On account of this fewness in num- hers, we were unable to get Latin and German into our schedule. hVe wanted thvm thoughiwhy we never even changed our minds when we were told that Man Bright or Mr, Barlholomae would probably teach us, iVe made a brilliant record, however, and when the next year started we had only eleven on our rollvln-illiant indeed, as can readily be seen. Uur Sophomore year wasnit so had; every one of us made good records in our studies and most of us took part in some form of athletics. Our class spirit was also somewhat improved: we gave parties, indulged in color fights, and went on an April Fool Day picnic twe were the ones who were fooled though? we had our grades dookedl. Our Junior year was the best of all, even though we did lose two of our old, or rather original members, Ray and Gilbert. We made still better records in our classes, were voted to he the hest-looking class in the school, and were ably ruiresented in every form of athletics, by Fred Abbey in tennis, Ray Jordan in football, traek, and baseball, and Elizabeth in basketball. During this year we livuned up more than aver, gave more parties than any other class in school, aml entertained ourselves with a chicken fry, which the Seniors afterward heard of through a package of bones that we sent them through the mail. We entered the Senior year expecting to he, as tradition has it, men and women of leisure, but we were sorely disappointed We still kept up our old standards in classes, athletics, and other things of interest in the last half of this year we were literally worked down. lVe were rushed on all sorts of business, especially on our theses, but thanks to the generosity of Miss Bogard, we were given an extension of two weeks and were able to come out with flying colors, if we were asked to give advice to the incoming Seniors we would probably tell them not to expect 10 loaf, but to prepare for their hardest year. -J. F. R. 17 Elm mibycar glass of ' 7 M M I remember how very important I thought I was when I first graduated. I really believed that I had a wonderful career before me. At this time I think I had fully made up my mind to be a great writerel often dreamed of the surprise the stupid people in our town would receive When they heard of my success, and I wondered how my English teacher could ever have read mv seemingly wonderful literary achievements and not recognized my ability, The first step toward my career I decided would he to learn shorthand and typewriting; so I worked laboriously for six monthsithon when my literary spark failed to kindle, as I sat night after night nibbling at the end of my pen, I came to the decision that to write I must know more of life, and to know lit'e I thought 1 should travel. So, after being a steungrapher for a year, I visited relatives and friends in northern and eastern cities for several months, then came home. It was at this time that my enthusiasm for writing- IOSSGIIHI. 'llhv w'mtm' season had just begun, and many of my friends were home from college for the first winter sinee they had graduated. We had lovely timosia round of card parties, dances and dinners Every one was delightfully happy, and never did Port Arthur seem so charmingly happy and gay. I think I said my literary enthusiasm had somewhat abated. Well, to a degree, it had I no longer spent hour upon hour, planning Very dramatic stories in which my heroine suffered untold cruelties, finally to be rescued by some handsome present day knight. But often on a rainy day 01' while waiting for visitors, 1 would weave gay little romances out of the friendships of my friends; thny were simple, everyday sort of aft' rs, filled with the everyday sort of joy and sorrow that is known to each and every one of us. I sent one of these, a jolly little romance, to a well known magazine, really expecting: it to he returned, and now, as I look back, I renwmher the unutlel-ahle joy that filled me as I received a check and a request for more stories instead of the returned manuscript. Happiness supreme! I had every friend read and reread that story when it appeared, and though now I can find faults in it, I still have that magazine at the bottom 01' my chest of keepsakes. ' The fact that my story had been accepted, seemed, at the time, to he the greatest thing that. could ever happen to mevhutiwell, strange to say. I hardly know how to tell this nextiI shall tell it In'ieflyiand hurriedly pass on, I had known Keith Mansfield ever since I had been about, sixteonl In fact we had been very good friends, but after a while he moved to Houston, and I saw very little of him. Then after I left on my trip north, Elizabeth told me in one of her letters that ho had gone to college and, she had heard, was becom- ing quite a football star. That was the last I had heard of him, until, one night, a few weeks after my story hail been published, Elizabeth, Ray, Rolland. Sadie, John, and I rode to Beaumont just for a ride. It was a beautiful June night, and we were driving.r clown Pearl Street, laughing and teasing one another, when John, who hail just come home that week from a medical school to spend his summer vacation, said, HSay, Ray, Keith Mansfield came as far as Beau- mont the other day with me, He is just back from collegegszraduated. l think, in the civil engineering department. HThat's right, Ray said, Hl got a letter from him last week He said he would he in Beaumont for a few days this week visiting a cousin of his-you know he lived here a while before he moved to Houston. We looked for Keith, but did not see him until the following day when he came down to see Ray. Ray insisted that he stay a week with hiniewelli I am going awfully slowly iso to be brief e K e i th stayed, and, well, we naturally renewed our Olll acquaintance We were often partners at, parties, dances, and dinners, and, though finally Keith had to go back to Houston, it wasn lt long before he came backeantl, well after that l was the proud posses- sor of a great liig diamond on the third finger of my left hand, and then on the twenty-fourth of September we were married and left for Alaska, where Keith had some work to dOWaIHl we were, both very, very happy. I couldnlt help wanting to jump up and down and clap my hands the tlay Keith and I walked down the gangplank and gazed with homesick eyes at the scene of a busy Frisco wharf. Keith was awfully excited, tool You see Alaska is a wonderful plaeeiso vast truly America's Hfield of opportunity of today, hut after four years of it, one is glad to get hack to the States! Keith had promised that if I would be perfectly contented with my four years of Alaska while he was working on an important project there, at the eml of that time we would come hack to the States and just wander from one place to another for a whole month, then, he said, he would have to go to work again, although he wouldn't tell me, where. VVhilv in Alaska I had heard from different friends in Port Arthuin One of them, Mrs. Rolland Lawrence, wrote that Jeanette, who had married the summer after we graduated, was living in San Francisco. Being 1h 0 re we decided to stay over For a day and surprise helm Jeanette was just as delighted to see us as we were to see her. She had been married seven years but she didnlt look much older than when she finished schoolestill the hluo-eyetl, light- hairetl little girl that we all knew ut'toltl, She and tor husband were lovely to us, and we admired their beautiful little California bungalow, with its many flowers, so greatly that. we regretted that we had to leave, but we were anxious to get hack to Port Arthur. Jeanette and her husband hml lbeen there the year before, and they said that Francis Rusling' had come, as far as New Mexico with them. They said that he had a ranch there and seemed to he getting wealthy. His ranch was close to Tucson and as we had to stay over there for several hours we wired Francis to meet us. Well, I was surprised to see Francis! He looked exactly the same, only larger, and he still grinned in the same Hlittle boy fashion that we all knew. But to get back to the surprising feature as I said, we had wired Francis to meet us, and therefore had expected him-hutiwe had not expected the charming young creature with the large brown eyes and clusters of black curls, that looked with undisguised admiration at her grinning young husband I was sure that she was Mrs. Rusting even before he introduced us, for who but a wife looks at a man in that ttyou-are-the-grvatoxt-person-inethr-wurldy, way? Didnit I feel the same way about Keith? tVasn't l awfully proud of my great big, brown eyed, brown haired, young civil engineer? Well, I think so! Francis insisted that we spend the time of our stay visiting his ranch, and 1 did want to get acquainted with that dear little wife of his, so we accepted his invitation. 1t didnit take long to cover the few miles to his place in their big touring ear, and it was not long before we were ushered into a big, comfortable, roomy house with plenty of windows and doors, and furniture that was made to use as well as to look at. But I must hurry. You see, it was my very first Visit to a ranch, and l was perfectly delighted;hut finally we had to leave and we just did catch our train, and wave goodbye to my old sehooltivllow and his friendly little wife before we were out of sight, From then on our trip was long and tedious, but we finally reached Bean- montt Here Elizabeth and her Honliest man met us at the station in their car and we immediately started forittllomo! Many a time had I motored over that old road between Beaumont and Port Arthur, but never before with the same feeling, the same love for each turn and each familiar roadmark! i could hardly talki Everyone else seemed to be talking at once, but I stared 'with strained eyes to catch the first sight of that dear old Port Arthur. Finally, after years, it seemed to me, it came in sightafirst, those big, black Texas Company tanksathen Port Arthur! There were tall skyscrapers nowil could see them outlined in the distance, and long before we reached Blamhs Bend we were in the city. It had grown mar- velouslyi Now the Hmodel addition was all built up and it certainly fur- nished a pleasing entrance to our city by the sea. I am going to skip over those first few days. They were gorgeous! Com- pany from morning until night, and everyone talking at once. I shall never forget those first days of our homecoming! The third day we were home, Keith and I spent, the day with Elizaheth-- and Hthe onliest maILH We had so much fun! Beth and 1 fixed lunchaand though Hthe onliest man said to Keith, HBoy, are you willing to eat this? and though Keith vowed he would see the dog ate some of everything first, we noticed they ate it-evei'y speck! Then, that afternoon was the lovliest, laziest afternoon! We all washed dishes and talked about our old school days, then Beth made fudge. She cer- tainly looked sweet with that bunch of curls up on the top of her head, the way Hthe ouliest man always liked them. As she stood there offering Keith some fudge, her blue dress just matched the blue of her eyes, and she looked exactly as she had eight years ago. Both had always been one of the prettiest and sweetest girls in high school. She was Min for all the funeas well as her share of the work, too. Everyone had loved heriand especially a jolly, popu- lar boy of those days, who had since developed into Hthe onliest man of today. UBeth, I said, Hl thought you were the young lady who intended teach- ing art in the big school! I. thoughti - But here Beth laughingly broke in, HNever mind, young lady-donlt you say a word! How about a certain young lady who intended becoming the greatest novelist of today. Thus we spent the rest of the time, until finally Keith declared it to be so late that he wasn yt so sure of not being afraid to go home The next evening we had dinner with John and his wife-or rather Dr. Rader and his wife. Haven't 1 said anything about it before? My goodness! Well. John was the most successful surgeon in town. He had only been prac- ticing two years, and had completely taken all the trade from the other doctors It was rumored that he had been offered a fine place in a New York sanitarium. but had refused to leave his Uold home tnwu -vaml, more important than all thisalohn has a most delightful wife. She is very smart, and most bewitch- incly pretty. After hearing about how stern John was with his patients, I couldn't keep from laughing as I watched his eyes kindle and his smile brighten as she playfully told him that she Hwould never marry a doetor-nian againehe never was at home! HYou have powers untold, young wonianfl I told her, ltif you can make him do anything! Why, sometimes Johns and my will would clash so over a class problem that one could almost see the lightning caused by the shock But I smiled, for I knew that though John had a decided will of his own, he was always one to be trusted you know he was when we always let him be business managereand treasurer! John was also noted for his good humor and kind heart andewhy, how did I happen to foi'get-his continually teasing Herbert. thei-e was Herbert! HDo you know, John, I said, Hllve often read about that representative from Texas that is creating such a stir in politics, named Willard, and ltve often wondered if that could hea HWhy of course, Ruth, John broke in, too enthusiastic to wait any longer, Hof course its che Colonel! Well, that started us talking about Herbert. John said he was goingy to Washington to see about some experiments to be carried on in a couple of weeks. That gave me an idea. I always had wanted to go to Washington, ever since I had studiet Hcivics in high school, HWhy so quiet, Ruth? Mildred asked. liJust thinking, I answered. HYes, and just thinking' generally means some mischief, when accom- panied by that little grin, Keith said. But I was too interested to be bothered by Keithls teasing at present. ltJohn, I asked, HKeith and I still have two weeks of our month to travel let't. tYhy cault you take Mildred, and let Keith and I go too, then we can all go to see Herbert ?ly ' HFine!H John cried. HHow about it, people? That would be a dandy tripathen maybe Mildl'etlll-pinching his wifels cheek-Hwonlt be thinking of not liking her doctor-husband. I knew by Keithls smile before he spoke that we could go, While coffee was being served we planned our trip, and it was late that night before Keith and I left for home The next day, Keith and I stayed all day with Rolland and Hthat ol4l sweetheart of his and Hone of my very best chums. I believe I enjoyed this day more than any previous one since my arrival, for I knew how this dear little home had been plannedealmost to the smallest detail. lt was certainly a wonderful little place, and they were veryY very happy Mrs. Lawrence still loved flowers, and dogs and catsein fact, she loved everything in their home, from the tiniest new baby bulldog to the baby grand piano that had been her birthday present. from Rolland.

