Editorials SPORTSMANSHIP ln witnessing various athletic- contests. we have often heard people say. Tl1zit school has got the reall spirit. or 'iTha1t's school spirit for you! Yet, hearing these favorable comments. do we stop to consider tl1e meaning of the word Hspirit '? Let us offer this definition: Spirit is sportsmanship. or thut, quality with which we desire to be courteous, fztir, and respect' ful. This rule should apply to both the team and its supporters. To the team. let us offer this advice: don't be unsportsmztnlilce, by addressing: re- marks to o1'i'iei11ls or opponents: by attempt- ing to discomfort rudely un opponent: or by delaying the gutue. und indulging in tactics known to be 4-ontrziry to the spirit of the rules. Tiilltlllillg the ot't'ir-iztls for at de- feat. is most unsportsmnnlike. Ry admitting that the opposing: teum was the better tezun and not declaring the gainte to h:,t.ve been played unfztirly or oI't'it-iatted unjustly. we establish ourselves its the favored :uid more respected group. To the supporters we offer this advice: zu-t-1-pt the devisions ot' the ot't'ic'i:ils3 permit no abusive renutrks from the sidelines: insist on eourteous treatment of the visiting teznng recognize and applaud exhibitions ot' fine play by the visiting' team1 and respect the position of the opposing coach, So let us ot' H. ll. S. adopt these loyal stzmtlzwtls and earn the respect that we receive from others. F. M. D. LEARNING AND THOUGHT Learning without thought is labor lost. 'l'houg'ht without learning is death to the mind. lt' you have seen these two quotations on lttudunie Briggs' bulletin board. il' you have thought them over cure- fully. :Lnd it' you remember editorial is not meztnt for you. 'lf. however. you hnven't remembered them. or perhaps them. this h:tven't ever notit-ed them. you should read this editorial. Repeat the first quotation to yourself several times and you will see how true it is. Sometimes students are told to memorize a poem or a short paragraph. Many of them take that paragraph or poem and memorize it word for word without bothering to think of the meaning behind it. What earthly good will that passage do such a student? Two days from the time he memorizes it, he won't know a word of it, much less the thought behind the words, The other quotation, likewise, rings true. Some students think a thing out. but then they don't try to remember it. A few days later, they have lost it completely. Habits such as these cause much trouble. If he cultivates either of them, the student is just wasting his and his teacher's time, He will become lazy. His mind will become sluggish, and it won't function properly. Years later, he may be sorry. Then it will be too late! Every student. therefore, should think of what he learns. and learn what he thinks. H. R. M. COURTESY Life is short, but there is always time for courtesy. YVhen Aristotle said that, back in the time before all books on etiquette and social behavior were written. he certainly knew what he was talking about. Life is short, we know: but is this any reason why we should hurry through it. without any regard for the feelings and rights of others? If we stop and consider this question, our answer obviously will be No. Isn't it strange that we do not always stop to excuse ourselves when we are the offenders, but resent this lack of courtesy in others? Weren't you surprised to find that Aristotle knew so much? Well. let's not let it be said that we paid no attention to his gentle reminder. E. H. MEMORIES OF HOULTON HIGH How many of us, as we wander to and from school and through the lighted cor- ridors, realize that we are now living the happiest days of our lives? The seniors of 1939 who are about to leave are just beginn- ing to think of the many good times they have had in school. Throughout the whole four years, we can look back with pride on our champion- ship teams of football, basketball, base- ball, tennis, and track. The Caribou tournaments were big events of the winters. Even though we weren't the victors this year, last year we came out on top. YVe always looked forward to the high school circus, and we were fortunate to have the circus queen picked from our class both our freshman and senior years. VVe are now nearing the close of our last year, and everyone is hustling about exchanging pictures. Then comes the prom and graduation. It is the happiest and saddest of all our school days. Soon we shall be walking in a new corridor-life's corridor, and what is there for us we do not know. Our only regret is that we could not stay longer. Good luck to the class of 1939! D, W. SCIENCE COURSES I believe that every student should, at some time in his high school career, study a scientific subject. No subject can be as en- lightening or as interesting as a year of chemistry, biology, or physics. If you've never been acquainted with these subjects, you should get acquainted. They may sound hard and uninteresting: but, once one be- comes interested in the experiments and discussions, he will find that it isn't so bad after allg in fact, it's OK. Laboratory work is fun and gives you an insight into the wonderful world of natural phenomena. A course in chemistry or physics is a key to the questions you've often asked yourself about the thousands of things that go on around you. To be able to explain why such and such a thing happens, or why a machine works as it does and how efficient it is, is a distinction in itself, coupled with the practical knowledge one receives from a scientific course. All in all, a year or more spent in work- ing in a laboratory and absorbing scientific principles isn't a bad investment. P. O. l All 4 .

Coach Peabody, Mgr. Hodgdon, Coach Tibbetts. Football, 1938 The Tibbetts- Peabody coached gridinen of 1938. with the loss of such stars as Titcoinb. Bates. McCarthy. Hutchinson. and Bossie in the line. and Gardner, Captain Niles, Ruth, and Putnam in the backfield, displayed an exceptionally fine brand of hall, considering the tea1n's loss of stars and very light weight. The boys who carried the brunt of battle this past season were fullback Paul Ayotte. a good line-sinasher who also took care of the aerial throwing, Phil Mason, a fast. aggressive halfback who made much yardage throughout the season, Buck Lo- gan, a speedy halfback, crack defensive nian. and good broken-field runner, and Tom Donovan. a fine blocker and defensive man who took care of the signal-calling. In the line, allthe performers--Bell. Stover. and Perkins, at end, McGowan and Stock- son. at tackle, Lakin, Donovan, and Stevens at guard, and Toinilson at center-showed up well and several times displayed out- standing ability, both defensively and offen- sively. At Lincoln, the boys defeated an ex- perienced Mattanawcook Academy eleven under the tutelage of Joe Hamlin. a fornier all-Maine end at the University of Maine. The score there was 7-0. At Millinocket, Houlton suffered its only defeat of the season. 12-0. at the hands of a heavier and inore experienced Stearns aggregation. A new addition was niade to the schedule this fall, replacing the dates usually occu- pied by our county rivals, Presque Isle. This was Dexter. whoni the locals took over in a connnendable fashion. 6-0. The season came to a very successful close featured by I-iou1ton's victory over Orono.

