Hazel Clark ' 28 CLASS FLO FR Sweet Peas CLASS MOTTO • ' Aim high, and keep that aim. CLASS COLORS Old Rose and Silver LAST WILL AND TESTAi iEIIT OF THE CLASS OF ' 28 his being the last month of our lives at L. U. H. S., we deem it proper to bequeath to posterity those ' Characteristics or traits which will help them, and v hich we do not care to carry with us, when we go. I, Bernice Arata, will to Kathryn Volponi, my only possession--the vanit r-case v hich has served me so faithfully for four years. I sincerely hope that she will appreciate and get as much enjoyment out of looking at herself as I did. My sister will otherwise carry on the family traditions v hen I have departed. I, Rendall Burroughs, leave: To Joe Armstrong, my constant quietude, knowing that he v ill use it often and well. To Wilda Lavere, ray small feet, for which she so often en- viously wished. To Donner Wilder, my graceful slenderness, as it will be quite useful when playing tiddlywinks. My facial treatment apparatus I leave to lola Dainty, hoping to improve her creamy complexion. To Henry Martin, my scholastic ability, and the trait of conscienceness which accompanies it. I most sincerely hope he will faithfully practice these in English and Spanish as I have done in the past. I, Hazel Clark, leave my perpetual kindness to animals, my kindly good humor, and m.y eternal goodness to all the members of the Freshman Class, particularly, Elmer Armstrong, Ellsvi ' orth Wood, Earl Hudson, and Hazel Cecchini. I, Reed Cowan, solemnly leave to Melbor Crandall my ability to get along with the girls, and I hope that said ability v ill help him to be successful for at least one year. I leave my broad- jumping traits to Robert Allenbaugh, as his length and my ability should make a good combination, I, most auspicious Anna French, will, on this day, my slim figure to Eleanor Iverson, hoping that she v ill now cut down expenses in the direction of Marmola I I, Thelma Geddes, v ill my recitations in English to r-lossie will not spoil it by giggling. I, Warren, brother of ability to Leonard Pedro, better hitting and field- LMN ability to gi vo draaatic Gilhart. in ho -os that she Thelma, will my hitting , and hope that he has a ing average than I have had. I trust that my hrother, Weston, will carry on the tradi- tions which have been established by me, v hile in the worthy institution of Liberty, I, Paul Halstead, do hereby will ray track ability (?) to Dale Rimmer, hoping that he will run the hurdles as fast as I. My permanent, I will to Glenn Geddes, as I think a permanent much more lasting than a mere v ater-wave. I, Margaret Hevey, solemnly bequeath to Edgar Armstrong, my English IV note-book containing all of Miss Maston ' s poetry, know- ing full well that he will keep it by him until he goes West. My scholarship, I pass on to Garth Hose, a worthy man who only needs a chance. I, Freddie Heidorn, do hereby will and leave my red flannel track pants to Butch Columbo, so that he may draw the attention of the girls, and incidentally, smash the 440 record. 1, Helena Keeney, will to Byron Acrey, all of the gum v hich he may find under numerous desks throughout school. My temper I will to Helen Webber, and my laughing to Edward Renas. I, Lena Noia, will my smiling face, sprightly attitude, and alluring v;alk to Laura Mantelli. My much be- jeweled typing pins, will depart with me, tho ' I had considered leaving them to Harry Cordua, I, Josephine Pimentel, v ill my typing ability for speed, along with the cup which I won at the Typing Contest at Martinez, to Nelson Thomas, hoping that he will not ill-use, nor abuse it. ' Tis a priceless possession, Nelson I I, the honorable Thelma Richardson, will my ability of talk- ing a lot and saying nothing to Theo ' Ella Thompson, and I hope that she will use it carefully, since I hate to part with it. My so-called .- umpiness I leave to Cynthia so that her dignit y may change to the fairy-like vjalk of youth. I, Henry Shellenberger , will my proverbial admission slip to bookkeeping class to Oily Upham, as he needs one as much as I, I also will one of my old Fords, extras not included, to the Thomas Twins--Lloyd and Lionel. They may fight over it, and the winner divide the spoils. I could not tell to which one to leave this parting memory, so they must decide for themselves. I, Charlie Snow, v ill all the baseball ability that I have, to Rena Ohmstede, and hope that with it, she ' ll make the team nest year. My blond and curling locks I will to Marlisse, as she claims that they ' re preferred. ; I, Eleanor Townsley, will , my supreme brilliancy in Chem, to Agnes Dutro, with the hope ' y that she will get more out of it than I did. My dra- ' ' - ' .