THE DOME PageFwe Another Sweeping Victory for saac Pitman Shorthand ' Result of the Contest for the Shorthand V- 1 f Champzonshm rf the W orfa' NATHAN BEHRIN Held at New London, Conn. Champion Shorthand A Wlriter of the Vllorld U-gust 24, I 922 The results of the three tests for the championship are as follows: D Speed 200 Position Name System No. of WO1'dS Errors Net First John F.

Daly Isaac Pitman 13 1092 Nathan Behrin, an Isaac Pitman Shorthand writer, who has not taken part in these contests since 1914, and without previous jJ1'617LIl'l1ll'07L, easily won the championship, smash- ing all previous records. Behrin made a total of only 19 errors in the three tests for the title at 200, 240, anal 280 words a nzinfate, making an average accuracy percentage of 99.5 in a total of 3,610 words. Mr. Behrin attributes his wonderful achievement to the remarkable simplicity of ISAAC PITMAN SI-IURTHAND The following pertinent facts prove conclusively that Isaac Pitman Shorthand is the SIMQPLEST, the most LEGIBLE, and the SIVIFTEST, and is the system that should be studied by all prospective shorthand writers. ' Nathan Behrin entered the contest at the last moment, after six weeks' vacation from his court work, during which he received no practice. He finished transcribing his notes o-ver an hour and hfteen minutes sooner than any other competitor. He took less than half thetime allowed to transcribe the three tests for the title. Messrs. Behrin, Daly, and Powsner needed no intensive training, and they all ascribe their success to the simplicity and practicability of Isaac Pitman Shorthand. Cut of seventeen contests fifteen have been won by Pitman writers. P't a Shorthand is easily learned because it possesses a rational alphabet basis and a 1 man s rational scheme of abbreviating devices determined by the phonetic structure of the English language, These salient features eliminate the burden and confusion of memorizing arbitrary and illogical rules together with untold numbers of special abbreviations, as in Light line systems, where before half the theory has been mastered it is necessary to memorize hundreds upon hundreds of word signs. 93 per cent. of the New York clay and evening high schools teach the Isaac Pitman system of t l Ld el and jiftf public, shorthand. You can learn Isaac Pitman Shorthand in some wo zur r 1, ' 3 private, and parochial schools in New York City or rn any public school iaherc twenty or more ji-upils ask for it.

PROCTOR Pete MAN' you think he was a wonderful dog? Guess you never heard of Jim Trotter's dog 'Pete,' an, what he did for Jim the night of that blisterin' blizzard three-no, four years ago. Never have, eh? Well, you,ll hear it sometime, an, it might's well be now, 'cause it was me as went out after Jim when 'Petel came a-tearin' an, a- scratchin'-but thatls all in the storyf, There was a scraping of chairs about the stove as the men stationed themselves closer to the fire, for it was a cold night? the cold- est that the up-country had experienced for years, and it was blowing a gale besides. There was a scratching of matches as pipes were re-lit. Only one man remained un- moved. He merely licked his lips and wait- ed for the others to settle themselves. Then he began. This Jim Trotter and me had been to- gether ever since he came up from the States, a matter of some ten years now. I was a little older than him, but that only made him seem like a kid brother to me. VVe'd always be together: eat together, sleep together, and many times fight to- gether, not always against others, either- but that's a part of bein' pals. VVeld just had one of our scraps, about whether to take stakin' pegs with us or not on our trip up to Jackson in the gold rush. A rather petty thing, you say. Yes, and we paid prettily for it. VVe both got hot under the collar, what with arguin' back an, forth an, such, so finally he said as how he'd go it alone. I told him to go ahead an' be - to him. 'KI-Ie packed up his sled and left with his team, 'Pete' in the lead. lt was a night like this, bitter cold, the wind a-blowin' ht to kill, an' snowin' likeiblue blazes. When Jim left it was snowinl hard, but not a penny's worth to what it was doin' a couple of hours later. I was sittin' right where l'm sittin' now. That's why l didn't move a while Page Eight T I-I E D O M E back. Seems as though that night's bein' lived over again this night, an' I thought I could tell the story better. There was a pause, and the story-teller smoked thoughtfully for a few seconds. The dozen men that had started out after Jim left all staggered back, one by one, because of the storm, but not one of them mentioned seein' Jim. Probably, I thought, he's whalin' the tar out of his dogs, an' still in a huff. He told me afterwards that that was exactly what he was doin', whalin' the life out of his dogs to put distance between me an' him, so's he wouldn't weaken an' come back an' get me. After he left town, he said, he beat his way out the Jig-saw Trail. The travelin' wasn't so bad, 'cause the snow hadn't drifted into the trail much, but after he'd passed the Clump he was out in the open without any protection against the storm, where he'd had brush an' trees be- fore. He kept goin' fast until he judged he was nearin' Little Creek. He slowed up there, to test the ice before crossin'. It was hard, so he kept on at his old pace, Hgurin' that the ice on Big Creek would be the same. Jim said afterwards that he should have known better an' looked out for air- holes, but he didn't. He was about half way across Big Creek when there was a crunchin', grindin' noise an' frantic yelps from the dogs, who had safely crossed the weak spot-now a black yawnin' hole-but were bein' pulled back into it by the sinkin' sled. Jim dove for the traces an' cut 'em in time to save the dogs, but he himself started to slide into the black, gurglin', rushin' water. 'Pete,' bein' the lead dog, was the first safely out, an' when he saw Jim's danger gave a short sharp yelp. Jim told me that when that dog barked it popped right into his mind to grab the last dog an' hold on. The frantic scramblin' of the dogs to save themselves saved Jim from d1'OXVI1lI1', but then he was still in danger, 'cause he was soaked from the hips down, an' you know what that means this time of year. VVell, Jim was out. The first thing he did was to cut 'Pete' loose from his harness give him a sharp pat on the back, an' 'Pete' was off into the storm like a streak of light- nin', knowin' just what his master expected of him. After gettin' 'Pete' started Jim kept movin', but he couldn't leave the place because 'Pete' would bring help back there. He stayed there jumpin' up an' down, doin' a buck an.' wing an' all the crazy steps he could remember. Still the ice formed on his boots an' trousers, an' Jim knew he was Hghtin' a losin' game. But he kept on until he dropped from sheer exhaustion. I was sittin' here talkin' when there comes a scratchin' an' a tearin' at the door. 'Uncle' John-he was storekeeper then- opened it, an' in bounded 'Pete,' exhausted an' all but dead. The dog was game, though. When I went to him, knowin' full well that somethin' had happened to Jim, he wanted to start right back. A few min- utes later we did start back, 'Pete' on a leash with Uncle John an' me with the store sled. 'Pete' led us right to where Jim lay buried in the snow that had tried to snuff him out but in a measure saved him by keepin' out the worst of the cold. We piled Jim onto our sled, beat our way back to town, an' it took us half the next day to wake him upg but he finally came to, an' in a week was all right. The men sat staring before them, think- ing of 'Pete' and his master. Suddenly came a loud scratching and tearing at the door. Uncle John's son opened it, and in bounded a great snow-covered dog, eyes snapping, paws hardly touching the Hoor for the joy J THE DORIE Page Nine at seeing the story-teller, into whose arms he Hnally jumped. Yes, it was fPete,' come for his master,s friend, but this time Jim --o was with him, as was proved when his mas- ter stepped smiling into the room. E H. Smalley, ,23. A Tale of Two Towns fOr, What You Willj NEERBEER NICK, most famous of detect- ives, stood on the corner of the Bowery and 33d Street disguised as a lamp-post. Ever alert and watchful, he soon perceived a pretty young woman languidly strolling towards him. As she passed our sleuth she dropped a small piece of paper, which action did not escape Neerbeeris eagle glance. Ut- tering a cry like that of a lamp-post to avoid suspicion, he stepped from his disguise and stealthily picked up the paper. A faint cheesy odor permeated the atmosphere. A startled exclamation burst from the lips of the detective, for on the paper was written: Ullfffayonnaise, numero 57, Rue de From- mage, Paris I The plot sickens. A dignified gentleman ambulated with decision towards a stately maison particu- Iiifre on the Rue de Frommage, Paris. As he approached, a querulous female voice cried out, f'Qui Stes-vous? Stung and frightened by these cruel words, our hero Cfor such he wasj drew back, confused. What, thought he- Wl1at would lVIonsoor Finnegan say in my place? Ah, yes! Vouloir zioulruzt fvouler -je zfeux that's it-je veux- Oh, hang it, he cried in English, l want to see lVIayonnaisef' lVlayonnaise,H said the voice as the door slammed shut, is dressingli' g'True,,' said the intrepid detective in a Gastonian manner, Hlldayonnaise is dress- ing. I never thought of that before. It was midnight Qas it often isj in the Quartier Latin. Bursts of frenzied music from a little cafe of questionable reputation smote the ear. A gang of boisterous Apaches were for should it be wax, Miss Beard?l dancing and singing. Suddenly a shot rang outg twenty redskins bit the dust. No, no! I have my scenes mixed. All this was in the heart of Paris-don't ask me which ventri- cle. It wasn't a shot: someone just pulled the cork out of a bottle of absinthe. Nlayonnaise was dancing with a ferocious looking Apache CNeerbeer Nick in dis- guisej. mn - - o p lx i . 3 .1 -- ' ,... Q1 Q .

