Here a grey-robed priest lived alone. Every day he put sticks of fragrant smoke before the images that lived in the temple shrine. He looked at the willow trees and understood how they wished for bright. new green dresses every spring. He laughed with the wind when it ruffled the faces of the pools and teased the willow leaves. A time came when for many months there was no rain. The air dried the faces of the trees and stole the water from the pools. The psople were sick and thirsty. The priest sat in his temple and wondered what had happsned to heaven. Why had heaven suddenly kept all the rain and let the whole world dry up? The people shouted for water and claimed that heaven was unkind and stingy. It was the gentle priest who decided to ask heaven about it. He went out on top of the mountain and told the bright blue sky that little children were thirsty. and he wished that there would be rain. The heavens listened, and the blue sky clouded as if bothered by this message of the priest. At last it seemed as if whoever turned on the rain understood. and down came the rain. pouring and streaming. whirling and dancing. The earth sucked in the cool wetness. The trees washed off their dusty faces and the pools glittered again with pattering drops of rain. The children went out into the rain and held up their faces and laughed. At last there was water enough. But heaven lost interest again. They seemed to forget to watch the pools and wells to see when they were full. The rain kept on and the wells overflowed. The courtyards overflowed into the people's yards and houses. The willow trees. so high up and safe. looked down at their wet trunks and shook their green hair. O. why did the rain not stop? The priest looked down and thought it strange how the rain kept pouring. He de- cided to go out and politely remind the heavens that there was enough rain. Then the magic thing happened that gave to the mountain its lovely name. Those words which the priest so politely had spoken went up into the cloudy sky and surprised the heavens very much. The heavens were so sorry to have sent so much rain that they did a very magic thing. All the shin- ing drops of rain that had passed the words of the priest on the way to the sky were turned into smooth pebbles. as brightly colored as delicate flowers. They fell un- seen into the courtyard and pools. but on the mountain they lay wet and shining in the grass and the priest called them flowers of the rain. When the sun came out. the children ran to the hill to play and found the gay colored pebbles. The priest said they were drops of rain turned to magic flowers so people would know the heavens were sorry for flooding the world with water. The children hunted the pebbles all over the mountain and called O, see. here is one that is green and has yellow eyes. or Look at the one l found. lt is bigger then any other and it is clear like a bit of clean water. People began to say Let us go to the mountain where the rain flowers fell. Quite easily the mountain got its name: The Rain Elower Mountain. The priest. who was old by that time, whispered it over to himself and smiled as he tended the rustling bamboo trees in the temple court. -Joan Pabst. EVENTIDE The shadowy fingers of night Draw the misty veil of evening Hiding that glowing golden disc Sinking in that unfathomable sea. Long shadows slipping silently Over the quivering breast of the earth Merge into a black mystic majesty And life lies tranquil in the calm of night. Overhead a silvery star dusted canopy. Cool sparkling jewels of dew underfoot. Surrounded by silence and solitude l'm filled with an unknown sweet sadness. -Patricia Keister. A'He plays a fair game. doesn't he? A'Yes. if you watch him. HOOSIER POET 13 YANDXD M SHOT 5 -L.. SENIOR DRAMA CLUB HE Riley Senior Drama Club is one of the oldest and most outstanding organizations in the school. It was y originated for the purpose of creating and developing student interest in school dramatics. The Drama Club was formed G in 1932 under the leadership of James Perry, President, and Miss Ruth Richmire, Sponsor. Since that time the club has grown both in membership and in the scope of its activities, It presents each year for the student body a full length pro- duction. a Christmas play, and an assembly program. En- deavoring to raise the standard of high school dramatics, it e presented this year James Barrie's Quality Street, which was an unusual success. H-Amk MCDAVITT :..,,, I To Miss Elaine McDavitt, who became a member of the Riley faculty just a year and a half ago, belongs much of the credit of a rejuvenated drama department, Under her able leadership, an advanced dramatics course is now offered to Riley students, the Drama Club has broadened its activities, and the school stage has come into its own. Her successes as a director of school productions include Big Hearted Herbert, Little Wom- en. Double Door. The Merchant Gentleman. 