E , D ons o great talents, there would be very little .success in the world. It has been said that talent is quite as much the ability to stick to a thing, as the aptitude to do it better than any . other. It matters not what talent or genius a person may possess, no natural gift can compensate for hard, persistent toil. Th , G I .

Edison, speaking of his success said: I had, when I started out, all the patience and perseverance that I have now, but I lacked the experience. Seeing that I had only ten weeks of schooling in all my life, I can say with truth that experience has been my only school. My failures have exceeded my suc- cesses a hundred to one. but even the experience of these failures has been in e difference between the genius and the ordinary person is tlnt th f itself an educator. The Labor omnia vincit, Perserverance overcomes everything. Romans had a maxim, as true today as it was when first uttered: We must not underestimate the value of education and learning. Although not the same kind, there is as much difference between education and learning as there is between character and reputation. Education is the harmonious de- velopment of all our faculties. It begins in the nurserv and goes on at school: but it does not end there. It continues through life. Gibbon says, Every person has two educations, one which he receives from others, and another, more im- portant, which he gives himself. Learning is the knowledge obtained by study. It is mental capital, in the way of accumulated facts. It should not be inferred that learning is not of the greatest value, or that facts obtained from the proper books are to be ignored. The best investment that a person can make is in books, which are valuable not only for the informa- tion they giveg when they do not instruct they elevate and refine. To the person uhungering and thirstingn for learning and education there are no books more helpful than the biographies of those whom it is well to imitate. Longfellow says: Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime, And departing leave behind us, Footprints on the sands of time. Footprints which perhaps another, Sailing o'er life's solemn main, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, Seeing, may take heart again. Great men of science, literature and art have belonged to no exclusive class or rank in life. They have come alike from colleges, workshops and farm-houses -from the huts of the poor and the mansions of the rich. Their very difficulties in many instances would seem to have br-en their best lielDCX'S,.f0l' UIICY CV0kCfl their powers of labor and endurance, and developed talents which nnght other- wise have lain dormant. fi THE Hl-IRMIAD MUD CElizabeth VVi1de-19305 NE warm Sunday afternoon. early in the month of March, Mrs. Vanderbilt was seized with an insatiable desire to visit her sister-in-law, who lived in a neighboring town. Mr. Vanderbilt, however. did not share his wife's desire, as most devoted husbands are supposed to do, for he was blissfully wandering in the proverbial Land of Nod. Upon being awakened by his better half and requested to drive the family to the fraternal mansion he QFOWICCI. blinked, yawned and finally said, Let Teddy do it. Teddy was the oldest son and had just reached the advanced age of fifteen. But Percival dear, you know that Teddy has no driver's license, although he drives as well as you do, remonstrated his wife. Now Percival Vanderbilt regarded Sunday as his day of rest ton the old couchl and did not intend to be persuaded into driving his family anywhere, even if it did happen to be to his sister's house, so he replied, Go by the back road. No one will see you there. If you see a state cop, stop by the side of the road and tell him you are waiting for your father, he said to Teddy. Mrs. Vanderbilt feared that the back road in question would be very muddy for it had rained all the previous day, and she did not hesitate to tell her husband so. But at last all of her misgivings were overcome and she timidly set out with her father and two daughters for the seven mile trin to the neierhborinyr town. Teddy, of course was at the wheel of the family coach, whirh happened in this modern day and age to be a Willys-Knight. The first quarter of the iourney was traversed in safety. Mrs. Vanderbilt gave a sigh of relief and remarked upon the good condition of the road. but, alas! she had spoken too soon. Before them was a large pool of mud. Teddy stepped on the gas and was nearly across it when the ear gave a shudder and groan and then stopped entirely. In vain did Teddy attempt to extricate the noble and valiant Knight. Such mud! A little way up the road was a farmhouse. and imagine the surprise of Mrs. Vanderbilt to see a strong work horse, led by half a dozen small urchins rome galloping down the road. But the attempts of old Dobbin to rr-move the car from its bed in the mire were as fruitless as those of Teddy. The urchins returned the horse to a well-earned rest in the barn and reappeared a few minutes later with a large tractor. It was but a short time after this that the Knirrht and its occupants were once more merrily rolling down the road. But not for long. for another and much worse mud-hole appeared before their eyes. Teddy gritted his teeth and muttered, I won't get stuck this time ! True to his word he plowed the car through the mud although Mrs. Vander- bilt and her father preferred walking through. This performance was repeated every few rods along the well-paved CPU road. Two hours later the party reached its destination. Mrs. Vanderbilt's first act was to call her Sleeping Beauty on the telephone, and order him to come up on the next bus to drive the family home. Mr. Vanderbilt did so and the return journey was safely made via the state road. THE HERMIAD 7 TO A PENCIL CFrank Koss-19325 I know not where thou art. I only know Thou rested on my desk, Beautiful and contented, A moment back. And as I turned my head To view the clock, Some heartless wretch Went West with thee. I know not who he was Nor shall I ask Perchance, It may have been The man I stole thee from tie CONCILIATION WITH MR. CHAPMAN fWalter Reese-19303 HOPE Sir, that notwithstanding the Supreme power of your principalship. your exceeding good nature will incline you to some degree of indulgence to- wards your unruly pupils. As I came into your ofnce full of anxiety about the event of my plea and found to my inhnite surprise that your secretary treated me as a royal visitor instead of the humble petitioner that I am, I took this treat- ment as a providential favor and hope secretly to get some more like it. By the granting of this interview you have given us an opportunity to make an earnest plea for the elimination of a menace very detrimental to the pupils of this beloved institution. This menace we speak of is the final examinations. Snre'y examinations are an awful subject or there is none this side of the grave. Sir, the student body, by the practice of these examinations is kept in continued and constant agitation. One of my worthy schoolmates has already submitted a plan by which the exams may be eliminated for some students. He would have such pupils as have a high average for their work throughout the year excused from the examination. This, Sir, I call outrageous, refined policy which has ever been the parent of confusion. Plain good intention, very easily detected from the hrst, is my ideal. You, Sir, have admitted that there are grounds for our plea by carefully considering, as we know you did, that plan: you have gone further, you have given us to believe that the examinations may be eliminated upon the presenta- tion of proof of their deplorable intiuences. 