The speed with which our moments fly: I sigh not over vanished years. But watch the years that hasten by. Look, how they come.—a mingled crowd Of bright and dark, but rapid days: Beneath them, like a summer cloud, • The wide world changes as I gaze. What! grieve that time has brought so soon The sober age of manhood on? As idly might I weep, at noon, To see the blush of morning gone. Could I give up the hopes that glow In prospect, like Elysian isles; And let the charming future go, With all her promises and smiles? —Bryant “A thing of beauty is a joy forever.” THE LOWELLIAIN EotoelUan taff RUTH IDDINGS Editor-in-Chief MYRTLE SURPRISE Joke Editor BERT EWER Business Manager ABBOTT DINWIDDIE Sports Editor MAXINE PETRY Asst.

H. S., little did the soldiers realize that the road to victory was so long and rugged. A large company of jolly soldiers volunteered in this struggle for achievement, ready to sacrifice all for the sake of knowledge. The army was soon organized, and Keith was chosen captain to lead us through the first year. With Miss Ryan as commander-in-chief the plan of campaign was well worked out and everyone was eager to begin. Ac¬ customed as they were to a sedate civilian life, our soldiers found it hard to adjust themselves to the hustle and bustle of life on the battle ground. Many left our ranks, but as our numbers decreased our spirit grew. The 4th division was fighting in the background, but fighting valiantly. The next great battle was led by Ruth Iddings. The first year was spent mostly in adjusting ourselves to our military surroundings, but this year some actual fighting took place. Miss Booty was chosen as commander- in-chief, due to her famous ability as an advisor. Our soldiers had some des¬ perate enemies to conquer, Caesar and Geometry being two of the most exasperating. This year proved to us that all military undertakings require much hard fighting and skillful strategy. It was during the third great attack that we realized that we were nearing the front. With Sheri 11 Hayden as our commandant, and Mr. Buis as our strategist, we forged ahead, eager to see the day when we should go over the top. With our colors still bravely flying we fought poverty and suppression, and in spite of many casualties we advanced toward our goal. We sacrificed pleasures for our cause as only true soldiers do. Our banquet proved to all that the little class of ’26 was right there. At last, as seniors we have reached the firing line, where nature herself proved the theory of the survival of the fittest. The red and black sombreros, popping over the trenches spelled destruction for enemies, far and near. The great war is over! The victory is won. At last we have come to the end of the struggle with our supremacy firmly established. Are we worthy soldiers? Was it an individual victory? If not, we have fought in vain. We are proud of the conquest, but it is with a sad heart that we leave the old battle-ground, where we have spent the happiest days of our life. Sylvia Schutz, T.. H.

Volume LXXXV No. 1926 Mysterious Elopement Occurs Mr. Harold Lindemer Elopes With Librarian Following the strange disap¬ pearance of Mr. Lindemer and the librarian of Lowell Hi “after their elopement’’ report was re¬ ceived to this effect: “When last seen Mr. Lindemer wore a green suit, black shirt, red neck tie, orange shoes and cotton socks. He is six feet tall and two feet wide and weighs 182 pounds. His hair is parted in the center and goes all ways. The last person who saw the other person in the case said she had a pencil in her hand and was in the act of writing.” Any clue as to their whereabouts will be gladly received by. Mrs. John Lindemer Notice To Parents Owing to the poor grades being received by some of the pupils who are attending the local school, we will assign those who receive grades averaging below 78 percent to special preparatory schools. I)o you blame us? It is no more than right. No parent wants their intelligent children held back by the poor, lingering student who cares nothing for his future. Those who receive such poor grades are usually of ill character or mentally disabled. Parents, encourage your child to study and think of his future. Speak to him at once and thank yourself later. Mr. Keith Gordon-Prin. LIVING BY HIS WITS Bert Ewer who is a well known attorney at the municipal court, accompanied a client (Mrs. Geo. Clark) to the city prison to talk to her husband who was in prison. After talking to the prisoner, the woman, who was poorly dressed and appeared to be in dire circumstances, asked Mr. Ewer how much he would charge to try the case. Evidently thinking that- her means was limited he told her $5. However, when she drew out a fat roll of bills and began to hunt for a $5 bill, which concluded unsuc¬ cessfully because the smallest note she had was a $10 bill, he realized his mistake. To appreciate what followed, the reader must know that the court room of Judge Elmo Sprague is on the third floor of the police station and the court of Judge Myrtle Surprise is on the second floor. “Wait a minute,” Ewer said. His nimble wits had been work¬ ing rapidly while Mrs. Clark hunted for the $5 bill. “What court did you say that case was to be tried in?” On being informed that it was the court of Judge Sprague, he said: “I’m sorry, but I made a mistake. I thought you said Judge Surprise’s court.” It will cost you $20 to try the case in Judge Sprague’s court. That is a higher court. The client paid the bill with¬ out protest. Announcement Although I have had no special training in oratory I will give a super-spontaneous lecture at the “Grand Theatre ' ' on May 25. All people with political interests are urged to attend.

