We did it 1- Northeast again won the quadrangular debate-and the Amherst cup. As last year was our first attempt at inter-high school de- bates we were not expected to .do much. But the other schools were pleasantly UD surprised when we carried off first honors. They were determined, however, that the baby school should be shown this year, that last year's victory was merely an ac- cident. But the youngster had some- thing to say himself about that, and the Northeast Spirit again won out. Our Northeast, as one of the other high school principals admits, is no longer the baby, Not only in de- bate, but in all the other school activi- ties, Northeast has more than held her own with the other schools. Let us notice the two teams for a moment. Every debater on both teams has had experience in inter- high school debating. Last year every member of our teams were in- experienced-and we won. It is not surprising then, that our experienced teams received the laurels this year. But wait! Who were the coaches? Mr. Nowlin and Mr. Apple. Of course, some of the credit for our victory goes to the individual de- baters, but if the teams had not been properly coached this account would be of a different character altogether. So when we think of our success don't fail to remember the i1'1Vi1'1CilO19 coaches, Mr. Nowlin and Mr. Apple. The question this year was: Re- solved, That the Single Tax on Land Values Should be Substituted for the Present System of Taxation in This State. While we were listening to lVlanual and Westport discuss the merits and demerits of the proposed tax system our affirmative team- Carter, Chapman, Sibley, Brown- were at Central busily engaged in convincing the Westport boys and the Judges fto the tune of 4 to lb that the Single Tax was the only sensible method of taxation. At the same time our negative team-Scarritt, Ewing, Combs and Fox-were on the Manual platform persuading the Central debaters that they were en- tirely wrong in advocating such a system as the Single Tax. Decision: 3 to 2 in favor of the negative. We do not have to be reminded of what happened when we learned that we had won the debate for the second time. We forgot that there were such things as classes and paraded through the halls cheering and yell- ing as only a thousand high school pupils can. V We are proud of our victories this year, but what we are most proud of is the Northeast Spirit, the spirit of determination and school loyalty that has made these victories pos- sible. Just so long as the students of Northeast High have this same spirit will she continue to win such vic- tories as she has won this year. . - - ...,,. . .-.,. -.-.....:..:.---v-.-... .. s .- . ... . ..,.

NOR'EASTER 69 O The New Quaclranguiar Debate. It has long been a subject of won- der that the girls have not had a quadrangular debate. Girls are, of course, preeminently fitted for that strenuous form of amusement. Per- haps, however, it was erroneously thought that they were getting suf- ficient exercise without special op portunity. The fallacy of this de- lusive belief has recently been ex- posed, however, and the girls' debate is now an established institution. If you hold this to be a miscon- structed thought, a natural error in the uninitiated report of a mere man, you have only to come to the assembly h-all of one of the schools about a year from the something or other of last April, and you will be convinced. The subject this year was Re- solved that the Massachusetts Ballot Law Should be Adopted in this State. There seems to be no doubt that it should, as all four debaters went to the affirmative. Let us hope to see the change made soon. But of the debate itself? As has been said, Northeast was as successful as any other high school, in that she got one decision. The girls who did this piece of work were Mary Redmond, Lucile Turner, Frankie Thompson, and Winifred Bennett. They were under the leadership of Miss Fox, and con- quered Westport at Central. A representative of the Nor'easter was present, and he is able to state, that the event was highly interesting, even to one wholly disinterested, which, of course, he was not. You may be sure the decision fell on grateful ears. I But at the same time our negative team, which consisted of Garnet lngalsbe, Eloise McNutt, Sarah Dun- lap, Eunice George, and Miss Adams, coach, was making things hum over at Manual. Likewise there was a Nor'easter representative .present at the ringside, who, dittoing the former writer, is able to state that the event was highly interesting- S0 highly interesting, in fact, that the a. ention of the audience was even diverted. from their lately issued 'M3HU3l1t6S,7 in order to watch the progress of this struggle. Round after round, we had the Massachu- setts Ballot Law, supported, derided, explained, and dissected until we all felt fully capable to vote any ticket whatsover on any ballot or labor sav- ing voting-machine patented in these later years. At the end of the first half we had la breathing spell, during which the Manual orchestra rendered a sele-ction. Then the rebuttals came thick and fast. Our girls used all their argu- mentive abilities, all their persuasive powers, all their artistic ideas, and all their womanly charms, but to no avail. The common people have not yet been educated up to the use of voting-machines and labor-savers. The only alternative for the judges to vote for was the Massachusetts Ballot, and this they promptly did. Thus did the debate slip away from us to Central. And thus did our hopes for another chance to cut our classes and celebrate become blighted. Now the excitement has given place to solid rest until next fall. In the meantime, Northeast will be get- ting ready for two victories in 1916. it is true that every member of the team graduates this year, but there are a number of girls, who tried out, remaining with us. After this pre- liminary experience, they should be the making of some able representa- tives of the school. It was also un- animously resolved by the teams that next year the question should be more evenly balanced. With this desirable innovation accomplished, with teams as strong as we expect them to be, with the same skillful coaches, and with this year's eXDeFiGHC6 'CO Plf0f1l: bv, the prospects for the second girls quadrangular debate are indeed bright, and we may anxiously await a breakin of the tie that binds the .93 four schools.

VIRGINIA HARRISON This story WOI1 the sold medal in the Literary Contest. Just what I want! Betty .mur- mured aloud, just the quotation I shall suggest for the class motto. I'll learn it right now. So she read aloud the following, until she could repeat it perfectly: I have done one braver thing Than all the worthies did: Y And yet a braver thence doth spring, Which is, to keep that hid. HelloI Bettina, a merry voice in- terrupted, What! Talking to your- self again! Really, I believe we'll have to send you to the asylum, 'cause my Physiology .... Please spare me this once, Cathy. I'm in such a jubilant frame of mind. I ran across a motto, but I shan't tell you since you refused to tell me yours. I told you I'd be revengedf' Betty replied, laughing at Cathy's feigned expression of despair. Are you trying out for the scholarship, Betty-ha-ha? Cathy asked. Yes, I have thought of a wonder- ful subject. I have some good ma- terial that ought to make a dandy essay. I Of course it will, smiled Cathy, reassuringly, and then she studied the walls seriously. Honored walls that are so laden with gold medals won by our most respected friend, or maybe your enemy, Miss Elizabeth Evington, don't you feel horribly proud '? ' Betty laughed. Florence is try- ing out, too, isn't she ? - Yes, I think so, Katherine re- plied. Curiously enough no one cared to say anything to either of the two girls about the other, although they were the most talked-cf girls in the school. Everyone admired clever Betty. She was jolly. She was by-11- hant. She had a remarkable memory and had developed concentration of the mind to a fine degreeg Her friends teasingly said that she was suffering from hypernesia. But Florence Loffard was loved by every- one. Gentle, quiet, thoughtful, and unselfish, she created the respect of all who knew her. But Florence was not brilliant. She plodded diligently along. She had tried out for all the literary events in the school and she had always failed. The University scholarship was the crowning event of the four years. The girl who won was regarded as the brightest girl in the Seminary. Florence was poor, while Betty was rich. The winning of the prize carried with it, to Flor- ence, an opportunity to go to the University, to Betty, the culmination of her success and the gratification of her most cherished ambition. The two girls had been rivals too long to be very good friends, although they bore each other no ill-will. Betty had always won, Florence had always lost. When Betty was left alone, she set to work on her essay. She felt that lt was good, that it was better than anything she had ever written. But back of it all, persisted the thought of the courage and persistence of little Florence. Betty felt sorry for her. She was a dear. What if she herself, had never won a prize? The fact was horrible. So, shutting it out of her consciousness, she determined to be. no more disturbed by such dis- tracting thoughts. In. her room, Florence was not writing her essay. She was writing what she called a blue letter to her always sympathetic and loving mother. Finishing the letter, she looked for an envelope, but discov- ered, to her surprise, that she had none. So she absently thrust it into . 9.-:wanna-,mfr an nw-. of ,er 'as Aut fy- nd of 'as tly :he the ity :nt 'on in or, ,ng or- the ion ion The ' to iey iad ays set hat ian But ght of for she The out ned dis- not :ing her ring she cov- had into NOR'EASTER 69 ner books, and buried her face in ner hands. Refreshing tears flowed The look of blank dispair departed. and, in a very few moments, she was ner cheerful little self again, re- sembhng the sun bursting forth oravely. and brightly after the rain, Her wistful face shone with new courage and high resolve. Gathering :ier books in her arms, she hurried down to the library. In an almost deserted corridor, she bumped into Cathy. Her books and papers were sent flying in all directions. To- gether they picked up the spilled ar- ticles. However, a piece of paper which had fallen in a corner was not noticed. Where are thou going, inquired Cathy, smiling. Florence was al- ways greeted with a smile. 