Northrop Collegiate School - Tatler Yearbook (Minneapolis, MN)

Text from Pages 1 - 226 of the 1920 volume:

X FOR JPZO TaILER. . This Tatler of 1920 is respectfully dedicated to Mr. John Crosby in appreciation of all that he has done to make Northrop what it is today and what it will be in the future. Foreword Into this account of the various activities that have taken place at Northrop during the past year, we have tried to instill something of the spirit and youth that went into them and made them a success —and something of that splendid ideal of womanhood which is the vision of every Northrop girl.

And the Senior class goes through; They g‘ from our midst to their futures With a purpose strong and true. Long they have worked among us. Guided us. played with us too; Our hearts are sore at the parting From these friends so tried and true. Always anxious to help us And guide us in work or in play. The best of pals we have found them. And we wish them well on their way. ()ur sincercst good wishes go with them ; May they keep on as they have begun! So here’s to the Seniors of ’20. We have loved them, every one. Here’s to the Seniors we love. Here’s to the girls that love us. May they always remember these school days with pleasure. And the friendships made here as a store-house treasure. To the Seniors: May they always be able to look forward with pleasure and backward without regret, but may they leave us with regret and meet us again with pleasure. May they be wiser today than they were yesterday, and to morrow than they are to-day. The Senior Class has the love of the whole school, the respect of all, the best wishes of all. and the deep regret of all who stay behind that they must leave us so soon. It is with heavy hearts that the time has come when Northrop must bid farewell to the Senior Class—the C lass of 1020. So here’s to the Class of ’20. May their fame pursue them far. And their luck abound in plenty In whatever place they are. I'ase !• • 1 «aw the curl of her waving lash. And the glance of her knowing eye: And then I knew she was out for a dash.

Page 57 Parents’ and Teachers’ Association of Northrop Collegiate School The Association aims to unite the parents and teachers in an effort to promote the best interests of the children by establishing high standards in connection with their education, amusements, and home life. The officers tor the year 1919—20 are: President................................ Mrs. G. K. Huntington 1st Vice President....................Mrs. Frederick G. Atkinson 2nd N ice President.......................Mrs. Leonard R. Welles Recording Secretary ............... Mrs. Walter S. McLaughlin Corresponding Secretary.......................Mrs. A. M.

Gage Chairman Home and School Relations..........Mrs. Chas. C. Bovey Mrs. W. X. Carroll. Chairman of tlu Associate Membership Committee, has extended an invitation to any who are interested in the educational program oi Northrop School, especially to the mothers of the girls who have already left the school, to become members of the association. 'Phe opening meeting of the year was held Saturday. November 8th. in the Dining Hall. Dean illian F. Russell of the College of Education. State University of Iowa, was the speaker. Dean Russell served during 1918-19 as special investigator of educational conditions and possibilities in Siberia, and told in a most interesting and instructive way of his work and of conditions as be found them there. After the address, a social meeting followed, at which refreshments were served. n Saturday. November 22nd, at 12:30 P. M. in the Dining Hall of Northrop School, the annual luncheon was held. Dr. LeRoy Arnold of I lamline University addressed the meeting on “The Literary Appreciation Fstablishcd through Early Reading.” After this helpful address. the guests enjoyed the book exhibit which had been arranged in the Library under the auspices of the Library Committee and the Faculty, with the assistance of Miss Ames, Supervisor of Children’s work of the Minneapolis Public Library. These book exhibits have become an annual feature of Northrop School, and are most helpful and beneficial to all who are interested in good reading for their children. Mrs. Corice Woodruffs exhibition of Mother Goose Reliefs was displayed at this time, and was much appreciated and enjoyed. The Library Committee has in mind many ideas for the improvement and extension of the Library, which is much in need of books, and not at all adequate to the growing needs of the school. Pane 58 s many requests had come to the school for a better understanding of the longer high school course for girls preparing to take the college entrance examinations, an evening meeting was arranged for Monday. December 15th. at 8 o’clock in the Library of Northrop School, at which time Miss Carse explained to the parents the scope of the modern high school course for girls, and of the relations of secondary schools to colleges with special discussion of the need of better co-ordination between the senior year of high school and the freshman year of college. ()n Friday. February 6th. the school celebrated its fifth anniversary since it was named for Dr. Cyrus Northrop, and in honor of the event, the Trustees invited the parents and teachers to a dinner which was given in the dining hall. It was a wonderful dinner, with turkey and ice cream, and all sorts of good things—music and singing and everyone most happy—There was. however. one great disappointment, dear Dr. Northrop was prevented from being one of the party, as had been promised when the invitations were issued. Mr. John Crosby, Miss Carse and Mr. Vclie laid before the meeting the growing needs of the school, and told of the new plans for expansion and improvement, which must be carried out if the school is to continue in the great work it is now doing. Mr. Velie inspired all with a keen desire to be of service and help in this great work which is to benefit every pupil in the school, and the money simply poured in faster than could be counted, until approximately $75,000 had been raised and the new building was assured. It was a tremendous success in every way, and the Trustees surely should be proud of their dinner! On Thursday evening. April 1st. Northrop and Blake Schools held a joint meeting in the Northrop School auditorium, at which time they were addressed by Professor Alexander J. Inglis of the College of Education of Harvard University. 11 is subject was “Needed Changes in Secondary Education and the Relation between School and College. The year's work will be brought to a close about May 21st with an annual meeting and luncheon, at which time the reports of the year's work will be given and the election of officers take place. Following this business an address will be given by Mr. V. F. Webster, Assistant Superintendent of Minneapolis Schools. It is planned to have the luncheon immediately follow the May festival given by the pupils of the school at eleven o'clock. Isabel B. McLaughlin. Secretary. AN APPRECIATION There's a feeling in our hearts for our school of ideals, There is joy in our souls tor the influence it weals, And a feeling of gratitude comes to us all For the building our parents have promised next fall. Pan 59 sa ' - L « C ♦ « w ‘ ’■ w - 4 Page 60 Northrop League HAT are these blue arm bands with letters X. L. surrounded by a square of white, that Northrop girls are wearing? Not a mere decoration but a reminder to the wearer and a symbol to all of what is deeply significant in the life of a Northrop girl. Northrop League stands for a pact between its members individually and collectively and between the groups which represent the varied interests of school life, for the promotion of common interests and for union and friendship in the larger sense. To accomplish the greatest good for all. League standards must be upheld by the square of honor, loyalty, service and self improvement. Our motto: ‘To thine own self be true. And it must follow as the night the day. Thou can’st not then be false to any man.” sums up for us the practical outcome of our ideals. We wish to live our lives joyously, steadily and consistently. We cannot do this if we form the habit of allowing ourselves distractions that destroy our physical and mental poise and render us unfit for the duties that must be performed day by day. Hence the girls who have joined the League have seen the wisdom of standing together in a pledge that promises to remain away from public places of entertainment and refreshment on school afternoons and evenings. Some of the girls of their own will are seeing the value of limiting week-end and holiday entertainments, of getting out in the fresh air rather than indulging in late hours and indoor pleasures. Our League has this year included only the girls of Seventh and F.ighth years and the High School. The younger girls of the School are looking forward t � the time when they may have part in the pledge, the activities and the awards of the League. Beside the effort to establish the ideals here set forth the League forms a kind of Federation of various associations representing school activities. These activities are grouped in sections known as Athletics. Dramatics, and Civics, the Student Government Association forming a larger group common to all the girls, and binding the school life together, the Tatler serving as the record and summary of all student interests. It is the federated aspect of the League especially that serves to draw together members of the Faculty and students. At least this is what those of us who started this movement hope for. A group of representative girls met with Miss Carse to draw up a constitution and to nominate officers and studen4 leaders. The girls who desired to join the League met as charter members, ratified the constitution and later elected the officers named in the list given below. The office of Director is by the Constitution given to the Principal of the School who. with the approval of the officers and section leaders, requests certain members of the Faculty to act as advisers for the various sections. The only section that has not had an elected student Pag 2 leader this year lias been the dramatic, which perhaps, more than other sections. has presented a problem because the work in dramatics has been done in classes rather than in the dramatic association. This is one of several matters in League organization that we must try to decide this year, and is indicative of the fact that the work of the past year was a “try-out” of the whole plan. We believe that the experience of this year will make it possible to perfect many things that still show some ragged edges. Faculty Advisers of Northrop League.

So far we have given a noble example of early hours for evening entertainment, beginning at 7:45 P. M. and closing at about 9:30 P. M. We plan to make these evenings informal and for the members of the League only, but are glad to welcome guests if they are interested in our frolic and in the awarding of merit badges. The first awards were made March 13th. 1920. in basket-ball, dramatics, volley-ball and hiking; other awards will be made when recommendations are made later in the spring. Schedule of Points of Merit Leading to Merit Badges. Senior Division. In each case except as specified for hiking, twenty-five out of a possible thirty points must be earned to secure a merit badge. A second award for proficiency in any one activity shall be indicated by a small white star placed under the emblem. A third award for the same honor will be indicated by a circle placed around the star. In dramatics a member may win a merit badge for high grade of performance in one play, but usually it will be needful to show high ability in more than one play.

Jane Confer Advisory Board Miss Adah G. Grandy Miss Eva M. Smith The Tatler and its Meaning Now that the Tatler is finished and we have a tangible evidence oi our past labors, we feel that it is ours—from cover to cover—for it contains a little bit of every form, of every girl in Northrop, from the tiniest member of the Kindergarten to the tallest and most imposing senior. Everyone has wanted it. has worked for it, lias done her share, and now we feel that we have our own book—a monument of the busy school year of 1919-1920. The Tatler is a record of a very happy time in the life of each Northrop girl, and it will keep the memory of those days fresh in our minds in years to come. Those girls who are now little tots will grow up and will fill Northrop with that same glorious spirit of sisterhood which pervades its every nook and cranny. The new wing will divide the little girls from the big next year, hut no walls, no matter how thick or how high can shatter that spirit of comradeship which exists within every member of the “Northrop family. The wonderful inspiration which came to us through our contact- -small though it was—with that most remarkable of women. Professor Maria Sanford. could not but give new zest and life to the seed which had already had its planting. Sisterhood—democracy—fellowship—love for one’s neighbor— enthusiasm for work—all were the essence of that life which made every one who knew Miss Sanford admire her keenly. They. too. are the embodiment of the ideals of each girl in Northrop School, and the splendid spirit resulting from them can not but be reflected in the pages of a book recording school activities. ( ur Annual marks the passing of another year—the passing, also, of the first class who entered the present Northrop as Freshmen and who are leaving as Seniors. To the girls who are leaving it is a milestone in student life, a time that brings deep regret for good things left behind, to the younger girls it brings zest and enthusiasm for things to come—things which are indicative of the Northrop spirit of sisterhood—and among them other Tatlers! We cannot let the year come to a close without expressing our appreciation of all that Miss Carse has done for us. Her work in dramatics and oral English, which she assumed when her dav was already over-crowded, has meant much to every girl concerned. Hut that is not all. besides being a constant inspiration to us. she has worked untiringly for the new addition and now that it is every day becoming more and more a reality, we appreciate how great her task has been. The Seniors will not be here next year to know the new building, but they will always remember that it was Miss Carse who brought it about, and they will look back with pleasure at the steady growth of their school, a growth which they know would have been impossible without her foresight and her unceasing effort. The Tatler Board wishes to thank—though in this most insufficient and incomprehensive way—all those who through their splendid co-operation and help have made the publication of this Annual possible. We cannot think what the Tatler might have been without the untiring and ever ready aid and advice of Miss (irandy and Miss Smith, and of those other members of the faculty who have given of their time and of themselves to make our book a success. We are grateful to them all—so grateful, indeed, that we find our vocabularies quite inadequate to express our appreciation. So we shall simply say. “We thank you all.” l’ase 70 Dramatics As Shakespeare says, so say we at Xorthrop. The play’s the thing. In common with all the world, girls love the dramatic in life and love to dramatize life on the stage. This year more than ever before. Xorthrop has devoted herself to dramatics. .Miss Carsc herself has spent much time and splendid effort in the organization and production of many delightful plays. We can see how successful her work has been by the interest which outsiders as well as the girls themselves feel for Xorthrop performances. Miss Carse has selected the plays and directed the work, but has had the able assistance of several members of the Faculty. Miss Frances Smith has taken the responsibility of the plays of the elementary school with valuable assistance from Miss Holey. Mrs. Strong, Miss Hill, and Miss Radford. Miles. Bagicr and Grandjean took the responsibility for the French play and Miss dale has worked closely with Miss Carse in the designing of costumes. The Powers Mercantile Company has been most generous in giving not only the time of employees in assisting with the stage settings, but has also contributed several valuable additions to our properties. Miss Radford who has taken definite responsibility not only for some of the coaching, but also for organizing a good property and costume room, is to have charge of the dramatics in the school next year. Not only has the life of our own time been interestingly represented in stage land, but that of our French, Greek, and Knglish neighbors also. In ‘’Bethlehem” a nativity play, the old Christmas story was retold in a simple, touching and appealing way which satisfies all hearts, old and young. To catch the spirit of the Frenchman, to feel his emotions, and to try to depict his volatile nature, these things made the French plays a joy to the cast which produced them. Something of this French atmosphere was carried over into the charming French play “Patelin given in English by the Junior class in a two part program in which the other play was a clever and more modern farce “Joint ( hvners in Spain.” The “Idylls of the King” with its idealism and chivalrous adventures satisfied the romance inherent in every girl's heart. The Greek play was a reminder of the grace and beauty of the classic times, and in the Pied Piper we relived our fairy-tale days. The awakening of spring is always recognized at Northrop by a joyous Festival of song and dance, which is interpretive of the lightness and brightness of the coming season. Pair 71 These plays were amusing and interesting to the east and to the audience, but in addition each one was designed by Miss Carse to have its definite educational value. They contributed to the understanding of human nature which is. after all. the purpose of all education. They served to develop in each individual girl her power of expression, her stage presence, and the proper modulation of her voice. Throughout the year, special training in these last essentials has been given to all girls, even though they were not selected for any cast. The best of literature was searched for these plays, and a new appreciation of dramatic art and literature has come to the whole school through the study and performance of these classics. So Northrop loves the play, but the play must be worthy of her love. CHRISTMAS PLAY On Friday morning, December 19th. the Dramatic section of the Northrop League presented the nativity play, “Bethlehem. under the direct supervision of Miss Carse and Miss Ariel McNaughton. whose untiring efforts were greatly appreciated. This beautiful play has been acted on two previous occasions at Christmas time by former students of Northrop, but at no time have the characters been so successfully portrayed nor have the scenic effects been more exquisite. Its very simplicity was an added charm. Each line had been carefully studied in order to bring out the greatest possible amount of meaning, and was spoken with remarkable spirit and feeling. Many delightful lighting effects were obtained which heightened the beauty of the scene. It is hoped that the presentation of this play at Christmas may become one of Northrop’s traditions, a something to look forward to before each Christmas holiday. The cast included: Mary ...................................Dorothy Dodge Joseph..................................Ruth Bovcy Gabriel ................................Elizabeth Me Lane Shepherds: Helen McLaughlin, Virginia Dymond, Eleanor Kingman. Jeannette Schall, Betty Frankforter, Josephine Yelie. Betty Morrison. Kings: Ruth Kent, Gertrude Mills. Margaret Schermerhorn. FRENCH PLAY On Saturday afternoon, February 23rd, a French play “Le X’oyage de M. Perrichon” was presented by a number of the French students in the Dramatic Section of the League. The comedy was most successfully put on. By means of good acting, many of the laughable situations were ‘‘put across” to an audience all of whom did not understand French. Besides training them in acting. Mile. Bagier and Mile. Grandjean gave the cast much careful drilling in the correct French pronunciation and inflection, work for which all those concerned are grateful. The girls feel that this training has greatly helped their daily French work and has given them greater ease and confidence in their conversation. The proceeds of the play went to the enlargement of the school library. The cast included: Perrichon .................................

