What pitfalls of Algebra, notebooks galore; And each test seemed worse than the one gone before, What terrible questions our young minds would burn; Is Latin or Spanish the easiest to learn? The study of History made some of us sad; I dont think myself. that that subjectis so bad, The grammar grades trials and sorrows may bring ; Till you strike High School English you-donit know a thing. The Freshmen can feature ttThe Call of the Wildh, Just wait till you read nDavid Copperfieldf child, Just wait till Miss Donaldson asks if you,re able To write a report on HLes Miserablestt; I can pronounce that as correctly as you, But it wouldntt rime smoothly, so what could I do? Well, we fought our way upward, each obstacle cleared, Till now were the Seniors, beloved and revered; We don,t wish to brag, but the case stands thus, were the SENIOR CLASS, take a lookat us. Yes, the Senioor year, a long picnic would seem, Were it not for that nightmare, the Senior theme; But the end is approaching, with pleasure and pain, We look backward fondly, half wish to remain; We cannot stay with you, we hear the world call, We are the Seniors, we thank you, thatts all. eLeon Smith mum 'I.

Our mmhers had been prevailed upon to make 0111- tlresxes at least one im-h longer, and a few boys were the envy of the class by virtue of the fact that they were the proud poss 'snrs of their first lung trousers. At length, after much Preparation, we murched dawn the isle of the auditorium where we received a diploma. which proved, to our mmsterimtiun mid dismay, to belong to same one else. The confusion resulted in a mad st'rumhle until, finally, we each received our own precious document. At length we came marching up the steps of the great building of P. A. H. S. but, to our surprise, we were greetedon every side with the di gusted remark, uJust look at those little kids from Franklin, will you? And we felt very much out of place, but we bravely took our share of the ridicule and started into our school work. A good part of eavh day was spt'nt on English although we were sure we had learned to speak this language in our infancy. Some students tnok Latin, but they were prone to argue the uselessuess of memorizing a dead language: other subjects were mustered all'o. Parties were given from time to time at which no refreshments were, either left or wustetL But then, when we. were sophomores. wns it not a grand and glorious feeling to know that we knew everything to he known afntl that we were looked up to by the Freshmen? Indeed, it seemed :1 Heaven! And it was during that year that we really felt the superiority of our clnss um! we supported it 100 per cent strong in all its undertakings, Then oame the time when we had gone, a step higher on our way. We were Junie '! The word was music to our eurs. and ah! the thought that we would lw Seniom the taming yemr. We now undustond that school was nut merely a plau- tn have a good time, so we hogan in earnest. We did some m'rmnmhle football playing that year, and humbled the mighty seniors to the tune of 60 in the Jaunior-Seninr game. After the downfall of the seniors, we decided to give them a party Yes, a real party '11 everything. Our elzlss gave many other entertainments. picnics and purtiex throughout the year. Memlrers of our class took part in all athletics, and our class was notive in sup porting the different teams. Finally came that never-to-he-fogottvn day of Sept. 13, 1922. when we were thenceforth to be known as SENIORS! Our whole soul and life seemed wrapped up THE mum. in that WONL and it seemed that the rest of the world should revere us. And it goes without saying, that everything we have undertaken has been a success. Just look it the 'tSeagull for en example of our work. Merely Mary Ann, our senior play. was scored at. hv'z success. We ohserved that annual cnlebration-Dress-up Day. Before the celebration was ended we had made a day and a night of it. We 1-0de on the Juniou: in the Jnninr-Senior Game. We must not fail to mention that many members of our class took part in the various athletic organtzations. The football team was led lly the renowned Capt. Billy Palmer and was composed chiefly of seniors. The seniors 0n the Basketball, Baseball umd Truck teams were all stars. Twice the beauty of the school has been chosen from our girls, just as the sponsor of the football team was one nf our members. We also have some noteworthy orators wrlters, musicians, and artists in our class, Whose talents will be heralded by the outside world in the years to come, Perhaps our class organization ha snot always been the best, but this year, with the institution of the home mom system. our class spirit has greatly increased. No migunized body, whether its object be business or pleasure, is of much account without a oompitent head, and it is to Miss Donaldson. our Senior class sponsor. that we owe our henrtiest thanks for the success at our weekly assemblies. We have combined social enjoyment with om- studies and have had some splendid times together. We have heen 11 loyal class, loyal to the maroon and gold, and we have always heal ready to uphold our school's fair name, And now, in these last few high school days, we will stand together. Our teneliersiwe ennnot tell of all the 1mm friendships we have made among them; Of the many happy times they have given us and in which they have really been one of our members; the many lessons not found in books that we have learned from them and that we will carry with us all our lives. The spirit of P. A. Hi. is deep and sacred in our memories, and as we leave these beloved hulls of learning we take with us that triumphant spirit, confident that the ways of our life may at all times reflect this same spirit as we go out. into the great unknown world. and When T ime, who steals our years away, Shall steal our pleasures too, T he memory of the past will stay And half our joys renew. u A QM :f 4 Frazier Denho Deho Fnutlmll '22.

