Page Twenty two The Hassayamfier Class History, 1927 In the early days of September, 1923, our group of about sixty recruits was re- ceived at the great training grounds of Prescott High School. We were first inspected by a board of old-timers and the some of the members of the weaker sex were passed on and given gentle care by members of the sex, but the multitude of strong young men was ordered to go thru the illegal process of being clipped. The clipping pr cess, which has since been abandoned, was one of the most important sanitary measures taken by the sanitary board. Working steadily, with our female auxiliary, we met our first enemy, in the shape of first semester exams. Only a few casualties resulted from this attack. Three of our members were among those to be honored with letters that year. Our basketball team came within a few points of snatching the regimental champion- ship. In June another attempt was made to thin out our ranks and then we went out on furlough, our first enlistment having expired. When roll was called in September, several blank files were found in our company, and also a few new fighters from other organizations appeared. Five new lettermen and two new letter girls were found in our ranks and our noble track team walked away with the regimental cup. The girls took the girls’ basketball cup home for safe keeping. Several members were also sent to headquarters to help publish the Badger, and a few became cadet officers. Our second enlistment was not without its sorrows. Our beloved class-mate, Raymond McCash, left us and went over the Great Divide. The final scrimmage with exams reduced our ranks only slightly, but when the Top-Sergeant called our toll for the third time several changes were in order. A few members had fallen by the wayside or had been transferred. Five new letters were found distributed among the company and its auxiliary. Our basketeers walked away with both of the regimental trophies. As the regiment failed to hold its regular track meet we were unable to get the cup, but our Honor Roll record increased greatly. The battle in June was not so hard on us because we had become used to such hardships. When we lined up for our final enlistment before retirement, we found some vacan- cies and a few weakened veterans. There were new faces and most of the steadfast Old Guard. An early attack was made by the constitution tests but they failed to harm us. The Senior play, after a lengthy postponement, added to the dramatic record we set as Juniors. Among our number we can count four members of the Athletic Scholarship Society, eight lettermen, five letter women, and a high percent on the Honor Roll. Our ranks have been reduced from over fifty to thirty-two who are reaching the final goal in the enemy’s territory. —Bob Yount. Puyv Twenty three The H assay am fier Pages From An Artist’s Diary Washington, I). C. Wed., Nov. 14, 1935. Well, Little Book, since it is my birthday and I haven’t written in you for such a terribly long time, 1 am going to celebrate by taking this opportunity to tell you about all the people I have met the last six months. You remember that in May I began my present concert tour, which, by the way, I have not finished yet. Starting in Chicago I made my first appearance at the Wash- ington Opera House under the auspices of none other than Richard Yeomans, my old school chum from Arizona. Maybe you don’t think 1 was surprised to find Dick spon- soring musical entertainments hut you never can tell what will happen in this old world, Little Book. After leaving Chicago 1 went to Philadelphia and there whom do you suppose I met? I’ll tell you! Evelvn Cornick—Yes, sir, you remember the little girl who had the lead in our Junior play. What is she doing in Philadelphia? Why she is the leading lady in the largest dramatic company there. Would you believe it? She’s really won- derful. 1 had heard so much about her that I went to see her one night and 1 certainly wasn’t disappointed, but I have so much to tell you, Little Book, that I can t spend much time on each person. While in Philadelphia I also met Monroe Thompson and Mazie J)o Armond. Monroe is one of the leading lawyers there and Mazie is teaching in a large high school. Speaking of Monroe reminds me—of course I told you that Amber was the world’s Champion tennis player, didn’t I ? From Philadelphia I went on to New York and, my goodness! of all the old school pals I met there! I never dreamed that so many of our 1927 graduating class would come to “the big city.” Of course I have been keeping in touch with Gail and Mary, so I went right to their apartments and we talked over the good old times we had in High School. Gail, as I expect I have told you, is an interior decorator, and Mary is working with the Secret Service and—what do you think, Little Book, they have arranged to go over on the Leviathan with me when I cross in January! Do you remember how we used to love to talk about that old ship when we were youngsters (We thought it such a huge old thing.) 