One step towards this goal has been the new cover which is more substantial and more attractive than the covers before used. The originality, intellect, artistic tempera- ment, and humor of the class have been gathered together and grouped into the Roulette.” May you reap as much pleasure and enjoyment from it as we have had in anticipating a success in this, our work. E. F. C. Cfte Boulette 9 In Appreciation, May the future days of our beloved teacher, 4 fl3r. I?. Hugustusi UMler, 3r. be blessed with all that is best in life as a reward for his untiring interest, the sacrificing of his valuable time, and his earnest desire to help us make our High School Annual a success.

Audrey’s auburn curls and big brown eyes speak for themselves. Look down into her eyes and you can see her every emotion. She is just the kind of a pal to run to when you need someone who understands and who knows how to help you. Audrey knows and is willing, or it isn’t worth while. RUTH ORMONDE BUTLER “Bobbie” “A merry heart doeth good like a medicine.” Daniel Literary Society; Public Speaking Society; Athletic Association; History Club. She’s just a little bit of humanity, but P. H. S. wouldn’t be the same without her sunny smile. So, Ruth, in after years there will come floating down the stream of memory to us a vision of a dear little girl, with some dear little curls, two deep dimples, and a 4p ar little nose, tip-tilted like the pets ' MARY YANCEY CABAN: Happy-go-lucky, where’er she Many her friends, and few her Page Literary Society; School Weekly tary and Treasurer of History Club; t Athletic Association. We all wish that we could face the worl smile like Mary, for few of us have ever really angry. The rule goes that pretty girls c very intelligent, but, classmates, we all agree i is an exception. 20 Cf)e Houlette 111 11111 i™ 111 min 11 1111111111 mi MACLIN BOISSEAU COGBILL, Jr. “Mac” “Somebody said that it couldn ' t be done. But he with a chuckle replied, That ‘maybe it couldn’t, but he would be one Who wouldn ' t say so till he’d tried.’” Hi-Y Club ; Athletic Association ; Page Literary So- ciety Debating Team; Editor-in-Chief of Missile; School Representative in the State Declamation Contest ; History Club ; Chairman Clean-up Campaign of Civics Club ; President of 4A Class ; Assistant Business Manager of The Roulette; Prophet of February Class. Maclin is a boy who tries anything once, and whose company is always enjoyed. It has been Mac’s aim for four years to complete the many requests that Miss Guerrant has bestowed upon him. Although all his classmates do not know it, Mac believes “a quiet game of checkers improves the mind.” BERNARD COHEN “Berny” A man of few words is a man of good judgment.” History Club ; Civics Club ; Orchestra ; Athletic As- sociation ; Page Literary Society; City Editor, School Weekly News. “Berny” is sincere in everything he does, with a dis- like and abhorrence of imitation. Although he is quiet and naturally slow, he is a jovial fellow and over- flowing with mirth and subtle humor at many times. On various occasions we have consulted the dictionary as an aid in translating his long bombastic phrases ' simple English, but he is in earnest when he 1 they are r ” r, ’sdo -1 and under- FLORENCE CROCKER “Florence” ind truth and virtue were her theme, opes of divine liberty, ne most dear to her, and poesy, poet.” .ief of The Roulette ; School Weekly News Poet; Secretary and Treasurer 4A Class; .nt 4B Class; Page Literary Society; -sociation ; received a Bronze Medal for y net words in a fifteen-minute speed test, rwood Typewriter, and Typewriting Speed Friendship Club. r her for her intellect, and love her for ss and purity.

To know Isabel is to love her. With her quiet, gentle ways she is always making friends. She’s always ready to lend a helping hand, and she’s on the spot whenever a “fellow needs a friend.” EDITH GORDON CRUMP “Edie” “Sweet personality, Full of rascality.” Page Literary Society; Athletic Association; Missile Reporter; Exchange Editor of Missile; Associate Edi- tor of Missile; Associate Editor of Annual ; Staff of School Weekly News; Vice-President of History Club; Secretary and Treasurer of Civics Club; Song Writer of February Class; winner of gold thimble given for Domestic Arts in 1923; Friendship Club; Honor Graduate, February Class. Edith is a dear girl, always full of fun. She is very studious, and we wonder how one small head can carry all she knows. Her special weakness is worshiping at Mr. Miller’s shrine. ANTROBUS BOND GRAY “Trobus” “Accomplishments were native to his mind, Like precious pearls within a clasping shell.” Athletic Association; Page Literary Society; Civics Club; Missile Staff; History Club; Vice-President 4A Class; School Weekly News Staff; Associate Editor Annual Staff. Antrobus spends much of his time in the Physics Laboratory — not working Physics, but playing checkers ! Fortunately he is luckier in the classroom than over the checkerboard. His golden comes as regularly as the milkman. 22 Cfje Eoulette iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiifTTnniiiniiiiiniiiiniiiMiMMinniiiiiiHniiiiinirTniimiiiiiiiniiiiini niiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinniniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ALEXANDER HAMILTON “Alex” “A handsome person in his looks And in his mind the wisest books.” Football Team; Athletic Council; Page Literary So- ciety; .Secretary and Treasurer Hi-Y Club; Treasurer Athletic Association; Secretary and Treasurer Mono- gram Club; Treasurer Civics Club; Vice-President Public Speaking Society; History Club; Circulation Manager of Missile. “Alex” is the most popular person of the class, and rightly so, for he is just the most attractive person imaginable. He leaves a name for himself both in athletics and studies. And, oh ! how impressive he is with the ladies. FANNIE SIFF LAYENSTEIN “Fan” “We don ' t know why we like you. Except because it ' s you, This may not be good logic, But goodness knows it ' s true!” Page Literary Society; Athletic Association; Flistory Club; Civics Club. Fannie is one of those easy-going girls whom one seldom sees. She is never in a bad humor, cross, or out of sorts. Her type is hard to find, and we fully appreciate her. GRACE I. MAGEE “Frenchie” “Be not simply good, be good for something.” Athletic Association; Page Literary Society; School Weekly News; Speed Certificate awarded by Under- wood Typewriter Company. The above quotation is Grace all over. Has she not a political purpose behind all of this? We often wonder why she is so intensely interested in William Cullen Bryant.

