Thirteen T H E M 1 R R o R The Junior High School Faculty No one can ever accuse the Junior High School faculty of being an exclusive body. Indeed, the members feel themselves important parts of the Senior High School staff, and have seldom indulged in activities of their own. They always insist upon being included with the Senior High School teachers in their faculty meetings and social events. There are three groups into which tl1e Junior High School faculty may be divided: The Shack Dwellers, the Specials, and the New Arrivals. What,s in a name? Pray do not draw an unfavorable conclu- sion concerning the Shack Dwellersf' Indeed, the title tells a whole history of trials endured and battles won. During the erection of our new building this group dwelt in a rudely constructed edifice, which, after the spring rains, was a veritable Cottage by the Lake? Miss Newnham held sway over her domain, and succeeded in ruling with a firm but kindly hand. Miss Lenahan's kingdom was Room 13. There she imparted valuable information concerning consonants and vowels Hlld crossing your i's and t's. It is said that Miss Corbin, the source of authentic information on American History, while working in the Shack composed the song, the first stanza of which runs something like this: My name is Yankee Doodle and my home's the U. S. A., I'm getting pretty husky now and growing every day. Columbus brought me over here in 1-192, And landed me on Plymouth Rock to see what I could do. The task of teaching English was intrusted to Miss Laird. During the period spent in the Shack the special teachers rather avoided the Junior High School, but, since the department has been honored by positions in the new building, they have deigned to con- sider it rather important, after all. Miss Peterson and Miss Landy are teaching the girls the art of homemaking, Miss Felts and Mr. Krum develop the artistic, Mr. Peck, Miss Knights, and Miss Church are especially interested in the physical well being of the pupils, Miss Dafoe is the songster, while Mr. Scofield teaches the boys to wield the hammer and plane. With the removal of the department from the Shack to the new building came the New Arrivals. No longer is Miss Davidson's Sixth A Grade in the elementary school. lt has been included in the Junior High School. Miss Wilson, whose Medina past has been spent at the Oak Orchard School, now is on the Junior High School English staff. It is quite evident that they feel most honored in being included in this august body. . Fourteen THE MIRROR Here e11detl1 the tale of the Junior High School faculty-they who believe with Elbert Hubbard that it is best to Co-operate and us.s'fi.st-not criticize and find fault. - -Olga R. Laird. A Plea for Our Faculty By rt Student. . For some reason the students of M. H. S. have been finding fault with their faculty for the past few months. Whether there is really cause for this or whether it is merely one of those brief, unreasonable spasms to which students are subject, I do not know. Nearly every night one can hear some student complaining about a teacher because she has kept l1in1 for whispering or a carelessly prepared lesson. Stop a moment, students, and think before you thus berate the teachers. They are doing it only for your own good, not for their amusement, for most teachers do not like to keep pupils after school any better than the pupils like to stay. Much of t11e discord between the faculty and students is due to a lack of understanding, I believe. If the students would only con- sider the teachers as their friends and try to work with, rather than against them, there would be less bitter feeling on both sides. The students of Medina High School ought to be proud of their faculty. No other school in tl1e vicinity has teachers of such high mo1'al and scholastic attainments as those teaching in the Medina schools. People who move away from Medina write back to tell us that we don 't realize how fortunate We are to have such good teachers. And really I don 't think that we do fully appreciate their true worth. Through the earnest efforts of tl1e teachers and the increasing enthusiasm of the students, Medina High School has reached a high degree of scholastic attainment. Our record is now among the high- est in the state, and our school is rated as one of the best. VVithout the splendid teachers wl1on1 it has been our good fortune to secure, it is scarcely probable that Medina would have attained thus early the standing which she now has. A diploma from Medina High School is one of 'which to be proud and one which is worth much more than gold. Take care, I warn you, how you spend your school days and remember that some day in the not far distant future you will have the honor to Win one of these diplomas. See that you do your best throughout your course and be Worthy of your diploma, of what it stands for- your own Work and that of your teachers who have done their best to lead you in the paths of learning. ' Teachers of history, science and math, Guide us so surely along the rough path. Fifteen THE MIRROR Teachers of English, of Latin, and French, Our thirst for language efficiently quench. Let us all recognize our teachers' worth, And treat them befitting the Salt of the earth. Let us give credit where credit is due, And be happy in friendship that's loyal and true. Let us work valiantly each day and hour, Knowing full well that Knowledge is power. If each M. H. student will do his full share, He may feel without question his teacher'll be square, And if we in harmony peacefully labor, With naught but good will to our friend and our neighbor, We ,ll know the true happiness evil e'er smothers And find that it's easy to do unto others. -Eleanor Hill. A Tribute to, Our Students By a Member of the Faculty. Joseph Morris has put into verse a little fable about two small raindrops born in the same shower. One was so proud of what he might become that he hustled away to swallow the ocean. In vain the thirsty grass called to him for a drink, and the stranded ship beckoned to him for help. But he took no notice of such trifling things, for he was on his way to astonish the big, wide sea. Reaching there, He leaped into the sea with a puff and a blare. But nobody even knew he was there. But the other drop as it trickled along found work to do on its way. lt bathed the grass which was almost dead, refreshed the lilies grow- ing near the brook, got under the ship, and helped it on its way again, all the while singing a cheerful song, content with its place in life. An ocean it said, ' ' there could not be Except for the millions of drops like me. As a faculty we are proud of our school, proud of the beautiful building which calls forth our best efforts as a means of expressing our appreciation of it, proud of the fact that Medina High School has been able to reach and maintain a high record in scholarship. But the success which has come to the school, as a whole, has been due to those raindrops which have given unstintingly of themselves-those pupils of the Medina High School who have gone the second mile in their service to their school, in the promotion of a friendly spirit in the school, and in the preparation of their daily work. There is no Royal road to learning, and most of the pupils have Sixteen T THE MIRROR discovered that the great adventure in Education is found in the con- ouest of each difficulty which presents itself, in the faithful and con- scientious preparation of each day's work, and in the keen competition, not so much with one another, as with themselves-the determination to equal and surpass themselves. It is only because the students of Medina High School have that spirit that our school has been able to attain a standard somewhat higher than tl1e average high school in New York State. It ain't tl1e individual Nor tl1e Army as a Whole, But the ever-lasting team-work Of every bloomin' soul. Being created individuals with vastly different natures, We do not always think alike, and consequently difficulties sometimes arise. But after all, t'We's all des human, des common clay, Des need a little help to make Work play. Because of this, may you find in us, the faculty, as We have found in you, an inner spirit of helpfulness, friendliness, courtesy, and a sincere clesilc to do the right thing at all times! Then in after years when memories of the days spent in Medina lligh School co111e trooping back to us, our joys will be renewed, and within our hearts we shall say: ' It's just sweet memory that chants this refrain, I'm glad I touched shoulders With you. -Ruth E. DeLand. The Psalm of the Good Teacher The Lord is my teacher, I shall not lose the way. He leadeth me in the lowly path of learning, He prepareth a lesson for me every day, He bringeth me to the clear fountains of instruction Little by little he showeth me the beauty of truth. The.world is a great book that he hath written, He turneth the leaves for me slowly, They are all inscribed with images and letters, He poureth light on the pictures and the Words. He taketh me by the hand to the hill-top of vision, And my soul is glad when I perceive his meaning, Seventeen 2 Eighteen THE MIRROR In the valley also he walketh beside me, In tl1e dark placfes he whispereth to my heart. Even though my lesson be hard it is not hopeless, For the Lord is patient with his slow seholarg He will wait awhile for my weakness, And help me to read the truth through my tears. -Henry Van Dyke Contentment Trail Over the rise and down the vale Leads the lane of Hflontentment Trail, And the happiest hearts are those who know It isn't where but how we go. He travels best who finds eaeh day The joys of life along the way- Contentment blooming by his path, VVl1atever his prosperous neighbor l1atl1. The fairest flowers grow beside Our daily path, and Walk or ride, He holds the sweetest blooms at last Who stops to pick as he wanders past. ' -Frank Hill Phillips.

VVe have l1ad cherished ambitions, only to see their hazy glory fade away as fog before the morning sun. But the very heights to which our ambition soared have produced results, which, we trust, are not unworthy, and our labors are now turned over to those who saw fit to place this responsibility with us. Our acknowledgments are due to many-to our advertisers, who have contributed so largely to our financial success, to the student body in general, which so willingly contributed its editorials, stories, and write-ups of items of interest, to the Superintendent of Schools for his efficient advice and encouragement, to the helpful care of the faculty, and to the splendid co-operation of The Mirror staff. We feel particularly indebted to the Associate Editor-in-Chief, Helen Gillmeister, who has relieved us from the drudgery of the col- lection of manuscripts and the reading of copy and proof 3 to the faith- ful typists-Margaret McCarthy, Avis Groff, Elsie Groff and Hubert Krompart-who have spent many hours after school and on Saturdays in the typewriting of material, and to Miss Ferguson, our English Critic, who has helped us plan and arrange tl1e contents of this book. The compilation of The Mirror of 1924 we have endeavored to make something of a joy to our overtaxed minds, and we hope that the new features will be favorably received. 4 ' Our dedication, as you have seen, is to the parents of the school children. When we consider the new high school and the increased facilities for gaining an education, our hearts are certainly full of gratitude for their sacrifice to make these greater advantages possible. We present this book to our classmates, to the faculty, to the alumni, and to the community at large. May you find here a record of such triumphs and defeats as will increase your love for your Alma Mater, and deepen your reverence for the spirit of M. H. S. sf e- -The Editor. Are You Doing Your Part? Someone has said, Intelligent co-operation is the life of big business. We might truthfully repeat this thought and substitute any enterprise for business For what has so much to do with success or failure in a project as the amount of effort exerted in the right way by all engaged in it? Boosting is the word which sums up the meaning of eager co- operation and endeavor. Since the erection of a new high school building the amount of boosting has been considerably augmented, Twenty-four T H E M I R R O R but even yet there is considerable room for improvement along ,tl1is,,, lme. twin, Medina High School has risen to a most enviable position as ree gards scholarship, but that which is now needed, ismalrevival of en- thusiasm among the students. A 3 Boost and the world boosts with you. Knock'land.. you knock, alone. Opportunities to knock are few, but opportunities tp boost are many. V Talk about your school. How are people to know about it, if your only comments upon it are grumbles at heavy lessons or strictgteachers? The most efficient way to boost is to talk it up, whereveriyou go, This kind of boost.ing should not be boasting and mere lml11ff,,fo,igii The fellow wl1o lives on a bluff deserves a good shove, as SQIIIQQMHVQL, has commented. ' ' I ,V I 1 Obviously, the principal method of boosting is to devote.yo,ur,time, to any high school affair and to attend. We need a united studentbgdy, which will support teams and every school enterprise, one which Wagga, not iely upon its own eliques to put things across. A . Large assemblies can arouse enthusiasm quickly, if managed in the light manner. Parties which include everybody in the school would help. Indeed, a combination of activities would be the most likely manner of producing boosters. M A Let us all strive for this condition with our example and talk! we reach a day when Medina High School will stand as a shining cgi, I. ample of school spirit, athletic activities, sociability, and Sciioiaysiijpgg , , - - , gl .i. and when every fellow or girl from the school will be a booster for- M.

It had never entered Goliath 's head before, but now l1is mind was suddenly opened to the glorious possibilities, of youth. A The deep impression that David made needs to be duplicated, at least in the thought of M. H. S. students, lest they let the enthusiasm! Twenty-uve Is the booster, every time! . THE MIRROR of youth die away without making the best possible preparation for their life work. There are two motives that usually influence a High School grad- uate to go to college. One is to make a living, which is honorable and helps mightily to reduce the number of parasites and street corner Ioafers of life, the other is to make a life, which is still higher as an ideal. The one emphasizes a material ideal-money for existence, for power, or for pleasure, the other emphasizes character-a life career or development of the individual for tl1e betterment of the family, the community and the state. For the first group, statistics show that a college education multi- plies the value of a life career over a common school and a high school education by 9 1-3, over a common school education by 215, over no school education by 817. Of the notables in f'Who's Who, out of 10,000 men considered successful, 7,700 have had a college education. There are 352 times more men in the House of Representatives and 530 times more U. S. Senators with University training than without. These figures are very suggestive in these days of intense competition when the weakest are being pushed to the wall in finance and industry, and the inefficient are shouldered out. The best preparation is none too good. Why give the other fellow 9 1-3 times your chance? For the life career group, chemical experts l1ave shown that a 150 pound man contains just enough fat for seven bars of soap, enough iron for two ten-penny nails, enough salt to season one hard-boiled egg, sugar for one cup of coffee, lime enough to whitewash one medium- sized chicken coop, and enough sulphur to rid one Pomeranian dog of fleas. The whole collection of junk is worth 98 cents. It is just be- cause we have too many 98c men today that high school students should go to college. Here, a student may find himself and his sphere in life. The earnest student will come out a thinker. VVhere the un- trained see but little he will see much. Nature, art, literature, science, as well as friends, will mean more to him as his life is broadened. Dr. Clausen says you are not worth what you own or control but only the difference you make in the sum total of happiness that you leave be- hind you. Your training in college with such an ideal in mind will enrich the work-a-day world. -R. R. Mattoon. What ls The School For? A Every year just before school opens the old argument begins: How much 'shall we spend on our school? The pupil with a theory, the practical teacher, the parent, the school board, all take up their cudgels. And because there are millions of children, and the motto, Twenty-six ' THE MIRROR The greatest good for tl1e greatest nun1ber,', must be kept in view, the individual pupil with his particular needs and preferences gives way to the group and the groupls most obvious requirements. The study of the foreign languages is a splendid discipline for the mind, and it furnishes a background of culture. Higher mathematics opens the door to the sciences, and tl1e student who familiarizes him- self with any one of the modern languages is brought into touch with the great world outside his own environment. The United States has rightly made attendance upon school com- pulsory. In our schools the child is first taught the things fundamental to education-correct English, arithmetic, geography. algebra, geome- try, and tl1e science of government as it relates to our own country. Given this groundwork, the students may branch out for themselves, and one, who sets his goal high enough, may accomplish almost any- thing l1e wishes to accomplish. The true test of any educational system is the worth of its citizenship. Education is the most economical way of producing good citizens. The loftiest hope of a parent for his child is not too lofty an ideal for the community. Therefore, our present day schools are exactly what we make them. It is not up to the teachers and the Board of Education alone, to make them a success. lt is the duty of every citizen and student to help, and to show his appreciation of tl1e good work and interest taken in our schools of today. The question arises, How can each student help? This is very easily answered and, in some cases, more easily said than done. Take part in more of the school activities, and show more school spirit, or in other words, Put your shoulder to the wheel and push. -Grace DeLong. Medina High School's Need There is one need that seems to stand out above all the other needs, which I. call to mind, and perhaps this is because of its vital relation- ship to everything the school does. This vital need is commonly called school spirit. You have heard many pleas to come out to games and show your spirit, but did you ever stop to think of what you have done to help Medina High School take its place among tl1e best schools of the state? Try it, and you will be surprised. Try to analyze your feelings at this point, when thinking of the opportunities you have had, and perhaps you will Hnd the Let George do it attitude, and you allow it to pass by thinking of the other person. We often hear that the school life is dead, but when we pass by the opportunities that would better tl1e school what can we expect? Are you willing to do your part to help along tl1e attempts to vary this monotony or have you the Let George do it attitude? Ask your- Twenty-SBVEH THE' MIRROR selves what the school would be like if everyone were like you, and you maybe shocked at the conclusion you will draw. What is it that causes this attitude among us, that someone will do what we don't feel inclined to do? VVhy is it that, whenever a little matter comes up, we haven't the ambition to carry it through, and all the ability of tl1e students vanishes when they are asked to contribute their assistance. Everyone has ability, but it must be used before it will do l1in1 and the school any real good. Then, let us all willingly do the thing which we are called upon to do and pull together toward that which is most needed by the school-a splendid school spirit. -Donald Cooper. The Need of a Public Speaking Course in lVl. I-l. S. m EDINA High School offers to its students almost every course W given in the average high school. In connection with several courses, such as Latin and English, clubs have been formed to further the interest in both of these subjects. There is one course, how- ever, that is lacking in the Medina High School-namely the Public Speaking Course, which is very popular in many other schools. Why not, then, introduce a Public Speaking Course with'a special clocution teacher at its head? From this class a Dramatic Society could be formed-a society which is very much needed in our high school. There could be no course that would be any more beneficial to a student throughout l1is life than this one. Have you ever been present at a banquet or at any meeting where some one was called on unex- pectedly to give a toast or a speech? Did he get up and make a speech worth-while-or, was he embarrassed because he had nothing to say? Iilxtemporaneous speaking is one of the many useful points brought out in this course, so that anyone taking it should be able to speak at a 1non1ent's notice. One is also taught poise, grace, and the proper enun- ciation in speaking, wl1icl1 of course are great assets to any one. With the Public Speaking Course, a Dramatic Society could easily be maintained. Not only would such a society afford amusement, but it would give pupils experience in speaking before an audience-some- thing that is for most people, a hard thing to do. So why not introduce a Public Speaking Course into the Medina High School 0?-Mary Menke. ---1 A Plea For The Freshies We may snub you, little Freshies, but we like you just the sameg It isn't 'cause you're clever, but just because you're game. Four years ago I was a Freshman. Far worse than that, I was a Freshman from the country, or what is commonly known as a hay- Twenty-eight THE MIRROR seed. Moreover, I was scared. Add to this an unsympathetic audi- ence for my acts of folly, and you have the heights of misery. But I have nothing to complain of. Braiding of tl1e hair and the ornamentation of it with little red strings and pieces of wool had been abolished the year before. Running tl1e gauntlet and similar barbaric practices had also found their way into oblivion. Moreover, everyone seemed to realize my greenness, and was as good to me as could be leasonably expected. IVhen I obtained those longed-for nineteen cou11ts, in my turn I began to look down upon the lower-elassmen. I was promoted to a place in Miss IqlDg,S,l101Il9 room. True, it was only the front seat, just in front of her desk, but close proximity to the instruetor's desk has always been my fate. When I became a Junior, I was again seated beside the teacherls desk. In that case, as it happened, we were seated in regard tok our nuniber of counts rather than as to our deportment. My first happy thought was that I would be allowed to attend tl1e Junior-Senior picnic, the seeonl tl1at I would sit in the Senior Study Hall. And then came the unhappy news to disturb my bliss-the Freshies were to sit up- staiis. It was disgusting that such ignorant creatures were to be allowel to have a room directly across from that of the Seniors, and to iringle with tl1en1 on equal terms. This year I am satisfied. The Freshies are separated from the hiqhei elassmen, and are not obliged to endure their snobbish looks anl clever little verses. Now the misguided, egotistie creatures are set oif by themselves, where they can seek tl1e sympathy of their own lind. ' Seriously, though, we do admire the Freshies, and know that when we entrust the welfare of our school to their hands they will do all within their power to maintain or even to raise the standard that we have set. But there is one question which we must all ask ourselves, t'Are we doing all in our power to make the Freshman willing to work for their Alma Mater? I do not think we are. Of the three societies or clubs i11 M. H. S., not one is open to the Freshies.'l The Juniors and Seniors have proms and dancesg the Freshmen have no social life con- nected with the school. They have absolutely no way to become ac- quainted with the higher elassmen except, of course, by casual contact during school hours. A Girls' Club has been mentioned us a possible solution to this diffi- culty for tl1e girls. Six years ago an attempt to carry on a Girls' Vlub proved unsuccessful, and we have no reason to believe that the difficul- ties then encountered have been removed. Twenty-nine THE MIRROR But, Freshies, Why don't you start a club of your own? Why don't you show the upper classmen that you have backbone, and a good one, too? And then, occasionally, why don't you invite us upperclass- men to your festivities? We'll accept with pleasure. You'll see we aren't so haughty and stiff-necked as tradition says we should be. And probably welll see what fine people you really are! -Helen Ives. Success Success is tl1e result of achievement-the reward of patient and honest endeavor. It is realizing the profits of hard work and thought. There is not a pupil in our schools or, in fact, a person in the world who does not hope, and honestly so, to succeed. Yet there are a great many who are not a success in life because they do not realize that success, just like any other great structure, must be solidly built from its foundation up. Each person is endowed with the necessary qualities to succeed. Almighty God has given us those physical, mental a11d spiritual re- quirements, which, if properly developed, cannot help but bring sue- cess. The difficulty with most people, and especially boys and girls of high school age, is that they have no initiative, no objective toward which to work, no goal set for the future culmination of their efforts, They just seem to flounder on life's surface, buffeted about, without reaching any place. The result is that many fail whereas, if they could have Worked and striven and thought each day toward that coveted goal, success could but have been the result. Success is rarely an accident. It does not come in a day or a week. It is the result of hard, patient work, of years and years of labor and effort, and the person who would succeed must build each day and each year toward it. Let us remember that success is not alone measured in dollars and cents. One may have much, but not be a success. In our success we must develop these gifts of charity and gratitude. We must turn in grateful feeling to those who have helped us on our Way and we must exercise that charity, which does not consist alone in alms-giving, but as Well that kindly spirit which reaches out to relieve the burden or distress of someone less fortunate than ourselves. One Writer gives this recipe for success: It's doing your job the best you can And being just to your fellow man, It's making money-but holding friends, And staying true to your aims and ends, It's figuring how and learning why, Thirty THE MIRROR And looking forward and thinking high, And dreaming a little, and doing much, It's keeping always in closest toucl1 With what is finest in word and deed, It's being thorough, yet making speed, It's daring blithely tl1e field of chance Wliile making labor a brave romance, It's going onward despite defeat. And fighting staunchly, but keeping sweet, It's being clean and it's playing fair, It's laughing lightly at Dame Despair, lt's looking up at the stars above And drinking deeply of life and love, It's struggling on with the will to win, But taking loss with a cheerful grin, It's sharing sorrow and work and mirth, And making better this good old earth, It's serving, striving through strain and stress, It's doing your noblest-that's Success. Thus, let us analyze our lives, square ourselves with the require- ments of success-and advance upward and onward. -Alice Cleary. - To Lead or Not to Lead-That is the Question! In every line of endeavor today, there is a common problem-that of finding leaders to carry on the work. Why this condition? Do we lack men with skill, with mental ability, with ambition? We know that such is not the case, but the lack is of men possessing these attributes plus convictions, character, and the courage of their convictions. How sadly this need is felt in the political world today! Men of ability are constantly coming into public notice, and then in the testing time, which surely comes, tl1e temptation proves to be too strong to be resisted, and the idol is shattered, and the man is proved too small for his job. Personal ambition or party lines have been too dominant. Nor is this condition greatly different in the religious world,-so many are chosen, but so few realize the high purposes destined for them. In industry and business the difficulty is not tl1e lack of positions of trust and leadership, but the dearth of men who can fill them honor- ably and -well. In all these realms are needed men who have faith in their cause, faith in God, and faith in their fellow men. Thirty-one students do not always realize that there is much besides l1o11or to a THE MIRROR Men who are absolutely dependable in word and action-men whom worldly things cannot buy. Men who are able to see others' view point, and who are fair and t1'ue and clean. Men who have vision and foresight- who are not blinded by exist- ing conditions and a sense of their own importance. Men who have tact and sympathy and charity. So high the re- quirements, is it any wonder that we, who are just beginning to realize the signifcance of leadership, shrink from it as a task too high and searching to be taken lightly? In high school, the need for leaders first becomes apparent, and school affairs, instigated and directed, hitherto, by the teachers, grad- ually come more and more under the management of the students. Leaders are necessary. We must look among our own numbers for those who will bear the burdens of responsibilities. We must have class officers and club presidents. Someone must edit the school magazine. Wliom do we elect? In addition to the characteristics of a leader in general affairs, a few special ones are ncelel for a high school leader. He must have that quality sometimes called likability, that is, he must be friendly to everyone,- not merely to his own crowd. He has to be able to give quick decisions. He must be capable of originating and managing successfully a varied list of school activi- ties. He must be alert for new ideas. He should be able to deliver short speeches to groups of students in a convincing manner. Self- confidence, without self-conceit, is an absolute necessity. Indeed, the qualifications needed are numerous and varied. lieadership, like every faculty, is developed by use. Perhaps many have the powers of leadership, but opportunities have not been offered them to improve their latent powers. Honors involve duties. Perhaps the rank and file of high school presidency. Let them dispel that notion right now. An oiicer of a class or club must be continually at it. He can't be afraid of work and succeed. It is a continual rush for some school leaders. But they are rewarded if they accomplish something for the school-something that will tend to elevate others, to raise the physical, mental, and moral standard of their Alma Mater. Positions in high school calling for exercise of a sense of responsi- bility and judgment furnish the best possible training for leadership in after years. Let us use the opportunities of today, trusting that if we make the most of our talents now, there will be ia place for us to fill in the world of tomorrow.

