Good-bye, I call, You'll sweep up my foot tracks no more. And good old joe gives his kindly smile As I step a last time through the door. But I pause as I cross the portal now, Of our old eleventh grade roomy The happy faces all are gone, But mem'ries before me loom. H 1- 4.. I like the memory of the mornings best, Mr. Moore at his desk, you know, As he reads God's Word and offers prayer, Then a choice little verse or so. It is as they are at the start of the day With yesterday's trials behind, And the sun shining down on a clean new morn With its joys and struggles to find, H J That I see their strength and their weakness too, To fight life's battle of strife, For the happy old high school days are gone, We must start the race of life. And it's not as we think in our golden youth- just a brilliant dash to the goal,- It's a long, hard track with roughs and steepsg But the prize brings joy to the soul. 4 There's a different prize for every man,- Miss Miller has taught us that. In the names that glow upon history's page From the humblest to monarchs who sat Upon their thrones in resplendent array, THE BLACK AND GOLD They all have striven to clasp At the end of the race the true rewardg But oft 'tvvas beyond their grasp. 5 For the boon of the soul is the finer things That are neither bought nor sold. With a single aim we must strive for them As Eneas in the tale of old. With the patient aid of Miss Wood vve've gained The Worth of the story he told, And a victory of mental and moral force That to strive at hard tasks will mould. 6 But the small tasks of life will confront us, too, And these are the ones that count. There's many a man, his eyes on a star, Neglects problems of small amountg And thus he never reaches his goal, For each is a stepping stone. So Miss Hunter carefully taught the girls The art of making a home. 7 The commercial students have prepared To conduct the business phase Of the Work of the World. For each, there's a part In the masterful scheme, and Ways To utilize all the bravvn and brain By each of us possessed. So Miss Dodson and Miss James have tried To help them do their best. 8 For the best is requiredg the s.rong will rule In the struggles we each must meetg And our minds must be trained to keep pace with the years To make our worth replete. And, ah, as again remembrance brings The good old days to mind, THE BLACK AND GOLD How far toward this end did Miss Mary strive Though We thought it a daily grind. 9 I remember all the original ways She thought up to relieve the strain, And the double worth in work and thought From her period We would gain. All our teachers did their best to make us strong, And Worthy may we beg For in each of our hearts for them shall live A thankful and dear memory. 10 But my High School days are over now, And I softly close the doorg Should I breathe a prayer as I leave this spot It would be, that forevermore Throughout our lives in Work or play, Our standard would always be That, only the best is good enough , In this land of the brave and free.

This Was the Class of l9l6, and as vve look back on those first days that We spent in school We cannot help but smile. But even then no one doubted that our class would be a success. The very click of our little heels as vve marched through the halls with heads high and chests raised seemed to express determination. g Soon each small hand tightly clasped its first real school book, and a look of proud ownership covered each beaming face. Then came the good times at recess. Such feats as jump-the- rope, stealing-sticks, hop-scotch, and crack-the-Whip were a part of our daily schedule. It was usually with a feeling of regret that We heard ','rise, one, tvvo, three , Which meant you may go now, and We lookedfforvvard with eagerness to the day when We, too, should have second recesses. T :How quickly the time passed! Before We could hardly realize it, our little ThirdfReader had been left far behind, and We Were joyjully entering Grammar School. Here, for the first year or so, our feet wandered only through paths of pleasuren, but soon the novelty began to Wear off, and then vve noticed that our Way Was rough and difficult. At the sight of long division and geography and history our spirits sank, and our steps grevv slovv and uneven. Yet in spite of all our failures, We pushed steadily onvvard, and soon We found our- selves ready to enter High School, 26 THE BLACK AND GOLD Think of it! For years we had studied with this one ideal in our minds, to enter High School, and now that we really were to become students there, our joy was complete. Up to this time we had been considered children, just pupils, now we thought ourselves pupils no