SENIORS Senior Class This, the eleventh class in the history of K. H. S., never realized, at its entrance in 1922, the grand and glorious feelin' it would exper- ience when it should hold the most dignified and most respected place in the school. But, after passing through the various stages of high school life and having reached that pinnacle of glory, it has at last come down to earth to plain, everyday happenings. Early in October all the seniors met in Hall B to organize the class ot' 1926. The following officers were chosen: Victor Johnson, presi- dent, Ohristabel O'Reilly, vice-president, Evelyn Hotaling, secretary, Roland Green, treasurer. - By the time November rolled around the seniors began to think seriously about the usual Thanksgiving dance. So, on November twenty-sixth, after enjoying a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner, they did not consider the day complete until they had danced the evening away Qin the high schood gymj to the irresistible rhythm of a jazz orchestra. Owing to the hard work of Miss Tarrant and the members of the cast, the senior play, The Goose Hangs High was made a success. One of the crowning glories of the class came when our illustrious president, Victor J ohnson, competed at Albany in the oratorical con- test for the high schools of New York state, and came home having a place near the top. In the latter part of April, the class of 1926 again met in the ac- customed place, Hall B, and elected Gertrude Legg as May Queen. Later, the date for May Day, May 21, was decided upon. Now, as the year 1926 draws to a close, the seniors turn back to the memory of the many friendships made with both teachers and students, and of the many happy times they have had within the walls of K. H. S. Commencement In keeping with the celebration of the sesqui-centennial of the Declaration of Independence, the commencement program will be patriotic in sentiment. The speakers will endeavor to capture the spirit and atmosphere of the latter part of the eighteenth century in an original scene portraying the persons and the interests of the times. The characters to be represented are: Benjamin Franklin ......... -- Alexander Hamilton ..... Thomas Jefferson-- George Washington Abigail Adams ..... - - -Frederick Clark - - - -- -Roland Green ----John O 'Connor - - - -------- Jacob Harris Muriel Van Gasbeck Dorothy Madison ------ -.-- K athleen Meeker Martha Washington --.- ------ E ltora Schroeder Mary Washington ----- ---- Anna Schoonmaker 4VssQ III Q ,IlI Q..ll1- 1926 MAFIOCJN ELIIIQQQIIIQQEIIISQE-G' x TILLIE AFFRON 35 Murray Street Destination: N.

With the able assistance of its faculty advisers, Mrs. Witter, Miss Hussey, and Mr. Pollock, the Junior Class organized in November, 1925. The result of the election were as follows: Jansen Fowler .......................... President Julia Burgevin .... ..... Y lice-President Martha Gold ............................ Secretary William Kelly .................... , ...... Treasurer As the social season rolled on, plans were enthusiastically made for the big junior event, the Junior Prom on December twenty-third. All those, old and young, who were present, felt their merriest and made the Junior Struggle one not to be quickly forgotten. Through the help of their competent banner committee, the class of 1927 secured a most attractive banner of scarlet and buff, which has been generally admired even by the seniors. The juniors took a large part in athletic activities. This year, the boys had three class teams, basketball, baseball, and track, each adding its share of glory to the class standard. The girls has six ath- letic teams-hockey, end ball, basketball, newcomb, track, and baseball. In baseball and end ball they came out on top and took second place in each of the others. The school and class spirit of the juniors is strong and true, not only in athletics and social events, but also in class Work. They are now looking forward to next year with the ambition to uphold up the dignity and ideals of former senior classes. The Sophmorc Class The sophomores, now that they have recovered sufficiently from their freshman stage fright and bashfulness, have entered most whole- heartedly into the activities of the school and its organization. The second year of the class of 1928 was indeed a successful one for both boys and girls. The boys' class basketball team, under the able leadership of the captain, Tony Erena, took first place in the class league with but little opposition. This laudable feat makes the class of 1928 basketball team champs for two consecutive seasons, an unusual record. The girls' Newcomb team, Margaret Happy, cap- tain, also came through with flying colors, first place going to their credit. The basketball team, Beverly Schmidt, captain, did its share, too, in winning honors for the class by capturing first place in their league. Class track, however, seemed to be the soph's Waterloo since they were unable to win anything better than last place in the meet. But the meet was of advantage in another way as it necessitated the selecting of class colors, chosen by the girls, blue and gold. Anna Shields and Florence Schussler represented the girls in the Girls' Athletic Council. As we are about to advance from lower to upper classmen we look forward to our junior year with a hope that we may bring honor, not only to our class, but also to our Alma Mater. Su Freshmen The freshman class of 1926 again upheld the standard of their class hy not organizing. However, they were not idle in the athletic and social life of the school. The haskethall team did not do quite so well this year as last, winning only second and third places, hut their record otl1e1'wise was exceptional. They were represented on the foothall squad hy 'tFlip Jones and Homer Brown. Jones, furthermore, was a mcmher of the second team haskethall and of Varsity hasehall. The freshmen were represented on the hasehall squad hy .lohn Mohr and Ernest Luedtke. H Herb Clark is following' close in the footsteps of his hrothcr Fred hy winning' his varsity letter in his first year at track. But the greatest achievement of tl1e freshmen was their victory in thc Inter-class track meet over all the other classes through thc needed help of tl1e freshman girls. The freshman girls were represented on the Athletic Council hy Harriet tlranston and Millie Ostrander. The freshman class is conspicuous in most of the sehool societies and has a very large representation on the honor roll. Miss Noone: How can we profit hy studying' thc life of Lincoln? E. Schick: The seniors could follow his example in their treatment of the freshmen: Une day he was going' down the street and saw a pig' sticking in the mud, and he pulled it out.