8 THE HERMIAD Thi y exams or the stu- dents who were lcastuharmed by them. High average students, Sir, have their ranks lowered by fallllig to pass exams but this lower rank is not detrimental. I plead for the pupils who would not beneht by my schoolmates plan, those whose average would be too low to enable them to escape the exams. Their failures would lower the year's rank d ' - ' ' ' 1 ' an It would be exceedingly detrimental, for it would mean their failure for the year. s refined policy of my schoolmate would do awa with f Excuse me, Sir, if I continue my remarks on the same line. Exams should he entirely eliminated by my plan rather than partially eliminated by my school- mate's plan and will now endeavor, without, I hope appearing to you to be too his flunking an exam will mean Hunking for the year, grows exceedingly nervous and does much worseg while the high average pupil consoles himself with the thought that if he flunk th ' ' g s e exam he can stlll pass for the year, remains calm and does lns best. I am sensible, Sir, that all that I have said proves the absurdit of m h I- I . y y sc oo mate's plan and will now endeavor, without, I hope appearing to you to be too nervy, to prove that exams should be entirely abolished. There are three main reasons why examinations should be abolished. First, they are not a test of the subject as a whole, certain parts only are touched upon it lies, Sir, entirely with luck whether or not the pupil is more and better prepared on these certain few questions than on the rest of the subject. Second, they do not represent the pupil at his best, they represent the pupil at his worstg the reason is, if I may have the right to present it, that so much hinges on the results of this exam, that the pupil's future itself hinges on it-which is indeed a terrifying fact to the pupil. Third, they take up too much of the pupiI's and the teacher's time. If the time thus taken up were spent in further study by the pupils and in further teaching by the teachers it would indeed be much more wisely spent. I pray, Sir, that if this plea displeases you, the austerity of your position will prevent you from kicking me from your genteel presence: I further pray, Sir, that if you approve of this plan you may execute it immediately in order that I and the others of my class may derive from it our due benefit. S? +35 THE NIGHT BEFORE EXAMS CLove Fleisher-19325 'Twas the eve of exams and all through that night, I lay groaning in bed in fear of my plight, The ghosts of the lessons I did not prepare Came trooping in line to enjoy my despair. , The history dates danced a jig on my pillow T ' Till I'm sure I cried more than a large weeping willow. French verbs that I most surely ought to have known For some reason or other from my mem'ry had flown. THE HERMIAD 9 The nouns of old Latin would not be declined And Minerva refused to give aid to my mind. A skeleton jumped from a corner at me And all of his bones were as mixed as could be. In one bony hand some numbers he held, Which twisted and squirmed and suddenly yelled: Don't forget the equation, and quickly they turned Into horrible snakes which crawled and squirmed. The skeleton moved and maybe he spoke, But the scenes were too much! I screamed-and awoke! No matter how hard the exams prove to be, They'll ne'er be as bad as that night was to me. siege UNE DECISION F ORCEE CLouis Lafrance-1930D L Y A quelques annees j'ai eu l'honneur d'assister a une seanee dans la Chambre des Representants at Hartford. Vous ne sauriez croire le plaisir que cette seance me fournit. C'etait un debat entre des femmes. La resolu- tion ressemblait fi ceeig les femmes doivent prendre part du jury dans l'Etat de Connecticut. Je suis sur que le plus grand pessimiste clue monde aurait joui de cette occasion. L'audience etait honoree par la presence de deux femmes juristes d'etats voisins. Elles ont donne leurs opinions favorablement. Les appaludissements resonnerent comme des coups de canon dans la chambre et on dirait que la victoire etait inevitable pour l'aHirmative. Voila qu'une femme, jusqu'ici restee inerte, se leve: Mesdan1es et messieurs, par la loi naturelle les femmes sont feminines et non feministesf' suivi d'un dis- cours plein de dedain pour la resolution. Ces seules parc-les suffirent pour donner aux negatives l'occasion de defendre leurs principes et de rendre inferieures ceux de leurs adversaires. A qui donnerait-on la victoire? La salle devenait de plus en plus reson- nante avec Yenthousiasme des deux parties, manifeste d'une manniere qui me paraissait extraordinaire pour des femmes. Le president des juges se leva et annonca que la decision serait remise au lendemam. Un peu vexees, les deux qui soutenaient la resolution, insisterent qu'on donna la decision immediate- ment. Alors les pauvres vieux, ne voulant pas etre la cause d'une confusion, se retirerent et apres une demi-heurei revinrent prendre leurs places tres solennellement. Tout etait tranquille. Personne ne bougeait et une deuxieme fois la voix du president se Ht entendre. Les femmes de Connecticut ne doivent pas prendre part du jury. - THE HERMIAD ADVICE FROM SEN1ORS-A HORTATORY ' qoonaid C. Gallup-19305 Schoolmates, when you're tired of Latin, And you hate old Cicero, And you're sick with learnin', learnin' When there's nothing else to know. VVhen you wish that that nut, Milton, And his friends had never been, And you're out of sorts with Drayton, Condemning literary men. VVhen you've studied Burke, Cand sufferedll 'Till your brains are in a whirl, With the words o'er which he stuttered, VVhen he that peaceful UD speech did hurl. VVhen you labor with the poetry, For which Palgrave gave his worst, When you feel all hot and sultry, And you'd quit it, if you durst. There's the time for perseveringg Time to showbjust how you're made, Can you stand up under scolding, And prove you're worthy of the grade? For if you fail to do this also, And shirk duty in this test, You won't stand, as those before you Good examples to the rest. Then when Shakespeare starts to vex you, And you feel your grapplers slip, Remember those who went before you, And stick steadfast to the ship. EPILOGUE So, in the midst of tribulation, NVhen there comes an awful day, Let this be your consolation, O shucks! they're all gone anyway. THE HERMIAIJ ,1 A BOY OF ANCIENT ROME CMargaret Paolilli-19335 AM a Roman boy and in telling of my life I will begin by shortly describ- ing my country. Italy was a long narrow peninsula of I-Iurope. The most important rivers were the Tiber and Po. There were mountains running through Italy dividing it into two main parts, and making it very unlike the many city states of Greece. Rome, founded in the year 753 B. C., was located on a hill by the Tiber. The early Romans were very rude, simple, and patriotic people who lived in primitive houses made of reed, many times with only one room. This house contained the barest necessities. My ancestors were people with great ambition to serve their state or city and sacrifice themselves for their country. Some examples of such people are Cincinnatus, who left his plow in the furrow to answer his country's call, and Decius Mus who devoted his life to save a Roman army. When Rome was at the height of its power I enjoyed many of its luxuries. My mother occupied an important positiong she was a companion of my father. manager of our household, and was honored in public. She wore a long woven garment reaching her feet. A wide tlounce was sewed to the lower hem. The sleeves were loosely clasped with beautiful brooches or buttons. My sister wore a tunic with short sleeves, round neck, and a belt around her waist. She also wore a locket which contained a charm and was worn as a protection against the evil eye and witchcraft. She was taken care of by a servant. My mother taught her language, arithmetic and how to perform house- hold duties. My father, a tall, large built man, wore a plain tunic. At all public and so- cial tunct ons he wore a woot-n garment, known as a toga. It was arranged very carefully to have every fold in its proper place. Neither pins nor buttons were used. My father was a man of high rank, therefore, he had a purple bor- der on his toga. My dress was very much the same as my father's. Like the majority of Romans we wore the Roman shoes, which were really sandals. In summer I lived in a villa located in the country. It was large and beau- tiful. with pleasure grounds, parks and artificial lakes. Many slaves took care of this summer home. In the winter l lived in a city house located on a busi- ness street. The entrance into the house was between two stores. The rooms were placed around an open courtyard and were opcn to th - slcy fo' a supply of light and air. The two main parts of the house were the atrium and the peristyle. The atrium was a reception room fitted with sp'endor and magnificence. Tall columns supported its roof. In the center there was a pool above which was an opening for air and light. The pool caught the rain water that descended fron, the opening. The peristyle was back of the atrium and had no roof. It was a garden with a pool and shrubbery. I attended a private school which was exposed to all the distractions of the city life around it. A lee was paid to the teacher. I was attended by an elder- ly and trustworthy slave who was my constant companion and who kept me 12 THE HERMIAD out of harm, moral as well as physical. It was compulsory that we carry a lantern for, because of the heat in the middle of the day. school began before dawn. In the middle of the day we took a nap after which there was a session. In school we were taught arithmetic, language and history. VVe also had to learn one motto every day. We used tablets and stili. The tablets were made of wood. with.raised edges around waxed surfaces. The writing was done by Stlll, pointed instru- ments. The teacher often held in his hand a Roman book: this was a long and unwieldy strip of papyrus which was kept rolled when not in use. A reader took the roll in both hands, unrolling columns with the right hand and rolling them with the left hand. These are the details of my life. ek? A BOY fHilliarcl H.

