1. sz- 'X -,Ll , 5 S.. T -Ju.. ' ' Style at a Price This is the principle underlying' the great Abraham and Strauss stocks of Readyt-o-Wear Apparel for Women, Misses and Children. Always to show the new things FIRST, provided they are good 5 always to make the prices lowg but never one to the exclusion of the other-this is our unvarying rule. It is the steadfast adherence to Style at a. Price, with quality an inseparable factor, that makes the Store Accommodatingg a store of real public service. The principle holds as true of Coats, Suits, Dresses, Blouses, Lingerie, and other apparel as of Millinery, our inspirations for which are drawn direct from Paris. mv STRAU8' ' 11 Please mention The Prospect while dealing with advertisers. 4..

To the Prospect staffha deal of enjoyment in our work and criticisms, mostly the latter. And the reason for this latter is that you donit realize what an amount of real work is entailed by issuing just one will you 1nonth's publication. Hence this not be an argument to convince of how utterly indispensable the school publication is to your welfare, but it will be an exposition of our job. On the same day the book is present- ed to the student body, a meeting of the staff is held. Here the issue is gone over thoroughly and its weak points discussed, figuratively raked over the coals. At the same time, those responsible for the good points or the bad are commended or censured, as the case may be. Suggestions are now made for the improvement of the next issue. Timely subjects for edi- torials are presented and those who feel inspired to write on them are given sanction to do so. However most of that work is done by the as- sistant editors and the editor. The meeting terminates with the announce- ment of the date by which the material for the next issue is due. Here, too, ends the first step of the job. The worst is yet to come. The heads of the various depart- ments immediately begin gathering their material. They apportion the work to their assistants, paying par- ticular attention to any special articles that may have been assigned by the Twenty editor. But the best part of it is, the whole staff works on its own initiative, merely adhering to the general plan of the kind of news they must have. And here's the way they go about it. General News is the most important division and is headed by three Gen- eral News Editors who have under them a staff of reporters. The latter are assigned divers events to cover Cre- portj, according to the discretion of their superiors. They must watch closely the bulletin board and follow up all rumors of anything doing. All must pay close attention to the con- versation of the student body, for that is the barometer of the sehool's activi- ties. General News as a whole must be thoroughly wide awake for no dead ones can hope to succeed. The activities 'of societies are next on the list. According to the name, one might think it meant only those associations organized for social af' fairs, but such is not the case. It in- cludes all the clubs of Manual, of which there are a large number. To take care of these, we have one editor and assistants. The last cover what they are assigned, their superior tak- ing what he pleases. The work is done by asking the secretaries of the sev- eral clubs to make a thorough report of all their society's activities. Then a suitable revision of these reports is made by the society editor and his as- sistants. VVhere there are no secre- taries or where it is impossible for news to be secured in any way, those responsible go after it themselves. The Athletics Editor comes next. It is his duty to report every Manual athletic event of importance and he docs this by conferring with the teach- ers in charge, the captains and the managers of the various teams. It is best, for a good report, that he see the games himself and this he does whenever practicable. Newspaper clip- pings also furnish a valuable aid. The Girls' Athletics Editor gets her mate- rial in essentially the same manner. Manual likes to keep in touch with ner graduates so the Alumni Editoi takes care of that. lle writes letters to the graduates at the colleges and they send him information of our old students. Teachers in the school who keep in touch with former Manualites also help out and newspapers and a number of associations form good sources of news too. We receive a number of exchanges from other schools every month and so an Exchange Editor reads them and makes comments as to their worth and opportunities for improvement. He also suggests, by comparison with these, how our own book can be altered benefieally. The Joke Editor scours the school for choice samples of students' origin- ality, though he gets humor from other sources too. The Art Editors are very important as they must make the cover design for the issue, in case there is no con- test on, and all cuts, up to the ex- tent for the money appropriated for such work. The ideas for these cuts come from the material being gathered, for the editors must confer with the rest of the staff in order that their work be appropriate. The cartoonist does not adhere so much to that idea for he takes any likely notion that fits well with the happenings in school. He is more or less of a free lance. Now, in the meantime, the editor-in- chief has conferred with the business manager on the subject of the size of the book, in other words, the number of pages. Usually forty pages are wanted but sometimes forty-four or more are desired. As this publication is run strictly on a business basis, it is absolutely necessary, in the latter case, to consult the business end. He in turn, is governed by printer 's rates, engraver's rates, advertising returns, circulation and the amount of money to the credit of the Prospect. The de- cision is given and when the time comes the book is made up in ac- cordance with that decision. The date at which copy, our name for the material, is due arrives and the task of correcting it is begun. As each assistant editor has charge of a department or departments, he is re- sponsible for the correction of the copy of that department. The editor and the teacher in charge help in copy cor- rection to facilitate the work. The aim is to rectify not only grammatical er- rors but erroneous ideas. In case the article is unfit for use it is revised if necessary. All the acceptable material is then sent to the printer, who prints it on long narrow sheets of numbered pink and white paper, of about the width of a column. These pink and white proofs are called galley, and are duplicates of each other. The proof is sent to the Prospect and the White galley is corrected, or proof read by means of proof-reader's correction marks. The assistant editors perform this duty with the aid of the editor and the teacher in charge. The Twenty-one pink galley is then taken in hand by the editor. An old Prospect of the same number of pages as the pros- pective book is procured from the files, and the dummy, as this is called, is made. The editor has decided before- hand, though in a rather general man- ner, where he wants each article to go. There are two columns to a page and he cuts up the pink galley to lit these columns. Most of the time, however he has a great deal more material than he can fit into the dummy and hence he has the added trouble of deciding what to use, besides the difficulty of arranging it advantageously. The whole job is a most trying and time consuming one, well calculated to try one 's temper. Oft times there are spaces left at the end of an article which cannot be used. Hence a joke or witticism of some kind is introduced as a space filler. Of course it must be just the size required. V VVhere the old cuts, which, by the way, are the drawings prepared for use in the Prospect, are to be used, the edi- tor tits in his galley so that they will appear in the proper place. But Where new cuts are to be used, he pastes in proofs of them where they will appear to the best advantage. The advertise- ments, on the other hand, are arranged in the dummy by the advertising man- ager, usually according to the position called for in the patron's contract. And now that the dummy is made up, it is sent, along with the corrected galleys, to the printer. He makes up the page proof as indicated by the posi- tion of the articles in the pages of the dummy and sends it back to the Pros- pect. We now have a sample of how the publication will appear in print, with Twenty-two the exception that it is not bound in book form. The page proof is proof read by the editor and the teacher in charge. As soon as that operation is completed, the corrected proof is sent back to the printer, who now proceeds to print the pages and to bind them in book form. All that now remains to be done is to distribute the books by means of the circulation depart- ment to the students. Though not directly concerned in the making of the Prospect, the busi- ness staff is just as important as the literary staff, for one could not exist without the other. And because of this it is best to save an explanation of how the Prospect is managed and circulated for a future article. All that now remains for you to do, since the publication is made, is to procure one dime, buy the book and realize and appreciate the Work of the more than thirty people concerned in its production.

