THE PEABODY 27 lim' Editor, l.l l.l.lAN Klililtilili HIS GIRL Lillian Kreiger He had known her all his life, when they had poked sticks through the fence at the sleepy old dog and felt the thrill of perilous delight wlhen he growled, when he had waved wriggly worms suspended from a stick at her, and heard her squeal with ghoulish glee: when she had switched to the dignity of plaits seemingly made for his express amusement. All his memories held her, the free wind of April, the twitching, pulling kite, and Dorothy tagging close at his heels, faithful slave, obeying his fine commandsg dreamy August drowse, the dusky pool, the leaping fish, and Dorothy at his side, keeping fearsome silence: mellow October, the brown road before them, the blazing woods ahead, and Dorothy listening at his side as he boasted of the future and told his dreams, knowing them safe in Dorothy's hands. He never dreamt of getting a crush on her: why, he didn't even think Dorothy pretty! He could not have told whetl1er her eyes were gray or brown. He was only vag'uely conscious of the warm glow of good-fellowship in them. lle did not know that .lDorothy's hair was a cloak of chestnut waves lovelier than ermine robe of state. He was but dimly aware of the way she had of tossing back the heavy mane like a thoroughfbred horse. Dorothy was a good sport: he would have died before telling her so, though she hshed in- dustriously. 'l'hat would have given her the swelled head, and he believed in taking the conceit out of everybody. XVhy, he wouldn't have cared if some one would take it out of him, if he had it. But he didn't have it, of course. 'l'hey were seniors in High School now, and as a matter of course he took her to the dances. It was mighty convenient for him-saved him the trouble 28 THE PEABODY of asking another girl. He was dead afraid of them, anyway-always laugh- ing at a fellow. Now Dorothy-she was different. You could talk sense to Dorothy. The coming dance wgas being given by Mrs. Stubbs, of Stubb Manor. She was of the typical small-town, newly-rich, overburdened with wealth and fat. The dance was bound to be a bore. Mrs. Stubbs called all the fellows dear, and told them to make themselves at homeg her daughter was languid and overfedg entertainments were planned down to the last scrupulous detail, even the palate-tickling supper served at midnight failed to melt the arctic atmosphere. They had agreed to cut it, Dorothy and he, and canoe around the point by moonlight. He wanted to show her the loon's nest he had found, and the two eggs in it. And then-Florence Reid called him up on the telephone. We all know Florence-she is that most insidious species of clinging parasite. Her escort had been called out of town, she said, her flute voice quavered pathetically. She hated to miss the dance, and lo, the knight in him rose up, and he was to call for her at 8:30 sharp. He whistled the high-sign over the fence, and soon heard the swift staccato of girlish heels down the porch steps. Say Dot, would you care .if I'd show you that nest some other time? Y'see, For some inexplicable reason he stammered and his eyes dropped. He had never had that trouble before. He could always meet Dorothy's eyes. Y'see, he stumbled, then brutally came out with the truth. I promis- ed to take Florence Reid to the dance. Florence Reid? there was suspicion, appraisement, contempt, even pity in the words. ' Yes, Florence Reid. You don't care, do you, Dot? anxiously. Why certainly not, Bill, her voice was sweetest suavity now. You're sure you don't care? he asked doubtfully. Perfectly certain. He sighed relieved. Dorothy was the best sport. Now some girls- -- Dorothy made her plans swiftly. Jack Zimmerman was on furlough. A wire would bring him home in time. He was a simp and as mushy as tapioca. No wonder Bill hated him like sin. Still, a good pair of broad shoulders were not to be sneezed at, especially when clad in khaki. Besides, Bill hated him like sin. lk Pk Dk PF Pk Pk Bk Pk ik ali Clearly Bill was not having a good time. Mrs. Stubbs lumbered about like a playful hippo, scattering dear's and welcomes in her path. Her daughter played hostess with the sprightly animation of a five-year corpse. Florence Reid, in accordance with the habits of her species, was clinging with the per- tinaoity of molasses, and with like effect on the temper. He wasn't used to such tactics, Dorothy didn't sigh wistfully every five minutes and remark how lonesome she was. Dorothy didn't steer the way toward the dark palm shaded corner, and deftly turn the talk to love. What did he know about THE PEABODY 29 love? He didn't know what she meant when she talked affinity and such bunk. Dorothy never talked such rot-a fellow could talk sense to Dorothy! It was between dances, now that the music had stopped, one had to talk. One's jaws began to ache from that infernal grin that etiquette de- manded one should paste on one's face. Suddenly the worthless chatter stopped dead. An electric thrill seemed to pass through the room-all eyes turned as though by common consent to the big portiered doorway. Was that vision-Dorothy? Lithe and tall she stood beside her khakied escort. Dorothy's eyes were the blue of crushed violets, and shone like fallen starsg her shoulders were alabaster, rising from churned sea-foam, her hair, a queen- ly Coronet, her dainty head rested like a living cameo against the rich red velvet. One by one, as though drawn by a magnet, the male contingent sought her side. They waxed