POST-WAR JOBS Millions of men who are now in the armed forces will soon be returning to civil' ian life and civilian work. Some veterans already know what they will do-have jobs waiting for them. Others will want to make a fresh start. One could hardly ex' pect, for instance, a young lieutenant to return to his prefwar oflicefboy job. Many temporary war workers will want to estabf lish a permanent career for themselves. In fact, the biggest part of Young America is already, or soon will be, searching for a job with a future. And just what are the industries with possibilities? Some of the following fields are already wellfdeveloped. Others are excitingly new. All offer magnificent chances to those who have imagination and who are willing to learn. Radio is one of the older fields, but the new frequency modulation, which makes possible clearer, staticffree programs, offers a new manufacturing field and opportunities for hundreds of new broadcasting stations- all requiring technicians, artists, engineers, and so forth. Television promises to be a billion dollar industry, for eighty per cent of the homes having electricity will eventuf ally want it. Chemists have found amazing new uses for wood, glass, and light metals. New uses-new jobs! Plastics will come of age during the next decade. The synthetic textile industry will boomffin fact, manuf facturers are already piling up postfwar orders. The frozen'food business offers new jobs to home economists, butchers, storefkeepers, and manufacturers. Some Helds should be treated cautiously as they are apt to he overcrowded. Avia' tion is one of these. It is quite true that all America will take to the air during the next decade, but there is great overexpansion in the aircraft factories of today, and millions of trained pilots and mechanics will pour forth from the Air Force. The future of the automobile industry is also uncertain. Farming is another narrowing businessg what agriculturists there are will be ex' pertly and technically trained. ' After the war there arei going to be thousands of interesting new jobs. Some of these are as yet undreamed of. But this is certain: the best of these jobs are going to the trained and skilled workers. Now is not too early for civilians to begin preparf ing. The educational provisions of the G. I. Bill of Rights will provide training for servicemen. So make your plans! We have a thrill' ing new world at our fingertips. Don't let it slip by! JANE YouNG '45 - THE RESULT OF DISCONTENTMENT America was made by dissatisfied people. We wanted a higher level of living and we got it. If we ever think we've arrived where we want to be, we won't be Amerif cans. Both contentment and discontent' ment have their places in the building of civilization. M. F. H. Contentment, like ambition and most other human qualities, may be either a virtue or a vice. To be discontented and do nothing about it, except to make everyone wretched is like having a bee in one's bonnet because he enjoys the buzzing. It has, however, been chiefly responsible for our comfort, pros' perity, and civilization. The dissatisfaction of Julius Caesar, Pericles, Aristotle and Solon caused them respectively to drive the barbarians from Rome, to have the Parthenon of Athens built, to expand a philosophy, and to compile the earliest code of laws. Discontentment is responsible for the achievements of Christopher Columbus, Cy' rus Field, Thomas A. Edison and Henry Ford. Clara Barton's dissatisfaction with military hospitals led to the organization of the Red Cross, and jane Adams' resentment of the slums in Chicago created Hull House. There are people who are discontented with their government but, who do not take the trouble to inform themselves or vote. This sort has wrecked more good homes and created more general wretchedness than all the floods and cyclones in our history. The lazy sterile brand leads to nothing but parlor oratory and the suggestion that somebody should do something about it. Who's Who in America is full of names of leading citizens who must have been equally dissatisfied. Their names are where they are because they did their work well and prepared for advancement. This is what the poet calls divine discontentnicntu. Contentment, too, can have elements of divinity. The man or woman who has little and loves it, or has much and loves that, is an enviable person. The man or woman s. Prto-r 5 happy in his or her home with an occasional glimpse of mountains or sea reach the height of contentment. That other nagging something produces Fords and Edisons but, it also produces Han' nibals and Hitlers. The wisdom and virtue consist in being content with what we have and not with what we are. This wisdom has made America a great nation, and it will become greater. Our country is made up of human beings behaving humanly, in American freedom. The best of America for Amerif cans is yet to come. CAROLYN PULSIFER '46 POSTWAR EDUCATION Right now, in looking forward to the postfwar world, many are wondering just what will be the educational possibilities. Many men in