True, you have passed from our midst to our sin- cere regret, but we can never forget you. The ,lanuary 1925 Class has left an in- delible record behind it, Future classes will have to do considerable pulling even to equal your record. XYithin your ranks we find some of our most brilliant scholars and successful athletes. XVhile you were here we were justly proud of you, but now that you have de- parted we find gaps that will never be filled. You shall be cordially welcomed when you visit us, perhaps in our new building soon. lVe future seniors hope to meet you in the Alumni Association. XVe all realize that you found it hard to depart by the fitting words of your class president, who said on class night, as the closing works of his speech: We find it hard to say Auld Lang Synew. lVe can but offer here a brief expres- sion of our sorrow .at seeing you leave. You take with you our most sincere wishes for your future success. THE FIRST IMPRESSION Wie wish every senior. who is leaving the old life behind, happiness and all prosperity. XVe know you have dreamsg every senior does. May they receive speedy and complete fulfillment. Grad- uation might be called the turning point of a young person's life, the point at which the tide of success will either ebb or rise. The ebbing or rising of the tide rests with you yourself, You can be either a success or a failure, whichever you at this point choose. lf you are con- templating entering business, remember that yofur whole future success. depends upon the first impression. No matter what you may do later, it is the first im- pressioir that counts so considerably. Vllatch out, happiness or misery lies within the hollow of your hand! 'Which will it be? Perhaps you are seeking a higher ed- ucation. Remember that there too, it's the start you get that's so important. In college work you can never catch up if you don't do your tasks faithfully in the beginning. Beginning, beginning, begin- ningg it's probably been dinned into you since childhood. llut no matter how familiar you are with the words, it's best not to lose sight of the fact of their tre- mendous importance. Ancient crities, which have weathered the innumerable storms of ages. would have toppled long 'ere this if the seers of the time had not realized the vital importance of starting right. At this point, we might address this to the others as well as the graduates, Perhaps starting right, as it concerns others. is still more important than' it is THE ORACLE Z9 in connection with the seniors. Since we are still in school, but will be soon leav- ing, it is very necessary that we leave a favorable impression behind us. It's much better to be remembered pleasantly than unpleasantly, isn't it? If we do our very best at the beginning of the new term, we cannot help making a favorab-le impression on orur teacher's very very impressionable mind. Think about it and see if it isn't worthwhile. Perhaps a little exitra care now will save a great deal of needless self-reproach and sorrow later on, Don't get into the habit of thinking, Oh, I don't feel like doing this nowg I can easily catch up later. You can'tg you'll End yourself in a terrible muddle if you go ati your work with that idea. Laziness in the beginning may mean an extra six months later on. Again we say, success and prosperity. PRACTICING ECONOMY Congress has sustained the Presidental veto of the Postal Employees' lVage Bill. Though the margin with which it was sustained in the Senate was slight, nevertheless the bill was defeated. Presi- dent Coolidge gave as his reason for veto- ing the bill the fact that it would be an additional burden for the taxpayers to bear. It would necessitate the expendi- ture of approximately sixty-eight more millions of dollars yearly. Taxes could not be lowered and they might have to be increased to provide the necessary funds. Congress and 'the President acted wisely in defeating the bill. Perhaps this statement seems radically wrong. We admit that the postal employees deserve a raise and we are strongly in favor ot granting them one at once. But what we do object to is the passage of a bill which makes no provision whatsoever to meet the additional expense incurred by its features. President 'Coolidge wants governmental economy and so do we. He promised economy and he is practicing it when he vetoes such a bill. What we should like to see, and we believe we shall very shortly, would be a bill to in- crease the postal rates slightly and give the postal employeesi a lwage increase also. This would be constructive legis- lation which would at the same time em- body the economical feature. What one of us would refuse to pay an extra cent postage on our mail when we knew the good that -one cent was accomplishing? We paid it during the war and aren't we still here? We certainly hope that such a bill may be introduced and passed be- cause the postmen badly need and cer- tainly deserve increased compensation. We hope that this can 'be accomplished in the near future. OUR GRATITUDE We hereby express in a few words our deep gratitude to all those who contri- buted to making this issue possible. NV e thank both those who were instrumental in its preparation and also those who purchased it. To the members of the staff we extend our hearty thanks. XVe hope that it lives up to your expectations and our promises. MY LAST ISSUE Four months ago, I undertook the Editorship of the ORACLE. Since I am a candidate for graduation this term, I am obliged to resign my position on the staff This issue is my last, and I have tried to make it my best. During the past term, the ORACLE has been increased materially in its size, and. I hope. the quality of its material has become better proportionate- ly. But it is not for me to comment on the qualities, good or bad, of the issues this past term. This privilege, if it mav 30 T lol E ORACLE be called such, falls to each reader as an individual. From the increasing support given it at each succeeding issue by you teachers and pupils, l feel justified in saying that it has met with your approval. I must express my appreciation of the assistance. willingly given of the faculty members of the staff. At the same time, I must thank the various members of the staff and also the room representa- tives for their contributions in making the ORAcI.E the success it has been this term. My one desire, as I vacate my position, is that you will continue your support, increasing it whenever the op- portunity is offered to do so, to whoever may succeed me as Iiditor. NIALCOLM A. Tnoims IS IT A SERVICE LEAGUE' VV e feel that the members of the Roosevelt Service League are bringing the League to a point where it no longer stands for the high principles for which it was formed. l.ately We have noticed that there are very few members who faithfully attend to assignments. This is making it very hard for your olT1cers. If you cannot be present at an assignment, notify the sec- retary so that someone may take your place. If conditions are not improved. it will be necessary to resort to drastic measures. XVe feel that if you knew you would be dropped for not upholding the League, you would be more faithful. ln the future please live up to the rules and make the Service League really stand for SIERYICFIY 4 LlN11f0Flff'IIl 0111 sim 0 lm ltllllli Inna fnzrnf flu da th of l all: 1 ll tf'.' ,- .I 'cr S-Vlllflllflljl to Mr. L70.N'T7Ill'g1I in 1. lu-T v 7l K' 1 aa I zis f 6 '.

