Yet there's a thrill of sadness That will not pass away. For autumn's golden weather No more for us will tell The hour of glad returning, To seeenes we love so well. Chorus: No more the good old friendships, No more the well known ways, For us new paths must open, New duties fill our days. But time can never alter Devotions tried and true And mem'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 .Nucl we forever Cherish Her honor as our own.

F Z II E- THE FORVM SENIOR PLAY The supreme dramatic function of the scholastic year, the annual Senior play. was presented on Friday evening, May 2, before an extremely edified audience. The drama, The Patsy, a comedy in three acts by Barry Connors, was intrinsi- cally a delightful performance, and the acclamations of the audience attested to this fact in a manner which left no doubt as to their appreciation of the clever dramatic appearance. The plot centered around Patricia Harrington, a role played by a charming leading lady, Anna Katherine Weiiclel, whose personality instilled in her acting was one of the outstanding portions of the play. Pat is greatly perturbed by amourous feeling towards Tony Anderson, a wealthy, young chap, whose finer sentiments are lavished on the petulant Grace Harrington. Irving Clark's role of Tony .-Xnderson was enacted in an exceptionally brilliant mannerg Adeleine Bolton portraying Grace Harrington was accorded much commendation for her fine work. Grace's affections seem to be rather vacillating in her choice between Tony and Billy Caldwell, an eligible young bachelor endowed with a goodly share of the root of all evil. The part of Mrs. Harrington, the didactic and sterling wife and mother, was taken by Shanette Gogging Pop Harrington, characterized by Roy Bass, proved to be the advocate of pacific and occasionally turbulent means of insuring connubial felicity. Roy and Shanette, we must admit, call up a mental picture of the radio feature of Mr. and Mrs , their dual acting was unusually brilliant and delightful. Nicholas Muller as Francis Patrick O'Flaherty, an attorney, Ruth Zuiclema as Sadie Buchanan, a friend of Billy Caldwell, and William Robinson as Trip Busty, a radical taxi drixer, are deserving of much commendaton for their characteriza- tions. Complications in the plot set in, but eventually Patricia and Tony and Grace and Billy depart for states of marital bliss. The technicalities of the presentation were flawless, Donald Pasko produced a well constructed set of scenery as the background of the drama. The stage lighting, greatly embellishing the already attractive stage, was the clever work of Fred Holder. Gordon Stearns, in charge of publicity, efficiently performed his tasks in an exemplary manner. Howard Olds and LaVerne Pechuman completely handled the business end of the presentation: Dorothy Strong likewise capably fulfilled her apportioned duties. That the drama was a gigantic success is due indubitable to the coaching and supervision of Miss Ethel Scagel. Page Forty-one 4 z 7. .Z 7 X .L I P- 'l.

MALE QUARTETTE lst Tenor-John Godfrey lst Bass-Leslie McDermott 2nd Tenor-Jack Deeringer 2nd Bass-Charles Moore Pagc Forly-five THE FORVM ll ED1ToR1ALs NOISE A freshman came to L. H. S. Frightened sore-bested And heard the noise made in the halls And straightway fainted dead. The freshman isn't the only one either who is damaged, as it were, by the noise around our good old L. H. S. It is due, not so much to the noise, as to the things that cause the noise. The click, click, click of those chic French heels and the clump, clump of the iron clips on the Number 12 oxfords are, for the most part. the noise-makers. The period of time between classes, and also, the study hall periods are almost always ruined for sensitive people by the click, clack of hard heels meeting the floor with quick malicious jabs. It is small wonder that people, coming in from outside, just as the passing bell rings, think there are at least 5,000 pupils in Lockport High School. For the most part, it seems as if horses had been let loose in the halls. Why cannot Lockport High School pupils learn to walk quietly? It would not be hard to wear shoes with sensible rubber heels on them instead of wearing stilts with tiny clips in them, or in the boy's case, leather heels with huge iron clips on them. That would lessen the noise and at the same time be profitable in an other way. Rubber heels are a life-lengthener. They take up a considerable part of the shock that is attendant on walking and insure the brain and nerves against no little degree of jar. CLOTHES DROLLERIES Collegiate means pertaining to college or a Collegian. Considering that, it is my opinion that we are sadly lacking in true collegiate styles. Instead, our young Chesterfields derive their inspiration from the comic sheets, always a source of joy, grief and innocent and childish laughter. It takes money to dress in the true collegiate styleg money that some of us have notg money that has made some of us seriously contemplate joining in May 1 celebrations, slumbering peacefully on the steps of city halls and walking the streets with bombs and false whiskers in our hands in the approved Socialistic manner, money buys many things that some of us can only gaze upon from a dis- tance. Why, there are even boys in this school who wear suspenders! just imagine! Not the humble ga1asus which held up the trousers of another genera- tion but brilliant, gleaming, glittering English braces that could attract the eye of Dante on his historic jaunt through Inferno. The tie is a subject on which one hesitates to commit oneself. There are nights when I dream of ties. Dreams in which I am supported on a bed of ties in which Pngc Forty-six T H Ii F O R V M red fl shudder to think of itj is predominant. Ties which contain every color of the rainbow fand some not in itj hand-painted ties with nude figures and green ties nestling cosily against purple shirts fa combination which one of our dashing, daring, absolutely insensitive students persists in wearing together with a red sweaterj. There was but recently a fad Cdefacing the Adams apple of the male half of our rising generation. The tie after being wound about in various and intricate knots that made its tying an occult science was allowed to dangle at will and blow freely in the breeze over the collar. Horrible! Knickers and socks can be treated as a whole. Not so bad, not so good. No one has yet had the intestinal stamina to appear in bright, light blue or orange knickers but I expect it daily. And when he does .... lt shall go down in the records and annals of time and shall be mentioned in whispers in the years to come that Lockport boys were permitted to appear in sweaters of a deep, rich, soul-stirring Vermillion. It will be a bit hard to tell our posterity that we, yes, even we, once wore a garment of that description. We shall tell them that the reason the present generation is going to the dogs Cas every present generation doesj is because of red sweaters. Red sweaters form a part of collegiate styles. Therefore, friends, let us band together in the great and glorious cause and ostracize, expell, abandon and do away with collegiate styles and save our nation now and forever more. Amen. -Carl Raymond, '30, A SUGGESTION Some time ago I read an essay on chewing gum. The author said that once observing several girls chewing gum he marveled at the amount of energy that was produced. I-Ie even estimated that the energy he saw uselessly dissipated would run a railway car. At the time the essay made little impression on me but recently I had an in- spiration. Why not devise a machine that would extract this potential energy and convert it into work? Scientists tell us that in a few million years our supply of energy will be expended. Certainly there must be a young Edison somewhere who will be able to conserve that inexhaustible supply of energy for posterity. I certainly am no inventor yet I shall venture a few suggestions. If some viscid substance were placed in the gum its tenacity would be increased and in order to overcome this the valiant gum chewer would be compelled to exert more force which in its turn would produce the energy so greatly desired. Then again it is pos- sible that the particularly rabid gum chewers be isolated. Think of the results! A race of gum chewers would arise which would be a source of power forever. Not only that but the gum would become merely an arbitrary factor in energy pro- duction for either Darwin was wrong or the descendants of gum chewers would have jaws that moved automatically. It is only necessary to harness this power to remove the last objection to Paley's statement, The great energies of nature are known to us only by their effects. -La Verne Pechuman, '3O. Page Forty-se ven T H E F O R V M ON SCHOOL FADS Volumes might be written about the students of this institution of higher learningg complete libraries, however, would not suffice to elucidate the foolish fads which seem to have so completely permeated the entire student body. The history of fads is but a continual round of the juvenile pastime of Follow the Leaclerf' let one student acquire an odd bit of apparel, and no sooner have the other pupils viewed it than they feel that they must possess an identical habilinient. Recall, for example, the Derby Club of several years ago, one enterprising young gentleman obtained possession of one of these iron hats of a long past age, and for weeks after, the proprietor of the vending establishment, who had resurrected these lids, did a thriving business. Again, even in this enlightened age, we frequently view portions of masculine anatomy indiscriminately displayed when their garterless sox gracefully drape themselves over dusty oxfords. Still others, as the ascetics of old, lay open their cerebral structures to the elements, rain, snow, or hail. During rainy seasons we frequently come across students wearing slickers of a vivid hue embellished with pictures of feminity on the backg we consider this an excellent form of free advertising for the fortunate girls. Far be it from us to discriminate between sexesg doubtless you have seen the stockingless females parading about during the warm weather, a lack of covering which has caused no end of connnent among school authorities. Each of us, I suppose, has his own particular debauchery in his susceptibility to some fad, let him without sin, therefore, cast the first stone. Fred C.