'Tm going a-workin', ma'am, she said, replied Florence. That means to the library, I sup- pose. Well, so long. Success to you this time, Florence, called Cathy, as she climbed the stairs. Later, as Betty was walking down the hall, she saw a slip of paper. It contained these words, It's not fair. I've worked and worked. She always wins. She can go to college without winning the essay, and I can't. It isn't fair. It seems sometimes as if the one who does the least is rewarded the most. Betty read the note three times, and then let it slip from her fingers. Her thoughts turned to Florence. Did it mean that much to her? How awful it would be not to be able to go to the great University. She felt that much of her own pleasure in winning the scholarship would. be lost, if Florence could not go with- out the money. Probably Florence would win. Why trouble herself about it at all? But down in her heart she knew Florence would not win. The still small voice said, What does it mean to you-only the petty glory and praise of YOU? 35' sociatesf' She partly silenced her conscience by saying that lt meant more to her. Her famlly at home would be so disappointed, OF would they? .Her father in his last letter had said, It IS not the medals you win but the character you form that counts after all. What did it matter? She would leave it to the Judges, they were the ones to decide. However, the thought persisted. Florence ought to have it. Florence ought to have it. She tried to put it from her but the thought remained. She tried to convince herself that she could do nothing-but she knew she could. She could give it to Florence. It rested solely with her. She could exceed the word limit which would preventhher from winning the gold medal, but not the silver one. She couldn't do it. She said it over and over again. Why should she? It should go to the brightest girl, and if she were the brightest she ought to have it. She deserved it. She ought to have it. But had she? Laying aside all question of fairness, shouldn't she give it to her as an act of generosity? How Florence's face would shine and how her eyes would sparkle! It was in her power to bring about the realization of this mind-picture. She decided to write to her mother and father. Then she remembered the motto: I have done one braver thing Than all the worthies did: And yet a braver thence doth spring, Which is, to keep that hid. It may not be a 'braver thing than all the worthies did,' but at any rate, I'll 'keep that hid.' It might get out and how awful Florence would feel. She took 'out her essay andtear- fully and hastily wrote the four' pages that would prevent her from winning the prize. There! she sighed, that's done. It's a good thing I did it now for if I had waited I might have lost courage. At the night of the contest, the As- sembly Hall was crowded. The vic- tors were to be announced and the essays read. G , , The first prize, the principal an- nounced, is awarded to Miss Flor- ence Loffardf' I 70 NOR'EASTER The audience thundered it's ap- proval. Betty was happy. How could one help it when they saw Florence's radiant face! It had paid. The sight of her rival's happy face amply re- warded her. She felt doubly glad now that she had told no one of her sacrifice. It seemed more precious to her and how proud she Was to think that she had caused all this! When her name was read as the Winner of the second prize, the audience applauded louder than be- fore. Her friends expected a crest- fallen girl, instead of one Whose face was more beautifully expressive of delight than Florence's. It Was be- yond comprehension. But as Cathy said, later, Betty always had sur- passed all understanding. After it was gall over, the girls carried Florence in their arms to the banquet. As soon as possible, Betty escaped to her room. Presently, how- ever, the room was filled with girls who said that Florence refused to eat a morsel unless Betty shared with her the seat of honor. Betty Went. The evening was delightful. As they said, good night, Florence Whis- pered: I don't see how it happened. You are the brightest, dear, not I. Betty kissed her and said. The judges were right, dear. This Was the beginning of a great friendship. As she Wrote her home-letter tell- ing of her defeat, she Was smiling. So cheerful and satisfied was the letter, that Mr. Evington said, as he read it: She's a real sport. I'm proud of my little girl. Her character has been enriched. That is all that counts. As Betty lay awake that night, al- most too excited to sleep, she mur- mured softly: 'I have done one braver thing Than all the Worthies did: And yet a braver thence doth spring, Which is, to keep that hid! No one shall ever know. And no one did know. Peggy O'Rourke. J 7'V3'iTi 20 'r-i X as .!!? Q53 X g I fglgx ts ' nun h X L ' ' 4-'---Af-fa--.m-m 4...,.....,..,, .

Th1s.essay won the gold medgl 1n the Literary Contest. Imagination is the most important and, at the same time, least under- stood of any of the human faculties. If it is thought of at all it is consid- ered merely as a necessary evil, something which the artist and poet must have, but which, so far as any practical use is concerned, is nearly, if not wholly, worthless. But is this popular conception of imagina- tion one which may be accepted with- out reservation? It has been said that imagination is that faculty whereby man is enabled to live in the past and the future, the distant and the unreal. Then this being true, can we continue to think of imagina- tion of no value? Imagination is the slave of the ring, the genius of the lamp and a single turn or the merest rub will summon it to do our bidding. Would you be transported to the ends of the earth? Would you have a noble palace in a single day? Would you live in the past or the future? Imag- ination has power to alter the face of the world, to bridge distance, and to annihilate time. . However let us consider something of the value of imagination as it re- lates more nearly to our own lives. We first find imagination is .child- hood. Mothers of small children often notice that one child must be taught to play, must be led step by step into the spirit of the game and is never contented when alone. But to the child who possesses the happy faculty of imagination, all th1ngS unite to' interest him. He may W1Sh for companions or playm2JD0S, but lf he cannot have he is not at a IOSS. For him the world is peopled, and the limb of the old tree 'and the Old broomstick used for his lf1QI'S9, afei for the time being, realities. Th? voices of the wind and the songs 0 the birds whisper strange meSS-2395 'nt his rece tive ears as he wonders I O p . . a t and dreams. His fairy boo-ks are filled with strange impossi G stories. To him it is no that the birds and animalswtcziilliiiiiitvlli each other or that the lovely princess 15 ,tTa!1SDorted many miles in- the twmkllng of an eye transformed into an ugly Witch, to be restored to her former beauty by the kiss of the hero. Such happenings are no more strange tothim than that the verdant blades of grass burst their way through the brown soil of the lily Slowly unfolds its beauty before his eyes. As he grows older, beauties, unseen by others, are revealed to him. It is to such as he that the world. looks 3 and especially is this true Lin the higher and finer arts. Imagination is the life of all true art. Indeed we cannot conceive of a great painting or piece of sculpture with- out thinking of the wonderful power of the imagination which, guiding the artist's fingers as he' worked, brought into being the priceless treasures of a Rubens, a Velasquez, or a Michael Angelo. We cannot hear the awful thunder of a Wagner or the airy melodies of a Mendels- sohn without realizing that here the imagination was at its highest. Could a Paradise Lost have been written by a man without imagina- tion? All art must depend upon imagination for existence and with- out art the world be an empty shell indeed. But not alone to art, poetry and literature does this ma.rvelous power extend its sway! The scientist, the engineer, in fact, the constructive man in every line of work must use the imagination. Imagination is not therefore, altogether a decorator and embellisher, it is a creator and constructor as well. Wherever work is done on great lines or lives in constant service to mankind, the imagination is always the guiding and shaping power. It takes imag- ination for the architect, railroad and bridge builder to complete their 72 NOR'EASTER marvels of science and skill. It took imagination for Thomas H. Benton, standing on a rocky bluff in the midst of what was virtually a wilder- ness, to vizualize a great city. In other lines men like Edison, Tesla, Marconi, and Roebling have shown the magical qualities of imagination. What unimaginative mind could have any genuine appreciation of the ring theory of the universe, the nebular hypothesis, or the vast numbers and far-stretching spaces marshalled by the calculations of the astronomer. Again, let us consider imagination in work. One may,'i to quote from Hamilton W. Mabie, get out of hard work the satisfaction which comes from the consciousness of an honest endeavor to do an honest piece of work, but the work which inspires rather than exhausts, and the doing of which gives the hand more free- dom for the next task, must be pene- trated, suffused and shaped by the imagination. Then, since we have seen how necessary the imagination is to work in the higher branches of human endeavor, let us consider it for a moment as it relates to the mid- dle and laboring classes in their work. It has been proved that mono- tony is one of the principal causes of insanity. Then we may naturally ask, what shall the great number of workers do to retain their cheerful- ness and thereby their sanity? The hours of labor are long and money not too abundant, amusements, com- monly so called, belong to the rich and leisured classes, so the only alter- native remaining for the worker is to idealize his work, to think of it, not as a mere means of gaining a livelihood or eking out an existence, but as a-part of the beauty and music of creation. More than one man of wealth owes his success more to his imagination than to that practical sagacity which is popularly supposed to be the conjuror which transmutes all the baser metals into gold. Therefore, we see that imagination is essentially a practical. faculty. Then, on the other hand, let us con- sider the imagination from the point of view of its aesthetic value. To a man without imagination a flower is nothing but a flower, a stone nothing but a rock to be stepped upon. But to a man of trained imagination to the scientist, the simplest flower is a thing of wonder and beauty forever. It represents to him the working of the great forces of nature, it is a sign of the eternal spring. It brings to his mind, not the thoughts of a single flower, but the thoughts of millions of others like it and many other of different form but all pointing with sure sign to the existence of unknown and immutable laws. Again, does the stone in the hands of the geolog- ist mean nothing to him but a mere stone? Ah no! To him the dull stone is as an open book upon the pages of which is told the great story of creation and the whole history of the earth. He may even see the world as it will be. Then how much better it is to be able to find, with the immortal bard, Tongues in trees, books in the running brooks, Sermons in stones, and good in everything, than be one to whom A primrose by the river's brim, a primrose wasto him, and nothing more. . Then how wonderful is the imag- mation! Who can estimate its power and value? We begin with itg it holds its light over the play of child- hood, it must also be the inspiration of all toil and the shaping genius of effort -in any direction. Like an alchemist it can transmute, refine, transform, like the artist it can comfort and encourage, inspire and animate, and it can rejoice and con- trol. So mysterious, so superhuman 1S its .power that it hardly escapes suspicion of the Black Art. It is the motive power of civilization.