Many a boy to- day thanks llill Fairhairn for his solici- tude and his kindly endeavors to iron out the difticulti-es of the man in the making. Many a student during those thirty-six years would have quit the whole thing because of some dilliculty or other had not Mr. Fairbairn' loaned an ear to the trouble and with a consoling word made the disconsolate one think hetter of his decision. A few members of QI. H.

O11 THE ORACLE 33 AS WE GO TO PRESS XYHERES THE HUNDRED PAGE ISSUE F As soon as you pick up this issue of the ORACLE, your wandering eyes will probably roam through the book and light on the number of the last page, 80. Then, it will suddenly dawn on you that accord- ing to the placards in the rooms, the the you speeches of the circulation staff and words of your room representatives were promised 100 pages for twenty-five cents. Of course your next question will vs be, lYhere are the other 20 pages? Now, the purpose of this article is to explain just why the other twenty pages did not materialize. ln the first place, we expected a circulation amounting to nineteen hundred copies. XV e erred greatly in expecting this evidently for the actual circulation at the time of the composition of this article is only four- teen hundred. We could not have made a one hundred page issue pay for itself unless we had sold nineteen hundred copies. XYe depended on you for support as far as circulation goes, but we did not get as nmch as we expected. YVe, there- fore. feel perfectly justified in cutting the issue down to such a size as will pay for itself. Secondly, .we asked for new advertise- ments of any nature whatsoever. VVC expected from this appeal a flood of new ads , including regular business place advertisements. complimentary ads from puplils and complimentary ads from the various enrolling rooms and clubs in the school. True we did get a few, but not as many as we expected. For this reason and the one previously stated, you are getting an eighty page issue instead of a one hundred page issue. XYe are giving you the best we can for the support you' are giving us. XV e feel as- sured that you will be satisfied with this issue. Personally, we have never seen its equal in this school for the same amount of money. For proof of this statement, you have but to look at last ternfs year book, the previous term's senior issue or any other one which 'has been issued up to this time in this school. We are frankly admitting that it is not what we promised but we are telling you why so you cannot say that we put something over on you. SPEAKING OF THE ORACLE - Did you know that this magazine is the biggest monthly, running in any of the New York City High Schools? It enjoys the largest circulation of any monthly in the city and ranks high as far as size is concerned. NVQ cannot say it has more pages than any other, because of this fact we are not so' sure. It is such only because you pupils have sup- ported it by both your contributions and subscriptions. But another great factor in its success has been the untiring efforts of the various staffs who have managed it. Certainly great credit is cast upon the school by it. l WE HAVE soME ARDRNT str- PORTERS l-ook through the advertisements in this issue carefully. You will find some from enrolling rooms and some from in- dividuals. besides the regular ardent sup- porters of the ORAcLE. Has your room one or have you an individual one? If not. why not? We thank those who advertised in this issue because they made it a possibility. Patronize those merchants who 'helped your school monthly. They are behind youq Are you with them? 3-l THE ORACLE l A DODGER OF NEPTUNE'S REALM liiy Hiuzoro Misviik lt is customary on the southbound steamers to South America, to initiate those passengers, who are crossing the equator for the first time, into the king- dom of Neptune, God of the Seas. There was a lively, fun-making crowd on the boat, numbering about one hundred twenty-five persons of whom at least sixty were to be initiated, so that a great deal of fun was expected. One night. when most of the passen- gers were at dinner. the lights suddenly went out and the whistles and bells start- ed to blow and ring at a furious rate. The first thought of the passengers, natur- ally, was that the boat was sinking, until a man, dressed in a bathing suit, decorated with sea-weed and all sorts of nautical objects, entered the room. This was the fore-runner or announcer of the Neptune Sports which were to be held the follow- ing afternoon. lfach of the victims received a paper which turned out to be a will to be filled out disposing of all property and appointing an executor. This will was to be signed by two witnesses and turned in at the purser's office or else the punishment inflicted would be more severe. There was a great deal of joking '2 4. about these wills, and all night, in the smoking and writing salons, the unfortu- nates could be seen scribbling out wills and signing fictitious names. The day for the initiations was simply beautiful. The sun shone down from a spotlessly blue sky. The water rolled by with waves like glass. not a ripple on them. All that morning sixty of the passengers walked around quietly and fearfully, eagerly waiting for the after- noon to come. The ceremony was to be performed in the back part of the boat where a canvas tank had been erected. The sun balcony on the upper deck overlooked this spot so that it was an ideal place to hold an affair of this kind. Long before the ap- pointed time a great crowd surrounded the execution place and examined the in- struments of torture consisting of a ham- mer. a large pair of pinchers, a dish of repulsive looking crackers, and a water- bottle full of some undoubtedly unap- petizing fluid. XVhen all had assembled, a drum was heard and the crowd of butchers walked in. In the group were Neptune, the doc- tor, the barber, the police, and other vari- ous helpers, all dressed up very similar to the fore-runner of the previous night. Their plan of punishment was simple, yet severe. The names of the victims THE O were called off one by one. The desig- nated. first, made a grand and flourish- ing bow. He was paddled with two boards so fastened that at the impact they clapped together and made a terri- ble noise. Then Neptune accused the offender of having committed terrible