Four years ago last September, a crowd of very green and very wide-eyed freshmen invaded the halls of K. H, S. in pursuit-or at least so we suppose-of the fruit of knowledge. Risen to the new dignity of high school students, they at first believed their importance second to none. But as time went on, Huniility, child of Vlfisdom, entered their hearts, and the present senior class, while presumably the most learned, is the least complacent in the school. As sophomores and juniors they drifted along, Working a little, playing a little, and learning to love the school more and more. Some of them, even then, gave promise of' talent along various lines, but it is as seniors that these once careless and frivolous freshmen have proved their true spirit and worth. Un Tuesday, September twenty-sixth, the seniors gathered in Hall B to organize. Donald Mac Fadden was chosen president, and the other officers duly elected were: Agatha Flick, vice-president, Catherine Mc- Commons, secretary, and Fred Anderson, treasurer. Soon after organizing, the seniors began to plan for their last, yet happiest year in Kingston High. Accordingly, on the eleventh ot' November, they gave their opening dance, which they enjoyed with all the zest of youth in spite of their newly acquired gravity. The Rutgers College Music Club gave an excellent concert in the auditorium on December twenty-ninth, under the auspices of the class. Their program was well balanced and tl1e numbers exceptionally well rendered. Besides our gratification over the character of the numbers, we feel justly proud of the fruitful results ot' our efforts to make this concert a profitable undertaking. Owing to the resignation of Miss Carter in the early part of Feb- ruary, the none too popular plan of requiring each senior to speak in Assembly, was suddenly interrupted, but the consternation of some of our number over being deprived of the opportunity to shine upon lfllt? rostrum was S0011 relieved, for Mr. Byer was secured to carry on this work and also to coach the senior play, Beau I?run2mPI. The busy seniors found time for yet another dance in April. This was held on Friday, the thirteenth, a date supposedly unlucky, but from the glowing reports of those present, the old superstition will have to be reversed. May, the eighteenth, was truly a spring festival, a good whole holiday. In the morning, according to custom, the senior class with appropriate and htting ceremony, crowned one of their number, Elsie Fuchsle, Queen of May, and arranged other appropriate exercises. The afternoon, too, was a time of gaiety, for the class gave a tea dance in the gyinnasium, which was well attended, and which niet with the cus- tomary success of the undertaking' of this energetic class. But the fun did not end there. ln the evening, as a fitting- end to a perfect day and after much hard work and practicing' by the east and coaches, the senior play, Beau BI IH'HHll'I, was given before a gratifyingly large audi- ence of appreciative friends. As time passes and the close of the terni draws near when the class of 1923 will leave the halls of K. H. S. never again to return as students, we look back and think of the many, many, happy days we have had during' the four years past. And it is with niingled feelings of sadness and anticipation that we go out into the world. E' ' EI SENIOR CLASS 1923 ooo OFFICERS : President ..................

There is awake-on the him bounding into El E Commencement. This year's Commencement will be a novel one. It is intended to depart from the old time custom, with each speaker presenting a separate topic and in an effort to unify the program and thus make it more interesting, the Commencement speakers will present a semi-dramatic scene classically staged and costumed. It is true that a similar program was given by the girls two years ago, but at that time the parts were not original, as they will be this year. In the scene, Mankind, as the central figure, will offer to reward that one of the arts and sciences which has accomplished most for him, and they, each in turn, will then forward whatever claims they have for the honor of having best served mankind.

Let no act be done at haphazard nor otherwise than according to the finished rules that govern its kind. -MARcUs AURELIUS. It is more and more realized that in the busy rush of a modern school so much stress is laid upon instruction and the necessity of cov- ering a definite amount of work, that we neglect much more than we ought the finer courtesies of life and thereby give education without culture. The realization of this fact is not so very recent, but it was 11ot until the past school year that any definite plan was suggested or acted upon to better the condition. During that time, however, through the thoughtfulness of the principal and the other members of the fac- ulty, Kingston High School inaugurated a project which has rapidly be- come known in many different cities all over the country. These teachers, having carefully studied the social conditions exist- ing in the school, prepared an Outline of Courtesy by which the social community spirit might be improved. This outline is carefully studied in the English classes. The more outstanding violations of good conduct are discussed and the general principles of good behavior thus propounded are acted upon as far as possible in every day school life with appreciable results. This courtesy drive, however, has not been limited to K. H. S. Other schools which heard of the movement a11d its success asked for copies of our outline which were as a result sent to many different cities in the United States and even to some in Canada. The continued attention to this project in future years will mean the success of many other movements which are intertwined with it and which were before somewhat uselessly carried on, simply because the objectives were in themselves results. In such cases, as we all know, the best remedy lies, not in attacking the result itself, but in eliminat- ing the causes. The most important example of this kind that we have in school life is the endeavor to obtain a spirit of good sportsmanship between the different teams. The reason that we have not been more successful in this endeavor is that poor sportsmanship is the direct result of the lack of gentlemanly habits on the part of the players, even one of whom may make things unpleasant. But a respect for the other fellow's rights instilled in the minds of contestants may prevent much unpleasantness, for, as it has been well said, Politeness appears to have been invented to enable people who would naturally fall out to live together in peace. The courtesy drive tends also to help us in every day life by teach- ing us to do the right thing at the right time and to avoid embarrassing mistakes, for, in the words of Emerson, God may forgive sins, but awk- wardness has no forgiveness in Heaven or earth. People receive their impression of us generally, not from any realization of worth but from our actions. Shall we permit the possibility of some ruinous slip, a direct result of neglected manners, to limit our success? Yet many of The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 61 us are doing this very thing simply because we have not stopped to think. Now, however, since the need of courtesy and good manners has been brought to our attention, let us make ourselves acquainted with their essentials a11d master them. Nor should any be excused, for all are able to pay the price which is: knowledge of the fundamentals plus a little self-control and a reasonable regard for the amenities of life. ...U- Qj1n.. Soundness of Mind and Body. The people that we meet every day may be divided into two great classes, the athletic and the intellectual. Of course there are some who have never achieved and who never expect to achieve development along either of these lines, but they are to be pitied. In general, it will be admitted, however, that a person strives to develop himself in at least one of these particulars, but a person should not center his atten- tion wholly upon one and entirely neglect the other. There was a time when these two types were even more separated than they are today. The fellow whose muscles constituted the greater part of him was hurried off to the shipyards or to some such place at an early age, while he whom God had not favored with so robust a body was-probably for just that reason-schooled to the limit. But those days are rapidly passing. At least the opportunity for development both physical and mental is being more widely offered. The one who does physical labor during the day is now given the opportunity to go to night school, while the regular student is not allowed to neglect his health, as he is required by the state to take a course of physical train- ing. As we are members of this latter group, let us consider the matter as it affects high school students in general. It is surprising how little benefit one may derive from this really beneficial gymnasium require- ment if he only decides that the school is trying to put something over on him, and consequently expends as little energy as possible in the exercises. I had the honor HQ of assisting a physical director during the past yeargband it was interesting to note that those who habitually cheated themselves of the benefits they might otherwise have had were the worst physical wrecks in the school, and many of them were of the so-called finale-hopper type. To be sure, calisthenics are not the ideal means for obtaining the best body development, for to begin with, they are usually dropped when we finish school. ln the second place, it is a sort of drudgery which admits of very little variety or pleasure, and so is less exhilar- ating. Some sport then, thoroughly liked, should be adopted by every healthy person, and what is more important, by every unhealthy per- son. If you have never followed any particular sport, try them all out, certainly there will be o11e of God's health preservers that will meet with r --H ff 62 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. your approval. Be anything but a little, skinny, weak-armed, weak- knecd, sickly fellow without an ounce of strength. A ditch digger might not put a child to sleep as quickly as such a person, but his efficiency in such a case would be far greater than the former's as a ditch digger. Perhaps, though, this analogy is somewhat overdrawn, for by it we do not mean to uphold the fellow who comes to school simply for the sake of athletics, for he who is a star', on one of the school teams and is ever on the verge of disqualification because of unsatisfactory school work is anything but a credit to the school he represents. The group that is underdeveloped in mind or in body, is generally pitied and despised by those of the opposite group, and, in either case, we think the pity and contempt justifiable. The star athlete of the type we have mentioned, is a dumbbell to the sissified fellow who thinks of nothing but his studies, and he, in turn, is spurned by the f'star. Wliat we want is more fellows on our teams who will also be a credit to their school scholastically and it will follow that there will be fewer class room wizards who are physically deficient. This end can be accomplished however, only when our athletes are not satisfied simply to get by in their school work and when those of a weaker physique determine, after the example of the much loved Teddy Roosevelt, to develop sound bodies as fitting habitations for their sound minds. .nolifgl-in-. Notoriety and Success. Give me the man that is not passion's slave and I will wear him in my heart 's core. ' '-S11AKnsPEAnE. Old and young, rich and poor, gambler and scholar, all are alike moved by a desire for fame and glory. Indeed, Cicero says that if it were not for this hope of renown there would be nothing which would make our brief sojourn on earth worth experiencing. No matter how modest and retiring one may be, in his heart there is a desire to some day be known and appreciated by others. However, as we endeavor to attain this renown, let us not confuse notoriety with success. Notoriety may be born in an hour, but sue- cess comes only after untiring and worthy effort. Notoriety is but the reflection of success with her features greatly accentuated so as to seem more desirable at a distance, but close observation discloses her face to be coarse, repulsive and wholly deceptive. On the other hand, since success is almost indiscernible in the dist- ance and since the obstacles intervening cannot all be spectacularly hurdled but must be laboriously surmounted on hands and knees, as it were, Success may at first seem unworthy of the effort required to attain it. Still, we shall iind that it is quite the contrary and that once having reached our goal, these obstacles have served only to intensify its value far beyond our most roseate anticipations. In the same way The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 63 the fame acquired by notoriety is short-lived and when it goes it leaves an empty space in our lives that we may hope vainly to refill. Success, however, in the true sense of the word-not the success of dollars and cents, but that which raises not merely ourselves but our fellowmen as well-is lasting, and the fame that it affords will be with us throughout our lives. ...g-igjj-0... Mui. There is no more plastic, more easily moulded material than mud. Yet, wait a bit: when it dries, no substance is harder to remove or re- shape. It clings where it hits and dirties both the victim and the thrower. Confucius had a saying, To touch mud is to become unclean, therefore, shun it. VVhat is all this driving at? Just this. In life, especially in politics, mud is evident today as never before. No matter what line of work you follow, you will encounter it, but keep your hands off it, for touching the stain merely spreads it. K. H. S. is your train- ing ground of experience in this matter of mud as well as for the job of life itself. There are two kinds of mud-slingers, those who use it for special purposes and those to whom it is a habit. The former are most in evi- dence around election time. You will recognize them easily. Do you want to elect so-and-so for such and such an office? lVhy he said, or did this, that, and the other thing. He would make a bum officer. Don't you vote for him. This talk is explicable as expressing a mean trait of human nature, but the person who yields to this temptation wins no lasting success, gains but sullied honors. He may seem to be successful for a time, but mud houses fall when sunlight has cracked and rain dissolved them. The second class of mud-slingers is a motley horde. In it belong the exaggerator, the slanderer, the cheat. Kingston High School is not free from them. The exaggerator is all too evident. He is the person who, having bee11 invited to a party and seeking sensation, delights in spread- ing stories of hooch, crap games, wild rides, and such, or having been left out of the party, spitefully labels it wild, Let us just see how he works. Armed with a good imagination and a tongue which wags both ways he starts out for information. He gets it. The party of so-and-so played 'tAuthors, therefore they used cards, therefore, since they played cards, it must have been poker. Great deduction! The party played parchesi, therefore, they used dice, therefore, they shot craps. Fine! The party had punch, therefore, since some punch has contained wine, the party drank hooch. VVhee! The party broke up at 12:15, after midnight, therefore the party ended in the early morning, therefore it ended about three o'clock. Marvellous! These people should write stories or report for the yellow-sheets. 64 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. Their talents are wasted among us. Poe would envy them, Conan Doyle would copy their works if this talent were trained. But it isn't. Next, we have the slanderer. VVere K. H. S. free from this pest, it would indeed be a better place. To illustrate, those who, returning home late, having gone to a school dance earlier in the evening, say that the dance was just over, and so in order to protect themselves forget that they are cheating the school. But they didn't think of that, they didn't know it was loaded. Last, but not least, comes the cheats. They are the people who love to skin', in an exam and use a pony in Latin. Vlorse than that, they boast of their crimes. They throw mud upon our school just as surely as though they robbed a bank. Yes, you say, very good, but that doesn't apply to me. Look at yourself and look squarely! Even you are mud-spattered and worst of all, some of the dirt may be on your hands. For the honor of K. H. S., for your own good name, wipe it off! Shun it! Build for yourself a palace of marble, not a mud hut. ..-n-iQ11a... K. H. S. and Leisure Hours. Year by year as machinery takes the place of manpower and the working hours in a day grow fewer, the question of how to spend leisure time becomes more important. There are divers kinds of amusements which are generally indulged in. These vary in value and worthless- ness and their patrons benefit according to their ideas of a well-spent time. That there are too many leisure hours wasted, however, is evident, and that there are too many amusements offered which do nothing but profitlessly while away time is also beyond question. How then are we to check this waste of time and money? Although most of us are unaware of it, we, as members of Kings- ton High School, have already done much to counteract this unfortunate tendency. The plays given by the high school are among the best amateur productions. Much time is always spent by both teachers and students in perfecting these plays to the highest possible degree and that they succeed is shown by the enthusiastic reception always ac- corded their efforts. These plays, nevertheless, are not the sole or most important eX- pression of our ambition. In accordance with the policy of always giv- ing the best, the high school has brought to Kingston from time to time such men as Chief Caupolican, Lambert Murphy, Cameron Beck, Dr. Barker, and others who are recognized in the leading cities of the coun- try as men of real merit. They come with a purpose in their entertain- ing and go away leaving us mentally richer and wiser because of some message they have given us. The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 65 Vile are proud that Kingston High School is a leader in this type of entertainment and address. It is true that the citizens of Kingston have not received some of these men as was their due, but we attribute this apparent lack of interest to the fact that they are not fully awak- ened to the nullifying effects of some of the present day amusements, and we feel confident that this movement of educational and classical entertainment which we have begun cannot but gain the sympathy, support, and encouragement of Kingstonians as they come to appreci- ate these presentations at their true worth. Let us, then, sturdily main- tain the stand we have taken and rest assured that as time goes on Kingston will, although tardily, 11ot only support the lecturers and artists whom we bring here, but not being satisfied with the quantity of our quality, will also take the initiative and offer more amply that type of entertainment which will both profitably and pleasurably provide for the leisure hours of its citizens. ....-..Qpg...... The Typical American Boy. The typical American boy is a descendant of many radically differ- ent types of persons. He represents the entire Caucasian 1'2lCQ. He represents every creed. He is a comparatively new addition to the world, for it necessarily involved a process of many years to enable the stalwart Englislnnan, the slow-moving, ponderous Dutchman, the elno- tional Frenchman, the cold, austere Pilgrim, and the sympathetic and chivalrous Royalist to catch the spirit and interests of their neighbors and give in return that which was best in his own make-up. lt seems safe to say that not until within the past one hundred years was there a typical American boy. Some writers confer the honor of being the first to represent the highest type of American to Lincoln, but, however that may be, the number of typical Americans has until lately been few. The typical American boy, as he has been known in the last century, is a boy of whom we may well be proud. lntellectually, spiritually, physically, and socially, he is of a very high type. His outlook upon life. bv virtue of the nianv different classes from whom he has come and whose ideas of life were in general very diverging, is broad, taking in. with some necessary modifications of each, all tl1e views of his ancestors. His patriotism is unbounded, for it was this love of coun- try and the ideals for which it stood, which acted as the iirst tie, draw- ing his forefathers together in a great common purpose. It is not an antagonistic patriotism, however, for a spirit of fair play has ever been a part of him. All this does not mean that every boy whom we meet is necessarily developed to the highest possible degree in each of the American characteristics. But the boy who has these qualities in 66 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. the making, is an ideal American boy whose number we are trying to increase and whose number is increasing every day. Any individual boy should not be disappointed if he feels that he does not measure up to this composite of American boy life. He should, however, keep the picture of the really representative American boy ever before him. Fathers and mothers, in whose hands the destinies of their children so largely lie, should do their part by never allowing the vision to fade, and the boy himself should determine to measure up, as much as it is within his power, to this typical American boy. ....-4-QD4?-.... Aristocracy. Aristocracy is all bunk! In the United States there is none. Financially speaking, these are sound facts. Indeed, that money is only a share, a lesser share, of this life's rewards, that it is not in terms of wealth that success is measured, has been repeated so often, as a matter of our education, that whenever one refers to it we yawn and prepare to meet the old friend with as much politeness as possible. Do you remember your childhood days when you pictured yourself as a doctor at the bedside of a child your skill had just preserved to life or, again, as a lawyer refusing the fee due you from some old lady whom you had saved from the designs of at heartless swindler, or per- haps even as a clown, surrounded by a group of joyful and laughing children t? Let us think a moment. VVhat was the theme of these childhood dreams before we knew the value of money? It was the theme of the ages, that the life really worth living is the life of service to others. How deplorable it is then, that we cannot retain throughout life this first vision of the future. But no, when at the commencement of our career we are deciding upon our life work the question How much does it pay? must enter i11. The slogan Be of service to your fel.- lowman sounds idealistic but not very practical. Well, is it not pos- sible to serve and to earn money at the same time? Certainly, but the danger lies in the possibility of subordinating the former to the latter and making the passion to gain the ruling one of our lives. Vle have the testimonies of thousands who have lived lives of ser- vice that such a life in itself is ample reward for the effort expended. Old fogies you say? Nevertheless, let us remember that it was to these same old fogies, many of whom died penniless and who gave of their best to the world, that you and I owe the advantages of our present day civilization. ls not our appreciation of them sufficient re- ward? Can it be translated into terms of money? No, Religion, Art, Civilization and Brotherly-love are the priceless contributions of our ancestors. Those who did their bit in the advancement of these, make up the real aristocracy, and their rank is denoted in terms of services rendered.

