YVe are happy liecause we have reached another milestone in life. YYc have come to the end of our high school labors. We are sad because we arc soon to part, and go forth into the world to tight its battles. Let me express the hoj e that each one in this graduating class will always he found lighting on the side of right. To our friends who are here tonight I wish to say that you arc welcome. We are glad to have you come and share the pleasures of this occasion with us. Wc recognize you not only as our friends, but also as friends of education. To you classmates who have shared with me the pleasure and toils of the recent past, I wish to say that our association together has l een. and will always continue to lx , one of the happiest periods of my life. May 1 express the hope that the part we play in life will bring to each of us the same measure of happiness? True happiness comes in duty well performed. It was Tennyson who said: “Great deeds never die. They, like the sun and moon, renew their light forever, blessing those that look upon them.” To the Faculty, let me say that you have been not only our instructors but more. You have lxen our lx som friends. You have been not merely friends, but real friends. It isn't hard to find the kind of friend we meet each day. Who loves us in the sunshine, but With the clouds, will drift away. But good old-fashioned friends. Who share your woes and pleasures too. Are very rare, but that’s the kind Of friends we've always found in vou.” Wii.i.iam Shields, President Class '29. Thirty-six jEFF-CO-Bil —1929 Class History In the greenest of our valleys. By students tenanted, Once a fair and stately high school JelT-Co-Hi school—reared its head. In the King learning’s dominion It stood there; Never student had opportunity In high school half so fair. In the fall of 1925, a crowd of very frightened but very excited boys and girl . climbed the steps of Jefferson County High School. “Rats! the dignified, all-wise (in their own opinion) Sophomores called us: the whole of that eventful first year was spent in learning to bear the taunts of Sophisticated Sophomores, lolly Juniors, and Silly Seniors. But for the friendship and loving encouragement of our long-suffering teachers, we should have perished. We had no more than accustomed ourselves to such appellations as Rat”. “Freshie”, and Greenhorn”, when we found that the year was over, and lo! we were Sophomores. )f course we tried to seem as sophisticated as the Sophomores of the year before, but deep in our hearts for Sophomores do have hearts, all evidence to the contrary notwithstanding) we were still a little frightened. So we played pranks not only on the Frightened Freshmen, but also on everybody whom we dared, merely to prove our superiority. During the year, we did prove that Sophomores are superior in one particular, for Lyda Bell Dyal, our candidate, was elected the Prettiest Girl for Hoo's Hoo. ()ur Junior year was. as is traditional, a jolly one. As originators of and broadcasters from station J-C-H-S. we achieved distinction—for at least one chapel period. Our Junior play was Esmeralda.” and with Aleen Culbreath and I. B. Hank ford as heroine and hero, it was a splendid success. Now those Frightened Freshmen. Superior Sophomores and Jolly Juniors stand before you. no longer as such, but (supposedly) very wise and dignified. We are not the largest class to be graduated from our Alma Mater, but we boast, “Not quantity, but quality.” Our hope is that, as we have reaped joys in the four years sj ent here, we have sown the seeds of love in the hearts of our friends and teachers. Roberta Robison, Class Historian. ’29. Thirty.seven Jeff-co-hi—1929 Class Oration Follow Students, Faculty. Ladies and Gentlemen: This is. and will lie, a red-letter day in our lives: it is one of those high points of human accomplishment. To most of 11s it is the highest achievement of our lives. As we pause on the threshold of life, let us think for a moment. First, we are glad that we are finishing our high school life, yet we are sad at leaving Jefferson. Vet we cannot stay here and still accomplish those things which were planned for us by our Creator. YVe love old Jefferson. Why? Because we have invested part of our lives here. We have endeavored to act as men should act. We hope we have won the respect and admiration and the love of our fellow students and of our teachers. Let us here highly resolve that we will never do anything of which our Alma Mater would lie ashamed. We can hardly realize that we are soon to part never to l e together again. 'I'he thought makes us sad. But part we must, for some of us will continue our education in institutions of higher learning, while others will enter the world’s vineyard to do their chosen work. We maj not have realized it but, all our lives, we have been trying to make a choice. As we stand at the Commencement of the greater portion of our lives, much depends upon the choice we make. Oxenham has expressed it thus: “To every man there openeth A way. and ways, and a way, And the High Soul climbs the High Way, And the Low Soul gropes the Low; And in between, on the misty flats. The rest drift to and fro. But to every man there openeth A High Way and a Low, And every man decidcth The way his soul shall go.” M. D. Six hack. Jr., Class Orator. '29. Thirty-right f| JEFF-CQ-H1-� 929 || Class Prophecy 1 sat thinking. Why should I Ik. picked to forecast the future of the Class of ’29, when there are so many other brilliant minds in it who could do much better than I ? My brain became very tired of this unusual exertion, so I fell asleep and dreamed. 