It affords not only niuch needed e x e r c i s e, but also much enjoyment, a new interest, and spare money. No one who has not trapped realizes just how fascinating this out docr work is, how interesting it is to get acquainted with our wocd-folk friends and their ways. Trapping cannot be termed easy work. It is quite the opposite, there are endless tasks to be done before a trapper has a pelt home on a stretchf' The most discouraging failures on the trap line are caused by same slight essential overlooked, or by scme trifling detail overdone. To be successful, a trapper should know every detail in the life of the furbearer he traps, and in this way he will know just what to expect of his future prisoner. Skunks-they are the animals that I most frequently trap-live in den: in rccky, hilly sections rather than on the cpen plains. In some of the Central States, owing to the rocky and uneven land, they are, it is said, the ntost numerous of all fur-bearing anintals. They live invariably in undergroun-'l burrows, under rock ledges, 'cn rocky hillsides, under barns, abandoned buildings and haystacks, in old woodchuck 'holes, under upturned tree rcots in the fields and wocds. At night they travel around in the open fields, alcng ponds and streams, in search of food. They eat a variety of foodsg birds, eggs, reptiles, insects, grasshoppers. If they have once acquired the taste for chicken they are a nuisance around a poultry yard. The most tempting bait for the skunk is the kind with an odor ts it, tainted meat, frogs, birds and fish are the mcst successful of all. ' The skunk is usually caught in traps set at the entrance of his den, however trap-pens along the trail and dead-falls in gapways are equally important to set. If about to set a trap, I first learn whether a den is occupied or not. This I can easily find out by observing the mouth of the entrance to the burrcw. A skunk, in going in and out of his hcle, usually leaves some odor as well as some long black and white hairs. A beaten trail leading to the den is another indication that the burrow is occupied. As a final test I sometimes place a few sxrall sticks lightly across the entrance, if these are knocked down within a few days, I am sure something is occupying the den and I act accordingly. The next step is to set the trap. The most common mistake among amateur skunk trappers is setting the trap too far down into the animal's den, so that the skunk, crawling out, will strike the pan with his stomach, leave a few hairs, and be on his way again while the unfortunate trapper is very much puzzled and disappointed. I first dig out a. little hollow fcr the trap to rest in, so that when covered over slightly with leaves cr soil it will 8 THE HERMIAD be level with the ground. After setting the trap I place it so that its jaws will be parallel with the sides of the burrow, that the skunk may be secure-ly caught. I then fasten the chain to a nearby log, or stake it into the groun. in such a way as will not permit the animal to get back into its den, for the skunk can be killed easily if it cannot get back into the hole. In setting a dead-fall I pick out a gapway which looks as though a skunk might run that way. I usually use white birch or walnut wood for my sticks and choose a suitable rock, one which is wide, smooth, heavy, and well shaped. I then place the bait on the bait-stick under the stone and connect it with the binder which is fastened around the up-holders. As soon as the animal touches the bait, the bait-stick falls from the binder, causing the rock to fall on the animal's head, instantly killing him. Another an i ma li that I trap is the muskrat, as muskrats are quite numerous about two and one half miles fromi my home. He is easiest to trap and his fur is mast valuable in the spring of the year. Spring, in tne trapping sense, means frcm February to May. The disadvantages in spring muskrat trapping are that it is impossible for me to watch my sets Without a boat, and spring floods often spoil many good sets. Stream muskrats live in burrows in the banks of streams, lakes or ponds and are easily caught by setting traps in the entrances to the burrows. Others live in houses built in the water and they are harder to reach for the houses nnust be carefully studied and the main entrance must be found out. The easiest way to trap those living in the streams is to set the trap on the inside of their houses. As this is unlawful in Connecticut I place the trap at the side of their houses in about three or four inches of water. The trap is staked down with ancther stick about six inches beyond the first, so that the trapped animal will wind around the outer stake and drown. I also set traps on bogs in the water, over a trail where the muskrats are accustomed .to ga. Such traps are as effective as the house-traps provided the animals do visit the bogs. Frequently unbaited traps will catch mink ami raccoon. I sometimes trap weasel, mink, and fox, but I have not been so success- ful with them as with muskrats and skunks. The trapping of a mink cr a fox is difficult and complicated, because both animals are very crafty and very shy. The fox, belonging as it does to the dog family, has mire intelligence than any other animal with the exception, perhaps, of the wolf and the coyote, and the trapper who wishes to be successful with this clever creature must leave no human signs behind him. Minks live in dens, hollow logs, sometimes in old muskrat burrows, their homes are usually near water. Moreover, they are ramblers. They delight in following banks and streams and often do not return to their old homes. To locate their favorite haunts is a diificult task far the trapper. Such is trapping! If every person who thinks trapping is ridiculous could go with me on my trap line for a few times, perhaps his ideas would THE HERMIAD 9 change. I-Icw interesting it is to watch each animal's efforts to build up a home for himself and for his family! Sometimes I wonder at the almost human intelligence displayed! People ask, What enjoyment do you get cut of walking five miles through heavily wooded sections or over open, rocky hillsides? All that I can say is that I find nothing more enjoyable than learning the ways of the wild fclk and being nearer to nature. Perhaps I'm eb ROYAL ami a romanticist at heart. Who knows? Llsidore Messier, 19313 F COURSE ycu do not know who Royal Rita isp nor do you know where she is from or how she came to be. If you will be patient, 1 will tell you all. It seems that a certain teacher discovered that she was carrying on a tremendous amount cf correspondence. There were business letters, class work, choice clippings, and, all put together, there really was too much work fer one person to do well. It became clear to Miss 0verworked that some- thing had to be done to avert the avalanche of work that was sure to come over her. Possibly she did not like to assunte all the responsibility of the work and decided tc look for relief from some source or other. She might have employed a private secretary, but same people do not care to have them. They may leave chewing gum and lipstick around the place, and you never can tell who your secretary is anyway. This idea was eliminated. Be it as it may, Rita came as a surprise to the whole schocl. The first time I saw her was in English class. When she made her first appearance, she had on a beautiful black dress of a glossy, satinlike finish. She wore an cdd necklace about her slim neck. This necklace seemed to be a printed affair. I could not see it very well from my seat, but it was something resembling gcld letters. As I observed her there, held spellbound by her unusual grace and majestic poise, I caught the meaning of thcse letters. Yes, it was indeed odd, but it enhanced her beauty like the sunshine on a dew-covered rose. At last there was no more doubt about the meaning of that necklace. It was her name. An endearing name it was, tco. As I muttered that name to myself, I felt a sudden glow ot satisfaction within me. I felt as though Rita and I had known each other for years. We did not exactly kncw each other, of course, because, as I said before, it was her first appearance at school and I considered myself bold in encourag- ing the thought of any relationship between Rita and meg still, I should have been very proud indeed to kncw her and even prcuder if I could have called her my own, to do with as I chose. I was sure I would have some 4 10 THE HERMIAD envicus friends before long. As I sat there in that wonderful dream, the English quiz went on. Let the quiz go , I said to myself. After all we had quizzes aimost every day, but it was not every diy I was treated to a sight cf such, a gorgeous creature as that which stood before me eden. At last Miss Overworkcd left Rita alzne and came to us. She asked me the first question in the quiz. I had net done it, of courseg however nothing else mattered just then but what stood before me. Then I thought how terribly embarrased I would feel if