Kennard EXECUTIVE BOARD EDUCATION IN THE FUTURE Education has advanced a great deal since early times and has gone thru many stages of development, finally reaching the status at which it is today. But develop- ment in the field is far from complete and can still stand a great deal of improvement. Throughout the world, education in most of the major countries has been extended to many more people than it was a century ago. ln our own nation hundreds and even thousands of schools and colleges have grown up in the last fifty years. Great progress has been made in ex- tending college educations to greater num- bers of people: but after the war, when colleges and universities are back to nor- mal again, an even greater number of people will receive the value of college ed- cations. New accelerated methods of teach- ing have been so successfully adopted by the different branches of our a1'1ned ser- vices that future education will undoubted- ly be patterned after these innovations. 'Teaching by the use of moving pictures will also be used extensively throughout the schools of the nationg for by this method learning time can be cut almost in half, since pupils can learn by means of the eye as well as the ear. Not only will better methods of learn- ing be adopted. but students will have the use of modern, streamlined scientiflally- equipped school buildings. The buildings will be located on spacious plots with plenty of erea for outdoor gymnasiums, tennis courts. baseball and football fields. and race tracks. Many schools will have their own outdoor swimming pools. Eventually television and radio communi- cation will be used between the classrooms and buildings. Schools will be constructed with cafeterias and fine dormitories and private high schools will be modeled on college principles. Curriculums will be greatly expanded and will promote wider education for the student. Courses which place emphasis on the study of national and international problems will be required of all schools. These courses will assist the citizen of to- morrow to run more efficiently the affairs of the nation and will help to keep democ- racy a living reality. Ouly thru such meas- ures can schools of the future help to make this country a better nation. It is vitally important that future scholars re- ceive liberal education in national and in- ternational problems because education will not only serve to inform our own na- tion but help to establish a better world and peace among nations. V Richard Lycette A Tribute to a Friend .85 This year lloulton High School lost one of its inost outstanding inusic instructors ind teachers. lllr. Ivan Silk'l'lllilll. a grad- uate of llehron Acadelny. the llniversity of Maine, and the National School of Music, has carried out for the past eight years a very successful prograin as director of our hands and teacher of ldnglish in the Junior and Senior lligh Schools. Since 1936, his first year at lloulton, he has steadily huilt up the school's inusie department until today lloulton High School possesses one of the inost outstanding hands in the state. Thru his efficient pro- gram a steady flow of students from the primary grades and Junior lligh have re- placed vacancies in the hands lllildv hy graduating seniors. For the past five or six years Mr. Sherman has attended sununer sessiousat the liniversity of Maine as well as Bates Uollege, and today he is the holder of li. A. and M. A. degrees. Before eoniing to lloulton High. Mr. Sherman held the posi- tion of principal at Alhion lligh School for four years. ln Fehruary Mr. Shcrinan re- linquished his position here to accept the prineipalship of Newport Iligh School. lle is now teaching physics, plane geometry, and algebra in addition to fulfilling his duties as principal. We were very sorry to lose hiin hut. wish hiin lmest of luck in his new position. Richard Lyeette VARSITY BAND Senior Class History lu the fall of 1940 many shy, awkward youngsters entered the halls of Houlton iligh School. Finally, after a long: elapse ot' time, they became used to their new surroundings: but they still held the upper classmen in awe. That first year they e- lected as class officers, for the first three years: Jose Duron, President: Millicent Thorne, Vice President: Robert Burns, Tl'0ll,Slll'0l'2 and Kathleen XV'ilsou, Secre- tary. ln thc sophomore year they lost most of their shyness! ! l That year the last annual ll, H. S. circus t'or the duration was held. The candidates for king: and queen were Phyllis Gray and Francis Skehan. That year most ot' the girls spent their spare time chasing freshman boys. The romances, of course, weren't very steady, cxccpt Freddie's and Kathleen's. In the field of athletics, lluse Tibbetts was shap- ing Grant, Plourde, Byers, York. and Mc- tlaffin into a promising: varsity basketball tcam. The .Iunior year saw many of their boys go into the armed forces. Jim McGaffin. llilly Riley. and Jack Stuart were those who left to take up arms for Uncle Sam, At the end of the year we lost Aubrey Grant. Dorson Plourde, Leo Urafts, and Bud Stewart. York. Byers, Plourde, Grant, and lVlcGaffiu tthe latter as long as he was herel made themselves known on the bas- ketball floor. The romances of that year were interesting: Anne and Gidney, Joyce and---Jack 01' Joe? ?. Verne and Dorene or Joan? ?. Pat and Bill Ford, and Ilarriette and Jim. The class was also well represent- ed in the English Club and Honor Society. Finally, their treasured hopes were ful- filled, and they entered the senior rooms as their proud occupants. The class offi- cers were as follows: President, Larry Woodcockg Vice President, Dorene Larson: Treasurer. Francis Skehang and Secretary, Har1'iette XVatson. Joann Kittredge was voted to be the D. A. R. Candidate, and l.ois Doescher represented ll. H. S. in the annual Spear Speaking Contest. Their Senior Play, Every Family Has One , was successfully presented with an outstand- ing cast, consisting of lflarriette Watson, Lois Doescher. lVladelyn Farr. Joyce Rob- inson, Bernice Porter, Audrey Dunlap, HONOR SOCIETY Dorene Larson, Verne Byers, Jerome Clifford, Robert Smith, Francis Skehan. and Larry Woodcock. This play was ably directed by their beloved teacher, Betty Thomas. The talented songbird, Harriette Watson, as in past years, made the class proud that she was one of them. Their little romances this year included Joann and Verne ,Joyce and Joe, Pat and Larry, Norma and Scotty, and, of course, Jerome and Gloria. After the third ranking period Junior Wise Juniors! The class of '45 is doing its best to uphold that tradition of wisdom. Nearly every organization in the school has members of our class. Oh, we are im- portant-at least we think so. Take the basketball team for instance. What would lt be without our class president, Bob Mc Cormflck, to say nothing of Billy Bernard, Elliott Berman and the lanky Bob MacNair? The junior Speaking 'Contest is always an event. 'This year the contestants were as follows: fit goes without saying that we thought they were goody Tim Donovan, Nydda Barker, Ralph Brewer, Patience Ann Williams, Harold Noyes, Gloria Dow, Donald Feeley, Jane French, Elliott Ber- man and Alma Brown. The alternates were Joyce Cumming and Gerald Campbell. If I am correctly informed, our class has done more in its three years' sojourn in Houlton High to make life interesting for the faculty than any other class that ever passed through its portals. There is Donald Feeley for instance--always coming into class long after the teacher has given him up for lost. Then, too. there is the little matter of keeping him awake once he has arrived. A yeast cake and on alarm clock might help out there. Patience Ann so often uses carbon paper ln the preparation of her lessons, that some one ought to see about getting her a type- writer. Cute glrl, Peggy-lots of poise--and words. Speaking of cute girls, have you heard about the day Joyce Cumming got Margar- the class honor parts were announced as follows: Valedictorian, Harriette Watson, Salutatorian, Marion Brewery and third honor part, 'Teresa Langley' They have had very many good times at H. H. S., and are bidding goodbye with sincere regret. They will always cherish the memories and grand times they have spent within its walls. Norma Jeanne Hallett Notes et Duffy's seat in the third period. Yes, the one in front of Dean Ingraham. Nice boy, Dean, likes lots of air-especially when it is slender, blonde and wears glasses. Speaking of air, did you all see the pleas- ant little breeze that blew into Room 13? Not bad. Not bad at all on the eyes! The commotion you heard down the hall comes from Room 14. It boasts some of the world's champion whlsperers. If you don't think so, just ask Miss Lancaster. We are fine in an argument, too - which side we take doesn't seem to matter much. At least not to Billy Brewer, who can al- ways find something to rave about. A few added attractions from the class are Elliott Berman, who fancies he ls quite a wolf g Phyllis Grant, a real life wolf- us g Joyce Either, a man-hater: Tom Hug- gard, the blond sheikg Miss Whited, a most sophisticated young lady: and of course the love 'em and leave 'em guy, Bob MacNair. :Shall I go on-I could tell you about the-but perhaps I had better not. Many members of our class are in the Armed Forces. The most recent to leave for a life on the bounding deep ls Billy Rush. Grand guy, Billy. Here ends my notes. We are glad that we are Juniors ln Houlton High School, and we hope with a lot of luck and as littlework as possible, to be seniors some day. A. J. B. Sophomores 'The Sophomores have begun to grow up. At least they have entered the Senior Division. In this class of 1946 we have many talented people. Many of them are in the Band, Orchestra, and Glee Club. We must give credit to certain sophomores such as Billy Nightingale, Henry Baulch, and of course to Mrs. Bouncer iDickie Hatchj for being actors. Remember the play Mr, Box and Mr. Cox? It seems that the Sophomore class has its percentage of the current love affairs in school this year. Even Hank Baulch alias TI-IE IMAGINATIONH has one. If you don't know about it, ask Mary Spain. She knows! One Junior lad seems to take a great interest in a sophomore girl. But when asked in H-Club initiation who he thought was the best looking girl in High School he said Joan Kittredge. Are you going to stand for that Joyce? 