military service are asking themselves questions like these: Shall I be able to continue schooling when I get home? Shall I receive any help from the govern' ment? and Shall I be too old to study? Certainly, you will be able to continue your studies! The Government expects to provide educations for millions of veterans, by paying each man S50 a month and his school expenses up to S700 a year. Of course you won't be too old to learn. It is much easier to learn when you have developed a greater desire for knowledge. Some veterans are already studying, and of them it has been said: There is less nonsense about the veteran than about the prefward collegian, and he has a greater appreciation of the value of an education. He makes more intelligent use of his avail- able time. You'll have to Hnd a job as soon as you get home? Even so, it would be possible 6 M for you to study an hour or so each day. And, if you prefer vocational training, the Government will pay for your tools and materials, and will give you SSO a month while you train. The High Schools, too, are apt to under' go changes after the war's end. Compulf sory military training should he a part of every boy's education, I think. Readiness for war is no less important than education. Perhaps our education system will be pat' terned in part after the very successful one worked out in Denmark. There, students .F. H. S. PILOT leave school at fourteen to work or to enter military service. If, at eighteen, they have the desire to learn some special thing, they are allowed to go to school part of the year. Of course, this plan would work only if the people earnestly wanted to learn. Education is what remains after we have forgotten all we have learned. It must train the three aspects of man: body, mind, and character. And neither mind nor char' acter can he built without a spiritual element. HUBERT Woonsum '47 'X''lvlvl''I l I X l ! ! !

PILOT 29 Q 1 erG0'5e Hnzxtoflfi for.,5. an is su. ' wiv- - sfs WSL TH A J TE CURING AARON On a stormy evening in October, three figures could be seen cautiously approaching a dismal looking old mill tavern. Joyce Wilsoii, her younger sister, Lillian, and their colored maid, Belinda, were on their way to look the building over with the idea of buying it and turning it into a tea room. As they drew near they could see no lights, which was not surprising as the structure had been deserted for three years. The story was that three years ago on this night an old woman had committed suicide in this very tavern, because of a crime that she had committed many years before. The girls were aware of this fact, but did not know that her spirit was sup' posed to haunt the place! And so, unaware of what strange hapf penings they might be running into, the three cautiously approached the battered weather-worn door. Not heeding the pleas of her sister and Belinda, who wanted to wait until daylight, Joyce was determined that she was going to look the place over immediately. Throwing the beam of her small flashlight over the door, Joyce found the latch, opened the door, and peered in. Assured that every' thing was all right, and that no one was there, she entered and motioned for her sis' ter and Belinda to follow. Joyce flashed the light quickly around the room and spied an oil lamp on the table. The light from the lamp cast dim shadows over the room. The girls noticed that it was practically devoid of furniture. One large table stood against the further wall, with three straight backed chairs grouped around it. On the left side of the room there was a wobbley staircase probably leading to a small attic. To the right was a large brick fireplace, covering practically the entire wall. There was only one window in the room, it looked out on the walk. Two doors led from the roomg through one they had just come from outdoors. Upon investigating, they found that the other one lcd into what they thought must be a shed. The two girls became very much en' grossed in planning how they would attracf tively refdecorate the room. Belinda looked about, talking to herselfg she wished she had never come to this placeg she was sure something dreadful was going to happen very soon, for she could feel it in her bones . As she approached the window and looked out, she saw a face looking in at her. Eyes popping open with fright, she uttered a muffled scream, backed away from the window and ran towards thc girls. I know'd we ncber should hah come to dis place. I just saw de mos' terrible face a lookin' in dat winder at me! As Joyce tried to tell her that she was just imagining things, she was interrupted by a light rap at the door. The three ex' changed glances. Belinda grabbed Joyce imploring her not to open it. Nevertheless Joyce slowly opened the door, and jumped back into the room. 30 M. F. H. Much to her surprise, standing there was a timid looking boy whom she recognized as one of the Freshman boys at the nearby college. After questioning the boy the girls found that his friends had sent him to this place to spend the night, as an initiation into their