merry as the ladies waxed glum. Dorothy's laughter pealed out with refreshing spontaneity. Dorothy danced like a fairy, looked like an angel, coquetted like a vixen, and oftenest he saw her gliding on that khaki arm. How he hated that khaki figure! And Florence Reid's dulcet tone poured into his ears-ah, some other partner had claimed Dorothy-that khaki fellow was standing alone-now was his chance. And I think every girl should wait for her ideal, melted Florence. Excuse me, he said curtly. I'll-I'll-get you an ice. A whispered word-a nod from the uniformed man, and the two melted from the hall. They sought the fiickering lighted garage. Back to their primeval fathers they went, stripped to the waist, and fought and gashed and punched in contest for lady-fair. It was very short. Soon Bill was solicitously offering a soppy sponge to the fallen khalai-clad. They surveyed each other in the flickering light. Bill was quite presentable-the fallen one could not appear again that night for reasons more obvious than beautiful. Well, good-night, old man. Sorry to have mussed you up. Don't mention it. Goodnight. Bill sought the hall again, and found Dorothy. A look here, a word there, and the coterie gradually vanished, and he was left alone with her. . Say Dot, he said, looking straight into the honest eyes-blue eyes, true blue, they were. Say Dot, your soldier-friend was called away. Want to go home with me? She sought his eyes, and watched the bronze flush creep up over his neck and face. Why thank you, Bill. I'd love to, she said. They walked home together through the moon light. Wide and free they walked, yet he felt her nearer than ever before. But because boyhood reserve is very queer, and will not let the lips utter what the heart fee-ls, all he said was, Say Dot, where'd you siwpe the dress? Say, it's fierce! 30 THE PEABODY TO THE ORIOLE Little laddie in the tree-top, Black and white and red and gold, Master singer of the morning, Faithful daddie, brave and bold: VVas the sunset ever redder Than the flame upon your breast? VVas a costume ever gayer Than your glossy coat and vest? Did the maples ever rustle Sweeter whispers than your note? Did the pine trees ever murmur Stronger warnings than your throat VVas a maiden ever dearer Than your bride on yonder tree? Was a cradle ever sweeter Than the one that swings so free? Still survive the groan of battle. Brighten still these sacred hillsg Blend your whistle with the breezes Till the hand-of-silence stills. Paul VVakefield, 12-A-1. lil El El FRIDAY SKETCH CLASS THE PEABODY 31 BIG LEAGUE EXPERIENCE Clyde Nicholson Busher Benny was dead in love-with himself. Nobody on this ter- restrial sphere amounted to a Picayune except Benjamin J. Oliver. But he was the only one who liked him, the rest of the club all remembered letters they had to write when Benny came near. This is how it started: Benny hit .300 and covered his territory pretty well in the Three Eye League the year before, and our scout, Sam Eicher, thought he was pretty good. Benny agreed wfith him. So he was signed up and went with us on this year's train- ing trip. But the poor fish must have thought that the Three Eye was the fastest in the country. He came to us with his tongue loose, and from the way he talked Tris Speaker is a hoe-wielder, and George Sisler is only used to fill up space. It took but a short time for him to spread his ideas, and still shorter for us to put him down for what I'm not allowed to write. Be- lieve me, with our gang he was like an unsuccessful vaccination, he didn't take worth a cent. Well, when a guy is unpopular with his team-mates he's not scheduled for a season in Paradise, and take it from me, we were not slow in letting him know it. In the hotel nobody ever asked him to sit in a game, and the Kelly pool games were always filled up when he came around. Some of the soft hearted fellows said it was hard on Benny, but the blamed simp brought it on himself. I' said he loved nobody but himself, but I was wrong. He was clean gone on a lovely queen, and they were scheduled to play with Dan Cupid's team at Matrimony when we started North. This gave Alex Hodge an idea. Say, maybe it wasn't some go. Alex arranged with a friend to get his house for an afternoon, and we did the rest. Pretty Elman, our shortstop, dressed up like a girl, and, believe me, he'd have passed for a Broadway star. We fixed a camera in the parlor be- hind a screen and then sent the Busher a lovely note requesting him to come to the house. When he came, the maid, who'd been tipped off, ushered him inilo the parlor, and then beat it. Then came the climax. With Benny standing in the middle of the room Pretty goes up to him quick and does a faint right in his arms before he has a chance to speak. Poof, goes the camera, and Benny's caught with the heroine in his arms. That sort of settled that bird for good. An explanatory delegation made it clear to Benny that if he was ever again caught telling how good he was, that picture would be shown to his girl, and his goose would be cooked. Every man on the team was given a copy of the picture, and when Benny forgot and started to spout, someone would draw it on him. Well, do you know that guy sort of got the shut-up habit, and before we broke training he got almost human. The bunch didn't hold malice, so when Benny and his queen went thru' the big event, we had a regular time. But, believe me, Benny's lesson could be used for a lot of the bushers who try to run the league.