History of the 61055 of 1917 Q; Q; Those who started their first day at the Webster School in 1905, and who were destined to be members of the wonderful class of 1917. are Bessie. Dick and Beth. 'lllw rlass glow and changed constantly. just as all other classes do. xVe were the last class to give a play at the eighth grade graduation That play will over he ronwmhmwl hy the members of the class who were in it. The Freshman year was started off in great shape, with eleven 0f the present members: Mary, Ethel Young. Bessie. Jessiv, George. David. Ethel Atkinson, Gladys, Both, Kathrine, and Myrtle. It was the first year in high school that we began our perfect record of order, mental ability, athletics, and scholarship. We didn't have many parties during the first two years-ol' course we were too loyal to out- books. It. was in our Junior year that we let folks know that we really Llitl exist. Although we had many partivs and oftentimes emm- nvar breaking our perfect record. still it was whispered around that our class was the best in school. Now as Seniors we have at times broken our perfect rvcox'dl Our record of mental ability, athletics, and scholarship remains as perfect as ever. but some of our report cards show that our perfect record of order has been broken But-was there ever a class that went through high school without at some time forgetting itself and wandering away ! Surely we could not afford to he the first and only class with a perfect record, though it be broken in our last year. We will always think of the days spent in Port Arthur High School as the happiest in our lives. And of course thoughts of the High School ln-ingz tender thoughts of our loving teachers. We came right up to the standard of the classes ahead of us by having David, Maxcino, and Brooke coming to us from Louisiana. Mary went to school in Louisiana for a while: and we thus learned why so many students come here to graduate. For Mary was back to her old school mates within a few months Also we had two members who thought more of matrimony than of school, Harriet and Juanita. Lillian was am old member, but at the last moment she caught the interurbau t0 Beaumont and left us behind, However, as we have lost old members we have Welcomed in new ones. Our class certainly deserves being called glorious and wonderful It just excels in athletics, School State officers, debaters, etc. In the Freshman year nearly every girl in the class was a member of the basketball team. This shows , that we made a good beginning. Our star athletes, both girls and boys, are Bessie, Annie, Kathrine, Frances, Dick, Ralph, and Maxcine. 0111' Senior School State officers are Maxcine as Mayor; David as Chief of Police; Brooke as State Attorney; George as Judge; and Annie, Ethel, and Bessie as Policemen. Our Senior boys are doing great work in the Debating Club. Our chief debaters are Maxcine, George, Brooke, and David. We also have good singers; we are especially proud of our boys who nearly all belong to the Glee Club. It must be remembered that Emma keeps the famous P. A. H. S. book store. She is kept very busy during the hours that it is open. , With much fun and excitement, we planted the camphor tree, christened HBeth, during the Junior year. The last tree planted by us is the palm, HQueen of ,17. At first much excitement reigned, then it was with solemn ceremony that the spade was handed to the Juniors. We realized that the dear old spade passed from Dlll' hands forever. There are twenty-three of uslto leave school and we hope that the classes we are leaving behind us will he as worthy of remembrance as the wonderful class of '17. -L. M.

In honor of such a large class the School Board raised the num- ber of credits needed for graduation from sixteen to eighteen Olll' class has been reduced each term until we haw reached our Sophomore standing The pupils in 0111' class took readily to Algebra, Latin, English, and Ger- man. We just loved to work Algebra, to translate Latin, to learn English, and to read German. But we pupils did not like all work and no play. W'v had many parties and picnics. Unfortunately it often rained on our picnic day. Our class is noted for ils having produced many pupils of renown, Gladys, Gussie, Frances, and Earl, and many others that have won fame. As people may think that 0111' class is a pvrfvct micY 1 will make this remark: our class can not debate. When we were high Freshmen we had a debate with the low Freshman Class on HViVisectionHl 0111' debaters were so thoroughly beaten that we have never tried to debate since But our courage is returning and we will soon try again. XVe Sophomores would like for our class to go down in history as the one perfect class that Port Arthur High School has uvvr produced. But as this is impossible, we shall try to he as nearly perfect as a class can he, and l lhink we shall succeed so well as 10 decvivv anyone. 7E.

