He l1elps develop 111911 Ellld wo111e11 so that 1 they IIIHY be able to uphold and spread the high standards L l and ideals ot our connnunity, ot our country. This is a great work a11d a great service for which too high praise cannot be given. Dr. Michael, for half a century, has been carrying on this worthy work witl1 distinguished success. The people of Kingston have, indeed, been fortunate to have such a nian as Myron J. Michael directing the educational systeni. He received his early education i11 rural schools. He then went to Clinton Liberal 'Institute and Military School at Fort Plain, New York, from wl1icl1 he was graduated in 1867. This preparatory school was attended by students 110111 all over the country and has turned out soine very pro111inent people, s11ch as Clara Barton a11d Grover Cleveland. ln 1875 ljrofessor Michael graduated froin Tufts College, froin which institution he received his Master of Arts, his Bachelor of Arts, and i11 1923 his Pd. D. degrees. For ten years after his graduation from Tufts, Dr. Michael taught at several schools i11 the MohawkValley, the first of which was at Palatine Bridge. Because of his ability and personality, he rose in the teaching world, Hlld in 1885, he becaine Superintendent of Schools at Ronie, New York. He held this position for several years, 11ntil he hecanie President of Clinton Liberal Insti- tute Hlld Military School, where he was in charge lllltll 1893, when he becaine principal ot' old Kingston Acade111y. ,ln 1900 Professor Michael hecaine Superintendent of Schools in Kingston, in which position he still inaintaining for our schools a very high standard. Dr. Michael has become proininent in the educational world, not only i11 Kingston, but also throughout the state. His uniinpeachable character, his 111arvelous self-control, his tact, his perseverance, his sy111patl1y, a11d his pleasing personality have wo11 for l1i111 universal regard. A student of the Kingston schools known to have said that during the ti111e he was in school, l1e never heard a disrespectful word spoken about Dr. Michael by ally of tl1e other students. 1Ye have, i11- deed, lJ9Q11 fortunate to have been under the influence of such a inan as Dr. Michael, a11d it is our ardent hope that for inany years our educa- tional systein 111ay re111ai11 under the wise guidance of this great teacher and cultured gentleman. MYRON J. MICHAEL, PD.

Her manifold activities in the interest of the high school domestic science department, of woman suffrage, and of public health, brought her in touch with many classes of people.

As infants the class showed its marked ability and skill by taking the first prize, offered by Rose-Gorman-liose, for the most attractive window display. lt was in this year also, that a green little freshman outdistanced his older brothers in the race for the animal scholarship prize. During their childhood days the class added athletics to its accomplishments. The girls tied the seniors for the basketball cham- pionship while the boys introduced the future varsity stars to the ath- letic world. In their youth, gay, frivolous youth, they demonstrated to the seniors just how a school dance should be conducted in order that all might have the best time possible. And then, resolving to be better students than their predecessors, the seniors put away their childish things and turned to their last happy, though, busy year. Under the kind and thoughtful guidance of the faculty advisers, Miss McCullough, Miss Manning and Mr. Culver, the class organized on October sixth and elected lVilbur Tetley, presi- dent, Helen Byrne, vice-president, Marion Beehler, secretary, and Ellery Morris, treasurer. Hiork was begun immediately. The Zllarocn Staff was selected so that the book might be completed at an early date. A dance committee was then appointed. This committee arranged for a most delightful dance which was held on Thanksgiving evening, November the twenty-seventh. Deciding not to be slow in anything, the glass soon Ehose their rings which they proudly displayed before t e 'iristmas olidays. During the second semester the class was deprived, for several weeks, of two of its faculty advisers, because of illness, Miss Mary E. Noone and Miss Margaret Mctlullough. Both teachers were' greatly missed, and their return was anticipated by the entire school. On February sixth the class play, Grumpy, was presented, the lirst mystery play to be given at Kingston High School. An account of this production is given elsewhere in this book. Early in April the May Queen, Helen Byrne, was elected. VVe may be sure this May Day will be gayer and more picturesque than any that has been given so far, judging by the preparations which are be- ing made as this book goes to print. NVe have our reward in the friendships we have made, the pleas- ures we have enjoyed, and the knowledge we have attained under the leadership and assistance of our faculty. And, just as this is a year of solar eclipse, so it is also, a year of Senior eclipse, for in our hearts our Senior Class surpasses all others. 1 RUBY M.

Xi! X x..,EX N The Junior Class of K. H. S. The class of 1926 held its iirst ineeting in Xoveinber, 1924, and elected the following otiicers for the school ycar: John O'Connor, President, Christabel O'Reilly, Vice-Presidentg Natalie S. DelVitt, Secretaryg Roland Green, Treasurer. The class has been skillfully advised by the following ineinbers of the faculty: Mrs. Wlitter, Miss Hussey, Mr. Stuart, and the principal, M r. Van lngcn. At the meeting following'the election of officers the juniors chose royal blue and gold for their colors. On December nineteenth the class held its Christmas dance in the high school gyninasiuin. This event was a great success both socially and financially. Now that the juniors have weathered the StO1'll1 of freshman hazing, the Hood of sophomore conceit and the wave of junior success, they approach their senior year in Kingston High School with expec- tations of greater triuinphs. Si' Xl 5 ax 6 l Sophomore Class ln nineteen twenty-three we entered Kingston High School, most of us very ill at ease in such a large institution, and feeling that We lacked some essential elements other classes appeared to have. VS7e were fearful and abashed by our seeming inferiority. However, We soon overcame this feeling and began to acquire an Hat homel' feeling in K. H. S. lVe have taken active parts in the various social, athletic, and scholastic events of the year. ln the class basketball league the sopho- more team under Captain Ed. O'Reilly, took third place. Sophomore girls retained the glory which they won in hockey last year by defeat- ing the other class teams, even the mighty seniors. They were led to victory by Captain Beverly Schmidt, Ellanor Champlin, and Margaret Falvey. In basketball the sophomore teams, captained by Priscilla Davis and Martha Gold, were beaten, despite some very creditable playing. Captains Dorothy Maines, endball, and Elsie G-ill, Newcomb, led their teams in some hard but futile games. We have played hard and worked hard and so prepared ourselves to merit the title so soon to be ours-Upper-classmen. L .! Xi Freshman Class The freshman class of tl1is year, as usual in previous years, made no attempt to organize. However, they are by no means a negligible quantity in the life of the school. Tl1e 1928 boys' class basketball team successfully captained by John Cullum, will long be remembered in the athletic history of K. H. S. as the only l'reshman team that has ever won the class championship. The class was also represented on the football squad by one of their members, John lVatts. Perhaps the girls have not been so successful in attaining honors, but they have certainly worked their hardest at the various girls' sports, hockey, basketball, Newcomb, and end ball, and have won the respect of the upperclassmen by their fair play and good sportsmanship. Besides athletics, the freshmen were allowed to enter the Home Lighting Contest, and the first prize, fifteen dollars in gold, was won by Burton Van Deusen, a member of the class. The f' l - ' ' ' ies imen also paitieipated in the other school activities. Th g g ' is iave freshmen on their membership rolls. ln some eases the freshmen are officers of the organizations and are successfully filling their positions. ln the meantime the freshmen have a large percentage of represen- tatiygs on the honor roll.