Many students have come and many have gone since that eventful day. But there is one group most of whom have stayed through these entire four years and have had much influence upon our high school career. This little band is our beloved faculty. In the first years they helped us to get a sure foothold on the road to learning, and in our last years they have encouraged our progress toward the goal of graduation. VVhat they have done for us cannot be fully estimated, but we want them to know that we appreciate their aid, and are going to do all in our power to reflect honor upon their teaching. Accept our appreciation, Faculty. Wasted Time Lost: Somewhere between sunrise and sunset, two golden hours, each set with sixty diamond minuutes. No reward is offered, for they can never be regained. How many times during the year might we not post just such an advertisement? For it is true that hours are golden, that the smallest space of time is valuable. What a veritable treasure of time man squanders during his lifetime, precious moments that will never return! It is the small amounts of time wasted which comprise the great total. Arnold Bennett believes that the average busy business man, rushed as he is, wastes as much as four hours a day. If this be true, what a great amount of time the average high school student must waste daily! He gets up at seven o'clock, takes possibly fifteen or twenty minutes to dress and eats his breakfast within another twenty minutes. It is then only twenty minutes to eight. He probably would not think of starting for school before eight-fifteen. The next thirty-five minutes he spends Waiting for the hands of the clock to reach eight-fifteen. He goes through a very similar procedure several times throughout the day. At night, he probably spends an hour making up his mind to get to his home or to go to bed. Now, what may be done to avoid this waste of time? First of all there is reading. One could scarcely choose a better, more profitable way of using his spare time. Bacon has said Reading maketh a full man , and many great masters, such as Roosevelt, Ruskin, and Benson all urge upon us the importance of reading. There is literally an inexhaustible supply of good literature avail- able to an interested reader. Or, if one does not care to do much read- 52 The M aroon ing in this rather disjointed fashion, there are always various, minor, daily tasks to be performed which may easily be done in odd moments. This would leave a long, uninterrupted period of time after school hours for reading. One has only to look about him to see the innumerable ways of usefully spending spare time. . C. O 'R. Criticism u One of the most commendable methods of putting into practice the Golden Rule is to refrain from criticism-not honest, helpful, con- structive criticism, but that petty form, know11, in the vernacular of the day as knocking . The knockers, of whom there are several types, are among the evils of society. First of all, there is the habitual knocker. Upon him we need not comment, he is not a welcome member of society. And yet, do we not all at one time or another join the ranks of the knockers? Of course, if anyone accused us of unkind criticism, we should become indignant and vehemently deny the accusation. Dis- appointment in some undertaking and the desire to shift the blame, both, tend to produce a state of mind which seeks to relieve itself in finding fault with the other fellow. But probably the chief cause of knocking in our high school life arises from personal jealousies and grudges . If some one else has had good fortune or succeeded well in some school activity, why 11ot be glad with him? Or, if he has done you some injury or if, perhaps, he has gone about criticizing you, why retaliate by knocking him? That is descending to his level or below it, and after all, it is a cowardly way of getting even. The ultimate effect upon o11e who gets the habit of unkind criticism is most undesirable. He becomes narrow minded, dissatisfied, jealous- in short he makes himself very miserable. . .Perhaps if we held up the mirror of honest, impartial self exam- ination it would turn our attention to our own defects and make us think twice before adversely criticizing our neighbors. In the words of Robert Burns. Oh wad some power the giftie gie us To see oursels as others see us! 915 515 516 EK EK Man passes away, his name perishes from record and recollection, his history is a tale that is told, and his very monument becomes a ruin.-Washington Irving. The Maroon 53 As We See lt The world is full of interesting things, either trivial or of great import. We spend an e11ormous amount of energy, of time, of money, roaming through places of historical significance, visiting scenes of natural beauty, or searching zealously for antiques, for rare Chinese jade, or Milanese armor,-in short, riding our own particular hobby. But those are just things. Granted, they add interest to the world we live in. However, have you stopped to consider what makes this world? It is the people in it, and people are infinitely more interesting than any ruined castle or sparkling waterfall ever could be. Yet it is doubt- ful whether it occurs to any considerable number to study human beings rather than things. And where is the human element more potent, more intriguing to the attention than in an audience? To make speculations and deduc- tions from our respective attitudes as an audience, is an endless source of pleasure. Our conclusions are that we do not play the part merely of an audience, at least not as a passive audience. No, ours is rather a dual role, actors first and auditors last. Does this View go too far? Think a moment. You have all at some time or other played a role, even if it was only to speak a couplet before a Sunday school class. You were ill at ease, vaguely conscious of the prominence of your hands and feet. Everything tended to make you dread your part as an ordeal to be hurried through. Then you noticed one bright and interested face in that entire audience eager to hear what you had to say. And presto! You were no longer apprehensive. That one face inspired you to speak your few lines in your best manner. Don't you see? That person was acting his part, and by doing so he was helping you to act yours. That is what is meant by our having a dual role to play. It is the same everywhere. At the opera, the success of the drama or the singer or the musicians, depends as much on you as upon them. They can go only half way. There you must meet them. That is one point, the main point, but there is another, also im- portant. If you go to a performance and are not interested, if you act bored at times, or are too critical in your judgment, you are in a sense cheating yourselves. A hostile attitude, no matter how slight, is easily felt, consequently, the actors cannot give you their best. The greatest interpretation of tl1e symphony, the finest shades of feeling in the play, these you miss, and through your own fault you are losers. You see, it lies with you whether the artist's work will be excellent or mediocre. E. N. as as as Life is a long lesson in humility.-J. M. Barrie. l 54 M The Maroon A Good Sportsmanship Movement In the last few months there has sprung up a new organization, which is now limited in scope, but which in time is sure to become inter- national. The reasons for this belief can be read in the name of the association, The Sportsmanship Brotherhood, and in the great pur- pose of the association, which is to foster and spread the spirit of true sportsmanship throughout the world . Its motto is Play Fair . To become a member of this organization, it is necessary to promise to uphold, at all times, the Code of Honor of a Sportsman . This code applies not only to athletics, but to life itself. Keep that in mind as you read the necessary qualities of a true sportsman. He must keep the rules. This is necessary to the success of athletics as a builder of law abiding citizenship. He must keep faith with his comrades and play the game for his side. No one with a correct sense of honor can endure a traitor. N He must keep himself fit. This is absolutely essential to a team's success. A team the members of which break training cannot and should not expect to play a good consistent game and to be a credit to the school or organization which it represents. He must keep his temper. The person who loses his temper can- not give his best to the game. He must keep from hitting a man when he is down. A person who does such a thing commits an unforgivable breach of sportsmanship. He must keep his pride under in victory. He should treat his op- ponent as a friend and never try to humiliate him. Dan Chase, State Physical Department head, recently said in a speech that the custom of the Kingston Hi-Y Club, that of entertaining the teams of other schools after their games whether they had won or lost, had done much to establish good feeling among the fellows, and eventually among the towns. The sportsman must keep a stout heart in defeat accepted grace- fully, remembering that victory cannot always be achieved. A fellow should not be discouraged because he is not a star. He must keep a sound soul and clean mind in a healthy body. Every person owes it to his school, yes, and to The Great Sportsman, to keep himself in the best of condition, physically, mentally, and morally. A This Brotherhood has a wonderful future, the prospect of bringing together all the sport-loving peoples of the world. The Olympic games already are getting results on much the same basis, but now with the aid of this association, much should be done to bring about world peace. Of course, this program will not be accomplished in a short time. Things that are lasting must have a good foundation, and with the Olympic games as a foundation, this movement for good sportsmanship should prosper. The M twoon 55 No one can be a perfect living model of all the qualities mentioned, but it would be a fine thing for the school, the community, and the world, if people would try to live up to that Code of Honor, whether they joined the Brotherhood or not. Let us see true sportsmanship encouraged! It pays! F. C. Substitutes It is a sacred principle in most homes of culture to treat guests with the utmost consideration and courtesy. Occasionally we have guests in K. H. S. who surely are entitled to a doubly fine spirit of hospitality and consideration, for their presence here is a favor to us, an assistance in an emergency. Who are these guests? They are the teachers who come to take the place of our regular instructors when they are absent. The im- pression of our breeding that these unfortunate ones must carry away with them after one of these visits must be such as no K. H. S. student would be proud of. This fault is not due to any intentional disrespect on the part of the students, but to a thoughtless desire to take advantage of a splendid opportunity for fun. But think a moment-should the natural in- clination to gratify our own heedless impulses have precedence over our sense of responsibility, our consideration of others? Others first, oulselves afterward, is a rule that, if carefully followed, would help us to cultivate finer feelings, to cooperate with those who are trying to help us, and to become students worthy of K. H. S. American Idealism What is the American ideal, that loftiest aspiration toward which the typical American citizen aims? Sometimes we may wonder whether this ideal is truly illustrated in Israel Zangwill's play, The Melting Pot. Let us consider this America as a huge melting pot wherein the alloys of all the baser metals intermingle with those of the higher metals and are decomposed, the finer forms rise to the top, while the lower types sink to the depths. By a similar process there result class and race distinctions and religious prejudices. The man of wealth easily ascends the social ladder and is fawned upon, while his poorer yet perhaps kindlier and more idealistic brother lives his life unknown to the many. How can such class distinction be tolerated when we preach that all men are created equal? 55 The Maroon In regard to distinction in race, perhaps most people do not realize, or do not know, that copper and bronze have the some origin, that bronze is essentially copper to which certain other chemicals have been added. Ah, that is the idea! Under the surface all men may be alike. The black man's soul may be as pure and spotless as his white brotheris. A similar principle may apply to the religion question. Why should there be religious prejudices in a country where, in spite of the many different creeds, practically all of them profess a belief in the One Supreme Being, in the one God above? Perhaps we may find a meaning other than the immediate applica- tion in Shakespeare's lines, All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players. May we not read in this passage an expression of the true Ameri- can ideal-democracy? But it is not democracy in the hackneyed sense ,of the day, for, while it is folly to believe that every man is capable of becoming president or even a leader in any capacity, it is nevertheless very logical to suppose that every human being has an equally neces- sary part to play in the great drama of life. Each man should be made to feel that as long as he is putting forth his best efforts to make the performance of life a success, it does not matter whether the role assigned to him is the main one or a less con- spicuous part. When the time comes when every man shall realize the fact that each one of his fellow beings is equally important on Life's stage, and should be respected accordingly, then shall we have attained the high- est American ideal in the true sense of democracy. M. G. Art Work For the first time the Maroon has tried to institute a new plan for its art work. The staff has chosen a unified motif to interweave on each page and has selected for that unit certain prominent architectural features of our school. As a result we have studied the architecture of our building, the entrance to the school, the lamps before our doors, and We see them in a new light, one of appreciation, not indifference. It is with a double purpose that we incorporate these designs in our book, first, to express our sincere appreciation for having been privileged to spend four years in a building of classic beauty, and second, to make this Maroon a real K. H. S. book. ' 'R 'W' ITERARY I.