'The new rom-ance twosome seems to be Nancy Hyde and Vaughn Totman. I wonder what broke the ice around Nancy's heart. She seemed to avoid the boys not so very long ago. Could there have been another man in her love life? Room 17 consisting of all girls has shown what the women can do. They went all out in the Curtis Campaign and made a record in the selling of subscriptions. They also have participated willingly in the bond rallies held at Houlton High School. Con- gratulations girls! There are quite a few sophomores who participate in the Orchestra and Band. Mary iShaw, Marietta Doescher, Mary Spain, Roger Jackins, Joyce Daigle, Beth Judkins, Joyce Leavitt, Jean Lambert, Patricia Clarke, Jackie Hall all take part in these organizations. Oh, yes, we can't forget the former room 14 of all sophomore boys who really did their part and helped H. H. S. put the Red Cross Drive over. Audrey Dunlop Freshmen 'The boys and girls in the Freshman class will soon be sophisticated Sopho- mores. Fresh from the Central Building last fall, these students entered this building as green and gulible Freshmen. Now they are beginning to attain that outer shell of sophistication which labels them future Sophs. Recently the Freshman class elected their class officersg President Paul Miller: Vice President, Donna Beals: Secretary, Mary Skehang Treasurer, Richard Russell. This class has also participated patriot- ically in the purchase of war bonds and stamps. More power to you! I noticed too that the male part of the executive branch of the class is quite ac- tive in many respects, including the love life of a certain eighth grade lassie. If more information is needed about her, ask President Miller. It is also quite the same with Treasurer Russell, who seems to have acquired Jeanette McNair as his little treasure. Or has the treasury been robbed? Congratulations to the Freshman class. They seem to have acquired the patronage of two polished gentlemen of the Senior Class. How do you like having Hank Skehan and Phil Jenkins in your spelling class? Although the contest was a close one. Dick Stanton seems to have snatched the title of Freshman Casanova right out from under the other Freshman boys noses. Better luck next year boys! Audrey Dunlop Organizations The clubs this year are not as numerous as in previous years, but in spite of the many obstacles Houlton High School has managed to retain several of the most outstanding organizations. The Honor .Society is still under the efficient leadership of Mrs. Howe. The thirty members are juniors and seniors who have acquired the rank of 90 or above. The Bi-monthly meetings are of an in- structive nature. The attendance has been interupted because so many demands have been made upon the members to contribute fContinued on Page 281 1: Evelyn Leone Allen Little pitchers have big ears.

HI-Y CLUB 26 1: RED CROSS COUNPIL ORGANIZATIONS promote the interest and advancement ot' ft'ontinued from Page 9, to assembly programs. Hitherto, the Honor Society has raised money for a substantial gift to tl1e school. but this year and last the war demands prohibited contributions of either effo1't or money for purely school benefits. The president the first semester was Verne Byers: the second semester. Richard Lycette. The Girls' Glee Club made its initial appearance at the Christmas Assembly, at which time it was directed by lVlrs. Dorothy Schulman. VVith the mid-year departure of Mrs. Schulman. the club was taken over by lVlrs. Fairley. who has accomplished very admirable work. The Merrymakers. a recently organized swing orchestra, is also under the com- petent supervision of Mrs. Fairley. Their first appearance was a truly successful climax to the senior play on the night of April 29th. Another branch of Mrs. Fairley's depart- ment is the orchestra., consisting of twenty- eight members, who have appeared at Jun- ior Speaking, assemblies, the senior play. music night, and are now preparing select- ions for commencement. The junior and senior division bands are under the direction of Mr. Bean, who is taking the place of Mr. Sherman. It is the aim and realization of both these bands to instrumental music at lloulton High School. At basketball games. assemblies. state mu- sic festivals. and paradeslioulton lligh is represented by these groups. As its name implies, the Junior Division Hand serves as a training place for beginning high school musicians wl1o later become eligible to play in the Senior Division Band. There are about forty members in the Varsity Band and around thirty members in the Junior Band. The English Flub is composed of students who have attained an average rank ot' li or better in English. VVeekly meetings are held under the leadership of Miss Evelyn Kennard, head of the English Department. This year's president, was Joanne Kittredge. The purpose of this club is to stimulate interest in all phases of English and litera- ture. Many novel and interesting programs have been presented by appointed com- mittees. The Hi-Y Club, a branch of the Y. M. C. A., is fortunate in having a full member- ship of about twenty-five members and is carrying on with its usual activities. This year's president was Jerome t'lift'ord, The purpose of this club is to create, maintain. and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character. Lois Doescher ENG'Ll SH CLUB Assemblies 'l'his year's assembly programs have eer- tainly gone over with a bang. Again as in former years, Mr. Lambert started oft' by introducing all the new teachers as well as all the old t'aitht'uls. As is the custom. in the second assembly the llouor Society had its initiation of all the new members with a very impressive candlelight service, In the next assembly Mr. Bean showed us a fcw highlights ot' make-up. In another assembly Mrs. Fraser gave an interesting talk on the handicraft in the Philippines. ln keeping' with the f'lll'lSi.lll2lS season, Miss Adams and Miss Gellerson very skill- t'ully directed an impressive pageant. XVe will not soon forget that one act play entitled Mr, liox and Mr. Fox, which Mr. llean and the former students of Room H so wonderfully presented, as well as Room 11's play, in which Gloria Dow and Alfred Mcllonald were such good little brats. Another highlight of the year was the truth and consequence program in which students as well as teachers had to paythe penalty for questions they could not ans- wer. lu the Bean vs. Gellerson contest Miss Gellerson was defeated. tXVas Mr. Bean guilty of doing a little chiseling?l Many of the members of the Glee Club may want to forget the times they have appeared in public. but their Bach ehorals as well as Dark Eyes and XVhen Day ls Done will not be soon forgotten bythe audience. The boys' H-Ulub had a special assembly in which they initiated all their new mem- bers after they had performed in all the different rooms at various times during the day. On the whole all the programs this year seemed much more interesting than usual: maybe this was mainly due to the fact that most of the performers were either stu- dents or connected with the school. One good example of this was the minstrel show of Room 17's, which provided us with so many laughs. In contrast with this fact though, let's not forget the day when Mrs. Fraser and The gang f1'on1 Room 7 had Sgt. Jerry Brick and three of the Aii Raiders down and again when Sgt. Brick played his return engagement by leading tl1e school in singing. Pat 0'lJonnell VARSITY BASKETBALL TEAM Sports lfecause ofthe war. sports have been. in this school as in all schools. greatly cur- tailed. The only sport that was enjoyed in High School this year was basketball. The team had an average season. losing only four of the eleven games played. Two ot' these were lost to the powerful 'Stearns quintet. Due to graduation and the war, almost all of last year's great team was lost. There were only two letter men back, name- ly. Byers and York. Byers had a very suc- cessful season, winning the James Nason Award for the outstanding lloulton lligh player for the year. York would probably have had a better season if it had not been for an operation he underwent. late in the fall. lint with only those two lettermen and a group of green juniors, coach Peabody worked diligently and turned out a team t'ar beyond anybody's expectations. They almost won the Aroostook League. beating Presque Isle and then journeying to Wash- burn. only to lose up there in an overtime. llernard and Berman. two boys who will play nt-xt year. turned in a very good seo- son right along with Flifford. McNair. and McCormick. The team should have a suc- cessful season next year because only three men are graduating Byers. York. and Clifford. ln Bernard. Berman. Mc-t'ormick, and McNair. under Uoach Peabody's coach- ing. the team will have one of the best of seasons. Much lntra-mural basketball. was also played in school this year. The boys had a swell time. practicing every night. and each team played about twice a week. About one hundred boys participated. and everybody connected was happy.