crimes and meted out punishment in ac- cordance. First, the doctor gave an examination with a hammer, pinchers, and pump. After being maltreated with medicine and ice water, the victim was passed on to the barber where he was shaved with a huge razor several feet long. The lather was made of salt-water and flour and was applied with a large paint-brush. As a Final touch, a slide, head forward, down a chute into the tank was administered. One after another the passengers went thru this initiation. Needless to say, there were many startling and laughable inci- dents, one especially causing quite a stir. Among the initiated passengers was a man of huge build, a cattleman from Canada. This 1113.11 came out in an enor- mous woman's bathing suit. He was so wild that it took practically all of the executioners to hold him in order to per- form the initiation, and even at that he nearly succeeded in upsetting the table of of crackers and medicine. VVhen thrown into the tank, he grabbed two men, one under each arm, and carried them along. Suddenly a name was called to which there was no response. The ceremonies were stopped and the police were sent out to fetch the offender, but he could not be found. Soon the search became general. everybody looking everywhere for the culprit. In the cabins, thru all the rooms, and even in the engine room they looked but to no avail. He could not be found. and it looked as though Neptune was to be cheated out of a victim. The ceremon- RACLE 35 ies continued and were 'finally finished amidst a grand free for all. Then a startling discovery was made. A woman who had stood watching the fun, heavily veiled, now lifted her veil and who should it be, but the man who had been sought for so carefully. lt was evident that he had been befriended by some woman among the passengers who had dressed him up beyond recognition. The chagrin of the executioners was un- speakable. They had sought and search- ed for a man standing within twenty- five feet of them. and had allowed him to- pass the equator uninitiated. It is incidents like these that put life and fun into an ocean voyage and make it one of those unforgettable remin- iscences in a person's life. HPARDSI! By CnAR1,oTris Bonn jim and Mike had been pards for ten years. They were gold diggers in a wild region of the Klondike. The nearest village was fifty miles away, so one of them went there once a month to purchase supplies. They had the reputation of having but one enemy--Ed Sims, a man who was the enemy of all mankind- whose policy was to live on other people's money. It was in the month of October, and .Tim had gone to the village. late in the afternoon of the third day after his de- parture, Mike saw two horsemen riding toward the Camp , as they called their tiny hut. He soon recognized the ta- miliar features of Jim and hailed him joyfully. To his surprise, Jim was rather sulky. He introduced the stranger as Dan Norton, a man who was new in the country, and who wished to camp with them for only a few days to learn a little of the life of a miner, before he joined a permanent mining-camp. 36 THE ORACLE Mike looked at him suspiciously, but saw nothing in the heavy black beard or regular-featured face to deserve sus- picion. jim went to the crystal stream near by to refresh himself with a draught from its clear depth. He passed Mike leading the horses to the stream, but he kept his eyes stubbornly on the ground. XVhen they were both back again, they found the stranger sitting before a merry crackling fire in front of the small hut, which Mike and Jim used as a bedroom and storehouse. They sat down to an early supper of canned beans, biscuits and hot coffee. Any news? asked Mike. Nope, answered Jim shortly. Mike stared at Jim: XVhat was the matter with him? No news of Fd Sims P ventured Mike again. Jim did not deign to answer. He mere- ly shook his head impatiently. Neither had noticed the scarcely per- ceptible start of the stranger. 'After another long interval of silence. Jim finally announced that he would turn in. and bade the others an abrupt good night. XYhat's the matter with him anyhow P demanded Mike of the stranger. Dunno answered Norton with a shrug. He puffed his pipe silently for a while, then said suddenly, 'fHow long have you been paling with him P jerking his finger toward the hut. Mike stared at him impolitely, but nevertheless he answered Ten years. And you've never quarreledP asked Norton. Again Mike stared. XVhat was he in- sinuatingP Naw, he answered. Do you realize, said the stranger again. after an interval of silence, that he is younger than you and young people cannot resist temptation P Mike took a deep breath. Do you mean -he asked, visions ot Jim taking their gold, filling his mind. Exactly, said the stranger. Mike sat thinking a long while, then he said suddenly and fiercely, Pack up and get out. There was no resisting the fierce order, so Norton obeyed it with haste. After he had gone, Mike sat down again thoughtfully smoking his pipe. I wonder, he mused as he remembered jim's queer actions of the afternoon. He got up, smothered the fire and quietly entered the hut. He went slowly to the center of the room, picked a small log out of its place in the Hoor and found the space beneath it empty. For the moment he was too stunned to feel any emotion. Then anger seized him. He strode over to his companion's cot, to find him staring at him with Wide-open eyes. Some friend. sneered fini. The stranger was right. Do you think that I stole the gold P asked Mike. VV'ho did then P demanded Jim cold- ly. ''But-but-you-I-er-where is it? I did not take it. It is not here,', said Mike, the sentences tumbling one on top of the other. They looked at each other for a mo- ment, comprehension slowly dawning on their faces: then Jim said. Dan Norton, alias Ed Sims. got the best of us. He asked me on the way, if I had ever sus- pected you. and gave me I as I thoughtj good reason for doing so.', Some disguise thought, muttered Then'he held out his hand and said to Jim, Sorry to have thought such Mike. a thing of you. Still Pards P And .Tim answered, Still Pardsf' THE ORACLE 37 THE KIDNAPPER It all came of Ed's being a twin and Jacks sending that letter and Polly's go- ing to the Alpha Theta house party. Of course Ed couldn't help being a twin nor did Polly dream of what was to happen at the house party, but jack could have written a different letter. Thereupon Polly blamed Ed and Ed blamed Dick and Dick-but I might as well begin at the beginning and get things straight. A5 long as the letter jack sent is the only evidence in black and white I'll just re- peat it word for word. It ran this way. Thursday Morning Dearest Polly: The house party comniences tomor- row, so have your duds packed in time to catch the 12:30 train. I have got to play football with the freshmen team at Williston and Won't be back until Satur- day morning or afternoon. One of the frat fellows is going to look after you until I get back and be at the station to meet you. Says he will wear a white Carnation in his button hole and wants to know if you will wear some red roses if he sends them. Hope you two will get along all right until your big brother can' get back to lake care of you. Hastily yours, jack. P.S.