Clriftin XX'hat's your child, Mandy, go up that hill for every evenin'? asked Miss XYiggins of old Mr. Cass as he went driving by over the rocky road. She goes up to light the lamp in Old NVidow Mill's window so's that son o' hern what run away to sea some twenty years or more ago can see, said M r. Cass. L'an't she light her own lamp? Naw, for several months she's been so badly laid up with the rheu- IIIZIIIZ that she ean't climb the stairs no more herself. You would eateh me lightin' o' a light for a son o' mine that run away to sea and left me that a way. 'I'hey tell me it was all over the ' had a littl' f y t uss one morning about the milkin' and he's ne'er been in sight o' her again. 'Ilhey say as how he drives his schooner through that channel over there what is so narrow by her plaee sometimes at night for reduein' the time to Boston. He certainly must be what one calls mule-headed, commented Miss VYiggins. XYell, I guess he is, and to think h e steers by his own mother's lamp, added Mr. Cass. Captain Mills who was as hard headed as any youth that ever took to salt water was made so by the people around him as well as by his 34 THE. PEABODY ancestry which could not have been sterner if of his own choosing. VVhen he was a boy it seemed to him as tho the village put a prize on mule-headed- ness. The whole village was that way, and even the land where it stood frowned on the encroaching waves with as grim a visage as that of Captain Mills wgho with one look could have turned to stone any other sea captain along that coast. Mr. Cass continued, Once Captain Mills and Captain Ellis had a row in Boston Harbor, for Captain Ellis said it was only Captain Mills' mother's light that made it so's he could drive through that channel. That beats my time, said Miss Wiggins. Yes, and that old woman is just as stubborn as she can be about keepin' that there light in the window. She crept up the stairs a long time afore my daughter, Mandy, took to lightin' the lamp for her although almost every step like tonigh killed her, said Mr. Cass. One night Mandy forgot till late and she was halfway up settin' there sufferin' with her rheumatiz bein' able to go no further. The old woman in the house by the sea continued to live on, and Mandy Cass was still lighting her lamp. The people in the village speculated on whether she would last out the winter and how many more after it. Some said that she was so stubborn that she would cling to life until Captain Mills had died, others said that Captain Mills would live the longer as he was too stubborn to die. Far out to sea you could see the peaceful low white house with its poplar tree by the door in the declining rays of the setting sun, a scene of external peace at least with its kind light placed in the attic window. Mandy had not climbed the hill long before she found there was another in the village who enjoyed the walk if he had pleasing company,- that of a blue eyed, slender maid with Haxen hair wreathing a kindly con- scientous face that could look stern at times. So, soon it was one of the seemingly indelible customs of the staid people of NVescot to watch Noel Green and Mandy Cass walk slowly toward the setting sun. NVatching sun- sets had never before been so popular in the village. Now in the evening you could see in nearly every rose covered door with the neat flower beds about, a woman shielding her eyes from the sun, and the men in front of the store, also, shielding their eyes as they all watched the two shadowy forms slowly climbing the rocky hill road between the stony field and the stone walls which were almost hidden by the sumac. The old woman lived on and Noel and Mandy continued to climb the hill. The autumn winds were blowing, and the days were so short that Mandy had scarcely any time to sit with Noel on the rocks watching the mournful Waves roll in before she must leave to light the lamp in the window. Some- times it was getting dark before Mandy had the lamp lighted, and the old woman told her one evening. My dear, you must not wait so late, the dark comes early now, and the night air is not good for young folks to be out in. She was not in the least aware of what made the night air, the darkness, and indefinite sea all before fading away in the distance, the rolling heather with THE PEABODY 35 its few scattered lights here and there, and the foaming coast line pleasant for Mandy. The winds became colder and there was the breath of snow in the air. One evening Mandy and Noel crept down among the sheltering rocks. They never noticed how quickly the sun slipped down behind the hiding clouds, or how soon the darkness spread over the sea. They were all alone by the raging waves and the moaning winds when Mandy exclaimed suddenly Don't you hear some one shouting? Oh, its only the moaning winds. It makes me feel awful mournful don't it you, answered Noel. Then after a moment they heard a sullen crash on the rocks and the shouting of men above the roar of the Waves. They both immediately realized what it was. Mandy rushed to place the light in the window, and Noel stum- bled off through the night and away to the sea in fear of the censure of the villagers. Mandy found the old woman dead at the foot of the stairs where she had fallen while making her last effort to place the light in the window. She hurried to light the lamp, and its pale glow gleamed out over the channel as the crew of the ship struggled with fate, but the merciless waves dragged them from the sight of the straggling line of villagers on the shore. Captain Mills was the last to be seen as he fought with a giant inky wave which carried him out of the seething, swirling channel with the rocky shore on the one side, and the dim island on the other. Spring had come with its peaceful grazing herds, and the village had settled into its old ways. The sea had taken its toll and there was a fresh mound in the grave yard, but the sea had always taken its toll and always will. Miss NViggins, overflowing