As is to be expected from the class of 1921. the productions were admirable, both in their manner of presentation and in their interest. The two plays offered were Alice Brown’s, “Joint Owners in Spain.” and a translation of the 15th century French farce. “Monsieur Patelin.’ “Joint Owners in Spain,” the shorter of the two. was given first. It dealt with an Old Ladies’ Home and the trials and tribulations thereof. Dorothy Mann, as fussy Mrs. Blair, and Elizabeth Morrison as Miss Dyer, carried off the honors here, though Esther Bruce as Mrs. Mitchell, a director of the home, and Betty Bovey as Mrs. Fullerton were not far behind. Mi s Dyer and Mrs. Blair, the two most disagreeable women in the home, were put in the same room. Each had had innumerable other roommates. among them some of the best natured women in the home, but Miss Dyer with her imaginary illness and Mrs. Blair always feeling slighted and picked on. would have proved too much for even the patience of Job. Finally Mrs. Mitchell had put them together and left them to fight their own battles. Mrs. Blair was a very strong-minded person, and immediately on her occupancy of the new quarters, set herself to reform Miss Dyer, “who had not been a well woman these twenty year.” The difficulties and final arrangement of the two old ladies were most laughable to witness, and one could only say. as the curtain went down on perfect concord and peace in the room. “Necessity is the mother of invention.” The larger and more complicated play was “Lawyer Patelin. This is a story of a needy but clever lawyer, who by his shrewdness secured six ells of cloth for a suit from M. Guillaume, a miserly draper, and a rascally shepherd. Elizabeth Strong as Patelin was very good and threw herself into her part well. Mildred Buffington, as Guillaume the draper, did. perhaps, the best acting of anyone in the cast, while Elizabeth Gahre as the shepherd Agnelet was extremely funny. The rest of the cast was as follows: Valere. son of Guillaume....................... Elizabeth McLanc Bartholin, a judge..................................Gertrude Mills Mine. Patelin ............................................... Mary Dibble Henriette. her daughter..........................Theodora Melone Colette, the maid............................... Virginia Dvmond Both Junior plays were voted a great success, the only trouble being that there were not more of them. After the performance, the gymnasium was given over to dancing, and audience and actors alike enjoyed themselves for an hour or more. Page 74 •!� «- Page Page Tfi Civics One of the main divisions of the Northrop League is the Civics Section. Although it is a new feature in the school life this year, it has created a good deal of interest among the Junior and Senior girls. All High School Forms are eligible to membership, but when the 9th and 1 Oth Forms heard rumors about debates and parliamentary law, they decided they had no time for this section. '1'he first time this section became known was in connection with the Roosevelt Memorial. All the schools in the city were asked to contribute, and Northrop eagerly offered to do her bit. Boxes were placed in the class rooms for the contributions of the girls, and in this way the sum of fifty dollars was collected. Another idea, which seemed to appeal to everyone, was the distribution of Thanksgiving dinners. We were all asked to bring food with which to fill the baskets, and the supply received in this manner, was most gratiiying. The entire play-room was swamped with offerings. The whole school from Seniors to Kindergarten trooped down to leave their generous donations. Committees were busy all morning sorting the different packages and then dividing them among the eighteen baskets which they filled under the supervision of Miss Smith, our adviser. The afternoon was spent delivering the dinners, which filled five automobiles. ()ur next opportunity for service was the sale of Christmas Seals. Booths were placed in the halls, upstairs and down, where the seals were on sale tor two days, before 8:30 and at noon, bringing in an approximate total of ninety dollars. Every one was so eager to buy that if it hadn’t been for the S.G.A. rules for quiet in the halls at noon, both booths would have been mobbed. The last civic interest was the Child Labor Drive. The 8th Form won the honors for getting the most contributions; altogether the amount raised was ninety-five dollars. In former years, these various enterprises have been carried on independently. but with the grouping of them this year as the Civics Section of the League, the work has been simplified and better results have been obtained. Pap- 77 Nature Study and Woodcraft Junior Northrop League A limited length of time in the Spring of 1919 made it impossible to carry out the full plans for the nature study of the Junior Northrop League. However. through the kindness of I)r. Roberts of the University and of Miss Banks of our own school, it was possible to have four good bird trips. On these trips, with the aid of field glasses, we were able to have first hand information as to the coloring and general appearance of some thirty or more kinds of birds. As a culmination of the Spring Nature work, we had a delightful day at the country home of Mrs. John Crosby. There we saw a group oi baby mourning-doves just emerging from their nest; a wood thrush on her nest; the results of the patient efforts of the summer yellow bird to hatch her brood without hatching a baby cow-bird, and several other interesting facts concerning bird lore. We anticipate some very pleasant and exceedingly interesting trips this Spring. Identification of trees and flowers is another phase of nature work which is intensely interesting. We plan to do considerable along this line this Spring. The knowledge acquired thru these trips is not. however, the only knowledge our hikes enable us to gain. For. under the very able guidance of Miss Banks, we are learning to build camp-fires, to cook things on these fires, to know what things are best adapted for camp cooking, in both food and utensils. We are anticipating something in the nature of a camping party this Spring, so we must also know the general method of division of labor and camp routine. In order to be counted in on this plan, we are working hard on our required hiking. We are also gaining, under Mrs. Schimmele’s direction, some practical knowledge of First Aid. ()ur aim. you see, is to be fully prepared for a really happy, good, old camping trip. Page 7$ I’njrc ?! The Athletic Council The Athletic Council of Northrop School is composed of the heads of the various sports included in the Northrop League. By this arrangement all athletics are included in a unified organization, which enables each sport to hold a major position in its season. The council includes: Misj Gnrrett Faculty advisor and head of Elizabeth Mcl-ane Base Hall Representative Athletics Ruth Bovev. Riding Representative Eugenie Crosby...Student head of Athletics Josephine Velie.. Hockey Representative Mary Huntington Basket Ball Representative Mary Anderson Hiking Representative This Council regulates all the Athletic functions and interests throughout the school year. Besides this main council various small councils composed of two representatives from each class are elected to regulate all matters pertaining to basket-ball, base-ball, and hockey. The basket-ball council regulates all matters in its field, arranges all the games, and chooses the school and class teams. The members of this council are: Mary HunttUKton Head of Basket Ball ilive Marshall Sophomore Representative Eugenie Crosby .Senior Representative Kate Welles Freshman Representative Elizabeth MclaM Junior Representative Ruth Kent Freshman Representative losephine Velie Sophomore Representative The base-hall council is composed of the same members as the one above-mentioned. 'Phis council also chooses the teams and arranges the games. This system of councils solves any difficulty which may arise in the athletic division of the Northrop League. It enables each class to have fair and unbiased representation and gives to each girl a fair chance to make good in her form of athletics. Page SO Riding Several times in the beautiful fall days a group of about twenty girls gathered on the mound across from the school at the noon hour. From various bits of conversation one might easily have surmised that they were planning for the annual riding contest, a long established custom in the school. During the summer months the contestants are practicing for the great day. Many times the girls are seen out for a brisk ride both in the city and at the lake. This year the contest was held November 10th. Altho there were not as many entrees as usual, the girls who did take part showed they had given a good deal of time to preparation. The result was a real contest. We were very fortunate in securing Dr. Gay. Mr. Safford. and Mr. Charlebois as judges. The hour was set for 2:30 sharp at which time the band struck up a lively march. To its strains the riders entered the ring in single file, receiving a hearty greeting from the spectators. The program which had been planned for the afternoon was then carried out in the following order: I. Parade. II. Three Gaited Class. Twelfth Form: First: F.thel Appleyard. Second: Ruth Bovey. Eleventh Form: First: Mary Anderson. Second: Elizabeth Bovey. III. Upper School Championship Cup Class. First: Mary Anderson. Second: Ruth Bovey. IV. Lower School Championship Cup Class. First: Lucy Winton. Second: Margaret Jordan. V. Trotting Race. First: Margaret Jordan. Second: Ruth Bovey. VI. Pairs, Three Gaited Horses. First: Ethel Appleyard. B'anche McRae. Second: Ruth Bovey. Elizabeth Bovey. The actual riding over, the contestants and their friends returned to the school, where tea was served and the prizes awarded. Mary Anderson, amidst the cheers of her school mates, was presented with the Roger Cup. and Lucy W inton, amidst like clamor, became the proud winner for the second time, of the Laramee Trophy. This event closed the 1919 riding season. Pane SI Basket Ball Basket-ball! W hat a world of meaning that word contains for the High School students of Northrop. It seems to be the very foundation for the strong class spirit which is so prevalent among the upper classes. The marked rivalry which springs up during the inter-class games intensifies the loyalty of each girl to her own class much more than any one other thing could do. Besides being the favorite sport of the girls, it is the game in which they excel. So much has been made of basket-ball in the past years at Northrop, that the girls have been able to get an unusual amount of practice in it, and consequently by now their playing is rather above the average. Each class always has its own team, and the school team is selected from the whole student body. Games arc played off between the classes on school afternoons or Saturday mornings until only two winning teams remain. Then comes the Tournament. preceded bv great preparation on the part of the two contesting teams. New songs, new yells, new “stunts” of all kinds are secretly practiced, and all negotiations are shrouded in deep mystery. When at last the great night arrives. all the parents and friends of the students are invited to see the final game. The stunts are all put on before the playing, and in these the two classes vie with each other in originality and “pep.” After the game is over, and the winning team has been congratulated and cheered by every one present, music is started and the dancing begins. This night ends the basketball season as far as the classes are concerned. The school games, however, usually continue much later into the year. When the last of these has been played, the season is considered completely over, and the school reluctantly turns to other sports. Nothing, however, can quite take the place of basketball. or arouse quite so much enthusiasm. Indeed, basketball might truly be termed Northrop' best sport. THE FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE GAME Everyone had hopes of the Freshman-Sophomore game being very close and exciting. The Freshman made the first basket and were greatly encouraged by this. The first half was very even the score being 2-3. In the second half the Sophomores picked up a great deal and Elizabeth Melone helped them to gain their victory. Despite the good playing of the Freshmen they were beaten 9 2. Pa (ft S2 Page S3 THE FIRST JUNIOR—SENIOR GAME The clay was the seventeenth of January. The occasion was the first Junior—Senior game. The game was to be called at halt past nine in the morning, and by fifteen minutes before, the teams began straggling down to the locker-rooms, and the audience was ranging itself in factions—Juniors and Freshmen on one side of the gymnasium. Seniors and Sophomores on the other. By a quarter to ten. everyone was in a high state of excitement. The Seniors started the yelling by giving a cheer for themselves, while the Juniors, scarcely waiting for the last shout to cease, burst forth with Juniors. Rah! Juniors. Rah! Rah! Rah! Rah! Juniors!” Then followed cheers for the teams, sister classes, and opponents. The teams, in the meantime, were wandering vaguely about the floor, tossing a ball with passionate enthusiasm when it came their way. but otherwise scarcely conscious of what went on. Each one was fully determined to be the victor this time, and thus their fighting spirit was well up before the playing began. Finally, at ten o’clock, the starting whistle blew. Immediately the twelve girls took their places on the floor and stood tense, waiting for the first jump. Would Blanche or Gertrude tip the ball? The whole gymnasium seemed suddenly charged with electricity, and players and spectators alike held their breath. Ah. Miss Pederson has tossed the ball! Blanche has hit it! Genie has it now. There it goes toward the Senior end. Army has it. Will she shoot? No, she has passed it to Mary Mary will make one. surely. She shoots—and misses! Army runs after the ball. She shoots—and misses likewise. Will this horrible suspense never end? Heavens! Dorothy Mann has it. She sends it a long distance to Gertrude. But no, Genie’s superhuman stretch of arm saves the day. Mary has it once more. She shoots quickly, and—. Yell on yell rends the room and ecstatic classmates stamp their feet in joy. Mary has made the first basket. The ball goes to the center once more. Gertrude out-jumps Blanche this time. Strong jumps miles for it and comes down with a thud. The ball progresses rapidly toward Lib. She has it and gathers herself for one of her long distance shots, but Ruth blocks her. 'The guard gets the ball and passes it to Helen. Teddy, too quick for them, snatches it and shoots. Xo luck, and this time Helen grabs it desperately. She gets it to the center. )h. is Mars going to make another? Not this time, for Gertrude has it. Now Lib has it once more. She shoots and makes it. More yelling, even more uncontrollable than last time, for the situation is getting worse. All through the first half, fortune fluctuated until when the whistle blew, the score stood 7—6 in favor of the Juniors. The two teams betook themselves to separate quarters to attempt to rest and to discuss the outcome of the game. After ten minutes of relaxaion. the whistle blew once more. Everyone was nearly desperate for much depended upon the outcome of this game. The second half was more nerve-racking than the first. The Seniors would make a basket and be one ahead, and then the Juniors would promptly make two. Finally the Seniors succeeded in getting one. two and at last three more. Thus the game went on until someone from the' sidelines cried frenzicdly, “A quarter of a minute more!” PrtKc Si Page 85 Bedlam broke loose. Army, goaded to madness, made a basket. Quick as a flash the ball had been tossed up in the center; Lib had it. had whirled it awav from Ruth, and the score soon stood 21—24 in the Senior’s favor. AH the side-lines fairly hopped in the excitement, screaming loudly the while. In spite of Gertrude, Blanche tipped the ball, passed it to Mary, and lo! She made one of her superhuman long throws! “Time”. “Juniors. Yea. Juniors.” “Seniors, Rah ! Rah! Rah ! Rah ! Seniors.” Shrieks, powerful and mighty, rent the gym. an damid the tumult, victors and vanquished retired below stairs. THE JUNIOR-SENIOR TOURNAMENT I'he hour was here. The contest of years was to be decided. The Junior-Senior tournament was on. All during their high school career the class of 1920 had held the basket ball championship, and for the last two years the class of ‘21 had been a close second. Now, on this evening of February 11. 1920, all the Northrop world was to see whether the Junior dream of victory or the Senior reputation for it was to win. By eight o’clock the sides of the gymnasium were crowded with fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, friends, relatives, all waiting eagerly for the beginning of the game which was to end the basket-ball season. Small brothers were throwing the ball back and forth attempting to make baskets. All were looking with great interest toward the doors through which the teams would make their appearance. Upstairs in the faculty-room, the Juniors were running around, issuing unintelligible orders which no one heeded and asking useless questions, all because the goat, which was to be their mascot, had not yet arrived. In the midst of the hubbub and commotion the door opened, and in came the goat, much to everyone’s relief. After a few more minutes had passed, the team lined up behind the doors ready to enter. Suddenly the doors were jerked open, and the silence which followed was immediate and tense. The piano burst into music, the Junior Captain descended the stairs leading the mascot upon whose back was the placard. “We’ve got the Senior’s goat.” and the Junior class came running in at a dog trot, singing their version of “the Stars and Stripes Forever. They were dressed in brown bloomers, white middies, gold ties, gold and brown bands around their heads, each girl wearing one yellow stocking and one brown one. After marching around the room they formed a circle in the middle of the floor and were immediately joined bv Freshmen and other Juniors. Cheers and songs for '21 went soaring into the air. Meanwhile, in. their dressing-room, the Seniors attempted collected con versation. The hour is ready to strike. remarked one player, her teeth chattering. You’re right, it is, answered another grimly. “If we can only strike as hard as the hour, all will be well.” A faint smile went around at the witticism. Heavens,” gasped Army, the Juniors are doing their stunt! “Come on. girls, said Captain Huntington. Be sure and don’t let anyone see you. We are running to costumes this year: we’ve got to keep our playing up to them.” Page $• Page 8 Presently the Juniors finished, and the Seniors were ready for their entrance. The team. Armatage. Kovey. Crosby. Gage, Huntington, and McRae came abreast at the head of their loyal classmates and sister-classmates. I'he loyal classmates were garbed, according to custom, in white with blue ties, and the equally loyal sister classmates in white with red ties. The team itself had an original get-up composed of Yale blue sateen bloomers and capes, white middies, blue ties, blue overseas caps, and each member carried a swagger stick tied with blue and white ribbons. Advancing across the floor, singing their version of “The Stars and Stripes Forever.” they gathered in a circle, yelled, sang, and then left the floor. That was the last of the “stunts . Business was about to begin. Both teams went out on the floor and threw the ball aimlessly back and forth. There was not much to be gained by it. but the touch of the old familiar sphere seemed to calm a few shaky nerves. Whistle! Not a sound for a minute as the players took their places, then the Senior rooters burst forth hoarsely with, “Come on. Seniors let’s go. Not to be outdone. the Junior enthusiasts rent the air with “Juniors, rah! Juniors, rah! rah, rah. rah. Juniors. The ball was tossed up in the center, and the game was on. Not a sound was heard except rapid scufflings and the occasional bounces of the ball. The tenseness was almost unbearable. Suddenly with a bold jump, and a fierce dribble that boded fiercer to come. Gertrude got almost to her center line. She threw the ball to Lib who passed it to 'fed. A fine display of teamwork between the two forwards followed. A try was made for the basket, but in vain: another, by Ted, and, — a basket scored, the first of the game. Cheer on cheer rent the rafters, and it seemed to the overwrought players that the very roof was going to tumble down on their heads. The game proceeded, waxing more furious with every waning second. The Senior forwards got the ball down at their end, but Dorothy Mann’s flying arms and legs and Mary Dibble’s solid bulk proved too much for their ranges, and the first quarter came to a breathless conclusion with the score 2—0 in favor of the Juniors. A two-minute rest. The rivals were once more on the floor, calm still, but in dead earnest. The game was on again! An overguarding for Senior, tree-throw for Juniors, another basket scored. Again, overguarding Senior, and yet another basket! Utterly determined now, the Seniors “stayed not for brake and stopped not for stone,” and as a result of Blanche’s and Genie’s snappy team-work, Mary made the first Senior basket! Then indeed the rooters almost split their throats. Then the second quarter continued—every minute becoming tenser than the one preceding. First a basket by one, then by the other. Once again, the whistle! and the first half ended 7—6 still in the Junior’s favor. Seniors, rah! Seniors, rah! rah, rah. rah. Seniors! “Juniors, rah! Juniors, rah! rah. rah, rah, Juniors! Between halves the Juniors sat around on the floor of their dressing-room excitedly relating certain plays and murmuring again and again the motto. “Win or die! Rest was what was needed, however, and their lively conversation dwindled into silence. As the Seniors rested in their appointed room. rape W illie said encouragingly. “In nearly every game we have played with the Juniors, they have been ahead oi us at the end of the first half.” “Superstition is sacriligeous.” quoted Blanche sternly. “We’ve got to win! and Genie’s words were in everybody’s hearts as they returned once more to the scene of battle where both teams were fresh and ready, each player having the feeling of “Dear Enemy” toward her opponent. yet determined to win. The whistle blew. The fight was on again! The Juniors played with remarkable skill and coolness. Gertrude being absolutely invincible. Nearly every time Lib or Teddy got the ball she made a basket. This good playing was all the more commendable as two of their team. Judy Thorpe and “Strong,” were out for the year. The Seniors, on the other hand, seemed to have lost most of the cool-headedness that had always distinguished their former games. They were playing on their nerves. Each would rather die than lose this game on which depended their high school reputation, and each knew that her opponent was equally as determined. The third quarter ended with ’21 in the lead. The whistle again! The last quarter had begun; the crisis was near; players were keyed to the highest pitch; and spectators were eagerly leaning forward, all interest on the game. Basket after basket was made. The score increased, — 20—12, 20—13, 20—14, 20—16! “C’mon, teams let’s go! went up from ail sides, 20—18. “One minute more!” came shrill and clear from the time-keeper. Then straining seemed to break; the audience shrieked and commanded: the teams fought desperately—eyes gleaming, teeth clenched, and every muscle taut Then, a Junior basket! The final whistle, and victors and vanquished rushed into groups. The whole gym was in a wild uproar; nobody knew where anybody was; the yells and shouts were deafening. The game was over, and the Juniors had beaten the Seniors for the first and last time. ‘‘We’re beaten.” was Genie’s low-voiced exclamation, and then she led the yell: “Juniors, rah! Juniors, rah! rah, rah. rah. Juniors!” The Juniors were yelling uproariously for the Seniors, and all the people in the gym were streaming across the floor, congratulating here, there, and everywhere. Not to be called short sports. the Seniors, when they had dressed, and the riot had somewhat subsided, formed a line and marched around the gym singing to the tune of “Alcoholic Blues.” We’ve got the blues. We’ve got the blues. We’ve got the basket bailie blues. No more glory, no more fame. For we have lost this crucial game. Good-bye. Juniors, we are through. All the joy of victory is for you!” So ended the much looked-forward to and much discussed Junior-Senior tournament of the year 1920, with a score of 22 to 18 in favor of the Juniors. Page oo Page !«I THE FIRST SUMMIT—NORTHROP GAME The basket-ball season opened early this year, and on February 6th we were ready for our first game. This was to be played with Summit and in their gymnasium. At three o’clock, the room was lined with people; on one side Northrop rooters, on the other those of Summit. Everyone was wildly excited, for neither knew how good the opposing team was. At a little after three, the two teams came on the floor, and loud was the cheering that welcomed them. After the preliminary passes of the ball, the whistle blew, and both teams took their places. Though the Summit center was tall, she was not quick enough for Blanche, and Genie got the first tip off. In breathless silence the ball was passed to the forward end. and Lib tried for. and made the first basket. Mad yells followed. 'Pile game proceeded in this wise for three baskets, then Helen and Gertrude at the other end were able to at least feel the ball. Very shortly they were called upon to play with all their might, for the Summit forwards made up their minds to have a point, and have it they did. Anxious watchers nearly burst their throats in ecstasy. At the end of the first half, the score stood 18—5 in favor of Northrop. Marv Huntington, who was just recovering from the flu.” was not allowed to play the entire game, and Theodora Melone took her place, for the second half. It was Teddy’s first school game, but she showed herself equal to the test and made several beautiful shots. Summit had by this time bucked up” considerably, and during the third quarter the playing was fast and furious. The last quarter was fearfully long-drawn-out. for each side wished to give its subs a chance for their letters, and time out” was constantly being called while players were changed. Much to the amazement of Northrop as well as Summit. Gertrude was changed from guard to forward. Though utterly astonished, she collected her wits and put them to use to some purpose. She made three of the most wonderful long baskets ever beheld by either school. W ith enthusiasm waxing hotter every minute, it was a pity the game had to end when it did. but the relentless whistle blew, leaving the score 43—18 in Northrop’s favor. The Northrop girls were to have been served with tea, but owing to the influenza epidemic their hostesses were forced to change their plans, and the two schools parted the best of friends, each devoted admirers of the other. THE RETURN SUMMIT GAME On Saturday, March 13. the Summit basket-ball team came over to Northrop to play the return game which they owed us. Before the game both schools did considerable yelling. Summit coming up to her usual standard, but Northrop falling below hers, even tho spirit and intentions were good. At the given signal both teams took their places. During the first few minutes of play the gym was practically silent. No cheering was done until Lib Me Lane made the first basket. Then shouts, yells, and applause were heard from both schools on all sides of the gym. Another basket soon followed this, and Summit worked harder and harder. Their team was playing a good, steady game, but Northrop’s was. too. and as a result, the first half ended with the score 10 to 4 in our favor. I'asre 92 Between the halves, yelling again filled the gym, this time, however, accompanied by singing. Summit once again out-cheered us. When the whistle blew for the third quarter, everyone was eager to see how the returning teams would play. Summit continued her good work, and Northrop’s quick passes were more than ever in use. This quarter likewise ended in Northrop’s favor. AH through the game, overguarding seemed to be the most common foul made by both teams, although the Northrop centers were wont to make line fouls frequently. At the beginning of the last quarter, Gertrude Mills was taken out, and Ruth Bovev was put in in her place. Mary Huntington, because of a slight accident, was almost taken out. but after time out ' she was able to resume her former position. Aside from this no casualties were experienced by the players. Summit played hard up to the very last minute; not once did she seem to get down hearted in spirit or shiftless and careless in play. Nevertheless, the last quarter ended with the score 26 to 12 against her. After the game everyone went upstairs where tea and wafers were served. Dancing in the gym had been planned, but few stayed, and those for only a few minutes. This game, had a somewhat sad significance as four regulars. Mary Huntington. forward; Helen Gage, guard; Genie Crosby and Blanche McRae, centers: and one sub. Ruth Bovey. will graduate this June, and this is the last basket-ball game which they will ever play in Northrop on the school team. The team and Northrop certainly will miss these players, for as long as they have played. Northrop has never lost a game in which girls’ rules were played. ------------------ THE HAMLINE GAME—FEB. 13. 1920 Though Friday the thirteenth is generally supposed to be an unlucky day. the Northrop team set blithely out. on the evening of that day for the Hamline game. They sang gayly all the way over to the college, and arrived with spirits high and colors flying. A kindly person directed them to the dressing room, and there the team made ready for the game. The whole affair struck them as a joke—for several reasons. First, because their opponents had played rough-and-tumble boys’ rules for four years, while Northrop had practiced them exactly three times; secondly, because each girl on the opposing team was declared to weigh one hundred and eighty pounds (slightly exaggerated, of course); and thirdly, because the home gym. in which they had always practiced would tit into the Hamline field seven or eight times. Northrop’s team was quite prepared for defeat, but nevertheless went at the game laughingly and with spirit. When all six of the first team and the five substitutes were ready, they emerged “en masse” from the dressing-room. From there they proceeded to the floor and commenced shooting baskets. Just before the whistle blew. Captain Crosby addressed her dauntless team. “Now listen, girls. she admonished them, “when you see some of those people in red middies flitting down the floor in a series of short passes, don't let the audience know how dazed you feel. Bust it up!” So saying, she took her place, the others followed suit, and the whistle blew. Instead of the absolute silence of former Northrop games, a continuous Pajj M yelling and shouting was kept up hv the onlookers. This seemed to goad both teams to excess of madness, even as early as the first jump-off. The scarlet middied side center got the ball, and Genie started guarding her strictly according to rule. Her arms were straight lines. By mistake she bumped too close to her opponent. Oh. excuse me!” she exclaimed involuntarily. Not a word issued from the other's lips. She dodged, dribbled once, bounced once, and was down the field. She made a basket. Mad shrieking rose from the Hamlinc side. The ball went back to the center. This time Blanche was more prepared for the mighty weight of the girl against her. and Genie got the ball. The two carried it down the field, several Hamlinites trailing in their wake. Blanche was about to try for a basket, when mirabile dictu the ball sailed serenely out of her hands. The next thing Northrop knew. Hamline’s too clever side center had again made a basket. During the remainder of the first quarter Hamline continued to make baskets and Northrop continued to guard frenzidly. Finally the whistle blew and both teams sank breathlessly on the floor in order to appreciate the three minutes’ rest. In the second quarter Gertrude, who had been playing guard, came in as center, leaving Blanche to the tender mercies of a fierce-visaged Amazon. The quarter began inauspiciously for Northrop by one more point for Hamline. Then indeed, the white and gold pulled itself sternly together—and made its basket. All the school rose up in joyous acclaim. Gladys Rideout’s invaluable voice considerably swelled the tumult. The team tried to hide its righteous satisfaction in blank-eyed stares. Gertrude, in truth, fairly outshone herself for a time, and made two spectacular baskets. The last one. unfortunately did not count, as some one had made a foul and the whistle had been sounded a second before the ball went in. Northrop attested vocally to its disappointment and disgust. Yes, truly, how weary, flat, stale, and unprofitable” are the uses of this world. For while Northrop had one basket to her credit. Hamline had many. Genie, however, not to be outdone, rallied all her powers and just before the end of the first half shot a remarkable goal. Though nearly overcome with amazement, her schoolmates rose to the occasion and cheered hilariously. During the interval between the first and second halves, both sides conferred in their separate apartments, and when they returned again to the fray, a light that never was on land or sea” gleamed in the eyes of all of them. Everyone foresaw a determined struggle. They foresaw truly; Gertrude. once again doing duty as a guard and with a broad grin on her face, whirled her forward around and landed her unceremoniously on the hard, hard floor. Then Gertrude smilingly passed the ball to Bovey. from there it went to Blanche; in order to get it. however, Blanche too had been obliged to use a little force. Employing her head as a ram. she smartly butted her opponent out of the way and she sprang miles into the air after an elusive bail. Genie, to catch the same coy sphere, stretched her arms to superhuman length and attained her end. The fourth quarter opened in the same spirit as the third, though both teams were beginning to feel the effects of the fight. Hamline went on, however. to a victorious end. leaving the score 32—IS. Northrop retired, as jubilant as if she had been victorious. For you see,” some one said, we all did our darndest and angels could not do more. Anyway, it was a great fight and a great game.” rape m Basket Ball Teams Captain Center: Side Center: Forwards: (iuards: SCHOOL TEAM ..........

