NVe appreciate the patience theyshowed when reporters asked them for information at untimely inomentsg in- formation which was, however, always graciously given. For Miss lVest's direction of the art work, and Mr. Dickisonis tireless eiiorts to make everyone look his best in the pictures, we are especially grateful. Then, too, we are grateful for the guidance of the expert hand at the helm-for we know, all of us, just how well Miss Bates can take a ship through troubled waters. 6 cfm: 'Y-X '-Sqfx ,J-N '28 TER WIN OF SS TING CLA UA GRAD A9 PROPHECY ERNEST ALLEN-You will be an archaelogist in Babylonia, where you will unearth many bones.

Wfell, these were made by the A7's. The best ones were sent to the Chamber of Commerce for an exhibition of Community Chest posters from all the schools in the city. It was sent as a class problem irom Miss VVest's and Mrs. Mc'W'hirter's classes. lVe are also very much indebted to Mrs. MclVhirter for her drawings in the Thanksgiving and Christmas numbers oi the Sentinel. The A9 art class is responsible for the drawings in the Blue and Gold for'this term. They have been patiently work- ing on their best designs under Miss VVest's supervision. The dainty little ships that are represented were drawn by VVil- liam Got, Hiro Kusudo, Albert Dubin, Kenichi Saito, Florence Mosino, Ester Harris, and Sumi Noma. THE LC2 CLUB 4 The LC2 Club has been a very lively organization this semes- ter. A time for the meetings has been found which does not con- flict with the ball games at noon. This has been a wonderful help to the club. enabling the members to attend all meetings prac- tically one hundred per cent. The program committee has been actively at work and some very interesting experiments have been presented by different members of the club. An 'innovation for this year is the special drill in parliamentary law led by the sponsor. A very interesting trip to Bishop's factory gave some valuable suggestions in the applications of science. Other trips were sched- uled for the semester. It is planned to invite some of the former club members from Jefferson and other high schools to give talks to the club. Of course, the departing A9 members will be given a last good feed before leaving Lafayette. The officers and members of the club are: president, Isidore Schmaierg vice-president, Sam Goodmang secretary, Hyman Geierg sergeant-at-arms, Alex Kalionzesg reporter, Leon Levin. Other members are: Jack Fogel, Harry Drasin, james Sny- hara, Kingi Fukunaga, Kenechi Saito, Ben Schwartz, Fred Oda- mako, Peter Miyaki, and Elias Shalhoub. ' TYPING NOTES Clickety-click-clack is the sound you hear when you go by room 112. That is the roonrwhere the commercial students, under the supervision of Mrs. Tramill, the able and efficient in- structor, type away as if their lives depended upon it. Mrs. Tramill has five classes in typing: the home-making girls, the vocational cooking boys, and the A8, B9, and A9 classes. Naturally the A9 class is the best. Mrs. Tramill ought to be and is proud of this A9 class. Among the many students who have won awards for proficiency and accuracy in typewriting are: Annie Sonney, Erma Angelone, Sylvana Verdugo, Ethel VV in- stein, Lillie Graffia, Marion Breunle, and Viola McBride. The last two girls won awards last term. This term Viola ought to stand on her head and do a jig, for she won a bronze pin marked Expert Typist, the envy of every girl in the class. The Typing Club was discontinued this term on account of pupils not being able to take part in more than one school activ- ity. -Ethel W'instei1'z., A9. THE LAFAYETTE PARK COMMISSION The Lafayette Park Commission, which is composed of Lafayette students, did splendid work this term. Miss Bene nett is their sponsor. The following are the members of the Park Commission: Ricardo Duran, chairmang Manuel Cis- neros, secretaryg Santos Shalhoub, Raoul Cumplido, Henry Bertelli, Ralph Rendon, Herbert Zimmerman, Donald Shan- ley, Wfalter Monschke, and Pete Ceballos. All the boys men- tioned above received L. P. C. buttons. The Lafayette Park Commission problems for the term were to learn the names of all the shrubs on the school grounds, their use and characteristics, and the care of the school window boxes, and vines on the fences. They also arranged the planting on the school grounds, This organization met in Room 3 every' Tuesday and Thursday. On Tuesdays they had their class work and the study of different shrubs. On Thursday they went outdoors and attended to the shrubs, vines and window boxes. Raoul Cumplido and Santos Shalhoub took care of the window boxes while the others took care of the shrubs and vines on the grounds. X TY IE SOC HONOR ACTIVE MEMBERS THE HONOR SOCIETY The Honor Society has done good work this term and has accomplished much. They have, ZIITIOIIQI other things, made a year book. Each term a year hook is made and is kept by the school as a record of the accomplishments and doings ol this organization. ' The Honor Society has managed to have -many good times this term. They had a program or party every time they could think of an excuse ior one. A few of these occasions were: Thanksgiving, l'lallowe'en and Christmas, A Both the work and play proved well worth the elfort on the part of the members, to become a part oi this splendid organization.

