This year has gone faster than most, they say. One hears the same comment at the close of a good entertainment, or a fast game of basketball. I believe this means that this year in our high school has been a better year than last year. or the year before that, or the year before that, and so on. We certainly should be thankful that this is fo, and no doubt we are. in a general way, But. to go farther than this, there must be caus.-s for the steady improvement which is being made in our high school, lf we pause long enough to figure out these causes, we shall be able to devote our attention more definitely to these factors another year, and thus to continue the improvement, Usually, when at boy or girl does not live up to the standards set for him. the blame is laid on the parents. We often hear it said that the faults of the children are the faults of the parents. llow frequently we hear this. Like father, like son or What more can you expect of her? Look at her mother. This year we have very little about which to com- plain, but a great deal in which to rejoice concerning the interest, good will. and industry of the students. lt is only fair, then, that we direct our first word of appreciation to the parents who have done so much toward making this a successful school year. The teachers apprtciate every word of encouragement which has been given the students at home. as well as every inquiry which has been made concerning the progress of the children in school. Speaking of interest serves to remind us of the unceasing attention of the board of directors to the work of maintaining the schools at their present high standard of equipment. Without good equipment the teachers work with the students is greatly hamperet. We members of the high school are therefore grateful to the school board for their devotioa to the cause of education. Another potent influence on the lives of the young people are the churches of Ridgway Probalfly at no time in the history of our community has so much valuable work been done by our Christian churches. Moreover, the Y. M. C. A.. a product of the church. with its young peoples' organizations has valiantly supported the work of the church and school. These great Christian institutions have had a large share in the success of this year's work in the high school. There isn't any right thinking person, who does not realize that the work of the teacher as well as the parent, would be immeasurably harder in a town where such splendid institutions were not a prominent part of the community life. As is always the case. there are some things which might be improved upon. Perhaps it is best to mention only one of these. On most Tuesdays, and every other Friday the high school meets for morning worship in the auditorium. Following the devotional exercises programs of a varied nature. Some arents have attended these assembly periods, and, we believe, have enjoyed them. We shoulil like to have a great many more parents and towns- people join us in these morning exercises. We know that you would be even ,more interested in the schools could you find time, now and then, to attend our assemblies. The old custom of visiting school seems to have fallen into discard. Might it not be a good idea to revive it somewhat? Next month there is to be a great exodus from our high school. The graduating class of over eighty people will make a big ap in our ranks, We are sorry to see them go. lt has been a pleasure to work with them for the past three years. The final appreciative word goes to you seniors from students and teachers alike when we thank you for your unfailing friendliness through these years. We trust that you, too, will return to visit us after your school days are over. D. D. PEIRCE S Cmsggs eww 9 'bg X mzfff-'X is Q -.... ,f QQ I 64: Q IK 35' Ii ww C?

The rest of the term was spent in accustoming ou1'selves to being in high school, and trying to rub off some of the greenness which the Sophomores claimed that we had. In the fall of the same year we became rea.l Freshmen, but we weren't the greenhorns that other Freshman classes were. On the first day of school, the Sophomores tried to give the Freshmen a swimming lesson in Gallagher Run, before the class was over, however, as many teachers were in the water as pupils. The class immediately entered into the social activities of the school, and the different organizations were fortunate in having some of us Freshmen as members. Our officers for the year were: President. Robert Williams, Vice-President, Corbin Tongren, Secre- tary, Elaine Isaacson, Treasurer, Gretchen Shanbacher, Adviser, Miss Margaret Clark. We were glad to return to school in the fall of 1925 for we were then full-fledged Sophomores. Our class, augmented to 125 students by the addition