A- music editor on Em:pehi staff 45 Glee Chl' 2, 3. 4g interclass basket ball 2. 4: Molly in Sylvia, Pirates of Penzance Dudley in San Toy. You rarely find a comedienne who, like our Ruth. can be wproariously funny and adorably pretty at the same time, We shall probably remember Ruth more often as she looked the night of the opera in that hat and those red stockings, than as she looked con- ducting a class meeting and remonstrating with an apathetic class, There wmust be some discussion! Surely you 4don't Bill want yellow daisies. . A I STUART SINCLAIR- Stu Vice President. Member of Emblem Club: S. Ag Glee Club: football 3, 4: interclass basketball 2, 3g interclass track 2, 3g inter- class baseball 23 Bill Potter in Goowd En- glish Piayg Pirates of Penzance , Li in San Toy. 'ln the vote taken by the Student Associa- tion, Stu was elected the most popular boy in the school, What would 'San Toy have been without Stu's wonderful -personality? 'ln our opinion he completely eclipsed Fred Stone, De Wolf H-oplper, and any other similar lights of past and present prominence. Andover or U. of Michigan MIRIAM BROUGH Secretary 3, 43 G. R. l, 2, 3, 43 editor Once Over 2g Secretary S. A., chairman class night committee, class poem committee: ballet in Pinafore g Em'peror's Own in San Toy. Miriam is one of the most popular girls in the class. She has tact, -discernment, and a delightfully original 'brand of humor, She is one of the few people who can participate freely in school activities and still be a bril- liant and reliable student. Denison GILBERT HOHMAN- Gil Treasurer, Football 2, 3, 4: class basket- ball 2, 3: class track Ig baseball 3, 4, team manager 35 chairman athletics 3, 43 class baseball 3, 43 first lieutenant R. O. T. C.: Emblem Club: S. A.: Clee Club 3, 4g class night committeeg Christmas Pageant: Stan Toy. 'Here we have the Sheik of -Mount Green- wood, whose personality has endeared him to us so much that we rewarded him with the enviable -position of class treasurer and its privilege of extorting by force or strategv what funds he can from these phenomenally imlpecunious seniors. That's all ,right Gil. we 'did it because we like to see you in action. Illinois 8 SUE MECHTERSHEIMER Treasurer Girl Reserve 4, member l, 2, 31 editor Girls' Athletic on Empehi staff 3, 4: Annual Staff 3, 45 S, A.g captain class basket ball team 2. 3, 43 captain school basketball team 2, 3, 45 charge of ticket sales 3, 4. We really ididn't need that Student As- sociation poll to find out that Sue was the most popular girl in the school, because we knew that long ago. It is fortunate that Sue is not delicate, for if she were, she would never stand up under the daily round of salutations she makes or the confidences she listens' to. Sue knows and likes everybody. which is the reason for her -popularity. American College of Physical Education HAROLD BURNS Secretary-Treasurer of Emblem Club: S. A.: class tracks 2, 3, 43 school track 23 class baseball 3 fmanagerjg captain baseball team 45 baseball 2. Harold is that type of boy whom few girls get to know very well, but all boys know and like immensely. Wie think it is really too bad that more of us could not have enjoyed his quiet humor, or become inspired by his wonderful school spirit. LOUISE CREW Member of Student Association: Clee Club 49 solo dancer in San Toy. Two years ago Louise came to us from Hyde Park. We soon discovered that she is a delightfully charming girl, frank and un- assuming, and that she dances like a fairy. Her assistance in our -musical productions of the past two years has been invaluable. ROBERT BLEW-- Bob -- Red Debating Club 4g Student Association.

Committee: Jessica Price .Alice Courtney Stuart Sinclair Dramatis Personae: Clio, Muse of History, Alice Courtney. Father Time, confidant to Clio, David Gillespie. Scene: A more or less secluded spot in the Garden of the Gods, on Mount Olympus. In the center of the stage is a backless bench of classic designg to the left front is a similar bench. As the curtain rises, Clio is seated on the center bench in an attitude of deep meditation. Father Time enters right and passes back of Clio as if going out left. About to go off stage he glances back at Clio. Noting her attitude he stops, looking at her quizzically. then he comes forward and sits down on the other bench. Father Time: fwith rather elaborate mock-seriousness, Well, Clio. what is on your mind? 27 Clio: ftroubledf lt's the History of the Class of Nineteen Twenty- Three, Morgan Park High School, H043 Hermosa Avenue, Chicago, Illinois, William Schoch, principal. I-I can't do anything with it. I don't seem to be able to go about it properly. Father Time: ffacetiouslyl Why Clio, I though you had a rubber stamp or something of the sort out on these class histories, and used the same thing every year, just changing the names and the dates. Something like this, you know: lt was a terror-stricken group of little green things that timidly entered high school that first bright morning, their knees shaking and their teeth chattering in thefr heads. And as they stood huddled in despon- dent groups .... A ' Clio: fShe listened at firstwwith mild surprise and then broke into sup- pressed laughterj No! No! Father Time. Not this year! Not for this class! This is going to be entirely different, an innovation in the way of class histories. This-why this is an exceptional class, flrather Time grunts skepticallyj a remarkable exceptional class-fshe breaks off with a faraway look in her eyes., Father Time: fSlowly, ponderously, as if delivering an obiter dictum, ln the dark, dim prehistoric past there may have been a class that entered high school with fear and tremblfngn but this class certainly did not. fl-le chuckles reminiscentlyj Why, d' you remember, they were only in school a couple of months when .... Clio: fanticipating hfml Sh-there are some things better left unmen- tioned. Father Time: fdrilyl I suppose so, especially in the record of an ex- ceptional class. But at any rate, I stoutly affirm that this class did not enter high school with fear and trembling. fl-le says this last sentence as if eager to provoke argumentl. Clio: Qplacativelyj Certainly not! This, as we have mentioned before, is an exceptional class. Father Time: fstill argumentative, But Clio, that's not such a new idea in class histories. Every once in a while, in fact, at surprisingly frequent intervals you have recorded the annals of an exceptional class. - Clio: fdoubtfullyj Perhaps, but not like this one. This class admits its own distinctiveness. After due cogitation any member of it will testify, will feel conscientiously called upon to testify to its exceptionality. I myself feel justified in calling it a unique class. Father Time: You tell 'em. I'll bet if you had been on the platform during a class meeting you would have heard the president saying to the secretary, Oh my, what a class! Wlrat a class! Clio: fShe suppressefsta' smile, meditates deeply for a minute and then proceeds in rather an oratorlcal strafnj There wias something about this class, so indefinable, so rarely found elsewhere, that it seems impossible to chronicle it properly. To record that they did thus and sb, that certain people 28 were elected to certain offices, and all that sort of thing seems trivial, inane. futile. And to describe them as entering high school quaking and dhivering would certainly be silly. No, they were anything but that,-little girls .with pig-tails, little boys in short trousers, cock-sure, impertinent, pugnacious, in- quisitive little imps, and very receptive. They studied hard, making good grades, and although they participated in school activities enthusiastically, they formed no organization of their own that year. They were too busy getting acquainted with their surroundings, and with each other, coming as they did, from five different grammar schools. In the sophomore year the class was organized, and they effected a com- promise in electing officers that were both capable and popular. They gave a dance to raise funds, and these funds were used to defray an unforeseen expense perpetrated bv a certain red-haired gentleman who already held a firmly established position of joy and light to his classmates and of horror to his teachers. The spirit that I have spoken of so glowingly was rapidly maturing dur- ing these two years, and in the third year it had become increasingly manifest. ln fact, by this time the class of twenty-three, now the junior class, had be- come the foremost in the school. They had successfully invaded everything. They had ten men on the football team: they won the interclass indoor base- ball championship, and defeated the faculty team. which was in itself a feat. They were well represented in other branches of athletics and in clubs and organizations. Two of the officers in the Students' Association were held bv juniors and several juniors had important parts in the opera. They finish- ed the year with the annual dinner that is usually given to the seniors by the juniors. This one, given to the class of '22 by the class of '23 was the most successful of any that had preceded it. No one who vwtas there will ever forget the riot of color that dominated the ordinarily drab lunch-room, with the gay balloons and strings of confetti that hung from the ceiling. They will have a lasting impression of how lovely the girls looked, how handsome all the boys were, the scintillating repartee that passed across the tables, the music, the speeches-- i Father Time: Don't forget about the menu. And do you remember how the balloons and confetti tumbled down on them as they went out and the girls all scrambled for balloons to match their dressesr? Clio: I rather abruptly, as if having been suddenly iaroused from con- templation of the picture she has been paintingl In the' senior year came the culmination, the full maturity of this unique spirit, this ideal of fun- loving democracy with which the class was so closely united. In addition to that, there came an ebullience. fostered by the realization that they were the seniors, the pride Hof the school. looked up to, envied, commented upon, admired and imitated: for every individual senior is in himself a celebrity to the gaping lower-classman. It was in the last semester that the seniors began to ap- preciate more fully the pure delight of the situation, and inner voices said to 29 every member of the class of twenty-three, This is your last semester! Make the most of it! That is why the seniors have had so much to say to one another, in the halls, on entering class, in the division room and in the study hall. The teachers were obliged to reprimand them frequently, but no doubt they laughed up their sleeves as they did so, at the fervor, the vehemence which the seniors were anxiously pouring into every remaining moment of their school lives. They were infusing this spirit into everything they did, making every little issue a subject for serious, heated, and voluble discussion. Father Time: Don't forget about civics, the debates, room 404 in the Sherman House, and the man on horseback. No matter how exceptional the class is you can't leave that out. Clio: Of course, I suppose they debated on the same old subjects, but I am sure that they treated them in a manner entirely new and ingenious. As I was saying, every little event provoked an enormous amount of comment- discourse that seemed absolutely necessary in spite of the conviction of certain teachers to the contrary. Father Time: Yes, the presidential election last fall, and then later, the photographeris proofs and the questionnaires. Clio: Ah yes, the last is but another striking instance of the originality of this class. The old form of questionnaire that had been in use for the past decade or so was denounced as inadequate and a new one was devised by a couple of their cleverest girls, with the result that a large portion of the class developed insomnia. f Father Time grunts expressivelyj. Clio: Well, much as they had to say, they were often inarticulate, so over-flowing were they with the joy of living. But even when, suddenly con- science-stricken perhaps, they hurried to classes without stopping to talk, they looked at one another with eyes that said, Aren't you glad you're alive? Isn't it fun to be a senior? And when, silenced in the study hall, they lifted their heads from their books to gaze out of the windows, from whence blew beguiling spring breezes, of wihat were they thinking? The future? Perhaps, but more likely tlte present, and how good it was to live. And thus contem- plating life, no wonder it was hard to turn from the fascinating skyline form- ed by the portable roofs and chimneys and the mosaic of feathery green elms against a turquoise blue sky, to a thick old book telling about the French Revolution and other events of negligible importance. However, the hardest lesson that twenty-three had to learn was that one cannot be a senior forever: that the time allotted to that delicious experience is short, very short. They count the weeks, the days, and June is here. At last the seniors are repressed, chastened, and subdued, as with expectancy, sparkling eyes, and pink cheeks, they march up to get their diplomas. Their high school careers are finished: they have completed the required course of study. But is that all? What of those who have so patiently, so kindly, and so expertly guided them and taught them not only problems in mathematics, the structure of languages, deeds of earlier men, and laws of nature, but have directed them to ends worth striving for and means worthy of them: have 30 shown them the beautiful, distracting them from the sordidg have shown them how to live with one-another, suppressing petty dislikes and foolish ambitions: have provided a wholesome discipline and a comfortable restrantg in short, have moulded and shaped their characters for contact wfth the world. So it will be with a mute thanksgiving for an eternal indebtedness to these friends and companions-their teachers, and a fleeting regret for an irrevocable past that the eyes of the seniors will glisten with an added sparkle after Com- mencement. A TRIBUTE From the Seniors to M. P. High O Empehi! Our alma mater! With one accord we sing thy praise! Thy name and fame we'll cherish ever To thee, in love, our voices raise! O Empehi!

Upon the prospective Checker Club, which we trust will soon be formed, we do inflict, wth profound humiliation of spirit, Richard Preston's black and white checked shirt, such shirt to be worn by the successive pres- idents of the Senior class upon the anniversary of our decease. May it be preserved in moth-balls for many years to come! - II. l. To Mr. Sehoch and to the Faculty, who have been not only our teachers but our friends and comrades as well: who have patiently gu'ded our stumbling feet over the rough places, have admonished and counselled and verbally chastised us when chastisement seemed good for our souls, who during the past four years have been interested alike in our work and in our frolic and fun, we do leave our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation. 32 2 To Mr. Thompson, with loud wailing and lamentation, we do give a Carrara marble monument for the musical mouse.

