T. NEFF, JR. A. B.

He always seems keenly interested in our activities and never fails to give his loyal support. Page four lwll SUPERVISING PRINCIPAL J. C. RHODES B. S. in Ec. University of Pittsburgh Always Willing to advise and help if the project seems a reasonable or credible one, Mr. Rhodes has become a staunch friend to us all. Especial- ly did we come to realize his worth when it came to putting out 'h'is, for he is our faculty advisor. Page ffve IMI MISS MILDRED SUTER A. B. Goucher College M. A. Columbia University In spite of the fact that Miss Suter has been with us only two years, she has none the less become a great friend among the pupils in our high school. Miss Suter has always been Willing to aid us throughout the year and has proved to be a Very capable teacher. Page :ix real MR. G. T. KNODE A. B. West Virginia University Since his entrance in our school as a member of the faculty, Mr. Knode has performed efficiently his work as a science teacher. He takes an in- terest in all our activities, but especially in our Boys' Basket Ball Team. Page :even liisll l MISS LORETTA MILTENBERGER Mountain State Business College Commercial Department, Ursuline Academy It is due in a great extent to the efforts put forth by Miss Miltenberg- er that our school has been able to offer a complete commercial course. Al- though many in the school have no classes with Miss Miltenberger, she has become popular with the whole student body. Page eiyht leur MISS ALMA BURNWORTH A. B. Western Maryland College Being the only teacher left in our faculty who was present when the class of '25 entered Piedmont High School, there has naturally sprung up between us a. sympathy which has lasted for four years and which we sin- cerely hope will continue even after We have left school.

KALBAUGH THOMAS HEATLEY To have an efficient Board of Education, one Whose assistance and co- operation With both teachers and pupils may be greatly appreciated, is one of the first essentials a high school or any school may require. We should consider ourselves fortunate, indeed, in having such a school board as We now possess, the members having greatly aided us in our efforts to put forth our best in school Work, as well as in other activities. We wish to express our gratitude for the time and labor these men have spent in considering the best things for our welfare and happiness.

Nevertheless, basket ball is not the only thing Norman can do well, as he has several times shown us.

Oh, what a gilorious feeling it is to be a senior. At last we have reached the ideal towards which we have been plodding. In our four years of high school life there have been many things which, looked back upon, result in pleasant memories. The class of 25's high school career has been a pleasant one and it is only with regret that we are leaving it. There are pals', and sweethearts and teachers, loved and associated with our greatest dreams. Yet we must leave them, cease to lean upon them for encouragement and ins-piring words, and provide our own initiative, boost our spirit along alone, learn by our own mistakes, at last to come through life's journey scathed, but able to look back on a world better than we found it. Emotions crowd upon us, sorrow, gladness tears, and laughter. Back of them all looms a joy, the joy of accomplish- ment, of work well done, of a goal reached. Sb, we say our farewell to old P. H. S. May God give you the best, may your teachers enjoy to the fullest 1ife's richest blessings, and last in this hour of good-byes, old school, keep that clean, fighting spirit-the spir- it that fights to the end. Jfarztnell Now all our lessons soon will end, And we will join our closing song Ere we part, until the morning Will bring again our happy throng. ENID oURs '26 Our school days soon will be over, Let's each one work with anxious care, For the swiftly coming future, Every one of us must prepare. All the life that is before us, May depend on what. we now dog In these years of our high school life, Let us all to ourselves be true. RUTH TURNER '25 Page twenty wav .

T. Neff, Jr. President, Horace Richards Secretary-Treasurer, Evers Smith Class Colors, Pink and Green Class Flower, Pink Rose Bud Class Motto, Climb Though the Path be Rugged. The C. T. Neff Class first entered Piedmont High School in September, 1922. The main event in our Freshman vear was the initiation, at which we were given a very warm f?J reception by the Seniors and other upfper classmen. After this ceremony we again breathed freely and settled down to work. The next year when we climbed the stairs of Piedmont High School we were known as Sophomores. We had passed the green stage into a mild- er one. It was then our turn to look down on the Freshies. But we soon found we had to work as well as play, so we settled down and studied long and hard. But there was one fact to mar our happiness. This was the ab- sence of two of our most prominent members. who had died the summer previous to our Sophomore year. They will always be remembered by the C. T. Neff Class of '2'6. The next fall we came back to P. H. S. as Juniors. Shortly afterward a meeting was held for the purwpose of electing officers, and the results were as follows: President, Horace Richards, secretary-treasurer, Evers Smith. At the beginning of November the Juniors began acting very myster- iously, and much whispering was done. Finally, the climax came when November 21 was the date set for the Junior Fair. Every Junior was as busy as a bee. At last the big night arrived and every J unior's heart was all a flutter. The gymnasium was a regular fairyland with its mystic booth and fortune telling tent. Everyone ate to his heart's content and when one became thirsty he had just to step across the way and wet his whistle with some good old cider. The Fair was pronounced a big success and the Juniors fin- ally settled down again to the regular routine of work. Although the Junior Class cannot boast of being a very brilliant class, many of the members play a prominent part in the athletic field, and we have great hopes of making Piedmont High School proud of us. We are all looking forward to our Senior year with great exlpectations. KATHERINE CRAJWFOWRD '26 Page twenty-four wal ml fixup 1 I I , SUFH FHURE HC i Q 1 Q i Q Aqll Page tfweniy-ffve imma .

Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong. The school bell slowly rang out that me- morable Monday morning in September, 1923. Is this where we go ? calls a voice at the head of a long line coming up the steps. 'Tm going to sit here, calls another voice. Is that the superintendent ? comes from the rear of the line. And we made our first appearance in the best school in the country, P. H. S. We fully expected to be praised and petted, but instead we were criti- cized and treated very mean Cwe thought! This naturally hurt our dig- nity, but we put our pride in our pockets and announced that we would con- duct a meeting of the class. Well, such a meeting! But we finally got enough order to elect our sponsor and officers, and to select a class flower. colors and motto. Our officers took their places and ruled over us with su- preme power. You should hear Bus says: The meeting will please come to order. The upper classmen decided to give a reception in our honor. This took place Friday, September 21, 1923. We entered the high school that night Very proud and dignified, to think that the upper classmen knew that we still existed. But after being taken through the Chamber of Horror and The Nauseating Odor, we lost all our pride and dignity and felt quite humble. We gave a reception at the close of the school term for our sponsor, Mr. J. C. Rhodes. We worked very hard to make it a success, and we surely succeeded. It took place in Laughlin's hall, which was trimmed in blue and gold, our class colors. We entered high school this year as Sophomores. We had become ac- quainted with teachers, upper classmen and high school ways last year so we had no trouble in making ourselves comfortable. Our only regret was that the class of '24 was not with us again this year. During this year we have participated in all the activities of P. H. S., such as literary programs, basket ball, lessons and pranks. A good many of our girls are on the first basket ball team. Many members of our class have shown remarkable ability in literary programs. At the end of the first semester we stood next to the honorable Juniors with an average of 78 7-33 per cent. Our Sophomore year has been a most successful one, being filled with the joys and sorrows, laughs and frowns, hard work and play of high school life. We are now looking forward to our Junior year with much ambition and many expectations, hoping that it will prove to be as successful as this year. MARY K.

