Behicatiun We, the class of 1916, confronted by what we aspired to be, have brought forth this Book, to be an expression of the spirit acquired in our E four years at Peabody High School. We feel that we cannot make a clearer manifestation of that spirit than by dedicating this Bock to one without whom our school life, with its lessons and pleasures, could not have been. In all friendliness and sincerity,we salute Mr.JohnC Sandy j Langdon.

Find the Child SENIOR NUMBER CLASS POEM Agnes Lynch We walk in the fields in the morning of youth, In the morning of Springtime and Love, And we learn as we walk, and sometimes we dream- When we dream, it is sweetest of all. Q Soft gray clouds and a perfumed haze, , One crimson streak 'neath the curtains of Dawn, Earth's morning sigh in the fiuttering breeze, A thrill of expectant stillness and joy: Flowers sweetly roused by the 1ark's happy trill, As throbbing with melody upward he soars: And upward we soar on the wings of his song, To quaff purest draughts from the Pierian Spring: Thru the portals of Thought, in the palace of dreams Where Fancy and Beauty, immortal are shrined,-- And the saffron-robed goddess in beauty appears, Golden-sandaled, tiptoe on the hills. And as fair dawn fades into day, Sweet light of Youth to brighter Time, Amid the mingling harmonies, From out the east's wide-swinging doors, Golden and wonderful,-there comes Apollo, God of Light-the Sun. Together we walk in the morning of Youth, In the morning of Springtime and Love, And sometimes we dream, and always we learn,- When we dream, it is sweetest of all,-and I trust, In the Noontime of Life, and the Evening of Life, Tho we walk in far separate paths, There will live in our hearts, inspiring the way, The Beauty we feel in the Dawn.

Il Years had passed, and Yvonne had grown much older. Her face had become very thin, pale, and ghastly, and her eyes had begotten a kind of revengeful stare, hard, and pitiless. Her grief had choked all her emotions, and a longing for revenge struggled inher bosom-revenge for the untimely death of her husband. It was the time of war. The lodge had been converted into a sort of military outpost, and Yvonne alone at the lodge had been commis- sioned by the government to do out-post duty. She didn't mind that. The thought might have made her shudder ten years ago, but she rather liked it now, for it tended to satisfy somewhat that feeling burning in her heart-this business of shooting border-spies from her lodge window. Sheihad shot three spies already as they were making their way through theilonely forest, and she seemed even to take a sort of savage pride in it. One night, falling asleep at her post by the Window, she dreamed Johann was still living: that the enemy had taken him from a den of thieves and made him a slave. He was suffering greatly and longing for home. He had looked upon her, but she had not known him. Yvonne awoke in horror and reproached herself for slumbering at her post. But she was greatly troubled. She peered through the window. The moon was shining bright and the silvery clouds rushed past it. She could hear the wolves back in the forest, and she thought of the night ten years ago. Her heart throbbed restlessly and the dream annoyed her. She watched again. S What was that? Yes, it was the figure of a man, surely! Another spy? She looked anxiouslyg the figure was crouching like a Wounded soldier toward the lodge. She did not delay, but opened her window slightly and levelled her gun. Her hand trembled-she knew not why--but she took deliberate aim. Crack! The rifie resounded through the forest, and the victim fell upon the snow. She waited for a shriek, but there was none. That awful silence Was far worse than any shriek could have been, and Yvonne trembled, for she was yet but a woman. She siezed her lamp and went into the night, making her way over the deep snow to her victim. He was lying on his face. She knelt beside him, and raising his head, held her lamp to his face. S My God! she cried, as she bent over him, Johann! ,E Cinderella 56 THE PEABODY BREATH OF JUNE Jeanette C. Shirk Over the clover the fireflies weave Airy, intangible dreams of delight, And the voices of birds in the shadiest places Trill low and tender their loveliest plight, Trill low and tenderly true lovers' plight. Crickets are droning vxith soothing rhyme Deep in the sweet-scented grasses and flow'rs, Hidden, and happy, in flower-charmed spaces, Murmuring softly through the long hours, Droning, droning, all the long hours. ' Light, dancing breezes startle to flight Birds cradled deeply in hedges and trees, Scatter the slow-moving clouds into traces, - Bear on their breath the soft whirring of bees, Bear on their breath the soft chanting of bees.

