It does seem paradoxical that in the search for political liberty, man has lost control over his own liberty, for no longer does an individual exist as an individualg he is now part of a great social machine by whose laws he is governed. Wherever there are man-made conven- tions to guide or control society, there cannot be a state of absolute liberty. What is liberty? According to one authority, it is, Hthe state of being free from the control of others, but in our world such a state of affairs is called anarchy. Can we do as we please, when we please? Are there not officials especially appointed to see that we do not do what is wrong in the estimation of society? Therefore, it is obvious that we do not enjoy personal liberty, nor can we enjoy such liberty under the principles by which our modern social order exists and progresses. The only time in which there was an ideal state of freedom was in p1'e-l1is- toric ages, before men began to band together for protection and for food. Mr. Stone Man wandered about, choosing his route in relation to his food supply. One cold rainy day, he discovered the comfort derived' from using a cave as a protection from the elements and he used it henceforth as his permanent home. As he returned from the hunt, one spring morn, he found his cave occupied by another stone man of about the same strength. Thinking it useless to fight, he approached with the following treaty, Give me back my cave and I'll assist you if anyone tries to seize your cave, likewise, you must help me if someone seeks to occupy my cavefl Nothing loath, the second cave-man assented and, with this treaty, came an end to the ideal state of absolute liberty for the individual. As time passed, man began to form into small groups which competed with one another for existence. Smaller groups grew larger as the struggle for life drove bands together for mutual aid, and today we have a vast, complex social Page Twen I y-six IH-swgariulwl rswra ll order which depends for its success upon the co-ordination of the larger groups and the subordination of the individuals comprising each group. The same situation confronts these groups as was met by the early stone men. To secure one want, another must be given up, one liberty must be sacri- ficed to receive a more desirable privilege. Thus we have the individual, as an individual, subjected' to the rule of the whole for the general advancement of the whole. To furt-her this end we have governments which control the activities of individuals with reference to internal order and social welfare. The group must sacrifice the needs of many of its units, there is no other way to progress. All this leads to the curtailmcnt of the freedom of each group for the good of the whole. An individual cannot act but for the general advancement of the group to which he belongs. This is the basis of our social and political order and' when this fact is realized, an end will come to the petty, internal bickerings which but lead to chaos. This is not a theory which confronts us, it is an established principle. To realize how far governmental control extends over the units of the national group, it but requires a return to the hectic days of 1917-1918. At the order of Congress, money, food, clothing and lives were commandeered for the continuance of policy. Thousands donned khaki and marched away into the red maw of death. Our daily lives were destroyed, public utilities were put under the regulation of the government. Free speech, the greatest privilege of democracy, was banned and those who opposed the commands of the government were sentenced to spend their time in prison. All this was accomplished without any great upheaval such as characterizes several other nations. It provides conclusive proof that the indi- vidual is subjected to control by the whole and it is the greatest achievement in the history of political and social order when individuals willingly sacrifice their personal freedom for the sake of group progress. In the flagrant violation of laws of which the Prohibition Act is representa- tive, the result may be seen of an egotistical few placing themselves in opposition to law and' order. Without regard to the merits or demerits of the Prohibition Act, it must be obeyed. In so much as our political bodies are representative of the will of the majority, then the greater part of the American people desire pro- hibition. Every time the law is violated, it is more sand thrown into the bearings of our social machine and, at this time, there is enough sand clogging up the progress of our nation. 'Now is the time to effect a cure of this evil and the best remedy is the educa- tion of the unheeding few to the fact that an individual cannot act but for the general advancement of the group to which he belongs. There are two methods to insure this remedy and the first is the present system of spending enormous sums to protect us from the bootleggers who swarm near our shores. The trouble is that the greatest menace is from within and the net result of these expenditures is a great deficit which must be carried by the American citizen. This method is unsuccessful, impracticable, unbusiness- like and un-American. ' Page Twent y-seven Iii .

Let it ring from all pulpit-s, all newspapersg let radio proclaim it throughout our land.