MAXWELL TAYLOR This Cration won the Gold Medal in the Literary Contest, As in the darkness of the night astronomers find some new star ris- ing in the heavens, so amid the dark- ness of struggle and strife has often risen some great man whose char- acter has shown as the very star of light in the gloom of war and desola- tion. In every great struggle some leader has always been found ready to uphold his idea of justice and right. Garibaldi struck for the free- dom of Italy. Gustavus Adolphus for the maintenance of Protestantism, and Washington for 'the independ- ence of America. And so in the most critical moment in our history, when the country was divided and brother was in arms against brother, did Robert E. Lee, with as great a love of liberty as ever inspired Washington, espouse the cause of the South and lead her armies for four long years. State sovereignty was the basis of the struggle, and belief in state sovereignty was not only inherited by Lee, but w-as nurtured by his sur- roundings, and strengthened by his training. In the history of the English race, there have been four great revolutions. In 1642 Cromwell fought for the liberty of the subject, in 1688 the Prince of Orange fought for the integrity of Protestantism, in 1775 Washington fought for repre- sentation with taxation, and in 1861 Robert Lee fought for the sovereignty of the individual state. And so, 1n- asmuch as Washington may be con- sidered a traitor to his country, so also may Lee. Lee ever lived with Washington as his model, and like indeed was he t0 his great predecessor, great in war, great in peace. Lee was ia. Stoic in that he was ruled by that 1nfleX1lO19 god, Duty. Never did thought of the future trouble him, he need only fol- low where Duty led. Had Lee been Regulus he would have calmly ,re- turned to Carthage, or as .Aristides would he have faithfully signed his Own name for banishment. All his- tory may be searched in vain for Lee's superior. He was Like Launcelot brave, like Galahad clean. All men know the story of Lee's campaigns. All recognize his genius as a gener-al. But great a general as Lee was, it is not in this that his true greatness lies. Military glory is so dazzling that it blinds most men. Beside the picture of Alexander con- quering the World, is Alexander carousing in Babylon. Caesar the Conqueror m-ay be admired, but what of Caesar the Conspirator? Stripped of their military renown we see these men at their true worth. It is not Lee the General, who is beloved by his people but Lee, the Man. ' Although Lee's enemies have in every way tried to detract from his fame by calling him 'a traitor, who that has studied his character can doubt that, as he led his army, Lee was inspired by the highest motive, love of liberty, who can doubt that, as Lee bravely defended Richmond, he was impelled by the voice of con- science? Following Lee marched thousands of gentlemen, true, noble, courageous, and the man whom they would follow even to defeat was surely great and sincere. Who can imagine the greatness of Lee? The measure of fa great general is not his ultimate success. Waterloo came to Napoleon, Appo- mattox to Lee, yet no greater generals e'er led an army. That Lee's was a pure and noble character is proved by the love and devotion given him by his whole army. It can be truth- fully said of him, Hln righteousness did he judge and make war. Lee W3-S, . . Caesar without his ambition, Frederick without his tyranny, Napoleon without his selfishness, and Washington without his re- ward. ---- - sash,-Q-os..-qnqhsoov-vu-Q---.L-..... -. -.4---....:...:4vm ---.

Of the many true and re - riots who have lived in diffgeiftcalgils some are remembered with rever: ence, others are forgotten. Wo h0T101' W3-ShiHg'tOD, John and Samuel Adams, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin, and many more as the founders of our Union, but we forget some who are as worthy of our ven- eration as are these. Of those un- remembered dead, the most devoted and the soonest forgotten was John Dickinson. Although to most of us his name means nothing, yet in service to our country he was one of the foremost men of the Revolution- ary period and the two succeeding decades. John Dickinson was born in Mary- land, in the year 17 32. When he was eight years old, the family moved to Delaware. The elder Mr. Dickinson had been a judge, and it was decided that John should devote himself to law. He took up his studies at the age of eighteen. After pursuing them for three years in America, he went to London. Here he entered the Middle Temple, and applied him- self with great zeal. He was so dil- igent that when he returned home in. 1757 he was as wise as many an older man. It is probable that his stay in London also gave him that unusually strong attachment to England that was to be so prominent later. On returning from England, he be- gan to practice law in Philadelphia, but was soon elected to the Delaware Assembly, of which he became Speak- er in 1760. From 1762 to 1765 he was a member of the Pennsylvania Assembly. This shift from Penn- sylvania to Delaware and back was in accordance with a common prac- tice. Pennsylvania and Delaware were under the same governor, and often interchanged public men. This close connection of the two stateswas the reason that Dickinson sometimes afterward represented Pennsylvania, and sometimes Delaware. i The beginning of his long period Of national service was in the Stamp Act Congress, in 1765. His first con- tribution to literature was the Dec- laration of Rights adopted by this congress. ' Two years later came the greatest of all his writings,-the twelve Farmer's Letters. These were articles signed A Farmer. In them Dickinson posed as a plain farmer in Pennsylvania. He set forth the grievances of the colonies, and urged the people peaceably to seek redress. He showed a deep love for England, but also made a strong protest against England's acts. Every gov- ernment, said Dickinson, at some time or other, falls into wrong meas- uresg' these may proceed from mis- take ,or passion. But every such measure does not dissolve the oblig- ation between the governors and the governed, the mistake may be cor- rected, the passion may pass over. .He concluded suggestively, however, that English history affords ex- amples of resistance by force. The constitutional relations between Eng- land and the colonies had always been very indefinite. Dickinson urged that they be kept so by a general spirit of compromise. This position was much the same as that of Ed- mund Burke, the English orator. And, indeed, some of the letters were fine examples of oratory. The arguments were very strong, and were expressed in language so pre- cise, so beautiful, and so cleverly persuasive that the letters met with a warm reception. So far as known, they were immediately published in all but four of the twenty-five news- papers of America. Thus they reached a large number of the colon- ists, and the great majority of their readers turned from them stimulated and aroused. Dickinson was greatly honored, and was regarded as second only to Franklin in literary ability. Nor was the influence of the let- ters confined to America. Benjamin Franklin was at this time in England. u 2 - 91lQ'!l1v0'-!'l'- f ' ' ' I 76 NoR'EAsTER Although not a friend of Dickinson, he held the letters so high that he arranged to have them reprinted in London. Many Englishmen admired them, and many railed at them. Lord Hillsborough, a member of the min- istry, paid them the compliment of his notice. He called them extreme- ly wild. They were also translated into French, and were much talked of. Dickinson was compared to Cicero. Almost the highest com- pliment that could be given was paid them in the notice and praise of Voltaire. Both in real merit and in resulting influence, the Farmer's Letters were the greatest American literature of the Revolution. Dickinson's only attempt at verse- writing was made about this time. He wrote a Liberty Song, and sent it to James Otis, who had it pub- lished. Although it became very popular, it was rather poor verse. One critic quaintly characterizes it as belonging to the truly stiff and ligneous variety of that article. For several years after this Dick- inson did nothing of importance. Meanwhile, his convictions were changing. He was beginning to realize the necessity of a separation from England. In 1773, Samuel Adams, an admirer of his writings, sent him a letter asking him to write in support of the Massachusetts Legislature. In reply Dickinson de- clined to uphold a position so ex- treme, but admitted that it seemed to him there could be no permanent and satisfactory settlement until the COIOHISS attained Hplacidam sub lib- ertctte quzetemf' This shows the state of. Dickinson's mind. It seemed almost impossible that George should persist in his determination to tax America when war was sure to re- sult. Yet he saw King George per- sisting and declaring that he would continue to persist: and Dickinson knew that George III was a man who k?I9t, h1S Promises. Nevertheless, Dickinson felt that, as long as there Waslthe slightest hope of an agree- ment on America's terms, every ef- fort should