Dena Barnes, Elizabeth THE M MA DILLAR-A DOLLAR' By DOROTHY WHITBECK, '29 HSPRING STYLES FOR MEN -that reminded Denny that he must get a suit for the J. S.-and also, that he hadn't asked a girl, That light suit was pretty classy, but it ought to be something a little more formal, and anyway, Denny thought he never looked quite the same in a suit as did the handsome window beau. Hats, too--but what prices for feeble pocketbooksl Distraction came in the form of Drusilla Landis, whom no one had ever nick-named Si1ly. She was a small energetic brunette, and the boys at school all seemed to be willing to admit they weren't gentlemen, for she was notice- ably preferred Why was it Denny's heart took a flip-flop every time he saw her? It made his teeth chatter, so that he could never say anything clever or funny as his boy friends did, Miserably he realized that she had seen him, and he was caught off guard, with nothing to talk about but the weather. Beautiful-er-lovely day, isn't it? This with a hopeful look which asked her to change the subject, but it was his unlucky day. Yes, it is lovely, but rather warm to be standing out in the sun, or run- ning around without rest. Denny smiled, wordlessly apologizing for the awful sun, and then a bright, original thought popped into his head. Won't you join me in re-refreshments at Owens? This came out before he meant it to, and he was rather surprised at his audacity. Drusilla, however, was very sweet, and accepted, thinking how blue his eyes were when he blushed that way. It sent little chills down her back. They went to an upstairs booth, and seated themselves. Denny, looking at Drusilla, decided that she had the loveliest face he'd ever seen: such pretty black eyes, and such nice white teeth. Drusilla noted with delight his little mannerisms, and the way his hair curled around his temples-it looked so cute, or something. if Halfway through, Denny wondered, ought he to purchase candy? Did he have enough money? He dug into one pocket, and then with a very blank expression, began a painstaking exploration of all his pockets. To his dismay, they yielded but one thin dime! What to do? lf he knew Drusilla better, he might explain, but somehow he just couldn't. He thought of shouting PoliceI of stabbing himself with his knife, and sundry devices for making a getaway, but in such an emergency they seemed silly. He was neglecting his ice cream, and Drusilla, noting this and his pained expression, glanced covertly into the booth mirror. The sight of a large palm, in which rested a very tiny looking dime, explained the situation to her. But what could she do? If she offered Denny money, he would feel hurt or might refuse, and there was no way out gracefully. She turned to her ice cream with a remark which tried to be bright, but which fell flat. Together they gulped in strained silence. In a last desperate glance around fto discover a hole in which to hidej Denny espied-could it be? A dollar billl Miracle age, we welcome thee! Denny was potentially honest, but you know how it is in a case like that. Securing the bill, he felt so full of high spirits, he came to the conclusion that Drusilla was the girl for him, and he would honor her by asking her to the J. S. with him! She accepted, and they left the shop like old friends. That evening Drusilla's sister called her: Drussy, be a nice girl and lend me four bits for the show-all the girls are going. Sorry, old dear, smiled Drusilla, but I spent my last buck today. But, she reflected, it was worth a Bid from Dennis Hewitt. Page Five T II E M LOYALTY By ERVIN SCHULZ, '29 Bob Atherton had a feeling that he was not in for a pleasant interview as he entered Mr. Wheeler's oiice. Bob was editor-in-chief of the Western Eagle, the student newspaper of West High School, and was one of the two leading candidates for president of the Student Council-the other was Jack Benton, the business manager of the Eagle Where were you last evening, Bob? the principal asked. Why-why I worked on the 'Eagle' until almost eight o'clock. Didn't you go home for dinner? Yes, but I came back. Was there anyone else in the 'Eagle' room with you? Why, yes, Miss Kelland was here in the afternoon, and in the evening Jane was helping me. It might be explained here that Jane Wilson was one of the most popular girls in the school, a member of the Student Council and of the Eagle staff --and one of Bob's most ardent backers in the council presidency campaign. Was Miss Kelland here until you left in the afternoon? No, sir, she left at about four o'clock and I stayed about an hour and a half longer. Did you go right home? Why, yes. 'AAre you sure? Well, I stopped at the Sheldon Printing Co. What did you do there? Why-a--I paid for the posters we're using in the campaign. How much were they? Bob was quite bewildered. I-Ie hardly knew whether to answer or not. I-Iowever he did so. 'AThree dollars. Three dollars, Why didn't you tell me right away that you stopped there instead of saying that you went right home? 'AWhy-I didn't think that you would want to know that-and+and I had almost forgotten it myself, But you went right home then?I' Yes. What did you do between the time you left school until you returned besides stopping at Sheldon's? Tell me in detail. 'AMr. Wheeler, would you please tell me why you are asking me all these questions? '4Don't you know? I'll tell you shortly. I'll answer that and any other questions you may want to ask, but first you must answer mine. Now tell me everything that happened. Well, I went home and while I was there some of the kids called up and wanted Jane and me to come-to join a-a little theater party, Jane and I were going anyway, so I told them to call for us at a quarter' to eight. Well, I stopped at Jane's and then we came up to school together. Was the door of the 'Eagle' room locked? 'AYes, sir. ' 'AI-Iad you locked it when you left? Yes, I'm pretty sure I did. And you locked it when you left in the evening? I think so. 4 4 Page S ix THE MU You're the only one who has a key to the AEagle' room besides Miss Kelland, aren't you I'm supposed to be. You were in the room when Jack and Miss Kelland counted the money, weren't you? Yes, sir. Do you know how much there was? Eh-no, sir. I was busy making up the page and didn't notice. Was anyone in the room besides you three at that time or after that? UNO, sir. No one was in the room and only Jane was in after that. The principal stopped and thought a minute. A'Bob, you've always been honest and truthful, and we've trusted you with large sums of money when you were a manager and I can't believe you're guilty. but your own testimony and some other evidence which I have been given, points very strongly toward it. Perhaps you can explain why nine dollars, the entire paper money, is missing this morning? A'Missing? Money missing- Bob turned pale. He saw his council presidency hopes shattered and foresaw himself branded as a thief. By questioning other members of the previous evening's party, the prin- cipal learned that Bob had broken a five dollar bill and had been very free with his money. At the end of the third period Bob asked if he might go to his locker. Mr. Wheeler gave permission to do so but told him that he should come back. Jane kept some of her books in Bob's locker as it was near her fourth period class. Each day at the end of third period she came to his 'locker at the be- ginning of fourth. Jane was later than usual this day and Bob thought that she wasn't coming. Finally she came down the hallgtalking and laughing with-Jack Benton. Aren't you kind of late? Bob asked her when she came to the locker. Well, I won't bother you any more, she told him curtly, I'll keep my books myself, and I don't think I can go to the dance with you tomorrow night. Bob jerked the locker open, but didn't even look inside of it. Jane reached for her books, but stopped short. Say, what's this? she asked, holding up a key. Bob and Jack jumped forward. It looks like the 'Eagle' room key, Bob said, 'ibut it can't beg I have mine. He looked into his key purse. Yes, the Eagle room key was there. 'Compare them. They look pretty much alike, Jack told Bob. Bob held them together. Yes, they were identical, A'Well, that seems mighty funny-aespecially after last night's occurrence, Jack informed him. Bob didn't have to be told that possessing a duplicate key was not going to help him any. 'Butfbut it isn't mine, he began. Aw, tell that to your grandmother, Jane called back to him as she strolled down the hall, her arm linked in Jack's, So Jane was against him, too. Bob hadn't thought that she would turn against him at a time like this. Well, he was about done for at West. Jack would become president of the Council. and Bob was sure that he would be asked to resign from the Council and from the A'Eagle staff. Everybody would be against him. Just as these thoughts were rushing through his mind Al I-Iern, his campaign manager, came up. A'Say, Bob, what's all this about your stealing the 'Eagle' money? Have you heard about it, too? Why, it's all over the school. 8,1 Page Seven THE M Yeh? Well, I guess we might as well give up. I haven't a chance to win now. The election's tomorrow. Oh, come on, Bob. You didn't do it, did you? Well, then what we've got to do is to get busy and prove that you're innocent. But everything's against me. I paid the bill for the posters and had a five dollar bill last night, and I was the only one in the room. Well, what of it? With Jane's help we can easily put it over. That's just it. Jane's against me, too. She's, gone over to Jack's side. What? Yes, it's the truth. Gosh! Well, we'l1 have to put it over ourselves then. Come on down to the 'Eagle' room and talk it over. Say, listen, Bob! I bet that's some of Art's work. I-Ie'd be just the one to do something like that. You and he never were friends and he'd do anything in order to help Jack win. Well, he might, but what difference does it make? There's nothing to show that he did it, and it's all against me. But, gosh, Bob! You aren't going to let them get away with that stuff. are you? Oh, forget about it! I'm done, that's all. Say, Bob, we just simply can't let them do it. We've got to do some- thing about it! Well, what are we going to do? Just then the bell rang. Meet me after school and we'l1 figure it out. Bob went back to the office, but Mr. Wheeler was not there, so he sat down to wait for him. I-Ie sat alone in the office the whole period. At the beginning of the seventh period Jane came into the office. Oh, hello, Bob. Where's Mr. Wheeler? Say, listen, Bob, you aren't mad about what happened this noon, are you? Well, why shouldn't I be? Just then Mr. Wheeler came in. Did you wish to see me, Jane? Yes, sir, I did. Bob, just step into the outer ofiice a few minutes, please. No, let him stay here, Mr. Wheeler. It's about him that I want to see you. Bob didn't take that money. Bob looked up in surprise. It was Jack Berton and Art Jolsort, Jack's campaign manager. What evidence have you? Jack told me so, himself. Are you sure of that, young lady? It's a serious charge, I never knew that you and Jack were friends. We we'ren't, but this morning I got very friendly with Jack in order to make him tell. Then I snubbed Bob in front of Jack in order to make it look as if I was really mad at him. When he opened the locker, we found a duplif cate key to the 'Eagle' room-and the rest was easy. But what made you suspect Jack? I saw him sneak the key into Bob's locker through the ventilation open- ing. Bob, I want to congratulate you. I couldn't believe that you were guilty even though everything pointed toward you. And, Jane, I don't know what to say to you, but I'll always be proud to say that you were one of my students. The next evening there was a long and loud applause as Jane entered the hall with the new Council president-Bob Atherton. u U u Page Eight '- .1 1 ' f' ill U llllllg, Q!

