His loss is a sad and irreparable one. XYith a natural ability for leadership, he was the moving spirit of many school organizations. lYith his talent for journalism, it was only natural that he should be found on the staff of the Red and Green for 1917-18, and that he should be elected editor-in- chief for 1918-19. The two early issues of this year contain editorials from his pen, and similarly would this department of the Senior Annual have been headed by his editorials, if he had been spared to us, but, as it is, his picture must suffice. lt was Charlieys dearest wish to make this year's annual a splendid and true representation of the school. lt has been with this wish in view, that the staff and students have labored. May his spirit, so breathed into this magazine, make of it the success he would have wished. A. R. '19. 16 To Charles Edward Hall Ah! Friend, how sad we all do feel each day. How lonesome have become these darkened halls. How clear we hear your voice as it still calls Some word of cheer or hums some merry lay. You n'er were destined to be called to pay The sacrifice supreme or view the walls All torn nor see a comrad as he falls. Your course lay in a vastly different way. As I look up I see thy piercing eye And still recall your face as you did stand That last yet happy time before us all. Ah! Friend, With pain each one now stills a sigh And wonders why before all in the land You should so early hear the fateful call. Lytron A. Scholpp, '2O. In Memoriam The Class of Nineteen Hundred Nineteen, Jamestown High Scho-ol. At a special meeting of the Senior Class, held Tuesday, April 29, l9l9, inasmuch, as our beloved classmate, Charles li. Hall, had passed away, the following resolutions were adopted: First: That the class should enter upon a period of mourning and in significance thereof that the gavel should be draped. Second: That a committee should be appointed for the purpose of drawing up a ntting tribute to the life and character of our late friend and classmate. Third: That the said resolution should be spread upon the records of the class and a copy of the same should be sent to the parents of our beloved friend. The following tribute was drawn up by the committee and un- animously adopted by the class: Charles Edward Hall Charles was a young man of sterling worth and nobility of char- acter. His charming personality and democratic manner won for him the love and admiration of everyone with whom he came in contact. Every position of responsibility and trust placed upon him he fulfilled with a remarkable ability, characteristic of his natural and individual powers of leadership. His cheerful ccncern in the welfare of others and his willingness to do whatever was asked of him even at the sac- rifice of his own interests were his most predominant qualities. lYe cannot say too much of t'harlie'sU wide influence among all the students of the schcol. ln his office as chairman of the mass meet- 17 ings, his constant effort to promote school spirit was an inspiration to all. As editor-in-chief of the school publicationihe showed marked execu- tive and literary capacity. As president of the class of 1919 in its junior year, the class is indebted to him for whatever good they accomplished. To his associates he leaves the memory of a loyal and faithful friend and the ideal of a clean and strong young manhood. NVe, his classmates, affectionately dedicate our remaining high school days to bringing our school year to the victorious conclusion that his spirit and loyalty always desired. Ernest D. Leet, Lyman H. Aiken, Alan R. Rowley, Committee. b Tribute to Charles E. Hall Oh, Charles! thou who wert sick for five whole weeks, .Oh, Charles! surprised we were to hear of thy death, Thou who wert once our President, Oh, Charles! thou who wert once our friend and guide, Wle think of thee who late hast died. Our thoughts we here do dedicate. Oh, Charles! we mourn for thee, our classmate VX'here diligently thou worked as editor-in-chiefg Thou who now hast left us in grief. Oh, Charles! thou who wert sick for five whole weeks, Hovering between life and death, and weak, But no complaints did we receive from you, Thou withstood the strain as few could do. But now thou art gone, Oh, Charles! Though, we think of thee at intervals, Thou art gone, gone into the great beyond, Wfhere we will meet again at the trumpet sound. VVe will ne'er forget the last time we saw thee,- As thou laid in thy coffin silently, p Thy countenance was as white as the morning's dew: Thy lips as colorless as thy countenance true. Silently in thy deep grave dost thou rest, Blind art thou to nature so wonderfully dresst, No more wilt thou hear the birds as they sing Or hear the chiming bells as they ring. -G.

XX The Class of 1919 H12 year 1915-16 is not an important one in the history of our class, as we didn't even organize. XfX'ith no one to guide us, we poor l reshies'1 could do nothing but submit to the many jokes av played upon us, and go cheerfully on our way. 1 x i L The next year, however, the name of the Class of 1919 was introduced into school lite, and was shown to be worthy of notice. Our lirst step toward tame was the payment of the last sixty dollars needed for a new piano fer tl1e Upper Study Hall. Oh! we will always and forever remember that debt of sixty dollars, the money raised, borrowed, and finally paid ott. But we will also remember the difference between the old tin can and the new piano. Efforts in all lines ended with quite miraculous results. Two mem- bers of the Class were on debating teams in the Lyceumg the Athenaeum also came into existence. The attendance in this society was meagre at nrst, but soon grew and every member is now proud to say she be- longs to the Athenaeum. We hope it will some day rival the Lyceum. But this was not all. XYe have some fine athletes in our class, and during our Sophomore year they showed their genius. Our basket-ball team won the Championship in the Tnter-class league, not losing a single game. ln the track meet, also, we came out on top with 2752 points. The Seniors followed closely with 26 points, and the Freshmen with 25 points. The juniors, however, could only crowd in three. Then at last we started on our third lap, with Charles Hall as our captain. This year was hlled to the very brim, with war work, as well as social doings. Une of our classmates was chosen as Chirman of the School Red Cross Auxiliary, of which we were all members. Another was chairman of the Mass meetings, and did a greait deal in making them a success. In the parade for the third Liberty Loan, we turned out in large numbers and did justice to ourselves in spite of the lack of costumes, etc. To stand back of this showing, we subscribed for a 3100.00 bond and helped to sell many others. To secure money for our bond, we gave a circus in the gymnasium on the night of December 14th. All the performances common to circuses, were put on, from animal training to dainty toe-dancing and tight-rope walking. As for the linan- cial part, we made enough to pay for our bond and some over. ln other words, we nnished in true 119 style. The Memorial Day Programme that year was in charge of the juniors, and it was the best programme of its kind that has yet been enjoyed in the Study Hall. The junior's number of the Red and Green was also a credit. The second big event was the junior-Senior reception given on June 7th. lt was in the form of a barn party and was enjoyed from start to nnish. A tine lot of farmers, well chaperoned, were present. 