The 19238-39 edition of hoopsters at Houlton collected a total of eleven victories out of a nineteen-game schedule. Consider- ing the loss of such stellar performers as Bob Ruth, Hal Bossie. Al Donovan. Don Mason, Lloyd Niles, and Gordy Bither. the Houlton cluster showed up very well. Coaches Tibbetts and Peabody did an excellent job in building up a formidable group around a single veteran of the year before. Carl XYolhaupter. a rangy forward. who this year took All-Aroostook honors. and did a large percentage of the team's scoring throughout the season. Buck Logan. a short. speedy sophomore. teamed well with XVolhaupter at the for- ward positions. while Huggard and Downie did excellent defensive playing. as well as displaying brilliant floor work. at the guard posts. Earl Stoton, a newcomer to the squad this year. used all of his 6 feet llllinches to advantage at the center position. This group was ably bolstered by boys like Leighton Bell. Earl Tomilson. Tom Dono- van. and Jerry Perkins. The outstanding performance of the cluster was given in the Caribou Tourna- ment finals against Presque Isle. where the locals led all the Way in a purely defensive battle up to the last three minutes of play. when Captain Parker and Fred scored in rapid Thomas of Presque Isle succession to break up a grand ball game that ended 18 - 14.

George Roben, and Donnell Graham. Two underclass boys with much natural ability surprised cross country followers by consistently leading the field in last fall's meets. These boys, John Dow and Irving Ferguson, should develop into ace runners with this year's experience, and will no doubt win many an honor for Houlton High in their remaining years. The boys who made up the Houlton cluster were Capt. Farrar, Sterling Hall, Charlie Boyne, Clayton Berrie, Irving Ferguson, Ralph Watson, John Dow and Paul Albert.

Some of the boys with track experience who should bolster up this year's aggregat- ion are Leighton Bell, Paul Ayotte, Ralph Watson, VVesley Carpenter, 'Lloyd Murphy, and Fred McCann. The schedule for this springs meet is as follows: May 13 Presque Isle at Houlton May 18 Fort Fairfield at Houlton Uunior Varsityl May 20 Aroostook vs. Maine Frosh at Orono May 27 Caribou at Caribou June 3 County meet at 'Caribou AROOSTOOK LEAGUE CHAMPIONS Front. l. to r.: Bates.

Girls' Basketball The 1932-39 Houlton High sextet re- cently established somewhat of a record in girls' basketball with a seventeen-game Aroostook League winning streak which stretched over a period of three years. This long string of victories came to an end at the hands of a strong VVashbnrn team. who defeated the locals. 24-22. in an overtime period in one of the most exciting contests ofthe past season. Thisloss proved to be the only league defeat suffered, and in spite of it, they successfully defended their Aroostook League title for the second consecutive year.