of 50 under-classmen, who were advanced when the ninth grade was abolished, was the largest one in the school, and of course the best. As Sophomores we held the first party of the year in the Gymnasium. Everybody enjoyed punch and doughnuts between dances. The class was represented in the other activities of the school. The class officers were: President, Mary Morgester, Vice-President, Robert Williams, Secre- tary, Floyd Walsh, Treasurer, Rachel Whelan, Adviser, Miss Jean Bell. Our Junior year was rather uneventful, except that we now convinced the teachers that we were, in addition to being the largest class, the brightest and cleverest. We held our share of the parties and held mem- berships in all of the school's organizations. Most of the class purchased high school rings at this time. The officers elected for the year were: President, Kenneth Romick, Vice-President, Anna Wanner, Secretary, Marion Black, Treasurer, Verna Isaacson, Adviser, Donald Peirce. We returned to Ridgway High for our last year, determined to make it the best of all. The Seniors formed the nucleus of the Glee Clubs, the Football and Basketball teams, the Hi-Y and Tri-Hi Clubs, and other or- ganizations, and, as in past years, we did not neglect our social life. Our officers for our Senior Year are: President, Stuart Jepson, Vice-President, Anna Wanner, Secretary. Marion Black, Treasurer, John Moore: Adviser, Donald Peirce. Out of about 125 students who entered High School as Sophomores, 88 are being graduated this year. We know that we have acquired wis- dom and have had experiences in our four years in Ridgway High School that will benefit us at a future time when we shall be all that our teachers, whose patience, teachings, and pains we appreciate more than we can say. have hoped us to be. 7 -Kenneth Romick. -4 LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT OF THE CLASS OF 1928 We, the Senior Class, of the Centennial High School in the city of Ridgway, county of Elk, and state of Pennsylvania, realizing that our days in this Temple of Learning are numbered, consider it just and fitting to make bequests to members of our beloved faculty, to whom we are deeply indebted, and to our fellow undergraduates who have yet to travel the rugged path of learning which we are about to relinquish. Therefore, being in a sane state of mind, we do hereby make and publish this our last will and testament, in manner and folm following, viz.: FIRST-TO THE FACULTY: To Miss Arnold: Webster's Dictionary fthe one with the broken backl. - To Miss Geary: A room temperature of 72 degrees.

To Miss Shanley: The ability to detect a gum-chewing student. To M'ss Strom: One edition of perfect History notebooks. To Miss Clark and Miss Whelan: An improved tandem for rapid transit to the Junior High. To Miss Sutton: An engraved copy of Number 208. SECOND--TO THE JUNIORS: To Margaret Shaw: That alto voice of Doris Kellam. To Mary Ann Curry: The taciturnity of Jane Taylor. To Chester Swanson: Reynold's popularity. To Margaret Golden: Josephine McClain's it , To Jack VanAken: Harry Zwald's solemnity. To Grace lVIaze: Anna Wanner's chewing gum. To James Daugherty: Duke McCauley's dukedom. To Kermit Hartland: Keith Whitehouse's moustache. To Robert Carlson: Stuart Jepson's oratorical ability. To Ruth Friedman: Rachel Whelan's blushes. To Paul Streich: Harry Olson's magnetism. To Mae Nelson: Katheryn Wollaston's giggle. To Arnold Schilk: Harold Fuhrer's basso profundo. To Louise Kissel: Ethel Frampton's typing awards. To the Juniors not above named: The attributes and virtues of the remaining Seniors. In witness whereof, in behalf of the class of 1928 we have hereunto subscribed our names this twenty-fourth day of April, in the year one thousandlgiine hundred and twenty-eight. fSea To To JOHN S.

H HI-Y CLUB The purpose of our club is: To create, maintain, and extend through- out the school and community, high standards of Christian Character. Our motto is embodied in the five Cys of Clean Living, Clean Speech, Clean Scholarship, Clean Athletics and Contagious Christian Character. A large class of candidates, chiefly underclassmen, have received the three degrees of Hi-Y Work. These candidates will form the nucleus of the club for the coming year. The Hi-Y is represented by its Gospel Team, which has been very active during the last term. The team conducted services in churches at Brockway, Emporium, Brookville, St. Marys, DuBois, Johnsonburg 121. Bradford and Ridgway. Its members are Stuart Jepson, Captain, James Dinger, Corbin Tongren and John Secor. The officers of the club are: President, James Dingerg Vice-President. Harold Fuhrerg Secretary, Carl Cedargreng Treasurer, Arthur Werner. The club is deeply indebted for its progress to its leader, Mr. V. F. Patterson.

