Illlsallsyll Page Eight Editorial ODERNISM has many interpretationse to the interior decorator it may mean futuristic furniture: to the musician. discordant jazz: to the educa- tor, methods new and individualistic: to the scientist, television and breath- taking inventions: to the housekeeper, systematic short-cuts: to hafHed parents, smoking and frank discussions among the young: but to thinking individuals modernism may carry a deeper interpretation. It means to Hillsdale a newer conception of life's relationships, :1 saner analysis of life's perplexities, a gracious acceptance of life's responsibilities. We are still young and naive enough to thrill over a sunset. or the song of a bird, or a game, well played, Too, we are old and wise enough to compre- hend the gifts of this modern age, progressive education, adequate equipment, student government. So we chose modernism as the theme of the ttTelescope with the hope that our Annual will typify the spirit of eagerness and sincerity with which we pledge our youth to the idealistic concepts already exemplified by our personnel and our school.

It was the kind of summer morning when one feels full of energy, and will not lie in bed after he awakes. SO it was with me, except for just one moment, when I sat up on my small cot, to gaze through the large open window, over the landscape. As I gazed, I felt a sort of thrill run through me. The little village of Ayr, with its small thatched huts, nestled in the crotch of the mountain. And to think, it was midsummer, and yet you could look up upon the numerous peaks of the Alps. Which were covered with a soft white blanket. It was a quaint old Village, with the houses placed on stilts, and there, walking up the slope, was an old woman, dressed in the Swisspeasant costume, and on her back was strapped a load of hay. My thoughts were interrupted by a voice, UCarol, hurry up. Father is already dressed, and mother is staying in bed for breakfast K At the sound of my brother's voice. I threw a handful of cold water on my face, and dressed quickly. Father and Gil met me at the door of the breakfast room. This hotel was so far from a large town that we were the only guests there. All the windows were open, and the sun shone brightly upon the tables. On each was placed a little dish of jam and one of honey. Now, since all the windows were open I suppose the creatures outside could not resist it. As soon as we were comfortably seated at the table near the window, I, being only nine years old, jumped up and ran screaming to Father, NA bee, a bee? My brother, being ten and a half, exclaimed Iaughingly, ItTwo of them! Then father proposed that we move to another table. We did so. No sooner had we seated ourselves than Gil jumped up, waving his napkin, IiGet away, you nasty creature, I'm hungryfi UGilbert, watch outl He'll sting you, shouted Father. Just then the waiter appeared, bringing out eggs, milk, and toast. HWhat shall we do about these bees, Joe? asked Father. uJust move to another table, sir, he answered. HWe've tried that, but I guess we might as well try it again. But the same process occurred. So the waiter shut the windows. Satisfied, we sat down and began to eat. I dipped my spoon deep in the luscious honey, and scooped outaa bee, Quickly its mate joined it on my toast. I dropped it on the table and started to run from the room. As I ran I bumped into mother. HFinished already, dear? she said. I'What did you have for breakfast? HBees, I wailed. uNothing but bees. CAROL BETTMAN, Grade VIII. Page Thirty-eighr Desire of Youth RANDMOTHER, what is that big, beautiful, gold thing shining up there? asked the the little girl. i HThat, my child, is the sun, replied the old lady. UHas anyone ever been there? Does it belong to somebody? HGoodness, dear, it's so many miles away that no human could possibly reach it, and, of course, it doesn't belong to anyone. HHow do you know nobody could reach it? Has anyone ever tried? The child was all eagerness. uTell me about it, Grandmother. HWelI, she began slowly, for nothing delighted her more than telling a story, Hit is an enormous ball of solid gold and it shines so brilliantly that the people who inhabit it can never sleep. However, they have no need of sleep, for they are great strong youths and maidens who never grow old. Their skin is as White as milk and their hair is the same Shining gold as the world they live in. Their garments are of flaming silks and satins which refiect themselves on us in summer. No one ever works on the sun, Oh, no indeed. Their days are spent watching us, for every movement of ours is clear to them, while we never catch even the tiniest glimpse of those magnificent people. HWhat do they do at night while we are asleep? asked the little girl, iiOh, they sip golden wines from ruby goblets and rest so they Will be more vigilant than ever next dayf' was Grandmother's dreamy reply. H1 hope the sun comes a little nearer before many years, Grandmother. uWhy? Do you wish to Visit it? UVisit it! the child,s eyes sparkled. HWhy, Grandmother, if it is as wonderful as you say it is, I want to own it! iiEvery fibre of my being felt that same desire once, childf' and the old woman smiled knowlingly. And old Europe had a right to smile on her youthful granddaughter. SUZANNE NOYES, Grade IX.

