Maurice is practically ai walking-encyclopedia of foreign affairsg just mention a country's name, and he will loose a floodgate of information about the latest developments there. But don't let this make you think that he's serious most of the time: let his 'fconfreres in the study halls attest as to his keen sense of humor and love of puns. Maurice intends to enter the field of Journalism after getting his degree from Brown and we hope to see him some day sitting behind the city desk of some great metropolitan newspaper. Honor Society.

He has earned recognition as a hurdler and pole vaulter on the track team, while receiving good marks in the class room.

BLAZAR Age 17 Brown Arnold needs no introduction to all Hopeites. His wavy hair is the envy of the fairer sex. Besides being the mainstay of the tennis and swimming teams, he wields a mean foil. One of his many hobbies is practicing his tennis during the Winter on his ping-pong table. tHe claims itls table ten- nish. Arnold is afflicted with clever relatives fwitness Howardl, but he easily lines up to the standard set by others of his clan. Among Arnold's many titles, that of being one of the best dressers in his class is by no means ill-merited. PAUL F. BLISS Age 19 I School of Organizing The boy with the smile for everybody! That is one reason for Paul's popularity. Reason two: his personality is one that you can't help but like. Reason three: his-oh well, it would take too long to tell them all because Paul has been making friends ever since he came to us from Cen- tral a year and a half ago. His outside interests center about a. certain person called Marg. We all wish him a happy and prosperous future.

It was a dingy, inconspicuous little antique shop on the out-skirts of downtown, tucked away in the corner of a fairly busy street, and completely overshadowed by more recently erected buildings. Wags was a sad-eyed cocker spaniel whose ears flapped up and down when she ran, and who had a way of sniffing herself into all sorts of queer places. On this particular afternoon, which was damp and foggy and typically fallish, I was taking Wags for a stroll. A cat suddenly appeared from nowhere and with the speed of an express train dove madly into a doorway, above which was painted the word An- tiques . Wags, a flash of red-gold, chased the cat, and being on the other end of the leash, what could I do but follow? And so we entered, Wags and I, like two gusts of wild March wind. Imagine the incongruity of our presence in such a place. We had both been shooed so many times from flimsy, rickety chairs and cracked Staffordshire china that we had acquired a marked distaste for anything even faintly resembling an antique. But there we were, and the only thing to do was to make the best of it. A withered old man who was reading a newspaper in one corner of the room arose creakingly and shuffled over to us. Interested in antiques, miss? He peered at me suspiciously. Not wishing to admit that I was there merely because I had not been able to hold back a puppy with the power of a Saint Bernard, I casually replied, Yes, I thought I'd take a look around . Suiting the action to the word, I began to eye the wares pseudo- critically. Suddenly my glance fell upon a sampler on the wall. It was a perfectly ordinary little piece of handiwork: the usual cottage, with smoke issuing from a small red chimney, a winding path leading up to the door, and God Bless Our Home cross- stitched underneath. Some little girl- Martha Bradley, aged 9, 1824 --had made her memory indelible with a bit of needlework. I wondered if God had continued to bless her home. The old gentleman apparently noticed my interest, for he ventured the remark, There's an interesting story that goes with that sampler . I replied that I was ready to hear it, for the peaceful little cottage enchanted me strangely. So we sat down in two wobbly chairs, and he began his narrative. 70 THE BLUE AND WHITE That sampler belonged to my mother. Martha gave it to her when she found out how much she admired it . QI had not, then, been the only one Whom it attractedl Martha Bradley was born in Manchester, over in England. She had a happy child- hoodg her parents worshipped her. This sampler is one of many which she made when she was young . . The four dreary walls seemed to fade from my sight, and I could picture instead a sunny, brick-walled garden, filled with hollyhocks and primroses, and a child working a sampler in the shade of an old, gnarled tree. He continued, The years went by 3 ftime goes on, no matter what else happensn, he interrupted himself philosophicallygj the years went by, and Martha married a Hue young man, William Meadowcroftjhis name was. They came to America, and bought a large plantation in Georgia. We lived within a mile of them 5 Father and William were great friends, having so much in common. Martha had everything to make her happy: a successful and devoted husband, a beautiful home, and later a son, Christopher. '- ' -i One .day her husband went riding on a new horse-as thoroughbred, and very high- strung, as all thoroughbreds are. Nobody ever found out just how it happened, but when she next saw William he was lying on the ground, dead, and the horse had run away. Got scared, they said, and bolted. After that she devoted herself entirely to Kit. He was the image of his father, and, like him, loved horses. Often Martha would forget and call him Billy. She practically lived for that boy of hers. Wags sneezed. To me it sounded as though she were a mile away, the old man did not hear her at all. He had a faraway look in his eyesg we could have gotten up and gone out without his noticing us. But we stayed. Then along came the Civil War. Kit enlisted as a cavalryman. Just a boy he was, but manly and straight as an arrow in his gray uniform-every inch a soldier. Martha begged him not to go, but he was carried away by patriotism too much to listen to her. In the spring of 1865 she received an oflicial-looking letter saying that Christopher had been killed 'in the recent battle at Richmond'. She didn't even cry when she read the letter. The next day the whole house was closed, she was gone, and nobody ever saw her again . t ' He stopped, and t-he room was filled with silence. In the back of my mind I remem- bered seeing the name Christopher Meadowcroft somewhere. Then it flashed upon me. I had been reading through the family genealogy a few months back, and had seen it there. Because it was unusual, it had impressed me. ' And so it was that I went out of the shop with the sampler under my arm. This is what I found in the genealogy that night: Martha fBradleyJ Meadowcroft, born March 11, 1815, Manchester, England. f Died March 9, 1867, Manchester, England . CSO Martha had gone back to the home of her samplerj - Christopher Meadowcroft, son of William and Martha Meadowcroft, born April 4, 1841, Thomasville Georgia. Killed in Civil War, March, 1865. Body not recovered . They were distant relatives of mine, and might not even be considered as such, so slight were the bonds of kinship, but I felt as if I had known them all my life. The sampler is hanging on the living room Wall now. I am always saddened by the sight of it, for every time I look at it, Martha seems to step out of its frame-Martha. the little English girl who grew up tofcome to America and here lost the two people Whom she loved most in the world. ' - - ' I SHEILA K. Coscnovn, '35 4. THE BLUE AND WHITE 71 TRAVEL ILLUSION S NTIL a person has traveled, he seems to be saturated with illusions and ideals. Now these 1nay be good or bad, but they don't ring true when compared with the real thing. I can remember, when I was very young, we took our Hrst long trip-from Nebraska to New York. I don't think anything really penetrated my mind until someone happened to mention that we would have to cross a certain river on a ferry. Now, I was but four, and my mind was full of stories read or told to me about elves and fairies, so when I heard that we were to cross a river on a ferry, I immediately pictured each of us climbing on a fairy's back while she flew us across the river. I looked forward to this wonderful treat for miles. At last, we caught sight of the river from the top of a hill. Someone in the car called out, Oh look, there's the ferry . I looked hard and fast-all I could see was a squat, old boat. But I don't see any fairies , I cried. When it was finally explained to me that the boat was my fairies , it took my parents the rest of the day to placate me. That incident is my first remembered disillusion. Illusions are very hard to lose. Even after the correct View of the situation has been presented, you still find yourself clinging to old ideas. I have always wanted to think that conditions in the slums are not so bad as I really know them to be. Perhaps it is avoiding the truth or again it may be self-encouragement. Nevertheless, I shall stick to my illusion which I had before going there-that slums are just places where poorer people live. Another illusion I will always have, though I know it to be untrue, is that the South is warm in the winter. One Christmas the family decided to spend the vacation in Florida. We all had visions of warm, balmy, sun-lit days, and light clothing. Well, to begin with, it rained all but about four days, the Florida people claimed it to be the coldest winter they had ever had QI hear that they claim this every winterjg and not once were we able to take off our winter overcoats. One of the familyremarked that we really ought to go North to get warm. Here again, though, whenever I hear the word, Florida , I still think of warm and sunny days. Thoughts of where you are not and where you have never been could be the defini- tion of travel illusions. I heard a person say the other day that she was going to New York for her first visit and that she could hardly wait to see all the famous, people walk- ing about! This illusion probably came from reading O. O. McIntyre's column, which is one of the best illusion-feeders I know. Travel catalogues and advertisements are more illusion-feeders. So, I say, unless you go see things for yourself, you will always be filled with illusions. ELEANOR STODDARD, '35 IN DEFENSE OF THE DREAMER EW of us stop to think what made this planet we live on the world of marvels that it is today. It was the men who, all through history, have had visions of how the great, dormant potentialities of the Earth could do man's bidding. These men have constantly and perseveringly pushed the lines of demarcation between known and un- known land into the seven seas. They proceeded to set up empires on these new, un- spoiled territories. They made these places livable by installing labor and time-saving devices. ' 72 THE BLUE AND WHITE Many of our greatest men can be classified as dreamers. Among t.hem are Homer, who dreamt of beauty, Columbus, who dreamt the earth was round, Washington, who dreamt of a republic 5 Napoleon, who dreamt of an empire, Crockett, whose dreams lay west of the Rockies g Astor, who dreamt of millions. The list is endless and is growing constantly. W. Yet these men have suffered unspeakable persecutions. They have been ridiculed. thrown into prison and asylums, and even burned at the stake for heresy. This persecu- tion has naturally slowed the wheelsxof progress, but most of the dreamers have clung tenaciously to their purposes. It would doubtless be better for everyone if the rest of us backed up the dreamers. The practical-minded people could weed out the not infrequent nightmares of the vision- gifted ones and take advantage of their better brain children. In spite of all, the dreamers, a hardy group, will probably go on uuceasingly trying to make life better for the rest of us as they have in the past. ROBERT COMERY, '36 MY FIRST DANCE . GREAT event was about to take place in my life. Indeed, to me it signified the b casting off of my childhood, I was no longer a mere infant but someone to be looked up to, a man of the world. I was attending my first dance. Long before the great event I was blundering about like a beheaded chicken, so afraid was I that I would be late. After half an hour of adjusting my tie and getting every hair in place, with the aid of the rest of the family, of course, I now faced the nerve-wracking test of ,consuming an hour of leisure before embarking. Most of the time was spent in meandering about the house trying to effect nonchalance in the face of caustic remarks from my older brother who, with the characteristic persistance of older brothers, had reduced my morale to an alarmingly low degree. At last the big moment arrived, and I cast off from the house amidst a storm of cautions, advice on etiquette, and commands to be home early. Arriving at the hall I was greeted by a radiant lustre emanating from the gaily-lighted interior, the chatter of innumerable merry voices, and the melancholy strains of a lone saxophonist, who was evidently itching to get under way. With a sinking sensation I stepped onto the floor, expecting all present to look upon me with disdain as if wondering how this insignificant little yoiath had known there was to be a dance, but, on the contrary, I was absolutely unnotice . As the evening wore on, I