I remember it as clearly as if it were today. I was shown around by an old trooper, a certain Lacalle, who spoke English with great ease and fluency. He was an amiable fellow, extremely garrulous. Whenever I inquired concerning anyone of his numerous friends, Lacalle narrated the soldier's life-history fully enough to do justice to a Napoleon. One day, as we were walking along the trenches, I espied a lieu- tenant who immediately attracted my attention. He was a short fellow, built like a wedge. His features I only faintly remember. I asked my companion who he was. Lacalle answered in his char- acteristically genial way, That?s Lieutenant Jean Glissant,-Jean Glissant, the spy. You must have heard of him. Brave man! Last week he captured a sentry of ten Huns single-handed, yes, sir, single- handed! His past? He never mentions that. All we know is that he entered service when twenty-one. Great fellow, it 'F at 'H' II Thus spoke Lacalle of Lieutenant Jean Glissant. Fate, however, dealt the brave spy a shameful blow. But in face of death he was bravest and noblest. III The French regiment had expected an attack for the last few days. They waited weeks, however, yet none came. Brave men, as they were, they feared a long-delayed and sudden move on the part of the Germans. The only tranquil man in the trenches was General Vernier. As he was an old soldier, nothing in war was new to him. They probably haven 't enough men, he philosophized. One day the general summoned Lieutenant Glissant into his tent. When the latter appeared, the general asked, 'tLieutenant Glissant, can I depend upon you as a loyal Frenchman who rates France above everything else? Glissant was taken back. He thought for a moment, then he huskily replied, General, you can. I knew I could, said the old soldier kindly. Then he disclosed his plan. It seemed that the general had just received authentic information to the effect that the enemy was preparing for one desperate and final The Maroon 59 drive, that through a woman as messenger they would send for re-en- forcements from the north, and that the success of the French depended solely upon Glissant's ability to intercept the woman before she reached her destination. She will travel along theumain road, looking as innocent as possible. Await her by the roadside, and when she appears, shoot! Do not hesitate, shoot! Jean did not like that. General, is it necessary to shoot? he pleaded. l It is, snapped his superior. That's what those fiendish Huns do to our messengers , then less severely, 'tshe will pass Ayens about nine o'clock, it is four now. IV A half hour later saw Jean leave the trenches. Fellow soldiers, here and there, sensing something unusual, stood nodding their heads as if they perfectly understood what was impending. But this was an ahnost daily occurrence in the eventful life of Jean Glissant. He seldom took any notice of them. Today, however, it was different. How? He could not tell. He tried to smile at them, but with only partial success. The order of his commander was still ringing in his ears. Sl1oot! Do not hesitate, shoot! Oh, this war!', he muttered. Then he remembered his duty and tried to brace up, but still he heard, Shoot! Do not hesitate, shoot! His actions, however, did not correspond to his thoughts. He moved with the speed of a deer, yet as noiselessly as a cat. Seeing him in action, nobody could have guessed that his inner self, his soul, rebelled against what General Vernier would have called duty. Three hours later, Jean encamped on the outskirts of Ayens. The once thriving, happy little town did not a bit resemble its former self. Here and there bare walls stood, blackened by fire and shot, Ayens' only witnesses of what had happened within the last few weeks. Every- thing bespoke devastation and ruin. Jean sensed all this and under- stood, and again he sighed, HOh, this war! Suddenly a shrill cry awakened Glissant from his reveries. He recognized it as the cry of a child. Yes, he saw it. It must have been left there by a fleeing French mother a few days ago, he mused. He had an impulse to pick it up and return with it to the regiment, but he did not stir from his place. He had thought of duty. The child kept on crying. Jean, the brave, continued to await the woman he was ordered to shoot! ' A few minutes later Jean saw his victim approaching. She was a small woman whose features he could not outline. She was slowly and cautiously approaching, but suddenly she stopped She too heard the baby 's cry. Turning out of the road, from behind a bush h 1 ' k . s e pic ed up the child, and kissed it. The babe stopped crying, for many an hour it had longed for that kiss! 50 The Maroon Then the woman retraced her steps and disappeared with the child into the dark night. Jean did not shoot. It had been a revelation to him. He never had known that a German woman possessed those sublime qualities! He might be called brave, but she,-she was divine. And in this pensive mood, he walked back to the trenches. V Seemingly, he told all this to the general, who, in a fit of anger, ordered Jean to court martial, where he was tried a11d convicted for treason. On the next day he paid the inevitable penalty. Before death, when asked whether he had anything to say, he replied, God bless that woman. I can die in peace because I-I believe I did what was right. The words were choking him, he could say no more. General Vernier heard him and understood. Don't say that, J eang it's treason, he said softly, as tears iiowed down his cheeks. And he, too, murmured, Oh, this war! HARRY STRIRFER, '27.

The llIaroon 61 A Theme Essay Contest Finscr PRIZE 'Tis strange what a queer feeling I frequently have. After due consideration I have discovered the cause. I notice that it always comes after a teacher assigns a theme. Now I have it again, and all because I have to write another theme. Alas! what is there to write about? I have already exhausted the subjects, music, radio, and reading. Many famous men and women have gained more glory by the biographies I have written. My themes about automobile trips rival Stevenson's Travels with a Donkey. I have written numerous thrilling accounts of the few adventures that it has been my good fortune to experience. I have described every- thing from the clouds and a January sunset to the old kitchen stove we gave away. I know the teachers must be haunted by my ghost stories and must have spent many a thrilling moment reading my mystery a11d detective stories. At last I have given up trying to compete with O. Henry as a short story writer. During the last year it has been my ambition to rival Charles Lamb as a writer of informal essays, but with very little success. The only thing I haven 't tried to write is a poem entitled Springtime ' '. Now , people say, use your imagination and you will always find something to write about . But this queer feeling makes one lose his imagination, for my imagination is always miles away when I need it most. Therefore I ask, What are we poor unfortunates who have this feeling going to do? I wonder if the other students who are so afflicted have the same experience I have when I write a theme. First I spend a sleepless night thinking of a topic. Then I start to write the theme on old paper. I write only ten drafts before I get the first. Then when it is finished, I feel that I have accomplished something. When I rewrite my theme on composition paper, I always picture a great court. The teacher is the judge. In the first scene of the court that I picture, she is seated at her desk with my theme before her, decorating it with those artistic red marks which only a teacher can make. Then I see another scene. The jury consists of my classmates. The judge calls on me to read, and I try to defend my poor theme by reading it with a great deal of expression. Then the class gives the verdict. Sometimes it is pleasing and sometimes it isn't. Finally I complete the copying of my masterpiece, which by this time seems to have lost many of its good points. Then I surrender my treasure. There is one thing I cannot understand. As soon as the theme is in the hands of the teacher, my imagination, like a repentant child who 62 The M aroon has shirked his duty, returns. If the teacher could only know of all the figures of speech and balanced sentences I think of when it is too late! But We have to put up with themes just as we do with many other things in life. Now, strange as it may seem, I do not really dislike writing themes when I have a well chosen topic and plenty of material. I do like plenty of time between themes, however, so I can get over the effects of one before I have to write another. To say all this briefly, I do not mind writing themes if they are few and far between. SYLVIA RELYEA. Penny Amusement Humorous Sketch Contest v FIRST PRIZE Often when we contemplate that small part of a dollar, one penny, we think, Humph, what good is one penny? Have you ever stopped to consider that a penny spent in the right way can purchase a toy that will give a great deal of amusement, amusement for a whole day? Two days! A week !! To those more serious minded, this toy affords good training in exercise and concentration. It strengthens the muscles of the jaw, chin, and tongue. It requires concentration to keep the ball rolling. Once more I address myself to the pleasure-loving. This tiny toy can be molded into many astonishing shapes. It can be stretched and draped to suit the owner's fancy. Sometimes results are a bit untidy, but then, think of the fun in trying to guess how much of this tiny toy will remain after the mess has been cleaned up. This tiny toy never breaks. It can be used day after day, week after week, in fact, if the owner is not too particular. It can be parked anywhere from the top of a bedpost to the hidden recesses of a cup- board. Usually it is parked on the bottom of tables in restaurants and ice-cream parlors. As you park it, be sure to put your finger print on it, lest someone else take yours by mistake. When one has a generous feeling toward his friend, he can divide this tiny toy. Thus two people obtain amusement for one penny. And then, folks, just think of the delightful noise. The room is silent, one can hear a pin drop. Suddenly a loud report breaks the stillness. Everyone jumps. Is it a gun? No, it is once again that tiny toy. Someone has discovered the art of making it speak. This is the greatest bargain that ever has been or ever will be offered to the public. How can all this pleasure and instructive amuse- ment be obtained for only a penny? Buy Wrigley's. ' DOROTHY MAINES, '27. The Maroon 63 Time Essay Contest SECOND PRIZE Recently I noticed in a New York newspaper an article which ap- pealed to me as very important. It was on a topic which is vital to all, but the value of which few realize. It began with the interesting question, What is Time? Place this question before the philosopher, the scientist, the poet, the student, and I am sure you will not receive any two similar answers. Some will say that there is no such thing as time, others will say that time never could begin and never can end. Men without number have sought a definition for time, and Longfellow wrote: VVhat is time? The shadow on the dial, the striking of a clock, the running of the sand-day and night, summer and winter, months, years, centuries,-these are but arbitrary and outward signs, the measure of time, not time itself . Time is the life of the soul. But it is not necessary now to define life and soul which you cannot do. All we know is that time passes, or in truth, time remains and we pass. Time, in my opinion, is a succession of events. The length of our life depends on what we do, how much good we can pack and crowd into the hour. The man of genius, like Edison, with an intensely active working mind, may actually live more in one day than another man will live in thirty years. VVhen nothing happens there is no time. If one goes to sleep and wakes in a minute or in ten hours it is the same so far as he knows. The great difference in time 's speed is the difference between youth and age. It is like a snail in youth, and like a greyhound in age. If we, in our youth, only knew the value of creeping time, the beauty of youth, of enthusiastic active, buoyant life, but we ask time to hurry and bring the future glories. Goodby, today, hurry up, tomorrow , is the cry of Youth. On the other hand, Old Age asks time to stay and grant a little more of the sun's light and a little longer time to repair past mistakes, and so old age watches the days fly by. A year to an old man is not so long as a week to a child. 'Wise is that French saying, If Youth knew, if Old Age could . If Youth knew it would use time, revel in it, and not complain of its slow passing. If old age could, it would go back to the days that were long, hours that crept snail-like over tl1e face of time's clock so that it would be able to correct most of its errors which seem to stare it in the gacelln We all waste time in youth, and in old age we cry in vain, Come ac .

