up the street. Master hadn't closed the door all' the way, so I dashed out and raised a rumpus. My mistress called loudly from her window, and I came back with my tail between my legs, to be chained up all morning. Pity a poor dog's life!!! ' Susan Tracy, Grade 7 AFTER THE STORM After the storm had subsided the waves tore at the ragged rocks, which had for so long endured the beating and the pounding of the surf. The breakers were crowned with white caps vmich crusted the shore with foam. Far out at sea one czuld see the faint outline of a ship tossing about in the gusty wind Cne could realize how hopeless the people on that boat felt marooned out in the ocean that night with only the swelling waves tc comfort them. However, now that solemn quiet that takes place after a storm at sea has suddenly descended - the waves begin to cease their dashing and surging, and instead they start to roll stealthily in with just a slight ripple as they reach the shore. The sky is very different also - from a black-clouded sky it changes quite rapidly into calm and serene clouds, which form everchanging shapes. Emerging now and then from the clouds is the moon with its silvery light pouring down upon the rippling waves. Elizabeth Duncan, '43 FOOTSTEPS IN THE NIGHT My brother and I were staying at a big house in a little village. The rest of the family had moved to a town about fifty miles from there. It was in June, so we were staying to finish school. One hot night it had been very hard for me to go to sleep. Around the middle of the night I was awakened by bright lightning and loud blasts of thunder. The rain was pouring down and beating on the roof. I would be almost asleep when a streak of bright lightning would come along. when the rain began to die down and almost step, I could hear funny sounds. It seemed like the steps of a person. They sounded as if they were coming up the hall toward my room. After a little while I still heard the sounds although they didn't seem to move along the hall anymore. It was very mysterious. Then, all of a sudden, I realized what it was. It was raindrops beating on the roof. ' ' Roberta Jean Sloatman, Grade 7. HERBERT, THE POTATO BUG OF BUGVILLE Herbert was the cutest little potato bug that you could ever imagine. Some of his kinfolk are Henrietta, his sister, his pop, Alexander, his mom, Harriet, his uncle Oscar, his aunt, Matilda, his cousin, Maybelle, and his best friend Oblimifororious, the otter. , In the town of Bugville there lived Herbert. He had the cutest 'ittle bed and the cutest 'ittle quilt on it that his mother had made for him when he was an Wittsy, bittsyn baby so he could keep warm when the fierce cold winds would blow in his little room at night. In his little room his mother had made the little curtains out of some material that had little potato bugs all over it. This made him very happy. One day Herbert got a huge brainstorm and decided that he would go west and start a HDude Ranchn for the potato bugs in Bugville. Before long he ran short of money and had to borrow some. Soon he had enough money to pay back the money that he had borrowed. Now he had an excellent business and he had gotten quite a lotuof money. When one day Henrietta, Alexander, Harriet, Oscar, Matilda, Maybelle, and Oblimiforcrcus got into the car and went out to Herbert's HDude Ranch,h to spend the summer. Strangely enough the very night that his family get there his sister was captured by a band of horse thieves- He Lcrt got on his horse and after a hazardess ride he finally caught up with the horse thieves and got his sister back. when his father made out his will, he left all his money to Herbert because he had rescued his sister, Henrietta. Jan Elizabeth Oakes, Grade 6 THE BLUEBIRD There was a little bluebird sitting in a tree. He was singing a song, and that song was meant for me. The sky began to darken and it was getting late, So off the bluebird went To find his little mate. ' Ann Perkins, Grade 3 A SUNNY DAY The sun is as bright as bright can be, If you look at it you can not see.- It shines so bright on a sunny day, And then maybe the clouds get in its way. Joyce Abrahamson, Grade 5 AFTER SCHOOL CONVERSATION It was about five o'clock Friday night. The schoolroom was quiet when all at once a desk top started to rise. Out jumped Skinny Ruler. He at once began to ring a bell. All the other desk tops began to rise also. Erasers, pencils, crayons, books and rulers all came up to Skinny in single file. Q Skinny began to talk.. WSay, you know I think we ought to do something about the way we're being treated.H MSO do I,H said Scratchy Pen. WJust the other day I was filled with ink and I fell off of the desk. My owner didn't even clean me upin ' WThe same goes for men, exclaimed Reddy Pencil. HI was resting peacefully the other day and all at once I was taken out if the desk. My owner started to bite me to pieces. Oh, how it urtln nYou known, said Johnny Book, Hjust because the boy who owns me doesn't like Latin, he puts mustaches on the pictures and scribbles all over me.n Nwelln, replied Softy Eraser, HI have nothing to complain about but you should see the desk I live in. It's awful. The books are thrown all over the desk and the papers are so messy. I am terribly uncomfortable.U ' NOh dearn, remarked Skinny, Hit's awfully late. We better get our sleep. Tomorrow we'l1 decide more about it.H Barbara Stevens, Grade S. GHOST MUSIC Everyone with the exception of myself wondered just what the haunting melody was that came from the queer old dilapidated house at the far end of town. I did not wonder because I had made several visits to the house. I again had the urge to go into its cold, dark interior. The night was dark and stormy and the silver rain came down in vicious torrents. I donned a heavy black raincoat and an equally heavy pair of boots and made my way up the dark shadowy street. I turned the corner and pr,ceeded by the forbidding woods-- then a dark gigantic figure loomed in my way. It was the shadow of the decrepit old house. I picked my way up the rickety old steps and