The custom of publishing yearbooks was inaugurated by the class of 1910, who edited a book under the name of the Annual. The following year the name of the book was changed to the Newtonian and has remained such since that time. The motto of this year's board has been to make our Newtonian the Biggest, Brainiest, and Best Newtonian ever published. How far we have succeeded in this aim is the question now to be answered by our readers. May their response be a favorable one! The support given the Newtonian this year is, we believe, the heartiest ever accorded the yearbook. Something over four hundred subscriptions were received up to the date of printing. Such support as this is very gratifying to the editors as it will put the book on a self-supporting basis. Then, too, the help received along literary lines from people all over the school, has aided us materially. We wish to thank the writers of class histories, athletic accounts, jokes, and stories, for their kind and very opportune assistance. The Faculty, as well, have helped us in many ways, and to them we extend our heartiest thanks. And lastly, it is to our advertisers that we owe a large part of our financial support. In recognition of this we urge our readers to partonize them, in this way helping us to show our appreciation for all they have done for us.

And the time has gone so fast, and 50 much has happened since! In the beginning the first day frightened us terribly, but after that the fun began. Football was the first contest in which we were allowed to show our prowess. Alas, we were beaten by the Sophomores, but the Juniors failed to overcome us. Field hockey, however, cheered our crushed spirits, for although the Juniors beat us woefully in our second game, the first brought us a victory over our enemies, 1915. The only encouraging event during the winter in an athletic line was the downfall of the 1915 relay team at our hands, or rather, our feet. Basketball was a miserable failure Qthat is, from our standpointj. In the spring events we showed that we were adapting ourselves to the new regime, for in the gymnasium meet the Freshman girls won both places in one of the events. Field Day was still more successful, for the Freshmen romped away with the volley-ball championship, and beat the Sophomores in the obstacle race. The shadows of our first real exams hovered over us, darkening the long- awaited vacation. When it came it was sweet indeed. So sweet that it was with mingled cheer and regret that we showed our faces again in the halls of Newton High School. V But now, at least, there were no Sophomores to look down on us, and we had become a class who could have a class meeting. There was spirited balloting which resulted in the following elections: President: ROBERT STOWELL Vice-Presiden1f.' MARGARET HORNE Secretary: MILDRED JEFFREY T reasurerg MARGARET SPAULDING At our second class meeting we decided upon our class pins, the best-looking ones imaginable, although almost infinitesimal: a gold N with '16 below on a black triangle. Our athletics in the fall were more encouraging than those of the year before, for we beat the Freshmen in both field hockey and football. In the track meet the boys won third place, while in the gym meet the girls did excellent work, winning second place for 1916 with 32 points, only four points behind the Juniors. In the outdoor Field Day, we were unconquered in the obstacle race, while we vanquished the Freshmen in the hoop-rolling. 49 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL Although our teams had not been very successful, the prowess of our in- dividual members made us duly proud, for we had two members on the school field-hockey team, two on the ice-hockey team, and one member on the Review staff. R September of our Junior year brought us back still more smiling than before, for now we were upper classmen, dignitaries. The result of our first class meeting brough us as President: F. FOREST DAVIDSON Vice-President: MARY I. WEST Secretary: H. WARREN JACKSON Treasurer: O. CARLISLE FROST Our first crowning Success in athletics came in the chilly days of November when we won the inter-class championship in field-hockey. Track for the boys and the gym meet and basketball games for the girls were by no means as successful. On Field Day, however, the girls brought us some encouragement by tying the Sophomores. But it was our literary fame that brought us jubilation, for we started the custom which 1917 is following by issuing a class magazine, the Harlequin, with Judith Matlack as its able editor. But it is our Senior year of which we are most proud. The elections held the second week of school brought the following results: Presrdenzfs F. FOREST DAVIDSON Vrfce-President: MARY ISABEL WEST Secretary: JEANETTE LAWSON Treasurer: O. CARLISLE FROST The year has brought us one championship after another, field-hockey, track, basketball for both boys and girls, and the gymnasium meet for the girls. Let us all bring honor to our Newton High School by making each year as it comes one of championship Such as 1916.

Yes. Do come and help me. It's nearly done, and I can hardly wait to see the rest of it. What's the name of it? 'The Junior Year of the Class of 1917'. Oh, what an exciting sounding name! Where did you get the puzzle? I found it in a store that I've only just discovered, although I guess it's pretty old- Where is it? '4'On the corner of Walnut Street and Elm Road. It's a very distinguished- looking yellow brick building. just ask for the Newton High School and anyone can tell you where it is. I must patronize the place. But explain this puzzle to me. I don't see quite what it's supposed to be. Well, the background is blue because that's the class color. These four people in the centre are john Starkweather, Virginia Speare, Gerald Henderson, and Sibley Littig. What are they doing? They're the class officers. Oh, I see. What are these things around the edge? They're the various teams. The large ones are school teams and the small ones are class teams. This first big one is football. Garrity, Macomber, and Daly represent 1917 on that. I see. Go on. This next one is field hockey for the girls. On the school team, from the Class of 1917 are Caroline Fisher, who is to be next year's captain, Leslie Perkins, and Helen Schermerhorn. The class team, with Virginia Speare as captain, was defeated by the Seniors. Too bad. Cheer up! The poor Seniors would have been awfully disappointed if they hadn't won, and you have to give them a few things to keep them cheerful. I suppose so. This next one is track. Garrity ,represented 1917 on that, and he was elected captain for next year. The Juniors came second in the inter-class track meet. This one is basketball. From 1917 Leslie Perkins, next year's captain, Nora Gulian, Heloise Kennedy, and Elizabeth Carter are on the school team, 55 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL and Mildred Lovejoy is on the sub. Here, you see, is the class team under Leslie Perkins' captaincy. Again they humored the Seniors. X Aren't they generous! You bet! The baseball team must come next, but I can't seem to fit the pieces. I know that it will make a good showing and complete the border. What are these things floating around between the border and the center? i Well, this black object is Junior Essays. It's awfully ugly and just spoils the picture! I should say so! Too bad they couldn't have left it out. What's this thing here? That's the Junior program in the Assembly Hall, and this thing is the Student Council. That's an absolutely new idea. It's never been on any of the other Newton High School puzzles. The 1917 representatives are Starkweather, Woodworth, Cole, Aubin, and Henderson who is also one of the officers. In the girls' Council are Elizabeth Carlson, Elizabeth Clapp, Virginia Speare, Elizabeth Carter, and Winifred Dodge who is an officer, too. This one here is the Review staff which has among its members Chester Whelden as one of the assistant editors, and john Starkweather as an assistant manager. These little things that occur from time to time are reports and they seem to be connected with the English Club. Is there anything left to put in except the baseball? Yes, there's the girls' Field Day, but that's all, so you see that I'm nearly done. Well, let's get to work. This ought not to take long to finish. I think it's about the best picture puzzle that I ever saw. I know it's the best one I've seen. Pk Pk Pk fl: 34 Dk Pk Long live the Class of 1917! . ELIZABETH C.

Almost two hundred and thirty youths and maidens were joining forces for a great struggle. The place of battle had been arranged to be in the Newton High School where Mr. Adams, with the Faculty for his lieutenants and officers, was commander-in-chief. At last, under an emerald-green banner, the army had assembled to fight upon the road of ambition, to win, each one for himself, his heart's desire and knowl- edge, and for his class, fame. This great army, that was to fight together for four long years, bore the name of The Class of Nineteen Hundred Eighteen . All the fall the Class kept at target practice with the hockey sticks, and had a few skirmishes with its enemy, Five-Week Reports. The first battle came on the ninth of November. Then the girls rallied around the green, to win the great field hockey struggle against the valiant Sophomores. Alas! they were defeated by a score of 4 to 0. C Thus in all the sports, the brave warriors put up a noble fight, sometimes winning, sometimes losing. In the annual inter-class meets, the boys were last with one point while the girls were placed third under the infiuence of five points. At the beginning of the second year the class again assembled. It then organized in order that it might better discuss and decide matters of importance. The first meeting was devoted to nominating candidates for office. The election showed that for the year 1915-1916, the class should be presided over by the following persons: i President: ALLEN DAVIDSON Vice-President: FLORENCE MANDELL Secretory: PRISCILLA CLARK Treasurer: BRADFORD STORY At the beginning of the new year, the class was called into a Confederacy with the other classes of the school. This confederacy, the Student Council by name, was formed with the intention of promoting school welfare and establishing self- government. Therefore, a second meeting of the class was held to decide upon the six persons who should represent the class. Allen Davidson and Florence ,Mandell were elected ex officio while the class chose by vote Sylvia Church and Merrill Nutting. Mr. Adams appointed Gladys Deihl and VVayland Vaughn to complete the number. 59 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL 1918 entertained the school in the Assembly Hall on March 15, 1916, with the following extremely interesting program: RECITATION-iiThC Little God and Dicky Gladys Diehl ORIGINAL POEM- Visit of Poe Sydney Andrews PIANO SELECTIONS Claire Leonard iiHASHIMURA Tooo ON BASEBALLH john Barry The great enthusiasm manifested proclaimed the success of the entertainment. ' The boys held the annual inter-class meet on january 28, 1916. Six points brought us a little above the Freshmen, but - sad to say - a little below the Juniors. The girls' track meet followed on April 7, at which 1918 shone by finishing second with 31 points. At the end of two years' struggle the wearers of the green have completed half the campaign, but they realize the hardest half lies before them. However, they are still striving toward the time when the light will be over, and each one will be the proud possessor of his medal- a diploma. FRANCES RIMBACH, '18 60 FRESHMA CL W .