longer but students. Imagine our surprise, then, when we found our teachers did not agree with usg worse still, they plainly told us that we had not yet put away childish things. During our first and second years, it is true that we some- times had to work pretty hard, but these thoughts of hard work are immediately swept out of our minds by the recollection of the many happy times we spent at class picnics, straw-rides, and parties. How we eighth and ninth grades did enjoy them! Our Junior year was not all happiness, however, for we were forced to buckle down and work as we had never worked before. Sometimes it seemed to us that we would never be able to master the perplexing problems of plane goemetry, but most of us man- aged in some way to reach the seventy-fifth notch, and then, again, joy reigned. The Hrst thing that we, as Seniors, did was to assume a very dignified air, and proceed to frown upon all misconduct by the lower classmen. Then, when we had become perfected in the art, more serious things were earnestly undertaken. The event that stands out most prominently in our minds is the adoption of Student Government. We are the second class in the history of our school to have attempted this form of gov- ernment, and we feel very proud of the fact. In the Commercial Department the members of our class who have taken this course have all done unusually well, and some of our number have won fame by their rapid typewriting. These are Gordon Ambler, Banks Newman, Alma Lackey and Lurline Wills. We who are not so proficient wish to congratulate them on their success. But our ability has not only been recognized in our school but the outside world has heard of some of us. Luella Cochran THE BLACK AND GOLD 27 has had several of her poems printed in a number of newspapers both in North and South Carolina, and Gordon Ambler's articles have won for him much praise, as well as financial reward. To athletics our class has contributed a number of good men this year, having four representatives on the football squad, two on the basketball team, and three on the baseball team. Although we did not again win the State Championship in basketball, our team made an enviable record, losing only one game, and that by a single point. But we must not fail to mention the many social affairs that we have enjoyed so much since the first of the year. A number of athletic and debating teams have been entertained from time to time, and all of our entertainments have been voted a great suc- cess. And now as we are about to pass out from our High School forever, the feeling comes to us that only by continually striving to live up to the ideals that have been set before us can we repay our school for the many happy and inspiring days we have been permitted to spend here. lVIay we not fail to meet this obligation! N ELL HoRToN. I-: WSI :A . x ' 5:5 A!-:ia . 4 iii. uusnliier ssi : ,Q. ?:E?i,.-7: , - EQ? , 28 THE BLJCK AND GOLD En Hirtnrg T was the night before Commencement. My mind I was filled with joyful anticipation of the morrow and yet mingled with the joy was sadness, for the i i ties of years were to be severed, our class, bound by common interests, was to be broken, our loyal band was to send its boys and girls out into the world, into the world as individuals with individuals' work to do. Woiild the coming years fulfil the bright promises of the present? As if in answer to my question, Inspiration softly touched me. I should like , she said, for you to go to the Land of Ideals. Imagination shall be your guide and Hope and Joy your companions by the way. And so saying, she called Imagination, and quicker than thought spread before me the fair Land of Ideals. In the heart of the Land was the Fountain of Purity, its waters flowing deep under ground, making all about it sweet and fresh, and hard by the Fountain stood the Temple of Endeavor with its altar of Faith, its walls lined with Courage, Fidelity and Perseverance kept the Temple of Endeavor and they seemed to diffuse an atmosphere of their own about the place. Yes, whispered Inspiration, anticipating my thought, only those who take Fidelity and Perseverance as their companions really succeed in the Land of Ideals. Tell this to your class- mates and friends as you meet with them on the morrow. And tell them also, she added as stern-faced Duty greeted us, that only he who makes friends with Duty earns a place in the House of Success. just then Duty beckoned to us to follow her. But Imagina- tion had other sights for us to view before she left us. Into a quiet, sequestered vale she led us where lVIodesty, fearing lest loud-sounding Praise make her known to the world, was in hid- THE BLACK AND GOLD 29 ing, then on through a by-path she brought us into a barren, wasted land, strewn with fragments of building materials, broken and defaced. The Plain of Failure, said Imagination. 