The class is under the supervision of the United States gov- ernment as well as the state, and tpr that reason it has to be di- vided into two parts. XVhile one class is busy in the kitchen for a week at a time. the other studies the outlined lessons in the class rooms. The next week those who worked in the cafeteria are in the class rooms while the others prepare the lunches. this turn about being followed during the two-year period which it takes to complete the course. Miss Bates and Mr. Coman have from long experience decided that those who do well in their ordinary class work are the ones that are most likely to make the best cooks. In cooking. as in any- thing else, success comes to those who are not afraid to work, who are in earnest, and who are willing to give their best to what- ever they do. No boys can be accepted under 14, and before they can enter it is necessary for them to get permission in writ- ing from their parents or guardian. It isn't required that a pupil has reached a certain grade, but it is better if he enters sometime between the A7 and A8 grades. But most of the work given is individual and for that reason any boy of any age can profit from the instruction. The entire group now is made up of thirty boys and because of the arrangements which have been made a boy who graduates with a good record can pass right on to high school without loss of time. A long waiting list is on file in the office, but any other worth-while boys who believe they would like to take the course are welcome to apply, since some have to drop out now and then and other changes also have to be made which cause vacancies that have to be filled. During the last term that the boys are in cooking they are allowed to class themselves with the A9's, and they take part in all the things that that class is allowed to do. Those who will grad- uate next February and will receive diplomas are: Ernest Allen, Jr., Lewis Jones, Albert Quarels, and Eugenio V asquez. - -Santos Ramirez, B9. LIBRARYISMS I Sh-sh-sh! Have you ever heard it? Oh, yes, those of us who have entered that sanctuary of silent volumes, row on row, yet not silent, for every page speaks as loudly as any voice we have ever heard, words wonderful and wise. Silence is Golden. Listen and you will hear the voices from out those pages of mys- tery. At eight a.m., the magic portals fling wide and in comes the rush of thirsty souls who would drink from fountains of free- flowing knowledge. They are greeted and directed about by wise- looking assistants, F rieda, Lena, Libbie, Olive, Katie, Ollie Mae, Clara, Beatrice, Tillie, Jeanette, Ben, Archie, Jessie, Asai and Ichrio, besides other supplies and adjuncts. The bee hive of the school, truly it is, from morning till evening. Running along through them come such interesting questions and requests as: 'KI want to End somethin' 'bout Sciencef' Teacher told us to get a small red book. Don't know the name. 'Tm trying to find somethin' for a theme 'bout, 'bout, oh you know, the things we have to hunt up in Junior Business l Is that book in that I was talking about last week ? I have been through the 'A' volume and cannot find Abraham Lincoln at all. So goes the round, sufficient to tax all resources of Noah lVeb- ster, New International Encyclopaedia, and the W'orld Al- manac. Oh no, the librarian's patience is not exhausted, for is it not as endless as the How of words which proceed from the mouths of high school students? Her compensation is very great. The contact with new books, getting them before the attention of the boys and girls and knowing that whatever the mind habitually feeds upon, that will the character become. Here opportunity knocks, not once but incessantly. That every student in Lafayette May use our library free, Each boy and girl a reader, So let our motto he. ' -B. M. L.