- ' - matic ability goes to the highest bidder, and may he Q 1 live long and prosper. ' v LMN y ' I, Georgene Upham, hereby solemnly will my everlasting grin to Hazel ollam, hoping that she will not try to stretch it any more than I have. My fast gait I will to Geraldine Deeney, so that she may someday beat Miss Anderson ' s speed. I, Mary Watt, will to Lucille Trerabley, ray ability to whistle and chirp through disaster. I also will to Grace Lewis my sense of humor and hope that she v ill cultivate the habit of choking giggles. Sealed, signed and delivered this first day of June, nine- teen hundred tv enty-eight . In witness whereof we, the Class of  28, hereby set our seal. June 8, 1952 Dear Jean: Gee I It ' s surely been a long time since I ' ve written to you. It seems as far back as when we were lil ' ole ?rosh, Sayl Then v ere the days. ' ' ' Member the time the ' - took us down Main Street (?) of Brentwood in old clothes? I surely get a kick out of it whenever I think of it, Eleanor Townsley was president then, v asn ' t she? Ohi Yes, and Eleanor Viera was vice president, and she was, also, the same for our Sophomore Class, too. T e used to have a lot of fun in the meetings v e had. IThy, isn ' t that odd? I was just looking at the heading and — and, jurt think — it is just five years ago today that we graduated. Boy, v eren ' t we thrilled that night. I never have gone through a more thrilling experience. I was shaking from the time the curtain opened until it closed. riiat have you been doing wi1 h yourself lately, any -ay? Been to any dances? Have you • lear -icl any n?- .ite- s? Remember when we tried to do tiio CL .rlesto:..? Y ' D.en ' .. ' p.g it anyway? • asn ' t it at our v Juji-ior -- no, I ■jjItv.-— y s that ' s it. It was at our ■■ ' ' ' ' ' Soph Hop, Gooh. ' Those were the good old times. ' , ' j Remember our Junior Prom and Senior Ball? . Didhlt W I wo have a lot of f m urn ' -A ■ ' lY. ja ' -j though? Gee, it was eit the Prom that you and I ditched oir? hoy friends, wasn t it? -.. ' e had a lot of fun anyv ay. V. ' e had some fun at the Ball, too. Some dance, and the Varsity Drag — I -11 never get over that. Have you heard anything about Mr. Callaghan lately? I wonder if he is still at Liberty. I suppose he has another class hy nov . If he has, I ho-oe he still reijemoers us. I went to the city the other day; invested in some nev clothes, as usual, and treated myself to a show, and do you know what the nam.e of that shov; was? Of course not, but, anyiTay, it vjas Fixing it for Father . ' Does that stir your memory any? The name sounded rather familiar to me v hen I first went into the theater, but then, so do a lot of ether things. I thought that I had -orobably heard it at one of those Good Books meet- ings v hich I ' m attending. I never ¥ as so suri rised in all my life when I did realize what it was. Gee J I laughed and laughed. It surely j s different than -nutting the thing on your- self. I don ' t-care vrhat anybody else says, but I think we v ere wise in picking that one for our Senior Play, don ' t you? Talk- ing about plays, do you remember the one we -nut on in our Sophomore year? It Y asn ' t a play, exactly, but a pantomime. I think the name of it was And the Lamp v ' ent Out. That was kinda ' cute. Margaret Kevey was our resident then, wasn ' t she? My little brother just got back from their big track meet of the year. He goes to High School, now, you know. He ' s the only one in the family that ever turned out to be good in sports. He said that he took first place in the pole vault. You ' d never believe it though, v ould you? Talking about pole vaulting, remember Freddie Eeidorn and that 4- point he got for us? That was what made us win the track meet that year, wasn ' t it? I wonder if they have ever won it again. I often wonder hov Kendall Burroughs is. He went out for track quite a bit. He was our class president for our Junior year. Boys make kinda ' hard presidents, because, don ' t you rem.ember hov: he used to bang away at the old desk in our meet- ings? Still, Georgene Upham surely didn ' t have very much symrtathy for the inkwells v.lien she was Senior President. Do you remember the party the Juniors gave us our last year? V e had a lot of fun, didn ' t we? I went to one the other day but it wasn ' t half so good, ' .liy, our Junior-Senior Break- fast, that we gave, beat it a mile, and it ' .7as only a breakfast. Oh, v ell, they v ere good anyho 7--the eats, I mean. Gosh. ' It seems as if I ' m v riting a book. Maybe I had better stop before I really do wr ite one.