Out of the eight games played, five were Won, one was tied, and two were lost. The fighting spirit was never lacking, and the clean, hard playing of the team showed a decided improvement over last year. The team was captained by William Gilliland and managed by Ralph Norton, assisted by Keith Whitehouse and Charles Harbridge. Mr. W. A. Clees proved very efficient in his role as coach. The letter men are Captain Gilliland, Reynold Swanson, Harold Fuhrer, John Eagen, William Larson, Ralph Johnson, Robert Carlson. Clair Blakeslee, Robert Abplanalp, and Carl Cedargreen.

I wonder if the witches fear sharp swords, I would they'd give me back the power to sleep. Tonight methought I show'd a fond regard Both fatherly and wise for you, my son, When I did aid in Banquo's sudden deathg E'en though my hired fellow-murderers Know not who helped them in their recent crime, Alas, I fear both ruin and confusion. I was certain I would be aiding you. Oh! Oh! I would that Banquo now might come To our great feast. Then all my fears would end, At least a part of them would be no more. Should Duncan also come to the banquet I would then always hold my high ambition A lighter quality than in the past, Forget my recent acts and happy beg Then would my heart from lead to feathers turn Ha! he is waking. Father, what is it? It grieves me much to see you drooping thus, Just think of all the glory you have won. You seem to be aweary of the world. Methought you were by now in gay company, Are you not needed in the banquet hall? Be not dismay'd, my son, to see me hereg You mother bade me see how you did rest After your injury this afternoon. O, father! it was nothingg I fell light- The horse never so much as touch'd me, But go to dineg make merry with your guestsg Why do you tarry here? I'm not in pain. No need for me to go just yet, my son, 48 Sf Lewis- Macbeth- Lady Macbe Macbeth- Lady Macbe bzp . i .ff gps? 1928-THE TATTLER-1928 It will grow late ere a.ll our guests arrive, But I will not disturb you, Sleep! Sleep! Sleep! I'm not fatigued, I pray thee, do not go If you are not yet needed, longer stay. Methinks our meetings are but few, of late, Since you have been acquiring so much fame- O, sweetest father, swells my heart with pride When'er I think of your great personage. Why it was but to-day that Banquo said- Ah, hush, my son, this new obta.ined honor Is not so easy on me as you think, Early tomorrow I would talk with thee In my own room-I. hear our guests without, And I must thither gog I bid thee rest 'Till this night's darkness turns to light of day- Then we'll converseg farewell Lewis, 'till dawn. J' -Helene Bowley. Act IV-Scene II. Forres--The Palace th- The hours flee, and still Macbeth returns not. I like not this seeking of the witches, What we have is ours, needless are their words To make us safe, further plot and planning Need not be. Profitless is ambition Gained without content. O, my weary soul! Enter Macbeth How now, my lord! Why troubled brow and mien Hast thou received from the Weird Sisters Prophecies which have aught of ill in them? The Weird Sisters gave me fair report, Yet in my mind lies a grave conviction That all has not been done for mine own kin, For Banquo's issue will be kings, it seems, Unhappy day, when Fleance did escape! But stay! Hast thou heard that the thane of Fife Has fled to England? th- Naught has been told me Of this new thing. Is it not better thus? You can breathe freely now the air of peace. 40 9 V 8-PHE TATTLER-19 i' Macbeth- Mayhap 'tis well, for him, at least, 'tis so. I have received grave warnings against him From apparitions strange. Had he not fled, I had laid hold of him with heavy hands To execute dire punishment on him. Lady Macbeth- Macbeth Your courage higher flames than it did of yore, Perchance it may cool e're your boasts are acts. Your countenance a.nd speech at our great feast Were sadly 'gainst you. Could you not be a man? Where was your courage then, which now you boast? Thou knowst not of what thou speak'st to me, The horror of that time you cannot know, Or blanch'd your cheeks had been with fear, like mine. But let us speak no more of delusions Which can recall naught but unpleasant thoughts. Courage have I nowg fail me it will not When comes again the time for me to act. Lady Macbeth-- Macbeth Thou speak'st wellg would thou could'st do as much, But let us have no more of petty plots That are unneedful. I do wish to sleep Undisturbed by frightful dreams and horrors. I leave you now, but dwell not on these things, Let them take flight with swift and sturdy wings. iExit Lady Macbethj Think