THE BALTO CLUB This organization, composed of students of any grade in Lafayette Junior High School, exists for the purpose of arousing interest in the love, care and knowledge of animals and to enjoy the society of others who have the welfare of pets at heart.

BETTER ENGLISH The ship, Better English, has landed safely on the isle of February, and Miss Spencer, commander-in-chief, has allowed the army on board shore leave, only one condition, that they use better English always. The ship, sailing through this term, encountered bad weater, sharks, dangerous reefs, and everything imaginable to turn her out of her course, but she got through safely with a majority of her cargo still undamaged. Alas and alack! The wounded soldiers were not given the privilege of going to the exciting baseball game between the Better English teams. Don't let the errors get the best of you while you are on leave. P. T. A. The P. T. A. of this term has had two executive meetings and one regular meeting. An evening meeting was also held in january, Sargeant johnson being the speaker.

A new system has been developed this term. Violators of certain rules are summoned to court by tags which are handed out by appointed people. The offender goes to court at the next meeting of the council. lf found guilty some punishment is imposed upon him. CITIZENS OF LAFAYETTE There are nearly 125 pupils who deyote the better part of a period each day in working for the school. Q They are the monitors who serve in the different offices, in the student store, in the library. and in the hall, the committee that attends the Student Body Finances, the Council, the Stu- dent Body Oflicers, and we might modestly mention the Sen- tinel Staff. These boys and girls do hard work. and have real jobs. They are learning to take their part in a civic organization and will be all the better citizens because of this training of Lafayette.

THE A9 JUNIOR BUSINESS CLASS The A0 ,Tunior Business class has covered ground rapidly this term. They started the term in the position of entry clerk. The work done by the entry clerks was keeping a record of all the pur- chases made by the company employing them. VVhen the work of the entry clerk was mastered, we were promoted to the position of order clerk. Here we took care of all the orders received by the company. It was certainly a diffi- cult job to read the price lists. Any member of our class can tell you of more than one evening spent in studying the price list and filling out the forms, only to have her answers marked wrong because she had not read the price list correctly. Our next position was that of cashier at the city desk. We all like to handle money, so of course this was lots of fun. VVe had to keep records of all the cash received and the cash paid out. The payroll came next. This suggests Saturday, doesn't it? One has to work all week before he gets his payroll, and we had to work for more than a week and we didnit receive any. XV hen we were assistant general cashiers we had to deal to a large extent with banks. lVe had an exhibit on banking and got many interesting results. lVe learned all about promissory notes, drafts, bills of ex- change and trade acceptances. The next thing we did was, I think, the most interesting part of our termis work. VVe took a course in salesmanship. Each pupil took some product or manufactured goods and undertook to make an exhibit showing the different means and methods of sell- ing it. We each had to write a paper telling of the different steps it took to sell the product. Junior Business has been a most interesting study. It has been lots of fun and lots of work. Wfe could always depend on Miss McCarthy to see that our evenings were well filled. -Jennie Schuck. .filttendanre Monitor: Marie' Curie Club J ATTEN DANCE M ONITORS The work of Mrs. Iarvis's attendance office begins with col- lecting the absence slips. The building is divided in three sec- tions and three girls each period collect the slips. W' hen they have finished this work they peg the board. This means placing the slips alphabetically on the board. During the first period, Lupe Cervantes and Dorothy Hubbard take care of the slips. These are two girls from the junior llusi- ness Class who file our excuses from the day before. Periods three and six June Taylor. Eleanor Banks and Lillian Barnes take care of the scattering slips. That is, if a person has only one slip during the day, the case