X 5 I S D b A T11 E M A NEAR TRAGEDY By REGINA BLACKOWSKI, '29 Mary and Jane had gone about together, ever since their nurses had pushed them around side by side in their respective perambulato-rs. They had shared everything from hair-ribbons to beaus, and, as Jane ruefully said, even the measles. These two were as unlike as Clara Bow and Lindy, Cnot that they resembled either remotelyj. Mary was as sweet and simple as her name, while Jane was fiery and hot-tempered. But in spite of these differences, they were as close as a Scotchman with a nickel, and well nigh as inseparable. They were both popular with the younger set about town, so it was natural for them to be invited to the Country Club dance. And thereby hangs a tale. This was to be a welcome dance for Miles Henderson, a new arrival in town. No one knew very much about him, but the girls raved about his manly beauty, and the boys rated him a 'Agood fellow -hence the occasion for mak- ing whoopee. It was with many a thrill and with wildly beating hearts that Mary and Jane acknowledged their introduction to Miles. Each secretly won- dered how the movies could possibly have missed him. Henderson divided his dances equally between them Cthey were by far the best dancers at the Clubj. Although he may have been flattered by their evident interest, he nevertheless apparently regarded them as mere children. The next day Mary ran over to Jane's house, her eyes dancing, and her face lighted up. Oh Jane, she exclaimed, bursting into the living-room, where Jane and Don were heatedly arguing, 'AI-I have something to tell you. Little Girl, Don arose and frowned impressively, Hplease do not inter- rupt us. We were discussing whether or not there is a hereafter for dogs and cats. , .,.. .1 . Jane promptly squelched him with a superior glance. Why all the excitement? he questioned. f'Did your great-aunt die and leave you a fortune? Or maybe yofu're in love? Love, striking a dramatic pose, 'Ais a funny feeling you feel when you feel a funny feeling that you never felt before. And- But the girls had left the room already. f'Girls give me a pain, he remarked as he settled down to read a book. Meanwhile, a frosty silence hung in Jane's room, where the girls had gone. Both girls, it seems, had confessed that they were in love. Each had reached the advanced age of sixteen. But the crash came when they realized that they were in love with the same man, Miles Henderson. Jane, of course, staged a fiery outburst, and Mary, after the above mentioned frosty silence, left in a huff. This was the beginning of the end of their friendship. At every party or dance they avoided each other, and fought quite openly for the attention of one man. At first Miles regarded them with the amused tolerance a parent assumes toward an unruly child, but later with increasing uneasiness. At last he consulted Don, who, so he boasted, understood women. and therefore had nothing to do with them. The consultation soon bore fruit. Time passed. One day Don hauled out his Collegiate, and ordered his sister in, then drove to Mary's house. After a period of furious horn-honking, Mary appeared. The chariot waits without, my lady. Without what? questioned Mary nervously. 'fAwright, wisecracker, just ease yourself in next to my beloved sister. At first Mary refused, but at Don's stern command, she Hnally seated her- self next to Jane. They drove awhile in stony silence, then- Page Eleven THE M Beautiful weather, don't you think? No answer. MyI What chatterboxes you children are! Still no answer. They rode in this state until they reached the railway station. The train was just pulling in. Cast your eyes in yon direction, commanded Don with an eloquent wave of his hand toward the station platform. There, to their joy, they saw none- other than Miles Henderson. But their rapture was short lived, A smae11 blond girl stepped off the train, and with a glad exclamation, Miles clasped her in his arms. The girls looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never dreamed that Miles might have another sweetheart. So astonished were they that Don's mischievous smile and sly nod at Miles passed unnoticed. Do you see? queried Don, turning to the girls. They evidently did: for with arms around each other they had already started to walk home. The next day there was an item in the paper, announcing the arrival of Doris Henderson who was to spend the week-end with her brother, Miles. At the end of that time, they were both going to return to the city, Miles' busi- ness being over. So the small blond girl was only his sister, but it was too late now. Jane and Mary had long since reached the decision that sweetheart or sister, no man was worth the price of a broken friendship between them. Girls, remarked sophisticated Don, as he Hnished reading the news item, are awful dumb. They give me a pain.

Page Twelve THE MU BEAUTY AND ME By DQROTHY WHITBECK, '29 That heading doesn't mean anything--no one ever associates the two. It's just one of life's paradoxes that I should know something about acquir- ing looks. As this is about human beauty-or lack of it-I've tried to decide whether I ought to start at the legs and work up, start at the hair and work down, or start in the middle and broaden out. The latter I happen to be do- ing personally-but that's another story. I think I'll start at the most im- portant item-the figure, and the reduction of it. You may laugh at woman's dieting and doing the high-kick so that she'll represent a broom handle, but there isn't a man who won't pull his coat tight to show his slender hips, or wear knickers to display his shapely legs--if he has them. Man will never understand the real tragedies of woman's life. I've spent hours rotating my legs madly in air, as I counted one, two, Cpuffj one, two- and do I measure any less in yardage of circumference? I've walked perfect miles on my toes Without resting-are my ankles willowy? I've lifted suites of furniture thousands of time CI may exaggeratej but are my arms tenderly rounded? Now for faces. Sadly I admit that those on magazine covers are in the minority. The only- skin I'd love to touch is that of a fox-around my neck: I've tried to ward off a bad complexion by reaching for a Lucky instead of a sweet, but all I've been rewarded by is a slap on the fingers. My girl friend had been sick, and I went to see her. My dear! I cried at first sight, You're deathly pale-what is it? Anxiety must have been in my face, for she laughed, and told me not to worry. You see, it's only my complexion,-mask. I'm not sure, but I think a better way would be to apply a porous plaster to the face, and when it is pulled off-no skin, no skin troubles. However, I haven't tried it, for I've been more interested in my expression. Honestly, you know, a girl with pearly teeth like mine ought to laugh oftener, but fat cheeks don't improve the picture. I read in the Cogwheel that sleeping on a collar button would pro- duce a dimple. I didn't have a collar button, so I used my finger-I couldn't write for a Week afterward. I've heard surgeons can make permanent dimples -I guess they cut out a patch of skin and sew the hole together. I wouldn't risk that, though, for it'd be just my luck to have them knot the thread, and my dimple would be a wart. Still. if a girl has beautiful hair, that is enough. l've eaten burnt crusts till my stomach is black, and does my hair curl? I got upi courage to have it permanented, and now it resembles the mane of a rocking horse, after three kids with carmelly fingers have been ighting over it. And yet--and yet- you should have seen it before. Music By LORRAINE Gow, '29 Upon the stillness of the night I hear the music of the breeze: It plays upon a mellow harp Fashioned from the leafiess trees. The music of past centuries Soft and low it plays for me- The winging birds add to the wind A lonely, broken melody!

ON WHAT TO DO AFTER GRADUATION By REGINA BLACKowsK1, '29 At last, after six years of hard work and constant study, I'm ready to graduate. Am I dumb? Of course not! But, just like a married man, I'm not understood. And now comes a disturbing thought into my once peaceful mindw-what to do after graduation? Of course, I want to work. Do I know what kind of a job I want? Oh, yes, it rnust be easy, and command a large salary. I suppose I have some talent Cit's obviously hidden thoughj. Sing? Well, to tell the truth, most of my experience in that line has been acquired in the bathtub. How about Art? CI blushj. Oh, you mean Art in the sense of drawing? I imagine I could draw modernistically. That is very simple- just draw one thing, label it another, and there you are. But I hear to be a really smart artist, one must turn Bohemian and eat in small Italian restaurants, and as I simply abhor spaghetti, I guess that's out. Nursing is also a splen- did vocation: but nurses wear white uniforms, and white is not at all becom- ing to me. I suppose I could be someone's secretary, but I haven't a head for business. Ask Dad, he knows! Bookkeeping is out of the question. Height always makes me dizzy, and the tall columns of Hgures used in bookkeeping are really appalling. Amelia and Trudie have beat me in the new worlds to conquer am- bition. Amelia flew across the ocean, and the latter swam the Channel. I really could swim the Atlantic CI don't recall its having been done beforej if it weren't for one thing-I don't know how to swim. I planned to make an expedition to the North or South pole, but Dorothy claims I would talk the Eskimos to death. . This really leaves me only two alternatives+I shall either go to darkest Africa and teach the natives the Bendola, or go to College. I don't know much about Africa fl never was very good in geographyj but I know that College is a place where one wears a coon coat, joins a sorority, goes to Junior balls and Senior proms, and writes to Dad in between times for money. My folks declare I'm quite an expert at the last, so I guess it's College for me. My future is decided!!!! Page Fifteen THE MU ALL WET By CLIFFORD JOHNSON, '29 The morning was grey and damp, Everything was sodden and stiff from frozen dew. An autumnal sun half-heartedly tried to shine behind a veil of grey snow or rain clouds. Boats were scarce and the scow we had secured was the world's worst. It was about ten feet long, two feet wide, and six inches deep, a typical duck boat. It was half filled with water which we bailed out with a tin can. We laid a layer of gunny sacks on the bottom, and I got into the front. You paddle a duck boat like a canoe, so I got down on my knees, and the water joyfully gurgled through the sacks giving my pants from the knees down a perfect bath. Wild Rice Lake is choked with wild rice and bullrushes and it's not the easiest thing in the world to cross it. The boatman now gave us a long pole to help us move, and my dad being the other occupant of the ship was made chief poler. The other boat in our party was occupied by my brother and my uncle. After an hour of steady pushing, pulling, backing up, and going ahead, we reached the approximate center of the lake and stopped. As the 'sun was scheduled to rise at six o'clock and shooting did not begin until Eve-thirty o'clock, I took a richly deserved rest of fifteen minutes. At six-thirty a. m. the fireworks went off and all over the lake guns could be heard whamming away. Any ducks or hens on the lake would have died of fright. I sat up. all attention for about twenty minutes and then fell into a doze. It was beastly cold and the boat. including the handles of the paddles, was sheeted in ice. I was dreaming of fires, beautiful rosy, red fires, crackling and snapping fires, when all of a sudden my dad's gun went off with a ker-Wham and my end of the boat rose out of the water. About twenty-five feet away on the water lay a blue gray rice hen, just the color of a black eye. Thus we spent the morning pushing here and pushing there, ker-plunk- ing this and ker-plunking that until about eleven o'clock. It had been dull for about an hour and not a bird was on the wing. After spending this time admiring the gracefulness of the weeds, the wet- ness of the water, and munching a half wet ham sandwich, I decided to get up and look around. I I got to my feet all right in spite of the fact that my legs were shaking from having been bent and cramped for hours. Suddenly out of nowhere came a whirr of wings and from behind us rose a flock of mallards about ten strong. I swung half way around. put my gun to my shoulder, took aim, Iired, and quietly flopped over the end of the boat into the water while the ducks flew on their way. The water was only about two feet deep but the mud beneath it was twenty-five to its bottom. The water was covered with scum and little water flies flitted over the surface. I sank up to my waist in mud, and the water lapped against my face while the little flies succeeded in ravishing all the exposed portions of my anatomy. I yelled and my voice gurgled as my mouth Elled with water and bugs. My dad threw me the pole, which supported me some, and called to the other boat. Between the pole and boat I kept myself above water until the other boat came up. Then came the problem of raising me into the boat. This my uncle solved. My brother threw his weight on the opposite side oef their boat while my uncle, clutching hold of the seat of my trousers hoisted me up. By the time we reached the shore, my hands were shaking so that I could hardly hold the paddle and by the time I reached the house my clothes were frozen stiff. In the rosy warmth of the open fire in the living room of the farm house I sat toasting my toes and wearing the pajamas of the farmer which fit me like a tent, having decided that duck hunting was all wet.