Many things the teachers taught them, Taught the little Nineteen Nineteens: Of the good there is in Latin, Of the kings of ancient cities, Why and when x equals rw, How to catch and throw a swift ball - Taught them all these things and more, too, Till their little heads were bulging, Till their minds were full to bursting.

Frank Dorney and Coach as the two viewed the candidates who answered the football call to arms last September. Strangely enough, these words, with slightly altered tone, proved the most suitable ones that could have been chosen! Perhaps a brief outline of the season will furnish fair mute evidence. Need- ham High, although a plucky bunch of fighters, was not the equal of the Grange and Black, score, 21 to 0. Boston Latin succumbed gracefully to the tune of 7 to 0, while Quincy was simply overwhelmed, 67 to 0. Somerville had us on the run for a while, but we came back strong at the finish and won, 7 to O. Huntington beat us, 13 to 0. Arthur Rico certainly was a line player, making both their touchdowns. Cambridge Latin we beat, 6 to 0, thanks to a clever play devised by Coach Dickinson. Then Waltham! Of course, that certain group of pessimists had been taunt- ing our light team, and had suggested various undertakers, etc., but weren't they some surprised? The score was 0 to 0, and many believe Newton played the better game! Well, that old jinx is dead and buried now! Brookline tied us, 6 to 6, and they may certainly thank their lucky stars for the fact. However, just to cap his glorious season, Capt. Frank Dorney won the Wellesley game, 6 to 0, on a fine piece of headwork. Of course, on a team tying VValthan1 there were of necessity many stars, in addition to excellent team play. Than Frank Dorney at center, there was no better man in high school football, nor was there a more efficient and popular captain. He well merits all honors he may receive. The guards and tackles, Macomber, Mitchell, Putnam, Daly, VVhalen and Comick, especially the latter, were dependable bulwarks at practically all times. The two ends, Bryson and McCarthy, were well able to look out for their portion of the machine. X In the backlield, Vachon, as one reporter said, seemed to be a cast-iron man . His playing on offense and defense was not excelled, we believe, by any schoolboy player of his weight. Systrom, the star line-plunger, must receive his share of credit, as must Wiley, the kicker. To Garrity falls even greater recog- nition for his consistent season's work. Turner, at quarterback, having estab- lished a good record for himself, was marked and Cannon, who took the helm thereafter, performed well. Here's wishing an even better season to next year's eleven, under Captain Vachon. May their slate be a perfect one! 69 L . -'-:J ..-:La X, .L L , , ' N BASEBALL TEAM Irwin Yeo Yachon Davidson CMgr.D Murphy Fitzgerald BIGSEIVEY Jones Adams Newell MacNamara Garrity Dorney Comick QCaptD Hughes Stubbs Coleman Baseball - .1t.i RICHARD COMICK, Captain F. FOREST DAv1DsoN, Manager LTHOUGH eighty-two candidates reported for practice, Coach Dickinson had a hard task on his hands this year. Of last year's infield, which Mr. Dickinson thinks is the best he ever coached, not one man was left, and of the outfield, only Vachon had saved himself from the perils of graduation. It looked as if we were starting in the hardest schedule in the history of the school with a veteran battery and a veteran outfielder, and nothing else. But thanks to our last year's second team, an institution which Coach started two years ago, we really had a full team of first-rate material to substitute for our missing veterans. Then too, with a pitcher who won thirteen out of fourteen games last year, We really didn't need any team at all, for Comick is even better than last year, and is now one of the best pitchers in interscholastic ball. The regular team thus far, is composed of the following men: pitchers: Comick, Murphy, Whalen, catchers: Newell, Stubbs, first base: Adams, Hughes, second base: Coleman, Fitzgerald, third base: Garrity, shortstop: MacNamara, right field: Comick, Meservey, Dorney, center field: Bryson, left field: Vachon.