But there wasn't even the vestige of a sigh from the Freshmen; weren't they in high school, and the dragon Failure routed for at least four and a half months? What more could they ask? They were full of hope and expectation, were those Freshmen, in spite of the direful predictions of the higher classes. Behold we have exceeded even our own greatest hopes. First of all, during the first, the very first week of our high school life we put in our candidate for commissioner over our higher sister class My, if we could have reached far enough, we would have patted ourselves on the back; as it was we contented ourselves with Donaldis, which, to use his own words, Hached for a week. i The high Freshmen were just plain mad, and they vowed vengeance About two weeks after that we challenged their girls to a debate on vivisection. There was that long-looked-for chance of revenge and they took it. Incident- ally, in choosing they gave us the negative side. Three girls represented each class and both sides worked furiously. Alice, Minnie, and Lillian were our representatives Alice wasxft very big then, and her hair was as white as the drifted snow. Our enemies laughed when our littlest girl hegauethere wasn't much of anything of them left when she had finished. Bl'avoly Lillian and Minnie argued and the debate was ours That was the last time anyone laughed at our class. The term passed quickly and at commencement time our class again came to the front when our girl representative cari'ivd away the girl's watch in tho Doclamatory Contest. We have members who are talented for many things, from art to skipping classes. Our two most noted worshippers on the altar of art are Leah and Florence, who are artistic 10 their finger tips W0 havenit any musicians yet except Clarence who says he plays the violin. hVe have so many kinds of students it is hard to mention them all, so I will not try. Our class parties are things of beauty and joy especially when a certain good natured little woman, whom we all adore, lends us her house. Choered by this summary of our first year and with our faces ever upward and onward may we each carry with us, when we leave our P. A. H. S, mem- ories that even time can not eraseiof these may our Freshman year stand out clearest. Ely: ?tepcmtory Glass w FRANK Woon - - - . . . . . .

We are entering high school with as good a set of resolutions as any one class before us. First of all we are going to have the best i 50 SEAGULL that has ever been edited. We are getting ready for that now, by writing three themes :1 week and supporting a blunder box luxuriously. Next, we are to lead in athleticseor rather Dale James isefor us. He has already made several higher athletes sit up and take notice. This is not bragging, it is simply stating facts. Then we have several budding art students on whom we are resting 0111' artistic hopesuEldria and Montrose lend them. Those two girls are going to put us on the map of art, see if they don't. Oh, yes! We have a senatoreto be. He will be School State Mayor, for as the old negroes say. Heys jus' nachely bawn f0y dat, Jefferson Harris has lhe senatorial hug and we sincerely hope he will not get rid of it too soon, as it may amount to something. And as to languages, why we know we are going to be splendid in Latin and German. Janie XVilma is and will be leading in Latin something wonder- ful, and several are starring in German. Last, Inn not least, we have resolved to be the all around best class, When it comes limo for our history in our Senior year, we hope there will not be a single thing to mar our high school record. ell. S. '21 MDP- ;. - - ch Art Department This year the work of the High School Art Department has been almost equally divided between free-hand drawing and applied design and hand work. The new adjustable drawing stands have proved a vast aid to all free- hand work and much interest has been manifested in drawing from casts, a small collection of which has this year been purchased for the department. The first step toward interior decoration was made this year in the prob- lem of beautifying the school room. Original designs and color schemes for stencilod curtains, enameled window boxes, and flower pots, were made by each student. The best designed were then chosen and applied by different groups, which gave each student experience in both planning and carrying out the prohlenr Curtains were stenciled for the English room, Library and two Drawing rooms. Enameled wood and metal have been substituted for the hammered brass and copper work 01' last year, owing to the advance in price of those materials. Book mids, serving trays, flower pots, and window boxes have been attractively designed The practical craft of hook-hinding holds a conspicuous place in the year's work. A graded course is being pursued in this subject from the construction of the simplest pamphlet in the primary grades to substantial volumes bound in the high school. The advanced work this year has been correlated with that of the Library in rebinding a set of books with damaged covers; with the Music Department in nmnding and resewing thirty volumes of the Progressive Music Series; and with the Geography classes in binding a specimen of the work of each pupil into a class portfolio. In the high school classes the students were given the privilege of rebinding from their own libraries, volumes which they valued. Art appreciation is also included in the course of study. With the aid of the Library the children are able to study history of Art and the lives and work of the great mastvrs. e31, B. Ebc music Bepartmcnt Much more stress has been placed on the art side of our school music this year than was possible last year, because the classes progress easily and rapidly in the recognition and application of their problems in rhythm and melody. This has made opportunity for the enjoyable innovation of programs every six weeks, which are arranged by committees of three elected by the classes. While much freedom is allowed as to material used for these programs, the aim is a growing knowledge and appreciation 01' good music, and an acquaint- ance with the best composers of the past and present. The choruses, part-songs, duets, and solos are largely from the grade song books, which furnish beautiful art songs. We encourage intelligent listening by calling attention to motives, figures, form, and to melodic and rhythmic content, as well as to the classification and period of the numbers. Thus these programs and portions of tho rocitatious are virtually lessons in music appreciation. The four-part song work of the high eighth classes is of special interest in its development of many good tenors. The high school Glee Clubs are large and enthusiastic this year, the Girlsi Club having enrolled forty-five members, and the Boys' thirty-two. Three quzirtete, girlsx boys', and mixed, were organized this semester. The organiza- tions rehearse twice per week for special programs and are showing growth in reading, phrasing, diction, tone production and interpretation. hJ. B.

Fhere s m in tried mnutumu It is with something of this thought that 0111' Domestic Arts courses have been organized. The Work this year is largely a continuation of that begun last year, with somo broadening of former plans and a few added features. Last, fall a course in dietetics was added in the Senior year in high school and this spring sewing has been introduced in the, fifth grades in thv ward schools. There has liven an encouraging increase in thu number of the high school girls taking Domestic Arts and many of them are enrolled in two coursest Last year a class of eight began the course in drvssmakingz and millineryithis year the enrollment has reached thirty. 0n the foundational work lycgun in the grades it is the purpose to build strongly, each additional course being an outgrowth of the last. The study of cookery, important as it is, is of but moderatv value in a wheel curriculum if the girls are not at the same time learning to think and work constructively and imlopvnduntly; t0 hecnmeqnoro womanly in tlwir idvals; and finally to recognize that homemakiug is in every sense a profession and that every woman should lwcomo a Hproficiency exportH in that pI-ofvssion. aMt E, 'l'. MNUAL ARTS inbustvial Arts ?Departmcnt E M During the present term we have added a course in pattm-nemaking that is proving interesting and instructive to the students. In our eabinet-minking.r classes we have finished several filings,r cases and six tahles for the library, teachel's' desks for some of the class rooms, and specimen cahinets for some of the others. More than half of the term has Iwon devoted to building school room furniture, and the students are now engaged in building pieces of furni- ture for their personal use. In the mechanical drawing division some of the pupils have taken up architectural Work, and will have some of their house plans completed by the close of the term. These plans will be traced and blue-printed and will be assembled in book form, together with specifications, as in rvg'ular architect- ural work. Two of the students chose machine design, and will complete Kll'an ings for a small steam engine. We hope to have some students to take up gas engine wm'k next year, and have them complete plans for gasoline engines of light horse powmc These plans will be used as soon as we have iron working machine installedl XVO also hope to have one of the houses being planned by the students built in miniature before the close of the term. This will he a problem for the car- pentry class. Takmi altogether the classes in the department have made great advance mmit and we are planning for greater advancement during: the next term. i'lll A. B, Ebc High School ?Eibrary Thc notable increase in the efficiency of the service of the Library over and above the service of one year ago may be ailrihuted 10 several causes: UT The interest of thi' Superintvmlent and Principal in tha- causv of 1110 Library. QT The fact that the Library is a co-ordinating agency of all 1hv dopam- mental facilitiesievery department has in mine way aided the Library Manual Training, Art, Domestic Science, and all the Literary Doparlmonis have contributed. ' GU Various school, civic, and social organizmions haw co-opvratvd in extending the influence of the Library. The Port Amhur College, the Debating: Club, the Girls' Literary Society, havr been instrumental in making: pnssihh- the use of the hooks to the greatest capacity. HJ The generosity of the, School Board has made possible the addition of several reference tools which increase the use of the Library perhaps a hundred per cent. i'i'u The development of lhe bibliographical aids has made possible the exploitation of tho, miuutvst details of the Library malvriaL ah Special features are conducive to increasing the interest of the students in the Library Tho, Iiiclm'v collootion, tho, storuupticon, Vicn-ola records, posters, bulletin hoards, club lists and the story hour lend to draw the children to the Library Training! Class of sixteen girls. This larger class has made organization of assignment possible. Their youth, their enthusiasm, their loyalty, are the Iowr forms of the Library. They, more than any othm' factor, aid in the administrativo, cultural, and inspirational work of Library service. an. S.