Ruth is indeed a pal good and true, always ready to help you out of your troubles and always ready to hear your sorrows. She rejoices with you when you have good luck and comforts you when you weep. She is an all-around good sport and keeps us all in good spirits. WOODARD ALLEN RAINE “Allen” ‘‘He is quiet, sincere, but happy at heart, With a gladness untold, he does more than his part.” Page Literary Society; History Club; Civics Club; School Weekly News Staff; Athletic Association; High School Band and Orchestra. Allen is one of the most faithful of our class, and is always ready to help his friends. We have never seen him too serious, but at all times he wears a smile that lias won the love and good will of his schoolmates — he is truly everything that becomes a gentleman. MARY ANN RAMEY “Bobbie” ‘A smile that to ins, the tints that gloiv, But tell of days in goodness spent; A mind at peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent.” Daniel Literary Society ; Civics Club ; School Weekly News; History Club; Friendship Club. Mary is a good old pal, and we don’t know how we’d do without her. She’s a friend, indeed, in a time of need. 24 Cfte Houlette WILLIAM WHITE READE “Bill” “Honest and sincere— a true friend to everyone.” Athletic Association; Page Literary Society; History Club ; Civics Club ; High School Band. “Bill” is an ardent supporter of all the school activi- ties. He takes misfortune with a calmness rarely known ; in victory he wears a smile that invites us all to share it with him. ' ‘Bill” has a great objective in the business world, and we feel sure that such a fine all-round fellow will reach the heights of success. LUCIUS PEEBLES ROBERTSON, Jr. “If at first you don’t succeed , try, try again.” Page Literary Society; Athletic Association; Cadet Corps; History Club; Civics Club; Hi-Y Club; Foot- ball Squad of ’23. Lucius is always trying hard, and usually succeeds. While not the brightest pupil in his class he can usually be found near the leaders at the end of the term. In football, he has been out on the field doing his best at every practice. ELDRIDGE COOK SIMMONS “Educated” “His brain is a vast storehouse of knowledge.” Athletic Association; History Club; Civics Club; Missile Reporter; School Weekly News Staff; Page Literary Society; Class Historian. Studying is Eldridge’s favorite pastime, with checker- playing a close second. His code is : “To will, to strive, and not to yield.” It seems to have brought success, for “Educated” is appealed to as referee in many dis- putes over scholastic affairs.

She is a good cook and will make her “fu- ture” a good wife some day. She is always willing to help in any work or to do almost anything you ask her. HERBERT G. TALBOTT “Tabby” “ Better to be small and shine Than to be large and cast a shadow.” Page Literary Society; School Weekly News; His- tory Club ; Athletic Association ; Orchestra ; Civics Club ; Missile Reporter. “Tabby” is an all-round friend and has a heart for one so small. “Nerve” is his middle name, and no obstacle can stand in his way when once his mind is set on accomplishing any task. LILLIAN ANNA TEMPLE “Temp” “She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes.” Page Literary Society; Athletic Association; As- sociate Editor Annual Staff; Typewriting Speed Cer- tificate. She’s a marvel of beauty, and her prey is man. Is it her raven locks, her natural blush? We cannot solve the mystery. Or perhaps it’s her loving personality; fun-loving, a good sport, coquettish, a maid of the highest ideals. Lillian captivates all. 26 Cl )t Koulette ini Minimi iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii llll III I ■■ llll ■■ i 1 1 II 1 1 Ml 1 1 1 1 II II 1 1 1 1 III I II M III 1 1 II I IM M III IM I El 1 1 Mil I M 1 1 II 3 1 1 1 1 M 1 1 j 1 1 1 1 M I Ml Ml MIMI MMIM Mil Ml M M M IMI I II II III II Bill I II II III 1 1 1 III III!

When it comes to love-making, Archie has got the world beat, and Hinton Street holds a great attraction for him. He had rather go to Latin Class and hear Mr. Stuart talk about Vergil than to eat when he is hungry. GROVER G. TUCKER “Tuck” Who could not conquer the greatest obstacles with determination as his weapon?’’ Athletic Association; Daniel Literary Society; Orchestra; Band; Misssile Reporter; History Club; Civics Club; School Weekly News; Treasurer Sopho- more Class. Grover cannot be classed among our geniuses, but he has a heart for any fate and anything that he is not willing to dig for isn’t worth having. Everybody loves Grover because he is a true friend and the best of pals. PERRY WELLS “Peter” “The best in a man will crop out when put to the test.’’ Monogram Club; Hi-Y Club; Football Team; Page Literary Society; Missile Reporter; Civics Club; Art Editor Annual Staff. The above slogan fits Peter. Though a bashful boy a short while ago, he is now quite a sheik among the girls. On the football field he has proved to be quite as dauntless against opposing linesmen as he is with the ladies.

Here is that mysterious Willie. We love his way of doing things, but we can’t solve him. Willie is familiar with the girls, but never makes a date. No, he is not bashful. Just the same, he’s the best kind of pal. ELLEN VIRGINIA WILBORNE “Helen” “ Soft peace she brings until her whenever she arrives Page Literary Society; School Weekly News; Athletic Association; History Club; Civics Club. Somehow, everyone we meet seems to have some- thing nice to say about Ellen. We wondered why till we found out for ourselves one day that she’s better’n all the things they could say. HUGH L. C. WILKERSON “Wilk” ‘ He is one that will not plead that cause wherein his tongue must be confuted by his conscience.” Missile Reporter; Vice-President of 3B Class; Daniel Literary Society ; High School Orchestra and Band ; Hi-Y Club; History Club; Civics Club; School Weekly News Staff ; President of February Graduating Class ; Associate Editor of Annual Staff. Hugh is a friend, big-hearted and true, with a mind that is equalled by few and a character devoid of sham. 28 Cfce Roulette tiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii NELLIE WILLIAMS “Williams” Nothing ever, hardly ever, troubles me.” Athletic Association; Basketball Team, three years; Public Speaking Society; Friendship Club; History Club; Civics Club; School Weekly News Staff; Photo- graph Committee of Annual Staff. The doggonedest combination of imp of satan and an angel dropped “Keyslunk” off the knees of the gods down into our midst, is Williams. But where basket- ball is concerned she is all angel — nothin’ but! ROBERT JEFFERSON WOOD “Bob — “Sheik” “An equal mixture of good humor and sense.” Treasurer Athletic Association; Associate Editor and Assistant Circulation Manager of the Missile; Editor School Weekly News; President Civics Club; Page Society; Student Manager of Athletics; Secretary- Treasurer Hi-Y Club ; History Club; Page Society and P. H. S. Debating Teams; Basketball Team. Bob is one of the most energetic and popular students in school. It seems that it ' s a case of the office seeking the man. for he has had so many he’s lost count of them all. It must be said that Bob is quite a “Sheik ; he seems to be more popular with the ladies than any man in the Senior Class. !