34 On Class Day we presented our 95100.00 bond to the Campus Im- provement Fund and that was our last appearance as secondaries. The next year we were the upper classmen, and we immediately organized, choosing as our final president, lirnest Leet. But just as we were planning to show that we were awake, the Hu epidemic came, and we had to stay at home. Then when we were permitted to return, Saturdays became school days, as well as Fridays, and we, eager to graduate, had to buckle down to hard work and waste no valuable time. But regents over, the old spirit returned and we came out of our holes. We first decided to give a party after the game with Lafayette. XYonder- ful plans for a good time were made. The Crimson and Grey were every- where present. Programs of those colors were generously distributed. The Class Banner was hung up in the sight of all. The Senior boys wore grey caps, and the girls red ones. A challenge was given to the rest of the school to yells. Hut they went a little further, and jealous as they were, took advantage of the absence of officials and created a disturbance. At the end, however, they had gained nothing of value, Cin the way of banners, at least.j XYe were then given an opportunity to again show our athletic supremacy. Last year there were no Inter-Class Basketball games, so this year our team made up for it by winning a second championship. Vve never have been beaten yet! XYith the Senior play and graduation so near, we found it impos- sible to start anything else. XX'e urge you all to come to both of these performances and assure you of a good, interesting time. Before closing, one thing must be mentioned, of which we all think with grief and tears-a tribute to those who have left us during our high school career. Many of our boys entered the service of the United States and there continued to show enthusiasm and perseverance. These, however, will all come back, but there is one whom we will never see again,-our friend and everyonels friend, Charles Hall. He has been so interested in the class, has done so much for us, that it seems impossible to graduate without him. Wherever the Senior Class congregates, a certain something is missing,-Charles's cheerfulness and wit. But al- though these things are gone, the memory of his familiar face will never leave us. XYe shall always remember his willingnness to serve, and this memory will spur us on to carry out the things that we know Charles would have liked to do if he had been permitted to do so. Pearl lf. Anderson, Historian. 35 Our French Baby During the war, as we all know, there has been a great deal of de- vastation and sacrifice. Many people have been driven from their homes and have had to become refuges, dependent solely upon the charity of relief societies for their very existence. Homes, in many cases, have been utterly destroyed by the wanton hand of the Hun before the very eyes of the owners. Ville, here in America, can never be able to realize what this means, for in no part of -the whole United States do we have peas- antsf' In France, if a man is a peasant, he is so because that was the profession of his father and his grandfathers, and his children in turn will be peasants. There is no such thing as a peasant rising from the posi- tion of peasant in France. The peasants are a class, yes, we might almost say, a race, by themselves. In most cases, the land and the very house in which they live have been handed down from generation to generation. So is it any wonder that it was with great reluctance that the mother's gathered their little families about them and, leaving all behind, jour- neyed to seek refuge in the less dangerous southern part of France? ' 36 News of these poverty-stricken mothers came across the waters to this great open-hearted country of ours. Immediately people began to think how they could give most aid in the quickest time. Very soon committees were fcrmed throughout the country with headquarters in New York and Chicago, with the earnest approval and hacking of such men as Theodore Roosevelt and XYoodrow XYilson. The purpose cf these ccmmittees is to Find people who are willing to adopt the fatherless French children. By this method of adoption we do not have to take the case to court nor on the other hand do we take the child to live with us. But the American parent merely helps the mother to care of her child hy sending money and necessities to the child. Each adopter pays thirty-six dollars and tifty cents, which, with a small amount from the French government, is sufhcient to keep the child for one year. By this method many French hahies have become .fXmerica's ownn through the interest of private families, individuals and organiz- ations. Un October 10, 1918, arrangements were completed and the Amer-- ican History classes of the Jamestown High School became the proud parents of little Yvonne Blot from Genouilly, Cher, France. She is but six years old and has large lrrcwn eyes and dark hair. You wonder how we know all this? She has sent us her picture to show us what a dear, sweet, little girl she is. And her mother's humhle letters of grati- tude are well worth the efforts expended. And now it is hoped that the ,Xmerican History classes of the future will take an interest in this work and will carry on after the class of 1919 has gone from their midst. XX'e know from experience that they will he fully repaid for their efforts. Also, my dear Seniors, though you are soon to leave the classic portals of Alma lllater, do not forget to look hack and think of your little brown-eyed Yvonne. A-Xnd, as a result of your thinking, make Yvonne a little present, for 1 am sure that if anv- one would still like to help, they will he at perfect liberty to send with the future classes. Yvonne's mother wrote us the following letter of gratitude upon the receipt of the money sent her: Genouilly, le Z Fevier, 1919.

H. 5. as inconspicvuous Freshies? Did you ever suppose'that .those youngsters whom you regarded with such a superior, pitying T655 smile would ever hecome your rivals, and even superiors as a class? Ah, how blind is proud youth! XX'e, as hefits innocent Freshies, regarded the Sophomores with due respect and awe: how wise and scholarly you looked to our eyes. This, with our immature judg- ment, we thought, is the class in whose footsteps we must follow, if we wish to become great. By ohservation we learned that appearances are deceiving. How lifeless the class of l9l9 was! That wasn't our idea of High School life. XYe wondered whether it was customary for all classes to hibernate during their Sophomore year. NYith the undaunted spirit of the untried we decided to make a way to class spirit since we couldn't find one. lnveniemus aut faciemus viam I QXYe,ll find a way or make onej became our motto. How exciting life was as Freshmen. XYe learned to boast of our demerits, to take A'P's with a grin, and to accept peaceahly the taunts hurled at us hy our superior classmates. We organized in April and with coaching hy teachers and studying hooks on Parliamentary Practice we soon knew how to conduct a very husinesslike meeting. By the way, we weren't as slow at learning as the class of 1922 seems to he! Then the war came on and we immediately put our proud spirit to knitting and picking potato hugs. Toward the end of the year came the Memorial Day parade in which the class of l920 made its first real public appearance. There we covered ourselves. with honor-and 50 dust. Next came the Liberty Loan. This time we showed a real patriotic fervor. XYe were the first class in H. S. to buy a bond. Our Sophomore year was a continuation of our promising beginning- no hiberating for us. XYe put away all remains of childishness and strove hard to bear our new dignity with honor. XYe realized that it fell upon us to set an example for the class of 1921 to follow. -Xs the war still took precedence in everyone's thoughts and actions, we began by purchasing two more Liberty Bonds and participating in patriotic par- ades. In spite of the war the basket-ball season was soon in full swing. XYe decided to give a party after the last game of the year, and give one we did. Everyone had a fine time