'tAh'm goin' to tell 1ny ma on you, .Iohn Pratt, see if I don't, sniffed poor, little, black Jimmy Putt as he started for the door of the country post. office. Close behind him John Pratt, an overbearing boy of fifteen, was announcing to the world the color of Jiminy's skin and his own superiority in race over the unfortunate darky. t'There! John exclaimed as he slammed the door shut on .Iimmy's heels and strode back to his inverted nail-keg to 'tsit in on the night's discussion. .Iust as he got himself comfortably slouched on the keg, old Zeke IValton snapped his corn-cob pipe into a perfect perpendicular to his skinny jaw and leaned forward. Pointing a long, bony linger at John, he scolded. John Pratt, let me tell you, that just because a nigger's hide is black it does not say that he's no good, nor just because your hide is white, that you're any better. Then leaning back against the counter and tipping his keg to a perilous angle, he demanded of the other eleven men who iilled the store, Say, did l ever tell you what a nigger did for me once? No, I don't guess you have, Zeke, answered the very thin post- master who sat astride a bag of his fair middlings. Seated around the store, which was well crowded, was the night school as it was locally termed. Supervisor George Van Sycke, look- ing as wise as a fat man could, sat on a soap box with his head propped beneath the telephone and Constable John Olson sat next in the circle stretching his long legs almost across the room, while he played with the weights of the scale. The others varied in build and appearance as God saw tit to make them. Every one was listening to Zeke, even to the shelves of canned fruit and I'needa biscuit boxes which circled the three sides of the room, while the ttpost oiiicen occupied the fourth side. Yes, ye see it was back in titty-two when I drove the Carnwright back and forth between Africa and the United States. I'd got a good load of rum at Baltimore and we were going down to Africa before a stiff sou'easter. Now if any of you ever go to sea, keep out of a sou'- easter, because it'll handle ye rough-like unless you're mighty keerful. I knew as soon as I'd been to sea two days that things were going too smooth. The cook was only giving us fish three times a week and bis- cuits at least once a day. Not a sailor on deck was drunk and everything was blame good, too good for me. VVell, it come, just off the coast of the Canaries. Cur ship was knocked to splinters on some shoals just west of the islands. VVe all had guns and knives, 'cause slave trading is mighty dangerous business. Vile all got to shore except poor Harvey Sloane,-I guess the sea was too heavy for him. As luck would have it there was a Spanish The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 69 ship in port -here the old man's grey beard stuck straight out- and he puffed furiously on his pipe-- and you know my father was killed by Spania1'ds. So we-well, we got their ship from them, and in a day set sail for Africa. In two weeks we were up the Ecruas River, ready to take 011 a load of slaves. Another three weeks saw us leaving for home with some seventy-odd slaves below decks. Any trouble coming back ?--Hm-I should say so. There was in that bunch one big, husky nigger about Jed's size, and Zeke pointed to Jed Dunn, a big, six-foot, broad-chested fellow, who did about everything he could to make thing's bad for us. He was king or something among those niggers, so we called him Duke. But we weren't three days out before I bent that nigger in two. After that he did what I told him to do, and don 't you think he didn't. But somehow I got to like the Duke. So one day I called him up on deck and told him he was eook's assistant for good. Guess he was glad to escape being sold, 'cause he certainly did work hard. The speaker stopped long enough to knock the ashes from his pipe and refill it. Again he broke the intense silence so sel- dom given a speaker in a country post office. Since then I knocked about some a11d seen some queer things. In sixty I joined up with the Confederates under ColonelHolden. I never heard of the Duke until 'long near the end of tl1e war. IVe was tearing' up railroads and burning bridges a11d doing all sorts of things to stop Sherman's march to the sea. One morning I crawled from my tent and started to cook my breakfast when the pickets came running in with the news that a large advance guard of Sherman 's army was only a half a mile away. I woke up the camp and told 'em to get ready to retreat. Just then Colonel Holden came over to me and looking me square in the eye, said, 'VVhat's the matter, IValton, scared'?' Now I've never been scared of man nor beast and no one has ever told me so either, without he was sorry afterwards. Maybe I acted too quickly, but anyway be- fore the words left his mouth he was on his back-in the dust. He got up sore-like, without saying a word and walked away. I heard him order the men to get ready to hold the position at all hazards. There wasn't an important thing in ten miles to hold, and we only had to fall back on our main army a mile away. But when you're in the army, orders is orders, and ye got to do what you 're told. Again the old man stopped and puffed slowly on his pipe. Sitting bolt upright on his nail keg, he seemed to be going over his past experi- ences again. IVith closed eyes he waved his hand, first this way, then that way, always mumbling to himself. Evidently he was giving his last orders. Not a soul in the store stirred. In a low, husky voice he went slowly on. t'IVe didntt have long to wait for the Unionists, 'bout fifteen minutes, I guess. IVhen I saw them, I looked 'round for Colonel Holden, but I couldn't find him. All the men were ready to fight it out to a finish, but when I saw their numbers, I decided it was no use to hold out. So without much of a 70 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. scrap I surrendered with the rest of my regiment. They marched us back and locked us up in Mattadon. About the second day there, one of the jailors, they were all freed slaves, stopped at my door, looked at me closely and walked on. I was sure I had seen that fellow some- where, but where or when I couldn't remember. Next night someone woke me up, told me to keep quiet, picked me up and carried me out of jail. After a while he set me down and told me to wait. Soon he re- turned earrying a lighted torch. I saw I was in some limestone quarry with a stone ceiling not a foot above my head. Then I looked at my reseuer a11d in a flash I saw it was the Duke. There in that cave, with the torch on the ground, black and white as we were, we hugged and kissed like we was Sweethearts. He told me how we was going to Can- ada where we would live on his farm. He was explaining something about a wife when we suddenly heard voices. 't 'Marse Wvalton, go back thar, I'll come for you tOII1OI'I'ONV,, and picking up his torch he ran towards the entrance, leaving me in dark- ness. I turned and started to run further back in the cave, but before I'd gone far something hit me in the head and knocked me cold. The next I k11ew I was in a hospital lying in a soft bed between white sheets. I at o11ee asked for the Duke and an old battered up soldier next to me told me this story. The Duke had told the men, they were Con- federates who had recaptured the town, that I was gone for good. They said as how I was wanted for treason, but since I was gone they would shoot him.