At the beginning of the year the gymnasium periods of the upper school were spent on the field, although as yet no class teams have been organized. Un fortunately, however, the premature arrival of the snow prevented the usual interclass games from taking place. Hockey has usually been counted in for the winning of the Athletic cup which is presented at the end of the year to the class winning the majority of final victories in different sports, but this year the award will have to take place without the hockey record. There is a possibility that the game will be resumed this spring, but baseball will be chiefly emphasized. Next year we hope to be able to accomplish more hockey and to make hockey a more important feature of the Northrop League. Pajjto 07 Hiking Most dictionaries leave the word “hike” undefined. But this indefinite nature of the hike has been rather an advantage, for whatever the season, whatever the weather, Northrop League has been able to venture out. by some means or other, and to have a “hike. Once, in the middle oi February, on a certain Friday, one might have witnessed a sight to make him think he had. by some blunder, come to Blake instead of Northrop—for fourteen or fifteen jauntily dressed “boys. hiking on skies and snow-shoes, set out for the open country. Skirts are as unessential on such expeditions as syrup on pancakes, fried in a skillet over the hard-built open fire. And do you know that skillets are also very useful as shovels, when it comes to clearing a camp beside a fallen tree which is warmer to sit on than a snow-bank? Only don’t make the mistake one member did in bringing a five pound frying-pan. It weighed fifty before we had gone a mile, as each of us in turn discovered! Then there was the “ascent of Mont Blanc,” and the memorable dash around the frozen Lake of the Isles, in which expedition one valiant member froze her ear and another her cheek without visible regret or loss of enthusiasm. But this was all by way of practice. One hundred and fifty miles in ten weeks is the goal. For this, one receives a pair of little white feet to beautify her arm-band. By way of encouragement, if she achieves the first seventy-five miles in five weeks or less, she may wear the left foot. But the mate must be earned within the ten weeks, or the lone foot is then forfeited. W hen one has “two feet. the next honor to attain is credit for doing twenty-five miles in three consecutive hikes. Many girls in the seventh and eighth forms are working for. and many of them have already attained their “feet.” You can see them walking back and forth to school almost any day, and many automobiles are now without an occupant. PflKe £� S Skating ()f all the sports indulged in by Northrop students, skating receives perhaps the least attention. One reason is the shortness of the season, and another is the fact that this time, short in itself, coincides almost exactly with the basket-ball season. Nevertheless, this year, thanks to Mr. Velie and the Minneapolis Park Board, the small pond on the Parkway near the school was kept clean all winter, and it was not an uncommon sight to see groups of girls there enjoying this best of outdoor sports. Especially during the “midyears was this the case when the outdoor exercise proved a good tonic after hard examinations. Weather permitting, it is hoped that in future years skating will prove a popular division oi Xorthrop’s athletics, because there is no exercise quite so healthful, so entertaining, nor so amusing as skating. I’age 99 Tennis The tennis season does not begin at Northrop until spring, as hockey occupies all attention through-out the fall months. 'This year, as we have had a late spring, no tennis has as yet been played. The usual tournament, into which any member of any class may enter, will be played according to schedule, the last of May. Last year's tournament. after being delayed by the rainy weather, was finished late in May. The finals were played between Blanche McRae and Eugenic Crosby, the latter winning. We hope that we may be able to have a tennis team this year, and there is a rumor that we may play Summit. If a team is chosen and matches played, tennis will have arisen from its desultory stage and will be recognized as a major sport. rat- ion Pag 101 Student Government Board OFFICERS Pmddont i llaiu ho McRac Vice-President Theodora Melon Secretary Klizabeth Melon Executive Board 1st Semester Senior Representatives, Ruth Hovey. -Marjorie Hedwall Junior Representative . .Elizabeth Stronjc Sophomore Representative ....... ...

