During these four years we have had a wonderful mixture of hard work, hard play, and good times, and it is the purpose of this class gathering to enjoy again, by recollection, some of the incidents in which we have been interested. lie- cause this is our Class Day and we wish our fathers and mothers, our teachers and friends, to enjoy it with us, I am given the privilege to ex- tend to you, in the name of the Class of Nineteen Hundred Fifteen, a most hearty welcome. HiXROLD DEJXRRORN CAREY. THE CHRONICLE CLASS POEM Before his task the sculptor stands, His shapeless clay besideg For the first time without the helping hands That till this day his work have planned, He will alone his outline guide. What will his clay's foundation be? And how be builded up? And where Will the height of his skill be brought to b To mold the form most perfectly? Alas! this man has 110 ideal, No perfect object to attain,- He gropes, in a blind way, to reveal Beauty he knows not of, but fain Would breathe into his form of clay. What, pray, can the result but be? Will any mortal dare to say A model which presents no key By which the critics beauty find? Nay, the master catches here and there A line or two surpassing fair, Born of the well-nigh suppressed ideal VVhich lowliness could not quite conceal. Vlfould he but set a loftier goal Than he can possibly attain Today, to scramble for, would let his soul Sublimely rise, in pure disdain Of all things which are not so good, E'en now could he change the lifeless clay Into the loveliest form he wouldg For the sculptor's hands can but obey The noble impulse guiding them, And in the clay would shine the gem Of high ambition, love of Truth. And when the form was complete, in sooth, 'Twould shine more bright by far than when 'Twas but begun, for he could not stem Ambition's flight. His tireless soul ear THE CHRONICLE 273 Attaining this, would set a goal Still higher than the one before. W'l1at a glorious statue would that be If he'd place his goal just high enough to see, Then climb,-and reaching, let it soar Still high'r. What man dare say just what the perfect is? But the whole world knows That he might, if he chose, Mold an ideal from his clay. SHIRLEY Arwoou. i ORATION HONOR NE year ago this time, the world was electrified, astounded and saddened by the news that the Powers of Europe had forsworn their allegiance to the cause of humanity and civilization, and were attempting to blot out each other's existence with the shedding of inno- cent blood. The world was amazed, I say, by the rapid stride of events, and saddened by the consideration of the fearful possibilities of the war. But the world in general had no greater cause for concern than we, the United States, the most powerful people who have not as yet tasted the horrors of bloodshed. Let us hope that we may never feel the need of entering the struggleg that our interests can be honorably cared for with- out recourse to arms. The war means much to us. It means much to our country, its pros- perity, and its policies. No other class can recall a graduation in times half so stirring as the present. In the years to come we shall relate with pleasure tinged with grief that we completed our High School course while the XVorld lVar was waging-almost upon the anniversary of its outbreak. But the war signifies more to us than mere sentiment. It furnishes a mighty though horrible lesson to us which should be applied to our national government and to ourselves. For after all we are the nation: we, its citizens, determine its policies, and labor to preserve its honor-the national honor. And we can do this only by maintaining a high standard of personal honor. 1 .4 274 THE CHRONICLE Never did the times demand honorable men more than the present, men who are honorable in every sense of the word. War brings with it a host of evils. The barbarous instincts in man, the savage impulses in him rise to the surface in response to the clangor of trumpets and the din of armies. lt is human nature to take sides not according to reason, but according to the dictates of sentiment and personal friendships or animosities. Engulfed in seas of passion, none but the truly honorable, the truly courageous, the morally strong, and the spiritually sound, can hope to withstand the mighty waves of retrograding civilization, humanity, and morality, resulting from the war. And, thanks to our four years' training in this building and the ex- ample of our instructors, We launch forth into the world, splendidly equipped to maintain our own good name, integrity and honor. But the very possession of these qualities, and the enjoyment of the privileges we have enjoyed, impose upon us in turn the duty of exemplifying up- rightness in whatever paths our careers may bring us. Some of us may be destined to serve the public, to occupy high seats of authority, with its concurrent responsibility. To show that the re- sponsibility is not misplaced, and to discharge creditably the trust imposed upon us requires strong character and unimpeachable honor. The in- clination and the power to mold public opinion are inevitable accompani- ments of authority, and as the sculptor is unable to work the stone beneath his hands without leaving the imprint of his own individuality and character, so we, if we stand for right and the maintenance of in- tegrity at any cost, shall indelibly imprint the same character upon those with whom we come in contact, and render our own names and deeds synonymous with honor. But, on the other hand, if we stand for hy- pocrisy, deceit, unclean politics or unfair business methods, we shall End only too many who will model themselves after us. Holding so many subject to our influence then, for good or evil, how immensely important is it that we cultivate the seeds of honor sown in our souls in the past four years. Q l But while the honorable man is a necessity and a blessing in public life, his inhuence is no less powerful for good in private. His friends and associates in business cannot help but look up to him as a model, and endeavor to pattern their own lives and actions after his. Let each one of us choose an ideal, a guide worthy of being imitated. Let us, of course, select one whose life and character have stood the acid THE CHRONICLE 275 test of history, such as Washington and Lincoln. It may seem trite and old-fashioned to be advised to follow the leadership of these national and international heroes. But the very fact that they and their deeds are still held up to us as patterns, and have lost no whit of their glory and luster, should give us an additional incentive, should provide us with another spur to lead lives of honor. If every one of us helps by his example, to raise the ideals of the nation, and to implant in the people a greater love of honor, he will be assisting in great measure to keep our country from the horrors of such a war as is in progress on the other side of the Atlantic. For government but reflects the attitude and character of the people governed. It follows then that violation of treaties and agreements is possible only when the populace favors such measures. But a people truly upright could not sanction the breaking of the national word and the shedding of innocent blood. ' Therefore, my friends, I exhort each and every one of you to resolve right now to perform or sanction no action which does not accord with what your conscience tells you tends to raise the standard of American honor. And I urge you, fellow classmates and graduates of 1915, to bear in mind that you are graduates of this school, and that the school demands and expects that you hesitate long before you sully her proud name. And remember too, before all else, that you are Americans, and that America stands now and has always stood for all that is right and honorable. W. IRVING LEAHY. - I ESSAY THE CONTENTED HEART 66 'Mi absolutely worn out! I never was so rushed in all my life! Oh, I'd have given anything if I could have stayed at home and slept all the morning! How often we have heard those words, have spoken them ourselves, as the days of this Senior year have flown past! There has been something doing every minute, not always something important, but just the thousand and one little things that keep us so busy. And other people are just as badly off. Our friends don't write because they are too busy. Our 276 THE CHRONICLE parents are so busy that we can hardly keep track of them or they of us. Everywhere one hears that word, Busyf' VVhat is it that makes us all so busy? Perhaps we are trying to help those in need, and find twice as many as we can take care of. Perhaps we are working every minute to relieve poor Europe in her hour of trouble. But if these are the reasons: if men are hurrying be- cause so much good needs to be done, why are they so restless? NVhy do they not feel that their lives are counting in the world? No, I am afraid that people are so busy because they are always trying to find excitement. They can't stand the thought of a moment without some diversion. That accounts for such a craze for auction, for instance. XVhy, some people boast that they would rather play auction than do anything else in the world, and I really think they would. Then this passion for diversion is constantly calling for some- thing new, and so we have daily the latest hit in popular songs, the latest thing in dress, the last word in hats or shoes. Really, it is dreadful when you stop to think of it, and it is up to us to alter things, it is up to us to slow down and change the trend of the times. If we don't, things will steadily grow worse, and we shall be so bored when we get too old to tear around and are compelled to sit still, that we shall have to learn to dance in wheel chairs