The Freshmen began their high school career in Septbmber. We were rather a timid group, fearing to turn around because we thought some of the upper classmen were Watching us. The first real thing we began to dread was the greenies reception, which would initiate us into the mysteries of Piedmont High School. The members of the class are equally divided between the Yorkist and Lancastrian Literary Societies. The girls and boys have basket ball teams. Though We are not champions, yet We hope to be in the near future. In adding up the good and bad we find that the Freshman Class is enjoying a pleasant and profitable year as the beginning of our high school career.

N. Jenkins, director What is that sweet confusion of sound which I hear floating from that room ? 'Tis only the P. H. S. orchestra getting ready to give us one of its su- perior selections, was the answer. By listening to things that were not meant for our hearing powers, We found that the talent and ability in the orchestra is actually appreciated by the mass. Without jesting, the orchestra, the first in several years, has really turned out to be successful. This is probably due to our leader, Mr. Bud Jenkins, who is always willing to help in anything connected with music. The musician has often been shocked by our inconsistencies in read- ing and playing music, but altogether Mr. Jenkins has helped us without many accidents and fatalities? ? 'Z ? The orchestra and all those who are connected with it wish to thank Mr. Jenkins and to show our appreciation for what he has done for Piedmont High School in organizing the orchestra. From the first an orchestra should have been one of the traditions of P. H. S. It has not been, but we shall hope for its continuation in the future. In previous years much has been done toward organizing an orchestra, but not enough vim was put behind it. With the co-operation given this year one would probably be safe in saying that the orchestra has fulfilled every one's expectations.

Not only have our teachers been very kind in urging such a project, but the parents also deserve the student body's appreciation for the efficiency of the work that has been done. The programs presented by the various -classes have been instructive and have aided greatly in increasing the good feeling between the parents and teach- ers of this community. Since this new association has proved to be a suc- cess this year, we feel quite sure that it is worthy of becoming an establish- ed organization for our school.

The first game was played the next morning at 9:30 o'clock. We drew for this game Pine Grove High School from south- ern West Virginia. As this was the first game of the tour nament, natur- ally, it was slow, neither of the teams being accustomed to the large floor and the glass back boards. For the first six or seven minutes neither side made a point, but as the game grew on, Pine ,Grove scored 9 points to Pied- mont's 4, this ending the half. The second half, Piedmont fought harder but luck was against them, losing by a score of 16-12. The line-up was as follows: P. H. S.

Hal The Tournament P A sectional tournament was held in Keyser this year by the Potomac State School. Nine teams were represented. This is the first time this has been done, the teams formerly playing at Buckhannon. The state was di- vided into eight districts, with a number of teams playing in each district. Then the runners up and the winners in Division A and ll were to go to Buckhannon and play for the state championship in class A and B. The winners in the two classes represent the state in the National Tournament held in Chicago. Mr. Grimes acted as director of the sectional tournament and Lieut. Harman, Mr. Nefflen and Coach Parrish were the officials of the game. This tournament proved a great success. Piedmont played the first game in the night session on Friday, March 6, the game being played with Petersburg High School. This was an easy victory for Piedmont, as we got a large lead and held it throughout the game. The final score was 37-7. The lineup was as follows: P. H. S. 1371 P. H. S.

The next game Piedmont played in the sectional tournament was with Keyser High School, but it did not turn out like the first game, as Keyser won 42-17. The first quarter Piedmont held Keyser to a score, but the sec- ond quarter Keyser forged ahead and lead at the half. The second half Piedmont fell behind and Keyser was safe from then on,winning by a 42L17 SCOT6. The third game of the sectional tournament for Piedmont High School was played with Parsons High School, it being one of the best games of the tournament. The game started off with a bang, Piedmont scoring the first field goal, and then Parsons shot several two pointers and forged ahead. The half ended 20-10, in favor of Parsons. During the halves Coach Knode took his team to the dressing room and gave them a good talking, telling them that the trip to Buckhannon depended upon this game. The second half Page sixty If it-1 rl started off in a new way for Piedmont. The boys, determining to win, started off in a new form, overtaking the large lead that Parsons had over them and finally forging ahead and in an exciting finish, won by the score of 34-33. The lineup was as follows: P. H. S. 1341 Parsons 1331 Jenkins F Freeman Holland F Butcher Smith C Goff Richards G Grey Crist G Gatrelle Summary: Field Goals-Jenkins 7, Holland 2, Smith 1, Baldwin 1, Richards 1, Freeman 8, Fisher 2, Butcher 1. The fourth game for Piedmont in the sectional tournament was with Martinsburg High School for the championship in class B of the section of Eastern Panhandle. This was considered by the officials the best game played during the tournament. It was a real thriller from the beginning to the end, both teams fighting and neither team giving up until the final whis- tle blew. The score at the half shows what a fast and close game it was, the half ending 16-15 in favor of Piedmont. After the second half the game stood 36-36. The next five minutes of play was a period of excitement for the Piedmont fans who had faithfully followed their team to the tourna- ment. The five minute period got off with a rush, both teams eager for the point which would win the game for them. Both teams fought hard, but Martinsburg won by a lone field goal, shot from the middle of the court by a forward of their team, this goal winning the cup and the class B champion- ship of the Eastern Panhandle. Of course, this was a hard game for Pied- mont to lose, but be'nfr assured of a trip to Buokhannon they were half sat- isfied and determined to do their best at the state tournament to beheld on March 20 and 21.

The first half ended 5-0 in favor of Bruce High School. The second half was more exciting, ending with a score of 24-12 in favor of Bruce High School.