She was also one of those lucky people wl1o always got just what she wanted, that is, until last summer, but that is getting ahead of the story. It was the latter part of June that Phil came to visit Joe and me. Joe is the noblest, nicest, dearest man in the world, and incidentally he has been my husband for a whole year. The first day or so of her visit, we spent in talking over old times. Almost the next day, however, Phil began to look around for new worlds to conquer, as Joe so cleverly puts it. Soon all the boys in town were buzzing about our little house like bees about a honey- comb. Phil, however, was not especially interested in any of them las I secretly hoped, for I wanted her to marry and settle down near usl, until one day we met the new minister. He didnlt look like a minister in his white sweater, with his tennis racket in his hand, and his pipe in his mouth, not at all. As we passed he spoke to me, although he looked at Phil all the time. I returned his greeting and introduced Phil, and then we went on. Once I caught her looking back. Molly, she accused, You never told me that the town boasted that! Who 's the sheik? Frankly I was astonished. I had never dreamed that the Reverend Robert Ashby would appeal to my incorrigible Phil, 'tThat's not a sheik! I protested. That's our minister. . Minister! Great granddaddyln Then she laughed, and nothing more was said about him. The next day was Sunday. When I came downstairs, ready for church, I found a demure little Felicity, clad in Quaker gray and with a prayer book clasped in her gloved hands. This was unbelievable! I have not mentioned it before, but one of Phil's most de- plorable characteristies is her entire lack of religion. This was chiefly the fault of her over-indulgent, widowed father, who had been very careless about such matters. Well! There was no lack of piety then! She attended church regularly and even joined our Sunday School class temporarily! She seemed to get on very well with tl1c Reverend Bob, They often swam or walked together. ELIUITI' Abbott was my roommate at college, a lady by birth, E'-'L - ' N ' Thirty-four THE MIRROR Tl1en one day when I was baking a pie, a radiant Phil burst into thc kitchen and almost smothered me in an impctuous bear hug, Hour and all.