Page Svumwe W L K Page Eighteen , , ,,,,,, , ,,, , THE MU BEAUTIFUL BUT DUMB? By DOROTHY SHAVE, '30 Peggy Page paused in her diving and swimming as she spied her chum, Marjorie Seine, running out the long dock toward her, Peg, you can never guess who just moved into that vacant cottage near us! Marj. was breathless from excitement and running. UNO, don't try. I might as well tell you. She paused dramatically, 'Bud Burns! Bud Burns! Peggy weakly sank down on the dock. This was sufficient description for her. Bud Burns, the fullback on the football team and captain of the cage team, was one of the most popular boys at school, Peg had secretly admired him, but had never known him. And now he was living only a few houses away from her! Let's go back and dress, she said with a poor attempt at casualness. HI don't feel like swimming any more anyway. That evening, as the girls started out on their customary evening stroll, a voice behind them intervened. Pardon me, but as long as we're neighbors, we ought to be friends. My name is Bud Burns. Write that on your cuff! It doesn't take three young people long to get acquainted and soon they were chatting gaily. Do you swim? asked Bud turning to Peggy. Did she swim? Well rather! She had won no less than two trophies and three medals for this accomplishment. A half-formed idea shot through Peggy's head. No, I don't, she said, with a silencing glance at the gaping Marjorie, 'ibut I would love to learn. These women! So every afternoon after that Peg received a swimming lesson from Bud. She refused to tell even Marj. what her plan was. One afternoon when she was waiting on the beach for Bud, Peg heard that much dreaded cry of swimmers, Help! Far out she could see a small head bobbing up and down. A quick survey showed her that there was no one on the beach but herself, so she took the only course. Using her powerful Australian crawl, she soon reached the child and had but little dificulty towing him in. Imagine her surprise and dismay on reaching land to see Bud running to help her with her burden! She left the child with him and ran of What he must think of her now! A liar! A cheat! I-Iow she hated herself! That evening as she sat on the front steps still thinking of the episode, she was so engrossed that she didn't hear footsteps approaching. But she did feel somebody sit down beside her. Marjorie, of course. f'Marj, she began humbly, not looking up. I'm so ashamed of my- self. 'ANow, why should you be? questioned a well-known masculine voice. 'Saving a life is not something to be ashamed of, is it? Peggy's heart began playing' such pranks that she could not answer for a minute. Finally- I think I ought to explain it all to you, she said. And so from the beginning. she told her story. Yes, she could swim, but had always heard that boys liked dumb girls, so for once in her life she had tried to be dumb. A'And look how it ended! she finished tragically. Bud did not smile, but there was a ghost of a twinkle in his blue eyes as he took her hand and said, Peg, I'm glad that you are just what you are. For a while I thought that you were just like some of those empty-headed flap- pers, beautiful, but dumb. But I should have known, that you were different. Page Nineteen THE M A JOURNEY INTO THE FUTURE The high-powered airplane manufactured by GORDON VARS, flew swiftly on its tour of the world, carrying DOLLY NEMER and ELEANORE MCALLISTER, who were doing research work for the l939 issue of Who's Who. JOE DELKOSKI, their private detective, was traveling with them, and his chief duty was to find out about the class of '29 of Mechanic Arts, as they were confident all of them were famous. As they flew over California, Eleanore, who was handling the stick, took less altitude, and Dolly leaning far over the side of the plane, adjusted her tele- scope. ALICE DANIELSON, an expert stenographer traveling with them, began to take notes on all Joe or Dolly saw. Imagine their astonishment at seeing HARVEY ST. PETER strolling around overseeing his mines while he nonchalantly smoked a GEORGE WHITE Cigar. Not far from Harvey's mines they could see a large building which proved to be a new hotel built and managed by HELMAR JOHNSON. EVELYN NEVINS had won fame as the chief cook at Helmar's hotel. MARY PETERS was singing in the hotel's main dining room during the dinner hour while LOUIS ALLAN'S orchestra played. a Flying over the State of Washington, Joe nearly fell out of the plane when he discovered a large building, which proved to be the home of Daily Whoopee Press, edited by MARION DICKMAN. Her partner and business manager was none other than PHYLLIS GRAHAME who ran around agitatedly bawl- ing out the reporters for their negligence in bringing in material. LORRAINE GOEE, who was dramatic critic on the A'Whoopee, tried to get Marion's at- tention. to protest about a printer's error in spelling that had ruined her cri- ticismf' Next to the news building is the factory of ELORENCE JONES-cos- metic manufacturer, Miss Jones hung out the window directing CLIEEORD JOHNSON how. to spell her name, as he daubed it on the window. The plane was landed on the roof of a large garage. The occupants jumped out, went to the door of the home, rang the bell and were admitted into Miss MARGA MAHOWINKLE'S huge residence. She has become fa- mous as a Bedtime Story Writer. Marga talked for quite some time and was most enthusiastic over LILLIAN LUSTMAN and BEATRICE BRAUEMAN who are famous scientists and had just completed a successful experiment, which VICTORIA FIREHAMMER, now owner of a dairy farm, was going to launch on the scientific world. After this delightful conversation, they left. They were perhaps 2,000 feet in the air, when a dreadful noise startled them. Imagine their amazement when they heard ISRAEL BLOCK yelling at the top of his voice, Right this way, folks! Right this way! Buy 'Block's Parsnip Porridge'--it is an emul sion that cures all ills, internal or external. 50c, folks, 50cl In the crowd listening to Izzy's impassioned appeal was LUCILLE MARTIN, now an eminent psychologist. She was getting material for her new book, Mob Psychology. They also saw a well dressed, trim matron hurrying her two sets of twins through the crowd. Ah! Eleanor recognized her' as KATH- LEEN whose last name used to be GIMBLE. Just then Eleanore made the plane zoom ahead over the boundary. Just as the tourists entered Nevada, they saw an immense ranch. Adjusting her spy glass, Dolly looked closely at the man who seemed to be supervising a horse- man. It was ISADORE ROSENBLUM trying to make WILLIAM ZUBER, who has won the title of The Laziest Man In Ten States and Three Coun- Page Twenty IKM!! ties ride PAUL CHELSTROM'S race horse. Joe remembered reading that Paul is the richest man in Nevada, who plays the races for a pastime. In the middle of Nevada, they were forced to stop on account of engine trouble. They landed on a very good airport run by MICHAEL MUTH. The mechanic who came to look over the plane was ROBERT McDONOUGH. The party decided to stretch their legs while the plane was being repaired so they walked down the main street. Suddenly, Alice's eye was caught by a cozy- looking tea shop called 'AYe Athletic Tea Shop. They entered and to their surprise found that the proprietors were BERNADETTE BRADY and ELIZ- ABETH BARNES. They were dressed in stunning blue and white oufits. They told the party that the outfits were manufactured by the TRAUTMAN, LYNCH CO. Juanita and Dorothy make only blue and white articles which have become very popular. After having the plane overhauled, Eleanore remembered they had failed to visit Hollywood, while in California, so they decided to return, confident of finding many old M, A, H. S. students there. When they landed in Hollywood, who should come sauntering along but JOHN VAN GUILDER who has invented a hair restorer at the request of PAUL RYAN who was afraid he couldn't play movie hero as he was becom- ing bald. GLADYS DIESSLIN, a scenario writer, came over to the plane and asked if IRENE LARSON had come with them, as she intended to enter the movies. WILLARD HOLMSTINE. famous movie director, and WESLEY ANDERSON, make-up artist, appeared on the lot looking for WALTER MCDONALD who is starring in the picture 'AEsk Me Another, written by MICHAEL DORR. MARGARET GUNDERMAN, a bathing beauty, who has also broken into the movies, volunteered the information that she had seen Wally with his leading lady, SARAH ZWEIG, who has become prominent in the talkies.'l The designer of the stage settings was CONN IRBER who has put Gordon Craig back-stage with his artistic settings, while CHESTER STAPLES has become famous as a master electrician, having introduced some modernistic lighting effects. BERNICE THORSON was the costume designer. HOXVARD BARNICK had charge of the continuity, and RINEHARD SIT- ZER, of the photography. EDWARD MOYLAN'S and GEORGE KAESS' Otto's Little German Bandl' played the music to affect the emotions of this select group of artists. Upon walking further, imagine the shock to the sightseers to see MARTHA RINGOLD throwing pies at ROBERT DAVIS. However, it was only a comedy scene on the screen. HAROLD JOHNSON was advertising artist for this corporation of which KENNETH JESSE was the owner. Walter Sime, now a famous pianist, invited Dolly to come to the night club where he played. Dolly accepted and they left. When evening came, they went to the Leemhuis Cafe, owned and operated by GLENN LEEM- HUIS, and found a cabaret where MARY KURLONCHICK was singing, CURTIS HUNT was a banjoist, while NICHOLAS MUSSACHIO played an unnamed instrument, newly invented by SAM DRUCKER. After a very enjoyable time, the party set out for a cross-country flight to Washington, D. C. Upon landing at the airport, they were met- by Postmaster General HERMAN PINK. MAE LEWIS, Assistant Postmaster General, was with him to take care of the multitude of reporters who swarmed about. Chief among them was WILLIAM LUTSCHER, once famed basketball player. GEORGE KATZ, revue producer, came down also to see if Eleanor would accept a contract with him. He told them that he was starring MIRIAM BEAUDETTE and HELEN RILEY in his present production which was Page Twenty-one T II E M U financed by SAM BRAUNSTEIN, who is always willing to back a sure thing. Suddenly, Alice saw DOROTHY BRAVERMAN, who is the world's cham- pion shorthand writer, taking notes upon all that was being said. Alice rushed over and greeted Dorothy effusively. Alice asked Dorothy where she got the smart outfit she was wearing. Dorothy replied that she got it from the SIMOS sisters, ultra-fashionable modistes of Washington. WALTER ROSER, of pugilistic fame, was also at the port with his backer, FRED GRUBE, now a great capitalist. They were there to meet GEORGE AMIDON, the champion, and his manager, AARON SHADUC. The party decided that they had seen all the M. A. graduates in Wash- ington, so they set off for Philadelphia. Just as Eleanor was about to start the plane, the party saw a man rushing toward them. It was none other than OSCAR GITLIN, He asked if he could not join the party because he had to be in Philadelphia to put through a fur deal with IRVEN LINDEEN, man- ager of a midget show who was buying his midgets fur coats for the Winter. After arriving in Philadelphia and going on an inspection tour, they saw FANNIE RABINOVITZ, IRENE HETZEL, and MARGARET KOEH- NEN who were dressed as Quakers. The party was surprised-but found that they were merely masquerading. As the party walked down the street they saw a most exclusive looking establishment called the Schletty School For Girls. The party entered the school and were greeted by STANLEY HANSEN who helps the sisters procure good students for their school. He took the visitors to the office where DELLA AXLING. secretary, reigns supreme. Della was very glad to see them and immediately summoned HELEN and DOROTHY SCHLETTY. Helen and Dorothy took the group on a tour of the class rooms. They started from the basement where the dancing room was situated. MARJORIE ROHLF was teaching her dancing class a new tap step. Marjorie asked SARAH TORRE- DOR to stop playing the piano and they both came to greet the newcomers. They then moved on to the gymnasium, where MILDRED TOENJES was conducting class. They visited the rest of the classes and found MARION BERG taught scenario writingg BARBARA WHITE, spelling: MILDRED HAASE, physics: HELEN NURNBERG, Latin: HELEN SLATER, design- ingg VASSILA STRENGLIS, millinery: ALICE HAYES, dressmaking: DALE LEACH, oratory: FRED KLINKHAMMER, archery: LOUISE JAHN, elocution. and EDWARD CHRISTENSON, fencing. Helen explained that their school was noted for its wonderfully healthful and nourishing meals. This was owing to the fact that they employed two trained dietitians, ALICE OLSEN and MARGARET EABLE. The tourists enjoyed a delicious dinner and in particular the beans. Helen explained they always used Cohen's Beans -yes, LILLIAN is the factory owner. After dining it was decided to explore Philadelphia further. On a small side street they discovered a book store run by ANN AVRICK, while MAR- GARET TEGELER had a candy shop next door, where she handled the fa- mous HE-VI chocolates made by HELEN REITAN and VIVIAN BISHOP, a well known firm. They entered a floral shop and found that the owner was DOROTHEA OLSON. They found Dorothea visiting with DOLLY HAINES, Who has won fame and admiration as a policewoman. Dorothea was just putting up an order of three dozen roses for HAZEL PRESTON, famous dancer, from PHILIP RICE, now Mayor of Whoopee Prairie. Hoping to see Hazel, the tourists went to the LA FORCE Theater, owned and managed by LEONE. Here they not only saw Hazel but also BONNIE SHEPPARD, a well known ballerina. They were delighted to hear JANET UGGAN give a talk on Page Twenty-two T II If M M China in connection with a travel film. She had just completed her third' world tour with MARGARETHA BUNDE as companion. BERTHA BRAVERMAN was featured with her orchestra. Among other hits they played a new song by RUTH LARSON, who has taken Irving Berlin's place in popularity. MARGARET LEIENDECKER was the pianist, SYLVIA FRANK, the saxophonistg EVANGELINE LARSON, the violinist. MA- RIAN ROSSBACH was in a tumbling act. Marian had taken up tumbling after being valedictorian as she was tired of being so brilliant. On leaving the theater they purchased some ice cream and found it to be manufactured by CARMELITA ASMUSSEN, who valued her company so much that ESTHER ANDERSON, president of an insurance company, found her easy to sell insurance to. Their appetites not being appeased they stopped at ANGELA HODGMAN'S Hhot dog stand, and consumed no less than seven hot dogs apiece, Of course, they felt queer after this so they located a hospital and were attended to by doctors PAUL LARSON and HAROLD ELWOOD, while LILLIAN BERGMAN and VIOLET ERICKSON, nurses, took their temperatures. When the crowd felt able to walk around again, they went through the hospital. In a private room filled with flowers, they saw ABRIELA MARCUM. She was suffering with a broken leg incurred by a fall from her horse. In the next room was GEORGE EORZLEY who had broken his collar bone trying to get to work on time: ALFRED ADAM, who is a bicyclist, and had fallen off his bike after winning the six-day's race: CHARLES MCMURRAY, who was having his throat treated, as he is Speaker of the House of Representatives, and his voice had deserted him. He was con- versing on his fingers with his nurse, HILDA ECKLUND. JAMES OLIVER was amusing the chronic patients with a chalk talk and finally was removed by Dr. LOUIS ODESSKY because one patient got a choking spell from laugh- ing. GEORGE COLAIZY'S drugs were used extensively in the hospital. After leaving the hospital, the tourists went to their plane and left for New York. Upon arriving in New York they were met by ART CHRIS- TENSON, the high pressure saleman, who meets all incoming planes in order to sell his bonds. Their next shock came when WAYNE PETERSON, a big political boss of New York, greeted themg his partner is ARTHUR HOCH- BAN, the champion talker of New York. Starting for Broadway, they stopped at a clothing store run by PAUL BERNSTEINg EREDA SCHULZE is his crack saleswoman and MARGUER- ITE SCHENK his stenographer. BURNEY THOEN, an expert accountant, was checking over Marguerite's books. while DORIS SWAN tried to sell Paul some of JUDITH SMOLIK'S dresses. Tired, the travelers adjourned to MAMIE EIORITO'S hotel. Mamie greeted them personally. RALPH KENNEDY, GEORGE SCHNEIDER and HENRY JOHNSON were the pee-Wee bellhops who showed them to their rooms. On leaving the elevator they met JOHNNIE MAE BLAKE and ORA JONES who were doing settlement work. The party sat around discussing the latest scandal. They were highly interested as ELLA MAE VAN DYKE'S husband, Count Roon, had been im- prisoned for larceny, stealing two cases of dill pickles as he liked them so, and his lawyer was ELSIE PETERING. They left the discussion in mid-air and went to dinner. They were conducted to their table by ITALO BERTINI, the proprietor. Two of the party decided to dance to the music of JOHN DOUG- LAS' orchestra, and BENJAMIN STERNOVSKY received loud applause for a saxophone solo. They saw JOSEPH EOLDOE, now a retired millionaire. At the table next to him sat MYRTLE NELSON, who was on her honey- Page Twenty- three THE 'nun moon. Dining with them were MILTON KAUFMAN, world renowned ora- torg RUTH REHAK, song writer, JAMES REICHOW, America's greatest trombonist, ELLA MAE LUEDKE, New York teacher of harmony, and her partner, MILDRED QUADE. Of course, the trip to New York would not be complete without a visit to Greenwich Village. They came to a huge, barn-like studio owned by MARIE MOONEY, and heard sounds of revelry so they entered and discov- ered a party of temperamental '29 graduates who were celebrating the return of GORDON BEAR from Europe where he had sung before the Crowned Heads. REGINA BLACKOWSKI and DOROTHY WHITBECK were there. They are now famous short-story writers. LAURA FROST, IRENE AMOS, THELMA HOIVIK and ARLENE MERRILL, Broadway actresses, were dis- cussing their favorite plays, GRACE KNACK and EMILY COOK have formed the corporation Knack to Cook. LEON BERMAN, saxophonist, played for the party. HENRY CASSELIUS, bustling politician, was round- ing up votes. His publicity manager, AULDEN CULLENS, was with him. Two mathematics profs., SANFORD FALBAUM and ARTHUR STOECK- MAN, came to the party to take some recreation from the grind of teaching math in New York high schools and to meet their former classmates. The morning after the visit to Greenwich Village the tourists left for London. They arrived there the following morning and were immediately lost in the fog. They finally located a bobbie and found him to be LOUIS ALTMAN. He directed them to the head of Scotland Yard, MARVIN COX. IRVING BERNSTEIN, Marvin's right-hand man, very obligingly directed the now bedraggled group to the HKIMBALLH hotel. LAURA made her fortune as a coat model and went into the hotel business as a side line. After a re- freshing nap, the party went to RICHARD ALLEN'S broadcasting station where Richard is head broadcaster. PAUL DERAGISH and BYRON NOR- LANDER, the two red crows, were on the air. Their number is listened to all over the world. Then Richard announced a talk on Chemistry in the Home by GERALD FRANKE. Gerald gave as an example of the perfect home, the house of MARJORIE BLANK, nee SJOBERG, the leader of Lon- don's 4'Smart Set, On their way out they found EUNICE HANDSCHUH waiting to give a lecture on A'Woman's Place in Politics. In the afternoon, the group went to a baseball game played by the All- American Team versus the All-English Team. The whole All-American Team was made up of M. A. 1929 graduates. The shortstops were DOMI- NIC PERIZINO and SIDNEY SWADEN: right iield, BLAINE WALL: left field, HARVEY PETERSENQ center field, MATHIAS FITZGIBBONS: third base, EDWARD FAYED3 second base, WILLIAM ROYCEQ first base, PAUL SAUBER: pitcher, RAY REIBESTEIN: catcher, JOHN HOISER: substi- tute, KENNETH HEDBERG. The chief trainer was GORDON VARS. The whole was managed by TOM DONAHUE, and financed by MARCEL- LA GRABOWSKI. MARIE REHBERGER was selling delicious pies, made by GRACE GORVIN, and popcorn grown by CRYSTAL GRAHAM on her model farm. After the baseball game the tourists went to one of England's famous steeple chases. MARIE CAPETZS jockey, PETER BOOS, was riding one of MYRNA CARLSON'S famous thoroughbred horses. RUTH FLOWERS and JENNIE FORSEEN were discussing RUSSELL GROH'S horse, Shot Put, while ELEANORE HAGBERG and RALPH PULKRABEK rode up to greet the tourists. After the Steeple chase they went to the famous Wimbledon Tennis Matches and found FRANK ALLGREEN star of the day, with LEONARD Page Twenty-four THE M HERMAN as close second. They played a set of doubles against EDWARD DAVIS and ROMAN SNELL. The match was a tie. On returning to their hotel the party decided to leave for Paris to see the great Paris Ladies' Doubles. MARGET ESCH and DOROTHY LUND- BERG were playing an exciting match against ESTHER HARDY and MIL- DRED ANDERSON. Margaret and Dorothy won the match. The judge, BERNICE ANDERSON, recently married to a millionaire, awarded the trophy. RALPH BARNES and BORGNY BERNSTEIN gave speeches on The Trials and Tribulations of Tennis Playing. From the tennis match the party went to ELEANOR JOHNSON'S Pe- kin Road Housef' And from there the tourists adjourned to the Latin Quar- ter.

