No matter which, A Remington Portable Typewriter will be of great value. If you enter college many courses re- quire typewritten papers. If a business life is pursued a personal writing mach- ine will be equally helpful. The Remington Portable is the only portable typewriter that has a STAND- ARD KEY BOARD, with four rows of keys, no shifting for figures. It has every familiar convenience of the big machine.

Why? Because people who have tried it like it so much. The corn 'is popped mechanically on a hot plate: which is the only scientific way in which to pop it, as then it does not come in contact with the flame or fumes of the gas. After being popped the corn is super heated, which takes out the surplus moisture and toasts it, making it crisp and crackling, then it is automatically buttered with pure creamery butter. It makes a treat Fit for a king. Follow the crowd. Try a bag or carton now and be convinced. James O'Geen No. 2 Bank St. Le Roy, N. Y.

Uartoons dealing with war. elections, and a hundred other things make the idea so plai11 that everyone can understand it at a glance. The ordinary person does not care to read lengthy editorials concerning candidates, and so forth. The serious cartoon explains everything with a few lines so that everyone may understand it. Notice the average person when he unfolds his daily newspaper. To what does he turn first? XVhy. he looks at the Cartoons or comics.

Page F0urteen T H E R E D A N D B L A C K Commencement Number v Class of 1923 History of Class of I9Z3 Now it came to pass that on the 23rd day of the first month of this yea1', the Senior Class did band themselves together One together And measure And score and tive young men and maids were joined into the Senior class. the class did weigh 3584 lbs. and in height did 225 cubits. it came to pass that Mr. Taylor called the Seniors unto him and spoke unto them saying. As is the custom in this school ye shalt come together into one united body. for ye shall thereby tind strength in unity. And he said. choose from your number one who will preside over you. And as he had ordered so were his commands obeyed- And they did choose Emerson Uullings to be the one who should preside over them. l+'urthermore Mr. Taylor spake unto them saying. Choose ye one who will aid him in his arduous labors. And they chose one by the name of Marion Pfisterer. And again Mr. Taylor commanded them saying. Choose ye a Scribe so that all your doings may be chronicled with care. And they did as they were hidden and they ehose one Betty Brown. And once again Mr. Taylor spake saying. Choose one of your number. whose integrity is assured. to whom shall be intrusted whatsoever shekels and other treasures ye shall gain from, time to time and for this great work they did choose Rudolph Lapp. And he bade them that they choose colors to place upon their banners- A11d they of one accord did onder that Black and Gold should be their colors. In like manner they did choose the Rose for their tiower and Excelsior for their motto. And as the CllSi0lll was they did decide at that meeting to purchase class rings. And having observed rings chose one. which the jewels of her glory never surpassed. Now it came to pass that of many kinds they linally the queen of Sheba in all Miss Connor did summon the Seniors unto her. and spake a play. the name whereof is, In the Days of XVashing- ton. saying: Lo, I have written Ye therefore shalt enact this play the 22nd and 2111-41 days of the Second 111onth of this year. And as she had spoken so it was performed. The play was a colonial play which required beautiful costumes and a beautiful stage setting. ' Commencement Number T H E R E D' A NDB L A C K Page Fifteen The cast did perform tl1eir parts well a11d the play was a great success. But lo, on the iii-st night the mantel piece did fall, and great was the fall thereof and great the commotion arous- ed- And the wrath of the Seniors and Miss Connor was terrible to behold. and there was much weeping and gnash- ing of teeth. But all was forgotten in the success of the second night, when the cast was praised greatly so that the hearts of the young men and maidens were greatly chee1'ed and their heads began to expand. As was the custom the Seniors had rented their cos- tumes of a costumer whose greed they knew not of until they came to settle with her. , But they did send a delegation of their strongest men to seek her out. And it came to pass that they did iind her and did strive mightily to urge her to cut. down her price- But, like the Jezebel of old, she strove the more iiercely and she prevailed over the young 1ne11, whom she drove out of her home and looked upon them with an ungodly scorn. Now it came to pass that on the 27th day of that same month and year, the Seniors did have a day of rejoicing and they did act most foolishly. And behold the damsels did appear as young maids with pinafores. short dresses, hair ribbons and dolls that were marvelous to behold. And the young men did likewise come in dress suits gaudy vests and overalls, having beclouded their counten- ances with much rogue and powder. And they did bring a horse with them and it came to pass that the Juniors did strive for that horse and did Cap- ture it and they did have much sport with it. And it came to pass that these fair damsels and young men did enter the precints of Mr. Taylor and he was great- ly mystiiied at their strange actions and he knew not what to do with them. And it so happened that in the evening of the same day the Senior Play cast did gather themselves together for a feast at Lally's. And they did gorge themselves to their capacity which was great. And the price of this feast did set them back a great deal. - And every one danced and made merry and the faculty did entertain them with stories and all went home rejoic- ing- And it came to pass that in the next week the Juniors and Seniors did have a great condict. And many were disabled on either side and many colors were taken. And the Juniors did hang the Senior by the neck from the elm tree but he was rescued at two o'clock that morning by a roving band of Seniors. They all of his heart seniors harm And in tl: rejoiced greatly tl.at such was the fortitude and the oxen strength of his neck that no did befill him. P I11't'Sl-'1100 of the Juniors the Seniors did burn an efigy with which to ridicule them.