III Just for today, 0 heart of mine, be glad, For the great, loud crying, the impetuous hope for gain, For that which is between us and death we pine, For the distant cry of tomorrow! SUE STRAUSS, Grade VIII. Page Thirty-nine The Letter VANCE LANE sat thinking in his cozy, comfortable study. As he fondled the warm bowl of his pipe and drowsily watched the bright flames of the hre, his thoughts drifted back to his childhood. He had fished and hunted alone for a while, a strong, long limbed, awkward boy. Later he had had a companion, a thin, hollow-chested, wistful child following devotedly at his heels. The two spent their childhood together, the one entering all sports enthusias- tically, the other watching him enviously. Their firm friendship had lasted even through their college days. Richard Sumner was a regular fellow, not physically strong, but clever, keen and understanding. With a stare Lane awoke from his reverie. By Jove? he hadn't seen Richard for all of seven years. How hard it had been for them to separate after college, Lane to enter his father's prospering business, Sumner to take up the uncertain job of journalism, Lane had worried about Sumner, he was not able to endure many hardships and disappointments with strength and forbearance. Busy as Vance had been with his ever-increasing business, he had not had the time to watch the career of his childhood friend. Now that he had more leisure time, he must look Old Sumner up and renew the friendship. Lane was aroused from his pleasant thoughts by the sound of the doorbell He glanced at his watch and wondered vaguely who would be calling at this late hour. The housekeeper pushed the door opene HA gentleman to see you, sirf' HShow him up. Mrs. Stantonfl Vance was curious to see this late visitor. A thin, dark figure slipped through the doorway and stood before him. Lane thought there was something vaguely familiar about the finely shaped head and round drooping shoulders, but he dismissed the thought as impossible and spoke briskly. iiWell, what is it you wish, my man? The man looked at him with dull, lifeless eyes. HYou don't know me, Vance Lane? Lane started, a that voiceeRichard e- but it couldnlt be, not shabby and dirty like this. He grasped the man by the shoulders and looked at him. Richard, what have you done to yourself? he cried. uThat's not what Iim here to tell you, Sumner answered, coldly, shaking the friendly hand from his shoulder. ul want to ask a favor of you for the sake of our past friendship. Lane, surprised and rebuffed by his coldness, remained silent. HI was walking down llet Street todayfi Sumner continued, iiwhen a girl looking very bewildered and puzzled, stopped me and asked me how to hnd Robert Jones. W. 152nd Street. We went to that address but he wasn't there and his former housekeeper said she hadn't seen him since the time he had come for a letter nearly a month before. Frankly, I have never seen a more beautiful, attractive girl. I didn't like to leave her alone on that busy street, so I took her to a boarding house I knew, and paid for her food and board for one day with all the money I had left. What I want you to do, Lane, for old time's sake, is to send this girl. home, back where she belongs, to her people in the country. Lane looked at him a moment in Page Forty silence. trying to fathom the source of his strange interest and request However, he remem- bered Summer's kindness and gentleness in college and thought that in some ways he had not changed. Vance consented gladly and Sumner rose quickly, but Lane urged him to stay, reluctant to lose sight of this companion and friend of his youth. Richard refused grutliy, but his voice trembled when he thanked him. Then with a brief Hgood night he slipped from the room. Lane hurried to the door to look after him, but he was gone. As he settled himself in front of the fire again, Vance shook his head. VJhat funny tricks Fate plays on us. Clever, brilliant, Richard Sumner looking so pathetic and beaten. He wondered vaguely Why Sumner should be so upset by what appeared a trivial incident. The next day Sumner appeared in Lane's office around noon and the two men started out together. Vance had a feeling of repulsion as he followed his guide through the dirty narrow alleys into the slums of New York. They found the girl in the cheap, dirty boarding house where Sumner had left her. She was all that he had described and Lane liked her truthful, bewildered eyes and her straightforward manner. She told her story simply and quickly. A sickly young writer had come to stay