A gratifying assemblage was collected last Monday evening. The motive was two-fold—first, there being an election of officers and second, the problem which is harassing both teachers and parents so unspeakably, “What is becoming of our children?” The election was as follows: President ....Mrs. Archie Buckley Vice President .-. . Mrs. Sylvia Dinwiddle Secretary and Treasurer . . Mr. Elmo Sprague Papers were read as to the remedy of the aforesaid evil but the meeting was adjourned with no definite action taken.

THE TATTLER—LEARN YOUR FUTURE! NEWS Dr. Abbott Dinwiddle and family were Peoria visitors over the holidays. Mrs. Dinwiddie ' s mother 1 b quite ill with tin ' ‘flu ' ’ and consequently she may re¬ main there for a few weeks. Mrs. Chas. Sherard, nee Grace Smith, has recently returned to this city. It was learned that she has filed suit for divorce, charging that her husband furnish no maintenance. Mr. Sherard was the contractor for Lowell ' s first cinder track. Miss Marie Duncan formerly of this city is now enjoying the sunny clime of Florida. She writes that, peaches and pears are plentiful. Mr. Sherrill Hayden recently left for Texas for an indefinite period. It was learned that cer¬ tain oil fields which he owns there are continually booming. It is hoped that Mr. Hayden may now be induced to donate elevators, upholstered class room chairs and various other conven¬ iences that the local schools are in need of. Noted Beauty Rein ' Sued Mrs. Stephen A. Vanderbuilt, formerly Miss Maxine Petry of this city, is being sued by Dr. K. F. Bill of New York City on the ground that she has neglect¬ ed paying an amount of $2,500, plastic surgery bills. Dr. Bill declared that prior to the pro¬ duction of “The Velvet Gown” in which Mrs. Vanderbilt took the part of a saint she visited his office more than eleven times in pursuit of beauty. The first three times the doctor declares that in uplifted the crying muscles about the eyes and widened the breach between them in order that a more benign at¬ titude would be spread over the countenance. The other times a noticeable blemish was removed from the left cheek. Mrs. Van¬ derbilt was forced to wear band¬ ages about her forehead in the productions which were concealed by a gold and brilliant studded head band. For some business reasons Mrs. Vanderbilt just re¬ cently took passport to Europe. DODGE-VIERS Mr. John Viers and Miss Fan¬ nie Dodge were quietly married by the justice of the peace at Rose Lawn following a queer episode. It seems Mr. Viers dodged a Dodge then dodged into this Dodge and so they were mar¬ ried. The bride is a very estim¬ able young lady of this com¬ munity and the groom, one of the aspiring young men of Hose Lawn. Their friends join in wishing them a happy married life and all worldly success. Wanted—A responsible turn coat to work on a straight 0. O. I). swindle.