HS1r4 I The Pestilence That W alketh in Darkness or Sociczlignorancitis OME of us are suffering and know it not and Where ignorance is folly 'tis bliss to be wise. Suffering from what? you ask. It's as new and aslold as pediculosis twhich also has something to do with the headl. May we acquaint you with the germ ego which is the cause of this very communicable, contagious, transmissible, pestilential, infectious, and seemingly incurable disease which has often undermined our school affairs which on the surface seem to be such successes, so that our basketball games are sometimes as well attended as a street game of marbles, and our dance floors often become a well attended parking ground for clothes trees fundancing machines which need more than a crank to start theml, and strangers within our gates are as unwelcome as Thanksgiving is -to a barnyard. The symptoms of this disease are easily recognized. Some of the outstand- ing ones arc: lack of stzool spirit, unpaid dues, frequent complaints ttimc, timc, time!! work!!!!, lack of co-operation, egotism resulting in extreme unfriendli- ness, snobbishness and sensitiveness. Why go to a dance if you are not going to make those about you happier for your being there? Why go anywhere? Our school, on the whole, is fairly free from any serious symptoms, but we see occa- sional outbreaks, which may easily be contracted' by others. Let this serve as a warning. Heed it and prolong the illustrious life of our school. An ounce of Prevention is worth a pound of Cure. Now you know the symptoms and results of the outbreaks of this impending epidemic, on the school. Behold the results in yourselves, poor afflicted ones! Consult your mirrors or look into your hearts. Are you happy? Not much. After our brief diagnosis of the case we find that some are suffering from Socialignorancitis. That is what causes family feuds, friends to be estranged, hard feeling, intolerance and unhappiness. That is what makes some of our dances and parties failures, instead of successes and pleasures. Social Ignorance! Now that we have diagnosed the case for you let us also write out a practical prescription for you poor afflicted ones and send a ray of hope and encourage- ment into your lives. ., We have many pills to offer-well, the more the merrier, happier, and nearer to health Take whichever pill you need. You may take all-they won't hurt. you and we promise that they won't all be sugar-coated either, but oh, the after- taste-joy! The first pill we have to offer is the secret of happiness-service. Accept the joy of giving and extending blessings to others. Take it. It is yours. We Page Twenty-nine l -t LQ l WW ' 3 IH rllilltllhlfl llgllia have but to look within our own school to see results of service. We are proud of our school, its curriculum, its organizations, its activities and its faculty. Without our teachers, who are the spirit of service itself, would our school be such a success? Would it have its present reputation? Three cheers for our faculty l ! ! No one is too busy to be of service to his school. Anyone suffering from bizziness get down from its heights. The busiest man is he who can always find time to do more. Courtesy is like an air cushion-nothing to it but it eases the jolts. Along with service take a dose of courtesy. It's a great lubricant and aids in the diges- tion of life's experiences. To those suffering from sensitiveness we advise to dose up until you're sat- urated With a good tonic of humor and to undergo an operation for egotism. What more egotistic remark is there than, UI Wonlt do it, they're always laughing at me? VVe have heard it so oft-en. The poor conceited souls who utter such remarks really think they are funny enough to be laughed at. Such talent should be appreciated and well paid. VVe are nothing but half-portioned atoms anyway in comparison with the size of the universe. All the above pills we have recommended are guaranteed' to improve the con- dition of your liven Life joy. VVith sincerest Wishes for a speedy and permanent recovery and congratula- tions to those immune to this disease and who have set our High School's standard high and distinguished it from the rest, we leave this in your hands.

For nearly one thousand years the university was for only the select few. The plain people had no lot or part or interest or opportunity in its advantages. The medieval foundation which is the ancestor of the modern college was for the benefit of only a fraction of the population. Originally it was only for the church. The university in Europe has about it- the medieval flavor. It is not a school of the people. It is still an institution for the classes, and not for the masses. There are nearly four hundred colleges in the United States today, and their number evidences the aspirations of the farm and the workshop for a higher education for their boys and girls. This rapid evolution of the university toward popular ideas and popular bases in our country has made acute the question whether our education should be specifically for the pursuit which the student has selected as his vocation, or whether upon ancient and tried lines it should develop him first by discipline, by training and by teaching to the full growth and command of all his faculties, and then let him select his pursuit. The high school in its four years of discipline, training, teaching and devel- opment makes the boy the man. His Latin and his French, his science, his history, and his mathematics have little or nothing to do with law or medicine, and still less to do with manufacturing, or mining, or storekeeping. But they have given to the youth when he has graduated a slight command of that superb intelligence with which God has endowed him, by which for the purpose of a living or a fortune he grasps his profession or his business and speedily overtakes the boy who, abandoning high school opportunities, gave his narrow life to the narrowing pursuit of the one thing by which he expected to earn a living. Within the home, a high school or college graduate, however humble it may be and how- ever limited his income to support it, has enjoyment among his books and in the grasp and discussions of the questions of the hour, which are denied to the man who has not drunk at or refused to go to the fountain of knowledge and the well- spring of inspiration which flows only in the college and high school. -JOSEPH STANZIALE. Page Thirty-one Ifiarfi ll airriuivi rsrra Carelessness vs. Perseverance OULD that carelessness were less predominant as a trait of human nature and less imbedded in the depths of character! There would be fewer failures in everyday life and a brighter aspect would result. I call upon you seekers of education to defy this ominous creature who has wrought great disappointment in the course of many scholars. It is the student's fault that these failures occur. Isn't. it? You must acknowledge that fact. Carelessness will not grow unless it is fed, well kept, fostered, and encouraged to exist. This infernal creature has been developed into a habit and tends to demoralize the possessor. We also must consider that per- severance and thoroughness can prevail as habit. Why does not a person choose these last mentioned characteristics rather than carelessness? The only evident reason is, that that person is too careless to recognize perseverance. The devel- opment of Will Power would never attract a careless person for there is that hidden resistance which overcomes a rising spirit if there be any. We note what a destructive being is this creature who makes a slave of whomever he grasps. He rages inwardly, never too careless to destroy himself and his objective, but rather bent upon the task of subduing his weaklings. The development of Thoroughness through perseverance would shatter and rend carelessness to tatters. A desperate resolution would assail and destroy the demon and oppressor of human intelligence. Failures are due to carelessness, disappointments and defeats are the achievements of this creature. Not until we institute, cultivate, inspire, and engender will power and perseverance can this enemy of Education be destroyed. Careless citizens are detrimental to a community and to the democracy. This country is in quest of capable and responsible citizens who tend to strengthen this government nat-ionalistically. Will-power cultivates an active and creative community which surpasses a stagnant populace. When it is your duty, under-classmen, to uphold your school and become accountable citizens and active members of this modern civilization you must bear the standard and uphold it, you must develop a habit which will constitute Perseverance and Thoroughness. -ANGELO L. GIOGGIA. Page Thirty-two ll-Maaracar rsra I W herejbre Music ? HROUGHOUT the entire country, in all our schools, there is a certain por- tion of the day's program devoted to music. I, personally, think that the students in the primary and secondary schools of the country do not fully appreciate the opportunities that are being given to them in this branch of education-. It Would' be well if the objective in musical education was fully realized by many who have within their curriculum the study of music. All ought to know that one means by which many people of the-world obtain the greatest amount of pleasure is listening to music or furnishing others with it. So, since this is one of the principal means of procuring our pleasures and in spending our hours of leisure, it would be to our advantage to have a thorough knowledge of the technique of music, so that we may enjoy in a greater degree, the musical classics of the past and of the present day and also the lighter productions of former and recent days. There is no better recreation or pastime than the listening to or playing of music, for it is very soothing to our nerves. This rapidly moving world demands from its people a great amount of energy. This generation fears that its nerves will not be able to endure the strain. So, we might in this way aid the nerves in being prepared to encounter or meet the demands that are almost continuously being made of them. Many times pupils have asked, Why do we have musical clubs in our higik school? Surely, these clubs are not organized for a waste of time nor to make Carusos or Galli-Curcis of the members, but, to teach them a proper appreciation of this great art, music. It is consoling to think that America especially sees the need for teaching its younger generation music, for it is taught not only in the high schools but also in elementary schools, universities, and colleges. It may be worth while to know that the practice of music has never been so universal as at the present day and within recent years the standard of amateur ability has reached a high degree of excellence. -RENO LAVINO.