TRACK TEAM Dickinson CCoaehJ Noble CMgr.J Pierce Hovender CAsst.D Henderson CAsst.J Hayes MacNamara Adams LCapt.J Garrity O'Brien Roberts fallli RAY ADAMS, Captain W. M. NOBLE, JR., Manager HIS year's track team was, as everyone recalls, one of the best that ever represented the Orange and Black. At the inter-class meet, which was won by 1916, a record was made by Arthur Roberts in the high jump. The new mark was 5 ft. 102 in., one and one-quarter inches better than the former mark. The second meet of the year was a dual affair with Huntington. If ever there was an exciting meet this one was, and while we don't believe in alibis, a stroke of hard luck certainly struck Newton. Despite the great efforts of Mar- ling, Shum, and Rico of Huntington, the Grange and Black emerged to the final event, the relay race, only one point behind, the score being 32 to 31. Then came the saddest blow. Arthur Roberts, running first for Newton, had a 30-yard lead on his opponent, and Newton had the race and the meet sewed up, when alas-an unfriendly board tripped Roberts, and the positions were exactly reversed when the second men were touched off. The game efforts of Mac- Namara, 0'Brien, and Adams were unavailing, and as Marling crossed the finish Huntington had won, 37 to 31. Pate was far more gentle in our dual meet with Boston College High. We took every first and all but one second place, the final score being SSVZ to Syl. The Greater Boston Interscholastic saw us in all our glory. To start with, Charles Hayes won the dash in fast time, and Paul 0'Brien placed third in the 1000-yard run. Ray Adams took second in the 600-yard run, and Arthur Roberts and Phil Newell placed second and third respectively in the shotput. In the high jump Arthur Roberts and Henry Pierce led the field, the former winning the jump-off. To increase his individual total to 13 points Arthur Robertswon the hurdles, with Henry Pierce third. Newton's nearest opponent, Boston English High, was more than ten points behind. Of all the stars the best point-winner was undoubtedly Arthur Roberts, he excelled in the high jump and hurdles, was good in the shotput and dash, and sometimes ran on the relay team. However, the consistent work of Ray Adams, Charles Hayes, and Gilbert lVIacNamara in the dashes, Paul O'Brien in the 1000- yard run, and of Phil Newell and Henry Pierce in the field events is not to be overlooked. Henry Garrity proved a good 600-yard man, and was a member of the relay team in the B. A. A. Meet. In this meet the only individual point- winners were Charles Hayes and Arthur Roberts, each taking a third place, the former in the 30-yard dash, the latter in the high jump. We certainly hope that next year's team will have the success that has been ours. 73 HOVKEY TEAM Putnam Lacroix Stubbs Buntin Bruner Eaton Foote Clfoachj Fiske Bnrkhurdt Ctfaptj Hughes Burgess CMgr 3 Zfantkep GEORGE FISKE, Captain CHARLES BURGESS, Manager HF. Hockey Team this year has been a very successful one, when we take into consideration the many handicaps which we have had to overcome. Captain Edgar Burkhardt was taken sick early in january and lost so much work during his absence that he was forced to leave Newton for Stone School shortly after his return. Then, too, complications arose about the use of the Brae Burn rink, and part of the time our practising facilities were decidedly unfavorable. However, we finished second in the lnterscholastic League after a game fight for the lead. The season opened at the Boston Arena on December 31, 1915, when Newton defeated Rindge Technical, 1 to O. Stone School next succumbed, 9 to 0, and St. Mark's followed suit, 2 to 1. Malden was defeated, 10 to O, and then we beat the Medford Independents, 1 to 0, at Medford. ' ln a game played under unfavorable conditions, Brookline trimmed us, 2 to 0, on their own rink. Somerville and Cambridge Latin both lost to us at the Arena by 6 to 0 and 5 to 1 scores respectively. Needham High School sank, buried under a 10 to 0 count. Then Huntington was overcome, 2 to 0, and Boston College High also fell before our stick wielders, 5 to 1. We lost a hard- fought game to the Harvard Freshmen, 1 to 0. After a very exciting game at the Arena, Newton beat Medford, 2 to 1. The game with Arlington was even more exciting, ending in a 1 to O verdict for N. H. S., and putting us at the head of the league. Shortly after, however, Melrose downed us, Z to O, and as that put them in a tie with us, a play-off was necessary for the title. Before a packed Arena, we went down to defeat, 4 to 0, despite the valiant efforts of Dorney, Stubbs, Fiske, and LaCroix. Newton was represented on the All-Interscholastic team by LaCroix and Fiske. These two players deserve great credit for their excellent defense work together with joe Stubbs throughout the season. LaCroix was elected captain for 1917 at the end of the season. In the forward line, Turkey Burkhardt was the star during his session of playing. Buntin, Hughes, Eaton, Bruner, and Putnam all come in for com- mendation on their work in carrying the puck. The above-named eight men, with the exception of Burkhardt, were awarded N's . '75 TENNIS TEAM Xvllllflllll Koeslcr CMgr.D G. Marshall Veo II. Marshall CCupt.5 XVood Nob! cunts HOWARD MARSIIALL, Captain WILLIAM K15EsL1fR, Manager HE Fall Tournament, held in October, proved closely contested and replete with surprises. The winner was Howard Marshall, who was made captain of the school team. The following six men were chosen for the team from their showing in the tournament: Howard Marshall '17, Ccaptainj, Kenneth Veo '16, Gordon Marshall '18, Mark Noble '16, Carl Wood '16, and Wayland Vaughan '18. The only veteran is Mark Noble, whom we hope will be of great service in the several dual matches which have been arranged. Many thanks are in order to William Keesler, who voluntarily took up the management of the team and arranged the following schedule: May 1-Needham High School May 12-Concord High School May 16-English High School May 19-Huntington School june 1-Somerville High School june 14-North High School Also, there are matches pending with Arlington High and Brookline High School. All the matches will be played at home. 77 G OLF TEAM Manning Smith O'Halloran Uhler Cochran G. Daley Gulf GOLF TOURNAMENT was held at the Commonwealth Club early last Spring and a team was chosen from the five lowest scores handed in. Cochran was elected captain, and soon after the team played a match with Exeter Academy. Newton was defeated 3 to 2. Later in the season Newton defeated Worcester Academy at the Albermarle links. The last match of the season was played at Uakley against VVatertown High School team, when Newton again lost by a small margin, the Junior State Champion playing on the opposing team. No golf was participated in last fall by the team. However, this spring a team has been chosen and Manager Cochran promises many interesting matches. 79 FIELD HOCKEY TEAM Fisher Gould Brown Miss Flanders Perkins Pope Spauldin Ohnstead Schermerhorn Huntressllfaptainj Whittlesey Edwards Girls' iianciaep ROSAMOND HUNTRESS, Captain WINIFRED WHITTLESEY, Manager HEN the first call for candidates was made, only sixty girls reported for practice. However, out of this number, Miss Flanders and Rosamond Huntress found ample material from which to select the following team: Winifred Whittlesey, goal Margaret Sinclair Gould, right fullback Helen Schermerhorn, left fullback Leslie Perkins, right halfbaok Agnes Pope, 'left halfback Rosamond Huntress, center habfbaek Eugenie Brown, right inside forward Eleanor Edwards, left inside forward Caroline Fisher, right wing Jean Olmstead, left wing Peg Spalding, center The class games were played off as usual, the Sophomores beating the Freshmen by a small margin and the Seniors overwhelming the Juniors. In the game between the Seniors and Sophomores for the championship, the former won by the score of 9 to 2. At Cambridge after a very close and hard-fought battle, Radcliffe tied us, 2 to 2. In the game with the Winsor School, our opponents were victorious, 6 to 4. However, this was largely due to their poor held. Once again we showed our spunk by holding the Boston School of Physical Education to the score of 2 to 2. In the last game of the season we were defeated by our own Alumnae, 4 to 3. Although we did not celebrate any real victories, we had some exceptionally good playing. Special credit should be given Eugenie Brown, Leslie Perkins, Rosamond Huntress, and Peg Spalding for their splendid work. Much praise also is due Winifred Whittlesey, our invincible goal, who might truthfully be called Johnny on the spot . Come out and try your luck next fall, for with Caroline Fisher as captain we hope to see Newton come through with Hying colors! 81 GIRLS, BASKETBALL TEAM Mrs. Kuntz Spaulding CMgr.D Carter Barry Kennedy Mayers Gulian Perkins Brown CCapt.D Chester Dennett Basketball EUGISNIE BROWN, Captain MARGARET SPALDING, Manager ASKETBALL once again showed its popularity by the large number that reported for practice. However, when it came time to select the teams, the number had noticeably diminished. In the class games, the Seniors beat the Juniors and the Freshies came out ahead in their contest with the Sophomores. The Class of 1916 won the championship by overwhelming the Freshmen, 19 to 9. Good work, Freshmen! Keep it up! The school team which was composed of Arline Meyers, center, Veronica Barry and Elizabeth Carter, side centers, Frances Dennett, Heloise Kennedy, Betty Chester, guards, Nora Gulian, Eugenie Brown, Leslie Perkins, goals, played their first game against Cambridge. This resulted in a sweeping victory for Newton, 36 to 12. The most exciting game of the season was our return battle with Cambridge in their gym. Up to the very last few minutes of play our opponents were winning, however, luck changed and we made eight baskets, thus making the score 35 to 31 in our favor. This spell was left unbroken, as we defeated the Boston School of Physical Education, 24 to 9. In our Alumnae game, we also came through victorious with the tally of Z7 to 15. By winning all its games, this year's team is to be awarded block N's . All the girls played well and we ought to be proud of them. Our three goals - Leslie Perkins, Eugenie Brown, and Nora Gulian, were the best yet, and our many high scores were largely due to their efforts. With Leslie Perkins as captain we certainly can look for as high scores in nineteen seventeen. 83 Girls' gpm meet HE Annual Girls' Gymnasium Meet was held on Friday, April 7, in the Drill Hall, before a large gathering of parents and friends. The Seniors carried off first honors with 54 points. The Class of 1918 was second with 31 points and the juniors and Freshmen followed with 17 and 16 points respec- tively. ' As usual, the first event was the floor work of all four classes, which was won by the Seniors with the Sophomores a close second. Rotary hand travelling was won by Marian McPherson '16, with Helen Shumway '16, second. In rope- climbing, Marjorie Fairbanks '17, was first and Beulah Havens '18, second. First place on the ladder was awarded Leslie Perkins '17, and second place to Helen Francis '16 and Helen Reitsma '17. In the saddle vault Dorothy Richardson '18, was first, and Inez Larcom '18, second. The next event, the oblique vault, was won by Mary Condon '16, and Gladys Fogwill '16, was second. Edna Reynolds '18, captured first place in the parallel bar vault with Leslie Perkins '17, second. Scissors jump was won by Eva Tangney '18, with Mary O'Callaghan '18, second. At the window ladder, Marian McPherson '16, was awarded first, and Elizabeth Osgood '17, second. In the box vault, Miss Leary '19, was first and Esther Stuart '19, second. For the first time in the history of the meets, ten points were awarded the class with the best standing position. This year it was won by 1916. After the apparatus work, several most exciting games were played. The Seniors by defeating all their opponents in both the relay race and the basketball relay, were victorious. Following this excitement, as a sort of pacifier, a group of 1919 girls gave two pretty folk dances. The Sophomores followed this with two equally effective ones, after which some aesthetic dances were executed by the juniors and Seniors. A great deal of credit for the success of the meet, should be given to Mrs. Kuntz and Miss Flanders for their excellent training. 84 4 -Bag if f 1 S my , g 7 Bryson '17 Burkhardt '16 Cannon '16 Comick '16 Daley '17 Adams '16 Garrity '17 Pierce '16 Comick '16 Bruner '16 Buntin '17 Burgess '16, Mgr.