Well, to start off with a bang, let's start now. We're all wondering why Anne Fraser spends so much of her time in Room 7. Now, don't try to tell us it's to see her Momma. We think it must be Jack Hogan, although Jack Hillman from R. C. I. seems to take the better part of her time. The frequent visits of D. Feeley to Wood- stock show where his heart lies. And who could blame him! Have you seen her? The Junior Class is just full of dream know men, and the Senior girls seem to lt. Look at Teddy, Stan, Bob, Tommy, Dean, And and a few others I could mention. speaking of dream men-why didn't some- body tell me about Ralph Brewer before? A new romance that is blossoming into something is that of Hank and Joan Green. Jean and Roger were that way , but according to all the latest rumors it's Jackie Hall he's dating. Doesn't Jane French know that people can tell her thoughts by her facial ex- presslons, and they don't thank her for them? What's this we hear about Joe G. and Betty Hawkins? Pat had better take Larry as he is, be- cause he just i n't the type to change. Be- sides, Pat, the rest of us like him just the way he ls. Mary Spain and Hank Baulch are really devoted in spite of the rude interruption staged by Paul Benn one Sunday. Have you noticed those long, lingering looks that pass between Harriette and a certain sophomore named Steve? Whatare you going to do about it, kids? Genette and Dick have their little rifts but I wouldn't be surprised if it were a real romance. One would think Bud Mooers and Occy French would settle down a bit and get themselves some women. Verne and Kitty have both got it bad. That was shown by the concern on Joann's face during Verne's illness in March. Dlck Stanton is doing O. K. for a new- comer. He's already clipped the wings of our butterfly. Glenice Boynton. And what about those frequent calls to Phyllis Gray? Phyl Grant is carrying a torch as big as Miss Liberty's' for a certain Bob stationed in California. Isn't Punkie a dream in his Sinatra tie? Joyce and Joe are rapidly filling that hope chest for a June wedding. Not this June, though. Gloria and Romie are among the insep- arable class. Where one goes the other always wants to follow. Dora Shaw and Bobby Scott make a cute Mutt and Jeff romance. Did you know Lois Hovey had a wovely wittle diamond? Who? Sandy, of course. Haven't the girls noticed Lawrence 'Por- ter? P. A. is flashing Millard Fairley's class ring. What about George Russell, Peg? He looks like a good bet from where I'm stand- ing. ' Margaret Duffy can't seem to keep her mind on one man. Who is it this week. Duff, Larry or Dean? Can't figure this :Squeakie and Brough Brough affair out, but it seems to be pro- gressing nicely. Phil and Stan are comomnly known as Wini's Pet Poodles because they follow her around her so much. Did you ever see anything like it? Fred and Kay still together after all these years, VVhat has happened to Dody? He used to get around, but now he's getting a little backward. Are things so smooth as they seem with Bob and Judy? Or would he like to make a break and doesn't quite know how? Laura Gaydosh has created quite a stir in the masculine department. Who is the Vaughn that Dorene Larson talks so much about? And who wants to talk all night? And who wants me to? So I guess I'll ,sign off with a last bit of advice. Don't abuse this privilege of the U. S. O. because-lsn't it fun? Oh, agony! This love business! X Good-bye till another year, Alta Our Faculty OUR FACULTY ' ln the heart of our little, elm-shaded community across the way from the county court house lies Houlton High School, an industrious and conservative New England- ish institution, which educates about eight hundred students each year. Let's wander inside to meet the people responsible for the teaching of these pu- pils. Coming down the steps is Mrs. Howe. She's the one that teaches veni, vldi, vici. Each student that has taken Latin or algebra from this dear lady has learned more than the content of those subjects. Once inside the school we turn to the right. In the first office Mr. Cumming, suprintendent of schools is Houlton, and his secretary, Mrs. Fitzpatrick are busily and steadily trying to improve on the ed- ucational world of the Houlton students, In the next office we are warmly greeted by Miss Miller, more commonly known to the students as Winnie . This is her first year as secretary to Mr. Lambert, and we'll all agree that she's ideal. Here comes Mr. Lambert, our principal, through the door: and you'll have to wait a few mniutes if you wish to speak to him. as you can plainly see by the number of students and teachers already ahead of you. It's always worth your while to get in a few words with Mr. Lambert, though. We're proud of him because he's a real all-around fellah. If any of you younger students are skeptics concerning solid or trig, never fear to tread through scary triangles with him. In room 12 is a new teacher at school, Mrs. Hayes. You never see many frowns in her classes in typing and shorthand. Traveling down to the other end of the hall we meet Mrs. Frazer just outside Room 7. Along with her other classes she has girls' guidance and is dean of the girls. More than that she's one of them and popular with the boys too. Across the hall lives Miss Kennard, senior English teacherg and, by the way she is the supervisor of The North Star . This leaves no doubt in your mind concern- ing her teaching abilities. Miss Gellerson is next door neighbor ln room 8. And, children, be sure to read your Shakespeare. If you are still wondering about the aud- itorium we just passed a while ago, we've had many fine chapels there to be remem- bered always. Mr. Bean has been elected caretaker this year. He is one of this year's new teachers and ver-r-ry versatile. He does everything from leading ,the band to keeping the geometry students tearing their hair. That concludes the ground floor. Upstairs is ruled by that little red-head, Miss Adams, queen of the hall and the north stairway. Across the hall is Miss Lancaster having a confab with some of the senior boys. They really have it in for her, because she's from Washburn. That pleasant, quiet lady, that has so many baffled, even this late in the year. concerning her identity, is Miss Woodward from room 16. She teaches that delicate art of housekeeping. No, my dears, that isn't eggs burning in the home economics room. The culprit be- hind that appalling odor is Mr. Clyde Stin- son, Stinny. He calls himself a chemistry teacher, but I think that it's a disguise, so that he may perfect a secret formula to win track-meets without contestants run- ning. Down in the next room, where all the whistles come from, is Miss Ward, a red- headed colleen that just arrived this year. Across the way fand do we catch him whistling too?J is Mr. iS-harp. What makes you while you work, Mr. Sharp? Tucked up in one of those tiny rooms is Miss Betty Thomas. Now don't you believe good things come in small packages. P. S. She's new this year and is responsible for the senior play. She teaches English and Public Speaking. In the twin room to this one lives Miss Perry, a French teacher. She is new this year too, Through the glass partition, where many an implsh grin has been exchanged, you can see the newest teacher, Mrs. Fairley. I ller winsome s1nile has the students on her side already. She replaces Mr. lvan Sher- man who is now Principal Sherman of Newport High School. The absence of Mr. Sherman is deeply felt at school. He has commanded a respect from his students. including his band members, that few, even teachers. can hope to obtain. l11 the most secluded corner of the up' stairs, is the office of coach Peabody. l'le's the fellow behind the fellow behind the ball. Now for a journey way-way down stairs where many a basket ball game has been won or lost. ln Room 2 we meet Mr. Wood. Besides bringing little potatoes into the world. he mothers chickens. Down the hall. teaching another domestic art. is Miss Rowe. She teaches the girls how to win a man's heart through his stomach. Will you believe it? Boys are learning to cook too! Watch out girlsg your technique may backfire. And what do you know? I ahnost forgot Mr' Van'l'asel, rather Van , l don't. want to do that or he'll feel slighted, and we'll freeze all winter. He keeps the home fires burning. Over in the junior building we pass Mrs. Judkins and Miss Qualey in the hall. Mrs. .Iudkins teaches English and Miss Qualey teaches spelling, literature and supervises the F1xplorer's Club. lncidentally she teaches penmanship too. Palmer Method! In the General science room surrounded by frogs, lizards, and stuff is Miss Wallace. By the way don't speak to her of her bo- tanical specimens as stuff . Miss Tozier is right across the hall and teaches the theories of Enstein to her students. Are we kidding? VVho is it that keeps all the boys happy with hammers and nails? lt's Mr. Mclntyrc down stairs in the manual training room. He's a new teacher this year and already has got things under swing. Up stairs ever-cheery Mrs. t'hnrchill is dean of the upstairs hall and a good gen- eral science teacher. Miss Mcllellan teaches social science this year and very well if you please. She. athough very modist about it., is quite an artist especially with chalk work on the board. Last but not at all least in room 25' is a small silver-haired lady. Mrs. Hannon. She teaches English and mathematics. This is a faculty that long will be re- membered not only for their merits in teaching hilt because they're regular fellows.