on them, I mustg other I can not do, Macduff has fled. Yet even now the sword Shall not lie idle. His castle shall be seized, Unfortunate be those most dear to him. This will be doneg I have thus determined, My ardor will not flicker and die out Like a pale candle: rather, like a great flame Growing stronger, and consuming all That in its ever spreading pathway lies, Until it is a mighty conflagration Which confers sudden destruction on a.ll, So will my ardor grow by leaps and bounds. My power will I show to those who would Dispute it with me, for they bear me hatred. My mighty deeds shall show to all around That I do what I will, and go unharmed. QE:-:it Macbeth! So -Virginia Benson. W was THE TATTLER 1 -P THE MINIATURE WORLD WAR Five wooden soldiers still stood erect upon the table, but one poor fellow lay terribly wounded. He was a goner as Bull put it. Bull stood with gun aimed at the next one in line, but he did not shoot immediately. Again he made sure that the cork was properly placed., He raised the gun, placed his finger on the trigger, squinted one eye and was just about to pull on the trigger, when a voice came sweetly from the hall. Howard, dear, Russel is here to play with you. Ah, gee! Why did Mom have to be so soft? Bull ran out into the hall and called down the stairs to his friend. Come on, Slim. the enermy's jist about to retreat. With a leap and a bound Slim, who had been known as Russel until The Big Parade had come to town, was up the stairs a.nd beside his friend. Gee whiz, I perty nearly didn't git here, panted Slim, Mom was goin' to make me run errands, but I told her the general had ordered me to go over the top and then I beat it. We'd better hurry. The machine gun squad was getting in some nifty work when I left. Say, Slim, you'd better clean out that nest of Germans over there, while I tend to these guys advancin' on the east side. Be quick, we don't have time to lose if we're doin' our duty for Uncle Sam. Then the war began in earnest. Finally the steady pop of the gun and the frequent warnings of danger were interrupted when Mrs. Stephens opened the door. Bull turned toward her quickly with an expression of deep concern on his face. Clear out, Mom, war ain't no place for a woman. A smile flickered at the corners of her mouth, but she said gravely, I'm in a terrible predicament, and I was wondering if you soldiers would help me out. H'm, trouble again, but then a true soldier was never out of trouble. Well, what ? demanded Bull. Well, you see, I was about to make some ice cream for some very tired soldiers. when I discovered that I didn't have any ice, and I was wondering if I could get some soldiers to take the ambulance and go to the factory and bring some home. Well. ice cream was a little out of the way when it came right down to war, but since- Come on, Slim, we gotta help this Red Cross Nurse out. Sl -fo ' is z 'V me Gag eggs . gig 1928-THE TATTLER-1928 They hurried out of the house and got the wagon. Then down the street they went. A Ya know, said Bull, this war's a serious business. I don't intend to give up 'til we meet the Kaiser and he IS ou1's. Do you, Slim ? All this time the wagon Was gaining speed as it went down the street. Finally the corner drew near. Around the corner on two wheels, then over it went. Bull landed in the ditch, and Slim was spraw-ed gracelessly over the sidewalk. H'm, jist like them dirty Germans to pull a. trick like this, when a fellow was on a mission of mercy. Bull stood up and limped back to the sidewalk. Slim had already re- covered his equilibrium and stood rubbing a badly skinned nose. Gee, you're lucky that bullet jist shaved your nose, said Bull, you might have had the whole thing shot off. But there was no time to lose with the war still going on, and ice cream in the making. When the ice was at last delivered at the house, the boys once more returned to active service for their country. But rest assured that they were sent back from the front just in time to eat some of the ice cream. Dinner time arrived, and Slim was sent to Paris with a very important dispatch. Not that the dispatch was necessary, but he had been ordered to return home in time for dinner. For the rest of the day the Army was separated, each part still fight- ing valiantly, however. That night as Mrs. Stephens tucked Bull into bed, he turned to her and said, The general didn't give you any important messages for me. did he? No, said his mother as she stooped to kiss him, but he did say ta be up early in the morning. Oh, sure, replied Bull, I don't expect to get much sleep anyway. with this thing weighing on my mind. His mother turned out the light and shut the door. Slowly his eyes began to close. Ah well, a fellow might as well sleep if he could, maybe the armistice would be signed tomorrow and his work finished, but his last thought was-'Tm yours, Sammy, use me until them Germans beg for mercy. -Jane Taylor. 