The Eclipse One of the greatest events of this, the most eventful year of the class of 1925, was the total eclipse of the sun which occurred January 24. On that morning millions of people cast anxious glances towards the clouds which obscured the sun in the early morning hours. Every- one was expectant and excited. Most of the people had never before been fortunate enough to witness such a wonderful spectacle as the one which they were anticipating. By 8:00 o'clock, however, the time at which the moon began cutting off the sunts rays, the sky was perfect. At 9:12 the sun was completely hidden and the beautiful corona was silhouetting the disc of the moon. By 10 :30, the total eclipse of 1925 was a matter of history. No one who was fortunate enough to see that awe-inspiring spectacle will ever forget it. The eclipse furnishing us a motive alld a motif, we, the staff of the Maroon of 1925, have called this issue The lilclipse Numberi' and have tried consistently to use the design for cover and art work. While it may be too much to claim that we have completely eclipsed other Mrlroons, we are certain that if the book does not justify our ambition it is not for want of effort on the part of the staff. We have done our best to make the Jlarofm worthy of interest and satisfaction, and we hope that, at least in some svnall measure, we may have succeeded. Right-About Face Although Kingston High School is a place where honor and hon- esty are practiced by the student body, as a whole, we find ourselves delinquent in certain small respects. lt is not that we are wilfully dis- honest, but that we do not realize the significance of small transgres- sions. Wie do not conceive that copying someoneys test paper or bor- rowing a book report may serve as an opening wedge for robbing a bank or forging a check. The student body has been considering this matter rather seri- ously this year. The following school incident will show how one boy right-about-facedu in the matter of book reports. Une bright morning in April, Jack Brereton ran up High School Hill, shed his coat on the locker-room steps, and reached his seat in room thirteen just as the tardy bell rang. Narrow escape, whispered the boy in front of him. Just made it, didn 't I? agreed Jack. I was out late last night, and slept through the alarm this morning. By the way, Jim, what's our English? 1 haven't a lesson done! Book report, came the dread reply. Ye godsf, gasped Jack, I forgot all about it! Jim, haven't you an old report you can lend me? V W . v Phe Maroon, Kingston, B. Y. Si t'Why, I guess so, said Jim. You can tix up this one on 'The Southernerf Thanks said Jack H ou're a life-saver. ! 3 The assembly bell rang just then, so Jack had no chance to read the report until the speaker arose and gave his opening remarks. Jack t k . . . oo out the report, being careful that It be not tangent to the radius of a certain teacher's eyes. Let's see, he mused, 'tto forestall her inquiries about any inci- dent in the story, I'll mention, at first that the story is so well known that I shall not bore the class by repeating it. Then I'll give these points about the author. And-J' Suddenly two words smote his ear. Someone had said book re-A ports very loudly. Jack lowered the papers, and glanced round guiltily. It was the speaker. ln the case of book reports, he was saying, 'tany person who will come to school unprepared and use someone's else book report for his own is a thief! I see several of you smiling. You, no doubt think this an extravagant statement, but it is not. lt is the principle of the thing that matters. You are cowardly! You value a teacher's wrong estimate of your abilitv, and the public's wrong belief in ou more . T 3 Y than you value your honor. A person who does this is just as much a th' f 1 J ' ie as he vs ho uses another s money, or forges another's name. Most of all, it is what such a small deed involves Through your one thoughtless, weak act, not only you but the persongfrom whom you borrowed is k d ' ' ' ' ' , mar e as dishonest, for the lender often realizes the wrong but does not refuse aid for fear of offending you. He also is dis- honest, and dishonesty is a stain. Jack's face was burning. He looked over at Jim. Jim hadn't Wait d t ' ' i 1 e o give him the report. He had conrteously helped Jack to be d1sl1onest! Jack sat in a daze through the closing exercises The s eaker's . . p ideas were all new to him. He had never viewed things in that light b f ' e ore. Of course he knew one should do his own work, but he had never looked ahead so far as this. In the corridor outside, he overtook Jim, and thrust the book re- port into his hand. 'S' matter? asked Jim, no goodtu Yes, said Jack, t'it's fine. And then because, boy-like, he wished to 'tface the music, he added, Thanks just the same, Jim, but 1 find l don't need it after all. But Jim, being a boy also, looked into his friend's eyes, and under- stood. t'Shake, said Jim. 82 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. Friends They say that books are friends, but let us turn the metaphor around the other way. As there are different types of books, so there are different types of people and different kinds of friends to suit our various moods. Our teachers are like the classics. Nile like tl1en1, but at first we are rather afraid to tackle them. They are a little deep for us, perhaps, and we do not fully appreciate what they can and do give us and what an inspiration and help they are. Now after four years we are just beginning to appreciate their loyalty and friendship just as we are beginning to see a profounder significance and a greater beauty in classic literature. Our acquaintances are like popular novels. lYe know them and like them and then they pass out of our lives. They amuse us for :1 time-that is all-but they lack the depth and wealth of feeling found in What Ruskin would call books for all time. Our intimate friends are like the books we enjoy best and love longest. 'We choose them as lasting sources of comfort and satisfac- tion as we choose our real friends. Let us keep the shelves of this library of friendship well filled. The number of its volumes will in- crease as we go on through life but the well-thumbed, dearly loved K. H. S. volumes will be the ones we treasure most. 1-l.-9.- The Musical Side of School Life VVhen I first started school 1 knew a boy who thought school a drudgery and who was always wishing he did not have four years to go. He said school was tiresome as it meant the same old thing week after week. He managed to get through the tirst two years, but most of his marks were very close. At the beginning of the third year he heard that some instruments were to be given out to students who wished to learn to play them. He was persuaded to see if he could get one. He secured a clarinet. After the first few lessons he became greatly inter- ested. He quickly got into the band and later into the orchestra. He seemed to take new interest in his studies and in school life as a whole. ifihis practicing and playing seemed to relieve the monotony of school 1 e. A person may develop talent for playing some instrument although he has never suspected that he has such ability. One does his bit, too, by playing in the orchestra and band. lf he can learn to play some one instrument well, he can earn pocket money by playing for dances or entertainments. When he goes to college his music may help him to make friends, as well as to serve his college. The Maroon, Kingston. X. Y. '33 Giving Value Received A commercial paper always represents value received. lt is u symbol of work done, exchange satisfactorily achieved, or of acceptable collateral. lf a person accepts money for labor knowing that he has not given value received he is most certainly a cheat. Just the other day as I was crossing theXVest Shore tracks, ,l noticed some of the men who had taken a few of the planks up and who were supposed to be working. I stopped for a moment to watch them and this is what l observed. About ten men stood, each leaning on his shovel, looking first at a pilel of gravel a short distance away and then at a hole under the planks as much as to say, 'tNow that gravel has to be transported from that heap over there to this hole over here and I wonder how it can be done with the least exertion on my part l After lengthy delib- eration they finally seemed to decide that perhaps a few gravel could be carried on a shovel. These strong laborers slowly turned toward the gravel pile. No sooner had they started than they heard the faint whistle of a train in the distance ,lmmediatelv they dro ed th ' , . , . . -V Q pp eir shovels, placed their hands in their pockets, and stood idly gossiping until the train finally came into sight and receded from view in the opposite direction. They most certainly were not giving 'tvalue received and had no right to claim compensation for time they had wasted and for work they had not done. Recently my attention was drawn to a student in High School be- cause he made himself annoying and took my time from my work. l'nable to study ,l, watched him to see what he was doing and saw that he sat there not only whiling away his own time, but, worse perhaps wasting the time of the other students. The presiding teacher stepped out of the room for a moment and the idler began to make all the noise he possibly could, besides throwing projectiles about, endeavor- ing to hit someone, 'thereby making it very diliicult for the other stu- dents to obtain the maximum results from their studies. This idler continued wasting his time until it was only ten minutes before the bell would ring when he hastily passed a note to another boy and secured his hard earned geometry lesson, which he proceeded to copy very care-- fully. This so-called student was not giving any more value receivedl' than the men were in the other instance. He was really a thief, for he was stealing from the teacher an opinion which did not belong to him, and a mark which he did not deserve. He was also a liar in that he was setting himself up under false standards. This shows that value received also plays the same role in our school life as it does in the laborer's life, for if we, as students, fail to do our best, we, as well as the laborers evade the full meaning of the term value received. Do not the state, the city, and ultimately our parents pay for our education and thus are we not under great obliga- tion to them? By obligation .ll mean making the most of the opportun- ities offered and so preparing ourselves for individual responsibility. MILTON lflLMENDORF. ,X ,. v v filiinr-I WA gr' lhe Maroon,Yllingstomg. X. Thought and Appreciation Do you know that some of us go through life striving mightily to be happy, and iinding happiness as elusive as a will-o'-the-wisp? Oh, yes, we hurry and crowd, or are carefree and merry. VVe have a good time,', perhaps, but we do not obtain true enjoyment and content- ment. The truly happy person has hold of deeper things which can- not but give him the satisfaction he desires. We err in our search for happiness because we do not think. Now, I know that is hard for you to swallow, being high school students, and not college professors! l do not mean strenuous, deep thinking such as you connect with your hardest school work, but clear, generous thinking in dealing with the things of life, in meeting your friends, and in taking your recreation. We do not give the right kind of thought to the common, everyday things about us. How many things we pass over with scorn and abuse, or give no attention at all! Wie do not have insight and imagination, and, when we do not possess these qualities, we certainly cannot hope to have that genuine attribute, called appre- ciation. Appreciation in itself rounds out our minds and gives us as thorough a pleasure as we can ever hope to have. Plainly, l, mean that if we put thought into, and have an appreciation of, life as it comes to us, we shall get enjoyment from it. For example, how many of you are always dissatisfied with the weather? Yet, if you stop to think about it, you know that it is good to have it rain and good to have it shine. When you are tired of walk- ing dusty, ordinary streets, do you want to make a bolt for the coun- try? But, perhaps, if you do you do not have any conception of the beauty of the trees along the way, of the Howers, the sky, or the grace- ful architecture of the houses you are passing. Perhaps you are disgusted with circumstances, with people, or with your work. Think about it. You know there is good in every- thing, waiting for you to see it. Be liberal enough to hunt it out in your imagination. This habit of seeing things liberally, purely, and appreciatively, will make the best kind of optimist of you. If you will learn how, you will find enjoyment in putting thought on serious things. Application and thought will make you begin to appreciate your studies, and to respect the refined and beautiful every- where. The serious, or the profoundly beautiful need not be repellant to you when you want to be gay, but will add to your gayety a finer touch of bliss than you have ever known. Student: Miss Somes, have you that new book of Winston Churchill's, In a teacup? LITERARY SG The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. ,, zs -. ff? -ev-7 f Nina,s Conquest Junior-Senior Short Story Contest Fmsr Pizlzu At the mere age of nine years, two months, and twelve days, Nina Evans sensed the thrill of that particular ,joy which comes to the heart of the eternal fe111i11ine when she has made a conquest. ln Nina's case, she had triumphed over Johnny Peters, aged eleven. The two year's difference in their ages had really started the whole trouble, for Johnny, feeling his superiority in that he possessed two years more than did Nina, took delight in treating her with an almost paternal affection-and, quite naturally, Nina resented this attitude. lt was inevitable 'that matters should take a turn. For several months, it had been Johnny's custom to meet Nina before the schoolhouse at dismissal time. He would relieve her of her school bag and they would walk homeward together-they were next door neighbors. A casual observer might say, NVhat a perfect little gentleman he isf, lndeed, Nina herself saw Johnny in that light when they lirst became acquainted. Since that time, she was moved to change her opinion of him, for Johnny had become a veritable tease. He had suddenly acquired the obnoxious habit of using great long awe-inspiring words. .He could not possibly understand their actual meanings-there was comfort in that thought for Nina, but since she herself could not comprehend their signiticanee, how could she prove her suspicions of his ignorance? Thus, Ninals whole being became possessed of a desire some day to use a word which should baffle even the indomitable Johnny. She started proceedings to find the important word, and, even though her progress was slow, she was quite prepared to grasp the opportunity when it finally arrived. This is how it happened? Nina was coming down the stairway in her home, one day, when she heard her mother's voice speaking to someone over the telephone, Yes, Mrs. Walters, I heard about the tire last night. They say M rs. Brent was quite petri- fied, K 4 if 3? IK 77 But Nina waited to hear no more. Breathlessly she ran upstairs, and as best she could, wrote down, on a slip of paper, the word p-e-t-t-r-e-e-f-i-d-e. Next, she contemplated ways and means whereby she might use the word in the presence of Johnny. Of one thing she was certain, there had been a tire where Mrs. Brent had been petriiied. Surely then it must mean she was burned. Alas, poor Nina. The next day after school, everything began as usual, that is to say, for Johnny. He met Nina, relieved her of her school bag, and to- gether they commenced the walk homeward. Everything did not go as usual-for Nina. She gave Johnny no opportunity to open the con- versation by nonchalantly using those lengthy words. lnstead, she started him and asserted herself, by saying, 'tllidja hear 'bout the tire V' ' lhe lXl2LI'0QI1,lilI1gEgl, X. Y. - 31 at Brent's last night? His reply was cuttingly brief, HUh-huh. Undaunted, and feeling quite important, she continued, 'ti-Xn' Mrs. Brent was pet-tree-fide l' at 'E she stopped, half expecting him to gaze at her in open-mouthed wonder. But he didn't. He merely responded, Well, l, guess yould be scared too, moreln Mrs, Brent Wasf, Nina felt a sickening sense of defeat. Then, hopefully, she asked, t' You, you mean burned, donltcha V' She heard Johnny's taunt- ing reply, Haw, haw, so you thought petrified meant burned, eh? Haw, haw- and she waited to hear no more. But there was an in- dignant red spot on each cheek, as she snatched her schoolbag from him, and started ahead at a quickened pace. We repeat poor Nina! She walked one block, and then another before she y o ld d ' , ' v u a mit, even to herself, that it seemed an unusually lbng distance to her home, tl t 1 - '- W A ' ia t ie schoolbag was becoming heavy, and that it was ever so 'lone- somel walking alone. Already she was beginning to regret her hasty departure, and as she walked, she reflected-and re fretted. S lN1na never knew exactly how what happened next did happen, she was merely aware that suddenly she slipped, and that as she fell, she dropped her schoolbag from whence issued forth the contents. The next thing she knew was that an extremely penitent Johnny helped her to her feet, and set her down on a stone wall, before he went to pick up the schoolbag with the supply of books, papers, and pencils that were scattered about. He held her hand as together they continued the walk. Not once did he attempt the slightest superiority, he was quite sub- dued. And that is the very reason why Nina felt the thrill of a con- quest! A slip of the foot has caused her to be his conqueror where a slip of the tongue had failed. By the time they reached the gateway before Nina's home, Johnny had been fully assured of Nina's forgiveness, and she of his kindlier conduct in the future. Undoubtedly, Nina did not exactly realize it-you know, she was only nine years old-but she had proved her belief in the adage to err is human, to forgive is divinef, Minnnnn Gonnnsno. -i-ago--1 The Pipes of Pan Junior-Senior Essay Contest FIRST PRIZE l am optimistic enough to think that deep in the hearts of us poor lack-lustre mortals there is still an irrepressible response to the prime- val call of youth and nature. Suppress it, combat it as you will, you gray-headed XVall Street wizards, weary professors and pert Happers, the urge IS there, confessing over and over the old, old lure of immortal Pan and his fairy pipes. So, if l tell you that you may really hear this magic music, I know you will be interested despite your sensible selves. 88 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. Ah, do not deny it, for it will do you no good. There is a tug at your heartstrings at the first mention of my invitation, a tug that will per- sist even when I tell you baldly that you must get up at 5:30 A. M, to cure it. The early rising might have been much worse after all, don't you think? Here we are, at the edge of a dewy green field surrounded by great trees, a stone wall, and a high craggy hill. A deep hush hangs Over everything, and the transparent blue-green sky with its promise of coming glory in the east, seems ethereal and far away. Hush! lllhat is that? You strain your ear, and catch it again, a single faint, liquid note followed by a cheery lilting earol. Truly, you think, it is the prelude to the pipes of Pan. You instinctively glance toward the wooded hill, and on the topmost twig of a dead chestnut there is a tiny black something, that is gone with a whisk and a flutter. Did the fairy notes come from there? Ah, here is a sound that makes your heart leap! Piercing and Clear, a single long call soars high above the soft Chorus of trills and carols. There it is again! Thrilled and sile11t, with your head up- lifted, you stand and listen to that sweet whistle until the wild beauty of it seems to mingle with your very blood. At the close you suddenly discover that you have been standing on tiptoe, with your eyes closed and every muscle tense and quivering. You relax, feeling rather fool- ish, when suddenly ruddy sunshine Hashes over the hill, hitting you straight in the eyes and making you smile in spite of yourself. Now that you have come back to earth, you wonder what that flute- like song really was? Some say that, just at dawn, you can always hear, far away but silvery clear, Pan calling his Hooks together from that same hill. Others claim that to be an illusion. They explain it as a bird song, a hunter's whistle or a frog chorus. You realists will like that last solution, and as for you, dreamy-eyed poets and wistful artists, I can only thank God for people with imagination in this knowl- edge-hardened day and age.

