To Our Comracles In Arms One day a call came and you went away! We miss your voice, your smile, your clasp of hand Sometimes it seems we can not understand That you will not be coming back today. Within the quiet of our peace-clad hills, We can not know the paths that you must tread, Here, with the living all about us so, We can not guess the greatness of the dead. You went away with calm and fixed resolve, No love of treasure drew you from our side, No dream like Jason's of the gleaming fleece, You heard the summons and were satisfied. And you will come back to us from the strife Or sleep beneath the stars on foreign shore, But our faith's with your battle for the right, Our hearts are in your cause forevermore. So from the scenes you love we send our Hail And God-speed as we lift up hands of prayer For you who follow where Old Glory leads, Our comrades fighting for us over there! 1 fimltlllulmklatmw .... 41 .11..:.,1 mguq., , 'a Ql'lYl'lR 'Time 9 mwer Qoard I We ff 11- M ,- .- ,.. .1 VD ... slooqng go 1113111191111 N 111911112 UH SD QUIvER+' ..g.. ffQU1v1m K ,, Ponca!

Someone, I believe it was the president of Vassar College, has ' h defined slang as the by-ways of speech-the trodden pat s which lie on each side of the established concrete walks. The ' ' th same man also advances the opinion that We use slang for e same reason that we cross the grass-because it is the quickest way around. And so it is with Carry On. We may fumble about for hours in an attempt to discover a phrase which will express the meaning we are trying to convey, and the English Tommy in the trenches already has it in his dictionary of useful expressions. Carry 0n! fwhat a wealth of meaning is wrapped up in those two small words! As Tommy or Sammy out there in No-Man's Land sees his pal go under with a last gasped Carry on, what greater spur could he desire to fight to the very death with the Hun. They carry on for the pal Whom they have just left bleeding-perhaps dead-behind themg for the home they have left back in Blighty, with all that it holds so dearg for the principles which have led them into the greatest struggle of timeg for the government under which they have been rearedg but more than this, they carry on for the God of Right who hu n1anity's cause 5 if 5' -s8- e -.gg I ' , 3ftg35,gf5,:?3?E,.1.1,, - V HQITIVERP' guides the struggle and will bring final victory to the armies of humanity.

HQUIVER9' BEND OR BREAK CA 'Tish Story with a Morahb gl AM going to tell you of an incident that happened years and years ago, during a very early period of my existence. It rloesn't amount to anything, so I shall use all the big words I can lug in to make it sound like something Qand incidentally to till up a couple of pagesj. It is simply a fish story, but genuine. ln fact, it is the only Fish Story since the one about Jonah that is really worth recording.--fl am surprised that it has not been recorded long ago,-ahemlj Down near my old boyhood home in northern Indiana, is what is called a meandering stream, which meanders con- siderably around through the miasmic swamps and peat bogs, and finally wanders across the state into southern Michigan and empties into the St. .I oe River. It was known in our section of the country as Crooked Creek and was very appropriately named. fit is still crookedj During the hot summer months, whenever the Paternal Head gave his consent, I used to Wall- der down to that stream and fish for anything that looked like a fish. I do not recall catching any great number, but I always had some good healthy stories to tell about how many got away, etc., for at that time in my mental development, my mind was very elastic, and I also had a highly developed imagination,- which helped some. One hot sultry afternoon in July, during a lull in .the farm work, I was given a half-day to myself. I decided to go fishing. I had the usual fisherman's outfit,-fishpole, reel, live minnows, bare-footed, turned-up pantaloons, etc. fa la Whittierj and really looked the part of a professional sportsman. With all the para- h nalia that I could lug I trudged across the fields to the p er , stream. I crept cautiously along the bank, or waded in the stream, intent upon getting a chance at a big fish. A short distance ahead was a sharp turn in the stream. It was shadowed by a large willow that had grown so that it leaned out over the water. An old log was lying partly buried in the bank, so that it extended out to about the middle of the stream. 'Phe current fiowed lazily along, forming small eddies as it swung around the end of the log, into the deep cool shadows under the willow. I thought this the ideal place for a nice big bass to be lying quietly in the shaded waters, waiting for a chance to get his supper by darting out after the minnows as they pass by. I had read in my school geography that The sea is a field of car- nage, and so, I figured, is Crooked Creek. To test this out I look a minnow from my pail and quietly flipped it just over be- g, ond the old log in the stream into the deep shadowed water No sooner had it struck the surface then SPLASH' and the min now was quickly snapped up by a big fish I then quietly slipped a mmnow on my hook loosened the reel and tossed the halted hook down into the same place Again as before a big splash and my bait was grabbed The line became taut the tishpole began to bend and I realized that I had something on the string 'Slow and then I caught a silvery gleam of something as lt, darfed '35 has t Y . . , - , .. , . . v u , .

My fishpole ben't nearly double. Then, as the fish ' ' k ' t lace. stopped for an instant, the pole would spring bac in o p Back and forth and around went that fish. l gave him all the ' he wanted The fishpo-le bent back and forth like a 'rope . whalebone whip: but it did not break. lt sprung back to its ' ' ' ' ' I t k these original position each time the hsh let up a little. oo opportunities to wind in some of the line. Gradually the fish lf t and I slowly wound up the reel It was then tired himse ou , . an easv matter to quietly lift Mr. Fish vertically out of the water, ' n of a and land him safely on dry land. It was as fine a specime three-pound bass as I ever saw. tit had scales on its back.l To describe my deep emotions,-exultation, and exuberance of ecstasy, etc.,-would be impossible. tThe English language is too weak.l Sufiice it to say that I lived through it to tell the story. tSome o so.J f the boys claimed it was a doghsh, but that isn't Here endeth the Fish Story. Now a few deductions from this thrilling U1 incident, ap- plied to our everyday life, and I am done. We as elements of society can have a great influence and can 'll'i accomplish a great deal of good in a community if we are wi i ig to bend just a little to the other fellow's way of thinking. Not that we should sacrifice principle, nor entirely agree, but there is a diplomatic way of helping the man who is wrong to see that he is wrong without clashing with him. By yielding a little to his viewpoint, sufliciently to get into sympathetic touchg then with tact and diplomacy, we can lead him to see the broader view- point, to enlarge his visiong to see himself at a different angleg to get a vision of himself from the angle of the community in which he lives, rather than from self. If this can be accom- plished, a real and lasting good has been done without seeming to dictate or antagonizeg therefore no resentment. Some people are so rigid and so set in their opinions, and stand so straight that they almost tip over backward. They pride themselves on their rigidity, and loyalty to their sacred opinions. Anyone who takes any exception to their pet views has stepped on their toes all right. Such persons usually lose out in the long run, for they soon become known as self-centered snobs, in- ' ' ne but SELF 1 stoo stiff and unwieldy t.o be of teiested in no 0 service to the community. Society gradually learns to get along I h . . H :Nithout them. and eventually they are forgotten. T e1r in u- ence has gradually approached the limit, zero. This world was not made for any one individual, but for us ' ld 'ust a all. We must be willing to bend just a little, to yle J little to other people's opinions. The ability rto bend a little, to tt ntivel to the other man's viewpoint, to yield a little if listen a e y necessary, yet at the same time to gen-tly and logically lead him ' ' k reat 10 see the truth in its broadest sense, is what ma es our g staltesmen and diplomats. Field Marshal Haig bent his line back th t salient on the western front retreating in good order, from a , that he might save his men and compel the Huns to come across ' ' h h ll to him, thus giving the French the advantage. W o s a say that Haig did not show greater generalship by bending a little than to stay on that front salient? p QUIVEIP' In striking contrast to this class of stiff, stubborn, unwieldy, self-centered individuals, is another class who are of the dish- rag type. They have no opinions of their own. They take no stand on any question. They do not stand anywhere. Like a weather vane, they turn whichever way the wind blows. They go with the majority. They Brave and shout Amen! if that seems to be the popular thing to do. They have no mind of their owng no lime in their spineg no backbone at all.