or do something just as absurd. VVhen we realize how feverishly restless the world is, does not the contented heart seem like an oasis in a desert? Contentment is what people lack. Contentment is what We must try to cultivate. That word means so much, and it is often scorned because it is not understood. Contentment, in its finest sense, is never a synonym for indifference and laziness, for lack of ambition and all those things which we naturally want to avoid. Contentment is an element of characterg it is a peace and joy which, once obtained, never leave us. If people would only seek after contentment half as hard as they seek after the latest amusement, they would be much happier. But where can one find contentment? If it is an element of character, one must find it in himself. That necessitates knowing one's self. Most of us do not stop to get acquainted with ourselves, but we must if our hearts are to be contented. VVe must spend a little time alone every day, away from the rush of life and the press of duties and pleasures, learning who we really are. And Nature is the best one to teach us that and many other wonderful things, if we will only get in THE CHRONICLE 277 touch with her. Jean Stratton Porter says, Nature can be trusted to work her own miracle in the heart of any man whose daily task keeps him alone among her sights, sounds and silencesf' Even if our daily task does not do that, if we are alone with Nature some time each week, she will work her miracle just the same, she will show us something grander than the excitement of full minutes and crowded days, something much more thrilling than a tense drama, for she will show us how to live. The majestic trees braving every storm, the flowers and plants slowly growing more beautiful day by day, will teach us her peace and contentment, will ,help us to be brave and patient, thoughtful, cheerful, and unhurried. Then we, too, shall begin to grow, we shall begin to find our- selves, and, learning how to live, we shall understand life better. VVe shall be better able to recognize what things are essential and what are really ,of small consequenceg and having once learned that, noth- ing can leave us destitute. If we have ourselves as companions, Na- ture as our friend, and high ideals to stand by us, we need fear nothing. NVe can be calm and steady in the face of any danger, and our friends will learn to depend on us and come to us for comfort and encourage- ment. For any one who really has a contented heart, who is always the same strong, dependable person, is a constant inspiration to his friends. just to be near him gives them some of his own hope and courage. I All that I have been trying to say is beautifully expressed in part of VVilliam Henry Channing's My Symphony, which well might be called The Contented Heart : To think quietly, talk gently, act frankly, to listen to stars and birds 4' bl' 4' with open heart, to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never. In a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony. ALICE W. BARsToW. HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1915 HEN the Red Cross appealed for packages to be sent to the soldiers in the trenches and field-hospitals, we sent a number of old Chronicles and Owl Annuals. We were very much surprised to hear recently from a wounded Englishman, thanking us 278 THE CHRONICLE for the welcome literature, and saying that usually they receive noth- ing but some old Ford jokes and a few Turkish cigarettes. Parts of his letters interested us greatly and we present them to you with the hope of their entertaining you. Modesty forbids our commenting on these letters: There is little enough to do for amusement in a held-hospital within the war zone, I mean to say that it is terribly boresome in the camp-that one becomes decidedly tired, don't you know, of sitting in the same chair, with'one's hands clasped, looking out of the same window at the same beastly bit of landscape. I shudder when I say the word 'landscape' and think of this desert waste compared with that Eden which is landscape with us at home. I shudder again as I look around this tent, at the loosely' hanging canvas, at the dust' and con- fusion on the floor-and when I sit and listen and strive to compre- hend the hopeless jargon of my tent-mates, once my enemieg in battle, but now, of a necessity, my companions in disability. Your American Red Cross holds no distinction among the wounded, but cares for all nationalities alikeg consequently in this little chamber I have as comrades three men, all of whom I should call foreigners, and who would probably term me the same. Such a con- dition would never do with us at home, you understand, but here in the field it is interesting and exciting to get into an argument with these men, even though you can't understand a word they say, nor they you. I have often wondered what the nations of Europe can see in their clumsy dialects, when compared with the beauties and ad- vantages of English. It is strange that they have not realized and adopted the convenience of our tongue. I think something should be done about it. VVell, anyway, we have had some intensely interesting discus- sions, in spite of our difficulty occasionally in ascertaining just what each one of us has been driving at. It does not come natural to a fight- ing man to sit and twiddle his thumbs in the very eyes of his enemy, even though both men are wounded 5 consequently one looks for an out- let of one's pristine enmities in the form of friendly word-battles. My companions enter into the spirit of the thing with the greatest fervor, we sit in opposite corners of the tent and attack each other with 'winged words' with as much vigor as I have seen used in some of the college debating societies at home. Each comes back in the rebuttal to tear down whatever points his opponent seems to have made-and f W .Er , 1 .v 32' .Q-. ?. f, ,, G. ,, , ,L 4, ' -K. W K X f . mmm, THE CHRONICLE 279 I don't doubt but that we have given some very choice debates, with- out realizing it. But there was o11e subject, on which I started the discussion, which I thought my audience in that room did not appreciate fully, so I am going to write about it to you, incidentally showing you what pleasure and benefit I have derived from your kind gift. For the first few days of our confinement here none of us felt well enough acquainted with the others to do much talking, or indeed physically capable of conversing, so we spent the greater part of our waking hours in reading. You, doubtless with perfectly good inten- tions, shipped to this hospital a quantity of cast-off literature, which I digested, or devoured, or rather tried to swallow, as best I could, it being the only reading matter I could procure. There were some forty pamphlet-like magazines, with vari-colored covers, evidently the monthly issues for the last four years of the Hertford Academyg there were also four consecutive volumes of some sort of year-book-I believe they call it the Howl Amzual. Each of the pamphlets was labelled The Chronicle. VVhether this title signifies that the publica- tion is permanent, haunting the school by which it is edited as a chronic disease, I know not. Certain it 'is that it had a lasting im- pression on me. I must say that the majority of the stories were interesting, inspiring, in fact-and as for those dated 1915, they were really works of art. After careful study, determined not to be mistaken in a matter of such vital importance to the world at large, I finally settled on the Class of 1915 as the paragon of all the classes that ever graduated from the Hertford High School, or ever will Cfor the next three years. at leastj. I was determined, also, that my three companions should share my beliefs, and so, with a great deal of time and labor, I set about to convince them, compiling a great many statistics and facts showing the superiority of the aforementioned class over all others. It is odd how a matter of little significance may puff itself into one of tremendous import in the eyes of a rational man. And I am not sure but that the affair of the Class of 1915 is indeed a huge one. It is not for me to say. At any rate, when I was ready, I attacked my fellow sufferers, armed with all the facts I could marshal from the limited scope of my reading. First, the very fact that the class entered the school for the first time, as Freshmen, on the thirteenth of September, 1911, is an im- as 280 THE CHRONICLE mensely significant fact in itself. Thirteen has from time immemorial been considered as either a lucky or an unlucky number, and I chose to call it a lucky day for the Hertford High School. Then, too, the word September is derived from the Latin svptcuz, or Greek lzepiu, meaning seven, which is also a lucky number. In regard to the year 1911- add the digits and you will get twelve, which is next door to that first mentioned mystic number, and near enough to be lucky in itself. Hardly had the doors closed behind it before the class, thus triply blessed, began to show its colors. On that first day, a Fresh- man girl became lost in the labyrinths of the building. XYhen old Doctor Cook lost his way in the polar regions, don't you know, he ran home post-haste and told of his adventures, likewise this young lady immediately ran home and wrote up her escapade, which story was of such importance and interest that it was the first article in The Chronicle that year. Nor was she alone in raising the standard of excellence of that paper, for during the year four other articles writ- ten by members of the Freshman Class appeared in that Bally journal. No little effort was used to convince the faculty of 1915's ability, physically, mentally, and-musically. Fourteen