Rita knew that I had not dine the quiz. She would probably think that I was an awfully stupid fellow wha just care to school because both back and mind were toa weak to work. I must have blushed when the room became suddenly quiet and the teacher asked me why I had not done the questions. As I lcoked from teacher to pupil and dropped my head low, I saw Rita sympathetically looking at me. At last between gulps I found breath enzugh to make an alibi. I could not sly that I was gazing at Miss Overworked's guest all this time. This would have been admitting ton much, when I could say I did not know how to answer the question. I wished then that I had never seen Rita , or rather, that she had never seen me. I was thinking ef the saying tlnt the first impression is lasting. From now on, I thcught, I would never see Rita again. She would carry off with her the humorous situation of the dunce who d.d not answer his questions because he was immediately transported into a trance at the sight of her. It was not entirely my fault either. Beautiful things like Rita were nzt to be seen every day nor everywhere. It was just because I had.not seen many like her befare. I was not ts bla re for that. I sighed wearlly and picked up my books when the bell rang. It was the only thili I had hoped for since I had been asked that question-the bell. It was with a heavy heart that I left that English class, slowly plodding my way to my home roon. I could not leave like this. No, I would not let Rita go out of my life just because of this one foolish incident. After dismissal for the day, I chanced to go by the English room. Rita was still there. Miss Overworked was there too. I hesitated a mement then walked into the room, resslved ta make a better showing and prove that I was not quite as bad as I seemed to be. Then I had an invitation. I never expected it. I was not worthy of such an honor, for that is wnat it was to me. I was asked to sit down, and directly in front of Rita tzo. I stalled and clumsily fell into the chair. This was n'y last and only hope, I thought, and I would not fail this time. I was very nervous by now. My fingers were all shaking up to my neck. I must have looked very cold sitting there, shaking' like a leaf and without saying a single word. THE HERMIAD 11 Finally the silence was broken by Miss Violette. Try rry new portable typewriter , she said. Thereupon my shyness left me and I was myself again. Rcyal Rita was after all the twin sister tc the other Royals that I typed on every day upstairs. Q62 success Usabelle Heneault, 1931 J ALM courage in the midst of difficulty, firm strength in tirre of stress, and steady purpose to do one's best whatever the outcome, are the qualities which lead to success. In home life, in school life and in later life, either business or professicnal, the attainir ent of success depends whclly upon ourselves. We may be successful only by using to the fullest degree our power to irake the b e st of anything we undertake, no matter what obs.acles may confront us. Characier is a real foundation for success. A perscn of fine character always stands cut and is ready to go ahead and accomplish anything that he sets out to do. If ycu wish to be a success in life you must do your work wlth a firm purpose that you are doing the best that is in ycu. If you determine to put the best there is in you into everything you do, not matter what it is, you are certain to succeed. The cultivation of courage is an essential to success. Those who meet all things squarely ltave a lasting foundation cf noble character. The quality of your wcrk will have a great deal to do with the quality of your life. The habit of insisting upon the best of which you are capable, and always demanding of ycurself the high est will bring for you a most successful career. ANANIAS MUNCHAUSEN, EXPLORER, SPEAKS CLester Burdick, 19313 T WAS during my hunt for the North Pole that the experience that I am about to relate happened. During the spring term of my senior year at college I had an argument with one of my school mates as to the iraterial of which the North Pole was madeg he vowed it was made cf cak, because that niaterial could stand for many years withcut decayingg I asserted it was a huge mound of earth built by Eskimoes. After school closed 12 THE HERMIAD in June, I decided to go to the North to find cut tlhe truth cf the matter. On July 1, I set out on foot for the North Pole. I was young and had great powers of enduranceg I reached the first ice field in September. From that time on I made slow progress for I was not accustomed to walking on ice fields. My instruments were not so accurate as those of mcdern timesg yet by those I had carried with me, I figured that I was only one hundred miles from the pole by October 1. Hour by hour the weather becamegcolderg I had to move continually in order to keep warm. By the first of Ngvember I began to look for the Pole. My instruments would work no longer- probably because of the cold. For over a week I hunted for the poleg all I saw was ice and snow. Nzthing even resembling a pole was visible anywhere on the horizon. Finally I made a decision: I would go back home. This startling thought came to me as I was standing on an ice-flow. Suddenly the pinnacle on which I had taken my stand gave way and I was precipitated into the icy water. The sudden ifrmersisn was not unwelcome for my brain was heated by the excess of my thought-friction. I paddled about a bit, made friends with a forlzrn- looking walrus, and was about to investigate a seal's reception room, when out of the slowly cooling feverishness of my brain there emerged a thought. It was not predeterminedg I take no credit for it to my own judgment. Where was the opening through which I had fallen? With the remarkable originality that :has ever characterized my move- ments, I began to look about for another hole thrsugh which I could crawl to the upper ice-fiow. There was none. After several hours' fruitless endeavor, I became conscious of the increasing datrpness of my clothing. Again I made a startling guess: the water was soaking into my cl-thes! I acted with commendable judgment immediately, for I fcrthwith. dropped such of my clothing as I could disengage into the water and started on my lamg swim to the outer edge of the fiow. Quickly the hours liew byg they grew to days: that was the la'g2st How I have ever seen. At times I became exhausted, and at such ni-:ments the friendly walrus lent me the aid of his immense flippers. Ever since I have had a soft spot in my heart for mustaches. I made still another discoveryg a walrus has very attractive features, if one makes allowance for a certain mournfulness of expression. On we went, fast by night, slowly by day, for the rising temperature of' the light hours interfered with cur progress. Then one day came the disillusioning-a day when my ccnfidence in one whom I was always taught to believe infallible was shaken. Hour by hour I had noticed the moderation in the temperature of the waterg ilnally the walrus left meg he would go no farther. He cast one dejected parting glance over his massive shoulder, waved a ponderous Hipper, and swam slowly back cver the way we had come. Now the water was uncomfortably warm and slightly opaque. What could it all mean? On I swam. At last I chanced to THE HERMIAD 13 look overhead. The ice had disappeared! Without doubt the water was too warm for the long continuance of ice. Quickly I rose to the surface. A queer sight met my gaze. I was in the midst of a huge nrtillpondg crude sawmills of the variety known as portable lined the bank of the Arctic Sea. Looming up on the seaward side was what seemed at first to be an immense smokestack. Closer approach determined it to be a gigantic lag of wood-in verity the Pole! I had come just in time, for the enterprising Eskimoes had begun to convert this goal of explorers into frames for kayaks and frigidaires. Thousands of sword and saw-fish were harnessed into traces and forced to cut pieces from the huge oak lcg that formed the Pole. In turn thousands of enslaved walruses plied back and forth between the scene of the lumbering operation and the mill bearing on their broad baisks the strips of oak which their sea brethren 'had cut from the Pole. Small wonder that my flippered philanthropist turned back! He wished to save himself from the fate of myriads of his kind. At the moment when my astonished gaze rested on the Pole-a pole in truth-instantly I felt a sinking of iheart. I cannot be quite certain that I wept, for there was so much water around me. My cherished belief in myself was shaken. I was in error. For the first time in my life I had made a mistake. Slowly, sadly, and it must be confessed, somewhat absent-mindedly, I mounted the back of a south-bound whale and turned my extraordinary intellect to the benefaction of mankind. fEditor's note: P. T. Barnum claims that walruses do not have fiippers.j f-521 JUST 'ro BE A SENIOR fStanley W. Smith, 19311 Just to be a Senior!