And it came to pass that the Seniors on the twenty seventh day of the fourth month of this year did hold a ball in the gymnasium. And they decorated the gym most beautifully with streamers and many Japanese lanterns. And they did hire Art Taylor to furnish the music. And a 'great crowd did come and there were eight score and seven couples and the Seniors made a great fortune. And it came to pass on the eighth day of the lifth month of this year that Mr. Taylor did announce the names of those who were to. receive honors for their faithful work in school. One person by the name of Florence Ganiard was Valedictorian. A certain Velma Smith was Salutatorian: . And two fair damsels, Grace Crocker and Doris Noble, also received scholarship hono1's. And two other maidens, Marion Pfisterer and Margaret 0'Neill, were honored for literary .acliievements - And he also did announce that two youg men. George Jones and William Wansor, had received honors in oratory. And it came to pass that the Seniors did decide to have a class day. And so the class was called together and the President spake unto them saying, Choose ye a prophet so that he may interpret to each of you the things which the fates' have for ordained. And hc also bade them choose a poet that he might sing their praises 81111 tell of their wondorous works. And they also were hidden to choose a will-maker that their will and testament might be drawn up so that their possessions might be left to the deserving ones. And they were also ordered to choose a class orator that he might give an oration cf the Sonior's noble deeds. And they also at that meeting chose an Historian that he might write a complete history of all the Seniors' wonderful works- And the choice of the Seniors did fall on Betty Brown, Gertrude Cooper, Charles Miserentino. Rudolph Lapp, and Emerson Cullings to do this work. And it was also decided at that meeting that the Juniors and Seniors should hold their annual picnic the twenty-sixth day of this month and year.

Near her is a great stack of unwritten papers and a barrel of pencils. It is the vice-president of the class of '23. This means that the president must be somewhere near.

The importance of little things cannot be emphasized enough. There is some little idea in the life of every business man that, if properly developed, will bring great. great results. Students in high school! Students in the grades! Do not neglect the little things! The little things we are neglecting today may be the very ones that, if worked out. would complete our lives.

Sweep from your vision the great cities, the rushing trains, the broad-highways. speeding automobiles and well culti- vated lields. In their place imagine villages composed of long houses, wigwams and tepee, skilfully manned canoes, dirt trails winding in and out along river bank or lake shores and vast forests in which wild life abounds. You will have Western New York as it was a short time before the French and Indian Wars. It is unfair to say that the Indians were entirely cruel or barbarous. for early settlers tell of the moral tone and high sense of honor and loyalty of their copper skinned neighbors. Proud of their mighty lliltltlll, they upheld its traditions and customs with rigorous care. As the Indian was a constant traveller it was neces- sary that he have trails. So, centuries ago a network of trails bound the Indian villages together, just as to day broad highways bind the thriving cities and towns in closer union. The trails winding in and out through the dim lofty recesses of the forest were but fifteen or eighteen inch- es wide: worn smooth and hard from a century of tramp- ing IIl000ilSlIl9ll feet. They crossed the crests of lofty hills looking down into deep wooded valleys. They followed the banks of swirling streams and babbling brooks skirting the marshy and rough places. Could the Seneca of two hundred years ago visit the Genesee trail to-day. he would tind all l1is old surroundings so altered that he would not be able to realize that this was once his home. Strange vehicles whirl, at an un- believeable pace over the trail broadened and covered with macadam. the wooded slopes are covered with towns and farmsg the hills dotted with green and brown fields re- lieved here and there by la1'ge orchards. The only famil- iar thing he would see would be the muddy Genesee. which goes on its lawless course forever. But, no longer does the redskin roam the woods and plains. He is fast disappearing from his native land. Be- fore many years have passed the remnants of the true Americans will have departed. They will be but the dim memory of a far distant yesterday. -Marion Pfisterer. The Builders of Success The XY01'lll judges a man by his success. and his success by the same practical standards as it does real estate- You have walked down the street and have noticed the sign For Sale, tacked on a house. You stop to look at the house and snmetimes the lot even attracts your attention. You think. I'd like to own that house, or else you say- Who would want to live there? Did yo11 ever stop to estimate your success as you do the value of that property? Your advantages and opportunities might represent the lot, and your success the house. Are you the type that is admired? There is the man who has had countless oppor- tunities. money and influence and yet he has done noth- ing to bring himself above the ordinary level of people. He is really the personiiication of a beautiful building lot. dis- figured with a run down house and surrounded with faded bill boards. Tll91'9 are so lnany people who belong to this class of opportunity wasters that no one has made him- self important enough to be used for an illustration. Then there is the man who has had the average opportimities. a limited education, a little money and some influential back- ing to start him in life. He can be compared to the aver- age city house built upon the average city lot. He neither benefits nor distigures the 'world. There is the man who has started in the pursuit of great things, but who tired of his task' and capped his structure when he had completed but one story, thus making it out of proportion. He belongs in the class with the man who has started many things but who has accomplished none. with the man whose struc- ture is like that of an old fashioned farm house with wings that have been added from time to time ni-nrring the beauty as well the usefulness. Butt there are different types of men like Roosevelt, Milton and James. who have had opportunities. money and iniiuence and who have made the most of their advantages. erecting structures like state- ly colonial mansions. their beauty set off by their natural surroundings. But there is a higher type than this. men like Lincoln, who have built upon the barren rock a castle, wonderful both in art and inspiration. So magnificent is this structure that in gazing at its beauty we forget the jagged rock. the years of trial that were needed for its completion and lose ourselves in admiration of Lincoln, our greatest builder of success. --Doris Noble.