gradually fell into the tempo of the festivities and did my full share making the affair a success although, I must confess, I spent most of my time mingling and laughing with the crowd around the punch bowl. But something seemed lacking, and I resolved then and there that at the next dance I, too, as an escort, would be a recipient of some fair maiden's coy and adoring glance. At the extremely late hour of eleven-thirty I departed with regret from the scene of merriment and steered toward home, a tired but happy youth g my head swirling with thoughts and remembrances of the evening just past, and no doubt comparing myself to some New Yorker picking his way along Broadway at live o'clock in the morning. ROBERT BIsHoP, '35 THE BLUE. AND WHITE 73 WASHINGTON PRIL 6. Left for Washington at ten o'clock. Given huge send-off by boys, each with a suitcase. Among the goons were Pete Richards, Bob Clark, Normie Guy, - Bill Cook, Iggy Truman, Dave Kenyon, and Ed Longfellow. At first, we were sure they were really going, for never before was Normie known to arise early Saturday morning just for laughs. However, the suitcases were empty, and we departed, alone. Most of the time on the train was spent in locating our bags, telling each other how cute our hats were, and asking when we were going to eat. One thing in all the big cities impressed usg that was all the queer, close-together houses near the railroad tracks. We'd never seen anything like them before, and we couldn't help wondering what kind of people lived there. A little while before we reached the Mason-Dixon Line, Miss Slack told us about it. So pretty soon I yelled, There it is',, and they practically all fell out of the windows looking at it. Unfortunately, what I thought was the Mason-Dixon Line was merely a curbstone. When we got into Washington, it was raining. We went to the Hotel Lafayette right away. And again the cry for food was on our lips. After roast beef and mushrooms, we talked till one, and so to bed. APRIL 7. Edna informed me that I slept with my fist in her eye. More fun for Edna! We all have colds. Who said the South was warm? It's as bad home. We all went to the National Cathedral. The service was an extremely Kneely,' one. Afterwards we went through the crypts and passagewaysg they were rather ghostly and creepy, what with all the candles and silence and tombs, but beautiful. In the afternoon we went to the Corcoran Art Gallery. Most of us didn't appreciate the Modern Art, but we liked the statutes. There was one, especially, that intrigued us. It was the figure of a man clothed only in a hat. Nothing was hidden except the meaning of it all. That night in the Congressional Library the thing that fascinated us most was the mosaic of Minerva, whose feet always point in your direction,,no matter where you are. Most amazing! APRIL S. Still raining! Visited the Zoo. which we all loved. Kay Tucker was very much upset over the hippopotamusg she insisted that he was choking to death, but the guard managed to calm her, it seems it was just a habit with that hippopotamus. Saw the Lincoln Memorial, which is perfectly immense. I always thought it was small. The statute of Lincoln is wonderfulg front face he's stern, but side view he's smiling. The Grave of the Unknown Soldier is beautiful. The inscription is so simple, yet lovely, Known but to God . Une flitty woman mortified us to tears by singing at the soldier on guard, 'fSoldier boy, soldier boy, where are you going?,' Some people have no sense. We took Miss Slack to see Cab Calloway Cshe'd never heard of himj, and she was bored stiff. But he was really neat. APRIL 9. We went through the White House. I liked the State dining room, but I wasn't especially impressed by the rest of it. Helen and Peggy picked pansies there, and Miss Slack had a fit for fear they'd be arrested. Then we went to the Smith- sonian Institute. I liked, best of all, the dresses of the presidents' wives. The smooth- est one was Mrs. Martin Van Beuren in her sweep-the-floor style blue velvet. Oh, to be tall and statuesque, and look queenly in blue velvet! We visited the New Na- tional Museumg I didn't like it, but I hate museums, anyway. The Capitol was perfect. Perhaps it was because of the cute guide we had from Alabama. What's more, he had brown eves! We went into the Senate. but Huey wasn't there. It was funny to watch the Senators, nobody listens to anybody else. VVhile one has the floor, the rest chatter and gabber to each other. This same morning we also saw the 74 THE BLUE AND WHITE Bureau of Printing and Engraving, and the Pan-American Building. By lunch time we were all so tired and cross, it wasn't even funny. Honestly, Miss Slack has more energy than all the rest of us put together. After lunch we pepped up a little, and went up the Washington Monument. Alice and Dot and I walked down the 898 steps. T hat's quite a lot of steps. Tonight Miss Slack had to come in five times to tell us to go to bed. APRIL 10. We have the cutest Spanish waiter, with brown eyes. Edna claims I flirt with him, but I really don't. This morning we went to Mount Vernon. Some of the girls thought it was the best thing we've seen, but I still like the Capitol and the Congressional Library. This afternoon we went to Annapolis. It's a keen place and all the men are good looking. Perhaps it's the uniforms. Why are girls so crazy about uniforms? Then we went to tea at Mrs. Gerry's. Except that one girl mistook the Senator for a butler, everything went well. I'm afraid we all ate a great deal, but it was so good, and we were starved. We're always starved. APRIL 11. Left Washington, the city of cherry blossoms and warmth. The cherry blos- soms were rusty from the rain, and the warmth was nil, but we had a keen time just the same. . ' MAZIE COMERY, '35 BY THEIR SHOES YE SHALL KNOW THEM OULD you like to know an excellent way to amuse yourself when you ride alone on the street car or bus, or wait in the station? Study people's shoes! It amuses me to imagine things about the owners but sometimes the things I see make me sad. Recently I sat on a side seat in the front of a car, and, glancing up the aisle, my eyes were arrested by a large pair of high, brown, thick-soled, working shoes, mottled with white spots. I looked away and tried to imagine how the man was dressed, and how his face looked. I thought, because of the white spots, he might be a painter or a plasterer, wearing white overalls and cap. I thought he might be tall and thin with a tired face. I turned around and found my imagination had functioned quite correctly. This man, however, not only was thin, but gaunt and looked ready for his evening meal, after his hard day's labor. I At the station beside the bench opposite me I noticed some expensive snake-skin pumps. Half the inner side and- heels were of patent leather. One leg was crossed and moved nervously up and down. Then the moving shoe went angrily, but with dignity and self-assurance to the floor. I looked at the owner of such impatience and found. as I expected, a pompous woman, exquisitely gowned, with a grim expression on her face. A woman, I could see, who was not accustomed to wait for others. Presently an equally well-dressed woman bustled up, full of apologies, whose chauffeur gathered up the pile of luggage. On the bus diagonally across from me I noticed a child's tiny black shoes Ccalled ankle-ties. I thinkl swinging gaily back and forth, several inches from the floor. They did not kick the seat in front or try to curl up under her. Ah, I thought, a really charm- ing child. She was, indeed, for she made no disturbance the entire trip. So it is we can pick out the flapper in her high-heeled, light-colored, imitation leather pumpsg the school girl in sensible oxfordsg the farmer in heavy work shoes, the hunter in high-cuts, and the baby in booties.

It is not good form to run gossiping from one table to another unless your best friend. or someone you know, has either got married or com- mitted suicide. Then you'd have something to talk about. 4. Sit erect at the table unless food drops from the fork and you have to lean for- ward to catch it. 5. Eat noiselessly unless drinking soup, then you have something to sputter about.

THE BLUE AND WHITE 77 HISTORY OF THE BLUE AND WHITE HEN told by the editor t.o write a history of the BLUE AND WHITE with a touch of humor, I was a bit doubtful as to the scope of the work. But after examining more than forty back numbers, I was relieved to find that the magnitude of the work was greatly diminished, and so I began compiling from various edit-ions da.ta that llllglltv be of interest to the historians and humorists,' of the class. The first edition of the BLUE AND WVHITE was printed in 1899. The frontispiece was a picture of the school, and the dedication was made to Walter Ballou Jacobs, the prin- cipal. It was bound in a hard blue cloth coverg in fact, it was not until 1929 that the cloth cover was discarded. Perhaps the IHOSI' striking part about it was the absence of personals. Instead, there was a group picture of the graduating class with the class mascot, a teddy bear, in the foreground. Many of the classes wrote a chronicle or class history, and the one that appeared in the first edition is perhaps worthy of quoting here in part. Now it was decreed in the reign of Governor Dyer that the Corporation of learn- ing should enlarge its borders and build a. new edifice on the East Side, which should gather in all choice youth of that precinct. And over it should be placed one Jacob, as ruler, Jacob, a man predest.ined by adop- tion to inst-ruct youths and maidens. Now they garnished the house with steam heaters, registers, electric clocks. and change of air every seven minutes. Now it came to pass that Jacob was mighty proud of his house. ' ' Therefore on the twelfth day of the ninth month he threw open his doors that all the world might see the glory of his housen. fAnd if they could only see it nowlj Then follows a lengthy description of the events of the year. From this one can easily see that there was no lack of wit in the old days. ' The winning essays for the Anthony Medal Contests were always published in the BLUE AND WHITE. And besides winning essays, Hope has turned out many winning teams in athletics. Often the notes took up as many as a dozen pages in the old editions, and we can see how far back the Hope spirit. dates. In various editions we may find syllabuses of geometry theorems, some of which I have recorded here. I , Proposition W. Given a pail of water and a cake of soap, prove that -the school floors are washed only once a year. Proposition 1. If, within the basement of the school, a chicken be given a Turkish bath, describe the kind of soup that will beserved for lunch on the following day. Proposition 2. If two tickets are equal to one right angle, they are complimentary tickets . In 1907, the Foneticrat , a school paper, was printed in the BLUE AND WHITE, de- voted to the dissemination of jokes, honor, bravery and simplified spelling , with the motto- The untruth, part of the truth, and anything but the truth . It is characterized by simplified and easy spelling, and contains such advertise- ments as- Save Your Old Copies Of The Foneticrat They are unexcelled for Blotting Paper I IVe confidently assert that there is no dryer paper in the State . In 191.4 a student wrote a class prophesy in which he discussed his hobby- the study of the habits and customs of animal life especially in its lower forms . He said about them, I made a careful study of the tribe of mice at Hope and found that each vs THE BLUE AND WHITE family reflected, to some extent, the language and character of the room in which it lived. After a thorough study of the main language, which, though broken up into many dialects, and is really quite comprehensible, I found that several weeks before gradua- tion, every year, the elders of the families, or bucks , met in mass meeting in the Hall to decide the fates of the Senior Class . In turn, each mouse rose and gave his prophesy of a certain individual in the class. This was a rather novel way of writing such a paper, and there are others equally amusing. In 1915 a radical change was made in the BLUE AND WHITE. Personals appeared for the first time, as they are today. Previously there had been no pictures with the writeups, and they had not been arranged alphabetically. With this change there was an added interest, and from then on We find many variations occurring both in the material as well as the arrangement of the magazine. In 1926, instead of having only one publication each year there were three-a Fall Number, Spring Number, and the regular Graduation Number. They were nearly the same size as the regular issue, and were almost entirely devoted to literature, poetry, scien- tific and athletic notes. Evidently they were very popular, for they continued until 1930, and we may say that they were an advancement in the value of the BLUE AND WVHITE in that the following June Numbers have been devoted more to literature than pre- viously. . Thus endeth the chronicles of the BLUE AND WHITE as they stand todayq STUART C. SHERIVIAN, '35 WHILE TRYING T0 GO TO SLEEP HYSICALLY fatigued and mentally exhausted, I closed my books