Steam heat had failed to exist. Water had frozen in the pipes on the way from the well to the house. The wind whistled around the corners and down the chimney of the old hcuse. Blue nosed and shivering, the boarders at Mrs. Hasheroft's gathered around the breakfast table and, for the sake of getting warm, sipped at the weak coffee which was set before them. Between sips and shivers the uncomfortable boarders proceeded to criticize the climate. This ccld weather is greatg you cught not to find fault with it , observed the philosophical boarder as he buttered a hot biscuit. And besides, it's gzod for the crops . That's the same old story , retorted the argumentative boarder. When it rains a week at a stretch, we're told we mustn't complain-because it's good for the crops. When there ccrres a snow three feet deep, we must bear it meekly, because it's good for the crops. You always have that alibi . . But I'd like to know what crap a cold wave like this is good for , questioned an enraged boarder. Why, the ice crop, of course , the philcsophical bcarder replied' clamly buttering another biscuit. With a deadly look at the philosophical boarder, the enraged loser rose hastily from his chair and left the rcom. 45+-D SOLVING THE MYSTERY fAlice Smith, 1934 J T WAS a typical blue Mcnday g outside it was pouring and no sane person would have cared to venture away from the warntth of his own Hreside as the rain, added to the snow, was succeeding in making it very slippery. Out doors was not the only place that was dingy, it was also dark and dreary inside. Ethel and Gerry Travis had found it a most unpleasant afternoong they considered it a whole day cf their vacation wasted, and yoi' know vacations go by fast enough without wasting them. At last, after wandering through all the other rcoms of the Travis homestead, Ethel suggested that they go up to the attic. There stocd in the ccrner of the dusty old attic a large, one-time proud THE HERMIAD 15 grandfather clock, which looked' as if a dust cloth would do it no harm. There had been a mystery surrounding this clock for several weeks. Althoug' no one in the family wound the clock, it continued to run, and it was only a twenty-four hour clcck. It ticked monotonously, and, as the two' girls climbed the dusty stairs, the distinct ticking of the clock reached their .. G:odness! I think it is so peculiar that clock should run without being wound, because when grandmother had it it stopped unless sne wound it every day , remarked Ethel. Say! I knnw what I'm going to do , said Gerry. I will spend the night up here and see what happens. Will you keep me csmpany ? No, I think it is ridiculous to spend the night up here just to watch. that old clock , replied Ethel with decision. The girls spent the remainder cf the afternoon rummaging about in the attic. The subject of the clock was not mentioned again, but Gerry, when it came time for retiring, tucked two books under one arm, Fluff, the cat, under the other, and with a few apples far refreshment, started for the attic. She lit the lamp and proceeded to read. After no little difficulty she became absorbed in a stcrybook, but she did not like those dark corners. You know an oil lamp doesn't give an exceptionally gcod light. At the stroke of twelve Gerry chanced to look up and there stood a figure in white! It picked up the winding key and wound the clock! Fluff, who had been peacefully curled up in Gerry's lap, suddenly jumped to the floor, went cver to the figure, purred, and rubbed against its legs. Either because of the creaking of the boards as Fluff walked, or for some other cause, this strange something awoke, and proved to be none other than Ethel, sleepwalking. After that the clock stopped if not wound by some one of the family, for an arrangement was put on Ethel's bedroom door so that when the door was opened a bell rang, and if she tried any more sleep walking, she was awakened by the noise of the bell as she opened the door. fi-Sv ure sToRY or A TYPEWRITER fEllen Thornley, 19311 WAS manufactured with the utmost care and packed away in a large box. Then followed a very upsetting ride and it was same time after I had been set quietly down, that I could again breathe freely. Several days later I was unpacked, but not with the same care with which I had been packed. I looked around to see what ssrt of a place I was in, and from the appearance of the building, I gathered it was a school, 16 THE HERMIAD Later I was to learn it was Plainfield High Schcol. I was rather disappcinted because I had had higher ambitions than to be a niachine in a school roont, and have students treat me in a manner very improper for a respectable typewriter. I was carried up three flights of stairs and placed on a table in a room with many cther typewriters. They all locked old and worn out. This school surely needed new typewriters , I thought. I asked the typewriter nearest me, How long have you been here? The answer came in a very tired, cracked vcice, Six months . What , I answered, but you look so old! Yes, and so will you six months from now , was the reply. I did not say any more but stopped to think. Could it really be that bad? The next morning' when the teacher entered the room, she walked over to me, lifted my cover, and admired my appearance. I was very proud. When the pupils reported the first period I heard her say, We have a new type- writer and I want you to treat it with care . I am afraid that they did not hear the teac'her's coxrmand, or that they did not understand the meaning of the word care. Several different classes came in, several different pupils used me. That night I was very tired and unhappy. Day after day the same nerve wrecking grind! The other typewriter had spoken the truth. I could not last long at this pace. One day I felt so ill I could not work at all and the teacher called the repairman to find out what could be the matter with me. I was no longer a new and bright type- writer but an cld wreck. The change had come about in just a few shcrt weeks. The repairman had to be called more and more often, but he could do very little for me. One year after I entered Plainfield' High School I left, this time, not in the glory with which I had entered, but in disgrace-with the junk man. I had been discarded. Thus ends the sad story of a typewriter. AN ADVENTURE WITH A PUNGENT ODOR CMaybelle Carpenter, 19313 T WAS a dark, weird night in Ncvember. Not a star was in siglht, yet Bill decided it was the very night to take his cousin Julia cn a little adventure. Julia was a city girl. She had never visited the country before, so of course everything was strange to her. However the strangeness did not phase her for she was eager to learn the wonders of nature which were revealed THE HERMIAD 17 in the country. Being unaccustomed to her surroundings she placed her entire faith in her ccusin Bill. She believed everything he told her and was willing ta try anything he suggested. Bill was more than delighted to find someene whom he considered green , Although he always proved to be very amusing company, he was forever playing pranks on someone. As it happened this was an ideal night far all animals to roam aboutg so he told Julia to prepare for a hike. She did not have any knickersg her wardrobe consisted only of dainty dresses, which were not made for the ccuntry. Bill furnished her with clothes which were suitable for this occasion. When she appeared with them on Bill doubled up with laughter so t. at anycne hearing him would have thought he was having hysterics. However his ridicule was not cut of place for she made a very