She persists in speaking of Lunsford, and we are compelled to “lend an ear.” Her charms are irresistible. A golden-haired, blue-eyed fairy brimming over with fun and witty sayings. Without Virgie we are lost. DORIS NOEL BAMBER “Dot She is timid, she is shy. But there’s mischief in her eye.” President 4A Class; Secretary Local History Club; Civics Club ; Page Literary Society ; Athletic Associa- tion ; Annual Staff ; School Weekly News Staff. On looking into her face, one sees there honesty, sincerity, and often seriousness. On knowing her, one finds, along with these qualities, a humor that is not always detected in her countenance. In short, she is all that anyone can wish. EDWIN RUDOLPH BOWMAN, Jr. “Eddie” “Laugh and the world laughs with you, Weep and you weep alone.” Hi-Y Club; Orchestra and Band; Athletic Associa- tion; Civics Club; Secretary and Treasurer 4A Class; Missile Staff; Annual Staff; School Weekly News Staff; Daniel Literary Society; Vice-President Junior Hi-Y ; President 4B Class. “Eddie” is an all-around musician, sport, and athlete. He ' s a good fellow to have around on all occasions, for his presence puts pep into all activities, regardless. Bowman is one of these “friend in need is a friend indeed” fellows. He’s always ready to serve someone else. 30 Cfje Iftoulette iiiiimiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiii HAZEL BRANCH “Hazel Nut” “Rare compound of oddity, frolic and fun.” History Club; Daniel Literary Society; Civics Club; Athletic Association. Curly-headed Hazel is always on the job with a grin and a kind word. She is very fond of fun, but she is quiet about it. Yes, everyone likes “Nut.” VIRGINIA WATKINS COUSINS “Ginger” “ Fortunate are they who have her for a friend .” Local History Club. Though quiet and studious, Virginia is one of the best of sports, game for anything. Without her aid many French and Latin students would fear to take their reports home. She is the best of pals and hard to beat. MURIEL FLORENCE DAVIES “Mule” With lots of pep, sincere in mind, The truest friend you ' ll ever find.” Page Literary Society Friendship Club; History Club ; Athletic Association; School Weekly News; Cheer Leader; Basketball Squad; Civics Club; Missile Reporter. Muriel never stops making friends, possessing the secret of popularity. Is she ever serious, one may ask? Well, she’s full of fun, but serious along one line. We wonder what that line is?

LULA EDMONDS “Peggy” “Truthful, dependable, jolly and gay, A faithful friend, the best we can say.” Athletic Association; Bronze Medal for Typewriting. Peggy is admired by all her friends and classmates. She is good-natured and a true friend. She is always ready to lend a helping hand. Peggy never frowns, especially in French class. GRACE ELLIS “Buzz” “They love truth best who themselves arc true, And what they care to dream of dare to do.” Athletic Association. Grace is a pretty girl who knows her lessons, and is willing at all times to lend a helping, sympathetic hand. Buzz” is very good-natured and affectionate. True to her name, she buzzes all around making friends. RUTH JENNINGS FOWLKES Lamkin” “For in our minds, of all mankind, We love but you, alone.” Athletic Association; Page Literary Society; Friend- ship Club; Missile Reporter; School Weekly News Staff ; Science Club. There is one person P. H. S. will regret losing next year; that is “Lamkin.” “Lamkin” is a friend to all. If she is not your friend and comrade, it isn’t her fault. She never gets angry and agrees with everyone. 32 Cl )e Roulette iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiaiiiiiiiiiiiitfiiiiiiiiiiiiiMfiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiHiiiiiiiii;iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitnnfiiiiiiiiinirTminiiiinniinniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii HiiiiiiiniiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiitiniiiiitiiniiiiiniiiiiiiii:iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ANNIE LEIGH JENNINGS “Toots” “Studious, talkative, and alzvays gay, A rare good girl in every way.” Athletic Association; School Weekly News Stalf; Daniel Literary Society. It is a pleasure to have “Toots” around. She talks and chews the whole day through. Her lessons are al- ways prepared well, and she has never been known to be anything but perfect in everything. AGNES GERTRUDE JOYCE “Cindy” “An ideal pal in every way, The kind of friend you won’t find every day.” Athletic Association; Missile Reporter; School Week- ly News; History Club; Will Writer. The best we can say is none too good for “Cindy.” She is always happy and gay, and willing to lend a helping hand. Indeed, we are proud of such a class- mate. R. LUCILE JUSTICE “Cove” “And still they gazed, and still wonder grew, That one small head could carry all she knew.” Athletic Association; Girls’ Chorus. Cove is one of the best all-round girls we have ever met, always willing to give a helping hand. She is a great favorite, and one whom we are proud to claim as a classmate and friend. Cove teems with good fellow- ship, and her friendship once gained is a highly prized jewel indeed.

MARGARET GORDON MANN “Peggy” Independent, proud — yet a most sincere friend.” Page Society; Athletic Association; History Club; Annual Staff ; Civics Club. Peggy is a true sport, always willing to have a good time, and yet Willing to stop when the time comes. She has brains — yes, we cannot doublt this — but we believe that she does not overwork them.

While our record has not been one which will cause other classes to turn green with envy, we hope that it will serve to stimulate them with a desire to do greater things than we have done and to do them better. It is, then, for this purpose that we submit the history of our class. The class, always an ardent supporter of The Missile, has furnished the following as members of the staff: Maclin Cogbill, editor-in-chief, ’24 ; Edith Crump, exchange editor, ’23, and as- sociate editor, ' 24 ; Earl Valentine, assistant business manager, ’22 and ’23 ; Alex Hamilton, circulation manager, ’23 ; Kathe- rine Moorman, alumni editor, ’24, and Audrey Bozel, head re- porter, ’24. In 1922, Katherine Hatchett was elected vice-president of the Athletic Association and in ’23 president. Robert Wood was treasurer in ’22 and ’23. Although not very active along the line of sports, we have given to the girls’ basketball team Katherine Hatchett and Kellie Williams; to the football team: Rudolph von Erichsen, ' 22 and ’23 ; Perry Wells and Alex Hamilton, ’23. Erichsen, at the close of the 1923 season was chosen by his teammates as the best player on the team and was awarded a silver football by Mr. Stanton Pilcher. He also was a member of the baseball team in ' 23. Despite the fact that both literary societies received members from the class, the majority belonged to the Page.

Maclin Cogbill represented the Page in the annual debate with the Daniel and also won the prize given to the best declaimer in the school. Robert Wood, too, was on the Page Society debating team and, moreover, on that of the school. The school weekly news sheet while under the management of the Class of 1924 was unusually successful. Bernard Cohen, as city editor, directed the publication. Audrey Bozel, a member of the staff, won the medal offered by the Progress-Index to the student writing the best newspaper articles. The History Club, one of the most interesting of the school activities, which has for its purpose the study of the historical places in and near our own city, has always held a fascination for those who compose its membership. Edith Crump and Mary Cabaniss, in their junior year, were respectively vice-president and secretary and treasurer of this organization. The Civics Club, the companion organization of the History Club, had these officers from our class : Robert Wood, president, and Edith Crump, secretary and treasurer. The class is represented in the High School Orchestra by Willie Wells, Allen Raine, Hugh Wilkerson, Grover Tucker and Earl Valentine. The Hi-Y Club in 1924 elected Alexander Hamilton secre- tary and treasurer. This club, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., is a connecting link between that society and the High School. The Friendship Club, a similar organization among the girls, had Katherine Hatchett for its vice-president in 1923. Thus ends the record of the February Class of 1924. May those who follow us strive ever to sustain and to raise to higher levels the spirit of the High School, and ever to advance its standards whether they be in the field of morals, of scholarships, or of athletics.