1 must go on, Little Book, for I have just LOTS more to tell you. Taylor Hicks, our P. H. S. star athlete, has a Physical Culture school on Fourth Avenue and everyone says he is fine. Dixon Fagerberg—certainly you remember Dixon, our class “money man”—is a big financier on Wall Street and money—they say he doesn’t even know how much he has. We surely were proud when he and two other men took Gail, Mary and me out to dinner, and we certainly had a good time. And now the grand surprise! You remember Lillian Raitt and what a wonderful soprano voice she had; well she and Joe Allen are singing in Grand Opera and as soon as my tour is over we are going to do some work together. After leaving New York I came down here to Washington, and I certainly like the place. Yesterday I went thru the United States Capitol and there, big as you please, were Howard Jenkins and Stuart Leavell, United States Senators from Arizona. Was I surprised? Well, just think of Howard and Stuart, senators. After talking to them awhile and hearing them tell of the wonders of Arizona, I got homesick, Little Book- yes, sir, 1 did—so I’m going to take a short trip back there before I go on with my tour. Little Book, I met the manager of this hotel this morning and who do you suppose it is—none other than Claude Cline. Don’t you remember his mother had charge of the Head Hotel in good old Prescott. Oh! I almost forgot to tell you, Alva Phillips is a stenographer in the United States Patent office here. Page Twenty four The lia ssayamfier Pages Y rom An Artist’s Diary Piescott, Arizona. Nov. 30, 1935. Well, Little Book, I tcld you I was coining home (It surely seems like home) for a visit, didn’t 1 ? I’ve certainly had a gool time while being here too. Mrs. Smith, the leading society lady here, who, by the way, used to be Margaret Orthel, met me at the train and brought me right to her home and she’s certainly been wonderful to me. I have also met many other old pals. Inez Hollirigshead is teaching Chemistry in the New High School now and Leotia Stoney is the History teacher. To tell you who I met before I left Washington—when I went to the Railroad office to see about my private car, the officials sent me to the President and there was Fred Cromwell himself and Pearl Davis as his private Secretary. People always did say they’d never he separated. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were married and Pearl is working in order to he with Fred more, ’cause you know she never liked to sit around home alone. While 1 was waiting in the depot, two lovely little children came over and were talking to me and when their mother came over after them I remembered her as Mar- garet Elliott. Her husband has a government position in Washington. Mrs. Smith was telling me that Bob Yount is a noted physician in Los Angeles and has a wonderful little family. She also informed me that Mary Humphreys is teaching athletics in a girl’s school in Kentucky and that Marjorie Bonner is an artist in Greenwich Village, while Edith Otey is studying law in Massachusetts. Celsus Albert is working for the railroad. He is Superintendent or something like that and is making good. Alfred Goodwin has the largest men’s clothing store in town, w'hile Charles Wren is Prescott’s leading automobile dealer. Verna Foster is teaching here in the kindergarten. Elsie Shupp is some sort of scientist, studying flowers and such things. Well, Little Book, it is almost time for me t: be leaving this old town and traveling across the sea; I had a letter from Gail to-day ar.d she said for me to hurry up and get my visit over. Paris, France. Jan. 14, 1936. Now, Little Book, we are in gay Paree and Oh! what a good time we had coming over. Mary, Gail, and I have an apartment here and we surely enjoy it. Last night we were at one of the Roof Gardens and to my surprise a good-looking young man came up to me ard asked me if I wasn't Dorothy Hennig, the pianist, and when I answered him in the affirmative, he sh ok my hand and told me that he was my old friend. Maurice Tovrea. We girls were certainly astonished for we never ex- pected to meet any of our fellow classmates this far from home. After talking to Maurice a while we learned that Alice Hill and Charlotte Raible are also here. Alice, Maurice explained, is working on a newspaper here as assistant Editor-in-Chief while Charlotte is traveling in Italy to learn s much as she can about Roman History, as she is much interested in Latin. Maurice also told us that his uncle had died and left him a vast fortune, so he was just having a good time. My, my Little Book, this is an awfully big world, but not TOO big after all.