Around this valuable slip of paper centered his one great desire, for the money represented the means of acquiring a new pair of much coveted skates. Although his parents were considered well-to-do, they had informed Harry that if he wanted the skates he would have to buy them himself. This presented no mean obstacle to his wishes, as his allowance was small and all the little odd jobs in the neighborhood were well taken care of. Now had come this good fortune. Entering the school grounds, he had seen the bill lying on the sidewalk, and, thankful for his good luck, Harry pocketed it. No thought of its proper ownership came into his mind until, entering the school house, he idly glanced at the bulletin board. There, quite inconspicuous among the other notices, was a small sign which read, Please return to the office any lost article which you may have found . With gaze centered on the innocent looking item, Harry thought of his barren pocketbook and then of the desired skates. VVhy, when this good fortune came, did he have to be reminded that themoney was not really his? If he could obtain those wonderful skates he would be the envy of all the other boys, he could try for the school hockey team-Oh, he could do wonders if only he had those skates! He existed in the daily fear that someone would buy them. To be sure there were others like them, but it would take innumerable days to send away for them after he had the money. After he had the money? Why, he had it now and could easily purchase them on the way home from school! V Harry Leonard was usually an honorable boy, but never before had he had to meet a temptation like the one now confronting him. So he passed the principal's oiiice with averted eyes. - School started, and he hurried to his classes. Strangely enough an event in English class prompted the teacher to give a discourse on Honesty. Harry endured it grimly and endeavored to salve his prick- ing conscience with thoughts of the skates. Immediately after the close of school for the day he hurried towards the store wherein the beloved skates lay. Just as he was going to enter the store, he saw a small sign which read Honesty is the best policy . Disgusted with himself and all the world, Harry reluctantly turned away. He would buy the skates the next day. That evening, while doing his lessons, he picked up an encyclopedia. On the first page he turned to was an article on Honesty. He paused Th e Maroon 65 only long enough to read, We owe it to ourselves to be honest- and hurriedly turned the leaf. The money was fast becoming a hindrance to his peace of mind. Relief did not come in slumber. He dreamed fitfully of enormous bills which chased him all around. Just as he was going to leap from a precipice to avoid them, he awoke and found himself prepared to emulate a champion high-diver. After he arose he gulped his breakfast hurriedly and rushed off to school. When the bell rang he went at once to the principal's office. After being closeted in that otlicial's private sanctuary, he said, as he gave the principal the accursed money, I found this money, sir, and I thought that you could return it to the proper owner . The principal took it and said, Thank you, my boy . Then he explained, This is part of a charity fund entrusted to my care. It was very careless of me to lose it, so I am doubly thankful for its return. I am curious to know where I lost it . I found it on the sidewalk -er- yesterday morningn, stammered Harry nervously. Hmm!', murmured the principal, with a twinkle in his eye, I ani very glad that I do not have to make up the deficit which the loss of this would have occasioned. I thank you again. You may go now . Harry went to his studies, resolutely trying to put thoughts of skates from his mind. After an interminable day he turned his weary footsteps home- ward, not in the least regretting his decision. As he passed the store, he thought to take a last look at the skates. With a start he realized that they were not there! They were gone, to make some boy proud and happy. Harry walked slowly onward. At home he entered his room and flung his cap viciously into one corner. Just as he prepared to vent his dull rage on the innocent table, his gaze centered in wonder on THE SKATES. There they lay in all their shining glory. With a cry of joy, Harry literally pounced upon them. Later Mr. Leonard casually remarked that Harry needed a new pair of skates anyway, so he had purchased them. He did not tell of the chance meeting with the high school principal, who had given him a glowing account of Harry's honesty. Still later, when Harry Leonard made the varsity hockey team and helped win many victories, his parents had more reason to be proud of their boy. SHERWOOD LASHER, '30.

Or did she only persuade Adam to eat it? But, no matter, I can't persuade my brothers to wash the dishes for me although I am a descendant of Eve. However fluently I argue, they only laugh and go out to play baseball while I am left to my misery. The brutes! The first time mother asked me to wash a spoo11, I used their excuse and said I did11't know how. That was the occasion 011 which I learned that excuses are vai11. I went upstairs, put 011 a suit of my brother's clothes a11d declared that, henceforth I was going to be a boy. I had heard that clothes make the man. My brothers mocked me ruthlessly. I hate boys, a11d I hate apples. I never speak to tl1e one nor eat the other if I can avoid doing so. Brothers are so devoid of feeling, too. Oh, not toward other girls, but to their only sister, to me, they are. I can never enjoy a meal for watching them, they're veritable epicures when it comes to food. And the number of knives, forks, and spoons they use-it's unheard of! I'm sure they do it to harass me. They know I must wash the old things. Once, when I concealed all the silverware except one set for each person, they raised such a rumpus it could have been heard from here to Galilee. Of course I had to confess. Then what do you suppose those swinish brothers of mine did? They used all the silverware available! There must be some way of getting around dish-washing. It's been done. Why can't we follow the custom of the South Sea Islanders? I'm sure it's a most exeelle11t one, they don't bother about dishes, they eat from palm leaves. I suppose practical people, my brothers for in- stance, would argue that we have 110 palm leaves here, or that one can- not very well eat soup from palm leaves. If necessary we could have soup plates and do what certain tribes did. They left their soup plates outside and every time it rained tl1e plates were automatically washed. That would do very nicely for us-if not for us-for me. I'm desi perate enough to do almost anything. There sha11't be any dishes when I keep house. I'll use paper plates, if 110 other course is satisfactory. How I wish I were grown up! Then my lot would fall to someone else. I get some consolatio11 from that thought. I get more consolation from the fact that mother was the only girl once. She had to wash dishes then, but I get most co11solatio11 in thinking Ilm not the only only girl in this world. There must be hu11dreds of others i11 my predicament. EVA Novie., '26. The Maroon How the Snake Got His Rattles Prize Dramatic Sketch Scene: A wood. Enter Orpheus.

Get That Man Freshman-Sophomore Story Contest SECOND PRIZE While on my vacation last summer, I happened to observe a tragic but thrilling scene. ' I was sitting on the porch of the Gettysburgh Inn on the Penn- sylvania stretch of the great artery of transcontinental automobile traffic, the Lincoln Highway , whe11 I saw a state trooper in swift pursuit of a lone motorist. His motorcycle drew abreast of the fleeing car and the trooper threw up his hand in a signal to stop. I then saw the occupant of the car turn suddenly sidewiseg heard the roar of an automatic as the automobile shot ahead, and the motorcycle crashed to the hard roadbed. The state trooper staggered to his feet, stood sway- ing on the macadam road, his hand pointing to the disappearing car and, more vivid than all else, came the dying trooper's last words Get that Man . Then he collapsed, his grey clad body sprawling across his fallen motorcycle. All this happened in such a short space of time that it seemed like the flash of a scene in a moving picture. A newcomer to the inn, who was also sitting on the porch, and I hurried to the spot but when we reached it he was dead-a bullet through his heart. A crowd from the inn and passing automobiles gathered. The everready troopers soon arrived to the response of the urgent call and gave pursuit to the murderer. I hope they get that villain, ', I exclaimed to the stranger when we had returned to the porch, after the excitement had died down. They always get their man or die in the attempt as you have just seen , replied the stranger. And that reminds me , he continued, of a story which I heard from the lips of a trooper . Eager for a story I moved my chair closer and listened. 70 The Maroon You know , he began, that getting they man has long been the watchword of our gallant Pennsylvania troopers, and with the advent of prohibition it has become necessary to catch the offender with the goods. There was once a famous bootlegger who openly defied the troopers to catch him with any liquor. They could have arrested him numerous times in his apartments drinking but they refrained, for such an offense meant nothing more than a small fine. They finally located his liquor cache in one of the many hills in Cumberland County but still they waited, for they wanted their man with the goods. One day he was tipped off that they were to raid his liquor cache and he made a wild dash to the scene to get there ahead of them to save his choicest liquors. The troopers in ambush saw him drive up, load the car, leap into the seat, and start the engine. That was the moment! Three troopers leaped into the road and with arms outstretched, turned the rays of their powerful flashlights directly upon him. Disdainful of their commands, he threw the engine into full speed and plunged toward them. Naturally they leaped back to escape the charging car . That was careless of them'7, I interrupted, 'the must have escaped . y That's just what the bootlegger thought, continued the stranger, 'tbut who would think of stretching a cable across the .road fifty feet beyond and that's just what they had done.f..,At almost full speed he crashed into the cable and-7,'. 1 i,.,, , t 'tAnd was killed , I finished for him. A tt it No, the cable was not quite taut, just enough slack to give it the power of a catapult. Bootlegger, liquor, and car crashed into a field. The troopers reached the spot as their quarry arose painfully to his feet, brushing broken glass from his clothes. His first words were, 'You've got me ', and again that far Hung maxim had been carried out.