Did you ever stop to think that you are almost always acting? When you are talking you are endeavoring always to make certain impressions, these depending, of course, upon the person and circumstances. You are almost con- tinually false to yourself, necessarily so. You are about to see some one. The subconscious mind immediately says to itself- in an undertone, to be sure- I must be as learned as possible while conversing with this one, and as ignorant and frivolous as possible with the other one. Isn't that so? If it is so with you, don't you think, that if you have found a person with whom you can be yourself, with no impression to make, isn't that person- I'm going to use an abused word here-your friend? Is a friend in need always a friend indeed ? People are very selfish, you know, selfish in that many, many kindnesses are done with an egoistic objective. It really seems to narrow down to this. You can not always judge by actions, for the motive may be selfish, or by speech, for that is the easiest thing to make deceptive. Are not the only things left by which to judge, your feelings and unconscious attitude while in the company of that person? Think of some one, a close friend, Try the test on him. See whether you are relaxed in mind, whether there is no subconscious tension, whether you feel absolutely natural, and, most important of all, whether you leave him feeling refreshed. For it is a fact that keeping thoughts to oneself, burdens one's mind, while being able to express one's most sacred ideas, gives one a feeling - it's hard to express it - of honesty of purpose, and - oh, well, it's a right feeling that's about the best thing for you. I'm afraid, though, that if you try this, you'll find that a real friend is a much rarer thing than you expected. GEOFFREY BAKER as The making what of ffflnntp VEN though mother broke the news to us gently, still, Soapy and I almost collapsed when we heard that our second cousin, Montgomery Worthing, was coming to spend the summer with us. Please don't think we are inhos- pitable. We're the kindliest brother and sister going. But, you see, I had been away tocollege, and Soapy at boarding school, and we had not really seen each other for four years. Now that I had graduated, and Soapy was finished - ahem! - we had hoped to have a good summer together. And Montgomery Worthing was - well, he was Montgomery Worthing. Poor chap, he couldn't help it. If his father had lived he might have been a fine fellow, but as it was, he had been tied to his mother's apron strings all his life-tutors, travelling, and all that. He had never gone to school, so he knew nothing about athletics. He was rather a muff, Therefore Soapy and I groaned. Then Soapy had an idea. Dicky Dale, she said, when mother had left us, don't you dare tell a soul, but we'll make over that blessed cousin of ours. We can do it. How? I demanded. Soapy's schemes always worked. First, we'll shock him. You can do that, if any one can, Soapy old top, I said, parenthetically. That will fuss him so, that we can do just anything with him. Oh Dicky, I've another plan! She whispered something into my ear that sent us into such roars of laughter that mother came in to save whatever pieces there might be. With a prodigious wink, Soapy went off, whistling, Comin' Through the Rye . g The next day, when Cousin Montgomery arrived, Soapy was not in sight and I, who knew where she was, had a tussle to control my features. Mother knew that something was up, too, for after Cousin Montgomery had tidied up, and was sitting on the porch discussing his mother's latest ailments, I could see that the good old mom was preparing herself for a laugh. She knows as well as I do that something funny is on foot when Soapy stays long in hiding. just as our guest was inquiring after his Cousin Sophronia the never would call Soapy by her nickname, as the rest of us dol the lady in question appeared. Cousin Montgomery gasped, mother giggled, although she tried to look stern, and I exploded. For that crazy sister of mine came tearing round the house, astride a huge white pig. The poor beast, angered by the unaccustomed burden upon his back, was prancing about in circles, plunging, and arching his back like an unbroken colt, and snorting with all his might. Finally, he pitched 89 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL Soapy onto the lawn, and tore out of sight. Soapy sat up, grinned through her dishevelled hair, and calmly said: Hello, Cousin Monty! How are you? And Monty was shocked. For about a week Soapy and I kept up this shocking process, in milder doses, until poor Cousin Montgomery must have felt like a storage battery. When he was bewildered to a proper degree, Soapy abandoned this plan for her second. ' That Saturday night, mother gave an informal dance for Cousin Monty. When Soapy is fussed up she is a peach, and that night it was as clear as the nose on your face what she was up to. She gave every dance she possibly could o Cousin Monty CSoapy dances like a dreamj and cast so many bright remarks at him that before the evening was over he was head over heels in love with he r. I chortled, for this was Soapy's second plan. Haven't you ever been in love, or thought you were? If you have, you know just how Cousin Montgomery felt, during the weeks that followed, when he tried his mama's-little-boy best to come up to Soapy's standards. For hours he tramped with her in the june sunshine, along the dusty road. For hours he toiled on the tennis courts, trying to learn Soapy's favorite game. No sooner did he finish one thing than Soapy would start him on another. Really he had a great deal more pluck than I had credited him with, for Soap's test was no easy one for a beginner. Apparently she did not notice this, for she, usually the most kind hearted of people, had no mercy for him. At last came the final test. One day, after a long morning on the courts, when Monty had really accomplished something, Soapy and I were sitting on the porch, cooling off. Monty was not in sight. Suddenly Soap said, in a rather loud voice: Dicky, do you know, Monty has never ridden a horse. He says his mother has always been afraid he might get hurt. Dicky, I think he's afraid! Then a book fell on the floor, just within the porch window, and some one strode out of the room. Soap, that's too bad of you. You knew he was there, I said, and she had the grace to'blush. The next day Soapy and Monty went out horseback riding, and I decided that Monty was a good fellow after all. All might have gone well if, just as they were coming up the driveway, Monty's horse had not stumbled and thrown him. He was not hurt, only stunned but before he had time to recover himself, Soapy was out of her saddle, and kneeling beside him. When at last he sat up, rather dizzily, I received the blow of my life, for Soapy, that most unexpected of sisters, said very solemnly, Monty, will you marry me? ELIZABETH Con BUFFUM 90 'ilrlbe Qliscapz AMES HENRY MORTON PETERS gave a last look at himself in his sister's full length mirror. It was a look which seemed to say, You are good looking, even if I do say it . If clothes make good looks, as they sometimes seem to, james Henry, aged twelve, was extremely good looking, clad in his best blue serge Sunday suit, a clean collar, spotless white necktie, and last, but not least, in size, by any means, his new pumps. His face and hands fairly shone from much scrubbing, and his ears, which he himself had washed for almost the first time in his youthful career, would have done his mother's heart good. And he had spent fully ten minutes combing a dry lane through his dripping locks. The cause for all this care in his personal make-up was that he was about to make his first call. The girl was Dorothy Hastings who lived quite near the Peters, and who had come to live in that neighborhood only a year previous. James, with characteristic shrewdness, had chosen the time for his plunge well. It was Thursday afternoon. Hence no maids would be at home, and both mothers would be at the Ladies' Aid Society. Helen Peters, his older sister, was away at college, and Mary, his other sister, would be at basketball at high school. At the Hastings' house, James counted on being along with Dorothy since Phil, her brother, would be gone to hockey practice all the afternoon. It was with exultant thoughts that he set out for the Hastings, muffled up in a huge overcoat, with his hat well over his eyes, and his feet, incidentally his pumps, encased in overshoes. On the way over, he practised his opening speech to Dorothy. VVhen she opened the door, he would say with a slight bow, How do you do, Dorothy, I hope I find you well. May I call on you a little while this afternoon? After that he'd have to trust to luck to get along, but he had a sort of mental outline of things to talk about - the weather, skating, dancing-school, etc., and he felt sure he could acquit himself well. But the best-laid plans o' mice an' men gang aft a-gley . So jimmy found when the door of the Hastings home opened and Dorothy stood before him. How - how-h-h-how! I-I-I! He stammered painfully, and little Dorothy, no less amazed and confused, was powerless to help him. He began again. I-I-er-that is-er-May I-. He dropped his hat, and hastened to recover it, stammering incoherently. ' 91 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL Dorothy recovered herself with a jerk, and timidly piped out, 'Lo, jimmy, won't you - won't you come - in? Why, yes, I-I will, thank you, very much, Dorothy, said James H. M. Peters, with a relieved air. Call me 'Dot', Jimmy. And so the lid was pried off. jimmy's mental outline immediately was forgotten, and the conversation went along splendidly. Then Dorothy showed him her kitten, and her brother's three bull pups, and they amused themselves in this way for sometime. It was at this point that Jimmy successfully carried out the only precon- ceived plan that he remembered. He asked to see Dorothy's dolls. There was where he scored his big hit and put himself solid with Dot. With the greatest of delight she showed all her treasures to him, and he had to confess himself somewhat interested in dolls. In this manner the time passed rapidly and Jimmy forgot that the Ladies' Aid would soon be over. He came to when he happened to see Mrs. Hastings coming down the street. He speedily made ready to leave, but too late - she would surely see him, a thing he dreaded most sincerely. In hurried phrases, he confided his fears to Dorothy who apparently under- stood his plight and hastily bundled him toward the back door. But Worse and worse, Phil Hastings was coming up the back walk at that very moment, skates on his stick over his shoulder. In here, jimmy, quick! whispered Dorothy, pushing him into the pantry. jimmy had barely disappeared when Phil entered, and made a bee-line for the cake tin in the pantry, brushing aside his little sister who tried stop to him. With quaking heart, Dot awaited the outcome. But James Henry still had his presence of mind with him, and had crawled in under the shelf beside the Hour barrel, shutting the door behind him. . Dorothy guessed where Jimmy had hidden himself, and she followed her brother into the pantry to be on hand should any emergency arise. just then jimmy sneezed! The Hour which he had disturbed in crawling in, had done its work Dot let out a terrified yell, and fled the place shouting, Help, mice! Now Phil, although he was a perfectly husky boy, had no love for mice, and he lost no time in following his sister's example. Dorothy, however, hid in the passageway till Phil went past, and then returned post-haste to the pantry. Quickly summoning jimmy from his hiding place, she dispatched him off to the cellar with the injunction, Hide in the preserve closet . Hardly had the door shut behind the terrified jimmy, when Mrs. Hastings and Phil returned. A prolonged hunt for the mythical mouse followed, of course, availing nothing. Then the Hastings family set about preparing supper. 92 THE 1916 NEWTONIAN In the course of these proceedings, Phil was sent to get some cherries from the preserve closet. But Dot was first at the cellar door and saved him the trouble. Downstairs it was a very bedraggled james who greeted her. He was covered with flour and dirt, and no one would have recognized his Sunday clothes. His white necktie had become gray, his collar was split, and his pumps were white with Hour dust. As for the part in his hair, that was a thing of the past. Dorothy reassured him to the best of her ability, and hurried back up stairs ,with the cherries. In the course of ten minutes, jimmy was frightened to hear heavy footsteps descending the cellar stairs. lt was Mr. Hastings coming to see to the furnace. But fortunately for jimmy, he kept away from the preserve closet. Before long, the Hon. J. H. M. Peters heard the rattle of dishes, seeming to betoken the family at the table. He ventured out from his hiding-place and up the cellar stairs. Dpening the door a crack revealed the fact, All quiet along the Potomac, and jimmy stepped into the kitchen. But sad to say, his trials were not over yet. Mrs. Hastings came in from the dining room. jimmy leaped for the back stairs and reached them safely, before Mrs. Hastings turned on the light. He groped blindly up to the second floor, and reconnoitred. He was just getting his bearings when Mr. Hastings came hurrying up the front stairs. jimmy dashed into the nearest room, which happened to be the bathroom, and catching sight of the clothes-hamper, jumped into it. But in so doing, he overturned that worthy receptacle, and was dumped unceremoniously on to the Hoor. Mr. Hastings came in to investigate just as J. H. Morton Peters slipped behind the door. As the former leaned over to pick up the hamper, jimmy withdrew the key from the lock, slipped noiselessly around the door out into the hall, and closed and locked the door after him. A mufHed roar like that of a recently caged lion, reached his ears as he disappeared into a room at the farther end of the hall. This roar brought the family to ,the scene in a moment, and jimmy made good use of the ensuing con- fusion by escaping to the first floor. Here Dot joined him, having seen him as he went down the stairs. Jimmy rescued his coat and hat from behind the flour barrel where he had shed them in his haste. With a final clasp of Dorothy's hand, he ran out thc back door, calling back over his shoulder, 'Bye, Dot, had a fine time . Come again, Jimmy, said Dorothy, as she closed the door. A moment later, the bathroom window was shattered by the advent of a key, and two people escaped from imprisonment simultaneously. 93 'CDDB Qluhe Bunk HE United States destroyer Porter, with great clouds of inky black smoke belching from her funnels slipped out of New York harbor on her way to Norfolk. Five hours before, the country had been electrified by the news that war had been declared. The impending crisis between Germany and the United States had at last come to a head. The German fleet was known to be prepared to sail at Kiel. The United States North Atlantic Squadron must prevent its arrival off the coast, at least until the army could be massed at the seaboard cities. The Porter was carrying the new code books to the Heet preparatory to its being to meet the enemy. Carl von Eister, German ensign, who had just arrived in the country to get information for the German secret service, had learned of the placing of the new code books through the VVashington agent. He had not yet learned a word of English but he knew that he was the only spy who could get aboard the Porter in time to get the code, and his naval training told him that the possession of one of these books by the German Admiral might mean the destruction of the entire North Atlantic squadron and the capture of the American seacoast cities. So'it happened that as the Porter sighted C ape May, Ensign Eister ventured for the first time to look over the tops of the crates of supplies piled high in the wireless cabin. He had managed, even he didn't know how, to get aboard with the crew and once aboard, he saw the box containing the code books taken to the wireless cabin and he easily secreted himself behind it. Now as he glanced about he saw the operator, who hardly looked over nineteen, reach over to the box and take a brown covered book from the pile. This must be the ship's copy of the new code. His eyes glittered. The operator opened the book and began to read the first page studiously. Now, Ensign Eister was sure it was the code. The operator continued to pore over the first pages, smiling occasionly. Then he arose, slipped the book under several others and left the cabin. Cautiously Eister stole across the room, seized the book, noted the numerals 1916 on the cover and muttering, Gute, gute , he hastily wrapped it up in an oil cloth envelope he had brought for the purpose, and returned to his hiding place. Four hours later when the Porter docked at Newport, Eister smiling grimly hurried toward a long, fast appearing motor boat and passed a man aboard her, 94 THE 1916 NEWTONIAN the oil skin packet, now sealed and bearing the address of Wilhelm Mayer, Admiral of the German Fleet. The motorboat sped out of the harbor to stop some hours later by the side of a German tramp steamer on her way to Germany. The boat was raised to the deck of the liner which soon disappeared over the horizon. Meanwhile Ensign Eister watched the North Atlantic Squadron preparing to leave, and thought of the Iron Cross in store for him, and the stolen code book. Four and one-half days later after a record run to Kiel the captain of the tramp personally delivered the code book, still sealed, to Admiral Mayer, aboard the flagship Vaterland. The Admiral waited only for the officer to depart and then he nervously tore the seal from the envelope and drew forth the book. Hardly had he glanced at the first page than his face grew purple with rage and disappointment for on looking at the title page his eyes trained by years of service to read English fluently noted: Chief Operator --- U. S. S. Porter, Class of 1916, Newton High School. THE NEWTONIAN published by the Class of 1916, N. H. S. DEAN J.

