Dedication To student publications 'which chronicle the events of our school days, giving us a con- tinuous picture of the life and activity about us, as a sign of our interest and appreciation, we, the students of Rochester High School, dedicate this issue of the R0cliet. Merton Cowan STANDARDS OF IOURNALISM OURNALISM is one of the most moving forces among the people today. It is a strong connecting link between all countries, however distant. It is not only an apostle of peace but a promoter of war. It is a builder of nations. It is vital in reducing crime and advancing the welfare of the human race. A newspaper is a public trust. It is responsible for presenting the daily events fully, accurately, and truthfiilly. To use its power in furthering selfish mo- tives is violating the faith and trust placed in it by its readers. The press stands for impartiality, fair play, and independence. It is with these ideals in mind that journalism in Rochester High School is carried on to the best of the students' ability, both in the magazine and newspaper publication work. The Rochet stands for the promotion of all school activities from the seventh to the twelfth grade. To represent impartially all organizations, grades, departments, curriculum studies, and teachers is the aim of the staff Likewise, in their co-operation with the paper, they strive to present the daily news in an accurate and truthful manner to the best of their knowledge. well liked instruc dent admirers s in hi Miss Ethel King 11.11 .Heflzlfrz Small, indeed, is the numher of stu- dents who are not acquainted with Miss lithel King, this year's acting head of the ling- lish department and director of vo- cational guidance in Rochester lligh school.

Saturday mornings and vacation seldom mean sleepl' for the journalists, for at least two of the school reporters have to collect locals from S200 till 9:30 and then have them typed by 10:15. How many of you really understand the arrangement between the Post-Bulletin and the high school? At the Minnesota High School Press As- sociation convention in St. Cloud this fall, the delegates learned that R. H. S. is the only school in Minnesota and one of the few in the United States that is actually paid by a newspaper for the services of its re- porters. For all of the local news items and school notes sent to the Post-Bulletin from the school, S20 a week or a total of S780 for a school year, is received by the high school treasury for Hnancing the Rochet. Last year, the Rochet was graded in class A, at the National Publication Con- test. George Gallup, secretary-treasurer of Quill and Scroll, national high school jour- nalistic society, said that the appearance of the Rochet is professional rather than high schoolish . Most of you know of the complete change the Rochet underwent, beginning last year. The new system was introduced by the journalism teacher of last year, Miss Doris Trott. The new type of magazine was the first of its kind in high schools in the country, but the system is being taken up by many schools. By combining the features of the 'fCrucible , the former monthly literary magazine, and those of the 'tRochet , the annual, the new baby Rochetu was introduced. Besides their writing for the Post-Bulle- tin, spending evenings making up the dum- my , and organizing material and cuts, the journalism students must be ready to go to the most convenient place, usually the high school, for reading proof before saying a final O, K. to the printer, to be sure things are as nearly correct as pos-sible. In addition to their activity in news, all the students of journalism are members of the national honorary journalism society, Quill and Scroll. Like other clubs, meet- ings are held once each six weeks. Spon- sors of the club are Miss Ethel King, Oliver Nordly, and the journalism teacher, Miss Margaret Owen.

Standing through the ages, they acquire a vast knowledge, unequaled by that of any human. Here is the autobiography of a northern pine tree told just before the tree was cut down and sent on its way to a Sas- katchewan lumber mill. I have lived here at the roof of the world for centuries, the only green thing for miles around in this God-forsaken Arctic land. Residing near the North Pole for so many years, I can relate many interesting experi- ences. Many years ago-about the year 1000-I saw coming toward me an odd creature that l later learned was a man. He came alone in a small boat, and he was accompanied by two lean, hungry-looking dogs. This was the first Polar land explorer, Izzy of the Green Shawl, that fearless Viking from Pal- estine. He left soon, and for a long time I saw no other man. Then one day a tiny ship appeared. It was manned by a motley crew of men who were starved and half mad. This boat was commanded by Frobisher, the great English explorer. Henry Hudson came next. XYorking in the interests of the Dutch, he and his small son had been set adrift in the Arctic waters in an old, leaky vessel. In this ship, the Half-Moon, he tried in vain to find a north- easterly passage to China. I grew older, as things have a habit of doing, and I became tall and majestic. My boughs stretched high into the Arctic airg I was a large tree, a fitting monument for the top of the world. Centuries went by again before I saw Peary and his negro com- panion, Matt Hensen, come to my land in 1909. They trudged behind a lean, gaunt team of half starved and half frozen dogs. So wild with joy at reaching the pole be- cause it had been his life-long