Page Forly-cigbl BAND THE FORVM ll LITERATURE WHAT ONE ACCOMPLISHES Gordon W. Stearns, '30 Come into my parlor, said the spider to the fly. But the insect last mentioned could scarcely have subjected himself to his host's hospitality with more timidity and reluctance than that which George Sterling manifested upon entering the editorial office of the Literary Indigestionf' George had long been expecting to make this social call, and though he'd been fully aware of how inevitable it had been, he had experienced more and more mental anguish as he felt the fatal day approaching. And now that his profoundest fears were realized, now that the hour he had been striving to avoid had forced its way into George's active existence, his worries changed to despair, and his heart, palpitating unrestrainedly within his quivering frame, seemed to indicate to him that he was totally unequal to the situation. With faltering step, he made his way to the main editor's desk, where a green-eyed monster, staring with intense animosity and hideous contempt, re- moved whatever doubt the victim might still entertain that the climax of his career was but a few moments in the of fing. Well, Sterling! his master's voice boomed, seeming more voluminous than usual after the brief interval of oppressive silence, VVhat are we going to do about the next issue? Why, er- George was not feeling exceptionally eloquent. The quality of the stories of our magazine, began the editor abruptly, has been lowering, and lowering, until all we're printing is pure, 100 per cent trash! Some- thing's got to be done! We can't continue to submit such mediocre publications to the people. Our circulation has greatly diminished in the past few months and it will continue to do so unless something's done about it mighty soon! VVhat's the matter with you, anyway? It's your job to see that we're supplied with first rate material, and yet we seem to have lost all our good authors l Well, George attempted self defense, Heaven only knows that I've tried and tried to get a rise out of several first class literary men, but . . . XVe're not interested in how much you've fried, interrupted the chief, It's results and not efforts we're looking for! I tlon't care if you've worked night and day, if you dicln't accomplish anything, your efforts are all wasted, as far as 1,111 concerned. I suppose we'd increase our circulation immeasurably by printing in the preface of the next magazine, 'There are no stories in this issue, but our literary manager, Mr. George Sterling. has expended every effort to induce the country's best authors to write for us. Perhaps next issue we shall have a story for you, dear admiring readers' Bah! But that seems to be your idea ! Well, if- Page Fifty THE FORVM i'And, anyway, what became of that friend of yours, the great Ferdinand Holden, who practically made the 'Literary Indigestion' for us. He hasn't con- tributed for ages, and a contribution from him would certainly put the magazine back on its feet again. Wl1at's happened to him, eh? I suppose he's doing the same thing all the other literary wizards are! Oh, for months I've been trying to get him to write a snappy number for us, but he refuses to do any more writing. He has enjoyed a spectacular literary career, and now he considers himself retired-in this decision he's as 'constant as the northern star' as Shakespeare says. Never mind Shakespeare, grumbled the seething editor. We can't get him to write any stories, so he doesn't interest me,-but there are plenty of others we can get, and it's up to you to get them! And if you don't pretty soon, I don't suppose I need tell you it's 'exit' for you. Shakespeare's credited with having writ- ten that. too, I believe. But I wish you'd give me a chance, Mr. Kensington. hCl'l8.llC6! I've already given you so many there aren't any left. However, if the next issue is as rummy as I think it'll be, it's curtains for youg and it seems to me that you'll have to move fast to keep from being hurled into the hungry mob ! The bewildered George had no reply with which to favor the last remark, but the embarrassing silence which had begun to reign over the desolate room was abruptly shattered by the opening of an outer door and the appearance of a busi- ness like individual bearing a litter of documents which he immediately deposited on Kensington's desk, and then departing with a terse, There you are, sir. Oh yes. sighed the editor, I'd almost forgotten. You see, Sterling, I'm reverting to the last resort. I had Billings look through the 'morgue' and bring me the most promising stories. It's certainly awful to have to resort to stories that have practically been rejected formerly,-for we paid a very small price for each of these. in the hope that we might be able to use them some day. Now I can do nothing else. thanks to you. At that, there may be a masterpiece here that has been overlooked. As you may know, that literary hit of Zane Grey's, 'The Riders of the Purple Sge', which won more acclaim than almost any other popular novel, was ruthlessly rejected by a publisher when first submitted by that author. There may be a 'Rider of the Purple Sage' here. VV ho knows? Let's look them over. VVith unconcealed disgust, the two literary men diligently scrutinized the first of the-well, for want of a more fitting name, Illl have to call them stories, merci- lessly threw them aside, until the temporary placidity of the room was disturbed by Kensington's interjection. Well, for-! Whatis this? He held up a page across which was typed Nocturnal Knocks by Ferdinand Holden. For heaven's sake! ejaculated Sterling, Where did that come from? How does it happen that wasn't published ? Well, I am certainly surprised to see it, acknowledged the other, but it is dated 1918, so I should judge that it was one of Holden's first efforts. Say, maybe we've found something! declared George hopefully. Let's look it over, maybe this is the solution to our trouble. Page Fifly-one THE FORVM However, after the first few pages of the story had been carefully perused, Kensington exclaimed, Oh, this is rank. It's childish! I can hardly believe that Holden could ever have written such a punk story. It's incredible-but, of course, it's about twelve years since he wrote it, and he's had many years since in which to develop his literary ability. And, at that, he surely has improved in those years! Gosh, I agree with you that this is awful, declared George, shaking his head disgustedly. The 'Literary Indigestion' may be getting bad, but it 'll never sink so low that we'd publish anything like this. We probably gave Holden a very small sum for this awe-inspiring tale, I don't know how we ever considered it a possibility, though. Probably we bought it to keep him from bothering other editors with it. Ye Gods ! Yet we can make use of it, George announced enigmatically. What! What are you talking about F I mean it. It may be too rotten to print, but through this little story we can make Holden write the type of story he is capable of writing. You see, we can tell him that if he doesn't write us something for the next issue, we'1l publish this thing. The appearance of this story would about ruin his reputation, and so by making such a threat we'd surely get a rise out of him. And he couldn't do a thing to stop us from printing 'Nocturnal Knocks,' for he sold us the right to print it long ago ! Egad, Sterling, approved Kensington, You do occasionally show a spark of intelligence, I think that idea would work. In fact, I'm quite sure it would. Oh, there's no doubt about it. I know Holden! He's proud as Lucifer. Well, get after him right away, enjoined the chief editor, We have only a short time in which to act l 4: ak It But, for heaven's sake, George! You can't print that thing, the literary genious, whose infinite abilities have already been discussed, was in a state of deep perplexity. His friend's fiendish announcement had astounded him in- calculably. I don't remember much about that lugubrious affair which must of a certainty be the worst of my juvenile attempts, but I do know that it is awful! Why, if that ever appeared before my admiring public, I'd never dare to face any one again. It would be disastrous! ' i Yes, indeed, I've figured that all out, replied George maliciously. So, you see, the only thing for you to do is to write another stirring tale. But you know that I've permanently discontinued writing. I no longer feel the slightest desire, or for that matter, the slightest need of producing another piece. I'm under no contract like a movie actor, you know. But now you surely must feel the need of writing one, for I assure you that 'Nocturnal Knocks' will be published in the next issue unless you have something else to offer us. But really, that's grossly unfair, old top. You can't do a thing like that. You wouldn't want to injure your magazine by printing that story. Page Fifiy-Iwo THE FORVM No ? sardonically queried the relentless George, Suppose you lower your- self enough to buy a copy of -Iuly's 'Literary Indigestion' and see for yourself. Think it over, old man. Think of your reputation and all that sort of thing, I'll be after your latest literary effort in a week. I hope you'll deem it wise to have it ready. I say, this is a bit unexpected, George. I didn't expect such extortion from you, old chap. The only reason I'm doing this, explained Sterling, is to bring you to your senses. I'm only trying to get you back in circulation, where you should be. There's no sense in wasting your talent as you've been doing. Well, I'll leave you now to your thoughts. I'll be seeing you and your story in a week. If Ferdinand Holden had once been decided to abandon his career as an author, he evidently relinquished such a frivolous idea, for, when his friend Sterling called on him at the appointed time, he resignedly tossed a packet of pages upon a nearby table with the highly pleasing announcement, Well, there it is! George, with an expression of ecstatic delight, descended like a vulture upon the neatly arranged papers, across the outside of which was written, The Vacant Chamber but before his grasping talons could clutch them, the author suddenly exclaimed, Stop! Before you touch that story, I want to offer you a little pro- position. The vulture recoiled, his prey still intact, and the master of the situation stipu- lated, I'll give you your choice, Sterling, and you'll have to render your decision immediately. You may take the story if you like, but if you do, you may consider our friendship closed. Perhaps the acquisition of a petty story means more to you. If so, that no more than meets with my expectation. Furthermore, if I'd not al- ways considered you one of my best friends, I'd not even grant you this opportunity of reconciliation. But if now you are quite willing to go without this story and sell me back my old one, I'll call it square-Otherwise we're friends no more. VVhich alternative do you choose? Why-why, you astound me, Holden , gasped Sterling, I didn't think you'd take it this way. It was all a sort of joke, you know. Yes, perhaps, but I didn't enjoy it. Are you quite willing to do as I have asked, and give up the idea of publishing this story ? But what would be the sense of that? If you'd said what you just did before you'd written the story, I'd have ceased trying to force you, even though it did mean losing my job. But, it's written now! What's the use of throwing it away? You would only have been wasting your time if the story is not published now. George was squirming desperately, but his resolute adversary insisted, Answer my question! Now, be reasonable, for goodness' sake, Holden. It might as well be published now. Do you choose to give up the story or my friendship? Wh-why, if you put it that way, I suppose I'll have to give up the story. But you're foolish to demand such a thing. Why, no doubt this is the best thing Page Fifly-lbrec THE FORVM you've ever written, George asserted, perfunctorily opening the packet containing the Vacant Chamber and starting incredulously at the utterly blank pages which were disclosed. I quite agree with you, returned the literary marvel. Hkvkfk However, if George had been determined to sacrifice his own welfare and to exert his influence in preventing the publication of Nocturnal Knocks , he was destined to be sadly disillusioned. Mr. Kensington, kind and sympathetic old soul that he was, informed George very benignly that he would have to expend his efforts elsewhere, whereas the Literary Indigestion would hire someone who would accomplish something. Furthermore since the chief editor realized full well that the forthcoming issue was to be an utter flop, Cto employ the expression of the fargot American used by the editor, himself, though it pains us to repeat itj, he had decided that it would do no especial harm to print that unspeakable piece of literature, since by doing so he had a very effective means of wreaking retaliation on the delinquants. Only too late did George Sterling comprehend the dire potentialities of his subtle scheme. Only too late did he realize the tremendous disgrace he must force upon his dearest associate, and he spent the next few days in the dire depths of dark despair. He had violated the sacred bond of an oath, for though he had at- tempted to prevent the publication of the story, the grim, undeniable evidence of Holden's former literary mediocrity had been disclosed to the public, and what was that he had heard about the comparative value of effort and accomplishments? George took every precaution against coming into contact with Holden, fearing the consequences of such an encounter, but. after all, it is a small world, and it is almost impossible to avoid meeting the one person you deem it strategic to evade. A few days after the obnoxious July issue of the Literary Indigestionu had been put into circulation, our tremulous hero was honored by a visit from the illustrious Ferdinand Holden, himself. In spite of his premonition that a climatic scene was nigh, George exclaimed lightly, Of all men else, I have avoided thee, Mac Duff ! To Sterling's immense surprise, however, the renowned author was in a far different state of mind than might have been expected. Where George would have looked for Gloom, Despair and a few of the other companions to Melancholy, he saw a delectable expression of joy and elation. Say, that was indeed a clever trick of yours, George, whether you know it or not, complimented Holden, his countenance wreathed in a grateful smile. VVh-why, what do you mean ? stammered George, dumbfounded. Just this. Look! Here's a letter I'd like to show you, and it's practically a sample copy of hundreds of others that I've just received. I don't think I ever wrote a story that won as much acclaim as 'Nocturnal Knocks'. I'm literally flood- ed with letters and telegramsf' I don't understand, persisted George. Here, listen to this letter, ordered the other. Pagr fifty-four THE FORVM 'My Dear Mr. Holden: 'I wish to congratulate you on your latest story. It is highly worthy of commendation, I should say. To employ the vernacular where proper English is inadequate, it's a scream! I had always known you were a remarkably original author, but I never realized that you were a master of parody as well. I could just imagine some new, inexperienced author handling a plot in the way you did in that story. You certainly rendered a praise-worthy imita- tion of the green rawness of a would-be author. It struck me as quite strange that the story wasn't announced as a parody, but perhaps that was done to increase the sublety of the whole affair. I certainly had to acknowledge, as the editor of the Bore 'em that the Literary Indigestion, which hasn't been so good of late, had made one of their old-time famous scoops. It would be just their luck to print the first of what you no doubt intend to be a series of parodies on the flood of youthful endeavors now on the market. And so, in closing, I must congratulate you again, and I assure you that I'll be eagerly awaiting the appearance of your next parody. Very truly yours, J. E. BORING, Of the Bore 'em Board And, concluded the proud author, I have received hundreds of other letters from readers who say practically the same thing. I thought that I would be ruined by the appearance of that story, but it seems my reputation is even greater now. Parody, indeed l Well, George smiled for the first time in weeks. I don't know what to say ! It's encouraging, too, to know how much your public adheres to you. The idea of writing parodies never occurred to me before but it would be quite amusing to write them I'm sure. Well, now I'm going to forget about abandoning my literary career. I'll follow Mr. Boring's suggestion-although I don't suppose you'd call it a suggestion, since he didn't intend it as such-and I'll write a series. You may announce to Kensington that I'll write one for every issue from now on, and to get you back in the man's good graces, you may inform him that I'll submit them only thru you. Why, I don't know how to thank you l gasped George. Oh, don't worry about that. I should really be angry with Kensington for trying to play such a dirty trick on me, but, after all, it isn't what one tries to do that counts, it's what one actually accomplishes l Grr-r-r replied George.