at a farm near her home to recover his health. He was fascinating with his sensitiveness and temperament, so the girl had fallen in love With him, for saking her country sweetheart. The man had returned her love and when he left for New York told her he would come back some day. HBut, she ended sadly, Uhe's never returned. The other boy wants to marry me, but I don't love himt Rob isnlt here and I have no money. What shall I do? Richard Sumner spoke abruptly in a strangely muffled voice. HYou must return to the other boy. It is the only way you will find happiness. After a little argument, the girl consented and the two men drove her to the station. She thanked them both, but she seemed more attracted to Sumner than to Lane, As the train pulled in she spoke to him with forced gaiety. UYou must come to the country and get well, too You remind me of Robs her voice caught and impulsively she raised the dirty hand to her lips. Sumner snatched it away and strode rapidly toward the street. Lane put the girl on the train and then ran after his friend. When he had caught up he said, HWhat on earth made you do all this, RichardWl The man shook off Lane's hand and spoke gruny. NMany thanks. old man, Ihope to repay you some day e I'll be on my way now. But Fate played another trick on Richard Sumner'a kinder one, for as he gathered his thin coat around him a letter fell from his pocket. He stooped quickly, but Lane reached it first. He glanced carelessly at the address and then stopped suddenly. HMr. Robert Jones, W. 152nd Street. New York City. He looked at the flushed, guilty face of his friend and then at the letter. nAre you? e Sumner, answer me! With a cry, Richard buried his face in his hands and began to sob hysterically. What else could I do, Lane? Look at meeI couldn't ruin her illusion. What was there left to do? Vance Lane silently put his arm around Richard Sumner and led him back to the haven of his own pleasant home. CHARLOTTE HOFFMAN. Grade XII.

New find threatens to take Eva Le Gallienneis place in the theatrical world, Miss Russell Coles has earned nationewide fame because of her skill- ful interpretation of HMaggiei' in the delightful play, HMaggie and Jiggsf' ' She received her dramatic training at Hillsdale School in the Class of '31. NOBEL PRIZE Miss Jane Godwin ranks now with Selma Lagerlof. She won the coveted Nobel prize this year and she attributes her success to her work on the board of HHilI Breezes of 31. Miss Harriet Larmon is now established in a home on the Pacific. She was proclaimed Miss California last year in the Western Bathing Beauty Contest. She has as a house guest at present her devoted admirer, Miss Kathryn Steiner, who has a reputation of being one of the most sophisticated women of today. Many charming stories have been written for children by Miss Barbara Bookman. She has continued A. A. Milne's story of HWinnie, the Pooh, and under her skillful guidance itWine nie has had many delightful adventures. It may interest Cincinnatians to learn that Miss Margaret Lotspeich With the assistance of the Misses Mary Pritz and Eleanor Brooks has established an asylum for lost, strayed, or stolen children in Kalamazoo. Miss Virginia Lord has become principal of a school in connection With this asylum. She is very successful in her exalted position. SCHOOL OPENS Miss Emily Brown opened the doors of a mucheneeded school of social work today in Glendale. She is very eflicient and her able assistant is Miss Peggy Keys also a resident of the Village. One of the high points of the musical calendar Was a recital given by Miss Sylvia Meeks. She played only the newest jazz music With great vigor and enthusiasm. VJANDERLUSTI Two of the most unique figures of to- day, Who have been seen in practically eV- ery country of the world, are those of Miss Elsa Thompson and Miss Jane Little- ford. These girls, un- able to decide What schools to attend after graduating from Hills- dale in '31, decided to try each school for a month and due to the great number and va- riety of institutions, they are still investi- gating. Miss Eunice Schott is not only an out- standing figure in the world because of her dramatic ability but 31- so because she designs her own charming cos- tumes and artistic set- tings. She has opened one of the most unique theaters today. FORMER ROSEBUDS IN BLOOM Those of the Class of '31 may be interested to learn that Miss Dorothea Hummel announced her engagement today to the present Prince of Wales at a delightful luncheon at the exclusive Knockout Club which is maintained by Mrs. S.

