THE EMERY WEAL 25 OTC 1 MOTOR CLASS DOINGS When the term commenced the Motor Class had quite a struggle getting organized in their new quar¬ ters, but eventually all went well, and after a month or so all the Motor Classes were well established and classes and shops assumed work as usual. We find the Motor Classes consisted of a very fine group of young men, willing to do their share in school activ¬ ities and sports. Most of the motor students attended all the meetings and were outstanding and co-oper¬ ative in all their doings with the rest of the student body. The Motor Class had a very good hockey team which had a commanding lead in points throughout the hockey season. During the hockey season Motors played Carstairs hockey team and after playing an outstanding game went down to defeat by a score of 3-2, this being their first loss in seven games. They also put on a good performance at their Lit. program. Motor was well represented at the Tech, banquet and had lovely decorations, and their yells proved that the Motor Classes had lots of spunk. When mild weather set in they were the first class to organize a softball team, so it may well be said that the Motor Classes were outstanding at Tech, during 1940-41. DEPARTED SPIRITS By William G. Clennett About three miles from the city of Denver a pretty white bungalow nestles in a grove of pine trees. A narrow path bordered by trim flower beds winds up to the welcoming door. It is a most delightful home. On the night of October 22nd, 19——, the electric light in the study of this house shone down on four men seated around a small table. They were Bill Black, Robert Wilson, Jack Rogers and Kenneth James. Society men all, they feared the scandal that was sure to arise if the conditions of the present situ¬ ation were to reach the long ears of the newspapers. A certain tenseness was apparent in the attitude of the four. One man spoke. “In the bedroom next to us a man lies dead—to all appearances—murdered.” He paused, scanning the white faces around him, then continued: “The window of the room was locked on the inside. No outside person could have entered any other way without being seen by at least one of us. Therefore one of us is the criminal. The problem is— which one? As no one here has any connection with the police, none of us are eligible to take command of investigations. As I have said before, one of us is the criminal. Let us find which one it is and, if pos¬ sible, prove him guilty of the crime.” Mr. Rogers replied in a low, quiet voice, “An ex¬ cellent plan, Mr. Black.” The third member of the group, Mr. Wilson, a fat, pompous oil magnate, declared loudly, “I have a scheme. Let us each take paper and pencil. Then as each of us tells of his actions since 7.00 p.m., when the deceased was last seen, the rest will write it down.” And he beamed with an air of superiority on his com¬ panions. Mr. James rose and strode silently to the desk. He returned with four notebooks and four pencils. “Since you offered the suggestion, will you speak first, Mr. Wilson?” he asked, almost too politely. “Ahem, gentlemen,” began Mr. Wilson in a harsh monotone. “At seven o’clock I retired to the library where I began to read Zane Grey’s novel ‘Wildfire’. I was deeply interested in my book when you called me in here.” “Did you notice what page you were on when we disturbed you?” asked Mr. Black, in a cold, hard voice. “One hundred and ten,” was the bold reply. “What was happening in the story?” asked Rogers, beating a tattoo with nervous fingers. “Lucy had just found Wildfire,” replied Wilson, disdainfully. A visit to the library showed Zane Grey’s famous novel lying open on the table and a glance at the page mentioned provided corroborative evidence that Wil¬ son had spoken truthfully. Silently they returned to their study. “As for my actions,” volunteered Mr. Rogers with haggard face, “immediately after supper I went for a walk in the woods and returned just as the body was discovered. I saw no one.” “And for proof?” murmured Mr. Black. “On my stroll I idly carved on a piece of wood. As it was green poplar, you may find strips of green bark on the path. Come, I will show you.” And with shaking hand he mopped the sweat off his troubled brow. The four again rose and left the room, Mr. Rogers leading. An occasional sliver of bark on the garden path testified that Rogers was no more guilty than Wilson. “Well that eliminates you,” said Mr. Black with a cynical smile. Seated once more in the study, after an appre¬ hensive glance at the door of the death room, Kenneth James stated, looking across at Rogers, “You and Mr. Wilson appear to have cast iron alibis, but as for Black and myself, our word of honour is all we can give. We were seated here playing chess—the board and men are still here—and Mr. Black declared that Continued on Page 44.