CThis, dear read- er, is the villain.j All stopped to stare at the burly intruder. ''Chavirorotantachachamipatarvetrobrula- patachatln he muttered brusquely, drawing a pistol and a watch. Receiving no answer, he fired 41 Qby ac- tual countj bullets thru lVIayonnaise's indi- gestion. Then, with a raucous laugh, the great brute Hung himself in a chair, shout- ing, Icey, garsung. Bay rum at la corbeille lieurieln Then the great detective got on the job. He adjusted his rnonocle Cmodern sleuths use them instead of the obsolete magnifying glassj, mounted the nearest chandelier, and began to examine the bulb for hngerprints. At last he found some. Aha!', he ex- claimed, rubbing them off, this may shed some light on the subject! Then he turned to the corpse. Carram- ba! he announced to the astonished spec- tators. She has been murdered. This may mean war between South America and Ice- landf' So saying, he entered it in his Eng- lish note-book as voluntary work. Neerbeer then obtained a promise from the murderer to send his name and address at his earliest convenience. Remember, said he, if you don't, I'll tell your mamma! With this terrible threat, which caused the villain to simper and whine, the valiant detective placed all the men with glass eyes or wooden legs under arrest, and ran swiftly away at the rate of sixty minutes per hour. In the street he stopped suddenly and srnote his forehead. Donnerblitzen!,' he shouted in Portuguese. I should have asked that gentleman why he took out his watch with his pistol! Finale. Comte Henri Jean Prosper Francois de Chiffoniere, murderer of Mayonnaise, sat reading his favorite newspaper, La MHfilZ66 Suiwmte, in his little room in a Paris pen- sion. Suddenly the door opened and Neer- beer, the fearless detective, entered. I arrest you, he exclaimed, for breach of promise. Why did you not send me your name and address? A thousand pardonslu snickered the Count. I was just writing a letter to you. See, here it is. And he handed the detect- ive a million ruble banknote. I see, said Neerbeer, bowing his way out. Pardon my error. I hope you will not resent my intrusion. If you ever Hy over my house, drop in, I beg you. Adieuf' Just a moment, said the Count, level- ing a pistol at our hero's head. f'Take off your disguise. Remonstrating, the detective obeyed, and wilt? Cas Ecke would sayb there stood, not Neerbeer, but lVIayonnaise herself. Drawing herself up proudly, she said, Henri, you shoot me all you want, but you can never force me to eat dill pickles with oyster patties. I hate you! CRepeat three times! I love the detectif from Ameriqueln Neerbeer, said the Count, removing a wig and false beard, Neerbeer, c'est moi. And, true enough, it was the intrepid sleuth himself! And what of the Count? Don't ask me. To this day it has not been found out what really became of him. Was it himself he shot? Or did he never was? We can only speculate.

T H F, D O M F, Page Eleven How Old Si Was Once Fooled OUTSIDE it was dark. The wind rushed by, brushing against the chimneys, whistling a merry tune, and endeavoring to tear open tightly shut and bolted doors and windows. Inside it was warm and light. Perkins's store, which was both grocery and post- office, displayed a cheerful scene. Gathered around the small stove, which extended its warmth to all, sat a group of aged men men with faces beaming full of jolliness and unheedful of the stormy, cruel Master Wind without. Waal, Si, ol' pal, spoke Perkins, you 've gotta do your bit now. C'mon, give us a nice little tale. Wasil, drawled old Si, who was just turning eighty but whose lust and vigor contradicted that age- VVaal, he drawled again, with his el- bows on his knees and stroking his thirteen haired beard and chewing away on his to- bacco at one hundred chews a second- 'WVaal, he drawled away for the third time, looking far into novvheres with his never-fading eyes as if to see the written story before him- All was still and all were patient, for they knew when Si said three Waals the fourth one brought out a story full of anticipating interest. Waal, came the last ejaculation, be- traying the ghostly and nightmaric tale that was to follow- Ya better all hold yer hearts an' keep th' color in yer faces an' hold on ta yer excitement. For here goes! IVVhen I wuz a kid about twelve years old I wuz comin' from school, an' I happens ta pass ol' Timothy's farm Qthat farm ain't no morej. I saw two red apples. Ya know apples a'ways usta get me in dutch. Waal, I saw those two apples, an' all I does is go over th' fence for 'em. I put one in me blouse, an' ate th' other. Nobody knew. Anyway, so I thought. Here he smacked his lips, as if recalling the delicious IZLSIC. Wasil, afther supper who should come to th' door but Fatty, an' he sez, sez he, ta me: 'I'm goin' ta Ol' Gypsy's house around th' corner. Ya know he comes every year this time, an' whoever is there he goes an' tells 'em their fortune. Comin'? Or are ya afraid ?' Ya know, boys, I never wuz afraid, so I goes ta th' barn an' gets me a lantern, an' off ta th' gypsy's house we were. VVe goes up th' stairs, an' th' creakin' made me think they wuz goin' ta fall ta pieces. But they didn't. Don't forget th' apple wuz still in me blouse. We sat down on th' floor, Fatty sayin' there wuz ten minutes afore th' ghost show- ed up. I wuz beginnin' ta get scared. It never happen' ta me before, an' I wuz seein' things on th' wall. Pretty soon we hears a noise, an' I gets scared again. U 'Stan' up,' Fatty whispers ta me. I gets up, an' as soon as I does that in comes th' ghost. It wuz all white, an' I got real scared then. This wuz th' scaredest mo- ment in allnae life. Th' ghost kep' movin' nearer an' nearer ta me, an' I kep' movin' far'er an' far'er from him till I got against th' wall an' I sat down with a bang an' out goes th' lan- tern, an' all I c'd see was that white ghost. I wuz shiverin' an' me hands were cold, an' I s'pose me face wuz as white as th' ghost. Then th' ghost begins speakin' in a shaky voice. 'K 'C'mon,' he sez, 'turn over that apple ya got from ol' Timothy. I know yal Ha, ya thought ya could get away with me, but ya aughta know ya can't fool Ol' Gypsy.' VVaal, what could I do? All I does is give him th' apple. I-Ie takes it, an' walks over ta Fatty an' sez ta him, 'Bad will come ta him, but good ta ya, an' maybe bad ta ya, too.' Then he walks down th' stairs laughin' an' makin' th' whole house shake. 'I-Ia, hal' he laughs. 'Some applel' he sez, an' then he sez again ta Fatty, 'Try an' get some.' Th' next day after I got over th' effects an' grabs hold of Fatty an' sez, 'Who wuz that last night? It wuz no ghost.' CA11' all th' while I thought it wuz a ghost.j Ya know Fatty a'ways wuz a coward, an' he begins beggin' me not ta hurt him an' tells th' whole story. He tol' me that the ghost wuz Skinny, an' he sed that he'd give Fatty half th' apple if he would help Page Twelve T H E DOME him fool me. Ya see, boys, Skinny saw me get th' apple. Balieve me, boys, I got even on Skinny an' he played me no more such tricks. We wuz th' best of friends after that. Here the clock struck ten, and the little party broke up by singing Si's a jolly good fella, he is, and Auld Lang Synef, Thus did the old folk of C- pass one of its wintry nights. Dora Glrzntz, l24. A Southern High School Almost every one of you have at some time wondered what the High Schools in the South were like. I have always won- dered What the Northern schools were like, and with Richmond Hill High School as an example I think Northern schools are in some ways better than Southern schools but in others not so good. I will tell you of the school I came from, and let you form an opinion of your own. Central High School of Birmingham, Alabama, has a very fine and wonderful school building. A German spy burned it to the ground during the war, but, as the Centralites say,- Fires may come and schools may go, but Centralls spirit lives forever. We were compelled to