How the civilized world rose up in astonishment and indignation at its destruction! We are ' ' ' th master mu- held spell-bound by music as we are swayed by e sician, but poetry speaks to our very soul. In classic days we find the poet calling on the Muses to as- sist him. He was supposed to, have an inspiration, the divine rage, before he could indite his noble numbers. in imitation of ld w iters we find Spenser in Faerie Queene saying, these o r Descend ve Nine , Milton. in Paradise Lost, saying, Sing, k' the oets heavenly Muse. When the inspiration was lac mg p might have said, My Pegasus won't fly. But the modern ro- mantic poet gets his inspiration from the things around him!- fhe world of nature, the birds, the brooks, the flowers, the ocean, the mountain, the sunshine and the storm. As Carlyle says, He has not far to seek. The true poet lives in the realm of the imagination and deals with the emotions rather than with the critical faculties. We read history to learn of the deeds of men and nations, we read literature to learn what vision has come to the man who sees that which we cannot see, who hears the voice we cannot hear. As Carlyle says, A true poet soul needs but to be struck and the sound it yields will be music. A true poet is one in whose heart is some one of the Eternal Melodies. The poet is then the child of Nature and her interpreter. fNl t r And Burns surely was such an interpreter. He says o l a u e, you must love her ere to you she will seem worthy of your love. ' l for the flowers is shown in this quotation: I have some His ove favorite flowers in spring, among which are the mountain daisy, . . - . 1 . Ch the harebell, the foxglove, the wild brier rose, the budding nr and the hoary hawthorne, that I view and long over with parti- i d l' ht. Every flower has a charmed name. Does Burns cular e ig not love the birds when he speaks of the loud solitary whistle of the curlewi' or the wild mixing cadence of a troop of gray il er?', He tells us that he feels an elevation of soul like the 1 ov enthusiasm or devotion to poetry. Do we feel this in reading his 1 v . 1 words?-for heart should answer to heart. We have on y to rear Burns to see the local color of Scotch poetry. The Cotter's Sa- turday Nightl' is an excellent example. No other home-coming is quite like that. The mournful character of much of the Scotch poetry is well portrayed in Highland Mary and Loch Lo- mond. We find Burns using nature as a background for his feelings when he sings How can ye chant, ye little birds, and I sae weary, fu' oi care? Burns considered solitude a necessity for the poet, for he says: The Muse, no poet has found her, till by himself he learned to wander. ' E -13-- . . 'fr I - , .a-- . ., 6 ?'f ' ' -V as QUIVERQQ Another fine example of local color is the Canadian Boat Song, supposedly written by Dunlap, a, true Celt, We quote a few lines to show the fine Celtic imagery: From the lone shieling in the misty island, Mountains divide us and a world of seas, But still our hearts are true, our hearts are Highland, And we in dreams behold the Hebrides. Coleridge was a master in his choice of melodious words. 'The verse A soft floating witchery of sound may well be com- pared with Tennyson's verse The horns of elf-land faintly blow- ing. In the line from Gray, And leaves the World to darkness and to me, we ilnd man and Nature in harmony and would classify the picture as literature of melancholy. We would conclude that the Romantic Poets were close observers of nature and needed only a word or two for accurate description. As examples we have wild whistling blackbirdsj' green-crested lapwingj' and the Hwhirring partridge. A poet for a long time neglected was the mystic, Blake. He was an artist as well and decorated his own books with engrav- ings. He believed that the world was peopled by fairies, angels, and demons. One of his poems begins, 'tO what land is the land of dreams ? Of all the poets he is, perhaps, the least understood. Wordsworth was most extreme in his views of nature. He believed that Nature had a conscious soul. It is said that little by little the glories of nature grew upon him until his soul seemed flooded with an unutterable delight. He not only loved nature, but the common people who lived near to nature. A fine example of this respect for manhood in lowly position is the pa- thetic story of Michael, the shepherd. We may take Tennyson as the worthy exponent of Roman- ticism in the Victorian Age. Distinguished by melodious Words and a charming versification, he is the poet beloved. Is not this description of a flower perfect,- the little speedwell's darling blue. Do you know the flower? If not, search for it in your ramblesg it will repay you. i i i Possibly most of the good poetry of today is. patroitic in tone. Alfred Noyes pays a fine tribute to the English soldier of the present war who sleeps his last sleep- on the field of battle, as well as the most chivalrous soldier of Elizabethan days, when he says, Soldier of England, perfect, gentle knight.

Clyde Auten, '18 CHANGE is in the air, in the minds and hearts of men, for this world, old as it is, is far from being ideal. The world is in bad need of repair, and God has probably chosen to bring about the advancement by a terrible catastrophe such as this present war. The betterment of the universe is bound to come, and, as it has come many times directly following great wars, so we may look for tremendous changes which could not have been brought about by any single nation or race of people. These changes must be made simultaneous by all, for the idea of race domination is entirely wrong. The masses now are more intel- ligent than ever. High-minded men come from the laborers' homes as well as from castles and mansions. All the changes will require time and cause bitter strife, but it is for the welfare of the world, and it is up to the young man and young woman of today to face and solve the problems. A league of all nations, whose aim will be to prevent such a war as the monstrous one in which we are now engaged, will be formedg but whether or not it will be able to prevent future wars remains to be seen. The tremendous task of settling the de- mands of all the various nations in Europe will fall upon our heads. The social betterment of all nations undoubtedly will be patterned after the best conditions in our own country. Men will no longer be separated by the distinct classes of labor and capital, although both classes will be required as long as the world exists. The future factories and shops will be more sani- tarv and healthful. After work, the laborer will be able to spend a pleasant hour or two in the recreation park, or in the public library, if his inclination sends him that way. Profit-sharing will be compulsory. Wonieii will share equally with men, for equal suffrage is no longer a question for debate. They will compete with men. eliminating the lazy, inefficient fellow of the present day. Their position in the home will no longer be one of drudgery and hard- ship, and the elimination of vice a.nd drink will lift the fear of wrecked lives through these causes. The children of the future will be better trained, as changes are already taking place which are raising the efficiency of the brain. A college education will be as common in a few years as the high school training is today, and just as essential. A sys- tem will have to be worked out whereby every person may have 'whatever education he or she may wish and in any branch which they may desire. The cost will be nominal enough to iit all pocket books. The spiritual side of man is also to undergo a tremendous change, for it does not meet the present day requirements. To- day a man needs something to draw him to the church and keen him there. The present day church is beginning to realize this. and is trying to solve the problem, but it is a big one and will require much work. Churches will be built with many of the conveniences of the modern hotels and athletic clubs. They will be constructed that the room dedicated to God's worship will ' -45- I 2 QUIVER not be used for any other purposes. They will include bowling alleys, swimming pools, shower baths, gymnasiurns, a. roof Sa-T' den, a large number of bed rooms, a good sized library, and a res- taurant. To this kind of a church, the stranger may tum at any time of the day or night and be Sure of 3, Qgmfortable lodg- ing and refreshment at a small cost. But the greatest of all problems will be the preservation of Fl, lasting peace through the disbanding of the armies and the making of wars illegal. This can never be done until the spirit of Prussian militarism is wiped forever from the world. The dream of world conquest which the Hohenzollerns have enter- tained must be banished forever from men's minds if this world is to be made safe for democracy, for while the spirit which is driving forward the armies of Berlin exists on the earth, no na.- tion is safe. When the war is finally over, when the armies of the Hun have been finally disbanded and his spirit crushed, when the entire Hohenzollern dynasty has been put where it ca.n tell no tales, then and not until then will this world be safe for democracy and humanity. 5553s Q I QUIVER I g gg Shall German be dropped from our Schools?

Mere prejudice these days in a very emphatic a 1 I I seems to be back of these answers, a prejudice which is the in- evitable result of war-times. Let us try to cast it to the winds and face the matter fairly. We are tremendously disappointed in Germany. For years our admiration has been unstinted, for her progress in every f scholarship to trade has been astounding. phase of life, rom - i . VVe not only regarded German universities as the home of sound ' ' id medi- scholarship and of the most advanced work in science ai cine but we also regarded her cities as models of efficient gov- ernment and her school system as admirably wise and thorough. This admiration has been wholly untinged by jealously, since, k that in democrats as we are by nature and inheritance, we now . spite of all our weaknesses as a people we still hold the one price- less possession which we would not exchange for all the elli- ciency in the world. Yes, we are at war with Germany! We have found out that the German government has for nearly half a century not only set about to deceive her own people but also, during the last decade and longer, has enlarged her Held of operations in order to hoodwink all peoples-ourselves included-all with the set se of becoming a world-power These aims have been fully purpo . attained at home by a painstaking supervision of the German educational system. People are largely what their schools make them and for over a generation now the German people have been going to school to their Kaiser-schoolmasters, who have taught them the most distorted facts and instilled into their minds, along with a chauvinistic love for the F'atherland, a hatred and envy for all potential foes. Are they after all so very much to be blamed for their present attitude toward their enemies? We ought to pity them rather. for their loyalty, a virtue for which they have been renowned in history, has become now a most tragic weakness. They find themselves today slaves in mind, body and soul, to their rulers. 'Vhe German people will learn the bitter lesson that loyalty to a corrupt government which has deprived them of their birthright --idealism and a love for truth, bequeathed to them by their own glorious men of genius, Goethe and Schiller,-is a crime, the ef- fects of which cannot for generations be effaced. Q lt is no wonder then, in our first feeling of rage at the misery into which Germany has plunged the world, we cry: Away with the German language! Drop it from our schools! Articles in magazines and papers have appeared and even in our own home paper we have read editorials to that effect. But are we not short-sighted after al1'?? Why is it that England and America have not realized what Germany has been doing the past half century? ls it very much to their credit that they did not know? If more of the leaders of these two countries had possessed a reading and speaking know- ledge of German, had had broad enough interests to read German books and newspapers, the two countries could not have failed to note the trend affairs were taking, for everything Germany has QUIVER done since the war began has been openly discussed and advo- cated with characteristic thoroughness for the last ten years. A few English scholars did try to enlighten England, but the leaders were deaf to them or laughed at their warnings, because of their total ignorance of German thought and aspirations. We as Americans were just beginning to develop a mild in- terest in affairs across the seas, but after all it has taken this -.var to show us that no people can live unto itself. Humanity is one and cannot be divided by difference of race or language. Now that we are realizing this truth as never before is it wise to go backward instead of forward? Let us rather keep Ger- man in the schools, if for no better reason than never again to allow our people to be in ignorance of the thought and intent of the German ruling class. We cannot leave the teaching of this language entirely to the college and the university. It is too diffi- cult and too much time elapses before the student becomes pro- ncient. The German government has seen the wisdom of encourag- ing its people to great achievements in every branch of human knowledge. How can we expect to cope with our enemies who have accomplished so much along these lines, if we refuse to un- derstand them? How are we to understand them if we cannot lead their books and newspapers? Why deprive ouiselx es of the knowledge of what they do and think of what they have ac romplished? There IS another reason for the continued study of German mhich can be discussed with more calmness and pleasure Should ue not appeal for the continued studv of a great litera ture whose like is to be found anong no other people?

