An apple red and glowing, beckoning him like a starg Jonnie was very hungry for he had journeyed far. It tempted him, and jonnie, weak as most we mortals are, Put his leg across the fence, and jumping o'er the bar Climbed the tree quickly as most small boys can, And soon the prize was in his handg then Jonnie saw a man. Come down, you little rascal, I'll have the law on you! The irate farmer shouted as he clutched poor -Ionnie's shoe. jonnie trembled on his perch and thrills he did not lack. Please sir, said the culprit, I was only putting it back. -Evelyn E. Glassner. Table of Contents Forvm Staff ..,.. Class of 1929 ...,,.. Honor Students . . . Officers A....., The Senior Play ....

But time can never alter Devotions tried and true And niem'ry will make sweeter The joys that here we knew. So, classmates stand together, As heartily we raise One loyal song at parting, In Alma Mater's praise. May fortune smile upon her May men her name enthrone And we forever cherish Her honor as our own. Lift up your voices clear and strong! Hope gilds the future's way.

I 0 1011 PLAY SIGN THE FORVM SENIOR PLAY A great success is the only term adaptable for the senior play The Family Upstairs presented Friday evening, April 19. The Family Upstairsu was one of three plays which perfectly typifies family life. An over ambitious mother, whose one and only desire is to get her twenty-one year old daughter married, and a patient over-worked father comprise the heads of the family. Mrs. Hiller as mother was delightfully portrayed by Lucy Mannino while Frederick VVilliams played tl1e role of pop to perfection. Louise Hiller, the fair daughter, over whose fate there was such a controversy, worked in an office and through business acquaintances was a little ahead of her family. Louise was papa's pet, however VVillie was 161113111213 darling . Willie was the seventeen year old shiek of the family who was very fond of girls and equally shy of work. He and twelve year old Annabelle were constantly quarelling especially at the table. Next to marrying Louise off Mothers greatest ambition was to teach Annabelle how to play the piano. i Eugene Kilroy and Marian Campbell made a surprisingly true to life brother and sister and kept their audience in gales of laughter at their antics. Dorothy Nicholls enacted the role of Louise and gracefully typified the modern stenog- rapher. Every play must have a hero so The Family Upstairs had one in the person of Charles Grant otherwise Elliot Dix the cause of all the confusion and the answer to Mother's prayers. The plot thickens when Louise announces at dinner that she expects a young man to call that evening. The family is over- come with surprise- Mother is overjoyed. That night, after Mrs, Hiller tries to impress Louise's young man the couple became secretly engaged. The following Sunday Charles calls to take Louise on a picnic. This time Mother puts on so many airs and uses such flowery speech that the young man is lead to believe that he would be doing Louise a great injustice to take her from such luxury. He is thus misguided when Mary Plant, pleasingly characterizing the gossipy old maid dressmaker, makes such a fuss over the couple. The engagement is broken and family affairs are in bad state. Pop Heller comes to the front and brings the two together but not before the sophisticated, yet charming Mrs. Grant, in person of Clara Foote comes to the Heller flat with her little boy Herbert , played by Kenneth Bogardus, in defense of her older son. The Class of 1929 also extends to Harold Suthers, electriciang Braden Fitz- Gerald, advertising managerg Wayne Folger, business managerg Neru Alix, Robert Buchanan, Emerson Holley, Angela Daley, joseph Shure, James Mulvey, Douglas McArthur and George Stinson sincere thanks in heartiest appreciation of their work. P Page Thirfy-nine THE FORVM CANDID COLYUMIST THE FUTURE OF THE CLASS OF '29 Class day will dawn bright and warm. That ceremony, though long looked forward to will be a sorrowful one. The prophecy will be read and no doubt taken amusingly at the time. The class will file out and forget whether they are to be blacksmiths, plumbers, school teachers or what have you? September will find the 29ers making ready for new conquests. Fully half of them will have pulled up their stakes and set out for broader and better fields in college. Those that remain behind will not be slow to take over the reins of government and business. The grit and spirit that have never said die, that held in a hard plunging football line or a furious basketball contest will meet a worthy op- ponent, fate. But, fate can be shaped and they will do it. Now let us imagine that old Dad Time has brushed aside ten years and the class of 29 is holding its first reunion. The class prophecy has been carefully preserved by someone and is being read to determine its validity. Its truth is almost unbelievable. The doctors are plentiful and regular cut ups . The num- ber of dentists is probably clue to all the tooth pulling our patient teachers were required to do to get us through. City planners, victims of city planning essays, control about half the city council and are still trying to move the high school. It is also found that our lawyers are trying to keep the city out of debt, while the politicians are struggling with the taxes. Won't it be a great town in ten years time? If you don't believe it half a score of years from now tell me what you think is wrong. -Gene Knmy THE DERBY CLUB Have you ever been to a circus? If you have, you certainly must have seen the clown and his donkey, both resplendent in gaudy brown derbies.

Why must we excogitate every night to resuscitate the rhetorics of Cicero from the fusty and mildewed paliographs when someone who has mused for a myriad of years could greatly transcend our interpretations?