Not to indu'ge in too much jest. T!-IE SOPHOMORE AUCTION fHelen Jarosz-19325 I dreamed a dream in the midst of my slumbers, And as fast as I dreamed it, it came in sad numbers. My thoughts ran along in such beautiful meter, I am sure I've not heard any poetry sweeter. It seemed that a law had recently been made, That a tax on poor Sophomores' heads should be laid And in order to make them all seekers of knowledge, The tax was so great that they'll soon be in college. The Sophomofes grumbled and said 'twas no use, That 'twas wicked injustice and horrid abuse. They declared that to save their heart's blood from On such a great tax they would not pay a shilling. liut the rulers determined them still to pursue, And set all the Sophomores up at vendue. A crier was sent through the school to and fro, To ratt'e his bells and his trumpet to blow: And to call to all he might meet on his way: I-Io! Fifty young 'Sophs' to be sold here today. And then all the Seniors and Juniors bold Came to carry away all the treasure foretold. The auctioneer then on his labors began, And called out aloud as he held up a man: spilling THIE HICRMIAD 14 How much for a Sophomore? VVho wants to buy? In a twinkle all the students cried out, Il I! And then titty odd students, both younger and older, Lugged home a young Soph high up on his shoulder. CLUBS-A POSSIBILITY FGR P. H. S. CGeorge Agayoff-l930l HAT school is there that has a student body which will not participate in the various actixities of the school? There is none, and there never will be, as long as the opportunities are offered. In the best and most up-to-date high schools in the country, there is a sys- tem of extra-curricular activities, which tend to give character to the school. add to its attractions, kindle the interest of the pupils, supply them with a practical education and experience, and also help the school in its finances. These activities, exclusive of various sports, are the different school organiza- tions or clubs. Almot every department in a high school could organize a club for the purpose of stiniu'ating interest in its subject and of making it possible for the students to apply the art studied. The English department, perhaps, has a chance to do most in this field. It could form a Dramatic Club the members of which could study drama and present plays throughout the whole year for entertainment. In this way, desired practice would be obtained, and a certain ami-un: of money collected. A Forum might also be formed from a group in- terested in oratory and debating. From the large number of students who usual- ly apply for membership in such a popular organization, a Debating Team could be organized and debates scheduled with other schools. Another possibility is a Journalism Class, formed by those who wish to excel later on in literary tields and newspaper writing. A school newspaper, issued weekly might well be the work of this class. The Commercial Department might possibly get a Commercial Club into operation, have the usual dues paid, interest aroused, entertainments scheduled. and money made for the club and school. The Orchestra and Gee Clubs, which usually go hand in hand. are pojvuhtr in any school. The possibility and practicability oi all these clubs in Plainfield High School is cvident, and one can easily see where, through them, many problems i-t the schoo', and especialTy in the sports, can be overcome with but little effort. Sue' cess in this new plan of clubs is assured by the way the Biology Club has pros- pere l. Because of the interest shown and the enthusiasm with which its works has been carried out, the club has been able to issue the Outdoor XYorld,' 17 TI-IE HERMIAD ' ' f -...- -495 monthly on time always, and with added improvements in each issue. A The financial condition of P. H. S. can be illustrated quite satisfactorily, xxiih a ittlc exaggeration, if we imagine our good school as a wounded wood- chuck or groundhog in winter. This winter of which I speak, the time from 1925-30, has been an infinitely long time and the groundhog has not been hi- bernating so long, of his own free will. No indeed: he would have left the place Cdebtsl long ago, if it hadn't been for a lot of dirt and gravel Cschool fi'-fbls and bill-D, uhi- h had blocked up the entrance to his burrow. But, one vxould naturally be inclined to say, I thought such an animal could dig through the earth. So it can, naturally. This groundhog, however, as I mentioned be- fore, was slightly injured, that is, his paws, fthe A. AJ because of some mis- fortune had been weakened and bruised, and his claws Cschool enthusiasmb were not Sharp enough to dig with good result. And so, because of the weak- ness of his paws and his nails the poor animal has been unable, during that long winter, to dig himself out of all the debts. Now, assuming that we comprehend the unfortunate predicament, P. H. S. is at some time or other in, can you not see where with added strength, with sharper enthusiasm, with a stronger A. A., and with the several clubs mentioned to share the duties heaped on the A. A. at present, enough money could be brought in at any time to extricate the hog from his hole, and to change him into a bird, carefree and easy, with a home tthose school debts! on which it ct-u'd sit, and not one u hich could sit on it, figuratively speaking, or entrap it, as in bygone years. This is but one of the advantages of clubs that might be men'ioncd. Coming, myself, from a well-known school in Massachusetts, the B. M. C. Durfec High School of Fall River, which had about ten different organizations such as the ones mentioned, I am able to produce here certain statistics which well represent the effectiveness of such bodies. An unfortunate accident happened one night: one of the branches of the school, a large technical building, was burned to the ground, which, strange as it may seem to some, caused great sorrow in the school. Eventually, two years later, a new building was raised on the same site. When it was completed, a fund was started to decorate the school, and purchase paintings, pictures, and small furnishings. At the beginning of the year all of the clubs immediately set to work, and instead of keeping all of the profits that they made, they do- nated part of them to the fund. The faculty of the school, after presenting a play, turned over to the principal, Sl26.30: the school newspaper contributed 5183.60 which it had collected by conducting a series of three candy sales in the school: the Commercial Club donated 3100.00 A prize-winning play netted 35000, another 51000: an evening class gave 33500, after conducting a sale of paintings, embroidery and millinery made by the students: the Forum gave 5907: the Institute, Sl3.83, and the interest on the sum was 51.72, making a total amount of 5529.52 at the end of the year. This does not represent all the THE HERMIAD 16 money raised by the clubs as some was kept in the club treasuries. Is it not evident that this suggestion is an important one, too beneficial in many ways to be turncd aside without a trial? Its possibilities and advantages, as connected with Plainfield High School, should be carefully judged, by teach- ers as well as by pupils. Plainfield High School will have a greater distinction in the future, its problems will not be so colossal, and the individual student, a possible member of each of the new clubs, will have a wider and more practical education, which will stand him in good stead in life, if only these activities are endorsed. WE THE CLASS OF 1930 CDonald C. Gallup-19301 They'll never say that we were falsely proud: That we weren't always loyal to our schoolg Or, when the praise for some great deed was loud, That these great minds were ever else than cool, For slander can't be carried 'gainst a class, Whose great repute, no false report can marg The only criticism to amass, Is that our members were too bright, by far. For four long years, we've worked and done our bit To make this school the very, very best: And when we leave, they know they'll be hard hit, To find, at all, our peers among the rest.. So, though they search this great wide world around, To equal us a class will not be found. C224 SELECTION FROM GENERAL INFORMATION LESSED is the Senior who walketh in the corridors of P. H. S., and fre- quenteth all of its classes, for his delight is in the law laid down by the Student Council and he studieth his lessons day and night. He shall be the model, set as an example to others, for he seeth all A's on his report cardg his brightness shall glow more brightly, and his cause shall continue to pros- per. The under classmen are not so: but are like unto the kindergarten children, who are not yet come to responsibility. Therefore, the under classmen cannot be compared with the Seniors, and are worthy only of scorn and contempt. For authorities recognize genius and can be only adverse to plain ignorance.