T Mary vatt ' 28 •• PROPIiECY for the GLASS of 1928 In a very conspicuous- place in the Personal Coli;iinn of the leading newspapers of the world, readers, during the month of May, 1948, might have seen the following insertion: MEMBERS OF THE CLASS OP ' 28, LIBERTY UNION HIGH SCHOOL, call at once at home of B. J. Callaghan. Big reunion planned; come early and make the rush; departure scheduled for June 8. (signed) B. J. Callaghan. It certainly attracted attention, and Mr. Callaghan ' s ' home ' became the rendezvous for some 19 not-so-young people who began arriving on June 7, The first member, who arrived at his call, was Rendall Burroughs. Rendall had changed remarkably . He wore spectacles of the horn-rimmed variety, a derby hat, rather a too-large flowing necktie, and loose, baggy trousers, Rendall- had, throu_gh some trick of Fate, developed very muchly bowed legs, too. He brought with him his wife, formerly Thelma Richardson. Thelma had not changed very m uch, except that she seemed very quiet and sub- dued, in comparison with the old Thelma of our school days. Rendall v as the United States Ambassador to Rome, and his wife said that she was just a housewife We, Major Callaghan and- I, after ushering in the Ambassa- dor, were startled by a sudden, loud banging upon the door. Reed Cowan, the stiff-looking English butler who- stood at the side, sprang towards the door, and, as he opened it, the poor fellow who had been panting outside, fell in. V ith the assistance of the Major, the Ambassador to Home, and the butler, he was plac- ed in a chair, and revived. He was a grimy, be-whiskered, rag- gedy hobo. . His hat slouched dov n upon one eyebrow, A pair of overalls, a blue chambray shirt which was held together by means of nails, etc., a pair of shoes which had once been better, and a roll of would-be blankets constituted his wearing apparel and his baggp.ge. Mio on earth was ' he? I was sure that I had never seen anyone to compare with him, but still there was something famil- iar about his grin and there was a familiar note in his voice when he said Hello folks I At last the light of recognition seem- ed to come to us. It was Fred Heidorn ! By way of explanation, he began a long story of his adven- tures, and, incidentally, his misfortunes. ' His Ford had gone f looey in Minnesota, to use his own words, and he had to v alk to New York. Then a cop had chased him, and- - There he is! he shouted, - Yes there came a cop riding up to the door on an old black horse. Well, for cryin ' out loud, ejaculated the butler. What ' s the matter with you, Freddie? That ' s Hnnk Shellenberger. He ' s on the Royal North West Mounted Police. Didn ' t he know you? JG I didn ' t have time to find out, confessed Cur Hero, I ' thought he was chasing me so I just kept ahead of hlnu Anyway, I won I he ended trulmphantly, Oh, ' ' ' cx en ' s sakes, gasped the member of the R, N,. W, P., as he entered, V.hy didn ' t you wait, Freddie? I was going to gi e you a ride. I rode Blackie down to the hig party, didn ' t I Old Boy? And right behind him stood Blackie, steed of his first high school dayg . After the guests were shown to their respective rooms, I peered through the gj.thering gloom, and with difficulty distin- guished th5 next member. Reed jnjnped to open the door, and Anna French flounced in. She very formally announced that she was not Anna any longer, Dut preferred to be known as Judge French, P. S. R. W. As she-i;as so exacting about it, I judged that it would be best to comply, and henceforth did as she directed. She brought with her Eleanor ' ' Towns ley, past Vice-President of the Society for ' Prevention of Cruelty to ' Male Members o:-. ' the Family. Miss French; pardon. Judge French - ' . S. R. W. anno ' onced that part of • her jury would appear shortly. She was truly a ' ' cause for blues, and the fact that she was Supreme Court Justice of the United States made her all the more imposing. Eleanor was almost, but not quite, as bad. She was un-n rried and had no prospects. l hile I v as ' rondering about the two who ' had just arrived someone else came. He wore a heavy overcoat, much too large, and m.iss-proportioned shoe:;. A