W l y LTARION BYRNE, 25. The Detention Freshman-Sophomore Short Story Contest SECOND PRIZE. Two chance acquaintances, nothing more, nothing less, yet the one had shown the other his heart. The younger was a middle-aged man whose face revealed him to be keen and alert. The elder looked supremely content. The reason for his contentment? Read on-and discover. The acquaintanceship had begun over two ice cream cones. The conversation had turned from railroad stations in general to the one in which the two were seated. How is it that you are able to compare this with other stations so widely scattered over the country? inquired the younger. IVell, I have been looking for my boy. Yiihen the call came for volunteers he went across to France. After several months we lost track of him. Then a cablegram came telling of his death. This was a great shock. He was our one son. At the close of the war his body was sent to us, but while the fea- tures were similar to those of my son, there was a marked difference in the hair. My son's hair had been brown and curly, this boy's was red and straight. The authorities told us that the change was due to certain acids used in preparing the body for shipment. However, this and several other small differences led me to think that there must have been some mistake made. I therefore, set to work to earn enough money to start my search. I took a trip to New York City and combed the detention camps there. In each there were a few resembling Bert and some of the boys were friends of my son, but in none of the camps did I find him. Discovering that my funds were low, I returned to my Indiana home. My next trip was to Chicago where I went through the same procedure as in New York. That was where I made my great mistake, for while I was away a young man, dressed in khaki, with scarred face and curly brown hair, called at my house. The door was opened by r- -. v v 90 llie Maroon, IXIHIQSYOII. 5f.l4fiii my daughter who wished the caller good day. The gentleman asked for Bert and was told of his burial. He seemed much taken aback at this news but asked no further questions. Thanking her for the infor- mation, he left. IVhen I returned I was told of this visit, and it renewed my hope. I reasoned that this boy might well have been Bert because of his brown, curly hair and suit of khaki. If it wasnlt Bert, it was someone who thought him to be at home, and therefore alive. f'From that time on I made continued trips to at least thirty of the detention camps in this countryf, At this point in his story the narator paused and took breath. XVell, today I found my boy-in the Federal prison at Atlanta. 'fIVhere? snapped the listener, tense from hearing this tale. ln the Federal prison at Atlanta, repeated the father, and I am proud of his being there. You wonder how l can be proud of a son in a prison? Why, his presence there saves a mother from the poor house. XVhile on his way to this city he asked a truck driver for a lift. His request was granted and the driver and he began talking to each other. The two had been pals in France. The driver was sup- porting his aged mother. When they neared the city li111its the truck was inspected by otiicials and it was found that it was bringing in hooch. Bert, thinking of the mother who trusted her son, said that he was responsible. The driver was allowed to go but my son was given a jail sentence. His term will be served in six more months and then he can come home to us. Train leaving for N-, shouted the gateman. That's mine,', exclaimed the listener, who grabbed his satchel and began to run. I think you and your son are both fine specimens of American manhood if I I 5 but the train's noisy puffing out was all that could be heard by the watching father. IXIARGARET BROWN, '28.