He is also a great handball enthusiast. Elmer chooses his friends among the divinity, for he is often seen with Angell. Silence is golden seems to be Elmer's motto. STANLEY CASIMER BALDYGA Too busy with the crowded hour to fear to live or die. -Emerson Stanley, who works as hard as he plays, is the busiest member of the class. He played three years on the football team and served as its manager for two, and also played guard on the basketball team. When he is not winning honors in athletics he may be seen picking away on his typewriter trying to win some more Underwood or Reming' ton medals. Perhaps the most important moments of his school life were during the commencement exercises of 1929, when he served as Junior marshal. EDWARD EMIL BELLAVANCE No matter what happened,-he grinned. -Guest. Eddie, a popular member of the class of 1930, is the champion otiice holder of P. H. S.g witness the fact that he has twice been class president, that last year he served as presFdent of the Athletic Association and this year of the Varsity Club, that in his Junior year he managed the base- ball team to success, and this year has performed the same service for the basketball team, and that he has been Alh' letic Notes Editor of the Hermiad. Eddie always sees the funny side of life, especially in English class. V THE HERMIAD I WALLACE JOHN BURNS Too innocent for coquetryg too fond for idle scorningf' -Noxfton. VVallace is the only truly hashful boy who has ever graced the halls of P. H. S., yet strange to relate he took the part of the sentimental Faulkland in the Senior Play and no- lfody could find anything to complain about. Burns is one of the star pitchers of the school, and appears to be our rrincipal devotee to hand-ball. He will probably become a disciple of the great Thomas Edison for his premier interest seems to be electricity. AUSTIN JAMES COUGHLIN f'Take all the swift advantage of the hours. -Shakespeare. This very industrious hard working student hails from Moosup. He seems to take a great delight in foreign lan- guages hecause he is always seen with either a French or a Latin hook in his hand. He has a subdued sense of humor. Although he does not participate in athletics, his attendance at the games is regular. EDWARD JOSEPH COUGHLIN. Mi th, with thee I mean to live. f-Mi ton. To this tall Senior, with dark eyes and curly hair, the world appears as one perpetual jokeg he takes nothing seriously'--not even Burke's Conciliation He served as the business manager of the 1929 Hermiad and did it so stzcce sfully that he was re-elected in 1930. He is an all- round athlete for he has proved his ability in basketball, hcseball and football. Eddie is a lad of whom Moosup should be proud. JOHN GALLUP DODGE K'--Stalwart form, a ruddy face, Vwlith honest Saxon hair. AThompson. Since John came to us in our Sophomore year, his unfailing good nature has made him a favorite among his classmates of both sexes. His versatility is shown in that he has been the capable and efficient president of the Student Council this year, successfully took the part of Honest John, the vegetable and fruit merchant in the Senior play, and, in spite of his athletic and social interests, has had his name often on the honor roll. His frequent visits to Central Village would seem to confirm our suspicions that he sees much attractive lore in CEP that neighborhood. WILLIAM JOSEPH FOX I'm a hold, bad man from the open wildsf'-Belasco. William Fox is a lad who hails from Sterling and who has :1 great fondness for western stories. His chief amusement for the past year has been pestering the commercial law teacher. Nevertheless he is a likeable chap and a loyal, helpful member of the class. Bill says that one of the greatest compensations for study is frequent vacations. THE HERMIAD EDXVARD JOHN GALLAGHER Tile unspoken word never does h3THX., fKOSFull1. Eddie, 'fSpeed, Gallagher, a faithful member uf the Class of '40, comes from Moosup and is one of the quietest boys a-roig us. During his Senior Year he went out for foot- lzall and re:eived his letter. This spring he will qualify for the track team. His favorite class is commercial law. We wonder why. DONALD CLIFFORD GALLUP Hlinowledge comes but wisdom lingers. YTennyson. Donald is the one truly ambitious boy in the class and his activities have been many. Ever since he entered Plain- field High School he has been obtaining highest honors regularly. As a Sophomore he led his class as president. and as a Senior he served as treasurer of the Athletic Associa- tion and as editor-in-chief of the Hermiad, His characteri- zat'ori of Sir Anthony Absolute in the Senior Play was greatly enjoyed. THOMAS SPARLING HARGREAVES H'I sy, old chap, h'I'm h'English. Tommy, or as he is better known, Red , claims Moosup as his permanent residenceg he is, however, frequently seen in the vicinity of Sterling Hill. He is a versatile lad, for he made h's letter in football, and has been out for basketball and baseball. Furthermore, he makes the honor roll very often. As the cockney coachman in the The Rivals, Tommy left nothing to be desired. He is the second member of t'e Siamese Twin, CReese-Hargreavesj combination. His un'ailing good nature has made him a general favorite with his classmates. WALTER HAUSERMANN . Why all this hustle and bustle? All will be the same ten years from now. -Selection. Moosup loaned us Hausy for four yearsg we wondered why until we saw him in football togs this last fall, We ex- pect him to make a good showing at track this spring. During study periods he usually can be seen strolling calmly down the corridors with a bland smile on his face. VVe hope to hear much from him in the years to come, for he expects to astcund the world, like Edison, with his electrical feats. LOL'lS JACOB LAFRANCE I am the State: I am l.a France. -- Louis Xlll. Louis came to us in our Senior year from Assumption Follege, Worcester. He is a basketball player of no mean ability, and as assistant basketball manager has proved verv efficient. His chief delight is to return home from bas- ketball trips in the opposite car. Louis was one of the owtstanding figures in the Senior Play. During his spare time he pleases all feminine creatures and is ever ready to argue on most subjects with his associates. THE HERMIAD JOHN JOSEPH LYONS A lion FUNOYIH women is a dreadful thing. eShakespeare John Joseoh L on f , y s, amfliarly called VVocf, is knawn for his love of both outdoor and indoor sports. For three Years he has been a member of the Student Council. As Sir Lucius O'Trigger in the Senior Play he gave evidence of latent vocal talent which wow him great applause and which he h '- e I as smce developed by late afternoon practice in the corridors of Plainfield High School. STANLEY JOSEPH MALEK A man is never so happy as when he is talking. -Selected. Malek, who comes from Jewett C't ' ny, is a very studious person. He is an outstanding athleteg he won his letter in football last fall, was a member of the basketball squad. and this spring is playing baseball as well as managing the team. He showed his dramatic talent as Mr. Fag in the Senior Play and is an A-1 violinist as any orchestra re- hearsal ' ' ' proves. His never failing sense of humor surely stands him in good stead. JEAN EDWARD MARCHESSEAULT VVho is so deafe or so blinde as