Let's invite him and give l1i1n a present l This scheme of Phil's was effected as most of hers are, and it was arranged that tl1e class would give him a fine watch, and Phil was to present it to l1i1n. So, Saturday, We had the meeting, and 'tPhil, dressed in a lovely blue frock, made her presentation speech and offered the really fine Watch. ' The Reverend Ashby was obviously delighted with our gift and i1nme.liately arose to thank us. Phil waited expectantly, delighted with the Way her idea had pleased l1i1n. Thank you very much, he said. Your gift is very lovely. I had planned to surprise you, but I guess I shall tell you now. I am going to be married this year to Miss Jane Crowley of Chicago and I can only say that I'll be mighty proud to Wear this line Watch on my Wedding day. Thank you. Just then I looked at Phil.,' Never have I seen such a comical look of surprise and blank astonishment on anyonels face before! Fortunately every one was looking at the Reverend Ashby, and when he had finished Felicity had regained her usual composure and was answering in a coolly conventional voice. You'1e very welcome, 'Bob', she said. And how splendid! Why f?idn't you tell us before? Do let me be first to offer congratula- tions. The rest of the afternoon Phil was very gay. That night she danced at the club with Jinnnie Hargrew. The next morning I came down, dressed for church, to find Phil attired in a linen sport dress and a squashy, little, felt hat. Why, Felicity Abbott! My surprise was evident. Aren't you coming to church with 'Joe' and me? Something in my voice caused her to look up quickly, her eyes dancing With laughter. No, II1?L,311l,H she shook her head emphatically. It's golf with Eddie Burnside that I'm playing this morning. And as Joe and I started off, a merry peal of laughter followed us down tl1e street. I had a letter from Phil the other day. She is seriously con- sidering stage dancing because, so she asserts, she is really and truly in love with a Well-known actor now. Thirty-tive THE NIIRROR Fools By Helen Ives. The fools will never be dead, I will tell you tl1e reason why, The young ones they grow up, Before tl1c old ones dief' -Copied. ARIUS was a fool. He admitted it to himself with a rueful mg little laugh, as he gracefully sipped l1is last swallow of brandy off in the Cafe-Royal of Paris. Moreover, in addition to being a fool he was a drinker, and in addition to being a fool and a drinker he was a criminal, not merely a dauber in petty thievery, but a hardened, fearless desperado, who could steal or kill with equal facility. The first vice was directly dependent upon the last. He was a fool to be a criminal. He should have been a politician, he refiected. It in- volved immeasurably greater profits and fewer risks, by far. More- over, in addition to this consideration it was incredibly sad that the Honorable Brotherhood of Gentlemen Robbers should be obliged to conduct their despicable thievery without the aid of their adept fellow- tradesmen. ' However treacherous Darius might be to l1is friends, however un- fair with his associates, with himself he was honest. Now, as his eye roved about the crowded room, he admitted as frankly to himself that he was clever, as he had a short time before conceded he was a fool. Both admissions were correct. Out of the cold, uncompromising world, he had wrenched a living, an education, and a staunch bank account. Witli nothing to lose, and everything to gain, he had gambled with fate -and won. He had traveled in every large country of Europe and had even invaded the precincts of America, with the View of settling in New York. He had changed his mind. The police in America are too vigilant to please the newcomer of uncertain trade. By some miracle he had succeeded in keeping his name and picture from the Rogues' Gallery. He was lucky. The Rogues' Gallery is a marked detriment to the financial and social success of such a person. It has ended the business career of thousands- of notorious criminals. If he had been less lucky-or less clever, the Record would probably have branded him thus: The city of Paris warns all to beware of this confirmed and notorious criminal, namely, Darius Dinwiddie Delatone, twenty-eight years of age, sixty-eight inches tall, slender, dark-complexioned. His only mark of identification is a small mole on the lobe of his left ear. The said ex-convict has been proved guilty of the following crimes and misdemeanors, namely: Assault, petit larceny, grand larceny, arson, Thirty-six , THE MIRROR embezzlement, forgery, counterfeiting, smuggling, breach of promise, gambling, drunkenness, reckless driving, obtaining money under false pretenses, and usury. Needless to say, he was not guilty of all these so-called crimes, but a Paris Jury, having caught him in the act of peifoiming one dishonesty, would have convicted him of all tl1e crimes committed by anyone within their memory, and these not being suf- ficient, would perhaps have scanned old records for more. Neverthe- less, Paris is good to criminals. True, a disobeyer of the law, having once been caught, seldom has a chance to return to his old practices, but the clever criminal is usually able to conceal himself from the police, and to live to a ripe old age. Thus the inexperienced and bungling thief pays tl1e penalty which his more clever brothers avoid. Darius was clever. He trusted no man, and accomplished all his achievements single-handed. Paris, with her beautiful women and handsome men, her bright lights and gay voices, her night life, her wealthy people, provides a wonderful field of work for tl1e clever crimi- nal-and such, as I have before remarked-was Darius Dinwiddie Delatone. He had chosen the name for himself years before, and so far had had no occasion to change it. To l1im it denoted all the higher things of life-wealth-position-respect5 things that l1e had missed. Darius was a typical specimen of Paris's underworld. Crime was his business, and to its development he devoted his time and brains. He did not steal for the sake of stealing-for the purpose of trans- ferring wealth from the rich to the poor or for tl1e sake of excitement. Money was his god, and for its sake he stole. People who have always done without money realize its value. And Darius still retained mem- ories of a poor, bare-footed, half-starved little lad, just released from a reformatory school, making a vain attempt to keep body and soul together. He had failed. True, he had managed to keep alive, but sometime when he had first begun his dangerous career from necessity, not choice, he must have lost the last named article-where, he could not have said. If he had known, it is doubtful whether he would have made any very serious attempt to find it. Crime is much more profitable than honesty, if one measures profit merely by shekels. Tight-iisted and hard-hearted people had taught Darius that collecting money is the paramount object of life. They had also taught him that, though the straight and narrow path may be the one for us to follow, the pot of gold at the end is not necessarily a pot of money. Darius was not a white-livered, pasty-faced criminal of the species which is converted in the third act of a moving picture and lives a straight life thereafter. He was the sort of person who allowed him- self to reform as often as he thought he could make a profit by so doing. He was hard-hearted, cold-blooded, but nevertheless human. Thirty-seven THE MIRROR Dame Fortune had been good to him. She had fashioned him either for a saint or a sinner. If for the latter, she must have desired l1is transgressions to go unpunished, for she had favored him with a dark, smooth complexion, wide blue eyes, and innocent, babylike expression. Not a wicked gleam of the eye or a baleful indication of a sneer dis- turbed the childlike serenity of his face. No sparkling diamond on his finger proclaimed wealth or extravagance. His clothes were perfect- fitting, immaculate. Yes, Dame Fortune had been kind to him. And, as if proud of her handiwork, she had stamped him with her trademark. A small, almost imperceptible mole decorated the lobe of his left ear. It was the bane of his existence. Some vague, ill-defined sensation warned him that it would some day cause his downfall. It rather troubled him, for he felt that this ineradicable mark of identification would some day bring him to justice. Not far from Paris, hardly without the city limits, is situated one of the most- beautiful chateaux in the whole country. Constructed wholly of marble, low, rambling, surrounded by shrubs and flowers on all sides but one, and on that by imposing pine and hemlock trees, it is a picture of magnificent extravagance. Always it had held an appeal for Darius, and for its inmates he cherished the deadly hate which all criminals have for the wealthy who possess something which they covet. Only a few days before the mistress had died, and now only her husband remained. He was an ordinary sort of person, with a red nose and too large an abdomen, big feet and perspiring hands. Darius disliked him instinctively. People whom Darius disliked were unlucky. The owner of the big feet and perspiring hands was found dead, lying on his bed on the evening of March twenty-first. On the same night, Darius Dinwiddie Delatone was found in the cellar of the magnificent house, making a vain attempt to hide himself in a coal bin. Unluckily, Darius was not a negro, and his profession dealt regularly more in white diamonds than in black. May second, 1904, Darius Dinwiddie Delatone was convicted of second degree murder. The penalty is twenty years of hard labor. Even a Paris Jury will not convict a man of first degree murder on purely circumstantial evidence. In Darius 's case his guilt was obvious. When caught in the act of secreting himself in the coal bin, Darius was unarmed. However, a small bag, containing all necessary burglarizing implements, a long-bladed knife, and a pistol was found reposing under the coal. There was one link missing in the long chain of evidence. Bragg's body, when discovered, was cold. It was believed that the murder was committed only a few minutes before the body was found. A criminal, having murdered a man, will flee. It is the law of nature. There was another mystery connected with the case. The police Thirty-eight THE MIRROR had been informed over the telephone that they were needed at the Bragg house. The information had been given in a cool, unruffled tone, and Darius's unknown enemy had rung up. At the time when the police were departing from the police station, Darius was lifting his leg over the window sill of the Bragg house. Up in Bragg's room, sorting out tl1e papers that he wanted, Darius heard a stir. Turning to the bed he gazed again at tl1e man lying there. Mouth open, hair in disorder, shirt stained with cologne-he lay there, fat, repulsive. With one stride Darius passed over to the bed. Knife in hand, he gazed down on the repellent face of tl1e man who lay there in a drunken stupor. Suddenly he raised his knife and plunged it into the heart of tl1e man whom he hated. He wiped it unconeernedly on his victim's shirt, and returned to his work. A noise from below startled him. He heard tl1e chug of an engine, the front door open and close, and foot- steps on the stairs. Darius's quick ear detected the fact that it was a polieeman's tread on the stairs. Casting about for a safe hiding place, he found one-the dumb-waiter. It was a large, roomy contraption, which l1ad been commonly used for carrying articles of food and drink up to the room. New it carried a burden down to the cellar. As Darius reached the cellar, the policemen were entering Bragg's bedroom. The quiet and the apparent order of the house convinced them that they were on a wild goose chase. At the door of Bragg's bedroom they halted. A street lamp dimly revealed the form of Bragg, lying full-dressed on his bed. Bending over him, they discovered that he was dead, and had been for some time. To the inexperienced eye the fact would hardly have been noticeable, but the police of France are used to death in all its forms. A red spot decorated his white shirt front directly over the heart. The jewels and papers flung around on the dresser proclaimed the motive for this murder to be robbery. Evidently the thief had de- parted in haste. Evidently, also, he was still in the house, for they knew no way of escape from the room other than the door through wl1iel1 they had entered, and a window twenty feet above the ground. It was in the coal cellar that they found him. Darius pleaded not guiltyft His unknown enemy who had in- formed the police of tl1e robbery and murder did not appear to con- vict him, and he had hopes of being acquitted. But his hope died when he was put behind iron bars and handed a pick-axe. Manual labor was not in his line. Twenty years of breaking stone-twenty years of life wasted! That is the penalty for crime, Mr. Dinwiddie Delatone! But fate plays queer tricks! Josiah Braggs, dying, left no will. But among his possessions a note was found-a confession. It admitted that the wealth and posi- tion which he had always enjoyed were not his and that he was a crimi- Thirty-nine THE MIRROR nal. His brother, dying, had left one child, a boy, who had mysteriously disappeared the day before his father's death. The little boy had never been found, and after a period of five years the property had gone to Bragg, on condition that it be restored to the rightful owner if he were ever found. Josiah took care that the boy never did reappear. Know- ing that the lad's father was about to die, he had sent the child to a reformatory school in charge of a friend, who had kept the lad 's true identity from him and told him that his father had been a pickpocket. Having no remembrance of his former life, the little fellow readily believed all that they told him, and thought himself to be tl1e lowest of the city's scum. At the age of twelve he had been released from the school of cor- rection, and shortly after that Josiah had lost track of him. The confession stated that the boy who had been so illegally cheated out of his heritage would be about twenty-eight or twenty-nine years of age, dark-complexioned, blue-eyed, and in all probability, slender. He possessed one unmistakable mark of identification-a small mole on the lobe of his left ear. It produced a sensation. Darius Dinwiddie Dclatone was declared the rightful owner of the house which l1e had tried to rob, and of mil- lions of dollars' worth of real estate. There was no doubt about his ownership. His appearance, the fact that he had left the reformatory school at the age of twelve, both pointed to the conclusion that he was the rightful owner of the house which he had tried to burglarize. It was decided by the court that he could not steal that which be- longed to him, even if he were ignorant of its ownership. A second trial proved Darius innocent of attempted robbery. The humor of it all appealed to Darius. The fact that in an attempt to steal his own property he had killed his uncle and destroyed all hope of enjoying his heritage, seemed to him ridiculously funny. He cursed himself for every kind of a fool, stormed at his fate, and, in the mean- while, broke stone for twelve hours each day by way of diversion. His hands grew rough and blisteredg his back ached, and his eyes lost their bright, intelligent look. Manual labor was making him old before his time. Criminals who have spent a term in a Paris prison are care- ful to use more discretion in their philanderings next time. But Dame Fortune had not sprung her last surprise. That fair lady does not neglect her favorites. And the last surprise was the best of all! September eighteenth, the Paris Times made an astounding revelation. Darius Delatone, whose conviction had made such a sensa- tion a short time before, was innocent! This was news to Darius. They had handed him a fortune and were about to hand him his freedom. And he was guilty! The only solution to the problem Darius could figure out was that some poor fool was Forty THE MIRROR trying to shield him. Of whom the poor fool could be he had no idea. He found out later. The real murderer had confessed. On the night of Bragg's murder, he had been celebrating his wife's death by a stag party. Evidently the marital relations between husband and wife had not been very congenial. At the party a great deal of liquor had been imbibed. A quarrel between Stevens, one of the guests, and Bragg, ended dis- astrously. A few hasty words, a fight, and Bragg's heavy body sank to tl1e fioor, inert, lifeless. He was carried up to his roo1n and left lying on the bed. It was there, about an hour later, that Darius found him. Believing him to be merely in a drunken stupor, Darius had repeated the killing operation by plunging a knife into his heart. With every intent to kill, he had stabbed a man already dead, with every intention to rob, he had tried to take property belonging to himself. The prob- lem confronting the judge was a difficult one to solve. Yet there is not an article or law in the French Constitution which says that one cannot take property from himself, or stab a knife into a dead man. Darius was released. On the morning of October tenth, Darius Dinwiddie Delatone, or Darius Bragg, as he had been proved to be, left the damp prison walls behind and stepped forth briskly into the world. He was immaculately dressed, breeding and pride were denoted in every line of his face. His thin hands twitched nervously. He stepped into tl1e waiting limou- sine and gave the order, Hemel Then, ripping open a long white envelope which he held in his hand, he read rapidly- Darius Dinwiddie Delatone, I know you. Leave tonight or I will expose you. If you do not wish to return to prison, heed this warning. That was allg yet it put an end to all his hopes for the future. He knew that tl1e threat was not an idle one, and that his unknown enemy must possess information concerning his former criminal career. Six months before, he would have ignored this warning, but prison life had taught him caution-and fear. New he dared not ignore the warning, rather than go back to prison he would give up all l1is wealth. No, not all! A thought struck him. Brusquely he commanded the chauffeur to stop at the bank. The long, low, gray car drew up to the curb, and Darius sprang to the ground, entered the bank, and presented a check for fifty thousand dollars. The cashier stared at him and at the signa- ture i11 the lower right hand corner, Darius G. Bragg. Then he slid the check back under the window. Can't do it, he remarked. All the money on that account was drawn out this morning. Darius stared at him unbelievably. It doesn't pay, Sonny, remarked tl1e old man, favoring him with a searching look from over his glasses. Forty-one THE MIRROR Daiius left the bank, dumbfounded. Who was this forger who had beaten l1im out of his money I? His question was answered. A long, low, gray car backed away from the curb. It belonged to Darius. Running after it, he shouted angrily at the chauffeur. The car came to a stop. In the passenger's seat sat a tall, dark-complexioned man. He rose and opened the door, regarding Darius with faint amusement. His blue eyes twinkled. A mole decorated the lobe of his left ear. Darius had met his double and his equal. A volley of words trembled on his lips, as he gazed at the man who was trying to rob 11in1 of his wealth. The plot became clear. This man, in an attempt to gain Darius's riches, had painted a mole on his ear! His loosened tongue let out such a volley of oaths as even the owner of a refractory Tin Liz would have been shocked at. Cheat! Imposter! Liar! Thief! cried our irate hero. The owner of the mole so similar to his own remained imperturbable. Darius grasped him by the coat collar and pointed to the mole on the stranger's ear. 'tYou painted that 011 l he cried. And if I did-ill' countered the stranger. VVill you please in!- foim me what business it is of yours I? I shall report you to the police, cried Darius, hotly. Now, I wouldn't do that, answered the stranger sweetly. I believe I have met you before, Mr. Delatone. It seems that we are mutually acquainted. I believe that I met you at a ball a. few years ago. It seems that you had on more jewelry then than becomes a gentleman. Am I right? Darius gave a sickly smile. Evidently he was losing his nerve. The stranger dropped all pretense. Darius, he said, I advise you to heed the warning which you received this morning, unless you want to go back to jail for the rest of your life. I can send you there, but I am willing to give you one chance. If you go, you are safe, I shall enjoy your heritage. If you stay, you will pick stone for the rest of your life? Are you going? Darius acquiesced. What a fool he was! Life had taught him another lesson. It had taught him that evil will be repaid twice over for our sins. Bitterly he thought of the man who had usurped his wealth. If he had only clung to the honest path, he would not have been afraid to claim his own. Months later Darius was shoveling coal on a boat bound for India. The heat from the huge furnaces burned his skin and made the sweat roll down his face. One day he chaneed to glance in a piece of mirror which he had found. Instinctively his eyes wandered to the lobe of his left ear. The mole was gone! Only a brown streak remained. The truth flashed to his mind at once. He, then, was the imposter, and the Forty-two THE MIRROR man whom he had cursed so often was the real heir to the Bragg estate. The man whom he had hated had in reality saved him from the results of his crime. He was still a nobody. And in Paris! The real heir stood before the great mirror, criti- cally examining a small brown spot on his left ear. He laughed as he thought of Darius. Tl1e two boys had been pals at school. Ted, a little older than Darius, had always possessed a slnall mole on the lobe of his left ear. He and Darius might have been taken for brothers, so similar were they in every wa.y! That small brown spot was the only distinguishing feature. Ted determined to merge their personali- ties. Always mischievous, he found a way to cause the authorities some trouble. A daub of brown paint on Darius's car, a daub of white on his ow11, made both unrecognizable. In a reformatory, the inmates are numbered. By this number they are called instead of by their names. Ted went out of the school as number 101, Darius as 102. Darius was the son of a common pick- pocket. Ted was, as you know, the son of James Bragg, and nephew of Josiah Bragg. In his case, as in that of Darius, blood finally won. Darius followed his father's profession, but on a more scientific scale. Ted stuck to the straight and narrow path. Meeting new associates and engaged constantly in some project of his unlawful work, Darius soon forgot his old playmate. Ted, how- ever, managed to keep tabs on l1is old friend. When he heard of the confession of Josiah Bragg, he knew that he must be the heir to the vast Bragg fortune. He knew, too, tl1at it was within his power to do his former friend a great favor. He saw that with Darius in the spot-light, and his crimes the most sensa- tional talk of the hour, it would be natural for them to declare him the lawful heir. Ted was gambling with chance. Perhaps the paint on Darius's ear had long since washed off. In all probability it still re- mained, for the white paint still covered the mole on his ear. So Ted allowed people to hail Darius as a king of riches. As he expected, Darius did not recognize him when they came face to face before the bank on that memorable day. Ted laughed again. No one ever knew the little scheme which had gained Darius his freedom. Wlieii he had left the city in accor- dance with Ted's order, that young man had quietly stepped into tl1e other's shoes. It had meant a considerable amount of notoriety, but it was worth it. Darius might have been a good fellow, sighed Ted, if he l1adn't been such a fool. Probably he's swearing at me now for stealing his inheritance. But Ted was wrong. Darius was at that moment swearing at himself. il Forty-three T H E M 1 R R o R Playing the Game By Hubert Krompart. ELLOVXIS, I have an idea. The only way to win that game is to I g get their signals and put 'Bob' Spaulding out of the game. This fi LT Was said by George Vlfhite, captain and quarterback of the Sophomore football team, to a group of his team-mates who were gathered around him one night in l1is room. The time for the Freshman-Sophomore football game was drawing near, and it Was generally thought that the Freshmen would win. Bob Spaulding was especially dangerous as he could kick forty yards from placement any day in the week. The only chance the Sophs had was to get Bob out of tl1e game, and the worst part of it was, they knew it. Accordingly the members of the Sophomore team began to work out a scheme by which they could get the Freshmen signals and put Bob Spaulding out of the game. One night four boys were gathered in lVhite's room. Among them was Bob, During the course of the conversation, one of the boys took out a pair of dice and rolled tl1e1n towards Bob, He iinmecliately suggested a crap game, which was expected by lVhite and his gang. This was one of Bob's failings. Dice had as much attraction for him as an electric magnet has for a pin. At first Bob was lucky and won, but soon his luck changed and he began to lose. If he had watched closely, he would have noticed that White substituted a pair of tops for the original dice. In a short time Bob had lost every cent he had. Nothing was left but the gold watch his father had given him the previous Uhristmas. He decided to sell the watch, thinking that his luck would turn, but this did not happen. Soon he was in the same position again-flat broke. Then the fact that he had lost his watch became clearer to him. What Would his father say when he came to witness the Freshman- Sophomore game and found that he didn 't have his watch? Then he heard WVhite say: 'Bob,' I realize that this watch is very dear to you. I shall give you a chance to win it hack, by rolling the dice. If I lose, you get tl1e watch, and if I win, you must let me take anything you have in your pockets. Bob knew he had nothing of real value in his pockets and readily consented. He lost this time, also. Then White said, Give me that little red notebook wl1iel1 you have in your coat. Bob did so, and when Wliite returned his watch he realized that the Freshman signals were in it. Bob stood as if petri- fied, but finally picked up l1is cap and returned to his room. He could not forget the incident and after once going to bed he arose and went directly to the coach 's home. Here he explained everything. The coach, who was not a man to waste words, told Bob to go Fovty-four THE MIRROR home, and report for practice tl1e next day. Then he set to work making out new signals. VVhen Bob reported for practice the next day he was placed on the sub team. The new signals were tried out, but the favorite trick plays had to be left out. They practiced that night with a white-washed ball, for on the morrow the two teams clashed. On the morning before the game tl1e Freshman team practiced signals again. They could not perfect them, however, as they had the others. At two o'cloek that afternoon, the two teams were ready to play. Bob was sitting on the bench with the subs.', During the first quarter the Freshmen carried the ball down the field again and again, but owing to fumbles eaused by lack of knowledge of their new signals, they were unable to score. The second quarter was the same, and the score was 0-0. During the third quarter the Sophomores came dangerously near scoring, but they were held by the Freshman team. In the last quarter the Sophs reached their opponents' ten-yard line, and everyone was looking for a touchdown, but the Freshmen obtained the ball on a fumble and punted out of danger. They took the ball back to the thirty-tive yard line when there was but one minute to play. The only chance they had of scoring was to kick from placement. The coach thought of this and ordered Bob into the game, saying, 4 Bob,' it's up to you. The wind is with you. The two teams lined up, tl1e ball was passed back, and Bob kicked. The ball sped on and on toward the goal posts. It seemed hours to H Bob, but soon he heard the wild cheering of the students and l1e knew the kick had been good, and the Freshmen had won the game. He was carried off the field on the shoulders of his team-mates. Re- morse haunted him no more. He had redeemed himself. 155 s fllgh ax llxl Q Forty-five THE MIRROR Faith, Hope, Love By Helen MacDonald N A BRIGHT June morning as Doris and Aunt Laura were h V sauntering idly down the village street and out toward the open 1.f '5'ffgl country, Dora suddenly asked her aunt 'what the meaning of Faith, Hope, and Love is. Doris was just sixteen while Aunt Laura had already passed the half century mark. This was lJoris's weekly holiday from school, and Aunt Laura, with whom she had lived since tl1e death of her own dear mother, had promised to take her to spend tl1e day among the wild flow- ers and birds of Brant 's woods. Doris, a little plump blue eyed blonde, had a wonderful mass of golden hair which covered a head always looking for knowledge. The bright eyes seemed always to contain a question in their blue depths. Aunt Laura had watched the development of that mind and had tried to lead it in the way of higher, ever higher, and more beautiful thoughts, for as she often told Doris, We may be obliged to live in surroundings not at all pleasant to us, but we do not need to dwell there. There is always room away on the mountain top where the sun always shines, and birds sing their merriest carols. Or we can people our mountain tops with the loveliest persons and spend happy hours con- versing with them. And there, too, we find God who is the best friend of the young girl, always ready to listen to her trials and little happi- ness, and wanting her always to be happy. The day was one of those wonderful June days when all life is bound- ing with pep and vigor. Everything+grass, leaves and blossoms- seemed to be working their hardest to grow toward the sunshine. HI-Iere, Doris, Aunt Laura said, You can find the answer to the first part of your question. It is evident in the grass and flowers, which are going on growing and reaching out toward the sunshine with per- fect faith that all their needs will be supplied. The great trees which tower so high above us are another example of faith. If they for one year did not go on drawing up nourishment from the ground and taking in life from the sunshine, they would die, for it is a law of nature that nothing stands still. At this moment they were entering the green shady isles of the woods with its trees of oak and maple, which were hundreds of years old. As Doris looked up into their leafy tops, she could not help but catch Aunt Laura 's meaning. As for Hope, it is even greater than Faith. Although we must first have faith, like the great trees which go on growing and doing their part from day to day, we may look beyond today into the future and Forty-six THE MIRROR see the fruit which we l1ope will follow the flowers. Who can say that the great oak trees are not looking away into the future and hoping to see themselves covered with acorns, and that the maples are not hoping to see their green branches spreading out with an ever more luxuriant foliage, ever eonfidentthat Mother Nature will care for them. i They had reached a warm, sunny knoll, and Doris dropped down and began to pick the little blue violets which were late because the warmth of the sunshine had not reached them here among the big trees. Doris handed a little bunch of violets to Aunt Laura, and then they both sat down to rest and eat their lunch. As they were eating, an unfamil- iar sound came from one of the big trees, which attracted Doris' atten- tion. Aunt Laura was wondering whether or not Doris would notice the little flying squirrels. They were leaping from tree to tree. The little red squirrels and ehipmunks were skipping up and down the trees and seemed to be playing hide and seek in the sun and shadlow. Sometimes they would pop into a hole where a limb had broken off and slyly peep out. Aunt Laura and Doris in a leisurely manner finished their lunch, and Doris picked little blue violets to take home to add to her collection of pressed flowers. Now we shall go in search of an answer to the last and most im- portant part of your question, said Aunt Laura. VVe shall go down into this little glen that always seems so shut away from all the great noisy world. As they walked 011, they descended into a miniature val- ley and, as they came nearer, they could smell sweet odors of flowering trees and shrubs, as here the large trees had been out off and a great many shrubs, small trees, and wild flowers grew in the rich muck soil that had lain where 11ature had placed it many centuries before. O, Aunty! exclaimed Doris. HI-low did you know about this lovely place? Just listen to the birds and to the little brook that runs along the bottom of the glen. See, the birds are making nests, too! said Laura. I have been here many times, Doris, and have learned to love the little feath- ered folk and I want you to love them, too, and learn many lessons from them. Here is a pretty pair of little warblers. We shall watch them, but we must not talk. See, they are very busy gathering material for the homes. So they stood very still, watching each do his or her part toward the home. We can see Faith in the growing trees and perhaps Hope, but can we find Love? Not so clearly an example of it as we see here among the birds. See, here is a mother feeding her little birds. How she must love them that she flies away and searches for food to fill their hungry mouths! The father bird, too, is helping to care for the little ones and bye-and-bye he will teach them to fly. How tired they must get of their Forty-seven THE MIRROR thankless task, but love for the little ones prompts them to go on until they see their Work complete. Aunt Laura and Doris wended their way back to the village in the cool of the evening, a11d so ended a perfect day. The Lucky Bill By Avis Grojf. Y FIVE dollars! I put it in this drawer last night, and it's gone, exclaimed Mary Veille. S'ff'3' Perhaps you spent it, calmly replied her room-mate, Mae Bayne. No, I didn 'tl Wl1o's that? as a knoek sounded at the door. Quickly crossing the room to the door Mary thrust it open. Yes, I'm ready, and she was gone. Such a girl! I'm sure I never saw l1er like, said Mae as she busied herself with tidying up the room before passing to morning classes. Mae was a tall, slender girl with brown eyes and black hair, which she wore in curls. She was, however, very shy and if it l1ad not been for her exceeding beauty she would probably have been overlooked many times. Moreover, llel' sweet disposition drew all of the girls toward her. Mary Veille, her roommate, was a tall, beautiful girl with auburn hair and eyes that sparkled with mischief. She was an only daughter of a well-to-do family, sent to boarding school to cure her of some of her selishness. Each month a certain amount of money was sent to her, and it was the last five dollars of the month's allowance that had disappeared so mysteriously. After reeitations Mary again joined Mae. I think I have it, she burst out. Have what? asked Mae disinterestedly as she tried to translate her Latin. Why, who took my money of course, and you needn't act so snob- bish. You see, this morning I forgot my French book and I came back after it. Well, just as I came along the hall I saw Dorothy Comstock hurry into little Mary Jane 's room across the hall. Mary Jane wasn't there because she had been in chapel when I left. VVhat's that got to do with your money? Forty-eight THE MIRROR Why, Dorothy has probably taken my money. If she goes prowl- ing about other girls' rooms s11e probably has been here, too, and has taken my money, for you know sl1e is very poor and money is tempting. 1,111 going to find out if she did, anyway. Next morning the girls received an invitation through the mail inviting them to a party to be given by Dorothy at a friend 's home. Ah, another circumstance to add to 1ny decision of yesterday. Evi- dently she needed n1y money for refreshments. I hope she is enjoying the use of it. Sure, Itll go to her old party. Why, Mary, how can you say such rash things? remonstrated Mae. Perhaps Dorothy didn't take your money at all. Oh, yes, she did, I know she did, snapped Mary. That evening they went to the party. Dorothy greeted her guests with a smile, and so during the whole event everything wore a smile. At a rather late hour the two girls reached their room. Owing to the evening's excitement sleep was impossible, and they talked. 'fSay, Mary, I don't think your evidence will have a very good effect. And why not? Well, you see I was introduced to Mrs. Greene, and she told me all about thc party. Dorothy always wanted a party, but could never afford it. Being a personal friend of Dorothy's family Mrs. Greene. finally persuaded her to have the party at l1er home. That doesu't exactly excuse Dorothy yet, though. Well, let's go to bedf' and so tl1e two girls were soon lost in slumber. Next morning while going to chapel Dorothy called, Wait a minute, girls, and I'll walk with you. I have to deliver this package. She dashed down the hall, but soon joined them again. You see, Mother has made such large sacrifices for me so tl1at I may obtain an education, that in order to help out I have been making 'gym' suits for the Freshmen. That evening Mary seemed rather quiet and acted as if something important were bothering her. Mae, she said, Wouldn't you like to help Dot out some? Just think of what the poor girl is sacriicing. I'm going to write to father for some extra moneyf' She walked over to the desk to get some writing material, tl1en burst out: Oh, Mae, my five dollars! and to think I ever accused Dorothy of taking it! Here she broke down sobbing. These were the first tears Mae had ever seen Mary shed, and they deepened the friendly spot in her heart. Flinging her arms about Mary, she soothed l1er and, smiling through l1er tears, Mary promised not to be so harsh again and to make sure of a decision before pronouncing it. Dorothy became one of her most loved friends, and when they told her about the money she laughed and said that it was a lucky bill to have brought her a true friend. Forty-nine A THE MIRROR His Life Ambition By E. E. Polar E ETER was born in Canada. Wlieii we l1ear the word, Canada, u 1 we visualize wheat fields, or, perhaps, the wild, devastated filfffii North. But Peter was born in a different Canada. His father had built his log cabin on the bank of the rushing Saint Lawrence River, and as a young boy he remembered seeing tl1e deer and an occasional bear come down to the river to drink. Wliile his father was out in the forest, cutting down pines and maples, with Peter's elder brother, Peter helped his mother. It was to Bill Mac Clucky's new saw-mill that Peter's father floated down his logs. 2'Bill was a huge, raw-boned Irishman, who had come over just a few years before with his pretty bride, a fair young colleen. Bill and l1is wife ran the mill and during the winter he built canoes and boats for the settlers, while his Wife knitted and made his clothes of fur or buck- skin. Bill was making Peter a fine canoe and the lad would come down to see the couple and, occasionally, when a big snow would fall, he would be forced to stay a day or two, and, on rare occasions, three. Then he would return home to his mother, who had been left alone. The Indians of the surrounding territory were all true friends of Peter, and it was from them he learned the use of the flint, bow, and arrow, and from them he learned how to paddle and use the only means of transportation they knew, the canoe. Peter soon handled these strange crafts as well as the Indian youths of his own age, and often in a race with the young warriors he would far outstrip them. So Peter grew up to manhood. It is not every young man of twenty who can work, without food, for two or three days, at such tasks as cutting trees, floating logs, or break- ing up an ice Hoe. But Peter was a youth of marvelous capabilities. Yet he was uneasy. Far below was a large city where all the Indians and Frenchmen traded. This city was Montreal. Here Peter wished to go. This fact was not unusual and could easily be accomplished, but Peter wished to go there quickly and he wished also to go there in the fickle canoe. None would venture to go with him. Wlien he was a boy he had seen some of the Indians go downstream in their barques, bound for the big city. But he remembered the tale his father had told him of Laughing Water, the strongest and bravest of his tribe, who had set out with furs for the big city. Laughing iVater was an expert when canoes came into question, and none on the river could surpass him. Laugh- Fifty THE MIRROR ing Watc1 ' l1ad not passed the Lachine Rapids, and l1is friends had picked up his body, far past Montreal. Since then the Lachine had been avoided, and a portage had been made. And now, in the prime of his manhood, Peter, even as supple and strong as Laughing Water, was about to set out to do that which his predecessor had failed to do. Peter departed with the August sun gleaming down 011 his tousled cuils, and his mother at the cabin door waved good luck to him. Per- haps she would never see him again. His Indian chum accompanied Peter. It was the second day that the Lachine was sighted. S0 as to make the trip more easily, they landed, and his comrade and the few friends who had followed him carried the furs over the portage, while he, alone, was to shoot the rapids. Never in all t11eir lives, then or ever afterward, did his companions, Indians and whites, witness more commendable skill. Peter paddled forward and, as a spider, the rapids and whirlpools sucl-ted him in. The canoe twisted, but Peter still controlled it. Rocks and crags flashed by. Whirlpools of seething foam, he passed around. Dangerous rocks he skirted, and at length came the crucial moment. The last and most difficult trial was before him. He must make the canoe pass between two submerged rocks, not three feet apart. It was a case of do and dare. He dared. Then l1e did. His friends felt a cry of joy rise in their throats. Peter was their friend and he had manned the rapids. Peter would be famous. From there to the docks at Montreal is about a mile, and the whole event was spread broadcast, before he reached the1'e, for one of his friends had rushed ahead. A crowd surged on the docks. The crowd moved forward to greet him, and as they did so he slipped on the moss and fell under the canoes. He strug- gled angl fought for air and open water. His comrades were quick, but Peter had taken in too much water. He was buried in the woods behind his home, and a few months later his mother was laid beside him. Mig..