A Page From Poe Strangers always take me for a man of fifty or sixty. ln reality I have just passed my thirty-fifth birthday. My gray hair and many of the deep lines in my face were made one terrible night last winter. That night rc- occurs in haunting nightmares now- and always will. Mr. Robt. Cornelius, 295 Bleecker St., N. Y. City. Have important invention. Come in- spect personally. Please wire. John Kcllner. Such was the telegram that l re- ceived late in the morning one exceed- ingly cold Saturday towards the end of January. lt had come from Luzon, New York. The last time I had seen John Kellner was the day I called him into office to show him an invention oi' mine. The telegram brought the pic- ture before my eyes of his short, squat figure, his dark skin, his unruly black hair and his eyes dark and piercing. He always seemed to be looking for something hidden. I often thought he could pierce the very walls of death if he willed. Probably it was his invent- ing mind, making itself felt. At any rate he had invented several import- ant things for the firm, always insist- ing on showing them to me in private first. I never understood this, but humored him. As I was saying, before, I got side- tracked, John Kellner came in at my bidding this time lo see my invention. It was a small improvement that I had patented, nothing really important. I invented that, he said slowly, You stole my idea! and he drew from his pocket a model almost the duplicate of mine. He explained heat- edly that he had thought of the ap- pliance a month before and had com- pleted it the very day. In return I told him that I had applied for a patent about ten days previous. He looked at me, half-opened his mouth as if to speak and left the office. I shivered at the way he looked at me. The telegram was the first word I had had directly or indirectly from him since that day. It seemed clear to me that he had gone off to experiment in secret for it was not at all unlike him. If John called it important, I decided that his invention was worth investi- gating. Yet something told me to send an employee. Ilowever, I knew John would show it to me only so I hunted up Luzon. If found that it was over a hundred miles from the city, on the O. and W. R. R. There was a train leaving at 3 P. M. I wired John and took that train. ' It was about a quarter of eight when I reached Luzon. As I got off the train I was addressed by a thick-looking countryman who said he had come from John's. Witliout stopping to eat I went with him to his buggy. As we rode through the town I inquired about John. The fellow muttered some- thing half unintelligible about queer doings. Naturally the country people Twenty-three would look at John as being decidedly queer with his experiments and such was what I thought. But now it strikes me that he may have meant something else. n VVe were on the outskirts of the village by now. I thought we must be nearing our destination. How long do we drive? I queried. Oh, 'bout an hour, replied my guide after I had asked him twice. Having had no supper this gave me some dismay. Besides it was a good deal colder than I had expected. It was no cheerful journey that I looked forward to. And yet it actually turned out worse than my most pessi- mistic thoughts. As we moved along a mist or fog seemed to come from nowhere, and a slight flurry of snow began to fall. The like of the fog I have never seen. I looked up and saw some stars, yet could not see the horse's head in front of me. At other times it parted before us, only to close in after a time. It would become thick, then thin, it would rise and fall. I felt that every hoof-beat was playing my funeral march, and the fog was dancing to the tune of it. Like thoughts persisted in spite of the fact that I do not believe in presentiments. Perhaps my empty stomach caused them. At length, after what seemed hours, we stopped beside a gate. I got out, and immediately the driver turned around, disappearing into the fog that had troubled me so. I stumbled along a road and found myself before an old, weather-beaten house. It had long since lost its paint, and was now the color of charred wood. I had hardly knocked before the door was opened by John. He looked Twenty-four at me wildly, grabbed my grip, and threw it into the house. I started to say something.about a bite to eat, and a cup of hot coffee, but he interrupted me gru'Tiy. The invention will work better if you don 't eat, he growled, and pulled me in the direction of a shadowy out- line that proved to be a barn. Through the fog it looked like a monstrous ogre waiting to devour me. I shivered violently, half from the cold, half at the thought my morbid brain had conjured up. The barn had at- tached to it one of those tall cylindrical structures called a silo and used for storing corn or other produce. We went up in this, clear to the top and there was a queer contraption indeed. The first thing I noticed was a huge wheel and axle. A heavy rope was wound around the wheel, and at the end attached to the four corners of what looked like a cedar chest. I bent forward to examine and as I did so, something heavy struck the back of my head. A splitting headache brought me back to consciousness. I found my- self, without an overcoat, strapped tightly in a sitting position on the chest. My arms were raised, strapped to the rope above me. Below me was a black void. I looked over at the platform and saw John gazing at me fiercly. Listen! he half shrieked. I felt the box go down a bit just then. You've been tied there since ten o'clock. The box descends an inch every five minutes making a foot an hour. It was just thirty feet from the bottom of this silo to the bottom of that chest. In other words, as it is half-past ten now, you will reach the bottom twenty-nine and a half hours from now, or at four o'clock tomor- row afternoon. This box is weighted with iron, and there is seven feet of water at the bottom of the silo. You will be dead long before you touch bottom, and I shall be revenged. You stole part of my brain, when you took that invei .tion long ago. I shall watch your fact as you go down, and be hapnv. J' t five in the morning T will leave to catch the seven o'clock train to the city. I will leave orders for someone to come for you at five in the afternoon. He will get here, find a note directing him to the silo and will discover your corpse on the box, completely submerged in water. And I shall be bound for South America perhaps, 'cr Japan. They will never find me. M first I tried to reason with him, then I cursed him violently, and finally numb with cold, feverishly hot at other times I looked at him. And he talked on and on, boring me through and through with his mad man eyes. His talk was punctuated with the little clicks. After a while I could see him no more but heard him above me. Then he moved down to another landing. I lost all idea of time. The raving talk of that crazed inventor, the clicking seemed to be something I had long heard when John prodded me to at- tention. It is a quarter after five, he spoke gruesomely, I leave, you 'll see me no more. But I depart satisfied at last, you will pay for your theft! He left, and ere long I became in- sensible to everything. At length cold water around my legs caused me to take notice. From John's figures, I suppose it was about ten o'elock Sun- day morning. I heard a click, and felt the water rise a little. I shrieked, I wept, I prayed. ,Do you know, can you imagine, what it is like to be compelled to drown, to be absolutely powerless to prevent it? My brain told me I was drowning. I struggled against my bonds. I put every bit of vigor in me into these terrific efforts. With a last super- numan heave, I felt them give. I sat up in bed in a hospital. A couple of husky attendants had been holding me down. My brain was full of questions, but it was a long time before I learned the full history of my miraculous deliverance from death. John had told the livery man to call for me at five. He had done so and after a search, found me on the chest floating in the water. John had some- how forgotten to put the scrap-iron in the box, for it was found in the barn. But even so, I came near dying as he wished. I had a severe case of pneu- monia complicated by brain fever. All that medical skill could do has since been done. Now I am here, in this delightful California air, regaining every day more of my former strength. It is like a page from Poe. ,il..i-i-l- I wonder why this poet speaks of the stream this way: The sleepy river drowsed and dreamed. Probably because it was confined to its bed. Reason for Haste.