1 found myself in a strange city of stranger people. At a distance there seemed to Ik queer growths on every shoulder. On closer investigation, I found that each person was carrying a “chip on the shoulder.” Fights were common. Very appropriately, the entrance gateway of this place lx re the name “Pugnacity. James Roebuck, who carried the biggest chip of all. was. I found, that day promoting a tight between Guy Smith and Louie Andrews, famous pugilists. The Mayor of this chip-on-the-shoulder” city. Felix Dismuke, was growling about everything in general and nothing in particular, while his wife. N’ora Arwood Dismuke. was telling him where to get oflf. I lK gan to wonder how I was ever going to get out of that place with my skin whole, when suddenly the scenes changed. My dreams next took me to Saga-City. a metropolis totally unknown to me and to most of mv classmates. 1 found Dan Hunter, its leading citizen, patiently explaining the Einstein Theory to an eager community class. Among these devotees of learning were Robert Bagley, Harry Pattillo, Inez Ford, Waneda Scott and Frank White. Each of them expressed the opinion that there wasn’t a word of truth in it and proceeded to air his own theories on the subject. My ears were ringing their long words, when I spied Domesti-City. A quieter, more peaceful vale ne’er has it been my lot to meet. A dear little rose-covered cottage attracted my attention. Imagine my surprise when I recognized Everett Trimble and Mamie Scaggs as the happy couple strolling along the flowery-paths. Farther down the street a happy crowd of children were bidding their teacher good-bye. She was none other than Winnie Moore. I rambled on. The next stop was Scar-Citv.” It presented a direct contrast to the last station. I walked down a street marked Bandage Boulevard, and found that Valda Rylant had gone Lucy Stone one better. Her husband did not dare even to call his name his own. He was then Julius Platt Rylant. All along this street huslxands enjoyed ( ?) similar scarcity of freedom. Bobbie Hurst was leading his wife’s little poodle. The year before. Annie I .aurie Merritt had dragged him to the altar. later conversation with her led me to visit the best lighted city in the world. Publi-City.” All the streets and half the citizens were lit-up.” Richard Bryson held the center of the stage with his beautiful tenor voice. Roland Carlson accompanied him with the Jew’s harp. Their motto was Quantity and not Quality. I dreamed next of trials and tribulations in Dupli-City. I was s � on hopelessly lost in its maze of streets, for everyone insisted on giving conflicting directions. Wishing to get out of that place, I asked J. B. Lankford the way to the railroad station. Instead, he gave me his residence, the Dupli-City Home for the Feeble-Minded. The superintendent, Horace Abney, detained me as a suspicious character. I recognized people as several of my classmates among the inmates: Louise Williams, who had lK en disappointed in love: Roberta Robison, who had a mental twist from trying to decipher a recommendation Mr. Baird Thirtynmf JEFF-CO-HI —1929 gave her; Earl Brown, mentally blank from wondering where the barometer’s “tick had gone: Fletcher McAnally. who had gone dippy on the question, “Docs a hen sit or set? ; and Evelyn Tarplev, who had worried herself “cuckoo trying to use the holes in doughnuts for stuffing macaroni. 1 escaped in a nurse’s uniform lent me by the head nurse, Maude Pearl Hover. The next visit was to the babbling town of “Loqua-City. I and the husl ands of the place were the audience. I went into a shop advertising loud speakers. In there I found Opal Johnson and Frances Elam. I “tuned in” with a radio and distinguished Howard Nelson’s loud voice from the static. The announcer. Brice Head, said he was singing. “1 W ish 1 W ere Single Again. The next number, announced as a bed-time story by I-a nee Tate, was drowned out when two more loud speakers, Violet Panneli and Vondlec Pannell. joined the aforementioned. Another jaunt brought me to a wide place in the road. “Auda-City,” peopled entirely by the ex-husbands of the Peggy Joyce of our Class, Christina Rylant. Among the discarded men were Perry Bates, William Shields, Jesse Bryant. Edmund Greer and James Haigler. They boastfully referred to themselves as “Christina’s Spice. Essie Fowler, Thrace Hawkins and Merle Hill were named as co-respondents in the divorces. Another wink and I was in “Pertina-City.’’ On Hope Street. I saw Pauline Howard, Ora Reese, Julia Robbins, Marv Freeman Williams, and Hstelle Choate living in single-blessedness (?) but till struggling. “Mcnda-City” next claimed me. Its chief distinction was that of being the home of Kll ert Lawless and Harry Parker, then, as now, famed as mutilators of the truth. They were ably abetted in this by their secretaries, I -ois Thomason and Ruby Walden. I could not skip “Atro-City.” the home of M. D. Sinback, widely acclaimed winner of the male beauty contest. The judges of this contest were Ltcile Friday. Alameda Bellah, Louise Bellah, Lucy Ramsden, and Vivian Burdette, society leaders of the city. The last lap. or probably it should he nap, of my dream dropped me into a '•ecluded spot, “Simpli-City. The founders were heiresses who had tired of servants, limousines, and so forth, and had come here to lead the simple life. Imagine my surprise when I recognized Frances Thompson, Allie Harrell. Avo-line Durham, Leila Mae Griffith and Helen Goforth. I awoke. My dreams were at an end; so was my story as Prophet of Class of '29. Earl Sligh. Forty Jeff-co-hi—1929 Class Statistics Should you ask me from whence these reverberating statistics came, with their frequent repetitions, I should answer, “From the lips of stately Seniors, from hooks, magazines, grad books, and particularly from Mr. Webster’s noted masterpiece, the Dictionary.” In the matter of height. I dare say, no other class is the equivalent of ours. If we were placed one on the other in perpendicular order, the top one (it a boy) could court Miss Elcctra on the Alabama Power Building. The next important thing is weight. After much hard work, I found that the combined weight of the class would be thirteen thousand and eleven pounds and seven ounces, not including Annie Laurie Merritt. If her weight were added, it would be equivalent to the weight of the Twentieth Century Limited. Should you. seeking further, ask the ages of these youths and maidens. I should answer. “The girls’ ages combined would l e equal to the number of bricks in Jefferson County High School, and that of the Ixiys would ! e equal to the number of cops hired and fired by our illustrious Chief of Police. (This does not include the teachers’ ages, which, if combined with those of the class, would make the total equal to the number of half-hour sentences sent to the office for the Seniors.) I also found that the amount of chewing gum chewed by the Senior Class, if put together, would be enough to build a rubber fence around our Alma Mater. After spending many weary hours (in Chapel and otherwise) listening to the speeches made by M. D. Sinback and Roberta Robison. I finally concluded that they could throw more hot air in ten minutes than Dr. B. U. L. Conner and I om Heflin could throw in ten years. After two months of observing and taking measurements of the Seniors’ feet. I found that the amount in inches would be equal to the number of square miles in the state of Texas. This includes those of Elbert Lawless, who has “Suitcase” Simpson beat by two country blocks. Another thing of importance is our walking. By careful scrutiny, I found that in four years we have been here, we have worn the cement steps down one-fourth of an inch: or if all the walking done by the class could Ik? done by one person, he would walk around the world twice. 1 found that we had some of the best material in the history of Jeff-Co-Mi. yet some of the members are as blank as the courthouse canyon. I he Seniors have been enough trouble to drive twenty-five teachers insane, much less three. The President requested me. as Statistician, to find out Mr. Oden s idea in wearing glasses. After begging, threatening and pleading for nearly the whole season. I have finally wrested it from him. I Ie wishes to see some good in us Seniors. I laving given as inaccurately, and as inconciselv as possible, the exact dimensions. weight, et cetera, of the Class of '29, I have no doubt you will agree this is one of the best statistical reports in the history of our Alma Mater. Harry Parker, Statistician. '20. Ft'ttyonf EFF-CO-HI 1929 %% P Last Will and Testament We, the members of the Senior Class of Nineteen Hundred Twenty-nine, Jefferson County High School, being of full age and supposed to be in a sane state of mind, realize the happy days and fond memories we have enjoyed at this institution will soon l e things of the past and will Ik remembered only by “grad” hooks and annuals. Some of the outstanding experiences and achievements of these four years need no reminder, however, because they will Ik engraved on our minds forever as a recognition of four years well sjK nt. We also realize that the gifts we are to submit to our lma Mater and those who are to follow in the steps we have left on the sands of time cannot be too great. We feel ourselves competent of disposing of our real and personal property and will endeavor to present it where it is most needed. We do hereby assume all forms of legal formality and make our Last Will and Testament for the benefit of the following: To our Supreme Father above we offer thanks for leading us in the straight and narrow way. May lie continue to lead us. To the Class of ’30, to whom we owe much, we leave our pep” and our willingness to every one and our ability to take the correct attitude on every question that arises. To the Class of ’31, the Sophomores, the class of flappers and sheiks, may they always be happy and keep excitement in the sc!uk� I as they have in the past. To the Rats, a bottle of horse-feathers to spur them on to Seniorland and even farther into college. To the Cops, the wish that they may be small in number and also in size. To the bus drivers, the right to pass all boulevard signs without stopping. To the individual members of the faculty we bestow the following: To Mr. Baird, an aeroplane all his own like the one he enjoyed on his trip to Cleveland. To Coach Arnold, our gratitude and respect for developing a winning football team at J. C. II. S. To Miss Carder, our hopes that her life may l e a happy one: and when she's married we hope she will not, by a force of habit, keep books on her husband's payroll.

