Now as we are about to graduate we realize what Manning High has meant to us. As freshmen we looked upon the seniors as lucky beings having many privileges, above all of finishing school that year. Take heed freshmen! As each year went by and we came nearer our last year, our comradeship became closer and our school dearer until now, when we have attained our purpose, we dread commencement week — our last week together at Manning. We have worked and studied but that is not all we have done. How many times have we been sent out of class? Played jokes on each other or the teach- ers? How many socials have we held? How many times have we been kept after school for doing things forbidden? We cannot count them. Who of us can forget the strike for one session, the County Fair, the Eng- lish Club Play, our Junior Prom, the Senior Play and ’its rehearsals, “Captain Crossbones,’’ the Winter Carnival, the great feeling of joy when we have beaten Manchester or Danvers, our Hallowe’en Party, the Kid Social and our commence- ment week. “ We are leaving. Others will take our places and do our work. School spirit will grow year by year. But may we always keep with us the Manning spirit — the spirit of fighting though beaten, of never being beaten for keeps, and of laughing at trouble — the spirit that wins. GIRLS’ ATHLETICS In Manning, girls’ athletics have not had much attention in the past years, but they are more and more coming to the front. We have not much chance for basket- ball in high school because of our lack of a gym, but it seems to me that base- ball would find a ready place with all the girls so that we might get a good team. Other schools have taken up girl’s athletics, and some are handicapped by lack of gyms as we are. High schools in the West are especially interested in athletics and the girls take an active part in them. They have gyms with every high. Why do we lack girls’ ath- letics in the East and let the West get ahead of us ? I think that if we, the girls of Man- ning, would take enough interest in ath- letics we should be sure to find someone in the faculty who would help us out to make a success of it, and I am sure that next year we can find that interest and that help so that we can get started with girls’ athletics in Manning. E. Peabody, ’24. 6 “ ’Tis the Middle of the Night by the Castle Clock.” “ Tis the middle of the night by the Castle Clock” and the echo of each stroke gives to the weird scene an evil note. The great old Norman castle with its square battlements and towers looms black against a pale moonlit sky across which ragged wisps of clouds are driven by a rising wind, which whistles weirdly through large clumps of cypress trees surrounding the castle. Huge black masses piling up in the west and distant rumbles of thunder give promise of the close approach of a storm. The castle sleeps — every window is black — but wait ! in the long French door leading onto the terrace appears a flickering light. It is extinguished for a moment and appears again for a in- stant before it once more disappears. The door is flung open and a dim white figure glides swiftly across the terrace, down a short flight of stone steps into the dim recesses of the gar- den. A gasp — and then the jagged flash of lightning reveals a young girl in flowing white draperies, clasping in her lily white hands two small objects, while a look of joy and relief crosses her beautiful features framed in masses of blond curls. Only for a breathless moment does she stand thus and then she whirls and with a bound reaches the terrace and the welcome of the open door. Not a moment too soon for, as if waiting only until she is safe inside, the clouds seem to empty themselves in the first wild moments of the tempest. But, safe within the shelter of the castle hall the flapper daughter of the family still clasps in her lily white hands her treasured lip-stick and rouge, — safe from the seizure of her father, who would surely have seen them on the garden bench during his early morning walk next day.

Evelyn Bamford — ' ‘0, w ad some Power the giftie gie us to see oursels as ithers see us” Julius Bean — “A merrier man Within the limits of becoming mirth I never spent an hour’s talk withal.” Ruth Brown — “A form more fair, a face more sweet Ne’er hath it been my lot to meet.” Helen Bruce — “Think me not unkind and rude.” James Burke — “For if he will, he will, you may depend on’t And if he won’t, he won’t so there’s an end on’t”. William Burke — “Thy friendly and jovial face gleams round and red as the harvest moon.” Bernice Connor — “Brows saintly calm and lips devout Knew every change of scowl and pout.” Anita Daniels — “She speaks, behaves, and acts just as she ought.” 8 Leo Dondero — “Short of stature he was, but strongly built and athletic, Broad in the shoulders, deep-chested, with muscles and sinews of iron.” Ruth Gilday — “Of lively look all griefe for to repell with right good grace.” Phyllis Girard — “Those happy smiles That played on her ripe lip.” Jonathan Hall — “Sand home my long stray’d eyes to me Which oh ! too long have dwelt on thee.” Arnold Hamilton — “For his heart was in his work, and the heart Giveth grace unto every art.” Hollis Hamilton — “He speaketh not; and yet there lies A conversation in his eyes.” Nancy Homans — “Soul of the age ! Th’ applause! delight! the wonder of our stage.” Robert Kent — “Who would be rather a great monster than a well proportioned man.” Elsie Manzer — “Art thou pale for weariness?” Elsie Marr — “Skilled in the ogle of a roguish eye.” Olive Pace — “Her eyes as stars of twilight fair Like twilight too, her dusky hair.” George Porter — “Of his stature he was of even length. And wonderly deliver and great of strength.” Paul Raupach — “When you have nothing to say, speak with silent eloquence.” Helen Rogers — “Still to be neat, still to be drest As you were going to a feast. Still to be powdered, still perfum’d.” Catherine Ryan — “Who laughs to scorn the wisdom of the schools And thinks the first of poets the first of fools.” Dorothy Shaw — “In the chimney of memory regard me as a brick.” Albert Spyut — “Fair haired, pure eyed, with delicate complexion. Having the dew of his youth and beauty thereof.” Beatrice Tufts — “A woman tropical, intense In thought and act, in soul and sense. She blended in a like degree The vixen and the devotee.” Roseltha Witham — “Fair was she to behold That maid of eighteen summers.” Althea Whittier — “A mistress moderately fair And good as guardian angels are.” 9 PERSONAL HISTORY WITH PICTURES EVELYN BAMFORD Here’s “Bant” the hustler of the class, talks slang a mile a minute, and is always late for classes. Al- though not given the title of “Class Bluffer” she comes in a close second. She is leader of the “Girls’ Glee Club” and an indispensable member of the school orchestra. Besides being skilled in foreign languages, she is also a marked essayist. JULIUS BEAN “Beanie” is one of our hard working classmates (there are very few) and is going to enter Harvard next fall. He should make quite a Rah, rah boy. Beanie is a good actor and did great work in the senior play and is besides a line violinist. RUTH BROWN What should we do without Ruth ? She plays the piano in chapel and can always pound out the latest jazz at a minute’s notice. Many are the times she has played for us at class socials. She is a jolly, pleasant girl and well liked by everyone. HELEN BRUCE “Brucie” is one of our merriest classmates. She has a very sweet tooth and recess usually finds her haunting the vicinity of the candy room. She is very generous, so needless to say, she is very popular. 10 JAMES BURKE “Jimmy’ ' is president of the senior class and of the Athletic Association. He has a streak of stubborn- ness in his makeup which is apt to get him into trouble at times. James used to be bashful as a little freshman but this is gradally disappearing. WILLIAM BURKE “Billy” is the handsomest boy in the class but “handsome is as handsome does” and Billy is rather a pest as everyone is willing to testify. He has al- ways made it a point to disagree with everyone else in class meeting for, to quote Billy himself, “What is a class meeting for if not to argue?” BERNICE CONNOR Bernice is one of the Commercial pupils. Her favorite subject is typewriting, but somehow she always seems to be getting into trouble in there. The week is very rare when we do not see Bernice wan- deiing toward the office in the middle of the type- writing period. ANITA DANIELS Anita, quite in keeping with her title of class saint, is very quiet and demure. She is the treasurer of the class of 1923 and is very conscientious in this work as in all other. 11 LEO DONDERO Here’s the class athlete. Dondero is a fine all- round athlete and captained a good football team last fall and an equally good baseball team this spring. He has so many “M’s” that it is impossible to count them. Donny is rather quiet but otten amuses the senior English class with his dry, humorous remarks. PHYLLIS GIRARD “Phil” is one of our happiest pals. She wears a smile that nothing seems able to wipe off. She is very — er slight and no one would be surprised if she disapr eared through the keyhole some day. How- ever, we hope this won’t happen, for she helps to brighten dull days. RUTH GILDAY Here we have the class wit. True to this name, Ruth has many witty things to say. She seems to be rather fond of chemistry since she has taken it two years, and we find it surprising that the place has not been blown up. JONATHAN HALL Our future bank president — Mr. Hall. He and Albert between them used to make things hum but now Jonny has deserted us to work in the National Bank. We expect great things of him in the future. 12 ARNOLD HAMILTON Arnold is rather a small chap and is very quiet. He is an absent-minded fellow who is always dream- ing and comes to with a startled expression on his face when called upon to recite. HOLLIS HAMILTON Hollis is the class baby. He is rather a shark in shorthand and often saves the class with a timely recitation. Somehow, unlike the rest of us, he usu- ally knows his English. NANCY HOMANS “Nance” is the most popular girl in the class. She is gay and full of fun. She has a gift of mimicry ana is always willing to entertain her friends pro- viding she is not hungry, for Nance likes nothing better than to eat. ROBERT KENT No one is quite sure of “Bob”. He is very quiet but has a habit of giving unexpectedly humorous answers to questions which are sure to bring a laugh. Every one likes Bob even if he is the class woman- hater. 