To our beloved kinsmeng i To our officers and teachers, beloved, too, To our kind friendsg I extend to you one and all, in the name of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Fourteen, a most cordial and sincere Welcome. JOHN PooLER HARIXISON, JR. :- CLASS POEM The night is dark-the tide is high, A dense grey fog hangs low, Along the shore of Newfoundland The lights flash to and fro. The fishers hurry to their boats, There's joy in every heart, They hoist the sails, the lines are taut, 'Tis time for them to start. And so, resolved to do their best, Each sure his luck will be The best of all the fishermen, The boats start off for sea. Some to the north, and south, and east, Still more out toward the west, For each one lays his course where he Thinks luck will be the best. THE CHRONICLE Some know not where they wish to go, And closely hug the shore, And others simply trail the wakes Of those that go before. For days the weather is the best, From morn to setting sun, The sea is calm, the fish run well, There's work for everyone. But one fair morn, while they're at work, The wind falls, like a pall, And then they know, without a doubt, They'll strike a nasty squall. The Hsher quickly pulls his net, And starts to reef the sail, And makes all preparations ' Against the coming gale. The storm comes on-the roaring gale Gives them a fearful shock- A flash! a crash! and three small boats Are dashed against a rock! - In one boat are four fishermen Not hardy as the rest, They are no match for that wild sea, Although they light their best. From the second fated boat, VVhich crumbled like a leaf, One man alone is saved, and he A coward and a thief. He takes the only dory there, Knocks down his weaker mates, And rows himself away from harm, And leaves them to their fates. .A 1. A. THE CHRONICLE Aboard the third boat on the rocks, Is seen a group of men NVho think of home, and those whom they May never'see again. Two of their group have perished, and They feel a giant wave Grind their boat beneath them, and They call on God to save. VVhen-see! there! coming toward them, As in answer to their call, They spy a tiny fishing boat, That comes to save them all. It's coming nearer, nearer still, In spite of dashing wave, And now it's reached their boat-oh, Thank God! for they are saved. Pk Pk :oc if :sf :of The night is gone, the storm has passed, 'Tis early in the morn, The beach is filled with village folk, From watching, tired and worn. Each has his fears, yet hope still fills The heart of everyone, W'hen, suddenly, dark sails are seen. Against the rising sun. And thro' the day, and all the night The workers come ashore, Not eighty joyous fishermen, But only sixty-four. Some bring back cargoes rich in fish, And others none at all, ' lvhile some come in with tattered sail That tells of harmful squall. THE CHRONTCLE All praise the one who saved his mates, Although no goods has he, And speak in scornful words of him W'ho acted cowardly. And so each one brings what he has, That all the world may see- In worldly riches, cowardice, Gr great humanity. , And now today, we leave the port For Life's wild, storm-tossed sea, To us just now the way looks clear, What will the future be? When storms we meet, with roaring gale, And into danger run, e Shall we turn coward, or shall we stay And save the weaker one? Shall we come in with cargoes rich, Or come with empty hold? Or shall we come with tattered sail, When all the story's told? Let's fill our hold with high resolve, With faith, and conscience clear, Let's seek to find the world's best gift- A life that knows no fear. Let us come back with decks all cleared, Our lines all trim and taut, And hear the captain greet us: Mates, A goodly light-well fought. MATTIE E. CYBRIEN L... 7254 THE CHRONICLE ORATION RESPONSIBILITY N a recent number of the Atlantic Monthly was set forth most graphically a description of a huge locomotive rushing head- long in its midnight course through a small village. Several miles away the powerful headlight is seen fingering rails and telegraph poles with a shimmer of light. Silently, the twentieth century limited draws nearerg then suddenly it is almost above you. A wild roar of steam and driving wheels, the wail of the hoarse whistle at the cross- ing, and then, looming black against the sky, it smashes past. High in the cab window a motionless figure peers ahead into the night. Suddenly he is blackly silhouetted by the glare of the open fire-door, and in the orange light is seen the fireman swinging back and forth as he feeds his fire. The light burns against the flying steam and smoke above, then blackness-and now the white windows of the Pullman flicker past, and through the swirl of dust and smoke the two red lights sink down the track. Do we realize what this picture means? Imagine this almost animate monster tearing along its path ninety miles an hour, vomiting clouds of crimson smoke from its mouth, the oil reeking from its pant- ing sides. Ahead of the long body of the locomotive, extending in- credibly beyond the small front windows of the cab, the trackg from side to side the engine rocking like a plunging derelict, and, huddled up in the monster's very heart sits a motionless figure, his hand finger- ing throttle and air-brake. Looking far back, all is darkness, except the shining squares of light from the Pullmans. Here is his care, hundreds of souls peacefully sleeping and unaware. Here is his responsibility. What a responsibility! Again, is there any picture which brings more vividly to mind, closer to heart, what responsibility is, than that of a gorgeously fitted, modern vessel, an Imperator, as she plows the ocean, a massive bulk, darkly outlined against merging sea and sky? Aboard, her thousands of passengers are dreaming, it may be, of home and friends. Their trust lies in one man. There he stands aloft on the bridge, peering into the dark, a mere man guiding this leviathan of steel with its precious burden of human souls over the perilous deeps. Realize his responsibility. VVhat a responsibility! THE CHRONICLE 255 Yet, how insignificant it is when compared to that of great na- tional leaders. There was a man, reared in a log cabin-you know of whom I speak-who worked on the farm in his youth, hewing trees and fence rails all day and studying by the oil lamp at night, whose school- ing did not amount to more than one year. But this man, Honest Abe, pushed and struggled through trials and hardships to become the most respected, the most beloved president of our nation. And when the great crisis came, he did not Hinchg he accepted the re- sponsibility of civil war and carried through the great confiict regard- less of all opposition. Responsibility! VVho can escape it, no matter what his walk in life may be. It is a solemn thought, appropriate for this time and occasiong for it is with us and such as we-thousands of young people throughout the land who are meeting as we today are met--that the solution of the future problems of city, state, and nation rests. We are the growing youth from whom will be picked the leaders, the men and women who must bear responsibility. We have had superior opportunities. Not only have we received the nine years of education required by law, but four more,-years of cultivation and refinement in one of the best schools in the country, under a corps of most efficient teachers, and above all, under the watchful eyes of two 'most fatherly men. But we are about to leave this school, to enter upon a life less radiant with joys, heavier with cares. Success in it will depend in part-nay, I will venture to say wholly-on how we meet our respon- sibilities. For responsibilities will come, they seem to be a necessary attribute of life. Everyone has apportioned to him a certain number of them. Nor is it the man who bears merely his own who becomes great, it is he who assumes additional responsibilities which exist on every hand, perhaps shunned by their rightful bearers. Is there one among us who intends narrow-mindedly, in self-love, to creep into a corner, avoid every care except that which is thrust upon him by force of necessity, shrink from every duty except the one the reward of which will be poured into his own personal treasury? Is there one of us who will recline on his couch while responsibility waits at his side? Who