is investigated by sending for this person. The names of the girls are: Lupe Cervantes. Dorothy Hub- bard, June Taylor, Lillian Barnes, Ellenor Barnes. Mujoko Mi- kuryia, Elnora Bennett, Martha Olf, Victoria Elion, Frances Bar- batta. Florence Harris. Yoshei Hasegowa, Hannah Shapero. Esther Pierce. Mary Luna, Esther Robman, Helen Johnson, and Margaret Brown. MARIE CURIE CLUB B9 and A9 girls taking Science who had A or B in B8 Science, have the privilege of joining the Marie Curie Club. Under the leadership of Miss Bennett our third year has been a very progressive one. The oihcers are as follows: Freda Coleman, presidentg Anna- belle Krown, secretaryg and Annie Barbatta, treasurer. ' Jennie Dorsa, Lilly Graliia, Libby Price, Florence Mosino, Angelina Petralia, Mary Inda, Erma Angeloni. Celia Fishman, Esther Golden, Leona Krock, Blasa Rangel, Marie Bezi, and Rose Salo, are members of the club. The girls of this club are divided into three divisions. The first group of girls is studying plants. They learn how to make leaf prints and how to press plants. The second group of girls is learning how to mount but- terilies. The third group of girls is fmding enough material about women scientists to make a scrap book. VVe have programs once a month, and have taken several trips this term, to the Crescent Creamery, Bishop's, the Per- fection'Bakery, and a newspaper plant.-Ammbellc' Krorwz. DRAFTING ROOM NOTES Fourteen of the graduating boys took the mechanics art course this term. They are: Efren Romo, Florencio Rodri- guez, joe Shultz, Leong Harvey, George Tsuji, james Thorn- ton, Elias Shalhaub, Miyake Yasuki, Kenneth McCoy, James Cameron, Mitsugi Harada, Harvey Bigton, Morris Taylor, and Luxey Irvin. , No doubt some of these boys will earn a living as drafts- men. The aim has been to give them an opportunity to find out ii they had ability and a liking for the work. There is a decided carry over value to the work. Even though a boy does not enter the Held of drafting, he certainly has developed habits of neatness, orderliness, and accuracy, which will prove an asset in any walk of liie. HOME MAKING DEPARTMENT The teachers in charge of the home making girls are Miss Ritner, Miss Tucker, Miss Merrick and Miss Vifebb. It is a two years' course for BS, AS, B9, A9 girls of 14 years of age. Most of the work is done by hand. They train for vocational positions, learn to use power and hemstitching machines, do cater- ing and waitress work, Red Cross work and social projects. The girls graduating this tenn are: Mary Camera, Jessie Mae Dennis, Jessie Duran, Mary Garafola, Madeline Hudson, Irma Reid, Mary Treveso and Minnie Harris. AROUND THE SHOPS Mr. Dutcher's print shop jobs are done this year by regu- lar classes of boys and not by the vocational printing class, since that class has been discontinued. Besides the Sentinel, the boys print cards, tickets, ofiicc blanks, and other things. There are about nity boys in the print shop this term. The term projects for the other shops are radios, electrical apparatuses, strong boxes, mail boxes, dust pans, tables, piano benches, serving cabinets, and davenport tables. There are about one hundred and twenty-one boys in all the shops, ex- cepting the print shop. Mr. Ritchey, Mr. Myers, and Mr. Stone are instructorsg '17 THE STUDENT COUNCIL The Student Council is made up of representatives from each home room. They have done much toward bettering traffic conditions about the school and have also done much as a Safety Committee for the school. The Automobile Club of Southern California has issued to each member a badge, to be worn on the school grounds. The Student Council also acts as a court. They try and sentence any pupil who is sent up for disobeying a monitor. Mr. Dickison acts as judge and the members as jury. The officers are: Mr. Dickison, chairmang Anita Duran, presidentg and Ruth Osborn, secretary. The members are: James Alexander, Rachael Dennis, Jack VVilliams, Milton North, Gustavo Varela, Hennrieta Ramirez, Ellen Thompson, Herman Ganz, Consuelo Garcia, Adrian Smith, Jack Fogel, Frank Moreno, Lucius Johnson, Sollie Cohn, Azerlia Pipkin, Glenna Barnhart, 'Ernest Viril- liams, George Gibson, Liberty Elopez, Fanny Brown, Mar- gurita Urrieta, Iohnie Mae Wfalker, Lincoln Shimidzu, Ilene Harris, Jennie Schuck, Eddie Hoff, Gwendolyn Valentine, -lohnie Mae Johnson, Estella Espinoza, Henry Carr, Willa Mae Lankford, Katie Czeralla, and Myrtle Picou. -I.