'Tis here in this suburb of Ideals, that many, losing sight of lofty aims, waver in their purpose, and so, swerving from the path Ambition would have them follow, waste their lives in fruitless endeavor. Un every side you see signs of greatness, but alas, greatness accom- plishing nothingg for without steady Purpose, Determination and Stick-to-it-ness no one can accomplish Life's tasks. And just over the way lies Successf' I murmured, for through the wavering tree tops I could detect the shining turrets of the House of Success. Just over the way, repeated Imagination, but separated by a deep ravine -and so saying she brought me through a rugged path into-not a clear, beautiful country as I had always thought Success to be in-but into a hard, forbidding land. Can this be the end of our quest? I cried. Is this the House of Success? And I pointed to the unadorned, rather insignihcant structure standing before me. Yes,,' answered Imagination, but see, the House of Suc- cess is built on the foundation stones of Hard-work, put together with Thoroughness and Determination, and see, though the out- look is poor, how bright is the uplook- and she pointed to the dazzling radiance above the turret-tops. Just then the portal of the house Hew open and Patience, with her ponderous keys, stood ready to unlock for us the shining treasures within. But Experience, grave with the weight of years, gently thrust her aside. Not yet, she said, not yet-may a representative of the Class of 1916 enter the House of Success. Go back to your classmates, she turned to me, and say to them that some of them will go into the world as lawyers, doctors, busy workers, others will remain in the quiet circle of the home, but no matter what their work, no matter what their sphere of influence, 30 THE BLACK AND GOLD lessons of purity, truth, perseverance, determination, unswerving obedience to duty must be heeded if they would crown their labors with successf' The vision faded. But clear in my mind remains the lesson it brought, and gladly did I share it with my classmates. MADGE S1LLs. Smnzet lflanh Did you ever hear of a wonderful land just beyond the sunset glow, Full of birds that warble throughout the year And Howers wherever you go? The land is there if we only could reach The signboard that points 'the way, And the path that leads to the open gate Is for only the joyous and gay. 'Long the path grows the dew-sprinkled Violet and rose, It's but wide enough for two, And the luscious berries that sparkle near by Would be food for me and you. There is music there and the melodies Are tuned to the Maker's ear By the bubbling brook as it gurgles along And the breeze singing far and near. And through the gate stretches far away That beautiful sunset land. There'll be merry, laughing children there, And lovers strolling hand in hand. So please go with me to the little path Near hidden in its winding way, And together let's find the gate and the joy Of our Sunset Land, today. LUELLA COCHRAN. THE BLACK AND GOLD 31 Quin EI ilivllnm EH P215 W Y, HEN I entered High School, highest ideal was I to graduate as soon as I possibly could. In the ninth grade I envied the graduate more than ever Tis,?gj before. In the tenth I laid my plans as to how I was going to act when I graduated, whom I was going to send invitations to, what my graduating essay was going to be on, how many medals and honors I was going to carry off, and above all how proud I was going to make my parents when they heard me delivering my declamation which was to win the silver loving-cup. All this rushed to my head when I was a Junior. Ah! how mistaken I wasl Vacation came. I worked at the store and prayed for the time to fly faster that I might become a Senior and graduate-above all, graduate. It seemed that time just would not hurry, it in- sisted on lagging and making me wish all the harder. At last, with a cry of delight, I tore the August sheet off the calendar and welcomed September lst, the day I was to be- come a Senior-but now all my desires to graduate were gone. None of the happy thoughts which had greeted me when I thought of the wonder of being a Senior and graduating occurred to me. A feeling of despair came over me, something like sorrow, some- thing like-ohl I don't know how I felt, but if you have ever been to see a sick friend who you know cannot live very long and that that is the last time you will see him, you know something of my sensations as I came back to the dear old High School for the last year. For weeks this was the uppermost thought in my mind, medals, honors, scholarships, everything that I had planned was forgotten. A feeling of depression had taken possession of me. But at last I began to brighten up, there was college to plan for, the chance of another four years with my books. And so the days have passed, the time draws near when the end shall crown my labors. As I have not yet graduated I can- not tell how I shall feel on that important occasion, but one thing I am sure of, the memories of graduation day will live in my heart forever. H. BANKS Niawxrax. 