ambition to do so, Peary seemed mad, and when he left, he was the happiest man I have ever seen. From that time on, visitors followed in rapid succession. First came Amundsen, fa e It Was Byrd in His Giant Plane once by dog team, but years later by plane, and finally by dirigible. I know where his body can be found now. He lost his life, as you know, while he was hunting for Nobile, that Italian aceg but let him be, for he is resting in the land he loved. Amundsen was followed by MacMillan, the leader of the best prepared expedition ever to enter my realm. The last section of Nobile's ill-fated dirigible came close to my domain, and I could tell you now where the mangled bodies of his men and the inside of his ship are waiting to be discovered. In 1926 I saw my last explorer. He was none other than Commander Richard Byrd in his great plane, the Josephine Ford. He circled me and then flew away into the dis- tance. Now after centuries of life I find myself willing to die. I know the North, its mys- tery, its secrets, it glamour, and I have seen the progress of man up through the years, so I go to my doom happily. Page Sezwr, AUTOBICGRAPHY OF A KITTEN By James Punderson, ,33 Purr! Purr! Purr! NVhat a nice, com- fortable sound, I thought as I pawed and scrambled my way out of a tangle of hot, furry bodies. Dear me, continued my mother's soft voice. I shall have a task training so many new kittens. Vlihat a fine lot they are-the best I ever had. I am glad the chauffeur made us such a cozy nest, here in this box in the garage. It is still cold and snowy outside, but my babies will be warm. I hope that dog Jack won't bother us. Purr. Ouch, I wailed as I gave a lurch and hit my head on the side ot the box. My mother gently pushed me back with my brothers where I had my first breakfast and went to sleep. XYe were all blind for several days, but I was the first to get my eyes open. I shall never forget the first glimpse I had of Jack, the dog. He stuck his big, brown headin- to the box and sniffed at us. F-f-f-ft! Ffffff! Vlfe turned into hissing, little spithres when we saw him. jack only grinned because he knew mother was gone. just then mother ilew in like a streak of lightning and landed on Mr. jack's head with every claw. jump- ing cat-tails! How that dog did howl! I donit wish to brag, but I am the clever- est kitten of the whole bunch, you know. I was first to get my eyes open, nrst to get out of the box, hrst to learn to purr, and I'm going to be first to-catch-my-own-tail. There! I almost had it that time! I had an adventure yesterday. I slipped out of the garage and raced across the gar- den. I was having a line time when a little girl swooped down on me and caught me by the tail. She carried me into the house. Her mother gave me a saucer of warm milk and showed her how to carry me properly. I was certainly glad that I was smart enough to purr for them. I'm going again tomorrow if-Did you see that tail wiggle? Excuse me, please. I'1l-get-it-yet! HOW I WRITE A THEME By Gordon Fawcett, '31 My troubles were over. The only home work I had left to do was to write a theme. Desirous of seeing my work in the Rochet , I decided to take great pains and care with this theme. just as I was on the verge of snatching a dandy title out of the air, some one had to turn the radio on. And according to human nature, I started to berate that some one, who happened to be my sister. No sooner had I begun to do so, however, than I re- ceived a lecture from my father on the pro- per respects due one's sister. After this half hour's interruption, I had started to begin again, when I was disturb- Paye Eight ed by my younger brother's pleas to help him with a hard arithmetic problem. Grouchily, I assented. I had no more than completed this task when I was sent out to the store for some aspirin. After I had hur- ried back, I again prepared to write my theme. Sitting there, sucking the end of my pen and gazing at the ceiling, I endeavored in vain to think of a title. And then the door bell rang. Enraged, I got up to answer it. Alas! it was my chum who wanted to take me for a ride. Promising myself to get that theme during study hour the next morning, I grabbed an aspirin for my whirling head and was off. GET RICH QUICK By William Schacht, ,SO Almost everybody has heard of some get rich quick scheme. Maybe you have been a sticker yourself. If you have, you are 11ot the only one. For every day some smart and clever salesman is out trying to sell some Uhuml' stock, and every day some per- son is falling and thinking himself lucky to get in on such a money making proposition. There are the old gold brick plan, bum oil well stock, gold mines out on the plains of Abraham, the plan to drain the Pacific and get Captain Kidd's sunken treasures, and selling land under the sea down in Flor- ida. You have heard of all these, but here is something new. The pamphlets of a new company are just out. The Cat-Rat Com- pany addresses you in this way. Very dear friend: W'e want you to know that this billion dollar making proposition is offered to only one in your community. You are the lucky one. XVe chose you because President Hoover, who is a very heavy stockholder in our corporation, recommended you to us. He said that you were a personal friend of his and that he wanted you to get in on the money. Even if Henry Ford lived in your community, you would be the only one of- fered this opportunity. Don't read one word further unless you are interested in yachting on the South Seas, wintering down