among us intends seltishly to seek the easiest road possible, hoard every miserly penny, carry it with him to his grave, a useless member of society-- a nothingness in deed and word P ...d L. 256 THF CHRONICLE If there be such a one, he must be content to wear the brand, the shameful brand, of cowardly failure. Let us, then, enter upon our new life with the determination to push bravely into the midst of duties. Let us not, in hopeful expec- tation, wait for our ship to come in, while the hum of ambition, thrift, and determination is heard around us. NVhen responsibility beckons, let us push forward, bear bravely up, even though the load be heavy, even though we may not be then rewarded. The greater responsibili- ties are rewarded only by their dutiful and successful fulfillment. Those who have experienced and bravely borne, even this early time in life, heavier burdens than most of us should not be discouraged, for they will be better fitted to assume greater burdens in the future. Others of us may well take these as an example, and bear our smaller responsibilities as bravely, that we may be better qualified to cope with greater ones. Let us all look not, standing upon tiptoe, into the future, dazzling with imagination. Live in the present. Perform the little, simple duties first, then push forward to mightier achievements. Pr0grcdc're ad S1l'I111l11l1'1Z'fU F. PAUL EAsr.AND. -,iii-il ESSAY THE THOUGHTS WHICH REMAIN OW that weihave all but finished our High School course, ex- aminations, essays, and homework being 'a thing of the past, just what are the memories of our life here which hold fore- most place in our minds today? Are they bitter thoughts of the awful nights before exams, or of the times we have given up pleasures for the sake of studies? Are they thoughts of joy because no longer shall we be confronted with a formidable array of books, dismal reminders of work to be done? Far from it! Instead, I believe I am perfectly safe in saying that there is scarcely a person in the Class of-1914 who has not overlooked all these disagreeable points and now is thinking regret- fully that his days in the High School are numbered. Confidently assuming that this is the general frame of mind, I shall take advantage of such amiability of spirit to recall to you scenes of our life here, t ,J THE CHRONICLE 257 which, while interesting to all, to many of us bring up pleasant per- sonal recollections. First, let memory carry us back to that long, long ago time, our Freshman year. For many of us, the only event in that period worth remembering is when we acquired fame-if it could be so called-by receiving one demeritg for others, it is the happy day we vaunted before our admiring parents our first report card- which held forth such alluring prospects that-unsophisticated children as we were- we dreamed of some day becoming noted, even of being Valedictorian perhaps. After the first year, however, such affairs as demerits and marks, while most painfully interesting to many of us, are rivaled by' events outside the school curriculum, it is true, but nevertheless an important part of our life here. One of the best examples of these trivial affairs which cling so closely to our memories is the display of school spirit. Probably all of us have attended a mass meeting held just before some big game. VVe recall how everyone gathered in this hall and listened more or less cynically as different athletes mounted the platform to try to raise enthusiasm by eloquent speeches. All of them made confi- dent remarks about the prowess of the team, all of them attempted to prove that the prospects of winning were never brighter, and all brought their address to a close with the bold assertion that the other side didn't stand a ghost of a chance. But still we remained cold and unmoved. Then some young man, famed for his wonderful range of voice, would lustily start the class cheers. How could anyone help but be impressed upon hearing those wild and mighty yells? But the enthusiasm always reached the highest pitch when the strains of our inspiring school song resounded through the hall, everybody joined in with all his might regardless of whether he had a singing voice or not. Here one could see the reserved and icy young lady who in the classroom could never be induced by prayers or entreaties to raise her voice, vieing with the champion class rooter in making herself heardg and lo and behold, there was the solemn-looking youth who to all appearances would never deign to open his mouth excepting to utter some learned remark, singing vigorously, with uplifted eyes and inspired look on his face as if calling upon all the powers that be for help in the approaching game. And then, the song over, the meet- ing disbanded, everyone fully convinced that our -team would win. VVhether it did or not, however, has nothing to do with this essay. 258 THE CHRONICLE And those of us who were admitted to debating or literary clubs certainly hold distinctly in memory our sensations when 'we were first chosen to give our weighty opinions about some all-important political question, or in the literary club we were given the milder task of preparing a life sketch of some noted author. How, on the appointed day, we stepped boldly for such was the intentionj to the front of the historic Lecture Roomg how we tried to utter our long-practised ar- guments and speeches in decisive, commanding tones. Whether we succeeded or not-well, how little it matters after all. Then the Mock Trials and Public Debates-who of us could ever forget the displays of wisdom we were treated to there! And forever shall we cherish the memory of those social affairs given by the girls' clubs, leaving mingled recollections of Virginia reels, wonderful punch, and plays with fair heroines and gallant though somewhat ladylike heroes. Undoubtedly, however, the thought of the friendships we have formed during these four years is dearest to us today. As we let our eyes wander among our classmates, we notice very few with whom we do not hold some slight acquaintance. And how did acquaintance start? Perhaps in the recitation room where we felt drawn to each other by the' common burden of study. Or maybe it was as we awaited our turn in the office, that dread tribunal room where all troubles and offences are heard, and justice meted out. Again, it may have been in the gymnasium as we jumped blithely around in athletic activities. But of course such instances served merely as starting points. It was at recess, if in school at all, that friendships developed. Then we relieved ourselves of all the conversation which had been pent up during the morning, over sandwiches and cakes in the lunch- room, or in the dressing-rooms as we stood in the long line before the mirror, waiting patiently to prink up a bit fthis applies only to the girls, I supposej, while others of us became very friendly as we sauntered idly up and down the corridors. However it happened, it is sufficient to say that today this friendship does exist, and is about the only one of the pleasures of our life here which is still real and not merely a memory. In a few years this too may have lost its reality, for as our various occupations lead our minds into different channels, the mutual sympathies which formed our friendships must of course wane. Yet even though this may happen, if some time in the future we should by chance meet a former school chum on the street and after some hesitation exchange rather doubtful greetings, THE CHRONICLE 259 the memory of that friendship will always remain, and pleasant mem- ories are among the dearest of possessions. But let no one think that we shall forget our studies altogether among these other remembrances. They are the real purpose of our presence here. Yet, just as in a play, we cannot think of the main plot without remembering the sub-plots and minor episodes, so these frivo- lous affairs of High School life will always intrude on our thoughts when we attempt to consider only our work here. What one of the many studies we have taken can we think of without recalling class- mates and teachers, and these in turn give place to recollections of a more personal character? We do not, of course, think of the temporal annoyances we experienced in doing our tasks, rather our thoughts dwell on the advantages