THE AMAICA H IG!-'I SCHOOL JAMAICA - NllW YORK 'T L 1 THE ORACLE oun PRINCIPAL l4l THE ORACLE T0 THE JUNE GRADUATES 1929 ln these semi-annual letters to graduates, it becomes difficult after a time, to say the same thing, in a different way. l might give you loads of advice, but I am afraid that young people these days do not take kindly to the preaching of older people. Experience is the surest, though perhaps the most expensive teacher. l hope you have enjoyed your days in jamaica High School - enjoyed them enough to feel reluctant to leave. Some of my most pleasant hours are spent with the boys and girls who visit us after graduation, and who are good enough to call on me in my office. Perhaps you will keep up the custom. A few days ago l ran across a few lines which I should like to pass on to you as a philosophy of lite. To be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars: to be satisfied with your possessions, but not contented with yourself until you have made the best of them: to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and meanness and to fear nothing except cowardiceg to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgustsg to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends, and spend as much time as you can with body and with spirit in God's out-of-doors. Cordially yours, l5l THE ORACLE Camera Study of Two Pieces by Peggy Reid l6I THE Vol. XX Book 4 JAMAICA ORACLE I it Q2 Hiiffi izwJlll1fw,5 i3uv.'?3 50 Cents June, 1929 NEW YORK Editor ..... .......... .............................. .

SPRINGMEYER It has been a privilege and n pleas- ure to serve as sponsor for the claas of June, '29. It is with mingled feel- ing of joy and regret that the end of the sponsorship approaches: re- gret at seeing you-friends and com- panions-scatter to diverse places, and joy in the sharing of your high school successes, and the hopes and plans for your future. FRANCIS BRENNAN Another period of four years has come and gone. taking with it a group that has grown to become a part of Jamaica, but leaving mem- ories that must linger. As one who has ever felt an in- terest in your activities and succeues, and now as sponsor, I bid you sII farewell, or rather, au revoir, for I sincerely hope that you will make frequent returns.

We are expected to tell how, under our loving hand, we have guided the publication from issue to issue, from month to month, with confi-dence and hope and gratification. But, imbued as we are, with l'esprit moclerne, we refuse to do all this. We shun the barriers and rigid bonds of convention and custom. We strive, as do all modernists, to seek for and provide an outlet for thought and self- expression. Honesty, frankness, and truth are our guiding stars. And so, with a huge burst of courage, we discard all pretense, all sham, and say as our farewell -- good-bye! - and may next term a kind and far-seeing providence refuse to submit the reader, the staff, the adviser, the printer - and the editor, to the tortures they have thus far endured-and which we know fully well will continue to endure to the end of time. Such is the reward of genius. ROBOTS OR MEN? With measured tread we march along with the ages through the stately halls of time, each generation following closely at the heels of the previous, full of the same hopes and ideals of its predecessor, Men have ever been subjected to same temptations, some more pressingly than others, Men have ever been conscious of beauty, some more than others. This generation is not unlike others in the production of men. They tell us that we live in a machine age-that our generation is im- bued with the spirit of the times. But the mere fact that we are products of a machine age does not cause us to assume the substance of creatures of stone and steel and become entirely devoid of flesh and blood. The machine age has not caused us to turn into robots, entirely lacking in ambition and initiative. We still suffer, we still hope, and we still struggle as a thousand generations before us have, to reach a glorious millenium. For that striving we may be thankful. l4ll THE ORACLE AS WE. GRADUATE As another glorious graduation day dawns, a spirit of inspiration steals into the heart of every member of the school. The graduate, his emotions divided between joy and regret, departs for the last time from familiar faces and well-known spots, fully conscious of the responsibility he bears and the debt he owes his Alma Mater. Her reputation in the outer world rests within his care. His deeds will be her glory or her shame. The banner of success is unfurled before him. - That character is what you are and reputation what men think you are is as true of institutions of learning as of individuals. The mediocre deeds of the majority of students pass by unnoticed, but actions of the few, if remarkable either for unusual accomplishment or misdeed, fespecially the latterj, are broadcast to the four corners of the earth. For this reason it is the duty of every pupil vigilantly to guard the reputation of the school and to avoid even the appearance of evil. May the energy resulting from a sum- mer vacation and the resolution inspired by the thought of a coming gradua- tion be directed towards raising the standards of Jamaica High. SUMMER SCHO0Lg CONDITION EXAMINATIONS Mr Grant says: Perhaps you are going to pass in everything. lf so, congratulations. lf you are not so successful, you will be interested in Summer High School and in Condition Examinations. There will be a Summer High School in our building: the work will begin early in July and pupils are required to register before the opening of the session. Immediately after Regents' week, applications for permission to take the subjects which you wish to review or which you wish to take as advance sub- jects will be made out. These applications must be approved and signed by the heads of departments. You will get definite instructions later. lf you take advance work in a subject, the chairman of the department may wish you to take the condition examinationg it will be wise to ask him. ln order to have your program changed as a result of summer school work, you must present your certificates to Mr. Grant on Wednesday, Thursday, 011 Friday fsept. 4, 5, or 61 before the opening of the new term. If you wish to take a condition examination you must arrange with your teacher in that subject and with the head of the department as to what extra work you must do in order to be admitted to the examination. These examinations will be given on Thursday and Friday, September Sth and 6th: On Thursday, September 5th, at 9 o'clock: Mathematics and Commer- cial Arithmetic: at l0:30 o'clock: English, at I2 o'clock: History, Economics, Civics.