Occasionally the hunting would be very good near one spot, and to this spot, hunters and trappers from all over the continent would swarm. Naturally, the homes of these fur seeking men would be grouped into a sort of nest, and this nest would grow to be a small town and trading post. Such was the case in the beginning of Beaver's Point, a small trading post, two hundred miles west of Hudson Bay. Beaver's Point had found it's way to exis- tence through hunters who came there years ago, and now only a few remained who remembered its beginning. It was situated in a narrow valley, well protected from raw winds by sharp hills which rose proudly to the clouds keeping out all but the noon sun. The regular short spring had brightened the town, as usual, but a stranger upon approaching would pronounce it utterly deserted except for the occasional appearances of men from Donavan's Cafe. Some of them walked straight and alert as if on their way to make some big business deal while others, somewhat unbalanced, looked around as if undecided as to which way to go, or perhaps not caring. It was Saturday afternoon, and Pop Peters was, as usual, in town buying his week's supplies. Pop was the oldest inhabitant of the town, or near the town for he lived three miles north with his wife and four children. The four children were sons of his own daughter who died two years before leaving the orphans in care of Pop. This all added to the misery of the Peters family for Pop found it hard enough to support his wife and himself because of his old age. All of his life he had lived in the vicinity of Beaver's Point and was once one of the best trappers known. Now, his age prohibited the long trapping trips every day, but in spite of this he toiled on and always had money for his purchases in town. Everyone looked up as he strode unto Murry's grocery store rather briskly. Hello Pop, said Ray Anderson, How's the fur going this week? Not so good, son, returned Pop dismally, lost over half my last shipment in the train wreck at Saunder's Crossing. That's too bad, said Ray sympathetically, but I hear they're taking a big jump soon. Pop gave him a short look from the corner of his eye but said nothing. N0 further conversation was carried on. Pop piled his groceries into his long arms and left the store. Ray rose and followed. Page Forfy-three ll.-KSN QI 'INTETT R THE FORVM Now, Ray Anderson was a man of mystery to the people of Beaver's Point. Two years before, he had drifted into the town as a trapper, seemed to have plenty of money and took up quarters at Donavan's Cafe. He had stayed there these two years, always paid his bills promptly and could flash a large roll at any time. He talked little of his past but won friendship with everyone in the village. Though he was only twenty-nine years old, his large frame commanded respect from all of his fellow-men and usually got it. Pop climbed into his wagon and drove off for home while Ray watched until he disappeared. Ray walked slowly to the Cafe and retired to the rear of the building where he entered a small room. Light from a single window in the rear of the room was cast upon a rough floor somewhat strewn with papers which had evidently fallen from the small desk in the center of the room. An old sink sup- porting a pump filled one corner and gave off a faint odor. The room was shut off from the rest of the cafe, and an old bed against the north wall gave evidence that this had been Ray Anderson's room for these two years. The faint smile left Anderson's face as he closed the door behind him and pulled a chair up to his desk. Immediately he was lost in an entanglement of papers. It was not until after seven o'clock that evening that he looked up from his work. He heard the ever familiar steps of Mary Donavan, the unspoiled daughter of Mike Donavan, bringing his mail to him. This had always been her little chore, but somehow Ray had forgotten her this night, and when she entered he did not look up to greet her. I-Ie remained with his head still sunk into his hands ponder- ing deeply. You seem troubled, said Mary easily, Are you still figuring? Yes, still figuring, said Ray looking up. Just another problem the govern- ment has given me to figure out. It seemed to Mary that Ray had several of these government problems to figure out, and such answers about them as he just gave her, often left her in bewilclerment. Perhaps I can help you, suggested Mary at last. Oh No, Ray answered quickly, By the way, you have my mail? Yes, two American posted letters, she said handing them to him. Are you going to eat soon ? Yes, I shall be in, in half an hour. I am getting pretty hungry. Mary left the room, and Ray watched her with fixed eyes. Oh God, he wailed at last, why do I have to live like this? Why did you pick on me? A painful look crept over his face as he looked up at the ceiling and then let his head fall into his arms on the desk before him. An hour later he raised his head. He was feeling hungry and lonesome. He stood before the mirror gazing at himself. Page Forly-fire THE FORVM Fool! he cried. And at that moment a careless look crept into his face. He flung the chair to one side, placed his hat on his head and left the room. He went to the front of the cafe and entered. Hullo boys! he shouted in a careless tone, who's drinkin'? Everyone looked up, surprised at his sudden change. He was not the Ray Anderson of a few hours ago, so stern and so quiet. But no one cared for this change so much as they did for the roll of bills Ray was fumbling with so every- one swarmed to the bar. The best gin was ordered and everyone drank freely. For the first time in those two years Anderson was seen drunk. It was not until his money was gone that Ray was neglected and left alone in the farthest corner of the room in a drunken sleep. His arms were sprawled on the table, and his head lay with one side of his face downward in a small pool of gin. It was these conditions which induced Bill Carson to become bold with his enemy and start to get even. Ray had always commanded respect from Carson and had always got it, at first by force and later through willingness on the part of Bill. Carson strode into the cafe and up to the bar. Hullo Kitg glass of gin, he said calmly. Did you notice? said the bartender nodding toward the drunken figure of Ray. Bill turned around and gave a start when he saw Anderson. Well, well, watch me have my fun, now, said Carson giving Kit the wink. He walked softly across the room, reached down and grasped the two table legs directly across from Anderson and gave them a quick pull. Anderson's re- laxed body went in a heap at the foot of his chair. At first, he was dazed and inclined to lie there, but he suddenly raised his head, his nose bleeding and his face covered with blood. A roar of laughter went up from the men. Anderson looked around with a silly grin on his face until his eyes met those of Bill Carson who was laughing aloud at the supposed joke. Anderson stood up. The laughter left the room. It was the most haunting moment in the history of Beaver's Point. Ray calmlywiped the blood from his face taking his time but never once taking his eyes from Carson. His drunken stupor had suddenly left him. Noth- ing seemed to matter, now, in this n1an's life, and all the fires of Hell could not stop him from killing Carson at that moment. He strode to the bar and took a mouthfull of gin but did not swallow it. It was after this that those in the cafe witnessed the most furious man to man battle ever seen in Beaver's Point. For nearly half an hour, they fought until Ray drove Carson to the bar and knocked him down. As he did so, he backed to the door of the Cafe waiting for Carson to get up. For a while Carson was dazed, then he gave Anderson a hateful look, reached into his hip pocket and whipped out an automatic. Anderson gave a Page Forty-six THE FORVM start, and at that moment Pop Peters entered the door of the cafe and stood between Anderson and Carson. It was too late for thinking. Carson shot. Pop gave a slight jolt, stood still for a moment and then fell to the floor at Anderson's feet. It all happened in the fraction of a moment, but Ray held his wits together and took Pop to old Doc Smith. . After being assured that Pop was all right, Ray returned to the cafe. He entered with a masterful look on his face, standing erect near the door. There was a murderous look in his eyes. Where's Carson? he demanded. Just went out the back way, said Kit nervously. I-Ie probably won't come back here. Anderson gave Kit a quick glance as if to say, No, Kit, he won't come back here, and then he left. It was true. Bill Carson never came back to Donavan's Cafe for the next day he was found just outside of Beaver's Point with two .45 bullet holes in his left side. Three empty cartridges were found in his automatic, so it was as Ander- son said, he probably committed suicide. lkikik Doc says Pop's pretty low, to-night, said Kit as Ray entered the cafe a week later. Thought he was getting better, but his spirit broke down this afternoon when he found that blood poisoning had set in. Anderson gave a sigh and sank into a chair. That man's got to live, he said after a while. Where is Mary? Tell her I want to see her, he continued, we've got to do something. Kit disappeared upstairs and soon returned with Mary following him. Mary, will you go up to Pop Peter's with me right now? I guess he needs. us pretty bad, said Ray without looking up. Anderson's broken tone seemed to convince Mary strongly, for she was im- mediately upstairs preparing to go. Anderson rose and left the cafe heading toward Murry's grocery store. Fif- teen minutes later he drove a horse and wagon to the front of the store, loaded in many things, evidently groceries and was soon with Mary on the way to Peter's cabin. I can't understand why Pop jumped in front of me that night, Mary, said Ray after they had ridden for some time. Doc won't let me see Pop, and I'm worried sick over him. Pop's about the only man I ever trusted, and Carson nearly got him on my account. VV hat a dog I am. But Ray, why do you say that? questioned Mary. You don't understand, Mary, Ray said. No one does, but I am mean as a dog. Not worth a hair from Pop Peter's head. But why- Mary began. Page F ori y-seven THE FORVM Some day, you may know, Mary, but now, we've got to help Popf' Ray broke in. Mrs. Peters greeted the two as best she could and thanked God that they had come. Mary set to work making Pop as comfortable as possible and cleaning the room as best she could. Ray took the things he had brought into the small kitchen and then sat by Pop's bedside until dawn, when Mary came in followed by old Doc Smith. Doc worked over the patient for over an hour before he said a word. He is improving fast, he said at last. He will live, now, if we give him much care. Much care was given a.nd four weeks later he was as well as he was before that fateful night. Ray said nothing to Pop about his actions that night, and Pop said nothing to Ray until one day he asked, VV l1at's become of Bill Carson, Anderson ? Bill Carson? said Ray as if thinking. Oh yes, remember that night in Donavan's Cafe? He nearly got you that night, but they found him next morn- ing with two lead plugs in him. Too bad, said Pop seriously, but I couldn't let him get you so easy. I've known him for a long time, and I know he'd 'ave got you sure, that night. I had an idea I was in for it, and I would have gotten it too if you hadn't taken it, Pop, said Ray. Pop smiled and started for home. Anderson went to the cafe and took a table in the farthest corner from the door. For nearly an hour he sat at his table watching the men come and go from the cafe. Suddenly Kit came into the room, looked about anxiously and upon seeing Anderson, made hurriedly for his table. The anxious look on his face told Ray that something was wrong. Better watch your step, said Kit, the Canadian Mounties are here, and I heard them asking the Sheriff for you. One of them flashed a bill to be hung up for you. Your picture's on it and 35,000 reward? Anderson gave Kit an anxious look and then rose and left the cafe. As he did so, he saw the police walking toward him with the Sheriff. He lost not a moment. Quickly as a flash he ran to the rear of the cafe, locked the door of his small room and continued on his way around the building. Upon reaching the corner of the cafe opposite from the one where his door was located, he waited until he heard the police pounding at his door. His plan had worked. The police thought he was in his'room. Anderson ran to the front of the cafe and toward the stable back of Murry's store. On his way, he tore the poster for his capture from the post in front of the store. The poster read: WANTED RAY ANDERSON-KING JOH NSON 'ROBBERY--MURDER 355.000 REVVARD Pagr Forly-riglal T H E F 0 R V M He tucked it in his shirt as he mounted the horse which he kept in Murry's stable. An idea had suddenly struck him and it must be carried out. He rode fast toward Pop Peter's cabin, but as he passed the cafe, he was seen by the sheriff. By the time the police had their horses, Ray Anderson had a good half mile start of them. Pop Peters sat in his old cabin, eating with his family what little they had, when Anderson entered. He immediately sat down gazing fixedly at Pop. Neither of them spoke until Ray reached into the blouse, of his shirt, brought out the poster and flung it on the table. Son, is this true? asked Pop after reading. Nothing more, said Ray as he drew a large automatic from his hip pocket. Pop, I've been a fool. I never had a real chance, and I got the wrong start of life. I got in a mess in Chicago two years ago and came up here where you showed me what a real man is. You are the only true friend I've ever had, Pop, and now, I've got to go back and pay up. I knew they'd get me, and they're on- He stopped suddenly. The thumps of horses' hoofs could be heard coming clown the road. 'lPop, promise me you'll do just as I say? asked Anderson quickly. Pop thought, but only for a moment. Ray was his friend. He would do any- thing for Ray Anderson. Yes, said Pop shortly, for he knew that time counted. You're a man, Pop, said Ray in a rapid tone. They're going to get me anyway, old man, but it's going to cost them five thousand iron men. Get your gun, and stand in the back door. I will drop behind that chump of bushes and shoot. When I have shot twice, I will start to run, but you're going to stop me, Pop. What P said Pop excitedly. Don't be a fool, man, said Anderson trying to be harsh. Somebody's going to get me and I'd rather you got me than a whole army of mounties. Already the horses were heard at the front of the house. VVell, good bye, old fellow, said Ray we'll fool 'em this time, won't we? Tell Mary, Pop--tell her what a fool I wasf' In a flash he was behind the clump of bushes. Pop stood in the door way, his wife looking on from a far corner of the room too frightened to speak. A shot rang out. Pop stood erect, not a muscle moved in his huge frame. There was a pounding on the front door but still Pop Peter's never flinched. He heard foot- steps in the adjoining room. Two of the small boys ran to the door and braced themselves against it, but without a word. The knob of the door turned, a second shot rang from the bushes. Prespiration dripped steadily from Pops face as he waited for the dreaded moment. At last it came. Anderson stood up, threw his hand over his head and ran directly away from the cabin. Still Pop was motion- less but only for a second. Then slowly, as if drawn by magic, he raised his Page F orf y-nine THE FORVM gun, took aim, then closed both eyes and shot. Ray Anderson stood still and looked skyward as if in prayer. Then, as if tipped by the wind, he placed his 'hands across his stomach and crumbled foreward to the ground. The door of the next room was forced open. The two mounted police and the sheriff came in looking first at the frightened figure in the corner and then at the erect figure in the doorway. So he decided to pick on you at the last, did he? said the sheriff. Good thing you got him first, Peters. Pop turned slowly around while the two police went out after Anderson. They brought him into the cabin. His left side had been just grazed and though con- scious, he kept his head down and his eyes closed. Anderson, said the sheriff, you are under arrest for the robbery of Chicago First National Bank, and for the murder of Bill Carson. Pop Peters gave a flinch but remained silent. He saw now that it was Anderson who got Bill Carson that night, and he began to understand the govern- ment problems that Ray had had to solve. The three officers took Anderson from the cabin while Pop and Mrs. Peters followed. There will be a little reward down at the office for you next week, the sheriff told Pop as he drove away. Pop with his gun still in hand stood beside the ash hopper watching the four as they disappeared down the road. T he still frightened Mrs. Peters stepped closer to him. A man, said Pop with a look of pain on his face, and he had to go that way. THE SPIRIT OF '29 Frances Reese, '29 Honk, Honk. There's Peter now. Cone on, let's have our ginger ale out doors, called Willy as she dashed out of the auditorium. The others followed and swarmed over Peter and a queer looking car for their ginger ale. It was Class Day. The pro- gram was over and some of the crowd had remained to discuss plans for the summer. Easy going and much abused Peter had been dispatched for a drink or something for the crowd. Thanks a lot, Peter. This goes right to the spot. Say, for heaven's sakes, do you expect I'm treating you? he asked. Sure, Peter, just think you may never see us again and this is the last good deed you can do for your beloved class, said the laughing, black-eyed and curly headed, little Wilma Sanford, called Willy by all of her friends. Too bad it is. Well I won't fight with any one to-day over it, but you can all consider yourselves in debt. Page Fifty THE FORVM Then the usual rag and tear was thrown at Peter and his aeroplane, the Spirit of '29. It was really an old Ford made over to resemble an aeroplane as nearly as possible. The seats were something like cockpits and there was a large propeller attached to the front. That was as far as it went. At some time there had been short wings but they were sadly battered from carrying an overload of fellows about town. Peter, when are you going up in a plane? This summer. Where's the money? Well I won't have any if I buy up all the ginger ale in the town that's sure. Peter, Peter, say, Peter, where did you get such a common name for such it an an uncommon person ? Peter the Great, son. While the crowd was breaking up Peter and john Avery, the president of the class collected the bottles and then took Wilma and her friend Evelyn Grey, better known as Spider because of her long legs and arms, home. The same night a group were gathered on Willy's porch, wondering where Peter and jack were, when Peter drove madly into the yard and burst out, What do you suppose has happened now? jack has broken his hip. Jack ? A broken hip? How ? What in the dickens will we do? And Willy asked anxiously, Peter, is he hurt very badly ? Badly enough so that he can't be at graduation to-morrow night. We got in an accident on the way home. The 'Spirit' is all right but Jack's laid up. What will we do for a president now P One of the fellows spoke up, Spider is Vice-President so she can lead us can't she? But she's a girl and we have never had a girl for president on graduation, said some one else. Spider got to her feet in a daze, What did-? No, I can't be president that's sure. I'll call a meeting to-morrow and we can elect a boy. We won't do any such thing, said l1Villy and Peter to-gether. Every one laughed at VVilly and Peter standing so faithfully by their Spider, But the rest stood by too and Spider led her class. The next evening after graduation, Jack's three closest friends came to tell him all about it. He had been brought out on the porch and was certainly glad to see them. Oh gee, you really came. I knew Peter would come, but I didn't dare hope he'd bring you girls. Come here and sit beside me, VVilly. He couldn't very well keep us away, old man, said Spider, Well I led Page Fifty-om' THE FORVM your Senior Class. You can almost be thankful you didn't have to be there and have every one look at you first. First time I've known you to be so bashful, Spider. Well you found out I am now. But oh, Jack, what do you suppose? VV e all have prizes, even Peter. Peter? I Yes, Peter, said Willy, You know the state scholarship for the aviation school that we couldn't persuade him to try for? VVell he won it. Peter, you old bumf' said jack. Why in the dicken's didn't you let us know you were writing that composition? What's the use? You'd only laugh at me. Anyway Spider did know. She persuaded me to write it, but she promised not to tell. Well, I knew you could do it, remarked the knowing 'Spider.' Peter was getting too much attention for such a bashful person so he said, Oh well that's not getting two prizes like you. What ? Yes, what, if you want to but you got the math prize and the University scholarship. Willy has the English prize and Spider, the girl's athletic prize. Our foursome is well represented. I'll say so. That's great girls. And oh, jack, said Willy with a little bounce, we'll all be to-gether next year. The three of us will be at the University and Peter not so far away. Well, are you going to talk all night P asked Peter as he pulled Spider out of her chair. I've promised to give you the first ride in my aeroplane but I guess you'll have to go home in the 'Spirit of '29' to-night and for the rest of the summer. You'll havethe old bus on your honeymoon, see if you don't, said Willy. Are you going to take me home? Jack can't. No, Peter, don't bother about her. Dad will take her home. Now, don't make a fuss, Willy dear, because it won't do you any good. They don't want you anyway and I do, Good night 'Spider'. It might be well to add that Peter and Spider did not have to go on their honeymoon in the Spirit of '29 but when the happy day came they had a real up-to-date plane. FIRE ' 1frf'deriflc W. Ross It was long ago in Israel during the eighth century B. C. that a certain man sat in a great carved chair and beat a rythmic tattoo on its arm. It was plain to see that he was disturbed and his perplexity seemed overshadowed with sadness. The long room in which he sat was scantily furnished, but one could tell from those furnishings which were present and from the prevailing atmosphere that this was a rich man's beclchamber. His clothing also told of his position for he Page Fifty-Iwo THE FORVM was dressed in fine material and the curves of his garment fell artistically about his limbs. He was a young man and his handsome head, usually held high, was bent. His thoughts were recalling again that scene of just last night when he had so unexpectedly met jessica and they had sat down to talk. If it had been another he would have soon forgotten the event but it was Jessica. She was a fair woman envied by her sex, and loved by Sihon, the young man sitting here so dejectedly. They had been delighted to meet each other and had talked, as usual, of the pending topics of the day-the city, their friends, the king and queen, and then of the famine. It was during this time that there was a famine in the land and Sihon had brought up the subject saying, The king and Obadiah have gone to find new pasture for the horses, but I fear that in these times verdure is a scarcity. Truly this famine weighs heavily on the people and it is my daily prayer to Baalam that our country may be delivered, his lovely companion had answered. There was a pause in their conversation and suddenly Sihon said as if speaking his thoughts aloud, Baalam is no just god, it seemeth to me, for no just god would afflict his people with such a famine. This famine is a punishment. He paused, and then- One doubts whether Baalam is truly a god and my spirit is sorely tempted to turn to the God of Abraham and Jacob. jessica was shocked and surprised at this statement and hastened to assert her loyalty to the pagan god. Does not Baalam punish us for our sins with this famine P she wanted to know. Do we not deserve to suffer for our iniquities toward him? Such denunciations as yours rouse his wrath and I warn you to beware. And the God of Jacob ? asked Sihon. Perhaps it would be well to tell here of the existing conditions in religion at this time. It was during the reign of Ahab that the God of Jacob had been forced to give way to a new god, Baalam. Ahab, the king, had married a pagan princess, Jezebel, and it was in accord with her wishes that a temple and altar had been built to Baalam. Some of the people had not wanted to accept this new god but finally their worship of him was forced upon them and they accepted it to save their lives. Others, who thought that a god whom they couldn't see was of no conse- quence, were glad to accept Baalam. So it was that paganism once more crept into Israel and the people accepted it. As the question came from Sihon, Jessica offered the argument which those people had offered long ago. Does one not see Baalam and know that he is god, while if one would worship the God of Isaac he would have to imagine Him, and in imagining Him really not know of what manner He is? But faith, woman, that is an essential of belief in Him. If one can have faith in Him he does not need to see Him. I would that He would come and destroy Baalam. Page Fiffy-fhrre THE FORVM This denunciation of Sihon's was probably due to the fact that his father had not always been a worshipper of Baalam. It was in the latter's memory that the change from the God of Issac to the new god had taken place, and although the man had accepted Baalam to save his life, he often talked of the old God to his son. Sihon had felt a response to his stories of the God of Jacob and had long wished to know more of Him. He turned to Jessica with, Could not my God be the one who is punishing us for our sins? Could He not be as well stirred to wrath as Baalam ? And so they had argued-the one for the idol and the other for the old God. The argument grew hotter and love was forgotten, while firm words of denuncia- tion, each of the other's god, ensued. Both seemed certain that his God was the better. Both offered what proofs they could to prove the supremacy of one god over the other and yet neither of the two persons was ready to acknowledge a single point the other made. One word led to another and when Sihon suddenly turned from the woman, thoroughly disgusted with what he thought was stupidity, he told her she was truly stupid and stubborn like all women. jessica had not failed to retort, saying, And thou, despised one, get thee from my sight and go among the dogs where thy wild barkings can meet with wilder responses. So they had parted and what they thought was to be a pleasant conversation had turned out to be a mad argument. It was about this affair that Sihon was thinking on the next morning. He was perplexed because he didn't know which god was the right god Cthough he insisted that it was his ownj and sad because he loved Jessica while the breach that would come between them from their foolish- ness was not pleasant to contemplate. Many were the happy hours they had spent to-gether, many the times. His thoughts were interrupted by the entrance of a servant who rushed into the room crying, Master, the king has sent for the children of Israel to come to Mount Carmel for it is there that the prophet Elijah will prove that Baalam is a false god. Elijah? Baalam a false god P After having just thought about his quarrel with Jessica, Sihon was not expecting any such news as this and he was most sur- prised. He thought that he must be dreaming and passing his hand over his eyes he mutttered, Baalam a false god ? This was too much for the rich man and he turned to the servant with the question, Where have you obtained this news? My lord, the king's messengers are everywhere and even now you yourself can see that the streets are full of people, explained the slave. Sihon went to the street at once and found it was as the servant had said. Everywhere people were hurrying toward the great Mount Carmel in the distance. As Sihon made his way through the crowd murmurs of False prophet , Beg- gar , and Liar were heard among the people. However, there were some who Page Fifty-four THE FORVM whispered more hopeful phrases as, Deliverer , Messenger of the God of Issac and Blessed Eli jah . As he elbowed his way along toward Carmel, Sihon realized that he was not the only one who had longed to know the God of Issac better and his heart beat faster as he wondered if this man would be able to prove that God was God. Many people were already at the Mount when Sihon arrived. What a con- trast the conflicting parties for the different religions made. On one side was Elijah and his attendant. He was a man with wild shaggy hair, dressed in a sheep skin coat yet he had a certain calm air about his person that made him respected and feared. On the other side were the eight hundred and forty prophets and priests of Baalam and Astoreth, another pagan goddess. Some of the people were snickering, some were cursing and others were bowed in silent prayer. 1 After a while Elijah proposed that a sacrifice be offered on both of the altars without a fire beneath them saying, And the God that answereth by fire, let him be the God. The priests and prophets of Baalam accepted this and made ready their sacri- fice, calling on Baalam to send the fire. They called until noon and then cut them- selves with knives and lances, but with no avail. At midday Elijah had repaired the altar of God and in the evening, after putting the wood in order and sacrificing the bullock, he ordered water to be poured three times on the sacrifice and the ditch around the altar to be filled. The people who had watched all day were no longer snickering. Baalam had not answered and a silence was upon them. They were filled with awe at Elijah's actions and waited impatiently to witness the success or failure of the prophet. Truly, they thought, even this jehova can not burn water, and yet they were still, hoping and waiting. As evening came on Sihon had sought jessica in the crowd and was standing beside her. No words had been spoken, but each saw in the other's face an ex- pression of shame and sorrow for what had happened between them. As they stood silently there Elijah lifted his voice and cried, Lord, God of Abraham, Issac and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel and I am thy servant. And as the prophet waited suddenly a fire descended from heaven and con- sumed not only the sacrifice, but the wood, the stones and even the water. When Jessica saw the fire consuming the offering, she grasped her companion's hand lovingly and with fear saying the while in an awed voice, Fire , The multitude fell on their faces and worshipped the new, yet old God once more. But not long did they remain adoring for Elijah called out for revenge on the pagan prophets. The people rose and in one accord loudly clamored for the blood of these men. Sihon still held jessica's hand and now he drew her gently away from the multitude. Let the others kill Baalam's prophets, he thought. The fire of God had given him back his love and he must hasten to heal the breach he had made and once more pour out his affection in extravagant praises.