Ding, dong, ding, dong, called the bell at the top of the P. H. S. building, and we came trooping to school. Such a time! With the mad rush of greeting old friends and finding suitable desks it was hard to hear Mr. Rhodes shouting for order. ' At last all of us became settled except the Freshmen, who were still excitedly scrambling around in an effort to make themselves noticeable to the older members of the high school. After a few more struggles Mr. Rhodes managed to get them quieted down in order to give us a few words of greeting. As we listened to him we suddenly realized that a new teacher was sitting on the platform. He was introduced to us as Mr. Knode, the new science teacher. Naturally, we were much excited over the new addition to the faculty and he was discussed in glowing terms. As usual we then signed up for our courses and were allowed to go home. October 3. Our first speaker of the year was the new pastor of the Presbyterian Church, Rev. William B. Gold. As this was Mr. Gold's first appearance in P. H. S., we waited with much interest for him to begin his talk. After the song, reading of the Bible and prayer by Mr. Rhodes, Mr. Gold was introduced to us. He told us he was going to talk on an unusual subj ect, The End is Bet- ter Than the Beginning. We immediately became interested. After he had discussed the subject and given many illustrative examples, we also came to the conclusion that The End is Better Than the Beginning. October 10. The Senior Class certainly was proud when Mr. Rhodes told us that each class was to take charge of chapel at different times and that he was going to let us set the example by giving us the privilege of hav4 ing the first appearance. Of course we wanted to make a good impression, so we put on some of our most brilliant members. The program follows: Song - - - ---- Assembly Reading of the Bible - Debbie Ord Talk on Tris - - - John Crist Piano Solo - - ---- Enid Ours Talk on Basket Ball - - - - Norman Jenkins Saxophone Duet - - John Crist and Clyde Marker Talk on Literary Society - - - Mary Powers Vocal Solo - - - - - - Pauline Tucci Page sixty-jifve lea School Paper - - - - Enid Ours Violin Solo ------ Marguerite Johnson The march was then played by Debbie Ord and we marched as usual to our class rooms. November 10. Sarah Crist came running in the Assembly Hall all out of breath and excitedly declared that there was a speaker in the office. Of course everyone rushed to the door to investigate and sure enough there was. We all had fidgets until Mr. Rhodes brought the stranger in and introduced him to us as Dr. Best, of Baltimore, Md. After all formalties were over Dr. Best announced that the subject of his talk was Cleanliness Cleanliness of mind and body, he explained. He then proceeded to tell us just what this cleanliness was and what bene- fit it would be to us in the future as well as in the present. When Dr. Best finished speaking we were all convinced of the truth of his statement and also sorry to see him go. November 17. On this morning the Juniors were given the honor of presenting the program for chapel. They are to be complimented on their ability to make up such a good program. We were expecting a great deal from the energetic Junior Class and they fulfilled our expectations. The program was as follows: Song -------- Assembly Reading of the Bible - Grace Walker Piano Solo - - - Catherine Crawford Violin Solo - - - - Horace Richards Talk on Junior Fair - - - - Grace Knott Talk on Education Week - Elsa Harman Talk on Constitution Week - - Erma Turner Reading ---- Sue Fredlock Talk on Basket Ball - Evers Smith Vocal Solo - - - Harold Kight School Paper - - Nellie Keplinfer March, played by ----- 'Catherine Crawford November 24. Everyone was very much excited when the Whisper went around that our new high school orchestra was going to play this morning. We glanced over in one corner of the room and saw a number of queer looking things which later turned out to be the instruments of the various orchestra members. Page sixty-six df la as Nine o'clock came and the orchestra took its place while we waited in expectant silence. Mr. Rhodes gave a few comments and then announced that the orchestra would play a selection for us. The music was received with great applause. We all feel that Mr. Jenkins is to be complimented on the way he has developed the orchestra. December 8. The time came for the Sophomores to take charge of chapel and they presented to us the following program: Song ------- - Assembly Reading of the Bible ---- Mary H. Spencer Anecdote - - - Elvin Adams Song - - - - - Assembly . Story - - ---- Lorna Cole Musical Reading - Ida Baker and Eva Abramson Recitation ------ Beatrice Anderson I Song -------- Assembly The Sophomores give indications of a great deal of talent. Jan. 5. Back in school again after two weeks' Christmas vacation. One would thing that we were old friends who hadn't seen each other for years, by our manner of greeting. Nine o'clock came and we went to our respective desks to await further results. Mr. Neff then announced that he had something to say to us. He then talked to us on the necessity of taking a greater interest in our school activities and studies. The explanations he gave for these needs aroused us to make resolutions to overcome our difficulties. January 26. The time came for the Freshmen to take charge of chap- el and on this morning we heard the following program: Song ..-- ---- A ssembly Reading of the Bible - - - Nellie White Recitation - - - Lorraine Coddington Piano Solo - - - Vivian Baldwin Song - - - ---- Assembly Anecdote ------- Annie Butler Horace Richards then told us about the happenings to the girls and boys on their basket ball trips to Davis and Thomas. He told those things in an amusing manner, causing much merriment. February 2. Everyone was excited after Mary Powers ran into the assembly hall and declared that there was a speaker in the office. We did Page .sixty-.sewn em have a speaker and it proved to be our old friend, Mr. Spencer. We were very glad to see him, because it was the first visit he had paid us this year. After the usual chapel exercises Mr. Spencer announced his subject, which was: What are you going to do with your life ? As this subject is of importance and interest to every high school lpufpil we listened atten- tively to the advice which Mr. Spencer gave us. He told us of the difficulties that we would have to meet and overcome, and also the best way in which to overcome them. To make his meaning clearer, he told us of several instances which he knew about and proved to us that it was not always the five talent person who made the greatest name for himself. Mr. Spencer's talk proved to be an inspiration, help and guide to all of us. February 9. On this Monday morning we had as a speaker, Rev. Par- rish, pastor of the Franklin Street Church, Baltimore, Md. Rev. Parrish spoke to us on the subject of Our Apartment House, ' or our mind. He told us of the intricate workings of our mind and the mys- try of how we are able to remember. He gave us several instances which showed to us just how rapidly our minds work. Rev. Parrish's talk was interesting, instructive and was enjoyed very much by the assembly. February 16. Mr. Rhodes surprised us this morning by giving us an unusually long speech-for him. He talked on the qualities and characteristics of Abraham Lincoln and how we could apfply these to ourselves in our own daily lives. He told us how A.braham Lincoln often went out of his way to do some kindness for another. Mr. Rhodes proved to us more forcefully than ever just what a great man Abraham Lincoln was. February 23. The Seniors again presented the program for chapel, which was as follows: Song ----- Star Spangled Banner Reading of the Bible - - - - Ethel White Early Life of George Washington - - Marie Walsh Military Life of George Washington Marguerite Johnson George Washington as our President - - Sarah Crist His Later Life ------ Debbie Ord Saxophone Duet - - - John Crist and Clyde Marker Song ------- - America As George Washington's birthday was celebrated on this day we gave the program in his honor. Page sixty-eight li-'SI sl March 9. On this morning Mr. Neff spoke to us about habits, both good and bad. He selected three, worry, selfishness and quitting, as the worst. As an example of worry he told us about Napoleon Bonaparte, who never let anything bother him, not even his most critical battles. In the second bad habit Mr. Wrigley was used as a example. VVhen Mr. Wrigley first began in life he sold shoe strings and he conceived the idea of giving a stick of chewing gum with each pair of strings. In discussing quitting Mr. Wrigley was again used as an example. Mr. Neff told how Mr. Wrigley made and lost two fortunes before he finally achieved fame. The three habits named were independent thought, courage and faith. The first can be used in our everyday school life as well as later. It takes the courage of a pugilist to get us through life