have school in churches. At last the school authorities found an old medical college to which they built annexes, The college was in a very unfavorable location, but we had to be content. It was behind a hospital, and the smell of ether and chloroform always penetrated the entire school. The building was too small to have an auditorium, therefore we had open air as- sembly. We sat on benches, and the speak- ers were on a platform. The programs were arranged by the various clubs. We often had famous and interesting men to speak -to us. Once a famous aviator, Jersey Ringle, told us how he learned to stand on the wing of an airplane while it looped the loop. Central has a hne collection of clubs. There are four girls, literary clubs, three Art Club, Pen and Ink Club, French Club, Spanish Club, Glee Club, Dramatic Club, Euterpean Club, the Good Speech League, and lVIirror Board. Important events of every year are the girls and boys' oratorical contest, the Club Debate, two operettas given by the Euter- pean Club, one Shakespearean play and one Senior play given by the Dramatic Club. These are held in the best theatre in the city. Central also has the Reserve Officers' Training Camp. The majority ofthe boys in the school belong to this camp. It is just like a real soldiers' camp. They wear khaki uniforms, have sham battles on the moun- tain, hike and drill. There are six com- panies, and a band of twenty-eight pieces. This is a very fine thing for boys, as it makes them healthy, strong, quick-minded, and fit to serve their country when they become men. Central has baseball teams, basketball, track and other athletics, but its specialty is football. Central is famous in the South for her football games. She was almost al- ways ahead, although she had one or two strong rivals. The strongest was Bessemer. The day before the game with this school the whole school paraded through the bus- iness section of Birmingham, cheering and carrying Bessemeris coflin and signs telling of her near defeat. Q11 the day of the game everyone was there. XfVe tried to out-cheer one another, and when we won we were the happiest students in the world. The school authorities are having a new High School built, and from the reports I have heard it will be one of the finest in the South. I hope that, from the things I have told you, you will form a good opinion of a Southern school. Garnett Lazzney. Uzzdiwidezl Attention Smith: How far fmeaning pagesj are they ?

'W' Wij7'J f sfo' e H l I T H E D O M E Page Thirteen rultrirxz g racy The Faculty Adviser THIS title was suggested to me as l listened to an inspiring musical program in a Friday morning assembly. The Orchestra, Glee Club, two soloists, and the school combined and showed an earnest interestedness, resulting in a pro- gram of high excellence. Wliat made this fine assembly possible? The students, their training and talent. But we must not for- get the teacher known as the faculty ad- viser. There are a score of student activities in the school just as important in their way as the one mentioned above. l won't list them. l might leave one out. You know them, and if you have had any experience whatever in any one of them, the teacher or faculty adviser of that activity stands out before your mind's eye. You students furnish the material, the faculty adviser, the guiding hand. For years Flushing High School retained the Tennis title of Queens. Year after year we came up to the spring schedule with high hopes. We wept for disappointment when the famous team headed by the Scovil brothers, Earl and Kes,', went down to defeat before Paul Jenks, F.H.S. aggrega- tion. Finally our faculty adviser, hir. Fin- nigan, began to lie awake nights devising ways and means for winning the Queens title. He instituted a preliminary open tour- nament to bring out the tennis talent of the school. After selecting his team he an- nounced a challenge scheme, whereby any student could challenge a particular mem- ber of the tennis team for his position at any time during the season and the team member must accept and defend. The re- sult is evident: two years of untiring effort on the part of the team and the faculty ad- visor have brought the Queens title to the biggest borough's central High School,- Richmond Hill. The strength of Richmond Hillls intra and extra mural life owes much, as you will agree, to the faculty adviser. VVouldn't you like to see this group of teachers all to- gether, say at a reception or something of the sort given in recognition of their ser- vices?-every teacher in the school con- nected in any way with a student activity? These faculty advisers get rewards. They live in an atmosphere charged with energy, courage, growth, and, above all, one of youthful friendliness. But of all these re- wards your friendship and your apprecia- tion is the greatest. The faculty adviser doesn't always lie on a bed of roses. Wliat a disappointment for him when the marking period comes around, and two, three, or even more of his best players have to be plucked from his and your team because of failure in their studies! Your studious effort means even more to him than your friendliness. lf you are out for a team, drive hard on your studies, for a scholastic quitter deserves no more sympathy than a quitter of any kind. Richmond Hill may well be proud of her students, even boastful of their achieve- ments. The continued successful growth of a spirit of cooperation among the students and between students and teachers depends largely on the proper appreciation of work done by both. lVlore joy to the faculty ad- viser, because of the loyal and generous helpfulness of all of you who reap the benehts of disinterested sacrihce of time, money, and laborious achievement. We all know you, appreciate you,-yes, and honor you, Faculty Adviser. On August 1, 1922, FRANK STEFFENS, of the present sixth term class, died at the Coney lsland Hospital as a result of an ac- cident while diving. He had been spending the summer with his parents at their bun- galow at Rockaway Point. Frank left a clean record in the Rich- mond Hill High School. His name was among those eligible for Arista this term. Students and faculty extend their sympathy to the bereaved parents. Page Fourteen T H E D O NI E Q 9 EIN 'A N U . rg Q 'rp V ' A Sophomorefv Philosophy of Life Why is it that the High School student's life is beset with so many iridescently in- congruous setbacks? He comes into High School because he is too young to go to business, and he takes Latin because he is too young to know better. And everything happens just oppositely to the way it should, all through the course. When he is a freshman, the senior girls think he is just too cute for words, and when he attains his seventh or eighth term the freshwomen speak of him in awed whispers. If he doesn't do anything for his school, he is lacking in spirit' if he does it is to show off. If he has a sympathetic personality, he's a musher or a cakeg and if he is quiet and reserved, he must be stuck on himself. pass your work, you're a grind. donlt, youlre a dumbbell. ! I lf you If you lf you come early, you can't get in. lf you come late, you have to stay in. Therefore, what'n Hempstead is the use? The Psychology ofHu71zor Humor is a funny thing. 