Baseball Baseball prospects in Houlton High for the 1939 season could hardly be called bright. considering the long list of veterans lost through graduation last spring. Vernon Titcomb, Hal Bossie. Fred Monahan. Gordy Bither, Bob Ruth. Ralph Hodgdon. and Henry Cameron will be sorely missed in this year's lineup. Nevertheless, a scrappy and enthusiastic array of underclassmen is working hard under Coaches Tibbetts and Peabody to make them forget their loss. Captain Earl Tomilson. Reggie Downie. Phil Mason. Buck Logan, Ken Taylor. Paul Ayotte, James XVard, Everett Gardner, and newcomers Bob Huggard and Jim VVatson will probably see plenty of action this year. After losing two p1'eliminary practice games with Oakfield, our boys lost to Fort Fairfield and won from Presque Isle in the first two Aroostook League games. At Fort Fairfield, the feature of the game was the effective pitching of Reed, the Fort pitcher, who held our inexperienced boys to five hits, winning 5-2. At Houlton, Presque Isle was surprised by the airtight pitching of our Captain Tomilson, who pitched a threee l1it game, winning 541. This game was feat- ured by the heavy hitting of Houlton in the last three innings, particularly by Mason and Ayotte. Because the team is almost entirely a new one, built largely of sophomore and freshman material, it will be a miracle if we do better than break even in the league games. Yet, as we go to press, it begins to appear that our young team may justify its new uniforms by doing that, or more. The boys, fired with a fine eager spirit, are trying hard and learning fast. Coaches Tibbetts and Peabody very likely have the makings of another championship cluster, if not in 1939, then in 1940. V 1 THE TENNIS TEAM Left to right, front row, Martin, Hawkins, Captains Frances and Tom Donovan, Jackins, Lambert. Second 1'ow: Grant, Pomeroy, Crawfo1'd, Hallett, Gartley, Titcomb, Macllroy. Third row, McGowan, XVard, Taggett, Popham, Rogers, Spaulding, Russell, Hatfield. Fourth row: Jackins, Coach Sherman, Mooers, Coach Saunders. Tennis For four years now. our racket wielders have yet to drop a single match in high school competition. With all due respect for the recent two-year winning streak compiled by the girls' basketball team, this thirty-three match record made by the tennis team has yet to find its equal. Last season marked the third consec- utive league championship for Houlton's un- defeated and untied aggregations, Although last year's championship team lost many of its men stars such as Don Mason, Ralph Kelley, George Roben, Bob Macllroy, James Milbery. and Clair Bell through graduation. the entire girls' team, with the exception of Jeanette Berry, who was lost via the grad- uation route, will be back with Frances Donovan, Del Martin, Joyce Lambert. Jean Jackins. and Dot Hawkins combining with such boys as Captain Tom Donovan and Al McGowan to attempt to uphold the title of Aroostook County's perennial champs. This year's schedule is by far the most attractive yet drawn up, with two matches scheduled with the Maine Frosh, two with Bangor High, and others with schools in the southern part of the state such as Deering High School of Portland and Cony High of Augusta. XVith the other Aroostook teams eyeing our long string of victories and growing jealously. it will be more diffi- ever to maintain the pace we so long. As this goes to press, the match with the University of Maine has been played and lost, 9-l, This decisive defeat. though no disgrace in losing to coll- ege players, may be laid largely to the extremely late Aroostook spring, so late that oui' boys and girls had practically no outdoor practice, being forced to train in the cramped quarters of the gymnasium. As summer moves in on us and autoinat- ically puts our courts in shape, we may expect results more in line with our reputation cult than have held record-with other high schools, of course. g BIS 'ix-S543 LFULE? gif o , i lil f Senior In the month of September, 1934, the doors of Houlton High School opened to admit a class of new, ambitious students. Since that time, they have made history for their school. It is awell known fact that. for three years, girls' athletics have been upheld mostly by the class of '39, For three years. these girls have won the league basketball trophy for Houlton. Our boys, likewise, have been outstanding in athletics. football. baseball, track, and tennis. The class of '39 has twice presented speaking History exhibitions. Twice, Miss Irma, Comins has won the Spear speaking contest in the Southern Aroostook division. This year, an excellent cast presented the Senior play, 'iffhina Boy. In intelligence, also, our class ranks high. Both semesters this year, a senior home room has had the highest ave 9111?-Ie. The first semester, all three rooms led the list. Still more, we have produced two circus queens. The members of this most excellent class, and their activities, are listed below. 10 THE SENIOR GIRLS High rank in English, parties, gold pins.

And the moon bathed the night in an eerie white light. And the waves rolled and frolicked close by And the night wind came in off the ocean Screaming a tale to the shoals. And the surf beat the sand with an unceasing hand. And the breakers formed uniformed rolls She came booming along toward the channel, And her cross-trees were leaning to lee.

She seemed like a girl I had dreamed of: How I loved my ideal of the sea, And when she'd fly by. on the crests riding high, Make believe she was smiling at me!

III One night, when ll stood on the seashore And counted the stars in the sky. And the moon bathed the night in its eerie white light, And the waves rolled and frolicked close by, She came booming along toward the channel, And her cross trees were leaning to lee. And she tossed her bowsprit with an impu- dent flit, In defiance to heaven and sea, - And her mizzen-mast bent 'fore the night wind, And she semed like a beautiful maid, Almost heavenly such, that no one could touch, And goddess o'er all she surveyedg And while she was riding the channel, By the light of the Si1Ve1'y night, My heart skipped a beat, as she veered from her beat, Like a butterfly caught in its flight. The moon looked suddenly ghastly, And my heart turned to lead with the grief, At seeing her quail, 'fore the breakers and gale, XVhile stranded on rock and on 1'eef. I begged that the wind cease its fury. But the wind howled a laugh at my plea. And the winds on her fell, like the demons of hell, And I, cursed at the wind and the sea. I paled when I noticed her staggerg She was doomed to a watery grave, I groaned in 1ny heart, when her masts fell apart, And I wept when she sank 'neath the waves. The moon waned away in the distance, And the night filled with darkening gloom, I stood there for long, the wind sighed a song, And the surf roared a loud chant of doom. IV Some nights, when I stand on the seashore, VVhile counting the stars in the sky, And the moon bathes the night in its mellow moonlight, And the waves roll and frolic close by, And the night wind comes in off the ocean, Screaming a tale to the shoals, And the surf beats the sand with an un- ceasing hand, And the breakers form uniformed rolls, I can still see her sweep toward the channel, With her cross trees leaning to lee, And she'll toss her bowsprit with an im- pudent flit, In defiance to heaven and sea. And her foremast will bend 'fore the night winds, And shell seem like a beautiful maid, Almost heavenly such, that no one can touch, And goddess o'er all she surveys. I can still see her face in the moonlight, VVith her hair streamed behind as she nea1's, And I'll laugh when she'll skip past the reefs with a flip, And feel lonely when she disappears. SALUTE TO MORNING By Merle Hawkes The sun reached a reluctant finger over the hill and parted the mist that hung like a filmy blanket over the valley. The small farmhouse below me, partly concealed by several truant shadows, seemed as tranquil and peaceful as a lullaby, as silent as a churchyard. Smoke from the chimney climb- ed lazily for a few feet, then disappeared into nothingness, The whole valley seemed to be wrapped in a cloak of silent waiting. Then the silence was broken, but app- ropriately indeed, by the salute of Master Rooster to a new day. As though this we1'e the maestro's signal, the grandest symphony in the world began its opening number. The frogs in the creek and the barnyard fowl seemed to be endeavouring to excel each other for the lead, and, had I been judge, I am sure I would have rewarded them equally. The early morning breeze swayed the trees in time to the music. The 17 ,liil THE ENGLISH CLUB High rank in English, parties' gold pins. cows filled in occasionally with their bass p1'otest. And even a squirrel chattered his appreciation of their talent. The sun rose higher still, and the small- est shadows were sent on their way.