gained from study. NVe can remember, how- ever, the many times we envied the people who were through with the seemingly everlasting tedium of study, who were not troubled with the thoughts of passing almost insurmountable barriers in the way of marks, and those individuals who boasted that they could leave school whenever they wanted to. But now we feel just pride as we com- fortably consider that we have honorably finished all this work and lived up to all requirements so that now nothing stands in the way of our receiving a diploma. If as we are finishing our course in life, our memories shall cor- respond to those we hold today, if we can recall that we have always had enough interest in our fellow creatures to take pleasure in their companionship while at the same time we have held to some serious purpose, conquering all difficulties and working for a reward as We have here, then we may truly believe that we have attained success in life. , VERA NIARIE CRAIG. HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1914 T gives us very great pleasure, ladies and gentlemen, to behold Tj such a vast gathering of interested spectators this afternoon in the halls of our revered Alma Mater. No exercise of our powers of intuition is necessary, for your countenances disclose that you are one and all intelligent intelligence-seekers. As has been ad- vertised by word of mouth and of pen, the marvelous accomplishments l 4 260 THE CHRONICLE of the illustrious Class of 1911 were to have been enumerated to you today. It is due to this publicity, we realize, that this assemblage of distinguished persons is so very extensive, and it is this publicity, we take the liberty to add, which has made the class history the drawing card of today's program. We are conclusively assured that adver- tising pays. The present age is indeed progressive. This fact is presumably being brought nearer home to you as time goes on, and as a statement of fact, needs no statistical confirmation. VVe have said that the age is progressive. We now confront you with the irrefutable assertion that the Class of 1914 is even more lightning-like in its rapid progress than is the age. In order that you may comprehend the verisimilitude of what has been declared, you will doubtless demand weighty proof. We hesitate nary a moment before complying. Therefore, for your edification and the dispelling of whatever vision-obstructing cloud there may be upon the horizon of your mind's eye, we shall proceed in the elucidation of the well-nigh incomprehensible importance of our already celebrious class. I An important illustration of the marvelous progressiveness of our far-famed class is this screen to which I now call your attention. It may be visible only to your imagination, yet upon it will be thrown reproductions of our remarkabledeeds. And so, for one brief half hour-we won't intrude upon your valuable -time further-imagine yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, the audience of a moving picture house. Call it the Empire, if you like, the Hartford, or the Princess. You can all see this immense crowd of girls and boys who throng Hopkins Street, eager to enter this imposing edifice, and you im- mediately conclude that it is September 10, 1910. The multitude seems innumerable, in reality there are six hundred and fifty-eight students, 'constituting a larger class than any one preceding. Since then, however, parents have profited by the example of our parentsg have sent their children to follow as nearly as possible in our footsteps, with the result that succeeding entering classes have surpassed ours in numbers. Across the street from these embryonic geniuses you behold a throng of upper classmen, all interested in our advent. The inevitable police are on hand also, you notice. They have been warned that the cheering by our enthusiastic welcomers must not be so ear- splitting but that the train announcer at Union Station may be heard by transient Hartfordians. 9 THE CHRONICLE 261 The scene suddenly changes to one which typifies the earnestness displayed by the young scholars throughout every day of the school year. You can see them easily mastering Latin and English composi- tion, dipping into the pools of science, and finding that after all X is a real cross. upon which all may be hanged, entirely oblivious of the fact that, excepting the faculty, they are the only occupants of the building. For the teachers, realizing the danger of our being con- taminated if allowed to mingle with upper' classmen, wisely decreed that we attend an afternoon session. Because of this careful rearing, we continued to develop physical and mental strength, free from the injuries into which our impetuosity might otherwise have led us, had we been allowed to enter the field of athletics. This next scene portrays the concert given by the Glee Clubs for the benefit of the Athletic Association. Among the members you can easily distinguish five Freshman girls and thirteen Freshman boys. Ah! This picture shows the unprecedented performance of a Fresh- man boy conducting, actually conducting, the Boys' Glee Club in a most difficult selection. We well remember the applause he received from his classmates. You now behold eight Freshman girls and five Freshman boys diligently picking tunes on their instruments in the Mandolin Clubs. And here is a picture of the participants in the choir concert. Previous to that year it had always been given in this hall, but the size of the choir was now so greatly augmented that Mr. Bald- win deemed it prudent to hold the concert in Foot Guard Hall. Even there the seating capacity was inadequate. Realizing, however, that without the assistance of the Freshman songsters, the concert would be a failure, the conductor readily made room for us on the groundiioor. The scene before us now is one of spring-time for the annual Freshman-Sophomore flag-rush. But the Sophs, poor chaps, are wise. They have sized up our strength, which had previously been large enough for the gym., but too large for it to hold us, with the result that we had to rest content with a few lectures about the instructor's bcpfhood days on the Hudson. So these wise Sophs shake their heads, and the rush is called off. The only happening of our Freshman year which causes any re- gret is the resignation of our revered principal. Our alarming num- bers so far preyed upon his health that he felt obliged to turn our management over to another. Not willing, however, to alienate himq self entirely from our class, he agreed to help us through the remainder 262 THE CHRONICLE of our High School course as Principal Emeritus. His resignation is not to be thrown upon the screen, for we have resolved not to recall vividly any sad recollection. And now, friends, you behold us migrat- ing in June, lflll, from the Freshman Class into the Sophomore Class. So far our record has been most praiseworthy. How time flies! One year has passed, again September rolls around. Wle enter upon our second year a triHe self-conscious, yet self-confident. XVe should have been dauntless even if the number of rather antagonistic upper classmen had not been decreased by gradua- tion, and even if we had not had the experiences of Freshman life to guide us. Now the roll is being called: Miss Frazzle? Left High School to go to work in a millinery store. Mr. Green? Clerk in a paint shop. Mr. Pompadour? At work trying to learn the barber's trade. And thus we learn that our numbers have dwindled from six hundred and fifty-eight to three hundred and ninety-five. Noble souls! They have all left us to aid some other in his need. What a sacrifice! And as their dear faces pass from us forever, Trinity Field appears. Doubtless you have already surmised the cause of the downcast looks which those Freshmen are wearing. No wonder they are glum, foriwe have just trimmed them right soundly in the annual meet, as we did in the annual Hag-rush, which was again restored. Still we pass on. Inasmuch as the football field at New Britain was a veritable mud puddle, the moving picture man couldn't include it in his reel. Never- theless, it is worthy of mention that four Sophomores played on the team that went down to defeat before our dear friends. And just think! One of those four was captain, and all the points scored for the H. P. H. S. were