fraternity. They had also told him the story of how the old woman's spirit was supposed to walk. He said his name was Aaron Slushbottom. The girls found that he was very much in the habit of stuttering. Lillian, about to ask Aaron a question, was interrupted by a low moan coming from behind her. They turned in time to see dark grimy hands clutch Belinda by the neck and draw her into the darkness of the shed. The three could not move. They seemed to be rooted to the floor. Joyce slowly regained her poise, and started to' ward the door through which Belinda had disappeared. Aaron jumped in front of her and begged her not to go near the door. IfIfIf you gfgffgo nfnear tfthat dfdoor s-something wfwill gfgrab y-you tftool Joyce paid no attention to him, thinking more of Belinda than what might happen to herself. She opened the door, shining her flashlight around and calling Belinda! Belinda ! No answer came, she called again, but still no answer. Then things really started to happen! The light flickered and almost went out, as if it had been blown by some invisible person. A blood curdling scream came from the stairway. Strange tappings were heard as if someone were in the walls. A banging was heard coming from the fire' place. All eyes were pinned to that spot. A bloody hatchet fell from the chimney. A withered face with long strangling white hair appeared at the window, screaming as if in pain. During these happenings the S. PILOT girls had been clinging to each other. Aaron had been standing rigid in one cor' ner of the room, too scared to move. Now he managed to stammer: IfI cfcan't s-sfstand anfanfanymoref' Weakly he fell to the floor in a dead faint. The girls tried to revive him, and sud- denly became aware of footsteps coming from the shed. Belinda entered followed by a rather good looking middlefaged man. Aaron had recovered enough to see him. He jumped to his feet. UfUncle, wfwhat afare y-yfyou dfdfdof ing hfhere? Well, son, I will tell you. But first I must thank these girls for coming here to' night. Although I hadn't planned on them, they helped put this over in a big way. IfI dfdon't kfknow w-w-what yfyour tftftftalking about.

Then, slowly. At Fan' ny Gradburn's Hallowe'en masquerade. The ball that Fanny Gradburn gave every October was one of the social events of Evansville. Everyone was invited, and everybody went. Only a death could keep a person away, and deaths were rare at this time of year. People just didn't die before the Gradburn's dance was held. An air of mystery prevailed over the entire village. All were, of course, going in costume, and the very air was electric with secret. Why, girls hardly dared call on each other! To interrupt a tryingfon might mean the loss of a friend. Early in September my sisters and I had locked ourselves in our rooms to begin our mysterious sewing, and henceforth all doors were barred to one and all, save Mother, who was in on all our secrets. Poor Moth' er! Such a fall as she put in! trying simultaneously to hang skirts, lay hems, pin tucks, and decide who was to use the sewing machine, and when. It was on the afternoon of the dance that I slipped out of my Cinderella-atfthe'Ball dress, and carefully hung it in the closet. In five hours I could don those lovely rose taffeta lengths! The hours just before a big event, I think, should be sacred to dayfdreaming. That, I do best while working. You can just imagine what my room looked like after two months of continuous sewing! So I cleaned it. This Cinderella wasn't going to have to return to her 'ashes' when the ball was over! Little did I know---but I am getting ahead of myself. This masquerade was not an unusual one. A bevy of characters, ranging from a rotund Napoleon, to angular Essie Perkins, who tried hard to adopt the mannerisms of a coy Little Bo-Peep. The usual speculaf tions: 'Is that Guy I'Iilton?' or 'Ellen Goldman does make a pretty good witch, doesn't she?' The dancing, music, good comaraderie, general good fun. just an ordinary party. Until eleven o'clock, that is. Our group had gathered in a corner, breathless from the last dance. Couples on the floor were swaying in and out to the music of the 'Sir Roger de Coverly'. We watched. All at once we noticed a dapper little gentleman, dressed in the garb of the early 1700's who seemed to be enjoying himself immensely. He was a unique figure in the 32 M. F. H. ballroom, for in contrast with the bright, newly-costumed throng, he looked as if he might recently have descended from a dusty bookshelf. His knee breeches were stained, the once white shirt and stockings had yellowed with ageg his coat was a sadly wrinkled affair, and his pipe, which stuck out of one pocket, was of a rare old style that would delight the hearts of antique collectors. The suit, very evidently, had been tailored originally for a far lesser figure than his-and a long' ago figure as well, for the costume had long been packed away, judging from the amount of dust which sprayed from his energetic coat tails as he danced. He danced with gallant, oldftime courtliness, and lightly as an Irish elf, if perhaps a bit more puffingly. Altogether he was the oddest, most inf triguing masquerader in the room. 