H. '23 39 COMMERCIAL CLASS HISTORY, 1923 One bright, sunny day in the early fall some two years ago, a group of energetic, light-hearted freshmen entered our halls of llearning. iThey were soon embarked upon their high school career. I say embarked , because after a few months of so-called study, the majority found themselves com- pletely at sea. However, they soon adapted themselves to the conditions in the school and quickly acquired the true M. P. H. S. spirit. Although many of the prominent ufreshiesn of our class fell victims to the ferocious and barbaric insolence of the ruthless seniors, they survived the cruel treatment without serious effects. But revenge was ours. We had our turn in enter- taining the innocent freshmen who succeeded us. While we were freshmen, the class, which was an unusually large one. was divided into two groups, one half being assigned to Miss Monsch in Room 205 and the other half to Mr. Calkins in Room 202. Not much of interest occurred during our first semester except the regular school activities. Occasionally we forgot our dignity and became rough and riotous and sociable during class hours. The second semester found us a more intelligent-looking group, decid- ed contrast to the preceding semester. For the accomplishment of this truly great feat we owe a vote of thanks to our teachers, Mr. Blomquist and Mr. Calkins, who exerted themselves unceasingly to increase our intellectual powers and to improve our behavior. We soon became quite adept in steno- graphy and in the use of the typewriter. We took an active interest in the Empehi, establishing the Commercial Corner. It is hoped that succeeding classes will follow our example and maintain a definite department in the school paper. During the third semester we became greatly interested in shorthand and typewriting and worked untiringly on these subjects. Our group gave a Kid party for the girls who were graduated from the commercial course in February and all enjoyed themselves. The girls were dressed as children and brought dolls and other playthings with them to add to the fun. In this semester we presented most successfully a little play, Hiring a Steno- grapherf' written by Mr. Calkins. During the last semester at M. P. High we worked unceasingly on the typewriter until we had acquired a practicable speed and succeeded also in making stenography come naturally to us. We chose a class day committee consisting of Florence Heino, Ellen Schlagel, and Irma Siegert, to arrange for our part in the general class day program. We feel that our course has been indeed a profitable one and that, if we do justice to the training received under our able instructors, we cannot fail to succeed in our chosen careers. i The Commercial Class of i923 wishes to take this opportunity to thank 46 i j its teachers and the members of the faculty in general for the help which they have so generously given to us.

Ellen Schlagel COMMERCIAL CLASS WILL We, the Commercial Class of I923, of the High School of Morgan Park in the City of Chicago, County of Cook and State of Illinois, being of sound mind and memory and realizing the uncertainty of business life, do make and declare this to be our last will and testament as follows: By the disappearance into the future of the class of I9Z2 we were be- queathed a legacy which it is our wish and desire to divide equally, share and share alike, among the students of the class of 1923, the all-seeing Miss Howe, and our sunny department head, Mr. Calkins. To the Faculty : ' To Mr. Calkins we leave the wishes for a tamer and less jolly division than he had with us, the pompous 2A,'s, and also hope that the quiet students in all his classes will not try to study, as we did, without books. To Miss Howe, we do bequeath a highly sensitive device which will detect, through the sense of smell, forbidden erasures on type-written copies. To the 2B Students: We hereby bequeath the best text books, the locker space, and our corl dial wishes for a prosperous class. To Helen Trotter, we do bequeath the deep solemnfty of Ellen Schlagel, who might some day laugh out loud in class. To Dorothy Wemlinger, we do bequeath a few of Bernice Leonard's surplus inches. ' Wve do appoint our teacher, Mr, Calkins, our sole executor to carry out our wishes in this, our last will and testament, as witness our hand and seal this 29th day of june, l923.

One summer day as I was walking through a hot street in India, looking for curios, I noticed an odd little shop with many curiously-carved old weapons and idols in the window. Thinking that I might find something un- usual to take to my friends, I entered. Upon gazing about the shop, I happened to glance at a large crystal. As I looked. the crystal changed color slowly and I saw the Commercial Class of l923 appear one by one. Interested and amazed I stood rooted to the spot. As the crystal changed to a deep violet, I sawi Berneice Leonard as a renowned artist's model. Many an artist had become famous by painting her picture on the canvas. The crystal dimmed and then flared and I saw Ellen Schlagel standing at the corner of a crowded street, playing an accordion and begging for pennies. Gradually the crystal changed to a vivid blue and I saw Lillian Mar- quist as a world-famous toe-dancer. A large spot-light played on her, and I wanted to see her finish the dance, but the crystal dimmed and changed slowly to a brilliant red. In the center of an arena was Florence Heino madly engaged in fighting a ferocious bull. In the grand-stand I noticed several members of the Spanish royalty enthusiastically applauding the champion bull-fighter. She killed the bull and smiled triumphantly up at the royal box. Then the queen tossed a mammoth bouquet of red roses into the arena. The picture changed, and I saw Margaret Alm singing on the stage, to a large audience. As she finished her song, she was showered with flowers from her many admirers. Now the color changed to pale yellow and there I saw Aideline Bonow garbed in a brown gymnasium outfit, teaching Hawaiians, young and old. all the American sports. Now the color changed to a bright green and revealed to me Esther Farmer as a waitress in a Chicago restaurant. She seemed to be happy as she skilfully balanced her tray. The crystal changed again to a deep rose and I saw my classmate, Irma Siegert, as the happy wife of Deacon Buckwheat. She was the successful proprietor of Pinkerville's only tea-shop. Then the crystal turned pure white and I saw no more The wrinkled old Hindu shop-keeper came to me and I bought the magic gazing crystal which promised me many interesting hours. Berneice Leonard William Marlinka 42 X 1 L . .EW 1 4 H x, THE STUDENT ASSOCIATION The past year has been marked by most gratifying results for the Student Association. The annual election of officers in September returned Virginia Sinclair for president, Arthur Schampel for vice-president, and Betty Cooke for secretary. Immediately afterwards, a membership drive was started and through the co-operation of the entire student body and faculty, by the end of October every pupil in the high school had joined the Student Association. Civic and social committees were appointed, the former with Richard Sanders as chairman and Miss Mackin as faculty advisorg the latter with Florence Byerly as chairman and Miss Petty as faculty advisor. Reassured by the co-operation of every student in the school, the organ- ization began earnest work toward improving Morgan Park High. To arouse the school spirit which had been dormant during the summer, attention was centered upon athletics. Rallies and pep meetings were held regularly to encourage attendance at games, and, as a most pleasing result, all athletics have been loyally supported throughout the entire year. The social committee has done much to promote a closer bond between the various classes. A series of social hours was begun in September, and these parties were well attended until opera rehearsals during March and April necessitated discontinuing them. There have been more social events this year than ever before, and we feel sure that the committee has been repaid for its work by the appreciation expressed in the unusually large at-- tendance. Each week assemblies for upper and lower classmen, alternately, were held and varied and interesting programs prepared by the different division rooms were given. In November a clever. entertaining Good English play, written by the English classes, was presented for the benefit of the S. A. and scored a big success. Undoubtedly the most important event of the year was the opera San Toy presented at the Aryan Grotto Temple, April 28 under the auspices of the S. A. The pronounced success of the opera was due not only to the faithful work of the cast and chorus but especially to the efficient musical and dramatic training under Mr. Thompson and Miss Mackin, and to the artistic ability of Miss Hays and Miss Hotchkiss. The civic committee, too, has done splendid work. Although the chief aim of the Student Association as a whole is student government, the com- mittee took for its particular purpose the improvement of conditions in the high school, in order that at some future time the school might be run on a basis of student government. The committee worked steadily and faith- fully throughout the year. First a locker inspection covering several days was conducted in order to train the student body in habits of orderliness and tidiness. In February, the committee was reorganized on the basis of one representative from each division, thus enabling the committee to cope more successfully with the problems of individual rooms. It is the ultimate aim of the Student Association to effect an organization 44' of all student activities and to carry on these activities with a minimum of faculty supervision. When this aim has been achieved, the Student Association hopes to be able to edit a bi-monthly and possibly later a weekly, and through such an agency, allied to student government, to foster such a fine school spirit, that, upon entering school, a freshman will voluntarily become a mem- ber and through an initiation ceremony and the payment of a fee wiill be en- titled to attend all school functions. The greatest force in school life is the impetus which comes from within the student body itself. When every pupil rn school is made to feel his individual responsibility-that his school is what he helps to make it, no more and no less-then we shall have reached the one solution of practically all of the problems of high-school life. THE HI-Y CLUB The Hi-Y Club has had rather an inactive season this year, due per- haps to a small and slightly unenterprising membership. Several of our valuable boosters graduated last june, seriously depleting our ranks and until late this spring we had been selecting our members through an advisory group and so were slow in developrntent. Finding that our influence was not suf- ficiently wide-spread, we decided to dispense with this method, and the mem- bership is now open to all boys. We have a roll of about thirty boys at present, and a group of five men helping us. We hope to have a more active season next year. We have several extensive plans under way for the promotion of our 4 C's endeavor Cclean speech, clean scholarship, clean living, and clean athleticsl. We believe that we already have made our clean scholarship ideal felt in the school, and we hope to accomplish much more next year. At a recent meet- ing we have had discussions of school problems, such as Playing Square, Cheating in Exams, The Value of Clean Athletics, and occasionally we have had some visiting speakers. The annual football banquet, usually given by the l-li-Y Club with the assistance of the Alumni Association. has become an institution. This year the banquet was given on the last Thursday in December at the Morgan Park Methodist-Episcopal Church. An excellent menu prepared by the women of the church, was served by the Girl Reserves. A delightfully in- formal spirft pervaded the occasion, and the program was very entertaining. Coach Thistlewaite, of Northwestern University gave the main speech of the evening. Later Mr. Davenport presented the emblems to the members of the football team, and even they enjoyed themselves after they had re- covered from their embarrassment. The officers for this year were as follows: President .................... Paul Clissold Vice-President . . . . . . Robert Gillespie Secretary .... . . . Arthur Fremouw Treasurer . . . . . . . . Hartley Laycock 45 CS l Reserv L3 THE GIRL RESERVES This year has been a most successful one for the Girl Reserves from the standpoints both of membership and of activity. The club has had over one hundred members each semester, and of that number very fewg were inactive. Because the purpose of the club is To live not for ourselves alone, but for the whole world, it has been interested chiefly in social service work. The girls dressed dolls at Christmas for the Home for the Friendless, made scrap books for a day nursery back of the yards . and filled Easter baskets for the ex-soldiers at Drexel Hospital and Oak Forest. It was under their auspices that 55176.96 was raised for the American Legion at the beginning of the year. A milk fund was established toward the end of the semester, and from the pennies dropped into the box familiar to all, milk bills for several families will be paid. Every Girl Reserve strives toward one goal---the winning of a Girl Reserve honor ring. These rings are special rewards to girls who have the true Girl Reserve spirit, who seem to live up to its motto, code, and purpose in their everyday lives, and who show a marked loyalty to their club. This year, rings were awtarclecl to Clara Deadman, Sue Mechtersheimer, Ruth Roberts, Elizabeth Kendig, Margaret Hedges, Beatrice Bloclgett, Rosalie Kerr, and Esther Jaynesg last year, to Helen Laycock, Lois Dangremond, and Florence Stewart. Our club is a member of the Inter-Club Council, which has as its mem- bers the officers and committee-chairmen of each club in the city. Much of the success of this club is due to its cooperation with other clubs, made possible by the Inter-Club Council of which Helen Laycock, our president, was secretary for i922-23. The girls wish especially to thank their faculty advisers, Mis-s Condit. Miss Miller, and Miss Petty, for the keen interest they have taken in the club and for the help and the inspiration they have given. OFFICERS. President ......................

Upon looking back over the history of .the R. O. T. C., one is impressed with the record which the corps has made. At the timie of its introduction into the high schools in 1919, it had its reputation to make. Surely during the four years in which the R. O. T. C. has been a part of Morgan Park High, it has accomplished much, both for itself and for the school, and the past year has brought us to the highest mark yet reached. We have a roll which, in proportion to the number of students in the school, is one of the fullest of any in the city. We have a signalling team which promises to repeat the splendid record set by last year's team. We have, at last, a rifle range, where each member has an opportunity to practice and improve his marksmanship, and we have, for the first time, a rifle team which will compete with other schools for shooting honors. More- over, the efficiency of the R. O. T. C. company has been utilized by the school, for a most successful system of fire drills, conducted by the company, has been instituted. . The company consists of two platoons of four squads each. The boys have been working well, and under the leadership of Lieutenant Lorentz and the cadet officers, we have developed a unit which compares favorably with that of any other school in Chicago. In addition to the regular work, we have had a very fine program of special events. Last October, under the auspices of the R. O. T. C., Sergeant Woodfill, named by General Pershing as the greatest individual hero of the war, addressed our student body in behalf of the movement for a home for war veterans, and as a result of his stirring speech the students contributed a generous sum to the fund. On the following Armistice Day, a program was given during which the donation was presented to the representatives of the American Legion, who 'responded with brief speeches upon the subject dis- cussed in Sergeant Woodfill's address. The program was concluded with the annual R. O. T. C. parade on the campus, Colonel Abells acting as reviewing officer. Colonel Sillman, R. O. T. C. inspecting officer of this district, inspected the R. 0. T. C. later in the semester and gave a very favorable report. On April third, Captain Kolpke of the Illinois National Guard addressed the company upon the benefits derived from: enlistment in that body, and extended an invitation to R. O. T. C. members to visit the 131st Regiment Armory. On May 19, The R. O. T. C. participated in the Annual Boys Day parade which took place down in the city Captain William l-lauber Lieutenant Richard Sanders Lieutenant Robert Gillespie Lieutenant Robert Strong Lieutenant George Pollock Sergeant Norval Diamond Sergeant Charles Daniels Sergeant Chester Blome Sergeant Edward Foote Corporal Robert 1-leineman Private Franklin Newport Private George Welton Members of the signal team: Lieutenant Robert Strong Private Milton Becker Lieutenant Robert Gillespie Private Louis Olson Sergeant Richard Preston Commissioned officers: Lieutenant G.

