x- r Q , iismbiwkcs if ' f t M WW ' Hutchsonian Ballad V 'Twas in the days when Maplewood Was scouring moor and glen To gain, with pen and written word Hutchsonian subs again. I'hey made a covenant with the staff To leave no means untried, Nor e'er to break their plighted word Whatever might betide. In jolly groups they gathered In classrooms every eve To count the new subscriptions They daily did receive. And one group was from Oslo- Norwegians strong and bold. They toured the ocean highways And brought home chests of gold. From Cairo in old Egypt Came King Tut's friends of yore. They even canvassed mummies ' And gained a goodly store. The little Japs of Tokio Were quick and sly and clever. You never saw the Japs left out- No never, never, never! As India led by Ghandi- Bombay was led by Art. To gather in subscriptions They bravely did their part. Old Sidney wasn't slow at all, When they'd a task, they'd do it. They thought, and truly, that to win, Each member must stick to it. -1-rung-nl flf 7 A ' '-gap. O C 6 Q 73

In spite of the fact that there is a universal depression in the if Ti financial world, the Querist Club and the academic classes of Maple- W 3, wood have given the Hutchsonian a splendid circulation. The hard times have not prevented the annual from going to more than twelve states in LL the Union, and to two provinces in Canada. This degree ol success can be attributed to the loyalty and co-operation of both faculty and student body throughout the campaign. ' The school was divided into ten groups, each group receiving the name of some prominent city. Three prizes were held out as incentives to a spirited effort on the part of the groups to win. The first prize, an entertainment at the Castle, was awarded to the Moscow group-winners with ninety-four subscriptions. Glasgow won second place with fifty-five subscriptions entitling them to a waffle supper. Bagdad received the third prize, a marshmallow roast, with fifty subscriptions. In addition to the group prizes, four individual prizes were given. The first prize, a twenty-five dollar wrist watch, was awarded to Elmer Martinsong the second prize, a bridge lamp, to Alma Sparrowgthe third prise,aset of book ends,, to Salisbury Zytkoskeeg the fourth prize, a copy of the Hutchsonian, to Irwin Campbell. For seven weeks the campaign was conducted with chapel exercises devoted to the interest of the Hutchsonian, poster displays in the corridors, entertain- ments in the dining room, and, finally, a school-wide tag day. Activities came to a close on Sunday night, April 5, at eight-thirty o'clock. The circulation department and the Querist Club wish to tha'nk all who have contributed to the success of this effort in promoting a school annual.

. K f .X .M wi' -If inlwhxwmsgs if 'X of WWW g ' From Capetown trooped a jolly crowd With money in their pockets. They blazed Hutchsonian on the sky With brilliant, coloreld rockets. The Bagdad folks wore turbans And blew a mystic bubbleg And scores of subs they gathered in Without a bit of trouble. Of Copenhagen's Danish crowd We had not seen the last, For history shows accomplishments Of Danes were always vast. Now Glasgow has its castles- Though Red did somewhat doubt it, But if the Scotchmen won the prize He'd say no more about it. Though Moscow's anarchistic They worked with vim and vigor To raise that old thermometer Up past the highest figure. At last the campaign ended, The final gong was rung, The final sub was counted, The victors' names were sung. And o'er the whole earth's surface Hutchsonians told the tale That Maplewood had hustlers Who simply wouldn't fail. -E. M. Hartzell. ,. 74 ,143