because we know that life is made up of hard knocks. To illustrate the third good habit Mr. Neff told of a young man work- ing in the patent office who gave up his position because he thought that everything had been invented that could be. March 16. This morning we were all excited because we were going to have a speaker for chapel. The speaker proved to be Reverend Marsh, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. As this was Mr. Marsh's first visit to P. H. S., we were very desirous of hearing him. He spoke to us on the physical, moral and intellectual aspects of life. He illustrated his talk with many interesting examples, which drew the at- tention of the assembly. We were all sorry when Mr. Marsh ended his talk, because it was so in- teresting. We hope to have him with us again very soon. March 23. The Juniors again had charge of the chapel program, but as it was exam.ination week the exercises were brief. Song -------- Assembly Reading of the Bible ----- Nellie Keplinger Prayer -------- Assembly The program was concluded by Horace Richards.. who told of the ex- periences of the basket ball team on the trip to Buckhannon. March 30. We were all very much pleased when Reverend Gold ap- peared. His subject was very appropriate. It was Vision or Ideals, and to illustrate his first point he told us of the seven wonders of the world, both ancient and modern. He told us how it was necessary to have a vision in order that these things might be produced. He also pointed out the dif- ference between the ancient wonders of the world and the modern ones. He also talked to us on Service, and how to serve, mentioning some of the great men who had already served their country. To illustrate his point he told us the story of the Great Stone Face. Page .vixly-nine Eli rl The Junior Fair It was on November 21, 1925, that the annual Junior Fair took place in the high school gymnasium. For one week the Juniors settled down to real, hard, honest-to-goodness work. When this happened, of course, everyone knew that a great treat was in store and awaited with no little impatience the arrival of the big night. When finally the night arrived for the big event to take place, large crowds hurried to the gym to see what the Juniors had done. All expec- tations were realized and were surpassed at sight of the good old gym, The class colors, pink and green, furnished the color scheme. The large booths, all decorated, were laden with various good things to eat and drink, devices for making noise and with everything needed for a good time. Har- old Kight's hot-dog stand was especially popular. Percy showed the crowd how expertly he can cook weenies. fKeep it up, Harold.J When, all to soon, the time came to leave, it was with great reluctance that the crowd departed. The next day our dear Juniors were back in their old ways, but we all knew that when the time comes for another event to take place the class of '26 will work and put it over just as successfully as the fair was handled. Law Class Visits Keyser Miss Miltenberger took her Commercial Law class to Keyser Monday, March 23, 1925. The purpose of this trip was to visit the court, hear a trial, and see just how court trials are conducted. The class saw and heard much that was of interest, and Miss Miltenberger feels that each member will be benefited by this visit. She had only one worry on this trip. That was keeping her wary eye on Marie Walsh, who insisted upon flirting with the jurymen and creating a general disturbance among that would-be staid group. , The Juniors Entertain The members of the boys' and girls' basket ball teams of Piedmont High School, the boys of the team from St. Johns Academy, Petersburg, W. Va., and the girls from Norton, W. Va., were delightfully entertained by the Junior class at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Horace Hill, Westernport, Fri- day evening, Feburary 27. Games and music served as amusement, Horace Richards and Grace Walker acting as directors of ceremonies. When it began to grow late many good things to eat were served. Af- ter the eats were all gone, everybody decided that it was time to go home and proceeded to do so, feeling that it had been an evening well spent. Page .twenty , lei- rl The Party at Davis On Friday night, March 23, after a basket ball game at Davis, W. Va., Miss Maud Weimer, of that place, entertained the boys and girls teams from Piedmont High School. As it was one of those last minute parties and there were no definite plans to be followed for amusement, everyone was turned loose to find any diversion which might possibly be had. This arrangement seemed to please the crowd, for it was not long before everyone had found some means of whiling away the time. Refreshments were served at an early hour, as the Piedmont boys had to retire early because of a stiff game which was to be played the follow- ing night, and the hostess was considerate enough to understand that the boys, especially Melvin and Bubbles, would not like to leave without hav- ing consumed a goodly portion of the goodies. The party was unanimously voted a success and the crowd left, each one Wishing the other a cheerful good-night. The Junior Prom The annual Junior Prom was celebrated on Monday, May 226, 1924, when the Juniors took the Seniors to Burlington, where a big feed was indulged in. At exactly seven o'clock the party left Piedmont in automo- biles and about half past eight reached Burlington. A chicken supper was served immediately upon reaching the Old Home- stead. When the meal was announced, the Seniors, who were a rowdy crowd, made a grand rush for the dining room, upsetting several chairs and also a well arranged program. The latter circumstance, however, was not regret- ted by the Juniors, who considered themselves lucky dogs at getting out of it so easily. Even the committee's welcome speech was nipvped in the bud, to the delight of the said committee. ' When the ravenous appetites of the party had been aplpeased and the dining hall was at last deserted, the crowd divided. Some roamed about the grounds, others rode Kiddie Kars, while the rest of the crowd danced. At an early hour Mr. Neff gave the signal to start home. After a great deal of bustling we were finally ensconced in cars and the homeward journey began. Upon reaching Piedmont the crowd was mustered out, each one to his respective home and each one feeling that another fine time had been added to his list. ' The Freshman Reception Friday, September 20, what was the cause of the unusual restlessness in the high school, especially among the Freshies ? Ah, I have it. The annual Freshman reception was booked for that night. No wonder the Page :evenly-one M em Freshmen feel a bit shaky on the day before the big event is pulled off. The girls of the upper class have charge of the initiation of the Fresh- m.en girls, while the boys of the upper classes managed to make things live- ly for the boys of the Freshman class. However, the ceremony is never as bad as the new-comers are made to believe it will be. Of course, it was very mortifying for Geraldine Harvey to be forced to tell us all about her love affairs, and it was also very dis- heartening for Eula Freeman to be forbidden to wear red on this occasion, when she expected to break all the boys' hearts, but both complied with orders and took their medicine resignedly, but cheerfully. Any bad effects, however, were glossed over when the Imperial Dix- ies and Nabiscos were passed around. There was a marked change in the Freshies' attitude toward the upper' classmen after the initiation. This is because they were made to under- stand what becomes a Freshman and how he should view the members of the upper classes. There is also a new dignity about the Freshmen, which is probably backed by the knowledge that he is now a full pledged member of Piedmont High School. Sue Fredlock Entertains Miss Sue Fredlock entertained a few friends Friday night, February 20, at her home on Jones street. Those present were: Virginia Lewis, Vonnah Kennan, Red McDowell and Wayne Werrill, all of Davis, W. Va., and Mildred Skidmore. Deborah Grd, John Crist, Clyde Marker, Evers Smith and Sue Fredlock, of Piedmont. 3Battp Makes Things Ianni The play, Patty Makes Things Hum, was presented by the Seniors at the Piedmont Opera House, Wednesday, February 11. Were it not for the untiring efforts of Mrs. C. T. Neff, Jr., who work- ed so faithfully and diligently for the success of this year's play, it would have been impossible to produce the play of nineteen hundred and twenty- five. Through the worries of different characters and their careless habits of talking and appearing on the stage in general, it is a wonder Mrs. Neff lived through it. After two or three weeks of rehearsal, the persons taking the different parts in the play, finally realized what was to be done. The play as usual was given very successfully, as those who were there will testify. Page seventy-tfwo I Scene from Patty Makes Things Hum.