dancing. Cf course we had little performances between times, as our teachers will testify, but the next real one was our Sophomore Mock Trial, the culmination of many months of hard drill and the climax of our school year. The serene Seniors looked on in bored silenceg the superior jun- iors with ill-suppressed interest: the dear little Freshmen with frank admiration and our adored parents with loving satisfaction. Un- prejudiced spectators declared that it was a rare dramatic treat and we Sophs knew that it raised a neat sum for the Red Cross. After bravely running the gauntlet of June examinations, we came back as Juniors. It was alarming to think that we had only two more years in which to help uplift the standards of J. H. S. XX'e resolved not to waste precious time, and, turning our backs on pleasure, immediately settled down to Caesar, Physics and Grammar. But lfate rescued us from the impending brain fever which would surely have resulted. The Flu struck the world and everyone had a vacation. This vacation and the coming january examinations cast a numbing intluence on all activi- ties. XYe awakened, however, from the spell on Senior night. After the seniors had been put through a great many clever tricks by their leaders for the entertainment of the spectators, the lfreshies, Sophs, and juniors started a little rumpus: the red and grey caps had something to do with it. During the excitement, for haughty seniors someimes scrap, a little fairy tlitted along the parallel bars and the senior banner dropped. Poor seniors! XYe hope they didn't feel any effects from their scare! Because of our part in this unfortunate occurrence we must perforce forgo the pleasure of having a junior Night and had to give a party together with the other classes. Our next event was unprecedented. On the Friday before Easter vacation, we held a junior get-together in the gymnasium. XYe dis- covered a lot of latent talent among our members. XYe found doctors speakers, movie actresses, directors, auctioneers and professors. XX'e became acquainted with one another and the fellows found out that there are a few good-looking Junior girls! 41 v But the very biggest event of the school year was the May Festival given under the auspices of the junior and Sophomore classes and made possible by the untiring efforts of our teachers. lYe don't need to describe this event, for everyone was there. Right here we wish to say that th Sophs certainly have profited by the example set by l920, for they made very efficient partners and we wish to congratulate them on th fine showing they made at their first important public appearance. Soon we will be giving a reception for the Seniors and we promise that it will be a real party and show our respect and loyalty to the ones who will so soon be going out from our midst. Annie H. Olson, 320, Historian. Our Class Since history began, There have been class and clan XfYith cleverness a-plenty. But for spirit and pride And loyalty beside Give me the class of '20, Of J. H. S. lYelll think no less XYhen the world gives each one a place, So here's to the brightness The lineness and rightness, Tllatls bound to win every race. Thelma Peterson, '20, The junior Party 'juniors All would help to describe the party held junior night, April eleventh, in the Hgynifl At the door the seal of l920 was placed on the hand of each member. The gym was prettily decorated with crepe paper, flags and pussy willows, the main feature being a white daisy, the class ilower, which was suspended from the horizontal bar. The banner occupied a con- spicuous place ancl the face of the clock was cleverly concealed. During the evening a very cleve.r and interesting stunt programme was given, the members themselves presenting it. Marked talent was shown by the actors in the thrilling movie, XYild Nell, the Pet of the Plains and one was really surprised at the clever disposal of the dif- ferent callers by the Coquette. The trials of a movie director were 42 skillfully depicted and the bids at the auction ran unusually high. A scene from the Study Hall was presented and every one enjoyed the speech from the Press of the DeXYitteville Seminary. It would be al- most impossible to count all the historical events which happened in the wonderful year of 1492. Last, but not least, were the miracles performed by the Doctor Magician. Then we gathered together, and, led by our president, Ted Vim- merstedt, we snaked-danced around the gym, after which we formed a circle and gave our favorite yells and sang Alma Mater. XYe were then served with French ice-cream and wafers. Miss jones, Miss Farman, Mr. and Mrs. XYinslow, who graced our party with their presence, voted it the most successful class function which has ever been given. - . , Rl. lt. X., 20. A Yes, They are Successful At last after two or three years, during which it was apparently thought that no party would be a success without dancing, .IQ H. S. had a danceless party. The party is the one held by the juniors on ,Xpril llth. It was a success, too, for everyone had a good time. Ask any jlunior. Danc- ing parties in the school can certainly not be called school parties, for the majority of students do not dance, either because they are unable or are forbidden to. Many, therefore, either do not attend the parties or must be joyless onlookers. So for the sake of real school fellowship and enjoyment let us have more danceless parties at j. H. S. in the future.

K I We have dug for our knowledgel' and obtained the Sophomore 'ik nugget which will take two more years to polish before we can turn out the finished product. Finished product? XX'ell, the 4 finished product of J. H. S. for our career has only begun. IC ea ca U U Q A 2 4 'EA' IS Q1 Last year we started our career in right by entering into the contest for the sale of Community Festival tickets. lDidn't we sell the most of any class in High School? XYere we not the first class to buy a Liberty Bond? Didn't we raise some money for a Freshman piano? QBy the way, where is that piano?J Didn't we sell the most XYar Sav- ings Stamps and greatest of all, didn't cur class of '21 win the Honor Flag of Jamestown by selling the most Liberty llonds in the third loan? NYe surely did, and although there haven't been as many war drives this year as there were last, we have not lost any of our Upepf' Under Miss Aiken's able leadership this fall, packages of all sizes and descrip- tion were obtined for the Belgians and we certainly did work hard in procuring enough bundles to represent the noble Sophls. It could hardly be expected that the Sophomore Class could go through a whole year without a party and so we took our chance to show the students of H. S. a good time by giving a party after the game with Erie. Oh! wasn't the punch good? Wfe danced in the gym to the time of the Jazz Band's inspiring music and even though we were defeated by Erie in the game, we were not defeated in spirit. lt finally came time for our Annual Community Festival, which is given to raise money for the upkeep of our School Park. The Sopho- mores and Jumors thcught it would be a fine plan to have a May 45 Festivalg and so, with some of the teachers as our needed supervisors, we undertook what proved to be a large task. We had two performances, one given in the gymnasiuzn and the other given in Institute llall, both aftvrrcon and evening. We had supper in the cafficteria and between perfozwiiances had danc- ing in the gymnasium. lce cream, candy and hot dogs were sold on the grounds in the afternoon and evening. All trade was carried on by the use of five cent coupons. I am sure both classes feel well repaid for what little work we did, and want to thank the teachers, who helped us, for their earnest co- operation. And so: By reading this history you'll see for yourself, That the Sophomore activities are not on the shelf. B. S.