I don't wish to convey the idea that my Al111a Mater's letter did 11ot adorn my proud chest, for it did, and, as to my studies, I passed them safely above the danger line but they were only a side issue. I had a distraction which absorbed me so completely that I failed to shine on the gridiron and in graduation I would much rather bury my foolish head in some musty old book' on Egyptology ll Q3--V The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. than anything else, even as a boy. ln my frequent visits to the library, .l. became acquainted with the instructor of that subject, a Dr. Trilly by name, and a warm friendship grew up between us. After graduation I went into active business with my father and sorry to say, I rather rudely neglected my old friend Dr. Trilly. Time flew by and I made the grade of life without a shift. I was just thirty- five when our doctor became somewhat alarmed at my run down con- dition, but I was loath to give up business and resented his profes- sional anxiety, although l promised to accept his advice later on. It was a few weeks later that I received a letter from my old f1'iend Dr. Trilly telling me that he was about to set out on an expedition to Egypt for research purposes, and, remembering how interested I used to be in that subject, he requested me to join him. The Doctor's advice in addi- tion to my old obsession gave me the incentive to go. The voyage did much for me and by the time I landed in Egypt I was a new man. Our expedition was a laborious one but we were amply repaid by our success in the valuable relics we discovered. VVe uncovered a few valuable mummies and funeral piles in a hidden tomb due west of the fifth pyramid of Gizeh. It was the day we unearthed our finds, a burning day of the desert and we were utterly exhausted after taking the precious relics from their ancient resting place and putting them in safe piles for the on- coming night. Evening came, a hush fell over the camp, a stillness broken only by the subdued tones of the Arabs who muttered fearfully calling curses upon us from Allah for our sacrilege. Evening turned softly to night, my campmates seemed strangely depressed and worn out. That night was my turn at guard duty. In spite of all my surrounding, I was buoyant and happy, with a certain unexplicable feeling of expectancy and hope. I carried out my sleeping bag and threw it near the entrance of our rare discovery which showed up darkly in contrast to white, almost ghastly sand. As I sat there I grew drowsy and slept. Startled, I awoke with a damp sweat on my brow. I knew not what time it was, but the bril- liant Sahara moon was high in the southern sky. My keyed-up nerves felt jumpy and I was keenly sensitive to my surroundings. I raised my head and looked about the camp and toward the open desert. All seemed quiet. Then something attracted my attention. On rubbing my unbelieving eyes, I perceived a shimmering thing moving slowly in my direction, calling. A rustle at my side caused me to look there. A mummy rose with a faint sigh. I felt a strange weakening within me. The discolored linen wrappings of the corpse slowly unwound as if by some unseen hand. I started aghast. Slowly, very slowly, the wrap- ping became unraveled. I strove to rise but I could not, I was unable to breathe. God, how I suffered! The windings of the body at last became undone, disclosing a face. HGood Godf' I gasped weakly, it The Maroon, Kingston, N.

It is enough to say that she followed the true Egyptian type, having an olive complexion, dark, and pulsing with every e111otion. Her dark hair was as lustrous as her eyes, and her mouth showed signs of sor- rowfulness. At once all flashed back over n1y mind. 1 recalled that last day of parting and the giving of tokens. It was the day Pharaoh 's army set out against the southern hordes. 1 looked upon her breast and there was my jewel taken from my sword hilt. 1 found my hands searching in my ancient garb and showing he1', her ring. She told me of her utter despair when the news of my death ar- rived and of her vow to marry none but me, of how her father, the Pharaoh, wished her to marry but she had refused and fled to a temple and became a priestess of Re. The ancient God of the Egyptians knowing her sufferings had promised her she might meet her lover once every thousand years.

Comforts of Home Five days of the week 1 am forced to get up into the cold, hard- working world at a very early hour when every sensible person is still enjoying sleep, and our house resembles a tomb. However, each morning as 1 arise at this unearthly hour, 1 count the days until Sat- urday, for then, of course, 1 may sleep. 1 am of a very optimistic dis- position, evidently, for the memory of the preceding Saturdays seem to fade away, and 1 am always full of hope as 1 listen to my mother's words, Now you can sleep late tomorrow, for there will be nothing to disturb you. 94 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. It is seven o'clock! I leap out of bed from force of habit-then l remember that it is Saturday, and go back for the long anticipated slumber. Yet it's a funny thing how wide-awake I feel! I finally fall into a light doze, and perhaps I really would sleep if our stairs weren't falling down. No, they really aren't collapsing. After I hop out of bed to find out the cause of the commotion, I discover that my fatherls gentle footsteps, as he hurries down to breakfast have pro- duced this alarming effect. Still optimistic, I return to my bed, but then I hear a knocking, and thinking it is for me, I again bound out. However, I discover to by dismay that it is only my friend, the wood- pecker. I don't go right back to bed, for I see the milk wagon approach- ing, and I know that there can be no quiet till it has passed. After the bottles have been deposited far from quietly beneath my window, I de- termine to try once more to sleep. However, the coal wagon drives up below, and soon the horrible endless rumble starts. It is no use. I might as well get up and spend a pleasant Saturday working. XVill there ever be a quiet Saturday? ,I certainly think Congress should pass a law which would give the hard working students a quiet dav to themselves. JANET W.