'VVe hold this to be self-evident. But why are some jokes funny? WVhy do we laugh? Do you appre- ciate your English teacher's jokes? At least you pretend to. Does she snicker at your sallies? What indeed is this subtle sense, sometimes almost sublime, more often silly, of which some people seem almost devoid while others are endowed with so copious a superabundance? Psycho-azzalysis for psychazzalysisj, the new school of psychology, has been tearing down old ldeas and replacing them with new ones, which may or may not be cor- rect. The pscycho-analyst theory of humor is something like this: Each of us has two minds. Many of us evidently do not realize this, since we are so careful not to overwork the one we know, or sincerely believe, we possess. These minds are called the Conscious and the Subconscious. Each action, according to the psycho-analysts, is traceable to the libido, or life impulse, and has its definite cause. Humor is in itself absurd, but it affects one so that, temporarily, the Sub- conscious mind gains control, causing a physical reaction or manifestation known as laughter. This brief rest refreshes the Con- scious, wherein lies the value of humor. A11 this, to quote a prominent member of the faculty, is as clear as mud. We do not doubt that psycho-analysis is correct. But if anyone asks us why jokes make one laugh, we shall reply, with evi- dent truth if not with originality, Because it's funny. Good news for the present DOME editor: Blessed are the Micks, for they shall in- herit the earth. THE D O M E Page Fifteen The Somers Festival COur Teachers as Actorsj Rarely is a man privileged to be the recipient of such sincere admiration and appreciation as was accorded ARTHUR S. SOMERS, banker and educator, at a lunch- eon held on October 28th at the Hotel Commodore. Over two thousand men and women gathered together to celebrate the 35th wedding anniversary of Mr. Somers and his 30th anniversary of becoming a member of the Board of Education of the City of New York. Every borough of Greater New York took part in the festivities. The Somers Festivalf, as it was called, began with a series of episodes depicting The Procession of the Years and their VVedding Festivals. lllany are the occasions on which the fac- ulty of R.H.H.S. are proud of their stu- dents, and this most certainly was an occa- sion when the students of R.H.H.S. would have been proud of their faculty, could they have seen them perform. The 'tProcession of the Years and their VVedding Festivalsn was the portion of the program alloted to us, and under the direction of Miss Barber, lllr. Flint and Mr. Wood it was beautifully done. We knew that it was a huge success, too, by the applause we received. Five graceful dancers, who were students of the H.S., appeared on the stage and called forth the brides of 1887, 1892, 1897, IQO2, 1912, and 1922. With the Fifth An- niversary group came a company of wooden merry-makers, armed with wooden spoons, clothespins, and other appropriate articles, singing to the air of a familiar folk-song: 'Twas in the early 90,8 that the winters fled away, lfVhen Arthur joined the Board 'twas said 'Now Somers' come to stayl' O'er sundry knotty questions he manfully has pored, For Somers isn't wooden, though he serves upon a Board! The 'ftin wedding of the Tenth Year followed with the clatter of dishpans, the clash of tin plates and other tinny imple- ments of cookery. A single beautiful goblet, carried by a young lady clad in white and followed by wedding dancers, symbolized the Crystal Wedding. The l'Silver VVedding was particularly beautiful. The procession was headed by a tall, stately figure bearing a large silver loving-cup. The Silver Wedding was fol- lowed by the passage of the later years. After all the other boroughs had present- ed their tableaux or pageants, Mr. Somers spoke. He said in part: A share of my embarrassment is dispelled by my knowl- edge that this tribute is one in which you may all justly share. You have all been a part of it. Space will not allow us to mention all the notable people present at the luncheon, but educational circles were represented by practically every associate and district su- perintendent, high school principal, direc- tors of special branches of the Board of Education, and many hundreds of princi- pals and teachers. lQLA l3 Hey Eighth Term The Senior Class is now rejoicing in the peaceful regime of our esteemed friend Herb Nlohrmann, assisted by Lil johnson and Frank Stellwagen as his vice-president and secretary respectively. Qur well known and justly celebrated associate S. Bailey has been forced to absent himself from the track lately because of an accident. While running the customary three miles he tripped upon his beard, long overdue as is usual, and sustained a dislo- cated jaw. Qur big game hunter E. Ruck, after a wild chase through the History 8--5 class, has at last succeeded in securing a specimen Page Sixteen T H E D O M E of the rarely observed Jersey mosquito. Dame Rumor hath it that A1 Arkus has signed a contract with the Keith circuit to recite The Kid's Last Fight. Very good, Al, very good. VVe note with alarm that there has been a hitherto unprecedented amount of pair- ing offf' as it were, among the studes. VVe have summoned the attention of our col- league, H. Mohrmann, who has in turn delegated Gene Martin to counteract this tendency in the office of deputy constable. Mr. Martin may be assured of our material support. There runs a persistent story that Sandy Werbin, our microscopic prodigy, has suc- ceeded in adding another half inch to his much depleted stature. Careful measure- ments taken by us prove to the contrary, however. We wonder where all the Howers that are brought in in the morning in lapels go to. Something tells us Miss Edwards knows. Who can tell? Seventh Term THE ANSWER MAN - CFor Information, Ask llvlej A Friend of Mifze.-Uh, yes, I could understand your writing. Albert T. Ecke's last appearance was as John Paul Bart in 'fThe Tailor-Made lXIan. Yes, he is still single. Briglzteyes.-You say that Frederick F. Kortlucke did not answer your request for his picture. Well, try it again Cthis time enclosing a quarterb. ' Jasmine.-No, Everett Miller is not re- lated to Marilynn. I suppose, after that, he is no longer of interest to you. Phan.-As far as we're concerned, the cast of The Tailor-blade Man is as fol- lows: Mr. Huber, F. F. Kortluckeg John P1zuIBnrt, A. T. Ecke, Pomeroy, H. H. Tiffany, Corinne, Thomas, Bobby West- lake, E. C. Towl, Wlzitconzbe, T. F.Wolffg Flynne, C. Roemaet. So, you see, what would the play'have been if it hadn't been for the Seventh Term? X.Y.U.-The main luminaries of the Seventh Term world held their annual fete lately. It was a shower for Segall Cmuch to his chagrinj. Among those present were Alison Taylor, looking brilliant in a collar- piece of squirrel's fur, Helen Raskoff, all hennaed, and many others. An elegant time was had by certain male guests. Helelz Gardner zildmirer.-No, your idol does not copy her dresses from Gloria Swan- son nor her headgear from the Zulus. Emmy Lon.-Here are the hobbies of a few of your favorites. I canlt give them all. A1 Ecke, Fritz Kortlucke, and Jim Ramsay play soccer, Ted Wolff, Deasy, and Roeck- lein are the main support of the Track Team, Ernie Godduhn and Willie Feuer- bach helped win two baseball championships last term, and Simpson, Towl 85 Co. are wireless experts. Pardee and Big Rich make basketball what it is. Eclee Adorer.-Your favorite was born. He attended P.S.I71. He entered R.H.H.S. and has appeared in the Pilgrim Pageant, 'fMan of the Hour, America's Making Pageant, and Tailor-Made Man. He is now president of Arista. Scandal Ilffonger.-There seem to be too many happy unions in our class to suit you. I can see you gloating over the Bittner-Falk disaster and all the other domestic quarrels that happen along. But this term in an era for contented couples. The latest are C.M. and H.R., C.M. and M.I., C.M. and A.T., and C.M. and C.M. No, C.IVI. is not a bigamist-yet. Dumb Dora.-Natalie hasn't denied re- lationship to William Russel, but as far as I can see the name is about the only thing they have in common. Alone.-Yes, it was Segall who created the humorous character of Judge Newman in The Man of the Hour. T.N.T.-Your questions have all been answered elsewhere. Glaflioln.-If I were handing out prizes, Buonchristiano would get one for his name, Edna Mieyer for her smile, Jennie Thomas for her earrings, Lenore Capitanio and Kay English for their baby-talk, Bittner for his acting, Marquiss for his voice, Ramsey for his hair, Ecke for his jokes, and Jones for his beauty.

