This great addition to the home is guaranteed not to dent, bend, or crack even with the most severe treatment. After an intensive study in the art of automobile driving, Miss Sara Ripka, a distinguished of the city has at the end of five year perfected a device which will permit drivers to retain absolute con- trol of the car while giving more attention to a view of the surrounding landscape. A'utomobile drivers are indebted to Miss Ripka for her use- ful invention. Radio fans will be interested to know that Miss Dora Myers, a resident of Harrisburg has finally succeeded in her attempt to eliminate static. The great honor which is due her has only been possible through efforts of a most efficient teacher from whom she has learned the art of radioing. A new signal for attracting attention has been perfected by Miss Tillie Kline on which the Cen- tral High School Patent Bureau has permitted her exclusive use for a period of three years. Two patents have been issued by the oflicial Patent Bureau to Miss Helen Fullcher and Miss Dorothy Yost for the invention of a non-skid, non- breakable typewriter which yields to one's slight- est touch. The machine will adopt the names of these worthy American inventors. Many new inventions are being compounded for the radio, but until the invention of Miss Frances Varner, radio inventors had tried in vain to per- fect a loud speaker that could be heard at a distance of ten miles without discomfort to the listeners. Fair maidens will be interested to hear of Mlles. Mary Brosey's and Evelyn Holtzman's invention of a new.powder conveyance with the peculiar faculty of crying, Here I ami' when mislaid by its owner. Mlles. Brosey's and Holtzman's addition to the realm of super-natural is the result of a study of Mama Dolls. 5 1 I THE HERALD is pleased to announce that in the International Commercial contest held March 25th, Miss Evelyn Smith has replaced Albert Tangora as the world champion typist, and Miss Teletha Shepler was awarded First prize in the comptometer COIIICSI. A World's Hiking Record was established when Misses Elizabeth Johnston, Mary Murphy, and Florence johnson arrived in Los Angeles six months after leaving Harrisburg. All are prominent in the business world. The preliminary contest culminated last evening in the final one to determine Harrisburg's two most popular dancers. The judges unanimously agreed upon Miss Lillian Parker and Miss Sara Smigel as the most graceful of all the participants. The results of the U. S.

After many plans and bids had been submitted, and carefully studied, the Planning Commission has finally chosen the bid presented by the M. Gruver Construction Company for the State Street Memorial Bridge. This has long been recognized as one of Harrisburg's greatest civic needs, and with this efficient company in charge we hope to see the bridge soon materializing. Information Bureau Helen J.

COMMENCEMENT ARGUS QI I9 Class Poem Not to recall the passing of the years We spent within the walls of Central High, Not to relate the emotions that we feel As our commencement draws so near at hand: Not e'en to sing the love that rises high Nor do we write to bid our last farewells To our schoolmates, or to our High School life, For all these things have been recorded true, Unconsciously, upon our memories Within the past three years, in ink so dark That nothing can erase them from our minds. We write with one high aim: that Twenty-five Be known in our school's history as a class Of upright, fine, courageous, loyal girls. And by our glorious motto we have hope That in the many paths of life we take Not one of us shall lose the purpose true That carried her successful to the end Of her dear High School days: and while we hope We breathe toward Heaven a sincere, earnest prayer Just as the branches of the tall, white pine Reach ever toward the sun, nor look below To mourn their cast-off wilted former selves, May we with courage look beyond the time When we shall drop our first Well-loved branch To all the better things we feel must lie Beyond that first great step so near at hand. Oh! Let us carry with us to the end The spur to ever On and Upward strivel So may we find true happiness, and know That, 'though the way seem difficult and hard, We're better for each twig that We put forth,-- Each bud we ope. Then, at the lovely glow Of even, we who learned the secret fine Shall see above the brambles and the weeds About our feet, and, lifting up our heads, Shall see the colors fading from the skyg Content to know we are so rich and blessed That we can have the beauties of the day Pass from our sight, and with new eyes behold The perfect beauty of a starry night, Mystic, unknown before, now full of glorious light MARY ESTHFR DEIHL uv U91 Within us when we hear our dear class praisedg

THE HERALD A5 LETTERS and ART ARTISTIC SKETCHES Startling the world by its weird beauty and simplicity is the picture entitled, 'tThe Mad Rush which has just been placed in the Art Gallery at Luxembourg. It is the work of the famous Ameri- can artist, Miss Cynthia Douglass. As the title suggests, the picture was painted within two weeks, this however, does not mar its perfect beauty. Miss Doralda Erb was presented with the ten thousand dollar prize awarded by The Admirers of Youthful Art, an organization whose esteemed president is Mlle. Rose Michlovitz. The title of the picture is School Days, and was painted by Miss Erb from the memory of her own happy days at Central. Within the last two months over two million copies of College Humor have been sold. Having investigated the matter, we find the increased sales are due to the appointment of Miss Martha Doug- las as Art Editor of the magazine. Children will be glad to hear that the beloved Miss Edith Bell will again take up her work as illustrator of the famous Nursery Rhymes!! Miss Bell's illustrations are so colorful and picturesque that all children are delighted with them. MUSIC SUMMARY FOR PAST TWO MONTHS Miss Nell Phillips and her well known orchestra, the New York Symphony, left last week for a con- cert tour of Europe. They will stop at many of the fashionable summer and winter resorts, where Miss Phillips will several times appear in solo work. Miss Betty McCord's appearance last evening as a member of the Metropolitan Opera Co. met with great success. From last night's appearance, Miss McCord promises to become a favored star in the near future. The committee which was selected to decide upon the best musical composition of the year, un- animously awards the prize to Miss Vira Dunmire. The title of the composition, 0 Listen to Me, had in the opinion of the critics all the merits of real genius. Miss Hortense Temple's soprano, clear, smooth, and sympathetic, is at its best today. She began soon after graduating from high school making records for the Victor Co. and gained instant favor with the large Victor public. Sailing for her native land, Miss Ida Mazy, the famed violinist, left last week for Russia, where she will make an extensive study under the great- est Russian masters. The first of a series of concerts to be given by Miss Viola Bushman, the well known pianist, was held in Boston yesterday. After the Concert Miss Bushman was the guest of the Civic Club of that city. IN THE WORLD OF LITERATURE For almost a year the public has puzzled over the authorship of the series of anonymous novels so strikingly t'Elizabethan in form. As we might -have expected, it is none other than Miss Mary Esther Deihl, the world famed pianist. The sub- ject is not unusual, morever, for Miss Deihl always had a passion for everything Elizabethan in her high school days. To Miss Katherine Truman has been awarded the two thousand dollar prize for the best novel of 1934. Miss Trumanls book, My South-American Herof' is the greatest of all her novels. The novel portrays so realistically the scenes of ardent love and adventure that one is led to believe them to be personal experiences. More explicit and more complete than Webster's is the dictionary just published by Miss Ethel Phillips and illustrated by Miss Marguerite Valen- tine. It is only after ten years of intensive work that the dictionary has been completed. In contrast to her usual historical novels, Miss Helen Bross, popular in literary circles has recently presented to the public a novel entitled, Frills and Thrills. Dealing with the imaginary troubles and thrills of a high school girl, the book is exceedingly humorous, and reveals another channel of the authorls ability. Based upon personal experiences, Miss Marion Sipe has written a stirring novel entitled, My Love Affairs. The book is beautifully illustrated by Miss Margaret Nye. The first edition published last month has been entirely sold. U71