'Who is he?' asked Grace Murdock. Beg pardon--Maid Marian. 'Search mel' answered Robin Hood, but tell me whose house has the oldest rag bag, and I'll tell you!' 'Whoever he is, hc's'authe11tic,' added another. I'vc seen dozens of pictures- 'Picturesl' I interrupted. 'Now I know where I've seen him before. English literaf ture! Why, of course! He-why he is the picture of Sir Roger de Coverley. Ex' actly the same clothes, even to the pipe in his pocketl' 'Eh? Well, thank you, my dear,' said at surprisingly deep voice at my elbow. I turned like a flash. 'I scarcely expected anyone to recognize me, said Sir Roger. Not in this day and age. Er,' with a courtly bow, 'would you care to take a turn with me?' Too surprised to do anything but accept, I presently found myself circling the floor with the erratic little man, who bore such S. PILOT an astounding resemblance to the picture of Sir Roger de Coverley. I determined to discover who he really was. ' 'I suppose that you're actually a very good friend of mine!' I baited. 'But of course,' he beamed. 'You've read me so often! I take a great interest in all my readers, you know. Some have to read me because it's a school assignment. Others feel that the classics of literature-fancy me a classic!-are improving to the mind. And still others really like me. I've always felt you were one of the later. V I was thrilled. 'Well, you certainly have always seemed real. Your'iI hesitated. My friends, I knew, would demand to know the identity of Sir Roger. This wasn't find' ing out. 'Your-fYour-that is, your costumew 'I went on, 'It certainly is cleverly made!' 'Clcverly madcl' he guffawed. Ivlantlike, he grasped the first moment to tell his favorite joke. 'The style of this old coat has gone in and out of style twelve dozen times in my lifetimel' 'Sol' I laughed. 'You don't know your English literature as well as I, Mr. Who' everfYoufAre! Sir Rogefs coat went in and out of style merely a dozen times! 'But,' he reminded me reproachfully. 'Aren't you forgetting that I have lived over a hundred years since the book was written?' He had me there. I decided to try other tactics. Sir Roger de Coverley had been spurned by a lovely widow in his youth, I remembered. So I asked: 'And how is the widow who lives in the next county, Sir Roger? He looked blankly at me. I have him here! I thought exultantly. Suddenly he appeared to comprehend. 'Oh, but of course! You don't know that M. F. H. s. PILOT 33 she finally married me! I always forget that part never was writtenl' 'Sir Roger,' I chided gently, 'near the end of the book you die, remember? And you don't get married!' A 'But there is always Heaven, my dear!' Whoever the chap was, he could talk himself out of anything! As the evening progressed, I laid many a trap to ensnare Sir Roger's impersonator, but all of them he eluded so well that when midnight, the hour for unmasking, arrived, I had but two clues to his identity. First, he was extremely wellfversed in English lit' erature, and, second, he was an expert actor. That much was obvious, and I could guess nothing more. Neither could any of the other guests. As the hands of the clock drew near to the hour, all the masqueraders gathered around the mysterious Sir Roger. Who was he? Well, they soon would know. The music crashed to a sudden silence as the clock struck the first stroke of midnight. The lights flashed out, and in darkness the ballroom waited. Shivering with excitement, I could hard' ly unfasten my own mask. just as the lights came on, I turned to Sir Roger. Gran paused. But Gran , I gasped. Who was he? Nobody could tell. He had disapf pearedf' Disappeared! But, Gran, he couldn't have! But he did. And he left his pipe be' hind him. His pipe? Yes, the old fashioned pipe that was in his pocket. And now, I mused, disappointed, no one will ever know who Sir Roger was. I found out. Gran quietly went on. It was after I came home that night. As I got to the threshold of my room, I noticed that all was not as I had left it. You rc- member that only that afternoon I had cleaned my room. Well I had cleared my table of everything-silk scraps, thread, pat' ternsn-it was absolutely empty when I left for the party. I was bewildered. But I don't see. And now 'that table was not bare. A book was lying there-my English Literaf ture. It was opened to the picture of Sir Roger de Coverleyf' Gran! The picture was the same old gruff, smiling Sir Roger. The yellowed stock' ings-the odd coat. just the same. And yet-Awas it? That pocket looked odd. Something was missing-The pipe! Sir Rogf er's pipe! It was no longer in his pocket. JANE YOUNG '45 PRISCILLA A little eight year old girl was sitting on the grass, listening to Old Sam, an aged Negro servant, who was telling her a story about how nice it had been when the Colonel was home. Little Sam, lying out of sight in the tall grass so that he would not be asked to do any work, had been listening too. They often talked of the Colonel, Priscilla's