be made to reach that agreement. Accordingly, in the First Con- tinental Congress, he drafted a Petition to the King, very humble, and showing an earnest desire for conciliation. This paper was highly praised by Chatham, and utterly ignored by the king. George's ob- stinate mind seemed unable to grasp the fact that if he went half-way, he would find in the author of this petition a most valuable servant. It was however, against George's con- victions to go half-way, but he did go as far as to give General Gage per- mission to execute Dickinson. When the Second Continental Con- gress convened, Dickinson secured the adoption of a second Petition to the King. In it he was more in- sistent than in the first, but affairs had reached such a state that many people regarded the polite wording of this appeal with high indignation. John Adams called it Dickinson's letter. When this entreaty also was ignored, Dickinson became resolved upon a separation from England. Hereafter, he never disputed that independence must and would come. He now devoted all his time to pre- paring for it. In November, 1775, he was appointed on the Committee of Foreign Affairs, together with sev- eral other distinguished men, among them Benjamin Franklin and John Jay. He was chosen chairman, and as the head of the committee strove to secure aid from foreign powers. He also worked hard to unite the colonies. His efforts toward union led to his being appointed on a com- mittee to consider the subject. This was in 1776. The report of the com- mittee, somewhat changed, was after- ward adopted as the Articles of Confederation. Dickinson believed, however, that an actual declaration of indepen- dence should be deferred until the colonies were more strongly united and had secured foreign aid, These were the two things for which he had been working. Others, however, ' ' ' ' 'y'-'4 'f-M- ' ' un s- I ' Q ' 4-:A-Q-a-a aa. .-A .-e. .. ..-..-n...-.-.,.. . .- .-,. ..,e,,,, 7, .,,: .. ,-..,.. . A , V . - ,. . . . .. NoR,EAsTER 77 thought differently. The most prom- inent of these was John Adamg, ACC01'di11g1Y, Whell the question of a declaration was brought up in Con- gress in 1776, a spirited debate en- sued between these two leaders. Dickinson said that thc Congress was only an advisory body, and did not have the right to pass such a res- olution without special instructions. Granted, however, that it did have the right, such a declaration would not strengthen the country a par- ticle, While it would bring immediate war, for which the country was un- prepared. But when preparations should be completed, then let Amer- ica advance with majestic steps and assume her station among sovereigns of the world. But Adams argued that a declaration of independence would be but the statement of an actual condition, and that if the colonies did not take the step im- mediately, they would be conquered before they could. Robert Morris, of Pennsylvania, supported Dickinson in favor of postponement. The two, seeing that the great majority was against them, were purposely absent when the vote was taken. The other delegates from Pennsylvania, or the majority of them, voted for indepen- dence, and thus that state's vote was given for the measure. When the vote was taken, Dickin- son was on his way to New Jersey with a regiment of Delaware militia, in which he was serving as a private. Therefore he had no opportunity to sign the Declaration then, but.d1d so afterward, and supported it .un- waveringly. In a letter to a friend he said he could conceive of nothing nobler than to die for the very dec- laration he had urged to be post- poned, since his countrymen had adopted it. He was again 111 the army during the summer of 1777, fighting in the battle of Brandywlne on the eleventh of September. .In October he was made a brig-adlef' general. The next June .he once ITIOTQ saw service. His DOSIJUOU OH the Declaration had been misunderstood, however, and he was voted out of Con res d ' - 8' S, 3-D .made to give up his army commission. At the same time, he lost a great amount of his pop- ularity, and it was never entirely Fegayned. In connection with his service in the army, it is interesting to note that he was the only member of the Congress that adopted the Dec- EQFSIOH who ever defended it in the ie . In 1779, he regained his seat in Congress and served that year and the next as a representaitve of Del- aware. In 1781 and 1782 he was Governor of Delaware, and from 1788 to 1785, President of Pennsyl- vania. In 1786 he was sent from Delaware to the Annapolis Conven- ion. - The following year he again came into national prominence in the Fed- eral or Constitutional Convention. Coming from Delaware, he stood very obstinately for the rights of the smaller states. He was the author of our method of electing senators, and was probably responsible for the adoption of equal representation in the Senate. He was also on the com- mittee to recommend the powers Congress should have over com- merce, including the slave-trade. This was a very important position, as the feeling on the slave-trade was extremely tense, and it was feared that some of the colonies might not be satisfied with the decision con- cerning it, and refuse to confederate. Although the details of the Com- mittee's reports were changed, the convention adopted its general prin- ciple-that the trade should not be prohibited before a certain year, and that each slave imported might be taxed. Dickinson also stood for a number of provisions favoring the aristocratic class, but they were lost. It is most praiseworthy, however, that John Dickinson was a man who was always willing to accept the judgment of the majority. Although the Constitution was far from Just as he would have had it, yet as soon as it was formed he began to write, ---- -n--1-A-sr..-..-.6 ' e-- -g........-.1.v.,q4--.f..:.,zLv-v-,- 'I ' 91.1911 ' l 78 NOR'l-EASTER urging its adoption. He published nine letters over the D911 name Fabius that had great effect in this direction. It was probably due to him that Delaware and Pennsyl- vania were the first two states to ratify it. The writing of these letters was his last valuable service. He did indeed write .five more Fabius letters, in which he en- deavored to promote friendly feeling toward France, but they were com- paratively unimportant. He died on February 14, 1808, and was buried in the Friends' Burial Ground in Wilmington, Delaware. There seems to be a strange coin- cidence between his dying on St. Valentine's Day, and the scantiness of the love he has received from his countrymen. For he deserved their warmest remembrance, both for the What l Saw of lnterest in spirit he displayed and fO1' actual services rendered. HQ WEIS the author of the greatest literature .of the American Revolution. He in- spired the people to demand their rights. Prejudiced -he may have been, and defective in many ways, but he was also great in many other ways. It is not probable that the absolute control of either Dickinson or Adams would have gained the freedom for which they were both striving, but through the opposition of the two, and partial control of each, there came about the desire of both. After America was free, Dick- inson's unselfish and untiring labors were of great use in forming the Union. The servant is forgotten, but an enduring monument to the ser- vices is found in our great and prosperous nation. - the Manufacturing Parade and What ls the Value of Manufacturing in the City. GRACE LIGHTBURNE This story won first prize in the Manufacturers' Essay Contest. The opening of the New Union Sta- tion gave the people of Kansas City the opportunity to acquaint them- selves further with the industry 'of the town through the Manufacturing Parade. Out of the one hundred and fifteen exhibits, those that seem- ed to be of the most interest were: The Ship of Peace and Prosperity, built out of galvanized sheet steel, by the Butler Steel Manufacturing Company and a miniature reproduc- tion of the New Kaw Bridge, bulit by the Structural Steel Company. On the bridge were electric lighted min- iature street cars. One of the most tastful floats was a car, beautifully decorated with chrysanthemums in a color scheme of yellow and white, presenting Dream Kiss perfume. This is manufactured by the Faxon, Gallagher Drug Company. The National Biscuit Company showed a miniature reproduction of their fac- tory, built out of their fancy cake boxes. They also had a float pre- senting their Zu Zu cakes. Very jauntily dressed Zu Zu men treated the crowd to boxes of these delicious cakes. One of the largest exhibits consisted of two hundred and eighty barrels piled so high that they barely .escaped the overhead wires. This float represented the Kansas City Cooperage Company. The Luce Trunk-Company showed the durabili- ty of their trunks and suit cases, by knocking them on and off the truck and handling them very roughly. The Cocoa-Cola Company had a very large following of little boys, who very eagerly helped themselves from the cases piled high on the wagon. The Swift and Cudahy exhibits were strictly sanitary with their white covered wagons and their immacu- lately clean looking drivers, clad also in white.