13 ELSIE MANZER Elsie is another of the quiet, shy kind who never has a great deal to say. She has missed school a great deal this winter but has stuck close to us in spite of it. ELSIE MARK “Still waters run deep.” We think that this ap- plies to Elsie; she is quietly cheerful and upon her face is an inscrutable smile that might hide a multi- tude of secrets. OLIVE PACE Olive is a Rowley commuter. She is quiet and un- obtrusive but very pleasant. We don’t understand why Olive should be unobtrusive for she is very nice looking and is popular with all the girls. She hopes to be a school teacher some day. GEORGE PORTER Porter is another of our Rowley commuters and a jolly fellow too. He plays the cornet in the orches- tra and everyone downstairs insists that he makes so much noise he can’t study. However, George is only one twelfth of the orchestra. 14 PAUL RAUPACH “Duke” made his entrance into the class of 1923 in the middle of our junior year and we consider him quite a distinctive addition. He is manager of the baseball team and is, on the whole, rather a sporty individual. HELEN ROGERS “Midget” as her nickname suggests is a petite young lady but she is not at all self-effacing. She is an independent person and walks with a slight swagger which shows this trait. CATHERINE RYAN “Cathie” has not always belonged to our class but we are glad to have been able to claim her as long as we have. She is a. jolly, smiling sort and always has something to say which will amuse the crowd. DOROTHY SHAW “Dot” holds the highest honor in the class and is, besides, editor-in-chief of the “Tiger”. She is some- thing of a tease and often times makes her friends quite peeved, but we should miss “Dottie” a great deal if she weren’t with us. 15 ALBERT SPYUT “Al” is the class clown and this title fits him to perfection. He made a great hit in the senior play. A1 is fond of drawing and he utilizes this ability to make interesting headings for the various depart- ments of the “Tiger” ; he is also business manager of our pa: er. BEATRICE TUFTS “Bea” is rather a haughty appearing young lady but is really very likeable. From all accounts she is fond of cooking and will perhaps one day make a good housekeeper. She should, for it is said that business women are always more efficient in house- keeping than others. ROSELTHA WITHAM “Rose” is a quiet, innocent appearing child but ap- pearances are deceiving. Upon investigation we find that Rose is an imp in disguise. She is very viva- cious and not nearly so childish as she seems to be. Her title of class bluffer is very appropriate. ALTHEA WHITTIER Althea deserted us in the middle of the year to go to work in the National Bank but we shall have her with us commencement week. She is a very pleasant companion and we have missed her in classes but we are glad that she is making good on the job. 16 WHO’S WHO Name Nick Name PaHtime Appearance Ambition Favorite FxprcHHion X G . : “ .

With the swift passage of time, new inventions and new sciences unfailingly creep into our lives, some perhaps un- seen and unnoticed for a time but grad- ually the best and truest fight their way to the front. Among the foremost of our new sciences is that of aeronautics. It was in the middle of the eighteenth century that men began to experiment with the science of fight in the air. Perhaps be- cause of their close observation of na- tural life it was first proposed that wings be strapped to the flyer. This idea soon proved itself impracticable, for it was found that man vas not powerful enough to propel himself through space. We are all familiar with the legendary failure of Darius Green. Then, probably through the results gained by the experiments of Henry Cavendish in 1776, proving hydrogen gas seven times lighter than air : and of Tiberius Cavallo in using this new gas to raise soap bubbles, Joseph and Stephen Montgolfier, managers of the paper works at Annonay, France, utiliz- ing the theory of the suspension of the clouds and the ascent of smoke, suc- ceeded in raising a balloon filled with rarefied air, generated by the burning of moist straw, wool, and rags below the mouth of the gas container. This feat set Paris in an uproar and the Mont- golfiers were allowed to demonstrate the capability of their invention before the King of France in court at Ver- sailles, in September, 1783. Strangely enough the brothers did not have the confidence in their invention to make the ascent themselves but sent up sheep and ducks in the carriage of the balloon. Soon after this ascension Professor J. A. Charles, a teacher of National Philosophy in Paris, rose from Champs de Mars in a hydrogen gas balloon at a rate of 3,000 feet in two minutes and fell in three quarters of a hour some fifteen miles from Paris. There is a somewhat interesting story connected with the journey of Professor Charles’s balloon. Of course it was sent up with- out a human occupant; so when the craft landed in the field of a peasant, immediately the whole neighborhood was aroused and flocked to see this strange monster of another world, as they thought. They did not quite dare a ' proach the thing, however, and for some hours stood at a distance to ob- serve it. Then one of the men, a little bolder than the rest, crept up to the bal- loon and fired at the gas bag with his shot gun. The bag began to collapse and the crowd rushed at it with their pitchforks and scythes. The remains of the balloon were tied to a horse and dragged over the surrounding country. After that experience the King issued an order to prevent such a thing’s hap- pening again and had the nature of the strange craft explained to the people. These balloons of the Montgolfiers and Charles represent two principles of elevating power: one, the rarefication of common air by heat; and the other, the use of a gas lighter than air which would be almost continously buoyant. The fire balloons of the Montgolfiers gave way to the gas type in time and coal gas was introduced for although its bouyancy was not as great as hy- drogen yet it was far cheaper to gener- ate. An attempt to combine these two types in order to obtain the power of in- creasing or diminishing the weight of the apparatus at will without unusual expenditure of gas was made by Pilatre de Rosier. On June 15, 1785, he at- tempted to cross the English Channel in a balloon of this combination type, but although the theory was correct the application was in error for the dis- tention of gas in elevation forced the contents of the bag into the carriage and when it reached the fire that gener- ated the rarefied air it ignited and burned the balloon causing the death of the inventor. The history of the balloon from that time on is a record of flights, distances, time, and height, for very little change has been made in the form or theory of the invention. True some few improve- ments have been added, as the ripping panel to aid in a quick assent and the drag rope to steady the elevation of the balloon. Perhaps the first time a balloon was employed by an army was during the French Revolution when it found a place as an observing agency. In al- most every war since, we find the bal- loon holding its own. While speaking of v ar it might be well to touch on the dirigible type since that word in con- nection with balloons will probably be more familiar to you. We must remem- ber that dirigibles as perfect and effi- cient as the German Zeppelin of the late war were the result of countless ex- periments. This will be more clearly seen by following through the develop- ment of that type of air craft. At first oars were used to propel the dirigible but it was found that there was not enough power in this method so in 1852 a small steam engine weigh- ing one hundred fifty four pounds to the horsepower was introduced by Henri Gifford. It was not successful, however, and in 1870, during the siege of Paris we find the hand propelled machine in use again. It was not until 1883 and 1884 that Tessandier suc- ceeded in raising a dirigible with an electric motor. After a number of methods were tried, one with the propeller in front which made fourteen miles an hour; another, with a cigar shaped balloon driven by a gas motor which was wrecked by an explosion, and still an- other having an aluminum frame which was damaged beyond repair, the theory of light, powerful sources of propul- sion developed and motors of incred- ible power and lightness resulted. Beside the lighter than air crafts we have another branch of aeronautics dealing with heavier than air type, the airplanes. Europe took the lead early in the development of this new craft but in 1900 the scene shifted to the United States, when the Wright bro- thers ccmpleted a plane and after two years of experimenting in Ohio and on the planes of Kitty Hawk N. C. made their first public flight in 1908. In Sep- tember of that year Orville Wright made a duration flight at Washington, staying in the air a little over one hour. The next year, 1909, in July Jean Bleriot crossed the English Channel in a plane of his own invention, and in 1910 Charles Rolls made a trip from Dover, England to Calais, France and return, a distance of fifty miles. The two types of ships used by these early aviators were biplanes and mono- planes, the biplanes being the Wright brothers’ invention while the mono- plane is credited to Bleriot. Airplanes have developed since 1900 in countless ways. During the late war many new machines were built each one somewhat different and more perfect than the one before. When the American tractor biplane, N. C.