of the lads gave imi- tations of Caruso in the Boys' Glee Club and there were no less than six Mary Gardens in the Girls' Club. In addition to this, two youths of this class gaily strummed in the Mandolin Club. Of the mental ability, the faculty was convinced by the original, if not brilliant reci- tations by the budding geniuses of the class. As for physical prowess, this class displayed such unusual and exceptional ability in that direc- tion, that immediately it was announced that the gymnasium exhibi- tion would be revived. The boys and girls of 1915 aroused tremendous applause and admiration by their cavortings and contortions in this exhibition. Indeed, the affair was so successful that it has been con- tinued each year since. Summer vacation came and went-and so did some of the members of the Class of 1915. Of course the fame attained during the Sophomore year far o'er- shadowed that of the Freshman, and again the Class of 1915 was aided by the fated thirteen, for this was the year 1913. During the short lapse of one year, the voices of four of the boys had so improved that they were honored with membership in the Glee Club, now making the grand total of eighteen of 1915's boys in that home of discords. The voices of the six young ladies already in the Girls' THE CHRONICLE 281 Club had grown so strong that no more were needed to augment them. Likewise the same two boys were still picking their way in the Mandolin Club. Ohl I say, in the athletic field the wonderful ability of the prodi- gious class was exhibited to the best advantage. Three of the boy-s, like Dutch Cleanser, 'took the rub out of the scrub' on the second foot- ball team, so that the first shone far and wide, even as far as New Britain, and the Hve stars that the planet depended upon were 1915's men. After having made such a pretty debut on the football field, 1915 thought it best to stretch its ability to cover all helds, so it divided its energy by allotting one man to each the indoor track, the relay, the basketball, and the hockey teams. During all this time The Chronicle was subsisting on the literary material of the Class of 1915, for besides enumerating the victories won through the untiring efforts of the Sophomores alone, it contained seven first-class articles written by Third Class men. In the last edi- tion of that Fountain of Culture were three articles by Sophomores, leaving an impression that more and greater things were forthcoming from them the next year. A shell has just exploded very near our tent, and although that is becoming quite customary, I' fear I shall have to delay writing further, until the excitement of my tent-mates has quietedf' Out of the wreck I rise, and again take my pen in hand, to con- clude the outline of the achievements of the Class of 1915 of the Hert- ford Public High School. No, not to conclude-for a conclusion, don't you know, implies a completion-and certain it is that no man living can attempt to complete even an outline of what such a tre- mendous organization has done, or is likely to do. I believe I left it at the close of its Sophomore year, and now, three hundred sixty- nine strong, the class becomes of age, and is allowed to take a more active part in the running of the school. And, indeed, it gives the latter a 'good run for its money.' The Junior year, ordinarily devoted somewhat to the higher mathematics, found our heroes taking a pugnacious, and, from the view- point of the other classes, a dangerously lively part in utlzlctics as well. Nine men on the second football team were endeavoring to imbue their two stalwart brothers on the first with the strength and enthu- hh.. 282 THE CHRONICLE siasm of the entire class, and had more of the former been on the first eleven, New Britain would positively never have 'gotten away with it' that season. Two youths with long arms, and with the letters 'B ll B' emblazoned on their broad chests, were kept busy instructing their comrades in the art of 'shooting baskets' successfully. Three boys claiming 11115 as their foster-parent 'banked their corners' in the relay, while four pit-a-patted about the indoor track, waiting for the coming of spring, when the same number worked in the open ozone, 'counting the ties' on the outdoor track. The ice at 'Elizabeth' received such hard usage during the hockey season that it fairly 'cracked under the strain' of two of 1915's men, the caretakers at 'Popes were busy all spring and summer rolling the courts where the junior twins on the tennis team had insisted on making their victims 'bite the bally dust.' Une lad, 'Alone, alone, all, all alone, Alone on a wide, wide sea,' caused the baseball team to be widely known, upholding class dignity. Mainly through the efforts of certain juniors, a golf team was founded, and out of the six 'clubmenf four were of the same class. Kilts, too, became quite popular that term. But all this time, the weaker sex, and the more intellectual of the stronger sex, were by no means idle. 'O ferque beati' was the Girls' Mandolin Club, while six times blessed was the Boys'. Only nine of the eighteen who had sung in the Boys' Glee Club while Sopho- mores retained their membership that season, possibly because their leader feared lest they should drown out the pianist, but more prob- ably on account of the fact that the youthful voices of said individuals were changing rapidly-too rapidly, indeed, to be relied on in moments of stress. In that gleeful and, accidentally, musical body of young ladies known as the Girls' Glee Club, ten juniors administered the much needed Hrst-aid to the other members. Both boys and girls were very active in the literary realm throughout that year, as is befitting Juniors, and that exponent of 'English-as-she-is-spoke'-be it more or less correctly, instructively, and interestingly-The Chronicle-became famous through the lucky thirteen articles, mastmfpiecvs, which appeared between the ornate covers of that august, conservative and, ordinarily, sensible periodical, under the signatures of the growing geniuses and budding bards of the justly renowned junior class. , THE CHRONICLE 283 As for scholarship-take for example the ten boys ushering at graduation in 1914, who were so closely and highly ranked that the faculty could decide only with the greatest difficulty as to who were the guilty ones. Indeed, it was suggested, only momentarily, to be sure, that they depart from the usual custom by choosing the ten with lowest marks to pay the penalty for their negligence throughout the year, by having them 'cater' to the graduating class. They-the teachers-rejected this proposition, needless to say, as jarring too much on the fierce fand fierce in more ways than onej spirit of liberty which had distinguished the entire class from the very outset. 'Thus the banquet ended,' and 1915 scattered to mountain, river, and ocean, for a brief respite in preparation for the coming fall, when the excruciating toil and the tremendous labor, promised them for their Senior year, would be upon them. But, along with the hard work, there was destined for them what was no less inevitable than it had seemed when they first set foot inside the H. P. H. S.-glory. We shall see. The general sentiment of each member of the class as it merged into seniority followed those famous lines of Macbeth: 'I dare do all that may become a Seniorg Who dares do more is none? But it is apparent that, during this last year, the line established to govern the behavior of the highest classmen has been stretched to take a new shape, to fit the class itself, to embrace new or broader activities. For they fulfilled, and then went beyond the requirements made of ordinary Seniors, in actions dignified and exemplary for those who need to be shown. Perhaps the first opportunity they had to 'Hash' their colors in athletics was in the New Britain game on October thirty-first, And, even if that had been their first, last, and only chalice of showing their worth as sportsmen, 'twould have been sufficient. It was a rare treat to read of how A 'They reel, they roll in clanging lists, And when the tide of combat stands, Perfume and flowers fall in showers, That lightly rain from ladies' hands'- of how bravely the blue and white fought against the overwhelming odds of precedence, breaking down a thirteen-year-old tradition, bury- ing it Cand New Britainj, we hope, forever. Nevertheless, there is 284 THE CHRONICLE no doubt but that the football team of next fall will have a stiflish task before it in 'beating up' the said town's bloodthirsty repre- sentatives, without the sustaining hands of the six 1915 men on the hrst team and seven on the second. It was, indeed, a pleasure to hear of the 'saving grace' used by the Seniors in shielding the Hallowe'en celebrators from unjust censure and blame, and to read of how the evident good manners and obvious righteousness of the same upper- classmen speedily disillusioned critics in whatever suspicions they had entertained of 1915's active participancy in the regrettable affair. The basketball team, with four 'fifteeners' enrolled, reached the end of its season with a percentage of victories well above the passing-mark: the hockey team sensibly hung on to the two veterans who had shown themselves up well the preceding year. On the floor of the 'gym.,' eleven Senior boy leaders proved that their strength was as the strength of twice that number in the leaders' class of any other year. Quick of feet was that Senior Class, for besides the fact that three- fourths of the relay team were from 1915's numbers, as well as the majority of the indoor track squad,-if one had made a point of going to every dance attended by Seniors this year tan absolute impossibil- ity, you will admitj, he would have been