amusing picture. She had a cap pulled down over her auburn locks, a .heavy blue sweater she woie was too 1--1 ng. and she tucks d the bottom of it into the pants, causing them to bulge at the waist. The pants, which were big enough for two, hung in folds below her belt, and the seat of them reached to the back of her leg. They were baggy at the knees. That they were too long could not be noticed for she had them tucked into boots that were two sizes tco big. In this array she ventured into the night with her cousin, who was accompanied by his collie dcg. On they went over walls, through pastures, under barbed wire, through bushes, through briers, and through all kinds of wilderness, now and then flashing their lights, but never stopping for any- thing. Suddenly, from away clown in a valley, arose the barking of Bill's dog. Bill was all animated, for he had been expecting it as it was part cf his plans. He turned to Julia and said, Follcw me and you will see some excite- ment . Then he started on a run through the bushes, shouting to Julia to hurry. She was endeavoring to do sc, but the heavy boots prevented her from running very last. They came to a stcne wall. Bill was over this, across the road, and in the next pasture as quick as a flash. Julia tried to be as nimble, but ended in a heap on the other side of the wall. She lay there moaning and grcaning, for she had twisted her ankle. Bill did not seem to care what had happened. All that worried him was fear of being caught, for it was against the law to be spot-lighting. Sb he stood there calling in a hoarse vcice, Get up and get over this wall. Hurry up for there is an autcwmobile coming. We will surely be seen. Will you please hurry . Not getting speedy results he half carried and half dragged her over the next wall. They were safe at last and once more in pursuit of the dog, one on a run and the other limping. As they were about to descend a hill, Bill flashed his lignt, and what should he spot but a pair of eyes, sparkling from the rays of the light. The owner crouched and stood still, not daring to move, but awaiting its fate Bill tcld Julia to take the light, flash it into the eyes, and slowly move I8 THE HERMIAD toward them. This is the way you capture cats in the darkness , he said' and at the same time tried to keep from laughing. He was prepared for the results, but psor Julia was made an innocent victim.. When she was about a foot from his head, the cat whirled. Julia dropped the light with a scream of agony. She fell on the ground, and commenced to roll, first one way, and then another, then right down the hill, landilvg in a clump of bushes where- she remained moaning and sighing for her eyes were full of skunk scent.. In the meantime Bill had dropped to the grzund exhausted by laughter. The' tears were rolling down his face and he was holding on to himself in his amusement. When Jul.a did go hugne her clothes had to be buried, but the scent remained in her hair for a long time, and every time Bill sees a cat he doubles up with glee. Q-E1 A ssmoafs THOUGHTS CAf2er cmausfaoni fHilIiard Smith, 19311 Graduation has passedg I have gone all too soon From the whispering sound of the old school rcomg I will play na more in the good old gym, No niore cheer our teanfs to help them win. Four years ago I first came here, Four years ago I was bcunced on my earg The Soph'mores did this pleasant job, But to beat us Freshmen took a mob. Such thoughts please nswg they did nat then. Perhaps such thoughts stir many men As they think again of boyhood days And the frequent erring of their ways. I think we all would be mare sane If we were starting school again. This leaving high school comes too quickg But leave we must, though we long to stick. This change is ncticed now too late By many an undergraduate. Shortlived as they are, our school days, we see, Are later remembered-even by me. THE HERMIADO' 19 VACATION PLEASURES qviijo Hill, 19315 HENEVER some one says to nie in that Oh, how cha:-ming tone of voice, What a delightful vacation you must have tad last summer! I am tempted to laugh or to think that the speaker is sarcastic. This peculiar reaction results from the fact that such remarks cause me to think of scme of the more delightful features of the summer. The chief pleasures of last summer divide themselves into :wc partsg the painting of the paternal home, and the curing and storing of hay for tlte sustenance of the cattle during the winter. As soon as sctoifl closcd It was decided that the hcme needed a new coat of paint. We amused ourselves with that for a couple of weeks. Then came the time when the rrowing machine was tuned up and we knew that soon we were to partake of one of the sun1mer's greatest pleasures, haying. If fatigue and excessive heat and moisture could be none away with. farming would be the chief pleasure cf the people. But since they must remain and since, as the end of the season apprcaches, the difficulties increase, one is greatly pleased ta store his pitchfork away for a year. Of course there were pleasures that were not so strenuous. Our most active sport, especially during the latter part of summer, was chasing cows out of sozre one else's cornfield or garden. After each foray on the cow's part there was a defensive mcve by Hill and Sons. Barbed wire and fence posts were our chief anrmunition and they acted with telling effect on the enemy forces. We also found time to develop our diplomatic sense in tlying to placate the irritated owner 'cf the garden. To be strictly truthful, these delightful pleasures were nict always pressing, so we found time fcr periods of rest and loafing. However these periods seemed very short and far apart. Have we not here an excellent recommendation for spending a summer on a farm? ,ep A ROMAN TRIUMPH fLaura Gallup, 19331 TIE people of Veii, who lived outside the Roman Empire, had for a long time been great enemies of the Rsmans. After rrany hard battles Camillus led a large Roman arzry against the people of Veii, and soon after, word came to Rcme that the Roman army had been victorious. Marcus was a young school boy, whose father had taken part in the war. He was thrilled when he heard the news as he would see his father again. He 20- THE HERMIAD immediately said to himself, I wcnder if there will be a triumph . He had heard about triumphs, but he had never actually seen one. The triumph was granted by the Senate after they had considered the claims put forth by the general. Marcus was very iruch interested in the idea of attending a triumph. The next morning he went to his grandfather, who was a member of the Senate, and said: Oh, grandfather, is :here really gsing to be a triumph? Well, perhapsg a few of the points which are to be considered have been accomplished , said his grandfather. Won't you please tell me what they are ? said Marcus. The war must have been brought to a definite conclusion , answered the grandfather, resulting in the extension of the bsundaries 01' the state. The victory must have been gained over some foreign c-iuntry. These two things have been accomplished. In the war more than five :nousand of the enemy must have been slain, but I am not sure whether this has been accom- plished or not. The Senate is to hold a meeting outside the city walls this aiterncon to consider the claims of the general. If they are satisfactory, special legislation is necessary to keep the general in possession of the imperium on his entry into the city. Without this his command will expire and he will become a private individual the mcment he is inside the city walls, and will not have a right to