The maintenance and practice of a fine sense of courtesy is undisputably essential in all activities of life. 2. Cooperation is of paramount importance in every contactg in relation to teacher and pupil, in relation to whole-hearted support of curricular and extra-curricular activity, in the cultivation of a positive attitude toward any task. - - ' 3. Fair play in school, athletics, daily relationships with our fellowmen, marks a definite progress toward perfection in the individual, ultimately in the school. 4.

Helen Smith had to speak twice in the low voice re- b k hfllllfed by the library authorities before her friend looked up from the oo s e was reading. At first she was dazed by the interruption, and her red- illfllgled SYGS betrayed the fact that she had been reading steadily ever since boltgyvhy did You Skip Geology lecture, Myrna? I thought you'd used all your I d g',I1elen! What time is it? O-Have I cut Geology! What on earth shall o . . Swiftly there passed through Myrna's mind the remembrance of the scene with her father before her departure for college her Freshman year. Thomas Sibley, a druggist, seldom interfered with the plans of his children, but, when he did, no one disputed him. He had said to Myrna quite firmly, Remember, Myrna, that, though I see no sense in your having a college education anyway, I shan't make any objections as long as you take at least one science course every semester. You must do that much to please me. Myrna had faithfully endured this hardship for two years, but by the bef ginning of the third she had fully decided just what things interested her, and among them science was not included. She was deeply interested in rhetoric and literature and had discovered that she had quite a little talent for writing. The ultra-modern writers won her most passionate admiration, and her highest ambition was to reveal the gloomy realities of life, simply and artistically. In order to include all the subjects she desired to take she had received special permission from the dean of women for two and a half hours of extra work. Then, greatly pressed for time, she had developed a strong hatred for Geology. Helen interrupted her gloomy reverie. You'll be kicked out of class. Randall gives no favors, not even to the people he likes. And I'm quite sure you're no favorite of his. If I'm kicked out, there'll be an awful row. But don't worry, my special permission will save me from that. They'll make me drop my book reviewing course or something else instead. And I'm getting so much out of Professor Kane's classesg he is so interesting. The only chance I can think of is to go and see Randall and ask him not to report the cut. Well, my dear, said Helen, I wish you lots of luck in that, but I don't believe you can do it. Let's go get some Cokes at the Yellow Parrot. Even her daily Coca Cola failed to cheer Myrna, and on her way back to the Delta Gamma house she decided to try the plan of seeing Professor Randall. The next morning Professor Randall's consultation hour was nearly over when he saw a tiresome looking young woman enter his office. She was dressed in black which, though gloomy, was rather smart. Her mourning was further accentuated by a thick coat of very white powder on her face and dark circles, which were not artificial, around her enormous eyes., Ah, Miss-? I ' Hsibley. fm in your Geology class lecture periods at three o'clock, Monday and Thursday. ' O yes. What can I do for you, Miss Sibley? Inwardly Professor Randall remembered that he intended to give her a D. Twenty-three - A. - 0 'Tm Sure y0u'11 understand, Professor, Myrna began confidingly, I have used ever one of my three cuts, one on January twentieth, right after I started Y the course one February third, when I had a five thousand word theme to finish for Rhetoric. and one last week when I didn't feel well one day. What excuse did you have for the first time? Well, - I had to have a new hat for the Senior ball house party. and I cou1dn't find another minute in which to buy it, Myrna explained rather feebly. Then, in order that he might not have time to think about that, she plunged into her story. Yesterday professor, I went to the library right after lunch. I looked over my Geology notebook and decided that I had it properly prepared. Then I got out a book the American literature professor recommended Jackson's Con- temporary American Novelists -and started to read it. I swear to you, Mr. Randall, that I became so fascinated by that book that I never came to until a friend of mine discovered me there at four o'clock. You see I wasn't absent yesterday on purpose. It was entirely accidental. Ol you were absent yesterday, too? I didn't notice-then,-you've had four bolts haven't you ? Yes, that's what I came to see you for. I should so hate to have to give up the course, Couldn't you possibly overlook it? I might even do some extra work, if I had time. That D again presented itself to the professor's notice. I really do under- stand your predicament, Miss Sibley. I'm awfully glad that something interests you so much. And I can sympathize with your enjoyment of Contemporary American Novelists . It's certainly a remarkably well done book, isn't it? Though Myrna widened her eyes a bit in astonishment, she eagerly seized her opportunity. I knew you'd understand. I told my room-mate that you wouldn't report me if I explained just how it happened! I'm afraid you misunderstood me, Miss Sibley. In-as-much as you dislike science so-for I'm sure you do-I feel it my duty to report your absence. I don't believe in making people study things which don't interest them, even if miss- ing certain things makes them become too narrow-minded to really do anything worth while! Professor Randall swung around in the swivel-chair which he had found convenient on many similar occasions, and Myrna, feeling complete- ly squelched , ,wandered out and found her way to her ten o'clock class. Although Professor Kane was explaining the art of book reviewing in his eloquent manner, Myrna Sibley did not hear a word that he said. Could it be that she, Myrna Sibley, a broad-minded college student, didn't always look at both sides of a question? Why, Professor Randall, a mere Geologist, had as much as called her narrow minded! She did admit, however, that it had never occured to her before that science was progressing more swiftly than any other kind of knowledge. And progress! Isn't that our aim? When Myrna Sibley stopped at the dean's office that afternooon and an- nounced her intention of dropping Book Reviewing, two and a half hours, the assistant who went to look up her record was rather puzzled, for Myrna was certainly getting good marks in that kind of work, and there were no 520IK1Bl'?1iHtS from any of her professors. w W But the most astonished person was Professor Randall, Wl10Q by the Way, had forgotten to report Myrna's cuts, for that girl,,g - 1101-lgh E3-RB!!-1'?I1f91Y 111- different still to the thrills of Geology, wrote a fin2i,1,Lll-'3-gipgqlgiwhlgh fully deserved an A!