Doctor McCracken's Address On Friday, the thirteenth of November, 1925, the students and faculty of K. H. S. were unusually fortunate in having with them Doctor Henry McCracken, president of Vassar College, who gave a unique address. His subject was Your VVord and his theme, the value of one's word. He commenced his fifteen minute talk with a quotation from Alice in IVonde1'Zatnd, which, he said, contains many truths and real problems, in spite of appearing to be a child's story. In a conversation between Alice and Humpty-Dumpty, Humpty used the word, impenetrability, and Alice wished to know its meaning. It means, said Humpty, that we have had enough of this sub- ject. I don 't think you 're right, said Alice timidly. IVhen I use a word, said Humpty emphatically, it means just what I choose it to mean, no more, no less. The question is, said Alice, can you make a word mean what you want it to? ' The question is,', said Humpty with finality, who is master, I or my word? The point which Doctor McCracken was illustrating was, are you master of your word, or is it master of you? He went on to talk of one 's word. It is said that one's word is as good as one 's bond, that is, that people take it as though there were money back of it. In former days one's word meant one's honor. The word ot' a business man or 74 A The Maroon of a student in school is as good as the honor of the tirm or of the school and no better. If a person belonging to either commits a questionable act, it reflects upon the firm or the school. Taking the word of an in- dividual means that other people accept it as they would his money, To make one's word good or to keep one's word is much the same as paying one's debts. Doctor McCracken closed with another reference to Humpty Dumpty. Humpty Dumpty eventually met a word bigger than he, one that he could not master. Consequently, he was mastered by it. Are you master of your word, or can it master you? illggg..-1 Doctor W infield Scott Hall's Address On December ninth, 1925, Mr. Porter of the local Y. M. C. A. in- troduced in Assembly Dr. Winfield Scott Hall of Northwestern Univer- sity, who spoke on the topic Whence Came Our Race? a subject of interest to everyone. He stated that most of the students here came from the Nordic race, which settled about 5,000 years ago around the Black and the Caspian Seas. He discussed three stages in man's develop- ment, the savage, the barbarian, and the knight of chivalry, and noted man's progress by his relations to woman in each of these periods. The barbarian treated woman much more gently than the savage, while the knight revered his lady, treating her with' gallantry and building her a castle and protecting her with his life if necessary. Doctor Hall said that in his studies he has found that man passes through these three stages from childhood to manhood. This, of course, interested the students. Doctor Hall's concrete anecdotes and speciiic illustrations made his address entertaining as well as in- structive. Macbeth in Assembly In December a new departure was made, an assembly for juniors and seniors only, at which a group of seniors gave a clear and discrim- inating interpretation of parts of Shakespeare's tragedy Macbeth. Costumes and a few stage properties added to the effect of reality which the actors succeeded in creating. The parts of the play given were the famous witch scenes, the murder of Duncan, the banquet and sleep-walking scenes. One senior gave the introduction and summed up the parts of the play intervening between the scenes pre- sented, doing this so well as to keep the thread of the plot unbroken and to aid in creating the illusion striven for by the actors. The Maroon 75 Freedom and Self Expression On Thursday morning, January twenty-eighth, Professor J. H. Housten addressed the student body on the subject Freedom and Self Expression. His main thought was that freedom for self expression comes only after long and arduous preparation. To get this thought over more clearly Professor Housten illustrated his theme by specific examples of well known men. Paderewski practices not less than eight hours a day, this amount, he says, being absolutely necessary for him to keep his work up to par. William Jennings Bryan, acknowledged to have been the greatest orator of modern times, worked on a single speech for a year before he delivered it. In the same way Edison, the great modern inventor, and Beethoven, the composer, spent long years in preparation in order to be free to express themselves fully in their respective lields. Professor Housten's address deeply impressed the students, prin-- cipally, we think, because of his topic and his delivery. His message contained much food for thought. Most of the students had never con- sidered freedom and self expression as being closely related or, in fact, as being related at all. His speech was more ,forceful because of the concrete illustrations which he used. Doctor Van Ess On March third, we enjoyed in assembly a rare treat, an ad- dress by Dr. Van Ess, missionary to Mesapotamia. Dr. Van Ess opened with a few jokes among which was this: in the twenty-three years he has been a missionary he has had three furloughs, one in 1908, one in 1918, and one in 1926. On his first furlough he said he noticed the change in buildings, on the second, the change in transportation, and the last the change in boys and girls. The boys, he said look more like men, and the girls look more like boys. 1' After getting his audience in a good frame of mind he proceeded to tell us about the geography of Mesapotamia,-not the physical geography, but the spiritual and mental geography. He showed how the motor car and airplane had done more to break down the boundaries, both mental and spiritual, than had any other inventions. Several years ago in traveling through an Arabian city, the journey taking him two weeks, he had been compelled to stay behind the locked doors of a friendly official to avoid serious injury at the hands of the Arabs. A year or so ago he visited the same city, taking only one night for the trip, and was surprised to receive a hearty wel- come and to find that the people were better posted on conditions in America than he was himself. He left us with an urgent appeal to think -of the more unfortunate people of such countries while we were enjoying ourselves at home. 76 The Maroon Sportsmanship Mr. Dan Chase, who is the chief of the Department of Physical Education at Albany, gave a very instructive and helpful talk to the students of the high school on March thirty-first. From his talk, which was on sportsmanship, we learned much of the true meaning of this greatly abused word. He stimulated our interest by speaking of the good reports which he had received of Kingston High School's attitude toward- visiting teams, and went on to speak of the organization which has been created to promote better sportsmanship. There are four outstanding qualities exemplified by the good sportsman, he maintains. He must try to live the Golden Rule, he must be a good citizen, he must be loyal to his sense of honor, and he must be calm, not foolhardy, in a crisis. There are questions to ask one's- self to test one 's sportsmanship. These questions pertain to fair play, endurance, teamwork, and keeping fit. Mr. Chase said everyone should be able to pass this list of questions at seventy-five per cent and that one who fails to do that is a pretty poor sportsman and citizen. The speaker brought home his message by quoting from The Prayer of a Sportsman, by Barton Braley: Dear Lord, in the battle that goes through life I ask but a field that is fair, A chance that is equal with all in the strife, A courage to strive and dare, And if I should win, let it be by the code With my faith and my honor held high, And if I should lose, let me stand by the road And cheer as the winners go by. College Training April twenty-first, in morning assembly Mr. Hall of the local Y. M. C. A. introduced Mr. Theodore Distler, dean of the freshman class of New York University. Mr. Distler, who has a delightful sense of humor, and a very pleasing personality, gained his audience by first making us laugh, a method which almost never fails to capture our attention. He then began his talk on the valuation of a college educa- tion. College life, he believes, has three sides, three divisions of in- terest, the athletic, the social, and the intellectual. There is much danger of one's stressing too much the first two, which are, after all, only temporary, yet they have a legitimate and important place. The athletic activities are conducive to greater self reliance, a stronger spirit of co-operation, and sounder health. The social side is import-W The Maroon 77 ant, also, for the training one receives through mingling with other people is invaluable. But, and Mr. Distler stressed the point, college is not a finishing school, to lift one up to a plane above. the cammon people. Rather, it is an institution which brings all, rich and poor alike. to the same level, which trains for a truer democracy. Important and necessary as are the first two phases of college life, the real business of a college is tl1e intellectual training, which is some- times so little appreciated by the students that they often choose a college by its athletic records. The studies broaden one 's mind and pre- pare one to meet the crises in life. For all the time spent in athletics and other recreations, more than double that amount of time should be put upon study. The intellectual pursuits in college are, unlike the other two sides of the life, lasting in effect and permanent in value. Mr. Distler closed his talk by saying that in college there are many roads, which are the different courses, and over which the student is guided by guideposts, the professors, and by road maps, the textbooks. You go down the road and by means of guideposts and road maps you prepare yourself for further advancement, and the point is that after this training you are able to go on alone and find out new things, new inventions, new discoveries in science, without the aid of teacher or textbook. New York Times Oratorical Contest In the New York Times Oratorical Contest Victor Johnson, presi- dent of the senior class, won the school contest, the county contest, and, in the sectional contest with representatives from five counties, won fifty dollars and the right to represent this district of the state in a state-wide contest held at Albany. Haig Abdian of Troy won the prize, while our representative brought much honor to his school and coach, Miss Tarrant, by placing among the first. His speech on the Constitution deserves the perusal of everyone, but space permits only the few excerpts which follow: Up through the dark ages the spirit of liberty and freedom flickered in the hearts of the oppressed, and each passing century saw this spirit grow stronger. It inspired Plato to conceive his ideal form of government, fired William Tell to defy an Austrian tyrant, wrested the Magna Charta from the hands of an unwilling monarch. It was the culmination of that spirit that created our own Constitution,-the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution is the tale of a people who had but recently thrown off the yoke of despotism, choosing for themselves and their posterity a new and righteous form of government. It is the tale of a people hoping for separation, y.t afraid to be free, yearning for a T8 The Maroon unio11, yet fearing to be bound, a story of peering into the future like the sibyls of old and Weighing every advantage and disadvantage like the most penurious miser. It is indeed the work of a people inspired with a divine vision. lik 'lk 'll' 'lk Let us now see who the men were who did this work this Iliad, this Parthenon, the Fifth Symphony of statesmanshipn. VVashington with his firm, ever present dignity, as president of the convention in- spired the whole meeting with his simple prayer, Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God . It was in that spirit that the convention acted. Sk fl? :lk 'X' On the back of the President's quaint old armchair there was em- blazoned a half sun, brilliant with its gilded rays. As the meeting was breaking up and VVashington rose, Franklin pointed to the chair and said, As I have been sitting here these many weeks I have often wondered whether yonder sun is rising or setting. But now I know it is a rising sun! The times that tried men's souls were gone. The dawn of a new life was at hand, a life of freedom and prosperity for a country that had been snatched from the very jaws of chaos and destruction. And yet as the Constitution came from the hands of the fathers it Was dead parchment until men transmuted the Written Words into their lives and welded them into their souls. The ideals of the Consti- tution grew a part of our countrymen and flourished in their breasts, and they, the noble pioneers of freedom, built up a great nation on the firm foundation of the Constitution. Through the strengthening life of our nation lurking dangers have threatened, but as they have grown evident the sons of America with the spirit of their fathers have jumped eager to the call and have sacrificed their all, given up their lives with a smile, for their country and for their flag. Mr. Dumm, V ice-Principal Mr. Dumm has been selected by the Board of Education to be vice-principal of the high school next year. The able way in which Mr. Dumm served as principal during Mr. Van Ingen's recent illness is only one evidence that the Board has made a Wise choice in appointing him Mr. Van Ingen's chief assistant.