Mrs. 'Greene on this eventful evening is to have a dinner party, where the engagement of her brother, Captain Little, is to be announced. As yet everything has gone off splendidly, but at the last moment every- thing seems to spell failure for Doris, Mrs. Greene. As the last incident Patty, Mrs. lGreene's sister, who has been at boarding school, arrives. Be- fore Doris encounters Patty, the latter has quite a talk with Hyacinth, the colored maid. Doris enters dismayed at having Patty appear at such an inopportune moment. What was she to do with Patty at this time? Noth- ing would apparently be the answer. Doris is determined Patty shall not come to the dinner party on account of her misbehavior at school, and Rat- ty is determined she will come. Patty makes her exit in a furious state .and Doris follows. Was'nt it just terrible the way she flirted with Captain Braith- Waite? asked Mrs. Greene of her husband the day after the dinner party. This statement meant this, Patty had disguised herself as a common waitress, Marie, by name, and waited on the guests at the dinner party. In doing this Patty not only got Doris in trouble, but Fred, Captain Little, also. On seeing Patty, Fred naturally would show a little brotherly love, and his fiancee thought this very unnecessary, especially since she doesn't know Patty is Fred's sister. Fred is very much upset over Hel- en's leaving him so coldly, especially since all will have to be explained in some manner to his friends. After breakfast is served Patty and Doris, who have quite made up, start to straighten things around a little. After Hyacinth, who was late, arrives, Patty and she get busy on the living room. While Patty is using the sweeper, Captain Braithwaite leaps in. Understand this, Captain Braithwaite still thinks Patty is a Waitress in Mrs. Greene's service. The two have a delightful time arguing over class distinctions, and many trivial things. He becomes eloquent and ends finally in making love to Patty, alias Page seventy-four lrsll Marie. At this particular moment Doris enters and another love scene is broken up. Patty continues to evade the Captain up to the last act. Mrs. Greene, after her dinner party is over, has a garden party where candy and other things are sold for the Red Cross. The girls are there that night trying to rob the men of their five dollar bills. Fred explains to Captain Braithwaite what his sister, Patty, has done, and he secures the forgiveness of his fian- cee, Helen, and the Captain learns Patty is not a maid, but Fred's sister. Captain Braithwaite is very much worried and vexed by Miss Dunbar throughout the evening, but he finally gets rid of her by the end of the act. Fred tries to find Patty all evening so that she and Tom may be introduced properly, but she almost successfully evades him. Fred finally found her and she and Tom Braithwaite are introduced, much to his great ease and happiness. The curtain falls when Patty and Tom wander off the stage, with Tom saying, Then I shall have a glorious time taming you.