The thund.er roared and the lightning flashed, lighting up a Small, white room and showing a fair-haired boy of about twelve years Cgmefillg Under the bed clothes. When he uncovered his head to see if it were S 1' S orming, he showed a face as white as his pillow into which he again thxust h1s.head and there sleep finally found him. But upon awakening the nent morning his first thought was of the storm and he trembled as he thought of it although he was partially ashamed of his fear. Q He recalled other incidents in his young life when he had been thoroughly frightened and ashamed of his cowardice. Was he not afraid of those huge fire crackers and their terrific boom which so delighted other boys? Did he not always shiver and shake when he saw and heard gun-play in a movie? And did he not always tremble with fear when he lay in bed at night and heard the wind howl? Yes, he was frightened at all these things and said aloud, Gee, I must be an awful coward. The matter did not end there either for older boys in the neighborhood knew of his fears and persisted in calling him a coward and a sissie , afraid of his own shadow. Which indeed was almost true for he never dared venture out at night for he always thought that someone was following him or was hiding just around the next corner or a tree. ' It was night. The thunder rolled and the lightning flashed again lighting up a room where we see again not a young terror stricken child but a young man of seventeen with a pale drawn face trying to make himself believe he is not frightened. Surely , he thought, if I can't convince myself, nobody else will think I am not. A brighter flash than any which preceeded it lit up the room and died away. Then what was that light which steadily grew brighter? Why did it not die away? Realization dawned upon him. The apartment house next door was aflre. What should he do? The flames grew brighter. Had the tenants been warned? Were they aware of the fact that they were in danger? He tried to call but his voice refused to come forth. Then increased horror came to him. Why, he was in danger too! Many thoughts raced through his mind. What to do! How to do it! A new thought gradually took form in his brain. Many lives depended up- on his decision. Shouldn't he then conquer his own fear and brave danger for the sake of so many others. His mind was made up. He hastily Jumpedlfrom bed pulled on his clothes, and buttoned them as he went down the stairs in leaps yelling fire as he went. By the time he reached the street everyone in the same building was hastily appearing. He turned in a fire alarm and al-A most instantly he could hear the far-away sound of the engine. The firemen were not afraid of fire-let them rescue the tenants and carry them to safety. Fear overcame him again- 'dly filling with people, mostly women and children who d She sgiisgnwasofnataheir beds Wails from frightened children filled the air. ha een ' .7 t d h' her.

Up there in that window was the figure of a little child, its face filled with fear and the hope of rescue. The boy thought wildly, Why doesn't someone who is not afraid go to her aid? But nobody stirred. Again the thought of the firemen flashed through his brain, but they had made a mistake answering the wrong alarm. Suddenly there was seen to issue from the crowd a youth who Without hes- itating ran into the burning building. A hush! The crowd waited. A few minutes later two figures were seen in the window, then disappeared. He had got to her but could he return? In the boy's head different thoughts raced as he fought his Way through the smoke and fire-filled rooms, shielding the little girl. Why, he didn't feel afraid now! A feeling of responsibility rested upon him. He must save the child. A cheer rose from the street, hundreds of hands reached out to aid them, the boy and child. The burning building suddenly collapsed into flaming ruins. But he had won. Florence Caleb, Eng. IV. A Northern lbullke In the cool of an early morn, Like a smooth sheet of glass You lay stretched out in sleep, Revealing your inmost soul. The sun rose from your depths And transformed you to gold. You awoke, and sighed with reproach, Ruffling your surface, Obscuring your soul. The day wore on-your placid blue, Tipped with snow-white caps, Gave you a festal air. 'Gainst the horizon a boat plied by, Leaving a ribbon of smoke behind. Once, menacing clouds Turned blue to sullen gray. The sun sank into your depths, Leaving a path of reddish gold Over your peaceful, quiet waves. Mysterious, glowing with light, Refiecting the stars and the moon, . .1 You slept through the night. ' .-if. . .,l ' Ruth Hackley, Twenty-sig' O Adloupit Yourself IEQVE a friend named Bill. Of course, it is not unusual to have a friend by is common name but Bill is a remarkable fellow. E h U I n . thingsvigrsigfri he was knee hlgh to a Grasshopper , people predicted great had Eggexgogifdgggfilllitigifvith the highest honors in his class, we all thought he But somehow he hasn't landed. Bill says it is because he hasn't had the breaks. But perhaps if you followed him around for a day you would have a differ- ent theory. Bill has ideas about the way things should be done. They're clever ideas, far more clever than the average chap's. There's no doubt that if Bill had been God he would have been a humdinger. But Bill isn't God. Nor are his ideas the only ideas in the world. They are in constant competition with an enormous mass of other ideas, most of which are rather careless and sloppy. For carelessness and sloppyness William has no use. He won't tolerate it-he won't compromise with it. He wants things done in his excellent way or not at all. As a consequence they're not done at all. No one man, however brilliant, can monopolize the whole arena or direct the Whole show. Bill's career, like that of many other people, is being frustrated because he hasn't learned that fundamental law of adaptability. Adaptability is the secret of physical as well as mental evolution. Life on this planet has undergone terrific changes and upheavals. Ages and intense heat and intense cold, continual wetness, perpetual drought. Animals survived those changes not by their great strength but by their ability and willingness to adapt themselves to change. The infinitely remote animal ancestor from which man probably came was a tiny mammal hardly bigger than a rat. It survived the terrific ice age by growing hair which would repel the cold, and by modifying its habits. The great reptiles, who had lorded it over the world before the ice cap came down, did not survive. They had both brains and brawn, but they couldn't change their ways. So Evolution went on and left them behind. No matter how important you are, you are only a small cog in the enormous mechanism of life. You will get nothing out of that mechanism for yourself unless you adapt yourself to the other cogs. Whether you like it or no , you of other beings. ' I l 1 Their necessity is your necessity-their opportunity is your opportunity. James Sinclair. t r fate is enmeshed with the lives of millions Twenty-seven --lun, . 0 Houses What do houses harbor?