Therefore, there can be no better time than this for a slight resume of the activities of the June Class of 1924. Led by one of its members, Allan Cook, president of the Athletic Association, the June Class supported the Athletic As- sociation heartily. Our class, while not represented by numbers on the gridiron, was represented in importance. Allan Cook, class member, was an important member of the squad. Cook also carried the class colors on the basketball court. On the girls ' basketball squad our class was represented by Elizabeth Hargrave. Nearly all of the business of the annual was carried on by June Class members, John McClure being business manager, James Sutherland, circulation manager, and Wilmer Robertson, assistant circulation manager. On the Missile staff our class was well represented. David ice served for both terms as business manager. The posi- tions of editor-in-chief and boys’ athletic reporter were held by Tames Sutherland and Wilmer Robertson. In their Junior year the following were officers of the His- tory Club : Margaret Severs, president ; Gordon Rennie, vice- president ; Doris Bamber, secretary, and James Sutherland, treasurer. The members who, in their Senior year, held offices in the Civics Club were: Margaret Severs, president; Arline Tucker, vice-president ; Rosa Lane, secretary and treasurer.

The June Class contributed members to both the Page and the Daniel Literary Societies. With Evelyn Smith, Edwin R. Bowman, Jr., and Robert Pully in the orchestra, the June Class is well represented. The Hi-Y Club counted among its membership six of our members, who stood for the high ideals which that club promotes. Under the leadership of Edwin R. Bowman, Jr., the last class president, the June Class of 1924 makes its exit hoping that the Petersburg High School is better because of our four- year stay there. James W. Sutherland.

I was still on the train and was speeding through beautiful fields. One glance into the West assured me that I was nearing my destination, for nowhere except in Petersburg had I ever seen the sun set in such splendor. Many years had passed since I was in this city, and I hardly recognized it as I jumped off the train. Walking up the street I met Florence Crocker. From the look on her face one would think she was in heaven, but I do not see any wings. She tells me that she is merely Mr. Miller ' s secretary. Mr. Miller has retired from teaching school and is now writing books. Edith Crump has taken his place as head of the English Department in the Petersburg High School, and now instead of the girls liking English, as it was when Mr. Miller taught it, the boys have become very much interested in the subject. P. H. S. could not let Catherine Moorman leave her, so I find that she is back turning out a basketball team equal to, if not greater than, any one ever produced by the High School. Fate is indeed queer. While in P. H. S. everyone expected to see Alex Hamilton in the role of Roman Navarro in a few years, but instead — ah! Fate is cruel, he is substituting for Ben Turpin. Speaking of moving pictures, I find that Isabel Crockford, who we all thought would be a second Paderewski, is playing the piano at the Cockade Theatre. I purchase a newspaper and find the names of my classmates mentioned on nearly every page. On the front page I read that Antrobus Gray is running for Congress, after a very successful career as a lawyer, and that Robert Wood has been elected busi- ness manager of the Chamber of Commerce. Wood received 54 Ct)e Roulette 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 n 1 1 1 1 1 it ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 r 1 1 1 1 ii i n 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 n 1 1 1 u u 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 n i u 1 1 1 n 1 1 1 1 1 • 1 1 1 ■ i n 1 1 1 n 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 n 1 1 1 1 1 1 m 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 • i m 1 1 1 n i m n 1 1 1 1 ii i n ii 1 1 1 n 1 1 1 1 1 1 n n 1 1 1 1 1 it i lit n m 1 1 n 1 1 1 1 1 1 m 1 1 m 1 1 1 1 it 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ■ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 lit 1 1 1 1 1 1 mi ii 1 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 1 1 mi • 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 ii iiiiii 1 1 1 mi 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 1 ii it 1 1 iiiii 1 1 1 1 1 mi 1 1 ■ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 it 1 1 1 1 1 mi 1 1 1 1 in 1 1 1 1 1 1 it 1 1 1 1 in 1 1 1 in 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 valuable training from the Junior Chamber of Commerce, estab- lished while he was in the Petersburg High School. I read that Ruth Perkins is the mistress of a large dancing school established for the benefit of stout people who wish to reduce. On the sporting page I see that Petersburg has at last turned out a good ball team with Joe Jolliff as manager. I also observe that Mary Cabaniss has become an expert “poole player, and critics declare that she will win the Woman’s National Cham- pionship. Turning to the column devoted to the books of the day, 1 chance across the name Thweatt. Is it possible that our friend Archibald Thweatt has become an author? Reading further I find that he has just issued a Latin pony having so much sympathy with the Latin students who must follow him. I see that Kitty Hatchett has not changed much since her Senior days at P. H. S. She is still pestering folks by hiding their valuables. Unfortunately, and much to my regret, she has just received a sentence for this very thing and is on her way to serve it at Sing Sing. Under the head of Music Notes, I read that my old friends, Bernard Cohen, Earl Valentine, Allen Raine, Willie Wells, Grover Tucker, and Hugh Wilkerson, have formed the All- Southern Sextette and are rapidly gaining world-wide reputation. They have just signed a contract to make records for the Victor Company. I stop in front of the Century Theater and look at the signs on the outside. Much to my surprise, I see Audrey Bozel’s name in glaring letters as the leading actress in the play showing there this week. Not far from the theatre I come to a building on which is this sign : “Charm School for Young Women Only, conducted by William Reade. My quiet pal. Bill, is directing his entire efforts to help young girls secure their M. R. S. degree. He has secured Ruth Butler as teacher of hairdressing as she was famous for her curls while in High School. Next door to this Cl )t Eoulette 55 imHiHiHmimmHHimiiiiimiiimMimimiiiimmiiiiiimiimiiMimiimiiiMiimimiiiiiimMiimiiiiiimimiiiiiMMiiiiniimiitimmiiimiiiiiiHiimHiiiiiiiiiMiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimimmiiiiiimiiii is another building which bears this sign, “Amorous Corre- spondence Association ; We Write Your Love Letters.” I find that this place is conducted by Mary Ramey. Walking up the street I see a very attractive candy shop, and on the window I read the name Lavenstien. Can it be Fannie? I am not surprised, for she got good practice in P. H. S. and could make some fudge. The old city has surely grown since I left it, for what do I see but a sight-seeing bus coming up the street on which is Lucius Robertson, who, by the aid of a megaph one, is pointing out the various places of historic interest. Strange, but at last he has learned 1 to use his vocal chords. I go to Tony’s to get a bite to eat. A familiar face greets my eye from the soda fountain — Williams, Nellie Williams, our basketball player, is now throwing sodas across the counter in- stead of throwing basketballs. Who comes to take my order but Ellen Wilbourne, now a dainty waitress? Talking of old friends, I mentioned Noldi Weber ' s name and Ellen informed me that Noldi had made a fortune by discovering something to turn red hair a perfectly natural looking black. The superintendent of the factory where this remarkable liquid is made is Grace Magee. While sitting there I hear two people come through the door. One is saying, “Now, if Miss Rickson had Miss Kuner’s eyes, she would be a good-looking girl.” That little speech sounds familiar, and I turn and see my old friend, “Tabby” Talbott, talking to Perry Wells. They have become partners and are hard at work picking out likely young ladies for the Ziegfield Follies. Again upon the street I pass Lucile Smith. I can hardly recognize her slim silhouette. I find that she is working in a pickle factory and by devouring a couple of dozen a day has greatly reduced. I heartily recommend her method. Going to the Petersburg Hospital to visit a sick friend, whom do I see but Lillian Temple as head nurse of that institution. As I walk up the steps, I almost fall over a waterbucket, and looking down I see Rudolph Erichsen scrubbing the floor.