and slipped away to bed. My fatigue immediately vanished in the cool, restful suavity of n1y smooth, fresh pillow. My exhausted mind gathered new strength as I pondered over the humble prayer I had just uttered- God grant me strength and courage to do Thy will and to be successful in whatever I may attempt to do . As I breathed in the soothing night air, I thought of the many persons whom I admired and wondered if they, too, had not, at some time uttered this prayer. . Dreaming thus, of success, my mind suddenly wandered to an incident which oc- curred earlier in the day. A gallant young man came up to me and asked to be directed to-I must admit I know not where, for I was overcome by his stalwart figure and dis- tinguished manner. I was so infatuated that I fear I was little help in establishing his destination. Now, perhaps it is the coolness of my pillow, I can think of many tactful things I might have said to make myself appear more gracious. My mind, now influenced by imagination, ambles into the future. I think of the vast number of things I might attempt to do in life and consider them one by one. Al- though one does not have to be great to attain success, there is always, more or less, buried. deep in our hearts the ambition to be a second Jeanne D'Arc or William Shakes- peare. Thus enraptured by the glamour of these imaginations, I slowly drift away, dreaming that I am the best-dressed woman in the land or the first woman president of the United States. ' ALICE E. CALDWELL, '35 THE BLUE AND WHITE 79 A FIRST NIGHT HAD been rehearsing for weeks and weeks. Night after night I had strutted back and forth across that stage declaiming dramatically. I had won the approval of the coach by my ability to swing a feather duster at a poor, defenseless gardener. My make-up was done, my maid's costume on 3 I was all ready for the Great Opportunity- or so I mistakenly thought. The orchestra was wailing softly, the coach, very much excited and very red of face, was bustling around accomplishing exactly nothing. All ready now! Betty and Willie down left! Ssh! The curtains parted with a loud swishg the crowd hushed, and the two children began in squeaky, high voices. Every- thing was progressing smoothly. The telephone and doorbell rang in exactly the right places. So far, no one had forgotten his lines. Now it was time for the butler to enter. Very resplendent in a mauve suit and looking very stiff and unnatural, he started for the center stage. But alas! his foot caught in a rug, he nearly toppled forward, his dignity gone. The crowd roared and the but1er's face was scarlet. Anxiously I waited for my cue. My heart began to pound harder and harder. The palms of my hands were damp, my mouth felt dry and hot. Ah, there it was! As I started across the stage, I realized I couldn't remember what it was I was supposed to say. My heart sank and then someone spoke to me. I answered something, hoping that it was sensible. Before I realized, the curtains closed, and the first part of the great drama was over with no serious consequences. My relief was short-lived as it was not long before the second act began. In this act it was necessary for me to faint. I have never fainted in real life, therefore, to do so on the stage was extremely difficult. However, I began to reel in a typical manner of the very sick. But, as I fell, I miscalculated the distance and struck my head on the corner of the table. Everything turned black before meg red and green flashes of light cut into my consciousness. It was not until very much later that I was told what happened afterwards. The two members of the cast who had rehearsed carrying me out tried to do so, but, as I was really unconscious, I was a dead weight. As they dragged me off, my feet became entangled in some wires, and a floor lamp came crashing down. This so startled the remaining members of the cast that they completely forgot their parts. To climax it all the hero, who was disguised in brown whiskers, could not remove them at the crucial moment. However, he made a brilliant attempt, and one half of them came off. By the time the last curtain rang down we were' left with an hysterical coach, one unconscious maid, one broken floor lamp, and a hero with half a mustache. I am still emphatically vowing that I will never appear in an amateur theatrical again. Doais SANDERS, '35 DER ALTE UND DER ABENDSTERN S war eine schone Mainacht. Hoch am klaren Himmel blinkte ein Abendstern. Unten lag die Stadt noch in der Hitze des Tages, der soeben vergangen war. Ein alter Mann ging langsam den heiszen Biirgersteig entlang. Die Kleider, die er trug, waren alt und fadenscheinig, aber seine Augen waren sehr hell und schienen aus seinem freudli- chen Gesicht wie zwei Sterne. Vor dem Opernhaus blieb er stehen. Jetzt war es ganz men- schenleer, aber zwei Stunden spifter wiirden die Automobile viele Leute in groszer Toi- 80 THE BLUE AND WHITE lette bringen. Heute abend war eine Aulfiihrung von ,,Tannhiiuser . ,,Hatte ich nur das Geldf' dachte der Alte traurig, ,,so wiirde ich auch in die Oper gehenf' Sehnsiichtig stand er einige Minuten da, dann ging er weiter nach Hause. Fast drei Stunden spater sasz er in seinem Stiibchen der kleinen Pension, worin er wohnte. Er sasz in einem Schaukelstuhl am geotfneten Fenster und dachte an die vielen Leute, die jetzt im Opernhaus saszen und ,,Tannhiiuser zuhort-en. Dann dachte er an seine eigene liebe Elisabeth, die jet-zt gestorben war. Vor vielen Jahren waren sie einmal zusammen in die Oper gegangen, um ,,Tannhtiuser zu horen. Sie schwiirmten beide sehr dafur und tagelang sprachen sie iiber nichts als ,,Tannhituser und Wagner. Und jetzt hatte er nur ein schtines Gediichtnis seiner Elisabeth und der Oper. Plotzlich hiirte er aufmerksam das Radio der Strasze gegeniiber zu. ,,Ol du mein holder Abendstern, Wohl griisst' ich innner dich so gern-. So sang die herrliche Stimme. Das Gesicht des Alten leuchtete. .,J a, das war es. Ein Lied aus ,Tann- htiuser' fiir seine Elisabeth, dachte er. Unwillkiirlich hob er die Augen zu dem hellen Abendstern. Derselbe schien griiszer und groszer zu werden, bis endlich er dachte, dasz er seine Elisabeth stattdessen sah. Sie lachelte und lockte ihn. Die Stimme sang weiter. Der Alte blickte wie gebannt, den Abendstern an, und ein herrliches Lzicheln verbreitete sich uber seine Lippen. Die Musik fuhr fort, aber er horte sie nicht mehr. Ein sanftes Liiftchen kiisste sein weiszes Gesicht, aber er ftihlte es nicht. ' Die Stunden vergingen, und der Abendstern ging unter.

DOROTHY RICE, '35 CHILDISH TRICKS THINK almost everyone has some tricks or superstitious held over from childhood and, if you watch closely enough, he will betray himself. I seem to have retained quite a number of them. To enumerate: not stepping on the cracks in the sidewalks, stubbing my toes, going down stairs in a series of hops, playing jacks and thus scraping the skin off my hands, saying God bless me when I sneeze, knocking on Wood, pressing my nose against windows, and reading books in the most uncomfortable positions known to mankind. My pet vice, however, is that ungodly passion for buying penny candy. It creeps up on you just when it has been dormant for a month or so, and you feel sure that it is successfully conquered. First, there is a longing for candy. That is the danger signal. From then on you might as well give in, because you get no kick out of the good sensible candy but want to play round with some gooey mess that reduces you to a state of somewhat sticky but blissful and unholy joy. Unless you have this particular vice, you won't see the pleasure there is in picking out the various messes. It is quite essential that each penny's worth be entirely different. The several kinds of candy include: wintergreen leaves, fudge squares, maple sugar rounds, Boston beans, peppermint patties, old fashioned peanut bars, and the long whips of licorice. From these mentioned here you can easily see the wide variety obtainable for five cents and you would be quite sur- prised, too, to find the number of dignified people who will dig an inquiring hand into your brown bag and withdraw it clutching an especially fine sample of penny candy. MARGARET W1LL1AMs, '35 THE BLUE AND WHITE 81 F Ramblings through Hope Street High School we sing, and of the doings of the inmates therein. Come, thou Muse of Wandering, and be attendant upon us through our rambles. We think that some of our faculty should be on the stage instead of wasting their talents on their stupid pupils. In the hall we discovered Mr. Greene hopping about in excellent imitation of a kangaroo While the victrola needled through Saint Saens' Carnival of the Animals . Coming down the stairs we were somewhat startled to hear loud peals of laughter coming from Room 2. What was the cause of all this merriment? Upon investigation we found that Miss Hall was enacting the part of Vivien for the benefit of the Honor Class in English. Although lacking the red-gold tresses and a few other properties Cviz. Merlin's beard to twine about her neckj, we understand that this portrayal inspired three-tenths of the class so deeply that they later read Tennyson's account of the wily lady for themselves. Suggestion: Why doesn't the faculty produce this in play-form with Miss Hall in the role of Vivien and Mr. Beers Cplus a beardb as an acquiescent Merlin? As we passed through the corridor, we came upon Sheila Cosgrove giving her famous imitation of Miss Slack. And by the way, if you haven't already seen it, put it on your list of musts . It's a wow! Room IR, period 4, was in great commotion because Dorothy Rice had written her Latin comp paper in German Script, causing general distress among the parasites of the class. r In the next room a Geometry class was making hash out of a problem concerning a missing triangle. Miss Collins stepped to the board and with her characteristic Zingo! solved said problem by reductio ad 2il'JSIll'LlIl1llH. CThe general idea being that, if the triangle isn't there, it isn't there.j Then the class pulled one on her, and the last we heard she's still looking for that test which she never gave. During the rush that occurred between classes some two-hundred-pounder stepped on a petite Mademoiselle's toe, causing a loud Ouch!,' from the young lady. Dr. Leon- 82 THE BLUE AND WHITE ard will fix you up , we said. Up one flight and to the right? 'fCheck!,' The doctor hasn't received his M. D. yet, but he has a first aid kit, and he doesn't bite. We met Sherman Davis coming along with a big turkey under his arm-a donation for the Thanksgiving Basket. If the City Fathers wait till Sherman gets into business, perhaps he'll donate the new school. Here we'd like to suggest that the June graduation exercises be held in the amphitheater across the way. And why not hold the band con- certs there, for distance lends enchantment . In 18R Raymond Munde was speaking to the class instead of Miss Slack. He later confided to us that he preferred his own voice to the teacher's. Downstairs in the study hall Mary Cosgrove was receiving hundreds of compliments for her pretty blouse. Ah, but what fools these mortals be! Mary was wearing the top to her new pajamas. Next to her was Julia Ruben staring hard at the Chemistry book. What! Seat changed again, Julia? But Miss Crossley, being very considerate, merely did it so that Julia won't have such a long walk to the office next time she's sent there. Gordon Potter was standing in the corridor upstairs and as we passed, he mumbled something about an extra pencil. We have started to collect cast-off and worn-down pencils for him, and any contribution you care to make will be gratefully appreciated. Speaking of donations and contributions, Sylvia Kniznik is looking for a few extra inches to add to her height. Perhaps Anne Sullivan could spare her a few. Before leaving the school we glanced into the library. There, oh sad to relate! we spied our illustrious English department fast asleep during one of its meetings fMr. Brown leading the snores in his rich, stentorian baritonel. Miss Hall is trying to blame the lassitude upon the fact that the tea served was not tender-leaf tea and therefore did not quicken the emotions. Be it resolved that hereafter the meetings, rather than the emotions, be quickened. And be it also resolved that we cease our ramblings here and go home. THREE RAMBLERS B I THE CIRCUS ESTERDAY it was nothing but an empty lot. Today it is a place unrivalled in its bizarre, blatant, yes, even unholy qualities. When one enters the circus grounds, he feels lost in a world apart. The tents have sprung up like mushrooms all about. In one is the fortune teller, in another, the pathetic-looking freaks, in still another, the idly scratching chimpanzees and restlessly pacing lions. Then, drawn irresistibly into the main stream of the crowd, one enters the Big Top . Immediately he is struck by a mixed odor of horses, leather, and the hot, sultry air of the tent. Pandemonium reigns supreme, the hoarse cry of human voices, the whinny of the zebras, all on the discordant background of sound that is the band. There, pushed and jostled about amidst a crowd of gaping rubes and middle-aged business men having their yearly filing at being a kid again, one sees the