And as the last of his grievances, the Boss had asked him to go to this Fancy Dress Ball that one of the 400 was giving, and then write up in the next day's paper the list of Among Those Present, and how society behaved itself. jim wondered irately why the rain had to get your ears wet and run into your vest pockets, and, as he turned into the yard at the correct brownstone house which proclaimed to the world that boarders and tourists would be accommodated there, he could not resist a kick at one of the bronze lions which guarded the steps, and by the time he reached his room he was in a most dismal frame of mind. Well, well, well l drawled a voice, coming from the depths of a big armchair. And what has happened to my buddy? Did all the family die or did you lose the family fortunes? Oh, worse, Bruce. I've been sent to that party tonight. jim sank into the only other chair and dismally lit a cigarette. Oh, cheer up--I've got to go too, said his pal cheerfully. Isn't it a pity we don't both work on the same paper? We've had more fun at the office today. They've got in a new kid. Great big eyes-he looks starved to death. The Boss took pity on him and he is sending him to this party tonight. Called me in tonight after the kid left and asked me if I'd just as soon go and keep tabs on him. jim did not vouchsafe to reply, but finally moved over to the dresser which they shared, and proceeded to ransack every drawer for his studs. Having gone through every drawer systematically, the missing objects failed to appear, but he did find a photo. He pulled it out into the light and gazed at it angrily. Then he proceeded to tear it up into little pieces, so that the appealing, heart shaped face, with its dimples and cupid's bow, could never be put together again. Bruce watched the process interestedly. What did you do that for? he asked. Sonny, take some advice from me. Never have anything to do with women. I have positively no use for 'em. They're just a bunch of painted, gum-chewing. brainless dolls. Or else they're intelligent and sophisticated and bored. Either kind are absolutely heartless. jim began a half-hearted search for the studs. Oh, don't be a synic because one girl threw you over. I'm going to marry my girl just as soon as I get a raise-that is, he added doubtfully, 'Til ask her. Do as you like-but not for me! Bruce laughed and got up. What's the odds that you meet your fate tonight? His friend did not trouble to reply, but finally, loud, energetic splashings and a not-too-tuneful version of Singing in the Bathtubn told Bruce that jim had ap- parently forgotten his troubles. Ten-thirty saw Jim at the ball, attired soberly enough in evening clothes, and wearing that down-in-the-mouth expression of a man who knows he is going to be bored. He remained aloof from the laughing, carefree dancers, picturesque and gay in their costumes. With the trained eye of the newspaper man, he watched every detail, tho' for the life of him he couldn't see why this bunch of jazz-maniacs should be front page stuff. Finally he grew disgusted, and wishing a breath of clean, cool air, he slipped through one of the long, open windows to the terrace. Page Fifty-six THIS FORVM Even a newspaper man can be susceptible to beauty, and now he could not restrain a whistle of appreciation, as his gaze traveled over the lawn, and the trees glistening with the recent rain, which were casting entrancing lights and shadows over the velvety lawn. He walked noiselessly along the terrace to the garden, and following a path which turned sharply, suddenly stopped and just in time suppressed an ejaculation of surprise. For he found himself gazing at a girl. A girl in a Japanese gown, standing beside a pool. And she was totally unaware of his presence. Oh-I beg your pardon. I- he stammered helplessly. She turned quickly, and jim found himself gazing into startled dark eyes, partly concealed by a mask, and the loveliest face he had ever seen. Her mouth was ador- able, and her smile entrancing. Oh-, I didn't know anyone else was here. Why, what are you staring at? the girl's voice brought Jim back to earth. I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. But do you know-has any one ever told you that you are beautiful ? Why, really! This is most unusual, she faltered, and then, rapidly regaining her composure, added. Are you in the habit of walking up to perfectly strange girls and proposing to them?'.' By no means abashed, Jim said, Oh, that's right. We haven't been introduced, have we? I'm James Percivel Weatherby, and you--you are- She only shook her head. Well, then, you're my Fairy Princess, he finished. And a most adorable one at that. Come, James Percival VVeatherby, let's go and dance, she cried gaily, or else you'll be making me feel like a real Princess l Jim was oblivious to everything, except the throbbing, syncopating music and the tiny, Fairy Princess, who crept into his arms as if she belonged there. Gone was his former distaste for the Ball, and his paper was forgotten. He knew only that he was in love-madly, desperately in love--with a girl he didn't even know! An hour elapsed, and finally the orchestra came to an abrupt haltg there was dead silence for a moment, and then a voice cried, Unmask l With a startled cry she suddenly slipped out of his arms, evaded his grasp, and lost herself among the couples on the floor, who were laughing and screaming as the masks came off. jim, clumsily following her, reached the hall just in time to see her disappear around a bend in the corridor. He dashed madly after her, but she had disappeared as completely as tho' she had dissolved into thin air. He re- traced his steps to the ballroom, somewhat ruefully, and as he was passing a room, a merry peal of laughter reached his ears. His heart leapt. He had found her, the little villianl He reached the knob of the door, but he never turned it. The voice was saying,- and I thought he was surely going to catch me-when the leader shouted 'unmask !' And you promise never to tell him ? I'll promise anything! said Bruce's voice. Kid, you may be new at the of- fice, but you're going to be promoted, or my- name will be mud. Boy, you surely were one good Japanese Princess. Page Fiffy-sewn T H E F O R V M THE MAGIC SPRING OF MO-WEN Mary H anagan, '31 The beautiful Indian maiden, Juanita, strolled along the shore of the Mo-VV'en River revelling in the stillness of the world about herg the thick green forest beside her was silent, the sky, above, was a clear acquamarine blue and nothing about her seemed to stir. She stood for a moment drinking in the wonderful Indian spring air. On a blanket of soft velvety moss she knelt to drink from fragrant, bubble- ing spring known as the Magic Spring of Mo-Wen. This spring was visited by many Indians in search of happiness as it was supposed to cast a magic spell over all who visited it. Even the air about it seemed haunted with happiness. She paused for a minute for revealed in the spring was a tiny miniature of a beautiful Indian maiden. A long black braid hung down on each side of her head, beautifully shaped lips, accented eyebrows and dark eyes, surrounded with fringes of lashes. which seemed to hold the unconscious little maiden in a trance. Surely, those could not be her eyes? Already refreshed from the Magic Spring, she made her way back to the noisy but happy Indian village. Many wigwarns were gathered in a circle and in the center was a fire about which were gathered many Indian men, squaws and maidens decked in the usual Indian costumes adorned with brightly colored beads and feathers. Dusk was beginning to drape gently the Indian village of M 0-Wen beside the soft flowing river, as Juanita entered. She glanced at the' group about the fire and with smiling eyes she caught the gleaming eyes of the Indian chiefis son, Suma Maya and walked into a Wigwam beside the river and entered it by means of lifting a flap. Ah, dear daughter, where have you been? asked her anxious father, one of the great hunting chiefs of the Wigwam village. With a big laughing sigh, she answered with girlish enthusiasm, For the best walk in the world Hunting Father, to Magic Spring. While I was drinking I noticed my face and it doesn't seem possible that it was mine. I suppose the spring was working some more of its wonderful magic. You are a very beautiful, Indian daughter of mine, and your happy Hunting Father is very proud of his pretty little maiden. His pride for Juanita was very noticeable as he spoke with beaming eyes. Good night, Hunting Father, as she spoke she gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek. He departed from the wigwam to join the group about the fire, who were chanting old Indian folksongs, before retiring. Juanita stood looking down on her slender figure and felt her soft cool face. Could it be possible she was as pretty as her father said? No, for there was Alomo, the most beautiful Indian maiden in the village of Mo-Wen, whom Suma Maya liked, for did he not go for walks with her too, to the Magic Spring. She lay on her blanket in the wigwam, her eyes shut but she was not asleep. There he is! she suddenly exclaimed aloud as a soft crooning Indian lad's voice reached her from outside the wigwam. Page Fifty-eight THE FORVM Suma Maya was singing: When Fm calling you- The beautiful refrain of the Indian Love Call. As Juanita lay listening she began to wonder if he sang that to Alomo. Was she jealous of her? No, but she must prove Suma's love for herself. The last strains of the song were floating away as the crowd about the fire dispersed in gay spirits. Soon all was quiet and the moon looking down peacefully smiled. God above knew all was well. Hkvklk Every hour of daylight Is with gladness blest, But to me the twilight- Rest--time is the best. The sun came pouring in the door of the little Wigwam beside the river and gently played over Juanita's face, With a vigorous yawn and much stretching she arose, dressed and went to the side of the river to bathe her face in the cool water chanting unconsciously, the Indian Love Call. What a wonderful day for a canoe ride l she exclaimed. The river is so calm, no one will miss me if I go now, she thought aloud. She got her father's canoe and was drifting away just as the Indian village began to stir in the wake of the morning. She, utterly unconscious of being watched, gloried in the morning air as she drifted down the river, nor did she know that back on the river another canoe was following her. She gazed, with interest, about the banks of the river and saw the little violets peeping forth in the sun, the trees lifting their arms to God and heard the chant of the early morning birds. About two miles from the village were the rapids of the river but Juanita seemed so wrapped up in the pleasant atmosphere about her that she did not notice the change in the current until it was too late. Gallantly she tried to paddle for the shore. The current was so strong that it was no use in trying. All this time the canoe that was following her, mastered by a strong hand, was gradually catching up to her. A few hundred yards from the canoe Juanita saw the rapids hurtling down out of sight. Her ears roared with the resounding of the water dashing against the rocks below. Her hands relaxed from their grip on the paddles and she slipped forward in the canoe and as Juanita fainted, a firm hand grabbed the canoe. She came too just outside the village of Mo-Wen. Apparently mumbling to herself she asked, VV hat is that I hear? The bubbling of the Magic Spring. How cool my brow feels and is that Suma Maya kneeling beside me ? Page Fifly-nina THE FORVM Oh, Suma, she called now fully conscious, what has happened? Where did you come from ? In a few words he told her what happened since she fainted: The water was not deep near the rapids so I let my canoe go over and lifted you from yours and battled the current to the river bank. I carried you here to the Magic Spring for I knew the magic water would wake you. Oh, Suma darling, how can I ever repay you? she asked looking at him with her earnest eyes. Ah, Nita, there is but one thing. Don't you know why I followed you? Have- n't you realized for a long time that you mean more to me-, before he could finish the sentence Juanita was in his arms. an ar Ir Hand in hand they entered the happy village of Mo-Wen and were greeted by Juanita's happy, but anxious father to whom they told the news. He beamed with pride upon the happy couple. As they went on he chuckled to himself, Some more of the happy magic is cast. That night the village was up late about the fire dancing, singing and making merry about the happy couple. They were to be married next morning at sunrise. Before Suma Maya left her that night she said, Let us be married by the Magic Spring! For isn't that where we really found each other ? Next morning the Magic Spring was sparkling and gurgling with great vivacity for, again, it had cast its magic spell of happiness. ANDY Anne Ellis, '31 A long, powerful roadster came to a sudden halt accompanied by an uncanny screeching of brakes. From behind the steering gear slid a tall, slender, red haired young man patiently wiping the dust from his eyes. In the course of time he obtained a clear, unimpaired vision of the immense mansion before which he had stopped. Involuntarily a shrill whistle of admiration and surprise burst from his lips. Why, he was not looking at a house. Before him stood a palace! No one could escape seeing those white, stately marble pillars which gracefully supported the monster. Power, lust, greed, and vanity protruded everywhere. Yet a sort of haze seemed to surround the building itself. The last rays of a fast dying sun played here and there casting grotesque figures and shadows. A little hesitatingly the young man advanced slowly up the front steps rapidly reviewing the strange events leading up to his arrival. Andy Rath was a very new employee of the Daily Sun of Tuczon, Arizona. Anxious to make good in the newspaper game, he exerted his best efforts in ferret- ing out events and making himself useful in various ways, One morning in parti- cular he had been in having a confidential chat with his editor, when, as unexpected- ly as a bomb explosion, another reporter had burst in. Words tumbled out of his mouth. Page Sixfy THE FORVM Say, chief, you remember the curiosity that was stimulated when news was received of that house being erected out in the desert about two hundred miles from here? 'XY ell, that was practically three years ago. Now, the word has just come in that Francias Seaman, the great European steel magnate, has just establish- ed himself there. A chance like this cannot be neglected. A man must be sent at once to obtain an interviewf' The chief had acted. Reporter after reporter had been sent out in vain to obtain the much coveted interview. No one as yet had been able to effect an entrance to what was fast being termed Mystery Mansion. To all appearances the place seemed uninhabited. After each rebuff, the newspaper staff grew all the more determin- ed. But failure stared them in the face. At last came the fatal day when Andy, the youngest reporter of all, was detailed to force that interview. The young man had been very reluctant to go as he considered that it would be precious time wasted. At the time he was working on another case, one which gave promise of high results. A raise in salary was the prevalent stumbling block which kept Andy from marrying a certain clever, sparkling brunette who constantly occupied his thoughts. Yet without some good work he couldn't expect a raise. No wonder he felt blue when ordered on a wild goose chase. Not deeming it wise, however, to antagonize his chief he had accepted with good grace and before sunrise had begun the trip which resulted in the strangest adventures of his life. So now at sun- down we meet young Andy once more ascending the huge steps of the erstwhile palace. Repeatedly he rang the small, queer shaped doorbell. Peal after peal echoed through the house like the low growl of thunder. Fuming and fretting Andy stood impatiently waiting in vain for some response. At last, unable to stand it any longer, he slammed against the door with all his might and felt himself fall head- long into an unearthly dark, dreary hall. Strange, he muttered, I never expected the door to be unlocked. Wonder where a light is. Groping around for several seconds his hand at length came in contact with a small push button. Andy pressed it and saw ..... .. Great beads of sweat stood out on his forehead. Vilas he mad? At the minute the huge light sprang to life the somber, pitch dark hall blossomed into a scene of beauty, magnificence, and splendor. Everywhere were costly relics, curios from all parts of the world, gorgeous jewels. Andy gasped with sheer amazement. Never had he seen such loveliness, such radiance! The hall itself seemed alive with glory. Rich tapestries covered the floor and a huge clock, studded with diamonds, ticked ponderously away. Anxious for a view of something rational Andy staggered to the door and attempted to fling it open. The door would not budge! Finally glimmers of common sense penetrated Andy's dazed mind. His news- paper instinct returned with full force. Why, here was something worth writing about. Out came the pad. For a time nothing was heard but the intermittent scratching of Andy's pencil. A soft. stealthy footstep sounded in an adjacent room. Andy raised his eyes Page Sixty-one ff ,ff 5 .1 ,x ' .- x .V THE FORVM and there standing in the door was six feet of splendid manhood. A young fellow he was, not more than nineteen. Of a rather reserved, silent manner he instantly commanded attention and to a small extent, respect. Andy took an instant liking to his dark complexion and finely molded features. Tension was snapped by a wide grin appearing on Andy's freckled face. How do you do, he said, Pardon me for taking such a liberty with your home. I'm Andy Rath from the Daily Sun at Tuczon. If you are Mr. Francis Seaman, I will request the honor of an interview with you. The face of the stranger lit up in reply, I presume you are looking for my father. I'm just Jack Seaman, at your service. I'm afraid you will have to wait for quite a while. You see, my father has been ill for the last few days and even I haven't seen him. Mother and he had planned to go motoring yesterday and so with the doctor's permission, father went. They are expected back some time this evening. I wish you would stay. I like company. Strange as it may seem to you, here his face clouded, my father doesn't like me and allows me to know no one. Impulsively Andy held out his hand. Sure, I'll stay. Come with me then. Arm in arm. the two new friends sauntered into an immense living room, even more splendid than the hall. Andy held his breath waiting for some explanation of all this. However, none came. His companion seemed to be sunk into a state of lethargy and once more a strange, supernatural atmosphere surrounded him. Uncanny, he thought to himself. Sit down and I will go see if dinner is served, broke in jack. Silently. he disappeared from the room. Noise seemed to be absent from any part of this place. Reverently Andy eyed his costly surroundings mentally taking note of each separate article. A hot wave of indignation swept over him. It sure was unfair for some people to have so much and he nothing. A cat-like tread resounded outside of the door. An instant later jack's familiar outline was revealed. His face was extremely haggard and drawn but he volunteer- ed no information. Merely, Follow me. Dinner is ready. During the ensuing half hour Andy learned a number of details concerning jack's life. The young man had just returned from a famous school in England where he had been since he was ten years old. His mother was dead and since his stepmother hated him his father had been forced to send him to this school. He had not even known what his parent and stepmother looked like until several weeks before when they met him on his homecoming. Andy's trained mind detected a hint of mystery somewhere. Such happenings as these were far too preposterous. just then an interruption took place in the form of a servant, the queerest, most hideous looking human being Andy had ever beheld. Of a dwarfish stature, hunch back, and'a cruel, gluttonous cast of countenance, the man was evil personified. Eyes of fiendish cunning glared impudently at Andy and the misshapen mouth was twisted into a horrible grin, distorting his whole face. After him appeared two people whom Andy correctly judged to be Mr. and Mrs. Seaman. Here also Page Sikly-Ibm' THE FORVM another unpleasant surprise awaited him. In place of the refined, gentle pair he had hoped to see, there were a man and woman whose cruelty, slyness, and shrewd- ness were so apparent that it dimmed the fiery glow of the handsome room. Every- thing took on a loathsome aspect of dreariness and evil spirits seemed to be abroad. A creepy sensation possessed Andy and he unashamedly confessed to himself that he was afraid. A recurring sense of familiarity, however, haunted the young man. Had he seen this precious pair before? There was a profound silence, yet Andy knew glances of undiguised hostility were being levelled at him. Happening to glance at Jack he saw the boy's face was painfully red and this Andy shrewdly surmised was due to shame and anger. Haltingly, he made introductions and shortly afterwards, amid a stillness of pro- found enmity, the group swept back into the living room. Here they sat saying nothing. An eery atmosphere hovered everywhere. Andy could almost see black shadows sneaking up around him. Apparently he was not the only one ill at ease for Mr. and Mrs. Seaman acted nervous and fidgety. Bang! The door bell pealed as loud as a pistol shot. Andy's whole body jerk- ed as he grew tense with caution. A crafty look flitted for an instant over Mr. Seaman's face. Alertly he arose and stalked toward the door, his whole countenance now a complete blank. Suddenly a warning sound buzzed in Andy's ear. He turned and there behind him with a leveled revolver stood Mr. Seaman! f'Don't move until I see who's at the door ! the deadly voice admonished, calmly, coldly. Strange to say, Andy never felt his faculties more keenly alert than at this moment. He glanced quickly around and saw that Jack stood speechless, too amazed to move. Andy carelessly dropped his hand in his pocket feeling there a small gun which he usually carried. If only something would distract Mr. Seaman's unerring gaze for an instant. Suddenly, without a second's warning, jack Seaman sprang right at his father. Andy's moment had come. Without an instant's hesitation he jerked out his gun. He would have to act fast to save jacks life. I-Ie pulled the trigger and suddenly heard another noise. He felt a searing pain in his left side and then oblivion! Andy's eyes slowly opened. Memory returned with a rush and jumping up from the couch on which he lay, he glanced quickly around. How are you feeling now, Andy? broke in a familiar boyish voice, A bullet accidentally happened to graze you but you'll be all right. Wanly Andy smiled back, his interest being greatly attracted by the heated con- versation going on between a tall, aristocratic stranger and Mr. and Mrs. Seaman who were in handcuffs surrounded by several forbidding looking policemen. I accuse you of being an impostor and kidnapping my son, Harry Lancey, the stranger was pointing an accusing finger at the prisoner. Snarling, the man replied, And what if I did? You once refused to save me from bankruptcy, didn't you? Oh yes, you thought because I got started up in business again that I had forgotten. But I never forget. Sure, I kidnapped jack and I'm proud of it. Page Sixly-four THE FORVM Everyone was too busy to notice the now busy Andy. And so you were the one who sent me that bogus telegram supposed to be from my aunt announcing the death of my uncle and calling me to London immediately. I see it all now. You wanted to get me out of the way so you could pose as me and meet jack at the station just before we sailed. To think that you would turn traitor to me, you whom I regarded as a friend. The real Francis Seaman's voice shook with anger. Defiantly the imposter sneered, Why did you tell all of us who were dining at your home one night that Jack was coming and on what train he would arrive? You shouldn't have been so conceited that you had to brag about your wonderful home and its costly articles. But, he questioned darkly, how did you know Jack was here? VVhy, he sent a postal card to one of his friends back in school. Didn't you know that? The school at once communicated with me. All eyes were turned on the blushing jack who had practically forgotten the incident. Don't praise me, praise Andy here, stoutly maintained the young man. If he hadn't shot this thief in his right arm he might have been able to escape. Attention was thus called to Andy upon whom they gazed in undisguised aston- ishment. The young man was just finishing what appeared to be a lengthy manu- script and a low chuckle of satisfaction escaped him. Ah l he exclaimed happily, what a scoop this will make for my paper. That means a raise and then- No longer were Andy's thoughts on his paper and he was entirely unconscious of the people around him. He looked up and his eyes seemed to be fixed on some one in the distance. The vision of a merry, black eyed girl appeared before him and he at last realized that his fondest dream was coming true. Hkvkwk ROMANCE Rutlzca J. Ablcarian, '31 XYilliam VVetherby sat in morbid dejection upon the side of his un-slept-in cor. His luxuriant, brown curls were rumpled poetically over his brow, and a wild light gleamed in his usually gentle blue eyes. Gwendolyn! he murmured bitterly. Gwendolyn, how could you! With disillusioned eyes he gazed at the two photographs in his hands, one displaying a handsome set- of teeth, the other with mouth pensively pursed and one eyelid lowered. Both were labeled largely, Gwendolyn, Bill prolonged his horrible agony a moment longer, then there was a tearing sound, and the two Gwendolyns, neatly halved, lay in the waste basket. With head bowed. Fate's victim dismantled the walls, which were chiefly covered with likenesses of Gwendolyn, in both toothy and pensive poses. His task accomplished, and the waste supply noticeably increased, William gave himself up to funereal thoughts. Page Sixiy-five THE FORVM Hey, Bill, here's a whole flock of special delivery letters for you, and break- fast goes on in ten minutes-what's the matter? Well, for cryin' tears! Your girl turn you down again P Bill turned savagely upon his roommate. Will you kindly-Whoops! Pan- cakes for breakfast? he finished, his nose crinkling ecstatically as he absently opened his letters. Holy Mackerel! He's got it, whispered Bill in an awed voice, looking up from the scrawled page. Got what, the itch ? brightly queried the erring comrade, meticulously parting his hair before the chiffonier mirror. No, this is worse. Harold, my brother, the big bully who used to beat me up in my infancy. Oh, well, he's got his now-but just the same--Oh, why did I ever speak crossly to you, Harold? And now, it is too late- The roommate grew pale. It's not-he isn't-dead? Gee, old man- No, replied Bill thickly, he's engaged-to the most gorgeously divine crea- ture on this or any other planet. Adjectives cannot describe her pure beauty, her daintiness, and so forth. Anyhow, I've got to go home and give my approval, or the old egg won't die happy. 