Three days, muttered Ray, and to-day at two o'clock Clifford will play the biggest game of the season with Lansing. They'll need me out there and no silly doctor's orders can keep me from playing! He glanced at his watch which showed quarter of two, jumped from bed and dressed quickly. He grasped the door knob but the door was firmly locked. t'They surely mean to keep me in, Ray work which was still undone but, neverthe- less, you agreed with everything your visi- tor said.

What shameful deed has this King of the Universe perpetrated that he should be compelled to hide behind inferiors? The very sky mourns the loss of its ruler, for the celestial blue is swiftly turning to inky blackness. How dark it has become! How silent! The wind has stopped growling.

He offered me eight dollars a week. Eight dollars a week! I said in amazement. t'What do you think I am, a college graduate? -ARTHUR VOSKIAN. .NW 7, f .55 IH-sataztiriitflyil asiiis Stretching the Long Bow AM going to propose my friend, Miles Argent, for membership in the Ananias Club. Of course. you have heard of that famous organization of which Baron Munchausen has been the star member for such a long time. That is, he had been so up to the present but according to all reports, Miles is a fitting occupant for the position. n . Here is the tale he told one evening at the club, when he was asked about his early life: When I was a youngster, I lived out West. My father owned an immense herd of cattle and as soon as I was able to guide a pony, he set me watching part of the herd. As a result of my outdoor work, my eyesight became so keen that I could distinguish a fly with the mumps. My strength was so great that I could smash an egg held upright in my hand and if you don't believe that that requires strength, just try itg but I became espe- cially proficient in the use of the lasso. Indeed. my favorite morning exercise con- sisted of lassoing an immense tree and pulling the tree out with my teeth. Still, that is not what I want to tell you about. One moming while out on a winter, I stopped on top of a ridge. I looked westward. in the direction of the neighboring ranch which was fifty mile away. To my horror I saw a wild looking man lighting the fuse of an immense bomb which would surely destroy the ranch house and all its occupants. Looking around for some way to warn or save the ranch, I noticed a hook on the ranch-house wall. It was such a hook as housewives use to hold their wash lines. Here was the solu- tion of my problem. Taking out my fifty foot. lasso, I threw it with such strength that it stretched the necessary fifty miles and caught onto the hook. Placing a pul- ley on my end which I had attached to a tree, I grasped hold of the pulley and in the twinkling of an eye, I slid the fifty miles. ' By this time the fuse of the bomb was burning merrily and the bearded one had moved to one side preparatory to escaping in his airnlane. Seeing me coming, he pulled out his rifle but I had already landed and stamped on the burning fuse. By the time I turned to confront him. his finger was on the trigger and in an instant I should be dead. Though in the face of such terrible danger, I kept cool. Groping in my pocket for a revolver, my fingers found a piece of mirror. Here was my chance for escape. 'Flashing the mirror in the sunlight, I caught hold of a light-ray and I was quickly carried high into the skyq Still, quick as I had been, my friend was quicker. With a chance shot he broke the light ray onto which I was holding. With a tremendous crash, I hit the earth near the Colorado River. So great was my fall that I kept on going right through and when I finally stopped I was in China. At least, I guessed that it was China for I saw a Times-Square sightseeing bus there and I knew that they go to Chinatowng so why not China? A cry of rage escaped my lips. 'My enemy must not escape me now.' To my great joy I found a telescope on the shell' of an antique dealer. Taking it, I bent it so as t.o allow for the curvature of the earth. Due to my keen eyesight and the telescope, I soon discovered the bearded one, leaning over the Grand Canyon of the Colorado fwhich I had made in my falll and looking with startled eyes into the hole into which I had disappeared. There was no time to lose. I must get the scoundrel. With one hand I seized an immense balloon and with the other. a fan. The Chinese began to protest and'I berated them with good American oaths. So hot did the air become that my balloon expanded rapidly. Soon it pulled me from my feet and then I put the fan into play. Waving it with tremendous strokes, I cre- ated such a current of air that in less time -than it takes to tell I was back in America and over the Grand Canyon. The villain was still there and after a short struggle, I bound him securely and took him to the police. Later he was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment for attempted arson. . , After taking him to the station house. I went home to eat breakfast. That. friends, was a typical example of my early life but if you think that that is much. let me tell you the story of my brother- But that story was enough for me. I'm sure that you'll agree that Miles Argent deserves membership in the aforementioned order. -Monars SILVER.