II. l Soiuntlliiceirml Adventure NE glaring, hot dusty afternoon, a small, rickety Louisiana train pulled up to a tiny platform, and, although exhausted after its journey, whistled shrilly in two rather short puffs and jerked to a stand-still, awakening the only person visible. A young man, obviously a gentleman by his dress, stepped from the one passenger car, carrying two brief-cases, and a small satchel. Then the train puffed on again leaving the two men looking curiously at one another. My name is Delton, could you tell me how to get to the nearest store? inquired the stranger, a tall, young looking man with stooping shoulders and an academic, city-worn air. I want to get some camping equipment and provi- sions. The native yawned, stretched, and having supplied the necessary informa- tion, immediately proceeded to fall asleep again. Seeing that it was uselessto obtain further help, the stranger started down the dusty road. which he had been shown. If I can only find that orchid the name of Professor Delton will find its place in scientific circles. ' On the same afternoon, another person was traveling along a road. A light wagon, drawn by an ancient looking horse, moved slowly in the hot sun. Piled in the back were various bundles one of which like af tent, rolled up. In the wagon was seated a tired, discouraged but looking gentleman. This gentleman was no less a Blythe, known the country round for his enormous in fact, the motive for the Colonel's journey. His the point where it was a case of either paying his debt fun' down plantation which the Blythes had owned for was unthinkable, some miraculous means ml1S be former, and the Colonel thought he had found.

Dire necessity now demanded another search. -Next day found Professor Delton very busy in a shady clearing of a swamp, setting up a tent and establishing his camp. In fact, he was so very busy and intent on his work that he did not hear the soft thud of falling packages some distance away and was not aware of the presence of Colonel Blythe in this very swamp where he expected to work unmolested. u But someone else heard them and that someone scowled darkly and his slight, bent negro form shook with apprehension. Who could have broken the solitude of his hiding place? Whoever it was wouldn't get him, torture him and make him a slave againg he would kill them first. As night fell over the great swamp two campfires burned cheerfully but so dense were the trees and bushes that the two campers were totally unaware of the presence of the other, while the place where a third fire should have burned was ominously dark and still. The hours passed ong supressed excitement and witchery prevailed the swamp. Not a star twinkled in all the sky, the trees rustled high up but not a breeze reached the earth. Neither the Colonel nor Professor slept but passed the night in wishing for the daylight so that each could start his search. I Finally the shadows lifted and the welcoming chirp of many birds was heard, and the verdant woods immerging from its sleep sparkled with the fresh dew. The Colonel and Professor set out after an early breakfast, one to search for gold, the other for a precious flower. ' Neither was successful, and, returning home in the late afternoon, unex- pectedly came upon each other. So jealous was each one of his quest and his great belief in it that he immediately concluded that the other was after the same treasure. Had not the northern newspapers been full of the Professor's search and had not all the south heard of the famous Blythe gold? So certain was each that the other's presence meant evil that only hostile glances were exchanged. Professor Delton was so tired after the events of that first day that he de- cided to spend the following day in camp, but the Colonel set out even more eagerly than on the day before. . h to a little clearing where va small hut stood.