'J' 1' 'k MIGUEL IGUILL awoke with the sun and a laugh. The day was a Fiesta de Toros. All Seville was at hollday. The grand climax of the day's fiflitffl festivities was to be the bull-fight of eight events. Miguel's heart thrilled not only with the abandon of the day, but also had not Frasquita, yes. Frasquita, the belle of the Quartier Carmen, had not this resplendent creature promised him her society for the day? It was as if the moon had bent to kiss him. Straight to his lady's bower he sped. A squalid enough bower on a squalid enough lane. No one, however, could deny the half-wild, half- savage, wholly fascinating beauty of the bovver's occupant. She came George Vardy SENIOR NUMBER 57 out, and together they demurely attended early Mass. Then, up and down the canopied street, the Serpent, they dashed like frantic children, upsetting their dignified fellows, thieving oranges, snatching gaudy ribbons, poking soft chocolate eggs, behaving in short in a thoroughly illogical and happy fashion. The mellow twilight found the pair, alone among the crowd that thronged the little park opposite the bull-ring. The people about them babbled, the Guadilquiver murmured below them. Frasquita preferred the murmur. Miguel followed. The glorious Spanish sunset turned the little tan river into a shining purple ribbon. Of course, they were just waiting for the gates of the arena to swing open across the way, but in the interim they talked. They spoke of -need I offend your penetration by reporting exactly what they said? I'm afraid it was sadly conventional. His soft, guttural voice ceased: he leaned-- Frasquita, Oh, Frasquita, shouted right behind him, straightened him up abruptly. Her brother advanced around the bush. A stranger was with him. Frasquita, I've been looking for you every place. My friend, Ilon Antonio. Frasquito blushed. General conversation ensued. Frasquita became more and more animated: Miguel more and more depressed. I wish they would go, he thought. Too soon they did, all three. ' Seeing the bereft lover's inconsolable anguish we might be prone to sympathize, and censure his fickle mistress. Let us not judge her too severely until we too decide between a ringside box or an aerial perch on the sky-line. Would we not prefer the box where we could see and be seen? Frasquita did. His sorrow was real and intense, but his Hispanian philosophy was stronger. Why miss his seat at the bull iight merely because of a spoiled girl? In Spain one can be jilted every day, but a bull fight is an annual event. So nine o'clock found his sadness considerably overlaid with an equally absorbing excitement. The ring-marshal opened the gate to the bull-pen. He had forgotten the scarlet blotch in the first tier of boxes. The first bull would not fight. He followed a herd of his sisters, his cousins, and his aunts meekly out amid shouts of Americano, Ameri- cano. Not so his successor. He dashed through the gates, stopped,dazed a moment: then, tore madly toward the boxes. Miguel gasped with glee at his spirit. A scream, a crimson mantella flapped, a roar, a'shriek, and silence. With a gigantic bound he had cleared the stockade, and now hung with broken neck, his sharpened horn transfixing a blotch of squirming red. That was the end. Miguel slept out under the moon that night. It's caressing rays revealed a faint half smile. 58 THE PEABODY THE DOUBLE CROSS Robert G. Eckhardt ANTED.-Ex-Convicts given honest and steady employment. i Minimum wages 355.00 per day after first year. Discharge papers QQ required. No questions asked.-Henry Ford, Ford Bldg.,' New York City. ' Burton was just about ready to cash in life and end it all, when the above advertisement met his glance. The world had indeed treated him shabbily, and it was no wonder that he contemplated measuring the distance between Brooklyn Bridge and the East River with his body, He was out of a job now for a whole year. His daily bread and butter was gotten in various and sundry ways, and it was true that now and then, when in desperate straits, he stooped to petty thieving. But here he drew the line. He was above the sand-bag or lead-pipe method of procedure. Now, however, Burton had reached the end of his endurance. He was ready for almost anything that might end this everlasting stomach-gnawing, heart-eating feeling which pervaded him. And this advertisement solved the question. What would be easier then to be caught picking some man's pocket, or the like, spend a year or two in jail at the city's expense, and then get honest and remunerative employment for the rest of his life? Burton decided then and there. At his earlest opportunity he would allow himself to be arrested, convicted, and then he would be fixed for life at Ford's expense. Lost in the most pleasant reflections in which he had indulged in for years, Burton failed to notice the approach of a rather disreputable looking personage, who seemed to have recognized him. Hello, Bill, said he. What's the glad grin for? Burton started up and recognized the speaker as Evans, the hero of many shady and underhand exploits. . Instantly Burton saw in him a valu- able adviser as to how to get arrested in the easiest and safest manner. So he immediately broached the subject. Motioning Evans to have a seat on the bench beside him, he showed him the advertisement. Evans failed to understand and Burton thereupon explained the whole idea to him, telling him of his plan to be put into jail so as to make him a future ex-convict. . Suddenly Evans eyes lighted up, as though by some brilliant plan. See here, Bill, said Evans, lowering his voice. I've got just the thing for you. I've been planning for two months to break into the Park National Bank. It's a four-man job, so in addition to Red Murray and Jim Peters another man is needed. Here's your chance. If we get away with it, you won't have to go to jail. There'll be enough money to keep us all for years to come. And if we get caught, which ain't very probable, why that's what you're after. You've everything to gain and nothin' to lose. What do you say? Burton thought a- minute. He had never committed a greater crime than stealing food, but, he considered, that was as bad as robbing a bank SENIOR NUMBER 59 when you come right down to it. To tell the truth, he didn't care whether he were to be caught or not. So in serving himself, he would be revenging himself on a society that had treated him so shabbily. ' I'll do it, said Burton a moment later. Since it doesn't make any difference to me if I'm caught or not, give me the dirty work. You're a sport, Bill, said Evans joyfully. Now-about the details. The Park Bank is on the corner of 42nd Street and a little alley. At the side of the building, facing the alley, is a very small window, which is in the president's office. All we have to do is cut a slice out of that window and break the circuit of the electric protection. Then the rest will be easy. I'l1 pick the lock of the door, and while you and Peters watch the alley and street, Red and I'll get the coin. Then you can have your share, or get caught: take your choice. I Burton, listening intently, could not help but admire the plan. Sud- denly a thought struck him. Evans was nothing to him, and the other fellows even less. He could very easily put the police wise and in all prob- ability get a handsome reward. Or he could put the police wise and then- So now, Bill, broke in Evans, since you want the most dangerous part, you can break the protection circuit. I have a very capable diamond glass-cutter in my kit that will do the job up first rate. Well, I have to see the others now, so I'1l beat it. Don't forget! Tomorrow night at 12, in Curdy's saloon. So long! I'll be there, don't worry, smiled Burton. And others with me, he added under his breath. , Ten minutes later Burton arrived at police headquarters. After getting an audience with the Chief, he unfolded to him the entire plan. But contrary to his expectations, instead of being highly praised, he was suspected by the Chief. However, after about a half-hour's conversation. the Chief detailed four men to watch the bank that night with Burton. He also consented to Burton's plans to capture the bank robbers. The four plain clothes men were to be concealed in the notion store opposite. Burton, after making believe he had cut the electric circuit, would be guarding the front door of the bank. After giving his bank robber accom- plices ample time to get their tools ready, he would motion the plain clothes men in, and the bank breakers would be caught red-handed. The next step Burton left untold. Promptly at 12 o'clock the next night, Burton and his three accomplices met at Curdy's saloon and there the final plans were arranged. A half hour later they sauntered out again. Finally, at a little before one o'clock, after picking up Evans' kit, the four would-be bank robbers arrived at their place of business. It was an easy matter for an experienced hand like Red Murray to sandbag the night watchman on his rounds. The coast was now clear. With Evans boosting him up, Burton cut a circular piece of glass out of the window in the President's ofiice. Reaching in, he actually cut the protec- tion wire. Now it was up to Evans. Returning to the front of the building 60 THE PEABODY Evans set to work on the lock with the other three men on guard. In ten minutes the feat was accomplished, and leaving Burton and Peters still on guard, Evans and Murray entered the bank. Burton took his position in front of the bank where he had a clear view of the notion store, with its occupants, opposite him. Peters guarded the alley. Three minutes passed. The dectectives in the store began growing impatient for Burton to give the signal. Suddenly a dull boom was heard. .The safe had been dynamited! Burton had presumably waited too long! The detectives, however, failed to hear the explosion. Seeing Burton now waving his hand violently, they dashed out of the store and into the bank. Peters fled silently up the alley, leaving Burton standing outside alone. After a short scuffie, the four detectives subdued and handcuifed Evans and Murray. Burton had double-crossed his partners! Instead of his going to jail, his accomplices were. Dragging the two men along with them, the detectives left the bank and joined Burton outside. The leader of the ofhcers warmly congratulated Burton and told him to report to headquarters in the morning. Then, leaving Burton and one officer to guard the bank, the other detectives started off for the station house with their prisoners. Soon they were out of sight. Standing in front of the bank, the detectives and Burton heard the clock in a nearby tower strike two. The street was as deserted as death. Suddenly Burton, who had been gazing up the alley, exclaimed ex- citedly. Quick, look up there! If that isn't Peters, I'm a liar! Turning quickly to see, the detective received a terrific blow under the ear. Down he went like a log. Burton had knocked him out clean. Quickly dragging him into the bank, Burton stuffed a gag in his mouth and trussed him up securely. A minute later Burton was speeding up the alley with close to 95100,000 in a large black bag he was carrying. He had double-crossed first his accomplices and then the police. The hitherto unheard of double double- cross had been accomplished. 