artificially glam- orous, bespangled lady on the flying trapeze, the cruel visaged, waxed moustached ring- leader, the crazily buifooning clown who one likes to suppose is really a tragic figure, and all the rest that goes to make up that unforgettable day at the circus. ROBERT COMERY, '36 THE BLUE AND WHITE 83 MY KID BROTHER ERRY-the object of my mother's love, my fatherls hopes, and my-no, not affec- tions, whatever I have in my hand to throw at him. Poor Jerry, picked on from his infancy by four older sisters-a defense system worked out to prevent mother love from making a complete sissy of him. I, being all of four years his senior, take the greatest of pleasure in teasing him- and when I get angry, I always remind him that he is still in the adolescent period-a remark which never fails to get his goat g whereupon I make a mad dash for the dining room, and circle the table, because that's practically the only place where I know he can't get me. Not that I am afraid that he will take advantage of my feminine fragility, but I like to feel safe. My portrayal of Jerry is malicious and unfair. I admit it! But having always cher- ished the idea of having an older brother, and having been stuck with three older sisters and one kid brother, I feel almost justified in revolting. , . To others, Jerry is the ideal boy. He manages, and I can't figure how, to be elected president of his class, captain of the football, hockey, and baseball teams, and brings home straight A report cards. He is an excellent swimmer, and pretty good tennis player. Having been brought up in virtually a family of females, we were pleasantly surprised, because nothing much was expected of him. Besides all his other accomplishments, we've discovered that our Jerry is quite a Don Juan. His affair of the heart just now is a girl named Helen. I gathered that much from his telephone conversations. All the little girls on our street are heart-broken. How- ever, he is quite a fickle young man, this is episode number ten and still going strong. Just at present he is a continual source of aggravation to my mother, for his trousers are outgrown even before they're worn out, and his pajamas present the same problem. That's funny, too, because we always thought he'd be a shrimp,', and in a family of beanpoles like ours, it wouldn't have been so amusing. At the rate he's going, he'll reach six feet, at least. CI like tall menlj He even has big feet, and it seems as though he were running a race with my fat-her. He runs a race with Dad every morning, too, to see who can get the best necktie first. His taste in literature is deplorable! We find wild and woolly West stories all over the house, but I agree with him in his admiration for Popeye , Jerry resented my writing a story about him, but I soothed him by saying that he was my kid brother, and as kid brothers go, he was a good kid -so, he magnani- mously gave his consent for me to publish my masterpiece. CPD, but not before I gave him a quarter to spend at the Carnival, thus bringing to my mind the old saying that-- When he was good, he was very, very good But when he was bad he was horrid!

' S4 THE BLUE AND WHITE HIS pillar fcolumn to youj, which is not to be lain upon, is dedicated to all the blades broken on various portions of the anatomy of different members of the fencing team during their arduous campaign in unexpectedly winning the State Championship. Hope! Rah! Rah! and all that sort of rot. It is also dedicated to those three people who bought tickets to the Junior Prom, and to the economical fellows who save on the family laundry bill by wearing black shirts. Maybe it's a Fascist movement gCl'llllll3-tlllg in our midst, but then again, maybe it isn't. However, this is all getting us nowhere in a huge hurry, so, barring accident at the hand of the editor, you will unfortunately receive these unburdenings of our soul, which we feel duly authorized to present, having just read The School For Scandal , intact. The little story which we are about to narrate is entitled The Mystery of the Empty Elevatoru or Through the Lafayette Hotel With Gun and Camera . As our story opens, all is quiet on the third story corridor of the Lafayette Hotel, Washington, D. C. It is 10 P. M. or thereabouts, and Miss Slack is going her appointed rounds to see that all the little girls are tucked safely 'twixt the sheets. She espies the vertical trolley car minus its motorman. Aha! I smell a herring. She hears voices in a room down the hall whither she makes her way. Arriving there, she throws open the door with that I mean business air. The culprit, who is indeed afcuxniing fiend, has hidden behind said door, but our heroine is not to be so foiled.

' V LEE DANIELS, '36 Bois COMERY, '36 WHEN I BECAME A POET I Y English teacher in junior high school was responsible for my first endeavor in the line of poetry. A newspaper in town offered a prize of one dollar each week for the best poem submitted by a student. I was not much of a student , but I was assigned one day to write a poem suitable for competition. Arriving home after school, I immediately sat down prepared to give birth to the Sonnet of the centuryu. After an hour of staring at the ceiling, making criss-crosses on my paper, and drinking about ten glasses of water, my hopes of ever becoming a poet slowly dwindled. I started to write a poem about birds and flowers, and moons and Junes, but decided it was too effeminate, so it was relegated to my now full waste basket. Then I wrote one about baseball, which I thought was not very good, but which had to be done because I was determined not to waste any more of my time by staying in the house. At dinner that night I exhibited the fruits of my labor to my family. My father read it through once to himself, and then read it aloud to the rest of the family. My younger brother and sister laughed, but my mother seemed very well pleased. My father made a speech of congratulation and wished me success in my advance into the literary world. He said that my poem was very good, and should easily win the prize. The next morning I mailed my masterpiece to the newspaper, and waited eagerly for the Sunday edition. I told all my friends to watch for it, too, for I was sure my poem was to be printed. Sunday came, the paper cameg and my friends came to ask me where my poem was. We scanned every page of the paper eagerly, but no poem could we find. The truth suddenly dawned on me. After all my efforts, my work was not published! I was prepared to write an indignant letter to the editor, reprimanding him for not recognizing true genius when he saw it. My father stopped this, however, by telling me that it had probably been lost in the mails. . ' THoMAs IVIEEHAN, '35 86 'THE BLUE AND WHITE ON WALKING IN THE RAIN HEY say Greta Garbo likes to walk in the rain, in fact, I believe it was she who originated the practice. I shall tell you of my experience Walking in such weather, and you are free to draw your own conclusions about how I feel. During ,our last vacation the weather was justtoo ducky . After I had tried passing the days reading and knitting, I decided to venture forth into the weather, first donning suitable clothing, namely an old trench coat, slouch hat, and the ever faithful rubbers. Despite objections from Mother, I started out Garbo fashion, hands thrust in pockets. The rain beat hard and still harder upon me. It was necessary to lower my head 3 consequently I bumped into several people, one of whom looked at me rather queerly. She was probably wondering what inane idea had prompted my trudging aim- lessly along a city street in such a downpour. VVater poured off the end of my nose, my eyes were almost blinded. As I was trying to imagine how much good the rain water would do to my complexion, I was brought back to reality by the feel of something cold running down the back of my neck. I reached cautiously around and found, much to my chagrin that my hair had become wet and was dripping down into my collar. Next, my ankles began feeling queer, and my shoes were extremely wet. I looked down at my feet and in doing so found that my trench coat was dripping off onto my skirt. I trudged on, determined not to be the proverbial cream puff , and trying to turnmy thoughts to pleasant things. I was succeeding fairly well, I thought, when I was disturbed by a burst of masculine laughter. I glanced up and was confronted by 1ny brother, who greeted me in this fashion, Holy'smoke, Helen, where do you think you're going? You look like a drowned ratn. Alas, cruel world, how easily our illusions are shattered! I crept home to my room to die, figuratively speaking. Fortunately I encountered no one on my return home, so I hastily tore off my drenched clothes. I took them all down to the furnace room, where I hung each item upon a line to dry-shoes included. The rest of the afternoon was spent in drying my hair and doing my nails-an occupation that never fails to soothe my ruffled spirits. HELEN Baccorr, '35 SOME AMUSING SUPERSTITIONS HE object of this not too lengthy discourse is not merely to enumerate a host of the ordinary beliefs, but to portray a vivid picture of the childishness of a particular class of individuals. Jack Tars regard the briny deep as a mistress and we all fol- low a thousand and one fancies, but the athlete has a code all his own. When our modern Hercules ventures forth to do or die for dear old Hope Street, he not only dons the rather dusty and moth-eaten blue and white regalia but usually secretes on his person his most prized 'relic of a previous encounter. A baseball cap worn under a football hehnet, a pair of lucky socks, or as was the case on our own diminutive eleven, a pair of black-and-white striped shorts are only a few of the widely varied mascots . Our young hero doesn't overburden himself with these trinkets for show, he's too smart for that and he generally registers intense embarrassment when discovered. THE BLUE AND WHITE 87 One wonders, oftentimes, why our contestants appear as slack and unshaven as Ant- arctic explorers. This conventional male adormnent didn't just happen to be thereg it was intended to be there, in fact, it was carefully groomed for the occasion. Even the most lowly sophomore shows a neglected monthly harvesting of peach fuzz and proud- ly asserts that he has done his best. Maybe it's a psychological reason and our imitation of brother pithacanthropus erectus is intended to strike fear into the hearts of the enemy. A close inspection of a track man reveals that his once white shorts are usually filthy although the rest of the uniform may be spotless. Now in the eyes of the wearer it would be forcing lemon juice in the smile of Luck even to rinse this rather necessary part of equipment. This rather minor detail may be taken care of on the following day in order that sufficient amount of dirt may collect for the next public performance. A rivalry has sprung up among the members of our teams in which all endeavor to ap- proach the limit of coal black. Perhaps the eccentricities of these boys may seem silly and absurd to the reader, and I'll admit that they do sound rather flimsy and weak on the surface, but let us consider how they effect the subject of our interests. A luckpiece, whether it be a valuable prize or some ragged medallion, is essentially the same and tends to give confidence. The tem- perament of a runner is generally conceded to be uneven and this confidence materially aids his performance. You judge an athlete by his accomplishments and, when he is suc- cessful, it is impossible for you to refute his beliefs. In spite of ridicule and defeat, these active competitors in our rather eifeminate civilization will continue their solemn ritual. NrcHoLAs CARR, '35 DARK NIGHT ICKLY green, yellow glow, heavy clouds, oppressive atmosphere, and faint thunder through the trees! Rain had threatened for hours. The air was liquidg the sky, dark, and my spirits low. I was alone in an ancient house which spoke gently to me, and I tried to be brave. Old houses speak in a dreadful way. All is silent, the silence of death, the silence of a buried city, of a dark cavern. During this intense silence the old house spoke, not out loud, but as a silent voice in my brain. My hair tingled, and my legs grew numb. I refused to be frightenedg I placed my chair in a corner of the room, lighted a small fire in the fireplace, and tried to read. I soon fell asleepg while I was asleep, something pressed against my heart, harder and harder, until I could hardly breathe. My heart was stoppingg I was dying. Madly I dashed from the chair. What a fool-I had been dreaming! Gasping for breath, exhausted and terrified, I slowly looked around the room. The last embers of the fire died. I stood trembling, rooted to the floor in the darkness. Something passed before me in the blackness. A cold breeze brushed my face, and I turned to ice. I tried to move but I couldn't, while out of the dark came a dirty mass of white, floating, descending on me. Dormant, I collapsed to the floor and remembered no more. - Someone had left the furnace door open, so I suppose the coal gas fumes got me. 5 g VCHARLES CLEGG, '35 lddbk U 88- THE BLUE AND WHITE LE MEUNIER, 'SON FILS, ET L'ANE Une E tude .