Literary ALICIA The sun shone brightly that morning as I stepped from my apartment house door- way, but the sedately clad doorman greeted me in his usual sober manner. Good morning, Mr. Paul, he said as he bowed slightly from the waist. Hello, Fredrix, I returned quite pleas- antly. My chauffeur brought my car to the curb, and I stepped inside its deep, cool darkness. As I rode down Fifth Avenue, my thoughts were not on the interesting panorama that was passing by unnoticed. Iwas thinking of Alicia, her smooth, black coiffeur, her elegant body, and her small, white hands always tipped with a red so deep that in candlelight it seemed almost black. Her lovely face with its finely chiseled features haunted me night and day. I knew I was in love with her. I also knew that her husband was in love with her, but that did not trouble me so deeply as much as the first. Alicia admired me I knew, and I was quite sure that she loved me. I was wealth- y, had a big business of my own, every wo- not luxury, and I was not unattractive to men. The fact that I knew that was conceit on my part, for I had not been par- ticularly lnterested in women before I met Alicia. Even now I could hear her soft, cool voice saying Paul in that delightful way of hers which never failed to set my blood racing. My chauffeur stopped the car ln front of the flower shop, and I stepped out into the glaring rays of the sun. The tinkling bell which rang as I opened the door of the flower shop did not amuse me as it usually did, and the smiling young clerk failed to excite my friendly nature. As usual my eyes wandered to the red roses, and I gave the clerk the money for three dozen. Yes, monsieur, he smiled happily, and they are to go to Madame Verness, non? Qute right, Jacques, they are for Mrs. Verness, but I shall take them myself to- day. Bien, monsieurf' Jacques said as he bowed and hurried behind the counter to wrap the flowers attractively. It was a relief to settle back in the quiet of my car once more, the roses beside me on the seat sending out that faint, delicate fragrance that reminded me of Alicia. Roses were the only flowers I had ever sent her, and I knew she adored them. As the car drew up in frontof Alicia's luxurious mansion, I felt exceedingly anx- ious to see her and hear her voice. I was out of the car almost before it stopped. Alicia's 'personal maid answered the door. and I was much surprised, for usually James, the faithful butler, was on hand to greet me. Come in, Mr. Paul, whispered Ami. I'll get Mrs. Verness. She's greatly dis- turbed about Mr. Verness, sir, He hasn't come home. I entered and passed the roses to the girl. Tell her I am here, Ami, please. The maid hurried up the stairway, and soon I head Alicia's light step on the stairs. Oh, Paul, I'm so frightened, she cried as she hurried to my side, her slim hand extended. I know it's not an unusual thing for Stephan to stay out all night, but he usually comes in sometime during the- morning. It's eleven thirty, and he hasn't even phoned. She moved toward the win- dow and turned her slender back to me.I could see by the steady clasping and un- clasping of her hands that she was sincere- ly upset. He'll surely be along soon, I said, try- ing to ease her anxiety, although I myself was not particularly worried about her husband. I cared nothing for the man. In fact, I rather think I hated him, for he had the thing I wanted most in life-Alicla- and he was constantly tormenting her with his frequent drinking. I should say now, that there was nothing underhanded about the way I was seeing Mrs. Verness. Her husband was aware of her affection for me and was resigned to the fact that we could not be kept apart. For some strange reason the man did not hold it against me. In fact, sometimes the three of us went out for an evening, but Stephen usually ended by becoming terribly drunk. Our relationship may have seemed odd to outsiders, but the situation seemed per- fectly natural for the three of us. V Allcla, you must promise to go to the opera with me tonight. We've been plan- ning on it for ever so long. If Stephen isn't back by that time, it will take your mind off him. After all, my dear, he's a grown man. He can take care of himself. Will you promise? . Of course, Paul, darling, but Stephen surely will be back by then, she answered, turning to me with a troubled look. That evening I called for car. She looked unusually white satin, but I could tell worried about her husband. Stephen isn't back, Paul, she said softly. thing have happened? Alicia in my attractive in she was still Could any- Please stop worrying, Alicia. If anything had happened to him, you'd have been in- formed about it before this. He'll come in bright as ever, and quite normal. However, I had expected Stephen to .have returned by then and began to be a little uneasy myself. To cover this uneasiness, I bent and fastened a huge red rose in Alicia's well-groomed, black hair. The evening went splendidly. The opera was very enjoyable, and Alicia's company always made me contented. Sometimes I thought she had completely forgotten to worry about Stephen, and then I would see the same little expression in her eyes, and I knew she was thinking about him. On our way home, Alicia shattered all doubts I had ever had as to her feeling for me. She confessed that she was very much in love with me and made me very happy. We even began to make plans for the future. As our car drove up the long gravel drive to Alicia's house, we both noticed the light in the study. Stephen must be home, she said with relief. But a we entered the hall, Ami came running to her mistress, her eyes der and Oh, Mrs. Verness, it's Mr. Stephen! He'-s hurt! Allciafs wild eyes sought mine. R O It The doctor at the hospital told Alicia, as she stood white and shaken before him, that Stephen would live. Alicia sat down weakly in a nearby chair. Oh, thank Heaven! she said softly. But I have to tell you, too, Mrs. Verness, that your husband will never see again. The soft tones of the doctor's voice echoed throughout the ghostly waiting room as he told us the details of the accident and the cause of Stephen's blindness. Alicia did not ,hear him. She sat stunned, looking as though she had been slapped. I went to her side and patted her shoulder encourag- ingly. There was nothing I could say. We drove home through the early morn- ing sunshine, still in evening clothes, but neither of us said much. In Stephen's study-and only then-Alicia broke down. Her shoulders shook with sobs, and she would have fallen if I had not steadied her. Oh, Paul, she sobbed. I can't leave Stephen now. He needs me. I can't! I can't! I realized with bitterness in my heart that she was right. 'I know. But I want to be with you, Paul. I know, dear, and I want you to be. It's not right, but I can't leave Stephen. He'1l be so helpless now. IS-he sobbed quiet- ly for a moment and then- You'd better go, Paul, she said in a strange, strained voice. I kissed .her gently and went into the hall. It was over. There was nothing more to be said. I knew I had lost Alicia for- ever by some strange, cruel trick of fate. Then as I walked down the hall and picked up my hat and coat, I .heard a sharp re- tort. .then another! Fear gripped my heart! I reached the study door. Alicia was just as I had left her, seated at Stephen's desk. In one hand she held the red rose I had given her for her hair. In the other was Stepfhen's ugly revolver, which was still smoking. On her outstretched arm traced a thin, red line of blood on the white satin of her sleeve. H. L. W. A PERFFEHCT WINTER EVENING Feathery sprites of snow drifted lazily down, covering the hard, frozen earth with a wet, gleaming blanket. The air was filled with minute crystals, swirling gently with the wind. Far off beyond the star- crested hills came the eerie howl of a coyote, echoing and re-echoing among the wooded peaks. Mingled with it were the merry voices of children, returning from skating. and the gay ring of steel blades on the ice. The moon in stately robes of silvery-blue peeked from behind a puffy cloud, as if to say, God bless you all. I Dorene Larson TEACHER WAS SO NICE It was late afternoon, and the sinking sun cast its last glowing rays over the vast expanse of ice and snow. On a hill. its door facing the sun, sat a small, old- fashioned Canadian schoolhouse. Inside, even the smallest child felt a strange air of tension that hung over the countryside like a forboding cloud. Perhaps it was that this was the last day of the winter session, and for one whole week the children could romp and play in the firmly-packed snow. Somehow, little Pierre could not quite ex- plain the funny sensation that took hold of him, making hisrpulses tingle and his blood pound. To his schoolmates, he was just ol' stupid Pierre , but not so to his be- loved teacher. The very first day, she had taken his hand in hers and, bending be- side the .small boy, had said in a sweet, gentle voice, You mustn't be afraid, Pierre. You're going to like school. And he had. But only because up in front at her im- mense desk sat Teacher, smiling encourage- ment at him. Now he felt afraid for her- or was it fear? He didn't quite know, his brain seemed