I WILL ROGERS By P. J. O'Brien WVill Rogers was born in Calemore, Oklahoma, in 1879, the son of Clement Van and Mary Rogers. I-Iis mother was Irish, with seine Indian, and his father was Indian and a mixture of Irish and French. During his childhood he learned to ride horses and learned to do stunts. In his youth he went to South America to rope cattle, and traveled around on his faIther's money until he was twenty- five. Then he settled down for a while. I-Iis education was of the high school variety and he could have had a degree from any college after he became famous. His outstanding characteristics were his smile and his unruly hair, which never would stay in place. He had a very fine personality and he had many friends. Nothing ever seemed to make him unhappy. His in- terests were polo, charities and ranching on his ranch in Santa Monica. His pet charities were the Red Cross, the Crip- pled Childreifs Home and the people that were victims of Hoods and earth- quakes. He was always happy to do anything he could for them. He started out in vaudeville, but worked himself up to being in the movies and achieved worldwide fame. After he married Betty Blake in 1908, he led a full, rich life. He loved airs planes and had many pilots as friends. It was by airplane that he was killed in 1985 while undertaking a flight around the world in the shortest time. They were fifteen miles south of Port Bar- row in the Arctic when something went wrong with the engine and they plunged to their death in the Arctic ice. Ile was noted for his good humor, his witty jokes, and for giving to the poor. The people who had hit parts in his movies were treated the same as the King of Belgium would have heen. lt was because of this that he had so 20 1- niany friends. N. Clement '50 IN A DARK GARDEN By Frank C. Slaughter The time of this story is during the Civil NVar in the United States. The chief character, a surgeon, is in Eng- land at the beginning of the war, but most of the story takes place in Aznier- ica. The surgeon is a southerner by birth but he has to make a decision he- lween helping the North or the South. 'llhc doctor 'feels it is his duty to ofller his services to the Confederacy and re- lnrns to America to do so. There he finds that the woman he married in England is an agent of the Unionisls. Before coming -to America the doctor studied in England and Europe and astonished Englandis great doctors by performing amputations without hav- ing gangrene set in, resulting in death to the patient. , The plot was mostly man against man. The surgeon and chief character, julian Chisholm, struggles with his own will in deciding which side to work for as a surgeon in the war. He marries a woman in England in hopes of forget- ting the woman he loves in America. Then he goes onto the battlefield, hop- ing to forget them both. The chief character was julian Chis- hohn, who thought more of his own dnty to his country and o'f the saving of lives than of his love affairs, which showed his nnselfishncss. He was pa- tient with other people, kind to his as- sistants and thoughtful of his lady friends. Other characters were his lady friends, one being his wife, jane An- derson. She won the doctor's love in a very indirect way. offering him money for his trip from England to America if he would marry her. The hook gave a very interesting ac- eonnt of the war and the miracles per- formed hy a surgeon. Richard Mower '47