His companion followed the boy's scornful gaze ' th and beheld two very attractive young ladies coming down e hall, arm in arm. One was resting her head upon the other's sht ulder, and talking very earnestly, and after having convinced her companion of something of evident importance, held up her left hand dramatically and displayed a ring. NVhereupon the bor with the loud tie uttered in a tone of apparent disdain, Second time this year, and jerked himself to an upright posi- tion. There goes the first bell, he added. Up and down the hall young voices floated in school gossip. Here and there were laughing groups of four or five. Between these groups, scattered up and down, young gentlemen were en- gaged in conversation with the young ladies high in their es- teem, while the honored maidens shyly twirled handkerchiefs or pencils. Q Suddenly the man with the red tie saw fear enter these happy faces, saw groups broken up and individuals walk rapidly io the session rooms at the end of the hall amid the warning whisper, The King! Around the corner he came, tall, majestic, a man of evident authority. Seems to have 'em pretty well trained, laughed the man. They certainly know when it is their move? Huh, grunted the boy, He makes us all so tired. They didn't seem to show any signs of fatigue a moment ago, laughed the man. Will you please explain, he added a moment later, what that paper is which the teacher at the table signs. Everyone seems to have one. That, said the boy in the sarcastic tone which only a seventeen-year-old can muster, is the official passport issued by the state department in the session rooms to allow one to pass to a certain room or instructer between the bells.

If they go it will be with the knowledge that their cause is right, and with that knowledge, they will not fail to do their duty as true Americans and students of the Pontiac High School. - Now at last, after so many years of waiting and hard work, we have come to that point in our lives to which we have looked with longing eyes. Perhaps some of us think our sentence of four years at hard labor has been mostly a waste of time, but let us look ahead into the future and leave the answer to it. Most of us are now ready and waiting to face the bigger problems of life ahead of us and we want to take life at its fullest-we all want everything that life has to give us, its joys as well as its sorrows and responsibilities, and we shall step into the great amphitheatre of the world with the knowledge that we are tak- ing the center of the stage just when the curtain is risin u o g n the greatest drama-and perhaps tragedy-the world has elver witnessed.

O11 September 28th, the annual Freshman Reception was tendered the entering class by the Seniors. From all stand- points the affair was the most successful ever given in the school and was voted by all a great improvement over the old style re- ception in which plenty of paint and horse-play were the most important features. A program in the Auditorium, at which Stewart Beach acted as chairman, preceded the dance in the gymnasium. The program consisted of an opening number by the High School Band, followed by a speech of welcome by the Senior President, Donald Fildew, and a response by the President of the Freshman Class, Floyd Boardman. A short speech by Principal S. M. Dudley, filled with good, wholesome advice for the newcomers, and solos by Milton Orman and George Willits, completed the program, after which the crowd which had as- sembled adjourned to the gymnasium, where dancing was en- joyed until twelve o'clock. A new feature was introduced at the door of the gym, where several of the teachers with whom the Freshmen would become acquainted in their classes met the un- der classmen in an informal manner. A Japanese note pervaded the decorative scheme of the gymnasium, and a liberal allot- ment of cosy corners made the room attractive. About 150 couples enjoyed the dancing. The affair was a tinancial suc- cess, the Senior Class clearing expenses with a good margin. if if 46 ti 1 I 1 ! Q gl 1? 2. 5.1 rl Wm? WQUIVE R9 Ml Girls' Cylee Club Concert. The Girls' Glee Club made its formal appearance on Octo- ber 30th, when a Liberty Loan concert was given by the girls, in the auditorium, the proceeds of which went to the purchase of a Liberty Bond. The affair was well attended and the audience was especially pleased with thc different selections which the girls gave. As a pa.rt of the program, the newly organized Girls' Quartet obliged with several numbers ,Which were Well re- ceived. The personnel of the quartet includes Misses Josephine Toynton and Marian Willits as first and second sopranos, re- spectively, and Misses Thelma Spencer and Ruth Welch as first and second altos. During the intermission, the long-talked-of community singing was instituted, under the direction of Harry Quayle, director of music in the schools. Community singing has been sweeping the country of late years and after a con- certed effort by several of those interested in music in the city, it was decided to inaugurate it at this concert.

A short program in the auditorium bylthe grade school children of the city opened the event, follow1ng,whlCh Mrs. Gertrude L. Beach gave an exhibition of her pupils' work in the gymnasium. The children went through their difficult paces in good shape and considerable credit is due them, as well as to the instructress. Physics. chemistry and physiography la- boratories were open, as well as the rooms of the domestic art, science, manual training and commerical departments, and these came in for their share of the interest. A short program in the auditorium, by the High School Orchestra and the Girls' Glee Club concluded the evening's entertainment. Punch and wafers were served the guests in the lunch room during the evening. 0 lf 8 Football Banquet. The annual Football Banquet was held in the lunch room on Wednesday evening, December 12th, with about one hundred students and townsfolk in attendance. Principal S. M. Dudley acted as toastmaster and the new twist which he gave to several rather musty jokes brought forth considerable laughter from the audience. Harry Quayle gave an excellent talk on Cowardice, handling the subject in a novel manner which proved very inter- esting. A poem by Miss Avery in which the deeds of the football team were related came in for its share of the applause. Coach Goodloe Rogers and Superintendent of Schools G. L. Jenner ob- liged with short talks filled with good advice and a whole lot of good horse sense. Edgar J.-Ebbels was the next speaker, but the depth of the jokes which he sprung on us was too much and most of them just went right over in the corner and stuck. We are not used to that deep stuff in high school. We got the last one, though, and enjoyed one good laugh, anyway. Clinton Vreeland, the retiring captain, and William Armstrong, the cap- tain-elect, were next called upon and though each affirmed that he was not a speaker, we enjoyed their few remarks. We are sure that the team made no mistake in giving Bill the honor of guiding its fortunes in 1918. A few appropriate remarks by Chairman Dudley closed one of the most interesting evenings of the school year. It 014 D fggiahigg 'fi sf! 'RF . 'A .