A glance through the annuals that have been published in former years reveals the fact that freshmen have been pictured as still playing with Teddy bears, rubber rings and rattles. Une annual pictures the Freshmen as being led to school by a motherly nurse maid, another represents them as sucking their lingers, while still another intimates that they are not beyond the stage of Mrs. XYinslow's soothing syrup. lt would not be a difficult matter, if we thought it worth while, to refute all these base insinuations, regarding our extreme youthful- ness. The number of years that Richard Doolittle and George Pitts have been in society, would of itself be sufficient proof that we have passed beyond the stage of early infancy. NYe prefer to ignore all these ungracious reliections, however, and simply menticn a few of the things that make the class of 1922 unique. XYhat class, we should like to ask, can boast a cartoonist and sign- painter like George Davis? ln what other Class will you see a Beau Brummel like james Ross Brown? NX'here will you lind a more daring cyclist than Charles Anderson? lYhat boy ever carried a wiser head on a younger body than Relf Crissey? And the girls--can any class show us a pair of chums equal to Augusta and Betty? Gr girls with more wonderful and original plans than Mary Robertson and Rachael Pickard? Search the English classes of the High School and you will not End another critic like Marjorie Dye. But to mention the noteworthy characteristics of the members of this class would require a catalogue, beginning with Ahlstrom and end- ing with Youngren. For each student possesses certain qualities that contrbute toward making one of the best Freshmen classes in the history of H. S. ' i ln this brief article your reporter has held scrupulously to the truth. 48 lf some parts of the article sound a bit boastful, please remember that much more might have been said without exaggeration. XYe are proud to be l'xI'CSll1H61'1 and we are not ashamed to say so right out in public. Ve doult care much for boys and girls who will not yell for their own class, do you? K. P., 22. x lf, x 7 S, . i The Old Willow In the early days of Jamestown, one of the citizens most actively interested in the progress and development of the settlement was Elial T. Foote. He was owner of farm land on East Second Street, where now the Grammar and High School are located. lt is related that once on returning from a horse-back ride, Judge Foote carelessly thrust into the earth the willow branch that he had been using as a whip, and that the ground being moist from heavy rains, the quick growing willow took root and in time grew into a tree. It was a beloved landmark and from year to year much was done to improve it. Finally, however, since it had absorbed as much cement as it was capable of taking care of, and as there was no other cure for its ailments of old age, it was cut down. Another beloved landmark, Mr. Rogers, who has been superin- tendent of our High School for twenty-nine years, and was principle a number of years before that, is also about to leave. And last, but not least, the class of 1919, being crammed full of knowledge and having given much luster to the school, will take its de- parture with the other landmarks of note. lf. O.

Ernestine I. Pulver, 'l9. 56 An Experience inithe Big Woods 6,3149 T was a beautiful afternoon. Before me lay a lake of deepest fl. sapphire-blue, isolated in a boundless forest, which ,began at 'QT the shore and lost itself in a purplish haze at the snow line of f?,n P. the surrounding mountain range. It was a pine forest, and such pines! They stood, regiment after regiment, tall, stately, austere, magnificent, 'More impressive still was the silence, in in which everything was immersed, a silence so impressive, that it seemed to enlarge my conception of the vastness of nature, and I thought what an infinitesimal part of creation I was. In this mood, I paddled for some time around the lake, which I have just described, little realizing how late it was growing. It was only when I beheld the sun sinking in a blaze of cataclysmic splendor behind the crimson and purple tinted peaks, that I remembered that night was fast approaching. I had strayed too far from the village, where I was enjoying the delightful autumn weather, to think of returning that night. I was pretty well provided, however, with all that goes to make up a hunter's outfit, so that I could put up almost anywhere. Presently I came to a break in the luxuriant growth at the shore- line: and there in a clearing stood a cabin, apparently deserted. Here, I thought, was an excellent place to spend the night. After landing, I entered the cabin to inspect the hospitality so un- expectedly, and yet so opportunely, thrust upon me. just inside the doorway, I felt a wave of horror pass over me. My hair had a tendency to stand on end, and there was a creepy sensation along my spine. This experience, however repellent, seemed totally groundless, for there was nothing in sight to produce such a sensation. Although this feeling was of but momentary duration, it was, neverthe- less, with considerable uneasiness that I began a careful scrutiny of my surroundings. The cabin was built of logs and contained but one room, lighted by a small window. At the further end was a rude fireplace. Abovewas a loft which could be reached by a ladder. I-Iaving cooked and eaten what little food I had brought with me, I banked the fire and ascended the ladder to the loft, where I intended to retire. I lay down and gazing out through a small window over the moonlit waters, I soon fell into a deep sleep. I-Iow long I slept I do not know. Suddenly I found myself sitting bolt upright, thrilled with horror, the cold perspiration standing out all over me. I had been awakened by a cry-a cry of some creature in pain. 57 I listened in vain for a recurrence of the sound. My eye was caught presently by a small object moving on the shimmering waters. As it approached, it appeared to be someone in a cone, paddling swiftly for ashore. In a few moments I could make out a man, evidently an old woodsinan, a bright red object on his head, nearing hand in the direction of my cabin. He landed, drew his canoe up on the bank beside my own and stumbled unsteadily up the path. Then, transfixed with horror, I realized what that crimson object on his head was. The man had been scalped! He entered the cabin. I could hear him moving clumsily around and then, with a dull thud, he fell to the floor and all was quiet. It was some time before I could screw up enough courage to peer down from the lofe. When I did, the sight of the trapper, lying in a pool of blood, his face drawn and bloodstained, and his whole appearance rendered more ghastly by the ruddy glow from the dying embers in the fireplace, drove all vitality from me and I fell forward in a faint. VVhen I recovered my senses, the sun was shining and the forest rang with the call of awakened nature. Everything seemed fresh and clean with the dawn of a new day. My spirits were suddenly dampened, however, when I recalled what had taken place. After considerable hesitation, but encouraged by the daylight, I again peered down from the loft. No one can describe the astonishment I felt, for there was no record of last night's proceedings there, not even a bloodstain on the Hoor. I began to feel the relief of one awakened from a vivid nightmare. Not being entirely convinced, I went down to my canoe on the beach. It was still there, but there was no evidence of the strangerls canoe. The whole affair was certainly most peculiar. Barring the super- natural, I had only been the victim of a joke. I lost no time in getting back to the village, where I told my story. Some laughed, some only smiled, while others actually believed me, but no one offered any explanation, except one old man. He said that long ago an old trapper, while returning home one night from his traps, was attacked by Indians and scalped. He was just able to make his way back to his cabin, where he was found dead. It is said that at times his spirit returns and lives again the scene in his cabin, which is shunned by all. Unless someone can supply a better explanation, I am afraid this rather psychic one will have to stand. I. F. Abbott Rick, '19, 58 The Missing Violinist Under the stars in the dusky calm, She sat and dreamed of one who had gone. He had gone to the war's dark thund'rous night And hastened to answer his country's call. 'With Love and Genius still burning bright He had gone to the war's dark tund'rous night To the screaming shell and scorching hell, And deeds no human tongue could tell. She sees not the stars, nor the night new-born, But thinks of that last October morn XYhen ,mid horrors of war and the battles fray, Life's goal was lost in that liar-Away. f'Nor did I know till then, sighed she, The trust, the love I bore to thee. And she thinks of that sweet, now long ago hour XN'hen they sat alone in the garden bower. All the music with his bow he brought lichoed some all harmonious thought, A rapt'rous flood of love divine, Poured forth on the summer's even time.

