THE MEDINIAN Thiny-One for herself. When it appears that she might be discovered, she hides the articles on members of the family. Q . Now Mr. Carr is a very absentfminded gentleman and is considered by his wife to be a kleptomaniac. Of course, because of this infirmity, he is always blamed for everything which comes up missing. But it happens that the maid slips a ring box into Mr. Cluney's pocket, and when it is found on him, Dr. Willoughby, the best man, who, in the course of events, proposes to another of the Carr daughters, Joan, tells James that he too must be a kleptomaniac. Cluney, desperate, telephones police headf quarters for a plain clothes man to come and watch him. The maid has an associate in carrying out the plot to. rob the household in the person of Jack Doogan, her iiancee. While he and Nell are collecting things in the living room, the detective from headquarters is-heard outside. Doogan hides, but is discovered and -so poses as Mr. Cluney. He very cleverly plans a case for the detective and tells him to return later. When he encounters Mr. Cluney and the Carr family he poses as the detective, and as such, gains the knowledge of where all the valuables in the house are kept. In the meantime some steel stock certificates which Mr. Jamison, a friend of Mr. Carr, has given him as security on a loan, disappear from the safe. Mr. Jamison comes for the certiiicates and while at the Carr home his money is stolen. He immef diately swears out a search warrant and brings the Sergeant of police and two officers back with him. Doogan succeeds in stalling off the police by getting hold of the warrant, which he slips into Mr. Carr's pocket. Mr. Jamison goes after another warrant and, while gone, the real detective returns. He is readily recognized by the police as 'Joe Thompson, a member of the plain clothes force, and Doogan is proved an impostor. The stolen goods are recovered, the charge against Doogan and the maid is not pressed. Dr. Willoughby obtains Joan's consent to marry him, and the day ends happily in a triple wedding.

Th1ffyTW0 THE MEDINIAN Class Motto By NORENE CARLTON Launched, but not anchored. How different the meaning of those two words! Anchored. The voyage completed, the storms weathered, the dan' gers overcome, the ship is at rest in the harbor with the mission accom' plished upon which it was sent. But launched! What a contrast therel' For long months, perhaps years, the ship has been in the process of construction. The keel has been laid, the staunch ribs have been placed, the decks are all firmly hxed, every plate has been riveted fast in its place. The pilot house is complete with its marvelous steam steering gear attached to the rudder. Everything is in readiness for the moment when the Mas' ter Mechanic will give the word to loose the last brace. Then-the last brace is loosed and the great ship at last goes to meet the element ,for which she was made. She is launched, ready to sail wherever the Capf tain may direct. So we, the Seniors of '27, have come through the process of conf struction. We have carefully laid the foundations upon which we are to build our futures. Everything is in place, and we are about to set out upon the great voyage over the sea of life. May we have builded well so that we will be able to combat and at last overcome the swells and storms which we shall encounter on this great sea. We are now launched, but we know not yet where we shall anchor. Class Picture By MAXINE FULMER v Q If I were an artist and were told to paint a picture of the class of 1927, I am sure that, judging from the original, my finished work should be a masterpiece. Not being an artist either in oils or in words, I can but attempt to leave a vague impression on your minds of the glowing achieve' ments of these illustrious young ladies and gentlemen. The class of f27 consists of 33 girls and 28 boys. In this total of 61 students we find great musicians, athletes, orators, farmers, sodafslingers, dressmakers, also pests and jokers. Our tallest men are Carl Roth, Jr., and Donald Wade, each extending five' feet eleven inches into space, while Harold Ausman has the distinction of being the shortest, for he is five feet two inches short. The weight ranges from one hundred and fourteen pounds to one hundred and sixty'