After leaving the Latin Quarter the party went for a walk and happening on a church decided to attend. CORDULA CLOETER was in the pulpit giving a sermon on 'iBrotherly Love and Affection in the Home. WILLIAM CONRAD and THELMA DORLAND were having a heated debate in the back of the church. Finally, GEORGE MARTIN, the head usher, requested them to leave. JULIA OLSON, the organist, played Home Sweet Home, while AUDREY LIBBY sang. After leaving the church, the party returned to the landing field and de- parted for Germany. They arrived an hour later in Berlin and were greeted by JOHN LEWIS, now dictator of Germany. A telegram was handed to Eleanor. Upon reading it, she discovered it was from CARL PETTIJOHN who wanted assistance in getting out of prison where he was put for writing free verse. SUE LEW, now a great commercial artist, had just arrived to study German art. FRED KOCH, the mayor of a small community town, gave them the key to the city, and ROBERT KOCH was their personal escort. Robert took them to the HOFF Laboratories where REGINA HOFF is the manager, and KATHERINE KEMP, her assistant. They went to LOUIS SELBIN'S Beer Gardens, where FRIEDA FRIEDMAN discussed the worries of a housekeeper with MABEL HOLM- GREN. ELEANOR BARTZ, in a far-removed corner, was teaching the stolid Germans the intricacies of the Bartz Strut. MARGARET CODY had come to visit the famous gardens and rest, after having won a speed skating contest in Switzerland. ERNEST FEURST was refreshing himself with the famous beer. after his strenuous canoe trip up the Rhine.

The men are arguing for their rights which were taken from them five years before. REEN OLIPHANT. on their arrival in Pekin, China invited them to see her jinrikisha race against DELIA NEWMAN. After the races the tour- ists went to see the 'iLittle Theater Group consisting of JACK STRANE, JUANITA ZEHNDER, RAYMOND SMITH, LILLIAN SACHS, VIR- GINIA JOHNSON, EYLEEN BENNETT and MABEL STROMMER. Their production was the Shy Little Violets -which they all portrayed ex- cellently. In the audience were WILMA MATHEWS, WALTER McDON- ALD and GEORGE MARX, now eminent English scholars.

The ship contained a cargo of beans. The group soon tired of sleepy Egypt, so they flew to Australia, the land of the great open spaces where men are men. The first ranch where the party stopped is owned by CARL NELSON. DORIS NELSON, who was visiting Australia, was speaking to DARRELL WILBER, BENNIE WEINER, GLENN WICK, JACK STORKERSON and ALF ROMSTAD, cowpunchers on the ranch. MAMIE UHLIS and OT- TILIA ZENKER were guests of Doris and Carl. They are recuperating from severe attacks of hay fever and asthma, respectively.