by a Soph. But let us have a little vaudeville. That winter four of our men made hair fly in the Y. M. C. A. VVhy, they could shoot baskets from all angles and positions. And when it came to hockey, I declare, they were as good at that as at hookey, five Sophomores eating up everything that came into sight. But then, that was nothing extraordinary for this illustrious class, any more than the fact that in the good old summertime six of our boys led the baseball squad on to victory after victory. Thus we had a majority on almost every team, and really might have had more had it not been for such nuisances as marks and demerits. But we almost forgot our movies. Because of the recognized athletic ability of the third classmen, it was decided to revive the annual gymnasium exhibitions, thus giving THE CHRONICLE 263 Hartford a grand treat. From this picture you will rightly conclude that the Sophomore girls in their trim middy blouses and the boys in their neat white uniforms were no inconspicuous part of the perform- ers, and that they won the gratitude of all the spectators for having made possible such an exhibition. Statistics and our beloved movies show that our musicians continued faithful in their work. Time and again did the walls of this hall and likewise those of Unity Hall vibrate in fear and trembling because of the sounds produced by our class. Appreciating the fact that the success of the previous choir concert was due to our impetus, which caused it to be held in Foot Guard Hall, Mr. Baldwin decreed that the one of 1912 be given there also. This likewise was a success, for the choir was again pillared by our Caruso and thrush-like voices. To convince you that we were not devoting our time exclusively to athletics and music, we refer you to various numbers of The Chronicle. VVithin their valuable pages you will find no less than six articles con- tributed by members of our class, all good, sensible stories,-not a lot of nonsense about babbling brooks, lulling breezes, murmuringpines, and that stuff. And when we assembled in the Hall in june to have marks dished out to some of us, canned for others, the principal wore a smile, a brand new one. He was satisfied. Part II, ladies and gentlemen, will follow immediately. NVe will open our junior year with a little vaudeville. Lots hap- pened to us those days. Right off the reel, something grand came along. You see, our girls had become. wondrously pretty-such beautiful specimens of humanity that it was decided to give a play entitled, The College Hero, in order to show the good people of Hartford a sample of our class. We all know the results-how bril- liant and showy everything was, especially the paint and powder that refused to be washed off the next morning. Now you may not believe me, but our class had lots of nerve those days. One little instance will suffice. There was a track meet held in the Armory. Our class entered two half-milers, speedy as the styles of the day. Well, the events we11t off in fine shape that evening. At last came time for the half-mile. Now here's the nervy part. The entries take position, but our two are missing. In a second the race starts. Boys, where are you? Alas, the race is over. A reconnoiter- ing party is sent out. Fear arises in every Junior's heart that our men have been kidnapped. But lo, they are found-found in the dressing- room-fast asleep. 2' 2 . ..4l L 264 Tllli CHRONICLIQ Yes, this scene is the same old Trinity Field where we triumphed over the Freshmen. Those six husky chaps, the real life of the football team, are juniors. You all know what a wonderful game they put up against New Britain, scoring all of the thirteen points and losing by a measly one. Again the captain was from our numbers, and to help matters along we contributed four subs and ten men to the second squad. VVe wish to apologize for this next picture, for parts are very in- distinct. It is of the outdoor track team. Five of the men show up quite clearly, but those nine blurs are junior members. So speedy were they in their movements that no moving picture man could snap them. And we feel quite certain that if we were to show the hockey team, our three puck artists would be equally indistinct, and likewise our two men on the relay, four, including the captain on the indoor track. These are times of monopolies, ladies and gentlemen. To be in fashion, the basketball team was such a monopoly of Juniors. Four of our members, the captain and the sub made up the combination, and a wonderful quintet it was too. Yes, and the baseball team was almost a monopoly, for no less than eight of our boys wielded the clubs that brought victory after victory to the school. And besides, for a novelty, we owned the manager of the tennis team. If at all egotis- tically inclined, we might well gloat over three captains and one manager in our junior year. . My friends, you should have heard the Mandolin Clubs that year. The leader of the boys was a junior, as was true of the girls. And the noises that the ten 1914 members of the latter could originate would put a German band in the shade forever. Something else happened unknown before. A junior girl was elected president of the Glee Club. And when it comes to speaking, why, old lady gossips were not in it with those four members we had in the Batterson Prize Debate, one of whom carried off the second prize. And all that time the literary end of the class, now becoming very illustrious indeed, was busy with the quill, contributing, in all, fifteen excellent articles to The Chronicle, as well as lending a helping hand to the Owl Annual in its search for extraordinary material. It would be treason to the class to close the records of this year without showing this scene of the H. P. H. S. Field Day. For the second consecutive year we came out on top of the pile, for the second THE CHRONICLE 265 consecutive time one of our number held the Best Athlete's Cup-a record that has not been equalled since the cup was offered. And be- sides, our class held the Indoor Track record for the H. P. H. S. in the running broad jump and quarter-mile relay. NVell may' we boast of our accomplishments in our junior year. Every dog has his day, says an old adage. VVell, ours began in September, l9l3, when we came back to our old Alma Mater as Seniors, pompous, self-important Seniors, and has lasted until now. Unimpaired by the battle of exams, we returned an united body, de- termined to make a record never before equalled. After years of tiresome study, philosophers have rightly concluded that Seniors are so very high-flown that they desist from athletics, and take more to literary work, debating clubs, and music. But as an exception to prove the rule, we interested ourselves in all, for our deeds were not limited to thirty-two articles in The Chronicle, four members on the Batterson Prize Debate, leaders of the Mandolin Clubs. Far from it! Eight of our number were the foundation of an excellent football team, New Britain beat us 'T-0. However, we rest content, for Seniors scored as many points as all the other members together. But we will philosophize a little further. You all know how the government has been uprooting corpora- tions of late. I am grieved to say so, yet in some mysterious way, through exams, I fear, it found out about our basketball monopoly of the previous year. And as the government is ever ready in such a case with an effective remedy, two members quietly sank into ob- livion. Nevertheless, three of our number, including the captain, managed to cling together to fight for the honor of the school team. Surely you all recognize the scene of Elizabeth Park. What a very impressive appearance those four strapping Seniors lend to the hockey team! But the best is yet to come, the baseball squad. It is the pride of our hearts. just see those nine Seniors, all of whom made turf fly sliding down to third. But let us change to something a little more effeminate. You readily conclude that the scene is a parade, although I do admit everyone is out of step. It is Suffragette Day, a day of fame in Hartford, and incidentally a time that showed up our real worth. Among those thousands of women sufferers, you dis- tinguish only three Senior girls. A progressive class are we. Yes, and we are just also, for when it came to the class elections, we