It has a membership of girls, who meet once a week to learn new songs, under the leadership of Miss Condit. No officers were elected because of its relationship to the Girl Reserves. The club has given but one program so far, that for the ex-soldiers at Oak Forest, but it is expected that more programs will be given later in the year.

The club was organized by a few energetic radio bugs to help the members in the solution of their radio problems and to promote interest in the subject. Now the club is humming steadily. Meetings are held in the physics laboratory, which, because of its electrical equipment, makes an ideal club room. Problems are discussed and several of us have given reports on new hookups, apparatus, and regulations. An excellent receiving outfit of Grebe and Western Electric make has been furnished by the Board of Education. The club has tuned inn with stations in New York Cityg Palm Beach. Florida: El Paso, Texas, Pittsburgh, Penn., Fort Worth, Texas, St. Louis, Mo.: Detroit, Mich.: Louisville, Ky., and Springfield, Mass. A transmitter will doubtless be added next year so that the club will be able to serve every one by sending and receiving radiograms for them. The atten dance of the club has been good and the interest shown proves the club to be a very desirable school activity. Mr. Hall has served as faculty adviser and we wish to thank him for his valuable assistance. , The officers are as follows: Vaughan l-loffacker . . . ...... President Archie Shaver ....... , .

However, the activities were resumed in the fall, with a brand newi resolution to be stringently enforced, namely, that the members of the Walking Club were to walk in the true sense of the word. A contest was inaugurated and prizes were offered to those who should have walked a hundred miles by June. At the time of writing, Vera Wilson is in the lead with sixty-seven miles to her credit, and Mabel Welton is a close second. We chose Friday as official hiking-day and then proceeded to carry out an extensive program. Early in the year, with Marbeth Pervier as guide. we covered eleven miles, walking to Calumet Lake and from thence to the 78th street beach on Lake Michigan, where we had a Weenie roast. Later, led by Abel McAllister across some of the burriest prairies in all Cook County, we acquired considerable distance and would undoubtedly have acquired more, if we had not stopped to pick off burrs and consume sand- wiches. Under the leadership of Rosalie Kerr, we enjoyed a picturesque though muddv trip to Jenkins' Woods. For sheer fun, however, the trip around the Park , directed by George Welton, was the most enjoyable. During the Christmas holidays we attended en masse a performance of Lucia di Lammermoorn at the Auditorium, one of our gayest and hap- piest memories. On January second our big social event, the progressive din- ner, took place. Large numbers of alumni were present on both occasions, feeling very reminiscent, and recalling with evident pleasure old times. After the holidays we embarked upon a series of trips, as interesting and instructive as they were enjoyable, such as the excursion to Sears, Roebuck 8: Co., chaperoned by Mrs. Pervierg to the Argo plant, where we were served with luncheon: to Hull House: and to the Garfield Park Flower Show. The success of the club is largely due to Miss Monsch, who ehaperoned the most of the trips, and whose never-failing interest and kindly advice have done so much to maintain the splendid Spirit of the club. We are indeed grateful to you, Miss Monsch. e - The following officers were elected last fall: President ...................... David Gillespie Treasurer .....................

The purpose of- the club is to create and promote good debaters and judicial- ly-minded students. After a short discussion of these aims, an election of of- ficers was held. The following were elected: President ..... ................. E dward Wayte Vice President .... . . . . . . Arthur Schampel Secretary . ..................... David Gillespie A Constitutional and a Program Committee were next appointed by Mr. Wayte. On the following Monday a debate was held on the question: Resolved that the proposed new Illinois Constitution should be accepted. with Mr. Hartley on the affirmative and Mr. Mack on the negative, which won the decision. On December twenty-first an interclass debate was held in the Study Hall among four members of the Debating Club, upon the following question: Resolved that the present American federal system of government is superior to the present English national system of government. The op-- posing sides were as follows: Mr. Blew and Mr. Rowe for the affirmative, representing the seventh period American History classg and Mr. Wayte and Mr. Gillespie for the negative, representing the eighth period English History class. Mr. Hamilton, instructor of both classes, presided. At the close of the debate the judges delivered their decision in favor of the negative. Resolved that the Eighteenth Amendment and the Volstead Law should be repealed was the subject of the two-period debate held in Room I03 on February twenty-sixth. Supporting the affirmative were Robert Blew, Richard Preston, and Robert Henderson: upholding the negative were Walter Mack, Ray Hartley, and Edward Wayte. Three ten-minute main speeches were made on each side, followed by three four-minute rebuttals. The judges, Miss Brown, Miss Miller, and Mr. Hamilton, rendered their decision in favor of the negative. An important meeting was held on March thirteenth. The new Con'- stitution and By-Laws were read by Mr. Mack, chairman of the con- stitutional committee, and were accepted by unanimous vote. Future act- ivities were discussed and committees appointed to make the necessary plans and arrange the programs. . On the meeting of March twenty-seventh the resignation of the vice president-elect was read, and at the new election Walter Mack was chosen to succeed him. The Debating Club is greatly indebted to Miss Peterson and to Mr. Hamilton, who took a deep interest in the club's activities, and gave it their willing support as faculty advisers throughout the second semester. S4 THE SCIENCE CLUB Last fall the Bird Club was organized and renamed The Science Club . The membership grew to nearly fifty, and meetings were held every Tuesday. We launched the season with a picnic in Hope Woods. At this little affair the Walking Club might have seen fit to elevate its collective nose in disgust, but we, as beginners, considered it a grand success. A little later in October we had a characteristically riotous good time at Mary Backmyer's, where we initiated a few unfortunates. Next we visited the Stock Show, where John Dinsmore's father introduced us to the man who imported the Grand Champion Percheron. He conducted us through the horse exhibit and after a picnic supper we saw the horse show in the evening. We had had no idea of how thrilling it could be to see hundreds of prize cattle parade around the arena to the inspiring music of the Highland Pipers, who proceded them. Our next excursion took us to the Lincoln Park Museum of Natural History, where we were admitted to the Atwood Cilobe, which we found delightfully mysterious. As we sat in complete darkness, on little kindergar- ten chairs, the globe over our heads moved slowly and the different stars and constellations of the changing seasons were pointed out to us. We entered a rather divergent channel in our trip to the Argo factories. There we saw the process of making starch, sugar, and oil and were served a complimentary luncheon, complete in all details. Having apparently cultivated an interest in food, we made a trip to Schultz's Bakery, where we learned everything connected with the science and art of bread-making. f? JJ , Of course, the event of the year was the trip to the dunes. The weather man tried to frighten us, but imperturbed, we turned out in knickers and hiking costumes and had a good time. At our Tuesday meetings we have had programs, usually consisting of reports or illustrated lectures on subjects of compelling interest. Dorothy Bateman, having recently been abroad, showed us pictures of Holland and England: Isabelle Weed spoke, with the aid of illustrations, on rare fish and their peculiaritiesg Wayne Carver, our local bird specialist, talked on winter birds and ways of attracting and feeding them, which inspired Bob Wood- ward and Deane Myers to tie suet on the trees outside the window so that we might watch the creepers and chickadees come: Mr. l-lall, our learned instructor of physics and chemistry, spoke to us on practical chemistry and its application: and by way of variety, we have had Margaret Magill to dance, Eldred Green to demonstrate first aid, and Isabella Hogenhuis to whistle for us. We wish to thank Miss Babcock for the amount of time and energy and the hours out of school that slze has spent on the club, and for the inspiration and enjoyment that her companionship has given us. We heartily wish her the best of good times on her sojourn in Europe. The following officers engineered this successful year for us: President .......... . .

April 2.8, the special attraction being a perfomance of San Toy by the Morgan Park High School students and the occasion so notable that even so august a corporation as the Rock Island Railroad, considered it worth while to run special trains both ways. Aryan Grotto Theatre was filled to the very last place and if anybody was left at home in Morgan Park it was merely the policemen and the railroad agents. ' San Toy is a charming little piece---inconsequential as thistle down and quite as fluffy-but full of delicate shades and color as to music and charming to the last degree in characterization, costuming and dancing. You would not need to know what it was all about in order to thoroughly enjoy it, especially if you ever happen to have the chance to see it done by so talented, graceful, and charming a company as that of last Saturday evening. It was given by the Morgan Park High School, as already stated, under the skillful and thoroughly artistic baton of the director of music in the high schools, Mr. C. Thompson, and was managed and presented by the Cllee Club and Orchestra of the school, under the auspices of the Students' Association. We read further, in the program notes: This is an organization composed of pupils of the Morgan Park High School. The Association is, in a very real sense, the student body in action, functioning with a minimum of faculty control. 'San Toy' is a concrete example of a student activity as fostered by the Association. While a num- ber of members of the faculty have assisted in this production, namely: Miss lvlackin, the rehearsing of the dialogue: Miss Hays, the costumes: Miss Hotchkiss, the advertising posters: Mr. Olsen, the properties: Mr. Thompson, the music: all the pupils have really been co-workers with them. Special acknowledgement is due the following students: Louise Crew, planned and rehearsed all the dances: Evelyn Lange, the pianist, gave invaluable as- sistance at all rehearsals, acting as musical director when the occasion demand- ed: Rosa Matting, the pianist, gave freely of her service: Lois Dangremond the first violinist, drilled the string section of the orchestra: Robert Blew and Mark Hallet are assisting the regular stage electrician and the spot-light operator of the theatre.

Beyond any question the most talented young person on the stage was Stuart Sinclair, who played the part of Li and did it wonderfull-y well, showing acting ability, alertness of action, excellent sense of characterizations, much variety of detail and a sense of humor that was uncanny. He cannot sing to amount to anything, but what comic opera comedian on earth can? He, however, is always on the key, always refined in his work both vocally and histrionfcally and in the latter field especially is so extraordinary that there is no question but that he can become a successful professional should he wish to do so. Second best is Beulah Alexander, who was the San Toy of the cast and who is one of the most charming girls ever noted in any such production ancl, like Mr. Sinclair, fully competent to advance to professionalism should she so elect. . 6l She is very pretty and extraordinarily graceful, all her actions are marked not only by intelligence but also by great refinement and her singing, while not mature by any means, is thoroughly agreeable and her present attainments funder the tutelage of Alma Hays Reed, point unmistakably to greater flights she will make in the future. Ruth Crapser as Poppy, was vivacious and showed acting talent. Ruth Roberts as the Maid, proved unmistakably that she is a first-class com- medienne and the long list throughout showed so much of talent and such splendid attainments that it would be easy to detail excellencies in every one of them and each, in turn, must be considered as being very talented and having prepared his or her part in San Toy with effective care, the vocal work throughout also being of refined and telling character. The Six Little Wives were adorable and the dancing was at once skill- ful and colorful. The costumes were of bewildering contrast and beauty and the action throughout would have done credit to any professional performance. Mr. Thompson was admirable in his handling of the whole music situation, the pianist especially and the orchestra in detail did wonderfully potent work and all the stage assistants of every kind came into line for ex-- tensive and emphatic approval. A school which can train its students to such excellence of public performance is indeed one to be commended. A From The Music News THE BAND City Champions! The M. P. l-l. S. band is now the champion R. O T. C. band of the city of Chicago. On Friday, May twenty-fifth, we established our claim to the city championship by defeating all the other high school bands of Chicago. There were three classes of bands: Class A four class, with less than thirty-five men: Class B including bands of thirty-six to sixty: and Class C of bands over sixty- one. At first every band had to play before the judges and march around the enclosure. No hints were given as to the outcome, but after a while Morgan Park, Englewood, and Lane had to play again. When this was done, the judges had finished making their decision, and the bands were marched into a formation. Morgan Park, Englewood, and Lane marched abreast down the center facing the reviewing stand. The other bands flanked them. facing the center aisle Then, finally, the decision was to be announced. A man arose, and after speaking for a few minutes upon the contest as a whole, announced that we had won the Class A championship, Englewood the class B, and that Lane had carried off the honors in class C. We began to be encouraged. At last he announced that Morgan Park had w1on the city championship. Lane got second place and Crane third. We weren't especially interested in the others, but we proceeded to make as much noise as we could over our own victory. 392 I 1 l SCHUBERT WEEK As music had never been given enough prominence in the activities of the Chicago High Schools, the High School Music Teachers' Association decided to devote one week each year to the celebration of some famous composer. Franz Schubert was the composer chosen for study this year, for the week beginning May thirteenth. At the Great Northern Theatre two memorial programs were presented on Sunday, May twentieth, and Sunday, May twenty-seventh respectively. These programs were given by students of the various high schools of Chicago. Morgan Park was re- presented in the program of May twentieth by Beulah Alexander who sang The Almighty by Schubert. Through some happy chain of circumstances the leading man, Mr. Bertram Peacock and four of his company from Blossom Time, a play based on the life and compositions of Franz Schubert, now being presented in Chicago, visited the Chicago High Schools during Schubert Week, and Tuesday, May fifteenth they came to Morgan Park High. Mr. Peacock gave us a most interesting account of the life and work of F-ranz Schubert. The members of the company sang Schubert's Serenade, followed by The Song of Love from Blossom Time, in the chorus of which the whole student assembly, lead by Mr. Peacock, joined. We are grateful to the genial members of Blossom Time, who furnish- ed us one of the most delightful assemblies of the entire school year. GIRLS' C-LEE CLUB The Girls' Glee Club is the largest musical organization in the school. This year the membership exceeds that of former years, since there are at the present time thirty-six chosen voices in the club. This year the girls have been very faithful in attending the meetings, which have been held regularly every Wednesday afternoon. The members owe a great deal to their pianist. Rosa Marting, with whose aid they furnished entertainment on several oc- casions. They sang at the Englewood Evening School in November, they went caroling at Christmas time: they sang in Fullerton Hall at the Art Institute in February: and they also sang with the C-irls' and Boys' Crlee Clubs of the South Side High Schools at the Memorial Services on Washing- ton's Birthday, which took place at the Auditorium.