It takes manufacturing industries to make a town of importance and you will scarcely find a town of any size or consequence that does not depend largely on manufacturing interests for it's success. One of the first questions asked when making inquir- ies regarding a city's resources, is what it depends on and is it a man- ufacturing town and where you can reply that Kansas City is lar el bulltlup of manufacturing intergestbs 1l3.W1ll naturally draw attention to this Metropolis of the West and bring further manufacturing interests to thls CIW- .Ranking tenth in the manufacturing cities is something that we can well be proud of and ev- ery effort is being made to increase the gF0Wth of manufacturing inter- ests of this city. It is expected that within a few years we will rank not only as the most important manu- facturing city in the West, but also one of the greatest manufacturing centers in the country. The Musical Contest. U ELSIE FRISBIE Doubtless some of you have heard the wierd strains issuing from room 405 the past months. Had you asked the cause of these unusual outbursts of talent, you would h-ave learned that Mr. Chaffee and his faithful sup- porters have been Working. Did I say working? Yes, in the superlative degree. The object of this constant practice was to make the music de- partment of Northeast a successful one. May the seventh will stand in the memory of many as a day never to be forgotten. This strenuous day be- gan with a rehearsal at 7 :30 Cl-Early? Oh, nolb Although the practising continued until 10 o'clock, everyone will agree that it was time well spent. The sight-reading contest, which counted twenty points for the mixed chorus cup, took place at 11 o'clock. But the -contest began in good and earnest in the afternoon at Central. The four schools marched in, each singing its school song. When the strains of Thou, dear Northeast' rose in the air, every Northeast sup- porter seemed stirred with school spirit. Probably the audience did not realize it, but its enthusiasm really thrilled the contestants until they felt like singing. The points on which they were graded were as follows: Rhythm, atta-ck and cadence, enunciation and pronunciation, pitch, maintenance of tempo, general expression, quality of tone, and stage deportment. The Northeast Treble Clef Club won the cup given by the Kansas City Musical Club, with 98 per cent. Almost per- fect! The contest song- was Thistle- doWn by Chadwick. The Northeast Glee Club received the cup offered by the Schubert Club with a score of 94 per cent. Dudley Buck's On the Sea was the contest number. Cen- tral's mixed chorus, with Northeast as -a close second, scored highest on Day break by Faning, and received the cup given by the Carl Hoffman Music Company. The three judges were graduates of the famous school of technique in Linsborg, Kansas, the home of the oratorio The Messiah. The Music Festival consisting of the combined mixed choruses of 225 voices took place in the evening. Mr. Holmes remarked very cleverly that, although the choruses had been con- testing against each other in the af- ternoon, they would sing in harmony now. The boys Sang Oh H211 US, Ye Free, by Verdi, and Annie Laurie, arranged by Giebelg the girls sang a short cantata entitled The 80 NoR'EAsTER Garden of Flovversf' by DGHZHS .thf Well-known Building of the Ship, by Lahee, was sung by the combined choruses. Over one hundred contest- ants tried out for the special solos. Two Northeast girls, Doris Maj or and Elsie Frisbie succeeded in Winning solo parts. When the results of the contest were announced after the festival, it seemed that Central's auditorium was not large enough to hold the Northeast spirit. But if ever two cups were deservedly re- ceived, these certainly vvere. Many an hour had our boys and girls Worked faithfully with Mr. Chaffee. To Mr. Chafee much credit is due. Had it not been for his steadfast Work, noble example, and Wonderful ability, Northeast would undoubtedly not have Won. No one can ever knovv the amount of time and energy that he spent for Northeast. We are sincerely thankful for the interest and advice given toward the contest. Many people have discovered that the music department of North- east is as important as any other de- partment. It is earnestly hoped that by next year there will be ia portion of the Nor'easter known as the Music Section just as there is novv the Athletic Section. With this great help, there will be no doubt that Northeast will carry away the laurels again next year. To Prof. Reynolds from the Seniors. I 1915 A. D. MILTON EDWARD LAD1sH. We shall soon say good bye to that true nobleman, Who is ruler of the best school in the land, We should think of the Worry and of the care That Professor Reynolds has in ruling there. We should think of him with the greatest esteem, For under his guidance Northeast is supreme. When into the Whirlpool of life We are drawn, We untangle problems with both brain and bravvn g And so' has our beloved principal taught , Don't have a blemish on your body or thought. That is, go with Christians, have a good time, But never contaminate body or mind ! So when from Northeast's portals We go, Sin to one side We shall continue to throwg ' The higher and higher life's ladder We climb The louder and louder Will be this great chime Of stamping out evil and living aright So that lifes' battle We can properly fight! 'Tis only the good that ever more lives, 'So let's take this advice our princi- pal gives And spread it all over as far as We can To the uplifting of God's master- piece, Man. As a parting salute our respect We Day, To you, Mister Reynolds, the Man of the clay. 1- -4 - v - V. ....-.-.-- .-.a-. .-.a.-.m,x -- - . ,....,.,. ., - f 4-Q-Q-4-4-.QA-aug-.uuz....,..g.,-,-..,, , , C, if ax AES? xx Q 'I ...au-.,--.-a......-.-i-o----f-- ., Q... -Z Qigg 5 af 43 x 61- 451 fv,,4.,M .fx '- kr ? xmzff .. . ,I 7 MA f K 4 fi ay '75 , 5 ff pw?

The curtain of time has once more fallen and the basket ball season of 1914-15 is but a fond memory. And as We pause to look back on it, it must be admitted that Northeast has acquitted herself with glory and a record that no team could be ashamed of, for while, it is true we won no championships fcellar or otherwisel we did show that same never say die spirit which has al- ways characterized the play of the baby school, as the older organ- izations please to call us. Work started at once this year and along in the last part of September Coach Root issued his first call for inter-class basket ball tryouts, and this initial notice brought out about 135 hopes, all sizes and ages being represented. These he divided into two classes, namely 125 lb. and un- limited, and assisted by his last year veterans, ran them through their paces for a week or so and then each division was cut down to ten men and an inter-class schedule was arranged. Some exciting contests were staged, but better still Coach Root was able to pick a nucleus for the school team. As to the final out- come, the seniors were ever victor- ious in the heavy-weight division, but their little fellows were nosed out of the championship by the freshmen. Coach had now arrowed the school squad down to the first and second teams, who were composed of the fol- lowing players: Cap't Tyres, Tall- quist, Condon, Major, Swearingen, Moberly, Eppinger, Lane, Mentzer, Warren Stone, Pauly, Van Buskirk Williams, Fifield, Carr and Jackson. But the first game was now at hand, and it certainly proved to be a thriller and 'especially the last few minutes of play, for up to the last sixty seconds it was any one's game, but Westport had the necessary punch and pulled through with a three-point lead and a well earned victory. 7 The game was as good an exhibi- tion of basket ball as any bug would wish to see. Westport was off with a rush, but at the end of the second period our boys had overtak- en them and were leading 9 to 8. The enemy regained their lost ground in the third period however, and had a four-point lead at the beginning of the final session when our crew start- ed a whirlwind finish and it certainly looked like victory would be ours, when Wickline broke through for a goal, followed by a free throw, which spelled victory for the South Siders. The stellar work of Cap't. Ayres was the feature and while it is not evident in the box scores, he figured in almost every play. Talquist's free-throwing was also worthy of note, while Wick- line and Ritterhoff did the star work for Westport. The second game is a sad tale of over-confidence and combined with a break in the routine of training, the Central Champs had little trouble in taking us into camp by the score of 42-21. Swede was our only bright light, his agressive attack and free-throwing being the feature of the purple and white's offense. The Manual game gave us our maiden victory and incidently let us add that it was a strenuous struggle. While our boys rolled up no large score, they went at their task with that methodical precision which marks the play of every well oiled machine. Our team work was un- usually good and the whole team seemed to be on edgef' even Puny Swearingen managed to cage a goal. Swede and Cap't. Ayers fairly vied with each other for individual hon- ors, the former having a slight edge, due to a beautiful goal, which brought his total number of points up to 18. The work of our guards can not be overlooked, as they held the Crimson forwards to a single goal. The next two weeks brought forth two thrillers, both of which were de- feats, however, at the hands of West- 1 - A - - ---.. - -. .. .---.4 z.,.-. ...-.-QQ.-, Q.1iA4La-pagg?0qn-ua1.u-sa.L1-.4Q .N 1. ... -V . . . - - . . , ' -gi.