One of those whose task of compiling has been well completed is Mark Van Doren, editor of the Anthology of World Poetry. lt is so seldom that we are given the opportunity of comparing translations of the ripest poetical fruits of the'various countries of the world, that when an edition of this type arrives on the scene, it is greeted by a most cordial public, As Mr. Van Doren, himself, soliloquizes in his preface: Translation does not give us what creation givesf' but nevertheless, one feels the beauty of thought in these fine English renditions of foreign poetry. And, after all, what does it matter what happens to be the author's mother-tongue, as long as his meaning is well expressed in his own language? The poems published in this anthology include only the best English translations of the outstanding verse in all languages, ranging from Chinese and Sanskrit to modern German and French: at the end is included a short anthol- ogy of the best English and American poetry. The first fact which quickly announces itself to the reader is the careful and painstaking choice of translations suitable for such a collection: Mr. Van Doren has discriminated so wisely in his selection, that we find nothing un- pleasant or incoherent fas translations are prone to bel. Some of the distin- guished translators represented in the book are Chaucer, Swinburne, Rossetti, Pope, and Herrick. It therefore follows that the translations are of the highest type. One of the particularly interesting sections of the collection ffor the poetry is grouped according to languagesl is the ltalian divisiong this is com- posed almost entirely of sonnets, underlying a great many of which is a humorous theme. Angiolieri begins one of his delightful sonnets with the pessimistic advice: Whoever without money is in love Had better build a gallows and go hang. The anthology will please its readers in whatever mood it finds them, for so many 'different types of poetry are represented that, if one likes poetry at all, one's attention must be caught by something in the book. Thus we turn from page to page, Pleasing shepherd, pleasing sageg Each may browse to heart's content, Cleaning thoughts and hours well-spent.

For the first time in a great many terms, the affair proved rather a disappointment. Spring ls Here, with Glenn Hunter playing the leading role, may be a good show, but it did not reach the standard which Arista has set' for its periodical musical comedy, as exemplified by the smash- ing successes, Hold Everything, Good News, Three Musketeers and others. The party consisted of one hundred pupils and teachers, including Mr. Vosburgh, Miss Bernard, Miss Hughes, Mr. Fahey, and Mr. Barrett, the Senate leader. The group was taken to New York in three comfortable buses, quite suitable for tired industrious QD people. The Arista plans to make this term memorable by conducting another affair early in june. The arrangements thus for are rather indefinite, but it will probably be an outing and picnic. The purpose of such an affair is to familiarize the members with each other, making each a part of a socialized group and not merely a student who is permitted to wear a small red and blue pin. THE BIOLOGY CLUB DANCE On May l0, in the boys' gymnasium, the Biology Club put another of its famous dances over the top. This one, like the previous ones that the club has sponsored, was replete with very original surprises. There was a very earnest, if imaginative fortune teller, borrowed for the occasion from Bar- num and Bailey for was it Coney lslandiij, a lucky number dance, and some very excellent entertainment, in the form of an Italian dance. lt was a very clever presentation, and was received as such by the 200 or more dancing enthusiasts that were present. The faculty was fairly well represented. Those that were present more than made up in the pep and energy that they expended on the Hoor, for their delinquent members. Those absent were, in all probability, cheering Jamaica on to her victory over Bryant. The music, excellently rendered, was supplied by the school orchestra. It really was a fine orchestra, and its excellent music was appreciated by those present. l45l THE ORACLE ORACLE STAFF ART NOTES ln the Queensboro contest, which was held by the Queensboro Chamber of Commerce, Jamaica High's representatives won S95 out of SI 30. Can you imagine, fellow students, one of six high schools winning almost three- fourths of the money? jamaica High did it. The contest called for posters from students in six high schools. The winning posters are to be used as covers from time to time on the Chamber of Commerce publication - Queensboro. Dorothy Bangert received the first prize of S35 and Ruth Philipson the second, of 525. Two honorable mention prizes, each of S5 each, were awarded to Peggy Reid and Winifred l-iavecker, and here comes more news. Jamaica High School had the best group of posters and the Art Department was awarded S25 for the School Art League Scholarship Fund. 1461 THE ORACLE -1 5 , w Q 5' 1 7 4 e n mmm' ffvm .