Coggin Yoo-hoo, Mary! yelled Bill Swifter, as he was running across the college campus seeking someone who answered to the name-of 'Mary'. Bill was a strap- ping, healthy young fellow and handsomer than he had any right to be. I might also add that he was absolutely 'crazy' over Mary Stinson. h Mary was a tall, graceful girl with fluffy, blonde, bobbed hair and gorgeous blue eyes, enhanced by long, dark eye-lashes. Her mouth was an adorable cupid's bow and her nose a tilted pug affair which added greatly to her charm and helped to captivate Bill Swifter's heart. At the sound of the familiar voice, Mary turned and answered in a bright and cheery voice. Bill soon caught up with her and explained his excitement. Mary, will you go to the dance with me two weeks from tomorrow night P At these words, Mary's former brightness changed completely and her expres- sion became decidedly serious. This was the moment she had been dreading for sometime. She knew that it was coming, but she didn't know how to meet it. She paused a few seconds and when Bill saw her expression of dismay, he asked anxiously. - Mary, what's the matter? Surely nothing has happened in the last few minutes to make you look so downcast. What is it? Tell me Mary, have I done anything ? Bill, I can't go with you. Jack asked me the other clay, a-a-- and I accepted. Oh, well, if you'd rather go with him than with me, it's all right, because, you know, there are plenty of other nice girls in the school besides you, and I guess I won't have any trouble getting someone to go with me. Jack tried hard to say this very indifferently, but, nevertheless, there was a hint of anger in his voice. But, Bill, I couldn't help it. He+- You could too. You knew that I'd ask you. I haven't taken anyone else to a dance this year and I've gone to everyone and this is no exception. You might have known that I'd ask you to this one too ! With that Bill started away, very much depressed and sad and too hurt to care whether he ever went to an- other dance or not. Part of Bill's jealous anger arose from the fact that Jack was one of the most popular boys in the college and Bill was fearfully afraid of losing Mary. Mary rushed after Bill and catching up to him, tried to make him listen to reason, but in vain. He was mad, no not mad, but wholly crushed at the thought of Mary's going to the dance with someone else. Mary and jack arrived at the dance rather early and when Mary saw Bill walk in with a perfectly stunning brunette whom she had never seen before, she was, to say the least, very much surprised. She made a great effort to be especially Page Fifty-seven RAI, CLIQB VI 'Ii l f+ l-lplulluulxnprl THE FORVM nice to Bill when she saw him, but it did her no good, as Bill absolutely snubbed her. Later on in the evening, between dances, Mary managed to slip out of the dance hall into an adjoining balcony. She left the hall in an attempt to forget her ill humor. As luck would have it, Bill also went out to seek refuge from the gaiety of the crowd just a few minutes after Mary. He, too, thought that he would find the balcony a perfect haven for forgetting his troubles. It was a perfectly magnificent evening, one to make poets compose symphonies about God's beauteous nature. The myriads of tiny stars, twinkling in the skies as though the whole were at peace with each and every individual, the quiet- ness of the surroundings, and the wonderfully cooling breeze, all tended to alle- viate any misunderstandings. Mary basked in the beauty of all this to her heart's content: in fact she was so hypnotized by the magic of it all that she gradually forgot her reason for coming there. It was all so lovely, so like a dream that she did not want to be disturbed from her present state of bliss. Shortly afterwards Bill stepped out on the balcony, but luckily Mary neither saw nor heard him, so he had the opportunity of watching her from the corner. He thought that he had never seen her so beautiful as she seemed that night while standing on the balcony, gazing out into the mystic night. Then something within him said, Go make up with her, you fool. She is most likely in an especially kind and forgiving mood and will be willing to let bygones be bygones, as she cer- tainly must be furious at you, particularly since you brought such a stunning girl to the dance. After a few moments meditation, he said to himself, Well, it might help matters a good deal if I do try to fix up everything and I guess it's worth trying. VVith these thoughts, he started forward, but had not advanced more than a step, when -i---. A little while before this, three rough looking men appeared on the edge of the campus. Remember, you two birds, when the two of them are together on the balcony, grab 'em. It may be late, it may be early, but that doesn't make any difference. They both have very wealthy parents and we can hold 'em for a big ransom. Now, clon't forget, she's a blue-eyed blonde, tall, slim and athletic in build. I'll be wait- ing for you in the car. Yes, but how do you know that she will be on the balcony? Suppose she doesn't go out there, then what'll happen P inquired one of the trio. Now don't worry, I've taken care of that, answerd the first speaker who seemed to be the leader, I've been keeping an eye on 'em for a long time and whenever the two of 'em go to a dance togethernthey manage at some time or another to slip out on the balcony alone. Q , 4 We get' cha, boss. jim's to hide in one corner behind the plants and me in the other, O. K.? Page Fifty-nine THE FORVM UO. K. See you later. Now don't dare fail me, or you'll suffer plenty for it. Bill had hardly gone a step toward Mary, when ........ the two men crouched behind the plants seized Bill noiselessly from behind. Mary also had the same fate. They tightly gagged both of them and soon bound Mary beyond all resistance. However, they had a harder time with Bill, for he put up a strenuous fight, but the two large men were too much for him and eventually overcame him. The two were carried from the balcony and none heard the struggle on account of the noise in the dance hall. Now that the kidnappers had all their plans working satisfactorily and had progressed a few miles toward their destination, the leader of the ruffians dis- covered to his utmost anger that a most serious error had been made in kidnapping the wrong couple. After severe wrangling and swearing with his colleagues, he roughly unbound his prisoners and, robbing them of all their money and jewels and admonishing them to keep their mouths shut, pushed them out into the road and drove away. A few minutes after the bandits had disappeared and after Bill had found that Mary was safe, he said to her in a very humble way: Mary, I'm sorry that 1 acted so bull-headed about the dance. Of course, it wasn't your fault. You couldn't help it, if Jack asked you and you couldn't pos- sibly have refused him, in view of the fact that he asked you so soon. Won't you forgive me, Mary? But what about the girl you had with you tonight? Oh! Gee! She was only my cousin from Detroit. Now, am I forgiven ? Yes, If you get me back home tonight. Well, then it's lucky for me that they let us off where they did. You see that light about half a mile away? Well, I know the man who owns the place and I'm sure he'll let me take his car for tonight. KNOW YOUR HISTORY Esther K. Abkariau, '30 Well, Mother insists that we're descended from Henry the VIII, so why shouldn't I wear this as well as anything else to the party? The invitation said to wear historical costumes. Anyway, I think it's very becoming to my particular kind of beauty, finished Natalie Reed decidedly, as she arranged her lace ruff a bit more correctly about her throat. Did you say your peculiar kind of beauty? queried her brother Bob, as he passed in the hall. Oh, all right, go as Catherine of Aragon, if you wish, answered Lucia, but it seems rather pointed, especially when you know that Park Lewis is going as Henry the VIII. X Oh, but Luke dear, you forget that 'all is fair in love and war'g so in this Page Sixly THE FORVM case it's all right to relive history. It may wake Park up and make him see that I'd just as leave be his wife Catherine. With these last words Natalie went to her room to remove her costume. Their club, headed by Gloria VValker, was giving an Historical Costume Ball , as the invitations read. Each person was to dress like a character from history, and was to wear a tag indicating whom he was impersonating. A prize was to be awarded for the best costume. Lucia sat rather shocked for a momentg she knew that Natalie had designs on Park Lewis, but she hadn't thought that Nat felt so seriously about it. However, she knew that she liked Park fully as much as did Natalie, but she was sure that Nat suspected no such thing. If she had, Lucia felt that she would not have re- mained so long in Nat's good gracesg for Natalie had a little habit of obliterating her rivals. But what was it Nat had said about all being fair in love and war? Lucia began to think. ,k ,k ,k But Luke, what are you going to wear? Haven't you decided yet? Natalie asked rather petulantly, for the strain of getting many yards of lace and satin to drape gracefully in approved medieval style was beginning to tell. Really, Nat, I haven't decided yet. I think I'll go as Queen Isabella. Mother is making my costume, and if I should find someone else is going as Isabella I can change and go as some other medieval lady. It doesn't really matter. Natalie didn't notice that Lucia's answer was rather vague. That evening Nat called Lucia up to tell her that she had heard that Gloria Walker was going as Queen Isabella, so she supposed that Lucia would have to find something else 5 and strange as it may seem Lucia wasn't at all disturbed. lk lk 'F There were so many medieval ladies that Lucia had rather a difficult time finding Natalie among them. But when she found her she realized ,that it wasn't hard at all, for Nat's costume was by far the most elegant of all. Real satin and lace replaced the regulation sateens and net of most. At the moment of her discovery Lucia heard Park Lewis saying to Natalie, Tl1at's a classy costume you have on, Natalieg I'll have to have the first dance with my historical consort. Towards the end of the first dance Park looked toward a window, and saw Lucia there. She looked very old-fashioned and dainty in her lace ruff and rayon draped costume. Park whistled. Gee, but that style of costume is becoming to Luke, isn't it, Nat P However, his eyes were more on the fresh beauty of the girl herself than on the costume. Natalie with her dark Spanish beauty might be very appropriate in Catherine of Aragon's partg but undoubtedly she lacked a certain aliveness and joyfulness that Lucia's golden brown curls and sparkling dark eyes seemed to give off. Natalie felt rather peeved that Park's eyes should even for a moment stray from her own fascinating self. Oh, yes, she muttered absently, her mother's a Page Sixty-one THE FORVM perfect wizard with a needle and a piece of material,', and as an added attrac- tion she pressed her sleek dark head against his shoulder. At the end of the dance Park was instantly relieved of his partner by other admiring swains, and he hurried immediately to Lucia's side. As they swung of f into the next dance Park glanced down at the card tucked into Luke's lace ruff. There he read these words, printed in Lucia's neat hand: Ann Boleyn, the second love of Henry VIH. To himself he said, The little minx! But it really serves Nat right. But his only act was to tighten his grasp about his partner. if 4- wr Natalie easily walked away with the prize, for her costume far surpassed any other in elaborateness of both material and style. However, as she glanced about she was acutely aware of both Park's and Lucia's absence, and as her eyes found a doorway she saw them disappearing onto an adjoining balcony. For a moment the lovely prize she held lost all value. Then straightening she took her defeat in the only way she knew how-by making another conquest. As she danced off with Lewis Boles, the Roman Soldier who had romped off with the boy's first prize, she looked at him with her wellknown fatal glance , and felt that at least he was secure for the evening. This was a great idea of Gloria's for a party, don't you think? But then, you can always trust Gloria for original ideas, said Lewis, hoping secretly that no one would cut in . It certainly was, rejoined Natalie, rather pensively. Really, you don't real- ize how much of your history you have forgotten until something like this recalls it to you. Outside on a moonlit balcony two more people were thanking Gloria for her good ideas. Luke. in her mind's eye, saw Natalie crossing the name Lucia Benton off her list of intimate friends, and gave a little sigh. Then she glanced up at the handsome, stalwart figure of the pseudo Henry VIH. who at that very moment was telling her how pretty she looked when the moonlight shone on her hair just that way g and she decided that it didn't matter so very much, anyway. JERSKI Nellie Montroy, '30 Even if you are a might older'n I am you ain't gonna boss me, came the sharp reply from jerski, the younger of two nine year old boys, who lived on the same street. Seltz was three weeks older than jerski and nearly twice his size. He often tried to show his authority over the poor little boy but not always was he suc- cessful. They had been brought up in the slumsg dirty, ragged, getting an old apple here, some dirty bread there, but never anything decent to eat. Page Sixty-two -T --'fu -- v---V-----v-.gg--,W -3- THE FORVM The argument began when Seltz tried to encourage jerski to go down to the store and hook some decent grub for a change. The clean food appealed to the latter but he could not be selfish. He must bring some home to his brothers and sisters and surely his mother would ask where he got it. If she found out, what would she do? Mother! Mother! How proud she was of him. But could she be if she found him guilty of stealing something? How often she had told him never to touch anything that didn't belong to him. What was he to do? as as wk Jerski and Seltz had grown to the age of seventeen. The neighborhood gang of boys, with Seltz as leader, had been planning some crooked work, as Jerski called it. He was a member, but not a very enthusiastic one. The gang threatened to throw him out if he didn't get in on the next big job. If he backed out he knew that his life would be short according to the vows he had taken upon join- ing the gang. The swamp meeting-the term given to the last meeting held before they completed a job-was in full swing. Don't forgit! One thirty to-night at the bank. Every body masked. Every man knows his job and don't you 'hawk' or we'll get yuh tomorrow night and kill you, thus commanded Seltz. The meeting broke up. The gang of five left the club house. Jerski lagged on behind while Seltz and the other three walked ahead discussing the gib money they'd have. Poor Jerski! How he would hate to get caught in such work. Again thoughts of his mother came to him. She was sick in bed at home. No decent food and nothing clean. No money with which to send mother to the Mountains. Dr. Hawkins had suggested this as being the only cure for her. Yes! He 'would go in with the gang and get some money-just for mother. As this thought came to him a smile crept across his face and he hastened his speed. When he reached home his mother explained to him. as best she could, that Dr. Hawkins wanted him to call around the next day and he'd give him a job running errands er somethinf. The idea appealed to Jerski at first, but it was clouded from his mind by the job the gang was to 'pull of f' that night. He went to bed, but should he see Dr. Hawkins in the morning or go with the gang? It would take so long to get enough money to send mother to the Mountains if he was going to be an errand boy. But just think! Over night he could get enough money to help her if he stuck with the gang. The moon shone through the dingy windows of the dirty place. How peaceful the moonlight was. Would he be as peaceful to-morrow night if he helped the gang? There really wasn't any danger of getting caught but a fellow couldn't tell. This thought fled as the clouds formed a shadow across the moon. His mother would surely call him early in the night. She usually wakened him at twelve to get her medicine. Page Sixty-tbree THE FGRVM If the moon was shining when she awakened him he decided he would go to Dr. Hawkins' in the morning, but if it was cloudy he would turn to the other path. And so jerski fell asleep. Some time afterwards he was awakened. Hjerski. jerskif' How soft his mother's voice was, but the last call seemed to fade away. He could see his mother's face. pure as a lily, in the pale moonlight. He arose and looked out of the window. There was the moon. shining brighter than ever in the still darkness of the night. He stood looking into a blank space thinking of the gang. Another cloud floated across the sky and past the moon as he thought of the possibility of being caught in the act. Those horrid bars! A cold cell! No companions! No mother to love him and yet he would do it just to help her, but . . . . if he was caught he wouldn't be any help to her. He would NOT go with the gang. That was final! He would apply at Dr. Hawkins' office in the morn- ing for the position. But what excuse could he give the fellows? They'd never believe his mother was too ill for him to leave. They'd kill him, as they had threatened. What could his mother do without him? Having left the window, he dismissed all thoughts of the gang and began to prepare his mother's medicine. Here is your medicine, Mother, he said softly as he approached the bed upon which she was lying. There was no answer. He repeated it a little softer. Your medicine is ready, Mother. And again there was no reply. He took her hand in his but-oh-it was cold. Two big tears filled his eyes as he knelt beside her. Jerski could not help his mother now. He had plenty of excuse for not joining the gang. He had taken a chance on losing his own life for the sake of his mother but she had gone before him. 4: 4: 4: The next morning .Ierski was sitting sadly by the kitchen window eating some breakfast a neighbor brought him. He shruddered at the awful stillness in his mother's room. Then he heard voices in the hall. Did you hear of the robbery last night? The police captured four boys, just after they robbed a bank on Park Avenue. I'M GLAD HE WASN'T A BANDIT Iflfinifred La Bar, '31 Squeak! squeak! sounded the dry wheels of Merwin Burgess' bicycle as he rode along a dusty road one hot. dark night. That was the only sound that broke the stillness along the lonely road. Wonder how far I've got to travel yet. Can't see a thing, he finally mumbled aloud. If I had a light, but the next thing he Pagr Sixty-four THE FORVM knew. he was shooting over the haudlebars and right over the top of a large animal lying in his path. Moo-o-o, came from the animal-a cow-as she fled into the darkness, dragging a broken chain behind her. Moo-o-o, imitated the dazed and somewhat angry young man as he picked himself up from the dust. You better run or-, he didn't finish his sentence but instead, walked over to his bicycle, which had been thrown to the side of the road, tried to examine it in the darkness. About this time, Judith Parker, a young girl of eighteen, threw down a news- paper she had been reading and listened impatiently to her grandfather, who had just come in from his barns. Yes, sir, he went on, she's broken her chain and run away. That cow causes more trouble than a dozen put together. If these old rheumatics- Never mind, grandfather, Judith interrupted. I'll light a lantern and find her. She probably didn't go far. So Judith jumped from her chair. lit a lantern, and left the house for a night adventure. As she went out the door, her grand- father heard her say aloud without knowing it, I wish I could catch them. That money would come in pretty handy. Puzzled, he took up the paper she had been reading. There. on one side of the paper were two pictures and beside them, in heavy print he read, S25.000 reward for capture or information leading to arrest of 'Black' Burgess and 'Red' Durham. notorious bandits. who robbed the Greene- wood County Bank of S100,000. So that's what she meant, is it? he mused. XYell. she'll wish a good long time 'fore she catches 'em. Merwin Burgess was still working over his bicycle when he raised his head thoughtfully and listened to a voice a short distance away calling, Co-boss, co- boss. Guess I'll wait here and see who he is. I can at least tell him in what direction his old cow went, he thought. As he waited, he saw a lantern bob around a bend in the road ahead. When it came closer, to his utter astonishment, he saw that the person carrying the lantern was a girl. She was out of breath and her face was scarlet from the heat. Merwin was suddenly so confused that all he could think to say was Hey! Oh! screamed the girl. Then, in a frightened voice, she managed to cry out, Who are you? Burgess, came from the voice in the darkness. Oh ! This time, she shrieked and fell in a crumpled heap, while the lantern was luckily blown out by a gust of wind. Good night! I can't blame her for getting scared. Guess I shouldn't have hollered at her so loud, said the young man who had now fully regained his presence of mind. Then he jumped up, ran to her side, and relit the lantern. Setting it down beside her. he turned to the ditch for water. However, he did not have to use it. for as he came back, two brown eyes slowly fluttered open to gaze wonderingly at him. Regaining her senses, she was about to speak, when the . A Page Sixly-fire THE FORVM young man cut in, Don't be frightened. You're not hurt, and your cow can't be so very far off. I happened to be coming from Greenewood City, and I had the misfortune to run into your cow. I'll help you find her if you'll let me, he finished. The idea of thinking this young man was a bandit seemed most unlikely, but Judith Parker decided that she would take no chances. His name was Burgess and he was probably running from Greenewood City. lt would be rather danger- ous to allow a bandit to help her find her cow, but she must corner him somehow. Yes, she said at length. as she rose to her feet, you can help me find Butter- cup, but we must hurry. With that, he picked up the lantern and both started off into the darkness. They walked along in silence as both were occupied with their thoughts. Mer- win glanced down at his companion now and then and reflected upon her beauty. Such nice brown hair and attractive brown eyes! Judith, too, had noticed the man at her side and tried to compare him with the Burgess in the newspaper. There was no resemblance whatever between the two. This one had a strong, honest face while the other had an evil expression. There must be some mis- take! Should she try to have him arrested? At length, Judith broke the silence, Why, we're almost to the old log cabin near the creek. Buttercup is no doubt there now. What log cabin Pl' inquired Merwin. My grandfather owns it, Judith explained, but it is too far from the house to use. He intends to tear it down soon and-why I do believe there is a light in it. They had now come in view of it and both stopped abruptly when they saw the light. I'll blow the lantern out and we'll see who is trespassing on your grandad's property, said Merwin. Then both crept silently up to one of the open windows and peeked in. On an old table stood a kerosene lamp, burning low. From one corner of the room where they could not see, voices were heard in low conversa- tion. Listening intently, they heard one man question another in a gruff voice, Do you think it will be safe here for a couple of days, Red? Sure, came from the questioned man. By that time the police and troopers will be calmed down a little and then we'll make way with our booty. They won't find us here. With that, Judith and her companion slipped steathily away from the window, not waiting to hear any more. They found the path leading to the barns and ran hurriedly on, stumbling over rocks and tufts of grass. At last they reached the big buildings and passing them, saw Buttercup standing quietly by the watering trough. All that chase for nothing, thought Judith- but, no, maybe not. The farm house was a short distance from the barns so that they reached it quickly, but out of breath. Dashing through the open door, Judith came upon her grandparents dozing in Page Sixly-six x THE FORVM their chairs. Oh, grandfather, we've found them! VVe've found them! 'Phone the sheriff, quick! We? Them? Sheriff? gasped the bewildered old man, rubbing his eyes vigorously. VVhy child. are you-what did you say ? I said-oh, I forgot. Mr-Mr-Burgess, won't you come in a while ? and then she dashed headlong into her story. When she had finished, her grandfather jumped for the telephone. Within an hour the sheriff had arrived at the old Parker place. Within thirty minutes more, the two bandits, Black Burgess and Red Durham, had been arrested. Now, said the sheriff as he was leaving, you've got some money coming to you, Miss Parker. I think that if you come into Greenewood City to- morrow you can get your reward. I will, Judith hastily replied. but Mr. Burgess, this one, she indicated, pointing to Merwin, gets half of it. You see he helped me find them. Just as you like, laughed the sheriff. I'm sure it can be arranged that way. Soon after, Merwin Burgess unwillingly took his leave. As he was going, Judith Parker managed to apologize, I'm sorry, Mr. Burgess, that I mistook you for a bandit before we found the real ones. You see why, don't you? Sure, he laughed. It isn't very often that an incident like this happens. And, she went on hlushingly, I hope you'll come again. You bet I will. with decided emphasis. Well, I must he going. Goodbye. Goodbye, Judith called after him. She watched him until a bend in the road hid him from her sight, and then she added to herself, l'm glad he wasn't a bandit-awfully glad.