Margaret Sehermerhorn Freshman Representative.................Kate Welles This year Student Government started out with two definite purposes in mind: to develop the independence of each student through the co operation of all students; to place the Association in an unassailable position where its authority and existence will never be questioned and where its standards will be looked up to and lived up to by all whom it concerns. Student Government was first launched in Northrop School in 1917. It made a splendid start and has progressed steadily from that time forward. Last year it was given a bad shaking by the “flu” epidemic; the irregularity of the attendance and other difficulties were a great drawback, hut Student Government weathered the gale and continued to advance. This year the Executive Board started hv revising the constitution, putting it in a form where there was no doubt as to its meaning or purpose. It was also added to and extended to meet the growing needs and to cover the new responsibilities of the Student Government Association. As to the success of our first purpose, we have definite proof. The number of warnings has been greatly decreased, averaging (up to March 1) somewhat fewer warnings than last year including the nine weeks during which school was closed, and about half the number of the previous year. And for all this, there is less supervising necessary than there was last year or at the beginning of this year. The Senior study hall is conducted entirely without a supervisor. Chapel lines need practically no sentinels, and one energetic foreman can look after the halls at noon. This may sound trivial, hut in reality it is quite a step forward and another league covered on the long stretch toward the goal which we desire. This has been accomplished by the fine co-operation of every student, and the personal effort of each one to aid her less fortunate classmate on the Executive Board. The failure or success of the second purpose cannot he dealt with by anyone on the inside of affairs. The verdict of its failure or the acknowledgement of its success can be given only by Miss Carse and members of the Faculty or others who have watched from a distance the results obtained from tiie efforts of those who are most concerned for its success. Ye hope Student Government lias advanced more this year than ever before, that its position is more secure, its authority more respected and its standards more looked up to. Its future history will he read with great interest by those concerned with its present welfare, and we hope that it will prove itself far beyond the level to which our poor but willing efforts have brought it. Page 102 Page 103 The Movement for Better American Speech This article was prepare ! ns a topic in KiiKlish XII. XK of the greatest questions facing the American people today is that of better American speech. Perhaps no country on the globe presents the same case as the United States where in widely stretching, continuous territory thousands of inhabitants, some of them citizens, speak languages foreign to the rest of the populace. Vet the language trouble is not so marked among foreigners as one would suppose. Through a sort of ambition in the parents, the third and fourth generations of many foreigners are many degrees above descendants of native bom Americans in the matter of speech. In colleges it is often noticed that the purest Eng-lish is written and spoken by foreigners, while the natives reproduce the slovenly. slangy, inaccurate dialects of the streets and athletic fields. Therefore, it is primarily among the natives of this great country of ours that good speech is decadent. Whether it is simply our indifference to what is fine and worthy of expression, whether it is the slang that is the proud possession of all children in the streets, and high school and college boys and girls, whether it is the fear of being considered highbrow” (evidently another term for appearing well educated), whether it is a case of plain gross ignorance, whatever the cause may be. it is true that we arc speaking a language which is becoming not only less beautiful, but also less efficient. Henry James says that speech is the one thing in our wonderful civilization in America that we have not standardized. We should standardize it, and day by day that very thing is becoming more possible. 'The war has proved during the past two eventful years that American youth and American people will respond to the call of idealism. There has been no sacrifice too great to be made for a great and inspiring ideal. Why not present to the people of our nation an ideal of speech such as they have not known before? They could not fail to respond. When one sees expressions such as “Havenchu.” “S cold day.” and Betch life.” in print, one thinks immediately of Russian or some Slavonic language—but no. They are merely the phonetic spellings of “American as she is spoken.” One overhears expressions such as “cut it out,” “d’ye get me?.” “it’s up to you.” “I ain’t got none” on a trolley car. in the street, everywhere indeed. A veritable stigma has been placed upon good language. This is usually caused not by ignorance nor illiteracy, hut by a kind of defiance of standards. Bad articulation, had grammar, had voice seem to he the popular thing. One does not often hear “Have you dined?”—“Xo. have you?”, but it is an every day occurrence to hear the accepted jargon, “D’jeat?”—“Xaw. d’jew ?” The ever noticeable prevalence of such gross vulgarisms as the above has brought into common evidence the need for better speech. “Conserving our melodious English tongue and improving our national speech manners” are very difficult tasks, yet tasks which must be coped with. Therefore with the urgent need of some immediate remedy in mind, the National Council of Teachers of English formed in 1915. a Committee on American speech. Although at first the members of this committee were from widespread districts. they were not many in number. The numbers rapidly increased how- Paue 104 ever, and by 1917 the committee had enrolled among its members a large group of prominent persons from all parts of the country. On the list were many famous actors, physicians, dentists, writers, librarians, editors, and heads of schools of all kinds. Notable in this list were Smiley Blanton. Ida Tarbe’l, H. N. McCracken, Charles Judd. Brander Matthews. Margaret Anglin, George Arliss. William Faversham, Mrs. Fiske, Kdith Wynne Math-ieson. tis Skinner, and Stuart Walker. The activities of the committee have been various, though the field of activity has thus far been in the school primarily and in business, professional, and social life secondarily. hu of the most popular and successful ways of rousing interest in speech improvement is the observance of American Speech Week. Observances of this kind have been held in various parts of the country in individual schools and in individual cities, but not until November of 1919 did Better Speech Week become a national observance. Speech Week is primarily a concerted effort toward rousing public sentiment to the need and the possibility of improving the speaking voice and raising the standard of speech usage in daily life among all classes of people. Pronunciation cannot be classed under this head for there are as many sections of speech in this country as there are geographical divisions. Until New Fnglanders drop the “r from the end of “idea”, '‘area”, and “draw”; until Middle Westerners either adopt or drop the flat a”; or until Southerners pronounce the last letter on a word, one system of pronunciation cannot be adopted. But quite enough else faces the committee after pronunciation has been excluded. There still remain grammar, spelling, usage, construction, and voice, pitch, and tone. Interest in Speech Week was aroused in the schools in a score of different ways. Posters have been of much value for producing results and have been widely used. An “Old Hutch Cleanser” woman sweeping out speech errors or the “Gold Dust Twins” erasing mistakes can be made into a vivid poster. Slogans were used in abundance either on placards, on tags, or in some few cases, upon electric signs. The following are specimens which were used all over the United States: “Speak the Language of Your Flag.” “One Language for a United People, “Better Speech for Better Americans.” “A Free Country—a Powerful Language.” Songs and poems were written and used widely for the furtherance of interest in the movement. Contests in speaking, story telling, debating, and writing, games for young children, plays, dramatizations, and pageants were also used. The celebration of Speech Week roused an interest and enthusiasm among thinking men and women throughout the whole country. They realized that the speech of our people is not the efficient and splendid instrument that it should be and helped to make the drive a veritable “rallying to the standard of good speech. Some one may say. “That is all very well in the schools. You said, however, that business and professional life was also affected.” And such indeed is the case. Business and professional life is affected to a tremendous extent. The Bell Telephone Company. Marshall Field and Company, and the Ford Motor Company are concerns which have demonstrated a very vital interest in the movement—so vital, in fact, that regular classes in English are conducted daily. Probably in no business in the world is the voice more constantly used, and the quality and distinctness of the voice of more importance, than in the business of telephone operating. The Pag 10.1 truth of this has long been realized by the Hell Telephone Company, the result of which is that systematic instruction in the use of the voice is given to each operator. She is taught to pronounce correctly with a smooth enunciation before she even goes to the switch board. The instruction given to employees in the other two companies in the use of good Knglish and in voice hygiene is very remarkable. The results of these measures have proved so worth while that they are being adopted by other stores and factories. During the Great W ar. many men who tried for commissions at officers’ training camps failed to receive them because of their inability to speak good English. An officer at Camp Kunston said. “At all military camps, mental alertness, accuracy in thinking and acting, clearness in enunciation, sureness and ease of carriage and bearing must be insisted upon for two reasons: that success may be assured as nearly as human effort can guarantee it with the material and means at hand, and that priceless human lives may not be criminally sacrificed. A, great number of men have failed here, at Camp Kunston, because of inability to articulate clearly. A man who can not impart his ideas to his command in clear, distinct language and with sufficient volume of voice to be heard reasonably far is not qualified to give commands upon which human life will depend.” Physicians and dentists have taken a marked interest in the attempt to improve our national speech Pure, correct utterances lessen disease, because they promote better hygiene of the entire vocal tract—mouth, nose, throat, and lungs. The vocal apparatus consists of the larynx, the chest, and the resonant cavities of the head. A perfect voice can be produced only by the proper co ordination of these structures in a normal condition, guided by a trained intellect, and a sensitive and cultivated ear. Again, a correct speaking voice can not be produced when an upper or lower jaw protrudes far over the other. The teeth must come together and the jaws must be parallel in order to gain a full. rich, resonant sound. Thus we see the bearing of American Speech W eek and all good speech upon our everyday life. It is vastly important for the sake of standardizing our speech and uniting our people, for the sake of developing the ideal of a clear, correct, accurate, and pleasant language, and finally for the sake of health. W'e are looking forward to a time when we shall all feel the same pride in tine speech that we feel in fine clothes. Very few of us object to an improvement in our wearing apparel, nor do we object to having a finer car than our neighbor. W hy are we so concerned lest our speech be better than his? Why are we satisfied with an inferior kind of speech? W hy not unite and make our language one of beauty, of force, and of harmony as the English poet. Richard Milnes, says: Beyoml the vftjjue Atlantic deep. Far as the farthest prairies sweep, When forest glooms the nerve appall. Where turns the radiant western fall. One duty lies on old and young With filial piety to guard. As on Its greenest native sword. The glory of the Fnglish tongue. That ample speech: That subtle speech! Strong to endure, yet prompt to bend Wherever human feeling tend. Preserve Its force—expand its nowers! Ami through the maze of civic life In letters, commerce, even in strife. Forget not it is yours and ours. Page 106 Dorothy Dodge. '20. Page 107 “Service” FKTRUDH Waybeck sighed—a relieved happy sigh—and sinking into a comfortable chair, stretched her slender body out lazily, and placed her strong brown hands, interlaced, behind her head. How good it was to be alone, to know that the last car had rolled up it the door and received its cargo of silken clad, fluttering femininity, and rolled off again, that the last voice had chirped, “Goodbye Gertrude, you lucky angel! Write us from across, and the last perfumed kiss had been administered. Tomorrow at this time she would be away from it all. and bound for the real thing again. The real thing after thirteen months! How long those months had seemed—an interminable round of teas, dances, dinners and endless “affairs”—shallow months filled with that hectic gayety that calls itself society—a gaycty that had been impossibly, hopelessly dreary and lacking in something. A year and a half ago. back “over there. lying on a hard cot. her feet aching with a weariness resultant of twelve hours of pouring cups of coffee, and dealing out thick sandwiches to an endless line of tired, pathetically cheerful boys in dirty khaki, her thoughts had invariably wandered back home, and she had pictured her crowd at the theatre, or perhaps at a dance, the girls in senseless little gowns and silly high heeled slippers, with an orchestra hidden behind a screen of palms, playing divine music. Those thoughts had been to her then aggravating, teasing things, born of home-sickness, and they usually served to bring bitter tears into her eyes. However those same tears, in rolling down her cheeks, seldom reached her mouth before sleep, that kind merciful condoler. intervened and chased all thoughts of home out of her tired mind. Lately she found herself longing fiercely for that blessed exhaustion of mind and body that is born only of honest work and service rendered for humanity's sake or for one's country. It seemed to her that she could not exist in this hothouse artificial atmosphere any longer, that she must either get away from it or collapse. Her home was to her now a place in which she was absurdly out of element. Her friends, the girls she had grown up with, seemed narrow minded and selfish, interested only in themselves and their petty affairs. She wondered if she too. in time, would lapse back into that type, would become as self-engrossed and blase as those around her. Then, like a heaven sent decree had come the opportunity to go back to devastated France and assist in the task of reconstruction. Altho she was. not a college graduate, this was offered her in recognition of the really splendid work she had done in the canteens on the firing line during the war. She had accepted joyfully, feeling the first genuine happiness she had known in weeks. She was to sail in four days, which necessitated her leaving for N'ew York-on the morrow. And once in France, back at work again. Ah! She jumped up and went over to the window, her heart pounding exultantly, and her eager, shining eyes looking out into the city dusk which was settling thickly on stone facades and pavements. Hut she saw instead brown stubble fields horribly roughened and disfigured from the discharging of countless guns. Page 10s gaunt farm houses, standing out ghost-like against a pallid heavy sky. and churches, their once beautiful spires blackened and bent, symbols of the terrible storm and stress their people had undergone. She drew a quick tremulous breath. That was life! And she was to be in it again, and once in it she would never more relinquish one wonderful second of it. The curtains at the farther side of the room parted, and Mrs. Waybeck, looking unusually small and pale beside the tall broad shouldered man who accompanied her. broke in on her daughter's reverie. Her eyes were reddened as if with weeping, and she approached Gertrude with an air that was almost timid. “Gertrude dear ' she said in her sweet though curiously unanimated voice, “Dr. Locke would like to speak with you.” “Why certainly. Gertrude greeted the big. kindly-faced doctor with unfeigned cordially. There were few people she liked better than Dr. Locke, and she was only too glad of an opportunity to speak with him alone, and to have a few moment’s chat with him at this time. Mrs. Waybeck put her hand on her daughter’s arm with an appealing gesture. “Gertrude darling.” her voice broke, “please don't feel too badly about it.” Pressing her handkerchief to her lips, she went rapidly from the room. Gertrude turned to the doctor, her eyes understanding “I know,” she said quickly, “It's Carol—she must have an operation.” “Xo, Gertrude, my dear.” her companion said in his quiet, low voice, a voice remarkably low and soft for so large a man, “your sister is not able to undergo an operation.” But Doctor. Gertrude’s face was a little white, “you said—” Dr. Locke nodded. “Yes that’s just it. Carol will never be able to walk unless she has an operation. However just now she is too weak, and her nerves are in no condition for an operation. In a year, or better two years, if she is stronger, then we might attempt it. but until then— he shook his head. It would be murder.” But Doctor, two more years.” Gertrude cried protesting. “Carol will never live through them. She couldn't. Look how wasted she was when I came home from France. She has counted so on this operation. We can't disappoint her.” “I’m afraid we must. There is a chance that in two years she may be able to undergo the strain. In the condition she is in at present—there is no possible chance. The best thing for her to do would be to go away, take a sea voyage—maybe to the Orient or to India or North Africa—any place where the scenery would be novel and yet not likely to excite her. There is just one difficulty.” He paused. “And that is? P;iK 1 9 “She seems determined not to go. We have tried every possible way to induce her, but nothing will change her determination. She imagines that if she cannot have her operation now she will never be able to have it. You. Gertrude, seem to have more influence over Carol than anyone. Your mother and I thought that perhaps—” “Yes? Gertrude’s face was very white now and her brown eyes looked searchingly into the doctor’s grey ones. He took both her hands within his own. and his voice was very tender when he said, “1 see. Gertrude, that you understand. It will mean giving up all thoughts of France for the present. It will mean a dull, uneventful two years for you and very trying in many ways, for Carol is a fractious, nervous child who must be humored and coaxed into getting well. You with your splendid health and steady nerves arc just the person she needs. It will be well worth it. Think it over. I will be up in Carol’s room waiting for your decision. That is all. dear girl, but remember that all service ranks the same with God. Gertrude heard the doctor leave the room, heard him ascend the stairs, and heard the sound of a door open and close above. She felt suddenly limp, inert. Her mind kept repeating over and over. “It will mean a dull uneventful year for you.” Dull and uneventful! After all her dreams of France —of glorious service—of life? Xo! Xo! Xot after these thirteen months. She couldn’t do it—Couldn’t give up everything not even for Carol, whom she loved and felt for like a mother. Hot bitter tears of self pity came to her eyes and overflowed and ran down her face unheeded. Did they think that now when she was leaving tomorrow that she would give up everything? Did they imagine that she would relinquish the most cherished plans of her life? She recalled the doctor’s words, “Carol can never walk unless she has an operation. However just now she is too weak—” and she had a vision of Carol, her sister, so little and fragile for fourteen with big wistful eyes set in a white face that already bore the unmistakable stamp of the terrible disease that had affected her back. What were her plans compared to the health and happiness—nay. even the life of this little sister? What were two short years out of the abundance of her strong purposeful ones in comparison with a life time of suffering and invalidism? After all wasn't it far nobler to give one’s services quietly, in gloriously than to flaunt them before the world? Wasn’t that really feeling life, making the little sacrifices that appear so trivial and yet mean so much? Where was it that she had heard it said that “real courage was not scaling the heights, nor plunging the depths, but merely walking along the well trodden road and making no detours?’’ Well that was what she would do. She straightened up and the light that now shone in her eyes was a thousand times finer and more purposeful than any that had been there before. It was a light that came from a determination born of a moral courage, the courage that makes no detours. That light was still in her eyes when, a few moments later, she opened the door of her sisters room. Going over to the weak little figure in the bed she said cheerily, “Well. Carol darling, when do you and I start on our cruise to Japan?” Pn«:e no Helen Cochrane. ’20. til Friendship It's a warm spring night and the stars are out Xml you sit here beside me and dream....... )ld man do you wonder and fear and doubt If tilings are just what they seem? Does the race of life and the fight for place. The hurry and scamper and greed. Leave you suddenly empty and filled with a taste Of loneliness, yearning and need?