silk hat and a long cane by which he dragged, yes, literally dragged , a slim_ jf i.rl, completed his out-- fit. He took off his coat, the immense shoes, the silk hat, and laid dovm the can i, but still I could not recognize himi. He took off his beard, an lo I and behold I It waft Warren Geddes. He had on the costume of a gymnast--tights and soft-soled ' ' sneaker ' ' shoes. His sister, for she was the slim girl I ' horr. he had been dragging by the cane, was si ' nilarly attired. They composed the popular Geddes Duo Team of vaudeville acrobats. I- rememiber Warren ' s superb catching fin. the Liberty Baseball- Nine, and now, he told m.e, he caught Thelma by her long raven hair, ifi their acts. How people change I They, too, departed for th ir rooms, and I sat blinking and nodding, before the fireplace.. I was arous.ed abruptly from my near-s? umbers. The butler exclaimed: Lo( kI Look I Here comes an a] my T ' Of what? I inquired , sleepily, Th unemployed? Our conversation went no further. HoJ.ena Keeney, recogniza- ble at any time, pushed open the door, and said, Does r. Callaghan live here? Will you all please be seated ? I a jked, and they sat. I ' m a Foreman o ' this here jury, anAcunced Helena, what d ' ya want with us? Oh, thought I, this JG is the part of the jury -■ of which Judge French spoke I Well, I began lamely, I ' ll show you to your rooms, and tomorrow the Ma.i ' or will have a little surprise. First can you tell me of your occupations? Is that all ya want? queried Helena. Sure, I ' ll tell ya what I do. I run a house for Homeless Krazy Kats, when not on jury duty, but of course I ' m generally on jur ' - duty, so the Kats are rather neglected. And you? I asked of Bernice Arata. Oh dear, she sighed, I live in single blessedness since my poor husband died of despair a few years ago. I keep Judge French P. 3. R. iV. company in the court 5 she never did marry, and we have much in common. ' ' And you. Hazel, what have the years brought you? ' ' iVell, I ' m not exactly single . Charlie-- Charlie Snow? I broke. in Yes, Charlie Snow, she said; Anyv ay, as I started to say, before I was so rudely interrupted, Charlie and I have had some matrimonial difficulties, and we ' re now estranged. ' You know, we were just children, you mxight say, when v e married, and it didn ' t last long. He was 0. H. , but just not the type, I imagine. I believe that he will be here for the remiion, I remarked, Oh, dear Charles l she said romantically, iVe haven ' t met for two weeks, and you know, we ml ght make up J l There was a ray of hope in her voice. How changeable are the moods of woman I You don ' t have to ask me what I do, said Lena Noia, ungra- ciously. But Lena, I would like to know! ' ' Since you insist, I ' ll tell, ' ' she said coquettishly. I am the manager of all the Fifteen Cent Stores- throughout the United States. I do the hiring and the firing, and, v ith it all, I am able to do a little housework, on the side. The housework which I do is done- in a house on v;heels as my work carries UQ all over the U. S,, and a house on ; heels is a very economic expenditure. Oh I Yes I I ' m the representative of Uc.rj ■■ •■ ' .tt and Josephine Pimentel, too. You know, of course that they are the v orld ' s newest marathon runners, and I sort of go ahead and clear the road for them. By the way, do thoy know of the reunion? Ever r member of the Class of ' 20 is invited, I reminded her. JG Well, they ' re doing a .cross-country spurt from San Francisco to Ngv ' York, and I imagine that they ' ll try to get here for it. As it x as late, the jury decided to retire. The Major, the butler, and all of the guests iad also retired, but I still sat waiting for someone else to arrive. My hopes were not in vain A taxi stopped out in front smd a short, fat, gray-haired man ran up the steps of the house. Help I Help I he cried, I ' ve got more than I can handle J Can ' t you do something? he shouted, as he sav me blink rather uncertainly at him. Oh, yes, to be sure! How absent-minded of me, But still I stared, and, and he again shouted. Can ' t you see who I am? I ' m Paul Halstead, most important member of the Yanl:s Baseball team. Anything