Tom Skeyhill On April 10, 1929, thru the courtesy of the City Teachers' Association, Mr. Tom Skeyhill spoke to the citizens of Lockport on the subject of Mussolini and the Black Shirts. Altho his position was not good, lllr. Skeyhill held his audience not only by his personality but also by his knowledge of the subject on which he spoke. He had obtained his knowledge thru long study and by intimate relations, for several years, with Mussolini. Benito Mussolini was born in the little county of Romania in Italy over 45 years ago. His parents were very poor and it was thru the efforts of himself and his mother that he obtained a college education. On leaving college, Mussolini wandered over the most of Europe and because of his salient socialistic ideas, at the age of thirty, he was a marked man. VVhen he found that all Italy was disintegrating because of the corruption of the politicians, Mussolini himself went to all parts of his native land and stirred the countryside to the dangers which they were approaching with unseeing eyes. All the groups which he formed were called facists or more commonly Black Shirts. After many victories and defeats, Mussolini again had to come to the aid of his country in 1922 and with the aid of his facists, he was made the Premier of Italy. He holds the liberty of the people in his very hands and keeps it there. It was thru the carelessness of the Italian people that they lost their liberty. When they had the power in their own hands, they abused it. They elected people to important offices who were corrupt and who used the power given them for their own use and good instead of for the benefit of their country. The Italians will never again have freedom except when they unite for power, and rule Mussolini instead of he ruling them. They must be ready for democracy. ORCHESTRA TRIUMPHS On Thursday, May Z our Symphony Orchestra went to Fredonia to compete in the XVCSICTII New York Sectional Contest. The party left at eight A. M., and arrived at Fredonia about ll o'clock. In the afternoon the contest was held. Jamestown and Fredonia and Lockport competed in class A. The competition was very close between Jamestown and Lockport but when the decision was made. we had won. This gave us the XN'estern New York Orchestra Championship and the privilege of competing in the State Orchestra Contest at Syracuse on Satur- Pagr' S!'l'Pl!fjl-Sl'l'!'ll THE FORVM day, May 11. But, as there was no competition in class A, our orchestra did not attend. We certainly are proud of this musical organization and we sincerely hope that next year we may enter the State Contest. ASSEMBLY, MAY 6 This morning, after the devotionals, Miss Snyder's third year English classes entertained the student body with a one-act play entitled Meet the Family . The cast of characters was as follows: Y Mr. James Henry Barton . , , .... James O'Grady Mrs. james Henry Barton ..... Ruth Zuidema Mae Barton .,...,....... ..,. C atherine Long Tom Barton .... Frederick Sipson jack Summers . ........,... VVilliam Long Phylis Moore .,.. ..,. A nna Margaret Callahan Bill Freeman .... ,,........ D onald Pasko Marie .... .....,,..,.,. .,.,...,....... L o retta Johnson The plot wove around family affairs. Mae, who was spending too much for clothes and Tom, who did nothing but loaf all day, were strictly commanded by their father to remain at home and entertain a millionaire friend of his. Both rebelled to no avail. Mae impulsively declared herself marriedg incidentally a strange young man, Jack Summers, entered and she turned to him to confirm her words and Jack dazedly nodded. Jack was engaged to Phylis, a girl friend of Mae. Thus matters turned from bad to worse. The millionaire, instead of an old fogey, proved to be a handsome young man. Confessions were made and affairs came to a pleasant ending. A challenge was made to the Sophomores by the juniors to put on a play next year that would equal Meet the Family . ASSEMBLY, MAY 20 The Assembly opened, as usual, with the overture by the orchestra and the morning devotionals. This was followed by one of the talks given in the series on Banks and Banking. This morning it was delivered by Mr. Holley of the Lockport Savings and Loan Association. Mr. Evans then announced those to whom L's and sweaters were to be given. Roger Shaft and Melvin Coates re- ceived L's in recognition of their splendid work during the recent Basketball season. Sweaters and L's were presented to Herbert Knight, John Ritzen- thaler, Donald Evans and Robert Berray. Pngr Seventy-eight THE FORVM Mr. Gay gave us a short review of the happenings at the track meet held on Saturday, May 18th, which Lockport won by an overwhelming score, from its old opponent, Niagara Falls. James O'Grady, assistant baseball manager, followed with an announcement concerning the game to be held later in the week. Mr. Butterfield, musical director, announced the coming Operetta Belle of Barcelona and, incidentally, let us hear some of the close ups of the produc- tion. John Argue and Leslie McDermott sang one of the songs. Eleanor Dean and Arthur Lambert rendered another number entitled Honeymoon, These brief bits of the Operetta certainly proved enjoyable to the students and the ap- plause was generous. ' The assembly was then due for a surprise and it was none other than Stuart Dussault and His Orchestra. This organization, made up of High School boys and some of the alumni gave a delightful program of the more or less musical creations of the day. They opened with selections from the opera Faust This was followed by the Rapsody in Blue in which Ed Donson palyed the solo parts. This selection was played exactly from the score made for Paul Wliiteiiiaii and his orchestra. Assembly closed with the fox-trot VVhen Summer is Gone. -S. B. THE POPCORN MAN The popcorn man came down the street. And from the curb, which was his seat, A little urchin looked and sighed And down his cheek a tear did slide. Then, even tho he had no money, The man gave him a bag, with, Never mind, sonny. Ah !-If only my troubles could now be wiped out By the popcorn man, that good old scout. For that urchin was 1, and now I am grown And wealth seems so futile when one's all alone. The troubles of that far off day seem so small . They scarcely seem to be troubles at all. -Mildred E. Crosby, '3l. Page Seventy-nine T H E F O R V M BELLE OF BARCELONA On Friday evening, May 24th, a sparkling, vivacious musical comedy. The Belle of Barcelona , by Ross Chaney, was presented by the Musical Clubs of L. H. S., under the direction of Mondel Ely Butterfield. The presentation was replete with hauntingly lovely Spanish melodies and catchy Spanish rythms. The gay, colorful costumes of the entire chorus of 125 young singers from the Glee and Choral Clubs presented a captivating spectacle. The scene of the play is laid in the Plaza del Rey in Barcelona, Spain and the time is that of the Festival of the T oreadors. The story centers about the love affair of Margarita. a lovely Spanish maiden, and Lieutenant Harold XYright, Hal , a handsome young U. S. Customs Officer. These two leads admirably well taken by Dorothy Abbott and John Argue, respectively, who played their parts to perfection. Luis de Montero, a wealthy plantation owner Margarita's father was exceedingly well played by Lavern Colton, Grace Anson pleasingly characterized Gloria cle Montero, Margarita's mother. Entangled through the wily schemes of Francisco de la V ega. Chief Spanish C ustomhouse lnspector and a nobleman, who preyed on her father's ambition to become Am- bassador to the United States, Margarita's being forced much against her will into a marriage with de la Vega. The part of de la Vega was excellently por- trayed by john Godfrey. Leslie McDermott as Pat Malone, companion of Hal. kept the audience in gales of laughter with his comic appearance and remarks. Pat's rich Irish brogue and excellent acting furnished one of the high spots of the presentation. Irene Shimer as Martha Matilda Ayers, an English governess of a long line of untarnished ancestry , as she gravely assured the audience, provoked much laughter. However, in the end, right must triumph and Hal gathers evidence proving the dishonesty of de la Vega, thereby stopping the wedding ceremonies. Hal now proposes to Margarita and is accepted and Pat. telling Miss Ayers he needs a new governess , is accepted by her. The part of Mercedes, Margarita's sister, was played by Eleanor Dean and that of Emilio, a toreador and suitor of Mercedes, by Arthur Lambert, George Stinson took the part of Pedro, the de Montero's plantation manager. and Carl Raymond, that of Captain Colton of the U. S. Navy. All these parts were very well played and the actors deserve much credit. Altogether, the musical comedy was a gigantic success and it undoubtedly ranks as one of the foremost dramatic and musical presentations of the year. Much credit is due to Mondel Ely Butterfield, Director, Esther Lynd Day, Dramatics, Erhold Gunther, Stage Manager and Properties, Maybelle Smith, Costumes, Gertrude VVilcox, Dancing, Shirley Leighton, Scenery, Harold Suth- ers, Electrician, and Joseph Schurr, Construction Manager, for their untiring efforts to make the presentation the great success it was. And to all these mem- bers of the faculty and student body. the members of the Musical Clubs extend their heartiest thanks and appreciation. Page Eigbly-one KAN X L QW?