This is the beginning of another school year of success or failure, but with the out- standing feature of individual benefit de- rived from our school for all. Let's go, for R.H.H.S.! Full steam ahead! Tuesday, Sept. 12. And to-day we rule and number the pages of our English note-books, and get acquaint- ed with the teachers, Who are impressing upon us how we are to behave in his or her class. We shall l ? I VVednesday, Sept. 13. The program cards are not zfery confused about this time, but we must remember that to-day We have 2871 students-I mean pupils-on roll, so don't blame it on the grade advisors. Thursday, September 14. The Orchestra held its first meeting to- day at three o'clock in the auditorium, and the musical season promises well. Friday, Sept. 15. The Hrst week-end day is here, and we are having no assembly to-day. Despite this the day is soon gone and we are launched into- Saturday, Sept. 16. Our first Week-end of the term. Inci- dentally everybody seems to be taking home books to-day. COne must at least look over onels books at least once a term.j lVIonday, Sept. 18, 1922. lt's a shame we can't write up Sundays as well as the other days. Of course the week days are much more interesting, but AW THE LOG then we might like to count those who get up at 7 p.x. and study on the Sabbath. By the way, regular routine starts to-day. Tuesday, Sept. 19. The campaigning of the General Organ- ization nominees is getting under way, and the political excitement is growing. Wednesdayf, Sept. 20. Posters ,and electric signs bearing the names of the party nominees are to-day dashed all over the entire building, to say nothing of the Annexes 51 and 90, and we are wearing either a yellow or red ticket, depending upon our choice. Thursday, Sept. 21. Nothing much of important news value in this our tenth day of the term. Friday, Sept. 22. At last We have enough room in the as- sembly periods Cweeklyj. A double header is called for every Friday, which gives us all a chance to enjoy those talks on every- thing from Motive Powerl' to the New Addition. And our pilot, Mr. Hazen, says we are going to absolutely, positively, have one. Saturday, Sept. 23. Just a regular Saturday, with nothing to do till Monday,-except, of course, home- work! Mondayf, Sept. 25. This day starts a Week that from :lil angles promises to be exciting in the polit- ical line. The two tickets hold respectively Mohrinan vs. Segall, Johnston vs. Meliiin- ger, and Stellwagen vs. Kortlucke. T H E D O M E Page Nineteen Tuesday, Sept. 26. The first of the three conventions was held in Annex 51 to-day for our freshmen, bless their hearts! And as for other news, the Glee Club held its first meeting, and elected officers for the ensuing term to navigate toward a soon appearing concert. VVednesday, Sept. 27. In the a.m. of this day a convention was held in Annex Q0 as a duplication of the one in No. 51. ln the p.m. the Blain Build- ing held the final convention, which was the most enthusiastic of any ever held in R.H.H.S. Thursday, Sept. 28. At 2.4.5 p.m. to-day the election of the officers for the G.O. was held in the various rooms of the lVIain Building and both An- nexes. The anxious voters stayed about the decks of the ships until the excitement had slightly subsided, at about 4.30. Friday, Sept. 29. i Capt. Hazen of the good ship R.H.H.S. is given a new mate to-day, as Mr. Mohr- man is presented with the gavel of our G.O. in the assembly hall. Next in rank is Nliss Midshipman Johnston and Mr. Pilot Stell- wagen. The other news of the day is not to be compared to this. Saturday, Sept. 30. Another Saturday, with nothing to do but enjoy yourself and rest up for the next week's work. lVIonday, Oct. 2. As the Annex crew did not witness the- installation of the new G.O. officers, it was given in duplicate at No. 51 this morning. Tuesday, Oct. 3. Annex 90 also could not be present at the regular installation, so another was held there in the forenoon. VV'ednesday, Oct. 4. To-day passes as usual, with no extraor- dinary happenings to write up in the log. Thursday, Oct. 5. Philup Space again inserts himself here, so the log shall appear complete and pass the skipper's inspection. Friday, Oct. 6. To-day is called club day, and the stage is crowded with speakers all anxious to boost their respective clubs. And such a number of clubs as there are! Our new stage should fast appear if we wish to seat all of our eager club representatives upon the platform. Saturday, Oct. 7. The first soccer game of the season was played to-day with Boys High School. Both schools won. That is, they QBoys High, managed to tie the score, and as a result it looks like this: I--I. Our home grounds are at the Democratic Field. Monday, Oct. 9. Back again, with nothing unusual to re- cord to-day. Tuesday, Oct. IO. To-day is also an uneventful one, or any- way the writer of this knows of nothing that would interest the reader. And so ends Tuesday the tenth. Wednesday, Oct. II. Another soccer game was played to-day. This time we were beaten-by Poly Prep. The score was 1--O. Thursday, Oct. 12. Columbus Day! Christopher donates a holiday to us. CKi-ma-ka! Sail on! etc.j Friday, Oct 13. An assembly for, or in behalf of, Autumn took place this morning, and we were fav- ored with a remarkable bit of vocal demon- stration by one of the Glee Club members! This afternoon R.H.H.S. was scheduled to play Jamaica, but the game was not played, and so we delay another victory. Saturday, Oct. 14. In the afternoon of this date R.H.H.S. was entered in a Cross Country race. The other contestants were Commercial, Evan- der Childs, and Jamaica High Schools. We came in first place. Some team! Monday, Oct. 16. Another week started, and after 3 o'clock Cor, to be exact, at 3105, the Clarenceville Station was lined with about 2.0 fellows who were all intent upon making a bull's- eyen look like a screen door. Thus the Rifle Club held its first practice in a Brooklyn armory. Tuesday, Oct. 17. Did you ever hear of Columbia Hall? Never mind if you haven't-anyway we needed a new basketball court, and so, prestof a few hundred dollars gave Rich- mond Hill a new place for diversion called the Auditorium Recreation Center. Also Page Twenty T H E D 0 NI E for news, though it be sad, we were defeated by Boys High School in a Cross Country match to-day. The score was 24--31. VVednesday, Oct. 18. Yes, we now have a Golf Team, which won our first victory of the year by defeat- ing Newtown H.S. with the score of 2--I. To-day is our lucky day for winning events, says the skipper, and so we also whipped Horace lVIann in a soccer game ending 2--O in our favor. Thursday, Oct. 19. The only news of importance to-day, be- sides the daily academic, is that the Rich- mond Hill High School Dramatic Club held its Hrst meeting in Room 302 at three o'clock, and-sh! here's a secret-they are going to give us the best yet, it is ru- mored. Can you imagine them excelling their past work? But then, of course, Miss Barber is their counsellor and adviser. Friday, Oct. 20. This morning we have on the program a musical assembly. The Orchestra entertains us with our old favorite, Light Cavalry, and two artists of the fair sex entertain and honor us with vocal and piano solos, which are very much appreciated by the student body. Saturday, Oct. 21. The game that was scheduled for to-day against Commercial H.S. is postponed until next lvednesday, when our soccer players will try for a victory. lldonday, Oct. 23. The first meeting of the Junior Dramatic Club took place to-day. There is no other news of the day except the usual calm sea and N. by N.E. winds. Tuesday, Oct. 24. Strong N. by N.VV. winds to-day, and it looks as though we are all set for a reg- ular winter. This afternoon we were de- feated by Commercial H.S. in a basketball game ending 33--18. VVednesday, Oct. 25. The log of the good ship R.H.H.S. is completed, and the shipls first destination is reached as we sail- on to-morrow. An account of the events