To his dis- se ' . te nf it held ngthing but a scrap of paper. He was about to thrust it. appom me 11' e es caught the word Blythe . Who, upon seeing his own name, back When ls y circumstance, could resist examining further? especially in such a strange Twenty-nine ' 0 Imagine the Colonel's amazement to find that this unimportant appearing scrap of paper was the map which would disclose the hiding place of the gold. Sud- denly, as he was trying to think how the map could have gotten there, he remem- bered how,as a boy, he had seen a certain slave severely beaten for disobedience. how this slave had cried out in his anguish that he would get even sometime, and that about a week later he had disappeared. This slave must have stolen the map, knowing its great value to the Blythes, and hidden in the swamp ever since. Realizing his dangerous position, Colonel Blythe hastily withdrew, taking the precious map with him. He resolved to obtain the treasure that very after- noon after a hasty dinner at camp, and then get out of the swamp before the negro should discover his loss. Meantime Professor Delton had decided that his fatigue had vanished and determined to continue his hunt. He had hardly been gone an hour when he came upon the Colonel creeping swiftly but stealthily along. Something about his excited,manner convinced Delton that he had made an important discovery and thereupon decided to follow the Colonel at a safe distance. A little further on the Colonel stopped before a huge rock and, after look- ing around, nervously. suddenly stooped and thrust his arm inside a deep niche close to the ground.. Looking up at this moment Delton was not a little startled to see a dark form creeping up behind the unsuspecting Colonel. The negro held a knife in his grasp and just as he was about to stab the Colonel, Professor Delton rushed out of his hiding place, and, with a sharp blow from a club which he carried to ward off snakes, knocked the negro to the ground. Startled by the noise, Colonel Blythe whirled around. As the significance of the situation dawned upon him, the Colonel silently grasped the right hand of his supposed enemy. I hope you'll accept half of this gold , he said, just as though he hadn't suspected Delton of wanting it all. ' Gold.? Who wants gold! exploded Delton whose nerves had the best of him by this time. I want one of the most beautiful things in God's universe, a new species of the orchid, not gold ! and he excitedly described this wondrous flower to an amazed Colonel. t Why, I saw just such a flower near that negro's hut. It's probably there ye .rs But what about the negrog what should they do with him? Perplexed, they turned to regard. that unfortunate being only to find that he had disappeared. Should they try to find him and take him back to civilization? I think , said Professor Delton, that I'll get that Hower and then go back to the city, much as I'd like to stay here and enjoy the peace that pervades this swamp , he added yearningly. Let's leave the poor fellow here. To bring him back to civilization would mean sure death to him, That night two forms quietly left the swamp, one with EOM, the other with the flower which would bring him fame, while to a poor, fQrg01S12e11, black U19-H was left all the wealth anyone could wish for, the peaceful beallty the swam?- Rutn HaekIenf.Ene, III- -Thirty - .

He patiently repeats his call, But his mate has wandered far, She never will return to him, Howling at the cold north star. Listen! A noise!

With this he drew his hand back in preparation to administer a smart cuff on the boy's head, only hesitating at a calm voice from the doorway. Joe King, you have punished my children just about long enough. You have made my life miserable by your everlasting drinking and cruelty. Doreen is black and blue yet from your last pounding. Now, you even dare hit my lit- tle Paul, and I won't stand for it. Go, and don't come back! All this from a woman who rarely uttered more than half a dozen Words at a time. But Amelia- You heard what I said, get out! It was only when he perceived a revolver leveled in her hand and realized her desperation that he turned to leave. However, he could not resist a part- ing shot. Very well, my dear Mrs. King , bowing low, Whin ye've made your first million, I'll call at yer Fifth Avenoo mansion. And with an ugly laugh he slunk from their shanty-like residence. As the mother soothed her frightened child, who clung to his mother's skirts, a curious light shone in her eyes. Was it relief,-or despair? In the doorway of a small house on the outskirts of a middle-sized western town, stood a woman peculiarly similar to that mother who many years before had so bravely defended her small son. Although the back was more stooped from hard work, and the hair was now quite gray, there was still that resolute and determined air about her, which had always made her appearance singular- ly impressive. In her hand she held a week-old newspaper and as her eyes chanced upon a small, unimportant article in a lower corner, she started, and her whole iigure grew tense. It was a notice of the death of Joseph L. King, long sought after by the police as a notorious bootlegger. Death had been caused from an injury received in a recent automobile accident. Dead-dead. Now my heart is free. Now my heart is free. We shall never have more cause for fear.