The rooters were not disappointed; for Orange was outclassed in every feature of the game. Despite the muddy gridiron, which caused many fumbles, and a shower during the progress of the game, the contest was fast, thrilling, and well played on both sides. Port Arthur started things in the first quartet: hVillard and Radar car- ried the hall to Orange's 10 yard line, Erieson made the touchdown and then kicked goaL At the end of this quarter, the ball was in Port Arthur's pose session on Ox'augeis 20 yard line. 111 the second quarter, the slippery hall on the wet field was the cause of numerous fumbles on both sides. Once Port Arthur fumbled the ball over Orangeis goal line and Orange covered it. Near the end of the half, Erieson added to Port Arthuris score by sending a rainrsoaked and muddy hall between the uprights, from Orangots 35 yard line In the third quarter, Chambers broke away and ran 50 yards for a touch- down, but on account of the had condition of the field we failed to kick goal. Throughout the third quarter no large gains were made, both sides either losing the hall on downs, 0r surrendering it by kinking, Several attempts to kick goal were blocked by Orange. At the end of the game the score 510011 16 to 0 for Port Arthur. Q2 SOUTH PARK AT PORT ARTHUR, OCTOBER 14 By October 14, when the South Parkers journeyed down to Port Arthur to test their strength, the Seagull team had been developed into a steady and powerful machine. The Maroon and Golds showed marked improvement over their former record, and succeeded in piling up touchdowns at regular inten vals, until, when the final whistle blew, there was a total of 26 to 0 in their favor. rFhe Smith Park boys were unable to withstand the aggressive attacks made upon their line, and did not stand a chance, being completely outclassed throughout the game. In the beginning of the first quarter the players were centered about the middle of the field, until Peveto kicked 35 yards and Stewart recovered the hall, carrying it for a gain of 5 yards more From then on Port Arthur advanced the pigskin nearer and nearer the goal of their opponents, until Ericson finally carried it over for a touchdown, thmi kicked goal. Neither side was able to do any further scoring in that half The second half was easy. Port Arthur retained possession of the ball during: almost the entire remaining part of the game. Everyone seemed to star. 1n the backfield, hVillaI-d, Jordan, and Erieson eclipsed anything in timely gains ever pulled off on this gridiron. The line held like a stone wall, and South Park could do nothing through it, either on offensive or defensive. The climax came when Jordan caught a difficult pass while running, and continued 36 yards for a touchdown. Luckily for South Park, the quarter ended at this pointi But this brief rest did not help them out any, for when the last quarter started it was a weak and disappointed set of players who faced the winning team. By a few direct liiw plunges, Port Arthur counted another touchdown. Fumbling the hall at an inoppurtune moment 10st Port, Arthur the chance to score still another touchdown. The I'vferee's Whistle ended the, game with Port Arthur's score 26 to 11 m BEAUMONT AT PORT ARTHUR, OCTOBER 21 Port Arthur entered the third game of the vsason probably a little too confident, and for some reason was defeated for the first time. The most natural reason for this disappointment was just 220 pounds of beef. The opponents outweighed us by an average of 20 pounds some handicapeand the boys from the bunks of tho Noches made good use of their weight, and succeeded in coming away victorious by a system of putting the Port Arthur first line, players out of the game, then winning against a weakened team. Yet the real team,s ability was shown to advantage when the score was 7 to 0 in our favor. The game was far from being devoid of excitement and thrills, and the first damage began when Erieson, fullback, one of our best players, was taken out of the game, causing the team to be fatally weakened. The game was marred throughout by squabbles, and several times the teams came to blows. In the first quarter, the game was constantly played in Beaumont's torri- tory and, after much fumbling on the part of hoth, Pevoto caught a forward pass and crossed between the posts for a touchdown, and Erieson added to this beginning by kicking a goal. From the very first of the second quarter to the end of the half, Port Arthur seemed hard pressed, hut succeeded in failing: any attempt on Beau- mont7s part to secret At the very last of the half, we managed to shift the playing to Beaumonths end of the field. But the third quarter was the turning point, in which Beaumont made rapid gains against our patched up line. The game ended with a score of 19 t0 7 in favor of Beaumont. Q3 HOUSTON AT HOUSTON, OCTOBER 28 It was a confident bunch of football players that journeyed to the Bayou City to bring back the scalps 0f the Houston lads. Their ardor was somewhat dampened, however, when it was discovered that every man, both on the line and in the backfield, was considerably outweighed. But the Houston team was soon found to he fatally lacking in team-work, and the gcneralship extremely poor at critical moments, Their superior weight was thus made of little advantage to them, while the Port Arthur hoys worked together especially well, In this game we were also without Chambers, our regular quarterback, Port Arthur's only touchdown was scored by Jordan early in the game. Intercepting a forward pass in the middle of the field, in a wonderful burst of speed, he outdistancvd half a dozen Houston men who tried to head him, and succeeded in planting; the pigskin hetwen the goal-postst Erieson then kicked the goal which decided the game in Port ArthuI-Ys favor. Several times during the second half the Port Arthur goal was threatened, hut the line held firm, while Houston's line was often broken and the runner tackled tor a loss. However, in the last few minutes of play Houston had a chance to tie the score. A touchdown was made, but on the punt-out the ball was fumbled, Houston lost her chalice to kick goal, and the game was ours by the score of 7 to 6. w BEAUMONT AT BEAUMONT, NOVEMBER 11 Port Arthur never had a chance against the State champions. Hard luck, added to the crippled condition of the team, gave the Beaumont boys the lead from the beginning ofithe game. in the first five minutes of play, Lee, whose strength was always needed to help hold the left side of the line firm, was taken out on account of injuries. In the second quarter, Chambers was knocked out, Erieson shifting to quarter, while Rader held down the position of fullback. The same jinx seemed to follow us all through the game. Beaumont got her lead in the first quarter. After many fake plays had been pulled off, and after much punting back and forth, the ball came into Beaumontts possession 0n the 50 yard line. Beaumont gained 45 yards, and Elam, recovering a forward pass, carried the hall over for a touchdown. Overcoming strong resistance from the outweighed but not disheartened Port Arthur boys, Beaumont increased her score in both the second and third quarters, Long punts hy Poveto kept the hall in Beaumont's territory during most of the third quarter. At the beginning of the fourth quarter, Port Arthur tightened up, and from then on, no more scoring was done by their opponents. They themselves, however, were not able to count, and the game ended with the score 33 t0 0. L!!! SOUTH PARK AT SOUTH PARK, NOVEMBER 18 The second South Park game was the only one of the season in which the Port Arthur hoys did not meet a team which outweighed them, and in this game they showed what they could do when evenly matched in this respect. The game was full of long runsY pretty forward passes, and lightning-like plunges. The Maroon and Gold men, with splendid interference, and strong, fast attack, first wore down and then ovel'ran their opponents. In the first quarter, the only scoring was done when Erieson. Port :V Arthuris fullback, kicked a field goal. But South Park came back strong In the second quarter, and scored a touchdown by a line plunge and a fake play, Then in the third quarter Jordan ran 60 yards through a broken field, eluding almost the whole of the South Park eleven by his fmnous dodging, and was only halted by a desperate tackle on South Park's 12 yard line. This served only as a check, however, and Willard soon carried the pigskin over for a touchdown. At. the beginning of the fourth quarter it looked as though it would he a hotly contested battle, but things started humming when, following two long: gains made by forward passes, Jordan took the hall the remaining distance for a touchdown. During the rest of the game, Port Arthur scored twice more, once when Peveto intercepted a pass and ran 40 yards to the, goal line, and again when Hogaboom, catching a difficult pass. added another touchdown to the list As soon as Ericson had kicked goal the refereeis whistle blew and the game ended with the count 28 to T Q HOUSTON AT PORT ARTHUR, NOVEMBER 30 Thanksgiving Day turned out to he Port Arthur's off day Houston, atter losmg the first game to 11s, came back strong and captured the second by a score of 13 to 0. It was the first half that proved disastrous to Port Arthur. The boys could not work together, and pulled off several bad plays that finally caused them to lose the game. In the first quarter High School punted t0 Houstnlik 5 yard 11th Lawrence covered the ball and carried it 95 yards through a broken field for a touchdown, Houston then kicked goal. The other touchdown was made in the second quarter, when Houston punted to Port Arthur's 10 yard line and covered the ballt Dunlavey then roundvd end for the remaining distance. Houston failed to kick goal. High School came hack strong in the second half, and at several times car- ried the ball within 5 yards of Houstonis goa1,hut in each instance the hall was lost by a fumble, thus ruining Port Arthuris chance to score, In this game the team was in a badly crippled condition, owing to injuries received in the Beaumont game.