of the coming trip will be recorded in the next log published. . . .And now, for reading this conglom- eration of facts and nonsense, I thank you. Glenn McCori1zeIl C Mac J. ora 2 , THLETIE5 Richmond Hill High School is at present in one of its best athletic periods, the reason being that all of the men on the teams are of championship caliber. There is our champion Tennis Team, which proved to the schools of Queens that Richmond Hill High can produce racquet wielders. Here- tofore Flushing had monopolized the cham- pionship. A Golf Team representing this school won the golf championship of New York City. Then there is the Baseball Team, which brought to light a number of future Babe Ruths, Artie Nehfs, and Wally Pipps. Bu! now the major sport is Brzskelbzzll, a game in which Richmond Hill has more championship men than in any other school sport. Now, lVIr. Student and Miss Student, it is up to you to do your part. Show the season's teams that you are back of them and ready to yell your loudest for them. Go to the games, and give your champions somebody to fight for. Follow the crowd! Go to the athletic meets of this season. T H E D O M E Page Twenty-one ' Soccer Three winters ago Richmond Hill High added to its list of sports that strenuous game known as soccer, the foot and head game. This sport even in its infancy was met with enthusiasm by the whole school, and has rapidly progressed each year. This year Richmond Hill played its first game against Boys High, the picked winners of the soccer championship, and although our boys outplayed them on their field the score was a tie, one to one. VVhy? Because of lack of support. When one fellow had the ball near their goal, there were only a few to cheer our team to put that ball through their goal. Richmond Hill High has plenty of school spirit, but why be ashamed of it? lf you do not play on the team, at least come out and cheer for it. This year R.H.H.S. has obtained the use of a held nearer the school, and efven has benrlzes to rest those husky rooters. This certainly is an inducement to the student body to at least attend all home games. With the nearer field the team has had more practice than before, as much as four afternoons a week sacrificed by the mem- bers. So you can at least lend your support and cheer on our team to victory! The soccer team is now under the able guidance of coach Caldicott and 'lBig Mil Richardson as captain. lVIr. Hutcheson is on the job as faculty advisor. The prob- able line-up for the games is as follows: Outside r.f. .......... Beal, Zwerling Inside r.f. .. ,... King, Ramsay Center f.. . . ....... Taggard . . .Richardson, E. Inside l.f.. . . Outside l.f.. . ......... Stellwagen Right h.b. . . ............ Bernstein Center h.b. ..... Lang, Stone, Smalley Left h.b. .................... Lehr Right f.b. ......... Luebber, Kestler Left f.b. .... Richardson, NI. CCapt.D Goal .. ............. Pardee, Ecke F. Kortluclee, llffauager. Basketball Last year the Basketball Team won the championship of Queens. This year we expect to make an even better showing. The services of lVIiles and Kammerer, who played guard last year, were lost to the school through graduation. Of the reg- ulars of last year, Richardson, Rogers, and Lewis were left. Richardson was elected captain of the team. Practice was started early in October. Coach Jacobson was pleased with the num- ber of candidates that came out. Richmond Hill is also to have a Midget Team. Much attention is to be paid to the Nlidgets, as they will some day be Rich- mond Hill's Varsity. To win a championshippit is necessary not only to have a good team, but to have the honest support of the school. Buy your season ticket, and attend the games reg- ularly. Fred Buhler, jl'T!I11Il5JF7'. Rifle Team Last year the Rifle Team played in hard luck, but this year we hope to come back with the bacon. We feel that we are on the verge of a successful season. The first event of any importance will be the annual match at Tenafly, New jer- sey, where the schools compete. Last year lVheeler got in the first ten, and we expect more this time. There are also the usual P.S.A.L. matches, in which all the New York City teams clash. We also have hopes that there will be an opportunity for an interclass match for the Smith Memorial Trophy. For practice, we have dual matches with other schools, in which we display our marksmanship in a manner very disconcert- ing to the other teams. Well, anyway, were off, and you just watch the trophies come rolling inl D. Sayer. Cross Country The opportunity is here! For four years Richmond Hill has not had a city cham- pionship. In the fall of 1918 the Cross Country Team of Richmond Hill High School carried off the championship of the City of New York, and since then the best we have been able to do in major sports has been the Queens Borough championship. This year has been the most successful yet achieved by the wearers of the Red and Gray. The Basketball Team captured the Queens Borough, the Baseball Team fol- lowed in its steps, and the Tennis Team made it a clean sweep for major sports in Queens. Now the Cross Country Team faces the chance of making a fitting climax by romping home with the highest honors. Page Twenty-two T H E D O M E Briefly, this is the lay of the land. Last year Richmond Hill finished third in the race. Fraser and Albers have been lost through graduation, but the best three men of R.H. remain. The champions, Manual Training, have been broken up-only one man remains, one graduated, and the other three are now enrolled in Brooklyn Tech. 'Therefore R.H. is the favorite on paper. The question is, VVho will fill the shoes of Fraser and Albers? Here is the opportunity for everyone to serve the school! Those who can run, come out to practice so that Coach Nichols may find the two men need- ed. Those who can cheer and give their time for R.H., come to the meets and sup- port your hope! H. Mohrzzzarzzz, fllanrzger. EUFQLT . .ual lm., D01z't Miss Your Share You gave the school a quarter, So don't you miss the fun, Come out and join athletics, .Get into every one. Thx-:re's captain ball and hockey, There's tennis, swimming, track, You've got a quarter coming,- Go out and get it back! Evelyn Johnston. Swimming In the past, swimming has been very popular. There has always been a long waiting list of girls anxious either to learn how to swim or to learn more about it. But this term the number of girls to be taken is very limited. Gnly those who can't swim at all will be admitted first, and then those who can swim but are not good swim- mers second. Therefore, why not make the most of this opportunity? You that can't swim, why not send your names down to Miss Chapin as soon as possible? If you are one of the lucky ones, you will not only learn how to swim, but will have a good time too. Don't miss this chance. Ellen Borcherding. Hockey Hockey, one of Richmond Hill's most popular games, is once more in full swing. If you have ever played hockey you need no urging to come again, but if you haven't now's the time to start. just come out and try it. 'Nuff sed. You'll come again, and keep on coming as long as you're in Rich- mond Hill. Now there ought to be as large a crowd out for hockey as there is' for captain ball and basketball, because it is as interesting as either of those games, Remember, we play every Thursday afternoon at King's Park, Jamaica. Come out and help your team win the championship. It is not too lateg we play until the snow falls. Girls' Tennis Girls, can you play tennis? lf you can, why not join the Tennis Club and play for your school? Anyone who has played knows how interesting and exciting it is. Suppose you can't play, there is no reason for your not learning. We want the Girls' Tennis Club to rank with or above the other popular athletics. Don't be satisfied to stand by and watch others play. Get in and take a hand your- self! Watch the bulletin board for the dates of practices and then be sure to come out.