'Sf 1' 'L' A SONG BIRD Lesley Hastings AY little Robin Redbreast had just returned from his winter visit in the south and was sitting by his comfortable new nest, high up in the oak tree in the park. From the small window which the delicate green leaves afforded in the front of his house. he had a fine view of the road, the fountain with its grassy border, and beyond the big stone SENIOR NUMBER 61 entrance to the park, the broad white boulevard and handsome houses which bordered it. As he stood there pouring out his gay little song, and waiting for Mrs. Robin to return from her visit in the neighboring tree, he had a good opportunity for watching all who passed by. , First came a little girl, a happy, skipping, laughing, little girl. She laughed at the new sprouting grass, she laughed at the blue smiling sky, she laughed at the mischievous wind that tossed her curls and stole her hat, so that she must run all down the road to catch it. And she laughed at a big, shaggy dog who came running and bumped into her so hard that she almost fell down. But when she saw gay Mr. Red-breast she laughed still more, and skipped away singing a song as merry as his own. Not far behind her came a well-dressed, middle-aged man, with hands dug deep in his pockets, and head held low. A frown darkened his face, and his lips wore a sneer. Beastly chatter those birds make, was his only comment as he hur- ried along. Next came a man pushing an invalid chair, in which tle wx an, enfaciated form of a small boy lay. He was only ten or eleven, the age vt hen children love to run and play, but from his thin body and pale face it was ca sy to see that it had been many days since he had been able to play cut in tlze bright sunshine. But Mr. Robin saw that he was happy, saw it in the big, tired' eyes, saw it in the contented smile, and in theueager joy with ulich he grasped the long pussy willow his nurse had found for him. He turned his eyes from the soft new grass to the blue sky on which little boats of fleecy clouds were sailing, and then to the tree where Mr. Robin sat. See the pretty bird! How happy it makes me to hear l im, he cried. just behind him came a large, matronly figure carrying a well-filled market basket. She saw neither the fiowers, the bright sky, nor the merry bird, but only turned with an irritated exclamation to hurry by the boy's chair, which the man had stopped in front of the oak. Why must people block the road to watch a silly bird? was her inward interrogation. Meanwhile a ragged tramp had seated himself on the bench opposite, and from his pocket had drawn a newspaper package. From its folds he unwrapped a huge piece of bread, and began to munch it contentedly. Suddenly he paused, for from the budding branches of the oak there came the clear notes of a bird. He sprinkled some crumbs onthe walk before him, and quietly waited, with the delight of a child, until Mr. Red-breast deigned to descend from his high perch and share the humble feast. The bird, in gratitude for his dinner, hopped on a nearby bush and trilled forth his sweetest melody. Presently the man left, but with a new song in his heart, and new and higher impulses stirring in his breast. Robin, once more alone, flew back to the nest, and as he turned to greet Mrs. Robin, a little chuckle gurgled in his throat, as if, perhaps, he were laughing at all the people who had gone by. What a Business' SENIOR NUMBER 63 THE WAY IT HAPPENS Jeannette C. Shirk E called them pests. He hated them because they were girls because they were foolish, and because their dimpled smiles were 'I not for him. The hatred was common. They hated him because his name was Chauncey-Chauncey Jim: they hated him for his indiffer- ence to things feminine, for Chauncey jim looked on all girls with bitter loathing, loathing for their coy, bright glances, loathing for their golden curls. Their very presence filled his soul with deep contempt and scorn. He scoffed at the fellows for their interest in the fairy creatures and called after them derisively when they were walking all alone. Hi there, Skinnay! Whcre's your skirt? Which made the fellows furious. . Chauncey resented the intrusion of the girls into the scheme of things. All the fellows were mad about them. Even Vlfiggy Malone, his good friend, had become a victim to the charms of the worst of pests -Gwenith Allen. Well, I'll be durned! said Chauncey jim. She's a pippin! upheld the faithful swain. . Pippin! She's nothin' but a doll that cries if her curly curls get mussed up or her sash gets torn. Pippin! I call her Pest! Pest nothin.' She's awful pretty. There's not another girl that's half so smart. She's too smart, he added ruefullyg I'm half afraid of her myself. She's most as smart as you. You'd be smart too if you'd leave 'er alone and didn't go moonin' half the time. You make me sick! 'S funny, said Wiggy, that's what Gwenith said about you. What? ' ' She said you make her sick, all the time yellin' at us when we're together. She said she hates you. She's got nothin' on me. I hate 'em all but she's the worst. She's a daisy! - ' She's a darlingg she's a daisy: She's humpbackedg she's crazy, She's knock-kneed, bowlegged and blind! he sang sonorously. You cut that out, protested Wiggy. She's my girl. , You can talk about the others all you want, but you let Gwenith alone. Don't worry. I'm not wantin' any Pest on my hands, said Chauncey lightly. I've other things to worry about, he added importantly. I say, though, said Wiggy earnestly, you oughta know Gwenith. You'd like her lots. She's not like other girls. She's a peach! You poor simp! said Chauncey' pityingly. You certainly do have it bad. C'me on and work off some steam playin' ball. 64 THE PEABODY Well, said Wiggy reluctantly, all right, but I got to meet Gwenith at the drug store in half an hour. l can't be late. Chauncey threw him a withering look of scorn but could Hnd no Words to express his disgust. C'me on and play ball, he said. A plan was taking form in his head. He Wanted Wiggy himself. He did not want Gwenith to monopolize his time,-or any other girl for -that matter. He and Wiggy could have a great old time were it not for 'the Pest -the girl. There must be some way to end the relations between Gwenith and Wiggy, but what? Chauncey pondered deeply over the Ways and means. To get them mad at each other would be the best Way and ought to be easy. He could stir up something about Gwenith to get Wiggy jealous, and he could tell Gwenith some things which he alone could reveal of the character of Wiggy-but would that be honorable? Or would it work to any advantage? Had he not aleadytold Wiggy, or tried to tell him, of Gwenith's faults? Had he not carefully pointed out the fallacies and dis- advantages of his actions? And with what result? Wiggy had cham- pioned his sweetheart and his cause. He would believe nothing evil of Gwenith. She was as perfect in his eyes as the lily or the rose with which he compared her. Her beauty filled him with delight and set his heart to praising. At her slightest wish, he sacrificed his pleasure. He would give up a whole afternoon to be with her an hour. She expected him and he had to be there. Ah, here was the plan. He would make Wiggy miss' the appointment! That ought to make any girl mad enough! Say, Wiggy, he announced suddenly, do you Wanta see some- thing? Sure, what is it? demanded the innocent victim. I made a trap to catch some hares in the woods down in the hollow: Wanta see if I got any? Sure. What you gonna do with 'em if you- get 'em? he asked curiously. ' ' f Cook 'em and eat 'em, of course. They're awful good. Ever taste' 'em? - Nope Only queer thing l ever ate was ground-hog. Look awful blue and funny before you cook 'em, but nothin' very .strange in the taste. Will you let me taste your rabbit? Sure thing. You c'n have its left hind foot if you want it. I got one a'ready. He made the offer magnanimously. Gee, breathed Wiggy interestedly, they're awful lucky, ain't they? Yep, said Chauncey, Hawful lucky. Maybe l'll-l'll give mine to Gwenith, planned Wiggyi Oh! he exclaimed startled, but Chauncey saw the danger. The half hour had long since departed. but he still held to his plan. If he could make Wiggy miss the appointment altogether, everything would be all right. Huh, he interrupted hurriedly, 'Tm not givin' it to you fer her. Anyway, the,trap's empty, and there won't be any left hind foot for any- body. Ain't that Worst luck? x SENIOR NUMBER 65 Yes, said Wiggy disinterestedly. I got to go, he said. When you catch the rabbit, you tell me. Gwenith'll be sore if I'm late. 1 Chauncey stared after his retreating figure with surprise and chagrin. What d' y' know about that? he asked blankly, as he followed Wiggy out of the woods. He wandered aimlessly about for half an hour and then, on his way home he encountered the beaming Wiggy. How's the doll? he asked scornfully. She thinks you're somethin' fierce. And she says if girls are Pests you're worse than Plague. She hates you worse'n ever for keepin' her waitin' for me. So his plan had failed! Well, he thought, I've got to try somethin' else. She can't have 'Wiggy all the time. If somebody'd cut him out it would be all right, but nobody would do it. He sighed. I guess I'll have to do it myself, he determined. He found it convenient to be at the drug store when the two lovers emerged from the door. ' Hullo, Pest, he greeted Gwenith. A Gwenith stared at him open-moutlied. Why the nerve! she gasped. Then she giggled. Wasn't that funny? she asked Wiggy. Huh, said Wiggy. Chauncey passed them again on their way home. We meet again, Dear Enemy, he said pleasantly, and Gwenith was again startled into dumbness. I Well of all things! she said. Isn't that funny? Huh, said Wiggy. , .At her gate they loitered for a while, then Wiggy, vaguely dissatis- fied, turned away just as Chauncey put in his appearance for the third time. Well, Pretty Doll, he said sweetly, has your fond lover left you P Gwenith giggled. , E I-Ie's not my fond lover, she said disdainfully. A Then, Curly-locks, Curly-locks, wilt thou be mine? Isn't that funny? giggled Gwenith: Honestly you're the funniest person. Nobody ever acted so funny before! Chauncey felt his foolish resolve slipping away from him. Blue eyes and dancing curls held him in thrall. He no longer wanted Wiggy for himself 3 he wanted Gwenith-the Pest-the girl. Gwenith was looking up at him with shining eyes. Say, he said abruptly, will you go to the drug store with me to- morrow, Pretty Pest? Gwenith giggled. Yes, she said.