As a monkey moves with dread.

RUTH KIMBALL 95 Tlllbe Tlllbyme jfieln It lies surrounded by low country hills, Dotted with sharp-pointed juniper trees, Hot, juicy blackberries grow there in patches, Guarded by briars which tear at our knees. Over the rocks, and the ruts of the cart-path, Running like tapestry, fragile and rare, Purple thyme lends its faint, spicy aroma, Scenting the breeze and the still, hazy air, Sometimes the cows from a neighboring pasture, Finding a break in the crumbling wall, Slowly meander through, staying their footsteps, Browsng and champing, awaiting the call: Co' boss! Co' boss! just before sunset, Faint through the lengthening shadows they hear, Home tv ns the leader, then home all the others, Following the cow bell's ring, frequent and clear.

JUDITH MATLACK 96 'illibe war of 1940 PICKED up the morning paper eagerly. What I saw, although not entirely unexpected, filled me with varying emotions. WAR IS DECLAREDII, When I recovered my equanimity, I plucked up courage and looked for details. CSpecial Cablegram to the P05135 Berlin, May 20, 1940.--At ten thirty o'clock this morning, diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany were broken off. Ambassador William V. M. Fawcett was given his passports and will take the next steamer from Hamburg. Ah, I thought reminiscently, so the Honorable Bill Fawcett is just as strong on the diplomatic line as he used to be with the teachers back in Newton High. But just then another headline caught my eye. TRooPs MoB1L1z1NG TO DEFEND NEW YoRK New York, May 21, 1940. - The Militia from the middle western states is being rushed to New York, to defend the metropolis. The forts are being heavily garrisoned and preparations made with all possible speed. General David Putnam is en route from Boston to New York, to take charge of the mobilization. Full of the excitement of the moment I seized my hat and rushed to the street, via the elevator, and into the stream of enthusiastic men and women headed for the newspaper offices and bulletin boards. I could do naught but join them and as all were of the same spirit it was not long before I was in ani- mated conversation with two other excited citizens. I tell you, said one, Williams should have sent t 'at ultimatum long ago. Of course, he was referring to the Secretary of State, the Honorable Brad- ford D. Williams. I admit, although Brad l friend of mine, that he had been a little over cautious in his foreign but the populace was praising him on every side for the stand he had just t . At that moment we were passing Tremont Temple On the big sign out front the announcement sprang at me: MASS MEETING TONIGHT REV. M. J. CAMPBELL will speak on EVERY MAN'S DUTY TO Hrs COUNTRY Ah, thought I, Merrill may be a minister, but he's not lacking in patriot- ism and Hght. I'll be there tonight and cheer him along. 97 NEWTOX HIGH SCHOOL Just then a shout of acclamation rose from the crowd gathered on the common ahead of us. We drew nearer and descried a woman standing on the seat of a Ford and enthusiastically and compellingly urging the men of Massa- chusetts to rally to the colors and waste no more time talking about it. XYh ? o is she I asked a bystander. Uh, that's Miss Judith Matlack of the School Commission. And sure enough it was. I had always entertained a suspicion that Judith was imbued with extraordinary powers as a stump speaker and now my suspi- cion was justified. But who was that in the tonneau next to her? I am willing to wager that it was a certain Miss Jeanette Lawson of high school memory. As the crowd surged onward carrying me with it, I was jostled against a dignified old gentlemen and before I realized what had happened I was shaking hands with Mr. Davis, a beloved teacher of my high school days. IYas I glad to meet him? XYell - we managed to pull through the crowd and after getting a table in Bruner's Restaurante de Luxe, we talked for a solid hour. And now, to let the war go for a minute. I learned a few things about my old classmates and teachers. Mr. Davis told me that Mr. Adams, he and several others of the faculty I had known, were retired, and although the teachers were comparatively young, they were thoroughly competent. To my surprise I learned that Bartlett XY. Boyden, A.M., etc., was now head of the English Department, Mr. Thomas having accepted a professorship in English at some western college. Our old friend, Tubby Blake was now teaching German. Another surprise -- I then and there made up my mind to go out to Newtonville and visit the school. But then, it would be new to me for Mr. Davis informed me that a splendid new building had been erected after the fire three summers ago. He also mentioned that Mayor Davidson had made a handsome contribu- tion toward the building fund. After talking over the war, Mr. Davis and I parted, dated up for the near future. On leaving the restaurant I was accosted by a newsboy, and for the first time in my life I saw headlines, worthy of the name, on the front page of the Transcript. Let into the middle of the page, double-leaded and surrounded by rules, was printed a stirring editorial by their leading editorial writer, Albert Palmer. As read it I could not but realize that Al had never been better, even in the old Review . Proceeding up the street, I ran into a throng of excited citizens clamoring for entrance to the improvised recruiting station. I stared in at the show win- dow of what had formerly been a leading milinery shop and caught a glimpse of the recruiting commissioner rushing about inside. It was none other than the 98 THE 1916 NEWTONIAN same familiar, bustling, energetic, nervy Jeff Baker of old. I felt like going in and enlisting myself. Upon reaching my rooms I took out the Transcript for further persual and learned that the young Boston scientist, Dean Almy, had given the Secretary of War a secret formula for preparing a concentrated, noiseless, smokeless powder, fifty per cent more powerful than that now used. Another column told how lawyer M. Noble had successfully brought suit against the Automobile Trust, the only company not affected by this trust being the Ford Company, whose general manager was now Donald Underhill. Although the Society Notes were squeezed into one corner, I found a para- graph concerning the big masquerade ball given at the New Copley Plaza the night before by Vernon Castle's successor, Francis Skelton and his colleague, Mahlon Bundy. That was news to me. As I turned the page, something bored a hole in the window pane and whistled past my head. An uproar arose in the streets. I crowded to the stair- way with the rest of the tenants and was met at the street entrance by such a mob as had not been seen in Boston since the famous Massacre . A crowd of German-Americans were trying to escape with their lives. Revolver bullets, stone brick-bats, and other missiles were in the air. Something hard caught me in the head and the stars came out and the moon. Plf Pk Pk :lf Pk Pk Pk PIC just then I came out from under the ether which Doc Martin had given me after I had tried to make gun powder in chemistry, last Friday, the sixth period. Ah! me, I thought, you never can tell what will happen next. CHARLEs C. NOBLE 99 npr? 6 Hello jack! called out Jerry waving his cap to call attention as he rushed at full speed across the campus and up the steps of the college library, two at a time. Where under the sun have you been keeping yourself? he gasped, mopping his forehead and fanning himself with a huge handkerchief bordered with an inch band of brilliant purple. Here I've been racing around this yard for half an hour with the thermometer up to ninety in the shade, dodging in and out of buildings like some wild, frightened animal. What's the matter, old boy? Anything serious happened? Cool off and get your health. The news will keep awhile longer, grinned Jack good- naturedly. You wouldn't say that if you knew what the matter was! It's about Kitty Estabrooke, you know. Now look at my collar, ruined . . . Look here, what about Kitty, broke in jack in alarm, grabbing Jerry by the arm and dragging him down the steps. For heaven's sake tell a fellow! VVhat kind of an accident is it? I didn't say it was an accident. It's nothing serious, but you don't need to break my neck for me. I nearly did that myself trying to Hnd you. Oh, you jumping idiot, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me what's the matter. If you didn't say it was an accident, you hinted as much, cried Jack. Why-er, Kitty called up the room about half an hour ago and wanted you at once so I came in search of you. She left her number for you. Give it to me quick! cried Jack, snatching the scrap of paper and rush- ing headlong for the nearest telephone. Hello? Central! Central! Number please, came the answer in a clear cool voice. 