During and :Od er S USS' life, Doreen had practically brought up the younger children he g 8 amlised them from childhood by the creatures which she evoked from r lmagina ion. Now she gathered the two youngsters on her knee for a tale. The mother stood watching another son, Paul. As she peeped over his shoulder she was enthralled as she saw his fingers skillfully mark, mark, mark as he put the finishing touches to the head of a sleeping child. She has always encouraged her son's desire to draw, for she remembered the time in her own youth when she has been denied the same privilege. As she turned to re- sume her ironing, which she was late in finishing, she questioned her daughter. Is Frank coming tonight? Yes, Doreen flushed faintly as she answered, He wants to take me in to see his mother. Frank was a tall masterful, young fellow who owned the largest clothing- store in town. He had been considered a good catch by the young ladies in the vicinity for some time but had been heart-free until he met Doreen. It was the common opinion of the town gossips that Doreen would take him in a flash if he proposed to her, but as yet nothing had happened. That Frank was in love with her, Doreen knew, but she rather dreaded the day when he should speak, for she did not wish an end of their jolly friend-ship. That evening, as Frank's small roadster drove up in front of the house she had a feeling that things with her would never be the same again. Somehow, something inside of her revolted against the change, yet she was helpless. There was no sleep for Doreen that night. Frank had proposed, had plead- ed, stormed, threatened, an'd finally was silenced by her agreement to give him an answer? Should she allow him to burden himself with her whole family to support for many years? But no 5-this would be impossible. His income could never be stretched to such an extent. Still, shouldn't she consider her own future? She loved this boy and. had always longed for a home of her own. That they would be happy she was very sure. Then, the picture of her young sisters had confronted her. Her mother, weakening under the years of slavery for her children, could not pursue her rigorous routine many more years. With their main support gone, what would become of three little child- ren, thrown upon the mercy of the world? Who would care for the twins, mere babies as yet, and keep them carefully sheltered? Who would see that Paul secured training to develop that wonderful talent of his for drawing? All these questions arose to shame her for even thinking of deserting her loved ones. .As she at last reached her decision she flew into a frenzy of weeping, sobs racking t her very soul. She was shedding a tear for every one of her lost dreams, now flown away into the land of the might-have-been. When ded, she was perfectly calm, resolutely determined to carry through her plan of renouncing her sweetheart and devoting herself to her her body and tearing a the storm was 011 family without hesitating or falteriflg- Thirty-three is -0 - Twenty years later Doreen King is sitting staring vacantly at a book which lies upon her lap. Her Fables for Children has long since become popular throughout the world. On the face of this old, young woman is written sadness and loneliness. She had refused to live with the twins, who are now both hap- pily married, and seems content to sit alone in her rose-colored cottage day after day. Her only visitors are her sisters and brother Paul, a now famous portrait painter. After the gallant mother's death, Doreen had been engaged, continually, in her struggle to keep the family safe and happy. She had suc- ceeded.. Her work is now over. Is there one little regret for her sacrifice? None. Her only remorse lies in her feeling that she has missed something big. Of course she is not sorry,-but why, why that everlasting and eternal, gnaw- ing pang, clutching and bleeding her heart-? ' Marion Fuller, Eng.

Scientists and philosophers claim, that every minute of our day should be occupied by a certain definite task . 'Just what should these tasks be? Civilization misunderstands the true desire of these well meaning thinkers. People are too literal in picking out their tasks. Some think their main task in life is finding enjoyment in life for themselves. They play all their life without ever attempting to do an honest day's work. Under this class comes the so-called idle rich and idle poor. There are others who work earnestly from day to day in order that they may honestly enjoy the earning of their living. These people are the ones that the world admires and the ones that will generally receive the well done. This is not an essay criticising part time idling because the author, at not too frequent intervals, enjoys idling away time and forgetting all cares of life. Personally there is no harm in this because the relaxation is of so much importance to our mental and physical welfare. But the author also personally believes that the world would be much better off if all the perpetual idlers were exterrninated from the earth. Certain exact persons of the present day make a budget of all their time during the day. They do a certain exact thing at a certain exact moment on ex- actly every day. This is one thing that is not advocated by the author. This bud- get system would make machines of humans and life would be a dull, monot- onous grind. Morris Speed, Eng.

The sun, a huge ball of flame, beat on a lonely, desolate, old figure, tottering uncertainly over the pavement. Spring was in the air but in this man's heart there was winter-a cloudy, murky, most terrible, stormy winter. Was it so? Could it be? After twenty years-but, no, it seemed impossible. What should he do? All his planning-should it be carried out? Ah, yes! He smacked his lips. An unearthly light leaped into his eyes. His crouching figure gathered elasti- city and strength. Youth radiated from him. His cheeks were a feverish red. Oh, Lord, how kind you are , he breathed. Suddenly he wheeled about and almost ran up the street. About two blocks before him he spied a tall. thin, black-dressed figure. At last , he ejaculated. He hastened his steps. Pedestrians stopped to look at the crazed creature perserveringly trying to make his tottering steps straight and even. He has stopped, lifted his head. He stands still. He looks at a sign over the door. His lips move for perhaps two minutes. Again he turns around and at a rapid pace continues his walk. f Night!