I’m with you—I know how you feel. For I've felt that way oft times myself. Believe me I’m slipping a fair and square deal When I tell you it's bad for the health.

You’re almost ready to throw up the bat And whimper and cry ‘That's enough!’ You admit that you’re blue—that you’ve come to the end Of a game that you thought fair and square.

H R door at the end of the car was thrown open with a bang, and the brakeman’s voice rang out. “San-n-nta Ft . San-n-nta Fe. Two young girls dropped their books and flattened their noses against the window pane. “Look. Peg.” cried one, “there's the new governor’s palace.” An elderly gentleman across the aisle smiled indulgently, as he again noticed the contrast between the two girls. “The tall one with the dark hair and eyes, probably lives here.” he mused. “She’s a regular Spanish beauty. And anyone could tell by her accent that the little blonde lady comes from down east.” “(), Juanita.” sighed Peggy gathering up her things, “to think that 1 am to live in a real home for six months, after all these years in hotels and boarding schools. But it must have been harder on Dad. when mother died, with a fourteen months old baby to look after. The train was pulling into the station, and as the girls hurried down the aisle. Juanita said, “1 wonder if mother will be here to meet me. It almost broke my heart when 1 got her letter saying that la nina had the meascls, and she couldn’t come for my graduation. Why couldn’t that child have waited if she had to be sick? )ne time would have been as well as another for her. and I graduate from college only once in my life.” As they stepped to the platform. Juanita gave a happy little cry. “There’s Juan!” A tall, handsome young man of a distinct Spanish type came toward them, and Peggy looked with interest at Juanita’s adored twin. “Buenos dias. mi hermana,” he cried, giving his sister a hearty kiss. The twins seemed so engrossed in each other that Peggy had time to look around and to see what manner of town she was to live in for the next six months. A sense of strangeness came over her as she saw men and women pass by in queer costumes and speaking a foreign tongue. “I have heard many stories of this quaint old place,” she thought, “and how they have kept to their old customs in spite of living in the capital of one of the states. But 1 never dreamed that I would feel like a stranger in a strange land. I believe I’m getting homesick for the U. S. A. Can’t those twins forget about themselves for a little while? Her reverie was broken into by a cheery voice beside her exclaiming. “Mio dios. those twins forget everything when they are together, so we might as well introduce ourselves. Senorita Peggy. I’m Philipe, alleged chum of Juan, when Juanita isn’t around.” Peggy turned with a start, but smiled as she looked up into the twinkling brown eyes of her companion. “Buenas dias, Senor Philipe, she murmured, courtesving. as she thankfully thought of the two years she had studied Spanish. “Peggy.” Juanita was pulling her sleeve, “this is Juan.” “So this is the little Peggy mi hermana has written so much about? asked Juan, taking Peggy’s hand in his big one. “I’m sure I should have known her by the many and varied descriptions in Juanita’s letters.” The four young people were soon in the twin’s chummy roadster headed for “home. A little tingle of gladness ran through Peggy as she thought of ruKe 113 that word. Philipe, who was sitting beside her, said. There’s the old Governor’s palace. There's to be a Spanish ball there next week, and I’m to have the honor of being Senorita Peggy’s toreador.” A flush of pleasure slowly mounted Peggy’s cheeks. So she was already considered “one of them.” But she again had the same feeling of strangeness when they passed the plaza, with the little open shops on three sides, and the old Governor's palace on the fourth. •‘Here, at last, she saw the real Santa Fe; a struggling aggregation of low adobe huts, divided by narrow winding lanes, where in the sharply defined shadows leathern-faced old men and women sit in vacuous idleness, and burrows loaded with fire-wood or garden truck pass to and fro.” As they reached the residence section, Peggy noticed that even the homes corresponded to the general atmosphere of an old Spanish pueblo. The Moreno home was a low. rambling building built around a court. The family was waiting to greet their guest in the long living room, the floor of which was covered with Xavajo blankets. As Peggy entered the room Senora Moreno, a distinguished looking woman, gave her a motherly kiss. The little empty corner in her heart that had always ached so when she saw other young girls with their mothers seemed full to over-flowing now, and she knew that she would never feel that ache again. Someone was tugging at her skirt, and she looked down to see a little curly headed midget of four looking up at her with big serious eyes. ‘‘Como se llama Ud. Peggy?” she asked with her baby lisp. Si. mi nina. Peggy answered, picking up the adorable baby in her arms. Me Uamo Angustias, answered the child with a serious air. At which everyone laughed, for what four year old child doesn't hate to be called baby ? Perdonc I'd, begged Peggy with due humility. So peace was restored, and Peggy had at last found a real home with a real family. Chapter II. It was Monday afternoon. Peggy did not know where the five days since her arrival had flown. And she was too happy to care as she sat in the court under an orange tree covered with blossoms, green fruit, and one luscious ripe one. Juanita was reading a thrilling tale of adventure, and her twin lay stretched out on the cool grass lazily playing ball with la nina. As Peggy rocked back and forth, her eyes roved around the pretty little court with a fountain in the center and with doors opening on all four sides. The door from the living room was opened, and Philipe’s hearty greeting broke into their solitude. Buenos dias. mis amigos.” He stopped short at the scene before him then he laughed as a merry twinkle came into his eyes. Some people certainly are lazy. Perhaps you twins would rather be left to your own devices, but 1 thought that maybe Senorita Peggy would like to attend Vespers at the old San Miguel mission at six o’clock.” Gracious, Senor Philipe, answered Peggy, wait until I get my hat.” She ran across the court and opened the door of her dainty little bedroom. Yon needn’t think that you are going to run away with my Peggy.” said Juanita, trying to frown. We’ll go too. won’t we, mi hermano? You bet we will, if you say so.” Page in As the lour young people stepped out of the auto in front of a large adobe building. Philipe explained to Peggy that this church was the oldest mission in the United States. On entering the church Peggy saw that all the windows were very tiny and were placed right under the roof. Juanita noticed the puzzled look on her face, and answered it. )i course that looks funny to you. Peg. When this church was built years and years ago. there were lots of wild Indians near here, and they used to shoot in the windows of missions when the people were at prayer. So. you see. with the windows two stories up from the ground, if the Indians did succeed in getting arrows in the windows. they didn’t hurt anyone. Peggy, with her beauty loving soul, loved the old oil paintings from Spain the minute she saw them. And as she stood in front oi the alter gazing with adoration at the beautiful madonnas. Philipc whispered in her ear. “See that dainty little madonna with the golden hair and blue eyes? Well, something about her expression reminds me of you. Juan, who was standing beside Peggy, turned with a laugh and said. “You better look out. Peg. Philipe is very finicky in his tastes for girls, but when he finds one he does like........... he winked, then turned around, and striking an imposing attitude, he continued. Ladies and gentlemen, I beg your pardon, gentleman, here we see before us a bell which was cast in Spain in 1556. brought to Santa Fe over 150 years ago. It is made of copper, silver, iron, and some gold and is nearly four inches thick. Its silvery tones are made by a clapper hanging through the bell; all desiring to ring it may now step forward. By this time people were coming in by twos and threes, and kneeling on the old flag stone floor. Soon the choir boys came in, followed by the monks, and Peggy was awed into silence. After the service Philipe conducted his little party across the street to the “oldest house in America . What a queer house.” was Peggy’s first comment. Look, there are weeds and moss growing on the roof. That testifies to its age. answered Juanita. Hurry up. We'll be late ior dinner. Chapter III. The day oi the Spanish Ball had at last arrived. Peggy, excited over the prospects oi meeting some of the state officials, was standing in front of a full length mirror adjusting a black mantilla over her golden hair, which blended in with the gold on her black costume. She saw the mirrored reflection of Senora Morena standing in the doorway behind her. Her hostess smiled as she came into the room. I have just been to Juanita’s room. she said, turning Peggy around and looking at her critically. “I certainly have two beautiful young girls to send to the ball tonight. Xow run along. Your escort is pacing the living-room floor with his hand on his sword hilt, so don’t keep him waiting. The old plaza had returned to its ancient glory, as the gaily bedecked senoritas and senors made their way across it to the long two-storied adobe building that had sheltered city officials for many generations. The full moon shown down on the gay scene, softening the bright colors, and suggesting the fairy element. Because oi the narrow street, the four young people had to leave the car P; me 113 on a side street to escape the congestion, and as Philipc, in a red and black costume that blended well with Peggy’s black and gold one, led his young companion through the crowded plaza, he asked in a persuasive voice. “Senor-ita Peggy, will you pose for me a couple of hours tomorrow afternoon? You are stunning in that costume, and 1 would like to make a water-color sketch of you. “Oh, do you paint? Of course I will pose for you. if you really want me. “Does he paint! exclaimed Juanita as they stepped through the brightly lighted doorway. “Why Peggy, that boy has a future ahead of him in painting covers for magazines. They left their wraps in the room in which (ieneral Lew Wallace wrote Ben Hur while he was governor of the New Mexico territory. “Peggy,” said Juanita presenting a large, handsome woman, “this is Senora Blanco, whose husband is one of the state officials. She turned to her companion. “Peggy is my college chum from the east. Mio dios!” exclaimed the senora. “Here poor Dicky has been mourning for a real live girl from the east, and 1 have been trying to satisfy him with some of our own girls. Come, my child, and meet my nephew. Upon entering the ball room she beckoned to a young man with close cut blonde hair who was watching the dancers with a bored expression. “Here, Dick, is what you have been wishing for. Miss Benton hails from New York too. The pale blue eyes carefully surveyed the slender little figure in front of him. then he smiled. Ah, a real American girl. This dance is ours. I believe.” And so. in his masterful way. Dicky Harriman took Peggy as his rightful due. and danced every dance with her. Near the close of the evening Juanita whispered in her car. “See how jealous Philipe is? lie had planned on having at least three dances with you this evening, and he hasn't had a chance for his first yet.” “Nothing’s hindering him. was Peggy’s cool reply, but her eyes showed her disappointment. “Nothing’s hindering him! Why. my dear child, no one can get within an arms length of you without bumping into young Mr. Dicky. The orchestra began to play a dreamy Spanish waltz, and Juanita beckoned to Philipc who was hovering near. “Go to it. she whispered, “if you want your rights, you will have to take them. Philipc took one step over to Peggy’s side. “This is our dance. I believe.” he mimicked Dicky in word and action, as he slipped one arm around Peggy and backed her out on the floor. She looked up shyly into his scowling face and smiled her choicest smile, which he couldn’t resist, so the twinkle came into his eyes again, and he forgot everything but the music and the young girl who made a perfect partner. Chapter IV. “To think that people used to live in those dirty little caves. Mr. Harriman. I am so glad you brought us to see the cliff-dwellers. “Mr. Harriman indeed. Miss Peggy if I remember rightly. I have told you that back east everyone calls me Dicky, and as you too are from the cast. 1 expect you to do the same.” Page nr rage 117 Philipe turned away with a frown. W'liat chance had he with a girl who had for her devoted slave a wealthy eastern man. and he did want the chance, lie realized it now, and her six months were to be up in three weeks. Harri-man and his aunt were going east on the same train with her and would probably sec her frequently during the winter. Philipe thought of the money iiis grandmother had left him. but he shook his head. 'Wo. I said 1 never would touch the principle, and I won’t now. I won’t ask dad or mother for money either. I will just have to get to work and sell some more of my sketches, and maybe by Christmas I will have enough to go east for the holidays. But 1 can see that it will be too late by that time if Harriman has his way. “1 lurry up. Phil. called Juan, “and get into your saddle. W e’re going home by an Indian pueblo, so we’ll have to make the horses travel fast. As Philipe swung into his saddle, and turned his horse’s head after the rest of the party, he thought that Harriman was riding too close to Peggy, so he cantered up between them. “Senorita Peggy, have you heard that these pueblos were first discovered by Coronado on his expedition, when he was searching for the seven fabled cities of gold and silver?” Peggy turned to him with a pleased smile, “No, not that one. though I have heard many stories about this interesting country. “Well, De Coronado was quite a fellow in his day. He was a noted Spanish soldier and explorer,” Juan glanced over at Harriman. A look of chagrin and petty anger was replacing the arrogant self-satisfied expression that Dicky always wore, and when lie saw that Philipe was looking at him. he pulled in on his reins and dropped back to Juanita’s side. Philipe turned suddenly and looked at Peggy as he heard a soft chuckle; but she was gazing with a dreamy, thoughtful expression over the miles of rolling desert to the purple mountains beyond. Philipe'was puzzled. Did she laugh? If she had. there was a chance for him. because she wouldn’t see the ludicrousness of a fellow if she loved him. “So the noted De Coronado explored these regions!” It was half question and half statement and was a gentle hint for him to continue, so with a sigh he brought his thoughts back to material things. The sun was resting on the edge of the desert, sending its longest rays across the sand before it slipped away for the night. The little party stopped at the ridge of a small hill, and looked at the basin below. Several adobe houses built in terraced form nestled at the base of the foot hills. Peggy caught her breath sharply as several long rays ot sunlight slanted across the grayish brown homes where strings of scarlet chili were drying against the walls. “Senor Philipe.” Peggy gave him her most coaxing smile, and a dimple played at the corner of her mouth, some day will you paint a water color sketch of those buildings from this hill? It is certainly beautiful with the evening sun brightening the chili and making the clear blue and pink doors and window casings softer. “If our party decides to spend part of tomorrow here, I will unpack my paint box. I would like to make a sketch of you. too, in your khaki riding suit and with the chili for a background.” As the little party descended the narrow path toward the pueblo. Senora Blanco came close to Peggy, and said. My dear, has anyone posted you on r-.«K m the etiquette of an Indian family? 1 thought not. One must be very polite, and make much of the children. The pueblo tribes keep their homes very clean, and they are usually kind to travelers who wish to spend the night. 1 have some candy and some colored beads in my knapsack, so 1 am sure we will be welcomed. The tired travelers left their horses at the out-skirts of the village, and as they neared the first house a dog ran around the corner with a piece of meat in his mouth. A second one followed snarling and barking, and caught the other just as he was dashing by Peggy. Peggy jumped, and with a little scream flung herself into the arms of the person nearest her. She looked up, and saw Philipe’s twinkling eyes smiling down on her. She hastily drew away, blushing up to the roots of her curly hair, while a little tingle ran through her. She glanced shyly up at him. but turned away frightened when she saw his expression, and his eyes looking searching!}' into her’s. “Come. Peggy, called Juanita, “our guide knows one of the Indians, so his house is at our disposal.” Peggy hastily followed her friend, and climbed up the crude ladder to the terrace, forming the front yard of her host’s home. That night as she lay beside her chum on one of the little shelves built into the wall, staring into the darkness, she saw again a pair of twinkling brown eyes looking searchingly into her’s. Chapter V. The guests of the PI Tovar Hotel, which was built on the rim of the Grand Canyon, were taking their afternoon naps on the wide porches. Suddenly they were aroused by the arrival of a seven passenger touring car which deposited on the steps of the hotel five young people, and an elderly couple. “Come on Juanita, let’s have a look at the canyon before we go in.” Juan caught his sister o the hand and they ran over to the canyon like two eager children. “Let’s beat them to it. Senorita Peggy, exclaimed Philipe taking her little hand in his big one. Harriman turned, raising his eyebrows. He had let things drift for the last few days because he was so sure of himself and of Peggy. But why wait any longer? There would be a full moon tonight; and what could be a more perfect place than the rim of the canyon! The elements seemed to be on his side that evening. It was perfect October weather with bright leaves on the trees around the edge of the canyon and the dark green firs clinging to rocks and crevices up and down the sides. Peggy seemed glad to leave the ball room, and as Dicky placed a wrap over her dainty dress she asked with a little shiver of excitement, “May we go over to the canyon? It must be beautiful in the moonlight. The orchestra was playing an Hawaiian waltz which added enchantment to the scene as Dicky led her over the lawn to a solitary fir tree standing on the very edge of the huge abyss. Peggy, still flushed from the heat of the warm ball room, looked down into the unfathomable depths and noticed again the change in coloring of the purple and red rocks as they shown in the moonlight. “This certain!v is the ideal place, said Dicky more to himself than to his companion. I’aue 119 “It is ideal. assented Peggy, without taking her eyes away from the beauty of the scene before her. I'm glad you think so. too, Peg, for it would always be something for us to look back to. Don't look so frightened. Really, it is the most logical thing. Your father knows mine, so there will be no objection from that source. “Why, Mr. Uarriman. Peggy sprang away from him in alarm, and looking at him with two big frightened eyes, she continued. I thought that we were friends. Xo. not the kind you mean, but the friend-in-need kind. That’s what I have tried to be to you. 1 have never told you that I know a certain Barbara Warren who once confided to me that she was in love with a Dicky Uarriman. This young man found out that his father was displeased with his choice because she was a poor girl, and so this Dicky had such a fear of being disinherited and having to earn his own living that he went west to forget his little sweetheart. When I met him last June. 1 hoped and prayed that his close association with strong, honorable men would bring him to realize the happiness he was missing in life. Then he would go back home, take his father into his confidence, and marry the girl that has been waiting for him all these months.” When Peggy finished her appeal for her little friend's happiness. Harri-man, forced at last to see himself as others saw him, turned from where he had been looking off into eternity and looked down into her wide, questioning eyes. “Little friend. he said in a voice full of emotion, “you're right, I've been a coward. Afraid to tell Dad I loved a poor girl—afraid to marry Barby because 1 was afraid to work. (). what a cad I've been. He turned and strode off toward the hotel. “Where arc you going?” called Peggy, frightened at his sudden determination and energy. “To catch the first train east.” he called back over his shoulder, and broke into a run. Weary from the excitement and tension of the last few minutes. Peggy sank down at the foot of the old pine. Her fair hair gleamed in the moonlight as she sat staring down into the darkness below, and her thoughts drifted back to a day nearly two weeks before when she had looked up into a pair of searching brown eyes. She caught her breath sharply as she realized for the first time that that look was one full of love and longing. “Senorita Peggy, what are you doing out here by yourself? 1 thought that Uarriman came with you.” “He did. she answered with a little catch in her throat, but he has come to his senses at last, and I’m so glad. She explained in a few words why she was alone and forgotten. Philipe drew her to her feet and whispered with suppressed gladness. “Then my senorita. you were not in love with him?” “Why of course not. Philipe.” she laughed softly, “how could I be when I have already adopted in my heart somebody else's father and mother for my very own ? “And will you adopt that some one else for your own too? The brown eyes had the same searching expression as they looked down into the blue ones, and they seemed satisfied with what they found there, for the old twinkle came back to them as they looked over the golden head into the future and the happiness that it held for them.