Last year’s championship debaters did not come out this year, so an entirely new' team had to be organized and trained. Under the able direction of Miss Savage, producer of champions, the new team, composed of Claude Bate and Robert Cromw’ell worked hard. A victory was gained over Williams and a defeat wfas suffered at the hands of Jerome. The question for debate this year was: “Resolved, that a Secretary of Education with powers and duties commensurate with those of other Cabinet officers should be added to the President’s Cabinet.” The members of the second team, Edmund Lodge and Newton Ferguson, deserve mention for their assistance at all times. I ago Thirty-eight I he Hassay am ter National Athletic Scholarship Society The National Athletic Scholarship Society is, as the name suggests, national in scope, and has for its purpose the encouragement of higher scholarship ideals among athletes. In order to become a member oi this society the student must be a letterman and have had for three consecutive semesters an average grade in all subjects carried, better than the average grade of the school. At present Prescott High School has six members. Two of them, Cline and Hicks, became members in 1925, the others matricu- lating this year. It is hoped that the membership will increase so that in a year or so the society may become active locally. This national society has met with favor in every section of the country as it should, since athletes must not forget that scholar- ship ranks first. The members are: SENIORS .JUNIORS Dixon Fagerberg Taylor Hicks Claude Cline Fred Cromwell Bill Bate SOPHOMORES Fortino Lopez f'ntft Tliirly rilin' 7 he H assay am per The ellow-.lackets The Yellow Jackets, an entirely new and original organization made its appearance this year and has proved the pride of Prescott High School. Starting with but few mem- bers, this snappy group has grown, largely through the efforts of Mary Humphreys, their peppy leader, to have a membership of some fifty girls. The purpose of the Yellow-Jackets is to promote school spirit and to provide a trained, snappy, well or- ganized rooting section to back up the High School teams in all their contests. The Yellow-Jackets have carried out their purpose to perfection; taking charge at Student Body assemblies they have proved good entertainers besides pepping up the whole school. They have turned out to every game and it is hoped that the organization will continue next year. President .... Vice President Treasurer Secretary Advisor ......

Tcgethsr we’ll start on that great highway That’s known as the load of life. It’s a pathway full of adventures Of happiness and strife. And as we cover the weary miles We’ll come to forks in the road, Ar.d some will take the easier path In order to lighten the load; Many will choose the business world. Others perhaps the sea, And some from out of our number Famed artists and authors will be. A few will seek the lofty heights While most of us stay below. But fame doesn’t count, for each can help And serve, wherever we go. Thus we’ll sow, and reap, and harvest And though our troubles ne’er cease, May all of our petty battles be fought On the fields of peace, Where friendship is not forgotten, And higher ideals are made, The place where the sword and bayonet, Are replaced by plowshare and spade. And when at last we’ve reached the end. The final parting of ways, In each of our hearts a beacon will burn The memory of joyous school days. —Gail Allee ’27. The Hassayamfter Page Forty « vt n Champions Frescott had a very successful season in Football, winning: the Northern Arizona Championship. The Badgers won eight games and lost none. Coach De Vivier had five lettermen to build his team. As these were the only men with previous experience, much credit is due to the coach and to the grit of the team.

At the Flagstaff tour- nament they were eliminated (in their second game) by Winslow. Much good can be said of the 1927 team.

Coach DeVivier had about ten men out for track at the first of the season. This squad was thinned down to five: Hicks, Baldridge, Middleton, Shaw and Lopez. The first meet of the year was the County one at Jerome. Clarkdale came out first with fifty-one points and Prescott second with forty-six. Jerome was third. In the Northern Arizona Track meet at Flagstaff, Prescott and Clarkdale were tied at the last day of the Tournament. However ,as Prescott had only five men entered, Clarkdale took the relay, thereby winning the meet. Shaw was the high point man of the meet with sixteen points. He was first in the one hundred yard dash and the four hundred forty. He placed second in the two-hundred and twenty yard dash and in the broad jump. Hicks placed first in the broad jump and pole vault and took second place in the one hundred yard dash. In the four-hundred and forty yard dash, he placed second. Middleton placed second in the shot put and the discus. Baldridge was second in the high hurdles and third in the high jump. Lopez was second in the half mile. Girl’s Basketball Owing to the fact that girls interscholastic basketball has been done away with in Northern Arizona the Inter-Class basketball tournament was held on a larger scale than usual this year. Each team played at least three games. The Senior Girls, champions of 1925 and 1926, again won the series. Since it is the custom in P. H. S. to award the cup permanently to the class winning it three successive years, it now belongs to the Class of ’27. This years tournament showed that there is still an abundance of material in school. The Seniors easily showed their superiority against all opponents; the Sopho- mores were runners-up and had a well balanced team; the Juniors had several individual stars; the Frosh showed up very well considering their inexperience. The Senior line-up was: Mary Humphreys, Edith Otey, Margaret Orthel, Amber Thompson, Lillian Raitt. Leotia Stoney, Pearl Davis, and Margaret Elliot.