'ARollo's Wild Oat, and Quality Street. The Senior A class joins with the ICSI of the school in voicing its gratitude for the untiring efforts of its new friend. Miss McDavitt. I-IOOSIER POET 15 JUNIOR .Fl PRODUCTION HROLLOS WILDOAT' OFT music-lights-an expectant hush over the audience-and the curtain rises on Rollo's Wild Oat, this year's Junior A play production. And great was the suc- cess thereof, for it was a combination of an excellent play choice. a great cast, and a fine director. The plot itself centered about Rollo Webster, an idealistic young man, who cher- ished a great desire to play Hamlet. Through a gift from his wealthy, although entirely unsuspecting grandfather, he was able to realize his ambition and to produce A'Hamlet -with the aid of a flashy stage manager and a company of Shakespearian actors, includ- ing one fair Ophelia who completely won the affection of her Hamlet. But right in the middle of the first act on the opening night Hamlet 1Rollo, of course? received a tele- gram that his grandfather was dying-and he completely deserted his play only to find his grandfather had sent a fake message to test his affection, and to persuade him to stop his fool attempts at acting. Confiict followed, but needless to say. the love affairs of Rollo and Ophelia, and of Rollo's sister and her actor ended happily, and Rollo was finally content to forget Hamlet, except when wooing his own Ophelia. and to go into his grandfather's business. The leading role of Rollo Webster was excellently done by Maurice Jessup. His fair Ophelia was none other than Cordia Nally who was charming as the leading lady. And we certainly enjoyed the performance of Beverly Fothergill as the younger sister, and Bill Osbourne as her actor-lover. The comedy scenes, in the hands of Arthur Wolford as the excitable stage manager and Keith Klopenstein as the melancholy and rather whimsical butler, were extremely amusing to say the least. The Shakespearian company, including Annabelle Redick as Mrs. Park Gales, and Ralph Freed and Arthur Dahlgreen as Whortley Camperdoun and Thomas Skitterling, added to the general note of hilarity. The gruff. though kind-hearted grandfather. played by John Stevenson, the dear old aunt interpreted by Martha de Meyer, and the accommodating Bella, by Frances Mof- fitt, all contributed to the finished product, which was not only a credit to Miss McDa- vitt and the Junior A Class. but to the school itself. Congratulations? 16 HOOSIER POET SENIOR DRAMA CLUB PLAY NQUALITY STREET Miss Susan's Blue and White Roon1Y4Wl1at memories it recalls to Riley play-goers. who will long remember Quality Street as the most charming combination of charac- ters. costumes, and settings presented by the Senior Drama Club for some time. The dear creatures who graced the quaint home in Quality Street, and who enacted their whim- sical little drama therein, shall long fill a warm spot in our hearts. None can forget lovable Miss Phoebe, the quaint, sweet girl who fell in love with the gallant Valentine Brown. and how her deception to win his love brought laughter and tears to a thrilled audience. Nor can anyone forget her sister Susan, who grieved for Phoebe when Valentine went away to the wars, and who was perhaps the happiest when the two were finally betrothed. The sisters were beautifully characterized by Elizabeth O'Leary as Phoebe and Dor- othy Reed as Susan. Both seemed to have a perception of the Barrie subtlety and quaint- ness. The dashing Mr. Brown was none other than Joe lVlcNerney who was most con- vincing as a soldier and gallant. The three old maid friends were effectively presented by Ruth O'Leary, Rebecca Jane Bowman. and Georgia Lou Palmer. who furnished much of the humor, as did Patty and the Recruiting Sergeant played by Wilma Lake and Oliver Parcher. Robert Rudig as Ensign Blades. John Paulson as Lieutenant Spicer. Louise Madeford as Charlotte Parrott. Eileen Davis and Penn Skillern as children at- tending the school. all turned in creditable performances. All in all Quality Street was an achievement of which the school was very proud. The very best wishes for continued success to the Drama Clubf HLTBigiZ9f i 1 17 COP Y RILEY HIGH ROBED CHOIR NE of the school's finest organizations is the Robed Choir.