On Friday evening, December 14th, we held our annual l-'ootball Ball in the gymnasium, following a rather joke basket ball contest with Holly. Little attempt was made by the foot- ball boys who engineered the affair at decorations, it being their theory that those attending came to dance and not to look at Iussy decorations. Well, we agreed with them, and in the ab- sence of any decorations to look at, we danced, and danced, and danced some more. I think Phil's watch must have been a little off, for he didn't say a word and we kept right on until twelve o'clock, central time. It's the first time we ever put one like that over on Phil , and maybe he doesn't know it yet. We d.on't like to keep anything from him, though, so this is a good time to let him in on the secret. We had a good time, anyway, and all were sorry to leave when it did come time. if 91 ik A Scrap of Paper. Friday evening, November 7th, marked the production of A Scrap of Paper, by pupils of Edgar J. Ebbels' public speaking classes, under his personal direction. The proceeds from the production were turned over to Mr. Jenner, to be used by him in some patriotic work. The admission price was put at' a very low figure, to place it within the reach of all, and the result was all that could have been asked for. The auditorium was packed and fully a hundred people were turned away. The cast was too lengthy for personal mention to be made of any one character, but the play was so well cast that few criticisms could be made. All assumed their roles with an ease which bespoke of consider- able hard work on the part of the director, as well as on their own parts, and the piece gave place to considerable dramatic act- ing as well as to some of the comedy type. O ll i Those Sleiglrrides. I don't think we can do better, in speaking of our year's sleighrides, than to follow the reports given by our worthy con- temporary, The Tomahawk. Bruce Buchanan, who was re- sponsible for those write-ups, has first-hand knowledge of all sleighrides, and as he said that everyone had a good time on all of them, he ought to know. I remember him telling me enthu- siastically and confidentially after each one that he had some time, so if he said that, there's no use disputing it-and nobody wants to-for we all did have a good time, from the most digni- fied Senior to the smallest' and most undignified Freshman. One of the delightful features about sleighrides this year was the good school spirit which pervaded them all. Seniors were present on the Freshman sleighride, and Freshmen on the Seniorg we all -.-60- 251: 1 '- '2 f. - .xjxlgfglx-,'SJ' ' f-Qulvmr' mixed up together and had a good time. I notice that BYUC9 is not sparing in his praise of the eats and he says that at no one sleighride were they better than at another. One thing .of mem- orable note on the Sophomore sleighride was the beautiful time we had in tipping over. Twice the 'ibob overturned, and both times on the wrong side. Bruce says he wasn't on that bob, so I am quoting from some one else now. Misses Ethel I-fYt1e' Leitha Scott, Florence Ferrand and Wilma Scott proved delight- ful hostesses on the Senior, Junior, Sophomore and Freshinan sleighrides respectively. Mr. and Mrs. Phelps helped out liber- ally on chaperoning, while Miss Hinds, Miss Leighterness, Miss Heitsch, Miss Avery and Miss LeRoy finished the roster. All that we Seniors can say in echoing Mr. Buchanan is that we wish there had been another Freshman sleighridef' ill W lk The Lecture Course. Following their determination to give us the best lecture course yet, the Board of Education presented for our approval. early in the fall, the following numbers and dates: October 17th, the Oratorio Artistsg Nov. 6th, Dr. Ng Poon Chewg Nov. 28th, William Jennings Bryan: Jan. 14th, Miss Marie Mayer: March 19th, Miss Myrna Sharlowg May. May Festival. The first number, given by the Oratorio Artists, proved to be cue of the most delightful musical numbers which the lecture course brought forth. With a company composed of five artists of international repute, the quintette favored the audience with a grade of singing seldom heard in Pontiac. Mr. Reed Miller was especially well received. Dr. Ng Poon Chew, a Chinese journalist and statesman, was the second to appear before us, and his lecture was highly inter- esting in that it gave an insight into the situation of China at the present time which one can hardly gain from books. A na- tive of China himself, Dr. Chew came to this country at an early age to finish his schooling, and has been called the Father of Chinese Journalismjy because he is said to be the first Chinaman to publish a paper for his countrymen in their own language. His quaint humor was very pleasing and his address was filled with touches of wit which frequently called for much laughter from his hearers. On November 28th we were treated to a lecture on Funda- mentals, by William Jennings Bryan. Those who do not agree with Mr. Bryan in his political views-and there are many-have never been accused of saying that he has not a wonderful gift for oratory, and those who have once heard him cannot be but im- pressed by the forceful manner in which he carries his argument without any perceptible effort upon his part. The storv is told by a young man who, with his father, went to attend a Demo- cratic mass meeting at which Bryan was to speak. Both father and son were in sympathy with the Republican party. When asked the next day how they liked Bryan the son replied: Well, when we woke up, we found ourselves on our chairs, cheering HQUIVE R with the rest of the Democrats. And that is just how Mr. Bryan impressed us all. Not that we cheered or did anything like that, --Pontiac audiences rarely become so enthusiastic,-but we did applaud vigorously and let the speaker know that we appreciated his remarks. Mr. Bryan devoted the opening moments of his lec- ture to a short talk upon the war, following which he launched into his lecture on Fundamentals The address was inter- spersed with anecdotes of his own political career, which kept a spirit of htunor alive through the serious parts and dispelled any touch of dullness from the talk. Miss Marie Mayer was unable to make her appearance at the ti1ne she was scheduled, because of the tie-up of trains fol- lowing the blizzard, but on February 21st, she appeared to keep her engagement. Miss Mayer was the Mary Magdalene of the Passion Play at Oberammergau in 1910, and her lecture dealt with the story of that famous presentation of the Divine Agony. She told of how the people, when saved from the ravages of a terrible plague, in the seventeenth century, had pledged them- selves to give the Passion Play every tenth year, and of how they have kept their vow until this day. Miss Mayer's vivid person- ality, with the quaint accent which pervades her speech, endeared her to the audience, and all spoke highly in praise of her work. Miss Myrna Sharlow, prima donna of the Chicago Grand Opera Company, and reputed to be the finest number on the lecture course, lived up to her reputation in every detail. She is possessed of a charming personality, which, together with her pleasing soprano voice, gives her an appearance on the stage which is irresistible. Her program ranged from the old Scotch ballad Loch Lomond to the aria One Fine Day from Mar- ha. She was accompanied by a violinist and pianist whose work was in every detail in harmony with that of the accom- plished vocalist. As we go to press plans have not as yet been completed for the May Festival which it IS expected W111 be given some time during the latter part of that month It will consist of two evenings entertalnment the first to be given by the grade school children of the city and the second to be an opera The Bos un s Br1de given by the members of the high school chorus Lest we forget that Faculty Basket Ball Game Wednesday March 13th marked the first and let us hope It will not be the last p lbllC appearance of our vsell beloved fa culty upon the basket ball floor The occaslon was one which will live long in the memorx of the students and we lmaglne 1n more than the memory of the far-ultv if u e may belleve the words of some of the members of their team It all grew out of the or wipe up the fioor with all comers They defeated the thlrd team and the Anti Sluggers then turned to the faculty as thelr next 66 91 ii 13 If I 7 l 3 t 37 3 , .

Pride goeth before a fall, and such a fall as it was! It was a regular landslide, for the faculty literally snowed them under. It doesn't matter especially what the score was- l've forgotten, to tell the truth, but it was a good big one, for the faculty, and a very small one, for the Sluggers. A band turned out, composed of some of the rather doubtful musicians of the school, and lent noise to the occasion during the intermissions with renditions of Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here. We fear that the Sluggers imagined before the game started that they would have a cinch. We looked at Mr. Allen's seven feet something, at Doc LeFevre's bulk. and were a bit doubtful. Of course, We didn't think anything about the other members of the team.- that is, before the game started. Then Referee Todd blew his whistle. We saw Mr. Allen easily tip the ball back to Mr. Phelps, who eluded his man and passed to Coach Rogers, who dropped the ball into the net with no apparent trouble. Then we sat up and took notice. We noticed several things and one of the things we could not help noticing was Mr. Phelps. because wherever we looked, he was there, that is, providing the ball was there too. X-Ve never saw anyone who was in quite so many places at once. Mr. Jenner said that he was the fastest man he had seen on the iioor this year, and after watching his performance, we agree with him. Curlie Auten was reputed to be the best man on the Sluggers' outfit, so Harry Quayle was commissioned to watch him, and Curlie,' never reached for the ball but what he found this insistent Irishman there before him. It certainly wasn't fair, and it got Curlie awfully exasperated, you know. He said so himself, and we fear that he told Mr. Quayle so. but not quite in those terms. Harry didn't mind, though, and kept right on the Windward side of Curlie until the end of the game. We all enjoyed seeing Mr. Dudley and Mr. Travis play, too. The former never misses a chance to allude to his performance. and person- ally, we think he is just a bit proud of it. Well, we can't blame him, and We hope they'll all get out again next year. .ill- Ye School Calendar. A Chronology of the Year's Most Ilnportant Events.

The success of the pilot de- pends as much on his eiiiciency with the gun as on the way he maneuvers his machine. The camera plays a very important part in aerial warfare, and every pilot must know it thoroughly. On his accuracy with it many lives depend. Often a machine is sent up to photograph a position while a whole battalion is waiting for the map which will be made from this picture. The speed wth which these pic- tures are made is almost incredible. The time which elapses from the departure of the machine and the moment the map is placed in tlhe hands of the commanding officer is a matter of minutes alone. Then there is the wireless. Every pilot must be an expert wireless operator. Gun fire is directed by this means. He must observe the distance and direction from the target the shells burst and send corrections accurately. This work must be car- ried on with anti-aircraft shells bursting all about the machine. Bomb-dropping is also very important. Every pilot must know how to drop bombs. This seems simple enough to the lay- man, but it is far from being ea.sy. ln this, many factors have to be considered. Bombs cost too much money to be dropped at random. When men enlist in the cadet wing of the Royal Flying Corps, they are first sent to a ground school, where they are taught the theory of things pertaining to aerial warfare. Then they are sent to an elementary squadron, where they are taught To fly. After they have completed a certain number of hours solo flying, they are given tests which bring them all up to a cer- tain standard of efficiency before they commence the higher training. On completing these tests, they are posted to another training squadron, to learn the use of the wireless in the air, to take photographs, to read ground signals, and to learn how to drop bombs. After this work is satisfactorily completed, they are sent through the school of aerial gunnery, where they get the use of machine guns in the air. Here they are given fighting practice and shoot at towed targets. After completing this course, a stiff examination decides whether the cadet shall be given a commission or not. , QASSED. Kenneth W.