But in recent years, yawning has sprung up as a close rival, due, perhaps, to the fact that it is inexpensive, and does not require so much energy, space, or ambition as baseball. Although people of all ages enjoy it, yawning is most prevalent in schools, except during the lunch period. But it is abused greatly 5 most students seem to think that'all you have to do is open your mouth and groan loudly. This idea is wrong, yawning is an art, and should be considered as such. It is easy to yawn well, once you get the hang of it, and a good yawner is always more pleasing to look at than a poor one. My idea would be to have a course in correct yawning in the schools. To promote this endeavor, I am writing a list of four of the most popular yawns used at present. A 1. The polite yawn. Y This and the next are the only ones which girls can use and still appear ladylike. To begin it, flutter your eyelids in a bored, Greta Garbo manner, put the tips of the first three fingers of the right hand over your mouth, emit a sigh, close your mouth slowly, and finish with a gentle excuse men. Many people do this comparatively well until they start to close their mouth. Then they spoil the effect by snapping it shut with a quick, jerky mogon. To preserve the true rhythm of the yawn you should follow it through to the en . 2. The permanent gape. This comes automatically to most pupils between 2 and 2:30 in the afternoon. The mouth drops open, the eyes take on a glazed expression, and the head begins nodding. This is a very unsatisfactory yawn, having no definite beginning or end, yawns, while not hurried, should have a certain military precision. 3. The informal yawn. This is designed especially for tired business men. You open your mouth Wide, stick your fist in it, close your mouth slowly fhaving, of course, removed the iistj, throw your arms straight out at right angles in a spread eagle fashion, and, lowering your arms, proceed Qin imaginationj to wash your face vigorously with your hands, blowing gustily as you do so. l 90 THE BLUE AND WHITE 4. The alligator yawn. This is so called because, when the yawner attains his greatest range, the roof of his mouth appears not unlike an alligator's. This is the most intricate yawn of the four, and although many have tried it, few have performed it successfully. In fact, I have seen it done perfectly only once, then the yawner wore such an expression of utter con- tentment that it appeared to be Well worth his years of hard labor. It was two years ago, when the teachers' desks in the small recitation rooms were almost on top of those of the pupils. Entering the classroom at the beginning of the period, I was preparing to make my sweeping, dignified Way to my seat, when 1ny attention was caught by a foot which jutted into the aisle. -Looking up at the possessor of the foot, I perceived him in the midst of one of the most exquisite yawns which I have ever witnessed. He was stretched out to twice his usual length, his head was resting on the desk behind him, his mouth was open like the entrance to a tunnel, his eyes were squeezed so tightly shut that the eyelashes were hidden, and he had one hand behind his head the way Steerforth in David Copperfield did when he was asleep. He was so lost in the reckless abandon of his yawn that he was unaware of my pres- ence. I became engrossed in watching his ACl3,l11,S apple, which was bobbing up and down like a ,cork on a rough seag thus I was unprepared for the finale. He shot his left fist into my eye with the force of a sledge hammer, and his right ist into a vase of Persian lilacs which was on the teacher's desk. As the vase crashed to the floor, he shut his mouth, defiated his lungs, opened his eyes, and looked around with a startled expression. Thus ended a perfect yawn. I've been yawning ever since I started to write this composition, I guess I'll stop. SHEILA K.

THE BLUE AND WHITE 91 CAUGHT SHORT HE relative advantages and disadvantages of being either uncomfortably short or inconveniently tall are both many and varied. Since I have never been tall in any sense of the word, my observations are restricted mainly to those of one whose height scarcely reaches the five foot line. It is my good fortune to have grown proportionately. If? ever I have cause for reflection, if ever I become envious of some of my more fortunate sisters who measure up more admir- ably against a six foot shoulder, I console myself with the fact that at least I have been spared t-he ignominy of growing to the width of a five-foot-eighter and of having only a four-foot-eleven and one-half inch height, although, perhaps, such a well padded surface would serve a needy purpose. At a great institution of learning such as ours, the majority of students have already attained an adult height. Thus, they cannot be expected to see what is not in their exact line of visiong aside from the fact that I am continually being tripped over, I am also often recipient of unprovoked elbow shovings. From this, you would gather that I am continually on the defensive. However, this is not the case. My many experiences have taught me that the quickest method of settling such encount- ers is by apologizing for having been bumped into and then making a hasty exit. This may sound to you rather Caspar Milquetoast-y, but you, reader, have never encoun- tered the glassy stare that a six footer deigns to focus on a 'fhalf-pint who has had the nerve to be in his way! However cruel this may sound, it has its advantages. When the bell announcing lunch peals forth, and I reach the corridor, whatever further motion occurs on my part is not of my own volition. The crowd that follows and packs in on all sides provides the power, and I am carried along by its compelling force. I do not- blame my fellow students for their haste. The incentive is a strong one. The one thing that irks me is the street car situation. It would be natural to sup- pose that, since school children comprise so much of its business, the United Electric Railway Company would at least condescend to lengthen the leather support straps. It's rather embarrassing to have to stand tiptoe to reach one, and, when the car swerves rapidly, to pivot and feel my feet lifted almost completely off the floor. One consolation, however, is that my age will always be more or less a matter of speculation. I have al- ready attained the age of seventeen years and many times am mistaken for a fourteen year old. If I grow proportionately, I shall be able to be very vague about it, even at the ripe old age of sixty, in the presence of eligible young men of fifty or thereabouts, for my size will be in my favor! SYLVIA ,KNIZNIIi, '35 DINNER , HE baronial feast was spread. The massive oaken table fairly groaned beneath the weight of the food. The Hickering shadows from t.he torches lurking in the deep recesses of the great hall cast a feeling of unreality about the place. The huge pine knots blazing on the hearth cheered t-he hearts of the newly returned warriors con- templating their repast. Here and there kitchen boys flitted about bearing great platters of venison, pheasant on a background of burning brandy, stupendous bowls of steaming, savory Yorkshire pudding. Glittering chalices were heaped high with tempting fruits. At every place was set a brimming flagon of nut brown ale, The baronial board was prepared to be reveled at in that spirit- of camaraderie andlustily sung sagas of the Dark Ages. .