All the meetings have been important and a great deal of interesting business has been carried on. Besides the regular meetings, several special meetings have been held. At the meeting on March 15 it was suggested that the class hold a dance. Braden Fitz-Gerald was named as chairman of the dance committee. The dance was held in the gymnasium on the evening of April 5. About fifty couples en- joyed the good music and refreshments. It' might be added that the dance was a financial success, also, as several dollars, profit was realized intead of the usual debt. At the meeting on March 19 the class elected officers for the final term. The balloting was very close, and an unusual amount of excitement was shown. The following officers were finally decided upon: President-Eugene Kilroy Vice-pres.-Marion Campbell Secretary--VVayne Folger Treasurer-Lucy Mannino Marshall-George Burdick On May 10. Mrs. Spalding Evans told the class about her literary prize. This prize is a set of Shakespearc's works and is given to the Senior who submits the best literary work. A special meeting of the class was held May 13. At this meeting were chosen the class-day officers. The following is the list of officers chosen: Valedictory-Mildred Dobbins Salutation-Clara Foote Mantle Oration-Richmond Moyer Presentation-Ruth Hamilton, Frederick Vtfilliams Class VVill-Ronald McArthur Class History-Elliot Dix Class Prophecy-Mary Bryant Class Poem-Lucy Mannino Cheer Leader-Melvin Coates just now all the Seniors of '29 are looking forward to graduation with the class motto in mind- A quitter never wins: a winner never quits.