They then left to begin work immediately on an account of their around the World trip. The Family Picnic By MARIAN BERG. '29 CSuggested by A'L'Allegro: Lines 83-84D Where relatives and old friends met Are at their picnic luncheon set Of salad, pickles, cake and ants, While young boys slide and rip their pants And little girls fall in the lake To be dragged out with a long rake, And snoring fathers buzz like bees While mothers swat flies near their knees: Sometimes with dubious delight A family picnic will invite. Page Twenty- seven h THE M ENGLISH CONTRACTS By EVELYN NEVENs, '29 Tuesday-Well, finally that contract is ready to be handed in. I heave a sigh of relief as Miss Deem calls for our contracts. HAn A? she asks, as if expecting to be answered in the affirmative. She isn't. That day I feel light- hearted. There are no English contracts to worry about Qnotice I don't say to doj. Wednesday-Alasl my joy is short-lived. As surely as the sun rises, Miss Deem is bound to say, Copy your contracts. They will be due one week from today. As I read over the new contract, I say to myself, Why, strange as it may seem, that doesn't look so hard. I'll finish D tonight. f'Whatl You're going to do your English this afternoon and the con- tract isn't due for a week? Don't you feel well? one of my learned Senior friends asks solicitously. A'Come on down town with us to take our pictures. Show your school spirit. For fear of being accused of going against M. A. H. S. principles by doing my homework instead of trying to help beautify and decorate our by helping them take flattering pictures, I reluctantly UD consent to do as they say. Thursday- Law test tomorrowln announces Miss Williams. Be sure to study those fifty questions. It won't hurt you to use your brains once in a while. I studied law. Friday- Evelyn, must you do that homework, now? You have until Monday, you know. l'Wel1, I'm all mixed up anyway, so maybe if I wait- Saturday-Aunt Ellen brought her darling twins over. Oh, and what those kids can do to a house! I had to straighten it up. Easy? No! Sunday-By this time I'm having an awful struggle trying to get started on that contract. I don't see why Miss Deem gives us so short a time. Con- sider-I had been working so hard on that contract every night Cwell-nearlyj since Wednesday, and I hadn't finished D. I finished up a few items. My work consisted mostly in arranging papers, ink, etc. Monday-I firmly resolve to finish that contract tonight. It has now assumed the shape of a horrible monster named Duty, which reproaches me for my negligence and taunts me for my inability to tackle and get started on it, though it well knows I would get ahead if I once started. It has many allies to prevent me from getting at it. They are Other duties, Friends and acquaint- ances, Pleasure, Books and Cwhisper thisj sometimes pure laziness. I finish another outline. Tuesday-To my horror, I discover our contracts are due tomorrow. What can I do? That younger ,sister of mine never will learn, I guess, that she should bring theme paper home the night before my contracts are due. Why are people so stupid? CDO I hear a remark, sotto voce, about traits run- ning in families?j Evelyn, come and eat. 'Just a minute, Mother. After a half hour, I come down to eat and listen to perfectly foolish and unimportant talk about local happenings. Why don't they discuss Milton? After a few at.- tempts at uplifting them by describing Milton's conception of Hell, they tell me to keep it to myself. I resolve to let them be lowbrow. I retire at twelve. Let me observe that ink isn't my favorite cream as a skin beautifier. Wednesday- An A, Evelyn? No, just a B. P. S.-Supervised study wouldn't be so bad, would it?

Page Thirty-one THE M WHAT EVERY FAMILY KNOWS By MARGARET LEIENDECKER. '29 Why, Dad, don't you know the tennis courts were opened today! I was dated up for the very first set. I have to get some outdoor exercise. I'd be sick if I didn't. And besides, when you've spent a whole, beautiful, spring day studying geometry, and Spanish, and civics, and all that junk, you can't go home, and open your books in the middle of the afternoon, and study some more. You must think I'm like nothing human. I'll do my home work to- night, same's I always do, Yes, Daddy, dear, I'll get started in a minute. f'What did you say, Jerry? Well, when you were in high school, you flunked French and history -and I've never flunked a thing yet. And speaking of going to bed early, what time did you get in last night? Well, me, I'm going to work, Say, Dad, you ought to see our geometry teacher. She's at least thirty, and she always favors the boys. They can get anything out of her. Aw, mother, I'm not criticising my teachers, but-all right, I'll begin to study. Yes, Dad, I'm through now, but it's only 9:45. I don't want to go to bed. Let me try the new Blues on the player. A'Burr-rr--l There's the telephone. Don't move. it's probably for me. No, not tonight, I'm going to bed early. Tomorrow night then? All right, good-bye. Now I'm ready for bed. Good night, Mother. Good night, Dad. No, Mother, I'm not in bed yet. I'm mending my stockings. But, Mother, it's only a quarter to eleven. Yes, I have other stockings, but it's the only pair that matches my maize dress. I can't wear another dress, because I've worn every other thing I own once this week. If you would only buy me some more dressesh-and I told you the other day that I needed some new stockings. Yes, Dad, I'm going to bed now. I know I've been up here for over an hour, but if I can't cold cream my face-- f'Jerry, is that you? Back already? You didn't think I was awake, because you didn't see my light. Oh, well, Dad made me put out that light, and see how I tipped my bed lamp? You can't see any light from the hall, can you? If you say anything--I know I can't be an Airedale, but I'll get some sleep. You see I've been studying all evening and I've just got to find how the 'Greene Murder Case' comes out! MAKING CANDY By HARRIET NYssEN, '29 Making candy is lots of fun, although it takes a great deal of time, quan- tities of dishes and infinite elbow grease. Of the three, elbow grease is the most important, for the more candy is beaten, the more creamy it gets. Many a time my arm gets so stiff from beating that I can hardly bend it. Then I wish I had someone to give me a helping hand, but that help- ing hand is always shaving, or phoning, or reading, or having an engagementg so consequently, my hands have to help themselves. But when the candy is done, I am surrounded with helping hands so many that I really cannot find enough beating for them, so all that I can do is to take the Hb from 'Abeating and we can start eating, Page Thirty- two TH .E M THE CALL OE THE SIREN . By MARIAN DICKMAN, '29 Last night I wondered for the millionth time why they ever chose such a weird, unholy sounding siren for the fire engine. I think it must be to such a sound the devils writhe in Hades. During the day it is a gruesome enough warning, but at night it grips me with a tense unnamable horror, Its unnat- ural sound seems almost human: its modulations in volume and tone have the sound of despair and of anguish. lt has the pathos of the wailings of a lost child in terror, When, at night, hearing it. I reach out for my sister, I scold myself in vain. Sometimes uneasy morbid thoughts grip me and I wonder if it is not getting warm. I get up and look under the bed for flames. What if it is our house that is aliref Then I throw open the windows wide and bounce nimbly back into bed. And I stare wide-eyed into blackness until the sound dies away. In the morning I laugh and call myself a fool. And yet, I know that at night the fire siren will always unman me. As much as I fear the fire siren at night, its challenge has never, in day- time, failed to lure me from home. XVith the assurance of all children born and bred in the city, I never mistook the ambulance siren for the fire siren, to be led on a fruitless quest. The first sound of the siren was the signal for everything past the toddling stage to cut for the corner. By the time the adults began to collect at the gates, our dust was settled and we were neatly out of earshot of fond parents and wrathful elder sisters. And yet, often as I chased the things, I actually reached only one Hre that was really going when I got there. And that was only a shed that didn't make enough smoke to keep the mosquitoes away. Once we thought we had a lucky break when the school- house caught on fire. But it happened in August and by the time school started, the Hre was a minor incident in past history. Once our neighborhood thought of putting the city Ere service out of business. Each of the coasters in the neighborhood had its appointed crew, a new type of warranted hemp hose, and a settled position in the formation. Most important of all, for our business-like atmosphere, was our hair-raising imitation of the above-mentioned siren. The combined eHfect of the lusty vocal chords of both steersmen and motiveers caused people on all the surrounding streets to run for the gate. Our siren had a marvelous carrying power as well as being harmoniously beautiful. I haven't been a fire chief for years, but sometimes-in daytime-I wish I were one and could dress in two seconds, and shinny down a shiny brass pole, and wear my hat backwards. A PARK BY MOONLIGIIT By VIRGINIA HINDS, '29 Did you ever wander through a park by moonlight? Well, if you haven't, by all means do: it's a sight both beautiful and pathetic. The moonlight, aided by numerous arc lights, illumines the beautiful park, and seeks out the tragedy and humor of it. Banana peels, cracker-jack boxes, lunch papers, and pop bottles litter the beautiful lawns, peek out of the verdant hedges, and mock at the sign, Do Not Throw Refuse on Grass, On a bench sits a crippled old woman with a pile of newspapers in her lap, resting after an exhausting, fruitless day's work: next, a pair of lovers planning and hoping for the future: a tired business man, an outcast,--all the lonely spirits of the city in the park by moonlight. Page Thirty - three CKAMJJ THE FAMILY NEXT DOOR By MARGARET KoEHNEN, '29 SmashY iWell, that's the third time the kitchen window has been broken and summer vacation is only a month old. lt's one time less than last year at this time, though. What, are those kids in my garden again? Can't they ever stay in their own yard? Come in. Yes, Mrs. Jones, it's a fine day, just line. You're sorry about my window? Oh, that's all right, children will be children. Yes, my coffee man was here this morning, A half pound? Gladly, why, don't mention it. You'll do something for me some day? Oh, my, don't say that: the coffee won't taste half as good if you thank me. Come over some night and visit with us. 'AOh, dear, those kids have turned the garden hose on my wash and it was nearly dry. I could wring their necks. If their mother would only keep them home once in a while! Yes, dear, those are pretty flowers, but they do look rather familiar. Where did you get them? In my front yard! Mercy! Well, child, run along and show them to your mother. You don't want to go home: you're hungry? Well. come along, perhaps I can Hnd a bite for you to eat: now, run along, good-bye! Yes, Mrs. Jones, I have some eggs. Three? Why of course, no incon- venience at all, of course, you'll bring them back tomorrow. Why that's all right. No hurry at all. No, I didn't see Mr. Kelly come home intoxicated last night. Yes, I saw Mrs. Carr's new coat. First in three years, you say? Oh, there's one of the children crying. I hope he isn't hurt, Mrs. Jones. I'm glad you like the dinner, Jack, Yes, there's a few things I would like done Saturday. The kitchen window is broken: the screen door has been pushed through, there-'s the lawn that needs weeding badly. I forgot to tell you, Jack, dear, that the Jones' kids broke three of your golf clubs. Wring their necks? Oh, no, dear, you wouldn't do that. Why, that's too mild. Will you answer the knock at the back door. please? I'm so tired from chas- ing neighbor's kids. Just Mr. Jones, you say? Oh, he knew we weren't using our radio and knew we wouldn't mind lending one of our tubes to them. Oh, no, not at all. Well, I hope they'll wait until tomorrow to borrow the rest of the things they need. The Blame . By DALE LEACH, '29 Milton took his pen in hand To justify God's ways to man, Of Satan's fall, and Eve's temptation All he tells in his narration. But shall we censor little Eve Whom the serpent did deceive It was her way and all girls' after To do the thing forbidden, faster. In her time of stress, you say Adam should have showed the way But wilful woman's ways are such His presence wouldn't matter much. So Milton's works do just but show NVhere the blame had ought to go. Page 'liliirly-four T11 E M ADVENTURING By JUANITA ZEHNDER, '29 Swapping clothes, there's no getting around it, has its advantages and disadvantages. It seems to be the main occupation of our family. In the morning, it's a case of the early bird getting the worm: and the worm, in this case, is the best dress. The last one up simply gets left. She not only is likely to find not many dresses to choose from, but she is lucky if her best socks haven't done a disappearing act too. The only advantage in being the last is that one doesn't have to rack one's brain deciding what dress to wear. Perhaps you don't know it, but there's real technique in successfully bor- rowing a dress. First of all, there's an appropriate time for it. The best time is the morning after the owner of the coveted frock has been out late. Go softly to her room: cautiously open the door and look in. Nothing stirring, you can then proceed. You fasten one eye on the closet door, and the other on the blissful slumberer. If you're 21 novice you will probably step on every creaky board in the room: but if you're an expert, you'll step on only half of them. Once you've got your hands on the dress, don't be too exultant. Your job is only half over. lVIany's the time I've gone that far only to be caught with the booty on the way out. I've found that nothing has such marvelous awakening power as the sight of some precious gown disappearing from the room. The sleeper never mistakes it for a dream. It's grim reality. On being caught, she'll inform you that you're not going to wear the dress: and if you're at all wise, you'll agree. If it strikes you as funny, tell her you were just going to press the dress, anyway, and let it go at that. It's tragedies like this that are disadvantages in this business. Borrowing clothes, however, appeals to my sense of adventure. I think it's fun and I never tire following up the trail of a pair of mysteriously van- ished stockings like an honest-to-goodness Sherlock Holmes: or storing away my own precious belongings like buried treasure in places where they are quite safe from would-be borrowers. Bubbles By MARJORIE SJOBERG, '29 I had been watching the children blowing bubbles that day: When I went to bed that night I saw the moon from where I lay. Its face was bright and shining And oh, so round and fat. I wondered who had strength enough to blow a bubble as big as that. Yearning By LILLIAN LUSTMAN, '29 I am yearning For the white flowers of the dusk, The pale, exotic blossoms which grow When the iridescent moon-fires Flash through the tranquil night. I am longing For the beauty of the restless stars, The moving points of glowing silver light In the fathomless black depths of infinity- I can but dream--Y Page Th1'rIy-live l w l l V l Lc THFE HM!! i. v, 1 AAMODT, ESTHER. . . ..