I held it reverently in my hands and once again summoned to my mind the image of a tiny wrinkled old lady, with snow-white hair and the mer- riest of twinkling blue eyes, who had tended the flax in the early summer. strip- ped the fiber from the stalk. bleached, woven, and embroidered that lovely piece of linen. Great-grandmother Elizabeth. ninety years young, who still sewed busily on innumerable quilt blocks and who en- joyed nothing so much as to recall glor- ious stories of her girlhood for anyone who would take the trouble to ask a few questions. And such stories as they were --tales of pioneer life breathing of the ex- ultant joy of freedom. of the small amus- ing events of every-day life, of the un- speakable hardship and privation. all borne with undaunted courage and a smiling heart. Her great-grandfather had come from Germany to settle with William Penn in the eastern forests of our country. Penn- sylvania Dutch they were called-and the name still clings-a staunch, hardy, prac- tical race, who worked untiringly turning a desolate wilderness into thrifty farm lands. The turn of the century saw their canvas-covered wagons drawn by heavy teams of oxen wearily plodding their way into Ohio, and thence to Indiana. Great-grandmother remembered little of the trip but she did remember her first home in Indiana-a square cabin made of small. round logs, notched, and roofed with clapboards. The door was a hole cut in the side and closed by a skin. At the end stood a mud and stick chimney open- ing into a huge fireplace decorated with a semicircle of three-legged stools. At the opposite end was a straw and shuck bed: underneath a trundle bed for the babies was hidden away during the daytime. Ev- ery night the covers were turned back to be sure no snakes had crawled inside. In another corner of the room was a table with its quaint table-ware of pewter, gourd. and wood. Here little Elizabeth was very happy. She was naturally lovable, kind and gen- tle, as befits a little girl brought up in the VISTA- old Dunkard faith. Many joyous hours she spent learning the household tasks from her patient mother-how to care for the animals, the chickens and the geese, how to spin and weave, how to prepare delicious meals for the hungry men-folks from the barest of provisions. But the days were not all work. The little girl liked to play house down by the spring with her twin brothers, to act out plays with frogs for an audience, to build houses from moss, tiny twigs and stones. But best of all she enjoyed the times when Mother would dress her in her Sunday homespun, put on her bonnet with the crisp bow beneath her chin, take her hand and start down the trail to the Taylor's homestead. Mrs. Taylor was the kindest twinkliest lady imaginable. She always had hot Johnny cake and foamy milk waiting for hungry little girls-and the grandest, most shadowy spring house where the moss grew thick and cool and the water gurgled and chuckled as if telling itself amusing stories. It was just the place to dabble hot dusty feet in cool water. and to imagine all sorts of tales about Indians and pioneer weddings and house-warming picnics, One sweet spring afternoon Elizabeth sat on a stone watching her mother pick- ing the geese for a new feather bed. The breeze ruffled her soft brown hair and the sun shown warmly on her back. She could faintly hear the men's voices shouting as they grubbed out stumps in the Held be- hind the cabin. At the edge of the clear- ing the tips of the trees danced merrily, as if beckoning her to come to see them. She simply could not resist the desire to steal down the path, bare feet padding in the dust. and to crouch down behind a big boulder at the turn. Mother's back had been turned when she saw Father ap- proaching for his daily jug of cool butter- milk and she hadn't seen. What fun to be freel She would go see Mrs. Taylor. Um- m-m. she could just smell the hot corn- bread! The tall trees made cool shade and every stone invited her to sit down and rest. It was great fun to explore behind every clump of elderberry bushes, and to hunt for wild strawberries hiding in the deep grass. She wandered wherever she chose-here chasing a white butterfly and 20 HOOSIER POET there watching tiny red ants busily dig- ging sand from their new home. The sha- dows grew longer and longer. but little Elizabeth was too busy to notice. Evening slipped over the forest to the lone cabin in the clearing, The sun was just setting beyond the low hills in the west when the men came home from the Held. hungry, dirty, tired-but no little girl came with them. The mother was frantic when she learned Elizabeth had not been with her Eather all afternoon. The men plunged out into the cool evening once more. and ran down the trail calling and searching. but to no avail. The for- ests. so friendly in warm daylight. glow- ered and threatened as night approached. Finally the father started to the Tay- lors for help. They would form systems of searching parties and hunt th: sur- rounding timber lands from end to end. With growing apprehension in his heart he rounded a bend in the trail and there in Taylor's outlying field on a big log stood little Elizabeth. surrounded by fluffy white lambs. preaching to the sheep! Elizabeth grew to be a lovely fair girl. strong in body and in mind. She married a quiet. upstanding pioneer boy, and they went further into the wilderness of Indi- ana to build their new home together. Through the Ere of sickness and pain. starvation and hardship. the character of the girl was molded into that of a fine woman, clear-browed. Ciod-fearing. pa- tient in the face of adversity. Out of her family of five, three are still living fine lives, carrying on in her footsteps, a living monument to one of the most courageous of pioneer spirits. -Georgia Lou Palmer.