7 WPS 1928-THE TATTLER-1928 MUSINGS O thoughts, that fly through my tired mind, Bring not sad memories back to meg Bring not mistakes that I have made, That are, perhaps, past remedy. But bring to me the joys of youth, The happy moments of my life, Bring back achievements of success, And not dim moments of the strife. Successes urge, but failures halt Life's battle in this warg So let me hear of victories won, And of defeats no more. Onward and up may some success Urge me, till life's dim fall Finds me prepared to meet my God, And answer His last call. -Robert Williams. GUMMING SESSIONS Jo, for the last time I'm telling you to send those nuts home and come to bed. It's two-thirty! Everyone quickly caught up a hat and coat and noiselessly left. I put out the lights and tiptoed upstairs. Thus ended a most interesting gum- ming session on religion. Thanksgiving night a crowd of us left the dance at eleven o'clock to get some coco colas and dldlft return until one. The reason ? A Hgummmg session c1'ept up on us unawares. Have you ever attended a Hgumming session ? If you haven't you really don't know what you've missed. They're terribly absorbing. Every one sits around and says just what he thinks, so you see one actually does hear some startling things. The sessions are not restricted as to num! bers. Sometimes there are only two of us, and other times there is a crowd. Life, love, religion and evolution seem to be the most important topics just at present, but other subjects are also duly brought up, settled, and dismissed. Among these are books, plays, movies and music. Since so many of the gummers have been away to school, great arguments as to 53 'W UXYMQWQLWKB' W' W s THE TATTLER 199 ' who has the best Alma Mater are evolved. The arguing is always heated, loud and long, but no hard feeling develops. Personally, I enjoy these Hgumming sessions. It's interesting to air one's ideas and to hear some one else's on the same subject. I suppose the true psychology of Hgumming sessions' popularity is the fact that everyone enjoys hearing himself talk. -Josephine McClain. AN ATHLETE IN EMBRYO Ah! The bell for gym! I joyfully thrust my Latin book into my desk, for now I am on my way to become a second Babe Ruth. As I rush hur- riedly into the locker room, I remember that I have left my foot-pads or what I call sneaks in my room. Back I sprint, only to find that the class has begun. I control myself admirably, however, for as Charlie Paddock says, The more haste the less speed. I dash back into the locker room, where I further exercise my leg, arm and neck muscles, by trying to dis- cover an unused pair of sneaks. My labors seem in vain, and I am about to give up in despair, when I find a pair of old, ragged, dilapidated ones in the waste basket. 'I try them on and find that they are big enough for two boys my size, but, nevertheless, I jump into them, lace them up as best I can, and just as Mr. Clees blows the whistle for roll-call, I take my place in line, puffing and perspiring, but outwardly composed, bearing a mien of superior dignity, as becomes the future star of the Pirates. -Mack Weaver. NOVEMBER BEAUTY A sunset red behind the leafless trees, The first snowfall, which turns the world pure white. Exhilarating gusts of wind that come To sweep earth fresh and clean for our dull sight. A pine tree green against the somber brown And colors dark on hillsides brown and bare, A child's fresh, rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes, The hum of telephone wires in the air. An open fire's enchanting flare and flame, A happy wayside brook's clear, tinkling sound, The harvest moon's cold light-all these are Bits of November beauty I have found. -Virginia Benson. 