H. . CSec0nd Prizaj Humorous Sketch Contest. It seems so strange to me that of all the allusions made to Utopia, that city of perfection, we have never heard of its high school. One time I had a strange dream, as most of my dreams are wont to be. I dreamt that I was a student in Utopia High School. Upon arriving late, as we students usually did, we were greeted at the door by a reception committee composed of seniors who were 11ot at all lofty, but were especially considerate of the under classmen. In little monocycles, specially designed for our corridors and supplied by the school, We were escorted into the presence of a most gracious woman who presided in a spacious, cheerful hall and who begged us not to concern ourselves over so slight a matter as tardincss and to forgive her for mentioning it. In U. H. S. everyone is good-naturedg so we readily forgave her for her indiscretions. The mellow assembly bell then rang. Vle slowly drove into the chapel hall and, in accordance with the wishes of our principal, seated ourselves towards the back in case the speaker should be dull. The speaker urged us not to waste our time studying our lessons, since the pursuit of pleasure was the most important and satisfying occu- pation. His speech lasted three minutes, the longest talk we had had in years. After he had finished, our p1'incipal thanked him for the wonderful influence his speech would be sure to exert over us and then we reluctantly departed. ' Then I went to French class where I was greeted by a mob of executioners who were to slaughter five hundred and sixty-five irregu- lar verbs. Giving a smile of extreme pleasure, I passed on to my beloved mathematics. ' The instructor kindly informed us that, instead of puzzling over some nonsensical problems from the boow, we were to figure out the day's baseball scores, since they would be more useful to us. I next wheeled to English class. I found the teacher conversing with Shakespeare, who later addressed us, telling us that we were murdering him. Such nonsense! 'When he was tl1e one who was kill- ing us. However, he placed a Victoria Cross upon the teacher for her heroic efforts in attempting to save his life, and departed, W'e had two hours in which to eat our lunch. The meal was per- fect, soup, turkey, cranberries, potatoes, peas, salad, ice cream, eakg and candy-all for ten cents. VVhen I entered chemistry class, I was informed that these foolish scientists who were forever discovering new things for us to learn were being drowned in concentrated sulphuric acid. VVe had the fuj nerals then and there. It was very gay. T2 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. In Latin class, I discovered Cicero pleading with the class to study his orations. The expression of his face clearly betrayed all his characteristics, greed for irregular constructions, stinginess in reg'ard to easy sentences, lust for figures of speech, and all the other traits which every student of Cicero knows. Ny teacher advised me, however, never to study these ditlieult matters for more than fifteen minutes. After school we motored through the corridors which were equip- ped with all the Fifth Avenue traHic regulations. VVe were travelling at fifty when we passed Mr. Lewis donned in a traffic cop's uniform. He, with his insatiable desire for speed, ordered us to step on the gas and to report in the gym for dancing--- But then the alarm clock rang.

Y The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. T3 The Pessimist. tFirsf Priecj Essay Contest. A pessimist, in the opinion of a certain noted man, is a person who never should have been born. Unfortunately, however, it is not for us to discuss fzrlzyzf God created the pessimist. It suffices to say that he is here, and from the way things look at present, he is here to stay. Consequently, when another noted man, seeing it in this light, was asked to define a pessimist, he responded: t'The pessimist is the curse of humanity, one who deliberately makes himself wretched, and not content with that, tries to pass on his misery to others . But, per- haps, the one definition which strikes at the point most directly is that by a famous writer, which reads, A pessimist is a person in whom the milk of human kindness has turned sour . For several years, I have known a young man, who in my mind, is the most pessimistic of pessimists. In fact, he is so possessed of that disagreeable characteristic that I am inclined to believe he makes it a point to start each day in a contradictory mood, and to wear con- tinually a somber and mournful expression. He is actually a peddler of pessimism. Always with a plentiful stock of gloomy ideas, dreary conclusions, doleful recollections, nameless forebodings, he goes on . day after day, forever pestering his fellowmen with his miserable philosophy, and with his many complaints of being friendless, homeless, hope- less, undone. Seemingly always under a pressure of calam- ity, or crushed by huge burdens, with his heart at times about to burst with despair, he appears to be a very flood of wretchedness. Anything worth while is never attempted by this forlorn hope, because every attempt is foredoomed to failure. Dismal thoughts are per- mitted to warp his judgment while he is continually in a woeful and most discouraged frame of mind. He seems to date existence only by the memory of its burdens, being at the same time firm in the belief that man was born to trouble. One afternoon, I visited my friend, and to my great surprise, I found him reading that book of cheer, The Amcricanieafion of Edward Bok. I could but rub my eyes in amazement--a pessimist reading such a book-a book purely for the optimistic. Had my friend finally seen the bright side of life? lVhat effer could have induced him to read the life history of Edward Bok? But, no, a glance at his face told me that as far as he was concerned, the book was as dry as desert dust, dull, and utterly devoid of interest. I should have know better than to have imagined my friend seeing the sunny side of life. Soon he arose from his chair, and throwing the book over on a table, he grumbled in a disgusted voice, 'Wine in a million-sheer luck--no chance for a fellow like ine . If Edward Bok wrote his auto- 74 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. biography with the purpose of pointing out what an average ordinary person can make his life, or of having it act as an inspiration and model for the young, I am sure that had the great journalist himself seen with his own eyes the expression on my friend's face, he would have immediately ordered the publishing of his book stopped, for it would have been plainly evident that he had indulged in a futile hope. Right then and there, I determined that my friend might just as well attempt to dig a ditch with a spoon as to make a success of life. If not even the cheerful Edward Bok could show the pessimist that everything in life is ordered for the best, why then, the case was coin- pletely hopeless. A pang of pity ran through me like an electric cur- 1'e11t, as I stood there watching my friend. Powers of Light! Canaan may have had its Hood, but then all people were cruel and immoral, Egypt may have had its plagues, but then Pharoah would not heed the Divine will. IVhat, I pray, have we at this time done to merit such an aflliction as the pessimist, to de- serve such a punishment as these wreckers of human happiness? Canaan saw its rainbow, Egypt the exodus. How long, oh, how long, I pray, must we suffer before we are relieved of the pessimiste? And there are countless others like my friend, some not so bad, others-- merciful Heaven! I hope not worse.

The sun had just set, and with the setting of the sun a slight breeze began to rustle the leaves of the trees. The birds were chirping their good-night messages, and even the bees seemed to have ceased their continued droning as they flew hither and thither amongst the roses that crept in a tangled mass up the trellis, and twined ,round the pillars of the porch. In the garden, the morning glories had begun to nod as if they too were glad that they might droop their heads and go to sleep, while the dew fell softly upon the world. In the morning they would be fresh and beautiful as they lifted their heads, sparkling with dew, to greet the sun, but that would be morning-and this was dusk. Then the night moths began to fly, and gradually, one by one, the stars began to appear in the deep, deep velvety blue of the sky, which was a sign that night had closed in earnest. In a little white cottage, set back from the road and nearly hid by rose bushes, honeysuckle vines and stately old trees, a tired mother, weary from the heat of day, was getting a curly-headed little rogue equally as tired, ready for Slumberland. The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 75 Clad in his little white nightie, he knelt before his little white bed, and a lisping voice repeated: Now I lay me down to sleep. I t was naught but a prayer in a child's voice, but it reached the ear of a man who stood uncertainly before the cottage. Then, as he listened, a soft crooning lullaby came to him. . Inside, a tired little form relaxed and two blue eyes closed sleepily. The song ceased abruptly for the sandman had sealed the blue eyes tight shut. Tears filled the eyes of the man g-big, strong man that he was, roughened by wind and storm. He was a wanderer ,-a wanderer but now returning. For many years he had wandered here and there, aimlessly, fruitlessly. Every- thing worth while had been forgotten-home, friends,-even God, and when conscience had begun to speak it had been drowned in drink. Finally, almost by chance, the wanderer had drifted back to the town where he had spent his childhood days. XVith a little inquiry, he had been informed that his mother and father had long since gone home and that his brothers had moved away 5-to be married or to hold high positions in life. He was also informed, however, that his sister, Mary, was living' in the neighborhood. This, then, was her home. The influence of the night, so like that night of long ago when he l1ad gone into the wide world, the lullaby his sister had been singing, and the child's prayer, all combined to make something snap in the man 's heart. Then, through the night, a prayer was lifted to the Throne of God. Suddenly he started. Mary was standing before him! A thousand emotions stirred his heart. Only his sister? Yes, but what memories Hooded his soul at the sight of her! VVould she recognize the brother who had teased her, pulled her hair, yet always called her Little Sister ? Ah, she did! Two arms thrown around the neck of the burly stranger, a soft tear falling-all is well. The night insects hummed away, the stars still twinkled, the trees continued to whisper, somewhere a night owl hooted, the moon began to climb up, up from behind the distant mountains. The night was the same, all was serene-all unconscious of the miracle wrought in the heart of a man. -HETJEN STRICKLAND, '26. ...o'1iQPj:-n..