-Of course he's tall, dark and handsome. There was nothing for Polly to do but carry out her plans and go, so after much confusion and excitement she was started on her way wearing a huge bunch of red roses which had arrived just a little before train time with the inscrip- tion To my unknown Lady Fair, from The Knight of the VVhite Carnation. After a mad dash for the train, Polly settled down in a seat and breathed fer- vently, VVell, I'm started at last. Thank fortune for that. I thought when I saw that letter of jacks that I Wasn't going to get to the house-party at all. She sniffed eagerly at her huge bunch of roses, Oh you beauties! But who sent them? Until this minute I've been so busy that I haven't had time to take a sober thought, Of all the mixups-all that jack's letter says is that a friend of his wearing a white Carnation in his coat is to meet me! I Wonder who he is and what he,s like! XVith such engrossing thoughts, mile after mile sped by unheeded until I'olly found herself rudely awakened from her reveries by the guard calling out the name of her destination. W'ith a start she jumped and, suitcase in hand, made her way through the throng of passen- gers to the platform of the station. Now it happened that Edgar Lynn had just received a telegram from his sister as he stood at one end of the station. Perhaps that accounted for the discon- solate droop of his shoulders as he stood watching the crowd of passengers alight. Tough luckf' he said with a sigh, that she had to sprain her ankle just now. That means I do without a girl at this house party. He plucked aimlessly at the white car- nation in his -buttonhole and listlesslv looked about at the numerous groups of young people in the station. just then he felt a light touch on his arm, and a rosy face lighted up by a pair of very merry brown eyes smiled up at him. Oh Mr. Lynn, said the owner of the brown eyes, who of course was Polly, Oh, Mr. Lynn, I am so glad that you are my Knight of the VVhite Carnotionf' Your roses were beautiful, she contin- ued. You see I wore them, but even with such a tag you didn't find me. With a start Ed pulled himself to- gether. Holy Smokes! She's got the 38 . THE ORACLE wrong party! llut no, she surely knows mell' Aloud he stannnered, I er-er-you see I was looking in the wrong direc- tion. CInwardly he said, Believe me, I'm going to follow this up and see what happens , Indeed you were looking the wrong way, answered Polly, so taken up with the excitement of her arrival that she noticed nothing strange in her escort's demeanor. Wl1y, I spoke to you twice and you never heard me, Polly contin- ued, until I touched you. But isn't it jolly that you are to chaperone me? Do you know, jack never told me who was to meet me and take care of me until he get back from Vylilliston? All he said in his letter was that his friend would wear a white carnation. But hadn't we 'better start for the college-'lack said we were to go to the football game this :afternoon and-l' Of course, how stupid of me to keep you standing here, said Ed as he tried ato gather his scattered wits together, But you see I was so surprised to see you-again-so suddenly, that er- ' It was rather sudden wasn't it P agreed Polly, but do let's hurry. lack said I'd 'better race right up to the Alpha Theta 'house and leave my suitcase before we went to the ball grounds. Surely, if we hurry we can get there before much of it is played, asserted Ed. I'll call a carriage and you can 'wait in it while I attend to your trunk. While Polly had been light upon the matter had Ed, and as he went to trunk, he chuckled softly 'I've got it now! She's Jack Patterson's sister, and he's asked somebody to take care of her, while he's playing with the team at VVilliston! Oh babe-what a peach she is! I'll bet she's who Dick speaking a dawned on get l'olly's to himself, Raymond is after. Gee whiz! He had a carnation' in his coat! I'll have to get rid of those roses of hers or he'll recog- nize her and cut me out. 50 thinking, Ed stopped and bought a bunch of violets and lilies of the valley which he presented to Polly with the rather lame excuse, The roses are rather withered you know. I wish you'd wear these in- stead. It seems a shame to throw my roses away, answered Polly. They were so pretty. But as Ed insisted she Wore the violets and dropped the tell-tale roses out of sight behind a barrel. It was only a short ride to the college and Ed managed to keep the conversa- tion in safe waters until they drew up be- He found fore the Alpha Theta house. out from one of the fellows where Polly was to room and while she hurried up- the football story to the frat fellows lingering about in the living to help him stairs to make ready for game, Ed hurriedly told his room. They all promised keep Polly from the clutches of her right- ful chaperon, chuckling over the joke on Dick Raymond. Good night! YVon't he be sore ! they shouted, A clean get away-On with the dance ! Ed rushed Polly off to the football game just as soon as he could manage a hasty introduction to the fellows at the fraternity house and once at the game she became so engrossed in it that she for- got to ask any inquisitive questions which might have occurred to her. But during one of the halves she did venture on the shady edge of Ed's carefully planned conversation to remark naively, Isn't it queer that we should meet again after a whole year?