This team was composed of: Christabel C'Reilly, Leader Martha Gold Julia Cook J. Christian Port, Alternate Cn May twelfth, 1926, the three debating societies held a very suc- cessful and enjoyable banquet. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Van Ingen, who talked on the value of debating in school. The faculty advisers, Mr. Hellmich, Miss Hull, and Miss Bigelow also made short addresses. Then came the singing of the Alma Mater and the Debating Year at K. H. S. came to a close. 80 The Maroon DEBATING CLUBS Lincoln-Douglas In the early part of October, 1925, the faculty advisers decided to allow any boy in the high school to join the Lincoln-Douglas. At about this time the oiiicers for this year were chosen as follows: Burton Van Deusen ..................... President Herrick Schoonmaker .... ......... V ice-President Saul Sobsey ........... .... S ecretary-Treasurer Faculty advisers: Miss Bigelow, Miss Hull, Miss Bailey, Mr. Hellmich, and Mr. Palen. During the year several debates were held which proved helpful to the debaters and interesting to those who heard them. The Lincoln-Douglas held its last meeting on May fifth, and the following boys were elected to serve as oiiicers for 1926-27: President ...........................

The Prisma Society organized early last fall to carry on their work, and, with the able assistance of the faculty advisers, have had an active and profitable year. The first event of major importance was the Prisma minstrel show, given November nineteenth as a welcome to the freshmen. At Christmas time the society was, as usual, very busy. Dolls were dressed and sent to the schools of the city, and along with them went gay balloons for the boys. Besides, an institution was re- membered with a gift of dolls to brighten the Christmas of its unfor- tunate children. Later, the Prisma girls taking design. made a beauti- ful banner, four yards long, with the letters KINGSTON in white npon a maroon background. This banner is kept at the office where it may be used for special occasions. The big event of 1926, the second Amsirp County Fair, held March twelfth, was a great success. On April twentieth came the annual Prisma banquet, at which the girls spe-nt a pleasant evening with Dr. Michael, Principal and Mrs. Van Ingen, and Miss Cordes, as guests and speakers. The tables were artistically decorated for the occasion, and a delicious dinner was prepared by Miss Schnitzler and her assistants. The Prisma members have shown great interest in the vocational talks which were given under the direc- tion of the Y. W. C. A. educational committee. The society has made a goodly contribution toward its scholarship fund for the high school graduates, started last year, having purchased a five, hundred dollar bond, and they expect to add several hundred dollagkfridice in June. Members of Prisma can now be easily distinguished the newly acquired silver and black pins which they are proudly wearing. lil LVL LVL N1 Ni fn fu fn fn fn Miss Cordes: LeFever, how much time did you spend on your French?

The club was put entirely in the officers' hands, with no assistance from anyone besides the student members. Many speakers of note, among whom were Dr. Bell, president of' St. Stephen's College, Mr. Distler, dean of the freshman class at New York University, and Mr. Dan Chase, head of the State Physical Educa- tion Department, were the guests of the club. The members also enter- tained the basket ball teams of Catskill and Saugerties high schools, before the game for the championship of the Catskill Mountain League.

'Tis then my thoughts soar up and up To the throne of the Maker-King, And I see the streets in the Kingdom above, And I hear the angels sing. The wondrous pavements gleam with gold, The trees with fruit bend low, And shining paths wind through the fields Where the many flowers grow. And through the opalescent light, And the happy lands of rest, I hear the softly-stepping sounds, The footsteps of the blest. It is not given to me to see , That white-robed angel throng, But I hear them touch their golden harps, And I hear their happy song. And over all, I hear a Voice, And I tremble as I stand, 'tCome unto me and rest , it says, Come to My blessed land . And I kneel in awe, as the angels raise Their anthem sweet and clear, And I long for the time when I shall come, And dwell forever here. But the soft light fades, and the song grows faint, And I dare to raise my eyes, And I see the last, pale sunset beam, As it leaves the darkening skies. But the scars of sin no more stand out, For it seems as though the Voice, Has smoothed away the lines of wrong, And made the world rejoice. DOROTHY E. INIACFADDEN, '26.. 4 WH VV Nl Wx,-F 'XIX Lx! DREW?-K The Maroon SCENES FROM THE GOOSE HANGS HIGH T11 rf Jlaroon. 97 The Goose Hangs High The two events of the year which every senior most eagerly anticipates, are the publication of the Jlarofm and the production of the senior play. These two outstanding events are closely connected in that the proceeds of the play are used to help defray the cost of issuing the year book. It becomes the ambition of each senior class to establish a precedent in presenting a finer dramatic production than has any class before it. It is generally conceded that the class of 1926 has set a difficult standard for following classes to excel through the faithful work of the cast and the coach in presenting intelligent, thoughtful interpretations of the respective roles. The choice of the class of 1926 was Lewis Beach's popular drama The Goose Hangs High, in which the author seeks to disprove the rather universal belief that modern youth is at heart callous, and indifferent. The interest in the play centers around the lngals family, which is typically American. There is Granny, an aristocratic, crisp, old lady, impatient of the manners, or lack of manners, of her grandchildren, Lois, Bradley, and Hugh Ingals. The twins, Lois and Bradley, home from college for the holidays, bring with them the breezy atmosphere of youth. They have the spontaneity and life of our younger genera- tion, are cocksure, radical, and fully confident that they are capable of meeting any situation. Aunt Julia Murdoch, and her wistful son, Ron- ald, give an added touch of realism to the homecoming of the twins. Hugh Ingals and Dagmar Uarrol contribute the ever present element of romance. NVhile the young people are enjoying the holidays, their self-sacrificing parents, Bernard and Eunice Ingals, are facing a great 98 The Maroon crisis. Bernard must choose poverty or the alternative of complying with the dishonest demands of Leo Day and Elliot Kimberley, two un- scrupulous politicians. Bernard chooses the straight and narrow way, denouncing Day and Kimberley and their infamous demands. At this crisis Granny steps in and tells the twins and Hugh how matters stand. The apparent thoughtless heartlessness drops away like a cloak, and we see the real character of modern youth, loyal, honest, and loving. The twins give up their college careers and Hugh lays aside his romance. When Granny sees, as many other people will see, that youth is just as strong in character as in bygone years, she sets Bernard up in business with his old friend Noel Derby. Among the happy and proud school day memories of the class of 1926 will be their senior play, there will be the picture of Gladys Castor as a veritable Granny in voice, manner, and appearance, Pierson Phelps and Dorothy MacFadden as Bernard and Eunice, gratifyingly mature and serious in those roles so difficult for young people to inter- pret, Victor Johnson and Dorothy Caunitz, the interest-compelling, half-tantalizing, wholly lovable twins every instant of the time they were on the stage, Newton Millham and Helen Strickland, sincere and natural in the romantic scenes, the two bulldozing politicians, Day and Kimberley, so realistic as presented by Martin Spiegel and Addison Schultz that it seemed as if the original characters had stepped upon the stage, Katherine Bailey, as Aunt Julia, a dissatisfied, fickle woman, and Willard Sahloff as her wistful son Ronald, Alfred Van Wagenen, so truly the faithful family friend, Noel Derby 5 and Helen Brigham, as Rhoda, the warmhearted family servant. For many years to come this procession will pass through our minds, a happy inheritance from our high school store. The Senior Class wishes to make grateful acknowledgment to Miss Tarrant, the coach, for her patient and untiring efforts in making the production the success it was. May Day Heigh-ho for merry England and the peasant folk of yorel May Day this year was a peasant frolic. The fair May queen, Miss Gertrude Legg, her maid of honor, Miss Natalie DeWitt, and her attendants, the Misses Louise Pfrommer, Dorothy Ryer, Evelyn Hotaling, Evelyn Way, Melita Schmitt, Mae Turner, Marian Price, and Christabel O'Reilly were all attired in quaint, ruflied costumes of dainty colors. The dancers were clad in peasant dress of brightest reds and greens and yellows. Trumpeters announced the coming of the procession, and the queen The M aroou - 99 with her retinue crossed the green with stately step and grouped about the throne. The festivities began with the entrance of Frost, Winter, and the Frost fairies. They had time for only a brief dance, before Sun and Spring entered. Then ensued a battle between Frost and the Sun. The winter sprites were vanquished, Spring held sway! The Maypole dance was especially dainty and pretty this year and held its usual popular place in our gaieties. All the peasant dancers were quaint and typical and the May day was a picturesque and happy success. If what must be given is given willingly the kindness is doubled.- Syrus. XXXXX Love is like tire.