3.2 THE BLACK AND GOLD 0112155 igrnphvrg Io til l T was in the Fall of the year 1940. I was traveling through the country selling books,-yes, I was just il a book-agent, if you please,-when, by strange cir- Q cumstances, I was drawn back to Winston-Salem, the scene of my girlhood, the happiest part of my life. How strange I felt as the old, and yet wonderfully new, town loomed up before mel Wliat conflicting emotions surged over me as I reached for my grip, adjusted my prim little bonnet, and hurried forth from the over-heated car! A waiting electric 'bus took me, not to one of the great sky- scraper-hotels for which the new Winston-Salemf was famous, but to a modest little hostelry that suited better my slim purse. I had hardly gotten settled in my comfortable little quarters when a timid knock interrupted me. Giving a last friendly pat to my bonnet before putting it away, I cried, Come in. In answer, the door was pushed slightly ajar and a little old lady, fat as a butter-ball, walked, or rather waddled, in. Excuse me, she said, but I am the housekeeper of this place and I just wanted to make sure you were comfortable. Why-', suddenly she started- aren't you one of the W.-S. H. Sfs Class of 'l6?-Bessie Ambler that was? o 4 I Bessie Ambler that was and always will be, I answeredra trifie shortly, for the one affair of my girlhood had been rudely broken. HVVell, well! she cried, eagerly seizing me by the hand, to think of Bessie Ambler turning out to be such a sedate, proper little old maidll' She laughed till the tears rained down her cheeks. f'Now, my dear, you must just let me sit down and have a good, old-timy gossip with you. As the one chair in the room was filled with my dusty travel- ing garments I perforce had to let her sit on the edge of the bed, THE BLACK AND GOLD 33 though the springs fairly swagged as she seated her ample frame by my side. Now, you donlt know who I am, do you ? she began fairly breathless. l'll give you three guesses, for I've changed my name three times since I saw you last. In vain I conjured my brain for some hint as to who she could be. I give it up, I said at last. '4Do you remember a tall, slender, quiet girl who sat just across the aisle from you in the eleventh grade ? Can you be Helen Fletcher? I cried, for a demure little wink suddenly brought back the Helen I knew. Helen Fletcher that was, she repeated my words, Helen Fletcher that is and always will be, for, after making three ven- tures into matrimony, I have decided that single felicity is most desirable after all and have taken back my maiden name. Indeed, I murmured. Yes, she replied, and there's another of our classmates who is about to do the same,-Ula Shore, do you remember her ? Q Whjf, surely Cla Shore is not div- I caught myself just in time. Ola was a commercial student, l remember, and so quiet- It's the quiet kind that always give you the surprise. Cla gotta position in New York as a stenographer, became so carried away with city life that she married the manager of a vaude- ville show, and, notwithstanding her husband's protests, took train- ing as a ballet dancer. Will wonders never cease? I cried. Do you know any- thing about the other Seniors of l9l6?,' , Yes, indeed, she answered. Madam de Lacke CAlma Lackeyj is quite a noted chiropodist and Blanche Ziglar is making a name as the leader of the Woman's Rights Movement in our city. Ruth Craver sings at one of our new 'movies' and will really be a 'Prima Donna' soon at the rate she is going. And Norwood Wilson, our class president and member of our student 34 THE BLACK AND GOLD council, gained such valuable experience in managing us that he has organized a company for the purpose of promulgating the doc- trine of student government in all high schools, and employs all of Harrel Speers' time distributing literature on the subject. Here Helen paused for breath. 