-4, driven by four Liberty Motors, having a total of 1600 horsepower, at the average rate of eighty miles an 19 hour made the first Trans-Atlantic flight under Lieutenant Com. A. C. Read of the U. S. N., people were astonished. It seemed impossible that such a thing could have been clone. Then when the Italian triplane was brought before the public, they were duo for another surprise. Italy still has the lead in airplane building. Caproni, the greatest of all airplane builders, not being satisfied with the success of the triplane, built one of the triple tandem type; that is with two sets of wings, three decks in a set, which carried some forty passengers, but the latest in his line is the new novi- plane which is now under construction. This immense craft will be 72 feet long and will have the carrying capacity of a hundred passengers. The motive power will be supplied by eight Liberty motors having a total of 3200 horse power. The motors will be arranged in two groups, one on the front planes and the other on the rear; each group will consist of 3 tractor motors and one pusher motor. Now, comes the last word in development; the plane will be navigated in the same manner as an ocean liner, the pilot controlling from the “bow”. It will be steered either from an enclosed cabin or from an ex- posed “bridge”. In fact it will be the Leviathan of the air. Caproni intends to cross the Atlantic in thirty-six hours with this new type of machine. How can we doubt the success of this plan? He has already established regular passenger routes in Italy. His planes have carried as many as forty passen- gers before. Barring accidents, we shall no doubt be visited by the mons- trous air craft in the near future. We have all seen skiing parties en- joying themselves flying down the larg- est hills in this town at breakneck speed. Perhaps we have wondered at the skill of the skiers. What should we think if we should see motorless airplanes glide from these same hills into the air soar- ing like the birds; hundreds of feet above our heads? Yet in Germany and France the people have witnessed this very thing. Gliders, as this type of plane is called, have become a fact. Men have learned to build planes that will be propelled only by the natural elem.ents. Hun- dreds of these planes have been tried. Some obtained the height of a thousand feet, more reach five hundred feet, some only a few hundred feet; all, however, succeeded in gliding. This new branch of aeronautics has been termed a “new sport”. It is a sport in every sense of the word. It is a battle of skill, ex- perience, and nerve against the elements of the air. We have noted the great development in aeronautics in the past 140 years. Things that before were thought hardly more than a dream have been ac- complished. And as yet we have not touched the real importance of science. We seem on the verge of greater things. Let us hope therefore, that the United States will be foremost in the field of aeronautics in the future. James Burke. Woman’s Invasion Into Politics A century ago woman was considered to be quite inferior to man. The bare suggestion that she go into politics or even be allowed the privilege of voting would have raised anger, contempt, or at least amusement from husband, father, or brother ; anger that she should want to interfere in men’s af- fairs; contempt and amusement that she should think she had brains enough to play the political game. Gradually, however, woman began to 20 WHO’S WHO NaniR Nick Name Pastime Appearance Amhition Favorite Fx[ reHsiuii = 3 T3 O O “li a o M .S o V G b£) d •S s C 3 (V rez ' §5 b ) M ' G O H O OO!

With the swift passage of time, new inventions and new sciences unfailingly creep into our lives, some perhaps un- seen and unnoticed for a time but grad- ually the best and truest fight their way to the front. Among the foremost of our new sciences is that of aeronautics. It was in the middle of the eighteenth century that men began to experiment with the science of fight in the air. Perhaps be- cause of their close observation of na- tural life it was first proposed that wings be strapped to the flyer. This idea soon proved itself impracticable, for it was found that man was not powerful enough to propel himself through space. We are all familiar with the legendary failure of Darius Green. Then, probably through the results gained by the experiments of Henry Cavendish in 1776, proving hydrogen gas seven times lighter than air : and of Tiberius Cavallo in using this new gas to raise soap bubbles, Joseph and Stephen Montgolfier, managers of the paper works at Annonay, France, utiliz- ing the theory of the suspension of the clouds and the ascent of smoke, suc- ceeded in raising a balloon filled with rarefied air, generated by the burning of moist straw, wool, and rags below the mouth of the gas container. This feat set Paris in an uproar and the Mont- golfiers were allowed to demonstrate the capability of their invention before the King of France in court at Ver- sailles, in September, 1783. Strangely enough the brothers did not have the confidence in their invention to make the ascent themselves but sent up sheep and ducks in the carriage of the balloon. Soon after this ascension Professor J. A. Charles, a teacher of National Philosophy in Paris, rose from Champs de Mars in a hydrogen gas balloon at a rate of 3,000 feet in two minutes and fell in three quarters of a hour some fifteen miles from Paris. There is a somewhat interesting story connected with the journey of Professor Charles’s balloon. Of course it was sent up with- out a human occupant; so when the craft landed in the field of a peasant, immediately the whole neighborhood was aroused and flocked to see this strange monster of another world, as they thought. They did not quite dare a ' proach the thing, however, and for some hours stood at a distance to ob- serve it. Then one of the men, a little bolder than the rest, crept up to the bal- loon and fired at the gas bag with his shot gun. The bag began to collapse and the crowd rushed at it with their pitchforks and scythes. The remains of the balloon were tied to a horse and dragged over the surrounding country. After that experience the King issued an order to prevent such a thing’s hap- rening again and had the nature of the strange craft explained to the people. These balloons of the Montgolfiers and Charles represent two principles of elevating power: one, the rarefication of common air by heat; and the other, the use of a gas lighter than air which would be almost continously buoyant. The fire balloons of the Montgolfiers gave way to the gas type in time and coal gas was introduced for although its bouyancy was not as great as hy- drogen yet it was far cheaper to gener- ate. An attempt to combine these two types in order to obtain the power of in- creasing or diminishing the weight of the apparatus at will without unusual expenditure of gas was made by Pilatre de Rosier. On June 15, 1785, he at- tempted to cross the English Channel in a balloon of this combination type, but although the theory was correct the application was in error for the dis- tention of gas in elevation forced the contents of the bag into the carriage and when it reached the fire that gener- ated the rarefied air it ignited and burned the balloon causing the death of the inventor. The history of the balloon from that time on is a record of flights, distances, time, and height, for very little change has been made in the form or theory of the invention. True some few improve- ments have been added, as the ripping panel to aid in a quick assent and the drag rope to steady the elevation of the balloon. Perhaps the first time a balloon was employed by an army was during the French Revolution when it found a place as an observing agency. In al- most every war since, we find the bal- loon holding its own. While speaking of v ar it might be well to touch on the dirigible type since that word in con- nection with balloons will probably be more familiar to you. We must remem- ber that dirigibles as perfect and effi- cient as the German Zeppelin of the late war were the result of countless ex- periments. This will be more clearly seen by following through the develop- ment of that type of air craft. At first oars were used to propel the dirigible but it was found that there was not enough power in this method so in 1852 a small steam engine weigh- ing one hundred fifty four pounds to the horsepower was introduced by Henri Gifford. It was not successful, however, and in 1870, during the siege of Paris we find the hand propelled machine in use again. It was not until 1883 and 1884 that Tessandier suc- ceeded in raising a dirigible with an electric motor. After a number of methods were tried, one with the propeller in front which made fourteen miles an hour ; another, with a cigar shaped balloon driven by a gas motor which was wrecked by an explosion, and still an- other having an aluminum frame which was damaged beyond repair, the theory of light, powerful sources of propul- sion developed and motors of incred- ible power and lightness resulted. Beside the lighter than air crafts we have another branch of aeronautics dealing with heavier than air type, the airplanes. Europe took the lead early in the development of this new craft but in 1900 the scene shifted to the United States, when the Wright bro- thers completed a plane and after two years of experimenting in Ohio and on the planes of Kitty Hawk N. C. made their first public flight in 1908. In Sep- tember of that year Orville Wright made a duration flight at Washington, staying in the air a little over one hour. The next year, 1909, in July Jean Bleriot crossed the English Channel in a plane of his own invention, and in 1910 Charles Rolls made a trip from Dover, England to Calais, France and return, a distance of fifty miles. The two types of ships used by these early aviators were biplanes and mono- planes, the biplanes being the Wright brothers’ invention while the mono- plane is credited to Bleriot. Airplanes have developed since 1900 in countless ways. During the late war many new machines were built each one somewhat different and more perfect than the one before. When the American tractor biplane, N. C.-4, driven by four Liberty Motors, having a total of 1600 horsepower, at the average rate of eighty miles an 19 hour made the first Trans-Atlantic flight under Lieutenant Com. A. C. Read of the U. S. N., people were astonished. It seemed impossible that such a thing could have been done. Then when the Italian triplane was brought before the public, they were duo for another surprise. Italy still has the lead in airplane building. Caproni, the greatest of all airplane builders, not being satisfied with the success of the triplane, built one of the triple tandem type; that is with two sets of wings, three .decks in a set, which carried some forty passengers, but the latest in his line is the new novi- plane which is now under construction. This immense craft will be 72 feet long and will have the carrying capacity of a hundred passengers. The motive power will be supplied by eight Liberty motors having a total of 3200 horse power. The motors will be arranged in two groups, one on the front planes and the other on the rear; each group will consist of 3 tractor motors and one pusher motor. Now, comes the last word in development; the plane will be navigated in the same manner as an ocean liner, the pilot controlling from the “bow”. It will be steered either from an enclosed cabin or from an ex- posed “bridge”. In fact it will be the Leviathan of the air. Caproni intends to cross the Atlantic in thirty-six hours with this new type of machine. How can we doubt the success of this plan? He has already established regular passenger routes in Italy. His planes have carried as many as forty passen- gers before. Barring accidents, we shall no doubt be visited by the mons- trous air craft in the near future. We have