Twenty-five The question of how to spend vaca- tion is, we believe, worthy of much consideration. Shall you Vacations make your vacation a And real or a sham vacation? Vacations VVill it leave you men- tally and physically stronger, or weaker and less tit to re- sume your high-school studies or carry on your chosen line of work 'I By de- grees, the vacation idea is changing, Happily, it is becoming a more sensible one. Picture school boys and girls spend- ing several weeks at a summer hotel. They find there artificial attractions, and usually seek no other kind. A feast of sodas and sweets forms part of their daily program. The girl, per- haps more than the boy, is a constant member of the rocking chair brigade, where she gossips about worthless nothings. They too often keep late hours-the boy may play pool, the girl dance. They end in becoming gen- erally bored, physically tired and men- tally dull. Turn now to an organized summer camp. You find here boys and girls of entirely different stamp. Keenly enjoying outdoor life, daily perform- ing definitely assigned tasks, they find Twenty-six DITORIALS their pleasures and duties satis- factorily equalized. Early hours, wholesome food, mental relaxation, and the best form of phys- ical recreation, give these campers last- ing benefit. Besides acquiring alert- ness, enthusiasm, energy, a spirit of self'-reliance and self-restraint, they learn much of practical value. The dangers in canoeing, the necessity of being able to swim, lessons in first aid to the injured, and general camp knowledge are all absorbed and appre- ciated by them. Do they wind up be- coming bored of everything in life? Not they! VVith a never ending source of exercise and entertainment in the great out-of-doors, they waste no idle moments, and return to tasks of a more serious nature, in school or business, with vigor and added capability. lf you may choose, which vacation will you take? What will you make of your opportunities? The good old summer time has again arrived, and with it comes a welcome vacation. Some of us Be Sure will go to the moun- To Return tains, others to the sea- shore, Cof course, none will go to Europej, and still others will remain right here in Brooklyn. Many will go to work for the summer months, and have a taste of business life. It is to these that we wish to say something, and that something is this: Don't forget to come back. Time and again Manualites have gone to N some business firm and secured tem- porary positions, more often called jobs, just for the summer months, but either because their salary was raised from four dollars to four-fifty a week, or just because they thought they liked business better, they failed to re- turn to school when it re-opened. A year or two after, these same fellows have come back to Manual to see their old friends here, disgusted with them- selves and sometimes with the whole world in general because they have not yet become the presidents of their concerns and are still earning, or rather getting, the same salary with which they started. Take a hint from what others have done before you, and if you do go to work this summer, don't forget nor neglect to return to Manual when school opens next September. Thrift is a word which is passing from mouth to mouth. And what does it mean? According to the Thrift dictionary, thrift is the sav- ing of money which would otherwise be uselessly spent. lt also has the meaning of spending wisely and giving generously. According to such famous men as Alba Johnson, Henry Ford, Franklin K. Lane and others, this little word of six letters contains the secret of success in this world. The quotation on the cover from a speech of James J. Hill voices this information. When a student comes to Manual, he must have spending money. Some may have more than others, but every- one has at least a little. What is done with this? The candy and soda stores around this neighborhood seem to be doing a thriving business during the lunch recess. Others eat too much. Still others purchase various things which mad desire craves for. A great' deal of the money could be more ad- vantageously used if it were placed in our School Bank. Soon small sums will accumulate into larger sums and a savings bank account may be started. Many of you students, wish to go to college but you don't know where the money is coming from. You would be surprised if you knew how much can be saved by putting a little away every week. Some will work this summer. Here, also, is an excellent opportunity to save money. Every one has to buy some things, of course, but then is the time when discrimination should be used. Another thing that cannot be passed over with a word is giving generously. Select a worthy cause and help it? You will be rewarded. Every student knows that he ought to be thrifty. He has seen what has been done because of thrift and he has seen what has been undone because of lack of thrift. Therefore, why don't you become more so? We notice among a number of the students at Manual this philosophy of life. Me first, then, after me myself. In vari- ous places and at different times this attitude is evident. When the bell rings at 2:15 Mondays and Tuesdays, there are those who rush and push, run and race, trip and tug to get a good position on line and, hence, a good seat for the aan'!i- torium exercises. They do not respect the welfare of others, the rules of the sehool and common courtesy, but rush for their own interests regardless of And The Rights of Others Twenty-seven how it affects their neighbors. They also show this attitude in their wild scramble to the lunch room and in the various situations where congestion is likely to arise. The ,mistaken philosophy of the aforementioned stu- dents is the philosophy which actuates the mob, and it brings disastrous sults in the end. ln its broad sense, it is the basis of anarchy and dis- order which we all detest. Therefore, in the future, let us alter our methods. It is all right for us to get fthe first place 'on line or the advantage at lunch. This is initiative. This is look- ing out for our best interests. But the objection is this: Do not infringe upon the rights of others by so doing. Let courtesy to others always govern your actions and then self-assertion and initiative are justifiable and right. Agriculture for High School Students. What is the New York State School of Agriculture at Farmingdale, Long Island? It is the result 'of a concerted effort by the far-sighted people of lower New York State to establish at the very doors of the great metropolis a school which will give to students of High School age an opportunity to be- come practical scientific farmers and agriculturalists. Of all of the great natural resources in which the United States abounds agriculture is the greatest and at the same time the least developed. Know- Awg that the soil has been least ex- ploited, we are safe in predicting that the industrial development of the next few decades will be along agricultural lines. The farm of 308 acres is the main laboratory of the institution. The Twenty-eight school buildings have been admirably located so that students issuing from classes of theory need but take a step or two before entering practical work in the fields. On the farm every kind of agriculture generally followed in eastern United States is practiced, so that a student receives more variety of practice there than on any single farm in the state. The course of study and the methods of instruction at the Farmingdale Agri- cultural Sehool have been planned to meet the special requirements of the students from New York City and its environs, including the maximum of practice with the minimum of theory and a grasp of such general principles as are the basis of all successful agri- culture. The school offers a four-year course in all branches of agriculture, includ- ing Plant Propagation, Farm Crops, Soil Fertility, Animal Husbandry, etc. An opportunity is given in the Senior year to speciali:-ze in Horticulture, Dairying and Poultry Husbandry. The school is in session all year. The minimum educational preparation required for entrance to the school must equal that of a graduate of the Eighth grade. Tuition is free to resi- dents of New York State, and there is no charge for laboratory fees. Stu- dents will be accepted for entrance to the school on June 26th and October 2nd of this year. All who are interested in modern agriculture and think of entering this attractive field should by all means visit the Farmingdale Agricultural School at the earliest opportunity, or communicate with A. A. Johnson, Di- rector of the school. D' b ' 1111 .QQ 531 . C E91 ' 1 !1:11111i'gE1-11x N.. 1 I 3 i l 11 , if-V1 ul 1 11 11 '1 g: ': v' v f i 1 2 'M fi 1 03 6 5 Y .