The tables were artistically decorated in the senior colors of crimson and white; these colors were also used in the programs and menus. A dance followed the short but exceptionally good program. JUNIOR PROM June 10, 1926. “Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot.” As a final farewell to the Seniors, the Juniors entertained with the “Prom,” the biggest social function of the school year. The Junior colors of green and gold were effectively used in turning the “gym” into a veritable “bower of beauty” while the huge baskets of flowers which lined the stage gave a springtime effect to the entire room. The music and refreshments were perfect and when the last strains of “Home Sweet Home” had died, everyone gave three rousing cheers for the Juniors. SENIOR DANCE September 17, 192(5. 44When all the World is Young. Feeling it necessary that the Freshmen should be properly initiated into High School society, the Seniors gave a dance in honor of the class of ’30 on Friday, Sep- tember 17. The Freshmen received their initiation with real P. H. S. spirit and seemed to have the time cf their lives riding kiddy-cars, playing with toy balloons and eating green lollipops. JUNIOR DANCE October 9. 1928. “When Lessons and Tasks are Forgotten.” The Juniors gave the second dance of the semester and all those who were present declared that it was certainly a “howling success.” The “Gym” was crowded and everyone admitted that the Juniors certainly know how to entertain; come on Juniors —let’s have another one soon! SOPHOMORE DANCE November 29, 1926. “Coinin’ Thru the Rye.” Amid a barnyard atmosphere of corn stalks and bales of hay, the Sophomores entertained with a “barn dar.ce” on November 29, in the “gym.” One of the largest, gayest bunches of “hicks” you ever saw gathered to enjoy the dance and everyone agreed that the Sophomores had scored the big success of the social season. The doughnuts and cider which were served during the evening gave the finishing touch to the party. FRESIIMAN DANCE December 4, 192(5. ()n With the Dance On Saturday, December 4, the Freshmen overcame their bashfulness and gave their first party. The programs were cleverly made to represent small blue and gold foot- balls and toy footballs were awarded to the winners of the prize waltz. The Freshmen gave their dance in real P. H. S. style and we all agree that they certainly make, splendid hosts, so just wait till they are Seniors! SENIOR HOP December 19, 1926. “ Deck the Hall with Boughs of Holly-” On Friday. December 19, the Seniors entertained with their “Hop,” the first formal dance of the year. The “gym” seemed to picture the very spirit of Christmas in its decorations of red crepe paper, cedar and mistletoe, and also in the huge Christmas tree placed in the center of the floor. One of the features of the program was a “snow-- storm” extra in which the dancers were deluged by a storm of confetti. Perhaps it was the approach of Christmas that made everyone feel so gay; anyhow the Seniors cer- tainly gave a wonderful dance. Page Sixty four I he Hassayamfier Pago Sixty-five The H assay am tier Old Dad-Burn-It I've heard many a whopper in my day but I believe if it should ever come to a showdown old Dad-Burn-It, instead of the preacher, would win the pup. Old Dad seems to derive a great kick out of telling his yarns ar.d to let him know that you disbelieve them would be very highly insulting. Some think that Dad has seen better days but that he is now cracked; personally I think Dad is still all there and that he acts like he does simply for our and his own amusement. You can think like you please. Here’s one of the tales he told to us after we had done a hard day’s work in the field and were all waiting for the bus to come to take us back to camp. I’ll try to tell it just like he actually did himself. Just imagine yourself with us there, waiting ex- pectantly for old Dad (or Dad-Burn-It as we sometimes called him) to break the silence. With tantalizing deliberateness he takes out his tobacco, puts his teeth de- terminedly into the plug, tugs a bit, then gives up with a sigh, and resignedly takes out his knife to cut himself a “chaw.” “Wal, hur-rumph,” he ventures, “ 'S’been a little warmer t’day ain’t it?” Knowing that he does not expect an answer we keep our silence and await, with constrained mirth, the inevitable tale. “Y’kncw it sorta reminds me of the time I tried to go to Moose C ity in that ter- rible blizzard that struck Canady back in ’87.” Then, having his quid properly started, he settles it comfortably in his left cheek and with a smile in his eyes starts the story proper. “It had been snowin’ steady about a week, an’ what I mean it snowed hard, but I couldn’t wait no longer, so against my wife’s advice, I