I will never forgive you! h The- hours flew. It was evening. The breeze was sighing. The birds chirped in a wistful tone. A strange feeling of melancholy pervaded the whole atmosphere. Still that figure tossed and murmured. Suddenly the door flew open. A tall man, dressed in black stumbled into the room. The figure on the bed rose immediately. BroskofT, is that you? Rotzky is feverish no longer. A devilish steel- gray glint appears in his eyes. He rushes towards the newcomer, attempts to strike him but falls to the floor instead. After a long struggle he finally rests his head on his hand and screeches in an unearthly voice. You murderer, scoundrel-you killed my wife for a jewel-a bauble. Twenty years I have suffered. You escaped to America but I-I remained in Russia and reared my children. Ten years I have looked for you. At last I have found you and now- Oh, Rotzky, listen. I did kill your wife. I murdered her in cold blood. but do you realize that I was intoxicated at that time, that Renee, a notorious French actress was my companion? She wanted that jewel. I had no money. Father had disowned me that evening. He was disgusted at my conduct. I was desperate. I cared not what I did. Yes-the murderer of your wife, but how he has suffered. His voice broke. Words came in gasps. His whole body shook so with emotion that it seemed he would fall to pieces. I am at least fifteen years younger than you. Oh, how old. I look. Twice as old as you-never written to my parents-mother died-from grief caused by my disappearance-father's dead. He has willed his whole immense fortune to me. I never married-have no friends-nobody to care for me. The last words ended in a gasp. The steely glint in Rotzky's eyes softened. 1 r sta ed for a long period in any one place. Your wife's terrified featuregelirjve habilnted me. Twenty years of this-twenty years! Then in a despairing voice, When will it all end? The wicked gleam in Rotzky's eyes vanished completely.

Up the street walked a young Jewish boy, a friend of Rotzky, and knocked at Rot- zky's door. No answer. He knocked again. Still no answer. Sensing some calamity, he hurled his strong young body against the door. The weak struc- ture gave away. He peered into the semi-darkness. On the cot he saw Rotzky's bodyg on the floor lay a lanky, black figure-a revolver in one hand. Upon closer inspection he saw that in the other hand he held a piece of paper.

About sixty percent of our English words are derived from Latin. Animal and conductor are the same in each language. Versus is a Latin' word. We have set aside a day each year and named it Arbor Day. Arbor is the Latin word meaning tree. If you wish to be a nurse, doctor, lawyer or a pharmacist, you need Latin. To enter any college Latin is required, Latin is the base of all languages and is therefore interesting. It gives you a social background. Dorothy Jordan, Lat. I. MH Uipinniami af latin ll Class S you enter the Latin room an attractive bulletin board greets you each day. On it there is a new announcement or addition to the collection of pictures. I am especially interested in Latin and certainly I should be for there is everything there to make it interesting. The teacher is always glad to help us in our work. She tries to make it more interesting by having spell downs, by encouraging us with a Latin club and various other things. Of course my favorite subject is Latin, and my greatest desire is to be a member of the Caesar class next year and enjoy the opportunities there offered. Eleanor Marshall, Lat. I. The latin ll Class T the first of the year there were so many pupils desiring to take Latin that there were two classesg one in the morning and one in the afternoon. We studied hard and soon were reading short stories in Latin. By about the first quarter our number was reduced and finally there was only one class: which recited in the afternoon. The period in the morning, formerly for the other class, was made our period to study Latin. About the mid-term new seats were put in the Latin room to replace the old arm seats. 'This was a very great improvement, and we took more pride in our class. We have organized a Latin club with meetings every month. Qur first meeting will be after the Easter vacation. We expect to have a. iinejtlme. All things considered, Latin is the best subject in the student's curriculum. It helps in grammar, trains a student's mind and is interesting, Every student in High School should take at least one year of it. . G. E. BLQQMINGDALE. LAT- I- Forty A A ' if . Jefisl' if y..

' ' P ' ' Jeanette Stein, French 1. Pierre, lLe Musieiem Une fois, un petit garcon qui s'appella Pierre, demeura en France. Son seul but dans la vie fut de devenir un musicien fameux. Toute sa vie, il avait appris tout ce qu'il pouvait de la musique. Son pere avait ete un musicien fameux dans ses yeux. Beaucoup de fois, il s'etait assis sur le plancher a c6te de son pere et avait entendu son pere jouer du violon pendant quelques heures. Comme il aima entendre jouer son pere! Ah, qu'il puisse etre aussi un musicien fameux! Le pere de Pierre n'etait pas devenu riche mais il etait tres pauvre luttant pour obtenir un beneficepour sa femme et son petit fils. En effet, combien de vrais musiciens etaient jamais riches? Les gens les plus pauvres dans a vie sont souvent ceux qui voient la beaute dans la vie-ils ne grippent pas toujours les choses plus belies et plus grandes. Les riches sont souvent egoistes et fixes sur ses propres centres, ils ne pensent que gagner leur vie et 9. procurer des richesses et plus d'aise. Quand le pere de Pierre est mort, la coeur de Pierre s'est cassee avec douleur. Il avait aime son pere tendrement et maintenant qu'il l'avait perdu il a beaucoup pleure. Il le fallut, maintenant, faire son mieux, pour supporter sa mere, et avec une coeur pleine de determination 11 a commence a faire son mieux. ' A 1 ort de son pere, Pierre etait donne le violon qui autrefois avait vec a m ete at son pere. Il cherit ce violon et toujours 11 pensait a son pere quand 11 . . , . , . 1 jouait. Il sembla que Pierre avait herite le grand talent de son pere pour a musique et sa mere travailla et sacriiica pour que Pierre devint fameux un jour. Il etait enseigne par les meilleurs musiciens de la fois et il a travaille dur. Comme resultat il se developpa dans un musicien accornpli. t l ouffrance tous aident A faire les musiciens Le sacrifice, la douleur, e a S , .