Representatives of this class called a meeting to be held at the home of Emily Hawley. With all the graduates then in the city present, elections were held for the ensuing year. During the Christmas vacation We found time to have a meeting and informal luncheon at the school. With the Class of '31 about to become members, the Association gives promise of becoming a Hourishing and permanent ore ganization. Faye Forty - four Alum News E HEAR that HPokey Willis. one of the peppiest of our first year Seniors, is doing fine work in Applied Arts at U. C and also that she is appearing in the U. C. musical comedy this year. UPokey is a member of the Delta Delta Delta sorority and is still as popu- lar as ever among her friends. Atha Haydock, '28, is anticipating the pursuance of married life with the very lucky Joseph Henry Head. Her popularity as a debutante was overwhelming as those of us who knew her at Hillsdale can well understand. We will always remember the pep and personality of our HAddie. Betty Bookman, '28. married John Maish of Harvard and is at present living in Clifton. Peggy Ffiedlander, '29. who formerly attended Wheaton College in Massachusetts, is now enrolled in the University of Cincinnati. Along With her course in Applied Arts she is enjoying a new green Chevrolet and the social life of the city. Jane Windisch, '29, has been having a wonderful time this Winter. Dissatisfied at Ben- net's School, she went to California for a Visit. Lately she has been in Hawaii With her sister. Not bad! Charlotte Freiberg. '29, is Sophomore at Smith and is doing exceptionally fine work in art. Janet Seasongood, '30, is spending this year at Rollins College in Florida. Here one is allowed all the pleasures that Florida can offer, for the girls lie on the beach and study or pre- pare their work While drifting in canoes. However Janet is working hard and gaining a very high average. Our former star athlete Dorothy Hussey, ,30, is at Sweet Briar College in Virginia. Al- though Dot is on the Freshman basketball team and their games are fast and furious, she still misses the exciting tournaments at Hillsdale. Eunice Adams, '30. has chosen Denison as her college because it is the Alma Mater of her mother and father. She has recently been initiated into the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority and she says that college is even more fun than she expected. Jane Allen, ,30, is now at Pine Manor and she likes it very well. Not only does her name head the honor roll, but she is one of the six girls elected for the annual board, which is quite an honor. Caroline Stilwell. '30, is at Smith this year and is working exceptionally hard. She is president of her house, which is quite unusual for a Freshman. She is also anticipating a tour of England this summer with her mother. i'Butate tBettyl Baldwin, '30, is at Pine Manor taking a homemaking course. She lives in the French house and has learned to speak the language fluently. Also she has been made the Secretaty-Treasurer of the Athletic Association. Page Fortq-five CONTRIBUTIONS FROM HILL BREEZESII Motion Pictures T WAS from an old fairy book, that had belonged to my mother when she was a little girl, that I received my first impression of iimovie pictures. The story, as I remember, Was of a prince locked in a magic tower. One day when he was extremely bored, he happened to open a book filled with beautiful pictures. To his great surprise, the illustration at which he was looking came to life. The people in the picture who were dining, really ate the food, the servants actually served it on golden platters, and the musicians played real music on their tiny instruments. This story pleased me exceedingly and I Would often beg my nurse to read it. HHow wonderfulf I thought, uto have pictures come to life! I would peek at the illustra- tions in my books and hope that the characters would speak to me. Then, at last, my Wish came true, for I was taken to the motion picture HAlice in Wonderland. There I saw my favorite character talk to the White rabbit, fall down the hole into Wonderland, swim in her own tears, and go through all the other adventures of Wonderland in one great picture. If the movie had been colored, and the characters had spoken, it would have been exactly like the Prince's magic book. As We were going home, I can well remember how angry my sister was because she could not understand how the pictures could move. HI don't see how a picture girl can swim in real tears, she cried angrily. 