Just a few hours from the strife and turmoil of New York, the weary rest-seeker can find complete repose and peace in the natural paradise of Maine. It is useless to try to describe it fully, with its hundreds of lakes, its green forests, its panoramic splendor. Let us be content with casting an appreciative eye on a secluded little corner, where, amidst the calm staid old New England, we find one of a famous chain of lakes. The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 77 As one stands on a knoll at the head of the lake, the bounty of nature, shown by her lavish use of color, and l1er reckless display of contra st, must hold the onlooker entranced. The lake itself, confined by its rugged shores with the picturesque coves and points, is of a delicate blue which seems to reflect the clear- ness of the sky. Scattered here and there on its rippling surface are little islands covered with riotous vegetation. The shores are heavily wooded, and the vivid green foliage, which lends some of its color to the lake, brings into sharp contrast the deep somber green of the pines and firs, that fill the air with their fragrance. Overhead tl1e cloud-tlecked sky and, nearby hills encompassed by tl1e farther mountains, which distance envelopes in a bluish haze, form a titting frame for this picture. iii Yrs At night, with a great mellow moon spreading its radiance over the water, the lake is transformed into a sheet of silver. The bold out- lines of tl1e shores and islands blend more softly with tl1e surrounding shadows. and cast their reflections on the glowing waterg and the moon, as it advances across the sky, leaves a broad golden trail upon the shimmering surface of tl1e lake. Then, as the moon goes slowly down behind the distant peaks, the shadows deepen-objects become blurred,-and darkness spreads over it all, as though to protect it from prying eyes. --Enya SCHMIDT, '2-1. ....-:qqQyg,-..... The Wardrobe. 1 can remember gowns that I have worn As men remember battles lost and won, They are as old dreams that come back. In the old colonial town of Kingston, there stands a very stately mansion that seems fairly to teem with mystery, for here, in the walls of this spacious structure is a huge wardrobe in which dwelt a family of gowns. Now, these gowns were on fairly good terms with one another, even though the tweed suit was a little coarse and spoke with a Scottish brogue, and the evening gown, a little superior, simply because it had been to the Governor's Ball. Of course, the oldest suit was the tweed, the one that had been there for about three years and was still worn in the country or o11 outings. So you see, its age and strength-it was worn in the snow, rain, or hail-lent to it a particular quality of service. The most exciting moments for the clothes were in the morning, for then their mistress opened that mysterious door and selected the dress 78 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. that was to endow her graceful form with distinction. Imagine the chatter in these few minutes. VVhich gown would she select? Hullo', it's tennis today, one would say as the sport skirt and sweater disappeared, or, I think that there is a dance tonight, if it was an evening gown. I can always depend on having an interest- ing frock coat with whom I can chat, the evening dress would boast, while all the rest of the gowns would look on in envy. There was indeed a quiver in that tense moment when the clothes were selected, but greater still was the excitement when a new dress was hung in the wardrobe. Why? Because the new clothes brought news from the tailors-their old home-and so there were countless questions to ask as to who had cut it out and stitched it, what changes there were, what had become of poor, frail, Letitia, the seamstress: and many other questions that one would naturally ask concerning his old home. Now, there came a time, when neither their mistress, nor Jane, their mistress' maid came to see them, so they began to worry and wonder what could have happened. During this period of inactivity, the wardrobe was filled with a sorrow and unrest that developed into a strong feeling of rivalry. Each thought itself the one best loved by its mistress, for said the vel- vet, Did I not make her queen at the ball? Here the haughty organdie stiffened and answered, t'Did I not give her youth? But from a far corner there came a low pathetic voice that murmured, Yes, you made her a queen and you gave her youth, but I, a plain white mull, gave her only love. At that moment Jane softly opened the door and took out her mistress' prettiest black dress. In spite of the fact that it was a beau- tiful dress, it always seemed to be very solemn and grave. Naturally, they all waited with a great deal of excitement for the return of the black gown, but the strangest thing about it was-the black dress never returned. A few days later Jane returned, but this time, she began to carry out the dresses and pack them in her rather dilapidated trunk. Their mistress had hurt their pride by not returning to them, but this, why, it was outrageous. The idea of being put into such a trunk, one upon the other, and yes, even without tissue paper! Think of it! And that was not the worst, for after they had arrived at what seemed to be Jane's home, she began to alter them to lit her. How humiliating! This naturally hurt the pride and dignity of them all except the old tweed suit and the plain white mull. The tweed suit did not care whom it served, so long as it was worn and worn out in the open air, while the plain white mull cared not, for Cupid, the King of Kings, was young, and spring was in the air.

VVhile rummaging among the same collection of works in which I found the diary of the Monk of Ariste, I came across the following letter, printed on parch- ment and written in Latin. For the mere sport of the thing, I had translated part of it when I became aware that here was something further about my friend the Monk, whose diary had filled me with awe with its tales of miracles. Perhaps a little introduction is necessary. Early last spring, while searching through a New York library, I came across a diary, written in Latin, which spoke of a town named Ariste where a monastary had been located. I looked on the map of Europe for it in vain. However, having access to a book of European folk-lore and tradition, I soon found Ariste mentioned as a monastary which had been destroyed in 1568 by the eruption of a volcano. How- ever, the story was that God had destroyed it because He thought mere mortals were coming too near His secret of death and eternity. VVith my curiosity thus aroused, I sought to find the true story and, after translating pages of excellent Latin, found it: The Lost Tradition of the Monk of Ariste. This is the letter as nearly as I could translate it: June 14, 1568. H.Iulins to his Grandfatlier: My dear Grandfather, I write to you thus out of my usual custom because I fear that if I do not write at once this message may never reach you. Many things have happened in the last year which seem to point in one direction, that this is the end of all things. Since I wrote you last, events have occurred which seem too miraculous even to write of. Nevertheless, I shall try. You know of the miracle of Christmas. You also know that brother Marcus has been following an unusual line of research. Two months ago he linished. Two months ago we were awakened by a great shock and rushed upstairs to find him bent over his diary, dead. Something moved on his forehead, we looked and saw a tiny animal, a crustacean, iridescent, which vanished as we looked. However, some of us recognized it as the counterpart of some which he had kept conlined in a glass jar. NVe read his diary before sealing it and sending it to his mother and sister. In it he described the animal very minutely and gave it a name, saying that therein lay the secret of death and eternity. He called it t'Eubranchipus vernalisf' IVe have tried to probe its significance and failed, and therein is the mystery. I was chosen to write the letter to his relatives. Brother Lucia, untidy in dress and tardy to all masses, was chosen to decipher the name. However lazy he may be, he is a master linguist, and inside of live days he called us all in to tell us his results. His papers were piled up on the table. Brothers, he said, I have discovered what Brother Marcus meant when he called this creature 'Eubranchipus vernalisf Trans- lated that means- Suddenly from the sky there burst a thunderbolt. The papers caught fire! The room was lilled with smoke! lVhen it had cleared TJ VYWI i 80 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. away, we looked for Lucia. There heelay on the floor, While on his head we saw-that creature. Five me11 have been chosen to find out the meaning of that name and the monastery has lost five devout Christians and the graveyard has gained five graves. On the foreheads of all were creatures similar to those 011 Marcus's and Lucia's heads. Perhaps the most spectacular death was Galbats, the last of the five. Galba built himself a vault which could defy lightning and wrote his notes on asbestos so that they could not be similarly destroyed. Since all the others had perished by lightning, he felt himself secure. Last week he called us together and announced: Brothers, I have discovered Brother Marcus's secret. 'Eubranehipus vernalis' means- A dark cloud spread over the room, a roaring filled the air and a voice cried, Stop On my hand was a slimy creature. I brushed him off. The room was light again. Brother Galba lay dead and on his forehead there glistened a tiny curstacean. Ye Gods, I shall go mad! The papers were gone! In their place lay a cross, burned in the stone table! Vtfe prayed and fasted for three days and then they chose me to follow up his investigations. That night I dreamt of slimy crustacea. The next day I started n1y research. That night, night before last, I awoke and felt on my forehead an animal, slimy, without substance. Heaven save my mind! This morning as I awoke I sau' it there. Great Gods, am I doomed? Tonight I shall call the brothers together to ex- plain it to them. I have found it. Hlflubranchipus vernalis,' means- Strangcst of all things, the letter is burned here. The messenger who carried the letter was the sole survivor of the entire monastery. Attached to the letter is his note: t'My masters called me to the conference last night to give me the letter which I bear to you. There on the floor lay Julius, whom I loved. The priest told me that as .Iulius read the words which told the meaning of Eubranch- ipus vernalis, a great storm shook the monastary and this letter took fire. Julius persisted and finally, above the tempest, made his voice heard and told the true meaning. Then he fell, face upwards and on his forehead was that very a11in1al. They sent me, glad to get away, with this letter and as I left I saw the monastery quiver. The monks' voices rose higher until with their last 'Gloria in l+lXcelsis,' the Whole monastery sank from view. I alone am left.

Mother receives all the attention and Dad never complains but enjoys immensely the company of his children. Since he is always working in ,order to give them everything they need, and more than they can reasonably expect, he has not so much time as Mother to see and know his children. Because of this, people have come to say that Mother is the best friend one can have. They are wrong. Mother and Dad together hold the two highest places with neither above the other. Who besides Mother rejoices with you over a good mark on a test, exam, or even on a report card? VVho is extremely proud of your suc- cess in the world outside of school?

You find that Dad can often discuss them better than Mother can because of his experi- ence. But how does it happen that we call him Dad? Evidently the com- panionship has caused us to pass from calling him Father, which sounds too formal, or Papa, which sounds childish, or Governor, which sounds disrespectful, to calling him Dad. This name suggests love 82 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. and respect, yet with these an 'intimacy that we associate with the name of Mother.