a triumph. If you will come to my house tonight, I will tell you cf the Senate's decision . Marcus listened attentively as his grandfather spoke, and then he said: All right, grandfatherg I will come, thank you , and he returned ho re. He could hardly wait for the time to come when his grandfather should arrive home. When he did return, Marcus went immediately to his hcuse to learn of the decision. His grandfather said: All the senators have agreed that the claims of the general are just and a triumph is tai be held next week . Marcus was very happy and coulcl not wait for the time to come. The day finally arrived and Marcus had a schoal holiday, so that he was able to see the triumph. He dressed in his holiday attire and tied laurel arcund his head as was the custom of the Roman people. He then went to the Fcrun and, sitting' on one of the statues there, he could fully enjoy the celebration. He wished that he might watch the exercises which took place cutside the city walls, but he was too small to go that far and his father said to him afterwards: Marcus, there were only a few exercises outside the walls. The general assembled the soldiers, delivered the commendatory ora- tion, and distributed rewards and money as their share of the spoils, which consisted of arms, standards, statues, and other things. That was all that 'took place . Marcus had noticed, as he was on his way to the Forum, that the rjipearance which Rome presented was joyous in tne extreme. All work was THE HERMIAD 21 suspended and all the pecple were clad in their holiday garments. Practically everyone had laurel bound' around his head. All temples were- thrown open, and every altar smoked with incense. The streets were strewn with garlands. Marcus was in a hurry to see the procession and especially to see his father wha had been away from home for some time. Finally the parade appeared. He heard the sound of the trumpets and saw the senators who led the procession. They were dressed in their togas rrade of white woolen cloth with narrow purple stripes interwoven for a border. Next he saw a body of trumpeters, follawed by a train cf carriages and frames laden with the spoils of the vanquished. In addition to the arms, standards, and statues he saw representations of battles, towns, rivers, and mountains of the con- quered country. Next came a body of flute players, followed by the white oxen, which were decorated with laurel and had gilded horns. They were to be sacrificed and were attended by priests with their insignia and implements. There followed then the distinguished captives with bands of inferior prisoners in chains, after whom walked the lictors who were the attendants of the imperator. The lictors carried the fasces wreathed with laurel. Marcus noticed that they were bundles of rods, but he wondered what they signified, There was a Roman man standing near him. Pardon me, sir , Marcus said to him, but can you tell me what those bundles of rods that the lictors are carrying mean? They are called the fasces , answered the man. They indicate power, and outside the city they have axes bound in with them, signifying the death penalty. The axes are taken from the bundles inside the city . I thank you , said Marcus, and he turned to watch the rest of the triumph. The hero of the day came into view, the imperator, crowned with laurel, in a circular chariot drawn by four horses. He was accompanied by his young children and his intimate friends. He was dressed like the Capitoline Jupiter in rcbes of purple and gcldi borrowed from the treasury of the god. In his right hand he carried a laurel bough, and in his left an ivory sceptre surmounted by an eagle. His brows were garlanded with Delphic laurel. A public slave held the golden crown of Jupiter abwe his head, and reminded him in the midst of all his glory that he was but a mortal man. His grownup sons, the equites, legates and tribunes, followed on horseback. Behind them marched the infantry, their spears adorned with laurel, shouting Io TrIumphe , and singing hymns to the gods. Among the soldiers Marcus saw his father who wore a crown which, as he learned later, was called a civic crown. That night his father, holding up the crown, said to him: Marcus, look at this chaplet of oak leaves with the acorns. It was given to me because I saved the life of a comrade in battle. He had been fighting all day and was very weak, when one of the enemy's soldiers assailed him. As I was near, I ran up and after a long hard struggle I killed my opponent and maintained 22 THE HERMIAD the ground icn which we fought . As the procession marched on, Marcus walked along beside it. As they ascended the Capitoline Hill, he noticed that some of the captives were with- drawn from the line and conducted to the prison to be put to death. As soon as their death was announced, the 'cxen were sacrificed and the general placed the laurel bough on the lap of Jupiter. The general and his friends then went to the temple where they were publicly feasted. As Marcus's father was an intimate friend of the general, he attended the banquet and Marcus went with him. They were both very glad to see each other again and had many stories to relate. The banquet was grotesque and revolting, rather than magnificent, judged by the standards of today. There were no stcols 'cr benches, but couches upon which the banqueters reclined while eating. The couches were made of silver. Wine was used for the hands instead of water. Very extrava- gant dishes were served. After they had feasted for a long time the general went home late in the evening, accompanied by flutes, torches, and a crowd of citizens, anvcng whom were Marcus and his father. Then Marcus went home, very tired, but very happy. That night, because he had eaten so much and was so excited, Marcus had many wonderful dreams. He dreamed that he was a very prorrinent general, that he had just won a great victory in a foreign war, and that a triumph was being held in his honor. He awoke just as he was placing the laurel bough upon the lap cf Jupiter. 'CSD Extract from a Newspaper of the Year 3015 or the Year 159 of the New Era fEthe1 Seidman, 1934 J 64 XCAVATORS have dug up the ruins of a village the name of which suggests that it was originally open country or a large field. The ruins of some brick buildings have been dug up, however. These' show that they were ancient factories that made some sort of heavy cloth. Near this town has been found a brick building in an excellent state of preservation. From varicus writing materials and books fcund there has been gathered the fact that it was an institution of learning. This building has been found so intact that the excavators have been able to determine just what the plan of it was. It corresponds almcst exactly with the description of an 'cld American school fcund in the Modern Magazine . From recent excavations made in the eastern part of Old United States THE HERMIAD 23 in North America we 'have been able to find out just what the old system of teaching was, and how the schcols were laid out. As one entered a broad dzorway, one came into a hall. On the left hand was a room that was evidently used as a library and reference room. On the right hand was the chief overseer's office. These two rooms were equipped with good sizedidesks and niany seats, all made of wocd. Also were found in these rooms various colJred pieces made of a material called paper. These show that the students in the school were not always of the best demeanor. A broad hall ran the entire length of the building, with rooms branching off from it. One of these was