Y. 95 Epitaphs, As I Have Read Them Humorous Sketch Contest SECOND PRIZE An epitaph is a thing which one would expect, from its name and its use, to be essentially a serious proposition. However, this is not always the case. We often hear of humorous epitaphs, which the narrator always declares to be real, but which, of course, we must ac- cept with a grain of salt. Nevertheless, these epitaphs which I shall give in this essay are old, in fact, taken from existing tombstones. l rely upon my remarkably well established reputation for veracity to support me in this assertion. But, to return to the subject in question, there are several reasons why real epitaphs may to us appear funny. Sometimes, the engraver vainly attempts to be witty. Or, again, the author of the inscription may be an inveterate joker or may have a grudge against the deceased. Such epitaphs usually concern promi- nent characteristic or peculiarities of the departed. Among these may be classed the following: t'She washed the children, ted the fowls, And made the house resound with howlsf' Hardly complimentary, is it ?-but we can almost see or hear her rubbing the children's necks or scrubbing their ears. Here 's another along the same line: This stone was raised by Sarah's lord- Not Sarahls virtues to record, For they are known to all the town- He raised this stone to keep her downf' That is a character-study all in itself. She may have had many virtues, but Hfamiliarity breds contempt -she was probably so cleanly in nature that she would make her husband take off his street shoes on the porch steps-Quien sabe? 'lt must have been a double release. Let us turn, now, from these candid opinions of the departed. to an inscription that is at once both ludicrous and pathetic: He Lies Mary Jane Aged 11 Yrs. and 8 Mo. She was not smart-she was not fair, But hearts for her are swellinl, And empty stands her little chair- She died of eatin, waterinelinf' Wie wonder whether the melon was green or whether she merely ate too much. The following, too, is ludicrous and pathetic in that it shows the to us freakish figures of speech and phraseaology ot' back-woods coun- try people: 96 -ni The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. Mammy and I together lived Just twelve years and a half. She went first, I followed next, The cow before the calf. Then, my memory recalls an epitaph in which certain facial charac- teristics of the deceased are magnified until they become ominous: Here lies the body of Timothy Jordan. Mouth Almighty! and teeth accordin'. Stranger, step lightly as you pass this wonder, lf he opens his mouth, youlre gone, by thunder! Next comes a tale of woe that warns us against Hnew-fangled notions z HI-Iere lies Lord Grimes And his two daughters, Brought here by drinking Mineral Waters. If they had stuck To Epsom Salts, They wouldn't be In these here vaults. Pure jealousy. How we envy those who can afford to travel for flheir health while we have to stick to the old-fashioned remedies at ome! And now, last in order, comes a group that depicts the present activities and fortunes of the departed. Our renowned scientist, phil- osopher, psychologist, and would-be philanthropist, Professor Dunbar, is wont to relate, when in a beneficent mood, this brief, simple, but pointed epitaph, which may be found in the Hurley Cemetery. Mary Burns. Turning from such a tragedy, we come to those who are now envisioned to be inhabitants of another and a better world. 'STO the memory of Miss Martha Grin, She was so heavenly pure within She cracked the shell of her earthly skin, And hatched herself a cherubinf, Under this sod, And under these trees Lieth the bod Y of Solomon Pease. He 's not in this hole, But only his pod. He shelled out his soul And went up to his Godfl Queer ideas, one might say, but 1 conclude that they are the true beliefs of our ancestors in respect to the spiritual world. Others, how- ever, had a different opinion of the contents of heaven. N The Maroon, Kingston, X. Y. 97 Here lies the body of Lady O'Leary Great-niece of Burke Commonly called HThe Sublime, She was Bland, passionate, and deeply religiousg Also she painted III Water colors, And sent several pictures To the Exhibition. She was first cousin To Lady James And of such Is the Kingdom of Heaven? Then, too, I have seen and heard of various bits of sculpture that adorn tombstones that bear such inscriptions, Cherubin with wings for ears, Merciful Angels, Avenging Angels, Lambs, Sheep, and even Skulls and Cross Bones. Many of these epitaphs and carvings may be found upon the Isle of Man. This isle, also, as most ancient places, has quite a reputation for ghosts and specters. Is this an instance where We can put two and two together and make one? If so, no wonder that the dead can- not rest beneath such carvings but return to haunt us. Let us put noth- ing but our names upon our stones, and resort to the old Scottish litany. From ghosties, ghoulics, evil spirits, and a' things that gang Boom I' the nicht, Good Lord deliver us.

The old covered bridge had stood as long as Nell could remember and as long as any one she knew could remember and still it stood, firm as the day it had been built. Nell's father, thoughtful of its beauty, never painted the old bridge, but let it remain that peaceful gray. The blue-green water flowed beneath it, and the creek was bordered with green trees and green mosses and ferns. Truly, with the midday sun upon it, it was a beautiful spot. But never at night would Nell go near it, unless some older person were with her, for had not her black mammy often told her of the bridge ghost? One warm summer night when Nell, old as she was, had been frightened again by the ghost story of the old bridge, she awoke, leaped up in bed, and in a twinkling was at the bridge. Frightened she stood there, when suddenly came the rattling of chains and before her appeared a white something. She could not open her lips to speak or scream. But, to her sur- prise the ghost said: Nell, don't be frightened by me. Listen, and I shall tell you a story. Trembling she obeyed. Once,', began the ghost in its deep voice, long ago, there lived in your house a maiden, your great-great-great-grandniother. Now she was about sixteen years old when one day there came to this place some British officers. Your great-great-great-grandmother was a colony syunpathizer, but she straightway fell in love with one of these officers, and she agreed to meet him at the bridge at nightfall. Now, her spirit came and told me, and I determined to save her for the colonial lover she was temporarily forgettingf, Nell clapped her hands. So that night I took the form of the British ofHcer's wife, who home in England was grieving deeply and alone, and, as the lovers came on the bridge I rushed forth wailing, 'James, James, Jamesl' Even in the dark I could see his face growing pale. H 'Oh, Lordl' he cried, 'I am ruined.' Then he began to run, while your great-great-great-grandmother fell limply to the bridge Hoor. Just then there came on horseback, your great-great-great- grandfather-to-be! He heard her moanings and stopped. He prevailed upon her to marry him the next day and she did and they lived happily ever after. So, you see, I am a good ghost, and you won't be frightened at me any more, will you? The ghost faded away then, crying, N ell, Nell, Nell. The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 99 Nell opened her eyes and beheld the bright daylight. To her sister lying beside her she told of the visitation. HI-'oh! said sister Lena, That's bunkll' But Nell did not believe her, and I don't either, do you? XIIVIAN BEATTY, '27. An Old Witch Junior-Senior Essay Contest J SECOND PRIZE. I know an old witch. Yes, an old witch, and right here in Kingston. -She may be anywhere, though. In fact, I met her in Kentucky, once- And just the other morning I met her as 1 was coming down Broadway.. She is dark and sinister in appearance, and walks with a great stoop, while a grasping expression is upon her face. This aspect is almost as dark as the cloak which envelops her entirely, and her long, bony lingers open and close in a mighty desire to seize. She is slim and wiry, and makes her way among a crowd with dreadful agility. As she passes swiftly by she casts a dark and gruesome shadow upon those near her, and woe to the one whom she grasps in her fearful hands! She sought and followed me one day. Try as I might to escape, I finally found myself in her terrible arms. It was a distressing experi- -ence, and when she released me at last, how I wished that I had escaped her hold! This witch does an unaccountable amount of harm. IVhen she has once held a person, the being is wretched long afterward, and may easily fall a prey again and again. Her very presence casts a dark shadow, and hinders progress. Her working destroys friendship and co-operation, and banishes happiness. Under her inliuence acts are committed which are positively harmful and sad. She blocks the way of reason, and even homes are disunited under her spell. Worse still, she opens the way to other things, to hatred and revenge. None can tell the possible effects left by her as she passes by. They are far reaching, and have many branches which touch things which should not have been related to her at all. One of the most remarkable things about this old witch is the man- ner in which she worms her way about, entering into almost every con- ceivable place. IValls of stone or brick are as nothing to her, and as for will power or good nature, they offer her severe resistance, but often not enough by far. Sometimes she advances slowly and omin- ously, at other times she appears suddenly and unexpectedly. She may be seen at home or on the street, in the office or in the shop. And, although one would not think it, she sneaks in at public meetings, socials, or outings. She shows herself conspicuously in places of state, IQQ-W----F The Maroon. Kingston, N. Y. in the heated legislative meeting. Alas! She even creeps into the Church, sits in a pew, and pretends to listen to a sermon. But is there no way to conquer this terrible witch, whose name is Jealousy? Nothing which can overcome her 'l Ah, yes, there is a single person who can eifeetively banish her. This person strives hard to reach people in the fatal grasp, and may succeed in freeing them. She is an angel, a gentle, quick, white ligure moving with utmost grace, and scattering an atmosphere of peace and ,joy about her. She, and she only, ever has, or ever can hope to banish jealousy. The name of this angel is Love. Yes, it is Love, that suffereth long and is kind, that beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. BEATRICE DODGE, ,25.