His Hardest Victory. tSecoozd Prizej Freshman-Sophomore Contest. It was the day of the interscholastic state field meet. The air was vibrant with the blare of horns, with the high school and class cheers, with the hum of a vast crowd, thrilling with emotion. Twenty-two high schools had sent their picked men to compete in the games. Some had representatives for every event, some had even more than one man for the important places, and the more arrogant counted on taking first and second place for their team honors. Some had more modest representation, while others had not more than one competitor for the whole series, a forlorn hope to win a few starveling honors in the one game their champion knew best. The call was given for the two mile run. Twenty men lined up for the event. There was a tremendous burst of enthusiasm as Edwards and Johnston, the two runners of Hillsdale.High School, stepped on the track. They wore the colors of their school. An equally deafening roar greeted Benton and Sullivan in their school colors representing the Crmand school. Twice they had been champions of the southern division. A smaller volume of encouragement greeted the runners of the other schools. And there were some, like Carrollton and Cranston for whom there was not even a word. A brief word of instructions from the referee, the sharp command On your mark! Ready! -the crack of the pistol and they were off lVhen Arthur Carrollton was eight years old, he had been put in charge of three younger children in the stuffy little farm house while his mother and sister went out into the fields to work. The father was dead, and the farm was mortgaged for almost its full value, so that there was need for everyone to work. Arthur learned to do everything in the home, learned it at an age when his boy companions were most heartless in their criticism of the 'tsissy-boy, the boy who does house- work of any kind. For six years Arthur was housekeeper. His mother said he was Hthe best boy! This commendation, however, did not find approval with his boy companions. To charge him with doing housework is the The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 83 utmost humiliation one small boy can inflict on another. In school, at games, everywhere, Arthur suffered as only a sensitive nature can suffer. I'll quit school and never go back, he had said a score of times, as some new trouble confronted him. But his mother persuaded him to continue. She would say, Arthur, my boy, you stick to your school work, and make it thorough. It will help take you away from the things we've had to contend with. Yes, and it will teach you to conquer your- self, which will be your hardest, if not, your first great victory. I'll stay, Mother, for your sake, the boy said. And he did. He won the scholarship of at famous university in his senior year. Prosperity was now dawning for the Carrolltons, there was a hired man to do all chores and manual labor. Arthur punished himself when he refused to become a part of the social life around him. His sensitive pride had bee11 wounded, he would not fraternize with his former per- secutors, who had forgotten their boyhood gibes and would have welcomed him i11to their social life. VVhy don 't you crawl out of your shell and play some game. demanded Bob Smith, captain of the football team. We need some help on the scrubs, and you ought to be good enough to practice any- how. Bob had forgotten his own part in the sissy-boy persecution of former days. He was still rather overbearing because of his physical prowess. I haven 't time, said Arthur, I get all the exercise I want on the road to and from the farm, and besides, I want the rest of my time for study. Aw, shucks, sneered the captain of the sports, afraid?'7 No, but I'm not coming out. All right, old book-worm, hope you pass your exams! And the captain again spread the story of the boy who was too ladylike to play rough games. Arthur had tried to overcome his old resentment, but after Bob spread the story of football cowardice, he became more resentful then ever. One day while he was feeling blue over the football incident, he chanced upon a long magazine article on the Olympic g'ames. It gave details of training for the great games. There were inspiring pictures, incidents of courage, and little stories of how famous athletes had built themselves from the least promising materials. It was a revelation. He had always trudged along the weary road unmindful of the beauty and strength of the great outdoors. Now he learned that the spirit can make any task seem light, even dishwashing, or the walk to school if one wills it so. A Here was an inspiration. To be strong, to be self-reliant, to be above the gibing lads who had once tormented him, was something Arthur had wished for but had not thought possible. 977 84 Tl1e Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. There was a well-to-do, lonely widow living on the outskirts of the town. with only a turn in the road to screen her from the town itself. She was a scold, the village said, but she and Arthur became fast friends. The widow gave Arthur a log shed that was not used for any pur- pose. Here he left his school clothing before going home, and put it on again in the morning before going to the school. Arthur's ru11s were known to a few, but were not commented on. Those who saw him racing by considered it only a boyish prank, hardly worth noticing. lVhen he began to find that he covered the distance with little exertion a11d reached home in an incredibly short time, he wondered just l1ow long it was taking him to make the ru11. One spring day he took his father's old watch and timed himself for a mile. He sat down weakly when he read the figures. He was within twenty'-five seconds of the interscholastic record. He 11ow realized running with his street clothes on would keep him totally unfit for the competition. That night he was more quiet than usual. Might he not get into the interscholastic games, in the name of his own little school, and surprise them all? But he hated his own school, and any honors he might bring it. The widow chanced to meet. Arthur the next day as he was leaving the little shed for home. Uh, Mrs. VVilliams, he began impulsively, if I only had twenty dollars, I'd go to Hillsdale, and, and there he stopped. People did not usually ask Mrs. lVilliams for money, for she did not allow friend- ships to get so intimate as that. But- this time she heard, for she wormed the truth from the abashed boy. Oh, Arthur! You shall go, she said, I know you can win. Vfhen Arthur asked for the privilege of representing the school in the two mile run at the state meet, the principal was almost as greatly surprised as the pupils themselves. They finally agreed to give him his credentials from the school, if he wished to go. There were three unusual travelers o11 the train to Hillsdale the day before the interscholastic games, a thin, domineering woman, an- other, a thinner, careworn woman, and a quiet, thin-faced boy. NVith the crack of the pistol, there was a flash of color, a11d the long line of runners sprang forward as one. The two champions of Hillsdale and the two champions from Ormand made the better start. After them came the champions of other large schools and last came those of the small schools. Before the first two hundred yards were covered they were running in a regular procession. For the first half mile, there was little incident save the gradual stringing out of the runners. One by one the raw runners dropped behind until at the end of a mile it had settled down to a grind between The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 85 Edwards of Hillsdale and Benton of Ormand. Each was trailed as closely as possible by his team companion. At the mile and a half mark, however, Jansen, a powerful runner, caught Edwards napping. .As Edwards dropped behind the others, beaten but still running, he became aware of another runner who moved up beside him. The runners now were Sullivan of Ormand. Johnston of llills- dale, Jansen, and the stranger. The newcomer ran swiftly, trailing straight behind the flying leaders. Un the back stretch, however, he sprinted up even with Jansen. Rounding the last turn, Jansen swung outward for his final t1'y for the lead. Johnston swung at the same time. Sullivan sprinted des- perately. The trio were fighting furiously for the honors. A roar broke forth from the crowd as the runners came within the last hundred yards from the tape. For 11ow, shooting out from behind came the stranger, running lightly and true. The others stumbled in their efforts to win, but the stranger forged ahead until-the tape yielded its tautness to his out-thrust chest-a good two yards in the lead. Then pandemonium broke forth from the crowd. Carrollton of Cranston breaks the interscholastic record. Later Carrollton went to a famous university and won again over a score of picked men from great colleges. t'But that wasn't much of a victory after all, he said, as they toasted him at an athletic banquet.

They are all decidedly readable and they all contain a subtle humor that is nowhere strained, but that is ever refreshing and natural. The author succeeds in giving us an impres- sion of English life, English wit, and English literary style from a viewpoint which very few English authors have taken. There is, in this collection, an essay to fit every individual mood. A Little Child is light, humorous, and spontaneous. Third Tlzouglzits, Tlzouglzfs at tlw Ferry, and Truro of Jlariflzafs Sons are a little more serious in tone. The Self-made Staiuc and The Sparroufs' Friend are both good as nature studies. Nr.

The senior class wish to express their gratitude and appreciation to Mr. Lewis for his energetic, untiring, and successful efforts to pro- vide speakers for our morning assemblies. Although many of those who favored us have been prominent people, not easy to secure, this has merely added zeal to our principalis determination to afford us the opportunity to hear the best. Thus, while seeking others to aid in our education, Mr. Lewis has himself given us a lesson as valuable as any of the excellent ones brought to us by the speakers-that he who refuses to recognize difficulties generally succeeds in eliminating them. ...Q-iQj1.... Dr. Keyes' Address. One morning early in the first term, Mr. Lewis introduced Dr. Keyes, President of Skidmore College, who spoke to us in a helpful and delightful way about college life. He gave the students some sound advice about selecting colleges, emphasizing the desirability of a school that gives, not only mental but also physical development. At the close of Dr. Keyes' talk we clearly understood that although most colleges these days are good, there are some which are more suited to our needs than are others, and that it is highly import- ant to our success to choose the right one. Dr. Keyes remained with us all the morning and conferred with the girls who were especially interested i11 Skidmore. ...Q-isgjj-.... Nothing New Under the Sun. Un Thursday afternoon, March eighth, Mr. A. H. Van Buren dc- livered an address on the subject, Noflzizlg New Uizdcr the Sun. Mr. Van Buren said that excavations have shown that the people in civilizations long past accomplished many things which we are too prone to consider peculiarly modern achievements. The greatest minds of our period try to imitate Virgil and Homer, Ptolemy and Archimedes, Socrates and Plato, and pattern their works after those of the great master minds of long ago. Then, since the world changes but little as years pass, what is it that truly matters? NVho are they who actually count in the world? The Maroon, Kingston, N.

Dr. Barker. 1 On 'VVednesday afternoon, November sixteenth, 1922, Dr. Charles E.'Barke'r,- one of the 'International Rotary speakers, gave a talk in which the evident sincerity, enthusiasm, and power 'of the speaker made doubly interesting a vitally important message. Dr. Barker's subject 'wasyH0fzv'f0- Make the Most of Life. The three points upon which he based his talk were taken from an address of James A. Garfield's'in which he said that in order to be a success one must have three things: first, a strong arm, second,ea clear head, 'and third, a strong heart. If a man is to succeed he must have a strong, healthy body in orderto carry on his task. Dr. Barker remindedus that exercise is an import- ant factor in keeping one in good health, a11d that if people who are not healthy would take proper exercise for only fifteen minutes each morn- ing, they would soon be in good physical condition. The second qualification in making the most of life, a clear head, ispthe aim in an indirect way of every educational institution in the country. The chief purpose of education' is to train' the mind and the will to do the work one has to do when it should be done, whether or 110i one happens to feel like it. ' ' The cause of many a man's failure in business is lack of will power to do the thing he should do rather than the thing he feels inclined to do. Failure in school is also caused by a pupil's lack of will power to concentrate on his work. A brave heart, the third essential to success, is the hardest thing of all to cultivate. Many men who have faced the fiercest of physical dangers are great moral cowardsg but real heroism is exhibited in one 's ability to face temptation and risk the ridicule of the crowd without tiinching. The only way to cultivate a brave heart is to say non to temptation and then stick to the decision. Dr. Barker ended his talk by giving some important hints on mat- ters ot' boys' and girls' conduct towards each other, and he urged that more respect be shown the girls by their boy friends. Dr. Barker is a man who might be called a minister of common sense and his talk to the high school pupils was taken seriously by all. Surely if Dr. Barker's outline is followed, a better type of student and later a better type of business man, will be the inevitable result. 100 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. Mr. Dhalwani Tells of India. After school Thursday, September fourteenth, we were entertained and instructed in the customs of the Hindu by Mr. Dhalwani. He told us of the uneducated condition of the people of India at present. This, he said, was one reason for his opinion that they were not in readiness for independence. He gave us a slight conception of some of the customs of the natives. A very interesting demonstration of turban making, aided by a frightened freshman, amused us all. We further learned that that part of our etiquette drive relating te the eating of soup would be of little use in India as good breeding there is measured by the amount of noise one can make while practicing this gentle art. The girls were particularly interested in his display of dress materials. iWhen the Hindu starts to play his own accompaniment for a song, he takes nearly two hours to tune up and the11-the music, or rather a series of weird sounds. In closing, Mr. Dhalwani encouraged the students to make the best of their many opportunities, reminding them that to succeed one must have sand and not be afraid of work. .-no-ligbj-0... Mendelssohn. Our morning assemblies are a series of inspirations and pleasing surprises. Sometimes we receive instruction and at other times we just enjoy ourselves. Thursday morning, May twenty-fourth, we just enjoyed ourselves and more when Miss ,ltlrstinn and Mr. Smithy, who came to Kingston for the Mendelssohn Club, generously consented to sing for us. As we all love music, the few minutes they were here made ns happy for the rest of the day. Mr. Spross, who is a noted composer and pianist, accompanied them, and also very nimbly played a piece of classical jazz. Xone of us shall ever forget these three. ....-QQDX-.... Civil War Veterans Present Flag. Un May twenty-ninth, the members of Pratt Pest, Grand Army of the Republic, with Major .lames liverett acting as their spokesman, presented the high school with a beautiful silk American flag. Donald Klaclfadden, president of the senior class, accepted the gift, saying that it would ever be an especial inspiration to us and to all the students to come because of the heroic example of its donors. In conclusion, he ex- pressed the hope that never, through one of us, should its standards be lowered or its principles be undefended in time of war or peace. The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 101 Scholarship by Dr. Brubacher. Un VVednesday morning, December 4, 1922, in assembly, the students of Kingston High School were honored by the presence of Dr. Brubacher, president of the Albany State College. The topic of his address was Scholarship. Dr. Brubacher urged that all the students of Kingston High School work tor scholarship. He said, 'tLeadership is demanded mo1'e today than ever before. Scholarship is attained by observation, investigaton, suspended judgment and patent industry. As an instance of the lack ot suspended judgment, Dr. Brubacher inentioneed the Spanish-American war. The cause of the war with Spain cannot be based upon the blowing up of the vessel Maine, for one does not know whether it was an external or internal explosion. This was a case of where suspended judgment should have been used. Dr. Brubacher also said that scholarship can only be attained by patience and industry. The trouble with most college students of today is they have no purpose in going to college and do not try to get out of it all they can. Some folks are afraid of being considered greasy grinds, who are not interesting. ...--1-Q55-.... He Kept His Word. Milton Davies recently became annoyed because his chef persisted in writing his menus in the French language. VVe are to have a number ot guests tomorrow evening, said Mil- ton, and do give us a bill of fare in English. Cui Monsieur, re- plied Alphonse. I Will do it if you will oblige me with the dictionaire. '7 He kept his word, and this is an exact copy of the menu: Soup at the tail. of the calf. Salmon in curl papers. Chest ot mutton to the little peas. Potatoes jumped. Ducks savage at sharp sauce. Charlotte at the apples. Turkey at the devil. Fruits variegated. It is needless to add that tl1e host and hostess declared that they had never presided at so hilarious a function as that dinner. --Miles Hartzell. ...u1iQ -Q...