54 Q55 C325 1928-THE TATTLER-1928 MUSIC AT TWILIGHT At twilight music has a deeper meaning to me than at any time during the day. Dusk seems to have a mystical power that brings out the fullness in the simplest collection of notes. I like to sit at the piano with no light about me but the glow of the setting sun. Then, I let the imagination wander and, behold, I am no longer at the instrument-a great master is there. He begins to paint the sunset Within the room, not with glowing colors, rather with tones, first making me hear and then see the bright bands of red and yellow light, then as he goes eastward in the sky. little grace notes and trills show fainter touches of color. His painting is com- p ete. The darkness deepens. The gifted fingers strike a few notes in the center of the keyboard, then go down the scale with little variations: and then,-a sonorous burst comes from the bass, and the sounds like big black shadows fall upon me. The master plays on 2-first, a light and frivolous number, then a joy- ous little melody changing gradually into a night song, solemn as the night itself. The music ceases, and the glorious sounds die. The master and the music have vanishedg and I am alone in the thickening twilight. -Corbin Tongren. CLOUD BOATS Lie on your back some afternoon, And watch the clouds float by, Like ships upon a mighty main With sails out-spread they fly. Brigantines that lived long years ago, Galleons full of gold, English ships from the Spanish Main, With treasure in their hold. And one can see the treasures, too, Captured by sword and gun, Just when the evening leaves the sky, Tinted by setting sun. --John Williams. 77 ' 8 THE TATTLER 1 0 ' A CHEMICAL ROMANCE Once upon a time there lived in Chemistry-land a sweet little atom named Chlorine. Since in this country no one leads a single life after he is of age fin fact the laws compel every atom to marry at least oncej she married her girl-hood sweet heart when she was still young. He was a fine, upstanding youth named Hydrogen who made the promise of being an excellent husband and good provider. Mr. and Mrs. Hydrogen Chloride, for that was their married name. were ideally suited to one another. Indeed, they were so closely affiliated that they immediately took their position in an active circle of molecular society. Unfortunately while they were swimming one day Cthey always used the name of hydrochloric acid while in the wateri their happiness was cruelly shattered by the approach of a dastardly villain named Sodium. He was an exceedingly handsome atom with bold, black eyes and the tiniest, most graceful mustache imaginable. He was not scrupulous, how- ever, and did not hesitate to separate Chlorine from her faithful husband. He so infatuated poor little Chlorine that she agreed to divorce her first love. The separation was only accomplished through terrific uproar. the noise and shock of which were felt by all who were about them. When the affair had quieted down Chlorine and Sodium took their places among the common molecules as Mr. and Mrs. Salt. Poor Hyrogen, bereft of his wife, wandered aimlessly about until he met another Hydrogen atom who had had a similar experience, and to- gether they began a new life as a nomad molecule. To return to the infamous pair, strange to say, they lived a life of comparative happiness in their humble station. One day their punishment for havingcaused so much sorrow and confusion in the world overtook them. They were walking unconcernedly along when they were attacked by a molecule of Ammonium Hydroxide in which the atoms greatly out- numbered the culprits. They were overcome and their captors disolved them, a terrible fate, for their identity was lost and although they were not destroyed, they were held in fierce enchantment to the end of their days. -Elnor Munson. BEFORE MY FIRE In evenings cold when I get home With ears so numb, so red my nose. And fingers stiff, frost-chill'd. wind-blown, I haste my bed-room door to close. 56 It's then I like to build a llreg And in my charcoal'd, roomy grate The glowing ashes I stir higher, And chips I add and logs full weight. I like to sit and contemplate About the the things I've done tha.t day: To see if all was for my sake, Or done to smooth a friend's hard way. Then I'm content, there comes o'er me A warm repose, sweet joy, true rest. My drowsy eyes just dimly see, My head sinks low upon my chest. And objects fade before my sight, As soon I dozeg I know no more. And thus I sleep the whole, long night Before the warmth inside my door. -Kenneth Romick. THE JOYS OF AN OPEN CAR I have recently viewed with dismay, the passing of the vigorous sport of riding in an open car for the more sheltered pastime of riding in a.n upholstered sun parlor. It is like a football player deserting the football squad to enter a croquet tournament. The first quality that I would recommend to the prospective buyer of an open car is the speed at which it can be loaded and unloaded, especial- ly if he has four or five children. One sound of the horn will have the family on the front porch putting on their wraps, and by the time he has driven