is he That wilfully will neither heare nor see ---Heywood. Jean, who spent his Freshman and Sophomore years at Assumption College, is nearly always in good humor. Indeed his joyful stunts often cause him to laugh in classes and he is so mischievous that he tests the patience of his teachers. He acted his part in the Senior Play very well. Although he does not participate in Athletics he supports the teams as any loyal P. H. S. student should. HAROLD JOHN MONTY ' I am not in the roll of common men. Shakespeare. VVe have often wondered why this youth is called Duck, for short, possibly it is because of his fondness for HZO. His pleasing smile is never absent from his beaming coun- tenance except in English class. Duck has demonstrated his school spirit by going out for football, baseball and track. He frequently makes the trip from P. H. S to ' As far as we know no member able to -captivate his attentions, Sterling by shank's mare. of- the fair sex has been but is he as innocent as he looks? MATTHEW ANDREW MROZ It is the wise head that makes the still tongue. -Lucas. A quiet boy from Moosup whose favorite occupation seems to be plugging his part of the line in football, Matthew was one of best linemen on the team this year. In advanced math class he is always heard giving his ideas on some partfcularly hard problem. He is a ten minute P. T. leader this year and is making a big success of it. Although he is not Irish, he can easily get his Irish up. THE HERMIAD MARCEI. STEVEN PLANCHON I am Monarch of all I survey My right there is none to dispute. -Cowper Marcel, the brown eyed Plainfield youth, has missed his calling. Surely he should have been a cowboy from the wild and wooly west, with a piebald horse, sombrero and chaps, rfeverything, for if Planchon could break horses one half as well as he can break rules and regulations he would put Tom Mix in the dark. Neverthelegs Plartchon, with his generous and loyal spirit, is one of the most popular boys in school. He usually carries refreshments at all times of th-e day, and the other boys seem to know it. Ile attmds all the high school activities and is a loyal and hearty sup- porter. ERVIN JOSEPH POGNVIST Ob! that malicious, mischievous boy. -Y-Miss Violettc Blond hair, blue eyes and that school girl complexion, eall that constitute a baby face, Our friend from Moosup, al- though very angelic and babyish appearing, holds his own against any other male in the class. He received his letter as a result of wonderful football playing: his acting ahility well liked by all because of her pleasing ways ,and ready smile. She is studying to be a stenographer and we all wish her success in the business world. was well displayed when he took the part of David in the Senior Play. Although not always the one to play the joke on someone, he manages to be there when any prank is about to be executed. VVe all wish Ervin luck in the future and sincerly trust he will be a success as a salesman for Palmolive Soap. FRANK ADAM POLEXVACZIK Good nature is stronger than tomahawksf'-Emerson Frank, or Poly as he is known to the student corps of P. H. S., comes to us from Jewett City. He is famous in the annals of P. H. S. having been a threesletter man in sports and a class officer Ile is the treasurer of the student and like many of '30, he is always ready for with the girls. His familiar in Sept. 1930, especially by of '3l. in his junior and senior years. class of 1930. Poly is a good his companions in the class of a joke. He is also quite a hand figure will be missed in the nalls a girl called Izzy of the class JAMES ALLEN PRATT From morning till night, 'tis my delight: To fish and to fish, without stopping. Jim, otherwise known as the school aviator, comes from the wilds of Moosup Lake, and has never been known to be late because he is always hurrying. Jim is by disposition and preference a fisherman, but he is an athlete as well for he earned his football letter in his Final year. He and his cheerful smile will be sadly missed at Plainfield High School. VVILLIAM JOHN PYE There is great ability in being able to conceal one's ahility. -I.a Rochefoucauld. Billy is a quiet, shy, studious young man from Plain- tield. He has been a loyal supporter of his class for four years. He likes to potter around in the chemistry labcra- tory, and demoralizes the class hy having his experiments written up on time. VVe trust he realizes his chemical as- pirations. NYC do not know much about him outside of school but we have our suspicions. THE HERMIAD VVALTER REESE Ulf all seconds were as averse to duels as their principals, very little blood would be shed in that way. -Colton. Vl'alter is one of the most popular boys of the Senior Class, and his ready wit has often livened many a weary lfour. His black hair and dark sparkling eyes have caused much havoc among the feminine portion of the school. VVe will always remember him for his excellent portrayal of Fighting Bob Acres in the Senior Play. VVILLIAM JOHN ROMANOFF 'fSecret and self-contained and solitary as an oyster.' Hot Dogf' as he is known to a few of his closest .ac- quaintances, hails from the wilrls of Canterbury, As he is a quiet sort of a chap whose favorite pose is an imitation oi The Thinker and as he is not given to breaking into a crowd, he is not as well known as some others in the class. His favorite occupation is keeping the keys on a typewriter in motion and owing to this fact he has won many typing pins. He is considered the best speller in the commercial department. He is an honor pupil and usually manages to excel in English. PAUL WESLEY SHIPPEE The thing of beauty is a joy forever. -Keats. Handsome, debonair, smiling, yet cynical withal, our Paul from Sterling is perhaps the most popular boy in the class. An athlete of prominence, he has been captain of the football team, captain and catcher of the baseball team and one of the best basketball players the school has ever had. Surely it will be hard to raise some one to Fill his place. JOHN THOMAS WEAVER Two heads are better than one. -Heywood. John, alias Pat, who hails from the metropolis of Cen- tral Village, is rarely seen without his better half, Wizzy. Pat was once a bashful boyg we wonder why his road work between, Wauregan, Moosup. and Central has changed him. Some day we shall see him managing a chain store in the town of Plainfield. EDWARD JOSEPH WIEZBICKI Then he will talkeye gods! How he can talk. --Tarkington Did someone mention wise cracks? YVhy, Wizzy was the primeval squirrel that cracked the first nut. An opponent, after a dispute with VVizzy, finds himself in a complete daze. VVizzy's chief ambition is to be an orator. He is noted in school for his ability to find an argument over everything in general and nothing in particular. THE HERMIAD EMIL JALO WUORIO I-'ainth eart never won fair lady. ACervantes. Emil is a living example of the truth of the saying quoted above, for Moosup is an attractive place and you can get there if you will, Son. Emil is one of the popular boys ln the class of 1930. He plays on the basketball and football teams, is an ambitious physical trainer-ask his leaders- zind is a great help to his teachlers, generally. We think he will become an admirable photographerg witness thatnhe even unselfishly sacrificed his class time to aid Mr. Pappayion.