I see Eldridge Simmons standing in the hall with a knife in one hand and a saw in the other. At first I thought that he was a butcher, but recalling his ambition at P. H. S. to become a surgeon, I reconsider and decide that he is practicing surgery rather than butchery. I consider myself very lucky in having seen and heard of all my classmates in so short a time, and it is very gratifying to me to find that so many of them have come back to Petersburg to take up their life work.

Someone was say- ing, “Who-o-.” But, oh, it was only a wise old owl that had flown into the room. “Why, who are you?’’ I asked jokingly. To my surprise, he answered me. “Young fellow,” said that wise old bird, “I know lots more than you think, and here tonight I have flown to tell you what is life ' s store for your school companions.” I readily agreed to listen, although I admit I was somewhat frightened by even imagining an owl speaking, but the old bird was true to his word, and this is what he told : Your classmate, Virginia Andrews, has become such a won- derful governess that she receives her Mrs. degree. There is one by the name of Charles Nunnally, who has been a good-natured fellow. Well, he is going to become instructor in public speaking at the Petersburg High School, a place which will always keep him on his feet. The students of the future will not have to worry about what kind of food they will be served, for Virginia Cousins and Grace Ellis will have charge of the cafeteria. Lucile Milby is to fill an important calling. She is to be head telephone operator for this city. The High School book store is to have a new proprietor. This is to be Gordon Rennie. Virginia Sutherland is to have charge of one of the High School’s most important branches ; that is the library. Some persons who have to go to the hospital will be thank- ful for their predicament when they learn that Annie Titmus is to be head nurse. Now Muriel Davies, that adorable flapper, had plenty of 58 Clje Roulette llinMllllllllllillillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMIIIMIIMIIIIIIII!llllll!!IIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllinillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIinilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMlllllllllllllllllllllllllllltllllllllllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII practice at school for her profession. She is to be special an- nouncer for radio station J. V. R. A little girl by the name of Margaret Mann is quite a specialist in her line. She is to create a special chewing gum, which has a flavor that lasts and pops easily. One can reduce very effectively while chewing; in fact, she guarantees the loss of four pounds to the one who chews one pack of gum. Rae W ebb will discover a new kind of rouge not being con- tented with the kinds already in existence, as she considers them so unnatural-looking. Rosa Lane, Margaret Severs and Willie Laura Pitchford are to run a cafeteria, whose success is assured as they are to be walking advertisements for their business. David Wice is to be editor of an influencial radical news- paper. James Sutherland is to be hailed the greatest inventor of all times. He is to be the idol of thousands of school boys all over the world, for he is to invent the invisible torpedo, which can be placed in any school room without being seen and will explode as soon as stepped on. x llan Cook is to run for president on the Prohibition Party ticket, and if he runs as well for president as he did on the foot- ball field — well — all the men will be smoking “Camels in a short while. Evelyn Smith, a patron of jazz, will tour the country ac- companied by the celebrated dancing couple, John McClure and Audrey Williams. Clyde Lewis is to be director of Public Safety for Peters- burg. It has been said that ladies have to toe the mark in this world, but Doris Bamber is out for higher things. She is to be a noted tight-wire walker. Edwin Bowman is to be both a minister and an undertaker in the same town. Keep that school girl complexion not with soap but with stay- on-rouge, forty-seven varieties, which is to be the creation of Ci)e Roulette 59 iiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiriiiiiii)iiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiMiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiHMiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiimi:iiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii IIIIIIIIIMIIIIIUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIillinillllllllllliltllMlllllllllllllllllllllllIfnillllllllMIIIMilllllllllMinillinillllllllllllMI Arline Tucker. This is to take the English powdering race by storm. The old owl prophesies that Annie Leigh Jennings is to join a side-show in a circus as the smallest woman in the world. Wonder what will cause the change? Lucile Justice is to be physical directress at P. H. S. She is to have Lula Edmonds as her assistant. Agnes Joyce, Margaret Tucker and Hazel Branch are to operate the Help Yourself” chain of stores. Their executive ability will aid them in making this a success. Catherine Ryland is to be mathematics teacher in Petersburg High School, and probably will have many problems in her life to solve. Well, classmates, this was the last of the sage’s oration. Please don ' t blame me for all of this so: ‘‘Oh, Senior Class, I wish you health, I wish you joy in store, I wish you heaven after death ; What could I wish you more ?’’ Wilmer Robertson.

We, the students of the Senior Class of the Petersburg High School, 1924, being of sound and disposing mind, do herewith make, ordain and publish this, our last will and testament, to-wit : Item I To our principal, Mr. H. D. Wolff, we bequeath one second- hand Ford to replace his velocipede on which he spends most of his energy riding to and from school. Item II To our good-natured English teacher, Mr. H. A. Miller, we leave one box of Luden’s cough drops to ease that everlasting tickling sensation.in his throat. Item III To Mr. James Scott we leave a little watch dog to guard his books, etc., as he is forever losing something. Item IV To Miss Howard and Mr. Weaver we leave free access to Washington Street so they may stroll along together on lovely summer nights. Item V To our charming French teacher, Mr. Freas, we leave some Armstrong heaters to save the necessity of wearing his overcoat in the classroom ; we leave him also a collection-box to gather up the chewing gum in French classes. Item VI To the “Clean-Up Campaign” we leave a pair of field glasses so that when peeping through the keyhole of Miss Bessie Hall’s classroom they may better ascertain the condition of her room. 76 Cbe Roulette iiiniiiiniiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiMiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiMiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiniiiiiiHiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitiiiiiiiiimiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Item VII We give to our History teacher, Miss Sallie Guerrant, the privilege of presiding over an orphan asylum of only boys to pet and humor to her heart ' s content. Item VIII To Mr. “Pinky” Powers we leave one skull cap for him to wear, thus training those lovely locks to lie flat. Item IX To Miss Harris we give a water fountain, with the request that it be placed right at her door, as we wish to save her the trouble of having to go so far to chat with Mr. Freas. Item X To Mr. Pettit we give a carpet sweeper for his classroom, just to encourage him along. Item XI To Miss Walker we leave a book on Etiquette” so she can read a chapter each day to her bookkeeping pupils. Item XII To Miss Sallie Robertson we leave a dumb study hall to take the place of the noisy one we made and to which she had to make a speech each day. Item XIII We leave Miss Browning a “Baby Ben” to avoid borrowing watches during speed classes. Item XIV To “Papa” Stuart we give and bequeath an automatic rapper in order to bring silence without skinning his little knuckles.