Well, this desire for Work was finally real- ized. I had been handed my diploma and told that I was now free, either to go to college, or to find some sort of employ- ment. I chose the latter, for I felt that my brain had accumulated enough knowl- edge for the present.

After further scrutinizing the column I came across an- other: t'Stenographer wantedg must be bright. neat, capable. and intelligent-look- ing: apply 63 Broadway. I could prob- ably get past on the first three require- ments but as to the 'tintelligent-looking part of it I wasn't so sure. However, I would give it a chance. for it was the only ad left. Scissors were gotten and the advertisement cut out. Somehow the am- bitious spirit was gone and in its place there was an uncomfortable feeling of nervousness. I was quite sceptical as to whether I should meet that fourth require- ment. The address given happened to be a large building which seemed to pierce the sky. The office was on the fifth floor. Five flights to climb! Vliell, anyway, I would have time to collect my senses. Up the steps I proceeded, my heart beating Page Forty furiously and my pulses throbbing. The picture of a. boss flashed before me and I saw him as he is often described-big. husky, yet nervouwflying up in the air at the slightest annoyance. I tried to think of the appropriate things to say-yes, I would be willing to work hard and diligently, could take dic- tation at a hundred, etc. What was there to fear? Yet the farther up I got the shakier my knees became. I could hardly walk any more and had all I could do to keep myself from shaking violently. Should I turn back? No, that would never do-I should surely be considered a coward. So I bravely plunged on and at last ar- rived at my destination. On the door was ai sign, VValk-In. Very timidly I did so and entered the demons oflice. I must try to appear calm and dignified, and have a look of intelligence upon my face ffol' that was the fourth requirementb. The boss must think that I was experienced. A girl, of about my own age, asked me what I wished. After I had told her, she left the room but came back presently with Mr. VVinslow, the employer. Now was my chance. Strangely, however, I felt as though it were my funeral. K 'tWell, Miss? I-I-I've come to apply for the posi- tion of stenographer you have vacant - and unable to finish I handed him the clip- ping. IrVll0l'6 was my 'finely prepared speech? He looked at the paper, stared at me as though he were trying to look through me. I surely looked everything but intelligent then, with my blushing face and stammering reply. After he had asked a few more ques- tions I became a little more composed and succeeded in telling him that I could take dictation at a hundred and was willing to work very faithfully. Will you please take a few letters, Miss Smith? Certainly, I replied, Calthough I could not for the life of me see how I would 'D lilmii 'l vi r IL.wz4irHtIM HS1r4 ever be able to writel. I did manage, how- ever, to get the dictation and began tran- scribing my notes, during which time Mr. Winslow sat in a chair staring at me. Funny chills crept up and down my spine -my fingers became slippery and shaky. Oh, there goes an error. Nervously, I proceeded to erase it. Ohl In my hurry I had rubbed a hole through the paper. My heart sank. Quickly another sheet was put in fthe boss watching all the whilei. You who have never had this experience cannot conceive the agonies one goes to the demon and anxiously awaited the verdict. How I ever succeeded in writing is more than I can say. Slowly a smile spread over his face. Was that a sign of approval or just one of amusement at my actions? I was soon to End out. Miss Smith, you may report for work Monday morning. Your salary will be eighteen dollars a week to start. Could I believe my ears? I left the office and this time I saw an elevator in which I de- scended. Before, in my hurry, I had not through, noticed it, but what did it matter now? I Well, now that was done. I handed it had a position. -AMELIA Emir... 'Neaztl ' EXTl' What overwhelming mean- ing that small word contains! You are next in line at the theatre where you have been waiting for half an hour or so. You are so impatient, in fear lest the tickets be sold out before you reach the box office, that when you hear that word 'Next,' what a relieved sigh you breathe. 'Next,' calls the dentist in his stentorian voice. You rise from your seat with quak- ing legs and walk in with a very brave smile. But within you there is mental and physical terror-yes actual terror. You have been chosen as an important character in your class play. It is the event of the season and it is up to you to do well for the sake of your class. You feel your lines slipping very slowly but surely as you stand waiting for your cue. What a tremor goes through you as you realize you are 'next' The big night has arrived. You are occupy- ing a seat on the stage in blissful antici- pation ol' the diploma you are about to receive. How much it meansl Think of all you are leaving behind and of how much you are facing. Ahl You are 'Next.' Can you now imagine a 'Next' that pro- duces a feeling which is a combination of all the examples I have given above? 'Next,' announced the barber. I arose from my seat and walked over to the chair, which reminded me so much of the dentist's chair. I was feeling anything but comfortable for this was going to be my first shave. I felt the amused glances of the loungers following me as I sat down. When the barber gave me a look of inquiry, I blurted out Shave. A laugh fol- lowed this request and as I felt tenderly of the few hairs on my face I thought that perhaps they were rightg I didn't need a shave. Before I had time for further re- flections the barber started to lather my face. When he had done that sufficiently, he lowered the chair and as I lay down I could feel the hot blood creep up and spread over my face. I was blushing like a schoolgirl. It was then that I mentally resolved never again to enter a barber shop. Soon the barber had finished and I was sitting up again. I glanced into the mirror at my powdered face and saw that it didn't look so bad. After all, I reflected. everyone had to pass through this stage at one time or other and with this thought I left the barber shop wherein I had been initiated into the mysteries of shaving. -ADOLPH Asaoixmvirz. Page Forty-one lu errniu rswre Little Brother EAR nie! What a trial little brothers are! Mine is an imp. Mischiev- ous! Loving! Brazcn! Comicall Daring! Adorable! Brother is a bewilder- ing compound of these cliaracteristics. Little brothers should always appear at the wrong moment, that is. to be at their best. One of the most opportune times for entrance is on the evening sister is having a little gathering. To realize the fulfillment of brotherhood and sisterhood such a visit is desirable and necessary. One evening several friends called upon me. We were laughing. jesting, dancing, and doing other things which make an eve- ning jolly when suddenly we heard a sharp, piercing ring followed by many staccato ones. The infant. I cried in dismay. And of course it was. No one else rings in quite that way. He dashed up the stgirsg no, mounted them like an untarned co t. Hullo! His little, dirt-begrimed face beamed a welcome. Needless to say. the girls thought he was just too cute. They always do when the brother isn't their own. They weren't very wrong. No matter how wrinkled his stockings, how smudgy his hands and face, my little brother always wears a certain swaggering dignity. The littlc monkey! I wonder how he acquired it. f'Hey, Nat, kin I have a banana? Of course, this was for my ear alone. Mother had trained him sufficiently for that. VVith his coaxing, little face upturned he was almost irresistible, but not quite. I nobly steeled my heart. You certainly may not. How many times have you been told that bananas are not good for little boys before going to bed? Aw, gee! Jus' because you're seven- teen, you think- The imp didn't finish. Another idea took possession of his keen, little brain. Harold, I know your girl! I know her! With this he grinned wickedly, turned his gleaming. beautiful. teasing eyes slyly upon me and then fled. Ah, well! What are we poor sisters to do? Mothers and fathers simply do not grasp the situation. They are amused or angrily say, You should have more sense. You're the older of the two, aren't you? Dash it! VVe are, but we're martyrs too. -N.ATH.ALIE ZWVEIG. i 5- cp!

In the embrace of amorous moonrays they're sunk In sweet, soothing slumber for hours. 3 The lake. lemon-tinted. a glimmering ghost Sleeps with old memories hidden below. Sweet hymns, but silent, slowly arise. Faint forms, they ascend, in a heaven- bound host In the cool of the moon's pale glow. 4 Sage sleep extends his shadowy hands in the night, Gently hushes the whisperings of low-laugh- ' ing leaves, - Curbs the sighing of a too bold young breezeg For me, clothes each object in a calm, holy light, And a mantle of tranquillity weaves. -MARION Feiran.

It just doesn't seem nice, To be treated like ice, Page Forty-eight With a stare or a glance or a lookg For doesn't he remember, He, too, did cringe in a nook? It doesn't stand to reason, That in all kinds of season, You've got to get out and obey, Each foolish command, Or you'll feel the hand, Of a frater coming your way. They say it's the best, If you stand the test Of a pledgee by doing as told, But when I get in, . I'll kick in the shin, The fraters who treat me so bold. 'There isn't much sense, In all this nonsenseg If they're going to make a frater of me, After my initiation, You'll see no hesitation, In changing this follyg wait and see. BUT When he acquires active membership, He lets all his resolutions slip Him by, and acts as all new fraters dog He mafces them behave, he makes them s ave, And treats them as you'd expect him to. --ADOLPH Aaaoivlovrrz.