father, who was lighting against the redcoats. Why just yesterday my mother received word from the Colonel, said Priscilla who in the presence of Sam always called hcr father, Colonel . He said that the red' coats were supposed to arrive at the house this very afternoon and that we were to give them whatever they asked for. He has a plan to cross the river at midnight and catch the redcoats unaware. If everything 34 M. F. H. s. PILOT should not go as planned, a light is to be placed in the window of the hut at the top of Noman's Rock as a signal. Then if the candle is seen they will not cross. This was the scene when sounds of ap' proaching horses were heard and they jumped up to see the redcoats coming. Priscilla was scared but she remembered what her father had written. So the red' coats were given supper and even the best wine in the house. A Luckily little Sam was hiding in the din' ing room closet raiding the cookie jar when he heard one of the redcoats, who was drunk say, Tonight we shall capture the foolish Americans. They will cross the river but we'll be 'waiting No signal is going to be seen for their man is in our camp! Ha! Ha! When little Sam heard this, he rememf bered what he had overheard Priscilla say that afternoon. Shaking, he sneaked out of the closet and ran to Priscilla- The Colonel done gwine be killed. The red' coats know he is across the rifberf' But, said Priscilla, a man will send a signal and warn them. They done capture him, too, sobbed Sam. Priscilla, very frightened, said, The sig' nal must be sent! It must! But she also remembered that the oiiicer had given an order to the guards that no one was to leave the grolinds. She ran up' stairs, stole two candles, put on her little red cloak, and ran down into the garden where she picked a rose. Thus she went to the guard and said, I'll give you this rose if you'll let me through. I've got to go see my grandmother, she's ill and is ex' pecting me. The soldier looked at the pretty little girl who reminded him so much of his own little daughter, far away in England, and he let her pass. What harm can a little girl do? he thought. It was dark now and Priscilla was tired but she struggled on. Finally, she crossed a narrow plank and stepped into the hut. She lighted the candles, then barred the door with a long stick that stood nearby. She might have gone back out but her father might not have seen the signal yet. Soon she heard shouts and could hear the redcoats approaching. When they found that only one could cross over the plank at a time, thus preventing them from breaking down the door, some of the men fired at it. When the door was finally opened one of the soldiers, with a withered rose in his hand, looked mistily at the little girl lying there and wondered about his own. DAWN PELLETIER '47 REX I should like to relate a story of the un' matched loyalty of a dog for his master. This happened early last summer during a commando raid in occupied France. But perhaps I am ahead of my story. It all began two winters ago when a young man, Thaddeus Monroe, was returnf ing late one evening to his home in the London suburbs. After parking his car in the garage, he was hurrying into his house to escape an icy wind when a faint whimper arrested his attention. Stooping over, he picked up a tiny puppy and took him into the house. Since the owner could not be found, Thaddeus kept him. In the ensuing months, the puppy grew to be a magnificent wolfhound, gigantic and powerful. As his body grew, so did his love for Thaddeus. Rex, as he was named, learned all kinds of tricks from his master. In the fall Thaddeus Monroe was inf ducted into the British army. His dog, M. F. H. however, was so lonesome without him that special permission was granted to allow the dog to stay with his master in the barracks. The following winter found Monroe get' ting commando training. By Spring he had been promoted to Corporal. On July 5, 1943, he was one of fifty tough and black' ened men who, on a quay in the small city of Portland, awaited the order to shove off Rex had been locked in Thaddeus' room lest he accompany the group. just as the men were climbing aboard, a giant white form sprang ahead of them. Thaddeus had reckoned without the window of the room in which Rex had been left. He stayed quietly by his master's side until the boat reached Cherbourg on the other side of the Channel. Corporal Monroe had charge of a group of ten men whose duty was to blow up a propaganda radio station about a half mile in from the shore. All went well for the first part of the raid. The customary guards were knifed and charges of T.N.T. were placed around the building. The explosion that followed aroused a large number of Nazis who poured into the street like hornets. They pumped salvo after salvo at the fleeing demolitionists. One of their bullets hit Thaddeus in the thigh. He fell, but the others continued into the darkness. Rex stopped and licked Thaddeus' face. He knew something was wrong and the scent of four Nazis sneaking towards his master didn't add to his