Carram- ba! immediately! He rose and strode into the throne rodm, Where his Satanic Majesty was playing solitaire, Ponce was a strategist. He kept an eye on the game to see how it was going, so that he could pick a favorable moment for broaching the subject. Satan felt kindly toward everybody when he was winning at solitaire. Ah! Satan was doing finely. His face beamed. Now was the time. . Your majesty, said Ponce, a thousand pardons for interrupting your game, but I'have a boon to ask. I am a very sick man. lThis without a blush. These Spaniards are smooth devils, I tell youlj I fear a nervous breakdown. When one's Worcestershire rickeys and one's Tobasco cock- tails taste flat and watery, something is wrong with one. Would it be too much to ask for a change in environment? The peace and quiet of this place is getting on my nerves. Also it is too hot here since my electric fan is busted. - My poor boy! said Satan. Of course you need a change. How about going up and seeing,the war in Europe? It is too crude, said.Ponce. It lacks finesse. We Spaniards never kill people that way. They look just as pretty dead as alive. We stick them between-the ribs-so! Besides, l had another plan. ll would like to go back to America and take another crack at finding the Fountain of Youth! Suit yourself, said Satan, but if you feel like a quick return take the contents of this little phial. It contains no opiates, perfectly harmless! Ponce smiled politely at Satan's little joke, and left the throne-room. He felt cooler already. He bid goodbye to Columbus and some of his other Warm friends, gave Cerberus three friendly pats, and joyously departed. He left by a side exit which opened on Mexico, and which had recently been installed so that Satan could keep an eye on Villa and see that the United States didn't get him. Ponce immediately headed for his old stamping grounds up around Florida. Being a shade, he had an easy trip. He rode in Pullmans just like the president of the road. He gazed eagerly around for familiar sights. How things had changed! The place was so thickly populated that conventional bathing togs were only fair. Ponce was peeved at iinding the number of places named of honor of his old friend Columbus, but was mollilied to find a couple of hotels named after himself. 1- Ponce wandered about renewing old memories, but had no clue to the Fountain of Youth until he blew into Hot Springs, Arkansas. While 68 THE PEABODY walking down the main street he heard two decrepit old gentlemen talking about the springs. Ah, a scent! he thought to himself. Methinks I will give this joint the once-over. He fell into step with the two old gentlemen, who had no idea that there was a third party present. Ponce de Leon was due for a jolt. When he got to the baths it looked like the old so1dier's home. Rheumatics were in the majority, although those suffering from lumbago ran a close second. All of them found solace in airing their twinges to anyone who would listen. One old railroad magnate asked a gouty old bank president how long he had been there. Six months, was the reply. Ponce de Leon turned sadly away. His hopes were raised for an instant as he saw a husky, well-fed young fellow enter, but they fell with a thud when he realized that this was only the hotel keeper. Ponce shuffled away for pastures anew. Some time later Ponce was wandering along about nightfall when his eyes fell on a large warehouse. Hal Sleep for me wearied bones, thought he, so he faded through the window. Once inside, what he saw amazed hi-m. Cases on cases of bottles were stacked everywhere. He took a bottle from the first case. Horsetrotters' Stomach Bitters, the Bottled Fountain of Youth, said the label. Can it be! exclaimed the hopeful de Leon. A jerk of the cork, a long pull and the thing was done. Fine! this had tobasco cocktails beaten to a frazzle. Another bottle gurgled down, to his increasing delight. A third and Ponce was sure he had reached the end of his search. He celebrated. The next morning the after effects lay heavy upon him, and he morbidly contemplated a long siege of ill health. He felt bad. The search was not yet ended, he mournfully realized. - Weeks of rising hopes and bitter disappointments followed, and Ponce de Leon the bold Castilian might have trudged on and on had not a stray whiff of White Sulphur Springs put a stop to his fruitless quest. Something ailed him. Now he knew that something had been ailing him for some time. It was a feeling he never had before. Disconsolately he strayed out to the springs and again he caught the familiar whiff of sulphur. It had the same effect on him as a piece of limburger cheese would have on a wandering Hohenzollern far from his native heath. He was homesick. Eagerly he took the little phial and drained it. n Ponce de Leon settled back in his chair with a sight of contentment, and cast an approving eye toward the wall, where hung the motto, Home, sweet Home. SENIOR NUMBER 69 KEATS AND THE ROBIN Agnes Lynch I held a book in my hand on a beautiful summer day, A day when all Nature was happy-happy, laughing and gay: But my eyes saw not her charm, and my spirit her joy forsook. For a wonderful beauty held me in the pages of mybookg 'Twas poetry, stirring and noble, inspiring, good and true, And every word of it trembled with the feeling forever new: All, all in this world that is lovely, my throbbing senses heard- Ah! I left the page of the poet to list to the song of the bird. He perched on a bush at my elbow, and swayed with the breeze as he sang A song clear and sweet as the Springtime, all the woods with its ecstacy rang: First, he warbled of day and the sunshine, then night and the soft stars ashine, Of the sky, and the brook, and the green grass, the trees and the blossoming vine, Of the first strange, dim longing and stirring of each soul to break from the sod, The sigh-born love of the world, and the Infinite Wonder of Godg His breast swelled, and his little voice trembled, and sank from notes mournful and wild I To the love sang-O where did he learn it?-my mother sang me when a child. Which song was the better? I knew not-both were plaintive and sweet, Both noble, passionate, lovely, and filled with philosophy deep: Both created a yearning within me, for all that's true and good, The song from the soul of the Poet, and the song from the soul of the Bird. To you, O best beloved Poet, and you, litle Woodthrush of Mine, A Wise and All-Loving Creator has imparted a gift divineg Compared with your fountains of joy, the gifts that are mine are few, But thank Him that the heart He has given me can feel the Beauty in you. 70 THE PEABODY Z gk fi 5 Vo? -A SOME 'RE JOY5, Mo--- Q vw my' iff N J J -w xv Q 1 'ix cf f vgxf -Y 1 lyk! 29 zz -4110 1 y Jryx X xiii Q M ' 1 I X it Q, 9 55 QF fi iffflmg jak ,ii if!