else? Now hurry up and give a man a little assistance I Such imperativeness 1 But I moved, anyhow, and gave what little assistance I could. The poor man certainly had too much for his own good. Here- he was with a fat lady, whose avoirdupois was actually astounding, and he was trying to get her into the door of a perfectly normal house I Finally, we decided to go a- round to one of the large french v;indows, and, with the help of a carpenter, we took out the window, and let the poor woman into the house. After the lady was once in the house, we had much difficulty in finding a place for her to sleep. There were plenty of rooms, but the doors I Or shall we say the woman? At any rate, they could not fit each other. So Georgene, fat lady that she was, had to sleep in the kitchen- — for no other reason than the fact that she could not get into the bedroom. After the excitement of finding sleeping quarters for Georgene, I again fell to dozing before I opened the door to find Charlie Snow. Charlie looked about the same to me. lie had grown no fatter, nor taller. His hair was slightly gray, but otherwise ho looked the part v hich he played in the ivorld of business. For he was, he gave me to ujiderstand, the President of the Standing Room Only Railroad. As he seemed very nervous about something, I asked him if I could do anything for him, Yes I he said, Tell me, is Hazel here? .He consented to retire, and agreed to see Hazel on the morrov , after I told him that she was in the house. There was still Margaret Hevey, Josephine Pimentel, and Mary Watt to arrive. I was certain that I could not keep awake any longer, so I, too, retired, June 8, 1948 was a very lovely day for a reunion, and all of Mr, Callaghan ' s guests rose ,„.-- , early, to find just- what the Major had in store. After breakfast, the party set out for the field k v hich was named after our worthy Ma jor-- Callaghan Meadows, Now, said Mr. Callaghan, when the whole group had assembled, I will call the roll. He called the roll, and all but three members had arrived. ' The others were a ' motley assemblage. Part of a bedraggled jury, a butler, a tramp, a baseball player, a fat lady in Al G. Barnes ' employ and some normal citizens constituted our Members of the Class of ' 28. To make a short story long, we ' re all going on a trip to Mars, in the latest Mar-plane, which I have just designed. This is its initial flight, and I have great confidence in my inven- tion. We will leave at 9:30 A. M., regardless of what may hap- pen I sincerely hope that ail of my former students will be able to be here. It is nov 9:20, he finished pompously. Paul Halstead, the baseball player, true to his sportsmanship, wished that he had a paper to read of the marathon runners. As if in answer to his call, a woman passed by the plane and stopped to stare. She had a paper under her arm, and at the request of Mr. Halst ead, gave it to him for a mom-ent. They ' re due here soon, blurted Mr, Halstead, as he read the paper as- fast as he could before he- had to return it to its owner. It says, J. Pimentel, and M, Watt, recognized as the world ' s greatest women marathon runners, are due at Callaghan Meadows, New York at 9:30, today. They are planning to join the group of members of the Class of ' 28, who will be the guests of Major B. J. Callaghan when he gives his newest invention, the Mar-plane, Ghost of St. Louis, its initial flight I What ' s that? inquired the woman from whom he had borrowed the paper, ifeo ' s running in this race? I hadn ' t heard about it. Oh, a couple of girls with v hom I used to go to school, said Paul, disgusted at being disturbed in his reading. Their names are Josephine Pimentel, and Mary Watt, since you want to know. Mary Vifatt and Josephine Pimentel? I ' l hy, I used to go to school with them, too. Say, who might you be? VJho might I be? I? Who might I be? Why,- I ' m Paul Halstead • of the Yanks, Didn ' t you ever hear of me? Gee, I thought every- body knew me I Paul Halstead I Of all things I I didn ' t even recognize you. Since you think you ' re so good, I ' ll tell you to whom your ' talking. I ' m Margaret Hevey, and I ' m engaged to be married tomorrow, but