EQKTIES oi as I had better say some necktics add to the 1 Y ' A . 1 g good appearance of man. I say man, it is a more general . ' , , - F J term than men for now and then there are to be seen bold fe males who dare to advance over the line of masculine apparel and be- deck themselves with man's one decorative garment, the necktie. I think that, as a rule, women are selfish, and this proves my statement, that the woman, with all her decorative luxuries-beads, bracelets, brilliant plumage, to say nothing of that flower-like substance called powder-should encroach on man's single ornament and flaunt it be- fore him, is unendurable. Now I shall leave this rather heated topic and enter on the one that I set out to explain. Neckties are, in one way, reflectors of a man's habits. If the necktie he boasts is brilliant, flashy, or its hue does not harmonize with the stripe in his shirt or the color of his suit, he is rather carefree and gaudy. If the color of his necktie harmonizes with his clothes, that boy has good taste, or his mother has. If it is wrinkled, reversed half way down or frayed, he is careless, shiftless, and one who cares not about dress. But if you gaze steadily and questioningly and mirthfully at a boy 's necktie, seventy-five times out of a hundred, up goes his hand to tighten the knot or tuck in the other end of his tie. This will usually work with boys, just as it always will with girls. Have you ever tried it? Don't! You will laugh so hard that the teacher will put you out of class or lecture you on t'The Proper Be- havior of a Student during School Hours for half an hour after school. I often wonder which kind of tie looks the best, the bow tie, the cloth four-in-hand, or the knit four-in-hand. On the whole, I think I prefer the last mentioned. It never needs pressing, nor is it as con- spicuous as the cloth four-in-hand, and it is very neat. The cloth four-in-hand looks well for a week or so and then it seems faded and crumpled. If it is pressed, this gives it a dark look and stiffens it. The bow tie is really the neatest of ties, but it has its drawbacks. Most bow ties are held in place by an elastic band, and if a playful friend pulls the tie from its place as far as the elastic will allow and suddenly releases it, the tie at once draws back, showing its love for men thereby, and impounds an unpleasant sensation as it strikes the throat. Then, too, these soon lose their starchiness if the material is not very heavy, and develop 2111 amazing tendency to droop forlornly in the direction of the floor. But I conclude, and I think you will agree, that a necktie greatly Fifty-tw0 THE MIRROR adds to the appearance of a person. It tends to relieve the bleakness of that region of the shirt that tl1e coat leaves in view, helps to round the shaip lines of the collar, and to cover up tl1at obnoxious article, the collar button. ' A Report of the Proceedings of the Latin Class E N THE night of January 9, 1924, it Was dark a11d still in every room of Medina High Scl1ool, save in room 304, Where a per- sistent, eager rustling and nibbling could be heard. Silence! A scamper! And tl1e11 the nibbling began again. Good evening, my friend, suddenly spoke the school-room clock. Good evening, responded the little mouse, and how are you to- night? Your voice sounds tired. Tired! ejaeulated the clock. Well I should say I am. I've held my breath all day fearing what might happen next. Miss Hall was feeling in very good humor and said many amusing things. Of course, the jokes she told encouraged the pupils, and in his excitement 0118 boy fell out of his seat. Everyone laughed. The Seniors are selling candy, and so everyone had a bar of candy. Yes, a11d it's very good, squeaked the mouse. I've just been eating some. Well, resumed the clock, after the fun Was over they Went on with their translations. It was surprising what a good lesson everyone had. Two lessons in review were read, today's lesson, and part of the advance. Miss Hall was just beginning to praise the pupils when the state inspector came walking in. He talked a good deal, and the children were nearly convulsed by his Battery. Just then the bell rang, fortunately I I'm sorry to leave you, squeaked the mouse, but I must say 'good-night' and take some of this candy home to my family. Silence reigned again, broken only by the ticking of the clock. -Eleanor Hill. 77 0 0 E iff . 3 Fifty-three THE MIRROR The Penny Wise Mansion Albert K lein-smith. ERALD BURKE, a freckled-faced Irish boy of fifteen, a friend of mine, came rushing around the corner of Main street, Auburn, V3 a little town nestled in a small valley of tl1e Sierra Nevada mountains. Under his left arm he carried a bundle of the Auburn Times, as he yelled, Extra! Extra! All about the death of Minnie Reed, the last heiress to the Penny Wise fortune. Penny Wise was an old miser who had disappeared some years previously. A body resembling his was found, a week after his dis- appearance, floating in a deep pool of the creek behind his estate, called the Wise Creek. His sister was his nearest relative, so she became heiress of his estate. After she had lived three years in the old VVise Mansion, located in a deep canyon of the mountains, her body was found sliced in small pieces in an iron-bound trunk. Following her death, her niece inherited the place. She also lived on the old place for three years, when her body was found mutilated so that it was almost unrecognizable, as if a demon had beaten it. Detectives investigated the case thoroughly, but obtained no clues, since the demon had worn rubber gloves. Therefore, the old mansion was named the Haunted House. Weird tales were told about the screams and moanings heard at night by passersby. After eating my supper, I hurried over to Gerald's house and asked him if he would like to go hunting ghosts in that mysterious house of Penny's. Gerald gaped at me a moment, but soon grinned and said, It's a go, begorra! But I'll have to sell my morning papers first. 'Phil' will take care of the evening papers for me, so I'll be ready at about eleven o'clock Saturday morning. Of course I agreed on Saturday and packed everything needed for our trip, such as bacon, wieners, bread, flashlights, matches, firearms, a frying pan and an iron bar. We started at eleven o'clock that forenoon. We hiked about five miles before we were very hungry, when we stopped and ate some lunch, and we were again on our way by three o'clock. NVe sauntered leisurely along for the next few miles and stopped near tl1e old place, built a fire on the banks of the Wise Creekj' and roasted wieners, which we ravenously devoured for our supper. At eight o'clock we repacked all our provisions except the iron bar, our fiash-lights and revolvers. At about nine we started for the house. As we first looked at this old stone edifice, it seemed to be enshrouded in mystery. The moon's rays fell on the pathway, and the moving shadows gave me a creepy sensation. A death-like silence prevailed, there was a little breeze coming up from the east, and an occasional leaf Fifty-four THE MIRROR rattled now and then. As we came nearer my eyes fixed themselves on the windows, for I seemed to have no power over them. I imagined that I saw phantom-like figures moving to and fro in the dark depths. One faced me and motioned for us to go back. lVe were now walking on a narrow gravel walk that encircled the house. Soon we came to a cellar window, and after prying it open we climbed in. Heretofoi e, we had not needed our electric torches, but now we were about to Hash tl1e1n when we suddenly beheld two fiery eyes pierce the blackness. VVe sprang back amazed, and then stopped spellboundg we could not move our hands, mouths, or feet. The cold perspiration was breaking out upon my brow, that mysterious power seemed to run my blood cold. So we waited, terror-stricken, for a time that seemed an eternity. The two fiery sparks were coming closer, and as I looked at these balls of fire that were approaching us, I could imagine that this was the demon who had butchered Miss Wise and Miss Reedg still it was drawing nearer all the while. I trembled, the beads of perspiration l1ad turned into streams and were running down my face in little rivulets, for I expected to feel a cold steel blade sink into my breast. Then I could imagine myself in small pieces in a trunk. To our intense relief a Me-ow, me-ow broke the stillness. It was only the house cat who was getting very, very hungry. Gerald was the first to break the tension by saying, Begorra, but he 's got eyes like the divil himself. I was about to mention an excursion upstairs to explore Penny's rooms, when in that ghastly silence that surrounded us, a door banged, another creaked, tl1e floor overhead also creaked as if someone were stealthily walking ac-ross it. Gerald poked me in the ribs, and hoarsely whispered, L-lQet's t-turn ou-out tl1-tl1e l-light, so his Ghostship will not t-try to f-force his acquaintance upon us. Agreeing to this. I placed my flash-light in one pocket and grasped the revolver that was in the other. We felt our way up the stair-case and came into a cold gloomy atmosphere that made our teeth rattle. We had proceeded down the l1all until we reached a door, when every nerve and muscle in my body jumped, for somewhere a low moaning noise could be heard. Gerald must have awakened me from my fright for I heard him saying, Al, what's the matter with you? I've been poking you for about tive minutes trying to wake you up so that I could propose some singing. Isn't that what people do to recover their nerve? I gulped about three times and then replied, I-I g-guess s-so. We began to sing, and it's a wonder to me that we didn't Wake the dead. Our voices echoed throughout the vacant rooms. Vlfhile we were in this frightened state of mind, a blood curdling sou11d pierced the darkness. Wha-what 's that? I cried. Fifty-ilve THE MIRROR Only an owl, Gerald answered. Yo-you're crazy-th-thatls not an ow-owl. It 's another spook, I retorted. A quick pitter-patter ran across the floor in another room, a door banged, the wind outside moaned dismally and helped to make that horrible silence almost unbearable. By now we had entered several rooms and, finding nothing, had passed on to the next. After having explored all the rooms except Penny 's bedroom and his library, and as we were just about to enter his bedroom, a terrible shriek broke the stillness. It seemed to shake the whole house, until I thought the ceiling would collapse and come tumbling down upon our heads. This last shriek terrified us so that We stopped, waiting for it to continue. Gerald's voice was the first to speak by saying, Begorra, that one must be a whopper, he's the loudest of them all. I wondered how a person could be so cool and humorous under such uncanny circumstances, for tl1e windows began to rattle violently, the wind seemed to moan louder than ever before. As we entered the library, a great surprise awaited us, for as we flashed on our torches a room that was fit for a king burst upon our vision. Instead of the barren walls, floors, and ceilings, and cold at- mosphere of the other rooms, this one contained a fireplace in one end of it, a hardwood floor, and mahogany furniture. The floor was cov- ered with the most beautiful Persian rugs, the walls were decorated with pictures painted by a number of famous artists, choice tapestry hung here and there, bookcases containing the choicest literature en- circled the whole room. But the greatest mystery was, How did this room happen to have live coals in the fireplace and to be so beautifully furnished, while all the others were cold, barren, and desolate? As we were contemplating this question, Gerald happened to step on something that gave under his foot. Immediately a section of the bookcase flew open and a small room was shown to us. It seemed to warn us of its contents by the cold air that rushed into the room. But by turning our flash-lights into this dreary chamber a horrible sight confronted us, for from a hook in the ceiling the dark figure of a man was suspended in mid-air. His colored and bloated face was turned toward us, its eyes were bulged and staring, tl1e mouth was wide open, revealing two rows of yellow teeth in which two teeth resembling fangs were the most prominent, the tongue was also bloated and swollen. On the table we found an envelope enclosing his confession, telling of his murdering two innocent women. He continued by saying that he could no longer bear to see their accusing fingers pointed at him, and that he also could not escape the bloody vision of their mutilated bodies, which was constantly before his eyes. His reason for killing them was that he had to protect himself and Fifty-six THE MIRROR the enterprise, and keep it a secret. But there was one fact that he could carry to the grave with him and revel in the joy of it in the land beyond. It was the strategy with which he had kept the police en- tirely ignorant of the number and the source from which so many counterfeit ten and twenty dollar bills were coming. To our aston- ishment tl1e note was signed, Penny NVise.