in Florida, and light- ing your cigars with one hundred dollar bills, for those are but a few of the pleasures you will be experiencing in less than a year after your investment. But you want to know how you are going to make all this money. All right, here is the plan with the following slogan:- Rats make catsg Cats make rats, Cats and rats make money for you. On the outskirts of Reno we have se- lected a beautiful piece of desert land. Here we will have our pens. It will cost us nothing, since no one owns it, and no one uses it. First we will stock our farm with rats and mice. This will be very simple because everybody will be glad to get rid of their old rats and will send them to us joyfully. Again the cost will be nothing. Now it is a well known fact that cats eat rats, and that cats are attracted to rats by their odor, so the supplying of cats will be simple. The cats will be attracted from all parts of the world to our farm by the odor of the rats. XX'hen they arrive we will place them in pens, the cost is still nothing. When we have the cats nice and fat from the meat of the rats, we will kill them and sell their lovely furs for enormous sums. They are now selling for 39998, but we will have a monopoly and will be able to raise the priee up to S100 per hide. How are we going to feed the rats? That's simple. Vile will feed them the dead eats. The cost is still nothing. Now we have a block of 5000 shares saved for you. XYe want to pay you 1,00--H Of course I know you would like to hear more about the proposition, but I lost the rest of the pamphlet. Sorry. .,R.... MAN'S GIFT TO BEAUTY Magic-the melody that ripples from in- spired fingers! A soft low murmuring like the sea at sunset, Or high and shrill, the north wind's bluster- ing echo. Sweet, whispering lullabies that linger gently Within one's consciousness. Plaintive, sad melodies from gypsy campiires, Proud, stirring marches that make feet impatient. Vvho can forget the swelling deep re-echo- ing of the organ's voice- The breathless whispering of silvery harp- strings- Or the clear sweetness of the clarinet or flute- Sharp, searching notes of master Violinsg the wild reply Of thousands of band instruments? Music Makes life an interesting adventure. -Haizel Olson, '31 Page Nine SHOPPING ALONE Hy fllargnret Sfozeell, ,Sl The first time I was allowed to go down town alone was the most thrilling, adven- turous, yet embarrassing and nerve-racking day that I have ever spent. I had my own money and was going to do some shopping. I set joyfully about it. I bought ridicu- lous things, lost some money, asked clerks foolish questions, and looked and stared at things as I had never dared to do before. By the time I had completed my first adven- ture, l was quite loaded down with little ten cent and quarter articles. Next I went to the show. It took me fully hve minutes to get my ten cents out of my pocket, and all the time I could hear the sarcastic remarks of the people waiting be- hind me. XYhen I linally got into the lobby, I breathed a sigh of relief, but as I turned to enter the show, I felt a package slipping. I about doubled myself up trying to turn around to put it under my arm, but at the same moment three other packages fell. XYhen I stooped to pick them up, I imagine I looked as old Hepzibah in The House of the Seven Gables did when she tried to pick up the marbles she had spilled in her small cent shop. I could feel the heat rush to my face as I saw all the people looking at me, some laughing, but others saying, That's that pesky little kid that kept us waiting outside. Good enough for her. As it was dark and quite late when I left the theater, I decided to take a bus. I was nearly exhausted when I reached one. I handed my last quarter to the driver and waited for my change. First he looked at it, then at me, and again at the quarter. I heard some snickering from the people in the bus, but I thought that my quarter was as good as anyone's, so I didnyt say anything. Then the driver asked, HXYIICYC are you going? Home, I replied. ' XYell, where do you live ? he inquired. On Seventh Avenue, I told him. Then he, too, started to laugh, and said, I'm sorry, miss, but this' bus goes to Chat- field. Friday the Thirteenth? Not Quite! By Hubert Crown, '33 Ding, dong, ding, dong, ding, dongg ding, dongf, Hubert! shouted' my Mother. It!s eight o'clock, and you know it isnlt Satur- day. At this I dressed hurriedly and dashed for my bicycle. I started on it with a jump, but boom! A flat tire! Dropping it with a bang, I started run- ning. ,Soon I was at Broadway and right past the stop sign, not noticing it. A shrill Whistle came from a nearby policeman. He gruffly demanded me to obey the law, and after he had given me a lecture on traffic regulations, I was sent on my way. I enter- ed the school room on the run just as the bell went brr-r-r. Hubert, said my teacher, 'fwill you Page Ten please hand in your report card ? XYhy-er I guess--aWI must have for- gotten it,', I stammered. f NYell, as this is the third day since you were given it, you will have to go to Miss NYhiting's office. Because this was my third offense at for- getting, my knees shook as I made my way to the ofhce. Forgetting again! XYell, an hour after school each night for a week may cure you of that,' Miss NYhiting told me. As I turned to leave, she called, Young man, whatys that in your pocket ? Fortunately for me, it was my card, and it was signed. Mother must have remembered it. School seemed quite a pleasant place after all.