The contest, which was a part of the exhibit, consisted of two groups, the first reserved exclusively for pic- tures taken by amateur photographers who had never received a prize in any former picture contest, and the second for those students who had received :i prize before. The pictures of the latter group were both taken and finished by the students themselves. Eight prizes were awarded, first and second prizes for landscapes and first and second prizes for portraits in each group. The pictures of the winners were so excellent that we have de- cided to patronize them if they should ever open up a photograph studio. CVVe expect cut rates for thisj. Manual On Top Again. Yea, Manual! Yea, Manual! Yea, Manual! Did we cheer? No, not very fre- quently, but when we did, Oh n1y! We certainly did make the Berkeley In- stitute auditorium ring with our voices. Imagine two Manualites, one at present in the school, one just recently of our ranks but now attending lleffley Institute, walking away with the second and first prizes respectively at the Hamilton Declaination Contest. Ludwig, our brilliant orator, was the winner of the second prize and he well deserved it. Ruschke a former dele- gate of Manual to the Colgate Ex- temporaneous Contest, and a former active member and officer of the Manual Debating Society, carried off first prize. The contest was held on Friday evening, May 5th, under the auspices of Hamilton College. Nine Thirty schools were represented by nine ex- ceptionally fine orators. Manual was supported by the largest number of representatives. Both prize winners received their fares free to Hamilton College where they were entitled to enter the general contest of prize win- ners held under the auspices of the college. Class Day. Class Day? Oh well it wouldn't do for us to tell you how good we were so we won't, but did you hear we were offered a vast sum to perform for The Home for the Deaf, Dumb and Blind? The program was a Shakespearian Revival, the titles at any rate. Edith Mayne and Chalmers Nicoll, described Manual in 1966 in a sketch called As You'd Like It. A mock trial by Sherman Shipman was f'Much Ado About Nothing. Mr. Arson, the accused, Iinally suc- ceeds in obtaining Justice With a real boob, and a regular old maid. Allis Well That Ends Well by Gladys Vorsanger, justified its title. Some songs, violin and mandolin selec- tions by our talented class-mates com- pleted the program. An Unusual Exhibit. For the iirst time in a long while we have had an exhibition of real hand- painted pictures. It was at the Man- ual-Pratt Exhibit on May 18 and 19, in the rear of the auditorium. There were portraits, and pencil drawings, stencils and sketches, one of the finest collections ever exhibited in Manual. The canvas sketches and portraits, except one, were painted by Paul Hesse, who was a former art editor of the Prospect. Hintermeister's works i11 the form of pencil sketches were also exhibited. Others whose sketches were on view were the Misses Craven, Hopewell and Ross, and Messrs. Le Brun, Fabricant and Spicker. Thursday Reading. On Thursday, May 11, 1916, Mrs. Crafts, an elocutionist, entertained about one hundred students with vari- ous humorous selections, accompanied by her sister at the piano. She pleased them so greatly that she was encored no less than six times. This, together with clever dancing by Miss Mabel Dooley, made the afternoon one that was greatly appreciated by those pres- ent. The Blue Book. The Blue Book is out. If you have not ordered one, do so immediately. Your Prospect agent will take all such orders. This year the Blue Book is different. It is larger and better in every way. It contains in detail the doings of all the activities that have taken place in Manual during the last year. The price 'of the Blue Book this year is ten cents. The Gibson Pictures. Every person will admit that an il- lustration, no matter how good or bad, will always convey to the reader a clearer meaning of the article he is reading. lt seems to bring to 'one's eye a picture of the characters in the article or story, fitted in where they be- long and acting as the words dictate. With this fact in mind, a certain kind person, known to the world at large as Gibson, collected, wherever he could, pictures of scenes surround- ing Shakespeare's life. These pictures were in the library on the bulletin board all during the month of May. Benjamin Goldberg, one of 'our stu- dents is to be thanked for securing these pictures which enabled us to en- joy the works of Shakespeare so much more than by reading alone. The Musical Arts Concert. On Thursday evening, May 11, our chorus in company with the Metro- politan Orchestra, did their part toward the May Choral Festival. Professor Fleck who is at the head of this movement intends to bring the young people in touch with great sing- ers, and masterpieces of the day. In this way he thinks that they may be made more familiar with such works and when they do Cllill1C9 to sing light opera they will be more fitted to do so. At The Blue Dolphin. Manual did its part in celebrating the three-hundredth anniversary of William Shakespeare. On May 29th, two days after the school play, it pro- duced, At the Blue Dolphin, in the auditorium under the supervision of Miss Conklin. The cast consisted of sixty students of Manual. The sketch was quite a novelty. It represented a group of roving actors who had stopped at the Blue Dolphin Inn. There they were requested or bribed or inveigled into producing some of their plays. The hall was cleared, some sort of a stage was imagined, and the players began. They produced snatches from several of Shakespeare's plays and gave: quite a good imitation of the way in which they were played long ago. Those who took part and the Thirty-one coaches deserve much eommendation and praise for the manner in which they produced the sketch and for their untiring efforts in making it the success which it was.