set aside all precedents, and resorted to the Australian ballot sys- ..d 266 I THE CHRONICLE tcm. Yet perhaps those unfortunates who had to count and recount and count again the thousands of votes think we were anything but fair. But we have come to the last scene. Do you recognize it? For the benefit of the ignorant few, I will say it is Bond's Hotel. Well do we remember the first annual banquet given by the High School Club, formed through our influence, to promote clean speech, clean living, clean athletics. But watch! Did you see all of those boys pick up the legs of spring chicken and eat, yes, right off the bone? The lights went off then, just for a minute, you know, but as true Yankees they took advantage of the opportunity. Alas, the reel is ended. The last scene of our High School life has passed. Only the future lies before us. VVe have zealously labored to depict our deeds upon this screen, which even now some of you probably consider an hallucination. With remarkable veracity we have shown you our mistakes as well as our successes. Knowing this to be a strictly truthful account, for a camera does not falsify, you will unquestionably believe this stupen- dous array of facts. Indeed, this photo-drama has increased beyond all bounds the pride, the fondness we have hitherto felt toward the indestructible unity of our members. VVhat you have seen this after- noon is the story of our four short years in this school, and what you have seen will fully convince you that history is still being made in Hartford. You must agree, we feel sure, that future historians will be unable to record our achievements. Incapacitated by our lack of prophetic blood, however, we shall not attempt to picture our inevi- table glorious future. Instead, we shall leave that pleasant task to our more fortunate colleagues, whose foresight will enable you to see be- yond the veil which now blinds. CDLGA L. SwENsoN, M.xRsILxI.I. O. LANPIIEAR. THE PROPHECY s OU may have heard of the newest method of securing an edu- cation. It consists of a skillful surgical operation. This ' method has long had a certain limited application, but it has now been placed within the reach of all who without it would be hope- THE CHRONICLE 267 less. The surgeon makes an opening in the skull of the bone-head and produces the desired convolutions in the brain passages. After the once unfortunate has recovered from the operation-oh, lucky man-he has a complete education without the trouble of an hour's study. Believe it or not, as you like, but recently I underwent such an operation. VVhile under the influence of the ether, I had a most peculiar dream. Ye gods! There, in all its ravishing magnificence, lay the famil- iar outlook of Spruce Street. To crown its beauty, the temporary wooden station, erected ten years before, stood in shining splendor. Questioning Isabel Barry and Clara Grannis, who were passing by, as to this phenomenon, they informed me that the world-famed architect, Abraham Levin, had already designed a new station which was to be built of Helen Bryant's synthetic stone, but that Claffey was contractor for the work, which explained the fact that it was not yet begun. They also said that Leslie Tracy had been appointed commander of the Hartfordian fleet on the Park River and that Captain Leslie Hill had gone upstream in his motor boat, but had evidently gotten seriously in- volved in trying to work out his position by High School trigonometry as he had not since been heard from. My informants advised me to take lunch at the Hardluck Summer Resort run by Pallotti and Weg- man on the shore of this well-known watercourse. Suddenly my eye caught sight of the glaring poster, l924. The World's Fair in Hart- ford. Don't miss it if you are a Miss, a Mrs., or a Mister I Wonder- ing why I had not seen it before, the reason was apparent as Dot NValker was disappearing in the distance. Her brilliancy had blinded me. In haste to reach the Fair grounds, I boarded a cycle car whose Cyclonic virtues were soon displayed. Edwin Andrews was the reck- less driver of this flying machine and during the minute that I was in the car he told me that Corning Fountain needed another deer so Emily Cole had consented to take the place. Marjorie Lorentz and Mildred Lewis, who had always been enlightening, had been employed on a permanent contract to furnish the city with light. Elizabeth Rudolph and Esther Aronofsky had gone on a flying trip to Venus. .Ioe Foley was our latest Minister of Foreign Affairs to Podunk, and, most important information of all, that Mary Garrett had just opened a new studio in her attic. Soon the Fair grounds loomed in sight. The first obstruction 41 268 THE CHRONICLE which blocked my way was a high Hill whom I recognized as Harold. He haughtily demanded ten dollars of me, which he said was the ad- mission fee. His demands were withstood for some time until the resonant voice of Bill Reiner reached my ears, Don't fail to see Valente, the bearded lady l Pressing twenty-tive cents into Harold's hand and telling him to keep the change, I, together with Jane Gold- berg, rushed headlong through the gate. A familiar voice! Straight ahead stood Meyer Gurian by turns arguing, threatening, pleading, and encouraging a crowd of people among whom were Georgia Davis, Elsie' Hansen, George Halle, and julia O'Brien, to visit the village of the Ignorantes. An awful noise, later discovered to be caused by Max Adelson, was issuingfrom their tent. A typical Ignorant, who curiously resembled Solomon Silverman, was outside beating a tom-tom with an egg beater. Having paid the ticket girl, Marion Bryant, I entered the home of the Ignorantes,', which was formerly considered the Hartford Public High School. To my astonishment, these wild people, instead of being copper-colored, were brass. The reason was clear when I saw that Ruth Chandler, Tillie Dubrow, and Louis Caplan were at last in true colors. Escaping from this wild company, I noticed Edna Pinkham selling some of her pink pills to the pale people, Mercer and Carlson. The music gallery afforded much interest. .Alfrida I-Iellstrom, the feminine Paderewski, was playing the old-fashioned song, Sweet Emilyna Hamiltonaf' and Zitella Hess, who was supplied with courage by Genevieve Kidney, turned the music. In another corner of the room were a set of melodious belles of whom several were Marion NVhipple, Alice Conley, and Bessie Milton, noted for their sweet tones. Directly in the center of the hall sat Adaline Lyman playing upon a lyre. From another direction came the almost human tones of the experimentograph, which 'was playing the Experiences of an In- experienced Housekeeperf' sung by the shade of,Mary Kenyon. Overwhelmed by the pathos of this harmonious discord, I hastened to the NVilde and Ivoolley wild west show. However, Fitch, who was roaring at the top of his lungs, detained me. This wonderful man was giving a practical demonstration of windmills, for he was supplying the wind. Near him stood Bienstock, who assisted at the balloon ascension of Ernest Kallinich. His part was to keep the bag Hlled with hot air. A large sign not far off marked the Ellsworth and Minehan mov- Q ,J THE CHRONICLE 269 ing picture theatre. Jack Storrs tried to get past Connell at the gate. Failing in this, and running true to form, he tried to borrow some money of Chadwick, but that canny banker refused to accept the tin Ingersol watch that Storrs offered as security, so the latter had to re- main outside. The feature of the day was Lucy the Beautiful Cloak Model, with Miss Penrose in the name part and Howard Manning as the ruthless ruffian. It was a pleasure to see upon the screen the face of Nig Hudson, who had earnedi the title of the Adonis of the Movies. There was also one of those popular instructive pictures, but as it was produced by that well-known educator, Celia Lerner, the audience got up as one man and left. However, the pictures as a rule were good, although there was a slight fogginess in one case caused by the violent brogue used by Mickey Fallon in his excellent impersonation of the NVild Irishman. The fruit display was near at hand. Exhibit A consisted of the Crosby peach. Julia Robertson's catchup plant had also won'distinc- tion. Among the apples were many windfalls and also a Westplial. George VVright had just