WHAT THE MILKMAN SEES By Carol Gardner The milkman sees the world from an unusual point of view. His friends are street cleaners, policemen, truck drivers, night- watchmen, and janitors. He scrambles fI'0lll his bed when the alarm rings two o'clock. The cows. of which there are many, are milked by milking machines. About the time he starts to deliver the fresh milk, day is breaking, His truck is a modern white machine with no seat, so that he can jump out more quickly. He delivers in small, dingy hall- ways, large estates, hotels, and restaurants. He encounters society people on unsteady feet, dressed in tails, top hats, and 9l'lIlIll6 wraps. Next, while riding through the park, shabbily dressed people stir beneath piles of newspapers on benches. He has a friendly chat with all his friends. VVhen his work is about finished, thous-- ands of men and women are just going to work. He returns to the milk farm about nine o'clock or earlier, where a dozen or so similar trucks are returning from differ- ent parts of the city. and goes to bed in the afternoon. SCENE ON THE COAST By Barbara Somerville Seated on a huge barnacled rock on a point of land which jutted out into the ocean, I watched with fascination the large breakers rolling in. The waves. large and white-capped, seemed to be running a fast and furious race to see which could reach shore first, As I watched these breakers, I noticed that some were larger than others. Instantly I thought of the old saying, Every ninth wave is the largest. Remem- bering this, I picked out the largest wave and began counting from that one. It seem- ed to me that the old adage was true. Glancing out to sea, l could barely dis- cern the outlines of several large islands. Nearer snore I saw a gleaming white pleas- ure yacht steam leisurely by. Still nearer. small sail boats were bobbing aimlessly up and down. On my left, a group of children playing happily on the white sands caught my atten- tion. Faint sounds of their laughter reached my ea1's above the noise of the breakers. On my right were great jagged rocks where, so history says, many a vessel came to grief. Gradually the volume of the waves grew greater and greater as the tide came in. At last. when the water reached the rock on which I was sitting. I returned home, but only to remember a scene on the coast. CIVILIZATION - 1938 STYLE By Charles A. Hannigan VVe are now living in a civilized age. A fervent prayer of thanksingving that we do not live in the Middle Ages! Why, today. man can kill man more easily than ever be- fore. Just thinkithe prehistoric man had to meet his enemy in fair combat. Now, thanks to science, Japan is cutting China's throat. not by fighting, but by slaughtering thous- ands of helpless Chinese men, women. and children. Never before have men been killed so quickly, easily, and painlessly as today. A shell slipped into a gun, a few levers turned, the shell sent on its course, and a hundred screaming things that were men are strewn over tl1e terrain. No, there was no science in the fighting of Caesar: but men fought, and men were killed. Now. in our haughty cities, clouds of gas, respect- ing neither the frightened women, the trembing invalids, the tottering aged, or the suckling babes, may search out their innocent prey and breathe choking death upon them. And we call ourselves civilized. I wonder! THE.PRIVATE LIFE OF A BLOCK OF WOOD By Allison Carson At first I was just a little seed, and I thought I would never get to be a big tree like the one beside me. The first year I grew to be about a foot high. The next year, I grew a couple of feet, and soon I was all of twenty feet tall. Then came the terrible day when that woodsman came and cut me down. I was cut up i11to small pieces and dried. One cold day I was put into the stove. My ashes were sold, and I was made into soap. A little girl washed with me. At length I grew so small .I went down the sink spout, into bad company, HOW TO DRIVE AN ENGLISH TEACHER CRAZY By Alfred McGowan There are numerous ways of making an English teacher crazy. The best way is to write a theme with three run-on sentences and two fragments in it. When passing it in, also forget to sign your name. and have at least two large blots on tl1e paper. XVhen in the classroom, place both feet in the seat beside you, turn around, and annoy the unlucky girl behind. Place your feet with a nonchalant air, as if to say, Whats English, anyway? Then. when the teacher tries to explain something, turn around and laugh at the other boys. In addition, you should make it a point never to know what the lesson is, or what it is about. And when the teacher hands you your D paper, just smile aloofly and stuff it in your pocket absent-mindedly - as if it really didn't matter. Then move out of town, be nice to your new teacher, and have her write to your old teacher about what wonderful work you are doing in English! FIRESIDE COMPANIONS By Lona Taggett XVhy is it that a fire-new, roaring, and vigorous - brings back so many mem- ories? A fireplace has a certain power, magnetic, perhaps. Once a person is before it, gazing into it, he finds the task of break- ing away hard. VVhen the fire is new, it brings back to young and old alike experiences, either happy or sad. You remember the gay Christ- mas party last year. You remember your vacation at the seashore. A hundred and one things present themselves to you, Many acquaintances return to you. How much you would like to see them now! The warmth of the fire envelops you. 19 l A ' ' ' . .cz .-.-,- i' 5 . Q- W ...

The flamesiblue-green, pale yellow, and red- they a1'e making their last stand. Soon they will die. The fireplace will be dark and gloomy. While the coals are yet glowing. some last thoughts flicker in your mind. Slowly, one by one, the gay flames are sub- merged in the gray ashes. At the same time your thoughts are becoming more and more indistinct. As the fire dies, death, too, comes to your happy thoughts. Never mind. You will again soon look into a blazing fireplace, For now, though happy memories must be content to remain in the depth and gloom to which they have fallen, you also must be content to wait until another time when the fire will per- form in colorful dances. At that time, a a dream most welcome will again become the master of your mind. THE STORM By Lawrence Tilley It was night. As I watched the storm from my porch, it seemed to unfold in all of its fury, pouring its anger at the earth. Its fie1'y tongue darted across the sky, lighting up the sodden countryside with its sudden brilliance. The wind-swept trees seemed to quiver in fear of the ominous rumblings, and the cutting sheets of rain slanted to the shining wet ground as if trying to break it open. But it was beautiful. The lightning, thunder, rain. and wind, all combining to produce this vent for Nature's potential energy, were beautiful. It was one of those scenes that cannot be described by mere words, but that can only leave its lasting impression on the finite mind that beholds it.