The club now consists of twenty- lwo members and is very fortunate in having Joe Alexander as its pianist, On Washington's Birthday, under the able directorship of Mr. Thompson, the club, in conjunction with the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs of the other South Side high schools, sang at the Memorial Day exercises held at the Auditorium Theater. They also entertained with a group of pleasing songs at the January Commencement exercises and at assemblies we have often enjoyed their singing.

Although the orchestra does brilliant work, it receives but little glory, because it usually serves only as a background for the glee clubs and the opera and very seldom comes into the limelight. Besides the regular orchestra, there is also a elementary orchestra consisting of members who are in training to qualify for positions in the regular orchestra when vacancies occur. The success of the orchestra is due not only to the faithful work of its members but especially to its fine training under Mr. Thompson. Much credit is also due to its ac-- complished pianist, Miss Evelyn Lange. The orchestra, consisting of eighteen pieces, has furnished delightful music for many assemblies, for the Commen- cement exercises in January, and later for the Ridge Woman's Club at the Ridge Field House. The repertoire of the orchestra consists of the following numbers: Festival March by Mendelssohn: selections from The Bohemian Ciirlgn The Zenda Waltzesg and the Bim-Bims by Adam.

This harmonious group of thirty-eight pieces is skilfully led by our impressive drum major, Stuart Sinclair. The band has spent a busy winter preparing for its third annual concert, vslhich is usually given at the Morgan Park Methodist Church in June, and for various other affairs, such as the Boys' Day Parade, the Memorial Day exercises, Field Day, and for the Government Inspection The repertoire of the band consists of the following selections: The Show Boy, by l-luffg Welcome Home by Rosenlcrans: Billboard by Klohrg American Legion by Buglioneg Officer of the Dayn by Hallg Lone Star Overture by Hazel, and The Irish Artist by Vernon.

We become ac- customed to certain circumstances, we grow to rely upon them, to love them, and usually without warning, they are changed. We become accustomed to walking by the door of Room 104, glancing in, and seeing the top of some iron-gray curls, and an expansive, corrugated brow. We grow used to being stopped and asked, by a man with a wicked twinkle in his eye, how it happened that we, with our intelligence and ability, were late to school this morning. All this has become an established part of our routine, when suddenly we find Room l04 deprived of all its traditions and a new tenant installed therein. It brings tears, and a catchy feeling in the throat. Hereafter, when we would get some interesting lights on the history of Man, and the trend of Civilization, we must trot through long, drafty corridors to a decrepit shed, where the windows rattle under the strain of a mighty voice. Thus changes are forced upon us and for some reason a great many of us resent them. We fsome of us, hear with alarm the threat of a nice new building and reflect with dismay that this will mean a vast change, under which conditions that we have grown fond of will be relegated to a dim and forgotten past. No longer shall one imperil his life to see a basket-ball game in a gymnasium where the ball hits the ceiling every time it is shot at the basketg no longer shall we have a group of shacks clustered about the building like a hen and chickens, as was a bright freshie's simile: in fact, no longer shall we be surrounded by any of our present primitive conditionsl During our high school careers we have sometimes looked forward to graduation impatiently. Often we have been unappreciative, have felt that we were being abused, wished that the school would burn down or the teachers be kidnapped. Now, however, that our graduation is imminent, we feel nothing but regret for the happiness that is behind us and gratitude that it has been afforded us. We regard our graduation with positive horror. We seem to fear, not alone the new responsibility and the attendant strain on our unaccustomed resources, but the change. We are creatures of habit, and we cling tenaciously, with a ferocious affection to that with which we are familiar, and the prospect of a change terrifies us. No doubt we realize that an un- charted sea lies before us. Perhaps those of us with most precious cargoes will founder in the first squall we encounter, while others will survive una deservedly. In the end a just compensation will arrive, but how many of us shall have had strength to outlast its coming? But whatever trials we contemplate and however the sudden and decisive change that is before us may sadden our souls, let us remember these words of Thackeray's: Our great thoughts, our great affections, the truths of our life, never leave us. Surely they cannot separate from our con- sciousness, shall follow it whithersoever that it shall go, and are of their nature, divine and immortal. -- ,.., 72 TO TI-IE CLASS OF '23 The play is done--the curtain drops, Slow falling to the prompter's bellg A moment yet the actor stops, And looks around, to say farewell. The Seniors are leaving us, the class of '23l In a few more days they will be gone, but the standards they have set, the things they have achieved for our school will be everlasting. As Sophomores they vividly impressed us with their might Qpainfully 'tis truell but in the last years, as Juniors and Seniors they showed us some- thing greater than this,-the might of right. It is their standards in the schoolroom and on the field which are carrying them into a new sphere with flying colors! Good luck, we say, but as we review the successful results of their efforts at Morgan Park, in social and civic organization, in sports, in the operas, in scholarly attainments, and in the general spirit of readiness and sin- cerity, we are sure that it is not luck but native fineness of character that has brought them success in the past and will bring them victory in the future in whatever they undertake. So now, as the play draws to a close, the Juniors stand and urge the players on to the still higher achievements before them, with a single spur, Well done! We repeat it, Class of '23, Well done! JUNIORS, FAREWELL! Farewell, Class of '24l, How short the time, in spite of the many events which have filled our school lives, how brief the space since first we became acquainted with you! It is hail and farewell. We hailed you amid the triumphant howls of future Seniors watching future Juniors roll pencils by a certain very laborious method, and now we bid you farewell with the certainty that '24 will be more than capable of filling the place we leave to them. With what lofty scorn we seemed to regard you, and although professing to be so infinitely superior to you, how we have really admired you! You have made us respect you, for we could not do other than recognize the talent and ability of the class of '24. Always with the traditional, slightly patron- izing attitude which every upper classman feels must be assumed toward those of lesser attainment, we have watched your part in bringing honor and prestige to Morgan Park Highg with unspoken but ever-increasing and sincere pride, have we been witnesses of your achievements. And so, although we have stoutly maintained our attitude of patronising but indulgent big brother to you, we now make open confession of the true comradeship we have felt for you so long. It is indeed a privilege to us to be able to say, These are our friends. C-oodbye and good luck to you, Class of '24! v W ,L-ww-W, 73 AS JUNE DRAWS NEAR A mixture of feelings, partly sad, partly glad, and partly indefinable takes possession of the boy or girl when the realization comes that he has reached the last semester of his high school course. The freshmen, sopho- mores and juniors look with awe and envy upon these fas they believej privileged beings, who are about to leave the school where they have spent four long years. But only those who have passed through the same ex- perience can understand just how a senior feels. Perhaps, to the little fresh- man, four years seems an eternityg but to the senior, looking back upon his years in high school, the time has gone all too soon. To be sure, there is the feeling of satisfaction which comes when one knows he has completed that which he set out to do, and at last is to receive his reward, inthe shape of a diploma. But with this feeling of well-being, comes one of regret at leaving the familiar, and, in spite of any opinion to the contrary, beloved seat of learning. The thought that no more will one walk down the corridors, arm-in-arm with one's best friend, and sit in the old class rooms with familiar faces all about one, brings a feeling of sadness mingled with fear. Why there should be any feeling of fear is a little hard to explain, but instinctively one feels that upon leaving high school one is thought able to take care of one's self and is thrown, more or less, upon his own resources. What will life in the world bring each one of us? After all, the high school years are the most care-free and most joyous years of our lives.