In October the Club opened its first meeting with a vim or vigor that has lasted and increased, until it has reached a high peak at the end of the term. The Discussion Club has a Constitution and is run under parliamentary order. The officers of the present term are: ' President ARMAND MILANESE Vice President ANTRANIG ASLANIAN Secretary NATHALIE Zwi-:Io There is a membership committee with Irving Goldberg as chairman. The committee has given promise of unusual activity. It has decided to ask each teacher for the names of the brightest and most capable students, who will then be asked to join us. Before they are finally admitted to membership, the future members spend two weeks on probation. After this period they are voted upon. This system has done admirable work in furnishing new and capable members. The Topic Committee under the guidance of chairman Harry Appel, scours the libraries for suitable topics and sources of information. Topics that are holding the attention and interests of many peoples, governments, and nations of the world, are presented to the Club. These topics have a great educational value and are discussed in such an eloquent manner by the fiery-tongued speakers, that we believe they will some time be classed with the greatest orators of the ages. The Discussion Club serves a two-fold purpose. The first is to give talented and wide-awake students a chance to expression opinions on events of current interest. The second can bc shown by the fact that in 1926, seven out of eight varsity debaters were members of the Discussion Club. The success of making this club second' to none in our school is due to the efforts of our Faculty Advisor, Mr. Phelps. He has given much time, labor, and effort toward this end. In fact the name of the Club cannot be mentioned without associating with it the name of its founder, Mr. Phelps. It is under his able direction that the Club has been able to carry out its aims: 1. To stimulate interest in current subjects of national and international importance. Page Forty-nine 'MW' vi-J 'Urn ' Af' .lx 'Q ' ,,'.f' E9 lu Qmmibw HST4 my yxgiyl M. . 2.