Time was I used to like it, now it nearly makes me croak-if I tried to eat a flapjack now I certainly would choke. Of course, they sing of other joints, they warble Alabam g they wheeze of other things but eggs and other things but ham, they want to go to Michigan, they love their Tennessee-ebut no place seems as popular as Dixie seems to be. It SENIOR NUMBER 73 must be that the writers are going to the bad, or running out of subjectsg if so, it's pretty sad, but the guy that sings of Dixie should be rended limb from limb, and the rest of us should cultivate the good old-fashioned hymn. -Schmertz.

Are you a fortunate person or do you receive them? Con- I-4f.,i'li-1 gratulationsu is a word addressed to people who have succeeded in making themselves in some degree conspicuous by conventionally minded people who eithcr have no opinion of the performance that conferred con- spicuousness or are kind enough to keep their opinions from expression. This is the time of year when congratulations pelt down upon the unfortu- nate senior like rain on a Fourth of july picnic. If you graduate, you are arc congratulated. If you do not graduate, you are congratulated on being almost ready to graduate. If you take part in one of those deadly am- ateur theatricals, the actor in which can truthfully say as he answers the experienced handclapping of the reliable audience, The pleasure is all mine, tho' you make yourself even more ridiculous and tiresome than does the average poser for applause, somebody with a strong sense of duty and a feeble sense of humor is sure to twine his Habby hand on yours and snore, Congratulations If you have succeeded in making a set of people for whose opinions you care little believe that you have an average knowledge on a series of subjects concerning which you know little and care nothing,-in other words, if you are being graduated with some sort of honor, some- body is sure to sneak on you from behind and bark in your quivering ear, Congratulations 74 THE PEABODY I have been approached by six people in one day with the word, Conf gratulationsf' Each one of the six referred to a different thing, and each one was surprised when I did not know what he -was congratulating about.. judging from the things they congratulated me on, if I were to tell them that I was sick they would murmur with sympathetic joy, My, but I'm glad to hear that, and if it were announced that I had been flogged for' cowardice the evening before and was going to be hung for treason in the morning, they would grab at my trembling fists and raise in my honoratrium- phant chorus of praise and congratulations. I' no longer askipeople why they are congratulating me. I am much happier if I do not know. I merely answer, L'Thanks, and go on my way not knowing whether my friend imagined that I had got my picture in the paper by way of the police court news, had become engaged to be married, or had had my hair cut. Far worse than those who like to congratulate are those who like to be congratulated. There are people who after they have made themselves slightly conspicuous hang around on the outskirts of things smiling nervously and waiting to be congratulated. When one of this type charges the atmos- phere with his desire, unless you have that firmness that characterizes the stern kind parent of the story books, you will yieldg you will walk up to him, say Congratulations, and, if you are experienced in how to manage his kind, say it in a final way that indicates that you cannot be coaxed to discuss his exploit further. People who are really doing something do not have the leisure to be admired. A talented member of the staff who is sitting near me writing a Spanish story about an armadillo or a hot tamale or some such thing, and who stops occasionally to think up another colorful name, has just entreated me not to forget the gallant person whom you have defeated in something or other who dances self-righteously up to you and congratulates you just as cordially as if your mother had died. He also reminds me of that ,purveyor of food for thought who adds to his congratulations, I didn't know it was in you. The same immortalizer of Andalusian names assures me that this sketch should not have been written about the bestower of congratulations, but about the inflictor of commiserations. He says there may be some excuse for congratulations. If you have developed so far that you no longer either give or receive congratulations or commiserations, then I can sincerely say to you, Con- gratulations, If you still indulge in the use of the two overworked post mortem expressions, then you deserve the fate of having said to you, ':Commiserations. -The Punrtured Target. til' When anybody tells me he knows he can't fool me, I know he is trying to.

We oiled that clock, we had it fixed, We kept it nice and clean. But still it never gave a tick It's that dod-gasted mean. The other day my brother George Brought in an old worn wreck, We hardly knew it was a clock, But it was going, by Heck! It hands were gone, it had no face, It sides were battered in, Its moving wheels were made of brass, It weak old springs were tin. But George put on a pair of hands, ' An old and broken face, And then he wound its spring up tight, To see how it would race. We set it on the mantelpiece, It keeps the best of time, It's better than that store-bought clock, And didn't cost a dime. -Jehcseplfat. fb'-0-'4' A Mable Perkysays she thinks the practice of putting organs in churches should be stopped.

SENIOR NUMBER 77 f-139,53 of ell, E S Q7 lf' All -P LAURA RIPPLE-BOY FUSSER MAKE a practice of saying about myself such things as I think I am in a continual state of wonder because of my popularity and my charm, and I tell everybody about it. Whenever opportunity offers, I assume my most attractive pose and say with childlike innocence, Every- body is so good to meg I really don't think it's fair. I wonder what people see in me that is so much better than what they see in other girls. The other girls wonder too, and say soy but the boys more practical, or perhaps more inquisitive, fiock around rr.e to find out. If a boy shows me any attention at all, I tell everybody that Ah, Reginald is quite devoted, or that I don't see why it is that Arthur is so interested in me, or that john is so attentive that he is really a bother. The rumor started by me that Reginald or Arthur or john is quite crazy about me soon reaches the maligned one. He is perhaps a little surprised at first, but the notoriety is not altogether disagreeable, and without realizing what is influencing him, he adopts the common belief, and decides that he is really gone on me. I sometimes listen with such apparent soulful attention to the boy I am with that he thinks I am stupified with adoration of his conversational and intellectual powers, when in reality the only emotion behind my baby stare is a childlike wonder at the size of his ears. An entranced silence is a most effective pose, especially if the boy is interested in himself. Many a pale vision of girlhood sitting in open-mouthed passivity has received credit for soul instead of for adenoids. Sometimes,when I wish to make things interesting, I chatter about the number of boys who are interested in me, and how very interested they are, how kind I would like to be to them and how cruel I am. When I talk this way, telling of the number of dates I have and the number of boys I must refuse dances to, I sometimes fear that I must sound like a come-early-on1y- a-limited-number-to-be-had department store ad., or a circus press agent celebrating the great crowd that greeted the appearance of the pink haired rhinoceros, and the beginning of the grand procession: but since my ex- N . . Y . . should be known and which I fear my friends may fail to mention. 78 THE PEABODY perience has proved that it pays to advertise, I spout merrily on. I know that some girls believe that continued emphasis upon the fact that there are others, is dangerous. They are partly right. Some boys are afraid of a crowd just as a great many men are afraid to venture into a large crowded department store. Have you ever noticed how many small stores are supported by men? However, I do not care if the warning of com- petition does scare some of the boys away. The efforts of the boys who stick to outdo the other fellows make up for any probable loss, and any boy who wouldn't stick under such circumstances has either so little spirit or so much sense that I really would not want him around. To girls who can not get the boys to flock around, let me give these words of hope and advice: Make yourself conspicuous. A great many boys are short sighted, but they will fuss anything they can see. If you ever succeed in getting one boy you can get any number. Let one boy be seen with you often, let it appear that he thinks you are wonderful, and soon vou will be one of the most sought after girls in the school. ' Note: We have received many other letters on the art of boy fussing, but we can not print them all. What they teach, however, may be summed up in the statement that Battery is the most dangerous of all weapons, and in a paraphrase of an old nursery rhyme: What: makes the lambs love Mary so? 1 The little children cried. Why Mary loves the lambs, you know. The teacher then replied.