with curiosity, met Mr. Cass at the gate and asked, NVhat's come over your child, Mandy, I never see her no more. You know when that wreck happened, and Noel wlent away an's never been hearn from since, and that ole woman was found dead by her Mandy went up there to live. All alone P asked Miss VViggins, as though it were awful to contem- plate although she had dwelled so for thirty years because she had a quarrel with her brother over her inheritance. Ya, I's just up to plow her garden. She has a right nice patch o' garden, an' lots o' posies around the yard. The ole woman had a right nice place up there, and she left it all to Mandy. Mandy keeps some chickens. She war always a good hand with them, and she lights the light every night for Noel like that ole woman used to light it for that son o' hem. Vizfsf' '36 THE PEABODY HIS GARDEN G. Baton What you doin', daddy? For ten whole minutes the youngster had stood gazing with wonder at his father who was struggling with some hard clay and a shovel. Never before had he seen his father work so hard. To be sure his mother had always told him when daddy left in the morning, he went to work, but he did not think it wlas that kind of work. I Since his first query brought no response, he tried again, Are you Workin', Daddy? Yes, I'm working, sullenly. Did you think I was playing? No-0, but what you workin', Daddy? Viciously he turned over another spade of dirt before answering. Oh, a garden, son. Do run away. A garden? Silence for two minutes, broken only by the sound of the spade as it hit anunusually large rock. But, Daddy, what's a garden? Wonderment shone on the lad's face. It was a new word for him. It is a place where you put things to make them grow. What things, Daddy? Oh, anything. Now, if you don't run off, I'll have to send you into the house and make you stay there l He wiped the drops of perspiration off with the back of his hand. The effect was ridiculous, but the youngster did not see it. He was walking slowly, thoughtfully toward the house. In the nursery he found his mother dressing the latest arrival in the family-a boy about two months old. I Mother, Daddy is makin' a garden, isn't he? Yes, dear. ll Mother, what's Daddy going to do with the garden? H Put little things in it. Then you can watch them grow big. Won't that be nice? Uh-huh, slowly. Mother, what do you put in a garden? Anything you want. Here, see that Baby Brother doesn't roll off the bed while I go down stairs. Immediately the baby began to squirm and yell at the top of its voice. Then his brother moved him, none too gently, nearer the middle of the bed. And they said I was going to get a brother to play with! Huh! Lots of fun you can have with him! VVhy, he can't walk, or talk, or-or anything -oh-o-lv A happy thought. He grabbed the baby in his arms and ran to the window. Daddy must have gone out front. Yes, he could hear his voice out there. 7--f -- W---'vi THE PEABODY 37 He must not like to work, he thought to himself. Cautiously he sneaked down the basement stairs, out the side door, and over to the farthest corner of the garden behind a bush. He walked calmly up the front steps and sat down on the top step. His father, in a better humor now that he was resting, noticed how strangely quiet his young son seemed to be. I was kind of cross to the poor kid, he thought. V How would you like to plant something in the garden, son? Then you can watch it grow. VVouldn't you like that P Uh-huh. Then after a minute, I'm waitin' for it to grow now. You're what ?- A scream from upstairs startled them. Bobby! Bobby! NVhere are you? Here I am, mother. NVhat did you do with the baby? NVhere is he? Oh! VVhat has happened ! He is all right, mother. I'm just watin' for him to grow. And he sat down again, his chin between two chubby little hands. The matter was settled. A . gm. B6 V ,a.. 4... J- PEABODY GARDENS 38 THE PEABODY REBELLIQN Bertha L. Rice Wellington was a regular boy, but at first glance the casual observer might not come to this conclusion. Wellington's costumes were certainly misleading. However, before we go further it would be well to remark that these costumes of Wellington's were not of his choosing. A fond, well- meaning, adoring mama chose his clothes for him, and, through her honest efforts each morning an odd caricature of a nine year old boy set out from the Booth home and took its embarrassed way to school. This caricature was garbed in a Little Lord Fauntleroy suit and dainty socks, and, Worst of all, golden curls flowed over the caricature's Buster Brown collar. On the par- ticular morning chosen for the opening of our story. Wellington was in a mood of black despair. His latest vigorous protest against his style of hair- dressing had been promptly squelched, and in addition his mother had wept. Wimmen, said Wellington, gritting his teeth, are-are-are-ain't huminf' His dark outlook upon the world was not brightened any by a remark that was hooted in his ear at the first corner. Good-mornin', Miss Booth, said the voice, Sorry to trouble yuh, but ye've lost yer hair-ribun. A The author of these words was Zip Rankin, the bad boy of the school, who spent the greater part of his time in making life the more unbearable for Wellington. Mrs. Booth was eternally ordering her son to have nothing to do with that impossible Rankin boy, and never, never to speak to him. How- ever, this morning's happening was just too much, and instead of making a dignified retreat as usual, Wellington turned to Zip and said pleasantly. Aw shut up, dern yuh. He was so pleased with himself that he grinned and Zip grinned back. Say, kid, said Zip, why duy yuh Wear them sissy duds, an' say why don't yuh get yer tresses trimmed ? My mother won' lemme, growled Wellington fand here he leaned closerj. I-I'm a--mortar. VVhy don't you run away? Why don't yuh-be a bandit er sumpin'? I bet I would, Zip sympathized. The two pursued their way, deeply absorbed in the serious problem of ridding Wellington