'KHenry Stanley, she continued, you remember Henry? VVell, he is a high official in the New Zealand-Australian Air Line Railroad. You see he has gone far from us. Luella Cochran long ago decided there was more money in publishing poetry than inavvriting it, and novv carries on a large printing establishment with Lurline Willis as her business manager. She Was, as you remember, a Hrm believer in young Women and their place in the World, and, carrying out this doctrine, she has employed Ruby Davis as her proof-reader and Mattie Wilson as her advertising agent. Oh my, she concluded dismally, there is somebody call- ing. I must go down. She deserted me quicker than she came in and I Was left to my ovvn thoughts for a While. r,, , H6 916 HG The next day I entered upon my usual routine of Work,-that of going from house to house, trying to interest the inhabitants thereof in the merits of Modern Housekeeping. Going through a short cut to the residential part of the city, my eye was struck by a sign on one of the store Windows, Hair-Dressing Free. Welcome All. Being of a curious nature, I sauntered into the store. A motto in gilt letters hung right over my head which read Be original at all costs. Huh, that sounds like Madge Sills 'Way back there in the old school daysf' I said aloud. A little lady, busily coiling a vvoman's tresses into fantastic loops and rolls, furiously blushed as I read the sign. Did you call me ? she asked. No, I replied. I was merely reading this motto above me. It reminded me of a schoolmate of mine,-Madge Sills. Madge Sills,-Why that's my name, she cried, or at least THE BLACK AND GOLD 35 it used to be. And so it turned out. Here was Madge, our dreamer, -our idealist, Wasting her time and talent in a Hair- Dressing Establishment. She left the lady, upon Whom she was inflicting unmerciful pulls in her quest for originality, and talked to me for a While. Ellen Shepherd, she told me, is my partner here. She gives lessons to those who Wish to reduce their Weight. She has her office in the next room, but is out at present. But I knovv she'll be sorry she missed you, Bess. ' Well, I'11 come again, I rejoined, and so I took my de- parture. we exe as The first house I entered on my round of duties Was a large, roomy affair full of freslz air. As the day was unusually cold it seemed strange that so many windows should be open. I fairly shivered as I Was shown into the sitting-room and told that Mrs. --i- CI did not catch the namej would be down in a moment. Soon I heard a gentle svvish of silk and, looking up, I beheld a tall, rather stout, middle-aged lady with beautiful golden hair and a benevolent smile on her placid countenance. Good morning, she remarked hospitably as she stretched out a soft White hand which I immediately took possession of. With such a good start it was no time until We were deeply immersed in the qualities of my book. Well, Miss 1-- she said in conclusion. Ambler, I supplied graciously. Well, I believe I'l1 take a copy.-Miss Ambler,-Ambler, she mused. What is your first name, may I ask ? Anything from 'Elizabeth' down to 'Bessf I replied. My goodnessl'7-and she fairly jumped out of her seat,- I believe I Went to school With you! Before I married, with a becoming blush, I Was Rosalie Wilson. Why, of course. I might have knovvnf' came from my surprised lips,-Hgolden hair and such a lover of fresh air. Why, certainly 1 36 THE BLJCK AND GOLD V What fun it was to meet another of the old Seniors! With what eager expectation did I ask, VVhat do you know about the others ? HI guess I know a good deal, for 'lVIissie,'-Cyou remember IWary Pollard!-lives with me and my husband. You know she and I never could be separated and so, when her husband died, she came to stay with us and we couldn't get on without her.-'Missie,' I say, is a great newspaper reader and keeps me supplied with all the latest. She was just reading last night in the new Scientific, which, by the way, Edwin Nash is editor of, that Carl Long had invented a wonderful electrical essay-writer and that Professor Clement Hanes, of Centerville Female Acad- emy, was using it with great success in his work as teacher of punctuation in that institution. Jacquelin Taylor, I understand from IVIissie's news-gatheringf' she continued, Hhas been last heard of in Marmalula, Africa. I-Ie got mad at Joseph Cook for marrying his girl and went off in a Ht of rage to be a mis- sionary to the Hottentots. Let me see, she continued, for Rosalie always loved to talk, who else were Seniors? Oh, yes! Nell, Frances, and Thelma. Well, Nell is only a Hrst-class old maid with a green parrot and all the other paraphernalia! Imagine Nell, of all our classmates, turning out so. Thelma is librarian at our Carnegie Library now, and she actually looks large perched up on the stool at her desk. Think of it! 