The Council, assisted by Mr. Shirck, launched a school-wide clean-up drive. By obtaining the co-operation of the- student body the enterprise was made a success. The traffic situation was handled eficiently. Miss Heal helped the Coun- cil with this problem by organizing a civic club and assigning squads to direct traffic on the stairways and in the halls. Pupils were constantly reminded by placards posted in conspicuous places of the importance of obeying traffic rules and as a result congestion was greatly relieved. The yellow lines painted at the street intersection add to the safety of those crossing Robert Street. At the opening of the term information desks were stationed on every floor directing students to their new classes. The lost and found department was open regularly and proved to be of great service. The Student Council hopes to start its work immediately after the be- ginning of the fall semester by choosing an interim committee in May which will take care of matters at the opening of school. l'..,,.J-I Page Seventy T II E M SENIOR CLASS The class of 1929 has had a very active year. A number of informals have been'given that rivaled those given by the junior class. The represent- atives, Arlene Merrill, Mae Lewis, Gordon Bear, Conn Irber, James Reichow, Teresa Spiess, Kenneth Hedberg, Margaret Koehnan, Don Burcalow, Jack Wentling, Virginia Dunn, Albert Tschida, Olaf Brandt, and Francis Kortsen under the class oflicers, Clifford Johnson, president, Conn lrber, vice president: Margaret Esch, secretary: Dorothy Lynch, treasurer, and the class adviser, Miss Ruth Creglow, have collected dues and carried on the class work. Contracts were awarded for photographs, Senior pictures, and announcements to competi- tive firms about the city, and all the final year work was finished with a flourish. The Seniors were guests of the junior class at the Junior-Senior prom. JUNIOR CLASS A great deal has been accomplished this year by the Junior Class, under its adviser, Miss Mary Tracy, and the class ofhcers, Charles Stees, presidentg Geor- gia Morris, vice president, Harold Hirst, secretary, and Fred Braditsch, treas- urer. The junior representatives have been kept busy, holding meetings, collect- ing dues, and the usual work of the class representatives. The representatives are: Vern Brand, Mabel Bucholz, John Copeland, Mary Elliot, Jeannette Fleury, Edward Hetz, Walter Heuer, Jeanette Howard, Charles Howe, John Lies, Lawrence Linstrom, Lyle Gray, Christina Nelson, Marian Olman, Flor- ence McMichael, Marian Oman, Sylvia Makiesky, Leona Mahowald, Alice Winkler, Howard Brills, Helen Favilla, Dorothy Sternberg, Robert Jones, Louis Pare, Annette O'Shaughnessy, Mary Simone, John Sonnen and Lyle Scott. ,OFFICE FORCE Back row: Charlotte Bottomley, Lillian Sachs, Anita Kienitz, Margaret Kelly.

Page Seventy-one THE MU MUSIC DEPARTMENT SUMMARY This has been a very busy and at the same time a very profitable season in the Music Department. When it became apparent that.Mr. Lange was opposed to an opera, it was decided to lay great emphasis on the class work. As a re- sult the chorus classes, in addition to the learning and performing of several choral Works, have had a rather thorough course in the theory of music and in the training of the ear. Very valuable results were apparent and the mem- bers of the classes have begun to have a musician's attitude toward their Work. Two major choral programs have commanded the attention of the chorus classes, a cantata, The Harvest by Kountz, which was performed at the Thanksgiving assembly, and declared by Miss Shawe to have been one of the best cantatas she has heard' in the local high schools, and the number for the State Music Contest, an a capella chorus, Listen to the Lambs arranged from an old negro spiritual by Dett, himself a negro musician. In addition, the chorus class is working on a Motet, A'The Seraphic Song a vocal paraphrase of Kammenoi Ostrow by Anton Rubinstein, which will be part of the Spring Festival and Commencement programs. lt is a very pretentious number with chorus, contralto- solo, violin obligato and accompaniment for piano and pipe organ. This Motet was heard in St. Joseph, Mo., by the municipal organist, Mr. Goodwin, and called to Mr. Raymond's attention by him. The orchestra has had a big piece of work in the preparation of the num- bers for the annual State Music Contest held by the Minnesota Music League each year at the University of Minnesota. The numbers are the Overture to the opera Rienze by Richard Wagner, an overture that is a tax to a symphony orchestra and a huge piece of work for a school orchestra. In addition they have had to learn the 'AEgmont Overture of Beethove'n's and have spent some time on a Lyric Suite by Carl Busch. Some of these numbers will be heard in the Spring Festival and at Commencement time. Page Seventy-two T11 E M 'J The Central-Mechanic Arts game in the fall, with the snappy perform- ance of the Central Band, made it apparent that Mechanic Arts simply had to revive their old band and steps were taken at once, looking to that rejuvena- tion. The result was a thirty-five piece band on the stage at the Thanksgiving assembly. The band also played for the annual senior play. They were a very important cog in the cheering section at the three State Basketball tourna- ment games, getting themselves into print in both local papers for their peppy performances. They may not be so finished in their work, but that band cer- tainly is willing and has enthusiasm. The classes in Music Appreciation and Harmony have had a stiff course in the intricacies of Harmony through the dominant seventh chord, its in- versions, and the secondary chords. They also have done some original work, two of the members having written and performed original compositions for the English eight contract. , The two big events of the season for the Music department, are the State Music Contest and the Spring Festival, a new idea to take the place of the opera. There were twelve entries from Mechanic Arts in the District contest held at the school the afternoon of May 9th. These entries were Orchestra, Mixed Chorus, Mixed Quartet, a Brass Quintet, playing a composition called Vingette written by Mr. Hugo Goodwin for them and dedicated to them, and the following soloists: Piano, Lillian Qdesskyg Baritone soloist, James Reichow: Soprano soloist, Deloris Marsden, Trombone soloist, James Reichowg Saxophone soloist, Leonard Stillman: Trumpet soloist, Edward Moylang Clar- inet soloist, George Kaessg Violin soloist, Emil Hartman. The Brass Quintet made their first appearance at Mechanic Arts on the morning of the day school closed for the Christmas vacation. They played some Christmas carols especially arranged for them. They played the same carols just before the midnight Mass on Christmas eve at the Church of the Messiah and again on Christmas afternoon at the Municipal Christmas Cele- bration at the Auditorium.

THE LIBRARY lt has been said that 'AThe library is to the school what the laboratory is to the science department, And, indeed, students of Mechanic Arts have found this to be true. Mrs. Dugas, our present librarian, came to Mechanic Arts in September, 1921. Since then the library has made rapid progress. ln 1925, Room 23A was given over to the library as a work room and stack room. Many single unit bookcases, three vertical file cabinets, two mahogany sectional bookcases, and three large old bookcases had been added to the library by that time. With the addition of open shelf stacks in the new room, the library's capacity for knowledge has been greatly increased. Mrs, Dugas has catalogued over 6,000 books, has mounted and classified, with the help of the library staff, several hundred pictures, and has spent much time on a very helpful clipping file. This file contains articles of interest and help for all departments of the school. This file is arranged alphabetically ac- cording to titles. ln 1928, the treasured addition to the library was a set of the new Encyclopedia Americana. The change in the Home Economics Department also brought many new books to the library. These are now reserved for the use of Miss Bumgardner's classes. English classes observed National Book Week by studying an exhibit of modern book-making with Mrs. Dugas. This year, although few new books have been added, the library has ad- vanced in other directions. The picture Hle now contains over five hundred mounted pictures including the pictures of famous men, famous paintings. buildings etc. Page Seventy-four TUE M l 4 M AND COGWHEEL STAFF Back row: Reinhard Sitzer, Miss Copley, Mrs. Raymond, Miss Deem, Mr. Wolcott.