The faculty is a noted team and has defeated many classes. Faculty won the kick-off and Captain Dickey kicked for them. We received the kick in the form of our first six weeks’ exams. Many of our players were injured in that one play; but with Sinitty as Captain and Bob and Gretia in the backfield, we had no fear. Time-out was taken for Christmas vacation. Then we played harder than ever until the end of the quarter. In the second quarter Virginia Dickey substituted as Captain, with Jack Taylor and Irma Futhey substituting in the back field. This was a very- exciting quarter, and many of our players suffered from an internal injury called “Flunk”. Many were not able to play again. This report is being written during the third quarter, as it must go to press in time to be published in the “Lowellian”. The report of the fourth quarter cannot be given. The chances are very- favorable for ' 27 though. Both the teams came back fresh for the third quarter with : Bob Bran nock . Captain Genevieve Wood . Half Back Neva Smith . Quarter Back Catherine Grant . . I ' ackle Captain Lansford kicked off, as he did in second quarter. 1 he ball was in the possession of both teams a great deal, but neither could get close to the goal. The score is nothing to nothing, and it is hard to tell how it will end. May we hope that the class of ' 27 is victorious, for great are the honors of those who defeat Faculty. Paul Dehner, L. H.

H. S. Line. We found that there were three other trains ahead of us. Ours was a long, hard-pulling drag. The first thing to do was to organize the train men. e chose Roger Steward for Engineer, Jean Iddings for Fireman, era Hayden for Conductor, and Sammy Sirois to assist Roger. Mr. Cunningham was chosen Brakeman. Later, Roger accepted a position on a larger, more dangerous Train—that of Fortune. Sammy then took the throttle. We had several wrecks, especially at the end of each semester, but no one was seriously injured. After three months’ furlough we came back and were promoted to the Sophomore Train, which was not much easier to handle than the first Train. We had more trouble with the Caesar and Geometry Cars than the others, but Mr. Lansford, the able President of the Road and his officers managed to keep us at work with the promise of Good Pay. On this trip the officials were: Albert Surprise. Engineer Jean Iddings . Assistant Engineer Harvey Taylor . Fireman Dorothy Young. Conductor M iss Meehan . Brakeman Soon we will be starting on another trip. All abroad for Juniorvillc! Gertrude Young, L. H.

Sixty- four started on this voyage. Some were fat, some were slender, some were short and some tall, but all wore a smile for L. H. S. The first day of school we bore many hardships, especially the boys down at the water tank, and also at the creek. Though we were Freshies, we proved to be good sports and back in our places ready for work the next day. After becoming acquainted with one another we called a meeting to elect officers. We elected Sheridan Ruge . President Lucille Searle . Vice-President Glenn Steward . Secretary Florence McCord . Treasurer Mr. Buis was chosen class advisor, but he having resigned, Mr. Cun¬ ningham was chosen to fill his place. The parties were the most enjoyable events of our voyage. Plans were made several times for a weiner and marshmallow roast, but for various reasons they were postponed. Nevertheless, we did have a party October sixteenth. The next party was a skating party at Horner’s Marsh, January twenty-sixth. We have taken part in High School athletics, Leonard Nichols having made the second team in basketball. We believe he has a good future before him. Like all other voyages we have had many difficulties but feel we have conquered them in a very successful way. We can feel sure that “Better davs are coming.” Wait and see! Jeannette Nichols, I.. H. S. ’29 “Small pitchers have wyderears.” 19 2 6 Page thirty-seven ))ou L -PlNC-- HE O ' .