'Dink' Medearis is a social reformer right here in our city. She's a wonder! The other 'Frances' in our class,-'Frit,' you know,-is a Red Cross nurse and goes crazy over every good-looking soldier! 'Twas ever thus, quoth I. As Rosalie paused for breath I asked about Lena Hanes. Oh, Lena lives in New York and is getting rich quick from her talent as a designer of fashions. She makes an annual trip to Paris and receives her inspiration over there. lVIaude Long, I remarked, is a schoolmarm, I suppose, in some quiet country town. Why, havenlt you heard about Maude ? said Rosalie. THE BLACK AND GOLD 37 Her graduation essay, you remember, was on prison reforms, and she became so infatuated in the subject that she adopted as her life-work the teaching of tatting to the women inmates of our State penitentiary. Imagine quiet, dainty Maude teaching in a jail. And Nolie Parrish, she continued, 'cis stumping the country for Lieutenant-Governor against Luther Lashmit. Oh, yes, she laughed in answer to my look of surprise, the women are coming to the front in this good old State! Nanna Johnson is County Superintendent of Schools and, as I told you before, Frances Medearis has an important municipal office. Luther has entered politics, you say? 'fYes, Rosalie answered. If he doesn't get the position of Lieutenant-Governor over Nolie, he will enter the race for Mar- ket Inspector. And Joseph Cook ? Why, Joseph has gone into the insurance business and rumor has it that he is getting rich insuring even the weather. But you haven't told me anything about yourself or Gordon. 'fOh, Gordon divides his times between speechifying and scribbling, I replied, ignoring her question as to myself. He keeps his private secretary, Banks Newman, exceedingly busy. Just then the doorbell rang and the servant ushered in a portly, ministerial looking, bald-headed gentleman. My pastor, murmured Rosalie, and rising to greet him, she said pleasantly, Dr. Nissen, let me introduce you to an old acquaintancef' and, as the startled look came on the man's face, I saw he was no other than Tycho Nissen,-old Tycho we used to enjoy teasing. What a time we three had talking about old days, and, when later lVIissie joined us, we felt as if the years had rolled back and we were again Seniors in dear old W-S H-S! With a sigh, I. at last tore myself away from the pleasant group and resumed my ardent task of selling books! BESSIE AMBLER. 38 ' THE BLJCK AND GOLD S2112 nf Swninr 'igvlnngingz H9 bids?

Why, certainly, Miss Willis, you can carry paint in it if you do not desire the comb and brush. Too small, you say? How much am I offered for it? What? Only six cents, Miss Johnson?

In the first reel we see Miss Nolie Parrish, driven to the top of the table by a fat mouse. By the expression on her face we see she is yelling. In reel number two the hero, Edwin Nash, has heard Miss Parrish's yell and is coming to her assistance as fast as possible. He rushes into the room, makes a grab for the fat mouse, chases him around the room. Finally, in reel three, we see Mr. Nash drawing his sword, plunging it into the heart of the cruel mouse, then with a smile of heavenly bliss assisting Miss Parrish ....... from the table, and proudly leading her from the room.

It will be a long time before you will get another chance at -any of Mr. Stanley's poems as the first edition has been given away. How much am I offered? Did you say ten cents,qiMiss Fletcher? Thank you. Folks, these poems are worth twelve cents of anybody's money. Come on, start the old ball rolling. Who will give me fifteen cents? I am offered eleven cents, who will make it twelve? Classmates, this is a shame, poems by one of your number and you not willing to buy them. Going, going, gone, thank you, tMiss Adams, eleven cents is better than nothing. I Behold this wonderful invention, people. This article is a microscope, so strong that you can actually see the ham in the sandwiches sold by the Domestic Science Department of the High School. This wonderful instrument was invented by Miss Maude Long, and used by Miss Nell Horton, to see that no ham large enough to make a sandwich is left in the refrigerator. This often happened before the discovery of this powerful glass. IVIisses Bessie Ambler, Rosalie Wilson, Madge Sills, who have charge of the noble work, have told me to announce that, as complaints about the scarcity of ham in the sandwiches have become so numerous, beginning Monday morning, a microscope will be given with each sandwich, so that the ham may be plainly visible. Those wishing an instrument may obtain one there. This next little volume, a treatise on the Art of Misspellinvg, by our classmates Tycho Nissen and Norwood Vx7ilson,' is the last thing I have for sale. How much am I offered? , Fifteen cents.