In E139 former game f'Irish Moberly, our freshman prodigy, broke into the box score and made firm his place with the regulars by annexing a goal, Swede cut loose again and after watching him play tag with the guards of the Hoope's aggregation, we found that he had chalked up five perfectly good field goals, and also had 12 out of 14 free-throws to his credit. In the game with Young's machine, Mickey Condon gave the greatest exhibition of defensive work seen on any court this season, by holding Milt Singer, the Central Star, scoreless in the second half and allowing him but two goals during the whole game. However, we've always known Mickey was of All- Star caliber. Eppinger also played a good game, holding North of the Blue and White team, who many consider the fastest man in the league, to no goals in the last half and when we consider that it was Ike's initial performance, his work seems more wonderful than ever. Another game with Manual and this time we certainly rolled up the score, defeating Selvidge's black- smiths to the tune of 40-19. Mober- ly and Cap't. Ayres counted four goals each and Swede not to be out- done by his team mates, netted five. February 19 will ever mark the day of the most cherished victory of the season, for upon this eventful evening our boys took Westport into camp by the score of 41-37. This game was a decisive one .for the Southsiders, because to drop it meant that their pennant hopes would be shattered, and accordingly they fought with tiger-like fierceness. Time and time again the Westport forwards would try to work the ball toward their goal, only to. have their team play smashed in mid-court. by Big Ayres or the ever-valient Mickey. Six times our B1011d Swede tossed the pigsk1n.throL12'h the netting, sometimes working it UD to the goal by short passes to his team igiates, sometimes by a brilliant drib- f ef and SUM 323111 by snapping it in rom the center, but always with the same result. It Certainly was a beautiful game from every angle. The defensive work of Condon was a little short of marvelous- CRDUC. Ayres figured in CVGFY 'Beam play and his floor work was the best seen this year and Tallquist fairly went wild under the basket, yet the editor hesitates to call these players stars, owing to the equally good work on the part of ev- ery man on the team. We were cer- tainly going at top form and there was no doubt in the minds of any of the spectators but that the best team won. The next game with the new Champs, our team suffered a reverse in form, losing 33-26. The last game of the season was played with Manual and it certainly was a good clean, close game and more than once in the final chapters the crowd that supported both teams held on to their seats and breathed heavily. But when the old 44 finally went off, the Purple and White root- ers rose as a man and joined their voices in a peon of song to the heath- en God of Victory. So in conclusion we can easily see why nearly every member of our five was picked for one or the other of the All Star fives. One can hardly think that our team without Cap't. Ayres, for his offensive and defen- sive work have been a feature of our game this year and combined with his aggresive spirit and wonderful team play, he must certainly be branded a Stain Condon's work for the season has also been a marvel to the critics and owing to his perfect exhibition of defensive play in the Westport and Central games, they were forced once more to place him on that Mythical All Star aggregation. Tallquist's work has been unusual and his stellar work as a free-throw- er, would earn him a place on almost ,--.-.u -5-..-.x.np 90 NoR'E any team. Swede has added ag- gressiveness to his other numerous virtues this year and combined with his goal shooting, he more than de- serves all the honors heaped on him by critics and coaches alike. He also had the distinction of leading the 2d All Star five. The loss of Swearingen, our big guard, in the beginning of the sea- son certainly hurt our pennant hopes, for his aggressive play up to this time had been one of our features. The work of Little Majors was certainly a revelation to us all and he more than made up with agility and brains what he lacked in brawn. But the work of our two new men, Eppinger and Moberly has been the real feature this year and both have distinguished themselves by good consistent play, and around them Coach should build a good machine for the coming year. The work of our scrubs cannot be overlooked, for these boys, lead by Cap't. Ment- zer, have indirectly been responsible for our success and many of them should be of first team caliber next year. However, the student body owes a vote of thanks to two members of the faculty who have worked faithfully 18?-- ASTER for Athletics of every kind at North- east this year. The first of these is our manager, Mr. J. L. Spitler, who owing to his never failing good nature and ability to assimilate work, has made himself as sucessful and popular a manager as we have ever had. And last, but not least, is our own Coach Root, who has put this school athletically on the map. He has been the stearnest, yet kindest of masters, the kindest and fairest of friends and to the endless number of nights and days that he has spent in labor for his team, we may attri- bute our success. And we, the stu- dents and faculty believe in him and feel sure that he will always be as successful and popular in his work as he has been this year. Box Score of Season L L L Name. G. F. T. F.

The track season of 1914-1915 has certainly been a glorious one for Northeast and every student can and should think of it with pride. Long before the Basket Ball season was over the veterans of last year's team, along with a few of the then most promising hopes, began to try out their stiffened muscles and limbs cramped from the six months of idle- ness, in the preparation for the long siege of hard work and strict training which they knew was to follow. The first indoor meet, the K. C. A. C. invitation, found our team in rather a crippled condition but in spite of all obstacles we managed to make a good showing and Coach Root was thus able to get ia line on his men. George Coffin, and Amos Vaile scored our points on the track, while Scarritt and Wood managed to annex one in the high jump. The K. C. A. C. classic seemed to give our boys the required pep and by the time the K. U.-M. U. Meet arrived they were wise to the fa-ct that Basket Ball was over and Coach Root could give them his undivided attention, and to hard work on the part of the team. Our sum total in points amounted to 21, which bet- tered our nearest rival, Westport, by four points. The first event brought our rooters to their feet with a roar as Pretzel Schwarz pulled down second in the 50 yard dash and was beaten to the gold medal by a scant foot, while our freshman wonder, Bennett, finished just a stride behind him. ln the quarter, Vaile ran a wonderful race, finishing a good sec- ond to the invincible Selbie. The 880 yard run was our banner event and by far the prettiest race of the even- ing, Shubert of Westport leading un- til the final lap, when Murphy and Coffin gradually forged ahead, fin- ishing in the order named. Our relay teams both finished second. The indoor season being over, Coach issued his first call for inter-- class track and for ia week or so was fairly swamped with aspiring ath- letesf' Finally, however, he suc- ceeded in bringing order out of the chaos and some exciting races were won and lost. The Sophs walked off with the championship, defeating the Seniors by -a point. But the real good derived from this work was the fact that Coach was enabled to pick his Quadrangular entries, and, too, al- most every fellow in school could get the benefit of this work. The first outdoor meet of the sea- son was High School Day at Colum- bia, held under the auspices of the State University. Coach took only the probable point winners, consist- ing of an even dozen men: Captain Condon, Ayres, Talquist, Murphy, Coffin, Schwarz, Lovelace, Bennett, Scarritt, Foster, Vaile and Wood. As to the result of the meet we made a very creditable showing, finishing sixth. Our two hard luck races were the 50 yard dash, and the one-half mile, for in both of these the dop- sters had given us points. In the former race, neither Schwarz nor Bennett placed, owing to poor draw- ings, while in the latter event, Mur- phy, our distance star was accident- ally tripped at the start. It was an unusually large field and Coffin was boxed, and while he made a valiant spurt, the best he could do was fifth. NOR'EASTER 95 Talquist and Scarritt furnished a pleasant surprise in the 120 yard hurdles, winning second and fourth respectively. Our medly relay team ran the feature race of the day, de- feating teams from every big school in the state. Lovelace finished fourth in the 220 and Wood tied for third and fourth place in the high jump. Our one-half mile relay team, Wood Bennett, Lovela-ce and Condon, fin- ished fourth. Two weeks later the best classic of the year came off, the Quadrangu- lar, and after several weeks of dis- pute the powers that be decided that Westport was the real winner, and the Purple and White was forced to give up the Michigan Cup. The work of our team as a whole was little short of marvelous, especially that of our little fellows, who cleaned up in almost every event 5 and our show- ing showed what hard work will do. 7 The season closed with the K. U. Invitation Meet in which we fin- ished second. All of our fellows made good. Schwarz took fourth in the 50 yard dash and third 'in the 1005 Vaile finished third in the 4403 Murphy first and Coffin third in the 8803 Scarritt tied for second in the pole vault, and Wood tied for third and fourth place in the high jump, and ran fourth in the 220 yard low hurdles. Our relay team also won a place. In conclusion, let us commend the work of the team as a whole. It has been an unusually well balanced one, and its success has been due to hard work, rigid training, and the good work and advise of Captain Condon, Manager Spitler, and Coach Root. To Coach goes the real credit for our suc- cess, for through his tireless efforts and guided by his watchword work ! our team has come through, winners. x - mfs r r use W . , fm' V W k-75 96 NOR'EASTER Score of Quadrangular Meet.