To Miss Robison, a biology lab. equipped with new grasshoppers, snakes, alligators and other desirable animals. To Mrs. Sandberg, the privilege to retire and get a pension for her untiring efforts since she has been at Jefferson. To Mr. Stevens, a new supply of lumber for the Manual Training classes. To Miss Swift, a new Chevrolet each year. To Miss Walston, a writing and talking machine to help her. They would be the only thing that would have a chance. To Miss Whaley, the right to teach the “Rats” in Algebra to B� and By's. To the janitor, plenty of coal that will make fires to warm the hearts of the teachers. To the maids, thanks for clean rooms and corridors.

The days so fraught with h«|ie and cheer Forever, soon must pass. Into the vast eternity Of memory’s treasured store. These years of many hopes and joys Will come again no more. To-morrow’s hopes are all like phantoms, Moving just lieyond our feet With many dreams of joys and sorrows In the life that we must meet. Our paths will not Ik- strewn always With joys and roses bright. But let us still keep pressing on. 'Till dawns a beam of light. A time when we shall reach the goal. On which our hearts are set. When all the clouds have rolled away. And all our pleasures met. The days that now arc passing swiftly With their hopes and joys and fears. Will soon Ik buried in the shadows Of the sepulchers of years. But. may we remember ever. For the sake of Auld I-ang Syne, Our happy days together. In the Class of Twenty-nine.

Earl Goofy” Johnson Karl came to Jefferson from another school this year, to play his first football. Kike a veteran, he played his wing position and could always lx? counted on to bring down the opposing end runner. Mis coming back to Jefferson next year is anticipated with pleasure. Sherman A7lo” Nelson Sherman came through the season in great form to help old Jefferson win many a football game that seemed gone to the opponents, lie played the position of guard and played it well. No l� cttcr player than Nclo” could have been selected as Alternate Captain of next year's squad. Mr. Thomas M. Arnold Coach ami Physical Director Good followers must have good leaders. Although our splendid team has much native ability, it could not have been half so tine had it not been for the indefatigable energy of our coach expended in moulding the material into a first-class team. Sijly-Kve Jeff-c© hh==1929 P Das Snake Oil IIt'XTKR Dan was one of the l cst quarterbacks in the State, proving this contention by his playing of heads-up football in every game. He was lie best punter on the team. 1 cing expert also at running ami passing. Mis berth will be open to other held generals next year. Ernest Rat Smith Ernest proved that he was the man to he Captain of the past year's team by the way he kept his head in the game and by his lighting spirit. We are very fortunate in having him return to us next year. Evirett Chuckle Trimble Though Everett was a substitute, while he was in the game he played with that “do-or die spirit. William Bill Morrow William did not play in every game, either, but he was one of the most dependable and loyal subs. We expect him to come through with living colors next year.