struck by the nimbleness, the gracefulness, and the daring of our heroes and heroines as 'ex- ponents of the modern dance.' The critics in the front row at Unity Hall on March nineteenth declared that never had they heard a concert by the Glee Clubs which encouraged them so much in the impression that there might be a possibility after all of there existing some latent talent for music in those organizations. They were probably aided in this belief by the fact that there were one-and-twenty Seniors in the two clubs, who were relied on to keep the time, the place, a11d the pitch for their infant col- leagues. And the gorgeous Hertford Club resounded from the applause which greeted the tuneful strains rising from the strings picked by ten Seniors, and a few under-classmen, at the annual concert fand vaude- ville stuntj given by the Mandolin Clubs. Never did Minnehaha die a nobler death than in the midst of the famine and the fever 011 the occasion of the Choir Concert this May, when a full hall sat and suffered themselves to enjoy the delights of a wedding-feast, and weep at the griefs of a funeral, in which the voices of 1915 were the most pleasant, plaintive, and the most predominant. In the kingdom of letters of the past year, The Chronicle has THE CHRONICLE 285 flourished under Senior authorship and Senior editorship as it never has flourished before. The War News Club has been founded by Seniors and for Seniors, to discuss intelligently, if possible, the aspects of the conflict which they term the 'European situation,' and to neutralize whatever sentiments may exist in the breasts of the students. Never before, perhaps, has the patriotism of a graduating class been so cvident-they tell me that this is thevfirst for some years to even at- tempt to raise a Hag, especially a purple and yellow-excuse me, a purple and buff-one, and never before, positively, has a class had so much cause to be patriotic. I have shown you how this Class of 1915, entering the Hertford lfligh on that fine September afternoon years and years-no, only four-ago, at first as Freshmen, or rather as Fourth Class pupils, as they preferred to be called then, numbering one less than seven hundred-the largest class that had ever entered up to that time, how it has swept through this institution, carrying away in its grasp honors, records, and traditions. I have shown you how, coming down through the ages, this mighty river, beset everywhere with dams, and islands, and all sorts of stiffish obstacles-it has overcome them all, and has rolled on in grandeur to its victorious outlet. The class is now at the point where it merges and is lost in the great wide ocean of Life-lost ?-but even though indistinguishable in itself, won't that salty sea be clarified, and sweetened, and purified, in some measure, by the freshness, the vigor, and the variety of such an addition? You may say that there are hundreds of such streams emptying into that same ocea11 at this very moment. But how many of them come from such a pure spring as the H. P. H. S.? How many of them will, on analysis, reveal themselves ninety-nine a11d forty-four o11e hundredths per cent. pure, turning the wheels of scholarship, of athletics, of music, and of art, yet retaining their untaintedness throughout the course? Truly, is it not most extraordinary? From my viewpoint, that of a disinterested, but at the same time an interested spectator, it is the best ever-and such a viewpoint should not be disdained. Indeed, in my mind, the magnitude of the question, Zllld the certainty of its answer, is such that I think if submitted to the heads of the warring nations, they would lose themselves in the consideration and the settlement of it. For they could not help but agree, and indeed, come to peace, on the proposition that the Class L.. 286 THE CHRONICLE of 1915 is the greatest, in all respects, that has ever graduated from the Hertford Public High School, and that to all appearances, it will re- tain its supremacy among graduating classes to come. They say that 'the history of a soldier's wound beguiles the pain of it.' I must admit that I have been sorely afflicted by the haunt- ing realization of 1915's superiority, that I have been 'touched and grieved' by the possible doubts of the world at large as to the correct- ness of such an opinion. Consequently, I have done my best to guard against such hesitancy, and to compel every man to share my con- victions, if these attempts, poor as they are, can be of any help to that class as recommendations, my work has not been in vai11. My only regret is that I have but one hand to devote to writing its praises. Of course, next year it will be the duty of the Senior Class, and of its historians especially, to outdo 19115 in blowing, whether it can be done safely, justly, and without criticism or not-and every grad- uating class after that will have to boast a little more and puff a little harder than the preceding one. It is altogether fitting, then, that in conclusion I should leave for the benefit of the undergraduates a homely bit of advice: not to cast any reflections or desecrations o11 this dearly departed class-which they could, with perfect safety, use as a model for their future thought and deed. And, copying in part the phraseology of the greatest speech of one of the greatest men of all time, I would suggest that they adopt this resolution, applying it as seems best, to themselves, to their school, and to the Class of 1915. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the under- graduates, rather to devote ourselves here to the unfinished work which they who struggled here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to here concentrate ourselves to the great task re- maining before us, that from these honored graduates we take in- creased devotion to that school for which they showed the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that these graduates shall not have worked in vain: that this school, under their example, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that the memory of the work of that Class, by that Class, and for that Class, shall not perish from the earth. MARION T. KOFSKY, RICHARD W. GRISWOLD. THE CHRONICLE 287 THE CLASS PROPHECY Part I 1' AST Wednesday morning, at fifty-nine minutes and twenty seconds past ten, I was standing before the noble edifice which even now shelters my head. It was necessary for me to ride dow11 to the police station, so I looked for a jitney. Soon I saw a huge, new, shining Ford approaching, driven by an exceedingly handsome chauffeur dressed to match the car. Ile stopped at my signal and I climbed gracefully in, then the driver opened the throttle and we shot into space at a rate which must have been nearly six miles an hour. In scarcely a second we were hurled under the bridge and by the park, but then with a terrible crash which has echoed through the bare, empty passages of my brain ever since, with a noise like the impact between the Titanic and the iceberg, the Ford hit a banana wagon! Out of the wreckage of bananas and tin I shot skyward. Up, up, up I went dizzily and then fell back into absolute blackness. When the blackness cleared a little, I found myself sitting on the soft asphalt, with a large crowd standing around laughing at something. From my recumbent position I could not see the joke, so I haughtily arose and made my way to the sidewalk. I found myself in front of the drug store of Hartford's magnificent new hotel, so I thought I would go in and see what new varieties of college ices they had. But when I saw myself in the soda-fountain mirror I shrieked, for in all my life I never saw anything so out of style as my clothes! All about me were women dressed in such startlingly mannish costumes that at first I had mistaken them for men. I thought I must have gone crazy, so I stepped up to the nearest clerk and asked him how long women had been wearing these styles. What styles? he asked, in surprise. They've been dressing this way since 1918.9 1918 ! I cried. Why, what year is this F 1925, of course, he answered very suspiciously, and turned to wait on a customer. I was too surprised to speak, but my thoughts were soon interrupted by a loud burst of laughter, and looking around 288 THE CHRONICLE I saw that Dudley Marwick was having convulsions over one of his own jokes which he had just made up. I hastened over to his assistance, but found that Rubin Cohn and jacob Yellen had gently lowered him on to the scales-which im- mediately broke. As the scales were supposed to weigh as high as nine hundred pounds, I did not see why they should have broken, but then I noticed that the maker was William 'Foord, so that explained it. just now I heard a melodious voice behind me, singing VVaiting for the 'Laura B. Lee', and I bolted for the door, for I well knew that Agnes Lawyer must be in 1ny near vicinity. When outside, I took my bearings and found that I was on my old friend, Asylum Street. But how it had changed! Beautiful tall new buildings rose on every hand and effectually shut off my view of the blue sky and the black smoke from the rail- road station. Directly opposite I saw a large crowd standing about the base of what appeared to be a lighthouse, watching Beatrice Burr, Florence Miller, and Marion Brown whitewashing the upper stories without the use of stepladders. Seeing Gerald Segur standing near by quarreling with Douglas Seelye as to which had the larger feet, I asked him what this strange edifice was. He said that Marjorie Monroe had just built it to keep her captured suitors in, and a royalty of ten dollars a head was offered for every new suitor caught alive and uninjured. Fearful of the meshes of the siren, I hurried away, but almost immediately I was