com' fort. Rex didn't hesitate. His ancestors had hunted wolves for their living for many years. As one of the searchers lagged behind, he was pounced upon and powerful jaws ripped open his throat without a sound. A second fell the same way. The latter two s. PILOT 35 neared Monroe. Rex didn't wait for these two to separate. Leaping like a rocket, he killed one with a snap of his jaws while the other left so fast Rex didn't try to catch him. Leaning on Rex, Thaddeus soon hopped to the shore as the boat was leaving. Since his master was too weak to hail it, Rex gave his last long howl. Even as the boat sped back, two Nazis emerged from the brush. Rex leaped at one and the other fired six revolver shots into his giant body. A salvo from the boat killed both the Nazis. The dog and master were set on board. Rex feebly licked his Master's hand and then lay still. He had served his purpose as a true commando. He was buried on the beach where he landed. The stone that marks his gave ap- propriately says, Man truly has no greater friend than his dog. KENNETH BRADFORD '47 SIR RCGER ON THE SUBWAY Although we may never stop to think of it, many of us do not appear in the best of taste in public places. We find, if we ob' serve others in a critical way, that things about their dress or actions displease us. I'm sure that if we could change places with some one and observe ourselves that some of us might be slightly jarredg we might even find ourselves blushing. If we would conduct ourselves as if a little gremlin stood on our shoulder directing us to do right this topsyfturvey world might be righted. Perf haps it would be a dull world though, perhaps it might be heaven. Of course it would take some of the variety out of life and people do say, variety is the spice of life . As Sir Roger made his way down the stairfcase leading to the subway he found himself observing his fellow men. He no' 36 M. F. H. ticed many people rushing past him as if their lives depended upon catching the train. Their coatftails were flying behind them, Dagwood Bumstead style, and for all their hurrying they almost inevitably seemed to have a cigarette in their mouths. He nof ticed that no one seemed to see any one else and he missed those greetings of salutation and the little chats that he had enjoyed while on his country estate in England, or, if not enjoyed, he had at least expected them in due regard to his rank of a country squire. But here he was just one among many, his importance swallowed up in this fast moving modern world and, to tell the honest truth, he was rather hurt. As he made his way through the turnstile, he looked around to see if there was any one he knew. just as he turned around the train came ing the crowd swept onto it, and before he knew it, Sir Roger found himself on the train, standing up holding onto a strap for all he was worth. A small child was the only one who seemed to notice Sir Roger. All the other passengers were engrossed in reading their newspapers or sleeping until it was time for them to get off. This child, on seeing Sir Roger, immediately attached herself to him. She didn't seem to mind this rather gruff, though kindly man dressed in his baggy, illditting eighteenth century clothes. In fact Sir Roger seemed glad to think somef one now took notice of him, even if it were merely a child. She grasped Sir Roger's leg just above the knee with her grubby little hand covered with sticky candy. As he smiled down at her she remembered her good manners and offered him a piece of candy. 'Not wishing to offend her, though he felt rather skeptical about accepting those sticky pieces from her bag, Sir Roger bowed as gallantly as he was able in the crowded train and took a piece of candy. S. PILOT just as he was raising the morsel to his mouth the train stopped and, as he lurched around, he forgot the candy and dropped it. When he finally established his equilibrium once more, he found himself suffering a little pain in his toe. He looked down and found the cause, a young woman with high heels was standing on it. He endured it as long as he could and then he asked her to remove her heel from his toe. She turned on him one of her sweetest smiles, as she did this she reminded him so much of the widow who had once jilted him that he winced with pain. Of course she was dressed diff ferently but her smile and the color of her hair was the same. Sir Roger recovered his dignity as well as he could and gruffly thanked her. She began to notice his clothes and would have liked to talk but Sir Roger declined to continue further converf sation. He was still rather upset over see' ing his widow and although he felt he should talk some he didn't feel up to it. He consoled himself by saying it was not necessary to talkg others didn't seem to be. While trying to restore his composure he pretended to be busily occupied reading someones paper as he saw others doing. Suddenly he became alert as he saw the headlines Back Numbers Strictly On The Beam and Super Solid Cupid Catchers. He was surprised to see that he couldn't understand a lot