if you ' re all ' going on this big flight, I think I ' ll put if off and trot along, too. What do you say? Sure, help yourself, It won ' t make any differ- JG ence to me. Absolutely I came a chorus of voices, and they came to- ward the plane from all over the field. The radio in the great plane was going, and a fev reports of the marathon runners had come in. At 9:29 the report said: They are due at Callaghan Meadov s in one minute. Miss Vtatt seems to be the favored one, as shehaa the longer legs. Miss Pimentel is holding her own however, and the outcome of the great race is doubtful, At this tense moment, the fat lady from the Cir-cus spied a large cloud of dust at the far side of the field, and, ins it grew rapidly larger she thought ' it to be a whirlwind. The motors of the plane were started, ' and everything was In readiness for departure. The cloud cleared, and there stood the Marathon runners I ! They had tied in their marvelous race I Joyously they scrambled aboard as the plane started down the broad field. We were off for Mars I The whole class was there, and I, Mr, Callaghan ' s private secretary was the pilot of the big plane, I thank you, Mary Watt ' 23 JG I THOUGHT so: ; 5c5j -R e lay curled up on the grass, looking exactly f — C) , CQ like a contented little puppy in the ¥ arm after- noon sunshine. In reality he Yias a boy of nine ' ' P j2- years, v ith a shock of flaxen hair and great blue eyes, which held in them an expression of most amazing candor. He lived with his pretty aunt in the little rose covered cottage at the end of the street. He had been left an orphan at the age of four, and his father s young sister, Jean, had lovingly taken in her little nephew and had filled the place of a mother beautifully. In fact, the boy loved her as dearly as his ovm, for he could remember very little of any other. His name v;as Ralph Percival Drake, but his aunt called him Ralphie, and he rejoiced privately every time she did it, for he detested the name of Percy-- much less Percivali As he lay on the lavra, his thoughts were running some- thing in this wise: V hat fun I had on Rosy this morning. ' I wonder why they ever named her Rosy; she isn ' t the least bit pink J Her name doesn ' t matter much anyhow, ' cause she ' ll always be the same pony, even if I took it into my head to call her Ezekiel or Isahia. Those old men that we were reading about last Sunday, in Sunday-School, certainly did have crazy names all right ' V liy, I think they ' re even worse than Percival--anyT ay almost. ' But I guess they ' re not any funnier than Dr. V ithacoff ' s name. It ' s pronounced ' Witacough, ' ' but I don ' t see v hy it ' s not ' ' Withacough, for it looks that way to me. V hoever heard of a doctor v ith a cough i I should think he ' d have one though, living up there GHU on the hill in that great big cold house I I ' ve heard people say that it ' s very grand and beautiful, but I ' d rather live in ou:. ' house any day. ' I wonder why Aunt Jean is always so tall and-proud-looking when she meets him? I haven ' t seen him. very many times, but he looks just about old enough to be my young uncle, just like Aunt Jean ' s my young aunt. His eyes alv ays make me feel sort of sorry, too — I don ' t knov; V7hy. Just as Ralphie was rising to his knees to look over the hedge at the big house on the other side of the street, he heard the door slam, and he turned to see his Aunt Jean standing on the riorch. She spoke in a clear, sweet voice, Oh, Ralphie, aren ' t the roses beautiful? They look like little ivory cups, all delicately carved. ' I v ish that I could miake something near- ly as beautiful as these. ' - ' Her voice was wistful, but Ralphie looked up into her face v ith a twinkle in his eye a-nd said mischieviously, Auntie, you 7ere going to call me for dinner, weren ' t you? !7ell, hov; about those big nut cookies; aren ' t they just a- bout as good as roses? He edged closer, You know, Auntie, I think I like ' em better ' n roses — but 6 ' course I ' m a ojl At this confidential outburst, his aunt laughed long and gaily. Then they vjent together i nto their pretty dining room, that v as lighted by tall, bright