MKEQ5' - 4' APRIL SHOWERS AND MAY FLOWERS By Marion Murray Edward Theodore Kinsley, Junior, so named twelve years ago, but nick- named Bud two years later, was looking with exultant joy out of his bed- room at five-thirty in the morning. Ancl what a scene he witnessed! It was raining, a soft spring rain, a steady, pattering rain, a flower-brfnging rain, an April rain. Therefore Bud rejoiced within his heart. Wherefore? Well, it was an unnatural phenomenon. A sturdy twelve-year-old going on thirteen, usually does not welcome an April showerg but here was Bud doing just that, and he was not an infant prodigy,-far from it in fact. The cause of it all lay sound asleep two blocks away. lts name was Patricia Ellen Stevenson. Just so. To begin, Bud was in love! And love at the tender age of twelvc is a very serious matter. Besides, Bud lived in the small town of Palton, which still carried on an annual May-day rite. On the first day of the month the romantically inclined, young and old, rich and poor, hung May- baskets consisting of prettily decorated boxes or baskets filled with flowers and sweetmeats on the doors of their adored onesg and when the bell was rung, the recipients would dash out after the givers, and catch them if pos- sible. The penalty of being caught was one kiss, and when hearts were young and faces were handsome-basket-hangers were caught frequently- for obvious reasons. Now Bud had a burning desire to hang a May-basket on Patricia Ellen's door, and how he wanted that lVlay-basket to outshinc all other May-baskets! On the outskirts of Palton was a grove filled in the spring with violets-blue, yellow, dog-toothed-ragged-robin, shooting stars, anemones, spring beauties, crab apple blossoms, and hawthorn blooms. From the flowers of this grove a large majority of the May-baskets were filled, and if the season was late-well, May-baskets were scarce. But with every April shower one received increased promise of abundant May flowers. So Bud welcomed the rain, for the flowers would bloom, and his basket for Patricia Ellen would be generously filled. . All that week, the second in April, it rained intermittently, but all the next week the weather was hot and dry, and Bud was cast down into the depths of despair. During the fourth, oh, wonder of wonders,-the rain came down again in torrents. The buds swelled, the flowers peeped forth, the grove was filled with a riot of color and beauty. Bud's basket reposed in an old shoe-box under his bed. It was a glorified Easter basket, all pink and green and white, trimmed and retrimmed. His sister, usually an awful nuisance because she would tease so, for once was interested and helped him with the decorations. The last day of April was a day such as only an April day can be if it wishes. The afr was filled with the fragrance of spring, and the ground was delightfully spongy. Bud, wandering slowly home from school, felt a contented peace fill his heart and he whistled a soft April-like tune. He was supremely happy. Half a block away he could see Patricia . 56 . Ellen's curly head and he swelled with pride to think that he had sense enough to know just how lovely she was, and that he had arranged with Jack, his best friend, to trade his former girl, Gladys, for Patricia Ellen, before May- day. Patricia Ellen was like the spring, he thought,--sweet, small, and shy.. Gladys was not,-she would just as soon slap you if you displeased her. Bud couldn't imagine Patricia E.llen's slapping anyone. She just wouldn't. From all this relightful reverie Bud's mother called him to run an errand. He didn't object, but went joyfully, for the magic of spring and Patricia Ellen had entered his heart. That night he went to bed with an earnest plea to the heavenly powers that the morrow might be fair-a perfect May-day. The next morning Bud sprang up excitedly. It was a lovely morning. Through the window he heard the meadow-lark's clear call, its mate's answerg the cardinal's joyous song Spring is here! Spring is here! was thrown to the warm, south winds to be carried far away. Bud anxiously scanned the sky for any last faint trace of April. Then he drew a breath of relief. Far and wide the blue sky stretched unshadowed by an 'April cloud. But away to the west-too far for Bud's eyes to see-there rested a small, dark spot, April's farewell gift. However, Bud had not seen it and so he went on his way rejoicing. Immediately after school lie hurried home, snatched a basket from the hook, and tore out to the grove. He was one of the first arrivals, and select- ing a choice spot, he commenced picking flowers. He selected them care- fully, for these were for Patricia E.llen's basket, and she was his queen of lVlay. He filled his basket and then went home and reinforced it with a few select blooms from his mother's garden. In the house, Way back in his closet. he had hidden the candy for Patricia Ellen's basket. This candy had been bought with the greatest of care. There were hard suckers which turned one color after another as each consecutive layer was sucked off. There were chocolates of unusual size, butterscotch, and watermelon slices, all Bud's favorite kinds, and in the two weeks in which he had kept these hidden, he had touched only one-and that, thought he, was a small matter. He had merely sucked one layer off an all-day-sucker, making it red instead of the original black. And now May-day was here, May-day-eve was coming on. The little dark cloud had grown to a big dark cloud, for April had given May a changeable giftg but Bud in his excitement did not notice it. After his usual supper, quickly eaten, he sped to his room. and arranged his basket. ln a tiny box lay all the candy in even rows. Then all around were piled the flowers. Bud was proud of this May-basket. Soon darkness fell and he heard a familiar whistle, three short notes and one long one, and he joined Jack, who was laden with a basket for Gladys. ln the spring a young man's fancy .... . As Bud left his father called- Don't stay out too late, son, a storm is coming up. Bud's answed, All right dad! was throwln over his shoulder, 87 f The two boys walked carefully, speaking in low tones, and all over the town other boys walked carefully, speaking in low tones. As Gladys' home was the nearer, Bud watched until Jack had hung his basket, rung the bell, and hidden behind a lilac bush, before he himself w'ent on toward Patricia Ellen's home. He heard a faint rumble of thunder and walked faster. He cautiously approached Patricia Ellen's home. He tiptoed to the door, hung the basket on the knob, rang the bell, called out- A May-basket for Patricia Ellen and then hid behind the nearest rose-bush. Patricia Ellen came to the door, and looking all around, caught a glimpse of white blouse, and came toward Bud. He jumped up and ran, with Patricia Ellen close at his heels. He could have run faster, but then he was a boy and Patricia Ellen was a girl, and a boy ought to be careful of a girl. Down the street they sped, across an alley, through the Main Street, around the town pump, and tow'ard the railroad station. Meanwhile the rain began to fall faster and faster every minute. As Bud neared the tracks, he stumbled and Patricia Ellen grabbed him, crying joyously, I caught you! By this time the rain was coming domm heavily and both were getting wet. Come on, Pat, said Bud, let's wait here by the grain elevator until the rain stops some. They walked up the steps and sat down on a little platform where they could see the red light of the next station away down the railroad tracks. The rain fell faster and faster, but any minute Bud expected it to stop after the manner of left-over April showers. Patricia Ellen, however, grew tired of sitting still, and got up to look around. She wandered over to the little door leading into the grain elevator, and tried to peer into the dark interior. She tried to see how far down the tracks she could count telephone poles. She walked as near to the grain chute leading into a box-car as she felt safety would allow. Bud protested, fearing that she might fall down into it, but Patricia Ellen had her own ideas on the subject. However, Bud's fears were realized, Patricia Ellen stepped one step too close and plunged down the chute, landing with a thud on the floor of the car below. Oh, Bud! she cried, help me quick! She was gone too soon for any aid and Bud was frantic. 'Tm just awful f-f-raid, Bud, came up falteringly with a suppressed sob from the box-car. 'Tm coming down to take care of you, Pat, called back Bud in a somewhat trembling voice, and down he came, landing in a little heap beside Patricia Ellen who was trying bravely to choke back the sobs. Aw, never mind, Patricia Ellen, Bud comforted, I-I'm going to take care of you. He took her hand and held it tightly in his, and carefully gave her his hanky to wipe away her tears. As soon as you don't mind sitting alone, I'll look around and see how to get out, suggested Bud. All right, but can't I go with you? tremblingly asked Patricia Ellen. V 8 B . Bud swelled with the righteous pride of the protector, and then, groping about in the darkness, he at last found that one side of the car had SIDHII blocks of wood by which one might climb over. He climbed up and cautiously helped Patricia Ellen who followed in fear, and finally they were able to climb out and down on the other side. Half an hour later, after escorting Patricia Ellen home, and with her final words ringing in his ears- Bud, I think you're the bravest, most wonderful boy I know, and I like you just awfully much -Bud started to whistle a song, an April-like song with a May-day note in it. I-le was wet and dirty and tired, but he didn't know it, because he was happy, for spring and Patricia Ellen had entered into his heart. SPRING FEVER Now when it comes to writing verse, I'm sure you'll all agree, That the most brilliant of all poets, Is none other than just me. Ah, I write of mystic mountains, Purple prairies, shimmering sea: I write of wild and weeping lovers, Lank and lean, on bended knee. I write, I write forever .... Ode, epic, lyric, ballad, And e'en I write a tragedy Whose theme is lobster salad. I write of fairy princes, And of villas on the Nileg I write of Cleopatra and her Snakes and luring smile. With weary, wan, and woeful mien, I sit me down to plan it: And oh, I write an elegy .... T'would wring tears from rocks of granite. I feel it in my being, My soul cries, Write on, Write! It is dawn when I awaken: I have written through the night. And altho' my verse with feeling, And with passion strong does swell, Alas! Miss Fuhrman sternly chides- Tis trash- 'tis doggerel! Elizabeth Cass B9 ii IAN ADVENTURE IN lVlYSTERYi i By Robert Henderson Very companionable, aren't youll , thus spoke Bill Fryer from the couch where he lay sprawled out in an attitude supposedly restful. Shut that book and be sociable. Aw, make a noise like a clam, growled his room-mate from behind 1 yellow-backed volume entitled The Return of F u Manchu. ' G6'jim1p iii tlie1l5lEe, 'was lVlr.l Ffyer's'a'd4ice.' ' I A momentary silence ensued before Billy piped up again, this time with intentional sarcasm, I wish ymliwouldnlt talk so much, you give me a head- ache. The yellow-backed volume was lowered, the reader glowering at his facetious comrade. Said he, Bill, ,your glad rags are out of use, aren't they ? fBill had scorched his dress suit while endeavoring to save money by pressing it himself., Also you'd like to go to a dance on Saturday. Again, you're a bit low financially, and you want me to lend you the means for at- tending that dance in properiattiire. Now, if il were you, I wiouldn't make im- pertinent remarks, and I would put down that pillow. I fear that perhaps you have designs upon'me,.and it disturbs my peace. Under protest, Billy complied with his friend's suggestion. A prolonged silence followed, until Billy could bear it no longer. Finally- Percival, darling, y' know I-H 'K A P I A spluttering, explosive sound burst from behind F u Manchu and that volume suddenly carne hurtling at the head of the offender, who dodged it neatly. Recovering his complacency, Percival Joseph Weston smiled sweetly upon his tormentor. - 1 ' William, beloved, your features are quite regular, but in order that you preserve your beauty, I 'might advise that you betake yourself beyond that door. In fact, if you don't go, and insist upon staying until I finish this book, I shall be tempted to test its hardness on your craniumf' He had recovered the book, and was fholding it above the head of the unfortunate,Billy, who was traveling toward the door. The temptation was too great, and Billy spoke. But Percival, you dicln't-- Billy dodged the descending book with an expertness which bespoke experience in that line and continued, Hjoef' fsuch was Mr. Weston's pre- ferred namel you didn't know that Lee is a long man! The book stopped-abruptly in the midst of its second descent. What? fincredulouslyl . , 1 That's right. Billy, having saved himself from a knock on the head. had received an inspiration straight, from- the deities who watch over college boys. Joe, full of the mysterieslof Fu-lVlanchu, 7mLight be led to believe anything. 4 Reallyl continued Billy. Every night that old one-eyed fellow 90 Kong goes in there. I went down the alley to see where he went, and say, about half a dozen Chinks go down to Lee's cellar. I know it's because they hold their meetings there. Once, as I peered in the window, I saw them gathered at the further end of the cellar, where they were sitting around a table dimly lighted by an old yellow lamp. Joe sat down slowly, and after pausing a moment to let the idea penetrate his mind, he said Bill, if that's really ao, we ought to do something about it, because it may be a big society, and such an organization is a menace to any community. i Quivering with suppressed emotion, which, however, joe did not notice. Billy assented. Nay, he suggested plans, talked over ways and means of carrying out their purpose, and advanced new theories. Together they sat through the long afternoon, and at supper assembled a select group of their fellow students, to whom they imparted the details of the case, after each had been sworn to absolute secrecy. It was decided, by this august gathering, that Billy should make an investigation that very night, reporting to them. immediately. It was carefully explained by each one that he would really like to go, but that the honor should be Billy's, as he knew more about the situation. Contrary to the rules of the college, .when Billy returned at midnight via the big tree outside his window, about half a dozen expectant youths were awaiting his arrival. 1 Then, with every aspect of terror, the adventurer told his tale. Old Kong and two others came again, he said, and I hid, and watched them through the alley window. I could just see them moving around dimly like shadows, and once I got a glimpse of old One-Eye's yellow face, as they crouched around that dirty old lamp. fBilly, almost convincing himself of his own veracity, waxed oratorical, while his audience set wide-eyed on the edges of their chairs., They sat for a long time, until finally Lee got up and shuffled off into the dark, and when he returned I saw the reflection of the lamp on a great, glistening knife ! The last word, spoken emphatically, caused the listeners, with one accord, to start and look fearfully at each other. The narrator's face was all terror, his eyes, round and wide open, cast uneasy glances toward dim corners, his voice was lowered to a whisper, and with his natural story-telling ability, he produced a remarkable effect upon his audience. They made rapt listeners, drinking in every word, and what little was left to their imaginations, they constructed for themselves, a hundred-fold increased in evil and mystery. At the end of the tale, the group seemed inclined to let the matter rest and adjourn sine die, but this Billy refused to do. He revealed a most astounding plan to themq On the following night the group wtas to go, pry open the cellar-window, and permit one of their number to enter andfhide in the dark recesses of the basement until the Chinamen had left the place. Then this person was to purloin whatevidence he could secure, and make his escape. 91 Appalled with the daring of the plan, the group dissented, declining to risk their skins to do that! Joe alone supported his friend, for, steeped in Oriental mysteries, he had shown himself most credulousg yet he begged in vain. At last Billy volunteered to go alone and to report to them even as he had done that night. To this the boys assented, as they were quite willing to hold the room against all attacks of Chinamen, hob-goblins, and other malevolent beings until his return. Had these boys, the next morning, seen Billy, in the back room of !..ee's laundry, hand to Lee all that wlas left of Billy's month's allowance, they might have been enlightened and have guessed-several things. They did not see him, however, and night again found them in conclave in Billy's room. and Billy himself in the corner drug store. Sojourning in that establishment until the time for its closing, Billy then walked down the alley to the rear of Lee's laundry and after prying open the basement window with a chisel, took from beneath an overturned packing box several articles: one book of the ledger type, black, with red Chinese lettering on its front cover, one large glittering knife, one small sharp knife, and several small yellow pieces of paper, each inscribed with mysterious characters. Transporting these articles to his room, Billy told a tale wondrous to hear. It seemed that he had burglarized !..ee's place, fyou could see the marks of his chisel, and had barely escaped with his life. The next morning. accompanied by an officer of the law, and living in the seventh heaven of delight, Joe went to !...ee's laundry. The intrepid Billy, suddenly stricken with a mysterious malady, remained in his room. It must be admitted that Joe had enlarged somewhat upon the story when he secured aid of the policeman, and that the officer was young and very credulous: so, together they went to the den of evil. Arrived there, the policeman mustered a tremendous frown, and displayed the purloined articles. After a moment, comprehension dawned upon Lee, and scowiling he shook his fist at Joe, Ah, now me gettee you! You stealee blead knife! You stealee laundly book, you stealee laundly book an' lil knife for cuttee soap. Lee turned to the policeman, You melican man you allee-light, him stealee blead knife. laundly book! Poor joe was speechless as the Chinaman led him to the basement, and showed him the innocent uses of the fiendish articles which he had showed him as evidence. It was evident that someone had blundered and now joe was beginning to suspect that perhaps it might be not all--blunder. Perhaps it involved a clever little piece of work. Neither Joe nor the policeman re- lished the prospect of the laughter of their respective companions, and so with much difficulty they persuaded the outraged Oriental to accept mlaterial recompense. Had Joe seen Lee's broad grin after their departure, his suspicious would have been greatly strengthened. 92 Meditatively Joe walked home, and pausing outside his door, he heard strange, choking, convulsive sounds within. Softly opening the door, he saw upon the couch a boy, helpless with mirth. Oh, gasped this person, you stealee blead knife'-uh-uh-' li'll knife for cuttee soap'-'laundly book' Oh, day of joy and gladness!-Oh, the expression on that poor lacl's face! Lee's an actor if there ever was one! Joe coughed, and weak with laughter Billy turned, only to snatch up :- pillow to suppress his mirth and roll backward off the couch as he recognized his room-mate. Then gravely Joe conducted his merry friend from the room. and returning, closed and locked the door. steadily, vwiithout malice, he worked for the next half hour. Producing Billy's shoes from the closet, hc practised the intricacies of knot-tying upon their laces. On Bill's side of the dresser was a bottle of mucilage, and how it spread over so many places in so short a time is a mystery. Joe made a thorough but rather unartistic re-arrangement of his room- mate's possessions. Things were in places entirely unsuited and incongruous. Still thoughtful, Joe opened Billy's trunk, and with a slow, churning motion he moved his arm amongst the sundries therein. He stopped at last, and as he surveyed the ruin he had wrought, a sigh of contentment escaped him. Revenge is sweet. He took a certain yellow-backed volume from the table, and descended to the basement. Thoughtfully and without emotion, he laid it upon the coals of the furnace. Then he left the house, and his revery seemed to pass from him as he made his way to the drug store. His adventure was ended, and realism, bringing a welcome sense of security, had come again. SMILES If you could brush away the pain, The sorrow, and the tears, And let the joys alone remain, How glad would be the years! If you could just forget the sighs Of weary nights and days, And think of all the wealth that lies In happiness and praise, Be happy as a child again, As free from thoughts of carey Bring laughter to the hearts of men And sweet contentment rare. Then daily to this sordid world Much cheer and peace you'd bringg You'd ease the grief of many a heart, And Heaven itself would sing! Ruth Hickerson i93 WHEN CUPID GOES A'MAYING By Marvel Steven F or two weeks Jimmy Rensdale, a sophomore in the Windsor Park High School, had been away on a visit with friends, who lived out of town. During his absence the Bumpum Club, consisting of fourteen select young gentlemen, decided to astonish the world in general by giving a play of the musical comedy type. Jimmy's absence from town, until the day of the per- formance, had made it impossible for him to take an active part. Although he could be only an usher and a flunkie for the amateur actors, he was just as enthusiastic as the star himself could possibly be. On the night of the performance he was at the theatre early, ushering the people to their places, rushing madly behind the scenes to see how everything was progressing, and lording it over the admiring younger boys in short, you would have thought him the general director of the play. Now Jimmie was unacquainted with thenames of the cast, and when. upon going to the dressing room, he encountered the leading man, who came in looking extremely harassed and nervous, he failed at firstto recognize his special pal, Tony, under his make-up. Tony, in a pair of atrociously high-- heeled pumps, was stepping awkwardly about as though he were walking on eggs. He wore a much beflowered, silk-brocaded jacket, starchy ruffled shirt, pale orchid silk stockings, and a very extraordinary pair of brocaded trousers, somewhat tight. Now. it was not that Tony was inclined to be cor- pulent, not at aill, but that the trousers were inclined to be scant. Jimmy, he said, with a woe-begone expression on his mournful count- enance, It's worse that hobbling around on stilts in these heckish old shoes, andl just know these darn pants will rip, if I budge! What'll I do? This old wig would fit the Statue of Liberty, and it keeps slipping down my neck, and this bloomin' mustache tickles my nose, and makes a fellow' sneeze some- thing ffercef' With these gloomy reflections, he left the room, leaving Jimmy somewhat dazed by his voluble griefs. ,lust at that moment Pat, who was to play the role of villain, entered. and ,limmy's mouth fell open in an enormous gasp of astonishment, which quickly turned into a spasm of laughter. For the luvo' Mike, Pat what cha' been doing to yourself? Been in a fight? He ended his question with an appreciative snicker, for Pat's eyes were as big as saucers, and very black. They seemed to be running in little rivers down his cheeks. Oh, Jimmy he wailed, I put some of Sis'sieye-dope on my eyelashes to make 'em real black and villainous-looking, and the darn stuff ran all over. lt's all in my eyes. I can't see a thing, and it's burning like the deuce! With a generous handful of cold cream, and a rag, they quickly reduced the dark orbs, to normal size, but Pat's eyes were still red and smarting. At this moment the leading lady entered. She quite took Jimmy's breath away, for he had never seen anyone quite so adorable, he thought. She wassmall and 'dainty and wore a shimmering blue silk creation, all frilly 94 with lace, a wide hoop-skirt, and a .white w'L .The blue of her gown in- tensified the flush on her cheeks. ful-low extremely clever of the club to get a real girl for the role, thought Jimmy, Julian Eltinge himself could never have looked the part as this girl doeslnj A pair of sparkling blue eyes looked up coyly from beneath long, black lashes, and the arch, half-roguish glance completed the conquest of Jimmy's susceptible heart. i A H l 4 J In spite of his manly sixteen years he blushed painfully, and after that f'rst enrapturing glance, his eyes seemed glued to the floor and he could not find a word to say. He did not notice the gleam of mischief which came into fer eyes, nor the wink which she threw at Tony, who just glanced in at the door. Jimmy was aware only that he seemed-at least to himself-to be all hands and feet, and that his heart was thumping like a trip-hammer. For a few minutes she chatted gaily with Tony and became more entrancing every minute. When she appeared on the stage she played with perfect self-posses- sion. Jimmy watched her rapturously, and suddenly his Marjory seemed to be small and insignificant in comparison. What at raving beauty she was! And how she could act! She was like the spirit of mischief itself as she frolickecl through the comedy, and the audience was in gales of laughter. Presently she came from the stage and beckoning smilingly to Jimmy. who hovered near hoping for one word or glance from the adored one, she said: I am not going on again for ten minutes. The air in there chokes me. I wonder where I could get something coldiand refreshing-my throat is simply parched. Oh! How good it feels to be out in the fresh air! There's a drug store just around the corner, stammered Jimmy. The touch of her arm and the delicate fragrance of powder and perfume thrilled jimmy as he tenderly helped her over the crossing and the bumpy brick pave-- ment, Each ate a banana split and jimmy spent almost his whole month's allowance for a beautiful pink box of chocolates. t But what did it matter when it was such a joy to be able to buy refreshment for 'those rose-petal lips? As they hurried back, for she must be on time, Jimmy walked on air. When she returned to the stage she was greeted with a thunder of applause, and Jimmy's heart swelled with possessive pride. 'Jimmy watched her with fascinated, adoring eyes and when the unisuspectinglrlqony took her in his arms in the last scene to place a lover's kiss on 'her lipsgpoor Jimmy felt a horrible jealous twinge and wanted to vwring his neck! With a lovely smile she turned to the audience and made a graceful little curtesy. When she arose, the white wig was in her hand, and there she stoocleA Boy! Amid the thundering applause, Jimmy, dazed, speechless, utterly chagrined, turned to go home. i I-lis heart was filled with bitterness.