41101201 Bill slowly pressed his foot down on the accelerator, as the smooth road rolled up to meet him. A gypsy breeze stirred his curls, now neatly combed in place. The sky was a blue awning, stretching down to meet the calm Pacific. The world was indeed a beautiful place, and he had not been called upon in math that morning. The dreamer's deep peace was rudely interrupted by a shrill scream. As he stepped on the break he became cognizant of the fact that a smart red roadster had halted beside the road, and in this a man and a girl were struggling. Even as he watched, amazed, the car door burst open, and the feminine warrior was flung out upon the grassy roadside. Jarred into action, Bill leaped over his lowered windshield and reached the running board of the little red car as it lurched forward. With a quick movement he hauled the squirming, clawing individual from the driver's seat, and after a well-aimed blow deposited him beside the road. Then he bent over the girl, who lay gasping for breath on the grass. His first quick look turned into a round-eyed stare. A halo of coppery-brown curls surrounded her piquant little face. Pale, but with rose-flushed cheeks, and an adorably curved mouth, she opened her starry gray eyes, and Bill was drowned in their depths. As he lifted her to her feet he held her in his arms for a moment. Like a feather she was, to arms that had rowed a university to victory. And then she spoke. Oh, how can I ever thank you ? she asked. But Bill heard her through a haze. The blood was pounding in his ears, and he was saying to himself her eyes-her eyes. Beautiful poems, suddenly full of new meaning, were rushing turbulently through his brain, and her voice, as it rippled on, was like crystal water bubbling over pebbles. Page Sixty-six THE FORVM Oh, gosh ! muttered Bill dazedly, I must be in love. After they had driven the red roadster to the nearest garage, the girl with the eyes rode into town with Bill. And what was wrong with Bill, the ladies' man, so adept at wise-cracking and compliments? He sat strangely tongue-tied, still telling himself about her eyes. What's your name? queried the girl at length, in such a shy, little-girl manner that Bill at once felt himself a worldly he-man. William W. Wetherby's the name. Sorry I haven't my cardcase, but here's my hand. The girl grasped it with a nice, white hand. And what are you doing in this God-forsaken place, where croo-el villians try to make pretty little girls come across with Reo roadsters? Bill slouched dejectedly behind the wheel. I'm on my way home to see the 'most gorgeously divine creature on this or any other planet. Adjectives cannot describe her pure beauty and daintiness, he chanted, from memory. Wh-what P Oh, my brother's in love. Imagine loving a girl named Lizzie,-Lizzie Ford at that. VV hy, I bet she's a regular old Model T, with a bolt loose in her engine. The girl laughed understandingly. Yes, it must be terrible to lose such a brother as-as a brother of yours must be. Bill looked into her eyes again, and felt a revolving motion in his head. What did you say the name was? he asked, merely for the sake of saying something. fOne couldn't just sit there like a log and think about eyes.j Beth, enunciated the silvery voice distinctly. Short for Elizabeth. 'Beth,' repeated Bill hazily. Gee, what a pretty name l As he felt his ears grow red under her warm gaze, he lapsed into uncomfortable silence once more. Well, Billy. here's my stop-and can I ever thank you for what you have done? That old tramp! Imagine him turning on me like that, after I was kind enough to give him a lift. A Gee, Beth, there is one little favor you could render me. Bill was regaining his speech in the pain of parting. What is this little favor, Bill? What do you say to a dinner next week, and a trip to all the low dives of the city ? All right by me, laddie. Now I've simply got to rush. Thanks loads! But Beth-how can we arrange- Never you mind the hows and wheres-you'll see pretty soon. VVith mouth and eyes wide open Bill sat and gazed after her slim little figure, topped by the gleaming aureole that shone gold in the setting sun. A policeman pausing suspiciously on his beat heard him murmuring vaguely, Her eyes- her eyes- Reaching his domicile, Bill received scant attention, which fact Bill regarded in the light of a blessing. The house was in a subdued uproar over the approaching hour when Harold was to bring his fiancee to meet the family. Bill took no share Page Sixly-seven THE FORVM in the excitement. He sat in the dusky living room, his vivid imagination conjur- ing up the scenes of the afternoon. But now Beth wore a flowing gown of tur- quoise blue velvet, and he bestrode a snowy Pegasus. After he had conquered the cruel villian, Beth came toward him with the glory of her hair reflected on her face. Oh, Bill, she cried, in her lovely voice, Bill, darling! With a start Bill sat up and and shook his head, but 'the vision persisted. With arms outstretched, Beth was tripping across the red and green living room carpet. This was no dream! Of course, I knew as soon as you told your name, but I thought it would be such a nice surprise for tonight. You're going to be my own brother, aren't you, Bill? Ghastly reality! Bill did not need Harold's proud This is my little girl to tell him the truth. He turned abruptly and fled to the haven of the cool side porch. Beth's gay voice babbled on. A lovely voice? She sounded like a parrot! And what made starry gray eyes? just a lack of pigment! Women, growled, Bill, forlornly. 'Tm through with women! THE COLDMGRE MASCOT Leslie Gunlzy, '31 The roar of the crew's sixty thousand voices was lost to the ears of Poochy Davison and the eight other men to whom he cried continually with an ever quick- ening call as the slim shell drew near the end of the grueling four miles. Seven other shells of the same unity and grace of line might have been counted beside this particular one. Five races had been entered by Coldmore's crew preceding this fatal one and five had been won. This year Coldmore was aiming to have her shell win the sectional meet and then journey eastward to be a newcomer in that great annual race sensation on the Hudson River. Bad luck now seemed to drive out every hope. While doing some repair work on the proverbial dormitory flivver, which was used by everyone and had been donated by a lucky fellow who had received a Buick on his birthday, Buck Hamillson, stroke on Coldm0re's varsity, had strained his back and had been forbidden to do any more crew work that year. Poochy Davison, therefore, had a good reason to be deaf to the mighty crowd's cheers for in front of him at the important position of stroke sat a rookie from the freshman squad. Poochy was having a hard time with his crew who had been greatly disheartened by Hamillson's injury. Poochy Davison was a true coxswain, a nervous little fellow of 112 pounds with dynamic energy, a loud voice and lashing tongue, a ready and flashing smile, a pleasing personality, a sense of wit and a character judge and mind reader. It was his third year as coxswain on Coldmore's crew and for two of the three years Coldmore had not won a race. At the beginning of the 1929 season, prospects for the crew had been pleasant, once more only to be broken up by the antics of an old third hand college flivver. After crew practice one evening just five weeks and three days before Cold- Pagc Sixty-eight THE FORVM more's varsity, which practiced in a sheltered bay on the Pacific coast in Oregon, would start its five day trip to the famous Hudson regatta, Poochy Davison was walking moodily along the beach about a mile from the Coldmore dormitories in Marshfield thinking over Coldmore's chances for winning on the Hudson as he had been continually doing since Hamillson had been injured. He glanced with a despairing countenance out over those ever-cheerful and friendly wares where the varsity had so often praticed, and saw a figure in a dory apparently pulling in a line from the bay waters from which he occasionally flipped a gleaming fish into the boat. As he always did in these days of anxiety, Poochy looked the stranger over for possible crew qualities and happily found them abun- dant. broad shoulders which gave an impression of strength, narrow hips and perfect balance in the dangerously rocking small boat. Then he remembered that johnny Morrison, his roommate and boon companion had spoken that morning of a student at Coldmore, from Vancouver, who was trying to work his way through college by fishing in the bay. At the time Poochy had remarked that the fellow certainly had nerve to try such a novel, though none the less practical thing. Now, however, he was anxious to meet this giant who was now rowing with perfect and free strokes toward the tiny dots of lighted windows which were in the university buildings. The following day, Poochy cut his morning classes and found the young fisherman's record in the registry office. He learned that the student from Van- couver was named Horace Stone and was elegible for any sport with his high marks in a difficult engineering course. He hunted Stone out that noon and accosted him with some unconsequential chatter, finally making an appointment with him for that evening. After dinner that night five weeks and three days before the final, great race, Poochy literally found Horace Stone. who proved himself to be a far greater stroke than Hamillson had ever been. Coldmore quickly turned from a doubtful candidate for the Hudson regatta to a decided Black Horse from the West, simultaneously with Stone's first appearance in the varsity crew. After that Poochy had little trouble in getting the best out of his crew for they were confident in Stone and themselves but were constantly warned by Coach Huntington of the necessity of steady and hard training. Coach Huntington had given eighteen years of his life developing Coldmore's crews and now nearly an old man he could see a possibility of the answer to his dreams. A victory on the mighty Hudson! Once again that old trickster Luck turned against the Coldmore crew and Stone, the star of the sporting world for the past five weeks was calle His mother had become seriously ill and Stone had returned to Vancouver as he had done once before during the school year. No one at school began to worry until two days before the crew was to leave for VVest Point, but then telegrams' were sent to Stone and everyone was praying for his return. Stone did not return and the crew men, who had learned to depend upon his leadership, were disheartened. Before they left for the East the crew knew that he would not set the pace on the Hudson and they thought all was lost. vklklk d home. Pugc' Sixty-nine THE FORVM The Coldmore eight had just returned from its trial spurt which preceeded the big varsity race. No one word had been received from Stone and a second string man Johnny Wells was taking his place, determined to give all he had to give. The eight crews lined up, under the observation of the official boat and each crew was ready simultaneously to dip their oars into the rather choppy water at the sound of the second gun-shot. A sudden roar from Coldmore's small cheering section made all the crews and officials look shoreward. Seven of the crews and all of the officials looked away again when they saw only a seriously bedraggled bum, standing on the projecting dock, frantically waving his arms at them. The Cold- more crew, however, gave a shout of joy, nearly upsetting their graceful little craft, for in that drawn, haggard face and that well-proportioned body they rec- ognized Stone who seemed to have been delivered to them by some unknown power. The race was delayed ten minutes and the Coldmore shell was swiftly rowed over the short distance to shore. Stone carefully climbed into his place but without his usual pep and gave each one of his team mates a tired but full and friendly smile. Once more the eight crews lined up but now one of them was supremely confident in the skill and endurance of their key man and incidentally more confident in themselves. That race of 1929 will never be forgotten by those who saw it. In the first three miles Annapolis led the way, seconded by Washington University, then Army and fourth was Coldmore's eight. Then all of a sudden Stone of Coldmore began to try to regain five lengths. Steadily Coldmore forged ahead past the Army crew, who tried to hold them, past VVashington and were finally bow to bow with Annapolis. They were approaching a wide automobile bridge which was a sinister reminder that only one-quarter of a mile remained of the original four miles. They flashed under the bridge and everyone on shore held his breath only to let it out with a gasp when he saw Coldmore one-half length ahead. Annapolis had given her best in that last minute and now her shell dropped far back to third place leaving Coldmore to cross that final foot of terrific strain a winner by over two lengths. Poochy Davison was a stunned man for he had seen a exhibition of the greatest endurance and self-sacrifice possible in that man who had entered the race breath- less and with every muscle aching. Horace Stone now slid down in his seat swoon- ing from utter exhaustion. No one knew how he had got to West Point nor why he was so tired, until the crew, in its hilarious joy, parading the campus, walked behind the boat house and saw an object which they immediately recognized from long acquaintance, although it was so demolished as to be almost unrecognizable. It was the old dormitory f livver and they suddenly understood that Stone had travel- ed from the Pacific to the Atlantic in less than one hundred hours in an old car which now had three flat tires and a missing fender, they tried to start it but it only gave a mournful wheeze and died out. Solemnly they left it with much thought for it had been the cause of their first disaster but also their friend in need and each one had a. soft place in his heart for the old car. Page Se ucnly TI-IE FORVM Meanwhile Coxswain Davison and Coach Huntington had found that Horace Stone was very ill and in a serious condition resulting from over-exhaustion. He had returned to Coldmore college from his home and finding the crew gone, had taken the flivver and driven to West Point. This prompt action was characteristic of Stone and the result was a marvelous victory for Coldmore but Stone had paid dearly. 4- in 4: Five days later the Coldmore crew left for home. Their hero was with them, a bit wobbly perhaps but happy as any of them over a queer looking crated object- the partly dismantled parts of the faithful old flivver destined to be set up on the campus as a motionless mascot for future victory. IN THE FUTURE Woodrow W. Lucas, '31 The city editor of the New York Transcript was reclining in a most undignified position in his chair. The last edition of the newspaper was on the press and the editor was smoking a cigar, his feet resting on a large desk. At peace with the world, he had taken these few minutes rest from his nerve racking job of getting the editions out on time. ' Suddenly a bell rang on his desk. His secretary announced that Professor Brown wished to see him. Reluctantly the editor consented to the interview and a small elderly gentleman was ushered into his presence. The man looked around the room and seeing no one else present, said: Perhaps you will doubt my words and ridicule me when I tell you I have in- vented a 'time machine' by which I may carry myself forward in time five hundred to a thousand years. Learned scientists have agreed that such a machine was pos- sible but no one had perfected one. For the last fifteen years, from 1934 till last year, I had been at work trying to invent such a machine. At last I have succeeded. What! exclaimed the editor, You mean to tell me that you have invented a machine by which you may advance in time and see what state the world is in one thousand years from now? How do you know that your machine is a success? That is exactly what I came to you about, replied the professor. I have taken a trip in the machine already and have seen the world as it will be in the year 255O. ff in nk Here started the most weird story ever told to mortal ears, and as you read it, you shall exclaim, as did the editor, at such a tale. You shall probably doubt the veracity of the story as did the city editor, but you shall be more than convinced of the truthfulness when the professor shows .... 5 but let's not go ahead of the story, but let's hear what the professor had to say in his own words. ar :k 4- It was last September, he began, when I finally decided to take the trip. My machine was ready and the batteries charged with a new fluid I had invented. So, on the twenty-first day of September, 1949, I entered the machine at dusk, Page Seucnly-one THE FORVM MALE QU.-XRTETTE Puiqm' Svrwlly-l1c'o CHICAGO GROUP THE FORVM and pulled the starting lever. There was a blinding crash and then everything went black. I don't know how long I was unconscious, but I finally revived. I know now that I was in a state of suspended animation, due to the action of certain light rays, while I was in the machine. VVhen I revived I found myself on an odd- shaped building, constructed thru-out of some unknown metal. I looked about me and found that metal creatures, having only one eye in the middle of their heads. were surrounding me. Needless to say, I was somewhat perturbed. All at once a voice addressed me. I did not at first understand the language but I soon began to comprehend it. This language was a curious combination of French, English, German and some Latin. The voice, I discovered, came from the chest of a metal man, Cwho looked somewhat like robots, the so-called mechanical men of our time.j This metal man, I concluded, was commanding me to follow him, which I pro- ceeded to do, having no other course to take. XVhile walking along, following these queer men, I heard a noise above me which sounded like escaping steam, and upon looking up, saw a mammoth airship sailing along in the sky. This ship, I later learned, was only one of the two hundred ships in daily trips to Europe and Asia. One thing I noticed was the total absence of any automobiles of our time. All traffic was in the air. Small airships, re- minding me of the 'flivvers' of Mr. Ford, were darting about in the air. There was no sound of roaring gasoline engines as in our time, and I do not know in what manner these ships were propelled. Coming down to earth, as it were, from my trance which settled upon me by my gaze of admiration and wonder, I found myself walking into a building which had on the outside the Latin word, 'Dux'. I concluded that this was some govern- ment building or office of some leader of the people. A metal-man ushered me into the presence of a little man, about four feet tall, with a large forehead and small, bright shining eyes. He was clad in a single piece suit of silvery cloth, and had a helmet on his head. 'VVhat country are you from ?' he asked, in a mixed tongue which I under- stood fairly well because of my knowledge of the aforementioned languages. 'The United States of America, I replied. 'United States, that country went out of existence five hundred years ago when we came down from Mars in our Airockets and conquered the world. How did you happen to remain here? he asked. I explained to him about my 'time machine,' but was careful to avoid details because I wished to have my machine ready for an instant return to 1949. The Martian seemed friendly enough to me, so I was not worried, but I had a peculiar sensation that bode no good for me. Suddenly the Martian turned to a box at his side and turned on a switch. A metallic voice responded and the 'chief', as I came to call him, spoke rapidly into the machine. I did not understand much of his speech but I concluded that he had given some kind of order. Soon two metal-men entered the room. The chief turned to me and said, Page Sc Ven ly-fb rm' THE FORVM 'These are your companions. You shall not suffer any harm but always have these men at your side. They are possessed of intelligence equal to yours. At evening, return to meg I shall have a building given over for your use'. He then turned around and began talking into the machine again. I saw that I was dismissed and was free to look around, so I walked out with my two queer companions. I was anxious to converse with these metal-men so I asked the one on my right what the name of this city was. A metallic voice answered, 'This is the Mars colony x64'. The Martians, it seemed, called these conquered cities, colonies and numbered them. As yet I had not seen many living persons and no female Martians, Being curious I asked a metal-man, 'Where are all the Martian women P' The metal-man answered, 'The Martian women are very beautiful and are never seen on the street like women in former times. Our women are a home- loving race and are far more interested in their work and children than women you are accustomed to. Don't expect to meet any of them during your visit here.' I was surprised at this statement and I was curious to see what these women looked like. I was walking that evening past a large white marble building and as I gazed upward I saw on a balcony, a Martian woman. What a woman! She looked as if she had been transplanted from the old Greecian age. A long flowing robe covered her completely, and her golden hair fell in ringulets over her shoulders. Her face was that of a Greek goddess. Char- acter was molded in her face and she appeared to possess unusual vitality. While the Martian chief had appeared to be learned, yet his body was weak. This woman, in contrast, was tall and strong. The woman turned and smiled at me. Then she entered the building, and dis- appeared from sight. I went slowly back to my room where I was to spend the night. When I got back I asked the metal-man what the white marble building was. The Hall of Martia, he answered, the home of the Martian women. Strangers are never allowed there and the severest penalties are inflicted on those who try to enter.' 'Well,' I thought to myself, 'I might take a chance.' That night I slept soundly, dreaming of the strange adventure I was participat- ing in. The next day, when I awoke, the hrst thing I thought of was this woman I had seen the day before. Gosh, she was beautiful. I thought that I might get a chance to speak to her if I saw her again, so I wandered toward the women's building. My luck was good and my heart accelerated when I saw her looking at me over the balcony. Suddenly, feeling reckless, I ran up a stairway and reached the balcony. I talked with her for a few moments and I learned that her name was Titia. VVhen Pagz' S!'l'l'llfy-filllf i THE FORVM she looked at me I had a funny feeling all over me. Perhaps I was mistaken, but I thought I was in love with her. Soon she said in her silvery voice, 'I must go now. We are not allowed more than one hour's recreation on the balcony. After this we have many duties to per- form in the building. We have to keep fit and strong by taking sunray treatments and various exercises.' I had never been what you might call a Romeo and women had had only a casual glance from me. I had never fallen in love until I met this Martian woman, but when I did, I fell hard! I felt I should tell her about my love and I did. I asked her if I could visit her at her home and she told me that I could if I wanted to run into a lot of danger. She said, 'Enter through that eastern door and go down a corridor on the right to the sixth door, open this and you are in my room'. 'I'll be there this evening, I said, as I left her with a light heart. If I had known what was going to happen that night I would have been just a little bit worried. About sunset I stole out of my room without my queer companions, the metal- men, and went down to the women's quarters. I entered the eastern door and went down the corridor. One, two, three, four. five doors I passed. Then I stopped. Hadn't Titia told me to open the fifth door? I was stumped! NVhat a fool to forget which door it was. But. I entered the fifth door and came face to face with a large woman! '50, you were the stranger we saw on the balcony with Titia! Come with me, your fate is sealed', she said, grabbing me with extraordinary strength and literally dragging me from the room. She took me into a large hall and I was brought up in front of a row of metal-men. All of these queer men had their faces turned toward me. Suddenly one of the metal-men arose and spoke. 'You have destroyed the trust that we have put in you. You knew it was wrong to enter the building, and moreover to make love to one of our women. Ordinarily, the penalty is death. However, as you are new to this world, we are not going to be so harsh. You shall be put away in the morgue in a semi-living state, and be kept there until the spring time each year, at which time you shall be re- vived and be with Titia for a week, as her husband, and after that week, you will be filed away againl, he announced to me. What a punishment! Death seemed to me preferable to such a punishment. Separation from Titia! And the Morgue! I had never liked that word. It made me grow all hot and cold up and down my spine. What happened after that is not quite clear. I know I was taken to a surgical room where my arm was laid bare, and something stamped on it. Then all went dark. Whatever the Martians had done to me did not have a lasting effect. I do not know how long I had lain in the morgue. I looked around me and shuddered with Page Scurnly-five I H If F U R Y M L UNVIERT ORLAHESTR BRASS QUI NTETTE THE FORVM horror. Long rows of men, silent as the grave, lay on shelves beside me. I hastened to jump down off the shelf and what happened after that I do not know. Pushed on by terror, I must have, some way, some how, found a way out of the building and after cluding the Martians, found my time machine. A blinding crash and I awoke in 1949 at the same place that I started from. lk PF Ik The editor looked at the Professor and smiled. Do you expect me to believe that story? Show me some proof and maybe .... . Proof l cried the Professor, Look! Wliat more proof do you want ? On his bare arm, stamped in silver, was the awe inspiring message from the Martians, and 2550.