'iBut the tears are pictures, my mother answered. HWell then, how can a real girl swim in picture tears? I'm never going to see another movie. A real girl in picture water! My sister has failed utterly to live up to her decision, for, without exaggeration, she has seen at least five hundred movies since that first one. As for myself, I was neither excited not angry. The pictures in my iiAlice in Wonderland had simply come to life. Some good magician had granted my wish, and why should I question his action? Soon afterwards, I saw another motion picture, and my sister, not wishing to miss any- thing. condescended to go with me. This time, the picture was not a dramatization of any book that had been read by me, but something entirely new. It was called ilRositta, and it was about a certain king who wished to marry a little poor girl. The heroine, however, loved someone else, and the king would first have to kill him. But, of course, it ended happily. Rositta married her sweetheart, and the king blessed the union of happy lovers. This, I thought. was the height of wonderful romance. But some of my illusions concerning magicians and pictures coming to life were dispelled when I learned that the pretty HRositta was not a true person, but only a character impersonated by some real human. However, the actress, Mary Pickford, had been a little poor girl, and had come from a family much like Rosittas so perhaps they were the same person, except that one lived in the time of kings and the other in the time of motion pictures. at least that is what I thought then. Page Fort y - six From that time, my idea of movies slowly changed. They were something that I could see once in a very long time, and only when there was an especially good one in town. Thus, I saw only the good ones, and, consequently, I imagined that all movies were wonderful. Hollywood, I thought, was in bright California where there were always oranges growing on beautiful trees; indeed, it was a veritable fairyland. There, I imagined, there was forever one great play, and there Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks reigned supreme over a world of glittering stars. But, here again, I found that I was wrong. Hollywood was a busy city, and the stars did not glitter, but were plain, everyday people, who made their living by acting. Many of them were jealous of each other, and some were always doing insane things to attract the attention of the public Soon, I was allowed to see more and more movies. The more I saw, the more I realized how few and far between were the good ones. Vitaphone and color have come into motion pictures and made them even more like the illustration in the Prince's book, but I am no longer interested or amazed just because pictures move. They have to tell an interesting or amazing story, and often their advertisements, UExcitingl'i HDramaticI 'iGrippingl HThril- lingl'l hide a sickly, well-worn plot, such as that of the poor girl who gives up the rich hero, because his parents tell her that she will ruin his career if she marries him. In the end, the par- ents, realizing how wonderful the poor girl is, and repenting of their harshness, bless their happy union with a very extravagant wedding. This plot and a few others are repeated over and over again with slight variations until I sometimes want to send a whole list of books with a wide variety of plots to some screen producer, who needs to realize his staleness, But sometimes, there is a great picture. A picture like llAll Quiet on the Western Frontf' When I had seen that, I realized why so many great men and women wish to outlaw war: for in that movie I saw how war can change normal men into shell-shocked, almost insane, cowerv ing animals. I saw war changing normal boys into bitter men who had to bury their natural emotions, who could not fear death or blood and had to look smilingly on dying men. I saw wholesale massacres of people who had been the healthiest of their countries; and all this was in one great picture. It made me wonder why we must have war. I asked myself why the coun- tries, who still profess to long for peace, are arming themselves in order to kill thousands of healthy men, and it made me applaud those far-sighted people who truly Wish to make war a thing of the past. Then, there are other great pictures, HDisraeli, HCimarron, or HByrd's Adventures of the South Pole. The last is more Hdramatic, uexciting, gripping, and thrilling than anything I have ever seen. In that picture I ventured forth to the South Pole. I felt the ice freezing in my shoes. I saw the wonderful beauty of the great ice-covered conti- nent. and watched the American flag wrapped in a stone from the grave of Floyd Bennett, fall upon the bottom of the earth. These few great pictures seem to me to show what the movies really can be and that is why I often go, always optimistic, and always murmuring, lIPerhaps this will be good, and --sometimes, I am rewarded. LAURA GAMBLE THOMPSON. Grade X. Page Fany-seuen A Meteor A meteor swiftly moved across the sky, Leaving a trail of golden flame, And I felt all the superstitious awe That chilled men's hearts in ages long since gone; It seemed a heavenly sign, A portent, token of celestial wrath, An indication that the world was wrong. That I, a tiny fraction of the Whole Was yet responsible for all. I shivered, and turned my eyes away, Despite the beauty of the spectacle, To look. into the embers of a match-made tire, and was comforted. After all, I said, it's nothing but a meteor, A bit of matter caught up in our atmosphere, Obedient to the laws of gravitation, Flaming because of friction in its iiight, ItAs only a meteor that they'll track down And place, neatly labelled, in some Natural History Museum.