COGWHEEL AND MM STAFFS The history of the Cogwheel and staffs during the past year is a history of experiments, successful and otherwise. The most important enterprise entered upon was the development of a morgue, after the system of metropolitan papers. When it is completed, the Hmorguen will contain a history of all the graduates, athletics, dramatics, and other school activities. A complete file will probably take several years' work. The Cogwheel also attempted to obtain stories of universal interest by interviewing all the pupils in the school. Questionnaires were compiled by means of which facts otherwise inaccessible were obtained. A file of the programs of the students in the school was made by mem- bers of the staff so as to save trips to the office when students are desired. ln January a separate Cogwheel and a separate staff were appointed. The HM staff was composed entirely of Seniors and the remainder of the staff members were assigned work on the Cogwheel with Phyllis Grahame as editor of the paper and Marian Dickman as edtior of the Fifteen copies of the Cogwheel were published during the course of the year, seven during the first term and eight during the second term. Mr. Lange's editorial has continued throughout the year to be an im.- portant feature of the publication. The only new department added this year was a scientific column which has proved popular with students of science. By the Fireside, a book review department, has flourished and become increas- ingly popular. Page Seventy-Eve THE M l G. A. A. Basketball, kittenball, swimming, tennis, and hiking occupied the Girls' Athletic Association this year. The leaders of the different sports are as follows: Basketball, Bertha Johnson: kittenball, Flossie Fagrieg swimming, Doris Schauerg tennis, Marlius Finske, hiking, Gertrude Froelingsdorf. The season was opened by an overnight hike to the Hill Farm. Fifteen girls went on this hike: they were accompanied by Miss Blase. The inter-class basketball tournaments were held in February. The Freshman-Sophomore game, the Sophomores won by a score of 24-16. The Junior-Senior game, the Juniors won by a score of 26-ll: and in the final game the Sophomores carried the school title by a score of 22-l2. The members on the Sophomore team are as follows: Ruth Tessman, Margaretia Nierad, Betty Michaelson, Ann Margolis, Flossie Fagrie, Eleanor Pagel and Marie Haugenbrimer. In swimming five girls made the Tanklan. Twenty-five girls made points in swimming. Hiking was a favorite of the girls this year. They took fifteen hikes. Tennis started in May. Practices were held at Dunning Field. A tour- nament was held and anyone making the school tennis team received 100 points towards their M. Kittenball practices were also held at Dunning Field. The gym class tournament was held: and also a tournament between the Freshmen and the Sophomores, and the Juniors and the Seniors. Plans are being made for field hockey for next term. The G. A. A. closes its work every year by having a picnic. The last two years the picnic has been held at Como Park. The following girls received M's this year: Mable Bucholz, Ada May and Elizabeth Barnes. Miss Irene Johnson, girls' physical training teacher, is the director and adviser of the organization. Page Seventy-six IKM!! GIRLS' COGWHEEL CLUB ln October the Girls' Cogwheel Club started an eventful year with a mem- bership Kid Party directed by Portia Swain, chairman of activities. A Bunco party in November and a Holiday party in December were the other parties held during the first term. At the Holiday party the girls very cleverly cos- tumed many famous days. The club gave three parties at the beginning of the second term for the girls entering the school for the first time. Bertha Braverman had charge of the Freshman party, Margaret Kelley directed the party for the Junior High girls. and Thelma Coleman arranged the party for the Out-of-Town girls. A St. Patrick's Party was given in March, and a chow mein supper fol- lowed by a stunt program was held in May. A short play entitled Told in a Chinese Garden was presented during the stunt program. The G. C. C. sponsored a pencil sale in March and April. This year the club organized a Dramatic Club under the direction of Miss Prout and Mrs. Anderson, and a Glee Club under the direction of Miss' O'Hair. Travel was the theme of the talks given at the meetings of the first term. Miss Christopher spoke on 'AChina at the October meeting: Miss Tschida spoke on 'AGermany at the November meetingg and Miss Moosbrugger spoke on France at the December meeting. During the second term Mr. Ralph Smalley talked about Styles of Fur- niture, and at the May meeting on the subject of The Little Theater Move- ment. A one-act .play entitled Rooms to Let was also presented at the May meeting by the Dramatic Club. At the April meeting the subject, Spring Wardrobes was very interestingly discussed by Miss Bumgardner. The talk was illustrated by a style show. Once a month the cabinet of the G. C. C. has met and discussed future business. Page Seventy-seue 1 HM!! GTT,CLUB The Club is an honorary organization in which any Mechanic Arts letter man is eligible to become a member.

First row: Wagner, Wood, Burcalow, Mr. Smalley, Bunde, Hogg, l.a Favor. STAGE FORCE This year, the stage force, under the capable direction of Mr, Ralph E. Smalley, has led an unusually interesting life. Though there was but one reg- ular school production, the force's time Was more than taken by construction of a model stage and by outside work. Work on The Youngest occupied most of the fall term. The novel feature of the production was a new brick fireplace that from a distance of six feet, could not be distinguished from the real thing. While construction on The Youngest was going forward, the force Was also building sets for a church play in Butte, Montana. Not having a major problem this spring, such as the usual operetta, the force made a model stage completely equipped down to an asbestos curtain, and an organ grill in the proscenium. The stage, at a scale' of one inch to the foot measures 36 feet in width, 28 feet in height, and 40 feet from front to rear. The force staged the Holy Week play at St, Bernard's School during the last part of March. In May it constructed the settings for the St. Paul Insti- tute's production, Come Out of the Kitchen. In addition to this, prac- tically all staging at the St. Paul Playhouse was done by members and former members of the Mechanics' stage force in collaboration with that of Johnson SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club was reorganized this semester. The ollicers chosen were: President, Marvin Cox: vice president, Dorothy Whitbeckg secretary, Mary Roth: treasurer, Regina Blackowski: sergeant-at-arms, .loe Nemo. Meet- ings were held on the first and third Fridays of each month. The meetings were opened by formal business. The various members of the class then com- pleted the program, with talks on subjects relative to Spanish life, literature and politics. Selections by Spanish composers as Well as the native airs and folks songs were given on the violin, piano and victrola. Miss Sanderson is the club's adviser. High School.

HI-Y The Hi-Y Club did not function to its fullest capacity this year. They started the year by sending six of the boys to the older boys' conference at Duluth, Those going were Harold Hirst, Louis Paree, Frank Allgreen, Harry Schwankl, Truman Risbrudt and Francis Wrabek. The early meetings were marked by many good, lively discussions. The basketball season soon gripped the boys and they organized a team. The Hi-Y's played good ball, especially so considering the fact that they had little practice. The members of the team were awarded Hi-Y letters. The oflicers for this year were: First Semester .

Old Maids' Club Contrary to the general predictions that were circulating last year, the Old Maids' Club is still a flourishing and growing organization at Mechanics. This club exists in a whirl of social activities. ln a body the girls recently visited the Crescent Creamery and the Sanitary Food Company. Numerous parties have been held. One of the most successful parties was on St. Patrick's day at which members of the faculty were guests. A Bunco party was also given to celebrate Valentines Day. There are now fifteen members of the club. Page Eighty THE M GIRL RESERVES During the first semester, the round of gayety and business was taken up by the Girl Reserves immediately. Parties, hikes, and doughnut sales com- prised the gayety, while membership teas and meetings took up the serious part. At the beginning of the term, the club changed advisers, Miss Kellerhals suc- ceeding Miss Billings. The meetings of the year were started by the delegates to Okoboji telling of their experiences at the camp. Following this, the club had some fine speakers. The following were the speakers and their subjects for the entire year: Miss Edith Rock, Eriendship: Miss Emily Longfellow, Ceremonies Miss Canahan, 'lDoughnut Sales, Mr. Lange, Seeing the Beautiful, and Miss Tschida, Vocations, Throughout the year, many parties have been held. On February 13, a membership tea was held in the gym which obtained twenty-four new mem- bers. On March 4, a slumber party was held at the Y. To show the students the incoming styles, a style show with entertainment was held in the assembly on April 5, with the students as models. . Every year, the club sends delegates to Okoboji. These girls are elected by the club, and enough money is raised so that they can send at least five girls. Another annual event, is a picnic at the end of the year. This time it was held at Grace Dodge Camp, and was the final social event of the year. Passing By RosE DOYLE, '29 l look into the clouds of gray .

LUNCH ROOM Nettie and her Lunch Room Force took very good care of and supplied food for about 900 students this year. The crowd came back in September and made an immediate rush for the lunch room, The sophisticated Seniors, the light-hearted Juniors, the stu- dious Sophs, the shy Prosh, and the dignified faculty joined in the line to the lunch room, where they were welcomed by Nettie and her staff. At the candy booth, the cheery smiles of Lucia Dustin and Lucille Nelson attracted many customers. Many came back just to see Mr. Raymond's artistic punching of the cash register. Phil Rice, Bonnie Sheppard and Bill Royce formed a con- poration of ice cream sellers that is hard to beat. Gordon Bear sells cookies almost as well as he sings, while Sharon Stern, Gus Tegeler, Alvira Gustafson and Dolly Nemer have become experts in making change. Elizabeth Barnes and Caryl Bothe believe in drinking only health-giving beverages, so they take care of the milk and cocoa. Sylvia Makiesky, Angela Hodgeman and Marjorie Rohlf reign supreme at the hot-dog stand. GERMAN CLUB In March the German Club completed its first year under its revised con- stitution, which proved to be very successful. The members hope to increase the club to fifty. The purpose of the club is to gain a better knowledge of Germany and her many contributions to civilization. Consequently at the bi-monthly meetings, talks on German art, music and literature were given. Vocal, piano and violin selections were arranged by various talented mem- bersbl In this way the study of German was made less diflicult and more en- joya e.

Death By LILLIAN LUsTMAN, '29 Death is a rogue, whose cunning hand Is ever stretched out to demand The souls that he may chance to meet Upon life's long and Winding street. Death mingles with the busy throng, And takes his toll of weak and strong. He does not care for Wealth or state- For poor men's souls are often great! He stops a While, and loitering First robs a beggar, then a king- Young laughter and old age's sigh Death covets with an evil eye: Because he lost his soul through guile And he can neither weep nor smile, None may resist his powerful force: He feels no pity, no remorse.

Thoughts Wllile Half Awake By MARIAN DICKMAN, '29 But half awake, I loll contentedly Through drowsy lids remarking the sun's play Upon the wall. I hear the lordly jay In exultation coach the morning spree Of sprightly singers that atop a tree Seduce me with a lively mirthful lay. The friendly sun shoots in a golden ray Of warmth to coax my eyelids shut for me.