H. S. file into assembly to the strains of a fifty piece orchestra conducted by Mr. Spaulding. During the assembly one concert number is given by the orchestra, and one solo number either by a member of the orchestra or some other high school student. Recently some French horns have been pur- chased, which add greatly to the quality and volume of the music. Band Closely connected with the Orchestra is the Band, which meets for rehearsal every VVednesday afternoon after school. The band now boasts of thirty instruments, but this number will probably be increased in the near future. At games, the music greatly increases enthusiasm, making the players feel more like fighting and the on-looke1's feel more like cheering. . ' 9 Girls Glee Club The Girls' Glee Club, an organization of long standing in King- ston High School, has this year a membership of thirty-five. If one is fortunate enough to be passing through the front corridor between three and four o'cloek on Monday afternoons, he may listen to the girls practice their Various selections. They have sung a number of times in morning assembly in conjunction with the orchestra. Last spring they made two public appearances, one in Saugerties, the other in the King- ston High School auditorium, the purpose being to raise money to buy suits for the members of the band. Another program is to be given in Kingston this year, and also out of town, but it has not yet been decided where it is to be. Mr. Spaulding is to be congratulated upon the fine work of the glee club, and We hope that his efforts will bring forth increasingly good results in future years. Boys' Glee Club The Boys' Glee Club, a new organization consisting of twenty-five members, meets for rehearsal the fifth period every Monday and Thurs- day at the front of the Auditorium. Mr. Spaulding directs the glee club, as he does all the other music clubs of the high school. These boys have made one appearance before the student body of K. H. S., singing alone, also with the Girls' Glee Club. VVe hope there will be enough boys interested in chorus singing to keep up this organization in coming years.

A. from foundering on treacherous rocks in the high seas of Finance. Under her piloting and under the command of Mate Roger Gibson, formerly of the K. H. S. crew, a chart was mapped out and a crew signed on for voyage to the land of Financial Solvency. With sails set and decks cleared, the ship was started on its hazard- ous cruise. As the sailors were new at the ropes, their training was necessarily strenuous. In spite of almost continual- stormy seas, the lusty crew, feeling a great sense of responsibility at this critical time, bravely held the ship to her course. Observing that many of the pas- sengers needed heartening, they determined, on December twenty-sixth, to touch at the Port of Minstrelsy. Here all were invited to assemble in the salon of the ship while the gobs', performed. The crewformed a circle of chorus and end men and put into the business of cheering the hearts of the audience as much spirit as they had evidenced in training for scamanship. The chorus work was worthy of mention, the solos, beyond expectation, particularly the number by John Rowland, and the antics of the end men together with their specialties delighted those who had embarked on the sturdy ship. Webster Crane proved a most capable interlocutor. George S. Allen, Bob Adams, William N ewkirk, John Palisi, Jimmie Winters, a11d Bill Murray as the peppy musical, quick witted end men, together with the jolly, rollicking men comprising the circle charged upon dull care with fusillades of wit and laughter and put him to complete rout. So successful was this experiment that the ship sailed out from the port of Minstrelsy with everyone in high spirits, and docked at the City of Financial Solvency where they were greeted with scarcely less e11- thusiasm than that which welcomed Captain Fried. This cruise proved the crew was ready for future sailing on untroubled waters with no further danger of shipwreck. 108 The Maroon Alumni Dance On the evening of Tuesday, December twenty-ninth, a delightfully gay party assembled in the high school gym to attend the annual dance of the Alumni Association of K. H. S. The cheerful red and green of the Yuletide decorations inspirited the dancers as they whirled to the lively music of Zucca's Orchestra. All too soon came the familiar strains of Home Sweet Home. What a happy evening it had been, old friends and classmates mingling together once more in the halls of dear old Alma Mater! Prisma Fair O31 Friday evening, March nineteenth, Prisma, with her usual ability for presenting something unique, delighted us with the Amsirp County Fairf, The big gym was bordered with gaily decorated booths and boasted such side shows as The Milky Way through a Telescope, The Nickel Show, The Sea Cow, Bathing Beauties and many other surprising spectacles. Multicolored balloons and gewgaws enhanced the typical county fair atmosphere. Prisma girls, attired in bright costumes, mingled with the crowd selling lollypops and nose- gays. In one corner a gypsy queen had pitched her tent and dispensed fortunes with a remarkable degree of truth and foresight. The two hours from nine to eleven were whirled away on golden wings as the music of Henry Ford's Orchestra accompanied dancing feet, until the strains of Home Sweet Home announced the end of Prisma's most successful social event. The A. A. Vaudevllle On Friday evening, April thirty, the Athletic Association put on the second annual vaudeville show at the High School Auditorium. The performance was a success both socially and financially, considering the short time in which it was arranged. To Miss Edith VV. Case, faculty manager and coach of the show, is due most of the credit for its successful production. The first act was an orchestra with solo numbers presented by basketball men. The second was a parody on the different phases of the school day, such as, Hall A during roll-call, assembly, English class, and special assembly. The Faculty Quartette next gave a pleas- ing vocal program. A somewhat modernized Punch and Judy show followed, after which Zaven Melik, our artist, performed with crayon and easel. Around the Camp-fire came next in which many of the old songs were revived. Davis and Davis, Priscilla and t'Bud , put on a specialty dancing act in which they combined popular with novelty dancing. A group of old-fashioned songs was next presented by Helen Brigham and Victor Johnson in old-fashioned costume. The t'Ki-Ki Kidsv, a girls' orchestra, concluded the program with their final number Good night! Iill see you in the Morning.

This year the team was built around only two varsity letter men of the previous season, Schultz and Mollenhauer. Furthermore, when Schultz was seriously injured in the initial game, the team lost one of its most valuable men. To cripple us further, we later lost our star center. These losses alone were sufficient to send a team upon the rocks. The rest of the material was green, and only through the un- tiring efforts of Coach O'Leary did the team hold together, but Hlt isn't the fact that you're licked that counts, But how did you fight, and why?,' The team fought hard and long, and took their punishment like men. They may have been hams , but, as Mr. Hall said at the annual Hi-Y football banquet, that word is the foundation of the word champs. You certainly cannot have a c-ham-p without the ham, Moreover, our schedule this year was an unusually hard one, including games with Stuyvesant, Albany, Peekskill, and Yonkers. In the Duso-League we occupied the cellar position, being beaten by large scores. Leverett was the outstanding star of the team. 'Besides being credited with the only touchdown of the season, his all around work was one of the features of the year. Svirsky also displayed a wonder- ful brand of football, especially in the Poughkeepsie game. On the line, the work of Captain Davis, VVatts, and Smith was of the highest order. At the football banquet, held at the high school this year, we heard Mr. Van Ingen, Mr. Hall, Coach O'Lea1'y, Manager Clark, Captain illll'.il1IlI'00HYY i all M is l l W - Q - J , FOOTBALL SQUAD Davis. and Captain-elect Smith. The principal speaker of the evening was E-ckert, a former star of Colgate. We also heard an inspiring talk given by Dave Blunt, the manager of N. Y. llfs Varsity football team. Both of these men pointed out that it is not the victories that make the team, but the sportsmaiiship displayed by thebplayers. Moral victories are in some ways more important than physical ones, and let us always remember Defeat may serve as well as victory To shake the soul 'uid let the fflorv out.