During THE ORACLE 43 noon, the Club sang German Christmas songs. Among these present were Miss Dilger. Mrs. Fuhrmann, Miss -loslyn and Mr. Hagens. A COLORED REVUE There is .a treat in store for jamaica High. The Dramatic Society is pre- paring to present an all colored revue during the early part of next term for the benefit of the General Organiza- tion. joseph Slocum who is coaching the show, Dancing Through, wrote the book and in the compiling of the lyrics he was fortunate enough to se- cure the assistance of Messrs. Sissle and Blake of The Chocolate Dandiesf' The dances in the production will trip the light fantastic to the strains of The Dukesl' jazz orchestra, a synco- pating array of well-known musicians under the able leadership of Charles White ,a former pupil of Jamaica High School, MR. THOMPSON We are, indeed, glad to see Mr. Thompson in school again, While he was ill in the hospital, the boys of 403 sent him books and flowers. They hope he has regained good health. MISS LAWRENCE The members of the faculty and all Miss Lawrence's pupils missed her very much during hier absence. We sinoerely hope her health is improved and that she will be able to continue her attendance at school. SENIOR PROM. The night of Dec, 19th was clear and coolg just the right kind of night for a Prom. The orchestra was exceptionally -good, the Pouch found to be a very con- xenierrt place for holding a dance, and to top it all the dance itself was a success socially and financially, Many of the former J. H. S. graduates were present and we were honorezl by a goodly num- ber of the faculty. SENIOR GIRLS CHRISTMAS PARTY The girls of room 301 have been oc- cassionally giving parties for the last two and one half years. Miss Gay has always been an eager helper and admirer. This Christmas the girls decided to give a Christmas party in the gym at noon- time on December 24th. They were very sorry to learn that Miss Gay could not at- tend because of her intended absence from school. We were all very much de- lighted at the daintv copy of Dickens Christmas Carols with which Miss Gay remembered each girl. They expressed their appreciation individually, and take this opportunity to thank her once again. Miss Sandry chaperoned our party and was a very pleasant chaperone indeed. Ice cream and cake were serv-ed as re- freshments and a grab bag excited great enthusiasm. Dancing was indulged in by those who felt so inclined, THE ART CLUB The Art Club held a dance in the gym- nasium ou Friday. December 12. john Connors had promised to provide an or- chestra and after Waiting more than an hour, we thought we would have to re- turn the admission fee to the large num- ber present fover l9O'l. But George Valentine and Gladys Miller very kindly helped us out by volunteering to play. Gladys Miller helped at the piano. So the day was saved. Miss Kuelm and Miss Sandry were very much pleased to know that there are some people in school who are willing to 44 THE ORACLE volunteer at activities without a great deal of unnecessary coaxing and who do it without any thought of pay. Have you noticed the splendid covers the ORACLE has been wearing this year? There has been a cover contest each month and competition has been keen among the art students. Certainly they've done well. H . S. has been gorgeously decorated with posters throfughout the year. first G. O., then Art Dance, then Proming posters, each more beautiful than the last. The Art Department and the students deserve much praise for their work during the past term. ARISTA THEATRE PARTY Many have praised the musical play, Rose Marie . and many have seen it, so, with their judgment and the excell- ent criticism it has received as a back- ground, Arista. that highly intellectual organization of UI. H. S. decided to see that for their semi-annual theatre party. On VV'edncsday?, january 7th, many of the Arista students coiuld be seen leaving the school building at one o'clock, with a broad smnile of content- ment spread across their physiognomies. The cause of this, as you may easily guess, wasthe fact that they were ex- cused from all afternoon classes. Now, please don't presume that the Arista stu- dents aren't human, and don't rejoice at the prospect of eluding a few choice per- iods, such as Latin, History or French. We arrived at the theatre in good time and had a few minutes before the the curtain went up. The play came up to our highest anticipations and proved to be so good that Mr. Vosburgh admitted it was the best he had ever seen. To our great surprise and delight, Mr. Vos- burgh supplied each row tthere were Eve rows tool with a box of delicious chocolates. Owing to the crowded con- ditions many of us were unable to thank Mr. Vosburgh personally and so take this opportunity to express our gratitude. Our chaperones and guests 'were Miss Harding, Mrs. Pfeiffer, Mr. Brokhahne and Mr. Vosburgh. DEBATING TEAM VICTORIOUS Our debating team has been eagerly anticipating a debate with Richmond Hill. On December 23, its anticipa- tion became a realization and good old H. S.'s team not only debated, but also won. The subject of the debate was Re- solved, that the United States Subsi- dize the Construction and Operation of an American Merchant Marine. Vir- ginia Noll, Raymond Fuessle, Otto Schuester and Ethel Drinkwater fal- ternatej of our team upheld the nega- tive side, while Bernard Browne, Earl Stelson, Frederica Laesch and Frank Georgie Calternatej were of the affirm- ative. The judges were Reverend Rolla E. Hunt of Richmond Hill Baptist Church, Principal Martin Joyce of P. S. 97, Queens, and Principal Frederick XV. Mar of P. S. 106, Brooklyn. The debate was interesting and spir- ited. Our debaters spoke with convic- tion and reason, due to their own ear- nest efforts and to the excellent coach- ing of Mr. Heidt, the team's coach and adviser. Thinking it over, it seems to me as if a. few trivial things were against us rather than for us. The subject debat- ed had been chosen by Richmond Hill's team, the judges had been selected by the opposing team's coach and the de- bate ensued in the Richmond Hill au- ditorium, which was. of course, unfam- iliar ground to our debaters. Never- THE ORACLE theless, when the judges rendered their decisions it was discovered that our team had won unanimously. VVe congratulate the debaters upon their well earned success. THE SCIENCE CLUB ln September 1923, the idea ot a Sci- ence Club in bl. ll. S. was first thought of, However the Club was not organ- ized until .lanuarv 1924, when a meeting was called which all students interested in Science were invited to attend. Xt this meeting' Schuster was elected President, lirown, Yice-l'resident, Davis Secretary. and Kliss ,-Xlterman, Treas- urer. The Science Club has had many interesting meetings since then. Several talks have been given bv the members of the club. The most interesting lec- ture this year was given by Nr. Jaffe of the Faculty. There was a large attend- ance at this lecture. On October Z-lth. the Science Club gave a dance in the gym. The aH'air was a huge success and the profits re- alized were used to buy pictures of fam- ous scientists. The Club plans to award a prize each t-erm for the best working model.