Fifty-eight members and guests attended this annual affair. which was held Tuesday evening, April second, at the Y. M. C. A. A dinner fit for a King was served by the Ladies' Auxiliary of the Y. M., followed by the election of officers for the coming year. Election results showed: President--Herbert Knight , V ice-President-Frank Crosby Secretary-Malcolm Young Asst. Secretary-William Miller Treasurer-James O'Grady These officers will be installed at the first meeting in November. Stuart Dussault and his orchestra furnished music throughout the evening. lt was with regret that this happy crowd of young people heard the strains of Home Sweet Home, which brought to a close one of the most enjoyable evenings ever spent by our Hi-Y members and their guests. -Malcolm Young, Secretary L. H. s. JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class of L. H. S. assembled for the first time of the school year to elect it's officers and arrange plans for a promising future. Little was done at the first meeting except to elect officers, which activity was peopled with great enthusiasm and excitement. The results of the closely contested election were: President-Herbert Knight Vice-Pres.-Angela Daley Secretary-Francis Madden Treasurer-Mary Louise Few. Members elected to the athletic council were Robert Berray and Francis Rit- zenthaler. A committee to have complete charge of the rings and pins was ap- pointed by Mr. Knight: Fritz Madden. chairman, Ruth Zuidema and Mildred Dohring. At the second meeting two weeks later the rings were selectedg the class should well be proud of its selection. At the last meeting Mr. Knight an- nounced that he would appoint a commtitee to have charge of the Junior Class picnic. The Junior Class of '29 is an enthusiastic and spirited group and it is expected that they will carry 011 the work of the Seniors to even a greater extent. Mr. Knight. a worthy member, will represent the Junior Class in the annual class day exercises. -J, M, Page Eigbly-svL'z'11 ...- ..f w Q ' w L.. T H E F O R V M THE L CLUB As this is the last issue of the Forum, the writer wishes to express the most heartfelt thanks of the L Club to the entire Forum staff for excellent space given it throughout the year. The Forum is merely another of the organizations behind which the L Club is situated. The last meeting held thus far was on May 17, for the purpose of arousing more spirit about the school to stand behind the baseball team. The Club feels as though the nine is not receiving proper support from the student body and intends to stimulate a more healthy spirit of backing. Various other matters were taken up and favored according to the best interests of the school in general. In view of the fact that Coach Schenk is to leave us this year, the Club in general is unanimously wishing him the best success in his future endeavors. As coach of the teams, he has become automatically a member of our progressive organization. At this same time, we welcome Charles McCabe of Niagara Falls, our future coach, who, I am sure, will receive the most enthusiastic support and aid in his endeavor to help L. H. S. to regain its prestige in athletic affairs. Four new members we have in our organization in view of their receiving the L award for basketball. They are Don Evans, john Ritzenthaler, Bob Berray and Manager Herbert Knight. They are warmly welcome and it is hoped that around the remaining members of the L Club of '29, a bigger and better com- bination will be formed next year, with the same ideals and principles. -F. Madden. THE L. H. S. ART CLUB The members of the Art Club have enjoyed an interesting and profitable year through the many narrative topics on travel, kindly given by friends interested in the L. H. S. Art Club. In March, Miss Luella VV atkins gave a delightful talk on her trip abroad, re- lating various incidents which she met with in Holland, Germany, France, England, Scotland, and particularly Ireland. The Club presented her with tulips as a token of their appreciation. In May, Miss Shaw gave an interesting account of her trip to Yellowstone National Park. Her descriptions of the geysers and other great beauties of nature, with the picturesque views, were of great interest to all. Miss Shaw was given a hearty rising vote of thanks. ' The greatest work of the club this year has been the library file. It is now complete and will be in the library in a short time. This file contains reproductions of masterpieces of famous paintings, sculpture, and architecture, and at present includes about one hundred pictures. It is hoped that this file will be of use not only to students but to all individuals interested in art. The public are invited to contribute to the collection. The Art Club is now looking forward to the annual picnic. This year it is to be held at Lake Como Park. Page Eighty-nine I3 Q -I LJ Q- 71 ?-' .. -A LJ F' 'I 'Z 1 A THE FORVM DRAMATIC-LITERARY CLUB As we, the members of the Dramatic-Literary Club, look back over our activi- ties of the past year, we have a feeling of success and well-being. Our Club was organized last fall by Miss Lynd, our faculty advisor, for the purpose of furthering dramatics and literature and debating in Lockport High School. VVe feel that our purpose has been accomplished. The club formed a debating team who made a good showing against Kenmore. We did not win this debate, because we lacked experience, but we, at least, laid the foundation for the future teams which will bring victory to their club and school. Besides this we have had a very successful play, Fingerprints, This year the Club established a precedent which all future dramatic organizations will have to equal. This was the first play to be presented by the Dramatic-Literary. Every year hereafter this organization will present a three-act play which will be looked forward to by the student body and the citizens of Lockport. The Club has also furnished material for assembly programmes, the last of which will be Sauce for the Gooselingsf' By our varied activities all the members of the club are in some project. However, this Club is not entirely devoted to work. About the middle of june we plan to close this year fittingly with a picnic, which promises to be a great Success, -Geraldine Nash, Secretary THE MUSICAL CLUBS The Musical Clubs are about to complete a very successful season under the competent leadership of Mr. Butterfield, Mr. Barone, Mr. Smith, and the clubs' officers. The outstanding event of the first semester was the Alumni COIICCTI in Decem- ber, in which all of the clubs, as well as several alumni soloists, were featured. During the second semester, there have been several important events. These included the Mid-Winter Concert of the Band and Glee Club on March lo, as well as Spring Concert of the Symphony Orchestra and Choral Club, with Miss Eliza- beth Wiilliams as harp soloist, on April 26. On both of these occasions small groups of brass and string instrumentalists were featured. The outstanding achievement of the year was the winning of First Prize, Class A, by the Symphony Orchestra at Fredonia, in the VVestern New York Sectional Contest on Thursday, May 2. Unfortunately, because of lack of competition, the orchestra did not go to Syracuse to compete in the finals. The climax of this year's work took place on Friday, May 24, when the Glee and Choral Clubs, together with soloists will present 'The Belle of Barcelona , :L musical comedy in three acts, by Charles Ross Chaney, which will be co-directed by Mrs. Day and Mr. Butterfield. lt is expected that this event will prove a fitting climax to one of the greatest years in the musical history of Lockport High School. -Lavgrn B, Colton Pugr Ninvly-om' G IRL RESERVES T H E F O R V M GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves have perfected their organization and have a well system- atized club this year. Managed by competent girls, it has reached its goal, to promote a friendly feeling among the Sophmore, Junior and Senior Classes. This year the Girl Reserves gave the Hi-Y boys a supper in the new Y. VV. C. A. After the supper there was a dance, which was enjoyed by all those present. The Seniors who are leaving the Club this year wish the Sophmores, Juniors and Seniors of next year much success in the management of the Club that they have left so well organized. -Viola M. Covell, Secy. FORUM STAFF The Forum Staff has held its meetings every Tuesday since the last issue. We have had all work and no play, but we are all anticipating a wonderful party in June. Mr. Folger, Mr. Dix and Miss Adams are going to select a place for our picnic and I'm sure the staff of '29 being together for the last time at this place will have an event to be remembered in days to come. To the Seniors we wish the utmost amount of success and happiness. and we hope that next year you will try to stay in touch with the school and there's no better way than to buy a Forum , Help next year's staff. -Dorothy E. Nicholls, Secy. THE LOVE CALL High, high up in the old pine tree Among the green needles, a red breast l see. And a little red head going faster and faster Pounding out notes from his drum like a master. Rat-a-tat-tat, how the notes ring out clear, Over the countryside far and near. Away in the distance makes answer a bird Charr, charr, his love call is heard. A short space of silence, the sound grows more plain Showing the labors have not been in vain Together they whistle and sing on their perch. Like a bridcgroom and bride on leaving the church. -Abel C. VVilcox.