The Seniors, you see, will be so confident that their plans will work that they'll be sure to overlook something. Now, what we want to get hold of is that 'something' And that's just what l can put my finger on now. But, gee, don't you suppose we'll be caught? asked cautious Bert, There's hardly any chance of our being caught, and besides, if we are caught, what's the difference? lt happens only once in a lifetime, offered Jack, the goodlooking ringleader of the juniors' many escapades. His unde- niable prowess in school athletics lent him an air of leadership. just now, ,lack was referring to the Seniors' Class Night Jubilee. It was to be held in the auditorium of the high school. The Seniors had had many plans for the Jubilee and all of them were working as well as might be ex- pected. Now, it's up to us, jack explained, tor put part of the works out of commission. l know we can do it. l've got it all figured out. You know that Bill Seaforth, the Senior Class President, is scheduled to do a song and. dance act on Class Night, and you know that Anne Kleiner is to do it with him. Now, all we have to do is to .... Here the three boys, jack. Bert, and Fred, the silent one, gathered in a huddle to get the gist of jack's plans. 3 lf- -1' 95 3 Come on, Bill, get some snap into it. U- - - and you, Anne, you've got to do something else besides look pretty. Just think of all your boy friends that'll be out in front watching you at the Jubilee. Come on, now: a little pep is all we need. Dress rehearsal for the Seniors' Jubilee was on. Bill was dressed in a tight sailor suit with a hat perched at a precarious angle on his head. Anne was dressed in a frilly, fluffy dress that seemed to float on the air. She wore a large, floppy straw hat, of the kind that changes shape every time it is worn. Say, cried the exasperated director of the Jubilee, we'll never get this going if that's how you're going to do it tomorrow night. Hereupon, Bill and Anne went into their dance, which involved many bends and kicks. They were both sorely tired when it was over. Whew, if it's this hot tomorrow night, we're sunk, Anne, said Bill. l5ll THE ORACLE Bill and Anne parted now to go to the dressing rooms, where the cos- tumes were to be left until the following night for the jubilee. Later, after everyone had left the building and the lights had been turned off, three figures crept into the auditorium. One of them stayed on watch as the other two started for the dressing rooms. After a wait of thirty minutes, the two figures appeared at the opposite ends of the auditorium. Then the three of them walked up on the stage, where one of them bent down and spread something on the floor with a small brush. The three Figures then left the room. vs 4 fr- as is jubilee Night! The auditorium was rapidly hlling. Here and there could be seen a rushing Senior in pursuit of apparently nothing at all. Excite- ment prevailed. Everyone was expecting to enjoy the show which, every term so far, had proved a huge success. Soon the lights were dimmed and the curtains drawn apart. The scenery of the first act of the show showed a dock, a few packing cases: and, in the background, a battleship. The music started up, and then Bi!! came in leading Anne by the hand. Aw, gee, Anne, he said in the lines of his part, why don't yuh marry me now? Then when l come back from my next trip l'l! be free. As Bill spoke, he moved toward the center of the stage with Anne by his side. But, Bill, protested Anne, acting her part very well, it's only right to wait until you come back again. You know l don't like to, butl-O-o-o ich! Bill! Anne interrupted her little speech with a shriek accentuated by a dull thud. Somewhat bewildered and with her feelings quite hurt, Anne got up with Bi!!'s help, a particularly devastating pull. She had skid on the floor and then had sat down, not because she had wished to, but because something that was spread on the floor necessitated it. Bill looked puzzled, but, as these was nothing else to do, he attempted to go on into his dance with Anne, holding her by the hand. Then the fun began. As each attempted to take a waltz-step, the left foot of each clung firmly to the ground - and when they extended right over left in a graceful cross position, they were left demurely grabbing each other for support with their feet planted on the Hoor in a delightful pose. Each attempt at release only necessitated further grabbing and deeper blushes. The audience was shrieking with laughter. People were holding their sides. The juniors were as joyous as the Seniors, their friendly enemies, were dumbfounded. Finally, to make an end of their agony, the director jumped up to the platform crying hoarsely, Curtains! Draw those curtains! Evelyn Osterer I5 21 THE ORACLE JAMAICA Al-TER TWO . . .