succeeded in growing a grape vine which produced grapefruit at one end and grape nuts at the other. Paul Donchian was cultivating a mustache, but with a pained expression he sadly told me that the crop was very poor. Speaking of cultivating, Edna Amidon, Stella Aronofsky, and Mollie McCarthy were cultiva- ting habits. In the miniature ocean was a melancholy Swan, whom I had known as Charlie, and also a Crane named john. A Reid, formerly Savilla, was growing in the water. All these were having difficulty in keeping out of the murderous clutches of the sharks, Ida Cion, Ruth Lanphear, and Eunice NVilliamson. The next event of interest being the deliberative race, I betook myself to the track and arrived just in time to see Vtfinfield Murphy, who won with great ,ease as a result of his previous practice in reaching recitations ten years before. Agnes McKernan and Mar- guerite Ennis were close seconds. Accompanied by Mary Finn and Russell Garsden on my way to the Hying exhibition, I observed the statue of Stella Kaplan, first am- bassadress to Mars, sculptured by Jessie Jones, and the illustrious Fannie Mancall, the walking model for Mary Koehler's hair-dressing establishment. At the flying exhibition, I saw Florence Sheehan, Mary Carr, Lawrence Kerwin, and Mary C. Fagan. These were quali- 270 , THE CHRONICLE lied to compete because they wore the new wings just invented by Sigrid Akerlind and Mary j. Fagan, which enabled the wearers to re- main in the air at least three-quarters of a second. Oh, horrors! My ears were deafened by the sounds of the dog show, before which stood the barker Easland. Soon Rosalie Brown persuaded me to visit the art exhibit and admire the two pretty Callenders which Sadie Eckstein had drawn, and also to admire Esther Landerman, who had drawn a deep breath. A slight glance at the bird show was sufficient after I had seen the jays, Henry jones and Hubert Johnson. Hereupon, Magdalene Scoville and Lillian Scott came along and took me to see jackson, the slack wire artist. VVith hair still on end, I visited the Idle Hour where the motor roller skates just invented by Hazel Harvey and Mabel Nelson were very popular. At Machinery Hall, Lottie Edgett was sharpening the wits of the grinds, Helen Hoben, Amy Kugler, and Miles Hapgood. Presently the thrilling tones of joseph Alexander arose. The only one in captivity! He eats 'em alive! Surely a freak worth seeing! There stood the last of his race, the horse. The Price which the owner, Tom Archer, de- manded was inquired and discovered to be Chella. On my way to see the rest of the freaks, I saw Ruby Zich, Freda Sigal, and Gertrude Earle wearing the new dressing gown, the Mollie Sack. On the left stood Sam Himmelblau praising the merits of the acrobats, Misses Slocum and Tracy, Osborn and Fanning, whose hair- breadth escapes from the Lyons, Anna and Leo, were almost natural, and on the right of an elegant Hall, Margaret by name, was the zoo- logical exhibit which displayed many kinds of worms, ring, hook, and book. Among the last were Esther Tulin, Lucy Moran, and Bertha Silverman. At last the freaks! The Harrington sisters, the Siamese twins, always together except when people are looking at them. Henrietta Opper, the tenth wonder of the world! She floats on a wave of memory. VVaiting to be kicked-Sullivan, the human football! The original Walter Bjorn, famous athlete of the Olympic games held in Hartford five years ago. Eveleth, the modern Kit Carson, shoots Agnes O'Brien, Edward Perry, and May Silver with his camera. THE CHRONICLE 271 Miss McDonald exhibits a Griffin, the last of a marvelous and all but extinct race. The well-known Henry Katz. Come in and get inspiration from his mews. VVonderful man! Kierstead, solid ivory! Come and see the ear-splitting Hen House, Ray Kroher, and Henry Fowler, ventriloquists. They sound like chickens. Here I suddenly seemed to become sleepy. The sounds about me were blurred and indistinct. Everything grew dark. Then I open my eyes and found myself on a cot in the hospital again. The surgeon was bending over me. Perfectly successful, he murmured. It was true. At last I had an education. But my joy was short lived. I soon began to have very peculiar hallucinations. The figure of the most harmless passerby on the street would appear to resolve itself into the pugnacious form of Ralph Marshall. The voice of some good friend would suddenly seem to take on the loud and vociferous tones of George Peck. I could nowhere see a bit of red without seeing outlined beneath it the familiar features of Emily Crase. ln this desperate condition, I returned to the hospital. A second operation was declared necessary and no sooner had I sniffed a little of the ether than my dream began where it had left off. Good heavens! NVhat did I see but Kelvin Sachs driving one of the new motor sprinkling carts. He offered to show me the town. Feeling that he was eminently fitted for the task, I accepted. We had not gone far before we met the suffragette parade led by Miss Ruffkess, who had utilized the occasion for showing off a very be- coming new walking suit. A float followed bearing Miss Swenson rampant, holding a rolling pin pendent over the head of an innocent male couchant. Above was a banner with the words, This is what will happen if we don't get the vote. Next was a float containing the mighty armed and truculent Miss Deming engaged in hammering out horseshoes, and a- placard, Who says a woman can't do man's work ? There was still another float with the words, The hand that rocks the cradle rules the Nation, and as the nurse-girl on exhibition was none other than Emma Gedney, who could deny it? The Hubbard and Opper Co., the enterprising anti-suffragette music publishers, had seized this opportunity for advertising their wares, and the next float bore the legend, We don't care who makes the laws of the Na- 272 THE CHRONICLE tion so long as it buys our songs, and contained Misses Bolles and Bucklee, the whirlwind pianists, playing the latest offerings on what was also loudly advertised as the Pilgard and Preston phonograph. That was the end of that parade, although there was the usual rear guard of small boys, among whom were Turner, Tryon and Dunbar. Then there occurred another diversion. A loud screeching of sirens was heard and everyone jumpedfor the sidewalk as down the street came Ryan and Ives in their respective buzz wagons, totally disregarding the majesty of the uplifted hand of Traffic Officer Loomis. Edward Flannery, wiping his forehead on the curb, voiced the general feeling when he said, That would be a horrible death to die, to be run over by a Ford. By this time the crowd had pretty well thinned out, but there still remained an interested throng about a Haming red poster which, upon closer examination, proved to be a representation of George Kaplan and Clarence Trevor engaged in the warlike pursuit of sitting on the shady side of a breastwork down in Mexico. But it was soon discovered that the object of real interest was Piggy Noonan, the debonair recruiting sergeant, who was holding forth to a hypnotized audience of converts among whom were the Misses Sullivan, Lamian- sky, and johnson, and the gist of his remarks seemed to be, D'y'u wan' a tight? join the army. Sachs next offered to show me to the Guy that stuck the pin in Pinney, but this joke, combined with the fact that the old water wagon bucked so fearfully, was too much and I dropped off at the next corner. The shop windows at this point were particularly interesting. First there was the sign, Jeanne Pullar, dentist. Teeth extracted with great pains. Then there was a window containing Blease as a living model of the celebrated Stein-Bloch S15 clothes, and Miss Taylor, who was engaged in the process of powdering her nose as a demonstration of Topping and Metcalfe complexion powder. Before the door of Sage's restaurant were ranged the Misses Bragaw, Turner, and Howard, bearing a sign proclaiming them horrible examples of what might be gained by dining within. Next was the window of the Bassevitch-Beizer Bargain Book Shop in which was the announce- ment, f'Latest books, just out. 'History of the Class of l914,' in 14 volumes, by Marshall Lanphear. 