of female -tyranny, and by the time' they had reached the school, anarchistic thoughts filled the heart of the Booth heir. It was nearing the close of the school term, and Miss Banker, the boys' teacher, was planning an entertainment for the following Friday evening, to which affair all the children's parents were invited. Every child was to per- form in some way, and upon the morning in question, Miss Banker asked each child to decide that night what he wished to do and then to let her know the next day. THE PEABODY 39 Accordingly, VVellington's mama composed for him a touching little selection that went like this: I am a boy of noble mind, I dearly love my school, I always do my studies well And never break a rule. My parents dear I do adore, I love my little friends, To think vacation soon is here, My very heart it rends. VVhen W'ellington saw this awful concoction his heart failed him. He started to school with a dull, desperate look, and as soon as possible hunted up Zip. It gave him wicked satisfaction thus to be seen with the toughest kid in the school. He confided to his new friend the fact that he would not appear in the entertainment in them girl's clothes and that he would not Hspeaklthat piece. A twinkling light came into Zip's eyes, and he straightway led VVelling- ton off into a secluded corner. The seance lasted quite a long time, and when it was over, the pair swaggered into the school house in the most im- portant manner imaginable. At intervals, all day long, Zip would glance back at NVellington with a meaning look, which operation would invariably be followed by the most intense snickering. Miss Banker was finally forced to ask Zip to leave the room. The evening of the entertainment at last arrived, and as the children were to come early in order to practice, Wellington was gorgeously arrayed in white linen and white socks, and sent ahead. He rehearsed his part very beautifully according to Miss Banker, and then he disappeared. The hall was full to overfiowing with proud papas and mamas, each pair intent on but one respective item of the program, breathlessy waiting the time when their various prodigies should be allowed to perform. Mr. and Mrs. Booth were no exception to the prevailing rule, both awaiting im- patiently the glorious moment when their VVellington should step upon the stage. - But at length when he did appear they unfortunately did not recognize him. His hair was clipped close, and the clipping had evidently been done by an unpracticed hand, for here and there all over his head wild little tufts stuck out in all directions. He was arrayed in an old swallow tailed coat of ancient date, from under which peeped his little white bloomers. And, horror of horrors, the part of his little legs which customarily remained bare, had been white-washed to match the socks. The effect was ludicrous in the extreme, and the climax was already on its wvay. Wellington opened his lips and began : I am a boy who hates to be Shut up all day in school, VVith ugly teachers scoldin' me An' ackin' like a fool. 40 THE PEABODY My parents treat me like a girl I'm leavin' home to-nite To try to find some darn ole place, Where folks 'ull treat me rite. I hate the good, I luv the bad, 1 ..-..... Oh! stop him, wailed Mrs. Booth, and W'ellington was grasped by :Jiss Baker's iirm hand, and dragged protesting from the stage.

See yourself as you nervously take your place in front of the audi- ence. Think of the expression you will wear while waiting for the applause to cease, and while waiting for the knocking of your knees to cease. llave a mental vision of that vast audience: note how far away from you those in the front of the hall ap- pear, and how near to you those in the rear appear. l'icture your awkwardness. Picture yourself trying to speak. lmagine your agony when you re- alize that your throat is dryer than the Sahara Desert, and that it would take oceans of water to give you hack your power of speech. See yourself gazing hopelessly at the floor, praying for the sudden destruction of the world. 'I'hink of your mental conditiong of how you hysterically resolve to give anything at all rather than fail. 'l'hink of your joy when, from some isolated corner of your brain, a flow of words comes rushing to the tip of your tongue.

BARBERS When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for us to have our weekly growth of chin foliage removed, we make that dreaded journey to a Whisker am- putating establishment. A barber is a queer individual. After strapping you in the chair, Qelectric or otherwisej, he asks you how you like the weather. VVhen you open your mouth to reply, in goes a brushful of lather. Then, as you give him a reproachful glance as if to say, Bad mans, you re- ceive the lather in the eye. The barber now has you at his mercy. Your will is completely broken. You laugh at his 1875-model jokes and say Fine when he asks you how the razor is, although he had used it a moment before to open a can of massage cream. After the whiskers have been removed, along with half your cuticle and a piece of your ear, the hot towel is next on the list of tortures. About the time you begin wondering who will feed the cat after you have gone, the 44 TI-IE P barber suddenly pauses in the midst of a poker game on the other side of the shop and remembers that he left you submerged in hot towels. After a few more nerve and body racking operations, you are discharged from the chair-a mere shell of your for- mer self. Then the barber expects a tip for his services. However, you cannot always blame a barber for being peevish, for, when some old Rip Van NVinkle comes into the shop with a beard which he has to wrap around his waist to keep from sleeping on, the poor barber has to use surveying in- struments and a pair of dividers to determine the location of his face. Nevertheless, barbcrs, for the most part, deserve to be led to the top of the rock of Gibralter--and pushed off. . D. McArthur, 10-A-3.