The performance of If I Were King at the Academy of Music on Saturday evening, May 27th was in many respects the finest performance Th i rty-two given by the M. T. H. S. Dramatic Society. The magnitude of the under- taking may be conceived when it is taken into account that seventy-five students took part in the production, twice as large a number as had pre- viously appeared in a Manual play. If I Were King is a classic among romantic plays. Leslie Hotson, as Francois Villon, distinguished himself by dashing effrontery, ardent love- making and poetic expression. In the hands of Kenneth Ludwig the simi- larity of Louis XI together with his craftiness, was well portrayed. Emily Mount as the Lady Katherine De Vaucelles, was noble in her pride and becomingly tender in her woman- ly yielding to her love. Lillian Baird was a revelation in her interpretation of Huguette, the girl who gives up her life for love. The other characters dis- played excellent team work so that the whole performance went with a vim and a snap that brought forth much applause from the audience. Everyone went away pleased and If I Were King was numbered among the plays of yesterday. Seventh Grade Dance. On Friday, May 5th, the members of the Seventh Grade gave one of the best dances that have ever been given in our gymnasium. Harry Beggs, chairman of the social committee did much in making this dance a success. The tickets, the blue and, gold dance orders, the lucky number dance, and the refreshments all showed distinctive originality. The Lucky Number-Dance was won by Edwin Cadiz, a former officer of the Grade, the prize being a box of home-made candy. During a brief intermission Mr. Lindlar, Hon- orary President, rendered some very fine selections on the violin and he was heartily applauded. Brcgstein, assist- ed by Peyton and MacNair, furnished the music for the dance. H. 0. S. C. Let us give a few words at first by way of introduction. NVc intend to have this column regularly in the Prospect. It is to contain all the news of the activities of members and it will also give suggestions, from time to time, as to the regulations for member- ship in the Order. Watch for it each month. Recently the Knights' and Ladies' held a dance and social in the gym. The affair was well attended and every- These body enjoyed the afternoon. students intend to have another dance soon as a farewell dance to those graduating this term. Among other things, the Ladies have taken charge of the clean-up campaign in the girls' lunch room. The Knights have taken charge of the Fire-doors under the new fire law. These are kept shut dur- ing recitation periods. The Esquires and Ladies-iii-Waiting recently held a get-acquainted meeting and dance in the gym. The affair had many unique and 'original features among which was the always popular Yes and No game. Mr. Mc- Call was the master of ceremonies and conducted the social extremely well. Messrs. Bregstein and MacNair are to be thanked for their fine piano music at the dance. The Pages are under the supervision of Dr. Meneely and the Maids are in charge of Miss Schradieck. Heretofore, the highest degree has been conferred on the Esquires who have qualified and those seniors who have passed the necessary tests. ln the future, how- ever, the only way in which a student may become a Knight or Lady is to pass through all of the degrees . This means that students must qualify as Pages or Maids before the middle of the fourth term in school. According to the tests for qualification, no stu- dent may enter the first degree before the first week of the second term, so this gives a year in which a student has an opportunity to enter the Order and finally attain the highest degree. A circular containing the necessary in- formation for prospective pages has been published and may be obtained from Dr. Meneely or Miss Schradieck. , gon if fel! .. Ie ,51 HAVE YOU BOUGHT YOUR SONG BOOK? EIG-HTH GRADE NEWS. The Eighth Grade in the Preparedness Parade. On Saturday, May thirteenth, a platoon of seniors, twenty strong, marched in the Preparedness Parade along with Manual's Military Com- pany. We left Brooklyn at half past three, arrived at Washington Square at half-past four. Then the fun start- ed. To our chagrin we found that we Thirty-three had to have a commander and the commander we found we had to have was a very bumptious youth who tried to imitate a regular officer but his imita- tion was a sad one indeed. He re- garded us dignified seniors as raw recruits and acted accordingly, where- fore we were quite provoked. But still we wouldn't let a little thing like a commander bother us. 'One of the com- mands on which we were drilled was Eyes right which we were to ex- ecute while passing the reviewing stand. Consequently when some sharp eyed fellow spied a damsel approach- ing he would cry out, Eyes right or Eyes left as the case might be and we all obeyed instinctively, an action which evidently annoyed our would-be commander. We were still waiting to fall in line at six o'clock and the pangs of hunger were beginning to assert themselves. Consequently when a merchant approached the company with aln1o11d bars, while supposed to be standing at attention, we revolted and swamped the vender of chocolate. A sandwich salesman also put in an appearance but was not successful since one of our number negotiated and reported unfavorably upon the Hsand- wich-man 's ' ' wares. NVQ Finally swung into line at half- past six. Eddie Martin prided himself on his marching and claimed that he was the only fellow in step all the way. At Twenty-third street we passed the reviewing stand where Mayor Mitchell bowed pleasantly to our right-end man, Kenneth Low. Our leaders kept saying Guide right - Steady on the left - Keep in step and like phrases more or less military-mostly less. Our commanders meant well, but we would have forgiven them had they not worked quite so hard. Thi rty-four Our only mark of distinction was a Manual arm-band which each 0116 of us wore on his left arm. Shipman, however, was conspicuous as the only member of the brigade with a straw hat which he managed to preserve through the day by dint of great care. We disbanded at Fifty-seventh street and Park avenue at a quarter to eight. Having had one first taste of war we returned to our several homes and enjoyed our right to the pursuit of happiness, which in this case after our march consisted of a good square meal. Among those present were: Messrs. Low, Martin, Garnaus, Gomes, Hurley, Gedney, Shipman, Gomes, Hurley, Green, Levine, Niven, Selverstone and Helwig. , The Seventh and Eighth Grades. United we stand, divided we fall, is the Seventh and Eighth grade motto for the boat ride. Finding the Cepheus had very spacious engine rooms, we lowered our senioric dignity sufficiently to conde- scend to invite the Seventh Grade to accompany us. VVhat kind 'of time did We have? Well, we don 't really know as yet. To solve this Eternal Mystery compare our weather forecasts for June 8 with the Sun, Forecast ....... .... ......... l T am.