'How it Feels to be Tried for Mur- der,' by Barney Goldberg. Inside, Linnea -Iosephson was trying to sell a set of Vera Craig's essays to Marguerite Entress, who had really come in to purchase one of the Buffalo Bill O'Connor detective week- THE CHRONICLE 273 lies. Helen Bettis was trying to decide between the merits of the poems of Miss Mattie O'Brien and those of Abraham Silverman. In a corner, Agnes Gothers and Mary McCarthy were giggling over one of those delightfully sentimental works by Flora Barclay. However, of all the reading matter in the shop, a copy of the Daly Courant promised to be the most interesting, for on the first page, in enormous letters was the legend: Russell Chapman elected Governor of the State of Matrimony by overwhelming majority. Carries whole ticket with him, including Mel Shulthiess for dog catcher. That was clearly the news of the day, but there was also some space given to the statement that international relations with Parkville were somewhat strained as a result of a top spinning contest between rival factions led by Guy Brandow and Isadore Goldenthal. However, Spencer of Manchester, Duncan of Poquonock, and Carroll of East Hartford had offered their services as mediators and it was hoped that peace would soon be restored. It was also announced that Capt. Butler and Lefty Goldberg had gone over to the Federal League. The advertising section was well filled. There were the words: Grand Prize Contest. Prescott and Roberts, bakers, offer a cash prize of five dollars to the person who eats the largest number of our Graham Gems during the current month. Baked by our fiery glances under the personal supervision of Chef Barber. At present Irving Smith and Carl Johnson are in the lead. There was a picture of the Montstream brothers under the caption: Great scientific dis- covery. David, the slayer of Goliath, raised on Batchelder and Berk- man -baby food. Daniel, the modern Liliputian, not raised on Bat- chelder and Berkman baby food. You can't afford to do without. For sale at Sinnott and Geary drugstore, at one dollar the box. There was an advertisement of Tudor and Kuperstein, nerve special- ists, and a testimonial from Melvin Title who said, Before I took your treatment, I had no nerve at all. Now I get A in all my studies. Belden, Riepsame, and Schwartz announced themselves as landscape gardeners, hirsute decorations a specialty. But the most interesting thing on the page was the card, Meyer Rulnick, teacher of languages. Perfect accent guaranteed. just then a loud noise was heard out in the street. Perkins and Tobie were engaged in a violent scrap. Upon investigation it was discovered that Tobie had found out what Perkins' Hrst name was and was threatening to expose him unless the latter stopped calling him Llewellyn. 274 THE CHRONICLE The Horowitz and Hurewitz department store had a very attrac- tive window display consisting of the Misses Hayden, Maher, and Flansburg, who were showing off the latest fashions. At the entrance stood the imposing form of Vine Parmelee, who was condescending to act as Hoof walker. At the moment he was engaged in restoring peace among several ladies. It seemed that Miss Sherman had mis- taken Mildred Rose and Marion Hyde for fashion models escaped from the window. The latter ladies were much insulted and wished it un- derstood that they always dressed that way. Harold Ames, who was running the elevator, proved, as always, a veritable mine of information. He said that the unofficial extension of the High School at the foot of Asylum Hill had become so popular among the students that it had been made a part of the school and Harman, Schmidt, and Morse had been installed as professors of pool and billiards. This school was justly popular because the pupils were always graduated by the average system. Red Lennon was now employed by the firm as bill collector, for which position he had long ago showed his aptitude, as he was the only fellow who ever per- suaded the Athletic Association to buy him a football outfit. Ames said that Edith Martin was engaged in selling green goods, but Ber- kovsky, who was riding in the elevator apparently for the sake of the mirrors, explained this shocking statement by saying that Ames would have his joke. It seemed that Miss Martin was simply selling that brilliantly hued cloth which she had done so much to make popular by continuous display. Ames also said that David Gaberman had become a famous doctor, but Berkovsky, evidently actuated by motives of pro- fessional jealousy, murmured that biblical quotation which points its own moral, Saul killed his thousands but David his tens of thou- sands. A magazine was exhibited, the cover of which was a drawing by the rising young artist, Dorothy Mather, of a broad shouldered and athletic young lady who wonderfully resembles Eleanor Murphy. Berkovsky said that Vtfilliam Ennis had also achieved some success as an artist. He pointed out a particularly fine bit of work, a study in black and white, in the shape of a sign which read, Meagher meals, served here. At the indicated restaurant, the Misses Pindar, VVilcox, and McCorkell were installed in their old positions as waitresses. just then Oscar Nierendorf came in and demanded a Y. M. C. A. cock- tail. Miss Pindar explained that the town had been prohibition since Katharine Nolan had been elected Mayor, but suggested that he try THE CHRONICLE 27h the Sherwood and Roselle drug store opposite. There Penfield mixed the vicious combination by shaking up a glass of milk with one of the celebrated Emil Leschke Bloomheld Brand prunes. ' Out in the street, Marie Marchese was hurrying on her way to a tango tea. She explained that Billings was running a dance hall, but that all the really elite went to the rival hall as its proprietor, Dan Landon, had invented a new dance. Inside the hall, Miss Storrs and Bill Griffith were exhibiting the lat-est craze, the Jennie Cantor. This dance was the most popular, but the Leichner Limp, the Dillon Dip, and the Wilmot VViggle also had some exponents. Beatrice Crowley and Bert Bill essayed a waltz, but were put off the Hoor for improper dancing. Miss Parker and Brad Boardman obliged with an interpre- tation of the well-known Buck and VVard dance, and Leventhal, inspired by their example, attempted an old-fashioned clog, but was ejected by Anderson who seemed markedly successful as bouncer, Across the street, John Kirwan was staring at a billboard. There was the announcement: Cohen and Harris present 'The Cotter's Sat- urday Night.' Dramatized from the famous poem by Gertrude Burns. At the Strickland and Sponsel theatre, refined vaudeville this week. All headliners. Gladys XfVhiting, the human nightingale. Becker and Mastrifort, the lunatic comedians. But it transpired that what Kir- wan was really looking at was a lithograph of that beauty chorus in which the faces of Frances Herman, Ethel Murphy, and Elvera Youngert were prominent. Here my thoughts became a little hazy. I seemed to hear the angels singing, but the sound was strangely mingled with the voices of the Misses Thas, McNie, and Keleher who were standing on the corner warbling that well-known melody, NVait for the NVagon and we'll all take a ride. At any rate, while they were singing, up came john Harbison in his wagon. It was a new wagon and it had Police Patrol painted on the side. My thoughts became even more muddled, but I seemed to see the three amateur songbirds being bundled in by patrolwomen Nettleton, Rourke, and VVilbraham u11der the super- vision of Sergeant Finley, who miraculously appeared upon the scene. Everything became black, and when I awoke I found myself on a hospital cot. A nurse-oh, a most beautiful nurse-was bending over me. Poor boy, she murmured. The inside of your head is beyond us. In the dark ages you belonged to the Class of 1914. VVe can do nothing for you. And, ladies and gentlemen, as you can plainly see by this, it was perfectly true. DOROTHY F. PHELPS, Ons M.