SENIOR CLASS PROPHECY 011 the first day of 1934 I was ordered by the San Francisco firm, for whichII was working, to report to an eastern offiee for duty. I welcomed the long transcontluental trip, for I had been steadily at work for a number of years. The thought came to me- that I might be able to learn something of my classmates of 1923, since I knew that: all of them must still he in the United States. I little realized the things I was to discover on that trip. 0n the evening: het'ore my train left, I dropped into a movie theatre. The comedy began as I slipped iutu my plaee. I read ttThe Fate of Benjamin Prunpy, starring Christie Flanagan, the great impersonator of Ben Turpin. My attention was soon drawn to the orchestra pit hy the insistent hlare of a saxophone, I was right. thht red head could belong to no one, except Preston McGuire As I hurried through the: foyer in fear of missing my train I noticed a slight blond woman husy directing the arrangement of the elaborate decorations in order to hetter advertise a coming show. I recognized Mercer Evans immediately, but because of my haste I had barely time to exchange a few words with her. I hailed a taxi as I stepped into the street. It was with difficulty that I repressed an exclamation of surprise as I found myself face to fare with Wayne Hartford. As he drove me to the station he told me that net and Darrel Jewett were conducting a taxi service in the city. I soon fell asleep in the train, hut in the middle of the night. I and my sleeping companions were awakened by a noise: worse thaai that of a eat sereuading the muon. A baritone voice teas singing Three uTIm-k in the Morning. an air which had heen popular ten years before. Amused by a shower of shoes and irate command to he quiet, a tousled head was thrust forth from between the curtains and I heard Vernon Dean's voice profusely almlogiz- ing for singing in his sleep. During the second day of my trip. the trhin stopped for several minutes at an attractive little western town Looking out of the window I saw a group of high school girls waiting for a train. The gay rihhons on their sleeves told that they were hasketlmll girls off on a trip. In the midst of them I saw theilt coach who was Cecil Smith. I called to hen and talked with her for a few mi'nutes. She told me that Janie Iiatlau was the Spanish teacher in the High SehoOl. mid that she wm- ufton mistaken for a native Spaniard because of her skill in the language. The next day our attention was drawn to the daring tricks of an aviatOr who circled about the train and nt times pretended to race with us, The conducter told us that the aviator was Brandon Coleman of Port Arthur, Texas. who amused himself by these tricks when he grew tired of ranchlng. I had planned to visit a friend who lived in Kansas City. I arrived there in the evening She greeted me with the statement that hefm'e we went to her home. we would have dinner at a hotel and then go to see a play which had proved the hit of the season A charming woman moved quietly about the lohhy of the Imautiful hotel. giving the plate the air of home Isn't she nice. whispered my fliiend, nThe hotel hostess-nll the new hotels have them nowadaysf' But Irma La Velle, for the host ss was mme other, hurl a'h'eady seen us mid was hurrying to greet me. Twn distinguished looking men oeeupidd a table near us. I knew I had seen them hefm'e. so I asked Gladys who they were. ttThe slender one is Dr. Fred Baker, the great hone speeinlis the stout. gentleman is Vernon Bammel't. who has made a fortune with his Bluffa' pilIs-gmnl for all ills, she answered. Before Ieould speak to them Gladys nudged me, HI want you to look at the blond back there dancing with the little girl in red. He is the most marvelous dancera and a nexfeet Romeo. The management pays him a fahulolls salary just for dancing with the patrons. I could hardly believe my eyes. hut the dapper danter really was Charlie Palmer. As we left the hotel we nlmnst ran into a couple who were just enteriugaHEdna Hawthorne! I exvlaimed-ttht Hawthorne now, she said. and I was not surprised to tee that her escort was the My who had teen devoted to her in mn- sehunl days though he had graduated a half term later than she had. I did not have time to talk to her for GIa'dvs wash urrying me to the theatre, As the curtain rose I enuld hear feminine whispers all over the audieneeetqsu't he darling! The sweet thing! Those eyes That huii'! My program told me that I was right in thinking that the idol of the stage was John Donaldson. Gladys drove me about to see thr- sights the next day. On the outskirts of the- eity we missed a beautiful stueeo house, uWhose home is that? I inquired. uAIL said Gladys. chat is a very exvlusive men's eluh. Only eonfirmed bachelors are admit- ted and not even so much as a woman's name can he mentioned about the place They tell me the club wns organized hy Edward Dupuy of Texhs.

As Sophs, we were just as loyal and brilliant as ever, During the class fights we rooted for the Seniors until our throats were sore, and the boys took their part in a more effective way. The Freshmen were amazed at our knowledge and we were confident that they appreciated our hints and bits of advice. Now we are Juniors and are at Last being allowed to take our proper place in the school. We have just as much if not more class spirit than we had three years ago, as any member of our class will tell you. Vth shows up the Seniors? The Juniors! Whn tells the Sophs where they belong?