AFTER AL.L-PEACE By Mildred Clark A white-clad, rubber-gloved figure slipp- ed silently up heavily carpeted stairs, glided down the hall, quietly opened a door at the end of the corridor, and darted into the room. The light of a full moon flooded the room with incandescent whiteness. On a wide bed lay a beautiful girl, her shining hair flowing in bright waves over the pillow. The intruder stood still for only a mo- ment, watching the girl as she slept, peace- fully unaware of the impending danger. He drew from the folds of his gown a small can and a huge wad of cotton. The can was covered tightly, but he had had much prac- tice, so it took him only a second to open it. He saturated the cotton with the solution. The heavy scent of chloroform filled the room. He crept stealthily to the bed and carefully placed the wet cotton over the girl's nose and mouth. She stirred restless- ly. From another pocket he drew a roll of adhesive tape and began, with deft, quick movements, to wrap the tape securely over the girl's face. By that time, her breath- L.b. THE EIGHTH GRADE Next year ing sounded harsh and uneven. The man poured more chloroform on the cotton: then he closed the can and returned it to his pocket. His hand returned to the girl's face. The moon glinted on a sharp instrument, he was holding. He paused a moment and then began to cut a neat gash in her forehead. Another line was cut across the firstg and, as he stepped back. the light of the moon fell directly on her pale face and seemed to magnify the ugly red cross on her forehead. The man chuckled in maniacal glee and glided from the room. through the hall. down the steps and disappeared f1'om view. Back in the room. the girl strangled, clutched frantically at the cotton bound over her face, tried to sit up, then fell back. senseless, on the pillow. Blood streamed from the cross cut in her forehead, her breathing became fainter and fainter, and finally the room was silent. Somewhere in the distance, a clock tolled sonorously twelve times, and the black shroud of death enveloped the room. Hours afterward, the cold, gray fingers of dawn crept through the window. Still later, when the rays of the early-morning sun had chased away the shadows, a maid tapped at the door, and, receiving no ans- wer, turned the knob. When she found the door unlocked, she walked timidly into the 22 Freshmen room. She stood petrified. staring at the rigid figure on the bed. Suddenly she screamed hoarsely and then darted from the room. That evening, glaring headlines pro- claimed. Helen Rogers. Famed Actress, Found Dead - +Fifth in a Series of Chloro- form Murders by 'The Cross' - Police Baffledj' Dr. George Brent. head surgeon large hospital, was one of those most inter- ested in these murders. He had even given great ofa a large sum of money to help in the drive launched to catch The Cross . It seemed, however. that all efforts were fu- tile. because 'l'he Cross left no clues. People came from all over the country to consult Dr. Brent. Children who had to sit in wheel chairs, their limbs in iron braces, and watch their friends running and playing. were made to walk. People brought in from accidents, their bodies mangled so badly that they were left to die, were, by the untiring patience and un- canny skill of Dr. Brent, made to look human once more. Often they could even walk: but. if they weren't this lucky. they blessed him for saving their lives. Other doctors wondered at the miracles perform- ed by him. On the seventh night after t'The Cross had murdered Helen Rogers, Dr. Brent, Ag l after spending the evening at home with his ten-year-old daughter, retired early. An hour later, a whitefclad figure stole silently through a hall in the Brent home, quietly opened a door. and slipped into a room. Annie Brent, a doll clasped tightly in her arms, was sound asleep. The man crept stealthily to her small, white-painted bed, From his pocket he drew a can and a large piece of cotton. The can was covered tightly, but. since he had had much practice, it took him only a se- cond to open it. He saturated the cotton with liquid from the can. The scent of chlo- roform filled the room. .lust as he bent over the child, the wet cotton in his hand, a breeze swept in an open window, knocking a small lamp from a table beside him. There was a sharp crash. The man awoke. Dr. Brent stood staring at Annie, who by this time was awake. t'Xl'hy, Daddy, what are you doing here? cried Annie. What have you in your hand? What is that funny smell? Dr. Brent's astonished gaze fell on the cotton in his hand, then the horrible truth dawned on him. Go back to sleep, Annie, he said, his voice shaking. I just came in to see if you were asleep. With trembling hands he tucked the covers under her chin, then left the room quickly. In his own room once more. George Brent sank weakly into a chair, He must think. As the full significance of the can of chloroform in his hand penetrated his brain. he gasped in hor1'or. He, who had saved so many lives, was a murderer. He was The Cross . He had given money to help in the search for himself. No, this was silly - only a crazy dream. But it wasn't. it was stark reality. and he must face it! Should he give himself up? If he did, it would be Annie who must suffer the disgrace, the heartbreak of it all. Her mother was dead, and there would be no one to shield her. On the other hand, if he didn't give himself up, he might keep on doing the same thingfmurdering people in his sleep. He wanted to save life, not de- stroy it. He would take a trip. Yes, he would go away for a while. No one would ever find out about him, and Annie would he saved the disgrace. The following morning, Dr. Brent began arrangements for a trip to Bermuda. He ex- plained to his friends that he had been working too hard and needed a rest. At the end of two weeks, Annie had been enrolled in a private school, and George Brent was on the way to Bermuda. Tiny, white-capped waves rippled play- fully against the side of the boat. Fluffy- looking gobs of whipped cream scudded THE FRESHMEN 'Looking Forward 4 r in , through the azure-blue sky. Sometimes the clouds could hardly be distinguished from the great white gulls that flapped merrily all around. Dr. Brent sat in his deck chair, an open book lying on his knees: but he wasn't reading. He was staring vacantly into the distance, thinking, thinking, thinking. Oh, it was horrible. An passed through him that awful night two that wasnit all. Five done the same thing, involuntary shudder as he remembered weeks ago. Yes, but times before he had only he hadn't been lucky enough to wake up then. He must not think of it. His brain was becoming so muddled, he might do some- thing that would leave Annie alone in the world. He thought how it would feel to sink into the sea, to feel the cool water closing over his head, and know that all was over. But for Annie's sake, he must remain sane. must live and suffer this unbearable men- tal agony. Perhaps he shouldn't have left Annie. Suddenly a great loneliness descended on him. He wouldn't stay long in Bermuda. Surely he'd find some solution to all this. Everything would turn out all right, and he and Annie would be very happy. For the first time in days, G'eorge Brent's thoughts turned from the awful reality. and gradually he sank into a peaceful sleep. Minutes later, he was awakened by a steward. NVireless for you, sir. He hand- ed Dr. Brent a copy of the message. Thank you, said Dr. Brent, and start- ed to open it. Suddenly a child's shrill scream cut the air. People started running madly here and there, shouting, Child overboard ! George Brent sprang from his chair, ripped off his coat, tore his shoes from his feet, and dived into the sea. Seconds seem- ed like hours as each onlooker held his breath. A lifeboat was loweredg and, just as it hit the water, two tense hands raised the child to the surface, then began to sink slowly back into the cool, green waves. Someone got the child into the lifeboat. Others dived for Dr. Brent, but it was of no use. He had simply disappeared into the depths of the sea. On his deck chair lay the message he had received just before jumping into the water to rescue the child. The captain pick- ed it up and read it. A look of horror pass- ed over his faceg then he read it aloud: Annie killed instantly. Return on next boat. Even then, in some far-off 1'eal1n beyond this world, George Brent was walking to- ward his wife and little daughter, his face alight with happiness and sublime peace. He had thought everything would turn out all right, and so it had! MY ROSE GARDEN Beautiful to see are they, l Growing in my garden gay. White and pink and yellow iaie, Only God could put them there.