Dramatic Club. President ..,....... -. ........ .... .... D aniel Gilson Vice-President ....... A H.w........ Dorothy Freeman Secretary and Treasurer M............ Clifford Moser Chairman of Membership Committee, Richard Burgevin Faculty Advisors, Misses Carter, Boyd, and Baragwanath December thirteenth found a new club organizing in K. H. S, its members consisting of those students who have taken part or helped in the production of some play, or else have been recommended by an English teacher as one who would be desirable as a member. The pur- pose of the club is to have all the students interested in dramatics banded together so that there will be some who can be relied on to sup- port any play that might be attempted. . Unfortunately, because of the sudden calling away of Miss Carter, the club has been somewhat inactive. However, it did produce a Christmas play, lVlze1z the Chimes Rang, which was very successful, and it was also very well represented in the A. A. Play, All-of-a-Sudden. Peggy and the senior play, Beau Brzmmzel. In the future, the club expects to have more opportunity to prove its value both by the in- struction which it will afford its members and by the entertainment it will offer the student body. ...Q-1Qj-1-Q... All-of-a-Sudden Peggy. lf an American audience has an opportunity to laugh, it is content, and unanimously votes a performance a success. Hence the play AZ!- of-fz-Suddcn Peggy, which was presented by the A. A. on January thirtieth for the purpose of raising funds to buy baseball suits for the coming season, was certainly a triumph. This comedy by Ernest Denny has a clever plot With many amusing situations. Humor, displayed through the whole performance, is made especially interesting through Anthony's study of spiders and his why nots?'7, Mrs. O'Mara's Irish wit, and Major Phillips's oft-repeated refrain, all for the good of the family. Each character proved by his acting that he was well chosen for his part, and all succeeded in losing themselves in the parts they were presenting. The Maroon, Kingston, NTY. D 105 THE oiisfr.

At dawn May Day was heralded by one last feeble attempt on the part of King' Winter to retain hisethrone. However, the scudding' clouds soon dispersed and the wind lost its chill under the kindly and ever-strengthening' rays of the sun. For the first time in the history of the high school the entire prog'- rain was held, as it should be, out of doors. The program was opened by the reverberating call of a bugle which announced the approach of the Queen of May. Preceding' her and bearing' the much-loved blue and gray banner of the class, were Kenneth Le Fever and 'Ken- neth Davis as standard bearers. The queen, Miss Elsie Fuehsle, was escorted by a stately prime-minister, who was none other than our class president, Donald Maclfadden. Following' her were her attend- ants, Margaret Richards, Evalina Crispell, Charlotte Russell, Agatha Flick, Rose Cloonan, Gertrude Byrne, Catherine McCommons, and Esther llihitley, each garbed in eolors and carrying bouquets of flow- ers, suggesting' the theme of the day, spring: Slowly those in the procession took their places about the throne which was placed upon a grassy hillock, gaily decked with a profusion of sweet-scented blossoms, the wooded area behind the school furnish- ing' a most fitting background. Then, with the twittering' birds as a iitting' accompaniment, the Prime Minister welcomed the guests, gloried in the overthrow of King VVinter, and very impressively crowned the queen, who replied thanking' the assemblage for their enthusiastic reception, Ellld greeting' them as her loyal subjects. Next the school letter and a rose were awarded to each of those who had represented the high school either in athletics or debating. Prizes were also awarded to the winners in the Jlaroon writing' con- tests. Then followed solo dances by members of the school, a peasant dance, in which eight different countries were represented, and finally a gracefully interpreted Maypole dance. All were symbolic of that season, which, by reason of its fairness and youthful jollity, has more faithful adherents than any other-Maytime. 106 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. Beau Brummel. The event of the senior year most eagerly anticipated by the class is the senior play. The class of 1923 was far from being an exception to this rule, for as preparations began, about seventy-five cheerfully and patiently tried out, so that the coach was early assured of having H11 excellent cast. The mo1'e fortunate ones, who were finally chosen. immediately set to work with a hearty will and learned that not indi- vidual effort, but co-operation is the big factor in the success of a play, more perhaps than in any other activity. After lengthy deliberation the committee decided that this year the class should produce Beau Brmnmcl, by Clyde Fitch, written especi- ally for Richard Mansfield. Of course it was an extremely difficult un- dertaking, but the cast and their coach achieved a success which more than justified their ambitions. e Many years ago there lived in England, a man, penniless, but the model of the country's most noted men. Proper, calm, unruffied, digni- fied, and deliberate-all these adjectives tend to describe this unusual personage, Beau Brummel. lXlortimer, the Beau's most faithful valet, strove religiously to carry out his master's fastidious desires. But even the good Mortimer's services were interrupted by his love for a little irish maid, dainty, poignant Kathleen. This was 11ot the only romance, however, for Reginald, the Beau's vivacious young nephew, and pretty Marianna were also victims of Cupid's dangerous bow. Even Sheridan, the older and more settled playwright, allowed himself to be beguiled by the designing, lively duchess. Wie even had a prince in our play who was most anxious to be pleasing to the haughty Lady St. Aubyn, who really was quite delighted to be so ardently wooed. These characters, besides pretty Lady Farthingale, foppish Lord Manly, money-made Mr. Vincent, the burley bailiffs, the erect butlers, the money-lender--all created for us a clear and interesting picture of the eighteenth century. The performance stood the test of a really successful production, that of causing the audience to forget for the moment the personalities of the individual actors and so giving them a single enjoyable impression. The practical purpose of presenting a senior play, as nearly eve1'y- one knows, is to provide sufficient funds for the publication of our year book, the Maroon. From this point of view also it was most successful. The class wishes to record its debt of gratitude to Mr. Byer, the coach, Miss Boyd, who directed the work on the scenery, and Miss Schnitzler of the sewingdepartment. In connection with these people, we wish also to thank the boys from the manual training department, especially Arnold Morgenstern and Henry Millonig, who spared no effort or time, the girls of the sewing classes, and all others who helped to make Beau Brzmmzcl the success it proved to be.

Miss Hull, Miss Keefe, Mr. Yan lngen. Shortly after the beginning of the business year, Donald Mac Fad- den, who was president of the YVebster-Hayne, was elected president of the senior class. Since, under the rules of the school, he could not hold both of these positions, he resigned froin the presidency ot the debating society and Solonion Roodney was elected to succeed him. The administration started work innnediately, and soon a series of trial debates was begun and continued until late in Deceniber. Much excellent oratory was displayed by the debators, so it was with great diiculty that the debating' council finally chose a Varsity teain. The teain as it represented Kingston in the preliminary and chanipionship debates was: , J. Solomon Roodiiey, Leader, R. VVestbrook Stelle, lv. ltlarinacci Corrcgan. Tsaac Reuben, Alternate. A second team was also chosen as in years before which con- sisted of z Theodore Thielpape, Leader, Jeffries Pennington, Clifford Moser, Fred Coe, Alternate. VARSITY DEBATING TEAM Tl1e Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 113 The varsity owes much of its success this year to the practice received in debates with the second team. The first league debate of the year was held in Kingston with Poughkeepsie as our opponent. The question debated was: Resolved, That in view of the present economic distress in Europe, the United States should cancel at least fifty per cent of the Allied war debt. Kingston upheld the negative of the question. Both teams did very well, but Kingston, because of its superiority in organization, delivery, and argument, the three points considered, came out the victor. This year, for the first time, the three man rebuttal was used in all debates. In former years, the one man rebuttal made it possible for a brilliant leader to lead an indifferent team to victory by means of a well worked out rebuttal. This year, however, it was necessary for every man to be able to think quickly and accurately before a team could stand any chance of victory. Poughkeepsie had, in Porter Shalian, an experienced, brilliant leader. She lacked, however, Kings- ton's team work. All three of Kingston's speakers were capable of leading a team, while lsaac Reuben as alternate did exceptionally good work. The victory over Poughkeepsie was hard earned and un- questionably well deserved. The debate for the championship was held at Newburgh with Kingston and Newburgh as opponents. Once more Kingston upheld the negative of the same question which was debated in the prelimin- aries. Newburgh put up an admirable fight. She made effective use of her material. Her delivery and organization were excellent. Many times, in the course of the direct speeches, things looked uncertain for Kingston. However, in the rebuttal, Kingston again showed her su- periority. One by one, Newburglfs arguments fell before the ruthless onslaught of Kingston 's debaters. Newburgh also did well in refuta- tion, but the debt funding plan advanced by Kingston stood like a rock of Gibralter against all attempts to overthrow it. lVhen the votes were opened, it was found that Kingston had convinced two of the judges that its team was superior to that of Newburgh. This 'vic- tory made Kingston High School once more the champion of its dis- trict, this being the second consecutive time that she has captured this honor. This year's victories may serve as an object lesson for all future teams since they well illustrate that only by long, hard hours of work can a debating team be successful. This year, for the first time, the second team debated an outside school. On the night before the championship debate at Newburgh, the second team went to Coxsackie where it debated a team represent- ing that village. The question was the same as that debated by the varsity. This time, however, Kingston upheld the affirmative. The battle was hard fought but the Kingstonians, profiting by their training with the champion varsity men, returned home victorious. This is the first year that Kingston has debated both sides of a question and not suffered defeat. 4. 2 Y 5 Q SECOND DEBATING TEAM LINCOLN DOUGLAS DEBATING SOCIETY 116 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. This year's varsity is composed entirely of men who have had no previous experience. Last year's team, the first championship team the school had ever developed, boasted of a leader who had already led a team through a fairly successful season. Much credit is due Miss Hull, Miss Keefe and Miss Noone who, by their tireless efforts in eo- operation with the team, made of raw material a smoothly working, thinking' machine which has brought honor to the school. The Lincoln-Douglas Debating Society. Orrienas. President ,...................... Mayer Koplovitz Yice-President .... ,- ......e............ John Clark Secretary and Treasurer ............ Jerome Lehner During the first month of the school year under the guidance of Miss Hull and Miss Keefe, the liincoln-Douglas Debating Club was organized for its third year of work at Kingston High School. An unusually large membership enabled the club to hold five trial debates on the following topics: Resolved, That the security of France demands a large standing army and universal service, Re- solved, That capital punishment should be abolished, Resolved, That New York City should own and control its transit lines, Resolved, That the power of federal government should be paramount to that ot' the state in the conservation of water supply and forests, Resolved, That the United States should withdraw its armed forces from the friendly governments of Haiti and Santo Domingo. According' to the opinion of those who were present at the trial debates, the participants in debating their various topics carried out this work very well and deserved to be congratulated. Judging from the results of these debates, K. H. S. can expect keen competition and henee a strong' debating team in 1924. Hamilton Prize Speaking Contest. Un Saturday morning, May 12, 1923, the annual Inter-Academic Prize Speaking' Contest was held at Hamilton College. Kingston for the fourth time had its representative there, who was none other than the leader of our victorious debating team, J. Solomon Roodney. Roodney was chosen by vote of the faculty in a preliminary contest held in assembly. In Albany he was given first place, which made him representative for this district in the finals which were to be held at Hamilton. At Hamilton he again excelled in the art of oratory. The school appreciates the splendid work of Roodney in winning the state championship for the glory of K. H. S. The Maroon, Iil11g'Sl0l1, N .Y. From K.