The interest in the Debating Club is not confined to the school alone. It is a member of the New York City Interscho- lastic Debating League. According to the schedule prepared by the League, Richmond Hill anticipates some lively debating. At the opening session this term Pres- ident Arthur Segall appointed himself and his friend and classmate Bittner as tellers, and proceeded to the electiion of officers for the new term. The ballots showed for Alu Ecke IO, for lVIary Storer 7, for Lois Penny 7, for Eva Jacobi 5, and for Fritz Kort- lucke 7. A President Segall then declared the elec- tion of Arthur Segall, President, Eva Ja- cobi, Vice-President, Albert T. Ecke, Sec- retary, Fred Kortlucke, G. 0. Represent- ative. The club has scheduled three interscho- lastic debates before Christmas: November IO, Curtis at Curtis, November 24, Town- send Harris at Stuyvesant, December 15, Stuyvesant at Richmond Hill. For the bal- ance of the school year Morris, Evander Childs, and Wadleigh are in line. Debates with local schools and in Brooklyn are being arranged. V The Girl Reserves One of the comparatively new societies in Richmond Hill High School is the one known as the Girl Reserves. Although this is only the second term of this organiza- tionls existence in the High School, it has become known to everyone through its var- ied aetivities. lt was started last term by tended such a camp, but this ruling was soon eliminated and other members taken in. The club soon organized, with the help of a Y.VV. member, and became an estab- lished society with lVIiss Chapin as faculty adviser. A constitution was drawn up at once. The club stands for health, knowl- edge, and worldwide friendship. Its motto is, Give Service, and by its activities in the past term one can easily see how its members have lived up to it. Last term the club held several candy sales at noontimes in the various rooms and in the library. The members of the club were engaged during part of the term in making scrap-books, etc., which they car- ried to the inmates of the Blackwell's Island Hospital. This undertaking involved quite a good deal of labor, not only in the actual making of the books, but in the selection of stories for the older patients and of pictures, rhymes, paper dolls, and toys for the chil- dren. That they performed this task well, however, was evidenced by the appreciation of those in the hospital. As another way of living up to their motto, the members of the club served tea, candy, and crackers to the teachers during Regents' week. I This summer the club sent a delegate to a convention of Girl Reserves members held at Altamont, New Jersey. At the first meet- ing of the club this term, held on lVIonday, October 2d, in Room 211, this delegate, Natalie Russell, gave a report in which she set forth many new ideas for the improve- ment and extension of the club and its ac- tivities. The eorning term promises, there- fore, to be a most interesting one for the Girl Reserves. If you want to share their work and fun, come to one of the meetings any lVIonday in Room 211, and then give your name to a member of the membership committee.

The Orchestra, with its fifty-odd members under the most able leadership of Mr. Wood, expects to give a Grand Concert in connection with the Gloria Trumpetersfl a group of women trumpet geniuses who are world famous, on December 8, 1922. The Orchestra needs a few more instruments, as a bass, a violist, a flutist, an oboeist, in fact any sort of an odd instrument. The officers for the following term are: Burgess Morlious, president, Florence Nickels, vice-president, Roland Kestler, secretary, Francis Schwickhardt, G.O. rep- resentativeg John McCuen, librarian. Roland Kestler, ,23. Glee Club The Glee Club is at present working, in unison with the Orchestra, preparing the music for the Fall Concert, which is to be given Friday evening, December 8, 1922. The club feels certain that its program is one which will not only bring honor to R.H.H.S. but will also prove interesting and delightful to the audience. Among the numbers to be rendered by the chorus will be Rendegger's 15oth Psalm and Hear My Prayer. Both these selections are well known in the musical world. The special attraction will be a few numbers by the celebrated Gloria Trumpetersf, In order that the club may realize its ambition to make the concert a success, it is imperative that the club obtain the loyal support of every student in the school. Each student can show his school spirit by buying and selling tickets for this event. The first meeting of the club was held on the second Tuesday of the new term. It was a business meeting, at which officers for the new term were elected. They are: Ethel DeGroot, president, Luella Cisney, vice-president, Howard Tiffany, secretary. John McC11e:1. The Chess Team -At the present time neither the Chess Team nor the Chess Club has been organ- ized for the fall term. Last year much attention was given the team, and the club was really neglected. But this term we in- tend to have a live and active club, both for the pleasure of the student players and for a firm support to the Chess Team. Any one who knows the moves of a set of chess- men is earnestly requested to join the club, T H E D O M E Page Twenty-Jive however inexperienced he or she may be- and we want to see just as many boys as girls at our meetings. VVe must organize an entirely new team this term, and from entirely new material. If you play chess we need you. Watch for the announcement of meetings on the daily sheet. It is up to you chess players to give your team just as much support as any other school team receives. W. J. Baker, Captain. COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY Top-Nagleschmidt, Watson.

One of the active clubs which has arisen out of the interest in one of the studies in Richmond Hill High School is the Com- merce and lndustry Club, which has grown up through the cooperation of the members of the commercial geography class in the Main Building. This club is under the leadership of Miss Hubbard, and is meeting this term on Friday afternoons. There are talks at the meetings on various businesses, with now and then a debate on a live prob- lem, such as the Great Lakes to the Sea project. g YVith this term there has come a new idea in furthering the purposes of the club. This is the Commerce Reporter, a modest newspaper distributed by the members of the club to the various classes. It aims to do three things: to collect definite news of the industrial world, to keep in close touch with the alumni, and to acquaint the stu- dent body with the facts of interest along these lines. It is very interesting, not only to the members of the club, but also to those who are not in the club. The club is starting on an active year. lt plans for three issues of the paper, for a trip on November 23d to the American Sugar Refining Company, for an evening meeting 'at the Brooklyn Institute to see Alaskan pictures, and possibly for a trip to one of the large steamers when in port. The officers for this term are: President, Theodore YVolffg vice-president, Amelia Jaeger, secretary, Edwin Deasyg treas- urer, Albert Shpetner. Clzrzrlfs S. Strong.

I went home and told mother, but she simply won't listen to meg and dad- why, he just grunts behind his paper and says something about a jammed nuisance. Oh, I wish that you would at least un- derstand. I love her to distraction. I can't exist without her! Her eyes-soulful brown ones-haunt me in my dreams. I think day and night of that soft wavy hair that plays about her temples. Oh, she's wonderfull so beautiful, so gentle,-so everything. I could die of joy when she turns those limpid orbs upon me, and I wonder if in her heart she whispers 'II love you too, dear. My own heart throbs madly as she turns her beautiful head in my direction, wags her little tail, and then snuggles up to her three little sisters in the pet-store window. I know that you would feel as I. That is why I wrote to you. Yours ever, AL.

The requirements are, to be a good citizen and give your ser- vice to your school and community at all times. The club is active in bettering school conditions. The Junior Dramatic Club meets every Thursday from 3 to 4.30 in Room 104. Members are required to be good students and have some dramatic ability. The object of this club is to entertain the students and prepare the members for membership in the Senior Dramatic Club. Glee Club meets every Thursday from 3.15 to 4.15 in Room III. A good voice Qnot wonderfull is needed. The club's work is to lead the singing of the school in the Assembly. Orchestra meets every Tuesday from 3.15 to 4 in the Auditorium. Explanation is not needed. A Chess Club is being organized, and if you want the club--come out to the meet- ings and get others to come with you. No- tices of meetings may be found on the daily sheet. Traffic Squad meets at the end of every period. The meeting place is in the hall, each member taking his post. Members are appointed by the mayors of the civics classes. The work of the squad is to secure order-in the halls while classes are passing. THE DOM E Page Th irty-three Repair Squad meets every day at 3 o'clock in the rooms where furniture needs to be repaired. A small knowledge of car- pentry is needed to be a member.