'Tis in spring that theischool 'Board gets together to do its villainous work in making the school children 80 THE PEABODY slave through the hot days till the last of june. 'Tis then that the little birdies perch themselves outside the school windows and say, Cheapl cheap! I don't know, nor can I imagine, why the birdies think we poor divils in school are cheap: but they evidently do! O yes! Sweet-sweet spring! Spring gets on everybody's nerves, and into everybody's nervous system like a tick, or the willies. Then there is the Ole Boy to pay, and nothing to pay with. Spring produces spring effects in the heels of young cattle, as I deduce from having seen once a young bull calf endeavor to kick a chunk out of the sun. Finding that he could not accomplish his purpose he started on a run, and raced his shadow up the pasture. Young swains 'gae aboot th' braes with their lassies, and go also into the park. Whereupon the representative of the law, in a blue coat and a silver shield, promptly asks them to remove their presence from the imme- diate vicinity about ten thirty, by the clock. Little children rejoice, and run out into the woods and fields to View the beauties of Nature! They pick flowers, and take them to teacher, who thereupon proceeds to dull their young intellects by teaching an object lesson. Ah! 'Tis Spring, gentle Anne! ' Spring makes grown-up folks tired, and peevish, and lazy. Mother wants to quit cooking: Oh, it's so hot! Get me a fan!

Everybody is out in the evenings with lawn mowers, and other garden tools, and a stranger would think that by the noise these tools make, there was a compressed-air rivet hammer going the limit. In the evenings, the women folk stand on their porches and gossip across the railing, the men sit on the steps, expectorate into the street, and talk warg the boys play sockey in the streets till dark, and then they are joined by the girls in a big game of Hide and seek, or Run, Sheep, Run! Aye, Verily, 'tis Spring. ' 'Tis Spring when young men and women run around with funny looking bats called tennis racquets in their hands, and waste an entire afternoon and evening slamming a ball over a net and shouting, Forty- love! or words to that effect.

Such nerve he had, he most went mad, And oft in teaching school He used a brick or a hickory stick, But never the golden rule. A fine tooth comb of herring bone, He used to comb his hair, His coat of skins left bare his shins, A cave his only lair. The books he used could be perused, Without the aid of glasses, The prof. was paid in quartz and jade, For teaching jungle classes. Professor Tall knew 'almost all There was to know in books, His book shelves fine covered acres nine, . Though they weren't so much for looks. Of his books just one weighed half a ton And two weighed more than that. So much they weighed he ne'er mislaid His stony tablets flat. SENIOR NUMBER 83 A lot he knew of maxims true, But naught of beast or bird, And a fool was he-as you'll agree When you my tale have heard. A carnivorous diplodocus, Some animal-oh, my! When he lamped the prof. and piped him off, He surely wasn't shy. He looked old Noah up and down, He looked him all around, Before the prof. could say a word, He picked him off the ground. This amorous diplodocus, He rolled his eyes in glee, For a prof. steak sweet was a morsel meet To feat him merrily. So Reader, Gentle Reader, If you'll hark to this tale of woe, Be not at all like Noah Tall, Get not your wisdom so. If all you know is down in books, And nothing much outside. Some monster bold will come some day, And swallow your worthless hide. C. L. jones.

Truly, this tercentenary of Shakespeare's is a sore affliction. It might also be called a public calamity. Shakespeare has been dead three hundred years and there are about three hundred thousand celebrators in the country hard at work trying to make this sad fact perfectly evident to everybody. Shakespeare was more fortunate than Job, only in that he died before most of his friends were born. Shakespeare revivalists are heaping honors upon their god at a rate which promises to lay the Titan of English literature forever. Everybody is giving honor to the poet and strange and wonderful are the honors he receives. Montague Snip is publishing a compilation of all the discreditable anecdotes that can be applied to the Great One-to honor Shakespeare. Pompius Shin is reading from the band stand an original sonnet beginning, O very dead and celebrated bard, I own thou'rt great and I make Shin's Pure Lard, to honor Shakespeare. Mrs. Masonmouth is giving a series of readings from her own version of the Elizabethan plays for a dollar and a half a head,and the honor of Shakespeare. Mr. Porky M'Guy is the author of a pageant concocted from all the plays of Shakespeare, which will be published soon, with Mr. M'Guy's picture on the frontispiece, a picture of Mr. M'Guy in costume on page one, a picture of Mr. M'Guy and the chorus on page twenty, and a picture of Mr. M'Guy and the scenery on page thirty-for the honor of Shakespeare.

The list of honors conferred reads like the table of contents of a missionary box sent by the Nellietown Society of Cellar Cleaners to the Animal Rescue League of the Fiji Islands. All these things may be honors to Shakespeare but it is cruel to say so. Bill the Hobo might consider it an honor to look like Jesse James and Mike the Bruiser might think it an honor to be knocked out by Jess Willard, but kind hearted people would spare the humble Worthies the pain of these honors and considerate people would refrain from calling attention to the lowly status of those who could be honored by such affiictions. School productions of Skakespeare's plays we refrain from commenting on. Until the honor system was introduced, Shakespeare was a financial failure. This year many people have discovered that an honor is not with- out profit. Now the honorer gets the profit and the prophet gets the honor. The honorer is not paid with spurious coin either. Have you honored Shakespeare yet? Better hurry and do it now. After the war a reaction is sure to set in and such cruelties will no longer be tolerated. Don't be bashfulp anything is an honor if done to Shakespeare. -Auntie Bardolator.

The following letter was sent to this department with the request that careful attention and consideration be given it. University of Pittsburgh, April 10, 1916. To the Girls of Peabody High School: An important question has been before the National Pan- hellenic Fraternity for a long time, that of admitting girls to a national college fraternity who are affiliated with a secondary school sorority. The question has at last been definitely decided upon and reads thus: After January, 1916, no girl who becomes a member of an organization bearing a Greek name, called a fraternity or a sorority, shall be eligible to a National Panhellenic fraternity. Please note that the mere joining of such a frater- nity excludes a girl from membership in a college fraternity. Resignation will do no good. l realize that all this sounds vague and to a certain extent unimportant, but it is of greatest importance. Let me explain that Panhellenic is an organization made up of representatives from every woman's national fraternity. This body decides fraternity policy and lays out courses which must be followed. My urgent request is that no girl who is considering going to college, join a so-called High School sorority. Sincerely, CSignedj U Brenda K.