all seen skiing parties en- joying themselves flying down the larg- est hills in this town at breakneck speed. Perhaps we have wondered at the skill of the skiers. What should we think if we should see motorless airplanes glide from these same hills into the air soar- ing like the birds; hundreds of feet above our heads? Yet in Germany and France the people have witnessed this very thing. Gliders, as this type of plane is called, have become a fact. Men have learned to build planes that will be propelled only by the natural eiemients. Hun- dreds of these planes have been tried. Some obtained the height of a thousand feet, more reach five hundred feet, some only a few hundred ’feet ; all, however, succeeded in gliding. This new branch of aeronautics has been termed a “new sport”. It is a sport in every sense of the word. It is a battle of skill, ex- perience, and nerve against the elements of the air. We have noted the great development in aeronautics in the past 140 years. Things that before were thought hardly more than a dream have been ac- complished. And as yet we have not touched the real importance of science. We seem on the verge of greater things. Let us hope therefore, that the United States will be foremost in the field of aeronautics in the future. James Burke. Woman’s Invasion Into Politics A century ago woman was considered to be quite inferior to man. The bare suggestion that she go into politics or even be allowed the privilege of voting would have raised anger, contempt, or at least amusement from husband, father, or brother ; anger that she should want to interfere in men’s af- fairs ; contempt and amusement that she should think she had brains enough to play the political game. Gradually, however, woman began to 20 think of these things; of her inferior position ; of her lack of political rights ; of the reforms that were needed and which she was sure she could bring about. She began to have decided ideas on these subjects and to air her ideas. It was then that the men began to realize that their women were not so contented as they had thought them. Hiisbands voiced their disapproval in various ways; one became sentimental and said that politics was a dirty game and that no woman of his family should soil her honor and reputation by con- tact with it; another merely informed his wife that she hadn’t the brains for anything more serious than clothes and with an amused smile advised her to forget politics; still a third autocrati- cally decreed that a woman had no right to an opinion different from that of her husband and that politics was not for her. Nevertheless, regardless of mascu- line opinion, about 1,840 suffrage socie- ties began to be formed and meetings were held in earnest. The first demon- stration of this was a large meeting held at Seneca Falls, New York, in 1848, led by Lucretia Mott and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The work was later carried on by Susan B. Anthony whose well phrased text of 1875 now forms the Nineteenth Amendment to the Consti- tution of the United States. The first state to yield and give woman suffrage was Wyoming in 1869. This state was followed by twelve others giving presidential suffrage and two giving primary suffrage between 1869 and 1920. In 1913, stung by the indifference of President Wilson, the various suffrage organizations held a huge parade in Washington, D. C., the first ever at- tempted in the national capital. From then on waged the battle to have the Nineteenth Amendment introduced and passed in Congress. From 1918 to 1919, angered by Presi- dent Wilson’s continued indifference, the suffrage parties picketed the White House. In the six years between 1913 and 1919, the suffrage movement was carried on by two main parties, the National Woman’s Party and the Nat- ional American Woman’s Suffrage Asso- ciation of which Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt was the president. In June of 1919 the proposed Amend- ment was passed by the Senate and soon after signed by the President. Then began the campaign to have the re- quired number of states ratify it in time for women to vote in the November election. It was at this time that a writer for the Independent Magazine said; ‘Tt is not a question of women’s going into politics when they get the vote. They have been in politics for six years.” In the work of ratification the wom- en’s parties were assisted a great deal by President Wilson, now won over to the cause, Homer S. Cummings, chair- man of the National Democratic Execu- tive Committee, Attorney General Pal- mer and Secretary Daniels. The ratification campaign was won in time for the election and immediately woman began to make herself felt in the political game. Miss Anne Martin from Nevada became a candidate for the United States Senate, and Miss Alice Robertson of Oklahoma, who had form- erly been an anti-suffrage leader be- came a candidate for the United States House of Representatives. Women be- came members of party committees, and they ran for city, county and state offices. All in all the political world was quite upset. Meanwhile other countries had been 21 carrying on similiar campaigns. Eng- lish women began as early as 1850 to demand women’s rights. Among the more prominent of the leaders of the twentieth century have been Mrs. and Miss Pankhurst who were radical suffra- gists and Lady Astor, who startled all England in 1919 by taking advantage of the equal suffrage bill, passed the. year before to run for Parliament. • Besides Great Britain and her two colonial possessions, Canada and Aus- tralia, practically every European coun- try gives women equal suffrage with men. . Today in United States politics we find women in every conceivable politi- cal position. We find them in Congress and in State Legislatures. In Wash- ington we find a woman, Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt, assistant to the United States Attorney General. In Ohio, we find Miss Florence E. Allen a judge of the Supreme Court, the first woman in the United States to hold this position. Miss Allen has also held the position of assistant county prosecutor and was formerly Judge of the Court of Com- mon Pleas in Cleveland. Women have been in politics com- paratively few years, and we have as yet to see how high they will go. How- ever, we may expect to see many women in Congress and State legisla- tures, not a few following the lead of Judge Florence Allen and possibly even one or two taking their places in the President’s cabinet. W. L. George, a sarcastically in- clined writer for Harpers’, gives it as his opinion that women in politics will be “as crude, as stupid, as intolerant, and as smug as men, possibly worse since they are more passionate.” On the other hand Mr. George contends that for the first few years, at best, the v omen who go into politics will be on a higher intellectual plain than the men there now, for a woman can quite easily be persuaded to vote for a man, but it will take a woman of brains to win the votes and approval of the men. However, women have shown them- selves so capable in the political game that we can expect to see Mr. George’s contention proving true, not only for a few years, but for always. Evelyn Bamford “CARPE DIEM!” Valedictory “Carpe diem!” Seize the opportunity! — a motto worthy to be followed and re- membered all our lives. It is a motto especially appropriate for us who start out to-night to seek success in the world. Opportunitv has been a recognized power thi-ough all the ages. The early Romans and Greeks built temples and made offerings to the goddess of op- portunity, called by them. Fortune. Be- fore attempting anything important, they went to the temple of Fortune to pray and to promise gifts if she favored them. Some prospered and many failed. Those who prospered gave great and magnificent gifts to Fortuna, and believed they had succeeded because she had aided them and because they had followed opportunity when the door was opened to them. Those who failed were the blind who did not see the doors of opportunity standing ajar and success beyond the threshold. No man can succeed unless he seizes opportunity when it comes to him. Edu- cation, experience, patience, energy, de- sire, persistency and efficiency, all nec- essaiy to success, can gain nothing un- less opportunity is sought and seized. Many great and successful men started as very poor boys but came to success through seizing each oppor- 22 tunity which presented itself to them. Edward Bok, ex-editor of the “Ladies’ Home Journal” and one of America’s most prominent men, came to. this country with his family, when a boy. Bok went to school for a short time, but as the cost of the family living was raised, he left school and went to work. He took every opportunity to educate himself and to learn everything con- nected with his work in any way. He made his employers notice him, and they, seeing how he tried to progress, helped him to advance until he finally reached the top. Bok was always look- ing for chances to make money outside of his regular work. He noticed that the horse cars, which ran a long dis- tance, were crowded with passengers, hot and dusty, on Saturdays and holi- days. The car stopped in front of Bok’s home, and the conductor went to get a cool drink at the drug store while the passengers remained in the car. Bok filled a pail with cold water, hung some cups on the edge, and went through the car selling it to the passengers. Other boys in the neighborhood had the same opportunity but they did not take it un- til Bok led the way. Bok was then compelled to sell lemonade at a slightly higher price to secure a monopoly. Andrew Carnegie started as a bobbin boy at a salary of one dollar and twenty cents a week. When ha came to America from Scotland, he became a messenger boy for the Ohio telegraph company. By taking every opportunity offered him he rapidly rose until during the Civil War he superintended many of the government railroads and telegraph lines. He kept on rising and finally founded many steel works. Washington’s success as a general was due in a great part to the use he made of his opportunities. As an ex- ample of this — he was driven across the Delaware by the British and re- mained encamped there for some time, waiting to cross again. The Hessian troops were merrymaking on Christmas day. Washington led his men across the river and captured the surprised Hessians. Thus, in business, in life, and in all things, we must seize our opportunities or fail, for, as Shakespeare says: “There is a tide in the affairs of men. Which, taken at the flood, leads on to Fortune, Omitted, all the voyage of their