Our entire Fleshman year was spent in readjusting the hitherto unknown activities of High Svhool life and having waited during u long ourselves. After graduating from Franklin, we were eager to acquaint ourselves With the hitherrta unknown activities of High School life and having waited during a long vacation we finally arrived at the time when we would become Freshmen. But how different was the reality frnm our rosy lined dreams and what untold agony and dis- comfort we suffered those first few weeks! 0111' experiences left an impression qn our minds which will not soon he erased. When we first met each other on that eventful morning, we felt we were neetlful of an introduction, for all our dear old classmates had either lengthened their dresses ml tl'm-led 1011;: pants ins the mlse may Del. Another perceptible change was ln'nught about by 0111' assumed air of dignity, Our limhs soon became cramped mid :u-hy from sit'ing nr sinnd'ng rigidly erect and we longed for some place to which we could escape from all the aust'l'e pei'sonages and the staring eyes, and relapse into 0111i former selves.

Cone sidering the letter men who returned, headed by Captain Palmer and coached lvy Couch Smith, it is small wonder that the hopes of Port Arthur supporters were high. No one can look at our record and suy that the season was not :1 success, We played six games, won four, tied one, and lost one. Therefore, fifteen yellow coat sweaters were awarded to the first team and seven maroon jerseys. with :1 gold P A R'l on tho vhost tn the Reserves. There was a medium sized squad to pick frnm and the spirit prevailing was one of hearty co-opemtiuu and harmony. Lack of harmony, and fuctions, are conditions that are never found on Port Arthur teams. There are three essentials that go toward making great teams, mid Port Arthur had all three this year. They are: brilliant players, vupnhle couches, and loyal scrubs. The Houston hPost placed four Port Arthur players on its ttAll State team, Denho and R. Butuud 0n the first, and Palmer and Lackey ou the second. Yet the Yellow Jackets were not a team built around nuy star 01' stars, but a smooth-running. hard- hitting machine, linilt and perfected lIy Coach Smith. Port Arthur could have llllti no more capable coach than Mr. Smith. But the first two essentials vnuhl Imt ulnne make a great team. and the last is not the lonst in importance. A team Which has no unselfish, haanighting scrubs is the one which will wear itself out before the close of u stren- uous season. But the team supported and perfected by daily prar'tice with men who are ready to contest with them every inch of the gridiron. that team will successfully stuud the test of actual fight. Never was a team better supported lIy its scrubs than the Yellow Jackets of 1922.

The doxology was sung by the entire audience. Rev. T. Alvis Davis pronounced the invocation, The high school chorus gave two beautiful vocal selections- Send Out Thy Light and HHeaven Resounds. The Scripture Lesson was read by Rev. W. I. Caughran. Mrs, J. E. Grammier gave a beautiful solHttThe Voice in the Wil- derhess. The sermon was preached hy Rev. C. W. Culp. Then a hymn was sung by all followed by the benediction by Rev. Davis. COMMENCEMENT NIGHT The mid-year graduation exercises were held Friday, January 26, Superintendent Sims presiding. The friends and relatives of the graduates filled the auditorium, Rev. Li B. Franck gave the invocation followed by :1 very pleasing solo by Mrs, E. H, McGuire. The salutatory was given by Janie Radau and the valedictory by Rufus David. The diplomas were presented hy Mr. D. Button. Dr. W. E. Callahan, president of the Port Arthur Business College, addressed the students. Dr. Callahan offered a life seholarship in the Port Arthur Buviness College every year to the student making the highest grades in his four Years at high school. Dr. Callahan dirl not need to do this to aseure us of his good will, for it is a well-known fact that P. A. High has no more ardent supporter than himself. Rufus David, of the mideteam class. was the first graduate to receive the scholarship The ventral thought of Dr. Pallahan's address was the possibilities which life presents each graduate passing out into life through the, portals of a good High Schooll Every student went away feeling that while former graduating classes had had many famous speakers from other cities that our home product was the message supreme. The commencement address follows, in part: The right idea of life and of a vomition means that the man of today who is the product of the past. a debtor to all the ages is not arriving, but has arrived, and holds the scepter of power. His eye is clearer, his arm longer. his feet swifter, his back broader, his ears keeneia his intellect mightier, his heart warmer. Yesterday the selfish man was upto-date-todny he is out of date. But the man of tomorrow must be superior to the man of today, The boy of yesterday read about wild Indians and the stage coach robbery of the West. He thought about the things happening at: his own door and in his own yard. He thought about the things close at hand. 0n the farm he plowed a few acres with a horse or an ox. The boy of today is reading the Radio magazine; his thoughts have become world wide. In the field with a motor he plows hundreds of acres where his father of yesterday plowed ten. He steps into the motor driven carriage or he takes the wings of the morning and flies. eating breakfast in New York and supper in San Francisco. Ah, with these things being done by the boy of today what will he accomplish when with the broadened vision he becomes