Hlvery well,', his inother said, suppose, then, that you give thanks for the things that you have given to others. The hey was pleased with the idezig so he very willingly knelt down and began his prayer. He thanked God for the Ill2lI'l5lCS and tops that he had given to his play- nizites, for the trzun of cars that he had presented to the little blind boy, and for one utter another of his blessings until the list grew so long that he thought he would never get tlirough. Finally. when he rose 120 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. from his knees he said with his face shining' with happiness, U, Mother, I never knew how perfectly wonderful God is. Thus as we, the Prisma, record our deeds at the end of another year, it seems as if we are following' the example of the little boy- counting' our little services and so gaining f1'esh courage to go ever forward. Un October the fourth the Prisma Society began its season by hold- ing' a County Fair in the Gym, lt was considered the most wonder- ful one of its kind outside of Poughkeepsie. ln November the freslnnan girls were invited to their annual party, the purpose of which was to make them feel at home. This year it was called a Variety Party. Now follows the month of December, the big month for Prisma! One hundred twenty-eight dolls were dressed, four quilts. were made, over four hundred articles of clothing' were collected, and for the first time, the auditorium and front corridor were decorated for Christmas. And the best part of it was, every one of these things went toward making' some one happy. The most noteworthy event in January was the Prisma banquet, which was held on the twenty-ninth of that month. On March the twenty-third, this society brought the Skidmore Glee Club to Kingston for a concert, the net proceeds of which were given to a most worthy fund, that of the Y. XV. C. A. This by no means includes all the things that Prisma has done, for throughout the year the girls have sold candy and book covers after school in the corridors, and on St. Valentine's Day, the Prisma girls helped to carry out the spirit of the day by selling sweet peas. Here again our work was not in vain, for by these sales, we earned enough money to buy a rug' for the rostrum, and also enough to send Dr. Gren- fell a check of twenty dollars with which to buy sweets and dolls for the crippled children of Labrador. Thus our records show that each year the responsibilities of Prisma are growing, and so we must be more loyal, more devoted, and keep our ideals lngh in order that the Prisma lights may continue to 0' Y low Z., .

Un XVednesday, October fourth, the 'tg'yn1 was transformed from a dull drill-room to a place of hilarious gaiety, for o11 that day the Piisma Society held the Amsirp County Fair. Since it was different from anything ever before held in K. ll. S., it attracted a large crowd, and everyone from the greenest freshman to the most sedate senior entered into the spirit of the frolie with true country enthusiasm. The decorations were very realistic, especially the gay, tlag'-bedecked booths and the much talked of side-shows. The fortune-teller 's booth, however, was the main attraction and even members of the faculty succumbed to the charms of the Magic Lady. Touches of local color were added by several very real Gypsies, a baby parade, and a pink lemonade and peanut booth. Every member of K. H. S. is looking' forward to the second annual Amsirp County Fair. ' ....-.qQyj-....

Frank Van Houten closed the program by making an ap- peal to the student body always to cherish the natural resources en- trusted to our care. Throughout the year the club accomplished many useful things for our friends of the air and field, and for the trees. Prominent among these activities was the feeding of the starving pheasants dur- ing the winter. The members scattered corn along the banks of creeks and brooks Where it could be easily found by the birds. The club also replaced the t1'ee planted by last year's club in memory of Miss Turner. Cn the little knoll nearest Miss Turner's room, a button-ball tree was set out, at the foot of which remains the small memorial stone. Although a minor organization, the members of tl1e Conservation Club will look back upon this year with happy thoughts, remembering the interesting times and useful learning' the club afforded them. ......1Qj.-....

Y. On April 11, the club brought Mr. Avis here to give his famous lecture, Bircllanfl. Mr. Avis is an ornithologist and bird mimic of no little repute. Throughout the lecture he used colored lantern slides to show the birds in their natural habitat and illustrated his talks with bird calls, both vocal and instrumental. This lecture, as have been all the others, was greatly appreciated by the large crowd in attendance. Next year, the society hopes to make a banner one, and to extend knowledge and appreciation of our feathered songsters and helpful neighbors. ' ....-qegj-.... Latin Club. President ............. ,- ....... J. Solomon Roodney Vice-President .............r......... Anna Gasool Secretary-Treasurer ..................... M. Taylor NVhen the first meeting of the Latin Club was held, considerable interest in the organization was shown by those eligible for member- ship. A membership list was signed and an executive committee elected so that the work of the club could start at once. At the first executive committee meeting a series of programs dealing with classical subjects was arranged and various members of the organization were assigned parts in the programs. Une of the most interesting of these programs was a discussion of the claims of Caesar and Cicero as world benefactors, the claims of each man being presented by a member of the club. The discussion was thoroughy enjoyed and was a very good example of how lively a classical subject can be when properly handled. A picture of Virgil which was presented to the club last year by Frederick Ehnes, the school artist of that year, was framed at the expense of the club. A picture of Cicero, beautifully drawn by Philip Fleischer, was presented to the club by its president. The club hopes soon to possess pictures of most of the great Greeks and Romans. During the year it was found that the constitution under which the club was acting was inadequate for its needs. A committee was appointed by the president to revise the constitution so that it would better meet the needs of the club. The Latin Club is still young, this being its second year of exist- ence. its iniiuence, however, has already been felt in the language and history departments of the school. lt has awakened a new interest in the classics. The club has made possible the attainment of an intimate knowledge of the classics in the delightful manner only known to those who have listened to and taken part in classical programs such as this organization has made part of its work. Although the year's program, as originally planned, was not car- ried to completion, so much good was derived from what was done that much may be expected from the club in future years when the club's work is brought to a successful end.

All the members deserve much credit for the hard, patient work without which their progress would have been impossible. The 1923 Glee Club was larger than those of previous years and on several occasions they pleasingly entertained the students in the morning' assembly. ...Q--iQ -a... The Lambert Murphy Concert. The Music Association realized one of its cherished ambitions when it brought to this city on Friday, November the seventeenth, the great- est American tenor, Lambert Murphy. The advance press notices con- cerning the great tenorls reputation made tremendous demands upon his powers as a singer, but the entire performance more than fulfilled the expectations of everyone. An American audience loves a real tenor, and that is what Lambert Murphy is. There is never anything but music, lovely music, in his singing. lt is the kind of music that will be a joy to think of for many a day to come. ...--iQi-.... The Rutgers' Concert.

Accordingly, on November 4th, the lirst dance of the year was held. The gymnasium, gaily decorated with the colors of the class, blue and gray, presented a pleasing sight. After an ll0l11',S enjoyment of dancing, refreshments were served and feature dances were given by the Misses Schmidt, Richards, and Tal- bot. The dancers then returned to their former diversion until a suit- able hour for departure. ...Q-iQ -Q... The A. A. Entertainment. The annual entertainment and dance of the Athletic Association was held at the high school on December the eighth. According to cus- tom, each student upon entering the building was given a ballot upon which to write the name of the one whom he thought the most popular athlete in the school. The students amused themselves in various ways until the polls were closed, after which the merry throng assembled in the auditorium where they were entertained by the Messrs. Zimmer and Coogan of New York and Mr. 'Dixon of our own city. Following this, President Mcliane announced that Ross Vogt had been elected the most popular athlete, and then presented to him a handsome silver cup as a token of his popularity. liveryone then returned to the gym where they were entertained by the aesthetic dancing of the Misses Richards and Talbot. The surprise of the evening was then sprung, when it was announced that Mlle. Koo Koo had been imported and would entertain the guests. Upon the conclusion of the entertainment, general dancing was enjoyed. - ...gliQ -n... The Junior Dance. The evening of December twenty-second marked one of the leading social events of the year, the juniors' Christmas dance. The gym- nasium was artistically decorated with red and green streamers and the balcony was eonve1'ted into an evergreen arbor, from which shaded lamps shed their light. The lmperial Orchestra played for the large number of students who attended the dance. This dance, at least in the opinion of the juniors, was one of the best ever held in K. H.

Y. SUMMARY OF GAME S. After two weeks of fundamentals, a Varsity squad was selected, and practice for the first game of the season at Middletown was begun. Here the Maroon defenders were destined to receive their first setback, the Asylum City team defeating them 6-0. The next week the team went to Port Jervis where they held the heavy eleven of that city to a 6-6 tie. On the following Saturday the first league game of the year was played at Poughkeepsie. During the first half of the fray our team gave a very poor exhibition of football, their numerous fumbles, mis- taking of signals, and lack of team work causing them many losses. Poughkeepsie, taking advantage of Kingston 's weaknesses, twice crossed the goal line and led at half time 1.3-0. However, when the third quarter started, our team staged a rally that kept the followers of the Bridge City team in constant fear as to the outcome. Une touch- down was scored and the team was fast advancing down the field for another when the Poughkeepsie eleven suddenly pulled itself together and, calling into aid all the reserve strength it could muster, held like a stone wall. From then on to the finish neither side was able to score, and we had to be content with the small end ofa 13-6 score. Newburgh High School was the next opponent, and as this was to be the first home game of the season for the locals they fully expected a reversal in fortune, but Fate deemed otherwise. After outplaying the invaders in practically every quarter, though failing to make any points, Kingston decided to play a defensive game in the last few minutes of the struggle, but they failed to take into consideration a certain Newburgh half back, Piellinger by name, who had long been planning to avenge the many defeats of his home town by Kingston, and who at this particular time was to upset all their hopes of victory by making a spectacular forty yard run to a touchdown. This bit of carelessness on the part of Kingston cost them another game, the score this time being Newburgh 7, Kingston 0. The Maroon and VVl1ite players were tttighting mad by this time. The next week saw them going through the most strenuous practice sessions of the year. Mr. Hermann, who had successfully coached the scrubs in 1921, was induced to come out and help arouse a better spirit among the fellows and also help in coaching the team. The result was that when Saratoga Springs came here the following Saturday, they were sent home smarting under the sting of an 18-7 score. The big game of the year came the next week when Poughkeepsie invaded Kingston. Once again the ill-fortune that had been following the team all year played its part. Early in the first quarter, Vogt, our star quarterback, was injured and forced out of the game. Xot an- other man was capable of taking his place. The loss of Vogt was so strongly felt that our offensive could do very little towards scoring any points, but fortunately our defensive was able to rise to the situation The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 143 and meet it. The line held strong and manzged to prevent any scoring by Poughkeepsie. A scoreless tie was the result. The next two games saw two more defeats charged against the local team. The first was at Newburgh, where the boys went down under a 20-0 defeat. The other was at Binghamton, where the worst defeat of the season befell the Maroon players as the distant city stars scored an avalanche of touchdowns while holding our men with- out a point. ln both these games, however, Kingston upheld its repu- tation of not quitting until the final whistle blew. Their splendid fighting spirit called forth much favorable comment. Just before the Binghamton game Kingston received its greatest material set-back in the loss of Colvin, who had lett school. As he had been the mainstay of the backfield all season, his loss at this time seemed irreparable. Added to this misfortune, Captain Davis, the bulwark of Kingston's defense, was injured in the Binghamton game and was forced off the gridiron for the remainder of the season. This not sutficing, word was received that Faulk, the utility half back, had undergone a serious operation and was out for the season. Thus with most of the season over, Coach Hermann was charged with the task of developing a new backfield for the remaining games, and the mentor is deserving of much praise for the way in which he accomplished it. The best game of the year was played against Stuyvesant lligh School, champions of the metropolitan district. In the first half, our players taught the Big City , eleven a lesson in the fine points of football, and led at half time 7-0. ln the third quarter, XVhalen, the Stuyvesant quarterback, showed why he was considered the best man in New York for his position, by evading the Kingston defense and racing to a touchdown. The teams played on even terms for a while and then just thirty odd seconds before the end of the game, Vtfhaleu once again stepped in the limelight by kicking a field goal. This cost Kingston a defeat, but the remarkable showing we made against the champions of New York gave us an enviable reputation in the metro- politan district. The last game of the year was played against St. Stephen's second team. In this game Kingston gained one of its few victories, and al- though for a time it appeared as if this game was also to be lost, we managed to keep our early lead and end the worst season in the annals of K. H. S. with a victory. ...Q-1QQj-.... Second Team F ootball. Vtlhilc the second football eleven did not fare so well, as far as the actual winning of games was concerned, still the men showed so splen- did a fighting spirit, so much grit and determination in the face of overwhelming odds, that it seems beyond all doubt, that next year's varsity will avenge the defeats suifered by this yearls team. :Coach F W TEAM ETB-ALL SK VARSITY BA The Maroon, Kingston, N.