The Little Rosebush , N a deep green forest, where the moss-coverd remains of an old colonial mansion still stood, was a garden. It was filled 1 with most beautiful flowers-roses, asters, gardenias, Chrysan- themums, lillies, pansies and every imaginable flower. In a shady corner grew a tiny rosebush, unnoticed and uneared fer, except by the sun, the wind and the dew. As it grew near to the time when roses bloom, there was but one tiny bud on this lonely little bush. The bush felt sad, but the wind whispered loving little messages to her and the sun smiled brightly down upon it-and it thrived. .Xnd one morning the bush awoke to find her baby bud a baby no longer, but the sweetest scented, most beautiful rose in the whole garden. Oh! how happy the tiny bush was then: and how the other bushes stared in surprise when they saw it! All the other flowers tried to be pleasant then and the sun shone brightly upon them and the wind whis- pered to them all in pleased surprise. The buttertlies eame and hovered lovingly over the wonderful rose, the bees came, too, and a little hum- ming bird rested on a branch of the tiny bush and sang a sweet song to the rose. The whole garden was friendly and gay. Never again did the little bush have cause to feel lonely or sad for she always had the companionship of the other bushes and Hoxvers, but she loved her old friends-the sun, the wind, and the dew, more in her happy days than in all the others. A. L. F., ,19. 60 The Wanderer I wandered over hills and vales And on through groves of trees, In search of many things that sail And flutter in the breeze. Now by a farmhouse high and long, Now 'cross a meadow stream, Then o'er a babbling brook, whose song Was wonderful it seemed. XX'here'ere I looked, where'er I went My treasure I never found, But what care I for Spring will send Sweet Summer, where true joys are found. Priscilla Armstrong, '19 Our Summer Day XYhen all the buds come bursting forth To make the world so gay, XYe know that once again has come Our longed for Summer Day. The little brooks rush full and fast Along their mountain way, They gleam and sparkle as they go On this bright Summer day. The birds send forth their sweetest carol And make one feel so gay, And glad that one is living On this our Summer day. Phyllis Dahlstrom, '19 61 The Monroe Doctrine ,lax HE French have a saying to the effect that inconsequential be- ginnings are not to be trusted. Little did james Monroe think that one day his doctrine would be applied to the whole world. lkisfsi t-Qffu A f 5 Of course, there has been considerable opposition to it, but, in spite of this, the most eminent men of the day advocate that the Monroe Doctrine should be continued as a part of the per- manent foreign policy of the United States. For about three quarters of a century it has been called the foundation of the nationls policy in regard to foreign affairs. Lately it has been bitterly criticized and vig- orously reasserted. On the whole, it is the most widely controverted as well as the most important phase of our foreign power. lt is gen- erally admitted that the occasion for the promulgation of this doctrine was the claim of Russia to occupy territory in the Northwest and the Holy Alliance, consisting of the principal European powers, attempting to reinstate Spanish rule in South America. It is also further agreed, President Monroe's statement was: 'lThat the American continents were not to be considered subjects for future colonization by European pow- ers, and That any intervention in South American affairs would be regarded as manfesting an unfriendly spirit toward the United.States. ln considering this question, there are four main points at issue: Is the Monroe Doctrine supported by authorityg reasong the experiences of the past, by the necessities of the future? The Monroe Doctrine is upheld by authority. The highest power backs it-that of international law. Every state has the right to resist the acts of another against a th-ird, which threatens its peace and se- curity. This is a well defined principle of international law and in these advanced days sufhces to prove our point. Moreover, the practise of nations supports the Doctrine. All the nations have accepted it. National precedent and policy sustains it. Every President has re- affirmed it. It is the embodiment of the ideals of Washington, Jef- ferson, Adams and Madison. Finally, every Latin-American republic has affirmed it. Inevitably we must conclude that the Monroe Doctrine is backed by authority. The Doctrine is practical. It is also supported by reason. Such sound, political principles as the right of self-defense, the duty of pre- serving the peace, the safety of the nation and the paramount interests of the United States form the basis for it. Continuing, the experiences of the past, uphold the Monroe Doctrine. lt has made possible the independent existence of South American States, because they have been kept free from the ambitions and in- trigues of European diplomats. Furthermore, this Doctrine has been invaluable to the United States. Powerful and hostile nations have been 62 prevented from encamping nearby. The quarrels of the old world have been kept out of the new, thus securing international peace. So we can not otherwise conclude, but that the experiences of the past uphold the Doctrine. Finally the increase of the necessities of the future, demand the promulgation of this doctrine. VVithout it, the colonization and partition of South America would begin, because there is an enormous overflow of population in Europe and colonies of Europeans have already settled in many parts of this continent. Only the firm assertion of such a definite doctrine as this, can prevent a repetition of what happened in Africa and China. Furthermore, the doctrine is essential to our national welfare. To abandon it, would seriously impair our national prestige, because the preeminence of the United States in the Western VVorld would be destroyed. Forts, naval stations, and colonies of powerful nations would lurk around our outposts. Thus grave international dangers would constantly threaten us. So it is very plain that the demands of the future insists upon the promulgation of this doctrine. A Now since the Monroe Doctrine is supported by authority, reason, and by past experiences, since the necessities of the future demand it, we cannot otherwise conclude but that the Monroe Doctrine should be continued as a part of the permanent foreign policy of the United States. So, let us all uphold it, thus fulfilling the song, Let's all be Americans now. J. B., '19, Springtime At last the joyful spring is here, Gone is the winter old and drear, The fiowers from their dreams arise, And now are rubbing their sleepy eyes. The daffodils nodding in the breeze, Wliile birds are twittering in the trees. The bushes tiny leaflets show, And everything beginsgto grow. Thus Nature does herself adorn, Upon this lovely springtime morn, And when I upon this ponder, In distant lands my thoughts do wander, ln country far away I roam, Until the fairies bring me home.