the man of tomorrow. Man was born for dominion. It matters not how large and ferocious the beast may he or how tiny and deadly the microbe may he: over all, man has dominion. Man you are to he master and not to Me mustered. Now you understand what Paul meant When he suid, Have this mind in you which was in Christ. Christ was master over all and never was mastered. Thus man hemmes master of the world. The man of tomorrow will realize that the day is gone when man shall be con- sidered only as an animal. one simply to eat and drink. This truth has entered our business world and that real business sueeess is grounded on religion. We need men who will think right and think quick. Another sign whiehlprediets success for the man of tomorrow is the emphasis on service. That work WhWh is SPIfiSh always renets upon the one who does the work with injurious results whether it is from an individual or national standpoint Work to he helpful must have heart in it. The man of tomorrow will see to it that his 1 THE RULL I work has that inspiration hack of it which comes forth from a heart that is in love and sympathy with mankind. It is said that the books that have effected the world are not the ones that have been thought out but those that have been felt nut. Buck of Africa's new life stands Livingstone; hack of the Sermon on the Mount stands earth's greatest heart, Jesus Christ. He thus offered the solution to how to live. how to make living the art of arts to the young men and young women of tomorrow. the graduates of the Midterm Class, 1923. HI SENIOR PARTY Dr. and Mrs. E. D. Bernard entertained after the commencement exercises in honor of the mideyear graduation class. Not only the graduates but a large percentage of the whole school turned out to have a good time. and we were not disappointed either, for everyone went home thinking they had had more fun than any other party could afford. LIBRARY STAFF LUNCHEON On Wednesday preceding Thankgiviug, Miss Donaldson entertained the girls on the English library staff with a delightful luncheon in the English Library. The lucheon was prepared and served by Miss Sprottis Domestic Science pupils. Mrs. Carter spoke to the girls acknowledging hey appreciation of their services. Miss Donaldson mnde a short talk, also. The menu was as follows: Bouillon Sandwiches Chicken Salad Hot Chocolate Wa fel's Mints HI SENIOR PICNIC 6 A. M.! Ordinarily this sounds awfully early for Seniors to rise but this was HSenior Day , the event which comes once in a lifetime. We didn't start until about seven and had a cold ride up to the Baby Galvez. The buys found beautiful scenery around Griffing's Nursery. We reached our destination about ten and some of us took pictures tnone nf 'em turned 011th. The boys were very fond of going off to shoot squirrels Hi At noon we all gathered around the table and never before did we realize what a big appetite we had tyou have to have an appetite to he a seniorJ In the afternoon we listened to tho melodious strain of Hot Lips'i played on an out of tune piano.

We stopped at a little stand on the Beaumont road and had something to drink then we started again. Just when we were about to brag about not having car trouhle someone clisoovered a flat. We reached home just in time for suppelusnd each one declared we had had a better time than any seniors before us. J UNIOR-SENIOR DANCE Although during the Whole week the hi-senim's were wrapped up with examina- tions, everyone saved up all his pep fol- Friday, January 19. to turn out for the Junior-Senior dance given at the Plaza. The Junior and Senior colors gave the motif for the adornment 0f the hall room where a canopy of crepe streamers 0f the Chosen hues covered the ceiling. which af- $1 1923 $1 E.EM;: THE MM ULL torded place for myriads of colored balloonsi Large lights, covered with shades of the combined colors, cast a rosy glow over the room. The school colors were used in ef- fective manner in large bows on the windows and posts about the room. A spotlight arranged in one corner flushing forth the words i'Junior-SeniorV' was a very unusual feature of the evening. Serpentine, confetti, caps, and balloons added to the colorful effect. The music was provided by the nFour Flushers Orchestra. Miss Mary Gillard entertained the guests with several toe dance numbers during intermission. One hundred and thirty guests, including high school students and additional guests. enjoyed this happy occasion and the Seniors feel much indebted to the Juniors for the good time they had. INTERSCHOLASTIC LITERARY MEET Rrepresentatives of seventeen cities and counties arrived in Port Arthur Friday morning, April 20, to participate in the various literary contests. They were received very hospitnhly at the High School by the student body and were entertained in the homes during their stay in the city. The preliminary contests began at 2 o'clock in the high school auditorium, con- tinuing throughout the afternoon. The finals started at 8 o'clot'k. Port Arthur had a number of entries in these finals. the following of which took first places: Jamail Antone, Junior Boysi Deelnmatinn; Everett Pannier, Senior Boysi Declumation, and Hardy Akin and Francis Dunn, the Buy? Debate. These were very important victories for Port Arthur and inspired confidence which had much to do with our suct-ess in the State Meet at Austin. INTERSCHOLASTIC TRACK MEET On Saturday. April 21, the Interscholastic Meet of District 26 was held at Franklin Fieltli Port Arthur entered the meet after a couple of weeks training. with a team as yet untried, and with many men uncertain as to what was their best event. South