Since the members of the Poster Ulub have been working hard all winter, they felt that a trip to Bear Mountain on June Q10 would ease their aching lingers and give their tired brains new inspirations. Nothing but a delightful time eould be the result. The electrical interests of the coun- try have arranged for an electrical week in lleeember. The connnittee has of'fered numerous prizes for the best posters to advertise this event. The competition will be open to pro- fessionals as well as amateurs. Those of'f'ered to high sehool students range up to fifty dollars. Many of the mem- bers have already started. The German Club. NVould you like to take a short journey to Deutschland some Monday afternoon? Embark about 3.15 P. M. to port 235, walk down the gangplank and behold, you will hear a babble of foreign sounds, for here only German is spoken. Probably you would then like to see how the German theatres rehearse their plays. Without any further travelling or expense, a German masterpiece written by the noted play- write, Fraulein Pignol, will be enacted before you. lf you should then wish to see it played in the town's opera house, there will be a performance 011 May 22, in Room 231.

Pepperlein ...... Miss Salway In Deutschland, you know, the stu- dents like to finish an afternoon with games, and much enjoyment is pro- duced at some of the mistakes of the newest immigrants. The Debating' Society. As this is the last issue of the Pros- pect, the soeiety wishes to give a sum- mary of the year's work. NVe will begin by thanking all the teachers who have in any way eon- tributed to our welfare as judges of debates or as advisers. Their kind and generous assistance has been heartily appreciated. The society started the year with eleven members and finishes with fifty- three. XVe regret that ten will be lost by graduation. The inter-year debates held under our auspices were successful in promo- Thirty-five ting a great deal of interest in public speaking. We have given twelve see- ond prize medals, and six first. More medals are promised for next term. The French Club. Miss Maginn has been offered a medal by L'Alliance Francaise, for the member of Le Cercle Francaise who has been most faithful in attendance and who has done the best work in French conversation and in the acting and reciting of French plays and poems. The club has been entertained by a French boy who lately came to this country from France. Monsieur Jac- quet and other members have also very kindly recited poems and related stories in French. There will be a prize given to a member of the grad- uating class who has done the best work in the club. Miss Maginn plans to entertain members of the club in the near future at her home, with French songs on a phonograph. Camera Club. The Camera Club has been so in- dustrious that Brooklyn views are al- most exhausted. Accordingly, they are planning a trip up the Hudson to West Point. Here they expect to get many good pictures of the surrounding country. Annex Art Club. The Art Club of the Boys' Annex has accomplished a great deal of work this term. Two cover designs for the Prospect contest received honorable mention. The members are now busily engaged in painting designs on glove boxes and their family coat-of-arms on Thirty-six plaques. There is much interesting work still to be done. At any time come in Mr. Frerick's room and you will sec us working busy as bees. The Model-Building Boat Club. The date for the annual regatta of the Model-Building Boat Club has been definitely set and unless something un- foreseen happens, will be on Friday June 9. For students who expect to join next fall, be wise-join now. You can then become acquainted with the methods and works of the club and have all next year for actual boat building. Be prepared! Mr. Brundage in Room 142 is always willing to give any desired informa- tion or advice concerning the club. 'Till We Meet Again. Sir Vance, '16 Old friend, I'm going-sorry to, But it 's my duty now to leaveg I've spent some happy hours with you, Not many sad ones, I believe. Four years and more we've been together, W'e've often met, sunshine or rain, We never seemed to mind the weather, Farewell, real friend-we'll meet again. Manual, I'll merely say So-long -again we 'll meet, we twog I did enjoy you every day, Old friend, I'm going-sorry too! One of the girls who takes cooking fwe shall not name herl, was asked.