The usual assem- bly days are llvednesday, Thursday and Friday. On Thursday morn- ings this year we l1ave had an extra treat-the orchestra. Mr. Spauld- ing arranged for many selections by the entire orchestra as well as solos by individual members. That, together with the senior and out- side speakers and general singing, makes assembly one of the happiest periods of the day. Cameron Beck On December 3, 1924, Cameron Beck, head of the personnel depart- ment of the New York Stock Exchange, spoke before the assembly. Mr. Beck, who had spoken here a few years ago, was graciously received by the students, who knew that from him they could expect nothing but the best. The keynote of his speech was, NYhat you are to be, you are now becomingf' He said that it was his business to meet unsuccessful fel- lows and to help advise them and get them started toward success. He stated that one common cause of failure was trying to fool the em- ployer, a play which invariably results in being discharged. A second point that he emphasized was that HMister-You-Can't-Tell- Men is prone to failure along with the fellow who Hlets George do itf' George usually gets this latter fellow's job. He tried earnestly to impress the students with the fact that now they are preparing for the future and that the habits of today will develop the man and success or failure of tomorrow. School Representatives As has been the custom in past years, representatives from several schools and colleges, spoke at the assemblies. Faculty mem- bers from R. P. I., lflmerson College, and Amherst spoke of the value of college training in their respective colleges and the kind of work they offer. Miss Morningstar of the Kingston City Hospital Training School for Nurses appealed especially to the graduating girls in behalf of her profession and its opportunities. All of the addresses were very helpful as they made us better acquainted with those schools and reminded us of the necessity for an early choice of a life work. The Maroon, Kingstonxg. Y. 103 Miss Perkins One morning in the early part of April, a girls' assembly was called for the purpose of organizing a ''Find-Yourself-Campaign'' sim- ilar to the one inaugurated for the boys. At this assembly, Miss Ruth Perkins, of the Educational Department of the National Board of the Y. XV. C. A., was the speaker. She told of the many fields of work open to women and urged the students to decide early what their life work should be. Questionnaires were later distributed to aid the girls in determining for what work they were best fitted. Dr. Cady Dr. Cady very generously offered this year to give a series of lectures, the proceeds of which were to go toward aiding the Parent- Teachers' Association of the High School in the purchase of a motion picture machine for the auditorium. The subjects of these lectures were Dr. Cady's travels along the Nile, through the Mediterranean and in The Land of the Midnight Sun, to be illustrated by colored slides. The first lecture Six Hundred Miles Up the Nile,', was given, in Aprilg but, owing to the small attendance, the remaining ones have been postponed until next year, when we hope the students will show their gratitude to Dr. Cady by more enthusiastic support. -.l..9....l V Captain Fowler Friday morning, April twenty-fourth, Captain Everett Fowler of this city gave a very interesting talk on the History of the City of Kingstonf' Having made a very extensive study of the history of our famous old city, he was in a position to give us some valuable in- formation concerning the settlement of Kingston, its naming and its original extent. He left some pamphlets, giving facts about this colon- ial city, at the school to be distributed to the pupils. iVe are very grateful to Captain Fowler for these opportunities of learning more about our city's past and present history. Mr. Dunbar VVith a view to helping the students work more efficiently and scientifically, Mr. Dunbar, of the high school faculty, gave a series of lectures in assembly on the elementary principles of psychology in- volved in the learning process. He stressed the necessity of physical comfort, a quiet environment conductive to study, and a lively interest in the subject to be attacked. The students appreciated the timely presentation of a subject which is enjoying great popularity just now and is of essential importance in the understanding of human behavior. 104 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. An Appreciation-To Captain Everett Fowler As youthful citizens of this city we certainly should, and do have an interest in her past growth, and especially in the part she has played in the glorious history ot our country. Since in a few years we are to become a part of her body of active citizens, it is only right that we should have this interest, for in later years it will be our responsi- bility to help carry on her highest interests and uphold her honor. lt is in this spirit that we wish to acknowledge our appreciation to Cap- tain Everett Fowler for the honor he has conferred upon us in dedi- cating his attractive and valuable book, l-listoric Kifzgstolz, to the class ot' nineteen twentyftive. An Appreciation Through the efforts of Mr. llumm ol' the High School and Mr. Samuel Watts a track has been built in the rear ot the school. This accomplishment places track tirmly among the athletic activities of the school and is a beginning toward making track an important branch olf athletics at K. H. S.

The final debate was held at Nyack on May fifteenth. The Varsity was disappointed in having to change from the negative side of the question, on which they defeated Poughkeepsie, to the affirmative. Yet, they worked with a will and were well prepared to meet the capable and aggressive Nyack team. After the debate which proved lively and keenly contested, the judges decided in favor of Kingston by a vote of two to one. The championship of our section and the coveted debating trophy are certainly welcome after the absence of a year. The XVebster-Hayne as well as the school at large is indebted to the coaches, Miss Hull, Mr. Hellmich and liliss Tarrant, for the long hours of work they generously devoted to helping the society keep a high place in the art of debate.

Prisma, one of the largest and most popular organizations of K. H. S., has had, as usual, a busy and successful year. Perhaps its treas- ury is not full, but certainly it has been successful in as much as it has accomplished the things it set out to do. The first important thing Prisma did was to welcome the Fresh- men into our midst which was done by means of a Minstrel Show given in the Auditorium on Thursday, December 18. The Freshmen and Faculty were guests of honor and the rest of the school paid admission. At Christmas time nearly four hundred dolls were dressed by the girls and the twenty prize winners were sent to the lndustrial Home. The others went to the grammar schools and with them pop corn balls for the boys that they might not feel neglected. At Christmas time, too, the front corridor and the rooms were decorated according to the custom Prisma instituted a few years ago. Prisma does not work for others all the time, however, and during the winter a prize speaking contest and a spelling bee were held. Prisma also has its debating teams and its members may well be con- gratulated, for the Webster-.Hayne Debating Club had to come to the Prisma teams to get members for tl1e Varsity Debating Team. On St. Patrick's Day Prisma held its annual banquet, the event of the year, when the girls make merry and at the same time come in closer contact with each other and with their advisers and guests. The greatest event of 1925 for Prisma was the concert given on April 14 by the Amherst College Musical Clubs. Each year Prisma wants to do one big thing and it feels that this has been accomplished this year, with the assistance of the Symposium Club, in bringing such a musical treat to Kingston and in devoting the proceeds to a scholar- ship fund for the high school. So we approach the end of another happy year, having done our best to create and maintain a spirit of service in the school and in the community. To Miss Cordes, however, we owe any success we may have had. It is her energy, her enthusiasm, and unselfish work that make Prisma what it is and that make our small undertakings great successes. XVomen are, generally speaking, generally speaking. AUDUBON SOCIETY gm- A The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 1-T3 .f ff, X M12 fe ic' zfjifj - ?l ,i5l5 1 3 A-Ae, X 3 - -Xe: xxx 'X if T of 113 'Q J 3 xv?

In learning how to attract birds to nest near our homes, Mr. Mack showed us, at one of our later meetings, how to construct bird houses and brought in five different types ot' houses to display. The programs at our other meetings were for thelmost part discussions by the club members of their observations of birds or readings on subjects with which a group of bird lovers should be familiar. HI-Y CLUB The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. -m 153 Kingston Hi-Y Club A new plan was initiated into the Hi-Y Club this year. The entire responsibility of running the club, which has heretofore fallen upon the shoulders of Mr. Hall, the boys' secretary of the Y. M. C. A., was placed upon the officers. This plan has proved very satisfactory. Through the efforts of committees, appointed by President lVhiston, several inspiring speakers have been secured, and the membership greatly increased. Great interest centered around the Hi-Y Basketball League this year, which was won by the Rajahs under the leadership of Captain 'Whiston.

Y. 119 Music Association Every club or society of any value has some objective in view. The Music Association endeavors to bring before the students of K. H. S. the best there is in music, in order to arouse them to more genuine appreciation of the art. Late in the term the Music Association reorganized, electing the following officers: President ........ ....... R alph Harrison Vice-President .... ...... ll Iarjorie Norwood Secretary ....... ..... D orothy MacFadden Treasurer ..... ................... D avid Graham Anvisonx COMMITTEE: Mr. Dunbar, Miss Case, Mr. Spaulding, Mr. Mack. The three chief factors in arousing the interest of the students in music and in affording an opportunity for the development of musical talent are the orchestra, the glee club, and the band. The maxim practice makes perfect has been proved by the fifty-piece orchestra at Kingston High School. Diligent practice by each member, not only in a group, but also at home has greatly im- proved the technique, expression, and coordination, all of which are essential to a good orchestra. Since last September every Thursday morning assembly program, with a few exceptions, has consisted of pieces by the orchestra usually assisted by a soloist. Sing while you work-sing while you play- 'Twill fill the world with joy.', The K. H. S. Glee Club is made up of a group of thirty-three selected voices. The club has appeared several times in assembly this year, much to the enjoyment of the entire student body. The latest innovation in the musical activities at K. H. S., is a band of thirty-live pieces, which has played at the various athletic con- tests, thereby stimulating school spirit. .The band, the orchestra, and the glee club are all under the efficient direction of Mr. Spaulding. The Music Association is desirous of encouraging all efforts to interest its members in the production of good music. Whether the effort be directed towards musical numbers by students, or the enjoy- ment of a program of a noted artist.

The Alumni Dance On September first, when everyone was beginning to think once more of school and its Hood of events, the K. H. S. Alumni held a dance in the Y. XV. C. A. gym. The hours were danced away to delightful music supplied by Zuzza's orchestra. lt was a fitting opening for the social activities of the year of ,24-'21 The Junior Dance On Friday evening, December nineteenth, the Juniors held their annual dance in the high school gym. The dimly lighted hall was appropriately decorated with red and green streamers, and evergreen boughs. The music of Zucca's orchestra was so delightful, and the crowd so congenial that The hours were like dancers On gold slippered feet. So in an incredibly short time the orchestra was playing Home Szccct Home, and the gay dance was at an end. A. A. Entertainment lt has been the custom of the Athletic Association to hold an enter- tainment for the benefit of its members each year. This has always been one of the big events of the school year, and this yearls enter- tainment in that respect was no different from its predecessors. lfpon entering the building each student was given a ballot upon which to write the names of the girl and of the boy whom he thought to be most popular in the school. Then, after the balloting was over, the students entered the auditorium where they were entertained by the famous A. A. Minstrels. Of course all knew that Kingston High School was a wonderful school, but it was not until the night of Janu- ary twenty-eighth that they fully realized what great talent it con- tained. After the entertainment was over, it was announced that Priscilla Davis and Bill Ollieilly had won the popularity contest and each was presented with a medal. Door prizes also were given, after which the students went to the gymnasium and enjoyed the dancing until eleven. 641139277 What is it?