T. leader. Her name is rre- quently found on the honor roll. We learn that some day Bessie inthends to become a school mam, She will surely rule with an iron rod, ELIZABETH BAKER VVhatc-'re she looks on pleases her. -Browning. E'izabeth Baker, alias Betty, is one of our most promising students. During her four years with us we have never leard Betty report unprepared in any class, for she is an honor pupil, the joy of her teachers, and the envy of her classmates.

DAISY MAY DAWLEY No solemn sanctimonious face I pull. -Hood. Daisy, who is known for her sunny disposition, represents Mcosup in the commercial department of P. H. S. If you find the main room quiet it is quite certain that Daisy is not present. She, Fidelis, Claire, and Amelia form an i.i- separable quartette. Daisy showed her oratorical ability when she spoke in the Junior Speaking Contest. Although she does not participate in athletics, her school spirit cannot be questioned. DORIS MARY DRUKENBROD She is shy and of Friendship sure, Auburn locks and eyes dernuref' -Palgrave. Doris, the champion salesman of P. H.

H. S. iu cvroam. She it is who will bring musical honors to the :lass of 1930, for she has a sweet, singing voice and has studied vocal culture for some years. And can she remem- lger big words! Ask anyone who attended The Rivals, in which production she took the part of Mrs. M:-,laprop. CATHERINE JANICE FLETCHER The fairest garden in her looks And in her mind the wisest books. -Cowley From a distant section, even from Oneco, comes one of our most enthusiastic pupils whose favorite occupation is helping her neighbor. Kitty's distinguishing characteristic is an occasional, and also an unexpected, giggle in a silent classroom. For four years she has studied hard and always made good at Plainfield High. MARY VIVIENNE FLETCHER The cheek is apter than the tongue, To tell an errandf'-Shakespeare. Vivienne hails from the big town of Oneco. Though she is a very studious young lady, she always finds time for a little fun, and always greets us with a smile and a joke. Vivienne's name usually appears on the honor roll. MILDRED LEONA GOLDBERG I love tranquil solitude And such society As is Quiet, wise, and good. -Shelley Mildred is one of the leading disciples of Daniel Webster. Her grace and ease in the noble art of speaking have light- ened more than one assembly program and as the cos- tume prologue speaker of the Senior Play she was all that anybody could desire.

H. S.

She has also been a member of the Hermiad Board, She won second prize in the speaking contest and her skill in acting she proved in the Senior Play by taking the part of the leading lady. There would be no honor roll unless Helen's name appeared there. Helen was once vers- ed in the Bellavance line, but now the question is XVho Paul? TACY DIANA LINCOLN VVhatever is popular deserves attention. -Mackintosh Tacy came to us in our Junior year and hy her cheerful disposition and her ready smile gained great popularity among her classmates, although her ill-health has some- what limited her activities. According-to rumor Tacy has centered her interests on the theological section of the vicin- ity of Providence. We certainly wish her luck. CLARISSA ALLEBAUGH LORING She maintained a discreet silence. -Milton Of Clarissa we may well say still waters run deep for she is very quiet, but so steady and dependable tnat one always knows where to find her.

It has been rumored that Georgie's chief interests are centered in her home town, Packer, and personally we do not blame herg most girls are partial to flivvers. Beside being an honor student, Georgie,' has been active in the Glee Club three years. We feel sure success will follow her through her chosen career as a teacher.

Mary is the rosy-checked lassie from Moosup. The cos' meticians will never become rich from what she pays them for she has the bloom that will not wash off and the most permanent of permanents. She should have been named Pollyanna because she is always there with a smile. It is earnestly hoped that Normal School will not succeed in breaking up the trio of Mary, Vivienne, and Catherine.

THE VARSITY CLUB In December a new student organization was formed under the leadership of Mr. T. F. Monaghan. It took for its name the Varsity Club, and its mem- bership consists of the male students who have earned a letter in athletic sports. The club will act as a standing committee to advance all sports and to help in the raising of money for athletic purposes. Beginning with this year i THE HERMIAD 35 the club will compile all athletic records. One of the reasons for the founding of this club was to make the winning of an athl- tic letter mean more to the winner and to have it more highly respected by the student body. In general the club hopes to further the purposes of athletics in the school and be an aid to the Athletic Association. , The oflicers of the Varsity Club are: President . ,,.. , ...,. ,. . , . ..., , Edward Bellavance Vice-President ., Paul Shippee Secretary ,......... .....,........ . . ..,.,.... ,.......,. , .. Frank Polewaczik THE GLEE CLUB The Glee Club, one of the ol.lest organizations nf the high school, for the last two years has been under the direction of the music teacher, Miss Bouvier. Its members, Freshman and Sophmore girls, have held their meetings Friday afternoons after school. Their frequent appearances in assemblies have been appreciated by the school in general. XVC hope that some year the boys of the school may be proud to have a similar organization.. THE SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Under the splendid and appreciated direction of Mr. johnson, the school orchestra has made excellent progress during the year. The orchestra, con- sisting of fourteen members, first played for us at the Thanksgiving assembly. It has furnished part of the program at each succeeding asseinbly and gave an enjoyable evening of music at the Senior Play. We hope that their efforts will be continued.

THE JUNIOR PROMENADE The annual junior promenade was held Friday, February twenty-first, at the Community House in Plainfield. The customary grand march was led by the odicers of the class: Charles Lafreniere, President, Isabelle Heneault, Vice- Presidentg Hilliard Smith, Secretary, Eva Bellavance, Treasurer. The hall was tastefully decorated in modernistic design by Louis A. Lamothe of Plainfield. Prince Kavanaugh and his Earl Vanities' Orchestra furnished the music for THE HERMIAD the evening. The patrons and patroncsses were Supt. and Mrs. John L. Chap- man, Miss Josephine S. Armstrong, Mr. and Mrs. Adelard Heneault, Mr. and Mrs. IfVilliam Bellavance and Mr. and Mrs. Hilliard Smith. The assistance and supervision of the advisor of the class, Miss Helen Cronin. contributed much toward the success of this great social event. SCHOOL DANCES In the early part of November, the social life of Plainfield High School opened with a dance given by the class of l930 in the school auditorium. The dance was well attended and the class treasury received a considerable sum. Polly and her Pals furnished the music for the evening. Shortly after the Senior dance another one was held, this one being spon- sored by the Junior Class. Again Polly and her Pals appeared to give the au- dience an enjoyable evening. With the establishing of the new Varsity Club came another dance under the auspices of this society, with music furnished by D'Artri's orchestra of Norwich. The dance was well attended and the club turned the money into the treasury of the Athletic Association. GIRLS' BASKETBALL PARTY The evening of Tuesday, April 22nd, members of the girls' basketball squad held a party in the gymnasium. Games and dancing were enjoyed followed by a weenie roast. FACULTY ACTIVITIES During the past year the high school faculty has been active in raising money for the Athletic Association. In May 1929, a most successful Bridge and VVhist was given under their direction in the school auditorium. A month later at the Plainlield Community House they presented the play Come Out of the Kitchen. The money raised by these two activities was added to the Athletic Field fund. February 12, 1930, a second Bridge and Whist sponsored by the faculty was given at the high school for the benent of the Athletic Association. As was the case last year, prizes were donated by local merchants and friends. ASSEMBLIES Assemblies, this year as heretofore, have been under the supervision oi the head of the English Department, but a committee of Seniors was chosen to select speakers for different occasions. Appropriate programs were given for the following holidays: Columbus Day, Armistice Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and Lineoln's Birthday. At different THE HERMIAD 5-8 assemblies typing medals and certihcates have been given to commercial stu- dents, and at the Christmas assembly letters were awarded to deserving foot- ball players. The first talk from one of the faculty was given by Miss Violette, on an linglish topic. Her speech was much appreciated as was shown by the ap- plause from the student body. The program on March 3, was a debate by members of the Modern History classes on the question: Resolved: That the Cabinet form of government is preferable to the Presidential form. Girls took the afhrmative, boys the nega- tive. The judges declared the negative winners. On several occasions special assemblies were called in order that the stu- dents might have the opportunity' of listening to speakers from outside the school. Our First speaker was Dr. Rudman of Springfield, representing Bay-Path College, who gave us an interesting talk on the general subject, The value of a definite aim in life. This was Dr. Rudman's fourth visit to our high school and he was heartily welcomed by the students. Late in the fall, an assembly was given over to Mr. E. A. Lees of the Cur- tiss Publishing Company. After an interesting talk, he started a sales campaign and divided the school into two teams, Seniors and Sophomores against Juniors and Freshmen. The total amount of money received from this campaign was 53800. Prizes were awarded to pupils who sold a number of magazines. During the hrst week of March another sales campaign was conducted by the school. This one was introduced by Mr. Smith of the Crowell Publishing Company. Two teams were organized under the leadership of commercial stu- dents, a red team headed by Hilda Morgan, a blue team led by Emil Wuorio. The campaign proved to be an interesting one and the blue team defeated the red. Stanley Baldyga and Stanley Luty were head managers of the affair. The goodly sum of 385.25 was realized by the Athletic Association. In order to help the A. A. to the fullest extent, pupils deserving prizes agreed not to take them. April 8 Mr. Milton I. Shlagcnhauf of Northeastern University gave the boys of the school an interesting and thought-provoking talk on the subject What's in a name. Throughout his talk he repeated constantly these two questions: Are you building in your life a small garage, an ordinary house or a towering sky scraper? Are you laying a six inch or a six foot foundation or are you making your foundation deep? April 9, Miss Altman, instructor of nurses at Lawrence and Memorial Hos- pital, New London, spoke to the girls on Nursing as a vocation, giving them much information about the opportunities in the profession, the requirements for the prospective student and the choice of a school. Miss Altman was ac- companied by Eunice Cook, Plainheld High School 1929, who is a student nurse 39 THE HERMIAD at Lawrence and Memorial. She was in uniform and spoke to the girls about her life at the hospital. After the general talk, those girls intending to take up nursing, remained for personal conferences with Miss Altman. The first two periods on Monday, April 14, were devoted to a special as- sembly, conducted by Miss Violette. Officers and members of the Student Coun- cil spoke to the student body on the matter of the continuation of the student government. A general discussion followed and presidents of all four classes voiced their opinions. The students voted to continue student government and to co-operate with the present officers. LECTURE On the evening of October 16, 1929, the public had the opportunity of hear- ing Miss Lottie Tillotson lecture on the modes, manners of living and dress of the Hawaiians. After the lecture the audience was given a chance to examine relics, dresses and notions which Miss Tillotson had with her.