He always wanted to be pinched, CNow don't you think that's mean?J One night the Nut got all Hbeered up,' But the cops just passed him by: And then and there the Pecan gushed Getting pinched ain't soft as pie! He saw a sign upon a pole Which read, No spitting here. Fine, Thirty Days or Thirty Bucks, For second offense a year. The Pecan's eyes lit up like tire, And he spit till his throat was parched From Negley to the circus grounds, While past him policemen marched. They all just passed him up like mud And one big burly brute Spit on the walk in front of him, And once on the Pecan's boot. So he resolved to never try Another time to be Pinched by any cop in town, For all eternity. THE PEABODY 45 But one flne day he parked his Karr In front of the East End Trust: And, when in an hour he came out I thought he'd surely bust. For there, tied on the steering wheel, Was a notice to come to court. He thought at last he'd go to jail, And he treated the gang on Port. Next morning, before the magistrate, He stood with flfty more, Who, as soon as they had paid the fine, Made one great dive for the door. But, when it came his turn, the judge Pronounced, in tones intense, Pecan Knutt, you are discharged, For this is your first offense. With a painful sigh the Nut fell down, He landed on his head: Interment private, omit all flowers, Was the way the papers read. And, if you ever wish, as he, To be caged up in a cell, Why then, my friend, you'll surely land As the Nut: in a shady dell.

Would you mind informing me if the fol- lowing interpretation is correct: The maddlng throngs ignoble strife. That line reminds me of my Wife, But she reminds me of the bustle And the hustle, Just before the ringing of the bell. Not like the brook thru a quiet dell, But like a famous torrent rages, Or like a scholar cramming pages, They rush furiously past, to crowd at last Into that empty vacant seat- Some with their breakfast still to eat. But if they're in room one oh nine, I' Outside the door they'll have to dine, For that is ever the hard fate Of those who are ten seconds late. Your very expectant, Zim '17, 12A-4. Zim, 12-A-4: Not quite sure that I got you, I made an appointment with Mr. VVebster to look over the matter and found that his definition of connota- tion is: inference from an object to a quality. Your interpretation is connubially correct, although' it seems to me that your definition of connotation, according to your poetry, is: interference in quality by a subject. El E Eli DIRECTIONS f'l'o be cut out and kept for future referencej. The quickest way to get there is to enter the building through the door in front of the office. You should be very careful, as you cautiously worm your way around the corner into the locker room, that you are not seen by anyone in the office or in Mr. K-'s room. After waiting in the locker room, in a dark corner, until you have regained your presence of mind, you may set out again. The most difficult feat will be in passing the door of 106 without being seen. This stage of the perilous trip must be left to the individual ingenuity and cleverness. If this room is passed, you are safe, for you have practically reached your destination. Turn to the right, after passing 106, and proceed, be- hind the coat rack, to the door of room 105. At the left of the door, fastened to the wall, is a small black box. This is your destination.

However, it is necessary that you try this many times and place many contributions in the box until you have acquired sufficient dexterity to commit the deed be- tween periods when the hall is crowded.

POPULAR NOVELS A popular novel is about as im- possible a thing as a trip to the moon, and about as true to life as a Scotchman buying the drinks. When the hero goes out in the night on the cliffs to look at the sea and wonder what time it is in China, why is it he must always meet the woman of his dreams? She in- variably has either limpid blue eyes and a wealth of fiufify golden hair or else flashing black eyes and raven hair. Why don't they make their heroines red-haired and cross-eyed once in a while? Any- way, if the night is as dark as the author said it was, how in the deuce can the hero tell whether she has any eyes at all? In my opinion, that is the reason he called them flashing Again, why must he al- ways sense her approach by those hot and cold flashes? Why can't she sneak up behind him and bend a length of lead pipe over his head to let him know she is there? Then, there is the ever popular lonely and desolate moor where the hero comes face to face with the villain. The very word moor will make the dog growl and make the children run and hide under the bed. Why, you ask, can't the hero and heroine meet on the moor in- stead of the cliff? Dear reader, if an author dared have them meet'on a moor, he would be mobbed and strung up by the thumbs by other authors for violating the first and great rule of novel writing- The hero and heroine must meet on a cliff or not at all. These rules, however, apply only to stories located by the sea. In inland stories, the heroine must be 50 THE. P picking peaches from a hickory tree when the hero, a dashing young hunter, mistakes her for a bear Hitting among the trees and fires at her. These are the only two forms of meetings allowed by the Associ- ation for the Persecution of Novel Writers, and so you are obliged to pay your dollar and a half and take your choice. , D.