A FEW DROPS OF EXCITEMENT The butler, who answered her timid knock, was as perfectly buttled as was possible, with the exception of the expression on his face, which looked as if his great Aunt Fannie had died leaving all her money to charity. The sight of the timid figure before his, dressed in clothes belonging anywhere but on Fifth Avenue, di-di not improve matters any. The scowl on his face grew deeper. His head jerked suddenly. Of course, he may have had a toothache. Butlers do. The woman asked, in a refined tone, which surprised Johnson, ls this the home of Mr. Gilbrook? Mr. Wesley Gilbrook? Yes, madam. ls he home now? Have you an appointment with him? No, but- Then he is not at home, madamf' Yes, johnson probably had a tooth- ache. He started to close the door, but she stopped it with her foot and .. l53l THE ORACLE pleaded, lt's very important: about this Drop murder case. l'm sure he'd see me if he knew. l'm sorry, madam. He attends to business at his office. But l have been at his office. His secretary said he was here. What is your name? Mrs. Ruth Drop. Johnson walked away very butlerishly, leaving her outside, very un- butlerishly. He returned in about five minutes. Mr. Gilbrook will see you immediately. She sighed in relief, and followed him to the home-like drawingroom where Mr. C-ilbrook sat comfortably smoking. He was about sixty years old, tall, thin, and with a pleasant personality written on his wise old face. He reminded Mrs. Drop of a cartoon she had seen of Uncle Sam some time ago, printed to illustrate a small, helpless country asking U. S. for protection against a bully. The two were left alone, and Mrs. Drop, after introducing and seating herself, began, Well, Mr. Gilbrook, l suppose you've read about my case. l can see you're wondering why l happened to come to you. To tell the truth, l've spoken to four lawyers today, and they all refused to help me because l can't pay them except in small installments. So l thought you might help, since you are so rich already, and don't need the money right away. She stopped, and was startled when Mr. Gilbrook suddenly burst out laughing, slapped his knee, had to hold his sides, and finally mumbled some- thing about Uthe first time in thirty years fchucklej anyone had nerve enough fchucklel to say that fchucklel - so rich already- that was good fchuckle, chucklej -did his old heart good fchuckle, chucklelf' At last he grew serious, and she heard his voice -a rich, mellow old voice with a pleasing southern accent. Mrs. Drop, l'll take your case. Only tell me: did you kill your husband. as the charge says? No. just that one word, simply spoken, gave Mr. Gilbrook all the assurance he needed. Exactly what l thought. One of the hunches l got while reading the extras. The other is that -- no, you'll probaly find out at the trial. She shuddered a little at his last word, but he noticed that she had gained colc ' since entering the roovm and getting assurance of victory from his manner. Mrs. Drop certainly needed all the assurance she could gather, for the police had a fairly good case against her as she had no proof for her story of her simple, ordinary actions on the night of the murder. She and her husband had quarreled over money matters, and he had left their rooms in a rage. At about nine that evening, Dot, one of their children, had complained of not feeling wellg so Mrs. Drop had prepared tea and toast, burning a large hole in the front of her only dress. She had waited a while after this for her hus- band to return after wearing off his grouch, but he had not come at ten o'clock, I54l THE ORACLE Then tired out, she had gone to bed, only Ito be called at five the next morn- ing to identify his shirt and shoes, lying near the body, which had been stabbed and then burned beyond recognition. Mrs. Drop had been arrested as the only one known to the police who had had a reason for murdering Mr. Drop. Her burned dress, a can of kerosene, and the knife with which she had cut bread for Dot, had all been taken as circumstantial evidence. She had been bewildered, more by the sudden knowledge of her husband's death than by her arrest, had not known what to do with her children, or which way to turn,- and at last, here she was in this old man's comforting agreeable presence - in a lawyer's home for the first time in her lifel She said now, lt's awfully embarrassing to be arrested, especially by those big - There, there, Mrs. Drop, don't worry about that. He chuckled way down in his throat and smiled to himself as though at some secret. Finally, D'you know, it's positively funny, when you think of six husky detectives walking the street, maybe guarding, the doors and windowsi outside the house fthough johnson would see to them: in the mood he's in today, with his tooth- ache and alll, and waiting for you to come out Anyone with a grain of sense could see you wouldn't harm a chicken. He was trying to reassure her, but he could see that she was nervous, and decided to end the interview. l guess you'd better go now. Those detectives won't bully you, if they know l'm your lawyer. I'll have someone care for your children. Oh, l'll never be able to repay everything - Never mind about that. This is a good-will case. l'm rich enough already. You said so yourself. Hurry, now. What's-his-name out here is getting impatient. l'll see you later, then. Good-bye. And thank you. Good-bye, lVlrs. Drop. W 1' 9: ii W Those present in the court room rose as His Honor, the Honorable Alger- non T. Topwinder entered majestically. The sight of his stern, implacable face did not serve to reassure the frightened figure in the defendant's chair, who sat facing the jury composed of five women and seven men. The business of choosing the right twelve had been long and boring, due to a certain tendency on the part of the prosecuting attorney, a Mr. Gabbe, to be very particular. Mr. Gabbe was a short man, confident, superior, but a little excited at the thought of the necessity of winning a sensational murder case. It had been amusing as well as exasperating, to see him standing there rejecting man after man, and finally deciding that the twenty-seventh for eighth, possibility for the fifth for sixthl juror would be satisfactory, turning inquiringly toward Lawyer Gilbrook, to be met with such answers as, As you like, or, Anything you say, at which Mr. Gabbe would gaze suspiciously at this enemy to see if he had added, under hisibreath, You dear, sweet little pussy cat, as his soothing tone had implied.

The prosecutor, in his charge, announced that he proposed to prove through reliable testimony and evidence that Ruth Drop had murdered her husband, Richard Drop. He went into detail as to how this remarkable feat was to be accomplished, and then sat down. Mr. Gilbrook, remaining seated, said, lt is not necessary that l prove my client innocentgfit is Mr. Gabbe's job to prove her guilty. l-le chuckled and leaned back to enjoy what was to come. The prosecutor began, ls Mrs. Patrick Flannigan here? Voice from aside: Indeed l be. Mr. Gabbe: Come right up here, Mrs. Flanniganf' Mrs. F lannigan, what is your occupation? Me which?