Truly, two games won, three tied, and four lost is not very commendable at first glance. But these so-called paper records are not what really decide the character of a football team. It is the clean fighting spirit which all teams strive for and few acquire that really counts. Consequently it is with pride that we can look back upon this team as one of the best fighting elevens ever turned out by a K. H. S. coach. After several weeks of workouts, the squad was finally chosen. Then the season opened at Albany where they met defeat on a trick play in the second quarter. The following week found them opposing the strong Union Freshmen eleven at Schenectady. Although this game resulted in Kingstonts worst defeat of the season, they received much commendation from opposing players and spectators for their fighting spirit. The first casualty of the season was felt when Bill O,Reilly injured his shoulder, forcing him out of the contest. The first game of the D. U. S. O. League was played at Middletown the following Saturday, resulting in a scoreless tie. The strong defense of the Kingston team was shown as they held their opponents to two first downs. Then followed a Week of persistent practice in preparation for the Port Jervis game. At the Athletic Field they went through some very A. A. COUNCIL F- The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 129 strenuous exercises and consequently were in perfect physical condi- tion when they met the team which finally won the championship. The Port Jervis game found an improved Kingston offense, result- ing in a 6-6 tie. A feature of the game was Tetley's long run for our lone touchdown. A sadder phase of the game was that Davis, star left guard, suffered a broken ankle, which kept him out of the lineup for the remainder of the season. lt is noteworthy that Kingston was the only team that succeeded in scoring against this championship eleven. The next three games were close, hard fought struggles. First came a defeat at the hands of the more experienced Peekskill eleven. But the following week witnessed Kingston's first victory,-over St. Stephen is Seconds. This contest was played as a preliminary to the first college game witnessed here between St. Stephen's and Manhat- tan. Then Kingston suffered its first league defeat to Newburgh. The latter scored its lone touchdown immediately after the game started. After this break, they were outclassed by the Maroon and VVhite, but contrived to win by the narrow margin of one point. The climax of the season came with the overwhelming defeat ad- ministered by the locals to Poughkeepsie, our ancient rivals. This skirmish, which was a rather muddy affair, showed that Poughkeepsie was entirely outclassed by her opponents. Led by Captain Goldberg, the Colonial eleven worked as a great machine and scored at random, much to the chagrin of the Poughkeepsie spectators. Since this victory was the first in several years and the most decisive of the series, it will probably never be forgotten by those present. The final game of the season ended in a scoreless tie with the high school Alumni. Although greatly outweighed by the older eleven, the high school youngsters kept fighting till the final whistle. The Alumni presented a strong lineup, including a number of college players and fast local men. March tenth marked the date of the Hi-Y Banquet with the high school football team as the guests of honor. Several speeches were made by members of the team and the high school faculty. The announcement that Herbert Simonetty had been elected captain of tl1e 1925 football team was greeted with much applause. Finally the speaker of the evening was introduced. He proved to be none other than Leslie Mann, college football and basketball coach and big league baseball player. This banquet marked the close of one of the most unusual seasons in our football history. ' The Maroon, Kingston, IivY. 4 H. Kelleher . . . A. Avnet ......

The Season This year's team, coached by Mr. O'Leary piest iives that ever donned a Kingston uniform. Since not one of last season's regulars remained with the team, it seems rather surprising that they lost the D. U. O. League championship by but one game. But with the typical fighting spirit of K. H. S., a fast team was devel- oped around Tetley, a sub on last yearts championship team. It was this do or die spirit which pulled them through many a tight place into several hard earned victories. The opening game of the season proved to be a glorious victory for the Maroon and White over Middletown. The following week they played an intensely exciting game at Port Jervis, winners of the foot- ball championship. Tetley's long shot finally pulled his teammates into a well earned victory, 15 to 14. in the first game of the 1925 half, they were treated to an easy workout at the expense of the Faculty Five. Next followed two costly defeats at the hands of Newburgh and Poughkeepsie, both scores ending 20-16. The latter game was lost when an entire new Kingston squad took the court to give the other members of the team a much needed rest. 1Vhen the Varsity re-entered the game, they played the Poughkeepsie tive off their feet, but it was then too late to overcome the lead piled up by their opponents. Mid- dletown and Port Jervis were the next victims in two hard fought struggles. The team then went to New Paltz, where they were doomed to a 30 to 27 defeat. Although each team scored alike from scrimmage, the New Paltz quintet had the edge in foul shooting. Next came a vic- tory over St. Stephen's seconds, in which the locals made a strong finish, winning 25 to 17, after playing on even terms with the visitors. After losing at Beacon, they were defeated by a picked five of high 132 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. school ineligible students. Several days later found Newburgh at the local court in the most exciting game of the season. The result of the contest was finally decided in favor of Kingston when Vogel, the smallest player in the league, caged a timely foul shot. The final game of the season was played at Poughkeepsie, with the Maroon players on the short end of a large tally. As a result of this defeat, Kingston lost its last chance to capture the D. U. S. O. League championship, and consequently the State Championship. However, the rooters from the Colonial City exhibited av spirit never before known in the history of K. H. S., when an aggregation of some live hundred students accom- panied the team to the game. Baseball LlNEUP Mr. H. Benson ............ Coach R. Burgevin ...... .... ll lanager R. Quackenbush .......