stumbled awkwardly across the porch. I say I stumbled and I did just that because the poor old porch was minus many of its boards-- boards that were in their day heavy and majestic. I turned the rusty door knob that creaked so ncisily and shoved the huge oak door open. Nothing but torturous darkness met my eyes, and a clammy stale odor reached my nose. I felt into my large pocket for the tiny but faithful flashlight I always carried. I flashed it about and the same familiar sights greeted me, the hundreds of dust laden cobwebs, the gray sheets darkened by age that covered the now antique furniture, the fallen in staircase at the end of the hall, and the venerable grandfather's clock that had stopped so long ago. I went into the drawingroom. On my way I drew my finger over a crumbling broken down table, covered by layers of dust. I stepped through a door hanging precariously by its rusty hinges and found myself in the once beautiful music room. My eyes travelled over the rotting furniture and came to rest upon the object that drew me to that haunted old house-- the organ. It was not dusty because I had dusted it so many times before. I sat down on the faded velvet bench and ran my fingers over the prefious ivory keys. A soft, floating melody filled the large somber room. I never knew how long I played but every minute was heaven, Finally, but with much hesitation, I tore myself from it and proceeded on my dread and melancholy way home. ' Bettie Barnes, '43 WINTER FUN Gliding, sliding, down the hill, Oh, what fun and what a thrill! The skating is so very nice, Take a flop and crack the ice. Skiing is a lot of fun, when my day of work is done. Making snowballs for a fort, Where we'll have a lot of sport. James Hershman, Grade 6 SUMMER SPRING A Summer, summer! I like spring, because birds sing, The sun is warm. They make people happy, even Summer, summer grandpappy. It is coming along. Flowers grow, so we go for the hoe ' And clean out the weeds f Lynn Stevens, Grade l So the flowers can grow. David Dick, Grade 4 COASTING AT HANDEN HALL At coasting time, how we run, For then our recess has begun. We get our sleds or Hamden Hall's And don't stop sliding till HSirW calls. The boys have got the tobaggon, Sue! There won't be room for me and you. But sleds are very good until, By some mishap we get a spill.H Sue, Gene, Betty, Emily, and I.' Feel we almost mount to the sky, As over the hill we ride and bump. when we fall off, we have a lump. John runs quickly with his sled, He falls down now and bumps his head. Behind him comes the rescue squad, Of Jimmy, Lee, and little Maud. Larry and Philip like to go, Down the hill and theyfall in snow. ' Often they get a black and blue knee, But that just adds to their merry glee. Miss Nutting and her Red Cross group Will patch us if we do the loop the loop. Charlotte Freeman, Grade 7 SNOW IN APRIL AT THE BEACH It snows in April I am swimming. when flowers bloom. Can you swim? Swell for snowballs, The water is blue. But it's flowers doom. The water is fun. I see a boat. Reyna Schwartz, Grade 6 Charles Florey,Grade 2 ' STARS Stars, stars, stars, up in the sky so high, Great,men have passed under you, days and days gone by, Washington, Lincoln, and Christ, our king Are some of the men whose tribute I bring. You are so brilliant in the dark, Like many a little, twinkling spark. You are so beautiful in the sky, And you are eternal, while I shall die. Clifford Dewolf, Grade 8 AND THE LIGHT GALE ON Although she had slept the night through, Anne Gordon awoke feeling depressingly sleepy. As she opened her eyes, she suddenly felt alone and desperate, as if she were the only human being on a bleak, windswept island. It was not the first time she had ex- perienced this feeling because for one month she had constantly sought a job without success, and her already scant resources had been reduced to exactly 3.87. There was certainly nothing about her room to lessen her feeling of gloom. The wall was decorated with a cheap, flowery paper, and one bureau, one chair, and an iron bed, the mattress of which might very easily have been stuffed with rocks, composed the furnishings. The room not being too warm, she slipped out of bed and began to dress hurriedly. Finished, she put on a rather shabby brown coat and hat and left the room. Because her rent was over- due, she tiptoed as quietly as possible down the creaky stairs, thinking it best not to arouse her landlady. Outside she was quite at a loss as to what to do with herself. She couldn't afford breakfast, and the stores had not yet opened. So with nothing in particular in mind, she crossed the street, and began to walk briskly about the park. The cool autumn air soon revived her spirits and brightened her outlook. A Yet as the day wore on, and she walked from place to place only to find that her efforts were futile, the day lost its bright- ness, and became, as had so many others, a jobless one. Slowly the hours dragged by, until, as the shades of evening came on, Anne Gordon started homeward. Entering the park, she sank wearily down onto a bench. Her whole body ached from her ceaseless walking, and her head throbbed relentlessly. For fifteen minutes she sat there, letting the breeze cool her flushed cheeks. She started to read the newspaper which lay on the bench beside her, but casting it down, she got up and walked slowly away. A few minutes later, the light over the bench, having been turned on, seemed to shine directly on an article at the top of the paper. It said: Anne Gordon has inherited a large sum of money, anyone knowing of her whereabouts will please notify. Barbara Miller, Freshman Wheaties THE OLD JENNY JAY The old Jenny Jay, Lies in the harbor, Her deck is worn, and she's old and gray. No more does she sail the seven seasg No more her sails are floating in the breeze. She'd set out to sea as proud as a cock, And come right back with her hold full of stock. So good-bye Jenny Jay, you stay in the bayg You've served your day. Robert McGrath, Grade 7. BREAKFAST TREATS SPRINGTIHE How many of you had your Wheaties today?