After all Marjory was a little bit of all right, and some-E little vpeach.'t'! 95 Q A PIPE DREAM By Evelyn Kerr Ho! Hum! Division period! Well, the day was half over-would that lunch bell never ring? I sleepily watched the clock, with my cheek on my hand, and groaned inwardly as I thought how slowly the hand moved-- and only five minutes of twelve! And then the door of that clock opened, and out popped a little man no larger than my thumb and scrambled down a sunbeam that led straight to my desk! He gave a queer little bow when I gasped Who are you? and said. in a squeaky stage whisper, I'm I-lop-o'--my-thumb, you've read about me. I suppose, fhere he paused to slap his chestl. I happened to be visiting my friend, the clock, and seeing that you were so terribly bored, I came to offer myself for your entertainment. Since you are a senior, I thought you might like to go back and visit some of the studies you have taken during your four years in Empehi. So here I am! While he was talking, the queer little fellow had bounced about from one end of my desk to the other, and now he pounced upon a button I had never noticed before and pressed it, disclosing a staircase leading downward underneath the portable! Quick, quick! he urged, before Miss Petty looks up and sees you! and together we hastened down the stairs as the desk reclosed behind us. He scampered ahead of me at such a pace that I was quite out of breath trying to keep him in sight, as we hurried down the long dark passage: but finally we came out into a large subterranean chamber which had doors leading out of it as far as the eye could see. There, said my strange companion, in his shrill, piping voice, there are the studies you took while in high school and you may visit any one you like-take your choice! Upon going closer, I perceived that, sure enough, every door was labelled with my various subjects, History, Latin, Algebra, English,-Mmmm! Which one should I enter? Ah! Mediaeval History-I remembered enjoying that and so I told Hop-o'-my-thumb I wished to visit that first. All right, said he, I can't go in with you but I'll wait out here-- don't be long! And unlocking the door with a golden key, about twice as large as himself, he opened it and pushed me across the threshold. What a queer sight met my eyes! Directly before me was a long- narrow, cobble-stoned street, with quaint, rickety houses rising from the sides in such a way that the upper stories seemed to be leaning toward each other and nodding pleasantly over the heads of the people below. And sucb people! They were dressed in very quaint costumes and were carrying manv baskets, pitchers etc., as they bartered in the market place. Looking through the opening at the farthest end of the street, I could see an ancient feudal 96, castle frowning down upon the little town from the heights of a bluff, not far away, and I could hear blasts of the hunting horn and the baying of hounds at frequent intervals, as the nobles armed themselves. I now remembered reading in my history about just such towns and, though I could not discover what country I was in, I thought I should know as soon as some one spoke to me. Therefore I walked leisurely down the street, dodging busy house- wives, who were industriously sweeping their door sills on either side of me. and threading in and out of the picturesque throng. , Since, however, no one noticed me I decided to address the next passerby. Stopping an old man who was hobbling along with a basket full of vegetables, I said, rather desperately, Parlez vous francais? Sabe. usted where I am? He stared at me a moment, blinking like an owl, and muttered, A bird in the hand gathers no moss and walked off, nodding his head wisely. Well! What language could that be? By this time my curiosity was aroused and determined to try again for I thought he was old and, perhaps. feeble minded. Eagerly, therefore, I repeated my question to a red-checked boy who came rushing headlong at me from out of one of the houses. We both sat down from the force of the collision and, when I spoke, he looked scared, opened his mouth like ai fish and gasped Fingers were made before forks, but I think it will snow yesterday! and scampered off like ia startled deer. Dear Me! Was everybody crazy in thisiqueer place? A Suddenly everything grewvstill. I heard a clatter of horses' hoofs: the people scrambled madly for the doorway and a band of horsemen stwept into the street and stopped, with a dismal howl, before me. The riders were all dressed in long, black priest-like robes and looked very ferocious. Then one of them, apparently the leader, reared his horse in front of me until I thought my last minute had come, glaredddown at me malevolently, and roared, We're looking for heretics!! You're a heretic! Your doom is sealed! Horrors! The truth dawned upon me! A I was in Spain and this, was the dread Inquisition -- Oh! What should I do? But, just then some one threw a bag over my head, I was hurled onto a horse and the party dashed away. . . . . . When next I regained consciousness, I realized that I was being dragged into what I surmised to be the castle which I had seen from the street. Here I was thrust into a huge room, flanked on all sides with grim figures, robed in black. I was draggedbefore a great! throne on'a platform in the center of the room and left to face the monster seated upon the throne. My blood ran cold in my veins but I forced myself to look upon the features of this monster, glaring wickedly down at me as I cowered before him. Could I believe my eyes! It was-it WAS-Mr. Hamilton! Immediately I began to talk. as fast as I could, to Delphine-who was seated near me-but it was of no avail. The ogre discovered me and roared for silence, stalking up and down the platform, with his hands clasped behind his back. Suddenly he paused before me, rose upon his toes and, waving his forefinger under my nose, he .97 bellowed, YOU are a heretic and must be punished! Stand up and recite the histories of France, England and Germany in the eighteenth century, -Jr take the consequences l Oh dear! I couldn't remember the least bit about that, it was so long ago and, besides, if I could remember, I couldn't recite. For once in my life. I had lost my voice and was unable to utter a word except I clon't know, which I repeated quaveringlv several times before Mr. Hamilton regained his breath sufficiently to shout Whatl Then you are doomed-DOOMEDY Here is 'your sentence-read! He bent forward and thrust a roll of parchment into mv hands. I hesitated for a moment, trembling, visions of burning at the stake, boiling in oil, and having my head chopped off, raced madly through my mind: then. at a spearman's urgent request, I opened it to find a single penciled mark, labeled Road Map-to the door. In' my startled relief, I demonstrated that a straight line is the shortest distance between two points so thoroughly that I was out of the castle and speeding down the street to the door before any one had a chance to blink. I tumbled through it, panting, heard it clang behind me and turning, with vast relief, beheld Hop-o'-my-thumb seated upon a soap-box calmly smoking an enormous black cigar, with a bright orange band around it. Well he piped, You don't look bored! Did you enioy your trip? No? Well, never mind, come on and let's visit some more, and he leaped down off the box to help me choose another room. Thus I wandered up and down the chamber, passing through the differ- ent doors and' enioying every minute. l had exciting experiences and many amusing ones. Upon entering Latin I stopped to watch a chess game in progress between Caesar, who had quite recovered from his tragic accident in the senate, and Cicero, who was so absorbed in the chess men that he did not deliver an oration, even when Anthony and Virgil passed bv garbed in police uniforms and leading Cataline, heavily handcuffed, to the uhoose gow. In English I saw Macbeth and Shylock but, because their hands were bloody, I did not speak to them. I walked on with Robin I-Iood and Rosalind and we came upon Prospero and Ariel, who had tired of living free and alone and had returned to his master. It became a merry party when we were ioined by Portia. Lucie Manette, Miranda, Lorna Doone, the Red Cross Knight, Childe Harold, Friday and his master Robinson Crusoe, and David Copperfield. Then Ariel, muttering some magic incantations, clapped his hands thrice and a table, loaded with delicious refreshments, appeared before us. We sat in a semi-circle about a large open glade and each of the story Deople contributed to my entertainment with song, or recitation, while Robin Hood and his merry men gave an imitation of Douglas Fairbanks and shot arrows with amazing skill into a target at the opposite end of the clearing. Still later, after the magic table had vanished and the filmy dancing sprites summoned by Ariel had become again invisible, it was with a reluctant sigh that I bade aclieu to my beloved friends of literature. .ree When I visited Geometry, I was amused to perceive that the people were triangles, squares, circles, etc., which were ceaselessly forming them- selves into geometric designs, and I was much frightened to see Miss Higgins come rushing toward me, brandishing a gleaming ax and shouting, If two lines intersect, the vertical angles are equal ! I was shaking with terror at the thought that she wanted to chop me up into geometric figures, and I was on the point of bolting for the door when she came closer and I saw that it was not an ax at all that she was carrying, but an axiom, Two things equal to the same thing are equal to each other, and she was merely trying to tell me to pause and chat awhile. We had a very pleasant visit and, when I left her, it was with the promise that I would return and help her pound triangles and circles into freshman square heads. Rejoining Hop-o'-my-thumb, I was recounting to him my adventures, when my attention was drawn to the door of Ancient I-listory. Saying good bye to him, I entered. I-Iere I found myself in a dark and gloomy forest, through which I hurried rather timidly and came out on Mt. Olympus, where a crowd of gods were gathered in sport. A very thrilling marathon race was in progress and I was much interested in the discus throwing. jumping, and wrestling. Then Thor threw a few choice thunderbolts for my benefit and Zeus called Hermes to carry me down to witness a battle between the Spartans and the Persians. When the battle was over, I thanked I-lermes and journeyed on, vis- iting many famous cities and especially delighting in the beautiful Coliseum which was thronged with strangely dressed people. I-Iowever, I did not stay there very long because some gladiators were thrown into the arena, with a dozen hungry tigers-it took away my appetite for luncheon. Lunch! Mercy, it was nearly time for the bell-I must hasten back! So I raced toward the door, stepping over houses now and then, in my haste and had almost reached it when a white-robed figure stepped out of the forest and confronted me, barring my way! I turned aside to escape him but another appeared, then another, and another. till I was completely surrounded. Dinar me! The Druids! but Druids aren't supposed to appear except at midnight, in the month of June,-Horrors! it was june, and it suddenly was midnight and. worst of all, we were right under a whole grove of oak trees with mistle- toe hanging from the boughs-I was to be sacrified to the mistletoe festival! Right there I said Exit the prince and toppled over on the moss. When I next came to life, I found that I was lying, tied hand and foot, on an altar in a large sacrificial hall and a great number of priests and priestesses were forming in two lines, leading away from the altar. They were chanting gleefully and licking their lips and, fgreat shades of Con- fuciuslj in their hands each one carried a cup of beaten gold, in which to catch my blood! I closed my eyes in terror. 'VV hen I reopened them, I gazed hopelessly down the line of eager priests and priestesses and recognized them! Miss Brown, Miss Higgins, Mr. Thompson, Miss Fuhrman, Mr. 499 Libonati,--the entire Empehi faculty! My last hope was gone-they would be avenged at last! Then the high priestess solemnly approached and I gave a yelp of fright-it was Miss Petty! The saints preserve us! She joined in the chanting with the others and raised a thin, gleaming dagger high above her head. As the blade slowly descended, she chanted louder and louder, and I realized that she was saying, Your excuse for tardiness on the nine- teenth and absence of the twenty-fifth, in a venomous tone, over and over. over and over, over .... The knife came lower and lower, it was within a foot of my heart! The chanting had swelled to an ear splitting din and l was straining madly at my bonds when suddenly there was a loud explosion near me. I heard a bell ringingnsome where in the distance and was thrown violently upward. ' I passed several priests on the way up. and waved good-by to l'lop-o'- my-thumb, who was -blinking at me from the other side of the wall. Suddenly I stopped, wavered a minute, then began to fall rapidly and, finally. landed with a thud in my seat in Portable 12 to find every one hurrying for the lunch room. Miss Petty was still bending over me, but instead of a dagger, she had a ruler in her hand, with which she was banging emphatically on my desk and demanding, with an icy glare, Your excuse for tardiness on the nineteenth and absence on the twenty-fifth! , Well, anyway, she hadn't killed me--yet! A BRIGHT GREEN FRESI-IIE. A fWith all apologies to Abou, A bright green Freshfe flVlay his tribe increase!!