Three little ships put out to sea Three little ships of destiny, Bearing cargoes of hopes and fears Fruiting now after many years. The human will, the guiding hand, These steered the ships to that new land, And the weary leader and the sullen crew Each builded better than he knew. Four hundred and forty-six years ago, an important event occured. A new land had been discovered. By whom? XVhat was his story? What characteristics does the world admire him for? XVhat does America owe him? There a1'e very few students of history who do not know that on October 121492, Christopher Columbus, after months of drifting withlthe wind, landed on a small island, later to be called San Salvador. By doing this, he proved to the Old XVorld that the earth was round instead of flat. Of Columbus's birth, history has no re- cord except that he was born in humble surroundings like many other great men. He was just a normal boy with a boy's as- pirations. I like to think of Columbus as predestined and inspired by God to lead our ancestors from a land of greed, super- stition, and persecution to a land of liberty and freedom. The World admires Columbus for his courage, his Christian character, and his faith. XVhen he needed help for his venture, he never despaired before sailing, but pray- ed for God's guidance. VVhen his sailors mutinied, he did not lose courage: but, after asking divine help, he ordered his sailors to sail on. VVhen he landed, his first act was to fall upon his knees and thank God. Yxie. the descendants of the old world, owe Columbus a debt of gratitude in dis- covering the greatest country in the world, one that has a Constitution and a signed Declaration of Independence. a country where we can think, talk, and vote with- out a bayonet at our backs. And the immi- grants who have crossed that ocean since Columbus pointed the way are grateful to him for his courage in discovering the New XVorld, where neighbors live in peace with , 1 equal opportunities for all. With Columbus as their patron, a band of -Christian gentlemen, at Hartford, Con- neticut, in 1882, charted a fraternal, patri- otic, and charitable organization known as The Knights of Columbus, whose duty it is to remind us all that this'country he discovered be kept inviolate, of the people, by the people, and for the people. In closing with the words of the poet, may I repeat, Along the waterfront there strayed a dreaming lad Who, unafraid of jeers and laughter for his scholar's mien, Begged rough sailors for tales of lands they'd seen. The sea gulls circling overhead, The ships with great white wings outspread Awoke in him a longing, fierce, determined, grim, To look beyond the broad horizon's rim. Centuries have passed, and we who own him great Bow to courageous faith that would not hesitate. Then dream on, youth-and make the dream come true- 'They open up new worlds, who dream and do. MUSIC By Philip Stewart Music is one great quality of beauty, which, if a man would really live, he must appreciate and enjoy. Whether it is the sweeping strains of a mighty symphony orchestra, with its per- fect interpretation of various moods, now rumbling like turbulent waters, now light and gay as tripping fairies, now in a pen- sive or melancholy mood, or whether it is the beautiful, thrilling music rendered by the vocal artist as he puts his whole heart into his song, the beauty of music has that touch of power which stirs the mind, raises the spirits, and puts its wondrous stamp upon the souls of those who listen, bring- ing thoughts and visions to the minds which will linger forever. The rolling waves of the mighty ocean majestic, unseen power. So the strains of music roll on, with all the gentle power and matchless grace that lies within its beauty, and move and stir the hearts of men as the ocean waves move and stir the sands on the beach.