IEntered at the Post Office at Hartford, Connecticut, for transmission as mail matter of the second c1ass.1 O matter what the task, small or great, unimportant or weighty, we do not perform it for the last time withoIIt a Hiclcer of sadness. Thus the Editorial Board of 1913-1914, as it sends to press this last issue of The Chronicle, cannot help but feel a bit of regret. Yet intermingled with this is a feeling of satisfaction, of content, for a great burden is off our shoulders. VVe have done our best. That is all that is within our power and grasp. Success lies in the student body only. A large assort- ment of articles means a good issue, an insignificant number, a poor one. For tlIe most part we have had a good collection of material to choose 302 THE CHRONICLE from. May next year's Board be even more fortunate. To make it such we urge you, undergraduates, to start in work this summer. Write two or three articles, at least, during your spare moments. Do not wait until forced to prepare a theme and then hand that in, for experience has taught that it is the voluntary contribution, not the theme, which meets most favor. So before laying down our pen we echo this appeal, an appeal that has grown old with each succeeding year: '6VVrite for The Chronicle. lf you do you spell success, if you do not you spell failure. XVhich shall it be? 4' URING the course of the year there have been handed in to The Chronicle 178 articles: 75 by Seniors, 52 by Juniors, 20 by Sopho- mores and 11 by Freshmen. Mainly through ability shown in these con- tributions the following Editorial Board for 1914-1915 has been selected. james Jewett, '15, will be Editor-in-Chief. Around him as associates will be gathered Katharine Purnell, '15, Shirley Atwood, '15, Doris Hillery, '16, llryan Ripley, '15, Richard Griswold, '15, Llewellyn Spencer, '16, and Clarke lleardslee, '1lS. May they have that same aid and interest tendered to us by our subscribers, advertisers, the faculty, by all who have been interested in our welfare and success, and for whose loyal support The Chronicle lioard expresses its most hearty thanks. And may they have as efficient a Board of Business Managers as the one which has faithfully labored to make this year's Chronicle the leader among High School maga- zines. Surely they deserve it. 9' OUR long years ago it was that we entered upon our High School career, strangers to our fellow students, disunited. And ever as we passed from Freshmen to Sophomores, from Sophomores to Juniors we had one goal in mind, one time to which we anxiously looked forward- Commencement. At last the day has come. In a short time we will leave the dear old llartford High forever, no longer strangers, but close friends, united. And again we will set some day to which we shall look forward. For some more fortunates it will be graduation from collegeg for others, earlier set adrift upon the battlefield of life, promotion in business. And thus we pass on, mounting the ladder round by round, ever looking forward to the next, reaching it and pressing on. It is right that it be so. 'fPr0g1'edcrc ad Sumimmzf' Upon some Dame For- tune will smile down warmly, upon others will be heaped loads of trouble. The path of some will lead through the clean and open thoroughfareg THE CHRONICLE 303 that of others through the dark and gloomy wilderness, the labyrinth. VVho will be the fortunate man in this world to which we shall soon turn? Alas, we know not. But who will be the successful man? He who now, at the close of his High School career, firmly decides upon his course of life and sticks to it in trouble as well as in fortune. Let us all carefully lay our plans at once in order that each succeeding June as we return to renew acquaintances, talk over High School days, we may find no rolling stones in the Class of 1914. ' - . ,l ,. 'ltblelics BASEBALL H. P. H. S.9 N. B. H. S.1 New Britain? New Britain? Where is New Britain? Oh, yes! It's a suburb of Hartford. The High School down there has a baseball team that played Hartford High the other day and the score was 9 to 1. New Britain showed nothing in the first inning, but when Hartford's turn came, the whole team batted 'round and eight runs were scored be- fore Dudjack was rushed in to take Flanagan's place in the box. In the third inning, Flanagan scored New Britain's only run and in the second half of the same inning, Fallon scored Hartford's last tally. Both teams tightened up after this. Captain Butler showed wonderful fielding ability throughout the game and the pitching of Goldberg was excellent, particu- larly so as it was his first game. H. P.

Umpire, Casey. The team has played two games with St. Thomas' Seminary, which were won 15 to 5 and 10 to 2. Sullivan pitched both games and was very effective except for occasional wildness. In the Insurance League, the team has also done fine work. It has been well up in the standing throughout the season and has an excellent chance of finishing at the head of the list. TRACK The first meet of the outdoor season, with the VV esleyan Freshmen, was lost, 50 points to 31. Benedict, '15, won the 100-yard dash and was second in the 220. Fox, '15, was second in the quarter. In the hammer throw, O'Connor, '14, secured second place and Easland, '11, was second in both the shot and the discus. Davis, '16, was third in the shot put. Bjorn, '14, was the star of the meet. He won both the high jump and the broad, scoring ten points for Hartford. Vtfesleyan secured all three places in the half mile and there was no pole vault, mile or hurdle races. Easland, the persuasive leader of the team, by levying contributions upon his friends, succeeded in collecting sufficient funds for the transpor- tation of a squad to and from the Amherst Interscholastic meet. Bjorn, '1-1, scored the only point for Hartford by securing third place in the broad jump. However, an excellent time was had by all.'l The team also took part in the Williston Interscholastic meet, which was held for the first time this year. Holyoke High won with 31 points, and Hartford was tied with Williston Academy for second at 25 points. France, '15, was second in the half and third in the quarter. Fox, '15, won the 220 and was second in the quarter. Wood, '15, was second in the hundred. Bjorn, '14, won the broad jumpf Easland, '14, was third in the shot put and second in the 220. O'Connor, I14, was third in the hammer throw. Every man who took the trip brought back a medal. Benedict was unable to run on account of an injured knee or we might have made an even better showing. The following men have been awarded the track sweater this year: THE CHRONICLE 305 France, '15, Dewing, '17, Hicks, '17, MacDonald, '17, NVood, '15, O'Connor, '14, and Manager Ennis, '14. Bjorn, '14, Easland, '14, Fox, '15, and Benedict, '15, have won their sweaters this year and in previous years as well. The feature of the season has been the excellent work of Bjorn. During the year, he has scored a total of 28 points for the school as com- pared with 17 points for his nearest competitor. Bjorn is best in the broad jump, but he has also done line work in the high jump. In the broad, he has been consistently clearing more than twenty feet in both the indoor and outdoor seasons. His best leap in the high jump is 5 feet, 6 inches, and in the broad, 21 feet, 10 inches. TENNIS The tennis team has had a very successful season. The team has con- sisted of Hyde, '16, Captain, Donchian, '14, Dennis, '15, Allen, '15, and XViley, '16. Many matches have been played and uniformly won. Taft School was defeated 4 to 2, Westmiiister School was defeated 6 to 0, and the Hartford Theological Seminary was defeated 4 to 2. An un- finished tie was played with Hotchkiss, and last but not least, New Britain High was twice defeated with a score of fi to O. The Yale Interscholastic Tennis Tournament was won by Hopkins of New Haven High, but Cap- tain Hyde of Hartford was runner-up. There was a triple tie for the banner between Hartford, New Haven, and VVestminster with seven points each. GOLF Too much credit cannot be given the members of the golf team for the fine spirit they have shown. This team was organized for the first time this year, and although the A. A. was unable to furnish any money for its support, the players have played several matches. The Goodwin Park team was defeated 4 to U, a 3 to 3 tie was played with the Middletown A. C., and we were defeated by Hotchkiss School 6 to 5. The team has consisted of Goodwin, '15, Captain, Heyer, '15, Manager, Smith, '15, Anthony, '15, and Root, '15. It is to be hoped that the team will continue to prosper and that next year it will receive the financial sup- port as well as the popular approval of the school. 306 'I'I-IE CHRONICLE The Huntsinger Business Jchool, Inc. 30 Asylum Street, Hartford, Conn.