Manual, 1, Erasmus, 4. Vllaite Hoyt of Erasmus let flown the Manual batters without a hit or a run. The lone tally which Manual got was obtained before Hoyt stepped into the box. lt was in the first in- ning and Hecker, the Manual lead-off man, cracked out a double. Phillips was put out and Rorty drove one to right. The first baseman fumbled it and Heeker was safe at third and Rorty at First. Labrovich then hit a Thirty-eight long sacrifice fly, on which Hecker scored with the only Manual tally of the game. All this while Davison was pitching, but when Manual scored the run, Hoyt was put in and held Manual hitless for the rest of the game. Sheridan gave Erasmus five hits dur- ing the five innings he pitched and then Rorty went in and held his op- ponents hitless. Manual errors figured largely in the opponents' runs. Swain played a wonderful game, he caught Sheridan and Rorty in excel- lent fashion, and his throwing to sec- ond basc prevented any pilfering. Of the five hits that Erasmus made, three were two-baggers, showing with what force they hit the ball and thus fur- nishing an excellent reason for the three errors Manual made. The score : Manual ...................... 1 0 0 0 0 0 0-1 Erasmus .................... 0 0 0 3 1 O 0-4 ' Manual, 33 Commercial, 2. Pat Sheridan 's masterful pitching and Phillips' timely hit were enough to subdue Commercial in a hard- fought game. The four measly singles, which the Commercial sluggers sue- ceeded in getting, came at the right moment however, and drove in two runs. ln the fifth inning Manual scored erongh runs to win the game. Jueeam was hit by one of MeCormick's shoots and moved along on Mclnness' hit on an error. Hecker walked and then Phillips scored three men by his hit and an error. Eleven strike-outs were the result of Sheridan 's labors, one less than Hereules'. Rorty played a fine game at short- stop, while Phillips starred at second with an overhead catch and again with a subway catch of Labrovich's low throw of a hunt. The change of put- ting Labrovich at third and Rorty at short and Hooker in conterficld scems to be having good results, and Dr. Aldridge, the coach, will probably stick to it.

Manual did not succeed in gaining a decision over New Utrecht, formerly called Bay Ridge, but held her own. Both teams scored four runs in the first inning. Hecker singled, stole sec- ond, and reached third on Phillips' ily, which was muffed. Rorty knocked in lleeker, and made a double steal with Phillips, who scored a moment later on Labrovieh's hit on an error. Swain was out, but Sheridan's hit was thrown wild and seored Phillips. Sheridan scored on more errors a moment later. lint Manual did not let up and in the seeond inning scored two more runs. lleeker hit his seeond single hut was foreed out by Phillips, who worked a double steal with liorty and hoth seored on liabrovieh's timely single. New l'treeht tied the seore in the sixth on a hit, a saerifiee and two errors. Rorty held his opponents safe after that and none of them reached first again: he struek out nine batters. Rorty, Phillips and Hamilton pulled off a nice double play, which cut off a possible rally. Hooker got two of Manual's five hits, Labrovich, Mcln- ness and Hamilton each hit one.

Manual put the lid on Boys' High and won the game with seve11 runs in two innings. Boys' High started right in the first inning and put two runs across the platter. Manual came back with one run in the second, but Boys' High increased the lead by two runs in thc third, making it 4 to 1. Manual knocked another run across the pan in the fourth. ln the fifth Manual hung up two runs, but Boys' High did not lose the opportunity to get the same number and another the follow- ing inning. Then the score stood 7 to 4. But Boys' High was playing with tire, and she must have known it too, for in the sixth she had lessened her harvest and in the seventh had made it nil, hoping to escape Manual's wrath. ln the eighth inning the smol- dering tire broke into a flame and seorehed Boys' lligh so that she was unprepared in the ninth to stem the mounting tongue of fire and suc- eumhed in Manual's burning emhraee. The Manual hitters got thirteen wallops during the nine innings. Mc- lnness and Swain led with three wal- lops apieeeg then came Heeker and Sheridan with two and Phillips, Rorty Thirty-nine and Halleck with one. Sheridan struck out eight opponents. The score: Manual ........ 010120034-11 BoysHigh .... 202021000-9 Manual, 1, Poly, 0. Rorty held the Poly sluggers runless for seven innings and allowed them only three hits. His con1'ident and thoroughly effective pitching mowed the batters down inning after inning. Only in the third round did Poly threaten and the errors were the cause of that. Three batters filled the bases with the aid of errors and then three more proceeded to go out because of the excellent work of Manual. One grounded to Rorty who forced the man out at home. The next tried the same trick but failed, for Hamilton threw the runner out, and the third struck out. Hecker opened the sixth with a single which was fumbled. Phillips landed on the ball good and hard, and it sailed way over the left fielder's head. Hecker reached home, while Phillips was held at second. Rorty and Mc- Inness got Manual's only other hits, but they failed to do any good. Rorty struck out eight opponents and fielded his difficult position well. The score: Manual .......... ........ 0 0 0 O 0 1 0-1 Poly ............................ 0000000-0 Manual, 135 Bushwick, 3. In a good old-time swatfest, the Manual sluggers slammed out seven- teen hits for a total of twenty-five bases and 13 runs. The ground rules both helped and hindered our men, helped by making doubles 'out of sin- gles and hindered by making doubles out of possible triples and homers. Forty Swain led the battle line with three fine two-baggers, Labrovich was next with two doubles and a single and Mclnness third with three singles. Sheridan, Phillips and Rorty each banged out a single and a double, while Hecker and Halleck each got a hit.

Although the Second baseball team has not been heard of in the Audito- rium its fame has spread far and wide on the diamond, and the coming op- ponents have just cause to shake in their spiked shoes. The team is still undefeated and even boasts of an imaginary victory over the First Team. Among these champions there are such names as Chobot, Casazza, Hill, Jacobson, Jobin, Koch, Lahey, Levy, Moll, Nelson, Schaeffer, Stockhammer and Courtney.

The Annex baseball team has made a very auspicious start this season. The calibre of the team is such as to promise much for the season. Of the two full games already played, we won one and lost the other. In the first game, with Manual Sec- ond, we gave them a hard fight and were just nosed out at the end. We had a picked-up team, as there had not been any opportunity to choose one before. Enders pitched a very fine game, his first of the season, and deserved a vic- tory. Ross is a real find as a catcher. Dery is a Wonder at short-stop and Pcrinc will develop into an excellent first-baseman with a little coaching. In the second game, the first of a series of three with our old rival, Ryer- son Street Annex of Commercial, we pulled through with the assistance of Courtney, after our opponents had reached Enders for a few timely hits. Courtney held them almost hitless, while our boys went on and won the game. The feature of the game was the hitting of Seaberg, who made two home runs and two singles out of five times at bat, and drove in five runs. That's what we call hitting. The final score was 11 to 8. NVe have games scheduled with St. Augustines, St. John's Prep, Erasmus Second, Euclid School, two more with Ryerson Annex, another with Manual Second. The rest of the squad, not mentioned above, includes Parisi, Scott, Becker, Birdsall, Peterson, Evers, Kiernan, Im- periale and Bacile. L ca rs' 157' ETK5 C, .