Park. Sour Lake. and Port Arthur Were the only three schools entered in the class A contests and tum the start it vould be seen that they were almost evenly matched. Bledsoe was the oustandiug star for Port Arthur, taking first in the 100 and r220 and doing so well in the latter that he came near to smashing the state record. Our weakness lay in the fact that we had no entrants in the shot put, discus throw, or the pole vault. In the broad jump Sullivan und Batteere tied for first place with Bledsoe a close second. Simms and Gaspard hmk places in the distance events. The prettiest event of the whole utternoon. and one which served in u measure as :1 balm to injured Port Arthur hopes, was the relay. Walker, Port Arthur's lead- off man, got away to a good start and Sullivan finished the second lup slightly in the i lead of his oppnnent. Akin run his quarter beautifully and came out with even a better lead than he had received. Bledsoe took the lmton from Akin, and although he had every right to be exhausted after the grilling spurt in the 100 and 220. he stepped out like the zephyr that he is, and running as if it were 220 yards and not 440. finished the race almost 20 yards in the lead. SENIOR DRESS-UP DAY There had been much furtive preparation in the way of Senior Dress-up Day. Nov one knew anything about it but Seniorsiund Seniors alonei Well. you can imagine the curiosity of other L-lussunn when the ww girls arrayed in blue aprons conspic- uously udorned with marks of silver, hurrying and seurring thru the corridors, and when they saw boys derized out in white shirts and tx-nusers,, a blue and silver tie and cap enrrying a tame wrapped in the same mlm-s. It was not lung before all learned that it was Senior Dress-up Day and that something exciting was going to happen. By nuon everyone except Seniors was keyed up to the snapping puint. All Seniors were summuned to convene in the front, hall. Every Junior, Soph and Fresliie were out on the front walk eagerly anti curiously waiting to see what was guing to come off. At length. the doors were opened and seniors marched in twos and twos out to a grave which had been dug for the purpose of burying all things distasteful to a senim: When Mr. Everett Palmer, the preacher, began. everything was hushedl English. Chemistry and Latin were dropped into their doom without mercy. After the ceremony there had been plans for a wedding. Mr. Outside World tParker Sleezet-l was to marry Miss Senior tGladys Bessonl. the flower girls being Miss Junior tAlice Alkirel and Miss Soph tDul'othy Fitznel'l and the ring bearer. Miss Freshie tI.aura Leggettl. But. in the meantime, where was the bride? The groom and all attendants were ready but the bride was missing. Since one can't very well have :1 wedding without a bride and since the nonn period was over, the wedding was postponed far the sixth period. There was very little concentration on lessons the fifth period. At the sixth period the Seniors proudly issued from the doors and formed a line along each side of the front walk. The hride had been secured and she marrhed slowly 110 the aisle 0n the arm of her father. Mr. Carter, who acted as Mr. High School, read the ceremony in a very clever manner whieh hl'ought forth much laughter. This was the eulmina- tion of events that took place on April 2 Everynne declared that the day was a consummate success and hoped that it would continue to he through the coming years. BAND CONTEST In 1920 our friend, A. M, Culpeppel', came tn line with us. With him he brought many gnnd and helpful ideas and we assimilated the hnst at them. Chief of these ideas was the idea of a seh 01 hand. He got the town s irit worked up to support a Imnd and then brought Messrsl Luntz and Kerns here to insure specialized instructiun. He went before the school board and got the instrumentsethe instruments that he fought. lllHl and died over. Now two years later, after much lahoriuus practice. 43 members of the Port Arthur High School Band with Director Oren IL Lamz went to Dallas where they cumpetetl in the State Band Contest held in that t-ity. They returned. crowned with laurels. hearing three first prizes. and acclaimed the greatest high sehnm hand in the state of Texas. First prizes taken in the state contest were for displaying the best playing of any of the twozvear hands entered: having the best instrumentation of any of the 20 hands entered: and having traveled the 1011;:th distance to participate in the state contest. When the Terms high school bands marched through the streets of Dallas 011 the way tn the Coliseum. where the State contest was held. the Port Arthur hand stepped out in the lead of the procession of 20 hands. gathered from every section of the state. - in presenting a merican Legion At the Coliseum. the hand joined with the 20 other state han program, the numbers played including ttShores of Tampa Bay. March. itSnngs 0f the Old Folks, and The, Star Spangled Banner. The prizes won by the Port Arthnl'ians totaled $175. the best secund-year players prize being $100. the hest instrumentation $50, and for coming the longest distance tn enter the contest $25. Selections used for the contest entered by the two your hands were Long Weary Days. a one-step, and Seminole Overture. Miss Golda Hansard, only girl in Port Arthur School Band at Dallas was presented with :1 silver mesh bag by the Junior Chamber of Commerce at Dallas for her partici- pation in the parade. When we are patting ourselves on the haek and t-ongratulating ourselves 4m our hand. let us not forget the two men who have made it possihle. Mr. Oren Lantz and Mr. A. M. Culpeppel'. ! F $.62; Ln.