roughly seized by the collar, and, looking around, saw that I was in the clutches of Policeman Seltzer. Young lady, he roared in a voice of thunder, I accuse you of having stolen willfully, deceitfully, and with malice aforethought Russell Keep's brains. I was just about to call on Edith Douglas to testify that I had no brains, when Joseph Ryan came up and con- fessed that he was the culprit and was using the brains in addition to his own. He said that with their aid he had secured an M.D.P.I. L.L. at the Middletown Medical College. Seltzer now arrested Ryan and whistled for the police patrol, which was driven up by Leon Harris, and which already contained Arvey VVood, who had been caught using old sick-passes for jitney transfers. I decided that this was no place for a nervous person and hurried on, but almost immediately came face to face with Irving Leahy, who was staggering under the weight of a huge aluminum cross pinned to his coat. As Harmon Barber now came up and began to examine the THE CHRONICLE 289 cross with a telescope to see if it was amalgamated, I stopped also and asked Mr. Leahy why he was thus honored. He proudly explained that ex-President Roosevelt had just given it to him as a token of his appreciation of the large number of wild animals which he had killed in Africa-by simply making speeches to them. He said the animals were so de-e-e-lighted with the speeches, they laughed themselves to death. I was just about to congratulate him when I saw some beau- tiful hair coming down the street without any hat on. This was such an unusual sight that I stretched my neck to find out to whom it could belong. To my surprise, I saw that it was Shirley Atwood. I hurried up and, after shaking hands with her, asked her if she had seen anything of our old schoolmates lately. As might have been expected, she replied in verse, which I will now quote with apologies to the Class Poetess. Very little I know Of our dear old class, But that little I'll tell you From first to last. Lottie Opper enjoys giving lectures on arts, VVhile Marion Tuttle is still breaking hearts. Miss Helen Marvel is now engaged- To star in a play soon to be staged. Leonard Beadle drives a hearse, And Frances Waters is a nurse. Almeda Bill, and Julie, her cousin, Met Eunice Dunham and nearly were frozen. But Marjorie Burnham came along And saved their lives with her melting song! Clifford Williams is a sober judge, NVhile Elsie Taylor sells home-made fudgeg Arline De Forest in Grand Opera sings, And Arline Hayden has at last sprouted wings. That is all I can tell Of the dear old class, VVhich for four long years its teachers 'sassed,' Which took all the honors thick and fast, And in 1915 left at last ! 290 THE CHRONICLE I was thanking Shirley for the inspiration her poetry had given me when I was startled by a mocking cry, Carrie wants a cracker. I looked all about and soon discovered that I was i11 front of Berman's bird store and that the noise had been caused by a parrot in the win- dow. On looking closer, I found that it was Carolyn Case, who was perched in a cage adjoining that of a dazzling peacock, who hopped gracefully about much as my old friend Isabella McBurney had done. The shop next door was owned by Miss Murray, but I was astonished to see that the store was perfectly empty. Seeing Marion Cullen out- side pulling up the awnings, I asked her what had happened to the stock, and was told that Ruth Storrs had recently bought the entire contents of the store with which to set up housekeeping. A frightful crash in the street made me rush to the curb just in time to see that I-Iarold Pember, on his motorcycle, had run into Burr Anthony, who was on horseback, killing the horse. The motorcycle was considerably damaged, but Pember soon extricated himself and with the aid of a pair of roller-skates and a watering-can fixed it up as good as new. Anthony was heartbroken over the death of his horse, but Grant Proper kindly took up a collection and Burr immediately started off to buy a new 0116 at Warfield's book store. The large crowd which had collected to witness the accident was soon scared away by Burdette Fothergill's new green suit. Most of the people crowded into a three-deck bus, and, as I felt rather terrified myself, I followed them. I could not help observing that the driver wore a large pin with A. A. on it. From force of habit I was reaching for a quarter, when Mary Horn whispered that it did not mean Athletic Association but Abram Apter. The bus now stopped to take on Longshaw Porritt, who was loaded down with a tent, a knapsack containing edibles, and com- plete hunting, fishing, and shooting outfits. He said he was about to explore the woods around City Hall, and, as the undertaking was a rather dangerous one, he had called up Francis Mulcahy, a lawyer. to give him a few last instructions in case he never returned. I did not hear anything he said except that he wished the Chronicles con- taining his jish stories to be bound in snakeskin and put in the vault in Fitzgerald's Library. We had now reached City Hall, so I alighted and saw to my astonishment that the old building was gone. In its place was a large, white, papier-mlache pavilion which bore the sign: .L 1 gf- , R ' 1,- , , . 1 , ,Av .. ,- e ,, I ,.4i:.i,, u.L..A, . --1.54. , ji, ., .... 4,., . -1' - . -...:4mxss.mm.x.0z4..A. THE CHRONICLE 291 CHARLES REDFIELD 81 VERNON CASTLE Dancing Masters Latest Dances Demonstrated Daily Class-Day Creep and Graduation Glide This Week Only I heard strains of beautiful music issuing from the upper windowsand recognized Mattie Mais1en's piano playing, helped out by Alva L. O. Hanson's performance on a new mouth-organ, which Raymond Brink- man had invented, and which he constantly used as a warning to pedestrians to give him sufficient vertical leeway. The strains of a hand-organ now joined the band and recalled the day when I had heard the High School Orchestra for the first time. I thought the hand- organ seemed pretty good, and upon investigation found that not only the organ but also the organist was pretty, as it was played by Eunice Wright, while Mary Garvey held a large tin pail in which to catch the contributions. I paused to put in a Canadian ten cent piece and found that the pail was already shining with what appeared to be gold coins, but which proved to be a few bright ideas dropped in by Benjamin B. Kaplan. Loud boo-hoos made me look toward the street, where I found that the cause was Madeline Hickie, who was lost, and wanted to have Mary Carrier over to the isle of safety. Her noise soon ceased, because Maxwell Tulin appeared and applied his patent Silencer. The sound of rapidly approaching wheels made the crowd flee for safety just as a beautiful gilt cage was drawn down the street by six white horses, decorated with green and purple ribbons. From this sign I well knew that Anna Goldberg must be the driver. This indeed proved to be the case, but my attention was soon called to the banner floating in the breeze, which read: INFANT PHENOMENON Owned and Exhibited by the Class of 1915 Please do not feed it I was not surprised to see that the cage was occupied by Lawrence Hansel, who peacefully ate peanuts and talked Greek to Frankel, the driver of the next wagon. This proved to be a large float which bore the sign: 292 THE CHRONICLE MADE IN AMERICA Latest Gowns and Make-ups Exhibited by Madamoiselle Dwight On the float was a striking manikin, which I finally recognized as my old friend Elizabeth Dwight, in spite of the lish-net veil which shrouded her features. The spectators now began to move up Main Street beside the float, and, as it was getting rather smoky because of a heated discussion between the Misses Cole and Coleman, I started along too. ' A minute later I ran into Suvia Paton, who smiled and said, Salw Major Nam, amicc ment' 1'117fc'nf11tis. On my gently reminding her that my early education had been neglected, she apologized in English and explained that she was just engaged in translating the 1915 Owl Annual into Latin, because the character of the book was such that it seemed more appropriate to have it in a dead language, and as a result she sometimes got her medium of communication mixed. I asked her how her better half was, and she said that Alison Hastings was now the tennis champion of the world, having learned to play on roller- skates. Amy Kugler came up and tried to sell me a bunch of guaran- teed VVethers-jivld Howers, which consisted of Rosebud Ruffkess and the Marguerites McGinn and Higgins. I finally agreed to buy them, and told her to send them up to Margaretta Purves, who was to give a concert that evening at the Y. M. C. A. I now broke away and got as far as Goodwin's drug store, where a large picture in the window attracted my attention. This proved to be a photograph of Harry Cohn making his record-breaking dive to investigate the submarine F-4 sunk in Honolulu harbor, but which was found impossible to raise as it was inhabited by a monster shark- Louis Goldstein. Below this was a large bottle on which was printed, Get a bottle of Dr. Partridge's Painless Cure-all. Guaranteed to cure study-itis, cram-itis, Hunk-itis, demerit-itis, and lunchroom-itis. Save your coupons and get a Fishman grand piano free. I was just wish- ing that this had been invented when I had been in High School when Mildred Rogers came along, and, after looking me over sharply for several minutes, hnally decided that it would be all right to speak to me and asked me if I had seen the new building erected on the site of the old five and ten-cent store. I said I had not, so she ofliered to escort me up. On the way, I heard a loud scream, and Miss Rogers THE CHRONICLE 292 explained that it was Georgia Babcock, who was having a tooth