T H E J E S T E R New Harmony, Inclicma El -----------------------------------------------------'-'------ -------'------'-----------------------------------------------------A El it wasn't for himg he doesn't need it. He merely invented it out of sym- pathy for dull students. Let us try it. Lena Owen was a wonderful street cleaner, but she also had a nobler calling. She is teaching music at Woodmere. I wonder if her pupils will ever be her equal in music, and also in laughing behind teachers' backs when they are looking at you. She was very successful. Frances Heckmann is fmyb ideal. She taught kindergarten in the same school as Miss Owenf' Helen, sadly gazing into the distance, But now she has given- What did you say, Helen '? She has given up her noble calling and has her own little love nest built from plans drawn for General Science. She is teaching a few select pupils her new course in 'How to laugh up your sleeves' and 'How to wear a long face becominglyf She was a wonder in High School, where she first obtained her ideas. Here's Maurice Armstrong. Since Edison has grown too old to do any active work, Maurice has taken his place. He has quite outdistanced Edison. He is also the foremost author of the age. Yes, he is. Did you know he is Shakespeare's rival '? Poor Shakespeare! I'll bet his feelings are hurt. Here's Helen Smith, said Pauline, rolling her eyes around and look- ing innocent. Well, Pauline, you can't look like her or roll your eyes like her, so why try at all? In her spare time she is policewoman. New Harmony has had sev- eral criminal arrests from surrounding towns. Too bad, isn't it? Oh! Helen, there's the phone ringing again. I guess you had better answer it. Mother might get a little angry. Hello! Yes, this is Helen. Oh yes, Pauline is here. We have been studying so hard. Yes, I'll tell her. Good-bye. Well, Pauline, you have a little while yet. Where were we? Oh, yes. here's the last one. Did you see that lady that was around here a week ago selling 'How to Reduce Effectivelyh? That was Helen Endicott. I can't say how success- ful she was, but I wish her good luck. Pauline, sadly, I'm trying it, I hope it works. She has won several honors by her remarkable ability. She says she sells about three hundred books a day. I wish you could hear her. I heard her trying to convince an old man to buy one. He was so charmed by her personality that he bought ten. The only training she had was that which she received in High School when she was selling subscriptions for the annual. Helen, I can never tell you how I appreciate this profitable evening. Well, I must go before Mother calls again. Good-bye. Next day at school one of the Seniors asked, Have you studied for Iiotany exams? I know I'll think. Pauline, holding her head, Well, we sure did study last night. Didn't wc, Helen? HELEN ENDICOTT, '22. Eimu-m-mmmmmu ,,,,,,,,,E l':i gi' 'I .'.'l'l'A?y

T H E' J E S T E R New Harmony, Incliaim El -----------------------------------'-----'---------------------- -.-------------1------------------.-------.-------.---------------A El it worth while? The President came down to see her and she finally con- sented after much persuasion. She sure is a wonder, just think of it! Helen, speaking hurriedly, Oh, Pauline, just think what Gerald is now. He has so far outclassed Wallace Reid that he, I mean Mr. Reid, has lost his job. Gerald has organized a company called 'Ucumsemeef Dur- ing his spare time he is Governor of California. Of course, being Governor is a good advertisement, but it looks like he would devote all of his time to the movies. And Paulinus Lawless is a second Lincoln, they say when people hear him orate they are struck dumb. He is running against Lida Frieg for the presidency. I really don't know which I prefer, do you, Pauline? You know Lida was such a success as Secretary of War and Paulinus is such an orator. I really can't decide, can you? Helen, here's Charles Given, he is that famous well digger. When anyone wants him to dig a well, he just takes an easy chair and sits down beside the place for the well and the well digs itself. Marvelous, isn't it! Did you see his picture in the 'Hobo's Daily' as the fastest runner in the United States? In this same paper his engagement was announced. Poor Charles! He has had a difficult time trying to cope with the opposing factor. But he succeeded at last. I do hope he'll be happy and live a peace- ful life. This paper in which Charles' engagement was announced is edited by Leslie Steelman. He is an inventor, too. He has invented a device by which he may sleep and read in comfort. How inconsiderate the faculty was to make Mr. Steelman remain at his desk and sleep ! t'Mary Wade was the originator of bobbed hair. You know, Helen, I just couldn't resist having my hair bobbed, Mary looked so nice, I hoped to look like her. Helen, sympathetically, t'I'm so sorry, Pauline, you don't show it. Let's study General Science awhile. It is so hard. I hate to study Botany: it gives me such a headache. All right, let's do. But say, Helen, did you read about Miss Wade's engagement? Isn't it thrilling to think both of them come from New Harmony '? g Pauline, reminiscently, Glenn Bailey was the captain of the B. B. team then. They surely had a wonderful team. He also has originated a device which does all muscular labor for him. He has also produced a record which will answer all questions shot at it, no matter how difficult or foolish they are. Pauline, speaking with awed reverence. f'Ohl Helen, can't you just see Roy as he used to walk around the assembly? Wouldn't he have been wonderful in the movies! But, Helen, you know his calling is far nobler: he is a missionary to Hawaii. His work must be so inspiring. Say, Helen, what does this picture make you think of? Pauline pointed to Jennie Kemmerling's picture. ' Why,4that just reminds me. Mother left us some cakes and sand- wiches. Wait a minute until I get them. Miss Kemmerling is such a wonderful cook. She can make delicious soup from any kind of pebbles. She conducts the United States Food De- partmentf' Say, Pauline, let's try that new device originated by Myron Cox. With this wonderful machine one may study while he sleeps. Oh! of course. E1......... ............................ E1 Page Nineteen

In coming years of toil and strife We'll scatter in different ways. Big things will come into each life As we drift from childhood days. This is the beginning, not the end: Our Life has just begun. Now our true colors we must blend In the race yet to be Won. Our ships are built of sturdy oak, And strong to brave the storm. Some may laugh at us, and joke, But joking does no harm. But now, we're anchoring our shipg Our fame is reached at lastg Our oars are given the final dipg Our hardships are all past. Our thoughts return back home again We marvel at our success, Which would have been so hard to gain Without dear N. H. H. S. MARY WADE. Class Sonq We're just a bunch of Seniors, from the school we loved so well N. H. H. S. is our pride, and in her we all confide, Then let. the joyful music swell. Chucked full of knowledge thus are we, as you readily can see, So blend your happy voices and sing merrily. CHORUS Oh! our High School days, We know we'll change our ways, Oh! happy souls are we, just brimming o'er with glee, And how these merits gleam, which were our childhood's dream. We'll lock them safely away, To remind us of school days. CMusic: Wabash Bluesi MAURICE M. ARMSTRONG. Elllulull :mumnnnnuunnnuunmnnuum Page 'Twenty-one