of it. Hadn't he been told that English was spoken here in America? He had hoped to become well liked on this goodwill tour to America but he didn't seem to be making much headway. Now he was getting to the point where he didn't care. He decided that he would be glad to return to his country estate where people realized his worth and importance and treated him with more respect. SHIRLEY Annorr '45 M. F. H PAULA'S FIRST STORY It was the summer of 1944 in the city of Rosemont, New York. It was a very hot afternoon when Paula Haskell--ewarm and tiredf--came into the ofhce of the Daily Herald. It was about the fiftieth place she had been that day. At first she had tried to get a job as a stenographer, but she hnally gave that up. She had just heard the Daily Herald needed a new reporter, so she had come to try to get the job. She walked over to the office that said Mr. Thompson, Editor on the door. As she came nearer the door she stopped short. She heard a man yelling at the top of his lungs and banging on his desk. The next thing she saw was a girl coming out at top speed. The minute she saw Paula she said to her, Are you applying for a job, by any chance? Paula hesitated a moment and then said, Yes, I was going to, but I guess they don't need anyone. As Paula started away the girl caught her arm and said, Oh! Yes, we do! You come with me. Don't be afraid of Mr. Thompf son. He was just yelling for a new re- porter, that's all. Paula was practically dragged into the oflice, where she met Mr. Thompson. He was just a little man. Paula couldn't see how such a small man could make such a big noise. Paula was given the job at once. She also learned that the girl who dragged her into the oilice was Roberta Shaw, a star reporter. They had been out of the oifice ahout five minutes when Mr. Thompson called them back. As they refentered his office he turned to Paula and said very sweetly, Well, Miss Haskell we have an assignment for you already. You will assist Miss Shawg I am sure that if you will keep your eyes s. PILOT 37 and ears open, you will learn much from her about the ways to scoop a story. Of course Paula was excited. Her first story coming up! Roberta was excited too-she always was when there was a story in the oiling. Well, said Mr. Thompson, beginning to relate the facts surrounding the new assignment, I just got word that Miss Page, Mrs. Humperdinck's niece, has been murf dered. The police think the old girl herself did it. After Mrs. Humperdinck notified the police, she hid the body, for she said the dead must rest in peace. I want you girls to dig up that story and find out what it is all about. Hurry up now! The two girls hurried over to the old mansion where Mrs. Humperdinck lived. As they were going over Roberta said.to Paula, I don't want to frighten you, but this old lady is a queer one and they say her house is haunted. Paula said she liked haunted houses and loved mysteries. When they got to the mansion there was a detective at the gate. When Roberta saw the detective she groaned and said, Oh, there is Danny Whittemore! He's as stub' born as a mule, and will never let us in. We can try anyway, can't we? He might he in good humor today, said Paula as they came up to the gate. Roberta asked Danny, but all he would say was, 'Tm sorry Roberta, it's against the rules to let reporters in, but I promise to let you know as soon as any are allowed. That's the best I can do for you. Roberta was very disgusted and walked off. After they had gone a little way down the street, she said to Paula, Now is your chance to show whether you like haunted houses or not. Paula was surprised and said, What are you planning to do? 38 M. F. H. Well, said Roberta, There is a back gate to that mansion that not many people know about. It's halffhidden by bushes and trees. We have to go through the cemf etery in back of the house and the best time to go is tonight after dark. Are you still with me? Of course I am, I wouldn't miss this for anything, said Paula excitedly. Meet me at the corner of Park and Main Streets at ninefthirty tonight, and dress in black or something dark, Roberta called as she left her. That night at nineffifteen, Paula was waiting at the appointed place. She had come early because she was too excited to stay home any longer. Roberta arrived at just ninefthirty. Then they started out toward the cemetery. It was very quiet there and it seemed to take hours for them to creep by the massive gravestones. Suddenly there was a noise behind the girls. They stopped short and looked around them. It was only a black cat scampering up a tree. They both gave a sigh of relief and started on again. I don't see why black cats have to come into the cemetery at night, muttered Ro' berta, quickening her pace. At last they came to the gate, but it was closed and locked. Now we are in a spot, said rather disgustedly, That horrible through the cemetery for nothing! I wouldn't say that if I were you, said Roberta, We'll just have to find way in. Why don't we try climbing the fence? It doesn't look very easy but we can try, Paula