extracted, but the dentist was having a little trouble as he could not find the nerve. We had now reached our destination, which proved to be a very high building of green glazed tiles. It was but recently completed, for several signs informed me that Gilbert 8: Gleszer were the archi- tects, while heating and lighting' was by Helen Miles and George Boardman. As I looked upward, a black speck toppled off the roof and descended rapidly. A minute later William Ball struck the ground and bounced lightly up and down for several minutes, he seemed un- hurt and soon walked off. At this minute the corrugated iron door was opened and Kilts Gordon came out, carrying a trunk on his back hlled with golf sticks. I asked him what this large building was, and he said that the upper half was Clarence Tuska's home for wireless fiends, while the lower half was used as a storehouse for Bryan Ripley's superfluous ideas. He explained his presence there by saying that he had just been up to send a wireless to the mayor of New Britain, Peter Laschever, to ask him to play golf the next day. just then Estelle Kaplan called down from the roof that there was a message for H. U. G. I thought this meant Hurry up, go, and was about to take the hint when Mildred said it probably meant Helen U. Ganley. She now invited me to go into Barrett's free lunch to try her delicious new Olive Meaney sandwiches. Miss Fuller, who was in there, told me that she had already eaten forty of these morsels. We were soon driven out by the commotion raised by Mildred Sisson, who was wildly searching for the hole she had lost out of a douglmut. As we came out, I saw what appeared to be a large newspaper com- ing toward me. I watched it in perplexity until it finally came up and I saw that Loomis was behind propelling it, while the Misses Poriss and Rundle followed him and seemed greatly interested in the headlines. I thought I would take a look myself and was almost stunned with the announcement, William Youngman Harry Colin Simkin has found two more names which will go into effect july 4th. Other items informed me that Mary Hartnett had finally discovered an antitoxin for Burke's Speech on the Conciliation of America, and that Miss Bennis was fatally ill at Corrigaifs Contagious Hos- pital with housemaid's knee, from having eaten the cherries off Jessie Solomon's hat. V I did not have time to read any more because I saw an Elizabeth 294 THE CHRONICLE Park car coming and ran for it just in time to catch the rear light and pull myself aboard. I found the car terribly crowded, for Leonard Morse's business college was going on a picnic. I noticed with sur- prise that the usual signs were missing, and instead the whole front of the car was decorated with an oil-painted sign by Elizabeth Dowden which read: Buy Fielding XVilkinson's New Smash-all Tennis Racket, Made of lVrought Iron and Bone. lfVeight, 967 ounces. For Sale at all Leading Druggists The only mishaps of the trip occurred when Arline Evans slipped through the slats on the back of the seat, and when Miss Matteson tried to palm off a ten-year-old car ticket on the conductor, Raymond Brink. We had now reached Elizabeth Park and the crowds of people would have made a festive scene if a loud splash and muffled groans had not marred it. Upon investigation, it was found that Mellie Pallotti had accidentally fallen into a manhole. Walter Brady lowered a ladder to her, but it was so slippery Miss Pallotti could not climb it. Anna Kelly came to the rescue, and, after inspecting the ladder, calmly stated that it was too slippery for any one to climb, as it was made of eel-wood. She now rigged up a derrick with a hairpin and a shoe-lace, and hoisted Mellie to dry land, where she was dried off with a little of Thalheimer's hot air. I started toward the old house where formerly refreshments had been served, but found that a new ice-cream pavilion occupied its place, over one of the doors of which was a sign, Donated by J. P. M. I thought this meant John Pierpont Morgan, but Olga May Frederica Vlfadland, who looked very pretty as a waitress, told me that it had recently been erected by Joseph P. McGrath. While I was talking to her, a messenger boy, who looked like Benjamin Silver- berg, came up and began to call for L. L. L. I did not know whether he was stuttering or still thinking about the Batterson Debate, but Miss Wadland said he wanted the cook, Levi L. Lappen. A terrible choking now made me run to a near-by table where Mary Rubenbauer gasped that she had accidentally swallowed one of Lena Crosscup's stories, and that the connection between her oesophagus and epig- lottis was cut off. I sat down with them and ordered one of Kilby's Killing Kollege Ices, and while enjoying it could not help overhearing THE CHRONICLE 295 Theresa Thas, who was telephoning at a new combined public tele- phone and water fountain invented by Agnes Conlin. I was surprised to hear Theresa call C. 19-13, as I knew this was the jail. But she ex- plained that she was going to try to extricate Annie Silverman, who had been arrested for stealing Anna Carlson's dimples. A terrible noise now drowned every other sound and made me stop my ears. The sad discords sounded strangely familiar and I finally realized that it must be Annie and Lauretta johnson, who were still try- ing to sing The Death of Minnehaha. I could not stand this long, so started down to see the pond, but found that it was all gone, as George Gowen had once read his theme-book beside it, and it was so dry it had absorbed all the water. A sad sight was now presented to my gaze, which consisted of Turner and XVhite limping along the dusty road most painfully. I asked Harding, who was walking along beside them with a stop-watch to tell them when it was time to limp, what sad accident had bereft them of their former agility, and was told that they had caught rheumatism while laying the sidewalks to the new High School, because it had taken seven years to lay them. A piping whistle now announced Marie Lund, who came up and asked me to buy a Vacuum Brain-Cleaner. She even offered to re- duce the price from 0116 dollar to ninety-eight cents, seeing that I was an old friend, but I did not have time to pay much attention to her because I was closely watching an old woman coming down one of the aisles of the rose garden. She was dressed in bright colors and looked like a fortune-teller, and indeed she proved to be one, for she came up and begged to prophesy my future. I said No, I had no faith in prophecies because they were never true. But Bertha Basse- vitch was more daring and presented her hands for inspection. After putting on some green and blue spectacles, the fake bega11 in a feeble voice, Your head line is very good and shows that you are the delight of your teachers' hearts. The lines on your left hand faintly resemble a piano stool, which shows musical genius. But there is one trait firmly indented on your palm--indifference, most especially indiffer- ence to regular attendance at school. Bertha could stand no more and rushed away, but her place was immediately taken by Helen Saunders, who heard the truth as follows: Your palm shows that you need a great deal of sleep between half past six at night and ten in the morning. You are fond of handling money and might be a class treasurer, but it is more probable you will be married early in 296 THE CHRONICLE life. Your metacarpals show that you are overnlodestf' Helen was so pleased with this that she gave the woman a quarter, and relin- quished her place to Lovejoy. The seeress studied his fate carefully and then said in a sad tone, Young man, prepare for bad news. In your thirty-first year you are going to have an idea, which will be followed by a severe concussion of the brain. I did not have time to listen any more, for I saw Ruth Morse sitting on the concrete bridge crying. I ran up and asked her what the matter was, and she sobbed that she had already been to every Movie in town, and there wouldn't be any new plays till the next day. To divert her ITIIIICI, I asked her if she had seen the fortune-teller yet. Fortune-teller nothing, snapped Ruth, I guess I know Elizabeth Marcus when I see her. I was very surprised and left Ruth to go down and see if it was real- ly my old schoolmate. I found her just about to read Jimmie Jewett's hand, and was in time to hear her say, Your palm shows that you are of a nervous disposition and must be careful not to walk too fast. You have an exceedingly bright mind, but during your career in college your surplus energy led to extremes of exercise beyond the endurance of your roommate. You must beware of water and cocoa. While listening to this, I had heard something walking around behind me, and thought that it was one of the Dears in the park. I finally looked about and found that I was right, for it was Blanche Lawton. I immediately asked her the important question which had been bothering me for many years, namely, did she ever decide what col- lege to go to? She said that she never had, but instead had founded the Stony Creek Swimming School, and had had great success teach- ing sharks from the High School how to swim. The Misses Nash and Moscovitz now began to play leap-frog over Frances Schoonmaker and made so much noise that I decided I would leave the vicinity. I asked Blanche if there was any way by which I could get back to the city quickly, and she said the best way would be to hire a pair of roller- skates at a cafe, which was near the entrance of the park, and skate down. We started off and finally came to the red brick cafe. The place was, not empty, for we found Fred Flynn seated before the counter with a pile of empty plates on one side and a large assort- ment of edibles on the other. He said