All the after dinner speeches were interesting tan umisual thing indeedlj and so-me of them were astonishingly witty, The dinner was excellent of course but it only served as an excuse to meet to talk over the past season, award the gold footballs, and elect the captain and manager for l925. .Xfter the dinner was over and every- body had everybody elsels autograph. our revered and respected little coach l'ulvy , acting as toastmaster. the real business of the evening began. Ile first introduced the members of the squad to the company, altho most of them needed no introduction, eulogizing' tespleqially 4 fld Reliable Charley Behringer, The Youth Rocks Ley, l,ee Trantum, the Pinch Hittern, llerk Dowell. the llrains of the team, lid llardy, the Flash and lfrank Xllolcott the lini- wark of Strength . .fudge liochen- dorfer' the main speaker of the evening, pointed out the problems that .Xmeriean Youth has to face. and encouragged foot- ball as a means of making better men. Mr. Vosbnrgh, the man who has done so much for us. in a brief. pithy speech. complimented the team on its excellent showing, and assured them that he and the whole school were behind the team and would be in the future. The var- ious fathers and friends of the team spoke. after which the gotd footballs were given out. The surprise of the evening came when Captain Frank XVol- cott presented a large silver football to Mr. l'ulvermacher. in behalf of the team. The election of the l9Z5 Captain and manager then took place and Ed. llardy and Jerry lloyle were both elected nn- animously. lid. is nntluestionably the best and only man suitable for captain. while jerry Doyle, by reason of his ev- pericnce as manager of the Midgets. and his capacity for hard work, is very de- serving of the managerial job. G. A. A. ENDS HOCKEY SEASON The girls have just ended their hog-key season. They were unable to continue. much to their regret. because of the cold weather. They met at Kings Park every Monday afternoon, lloys, if you want to get a few points on hockey you ought to watch them play. They will continue in the spring with basketball, tennis and hockey. Any Qrl desiring to join will be gladly accepted. The officers of the association are: Pres. .............

The club meets every Thursday after- noon, Friday afternoon and Saturday moming. At present, the horses are resting peacefully until the beautiful spring weather when they will begin to trot. The very competent officers are Car- olyn Flanagan, l'residen,tg Rose Rorech. Vice-Presidentg Yivian Toohill, Treas- urerg and Mary Lewis. Secretary. At the end of the season contests are held and awards are made to the winners. The club is expecting to have a silver cup on which the champion's name is to be inscribed and the date on which it was won. RIFLE TEAM jamaica High's rifle team by reason of a 745 point score now ranks sev- enth in the P. S, A. L. rifle tourney. The score of Morris High, the win- ner, was 1006.

And that means .a great deal. If the '25 team even shows a semblance of the great form of the Champs, jamaica may well consider another champion- ship annexed. Although as yet no P. S. A. L. sche- dule has been made. due to the lack of a rink. Jamaica will play several dual matches and will probably hit the high spots in hockeydom. Only one regular has remained of ja- maica's last years team, Baylis. a good captain and a corker on skates. There are several subs to choose from, and an unlimited number of rookies A probable line-up would be: Left wing ........ Decker or Shevlin Right wing .. . ...

BY NEWTOWN 39-36 The clever Bernie Morris tribe of lilmhurst. invaded Jamaica, Tuesday, Dec. 9th, and broke the hearts, Qand in some cases, the pocketbooksj of a large Red and lllue turnout, by proving that a game is never won until the final whistle. Our usually scrappy quintet played a listless game in the first half and conse- quently. we were on the short end of a 20-10 score at half-time. Coming out full of fight in the second half, jamaica scored nine points before the speedy Grand Streetersu could End the basket. Hut they snapped out of their trance with a vengeance and after several min- utes of scrapping were leading by six lWUll1tS, 31-25. 52 THE ORACLE Then on to the court trotted smiling, confident Bill Torrey, subbing for Hubey Baylis. just how Bill did it we don't exactly know yet, but somehow or other, after several thrilling minutes of terrific combat, Jamaica was ahead, thanks mainly to the efforts of one William Winclier Torrey. The staid church gym was in an uproar, and Jam- aica rooters began to chant Hold 'em now Jamaica! Hold 'eml Hold 'eml HOLD 'EM. Only a minute and a half to go! All to no avail however. Our defense held for about fifteen seconds, then the insuperable fBern.ie Moi-rfis scored two field goals and sank two foul shots. As the whistle blew, Dan Shimeall, sterling Red and Blue guard, dropped in a field goal for two useless points. RICHMOND HILL DEFEATS JAMAICA The school spirit of a good many ar- dent rooters, suffered a relapse Thurs- day, December 11, when the basket- ball team dropped its fourth straight game, losing to Richmond Hill 21-19. The defeats at the hands of Newtown and 'Bryant, were at le.ast honorable ones, hard fought, well played games, and being beaten by an inferior team like Richmond Hill, after .almost con- quering the league leaders was a source of great humiliation to the more en- thusiastic of our supporters. We have since defeated them decisively, how- ever, to the thorough satisfaction of every loyal Jamaicaite. The court was slippery and poorly lighted: both teams consequently dis- playing a wretched brand of basket- ball. VVith the score 19-19, and less than a minute to go, Block of Richmond Hill was fouled twice, and dropped in two out of the four free throws, win- ning the game for the Red and Grey. BASKETBALL TEAM TROUNCES F REEPORT 28-23 Our hard-fighting, but unlucky quin- tet, broke a four game losing streak Fri- day, Dlecemlber 12th, at Freepolrt, by beating the southshore courtmen in a rough and tumble affair, 28--23. That necessary evil, the foul shot, was very much in evidence, thruout the evening, practically half of Freeport's points be- ing scored on free throws. That a good deal of this was, due to the irritability of the ref, is shown by the fact that that touchy individual called no less than twenty-nine fouls on the Jamaica five, who are, as you undoubtedly know, one of the cleanest collection of players that ever represented this school. Cream Friedell, aggressive little cap- tain, was high score man with seven points to his credit. Levy played his usual good game. JAMAICA VS. FLUSHING Flushing took a severe drubbing at the hands of Jamaica in the first Flushing-Jamaica, match. The basket- ball team emulated the footballers in this performance, not by their tactics and play, but in the fact that they shoved Flushing into defeat. The game was a fast one, and hard played. Coach Copeland sent in his second team and sprang a Knute Rocknef' But the gray matter functioned cor- rectly, for the second team held Flush- ing to even terms and the score at the end of the first half was tied, 10- 10. Copey had little else to do, how- ever, in his choice of players, as some of our sterling regulars were out. Mal Powell, Zivitz, and Baylis, three of our best, were on the sidelines due to inapportune injuries. Baylis, Shim- eall and Friedell went into the game in the second half and together with the T HE ORACLE MAKING GUUII IN BUSINESS WILL YJU MAKE SUUIJ II BUSINESS?