MORNING THOUGHTS I stood upon a tiny hill, and mused In the early dawn of morn, The air was cool, and the lofty clouds Were like a flock of sheep, newshorn. Above these towered a gnarled tree Bent with the burdens of age, But the pink-white buds which it upheld, More than old age repaid. To one side a merry, tinkling brook Flowed swiftly mid banks of green, And God's messengers, from leafy boughs Sang wondrous songs, themselves unseen. And it seemed to me as I stood there musing, The goodness within me stirred, And I felt the power of the great Unknown Had sent the world something majestic, superb. And I know that the world was better that morn Because of the beauty God freely gave, And I knelt on my knees in silent prayer To thank Him for all He made. -Annette Fogle '33, Page Sc'w'nfy-nim' THE FORVM PLAYING THE GAME Have you learned how to take a victory?

CICERO One night I woke up in a dream My heart was fluttering so For there just right upon a beam Hung Marcus Cicero. Beside him stood dear Archias With Pompey at his feet Said he, You do not like my friends Whom I want you to meet. I heard a hissing whisper then And saw a brutal line Of wicked men and at the head Stood vicious Catiline. He made a dive at Cicero Who quickly at a beck From Archias just whizzed around And wrung him by the neck. Get out of here and stay away, He tossed him to his gang Nhich caused them all to fall downstairs A crashing, deafening bang. Once more the voice of Cicero Appalled me as he said,' I see that you know Pompey here VVho killed the pirates dead. You haven't treated him so nice And let me tell you now That if you don't get Archias T here's bound to be a row. This dreadful, buzzing, warning sound Went ringing to each ear I heard a groan and shut my eyes just paralyzed with fear. But when I opened them again No vision did I see Yet dawn found me with Latin books All propped in front of me. Page Eighty -Anne Ellis '30, Af X 4 ? . ' ' - . S Q ne' 1.