0Xford 1750! Hang it! How can any one be so everlastingly cool, when Kitty may have met with some accident! Hello! I'd like to speak with Kitty please, said jack, in a constrained voice. Bang went the receiver at the other end. Confound it, what is the matter? Central! Oxford 1750! Hello, I want to speak with Kitty, please. A minute passed while he waited in agony, then, Idiot, this is the animal rescue league, came over the wire. In wrath Jack hurled the receiver at the wall and went tearing out of the building muttering threats that would have made Jerry shudder for his life, even if it were ninety in the shade! MARjoR1E HENDERSON 100 'ilibe Qolttarp Reaper HE burning of the summer sun subsided into a softer glow just above the hazy blue hills, and cast its golden glory over the world, as a last sacrifice before sinking in the western sky. It fell on the treetops of the mountain side, transforming even the baby birds into things of splendor. It tinted the tips of the wheat, which swayed backward and forward as one body in the gentle afternoon breeze. It sent forth the merriest beams of all to shine and sparkle on the foot of a great mountain, and traced its way to the clear sandy bottom where lay the treasures of the brook - the tiny pebbles of lustrous red, blue and green. All at once something appeared around the bend of the stream and ap- proached very slowly. As it came drifting lazily nearer and nearer, the object proved to be an ancient bark, pathetically rustic in appearance, whose only boast was one silent passenger. The latter, however, seemed veritably to belong to the boat, for he was an old man, yet there was something about the way in which he carried himself, the firm square shoulders and upright position, which seemed to contradict the white head and long white beard. Still, there was some- thing else, perhaps in the expression of his face or perhaps in his manner of grop- ingly reaching out for bunches of weeds and flowers as he passed along the grassy bank, which caused him to appear so different from others. He was blind! Then suddenly one clear, vibrating note broke the intense stillness. Another followed and still another. These were followed by beautiful trills and runs now high, never shrill, now soft and low. The world seemed suddenly to warm into a living glow of love, music, and passion. The old man stood upright in the boat, stretched out his arms as if beseeching for the power to see from whence this angel voice came. The notes gradually grew fainter, finally, only the sweet echoes and now and then a snatch of the song floated back over the hills to the lone traveller of the ancient bark, who sat as one transfixed. The solitary reaper was going home. SHERVVOOD S. SMITH 101 The Qppsgfs Qturse HE clock struck nine and for the fourth time in the last quarter hour, I indulged in a yawn. The lamp provided by mine host flickered and protested audibly the lateness of the hour - late only for such a place as that in which I was staying. In London, the evening had just commenced with its ceaseless round of dancing and theatres, its lights at their brightest, and its crowds of pleasure-seekers, but Stoke Bishop was as silent as the grave,save for the occasional bark of a lonely dog. Even that soon ceased, and a silence fol- lowed that was appalling to my city-bred ears. Come, come! thought I. This will never do. You gave up a promis- ing medical practice to come down here for a rest, but too much of this sort of thing will be as wearying as no rest at all. So saying, I laid down my book and was yawning for the fifth time when I heard coming down the road the clatter of a carriage and fast-moving horses. Wondering what it could mean, I turned the lamp low and raised the blind. The moon, although not at its full, accentuated by its light the outline of the low building opposite, and cast a broad shadow between. Down the street came the Hying vehicle and presently I could make out the side lamps as they turned the bend into the village. The carriage rapidly drew near and before it entered the shadow opposite my window and finally came to a stop, I had a chance to remark the labored breathing of the horses and the faintly perceptible dust on the sides of the wagon. The driver sprang out, gave a series of heavy knocks on the door beneath me, and then waited impatiently the coming of the proprietor whom I could hear emerging from the rear of the house. After a short interval, the land- lord's clumping footsteps climbed the stairs with unusual rapidity and came along the passage to my door. I was already there, eager to know what was the occa- sion of the excitement. You're wanted, doctor. Over at Cook's Folly! I hastily gathered together what instruments I had with me, donned a top- coat and cap, and was soon seated by the driver speeding in the direction whence he had come. ' What's the case? I inquired. An accident of some sort? The man was urging the horses to their greatest speed, and answered by shrugging his shoulders. Don't know, sir. One of the servants told me that Mr. Congreve Qthat's the masterj was suddenly taken ill, and to go after the doctor who was staying at Stoke Bishop. You see, sir, Mr. Burgess, the regular 109 THE 1916 NEWTONIAN physician, has gone to London. But as for the master, I can't say what's come to him. Queer things have happpened at Cook's Folly before my day. Cook's Folly? I asked in surprise. Where does that name come from? There's quite a story about that, sir, said the driver. It dates back to the time when old Cook was building the place. The spot on which the house now stands used to be the favorite camping ground of bands of gypsies. Cook, who made his money in the East India trade, cared nothing for such creatures as these and planted his home in the very midst of their sacred grove. I The gypsies were much incensed at this violation of what had been theirs for so long, and several times attempted to kidnap Cook's only son in revenge. One day, when Cook was walking in the woods, he met an old gypsy who was regarded as a prophetess and something of a witch among her people. The old woman cursed him, and prophesied that his son should die a violent death before he reached his majority. The legend has it that Cook went home, thought it over, and had built on the outside of his castle, a tower in which he confined the boy during the few months preceding his twenty-first birthday. Food was passed up to him and everything was done that might add to his comfort. The days passed in safety and the eve of the lad's birthday, likewise of his release, arrived. That night he complained of the cold, and more fuel in the form of a bundle of fagots was passed up to his window. Out of this pile came a poisonous snake which killed him. It is a strange coincidence that a number of years ago, on the night of the death of Major Goodeve, the last owner of Cook's Folly, an adder was found and killed on the main staircase. No, sir, nothingin that house could astonish me. The horses Hew on and the dust rose in clouds behind us as we were borne toward our destination. Presently we entered a thick wood, and, turning sharply to one side, the wheels crunched over a gravel drive for a few hundred yards until we found ourselves in front of Cook's Folly. I The aged structure lay spread out before us. Its ivy-clad wings, surmounted by innumerable chimneys and embellished with leaded casements, extended far on either side, while over all stood the menacing tower. The windows were aglow with many lights, and as I descended to the ground, the driver explained that Mr. Congreve was entertaining friends from London. The magnificent door stood open, and the butler who had been waiting, showed me into an ante-room. He is gone, doctor, said the man. Mr, Congreve passed away ten minutes ago. But perhaps you will care to hear the circumstances before you go up? 103 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL I assented, and the man proceeded to give me an account of his master's death. He was standing near the fireplace in the music room, doctor, listening to one of the guests whois a singer from Covent Garden. I had just been sent upstairs and was on my way down again when I heard someone call for water. Fearing another of Mr. Congreve's heart attacks, I hurried down and met the master being carried to his room in an unconscious state by some of the gentle- men. I followed behind them and we spent some time in trying to resuscitate him, but it was of no use, he remained unconscious until the end, which came as I explained. I will go up, said I. The butler preceded me up the broad old staircase and left me at the bed of the unfortunate man. He was dressed in evening clothes and presented the same appearance that he must have had an hour before. My stethoscope con- vinced me that the servant had spoken the truth: he was dead. Undoubtedly it was heart-failure. I descended the stairs and passed some of the guests on the way to their rooms. In the music room, another group, near the fireplace, were talking in low tones. I caught the word, apopleXy . One of their number stooped to pick up something that he had dropped, and suddenly shrank back. The others followed his gaze, and also recoiled. The women screamed and fledg the men seized chairs, anythingwthey could lay their hands on, and slashed violently at the wriggling object on the Hoor, until it lay lifeless before them. My mind immediately reverted to the legend of Cook's Folly, to the death in the tower and the decease of Major Goodeve. The similarity in each case impressed me strongly and with such conviction that I exclaimed aloud: It was not apoplexyg it was poison! and I pointed to the object on the floor. Once again the gypsy's curse had been fulfilled. BRADFORD D.

Now ain't it the limit? She says it's her fault and she'd tell him so if he'd call up but she knows he won't and she won't call him up, and so there y'are. Can you beat it? Aw, ain't it a shame, now?