Let us, therefore take immediate steps toward a safe and lasting peace among nations. that we may give to the children of our posterity advantages, better, or at least equal to those which our ancestors so graciously bestowed upon us- A permanent world peace cannot be had without effort and sacriiice. That we may reap the benetits of such a co-operation among nations, we must give up our selfish ideals: we must halt our greedy grasp for materialistic gain and enter more into the field of cultureg we must broaden our views and rise above the predjuices which have so long blinded our vision: and last, but far from least we must learn to have a decent regard for our co- workers and their endeavors. Let us make our institutions as impregnable to attacks as the rocks of Gibraltar. In a word :-let each and everyone of us in unison advance this greatest movement of the ages, so that when our sturdy forefathers look down upon our efforts, they may recognize them as an outgrowth of that tiny seed planted in '76 which has grown to such proportions that it envelops all the nations, and promises to give dominance to the White Race in a world at peace. -George Jones. Our Highest Duty This nation has a great inheritance, an inheritance which we should value. Our country is built upon a rock foundation, and will be secure as long as those ideals, which are its life are respected. What are these ideals? It has been this idea of equality that has brought to our shore the best types from other lands. This sense of equality has kindled the tire of ambition in the hearts of millions and led to that individual advancement that ill total forms the motive power of civilization. But it is long since economy has been regarded as a virtue. There has been great extravagance of time, of money, of ability. Everywhere there has been a tendency to get away from old ideals,-equality, happiness, economy, liberty. Not always the person best iitted for a position or a public oilice secures it. There is a ma'd rush for happiness, which can 11ever be attained. l-lxtravagance is rampant, and personal liberty, rather than the welfare of the people as a whole, is the order of the day. Classmates: For four years we have been working toward this goabdeveloping the ideals that will govern our later lives.We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to the Board of Education, who have been so tireless in considering what is best for the school, Mr. Taylor, our able superin- tendent, and the faculty who have labored, not only to teach us languages, and science, and history: but who have endeavored to ilnplant the highest ideals. We will go, some to other institutions of learning: others to our chosen work. But, whatever step we take. today our horizons widen. Let us take with us into this broader life the tirm resolve to uphold with all our strength the ideals that have made America great, the ideals on which depend to a great degree the future of our nation-equality, happi- ness, economy, liberty. And now farewell, and yet, 'tis not farewell, if farewell means to fare alone and disunited- God hath set our days to music in the self same tune. -Florence Ganiard.

Dennis saw a tiny yard fenced in by a stone wall. over which a vine grew in reckless profusion, thrust- ing its pinky dewy blossoms saucily over the path, which led to a tiny, low, thatched stone cottage. In the door- way of the cottage sat h-is mother, a sweet kindfaced woman with some knitting in her hands. He longed for the day when he would have saved enough to bring' her to him but it seemed very far distant. As Dennis lay musing and dreaming of the little cot- tage at Restevor, he heard a wee voice at his elbow pipe out. uwhat is it that's a burdening your mind. Dennis Bryn?

As Dennis spied her. she skipped from her lofty perch and clapped her hands. immediately, from behind racks and bushes the tiniest. gay-est throng he had ever seen danced forth.