a block they will be completely settled. On returning home one of the children can be put out and have the front door unlocked before the car has been brought to a standstill. Anyone can plainly see that a great deal of time would be saved in this manner. The second cluality to recommend is the freedom it gives the owner in showing off his home town to a relative or friend from a foreign land. He is able to strike a much more artistic pose, and his gestures in pointing out the important places are much more graceful and sweeping. Another sport that the closed car is doing away with is hat-chasing. No ride is complete unless at least one hat has been carried away by the wind. This sport offers entertainment for the spectators as well as for the participant. who must be skilled in the art of dodging in and out among the on-coming cars. 7! 'W 91.31515 fn' V s-THE TATTLER-1 A much more novel costume may be worn in the touring car. In winter weather, with the addition of a bright scarf and an extra sweater or two, the motorist presents a very colorful picture. The insidious habit of backseat-driving is done away with after the first few rides in an open car, for, if the car is going at a reasonable rate of speed, the advice from the rear is wafted away by the wind. After a few more attempts, this pest will tire of hearing himself talk and will fiinally give up the practice that has caused the downfall of many a good river. I hope that you appreciate now the great benefits derived from this invigorating mode of travel, and will do all in your power to keep the open car from becoming obsolete. -Rachel Whelan. THE WOOD THRUSH The sun of a beautiful October day was slowly lowering itself into the outstretched limbs of the great poplar tree on the summit of the western ridge. Here and there long rays of sunshine fell between the trees upon the leaf-covered floor of this great autumn tinted forest. The soft rustle of the new fallen leaves underfoot as I slowly walked homeward. gag the only sound to break the tranquility of this majestic temple of 10 . Suddenly, deep in a carpeted glen, the stillness was broken by the most beautiful musical sound I had ever heard,-lively and engaging, but yet, soft and sweet, blending into the quietude and peacefulness of the place. It was the song that the immortal Peter Pan might have played on his magic flute. I crept softly over the new-fallen leaves towards the spot whence this delightful, rippling song was flowing. There, perched among the multi-colored leaves, on the top-most branch of a large maple, its half-opened beak turned towards the crimson of the setting sun, its soft, speckled throat quivering and throbbing, sat a small, brown bird. Its whole heart and soul seemed to go into this celestial song-a most fitting farewell to a dying day. ' -Richard Zurfluh. CAESAR On the rockiest and meanest cotton patch in the fair state of Missouri dwelt two staid, old bachelors-Mose Green and his venerable partner, Caesar. Caesar, may it be known, was a mule of the variety common to that section of our country. He was long and lean, with lanky and knobby legs. a tail like a house-mo-p, and ears that were even more extenuated and limp than is common to his cursed breed. But morally and mentally Caesar 58 'N' 10-as THE TATTLER 100 ' far surpassed his brethren, for, from long association with a. holy man 1Mose was the proud parson of the Fiery Chariot colored churchl he had developed a proper sense of right and wrong, and the name of Caesar was ever dear to his bosom Qmulish as it wash. For instance, if anyone offended his four-hoofed majesty, he, sooner or later, would be eating his meals from a mantel, with, perchance, the dainty shoe p1'ints of Caesar indelibly fixed upon his mind, and for a lesser, but more painful, period upon some tender spot of his body. Caesar and Mose were very congenial, and had many similar traits and likenesses. Besides being of a rather dusky hue, both had an instinctive aversion to the Demon Work in any form. As a. consequence the farm suffered sadly. They would begin bravely in the morning, but, when the sun became hot, Caesar would suddenly decide that his delicate constitu- tion would stand no more, and no amount of cursing or beating on Mose's part thalf-hearted to be surel could turn his stubborn head. The big Hmeetin' was their harbor of safety and their Mecca.. While Mose was heating the brethren and sistern to the amen temperature, Caesar would converse with his old cronies upon politics, labor, and the rights of mules in general. If, as often happened, his superior knowledge