THE DOWNFALL OF A HOBO Oh, but he was a proud old fellow. proud of his slow. shuffling walk, and proud of his slovenly ways. In his tat- tered brown pants, floppy old coat. and red handkerchief. along with the tradi- tional stick and bandana he covered the country from one side to the other. He always wore a flower in his button hole, for he loved their bright colors and it adds so much to one's appearance. His personality was a winning one, en- tirely contradicting his appearance. Wher- ever he went he made people want to do things for him: they never refused. He was known as The Count. Looking into The Count's half- closed, dreamy eyes. one found a deep con- tentment there. This was the life he wanted, the wide-open spaces, a pipe, and a campfire. and he was entirely satisfied. Then came the amazing and fatal step! The Count bought a horse and wagon! He thought he could see the world so much easier with a horse. and the few ex- tra cents for junk-collecting would buy much better tobacco. But his friends mis- understood: they thought he wanted to work. This was the downfall of the The Count : he was rejected, never again to be taken back into the fraternal brother- hood. He had broken the faith-. -Dorothy Jane Kettring. HOOSIER POET 21 HE deep bond of friendship between Jay Lallis and Emeri Raus had been shattered. Living up in the Alps near the small settlement of Zillis. Switzerland, they had been constant companions for the first sixteen years of their frolicsome boy- hoods. Now that they were of age to carry the mail to Ulstrich, a iierce rivalry had sprung up between them. Carrying the mail to Ulstrich was a very responsible task. It was necessary that the runner be well acquainted with the trail for it was very treacherous with its narrow ledges and the crevices which had to be jumped. Now, in the dead of winter, it was worse than ever. After much deliberation, Jay was given the coveted position. He performed his duties well, but it was rather disconcerting that for the first time in his life Emeri was not there to share his happiness. Both of the boys felt each other's absence, but they tried to believe it didn't matter. Late one afternoon a messenger from Ulstrich appeared at the home of the post- master saying. 'ASir. Ulstrich has not re- ceived today's mail. Could it be possible that Jay Lallis has met with misfortune? The postmaster knew that Jay's daring spirit might lead him to do almost any- thing. but he tried to conceal his alarm as he called for volunteer searchers. Just be- fore a blanket of darkness descended on the Alps, the searching parties returned. but Jay was still unaccounted for. The next morning Emeri set out for Zillis with the mail in his bag. Having the thought that Jay might possibly have been dashed to death on the rocks. he did not rejoice over his good fortune as much as he had done the night before. Yet-he was thrilled to think that he was actually carrying the mail. It was very exhilarating to be walking along in the crisp mountain air and view- ing the splendour of the dazzling snow covering the familiar Alpine peaks. Emeri felt so invigorated that he decided to try a new and shorter way to Zillis even though it was more difficult to travel. As is the custom of all Swiss boys, he was lustily yodeling when suddenly - could it be true? Was someone answering his yodel or were the echoes teasing him? ICY FRIENDSHIP He was right: there was a faint call for help which sounded from the depths be- low. Peering down he saw Jay, pleading for help. Searchers must have failed to look for him on this new trail. Emeri weighed the question in his mind. Jay was helpless, perhaps dying. Emeri wished he had never heard those cries for help. Then he could be the permanent run- ner from Zillis to Ulstrich and his con- science would not torment him if he let Jay lie there and die. But now - a sud- den contrast in feeling dawned upon him -now in the name of their old friendship he felt duty-bound to risk his own life in an effort to save Jay. Slowly and cautiously he felt his way down the embankment to Jay. The look Jay gave him was so full of gratitude that Emeri felt more than repaid for his trou- ble. Thinking quickly, he realized his Hngers were too cold to set Jay's broken leg and he had no matches to build a fire so he took off his own outer jacket and wrapped it about his friend. With an encouraging word, he sped away to the Ulstrich postmaster and soon was back with a group of guides to aid Jay. who was so exhausted he fell asleep while being carried home. After that, Emeri was repeatedly with Jay for the icy coolness between them had melted. Together they planned that as soon as Jay's broken leg was better they would both take the mail to Ulstrich. lt would be much more fun and not nearly so dangerous if both of them went. After Emeri had gone home one eve- ning. Jay confided to his mother. Lying there in all that agony seems like a horri- ble nightmare now, Mother, but the re- storation of our friendship is certainly worth it! -Elizabeth Kleinhans.