Persell 66 I A 'P DEPT uf J.H.S. U HE Art Department of the J. H. S. takes a prominent place in its curriculum. I' 1 I . . . - 5 The subject is an elective, but many students avail them- selves of the opportunity to study in the different classes. The i f work is made attractive by the use of the different mediums, pencil, charcoal, water colors, umbra and pastels. The course covers a large variety of subjects and the studio is filled every hour of every day with interested workers. One of the most important feature of the May Festival was the exhibit of the Art Department. The upstairs corridors were filled with work of various classes. Room 33 was given over entirely to free hand pencil drawings of the Elementary, Representation classes. Room 32 contained some lovely pastels, charcoal drawings and water colors made by the Advance Representation class. Nliss NYoodford's Advanced Design Class contributed some at- ractive plates in conventional designs and monograms, also some book covers destined to keep convalescing soldiers and sailors in good spirits. The Elementary Design classes exhibited Liberty Loan and garden posters, as well as books on interior and exterior decorating, called K'House Beautifulf' liach department of the High School, moreover, was represented by posters made by this class. Besides this work, the Art Department has done very clever adver- tising throughout the year. Gur athletics, debates, parties, festivals and even the Cafeteria could hardly do without this department. lt is through the untiring efforts of the teachers and students of Art that each and every activity of the School is advertised and made known abroad. Louise G. Fenner, '2G. 68 EXCHANGES The Exchange Department is one of the most important depart- ments of a school paper, as it is through this department that we have the opportunity of comparing school publications. VVe also find its value in the stimulation of wholesome competition and in the benefits derived from the criticisms. As We See Others The Clarion, Lynnbrook High School 1-Pleased to meet you. Your cartoons are clever and your war stories realistic and appealing. The Warrilor, Salamanca High School:-An exceptionally good magazine. Interesting from cover to cover. The Key Note, Ithaca Conservatory of Music:-Your magazine is artistic and very interesting to students of music. The Shucis, Schenectady High School 1-A story as original and as well written as VVhen Alice VVon is rarely found in a school maga- zine. You may well be proud of it. Why not have a few cuts? The Advance, Salem High School :-Your magazine would be much improved by adding a few cuts. The Peddie News, Peddie Institute :-Wlelcome to our Exchange list. Your magazine shows that you are alive and up-to-date, but why don't you boys enliven it still more, by adding a few more jokes. The Weekly Original, Marietta, Ohio :-You have a well written paper. Your Medley was clever. The High Shool Bulletin, Mt. Morris, N. Y. 1-A number of the smaller High Shools are editing a page or part of a page in a daily news- paper. This is a good idea, as it interests the public in the High School. Keep up the good work. NVe would also like to acknowledge The Blue and lYhite, XYarren, Pa., and also The Polytechnic, Renssaeler Polytechnic Institute. As Others See Us Yours is a very interesting paper. Your cuts are fine. The War- rior, Salamanca, N. Y. Your cover design is very neat and attractive. VVhy not unearth more jokes of your own and discard some of the ancient ones? The Panorama, Binghamton, N. Y. 69 HEY SAYIQQ fa- May Festival Saturday, May 3, occurred one of the most interesting events of thg year, the May Festival. This was one of a series of an- ment and upkeep of the Hundred .Xcre Lot. .-Xlthough the former festivals have been marred by rain, for this festival we f - W K 4 'lv 1 nual events, whose purpose is to raise money for the unprove- sfi ' .W l had the finest of weather. The program opened at 2:30, with the dedication of the Victory Oak to the soldiers who gave their lives for us: thg address was given by Mr. Wan. S. Bailey. The acceptance, in behalf of the men in the service, was made by Capt. Samuel A. Brown, at 2:50. A memorial ad- dress was given under the Roosevelt Elm by Dr. John li. Hillberg. These addresses all made the audience think and feel. At half past three, in Institute Hall, was given a play, entitled 'fThe Neighbors by a caste, selected from the junior Class. The play was a rather humorous, yet touching picture of country life, and kept the audience either in laughter or in tears. Preeeding the play was presented a series of musical numbers. Edna Richardson and Miss Ford each sang a solo, and later a duet, which were highly appreciated. Paul Smith then sang a tenor solo. At the afternoon performance, Mrs. Gertrude LaSalle Bachop played a piano solo, and a piano duet was rendered by Miss Ford and Albert Scholin. ln addition a very pleasing violin-piano duet was given by Mr. and Mrs. Lingo. 70 Meanwhile, i nthe gymnasium a vaudeville show was progressing. 'fThe Strolling Minstrels presented a realistic parody on Shakespear's Romeo and Juliet, which was made especially tragic by the fact that Romeo stabbed himself so hard, that she broke her sword. Next came a group of High School girls in gay colored dancing frocks who executed a charming little folk dance. Miss -lane Lewis, with her well-known charm and grace, gave the Sailor's Hornpipe and Yama Yama Dance. A violin-piano duet, March from Tannhauserf, was very well played bv llmmett Carson and Ethel Sundell, after which the Village Choir nioved the audience to tearsf Pj with its sweet melodies. Finally came a comedy, entitled The Mothers of Edwardm which reminded sus strongly of our kindergarten days in the 'iDark Ages. The performance in both the Hall and the Gymnasium were repeated at eight o'clock. From 5 130 to 7 :30, supper was served in the Cafeteria, during which the guests refreshed themselves between bites with dancing in the gym- nasium. There was also dancing after the evening vaudeville show. On the whole, the festival was very successful and much praise is due Miss XVillard, and the teachers who assisted her, for their capable management. The total amount cleared was about two hundred fifty dollars, and we all had a lot of fun out of it, besides. What Do You Think of the Faculty? fine out of ten of the answers to this question would be some- thing likg the following: The faculty is the body of men and women paid to rule, govern, teach and dictate to the student body. They sup- press school spirit, they control the athletic interests of the school, they dictate to the student body and they do not let the students do what they want to. The other one of the ten answers would probably be: The faculty is a body of men and women selected for their capabilities to teach and to control, not dictate to the student body. They do all in their power, mc-reover, to build up the right kind of school spirit. They look out for the mutual benefit of the entire studentfbody instead of only a few in- dividuals. They try to influence our aim in life so that we can try to better ourselves. XYhich of these two answers do you agree with? lf you are one of the nine, remember the old saying that the minority is always right. lf yu are the one of the ten, then stick to your guns, old chap, and help others to believe. How often