Now signing off-the Voice of the Annex who has tried to bring to you some of the dirt that is hidden away in our dustless corridors. ARDELLE LONGFELLOW TECHNIQUE LOF DROPPING A VANITY CASE HE dropping of a vanity case is the modern version of dropping a handkerchief. It seems to be the only Held in which the worldhas not advanced. We have pro- gressed from the horse and buggy to the automobile, but each is a means of trans- portation. We have progressed from kerosene lamps to electric bulbs, but each is a means of lighting. So, though a vanity case has been substituted for a handkerchief, it still furnishes a means of meeting one's True Love. What will the girl of the future drop? A rocket gun? A radio belt? However, more convenient articles, such as a book or pencil while in school, or a glove or parcel on the street car, may be substituted to fit the occasion. When using a book in school, one should, preferably, choose one filled with miscellaneous small papers. The advantage of this is that it takes longer to pick up seven to nineteen papers Q number ranging according to preferencej than to retrieve one book, thus creating time for con- versation about the weather or some other topic of universal interest. When one is on a street car, an excellent excuse is available in the swaying of said car. However, one should use discretion in selecting the object to 'fall . 'For instance, a dime, because of its dimensions and natural ability to lodge in such places as behind pipes, in floor cracks, and under people's feet, is an annoying selection. And may I ad- monish all pupils eager to learn the art not to drop a pocketbook, if their stop is the next one. A firm clasp not yet having been produced Cunless one has the audacity to own a safe zipper bagj, the result is usually disastrous. The amateur dropper can always be distinguished from the veteran. If a beginner, one should not make one's initial performance in public. Instead, one should assume various sitting and standing positions, shifting one's book or bag about, in order to dis- cover its most innocent and unassuming angles. One should practice-best results are obtained in front of a mirror-to overcome the look of consternation which almost invari- ably covers the countenance before the object leaps into space. The veteran usually makes an attempt, however feeble, to retrieve the article in question herself, the rank amateur pretends not to have noticed said article fall. This last mentioned action is probably the greatest error committed by the newly initiated. The rules may be condensed or altered to suit the individual taste. And remember, oh, you whose misfortune it has been to be forced to pick up your own umbrella on the first attempt, the ,tricks that were good enough for Grandma are good enough for you! , HELEN GILL, '35 94 THE BLUE AND WHITE CLASS PROPHECY URPRISING, wasn't it? You had almost forgotten you'd ever gone to a High School when there came an invitation to the convention and you became so anxious to find out what had become of all your schoolmates that you sent off an affirmative reply almost before you'd consulted your calendar. Mazie Comery, El Stoddard, and Kay Tucker, all now accomplished writers, agreed. We decided to return to.Providence. by motor, and Saturday found us in that city, driving down Westminster Street. Wait- what was that sign? The one in the Industrial Trust Building-Ballard, Kenyon, Semon- off, and Guy-Attorneys-at-Law. How surprising-Normie Guy, a lawyer? Well, stranger things have happened. On arriving at the hotel, we were visited by Edna Murphy and Claire Sullivan, delegated as the committee-on-'good-will-at-Alumni-Convention-of-Hope Street High School. Not only were they bubbling over with mirth and covered with huge ribbons bearing their respective titles, but what news they had! It seems that Dorothy Rice and Bobbie Gilbert- were now established in their own laboratory, but Stuart Sherman was hurrying back from his trip abroad, where he'd done significant work in paleontology. He had also seen Charles Griffith and Francis Gainey, who were still building bridges in Africa. Finally bundling off our good-will spirits , we were just beginning to enjoy the quiet when in burst Anne Sullivan and Barbara Henry, repre- senting the Providence Journal and followed by a batch of so-called ladies of leisure . Jean Massey and Sheila Cosgrove were both married, but both cast longing glances in the direction of my lovely ostrich-feathered evening cape, CI do admit that it slightly resembles a fanj which reminded them of their High School ambition of becoming fan dancers. Bob Scowcroft and David Evans had charge of the arrangements and for the occa- sion they had called on several successful secretaries from the class to do most of the corresponding. Maggie Williams, Lucile Bowers, Dot Gardner, Kay Sullivan, Margaret Hanley, and many others had lent their valuable time to the occasion. Undoubtedly, it would be a grand convention! Entertainment, Bob promised galore. Too bad that Eleanor Knasin and Gladys Mulcahey were still concert touring, but there were Virginia O'Neill and Barbara O'Reilly, with their lovely popular rhythmsg la piece de resistance would be the reproduction of the Senior Play, with exactly the same cast. Mary Brooks had promised to arrange her personal appearance tour with the M. G. M. studios so that she could be in Providence for this date, and Bill Cook was resting between engagements on Broadway. But these were all the luncheon program features. The evening would be spent in dancing, dining, and getting together with old friends, not seen in fifteen years. Before we realized it, the afternoon was over. Jane Stratton, Mildred Gigger, and Dorothy Holdsworth had not been willing to let us go. We were such good listeners and they were so attached to their pets. Mildred was devoted to the care of blind firebugsg Jane was running a trained flea circus 3 and Dorothy had a home for dogs. But Hilda Thomas and Marjorie Tierney literally dragged us away for a preview of the new hash- slinging establishment with all modern improvements fincluding the hashj. While we were dressing for the evening, we were nearly frightened out of our wits when we saw our door stealthily swinging open and a face peering at us. It was only Louise Lyon, who'd started out to write the great American novel but instead had become a nurse at the Rhode Island Hospital. She was accompanied by Miss Rita Barchi, a very capable psychiatrist and Miss Barbara Geoghegan, her co-worker, so we resignedly sat down to some more chatting, this time hospital-Way. Ray Bryan was becoming more and more renowned as a doctorer-up of rapier thrusts Cplus other less fascinating ailmentsl and -Hubert Higgins and Sheldon Jensky were still Cdespite beconiingly grayed templesj THE BLUE AND WHITE 95 playing havoc with the ladies' hearts, only this time it was steady Nurses' hearts that were affected and it was Rosemary Shanley's task as head nurse to keep things well in order. Before we realized it, the evening had come and was almost- gone. Ernie Rylander and Louis Lovejoy had both been very obliging about signing baseballs, and what excite- ment there had been when Frances Day and Arlene Pickett had landed atop the hotel in their gyroplane. Alice Caldwell was inspired to sketch them as they walked into the ball- room, and Ruth Rankine promised to put us all in her next novel. But we didn't- take her seriously, for we were all in such a generous mood that, although the twins were already three years old, Bob Clarke was still handing out cigars. We were certain we should never reach New York in time, till Ted Clarke offered to pilot us in his Model T plane. Strange it seemed to be in the big city again. It gave one a taste of the tleetness of time when he saw his friends, who only yesterday were throwing chalk at unsuspecting backs, now grown and responsible citizens. Ah, me! . SYLVIA ITNIZNIK, '35 ON HOARDING THINGS - FTER carefully tracing my ancestry, I cannot find an ounce of Scotch blood in my veins. I am, therefore, at a loss to explain this strange malady which has complete possession of me. Some people call it hoarding, but I prefer to say collecting. I ac- quired this gentle art while at a very tender age when I stored up my bread crusts under the rim of my plate. This, of course, was an unpopular occupation with my parents, and I was forced to resign the practice to indulge in something equally exciting until later on in my whirling career as a collector. As I grew older, the spark was fanned into a burst of activity when I became an ardent movie-goer. Movie magazines were bought and saved for a rainy day when I would have time to cut out the pictures. These pictures would, in turn, be pasted into a huge scrapbook. I finally had so many scrapbooks in my room it was nearly impossible to walk more than a foot without stumbling over one. My favorites' photographs adorned my walls, dresser, and desk. When this brainstorm eventually left, everyone in the family drew a deep sigh of relief. The last was a real art, that of gathering newspaper clippings about my favorite athletes and the games in which they participated. This I found slightly more difficult than anything I had thus far attempted. One must be able to judge precisely the correct moment for the removal of the article. If you are too quick, you are sure to find someone who has not yet read that section g if you wait- too long, the paper will have disappeared, and you find that the choisest bit of news has escaped you forever. Periodica.lly my mother steals into the privacy of my bedroom and carries away, little by little, many of my beloved treasures. I usually don't discover my loss until months later, at which time quite a scene is stirred up. Little or no attention is paid to these outbursts, so I simply start again with renewed energy to build up another really ine collection. BEULAH TINGLEY, '35 96 THE BLUE AND WHITE RETRIBUTION HE pent-up forces of nature unleashed themselves and wreaked havoc on the coun- tryside. The wind and rain lashed the trees and telephone poles. Wires came down as did the poles themselves. The thunder pealed its challenge across the heavens as the lightning flashed and crackled. Back from the road on a lonely, barrenistretch of country, loomed a black hulk. On its high iron gate was inscribed Rockland State Penitentiary . High up in a tower, a guard, holding a rifle, peered at the enclosed yard. In a dimly lighted cell in the death house sat John Knowles, his head huddled forward on his arms. Beside him sat a prison chaplain, intoning scriptures in a dry voice. This man had but four hours to live. He was a criminal, a killer, rotten to the core. As he huddled, waiting for death, he thought of his fiendish work. He thought of how he had slain Benny the Rat . He had been sen- tenced to hang within three months. His cell had been on the floor below. He had bribed a turnkey to supply him with a gun and had arranged for his pals to meet him with an auto near the gates. He had made a mad rush to the gate, slaying two guards on his way. Then, forcing another, at the point of his gun, to open the gate, he killed him cold- bloodedly. From there he had jumped into the Waiting car and fled by the deserted road. On that lonely trail, he had stretched a line of copper wire between two staunch oaks. It was a horseshoe curve across which the wire was stretched. As the pursuers came after him around the curve, at breakneck speed, the wire would smash the motor to pieces and so end pursuit. But his pursuers had not followed him that way. They had gone around on a state road. They had met him as he was coming out of the trail. He had surrendered and after a short trial had been sentenced to hang the following midnight. It was eight o'clock as John Knowles huddled in his cell. But four more hours until death. A spark of hope sprang up in his breast. Maybe his pals higher up would save him. Maybe they'd get him a reprieve for at least time enough to see his wife. Well, come to think of it, he had not let the guards see their beloved ones before he killed them. As his end came near, he sat there, thinking, hoping. In the state capitol, a matter of about twenty miles away, there was a conference inthe governor's ofiice. True to Knowles' expectations, his pals were pleading with the governor. They pleaded, exhorted, threatened, cajoled until the governor said, '.'All right, I'll grant him another trial. There are some facts which need reviewing. What time is it? There's an hour and a half before the deadline . came the eager response. The governor called Central and asked to be connected with the State Penitentiary. The answer came clear and distinct, Sorry, all the lines from here to the penitentiary are downg the storm, y'know. Cold sweat broke out on the governor's face. He swiveled on his chair and barked into a receiver, Send Trooper Smith up, right away . The officer stood before the governor almost immediately. Deliver this to the warden of the Rockland State Penitentiary as fast as you can. It's a matter of life and death. Use that trail off the State Roady it's shorter . In the death house, John Knowles waited for a pardon which was coming, yet did not comeg for, as the trooper swept about a horseshoe curve on a lonely trail on which a man had attempted