Out ofa possible two hundred and twenty, there were sixty-six students whose average for the senior and junior years was 85 per eent, or above. Of these there were: one Highest Honor C95 per eent. and abovej, fifteen High Honor Q90-95 per eent.J and fifty Honor students. Thirty-two of these students are enrolled in the College Preparatory Course: live in the Commercial Course, twenty-two in the General Course, six in the Household Arts Course, and one in the Arts and Crafts Course. Twenty boys and forty-six girls eomprise the honor list of the Class of lfllti. CONVOCATION DAY May ltl, was the beginning of Commencement aetivities for the Class of 1916. In plaee of the mueh-abused elass-night, the Board of Edueation substituted a day whieh proved to be a delightful innovation. All the seniors of the six high sehools in Pittsburgh that offer four-year eourses were assembled in Carnegie Klusie Hall at l,0:l5, meeting as a body for the iirst time in their sehool life. The program eonsisted of orations, essays, and musie, eaeli sehool eontributing one number. Dr. Edward S. Travers, Rector of Trinity Cliureh, pronounced the invocation, and the address of the morning was given by Dr. Abbott Lawrenee Lowell, president of Harvard University. Dr. Lowell's speeeh earried a elear and distinet message to every senior present, and the inspiration of his address will not soon be forgotten. Dr. Davidson presided at the meeting. In the afternoon the boys and girls had permission to use the tennis eourts, and many availed themselves of the privilege. SENIOR NUMBER 91 HIMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNESTH The annual play, offered by the Dramatic Society, was given this year at the Schenley Theatre on May 28th with marked success. The finish, the ability and the attention to detail, which we have been lead to expect of a play coached by Mrs. Yeamans were all to be found in good meas- ure. The smoothness of its performance was a tribute to the conscientious work of an admirable cast. Among these, Earl Bromeier was very convincing and natural as john Worthing, the estimable young blade who learned the importance of being Earnest which was, in fact, no less than gaining the hand of the lovely Hon. Gwendoline Fairfax, played by Miss Francis Morgan, who made' a stunning picture in the part. The collateral love story was enacted to the life by Miss Virginia Siedle and Francis Hogan. Miss Siedle presented little Cecily Cardew with just the right amount of coy naivete, while Mr. Hogan as Algernon Moncrieff was his own charming self to the delight of his audience. The third set of lovers, though rather autumnal sweet-- hearts, fell to Miss Mildred Dullard as Miss Prism,duenna to Cecily,and Rev. Canon Chasuble, better known to us as Philip Schoeneck. Miss Dullard's performance was, without offense to anyone, the triumph of the evening, one of those rare character presentations so seldom enjoyed even in pro- fessionals' work, in which so completely is'the actor's personality submerged in the personality he is representing that we remember not the performer but the performance. Mr. Schoeneck did commendable work as the rector. Walking in solitary grandeur through this amorous melange, comes Lady Bracknell, grande dame extraordinaire, enacted by Miss Diana Igel with all the art and inherent finesse that the most captious could demand. The two butlers did not exist for her,but, for us-Charles jones and Alexander Buchanan completed a well rounded performance by their skill in these minor roles. Mr. Jones took every advantage his role offered, showing his own resourcefulness and the ability of a trained Thespian to magnify the insignificance of a minor part into one of the features of the evening. Altogether a most praiseworthy and excellent performance. G. V. 'J' i W THE IONIAN LITERARY SOCIETY The Ionian Literary Society sprang from the previous year's Debating Club. With interested members, energetic officers, the new society met and arose to the problems with which every new organization must contend. The purpose of the society, as stated in its constitution, is, to en- deavor to train its members in all forms of literary work, in the principles and practices of debating and in public expression. The year's work, embracing these lines, gave every member an oppor- 132 THE PEABODY tunity to gain experience as well as thc friendship and fellowship of the other members. Behind the achievements of the society and largely responsible forits success, was its body of officers. The bulk of the work fell upon the pro- gram committee, who were able to make the meetings profitable and entertaining. The officers and committee of the last semester were: Francis Reamer, President: Samuel Goodstone, Vice-Presidentg Agnes Lynch, Secretary: Programme Committee: Henry Flaherty fChairmanJ. Ameila Igel, Zareth Yardum, Irene Davis, and Regis Toomey. It is with regret that the senior members lay down their work and sever their connection with the society. Yet with the utmost confidence we leaye its ofhces in the hands of next ycar's seniors and juniors, We extend our best wishes to the Ionian Literary Society and hope that, having profited by our mistakes, it will be able to carry forward its splendid work.

Ilvlt-11 13111111-11 04 THE PEABODY NATURALIST CLUB The Naturalist Club has completed another successful year, the active members being very faithful in their work. Several delighful visits were made to various places of interest and several field trips were enjoyed. The most interesting trip was the one made to the Allegheny Obser- vatory late in April. Through the great telescope there we saw all the grandeur of the heavens. Low in the south-west Sirius glittered like a diamond in the shadow of deepening night. Our sister planet Venus dis- played her gorgeous borrowed robes, high in the west. The genial twins Gemini and Saturn, with his shining silver locks, intercepted the ardent stares of the Olympian banished lovers. Such fancies may not be astrono- my. but it was through indulging in them that men first learned to love the stars. Such inspiration, First in nature, out of doors and then in the laboratory, has made the Naturalist Club the happiest in the school. Agnes Lynch.

Eating? Well, yes, but primarily to have a good time,-and having it, too,-then you will conceive a fairly good idea of the Senior Luncheon held June 13, in KaufTmann's Dining Room. There were speeches, of course, and splendid things to eat, but somehow it was not the memory of these that each girl carried away with her, it was rather the spirit of good fellowship and camaraderie which pre- vailed on every hand, making this one of the enjoyable events of the cem- mencement season. V 1-' '92 '32 SENIOR PICNIC The Class of 1916 had a picnic! Where? At West View Park. When? June 14, 1916. A special car carried them from the school to the Park. Lunch was eaten on the big picnic grounds, and was accompanied by speeches and stunts, made by members of the faculty and prominent seniors. After lunch all those who wished to dance went to the big airy, pavilion, and those for whom Terphischore had no charms were hugely entertained by a program of freak athletic events, specially arranged. Supper was also eaten at the Park: in short, this was a real picnic. -b 1- 'b SENIOR DANCE The invitation to trip the light fantastic, always meets with a hearty response, but never more so than on the occasion of the annual Commence- ment Dance, held at the Rittenhouse on the evening of june 16. Mr. and Mrs. Sumstine and the parents of the Social Committee chaperoned the affair, and even the stately serious seniors danced, while the frivolous, well- 'tis enough to say that Terpsichore reigned surpeme. The programs were beautiful, gray leather, bearing the seal of the school and fastened with a twisted cord of red and gray. Thus in a whirl of gayety, forgetting the many failures and rebuifs, and mindful only of the dazzling successes, the Class of 1916 closed the Senior year, socially speaking.