started out for Moose City on my ole plug Badger—ola Badger had few equals ir them days too.” (For that matter he has few equals now—for bony shanks and rundown appearance.) “I rode several hours in that driving snow but it got dark and I hadn’t reached Moose City yet. I knew I had gone far enough, and as my tracks were all filled up so I couldn’t back-track, I was, or as the Indians would say it, Moose City was lost. “I had sense enough not to try to go on so I camped right there, tied ole Badger to somethin’ like a pointed stump which stuck outa the snow and laid down to sleep in the snow myself. It was purty cold alright, but I was dogtired and I didn’t wake up till daylight.” During this last sentence Dad’s voice becomes peculiarly thick and he stops. The bulge in his left cheek disappears, a long thin stream of amber-colored liquid shoots from underneath his drooping mustache, the bulge reappears in his right cheek and he continues. May be you boys kin imagine my surprise when upon waking up, I found myself in a churchyard, a churchyard mind ye, with ole Badger nowhere to be seen. I looked hopelessly around, then heard a neigh from above and on glancing up I saw my faith- ful plug hangin’ onto the church steeple. Now I’ve had bad dreams before and I thought that this was one of them, but I soon found out different—you can disillusion yourselves accordingly. I finally figgered that this is what had happened.” He stops, looks quizically at us, a suggestion of a smile crosses his face and he says, “Hold on, we’ll jest sec if any of you smart younguns kin guess.” Several sarcastic remarks and wise cracks are quickly squelched by Dad, then with all due seriousness I guess, “A freak tornado hit you—is that it?” “No,” Dad says triumphantly, ejecting his tobacco and drawing his sleeve under his mustache. “ ’Twas simply this. I had camped right over Moose City which had been plum’ covered with snow. Durin’ the night had come a chinook wind that melted the snow. Well, as the snow melted, there I was, let down to the ground as purty as you please—regular elevator service—but poor old Badger was left hangin’ to the steeple, to which I had tied him. Seems like one of you could have guessed that.” Sixty six The H assay am t)et ‘‘Yes, Dad, that’s all very logical,” I remark, ‘‘but how did you get Badger down— you didn’t leave him up there, you know.” I think I have Dad stumped. He tugs at his mustache, takes a fresh “chaw,” wrinkles his brow and then, an enlightening grin spreading over his face, he says, “Oh, that was easy. I forgot to tell you about my big umbrella. You see, I had an extra large umbrella, that my wife made me take, tied to the saddle and I had my pistol in my pocket. It didn’t take me very long to put two and two together. I shot the rope that was holdin’ ole Badger and as he started to fall, the umbrella opened like a para- chute and eased him down like a failin’ feather.” That’s just one of the many stories Dad has told us. Some of the others are a little far-fetched though. —TAYLOR HICKS, ’27. The Battle At Judson’s Ranch “Yes Kid, that hill over there is full of lead. I'm not a prospector and I don’t know much about mining, but there’s lead and copper over there an’ it ain’t so very far under the ground. That’s whar ol‘ Lame Pete Judson’s ranch was. Right under that big spruce tree was whar his house set; an’ Sonny, that’s whar they had one of the worst battles that’s been fought since the Almo. What? Oh no, it wasn’t Injuns. It was Mexicans. Well, if ya really want me to I’ll tell ya. I been in the army a long time an’ I aint seen nuthin’ like it since. “It happened late in the summer of ’95. That was just a little after I had joined and got thru bein’ a rookie. The ol’ ranch was pretty close to the border, you see, so they set there out-posts from there. It was the last day of August—naw, I reckon it was the next ta last day, and I was on my first detail. We was under an old top-kick which had seen most of the wars this here army’s ever bsen in. There was twenty-five uf us in the platoon. There hadn’t been a greaser seen about the line fer months, but there was some fightin’ further long, so we was sittin’ pretty. Wal, we’d jest got thru set- tin’ the posts when Corporal Clancy—he’s Captain in the Eighth now—come runnin’ up the road a wavin’ his arms and hollerin’. We tho’t he’d got stung by a wasp, but he hadn’t. It was greasers. A whole pack uf ’em, thicker’n flys in a honey jar. They was a chasin’ him an’ shootin, but when they saw the rest of the platoon they halted but kep’ on shootin’. Wal, the Sarg. was sorta stumped fer a minit, but soon he got his wits and blockaded the gang into the house. He grabbed me as I was hittin’ thru the door and told me to grab a hoss and hit