' Forfeited to NQXVl'J11l g'll, 2-0. At the start of the season, our basketball team was purely an offensive one, with a very weak defense. Coach O'Leary saw the necessity of a strong defensive team, and by putting Sahloff and Bruhn back at guard positions, and bringing Captain Schultz up to center, he had the combination he desired. Then, with Porter and Clark in the forward berths, not a single game was lost. The second varsity, with Irwin and Hurley playing forward, Smith at center, Boeve and Moly- neaux at guard, was practically as good as the varsity. These two teams constituted one of the strongest squads the school has seen for a long time. This shifting came too late, however, and K. H. S. had to be content with third place in the Duso-League race. At Poughkeepsie, in spite of Kingston's protest, a Poughkeepsie man, did the refereeing. The result was a win for our rivals. The fol- lowing week, as the same official was to refereetthe Kingston-New- burgh game, Coach C'Leary took his squad off the floor and the game was forfeited to Newburgh by the referee. In an exhibition game, we defeated Newburgh in an extra period by one point. Then two suc- cessive losses to Port Jervis and Newburgh by one point margins, put us out of running for the league championship. However, the fellows were good fighters, good winners, and good losers. They all knew the prayer of a sportsman and they lived by it. Grant me to conquer, if conquer I can By proving my worth in the fray. But teach me to lose like a Regular Man And not like a craven, I pray. Let me take off my hat to the warriors who strode To victory splendid and high, Yea, teach me to stand by the side of the 1'OZld And cheer as the winners go by!', 116 M ' C T20 MMR Faculty Basketball For the soc-owl year, llle fzlvlllly had El lmslwllrzxll loam.

It wasan extremely interesting game, first our team taking the lead and then the other. Quackenbush pitched a wonderful game for the Maroon and White. The next game with our rival Poughkeepsie was thrown away by -bad errors in the infield. It was a hard game to lose, inasmuch as our teamhad the opponents beaten on an earned run basis. The final score was 8-5. However, as these losses only slightly lessen our chances for the Duso--League honors, as our book goes to print we still are determined to give Kingston a championship team. The material is unusually good, and, with some favorable breaks, we still have a chance to capture the league. Fight hard, fellows, for . 5 The average manfs complacent when He's done his best to score, But the champion does his best and then He does a little more. Inter-Class Track Meet On April twenty-third was held the first annual inter-class track meet in K. H. S. An afternoon holiday was declared and everyone adjourned to the field at the rear of the school. First place was won by the freshman class, with the juniors second. The seniors took third place, while the sophmores had to be content with the last position. The meet was expertly conducted by Mr. O'Leary with the assistance of some of the faculty. It was easily seen that the facilities for track and field meets are inadequate, both at the high school and through the whole city, but con- sidering the conditions, the records established were not to be despised. The meet was held for a dual purpose: first, to arouse an interest in track and field sports among the students, second, to enable Mr. O'Leary to pick out a good track team. From late evidence, it would seem that both purposes have been accomplished. . Th 1' Maroon 119 Track This year Kingston High boasts of the best track team ever pro- duced in the history of the school. Coach Dumm and Captain Scanlon may well be proud of their squad. Although we have lost three meets, they were lost to schools that are always developing first-class teams, schools like Albany High, Lansinburg High of Troy, and N. Y. M. A., which afford the best competition we can get. We are not exceptionally strong in the field events, but in track we take second place to no school in the Hudson Valley. Captain Scanlan has yet to taste defeat in the mile, Gallagher and NVatts are the two star 440 men, while Porter and Colclough lead among the 880 men. Weber and H. Clark are our pole vaulters, with Edwards and F. Clark uphold- ing the honors in thc high jump, and Terpening and Beadle in the shot put. The sprints are taken care of by Metcalf, who also runs in the relay along with Clark, Porter, and Gallagher. Fred Clark is the out- standing star of the team, participating successfully in the hundred yard dash, discus, hurdles, broad jump, and high jump. fvlemwm l4l' dl m 4 A ' mil +' 4'l'7fZEullE5R 1.4 4 On Salurrlay May lifleellllm the lraek team wen au ove1'wl1elmi11,Q,' Victory over the strong Peekskill Military Academy team, by a score el' 44 to 28.

' CROSS COUNTRY TEAM ..- . Y a-v- The .llaroon 121 Cross Country Early in the fall a group of boys started training diligently, ambitious to organize a cross country team. Their hopes were realized and with Captain Scanlon at their head, the six entries, all in the pink of condition, entered the sectional meet at Goshen, New York. Kingston High School track history was made that Saturday in the late fall. Captain Scanlon, running with the grace and assurance of a Nurmi, took first place with Colclough, another Kingston man, a close second. Scanlon's time in this race was better than that of either of the New York State stars, Ritchie or Moore. Andrews and Swart also placed i11 this meet, running sixth and seventh, respectively. . These places entitled the me11 to enter the state meet at Syracuse. In this race there were nearly two hundred contestants, the best cross- country men in the state. Captain Scanlon raised the Maroon and VVhite higher that afternoon than they had ever been lifted before in' a state meet, for he finished third after a thrilling race in which the experienced Ritchie captured the honors. De Gaeta of Buffalo ran? second. The outstanding feature of tl1e meet, however, was the re-G markable stamina displayed by Colclough, who although severely spiked at the beginning of the race, struggled on with grim determina- tion. There were no cheers to encourage him, runners were passing him on both sides, pain and loss of blood sapping his strength 5-but' did he stop? No, he finished that gruelling race having lost nearly a pint of blood. That truly typifies the spirit that prevails in beloved K. H. S. That is the spirit. that raises the Maroon and VVhite above the rest. Senior Class T . The mighty seniors, under the leadership of Archie Ronk, had the distinction of holding last place in the class basketball league all year. However, this poor showing was due to the lack of players. Last year's varsity squad was practically made up of seniors, leaving but two or three experienced men for a class team. In a post-season game, a senior team composed of Ronk, Bruhn, Sahloff, Clark, Hurley, and Irwin defeated the champion sophomore team. The senior girls started out this fall by winning the field hockey game. This team was captained by Melita Schmitt. The basketball team, whose captain was Dot Mac Fadden, had hopes of being victor over the other class teams, but the team managed to win second place in the league. The baseball team, captained by Helen Gallagher, cap- tured second place in the class baseball league. In the interclass track meet the girls displayed fine ability and carried away many honors. All senior girls were active in athletics and were represented on tl1e Girls' Athletic Council by Christabel 0'Reilly Ellld Eva N ovig. 2' V' fr 122 The Maroon I Tennis VVith Captain Fowler, Irwin, Boeve, Baker, LeFever, and Thomp- son to choose from, Coach Palen has a tennis team that the school may well be proud of. Although we lost Herzog, a real tennis star last year, we gained an equally good man, Al Irwin. Captain Fowler and Irwin playing doubles should make a very creditable showing. Both men are fine players who invariably do their best to win. Manager Millham has arranged a trip to Cornell later in the year, and has also entered his team in the two day tournament to be held at Peekskill May twenty- first and second. Twenty-three of the best teams in the state are en- tered in this meet. Up to date we have won one match, lost one and tied another, but the boys are working hard and we expect victory for them in their remaining games. The Maroon 123 Athletics or THE JUNIOR crass O11 paper the juniors had the class basketball league Won before the start, but through the loss of several of their stars, they had to content themselves with fourth place. Captain O'Reilly had great dif- ficulty in keeping his team together and it was due to his playing that they managed to stay out of the cellar. The junior girls' hockey teams, captained by Margaret Falvey, and Martha Gold, consisted of hard fighting players, and secured second place in the hockey league. In basketball, Julia Burgevin's team dis- played fine sportsmanship, and was tied with the senior team for second place. A second team, captained by Sarah Feinburg, was also striving for honors. The baseball team easily took first place in the interclass league and many of the girls took part in the interclass track meet. Julia Burgevin and Millicent McLaughlin represented the junior girls on the Girls' Athletic Council. FROM THE WISE. - r A man's first care should be to avoid the reproaches of his own heart.-Addison.