My father was the blacksmith. He was a big, strong man, who I am glad to say never lived to see our country destroyed. He went to the war at the first call, leaving me to take care of the shop. The Germans were steadily advancing day by day, leaving desolation in their path. Refugees passed through our village at all hours of the day, fleeing to places of safety. The Germans were only a few miles away and the villagers were hastily leaving their homes. With others I stayed in the village, thinking that we would be perfectly safe. However, one night the Germans arrived and took possession of the shop where I slept. I remained in the cold that night and got but one scanty crust of bread the next day. The soldiers were continually kicking and cursing me. I planned revenge upon one big officer who had offended me. Back of the shop was a pile of old horse shoes and I secured some of these and hid behind the forge to wait for the officer to go by. Finally, he ap- peared, alone and drunk, staggering up the street. When he reached the open door of the shop I raised cautiously from behind my, what I thought to be, secure hiding place, and hurled a shoe at his head. It landed on his forehead, dazing him for a moment. He then recovered his sense and call- ed for some men who were in a nearby inn. They had almost given up the search for me, when the dust that they had stirred up caused me to sneeze. They then found my hiding place, and jerked me out and threw me on the hard, stone floor. I lay there with the fear of death upon me. When the officer said something to the men I was pulled to my feet and my right arm was held out in a horizontal position by the iron grip of a burly private. To my horror I saw the officer draw his keen sword and start toward me. I struggled with all my might, but could not escape. My cries of terror brought villagers and soldiers to the door to see what was going on. I pleaded with the soldiers and the villagers, but the villagers were afraid to oppose the soldiers, who only grinned at me and urged the officer on. He raised the sword and as it started to descend I lost consciousness. When I regained my senses I was aware of a great pain in my left shoulder and painfully glancing in that direction I beheld what I had feared. My left arm had been cut off at the shoulder. Before I lost consciousness again I saw the face of a friend. Some hours later I was aroused by the guttural voices of men. I was rudely pulled out of bed and dragged to the river. I could not offer any re- sistance, because I was weak and faint from loss of blood. I learned from their actions and talk that I was to be thrown in the river to drown. I was in a position now that I didn't care whether I lived or died, so when the sol- diers lifted me up to throw me into the water of the cold river, I felt grat- iiied. At last they threw me and as the water closed over my head I tried Page eighiy-one I C4251 desperately to swim but I was too weak. I held my breath until at last I could hold it no longer and as the Wat- er flowed in through my mouth and nose I lost consciousness. I heard voices in the distance gradually louder and when I finally re- gained my sense of hearing I heard my mother say: Bring up another gucket of water, he isn't awake yet. What do you think? It was only a ream. avmhpfzn Have you ever wondered why each graduating class has its Senior play? It seems to be a well established custom, as the end draws near, for this last united effort of the class to be given without fail. Let it be known here that the chief purpose of the play is to obtain money. What money is made is used for the benefit of the school, in the publishing of the an- nual year book, Tris. Part is used to defray necessary class expenses. It can easily be understood then, how valuable are the financial returns of the play. The Senior play is firmly founded and heartily desired by the students and public. Nevertheless, another purpose is to present a worth-while play that will always remain as a monument to the work and ability of the graduat- ing class. Each particular class is generally remembered by its Senior play. Mention the class of '24 and one immediately thinks of Mr. Bob. Every Senior should feel that he is responsible in some Way for the success of this last united effort of the class. DESSIE FOX '25 ill.-il laughs Build for yourself a strong box, Fashion each part with careg Fit it with clasp and padlock, Put all your troubles in thereg Hide therein all your failures, And each bitter cup you quaff, Lock all your heartaches within it, Then sit on the lid and laugh.