BASEBALL SEASON HE Plainfield High School 1929 baseball team had hnished what might he termed a fairly successful season. Thrre were few veterans on the squad, therefore, many new and inexperienced players had to he used. Despite this fact the locals were ahle to win five of their thirteen contests, and two of these victories were against Killingly High School. VVith an all-veteran team for the 1930 season Plainheld should be ahle to make many of her opponents sit up and take notice. Paul Shippee, Plainnelds catcher for the past three years, will he with the team for the last time. He will again act as captain and Coach Dysart will drill the hoys for his second sea- son at Plainfield High School. 1929 Summary P, H. S. Opponents 0 ..,,.

The schedule consisted of six games, only two of which were played at home on the new held. By using a well-drilled aerial attack, Plainfield succeeded in defeating her two oldest and bitterest rivals, Killingly and Putnam, thereby becoming the un- disputed champinns of the Quinebaug Valley League. She was also victorious over Pomfret and the Norwich Free Academy Seconds, but lost to Chapman Tech. and Warwick. Both defeats were due mainly to the superior strength and size of the opponents. The Orange and Black received her first set-back against Chapman Tech. after winning from Killingly and Pomfret. This game was, by far, the most thrilling and hardest-fought battle of the season. The New London boys re- ceived the surprise of their lives when their lighter, though faster, opponents held them to a tie until the middle of the last quarter. At this point Plainfield fumbled twice to lose the ball on her own three-yard line. Chapman Tech bucked the line for three downs without gaining an inch. How those youngsters were fighting to prevent a score! It seemed as though they would succeed. lt was the last down, the New London quarterback received the ball and hurled a short forward-pass to one of his ends. The pass was completed and the ball had gone over. In the next few minutes Chapman Tech scored again on an intercepted forward-pass and the game ended, 19 to 7. Of the thirty-eight players, twenty-two were under-classmen who will be available next fall. Much credit for the success of the team should be given to its coach, T. Francis Monaghan. Summary P. H.

The squad of thirty-five men which reported was cut down to fifteen by the first game. Plainfield's season cannot be considered a successful one as she has won only three games. In Her other games she showed a very good brand of basketball, with good passing and fine teamwork, but lost the games mainly because of lack of a determined fighting attack. On this year's team were several underclassmen, who will be back next year to form the nucleus of the squad. Stanley Luty '31 XValter Collins '31 Summary P. H. S. 20 ..,.. .........,...,..

Under the excellent supervision of the new coach, Miss Morrill, the girls' sextet has experienced many a hard battle. In the early part of the season the team was set back owing to the fact that it was inexperienced and had only two veteran players. The Hrst game was away from home on the Putnam floor and it, as well as the return game with Putnam, proved to be two of the most ex- citing ever payed by the Plainfield girls. This year the sextet had the privilege of playing the newly formed team of Tourtellotte. Upon their own floor Tourtellotte defeated the Orange and Black by one point: on their arrival at Plainfield they found that the Plainfield lassies really were superior to their team. In both games the players were handicapped because of rules peculiar to a strange Hoor. Summary P. H. S. Opponents . ,,.....

In the second game of the series, the Junior boys beat the Seniors, 18 to 14, the Senior girls scored over the Sophomore girls, 19 to 3. The tinal games resulted in victory for the Junior boys over the Sophomores, 8 to 45 and for the Senior girls over the Juniors, 14 to 5.

The most interesting part of this study is the experimenting in the laboratory. A short while ago I re- mained in the laboratory after the other pupils had finished their work. VVith me was a tall lanky friend of mine. As usual we began to mix the various acids and other solutions and liquids which were on the shelves. We were always try- ing to get an explosion from these mixtures. This day we had unusual, and un- fortunate, luck. We were both bending over the desk, intent on our fun, when the mixture which we had made gave a hissing sound and a stream of foam shot into the air, or rather onto us. My partner escaped without any serious acci- dent but the foam went ak over me. The result was that for ten minutes of fun I had sacrificed one new sweater, one perfectly good pair of trousers and niy only pair of shoes. Now I have made a resolution to tinker no more and have found the proverb, He who plays with fire will be burnt, to be true. To this I have added one of my own which is, He who plays with chemicals will be chemicalizedf' WE WONDER WHY Paul Shippee is always singing, Evangeline Mildred Sykes likes a Lyon for a pet.

THE BARON'S DEFEAT CMillicent Goyette-19325 The Baron was motoring from Webster in his Lincoln one day, to see the W'ilde Rose of his Hart's desire. As he was going down a Hill his Geer meshed, and he had to Park'er near a Green Wood. Farmer Wilcox came by, riding his Hawes at a Gallup. The farmer gave him a lift and as they neared the gate they saw a Whipple equipped with Milligan tires parked there. Sitting on the gate was Leaping Lena holding Bob, the dog, by a Leach. She also was eating a Cone of Ice-cream. He went into the kitchen and he saw the Cook fighting with Williams, the Butler, over a bottle of Fletchcr's Castoria, which all babies cry for. Then in came the Baker, White as death. When questioned he stammered, I've just seen Plassmann shrinking an inch. As the gentleman passed into the hall the Carpenter, who was a Roode fellow, playfully dropped his hammer and as he passed out the Baron saw his beloved in the arms of Lamothe, the Sheik.