L NN EL- Lin xl v Rl ll All 5111, ,K lu i ! THE BLA CK AND GOLD 43 Uhr Hrllnm Svtrrak GAIN the Referee's whistle blew and the blue-coated MA Qxl team of Drexal High School trotted defiantly out I ,cj me .9-,:, X .E 135, J .--- i ic 1' F team of Swannanoa and decide in the last quarter into the center of the gridiron to meet the Crimson which would carry the victory home. The first three quarters of the game had resulted in a score in favor of the Blues, and well they knew that if they could only keep their opponents from scoring in the last quarter or score above them themselves, the happy news of success could be flashed back to Drexal that night. The Home Team had fought valiantly but had slowly been pressed back on their goal, due to the superior weight of their opponents, and as the whistle blew for the last quarter none knew better than they what it would take to claim the victory for them- selves. So it was a determined setiof crimson-coated warriors that took their positions opposite Drexal's eleven. A better place for such a game could not have been found. The populace of Swannanoa had come out to witness the last football game of the season in tens and in scores. They had motored outg trollied out, hoboed outg and those who could find no conveyance whatsoever had walked out until the grandstands groaned beneath their weight. Many could not find seats and in spite of protest they soon packed the side-lines in cheering, yell- ing masses-but the Home Team was losing the game. While all eyes were focussed on the two teams as they took their positions, none saw or noticed the look of despair which rested continually like a cloud on the face of John' Wesley, a sturdy substitute who gazed with tear-dimmed eyes on the de- parting forms of his fellows. This was the last quarter and he was not to be allowed to play. Had the Coach forgotten him or did he really think him yellow as he had been informed he did? 'Twas true in the last game he had failed to tackle a man 44 THE BLACK AND GOLD when he had been the only barrier between him and their goal and they had lost the game as a consequence, but he had tried and failed, and what more could he have done? If his ankle had not been half-sprained he might have gotten him anyway, but none thought that but himself. He realized fully as the last quarter began that the Coach and the team as a whole thought he had shown the yellow streak, as they called it, and they wanted no cowards on the team. This was the last chance he would have to get a monogram this year and unless he could play in this game it would be a hopeless dream. In a frenzy of excited anguish he paced the side-lines, while in the center of the field a gigantic battle for supremacy was being waged. af exe H9 Writhing, falling, fighting, every inch was being contested, but slowly with the precision of fate the Blues were advancing until the Home Team's goal was now in close proximity. With the regularity of clock-work the men sprang into their places. Smash! Bang! Crash! A cloud of dust cleared away to find Drexal's line a few feet further on their way, while the Reds, half-crying demons, retreated reluctantly in the distance. Only ten more minutes and the game would he over. Was it possible for the Reds to score? Smash! Bang! Smash! A linesman was out and a substitute took his place. Flesh and blood could not stand it. Again the lines met, and this time the full-back was carried off the field raving like a maniac. With quickening pulse Wesley watched the proceedings. The position of full-back was the place he had played for, and he saw the accident with half joy, half sorrow. Would the Coach now let him play? Out on the held was being held a hurried consultation. We will have to let Wesley play now, said Woods, the THE BLACK AND GOLD 45 big captain of the team, for he is the only sub. that played for full-back in the practice games. 4'Yes, he is the only one who knows the signals, agreed an- other, but I hope he don't show his yellow streak this time. Then the Coach called him. With a wild bound of exulta- tion he hurried off his outer sweater, and hurling it to the ground he sprang out onto the gridiron. Some of his friends cheered him, but the greater mass remained silent. Do your best now, yelled the Coach after him. With grim determination, he took his place and once more the game began. Qnly five more minutes to play, and still the Blues had the ball. But Swannanoa was desperate now and the line held firmer, like waves on a rocky beach they beat upon them. Suddenly someone fumbled the ball and it shot out from the whirling mass like something possessed of life. Wesley saw his chance. With a desperate dash he made for it. Another had done the same but Wesley was backed by more than a mere de- sire to get the ball, and as he came in contact with his opponent, he sent him heavily to the ground, while he himself covered the ball. Swannanoa had a chance after all. With shrieks and screams and yells, the onlookers cheered him for his feat, and the Coach rubbed his