THE CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE NERVII By James Donovan When Caesar learned from captured men Where the river Sabis lay, He learned the Nervii waited for him Across the narrow way. Caesar sent some scouts ahead, A camping place to chooseg! They went by night instead of day, That no men they might lose. He sent some cavalry ahead To route out lurking foes, And guard the coming baggage train From many dreadful woes. The three tribes of the enemy, When first his banners spied, Rushed down the bank and crossed the stream And up the other side. But, woe for them, where they thought one, 'There were six legions strongg With clash of steel and din of cries, Raged fierce the battle long. At last the Nervii were killed, Or gave to him their arms, And graciously he sent them home To work on their old farms. Confessions of High School Students Freshman--I don't know.

About one hundred steps carried me down into a world of strange beauty, of the rocks and water-the type of beauty that towers over you and humbles youg the type of beauty that carries away the imagination and leaves only infinite, inexpressible awe. composition, only Red sandstone is its common red sandstoneg yet. its shapes and its sealed lips ex- forms, its massiveness, emplify the wisdom of the ages. Look at those ponderous barriersg yonder is a cave. Sand carpets its floor, the flood tide moulds its shape, age gave it its pomposityg that gigantic arch just ahead watched over the bourn of time. Incessant erosion of the tides beating, beating, beating against these walls isolated this pinnacle. Still, see how firmly it stands! These dynamic works were not scarred by the hand of man, This was the accomplishment of forces greater than the forces of main, of forces guided by the hand of omnipotence. WINTER By Rheta Murphy VVhat is more peaceful and calm than a cold winter night, with a blazing fire in the fireplace and a happy little family gathered around it? Father smokes his long corn-cob pipe, while mother takes interest in. knitting for the family, and the children amuse them- selves with a game of checkers. The large shepherd dog lies at father's feet, awaiting the first sound of an approaching stranger: and the playful kitten disturbs mother's knitting by rolling and tangling the yarn. Soon the fire burns low and the little family retires for a long night's rest, while the cold north wind howls and rattles the windows, and the heavy snow beats against, the sides of the little dwelling. Morning comes and the sun throws its shining beams upon the snow, which glistens and shines like a blanket of diamonds. L W 4 She The Her She The Her The Still Her THE HONOR SOCIETY Mrs. Howe.

One look into his eyes and you could understand him. Every- where I went. he wentg when danger was ahead. he warned meg and, when I was in trouble, he helped me. Always standing by my side. he would not let me down. He was n1y pal, the best one I have ever had. One day when he was coming to meet me. he crossed the street in front of an automobile and was killed instantly. The sorrow that this caused me is something that I shall never be able to forget. I had lost tl1e best friend I ever had. my dog. '39's great scientist. E. Porter: Some of the greatest discoveries have been the re- sult of accidents. Fair companion: I once made one that way myself. E. P: May I ask what it was? Fair one: Certainly.

Yes, it is an honest- to- goodness beard. I noticed it the other morn' ing as I was performing a delicate operat- ion upon a pimple. My face was bent close to the mirror-so close, in fact, that to one not Well acquainted with my unorthodox methods. I appeared to be in the act of osculation with myself. Then all of a sud- den. as those things happen, I saw it! There it was, a hair sticking out from the space under my nose! It was undoubtedly a Whisker. Recalling previous observations of my fellow-men, I observed this was the correct place for it, too. I was tempted to run for the razor, but my better self decided otherwise. And now I am happy. I am a man. I have an honest-to-goodness beard! A TOAST TO AMERICA By Millicent NIcKinnon I-Iere's to you, dearest of all lands! You. with your bountiful forest and plains, mountains and villages! How sweet is the ground from which you have sprung. first a huge mass of tall green forests and then a village here and there. The sound of your 30 language is music to my ears and brings peace to my soul. The people who consti- tute your being are a source of comfort to me. Where else could such loving. truthful people be found, as in America? Your mag- nificent rivers, lakes and mountains bring people from near and far to gaze at your beauty. May you ever be like the rocks from which you have sprung and give ot' your best to 'the people who have made you! DREAM LAND By Evelyn Hamilton I love to go to sleep at night, For, just ahead. I know, ls a pleasant place called Dreamland To which I soon shall go. Some dreams are goodg some dreams are badg And others passing fair. I love to sail this sea of dreams. And see what's waiting there. The whole night through on Dreamland Sea, I float and cruise awayg But my little boat comes sailing home. At the peep of every day. A SONG ABOUT KETTLES By Mildred Bither Life is full of changes, Years are hard and long, But the world's teakettles Keep their old song. Oh, the long pleasure Their music has been To calm cats purring VVith their paws folded ing To gray grandmothers In the twilight sitting. Feet on a cricket. Hands full of knittingg To children nodding At the edge of a dream, Their heads all misty In a silver steam! Time, changes, weather- None of these things Can make much trouble VVhen a teakettle sings! AUTUMN By Philip Stewart Autumn is the time of days at school, and days afieldg of falling leaves, and fall- en hopesg of chilly days, and chillier nightsg of lively interest in current sports, and fear- ful thoughts of coming winter. Autumn is the time when a 1nan's heart will truly respond to the vigorous, inviting air, and reveal the nature of that which lies withi11 him, whether of happiness or de- spair. To many, autumn is the herald of a time when their greatest hopes and cher- ished longings will be realized. To others, it appears as the dusk of the year, ushering in long months of cold, darkness, and mise1'y, which must be endured until the veil of winter is lifted, and a glow of light announces the coming of another dawn. Bob, what's the height of your am- bitions? R. Huggard: Well-she comes about to my shoulder. A FACE By Doris Dunphy The man's face that I saw that Monday night was one that no person could ever forget if he once beheld it. His hair was brown. dull, and rumpled. deep-set like those of a lion to jump at his preyg and, about twenty feet away, I His eyes were that was ready although I was could see they were of a pale, hard blue. His nose was a long. crooked, and scarred projection of liorrorg and his mouth was set in a thin, steel-like, grotesque line. The lllall looked as if he had been in prison for half a life- time because of the deathly pallor of his oily, rough, and blemished skin. He could not have been over forty-nineg but the face with the terrible, haunting features stood out so hideously in the yellow lamp- light of the room that he looked to me like some death-dealing monster or ogre of ages past. A MAGIC NIGHT By Lou Hughes I donned my thick coat, tied a scarf about my head, and started down the grassy slope. The night was clear and cool. I look- ed to see Whether the stars were outg and a large, round, yellow moon beamed at me and followed me down the hill. Old Mr. Moon ducked behind a line of trees and peeked out at me every now and then. The brook trickled over the rocks, the wind whipped my cheek. I had forgotten that I was a living per- son. fl felt more like one of the maple leaves that danced along beside me. I began to hop along, then run, and the moon followed me. IVhen I had wandered far enough. I turned and started homeward. As I looked up to say goodnight to the moon and see it sail along, lo! the moon turned too and followed me back past the trickling brook, up the grassy slope, under the stately pines, and back to reality, leaving the mysterious beauty behind. R. Grant: Did you pass your exam? H. Berry: Well, it was like this-you see- R. Grant: Shake! Neither did I. DAWN By Merle Hawkes The darkness of night dininied to the lighter hue of early niorning. The stars. glittering like geins on a velvet blue back- ground. dropped out of sight one by one as though plucked by a hidden hand. A gold- en ray of sunshine pierved the grey niist that hung like a shroud over the lowlands. XVhite streamers of fog arose froni the lake with ghostly writhings and disappeared into nothingness. Gradually. as the sun rose higher over the eastern hills. the chill air became wariner. birds began singing their weluonie of niorning. and the t-alinness was broken by the niovenients of sniall animals that frequented the secluded cove. When night was completely gone and the dawn had ushered in a new day. I had seen unfolded before ine a panorama of indescribable and exquisite beauty, Jo Ann P:Oh! Vaughn! Let's not park here! Oh!

