That Algebra was a sticker though. I don't like mathematics anyway. Sooner write stories. You said it, jack. Isn't it funny we both have a tendency for story writing? We might be related because someone told me last night we did look alike. I wonder-if we are re-lated. But the question remained unsolved to both boys. They knew they were adopted, but just took it for granted that they were real good chums. Jack Robinson and Robert Faraday attended the Fremont High. jack was a Sophomore and Robert a Freshman, but as there were only a few high school stu- dents, roll call was taken in one classroom. Arriving at school the teacher summoned the two boys to her desk. ' The new York Press is putting on a short story contest, open to all high school students in the United States. Both of you have excellent story writing talent. Wouldn't you like to enter? Here's a leaflet giving particulars. Taking the paper in hand they noticed: First prize 35,000-Second SIOOO- Third S500-Minor prizes. Well, we might as well, huh, Jack? It would be only fun anyway. Story writing seems to be right in my nature. Same here, repeated Jack. Hand over the pen, and I'll sign my J, R. The following weeks were spent in diligent silent work on the stories. At the appointed time the stories were handed in, Jack's and Robert's being among the four stories that were sent to the New York Press. . On the twenty-first of March, the day of the announcement of the results of the contest, Robert and Jack received telegrams very early in the morning. -Iack's was: Your story has received first prize S5,ooo. Check will follow. Robert's: Story brought you second award SLO00. Letter and check will follow 1 Both boys were spellbound, but were the happiest boys in the town. Their slgories and pictures were published in every newspaper, far and near. Fame was t eirs. About two weeks later, when they were still enwrapped in their success, an elderly man arrived in town and inquired about Jack Robinson and Robert Faraday. i When the boys appeared before him he began: Good afternoon, lads. I sup- pose you don't recognize me. Well, to make a long story short, I am the executor of the will of Mr. Cassin, the noted story writer now deceased, who was your father. He stated in his will that you were sent to an orphan home when very young on account of lack of funds, and were adopted. Pictures were left and by comparing them with the ones in the paper, experts have found you are his lost sons. You are the sole heirs to the two million dollars left by him. I will see that everything is O. K. Let's be on our way to your home now, boys. Embracing each other and crying for joy, the boys exclaimed ,Tack - Rob- ertf' Now we are real brothers. It was' the result of our stories. Oh! but all that money. Let's forget about it. GERALDINE STRICKLAND, '30, of- ge '?Of1-5192991-50?--5 O41-1-,D lFifty-four?

VVC gave a number of debates and invited the members of the high school to t , G attend. We showed such oratorical ability that it was necessary for the faculty to deliberate three weeks in order to decide if it would be better to have us carry on the big debate, , 2 thereby disgracing the Seniors, or by allowing them to carry it on. thereby bringing disgrace x 1 on the entire school. It was only because of our age and the usual privilege for the Seniors O 3 that we declined the proposal. Here we feel it our duty to say that the Seniors really did , their best. i Thus we ended our second year, a credit to the school. Q lu 1028 we entered upon our Junior year, sitting on top of the world. Now we report to all. that we have put the high school in wonderful shape. In our spare time we gave a I . . . . . . 5 program called The Spy . lt, without doubt, surpassed all programs lntherto given within ' l the worthy walls of Our Lady of Lourdes auditorium. lYe are resting now, our daily work l considered nothing compared to the great tasks already accomplished. As a tribute to ourselves we say, may we complete our Senior year as we have completed ' l the other three years of our high school course! 1 O I L 1est'r..x l..xt'1cku.xx, '3o. -1 I t f I A 1 I ' ,l f 5 , , L a l ff N 1 '- , 1 5 1 L.

' Place-QAuditorium of Our Lady of Lourdes High School. Purpose-To convince the student body of Lourdes High School that the J eleven boys of the junior class are most ably qualified to fill the vacancies made by 0 the departure of the eleven Senior boys. ., Although, O esteemed Faculty and Fellow-students, your assembly has Q always seemed the most agreeable body that any one can address, and this place l the best fitted for pleading a case in, especially one concerning the merits of the J junior boys, not my own will, but my youthfulness has hitherto prevented me from O intruding upon this avenue of fame. 'Q However, now that I have reached manhood, I am here to convince you that the junior boys are most ably qualified to fill the vacancies left by the Senior boys. Of you Lourdeans present, who would not testify as to the merits of these 0 Junior boys? Am I to think that any of you would dare to deny their loyalty to f this school? VVho, I ask, who would not testify as to their ability to sing? Do not their , I voices so powerful and yet so sweet rise far above the rest? You all know that it you have listened with untiring ears to their entertainments. 9 In mathematics, who surpasses them? Point out to me if you are able, Quirites, anyone with a keener mind and more studious zeal than those of whom I speak. ,J Who delves into the mysteries of science with greater interest? I implore 0 you, in the name of the immortal gods, to remember the skill that they have dis- fy played in experimenting, the knowledge and logic with which they have expounded theories. ' I, And again, in the most excellent of studies, Latin, who exceeds the rest if not 5 the Junior boys? Is not their knowledge of infinitives, gerundives, and peri- - phrastics almost perfect? Who, O, Classmates, will contradict me? Whose voices are more devout in prayer than the Junior boys? Who leads the high school, yes, the entire congregation? I beg of you, Quirites, recall to iv your minds the slowness and distinctness with which they pray. ' 0 Though you are aware of the merits of these young men, I may not pass i them over. I Each one is a bulwark and protector of the school, Each one fills the duties and obligations which are required of him. Each in each will make a model, a 0 noble Senior. I hope that I have not pleaded in vain. If you are not yet convinced of the I unequalled virtue and valor of the Junior boys, O Quirites, and most honored 5 Faculty, please come to me and I shall convince you, pro di immortales! l Recall again their merits, while I descend -from this time-worn but famous 0 rostrum. - , PRESTON HEARTY, '3o. . 0'-1509? of- 1929r-+er'-+ or---in -lFifty-five I-