candles, which kept out the dusk as it crept softly over the village. Later that evening when the moon had risen, Ral-phie and his aunt walked dov:n the street towards a murmuring brook, which ran through the center of the tov n. ' .Teeping willov s ; bent over the railings of the bridge. They sat in the shad-i GHU dow, watching the brook in the moonlight. Sitting there, they heard footsteps approaching, which suddenly turned dovm the path towards their resting place. They could not see the intruder, for he was hidden by the trees, but they heard him stop on the bridge and murmur softly to himself. After about five minutes, the footsteps were resumed, but as the stranger passed them, he chanced to brush against Ralphie ' s knee and Ijlooked dov n, startled. Pardon me, he said in a troubled voice, I had no idea anyone else was here. ' At this, Jean rose and came out from the shadows. Certainly, sir, she said, looking up at him curiously, for she thought that she recognized his voice. As she glanced up, she stiffened visibly, and she continued coldly, Oh, is it you Dr. V ithacoff? Slowly she took Ralphie by the hand and turned to cross the bridge. The tall man in the shadows did not stir, but if Ralphie could have seen his eyes then, he would indeed have felt sort of sorry, for their expression was one of intense pain. Suddenly, he turned and followed the young woman and GHU the boy. ViThen he had reached them, he laid a restraining hand upon her arm, and she faced him. He smiled boyishly and broke out, Ohi I say, Miss Drake, let ' s be friends. ' You know — er — Jean, I won ' t be able to stand this much longer. It isn ' t right for you to keep an old grudge like that against me J If I could have seen your brother fLgain before he died, God knov s we v;ould have become reconciled. V e v ere the truest of friends, and I wouldn ' t have let a nasty little quarrel, like the one that afternoon interfi3re ilth our friendship for anything on earth! wlien I j first heard of the things he told you about me, I was furious, but I realize now that he said them in a fit of violent tem- per, and that he didn ' t mean them. Ke said those things merely to rid himself of the venom of his anger. Oh, JeanJ Cafi ' t you see it in that light? Can ' t we forget all the old [ wounds and be the close friends that we were before? His last plea was made with touching v istfulness, and jfnow he breathed her name pleadingly, and with a note of ten- derness, JeanT ' During his swift v ords the girl had remained motionless, and now lifting her pale face in the moonlight, she said in a shaken voice, No, Dick, no. ' I cannot i She drew herself up proudly and continued in a haughty tone, Besides, Dr. With- acoff I can ' t understand your taking advantage of this situ- ation and m.aking such a perfectly ridiculous speech. ' That night when RalDhie kissed his aujit before going to bed, he discovered tears on her cheeks, and he said, wonder- ingly, Why Auntie, v hat ' s the matter? • ' ITothing at all, darling. How go to bed and Auntie Jean will be all right in the morning! GHU He quietly did as he v as told, but lie thou£,ht that ,so; e-| thing must, be v rong-, for his aunt never cried. The next morning, he v;as still rjonderlng over xhe strange scene he had witnessed the night before, as he rode through the fields on Rosy ' s back. He also thought of his aunt ' s tears and Dr. Vi ithacof f ' s sad eyes and boyish smile. He was, as you have ' probably noticed, a remarkable thinker for a boy of nine years. He v7ould make a fine uncle, he thought, and v e could play together lots. I know Aunt Jean would like him if she ' d let herself. I think she can hardly help liking him now, rw-en ' though she does try awful hard not to. Ralphie was letting Rosy do- just about as she ' ' liked, v hile he was engaged in this revery. The • ' , little Shetland wandered aimlessly from ■■ ' ■: ' — -■ ,.. _ one side of V( to the other, with the reins hanging loosely. She took a nib- ble of grass here and there and was, on the whole, very con- tented, indeed. It was in this way that a big .,ellow automobile, dashing |; around the corner, came upon them completely unprepared. !