This was the initial game of our football season. Captain Nichols played a good game at tackle. Chuck strained his wrist and Saberniak injured his knee. Morocco made their lone touchdown in the third quarter. LOWELL, 0; KENTLAND, 26. Kentland scored their first touchdown just as the rain came pouring down. The game was delayed for five or ten minutes on account of the shower and was then finished without further delay. The team showed a marked improvement the second half and held Kentland to only one touch¬ down. Nichols playing full-back greatly strengthened our line. Page forty-two 9 2 6 . . LOWELL, 0; FROEBEL, 27. Some improvement was shown in this game. Froebel was greatly sur¬ prised when we held them for downs at different times, but they took ad¬ vantage of the breaks in the game and forged ahead. George Belshaw with a broken nose played a wonderful game. Captain Nichols as fullback did some dandy line plunging. Hayden’s punting w r as better. Toof got away with some nice end running. LOWELL-LAPORTE. This game had to be forfeited as there were too many ineligible players. LOWELL, 18; WHITING, 0. The boys played against heavy odds but the field being wet and slip¬ pery gave our light team a slight advantage. We lost our captain through 19 2 6 Page forty-three THE LOWELLIAN ineligibilities and so Quie was elected as captain the rest of the year. No points were made the first quarter but Toofs scored a touchdown in the second. Joe did a great part of the ball carrying and made wonderful gains. J he two touchdowns in the last quarter were both scored by Quie. The team is lighter than it was but it has a good ofifense. LOWELL, 0; HAMMOND TECH, 18 The wearers of the red and black were beaten by Hammond but the game was not as bad as the score would really indicate. Quie showed very good headwork during the game and so did Joe. Toof and Quie were able to complete the double pass twice in the game, and both times for gains of over twenty yards. More passes were completed by the team in this game than in any other up to this time. Although Hammond made several long end runs they were practically unable to gain through our line, at least not for many substantial gains. During the last half Lowell had the ball in her possession most of the time. LOWELL-MOMENCE. T his game had to be postponed on account of too much snow and rain. It was supposed to have been played later in the year but no time could be set for it. 19 2 6 1‘aye forty-four .g am THE LOWELLIAN .. .. LOWELL, 6; CROWN POINT, 0. Crown Point made the first down. The next play Guinea tackled C. P. for a loss of about four yards. When we were on their thirty-eight yard line Quie broke through for a touchdown. Mo missed the goal by only a few inches. Both teams got away for a couple of long runs. Toof ran down two men which surely would have resulted in touchdowns. Joe made marve¬ lous gains through the opponents line but had to be taken out at the be¬ ginning of the fourth quarter because of a sprained ankle. Bud held the line to perfection. The whole squad of players were allowed to play in this game and everyone deserves the credit for the victory. NEXT YEAR’S FOOTBALL SCHEDULE Sept. 18—Mishawaka, there. Sept. 26—Kentland, here.