life, Is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves Or lose our ventures.” We, the class of 1923, wish to thank our parents, school committee, and superintendent for helping us gain our education; our teachers for the hours they spent working with us; our prin- cipal for his wise advice and never fail- ing sympathy and kindness. Classmates: during our four years at Manning High, we have worked, played, and studied together. To-night we part, some of us to continue our studies in different schools and colleges, and the rest to take positions in the business world, but wherever we go let us live up to our motto — Seize the op- portunity! “Carpe diem!” Dorothy Shaw CLASS HISTORY September 4, 1919 there was great re- joicing in Manning High, for the most promising graduating class of the Win- throp School were about to become Man- ning High Freshmen. Yes, so we thought, but it remained for the sophomores and juniors to lessen that feeling of importance. Many, 23 many wandering freshmen were seized and deposited on the ledge under the window by the candy room and the win- dow locked. Several were rescued by Mr. Marston, but they dared not tell which upper classman put them there. Other poor freshmen were locked in the ventilators where only a great com- motion on their part would bring Mr. Marston to the rescue. Oh ! we vowed vengeance on the upper classmen for .;those deeds, but when ever the opportunity came for re- venge, most of us had an important en- gagement in some other part of the building. Our freshman year was the last year with Mr. Marston as principal, but in that one short year we learned to know him very well. I believe it was only the third day of the term that Miss Shaw, Miss Kimball, Spyut and myself were extended a cordial invitation to visit the office at 3.30. Of course, we hadn ' t done anything, it was merely Mr. Mars- ton’s manner of getting acquainted. Ours was a class with such celebrities as Bean, then a budding violinist with a big brother in the upper class to tell Juls just how little he knew. Of course he wouldn’t think of hitting his big brother. The famous strike of the Manning High pupils was staged in November of our freshman year. Although it was unsuccessful, we got our names in the paper. Following the strike came the great play “Captain Crossbones”, and Mr. Tozer gave us an added compliment when he picked most of his pirates from our class. Hall never forgot his ex- perience as pirate and is seriously con- templating taking up the profession after graduation. This year also saw the beginning of class games in ath- letics, a custom that has continued ever since. In our sophomore year we moved into Miss Whittemore’s room where the seats were close together, and you can imagine the result. It was not uncom- mon to see the bench filled entirely with sophomores. Class socials became prominent and many were those held in conjunction with the freshmen. The most important event of our junior year was of course the “Prom”. It was a big success, the net proceeds amounting to $110, which was divided between Porter and myself until we could give it to the class treasurer. Forty dollars was immediately turned over to the treasurer, but the other seventy dollars was almost lost. I had the forty dollars of course. Possibly Porter was thinking of starting a jitney line between Ipswich and Rowley. Our junior class was prominent in athletics having seven of the eleven on the football team and four out of six on the hockey team. Our senior year has been the greatest of all. We held a soviet government meeting and elected J. Burke, president ; Miss Shaw, vice-president ; Miss Brown, secretary and Miss Daniels, treasurer. Of course the senior play was the biggest thing of the year. After several collisions with Hall, Miss Homans de- cided that Johnny had not reached a stage of civilization as advanced as even that of pirate but more nearly resembled a cave man. Nancy should have had shock absorbers. All in all the senior year has been one we shall never forget and we sincerely hope that the next senior class will ap- preciate as much as we have what it means to be a senior and to have been associated for four years with Manning High. William Burke 24 PHOPHECY This afternoon, among my assembled classmates and friends, I wish to re- late to you a strange and disturbing ex- perience that came to me one afternoon last May. Suffering from an acute attack of s::ring fever, I had taken the afternoon from my lessons to wander in the cool dim shadows of the wood. With my volume of Milton and a box of choco- lates I was reclining on a grassy bank in the very heart of the wood, alter- nately reading passages of Comus and idly thinking of the future careers of my classmates. I closed my eyes and tried to conjure up visions of each one doing his or her chosen work and, find- ing all unsatisfactory, turned again to my Comus. The drowsiness of the afternoon soon overcame me and I tossed aside my book to lie thinking of the strange power of Comus to change unwary individuals into brute forms and then of changes in general. I languidly reached for an- other piece of candy and to my be- wilderment found that the box had dis- appeared and that the trees were gradually receding. I closed my eyes in horror and when I opened them again I found myself in the corridor of an office building standing directly oprosite a door on which appeared the inscription in neat black letters, “Helen Rogers, Mfg. of Wigs and Toupees”. I opened the door softly, and my ears were deafened by the rattle of hundreds of typewriters. Seated comfortably be- fore a huge desk just inside the door of this immense office sat my old school friend “Midget” but so changed. Her eyes were almost hidden behind huge shell glasses and her hair was done in an elaborate style, which made me suspect Midget of wearing one of her own wigs. Having accepted her invitation to sit down, we were soon deep in thoughts of by-gone days. To my surprise I learned that one of Helen’s best cus- tomers was Dot Shaw who was operat- ing a beauty shop in New York. I re- membered that Dot had been rather against the use of cosmetics during high school days, but since Evelyn Bamford, her old chum had accepted a position in the Metropolitan Opera Company, her aversion to rouge and powder had taken a change for the better. As I sat there musing over this strange news, my surroundings grew dim before my eyes and in a flash I found myself walking upon a beach overhung with palm trees. Beneath the largest of these sat a group of dark skinned men and women playing ukeleles and singing “On the Beach at Waikiki”. Suddenly my eyes were attracted to a blond girl wiggling and whirling in the mazes of the hula hula. Drawing nearer in my excitement, almost col- lapsed as I recognized the girl to be “Bea” Tufts. Habit had evidently played a large part in her life for I saw that just as in dear old Manning High days she was accompanied by a (Weagle) wiggle. Suddenly everything faded from my view, and as the air became clearer I saw to my surprise that I was sitting in the newspaper room of a huge library. Before me on the table lay a copy of the “Boston Post” and, glad to see some- thing familiar, I picked it up. The first thing that met my eyes was an an- nouncement reading like this — “Begin- ning today until further notice James Burke will take over the column, ‘Talks on Love and Sentiment’ formerly written by Mildred Champagne.” “A column a day will be easy for Jimmie,” I reflected, “ a ‘Page’ used to be his limit.” Just as I was going to lay down 25 my newspaper I saw in headlines on the Sport Page — Manager Raupach of the Braves purchases Dondero, star pitcher of the Red Sox, for $10,000 and Robert Kent, his star sub thrown in. “Will wonders never cease ; ” I thought when a voice at my ear startled me and I heard in lady-like accents, “The Library closes at 5.30, Madam; so Pll have to ask you to leave.” I turned around and my reply never passed my lips for the librarian was none other than Anita Daniels. We fell in each others arms and, when we had our breath again, I learned that Anita’s assistant was Elsie Marr who had entire charge of the Art and Marine Room where Albert Spyut was a constant visitor. He was seek- ing inspiration for a new yacht to be called the “Elsie” and modelled after the “Hull” of his first. It seems Albert has been amassing a fortune since he and Jonathan Hall had joined forces building pleasure boats. John had am- bitions for a much larger boat than Albert’s and work had already been started on his masterpiece, “The Sway Easy”. During this last bit of gossip my sur- roundings had grown dim but as I waited objects became clearer and I found myself in a plain but dignified church. Directly in front of me sitting upright behind the reading desk sat a woman dressed as ’ a Quaker. Not a ' sound could be heard. Then abruptly anothe- woman dressed similarly passed up the aisle quickly and addressed the congregation. I held my breath. It was Ruth Gilday and the words she spoke were these, “Brothers and Sisters, the spirit has moved and I wish to an- nounce the world famous preacher. Sis- ter Helen Bruce who will favor us with an address on ‘How it is Possible to Remain Silent for Three Days.’ ” The shock of this announcement was too much for me remembering Brucy’s ability for having the last word in 1923 when her stage whispers could be heard in the noisiest of class rooms. Suddenly darkness descended upon me. This time I came to myself in the dusty street of a village directly oppos- site a store which bore the announce- ment on a huge sign over the door “Hamilton Bros., General Merchandise, Skowhegan, Maine.” I was about to en- ter when, with a rattle and roar, a huge jitney bus drew up beside me, and a verj business-like young woman descended from behind the wheel. As in a dream I watched her advance with out-stretched hands and with a start recognized in this spruce young lady Catherine Ryan. She suggested that we take a stroll through the village, and glad for a chance to talk over old times, I agreed. She informed me that any other day I should have met Ruth Brown, who was one of her regular passengers since she had been teaching school in the country. The scene changed without warning and I found that I was in the lobby of an enormous theatre, which was hung with portraits of the same beautiful young man, under each of which was printed in red and gold letters “William Burke the successor to Rudolph Valentino, sup- ported by Bernice Connor, his leading lady. All this week in his latest picture Wour eyes have told me so.’ ” Press notices attached to the signs explained the sudden rise to fame of the new star. The increased demand for Burke’s pic- tures by the flapper element of the coun- try had placed Valentino in the discard and he had been forced to seek employ- ment in a garage. In my eagerness to see my old class- mates in pictures I rushed past the man at the door and found myself in total darkness which began to grow light as 26 torches appeared here and there, throw- ing light upon the figures of two women dressed in the uniform of the “Holy Rollers” while to the accompaniment of drum and tamborines they were sing- ing “Hallelujah! Hallelujah.” As they turned their faces toward me I recog- nized in the singers Olive Pace and Phyllis Girard. As I gazed at them their faces gradu- ally became blurred and I saw that I was standing in the spacious hall of a beautiful house. Nailed over the en- trance door was a sign reading, “Home ' of the City’s Philanthropist”. Slowly descending the stairs, I saw a beauti- fully gowned woman, whose warmly tinted hair looked somewhat familiar. As she drew nearer my suspicions were confirmed, for the lady was Elsie Man- zer. Just as I laid my hand in hers, I heard a strong buzzing in my ears which gradually changed to the sound of mili- tary music, and as I looked about me I saw that I was standing near the parade ground of a military academy. March- ing towards me was a company of stu- dents led by an erect soldierly figure of a man. As I gazed upon him my heart beat faster and as he passed me with eyes straight to the front I saw that it was George Porter. George’s ambition was realized, for now at last, he was in command of a company of soldiers. I struggled to free myself from a sen- sation of falling and turning found Althea Carpenter Whittier by my side. At the end of ten minutes I was speech- less at learning that Althea was an au- thority on high finance, president of the Bankers Association of the Country, walking delegate of the S. P. C. A., a nd an active member of the Woman’s Peace Party. All this information coming at once, confused me, and as I gradually re- covered from my confusion, there fell upon my ears the deep toned voice of a woman crying, “Cherries, Cherries, fresh picked Cherries, twenty cents a box.” At that moment I wanted cherries more than anything else and as I turned I saw the tiny figure of a girl sitting upon a truck loaded with cherries as red as her own cheeks and from the mouth of this tiny girl was issuing the deep, mellow tones. She turned toward me and in the peddler of fruit, I saw Roseltha Witham. Our greetings over, I learned that Rosy was making a huge success of her cherry orchards and was making so much money that she cDuld afford to go twice a week to the Opera House where Julius Caesar Bean, the celebrated musician and past second fiddler in Sousa’s Band gave concerts. Admission $10.00. Rosy being a thrifty soul, apologized for her haste and left me, and as I sadly watched her disap- pear down the street, her cries grew fainter and fainter and upon my face in the growing darkness were falling drops of rain. I shuddered with sudden cold and opened my eyes. Hastily gathering up my books and chocolates, I beat a hasty retreat for home before the full force of the shower might come that had so rudely inter- rupted my journey into the future. Nancy Homans PRESENTATION OF GIRLS’ GIFTS It has been a very difficult task to se- lect gifts for the girls of the senior class. When I sought for inspiration among authors, poets, historians, and scientists, all alike proved unavailing. In my des- pair I resorted to Wool worth’s. Here, at least, were suggestions that were tangible and appropriate, if they could not honestly be termed “high brow.” As I wandered down the aisle I stopped and marvelled at the amazing 27 variety of articles displayed there. My attention was drawn to the jewelry counter on which lay a great assortment of rings, beads, pins, etc. To Miss Marr I give these ear rings. They are to be worn on one ear to aid her in the art of vamping. I continued jny search among the jewelry and found something for Miss Shaw, the class manhater. “In that capacity,” I reflected, “she is not likely to possess a diamond ring in the future. The class should give her one then as a substitution and consolation.” At my right was a book stand. Here I found Woolworth’s edition of “Road Construction.” Ten cents for every ten pages. This I will give to Miss Gd- day so that she may converse intelli- gently about the construction of our highways the next time the boys call. (Louis and Bernard, I think.) Mr. Woolworth was proving the man of the hour. I had found three gifts soon after entering. Surely I should And something for all the girls by the time I had investigated all which the store had to offer. Coming suddenly upon a counter of toys, I stopped. Here I found just the thing for Miss Connor. This is to re- mind her of the happy days in type- writing and to be used in the future to save her own tongue, and also her repu- tation for good manners and a lady-like attitude. (Rubber-ball with tongue.) To Miss Brown I give this toy piano. If you practise diligently you may in time be able to play hymns in such a way that we can distinguish them from jazz. Miss Bruce already possesses the gift of gab, so I will give her this talking machine in case she ever should want to rest her tongue. Since Miss Ryan is fond of imitating well known local dancers, I think it 28 would help her a great deal to have this dancing doll for a partner. For Miss Rogers I have this pair of stilts. She may now rise to the level of the rest of the world and command the same outlook upon life that we have. I was about to leave the toy counter when I found this for Miss Pace. It will solve her difficulty in getting to and from the Rowley Station next year. (A horse and team.) Miss Witham was a difficult person to find a gift for, but suddenly I struck upon it. Miss Witham insists that she will learn to swim this summer. I hope these “life savers” will help her in- the process. By this time I was getting hungry and began looking for something to eat. 1 bought myself a few cookies. I also bought a box of animal crackers for Miss Homans confident that anything in the eating line would meet with a welcome reception from Nancy. Here’s a package of oat meal for Miss Girard so she will fatten up. It would be a shame to see that child grow any thinner. And for Miss Daniels, this doughnut against the day when her hair gets so thin she hasn’t enough to make the usual number. Miss Manzer is so pale and so quiet that I could think of nothing more ap- propriate than a very delicate shade of rouge which will give her pale cheeks a little color but which will not clash with her hair. The last counter to inspect was the hardware counter. Here I found two gifts. A piece of rope for Miss Tufts so she may save herself when she falls over the “Cliff”. And the other for Miss Bamford. Miss Bamford is at her height of glory when she can knock someone. I had better be a little care- ful when I give her this hammer. I had now found all the gifts for all the girls except Miss Whittier. 1 went all over the store again looking for something to give her, but could find nothing. I was going to leave when I ran into Dondero who seemed quite willing to part with his copy of “Burke’s Conciliation Speech.” So I bought it for Miss Whittier. The class sug- gests that she start learning it at once. We don’t want her to feel that she has been left out of any of our activities be- cause she went to work in the National Bank. I expressed my thanks to Mr. Wool- worth in person and went home quite satisfied with my purchases. Albert Spyut CLASS GIFTS TO BOYS These gifts which I am about to pre- sent to the boys of the class of 1923 were obtained during my trip to Egypt last summer with my uncle, who was .then the director of an excavating party making the tour for study in science. The very word “Egypt” opens the book of romance to the traveler of the east and one longs to come under the spell of its mysterious grandure and when my uncle told me I was to ac- company him I was thrilled. To think 1 was to leave prosaic every day life to explore the mysteries of the un- known. Egypt was just as I had pictured it, a land of which one dreams dreams and sees visions. The land of the Pharaoh is very real and the temples and broken columns call with a voice that is heard even by the prosaic tourist. What an interesting country — Egypt. Our trip across the desert was a com- plete success except for just one little incident. The little incident, however, proved of much value to me for it de- 29 cided at once just what I should bring home to Jimmy Burke as a gift. The incident centered around a mule that was carrying our packs. It was just a little of that stubbornness which is a mule s most outstanding feature. It reminded me so much of you Jimmy that I at once made up my mind I’d bring you this little mu le so that you might al- ways have a life-long companion, (mule.) Upon arriving at Cairo we were at once conducted to the castle of one of the chief’s of the Bedouin tribes. Here we were received with much ceremony and splendor. Nasim, the chief, and his daughter had arranged everything for our comfort and pleasure. About three days after our arrival I applied to Nasim for a guide, for on the following day, I had made up my mind I would go to Hyperbad, one of the most eastern cities in the most eastern land. Nasim allowed me two guides and we started out in the early morning across the white sands, arriving at Hyperbad at noon. What an interesting city ! I was spell-bound upon our entrance into the great gates which welcome the many different wandering tribes from the open desert. Everything seemed so unreal. How gaily everything was decorated, what splendour, and so un- like our cities of the United States. I had hardly ridden through the gates of the city when my eyes were attracted to the far end of the street where a goldsmith was seated upon a rug mak- ing nose-rings, necklaces, and all sorts of jewelry. From the lot I selected this beautiful Egyptian head-band which I shall give to J. Bean and I should sug- gest immediate use because on the back it reads. Size Guaranteed not to expand, (beaded head-band.) Leaving the goldsmith’s we went across the street to one of those funny little shops where toys of every des- cription were arranged along the walls. Immediately upon entering my eyes fell upon this little doll which is for J. Hall. I think if you will look very closely you will agree with me that it has a strong resemblance to someone in the sopho- more class, (doll.) From the toy shop we entered one of those famous little miscellaneous shops which is visited