YVe regret that we will lose Dizzy” by graduation. Prkston Pret Weed Although Preston did not see service in every game, he was one of our most dependable subs, and while in the game, could always be expected to do his part. We are expecting great things of 'Tret next year. 1-rank Punty” Emerson “Puncy will he remembered by his performances in the Simpson game. He was always fast to get through the hole in the foeman’s line. We arc glad to have him as another of our All-City team men. Sisty-iet en Jeff=co� hi 1929 Louie Dirty S'cck Andrews “Dirty Neck” was our triple-threat man. He could hold down his tackle jwnsition. play on etui and catch passes—not to mention backing up the line in great style. His place will be hard to HI! next year. Andrews was selected on the All-City team. Guy Bruno Smith A more worthy player could not have been picked than Guy to be captain of next year's team. He could always be counted upon to get his man and open up a hole in the opposing line. Elbert “Xigger Lawless Although this was Nigger's first year to play football, he held down his guard position like a veteran. Julius Jrze Platt Jew was the midget of our team. Although he did not see service in every game, he played hard, clean football throughout the season. Small of stature though he is. his speed and shiftiness will make his place hard to till next year. Sixly+'tght jEFF-CO-m I929 Fred Friday Glover “Friday was certainly my man”—our outstanding linesman, noted for his ability to break through the opposing line and to smash up plays. We are glad to have “Friday” back with us next year. Hubert ’Towtmy Thomason “Tommy” came back to school this year with a determination to come through and do something. He played the end position much after the style of the great “YY'u” Winslctt. He will he back with us next year, and wc expect much of our All-City star. Charles Quack Drake Charles is another of our back field who will return next year. He was a good man at the offense and on the defense, lighting always for Jefferson to the final whistle.

Jeff-co-hi—1929 M Football ()ur Wildcats started the season with a determination to win every game they played. Giving Mortimer Jordan the first trial, our boys started the game off with a touchdown and continued to hold their rivals down until the final whistle blew. 'I’he entire team was outstanding in the game which proved t to a victory for the Wildcats to the tune of 12 t« 0. The next week. Altoona journeyed down to meet the Wildcats on Jefferson’s own stamping ground. Jefferson went on the field with an indomitable spirit and fought a hard, clean game from start to finish. The game ended with a large score in favor of the Wildcats—51 to 0. This game seemed more like a track meet than anything else. The Fairfield game came next on the Wildcats' menu. Our boys thought thev,j-had an easy game, and let the Fairfield toys make the initial touchdown. Fairfield held Jefferson down until the last few minutes of the game, when the Wildcats decided to show what they could do. They scored a touchdown. The offensive playing of I Matt, Lawless and Andrews featured this game, which was a 6 to 6 tie. The Wildcats next met Jones Valley at Legion Field on the following Thursday night. Although our I toys had never played at night, the night air seemed to help them—or else they wanted to show Jones Valley who we were, so they trimmed Jones Valley for a 37 to 6 victory. The next week-end the Wildcats paid Bessemer a friendly call. After Jefferson had made a few runs, they knew that they had met a stone wall. Bessemer held the Wildcats the remainder of the game. Although the losers, we fought with the “never-say-die” spirit which is our heritage. Bessemer 13. Jefferson ( . The encounter with Simpson at M unger Field was our next course. During the first quarter, there was no considerable yardage gained by either side. By continually plunging the line, the Wildcats were able to score a touchdown with a goal to match. Jefferson played splendidly. The offensive game of Messrs. Emerson and Thompson featured Jefferson’s 7 to 6 victory over Simpson. The Wildcats visited Anniston on the following Friday. Our toys enjoyed the day with their rivals and were treated with a very friendly attitude by them. The strength of both the teams was discussed during the entire day. At two o’clock, our boys went on the field with the spirit of Jefferson behind them. A splendid kick-off hy Emerson and good playing by the rest of the team were responsible for the first touchdown. This seemed to upset the Anniston Tigers and Jefferson was able to hold them down for the rest of the game. A 19 to 0 victory for Jefferson. Huevtown’s visit to Jefferson’s home grounds was not so profitable for the former. The playing of a jam-up game from start to finish gave Jefferson margin enough to make possible the breaking-in of a good many of the substitutes, who held up Jefferson's end of the game for a 27 to 0 win. This concluded Jefferson’s season, our team having run up a total of 166 j oints to our opponents’ 37. Coach Arnold has l cen faithful and diligent as our mentor, and to him we attribute much of the credit for our heartening successes on the fields of Little.

Coach Arnold had only four letter men returning, namely, an outfielder, a pitcher, a second and a third basemen. Coach recruited more material and drilled them each afternoon until, l y the time of the first game, they were working smoothly. Jefferson leasts the hardest slugging team and one of the best fielding teams in the State. The team went through the season with only one loss, which record was better than that of any other nine in the County. Jefferson won the championship of its division, trounced West Jefferson in the semi-finals, and marched on to victory and the County championship by winning from Huevtown. The team is the claimant of the mythical State championship. Frank Emerson. 30.