larger than the cthers and was, from all appearances, an assembly room. In the rear of this asserbly room was a good sized open space which was probably used as a physical torture chamber. The building contained three stories, but other buildings of a similar kind that have been discovered prave that some of then were of a great height. This is just a brief description of an ancient school. A more detailed one may be found in the history written by Eva March Tappan IV . C-331 A PRICELESS PRESENT fErnest Cooney, 19315 I HEN I came to work in a small store in the town of Paradise, the first person that I met was Bill Reynolds. We liked each other at first sight and I did not find it hard to persuade Bill to take me into his home to beard. His wife was a very pleasant woman, and his two little children were always with their father while he was at home. Bill was a jolly sort of fellow who, never wanted to go anywhere when he was not w:rking. He never told me anything of his past lifeg naturally I never inquired of him about it. Even his wife knew little that had happened before she met him. t One frigid Christmas eve Bill and I walked home from the store. Bill usually talked and joked whenever we were tcgether, but that night I noticed that he was very quiet. He seemed to be in deep thought. After eating supper Bill and I went to the sitting raom to rest and smoke. I picked up a paper and began to read. The youngsters came and climbed upsn Bill's knees. They were full of some mysterious secret which, after a bit of ieiened indifference on his part, was soon let out. It seems that they had' invited an old lady who lived all alone in a small cottage near them to have dinner with tliem the next day. They called their new-found friend granny , a name which comes readily to little lips. Bill said nothing though he contin- 24 THE HERMIAD ued to play with the children until their bedtime came. A short while after the children had made their reluctant exits I chanced to glance toward Bill. He was sitting very quietly, staring, apparently at the arm of his chair. I asked him what troubled him. He started, and then he looked queerly at me. I am confident that he did not see meg his mind was occupied with so rlething far away. After a minute he said: Em, I have a matter to tell you which no one else knows about. I want you to help me . I laid my newspaper aside, wandering what it was all abcut. Years age, when I was a young fellow, no one thought that I would ever be any good. I left home and drifted from one place to another. I heard from home only once in a ling, long time. I knew that my brother had a good position. At times I wanted ta go back home, but I was ashamed. Finally no more news came from home. I had cut my last anchor. For years I wandered over the face 'cf this cld earth, fighting, playing, working, wast- ing. Only just now, when you spoke, I was thinking of past Christmas eves and the places where I had spent them. Ncw, Ern, I want to find my mother. I am not asharred any more for I have settled down and people respect me and look to me for help. Ncw that I am somebody I want mother to know about it, if she is still living . I felt just a bit uncorrfortable. The Bill I had known was such a self- sufficient, dependable fellow that I could scarcely reconcile him with the character he had sketched for me. All right, old man , I said: a praise worthy aim, but where do I come in? Locking straight at me he asserted more than asked: You will help me find mother? Surprised, I managed to reply: Of courseg you can ccunt on me . The next forenoon Bill spent at his work bench in the cellar. The children called noisily down to him that they were going to get their guest. He made them a reply that sent them laughing on their way. Time passed quicklyg the ycungsters were soon back, almost dragging in their 'happiness an erect little gray-haired woman who- faced the world with a brave smile and a questioning look in her eyes. Just then Bill opened the cellar door. He had in his arms a huge stick of fireplace wood. William! said a soft old voice. The wood drcppd unnoticed to the floor.

THE VARSITY CLUB The Varsity Club was organized in December 19295 its members were those men who had earned varsity letters, and its avowed purpose was to foster athletics, and make the winning cf a letter mean more to the winner. This year the club has carried on five successful ticket campaigns. Jan- uary 20, 1931, a banquet was given at the schcol for club members and members of the Alumni whc- won letters while they were in high school. At that time football letters for the 1930 season were awarded. The guest entertainer of the evening was Mr. Arthur Brown, magician, of Norwich. THE ORCHESTRA The Plainfield High Schcol orchestra has this year been under the capable supervision of the music instructor, Miss Bouvier: She has devoted much of her time tai rehearsals after school hours and the school appreciates her efforts. New members have taken the places of those who graduated last June. The orchestra specializes in marches and has furnished entertainment for mist of the assemblies. The members of this -organization made their first public appearance this year when they played between the acts at the Senior Play. The members of the orchestra are: Director - - - - Miss Bouvier f - 1 Wanda Nieclzwicka First violins Q Imelda Vincent 1 - - Grace Flynn l Miss Madelyn Cronin - Mr. Monaghan Second violins Harry Kinnqf - George Gauthier Baritone horn - - Randolph Wibberley 1930-1931 BOYS' GLEE CLUB, THE HERMIAD 45 Cornet - - Mr. Gdauthier Clarinet - - Edward Smith Piano - Aurise Theraux Drums - Isidore Messier Charles Laireniere . THE GLEE CLUBS The Glee Club, which, is composed of Freshman and Sophomore girls, has been under the eificient supervisicn of Miss Bcuvier for the last three years. Its members hold their weekly meetings on Wednesday after school has been dismissed. They have contributed to many of the assembly programs with appropriate selections. April 23 a boys' glee club was organized under the supervision of Miss Violette. Its officers are: President ----- Henry Burby T Secretary and Treasurer - - - Earl Leacn Student leaders - Earl Leach, Isidcre Messier Supervisor - - - - Miss VlCll8tt9 Instructor - - Miss Bouvier' 37-P445 46 THE HERMIAD SOCIALS AND DRAMATICS THE SENIOR PLAY The Class of 1931 made an innovation and set a precedent by giving' its Senior Play in the high school auditorium. The stage was very attractively and artistically arranged to represent the library cf an old southern mansion. The play chosen was The Cat and the Canary , which proved to be acne well suited ts' the talents of the Senior Class. From every angle it was an enor- mous success. The beautiful new curtain of garnet velvet, the gift of the classes of 1928, 1929, and 1930, made a very effective background for a chorus of Senior girls who sang between the acts. This chorus was led by Arliene Potvin. Th-e cast of characters follows: Roger Crosby - - - Hilliard Smith Mammy Pleasant - Marion Wilccx Harry Blythe - - Stanley Smith Susan Siilsby - - Frances Babcock Cicely Y011Hg - Mary Loring Charles Wilder - - Isidore Messier Paul Jones - - Charles Lafreniere Annabelle West - Isabelle Heneault Hendricks - - Sidney Oberman Dr. Patterson ----- Viljo Hill Ambrose ----- Ernest Cconey Between the first and second acts Isidore Messier, president of the class, presented Miss Violette, the coach, a beautiful bouquet of carnations and twenty-five dollars in gold, in appreciation of her diligence and patience throughout the preparaticn of the play. THE JUNIOR