he was trying to eat right through the menu and had gotten as far as S, just at present being engaged on summer squash. After wishing him luck, we asked the proprietor for the desired THE CHRONICLE 297 roller-skates, which were produced, and we soon rolled off. I got to Farmington Avenue without falling down more than eight times a11d found the sidewalk thronged with a long procession. As the rear was brought up by Mary Mclnnis bearing a sign, Recreation Picnic for Returned Missionaries, I asked her what kind of missionaries they were, and she replied that they had just been over to convert the natives of Patagonia, but the savages were all suffragettes and had killed so many missionaries with hatpins that they were forced to give up the attempt. It was getting near sunset, so we skated on quickly and in a few minutes came to the site which I remembered as occupied by the old High School. Sure enough, it looked just the same with the ex- ception that Leonard Sawyer was standing in place of the Owl over the north door. As I paused before it, I saw that one improvement was the huge sign-board in the front yard, upon which Josephine Maher was just posting a notice, Why make your children study? Send the babies to the H. P. H. S. and have the Three R's taught by the new phonograph method, by Richards, Reinhardt and Rosenfeld. Another sign read, Miss Landerman's cooking classes will meet from ten forty-live to quarter of eleven. Subject: Scrambling eggs by electrolysis. But the fact which impressed me most was that Pro- fessor Dorothy Vtfilliams was to give an eight-minute lecture on Why Girls Leave Home. The usual Wediiesday morning choir period would, of course, be omitted and school would hold ten minutes longer to make up for this diversion. As Clark and Levinson now came out to mow the lawn with a new lawn steam roller, and as Miss lVIcGurkin began to shake a chemistry apron out of an upper window, I thought it was time I moved along. As I saw that no cars were running, I started to walk down Asylum Hill, and soon perceived that a large crowd near Palmer's drug store indicated that some accident had occurred, I hurried down a11d forced my way through the jam to the ce11ter. But there I saw a strange sight. For sitting upon the pavement was a person who was surely my double or my ghost, while several kindly persons held a bottle of peppermint to its nose. just then the people about me began to blurr and everything slowly blackened, until I opened my eyes with a start and found that it was I myself sitting on the soft asphalt pushing the peppermint away with all my strength. Is the 'jitney' damaged ? I managed to ask. 298 THE CHRONICLE Yes,i' replied a lady near me, but the chauffeur, Mr. February Fourteenth, is working on it now and it will be fixed up as good as new in time for the second part of the prophecy. Part II Alas! Alas! I was the unlucky chauffeur of that ill-fated jitney. Now it is strange that the shock of that collision should send us both i11to the future, but so it did, although in a somewhat different manner. Well, when we struck the object before mentioned, I rose skyward as well as my fair passenger. After an ascension of a mile or two, I began to feel tired, so, lazily turning over, I gave myself up to the laws of gravitation. Consequently, in a few moments, I crashed head first into the roof of the Hartford National Bank building. Quite naturally after such an informal meeting, I began to see things, and still more naturally the first things that I saw were stars-stars of all kinds and sizes. Soon a change took place, and I saw among the stars several -planets, one of which I noticed particularly because it kept growing larger and larger and came toward me at a rapid rate. As it drew near, I recognized my old friend, the Earth. On the north pole was nailed a sign which read, 1925. Then two gleams of light appeared which puzzled me greatly, but at that moment I was startled by hearing a voice say, One gleam is from the torch of the Goddess of Liberty in New York harbor which is still enlightening the world, but the other is from her rival, George Conner, who is also enlightening the world with his wonderful dis- coveries, inventions, and explanations. By that time the City of New York itself was before me, and the first thing that I saw was the in- terior of a large theatre which was packed to overflowing. On the stage was a wonderful orchestra under the leadership of Herbert France. I recognized scattered among the array of horns and violins old friends in jacob Sigal, Gould Curtis, and Raymond Pomeroy, while Harold Rosenfeld was playing the Isaac Horn and Francis Sullivan, the harp. Walter Heppner and joseph Reynolds were accompanying them by beating on their skulls with drum-sticks. Nearly every one in the audience was in tears over the pathetic piece the orchestra was rendering, entitled, How Dear to My Heart Are the Thoughts of My Schooldaysf' In the box for the guests of honor, I saw Ida Yudo- witch who, so the voice said, was now the wife of Pasquale Huran- 1 45','1H -, ,A f- , .bv '- w .4-1, 0 Q .yn wr THE CHRONICLE 299 zilla, the President pro tem. of Mexico. XVith her was Esther Sherry. who was touring the United States, giving lectures on XVhy Mexico Has Always Had a Stable Government. I also noticed 'in the audience such old-time lovers of music as Anna Thorsen, Bertha Manning, Ruth Henrichon, Lillie Selitzky, and Bertha Dettenborn, while perched up in nigger heaven were Earl Eberle, Maurice NViener, and Chester Matthews. I next saw an ambulance driven by Theodore Brazcl racing up Fifth Avenue taking Carl Holm. This poor fellow had been struck in the heart by one of his pupils who had cast sheep's eyes at him while he was teaching the new Le Roy Fox-Trot to Doris Wilsoii, Hazel Starkie, Genevieve Ferry, Luis Murdock, and David VVallace in Eliza- beth Hall's dancing hall. In a 11ear-by drug store was Henry Spitz telephoning, and I could.hear him say as he took up the receiver, Information, Information, say, who was elected today? Several signs on a skyscraper read as follows: KATHARINE PURNELL Aerial jitney, New York to San Francisco 99th Floor MARION VVYPER 81 CO. Makers of Fine Towels FRANK MORHARDT 81 ERNEST NORRIS Attorneys at Law We're Frank and Ernest in all our Dealings REGULAR CODFISH ' Guaranteed to Have Had Nothing to do with My Head Hence, No Bones Joseph M. Gorton, Sole Manufacturer On one of the busiest corners in the city, among several other traffic cops, I recognized G. Wells Root. I was glad to see that there he had an opportunity to fully develop that wonderful talent for perpetual motion for which he was noted during his high school days. Then the Grand Central Station came into view, and in the mag- 300 THE CHRONICLE nificent waiting-room were several persons whom I knew and whose destinations that same peculiar voice told me as follows: Carroll Case, to found a young men's university in the Fiji Islands, and with him a corps of instructors: john Vifilliams, to teach English Literature, Franklyn Matteson, civicsg Harry Shectman, chemistry, and Moses Beckman, Italian, Alice Furnivall and Helen Gable, to start a dress- making establishment in the same place, as they had heard there was a great demand among the islanders for gowns of the latest American design, Gladys Crilly, Mary Goodacre, Florence Bodenstein. Gertrude Nugent, Flora Stewart, and Lillian Loydon, as missionaries to what was once Germany, Morgan Craig, the great agriculturist, bound for Maine, where he expected to produce pineapples in a cold climate by grafting pine trees with apple twigs, Harold Kiefer, who could run like a Fox fFrancis, I meanj, a member of the American track team, to compete with the japanese athletesg Herman Freitag, to form a volun- teer fire department in Alaska, William Tulin, to open a confectionery store in Manilla 3 and George Woolley, who was returning to his sheep ranch in the wild and woolly West. just then the train bound for the Wfest, and run by a wonderful system of magnetism invented by Raymond Allis, arrived. The motorman was Max Lerner and the conductor, Harold Connolly. Suddenly the globe began to revolve, but soon stopped at New Haven. There, seated at the desk of the president of the N. Y., N. Hi. 81 H. R. R., was our chairman. On the desk, I noticed a large volume, entitled, From Switchtender to President, an Autobiography in French by Harold Carey. Then I saw Harold Benedict out in a milk bowl, I mean the Yale bowl, coaching the Yale football team through its sixth successful season under his guidance. In Acker- man and Shea's drygoods store, I noticed John Ahern, a floorwalker, talking with a customer. I heard him say, Yes, you see as this is a drygoods store, our customers became so thirsty that we had to in- stall several soda fountains and an automatic sprinkler system. Again the planet began to turn, but this time so rapidly that I could only catch glimpses of certain places. In Poquonock over the entrance of a rather dilapidated building were the words, Post Office and General Store, .while in the doorway sat Fred Sloane, who now had so much time to waste that his store was full of waste-baskets. At Litchfield, I saw George B. Newton, Jr., who was the superinten- dent of The George junior Republic in that place. THE CHRONICLE 301 VVhen everything was normal again, I perceived that this time it was Chicago I was gazing at. On a large building was this sign: BENJ. SILVERBERG Sz CLARA SILVERMAN Silversmiths Dealers in Finesilver and Ruby Silver In another place, these words stared me in the face: KATZMAN 81 KATZENSTEIN Kamkatska Kats for Sale Next I saw a large array of tents which I knew to be a circus, and in a side-show under the caption, NVorld's Tallest Giant, I