Programs on health, world felowship, choosing a life work, and a variety of other subjects— in addition to parties and fun—made the half hour after school each Wednesday interesting and enjoyable. We dressed dolls for the Community Toy Shop at Christmas. We decorated the room between the sewing and cooking rooms for a council-room, where we hold our cabinet and committee meetings. A chapel program, in which we presented the who. what, and why of Girl Reserves, a Valentine party—when we were hostesses to the Wildcat Club—were events of interest to students not so fortunate as to lie members of the Club. I bus we have spent the year in endeavoring to “Sail On” in developing our bodies, minds and spirits into attractive, well-rounded personalities. Roberta Robison, ’29. Arnica Club The Arnica Club was organized in September with many of its old members back and many new ones to add to its roll. W e were very fortunate in securing our former advisers. Mrs. Lucy Sandberg and Miss I ranees Finley, who have helped us in every possible way to make our Club one of the bigger and finer societies. Some of the many interesting programs which were rendered were “The Meaning of Arnica, “Know Your Club,” “Our National Parks.” and “Ktiquette.” An interesting program was also given before the entire student body in chapel on Thanksgiving. A very successful club year has been brought to a close with the election of new officers for the next session. Janie I oftis. 30.

Our club has had a large membership from the very first We have had many interesting programs: everyone seems to take pride in the way he does his work and co-operates with everyone else. No one could have shown more interest in the club than that displayed by Mr. Oden and Coach Arnold, our Faculty Advisers, and we sincerely appreciate all they have done toward making the club better in every way. We do not l elieve there is a better club in school than the Wildcat Club, and we arc looking forward to a more successful club next year. Hubert Thomason. ’30. Tutwiler Club OUR DREAM SHIP When the year was new. our hearts were thrilled With untold mysteries within ; We built air-castles; our thoughts were filled With deeds we would do and honors win. Some dreams faded—as dreams will do When love of dreaming is o’er— But one remained quite staunch and true. Our dream ship—Tutwiler. We thrilled when our dream ship left us, Sailing for otir treasures at sea. A surge of happiness swayed us As we thought of the membcrs-to-be. And now we exult and thrill anew. Our dream ship is close at hand: Twill soon he here at the end of the year. It has found our Tutwiler I-and.

We realize that we have fallen quite short of our motto, but we U-lieve with Lowell that, ‘Wot failure but low aim is crime. The club feels deeply indebted to its Club Advisers, Miss Jones and Mr. Stevens, for the advice and help they have given us throughout the year. Dramatic Club Never has the Dramatic Club enjoyed a more profitable year than this just concluded. Nineteen of the old members returned in the fall, and the membership has since increased to forty-three. 'Hie old members are enthusiastic in their efforts in behalf of the club, and the new members are quite as active. Our new stage equipment in the club room has been a valuable asset in the splendid work of the year. The members displayed their talent in the programs presented in the Auditorium, with the other clubs as guests. The club's annual play, “Yes, Yes. Go On,” which was presented in February, was one of the l est ever staged at Jefferson. The Dramatic Club now shows possibilities of greater development than any of the many clubs at Jeff-Co-IIi. Ellen Parker, ’30. Glee Clubs The Girls’ Glee Club began its work this year in September, having an unusually large membership. We suffered a great loss in the death of our beloved President, Annie Alvice Burton, who was most faithful in her duties as President of the Chorus Club. With the help of our adviser, Miss Montgomery, both toys and girls’ glee clubs have presented many splendid programs in chapel. We are particularly proud of our Boys’ Glee Club, for this is the first organization of its kind that our school has ever had. Members of our club often appear in quartets and solos, and they are sometimes combined to make a mixed chorus. .VtMff v-jr-.rn Janie I .orris. ’30.

The club presented its annual Christmas program, and has contributed many other interesting programs during the year, its members appearing in chapel for public performances. The club has been sponsored by Miss Montgomery. All members have taken part in trying to make the organization a worthwhile endeavor.