PROMENADE On Friday evening, February the thirteenth, the annual Junior Prome- nade was given by the Class of 1932 at the Plainfield Community House. The hall was tastefully and effectively decorated in mcidernistic des:gn by Louis A. Lamothfe of Plainfield. The class colors, blue and gold, were beautifully blended with the pastel shades. The customary grand march was ied by Peter Koss, class president, and Aurise Theroux, vice president, followed by Frank Koss, secretary, and Earl Leach, treasurer, with their partners. Al Pare's 'orchestra furnished music for the evening. The patrons and patronesses were Superintendent and Mrs. John L. Chapman, Miss Josephine S. Armstrcing, Mr. and Mrs. Stanley Koss, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Theroux, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Leach. The success of this social event was due largely to the efficient supervision of Miss Ruth Wentworth, class supervisor. THE HERMIAD 47 SCHOOL DANCES The Senior Class held a dance at the high school October 6, with Polly and Her Pals tai furnish the music fam' the evening. A sum of twenty-six dollars, seventy cents was added to the class treasury. November 14 the Junior Class, following the example of the Seniors, held anlather informal dance at the high school, with Leach's orchestra to supply the music. The amount of money in the treasury was increased by eighteen dollars, sixteen cents. What ice cream was not sold at the dance was sold and rapidly devoured at the football game the following afternoon. A. A. AIDS This year each member of the faculty promised to help raise an indefinite sum of money which was to go to the Athletic Association. Miss Mcrrill and the girls' basketball squad set the ball rolling by giving a whist party on the evening of January 12 at the high schiool. The prizes were donated and sixteen dollars, thirty cents added to the Athletic Association treasury. February 2 Miss Violette gave a bridge party at the home off Miss Arm- strong. Six tables were in play and the proceeds were eleven dollars. Miss Allen gave a similar bridge and whist party at the same place February 26. The number of tables was increased' to nine and fourteen dollars, fifty cents was netted. Miss Cisar and Miss Alling combined forces and supervised a very appetizing and wholesome supper which was prepared and served by the three divisions of Home Economics girls. It was held March 12 in tlhie auditorium of the high- school. Lighted bridge lamps placed here and there around the room gave a very pretty effect. Each table was attractively decorated with green and white favors and napkins in honor of Saint Patrick. The girls served three delicious courses, the first, breaded chicken, parslaide pcrtatoes, buttered carrots, shamrock rolls, curled celery, and olivesg the second, molded spring salad with saltinesg the third, lemon sherbet, vVenetian cakes, and coffee. The supper was very successful and about fifty dollars was given over to the Athletic Association. A very colorful entertainment was held' in the auditorium April 10 in the form of a minstrel in which members of the faculty, of the alumni, and of the student body took part. 'I'he stage had a striking background of bright blue upon which ran streamers of blue, yellow, and red. The witty endmen were gayly arrayed in motley costumes, while the chorus girls were sunbon- nets of every hue. Their combined v o i c e s and quick wit brought much applause from the fascinated audience. The sch-ool orchestra played during the program, but it was greatly surpassed by the orchestra conducted by Duke Ellington. One number on the program was a violin solo by Bernard Millstein who held his audience tense throughout the selection. 48 THE HERMIAD ORCHESTRA WHIST On Wednesday, March 18, a bridge and whist social was held at the home of Miss Bouvier. The proceeds of this' party, between fourteen and fifteen dollars, went to help finance the High, Schoizl orchestra. ASSEMBLIES This year we have had bFenm3'nt2h.ly assemblies. Apprzlpriate programs were given on the following holidays: Lincoln's and Washington's birthdays, Armistice Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. During the first week of November a lively sales campaign was con- ducted by the students. It was introduced by a representative of the Pictorial Review Publishing Csmpany who gave an interesting talk on The Art of Slalesmanshipn. The campaign was under the supervision of Mr. Upham, head of the commercial department, assisted by Helen Jarosz, general manager. Dora Stankovich and Thomas Heneault captured the first prizes with Henry Burby and Eleanor Gauthier close behind. The sugn of eighty-tnrce dollars, seventy-five cents was netted by the Athletic Association as a result of the efforts of the students. On November 17, Mr. Louis Williams gave an interesting talk ion The Wonders of Science . His talk was accompanied by a demonstration. Several of the high school boys volunteered their services, making the entertainment more exciting to the audience. This proved to be one of the best liked prsgrams of the year. A December 8, the first act of Hamlet was presented by Senior girls. The parts were taken by Maybelle Carpenter, Mildred G-Jwen, Mary Loring, and Ellen Thornley. January 5, Mrs. Moore of the Catherine Gibbs Secretarial Schools gave a very fine talk on The Value of Business Training after H'ghl School . She pointed out the special oppsrtunities 'offered in the Catherine Gibbs Schools to thusise who wish to continue their business education. After her talk she held a special conference with the advanced commercial students. On March 2, Mr. E. Newton .Sum-ith came to us suggesting a magazine campaign as a means of acquiring money tal help get the Athletic Ass: ciation out of debt. After his talk he announced Isidore Messier as the student business manager with Kenneth Wilde as his assistant. He divided the school into' two teams: the Black Pirates led by Theodore Heneault, and the Red Pirates led by Isabelle Heneault. Though each band strove to outsell the other, the result was a tie, with seventy subscriptions to the credit of each. As a reward for its labors the school netted seventy-five dollars, seventy-five cents. William Kelly, a Black Pirate, sold seventeen subscriptions and Edward THE HERMIAD 49 Smith, a Red Pirate, sold eight subscriptions. The success of the campaign is largely due ta the efforts of Mr. Upham, the faculty advisor. March 9 brought forth a Valentine Day program which had been way- laid by the magazine campaign. Vivian Mfireau favored the audience with a piano selection. The main feature, however, was a skit entitled The Sign of the Cleft Heart which was given by Dorothy Mortimer and Phyllis Sanderscn with Miss Vizlette as coach. A very interesting assembly was held Monday, April 20. Mary Smith, of the class cf 1934, played the piano while the students marched in. Mr. Kilpatrick of Canterbury, who substituted for Miss Morrill while she was sick, gave a very interesting talk on Bulgaria. He told about the land, dress, homes, customs, and religion of the people. Mr. Kilpatrick taught in Bulgaria for tw: years. CONTESTS JUNIOR PRIZE SPEAKING CONTEST This year the preliminaries fzr the annual contest for the Class of 1927 prize in public speaking were held in the High School auditiorium, March 16. There were six names on the program, but one speaker dropped out because of a heavy cold. Those who participated, with their selections, were: Truth and Victory, Scizville ---- Harriet White The American Pioneer, Lane - - - Dorothy Mortimer The Traitor's Deathbed, Lippard - - Jeanette Goldberg Burgoyne's Surrender, Curtis - - - Henry Eskelinen Duty of Literary Man to America, Grimke - Bernice Gallup Members of the Junior class and the members of the faculty acted as judges and chase Harriet White, Dorothy Mcfrtimer, and Jeanette Goldberg to participate in the final contest. The finals were held April 17 in the auditorium. The judges were Mr. Chester A. Howe, superintendent of schools in the town of Griswold, Mrs. Mary Peckhxaiifn, principal of Sterling Center Grammar sc-hoolg Reverend William Williams of the Wauregan Congrcgaticnal c hurch. 