have you not heard someone say, Oh, that teacher has a grudge against me, l can't do good work for her. Stop and think, kno-cker, haven't you got a grudge against that teacher? ln general, remember this, the facility are older and wiser than the students, and experience makes the best teacher. T. V., '20, 71 PLAYERS OR E SENI TH Green Stockings ---- Senior Play Perhaps this should be headed-Green Stockings Minus-. XYe are sure that none of us saw the green stockings or the need of them. Green stockings for bewitching Celia? Never! She proved that. A synopsis would be superlflous. XYe all prefer to have our own memory of it, instead of its being recorded in a cut and dried summary. Everyone who saw it, agreed that it was the best Senior Play ever given in the High School. It surely was a huge success from llobby Tarver's 'fThanks awfully to Aunt lda's T mush lie down, l mush, I mush, if only for five minutes. Everyone of the cast is deserving of the great- est praise for the notable success with which they interpreted their parts. Daphne jharl, as leading lady, Celia Faraday, had a very difficult part to take and she is to be congratulated for her remarkable inter- pretation and presentation of it. Allan Rowley, playing opposite her, as Colonel Smith, made a striking appearance in his llritish uniform, and did some decidedly clever acting. listher Linder as .Xunt Ida, was the darling of the audience, They were kept in a constant uproar of laughter throughout by the able way, with which she carried out her humorous parts-from hysterics and tipsiness-to tl1e effect of the throat-spray. Ernest Leet and Priscilla .iXrmstrong. playing opposite each other, as Mr. Bobby Tarver and fiancee, Phyllis liaraday, made a charming pair. As Phyllis said, Bobby was so clever and so witty. As for Lyman Aiken, as james Raleigh, some one was heard to say, K'You know, that young chap is missing his vocation, by not taking to the stage. Then too, who could ever have imagined happy go-lucky Abbot Rick, as the staid old butler? llut Necessity is the mother of invention. The minor parts were so well rendered, that we were not aware of the fact, that they were minor parts. These were ably taken by Ellen Palmer, as Mrs. Rockingham, Kittie Turner, as Lady Trench- ard, both fashionable society ladies: by Paul Haskin, as the affectionate? elderly father, XYalter Eckberg, as Admiral Grice, and -lohn Barrett, as Henry Steele. The success of the play was greatly due to the faithful and untiring work of Miss Freck, who for many weeks has carefully drilled the cast. And with the combined efforts of both Miss lireck and the cast, the play was certainly a winning card for the Class of 1019. 73 ISIS? 2 x -A x 1 1 PA 1 1 1 11,6 111111 Football ---- 1918-IQ 1 have 136611 1lehati11g s1'1111e time as how t11 classify 11111' 111111111111 seascx-11, as g01111, 112111 or i1111i11ere11t, 211111 it is s1111111 task. ll11w1-ver.

A Interclass Basketball Although the Interclass Basketball League was not formed until late in the season, yet it aroused inuch interest and not a little rivalry. The seniors captured all the honors, but, let it be whispered around, not without some sure 'nuff games. The games were held after school, but even so, a good crowd of ardent fans turned out to shout for their numberals, much to their credit, let it be noticed. The Class Lineups '19 S. Scholpp, L.

Scholpp, Clyde Rogerscn, S. Marsh Johnson, Sylvan S. Scholpp. The day was not favorable for a track meet: there had been a heavy rain and the field was in poor condition, which accounts for the slow marks. Two records, however, were broken in the pole vault and high jump. The position of the schools were, Jamestown 43, Monaca -ll, Mead- ville 20: Edgewood 9, Mayville 8: Cochranton 1. Lytron Scholpp won the 220 yard low hurdles and third in the 100 yard dash. Rogerson came in second place in the half mile run and the mile run. Sylvan S.

Scholpp also secured Znd place in the running high jump and running broad jump. Dem Were Happy Days Jamestown High School is fast coming to its own. One is readily convinced of this, if he will look over our record for the season 1918-19. We have been lucky this year to secure Doc. Babcock as our coach. The improvements in the scores will convince us of that. Although in the beginning of the year, we were handicapped because a number of our athletes were in the service and because of the Flu ban, yet we have made a remarkable showing in all branches of our athletic career. The Flu knocked all of our football projects in the head, with an excellent schedule prepared, and one game played, and no public gatherings allowed. However, when the ban was lifted, it was too late for any outside games, but nevertheless, Manager Dunn scurried about and induced a group of men who designated themselves as Ex High men, 81 into playing two games. There all of our surpressed spirit broke loose, under Hermie's leadership. Vllhen the last issue of the Red and Green came out, we were somewhat in doubt, as to the outcome of the Basket liall season. But- we can't kick. The sweetest morsel in our mouth is that we beat XYarren's unbeatable team, both on our court and theirs. ln ad- dition, however, we tackled some of the hardest teams on the market and succeeded in carrying off the country championship. We kept up our reputation for clean sport and the High School took a lot of the entertainment of visiting teams from our hands, for which we would like to render here our thanks. liven though the Hi Club, for some unaccountable reason, can not become recognized by the High School yet, they are continually growing sc-me new help to the school, and the basket ball team appreciates it. Gne cannot say that the work of the team was due to any one person, because it was net. Team work brought our basket ball season to a successful close. The name of Breckenridge, however, has become the synonym for Kyle, speed and accuracy, in pocketing these goals. This year's track has ccme back with a boom. The lndocr Track Meet at the gym and then the meet at the Armory, where we were easy winners of the cup, has put the interest in what heretofore has been dead in old J. H. S. XYhile this year was a huge success, we are all looking forward to a bigger accomplishment next year. We have been shown that we have ability, now let's use it. In talking with Doc this morning, he said, that this year's baseball team were not trying to get baseball back on a par with the other athletics. The season is so late, that the team cannot make a big hit, but it is expected to arouse interest this year. lf you will only stop to think, you will realize that we have had a number of record breakers on the floor this year. l have asked a participate in the two outside meets to give you a summary on the trips, and l will let him announce the startling reports which the teams brought back with them. In spite of serious reverses, yet we have taken a long step in reviv- ing the school athletics. With the success of our teams and the come- back of track and baseball, we have also helped the morale of our school and class spirit. Letis everyone of us go for athletics next fall, and let's go hard. Give every team your most ardent support and yell! yell! yell! for school spirit. 82 lj'-, an 1 4 ' i . if i',., fu ll lilly ni t .4 i 1' lv 1 w w. , P' 123 flw.' l l5 A t .rlllw ltf fl 9 . .- i ' ,lx .Q Q...