muddled today. His keen ears heard, far off in the dis- tance, the low .steady drone of an airplane. But what was it doing 'way up here? As it grew louder, almost filling the room with its roar, the children left their seats and dashed to the windows. Pierre squeezed in beside Joseph and looked out eagerly. It was a. plane, circling low over the school. As Teacher's voice reached their ears, saying Children! in a remonstrative tone, they turned and reluctantly filed back to their seats. But now Teacher had run to the window, her blue eyes glowing with some inner joy, her smooth cheeks als pink as her gay blouse. Suddenly the door was roughly pushed open, and, framed against the background of shimmering snow, stood a tall, young man wearing an aviator's uniform. His face was strong and tanned and his blue eyes searched the room eagerly. Teacher, with a sudden, strangled Cl'y. was running across the room, her arms outstretched, crying Tex! over and over again. Then she was in his arms, tightly crush- ed against the cold leather of his jacket. and the warm magic of his love was en- gulfing her, More so than the others, Pierre was amazed at this turn of events that sudden- ly upset his rosy dreams. For a moment there was no sound in the room except the ticking of the clock and the snapping of the fire in the big stove. Teacher turned and, still holding tightly to the young a- viator, said in a voice vibrant with unshed tears, Children, this is my husband. Silence fell again, while the children stared, round-eyed. Everyone knew the story of Teacher's husband, who had crash- ed some time ago and been reported miss- ing. Now he was here, in this very room! Pierre rose to his feet, and walked un- steadily down the aisle. Stoppting before the young man, he put out his grimy hand and said very gravely, How do you do, husband. Teacher began to laugh shakily, and the youngnman joined in. Hello, there, he said in a funny voice and looked at the girl at his side. She smiled at him, and Pierre felt left out-but only for a moment. Teacher folded him in her arms, hugging him tight against her. At this display of emotions, the children rose of one accord and flocked around the three, their voices rising higher and high- er in their excitement. Later, when Pierre trudged down the icy road, one hand reverently clutching the box of candy Teacher had given him, he thought over the events of the afternoon. Of course, he was sorry Teacher was leav- ing, but, still, he wanted 'her to be happy. Then, too, as a going away gift, she had given hfim the box of candy all for him- self. Teacher was so nice. That strange feel-ing he had experienced earlier in the day had vanished, and in its place, he felt a warm glow of satis- faction and love around his childish heart. Dorene Larson W JUNIOR DIVISION BASKETBALL NORTHWEST POACHERS XVe were going along Indian file, with nie breaking the way and Uncle George and Cousin Joe following. As we scuffed along through the soft white snow, my thoughts went back to the many vaca- tions we had spent together in our North woods camp. As usual, .loe's thoughts turned to his stomach. Boy, I could eat a raw horse right now. When do we eat? he shouted ahead at us. As soon as we finish this trap line. replied Uncle George, who was our advisor. NVe turned around a bend and started clown the hill to our last, trap. There should be something in this one, said Uncle George, as we came to the trap by the side of the pool. 'l'here-fall! what's this? he asked in a puzzled tone as we all gathered round. The ice covered :pool was swept clear of snow, and in the middle was our spring trap. Wolverine,'- muttered Joe. No 'tain't, shouted Uncle George as he looked closer at the spring trap. This was done by poachersf' VVe stood around staring at the trap, and I had a chill running up and down my spine that was not caused by the cold. How do you know? Joe finally asked. Because the imprint of his mitten is here on the bank where he laid it, and if a wolverine had done the job. the trap would have been bent. Uncle George thought a minute and then said, The reas- on there are no footgprints is because he kept to the cleared ice. .lust then there was a snap behind us, and as we turned around, we were met by the muzzel of a revolver. There were three men who, we discovered right off. weren't poachers but German prisoners of war. VVe could tell by their gutteral accents almost as well as hy tl1e blue uniforms with the large P. W. printed on them. Then I re- membered about the escape of three Ger- mans from a camp ten miles west of there, Well tarnation ding, shouted Uncle George, how-- Silence, the leader snapped as they started taking our matches and compasses with much delight. Now take off your jackets that we may put them on, he or- dered. But first, we must have something to eat. Have you anything with you? No, I said, and .Ioe nodded his head. Suddenly Joe cleared his throat. Please, sir, he said in a pleading tone, I know where there is some fish. I glared at him, and I saw Uncle George's moustache quiver too. I couldn't believe Joe would do such a thing. Joe, I began, and then I saw him wink. I shut up because Joe does have an idea once in a while, fat-headed though most of them are. Fish, the leader cried, in this ice and snow. How do you know where there are fish? Because we were going fishing after we finished the traps, replied Joe, as I thought of the fish traps we had along with us. Fishing, come then, show us the fish and quickly. But none of your tricks. Fortunately, we had on warm under- clothes, but even so, we were none too warm without our jackets. We set off through the woods toward a lake about a mile away. Joe set a wicked pace. I could see that the Germans weren't holding up any too well. Finally, we came to the lake. These are the traps, said Joe. We will set them now. Very good, said the leader. Two of the Germans kept watch over Uncle George on the shore while Joe and I took the traps out on the lake, closely followed by the leader. Just as we started out, Joe whispered, Follow my lead and don't aks questions. Our success lies entirely on the Ranger's plane going over here at the usual time. As we got out on to the lake, Joe said, I'll chisel and you set. When the first hole was ready, I started to set the trap, but Joe took it from my hands. You see, he explained to the leader, we set the sticks in the ice with the red flag standing up. When a fish bites, the flag starts waving hack and forth. Then we come out and pull it in. Of course this was just the opposite from the correct way, but Joe gave me another wink, sol said nothing. I followed him all over the lake until we had the last trap set. In all my life, I had never seen Joe work so hard. We then returned to the shore to a fire which they had forced Uncle George to build. Suddenly I saw Joe's eyes'widen, and a second later I knew why. Faint in the distance came the hum of a plane. The Rangers were returning to this base. The Germans heard it too, and the leader gave a start. Himmel, he muttered, then he relaxed. They will think we are but silly fisher- men. As the hum grew louder, the leader drew his revolver. Not a move, he called. Sit here by the fire. I lost hope as the plane swept over and on to the south. Then suddenly it banked and swept down towards us. He is landing, cried the leader leaping to his feet. He stared at the plane for a split second, but that was enough. Joe sprang from a crouch and folded the lead- er ln a very pretty tackle. Then I leaped in upon him also as I heard Uncle George with the other two. At about that time the plane came to a skidding stop, and the pilot jumped out holding a tommy gun in his hands. A few minutes later, three firmly tied Germans were awaiting their trip back to rprison. Great work, boys, the Ranger told us, as he squatted by the fire. I saw your tip-ups on the lake. I gave them the once over, because I like fishing myself. Then I noticed all the flags were up. This made me curious, but when I saw they were set in the form of a Nazi swastiker, I decided I'd better drop down and investigate. Also, I have been sent out on the hunt for these escaped prisoners myself. Good old Joe! To look at him you would- n't think he had a brain in his head. Come on, Joe said, let's see if we've caught any fish. Clair A. Longstaff THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A PENNY The first thing I was conscious of was a strange crowded feeling. I learned later that this was caused by my many brothers and sisters, who were with me in a large tray ln the United States Mint. Because I was so young, I soon became tired: so I promptly went to sleep. I awoke in strange surroundings, a bank in New York City. Although I wasn't alone, my brothers and sisters were gone. I never saw them again, but I heard later that my youngest brother had helped to buy a war bond. One day, when I was but six weeks old, I went forth into the world for the first time, accomrpanied by a prominent business man. I changed my residence at a news- stand. My new master was a young, shabbi- JUNIOR DIVISION ORCHESTRA ly dressed news-boy. Ile held me so tight in his dirty. little. chubby fist that I near- ly smothered.