mostly by curious tourists. What attracted my attention most was a large sign in Egyptian letters and when translated by my guide read “Domino Clay Pack.” By inquir- ing further I found out that the clay pack was absolutely guaranteed to keep the skin free from wrinkles in the future years, so to Billy I’ll give this little box of beauty clay, a most ap- propriate gift for the handsomest boy of the class. At this same little shop I selected this useful little gift, a teeth- ing ring for Hollis, our class baby. My guide next suggested that before leaving I should visit one of the homes of the Egyptians. Of course I was more than pleased because I was sure it would prove most interesting. Now the Egyptian women love perfumes and all incense and we had no more than en- tered when our hostess immediately passed around little wooden scent boxes. The mixture, however, was just a little too strong for my sensitive nostrils and much to my embarrassment I began to sneeze. I couldn’t help but think of Albert, who has such a bad habit of sneezing. How he would enjoy one of those little scent boxes, so Albert, I got for you this little box of scented snuff. When we left our hostess it was about four o’clock and as we had a rather long journey ahead of us it was suggested by my guide that we start back. We se- cured our horses and started out through the gates to the open desert beyond. We had gone only a short dis- tance when we were met by an Egyptian tradesman, who before leaving us finally persuaded me into buying this string of dates for which Egypt is so famous. These I am going to give to Paul, for I have heard he is very fond of them but finds them rather scarce in the United States. Arriving back at the castle about eight, I found that my father and the rest of the party had also returned after a very successful day in their scientific research work. We remained in Egypt about a week longer. Then it was decided by the party to go to Italy before sailing for home. While in Italy one evening, we were given the pleasure of attending one of the many interesting plays which was being produced at that time. What a wonderful play it was and such acting! After the play was over I had the op- portunity of an inter view with the manager who, though a very pleasant man, was quite worked up at the time because one of his most noted actors was leaving him. I immediately thought what a wonderful chance this would be for Arnold Hamilton. I was successful and for you Arnold, I secured the contract to act with the Winslow Company in their new version of Shakespeare’s comedy entitled, “Romeo and Juliet.” The character of Romeo just suits him as you can all testify. We remained in Italy for another week and then at last came the day when we were to leave for dear old United States. How good it seemed to know that once more I was returning home to be among my classmates again. Our trip over was very pleasant and on the morning of June 9th we sailed 30 past the Statue of Liberty. We had hardly sailed into the harbor when sweet strains of music came to my ears. It was one of the popular songs and it was being sung by two service men. I had hardly landed upon the gang plank when one of them brushed up to me and before I really knew it I had purchased the song, “My Sweet Hortense” which I shall give to George Porter, a most ap- propriate one to play on your cornet. After leaving the docks we started at once for home and after a tiresome journey we landed in Ipswich once again June 10. Now during my trip I have secured some little gift for all the boys but Kent and Dondero. For Kent I have this little candy shop which I hope he will carry with him always so we won’t find it necessary to bother the girls in the candy room on the ringing of the last bell and for Don- dero this replica and representative of his ancestor as “Toot” has recently be- come a disciple of Darwin and has been converting all the inmates of Room IV. Helen Rogers. CLASS WILL Be it remembered that we, the class cf 1923 of Manning High School in the Town of Ipswich, County of Essex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts, be- ing of sound mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us at any time hertofore made.

The Glee Club was assisted by the school orchestra, iMss Ridley, cellist and Dorothy Berry Carpenter, reader. The concert was very well attended. Exhibition On Friday evening June 8th, the mem- bers of the high school gave an exhibi- tion of their schopl work. The orchestra played two selections, members of the freshman class gave a short play under the direction of Miss Allen, the French students presented a short play in French directed by Miss Blodgett, and the typewriting students of the senior class gave an exhibition of their skill. Memorial Day The usual Memorial Day exercises were held in the hall May 29th. The pupils escorted the Grand Army and American Legion to the hall where the program was given which consisted of songs by the school under the direction of Mr. Tozer, a recitation ' ‘The Fight at Lookout” by Natalie Brown, Lincoln’s “Address at Gettysburg” by Charles Denningham, and addresses by mem- bers of both posts. During the last two months we have had three men address us. Mr. Mor- timer H. Mellen, Principal of the A :- prentice and Engineering School of the General Electric, gave a very interest- ing illustrated talk on the work of this school in aiding boys to become experts in electrical and mechanical work. Pro- fessor Charles E. Persons from the College of Business Administration of Boston University and Mr. Edwin L. Robinson from the Bentley School of Accounting and Finance also gave very interesting talks to the school. The freshmen have been ideally busy this quarter, but they have managed to find time to run a social. It was quite successful. The whole school was in- vited — and a few came. The usual re- freshments were served and the usual games were played. But wonder of wonders — the lollypops were not forgot- ten ! How it happened we do not know, but suffice it to say — it happened. Miss Ferguson’s presence, undoubtedly, made it much more pleasant. We are wisely studying for the final examination — quite unlike the sopho- mores. By the way— where, oh, where, is that much promised and vaguely ru- mored sophomore social ? Alas, it never materialized. Quite a while ago the sophomores gave some valuable advice to the fresh- men for which we are much indebted. We should like to remind them of it now — only, instead of remembering “xyz’s,” we should advise them to re- member genitives and ablatives and clauses of purpose, result, etc. But, at the same time, we beg them not to lose any sleep worrying over their final ex- ams ! The freshmen held an inter-class Roman History spelling-match which was won by Division B. Division A was very much astonished and disappointed, for they issued the challenge — being su- premely sure of victory. Mary Frazer, ’26. SOPHOMORE CLASS REPORT The sophomores have not been doing much to attract attention this quarter and outside of baseball have been more or less dormant. Although G. McGregor and R. Hills 33 SENIOR CLASS NOTES are the only sophomores who have played in the big games, we have done quite a bit in the smaller fray. In the games against Merrimac, Georgetown, Groveland and Essex, G. Reedy, M. Hayes, T. Doyle, R. Kimball, and B. Phelan have had a part and are eager aspirants for the regular nine of the future. E. Witham, ’25. JUNIOR CLASS NOTES The junior class has been particularly inactive this last term because they were so busy studying I suppose (?) A number of fellows have been out for baseball; in fact the juniors com- pose most of the team. McCarthy pitched ; Gould played first base ; Ewing, second; Saunders, third; Fannon, cen- terfield; and J. Callahan, left field. -McCarthy has pitched a particularly good game this season, especially in the one with Methuen when he scored four- teen strikeouts. Class Day was held on Wednesday, June 27th in Manning Hall. The class history was given by William Burke, the prophecy by Nancy Homans, and the will by Paul Raupach. Gifts to the boys were presented by Helen Rogers, and gifts to the girls by Albert Spyut. The cast of the “Class Day Play” in- cluded : Percinet, (a lover) Arnold Hamilton. Straforel, (a bravo) Jonathan Hall. Bergamin, (father pf Percinet) James Burke. Pasquinot, (father of Sylvette) Ju- lius Bean. Sylvette, (daughter of Pasquinot) Hoseltha Witham. The parts of swordsmen and musi- cians were taken by various other mem- bers of the class. N. Homans, ’23. 34 1914 Eva Russell, a graduate of Manning, was recently married to Carl Woodbury of Ipswich. 1915 The wedding of Angie Harris to Le- roy Lane of Danvers has been an- nounced this month. 1917 Clifford Bolles apparently is one of the most ambitious of our graduates as he is working his way through Europe. We wish him a very successful trip. 1919 Ethelinda and William Tucker are to receive diplomas from Middlebury this June. Cleon Johnson and Howard Gordan are graduating from Massachusetts Ag- ricultural College. Althea Hayes plans to attend Salem Normal next September. 1921 Catherine Caldwell is graduating from Salem Normal and Ardace Savory from Salem Commercial. 35 BASEBALL This year’s team, while not up to last years, had a very successful season, winning seven out of eleven games. The feature of the season was the series with our greatest rival, Manchester. We captured two out of three games and the series. The scores were Manchester 9-0, Manning 5-3, and Manning 6-1. We also wish to express our apprecia- tion of the services rendered us by Mr. Wheeler as umpire for the majority of our games. Although in no way con- nected with the school, he gave his ser- vices willingly and was greatly inter- ested in the team. It is a pleasure to see this spirit. W. Burke ’23 Manchester 9 Manning 0 Manning opened her baseball season at Manchester. Gould and McCarthy were the battery for Manning, and Wade and McLean for Manchester. Gould started well, getting four strike outs in the first two innings. In the last of the third with two down and two strikes on the batter, Gould struck him out but the umpire didn’t see it that way. The batter then singled. A sacrifice, an error, a double, and an error scored three runs. In the fifth a double, an out, a fielder’s choice, and five singles scored five runs. The last run came in the eight on a triple and a sacrifice. The game was not so one sided as the - score would indicate. Six of the Man- ning team were caught at the plate, while in the sixth the bases were fuT with none down but no run resulted. The Lineup Manning Dondero ss-c McCarthy C-2 B. Hills L. F. Gould P.