was not accepted and admitted, he would strengthen his argument with good, common mule sense-and the meeting would be broken up for the night. Mose's nearest neighbor was Elijah Shrew. Now it happened, late in August, and just after big meetin ' that Lize's mule broke into the feed bag, and was found next day dead from cholic, having eaten the first good meal in its life. Lize, who had some plowing to do, hired Caesar, who was accordingly driven to Lize's farm, and hooked to the plow. But Caesar did not feel working fit that morning. In the first place had he not lobedient servant as he wasl been hired out like a common beast of burden and thereby deserted by Mose and so made a mourner? We have said that Caesar had a keen sense of right and wrong, and in the present case it was entirely against his set views on propriety to do any work, however slight. Then, too, his honor would stand for no such insult as being hired. Besides, Lize did not understand Caesar's peculiar and touchy make-up. For example, he fed Caesar fodder-and that worthy worked only when fed corn, he put the harness on so that it rubbed-and Caesar considered himself highly abusedg and finally, he did not know the endearing terms with which Mose was wont to address his stubborn charge. and without which Caesar would not budge. Is it any wonder that Caesar would not work? He would go a. few rods, lay his ears back and stop. Finally he came to a complete standstill. Lize's patience, limited at the best, was now ex- hausted. Sit up dar, you d-d, club-hoffed, son of a debbil! Whar at yo -30 'fv X W I4 'W' C ' 3-THE TATTLER-1 gone and balked? You is de mos' onery, low-downed 'scuse fo a mule Ah ebber done see! To this pointed speech Caesar paid not the slightest at- tenhion, and Lize, having beat and cursed in vain, resorted to the last resource of downtrodden and balked muliteers-that of building a small fire close to the rebel's hinder portions. ' Caesar's honor was again trampled in the dust, and his sense of touch outrageously abusedg but he considered wisdom the better part of valor. And so, after he had expressed his feelings in a series of brays, interspersed with random kicks, he settled down to work. But by now his distaste to Lize, was changed to flaring antipathy. He decided, after due deliberation, that only revenge would wipe out the stain thus placed upon his name. That afternoon he threw several shoes at Lize in lieu of a glove: but that dusky knight, unversed in the ways of chivalry, did not accept the challenge. Caesar's just cause seemed lost, but near evening his oppor- tunity came. It so happened that a deep stream of cool water ran through the so- called meadow where Caesar was pastured during his hectic stay at Lize's. That evening, for the fates smiled on Caesar, Lize stooped to drink. The next moment, impelled by Caesar's powerful battering rams, he was flung into the icy water head foremost, and as he could not swim, the welkin rang with his cries, which were not lessened when one of his digits was seized by a lusty snapper. Caesar, when he had viewed his handiwork for should it be hoofworkl strolled contentedly home, his honor unsmirched and his name once more feared and respected. -Killian Woltz. . - A J- 1 00 wg?

The work is hard, but I am enjoying it. The most noticeable thing about college is the apparent scarcity of good marks. Poor marks become tiresome. The course in Mathematics is especially difficult. h Ralph L. Ericsson. I am attending the H03 Business College at Warren, Pa., a.nd enjoy my work every minute.

Stop and listen, dear friends, I have something to tell. I work at Centennial High School And for Messrs. Arnold and Bell. Anna Carlson. I am in one of the finest ideal small colleges. St. J'ohn's is located in Annapolis, directly across the street from Uncle Sam's Naval Academy, on a beautiful campus of twenty-seven acres. My work is most enjoyable and centers around a liberal arts educa- tion. It is, however, right difficult and necessitates much hard labor, without which no success is ever achieved. Robert D.

It is the only way to keep young upstarts of Freshmen in their places. 2. Don't look intellectual. It is too much of a strain. Anyway, the teachers know better. 3. Hand in your Senior Essay late. Miss Arnold won't mind since it's your last year. 4. Chew gum at all times. Don't let the teachers take it away from you--they want it themselves. 5. Sing in the halls. The harmony is delightful. 6. Mark up the walls. The result is SO artistic. 7. Above all, Seniors, never do today what you can do tomorrow. - Peggy Maze.