L. re- solved itself into a defeat for Jamaica at the hands of the erstwhile Red De- vils and the team had a 22-10 score thrown in their teeth. Jamaica was far off her usual game and the f'Blush- ing Flushingitesu really showed an ex- cellent type of play. That Jamaica was, as aforesaid, off her game, and that Flushing was. as aforesaid. off her usual game and on a far better one. may be easily seen in a comparison of the first sparkling triumph over the 'Roseate IHIPSH and the leaden fall before the same. We may draw some slight comfort from the fact that nearly the whole Jamaica varsity was on the sick list. The second team tied Flushing' upon the occasion of their last clash, but could not wholly fit into the shoes of the Hrsts at the present time. JAMAICA-PASSAIC GAME Talk about your Ili: Jekyll and Mr. Hyde ! Witiiiess the jamaica High School basketball tea1n! A few days be- fore Christmas, We scored all of ten points against Flushing, a team that is, to speak frankly, not so hot . A week later we played Passaic, the wonder tive, acknowledged scholastic basketball cham- pions of these United States. We have seen both Flushing and Passaic play, and we shudder to think what the score would be if they should ever meet. And yet. what did our surprising quintet do but ring up forty points against the Jersey wizards, seven points better than the scholastic champion of New England could do a week later. The exact final score was 62-40, tho some of the Met- ropolitan newspapers had it as 63-36. Pashman and Adams were the out- standing luminaries for Passaic, while the whole Jamaica team played well to- gether, passed well and sank a good per- centage of their shots. Passaic G F Pts.

We should worry! We mildly protested, the second time and thus won ourselves a win- a genuine, rock-bottom, simon-pure victory. These hill-billies outluck just once and hgure to actually outplay us! It is to laugh. just to show that they amounted to nought, we tossed a casual 39-18 score upon the table with our cards-and lent them a bar- rel. It's their own faultg they ought to know we're touchy. The game was a corker. fast and hard. Jamaica showed beautiful team work, floor work and passing. Baylis sank some beautiful shots, which help- ed us, you know. Cream Friedell sped up and down the court like a ver- itable Friedell. The defense of Pow- ell. VVinters and Shimeall, naturallf, was extremely expeditious and effica- cious. Two-bits Zivitz was in the game for the first time in a long while. The second squad behaved when they were shunted in for the last quarter.

Toot much cannot be said or written of this- it means a great deal-it means hours of weary muscles, tired bodies, worried brains. It is the fruit of hard work, hon- est endeavor, gritty perseverance. Each member of the team is a champion- make the most of it. Each is a hero-- honor him! Each is a man-respect him! Our championship team travelled First to Southhampton and after but mild con- test, beat the enemy 17-0. A good omen, say you! The first victory, one of many. Our boys were royally entertained by the Southamptonites, but showed their dis- courtsey by winning the game. South- ampton is a champion too. Next was Glen Cove, who was sub- dued 8-6 and who was very lucky to es- cape so easily. Jamaica should have beaten Glen Cove by a large score. but, frankly, was lucky not to be ,scored fur- ther upon. Uur second victory. Bushwick was next on the program and next to fall from grace. Poor boys, they did receive a terrible drubbing. Do you remember? The score was 31-0. A vertible walkaway. Yes. Sympathy was expressed for the loser by Dynmite Max ti May Heaven be his bed this nightj N. B. Victory number three. XVe met the enemy and they were ours. A touchdown and safety and a point af- ter touchdown. A large number of Ja- maicans saw the Red and Blue triumph over the Red and Gray. It was a tight game, and Jamaica bad to step to win. But win they did, and with a vengeance. This, our fourth victory terminated in a 9-O score. Textile was a harder nut to crack. They were, yes indeed! They tied us O-O. But they didn't beat us. No, nor did any body else! But that Textile line- whuf! A rather tough proposition. rather tough. VVell? VVell, they have their Neice and their Sutherland Flushing. Punt list, look ye, let it be written that Jamaica won and an- nexed a championship. Jamaica beat Flushing in ia slashing, splashing contest when XVolcott, using a fast six-beat crawl, swam through Kingls Park for a touchdown. Ed Hardy, our own Ed, neatly uncovered the ball from the Great King Park Moi-ass and in the doing, kicked it for a goal-a full goal. To fur- ther honor the name of Hardy, George, of Flushing, f no relationj plunged Qnote ambiguityj for a touchdown. Does that leave the score 10-6? No. To be sure, Ed Hardy kicked for the point after the touchdown, making a total of 16, ten of which were allotted among the Flushing team. Think of it! Champs! And Champs, with the right sort of support and spirit for many years to come. TIEIE O RACLE 'r1ME--- THE ESSENCE OF LIFE I .Ai 1 Save If!