Ethel Durham, French III. Forty-three fit . tm l' r e -- 0 3' A L When Time Was Missing HE day had been hot and sultry, and I had studied history until I had fallen asleep. Those were probably the main reasons why my dream of that night had been so utterly impossible. The characters seemed to have jumped out of my history book Csometimes I wish they wouldj without paying any attention whatsoever to the respective era in which they lived. Evidently they had want- ed a vacation just as much as we do now, and they had taken it Cas we also do, the only difference being that they were not punished in returnj. Anyway, Louis XIV was giving a party at Versailles. The court was arranged in its best splendor with furniture of the best pos- sible material and with Wall hangings of gold and brocaded cloth. Various historic people were walking around or calmly listening to a most peculiar orchestra. A number of people were playing shepherd's pipes, harps, drums, cymbals, and lyres, while Palestrina himself was playing the organ. In one corner, surrounded by her maids, who were trying their best to make their mistress comfortable with the slowly moving fans, was Cleopatra, talking with Shakespeare. Cicero and Luther were trying to outdo each other in speak- ing. Philip II and Ptolemy were arguing as to the best way to rule a country. Caesar and Peter the Great were discussing a most unsuitable subject, assass- ination. Calpurnia and John Gutenburg were strolling arm in arm. Peter the Hermit seemed to be mistaking a chair for the city of Jerusalem, for he was walking around it barefooted. Erasmus, Leonidas, and Hannibal were evident- ly trying to form a third Triumvirate. Catiline and Mohammed were playing hand-ball together. Nebuchadnezzar was escorting Catherine de Medici through gardens, not at all resembling the Hanging Gardens. Alexander the Great stood on the roof with a pair of spy glasses, evidently looking for more lands to conquer. Phid.ippides was at his best, for he seemedeall over the place at once. Praxiteles and Michelangelo were exhibiting their best works in sculptoring to each other. Socrates, the poor man, was redrinking his cup of poison hemlock. There were many others, so many that I could fill a book with the descriptions. It seemed as though wonders would never cease. Such a great display of costume can hardly be imagined. The clothing of the men ranked from Caesar's bloody toga to that of the nobility of the Middle Ages, with the toes of their shoes tied to their knees. Full skirts, high crowns, fiowing sleeves, tight sleeves, large hats seeming to be piled on the head like so much snow, loose robes adorned with precious jewels, EOWHS dyed with Tyrean purple, armor, long trains and many others styles were seen on the women. Here comes Anne Boleyn, strangely enough a servant in the palace, to summon the guests to dinner. Clang! Clang! Clang! she hits a large metal ring, or no, it is the clock. And my history is not yet completed for class- Jeanette Stein. History A- Eorty-four 'Wifi fl' ,WWW 'VE 1 J' if'.J N' f b.. L mf .fa Fi sift xx X 0 , R-Cfvraf .ff Cofumlrui 1 E -.

M. L. Miller, History C. When I started to study history It was certainly hand to tell The things which were important On which my mind should dwell. But when I'd read my lesson, Two times or perhaps a third, There were always some things Which seemed to me absurd. So I picked out the main points Which to me made an appeal And studied them, Oh ever so hard Already to give a good spiel . But next day when I went to class They from my memory fled And there I sat a 'dumbell My face was flaming red. But the teacher wasn't angry Oh No! she only said You report to me at four o'clock And get these things in your head . But soon it became quite easy The important things to tell- , Q So still I like to hear the sound. ' Of that familiar classroom hell, ' - 'I -. s 1 1 'J.. Gemiee Forty-six ' O What report? Oh, I didn't have time. Daily, not yearly, this identical answer is flung forth in our History C class, What! Didn't you know we have a History C class? Well, we have, and it is some congregation. What one doesn't know the rest is sure not to understand. Our souls are those of the wise men. We're sympathetic with Columbus, but disgusted with Champlain. We idolize our Washington, but believe me, we dare not talk about his little hatchet and that nice young cherry tree. Lincoln's perfect as an orator, yet sympathy he lacks, for only those who know this course know what he left to learn. And then Wilson took upon his hands the job as president and gave us more material for tests to be passed. Last, but not least, is the labor required to learn the things which Coolidge did and Hoover hopes to do. I'll turn in that report before I go home, Miss Dempsey . Leslie Reed, History C. ,, Lf- I very much resemble That great king Louis XIV. Perhaps you've never noticed that But here's the proof of it. Louis XIV liked long wavy hair, And so do I-when it is fair. I like high heels-red, And so did he-bless his regal head. He wore feathers in his cap, fed as tile- And so do I-when the're in style.