Pugv Fijly-mu' 'WW lb aiaiioivi rsfir- The Football Team ELL, fellow fans, there is one thing I can say about our Football Team, and that is the fact that it is the luckiest team in the world, but all its luck is bad luck. To begin with, almost all last year's material was null and void due to graduation, ineligibility because of failure in studies and injuries. Our coach, Mr. Golden, had exactly three regulars around which to build a team. After several weeks of extremely stiff drill, he sent eleven practically green men in to oppose Battin, our first opponent. Battin, a powerful aggregation from Elizabeth, completely overran our t'green youngsters to the tune of 27-0. Our extremely light warriors fought gallantly, but the greater experience and weight of Battin was too much for them. Cur next tilt was with Clifton. Last year we defeated Cliftong so this year we were very anxious to repeat, while Clifton was out to prevent it. The game was hotly contested, but lack of weight- and experience again told on West New York and Clifton came out on top, 7-0. Then came the Newton game. It will be remembered that last year Newton gave us a sound trouncing. This year we were out to avenge the defeat. There was plenty of action, but bad breaks for West New York allowed Newton to score 13 points while we acquired a zero. And' the Lincoln game! What a game! The papers declared that if Lincoln Worked true to form she should roll up from 40 to 50 points. It certainly looked as if the papers were right, for in the first few minutes of the game Lincoln scored a touchdown but could not add the extra point. Then our lightweights, evi- dently greatly provoked at Lincolnts greediness, tore loose a furious attack, and for the next three quarters they played Lincoln ragged. Never once, after that first touchdown, did Lincoln get anywhere near our line. But, alas and alack, although we had the ball very near their line we lacked' the punch to score. As I said before, West New York has plenty of luck, only it's hard luck. Anyway, we came out on the underside of a 6-0 score. And then we tackled Emerson! After our great showing against Lincoln we had high hopes of trampling Emerson underfoot. But the field was muddy, and the team was a little off form, Emerson Won, 14-0. Union Hill, our old rival, now loomed before us. We expected to give them a good Hght. Union had won six games consecutively, and so they were the favorites. Well, they won, 25-0. Our boys fought hard and once had the ball on Union's 2 foot line, but mud and lack of weight lost for us. Page Fifty-two lmfs ll swzsriiiisii rswrs I Grrr!!! East Side, Paterson! Last year East Side beat us, 7-6, with the aid of fourteen men-eleven on the team, the field judge, referee, and umpire. This year we wanted blood. Our boys were going to win or die doing. They out- weighed us 40 to 50 pounds to the man, but did we make them run!!! Oh, boy, it was a pleasure to see our little fellows pushing those big fellows over. But again West New York's jinx came to the fore and Paterson scored in the follow- ing manner: They tried a forward on our twenty yard line. Klein made a great jump and deflected the ball, which accidentally hit one of the East Side men. He was more surprised than anyone, but, never-the-less, he clasped it to his bosom and fell over the line for a touchdown. The kick was successful, and they won, 7-0. Our next game, against St. Cecelia, a second-class outfit, ended with the score standing 13-6 in our favor. Many of our regulars did not play in this game. Now let's look at the last game of our season, with Cliffside furnishing t-he opposition. Last year we defeated them, and this year we were determined to repeat the victory, Cliffside's determination naturally flowed in the opposite: direction. For three quarters we played Cliffside off their feet, but in the last' stanza they scored on a fumble. We couldn't tally, and at- the end of the game the score stood 6-0. Bill Rinaldi, Horsemeat Sarkisian, and Dave Klein played a fine game all season. Sark and Bill furnished the holes for Klein to go through and also broke up many of t-he opposing team's line plays. Thus, West New York closed a season of bad' breaks and general hard luck. The hardest part to swallow is the fact that we actually outplayed most of our adversaries, but our jinx refused to let us win. -JOHN BRACKETT -ARMAND MILANESE Page Fifty-three t 1, --.H Q I B. ID 4llillLlNl HST4 Baseball HORTLY after the elose of the basket bull Season the Spotlight of zithletie endeavor turned toward bzxsebzill. Of last ye:ir's veterans only :1 few turned out. They were Diek Hztehzt- doorizxn, Johnny Cendo, Bendlin, Giztrdinzt, and Bell. Quite 21 few new players c-:une out, and with this 1IlZit0l'I2ll Cozieli Roop was able to fashion at fairly good teznn. BASEBALL TEAM The first game was with Einerson High Sehool. Thanks to good batting we won tl1e game, 9-8. However, many of Emerson runs were due to errors on the part- of our players. The next gzune was with Lineoln High :it Jersey City. The hitting of Lin- eoln was nuleh better than West New York's due partly to Brziden, Lineoln's pitehing nee, who held our boys