Annebet Richardson, Grade 6 ' -Yvonne York, Grade 4. G ll A HEARTBREAKING SCINE ' A shrill siren screamed piercingly. Instantly there arose a loud hum of voices and shuffle of feet, as many people hurried toward the nearest air raid shelter. The steady monotonous drone of swiftly approaching bombers filled the sky, and the powerful searchlights played across the heavens, searching for the destructive planes, which would soon be dropping their deadly missiles on the helpless town. ' The air raid shelter was dimly lighted, crowded with a mass of human beings. Anger, mixed with terror and grief, was plainly written on the faces of all, as they stood listening to the outside noises and confusion going on above their heads. Frightened children clung to their mothers' protecting skirts, screaming loudly and occasionally darting glances of bewilderment at the older ones gathered around them. Sobbing mothers, unashamed of fast falling tears which continued to trickle down their pale cheeks, tried to quiet crying babies. Old men, grouped together in the dark corners chattered among themselves, shaking their heads many times in evident disapprovement, After about a half an hour or so had gone by, the all-clear signal was given, and the crowd pressed toward the exits. The sight which met their eyes as they reached the outside world was one of complete destruction, It seemed as though the whole earth was on fire, while the bright flames leapt high into the empty darkness. No bright stars twinkled cheerfully in the sky this unhappy night. The small town was now one of absolute ruin. Many grieving people stood watching their beloved homes and ' belongings go up in smoke. The faces of all were stained with tears, and many of these were still falling fast. Even the faces of the oldest men and women showed signs of tears. The main streets of this town were now cluttered with large, heavy rafters and crumbled stone. The buildings, which had once stood along one street, majestically towering above all, were now nothing but black charred frames. Smoking ashes were all that remained of the small cottages which had been located just outside the city gates. Flowers which had once bloomed proudly in the morning sun, now withered and drooped their sunny faces, as if grieving. Gardens, which would have given forth many good things to eat, were now all destroyed by the fire. Marilyn Dewoif, vis A kind deed here and kind thought there will make a generous soul. And everyone will point out where Unselfish deeds unroll. To care for others and to see Their feelings are not nurt will be in keeping with this plea Of being all alert. Betsy Behre, '45 THE PINE TREE I watched the pine tree as it swayed And the graceful motions that it made. Its boughs bent almost to the groundg Its limbs with silver snow were gowned. Its shadows lay upon the snow Covering the ground with a purplish glow. But the wind began howling its merciless call I feared the lovely tree might fall. The branches were now drooping low The storm raged on, a merciless foe. Can the stately pine tree stand the storm, Or will it lose its stately form? will its everlasting beauty die, Or will it always stand on high? The raging storm was at its worst I But the tree still stood as it did at first, Its branches were dancing with the howling wind And it bore the storm, steadfast and grim At last the wind was calming down, The branches were lifting from the ground. The pine tree then stood in the silence of night Still the same beautiful picturesque sight. Joan Peugeot '44 ALL THROUGH THE NIGHT The soft tranquility of night has taken possession of the earth. All humanity is resting, yet the world moves onward. Down at the depot the watchman hears the steady tick, took, tick, took of the station clock. Through the window comes the humming melody of the swaying pines. The barking of Sam's dogs arises from the other side of town. A small eerie yelp, then a fierce bark pene- trates the silence of the night. At eleven-thirty sharp the night express rumbles noisily through the station. For one whole minute the earth shakes with noise. Directly after this loud outburst the world is left in such a stillness, the scratching of the watchman's pen fills the room. But soon a hoot-owl in the nearby woods sends a piercing note through the sleepy air. His comrade, the wolf, begins to howl. Perhaps her young have gone astray! Yet the bleating of sheep soon signifies that she is disturbing the innocent. An unknown crash awakes the watchman from his early morning dreams. He begins to pace the noisy floor, each creak resounding like a cannon shot. As dawn draws near the fowl begin to awaken and sing. The morning shift of men arrive as the old church bell in the tower tolls out loudly seven times--her worthy job of telling all it is seven and all is well. Harriet C.