A regular schedule for both terms has been carried out, including debates on questions of the day, ex- temporaneous discussions, hat speeches, declamations and parliamentary practice. Dr. Macflellaud recently gave an interesting talk before the Lyceum. The regular sessions will be concluded by the annual banquet. Hamilton Contest The preliminary contest for the Hamilton College speaking contest, was held by Jamestown in Institute Hall. Jamestown lligh School was 83 , , I represented lay Stanley Turnquist. Only four schools were represented, Jamestown, XYestneld, Silver Creek and Lakewood. John Seldon repre- senting XYestheld, was selected as winner. The High School of Free- port, was the successful school at Hamilton College. if I Alfred Contest Jamestown High School was also represented at Alfred University in the pulnlic speaking contest. There were nine schools represented, Avon, Haverling, Hornell, Silver Creek, Corning, Northside, Alfred, Castile, XX'estheld and Jamestown. XYalter McCarthy of Corning, North- side, was awarded first prize, Sylvan S. Scholpp cf Jamestown, second prize, Jce P. Frushone of Silver Creek, third prize. 85 THE ATHENAEUM The Athenaem A9 HE Athenaeum Society reorganized this year as a dramatic so- ciety, rather than a debating club. They took up their new role with enthusiasm. At their regular bi-monthly meetings, chosen members of the society presented light farces, pantom- SJ F inies, readings, recitations and music. On March 14, the society made its first public appearance at Institute Hall in a one act comedy. The Sewing Circle Meets at Mrs. Martins This was a typical afternoon sewing society. Margaret Anderson made a lovely Mrs. Martin and as hostess distinguished her- self for her society manners, while Edith VVarren, her poor maid, who tried so hard not to make mistakes, added plenty of humor. Rhoda Torrance, the treasurer of the Sewing Circle, was especially attractive in her new gown and hat. Ruth Stilson, as the minister's wife, tried her best to keep peace among the ladies. The other members of the Sewing Circle were Lily Carlin, as Mrs. Bruce, Florence TiHany as Mrs. Timmins, Mildred Towne, as Mrs. Spooner, Lorinda Linquist, as Miss Peters, and Marguerite Burnette as Mrs. Spruce. These with Mary VVarren as Mrs. Smith, the Parish terror, who was surely a real terror, made up the cast. Before the play, Lillian Sandbloom played several popular airs on the piano and Miss Hall and Miss Ford gave a vocal duet. The play was successful financially, and the society had the pleasure of presenting seventy-five dollars to the School Park Fund. AAC- also g AX, 87 CLUB GIRLS' HIGH SCHOOL The Girls' High Club Un March 12th, the girls who attended the Rochester convention, brought Miss Helen Hughes, the girls' secretary of the Northeastern field here, to explain the purpose of the girls high school clubs. lin- thused by her talk, we immediately decided to form a High Y Club and about a week later we held our first meeting. The following officers were elected: President, Priscilla,iXrmstrongg Vice President, Ernestine Pulverg Secretary, Allene Carlson: Treasurer, Helen Gokey. At each meeting there is usually presented a program, whether a stunt or play. Once we beheld Marie XYelshofer, as the beautiful Cinder- ella, with Marabelle Jones, as the doughty prince, kneeling before her in adoration. A feature of another meeting was a star gym. class, who performed such commands, as Tongues forward stretch, with astonishing accuracy. There has always been a supper after the meet- ings, which have been very well attended. At our last meeting, which was a joint meeting with the boys High Club, they were thunderstruck by the exhibition of spirit on the part of the girl.s Throughout every meeting runs the spirit of gocd fellowship and democracy. Member- ship is open to all the girls in the three upper classes and each class is very well represented. Although the club has had a late start this year, we will be ready to begin work the first of next term with a tiourish. Plans are already afoot for a reception for the freshmen, to be given jointly with the boy's High Club. A Retrospect of the Hi-Y Club RETRCJSPECT of the year will be a fitting contribution of the High School Club to the Annual at this time. b P XYe started our year immediately after the opening of school last September with the following officers: it Lyman Aiken ..,. ...,........ p resident .Xlan Rowley ....... .......... s ecretary I If-lmer Olson ..............................,................. treasurer The Club has not had, until the last election of ofiicers, a vice- president. It has decided, however, that such an officer is important to the welfare of the organization and so, at the annual election, which was held in April, Stanley Turnquist was chosen as our vice-president for next year. The past year has proven a great success in many ways. 89 Shortly after we opened our meetings, the basket-ball season had arrived and the teams representing Hutchinson, Lafayette, Wiarren, Hamburg and Dunkirk, attended our suppers and meetings as guests of the Hi-Y Club. The debate team of Lockport was also entertained. These occasions were enjoyed by all present. ln addition to the regular business, which of necessity must be trans- acted at each meeting, our president furnished very interesting pro- grams in the way of short talks by prominent business men of the city. Among those who have talked are: Mayor Carlson, Dr. Geo. Cottis, Mr. Arthur Kettle and Mr. F.. Snell Hall. Lt. Bryson, formerly the boy's work director of the Y. M. C. A., has also appeared on our pro- gram. Lt. Bryson left the Y. M. C. A. several months ago for service with Uncle Sam overseas and his experiences proved very interesting to members of the club. Leon Kofod, who was the clubys first president and who joined the colors as a marine, has also told us of his ex- periences. Perhaps the greatest event, socially, which the club was responsible for in the past year, was the concert in Norden Hall by the Colgate Glee and Mandolin Clubs. XYQ were given hearty support and co- operation from the girlls club in bringing these Clubs to Jamestown and a great deal of the credit goes to them for the success of the affair. A very fine program was submitted, one of the numbers being the appearance of a prestidigitator. His tricks were received with hearty applause by the audience. The meeting of Friday, May 16th, was held at the Y. XY. C. A. in conjunction with the girlls club. The meeting proved a great suc- cess and several important matters were discussed. The clubs decided to hold a Faculty reception in the near future, also a reception for the Class of l923 next fall. i There probably will not be more than two or three more meet- ings ofthe Club before next fall. XN'ith two years of success to look back upon, however, we are looking forward to a great year, starting next fall. In closing this article, we extend our hearty congratulations to the girl's club and wish them a great success next year. Floyd A. Davison, '20. 90 ' -. 414: - ' 5515 SED I F Alas ! Oh!