to only one run while they seored four. The next two gannes were played away frfnn home, the tezun traveling first to Nutley where they were bested by the sc-ore, ti-5. The next week they trav- eled out to Elizabeth where they were defeated by linttin High to the time of Page Fifly-fum' IL ,Awe User- 10-7 . The team played well as a whole but errors at critical periods eost us the game. The next game with Newton we won in handy style by the score of 10-6. With the score 6-5 favoring Newton, our players seemed to recover their batting eye and in the ninth inning rapped out five runs winning the game. f Following the Newton game we played our old rival, Union Hill. The heavy Union Hill team slugged their way to a 10-2 victory. Following the Union Hill game we played Bayonne Hill School. This game was another hard' hitting game but our boys managed to come out on top of a 12-10 score. We then played Cliffside. The game was closely contested. A few hunched hits in the early part of the game gave us a slight lead which we maintained dur- ing the remainder of the game. The final score was 4-2 in our favor. The last two games of the season, namely with Ridgewood, and the Faculty resulted in two more victories. In the first game with Ridgewood we came out on top of the fine score of 3-2. The last game of the season with the Faculty was a loosely contested game ending in the score 17-15 favoring the High-School team. Taking into consideration all the troubles encountered in making the team from the material presented I feel that Mr. Roop and the team should be con- gratulated on the fine showing they made. Let us hope that next year's team will make as fine a showing. A -JOHN BRACKETT. Basketball IRECTLY after the end of the football season, Coach Golden issued a call for candidates. About fifty players responded. Among these were Johnny Cendo and Dave Klein of last year's Varsity. Around these two men this year's team was made. Pop Curry, a new player, easily made the pivot posi- tion while George Dederick and Ray Hof cornered the defensive berths. The first game with Cliffside resulted in a victory for our team. The defense played a fine game, not allowing Cliffside to sink one basket. They scored only nine points, all of which were made on fouls. The final score was 28-9 in our favor. The next game was played with St. Michaels of West Hoboken. The greater experience of the players of the West Hoboken School told greatly during the game. They had started their season before most of the other,schools and con- sequently have had more practice. The final score was 22-13. Page Fifty-fire 1,4 .... 'nw' I E?

Lee Golden and Beatrice Beerwald, a last year's substitute, starred for the Eighteenth Streeters. In the second contest against Cliffside High the Orange and Black Spartans again showed their superior form by trouncing the visitors by at 30-21 count.. The third struggle against Emerson, which was won only after a hard fought battle, proved the worthiness of the girls' team. The result of these well earned victories, is that the girls' team deserves the support of the entire school and every student should' feel proud of the fact that such a formidable sextet can be turned out from its midst.

Miss Ross is the director. She is very much inter- ested' inthe class and is continually looking for new ideas and ways- in which to keep the interest of the class fresh. The class meets regularly every day. They have not organized as a club as yet, but expect to do so later. The purpose of creating this class was to increase the student's desire to understand, enjoy, and appreciate drama. The class has been kind enough to supply a large part of the programs for our assemblies. The members are indeed to be complimentedton their splendid work in doing this. The students of the school have been much pleased with the programs. The first play that was given by the class was Rosalie After several other plays, they presented' the second act fro1n 'The Charm School. Another play which they presented certainly deserves a great deal of publicity. The name of it is Seven to One. It was written by some students of ou-r High School, who have now graduated. These students, members of Miss Cleveland's English class, decided to write a play and act it themselves. These enterprising students, under their instructor's direction, reaped much applause at the time of presentation. They sold the play to Samuel French, Publisher, and it is now being sold' and highly recommended by that company. ' The stress of the work of dramatics has thus far been laid upon interpreta- tion, very little being attempted in the way of scenic effect. Later, when we shall have moved to our new High School building with its greater facilities, the dramatics class will be able to experiment with more effective settings. Since those plays already mentioned, the class has presented publicly, Moonshine, by Arthur Hopkins, 'tThe Crystal Gazer, The Doctor in Spite of Himself, a two act comedy by the French dramatist, Moliere,l At the Milli- ner's, and Clare Kumme-r's delightful comedy, The Choir Rehearsal. More power to dramatics in our school! -DOROTHY CHASE.