To be sure the record, ten games won and five lost, does not seem to warrant this statement, but its verity is evident when one knows that in these five games lost, our opponents outscored the Maroon team by only 17 points. 146 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. And, furthermore, in only one of these tive games was Kingston repre- sented by the team shown in the picture, as the Win kept several of the best players out of the game at the most inopportune times. The team began the season with three victories from Ellenville, Hudson, and the K. H. S. Alumni. The next three games were as promptly dropped, principally because of the reason stated above-a weakened team due to sickness. The scores, however, were close as we lost successively by two, three, and tive points. Of the next six games we lost two. The first was to Poughkeepsie, who, although generally outplayed, came out with the bigger score, because of the unfailing eye of their foul shooter. Ellenville also refused to be beaten. Newburgh, Hudson, Saugerties, and St. Stephen's seconds, however, were out- classed, the latter two rather distressingly. The close of the season was an exact duplicate of the start'-three successive wins. The New York Military Academy of Cornwall came to Kingston with a long string of victories only, much to their astonishment, to have their record disturbingly marred. The score tells the story, N. Y. M. A., 20, Kingston, 32. The Triangles, next in li11e, faced the school team loaded with stars. In spite of all their precautions, however, the Maroon team repeated its victory of the week before with equal brilliancy. The next week the team travelled to Margaretville where the season was suc- cessfully closed. KHS PP SCHEDULE.

To keep this record up with but three veterans of last year's team around whom to develop a winning nine was the task -which faced the mentors. But never has King'ston High School been known to shirk a task in the face of overwhelming odds, and so with some sixty men out for positions Coach Perry started the work of sifting out, developing, and coaching the men. Having played for four years on the Hamilton College nine, Coach Perry soon showed that his college training had not been in vain. Selecting the best players from his squad of green material, he kept drilling his men on the fundamentals of baseball until another winning team was developed. Poughkeepsie fell before the Maroon nine, as did Middletown and Molionk, the latter failing to score a single run against our splendid defense, while our heavy hitting accounted for thirteen runs. Saugerties also was easily vanquished. As the Maroon goes to press, prospects for another championship are extremely hopeful. All the men are playing good ball, both on the defense and in their hitting power. Vogt, McLane, and Howard, the three veterans, are proving themselves of great help to the team while the new men are at present playing sensational ball. Wie feel quite confident that Kingston High School will annex the Hudson Valley baseball championship for the fourth consecutive time and be the first to win that title under the new inter-scholastic league.

Although the Kingston High School Track Team of this year failed to win first place in any of its meets, still the team was without doubt one of the best the school has ever developed. The first meet to which the school sent its representatives was at Cornwall on May 12. Here our athletes made a very creditable showing, four first places going to Y , VARSITY TRACK TEAM The Maroon Kingston N. Y. 151 7 n, 7 Kingston men. Mac Faddcn won the high jump, Carroll won out in the broad jump, Van Houten showed the way in the half-mile run, and Davenport took tirst place in the shot-put. All the other events went to Cornwall and enabled that school to come out with the larger score. The inter-scholastic meet was held May 19 at Poughkeepsie. Our athletes again showed up very wellg but the stiff opposition offered by the other schools, especially Port Jervis which won first place, pre- vented the Maroon men from capturing the cup. However, Kingston took the next best place, two of the nien winning first places. They were Captain Allan Powley, who won the 220 yard run, and Carroll, who captured the broad jump. Both these men will represent Kingston High School at the New York State track meet at Schenectady. ....-iQi-.... Tennis. As far as matches are concerned, this year's tennis team has a brighter outlook than ever before. lklanager Stelle has been fortunate in securing the finest lot of rivals along the Hudson. The schedule is as follows: May 12, :tAlbany Academy at Kingston. 9513. M., Stone School at Cornwall. May 26, St. Stephen's at Kingston. May 28, Stone School at Kingston. May 30, Albany High School at Kingston. June 2, N. Y. M. A. at Cornwall. June 9, Albany High School at Albany. June 16, St. Stephen 's at Annandale. Captain Mac Fadden had every reason to be discouraged the first of the season, because two of last year's men were debarred from com- peting. Only Stelle and Mac Fadden were left, while the others trying out for the team lacked experience. Two others of the most experienced of these were cut because of scholastic ruling. However, hope burst forth anew when others came out for the squad, and the team, as it probably will line up for the remainder of its matches will be Mac Fad- den, Stelle, Merine, Herzog, and perhaps, should they improve with practice, Clayton, Baylor, or Longyear. In their match with Stone School, the team lost, 3-2, showing a lack of practice twhich can be overcomej and a fighting spirit which will carry them far. Stelle and Mac Fadden showed splendid tennis against poor opposition in doubles. Postponed on account of rain. 5 . M TEA TENNIS VARSITY The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 153 Interclass Basketball League. Once again the senior class demonstrated its supremacy in the Interclass League by outplaying and outscoring all its opponents and capturing all its games but one. The interest in the class league was greatly increased over former years, and each class played its best in order to win the championship. The sophomores presented the strongest lineup and, for a time, seemed the most likely winners, but the seniors made use of their experience, and, led by Captain Messinger, overwhelmingly defeated the sophomores in the deciding game. After winning the class league, the team sought new laurels by meeting a team composed of faculty members. In a very interesting and fast game, the seniors again proved their ability on the court by emerging the victors, the score being 19-12. ....-4-qQy-3-.... Girls' Athletics. Hercules, with his strong, guarding hand, has watched faithfully over the boys' athletic teams, but it seems as if, at theptime, he turned his back directly upon the girls' teams, and so discouraging was his disdain, that one by o11e the varsities deserted his banner until none were left.. Fate, with eager eyes, had been waiting only for a chance to step in and take the negligent god's place. Her method of procedure was first to send to us a youthful, inspiring teacher, who through her earnest endeavor brought the girls' athletics into a prom- inent place. She formulated a brand new plan-that of the girls' athletic league. The A. A. council first selected three girls from each class to form what it known as the A. A. league council. These girls, chosen with considerable deliberation and prudence are as follows: Seniors-Margaret Elmendorf, Ethel Schafer, Elizabeth Arlt. Juniors-Margaret Halliday, Margaret Scott, Margaret Kniskern. Sophomores-Janet Brown, Marion Cassler, Ottilia Riccobono. Freshmen-Anna Cipnic, Helen Strickland, Sylvia Rclyea. This league elected as officers, who were to represent them on the A. A. council: Margaret Elmendorf .... -,---,-, P resident Ethel Schafer ......... ............ X 'ice-President 3I3f'g'211'Ct Scott ......................... Secretary In the place of 0118 varsity basketball team,.which represented the girls under the abandoned scheme, there sprung up twelve teams. Each clasps was represented by a basketball, an endball, and a newcomb team. The senior basketball team, captained by lVilla Van Vliet, once more captured the championship, for this team is no other than the one E 31 LA. 15-1 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. which l1as l1eld tl1e class cl1an1pio11sl1ip for four straight years. The senior endball and newcomb teams, captained by A111121 DelVitt and Charlotte Russell respectively, were, 011 the whole, quite successful, but tl1ey did 110t come up to the standard of tl1eir basketball sisters. A11d IIOVV, alas! come the poor, meager juniors, wl1o were truly Hlost in tl1e shuttle . Nevertheless a little of the swelled head com- plaintw wl1icl1 is the most contagious disease among tl1e juniors, was certainly take11 out of them. Their basketball team was captained by Marion Philips, wl1ile their endball Ellltl 11CXVCOII1b teams were led by Gertrude Falvey Ellld Catherine Carnright. Tl1e sophomores, o11r growing athletes, strove i11 Vkllll to keep pace with the mighty seniors, and almost succeeded. Their basketball team was captained by Gertrude Walker, their endball, by Mary Bott, and their newcomb, by Marion Healy. Three cheers for tl1e winners! The verdant little freshmen showed tl1e school tl1at tl1ey weren't so t'slow after all, for although their basketball team came to a very sad end, their endball and 11ew- comb teams were the class champions. The captain of their basketball team was H8lQ11 Bri gham, while the captains of their Gllllbilll illld 11ew- comb teams were Natalie DeVVitt and Evelyn Brigham. For o11ce the girls of the school were to have a. square deal! Letters and 11un1erals were to be given to all girls wl1o played in at least seventy-tive per CC11t of the games, that is, providing they were A. A. members and '4up i11 their subjects. The girls, anxious for SOH10 form of athletics cooperated i11 every way to make this plan a boom- ing success. SCORE.

This was k11ow11 as the Harvard-Yale game Zllld scheduled for April Gth. The freshmen rep- resented Yale while tl1e other picked teams represented Harvard. These two games were the most exciting and best attended of t11e sca- son. There was constant cheering from both sides, and i11 this awful din the freshmen wrested the Cl13l1lpl011Sl1lp of both endball fllld 11ew- comb from the hands of the three other classes. The endball resulted in a score of 2-1, while the newcomb game was held with a score of 44-35. 1 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 155 At the end of the basketball season the seniors and sophomores were tied for the championship, and, therefore, the tie was played off on April third, which resulted in a score of 12-9 in favor of the grim- faced. hard-hitting seniors. The winners of this game were scheduled to play the faculty team on April fifth. As everyone anticipated, this was a very exciting as well as amusing game, and the senior girls had no easy time in keep- ing pace with the teachers. ln this game of brawn against brains, brawn as usual, wo11 with a score of 12-11. ln the spring, class baseball teams were formed. The seniors formed one team and chose as their captain, Edna Spikes. Three teams were formed by the juniors with Sarah DelVitt, Gertrude Shader, and Margaret Carroll as captains. The sophs and freshmen, again out- doing the upper classmen, formed four teams each. The sophomores chose as their captains, Katherine Terpening, Mary Leavitt, Sarah Perlman, and Helen Byrne, while the freshmen captains are Dolores Cashin, Katherine Brink, Geneva Bowers, and Priscilla Davis. These teams were divided into two leagues, the Blue and the Gold. Each league consists of six teams, and as a result there is great com- petition. Notwithstanding that this plan was entirely new it has received the ardent support of all of the girls. More girls, under this system, have been given a chance to have a part in athletics, and they have grasped the opportunity. ...n-1Qjjin... A BAKER'S DUZZEN 'UV NVIZE SAXVZ.

They rhyme of bliss in love's sweet kiss, A bliss that none can tell. For ages they 've been singing The praise of ruby Wine,- Alljoys most rare, but none compare lllith tackling 'hind the line. Give me the football battle, The quarter-back's signal call, The rush that fills the heart with thrills, The line that's like a Wall. Give me the hard 'fought scrimmage, The joy almost divine, NVhen like a rock We stand the shock And tackle 'hind the line. The music has long been singing The joy a half-back feels VVhen like a flash he makes a dash And shows the bunch his heels. His joy may be ecstatic, It can't be more than mine Vllhen, with a smile, amid the pile I tackle 'hind the line. To smash the interference Fills me with heartfelt glee. To make a lunge and stop a plunge Is more than gold to me. In running with the pigskin I ne 'er was known to shine, But I can hew my way clear through And tackle 'hind the line. There may be joys in Heaven More tender and more tame, But I don't care to go there Unless they play the game. There's gridirons down in Hades, But even there I'd pine To be once more on this fair shore To tackle 'hind the line. -Ross Veer U Ai! U Q ,- Q Xi E HUMOR 1 Y m NY Q gi W ' M w .ik M Nt!!