After remaining with my friends for one halt' days, I was in twenty-four and one of the tills in the grocery store. 'l'he other occupants ot' my apartment were colored like myself. One morning I awoke to find myself in the crowded purse of an old woman.

Ilarold Noyes A PAGE FROM THE DIARY OF SUSIE A TRUE STORY Gosh. it was good to get out of the dark cellar and up into the warm kitchen this morning. It had been rather cold down there, so I sat in front of the stove and lapped my .paws for a few minutes before going upstairs to wake up my mistress. The big, steep stairs are always quite a climb for a little kitten like me, so I stopped, as usual, to get n1y breath back. There is the loveliest long chain on a lamp there in the upstairs hall: and if I stand chair. I can just to stop there and on my hind legs in a reach it. It's great fun bat the chain for a few minutes while l'm resting. Well. I trotted bedroom and hopped up on the bed. Yes, she was still asleep, like an old lazybonesg so I .planted myself on the pillow beside her head and waited and waited. Then I began to be impatient and started to purr quietly. Even that did not wake her. I scratched the pillow and made all sorts of little kitty noises, but I could not make her open her eyes. Finally I turned and start- ed back across the big bed. All of a sudden swish! and there I was--all rolled up in the into my n1istress's bed clothes. Of course, I knew it was com- ing because it's a sort of game we play every morning, but it never fails to make me jump and my eyes get big and round. It's fun while she's dressing, chasing stockings and shoe laces all over the room. Today I even got up on the dressing table and played with the little tubes of lipstick and the bobby pins. This morning she put perfume on my head. I loved it because it smelled like my mistress, and I was proud of it all day long. We trailed downstairs together and went into the kitchen. My mistress sat down at the table to eat lher breakfastg but as I am not allowed near the table, I contented myself with trying to scratch the painted flowers off the linoleum. After my mistress had gone to school, I had my breakfast with my mother. She's a cat, too, only bigger than I am. We got along fine this morning, but we don't usual- ly because I tease fher a lot. She 'is eleven years old, and sometimes old cats are very impatient with lively kittens like me. Of course, the next thing I did was go out of doors to romp in the yard. Most of the time I played on the porch, because there are two big dogs down the treet that have chased me before, and I don't like to take chances. Chances or not, Iwas in for it today, again. Before I knew it, there they were! I was so frightened I could hardly move. Summoning all my strength, I shot up a nearby tree. My mis- tress's mother came out of the house when she heard the noise and told the dogs to go away. Now, I had never been up in a tree before andl was so scared of the dogs I didn't realize that I had gone up too far. However, there I was, and I had to get down. I had often watched the squirrels in the trees and thought I'd like to have their fun, so I picked this as my ideal opportunity. I took a flying leap through the air to a branch nearby. I guess I wouldn't make a very good squirrel, for I went crashing down right to the ground- into the mud, too! I didn't hurt myself be- cause I landed on my feet-cats do that, you know-but I was muddy, and when I got into the house I had to wash myself all afternoon and wasn't even allowed on the couch for my afternoon snooze. Hadn't I been punished enough without that? ' Between lappings I hopped up into the sink and watched the water dripdown and run down the spout, something I've 'been A42 doing a lot lately. Then my mistress came home from school. I wanted to tell her about my experience, but of course I couldn't. Somtimes it's very trying not to be able to tell my mistress what I want or even just talk to her. But then she picked me up and held me on my back in her arms, and I went to sleep with my paws folded and forgot about my trying day. Before supper every evening my mis- tress starts to do some strange thing called homework with books and pencils and pen and ink and paper. It's sort of another game we play while she does that. Today same as usual. I got up on sat right in the middle of was reading so she would we played the the table and the paper she pay some attention to me. Then she began to whistle. I hate whistling because it hurts my head. I tried and tried to make her stop by rubbing my 'nose against her chin and putting my paws on her face. She knew she was teasing me, but I didn't really mind because I knew she would pick me up and kiss me, and th-en when the home- work was done, we would play all evening long. Harriette Watson THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS 'Twas the Night Before Christmas The stockings were hung by the chim- ney with care. Yes, the stockings were hung by the chimney 'mid the laughter of little Jim and Nancy. Christmas was always such a happy time. But would it be this year? Just before little Jim pulled the covers over his tousled head, he had said, Mom- my, won't Daddy come home for Christ- mas? The coldness of the subject seemed to pass right through Martha like a steel knife, but she smiled and comforted him with, No, Jimmy, Santa couldn't bring Daddy this year, but it won't be long be- fore he'll come home, and we'll have the best Christmas ever. Aifter that Martha tiptoed down the stairs and slipped in Jim's favorite chair. It still smelled of that old pipe that he just wou1dn't throw away. It was easy to pre- tend to be brave, but it wasn't so simple now all alone. Where was Jim? Sweating on the dry desert sand? Wading through filthy, slimy swamps? Captured? Dead? Visions of 'Christmases ran through Martha's head. Jim, laughing and sneaking about like an overgrown child, was putting toys under the tree. Christmas meant so much to him. Suddenly Martha began to laugh and laugh and laugh - - What is the matter, mommy, huh, mommy? Jimmy looking like a wee elf was peaking around the door at her. Martha pulled herself together. Jimmy, what are you doing up? Is it Christmas yet, mom? M-artha smiled, How silly she had been. What would Jim think? There was still a -Christmas. Faith and hope were yet strong in little Jlmmy's heart. There would always be a Christmas just as long as there was a twinkle in a little boy's eyes, and the love for it in man's heart. Just as long, too as there was the spirit in man to fight for his ideals of Liberty and Justice for all.

Elva Sweet AFTER THE MIDNIGHT SNACK About two o'clock on a certain Sunday morning, a car pulled up in front of a house. A voice was heard to say, Well, goodnight, it was fun, but boy am I tired! The car started with a roar of the engine and a bang of the exhaust that would have wakened everybody in the neighborhood had they not been used to such noise. Allex staggered up the walk and entered the house. I-Ie had been to the weekly Sat- urday night dance at the town hall where Big Joe's orchestra furnished the music. Gosh, am I hungry! I'll see if there is anything to eat, he said as he entered the kitchen. -iAfter looking in the pantry and then in the refrigerator, he found a half an apple pie, achocolate cake, milk, sandwich-spread and some of his mother's fine nut bread. Ah, he thought, a nice big sandwich of mayonnaise, cabbage, cheese, lettuce, balogna, and tomatoes with catsup on top would be just the thing to eat before going to bed. Having devoured five of such combina- tions, half of the 'pie and cake and having listened to the 1-atest jazz bands, he de- cided he would go to his room. He threw his clothes on the floor and lay down. Sleep came easily to his nerve- racked body. Suddenly he was leading Big Joe's dance band in the latest hit of the week , Solid Jackson Solid. The music was loud, and the drum beat out the rhythm, while the three Joes sang. Turning towards the audience now half dead with the solid rhythm, he was startled to find the people with heads of balogna, cheese, cabbage, and flettuce. He rubbed his eyes in amazement and looked again. The same thing greeted him, only in the background pink elephants were dancing to the tune of The Irish Washer Woman. It was all very confusing. Glancing back at the band, he found the players changed. The trombone players had heads of don- keys: the trumpetens had the heads of mad bulls: the clarinettists were ele- phantsg the pianist and the drummer were wolves, while the bass viol player had the head and neck of a giraffe. All these figures seemed to blurr, then to become clear, then to turn green, blue, red, and then appeared to whirl around and around with ever increasing speed. The dancers stopped: the band played louder and louderg the hep cats beat out S-ollid Jackson Solid with their 1 hands while slowly advancing toward Alex.