The team has met one of the toughest schedules on record and consequently has not ven- tured upon any furious winning streaks. This handicap coupled with the fact that the squad is composed of a group of inexperienced players is sufficient to hinder any team from capturing a large percentage of victories. As the Maroon goes to press, the majority of these contests have been played away from homo, thus adding to the difficulties to be overcome by Coach Benson. The season was opened at Englewood in a game filled with excit- ing moments until the last few innings when the Maroon team col- lapsed. Until the seventh inning, Kingston led by one run, but at this time the Englewood boys started a barrage which finally netted them six runs and the game. The first game of the D. U. S. O. League was - -1 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 133 BASEBALL SQUAD played at Middletown, resulting in an overwhelming victory for the visitors. After the dust had cleared away, the scorers gave Kingston the advantage of a 12-6 walkaway. The Albany Academy game at Kingston was not so uninteresting as the score indicates. Rider's triple in the first inning with two men on bases was the longest smash of the game. Next week we met the same team on their own field, but displayed an entirely different brand of baseball, with the result that Albany required an extra inning to nose us out. The winning run came with two down, when the Kingston catcher muffed a pop-fly. Neither team succeeded in scoring more than one run in an inning because of the tight pitching of each hurler. Then followed a practice game with Moranis Business School, who lost to the high school in a one-sided affair. Cranston's home run was the main feature of the contest. Weak hitting in the pinches and poor support of the local pitchers spelled the defeat which we suffered at the hands of Port Jervis. Al- though not outhit by the visitors, the Maroon and White could not manufacture safeties when they meant runs. Despite this defeat, our chances for the league championship are still favorable. 134 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. it 'if-4, i . f TENNIS SQUAD Tennis The high school was very fortunate this year as far as tennis is concerned. Besides having several of last season's stars on the squad the team is coached by Mr. lfalen, a graduate of our own Alma Mater. VVith such men as Captain Herzog, Coons, Powley, Miller, Baker and Fowler on the roster, a high percentage of the games booked by Mane ager Phelps should be won. As the Maroon, goes to press, they have competed in one match with Albany Academy. This contest resulted in a tie score up to the time when it was interrupted by inclement weather. Track 'ln 1925 track underwent a transition at. Kingston High School from the status of a n1i11or activity to that of a major sport. The team was the greatest ever developed at K. H. S. and has won distinction. Its success has been the outcome of weeks of perseverance and cooperation between the coaches and members of the squad. NVith tl1e season but - The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 135, TRACK TEAM half completed, practically every man has already earned the varsity letter. The first meet in which the team participated was the Penn Relays of April 25. Here, amid the glamour of thousands of athletes, the Maroon and Wlhite took sixth place in a field of fifteen teams. Kings- ton was the only high school to be entered in this relay. Running in the order named, Leverett, DuBois, F. Clark, and Metcalf clipped a second off the former inter-scholastic record for the quarter mile. Several weeks later, Kingston was represented at the annual Corn- wall meet. Since N. Y. M. A. was destined to win this meet, we had to rest contented with third place at the close of the events. Scanlon, of the high school squad, distinguished himself by breaking' the old record for the mile run, while Caswell took second place in the broad jump. On May 23, Kingston won second place at the Poughkeepsie meet. The Maroon captured one first, four seconds, four thirds, and one fourth place in the ten events entered. Scanlon again took first place in the mile when he lowered the previous time of 5:01 by three seconds. This entitles the local runner to represent Kingston in the state finals to be held at lthaca in June. ' 136 The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. q Athletic Association Early in the school year, the annual A. A. membership drive be- gan. The students responded very well and, as a result, the member- ship of this important organization reached the unprecedented number of six hundred forty-five. After the main drive was completed, election of officers for the year took place. President ...... ....... . . .lVilliam O'Reilly Vice-President . . . .............. Elizabeth DeWitt Secretary ....................... Richard Vllhiston These officers, under the leadership of President O'Reilly, have conducted the business and social activity of the organization in a creditable manner. Especial praise is due the chief executive for the satisfactory manner in which he cleaned up that disgraceful Pough- keepsie affair. The annual A. A. social was unusually successful and afforded great pleasure to the many members who attended. In every way the students have cooperated very well with their officers, and it is to this fact that the success of the organization is largely due. Class Basketball The prophecy that the last shall be first and the first shall be last was eventually fulfilled in the class basketball league this year. Although the seniors made a fast start, they were finally overtaken by the lowly but mighty freshmen. ln a playoff game, the latter won out, 17 to 13, in a hard fought contest. W'ith a tie in the standing at the close of the league, it is needless to say that the season was one of the most exciting in the history of class basketball. Perhaps if larger crowds would turn out at these games next year, we should be treated to even faster exhibitions of basketball than in the past. Endball Much interest was shown in endball this year-and small wonder- for the games were very well played. The closest game was between the sophomores and juniors. This the juniors won by a 31-24 score, thereby securing the championship. Porty: How do you think a warmer climate would suit me, Doctor? Doctor: Heavens, boy, that's what I'm trying to save you from. -A The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 137 Hockey 66 A party to the winning hockey team. This was the announce- ment which spurred on the hockey teams to greater endeavors this year. The girls went at it with unusual zest, and the result was that the games were well played and the scores close. Rivalry was especially strong between the senior team, with Ger- trude VValker as captain, and the sophomore team under Beverly Schmidt. Up to the last week, it looked as it' the seniors would wing but, in the final game, the sophomores surprised all by winning with a score of 2-0. Thus they secured the championship and the party. Newcomb Fighting for the Newcomb championship this year was lively, but after many skirmishes, the juniors secured it by winning a game from the sophomores. Seniors, sophomores and juniors had each won two games, so the deciding one was naturally close and exciting. Basketball Girls' basketball was played under new rules this year, and, conse- quently was not quite as good as usual. Still there were several close games, the big contest being between juniors and seniors as always. The seniors won from their opponents 19-16 in the first game which a junior class has lost for two years. But, in a later game, which the same two classes played, the seniors lost by a score of 15-16. In spite of this defeat, they hold this yearls championship. The X-Word Puzzle Hound Oh!

The following officers were elected: President ...................... Seymour Goldberg Vice-President . . . . . .Jeff Pennington Secretary ...... . . .Rodney Stock Treasurer ........................ Fred Buchholtz This organization was formed in 1921 for the purpose of promot- ing good sportsmanship in interscholastic athletics. The members also act as firemen, policemen, ushers in times of need. Late in January, when the gridiron was soaked with mud and everyone was thinking of basketball, an assembly was held at which the members of last fall's football team received their well-earned Ks. After a brief summary of the tGEL111,S success, the following men were called on and presented with their reward: Captain Seymour Goldberg, Captain-elect Simonetti, George Bradley, George Mollen- hauer, Benson Miller, John Byrne, Addison Schultz, Harry Kelleher, Vivilbur Tetley, Albert Flanagan and Frank Disch. The second team was given a fine compliment for its perseverence and also for its producing of such a fine varsity. The members were then called up in a group and given their second team Ks, DRAMATIC CLUB 67 QW JM Q 6, i fmt, W9 2, 3 1 GRUMPY CAST i - m The Maroon, KiggstonLX.

The Prime Minister assists the May Queen to her dais and then her followers arrange themselves grace- fullly at the base of the throne. The vari-colored costumes with the background of green and bright sun illuminating all, present a truly festive sight. A folk dance, interpreted by a group of about eighty girls, intro- duces the events of the day. Next the Queen is crowned amidst the cheers of her followers. Several dances follow, the athletes and de- bators receive their hard earned letters, and the Maroon prizes are awarded to the successful contestants, Mildred Goldberg, Helen Fitz- gerald, Pierson Phelps, Mary Ennist, and Vivian Beatty receiving honors for literary work, and Beatrice Dodge, Victor Johnson, Charles Ellis, Marion Byrne, and Margaret Brown, taking second prizes. Last and best comes the May Pole Dance, an indispensige part of any May Day celebration. Then, the Q-ueen and her subject leave the iield, scattering in their wake the very spirit of May.

Y. 147 Prunella liast rehearsals for l'runella, the play to be given Friday even- ing, May 29, are proving very satisfactory to the director and the Dramatic Club players. The completion of the and the installation ot' the Goddess of Love in her niche have inspired the munnners to such an abandon of gaity and devil-may-care volubility as could not fail to magnetize any audience. These strolling players, Pierrot's Harlequins and Columbines, playing first in couples and then in ensemble, charac- terize themselves on their 'first entrance as irrepressible. Ottilio Riccobono, as Prunella and l?ierrete, in turn, and Arthur Pennington, as Pierrot, are making Granville Barker's fantasy 'tconie alive in an amazingly charming way. Their interpretation of the whimsicality and romantic caprice of the play has been an inspiration to the students who have been lucky enough to see a dress rehearsal. Scarainel is the excellent servant of Pierrot, exceptionally well done by Seymour Goldberg. The old maiden aunts of Prunella, Prim, Privacy and Prude, we are sure will afford the audience a deal of amusement. One nmst of course mention the gardeners and the Boy, all of whom are interesting portrayals and are, as well, excellently done. ln speaking of the aunts, one immediately thinks of Queer and Quaint, who prove to have spirit and spunk! lVhile proffering praise and credit for l1a1'd labor, o11e should not forget Love, Olivia Daubler, who has perhaps the most diliicult task of all, posing as the Goddess of l'.ove for the entire period of the play. Costumes for the mummers furnish the high notes of color among the stage groups. Harlequin patches, vermillion or black smocks, and Columbine skirts all combine to weave a delightful pattern for the brief dance of Act ,l,l. The climatic scene of Act lll' challenges the artistic appreciation of Pierrot and Pierrette more acutely than any other scene. In recap- turing the emotional reality and the poetic nuances of the episode im- mediately preceding the final curtain, they are making the performance a very 'line one. Mr. Van lfltten, who has designed the set, and Miss Tarrant, direct- ing the play, have worked out effects with lights which should be very delightful. The Dramatic Club has installed within the last few weeks a much needed rheostat. Other lighting equipment has been loaned for the occasion of this presentation. The cast is as follows: Pierrot .............. . . .Arthur Pennington Scaramel, his servant. . . . . .Seymour Goldberg Kennel . . . ......... ..... l tlllcry Norris Callow .. ....

Olivia Daubler The Cathedral Clock The closing of the High School for the Christmas vacation XVHS made particularly impressive by appropriate music and a one-act play entitled, The Catlzedrczl Clock. This play, by Lawrence J. Smith, is a beautiful little piece, embody- ing in an unusual way the spirit ol' Christmas. The scene is laid in the fifteenth century home of a peasant of the town of Danzig. The har- mony of theme, setting and plot achieved by the author was recreated by the cast. lYistfnl Peer, the embittered, the loving father guarding his ugly secret, and the gentle wife and mother are engaged in an episode at once tense with dramatic interest and controlled by a fine restraint. Peer ................................. Mary Coffin Margaret, Peer's mother ........ Augusta Pfronnner Frederick Alfort, Peerls father ...... Bernard Yoepp Blind Man ........................ Ralph Harrison Visitor ........................... Edgar DeGraff The costumes of the playlet were made by girls in the homemak- ing class and to them much credit is due for its success. The greatest appreciation is, however, owing to Miss Tarrant who staged and directed the play. The Maroon, Kingston, N. Y. 149 K. H. S. Graduates in Other Institutions.