Straight to the office, CMay the Gods now him defendlj Yea, the Freshie rose and vanished. The next day He came again, and wore a frightened way, And toward the teacher stole a reverent glance- Another sleep? Ah, No! l-le took no chance! Marion Murray l'00 ON LETTING IT GROW Soon some thirty members of the Senior class must make a momentous By Florence Byerly decision upon a subject which long ago replaced gossip in select feminine cir- cles, namely: Shall I let it grow or keep it short? For the benefit of the ordinary male being, who can never understand the full import of the question, I shall fto quote our honored civics teacher? argue pro and con. First of all, bobbed hair is convenient--indeed, yes. One merely uses a comb and a brush vigorously on arising and then completes the coiffure by the addition of one hump hairpin. Result-ten minutes of hard labor avoided, and so ten more delightful, lazy minutes in bed in the morning. Then, too, think of the time saved on Hgymi' days! For bow could one change from 'igym dudsn back to normal dress in tw'o minutes, if one had long locks, arranged in a hair net which would be certain to tear? Second, it is economical fcertainly a big factor when one pays senior dues? . N o hair nets need be purchased and the lone hairpin may be borrowed from a friend. Furthermore, as no girl wants to spend a dollar to have seven- inch tresses shampooed, she washes her wise little bobbed head herself in the privacy of her own boudofrn fto quote another member of our facultyl. Opposed to these twin virtues, convenience and economy, is the fact that the world has not, as yet, accepted shorn heads as conventional and dignified. The general public does not hesitate to voice its opinion on all occasions. For children such a style is highly favoredg for the jeune fille, it is looked upon with tolerant amusement as a passing fad, for the college girl, it is a bit undignified, though still permissible, but for anyone over twenty- five, it denotes violent Bolshevistic tendencies. Therefore, because of a foolish prejudice against one's comfortable bob, held by those who from lack of personal experience know nothing of the delightful comfort and freedom of bobbed heads, one feels it incumbent upon one to go through that ugly and annoying transition period when one can call one's crowning glory neither long nor short. Why should it be necessary to comform to the standards set by an unknown and unknowing they ? Why should we of the bobbed locks be slaves to conventions at the cost or our personal comfort? Why, why, I ask you? Hence. I say-keep it bobbed- don't let it grow! illii- Parva Bopeep amisit her sheep Et nescit where to find them Leave 'em alone et venient home Cum omnibus caudis behind them. l0l SPRING Spring, winsome, piquant, Has tripped, with her silver fancies, Straight into my heart And taken up her abode there.

BALLOT BOX This year a new set of questions was devised for the seniors with the idea of lending a little variety to the general scheme of things, and, perhaps, creating something of a stir during the dull part of the season. Both variety and stir resulted, but not altogether in the manner expected. The questionnaire had been issued scarcely half an hour when the Hon. Jeff Wayte assailed the editor in the hall with great agitation and vehemence, and violently de- nounced said questionnaire. lt's so unoriginalf' he wailed with his best debating-platform inflection, How on earth am I going to know which girl has the best disposition? I never married any of them! And so, gesticulating wildly, he was borne away in the flood of traffic. CRight here the editor wishes to disclaim all credit and responsibility that might be attached to her in the matterl. Later returns showed similar reactions. Where the questionnaire re- quested one's choice of qualifications for the ideal senior boy and girl, Willy Mac wrote the word foolish vertically across the page several times. In the same place Red Blew declared that the seniors were all so perfect, he couldn't chooseg while Dave Gillespie, with characteristic frankness, voted himself as possessing all the attributes of an ideal senior boy, remarking that he was terribly bright, awfully athletic, and that his nose tho' flat was beautiful. This result, together with the fact that several people insisted on putting down their favorite colors, flowers, songs, and teachers, although these had not been asked for this year, goes to prove the contention that people as a whole are averse to radical changes. We also neglected this year to tabulate the pet phrases and consuming ambitions of our seniors for the reason that either there were none or they were not divulged.