SEPTEMBER SO, on the eighth of September, N-ortheast's first real school year opened! Oh, of course, there was last year, but the most of it was spent in afternoon sessions in another school's building, so that there was very little time or opportunity for school activities. But this year- what infinite possibilities of achieve- ment and success lay before us that first day! We that were Seniors envied the veriest freshman, with his four years of Northeast yet before him. And there was such a lot of them, you know-five hundred and seventy-six. Why, we were fairly in- undated with Freshmen. They blocked the halls, bobbed up any- where and everywhere, and with un- holy joy we watched them go up the wrong side of the stairway! We had done it ourselves such a short time ago, you see. Probably, the Powers that be thought our spirits needed dampen- ing, for the very next week it rained torrents. We spent the larger part of two or three days looking out the windows, seeing when it would stop. Northeast's various clubs re-organ- ized, too, and weird and diversified were the sounds that emerged from room 208 and thereabouts, where the Alphas, Shakespeares, and Debaters separately congregated. The disputes of Jacques and Fritz burst forth anew and to supply the needed neutrality the Spaniards organized. The song- birds, also, began to warble and club- life went peacefully-comparatively -on. The best part of the month to many of us-especially the boys CS-21109 Old jokelb-was the day the luI1Cl1-P00111 opened. No stools! So we sat on the tables, held a sandwich in one hand, and a dish of ice-cream in the other, and had a joyous time. The lunch- hour after the stools arrived was dreadfully tame compared to th0SG first few days. Then on the twenty-eighth of the month, we had our first Assembly, with Doctor Munro. We chose our own seats, and had a beautiful time. The Assembly was opened by the school, with the singing of the school song, and its impressive strains gave many of us a new thought of, and love for, Our Northeast. OCTOBER The first month of school over, we settled down to real work, hard as it was those warm-not to say hot !- dreary, October days. Athletics com- menced to thrive and the very first murmurings of the basket-ball season reminded us that there was such a thing as winter and inter-high-school basket ball games. Some of the B. B. aspirants took time by the forelockj' as the old saying goes, and began their efforts towards the attaining of those coveted N's. The various Societies showed their activity by their initiation of new members, and a great many stunts -funny, freakish, or foolish-could be attributed to this method of vary- ing the monotony of school-life. Many a seemingly unexplainable incident, or accident as the case might be, was understood by the spectators when the word initiation was murmured in their ears. l Oh, but it was hot! And those awful two blocks to the car-line seemed at least the length of a coun- try mile when one gazed down the expanse of hot asphalt from the cool shade of our corridors. Walk home? -and melt? I should say not! Even if one was perfectly willing to do it, and started out with the best inten- tions, those two blocks effectively squelched the idea. And most of us were perfectly willing to do most anything those days. We had a superfluity of will- ingness. We even had an Assembly there addressed by Mr. David R. .--..- -.- -- -..,--..-- 5 -.aw-. .. -..f-- 'I l l1'l1'l'111ll5W'f . -4 -4 100 NoR'EAsTER Porter. All of us that had ever heard of Mr. Porter remembered his athletic ability only, and his talk on What Am I Doing With My Will surprised us greatly. We all resolved then and there to do something wonderful, to prove we had such a thing. NOVEMBER On the second of November, the school seriously put its brains to work to elect a Nor'easter Staff, and had quite an exciting time for about a week. First we had the preliminary election and then the final one and distinctly placed ourselves in the suf- fragistic ranks, for the girls voted as well as the boys. Here in this volume is the result. We, the Staff, have done our best, we tried-and hope you feel our efforts have not been in vain! We enjoyed the twelfth and thir- teenth the best of all, for they were the days of the State Teachers' Asso- ciation meeting in St. Joseph, and the Faculty departed and left us to our own sweet wills for two whole days! Besides, we like holidays. The first hints of 'fthe worst is yet to come were given to us by the ten weeks' grades, but they did not go down on the books at least. Whoever originated the practice of not check- ing up the ten weeks' grades certainly deserves a vote of thanks from the entire student body. He, or she, is probably the savior of the greater part of the school. But, at any rate, it did serve to remind us that there were such things as grades and cards, and so we made another set of resolu- tions, and began to try to keep them. There was considerable talk of college in Assembly, during that month, and it made the Freshmen realize that there was something greater than a high school, and caused the Seniors to seriously think of what they were to do after that long- looked-forward-to month of June, which at that time seemed -only less far away than the end of the world. Dr. Decatur addressed us in Assembly on What the College Offers, and On Missouri Day we had the pleasure of listening to an address by President E. Ross Hill. Then, too, there WELS music by the University Band. The last of the month occurred the Conference of Misso-uri's Older Boys. Four or five of Northeast's boys at- tended the conference, and Henry Fox was the delegate from the High School Club. It rather seems to us that anybody who will give up a holiday and a Saturday to attend a conference has more self-denial than we give ourselves credit for. At last came the Thanksgiving holidays, and their accompanying necessities, and also the two days' vacation-one day in which to con- sume unlimited quantities of good things, and the other day in which to regret it. DECEMBER Back to school again. And in many cases a sadder if not a wiser man C?J began December. No, not always man did everything, for the Alphas refused to leave us in peace and quiet any longer and burst forth in their annual play-though to be sure, after all that wasn't an entirely manless production. All that could be seen of him, however, was his voice Cseen' did we say?J and that was consider- ably more in evidence three, days afterwards at the yell-meeting. At the aforesaid meeting, either on ac- count of their lung-power or extreme gracefullness, we've never been able to decide which, Rex Bone, Joe Schwarz, and Nathan Scarritt were elected cheer-leaders. Will we ever forget that yell-meeting? Ever for- get some of the extremely diverting scenes of that afternoon? Nay, verily. We have decided suffragistic ten- denciesl This fact was impressed upon us anew by the announcement that there was to be an Annual Girls' inter-High Debate just like that of the ooys'. Those of us who thought, Just thought, that they could orate - . - . -. . v.. .. .- .

In- deed, nearly every morning some de- bate or other could be seen in full f01'C9 -'EUHOTIQ H group of girls, and when it came to club meetings and elections-phew ! Athletics came more prominently forward and, with the selection of the first squad and the election of its captain, we suddenly realized that we had such a possession as a Basket Ball squad. Tommy Condon, Leo Ayres, Morris Majors, Hughie Swearin- gen, Ike Eppinger, Cecil Moberly, and Harold Tallquist made the first team, and Ayres was made their big chief . We waited very impatiently all through the month to see them play, until Christmas and Christmas pres- ents began to absorb the most of our time and attention. Study Hall be- came almost a sewing circle, and at lunch several industrious damsels tatted away very industriously. About that time the girls' fourth hour cooking class decided they would try out some of their produc- tions on the Nor'easter Staff. So they sent us invitations to their luncheon quite formally and we ac- cepted in a body. It certainly was good and we never can sufficiently express our appreciation. We .only hope they will do it again before the end of school. The first number of the second volume -of the Nor'easter Cinspired perhaps by that gorgeous feast Jm made its appearance, and the Stafi waited in fear and trembling till the Christmas vacation gave it an oppor- tunity to make good its escape. That number was quite ia novelty in some ways. It possessed-for the first time at Northeast, and, as far as we know, for one of the very few times in high-school history-a cover which was drawn by a masculine artist, in this case, Don Branstetter. And lt was a very good cover, too! In celebration of the aforemention- ed publication, the very next. day school was out early, and the holidays were upon us. Only a week, butlhow many things we did crowd into it! JAN UA RY . Again we began the month by com- ing back to school-peculiar, wasn't it? Our consciences were unusu- ally active under the stimuli of new resolutions only four days old and we did begin the New Year bravely. Daily lessons, the various debates, and even the far- away Contests were to fall before our assault! Our minds were somewhat districted from every-day school life by a basket-ball assembly and its attendant joys. The first appearance of the cheer-leaders on our stage also added to the general excitement, and incidentally, noise, for we certainly did awake the echoes. But the honor of having an Assembly for them- selves alone seemed to excite the news of the members of the team, for that same day saw our first defeat by Westport, by three measly points. The Single Tax! Did the aspirants in debate think of anything else dur- ing those strenuous weeks before the tryout? From personal experience we would emphatically declare that they didn't. They mechanically went through the usual routine, but their minds were on that awful question and it was a relief to everyone of us when the final choice was made. Cur minds were finally made up concern- ing the reason for the existence of N. S. D. when we realized that every debater was a Debater-sounds cryptic, doesn't it?-Carter, Scarritt, Chapman, Ewing, Brown, Fox, Combs, and Sibley. Only they, to the intense displeasure of some of our minds, became more absorbed than ever! On the fifteenth of the month we had our second club program of the year, that of the French Club. We also had another chapter in our series of Tableaux-We do have them quite frequently, don't we-and two very pretty dances, and we all enioyed it immensely. But, oh, what an after- math. Exams! How wearily did the hours lag during those three long- drawn-out days! But we had a re- action on Friday, January 22- Let . -igixffg- -....