fer the Fort. Maybe you think I didn’t go. I left the house ’cause I was scairt of the Sarg and I hit fer the Fort ’cause I couldn’t have got nowheres else. It’s only six mile frum here but it felt like it took hours to git there. The first three miles I had to spend my time dodgin’ Mex bullits and the last three I had to start stoppin’ my hoss. They sent the hull blumin’ rigimint out an’ kept up the rumpus fer four days. We lost ten good sojers and two offusors, but it took darn near on to three weeks to gather up the greasers what had bit the dust. We used up all our ammunition anl had to throw rocks the last day. An’ if there ain’t a lead mine in that hill someday my name aint Sergeant Major Willard J. Hackenson, late of X Troop First U. S. Volunteers, now of the Headquarters Troop of the Umpty- ninth Cavalry.” — BOB YOUNT ’27. Pnjr« Sixty sown T he H assay a taper Arizona In Arizona are found the two greatest contrasts of the world: the grim, pitiless desert and the grandeur and charm of the mountains. The desert contains some contrasts too, the monotonous wind blown sand-dunes, so much resembling the Sahara, in Southwestern Arizona and the wide, dry cactus and sagebrush studded desert of the central part, now partially transformed by w'ater into productive farms. Over each of these types of desert, a flaming, coppery sun beats mercilessly down out of a steel blue sky in which clouds are seldom seen. But there are times when the desert has a peculiar charm of its own. When the sun has set and the purple shadows of night are veiling the ugliness of the wasteland and when the moon comes up, throwing grotesque shadows from the cactus; when you hear the lonely, mournful howl of a coyote, you begin to think that maybe after all this is God’s own country, protected by Him during the day from an encroaching civilization. In contrast to this desert, is the unequaled grandeur of the mountains in Northern Arizona. During the day the sun gleams forth from a deep, soft, blue sky, flecked with clouds, upon a tumultous region of beautiful stately pines; the shorter, stubbier cedar, the majestic juniper and the grand old oaks. Throughout these forests are found fleet, graceful deer, beautiful wild turkey, slow, lumbering bears, the lithe, tawny mountain lion, while in the rushing, babbling streams, beautiful rainbow trout and the smaller, though more delicious “mountain” variety, may be caught. And at night when the sun has set in a blaze of beautiful colors and soft wind rustles the branches and brings the balmy, resinous scent of illimitable pine forests, one can readily see why so many people love Arizona and the old Hassayampa legend is invariably true. —FEN S. HTLDRETH, JR. ’21). I he Spirit of Solitude When you are out in Nature’s groves Without a thought or care, And all is calm and quietness You know that God is there. Then you feel you have the strength To keep on playing fair, For while you’re out in Nature’s wilds You know that He does care. You hear the plaintive songs of birds That fly on through the air. Then you feel so strong and safe. You know that God is there. The world with all its cares goes on While you gaze in the air At stars that twinkle down at you, And say that God is there. So if you worry, or lose faith With men, because of care, Just go, alone, to Nature’s groves; You’ll find that God is there. —Margaret Swetnam—’28 Page Slxfv-eight The Hassayamfier Of A Monday The time of the action of this essay is seven o’clock on Monday morning, just after the alarm has awakened me with its sweet musical tinkle. I roll out of bed, go through the process of yawning, stretching and dressing, then I run out to the kitchen. I gulp down my breakfast, standing at a narrow side board, with a red hot cook stove about a foot and a half away from me, while drops of perspiration trickle down my vertibrae. By some miraculous happening I manage to get to school by eight o’clock. I rush to the botany laboratory, get my books, and tear up stairs. I am settled by eight- fifteen when the bell rings, and immediately proceed to whisper. Now if you’ve ever overheard a conversation in study hall, you’ll find the drift of the chat going like this: “Gosh, test today in History! How’d you like the party? You bet Mary had on a cute dress! Say I’ve forgotten our English assignment,” and so on for about thirty minutes; then I begin to study. Dear me! Here it is nine-forty-five, and time for American History. With teeth clenched and a deliberate look on my face, I dig my way to the History room. Miss B. has promised us a test. I go through forty-five minutes of torture, then decide the test wasn’t half bad, and expect to make at least seventy-five. English next—Ah! now for a little peace and Quiet. This period is