A more difficult and lengthy schedule has never been played. No team has ever encountered such great odds and terminated so victoriously, We salute this gallant group of men. Riley, 12: Fort Wayne. O: The Wild- cats' biggest scoring threats seem to be con- cealed in its forward wall which is also its best means of fortification. Bob Sweeney qualifies with the best of high school ball carriers. By recovering a blocked kick and racing eight yards for a score Oscar Hill- ring proved his ability. Morton Kimball also scores on a blocked kick. Riley, 19: Niles. O: With uniform strength on and above the gridiron Riley scores its second decisive victory. Joe Dom- nonovich blocks another kick which is good for six points. Dick 1-luckins is out- standing in his running and passing: cross- ing the goal line on one of his frequent jaunts. The final score was made in the third period by Sweeney: Good adding an extra point. Riley. 18: LaPorte, O: Riley's first con- ference opponent. Bill Wagner appears to be back in form on his quick kicking and also his ball carrying. After a long march Riley's second barrage is prevented by the end of the half. The scores were made by Wagner. Verink. and Ciood, respectively. Faulty place kicking displayed the Wild- cats' weakness to score points after touch- downs. Riley, 8: Hammond Tech. O: Riley looked ragged with only the breaks pre- venting trouble. Sweeney scores shortly after a long run by Tomsits. The only other score being made when Bill Berta blocked a kick with Hillring scoring a safety. There was a wonderful goalline stand by Riley in the fourth quarter. Riley, 7: Elkhart, O: The lone score was made by Sweeney, after a seventy-five yard run, accompanied with good block- ing. Tomsits appears to be another excel- lent back. The Poets looked good and undoubtedly out-played the Blue Ava- lanch. Domnonovich played a great game. Riley, 13: Goshen, 0: The quality of football played by the Wildcats was on a par with the previous week. Dick Ciood showed marvelous running ability by re- turning many of Goshen's fine kicks so that they did not prove advantageous for the Redskins, and also scoring the Hrst touchdown early in the second period. All of the remaining Riley threats to score, ex- cept when Wagner scored in the fourth quarter, proved useless because of offside penalties. Riley, O: Michigan City. 6: The foot- ball ability centered in the Riley squad bloomed. but simultaneously. did the breaks. The lmps scored in the closing minutes due primarily to a misplaced kick. The untimely Wildcat fumbles and inac- curate passes prove calamitous. Riley. 19: Washington, O: Through a dense fog Riley again displayed its capacity of football playing. The ball carrying of Good, Wagner, Sweeney, and 1-Iuckins added to Domnonovichs recovery of a fumble prove sufficient for three touch- downs and a place kick. The Wildcats' forward wall was impenetrable. Riley. 6: Central, 7: The Bruins were surpassed in every division of the game except the final score. A hard-hitting Wildcat eleven lost the ball again and again in the very shadows of the goal posts. Their lone tally came in the third period on a pass caught by Berta. Riley. O: Scott High. 14: Although statistics give the Wildcats another moral victory. we find them on the lower end of a very unbalanced scale when considering the score. Many unfortunate injuries pierced the Riley camp with the final out- come leaving them without a regular quar- terback. Huckins was appointed for the task and proved himself capable. Riley, 18: Mishawaka, 7: The Wild- cat eleven brought a fitting climax to their 1936 football season by trouncing the Cavemen. The Poets played an inspired brand of ball in this, their final game. Don Walden must be given attention for his outstanding playing at quarterback. Additional praise and credit must be given to Coaches Wood and Owen for their Hne work. ln conclusion, let us also applaud those boys who struggled with their masters, the varsity, but were in- capable of winning a letter.

CHEER LEADERS Another football season is over and two of our yell leaders have completed their last season as football yell leaders. Charles Abrams. who has been head cheer leader for the past year and a half, is to be commended on his excellent leadership to your cheer leaders. He has worked hard and deserves a great deal of credit. John Scheldrup, expects to keep up his fine work cheering our basketball team on to victory. Jeanne Dice. one of the girls. is a brand new yell leader, having come in at the begin- ning of the football season along with John. Shirley Dygert. because of the gradu- ation of Chuck Abrams. will become the head cheer Ad,- leader and has three years of cheer leading to her credit. You'll be seeing Shirley and Jeanne again next year. but Bud and A'Chuck are seniors and will not be with us next year.