Ury I S? ROOM IO4 In Room IO4 a jolly set of girls are to be found-among the Hnest in P.S. 51. VVC are striving very hard to get a hun- dred per cent. membership in the school bank, but of course we will have to take facts into consideration, because some of us are broke or for various reasons cannot put anything in at present, but we hope all can in a few days. Last week we did not have assembly, so we skipped into typewriting room 106 and listened as we never did before to hear the results of the G.0. election. Of course the Red Ticket won, because the majority in our 611155 voted for it. Only a few spoiled it by voting on good looks. These, of course, were girls who judge books by their covers. Since the failing notes have been disposed of, the girls seem to be taking a dislike to certain teachers. Of course it Wasn't their fault that they flunkedg it was the teacherls fault. She shouldnlt give them any home- work, and she should make things plainer, and she should not say so much at a time and-and-and-. With all the rzzzzfs the teacher shouldnyt say anything at all, but just let the class fool and play like babies. It wouldn't be a bad idea to put all the 142111-mzds in a room together until they de- cide that they will do as they are told, and then they would not have to hold the teacher responsible. As far as the DOME is concerned, we will have to strive very, very hard to get 100 per cent., because only one copy has been sold to Qctober 11th, but we hope to 3 sell one to each pupil. It wouldn't do to let too many get ahead of us, would it, girls? ' Edna Evelzznd, No. 51. RGOM 201 In looking over the reports of the school bank in the third grade class, Room 201, our bank captain, lVIiss Sutphin, has found that its membership does not reach the 100 per cent. mark. But as she is striving each day to obtain this high standing, we have no doubt that she will succeed. Two other ambitious workers of this class are, first, Robert Byron, G. O. Representative, who has secured 100 per cent. membership, and second, William Schroder, DOME Represen- tative, who has taken an active part in se- curing subscriptions. Another matter which I am sure the girls will be interested in is the Hockey Club. So far this term two lessons have been given, and both proved to be very enjoyable. Hockey is very exciting, and appeals to those who are fond of outdoor exercise. A great many girls who attended the last meeting were delighted at the prospect of playing this interesting game. The Dramatic Club has also been organ- ized in this room, and those who have vol- unteered to join it are interested in thinking of plays which they would like to perform. One more thing which may be added about this class is that one of its members has been complimented for her brilliancy in French. Miss Hazel Smith is the girl of whom I am speaking. She may be a regular Parisian some day. Who can tell? Margzzerite Nordquist, No. 51. T H E D O M E Page Thirty-five ROOM 203 Oh, boys! look Who's on the map this term! Forty-seven girls in 2031 We're third termers, too. The school bank would have to close down if it wasnyt for US-203 has 100 per cent. bank membership, and you ought to see the money we girls deposit. I know, too, that the Red Ticket won, because 203 cheered for it. We were all little hoarses when we came back from Main that day. We hope that next term the candidates will have names that are easier to spell and yell. Several girls have joined the Hockey Club and find it great fun. Of course we don't mind black eyes at all, because one of us got a peach of a one. A good many go swimming every Fridey, and three or four are members of our won- derful Service Club. It is wonderful-es- pecially their dances. On the whole, our class is a class that R.H.H.S. ought to be proud of. N. M. Cornish ROOM 103 Room IO3, Annex 51, has had several changes in teachers since Miss Ketcham left. They now have Miss Shuchhart per- manently. This is a freshman class, and they are rather green as to the rules, regulations, and ways of the school. Their first day was a day of questions: Where do we go next? VVhere is Room 201 ? What is the teacherls name? etc., to the delight of those who have already ascended to the higher degree of sophomore and strut around like proud peacocks. The freshmen are going to do their bit to help Richmond Hill High School and its organizations. This class is Very musical. Ruth Patten plays the ukelele, and Dorothy Snook leads the crowd that gathers in the singing. Helen Terstegen. ROOM 205 At Annex 51 we have a dandy crowd of girls in Room 205. Before 9 a.m. a number of said girls are very much annoyed at not being able to powder and primp in the cloak room. But that is the penalty of being in an official room that has an early period class. Also of having a Service Club doing its powerful best to keep the halls clear of pedestrians. And now a word about that struggling young infant the Service Club. It has been struggling less and less since the popular new arithmetic teacher, lllr. Kennedy, has become more and more interested in its de- velopment. Not only has it given very val- uable civic aid to the school, but it has proved a social success as well. It has given several dances that have been far from failures. Our Bank representative, Miss Wein- stein, has done her level best to bring the class to the top. Don't forget her, remem- ber her with your deposits. The DOME sales are coming nobly to the front, and our manager hopes to bring us to a speedy 100 per cent. The one sad point about 205 is that its inmates are too studious. There are not enough athletic misses. The writer heartily wishes more would come out and try for the various field and pool sports. Frezlrica Loesclz, l25. ROOM IO2 This term Room 102 consists of both boys and girls, and some of us are very uncomfortable as we have to sit two in one seat. Miss Thomson, who has charge of the selling of the DOME in our room, and our Bank captain, Mr. Meinheimer, are striving to have 100 per cent. Mr. Kennedy, our official teacher, has charge of the Service Club over here in Annex 51, and is making a success of it. The club meets every Monday afternoon at 3 o'clock in Room 102. They have de- cided to hold a dance every other Wednes- day afternoon in the Kindergarten room, for Service Club members only. ROOM III Room III has a bunch of green freshies. There are 68 of us, and we,re all boys. Herchenroder must be a night watch- man, because he's always asleep in class. B. Fromberg didn't expect it, but he didn't Hunk any subject. He also did not have one ailment when he was examined by the doctor. Accidents will happen. R. Gillespie took a letter home, from Miss Slevin, about his brother. He came in the next day with a black eye. Mr. Polakowski is a good Bank captain, but he canit get a cent out of P. Cloke, P. Gillespie, R. Herman, and S. Kurz. Page Thirty-.fix T H E D OIWE R. Gillespie was a good G.O. captain, because he got 51 pupils out of 68 to buy a G.O. ticket. Bliss Slevin bought one also. lVIiss S.'s favorite saying: Give me your undivided attention. Harry Plampin and Ray Gillespie are trying for the track team. We hope they make it. ROOM 303 ln Room 303 we have a very progressive lot of boys and girls of the fourth term. Although none of them are in the Arista yet, I am sure that by the end of this term we will have many candidates. Of course you know I mean the Ulnvisible Arista. Fred QPinheadj YVeber, our class freak, has decided to continue school, and will not go with the Barnum and Bailey circus side- Show as he told us last term. T. Lennon, C. Lacroix, W. Kurz, and R. Howard are the smartest boys in the class, although B. Scantleberry is very close on their heels. Amongst the girls are R. VVinter, A. Schneider, and M. Wolf, while in the ofling are E. Sauter and Shaftel. Our bun-dusters Ccake-eatersj are R. Howard, alias VaSelino, and R. Hannan, VVally Reid the second. F. Steiner is taking care of the DOME and G.O.. while hi. Toughey is holding down the Bank. The class quartet is very popular. The bass is VV. Schluter and the barytone B. Scantleberry, while xl. Prichep is alto and L. Kaufman, our uproar singer, is the world-famed soprano. The Service Club, Annex 51 f'Keep to the right. The other stair- way, please. Such are the requests made by members of the Service Club, whose duty it is among others to regulate hall traflic. The purpose of this club is to help all and to serve the school. Since the club has been organized by Mr. Kennedy, the new member of Annex 51,8 faculty, conditions have greatly improved. The Work is Super- vised by room lieutenants and a captain. All the service is not confined to mere work. Every other week a social and dance is held to which everyone is welcome. The club now has a membership of 55 pupils. The officers are: Captain, C. Zer- Weckg Secretary, E. James, treasurer, R. Winter. THE FRED GRETSCH MEG. CO.

Dupraw was not graduated from the New York High School of Commerce until January, 1922, he has already placed his name in the shorthand hall of fame. In the National Shorthand Reporters' Association Connecticut, on August 24, young Dupraw completely Inore experienced opponents and amazed the judges N.S.R.A. speed certiiicates. These official certificates testihed that Dupraw minutes-three separate five-minute takes at 150, 175, literary matter, and that he had transcribed his notes Speed Contest held in New London, outdistanced many of his older and by carrying away with him three had written shorthand for fifteen and 200 words a minute-on solid on the typewriter with an accuracy of 98.3 per cent. In fact, on the 150 words-a-minute take-750 words-he made but four errors, which meant an accuracy of 99.5 per cent. Not so long ago a speed of 200 words a minute on difficult literary matter required years of study and practice, but young Dupraw gained a lap on the older members of his profession by learning Gregg Shorthand a system that enabled him to utilize his longhand training from the start. This Flying start-this running jump- gave him the encouragement and enthusiasm necessary to his success. This month Mr. Dupraw expects to enter college, where he will have a decided advan- tage over many of his classmates in being able to write down verbatim the lectures of his professors that others will be obliged to write in laborious longhand.