The first game of the year with only four days’ practice. The boys played a good game anyway. LOWELL, 21; KENTLAND, 17. Team showed up a little better. Came from behind in last five minutes and won the game. LOWELL, 39; GRIFFITH, 16. Still a lack of teamwork, but the Red and Blacks won the game and were ahead at all times during the contest. Mo was high point man with eight baskets from the field. Toof was second with five baskets. LOWELL, 29; RENSSELAER, 26. Gordon was out with an injured ankle. We finally managed to win, but only in the last few minutes of play. Joe was in part of the game but could not stand it long on account of his ankle. LOWELL, 32; OXFORD, 36. The downstate boys played a good game and defeated our boys on the home floor. The game having been scheduled right after holidays, we found ourselves at a slight disadvantage. THE LOWELLIAN LOWELL, 19; VALPO, 35. This was the home game and they defeated us again. The game was something on the order of a football contest but after all it was called bas¬ ketball. Hayden played a whale of a game and so did most of the other fellows. LOWELL, 38; CROWN POINT, 36. The game was a fast one from start to finish. Joe started the game off and was high point man with a total of twenty-five. Three of our men, Windy, Ed, and Toof, were put out on personals but with all that hard luck we came out at the large end of the score. The second team of L. H. S. was defeated 27-7, however they had not as yet had much experience. LOWELL, 34; KENTLAND, 28. The team had played a hard game the night before, but at that they ran up a goodly score on Kentland. Our opponents almost caught up with us the last half but we held tight and added more points and again we were winners. Joe was high point man. LOWELL, 26; MOROCCO, 31. Morocco plays over our heads. The Red Devils were not up to stand¬ ard and so consequently lost. The second team also had a tough game and lost. LOWELL, 33; HOBART, 27. Mo started the game going by getting a field goal and two foul shots. Then Joe sank a long one and for the rest of the game we kept the lead of = 1926 Page forty-nine THE LOWELLIAN six points. At one time the difference was ten. Quie was high man. Joe was too well guarded to do so very much. LOWELL, 25; WOLCOTT, 26. This was one of the closest games of the year. The boys were not up to standard or we would easily have won. LOWELL, 31; WHITING, 38. The fast Oilers were just a little bit better at hitting the basket than our fellows and the result was that we were defeated. Clark was high point man for us with Ed Belshaw a close second. LOWELL, 29; CROWN POINT, 22. The Red Devils sure played a lot better brand of basketball on the home floor than at C. P. Mo and Joe were hot on hitting the hoop and this aided in running up the score. The game was fast and kept the C. P. boys stepping. This was our second victory over them this year. The second team won 9 to 8. LOWELL, 33; RENSSELAER, 39. Joe and Toof were out of this game, and so the fighting was a little uphill. We should have won but our guarding end of the game was rotten. The second team lost. LOWELL, 38: MOROCCO, 11. The Red Devils gave Morocco a good walloping on our home floor in avenging our loss on their floor. This was the last home game for nine of the squad, who will soon graduate. HAYDEN D1NWIDDIE E. BELSHAW SPRAGUE 19 2 6 Page fifty THE LOWELLIAN LOWELL, 51; GRIFFITH, 14. This was not even a good practice game as the score shows. The fellows went up there with the determination to get over fifty points and they did. I he entire squad was given a chance to play in this game. LOWELL, 46; HOBART, 27. The gang sure got together in this game. We had 29 at the end of the half. 1 he last half, Hobart came back a little stronger, but we ran up quite a number of additional points. Hobart sure did show real sportsmanship and we wish them good luck. The second team lost 12 to 9. NEXT YEAR ' S BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Feb. Feb. Feb. Dec. 10—Morocco, here. Dec. 17—Rensselaer, there. Jan. 7—Oxford, there. Jan. 14—Crown Point, here. Jan. 21—Hobart, there. This is the proposed schedule for the B. B. year 1926-1927.

EAST CHICAGO WINS TOURNAMENT Friday, March 5 2 P. M.—Whiting, 38; Hammond, 13. This game went as the dope- on it had said. Whiting won but they did not have an easy game as they had thought for. Hammond could not get going and their teamwork did not compare with that of the Oilers. Page fifty-one inmrTnn THE LOWELLIAN 3 P. M.—Hobart, 23; Hammond Tech, 22. Tech showed up fine and they had a clean looking bunch of players. Hobart’s teamwork was not nearly up to standard but in the last half they found their stride and beat Tech by a small margin. 4 P. M.—Roosevelt, 29; C. P., 27. This was quite an upset for Crown Point who had defeated Roosevelt by a large score earlier in the season. The Roosevelt team showed good headwork and stayed about even with Crown Point until right at the end of the game when they made the winning basket. 7:30 P. M.—E. Chicago, 36; Lowell, 11. The Red Devils of Lowell could not hit the pace at all in this game. None of the team played anywhere near their usual game and the result was that we were defeated. East Chicago had a fine bunch of players and Mike Paulsen was the mainstay of their team. 8:30 P. M.—Emerson, 28; Froebel, 25. This game did not turn out according to the way most people thought it would. The teams were almost evenly matched, but Emerson had the best teamwork and worked close in shots behind Zimmerman, Froebel’s back guard. SATURDAY, MARCH 6. 9 A. M.—Whiting, 43; Griffith, 17. Griffith was the surprise holding Whiting to such a close score. Only four points difference at the end of the first half. The second half was different with Whiting jumping ahead. 10 A. M.—Roosevelt, 16; Hobart, 15. Hobart failed in good luck at the end of the game and the consequences were that they were defeated by the lucky Roosevelt team. 2 P. M.—E. Chicago, 26; Emerson, 19. The greatest upset of the entire tourney. Emerson had defeated East Chicago twice this year and then East Chicago turns the tables on them at the tourney. Fish, of East Chicago, was the high point man with about seventeen points to his credit. 3 P. M.—Whiting, 46; Roosevelt, 7. A practice game for the Oilers and thus letting the Whiting team enter the finals. FINALS 7:30 P. M.—East Chicago, 17; Whiting, 13. One of the fastest and snappiest games of the entire tourney. There was not a great deal of scoring done but, as the score indicates East Chi¬ cago had the edge on them. East Chicago sure has a real back guard and he is good at both offensive and defensive playing. 19 2 6 Page fifty-two THE LOWELLIAN TRACK SCHEDULE FOR THE YEAR OF 1925 April—Froebel, there.