JXAAA,-A ' l U I X I F 1 Chrixtmas Clxqir Lafayetie Orchextra ORCHESTRA The orchestra is organized into sections-strings, brass and wood Wind, and percussion. The orchestra brings the school in the auditorium and sends them out by playing beautiful Aloha, which means Farewell to Thee. Sometimes they send the school out to a snappy march. The orchestra members are being trained to lead as well as play, and they are doing great work. The greatest number which the orchestra played is the Christ- mas number. It was studied for the A9 play. During this beautiful play, which was full of Christmas spirit, the orchestra oiferecl the number Around the Christmas Tree or A Yuletide Potpourri. F The word Potpourri means a mixture, like flower petals, such as roses, mixed with -spices, etc., to scent a room. In music it means a production composed of parts brought together without connection. The nrst part of the number was called From Heaven I XVas Sent to Earth. ln this part you can hear the ringing of the Christmas bells. The next was the part called HO Come Little Children. Then Mary Harvey, the cornet soloist, came on the stage, accompanied at the piano by Beatrice Krantman. They played the f'Cantique de Noel, a Christmas chant. There fol- lowed O Faithful Pine, a song about a Christmas treej Praise the Lord g the Sacred N ight, Holy Night g and Adeste Fidelesf' which is a Latin name. It is a very magnificent song. Afterward was a dance, Tomorrow VVill Be Christmas, then O Sanctissimaf' and The Clock Strikes Twelve. The 'next part was a New Year song called The Passing of the Qld Year. In the finale, the Sleigh Ride-Returns Home part, we heard Tillie Karish, our violin soloist. -Hfill-iam Got.

Community singing has been a popular feature of these assemblies. This made a pleasant break in the week's work and was much enjoyed by the students and faculty. During these assemblies, programs for special occasions were featured, such as the Armistice Day program, the Thrift program, the Thanksgiving play and many other interesting performances. A rally was given for the grand piano fund, and the proceeds from various moving picture shows given in our auditorium. usually on Friday evenings, went to the same fund. The great occasion of the term was the A9 Class Play. This time a beautiful Christmas story, lVhy The Chimes Rang, was chosen by Mrs. Thompson, who directed a splen- did performance. Most of you are familiar with the pupils taking part in the play, but I imagine that you couldnft recognize them in a life- time. lflfilfredo Murillo took the leading part as Holger. the peasant boy, and wasn't he an ideal actor? VVilliam Flachs- binder came through with flying colors as Steen, I-lolger's brother. The ample person known as Uncle Bertel was no other than that individual you all know as Mr. Ben Schwartz. If you hadn't seen the program you would never know who the old woman was. Perhaps if you heard her laugh you would know. for everyone knows Jennie Schuck's laugh. Jennie carried through splendidly. Didn't Kenneth McCoy look too dignified for words in those black Howing robes? Then came that perfectly splendid rich man who said, Make way for me, I'm a-coming. Albert Dubin did one hundred per cent in that part. As a courtier, Alex Kalionzes was very handsome and stately. He was sure he'd make the chimes ring! After the dashing courtier came the beautiful woman who said in actions plainer than words, Look 1ne over. This part was taken by Ethel VVinstein. Did you know we had such fine actors? The part of the scholar was played by Hyman Geier and a line scholar he made. It was quite a tedious job to stay all hunched up dur- Two Scene: From the Chrixtmas Play ing the performance. As the lovely young