to flee, he was hurled from his cycle by a strong line of copper wire stretched across the road. I SAMUEL IKOLODNEY, '36 THE BLUE AND WHITE 97 THE CHERRY TREE LONE in New York! Free for a whole day to explore the mysteries of the w0rld's most enchanting city! Rae dressed gaily and stepped into the April sunshine, to saunter up Fifth Avenue. Her eyes drank in everything, as a bee takes pollen from a Hower. Passers-by turned to look at her, struck by her freshness, her youth, and her air of eagerness. Rae returned their gaze with interest, absorbing them in every detail. There wasn't a single familiar face, and she was glad. At home everywhere she turned there was someone who knew her tragic story, always someone who looked at her with the pity, which she had learned to despise. When she came to St. Patrick's Cathedral, she stopped, struck by its magnificence. The beauty of the church brought to her mind the jade room at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. She would go there to see the beauty of which she had read. She walked briskly now, and soon reached the museum. Once inside, she went directly to the jade room, as the attendant had di- rected. No one was there, so she could gaze rapturously at the beauties before her, un- disturbed. She wandered from case to case, filled with ancient carved jade in all colors and forms, trying to conceive the people who had put their whole lives and souls into a minute piece of jade, to make it a thing of beauty to live forever. At last, she came to the case containing what she had wished to see. These were miniature trees, carved exquisitely, with buds, leaves and blossoms so real that she could sense the softness of the petals. Surpassing them all was the Japanese cherry tree in full bloom. She looked at it in wordless ecstasy, taken out of herself into another world. She heard someone come in, softly, as though entering a sanctuary. The spell was broken, she moved to another case. The other occupant went immediately to the cherry tree, and Rae saw that he was a Japanese. He raised his eyes and caught her gaze. You, too, admire the cherry tree? he said in perfect English. Oh, yes, I've dreamed of seeing it and now- she paused, there were no words to express her feelings. I know , he smiled, it makes me feel that and more. Whenever I am troubled or uncertain. I come here to find the beauty and peace which is so lacking in the world today. To see this tree makes one feel that if another can make such beauty, an ordinary man should be able to do the little required of him. If one could leave something such as this behind him, his life would not be in vain. But duty is the master of us all, Beauty, for the few, made to give strength to the slaves of Duty . Then he bowed and left Rae puzzling over the hidden meaning in his words. That night, reading the paper, her eyes fell on the notice: Japanese heir commits suicide to avert scandal . He had died the death of an honorable Japanese gentleman, and the cherry tree in America had given him strength for his duty. MARY E. HHYNES, '35 MIND OVER WATER N that particular day in summer, the lake seemed to me to have an especially dis- agreeable air, I was valiantly striving to balance a long canoe on my shoulders and carry it down to the waterfront. This was a preparatory step to passing one of the last tests for the Honor Badge in canoeing. The waterfront instructor had stated that I must first take the canoe from the rack, unaided, and then place it in the water. I managed to complete this initial step without too much difficulty, that is unless a pair of skinned shoulders could be classed in that 98 THE BLUE AND WHITE' category. The next requirement was not so easily dispensed with, however, I was to paddle my craft out into the middle of the choppy lake, tip it over, fill it with water, climb in again without sinking it, empty the water, and then paddle the canoe back again to the landing. The whole affair would not have seemed so distasteful if I hadn't been required to be fully dressed. Reluctantly I paddled my frail boat over the cold, wet waves, all the time wondering why, in the name of the hidden sun, I had ever chosen to go out for a badge connected with such a distasteful' liquid as water. VVhen I had exhausted every possible excuse for not commencing the procedure, I stood up in the middle of the tippy craftg then I drew a deep breath, leaped high in the air, and came down on the edge of the canoe's gunwhale. This semi-acrobatic stunt served the double purpose of throwing me into the lake and filling the boat with water. I then underwent a never-to-be-forgotten tortureg when I hit the cold, gray surface of the lake, tiny, little, icy streams of liquid trickled through my soggy garments and ran chill-like fingers over my shivering body. When I was finally able to raise my head above water, I observed that my paddle had added to my worries by drifting a few hundred yards away. Encumbered as I was by my leaden, soggy clothes, it required quite a little while to retrieve this extremely important implement and catch up with my leisurely drifting canoe. The next procedure was gingerly to manoeuvre my miserable body into the boat without sinking 5 I was then supposed to kick my feet up and down until all the water was once again back where it belonged. As I fioated on the surface of my ow11 little man-made pond with an icy wind adding to my miseries, many thoughts passed through my water-logged mind, principal among them was the sage observation, What fools these mortals be . , NORLIAN L. GUY, JR., '35 HUMAN NATURE IN A DOG N every man's heart there is a place for some animal which he has either owned or known well. Because a dog cannot speak is no reason to call him a dumb animal. and treat him as such. During the past two years, I have become quite well ac- quainted with a small, yellow and white mongrel. In his breeding, there seems to be a predominant shading of terrier. The size of his body, however, does not compare with the depth and width of his heart. It rightfully belongs to an elephant. Gip's emotions are clear and human. When his mistress leaves him for a few days, he refuses to eat and spends most of his time brooding in a corner. But when she returns, his entire body vibrates from the vigorous tail wagging. He prances merrily and kisses eagerly. When returning from play, he barks at the door, but never does he cross the threshold until he is asked to do so. Once inside, he acts like a perfect gentleman. Un- fortunately, when outdoors, he has a rather enlarged conception of himself, and chooses only the largest dogs with whom to fight. That is not an unnatural complex though, for so many people have confidence in Gip that he has confidence in himself. He is not a protege in the field of tricks, but he is a talented singer. Much to the amusement of all, he throws his head in the air, and emits long, rhythmic wails. Jiffy, often called Elmer, is not my dog, so you see this fondness is not one of a mistress for her pet, but of a two-footed friend for a four-footed friend. ANNE IVIASON, '35 - THE BLUE AND WHITE 99 THE GALVANIZED CORPSE NGELA whistled to Pym, her scottie, and started through the neat rows of vege- tables, which were her father's pride, to reach the meadow and the dark pinegrove beyond. Her favorite seat on these hot summer days was the cool branches of the biggest pine in the heart of the grove, and the knowledge that she was trespassing on the property of a fiery neighbor made this hidea.way all the more alluring. Here, safely ensconced among the sheltering branches, she read lurid tales of murder and mystery. Her latest acquisition was The Gout of Blood , which she drew from a squirrel hole half full of books enclosed in glaring wrappers. She chuckled to herself when she thought of the book her mother had given her to read: Sussy Statler's Adventures in Saylesvillen, or something to that effect. Angela was deeply absorbed in the thirteenth murder when a growl from Pym made her glance up. She heard the crackling of twigs and looked quickly in the direction indi- cated by the Scottie's quivering nose. A man was creeping stealthily through the t.rees. looking furtively from side to side. Angela held her breath until he disappeared, and then she scrambled down from the tree. She called softly to Pym, but he was nowhere in sight. She heard the soft footfalls of the man returning, and she flattened herself against the tree waiting for him to pass. Then curiosity overcame her fear, and she ran towards the river. Suddenly she- found herself standing in the backyard of a large house beside a hole which greatly resembled a freshly dug grave. She called frantically for Pym and raced home across the meadow as fast as she could go. She burst- in upon her family, stumbled over her brotherls extended legs, and made a beautiful forced landing on a rubber frog, which exploded forthwith. Everybody maintained a discreet silence. In back of the grave a freshly dug pinegrove , she gasped excitedly. Really , remarked her brother languidly, did you see any with purple beards? What is the matter, child? demanded her mother after calm was restored. There's a grave in Mr. Spencer's yard , explained Angela. Probably for a favorite cowu, grunted her father. It isnlt , said Angela, indignantly, it's too narrow. Besides, I know a grave when I see one a.fter all the funerals I've been dragged to. Come and see for yourself . So the whole family started forth to examine Angela's find, after suppressing the brother who wished to carry a poker for protection against the Uprowling field . On the way Angela told them about the man, and Pym's strange behavior, then they began to think that perhaps after all there was something wrong. They came out of the grove with their hearts beating a little wildly, when Angela let out a scream. It's been filled up , she whispered, excitedly. and we must have surprised the murderer in the deed. Tl1ere's the shovel lying right beside- . D Stop this nonsense, Angela , said her father, sternly, Hugh, take that shovel and uncover this corner . - After much perspiring. Hugh struck something, peered into the hole, uttered a cry, and collapsed flat on his back on the grass. What is it? asked Angela. f'Bring on your coroner , gasped Hugh weaklyg darling sister, your body is the oil tank for the new oil furnace Mr. Spencer was putting in to surprise his wife . Angela promptly wilted, looks speaking louder than words. - MARJORIE H.

SHEILA K. Cosonovm, '35 THE BLUE AND'W.HITE 101 ON BEING WAKED UP HERE must be a certain technique or art that persons employ when awakening members of their own family or innocent friends. Almost always some preference is shown by the victim as to how the feat is to be accomplished. The first method and the one most frequently used is the shrieking alarm clock-in the dead of night. When you have reached the height of fame and the audience is enthusiastically applaud- ing your accomplishments, br-r-r-r goes the hated time-keeper and you wake up with a where-am-I feeling. Some people prefer to have the covers vigorously tweaked off. A cozy, warm, con- tented feeling of peace is stealing over you, when someone tugs at the blankets and yells, Hi-, time to get up! A handy revolver, you muse, would be just t.he thing. Other people would have ice-cold water dashed unceremoniously into their faces. This is a quite barbarous method, though, and leaves yougfloundering in a sea of wet night-clothes, blankets, and pillows. I suppose the most aggravating sight is the leering, self-satisfied expression on the Visage of the waker-upper. He has awakened in good season, and he wants to shout it from the house-tops. I think the best plan is to get into the habit of waking up by oneself, and, when the besieger trots into the room, spring a surprise on him by being prepared and fully armed. FLORENCE RosEN, '35 ,SOME REFLECTIONS ON THE LIFE OF MY DOG J' Y dog indeed leads a blissful existence with nothing to do but eat, sleep, and sit around, complacently scratching elusive fleas. Mornings, when I am tearing around the house trying to get dressed, eating my breakfast, and collecting my books at one and the same time, he sits in a corner, staring at me dopily, wondering what it is all about and probably not caring much. He knows that he has a warm house to stay in, and that is all that matters to him. He has no home-work to do 3 in fact, he has no work of any kind except to keep breathing at regular intervals. . He also escapes another of the numerous curses of humanity, namely, taking baths. That is, he ahnost does, for he has a thorough vermin-drowning party every few months. Another of his many blessings is that, when he eats, he can go on doing so with reckless abandon until he literally flops on the floor in a stupor while we humans must restrain ourselves either for the sake of dignity or waistline. Dogs never have worries, financial or otherwise, few, if any, matrimonial troubles, and are seldom bothered by the thought of whence the next meal is coming. However, in spite of this idyllic state of being, dogs have their troubles, such as being on the wrong end of a well aimed kick now and then. Clever dogs soon learn to dodge these, however. Yes, my mind is made up. The next time I am on deck for reincarnation I am sure it will be in the form of a dog.