Then when each bird begins to sing, And spring’s sweet breezes softly blow, The sweetest music that I know Is played by many birds in spring. The leaves when blowing to and fro, Make forests’ hearts with gladness ring; But songs of birds that we love so, Are sweeter than the chimes that ring; The sweetest music that I know Is played by many birds in spring. ■Willie Laura Pitchford.

Her name is Mrs. Jones-Bateman ? Why, I’ve never heard of the woman before. Well, I suppose I shall have to entertain her during the U. D. C. convention.” This was one end of a telephone conversation between Esther Endicott and a friend of hers, Bess Whitfield. Bess was asking Esther to entertain a U. D. C. delegate to the convention held that year in Norton. Esther had willingly obliged her friend, but imagine her surprise when she learned that this Mrs. Jones-Bateman, one of the delegates, claimed friendship with her. She could not understand it. It was true, she had gone to boarding school in Abingdon about five years before, but if she had visited in Mrs. Jones-Bateman ' s home, certainly five years was not so long a time that she could forget such a visit. She racked her brain to think who this lady could be, but she was just as much puzzled in the end as at first. Well, there was nothing to do but wait and see how things would turn out. Nevertheless, it would be rather interesting, she thought, to see how this would-be “friend” would act. Esther realized she must warn her father and Aunt Martha, her maiden aunt, to be careful in their conversation with the guest. So at dinner that night, she broke the news. “Now, I have no more idea who this Mrs. Jones-Bateman can be,” she said, “than you have, father, but all I ask is that you and Aunt Martha won’t ‘give me away.’ Pretend that I have known her, and we shall get along the best way we can. There will have to be a lot of acting, I guess.” “Esther, Aunt Martha said, “possibly she has gotten you confused with someone else whom she knows.” Yes, that could easily happen,” said Mr. Endicott. Esther, when does your guest arrive? We must send the car to meet her.” 102 Ci )t Roulette i ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 in i ii mi in 1 1 ii iiiii 1 1 1 1 1 1 iiii i iiiiiii 1 1 1 1 ill ii 1 1 1 it i ill 1 1 1 1 1 iiii 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 1 iiii ii 1 1 iiii i iiii ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 it m 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 ■ 1 1 1 ii m 1 1 1 ii ii ii 1 1 1 1 in ii 1 1 ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 m ii iiiiiiiii ii ii ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 n 1 1 1 ii i ii 1 1 1 nun n i min mi 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 “Oh, tomorrow afternoon, and I shall be on pins and needles the whole time she is here.” “We shall help you out, dear, as much as possible,” said Mr. Endicott. Let us now go to the next afternoon, the time of the arrival of the strange guest. Imagine Esther’s feelings as she looked out of the window to see the chauffeur help out of the car a very pompousdooking lady of about fifty, dressed in a purple velvet dress embroidered with huge yellow butterflies, and a large pic- ture hat to match. Esther hurried to the door to welcome her perfectly strange guest. “Why, Esther, my dear girl, I am so glad to see you once more. You are looking just as well as ever,” gushed Mrs. Jones-Bateman, throwing her arms around the perplexed girl and pecking her on the cheek. Esther need not have worried as to what she should say to the lady, for she was not given a chance to speak. Mrs. Jones- Bateman was looking her over from top to toe, and telling her, “You are still just as pretty as ever, and you don’t look a bit older than the last time I saw you.” “I am so glad you think so, Mrs. Jones-Bateman,” Esther re- plied weakly. Every time this “friend” opened her mouth, Esther wondered what in the world was coming next, and how she would answer sensibly. At dinner, the guest completely monopolized the conversation, bringing to mind reminiscences of Esther’s visit with her, of which Esther was absolutely ignorant. She talked fast and ex- citedly, making it difficult for Esther, who was in torture one minute and almost convulsed the next, to say much more than “Is that so?” and “Really?” Aunt Martha once or twice giggled almost audibly, and Esther kicked her vociferously under the table. She felt that that dinner would never end. It seemed that it had lasted through the ages and would continue through eternity. Finally, Cfje Boulette 103 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinmiiiiiiiimiiiii!iiiiiiimiiiiimiiiiiiiHmiimii!iiiniimiiiiitiiii!iiiiii!!imi)iiiiiiiiiiimi iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMii the last course was finished, and the family resignedly escorted their extraordinary guest to the drawing-room. Mrs. Jones-Bateman began then by saying, “Oh, Esther, I forgot to tell you that Mr. Jones-Bateman sent you his dearest love. Of course, you remember how fond of you he was.” “Yes, he seemed to be — er — quite fond of me,” said Esther helplessly, using her imagination. The poor man is just as thin as ever; I suppose, though, it must be natural for him to be so,” sighed Mrs. Jones-Bateman; he hasn’t gained an ounce since you saw him last.” Perhaps he should take less exercise,” said Aunt Martha, coming to Esther’s rescue. “And, oh, Esther, Jennie is still with me.” “Who?” Why, certainly you haven’t forgotten Jennie, my jewel of a cook. She is still with me, and she makes as delicious cherry pies now as those you used to enjoy.” Aunt Martha hid a titter in a slight cough. Esther was in agony for fear she would laugh outright. At this point in the conversation, Mr. Endicott excused him- self to attend a business meeting. Aunt Martha also left the room, leaving poor Esther alone with her old friend.” Soon, peals of laughter were heard from above, and Esther suspected that they issued from Aunt Martha’s room, and she feared hysterics. She could hardly force herself to pay attention to the constant stream of inane conversation issuing from the un- tiring lips of Mrs. Jones-Bateman. But, at this point, she came up with a jerk, for the lady was saying something very strange. Esther, do you know, my dear, the first thing I thought you would ask me would be about Wilfred. Certainly you haven ' t forgotten him.” “Why, no — er, certainly not ; what is he doing now ?” stammered Esther, without having the slightest idea who Wil- fred was. “He is traveling now, and I had a letter from him yester- day, saying he would stop in Norton and come up to call, if it 104 Cl )t IRoulette llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllillllllllMlllllllllllllllllllllillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMiinillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIMtMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIfllllllllllllllltlllllllMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII would be agreeable. And you know, a mother misses her only son so much when he is away a large part of the time.” So Wilfred was Mrs. Jones-Batesman’s son! “I imagine so,” replied Esther. ‘‘He is as deeply in love with you as ever, Esther, although he hasn’t seen you in so long a time.” ‘‘Good heavens,” thought Esther, ‘“this is too much ! I have never seen this Wilfred, and he is deeply in love with me, and is coming to call !” Really? said she aloud, recovering herself; he must come up to dinner with us tomorrow night.” Oh, he would enjoy that so much, dear !” You must be tired now, Mrs. Jones-Bateman, after your long trip,” Esther broke in hurriedly. “I am sure you would like to go to bed.” So Esther breathed a deep sigh of relief after having left her “friend” in the guest-room. She could have peace, at least for a few hours, and then the morrow ! It was almost dinner time, and the butler had just announced Mr. Wilfred Jones-Bateman. Esther’s heart was beating wildly, and her cheeks were sparkling with color. She made a very pretty picture, if she but knew it, as Mrs. Jones-Bateman pre- sented ber to a divinely handsome young man with smooth black hair and deep gray eyes, as “Esther Endicott, your old sweet- heart, Wilfred.” Esther Endicott?” Wilfred asked blankly. He was non- plussed as he looked into the gleaming eyes of this embarrassed young girl who was exactly like another girl, Esther Stafford, to whom he had once been engaged! It was incredible! Two girls with the same given name who were doubles. His mother’s mistake, in believing this girl his former sweetheart, finally dawned on him. He realized Esther ' s embarrassment, and has- tened to explain. 1 hope you will pardon my mother ' s mistake, Miss Endicott.