End 14 Ebc Scrubs m The scrubs were of great use in developing the first team this year. Their backfield was exceptionally quick, and quickness is a most useful art. They gave the regulars much good practice and at times outplayed them. A harder hitting bunch 01' better players for youngsters can not be found in any scrub team in this corner of the State. They helped to make the defeat of the regulars seem less disastrous by defeating Beaumont North End by a score of 25 to 0 on the same day, In this game the boys of the Maroon and Gold completely outclasset Hour friends from up the creek ;rumling plays around them, through them, and over them, Two weeks later they met the team from the same school, or rather that 's the way Beaumont put it, but the backfield had grown very much larger and some even resembled Beaumont first team men. But this didnlt discourage Rahornts youngsters and they went into the game with plenty of pop. The first team men were a little bit more than they could handle, however, and in the last few minutes of play a second touchdown was made and the game went to their antagonists by a 14 to 7 score. Still confident that they could beat them again, Captain Howard and his men tried their luck 3 third timeethis time on the same day as our second Beaumont game. As the regulars had a game for that day the North End lads had to depend on ordinary substitutes to beat our scrubs but that was not enough and as a result the game ended with a 0 to 0 score in favor of Port Al'thun It's funny, ian it, how one, boy can attend so many different schools at the same time? Yet such was the, appearance of the case when our scrubs went to play Beaumont South End team. They had some players who looked just exactly like those who had played on the North End team and on the regular High School teamiyet of course a boy has a double as well as a man. But stranger yet, these doubles played just like the other ones and won by a score of 14 to 7.

Ebc Basketball Ecason The girlis basketball season opened auspiciously on January 12 in a victory over Beaumont, and ended sadly on March 16 in a defeat by Sour Lake. This defeat came as a climax of the hard luck that followed the team through three months of rain and disappointment. The second game, played with Orange on the lattei-Vs courtY ended in a 9 to 9 tie. This game only served to arouse the hopL'S and spirits of the Port Arthur girls, for they had gone into the contest after a four hour ride in an automobile packed like a sardine can, and so they were sure of a decisive victory over the Orange girls in the return game. These hopes were not realized; for with the coming at the Orange team there came a flood and the game could not be played. This same luck had gone with the girls to Sour Lake. A rain lasting from nine o'clock in the morning to five in the afternoon prevented any effort to wipe out memories of old defeats, Then the Sour Lake crowd came to Port Arthur only to find our court below the water line, and the second game was called off. This was the straw that broke the camel's hack. Neither coach nor team had any pep left. To practice hard for five days for a game on the sixth, and to have that game spoiled, is not altogether pleasant, When such a thing happens seven times, it is time to stop. Therefore the girls went into the last game of the season without team practice for three weeks, and as a result lost the game 18 to 10. Rain succeeded in whipping a team that deserved a cham- wB. A. M. ih A Recorb $print Q Rerords in the mile will be made and broken, but the record for catching the Interm'ban will never be reached. The thing that has been done once can not be repeated. It was in the early hours of the morning when all the world, good and bad, were sleeping the sleep of the just, that the coach rolled wearily out of hed;l might say she rubbed the sleep out of her eyesy flung on her clothes, and made a dash for the ear, but such a statement would be false In the first place, her eyes had not been closed in sleepeit was the night before a long journey to Sam Lake; in the second place, she had an hour and fifteen minutes in which to dress. Such leisure was not enjoyed by other members of the party, however. The hour was crawling nearer and nearer to six and the coach walked the road nervously, but no girls appeared. Then the whistle blew and a strong headlight appeared simultaneously. VVoultl there be a team to accompany the coach? The interurhan drew near, the coaehls heart sank, anderunning steps were heard down the street; Alexine stumbled across the road as the ear stopped. The worst was yet to come. A group of excited faces and. a chorus of groans greeted the coach The groans finally dissolved themselves into: HGussie and Frances are not here. The coach fell back-figurativoly, of course-estopped bl'eathinggwas just about to expire, and;Frances tumbled into the ear. 0:- was it Frances? Her hat was crushed, her sweater was muddy, her face was shiny, her hair was down, and her shoes were unlaced, but she was in the car that was carrying the team to Sour Lake. How had she gotten on the car fifteen blocks beyond her station? Only hy a miracle. At five minutes of six she awoke to the fact that it was neces- sary to get the intel'urbau, One twisty and her hair was up; one hop, and her shoes were on; one squirm, and her dress and sweater were on; one grab, and she had hat, satchel, and purse in hand; one shout, and she was in an auto racing after a disappearing interurban. Troubles had just begun. Procter Street was torn to pieces, and Fifth Street was a block from the ear line On the sixteen hundred block, Frances sprang from the automobile, sprinted down an alley to Procter, leaped the four feet of intervening blockade, and fell sprawling in the mud. This last mishap did not deter the now frantic Frances, but with a final spurt she reached the ear steps, and tumbled headlong into the car. It mate tend not that she was dirty, that her clothes were awry, that her breath was gone, and that her energy had turned into hystel'ies. She had caught the interurban; she was on her way to Sour Lake to watch the rain fall in torrents for ten long, miserable hours.

Thomas and Jordan were the men from last year, and it goes without say- ing that both had an exceptionally goodvseasmL Our team as a whole played a good defensive game, but thvy lacked the ability to hit in the pinchvs, which proved disastrous The boys showed the true P.

Although Jordan, who was considered one of the host amateur catchers in tho statv, has left us, his place will he fillwl by Roy Chaliihers, who is now doing fine work, and who is expected in time to he the equal of anytim- who has held that position. Teddy Carlson is still with us. 'lletltly is showing up well at short, where he was shifted from lllt' outfield, and is batting the ball around tho .3th mark.