He seemed to gain in speed as the crowd came nearer. He dashed back and forth, the band played louder and louder: the crowd was swinging and swaying on the edge of the stage. He must get away. Alex in final desperation gave a terrific puall on the door, then fell exhausted against it. The door opened, and he real- ized th-at he had been pulling the wrong way.

Francis Titcomb TABITHA'S JOURNEY Tabitha Green, In her washing machine, Started on a trip to the moon: Off she flew, Right into the blue, Humming a gay little tune. Dorene Larson TWO SOLDIERS WHO HAD FAITH The steady boom, boom, of the guns was heard in the distance, and blinding flashes of llghlt could be seen in the dawn. There came a faint drone which grew louder un- til the bombers could be seen. Dropping their bombs, they turned back whence they had come. A German shepherd dog with a Red Cross band around his middle started out from the field hospitall. He was headed for the battle-field. Butch's job was to find a wounded soldier, tear off h-is name tag, and run like hell back for help. He ran on and on and on. He passed dead bodies and broken guns. He passed a ruin that had once been a heavy artlllary gun. He passed a Red Cross ambulance that had been bombed. The driver was in the ditch-dead. Butch cou1ldn't stop here. He had to reach the battle field before day- light. He pasesd the third line. Some of the men called to him, but he didn't stop. Reaching ithe second line he stopped and drank some mfuddy water from a half filled shell hole, then he started again at full speed for the front line. Bullets were whining and zipping all a- round him. An occasional shell burst near him, and he stopped only until the smoke and the dust had cleared enough so he could see to go on. A-s he passed a machine gun nest full of dirty, sweaty soldiers, he heard somebody say, 'Who in hell let that dog 1loose? He ran out from the brush to the battle field. He lay down on his belly and crawled to a motionless body near by-anly to find the soldier dead. He heard a moan on the right and turned and crawled in the direct- ion the sound had come from. He reached an American soldier, who was covered with blood and dirt. The soldier opened his eyes and looked up at the dog. Butch, lt's you. It's you! Butch looked down into the freckled face of his former master, Bob. The dog wagged his tail in delight. He licked Bob's hand and whined. :Suddenly the hand went Limp. Bob had lost consciousness. Butch seemed bewildered for a moment, but only a mom- ent. He tore off the nametag from over the 'left pocket, as he had done so many times before. Taking one last look at Bob, he turned and started back for help at the first line. A gun boomed in the distance and a shell came screeching toward him from the enemy lines. Two days later at the field hospital two soldiers lay dying. One was a freckled face boy of twenty: the other, a German shep- herd dog. Nobody knew how Butch had done it. The Jap shell had practically killed GLEE CLUB him there on the battle field. but he had managed to reach the machine gun nest. which he had passed earlier, before collaps- ing. The soldiers had called for litters. The stretcher-bearers had taken both Butch and Bob back to the field hospital. The doctors and corpsmen had worked hard over both soldiers. Butch was lying on some empty sand bags at the foot of Bob's cot. Bob opened his eyes and called feebly, Butch, Butch, where are you? Come're boy. Butch! Butch! The Major, looking on, nodded to the corpsmen, who picked up the dog and laid him on the bed. Bob lifted his hand to Butch's head and said. I knew you wouldn't let me down. Butch. I knew you'd hear me and come. Butch raised his head in a final effort and licked the soldier's hand. There were two sighs united as one. and life was over for two soldiers who had promised on the station platform back home that they would meet again before they died.

Our h11mor is much richer than that of most of the other nations of the earth. English humorists admit that our humor has something in it which their own does not possess. lt is t'ull of life and vis tality and expresses the mirth of our com- mon people. pioneers. woodsmen, fisher- men, sailors, farmers, and laborers. 'l'he first examples of American humor date back to the Revolution. in which soldiers of the Vontinental Army joked. played pranks on one another, and sang such humorous songs as Yankee Doodle Dandy . Humor was also a very important t'actor in the building and the settling of the West, 'Felling jokes around the camp- fire vras about the only entertainment the pioneers could afford themselves after a hard day's travel over the prairie. The telling of such tall stories as The Adven- tures ot' Paul Bunyan is distinctly New England and shows well the imaginative genius of the American people. American lmmor has flourished during war. peace. depression, and strife and has been greatly enriched by each new nation- al experience. Great men like Lincoln and XVill Rogers have used puns and jokes which have caused these men to be loved by the American people. Une of the lnost famous jokes that came out of World XVar l was that in which General Pershinz: stated The Lord has given us two ends one to think with and one to sit with. XVhether we win or whether we lose this great conflict depends upon the simple fact 'Heads we win: tails we lose. Such humorous sayings as this have served to enlighten the American nation even in its darkest hours. llumor, as we know it today, exists everywhere. One cannot turn on the radio, or go toainovie, but what he sees examples of humor. It is as much a part of our daily and national life as is eating or sleeping and will continue to remain so as long as the American people enjoy the freedom and liberties that they have today.

Summer folks were pretty hard to understand, but the kids were alll right. Take this youngster. for instance. His people were Van Arlens from Philadqlphia, and his older sister-Lord above. she needed a tanning. Seventeen and the airs she put on! The natives are just too quaint for words! Natives, huh. 'I'he only plaee slit-'d seem native to would be one ot' those night elnb places in the eity. Shed he no good to anybody in time ot' trouble. that feather- b1'ain. 'Spose that after Jimmy grew up and went to eollege he'd be like that. too. lt'd be a shame, for he was sueh a niee little youngster. Now what would he tell the littile nipper that he'd be interested in? He'd never in this world understand about Clipper ships. seudding over the water with their huge white sails gleaming in the sun. glinting' through the spray. Paddlewheelers, steamships, Diesel engines and now airplanes had displaeed sails, but 110 meehanieal eontrivanee eould ever sur- pass them forsheer beauty'-and hard work! Four-masters took strong men, real sailors, to handle them: no weakling would ever round the Horn. Yep, the old raee of men was dying out. People were def.:eneratinf:-- no hardship to temper the steel in their characters. The old master sailor sighed regretfully. VVhat,eha thinking about. t'ap'n Jed? You sure look thoughtful. Just mooning about the good old days, FARM SHOP but that ain't getting a story told. now. is it? Well, l'ill tell you something my t'ather told me, something that happened when his Ql'ilIlllf1llll0l' had eommand of his first ship. You see , he eontinued. after the Ameriean Revolution. the Frenell people beeame aroused and overthrew their syse tem of government.---This too deep for you. Jimmy? NVQ-l, not yet, anyhow. ls it about war. all guns and things? Not exaetly. but of the things war does to people . And the old man sighed. think- ng ot' his son lost in the battle of Vhateau Thierry--in the war to end all wars. Anyhow, Jimmy, it all started the way it did here in Ameriea. The Royal family was very extravagant. partieulanly the Queen, Marie Antoinette. On that aeeount taxes were extremely heavy, and the eommon people had only the bare necessi- ties ot' lit'e, while at Court the luxury was amazing. The people grew more and more upset, and there were a great many riots. Things were worse there in France than they had ever been in Ameriea. The French people had been held down and abused so long that a single breath of freedom seemed to madden them. When a thing like that gets going. it's well nigh impossible to stop it. The Royal family was seized and put in prison: so were countless numbers of their sympathizers and friends. The fault of the taxes and the had living con- ditions wasn't entirely that of the King and Queen, They had no more idea about man- aging a country than you have about man- aging a schooner. The people didn't real' ize that, of course, so Louis XVI. Marie Antoinette, his poor frivolous wife. and their two ehildreu had to take the blame. Someone had to, and weren't the King and Queen the logical ehoiee? Many people here in the United States sympathized with them. and elaborate plans were made. Much money was spent in order to help them escape. Here in VViseasset a house was built, in hopes that they eould be brought, here to safety. I think you've seen the place: they call it the Marie Antoinette House. Unfortunately both the King and Queen were exeeuted before help arrived. Vl'hat happened to the c'hildren'?' .Iimmy cried anxiously. The princess was kept in prison almost a year and a half: but t'inally she was allowed to go to Austria. where her mother had eome from.