uneventful ex- cept for a few funny essays which have been read, and a few more interesting ones which have been reported on. It is now almost lunch time, and in spite of the fact that I have one more class— Public Speaking—my stomach asserts itself, and do what I may to quiet it, it insists on reminding me that I am to have chicken for lunch, and that I had better hurry right home. So instead of thinking of the memory selection I am to give, my mind wanders to the bill of fare at 140 North Pleasant Street. I manage to stumble through the poem and I realize that at last the hour to which all present day mortals look for- ward has come. INTERMISSION At one o’clock I came sauntering back to school, full of life and pep, which sud- denly fades away when I hear that Mr. P. is going to give us the test he promised us on Friday. I immediately begin to worry about not knowing why, when, or what schizomy cetis are, and whether marchantia belongs to the Bryophytis or is a legum- inosea. By the time class is over I am a total wreck. I now resolve to study hard, go to bed early for the much needed rest. I end the day by going to the show, retiring at ten-thirty, and oversleeping the next morning. —ADDA JANE GIROUX—’28. I’njre Sixty nine The Hassayamfier O ur Attic On A Rainy Day Our attic is very interesting on a rainy day. The patter of the rain, the thick dust, the lacy cobwebs, the dim light, and the slimy green of the walls all lend to the atmosphere of desolation. In a corner lies a jumbled pile of old, forgotten music. By the window sits a dilapidated horse-hair trunk filled with faded gowns, bustles, thread- bare baby shoes and all such nick-nacks which have lost their usefulness. A rickety table with quaint bamboo legs squats under the sloping roof by the eaves. On it are piled tattered school books, heavy ledgers, and yellow-paged novels, mellow with age. A moth-eaten patch-work quilt is nailed over the drafty crack in the wall. On the winlow-seat, reminiscent of some school girl, is a grimy autograph album and a tar- nished chafing-dish. A mournful grandfather’s clock stands under one of the various gables. The pendulum is broken and the hands are gone, but it makes an excellent home for the little gray mice which scurry about. On the old-fashioned onyx and brass what-not repose broken and battered dishes. A musty cross-stitch motto, “God Bless Our Happy Home” hangs over the door. Altogether our attic presents a picture which could well be entitled “Memories.” —MARY JEAN EADS, ’21� . Keeping Time With The Study Hall Years come and years go; arrogant Freshies grow exalted, dignified, merely to become overworked Seniors; teachers trip in, and stagger out; today’s deeds fast fade into pleasing or horrifying memories—through it all our assembly-hall clock continues to erratically measure its allotted space of eternity. ’Tis often that we glance at our clock’s tear stained face; usually we are rewarded even though the old fellow is eccentric. This eccentricity, though—is it any wonder? Many’s the time he sees sights which would no doubt paralyze his good intentions (thank goodness our timepiece is not of the cuckoo family—that he is reserved enough tu merely balk at, instead of to comment on, things—especially since the Freshman ciass has grown so large). So much for what we think of the clock. In all seriousness, now, just what does the clock think of us? We live our own lives—glory in our own achievements. We look with gratification on our deeds which are probably as monotonous to the clock as snow is to the Eskimo. He sees many antics, vainglorious and otherwise—perhaps tabulates the majority as pathetic. At any rate we shall have to leave it to the clock to say whether or not he considers us a tedious crowd of shining examples—a tiresome bunch of self-styled luminaries. Here’s to our toiling, troubled timepiece, may he tick off many more minutes—as many more as have gone before. —FREI) CROMWELL ’27. Page Seventy 7 he H assay uni per I lie Art of Fating Spaghetti We seldom think of eating as an art. We say it is a necessity. Perhaps it isn’t an art to eat cake, but eating spaghetti is an art in which it takes years of practice and perseverance to acquire a minimum of skill. We Americans “get by” with eating our spaghetti but few of us could be called skillful. Some there are who coax the full length slippery piece upon their knives and with a peculiar noise, suck it into their mouths. Others cut it into minute particles and con- sume it with the aid of a spoon. The more skilled use a fork. We should be patient however, for we have modern conveniences with which to eat. VVe should be more skilled than the Chinaman with his chopsticks. Did vou ever watch a Chinaman eat spaghetti with chopsticks?