hands in satisfaction. Small though the act was, it had restored confidence in the team and they formed their line with a quicker jump. The ball was snapped and passed to a half-back, and around left end he went. It was a trick play and the Blues were thrown off their guard. Un, on, towards the enemies' goal he sped with a racing mob at his heels. But though Wesley was swift, the opposing full-back was swifter, and just as he got within five yards of the goal he tackled him, he had saved the day for the Drexal faction, they sprang to their feet in wild applause. Qnly three minutes now and five yards to go. In suppressed excitement the crowd watched the crouching lines. With a heavy thud they came together once more. The ball was passed back ,zo THE BLACK AND GOLD to VVesley, and with eyes bloodshot and jaw bleeding, he dashed toward the seeming vortex. It was a center rush and the contact was terrific. The very earth seemed to shake as the two lines met. For a moment all was confusion. No one knew where the ball was. The down was made just as the Referee's whistle pro- claimed that the game was over. Quickly the men picked themselves up from the pile which covered the ball, all anxious to see just how close the Reds had come to winning after all. The Referee dashing up began hurrying them to their feet, and a glimpse of the ball was seen. Then Swannonoa broke loose. Yell after yell rent the heavens, for fully two feet across the Drexal goal lay a Crimson figure, the unconscious form of Wesley with the ball clasped tightly between his bleeding arms. He had struck the line like a battering ram and at the cost of great phys- ical pain had saved the game for his school. Loving friends hurried to his side, and as he came to in the arms of the Coach who had picked him up, he asked painfully, Have I done better this time? Yes,', answered the Coach smiling, you have done well and the only yellow you shall have about you this year shall be your High School monogram. GORDON AMBLER. TW s , g X -Igg- I M ' ill 5 WE . .

His famous quo- tations, beautiful passages in his dramas, and his gracefully-worded sentences, all tend towards the greater development of our minds. But the moral side of our characters receives an equally great stimulus. Shakespeare shows us the Heternal fitness of thingsi' in life and gives us a broader outlook on humanity. XVith his unques- tionable genius he shows us, in Shylock, a merciless Jew. And yet, before he casts that character aside, he makes us sympathize with the blood-thirsty old fellow in spite of all his crimes and misdemeanors. He shows us the Mother siden of every question. He makes us love his heroes and heroines and sympathize with those in the meaner walks of life. VVe are not ashamed of the tears that inevitably come to our eyes when we read the mourn- ful passages of his great tragedies. ln 'flliidsummer Night's 48 THE BLACK ,JND GOLD Dream we laugh with Puck, and in Romeo and Juliet we cry at the fate of the unhappy lovers. We appreciate fully Shakespeare's genius as an author, and we do not fail to recognize his ability to play on our heart-strings. A. Qur community has taken a great part SHAKESPEAREAN in the world-wide celebration of the TERCENTENARY Shakespearean Tercentenary. The ef- forts that have been put forth by the schools, drama society, literary clubs and music clubs have been more than successfulg and we should feel proud of the work they have done. The keen interest that has been manifested is of signal importance to us. For it has shown that our city is as wide awake intellectually as it is industrially. Business affairs have by no means smothered intellectual activities. But there is yet a greater significance to the celebration. For we are reminded that the great Elizabethan poet and playwright still lives in the hearts of the English-speaking people. We see that after three hundred years his influence is flowing in an ever-diverging stream through the literary world-the world which today is responding to that influence in the commemoration of the three-hundredth anniver- sary of his death. We are well aware that monuments of the usual kind are not lacking to Shakespeare, yet he needs them less, perhaps, than any celebrity in historyg his works are monuments that have brought him imperishable fame.

Of course it's not true, but just the same it's a good one to tell on Clement Hanes. It happened when he was operated on a few weeks ago.

Never, even in case of being one minute late to a recita- tion, enter school by the front door. But run around to the side entrance and, after cleaning your feet, come in quietly and tip-toe to your room. 2. Above all things do not promenade through the halls. When you become a Junior you may do this, if no Seniors are around. 3. Form your line quickly and quietly on the playground. Keep perfect step in marching up to your room, and be sure to re- move all chewing gum before entering the building. 4. Always address the upper classmen in a respectful man- ner, and ask them no silly questions. 5.