In a beautifully upholstered chair sat the queen. 1 sat beside her. for I was her right-hand man. I was dressed in military uniform, with crosses, medals and insignia on the coat. I was just an American girl, and 1 don't know for what reason I was in such a position, but there I was. The visiting king was reclining on a divan at the far end of the room, a bodyguard around him. Suddenly one of his men walked over to the queen, saluted, and laying the king’s sword and a dollar hill on her lap. said. “The king is dead!” We sat gazing in stupefaction at the king, when suddenly he sat up. This was my signal and I made a dash for a sword and a United States Police cap which I had noticed hanging on the wall, and fled through the rear door. Suddenly I realized that someone was chasing me; his heavy boots were clumping nearer and nearer! I ran out of the kitchen door and someone snatched my cloak ! My pursuer seemed to Ik? gaining, but I took heart and led him a merry chase. Over walls, through hedges and gates, jumping brooks and bushes, we fled, and 1 was soon panting for breath. I was no longer the queen’s right-hand man, but only an American girl, dressed in strange clothes—and wishing I could run home to my mother. Suddenly a wall appeared—a blank wall, no chance to get through! But, yes! There was a gate—I ran to it. but alas! I found it locked! The footsteps sounded nearer and nearer—clump! clump! It seemed that each step must send my heart higher in my throat. I shook the gate, but it held fast, lust as the footsteps sounded right l ehind me. 1 gave the gate one more despairing shake—and the dream ended ! Louise Bella h, 29. FOOTBALL ( The Modern Tournament ) Back in the days of King Arthur. The tournament was the game. In which all brave knights rode To fight for honors and fame. Tot lay the game is different But the spirit remains the same. Today football takes the place ()f the tournaments of old. And the knights who. to defend their castle. Rode forth, brave and bold, Were cheered no more than our knights of gridiron Who defend our dear Blue and Gold. Marvin Shaw, '31. One [fun,Ire.I Seven EFF-CO-HI 1929 NATURE’S MIRACLE A moonlight night. Pale Luna casts her silvery glow over the blue of the lake. The soft, silvery moonbeams filter through the lacy firs, and in the distance the snow-capped mountain tops are to be seen over the dark line of foliage. Dame Nature has not failed to till in every detail of the charming tableau. Hie dark shadows of the firs reflected in the lake add to the mystic spirit of beauty. One mav see a winding trail leading down the mountain side where lonesome wolves have made their way into the vast forests below. The beauty of the night is expressed in every scene. The calm of the lake, the cool, invigorating air! The mountains and forests and the moonlight that curtains this charming miracle of Nature! Angie Mae Micks. ’29. THE MEANING OF HOME” Many sweet definitions of home have been written, among which are “A World of Care Shut Out. a World of Love Shut In”; The Palace Where Mother Reigns Oueen ; “Home Is Where the Heart Is”; “Home Is the Heart's Kingdom. H-O-U-S-E does not always spell Home. Bruce Barton says, The home is a place of peace; a place where the soul is restored; where love and sympathy conquer care. The cave-man who first piled stones together into a rude hut did it to shelter his most precious possession, the sacred fire. There is a sacred fire that burns in every real home; an altar to rest fulness and forbearance and love. The man who can claim that altar, whether the shelter built about it Ik a mansion or only a single room, he it is who owns his own home. Upon entering some houses, we feel only a lofty sense of splendor, a rich but cold splendor; in others, often very humble, we are met and surrounded by an atmosphere of sweet content, of love one for another—the very air which embodies Home. No house can lie a home unless love lights the windows and shines on the hearth. Men say, ”1 will build me a home,” and then build only a house, a thing of brick and mortar, of lumber and nails, of lath and plaster, and leave out of their plans the essentials fur a home. Home’s not merely four square walls, Tho with pictures hung, and gilded; Home is where Affection calls. Home is where the Heart hath builded. Home! Go watch the faithful dove Sailing 'neath the Heavens above us! 1 lome is where there’s one to love— Home is where there’s one who loves us! Home, Home! Sweet, sweet Home! Home, sweet, sweet Home! There’s no place like Home! Oh! There’s no place like HOME! Alameda Bellah, 29. One Hundred Eight H jEFF°CO°t!I —1929 Our Constitution On Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, old State House, totter known as Independence Hall, still stands. This house has a most significant history. It was here that the Declaration of Independence was signed, and here, almost a century and a halt ago, the memtors of the Constitutional Convention met to frame a new plan of government for the United States of America. Theirs was no simple task. Since they had so recently engaged in a desperate struggle for freedom from one monarchy, they did not wish to merely set up another, which might also, in time, grow tyrannical. ()n the other hand, the chaos which had held sway under the Articles of Confederation, the failure of a Congress impotent because mistrusted, and the difficulty which attended their efforts to establish diplomatic relations with countries which looked askance at a government which, while not governing tost, certainly governed least of anv civilized country, pointed all too plainly to the fact that the time had come when there must he a permanent, centralized authoritative government: one which could not only make, hut also enforce laws, one which could stabilize business, and which could represent it citizens at the capitals of other governments; last, but by no means least, in order that this government should not degenerate into an oligarchy or into anarchy, there must to a national judiciary. 