The green moss had steadily crept up the tree trunks until some were wholly covered with it. The entangling vines that wove the trees together served as a race track for the monkeys as they chased each other thru the tree tops, lhe gayly colored parrots and canaries could be heard screeching from the very tops ot the palms and mahogany trees which were trying to outstretch each other to get to the sunlight. Huge snakes could be seen hanging from the limbs of trees ready to drop upon the smaller animals as they came for water. The air was a humming mass of bright colored bugs and insects. —DORIS BARNES—’30. Sovuiit y ••in The H assay aw per The Most Terrible Scare I Ever Experienced The most terrible scare I ever experienced was about eight years ago when we were visiting relatives in the country. The country had always had a great fascination for me, except on a dark windy night. On such a night I received my scare. I had gone to bed early, and in a room which was separated from the remainder of the house by a hallway. After dozing for a short time, I was suddenly startled by the mournful howl of a dog, baying the moon. Then a huge face appeared in the window. It possessed two immense eyes, and a couple of long slender horns protruding from its head, besides a long tail which flapped continuously against the window pane. My heart leaped! I couldn’t think of anything with horns like it, unless it was Satan him- self. My blood ran cold! A crash sounded over on the other side of the room, and I heard the hooting of an owl. Little shivers chased themselves up and down my back bone. A white thing fluttered over in the corner! My bed began to move up and down! It seemed as if all the forces of evil had gathered against me! I tried to scream—but all power had left me and I remained silent with my mouth wide open instead. Then suddenly the door opened, and to my great relief, Mother entered carrying a lamp. Soon I learned more concerning the situation. An old cow had parked herself right outside of my bedroom window, and was staring into the room, besides continu- ously slapping her tail on the window pane. A vase had been knocked off the table. The wind had blown a white garment across the room, and the pet dog, having been shut up in that room, had scratched his back on the springs of the bed, thus causing it to move up and down. —MARY THOMAS—'29. Their Kitty Died Their kitty died but not from gun; Nor did it eat Some poisoned meat, As other cats have done. Their kitty died but not of years, Nor did it aid In a serenade, That tortured the neighbor’s ears. Their kitty died—yet not like that; But it did make A grave mistake That’s bad for any cat. Their kitty died—my heart is full; But it did fight The other night With my pet English bull. I he Hassayumfiet Can V ou Imagine?

Sad But Nearly True Jimmy O’Doole, ambitious and yearning, Came to our school, desirous of learning. Nor hurried nor worried, knowledge he sought, Text-books he bought, deep thoughts he wrought. (But school was cruel to Jim O’Doole.) His brow became creased with many a care, His gaity ceased, hard work was his share. The strain was too great. Alas! La Paloma! Jimmy expired as he grasped his diploma. (A wiser but a deader man.) Paw? Seventy three The Hassayamfier A Tale With A Lesson 1' ind It “Strike three, you’re out!” the umpire cried In lusty tones of glee; “Right over the pan—my hoy,” he laughed I believe you cannot see.” “Right over the pan it might have been,” The batter madly said; “But just the same I watched it pass Way up above my head.” “With a ten-foot pole and a stepping stone,” He said with flashing eye, “I might have reached the doggone ball— It wasn’t VERY high.” “That’s enough from you,” the umpire said; The mask from his head he flung, “Get off the field and stay away, till you learn To hold your tongue.” “Yes, sir, yes, sir, oh yes indeed,” The batter meekly said; But taking his bat he savagely bent it Over the umpire’s head. The fans then cheered for their hero (the batter) And thusly ends my tale; But the umpire lived; he’s already well; The batter is living in jail. —TAYLOR HICKS ’27.