'fhey were unanim-3-cus in awarding the first prize to Dorothy Mortimer, the second to Jeanette Goldberg, and the third to Harriet White. The high school orchestra rendered several selections during the program. PLAINFIELD HIGH SCHOOL WINS A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP The state typewriting contest, sponsored by the Connecticut Business Educators' Asssciation, was heldi March 14, 1931 at Weaver High School, Hartford. Contestants representing the many types of schools and courses 50 THE HERMIAD given therein, came from various parts of the state. When every contestant was in place and the instructions had been care- fully given, the whistle was blcwn and thfe contest was on! It was all over in fifteen minutes, and what a relief! Then the anxiety of waiting for results. At 12 o'clock luncheon was served, after which the students were free to lock around the beautiful building, thus having' opportunity to meet students from other schools. At 1:45, contestants and teachers assembled in the auditorium to hear the afternoon program. Weaver High school orchestra entertained with a variety of musical numbers. This was followed by business education prob- Iems, by a well known me m b er of the Board of Education. One very interesting feature of the program was a shorthand class demonstration. At last our big moment arrived, the awarding of prizes . Two prizes were presented tal each of the different classes. Our' school with its two representatives was victorious over many larger schools who entered representatives in each class. Stanley Luty won first prize in the second year class, with a net speed of sixty-eight words. Aurise Theroux won second prize in the beginners' class, with a net speed of fifty-nine words. To have had twoi out 'cf two winners against such strong competition is an honor of which Plainfield High school may be proud. af--Q .JJ . . ,.

Although the school could have financed the third major sport, it was thought that the money saved by giving it up for one season ccfuld be used in making a practice diamond on the athletic field. The 1931 season has started well. Over forty candidates reported fcr practice on April 6. Because of lack of equipment it was necessary to cut about one half of this number od' the squad. To date three games have been played. In spite of two early losses the team has lust no league games thus far. F O OTBALL HE call for football candidates was sounded the first week of school. There was a nucleus of eleven, veterans of the 1929 season, and enough cthers reported to make a squad -of forty. Practice for the six gamre schedule began in earnest under the guidance of Coach Monaghan and his assistant, Mr. Ringland. The season was as successful as could be wished and a great deal of satisfaction is felt because of the fact that the Orange and Black beat her old rivals Killingly and Putnam. The first game, which was with Killingly, went off with a bang, Plainfield winning 19 to 0, although the team didn't get going until the second half. Williams then started the ball rolling by getting' a touchdown and was im- 1931 BASEBALL TEAM, THE HERMIAD 53 mediately f:'llowed by Burdick and Lang getting one each. Plainfield went to Grzton next. Here she had a hard tussle with Robert E. Fitch, but prevented them from scoring. At the final whistle the score still stood 0 to 0. The next game was with Putnam. The Putnam boys didn't have a chance for they were marched back and forth by Plainfield's superior eleven which scored early in the encounter. Burby intercepted a pass and ran for a second touchdown. With about a minute to play Williants tried to do the same but was tackled. The whistle sounded and Plainfield was still undefeated. The ,score was 12 to 0. November 1, Plainfield journeyed to Webster to play the nifty Bartlett team and to meet her first defeat with a score of 17 to 0. Plainfield played the first home game November 8 with Warwick. The Plainfield eleven was outweighed and outplayed and the boys became dis- couraged after an intercepted pass early in the game had netted the opponents six points. The final score stood 12 to 0 in favor of Warwick. November 15, East Douglas came to Plainfield to be badly defeated. In the first quarter Williams brought the ball nearly to the goal and here, by Kciss's wit, a touchdown was secured. Burby 'made two more during the game which netted Plainfield 19 to Douglas's 0. The game with East Douglas was to have been the last, but because of the tie with Robert E. Fitch, a playoff was necessary to decide who would be the champicms of the B conference. The game was held at New London, Novefrber 25. Plainfield went down there 'determined' to win. The day was windy and cold, making it hard playing. It looked as though the teams were evenly matched, but during the game Plainfield began to stand out. In the last quarter the Orange and Black got a touchdcvwn made by Williams on a nifty play by Koss. To top this Luty gained the extra point. The game ended with the score 7 tc- 0, and Plainfield the charnps .

Frank Koss, 1932 AN INCIDENT One day a Weaver and a Miller decided that they would go for a Walk Qerj. They took the Main road' which passed by a sand bank owned by the Sander's san. On the top of this bank there was a lovely White Rose. The Weaver and the Miller both wanted the Rose: therefore they had a contest. When they reached the top olf the sand bank a Parker had taken the Rose and was off. They decidedf they would take a Birdseye view of the Vallee beneath them before they descended. The Miller turned around and behold, he saw a Young Wildfej animal Galloping oii' and suddenly disap- pearing into a nearby thicket. Because the Miller had to return to the Milligan to deliver some meal to a Ccok before dark, they returned home.

Millstein THE HERMIAD She sharpens her wits by grinding. Some are wise, some otherwise. Very quiet, but nat asleep, Still water runs deep. If silence were gold he'd be a Multiarfillionaire. Grind, G-rind, Grind, and Grind swzfme more. W-hat does she hide beneath her quiet, shy manner? I envy no one who knows more than I dog but I pity the one who knows less.

Robert Howard, 1932 THEN AND NOW THEN I was a modest, timid Freshman, was afraid of upper classmen and members of the faculty, and tried to avoid them as much as possible. In the study hall I dared not turn around for fear of having the teacher speak to me, and also because there were upper classmen behind me. It was quite a while before I was able to get to ciass without first looking at my schedule. I wasted no time in looking at it either, for I 'had to' hurry to class without running down the stairs or in the corridors. I also dreaded Student Council members whcn stood in the corridors THE HERMIAD C5 and at the head of the stairs, shouting Single file, please when you were having a little chat with one of your classmates. NOW I walk immune from all criticism. I'm never in a hurry. Student Council commands mean nothing to me, for, lo, I AM A SENIOR. Bur by Lang S.