When shadows dark bedim our way, I plead That Thou wilt guide us into Purity. Sometimes, forgetting true fidelity VVe shirk our duty and, sometimes, indeed, Forget to ask if Thou wilt always lead, This prayer we pray in true humility. Increase our trust in thy Almighty Power. Although the test is stern and hard to bear, May we without a doubt or fear, each hour Walk by Thy side, and, ever ready, hear The sweet Commandments of our closest Friend, And thus sustained await the glorious end. MARY IsABEL WEST 106 ilast Slnstailmvnt nf Hginenlaulin, the stroma Girl, or Eben the Qunfwial Ban Bama PREVIOUS INSTALLMENTS NOT YET WRITTEN CWith apologies to Stephen Leacockj WENDOLYN, the second girl, was no ordinary girl - far from that, time and circumstances had made her famous. ln fact, she never mended a run in her stocking or kicked the cat out of the fish platter, that it was not recorded at Scotland Yard. Gwendolyn had a hobby, which consisted in col- lecting choice jewels from different sources. Now there was nothing the matter with the hobby - the trouble came in the fact that Gwendolyn never collected any but the most valuable jewels. She especially delighted in family jewels and so we find her on the thirty-fourth of April 19-, installed in the ancestral home of the Lendmores in London. It was nothing less than the hawser of family seed pearls, which had drawn her hither. The Lendmores did not know Gwendolyn's hobby. She wanted to break it to them gently. It was with this in view that she set to work. Shortly after her arrival, if not before, as she was fulfilling her culinary duties, a sharp rap at the door made her stand on end. She hastily threw a dish towel over her arm, and thus disguised strode toward the door. With a rending of timber, her shoe ripped up half an inch of the floor, but still she strode on. She paused a moment before the door to adjust herself for the ordeal. Firstly she extracted a Smith Brothers cough drop from her mouth and tucked it carefully in her shoe, secondly, she shifted her weight from her left foot to her right, and thirdly, she polished the nails of her right hand on the palm of her left, and then shot the bolt. A sample of Magic Yeast lay on the threshhold. With a muttered curse, she kicked it into the dog kennel, drew the cough drop from her shoe, and once more resumed her duties. She tried to hum extracts from H Rock of Ages , dedicated to the Magic Yeast, but after a few spasmodic efforts, she gave it up. Her mind was clearly far away - doubtless on the seed pearls. At this moment, a great draft in the room indicated that Lady Lendmore was blowing into the speaking tube, and Gwendolyn immediately sped stair- wards. She hesitated but a moment before the door, and then non-skidded into the room. Lady Lendmore lay prone on her feet, exhausted by her great 107 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL blow. She raised one carefully pencilled eyebrow as Gwendolyn entered, and said in a haughty tone, Ah, there you are. Yes, here I am, said Gwendolyn. Here you are, at last, said Lady Lendmore more haughtily. Yes, here I be, said Gwendolyn, in a tone in which there still was a trace of sound. While Lady Lendmore was thinking up her next thought, Gwendolyn carelessly allowed her eyes to fall on the dresser, but no harm was done, for it contained nothing breakable. But at this moment, Lady Lendmore interrupted, and Gwendolyn quickly recovered her composure, which had strayed under the bed. Gwendolyn, it has been my custom for years to give the domestics certain daily instructions, which must be rigidly followed. I have prepared a list of your duties, which you will carefully read and fulfill as directed. At the close of her speech, Lady Lendmore handed Gwendolyn a paper on which the Lend- more crest was embossed in three colors-green, green, and still green. The directions, as nearly as could be deciphered, were as follows: 1. Wind all the clocks in the house daily. They are all eight-day clocks, so must be wound every day. 2. Open all the windows that won't open and lower the shades, so that only the light can get in. 3. See that the silver match case on the library table is kept supplied, as there is never a match there, when we want to light the electric light. 4. Always change the water in the potted plants and keep the cut flowers well watered. Very well, said Gwendolyn, Is this all? Yes, quite all, said Lady Lendmore, but when the gardener brings in the Howers, you might arrange a few of the hydrangeas, phlox, and tuber-roses in this bud-vase on my desk. I shall do as your ladyship requests, said Gwendolyn, as she walked through the door, its being open to prevent its being closed, and without further ado, she spiralled down the spiral staircase. She busied herself with various things, while waiting for the gardener to bring in the flowers. She cleaned all the silver she could find, and all that she couldn't find, iced two bottles of sarsaparilla for herself, and read a few chapters from Rolled in Cracker Crumbs or Cheated by cz Slot Machine. In the midst of this ordeal, the Lendmore horses went by the window, chawing their bits and lifting their feet as if intending to put them down again. A close H 108 THE 1916 NEWTONIAN observer might have seen Lady Lendmore issuing through the front portal, and fixing herself, on the installment plan, in the victoria. Scarcely had the victoria rolled from sight, when Gwendolyn sped stair- Wards. This time she did not pause before the door, but walked in. She went straight to the jewel casket, on the dresser. Ah, the seed pearls at last, she said triumphantly, as she tucked them in her stocking. A noise in the hall at this moment indicated that the maid was approaching, and that it behooved Gwendolyn to look for new quarters. With this in sight and the pearls out of sight, she walked through the doorway, which was just wide enough for one person to walk abreast. Coming out into the hall, she paused at the top of the wide staircase, and, after mentally calculating the circumference of her skirt, she skirted the bannister and bannistered down against the newel post with such force that she knocked the cotton batting out of her ear. This fell to the floor with such a thud that the butler came running towards the spot. There he coincided with the maid, who madly clutching at her brakes, came careening down the stairs and turned turtle. The butler assisted in untangling her from the wreckage, and the maid, incoherently mur- muring, Gwendolyn-Seed pearls-my poor bean, Hed after Gwendolyn with the butler steaming along in her wake. In the meantime, Gwendolyn had left the ancestral home of the Lendmores and fled into the old fashioned garden with its box hedge. lt was a dull and sunny day and her pursuers were close upon her, but, wishing to see how many seconds she had to reach the street, she paused at the sun-dial. With her ear close to its weather-beaten surface, she said with a muttered curse, Who let this thing run down? A She could delay no longer, for already the butler had boxed his way through the hedge and was within swearing distance. With a yelp like a hounded animal at bay, she put for the lodge gate. She was none too soon and strove in vain to swing the massive gate, but to no avail - it was locked. She was not to be thwarted by a trifle like this, so, taking a long breath, she rose to the occasion and landed safely on the other side of the wall. As she fled, she passed Lady Lendmore. At the sight of her seed pearls, which in the heat of the chase, had melted and were running out of Gwendolyn's shoe with a little purling noise, Lady Lendmore sank in a heap on the foot warmer, while the cause of all this sped from sight. Pk Plf P14 DK Pk Pk PK PF In the noisy silence of the twilight, Lady Lendmore was startled from her legarthy by the telephone bell. With eyes that heard not and ears that saw not, 109 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL she gropingly lifted the receiver and heard the strangest, weirdest, and never- to-be-forgotten words, Pay station calling. Please hold the line. Soon a voice so natural that it was almost human, came over the wire, and a voice like that, none but Gwendolyn could possess. Could it be that she was going to confess? Such must have been the case, for as the conversation continued Lady Lendmore edged nearer the exit side of her chair, and, wildly pawing the air with her ground grippers, landed on terra harda just as Another nickel, please , Hoated over the wire, and the connection was lost forever.

The object of this organization is to assume re- sponsibility for promoting school spirit, fellowship, endeavor, and general welfare. It consists of two distinct parts - the boys' and the girls'. Each of these sec- tions is composed of seventeen members nine of whom were either elected or appointed from the senior class, five from the junior class, and three from the sophomore class. In each case the president and vice-president of the class were included ex officio. Mr. Adams was appointed faculty advisor for the boys and Miss McGill for the girls. Each section has its own officers who were elected at the first meeting. The officers for this year were: QBUPS President JOSEPH STUBBS, '16 Secretary GERALD HENDERSON, '17 Treasurer MEYLERT BRUNER, '16 415315 President EVANGELINE HUNTLEY, '16 Secretary MARY ISABEL WEST, '16 Treasurer WINNIFRED DODGE, '17 The members for the Fawcett, '16 Buntin, '16 Dorney, '16 Almy, '16 Underhill, '16 Stubbs, '16 Bruner, '16 F.