'This was the task of Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Franklin. This was. also, an opportunity, the like of which no group of men had ever had before. They were qualified by Colonial c. ] erieiice t � work out a practical plan of government. Such scholars as Madison and Wilson were able to present the teachings of the political history of all the ages. Washington and Franklin, of the more conservative group, acted as steadying forces, and were able to prevent too rash or too radical steps. Hamilton, one of the most profound thinkers, was but thirty years old. With no tradition to hamper them, hut with no precedent to guide them, these men set to work. Four months later thirty-nine members of the Convention signed the new Constitution; to the world was presented a plan by which the government was at once authoritative and liberty-giving; for the first time power was divided to-tween two systems of government—state and national—so wisely that they supplemented. rather than hindered, each other. Now the government not only gave liberty, hut also guaranteed that this liberty should not to infringed upon by either an individual or the state. The press was to be independent of the government. There was to to no state church. A national judiciary, which interpreted the laws made by the legislative branch and enforced by the executive branch, completed the new system of checks and balances. Most glorious of all, the people. In-choosing their representatives, were to to the real rulers. These were the principles embodied in that grand new instrument of government. the Constitution. It was truly, as Lincoln said, “conceived in litorty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created free and equal. We stand in awe at the wisdom of men who planned an instrument of government so great that only nineteen amendments have toen necessary during the century and a half through which it has lived. Happy indeed are we to live under a government “so conceived and so dedicated.” One Hundred Xine JEFF-CO-HI 1929 But hold! Let us not forget that liberty without re.sjjonsibility becomes license. If, as former Solicitor-!ieneral James M. Beck says, ... all we have and hold most dear is wrapped up in the Constitution ’ and. if it were swept away the safeguards of all our liberties would be destroyed, surely such freedom must involve responsibility. Think with me of this responsibility. First, there is the freedom of speech and of the press. This is most vital in a democracy. Unless the people are free to criticize their government, its faults cannot lie corrected. Our resjionsibility here lies in the fact that we must not only criticize, but also advocate such reforms as will make for ‘a more perfect union.’ Then there is the freedom from search without warrant. This is a peculiarly dangerous one. and great care should lie exercised lest this liberty be abused. The right which should he held most sacred of all is our right to a voice in the government. This is the foundation upon which the whole structure of democracy is built. Unless we use our right to vote, and use it intelligently, we should be to blame if our government should degenerate into a bureaucracy, or into a government controlled by those who have their own personal aggrandizement, rather than the greatest good for the greatest number, as their aim. Perhaps we could best sum up our duty toward the Constitution by saying that, as it was transmitted to us. whole and unblemished, by our forefathers, so must we preserve, protect, and defend it tor our jxisterity. Oh. America! Surely when the Creator endowed you with mountains of minerals and fertile plains. He meant for you to be a leader among the nations. Many nations have imitated your form of government, and are learning slowly, perhaps, but surely, the art of self-government. Grave is your responsibility, but grand your opportunity. Do not fail, America. “Thou. too. sail on. O Ship of State. Sail on. O Union, strong and great. Humanity, with all its fears. With all the hopes of future years. Is hanging breathless on thv fate. W e know what Master laid thy keel. What Workmen wrought thy ribs of steel. What anvils rang, what hammers lieat. In what a forge and what a heat Were shaped the anchor of thy hope. Fear not each sudden sound and shock; ’Tis but the wave, and not the rock, ’Tis but the flapping of the sail. And not a rent made bv the gale. In spite of rock and tempests roar. In spite of false lights on the shore. Sail on, nor fear to breast the sea. Our hearts, our hopes, are all with thee. Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, Our faith, triumphant o’er our fears. Are all with thee—are all with thee. —-Longfellow. Roberta Robison, 29. Winner in hatorical Contest.