Well, that will be all, thank you, said the prosecutor hastily. Cross- examine? he asked Gilbrook. No, thanks. Turning to the jury, the latter remarked, Wonderful 'reliable testimony' we're getting, eh? l-le was enjoying himself. The next witness was a Mary Smith. The prosecutor took a deep breath, and began, Miss Smith, you're quite intimate with the defendant? Yes. How did you come to know her? Why, we both live at Mrs. Flannigan's. Did you see Mrs. Drop early -- about six o'clock - in the evening on the night of the murder? Yes. Notice anything peculiar about her dress? Not at all. But when you saw her next, you did? Yes. There was a large hole burned in the front of it. So large that you certainly would have seen it had it been there before? U .- -- .- I58l THE ORACLE Oh, yes. Mr. Gabbe turned to the jury with a sarcastic, slightly soiled smile, and remarked, Strange that Mrs. Drop should have burned her dress on that particular night. fThe prosecutor did not know that things like that will happen, just to make matters more difficult? Also strange about a knife --- Miss Smith, tell about your visit that night, please. Well, it wasn't exactly a visit. Mrs. Drop and l always walk into each other's places whenever we want, and that night I got to feeling lone- some at about 9:l5 or 9:30. l crossed the hall and opened the door- softly, so as not to wake the children-and heard low sobs coming from the kitchen. l looked in at the door, and there was Mrs. Drop, standing at the sink. She had washed a cup and saucer, and was washing a knife, rub- bing it up and down with her cloth but looking at her dress. That was when l noticed the hole. l guessed that was what she was crying about, and left her alone, knowing she would not want to be found in that state. The prosecutor made no effort to conceal his gratification at this danger- ous speech, while asking, ls this the knife Mrs. Drop was washing? Yes. Q Nice sharp edge and point on it, don't you think? Sharp as a dagger. He held up the dress. This garment, too, could obviously have had some - ah - connection with the murder. 'Little accident while trying to -hide - the act. Miss Smith, have you changed your opinion as to why the defendant was crying? Could it possibly have meant more than you thought? Oh, ll don't know. That was her only dress. l lent her what she's wearing. fMiss Smith had been testifying against her will in the first place.l Ah, but if you Mr. Gilbrook finally objected. He was sorry, but he begged to inform Mr. Gabbe that witnesses state only what they have witnessed, and not their analysis of it. judge Topwinder agreed. There was no cross-examination. Strange, but true. There followed a whole string of state witnesses, who gave testimony regarding the Drop financial affairs, quarrels, children, the murder, etc. By the end of the first day, the court was ready for the defense witnesses. The state's case was coming along rather well, as the defense had not contradicted any statement made, although the judge had had ample reason to confirm his opinion that many a witness is also witless. as vr- -is as as The second day found everyone excited, anxious for something to hap- pen. Even the judge was a little curious. He had found that Mr. Cabbe could not only live up to the first three letters of his name, but that having only two more to defend was a great injustice. He looked forward to hear' ing Mr. Gilbrook's pleasant drawl. The lawyer stood up as he began to speak. He said triumphantly, My witness is Mr. Richard Drop. I59l THE .ORACLE Yes, that is exactly what he said. Women fainted. Men gaped. No- body present believed in ghosts. His Honor ventured, He is a-ah-cousin of the dead man? Q No, Your Honor, he is 'the dead man.' The crowd became quiet to hear what was going on. judge Topwinder, speechless, also listened. Mr. Gilbrook carried it a little too far with, Mr, Drop, do you testify that you have not been stabbed, burned or murdered? and by His Honor found his voice. What's all this about? Mr. Gilbrook, what right had you to waste days of the court's time and make a joke of the whole thing? P - The court was prepared to waste the defendant's life. That's no joke. He smiled. I suppose it is one on the court. However, I only located the man this morning. I had no reason for supposing that the body was not Richard Drop's, but I always follow up' my hunchies. I looked in the criminal records of the Police Department, and after a good deal of work, using the 'process of eIimination,' my suspicions narrowed down to and centered on Thomas Hawk. I traced him to a shack in Chinatown, where Mr. Drop was his prisoner. When he saw it was no use, he told me his victim had been his former pal, ,lake Newton. He knew that if the true identity had been known, suspicion would have been directed at him: so he kidnapped lVIr. Drop, placed his shirt and shoes near the body and sped away in a taxicab with his cap- tive. He changed to a different cab on the way, making it so much the harder to trace him, but it was through the drivers that I eventually learned his whereabouts. You can guess the rest. Let me thank you in behalf of justice, said His Honor stifHy. Oh, the pleasure's all mine, I assure you, Your Honor. Have you had Mr. Hawk arrested? No, Your Honor. He's keeping jake Newton company now. Well, l suppose all that's left to say is: 'Case dismissed'. When the Drop family and lawyer had reached the sidewalk, Mr. Gil- brook summoned a taxi for them and was about to say, Good-bye, when Mrs. Drop asked, Oh, you're coming with us, aren't you, Mr. Gilbrook? l want you to see our rooms and get acquainted with the children. But the wise old man shook his head, much as the offer tempted him. He had his own ideas of a family reunion. I can't come today. Maybe in a few days or so. Good-bye. In the cab a few minutes later, the rescued asked the acquitted, What do you suppose was the matter with him? He went so abruptly. Ruth reflected a moment before answering. Mr. Gilbrook's face had reminded her of what Johnson's had been that first day. They had both looked as though they wanted something they couldn't have. I think he had a toothache, she? confided.

While he was scraping a canvas the knife slipped. Now he stands on a corner and begs for pennies. Why? Fingers . . . He was a crook. He never had been sent away for a long time. A clever job was done, but a finger print was left. He was accused. He will not be a free man for twenty years. Why? Fingers . . . He was a pianist, one whose name was known all over the world. A finger caught in a gate. Now he sits and hears others play. At times his heart breaks in the desire to put his soul in music. He can't. Why? Fingers . . . He tried to slip the ring on her linger, but it was too thin. He tried to have it fixed. While doing it he got disgusted and changed his mind about marrying her. Now she's an old' maid. Why? Fingers . . . Hours had gone into the preparation of the cake. It was left on the win- dow sill to cool. A hungry little boy came along. Now the cake is in the garbage can. Why? Fingers . . . He was a brilliant man. His position depended on his fastidious figure. While he was out riding, he smashed into a truck. When he awoke, he found his fingers gone. They had been' amputated. He was kindly dismissed from his job. Customers would look at his hand. Now he is a pauper. Why? Fingers . . . A picture was being hung on the wall. The hammer slipped. Ouch . .