Day T H E F O R V M MISS CI-IERRYBLOSSOMH Miss Cherryblossomf' this year's edition of the annual musical comedy pre- sented by the combined musical clubs under the direction of Mondel Ely Butter- field, was enacted on Friday evening, March 14. The presentation was one of superlative excellence, the catchy, haunting musical themes and rythms, the attrac- tive, gay costumes and the colorful scenery provided a charming background to the vivid action of the drama. NVith enlarged choruses from both the Glee and Choral Clubs assisting in the presentation of some of the more rythmatic numbers, with the Concert Orchestra of 25 pieces providing the musical accompaniment, and with the well chosen and excellently trained personnel, the offering was a success from every point of consideration. The plot revolved about the love affair of John Henry Smith, a fastidious young New Yorker visiting Japan, and Cherryblossom, a New York society maiden brought up as a Japanese girl. The character of Cherryblossom was portrayed by Dorothy Abbott in a manner which won her a great deal of appreciation from the audience. Jack Deeringer as John Smith also creditably enacted his role. A similar affair of the heart was in progress between Henry Foster jones, a pal of Jack, and Jessica V anderpool. Charles Moore as Jones and Irene Shimer as jessica displayed considerable talent in their respective roles, and their love affair seriously rivalled that of the leading characters as regards audience interest. Kokemo, a tea garden proprietor, characterized by Leslie McDermott, in commiting a comedy of errors i11 his use of the English language, provided the comedy of the perform- ance, Mac has a certain idiosyncratic ability in his speech which enables him to throw an audience into gales of laughter with his dialectical peculiarities. George Day portraying Togo, a Japanese politician of high rank, by virtue of his magnani- mous manner and comic facial grimaces, furnished additional comedyg George's clever acting was a high spot of the play. The acting of Williarn Dale as VVorth- ington's private secretary and Lyle Grimble as Horace Worthington, a stock broker on whose yacht the Japan trip is being made, deserves much commendation. And so the dual love affairs progress through the storms and calms of courtship, in the end, love must find a way and so right triumphs and Cherry and Jack, Harry and Jessica enter into connubial felicity. Acknowledgements must be made to the technical staff for their superb workg Ethel Reid Scagel, Dramatics, Lorraine Hamilton, Costumes, Lorraine Martin, Dancing, Ralph Giddings, Scenery, Gordon Coventry, Stage Manager, and George Retallack, Electrician. Each fulfilled his duties in an enviable manner, and in- dubitably, much of the credit for the success of the presentation hinged upon the work of these people. Mr. Butterfield is to be congratulated and felicitated for his clever work in cooperating such a tremendous cast and in conducting so splendidly the performance. VV e only hope that it will be our good fortune to again witness next year another presentation of the same calibre as that of this year.

This year, the club selected The Charm School, a comedy in three acts, by Alice Duer Miller and Robert Milton. The action is built about a girl's boarding school which is inherited by a young automobile salesman with unusual ideas about educating young ladies. He takes the school entirely under his own management, installs men instructors and finally gives up the management of the school as a bad job when his methods fail. The part of Austin Bevans, the young salesman, was excellently portrayed by NVayne Folger. He and the friends with whom he roomed had just discovered that they were very embarrassed financially when Bevans received a phone call from Mr. Johns in the person of Lewis LeValley, announcing that a gir1's board- ing school had been bequeathed to the salesman. Bevans declared that this was just the chance for which he had been waiting and that he had ideas of his own about educating girls. Then he announced that while the school would give him a chance to work out a few experiments, it was also a solution to their financial problem. Being a man of action, he promptly hired his friends as instructors. The boys were David MacKenzie, played by Paul Smith, George Boyd, played by Robert Goodlander, and jim and Tim Simpkinsf' played by Carl Raymond and Elliot Dix. The idea of five young men managing the school was not well received by Miss Hays, head of the school. The part of Miss Hays was played by Shanette Goggin in a very convincing manner. Margaret Moran kept the audience in gales of laughter by the way in which she interpreted the part of Miss Curtissf' The girls reacted in a different way than Miss Hays did to the new conditions. They were pleased with the changed methods of the school, and enjoyed the substi- tution of lessons in charm, dancing and account keeping, Latin and mathematics. They made no secret of the fact that their instructors greatly influenced this attitude, and Elise Benedottiu leader of the seniors, fell deeply in love with Mr, Bevansf' The part of Elise Benedotti was played by Geraldine Nash, with her usual grace and poise. The other girls of the school were Sally Boyd, played by Annette Oldham, Muriel Doughty, played by Mary Ruth Daley, Ethel Spelvinf' played by Mildred Crosby, Alix Mercier, played by Margaret Robinson, and Lillian Stafford and Madge Kent, played by Isabella Ryan and Edna Volschow. Finally Elise ran away and Austin went after her. He discovered, through her absence, that he really did care for her, and knowing that he could not go on being the stern head of a school while he was in love with its most popular pupil, Austin decided to turn the school over to Miss Hays and wait until Elise reached marriageable age. The success of the play was largely due to Miss Ethel Scagel, director. Bk Pi- ik Page Eigbly-rn 'rn FACULTY l T H E F O R V FACULTY 1929 Teacher Degree Subject Edmund M. Evans Bertha S.

The Seniors held a dance during Easter vacation in the Y ballroom. Some seventy couples attended and the success is due, in a great measure, to W'illiam Long and his committee. A profit of 53.00 was realized. At such enjoyable gatherings we have spent a large part of our spare time, and now our thoughts turn to one great climax-Graduation-Commencement. In parting let us say that we wish the entire faculty, Mr. Evans, our advisor, Miss Ransom, and all those teachers who have guided us from the first day of our classes in this school, the best that life can hold. TO our fellow Students. we hope your high school days will end as happily as ours have. To Miss Maud Burt we extend our heartfelt sympathy. If we could only have our way, we'cl have her well again today. To everyone we bid an affectionate Far0rc'vlll 'Nick' Muller, Secretary. JUNIOR CLASS The year is slowly rolling to its close and the Junior Class of 1930 has almost completed a successful year. The concert put on by the Glee Clubs of Buffalo University was greatly enjoyed by all present, the selections of the Boys' Glee Club, offering special delight. Fortunately, the concert returns were even. the slight deficit being paid by the kindness of Mr. Butterfield. The class rings, after much careful thought and deliberation, have finally been chosen. VVe are sure this ring will prove satisfactory in all ways.