The boys were watching him also, but not with approval. He realized the sensation he was creating and quite enjoyed it. 'The girls thought him stunningg medium height, slen- der, light hair, which shown resplendently with recent application of hair-groom, gray tweed sport suit cut i11 the latest fashion. and, what offended the other boys the most, a lavender silk shirt. They felt suddenly conscious of their comfortably rolled shirt sleeves or rough sweaters. ' Lee I-lrayford, athletic to the backbone, hissed one word i11 the ear of the red haired boy who occupied the next seat. Slicker! Buddy M4-Allister nodded his brilliant head- Scotch he was. but his hair was not the sandy color peculiar to his country men. It was just plain red. One liked his face instantly. wide-set brown eyes that seemed always to be laughing, a straight nose, and firm chin. He smiled now as he answered, Looks that way but you IIBVQI' can tell from appearances. Everyone was back early that noon and the new mem- ber of U. H. S. was the general topic of conversation, where- as the outcome of the Base Ball season had before occu- pied all thoughts. Nora U'Malley shot Buddy a mischieveous glance from her blue eyes. I think he's just marvelous, she mur- mured in her litling I1'ish accent. His folks have taken the big house on the hill. And isn't his name romantic though? Percival Anthony Chesterton. the Boston Ches- tertons, you know. Buddy's face clouded. Aw, Nora, I didn't suppose you were like the rest of these girls. falling for all that rot. The battle was on. This was what Nora had been waiting for. The rivalry between Scotch and Irish was never lll0l'0 keen than between Scotch-American Buddy and Irish-American Nora- Indeed? tossing her dark curls. I think it would be well if certain boys in this school would polish up a little. All that some of you think of is athletics. Don't you suppose we girls like someone who is rather gal- hint? Rats! retorted Buddy heatedly. That's it! Fall for a guy that looks like a collar-ad! Well. it's a 20011 thing some one came along to entertain you girls. for most of us have got to concentrate 011 base ball if we are going to beat Benton this season. For an instant interest lighted Nora's vivid little face. The big game with Benton! Benton, their old rival, Wh0 had sent them to an ignominious defeat last year. They must win! Uh. they must. She only shrugged, however. Base ball. always base ball. Here comes Percival now. I think he would look like Rudolf Valentino of he were dark instead of light: don't you? I imagine he da11c- cs divinely. Buddy stalked off indignantly and the minute his back was turned Nora began to giggle, Nora, Nora, remonstrated her friend. Edith Ander- son. Why do you delight in plaguing that poor boy? He is so awfully modest about his athletic accomplishments. too- Here comes Dot Brayford with Mr. Chesterton. At least we are going to meet him. In the days that followed Buddy became more and more bewildered. He could not understand the sudden change in Nora. There had been a dance in the gym Fri- day night of the week after Percival's arrival. Buddy had neglected to speak of it, particularly to Nora, for he always took her to the high school dances. Friday after- noon when he had mentioned it she had retorted airily, Oh, I'm going with Percival Chesterton. He asked me YVednesday. Sorry! And she had been sorry afterwards when she saw the hurt look in his eyes as he turned away- Buddy sat silently with some of the other boys and watched the dancers, instead of taking part. Always his eyes follow- ed KANora's Iiame colored dance frock. Nor was Percival's attentiveness lost on Buddy. Had he been a little older and less honest with himself he would have taken Edith or Dot and pretended that he didn't care. But deceit had been left out of Buddy's make-up so he stole away early and went for a ride in The Turtle. This was a sport car which he had built on a Ford chassis and painted a flashing green. It was the horror of the whole family. Buddy, however, had a stubborn will of his own. Ride in the family car he would not. The Turtle conveyed him wherever he wished to go. -As he tu1'ned into l'ourt street after his ride he saw an expensive car stop before N0l'2l'S home. He heard a familiar laughing voice and then Percival speaking. He drove swiftly past. Hello, Buddy. came Nora's voice- Buddy did not answer. The next morning Buddy awoke. hating the whole universe- In the days that followed. his heart was tilled with bitterness. Nora had failed him. Ever since the day seven years before, XVIM-ill the 0'Malleys had nioved into the corner house on Uourt St.. these two had been friends- Now this Percival person had arrived from Boston and it was only natural that Nora should be flattered by his attentions. Before, she had played ball and roller- skated after school. They had worked out the plans for The Turtle together. Nora. perched perilously on the top rail of the back fence, had watched him and her big brother. Jim. build it. She had even chosen the bright green paint and helped apply it. But now she was weigh- ed down by the oppressive dignity of her sixteen years. Where before she had been bubbling over with enthusiasm for all school activities. she had acquired an air of com- plete boredom. That was not all. Nora. as a last touch of sophistication. had put her hair up. When in the presence of this new Nora. Buddy. a year and a half her senior. felt like a crude little boy. Their easy comradship of former days had vanished completely. entered the house he was pale but perfectly self-controll- Page Twenty-four T H E R E D A N Un a certain Saturday morning the whole world seem- ed flooded with sunshine. It appeared to be just an ordin- ary spring day in late May to most people.. To every boy or girl who attended Crandalton High it was vitally im- portant. At three o'clock the Crandalton base ball team would face that of her enemy on the Benton diamond. The McAllister phone rang and Buddy eagerly snatch- ed down the receiver. He was in a fever of expectancy for, as the crack pitcher. of the Crandalton team, today he would be called upon to uphold the fame of his school- As he listened to the voice at the other end of the wire he tiushed hotly at first, but before the conversation was finished his face was very white. A few moments after- wards he walked through the kitchen and his mother ask- ed. Going over to practice, sonny'? He paused, hand on the door-knob, his back toward her. 'tNo, he answered i11 a voice which strove to be in- different. 'Tm not playing to-day. He went down the back steps whistling. Mrs. Mc- Allister stared after her son's retreating back. incredulity written on her face. Buddy not going to play? Impos- sible! Why, l1e'd planned on this for weeks. What could have happened? Buddy, out of sight of tl1e house. threw himself face down beneath an apple tree in the garden. In less than live hours the two teams would meet. He could see every member of his own team: knew just how they would look. There would be a big crowd. banners waving, students cheering. And then, they would battle it out to the end.