Page eighty-twn VFZHSII A Huqzsl 1115132 Qhhenture uf a ikainhrup I remember as I lay in the ocean with regrets, floating in a cloud over land checkered with farms deep blue and lakes dotted with soils, the moun- tains rugged and serene with deep gorges and cool glades. Then I felt my- self falling to earth with millions of other drops to be sucked up by the thirsty ground immediately upon arriving. It was dark and cold as I jour- neyed farther down into the earth until finally, I joined many other drops and began traveling along with them to burst into a pure, clear mountain spring at last. It was a small spring with a little stream of water flowing from the outlet, towards which I felt myself being drawn and then go tumb- ling down the gully. Gradually other small streams began joining in 'till I found myself be- ing hurried along by a rushing, brawling mountain stream in which the speckled mountain trout loved to leap and play, or the fisherman with wad- ing boots on and large rod in hand, his kind face lighted with joy as he tested his skill with the husky mountain trout which he had hooked. I had a thrill as I rushed through the rapids and felt myself leap into the air as I struck a bowlder, to go roving on again. I felt myself falling until fin- ally I was just a mist through which the sun formed a beautiful rainbow, then the joining at the bottom of the falls, to go creeping slowly through deep virgin forests with the stars and moon reflected on the water. I heard the deer come down to drink, only to tremble and snort as it hears the weird scream of the mountain lion in the forest, or in the morn- ing the songs of the birds, accompanied sometimes by the singing of a tall, clear-eyed man as he passes swiftly over me in his canoe. Still other drops of water come in the form of streams, until finally I am in a mighty river, flowing stately between banks lined with tall trees or going around a bend and bursting upon a quiet village basking in the warm sun or in the moon- light to see two lovers sitting on the bank dreaming of happy days to come. As I flowed on with millions of other raindrops, a change gradually took place. Instead of wood-lined banks and swift canoes, there were farms and large steamersg then the factories, the wheels of which I made go around by my mighty force, and in this way became a servant of man and a help to the world. I was dammed up and made to turn mighty generators which sent a fluid which lights up the cities and helped to relieve the bur- dens of man. Then to arrive at the end of my journey, the ocean, over which the mighty steamer passed. I still lie here awaiting the call which will again take me to the white clouds which float over my head. I want to help mankind whom God decreed we should serve. NONRMAN HOIFFA '25 Page eighty-three The Qlutnhiugrapbp uf a ibennp Years ago I slept in the pocket of a rock in the Rocky Mountains. Once when I was lying quietly in my bed I heard a far off sound which seemed to come nearer and nearer. Suddenly I heard someone hammering and walking and after while someone took me out of the rock. I was put in a fire and heated until I was as round as could be. After while they sent me away to be stamped and then sent me on my journey around the world. . I never stay in one place long enough to call it home. One day a rich lady took me to a large store and gave me, with a lot of other pennies to a man behind the counter for some sugar. When the lady was gone the man put me in a drawer with other pieces of money and shut me up in there. Oh! how dark it did seem for a while. I lay there very quiet listening to the other pennies telling about the experiences they had during their lives. I was left in this drawer for a few hours, which seemed more to me like months. Then I was taken out and given to a little girl, who put me in her pocket book and left me there for two or three days. I was then taken to a candy store and exchanged for some candy. I was again put in an old dark drawer. I did not stay there very long before I was given to a boy who put me into his pocket. But he was a very care- less boy for at least I thought sol as he put me in a pocket that had a hole in it. As he was going along the street I dropped on the hot, dusty road, where I was soon lost from sight by the dust which covered me. I began to think that I would have to end my life in that old dusty road where the careless boy had dropped me, when a little child came along the road and happened to see me shining through the dust. She ea'- erly picked me up and wiped the dust off my face. How pleased she was! She said: I will go in the store and get a stick of candy. I was then placed in an old dark drawer again and here I was shut out from the beau- tiful, bright world. I lay here for three long days. Then the storekeeper gave me to his little g'rl to take to Sunday School. She put me in her pock- et and started on her way. When she reached the church she went in and sat down by some other girls and showed me to them. She seemed very proud of me. After while I heard a bell ring and an old lady came back to the class. She took up the collection and I was dropped into the plate. A lot of other pieces of money were thrown on top of me. Taking the money out of the plate, the teacher, which was what the class called the lady, counted it. As she deemed the collection for that day quite a large one, she seemed very much pleased, declaring that the pennies were what counted. I felt m.uch elated after hearing this statement, but my joy was short last- ing as I was handed to a large man who put me into a corner way down in hris pocket. He tried to get me out, but had a very hard time doing so. When he finally accomplished his aim, he asked: You little rascal, why couldn't I get you out before ? This man treated me very cruelly and I certainly was glad when I was given to anotlcer man. I wonder how much longer I must travel before I get to a place where I can rest for a while. A penny surely has a very hard life. ERMA TURNER '26 Page eighly-four Mary uf a Ileah 1BenriI Monday. My! I feel so good this morning. I am all dressed up in a nice yellow suit, and a nice red rubber cap is fastened securely on my head. I just arrived in Piedmont and the store man who bought me has put me in the window. Oh! It is so pleasant here and I can take in all the sights. I saw Sue Fredlock and Clyde Marker going down street, but, of course, they didn't notice poor little me. They seemed very happy. I wish them the best of luck. Tuesday. Well, I don't feel quite as good to-day as I did yesterday. The store keeper took me out of the window this morning and set me on the counter with some more of my brother and sister pencils. I can't see very much here and I am so afraid someone will come in and buy me and then I will be treated cruelly. Oh! What a noise! Who is coming? Why, it is Virginia Fisher and of course, she had to buy me. Wednesday. Oh dear, this is my first appearance in P. H. S. Of course someone took me up to the pencil sharpener and sharpened me. My! How that operation did pain me. I hear the sound of approaching foot- steps. Oh! It is Mr. Rhodes. Now, there is a rush for class rooms and someone had to take me along. I don't know who he was, but he opened his pocket knife and cut me part away. I am getting rather used to this op- eration as it is repeated so much. Well, I've just written and figured all this livelong day. I feel so old and I am afraid my life will soon draw to a close. I suppose everyone has gone and left me here on this desk, so I guess I will get a little rest for a while, because I surely do need it. Thursday. My! I had a good rest last night and feel refreshed this morning. Had quite an interesting conversation with one of my friends. But my! He surely must be rich because he wears a gold suit and by the way he talked he must be treated good. I often wonder why it is that some pencils are treated so good and I am treated so cruelly. I have led an un- happy life ever since my first day in P. H. S. when that operation was per- formed upon me. Friday. Something unusual happened this morning. I heard the most peculiar noise and what do you think? Someone said it was Eula Freeman playing the piano. Then, some boy came along and put me way down in his pocket. Oh! It was so dark in there. At last I found myself falling and before I knew what had happened I was on the floor. The next thing I knew I was with a lot of papers in a basket. Saturday. Just a few words this morning to whomever may read this diary. I was once long and handsome and as happy as could be, now I have grown aged and I fear my life is about to close. Oh! don't abuse your 'pen- cils, but handle them with care, and just think how you would wonder what to do if these friendly pencils could not be made for your use. RUTH TURNER '25 Page zighty-five I H 3 Qlihz Blank Bihar A large vision rose before meg it was a ghost dressed in a large black robe and with large staring eyes which shone like fire. I am not a coward, but yet the sight of this strange visitor made me tremble. In my fear I reached out a hand toward it and uttered: Do you wish something from me ? But not a sound was heard from the strangerg it seemed to repeat everything I didg it reached two arms toward me. I rose from my seat and left the room to see if I could not get away from my un- welcome friend. Upon reaching the next room I found that my friend was there before me. He greeted me with a sign of the hand and bade me sit down. I did as I was asked for I was afraid not to. While sitting here my visitor gained his speech. He wanted to know if we were alone and if I would go with him to his cave, which was called Black Pit. I was afraid not to say Yes, but the thought of entering Black Pit made me shudder. People had often wanted to go in but dared not venture because of the mysterious enchantment of the place, and because Black Rider had warned them not to come near. As I was dazzled in thought I glanced nervously to the stranger and, behold here I was in a house with the Black Rider, faced by a long sharp knife. I was not long answering his questions, for to everyone I was com- pelled to answer: Yes. After I promised him I would go and would tell no one of his visit, he disappeared. How glad I was he was gone, but what would I do about visiting Black Pit? This was the question which confront- ed me. I was sure that death awaited me. Having put in a restless night of sleeping, I rose and prepared for my dreadful journey. I was no sooner ready than my visitor came leaping up to the gate. He was disguised in a long black coat and a little old felt hat was drawn down over his forehead. I was put on the horse by the strang- er and we started for Black Pit. Before going far I looked back to see my home before meeting my doom. The stranger saw that I was dreadfully frightened and questioned me on what I thought Black Pit was. I told him about my hearing it was the place where death awaited those who ven- tured in and of every detail of the Black Rider. He gave a few snarls and spurred the horse with his heels and said: People seem to know a lot a- bout other people's business in this towng there must be a stop fput to it. I would not talk except when questioned, then I was just able to mumble. The Pit was soon reached. We were surrounded by a number of cur- ious looking fellows, who resembled the rider in every Way possible. These fellows looked at me as if they had never seen a person before. Page eighty-six g rw: Consequently the door keeper of the cave had not been told of my ar- rival with the Rider and as I started in the door he drew his sharp ax to stop me, but as the ax was descending I lost consciousness and did not re- cover for some hours later. When I recovered I saw the Black Rider, changed in his black robe, seated on a high chair or throne. As I opened my eyes he came toward me and said: You are fortunate to be found in this pit alive. He showed me the skeletons and bones of a few people who were killed by him many years before. I wondered what he could want with me. He glanced angrily at me and said between his teeth: You think you shall get off lucky, but wait until to-morrow and I will make use of you. To-morrow I am going to make a new town. I shall warn the people to hold their tongues and you will keep the pit in company with my lion, 'Bravo.' How do you think you will like that ? I did not answer but stood stupified. The next day I was left alone. I thought the Black Rider had just told me I was with a lion to scare me, so I decided to explore the pit. It was light in the room where I was now, but traveling back in the darkness with a hope to find a place to escape, I could see no sign of a door except a small hole in the top of the roof. I had just about given up hope when I heard a strange sound. Just then a lion came leaping toward me. I ran to my room with