recognized Maynard Lydiard, who had grown nearly three feet after leaving High School, too much study having stunted his growth up to that time. A large crowd had gathered around a tent on which were the words, Wittiest Man Ever Born. As this man came out of the tent, I saw that it was Arthur Tilton and I was nearly overcome when I heard him say, When is a door more than a door ? After receiving many incorrect answers, he replied, When the door Isidore Sudarskyf' Among the clowns, I recognized easily enough Elmer Roszelle and Hyman Poritz. The managers of this wonderful circus were Clifford Williams and James Cronin. An altogether dillerent scene was next presented. It was the interior of a Sunday School and the superintendent, Arthur Lally, was speaking. He was saying, After a few remarks by our rector fwho happened to be Newton Larkunlj, we will hear from Bishop Herbert Johnson. In another part of the city, a National High School Teachers' Convention was in progress. Among the delegates were such notables as Mildred Steane, Rebecca Leikind, Alice Cotter, Veronica Murphy, Anna Daly, and Marion Case of the feminine gender, while Everett Sturman, Abraham Newser, the Dwyers, Albert and George, john Pilgard, and Edwin Brady represented the male side of the human race. Mary Moriarity was presiding, and just then she rose and said, Our next speaker will be Miss Marion Kofsky, author of 'History of the European War of 1914-l920,' who will endeavor to answer for us that difficult question, 'Can Elsie B. Wright or Wrong P' At the next turn of the planet, I realized that I was looking 302 THE CHRONICLE upon the City of VVashington. In the Treasury building, at the Secre- tary of the Treasury's desk was Manning Hodgdon, and his private secretary was Evald Skau. just coming out of the White House was Frederick Meyer, American ambassador to the United States of Europe. On a large hotel was the sign: Headquarters of the International Perpetual Peace Delegates, and entering the building each with a dove of peace on her hat, I saw Ruth jackson, Dorothy Stanclinger, Irene Muller, and Mercedes Walsh of the fair sex, and Leslie I-Iobau, Edmund Saunders, Harold Morhardt, and Samuel Traub of the masculine gender, each of whom had a peace- pipe in his mouth. But the ball did not remain stationary long, turning around until Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was before me. I could see no reason for presenting me this view for I did not notice a single old acquaintance, but soon the city directory opened in front of me and from that I copied these names: Lucius Tarbell, automobile and card dealer: Leon Pittman. a second Billy Sunday, general secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Robert Radom, South America's greatest instructor in French, and Arthur T. Bogue, jr., motor-boat service between Rio de Janeiro and Wetliersfielcl Cove, Connecticut, U. S. A. I noticed by this time that the scenes on the globe were getting farther and farther away from my old home town, so in desparation I cried out, A Backward, turn backward! Oh globe, in thy flight! Let me see Hartford again just for tonight. In obedience to this injunction, the planet immediately turned back to Hartford. My attention was at once attracted by a gigantic parade and celebration. Several successive banners had these words on them: WONDERFUL! MARVELOUS! STUPENDOUS! UN- BELIEVABLE! PREPOSTEROUS! and on the last great banner was this inscription: THE HIGH SCHOOL ON BROAD STREET AND THE UNION STATION FINISHED THE SAME DAY, SEPTEMBER FIRST, 1925! The marshal of this mammoth parade was none other than Rodney Dennis. In the course of the procession were the High School Com- THE CHRONICLE 303 mittee, Ruth Prentiss, Evelyn Russell, and Frederick Delehanty, and the contractors for the new station, a company consisting of NVilliam Grady, Louis Antupitzky, john Nolan, and john Maloy, through whose efforts the work had been rushed to completion. As the parade came in front of the reviewing stand before the Municipal building, oh, horror of horrors! What did I see! Suf- fragettes!!! There, in the mayo1 s place, was the renowned civics scholar, Lillian Kent, and grouped around her among the aldermen- I beg your pardon, alderwomen-1 recognized Georgina Ramsdell, Helen Boyce, Virena Macomber, Marion Leitz, Mary McDonough, and Lura Sanders. On Arch Street was Julius Herrmann, speaking to a great crowd of men on Votes for Men, while on the north side of the square was Samuel Suisman, another great orator, speaking on Give the Men Another Chance. Among the crowds lining the curbs, 1 could see interestedly watching the procession, Frances Bertucci, Florence Lawler, Nellie Lamiansky, Marion Tilton, and Beatrice Shulman. Pushed back to the buildings by the policewomen because they were mere me11 were Howard Diman, David Sessarsky, Leighton Smith, David Schuminsky, and Harold Phoenix, peeking up over the heads of the others. Craning her neck out of a second story window was Alice Barstow, now editor of the Hartford Rasp- berry, a rival of the Hartford Courant, while in the next block was Richard Griswold also craning his neck to see the sights. This young man had become no less la person than the editor of the lVcther.rjic'ld Onion Guide. In a large open field in the suburbs of the city, I saw a number of young men and women seemingly very busy. They were looking through transits and telescopes, and using every known instrument for measuring and calculating. Their faces though young wore an anxious and care-worn expression and there were streaks of gray in their hair. Nevertheless, I recognized Alan Woodward, E. Henzell Mitchell, William Hofer, Frances Cowles, Anna Hannon, and Eleanor Seidler. From time to time, they would shout through a megaphone the results of their calculations to their chief, Frederick Vogel, who was seated far above them on the top of his high marks. I was indeed perplexed at this strange sight, but just then the little voice spoke up and said, Mr. Vogel and his friends have been trying ever since they left High School to find the exact distance to Tipperary, and it's a long way to go. - 304 THE CHRONICLE At that moment, the planet began to grow dark, the cities became confused and then entirely blotted out. Suddenly, from the interior of this globe up hopped a little elf. I called out to him, You little shrimp, who are you ? He replied in a saucy tone, 'Tm the guy that put the see in prophecy, and then he disappeared as did the globe. I awoke and found myself in a cute little cot and heard some one say: Oh, he'll come out all right. His skull was so hard that the fall didn't do him a bit of harm. NVe're going to send him home now. And so they did. F. W. GIDDINGS, HENRY' W. XIALENTINE. THE CHRONICLE 305 CLASS DAY Class Motto QUOD CONSTITUIMUS FACERE POSSUMUSU Class Colors PURPLE AND BUFF Class Chairman HAROLD D.

IEntered at the Post Oiiice at Hartford, Connecticut, for transmission as mail matter of the second class.1 HE june number of The Chronicle is devoted almost entirely to the interests of the Senior Class. It is designed to serve as a souvenir, in general, of our four years in High, and, in particular, of Class Day, when we gather for the last time for the purpose of enjoy- ment only. May it bring back to us, in years to come, many happy recollections of old work, old play, and old friends in the H. P. H. S.! HIS year has witnessed a number of forward steps in our extra- curriculum student activities. The High School Club has been put on a firm and surer basis and has demonstrated its lasting 0.1- THE CHRONICLE qualities. It will perform a valuable service in increasing the ac- quaintances of all the boys with one another and preserving the unity of the school. The newly organized orchestra has already proved its worth, and has quickly found a place in the hearts of all, as was clearly shown on the Memorial Day exercises, when it was given an ovation. Another vacant place has been filled by the forming of the Dramatic Club. This is yet to be tested, but we are certain that in the time of trial it will not be found wanting. Besides these, the lfVar News Club and the increasing number of lectures the school is pro- viding for the different departments are to be chronicled as steps in the right direction. Undoubtedly, we are improving. HE Chronicle Board takes pleasure in announcing the election of Helen Tolles, '16, Lucille Leete, '17, John Coyle, '16, Richard Bradley, '17, and john Nichols, '17, as members of next year's Board. Llewellyn Spencer, '16, will act as editor-in-chief. The selection of all these was based on work done for The Chronicle. ITH this issue, the Board of Editors for 1915 lay down their work. They can do this with the consciousness that they have done their best to live up to the traditions of The Chronicle: to culti- vate the very highest type of literary effort that is possible in the school, to truly represent the school's life and spirit by sticking, in all the departments, to things closely connected with the school, to endeavour to support established institutions that are a benefit to the school, and to suggest new ones that are likely to beg to exclude all personalities, and quibs and jokes in bad taste, and, in general, to publish a paper that may obtain for itself a high standing among its contemporaries. Of how far we have succeeded in this, our readers must be the judges. But for whatever success we have attained, we are necessarily in a large measure indebted to the loyal support which has been ours from the whole student body, and in no better way can we close this twenty-fourth volume of The Chronicle than by wishing and assuring, too, those who will follow us next year, that same encouragement and backing.