Ebc Social Season Q Q A REAL GOOD TIME At the next gathering, everyone decided to have the games before thr ueatst', so, as Miss Rumberg, Miss Minkwitz, and Miss Alexander were there, a real gnod time was carried on in the hall. Some wonderful games were played, one being HGrandmothers Ostrich , and some marvelous jokes were played by the teachers at some of the Hworldly wise Seniorsy expense. The whole class decided they were hungry, so the cooks went to the kitchen to prepare the hot chocolate, with everyone trailing along behind to help do something, hut; HVthn they got there The cupboard was bareH But the Seniors were luckier than Mother Hubbard's dog; after a chase, they caught the thieves, and things went on the sameiin fact, better, R-ause everyone was hungrier after the excitement, Everyone declared that, this time was a Hreal good time , After which, the Seniors wended their way home- ward. Q J UNIORS T0 SENIORS The Seniors were all surprised one morning, when each one was handed an invitation to attend a party given by the Juniors, at the home of Miss Barnes, on St. Valentines Evening. The whole class was excited: this was the event that had been looked furward t0 the whole year. The house was beautifully decorated with paper hearts and such things appropriate for St. Valentine's Day The game of HHearts was played as long as anyone wanted to play, then everyone went to the other room, where many entertaining games were played Delicious refreshments of ice cream and cakes, eut heart-shape, were served, after which the forfeits were sold, and then, after giving three cheers for the Juniors, the whole party went home, the Seniors saying that the Juniors were the Hbest yet . OYSTER F RY The season was opened with an oyster fry; and a very good opening it was, too. When all the class arrived at the school house, whore the feast was to he held, they all marched to thr kitchen, and the best cooks in the bunch WCI'O picked out to fry the oysters. Crackers, oysters, and catsup were devoured as fast as the cooks could turn tlmm out, of the pan, After everyone had eaten enough, the dishes were washed, the floor swept aml everything put away, the whole class, Miss Minkwitz, and Miss Alexandcl fall went up to the aewinu room, where many games, such as l'Gossip'l and HTeakottlo , wow played. Then, as everyone was titwl out, and as there was to he an examination in solid geometry the next day, they decided to go home, declaring that they would have another class gathering.r soon, as that was thf lwst party that harl 0V0! opened the season for any class. Till CANDY PULL The next Uget togetherH party of the Senior class was a candy pull. The girls in the Senior class were known all over the school as good candy makers; and the class hatl heard of what a good one Miss Whitnhouso was, so she and Miss Minkwitz were asked to share in our good time. Such good candies as chocolate fudge, cocoanut cream, peanut brittle, and tatt'y were made and eaten. As it was a cold owning, the entertainments wvl'v held in the kitchen. Mr. Bat'tholomae was trying to do some work in his office: lw seemed to think the class was having: too good a time, Anyway, he came down and asked that less noise he made, lnlt as this was impossible, the class decided to go home. A very good time was had at this party, since everyone in thv class sovmml to haw- a stoot toothH Cl'llltl AND COCOA The evening: that the class had planned to have our next party, turned out to ho a freezing cold one, so we turned our party into a gathering to be held at. the high school, and decided to have chili and chocolate for the main dishesl A few outsiders were asked to this affair, and we all had to he very quiet for a time, as a faculty meeting was being held upstairs. But after the faculty meeting, Miss Minkwitz and Miss Romherg came down for some chili, and everyone had a regular good time, then. When noth- ing to eat was to be seen, Miss Minkwitz and Miss Ronlberg: entertained with a few selections that they had learned while in college. After the kitchen had been cleaned, the whole crowd went to the auditorium, where games were played and songs were sung, until time to go home M FACULTY BANQUET For two weeks before March 24, the Seniors had many class meetings, Some sort of entertainment had to be given the faculty, and the Seniors would have nom- hut the host. Finally, after the midyear class had been called in to help, a banquet was decided upon, to he held at the First Methodist Church The room was artistically decorated with the colors of both the Senior and the midyear classes. Likewise the place cards, decorated with pansies, the class flower of the Seniors, were a tribute to the artistic ability of some members of the class, Members of the two classes and of the faculty were called upon for toasts during the intervals between courses. John Rader acted as toastmaster, and the members of the faculty making speeches were Miss Bogard, Miss Rom; berg, and Miss Minkwitzl Annie Scrimshire, Beth Palmer, and George Morrow spoke for the Seniors. Each speech was greeted with applause, and the last talk, by Mr, Sims, was very much enjoyed. After the banquet, H'l'he Eyes of Port ArthurH was sung with enthusiasm, then all went home, after each member of the faculty had remarked upon the success of the affair. THE LITERARY SECTION OF THIS VOLUME IS DEDICATED TO THE MEMORY OF Ruth 398ml igannnett BORN MARCH 2, 1897 DIED FEBRUARY 28. 1917 ?atsy Ochomc 33 Q! Everybody said that Patricia O'Hearne was a queer child. Ono, always thought of fairies and elves, and woods and dark places, and such of the make- believe world, while talking to her. She was small, just a little over five feet, and had an abundance of soft, dark brown hair, that made no pretence 0f curling, hut lay in a mass about the small, well-shaped hearl. Her eyes were large and dreamy, and ot' a deep blue. 1101' eyelids always seemed to tlroop, as with the weight 01' the, long, curled lashes. Her nose was Mnall and straight, and her mouth well-shapetl, with full red lips that parted to show small, even, white teeth. But the most remarkable thing about Patsy was her eyt-ln'ows, Which one immediately noticed They appeared to be delicate, arched, peneilled lines. Strange to sayy one would very seldom notice Patsy were it not for thcsv. She seemed so small, and so quiet, but if one noticed her eyebrows then it would lie that his attention would be drawn to the dreamy eyes, the dean complexion, and the mouth that lent the only color to the otherwise dark little figure, for though her eyes were blue, they were, so dark that oftvn one mistook them for black. Then again, once noticed, one could do naught hut atlmire Patsy, and once knowu, naught but love her. Possibly it was the queer comhination cf parentage that made her so markedly different from others, Her fathvr was ll'ishY one of the host types of the well educated lrisht He was of noble stock, and at one, time had been wealthy, but his fortune had dwindled, until now even the old home lay in ruins, and this, the last of the O'Hearnes, at the death of his aged parents hall come to America to seek his fortune. 111 New York he had met and married a young woman of French and English ancestry, but a typical American girl of good breeding, She hatl been the only daughter, and upon the dvath of her parents, the sole heir of a small fortune. Patsy came, after a while, and the tht'ev were ideally happy, until Mrs OlHearne's health began to fail, and upon the advice of their physician, they broke up their little home and went wvst. They settled in California, not in a large city, the California that must of us know, but alone, among the hills, where Patsy grow with God's choicest creations for her playmates-hei' father, her mother, her pets, her flowers, In fact all nature. Sixten years passed, and Patsy, a girl of seventeen years, was hitltling' that home she had known aml loved so long, farewell. It was only for a short time, hut t0 the little, girl, nine months away at college seemed an eternity. The afternoon before she left, she had put aside especially tu hid her playmates good-hye, Immediately after lunch she set out. Standing on the large porch, she wondered where she would go first, but almost instantly her eyes turned toward the mountains whose foot lay almost at their gate. 111 a short while she was in among the trees, where, as the forest grow denser, the sun was shut out, and Patsy, lying at full length on the soft green grass, thought of all the happy make-helieve lives she had lived here, and wondered and dreamed until late in- the afternoon of what was to happen to her in the future, Patsy had never gone to school Her only teachers had been her jolly and devoted father, her quiet little invalid mother, her fatherls library-and nature. Her mother had taught her to love God, to love nature, and to love her fellow creatures. Patsy was devoted to her, and the two of them would sit for hours among their flowers, at times reading, then again just talking, Her father would take her on long walks through neighboring woods or mountains, and often, as the three of them sat on lazy afternoons under a shade tree, he would tell Patsy of the city close by, where he often went on business; and sometimes both he and her mother would tell her of their life while in the east. As her father told of thr pretty young favorite his wife was, and of how jealous he was of her many admirers, Patsy would glow with pleasure, and her mother would smileiand tell her of how popular her father had been. Those were happy daysiuo wonder that Patsy wondered if those to come would he as happy; but youth loves youthiaud Patsy, who know only girls and boys in books, longed to know real live onesi-and wonding her way home that afternoon, as she stopped to tell, in her queer little way, her former playn mates good-hye, she smiled and dreamed dreams that only one so unsophisti- cated could dream. w w . h! C i Vaollego, at first, was a wonder to Patsy. lt wasn lt so very large, yet to ono so little versed in such things, it seemed immense. In the beginning, as she passed from one hig class room to another, she seemed as in a dream. Then, little by little, the novelty lessened. Then it was that Patsy began to have the first tinge of homesickuess When she first came she was delighted to play even the part of spectator; but now, as she sat at her desk one November day, she wished that they all wereult quite so distant. At home, in her ttmakee believes, they were all our big familyeand she was one of the happiest meme hers; but here, in realityethey did seem to he a big familyiwith the exception of herself and a few others like her, who looked on as she did. Her roommate was a dear little thing, all curls and ruffles, and forever happy. Of course she was ttswoet to Patsyeand called her ttPatricia, you dear thing, when Patsy obligiugly hung her clothes in place, or straightened her desk or