Hanchett t'For luck, laughed young Allen Reed, as he, faStened a tiny jeweled swastlka to :1 filmy white ruffle, and thought he meant what the gentleness in his voice implied. For an instant the gills slim brown fingers fumbled among the ruffles at her throat and then held out a wee silver enameled hlue him. For happiness, Allen, whispered June Elvidge and meant all that the tears in her gray eyes said she meant. And that happened in the summer of the year that the United States entered the war in those days when sixteen-year-old girls still wore their hair in braids and hail silk stockings for best. Life was a lal'k to Allen-it had always been. Why should he doubt that it could he otherwise? War promised to he the best of it nllizlll the fellows going and the best of chances for a commission. Killed? Not he. June would see him back with a dozen medals and theyid live happily ever, after. June heard him and smiled, and believed him. Her seventeen yars of life had been ordered and gentle. War was a name to her. Death a vague somthing that happened to people one read about in the papers. How handsome Allen would look in uniform. He must he sure to send her pictures aml things. But the summer would he hartt without him, and father said it was hard to tell how long it would last. And rememhering her father's grave face June mus suddenly eold. Father didn't smile, father didn't think it was a matter of medals and marching; her father thought that it was terrible and was glml he had no son to he butchered. Suppose her father was right and she and Allen were wrong. Her father was usually rightghe rend the papers an awful lot and understood what he read. Suddenly June leaned against the white pillar of the porch and buried her head in her arms. 0h, Allen, I'm afraid for you to go. I'm afraitlf, she sohhed. Alnl that was just like June Elvidge. The hay patted her shoulder and hegan tn hum a popular song uhout smiling when your heart was breaking, That was just like Allen Reed. And because Allen thought he meant all that he had said that summer night, he cut June's picture down to fit his hill fold and mirefully pinned the, little hlue hird pin to the inner side of the flap of his khaki shirt pocket. And hemuse June meant everything she did not say she always wore the little swastika and vould never keep hack the tears at the scent of honey snekle 01' the sight of moonlight. She prayed funny little incoherent and utterly selfish little prayers, all about one soldier out of the many millions that needed looking after. That summer was not so had. Allen wrote to her often, telling how strong and fat he was getting. In August he made a flying trip home to verify his statements. June made him candy and khaki colored hamlkervhiefs and once even essayod a cake that Was better than it looked. If June's work in school was not quite up to the work of the previous three years it was still good for she tried hard, and any way, parents and teachers were not overly eritioal that winter. Spring passed and June was getting used to not having letters. Cnmmeneement gave her something to think about. hut when it was over there was the long summer ahead. Allen did not write, hut she knew that he was all right, 01' his uncle would have tnltl her father, If Allen had been anywhere but in France on the trenches. that summer would have been the end of things hetween him and June. Bun yon eanlt cast off a soldier who is fighting for you just because he doesn't write. At least June couldn't. She was that kind of girl. She did her best and even gave her eighteenth hirthtlny money to the Red Cross. XVhen the armistice was signed June was away at school. In her eestnvy she told the girl across the hall all shout the little pin and showed her Allen's picture. HH'nJ. said the girl who was redeheaded and extremely clever, hes mighty good looking. How old is he? ltTwentyvone-no, twenty-two now. announced June proudly. itH'mF said the girl again, what's he been writing to you w mnke you as glad as this? You're not thinking about getting married. are you? mu!

I 11011't know, she said, I just never thought much about things like getting married 111111 Allen's changing. I don't know-11 She Went into her own room.

E FICKLE FATE Q Yes, Rex Blaine had seen Suzanne at school, in fact she had been in his class dur- ing their last two years at High Sehonl. hut since Rex had acquired the position of leader among his paitienlar sevtion of that large universal body of young degenerates. he was entirely too pre-ocenpied to notice a girl as independent as Suzanne. Inciden- tally, it wasn't neeessurx for Rex had no trouble at all in seulring dates or in gaining little attentions frmn the, opposite sex. Dontt jump at conclusiuns, Suzanne was decidedly popular too. She had just never appealed to him. that was ailt They were twn of a kind. hut they had gone their dif- ferent ways. she to some. fashionable sehunl or other for girls. and he tn a medical col- lege. They had huth come home for the summer vacation and it was some two weeks after the, arrival of the students that Rex's aunt, Mrs. Hartman. the society leader of Glenwood. gave the big dance at the season. of course, Suzanne Nul'ton was invited and it was not until that eventful night that Rex tnnk speeial notice at her. He was standing upon the stairway when she came in. He did nut notice her escort. Douglas Hustlewmnl. but fairly gasped in admiration at her beauty. She was modest and lovely. her eye were hluer than the very sky