Lliar1ty begins at home is a tiine-honored prceept, and, as thc criticism of school papers is but a milder form of charity, the unavoidable conclusion is that The Pl'll.b0!l,V must undergo the ordeal. The most recent lthe Aprilj issue will vcry well serve the purpose, for it is typical in every particular of an average Peabody. The editorials are two, below the usual numher to be found in our contemporaries: one. timely and convincing, the othcr, interesting. The literary department is always the most discouraging feature of a high school paper. Usually the contributions have all the insipidness of command performances. The short story and the poem are too often considered the only constituents of literature. VVhile not inspiring, the stories and poems of the April numlier were more than ordinarily satisfactory. The Melting Pol is a peculiarly Peabodian institution. It is the only asylum of segregated humor so far found, and, it is surely a boon to Peabody readers. They know that everything in the Pot is laughable, everything without serious and grave. The realization of this simple distinction saves them many afaux pas. They no longer reveal their untimely frivolity hy showing unseemly mirth over the poems and stories of the literary ward. They no longer fail to display an exquisite sense of the ridiculous by en- joying that which its author intended should excite laughter. No, the sublime has her precincts, the ridiculous, hers. The Peabody should be proud of its one distinctive feature, and preserve it with all its power, as long as the proper genius can be found to preside over the Pot, for this depart- ment, because of its very uniqueness, will always demand an unique guiding spirit. 102 THE PEABODY The News department handles its material in and orderly and efiicient manner. The scope for originality in this branch is nil. The same might also have been said about the Athletic division of the paper, had not a certain breeziness of treatment indicated possibilities. The Chuckles alternate with advertisements in bringing the paper to a close. The jokes are mainly of a. local character, and this is as it should be. It is comparatively an easy matter to secure a book containing the best jokes of all ages, but it is only in The Peabody that one may find the humor exclusively Peabodian. The principal criticism is on the practice of labelling every once in a while one of the jokes in bold, black letters. It would seem less confusing to name all the jokes or none of them. The art and cartoon editors have throughout the year shown conscientious and laudable effort. The Peabody has a recognized position to maintain among the high school papers of the country, a position in the upper middle class. There are many of superior excellence, myriads of inferior. The paper is most to be congratulated upon the order and classification of its material, and the lack of obvious plagiarism to be found within its covers. So many papers containing just as worthy material slam it together in such a hodge-podge that the reader receives only the most hazy impression from reading it. , A few, fortunately it is as yet only a few, other school papers indulge inrthe obnoxious and destructive policy of publishing the writings of standard authors, thinly disguised if at all. The Peabody has so far escaped the con- tinued-story malaria, so prevalent among the papers heralding from a more rural district. It is likewise free from the deplorable taint of vulgarity. If it always remains as it is now, Peabodians will ever have cause to value ity if it improves, as I am sure it' will, to boast of it. qlf- 1 1 i, ' -! v ' Q, WYWOQQI, 'f,!l'li1- 1' ff 13:1 ii QETQJEQ 5:6 i , V4 V'- P1' ll? i i , ,f-IINKEP, ole SENIOR NUMBER 103 HTH LEHES L' BASEBALL The baseball team completed its season with eight victories out of twelve games played. Although we did not win the championship, we finished a good second. OUR VICTORIES The season opened with a trip to Beaver Falls and East Liverpool. At Beaver Falls, the pitching of Wright and Moffatt coupled with heavy hitting, proved too much for our opponents, who fell to defeat, 10 to 0. East Liverpool was next in line for a defeat, losing to us, 11 to 5. Oliver's work behind the bat, Waddel1's playing at short, Silberstein's four hits, and Diamond's double and triple proved big assets. ln our Hrst home game we won over Allegheny, 4 to 2. The game resolved itself into a pitcher's battle between Moffatt and Scott. Moffatt fanned eleven and gave five hits., while Scott fanned thirteen and gave seven hits. Shadyside lost by a score of 16 to 4. Hager filled Silberstein's shoes at first base in a commendable fashion. Two baggers by Braun, Opie and Waddell, and three baggers by Opie and Waddell helped to swell the score. In the hardest fought game of the season,Allegheny was defeated 3 to 2. As in the previous Allegheny game there was staged a piteher's duel between Moffatt and Scott. Time and again our infield completed spectacular plays with men on the bases. Our next victory was gained over South, in the form of a shutout, the score being 11 to 0. Moffatt allowed only five hits. Diamond's work at second base starred. Silberstein's three two-base hits and Opie's home run with the bases full, aided materially. In a pitcher's battle between Wright and Tarner, Wright outpitched his opponent, shutting Westinghouse out, 2 to 0. Campbell played a nice game in the field, while Wright and Waddell wielded the sledge, each getting two hits. In the last game of the season Peabody swamped South 23 to 0. Wad- dell led the hitting with five out of five times at bat. Silberstein had four bingles, while Saul, Diamond, and Wright each annexed three swats. THE PEABODY Peabody Baseball Team SENIOR NUMBER 105 OUR DEFEATS Peabody opened its league season by losing to Fifth Avenue, 11 to 4. Fifth fell on Wright's offerings in the first and fifth innings for a total of 11 runs. Our inability to solve the opposing pitcher's curves proved disas- trous. Loose work by the infield, and weakness in the pinches, lost a game to Westinghouse by a score of 6 to 3. Our errors came at critical moments, and our hits were too scattered to prove effective. Although we outplayed Wilkinsburg, we fell to defeat before that school, 8 to 7. Golden opportunities to score were lost by failure to hit with men on the bases. Coupled with this were infield errors in the latter part of the game. Fifth Avenue again proved too much for Peabody, defeating us 13 to 9. Fifth's heavy hitting and the stellar work their infield, with men on bases, were largely responsible for our defeat. Those who played on the varsity team Were:--Wright Ccaptainj, Diamond Cmanagerj, Brown, Campbell, Bowman, Hager, Oliver, Opie, Moffatt, Saul, Waddell, Silberstein, Reamer. SOPH-FRESH TEAM In mentioning the baseball team we must not forget the Sophomore, Freshmen team. Last year this team won the city championship, while this year they have won the championship in their section of the league, and will play Riverside High School for the city championship. - Out of nine games played, they have won seven.

A with SENIOR NUMBER 109 YO R LARY If your education is notsuifii cent, or not practical, your earning capacity will be correspondingly reduiced. This is the day of the trained manfwith whom the uneducated cannot expect to compete on even terms. Eminent authorities testify from reliable statistics that the university business graduate earns twice as much on the average as the high school graduate who has not had the advantage of a university training. The School of Accounts, Finance and Commerce of Duquesne Univer- sity is a non-sectarian school of business administration, a professional school for those who wish to study practical business. The day courses lead to the degree of Bachelor of Commercial Science in two years, the evening courses in four years. The School occupies the fifth floor of the Vandergrift Building, 323 Fourth Avenue, in the heart of the downtown section of the city, and is not excelled in convenience or equipment by any school of commerce in the country. An Efficiency Bureau is maintained to place students and gradu- ates in lucrative positions, in which t.rained men are demanded. Why leave Pittsburgh when a most efficient and practical university training in business can be had in your home city, at a small fraction of the cost of going away to school? This school holds the state record for effi- ciency in preparing students for the most difiicult government examinations in the United States, the C. P. A. examinations of Pennsylvania.