THE FORVM STUDY HALLS PIERCE'S PERFECT PRECIOUS PROTEGES All great men, women, and organizations of the past wrote a farewell address when they left the world or retired to seclusion. Caesar attempted to make a few gurgles before his last convulsion. VVashington was less impromptu and prepared a fitting farewell speech that is the nemesis of all history students. And so this custom has gone hand in hand with history down to us. just as usages established in the government have become common laws of that body, so has this time-worn habit become a common law of society. In an effort to obey this unwritten law we will, in the following paragraphs, present our accomplishments and endeavor to write a tearful parting that will make the noble George squirm in his grave. We will also essay to give a few hints to enable the Seniors of the coming generation to keep within the limits of this concrete custom. VVith the annual beginning of this institute in the autumn of 1928, an as- semblage migrated into Miss Pierce's chamber in a manner which transcended all former records in dilatoriness. However, it was ascribable to this migration that George XVashington became the beneficiary of an annual bath. The shelves were cleaned, and the cups were promised a rub down in the near future. W e won the interclass basketball championship under the captainship of Melvin Coates. During the last half of this year our deeds were more promiscuous. Loves Triumph was successfully staged by George Stinson and George Day. Alonzo Hanagan wrote or should we say composed that beautiful melody, Don't lie Blue . Gene Kilroy and Fred VVillia1ns supported Elliot Dix in the Senior play. Kenneth liogardus also showed his virility in this play. Rchmond Moyer won the oratorical contest staged in this school a short time ago. And now our last manifestation of room spirit is being displaced in our baseball team. God bless them! You see we have been anything but inactive since last September. VVe have worked wholeheartedly and played the same way. Now, going out into the world, we take with us many dear memories of Lockport High School, but the dearest of them all will be the memory of our good times together in this study room. Miss Pierce will ever be enthroned in these dear memories. NVith her help, we, as a study room, have set up a standard which can not be equaled for stick-to-it-iveness. You juniors who will occupy this room next year have certain trusts to live up to. That is, George's bath and the tardy record and our other accomplishments. Hav- ing decided to precis our farewell address it is as follows: NVe would love to come back, but we pray to the :Xlmighty that we will not have to. Pugz' Nilwly-film' T H E F O R V M MISS HAUSNER'S ROOM Of course you know we'll all be Seniors UQ next year so we feel it our duty to make one more appearance as -Iunior's. Among our number are many nationali- ties: Mabel Le Fever-French. Irene 'I'homas-English. M. O'Connor-Dutch. At least we take it for granted. I. Gaude would never throw a bunch of spinach.

Mommy SOIDISANT SOLECISM'S SELECTED SOPHISTICALLY FROM RESIDENCE OF RANSOM'S RUSTIC RENEGADES Author by authority F. Leo Madden It is with heavy hearts that we, the inmates of Asylum 25 in Ransom's ward, look forward to a complete dismemberment of our ranks, but we are consoling our- selves that there are very few of us who will not be present when Miss Ransom again enforces her Pay or Stay rule. Some are looking forward with eager Page Ninvly-six THE FORVM eyes to the year when they, too, will depart from their beloved alma mater sans working papers. It is hinted that a certain few are planning to Hunk their regents so that they will next year begin in the care of Her Highness Miss Ransom. Buchanan, Stark, and Niland are still keeping their hair down with baseball caps while Alport, Jerome and Knowles are jumping, skipping or throwing the javelin for track honors. Roger Middaugh, the honest-to-goodness heart break- ing horror, is still endeavoring to give all the girls an equal chance toward secur- ing some great rural loving. Roy Hausauer is still holding down corner No. 1 on the northeast wing.

MIDSHIPMATES OF THE MCNAMARA Delightfully located on the top floor of the Lockport High School, is our com- fortable classroom, which we have just christened The Good Ship McNamara . All those sailing on The McNamara declare that the voyage of 28-29 has been the smoothest, happiest, and, we hope, the most successful that we have under- taken. Those who have diligently obeyed commands and fulfilled orders have received praise from our Captain and applause from our sailorgirls and have been classified under the Honor Roll, which at the present time claims eight of us. Some time ago, due to some unruly and mischievous sailor the strange appear- ance of a quantity of salt was noticed on deck but by a warning from our Cap- tain, the salt disappeared as mysteriously as it had come. Shortly after the last report was turned over to the Forum , Commander Robinson being in an extra frisky mood, acquired a strange fascination for a blackboard eraser, the powdery contents of which she patted freely on anything or anyone in her path. You may be sure this affair caused much confusion and amusement. Page Ninety-seven T H E F O R V M Pilot VValker has just handed me a report of the weather forecast which shows rough waves ahead. We suspect Regents. Among our various commands is the one that entreats each one to put in her appearance at or before 8:40 A. M. VVe all attempt. but because many fail, we are listed FIRST on the Tardy Report. And now as we set out to cross the predicted rough waves, for a glorious vacation at anchor, we bid you all a fond Bon Voyage . THE LAST 'WORD FROM MR. GUNTHER'S ROOM VVe've arrived once more. But have patience. 1t's the last time this year. As was predicted in our first report, the year has turned out to be one of the 11105t enjoyable and successfull which we have spent in L. H. S. One of the main reasons for this has been the efforts of our leader, Mr. Gunther, whose ready humor and fairness have made him the friend of every member of our room. VVe are sorry to learn that he is leaving L. H. 5. to take up a new position next year. We sincerely wish him success. Our final line-up reveals that our room has had a large representation in extra curricular activities. We have members in the Band, Orchestra, Glee Club, I. Club, and Hi-Y. Severel have gained positions on the Forum Staff, and, of course, we have had players on all the athletic teams. Don Richardson holds the office of President of the Art Club. Another well known member of our room. Herb Knight, has received the honor of being elected President of the junior Class. A team has been organized to uphold our name in interclass baseball, and we expect great things from it. There have been no great disturbances, humorous or otherwise, within our domain lately of which we might write. Possibly it is because we are all studying so hard. On the Honor Roll we find: Gordon Stearns 95, Howard Olds 93, and Donald Pasko 93. There are very few of us who remain till four o'clock. No, this is not a Chicago high school. The formidable looking weapon which one may see hiding its bulk behind our door at the end of the hall is not a machine gun. It may relieve you to know that it is nothing more than a harmless slide pro- jector for use in the auditorium. It seems that we have a budding mathematician among ns.

Kelley Page Ninefy-nim' T H E F O R V M MISS KENNEY'S HOME ROOM Well, I guess this is the last time you'll hear of us this year, thru the Forum nt least. We don't know whether to rejoice or to find a corner and have what the women call a good cry. r I imagine this has been a rather successful year for most people, that is judging by ourselves. Of course we haven't any bright and shining lights nor any mental or intellectual giants in here, but we do present a pretty fair average of the school. This is only for those who have come out on the right end. Of course you read our advice in the first issue of the Forum admonishing you to study and all that sort of thing, followed it, and now look where you are. The way things look now we're not going to see a lot of our friends any where near so much. They graduate and go out into the cruel, cruel world. One just gets used to high school and loafing, and then you have to graduate. S'terrible. We clonit think we'll ever graduate. All kidding aside, this graduation in one manner, isn't quite so pleasant as it seems. A person has lots of friends in school, both teachers and pupils, and then he graduates goes to college and has to begin all over again. Of course, he can write to them but is that anything at all like having a nice date? Well, I guess not! ! The end of the school year must be pretty tough on some of these teachers. just imagine their regrets at having to leave their wonderful pupils and classes and instead of sitting up burning the midnight oil checking papers of future presi- dents of the U. S. to have to set before a fireplace and hold hands with the hubby. Well, I guess all in this room will join in in thanking Miss Kenney for the way she has treated us, and in wishing the graduating class and the teachers who are leaving us all the success and best wishes in the world! -Carl Raymond THE SHAWMEN With the coming of spring, some of the members of our thriving metropolis have begun to feel poetic inspirations, for instance, Feet by Red Landry I think that I shall never see Such feet as those that belong to thee. Those feet, whose flattened soles are pressed Against the earth's sweet flowing breast. Those feet that travel around all day, And step on smaller ones, K in playj Those feet that may in summer wear, Instead of shoes, rowboats, one pair. Poems are made by guys like me, About such feet as belong to thee. Page One Hundred THE FORVM Harold Matheis climbed up on the roof, fell in the chimney, and now he's down with the flew.