Now what could have happened to bring this about, And pucker her two red lips in a pout? Now Polly May’s hair was fluffy and red And stuck out like a halo around her head. Her eyes were blue and sparkling and gay, Except when things didn’t go quite her way. She was almost always happy and bright. And I couldn’t imagine how things came to this plight So 1 sat down beside her and asked her to tell What her trouble was—Why things were not well. For only that morning 1 had left her at play With everything going exactly her way. She pondered a moment and then she cried. “I can’t be good though I’ve tried and tried. “You can’t be good? How sad!” I said. Polly sighed and shook her small head. Shook her head and then I asked. “Is being good such a terrible task? “But I can’t be good and have any fun.” (So that accounted for the sulks in the sun.) I waited awhile and then she said, “Besides Tom calls me a little Red Head. “And Bridget won’t let me make me a cake. “ ’Cause she says she’s busy and she has to bake “And I can’t find Towser, and Mother don’t come, But she doesn’t love me—except—well some. “And I've decided to run away—and so I was trying to think where to go.” Poor little girl. She was abused. I’m ashamed to admit it. but I was amused. For what did she know of the troubles of life. Though her own little world seemed filled with strife.

Page 122 A Visit to Ancient Athens NIC Monday evening. Georgianna Good speed was walking home from school in a very melancholy mood. She was used to speaking to herself in times of trouble, and now in the most woe begone voice began, h dear, what a day. what a school, and what history ! What do I care what happened ages and ages ago—even before Christ was born, to say nothing of myself? Who cares about Pericles. Thucydides. Aristophanes. Socrates, and all the other ‘es? I’m sure I don’t! All I do is get up in class and put one where the other should be—and even then I don’t get their names straight. And our lesson for next Monday is to divide all the great men into three’s. I know she couldn’t do it herself.” That night Georgianna had a great surprise. She was lying in her bed staring into space, when she saw the oddest sight! Standing at the foot of her bed was a man! She was not a bit afraid of him. because he had a very kind face, and he looked a little bit familiar. She heard a deep voice say. with a little sadness in it. ”1 am Pericles. I heard you mention my name today and I’m very sorry to say that I wasn’t pleased with the remarks I heard. Still— I see a slight reason for your misunderstanding. My friends and my time are a long way from vour times—yet I think that if you become acquainted with them, you'll find them a source of great interest, which has just as close a relation to the present times as a small child has to a grown man. If you wish to learn these things, I will make arrangements for you to spend a week in Athens.” “I would love it. but what would my mother say?” She has already consented. So Georgianna and Pericles started out in the most modern of conveyances—an aeroplane! They rode and rode, and in the most absurdly short space of time, they landed in Athens, which was more beautiful than Georgianna had expected it to be. For the first time since they had started. Pericles spoke. I am going to show you all my friends—and if we hurry I’ll have you at home in time to write your history paper for Monday. Georgianna groaned inwardly at the thought of her history paper, but she forgot it very soon, for she heard Pericles say. “I will take you to the home of Thucydides, the historian.. I)o you know him?” “I’m not sure whether we have studied about him in class yet. Georgianna replied, miserable because of her ignorance. Well, it isn’t fair to ask you yet—but be prepared for my questions later! He led her down the road to Athens, which was extremely narrow and muddy, as the rainy season was not yet over. The houses were built closely together and were made of sun-dried brick. Georgianna noticed that the second stories of the houses almost touched above her head. This is the home of Thucydides. He is not very wealthy—as you may perceive.” Answering their knock, Thucydides himself came to the door, lie seemed pleased to see Pericles, saying. “Xenophon is here writing his ‘Expedition of Ten Thousand.’ Xenophon thinks that since he was not 121 successful with the expedition, he might he a success as an historian. What! Have we a guest?” “Yes, this is niv little friend, Georgianna Goodspeed. “Oh! 1 have heard her talking about me, many times.” Georgianna blushed and said a little regretfully. “Oh, I didn't know you could hear what we say.” Georgianna, Pericles, Thucydides and Xenophon enjoyed themselves thoroughly. Both of the historians read parts of their books to Georgianna, and she was enraptured, begging for more, although she had detested the same hooks at home. Thucydides told her how he was endeavoring to make his account of the Peloponnesian Wars much greater than Herodotus's account of the Persian Wars. Although Georgianna hated to leave, Pericles told her there were any number of great men in Athens, and that if she didn’t hurry, her week would he gone before she had seen half of them. She thanked Thucydides and Xenophon profusely, and as she walked along with Pericles she said happily, “Well, Pericles, I know my three historians, and what each wrote, and 1 don’t think I'll ever forget them. He smiled and said a little boastfully, “Historians aren’t all we have in Athens! Now let us go to the Agora. All the great philosophers are always there. He led Georgianna down the main street of Athens. Seeing a crowd of men out in the market place, she said to Pericles. “Who are those men? “This is the Agora. Oh, I see Socrates and his other friends. Ho you wish to meet them? “Why—if they don’t ask me any questions.” After Georgianna had talked to Socrates a little while, he said. “I’m going to give a lecture to these people. Would you like to stay and listen? Georgianna assented, but she was prepared to he bored. However, she was fascinated by the lecture, and as she stood next to Plato and Pericles, they explained to her what she didn’t understand. After the lecture, Pericles invited Plato, Socrates and Aristotle, whom she met later, to come to dinner that night. They accepted, and she left them, happy to think that she knew her three great philosophers. Pericles and Georgianna walked on. and she asked where they were going. He said. “We are going to see one of Aristophanes’s satires on one of Euripides’s plays.” Georgianna heard the hated ‘es again, hut it had ceased to worry her. because she considered them her friends now. When she arrived at the theater, she was greatly surprised. The audience sat on the sides of a hill, while at the foot of the hill was a stage. Pericles called together Aeschylus. Aristophanes and Sophocles—and they all sat down on the hillside. Georgianna wished to enjoy the comedy, and she was just a little disgusted when each of these men insisted on telling her the differences in all their plays. The conversation was just getting a hit over Georgia nna's head when she heard the welcome voice of Pericles, saying, “Well. Georgianna. we must hurry home if you intend to meet the artists at dinner!” Georgianna jumped up and said goodbye to all her new found friends, while in her mind she was thinking how these three philosophers with their long names would look on her history chart. Pericles conducted her to his house, which she had never seen before. It was situated just outside Athens on a hill, where olive trees are abundant Page 124 and lend luxurious shade. The entrance was most imposing, being made of four pillars with much carving and delicate painting about the large door. As she stepped inside she found herself in a court which was lovely. A colonnaded hall surrounded it. The floor and the court were made of a pale green tile, and in the court there were a fountain, a small pool, and many plants and trees. At the farther end there was a beautiful marble statue of Hestia. where Pericles worshipped. Opening off the hall was Pericles’ room, m front of which was a large balcony where Georgianna stood and saw in the distance the Acropolis and the city of Athens. There were many gardens about the house, where, in his idle moments. Pericles lounged, and discussed the games and other topics of the day with his many friends. Georgianna had a lovely dinner with the artists and philosophers. She sat next to Phidias, Pericles’ personal friend, and he told her all about the other artists. Praxitiles and Scopas. lie was not at all embarrassed when he told her the wonderful work he had done on the Acropolis. Georgianna was so interested that she asked Pericles to take her to this center of interest. They all started out together but on the way, Georgianna stubbed her toe, and fell. She grabbed at Pericles, but he seemed to dissolve in her fingers. She was very frightened, and she could hear him say in a faraway voice, “You have seen only our men. Stay and see how our government is run. see our buildings, our art. 1 intended to keep you a week and you’ve stayed only a day. You’ve fallen—Get up!” Georgianna opened her eyes to see her mother standing bv her bed, saying. “Get up, Georgianna. you’ll be late for school!” Georgianna jumped up and put her arms around her mother and said excitedly, “Oh mother, I had more fun with Pericles, and I know all my mer, and their names aren’t half bad!” Do you blame her mother for thinking something was wrong? As her mother left the room. Georgianna yelled. “And Mother—I love Ancient History.” Then her mother knew something was wrong. Ruth Cantillon, '22. A May Evening The moon was shining brightly, all the woods in silence lay. 'Phe forest seemed enchanted for it was the eve of May. Then from afar the blue-bells' chimes were blown in by the breeze. And at this sound the fairies flew from houses in the trees. Upon a mossy knoll of green they formed their fairy ring Reside a clear and sparking pool among the flowers of spring. Within the magic circle sat their piper Peter Pan. Playing his pipes for the fairies’ dance as only Peter can. The sleepy baby birds looked down : the wood elves peeped out too. They loved to watch the fairies’ wings changing from gold to blue. But at last when dawn had reddened the east, they scampered back to bed. For never, oh. never, may fairies be seen in a place where mortals tread. Betty Frankfurter. ’20. Piijco 125 No House is Large Enough For Two Families It has been said by some knowing gentleman that no house is large enough tor two families. I heartily agree with him. Even in a duplex where the partitions are guaranteed to be absolutely sound-proof, you may be sure that you can hear every word that is spoken above, and can very well get along without a victrola yourself because the people above have one. To be sure, the selections may not always bo to your liking, and very often you will have to listen to a funeral march when you feel like dancing or to a regular jazz-band foxtrot when you are dissolved in tears over the death of your pet angora cat. But such is life in a duplex now, and such it will always be. 1 have many times seen signs on apartments saying. No children allowed. and it was not more than two years ago that I actually wondered why some people wanted to keep out dear, sweet, innocent little children. But in two years I have learned what it means to live in a house with a child overhead whose chief delight it is to imagine herself a trotting horse and to gallop and frisk back and forth over my head. As you sit at your desk with your studies you hear her coming from the far end of the house, the noise increasing all the while, and you wait in a fever of intensity till with a last pound and dash she reaches the goal. Then you wipe the perspiration from your brow, and begin to wonder how far you'll be able to proceed through another Gallic war before the next overhead race begins. And so it continues through the rest of the evening till you give up translating in despair and decide to retire to the quiet and peace of your room—just as. of course, your friend overhead starts to bed. You just get tucked in and ready to doze off to sleep when you hear one great heavy shoe drop w� th a thud to the floor. You hold your breath and wait for the next shoe to drop, but after what seems hours of waiting you decide that that other old shoe isn’t going to fall. Then of course you try to solve the mystery of the other shoe. You think of all the possible things that could happen to a shoe in going from its wearer’s foot to the floor. You finally go to sleep with the idea that your friend above must have retired like the proverbial diddle-diddle-dumpling. my son John, with one shoe off and the othe shoe on. So it is that I say to you. my friend, that no house is large enough for two families, be it large or be it small. Page 12 1 Elizabeth Campbell, 22. I 127 We have all seen beautiful pictures of skies and sunsets painted by famous artists, but few of us notice the wonder of all miracles—a sunset painted by the Gods of the sky. It was at the close of a summer’s day and, as I came out on the top of a hill, I saw such a picture as has never been painted by human hands. All the glorv of God, the beauty of the heavens, and the color of all nature was gathered here and painted by fairy hands into one supreme effort—a sunset that marked the end of day, the end of all work and labor. Gradually the glorious colors changed to lighter ones, and before my very eyes a new scene was painted. The two were not to be compared. The first was triumph. Its glorious red, orange, violet and blue painted the knight at the end of his quest or the soul of man rejoicing at its victories. The second might have been called contentment. The softer tones told me of rest and peace, and as I watched, the ever changing colors formed the most beautiful of the three scenes. The colors were softer now, their beauty beyond all description. I can only say that for one long glorious moment my soul was carried away, and I found myself in a land of infinite peace where the sun was always shining, and where the glory of God gladdened the hearts of all. When I awoke from my reverie, the colors had almost faded, and night with its cool, clear air had come as rest from toil. HOW THE LOTUS FLOWER CAME TO BE There was once a maiden named Lotia. She was a very beautiful girl, albeit very vain, who had many suitors. Among them only one did she love. He was Carius, the bravest of men. Now one day Lotia, of the vain heart, decided to test her lover, the brave Carius. to see how devoted he was. She sent for him and said. “Carius. son of Lor I'orsena, I wish to see if you are as brave as men say. Therefore. go you unto Scylla and rid the earth of so great a danger. Bring to me one of her serpent heads.” When Carius hear this, he wept, but he knew that to win the lovely Lotia he must obey her commands. For many days he sailed, and at last he heard awful shrieks and groans. Thereupon he carefully sailed under Scylla’s rock and dropped anchor. But the gods warned Scylla of her danger, and she reached down to devour Carius. bravest of men. lie was ready, but while he fought one head, another seized him, and he was dragged out of his boat and killed. The crew then raised up anchor and quickly sailed away, so that they might not share the fate of their leader. In a short time, the ship came to Charybdis, a giant whirl-pool which seized the ship and drowned the men. Only one man out of all the crew escaped. He returned safely home, and told Lotia. most beautiful of women, of her lover's fate. The unhappy maiden was broken in spirit, and she wept many years. Five years withall she mourned for her dead lover, who had died because of her vanity, and none could comfort her. Finally, the gods took pity on her and gave her a potion to drink which made her forget all things. When she died, there grew on her grave a little white flower, which people called the lotus flower in memory of her. It was the flower of forgetfulness, and all who found and ate of this flower, were relieved of their sorrows. Katherine Horton. ’23. Page 128 Odysseus on the Isle of Thesonaplae An Added Adventure. After leaving the island of Helios, the small hand of brave Acheans sailed for six days and nights, and they slept not. for a great wind was at their back. When on the seventh day Dawn arose, the rosy-fingered. Odysseus sighted land, and he took himself quickly to his men and spake among them. “Good comrades, we have travelled long and are weary, but the deathless gods choose not that we should perish on the wine-dark sea. nor do they wish that we should yet reach our dear land of Ithaca, but they have put another adventure in our path. for. verily. I have seen a fair green land in the distance.” Then did the warlike Achaeans exert their strength to the utmost, atid they soon pulled their barque into a fair harbor. From this place. Odysseus sent seven men. headed by Eurylochus. to find what manner of man dwelt there. In the meantime. Odysseus and the remainder of the warriors held a great sacrifice by the sea. When they had put from them the desire of meat and drink, and the night began to throw her dusky mantle over the landscape. ( Mysseus grew anxious as to the whereabouts of his men and whether or not they had met with danger. For twelve days and nights, the small company awaited the return of their comrades, but on the thirteenth day. Mysseus sent another party to explore, for he believed that he would never again behold Eurylochus. Once more the expedition did not return, and Odysseus and the rest of his men went in search of them, for they thought that perchance they had come to such a place as the Land of the Lotus-eaters. They found that they had landed on a small island where there were no dwellings to show that human beings inhabited the place. When they were near the middle of the isle, they perceived a beautiful valley in which there were many lovely trees, burdened with fruit, and also a spring from which gushed much honey-sweet wine. The men could not he restrained from rushing into the valley, where, the moment that they stepped near the spring, a great crash was heard, and lightning flashed, showing, in place of the lovely orchard, a pit of unfathomable depth, likened unto a red hot furnace. This was drawing the men toward it as a magnet, and terrible groans came from out the yawning gap. Odysseus of many counsels was smitten to the core at hearing these sounds and seeing his fellows in such plight, but he was helpless to save them. Of the many Achaeans who had sailed from Troy for Ithaca in twelve swift ships, there was now remaining no one save himself. He then took himself back with all haste to the sea. to find, in place of the black ship, a huge vulture, lie was much awed, for he knew that this was the work of the deathless gods whom all must obey. He. therefore, bowed in obeisance and waited for the bird to speak. When he raised his head, the vulture had disappeared, and Athene of the grey-eyes stood beside him, and she spake unto him in soft and soothing tones. “(Mysseus, fosterling Pn o 12a of Zeus, be not downcast, for verily, thou didst hear from niightv Teiresias that it thou or any of thy fellows didst kill any of the kine of Helios, thou shouldst return late and alone to thy dear home. Therefore, ’tis the will of the deathless gods that thy men should perish on this isle of Thesonaplae on which doth reside the god Cheronius who doth pull all men who enter his sacred valley into the red-hot pit. But. Odysseus of many devices, get thee gone from hence right quickly on that raft, and sail until thou contest to the island of Calypso, and mind that thou dost as thou art by me hidden, so that thou mavest return unto thy dear Penelope and thy fair son, Telemachus.” And Odysseus did as he was bidden by Athene and sailed through wind and storm until he came to Ogygia, the island oi Calypso, where he was graciously received by the nymph and where he remained for seven years. A class theme. Virginia Capron. ’23. THE CARRIER PIGEON You think perhaps birds only sing and fly among the trees. But a bird 1‘ve seen has saved the lives of soldiers over seas. For in the Argonne forest we were hemmed in by the Huns, Fighting against hopeless odds, we had to face their guns. ur trenches were all shell-holed, and the sticky mud knee deep. Ye all were sick of fighting, and we all longed for some sleep. We tried to send a message back, which didn’t reach our line. It was about as easy as to cross the German Rhine. The Germans cheered themselves along and laughed with fiendish pride. They soon would take as prisoners all those who had not died. But suddenly their laughing stopped, for from our trench there flew, A little carrier pigeon to take our message through. The Germans cursed it in its flight, shots followed hard and fast. And every yard our pigeon gained we feared would he the last. It swerved, a bullet hit it. and we thought the shot would kill. But then a cheer rose from our trench, for it flew homeward still. Although its strength was going out. its breast half shot away. It brought word through the German lines, and saved our lives that day. The pigeons courage saved us. hut a power beyond our sight. Knew the Allies’ cause was just and guided the pigeon’s flight. Betty Frankforter, '20. P;� K 130 De «. V l’ase 13! FORM CONTRIBUTION’S Eighth Form IT MAY HAPPEN TO YOU l ime: Late in February.