Fifty-seven THE MIRROR A Change of Qpinion AS TOLD BY BUCK JOHNSTON By Grace Emerson m AL CONNER scratched l1is head, reflective like. That showed g he was thinkin'. I ain't been punchin' cows with l1im for ten years without knowinl none of l1is habits. 't What's eatin' yul1, 'Hal ? I says. Waal, he drawls, still scratchin' his head, Tom is comin' out from the East an' is bringin' a half a dozen Boy Scouts with himf' Right l1ere I let 's loose of a lot of expletives. Oh, he is? I says, kinda sarcastic. Well, when that there kid drags a bunch of hair-raisin', ear-splittin', young sea pirates out onto this here ranch, I quit, pronto! See? If you all are foolish enough to let 'em plug half your cattle and cowboys jest fer fun, I'm gonna va- moose. Now, listen, 'Buck'l I admit Tom is kinda noisy, but he ain't such a bad kid! Oh, no! 'Course not! I says, disgusted like. But I tell ya, I can 't stop them from comin '. They 've been started a week. And, old pard, you ain't gonna quit a buddy when help is so danged hard to get, are you? I thought you was such a reliable kind of a fellow, you could sorta .look after 'em. Well, he whined and soft-soaped around till I promised to chaperon that bunch of half-tamed hyenas. I've worked for t'Hal long enough to know he's on the squa.re. His son, Tom, is his besettin' sin, though. Walks right over his head. Hal had sent him off east in a little town to see tl1e East in a real quiet way. Then he drags a sissyfied associa- tion like that out l1ere! I told Hal to keep still about Tom's comin' to the boys, or they'd 'a' quit, everyone of 'em. They love the kid like poison. Tom wasn't no ordinary young 'un. He was a human cyclone. After a couple weeks, they got here in a kinda wabbly tlivver that had the heaves. I felt sorta weak, expectin' 'em to start askin' if they was any Indians or bandits or buffalos. For a wonder they didn't, though. When the punchers come in to supper you should a' seen their faces. They braced up a little bit when Tom said they 'd only stay a couple days. They was so darn particular, though, I got kinda peeved. Hal had to go somewhere that night. I had a quick idea. I tipped the fellers a wink and says, excited like: Say, fellers, there ts a bunch of rustlers headed this way. They're due to hit tl1is section about to-night. Us cowboys have gotta guard the west herd, and that leaves the south corral unguarded. Don't spill the Fifty-eight THE MIRROR beans to yer dad, Tom, but do you think you scouts could guard the corral? Bud Lafe was took with a queer kind of coughin' spell. He knew I was jest stallin' for one peaceful night. There hadn't been a rustler in the section for a eat's age. Yes, boys, says Lafe, sober as a judge. This is the time to show yer courage. They are a wild, villainous band, and none but men of exceedin' valor can stand a show agin 'em. This had a pretty good effect on 'em. Then a nervy little shaver they called Junior, says: Men, we will hold the corrall Come what may, our scouts shall never be called cowards I I was kinda surprised at this. Their talkin' sounded nervy enough. I had a hankerin' to see what they'd do in a tight corner. I sent Cactus Joe, a hardboiled poker shark, out to the corral with them. He got 'em down there and then come back pretty near laughin' his head loose. Held give 'em a lineup about the place being infested with rattlesnakes, wolves, cougars, and bandits. Then we fixed Joe up with a phoney mustache and a lot of other make-up, and he went down to scare the kids a little. We waited for him a while, but he didn't show up, so we guessed he musta busted into a poker game some- where. Then we turned in. I woke up about twelve o'clock to hear some guns poppin'! It come to me sudden that them kids was takin' pop-gun shots at somebody. I hollered to the boys, and pretty quick we were started off towards the corral. The boys was kickin' good and plenty. The nerve of them kids makin' us miss some perfectly good sleep through their darn foolishness. Just as we rode up, a bullet took my hat off. Then I saw that them kids was in the corral, and there was a couple of guffs outside shootin' at 'em. The kids was pumpin' away with them pop-gun affairs. I saw red about that time. A couple of full-grown men shootin' at a bunch of kids! Us punchers took a hand in it a11d pretty quick we had a couple of hoboes hog-tied. Them kids sure had nerve. Dane Duane's gangll' gasped Lafe. VVe knew darn well it was only a couple of hoboes, but we let 011 they was rustlers. Mebbe you think them kids wasn't proud. Oh, say! says a scout named Jimmie, We got another one in here. He's the desperatest one of all ! We took a look at him and if there wasn't Cactus Joe, bound up so tight he couldn't wiggle a eyelash, with his mouth stuffed up with a blanket, gurglin' impreca- tions most unfittin' for a gentleman. We 'd-a liked to kilt ourselves laughin', but he was madder'n a wet hen. Well, we got back to the ranch house and next day we turned the X Fifty-nine THE MIRROR hoboes over to the sheriff. But mebbe you think we didn't l1ave a bonanza of a time explainin' things. We felt like a handful of German marks. You bet them kids was treated respectful, though. We was actually sorry when they went. I got kinda damp around the eyes my- self. They sure was game little scouts. And if they ever need a friend, they can count on Buck Johnson for one. Say! I says when they pulled out, Say, 'Hal', where is them Lids from, anyhow? Oh, some little burg off in New York. Medina, I guess they called it. Our Definition of School Spirit A university is more than a curriculum and a campus. It is more than the most elaborate student annual can depict. Even in Carlyle's day, it was more than he called it, a true university was never a mere collection of books. It is the spirit that giveth life, and College spirit is certainly a name to conjure with. The first question is: What do we call college spirit? A student may throw l1is hat into the air, grab a megaphone, give three long rahs, go through the gymnastics of a cheer-leader,-and yet leave some doubt whether he has adequately defined college spirit. But some men mean by college spirit something finer. They mean the loyalty to an institution which makes a student guard its good name by being manly and courteous in conduct at all times and in all places. They mean the sense of responsibility which aids a student in forming habits of temperance and industry. They mean that eager- ness to make a grateful use of his opportunities which leads a student to keep his own body fit, through moderate athletics, and a physical training that knows no season-is never broken. By college spirit some men mean this and far more: They mean that loyalty to a college which rivets a man to the severest tasks of scholarship, through which he gains intellectual power and enthusiasm, without which no graduate is an entire credit to any collegeg and finally they mean that vision of an ideal life beyond Commencement which shows a man that only through the rigid subordination of transient and trivial pleasures can he hope to become the only great victory a university ever wins-a trained, devoted, and inspired alumnus, working for the welfare of mankind. -William T.

So in Medina., the oldest, largest, and richest town of Orleans county, there is some- thing similar. In the new imposing edifice of brick and concrete we have the numerous rooms and halls surrounding the auditorium as did the streets and buildings of old Rome surround the Colosseum. Take a seat in one of the comfortable chairs of our auditorium and look out o11 the big floor. Out there presently one will see some poor group of unfortunates come from under our very noses to be defeated and humbled by our masterful basketball gladiators as did the brave warriors of old come to compete with the masters of that ancient Roman home of sports. Our seating gallery does not entirely surround our pit, but on one side gives way to the modern moving picture machine. This together with electricity, another modern invention, makes it possible for a much larger variety of entertainments to be given than were possible in Roman times. The old Roman Forum was in the open air, but we have preferred to have ours under a roof that we can enjoy it in all kinds of weather, and also that, since we have invented a light that is safe, we can use our place of enjoyment at night. Because of our advanced civilization we do not have bull fights or any such things in our forum as did the Romans. Possibly it might offend these well-meaning ancient peoples to speak of them in this way, so if any of them have heard me, I shall excuse myself, but if not, I shall now leave them in peace.-Philip McElwee. The Beauties of Qur High School HEN one starts jotting down on paper all the excellent things we -au see in our high school, it is amazing to notice what great pro- portions our list obtains. It is difiicult to say what we like best about the new school, but one thing I know every student enjoys is our fine gym. Now we do not have to walk five or six blocks to go to gym, and added to this we have such superb equipment in the gym itself and also a locker room and showers. Another thing that we greatly appreciate is the fact that now we do not have to gulp down our breakfasts and trot off to school at a quarter after eight in order to secure hooks for our coats and hats. Even then we used to run the risk of having them yanked down by some unscrupulous person's rushing in just before the bell rang and put- ting his own coat and hat on the hook we took so much trouble to secure. Sixty-tW0 THE MIRROR But now all tl1ese vulgar fears and plottings are abolished, for each person has his very ow11 locker, to which no one else but Miss Bar- tholomew has the key. Now no one can swipe our sneaks or thought- lessly borrow our rubbers. Another great asset of our new school is the line clock system. Now we can tell just how much time to take up in pretending ignorance when tl1e innocent HJ teacher explains the next day's lesson, so we will not be called upon later. I Everyone is proud of the fine new auditorium, which will be in more and more in demand in tl1e future. Among the other big differences we appreciate, are our model school library, our fine modern chemistry and physics laboratories, and our brand new desks unadorned by the artistic knife of some studious boy tof course girls never do such thingsj. Besides these, there are scores of smaller new luxuries which we did not have in the old High School. Coming as We do from an old schoolhouse, in which we have so long been crowded and handicapped in other ways, into a line new structure, fitted up with every new luxury that makes a modern high school a palace, I think the student body fully appreciates all these new facilities and the expense to which Medina is going in their behalf. -Ben Blackburn. The Advantages of Our New Gym and Auditorium HE students of Medina High School have always wanted a gg g Hgymt' and auditorium within the school, and now their wishes have been, fulfilled. The students have been accustomed to using Cook's Auditorium, or what is now the Park Theatre, as a 'gym. They were compelled to go to gym through rain and snow. As it was three or four blocks from school to the gym, many of the students had a free shower bath when it rained. This made them very uncomfortable, and many of the students made complaints. But now, we have our bra11d 116W gym and auditorium along with one of the best high schools in the state. The auditorium will seat seven hundred and eighty-six persons, which is a larger number than either theatre in Medina will hold. The seats are very comfortable, and a good View of the gym can be obtained from nearly every seat. There are about twenty-four large lights in the auditorium, which make it as light as day. The walls are white, and the light is reflected so that it makes a soft, even light. The students have also the benefit of a large stage. This stage is supplied with seventy-five footlights, which show the characters on the stage quite plainly. Curtains are tl1e only thing yet devised for separat- Sixty-three THE MIRROR i11g the gym from the stage, but it is hoped that folding doors will soon be installed. The gym itself is one of the largest and finest. It is equipped with every conceivable apparatus used in gym work for developing the muscles. There are three basketball courts in the gym, the largest court being of regulation size. The steel frame work is high up and does not interfere with basketball, as to the ball's hitting the steel 1'afters. The gym is in nearly constant use, and is enjoyed by both girls and boys. , The girls' showers and dressing rooms are on one side of the gym, and the boys' are on the other side. These rooms are finely equipped with all things necessary to supply the students' needs. The gym especially, as well as the whole school, is much appreciated by the girls, boys, teachers and people of Medina.-Merrill Dutcher. Christmas Festivities in Room 206 HE girls of Room 206 had a Christmas entertainnient that was M- enjoyed by everyone in that room. The entertainment was given SUITS the Friday morning before Christmas between ten minutes after eight and nine o'clock. President Leona Verbridge selected different girls to work on com- mittees doing the decorating of the room and tree and various other things which were needed on such an occasion as this. Miss King ob- tained a pine tree, which was brilliantly decorated. Each girl's name was written on a sheet of paper and put into a box. The box was passed around the room, each girl drawing a dif- ferent name. At about twenty-five minutes after eight Santa Claus entered, blow- ing his horn, with his pack thrown over his shoulder. The girls all had a hearty laugh as they knew Santa Claus wasn't from the icy North, but happened to be one of the girls from their midst. Santa Claus gave each person a present, which was only a joke present like a horn, rattle, or something which caused much laughter. After the girls had finished enjoying the presents, one of the girls who had an automobile took them down town and put them on the com- munity tree for the poor children of the village. Everyone thought she would like a Christmas entertainment similar to this one every year. --- -Alice Coon. The junior High School Speaking Contest HE Junior Speaking Contest took place in the new High School auditorium, March 10. The participants were Lucia Condon, C' C- . i George Elsom, Ruthe Gould, Norman Garrett, Ruth Neff, George Horner, Adeline Wheatley, and Elroy Weet. All speakers did very Sixty-four THE MIRROR commendable work. Tl1ere were several humorous pieces and several dramatic ones. The orchestra played a few selections, which were enjoyed im- 'nensely. The first and second prizes for the girls were awarded to Adeline Wheatley and Ruthe Gould, respectively, while the first and second for the boys were awarded to Norman Garrett and Elroy Weet, respec- tively. The net proceeds amounted to about fifty dollars, an amount which goes to the piano fund.-Lorraine Snell. HF assemblies held in the Medina High School since Septem- ber 11 ive been few on account of the unfinished condition of the building. However, the Juniors and Seniors had an assembly shortly after the opening of school in September. Mr. Beck of the New York Stock Exchange, gave a very interesting talk on Let George Do It. There have also been several assemblies, for the purpose of selling tickets for the football and basketball games.-Mary White. Georgette's Players Assemblies , E N JANUARY 22, the first entertainment, with the exception of u basketball games, was held in the new auditorium of M. H. S. liiigiiil It was given by Georgette's Players of Musical Novelties and Swiss Bell Ringersf' The purpose of this entertainment was to make money enough to buy a new piano. The players were: F. L. Georgette, Josephine A. Georgette, and Signer Miralgia. They played a large number of instruments. When- ever one was used that was not commonly known, F. L. Georgette explained its construction and use. He said he wished the performance to be instructive. Josephine A. Georgette played the violin, piano, accordion, ocarina, Hungarian dulcimer, saxaphone, and Xylophone. During her selection, The American Patrol, on the Xylophone, a firecracker suddenly burst, and a small American flag unrolled before the instrument. Everyone seemed rather startled but pleased. F. L. Georgette played the cello, musical tubes, musical flowers, banjo, and other instruments. His selections were thoroughly enjoyed. Signer Miralgia accompanied nearly all the soloists with his harp. He played also with the other two artists a few selections on the Swiss hand bells. The program was very pleasing. Each one played alone, then two would play, and there were a few trios.-Adeline Wheatley. sixty-ave 5' T H R M 1 R R o R F acts About the lVl. H. S. Building HERIG are 111any facts about the Medina High School that the g average student or citizen of Medina does not know. It might g,Qf5'5 be interesting then to learn of some of the things connected with M. H. S. The outside dimensions of the building are 208 feet by 108 feet. The ground surrounding the school will be seeded this spring, and during the summer, shrubbery will be planted to beautify tl1e outside appearance. Witliiii the building all the walls are white, they will, however, be etinted in tl1e summer. There are about forty class rooms. Among these are tl1c history, science, language, music, art, cooking, and sewing rooms. The cooking room has three tables, which are fitted with sinks and also drawers where tl1e utensils are kept. In the sewing room there are nine sewing machines, also three sewing tables. Between the cooking and sewing rooms is a small room that may be used for either a dining or a fitting room. The chemistry laboratory is equipped with four tables, at which sixteen pupils may work-four pupils at each table. Another table will be installed in the near future. The physics laboratory has five tables, and four pupils may work at each table. There are four study halls. Un the first floor there is the Junior High study hall. Un the second floor is the boys' study hall for all boys having fewer than thirty counts, and another study hall for all girls l1avi11g fewer than thirty counts. Pupils having more than that num- ber report at the upstairs study hall. The nurse's room is soon to be fitted out with a couch, bed, scales, etc. The Superintendent and his secretary's offices are on the first floor. There is a waiting room adjoining the ollices. Next to this room is the conference room of tl1e Board of Education. The library is also on the first Hoor-just opposite the secretary's office. There are about four thousand books in it. It is also equipped with five study tables. The cafeteria, when fully equipped, will be one of the main attrac- tions of the school. There is a dumb waiter connecting the cafeteria on the first floor with the cooking room on the third floor. The cafeteria will be equipped with a counter twenty feet long and thirty inches high, a steam table, 40 x2-L , a meat and gravey panel, an electric heater, a five-gallon cocoa urn, an Edison electric range, and an electric dish- washer. The class rooms have hard wood floors, but the corridors are laid Sixty-six THE MIRROR with inastic flooring. Above the corridor on the third floor is a sky ligl1t. The auditorium has a seating capacity of seve11 hundred and eighty- six. The stage is l5'x60'. Around the stage there are seventy-five foot- lights of twenty-tive watt bulbs. The scenery for the stage has not, as yet, been furnished. The dimensions of the gyinnasiuni are 60'x80'. It is equipped with ahnost every kind of apparatus, such as ropes for climbing, ladders, jumping standards, cross bars, etc. The girls' dressing room together with the girls' instructo1 s office are on the south side, While the boys' with their instructor's oiiice are on the north. Each dressing room con- tains six showers. Tl1e school has electric clocks wl1icl1 are connected with the bells. A master clock in the ottice runs fifty-four secondary clocks. The bells are rung at intervals of forty-three and three minutes for the study and recitation periods, while at morning and noon the clocks ring the study, tardy, and passing bells. The inaster clock runs also tl1e bell system in the Central School. ' There are seventeen telephones throughout the building-all con- nected with the office. ln the entire building there are 550 lights, varying from twenty-five to 250 Watts. Each pupil in the school has his private locker. There are 720 private lockers in all. A The heating system is one of the most up-to-date systems in the country. It is controlled by a Bishop-Babcock control, so' that the tem- perature will reniain at 70 degrees. It is a double system with a flap, so that the pure air is blown over heating coils and tempered in an :air chainber. It is then rnoistened by a jet of steam and heated by another set of coils, then forced by an electric fan through concrete ducts into the class rooms. This is supplemented by direct steam radiation in the rooms. lVe are readily assured that M. H. S. is one of tl1e finest buildings that niay be found anywhere, and one of which all of us may be proud. I -Mary Menke. Sixty-seven THE MIRROR HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Miss Dafoe our music instructor Each Tuesday and Thursday ggrgl after school, as the students are leaving the building, they hear strange sounds coming from Room 311 in which the orchestra practices, indicating that the fourteen members are tuning up. But when that is done-well, I leave the audience to judge as to the merit of the play- ing. Several times we have played at the High School for dances after basketball games. However, this isn't the only scene of our activities. Not long ago we played for a supper at the Baptist Church, and we have helped out on numerous other occasions. The members of this year's orchestra are: Mildred Hoey and Har- riet Stork, pianists, Lura Knickerbocker, Monica Phillips, and Elroy Powley, first violins, Alethe Anderson and Courtnian House, second violins, Milford Childs and Mr. Krum, C melody saxaphonesg Elroy 'Weet, E alto saxaphoneg Harold Paige, cornetg Mortimer Nagle, banjo- mandoling Seelye Nagel, mandolin, Junior Watt, drums.