Grounds Committee, Assembly, Civics, and Lunch Room committees, for the purpose of assisting along their several lines. Both sections meet separately or jointly, as the case may be, on the third Monday of every month. As we have said before, this is the first time that such an organization has been instituted. lt has been a decided success, however, since all the members have pulled together and worked well - thereby exerting a certain influence of good throughout the school. 116 Qinglisb Qllluh JUDITH MATLACK, '16, President EVANGELINE HUNTLEY, '16, Vice-President JEANETTE LAWSON, '16, Secretary DEAN ALMY, '16, Treasurer HE first meeting of the English Club for the year 1915 took place in the Assembly Hall, October 22, 1915, with an attendance of about sixty mem- bers. The above officers were elected. The second meeting of the English Club was an cpen meeting, an afternoon with Uncle Rernus. The first number on the program was a solo, entitled Kentucky Babe, and excellently rendered by William Fawcett. 'The following numbers were then executed. Evangeline Huntley gave a conversational biography of Joel Chandler Harris. Then Fawcett sang again - this time, Homer's Banjo Song. After this, Bartlett Boyden and Delight Wright gave original selections, How Mr. Terrapin Caine to Mr. Rabbit's Rescue, and Massa Rabbit and Massa Deer. respectively. Next Mary West recited Mr. Harris' Tar Baby in a very realistic manner, a recitation which was followed by another selection given by Geoffrey Baker. Ruth McAllister concluded the program by playing MacDowell's Frorn Uncle Rernus. While this piece was being played, two very charming tableaux were presented by Fawcett in the character of Uncle Remus with Geraldine Longwell as his interested listener. After the meeting we ad- journed to the library where we sang southern songs and partook of refreshments. The third meeting of the English Club was held in the library on December 10, 1915. After a brief business meeting, Fawcett presented Mr. Barmen who was to speak to the club on Tagore, the famous Indian poet. Mr. Barmen first told us of the life of the poet and then read us a few of his poems on child-life. To give the audience some idea of the musical rhythm of a poem in the original, he read a few stanzas of A Stormy Night, which he followed by some love-poems. Mr. Barmen concluded his talk with a sketch of the school life of the pupils of Tagore, their dramatic ability, and the numerous clubs which they have formed. The fourth meeting was held in the hall on january 14, 1916. Ralph Bartlett gave a very interesting sketch of the life of Mr. Barrie. Then Jean Olmstead recited some selections from Barrie's famous story, The Little Minister and a pretty tableau was shown by Elizabeth Buffum and Chester Whelden, illustrating the meeting of Babbie and the little minister in the woods. Next Mary VVest sang a pretty little Scottish song. Rosalind, a one-act play written by Barrie, was then presented by Judith Matlack, Evangeline Huntley, and Geoffrey Baker. The performance was thoroughly enjoyed by the other members of the club. After the meeting, refreshments were served in the library. 117 1 NEWTON HIGH SCHOOL The fifth meeting of the English Club was held in the library on March 3, 1916. The speaker for the afternoon was Miss Bragg, the assistant superin- tendent of the Newton schools, who entertained the members of the club by telling some very interesting stories in her own charming manner. At present the club is busy producing the senior play which was written by two of its members, Judith Matlack and Evangeline Huntley. Upon the whole, the club this year has been a great success, and has enjoyed one of the most prosperous years in its history. 118 seminar lap S USUAL, the senior play was a competitive one. This year, it was written by Judith Matlack, '16, and Evangeline Huntley, '16, The cast was made up as follows: BREWSTER HAMILTON, an intellectual and conventional English in- structor about thirty years old Merrill Campbell ROY CHEEVER, a college boy, his frivolous and trying young chum Geoffrey Baker WILLIAM BROWN, the third member of the trio, a confirmed and timid bachelor, a famous craniologist and the hero although he doesn't know it VVilliam Fawcett BUD BROWN, a young husband F. Forrest Davidson MR. BLAKENEY, a nervous lawyer Albert Palmer HAWKINS, an English butler Bartlett Boyden A. R. PEMBERTON, a young aristocratic Englishman Ralph Bartlett MARGARET NORTON, a reserved and conventional high-bred young girl Jeanette Lawson LESLIE NORTON, her young sister, at times rather terrifying in her originality Judith Matlack MISS ANNE LANGDON, a cold and wealthy Spinster, aunt to William Brown Evangeline Huntley MRS. V. FARRINGTON, a society woman with plans for her daughter Hazel C arley VIVIENNE FARRINGTON, her daughter, a faithful shadow Catherine Patton GRACE BROWN, bride of Bud Brown Elizabeth Buffum ROSE WENTWORTH, sweet, highly refined, studious, young woman, friend and fellow student of William Brown Mary Isabel VVest This cast was trained by Miss Warner and Miss Carey, both of whom are indefatigable in their services. The play was produced on the twentieth of May in our Assembly Hall and was run off with the greatest of success. We are planning to devote the proceeds to the founding of an English Club scholarship. 119 BOYS' DEBATING TEAMS Boyden Clapp Campbell Fawcett Emery Baker Noble Daniels Bupa' 3lBehating Qiiluh CHARLES C. NOBLE, President MERRILL J. CAMPBELL, Vice President RALPH B. EMERY, Secretary-Treasurer HE boys' debating club was reorganized Cctober 18, 1915, after a room-to- room canvass by the officers, by which about seventy-five members were secured. Later the membership was raised to one hundred and eight. Debates between members of the club have been held on alternate Monday mornings. These have afforded much help and interest for all. Talks have been given by Mayor Childs, Mr. Thomas, ard Mr. Richmond. On October 22, 1915, the Boys' and Girls' Eebating clubs held a joint dance in the school gymnasium which was greatly enjoyed. I The trials for the two teams were held December 17, 1915. Of the number who entered, eight were chosen in order of their efficiency as follows: Noble, Baker, Daniels, Clapp, Campbell, Emery, Fawcett, and Boyden, the last two being alternates. The triangular league debate with Brookline and Somerville was held March 3, 1916, on the subiect, Resolved: that compulsory military trainirg should be adopted by high schools. The affirmative team, composed of Noble CCaptainD, Clapp, and Emery with Boyden as alternate, went to Somer- ville, and the negative team, composed of Baker CCaptainD, Daniels and Campbell with Fawcett as alternate stayed at Newton to debate Brookline. Both teams lost the decision. All members must feel that they were helped by the club, for, although all may not have had a chance to debate, they have learned something of the art of debating which is a great help to any man. 121 GIRLS' DEBATING TEAM M CC read y M Z1 sou Cooper Iieath Seavey Olmstead Miss McGill Huntley Girls' Eebating Qllluh EVANGELINE HUNTLEY, '16, President MARY SWITZER, '17, Vice President MARY I. WEST, '16, Secretary-treasurer Miss MARGARET MCGILL, Faculty Advisor HE Girls' Debating Club reassembled this year with about thirty members. It was decided that we should meet once every two weeks alternating with the Boys' Debating Club in the use of the Lecture Hall. We planned to fill up three periods with debates prepared by different members of the club, with business meetings or with talks given by various invited speakers. On October 22, 1916, the Girls' and Boys' Clubs united in giving a Dansant. This was not a money-making concern. Its purpose was rather to help us all to get acquainted and to let the rest of the school know that we were alive. It accomplished this aim, and, incidentally, gave us all a good time. On December 3, The Girls' Triangular League of Somerville, Brookline, and Newton gave a dance and entertainment to the Boys' Triangular League of those three cities, which was held over in Somerville. This also was a success. But our life has not been all play. We have also had some very profitable meetings. At one of them, Mr. Thomas spoke to us very interestingly on the value of debating. At another, Miss Richmond spoke to us on Debating and How to Put it Across . She told us of the little details and tricks of speaking which mean so much in public speaking. As this talk came just before the trial debates, it was very appropriate. The trials came on january 13, and were on this subject: Resolved: that a single tax constitutionally granted, would remedy the evils of taxation in the United States. Miss McGill, Mr. Stevens, and Mr. Ruff, the judges decided upon us with the following results: First, Evangeline Huntley, '16, second, jean Olmstead, '16, third, Mary Switzer, '17, fourth, julia Mason, '16, fifth, Marion Seavey, '16, sixth, Edna Cooper, '16. The two alternates were Louise Heath, '17, and Muriel McCready, '16. The teams were divided thus: Affirmative: Evangeline Huntley, Marion Seavey, Edna Cooper, negative: jean Olsmtead, Mary Switzer, julia Mason. We then separated to work up our material for the big Triangular Debate which came off February 18. Both teams lost, we are sorry to say, on account of elo- cution. Both the other schools have this training, and we hope to have it next year also. Right here we want to thank Miss McGill, our faculty advisor, for the thought, time, and pains which she has taken with the club this year. 123 GIRLS' GLEE VLYB Girls' Glen Qllluh HIS year's Glee Club was a large one, consisting of thirty-two energetic young maidens of the Newton Classical High School. The officers of the club consisted of one, a secretary, Margueritte A. McAdams, '16. Rehearsals have been held weekly, under our director of music, Mr. Horace VValton. The fruit of this labor is to be the presentation of an amusing operetta, The American Girl . This play was to have been given last year, but lieing igravoidably postponed, will be presented this year. Eva May Hope, an American girl, is traveling in England with her father, when he is called to Germany on business, and arranges for Eva, accompanied by her maid, to stay with his sister, Lady Melton, at Belford Hall. By some mistake, Eva arrives at Belford House, a summer school kept by Miss Carew, who is expecting a new pupil from Ireland. Eva arrives during the temporary absence of Miss Carew and soon discovers her error, but agrees with two of the girls to stay for a day and impersonate the Irish girl. This leads to some extremely amusing incidents, as Miss Carew, who is slightly deaf, is completely deceived. CAST OF CHARACTERS VERA BURDETT M.

It was decided at the first meeting, that only those who were taking their third year of German, would be eligible to the mem- bership of the club. Meetings were held every three weeks, and a most enter- taining and original program was always presented. Much credit is due to Miss Gwen for the success of these meetings, as she showed great interest in everything that the club undertook. Twice, during the year all German classes were invited to attend and a large number came. Upon one of these occasions, the Christmas meeting, Miss VValdmeyer gave a very entertaining talk on Christmas in Switzerland, in which she told some of her own experiences in that country. She also had the kindness to provide the whole club with German refreshments which were much enjoyed by every one. just before the meeting closed, German Christmas songs were sung. The Verein feels that much of its success this year, is due to the fact that it endeavored to have as friendly and informal a spirit as possible prevail at the meetings. Of course, every one had to talk German, and the members all agree that they have not only spent many pleasant hours at the club meetings, but have also learned to speak and like the German language better. This is, of course, the real object of the club. May the Deutsche Verein of 1916-1917 have as successful a year and as enthusiastic members as that of 1915-1916 had! 126 33. . 5. Qmcbestra UR the last few years there has been no school orchestra but, as there was an abundance CPD of unusual musical ability in the school this year, it was decided to form a school orchestra. Mr. VValton kindly consented to coach it. At the first rehearsal about fifteen reported. They were greatly handicapped at first by the fact that they had never played together before. After a few re- hearsals, however, they became accustomed to playing their different parts. A concert was given in the Assembly Hall in May. This was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by the rest of the school. All the members voted that the weekly afternoons which they had spent in rehearsing had been both pleas- urable and Profitable. W 127 CAPTAIN-F RANK EUGENIE HKYII MR.