dressing table, while she hurriedly dressed in preparation for a jolly time, or glanced over her lessons in the morningr while waiting for the breakfast bell to ring. Her name was Evelyn, but most of the girls in her set called her uEvye Patsy soon learned that the boys and girls belonged to different sets, or crowds, as they were, called, that Evelytfs was one of the gayest, and Evelyn one of the most popular members. Evelyn always seemed in a hurry. Ou Hgoing-out nights she was con- tiuually in a flurry, getting ready for a date. 011 other nights there was generally a Hfeed to he had in 0110 or another of the girls' rooms, to which she was invited. Even if there was nothing else to do, she would take down her hair, get into fluffy uegligen and slippers, and between nibbles of chocolates, answer letters which came very often, and many at a time. And every morn; iug she was in a hurry to Hglance over her lessons, while Patsy, who, after writing her nightly letter home, haviug'nothiug else to do, had studied dili- gently, looked on in admiration Once in a while Evelyn would talk 10 her, especially if time seemed a little more plentifulv-as happened on a morning: not far back. Evelyn was combing her hair, HVVell, Miss Dl'eamy-eyes, she said laughiugly, Hwhy are you staring: so at me?H u Hl love to watch you fix your hair,H Patsy said. HIt is so curly and mine is so straight. HNonsense,H laughed Evelyn, none the less pleased at the, compliment. Uyou have wonderful hair, Do you know, young: lady, you are rather pretty Yes, she had said, stopping: her manipulations before the mirror, and staring critically at PatsyiHawfully prettyt Patsy, who was not used to being complimented, blushed Thix made Evelyn laugh UYou're a freshy, areu ht you .2H she asked, and as Patsy nodded, continued, most likely just to be saying something, Hthat girls and boys do you go with here, Patricia? Hl dovut know any well,H Patsy answered, very intm-estedly watching: Evelyn apply some carmeu-colored stuff to her lipst Evelyn stopped suddenly rilip stick in air. HNo one! My 10rd, child! How do you exist? What do you do on going-out nights? Jult then the breakfast hell had cut short any further conversation, aml Evelyn had since seemed too busy to notice her little roommate Suddenly Patsy's meditations were interrupted hy a folded piece of note paper thrown on her desk Looking up, wide-eyed, Patsy saw Rex Conightly, the most popular of tht- Senior boys, and one of Evelytfs set. smiling at her and motiouiug to her to open it, Woudm'ingly she diriiaud read in a hastily written hand: HSay, have you got a dam for Friday night:7 If not, lotts go to a show, Theda Bara is going to play at the Majesticepretty good, I hear. Want to see it? Nod your head tyes' if you want to go. Patsy stared and stared until it seemed as if her eyes would burn through the paper. She felt herself getting hot and colstux'ely she was blushing? she could feel it creeping: upefirst to her ueck-then to her face-she couldn ,1 look at him! And she wanted to go so had. What should she do? she asked herself. Was that the proper way of asking her? Then she wondered what Evelyn would doiand with a half shy, wholly charming little smile, she quickly glanced at the boy and nodded yeskthen without daring to look up again, resumed studyingeor pretended to study, And it was well that Patsy didntt look up to see the haIf-suppressed winks and smiles that passed among the boys and girls of Evelyn's set who were in the study hall. At last, Friday night came. Immediately after dinner, Patsy ran up to her room. Therr she found Evelyn and Evelyn's chum sitting on the bed, very interested in something. As she opened the door they were laughing heartily, hut immediately on her appearance suppressed their mirth; and it was not long after until Babette leftepromisiug Evelyn as she did so, Hnot to forget. to he thereeaud not to go to sleep. Patsy heard it all in a dream thoughi she was too happy to pay much attention to thenL For wasn't she going to the movies with a boy? Didnit she have a date? Patsy didn't stop to think that the boy she was going- with was very handsome and very popular. it wasn't thateit was simply the fact that she was going out with a hoywthe fact that she wasn ,t different from the other girls H0h how wonderful college is!H she thought, and as she dressed she hummed a gay little song: She forgot about Evelyn; had she not, no doubt she would have wondered at her not going out, and would possibly have been pleased with the admiration in Evelynk eyes as she watched the shy little girl iilossom out, through pleasure, into the hright-eyed, red-lipped little girl that she sat staring at. NSay, Patsy, she said after a while, calling Patsy by that name for the first time, Hyou certainly do fix your hair pretty; and that little dark blue taffeta is just the thing to bring out the color of your eyes. Patsy smiled: and giving herself another glance in the mirror, she turned for inspection, HI like my dress, too, she saidittmother bought it for me, She always gets pretty things. Then from sheer happiness, she looked at Evelynethen quickly stoopiug pressed a hasty little kiss on her cheek; and with a smile she ran down to meet Rex in the reception hall, XVhen she reached the hall, he was waiting. Other couples were standing around, or leaving, and groups were gathered together around the piano and reading tables, Rex didnt see her as she enteredehe was talking to a group of boysabut as she walked toward him, he turmd and came to meet hen By Jove,H he exclaimed, Hyou certainly look peachy! She smiled She didn't know what else to do She wasn 't used to having: people say she looked Upeachy, but she knew that was just what he would have said about Evelyn, and she was glad to have him say it almut hm: The picture was good. They were always interesting to her. She had never seen them oxcopt on rare occasions, when shv eanw to tho city with her father; consequently, with her imagination, she soon forgot all about Rex, and drank in, as it were, all the seeming magic before helm She was too interested to notice that Rex paid very little attention to tho picture, hut looked almost constantly at her. If she had, l suppose she would have noticed that at times he grew restless, as if he rather disliked a task that faced him; at other times he grew thoughtful, so that any of his lthunch, looking at him, would have hem surprised, for indeed the jolly, conceited, fun-loving Rex Conightly was hardly ever to be found in a thoughtful mood. As the screen story ended, Rex smiledePatsy sat staring straight aheada the whole world forgotten, much less Rex. Suddenly the lights flashed oni and Patsy gave a little jump and drew a deep breath HMercy, Rex cried, Hmust have felt as if you had had a cold plunge- you started so. Like the picture? Want to stay to see it over again? HNo, she smilingly answm'edwuit 's latervhut wasn lt it lovely? The snow eand the big woods! Wouldnlt you just love to go to Alaska? she asked as they were walking down the aisle, uPhew, no!H Rex cried. HYoulre just dreaming You doult know how cold it is there. Ever see snow !H he asked, and thus their conversation con- tinued as they walked the eight or nine blocks to the collegoevthon as they came to the big gate that opened on the campus, Rex grew silent. But Patsy was still talking happily. t'Oh, she said as he opened the gate-ttwelre back. Do you know, I had almost forgotten about the college. Then looking at Rex she said, thI', Couightly, you donlt know What a lovely time Ilve had! 1 was so lonely-and l-evei-yone seemed to be having such lovely times, and l was just a little-homesick. They were almost to the big porch of the college. As she finished speak- ing, they were right under a group of shade trees that cut them off from the View of the dormitory. Turning suddenly, Rex caught her hand. Patsy stopped in astonishmentethon looked at him wonderingly. She didn't know exactly what he meantgmayheahut Rex quickly let her know. HKiss me, you little kid, you! he whispered as he started to draw her near him, But compro- hending his meaning, Patsy stood as if paralyzed-slowly drawing her haml from his she said, UMr. Conightlyiwhat did you say? You didn't ask mo Io kiss you, did you? Youiyou didn'teH her voice lil'okeehut her big blue eyes spoke eloquently, and the big stalwart boy hefore her bowed his head, It wasn't very uncommon for Rex Conightly to ask a girl to kiss him. He expected such a reward after going out with oueiiu fact, most of the girls expected him to kiss them, amI-vhut Rex knew he wasn't excusiug himself on those groumlsl He knew this girl wasult that kind. He didnlt know what to say for a while, thenelookiug straight into the blue depths of Patsy's eyes- and unconsciously removing his hat, he held out his hautt HMiss tVHeame, he said, Hl'm not going to offer any excuse-vl 311 just going to aske Rex stopped; ho dilllllt know what else to say and lwsidvs there seemed to he a queer lump in his throatihut in that moment Rex Conightly's heart changed from that of a Svuior boy at college, used to the usual girl of todayeto the heart of the little boy that ho had once hocul And that honest, truo-hearted little lmy lokerl out 01' the eyes of that grown boy, straight into her eyes, and Patsy OleaI-ne needed no other apology She knew that Rex Conightly was sorryAeand with the frankness that was part of her, held out her small hand, and without a word, Rex clasped it in his big one. lWVv't-c sure Ynuff friemls-aron ll we, Miss Patsy?n he said. HYou don lt know how glad I am to have you for a friend. Youlre a real sure enough girl Wthe kimlil' he swallowed, then continued with a smileiuthe kind my mother was. Saturday morning a group of excited girls and boys stood in the reception hall Then Rex Conightly came over from the boysY tlormitoryvand they all ran to meet him. HHowkt it come out, Rex? some called. HWho won 5? others called. One said, HBut l didishe looks like a prim little oltl maidl Fork over the five-spot, Rex old hoylH Each was saying something, and everyone was looking at Rex. As he came up to them Rex said, HHow much time have we before the breakfast hell rings? HAbout twenty minutes, HAll right, Rex said, Hlet's donlt, stand hereehel'e come some other kids ilet 's go around on the porch by the library. HSay, old sport, you look like a regular funeral, one boy exclaimed, as they drew near the porchiU must have lost! They all laughed, but several of the girls insisted that Rex must have wou-gshe was a little simp. He was the most popular hay in school! H Listen, Rex said, leaning against a window, H l ,m not trying to put the blame on you kids, lcause I know llvo been one of the rottencst kids in school ibut honestiyou gil'lsil tloult want to hurt the feelings of any of you-iu fact Miss t'VHearuo wouldnlt want me toiso llll just say I think it would help all six of you toewoll, to ho acquainted with her.