said, as she started to climb up the high fence. That's a swell idea, but I only hope they haven't any dogs, said Roberta, following Paula's example. Paula walk SOITIC s. PILOT It wasn't as easy as they thought it would be, but at last they were over. They started creeping toward the house when they heard a great noise behind them. A large police dog was chasing them. They ran into the first doorway they could find and made it just in time, for the dog was coming so fast he couldn't stop. He bumped into the door and knocked himself unconscious. The girls were glad of that and were relieved that the dog gave them no further trouble. The door they had chosen opened into the cellar. Well, said Roberta in a whisper, This is a good place to begin, anyway. Yes, it is, but I certainly am thankful I brought my flashlight. Maybe now we can End our way out of here, said Paula, look' ing around. With the help of Paula's flashlight they found their way out of the cellar and up into the kitchen. They started walking about the house searching for the body of the murdered girl. As they came into the large livingfroom, Roberta, who was ahead, stopped short. Paula wondered what was the matter. When'she looked into the livf ingfroom, she held her breath, for there in a long white robe, walking toward the fire' place, was a young girl. The two girls stood there staring, not daring to move. When the whitefclad Hgure got to the fire' place, it opened up and she stepped inside. After it closed behind her, the girls looked at each other in surprise. When Roberta at last found her voice she said, That was Joan Page, the girl who is dead! Paula was now very frightened and said, Then how can she walk? I don't believe she is dead, said Rober- ta, walking over toward the fireplace. When she stepped on the hearth, the Ere' place opened. The girls thought quickly M. F.II and decided to go inside and find out where joan Page had gone. just as they were about to enter, they heard a shrill voice coming from behind them. They turned to face an old woman with stringy white hair hanging in untidy locks about her face. She was shaking her cane at the girls and screaming, Leave joan alone! She must take her evening walk! Can't you leave the dead in peace? Roberta stepped up to the old lady and said, Now you look here, Mrs. Humper' dinck, you can't scare me! Joan Page is not dead. It would not surprise me at all if you had given her some drug. , Why you nosey, insolent girls, I'll repay you for speaking like that to me! As she spoke Mrs. Humperdinck raised her cane to strike Roberta, pust at joan Page came in through the fireplace. The cane hit Joan instead of Roberta and she fell to the floor unconscious. In the confusion which followed, Paula whisked the frail Joan into her arms and carried her into the library and laid her on the couch. Paula now fully realized that Joan was not a walking corpse, but that she had been the victim of her aunt's twisted mind. After several attempts to bring joan hack to consciousness, Paula finally sucf ceeded in causing the girl's eyelashes to flutter. In no time at all the girl's mind seemed to have cleared and she told Paula how her aunt had often said that she would like to give the townspeople a good scare, never dreaming that she herself would be the means of satisfying her aunt's insane desire. She must have drugged my food and caused me to be in a hypnotic spell, related the confused joan. I suppose I might have gone on like that forever, if you girls had not come to my rescue, and if my aunt had not accidentally hit me. I'Iurray! thought Paula, I guess this is s. mror 39 what Mr. Thompson would call a 'scoop'. Hurrying to the telephone, Paula quickly related all the details to the overjoyed Mr. Thompson. After a weary night of getting joan to a nearby hospital, and helping the police to take Mrs. Humperdinck to the asylum, Paula and Roberta parted to return to their separate homes. The star reporter was heard to say, Good work, Paula, you have made a good start. Thanks, came the sleepy reply, You know, I think I am going to like my new job very much. JANET Caoorciia '48 SPRINGTIME The slender fingers of the dawn, Stole 'cross the sky at early morn, As earth from sleep was waking, The waning moon crept out of sight, As yellow streaks of morning light Around the world were breaking, That Spring has come there is no doubt, Wheii stuhbles drear, green grass does sprout With birds the South forsaking, From hibernation comes the bear, And foxes leave their winter's lair And all the world is mating. No more doth winter's icy hand, Keep dominion o'er the land, Gripping her waters tightly, Each tiny brooklet freely flows Bubbling with laughter as it goes,- Singing its song so lightly, Along its banks the alders sway Wafted by springtime breezes gay Above the sun shines brightly, Then lovers leave their worldly care, And look for romance everywhere Summoned by springtime nightly. M.ARILYN MORTIMER '45 M. SPRING God gave us the spring, A most frivolous season, When people's actions Have no rhyme or reason.