DONALD LIEBHERR Vice President . GLADYS CHERNACK Secretary . . RUTH VAN DYKI3 . Treasurer . . PAUL DANESI Director . MARIAN N. BRooKs URING the school year 1934-1935 the Hope Players enjoyed one of their most successful seasons. Early in the fall, plans were made for the presentation of three one-act plays, the proceeds of which were to help buy uniforms for the band. We are happy to say that these three plays, Tell Me, Dear , Safety Pins F irst , and Sire De Maltroit's Door , were entirely successful both financially and as excellent entertainment. For our annual spring production we chose two plays, one a drama and one a musical comedy. One of these plays, Pop Goes the Measles , was written by Miss Brooks, our director. The plays, Synchronized Affectionsn and Pop Goes the Measles , were pre- sented before a large and very appreciative audience on May 26. These plays also were entirely successful. . ' THE BLUE AND WHITE 103 The Hope Players had an opportunity to broaden contacts beyond the school proper. by giving performances at the Providence Biltmore, at the Plantations Club, before such groups as the Advertising Club of Rhode Island and the Repertory Players, by lending its talents toward charitable purposes at the various institutions of the city and stateg also by contacts which Miss Brooks made possible for studying stage facilities at Faunce Hall in Brown University, and at The Barber Playhouse. All during the year we have enjoyed our association with Miss Brooks at the meet- ings, which were very pleasant, at rehearsals and at the performances. After such a suc- cessful and pleasant year we are looking forward to the next year, 1935-36, with great enthusiasm. , DONALD LIEBHERR, President THE PLEASANT ART OF DAWDLING OR those Who aspire to become first-class dawdlers, specifications are the first thing to take into consideration. One should ask himself, when the desire comes over him, Am I fit in health, mentally and physically, to become such a person? Second, whom can I obtain as teacher for the wiles and crafts of that profession? Then there are the rules and first lessons in acquiring this gentle-art. Rule No. One for becoming a dawdler dictates that one must be able to obtain' almost instantly a blank mind . If this condition can't be fulfilled to the examiner's sat-isfaction, the pro- tege might just as well give up hope of ever reaching his goal. Rule No. Two says, an aspirant must obtain as instructor, a dawdler of good standing in his respective union, and who is admitted as proficient in the profession . Practice is what counts in obtaining that finish so necessary to proving oneself cap- able in teaching the art to others. An applicant who is unwilling to take time out of class to practice the gentle art cannot possibly be considered as a prospect. Athletes insist that obtaining proficiency in anything requires hours of patient practice. Therefore, while dawdling may not be strenuously athletic, practice is what gives that final finesse, a qual- ity highly desirable in the manly art. , The practical dawdler, who has achieved his goal, should be extremely careful of the manner in which he dawdles in public. We all have our private emotions, but what is more ridiculous than a poor exhibition in public by an indifferent dawdler? Perhaps one of those witnessing the demonstration, a teacher perchance, could use his influ- ence to bring about a reform in dawdling. An exhibitionist, then, should choose his posi- tion with care, or build himself a suitable barrier of Milton and Shakespeare, so that if he is caught, he will be Hrmly entrenched and can elicit only bursts of praise from the interested onlooker. , From time unknown, there have been those people with malice in their hearts, whose very joy is instituting reforms for dawdling, or even such drastic measures as its com- plete abolishment. It behooves us greatly, therefore, to keep its age-old traditions alive, and to be careful in the selection of applicants to the art, for they are the ones who will carry on after we have become a shadow of our former selves, namely, ghosts of the past. Are we dawdlers going to be outdone by inferior mentalities, or are we going to carry on the fine old customs? It is time to rouse the dawdling world against the common foes, the dawdle-reformers. Forward, march! JOHN HAMEL, '35 104 THE BLUE AND WHITE SOCIAL JANUARY 12-We were the first class to have the Senior Prom at the Biltmore, and it was certainly a success. Due to the expert ushering of Nelson Harris, Bill Alexander, John McCabe, Jack Porritt, Stuie North, and Bob Comery, we were conducted safely through the receiving line, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Jager, Dr. and Mrs. Stoddard, Miss Slack, Miss Carter, Mr. Hussey, Mr. and Mrs. Cashman, Mr. and Mrs. Guy, and Mrs. Cushing. Eddie Quin- ton's orchestra supplied very, very smooth music and we danced till mid- night. It was all so very beautiful that we'1l never forget it. MARCI-I 1-For the second time a Hope dance has been held at the Goff Memo- rial Hall in Rehoboth. This time it was the Hi-Y dance. It was informal, but lot-s of fun. Jimmy Lundy and his or- chestra played very daneeable music. Eddie Ziegler upheld his usual standard by running out of gas. The other occu- pants of the car waited over an hour for Eddie to return with the gas. Needless to say our friends thought it was ex- tremely funny. IVIAY 4-The night of our very successful Senior Play, Nancy Ann . Miss Slack and the cast slaved for weeks, but it was worth it. It was all well done, but those EVENTS who absolutely outdid themselves were Mid Brooks, Bill Cook, Mary Hynes, and Tommy Meehan. Afterwards we danced to the music of Dave Brooks' orchestra. IVIAY 11-The long awaited Junior Prom finally arrived, and it was heartily en- joyed by nearly a hundred couples. Nathan Bishop gym had been very trickily decorated with interwoven crepe paper and balloons. Those honored with the position of usher were the Gustafson twins, Sherman Halladay, and Bill Mustard. There were two moonlight dances which almost were not, because Bob Gomery had some trouble turning off the lights. The Juniors certainly turned out for their Prom, and incidentally so did the Seniors. In the middle of the evening the decorations came down with little or no ceremony. The usual set of pa- trons and patronesses were there plus Mr. and Mrs. North, Dr. and Mrs. Al- len, and Miss MacDonald. At the end of the evening everyone was nearly ex- hausted by the fury of Dave Brooks' many fast pieces. In fact, a lot of the big sissies left before it was over. Nev- ertheless, the Juniors can certainly be proud of their Prom. NIAZIE COMERY, '35 DIRECTIONSZ' Read this over several times until you think you are not what you are and you are what you are not.

The Blue runners amassed the sumptuous total of 48 points, more than tripling the 14 points of its nearest rival, LaSalle. Marovelli and Iventasch started the scoring spree by capturing first and third respectively in the 20 yard dash, and from then on the meet assumed a decided tint of blue and white. Dunbar Young, Nick Carr, Glad- ding, Gustavesen, Dolan, and a host of others figured prominently in the scoring. The boys decided to give a fitting christ- ening to the new board track at Hope Field, hence they enjoyed a scoring orgy at the expense of Cent-ral, Classical, and Trade in the City meet. While Hope's op- ponents seemed to be affected by the frigid atmosphere and biting wind, the blue-jer- seyed lads thrived on the Arctic-like tem- perature, as evidenced by the score. Smashing all scoring records, Mal's boys buried their closest rival, Central, in a scoring frenzy, piling up 74 points to Cen- tral's 19, and Classical and Trade three apiece. The team made a clean sweep of the dash and GOO , and narrowly missed duplicating the feat in several other events. It is difficult to name stars for this meet as practically all of the perform- ers rendered a good account of themselves. Bringing all his talent to the fore, Coach Mal Williams groomed his charges for the all-important event of the year, the State Meet. His efforts were amply re- warded when once again the mighty Hope team surpassed all scoring records for the meet, running up the unprecedented total of 4915 points to LaSalle's meager 17 and Central's 10. The other class A teams managed to garner only 22W points among them. Nicky Carr, closely fol- lowed by Bill Alexander, lowered the rec- ord in the GOO held by Red Howes, formerly of Hope. In a closely fought dash the fleet-footed Dunbar nipped Marovelli at the tape to tie the record held by Wunsch, also an ex-Hopeite. Continuing their keen rivalry Gus and Belliotti once again tied for first in the high-jump. Kap- stein, Gladding, and the fast-stepping re- lay quartet also gave commendable per- formances. With the State Championship safely tucked away, the undefeated tracksters re- tired for a few weeks of rest prior to re- suming their out-door campaign. , T H E BLUE AND WHITE 107 FENCING TEAM CCHAMPSD FENCING ' In spite of their bad start, the Fencing Team won the State Championship. Early in the season they lost two matches, one to Classical, 5-4, and one to Central, 8-1. But immediately after this they bega.n to improve and, with the able coaching of Evan Crossley of Brown, they worked their way to the top. Their first success was in beating East Providence. This was one of the matches in which the second team participated. Then, due to the ex- cellent fencing of the first team, consist- ing of Bryan, Ziegler, and Mathos, they won the City Championship by beating Classical and Central, 5-4. Having won the City Championship, their goal was the State Championship. After conquering Westerly, their hopes were high, and then when they beat East Providence, last yearis champions, the coveted silver plaque was theirs. Outstanding work was done in the Individuals by Captain Raymond Bryan. Praise is due this fine team, be- sides the Track squad, they are the only team in Hope to receive a State Cham- pionship. T OUTDOOR TRACK Performing brilliantly the powerful Hope team scored six out of a possible eight first places and carved out thirty- three of a possible forty points in the third annual relay carnival held by the Inter- scholastic League. Hope took an early lead and was never in danger at any time during the whole contest. Dunbar Young, Walter Gladding, Hugo Marovelli, Nicho- las Carr and a score of others aided their respective teams to clean cut victories. Showing great smoothness and power, every one of the six winning Hope teams established a new record. Coach Mal Wil- liams, since he was director of the meet, had little time to devote to his boys, but they knew their assignments and proceed- ed to carry them out with zest. The team then turned its at-tent-ion to the greatest track event of the year for Rhode Island schoolboys, the Kingston meet. Hope faced the task of upsetting the highly touted defending champions, Moses Brown, and in a characteristic Hope man- ner proceeded t-o do that very thing by a 41 to 36 margin with the other class A teams trailing far behind. Had not the fates conspired against them, the blue tracksters might have piled up a more sumptuous total but, in spite of Dame Fortune's frowning glance, the team showed its fighting spirit by coming through on top. Led by the mighty strid- ing Dunbar Young, who came through with two fine victories in the 100 and 200 , both in near record time, the Blue took an early lead and never relinquished their tenuous hold thereafter. Dunbar, not content with a mere ten points, added two 108 THE BLUE AND WHITE OUTDOOR TRACK CCHAMPS7 more in the broad jump to become high scorer of the meet. Bob Bishop upset the experts' predictions by outclassing a bril- liant field in the pole vault, and Stewart Ashton, Nick Carr, VValter Gladding, Bob Clark, Bill Dolan, and George Truman all gathered valuable points for the Hope squad in the quest for victory. Wityh the State Championship safely tucked under their belts, the team pro- ceeded to soundly trounce their nearest rival, Central, in the Rhode Island Inter- scholastic League meet at Brown Stadium. Again led by Dunbar in the role of leading scorer the mighty Hope aggregation earned a fine total of 59 5 X6 points to Cen- tral's meager 29 U3 points. Bishop, Bob Clark, Kapstein, Gustavesen, Marovelli, Carr, Dolan, Davis, Gladding, and Ashton all turned in fine performances to help double Central's score. With only the City meet remaining, the Hope forces seem in a fair Way to close an- other undefeated season. Hiccup-Part of a title, Hiccup the British .