I dwell on the lips of the maiden in love, I dwell with the' birds that go soaring above, I dwell in the hearts of the carefree and gay, I dwell in labor, and I dwell in play. The singing, murmuring brook is my home, 'Mid flowers and meadows and forests I roam. I dwell in the sunshine, in the- pattering rain, I dwell in the valley, on the hill, on the plain. I live 'mongst the willows, 'midst whispering pines I am heard in the winds, and in swaying of vines. If these joys thou knowest, O Spirit of Song, With thee I'll go wandering all the day long. A Tree By WAYNE PETERSEN, '29 Oh, tree, whose Maker was also my Maker, And whose forefathers in their world were great As mine in ours, I love to talk to thee As I regard thee, brother of mine, One in whom I have thc utmost confidence. Thou hast the same Master, obeyst the same Commands of Him who gave us each a soul, And whose relationships I do not doubt. Please let me live beneath thy spreading boughs Of green, till I forget the artificial life Of those with whom I've lived, and those who have Forgotten all which Nature still affords Within her shady woods and solitude Of untainted virginity. To a Gipsy Girl By JUANITA ZEHNDER, '29 I envy you your freedom to pursue Your whims of travel. Following romance O'er hills and winding roads, you halt to view The gold of sunsets: and the flames that dance At night from campfires bright give you indeed Rare heritage. One often tires of walls But after knowing where these roads do lead, It follows that elusive glamour falls. A year ago I would have joined your band. I cannot now, and yet, my bonds are sweet, I never knew how dear a piece of land Could grow, nor dreamed another could compete With your black eyes. Blue eyes did, and they've won My heart. So farewell, daughter of the sun. -six THE M ' A Sonnet By ABRIELIA MARCUM, '29 The day is done and evening's drawing nigh A gentle breeze just whispers in my ear. The fleecy golden clouds up in the sky Come floating lower down as if to hear. The zephyr's words are soft and full of cheer As in its drowsy way it lingers by: The night will overtake it soon I fear, Attracted by its softly murmured sigh. Now comes the night with dark and gentle tread, As though were drawn a curtain overhead Lighted now with many a sparkling star Shining, shining, shining, near and far. And the moon so full, so round, so bright Darkens the shadows of the slumb'ring night. Sonnet By LILLIAN LUSTMAN, '29 They tell me death is but a tranquil rest, A gentle sleep that soothes the fevered brain Exhausted by life's sorrow and life's pain, A potent draught which stills within the breast Disturbing memories and troubling care: As when a storm is followed by a night Of deep and silent gloom, though no stars bright Are shining through the dark and misty air. Yet I cannot be reconciled to death, Nor rest in dreamless slumber when I know That I shall not awaken to the glow And warmth of life, shall ne-ver feel the breath Of soft, sweet winds that in the morn arise, Or see the storm that brings the darkened skies. The Aeroplane By ARTHUR CHRISTIANSON, '29 Swift into space bewildering the birds Sputtering and coughing as you go Your whistles and your echoes are like words That seem to say, 'AAll freedom do I know. Now earth your goal, you fall a shining dart And fill the air with sudden fear and fright. Now climbing high, you rip the clouds apart Your screaming struts gleam in the dazzling light You are too swift, your aims are far too high, O Monster of man's mind, of metal and cloth. Climbing Leviathan, your upturned nose Now scrapes the smiling moon as it flies by Then scatters all the stars: and there are those Who watch you as you near the gates of heaven Page Eighty sewn T I1 E M Dream Ship By LOUISE JAHN, '29 A silvery barque is sailing on blue seas: Is sailing for some far-off sunny shore, And as it glides so trim before the breeze, It thrills with freedom, and its spirits soar. Its dancing prow cuts through the surging waves That sparkling toss beneath a bluer sky, While 'round its shining snow-white, wind-filled sails, A daring sea-gull swoops so fiercely by. Above the ship in heavens azure depth A fleecy cloud rolls on and on, and seems To race the scudding skiff, so far below. Its buoyant smile uplifts my spirits low, And carries me to lands of Joy and Mirth As so carefree it sails, My Ship of Dreams, 1 . 'Ihe Splre By CARL PETTIJOHN, '29 Cold, grey smoke swirls up into the sky Dirty, shivering sparrows are chirping in the eaves: A lumbering truck rumbles noisily by: Now a chattering squirrel leaps around on the barren bought In the distance a tall gray spire reaches into the air, A few cold pigeons are shivering on its cross. Low, gray clouds scud silently by Making the world seem misty, cold and gray. Hence Jazz! By FRANCIS MILLER. '29 Hence, most discordant Jazz, Of sobbing violins and saX's born: Midst moaning horns and shrill voiced clarinets, Find thee some distant place, still and forlorn And there I do beseech thee dwell, And cast thy uncouth haunting spell Upon a prancing, dancing throng, Who may appreciate your moans, That come from haunting witchful tones, If that is music that you give, Withotlt it I will always live. Willtei' By LILLIAN LUSTMAN, '29 Cold earth, quiet and white, Frozen fires in the distant heighti The anguished wind moans in the night Its sins will give it no respite. Cold earth, quiet and white! Solitude, chill and austere, Silent dawn, lonely and drear: The vague mist rises from the mere, Disturbed from rest by some strange fear. Solitude, chill and austere! Page Eighty-eight T ll E M ' QC 5 annum ' rn? --k, ' l TRACK Through the efforts of Mr. Garding, Mechanic Arts new track coach, the track team made an enviable record for the l929 season. With the absence of baseball, many new athletes turned out for the team. Some of the old members who are doing fine work on the team are Cap- tain Wood in the dashes, the relay team of Wood, Modjeske, Brandl, Harris in the I4 mile, Adams in the shotput, and Rice in the broad jump. Don Lewis is doing fine work with the javelin, and Jimmie Walker is forcing the veterans to look to their laurels, Mechanic Arts track was in poor condition throughout the season, mak- ing it necessary for the sprinters to train on foreign tracks. Nevertheless, Mechanic Arts turned out a fast team which should cer- tainly place among the first two high schools in the Twin Cities.

Upset- ting all pre-season dope, the Trainer cagers romped through the St. Paul high schools annexing the championship and representing St. Paul in the State Meet. They played hard and were the fourth in standings among the high schools of Minnesota. Owing to the large squad, Coach Sundberg had two teams, called A and In the first game of the season, the Blue and White A team lost a one-sided game to De La Salle 20 to 8. The HB team defeated the De La Salle B team 14 to lO. ln a return game the Trainers fought hard but lost again to De La Salle 18 to 13, During the Christmas holidays, the Blue and White cagers lost to the Alumni 48 to 26. After a few weeks of hard play, the Trainers were defeated by Cretin 14-9 while the B team evened the score by defeating the Cretin B team 37 to 8. ln the first conference game of the season, the Blue and White cagers defeated YVashington 19 to ll, in a thrilling game. A week later Coach Sundberg's basketeers were defeated by South St. Paul in the last minute of play, 22 to 21. ln a return game, the Blue and White had their revenge when they defeated the South St. Paul team 21 to 19. In the second conference game, the Trainers romped to an easy vic- tory over Humboldt piling up a score of 38 to 20. Inspired with this victory, the Blue and White decisively defeated Cretin 37 to 9, in an easy style. Three days later, the Trainers played hard to defeat Central 19 to 18, in a game which was easily the best of the season. After a week of practice, Coach Sund- berg's cagers took the play away from Johnson, defeating them 29 to 15, to acquire the crest of the standings. In a close game, two days later, the Train- ers defeated White Bear 20 to 19, in a hard fought game. In the Hrst game Page Ninety-one T II E M 'J of the playoff, the Blue and White team handily defeated their traditional rival, Central 23 to 12. Later the Trainers defeated Humboldt 13 to 12, to advance to the finals. In the finals, the Blue and NVhite fought hard but finally bowed to Johnson 32 to 22, but won the city title on a percentage basis. ln the first game of the State Tournament, Mechanics defeated Hendricks 23-18 in a fast game. The Trainers' superior play finally succeeded in repulsing the rangy team from Hendricks. Doped to lose, the Trainers put up one of the best games of basketball witnessed at the State Tournament games for many years but were defeated by Red Vxfing 18-16 in the last minutes of play when a desperate shot went through the loop. Playing for third place, Me- chanics dropped the last game to St. Cloud 26-16, to obtain fourth place in the State meet. Much credit is due Coach Al Sundberg for the splendid team he obtained from the practically new and green material which answered his first call for candidates. In his first year as a basketball coach, he gave Mechanics a cham- pionship team and a team which ranked fourth in standings at the State meet, KITTENBALL lnter-class kittenball was inaugurated last year, and this year has flour- ished vigorously. Twelve teams from nineteen classes were entered. Games were played at Como Park or at the College and Wabasha field. The season extended from April 30 to Nlay 27. Teams and their sponsors are as follows: English Aces, Miss Parkinson: J. H. Ball Hawks, Miss Heal and Mr. Jarvis, Hot Sparks, Mr. Shirck: Shirck's 1O's, lVlr. Shirck: Wolcott Sentinels, Mr. Wol- cott: Klumsy Klubs, Mr. Critchett: Phantom 10's, Mr. Robbins and Mr. Pfeiffer: Sitzer's Pirates, Mr. Sitzerz Physic Sharks.

I took them home and quickly made a fire, And then into my skillet they were tossed. Most tempting odors floated up to me, Chops sizzled in a lake of golden foam. The phone rang. Whoever could it be? I gossiped with a friend who'd just come home- Then all at once I realized l'd learned That too much fire plus pork chops equals burned.

In their next game on February l, the team downed Humboldt 2 to 1, the game going into two overtime periods. Tuesday, February 5, they took the measure of St. Thomas, 4 to 1 in a slow game on the St. Thomas rink. The championship game was played at the Hipp on February 11, and Central won the title by defeating Mechanics 2 to 1 in a bitterly fought con- test, Mentes was the star of the game, making many difficult stops, Next year the team will be captained by Milford Munson, a veteran de- fense man.

Stars By GLENN LEEMHUIS, '29 With a skyful of stars above my head I do not feel afraid or seem alone, And I can go to sleep on just a bed Of leaves, beneath the sky that roofs my home. No doubt these self-same stars have seen strange things That time has wrought with every fleeting hour- Some joy-some grief-the making of new kings- The irony of fate-the lust for power. I wish the stars might someway let me see Just what the future holds in store for me.

SWIMMING The Blue and White tankers, although defeated for the city champion- ship by Central, 45 to 22, made a very good showing in the other swimming and water polo meets, losing only one other meet to Macaleste'r.

It seemingly is hung With breathless care, upon a huge old stone, It struggles for a dull existence there, Exposed to every storm and wintry blast. Its knotted limbs are torn and scarred and bare. Huge roots reach down to hold it safe and fast, There lived a man, a rugged, steadfast man. Who for our Union and for oppressed slave Unflinching gave his all. He stood upright Before a storm so fierce that other men Bowed down before its path in great despair, But he alone, triumphant, braved the fight. Star-F lakes By DoRoTHY WALLIN, '29 Fairy star-flakes Floating softly down, Won't you tell me where you come from, Where you're going to? Are you bits of frozen star-light? Do you travel from the moon? Are you just the tiny feathers, From a baby angel's wings? I wish that I could travel with you, And see the things you see, And learn the secrets of the spaces, Far beyond the human eye.

The , Coming of the Storm The night is dark, the pale rays of the moon Shine on the storm-clouds massed against thesky In strange, fantastic shapes, while here and there A dimly twinkling star gleams through the veil Of darkness. All about me is the heat Of a warm, sultry night in late July. Then from the north a flash of forked lightning Cuts through the still portentous calm, and soon Deep rolls of thunder like the distant drums Of warring armies smite upon my ear. The calm and quiet scene is changed to one Of deep unrest: down from the lowering sky Pour sheets of blinding rain. The storm has come! Page Ninety-eight Ernest Euerst. Margaret Esch.

Back Seat Driving CWith apologies to John Miltonj By BETTY RAYMOND, '29 When I consider how I learned to drive While Mother voiced suggestions from the rear, Instructing how to shift and how to steer, Confusing me in mind, while I did strive To stop, to start, between the cars to dive, While Mom's advice kept ringing in my ear. Would I be critical if Mother drove? I laughed-absurd, but, thinking, I revive The thought: for I've experience to prove That question wasn't vain: I've found it's true That I do back-seat driving. I must state That I, like Mother, used to fret and stew, Until I gleaned the wealth of Milton's view, They also se-rve who only sit and wait.

'29 When I think of the hours that I have spent In trying to make my half-grown tresses look Like those of some fair heroine in a book. I sometimes am inclined to rise and vent My anger at their state by seizing shears And clipping through the heavy, hanging mass Of tangled hair like mowers through the grass 'Till there is no hair left below my ears. But then I think of how nice it will seem To have my hair in piles upon my neck When other girls are going through the same Trials I went through. Then I sit and dream Of fashioning ways out of the seeming wreck Of looking quite respectable again. +i--- ----- -u-------------in-.---N---M.------.--.------.- ---------------------- i W fb ECHANIC ARTS ANNUAL X was printed by N I N A N N AN .