She was unconciously expressing the words that Jim had told her were Buddy's- Is your baseball suit here? Then go and get it on. I'll give you tive minutes. All right, Buddy's voice was jubilant as he took the stairs three steps at a time. tearing off his sweater. Get out 'The Turtlef The folks are using the big car. Exactly seven minutes later, the little green car shot out of the drive Way, narrowly missed the silent policeman at the corner, and whirled past a startled pedestrian. Once out of town, they went even faster. Fields, farm houses. telephone poles. flashed by. People turned to stare at the flying car with its two occupants: a red haired boy in a baseball suit and a dark haired girl at the wheel. Third inning is probably about over, shouted Buddy. Nora nodded and opened her mouth to speak but was stopped by a low report. A blow-out! And the spare tire is in the garage. groaned Buddy. We are right i11 front of a farm house. exclaimed Nora. They knocked and called in vain. No-body home! Nora looked at Buddy. despair in her eyes. Then her face lighted. 'Tm sure I saw a car through that open barn door. Let's see! No sooner said than done. There was a rather dilapi- dated Ford, and Nora cried out with joy. An extra tire was strapped at the rear. Take it, Buddy. quick! The car? No, No! The tire. , But --Q, murnmred Buddy. But, nothing! Bring it along. I'll copy the name off their mailbox and we'll semi 'em the money later. In a short time they were once more .skimming the white road with the smoke from Benton factories curling upward in the distance. The down hearted and hopeless members of the Cran- dalton team were just about to take their places for the fifth inning. There came a crash, and through an opening in the fence flashed a home made green racer. With a SO1'99C'llill2 of brakes it slid to a sudden stand-still almost at the edge of the diamond. As a red haired boy leaped from the car. a wave of noise swept the l'randalton section of rooters: the tense faces of the players relaxed and they crowded around him with shouts of joy. The Benton pitch- er sauntered over to the group, a sneer twisting his lips. Better get out while the gettings good. Score is S to tl in favor of us,'y he informed the new-comer. That so? questioned Buddy. slanting his cap jauntily over 0119 eye. We'll have to see what we can do to change that. After a few brief explanations the players went on to the field. There was one ditference. however. Percival Anthony Chesterton was reposing on the substitute bench. a sullen look on l1is face. while Buddy was in his usual place. Good night, groaned a Benton rooter. Look at that red headed guy pitch. If this keeps up And he had cause to worry for Buddy was pitching Page Twenty-six T H E R E D .A ND BLACK Com mencement Number his most bewildering curves across the plate. Benton had been so sure of winning that they had grown careless. The first man had gone to bat, recklessly and throwing jests to the crowd. He struck out. So did the one who fol- lowed him, and the next. The grandstand became a howl- ing mob. Then Urandalton began to score. Buddy played as he never had before but it. seemed as if he were moving in a dream. Finally the score stood 10-10- It was the last inning and Urandalton was up to bat. The Benton pitcher was determined that Grandalton should not score. Ex- citement, which had been at a high pitch all through the game. died down for a while, the spectators worn out with shouting. Suddenly Benton realized what was happening. Three t'randalton men on bases and the red headed player up to bat- - So much depended on him! Buddy glanced around: at Nora standing by the bleachers with Jim, at The Turtlej' which had carried them to Benton in record-breaking time, at Percival slumped in the sub bench, at the pitcher, who was grimly sizing him up. He drew a deep breath and held his bat lightly: he did 11ot swing it as the others had but held it still. Then the ball was coming toward him. He struck and missed. Again he struck and again he missed. One more strike! A deadly quiet had fallen over the watchers. Buddy knew that all Urandalton was holding its breath. Again the ball was curving toward him. He struck --4. Every person was on his feet. Vp. up. soared the ball. It Seemed to be going into the very clouds. And in the 1119311- time. Buddy and the other three were tearing round the diamond, every muscle straining, while the Benton players were frantically begging their out-fielders to catch it. But the ball flew on de- and over the high fence which sur- rounded the athletic field. As Buddy slid home in a cloud of dust hc heard a great shouting and stamping. The game was theirs, 14-10. ' Buddy rose a bit unsteadily to his feet. Lee Brayford was pounding him on the back and shouting, XVe've won, man! We've won! Buddy, old boy. you've saved the day for Crandalton. Bob Mt-Knight turned a hand-spring and came up in front of Buddy. grinning. lVhat does it feel like to be a hero? Won! Your name will go down in the annals of U. H.