Methuen Wins in Big Sixth Inning Methuen gave Manning its second straight defeat by a score of 8-3. Man- ning started off well scoring twice in the first on two hits, a wild pitch, and one in the third on a home run by Don- dero. Methuen came back strong in the fourth scoring two times on a dou- ble and two singles. Neither side did anything more until the fatal sixth when with two outs Manning went to pieces and Methuen tallied six times. The rest of the game showed some fine baseball by both teams. Manning staged a ninth inning rally with two out and two on. Bean, pinch hitting for Ewing walloped a Texas leaguer back of second that looked like a sure double, but the second baseman made a great catch ending the game. 12345678 9 Total Methuen 00020600 0 8 Manning 20100000 0 3 38 The Lineup Methuen Manning Russell, 3b.

Manning Seconds Defeat Georgetown 16-8 Manning’s second team defeated Georgetown 16-8 in a game featured by the hard hitting of the seconds. Manning Defeats Gr oveland 19-0 Manning’s first and second teams easily defeated Groveland 19-0. Orange and Black Downs Green and White in Great 6-1 Victory Manning defeated Manchester, our greatest rival in the third game of the series, therefore winning in hockey, track and baseball and tying in football. The Manning team played their best game this year making only one error when Wiles and Ewing came together on a pop fly. McCarthy pitched one of the best games ever played by Man- ning. “Mac” was invincible, allowing but four hits, two which were of the scratch variety. Ewing’s brilliant play- ing at second was the other feature. Several times he streaked it back of second to cut down a speedy grounder and toss out the man. Neither side got a hit in the first inning. Manning scored in the second when Dondero st olled and proceeded to pilfer second, Hills dumped a pretty bunt down the first base line and Dondero trotted to third. Then Sanders and Dondero worked a pretty squeeze play, Dondero scoring. Both teams played spectacular base- ball, neither side threatening until the fifth when Manning tucked the game away. Saunders drove out a single over sec- ond, Ewing was passed, “Mac” singled, Burke and Wiles bunted in succession and Saunders and Ewing scored. Gould singled, scoring “Mac,” Callaghan dou- bled, scoring Gould, Dondero lined over short stop, scoring Callaghan, Hills fanned, but the game was lost to Man- chester. Manchester scored their lone run in the seventh as a result of a wild throw. 12345678 9 Total Manning 01005000 0 6 Manchester 00000010 0 1 The Lineup Manning Wile, ss. Gould, lb. Callahan, If.

Manning’s Second Team Defeated Mer- rimac Again by a Score of 23-2 Danvers Topples Manning 6-0 in Last Game of Season Danvers defeated Manning 6-0 in our last game of the season. The Manning team showed a surprising reversal of 39 form from the Manchester game, mak- ing a number of costly errors. These errors might not have handed the game to Danvers had it not been for some worse umpiring. Some bad decisions stopped several Manning rallies and others allowed some Danvers runs that should never have crossed the plate. Shinneck pitched effectively for Dan- vers. The fielding of Burke featured for Manning. 123456789 Total Danvers 120000030 6 Ipswich 000000000 0 Summary : Hits off Shinneck, 6 in 9 innings; off Gould, 5 in nine innings. Two base hits, Dondero.

BASEBALL At a meeting of the letter men, El- wyn McCarthy was chosen to lead the 1924 baseball sqad. “Mac’ ' has been on the team for three years. The first as a sub outfielder and the next two as regular infielder and pitcher. “Mac” has played a great game this year, both at first and in the box. The team did well to pick him for Captain. Here’s wishing him luck. EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT “The Headlight,” Marblehead, Mass.: You have a fine paper. Your stories are well-written and “Impressions” is particularly good. We think that “The Bookery” is an excellent idea. “Brocktonia,” Brockton, Mass.: You have some fine editorials and “Aw Ma” in the literary department was true to life and very amusing; but where is your Exchange Department? “The Student’s Pen,” East Bridge- water, Mass.: Your Spring number was very interesting. The conversation in “English” as she is spoke sounded very natural and we enjoyed it very much. Your Exchange Department is good. “The Early Trainer,” Essex County Training School, Lawrence, Mass. : Your paper is very good, but may we suggest that you have a few short stories and not so many continued ones? As They See Us “The Tiger,” Ipswich, Mass.: You have a good collection of stories and the cartoon page is interesting. To have a heading before each department is a good plan. “The Headlight,” Marblehead, Mass. “The Tiger,” Ipswich, Mass.: A name well fitting the vivacity and optimistic spirit of your school, which is brought out in your paper.

Mr. Conary: “Whom are taxes raised by?” Miss Gilday: “Tax collectors.” Miss Allen, after asking a question of Miss Ryan who was well hidden be- hind Dondero: “Where is she?” Miss Bruce: “Absent — ” Bean: “Minded.” Why: Was a newspaper clipping entitled “Reds trying to ruin United States” left on Miss Bamford’s desk? Does Miss Allen always ask Miss Gil- day to open or close class windows ? Found in the Senior Stenography Ex- amination: “Give an example of an instance in which you have been tackful.” Miss Connor wished to know if she could an- swer it as it was written. Miss Bamford in quest for a subject for a graduation essay was asked by Mrs. Lord : “Are you going to take something you know or are you going to write on Julius Caesar?” F. Morong asked to explain the pas- sage, “I shall tilt to-morrow,” answered Athelstane, “in the melee,” answered, “I shall be tipsy and can ' t f ight.” A.

After the remark, “If you can’t pass quietly, pass out,” needless to say the noise did not decrease to any marked degree. Those interested in up-to-the minute styles observe — if you want the latest. straight from Paris, wear a yellow bird on the end of a stick like Mademoiselle Blodgette. Miss Bamford translating “Est parte pour la campagne” (have gone to the country) : Have gone for the cham- pagne. Miss Witham translating “Et surtout ne me tutoie pas” (and do not speak to me by the terms thee and thou) : “And do not make a fool of me.” The place of honor in Room IV has, for the last few weeks, been occupied by the class mascot, a small gray ape donated by Dondero. Its favorite rest- ing place has been one of the gas jets above the heads of the pupils. I n spite of its lofty position, however, it has been a constant reminder of our lowly origin.