The sun beat down mercilessly on the hot city streets, but within the portals of the Merchants Bank, it was quiet and cool. Banks have a mystifying habit of being always quiet and cool - even in mid-summer. Everyone, from the waiting line of depositors in front of the receiving teller's window to the little-blonde-secretary-to-the-President at her typewriter, moved briskly, calmly, almost mechanically. This quiet activitity was suddenly interrupted by a loud, insistent ring- the burglar alarml Simultaneously the line of depositors started. The tellers started. The floor-walker started. The Vice President at his glass-topped desk started. The blonde secretary started. For a moment, everyone seemed turned to stone. Then the Vice President reached for his telephone. lmmediately a squad of policemen, from the near-by station house, came dashing in, almost tumbling over each other's heels in their haste. A swift investigation failed to reveal any trace of a burglar. The perspiring policemen were about to retire in disgust when a shout from the Hoor above sent three of them rushing upstairs. There, on the iioor of a cash booth, a keen-eyed clerk had discovered a swarthy, dark-haired man crouching on his hands and knees. What are you doing? demanded the nearest policeman, breathlessly but brusquely. What do you think l'm doing? was the polite reply. l'm laying the new linoleum. The policemen and the bank officials stared at each other silently until the Vice President stepped forward. With the toe of his carefully polished shoe he lifted a strip of linoleum. Gravely he shook his head, but his eyes twinltled as he let the corner fall and turned to the dark-skinned man, The next time you drive a nail into the burglar alarm, Tony, he said, somebody's going to tell you to go home and forget to come- back. PEGASUS CLUB The Pegasus Club meets at erratic intervals in the southeast corner of the Library, which has been dedicated to poetry and poets. This nook replaces in honorary succession the English room previously blessed by short visits from the club. May we move that the table about which the club now meets be designated as the Lyric Table? The club voted to discuss john Masefield and sea-faring poetry at the meeting of May the 5th.

This was our fourteenth consecutive victory of the current season. It also gave the Red and Blue the right to wear the Queens baseball crown for l929, regardless of the outcome of the remaining game with Richmond Hill. Captain Roy Alpert, in the box for Jamaica, got himself into hot water in the first inning, but, after allowing his opponents to score one run, regained his usual calmness and shut the Hillmen out with one hit thereafter. Di Paola walked, Lomax sacrificed him to second and Abramowitz brought him home with a double over third. Jamaica soon tied it up, however, when Anderson singled and was forced by Saffer, who came home on Bloch's terrific smack to deep right center. The winners tallied another in the second on Alpert's single through the box and R. White's triple to right. Again in the sixth they scored, when Bloch singled and was out at home on O'Farrell's double. The latter scored, how- ever, on R. White's single. It was a pitcher's battle throughout with both hurlers fanning seven men. But Roy Alpert was less generous than White with his hits, and this proved to be the main factor in the result.

JAMAICA WINS OVER FAR ROCKAWAY IN NINTH Bunching two hits and a walk in the ninth inning, the jamaica High School Baseball Team managed to eke out a hard earned victory over the Nlermen from Far Rockaway. 'lt was a pitcher's battle throughout. Both boxmen were in fine form in spite of the cold and rain, and it was a case ol' the better man winning out. Captain Alpert allowed but three hits and fanned nme. Saffer, our diminutive right fielder, was the batting hero of the day, pasting out three clean singles in as many times at bat.

A I5-year old freshman from Newtown blanked Jamaica for nine innings and did not allow a hit, while striking out nine men. But in the tenth, the l-Iilltops' long-silenced batteries burst forth with a fan- fare of extra base hits and the game was Jamaica's at last. Saffer walked to start the inning, Bloch tripled, and O'Farrell doubled. Alpert pitched a wonderful game, fanning nine and allowing but three hits. RED AND BLUE DEFEATS BRYANT TWICE The Jamaica l-iigh's undefeated baseball nine won its tenth and eleventh games of the season and its sixth and seventh P. S. A. L. victories by defeating Bryant on their home field, 5-0, and then scalping them at Peter's Field.. 4-0. Captain Alpert again scored a shut-out victory and struck out thirteen men. Anderson starred at bat with two hits. ln the second game Rooney was the starting pitcher. l-le twirled nice ball for five innings, but when he showed signs of weakening, Roy Alpert replaced him. Bloch and O'Farrell, Jamaica's Big Berthas, each got two hits and were large factors in manufacturing runs. I64l THE ORACLE I65l OUR BASEBALL CHAMPIONS THE ORACLE RED AND BLUE CONQUERS FLUSHING The combination of the Flushing High School baseball team and the hoodoo caused by the fact that jamaica was striving to win its thirteenth game of the season was of no avail against the barrage of long distance hit- ting to which the Red Devils were subjected while the Red and Blue easily romped away with the game by a score of 9-I. Rooney was on the mound for jamaica and was unbeatable, allowing his opponents but one run and holding the game well in hand at all times.