The lad said that as he was coming home from his aunt's, about ten o'clock. it was necessary for him to cross the meadow. When he was half way over. he saw something move on the stile that crossed the fence. He approached nearer and saw that it was a girl of about eighteen. As he started towards her she vanished, and the boy. terribly frightened, scampered home. People did not take much stock in this story, laying it to an over indulgence in ginger cookies, but never-the-less. the next night quite a few re- sponsible. and otherwise, citizens went quietly out to have a look. The next morning the report went about town that the boy had not lied. for a great many people had seen the ghost with their own eyes. The natives spent many days wondering whose ghost it was, but nobody could think of a death in Mr. Lord's meadow. Finally, when the excitement had almost 'died down, it broke out again and rose to a fever heat. An old sea captain. Richard Chalker by name. remembered that when he was about twenty years old a girl friend of his had been killed in that lneadow. She was terribly afraid of cows. and when coming home from school. she had to go through Mr. Lord's meadow, in which there were a few of the animals. She got safely across the field and mount- ed the stile. As she started to get down she turned and saw a cow coming towards her. 'Thinking it was after her. she jumped and fell. apparently dead- The next day she was buried, and a great many people attended her fun- eral. As the service was being read. the Captain thought he saw her move but later decided it had been just his imagination. That was the end of Chalker's story. The curious wanted the body dug up and so, after get- ting a permit f1'om the village clerk, they proceeded to eX- hume it. As the casket. which was still whole. was brought to the surface. a hush fell over the people. craning their necks to see. The undertaker waited a few minutes and then began to carefully remove the cover- Inside was the skeleton of a young woman and it was lyiny on its face! The girl had been buried alive! Curious enough, after the skeleton had been put in its proper position. no ghost was ever seen in Mr. Lord's meadow. But in Haddam. even to this day. no one if he is in his proper mind, ever crosses the meadow. -'2G.

Thirteen healthy looking youngsters were brought down to represent the Blue and White of Batavia. Two minutes after the whistle blew. LeRoy had scored one basket. Une by o11e Batavia substituted its men. At the end of the game, all of the thirteen were able to boast of having played. The final score was 39 for Le Roy and 11 for Batavia. MEDINA GAME The girls played one of the best games of the season on the Medina Uourt March 24th. The Medina squad was an exceptional team and had a record of having been de- feated only once. and then by a professional team. The Le Roy girls lined up against the Medina girls and at the end of the first half the score was 10-3 in favor of Medina. At the end of the third quarter the score was still in their favor, 17-7. Then the real playing began- The two Le- Roy forwards made seven field baskets. while Medina made one foul. The score at the end was 18-18. Medina ob- jected so the teams played three minutes more, still keep- ing the score 18 all. After this interval the ofiicials decid- ed to let the tie stand. so the Le Roy girls are awaiting with interest the return game on the home court next season. Baseball LE ROY-BERGEN Our first game of baseball was played with Bergen 011 the home diamond. Bergen's team was composed mostly of veterans and, as this is the first team Le Roy has had in ten years, 1llllCll doubt was expressed concerning the outcome of the game. t'Red Maloy as pitcher was the mainstay of the team. Gooly Lapp was catcherg Bar- ney Callan 1st base: Sid U'Shea 2nd base: Luke Welch 3113 Frannie McKenna center field and Wishy Maloy left field. The game was a long drawn out aiair with a sprinkling of two or three errors every inning. The score was seven until the sixth when Bergen brought in two runs on an error. The final score was 8-6 in favor of Bergen. ATTN TA-LE ROY Le Roy High School lost the second 2211116 of the season to Attica by the close score of ZZ-3. Honors for the most errors were about equally divided- However, the game was snappy and very exciting. Le Roy was presented with a wonderful opportunity to win the game. but failed to take advantage of it. In the last inning. with two outs, RTS 3453- LeRoy had a man on third. but the last player up struck out, preventing the much needed run. LE ROY-PERRY The lhird baseball game of the season was played with Perry at Le Roy. The game started with Heineck pitch- ing and Welch catching. The first part of the game was played without either side scoring. in the fourth Le Roy scored a run. In the fifth. Perry scmimred four runs. Dur- the sixth Le Roy made two more and Perry, one, making the score at the beginning of the last iinning 6-4 in favor of Perry. Then Le Roy. by means of brilliant playing, scored three runs, winning the game and making the score 6-7. LE ROY-UAKFIPILD The Le Roy-Uaklield game was by far the most Sill'- cessful for the High School. Coach Sindlinger had put the team through strenuous practice, and they were in tip-top condition. The first man up for Oakfield hit a three-bag- ge1'. This was the last straw. From the11 on, Oaktield never saw the ball- When Le Roy went to bat. it was a continual succession of hits. Walt Maloy's playing was by far the feature of the game. Besides having twenty strike-outs to his credit. he had thefhonor and distinction of knocking a home-run. The final score was LeRoy 16- Oaktield 1. ALBION-LE ROY The Le Roy High School team journeyed to Albion, lirmly determined to win. Red Maloy pitched and Gooly Lapp caught.