and were half t-ovex'ed hy loose ends of elnudy hlaek hair. Rex felt as if he had known her always. and madiy rushed furwai'tl to greet her. Suzanne was indeed surprised and the two young people, looked at each nther. smiled. shouk hands. leuked again. smiled once more, and then one blushed a little while the ether ennghetl. Suzanne did not want for dances that night and it was only hy elever seheming with her escort that Rex managed to obtain even one dance. And oh, the delight of that one daln'et Rex's heart humped dangerously. He hail achieved in his twenty years an easy grace. a twisted smile. and a reputatinu of being rather wild, but this nno dame with her completely stunned him. He muttered some- thing aimnt the music and the weathel'ithvn it was over, she was gone from his arms, He looked wildly ahnlit him for one moment and then stalked river to a window seat where he might sit and dream 0f the happiness of the last few moments. And there he remained until all had gone, living over and aver again the ecstaey of that last dance. Exactly une week later Rex and Suzanne again met at a house party given at the summer hmne of Mrs. Hartman. By this time our hero had gained his self-mmpnsnre and when he saw Suzanne daintily coiled in a hammock he, approached in that manner known as jelly heaning . Jelly-heaning means that you walk with a lung, rhythmical step, the hotly waying slowly, and hold your heml and neck very stiff and straight. He greeted her casually. 0h most casually and seated himself on the ground nearby. Then followed fifteen minutes in whith to chat. Once or twice ho was on the point of asking her to go airing with him in his new raver, but he was not yet sure of his ground. As they talked of this and that Rex felt sure that no one quite under- stoml him as Suzanne did, and their diswnrse gradually turned to the dance of the next night at another home on the heach near that of the Hartman's, when just at that moment Jim Hulket appeared and asked with just the proper amount of eagerness in his voiee. tti heg ynnr pardon. but may I he ynnr escort tn the dance, Sue? And as he did so he very plainly and deliberately nnd rudely shoved Rex out of the way. t'Exense me, Jim, but Miss Norton is going with me. aren't you, Sue? Rex asked pleasantly, and hefore any One could say a word he had lifted Sue to her feet and had mlmly tucked Suzanne's hand in his arm and heme her off before the party who had been witne-sing this unmistakable rivalry with silent amazement. Foremost among Ht $2 this party stood Marion Hays, Rex's t'steady heretofore. Sue, of course, assented and Rex rubbed his chin as though he expected that affirmative reply as a result of his Caveman tactics. It was the following night. the night of the dance. that Rex knew himself to he deeply. wonderfully in love. He could but gaze With ardent. admiration as he, saw Suzanne descend the stairs. In spite of her slim height and the sophisticated skill with which she had wound her velvety black hair about the small lovely head she looked like some charming and contrite child as she came Slowly across the room to him. In her dainty orchid frock she looked as fragile and as exotic as any rare blossom. itItis wonderful to he with you . he said low in her ear. Her eyes sparkled tantalizlngly. The second dance had just begun When they entered and they immediately started off in gay time to the music. Rex was an unusually good dancer and he seldom found a partner who suited herself to his step. hnt Suzanne seemed to melt in his arms. Her movements were in perfect unison with his, her feet seemed to float nirily over the floor, her hand gave only the slightest touch to his shoulder. 011! It was wonderful to move like this. He could go on torrver. nI never knew what it was to dance before , he whispered. hlVe ought xllwayn to dance together. We just match. Wonlt you say something, Suzanne, dear? Do you really want me to? she breathed so low that the breeze swept the words away before they had scarcely escaped her lips. Yes. Sit it out, Sue , he begged quickly. Come on, we'll find some nook, To his joy she nodded assent and they slipped from the big room out on to the veranda. He didn't know what to say. UIellve never met any one like you before , he stnmmel'ed at last. She turned her head and her eyes met his inquiringly. Honestly. I've known loads of girls but none like you. You'reiyonire wonder- ful. I'm crazy about you! She smiled hewitchiugly. uYon like me just n little bit. don't you? Youlll trust yourself to me. won't ynn? he asked. But just at that moment some one interrupted and Sue was gone with Douglas Hastlewood: and 119111' him, Rex found Marion. Of course, they had planned it. Rex knew that. but it did not menu that he would have to talk to Mariouehetd show her. he'd only think and talk of Suzanne. uWonderful girl, Suzanne, uh? he finally ventured as theyr'tdanced. AYes, too bad Dodglns only got here tonightihad to go to the city for a ring good enough for her. Rex only half heard. uRing? 0h ring? For whom? W'hy Rex, you stupid boy. you don't mean to say you are ignorant 0f their engage- . ment? And then, just because he had nothing else to do. Rex suddenly laughed and took Marion out to that same dimn on the veranda and said the very same thing to her that he had said to Suzanne only half an hour before, supplying. of course. the mime Marion where he had put Suzanne's previously. And when he came to that last question. You'll trust yourself to me won't you dear?