We hope the next junior Class may have such a successful and enjoyable season as we feel we have had. --Marie J. Robinson, Recording Secretary. DRAMATIC-LITERARY CLUB During the school year of 1929-30, the Dramatic-Literary Club has scored two prominent successes in the line of plays. Une was a three act play, entitled The Charm School. It was presented to the public, February 13 and was a great success and a credit to the club and faculty advisor, Miss Ethel Reid Scagel, who directed it. Coral Beads, a very clever one-act play, was presented in assembly by members of the Dramatic Club. The officers who have so successfully guided the club through this season are: President-Paul Smith .. Vice-President-Geraldine Nash Secretary-Shanette Goggin Treasurer-Wayne Folger The only regrets club members for 1929-30 express are that the year has come to an end and that they are losing their directress, Miss Scagel. It is through her efforts that the Dramatic-Literary Club has emerged so successfully from its activ- ities. In spite of such a great loss, hopes are high for a successful year of 1930-31, and Miss Scagel's successor has the best wishes of the club. 4: 1: if AVIATION CLUB VVell, we've been stirring up 11 lot of talk in this old school, haven't we? It's good talk, anyway. Everyone is talking about the glider 'fthis here club is buying. Gliding is taking its place in the 'foremost ranks of American sports. VVhy don't you take part in this club and learn the essentials of aviation as well as hear interest- ing speakers? Membership in the club has been limited to students of the high school and the Intermediate school. the age limit being fourteen. In order to become a member of this club, you must pay a fee of one dollar, afterwards paying four dollars to become a member of the glider club. The Aviation Club is going to play an important part in the coming air meet sponsored by the American Legion. This meet will consist of an air show, stunting, passenger flying, night flying, fireworks, and everything to make it a success. The object of the meet is to provide funds with which to build a stadium and athletic field for the school activites. VVe are going to hold a model meet, in which the plane that won first prize at Buffalo will be entered. Remember, we want to see you at the next meeting. -james Caton, Sec'y. ik ik -or Page N inefy-three hm-, f M, li T I-I E F O R V M GIRL RESERVES The Girl Reserves are just completing one of the most successful years since we have been organized. This has been made possible through the efforts and good-will of Miss Kathleen Becker, faculty advisor, and Miss Harriet Williams, general secretary of the Y. W. C. A. When the Girl Reserves reorganized last November, we resolved to do more for the Club than has ever been done before, and we really feel that we have lived up to that resolution. We started out by holding a tea for the teachers of the High School in order that the girls might become better acquainted with the new teachers. This proved a huge success socially, so huge, in fact, that we began devising means of financial successes, with the result that a Leap-Year dance was held in the Y. M. C. A. on the evening of January 25. Everyone seemed .to enjoy himself, and it was such a grand success that we are planning to hold another dance on the Friday evening of Regents week, this activity to end our year. In February we held an Italian dinner under the supervision of Jane Perry. This was another financial success, and it enabled many to attend the girl Reserve Conference in Buffalo during the week-end of February 21. Besides Miss Becker and Miss VVilliams, there were ten delegates to the conference, and such a wonderful time was reported that many girls are looking forward to the conference next year. In March, we ventured before the eyes of the public as mannequins with the co- operation of the Lockport Merchants and under the management of Miss Geraldine Nash, our President. This event proved a huge success. Nevertheless it didn't go to our heads, for when Easter came along, we did our good deed. We filled Easter baskets for the little children of the Odd Fellows Orphanage and for those at the Preventorium, and they were all delighted to know that the Easter bunny didn't forget them. On May 2 lst we held a Mother-Daughters' banquet at the Y. W. under the gen- eral chairmanship of Miss Isabelle Ryan. This was well attended and proved very entertaining. On June 5 the Girl Reserves gave a tea at the Y. W. for the Seniors of the Class of 1930. This included not only Girl Reserve Seniors but the Seniors of the entire class, and the affair proved most interesting. Our final social activity will be our banquet, which will precede the dance. This is to be a final get-together of the Girl Reserves until next fall. The Seniors who are leaving the Club this year wish the other members all the success in the world and hope that they will carry on with the same vigor and en- thusiasm as has been heretofore employed. We would also like to take this opportunity to extend our sincere gratitude to Miss Becker and Miss Williams for their untiring efforts in making our club the success that it is. ' MUSICAL CLUBS Each fall the musical clubs are forced to reorganize because many of their best members were graduated the preceding june. Due to this delay, the clubs are forced to wait for a few months before they are fully prepared to give a concert to the public. Page Nineiy-five T H li F O R Y N N-RliSlDIiN'l' III-Y :gf Nim'lvy-.wiv ART CLUB THE FORVM The first concert of the school year 1929-30 was given at the end of school just before the Christmas Holidays. At this time the alumni participated, and all the members of the clubs presented their efforts to the public. The next big feature of the year was the operetta, Miss Cherryblossom, which was presented by the choral-glee clubs and the orchestra. The cast of characters included Dorothy Abbott, R. Leslie McDermott, Jack M. Deeringer, Charles Moore, Lyle Grimble, William Dale, Irene Shimer, George Day. It was under the direction of Mr. Butterfield: the dramatic parts were directed by Miss Scagel. At various times during the year, the different departments of the organizations have broadcast from station WMAK, much to the delight of radio owners. The symphony orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Butterfield, the brass sextette and the band under the direction of Mr. Barone, have provided the majority of these pI'Ogfarl'lS. The officers for the next year are as follows :-President, Clarence Groffg Secretary, Dorothy Abbott: Treasurer, Marie Robinson. NGN RESIDENT HI-Y The Non Resident Hi-Y held its first meeting February 19, at 12:15 oiclock, with Gordon Bowman acting as chief advisor. The main purpose of organizing a chapter was to enable the pupils unable to attend the local chapter, to be members. At this meeting, the officers were installed by the local chapter officers as follows: Norman Jerome, president: Russell Metcalf, vice-president: Arthur Abrahams. treasurer: and Vtfilliam Foster, Secretary. After the meeting a splendid dinner was served. Since these three meetings have been held at which the following speakers were heard: Mr. john Tagg, Sec.: at local Y. Rev. J. D. Livingston, pastor of local Baptist Church, and Rev. Schultz, pastor of Warrens Corners Methodist Church. The Club has made a splendid start with forty-two members, and we hope to continue the good work in the future. William Foster, Secretary. L. H.iS. ART CLUB The L. H. S. Art Club has just completed its seventh year of existence. We have had two very interesting speakers: Miss Ruby Hendrickson, who spent several years in Japan told us of japanese customs and arts g Mr. Butterfield who gave a very interesting illustrated talk on his Mediterrean trip to Egypt, Rome, Athens and the Holy Land. During the seven years, the club's activities have consisted in holding monthly meetings with a speaker on some art subject and a social meeting afterwards, an annual sale of craft articles and candy, and a picnic in June. VV hen the club first started it had but ten members, now it has thirty. We are greatly indebted to Miss Harmon, our advisor, for her work in obtain- ing the speakers and for our success. -Mary Hanagan, Secretary. Page N incty-se vm QF? ai f R E gfuy. . l .F . THE FORVM HI-Y It is with pleasure that I announce that this'year's membership totaled 110 active members. Out of seventeen meetings, the1'e were twelve hundred and sixty-nine in attendance or an average of seventy-five boys a meeting. In conjunction with the Hi-Y club, a non-resident club of forty-two members was formed under the guidance of Mr. Kunz and Gordon Bowman. Our Lockport club is one of the largest in the state, and probably in the United States. During the past season, we were very fortunate in securing Alan Van De Mark, Mr. L. G. Merritt, Mr. John T. Symes and Mr. Sanford as speakers. Last year the club made a pledge to the Y. M. C. A. of fifteen dollars. How- ever. this year, due to the wonderful financial condition of the club, we pledged twenty-five dollars. Social activities reached their greatest peak this year. Four dances were held and although the Christmas dance was a big success, this dance was surpassed by the one held at Easter. The fifth and final dance of the season will be held June twenty-seventh. The music committee is trying to secure an out of town band for this event which will be a climax to the activities of the year. We are now ready to hold an election of officers for the coming year. The type of club we have at present will be reorganized next year into four distinct clubs. In doing this we plan to have a better club but still furnish mem- bership to more students. We are planning to install I-Ii-Y clubs at Wilson, Barker and Newfane. For our meeting nights Mr. Kunz has decided to turn over the boys division of the Y. M. to the club for other activities. Mr. Kunz and the officers sincerely hope that many of the students will avail themselves of the opportunities offered by the Hi-Y next year. Malcom Young, Secretary. FORUM STAFF VVith this parting message, we of the Forum staff cease our editorial functions and duties for the scholastic year. The trials and tribulations of tetra-annually producing the scholastic journal fade into oblivion as we recall with gratefulness the splendid support given us in every possible field by the student body. The task of preparing the scholastic publication is one requiring no little amount of mental effort and cerebral calisthenics, but our work has been liberally rewarded with cooperation and appreciation. It is the earnest solicitation of us who are leaving the staff this year. that next year's staff be accorded the same assistance. It is with the deepest sympathy and distress that we offer Miss Burt in her present serious illness, the sincerest wishes of the Forum staff for her complete recovery and for her early 1'eturn to the staff. With the increasing length of the days, with the gentle zephyrs from the west, the thoughts of the ordinarily staid and serious minded editors turn to thoughts of recreation. Out of the misty haze df whimsical fancies and idle dreams comes the romantic possibility of beguilement and diversion, no sooner is the idea con- jectured than it begins to disseminate throughout the staff. The attempts to sink it into oblivion are fruitless, and the romantic possibility becomes a glaring reality. Page Ninety-nine THE FORVM :X picnic is in the offing! Then is the time when dignity is abandoned and naive pleasures become the order of the day. So it is with a great deal of ingenuous anticipation that we look forward to this excursion into rustic territory, and it is with bon esprit that we bid you au revoirf' -Fred C. Holder, Sec. CAMERA CLUB Our Club was organized March 3, 1930, by Mr. Zimmerman, our faculty advisor. The Club was organized for all the students in our school who are interested in photography. At the first meeting was held the election of officers: President-John Vinci Vice-President-Anna Ellis Secretary-William Kelley Treasurer-George Retallack Since it was organized, the club has accomplished a great amount of work. The dark-room has been equipped with all the chemicals and appliances necessary for developing films and printing pictures. Many of the members under the instruction of Mr. Zimmerman have learned to do this work. The pictures in the photographic section of the Forum are the results of the Club's activities. VVe hope to have many new members next year. VVhy not join? -John Vinci, President.

TRACK This is truly news for Ripley: Lockport High School Track Team swamps it's traditional rival, Niagara Falls, to the tune of 77M to UM. Believe it or not, this is a fact that shall go down in the annals of local sport history as. the most impressive victory. With the glory and splendor of the ancient Olympic Games, the brilliant Gold and Blue flashing across the chests of our loyal warriors, the immortal contest opened. The inevitable clash advanced as a continual, in- creasing slaughter, which was gained by the smashing victory of the relay team which consisted of Billy Hilderman, Lyle Grimble, Joe Mitchell and Captain Jerome. This meet placed several new track stars in the lime-light'and brought new honors to the veterans. Billy I-Iilderman is outstanding as our new century many Lyle Grimble is a safe bet in the 220 yard dash g Captain Jerome is a true leader in name and action, the 440 being a sure shot for himg Joe Thunderbolt Mitchell is stepping the hurdles pretty. The boys are training to add more victories to their list as a partial payment for the faithful work of Doc Gay. Last year the Gold and Blue defeated Niagara 68 to 27.

Grimble Captain-Lynn Blake VVith the return of only five' football L men from the team of 1928, Coach Charles L. McCabe took charge of a squad ranging from thirty to forty men which was to regain the lost football prestige of L. H. S. The Gold and Blue eleven ended a very successful football season at Niagara on November 23, with five victories and only four defeats to the credit of the school. The 1929 team was under the very efficient managership of Lyle Grimble. Lynn Blake was elected honorary captain at the termination of the season as no one had held the position permanently. The fall sport was received this year with the whole hearted support of the student rooters who numbered far up into the hundreds at almost every game at home and out of town. The expected return of many of this year's squad casts a rosy light over the prospects for the fall of 1930. Football Schedule-1929 Date OPPONENTS L.H.S.

H. S. has concluded one of the most successful basketball seasons which the school has enjoyed in a number of fyears. The team this year did not include any outstanding stars but every member was a fine team player and this accounts in a large measure for their success. Teamwork and a good passing attack were features of nearly every contest. The credit for bringing a good basketball team into our midst is due in a very large measure to Coach McCabe. His perseverance and his confidence in the mem- bers of the team and their faith in him went hand in hand to produce startling re- sults. Coach , deserves our hearty congratulations and thanks for building the smooth working machine that he sent on the floor in every contest. One of the very pleasant things about this season is that a number of good players distinguished themselves who will be back in school next year. Prospects for the season of 1930 and 31 are very bright. If all goes well Lockport may boast a championship team next year. p Basketball Schedule--1929-30 Date OPPONENTS L.H.S.

H. S. 12 On April 28th at Emmett Belknap Field, the Gold and Blue baseball squad got off to an ill-omened start. In the first innings the squad walloped the ball all over the lot to gain 8 runs to Bennett's l. Clem Niland, moundsman for the Gold and Blue, pitched a fine game with 7 strike outs but, through the many errors made by his teammates, was poorly supported. In the fourth inning the Bennett team let loose and through their hits and Lockport men's errors, made 7 runs. ln the three remaining innings, it looked as if the Gold and Blue would come back and fight but after two runs were scored, the side was retired. Baldwin, Sheehan and Frombgen featured with the stick, each getting a couple nice hits. wk -r -r FIRST LEAGUE GAME North Tonawanda 9-L. H. S. 8 Saturday afternoon, May 2, the Gold and Blue stickers took a little jaunt to North Tonawanda to give battle to Jack Dowd and his proteges and it certainly Page Om' Hundred Nine THE FORVM turned out to be some game, in fact, a battle royal. Jay White, right in the first frame, gave a certain Mr. Lichtenburger something to worry about by slapping a solid blow to deep left which went for three bases but the one man committee or arbitration ruled that he failed to touch the keystone and he was immediately tagged out. However, soon after this, the Lockport boys began to go after slabman Lichten- burger and frequently, licked his slants for lose blows. This happened particularly in the fourth chapter when the bases were filled to capacity with human freight. Hee Dussault came up to bat and by getting a hit brought Bill Stoll over the plate. Lockport led right up to the last of the sixth inning when a pass to Meyers. and a little single by Pette, set the stage for a heavy slugging bee. They brought in two runs to tally the final score of 9 to 8. Lockport failed to score in their half of the seventh. This game marked the debut of Don Richards who pitched a fine game. 4: :af Pk ST. JOSEPI-IS 12-L. H. s. 4 When Lockport received a 12 to 4 set back by the St. Joseph's team on May 6, at Emmett Belknap Field, it was nothing at all to cry about as this team is made up of nearly all the players from the famous Burke Brothers nine of last year. It may be remembered that this outfit won the United States Championship in the American Legion Junior League. At any rate the score does not indicate the tussle in the least, as the Gold and Blue should have won, were it not for the fact that poor support to Niland and Nagle handed the Saints the game on a silver platter. In the opening brace of innings, the Bisons were able to get at Niland's offerings for only a lone blow but when the poor display of fielding started, Coach McCabe withdrew them, so that he would not wear himself out for nothing. VVhen the Collegians finally started their procession around the bases, nothing could stop them and they scored in every inning, starting with the third. Ik if ik ANOTHER LOSS Tonawanda 12-L. H. S. 8 After gaining such a lead that victory seemed certain, the Lockport High base- ball team was beaten by two runs on May 9. The game was played at Harrison Field and was well attended by Lockport and Tonawanda rooters. Nagel started at pitch for Lockport. He allowed one hit in the first inning and retired the side on easy infield hits. Lockport scored six runs in their half. Richards went in for Nagel in the third inning with two on and none out. Although Lockport held a 7 to 2 lead over the visitors until the end of the fifth, the tables turned in the six and T onawanda brought in the runs which won the game. Page One Humlred Tm THE FORVM VICTORY OVER KENMORE L. H. 5.11-Kenmore S The Lockport High baseball team won its first victory of the season Tuesday, May 14. The game was played in Lockport at Harrison Field. The teams were evenly matched and played a close game up to the last inning, when they broke loose and piled up run after run. Lockport had three runs and Kenmore Z at the ending of the sixth inning. Lockport was at bat first in the seventh and the boys made eight runs before the Kenmorites could stop them. VV hen TqCl11'llOI'6'S dele- gation took their turn at the bat they were determined to follow suit and make some runs for their side. They were unsuccessful, however, and the game went to the local nine. Pk if wtf GOLD AND BLUE LOSES TO TRADITIONAL RIVALS Niagara 10-Lockport 7 An invasion of the Gold and Blue was made into the territory of our ancient sport rivals Friday afternoon, May 2. The two opponents met in the Falls High School Stadium and the battle was soon underway with great fury. Two home runs by Dix and Richards pepped up the team temporarily but failed to win the game. Alternating at the offensive and defensive, the local warriors bombarded left and right, displaying Simpson's speed. Hercules' strength and Solomen's wisdom in the battle for glory. Nevertheless, the battle was unsuccess- ful and the boys came home without the much sought for Niagara scalps. wk lk Pk GIRLS SPORTS The girls sports this spring has chiefly been indoor baseball and interclass track. The baseball teams, five in number, were chosen according to the respective sizes of the players. The winners of the tournament were Team Ig lll. Tovell, CCapt.j c. G. Hendrick, lst b. R.