Grandemont Tansey happened to clerk in a drug store, which fact detracts nothing from tlhe tale of his test, and adds much to it.

His face dropped into the upturned palms of his hands as if guided by habit. It was in the quiet of late afternoon and visitors to the drug store had been few for the last half hour. The proprietor had long since left. Probably by this time he was eating supper with his family, thought Grandemont, While he, only a clerk, was gloomily existing at his tasks until the other should return and release him for the even- ing. For Tansey was allowed every other evening off-every other evening in which he might betake himself speedily to his boarding house in the ecstatic hope that this might be one of those rare occasions when Mary. ever popular with other board- ers, lacked an engagement. Perhaps-, he mused, perhaps- l might- Will you fill this with chloroform right away, please? Tansey started guiltily, and looked up. It was an accustomed patron of the store, one of the town's few physicians, who spoke, and Tansey felt more comfortable. To have been caught idly dreaming by an acquaintance was less condemning to him, any- way. Yes, surely, he replied, as he accepted the glass con- tainer and started toward the rear of the store. What would Mary say if she knew he had been so engrossed in thoughts of her that he had allowed a customer to enter the store unseen and unheard, he wondered. Tansey was conscientious, if not bold. Absenltly he found the chloroform, filled the bottle, and pushed the larger one back on the prescription desk, out of the way, there to remain temporarily until he returned the smaller to its owner. The change placed in the physician's hands, Tan- sey returned to the desk and, carefully wiping the neck of the bottle, partly to pass the time and partly from habit, he set it down again. Then he reached for the wiping cloth to put it away and as he drew it from the desk-shucks! he'd left the bottle on it and there it went, stopper out, rolling and spilling its contents all over the desk. Tansey grasped for it. Luck helped him for once and he caught it before it struck th-e floor. Nasty mess. Probably take the varnish off the desk. Old man'll think Fm getting clumsy, he said to himself. So he cleaned it up 'right away and thought nothing further of it. This was his night off, and Mary might be home when he a.rrived. Ho there, Grandy. Where away? a cheerful voice hailed him. Tansey looked up. Hello, Buzz, he replied. Just on my way home to sup- per. Then to himself, That won't tell him that Mary might be nomef' Oh, I see. Hurrying along because pretty little Ma.ry's wait- ing for you at the door with a kiss, eh? bantered the other. Tansey flushed. Better pass her up tonight and come on over to iinish off that pool game with the boys. You can eat down- own. Tansey hesitated. Buzz had evidently guessed his purpose, right. Maybe he'd better just have a game or so to put them init the grack, and then he could hurry up to the house only alittle a e. till- Oh well, all right, he finally acquiesced. -74- C ffewz l 5. 2 Qi 5 . a , ii 4. if ka B X 1 it me Z- ? i. g, , QUIVER One game passed. Then two, three, and four. Tansey put up his cue. Buzz glanced up and with a smile of mock wisdom turned to the others of the group circumventing the green ex- panse. Well, for the love o' Mike, old Grandy's so far gone on Mary Peers' yellow curls that he quits the bunch to go home to her in the middle of the evening. The rest laughed loudly feigning astonishment. The Grandemont in Tansey rose to the fore. Here was one chance to show them. Oh, well, if you fellows think vou know so much about my affairs, I'll show you how far off you are by sitting here, without playing a single game the rest of the even ing. How's that? The others took the challenge. All right. Fine. Go to it! they cried, delighted to see the embarrassment written in crim son on the timid youth's face So Grandemont found a chair in a corner of the smoky bil liard room and thrust himself into it with an unmistakable air of determination such as seldom marked his movements. Won deringly he thought of his quick-spoken wordsg he had even clenched his teeth as he spoke them. Did they signify the birth of a new courage in his almost crmging nature? Would he have any more strength to speak a wholesome good morning to Mary tomorrow? For he had in that one brief instant sentenced himself to allow one free evening to pass without going home in the vain hope that Mary might lack an engagement, might even honor him with a delirious game of checkers, as she had once done. True, he reflected sadly, that one game had been suggested by Mary's mother. Before he sat down Tansey had not noticed how smoke-filled was the room. Now it seemed to him that great, overwhelming billows of blue tobacco smoke swept toward .him, obscuring the lights and making indistinct the figures moving about the tables at the farther end of the room. Then his thoughts wandered again to the sudden display of temper which had brought about his enforced idleness for the rest of the evening. His chin dropped to his chest, his half-closed eyes sought the Hoor as he mused. Would it be possible that he might nurse the feeble flame of spirit that had flickered momentarily till it could rival the fire of his ardor, which he dared not could not, bring to ex pression in cold words? His head sank lower on his chest sey had allayed suspicions concerning his apparent intentions in going home, Tansey rose and started to his room. But that new born hope of strength to free his fettered tongue would not away Glory of glories-was it to be that he could bring himself to speak what was in his heart? It was with one foot upraised contemplating the first of the steps leading to the home of his Mary, that Grandemont Tansey begot his Inspiration. Long in coming, the big thought crystal llzed swiftly in his mind once it had conquered stubborn mertia He would enlist! That was it.. Then he could be Tansey Grandemont, the friendlv, likeable warrior, known for his prowess instead of whimsical traits. His country needed men, too. Every circumstance seemed to conform itself to his dashing plan. When other men in tlhe boarding house were twit tlng with Mary, or boldly taking her to the motion pictures, he . , , - The evening successfully finished, successful insofar as Tan- -75... QUIVER would be commanding her secret admiration with his noble deeds in war. And then, afterward-but it was too soon for that just now. Ever had pains from your eyes? It was the last question of a long list the navy recruiting surgeon asked of Tansey. No, sir, he allowed respectfully, plainly awed by the amazing skill of this uniformed man who seemed to know all about the human body and its accustomed frailties. All right, then, I guess you'll do. Ready to leave? Y-Yes-sir. Tansey hadn't thought before to consider that he would have to leave the Peers' happy circle to do his fighting. This was a new phase. But it was too late now to falter. It was disconcerting, nevertheless. And so it came to pass that some months later Tansey, or rather Grandemont, was aboard the Dauntless as a seaman in the service of his country. The good little destroyer was on patrol duty, protecting invaluable cargoes of food crossing the Atlantic to sustain our Allies until the Great Nation could supplement food shipments with thousands upon thousands of trained fighters. , Darkness came with a vengeance that night. The cold, piercing gray of the afternoon settled into utter blackness that engulfed everything. No lights visible aboard ship-no sounds save the droning throb of the powerful turbines and the heavy swish of seas that swept the decks as the destroyer dove, rolled and plowed onward. Rough night, shivered the retiring watch as Tansey came on to relieve him. Yeah.,' The voice rose strongly from the depths of a great slicker that seemed almost to be drawn over the head of the speaker. Little time to be wasted, though, in converse here. A man s job was there in the short hours of his watch, Tansey knew. Grimly he secured the knot in the stout line that had cheated storming crests of other nights of their human prey when the black sea had seemingly tried to smother the whole craft. Dark minutes passed, unbroken save by the wearing drive of the waves in their prolongation of the age-old battle between man and the elements. The Dauntless plunged and tossed, her decks now high, now awash. It would seem for an instant that she could not drive on, would simply be twisted and rent asun- der by the huge waves. But always her nose poked out of one rest, quivering, ready to attack the next and rejoicing in the con- est. Suddenly Tansey was caught, braced and secured as he was, unable to resist the onsweep of many feet of roaring waters. He felt as though the Dauntless had gone down under his feet. Over- board he went, his line snapped as though a frail cord. How long he was able to keep afloat in the raging sea Tan- sey never knew. It seemed countless ages to him. He was weakening rapidly, tired almost. to utter exhaustion, because of the terrific battering he had received on the ship and the weight of the heavy clothing that now was a stone about his neck. Dark- ness still guarded the tragic situation jealously. The Dauntless had probably held it necessary for her existence to bear on with- out endangering the rest of her crew to pause in a superhuman .-7 61 Y, Q, E 1 2 54- 1 12 ' W l- Z F 6 -I ' ef fi' 'S 5 's a gift. - ' tin- f QUlVER search for one man, if indeed they had even missed him, yet. Tansey felt, rather than saw, a gigantic billow about to break upon him. Weakly, dumbly, he raised one hand above his head as though to ward off a blow. His fingers touched a cold, hard object. His puzzled brain was too dazed to comprehend, but his fingers joyfully closed over it. The crash came before he gained it for his own. He gasped as if for his very life's breath and struggled to open his eyes to pierce the blackness and learn what had struck him. He gasped weakly again. There before him he saw a dense maze of tobacco smoke. At his feet a billiard cue rolled noisilv along the floor, while a group of young men who looked familiar stood rollicking with laughter, gazing at him. Tansev felt a sharp pain in his neck. He stroked it reflec- tivelv. His mind rebelled at consecutive operation. Slowly he began to piece together such fragmentary recollections as came to him. He recalled that he had intended to go home-Marv was there: then he'd entered a ,game of pool with the fellows who stood laughing there like monkevsg that he had vowed to sit in the billiard hall until it closed. H-in-m. He must have domed off, the tobacco smoke was pretty thick, anyway. Come on. Grandv. Through with vour nap yet? lt was the ioking Buzz who spoke. You must have been put to sleep by a hold-up man. Got all your money in your pockets? Put to sleep. The strain shook Tansey from his lethargy. Sure enough. That was it. The chloroform he spilled in the drug store. He had probably inhaled more than he thought for and didn't notice it while he was in the cool evening air outside He gazed ruefullv at the cue on the floor. In the intensity of his recent immersion in the icv Atlantic he had raised a hand and loosed the cue from the rack on the wall over his head Somewhat shamefacedly Tansey rose, replaced the cue, and went out. Separating himself from the crowd at his corner, he turned his face homeward his romantic nature fired by his ex ploit in the realm of grisly men and boiling seas. Though only a dream, it stirred him to depths unknown before. Surely his courage had received nourishing stimulus from his venture enough to put him on a plane with real men hereafter His muscles still cramped and his neck stiff, he was re-livin parts of his drama as he mounted the steps of the Peers home and grasped the door. Then caution urged him to be more quiet lest he Wake Mary Very faint, a slight rustle in the front room off the hallway escaped Tansev's notice as he silentlv struggled to close the re sisting door after him. A nervous, feminine finger reached foi the lamp on the table and turned the burning wick lower instead of higher, in its nervousness. Tansey turned to ascend to his room, but a sound at the doorway of the front room made him hesitate. His heart bounded miles and miles upward There stood Mary, more lovely than ever, low-burning lamp ill hand. How dare you stamp about so noisilv at this hour of the night when I was trying to sleep? she asked, a very red lip low ering just a trifle. Her own room was on the second floor I-, well-er- . Tansey faltered. Visions of his earlier QUIVER courage flitted past his rapidly clouding intellect. A i . Dangerously near the trembling point, a nervous, .feminine finger reached toward the lamp and turned the low-burlng flame wholly out, instead of higher, in its nervousness. Tansey was in a panic. He turned helplessly toward the place where the lamp had been. The darkness was as jet. Tansey's knees cried out for strength, i A dainty warm hand fumbled at his sleeve, then sllpped down to his hand, quite as if by chance, as one might seek guid- ance in the dark. i 'fAre you there, Tansey? It was Mary's most beautiful voice that he heard, floating to his ears over miles of troublous black waters. . There was a delicate feminine, expectant cough. Tansey trembled almost audibly. I-I-er-think-I-have, Tansey drew a desperate breath, have-another-match. He had. His eager fingers hastily lighted the wick, not yet cold. And Tansey fled to his room as if pursued, there to dream of stealing a kiss from a golden haired maid with red, red lips. SOLDIERS OF DAWN. ' Ethel Leighterness. Out from the meadows and the glens, Out from the sheltered mountain side, Across the rivers, thro the woods, They come in all their manly pride, Soldiers of dawn, marching away, Out of the dark into the day. No dream of conquest fills their souls, No hope of vain pride's golden store, No fear for what the morrow holds, The night of selfishness is o'er. Soldiers of dawn, the shadows past, Lo! Comes the light of day at last! They hear the call of men oppressed, They see the light in children's eyes Die out in pain.-.Across the wastes Of Flanders rings a mother's cries. And life and hope are dying there In France, the noble and the fair. They swear allegiance to no king Except their God who bids them go, They bow before no scepter grim, They march, like men, to meet the foe. Upon their faces shines the light Of holy purpose and of right. So on the roads of Picardy They throng with eager, willing feet, And life is sweet this spring-time day, But death they do not fear to meet. They fight to set all nations free, To save the world for liberty! X., -7s- , .Q 2 QllIVl'IR, g ..:'t'. 1 Q1-mr-. A Voyage to Angola Ruth Quine McBride NGOLA, with its area of 484,700 square miles. is thus consid erably larger than Texas and California, our two largest states, combined. It has a population of over 4,000,000 inhabi tants, and probably Americans know far less of it than of any other colony of equal size in the world. lt is Portugal's largest possession and Angola is, incidentally, about fourteen times larger than its mother country. Vile started on our journey of exploration in this vast section of West Africa from Lisbon and well do we remember our arri val at the quay, which was crowded with people. all bustling about in the excitement of departure. VVe pushed our way to the gang plank and were soon on board the Loanda. a very aged 3,000 ton steamer already Hlled with many varied and cu rious types, making up the passenger list of a tropic-bound ves sel. There were Portuguese soldiers in their poorly-made, blue grev cotton uniforms, officers with their trim, red-bound caps looking Portuguese woman with her pretty dark eved olive complexioned children. The steamer pulled out into the bay after many painfully tearful leave-takings, and there we had our iirst view of Lisbon from the water and found considerable jus tice in the expression Ha second Naples. The trip down the Ta gus passed rapidly and the steamer was soon out in the Atlantic with her nose turned southward. We touched at beautiful Ma deira, spent two interesting days among the Cape Verde Islands with their hot, barren mountains, slowly passed the shores of Sierra Leone and Liberia, dimly visible on the horizon, left piles of boxes, crates and barrels on the Island of Sao Thorne, on the Equator, and, incidentally, took on board about 200 half-naked blacks-Sevicaes-who had been working on the cocoa planta tions and were being repatriated to the Colonies from which they had been recruited. This addition to our passenger list was though interesting in the extreme, of doubtful value to our com O traders of every size and color, and here and there, a motherly- QUIVER fort. The vessel was small and so, during the four days from Sao Thome to Loanda, it was difiicult to promenade on the decks where our new arrivals sat in groups during the day and stretched out flat at night. Thus it was natural that on the morning of the twenty-iifth clay on board, we were glad indeed when the Captain announced that St. Paul de Loanda, the capital of Angola, would be sighted within a few hours. Having expected to see the dim line of land on the horizon gradually emerge into beautiful hanging palms and other brilliant green verdure, it was somewhat disappoint ing, as the ship drew nearer, to find cliffs almost as high as those of Dover stretching along as far as the eye could see and not beautifully white like the English cliffs, but a dark, sandy-look ing red which seemed to spell blazing sun and malarial fever almost devoid of vegetation. The steamer slowly entered the large bay of Loanda, formed on one side by terra firma, and on the other by a long, narrow sand pit, which makes the port entirely calm. On this long, nar row island, were three or four little white buildings and a group or two of drooping palm trees, which were the only outward in clication that we were in the tropics. Going around to the other side of the steamer we had our first view of the town Loanda and after the disappointing aspect of the coast along which we had been running, were pleasantly surprised. Vanished the pic tures we had conjured up of a little jungle own with mud houses and thatched roofs-we saw a charming city of some 36,000 souls with the white, pink, yellow and green business blocks, all with red-tiled roofs, lined along the water front, and behind them on surrounding elevations, the smaller residential houses-much like Portuguese seaport towns the world over. The steamer anchored and the Portuguese Medico, cus- toms officers and others came out to us in row boats. We bun- dled our belongings and ourselves into one of the many boats that came alongside and were soon making for the pier at a good rate with four brawny half-naked blacks tugging at the oars. -80- F Y V - M .,,. ,.,.