As they travel onward, Old Jack Frost seems to be prodding their ba1'e spots with little sharp swords. VVhen they reach the school, their noses and cheeks are all a- tingle from the tricks of Jack Frost. As soon as 'Old Sol rides high in the heavens, Jack Frost takes a small nap in his ice lair. Old Sol, tired at last, drops gently behind the horizon, and Jack Frost immediately resumes his fun. He travels down to the river or skating rink and makes the girls and boys huddle around the fire, or, skating energetically, their voices snap in the frosty air and their skates glide smoothly over the surface of the ice which Jack 'Frost had worked on all day. About ten o'clock, when Jack Frost is at his best, the boys and girls take off their skates, put out the fire, and with much noise and laughter, they journey home to the warm fireside. Pres EATING FROM A TROUGH By Philip Boyne VVhile passing a farm house one day, I noticed four pigs eating from a trough, or rather, in a trough. VVillie, the weeping wonder, weighing about 600 pounds, was wading in a trough full of milk and snorting orders to the others. Millie, the mild- mannered maid, was scratching her back against a rake, while Silly, the simple slop, was trying to capture a bobbing potato in a pail of milk. Tilley, the tedious toiler, was busy rooting'for an apple under the trough and ended up by spilling it, much to the disgust of Millie, the mild-manered maid, Silly, the simple slop, and Willie, the weep- ing wonder. Romeo Myshrall is quite the man. Ask him if he hasn't a way with the women. It must be your shapely figure, Sammy. Reggie: I've given up women for Lent. Buch: QA little jealousy Ya! but you broke itg you go up to Brewer's every nite! OUR MRS. SLIPP By Jean Rhoda what is called an Mrs. Slipp called one of them dooflexesn. Mrs. Slipp was our weekly help , and she came to do VVe used to live in apartment. It is what Thursday was the day for us. I can assure you that she did for us completely. Undoubtedly Mrs. Slipp was an excell- ent scrubber and polisher, but I dreaded the ruthless putting away of books, hiding my most comfortable and beloved slippers, and her curious rearrangement of the furn- iture. I enjoyed the lady's cheerfulness, I marveled at the amount of work she could accomplish, but the mishaps that occurred made me shudder. She always volunteered to do this task or that, and would not consider no for an answer. She washed three collars and a shirt belonging to my brother, and a pair of cretonne curtains. The collars, decorated with patches of blue, were ironed on the wrong side, and the shirt and curtains came out several sizes smaller than they went in. IVe hid the washing on Thursday there- after. Cheerfulness was one of Mrs. Slipp's most splendid qualities. She was cheerful even in the face of calamitiesewhich were many. XVhen she first came to us, we had a vacuum cleaner. We treated it kindly and it rendered us faithful service. But Mrs. Slipp had a fatal way with electrical appli- ances. The vacuum cleaner was the first to fall into her clutches. She informed Mother that she would sweep the rug with the vacuum cleaner. Mother warned her to treat the poor thing gently, and she assured Mother that she would take the greatest of care with it. When Dad came home that night, the vacuum cleaner was in the middle of the floor-in pieces. Mrs. Slipp said, YVould you 'ave time to fix that there vacuum for me, sir? It won't work now. I think the clockwork's wore out. Dad was very patient, but in the end he grew desper- ate. So we hid the vacuum as well as the washing. Our experience with Mrs. Slipp ended that fall. But as the Thursdays roll by, we always remember same incident connected with Mrs. Slipp. 34 1 4 w i 1 N 4 By Helen Cumming '39 What have our graduates lweti clc llll Hint-e they llade dear olti llonllon lligh a Rad farewell?