Gregg Shorthand wins because it is easier to learn, easier to write, easier to read-and is the swiftest of all systems.

KIDNAPPED lXC0llfllIl!l'lf from Page 38j near your camp, but do you k110W, you've changed dreadfully. Dreadfully? echoed Ed with a light- ness he was far from feeling, I didn't realize I had become such a monster. Oh not dreadful in that sense, said Polly flushing, but you seem to have become so much-older. In a Hash Ed saw why she had mis- taken him. Oh lord! I'n1 in for it now! It's that twin of mine she met. No won- der she thought she knew mel Suddenly he became conscious of the fact that Polly had asked him a question twice and that he had not answered her. Oh yes, Jack will surely be back to- morrow afternoon Qand you can bet I'm going to make the most of my time while he's awayju he concluded softly to him- self. That evening they were sitting out a dance together in a corner of the con- servatory. 'Tm having such a heavenly timef' Polly said joyfully. Just as good as though Jack were here P queried Ed anxiously. Betterly' lauglhed1'Polly, how dare you asked, oh Knight of the NVhite Car- nation! That was the dearest place you took me to for dinner, she added. It is rather pretty, Ed answered. and inwardly he said, It kept Dick Raymond out of the way, but the even- ing isn't over yet. I made a few changes in my dance H order, Polly remarked during a lull in the conversation, Did you ?', said Ed inwardly quaking. VVould you mind letting me see who the lucky gentlemen are? As long as I'm to watch out for you I might as well be- gin now. Indeed! laughed Polly, I assure you that I am of age so-adieu! And with that she slipped out into the ball- room before Ed realized where she had gone. NVhen at last he made his way out into the hall, she had already been claimed by her next partner and was dancing. As Ed stood watching her and envying the lucky dog she was with, there was a commotion at the door, and he turned in time to see Jack Patterson and Fred, his twin and heard Jack say anxiously, But, you know, Dick telegraphed me that she didn't come on that train and I got a telegram from home saying that she started. It's a good thing that game was called oi? with VVilliston so that we could get right back. Good grief l You don't think anything could have hap- pened to the girl, do you P Ed chuckled softly to himself. Well, things are happening sooner than -I thought they would. Here's where wc have some excitement when Dick finds out what he's missed. As he spoke he saw Polly approaching the place where Jack was standing, hid- den from her by some tall palms. She was saying goodbye to her last partner and Dick Raymond was advancing to meet her, although he had no idea who she really was. He did not reach her however, for just then jack caught sight of her, As he came out from behind the palm Polly's eyes opened wide in astonishment as she met his startled gaze, . Why Jack. she began- Tl-IE ORACLE 79 VVhen did you come? Dick said you didn't dame on that train. YV'ho met you? Howiq IVho said I didn't come? Who is Dick? Mr. Lynn was waiting for me weren't you ? she asked turning to Fred? Brut in reply to her query If red Lynn only looked at her in amazement and burst out with, 'Tm awfully glad to see you again Miss Patterson. Itis been such a while since we met, but I couldn't very well have met you today. Polly looked at him indignantly, A long while since we've met! VVhy, Mr. Lynn! How perfectly horrid of you to say that when you have been with me all day and- Fred lolz-ked' att! Jack uppealingily. What does this mean? I haven't seen her before in a year and I've been down at VVilliston with you since yesterday. Dick Raymond arrived on the scene at this point, and then everybody surely did begin talking at once. Dick: But how did you get here? VV ho niet you and looked after--'I Polly: Brut how could you have ex- pected to meet me when Mr. Lynn did ? Fred: But I didn't. I haven't been here to-- Jack: Son1ething'5 evidently wrong here. Now Polly be reasonable. How could Fred have been with you to-day when-. VVell, interrupted a voice. perhaps I can clear things up a little, and there stood Ed beside his twin brother, a per- fect image of him. Polly looked from Fred to Ed. and from Ed to Fred. Then she sank down into the nearest chair and hid her face in her hands. Oh. she groaned What a terrible, terrible mix up! Then at her doleful aspect the humor- ous side of the affair struck the fellows, and they laughed uproariously. Uh, Polly, Polly, gasped Jack, you always were a corker for getting mixed and now you've done it for fair !'l But you look just alike,', Polly said turning to the twins, and I didn't know who was to meet me, and I thought you were waiting foin ine, she continued, turning to Fred. No, you thought I was the one wait- ing for you, corrected Fd. You don't know us apart yet. I did happen to have on a white carnation and it was all so simple. You told me all I needed to know to kidnap you and I couldnyt resist the temptation. Oh, said Polly, 'Tm so ashamed, I-I- and with that she turned and fied out on the darkened veranda. Quick as she went, Ed went after her with a laughing, I can't lose my prize now to jack l And in the darkest corner of the porch swing he found her, her burning face hidden between her hands. He leaned over her and gently raised her flushed face. Look at me, Pollyll' he commanded, and, Qell me you're glad I kidnapped you. She opened her eyes slowly and looked up into his face. Then her eyes dropped suddenly as she echoed softly, 'Tm glad you kidnapped me-glad-glad. -F. H. - 'U IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE E COMPLIMENTS OF LAWRENCE LOUGHLIN E AND MALCOLM A.