He was looking for the party, all of whom, of diEerent minds as to the best routes and the best hot dog stands, had gone their own care-free ways. At half past one the cars, emerging from highways and byways, cowpaths and lanes, drew in at the Falls. It was interesting to stand on the side lines and see the expression on the faces and hear the remarks of those who had never before seen this wonder. Velma4 Isn't it darling?

Encouraged by their thrifty president, the majority sought tl1e stair and ran a race with the wealthy ones who had paid their nickel and taken the elevator, and they beat it too, though one and all conclud- ed, as they steamed to the top, that they were the easy ones, and not the stairs. The class all gathered at the edge of the falls in the hopes of inducing their chaperones to go over in barrels. They declined. however. Miss t'onnor insisting that she would need a hogshead and Miss Hecs demanding a keg. Then came the thriller of tl1e scenario.

Each individual was bound and determined that he was going through the Cave of the XVinds. And hour was spent in rounding up the herd for this grand finale of the sifrhts of the falls. Some were drawn from the Maid of the Mist: others were separated from pop bottles. The trusty tinancial manager boldly pushed to the front, but when he heard the fatal words of the suave official, S1.00 a heal, the wind changed.

The methods of proportion were used in placing the per- sons in the respective cars. We reached there about eight and spent a very pleas- ant evening in playing games and dancing. Evidently our good time could not be endured by some of the members of the other classes, for, they started and finally reached our place of enjoyment- In spite of the accompaniment of other persons for ua short time. we continued our fun. Re- freshments were served by some of the hungry but still active members of the class.

Commencement Number T H E R E D The Eastinan School of Music of the I'niversity of Rochester is completing its second year of active work. The interest that was aroused by the planning of tl1is music edu- cation project. and by the building for it of premises which competent judges pronounce unsurpassed anywhere in buildings devoted to music education, has continued as the full scope of the school's possibilities are llI11161'St00d. This music school a department of the University of R0l'llt'Sft'l'- Students may pursue a course leading to the degree. llachelor of Music. in which course part of the work is done in the College of Arts and Science: Students in the courses leading to the degree. Bachelor of Arts, may take part of their work ill the Eastman School of Music. But it also offers courses leading to tl1e Eastman School of Music certificate in which the student devotes all time to music studies. The courses of study i11clude full preparation for play- ing orchestral instruments and with its orchestra, under direction of Selim Palmgren, the distinguished Finnish com- poser. the I-Eastman School furnishes adequate training for professional work in a symphony orchestra. A course. which is valuable because of the peculiar advantages of the Eastman School. is that offered in organ accompany- ing of motion pictures. For the teaching of this course a special studio has been built with full equipment for screen- ing pictures and in it has been installed a Wurlitzer orches- tral organ. Kilbourn Hall. the auditorium of the Eastman School. is a small audience chamber of remarkable beauty of de- sign and perfect acoustics. In it are given all forms of chamber music and recitals, both for public patronage and for the students: the faculty and student recitals of the school make up a continuous seasonal program and aiord wide opportunity for hearing music of high standards in all its forms- - The Eastman Theatre is a great auditorium. seating ap- proximately 3,300 persons. It presents each day of the week, excepting Wednesdays during the musical season, a program of motion pictures for which accompaniment is furnished by an orchestra of sixty players and by the great organ played by masters of motion picture accom- panying. Plans for extension work in the Eastman School include the establishment of a school of opera in English including a school of ballet: the formation of a chorus made up of students from all departments of the university: and direct participation by the school's student forces in choral and operatic performances. The student body of the Eastmen School of Music now numbers more than 1300 and inclusive of summer session membership reaches a total close to 2000. During the summer session of the school, which opens June 25th, the regular faculty of the school remains on duty and all de- partments of work are made available to students of music desiring a five-week period of intensive study. -Dorothy Gillett Scott.