The range, instead of being the regular length, was l00 yards long. Jamaica was unaccustomecl to the unusual length of the range, but Price, a member of the team, had a place in the individual scoring. Price, with a total of I64, came in tenth. The team scored as follows: Keet ...................,............... ....... 54 70 124 Plummer 63 83 146 Sieger .... 39 92 l 31 Price ...... 70 94 I64 Reid ......... 76 74 l 50 Kearney ...... 29 33 82 331 466 671 E671 THE ORACLE TRACK TEAM The track team, for the first time in a long while, placed third in the state championship at Troy. It might be more correct to say that Paul Ahola took third for jamaica out of 32 competing schools. Ahola himself scored all of ,Iamaica's fifteen points, and in doing so tied Howard Jones of Erasmus Hall High School for personal honors. Paul broke the high- jump record by jumping 5 feet 8 3-4 inches, one inch more than the old record. lt is not hard for him to do much better, but as it was he had no great competition to force him to do so. ln winning the broad jump with a tremendous leap of 2l feet 4M inches, he tied the record made in l924 and since then never reached. Then, after winning these events, he went into the l20 high hurdles and won his heat by fifteen yards. Those were his fruits of victory for the morning. ln the afternoon he took a discus into his hands for the second time this spring and threw it Ill feet 6 inches, but fouled. He heaved the plate l05 feet 4 inches to place third in the event. l I0 feet and ZH inches won it. Soon after the discus. event was run off, the final for the lZ0 high hurdles was staged. Although not fully rested from throwing the discus over a hundred feet, our Ahola ran a close second in the hurdle event. Paul Ahola entered four events and medaled in every one. Captain johnny Eller qualified for the finals in both l00 and 220 yard runs, but pulled a tendon and was forced out of both the events. Clifford Farley, the third Jamaica man to compete at Troy, placed third in his heat for the 440. The time for his heat was 8 seconds faster than the finals. Because of the fine showing the team made at Troy there is a great probability of sending some runners to New Haven to compete in the Yale interscholastic meet, which is the biggest meet held in the East for shoolboys. ln the novice championship at Wingate Field the team did not make such a fine showing. We scored but three points, totaled by taking third in the mile relay fsloan, Kollman, Rissmeyer, and Farley, and fourth fRugenJ in the high-jump. TRACK TEAM Once more, the athletic prowess of the versatile Paul Ahola, plus the able coaching of Mr. Eller, Sr., enabled the jamaica track team to show its merits. The members of the team went to Garden City on May I3 by auto- mobile and trounced the track team of St. Paul's School, 69 to 37. Ahola captured first places in the five events he entered: running high jump, javelin throw, discus, running broad jump, and l2-pound shot-put. The other bearer of the Red and Blue, who flgured prominently in his team's victory, was jack Eller, jr. He was third in the l00, javelin throw, running broad jump, and second in the shot-put. Eddie Siegel won the l00 yard dash in the fast time of I0 2X5 secounds. l63l THE ORACLE TEAM COACHES G. A. A. NEWS The interclass tournament of the girls' Basket Ball Club has just begun. Everyone is highly excited and curious to know who will come out victorious. Each player is aiming for the award which she expects, or hopes to receive.

The club numbers at least forty enthusiastic members. At the last meeting these officers were elected: president, Sylvia Wiggins: advertising manager, Lillian Reiss, and her assistant, Adele Levinson. Miss Leit once more guides the destinies of the club in her capacity of sponsor. Meetings are held in the wooded glen immediately back of the school. Each Tuesday these ardent archers may be seen diligently plying their bows and arrows. weather permitting. ln the near future there will be a tournament, which you are cordially invited to attend.

THE ORACLE THE STORM The winds moan gustily in voices high, Great threat'ning storm clouds fill the lowering sky, A brooding darkness hovers o'er the earth, The storm winds mutter loud in sul- len dearth. The pelting drops descend, a mighty torrent, A swirling gust now whips the dash- ing rain. Tall trees in frenzy toss, by tempest bent, The gale yet wilder shrieks its eerie strain. The raging storm is lulled and dies away. Black tempest clouds now yield to light of day, A soft grey mist enshrouds the storm- tossed hill, The stealthy night falls silent, foggy, still. Grace Crawford DESERTION l remember it all very clearly: lt was the night You left us sorrowing here on earth: l walked on the hillside, Shrouded in darkness. Troubled, uncertain, With pulse throbbing, - suddenly l stopped And looked up to the moon - l saw her shudder, And draw across her pale, pitying face A veil of cloud. Ruth Naber. l75l IN GREYSTONES When l went down to Greystones, fTo Greystones by the seal, I heard an old man singing He sang a song for me.

When l go down to Greystones, fTo see the ships in Mayl, l hear the old man singing But he has sailed away. George Hugh Kauff. HOLLYHO CKS Pink hollyhocks massed row on row ln a dreary bed of sand, Pink hollyhocks long planted By a blue-veined, wrinkled hand.