Sadly he rose, dusted himself off. and dutifully followed his mother to the waiting car. Captain Hanson told the seagulls that were wheeling over the harbor that he saw what the villagers meant by pitying Jimmy so. But just the same, Jimmy was and would be a lot better off than the poor little Dauphin ever had been. Patience Ann Williams JOURNEY FOR ALL They came slowly up the road through the colorless dawn like shadows left 'be- hind by the night. There was no motion in their bodies, and yet their feet scuffed up dust that settled behind them as quickly as it wa-s raised. They lifted their eyes with each step they took, peering toward the horizon for the first red rays of the sun. For when those first rays of dawn ap- peared, all these weary souls were to have their first hazy view of their new home in which they would live forever. They had scuffed on for so long, it seemed. They were of many kinds-these people who had been so unprepared for this sudden journey, For you see, these souls had been quietly summoned to Heaven. There were no tears, however, in their weary eyes. Every one knew and realized that such a feeling was not to be had. At the end of the group was a small boy struggling vainly to keep up with the rest, but he had crutches, and they made travelling so slow. He had been such a healthy little person for the first years of his short life. Then came the accident. It was a friend's automobile which had borne down on him that sunny day in midsummer. Oh, well. Why think of it now? After that, there had been much suffering, and then he had been called here to stay for- ever. On one side of this moving group a bent old man was plodding. He was thinking of his family left at home. He could see his small white-haired wife sitting at home dozily dreaming away. His two grown daughters were not there now, but he could picture them as little girls a long while ago in their long white nightdresses climbing the stairs for bed. He was well satisfied. What a good family! Then there was the soldier moving along with the rest. He was only a young man, but such is war. It takes away many of the youngest and best. He had known it was coming sometime. It had to. He had been lucky too many times. He wasn't complaining, but it would have been nice to see home just once more. lSo it is. Yet we must live on, ever won- dering and ever searching. For in the end we too must tread that holy way to live in the House of the Lord forever. Nancy Hyde Too BAD Well, Jim, what do you think of this place now? Is it like you thought it would be? There aren't any girls in sarongs like the Dorothy Lamour movies, but the palm trees and the moon are the same. It isn't very romantic here with only a handful of your men and a countless number of Jap snipers. It gets on your nerves, doesn't it? You are the only person for quite some distance, All you can hear is your own footsteps and your own breathing. It's not very cozy knowing that you make a perfect target for any handy sniper. You walk up and down this beach, back and forth, waiting and listening for some strange sound. Once in a while you hear a noise, only to find out that it is a bird or a monkey: then you laugh. It isn't a laughing matter be- cause it might be something more the next time. You are tired of this whole thing any way, aren't you? Why should you spend your best years here on this island? You should be getting an education and having a good time, but here you are--walk- ing this damn beach. Well, Jim, let's go backg maybe we can find out why you are here. Your dad was a great guy. He ran the corner drug store and many a time you stood behind the soda fountain mixing a super sundae. Wou-ldn't you love to have one now? You wonder what dad is doing? First aid, I bet. In his last letter he said he was an air raid warden. Guess the folks back home realize that there is a war on. Mom? The best girl in the world. What would you do without her? She kept you out of all sorts of scrapes and made you wear boots on rainy days. God bless her. She's writing you a letter now. She makes a swell picture, sitting there at the desk where you did your homework so many times, Her hair is turning grey, and she's getting a little older: but that makes her all the more beautiful. That kid sister of youns--she should be still wearing her hair in plgtails. Instead she goes out with service guys. Say, she's only two years younger than you, and you aren't any old man. You're only nineteen. That's hard to believe-you feel so much older after what you've seen and been through. Well, Jim, in order to sum this all up, I'd say you have a darn nice family backing you up. Oh, by the way, remember the girl across the street? What was her name? Gloria, You can't forget that one, can you? She was the nicest name on your list-so nice that you asked her to walt for you. She Writes two letters a day, and I've seen you eager- ly waiting for your name to be called. Even your mum's letter had to wait. A year ago today you entered college, September 7th, 1941. That sure was a big dayg all the folks and Gloria were down to the station to see you off. College was swell, and all the guys were regulars. You were sitting on top of the world then. Three months later brought an incident that changed your life and many other lives, On that' fatal day of December the Japs plunged your world into one of its bloodiest fights in history. Were you going to sit there and watch this happen to your country? No, you were one of the first to enllst. From there you went to camp and learned all the things an infantry man has to. You received the rating of a corporal and could hardly wait to get home to show the folks and Gloria. You dldn't go home, you came right to this place. You were discouraged before you even got here. But let me tell you something, Jim. The marines had a hard time to get this island. A lot of American blood was shed. Boys just you going to let because you are like you died here. Are these guys down, just tired of the war? No, Mr. Infantry, you will give lt all you've got-die, if necessary. I've given you the reason for your being here on this God-forsaken place. You know what it is now, don't you? You are fight- ing for Mom, Dad, and Sis, not to mention Gloria. You are fighting for what you and othens believe ln. You aren't doing this alone: so don't feel sorry for yourself. Millions of guys just like you are here and in places much worse than this. They are all fighting and dying. It must be a good cause if all these guys are for it. Remember all your dreams? You plan to go back and marry Gloria and have one or two little Glorias or Jlms. Yours will be a little white cottage with roses and vines all over the place. That will really be swell. Thatls what you are fighting for. Did you hear that noise? It came from that clump of bushes. Don't go too near, Jim. DON'T! ll l S 1 Well, son, you were brave, but what good did it do you? What good ls it doing any one? That would have been a swell home you and Gloria were going to have. I wish you could have had it. Lois Whlted -il... lNT'ERRfUPTlON UPON WEARINESS It is a peaceful little scene which only those who have tramped long, weary miles through the forest are able to glimpse. The first thing that is noticed when one enters the clearing is the huge trees, tower- ing giants of the woodland, their branches stretching ever up as if trying vainly to reach the sky. The ground is covered with a soft, spongy carpet of dark, rich moss so untouched-looking that it hardly seems possible that anyone hed ever stepped on or ventured forth on its featherlike surface. Occasionally some small animal is seen scam-pering quickly across the clearing The birds wing freely to and fro chirping as if their little hearts would burst with happiness. The setting sun, casting its long, golden spears, is magnificent. It streams through the branches of the trees and makes every- thing bright with its magic. In truth, the Lord himself appears to be standing in the very center, his arm-s outstretched and his calm, smiling face approving all things to be seen. Nancy Hyde Verse INSPIRATION Sometimes when I sit a-dreaming Little whispers come to me, Telling all about the wonders God has here for us to see. Looking up, there are the heavens Blue and rose, such gorgeous hues. Then beside me there's the brooklet Singing songs unequaled, too. Trees there are for shade and beauty, While below a carpet green Irs sprinkled here and there with flowers Fit to offer any queen. Each ls here, and for some purpose In God's great all perfect plan. Then must I be up and doing. For He placed me here--a man. Joyce Robinson Cl-llLD'S PRAYER OF PEACE Dear God, When daddy comes home from putting out that fire that burns in the world today, Let all colors of people gather about and join hands tn a friendly peacelike way. We'll all be good sisters and brothers then and help each other in work and play. We shall keep only little fires then to toast marshmallows and be gay. Lois Hall TO MRS.

So we all strive to do our best, But how we miss our Saturday rest!! Lucy Drake THE CRUCIFIXION Judas betrayed my Lord For thirty pieces of silver. He gave Him to the priest's men That they might crucify Him. They led Him through the streets Up where three grim crosses stood, Away to the 'Cross of Cavalry, Away to die for me. And when at noon a darkness fell And covered all the earth, . 'Twas then that they realized They had crucified their Lord. They took Him from the Cross, And laid Him in a tombg But my dear Lord arose again And ascended soon to Heaven. My Jesus reigns in Heaven, He waits there now for me. He's building me a mansion In the halls of eternity. A Ruth Womm THE ANGLEWORM'S CONVERSATION A squiggley little angleworm Said to his friend one day, Pray, tell me, little lambikins, What makes you wiggle that way The wiggling worm just chuckled And opened h-is mouth to say, Why, didn't you know, my friend, Angleworms are made that way Dorene Larson IT'S SPRING YOU KNOW The earth is waiting 'Neathblanket of snow, For its pul-se to start beating It's spring you know.