P. in most every event. Toof was high point man, winning four first places. He won first in the hundred, two-twenty, low hurdles, and the quarter mile. Windy was second to high point man with a second in the two-twenty, first in the high jump, and second in the quarter. Din was third to high point man with second in the high-hurdles, second in the hundred, second in the pole vault, and third in the low-hurdles. AT KENTLAND—1925 Toof was the only man who gained points, and his ran up to the figure of eleven. He took first in the hundred, first in the two-twenty, and third in the quarter. Windy, Din, and Ed. Belshaw came close to placing, but all fell short by one or two places. SECTIONAL AT FROEBEL—1925 The meet was run on a soggy field and it was very difficult for the athletes to compete. Toof was again the only man to place and thus quali¬ fying for the state meet held in Indianapolis. Toof placed first in the hun¬ dred at Froebel and on account of the condition of the slippery track some¬ one ran into him in the two-twenty and knocked him down. STATE MEET AT INDIANAPOLIS—1925 Toof was the only man that qualified for this meet. In his first heat he drew Walter of Kokomo and McCrary of Bicknell to run against and he was beaten. Walter and McCrary placed first and second in the finals so after all Toof made a good showing. INTERSCHOLASTIC AT STAGG FIELD—1925 Toof also ran in this meet but failed to qualify for the finals by only one place. This occurred both in the hundred and two-twenty. TRACK SCHEDULE—1926.

The charter membership consisted of an even twelve girls. Since then the club has increased more than twofold. Both the banjo ukes and Hawaiian ukes are used, the two kinds uniting to give a pleasing harmony. It may also be added that Uke Girls are not required to belong to the Patti Club, which is an arrangement of the present year. When the Patti Club broadcasted from W. L.

Each tries to win her affec¬ tions and she promises to return again soon. “We know a bird by his song and a man by his ivords.’ 19 2 6 Page fifty-nine THE LOWELLIAN Htterarp Literature is the thought of thinking souls. THE LOWELLIAN 3 l )t itaretil Club The Itaretil Club, organized in the year 1922, was reorganized last September with twenty-four members. Twenty six new members were in¬ itiated at the first two meetings. Previous to this initiation, each member was warned of the severity of the three degrees. Every member must be able to show his talent in some way, such as music or speaking. The pur¬ pose of the club is to advance the members in literature, speaking, and music. The officers elected for this year are: Catherine Grant Mary Alice Rigg President Secretary .. Fannie Dodge Vera Fay Davis Treasurer Faculty Advisor An amendment concerning the membership of the club was made this year. The amendment states that only members having passing grades in all subjects the preceding year are eligible. The Itaretil activities have been varied this year. In December, a play “Polly Lou”, was given at the Grand Theater. This met with much success. A gift, a set of books of American Poetry, was presented to the School Library. Some of the members entertained the club and Parent-Teachers’ Association with a short playlette, “A P� achelor’s Dream”. The event of the season, a banquet, was given on March 17. The table was set and deco rated in keeping with the date, St. Patrick’s birthday. We hope that the following year will be as successful and interesting as this y ear and the preceding years have been. “Speech is a mirror of the souls: as a man speaks, so is he. m . .. the LOWELLIAN . =1= Starettl banquet The fifth annual banquet of the Itaretil Club was held March 17, 1926, in the basement of the Methodist Church.