She laid the unconscious little form gently down on the bed and hathed the bruised face tenderly.

Oh, Dick, my Ralphie ' s hurt I Come quickly. ' She heard the receiver click, at the other end of the line, and v hen she had reached Ral ' Ohie ' s bedside again, the doctor was entering the room-. He turned to the Deople and said, Please go, all of you, we can ' t have you here nowJ They, iiimediately, dispersed at the command of their be- loved doctor, and he bent to give the child a Quick examin- ation. Jean stood there tense, waiting. He muttered, ' ' Left rib; don ' t know hovi serious--v e ' 11 see. He turned to Jean, ' Will you do exactly as I tell you? It may save the boy ' s life. If he is still alive at the end of an hour, he ' ll iiull through. What I must do may seem cruel to you, but I must do it if he is to live, VJill you trust me? ' ' ' • I She loolcoci at Ixiiti steadiljr, I do and I v ill help. Together they iTorked throu ' h that long hour and if Jean felt anj fears she hid them, because she realized the ne- cessity of a stead hand and a strong will. After about eighty minutes, Balphie was still breathing, though he lay ' hite and still, a pitiful little figure swathed in bandages. The doctor bent over him for a moment and then looked up, a glorious radiance lighting up his 3 0 ung face. He is saved, ' ' he whispered. Oh, Jean J Dick. ' Two v eeks later, Ralphie lay propped up in bed talking to his auntie and the doctor, You know, said Ralphie slowly, if it hadn ' t been that I v;as thinking so hard about you, Aunt Jean, and you Dr. y ithacoff, 1 don ' t think anything v:ould have happened. How is that, darling, asked Jean, lightly. I was just thinking. Auntie, that, if you liked him. well enough. Dr. , ' ithacoff v;ould m ake a fine uncle for me-- ' n then I could call him.

The baseball team got away to a good start by winning four out of five practice games, but couldn ' t get going in the league games. We defeated Tracy High twice in a two game series, and also defeated 3t, Agnes High of Stockton, twice in a three game series. In the first league game against Antioch, the Liberty Nine came through with an 11 to 10 victory, after coming from behind on two occasions. It was a loosely played game, but interesting and had the fans on their toes at all times. Batteries: Antioch, Vanderbunt and Vanderbunt; Brentwood, Hannum and Columbo. Liberty lost the second game of the season to the Concord Nine in a close battle which ended 7 to 6. We were enjoying a 6 run lead at the beginning of the eighth inning, but three hits and three errors, put Concord in the running with four runs. Jimmy Hannum our pitcher was then replaced by Melbor Crandoll. This failed to stop the oncord attack, and they came back strong in the ninth Inning, pushing over three runs, enough to v in by one run. The next game was with Martinez High and this time the Liberty team took a bad beating by the score of 10 to 5. Due to bunched hits and erratic fielding by Liberty, Martinez v as able to put over ten runs. Little Eddie Minta, Liberty ' s third sacker, v as the leading hitter of th6 day with 3 hits out of four trips to the plate. Eddie is surely playing a good game this year, and should go even better next year. We lost another close game to Pittsburg in the next to the last game of the season. Melbor Crandell started on the mound for Liberty but gave way to Jimmy Hannum in the fourth, both pitchers were hit hard. Pittsburg also used two pitchers, but they received better support than did our twirlers. Libert r tied the score in the first half of the ninth on a long homer by Warren Geddes but Pittsburg scored tho winning run in its half of the ninth oin a single, sacrifice and a long double against the left field fenc e. Charles Snow collected 4 hits, one being a homer with two men on bases. Belleci of Pittsburg connected for two homers. The Liberty Baseball team ended the 1928 season by trounc- ing the Crockett nine by a 20 to 1 score. Melbor Crandell pitch- ed nine innings, allowing only 3 hits, and was at no time in an danger. Red Armstrong carried off the batting honors by col- lecting 5 hits out of 6 . - . times at bat.