Peabody High School is justly proud of her alumni for the splendid work which they are doing in the fields of in- dustry and education. It is the duty and pleasure of the present graduat- ing class to uphold the standard set by the preceding classes. And in saying farewell, the editor has one final request to make of seniors: Show that you have not forgotten your Alma Mater, by communicat- ing with this department next year. If each alumnus would send but one news-item each semester to the Alumni Editor, this department would fulfill its proper function in keeping the student body and the alumni in touch with one another. li li' E XVilliam Allen, il6, has passed the entrance examinations for XVest Point and Will enter in June.

During the year we have expressed our opinions rather frankly in criticising our Ex- changes, therefore we welcome with pleasure their fair opinion of us. The following quotations indicate whether or not THE PEABODY is considered a worthy publication. Read them and hearken unto the verdict of the jury as it has been rendered! The one discordant note in the symphony of praise comes from The Schenley journal, Schenley High School, Pittsburgh, Pa.: The first mid-year Commence- ment Number that reached us came from Peabody High School. It ap- peared to us that this issue is their annual short story number for it contained seven stories occupying just a little over the same number of pages. None of these stories con- tained anything worthy of com- ment as the plots are too con- ventional and are developed awk- wardly. 'The Luck of the Santa Lucia' is the best production from the stories, while 'The Question' and 'There Ain't No Santa Claus' held first place among the poems. The story 'William Henry' is ridiculous. I am sure XVebster would groan on seeing words wasted on a plot, if it may be thus termed, such as is found in this story. The idea of an effeminate boy suddenly becoming wild and 'cleaning up the bunch' especially 'the bully' has, like many other things, had its day. Let it rest in peace! The class pictures are neat, but they would be more in- teresting if a 'write-up' had accom- panied each one. The Butler Magnet, Butler High School, Butler, Pa.: THE PEABODY-'Excellent' is the tribute we would pay your Commencement Number. The Oriole, South High School, Pittsburgh, Pa.: THE PEABODY' Pittsburgh, Pa.-THE PEABODY is one of the best journals we have seen this year. The School News is well handled. 58 THE. PEABODY The Rayen Record, Rayen High School, Youngstown, Ohio: From Pittsburgh comes one of the best exchanges we have re- ceived so far. THE PEABODY is an excellent paper from cover to cover, including the cover. The literary department is unusually complete. The Maroon and White, Union- town High School, Uniontown, Pa.: THE PEABODY, Peabody High School, Pittsburgh, Pa.- Your Melting Pot is excellent. Come again ! The East Liberty Academy Echo, East Liberty Academy, Pittsburgh, Pa. : The mid-year Commencement Number of THE PEABODY sets a high standard for school journalism in this section. The Carbon, Carbon County High School, Price, Utah: We are in receipt of the mid-year Commencement Number of THE PEABODY, Peabody High School, Pittsburgh, Pa. It is exceptionally new and clever and is very interest- ing from cover to cover. We wish to thank THE PEABODY staff for this excellent number and extend our hearty congratulations. The Sketch Book, Westinghouse High School, Pittsburgh, Pa.: THE PEABODY-We are glad to welcome you on our exchange list. Your paper is splendid. The Exchanges certainly were cleverly Written up. The Red and Blue, Sewickley High School, Sewickley, Pa.: THE PEABODY, Pittsburgh, Pa.-This is a splendid magazine and well arranged. The Monitor, New Castle High School, New Castle, Pa.: THE PEABODY from Pitts- burgh, Pa., was strong in its eight stories, but Weak in the one poem. Cannot authors turn poets? The Melting Pot was as fine as ever. The Echoes, Council Bluffs High School, Council Bluffs, Iowa: The influence of girls is readily discerned in THE PEABODY. The artistic arrangement and other evi- dences of a delicate aesthetic sense ,could be only the result of feminine effort. fNote-At this time we had two girls on the staffj The Virginian, Maury High School, Norfolk, Va.: THE PEABODY, Peabody High School, Pittsburgh, Pa., con- tains some of the best cuts we have seen so far in our numerous ex- changes. The Canton High School Monthly, Canton High School, Canton, Ohio: 'You're a wholesome young critic, my Englishmanf said the Censor. 'Your judgment may at times be lacking in the quality of mature comparison, but you have a clear sense of things that are Worth while and I like to talk 'Exchanges' with you.' I have here THE PEA- BGDY, Pittsburgh, and if you ever heard me speak of Francis Hogan from that institution you will re- member that I have a tender fond- ness for THE PEABODY. The March number, however, is disap- pointing, perhaps because I miss Hogan. The rather fragile and THE PE.A,BODY 59 sketchy contributions to the literary department have left me indefinite impressions. 'Megan' is a bit of suggestive color that wisely makes the reader finish the tale himself. 'The Hero' is better written and though its philosophy is as old as the hero-worship and Homeric epic, it has a sweet and plaintive value in the boy's aching realization of modern world values. 'Impromptu Introductions' is the least readable' of all the paper. The Gleeman, Bellevue High School, Bellevue, Pa.: NVe are glad to see that the same high standard is still maintained in THE PEABODY, Pittsburgh, Pa., especially in its fine stories. Good cartoons are a special feature. The Fifth Avenue Life, Fifth Avenue High School, Pittsburgh, Pa. : THE PEABODY, Pittsburgh, Pa.