What more beau- tiful thoughts can be conjured in the minds of any graduate, than at some time he shall be called back to thc fold and live again those precious moments which were his while attending High School? To these ends we are establishing that branch of the Humanist, 4'The Alumni Department. In it, communication is established between the school and the graduate. His 'activities are published and his literary contributions welcomed. This is a worthy innovation. Long life to itl A lumni Notes i RA BOYAJIAN writes that he is to play in a series of concerts at Carnegie Hall. His success is a fine example of just what perseverence and effort will do. I am sports reporter on our college paper and am a candidate for the presi- dency of my class, writes Abe Burke, who at present is attending Georgetown University. We are all very glad' that Mr. Burke is taking a prominent part in school activities and urge him to keep it up. Alma Chase, class of June 1923, has lately ventured into HBig Business. She conducts a Candy Store and Tea Room and thus far owner and business are doing nicely. If possible we should visit her little shop which is located on Forty-eighth Street, Union City. fNot an Adv.l Julius Heller, class of February 1925, is now attending Long Island Medical College. Although the work is very difficult he stands among the first ten of his class in scholarship. Carl La Rose, who is at Trenton Normal School, played Guard for t-he Page Sixty-eight H2125 -v'r W'-ver ll QHILINI HSWT4 football team last year, and has been elected' captain of the team for t-he 1927 season. We all hope that- our Red Grange will continue winning laurels. Andrew Welti plays varsity Baseball, Football, and Basketball for St. Law- rence. Leonard Shuttig is also attending St. Lawrence and the activities of both boys speak exceedingly well for West New York High School. Dorothy Dakers, class of June 1924, is attending The Savage Physical Train- ing Schoolg and will graduate next- year as a qualified Physical Training Instructor. Milton Anastos, at Harvard, is a member of the Previan Sodality Orchestra which is'a noted and very fine Orchestral Society. He is also a candidate for Editorship of the daily HCrimson. Mr. Anast-os is one of the most brilliant scholars West New York has ever had and we expect much of him at college. Many of our Graduates are studying law at various schools: William Tomaso is at New Jersey Law School, Louis Croson at Newark Law School, and Oliver Patri, Roland Goldberg, and Valcenti at Fordham. . fe- 5X l y Ita QI, Page Sixty-nine im.

'--W9 lu- amwi rsiw Class History When first we came to this in-sti-tution, Alone, boo-hoo, all alone-, we shook the tears from our eyes and looked around. We were Freshmen-but to our surprise and wonder, the school, en masse, welcomed us heartily. Hence, being becomingly modest, it did not take us long to discover that we were of some real importance. Accordingly, with renewed spirit, we entered all fields,- inter-class basketball, Student Council, Glee Club, and orchestra-resolved to prove our worth. Just as a starter, our basketball team laid low the mighty Juniors. Gur chests came up, a new light was in our eyes, the light of conquest-. We threw ourselves into the preparation for the operetta, 'fPinafore, with all the effervescence and ebullience of youth. So that on that eventful day the spa- cious auditorium swarmed with an army of some one hundred singers. ' When the autumn came around we gladly welcomed the other half of us, the class of June '27, to our fold. We were naturally a little skeptical about them at first, but when we saw their dose of hazing, You are one of us, quoth we, and opened our brotherly arms. Thus reinforced we resumed our Gurus honorumf' Then came the Sophomore Spread, a treat enticing enough for Epicurus himself. ' The first football team, did you say? Yes, several of us Juniors filled the vulnerable ranks. We were Juniors now! Most of us were happy in all our past attainmentsg however, many of our brethren were cast by the roadside due to the over supply of red ink which the manufacturers send' as complimentary samples and which our benign faculty used wantonly. Sadness was soon drowned in the great sea of excitement and preparation for the most eventful evening-the Junior Prom. As usual we crowded each moment with fun and blissfully snored till twelve the next morning. Now we are nearing the portals of success. We have assumed a new dignity and scholarly demeanor. We now realize that, Life is real, life is earnest, as Longfellow said. Our ,Senior year has been marked by a greater striving than ever before-for are not many of us to go out to face the world? The Senior Reception is the final formal event of our career here. That marks the farewell to our Alma Mater. -A. ASLANIAN. A Page Seventy-three I:iW'5 In QHTUNI H5112 MR. MAXSON MR. WOODWORTH MR.