Coming down the other side are the fine buildings of the American Mission and the nearly completed church, built entire- ly by converted natives-the first Protestant church to be built in the Colony. Along the sea front We discovered another church almost sunken in the sand, so old that it cannot be used. The bell still hangs in its little open archwav of stone, and the date inscribed over the door is 1647, a momento of days when the Dutch sent out an expedition and conquered the Colony. They held it from 1641 to 1648, when it reverted to the Portuguese. At this time the country had its certain sinister importance because of the fact, as the histories tell us, about fifteen thousand slaves had been annually exported thence to Portuguese Brazil. Going back still further for the explanation of this thriving old World town so far from the other parts of the civilized world, it is found that Diego Cam first explored the coast in 1486 and that Loanda was founded in 1578. Altogether we spent three months in Angola and made some interesting excursions into the interior where, within an hour from the Seacoast towns, one finds almost unexplored tropical jungle, with occasionally a typical native village, often dirty and squalid, with its little bamboo or mud huts. Every day we made fresh discoveries in this West African land, and now that we look back upon it, we feel the fascination of the Silent Coast -hav- ing already forgotten the fever, the mosquitos, the torrents of rain and other disagreeable things, and remembering 0-nly the bright sun, the green palms, the cheerful pattering of native feet, and the laughing faces of the little pickaninnies. 1821 ' ' f ' l, Y 'rg ii : -.