-We shall use your own editor's words in criticising you. 'So Well edited that it is almost superfluous to offer comment'. The Piquonian, Piqua High School, Piqua, Ohio: THE PEABODY of Pittsburgh, Pa., one of our new exchanges, has some clever cuts and stories. The Penn Charter Magazine, Penn Charter School, Philadelphia, Pa. : 'Her Party' in THE PEABODY fFebruaryj, Peabody High School, Pittsburgh, Pa., is very cleverly written. The plot is unique and the English good as is the case with the stories in THE PEABODY. The 'Gnarrative of the Gnu' is veryifun- ny. This appears, along with other articles equally good, under a de- partment labelled the 'Melting Pot' -in which many things which could not be well put under any other de- partment, are placed. The Keramos, East Liverpool High School, East Liverpool, Ohio: THE PEABODY, Pittsburgh, Pa.-The cut for your Exchange De- partment is very clever. The Westward Ho! Western High School, Baltimore, Md.: THE PEABODY, Pittsburgh, Pa.-As good as ever. The Melting Pot still continues a winner. The Erasmian, Erasmus' Hall High School, Brooklyn, N. Y.: THE PEABODY-You have on the Whole a fine paper. Your humor columns are really humorous. Your athletics are well written up. We like the amount of space given to the girls. Why not have a cover that corresponds to the rest of the magazine? The Spectator, Harrisburg Ac- ademy, Harrisburg, Pa.: THE PENN CHARTER and THE PEABODY-These two school papers could rapidly sell on any news stand, as they are on the same footing as other magazines. They possess much originality and are well written, which makes them very entertaining. The Tiger, Elkins High School, Elkins, W. Va.: THE PEABODY, Pittsburgh, Pa.-We are certainly glad to welcome you to our school, for you are well prepared in every line. 60 THE. PEABODY 1 EE BOYS FACULTY-STUDENT BASKET- BALL The Faculty-Student basketball game was the best of the season in that it afforded great enjoyment to all who saw it. Needless to say the students won, although public opin- ion seemed to favor the Faculty. EEE PEABODY DOWNS WESTING- HOUSE In the opening game of the series, Peabody downed the Westinghouse team by a score of 5-4. The game took place on May 7, at the County League Grounds. Captain Mal Moffatt pitched a splendid game, being in danger only once when four hits together with a walk scored all of the loser's runs. He had good control during most of the game.

WESTINGHOUSE WHIPS PEABODY On May 25, the Westinghouse nine defeated the Peabody team to the tune of 3-1 on Morningside Field. The game was about the longest Peabody has played as it was featured by many lights among the spectators. Wright pitched in mid-season form and his delivery would rival any big league star. He gave but two hits and struck out fourteen batters. His hitting was also a feature as he and Hager together got six out of the seven hits secured by Peabody. Peabody by all laws of baseball should have secured more than one run because many men died on the bases but the game looked safe un- til- the seventh when two walks, an error by Campbell, and a boner by Hager, secured the three runs for the visitors.

EEE PEABODY LOSES TO SCHENLEY BY NARROW MARGIN Peabody lost a swimming meet in Schenley's pool on May 8. The meet was close throughout until the relay raee decided it definitely. Up to that point the score was a tie, but EABODY we lost that event to Schenley. The result was that the score was 32 to 27.

PEABODY l l I BOYS' GYMNASIUM ,,L..l- GIRLS REVIEW OF 1916-1917 SEASON The season 1916-1917, as far as the girls athletics are concerned, has had more activities than any preceding year. The basketball season began propitiously, but the unfortunate loss of three varsity players in the height of the season crippled our hopes. At that, third place was not so had. Then, too, we had a sweeping success in those extra games which we played-not losing a single game. One of the new features this season was the swimming meet. But Peabody's swimming material hadn't been developed, therefore we took only Fifth place. But we showed our mettle in the track meet by coming out a close second. There were a few surprises at the track meet-Miss Steele, of Peabody, and Miss Gayda, of of Schenley, both broke the world's record for the baseball throw. Miss Steele threw 235 ft. Our other rep- resentatives also macle a very good showing, netting us a total of 22 points. Thus, although the general record that the Peabody girls team, for this year has not been brilliant, still con- sidering the fact that nearly all the material was new, we made a very fair record.

THE UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH LITERARY CONTEST The third annual literary contest resulted in a remarkable victory for Peabody's contestants. Our repre- sentatives secured four gold medals, three silver medals, and tvvo bronze medals, giving us a total of thirty- one points out of fifty. This is the second time in three years in which Peabody has won an overwhelming victory. In the first contest held in 1915, we received four gold medals out of six events. Our medal winners were as fol- lows: Declamation : John XVillard, first. Reading: Amelia Igel, first. Margaret Ford, third. Extemporaneous Speaking: Ray Fitzgerald, second. Latin : Lillian Krieger, first. Richard -lones, second. Fannie Aaron, third. European History: Ben Davidson, first.