It is a distinction of which we are proud. The A V. . only drawback is the fact that we shall not be able to enjoy the new building any longer. The class is much smaller than it was when we entered high school in 1920. This circumstance is owing to the fact that many of its former members decided that they would like to stay in high school longer than four years. During our stay in high school we have chosen the following ofiicers: HELEN LANDAUER .............. Freshmfz-n President EDSON POLER ....... .....

The Garrulities of a Senior E ENTERED upon our ca.reer in nineteen twenty, a iiourishing class of Freshmen, numbering over one hundred. According to our reputation, we were as green as the traditional Fresh- ies ever have been. But, in spite of our greenness, we were possessed of good, strong lungs. They enabled us to capture a prize, which Bill Williams offered for the best yell, from those deadly enemies of ours, the Sophomores. Again, our Hamour propre was increased at the appointment of two of our members to the Mirror Staff. One, Clare Ryan, was the class reporter, the other, one of the editors of the J0ke,' department, Edson Poler. When members of the drawing classes made posters for the Medina Dry Goods Company Spring Opening, the Freshmen again showed their superiority by winning a prize. Then, just to reward ourselves for these several triumphs, we gave ourselves a banquet. Although there were not many of us there in view of the number on the class-roll, never-the-less, those who did at- Seventy-seven THE MIRROR tend enjoyed it, from start to finish-with one exception. The girls were obliged to 'tclean up afterwards. However, we did not conduct ourselves in an especially praiseworthy manner in June, for only about half of us became Sophomores. Immedi- ately the Sophomore Class became the best class in school, in lieu of tl1e Freshmen. Because we were Sophomores, the members of our class were eligible to the school societies. We contributed members to the Ergonian Society, tl1e Latin club, and the Boys' club. During the year part of our class who were taking English Two, started the English Club, which was quite a success that year. One meeting may be re- called, especially, when some of tl1e members enacted that famous court scene from The Merchant of Venice. Shylock, in the person of Nor- man Poler, was unusually blood-thirsty that night. During our Sophomore year we also conducted some assemblies with which we entertained the school. Considering the fact that the class was divided into two parts, each having a home-room of its own, our Sophomore year was rather a successful one. ' As Juniors, the class was small enough so that all could be seated in one home-room. We elected our officers at the beginning of tl1e year, and started out to make our Junior class the best ever. We all felt quite in tl1e middle of the pief' for we belonged to the next to the highest class of tl1e school. All of us were so proud of our position that we spent most of our time studying, that we might acquit ourselves well in January and June Regents '. i In February, we made much ado about choosing the pattern for our class rings. You see it was necessary that tl1e rings be worthy of the Class of Twenty-Four-our class. At last we did decide on o11e which we, at least, thought was a fitting one. During our Junior year, the Arista Society was formed, and a good share of its members came from the Junior class. Members of our ranks helped also to make up the other school societies. But societies were not our only aim, for we contributed people to both girls' and boys, basketball teams, the football team, and the baseball team. If the class didn 't do very much during the school year, it made up for any lost time in June. Commencement week was one grand rush for the Juniors as well as for the Seniors. There were picnics and picnics, and tl1en, too, there was all the work of getting the Seniors safely through commencement and its trials. Would you believe that we actually had to lead them to their seats? Well, we did, and then we had to guide them out again, too. When Commencement Week was past, we all said, Just wait until next year, then we will have all the fun. And we have had fun, too, during the entire year. We have the distinction of being the first class to graduate from the new High Seventy-eight THE MIRROR School, and, at the beginning of the year especially, all the Seniors conducted themselves in a very matter-of-fact manner while the mem- bers of the other classes were giving voice to their doubts and fears. I'm sure we gave the appearance of seeming quite at home, and im- pressed the other classes with the great sophistication of the Seniors. We intended to go to Washington, but since there was no Easter vacation we had to change our plans and content ourselves with over- seeing the welfare of the whole institution. Oh, you Juniors, don't you wish you were Seniors now 1? Just think of all our privileges-sitting in the back part of study hall and doing ever so many things that had never been allowed us before. Never mind, you'll have them next yea1', but you'll also feel, as we do, some regrets at leaving this school where we have had so many good times. Maybe you'll have some post-graduates to look after too, though. And now, in June, we are going to make you all proud of us-for we shall live up to our reputationhand make the best class that has ever passed out the doors of old M. H. S. Just Watch our step! -Hazel Gilbert. What the Juniors Think of the Seniors E, THE class of 1925, entered the Medina High School in the V'-N fall of 1921, having no misgivings customary to the usual fresh- liflil men. However, to our dismay, our arrival was met with dis- dain and universal disapproval by the sophomores, the present day high and mighty Seniors. Patiently we have followed in their foot- steps, secretly admiring their activities and somewhat flattered by any mark of recognition shown us. The Seniors almost subject themselves to isolation in study periods, as they have their own special section in the most remote corner of the Junior study hall. Of course we realize that there is some advantage in this, as the notes Cwhich eve11 Seniors condescend to writel are not quite so visible there in their passing. The Juniors overhear things. You 'd almost think we were profes- sional eavesdroppers, judging by the number of things that we might confess to have overheard. Oh well, it isn't our fault that the American voice, as you know, is proverbially high-pitched. Everyone seems will- ing to confide his or her conversation to the whole world, just as girls comb their shingled locks and powder their noses in study periods. Anyhow, soon after the Seniors had received a new allotment of candy, we overheard Reba Kenyon, Mary Menke, Margaret hl0Cill'lIlly, and a few other saleswomen say that they would have to be more condescend- ing to those insignificant Juniors if they wanted to get rid of their candy. Nevertheless, we Juniors bought the candy not to please the Seventy-nlne THE MIRROR Seniors, but merely to have the pleasure of eating it. However, we notice that some members of the Senior class tand especially Dan Clearyl are attracted to certain people in the Junior room. Wonder how that happens! Occasionally some of them partake of frivolity as Edson Poler did, one Sunday afternoon, bobsleighing. ,Edson became so much infatu- ated with bobs that he intends to devote his life to their manufacture. We have watched these same Seniors for so long, that, when we take their places, we'll scarcely find it difficult to assume their superior mannerisms.-Genevieve Gaughan. I-low Ye Tymes Have Changed WAS in the year of 1967 that I made my seconde journeye to our X syster planete now known as Byxzijoricaum, but undyr the -745 antyquated and complycated forms of nomenclature exystante in the earlyer parts of the twentyeth century, that I was able to make my- self acquaynted with the whereabouts and subsequente life of the mem- byrs of the classe of '24, One day of autume as I was saunterying thru the streets of the capital of the nearer empire, Halyboxr, I came upone a prodygyous Byxyijoricaiimian antyquyty shoppe. I traversed the prodygyous por- tale, and as a resulte, before I enjoyed the fresh ayr once more, I was the prowde possessor of one kind of an ynstrumente termed a jixpbrqz- scope by the salubryous proprietor of sayd shoppe. This one moste profusely yxplaned that by yxclaming, Zbq tori obyxg quazefgirpf' one kuld see anie person he wyshed by gazying thru the opalescente stone of agate which kovered one extremyty of the magyc green cylyndroyd. VVherefore, I hastened to my appartment in a nearbye hostelrie, avarycyously clutching the wonderous jixpbrqzscope in my mind. I entered the luxuryous ' hall that served myself as myne study. I carefully pressed the locke switch, and electrycyty ymmedyately shot the bolts into the door and drewe the shades to the mullyoned windowes. Then I pynfully pronounced, Zbq tori obyxg quazefgirpf' After dyverse a.nd unsuccessful attempts I succeeded in yncluding all the let- ters. Then I closely skanned the jizpbrqzscope and mentally wyshed to see old M. H. S. Hardly had I expressed my wish when an exacte replyca of our then new Hygh School appeared on vyolete mirror of the magyc ynstrumente. Now Wythe your consent I wyll wryte yn the language of that dystante day, for althou I lyke to wryte thys way best I have not forgotten the old way: Then at this initial success I expressed a wish to see my old class- mates. First, Pauline Anderson appeared in the tinted mirror. Amidst a background of waving palms and exotic flowers, surrounded by a bevy Eighty U!iF 'f '. Ig f.g T' -fiff ' This ',- 6 fm Q' L - -Q THE MIRROR of semi-naked, darkskinned Bedouin girls, she posed as the seventh wife of an Egyptian sheik of eighty-nine summers. As this pleasing scene faded, there appeared a broad circus ring and everywhere appeared gaudy trappings brazenly proclaiming that Uleary's circus was absolutely tl1e largest on earth. Then who should dash into the ring, but Helen Ives and Ruth Boyle, both on prancing white steeds! They gracefully demonstrated their prowess by intri- cate da11ccs and clever performances while their foaming charges flew along at a giddy speed. ln a side-show of this same circus I beheld Reba Kenyon and Roland Tiffany, though I recognized both with diffi- culty. Reba 's hair was snow-white, and l1er eyes a delicate pink. One sad morning while curling l1er tresses she experimentally used some of the white electricity which Fay Arnett, that celebrated inventor, had recently discovered. And, alas, as a result l1er brown locks became a dead white! Horrified beyond measure at what l1er eyes saw, they faded into shell pink. Then her ruthless husband divorced l1er and left her without a pennyg hence sl1e now supports herself as tl1e sole Albino of Cleary's circus. Poor Roland's early affections had been lavished upon fickle Mildred Rook, who won l1er reputation as a vamp early in her career and who now is in South America as a missionary to Indian fribcs in the Peruvian Andes. Ever since that erratic creature 'gave him the mitten,' Roland has constantly and incessantly wept salty tears of remorse. The circus employed seventeen attendants to carry off his tears in buckets, and three pipe lines had to be previously laid to supply him with money. Next I see Marie Scharlau teaching cooking and calisthenics to tl1e natives in l1er Powder Pulf Institution, which she has established on Tcl ra del Fuego for members of both sexes disappointed in love. Marie banished herself to her present retreat to escape the unwelcome atten- tions of a handsome, ricl1, young batchelor whom she met in Petrograd. Fay Arnett, who with his prosperity has also taken on weight, has not only invented the white electricity, which proved so disastrous to poor Reba, but also radio sets, which are grafted on one 's shoulder in childhood and develop along with the person 's body. Now, all Fay does is to smoke five dollar cigars and play golf. As Fay 's face vanishes from my mirror, I see a lmge observatory perched on a high peak of the Rocky Mountain range. It is the latest fad of Uneta Dye, that famed astronomer and oriental astro-phot0g- rapher, who discovered two years ago that all previous foundations of astronomy were false, and that the sun moved around the earth instead of the earth around the su11. Next, I see Lilah Bateman, the celebrated toe-dancer, whirl the finale of ,her latest Russian presentation while her huge audience so smothers l1er with bouquets that she is half suffocated, and her director, Eighty-one 6 THE MIRROR Elroy Powley, stunned four of the most ardent of her admirers and put scores of them in physical misery for months to come. As this exciting scene fades from view, I behold midst dark Africa's darkest jungles Hazel Gilbert and Marian Ross, fearlessly hunting lions, with ponderous firearms borne along behind by gigantic natives who unquestioningly obey their mistresses' slightest commands. Even as I watch, Hazel spies a crouching carnivora of,the,kind they seek, and she and Marion instantly discharge -their guns at the poor beast. He falls dead and bleeding at their feet. . Then I allow Hazel and- Marion to fare for themselves and I see in northern India at the foot of the Himalayas a turbulent mob of fire worshippers whose l1igl1 priestess is none other than timid Margaret McCarthy. Even as I watch she plunges the sacred knife into the body of the cringing victim, tied on the top of the rude altar, and as tl1e gruesome priests dash forward to suck his life-bloodwshe .chants the saga of the fire god. - 5 Then I see Edson Poler, our modern Rudolph Valentino, starring in his latest production, 'The Queen of Hearts,' a tale Of! Stirring pathos in which the rich young hero chooses between honor and ambi- tion. 'It's a Paramount Picturef Edna Cornell is brooding over, a roomful of papers in her study in the lighthouse on the southeast shore of Lake Ukechobee, Florida, as between the more menial tasks of her position as the sole lighthouse keeper of Lake Okechobee, where she guides the moneyed alligators off the rocks and in her spare hours teaches the lovable rattlesnakes not to beat their delicate rattles upon stone and trees when they get eX- cited, she puts the polishing touches to her commentaries on Burke's 'Conciliation Speech. ' Next, I behold Hubert Krompart midst a regiment of electric fans diligently perusing the latest edition of his South Sea island paper, and wrinkling his forehead above his proverbial eyeshade to think of the next day's editorial. Finally he decides to rave about the magnitude of this island's need of a local refrigerating plant. Frances Jutkiewicz was predicted to become a star in the athletic world until she broke her leg in doing a highland fling for her admirers., Then a moonshine magnate married her for her money, which she had inherited from l1er second husband, and bore her off to his retreat in the Kentucky mountains. Raymond Gilbert I see as the skipper of a prosperous merchant vessel, and although he is acquainted with a rajah's widow in Calcutta, a count's sister in Naples, an astronomer 's daughter in Constantinople, a tribal queen of Melbourne, a Mexican senorita in Vera Cruz and a rich heiress of Buenos Aires, and has engagements pending with a grand duchess of St. Petersburg, a queen's daughter in Ireland, and an Egyp- tian Pasha's niece at Cairo, he still knows a good looking girl when he sees one. Eighty-tW9 I THE MIRROR Allan Stillinger is another famous mariner, and he first found and colonized a hitherto undiscovered continent lying approximately be- tween South America and the Samoan Islands. After years of earnest application to her art, Mary Menke has gained international fame as the director of the largest symphony orchestra of the world and is now universally acknowledged as Pader- ewski's successor and equal. I Next, I see on the magic glass the bewitching features of Eleanor Hill. Shortly after she had inherited her millions wl1ile she was tour- ing central Europe, sl1e made the acquaintance of the Arch-Duke Francis Nicholas Francz Alexander Poleweskoskefoffo, and each became so madly infatuated witl1 the othcrqfof course the penniless seion of nobility never thought of lier coffers of goldj that they were soon united in matrimony, and lived as peacefully as could be expected, under tl1e circumstances. Next comes Albert Klcinsmith, whom I sec as a mighty advocate of justice and ensconced upon the Supreme Court bench. The world has not yet ceased talking of the laudable way in whicl1 he arbitrated between the African republics of Hakaar and Schennibb. As Albert vanished, Marjorie Crockett appeared in my range of vision. Of course, I remembered how two years ago she visited the kingdom of Atlantis, the war queen whose dominion lies under the Tribochaen ocean fwhich I recall used to be called the Atlanticj in her submaiiobile which Marjorie herself invented, and l1ow also she so recently completed l1er second international subway between our nation and that of the Angleworms twhom we used to call the Englishj. Next, I see Minnie Leffler. After vainly striving to gain believers in her back-to-nature doctrine, she waylaid the man of her choice, who proved to be a poor teacher of American History, and bore him off in her airship and sailed the skies till she came to her sanctuary, an iso- lated isle halfway between the earth and Mercury, and there I see her romping with her family in the sunny glades of her remote home. A Now I have told you all whych I have seen yn my Martian or Byxzyi- jorieaumian jixbrqrscope and I hope it gives you as muche pleasure now as yt gave me then, for when I was in that far lande I was happie to see that all of my olde schoolmates had succeeded so well. One thyng that gave me great dyspleasure, however, was that my magye jixpbrqzscope completely vanyshed when I had once traversed one-half of the prodygyous dystance between our natyon and that of Byxzyijoricaum. Regardless of thys mysfortune I was glad to get home once more, where from the materyal whych I had gayned on my sojourne to our syster planete I wrote a popular book on sayde sub- ject and lyved happyly yn my vylla at W'akoreg fformerly known as Long Islandj for the rest of my lyfe.-Ben Blackburn.

ToM REYNOIJDS T SEEMS as if we can't get rid of the lower classmen, no matter how l1ard we try. For, instead of being a group of select gjrigi Juniors, we now have with us all those who have at least thirty counts and not more than fifty-four. This is due to a new organization of the classes since We entered the new school. Three years ago, our class entered the old Medina High School as 'nsigniiicant freshmen. Many of our members have lingered behind li the freshmen and sophomore rooms, either because they failed to overcome the difficulties of their first two years in high school, or be- cause they did not Want to part with their home room teachers. The trials and tribulations of our classmates are many, and you will find a large number of us pouring over books in Room 300, some-' limes as late as five-thirty. In fact, I think a number of tl1e members of our room have adopted the old saying, t'Hard Work Brings Suc- cess, as their motto. The first thing our class did this year Was to elect our officers, so that they might guide us through the coming year. Even though our class has not had many entertainments this year, perhaps CH due to the great desire for study, it is composed of many marvels. Our con- tributions to athletics have been comparatively many, and they have been Well Worth while. We have, also, some literary geniuses, of Whom we are very proud. Now We are no longer looked upon as insignificant freshmen, but high-talented members of Room 300. Here's success to the future occupants of this room! Now, dear reader, please read on and become better acquainted with the members of our class of 1925.