AS THE PHYSIOLOGY TEACHER READS School teaching is believed by some to be a very ordinary, drab sort of existence. However that may be, we often Gnd that some juicy morsels of information fall in the way of the wizened and parched brain of the pedagogue. It does make a teacher thoughtful when he Ends such ideas as these on his pupils' papers. The teeth on the walls of the oesophagus continue to push down the food with chewing movements, and, as if that weren't bad enough, he continues to read that food is masticated in the intestines by the rectum and goes on to find that the large intestine is 20 yards in length. Food, strangely enough, is masticated in the stomach by the pancreas -and, in the mouth by the pharynx. The pupil, not thinking this explanation complete, continues with more strange processes. The waste material on the walls of the oesophagus continues to push down the food with bowel movements. Another young blood must have had his great-grandfather in mind when he wrote, The skeletal sys- tem is made of 200 old bones. and why speak of bones? for, 'fthe skeletal system is made up of more than mere bones! And furthermore, together with these tremendous strides in science that we behold on every hand, modern youth is becoming more and more precocious and perspicuousf' As a dietitian, one casually remarked that Fats are found in such as butter and hogs, and went on to say that Proteins are found in fat, while an aspiring young electrician upon being informed that north and south poles repel each other, pricked up her ears and queried, Is that what makes the world go 'round?

BLACK AND WHITE CATS Rowena Smith-l93l This story begins as all stories begin, once upon a time there was-This time it happened to be a young man. He was called a man simply because he was of ageg otherwise he was what one might call very sissified. He was spoken of as Hthe politest man, which certainly htted him. He was so polite that it was almost tragic. VVhether right or wrong, he would take the blame by, please pardon me, and, how carless of me, or I beg your most humble pardon. He had bright pink cheeks, wore glasses, slicked his hair back, car- ried a cane, polished his fingernails and wore a derby hat. He, was bashful and timid even among men and it was pitiful to see him in the presence of a lady. His cheeks glowed into the color of a dark red rose. No one ever knew and no one will probably ever know how the following incident happened, but he really had a date to call on a girl, most likely she asked him to call and he could not refuse, for politeness' sake. He dressed in his best, put on his derby and hung a cane on his arm, then stepped, blushing, into the awaiting buggy and rode off. The moon shone very brightly, and as he rode on in his carriage he saw an old cat with six little ones. Cats were his weakness, so he asked his horse to kindly stop, and let him out. He wished to pet the dear. sweet things. He stepped in among the seven of them-he was well guarded on eyery side-when. much to his surprise, he found they were not cats. as he had suspected, but skunks, every one of them. He began to beg their most humble pardon, but to add to his amazement they did not listen. Hurriedly, for once, he jumped into the carriage, but alas! he was too late, and his first date just woefully waited-and in vain. Q.

VVe are privileged to print here extracts from a letter written by Sie la Lafrance March 7, 1930 from Kirkuh, Iraq. Miss Lafrance, as is inentonee elsewhere in the Alumni Notes, has been spending the winter in Baghdad and has taken some very interesting side trips. I left Blaghdad yesterday A. M. at 9:45 in a Rolls-Royce. Imagine driving into what was formerly part of the ancient Assyrian Ifmplre in a Rolls, a nine year old one to be sure, but a Rolls-,Royce just the same.-I carried only my small black bag, but the others in the party had what look.d to me like a camp- ing kit. It probably was, too, for in this country one can never tell what is going to happen and on a long trip 0116 always has bedding. VVe started due East into the desert toward the Town of Bakuba. In thi.- d-istance, about 140 miles away, the snow-covered mountains of Persia soon appeared. We went around Bakuba and into a small town, Del-Tarvah I believe Anyway, it's a small Arab village, with a dirty, covered bazaar thru which it didn't seem to me we could pass. But we did. For m'lc3 aftervfa:'d we drow- thru plainsg the farther we went the more plentiful grass seemed to get. the flocks of sheep were bigger as well as flocks of donkeys fare they reterro' to as Hocks?j Any number of black tribe's tents, sometimes as many as twelve or fifteen grouped together. Camels, of course, ugly. proud beasts they are. At 1:30 we reached Injanah, an oil camp situated on a high crag overlooking the plain over which we had come. After Inianah we went to Luz. the center of the Iraq petroleum oil fields It is a terribly desolate place. From there on the road was terrible. The plain has a network of wadis, that is river beds. usually very na'-row. Some of them are deep enough to be bridged-bridges built of mud often. which softens in the rain and becomes dangerous. Most of theses ditches are not bridged. how- ever, so it is a case of nosing the car down into it and then up and over, just as in a trench. We crossed one wadi called Tank-Chi, about one quarter of a mile wide, but dry except in one spot. This particular wadi is dangerous be- cause when there has been rain in the mountains the water rushes down and without a moment's notice washes everything along with it. Some time ago a car full of people was washed away in this fashion. As we reached the strear' part of the wadi, a car was stuck just as it was about to come out onto the slight bank. The stream was as wide as some parts of the Moosup River and we crossed ity fortunately the water was shallower than it appeared. The next wadi was narrower but deeper, the water going over our wheels. S3 THE HERMIAD The mud Turkoman villages we passed were much cleaner than the Arab villages found in and about Baghdad. VVe had to speed to reach Kirkuh before dark. As we kept getting farther north, the bare Persian crags were purple and pink against the blue and white snow topped mountains behind. The city was quite impressive as we approached just after sunset when the lights were coming on. It reminded me of some French medieval town, with a stone arched bridge crossing over to a citadel-appearing sort of town on the right. There are about twenty Europeans in this town of twenty thousand Tur- comans and Kurds. The houses are more solidly built than those of the southern Arabs, with rambling courtyards and stairways. Rooms into which you step down, long, and the walls cut up by niches. This morning I walked about the town. Some veiled women unveiled and stopped where I was, to examine me properly. One was old and very friendly lookingg she smiled and I would have given anything to be able to talk with her. I may have been the first white woman she had ever seen. Later we drove to an oil well which has just been started. Our visit was a short and tragic one. We watched the pipe drilling for a few minutes, then one of the drillers said they were going to add to the drill and told us to get outside the well-framing, which looks like a wind- mill frame. I had just snapped a picture when there was a little commotion. One of the ropes had fouled, the heavy long pipe sort of swung wildly inside the frame where the coolies were, hit one of them squarely on the side of the head and he fell dead almost at our feet. It was awful! The coolies watching didnft seem to mind a bit. This man's death was decreed by Allah and there's no need lamenting about it. Up farther, near the refinery we saw several holes where natural gas was escaping and burning. This place is supposed to be the furnace fire into which Daniel and his companions were thrown.-Daniel's tomb is here in Kirkuh: I shall try to see that before leaving, as well as a very old Chaldean church. Yesterday we had tea in Dr. Watson's garden. What a spot! It corresponds much more to my idea of Arabian Nights than do Baghdad houses, with this exception, that here there is no coloring whatever. The houses are all mud- colored, whereas in Baghdad the domes of mosques are covered with colored Persian tiles. The wooden balconies and pillars in courtyards are painted light blue, light green and light yellow, so, though one can't say they are colorful. there is color which isn't found here. Dr. Watson's garden has orange trees, palm clumps, narcissus which is allowed to grow about in no regular fashion around trees, against buildings. A narrow steam winds around, in and out of both courtyards. Here and there an arched bridge, small and made of mud and stone. Outside stairwaysg low, arched rooms, with heavy, squatty columns, reminding one of lower rooms in medieval castles of France, rooms which might be used as chapels. The whole spot is very, very picturesque. Speaking of Howersg tulips grow wild here, as well as narcissus, the most fragrant I ever smelled. It rained during the night. I'm wondering what fate awaits me. The roads to Sulaimana will undoubtedly be impassible. I should think those to Mosul THIS HERMIAIJ 64 would be bad. There may cvcn be a washout on the railroad from hcrc to Baghdad, so therc's no knowing how long I shall be held up here.