Throw, and Catch were ru11 off inside while the dash and high jump were outside work. To make the competition as fair as possible, the classes were divided into two groups. the tall group entering those over 5' 4 in height, and the short group with those measuring under 5' 4 .

Zook 7' 5 Page One Hundred .EIFVPII THE FORVM SIVIJIIZIIING The high school in the Lock City is not well equipped for producing swim- mers. There being no natatorium in the building. the swimming team was fortunate in securing the Calvin G. Sutliff Pool in the local Y. M. C. A. for practice during the sixth period every Monday. Of course, the swimmers held unofficial practice sessions at various intervals throughout the remainder of the week. Owing to the lateness in organization, our mermen participated in only two meets, one being at Kenmore and the other, at Tonawanda. The former was a dual meet and the latter, a sectional meet. Our team did well at Kenmore, their experi- enced team defeating us by a very small margin. Those swimming were Frank Crosby, Milton Douglas, Braden Fitz-Gerald, VVilliam Hilderman, Joseph Mitchell, Rhodes Palmer, Carl Raymond and Paul Smith. Coach McCabe took six swimmers to Tonawanda to represent L. H. S. in the annual sectional meet for District 5. The high schools present were Tonawanda, North Tonawanda, Kenmore and Lockport. Three Lockportians placed in the finals for which they were awarded District 5 shields. Those placing were Crosby, Fitz-Gerald, and Raymond. The other three were crowded out of the finals by mere fractions of seconds. Lockp0rt's ZOO yard relay team, consisting of Hilderman, Fitz- Gerald, Douglas, and Crosby, placed third in its event. The team is indeed grateful to Coach McCabe, who volunteered to give up much of his leisure time to aid the swimmers. During the season. Lockport's pre- mier natator, Frank Crosby, acted in the capacity of team captain. With the start that swimming has been given this year, the sport is due to rise to great favor in the future.

HE FQRUMETTE Vol. XXXX Lockport, N. Y. No. III S. S. HAUSNER RUNNING INTO STORM Terrific Regent Twista , Near Vessel Ship, ahoy, mates! Our last, longest and hardest voyage. The weather at present is sultry and choppy seas make it difficult sailing. Terrific storms are predicted for June. But we'll weather those regents storms for we are all so extraordinarily bright CU fAt least we think we arej. Under the guid- ance of our able captain, Miss Hausner, we ought to come sailing thru with flying colors. Our first mates are upholding the honor of the ship. They are Martha Kelley, Jean Howell and Angela Sperranza. The rest of the mates are also doing their share of the work with the exception of a few who are down in the hold of the ship. But they'll soon come upon deck, we are sure. There will be a meeting on board ship if a few of the sailors will insist on talking after the attendance bell rings. Our captain thinks that every- thing should be in ship-shape at that time. But a few of the mutineers are of different opinions which cause quite a few sessions after 2:45. They aren't parties either. All the members of Crosby's room were glad to welcome Wilbur Wallace back to school from the hospital where he underwent an operation for mastoid.

The letter was mailed that day. Collins Arrival and Departure Virgina Knowles, one of our class mates has returned from her sojourn in Southern climate. We are very glad to have her with us again.

This time it is ninety-five. It makes us feel very good to know that this room contains some brains. There have been several pupils in this room who have been studying the blackboards intently for a few days. The reason for this study you prob- ably know. If you don't, ask Miss Wheadrick. Sir Richard Hill had a little argu- ment with the Hon. Uschold. They finally resorted to fists and a few hours later on, waking up, Sir Hill agreed with the Hon. Uschold. A near fatality occurred one day. John Gurski was driving his limousine along Walnut street. The street had been oiled and was very slippery. Gurski's car skidded and hit a post. The occupants who were Sharpe, Jones, Bistoff, Few, Hesch and Liscombe were bruised slightly. Wheadrick GREAT CAESAR MERCER Becker-Ransom Anti-Trust Act May Bulk Plans Bob Cruser and Jim Brennan have incorpalated in the idea of doing Caesar homework. Gene Russell thinks they ring the tardy bell before he gets here just to let the teachers know he is coming and to get things ready. T The Crosby homeroom wish the grads loads of success. Crosby Page One Hundred Seventeen THE FORVM H PERSONALS In our class honors of 1930, Shan- ette Goggin has third highest and Lor- raine Sinclair has fourth. The standard they have reached is remarkable. I am sure many of us envy them. Margaret Moran and Mildred Crosby had parts in the play Coral Beads presented before our Easter vacation. Thelma Shardon and Elizabeth Shearston had parts in the play Sup- pressed Desire . It was a very clever play and both of them did splendidly. One of the events most looked for each year is our Senior play. This year Anna Katherine VVendel had the lead, others in the cast from our homeroom were: Shanette Goggin, Adeline Bolton and Ruth Zuidema. A great deal of talent was displayed in the presentation of The Pasty . Our Honor Roll is another record we are .proud to have. Beautiful but Dumb does not apply to our home- room. We have on the roll! Kelley, Lules, Le Bar, Urtel, Sinclair, Goggin, Zook, Drier, Scapelletti, Goodnick, Ryan, D. Abbot, A. Abbott, Bolton, Kinzly, Montroy, Sherrick, Speranza and West. The Talkers Union has shown a steady increase. Our leading members are: Norris, Shaeffer, D. Long, A. Benziger, Bowmiller, Conrad, Noble, L. johnson, Sinclair and Goggin. Helen Conrad talks a great deal but she usually has something to talk about. Miss Becker is the prosecutor. Becker Page One Hundred Eighteen Several of our members Cmost of them in factj have been keeping com- pany with Mr. Zimmerman in nightly after school sessions. Zimmerman Jimmy Dickie bestowed an honor on our room by playing a bassoon solo over station W. G. R. We hope to see Jimmy in a great orchestra some day. Jim Woods left school for no good reason at all. We ran out of feed so the office canary doesn't visit our rooms as often as she used to. Snyder Mary Pusateri has met with an ac- cident. She sprained her ankle while jumping over a fence on May 31, 1930. Collins Ruth Crosby has just returned from a trip in Washington, D. C., and she brought a necklace to her intimate friend CU Dorothy Shipley. Dorothy Ludeman has returned to school after a long absence but she didn't go to Florida. Stewart We wish to congratulate Stella Kar- lak, Rachel Flagler, Adelia Taylor, Mary Furbish and Ester Davis who are on the Honor Roll. We also extend our congratulations to Annabeth Williams and Jean Star- ling who won prizes in the essay con- test on The Advantages of the Building and Loan Association. Driscoll THE FORVM ADVICE TO THE SENSE-LORN By MISS HELPEM Need Help? Is your Radio working? Do the boys slight you? Is your eczema worse? If anything goes wrong write to Miss Helpem and see what good it does. P. L. Writes, I have been annoyed by the presence of intoxicated people in our neigh- borhood and have at last come to the conclusion that a speakeasy is only a few doors away. What shall I do? Aus.-Knock three times and ask for Pete. Miss A. R. M. writes, I have been fond of a boy and was certain that he was fond of me but now he has turned me down. I don't sing, chew, breathe, eat or play kissing games. What has happened to him? Ans.-Maybe he has been left in a draft. Be sure to hang him in a warm room and always keep fresh water in his cage. Miss R. M. writes, Please tell me the meaning of dfxkyc and use it in a sentence. Aus.-Dfxkyc means congratula- tions. Used in a sentence as follows: You dfxhyc, how dare you come to class without your Algebra? Hopkins There was a young lady named Burke Wlio always went out with a turk Now the Turk's name is pete And he works in the street So she always goes by with a smirk. John Kress, '32 Reynoldston Students Well Repre- sented on Last Honor Roll l S tar-Lost, S trayed, or Stolen In the first place, we are very proud of Room 135 because it has graciously consented to glorify the Honor Roll by sending in the names of E. Calvos, H. Boye, J. Olah, A. Blackmore, G. Kolbow, and an extra guess. But wait, what is this! Reports have come in lately bearing the startling news that once upon a time Shirley Morningstar was really a naughty, little star which strayed from Mother Star with the idea of going to school. But there's something wrong with this idea because S. Morn- ingstar is seldom seen in school. We are thinking, possibly that Mother Star is getting her forces ready to regain back her long lost child. Of course you all know that J. Scotch came from a secluded spot of the Hawaiian Islands, and for this as a basis, you can't blame her for snubbing the long dress style and main- taining a certain one all of her very own. Reynolds Lengthening Days The sun of June is riding high In joyous blue of summer sky g It is a world of life and light, When day holds scepter over night. Sunset and dawning almost meet, And Heaven Comes down the earth to greet. Now, crowned with blessing evermore The fleeting, lengthening days are O'er. Collins Page One Hundred Nineteen THE FoRvM g U SPORTS or ALT. soars Pic'rcc's Profegcs Sports and sports, all sorts: We are able to count ourselves for possessing the best aggregation of assorted sports- man and athletes outside of Albright Art Gallery or Niagara County Jail. F'rinstance, we have on the varsity baseball team the two best twirlers, Clem Niland and Don Richards, also, on the same team, Ronnie Baldwin and that beautiful blonde Dix, the latter having proven himself mightily potent of arm and leg by driving out a homer against Niagara Falls and a triple against Bennett. Our promising home- room team is under the management of Roy Hausauer, well known among sporting circles. Due to all sorts of ill omens working against us, the homeroom team lost to Miss Ransom's room somewhat. Snydcrfr Sportsman On the Track Team we have three representatives, each one having won his letter for the first time in the meet with the Falls. The three proud men UD areg Barnard, Gooding and Hild- erman. We too are proud of them and wish them as much success in the future. We also have 2 varsity base- ball playersg E. Baldwin, and Hank Anderson. In Inter-Class Baseball our boys have won their first victory and are looking forward to their second. Con- ley is our Manager and Higgs our Captain by popular vote. Page One Hundred Twrnly Wflzcaclrickk W'ards The baseball team of Miss Whead- rick's homeroom swung into action on May 15. The opponents were from Miss Cox's room. The score at the end of this game was fourteen and five. There is no need to tell you who won. The rooms that we will play in the future are Mr. Travis', Miss Crosby's, Mr. Muller's and Mr. Zimmerman's. These teams are no set-ups and we ex- pect quite a tussle before we win the league. The members who are on this baseball team and who expect to get their homeroom letters are Manager Gavalas, Davis, Captain Gaylord, Cow- per, Diemert. Lewis, Covell and Hill. We have a representative on the var- sity baseball team. He is Buddy Simmons who is the smallest boy in our room. If at anytime anything goes wrong with Baldwin, Buddy is right there to take up the catching position. We have a pretty tough homeroom track team, but it can't seem to get started. The tracksters on this team are Lewis, Retallick, Davis and Gurski who were under the Captainship of Reeves Wood. Wood, Gurski and Lewis also went out for varsity track and are getting valuable experience which will help them next year. The home room letters will be awarded at a final meeting of the home room. The letters in basketball, track and baseball will be awarded by Mr. McCabe.