That's all I'm going to say to you. Then as he turned to the boys his voice trembled with anger, then it choked up with humiliation. Boys, 1 just want to say-you're all good pals of mine, and you won't mind my saying it-we're the dirtiest, the yellowest bunch of boys that ever lived. To make that degrading bet we made yesterday! Bob, he turned to 0111' boye'tyestcrday when Evelyn told us about that demure little roommate of hers, that hadn '1 had a date since she 'd been here, you made me a bet that I couldn't get a date with heriand kiss her when we came homee and I took you up. 1 said I could. Hl just want to tell you that I didn't kiss Miss O'Hearne-and 1 want to say that l'll take an oath right now, that l'll never kiss another girl, 01' ever try to-until I ask a girl to be my wife.

Inside the library a tiny little girl with dark blue eyes, and dark brown hair that did not curl, leaned against the bookcase. She hadn't meant to listen as soon as she heard Rex speak she sta1ted to leave then she just couldn t. She had been standing in that position ever since he had begun talkingiai first almost stunned as the realization of what he was saying came to her Later as he told it all big team fell unheeded from two shining eyes UHe took all the hlalne last night, she kept 11111mhli11gz. He didn't want to tell on the others Dear Got , she whispered, Uit's all strangeewhnt I'm so happy! I love school! I love everyone! Please let Rex's plea come true English Savcb the Day E Q31 A weary tramp sauutored idly along the main road leading from the small, sleepy town of Beaumont, to the busyy active city of Port Arthur. It was a beautiful sunny day; the kind that makes a tl'amp's natural distaste for work increase as he walks along. Something within him kept telling him he was very hungry which was perfectly natural, since he had not been overburdened with food for several hours, Food was plentiful, but it would have broken his heart to be obliged for an instant to waver from his anti-lahoriug principles. Even in his boyhood he had looked upon work as disgraceful, but he had considered it a good policy to keep his English polished and to speak as a gentleman should. It was almost noon as he paused before the kitchen window of a farm- house. He leaned gracefully against the sill and complimented the lady who stood within, first upon her good looks, and then upon the delicious scent of lht! meat which was cooking on the stove. HFine stew you have there, he remarked Hlt reminds me of the kind tht- girls used to make in the Domestic Science Department at the Port Arthur High School?' HYes, returned the lady, Hl suppose it is good enough for people that aiu yt willing to work fur iti'Y HBut my dear madam, consider, 1 am a man of taste, and l wouldn 't mind having a taste of it HYou can have it, said the lady, more pleasantly, tlwhen you We earn ,t it. Can you saw that wood? ' The tramp shivered as he thought of the pennies the woman would have had to forfeit had she gone through his hlunderhox days. HYou will excuse me, madam,H said he, as he glanced at the enormous pile of wood, Hbut you must correct your English. You should say, tCan you see that wood? not. tsaw'. Why woman, all my life I have been a student of English. I was taught by the famous Irene Bogard at the Port Arthur High School, She considered our class, which graduated twenty years ago, in 1919, the best ever turned out of that old school. Alle hank you, pei'f'esser,H said the lady, Hitls biusa long since I went to school that my grammar is maybe a little weak. But what might, your name be? I graduated from that same school in 1919. The tramp stared at her for a moment and then bowed as he had done in his oral composition days before making :1 strenuous speech. Hl happen to be Joseph Alexander Tryon, at your service, madam, but will you please identify yoursolfiw Joe Tryon? Well 1 never saw theJikc of it! I havelft forgot the times you used to snatch my pencils, and nearly scare me to death with grasshoppers Delft tell me youWe forgotten your old friend Grace XVendling.

Last of all came the man whom all others raved uvel'tShakespeare. I had never admired him, But I trembled as he took the book from my hand. I know ho smiled. uSo they expect this to livehand it is only music That can make an eternal place in the mortal heart. Listvn ! With a mellow voice he repeated the words of one of his ovm poems.

But I wonderil can 't forget those words: HYou are drunk with modernity and freedom I ;.' ch $bamvock 32,1 M The setting sun g'leauwd rvd in the west; the Sabbath was drawing to its close. The narrow streets of Durt'i'ee Lea wore hushed except for the twinkling laugh of a child ringing out hvru and there. Peace, peace, peace everywhere- everywhere except in the hearts of men. The little Irish town has swn many sunsets The sun has gone down on merrymakings, on newly dug graves, on weddings, and on every phase of village life. Today, hero and there an old man tottcrs along the cobbles, a very young boy struggles bravely at a task that a man might have dreadedt Women work in fieldsy but there are no men in tho prime of their lives, except, the occasional wreck of what might have been a man before he faced the t-nemyts death-dealing guns. On this t-vuning' a little bustling old lady moved about her cottage, her quavel'y 01d voice raised a hymn Cheerfully she prepared a simple moal, but a close observer might have noticed that her bright eyes were dim as she glancvd at the ompty placv next to hers 0n the homemade table. In fancy she saw there, first a baby, with a clube-cropped yellow heada then a boyithen a man, with boyhood still soft on his face. HTimHahm' baby, tier boy, her man, dearer than life to her he was-God only knew where the King had callvd him; with a smile on her lips to cover her breaking heart she had sent him to fight for me country that had oppressed her and hers for gonerationst The old 500 many things, and because she was Irish she saw her son fight- ing not for England, but for the flag with a harp and the shamrock-aml for God. vit day thon- camo a short note from her boy which read: tiDear little mother: y Don't worry about, invadeath dosenit seem very awful now because I may meet it any day. I can't tell you where we are going, but I understand it will cost a great deal-in livesi Mother, could you send me a bunch of shamrock from Durfree hill? Itis s0 gray here that my heart gets sick of it all, and 1R1 give my life to he cut of it and home with you and near the shamrock Love from Tim There was a hint of rebellion in the last lines, and mother-like she realized how mur-h tho grayness must depress her big, impulsive Irish boy, and how much he must miss 01d ireland. The next package that went to Tim contained a little carefully packed bunch of shamrock. After the drive of the Dardanelles, as the field officers went over the bat- tleground, they found men, some with faces gray and drawn, some peaceful, and many with a photograph 01' a crucifix pressed to their lips, Then they came to a man, hardly more than a boy, who, with bleeding hands stiffened in death, pressed a little bunch of dead shamrock to his lips. Tim did not own a crucifix, but he had found comfort even in death in a little, withered, gray. green plant. Tim's mother received another letter, which stated that she should draw comfort from the fact that Tim had died for his King, and that he had been awarded a cross of merit, With the letter came his effects, a little package tied with a string-a handkerchief, the few letters she had written, dirty and worn from much handling, a picture of her, a bit of paper in which a package had been wrapped, a postal card, and a cross hung on a bit of crisp new ribbon -all that was left of her boy was tied in that little package. For the first time in her life she was thankful that she was old, the older the shorter the span between her and her My That was in the first depth of despair; but today in the field hospitals which are never quite out of danger, other mothers' sons bless a cheerful little Irish woman. Tim ,5 mother loves che boys as she affectionately calls thl-mY and since it is no longer necessary for her to lamp 3 home for her own boy, she makes the life of those other boys as happy as she can. gAi Hi '20 Keind friend, lets go to the history room Eire it grows too late; Aind tho pupils, among the host of them, N70 doubt will receive information that's great :Li R. i20 Ebosc Excuses Q Q Let us see just what the word excuse means. At this school it has an altogether different meaning from thatr which the originator of the word iuiended it to have Webster defines it as justification. Here an excuse is merelyuan excuse. It is a most pathetic plea, written by sumo friend of thv absent one, asking that Henry be excused please because he rose am of the wrong side of the bed, and did noi foe! iikv coming to school today, No. Anmhvl' says: HPlease excuse Maryk absence as I was not feeling well today, respectfully iSignmU Mrs.Schysooopf' Fellow students, is this not enough to break a teachers hoart--or rather her patience? it ,s a wonder they do not keep a doctor at school all the time just to look aftm' thcsv people who art- so often on the vorgc of eternity! I myself have seen hays that I knew had played Hskip the class go to their iwst girls and say, HSusie, write me an excuse. l was absent yesterday. I have seen Susie pull her pencil from her hair and write the excuse, signing his mother's namoiand wishing at that moment she really were the Mrs. S0- and-so, not his mother, of course, but hissyou know The tvachol' I'ocoives tho excusv, and is puzzled to think why Jimmyis mother, a loading cluhwoman, spells Vi'ednesday without an iei but she is too polite to ask. The system of scudiug the excuses homo m the parents is a good one and should ho adoptz-ili If it is sent through ihv mail, the pupil has no chance to destroy ii, The mother finds out what her litth Henry 01' Jimmy 01' Johnny has boon doing , and she transfers it to Papa, and hv transfers it to Henry in such a way than Henry has to stand up for a week because of that particular -excuse. All things have an end, and this excuse business is coming: to an end be- cause thv ivachors al'v hvcoming wise, and are beginning to put the Mamas and Papas next, sE. S. ,19 Who Was Whippcb?