the lion leaping after me, but fortunately I got the iron trap door closed before it rushed in. I hunted around in the room to see what I could find. After a few hours of hunting I found the faithful sword of the Black Rider. It was hidden in an old box which took the place of a trunk. I was looking at the sword when the Black Rider came in. He was filled with rage. He dashed toward me, but I had a thought and soon used it. I struck him with the sword, knocking him to the floor of the pit. He kick- ed the door open as he hit the ground and in jumped Bravo, growling and roaring at me with rage. He sprang at me, but I struck him with my sword, killing him instantly. After this act I left the pit, avoiding all the small fellows who guarded it, for they were fast asleep. When I entered the town and told the people of the Black Rider's' death, everyone rejoiced, while many of the town folks later explored the pit merely for curiosity. I was satisfied for I had gotten my revenge. GRACE KN OTT ' 26 Page eighty-sewn lrl The igztnitnzbzh Qllurk It was in Pikesville on a Sunday night at about half past eleven o'clock that a human leg might have been seen entering Deacon Henry Culpepper's kitchen window. The leg was followed finally by the entire person of a live- ly youth. Joe Sikes, thus in the dead of night, won his way into the deac- on's kitchen. Formerly the deacon had told Joe not to darken his door again. Joe promised him he wouldn't, but the deacon didn't say anything about the windows, so Joe took the advantage. When he landed in the kitchen it was as cold as an iceberg and all the lights were out. Joe could not move for fear that he would wake the old folks. So he stayed in the same position waiting for Sally, the deacon's daughter, to arrive. A Finally, the beautiful maid descended the stairs with a tallow candle and a box of matches. After greeting Joe, Sally made a roaring fire in the cooking stove, and the happy couple sat down to enjoy the sweet interchange of hopes and views. But the course of true love ran no smoother in old Culpe4plper's kitchen than it did elsewhere, and Joe, who was making up his mind to treat himself to a kiss, was startled by the voice of the deacon shouting from up- stairs: Sally, what are you getting up in the middle of the night for ? Joe whispered: Tell him it is morning. I can't tella fib, said Sally. I'll make it the truth then, said Joe, and running to the huge, old fashioned clock that stood in the corner, he set it at five. Then from above the voice of the deacon was heard again. Look at the clock and tell me what time it is. Sally responded, It is five by the clock, and corroborating the words the clock struck five. The lovers sat down again to continue their conversation, when sud- denly the staircase began to creak. Good gracious, it's father, cried Sally. Hide me, Sal! Hide me quick, cried the nervous Joe. Oh! Where can I hide you ? cried the distracted girl. I know. said Joe. I will squeeze into the clock case. Without another word he concealed himself in the case and drew the door behind him. The deacon came down fully dressed, and seating himself by the stove, pulled out his pipe and lighted it, and commenced smoking very deliberate- ly and calmly. Five o'clock, eh ? said he. Well, I shall have time to smoke three or four pipes, then I'll go and feed the critters. The dutiful Sally suggested: But pa, hadn't you better feed the crit- Page eighty-eight l l. We rl ters now ? But the old man, who seemed not a whit disposed to hurry with his work, replied: No, Smoking clears my head and wakes me up. Bur-r-r-whiz-z-ding-ding! went the clock. Tormented lightning ! cried the deacon, staring up and dropping his pipe on the stove, What in the creation is that ? Whiz-ding! ding! ding! went the old clock, furiously. Sally, who was trembling from head to toe, said: It is only the clock striking five. Powers of mercy I cried the deacon, striking five? Why, it has struck a hundred already. Deacon Culpepper, cried the deacon's wife, who had hastily dressed herself, and-' now came plunging down the stairs in the wildest state of a- larm, what is the matter with the clock ? The goodness only knows, replied the old man. It's been in the fam.ily over a hundred years and never have I known it to carry on so before. Whiz-Bang! Bang! Bang! went the old clock. It will burst itself, said the old lady, shedding ag flood of tears, and there won't be nothing left of it. It's bewitched, said the deacon, who retained some New England superstitution in his nature. Anyhow, he said, I am going to see what's got into it. Oh, don't! cried his daughter affectionately, seizing one of his coat tails, while his wife hung to the other. Don't, cried Hooth of the women to-gether. Let go of my coat, shouted the deacon. I ain't afraid of it. But the women would not let go, so the deacon slipped off his coat, while from the suddenness of the jerk the two women fell to the floor, he darted forward and laid his hand on the door of the clock case. But he could not open it, because Joe was holding it with a death grip. The deacon now became dreadfully frightened. He gave one more tugg an unearthly yell, as of a fiend in distress, came from inside, and then the clock case pitched head foremost on the floor, smashed its face, and wrecked itself. The current of air put out the light. The deacon, the old lady and Sally fled upstairs, and Joe Sikes gathered himself from the clock and went from the deacon's house by the same way he entered. The next day all Pikesville was alive with the story of the deacon's clock, and though many believed the versions, some and especially Joe, af- fected not to believe the whole affair, hinting that the deacon had been tasting some cider, and that it was all imagination about the clock. LORNA C OLE '27 Page eighty-nine Kaus F125 X C Beaping The Iaarnest There was a sad heart in the low-stained, dark little house that stood humbly by the roadside under some elms. Ruth Scott had just returned from school and was sitting in her room trying to study her lessons, but her mind was troubled about something else. To think, that after all the years she and May Clark had been friends, that May should think her guilty of so contemptible an act. It was unpardonable. She would never forgive May, not if she lived a thousand years. English had always been iRuth's weak point, and when the new teach- er announced that every Senior in the class was to hand in an essay every Thursday, Ruth saw where her daily grades would fall far below the pass- ing grade. Ruth's first two essays were so ipoor that Miss Vlfhite called her atteition to them. Writing was fun for May and she always made good mar s. During May's summer vacation she had been given the opportunity to visit a paper mill, a glass factory and two other factories. She had readily accepted the invitation and had immediately invited Ruth to accompany her. Ruth refused to go because she knew May would suggest taking notes which would spoil her trip. So Ruth did not go and May got enough mater- ial for several themes. Now, that the weekly themes were a necessity Ruth longed for May's note book. One day Ruth asked May to lend her the note book, and, altho they were good friends, May refused. At this refusal Ruth was very angry. Even then, matters would have been adjusted .pleasantly had not May's note book disappeared the very next day. She had taken it to school and had forgotten it entirely until after her return from lunch. Ruth, who brought her lunch, had stayed in the classroom during dinner hour. May discovered her loss immediately after her return, and at once re- ported to the English teacher. She also told the teacher she was sure Ruth had the book. Promise me, Miss Clark, that you will not mention this to anyone for a week, said Miss White, the teacher, and May promised. For the next week the two former friends scarcely exchanged a look, and on the day the essays were to be handed in, May had almost forgotten that she had lost her book. The next morning after returning the corrected essays, Miss White withheld two of the corrected papers turned in by.Ruth and May, and at the 'close of the period she announced: Miss Scott and Miss Clark will re- main after the class has passed out. ' Ruth looked at May Wonderingly, but May looked straight ahead. When the door was closed after the last student, Miss White addressed Ruth Page ninety , El abruptly, Where did you find Miss Clark's note book? I don't understand, faltered Ruth in a frightened manner. Four days ago Miss Clark's note book disappeared. She immediately reported the loss to me. I urged her to keep it a secret, thinking the book had been mislaid. She gave me a list of the notes the book contained. Here Miss White paused and held up the two essays, then she continued: These two essays were both written about a trip through a paper mill, and it seems to me that one is original, the other copied. Miss 'Clark has visit- ed the mill, her note book is lost and her work bears every mark of orig- inality, while yours is a poor imitation. What have you to say? Ruth straightened and looked directly into May's eyes and asked: Do you think I have stolen your note book ? May answered rather nervously: I think that you just borrowed it. Then ,Ruth spoke again: I didn't know the book was lost. It is true that I asked May to lend me her note book and when she refused I was ang- ry, far too angry to see that she was right. That night I spent two hours at the paper mill and I never dreamed that May would select that particular subject for her essay this week. The fact that her work seems original and mine copied is easily explained by the difference in our abilities as writ- ers. You may call the superintendnt and learn whether I am telling you the truth or not. It is true I hate to write, but I am no thief. Miss White and May both felt responsible for the unjust accusation made. Then May asked: But what could have become of my note book? I didn't take it home. You certainly did have the book when you went out of the room, an- swered Ruth and then said to Miss White: You know how May is about her desk, her lessons, her everything, she can't bear to see anything out of wplace. She probably went straight home that day and being through with the book returned it to its proper place thoughtlesslyf' May spoke sympathetically: I remember now, Miss White, I know exactly where it is. Oh, Ruth, can you ever forgive me? Ruth entirely ignored the question. All thru the afternoon Ruth was so angry she could hardly wait 'till the dismissal bell rang, but at last it.did ring, and she hurried home before any of the girls said anything to her. On reaching home she went straight to her room and tried to study, but she couldn't, so she got up and went over to her bed and lay down. She went to sleeup and when she awoke she wondered what time it was. Look- ing at her watch she realized it was time for supper. She immediately went down stairs. Her father and mother were already at the table, so she sat down and began eating. During the meal her mother said: Ruth, I found your lace collar that you were so sure Ella fthe maidj had taken. I have not told her that it is found, as you were the one who accused her. I thought it was only right that you should go to her yourself. Poor Ella has had a hard day of it. Pay: ninety-one PHA17 I ' 5 q 25 I But mother, Ruth dropped her fork in her excitement, Ella had a collar on her coat exactly like mine and mine was lost. How was I to know? Then a certain memory stabbed her. How was May to know that she had not taken her notebook. She told her mother and father about the miserable afternoon she had spent and she finished by saying: I'm going straight to Ella and apologize, and she went out of the room in a minute. Fifteen minutes later Ruth returned and said, Ella made things all :right and then I went and called up May. We're friends again. Ruth paused for a second and then added: I am going to reap a different har- vest from now on, and she did. MARY POWERS '25 water I am the mountain stream that leaps and brawls In the depths of which the trout love to play, Along my banks many vines love to crawl Snaring children and forcing them to stay. I am the cloud which floats above so white To be turned to red by the setting sun, Looking down on farms and lakes in my flight When men turn from the fields with their work done. I am the river that foams, frets and snarls, Or flows peacefully along smiling blue, Making petty things of all men's quarrels, Testing them to see whether they are true. I am the ocean full of many moods, Now tossed about by the storms passing o'er. I hold on my bosom the vessels crude, While above are the birds which reel and soar. I am. the snow which is white as fleece, Giving all things a strange, fantastic cast, Affecting actions of many a beast Coming with the herald of blizzards blast.