Everyone and everybody feels her light touch and hears her calling l1i111 to drop all work and follow her- She is care-free and light-hearted, and we sometimes think she has no consideration for us poor mortals who are imprisoned within these stately walls of our school. Yet, i11 spite of her thoughtlessness towards us. she delights us with her overpowering charms and winsome ways. She puts new vigor and enthusiasm into our sluggish minds. which have been dulled through a winter of discontent. She brings hope and good cheer for the future. Spring is rather a conceited little 111iss and is very anxious to be first in all of our activities. But what can you expect from such an undisciplined little person. who always has taken lirst place i11 the lives of everyone. XVhen she comes to visit us. she IIGVGY forgets to bring roller skates, baseballs, marbles and carts. This is very thought- ful of her, for. without these things. something would be lacking. She seems to have great influence over the weather man because he almost always predicts warm weather and sunshine during her visit with us. In fact, her magic spells seem to reach everyone for, eve11 the little flowers stick their gaily'decorated bonnets out of the earth and nod their heads in greeting to her. The lawns seem to be ashamed of their clothes and immediately begin putting on new, green dresses. This change may also be noticed in the girls, too. for they begin donning bright ginghams and tissue dresses. The locusts and birds are determined not be outdone by us humans. for they sing and buzz away, very musically, too. Like everyone else, Spring has her serious and thought- ful moods. She is a comfort to people who have some great sorrows. With her calm and delightful evenings, there is something soothing and quieting about her. The sunshine and beauty bring reflective memories and melodies. Thus, Spring is here with all her phases of life. Let us, therefore, have spring-like emotions for just as climate influences character, so the seasons stir and nourish the states of mind. fiilargaret Jones. S-A 24. Friends ' Friends. according to the dictio1:.ary. are persons at- tached to each other by affection, regard, or esteem, sup- porters or favorers of a cause ini. friends, in my esti- . . . . I mation, are more than words can describe. There are several different kinds. They may be per- sonal or they may be helpers in a business way. They may be true or untrue. Fnder personal come. two kinds, human friends a11d animal friends. But 1' gardless of the kind, friends are friends. i Personal friends may be our chums. 111 some cases, good. but we like they may not have'done us much to be with them just iior their company. A person without this kind of friend would be at ti les quite lonely. Even n tl1e hermit, who lives alone, usual v has animal or bird asociates- , The kind which grows out of esteem or regard is usually, but not always, the one who is in high rank or office. These friends, if really true. may prove helpful at times in securing a position. The next kind is one who is charitable. The friend- ship caused by giving to charity does -not, in most cases, last very long. To-day. because you give to charity, you are called a friend, but to-morrow it is forgotten. So this kind of friend is in name only and 'the name doesn't last very long. j ' of before. It is the Now. comes a class not spoken friends found in books. Many people obtain pleasure in reading good books. Books are really friends and great comfort can be derived' from them. Through them, We learn. They give us a change from everyday life. They are rightly named the 'unfailing friends. There is a difference between true and u11t1'ue friends. A true friend is one that will back you upon any thing you do or say that he knowsi to be right. An untrue friend is one who stands up for you today, but tomorrow condemns nemy. The person who you. This kind is worse than an would do that is a traitor. An u11 rue friend could do you more harm than an enemy by marring your good name be- cause you have coniided in him and he knows your faults. The value of all real friends is inexpressible in figures. 1 o good Those who Personal friends give company and I - help us in a business way, we could hardly get along With- purpose. Those who out. Friends help charity serve thei help us in times of need are ve1'y va uable.

Censorship Isn't public opinion. left to itself, the best censorship of plays. movies. and public morals? The public. without self advancement of its virtues and without fuss, discrim- inates constantly between the good and the bad and chooses the good. ls there ai conscientious attendant at the theatre or motion picture house who will not agree to this? Take for example Roscoe, Fatty, Arbuckle who was charged with manslaughter. He was given a trial and was acquitted in the eyes of the law. He was reinstated by Will Hayes, who is called King of 1IOVi9Kl0Il1, but his pic- tures were not and have not been accepted by the public. Again on the legitimate stage, certain songs a bit sug- gestive. are used by the performer in the hope of bolster- ing up his act. Watch what happens! The audience may stand iior the song, providing it. is not too bad, but the ap- plause is rather weak and is given by the minority. .lust watch that performer and you will see that in il short time that song will be omitted. Public censorship has virtually driven out the low grade offering and this act is again clean, because the public, as a whole. likes decent and not innnoral acts. The majority of songs, stories, plays. and screen dramas offered to this public. are clean. So. self appointed censorship brings a howl of protest from the pub- lic. as well it should. but the unconscious censorship of silence goes on.