That is the way in which many pupils look at the whole high school course which is offered. If they do not think the work will aid them materially they pay no heed to it, not realizing that certain subjects will help to round out their education. The commercial course now offered in our high school will exactly suit this type of pupil. This is the first year that a commercial course has been included in the curriculum of Oakfield High School. It offers to a pupil two years of type- writing, two of shorthand, and one of bookkeeping. So you see when you have finished this you have quite a commercial education. A In typewriting everyone has his own machine and everyone must learn to write without looking at the keys. By practice you learn where the letters, numbers, etc., are. Of course one must first learn the names of the parts of the machine and their use. In the course the pupil learns how to write letters, how to arrange the work on the paper and many other things equally interesting. The aim in typewriting is accuracy and speed. Now after 30 weeks practice nearly every pupil can write on the average of thirty-five words per minute, some more, some less. Shorthand is also of interest to the pupils. It is really fascinating to see how you can write words with strokes. At first a page of shorthand looks like so much Greek, but gradually the mystery of it is unraveled and it is all clear. As in typewriting, speed is the aim in shorthand. In bookkeeping class the pupils gain experience and have practically the same work that a real bookkeeper would be likely to have in an office. Thus you see when one graduates from the Oakfield High School with a business course as a part of his education, he is ready to earn his 'living as' a stenographer or bookkeeper. - ,N ' Q Thelma E: Myers A Doris Hotchkiss' Forty-eight 4.-gwfg -if ,.,,,:' ' .. x ,,, J .J , f, Forty-nine 15 1 glfi. - 0 Manual Training' V URING vacation last year, the shop in the basement was equipped with an electric saw, planer, lathe, and a complete set of toolsfor the accomodation of at least twenty pupils at one time. When school opened in the fall there was a great desire among the boys for this new subject and the shop became crovvdi ed witheager carpenters-to-be. As the term progressed only a few dropped out and. others came into the course., Under the competent direction of' Mr: Pieidler many finished products have been turned out which equal the products of the furniture factory. Book racks, taborets, hall trees, book cases, baskets, benches, cabinets, electric lamps, and many other turned articles been producedgwhich are real works ,of perfection., ,Provision is also made the finishing of these articles in a finishing room at one end of the shop, A is supplied with brushes, stains, enamels, paints and varnishes. -Many lumber are furnished for the pupilsQ Pine, oak, gum Wood cedar, from which cedar chests are made.

This course is, and probably will fascinating for the boys who like to get out of two study periods ever-it is a step in our school toward vocational training, for more interested in materialeducation.

The first year consists of a course in cooking such as is done by the average. The second year, a course in quantity cooking and practical sewing IS offered and in the third those who show talent may take a course in interior decorating. Every average American girl will probably some day have a home of her own, therefore. in order to make this home efficient as well as comfortable for her family she should be acquainted with all the latest methods of housekeeping. It is because of these necessities that every girl should avail herself of the facilities offered in our school. Jean E. Farnsworth, Home Economics II.

H. S. and as a result the alumnae won 47-29. It certainly seemed good to have a week's rest after which I resumed my duty. This time I still did not know enough to support my team and again we lost to the Alumnae 50-27. Then came the Scottsville game, my first venture out of town. Ginger Searls threw me around so wildly that night that I dropped into the basket con- stantly, making the score 5-17, in our favor. South Byron played here nextg therefore I had no bus ride and was handled quite easily, the score being 17-22, our favor. Then to Churchville, and they surely tossed me about, not letting me stay in my friends' hands a minute. Of course the result was 36-17 in their favor. Now another ride to Bergen, where Dorothy Derwick used me pretty rough- ly, however, they won 23-18. Well, I sure had fun at this game, and Gerry Schultz didn't let me rest a minute, making me nearly exhausted. Hurrah! we beat Scottsville 23-8, Some game, well I guess Bergen proved too good for us. I sure hated to fall in their hands but I did so much, they won 20-15. I Was all off in the Churchville game and didn't hit my basket enough, so consequently they won 36-20. The last game at South Byron proved plenty of fun for me. I fell into my l't s. home basket so many times that I was all swelled up and nearly sp 1 my seam The game ended 26-13, in our favor. th ' ' nded I do hope the coming teams will use me as wel1I:aIgvt,hl1s1ifea1 Z?cZ3jrr1irl1ziZ.e Anyhow I say, Good Luck to you,' as nearly all of my old mates will be gone next Year- Individual points made by each Player afei 1 M.

On May lst we played our first baseball game of the season. The game was scheduled to be played at East Pembroke but because of wet grounds it was played at Oakfield. Due to the fine pitching of Leslie Reed, our captain, who allowed only a few hits we were able to defeat them by the score 2 to 1. Our next game was played with Corfu on May Sth. This game proved to be a fairly easy game for Oakfield with the final score 8 to 0 in favor of Oakfield. In this game the first home run of the season for Oakfleld was scored by Her- bert Long. On May 10th we played our iirst game away from home at East Pembroke. In this game Oakfield could not seem to get agoing and when the game ended the score was 8 to 6 in favor of East Pembroke. During the game there were exciting moments when three home runs were scored by two of East Pembroke's players and one by Sam Triglio of Oakfield. At the time of the publication of this book we had three games yet to playg a return game with Corfu, and two games with Alexander. Sixty-four F q rv 'A l?5g.7g'E1' 'TTY' ,.

The basket-ball games between the Alumni and High School teams aroused considerable enthusiasm on the part of the spectators. The scores showed undeniably that the Alumni possess qual- ities which result in excellent basketball playing.