A4-A -V ,Q ',,Y, H. iiilrmm Nm Ma COACH DAVENPORT Coach Davenport was graduated from Dunwoody lnstitute of Minneapolis, Min- nesota, in l9I7. 'During his career there, he played on the basket-ball team which won the Minnesota state championship and on the base- ball team which won not only the city cham- pionship but was also twice winner of the championship of both Minneapolis and Min- nesota. Besides playing on the basket-ball and base-ball teams, he participated in foot- ball, hockey, and swimming. Soon after the outbreak of the C-reat War, he entered the Navy, where he served in the Aviation depart- ment. After the Armistice, he returned to Minneapolis to act as general coach of a large Athletic Club of that city. Under his able coaching, the club twice won the city chamf- pionship in foot-ball and once in base-ball. From Minneapolis he came to Chicago in l92l and to Morgan Park High in 1922. During the past year, Murphy or Davy as he is affectionately known to the boys, has proved himself a man of sterling moral qualities and of high ideals. His unquestionable fairness, his uncompromising attitude whenever there is any question of right or wrong, and his absolute intolerance of anything but the cleanest sort of sportmanship, have won for him the re- spect and loyal support of the entire student body, while his genial, modest. winning personality has made for him hosts of friends. COACH DAVENPORT ON ATHLETICS When we look back over the closing school year to review the Athletics situation, we have just cause to feel proud that we are connected with Morgan Park High. ' We have no championship shields in our halls, but, nevertheless, we have won something just as desirable. Wherever we have taken our teams, no matter what the sport mav have been, we have earned the name of being true sportsmen. We have played the game with all our might, and we have v'-laved it clean. We have been as great in defeat as in victory. A champion- ship is to be desired and striven for to the utmost of our abilitv, but the honors would be emntv if v'e could not feel that we had won only on our merits. The loval support of the student body is another thing of which we are proud. No team can give its best unless it knows that the entire school ix behind it-cheering it on, whether in victory or defeat. Only the boys on the team can realize the value of a loyal group Of followers. They know what II4 a loyal, enthusiastic student body means for the pep and fighting spirit of a team. In closing let me say again that these two things which we have gained are as desirable as the championship: first, the reputation of being good sportsmen, and, second, the loyal support of the student body. To survive we must have both. Charles R. Davenport. THE FOOTBALL SEASON--1922. The team that represented the Morgan Park High School in football last fall included without doubt the highest type of players fas far as in- dividual ability was concernedl of any team that has ever worn the green and white. We fully believe that the playing ability of individual members of the l922 eleven would surpass that of the Cook County Champions of l9l3 and l9l4, and also that of the exceptional team of I9I 8. When Coach Davenport and Captain Richard Sanders looked over the material on the first day of practice, they found it promising. There were twenty-four men out for the team, eight of whom had previously won letters in the sport. When the league games were about to be played, Coach Davenport selected his line-up as follows: Quarter-back, Turbett Tackles, Sanders and Hohman Halves, Stitt and Sinclair C-uards, Diamond and Preston Full-back, Edwards Center, David Gillespie. Ends, Heil and Hoffman As Robert Gillespie injured his knee in the Austin game, he was used only at end or full back until mid-season. He deserves praise for his catching of passes, punting, and line bucking. Arthur Fremouw often changed off with Diamond or Preston, perform- ing just as well as the regulars. Spaghetti is one of the scrappiest fighters we have ever known. He will be back next fall and should be one of the best all-around line men in the league. The only thing that kept Arthur out of the regular line-up was the injury his neck received during the Austin game which bothered him all season. Bussie ,Heil proved himself a dependable man wherever Coach Davenport placed him. ln the memorable Bowen game, when Turbett was out with injuries, Bussie was appointed to stand in the gap. Every one knows how he worried the Bowenites. Bussie's particular ability lay in charging under a big two-hundred pound tackle, and his combination with Hohman in opening holes in the opponents' line was the best we had. Ammie Hoffman, who played on the other wing, was equally good as an end although he could not handle heavier men than himself as easily as Heil could. ln mid-season Amador blossomed out as a half-back of no mean ability and was a great help in relieving some of the back-field regulars. Lyman Walker changed off at end with either Heil or Hoffman and IIS p TGI gg 4. 0 1 5 . .f 1 Q if 'E 1 M if K-, 8 'N F I, .nw S l 5 if as 3 !:' I nv Jw f -K V. ni . fs w Miva W M ,, ,if Team ll ba oo! F was an end whose work could not be considered mediocre. He was a savage tackler and good at receiving passes. Captain Richard Sanders was one of the best tacklers in this part of the country since the days of Tapper or Augur. His particular forte lay in blocking punts and breaking up wide end runs. We cannot speak too highly of Sanders, for he is all there. Gilbert Hohman played the other tackle all season. Many critics placed his work above that of Sanders, but both were so evenly matched that it would be splitting hairs to pick the best. Although l-'lohman had his nose broken at the end of the season, even this did not slow himg up. Norval Diamond was chosen by the papers as All-Chicago Guard, but we feel that the honor might have fallen on Preston, Fremouw, Sanders, or Hohman,-not that Diamond is at all undeserving, but that the others are equally meritorious. Diamond was elected captain for l923, and we know that he merits the trust of his team-matesg he fully deserves every honor that we can bestow upon him. Richard Preston played right guard. If one should characterize Pres- ton in a word, it would be dependable He was always on the job, and could always be counted on to hurl his wieight where the opponent's line was weakest. David Gillespie played center but changed off at guard or tackle once in a while and occasionally lumbered around as full-back. Dave com- petently filled the gap left in the line by graduation of Parsons, breaking up short pass plays behind the line of scrimmage or defense. Frank Turbett played quarter-back. He is unusually fast on his feet, a clever carrier of the ball, a savage tackler, and an adept hurler of passes. Frank is a star indeed, but we hope that next year he will not disconcert the bleacherites by getting hurt so often. Of course, this is not his fault, but he is too valuable to get hurt at all. Bob Stitt is a plucky half-back, on whom We could depend to plunge through an opponent's first line defense or to run the ends. He was also clever at receiving passes. Would you were with us next year, Bob! Stu Sinclair played the other half. Stu's main forte was his left toe, which was always reliable for a drop kick anywhere inside the thirty-five- yard line. We are genuinely sorry to lose such a good backg we shall miss those brilliant end runs. Sugar Edwards came out for football for the first time this year and was accredited All-Chicago Fullback. His record is enviable. Sugar could punt, buck and, above all, run the ends. His greatest ability lay in defensive lines, and we may safely say that Sugar had no defensive equal in the city. l-le will be with us next year and should tear opponents' lines to shreds. Here's to you, Sugar! Stanley lVlcCaw was a substitute back. l-le performed creditably when in the game and should play very well next year. Mutt Barnes, who II7 sv L ball Team Basket . 4.l '-if-fit' ag 11- s I 1 1, . '. 'MV ,. weighs only about l25 pounds, proved himself one of the best first-year men out, his ability being quite above the average. Alfred Davies served as substitute guard but did not have much chance as there were too many other guards of greater experfence in the field. l-le will be good for a regular position next year, homever. Nlalefytls last year's training should. make the critics sit up and take notice. Al and Mutt are about on a par and both deserve high praise. We have played the game well, and have played it clean. We have the reputation of be'ng the cleanest-playing school in the city of Chicago, a record of which we are justly proud. ln closing, we vwish to mfake special mention of the fellows who have played their last game for the school. They are as follows: Captain Richard Sanders, Gilbert l-lohman, Richard Pres- ton, John Heil, Robert Stitt, Stuart Sinclair, David Ctillespfe and Robert Gillespie. We also wish the best success to Coach Davenport and Captain -Elect Normal Diamond of the 1923 eleven. BASKET -BALL Morgan Park's lightweight basket ball team has had only a moderately successful season. Perhaps our mediocre showing was due chiefly to the fact that Everett Shissler, our star center, was prevented by physical disability from playing in all of the games. Philip Yarrow, a regular forward, was also injured in one of the games and was unable to play out the season. Philip Koenig proved to be Morgan Park's outstanding star, scoring almost half of the total number of points made by the team. Arthur Schampel was our star guard, steadying the team by his brilliant defensive work. He was ably supported by Robert Lundberg, playing his first year with the team. The team lost the first game to Calumet with a score of 23 to 7, but made ample amends in the next game, defeating Parker, I8 to 3. Yarrow and Koenig starred, each scoring six points. This game was balm to our wounded pride and gave us sweet satisfaction for the grilling Parker had given us in football. The next game was lost to Fenger, with a score of 3 to 2, the record lowest-score game of the season. Bowen also defeated us in a second and hard-fought game. For the second time Calumet outclassed us with an overwhelming score although our team never fought harder. Parker avenged herself by beating us 8 to 7. However, in the last two games of the season, we defeated Fenger and Bowen by comfortable margins. The following players received their school letters, having played in at least half of the league games: Everet Shissler, captain Robert Lundberg Jack Shimmin, manager James Rosborough Philip Koenig Robert Strong Philip Yarrow Paul Clissold Arthur Schampel l l 9 1 W ,M ,,. .-., R hi. s., S ,Yin J v-ni, f H Baseball Team 7 5 an .,7,E,.,?.r. ,,R.', .pw BASEBALL Coach Davenport issued his call for baseball candidates shortly before the close of the basketball season. Due to bad weather the outdoor practice was greatly delayed, allowing tlte team only a few days to get into condition for our practice games. This year we arranged for a number of pre-season games, includng two of merit, Lake Forest and Culver. At Lake Forest, because of snow, we were unfortunate in having to stop the game in the third inning with the score tfed. At Culver, although the pitching was good. we lost, due to poor fieldfng. i At the t'me of the writing of this article we have just finished our practice schedule, which, although Morgan Park lost the majority of the games, showed a good brand of baseball. Our team lines up as follows: Burns, our captain, is a fine catcher and has, moreover, all the qualities of good leadership. Edwards is our star pitcher, undoubtedly the best in the southern section and far above the average. Sinclair, at first base, although new to his position, plays well and is becoming better in each game. Schampel, with two years' experience, is a steady player at second base. Koenig, who plays shortstop and is also one of our best hitters, is a sen- sational type of player. Turbett plays third and, due to his speed, takes everything that comes his way. ' Our outfield, consisting of Hohman, Hoffman, and Sanders, is with the exception of Hohman, ncw maierfal. This trio is fast, aggressive and capable. Stitt, Preston, and McClellan are the' utility men, Stitt and Preston as outfielders and McClellan as infielderg all three are good players. TENNIS We started our tennis season with the largest entry list we have ever had. There were 56 entries in tlie boys' singles, I4 in t.he girls' singles, 24 in the boys' doubles, and I6 in the mixed doubles. Wiilliam Hauber was apponied tennis manager and drew up the season- schedule for the team A tournament with the Englewood High tennis team is set for May lb. Al. the t'me of writing, the Morgan Park team. has not been selected for the event, but it will probably consist of Robert Gillespie, Robert Hickerson, John Morgan, and Philip Koenig. An inter-class tour'- nament will be held after the regular tournament. The rules adopted for the tournament are as follows: l. A match will consist of three Q31 sets. 2. The loss of one match will eliminate a player from the tournament. 3. The first round must be played by May 28 and the following rounds must each be played in one week. 4. Games may be played on any court. l2I K E U Y QJ fx. E -2 U NE U fn .2 .: LJ l i 1' GIRLS' ATHLETICS More interest had been displayed in girls' athletics this year than in any of the preceding years. Our interclass basket-ball teams were organized earl y in the season and after nine hard fought games, the Seniors became the title holders of the interclass championship. The Senior-Junior games in par- ticular were very close and though for a time the Juniors threatened to carry off the honors, they Were forced to content themselves with second place. The school team which was selected represents the best material of the ine terclass teams. The line-up was as follows: C-uards Forwards Sue Mechtersheimer, Captain Rosalie Kerr Ethel Conrad Dorothy Burnett Helen Burnett Evelyn Hamilton Center ............ ............. R uth Heuman Side Center ........................ .......... V irginia Sinclair Our first game was played at Fenger. We expected a comparatively easy victory here, but we were doomed to disappointment. Likewise in the return game, played at Morgan Park, we met defeat. There was a marked improvement in the playing of this game, however, and if we could have had a few practice games like it, our team would have been invincible. Our two games with Calumet were also unsuccessful. We knew we ought to beat them and we felt we could, but for some inexplicable reason we did not. At the end of the third quarter Morgan Park was in the lead, I0-l2. This created a great deal of enthusiasm among the players as well as among th espectators, but we seemed to lose our hold in the last quarter. The second game was very close from start to finish. Calumet was urging her team to victory in the last quarter, but Morgan Park held them to a scoreless quarter. The results of the inter-school games were as follows: Fenger vs. Morgan Park at Fenger I9 2 Fenger vs. Morgan Park at Morgan Park 7 4 Calumet vs. Morgan Park at Calumet 20 I6 Calumet vs. Morgan Park at Morgan Park I4 5 Although these results are not entirely satisfactory, we feel that this has been a successful season, partly because of the interest in evidence on the sidelines and particularly because of the quick passes and excellent team work which characterized our last few games. We hope that next year we shall be able to put out a team that will avenge our defeats. I-lere's your chance, Freshmen. l23 Q Wm 1m - P Q A K lui I I Wm mm U R RY' i 37,1 ff! T .

Cousin Sally in a woman of superior intelligence, deeply sympathetic, with an extraordinary amount of common sense, and she has spent her best effort in answering the queries that have been sent to her. We are publishing them here for the general benefit as they contain information on a variety of subjects. Answers to Queries Dear Miss Sally: Would you kindly tell mie what the honorable Ray Cardy uses on his hair? It has a wonderful odor, looks very glossy, and makes a hit with the girls. I have tried everything from linseed oil to molasses. Paul Clissolcl. Dear Mr. Clissold: Are you too, dear boy, striving to acquire one of those patent leather effects? I am. indeed disappointed in you. This is an unworthy effort on your part, inasmuch as you have so many other means of wlinning the ad- miration of the ladies. However, complying with your request, I would say that to the best of my knowledge, Raymond uses mucilage on his hair. I have a friend who uses sugar and water, but this is dangerous during the fly season. Cousin Sally P. S. Perhaps you may remember the days when Bill McLean was with us, and the beautiful effect he obtained in this line. It was rumored that he used lard and lavender water. Dear Cousin Sally: How can I keep my gentlemen friends from dying on my doorstep? They persist in doing so in spite of my oft-repeated protests. Nearly every evening some one commits suicide on our front porch, and I assure you that it is very annoying to have to stumble over a dead body on your way to school in the morning. I feel very sorry for these poor creatures who are so badly smitten, and since I could not return their fevered admiration, I have tried to interest them in other girls, but it is all of no avail. Dorothy Bateman Dear Dorothy: I suggest that you have a lagoon dug in your front lawn, and give your yard man orders to deposit the bodies in it before you come out in the morn- ing, so that you may be spared any revolting contact. rm But really, Dorothy, don't you think you are a bit cruel? Sally My dear Miss Sally: Some of the members of the Debating Club have informed me that there are autos in heaven, and I do not know whether to take them seriously or not. Could you give me authoritative information in the subject? W alter Mack I26 Dear Wallie: Certainly there are autos in heaven! I-laven't you heard the psalm: If I love him when I die, I-le will take me home on high. Cousin Sally lVly dear Sally: ' l am in love with a perfectly hideous looking fellow, while another wonderfully good-looking one is wild about me. The latter chap has kale , however. Which woud you advise me to take? Mary Backmyer Dear Skipper: It would be much better for you to take the one you love, for money does not always bring happiness. However, I should appreciate it very much if you would send the name and address of the other young fellow. Sally Dear Cousin Sallyg I have a girl, and she is almost as tall as I am now, but she is growing awfully fast. I do not like to go with girls who are taller than I am, so please tell me how I can outgrow her before she gets too far ahead of me. Yours truly, Benton Dublas Dear little lVlr. Dubbsg I am afraid you are just naturally inclined to be a rum, in which case there is no remedy. You had better give your lady-love the gate and pin your faith on some one of your own size who has already attained her full growth. If you have any trouble in finding one, just call on me. Sincerely yours, Cousin Sally Dear Sally: .On what day of the year do women talk the least? B ib Dear Bib: On the shortest day. Sally Dearest Cousin Sallyg I have been confronted with a very difficult question in history, and although I have labored diligently both day and night in an effort to answer it, I have come to no conclusion. A friend urged me to come to you for assistance, and knowing how you have helped others in distress, I decided that this would be the best plan. The question is, Why did Leander swim across the l'lellespont? I Hopefully, Robert Strong I27 Dear Bobbieg Your question is indeed perplexing. After going over it in my mind. and thoughtfully viewing it from every angle, I can conceive no satisfactory answer. I can only submit the opinion that Leander swam across the I-lellespont to get to the other side. Respectfully yours, Sally Dear Cousin Sally: As you are considered very good in the solution of love-problems, I have come to you for a b?t of advice. Does a brunette or a blonde have the more lovable disposition? lean Morningstar Dear -lean: Owing to the present popularity of hair dye, your question is difficult to answer. Mr. Richard Preston has a lovable disposition and is a blonde, who, I am sure, has not dyed his hair. On the other hand, there is Mr. Willy McClellan, a brunette, who has a very lovable disposition, although I am not so sure that he has not dyed his hair. But after all, my dear girl, looks are only skin deep. Look out for other qualities. Sally Dear Cousin' Sallyg I-low on earth can I get Dave Gillespie to pay me more attention? He ignores me consistently, and oh! how I admire him! Why are other girls so successful? Marian Murray Dear Marian: I'm sure I canot help you much, since Dave is so peculiar. Why not ask some of the girls who have been successful in attracting him? The I-lodson girls, or Evelyn Kerr might help you. Sympathetically, Sally August Sally: I-las Jeff Wayte a girl? If so, who is she? Is she tall or short, fat or thin, light or dark? Please find out from him, but don't tell him who wants to know. X. X. X. Dear X. I'm afraid you have a mistaken conception of Jeff. His disposition is not so inclined, although I don't believe that he closes his eyes when a flapper passes him. Our editor has accurate information to the effect that Jeff is a charter member of the International Bachelors'-Association, which ought to encourage you a great deal. Sally.