At the end of the L T . D. C. convention, Mrs. Jones-Bateman returned home, acknowledging that, for once in her life, she had made a mistake. Esther felt that quite a load had been lifted from her shoulders. Wilfred’s business, however, kept him in Norton for several weeks which was ample time for a strong friendship to be formed between him and Esther. It doesn ' t take friendship so very long a time to grow into love. But this story need not explain that. It is necessary to say, however, that Mrs. Jones- Bateman, to her delight, gained an attractive daughter-in-law by her strange mistake. Isabel G.

I gave myself credit for a little sense, but I don ' t believe I had a bit when I did that foolish trick.” The speaker of these mumbled thoughts was a man of well-kept appearance. He had the air and style of a well-to-do man, for Paul Ramus was a very rich banker. The foolish trick that he was mentally blaming himself for was the adoption of a boy and girl ten years previous to this time. He blamed himself always for it ; sometimes he even swore he was drunk at the time. He was wealthy enough to support them well, that didn’t bother him. It was the eternal nuisance of being bothered with a lazy cake-eater and a modern flapper. The two young people well represented the names applied to them. To the world they were John and Elizabeth Andrews, penniless orphans until adopted by Ramus. It was not known, however, that they were the children of a once famous electric chair victim. This fact was known not even by Ramus. Neither knew the temperament of the other and firmly believed in the other’s goodness. It may be said to the credit of Elizabeth that, unlike most young women of the time, she was a good cook. She was really a specialist in the art of cooking mushrooms, the dish that so delighted the palate of her adopted uncle. Neither she nor her brother cared for the dish, but it was Ramus ' s favorite. Knowing that on the death of her uncle, all his property would come to her brother and herself, a wild plan entered her head. The next time Paul Ramus delightedly drew his chair up to the table to enjoy his favorite dish he little suspected that there was one deadly amanita mescaria concealed there. An old saying reads, “Great minds run in the same direction.” In this case the substitution of the word fiendish for great would be suitable. It was easy for John, an acquaintance of the lowest of all 108 Clje Roulette iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii mortal beings, a drug-taking, drug-selling doctor, to get a pre- scription reading : V Atropinae Sulphatis O x ' ' ’- Ext. Dr. M. C. James. Knowing that his uncle always brushed his teeth after meals, he placed a few of the crystals in Ramus’s tooth-paste. Psychologists state that the mental pain which follows a first crime is almost unbearable. This may account for the fol- lowing happenings. After eating a good dinner and cleaning his teeth well, Ramus entered the kitchen. There upon the floor lay Elizabeth, the victim of her own mushrooms. “John ! John !’’ The cry rang through the house, but no answer came. “How can I tell him? It’s awful!’’ Taking the steps three at a time Ramus reached John’s room to find the young man stretched across the bed with an empty pill-box in his hand. At the double funeral several days after the suicides, no one paid the slightest attention to an old man with a sad but kindly look, who owed his life to the fact that atropine and muscarine, the alkaloid in the deadly fungus, are counter poisons, and to his good habit of cleaning his teeth after meals.

He shipped a crew and a mate or two, And headed down the bay, But young Sebastian Cabot Black Now rues that fateful day. He steered ’er round the Cape o’ Cheer, And headed for the sea, But doomed was he to meet his fate, Far from a peaceful lea. The wind was blowin’ ’alf a gale, And the craft, she pitched and tossed, And young Sebastian Cabot Black Knew his ship was lost. He reefed the sails, and kept his course, But the wind, and waves, and rain Was more than he could overcome, ’Tho he fought with might and main. At last, he headed for a port, But the dreaded deed was done, And now a derelict, on the rocks, Shows where the weather won.