I went to her and asked her if she would put me in a trance. I-'he said that she would, so the first thing that she did was to put a bag over my head, and then she ,told me to be seated. The fortune teller began to drone some unintelligible words, which caused a dreamy sensation to come over nie: The next thing I knew, I felt my spirit rising in the air. I circled about in the air a few times and then I seemed to have a definite destination i11 view, for I traveled until I came to the city of Wasliington. I entered a government building here, and as I passed into a largeroom at one side of a long l1all I saw a solitary figure at the farther end of the room. As I drew nearer I saw that it was Jack Clark. Jack was writing rapidly and when I had approached closely enough, I saw that he was revising the dictionaiy. Ile began to gather his papers together, for he had just finished writing, and to his con- sternation he discovered that he had left out the alphabet from ni to r g so he had to begin writing over again. The next place at which I stopped was at another government building. There were a great many people around this building, all of whom seemed to be heading for one certain place. lt seems that this place was an office, over a window of which, hung this sign, All Questions Answered Here. Perhaps you may guess who was at the window. It was Ray Mattoon. VVhile I waited there a little boy came to the window. He gravely asked Ray what a vessel is, and Ray re- plied that a vessel is a boat. Then the little boy said, H If a vessel is a boat, what is a blood vessel? Promptly Ray answered, That is a life boat. By A Junior. .NE day I heard of a famous fortune teller who could put people Ill Eighty-nine THE MIRROR After I had left the city of Washington, I went to New York City. Here, there were great crowds gathered about a platform. As I made my way toward it, I saw two figures dancing to music from a radio. I made out the two figures to be Janet Whedon and Raymond Gotts. I learned that they l1ad entered a Marathon dancing contest and were the only couple left of all the contestants. They won with a record of one hundred and twenty-one hours. My next stop was at a theatre in the same city. Before I entered the theatre I saw advertised on a bill board the attraction for the day. It was a picture of Virginia Jay, and it was entitled, A Second Theda Bara. The picture was interesting, and Virginia's acting was won- derful. Some great force seemed to draw me back to Washington again, but this time I entered the Supreme Court. A case was being tried, and Philip McElwee was the judge. The case proved to be another such scandal as that of the Teapot Dome scandal of the present day. The chief persons concerned in this were Francis O'Brien and Roy Baker. They were discovered to -be the third wealthiest men in the world just as Doheny is the third wealthiest man at the present time. ' .I left the court soon afterward, for the trial looked as if it would last for some time and I had no time to waste. I hurried until I came to a building from which there issued a great deal of noise. There were three persons in the building, namely, Gertrude Skinner, Gladys Ross, and Marian Perry. Gertrude and Gladys were urgently advocat- ing the cause of Marian Perry as they wished the next president to be a woman. Next door there was another meeting in session, but it was very different from the one I had just left. The Ladies' Missionary Society was holding a meeting, and Mary White had the floor. She was ad- dressing a speech to Helen MacDonald, Amelia Tulowiecki, and Agnes Dockery, the other members. As I left that place I wondered whom I should see next. It hap- pened to be John Watt, and he was causing a lot of excitement. I over- heard someone say that John and another man had had a dispute over a car and a horse. The other man declared that his horse could go faster than John's car. Of course, John disagreed and to settle his question John agreed to a race. That was the reason for the excite- ment. I watched the horse and car start around the course and I saw that John 's car kept in the lead. They had just covered half the dis- tance on the return journey when something dreadful happened. The car broke down down, and John could not finish the race! Some time ago, someone, in fun, said that Henry Cornell was tak- ing lessons on How to Become a Sheik? That jest came true for I saw Henry over in Arabia in his beautiful palace. He seemed 'to have Ninety THE MIRROR finished tl1e lessons for he was framing something, which I later dis- covered, was his diploma. The next persons I saw were Genevieve Gsaughan and Jim Menke. Although I cannot say that they were married, I am able to say that preparations for a wedding were in progress. It seemed strange to me that I should come back to Medina after having traveled through so many large cities, but nevertheless I did. My spirit never stopped traveling until I entered tl1e Park Theatre on Park Avenue. At first there seemed to be no one in the theater, but I looked around until I saw Tom Reynolds. Tom was sitting very still and gazing intently at something. I followed his gaze alld dis- covered that a picture was being shown on the screen. It was the pic- ture of Virginia Jay, entitled A Second Theda Barali' The picture looked very wo1'n and old, and as I watched it, the film collapsed. Later I heard Tom talking with another man. Tom was saying, I can not understand why that film should have fallen apart. I can, said the second person. You have had me show that film so many nights, after everyone has left, that it just naturally hal to fall to pieces from so much use. The next person I encountered, was Alice Cleary. Everyone knows what a wonderful voice she has. At any rate it was good enough for funerals, for I saw her at one of them, and she was singing, Beau- tiful Isle of Somewhere. As I passed through the streets of Medina, I saw billboards here and there, stating that Lura Knickerbocker would give, at the state armory, a violin concert for tl1e president. As it lacked but five minutes ofthe time set for the concert, I thought I would go to it. On my way, I reflected that Lura must have become a wonderful violinist, if even the president came to hear her! When I reached the armory, Lura had begun to play. I certainly enjoyed the performance, that is, up to the time that the string on l1er violin broke. Lura then became so bashful that she would not play again. 'My journeys did not seem to be over in Medina, for I found that I' was traveling up State Street. I stopped when I came to Leah Wl196l0F,S house. Leah had on a big apron and she was helping her mother wash the dishes. VVhile I watched her I heard a ring at the doorbell. Leah's mother went to the door and announced the arrival of Holland Fisher. Contrary to expectation, Leah stayed in the kitchen and finished the dishes, then she swept the f'loor. After this had been done, she' Went in to see Rolland. As my spirit had grown weary of wandering I came out of my trance. But before I left the home of the fortune teller, I decided that I should come again to find out the future of those whom I had not seen. -Millicent Condon.

Regents' and Midyears' do not frighten us for We are prepared for them, or at least we try to be. Our aim is to show our Seniors that We can l-'eep up to their standards of scholarship. In fact, we are so sturlious that on looking into 1206 at any time o11e can see a considerable group of people diligently preparing or finishing lessons.

' . This year the sophomores were assigned seats in the same home room as the freshmen. Of course, it was a great blow to their pride, but naturally one expected something of the kind would happen for the old saying says, Pride goeth before a fall, and it may be noticed that such proverbs are usually true. But the sophomores were con- soled by the thought that they were now in a position to watch the antics of tl1e green freshmen. The girls in Room 206 organized and elected officers-president, vice-president, secretary-treasurer and cheer-leader. Meetings have been held before school opens in the morning. Many assemblies have been held for the benefit of the basketball games. The girls sang the school songs and gave tl1e school yells for the team at these meetings. Miss Smith led the songs, and Rose Spitzer, the cheer-leader, led the yells. In this manner a great deal was accomplished for the team. Every time a girl in our room has been ill a meeting has been called, and someone has made a motion that we send the girl some flowers. These motions were always passed by a unanimous vote. 'Jther assemblies have been called to arrange for the different activi- ties which we have had in our room. At Christmas there was a Christmas tree. Each one gave a joke present to the person whose name she drew. Afterwards these gifts were put on to the Community Tree. A number of girls from our room attended the program given by the Georgette Players. Another of our activities was the party held in the gymnasium. Miss Wilson's room was invited, and altogether about sixty girls at- tended the party. The girls played games and danced to the music from the piano and victrola. Then the refreshment committee served the Heats. After this the girls gathered about tl1e piano and sang some of the popular' songs and some of the school songs. The girls of Room 206 are of the opinion that they have had more fun than tl1e pupils of any other room. Most of the sophomores look forward with reluctance to September 192-L, when they tl1i11k of leaving Room 206. They consider the freshmen lucky to have the opportunity of staying there one year more. -Lucia Condon. Ninety-four THF.

The latter corresponds to the Freshman year of the Senior High School. The systems in the cities, however, are different from those in the smaller towns. The smaller systems adapt the idea to suit local needs. Such a revised system is used in Medina. The Junior High School Department was founded in the Medina Public School System in 1921. Until 1923 it included the seventh and eighth grades, but now the sixth A grade has been added. The advantages derived from the system are many. Through the department work, the students become more accustomed to the ad- vanced methods employed in the Senior High School. When a teacher devotes all of her time to the one subject in which she is particularly interested, she is able to make it more vital to the students. This sys- tem also enables thc students of the eighth grade to study Senior High School subjects more easily. A larger percentage enter tl1e Senior High School from the Junior department than formerly from the eighth grade. They become more interested i11 the work, and a greater num- ber scem to want to go through high school and college. Three cheers for the Medina Junior High School! We hope that this may be the most successful year it has ever seen and that it may continue to develop and grow as it has in its short existence.

Not all may be born to be leaders As the world calls the ones in the van, But at least we can all be succeederS In doing the best that we can. And scwicc-no service for others Is ever considered worth while, Be it rendered to school or to brothers, That is not given free with a smile.

V ' tl I not have .1 football team this xeai However, owing to IG praiseworthy efforts of Bill Kennedy and several other energetic fellows who wished to see M. ll. S. represented by a football team, this need was remedied. These fellows put on a show at the Allen Theatre and made up the deficit in the Athletic Association 's treasury. By direct co-operation between tloaeh Peek and all the fellows, even though they were late in getting started. a fast and clever football team was developed. This was also due to lllillly nights of hard practice. The tiist of the tive games played was with Albion at Medina. Owing' to a lack of practice and team-work, M. ll. S. was defeated by her old rival. Medina won the second game, which was played against Webster. The M. H. S. boys confused their heavier opponents by forceful line plunging and clever forward passing. The next contest was out of town. Fairport won this game by the small margin of 12 to 6. This game was hard fought, and if it l1adn't been for a little tough luek the Medina team would have been victorious. llowever, when Fairport came up here, their players realized that Medina was not so easily beaten. Medina out-played Fairport all through the game, and the team's brilliant aerial attack brought M. H. S. out victorious. , Flneouraged by two victories, Medina journeyed to Albion. Albion was supported by her usual quota of llugans and Donovans, who seem to be our Waterloo. By means of desperate attacks on our line the boys from the county seat were able to score thirteen points while the 'locals were unable to score. ln this game at Albion, it was the same old story-mud, the rule, and dry land, the exception. The Albionites were evidently better used to the mud than Medina, because while Medina was attempting to es- tablish herself and collect l1er scattered senses, Albion wriggled through the mud to victory to the tune of 13 to 0. lt was largely due to these conditions that Medina made such a poor showing. Some day in the cheerful future, we hope to beat Albion at her own game-football. For many years we have not succeeded, but as true M. H. S. students We are looking forward optimistic-ally to this vic- tory. Here's hoping that the 192-l football lfliillll will have the honor of accomplishing this task!

C iff After about three weeks of practice Coach Peck chose Stork, Dutcher, Reynolds, Ayrault, and Brown for the first teani with Cooper, McKernan and Clark as subs, Tl1e first game of the season was played at Spencerport. Our boys were not used to their court, which was exceedingly small, and the game was won by the Spencerport team. The second game of the season was one of the best played and the most brilliant of tl1e season. The game progressed with first one team and then the other caging a basket. VVith about four niinutcs to play, Dutcher, one of our mainstays throughout the season, succeeded in getting a. basket, thus giving Medina the lead by two points. Ini- mediately after that, Oakfield tied the score after which our fast forward, Reynolds, sifted another for Medina. With but fifty seconds to play the Oakfield center shot a foul, after which his team-mate scored a field basket. Thus Cakfield won a hard fought game. The game with the Alumni, including Stork, Horan, Conley, Ives, and Cleary, was well attended by a cheering crowd who certainly ob- tained their money's worth by witnessing the fast and excellent play- ing of former Medina Stars. The Medina High School won this game by a small margin. Medina added the Spencerport and Middleport games to their vii-- tories, but on the trip to Rochester tl1ey lost a game to Charlotte. The games, as a whole, were well attended, and the dancing follow- ing most of the games was enjoyed by all. Much credit is due Stanley Stork who captained the team through the season. Louie Brown, who, as usual, starred in every game, ex- hibited his usual excellent brand of basketball on several occasions, while Ayrault, as back guard, kept many a basket from our opponents.

HIS year the Girls' Basketball team did not have its usual suc- M p cess. In 1923 they had no difficulty in whining one game right after the other, but this year they seem to have been handi- capped in almost every possible way. ln the first place the girls could not begin their practising until a few weeks before the first game. Furthermore, the only material they had was a small group of inexperienced players, since almost the whole 1923 team had graduated. However, through the praiseworthy efforts of the Coach, Miss Gar- net Knights, a fairly good team was formed. We feel sure that with a little more experience they, too, will make a winning team. Katherine Stocking, as manager of the team, deserves much praise, and we feel sure that the girls never could have managed without Frances Jutkiewicz, the Captain.

The very first trip I took fwhich should have been the pleasantestj was the very worst. The only excuse for this, as far as I could see, was the Ford we rode in. When we reached Medina High, I was all out of breath and excited. My heart almost split. Just at noon students poured into the library and demanded their Mirrors It was just my luck to be left, and so I dreamed happily, under several layers of dust, for the rest of the summer. In the fall I was dug out of my grave of' dust and sent to Albion. Aside from the fact that I'm homesick, I've been having a very good time. I cannot help but enjoy. the flattery that I get. Many boys and girls fight over me. They are so desirous of reading me. N o one ever laughs quite as much at anything else as they do at my clever jokes and drawings. I have some friends here, and they are priceless to me. Many of the books are very envious of' me, but when tl1e first barriers of reserve are broken down, they are all very likable. Please send- my love to all my relatives and friends in Medina, and hurry the 1924 Mirror. Yours for M. H.

The Literary department is very good, but why not have fewer jokes and a few cartoons? The Stylus -Broclqiort State Normal lVe found your newspaper and your annual very interesting and at- tractive.

Thc Chezzrouu-Albion High School Your Editorials and Literary Department are very attractive and well-written, and your cartoon page is extremely clever and amusing. We are sure that you must have a great many young poets at Albion High, judging by your enjoyable Poetry Department. We might sug- gest that your class notes be enlarged a bit. The Lariat -West High School, Akron, Ohio Your excellent magazine shows that you have the co-operation of 'me Hundred Nineteen THE MIRROR the Lariat staff and the student body. However, we think a few stories would greatly improve your Literary department. We think your pair tree is extremely clever. A criticism that one might make is that the Senior pictures occupy too much space. The Garnet and Gray -Albany High School From cover to cover we have found the Garnet and Gray very attractive and thoroughly enjoyable. However, We think that, if you should have a snapshot page, it would greatly add to the value of your paper. Your Literary Department is exceptionally good, especially The Banana Trust and The Courage of a Quakeressf' The Reveilleu-Webster High School The Reveille is very attractive, both inside and out. We think the school news is well-written up. However, your annual is com- posed mostly of photographs and advertisements, and we believe that some lively stories and snapshots, together with a greater number of snappy jokes, would greatly improve your publication. The Red and Black -Leroy High School Your paper is certainly one to be proud of. The department head- ings are very clever and attractive, and we like your cartoon page very much. We think some snappy stories in your Literary Depart- ment would greatly add to the worth of your paper. The Green and Gold -Dunkirk High School We found your class annual very attractive and enjoyable, but We think that if you had some real stories its value would be greatly in- creased. The criticism might also be made that your advertisements are scattered too much. f'The Forum -Lockport High School Your Editorials and School News are well written, and your ear- toon page very amusing. Your cover and department headings are very good. We think that the appearance of your paper would be im- proved if your advertisements were all in the back of your magazine. The High School H f3?'d'Zd,,-W6StH9ld High School, Westfield, Mass. We greatly enjoyed reading your paper. The jokes are snappy and full of pep.

Yes, whether we want to or not, we must believe it. As we think of our classmates and their present whereabouts we have to admit that the class prophecy was not so much an exaggeration as it seemed to us then. For many, last June meant the realization of that long-sought goal-graduation from college. Wie are very proud of the achievements of these members, and our only regret is that their success has taken them so far away that our reunions are few. Kenneth Paine, our Class President, completed his course at Llor- nell last June and is now Fruit Specialist for Chautauqua County. He is living at Fredonia, New York. We know how successful he will be in his chosen work. Noble Potter has brought great honor to his Alma Mater. He was an honor graduate of Hobart College last June. He is now reporting for the Utica Daily Press at Utica, New York. His talent for story- writing will be utilized daily in this work. Kenneth Turner, Editor-in-Chief of the 1918-19 Mirror, is one of the members of '19 who has gone far in professional work. At Hamil- ton College l1e distinguished himself -and M. H. S. in his notable achieve- ments both in studies and in extra-curricular activities. At present he is completing his work in the field of medicine at the Harvard Medical College. One Hundred Twenty-two H THE MIRROR Marion Rowley is now living in Chicago. She is doinfr secretarial Work in an insurance office. We suppose she is still keeping up the A-l- standard of her high school career. Mabel Benson is also commercially inclined, although we wonder how long she will maintain this attitude. She is living in Rochester and working in an office of the Eastman Kodak Company. Jolm Berry is now Assistant Manager of the New York Telephone Company at Asbury Park, New Jersey. He received his B. S. degree at Colgate with the Class of '23. Carl Bowen has found his true calling, we think. After completing a course in Salesmanship, he accepted a position with a furniture concern as salesman. He makes his headquarters at Baltimore, Mary- land. His oratorical powers must prove valuable in this line of work. Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin Bohall, fnce Beatrice Bulemorcl, are living at Oswego, New York. They have a little son, Richard. Bruce Hutchinson was graduated from Syracuse University in June, 1923, and is now accountant for the Brown-Lipe-Chapin Gear Com- pany at Syracuse, New York. Among those of us who have chosen tl1e teaching profession are: Elizabeth Smith, who is teaching in Buffalo, Esther Boyle, who is teaching in North Tonawandag Agnes Benedict, who has a position near Medina, and Mildred Barton who is teaching at Hempstead, Long lsland. Ronald Boyd l1as wandered farthest away from Medina. He is in Los Angeles, California. He was graduated from Colgate with the Class of '23, John Chapman is also quite far from Medina. At present he is working in the Bookkeeping Department of the Continental Motor Company at Detroit, Michigan. Nevertheless, a few of our number remained loyal to the home town. Marjorie Collins is Working in the office of the Western N. Y. Utilities Company. Mary Riemer Hellwig is also living in Medina, and Ruth Shearer, who is now Mrs. Haley, is making her home here. Violet Beach is another member of '19 who has entered tl1e teach- ing profession. She completedher course at the University of Roches- ter in June, 1923, and is now in the History Department of Gowanda High School. The writer is teaching Kindergarten in North Tona- Wanda. We all look back with happy memories to the days we spent in M. H. S. and often wish we might be there again. Congratulations to the Seniors and the best of luck to tl1e Mirror. Mildred S.