Then it seems there has been quite a squabble in the Ritzenthaler clang Gene has come out victorious and Bunny has come out in pieces. Bill Spalding finally seems to have grown up.

We wish to thank you sincerely for reading these things and promise that they will be better next year. fAt least they can't be much worse.j But then, there are things even worse than these terrible Forum reports, for instance, the Regents which will be upon us in so short a time. Upon is a good word there, and we shudder to think of the many who will be crushed under the load. In some respects we wish that they were many months away, and in others we wish that they were tomorrow. We haven't learned a thing so far this year, and the sooner they are over the better. So, I think that we shall compromise and leave them where they are. We know that you are bored by such thoughts so we shall change the subject to something more interesting. We are presenting the prize for the dumbest mis- take of the year to Les Gunby. He had the misfortune of saying, within the Page Onr Hundred One T H li F O R Y M hearing distance of Miss Becher that utor takes the dative case. He was im- mediately ordered to write out the rule for the deponent verbs that take the ablative case. one hundred times. The next day he came to class with the rule written one hundred times. Utor takes the dative case. You can imagine what happened. The prize for gymnastics is being awarded to Bill Miller. One day, not long ago, we were all carefully minding our own business, as we always do CFJ, when someone came in the door. Of course, everyone turned around to see who it was. but seeing it was only Bill went back to work. Then, suddenly we heard a crash and a bang and all jumped up in time to see Bill stretched out on the floor. It is thought that this accident was caused by climbing the stairs and drinking too much school water. We are well represented in all the musical club organizations of the school CChoral Club exceptedj but are not so successful in respect to the honor roll. hav- ing only three members represented. But, we make up in athletics our deficiencies in studies. Our esteemed athlete, Frank Crosby, is, as ever, out gathering honors in swimming meets, having represented this district in a meet at Ann Arbor. VVe have an excellent baseball team in the process of growth and expect to show some other home rooms in this school how to play baseball. Well. we will have to say goodbye to everyone in the school for this year and especially to our beloved commander-in-chief. Miss VVheadrick, who has taken such good care of us. We express our desire that her portion of this year's fresh- men will be no worse next year than we are this year.

Page Om' Hundred Six THE FORVM ATHLETICS RELAY TEAM MATCHES STRIDES WITH COUNTRY'S BEST This year's relay team was strengthened by three of the members of last year's Pennsylvania Relay Team. These men were: Mel Coates, Rev Oldham and Norm Jerome. As a result of the elimination time trials to pick a fourth man, Joseph Mitchell was placed on the team. Although this team began work early in March in the Y. M. C. A. gym, the muddy condition of the track prevented much outdoor practice. The team left for Philadelphia at 7 A. M., VVednesday morning, April 24, ar- riving at the scene of the relays the following day at noon. They were housed and entertained by three fraternities of the University of Pennsylvania. This animal meet is the largest inter-scholastic track meet of its kind in the United States. Last year it was a semi-final tryout for the United States Olympic team. This year over 3,500 athletes participated representing every section of the United States and its possessions. The Lockport team was entered in two events, the first of which, the inter- scholastic 1A mile relay championship of America. was run off at three o'clock Friday afternoon. In this event the Gold and Blue quartet finished seventh, first prize going to Mercerburg Academy, second place winners last year. In this race Mitchell started first for Lockport passing the baton to Jerome, to Oldham, to Coates. , The team spent the remainder of this afternoon watching other high school, prep school and college relays and from this gained much valuable information. Saturday, the concluding day of the relays, the team participated in the one mile high school relay championship of America, each man running a quarter mile. In this event our team ran against New Utrecht High School, champions of the United States, a team from Hawaii and eight other high schools. The order of running in this race was changed. Coates starting, Oldham second, Jerome third and Mitchell anchor. The race was closely contested throughout and the Gold and Blue team came in with the fourth place honors. The team left Philadelphia, Sunday morning and arrived in Buffalo at 2 A. M., Monday morning. --Revitt Oldham Page One Hundred Sew: I 41 54 71 T H E F O R V M THE FALLS FELL! After many athletic contests with Niagara Falls in the past few years, in which they have usually come out on the long end of the score, the Gold and Blue track team, on Saturday, May 18, at Harrison Field, gave the Cataract City track pounders an overwhelming defeat by a score of 68 to 27. The Gold and Blue team, coached by our famous director Doc Gay, were in perfect condition and completely outclassed the highly tooted Red and Gray track team. Lockport, under the lead of Melvin Coates, captain, displayed a marvelous endurance and speed and had no trouble in taking nine out of ten first places, five out of ten second places, and three out of ten third places. Coates, himself, won the 100 yard dash, the 200 yard dash and the broad jump and assisted by the veterans Jerome and Oldham, showed a style of running similar to that of the ever famous track teams Lockport had in years gone by. However, the great surprises of the meet were the victories of Mitchell, Knowles, Alix, Grimble and Allport, practically all of them being new men in the Gold and Blue line-up. Bunny Ritzenthaler displayed a great deal of speed in winning the low hurdles in the fast time of 24.02. The only event in which Lockport was weak was the pole vault and this is easily explained by the fact that Niagara Falls had Joe Moran, a state man, who is capable of doing over 11 feet and also his brother who took fifth place in this event at the state meet last year. Coach Gay is looking forward to the sectional championship and is confident that Lockport is the strongest bidder for this honor. The summary of the meet is as follows: 100 yard dash-First Coates, Lock- port, second VValters, Niagara Falls, third Oldham, Lockport. Time: 10:4-5. 200 yard dash-First Coates, Lockport, second Moran, third Walters, both of Niagara Falls.

Page Om' Humlml Nine 2 4: 71 Z2 T H E F O R V M BASEBALL This year in baseball the largest squad in the history of our school reported for baseball. The team was well provided with equipment, for eighteen new uni- forms were purchased. However, only five regulars of last year's team turned out and the pitching staff has caused considerable trouble. Chuck Sheehan, a sophomore, showed up to be a very promising pitcher and with VVeug has carried the bulk of the work. Lockport opened the season with games with Gasport and Barker which were easily won. The Gold and Blue has been entered in a very difficult schedule this year consisting of Kemnore, Niagara Falls, Tonawanda and North Tonawanda. MEDINA VS. L. H. S. On Saturday afternoon, May 4, at Dudley Square, the Gold and Blue played their first scheduled game and lost by a score of 11 to 4. Chuck Sheehan, the new recruit pitcher, pitched a fine game and had it won practically up to the fifth inning when, due to costly errors by his team- mates, Medina netted three runs making the score 4 to 3 in our favor. In the remaining two innings Medina scored eight runs to swamp the Schenkmen. Lockport had 5 errors to Medina's 2 and this accounted for the loss. Pease and Dussault were the best hitters for Lockport while Raisner and Mallison were best for Medina. Chet Lockport Medina Dussault, s.s. Mallison, Zh. Stoll, r.f. Jntkiewicz, p. Healy, lb.

A fair number of spectators braved the wintry blasts. The Buffalonians started well. Micelli, first man to face Weug, drew a pass to first. He stole second while Hammer hammered out. Grange hit to left field and Micelli scored the first run of the game. In Lockport's half of the first inning with two down, Chet Pease drove a hard hit into left which went for three bases. Weug scored Pease with a single to left. White was safe on an error and Weug reached third. But further scoring was prevented when Haley fanned. The second round was a big one for Lockport as four runners crossed the plate. This feat was duplicated in the fourth inning. Dix started off with a base on Boqnard's error. Stark followed with a long single to right on which Dix was able to score. Stark stole second and when Buchanan hit to third he dove between the guardian's legs and both men were safe. Berray, after Dussault had poked a high fly, hit a double to score Stark and Buchanan. Weug ended the scoring by striking out. After being passed in the sixth, Hammer gave a nifty exhibition of base run- ninggstealing second, going to third on a passed ball and stealing home. Buchanan led the Lockport batters with a double and two singles out of four times up. Pease also did some heavy hitting scoring a triple.

L. H. S. LOSES TO KENMORE Lockport lost a close game to Kenmore on Friday, May 17, by the score of 7 to 6. The game was played at Kenmore. Lockport got off to a very poor start and was not able to overcome the four run advantage which Kenmore secured in the first inning. Niland came to the mound after the first inning and let the op- ponents down with only a few hits during the remainder of the game. Lock- port out-hit Kenmore and also stole more bases. Barring the first frame the game was exciting and well played. The box score was as follows: Kenmore Lockport AB.R.H.P.O.A. AB.R.H.P.O.A. Sterling, 1b. ,..... 4 2 4 0 Dussault, ss.

The Seniors were victorious.in the Girls' Inter-Class Basketball. The following Seniors won their numerals: J. Moran, V. Covell, D. Robson, R. Graff, L. Gooding, D. Pease, R. Hoole, F. Walker, M. Plant. The two winning freshmen homeroom teams, Collins and Barron, played off and resulted in a victory for the team representing Collins. The recent gymnastic demonstration held in the gym proved a great success. The particular purpose of this demonstration was to raise money with which to send the high school relay team to the Penn Relay Carnival at Philadelphia. The girls' share in the program consisted of a fine display of marching tactics, various games, an Irish Jig danced by the girls in costume-nine as girls and nine as boys --and a demonstration of exercises on the rings. Miss Wilcox has recently called for candidates for interclass baseball. As usual the rewards for the winners will be numerals. As no games have been played the champion baseball players are as yet unknown. Something new! T he girls are going to try their skill at Track. The practice began on Friday afternoon, May 17 and will continue on the following Friday afternoons of each week. There will be: Dashes-50 and 60 yard. jumps-Running high, Standing high, Running broad and Standing broad. Hurdles. Throwing for distance. OUR GIFT I sat in pensive mood, in the splendor of the moon tonight. Her beams fell all around me there and shed their silvery light, Everything so quiet and everything so still, I closed my eyes and settled back to drink this peace at will. I felt the soothing glow of that great wonder in the sky I sensed its gentle caressing on the lid which closed my eye It was as a salve applied at night, curing every pain A draught of sweetest life from which no one could e'er refrain. 0 Lord , I murmured in my dream, That life were but like this, That I might be forever here, enjoying heaven's bliss Then from a thousand angels' throats, an answer seemed to come God gave to thee and men on earth. the splendor of the moon. --VV.