In the space of the twenty-three years which comprised his life, he had come across many obstacles, which he had successfully crossed, many difficult jobs, which he had tackled with vim and vigor. Now, he found a task which he could not possibly perform, and he was ashamed. At college, he had been a star football player, a player of which the crowd was proud, and a credit to his school. He had never been a coward, and believed himself to be a “manly man.” But now he realized he was not a man, not fit to be called by that name. Why? Because he could not fill a man ' s duty — he simply could not propose ! Propose ! the very word rang like thunder in his ears. Of course, he loved her, loved her with all his heart. She was his dream- girl, his ideal, this Priscilla Kent. Her blue eves were like beau- tiful pools, her mouth like a gorgeous rosebud, and her golden tresses a fitting crown to her dainty self. Of course, the ad- jectives are Dick ' s own. He wrote poems to her only to tear them into shreds; letters of proposal, only to burn them. Tonight, he had a date with Priscilla, and for the third time this week he was going to attempt to propose. His efforts thus far had been a total failure. He had failed, utterly failed ! To- night, looking in the mirror while fixing his tie, he surveyed him- self. He was not handsome, but he had a fine, clear-cut face, and was quite as good-looking as the rest of the fellows in his crowd. He believed Priscilla loved him, and would accept his proposal when — when He glanced at the picture he had of her, and worshipped at this shrine. If she were only there then, he felt he could utter phrases as flowery and passionate as any lover. Well he knew that his nerve would be gone as soon as he was near her. Dick had confided his shortcomings to John A. Prentiss, his pal, only € e Roulette 111 iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiMniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiim(iiiiiiiiuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIllllllllllMlllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllltlllllllllllllllllllllMIIIIIIIMIIIIItllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllMllllllllllllllllllllt last night. John was a hne chap, and Dick knew he would propose quite naturally when the right girl came along. John laughed at him, tried to instruct him in what to say, and promised he would do anything in his power to help his friend. John left him with the promise to call him up, if he found a unique way to put the thing across. But Dick had not heard from him; really, he had not expected to, but he had hoped John might find a way to make the path easier for him. Still he was not the only one who had stumbled over this path. He often thought of Miles Standish and how much they had in common. He was only partially consoled, though, in knowing that better men than he had blundered. He had not the slightest doubt that he and Miles Standish were distantly related, and how he cursed the fact ! When he was dressed and ready to go, he placed Priscilla’s picture on the table, and began to rehearse what he should say. “Gee !” he exclaimed, “I have it !” Seizing a box of candy lying on the table he read: “Say it with candy!” “That is just what 1 will do. How simple of me not to have thought of it before. I will go in, and as I give her the candy, I will say to her, ‘Darl- ing, sweets to the sweet, so I will say it with candy. My life would be bitter, indeed, without you.’ Why, that’s great ! What wouldn’t Miles Standish have given to have composed that.” Dick decided to walk to Priscilla ' s, thinking the night air might help to cool his heated brain. He took the longest way there, and yet wondered why he was delaying a minute when he had such a speech prepared. Then he began to think, a bad sign, indeed, for Dick, because he became confused as soon as he started to do such a thing. “Suppose,” he muttered, “I forget and get the ‘bitter’ part mixed with the ‘sweets’.” In great agony at the thought of such an error, he burst into a perspira- tion. He was noted for getting things twisted, and this thought made him look back to last Easter. He had sent Priscilla a bouquet of orchids, and had gone to see her that night. He had intended to propose even then and wished to start out with that old sweet saying : 112 Cf )t Uoulette iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiMiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiii IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIilllll(lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll Roses are red, Violets are blue, Sugar is sweet And so are you.” Of course, this sounds absurd for a lover, but Dick thought it beautiful and quite appropriate for Easter. Even then he stammered, hesitated, and blurted out a parody he had once heard : Roses are red, Violets are blue, But they’re too d — expensive To send to you.” At this minute Dick stopped thinking — it really was too piti- fully painful. At any rate, he was at his destination, and he walked up the steps and rang the bell with the appearance of a martyr. He seemed in a trance. He saw the maid open the door, and his feet carried him inside, wholly without his consent. As often as he had come, he had never felt quite like this. Priscilla came down the steps with her cheery greeting of “Hello, Dick ! Glad to see you.” Dick mumbled something that seemed very much like, “Glad you’re glad,” and handed her the candy. Priscilla seemed more demure tonight than ever, and the whole time she was unwrapping the candy seemed to be wanting to say something and relieve her mind, but she couldn ' t. So she said to herself, I ' ll let him mention it.” Dick realized this was the opportune time for his flowery speech, but his dry lips would, under no amount of coaxing, utter any such phrases ; they were too accustomed to comments on the weather. At 10:45 he made a move to go, but Priscilla said in a very sweet and low voice, Dick, I received your letter this morning. I would have mentioned it before, but I thought you would. I suppose it was my place to do so. Dick, you must have known my answer would be ‘yes.’ I have always loved you.” Cbe Eoulette U3 mu mi uni hi mu mi Dick’s brain was in a whirl. Surely, he was dreaming. No — he felt Priscilla ' s soft hand on his. What letter? He must see it. Until then he must seize this opportunity. So he said, “How could I know, darling? I am so unworthy of your love. I can say nothing except that I love you dearly. May I see the letter? I was in such a state of love when I wrote it, I hardly remember what 1 said. Did I express myself well ?” “Did you, Dick? Why, I could hardly believe you wrote it. It is beautiful, Dick, and I shall always save and cherish it, even after we are married.” She handed the letter over to him, and bewildered he read it. The letter was a proposal by a passionate lover, with all the sweetest and tenderest of phrases. It did not take Dick long to guess who wrote it. They were the very phrases John Prentiss had used in his room the night before in instructing Dick. Dear old John, he had saved the day, and won for Dick his Priscilla. No longer did he doubt what John’s middle initial stood for; to Dick, at least, he should always be John Alden Prentiss. Dreamily, with his hand clasped in Priscilla’s, he said, “What a pity Miles Standish did not have a John Alden such as I.” Priscilla did not understand, but nodded, too bappy to speak. Edith E.

It haunted me Until I saw the dawn make shadows flee. And oft I thought that as from a bird in flight It softly dropped to me and changed my sight; My troubles and my worries ceased to be, And nothing stayed but the simple melody That gently fell from the blue and shadowy height. So are we changed from moods and from despairs, So are we altered by a breath of wind.

Advice to the Seniors By Anita Gibson My dear Miss Gibson : I’ve heard of your wonderful advice, and I, too, am coming for help. Miss Gibson, I am afraid I’ll get too fat. It is so hard not to eat, but I ' ll try even that, if necessary. What can I do to get real thin? Sincerely, Margaret Mann. My Dear Child: This is not in my line. Better see a beauty specialist. Dear Miss Gibson : I am a senior in P. H. S. and I am coming to you for advice. I get up so late in the mornings that I have only a short time to make up. The rouge I use smears so that I look a perfect fright. What kind would you advise me using? Catherine Moorman. I never use this so-called rouge — but have you tried the orange rouge? Some people look perfect frights with or without it. Try not using any for a while. 118 Cfce Roulette 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 m 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 m • 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 : 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 • 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 • ii 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 nTTnTrm inn mm rrn rn ■ ■ m 1 1 a 1 1 1 1 1 1 fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillliiiiiiiiiiiJiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiilliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiililiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Dear Miss Gibson : I’ve read your letters from the Seniors and I want to give my advice to one of your correspondents. To those who would reduce : 1. Roll 500 times every night. 2. A high dive daily in the bath tub. (Be very careful, as this is considered a bit dangerous.) 3. Kick to the ceiling five times a night. (Pad the floor in case you fall.) 4. Do not eat any sweets. (Avoid especially chocolate pie.) I hope my advice may help some of the stout students. Sincerely, Willie Laura Pitchford. Thank you.

Although for years they watch and pray, And fix their hair in many a way, The young men all pass by the gate And fail to grab the proffered bait, Too late they learned to not say nay, Those two old maids. — Eldridge Simmons. 128 Cfte Houlette •iiiiiiiiiiililiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliilii:iiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiililiiiiiiiiiiliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiliiliililiilillllllllllllilillllllllllllllllllllllligillllllllllllllllllli l iilliiui l i tllllll I ■ 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 II 1 1 1 1 1 ( 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 i 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Illllllllt Is It Possible For — Eldridge Simmons to have a “date ?
