NICIVPORT HIGH SCHOOL Page 14 lIllHHHY it Might Have Been At the opening of this story we see sitting in front of asmouldering camp- fire a man. A shabby decrepit, dirty creature, but nevertheless a man. In one hand is a newspaper clipping. The other is clenched very tightly and he is gazing at it vacantly. Why is this man sitting here an outcast to society? Let us look back into the annals of history and see if we can find any explanation. Our looking takes us back to a small midwestern college-a medical school. As we start to go into the building through the hugh oak doors we meet coming out, two young chaps. Rather handsome young fellows. Listen, what are they saying? Say Paul, aren't you going to do any cramming for finals this week- end? Hey Bill, are you kidding? Ha, Ha, what do you think I am, I'm going to get my girl, and we're stepping out to-night. Say can I borrow your blue tie? Sure - - : well, so long, I'll see you in class. - - - With this, the fellow known as Bill turned abruptly and walked over to a group of boys gathered on the steps of Lawrence Hall. They were all talking about the coming final examinations when, if they made the grade, they would be- come full fledged M.D.'s and could be- gin their training at any hospital they so desired. Bill Johnson walked over to the crowd of boys and they all called out friendly greetings to him - - Con- versation continued about the exams, when one of the fellows spoke up - - - Say, it seems that all of us, but that Paul Van Arden are staying in this week-end and studying - - - What's the idea? Say you know that guy never studies, and yet he sails through all his studies like a breeze. Our story now changes to the next Sunday night. Paul Van Arden, hav- ing just come in at a late hour, too - - walked over to his desk drawers, fumbled around in it until he found a pen - - - a pen with a very fine point. He than got a book from the book- case in the corner and proceeded to look up the things in this book and write them down - - - of all places, on his fingernails. Just what does he think he's doing, he'll never be able to read that. - - - But wait a minute, isn't he the Paul Van Arden that is so famous for his fine beautiful writing. Wonder what he can be doing - - writ- ing those things on his nails. The next morning as Paul Van Arden was getting ready to leave his room he slipped a small, very strong reading glass into his pocket. - In the exams, had anybody been watching closely, he could have seen Paul Van Arden slyly gazing at his fingernails through the reading glass and then furtively write something on his paper. As the scores for the tests were posted, it was found that Paul Van Arden had gotten an average of 97 in his exams! And so the years have passed, and Paul Van Arden is now a very promi- nent physican with oflices on the very fashionable Riverside Drive in New York City.