girl, Lylia Carba- jal was too sweet for words. There was a bustle and a rustle and the king swept proudly in, turning out to be Manuel Fer- nandez. Did you get the Angel's message? Lillie johnson has appeared as an Angel several times before. The beautiful organ music was played by John Shackel- ford, and he did splendid work behind the curtain. Bessie Harold, Frances Wakamatsu, Celia Fishman, Marie Bezi, and Lillie Giraffia made up the choir. The organ was given to us for as long as we wanted through the courtesy of Mr. Scott Vlfilliamson of the Southern California Music Company. After hunting all through Los Angelesand vicinity, real chimes were finally secured for the play. VVhy the Chimes Rangf, was the most artistic and beauti- fully presented play at Lafayette for ever so long. The cos- tumes were very pretty and the lighting effect was marvelous. Besides the play there was a motion picture, Snow-XVhite,' and a beautiful orchestration, Around the Christmas Tree, in which Mary Harvey and Tillie Karish were featured in solo parts with Qeatrice Krantzman at the piano. 3 ,v The members of the faculty who did a large part to put the program over, are as follows: Mrs. Thompson, director-in- chief, Mrs. Smith, musical director, Mr. Ritchey, stage man- agerg Mr. Dutcher, printing, Miss Ritner, costume assistanceg and Mrs. McXVhirter, art director. The members of the A9 class who helped are as follows: Marion Breunle, Freda Coleman, and Juanita Braun of the costume committee, and Leon Levin, Dorothy Wfoodrow, and Aszerlea Pipkin of the advertising staff. Lucille VVonderle acted as prompter. Virgil junior High School as a friend in need, was a friend indeed. They, having given the play before, donated to us the use of all the costumes and scenery as a Christmas present. NVasn't it nice of them? That saved us, according to Mrs. Thompson, an amount equal to one hundred dollars. The program was given in two performances and after the matinee the A9's had their Class Party. Oh, what a day it was! -Ethel Winstein, A9.

ON THE TRAIN TO CALIFORNIA my XV hen I was live years old, the first trip I had ever taken on a train was from Boston to California. just after the train started, a tall, slender man in blue uniform entered our car. He offered somcrcandy to mother and the other passengers. VVhen I asked mother why she refused it, my brother spoke up and told me that I must never accept anything from strangers. In our car there was a very kind and gentle lady, who offered a large greedy girl and myself her chocolates. This selfish girl took the box and carried it off to the far end of the car and made a face at me. CBy the way, I'm very fond of chocolates.j Then a porter came up to my mother and asked her permis- sion to take me to the dining car for a few minutes. I did not understand why. He carried me in his arms and put me down in front of a very charming woman and her little son. She was dressed in a beautiful beige colored gown, with furs and dia- monds. She asked, VVhat is your name ? I answered her shyly, Celia She then said, Celia, let me see your hand. Oh, yes, a tiny hand like yours would do. I wondered what my little hand was to do. She continued, I accidentally dropped a ten dollar gold piece in between the seat. Easily I reached down and got the money. As a reward I received a big silver dollar. I thanked her joyfully. She kissed me and her little boy smiled good-bye to me. The first thing I did on returning to my car was to go over to the candy man and buy a large box of chocolates. I offered mother and some of the passengers my candy. I then took the remainder and sat down where that spiteful girl could see me en- joying them after hers were all gone. But mother made me offer some