John Drinkwater, dramatist and author of Bird in Hand, now playing on Broadway, just before sailing home to England ventured to set forth his ideas upon the plays he had seen in New York. He refused to mention those that failed to please him, but he mentions seven that he considers have at- tained some distinction. He, being an excellent person to criticize all dra- matic attempts, and we, being secretly in harmony with his point of view, have seen fit to quote him. First on the list is Holiday freviewed in this issue,. He considers it an engaging piece of comedy. Second and third are two Theatre Guild productions, Caprice fpreviously reviewed, and Camel Through the Needle's Eye. The startling thing about these two comedies is the acting, the plots being light and frivolous. Next is The Love Duel with that great actress Ethel Barrymore. Mr. Drinkwater holds that Miss Barrymore in the years that have passed, has grown in beauty and power and sensitiveness. That happens only to genius. The melodramatic Harlem proved to Mr. Drinkwater that the negro stage is going pretty well. Of the musical shows seen by Mr. Drinkwater he got more satisfaction and more laughs out of Pleasure Bound than any other. Phil Baker is especially praised. fwe have a little glow of pride that this comedy should have been chosen, for we were introduced to charming Aileen Stanley, one of the co-stars of Pleasure Bound , Last on the list is Street Scene, that intense and vital drama of New Yorlfs tenement life, written by Elmer Rice. fwe might also mention that we were introduced to the bad woman of the play, Nlillicent Green, who proved to be very sweet and happily married., THE MAN WHO CONQUERED DEATH, FRANZ WERFEL Here is a story with atmosphere It concerns a miserable creature who dragged out a worthless, sordid existence in the gay Austrian capital: who, in spite of the insignificance of his position, became famous while lying for a few weeks in a hospital. His was a case which baffled all physicians and scientists: there he lay, a heap of putrefaction all unconscious of his fame, a museum- piece depicting man's strugle with death. E771 THE ORACLE Although every moment of life was agony, still he could not surrender his spirit to a merciful, final rest. He had been doomed three weeks before, but during that time he became known to the startled world as the man who would not die. What was the duty that bound him in this agonized struggle with death? Read The Man Who Conquered Death! Ruth Naber THE RED ROBE The Red Robe, featuring Walter Woolf and Helen Gilliland, is a play of excitement, beauty and good music with a bit of excellent fun thrown in by Barry Lupino. lt is adapted from Stanley Weyman's novel of that name and staged by jose Ruben, who is well known in the part of Cardinal Riche- lieu. The settings by Watson Barrett are colorful and blending, the draw bridge scene is really beautiful. Walter Woolf, as Gil de Berault, has all the charm requisite for the part he portrays- a fine voice, good looks, and great fencing ability. We are told that Woolf took special fencing lessons from Mackenzie Wallace, former Yale fencing champion, in order to perfect his performance. From the time that Gil de Berault meets Renee de Cachafort we find excitement, love, and suspense. A play about the time of Louis Xlll. could hardly be otherwise than romantic, and the Red Robe is a romance from the first act through the last. Walter Woolf and beautiful Helen Gilliland are supported by Barry Lupino, Violet Carlicar and Manila Powers. For one of the best musical shows in town, and the Red Robe cer- tainly abounds in better than average musical numbers, visit the Jolson Theatre, 59th Street and 7th Avenue. Gay Carter JOHN BROWN'S BODY-STEPHEN VINCENT BENET Narrative poetry, proclaimed by some as the epic poem of the South, but more truly an epic of the whole nation's period of Civil War, this book is fas- cinating. The poet has an irritating habit affected by many who wish to show beyond a doubt the liberalism and poesy of their art- a propensity to put in needless bits of coarse thought, sometimes amounting to vulgarity. This is, however, a minor point, wherein he offends less than many of his pre- decessors and his contemporaries. Taken as a whole, the story is powerfully, yet subtly told, is thundered, whispered, shrieked, lisped. The two main plots lose nothing in abrupt transi- tions, and the minor threads add tasteful color to a heather fabric. The fact that this book is poetry straight through, with hardly a mediocre line, is astounding. The note sounded is distinctly lyrical, and many times the ballad-chant becomes a Vachel-Lindsay-song. Ruth E. Woodbury. I75l THE ORACLE HOLIDAY QPLYMOUTH THEATRE, 45th STREET WEST! Words fail to explain the raptures we indulged in upon seeing Philip Barry's engaging comedy, l'loliday. The play has many excellent features, the foremost of which is the charming Hope Williams. lt has that famous Donald Ogden Stewart and the whole cast is remarkable. lt has high ideals and aims, which we were entirely in sympathy with. It has lines that fairly seem to sparkle. There is not a dull moment in the whole play. The story is a simple one. lt concerns the Seton family - Linda fHope Williamsj, Julia, Ned, and the head of the family, Mr. Seton. This house is assuredly divided against itself, for Mr. Seton is a plutocrat and his daughter Julia is completely in sympathy with him. On the other hand, Linda and Ned want nothing more than to be able to live. They deplore the accident of birth, which has hurled them right in the midst of the depressingly rich. Julia becomes engaged to Johnny Case, who, unknown to Julia, harbors the same principles that Linda does. Linda loves the young Case, but loving her sister, too, she suffers in silence till the break comes between the two, as is inevitable. The play is rich in comedy, not the pie-throwing variety, but mainly in the lines of the speakers and in one or two situations does there lurk that eternal spark. The play abounds in clever dialogue and rapid repartee. Sev- eral humorous lines stick in our memory- I recall your face, but your figure puzzles me, with which words Ned Seton greets johnny Case. Also the time Mr. Case was in a predicament and came out with When l'm in a position like this l ask- What would General Motors do? Then l do the opposite. HOW TO BEHAVE THOUGH A DEBUTANTE By Emily Post flllustrated by John Held, ,Inj Now one of the more erudite artists comes forth with a light, rather satir- ical book. Emily Post, author of Etiquette, the indispensable household charm, has published How to Behave Though a Debutanteu . . . implying that one is expected to behave even though one is yet a budding blossom. This short book is a satire on practically all our modern ideas of what to do and when, and is written in the same vein as the recent Gentlemen Pre- fer Blondes. The young debutante in this charming story, states the problems of young society people, giving ingenious and satisfactory solutions to them, according to the ideas of her own set.