But this year we are to have a full-sized Tatler with contributions from every class in school. Your class is the largest in school, so we look for some good things from you. 1st Girl, (eagerly): May we write jokes? 2nd Girl, (interrupting): I'd like to write a poem. 1 have a fine idea. “Once there was.........” 3rd Girl: I think it would be fine to write a good play for the Tatler. Miss G.: Very well. 1 cannot stop to discuss details with you now. When you get your material ready, hand it to some member of the Tatler board. But be sure to get to work at once so that we may have your work in good season.

(Girls agree. There is silence for a minute. Then sudden laughter). 1st Girl: Girls, don’t you remember what Ruth Harrison said about Sir Walter Raleigh’s being sort of a kind of a man and a pet of Elizabeth’s. I’m going to write that up.

(There is silence for a moment and increasing signs of unrest and discouragement.) 2nd Girl: 1 just can’t finish my poem. 1 can't get things to rhyme. I’ve half a mind not to try. 3rd Girl, (disgustedly): My play is no good! I can’t make anything happen in it. 4th Girl: And my story just won’t end. But why should I worry about the Tatler? There’s no one from my family in the Senior class. 5th Girl: I'd be glad to help, but I just haven’t the time. That old History topic takes so much time. 2nd Girl: Here goes my poem!

A note is quietly passed about the table. Finally one girl attempts to pass it in the corner of a book. The book falls with a crash, and the note flies out. Miss Stephens: What is that?

(Curtain) Seventh Form THE THANKSGIVING PLAY (W ritten by Seventh Form Girls as Theme Exercises) One of the dramatic events of the year was the Thanksgiving Play presented by members of the Sixth and Seventh Forms. Margaret Louise New-hall, who gave the introduction to the first act. explained that the purpose of the play was to show how the people of )ld England celebrated the spirit of Thanksgiving and the bringing in of the harvest. The curtain rose on a group of peasant reapers swinging their sickles to a harvest song. This pantomime gradually changed to a chorus. Suddenly a reaper from a nearby field called out, “I have it! 1 have it!” In reply to the question, “What have you?” he answered “The craw! The craw! The craw!” The group then gathered about the reaper while the craw was decorated with bright ribbons. Then the craw was held aloft while the harvesters danced around it. The craw was the last sheaf of wheat gathered from the fields. It marked, therefore, the close of the harvest and was often carried from farm to farm in the midst of much celebrating and merrymaking. The second scene represented the harvest feast after the grain was safely garnered. The introduction, given by Bertha Blakeley, gives the spirit of the scene: “Now I must enter Farm Hall and join in the songs to our Master and Mistress. It will be a goodly sight, that table with the Master’s round good-humored face and large person at the head o’ it helping his servants to the fragrant roast beef provided free o' expense and pleased when the empty plates come again. The Master, though usually blessed with a good appetite, really forgets to finish his own dinner. It i so pleasant to see him look on in the intervals of carving and see how the others enjoy the supper. For are they not the men that on all days of the year, except Christmas and Sundays, eat their cold dinners in a makeshift manner under the hedgerows, and drink their beei out o’ wooden bottles? But now the roast must be finished and the cloth drawn, leaving a fair, large table for the drinking cups and foaming brown jugs and bright candlesticks. Now the ceremony of the evening will begin, a harvest song in which every man must join. The song connected with the ceremony is a drinking song. 'Phis, perhaps, is a painful fact, but then you know, we cannot reform our ancestors.” The scene, as presented in our play, did not attempt more than the close of what is suggested by this introduction. The curtain rose just as the last of the feast was being carried away. The candles were then lighted, the ale was passed, a toast to the Master and Mistress was proposed, and the scene ended with a jolly thanksgiving song.

Judge Gary, Minneapolis, Minn. Indianapolis, Ind. February 5, 1920. Dear Sir:— We are studying Current Events, and we would like you to answer the following questions. For our New Year’s resolution we have decided to be more open-minded. In order to be more open-minded, we will have to find out both sides of the quarrel, such as that of the steel strikers. We have to find out the striker's side and your side. We are also writing to the strikers. We hope you will answer these questions. Yours sincerely. The Sixth Form. Questions to Judge Gary: Which of the strikers’ demands are unreasonable? Why? Do you let the strikers have a voice in the management of the factory? If not. why? How many hours do steel workers work? Why do you think the workers should not have shorter hours? llow many hours do you think the working men should have a day and why ? Why do you not wish to deal collectively with the strikers? How is the steel strike settled? A similar letter was sent to Miss Louise Grout of New York City, Treasurer of the Steel Strike Fund Committee, submitting these questions: Arc you still striking? Why are you striking? How long a day do you work? Why do you want fewer hours? llow do you plan to do away with the twelve hour day? Why do you not wish to work long hours when there is such a shortage of production ? Why do you not let men who do not belong to the union work? Why do you wish to deal with the owners collectively? Do you think the owners of mills are unfair to you? Why? An account of what Judge Gary and Louise Grout sent us. Judge Gary sent us some answers to the questions we asked him. He could not answer them himself, but he sent us these magazines. The American. Review of Reviews, Address by Elbert H. Gary at Trinity College, and Testimony of Elbert II. Gary before the Committee on Education and Labor of the United States Senate. Louise Grout, who is the treasurer of the Steel Strike Fund Committee, has not sent 11s any answers to our questions. The result is. that as we have found only one side of our question, we can publish only that. Pane 140 Judge Gary’s Views on the Steel Strike. Judge Gary says there is blit one reason for the steel strike, flic strikers want a closed shop. A closed shop is a shop where only union men can work. His reasons against the closed shop are as follows: Some non-union men are better workers than the union men. Judge Gary does not wish to put these workers out of his factories. Kighty per cent oi the working men are non-union, and the majority of men should be considered. The closed shop forces the non-union men to join the union often against their real wishes. The closed shop men wish less hours and so much money that the public will have to pay more for steel products. A man cannot obtain employment in the factories except through and upon the terms and conditions imposed by the labor union. If he joins the union, he is restricted by its leader as to place of work, hours of work, and advancement in position regardless of merit. In answer to the question about whether Judge Gary believed in the eight hour day, he said that he did believe in it for the reason that a man can have more time to himself for such things as athletics, fresh air, and being home with his family. The false reason for the eight hour day is that after the eight hours a man may work extra time for which he receives time and one half pay.

Pa«e 141 Synopsis of Ulysses on the Island of Phaeacia Nausicaa was the daughter of the king of Phaeacia. )ne morning the princess and her maidens went to the river to wash clothes. While the clothes were drying, they tossed gay colored balls. After a little while one of the maidens threw her ball far off, and it fell in the river. Then a shabby looking man came out of the woods and all the maidens fled except the Princess. The man asked the Princess tor a piece of linen to wrap about him, and she gave it to him. Then she took him to the palace. When lie got to the palace, they questioned him about his clothes, lie told them that he had been ship wrecked and that their daughter had given the garment to him. They had a bed spread for him. The next day they had games in his honor, and they gave him gifts. He asked the minstrel to sing of the fall of Troy. He wept while the minstrel was singing, and the king asked him why he wept. He told them he was the great Ulysses, and of course they were much surprised. Soon they bade him good-bye, and he went on his way toward home. Charlotte Williams. The Fall of Troy. The Greeks took to their ships. Their tents they burned. All seemed departed. But lo within the wooden horse there lay armed men awaiting Until their chance would come To sack proud Ilium’s walls! Then gazing from their towered walls Espied the Trojans’ horse of monstrous size Standing calm before their frightened eyes. Wide the Troians flung their gates. And rushing forth surveyed the horse. Of different minds they were ()ne thought to throw it to the sea. Another to consign it to the fire. 'The unwise Chose to lodge it in the towers, an offering Sacred to immortal powers. All Troy upheaved the mighty steed. Then, as by lightning a noisy rush A triumphant shout, and through the city Ran the Greeks. People they killed. Houses they burned. And by the God’s decree Proud Ilium fell. Written by Janet Morrison. Revised by Miss Carse.