of the candy to her, too, be- cause she said only polite, generous, little girls could live in the Golden State. -Celia F-islzman, A9. HAM PEGGOTTY Ham Peggotty, a brave, true lad, was Mr. Peggotty's nephew. VVhen I-Iam was a small boy his father was drowned, and as he was motherless, Mr. Peggotty adopted him. I-Ie was of a strong character and had much will-power. I-Ie helped his father as much as he could, for Mr. Peggotty was truly as good as any father could be to an adopted son. lfVhen Ham became old enough to go to work he started his trade as a Hsherman with much enthusiasm. . Being engaged to Emily and then having such a tragedy hap- pen to him reveals to you his true character and shows in what a noble way he was able to take the worse trouble. His death was a loss for all. Everyone who knew him felt it and was much grieved. Although this was the case, they all re- joiced that he died a hero's death. -Lucille Wonderle, A9. STEERFORTH blames Steerforth was a spoiled and selfish boy whose mother thought he was the most wonderful person in the world. He had a violent temper when his will was opposed and once when Miss Dartle made him angry he practiced the hammer-throw on her. He made friends easily because of his good looks, his ease in company and his strong personality. He had intense pride which he inherited from his mother. Although he had al- most killed Bliss Dartle she loved him and would always ad- mire whatever he said or did. Although his mother loved him dearly, yet when he ran away with Emily, instead of forgiving him and calling him back home she let her pride get the hest of her and she would not call him hack. His only redeeming feature was his love for David, He really liked him even though he used him rather sellishly. Although his running away with Emily seemed a cowardly thing to do, yet he did not die a cowards death. He died nghting the storm with the last of his men until the final moment when he was engulfed in the roaring waters of the stormy sea. -Albert Dubin, AI9. THOMAS TRADDLES Traddles went to school at Salem House. He was the most unfortunate of all the boys at school. Everything he did seemed wrong, especially in the eyes of Mr. Creakle. He got a heating from Mr. Creakle almost every day. Tommy had a habit of drawing skeletons every time he was sad or when he received a beating. This seemed to 'make him happy and in a short time he would be his same jolly self again. One time when Steerforth was making fun of Mr. Mell, a teacher, Tommy told him he should be ashamed. The rest of the boys thought the same but would not dare to say so. For this Tommy got another beating from Mr. Creakle. After Traddles left Salem House he had a job in a lawyer's office where he worked hard and studied, for he wanted to be a lawyer. He fell in love with a girl by the name of Sophie, a sweet girl of a family of ten. She promised to wait until Traddles could be a lawyer and out of financial difficulties. Their motto was, Whit a11d hope. Traddles bought a table witl1 a marble top and a flower pot and St2l.11Cl as tl1e first step toward furniture for l1is house and treasured them greatly. After about five years l1e was able to marry the dearest girl ill tl1e worldf' As he was a kind 1112111 l1e took some of Sophie's sisters under l1is roof.

About the fireside at night you will find Sophie's sisters and the kind Traddles beaming 011 l1is dearest girl in tl1e world. -Victor N-ickerson, A9. JUGGLING JERRY This poem, written by George Meredith, tells of two old peo- ple who traveled arou11d following fairs, circuses a11d -attending the royal occasions. They traveled i11 a wago11 p11lled by tl1eir old gray l1orse. This old 111an Jerry made l1is living juggling at tl1ese fairs.