Four years ago, We adopted this suggestion. We were not on t.he verge of starva- tion, but, nevertheless, we needed the optimism tonic. Everyone was murmuring, 'fThere goes '20. VVill it make good? Those of us who contemplated higher education were being consigned to the depths of tl1e Frosh Hades, down with the rest of the sIi1ne, while others were at tl1e mercy' of the traditional, cruel, cold world. There was nothing else to do but laugh, so away we went, providing ourselves with an abundance of grins and giggles, but gazing backward mean- while at that snug, warm M. H. S. nest. In recounting our wanderings, we shall begin with another little motto: Officers first! Edythe Krompart, tl1e president of the Class of 1920, after a course in tl1e Rochester Business institute, decided to remain in Medina. At present she is working in tl1e Levan and Krom- part store. Clncidentally, we can never forget how 'tEde's nimble fingers expounded the latest dance hits every noon hour in the old study hall. How the Frosh stared as the dignified Seniors-let us be trite!- tripped the light fantastic and relaxed before beginning their strenuous UID labors. The Vice-President of '20, Laverne Allchin, the boy- who-never-was-late, is traveling for an out-of-town concern now. Re- cently, Mr. Allchin and Miss Monica 0'Grad'y, a former student at M. H. S., were married in Medina. Catherine Whipple, the secretary of the Class of '20, is one of the many feminine members of the group which has chosen the teaching profession. She was graduated from Geneseo Normal in 1922 and is teaching at present in Olean, New York. 'tKitty is another musician of '20 at whose skillful touch Hllarda- neIla echoed through the study hall and set Senior feet tingling. The other memberswho have chosen teaching are: Hazel Botsford, Viola Rook, Ruth Stoddard, Ethel Culver and Margaret Frost. Hazel Botsford and Margaret Frost were also graduated in 1922 from Gene- seo Noimal and accepted positions at Perry and Scottsville, respec- tively. Viola Rook attended Buffalo Normal and at present is teach- ing in Buffalo. Ruth Stoddard, after having been graduated from Brockport Normal, is established in Akron, New York, while Ethel Culver, after having attended the Middleport Training Class, has charge of a school near East Shelby. Three of our number are at present in higher institutions of learn- ing: Carl Brown and Glenn Jones in their Senior year at the Uni- versity of Illinois, and Homer Maynard is in his Senior year at Syra- cuse University. We are proud of the accomplishments of these class- mates, and we wish them continued success.

Tl1ose who have had a chance to test the results, say that as a cook, especially as a cake-maker, Doris cannot be beaten. Three of us are now in institutions of higher learning, preparing for great deeds in the near future. Medford Thompson and Remington Kohler are taking tl1eir third year in the engineering course at Cornell University. Norman Hogle is at Buffalo University taking a course in pharmacy. It has been rumored that the strict enforcement of pro- hibition is responsible for Norman's choice of work, but, of course, we donit believe it. Four of us are giving our services in the business world. Kathryn Rowley, although so far away that few of us ever see her, is at work in an office in Chicago, after a commercial course in Rochester Busi- ness Institute. Sarah Boyland departs each morning for Albion where she finds work for amusementj in the office of tl1e New York Canners. Clement Cielewich is planning a trip to Syracuse where l1e will be in the automobile business. Frank Stillinger is working at Mahar's. fMedina holds great attraction for Frankl. Out of a class of fifteen members, seven of us have chosen to sacri- tice our youth a11d dispositions in the enlightenment of our country 's future citizens. Velma Waterson QWVho can imagine our Velma teach- ing?J has the first grade at Hempstead, Long Island. Genevieve Smith is also at Hempstead, teaching sixth grade. So beloved by l1er pupils is Genevieve that she almost had to hire a special train to take her Christmas presents to Medina. Marian Hegman, our Class President, is enjoying a fifth grade in Palmyra, New York, while Esther Boyd has the seventh grade work in Newport, New York. Mary Swart, by her fine entertainments, has made herself quite famous as a teacher in her own district. Charles Colburn, after a course in Ypsilanti, has ac- cepted a position in Junior High work and Physical Training in Hart- ford. Michigan. Gladys Mattoon is teaching seventh and eighth grade English in LeRoy, New York. Although the building and many of the people in old M. H. S. are new to us, it does not seem so long since the faculty bade us a joyful farewell. At any rate, we often think with pride of our Alma Mater and appreciate this opportunity to send our very best wishes to the school and to the Mirror, Gladys Mattoon, LeRoy, N. Y. if if ' fl Sli' A Modern Exodus THE CLASS OF 1922 In matters of common experience when we come across the word, One Hundred Twenty-six T,HE MIRROR exodus, it brings to our minds the movement of a great group of people. Now one could hardly employ the words, great group of people, to the Class of 1922, so I take the liberty, with your approval, of changing this phrase, giving it a form which corresponds more nea1'ly to the size of the class, tllld which may be CNVho knowsil an an- ticipation of its future. The new meaning of the term may now be stated as the movement of a group of great people. As Moses of old led the Children of lsrael through the wilderness, so a 11ew and ab- stract Moses, Ambition by name, has led each member of the 1922 class on a modern exodus into the sea of life. To the patient reader will now be unfolded, if he cares to search farther, a brief history of the wanderings of the children of Medina High School, Class of 1922. After spending a year at the Bryant-Stratton Business College in Buffalo, Carroll' Boyd now has the distinction of being tl1e youngest coal dealer in Medina, barring none. Nor have his business adventures been confined alone to the handling of the black diamonds. NVith two other partners in the enterprise, he provided in his Dance Hall at Shadigee a social gathering place for many of his former classmates and friends this past sunnner. The writer has hopes that some day Razz will turn his talents to the erection of a new, long-needed hotel in Medina. ln her second year at the Eastman School of Music one can find Alice Jay, during oif hours. Alice writes that tl1c Eastman School has some of the finest instructors in the music world, and after listen- ing to her performance on the violin one has no hesitancy in believing her statement. ' Among those at home are to be found Ethel Coleman in Medina, Meryl Skinner in Carlton, and Charles 'Parish in Millville. The writer wonders whether Charles's literary ambitions are still as strong as they were in high school. He has recently seen in one of the popular magazines some short stories which reminded him very much of some of Charlie's work. Can any reader of the Mirror enlighten him on this subject? The Middle West has claimed two of our number. Richard Free- man is in his second year at the University of lllinois, and, I have heard, is breaking a few scholastic records there. Dick's liking for Chemistry should carry him far in the field of science. ln the University of Michi- gan, Htightly clutching thc end of his pencilf' as our historian so aptly put it, Edwin Edmunds is proceeding to Hdraw his way to thc heights of fame. He is enrolled in the Architectural College there, and ac- cording to all reports he is carrying off his share of the honor points. Edwin Hstooped to conquer in theatricals this past year, and Christ- mas holidays found l1in1 a member of the Michigan Dramatic Club cast which put on its highly enjoyable production, Cotton Stockings, in many of our large cities at that time. One Hundred Twenty-seven THE MIRROR There are some who upon graduation went immediately into the business world. In this group we 11ote Robert Willis with the Western N. Y. Utilities Company, Daisy Schrader with the Medina Case Furni- ture Company, Eva Sanborn with the Medina Foundry Company, Al- berta Kihler with the Robert H. Newell Company, Clayton Hinkley in the Medina Post Office, and both Helen Crockett and Carl Hayes work- ing in town. The Normal Schools have claimed two of our number, Marie Horner at Brockport, and Mary Lyster at Buffalo. Clara Hill, we understand, is at Kcuka College, and there, as in her high school days, she is lead- ing in the scholastic field. n Three of our members have found positions outside of town more attractive. Jane Waterson has decided upon school teaching, and is established now near Lyndonville. According to reports, Arthur Shisler's present home is at Grand Lodge, Michigan, from which he commutes daily to his work in Lansing. In the Art Department of Sibley, Lindsay and Curr Company in Rochester, one can find Kenneth House during working hours. Ken has not forgotten that he is to become, some day, an interior decorator, so in the evenings he is tak- i11g up night school work at Mechanics' Institute. The writer is nearing the close of his second delightful year at Cor- nell. Along with him, two others of the old 22 class have chosen this great University far above Cayuga's waters to be their Alma Mater. Helen Paine and Maurice Fitzgerald are .enrolled in the Agricultural and Engineering schools, respectively. The longer one stays in Cornell the more he becames convinced of the great power and influence this college, through her alumni, wields not only in educational matters, but in the business world and in the affairs of the nation as well. In the realm of sports, the University boasts a football team whose as- cendency in the East is challenged only by Yale, a basketball team which has carried off the Intercollegiate League title, a track squad, a crew, and a lacrosse team which give promise to be serious con- tenders for the highest honors this spring. But it would not be fair to the representatives from the other colleges fwho cannot reply in this articlej for me to shout too many praises of my University from the hill tops. There is one thing of interest, however, that I must not fail to mention. It is peculiar how Cornell alumni retain a certain fondness for hills and hill climbing Cbegotten, no doubt, from their four years of practice herel. This was fully impressed upon me this past summer in a hiking trip through the Green Mountains when I met three old Cornell men tramping the trail. I had the pleasure of spend- ing the nigl1t with two of them, and we all had a good laugh recalling the climbing they used to d'o, and I am still doing, up the hills every day in Ithaca. In Princeton University, down in New Jersey, Howard Phillips has One Hundred Twenty-eight T H E hll R R O R found his ideal, and it is not hard to see wl1y, for Princeton is certainly a wonderful old school. Princeton, by the way, is a pioneer in a new form of education which allows the advanced student a much freer rein in his studies, doing away with the old compulsory attendance of classes, and putting education on a voluntary and not obligatory basis. llet us hope we shall all come to it soon! Anil now, my friends, you have gone through the last of the grad- uates of the Class of 1922. 'lt is strange how quickly upon graduation we begin to lose track of each other and how each succeeding year makes it more difficult to place our old high school friends. The days of class reunions seem to have gone by the board, as it were, and the Alumni Department of the Mirror offers about the only means of I eeping in touch with friends of former days. It has been this purpose that has animated the present article, and the writer will feel more than repaid for his feeble efforts, should this composition serve to keep alive a spirit of friendship and intimate contact among the graduates of Medina High School, and particularly the 1116IIlb8I'S of the Class of 1921 lVith best wishes for the success of the 'tMirror, and kindest re- gards for my former Alma Mater, I feel it a great honor to sign myself. A loyal Alumnus, Ithaca, New York LeRoy J. Skinner, Jr. lllf Il if Ili From the lnfant of the Family THE crass or 1923 As the Class of 1923 is really the infant, so to speak, of the Alumni Department, its members have hardly had time to become great ora- tors, statesmen, or professional men. They have been diligently study- ing or working, preparing a good foundation for their future lives. But let us think a moment about the individual members of the Class of 1923, as it is today. Before beginning the class-roll, however, our fii si thought centers about the Class Adviser, Miss Ferguson. This year she is again helping M. H. S. Seniors along the thorny path to wisdom. We know that l1er sympathetic understanding and unfailing loyalty will straighten out for '24 not only the scholastic tangles but other important problems as well. The officers of the Class of '23, especially, bear testimony of her unselfish work and advice. Maude Rands, the president, is working now in Arnold 8 Bennett's Insurance Office. and Edward Soucie, tbetter known as Suse b, the vice-presi- dent, is at Niagara University taking a pre-dental course. CWhen he graduates, perhaps he will give the members of '23 reduced rates for pulling teethl. Esther Petit, the secretary, is working in Woolworth's store. It is rumored that Esther wears a ring on her third finger, and One Hundred Twenty-nine 9 THE MIRROR that her working days are numbered. Raymond Rowe, the treasurer, is established in Rochester. VVe suspect that the banking profession his claimed him. Raymond always enjoyed taking care of money an l col- lecting bills. Julia Fay, the valedietorian of the Class of '23, is studying at New York State College for Teachers at Albany. The Salutatorian, Lester Brewer, is working in the office of the Swett Iron Works. tEven iron is not too hard for himj. Kathryn Dockery is worlfinfr at the Niagara Sprayer plant in Middleport. VVe believe that she, lif-te Estlier, will probably be employed otherwise in a short time. Elsie Rook went to summer school last year and is now teaching a rural school. H'an anyone imagine Elsie as a dignified schoolmarm?l Lucille lflowe fthe manfhaterj and Margaret Willett are working at Acer 8 Whedon's now. Dorothy Hunt is workingfin the Stebbins's Jewelry Store. lt is said that she specializes in diamond rings. John Horan, CJ. D., Ch'oko,'1' etc., you knowi, is in Westfield working for Bill Williams. Althoughhe has been there only a few months, we hear that he has found the most wonderful girl. Elroy-Powley, 'Daniel Cleary, and Mark Pringle are back at M. H. S. thisiyear. The school, or perhaps certain pupils, held so much attrac- tion for them that they could not endure the thought of departure. Loraine Croach is working in the offices of Newell's Shirt Factory. Her quiet UD ways no doubt make her invaluable to her employer. Eva Taylor, another business woman of '23, shook the dust of Medina from her feet and accepted a position with the Albion Manufacturing Com- pany. She states that the people fWe have a suspicion she means fel- lowsj in Albion are awfully nice. Helen Brown, the American His- tory star, is working in Mahar's office. She, like the majority of the feminine members of '23, seems to have singled out the one certain man. fPerhaps they are all making good use of Leap Yeari. , Francis LeBar and Earl Goldman are working in Rochester. We suppose that Earl is trying to solve a very perplexing problem. Per- haps it may be summed up in this delicate question: Which of the three shall I marrytl' As yet, Earl has found no answer. Glenn Armiger also left Medina and is now working in Lockport. Margaret Pringle is seldom seen in town, although she is still in Knowlesville. At present she is in a store there. f -Clayton Ives, one of the best athletes ever graduated from M. H. S., is applying his abundant energies to work for the Government. CEvery- one says that his blue suit and official-looking cap are very becoming to, his style of beautyj. 0ney stork is another athlete who decided to remain in the home town. fPe1-haps 'tHap decided for himi. At any rate, he is working at Mahar's and, as a sideline, is playing basket- ball with Akron. We hear that Cincy is still exhibiting that famous brand of the game that won praise for him in M. H. S. Une Hundred Thirty THE MIRROR lflianeis Uonley. at Niagara l'nive1'sity, is, like Suse, taking a pre-dental eonrse. Evidently, Con eoneluded that Suse would be rather busy trying to attend to all the inenlbers of '23. We lu-ai' that Ilarold Daniels has deserted the farm and is working' now-at tlie lnerey of Uald'ield's evils. Nevertheless, we believe that il2ll'0l1liS speeial c'lia1'zu'tei'istie of 0Iltl1l1lSlll will some day help to plaee luis name in Uxvllllk Who. ln faet, we are inelined to be particularly llopefnl for all the nienibers of '23, As we look over our Ulass Roll, we Hn l that we are all striving for the same ends: success, the fulfill- ment of our ideals, and the ultimate attainment of happiness and the opportunity for serviee in our elloiee of work. Hut even tll0llg'll we inay mlitll-1' in our ambitions and ideas, we all eredit our mother sc-llool. old Rl. ll.

We notice it when opening our newspapers or magazines. when driving' along country roads or riding in street cars, and even at the rnovies, we see evidences of attempts to bring a certain article before the public mind. Any business which serves the public realizes the futility of atternpt- ing to earry on trade unless it advertises. This means that an advertiser niust have faith in his goods, and the public is quick to realize that the greater the amount of advertising, the better the quality of the goods. Advertisers in The Mirror have shown this faith in themselves. We take this opportunity to thank them for their vital iinaneial assis- tanee in the production of our year-book. We feel confident that they will receive the reward of their reliability, evidenced by their Willing- ness to advertise, in increased sales, and the patronage of school and cornrnunity. fTl1e Editor. 0 aye dwlv Ae W 94 a c?

' Rumor has it that Mary Menke is very nimble with her feet. Edna Cornell fell down stairs yesterday morning, injuring her thumb and foot in particular and herself in general. Perhaps tl1e class had better order an elevator for poor Edna. YVe don t want her to break her neck. nl ' , And Hazel Gilbert! VVell it really is scandalous, hut just ask her how she does her chemistry experiments! Daniel Cleary seems to have a great fondness for looking in other people 's 'Windows VVho would have ever thought that Ruth Boyle could be jealous? She even envies her sister when the latter has a sore throat and can stay home from school. Rumor also has it that Helen Ives's dog has the Wanderlust and cannot be persuaded to stay at l101Il6. Helen herself seems to be on the sick list, for she has a dreadful cold. A Raymond Gilbert seems to be one of those people who like to.pro- erastinate. He doesn't believe in doing today what can be done to- morrow just as well. I Edson Poler seems to have a very difficult time getting home for dinner nowadays. Can't you just see how thin he is getting? Norman Poler's feet seem to be in his way when he goes to sit down in English class. Or perhaps it's the other way round, and the seat is so large that it's in the way of his feet. Frances Jutkiewicz seems to like to turn somersaults. Ileora Bale, according to Mr. Mattoon, does altogether too much posing in History class. Ben Blackburn hasn't much business ability. He oan't even keep a contract which he has made with a girl of the Senior c-lass. Uneta Dye is very absent-minded. Yould think that when she had a dollar she'd know what she did with it, but she doesn't seem to be able to keep track of them. ---- Sportsmen If you lose the game, Don't Worry about thatg Try to be sportsmen and swing your hat.

And Edson, studious Edson, his fate is hard to bear, He turns on tl1e current for the electric chair. And Mrs. Andrew Gump, her other name is Jen Comes to Medina often to visit kith and kin.

THE MIRROR A Trouble-Maker I saw a little, teeny note, a-sitting on a chair, It looked so small and innocent, I picked it up with care, I turned it over on its back and read what it did say, And then I sealed it up again and sent it on its way. 'Twas just a little, kindly act to help the note along, It looked so small and so forlorn I did not judge it wrong, But little things have big results, or so the sages say, I heard the teacher's pained, stern voice, Stay after school to-day. And then in accents firm, and strong, Bring that note right up here! I tottered to the teacher's desk, my knees they shook with fear, And then I gave my little note into her outstretched hand, I have a vague recollection it belonged to Miss De Land. And that is why, when now I see a note upon a chair, Instead of stretching out my hand I leave it sittin' there. -Helen J.