Ruth Lenfest is captain of the Basket Ball Team at Adelphi College, while Margaret Mc-Cabe, and Lillian Breuer, Feb. '16, also former basket ball stars, have accepted business positions. Since there are so many plays given in honor of the Shakesipearean Ter- eentenary and since then is so much heard of Dramaties lately, in school, it is fitting that we speak of the com- paratively large number who are either studying, acting or who are al- ready full-fiedged actors.

Although you are one of our best exchanges, there is one line in which we think you could improve. The articles in your Literary Depart- ment are certainly worthy of com- mendation, but the cuts illustrating them are far below the standard. Your cartoons and jokes were exceedingly funny and we enjoyed reading them very much. The Annex number of the Blue and Gold was most interesting from cover to cover. Your many advertisements show that your student body is not lazy when it comes to finding them. Your cover design, although very simple, is very neat and attractive. The stories are all very interesting and most of the cuts illustrating them are worthy of praise. Daisy, your issue for May was a very good one on the whole. But one thing we would suggest, namely that the printing, used on the cover design, be done more carefully in the future. AN AMERICAN CONTEMPORARY. We have lately received a copy of an American school magazine, which we presume to be typical of most other scholastic publications across the water. For one English school maga- zine is very similar to another, even though its standard may be higher or lower, but we venture to say that an impartial critic would consider them all fundamentally alike. Therefore we take The Prospect of the Manual Train- ing High School not as an individual magazine but as a type of school maga- zines, which in many ways excels those of England, but which is, to an Eng- lish mind, very often inferior. If one were to glance casually at it, one could not fail to observe that it was a production of the United States, and by no conceivable stretch 'of imagi- nation could one associate it with Great Britain or her Colonies. Perhaps an American would as easilv perceive the nationality of an English school maga- zine, we cannot say, but certainly doubt its being so marked. Undoubtedly, the printing and paper are far superior to what one sees in this country, but it is apparent that the magazine is a business concern, and we do not think an English school magazine is. Some certainly take ad- vertisements, but a footnote does not beg the readers, to mention when dealing with advertisers. The adver- tisements we hope never to see in any of our English contemporaries. The Editor-in-Chief must also share his laurels with the Business Manager and the Advertisement and the Assistant Advertisement Editors. h however, is to be found in an American magazine than in an English one, but perhaps this is be- cause the school itself is mixed, In- deed, the contents range from a foot- ball story Cin which the hero is the cheer leader, an individual, we are glad to say, entirely unknown on an English teamj to a description of a Votes for Wonien procession, in which several members of the school took part. We must praise particularly one fea- ture in the magazine of New York, and it is a feature which we in England lack in our school magazines. Part of the magazine is of a humorous nature, and a Jokes Editor is responsible for it. Doubtless at times his efforts are feeble, but some of his witticisms are clever, and probably all are appreciated A Forty-Hve by the school. It is a relief to find something genuinely meant to be face- tious, which does not interfere with the more staid articles. The same praise can be given to the cartoons, some of which seem pointless, while others show merit. Some space in the magazine is de- voted to testimonials which have been written about the previous number. This may be to encourage people to write Cmay they be more successful than weij, but it is suspiciously like praising oneself. The cover of the magazine ap- parently varies with each issue, and although the design itself is well drawn, it would be suitable for any periodical, not necessarily scholastic. It is perhaps not fair to criticise the literary merit, since we know so little of those who have produced it, but we cannot help remarking on the some- what exaggerated style which is often used, .at least, we hope it is a hyperbole to describe a losing football team as being Hdejeeted, broken-hearted be- cause they could not win more honor for their school. Some had tears of chagrin in their eyes. These huge, tow- ering fellows, whom he had seen play- ing so gamely, were actually crying, crying bcause they could not win more glory and renown for their school. If this is the condition of the average American team after losing a match, we can only offer our respect, sympathy, and rejoice that our football, cricket, hockey or badminton teams are not similarly affected. To sum up this magazine in its en- tirety, we can only compare it with the well-known curate's egg-good in parts and say that what there is good is very good, and what we, from our Eng- Forty-six lish standpoint think bad, is horrid. Therefore, if we admit that it is a very fair production, we must adhere to our already-expressed opinion that we humbly prefer our own. -The Magazine of the City of London, School for Girls.

Bloomer, 8A-213 When I was a little freshman, A long long time ago, I used to be in 241, A shop as you all know. Our prefect was a little man Who ate his lunch downstairs, And left us in there all alone With saws and tools and chairs. We used to run the great big saw To see the saw-dust fly, We used to run the little lathe And throw it right in high, And while we ate our custard pies Sometimes we'd have a fight, The custard pie would Hy around, The room was one fine sight. One day we tried an experiment, To see how far would go A nice big juicy soft cream puff With one good mallet blow.

The following essay was handed in by one of our freshmen. lt really should take first prize but wasn't short enough. Shakespeare was a man. lie was born three days before he was baptized in the year 1564. The house in which he was born is now a public museum. llis father was a stock-broker and made a large fortune, but lost it before he died. There were five boys in the Shakespeare family and each one had a sister making six children in all. When he was nineteen he married a woman. ller name was, with little doubt, Anne Hathaway. She lived in a hamlet Avon. This is probably why Shake- spere wrote the play lIa1nlet. Shakespeare wrote many stories and plays. The names of these are Much Ado about Nothingfi etc. These plays were written between the ages of thir- ty-eight and forty-two when his genius was full. All these plays were pro' duced for the London theatres. Many of them were turned off hurriedly. Certainly no other writer did so much work in his whole life as Shakespeare did in six years.