I'm goin' now. The ex-burglar finished his narrative of blood and thunder, and looked out at the black night. Then he turned and said simply, I wish one of you guys would go with me-I'm scared. Alan rose and said, 'tMy car is outside. I'll run you over to the station. And they walked out together. Mr. Mann sat thinking, and then got up and closed the win- dow which the maurauder had entered, and locked it. Then he went downstairs, and while the young folks were fixing the re- freshments in the dining room, he told the Psychic Research So- ciety what had happened. Yes, young Henderson gave me the first clue by showing me the revolver, which had fallen behind Meg's chairg then he pointed to the open window, and called my attention to the prox- imity of the closet. The man was almost hysterical, and was sobbing and prayingg he was so grateful to me for being a man and not a spirit, that he told me where I could collect all the bounties offered for him. It seems he had met a medium in some of his wanderings, and she had invited him to one of her seances. One of his old pals came and talked to him through her, and warned him to be careful. He was impressed, and yet he felt that she was a member of some gang, and had chosen that way to tell him to get out of the city. Now he firmly believes that all the ghosts of the people he has robbed are after him, and will kill him. It looks as though our seance tonight had saved Meg's life. But it was here that he was told of the children's part of the affair. For a moment, he looked chagrined, then bursting into a hearty laugh, he said: Bless their hearts! That sounds just like Martha! At the next meeting, Dr. Thomas told the other members that he had been investigating and had found that the burglar- ghost needed an operation to make him a normal-minded citi- zen. Science had discovered that criminals were caused by bone pressure or some growth on the head, and therefore-- and with this cause the Doctor delivered a lecture on the science of the matter. It was finally proposed to collect the rewards offered for his capture and have the necessary work done. And to go ahead of the story a few years, this was done, and the burglar devoted his life to the study of the Psychic, and gained much information for the scientific world. it ll! 'lk A group of women were seated on the broad hotel veranda, and toward this group came a young man. As he drew near, he heard one say laughingly to another: My dear Mrs. Henderson, you are positively uncanny. You take the thoughts right out of my mind. You should be a medium: you are so susceptible to thought waves. Yes, I'm like my mother in that, was the reply of the young woman. . And a few moments later to the young man: Alan, why did you take me away so roughly?

The cruelties inflicted by Spain continued until our goverment recog- nized in the cries of those oppressed people, the call of duty, the duty of the strong to help the weak. Our government declared war upon Spain, not for conquest or gain, but because we wished to see the struggling Cubans enjoy those principles of liberty and freedom for which America stands. This war has a significance which the people at large, en- grossed as they were in economical problems, possibly did not comprehend. Spain, the might power of old, Was possessed of a colonial policy which had successively lost for her her posses- sions in America. Our nation, founded upon principles of liberty and freedom, though very young, destroyed by this blow the intolerable, selfish, imperialistic colonial policy of Spain. America, entering the war for an ideal, not only succeeded in de- stroying a policy of tyranny, but gave liberty and freedom to a people who craved it. We are now engaged in the greatest strife the world has ever known. In the course of our development as a nation, we have fought for many principles, but never for such broad prin- ciples as those concerned in this war. We know Why we are in the war: that Democracy might live, and for the cause of hu- manity. Is it surprising then that there should be this great re- vival of ideals? For after reviewing these wars, their causes and results, we must agree that we are in a time of revived ideals, not new ones. V It is altogether right and justifiable that we should think of Democracy a11d Americanism as one great spirit for, during the time in which our country has developed from a few colonies to a nation, she fought and struggled for those principles of freedom and justice which are the essence of Democracy And now, inspired with the same courage and strength of purpose which our Pilgrim Fathers brought forth, America. is battling that all the peoples of the earth might live under the glorious principles of liberty and freedom which our country herself has established. It is a part of our duty to fully comprehend and appreciate these principles and ideals, and we must realize the necessity for keeping alive the spirit of true Americanism. Many of us may never play a spectacular part in the world's drama, but it is the constant daily living that is to keep alive these ideals of fxniericanism. May We, as workers for our noble America, the land of strength, principle and high purpose, do our part, how- ever small, that these ideals shall never again lie dormant in the hearts of Americans.

In reporting the year's work of the Tomahawk, we hardly know where to begin and where to end, our activity having been so vast during the months of the school year. If We are to be- gin with the election of oflicers early in the year, which is prob- ably as good a place as any to begin, we would say that the board elected at that time seemed highly capable of editing a credit- able magazine, and accordingly we set to work. The result has been four numbers, and as we give this to the Quiver we are threatening to put out another. The Tomahawk has been changed from a monthly publication to an occasional , one, but notwithstanding this fact, we claim that we have gone in for quality rather than quantity this year, and the results have been very gratifying. We have received several compliments on our make-up and stories of which we are justly proud. We want to take this opportunity to thank the students for the support they have given us, and I wonder if We might be'ex- cused for saying that it was mighty little that we got.in the Way of contributions. However, an editorial staff never grumbles, and that is not what we are writing this for. You who know the student body as well as we, have probably wondered Where We got all 'our stories, jokes and articles during the school year with which we filled our pages, but this is no time for the divulging of secrets, and we will only say that we have had several faithful onles who have not been a bit particular as to what name We placed at the top of their excellent contributions: Anonymous or Luke McLuke, it was all the same to them, and we are tak- ing this opportunity of giving them our sincere thanks.

We feel that Q! 'the appreciation which the audience showed of our work, amply repaid us for the long practices which have been necessary. The tireless work of our director in preparing us for the play is well appreciated, and without her, the production of the play would have been impossible The Taming of the Shrew is probably one of the most dif flcult of Shakespeare's plays to present, in that it calls for con siderable character work of a nature which can be produced only after long and careful study. The cast took hold of the play in an enthusiastic manner and left no doubt as to its success Q The club has enjoyed no social affairs during this year, the only times when the members have been together for anything other than business, having been the two suppers which we en joyedin the lunch room on days when Miss Aevry did not dare lose track of us long enough to allow us to go to our homes Following is the dramatis personae of the play QUIVLIV' i .

Early in the season we got together und elected our ofiicers, but it was found that our meetings were poorly attended. 'xfter a Consultation of the exet-utive board of the t-lub and Mr. lt llllu' the regu- Dudlev, it was decided to hold a series of debates t 1' ,, lt of this the first one took plat-t .tx lar Chapel periods, and a resu . on October 29, when a. national Constitutional aniendnient in fa- vor of woman suffrage was discussed. The athrinative, with Messrs. Louis Stenipliy, Donald Mt-tlowan and Maurice Moule as its representatives. easily took the det-isiou. The losers were Donald Mctlaffey. Stewart Beat-h. and Brut-e lkuc-liaiiani Novem- ber 27 saw the staging of the sec-ond debate, this time with ai pro- gressive inheritance tax as the argument. Messrs. Townsend, Hallaok and .Ienks took Iirst plat-e with the ailirniative side. with Messrs. Auten, Phillips and lilarentay as the losers. The third ' A -- 'oi tussle of the series took plat-e on llet-eniber li, with tht g,oy 'n- nient ownership of railroads holding the renter ot' tht- stage. Again the affirmative won, held up by the sanie te-aiu as in the second debate, while Messrs. Steniplly, Mt-tlowan and Nonlo were losers. The last of the sc-hool series was held on .lauuiury Bl. and was of a rather farccial nature. We never heard quite so many Words expended to say nothing before in our lives. And it was no worse on one side than another. We felt after that dt-- bate t.hat our school debate-rs would be good on the Iiriug line, nt least if gas warfare were to be used.

McGowan, Beach and McGaffey, was awarded the decision. Jenks, Townsend and Stenipily were on the short end of the score. On February 9, the oflicial high school team journeyed to New Baltimore, to engage in the Iirst interscholastic debate in which Pontiac has ever participated. Messrs. Jenks, Townsend and Stempfly made up the personnel of the team, with Donald McGowan going along as a sort of combined substitute, rooter, and press correspondent. We are sorry to report that the de- bate was not successful from our standpoint. Whether the boys were over-confident, or just what was the cause of the defeat, we are not sure, and as we are not good at alibis, we will just say that they were beaten because the other side had the better ar- gument a,nd let it go at that. Let us hope that those who will lead the school in debating next year will be able to guide our Eortunes to the victory in the tlnal contest for the supremacy of the state.