Pag 144 Third Form A STORY I am a little dug and came to four children in the spring. They love me very much. My name is Spot. 1 have four black spots on me. The children often give me baths. It happened one Sunday that they gave me a batlu I shook my fur and got the children all wet. They spanked me and I cried. They petted me and I stopped crying. Then we played tag. 1 was It. 1 chased them all about. This is the way we play all the time. Betty Belden. A STORY I am Raggedy Ann. A nice way to start a story, but I am going to tell you the story of my life. I was made at Dayton’s. One night at twelve o’clock I fell off the shelf in the store. The Tin Soldier and the French Dolly soon had me upon the shelf. After that the cat and the dog asked me if I was hurt. 1 said that 1 never get hurt. When we were all on the shelf, I said. “I hope that a little girl named Martha will buy me.” And the very next day your mother came to buy me. That is the story of my life. Martha Eurich. A STORY I am a fairy. My name is Daisy. I live in Heaven. One day I came down to see a little girl named Helen. She was having a party for me. Helen and I had a cake and some ice cream. Then at six o’clock I went home. When Helen went to bed. 1 guarded her. The next morning when Helen woke up she found me standing beside her. Then she decided to live with me. So I took her up with me to Heaven. Helen Tuttle. Second Form One of this year’s projects in the second form has been the making of a lumber camp on the sand table. The accompanying story, written by the class, was one of the results of their study. A Lumber Camp This story tells about a lumber camp up north. If we went up there, we would find the men in the camp cutting down trees. After they are cut. the men saw off the branches. Xext they mark the logs. Then the carrier picks them up and loads them on the bob-sleds. The logs are hauled to the river where they are piled. When spring comes, the logs float down the river to the saw mill. There, they arc made into lumber and piled in the lumber yard. The lumber is made into houses and many usteul things. PitBt nr, THE DUTCH Now they scrub the window sills. 1'hen they scrub the kitchen floor. Then they scrub, and then they scrub. And then they scrub some more. Susan Barber. First Form HOW WE MADE OUR RAG DOLLS First, we folded half a newspaper so that both sides of the doll pattern would be alike. Then we cut our patterns out making them just as large as we could. Next we drew around our paper patterns on two pieces of cloth and cut out both sides of the doll. After that we hasted the two sides together and left a space under each arm to put the stuffing in. Then we overcast the edges, and our teachers stitched them together to make them strong. Next we turned our dolls right side out and stuffed them with cotton, using meat scewers to poke the cotton up the narrow places. Afterwards we sewed up the stuffing holes. 'This is what we have done, and now we will tell what we are gviing to do. First of all we ll paint our doll’s faces, necks, and hands pink and some of us will paint the legs and feet to look like shoes and stockings. Then we’ll make the eyes and nose and mouth. Some will paint them on and others will use yarn and shoe buttons for the eyes. After that we shall make the hair, some of us painting it. and others using yarn. When we finish our dolls we’ll make clothes for them: some will he dressed as boys and some as girls. We are planning to give the dolls a party when we have dressed them. Before we have it we are going to make chairs and tables out of wood: doilies out of paper, cloth, or oil cloth; and dishes out of clay with pretty colored painted designs on them. W e shall have crackers with butter and cottage cheese on them for the party. W e shall make the butter and cheese ourselves. Kintergarten OUR VILLAGE “I’d like t build a house for my paper dolls.” said Miriam. With permis sion granted she set to work. The foundation was strong and even. Doors and windows of good proportions were made. A sunparlor made the house quite finished. Last but not least came the steps. In this house lived Miriam's paper dolls. “I’ll build a store.” said Betty R. Without more adieu “Donaldson Co.” was erected. It boasts of hut one story and but one room. But no one would mistake it. for across the front and across one side is the printed name. “Donaldson Co.” Betty R. herself printed one card; W ebster printed the other. Presently a second house appeared “Across the street. This led to the necessity of marking off street and sidewalk. Trees of paper and street lights (beads made by Tavloe. Martha. Edith and Peter, adorned the thoroughfare. ill OSI-.I )n each side of the street buildings were being erected, with much discussion, when two worked together, as to where windows and doors should be. One day Clinton brought a fine hook and ladder and two drivers. For about half an hour, a fine play of the use of the fire apparatus was carried on. Presently Donald said. Let’s build a tire barn.” The suggestion was enough. Five boys went to work. Jack H. and Clinton brought blocks in the wheelbarrow and basket. Donald. Webster, and Foster built the fire barn. It was without windows, jutted out into the road, and was not adequate for the hook and ladder. The next day we all took a trip up to the Kenwood firebarn to see how a fire barn really looked and to see the apparatus with which the firemen help to protect us. Two days later Donald and Jack H. started a fire engine, out of red cardboard. It boasted of four wheels milk bottle tops), a seat, and running boards, one on each side of the wagon. While they were thus engaged Tommy C.. Foster, and Webster were busy remodeling the firebarn. A second story was added, for the children had learned that the firemen slept upstairs. A paste stick inserted in a big wooden bead served as a pole down which the men might slide. Foster made several beds for the men. In anticipation of a visit from parents during our absence, the children felt that all public buildings should be marked. So Webster printed a card for the firebarn. About this time we were talking considerably about the sending of valentines. Naturally, the children felt that the paper dolls should also have valentines and a postoffice. F.lizabeth Ann and Mary D. and Miriam made a fine big postoffice with plenty of good windows and. much to our joy. a revolving door (which of course couldn’t be revolved!) Isabel was not content with having just one story houses, so she made a fine two-story house. It strongly resembles a villa of some Southern Country, so many are its windows. Miriam felt that the bunny (of cotton) visiting” the kindergarten, should also have a house. Of course this house is tall and narrow to fit bunny. But he has plenty of fresh air. for the windows reach from floor to ceiling. As children occasionally become ill. so too, do dolls. Naturally there must be a hospital in the village. And so there is. It is a two-storv building with many, many windows, and two beds. One morning Marv 1). brought a toy bag of flour. After a discussion of the source of flour and its uses, the children decided it would be necessary to have a train to carry the flour to the village. An unsuccessful attempt to make a good station had been made previously. Tracks were laid too. The blocks used were not adequate, however. That structure was wrecked. The new one is just begun. Its erection will mark the completion of a very prosperous village. itaiaiaiaiiai . % l’nge UN (Notes from the only classes who responded to the Tatler’s request for “news” are printed as received.)

It took place on the evening of March twentieth, and every one was in the best of spirits as a result of our basket ball victory over Summit that afternoon. Miss Carse opened the evening with a short address about the Northrop League, telling what it stands for, and what its aims are. The repitition of our wonderful pledge brought the realization of our ideals very close to each girl. Then Miss Carse announced the names of those girls who had won merit badges for their work in different sections of the League. In the Senior section, there were a number of badges for excellent work in athletics, and several for splendid work in dramatics. In the Junior section a few badges were given out for hiking, and one girl earned her emblem through volley ball. With the ‘‘business ’ of the evening over, the audience gave itself up to whole-hearted enjoyment. The Sophomore class took it upon themselves to entertain the League members, and they did so royally. “The Lamentable Tragedy of Julius Caesar in Song and Verse”, kept the audience in the realm of mirth for the remainder of the evening. “Auld Lang Synne. “Clementine” and “Marching Through Georgia had rollicking words set to them and were sung in a lusty fashion. After the entire throng of Roman dignitaries had been ruthlessly murdered and had regained life, the curtains were brought together and the play came to an impressive end. After thundering applause had died away, the actors made their appearance once more garbed as Xor-thropites. After a few popular songs had been sung and a number of “jazzy tunes” had been danced to. the League members dispersed to their respective homes. The consensus of opinion is very strong that the Rally was a whiz and that the Sophomores arc royal entertainers. ()ctobcr the fourth brought with it the first social event of the year—the ( ld Girls' Party for the New. The custom of having this party is a very old one, a very splendid one. and one which every girl enjoys. It is here that the old and new girls really become acquainted and that the newcomers begin to realize that they belong to the army of Northropites. This year the party was a great success. Preceding the evenings entertainment the Senior Class gave a dinner to which went each senior and the new girl whom she took to the party. F.ven if that little “boost” on the road to friendship had not been received, nobody could have come through the evening’s gayetv without feeling well acquainted. From the moment that the gymnasium was first invaded until it was left in total darkness about two hours later, gay laughter filled the room. Dancing was only one of the attractions of the party, for in the middle of the evening, every one turned her attention to the stage. There one beheld a country school—and such a school as it was! Teacher and pupils alike sent the spectators into convulsions of mirth, and each one was indeed sorry when her clapping failed to bring back the players. Then Katherine Armatage and Page 132 Page 15.1 Margaret L’ewey gave one of their ridiculous, funny ■‘stunts”. Dressed to resemble greatly bedecked old maids of many years ago, they sang and talked until every one was weak from laughing. The final act was one which caused profound wonder and awe. In it the great Madame Xoitall (Delphine Moreau) demonstrated through the help of her medium (C.enie Crosby) her unusual gift of mind reading. Every one present was indeed amazed at the power which she displayed in answering questions asked by the audience. After more dancing and some refreshments the party came—all too soon—to an end. Each girl returned to her home, happy and feeling well acquainted. Our Halloween Party After much labor the decorating committee stood back to survey its work. We were well rewarded, for the Gymnasium presented an Autumn field with many corn stocks. Numerous boughs of Autumn leaves surrounded the windows and little pumpkins, big pumpkins, and pumpkins of all sizes seemed to glare viciously from the window sills. At half past seven the eighth form could be dimly seen talking earnestly in the gymnasium, while only the weird light from the pumpkins made it possible to see the ghost-like figures of our classmates dressed to represent either ghosts or witches. We had invited the seventh form, and as one by one they were admitted, loud groans came from the gymnasium, groans which nearly made the hair of the daring seventh formers stand on end. We had three witch corner screened off and decorated. Two were for fortune telling and one was also for tricks. Louise Belden was the witch in this corner, and after putting you through everything imaginable she would ask you to lick some soap and then generously offer you a glass of salty water. After we had entertained, the sevenths took their turn. In one game they made us put our hands through holes in a sheet. They held the sheet high, and we could not see what went on behind it. The object of the game was to cling to anything put into your hands and to pass it on. If you dropped it. you utterly failed in your subjects that year. The first thing was char from the witch's pecker. This. I afterwards discovered, was part of a burned potato. The next thing was a large piece of ice, and as soon as it was given to me. I dropped it. My fate has been a bad one ever since. “A harmless water snake” came next, which felt rather horrid in spite of the fact that it wasn’t real. We also had a “Skeleton Dance”. The girls who took part in thh had succeeded, after infinite trouble, in basting white strips of cloth on black bathing suits. Black stockings covered their arms and legs. When these weird creatures danced on the almost dark stage the effect was awful and uncanny. Then followed some dancing and fun. after which refreshments were served. Every one sat in the middle of the gymnasium P or to eat We ended the evening by clearing up and by having a general romp. Like all Other things this Halloween Party had to end. And I leave it to the reader to judge for herself whether we had a good time or not. Jane King. Eighth Form. Paste ir� Class Parties If in all the world such a strange person exists as a girl who does not like parties, she is an exception to the rule. Northrop girls are not exceptions. Parties in every shape and style are received with ecstatic clamorings and urgent appeals for more: class parties are received with wild enthusiasm. There is nothing which fills a Northrop girl with the same delight which she experiences when she is with her classmates at a “form frolic.” 1919 and 1920 have brought with them class parties of every variety. Teas and dinners and “all days in the country” and sleigh rides and luncheons—all have come in for their share of popularity. The Seniors have had three affairs— a dinner, a tea. and a “country fair:” the Juniors have had many—one of every description known to Northrop; the Sophomores had a sleigh-ride at the lake, and have since had some “get together” affairs; the Freshmen had a sleigh-ride (which was voted a huge success) and the Eighth Form had a very mysterious but thrilling Hallowe’en party. Yes. class parties are decidedly popular things. If you ever have any difficulty in finding a suitable definition for this very nice pastime, just put the question to a Northropite and hear all she will have to say upon the subject. Attention Northrop! The Dodd Mead Publishing Company in April sent advanced copies of (ieorge Weston's new book. “Mary Minds Her Business”, to book stores all over the United States, saying that three prizes were offered for the best criticisms upon it. Mr. Wells, the head of Power’s Book Department, submitted the writing of such a criticism to Helen Gage. She wrote it. sent it in— and waited. A short time later, a letter arrived in the Gage household saying that the second prize had been awarded to Miss Helen. Three cheers! She had competed with reviewers all over the country and had gently but forcefully pushed them (all but one) out of the limelight. Northrop is indeed proud of her rising young reviewer.

R How To Keep Well The following instructions were compiled for a Northrop student by our famous Dr. Killemquic: 1. Sleep until about eleven o'clock in the morning, then in a warm heated car. (be sure that no air comes in) set out for school without breakfast. 2. Drive over the bumps of Kenwood Parkway at top speed. In this way you will obtain your morning exercise with no exertion on your part. 3. On arriving at school, eat a midmorning lunch consisting of ice cream and dill pickle sauce. 4 Follow the mid-morning lunch with a turkey dinner. 5. Rest quietly until about 4 o'clock in the afternoon; be sure not to miss your daily visit to IVEY’S. 6. To rest your eves take in at least two movies, (this is conducive to clear thinking.) 7. After a six course dinner, stay up until at least midnight (later is preferred) dancing or studying. If these instructions are closely followed a modern young invalid will be the result.

Miss Vance has a happy faculty in all money matters that causes the funds to be lost daily, but each day some poor soul finds them and gratefully makes use of them. Another equally interesting organization to belong to is that of Contra Them All . The intentions of this club are to modify the comprehensive preliminary. and final system of college entrance examinations.

O R S H () C K “Indoor Sports” The girls of Northrop School are vitally interested in all forms of sports ami athletics. A week ago. the annual Parchesa Contest was held. The Juniors and Seniors were opponents, the Juniors being red. ami the Seniors being blue. The handsome board made of rose-wood inlaid with mother of pearl was laid out on a small table in the gymnasium. Over two hundred spectators crowded around to witness the fierce fight to come. The Juniors started off well by getting two men home first, but the star player on the Senior team. Eleanor Bishop, made several flying leaps and got three men home before her opponent did. Captain Crosby wot the day by running her man up the lane, two squares ahead of Elizabeth Me Lane, the Junior Captain. Loud yells of excitement were given silently. The Juniors, always the best of sportsmen, marched around the gym after their defeat, clad in their customary brown and cloth of gold bathing suits, singing “Waltz Me Around Again Willie . while the Seniors joined in their class song. “The Lost Chord.” Another game much indulged in by the Northrop students is winter croquet. The field is laid out on the ground on the left of the school, the snow and ice forming the foundation. I'ur bloomers, middies, and caps are worn by the girls when they participate in this much-loved game, the season of which la ts from the first snow storm to the first thaw. Interclass games among the intermediate and high school classes are now in progress. So far the seventh graders are ahead, having defeated both the Juniors and Seniors by a large score, and winning from the Sophomores with one extra point. The cla s of 1923. hitherto champions at this sport, are yet to be met Mme Grandjean, who lately arrived from France, coaches the girls in Swedish, and the teams are making great progress. Katherine Armatagc and Margaret Dewey. two members of the Senior team, seem especially to respond to the instructions given in this foreign language. A third popular sport is “water tennis.” Twice a week the dining-hall on the third floor is flooded half way to the ceiling, and the girls swim vigorously about after their balls. The game is especially difficult as the rackets have to be kept absolutely dry. Miss Mary Dibble, class of 1921 and champion of the school so far. has invented the bright idea of tying a pair of rubber boots about her racket and thus plays with perfect case and freedom.