The King farm in New Jersey. Three months later. SYNOPSIS Adam and Eva is a bright and amusing play on the American business man who has a genius for making money but not a trace of talent for man¬ aging his own family. The story of a wealthy man, his extravagant, selfish family, clinging dependent upon him and apparently regarding him as bother¬ some except when he poises pen above check-book. These relatives even arrange with his physician to have him go away on a long trip, so that they may run up bills more freely. In comes the father’s young business man¬ ager, who tells his employer how he would love a home. The exasperated father suggests that they change places, and puts him in command of the household himself lighting out for the upper regions of the Amazon. The young man soon finds himself confronted by the same hurricane of flippancy and terrific bills for lingerie. As a Desperate remedy he deludes the family into thinking that father’s big rubber business is ruined. In divers and humorous manners they meet the emergency. Of course, it does them all good and brings out the best in them. , “Man’s task is always light if his heart is light. llllll ,_ 1 u _ 1 9 2 6 . ...

Nelda Kenney Mrs. Annie Bailey, upon hearing of the disgrace Willard, her son, has brought upon the family goes to Harvard, where Willard is a Junior, to see what can be done about the affairs. She arrives, only to find that he has gone out of town. She prepares to go to the woodstock Inn, Silvertown Village, where a party is to be held and feels sure that she will find her son. In the meantime Millicent is mistaken by Murray Wescott as his sister, June Wescott, who comes to the college house to see if Willard has done anything about a matter very important to both of them. Anderson Doublin, a reporter for the “Springfield Star”, comes to the house to get a write up on Willard. He is accosted by his friend, Joe Green, and told that he can pose as Cedric Anstruthers, a cousin of the Bailey family. Mrs. Bailey with her niece, meets Joe and Cedric. As they and a group of Milly’s friends are having tea, the real Cedric appears at the Inn. There Willard confesses to his mother: “Coming home on the train something happened to delay us in Springfield. I left the train; a young lady did the same thing. When we went back the train had departed and left us. Under the circumstances we naturally began to talk. There wasn’t another train for two hours. She accepted my invitation to have some supper. We went to the Conklin and we hadn’t been there more than fifteen minutes when things began to happen. Of course we didn’t know that the hotel had an unpopular reputation.” Then Jane Wescott confessed that she was this girl, Polly Lou. “The ivorld’s a stage on which all parts are played.” 192 6 Page sixty-eight THE LOWELLIAN local Oratorical Contest I he preliminary oratorical contest took place on Friday evening, March 26, at the Grand Theater.

Do you suppose our men crouch down and face their opponents, between plays, with not so much as a monosyllable to break the tedium? No! Our team doesn’t do things that way. While our quarterback is giving the signals our right end whispers to the Crown Point left end, “My dear, I think you ought to wear your helmet a little more to the right.” “Do you remember the one I wore last year?” asks the C. P. man. “Well, this is it!” “Why it looks just like new!” “But it isn’t. Do you know what I did? I added the rosette to the brim.” “Dear, oh, dear! murmurs the C. P. brute, “I wish I were clever with my fingers as—” The ball is snapped into play and the fight is on. C. P. gets the ball and the men line up again. “My dear,” says our center to the C. P. center “do you know what the center on the Froebel team said about you last week?” “About me?” “Yes. Of course, I don’t believe a word of it, but he said that you were too fleshy around the hips.” “Well, I never! The old cat! And he, of all people! Why, I know for a fact—” At this point the C. P. man receives a kick from the quarterback, which is the signal for him to pass the ball. At the end of the half, tea is served and lady-fingers are passed around and the two captains kiss, and, as I said before, our team is just too sociable for anything! j Sheridan—“Wheredya get the name Teddy for your car?” Abbott—“There are no doors.