I say better known be- cause every .one knows the baud, whether they're in school or out. They can't help it, for we play loud enough for everyone to hear us. No, we don't save anyone's feelings. We play anywhere and everywhere, and every time anyone wants any music or just plain noise they call on the band. We've been patriotic this year, too, in lending our services each time the draft men have left for Camp Custer. Rain or shine, we've sent them off on the eight o'clock train and we've made nearly as much noise as the City Band ever could. At concerts we usually play The Enchantressf' We stopped calling it that two or three years ago, though, so we have to think of a new name every time we play it. The crowd doesn't know the difference-at least not all of them-and we don't forget what Lincoln said about being able to fool some of the people all the time. We ha,ven't had many pay jobs this year, but then, when We just play for the fun of the thing, who cares about the money? The School Board lets us have a little bit when we need it, but we don't have to ask very often. All the the same, we appre- ciate their good will and know that they're back of us all the time. That helps a whole lot. Sometimes we don't have enough uniforms to go around, because someone always leaves his at home, but that's how the people know us when we play down- town. If they didn't see someone without a uniform they might think it was the City Band, and that wouldn't be quite the thing, yon know. We're awfully sorry to lose some of our Seniors this year, but We hope they'll come back and play with us sometimes. We're sure, anyway, that they won't soon forget the jolly good times they've had with the High School Band. THE ROSTER CORNETS-Dudley, Lyons, Batchelor, Beach, Sadler, Moule. ALTOS-Porter, Sovey.

Books were secured early in the year con- eral numbers of a. really difficult character and the taining sev manner in which the students took hold of the work of getting . . t. them into shape for public presentation was more than gra 1- tying. The orchestra has been able to help out this year at many of h rf ances of the school year and at all of the perform- t e pe orrn ances it has been well received. As few of those who have been ' ' ' t t ear leaders in the orchestra work this year will gradua e, nex y should be an even more successful year under the able direction of Mr. Quayle. QUIYER9 -112- 4 , QUIVER i The Chorus The year of 1917-18 has been a most successful one for the chorus and all who have had anything to do with it have felt that they have been amply repaid for the time which they have spent. The chorus was organized during the second week of school, un- der the direction of Harry Quayle, supervisor of music in the schools, and under his able direction, during the first semester, the pupils were given instruction in reading music, as well as in doing some two and three-part singing. The results were very gratifying, and the students took hold of the instruction in a way which could not help but bring success to their efforts. Many chapel assemblies were enlivened by the singing of some of the delightful folk songs and old time melodies, the learning of which was a part of the work of the chorus for the year. At the beginning of the second semester, the study of an opera was begun, this year, The Bo'sn's Bride. Though not a Gilbert and Sullivan piece, as has been presented in former years by the chorus, it follows the same rollicking style of those well- known composers, and the pupils enjoyed it very much. The cul- mination of the study of the opera was reached in its presenta- tion, on June 7 and 8, before crowded houses. It was originally planned to have the opera but one evening, but popular demand decided that another performance was necessary. Both the prin- cipals and the chorus handled their parts in a manner which be- spoke great interest upon their own parts, as well as tireless Work by the director, and considerable praise is due them. The gratifying manner in which the chorus has entered into the spirit of its work this year promises great' things for the chorus next year, and with the entrance of many Freshmen, into the class, and the retaining of many of the principals of the cast, next year's play should prove as popular as the Bo'sn's Bride has done. -113- QUIVER ' 1 111 f I Y if ' aff' 1 f A31-. 11133, I Exif- ., I W Y Y QUIVER Under the Direction of Edgar J. Ebbels. Department of Public Speaking Enrollment of students in the public speaking classes for this year has been very large, and the interest taken in the work has been exceptional. As no credit is given for the work, the students are encouraged only by a real desire to learn something of the art of speaking in public to take up the class work Early in December, students from the classes gave a presen tation of A Scrap o' Paper, to one of the largest crowds which has ever been present at a high school performance. All mem bers of the cast assumed their roles with an ease which gained for them considerable applause from those witnessing the per formance. Several of the members of this cast also appeared in the production of The Taming of the Shrewj' and the training which they received in the earlier production aided them in their work in the latter play. Donald J McGowan and Miss Eva Pangborn were winners in the Lynch Medal oratorical contest and high school declama tion contests, respectively. McGowan s oration dealt with the ' ' titled The Law third degree of police court fame and was en of Force and the Force of the Law. Miss Pangborn chose as her topic, The Independence of Cuba. The two were successful in the sub-district contest held in the local auditorium on April 19 and will now represent the school in the sub-district contest to be held on May 17. Last year, Stewart Beach took first place in the State Ora t t h'le Miss Rhea Schlaack took second place in torical Con es , w 1 the declamation field.

Although the teani had only been pmc-tim ing a few weeks, they put up a fine exhibition of football, piling up 148 points while the visitors failed to make a f-onnt. 0 mamma. W- Hi m...- ffovlvmr' Ypsilanti tHereJ Ypsilanti was the next victim of the local scoring machine. Pontiac used straight line plunging during the greater part of the contest and found little difiiculty in gaining ground by that route, scoring 62 points while Ypsi was held scoreless. Monroe tHereJ Monroe was the next to go down to defeat before the attack of the Pontiac warriors, the score being 20-0. Monroe gave Coach Rogers' boys more opposition than any aggregation which had presented itself so far during the season. The visitors out- weighed the locals considerably and showed plenty of fight, but their defeat was due to the fact that they were unable to break through the Pontiac line. Northern tllerel The next game came very near giving us an awful surprise, due to the over-confidence of our boys. A blocked punt recov- cred on our opponents' 70 yard line saved Pontiac from at least a tie game and a possible defeat. The visitors put up a plucky scrap throughout, but were beaten, the final score being 7-0. Central Ullhereb Pontiac received its first defeat at the hands of Detroit Cen- tral, the final score being 14-0. The game was played in a sea of mud and water, and as Central presented the heaviest team, they naturally had the advantage. The Centralites got away with a flying start and gathered their 14 points in the first five minutes of play. After this our boys got their sea legs and kept the ball in their opponents' territory during the rest of the game, though unable to score. Western fHereJ A brilliant finish by our team enabled us to defeat Western, 25-13. The Cowboys put up a scrappy fight, but were unable to stand the pace put up by the locals and could not hold out against the straight line plunging which netted Pontiac two touchdowns in the last quarter and likewise, the game. Cass Ulllierei Cass Tech was badly beaten by Coach Rogers' boys on Gold- berg Field, the final count being 40-0. The game was played in the morning, and this may have accounted in a measure for the slowness of the play. The Pontiac aggregation had little difli- culty in beating the Tech boys, who were unable to even threaten a touchdown during the contest. Ann Arbor Clllierej The next game was with Ann Arbor and proved to be a slow and tedious contest due probably, as in the previous game, to the fact that the Pontiac boys were tired after their long car ride to the University City. Our boys scored their touchdowns early in the game and had little diliculty in holding the long end of the count. The final score was 13-0. Flint tThereJ This game was one of the hardest fought of the season and marked the second defeat of the Pontiac boys, this time by a score of 7-li. Our team made its touchdown early in the game, while the Flint outfit with several long passes placed the ball be- hind the posts in the last quarter, managing to kick goal and defeat the Pontiac boys. - -l20- V, ,,,,,. , sqm ,. Ho, A QUIVER Alumni fHereD On Thanksgiving morning, the team closed its season with the annual Alumni game. Contrary to the usual rule, the game was hard fought throughout and the large crowd which turned out to witness the game Was treated to an exhibition of good football. With several college stars in their line-up, the gradu- ates managed to defeat the school boys by the narrow margin of 7-0.

Owing to the fact that because of the war many schools are undecided as to their base ball for this year, it has been a difficult matter to arrange a schedule and at this time, it re- mains uncertain. Dates have been given by some schools, but it is not thought feasible to give these here, as they are not in a measure certain.

'My son, come here amd tell to ine, About the things that you did see, When as a Freshman tall and thin, You did your High School days begin. 5-And has it changed much since the time Your daddy up those stairs did climb? Is Mr. Dudley at his place, And has he still a smiling face? 'Ohl papa, 'tis a wondrous school, And every room is nice and cool, Electric fans placed 'round the wall Waft cooling breezes to us all. And when we're on the second floor, And wish to go up one flight more, We do not labor up a stair,- An elevator takes us there. Now Mr. Dudley's desk and chair Are battered up by constant wear And in the room which all did dread Is placed a candy-stand instead. And in the lab where students toiled With H-2-O and acids boiled No desks or bottles now are found But billiard tables there abound. Between our classes. if we like To this dear spot we take a hike And buy delicious chocolate creams Of which the King thought in his dreams Then when we all our lessons know Up to the billiard room we go And play a game with some fair lass To clear our brain for next hour class. The teachers say it's surely line To forget our lessons for a tirneg It makes us all quite fresh and new And better work we're sure to do. No permits do they make us show But on our honor let us go. Yet seldom does a student skip Or go down town just for the trip. In '18 schools were not so good I-Iowe'er, I did the best I could.