----- -- 4.454--.....z4f1 f- --- 102 NCR'E every loyal Northeast student re- member the date-the date of North- east's first basket-ball victory. .That compensated for almost everything! Westport did it again, however, and our joy was short-lived. Why, oh why, did that gun insist in going off just when it wasn't wanted. If it had waited just a moment longer, who knows, but that perhaps we might have had another victory to add to our much prized one. But, yet, such is life! FEBRUARY That month of Valentines, cherry- trees, and Presidents came in on the wings of a snow-storm. We certainly did get tired of snow -and slush, and the two awful blocks to the car-line looked even longer than they did in October, which is saying a great deal. But that's all concerning the weather, for we have something more import- ant to talk about. For again the weaker sex came to the front with the final results of the Girls' Debate. The winners were Mary Redmond, Frankie Thompson, Lucile Turner, Eunice George, Eloise McNutt, Winifred Bennet, and Sarah Dunlap. From personal combat we knew that several of these girls were energetic debaters-no, we're not talking of HN. S. D. not at all, nor are we mentioning the Shakespeares -and therefore had strong h-opes for their success. And yet another defeat. This really grew to be quite monotonous. From some unaccountable reason our classic phrase chronicaling this event, oh, luck, where hast thou went! was changed to oh, luck, 'where hast thou gone ? Imagine! It really was one of the jokes of the school year, but so very few people even say it! The quality in question came back for awhile when we again defeated Manual. At least there was one school we could humble, and that at least was balm. Essay. 6SSays, a deluge of essays, ASTER both of the S. A. R. Contest and of the Manufacturers' Parade Contest. Grace Lightburn and Irving Brown carried off the various honors of the events, and again we won .the Sons of the Revolution Essay prize. Yes, history repeats. Yes, we downed Westport! And no one who was there will ever forget the perfect bedlam that ensued when that four point lead materialized. In fact, we almost went crazy. Just. to have had that opportunity of evening old scores was worth the whole string of defeats. We have ideals. Yes, really! You see, we discovered it in Assembly when Mr. Swift talked to us about them, so we must have had some to raise, Really, we were very glad to discover it. Enter, March. . MARCH March was sure some month! It began with an Assembly conducted by Mr. Nowlin and contained several exciting events. In the aforemen- tioned Assembly we dreamed peace- fully throughout the history of J-ohn Dickinson, as read by our friend Irving, and then were rudely awaken- ed from our slumbers by those ever- present cheer-leaders. We excused them that time, though, for we re- membered that the next basket-ball game would be their farewell per- formance. They exercised their privilege in full that night and the season ended in hearty cheers, for again did Manual go down in defeat. CWe say nothing of the closeness of the score!! The German Club gave a belliger- ent Assembly the eighth, and the gold maids -our two Elsies-per- formed. Who would have suspected that they, of all people, would have been cast for those parts? They seemed to enjoy our astonishment greatly, and we have our suspicions. We, the audience, had a beautiful time watching Joe's mustache, and what thrills went through the feminine por- - -..... . ..,., an-.., -,,-.x- qhn..4- V Y Q F V 1b xan.gxQ2.g.4-n1-- , . ... .. . . . NOR'EASTER tion of the audience when they Saw r'retzel's adornment! March was a month of athletics- chiefly mental ones, but presaging the absorption in physical ones. On the twelfth at the Missouri-Kansas Meet the first whisper of the cinderpath came when we defeated Westport. Do you know that our trophy-case is get- ting a more prosperous look? lt cer- tainly needs all the aid we can give it. Some mental gymnastics came through the Latin Play-even if it wasn't in Latin. It certainly was a classic-classy? Nay, that's slang. Perish the thought !-production, and Garnet and Clayton nobly sustained their reps, But, oh, that Friday! The Inter- High Debates, you know, when we went absolutely crazy! For our boys went to Manual and Central, and completely routed Westport and Central. The turmoil they left be- hind them at the other school when it was all over, however, was as noth- ing to the excitement that awaited them here. We simply forgot all about mere school and prosaic lesson time and proceeded to celebrate the wonderful feat of capturing The Cup again. Long will that eventful day live in our memories! APRIL AND MAY For some reason that we have never been able to discover, the or- ganization of the upper class was left until very late, almost too late, in the year. But finally, after. we had all given up hope, the election was an- nounced, and the Senior class chose these officers: President, Nathan Scarritt, Vice-President, Mary Red- mond, Secretary, Adele .Ganley 9 Treasurer, Henry FOX! Glftoflanf Harry Davis, Sergeant-at-ArmS, Newlon Carter, Reporter, Luclle Turner. Of the entire g1'0UP, Henry Fox is the one who nas our sympathy Cwe've tried it ourselves!! The Juniors no sooner heard of the Senior election than they decided to 103 have one toon and almost at once proceeded to elect their officers. John Monteith was chosen President, Leah ratt, Vice-President, George Siblev, Secretary, Herbert Chapman, Treas- urer, Clayton Gordon, Gift-Receiver, Joe. Schwarz, Sergeant-at-Arms, and IFVIHQ Brown, Reporter. Between the various demands and duties of the two classes we had a strenuous time. Will we have it? w on't we have it? was on the lips of every Junior, and even the Seniors had an 'absorbed interest in it, Whatever it was, we seemed to want it rather badly. On the twenty-third of April oc- curred our second Northeast Day. CWhy not Northeast Night?,'J The greater part of April was consumed in preparing for the great event. and in recovering from the effects. The cooking and sewing classes worked perhaps the hardest, with the excep- tion of the Play Cast. The show consisted of a vaudeville performance, and the farce In a Sleeping Car, and there were quite la few side shows and other attractions. We brought our fond parents and various friends, exhibited ourselves, and other people, and all-in-all had a per- fectly gorgeous time. The Girls' Debate, while not entire- ly a victory for us, served to show us what our girls can do, and just wait until next year. We know all about the Massachusetts Ballot Law-we had two Assemblies on it! We also had an Assembly by the Shake- speares. Very laughable and amus- ing, the audience enjoyed it im- mensely. Now both the Alphas and the Shakespeares have given an As- sembly both last year and this one. We are always hearing about the one the Debaters are going to give. What happened to it? Athletics came on with a rush. The dual meet with Central, the Quad- rangular, the ones at Lawrence and Columbia brought them prominently forward. We have only one criticism, only one question. As the judges oi' these meets, why do they change their 104 NOR'EASTl-EIR minds so often? Last year the Quad- rangular was awarded in turn to three different schools, this year to two! Verily, it grows monotonous. However, we are still of the opinion that we have some team. The Second Annual Literary Con- test brought our minds back from out-doors with a start. This year N, S. D. dropped from its lowly posi- tion of last year and carried off the contest, while Alpha drew second place, the school-at-large third, and the Shakespeares fourth. Leland Shout in essay, and Maxwell Taylor in oration, 'won gold medals for the debatersg Dorothy Barto won the gold medal in poem and Virginia Harrison in story, for the Alphasg and Mary Louise Ewins won in dec- lamation from the school-at-large. The next day our track team journeyed to Lawrence and captured second place there. Well, its time to stop for this year, and, as usual, it certainly is warm! Seniors examinations begin in a day or so, and the Juniors are going to speed their departing friends and foes. Class day is June the fourth and graduation the tenth. Then its all over, and so is this. The Nor'easter Artists.

One day Miss Fox's fifth hour freshman class had a lesson on ex- planation. In the course of his re- citation, one of the brilliant UD members of the class made the fol- lowing too-true statement: If, in telling an cmtidote, we used the term 'conchologyg our hearers might not understand us.

The excitement of preparing for Northeast Day surely affected Miss Rumlack, or she would never have asked this question: Girls, have you enough nuts for all those dates ? In Business Correspondence, a young lady was asked what a circu- lar letter is. Answer- A letter that goes around. Mr. Parks asked a boy who had been conversing to the girl sitting near him to answer the question. Reply :- The salutation is two dots and a dash.

All scramble for hats and coats-that is all except those austere beings who are always to be seen promenading the halls, loitering on the stairways, etc., at any time after 1:55. Two o'clock! The crowd in the front hall becomes thinner, due to the proposed commencement of an Alpha meeting. The door of 208 is slammed just as Misses Winstead and Cooke slide in. Meeting starts with Miss Liddy passing around refreshments in the form of remnants of chocolate bars procured in the lunchroom at a low price because of their freshness. The programme is rendered. Miss Smalley tells the story of the Greek and Roman flower myth Sneeze- weed. A very hot debate follows: Resolved, Th-at There are More Knock-kneed Than Bowlegged Grass- hoppers. The decision is awarded the affirmative. Misses Frisbie and Nowlin are crowned with wreaths Cmade from the tops of the radishes, etc., grown in the Northeast gardenb, and take their seats amid much ap- plause, while the weeping of Misses Patt and Northrop is so distressing that the sergeant-at-arms is obliged to lead them from the room that the program may be continued. Next fol- lows an original poem by Miss Dun- lap--a poem which is so painfully original that Misses Harrison, Arnold, Thompson, Thurman and Ingalsbe show their appreciation trying on the hats and gloves of their dear Alpha Sisters. The programme is concluded with a hearty applause- appreciation again of the delightful entertainment just afforded. . Next follow reports of committees. The Committee on Investigation reports that Miss Sawyer's green Walst has been attracting much at- tention in the school, that Miss Win- Stead, early in the season, appeared with two new hats in one week, and that the castle bands worn by several of the members fit is inadvisable to give namesj have been much com- mented on. The Committee on vVays and Means then reports that a way has been found to provide the means for our annual lawn party. Much heated discussion follows. Misses Meinhoffer and Barto argue so long as to whether rambunctious- ness ever rambuncks, that the ser- geant-at-arms, in response to a ques- tion of personal privilege, is in- structed to use all available means of filling up the hollows whence are is- suing such discordant strains. The question next before the house is whether flowers or a note of sym- pathy and consolation, written on best Alpha stationary, would be most appreciated by Miss Rhodebush, who is indisposed. After much discussion it is decided that a personal note writ- ten by the secretary would be much more cheering than flowers. CNoth- ing, of course, is said of the treasury, since the recent rules have rendered it so prosperousl. Miss Allen appears just in time to tell why she was late last meeting. The Janitor appears with broom and bucket. A motion is made and seconded to the affect that the society give full sway to the powers that be in Northeast before and after school hours. Ere she who wields the gavel has called for the affirma- tive vote she is drowned out by much scuffling and the sound of moving bodies, and by the time -say no has come forth, she is confronted with an empty room save for the janitor who gazes on with mouth open. Who can wonder why! E.