A STORM AT SEA One morning Dorothy and I thought we would take a trip. But how shall we travel ? said I. There are so many ways of traveling from one place to another. There is the train, auto- mobile, bus, the giant of the air, and the big ocean steamer. Oh! I have it, said Dorothy, let us go on the big ocean steamer. That's a good idea. VVe haven't ever been on a ship either. That will be a good experience for us as well as a thrill. After necessary preparations, we are ready to board the ship, with many other passengers. VVe are now on the ship looking from one place to another, and asking hundreds of questions which no one could answer. For instance, Sailor, where do the waves come from and where do they go ?!' Wfe would stand for hours looking at the sea gulls and the rushing waves crashing against the ship. Soon night comes. Everyone is asleep in his cozy bed. The thunder begins to make a loud noise, and lightning flashes in every crack of the cabin, even through the key hole. The wind begins to blow harder and harder. The rain beats upon the roof of the ship like drops of stone. In a few minutes we hear someone yell, A storm! Later there are many such cries. The storm has turned the ship out of its course. It is dark, wet, and the cold breeze chills you through and through. Everyone begins to get out of bed, putting on rain coats and scrambling for the life savers. The waves are so high and rough they are coming into the ship. VVhat shall we do? everyone screams. VVe are lost. XV e are lost! The shouts come from every direction. But see far into a distance, what is that? A light! A light! All the time our ship is slowly sinking. The lights we see in the distance are growing closer and closer. The water is now up to our knees. What shall we do? VVe are all still watching the light. It is growing closer and closer. Hurrah! Hurrah! It is a giant ship stronger than ours. We are saved! VVe are saved, everyone cries. Everyone begins piling on the other ship. just as Dorothy and I, always last but not least, step from the lost ship, it sinks deep, deep into the sea. -Irene lViIson, A9. MRS. GUMMIDGE , Mrs. Gummidge was a character in Dickens' story of David Copperfield. She was a widow and thought that she was the worst off person in the world. She was continually saying, Oh, I am a lone lorn creature, and everything goes contrary with me. She thought no one cared for her and that she was in every- one's way. If she was cooking potatoes and they burned, al- though the whole family had to eat them, Mrs. Gummidge would sigh, shake her head, and whine, But I feel it more than anyone else. No matter how much bad luck someone else had Mrs. Gummidge would always say that her troubles were worst. She often made herself more unpleasant than was necessary by such fretting and expressions and often she made others uncomfortable with her whining, which was some- times very disagreeable. Mrs. Gummidge lived with Mr. Peggotty, his adopted daughter, little Emily, and his adopted son, Ham, in a boat house by the sea in Yarmouth. The boat from which the house was made was turned up- side town and it had little rooms and a place to cook. Mrs. Gummidge had a very nice little room for herself. It was not until a real tragedy happened to little Emily that Mrs. Gummidge first realized that she was not the worst off in the world. Emily met a rich handsome young man called Steerforth. He had all the opportunities he needed to become a successful person in life but he would not use these opportunities and by being selfish and no account he not only made himself suffer but also the innocent little Emily who ran away with him. There was a terrible shipwreck on the shores of Yar- mouth. Many were drowned and the dear little boat house was wrecked and scattered in the sand. Steerforth's body was washed ashore among the ruins of the home he had wronged. Mrs. Gummidge became a changed woman because she found out that her troubles were not the hardest to bear. She was also very happy indeed because Mr. Peggotty said she could go to Australia with he and little Emily. -Aszerlea Pipkin, A9. L in URIAH HEEP In my opinion, Uriah Heep is the ugliest man I have ever heard of. His appearance alone made you shudder, and when you penetrated his character you thoroughly detested him. Some-- times I felt, and I think everyone felt the same way, like choking that Uriah. ' Uriah was a tall, thin, bony man with red hair, no eyebrows to boast of. and, of course, no eyelashes. His hand felt, when clasped, like a cold fish in the dark. He was always rubbing his hands as if trying to get rid of the clamminess, but he couldn't succeed. The word, 'umb1e, was Urial1's favorite expression. No matter what he did he was 'umble. XVell, humble or not humble, Uriah Heep was a low-down, one hundred per cent crook. The two chief ambitions of his life were to become a partner of Mr. Wficklield and to marry Agnes. One of these ambitions came true, but, thank goodness, the other didn't, for Agnes thor- oughly detested him. Uriah got control of Mr. NVickF1eld's affairs by making him sign papers whenhe was under the influence of wine. Things became worse and worse until out of the clear blue sky' came Mr. Micawber's wonderful detective ability. Traddles and Mr. Mi- cawber completely cornered Uriah, who was sent to prison, to the joy of everybody concerned. 3U11llJlCl16SS,' must have been a good refuge of distress for when David was visiting a prison he met Uriah in there and still Uriah was claiming to be humble. It was a fixed scheme between himself and Littimer, another crook, but I hope Uriah Heep stayed in prison for the rest of his life. -Ethel l'V'l'll5f01.7'1, 519. 0 4' haw' 4 .