Born with a love for freedom and gnyety, and as fate would have it, the only child of a Baptist minister. she had spent the first seventeen years of her mother- less life in a dreary routine of study, church and prayer meetings. As a result she finished high school a shy, sensitive girl, somewhat careless as to her appearance. After finishing high school she was sent to Texas University and spent her first year in much the same way as her high school days. In her second year, a new girl, Estelle Page. came to live at the dormitory and was given the room adjoining Patience's and the trouble began to brew. Estelle, pretty. sophisticated and inclined tn be somewhat boastful. looked on Patience with n0 small degree of amusement and tensed her un- meroifully about imaginary suitors and her innocenoe of mquetry. At first Patience novepted the jokes in good faith, but gradually she became indignant. and developed 11 desire for 1'etaliation. One evening Patient-e went into the library to get a hook she hnd let't nnd unexpeetedly came face, to face with Estelle and a date as they were leaving for 11 show. Befure she could escape Estelle called out with engaging sweet ness. 0h Patience, deal; I nearly forgntil saw Paul Dunlap this afternuon and he asked me if you'd mind if he culled you up tomorrow. Pntieuoe's blue eyes hluzed but she could find no retort as the two went out the door laughing gayly. She snatched the hook from the piano and run up the stairs to her mom, slammed the door and was about to throw herself on the bed when she caught a reflection of her face in the mir- ror. Slowly she walked to the mirror, still gazing at the face reflected there. hThis can't be, me, but it is, she murmured, Slowly unheliet' gave way to pleasure and she smiled happily at her reflection. The face that smiled buck was small and white. two tiny pink spots glowed in the cheeks and the eyes, bright, with unshed tears. were, deep blue fringed with long lashes. With trembling fingers she pulled the pins from her plainly arranged hair and carefully surveyed the mirror fur a more becoming style. As she worked, her thoughts returned to Estelle and whut she hull said. Paul Dunlap was the 'S. L. tsem'et lovet of nearly all the girls in the house. He was handsome and wealthy, but a trifle conceited toward girls and Patience know that Estelle had done her best to capture him. but had failed. uIf I could have only one date with him. Estelle would keep quiet the rest of her lifeanml I WILL! voiced Patience, uif it costs me my life. With this bnld assertion fresh on her mind she went to bed but not to sleep. Numerous wild scenes rushed through her mind, emth one only to he rejected as impossible. Through the halls mum- the tingle 0f the phone and Patience decided on the plan to adopt. It wns nn outme geously unvonventiunul one but she outlined hex- plan at campaign without 21 trace of fetu- 01- embarrassment, 6nly wonder that this hold person could he the quiet and bush- ful girl of a few hours before. The next morning dawned dear and bright for Patience. She woke early and so llllll time to inspect her wardrobe before breakfast. Surely there was something that would Ilnelmt not an evening frock could she find. She had, however, a beautiful hlnck mp0 that had helonged to her mother and that would do fine if she could only find :1 dress suitable for the occasion. Tired and not a little discouraged she arrived late for breakfast greatly to the surprise of the matron and girls. During the meal Patience caught fragments of a conversation across the table. ttI drew the last cent 1 had out of the hank Patience's fork fell in her plate with a clatter and she ex. claimed aloud. Well of all the dumbellsf'. hI-ex'eyou uren't well, Patience? Mrs. Leadbetter inquired with no little concern. Never felt better in my life? Patience hastened to assure her. But Mrs. Lemlhet. ter was not assured. Slowly the hours dragged by and finally Patience was off for an hour and a half. Quivkly catching a car she mde into town and made straight for a telephone booth. Once ivside, her nerve slowly began to ebb, so with frantic haste, she called Paul Dun- THE mum. lap's number and in a few minutes 11 deep masculine voice spoke ttHello over the wire. t'Hekhelleaul Dunlap? uYes. HWill you kindly call 1743 this evening and ask to speak to Patience Willis? the voice rang sweet and full over the wire. but Paul was not interested in pretty voices So his own was a trifle bored as he replied, 'tYe-yes I'll trye-but who is this speaking? ttOh, I heg your pardon, I thought I said kindly call, not try.

With one last desperate swallow Patience opened her door and marched out past; Estelle and down the hall to the phone Had the telephone operatm' listened in she might have heen surprised at the strange, eonversatian that took place.

At the other end of the wire Paul still held the receiver in hand while he gazed in dnmhfoumled amazement at his racket on the wall. Well, he addressed it. that heats all I ever heard Miami what's more I WONT go. But before he left for supper his evening clothes were laid out on the bed and he had allowed himself only half an hour for his meul. As Paul's pmve ful rond'tei' drew up hefm'e the house, Estelle and two giggling room-mates hastily made their exit from the reception hall and became studiously 0e- eupied iu the drawing room. Upon Paul's ontranee ench turned in simulated surprise and received a slight how in return. Paul seated himself so that his eyes commanded the only entrance to the room and kept them glued to the dour despite the attempts of Estelle to arrest his attention by her efforts on the piano. Patience's heels made no noise on the soft rugs so Paul had time to nhsorh some of the shock the dazzling Vision had mused before the other girls became aware of her presem-e in the room. Paul was amazed. Could this lovely m'eatul'e with the childish face, he the imperti- nent person who had spoken s0 presumptinusly over the phone?