Page FifIy-Iiue Page Fiftyisix Diary of a Freshman FRIDAYeWell, diary, it's begun. Next week is wFreshman Week, and those bloodthirsty Seniors were so eager to chastise us. that they began early. We were all led into Assembly on hands and knees. Heaven help us! Ilye never heard so many rules at one time. MONDAYeI had just dug all the splinters out of my knees and recovered from a headache, trying to learn rules, when the sight of the Seniors hovering over me, drove every thought from my head. What a timel WEDNESDAYeNOthing has been said to me, but I know my sins are multiplying rapidly. The Seniors huddle in little groups, but when an innocent Freshman hoves in view, an omnious silence falls over them. What can it mean? FRIDAY NIGHTeI'm writing this while my hair dries, tmy Senior daubed it with every- thing from glue to iodiney and Mother is trying to do something for my poor swollen nose. I pushed a penny across the floor for what seemed like miles and it picked up every splinter as neatly as a vacuum cleaner could have done. However, in spite of my aches and pains, I have the satisfaction of being a real Hhigh school girl. Just wait, you snickering Sophomores, we will laugh too, next year. Virgil Play ILLSDALElS contribution to the world-wide celebration of the two thousandth anniver- sary of Virgil's birth was a play depicting the important stages of this great poet's life. This play meant a great deal to us because it was entirely our own creation. It was written expressly for the occasion by Miss Draw. and under the guidance of Miss Padwick, the Senior class designed and made the costumes the Junior class constructed the settings and the Sopho- more class enacted the play. Page Fifty-seuen Christm as Pageant FTER schools have been in existence for a few years, they acquire traditions. Hillsdale has many traditions now, one of Which is the Christmas pageant Each year the same story is used, uThe Nativity of Christ, but the smaller details are changed, making each presenta- tion slightly different. The solo parts were exceptionally well done this year, some of the voices being a complete surprise to many of us. The Senior choir waszvery effectively dressed in black robes and green hoods and the carolers, wearing doublets and hose, with feathers stuck in their close-fltting caps, added a someWhat lighter note to the performance. The Whole play was solemn and picturesque, and we hope that in the future the pageant Will be as successful as that of 1930. Page Fiflyeeight Hill Manor Tea Dance N the thirteenth of February, Hill Manor held its annual tea dance for the Seniorst The living room where the hostesses received was cleverly decorated and at one end a lively orchestra played the latest music. Charming prizes were given for waltzes and lucky number dances. Later in the afternoon delicious refreshments Were served in the dining room. Everyone had a thoroughly enjoyable time and the Seniors Will always remember the tea dance of thirty-one. French Night N her usual clever and capable way hMam'selle prepared and presented the French program on March the thirteenth. There were many charming songs, poems and two plays which afforded much amusement. One of the unusual features was the musical interlude by the String Ensemble which made its first appearance in public. To finish the program the Whole school stood and sang the impressive wMarseillaise. We wish to thank Mademoiselle for her hard work and patient instruction which made the outstanding success of our second Hsoiree inevitable. Gym Demonstration N Wednesday, March eighteenth, our gym was fllled to capacity by expectant parents and friends to witness our annual gym demonstration. The program went off smoothly and quickly, the girls showing fme cooperation and sportsmanship. Some of the most unusual fea- tures were the tap dance and the stunt work by the upper school and the HDance of the Tin Soldiers by the lower school. The upper school won the demonstration by a close score and we wish to congratulate the lower school on its fine work. We also wish to thank Miss Boyton and Miss Lauer for their patience and fme direction which enabled us to make our demonstra- tion such a success. Page Fifty-nine :30 A. :00 A. :31A.

Sophomore. Junior, and Senior, and one from each class of the lower school, Seventh. Eighth, and Freshman. It is the governing body of the school and all problems are brought before this council Where they are discussed and settled. The girls for Honor Study Hall are selected by this group every two weeks and such committees as the Wardens, Stewards, and Marshals are also appointed. One of the interesting things the council has clone this year has been to introduce parliamentary procedure into class meetings by conducting formal mass meet- ings in Assembly. It has been the hope of the council to make the rules of the school more democratic by introducing them to the student body through these meetings. Page Sixty-one CHARLOTTE HOFFMAN. y .