THE RO C H E T Jun :wry qw.. i. l'rl-111' 7v7l'l'lIf'1l-ff7'P Mid -Winter Athletics Hy Jlerfon Cowan, '30 Basketball :Xt the end of the football season, daily basketball workouts were started with about thirty men out for the initial prac- tice session. All sizes were represented among the vet- erans as well as the new material. Mem- bers of last year's squad who are back this year are Don Fredrickson, Ray Briese, Vvalt- er Richman, Ronald Forrest. Clarence Alex- ander. and Captain Harold llannenberger. .-Xlthough the men are not so large as those on most teams, they have plenty of speed and will probably be among the lead- ers in the Big Flight Conference. Lewiston 123 Rochester 14 The locals opened their basketball season by winning a close game from Lewiston. The game was featured by Rochester's strong defensive play. Many of their passes, however, went wild. The Lewiston five did not work together so well as the locals but displayed much flashy individual play. Lewiston opened the scoring soon after the tipoff, and the lead changed hands often during the game with never more than three points between the teams. Lewiston held the lead at the end of the first, second, and third quarters, but Roch- ester staged a late rally to count four points and win the game. Alexander was high point man for Roch- ester with eight points, while Fredrickson played the best all around game, scoring six tallies and playing Well on the defense. Kessler played an outstanding game for Lewiston. Lewiston 105 Rochester 14 The Nordlymen proved their superiority over the Lewiston players when they re- peated their feat of a week earlier and downed the jestus team, 14-10, on Decem- ber 13. The locals had lost all traces of stage fright which they showed in the season op- ener and handled the ball better. They Page Twlmfy-six used a slow but effective offense while the opponents tried to speed up the game. Alexander opened the scoring, giving Rochester a lead which was never overcome. All of the Rochester players helped with tallies while only three of the opponents were able to count. The locals played a strong defensive game, and all but one of the Lewiston bas- kets were made on long shots from past the foul line. Kasson 113 Rochester 18 Rochester won its second home game of the season by defeating Kasson, 18-11. Briese was easily the star for the home team when he played well on both the of- fense and defense. He garnered 11 of his team's 18 points and broke up many of the opponent's passes. YYiegand, Hargesheimer, and Richman were sent in as subs and showed up well. The Kasson team got few shots because of the close guarding of the locals. Roches- ter's offense, however, was -weaker than usual. Kasson 63 Rochester 16. Rochester continued its winning streak and easily captured a return game from Kasson, 16-6. The locals got off to an early lead which was never overcome by the QI ohnsonmen. The Red and Blacks continued to play the strong defensive game which they have used all season. The opponents used a strong offense and watched for chances to break. They could not get within close range of the basket, however, and were able to seore from the floor only twice. Briese was high point man with seven points while Fredrickson played the best all around game for Rochester. Wrestling A total of 46 students signed up for wres- ling and appeared for the first workout on November 20. The candidates were especially plentiful in the lighter weights although there was T H E R O C H E T January, IIIJU good material in all classes. Captain Gor- don Henson, joe Edwards, and Russell Em- bury were the only lettermcn of last year who returned. New Hampton 17g Rochester 12 The Rochester wrestling team dropped its opening match to New Hampton, lowa, by a count of 12-17. ln the first three bouts, A. lfmbury, R. limbury, and Rommel each dropped three points by decisions. XYolfe lost five points on a fall in the next bout, the only fall on the card. Rochester came back in the next three matches when Renaux, Campbell, and Ed- wards won decisions for a total of nine points. Thornton dropped the next three points to his opponent, and Captain Ben- son took a decision to add three more points for the locals. Cresco 23g Rochester 10 Rochester's grapplers lost their second meet of the season to Cresco, Iowa, 10-23. lt was the local's ninth defeat in as many starts with Cresco in the five years the team has existed. In the opening match, A. Embury lost three points. His brother Russell Embury turned the tables in the next event, how- ever, and won Eve points on a fall. Rommel, Anderson, Campbell, Reneaux, and Edwards lost decisions to bring the opponents' score up to 18. Captain Benson pinned his man to add live points for the locals, but Thornton lost five in the next bout. Thornton, wrestling in the heavyweight class, was outweighed fully 40 pounds. He nearly pinned his opponent at the first of the match, but Henning wriggled out and threw Thornton with but a few seconds to go. Cresco 93 Rochester 28. For the first time in the history of the Rochester wrestling team, the Red and Blacks defeated the Cresco, Iowa, grapplers. Five falls and one decision ran the local's total to 28 as compared to 9 for the oppo- nents. The lowans won the lirst match for a three point lead but lost it in the next event, never to regain it. After R. limbury won his match, the whole Rochester squad was lilled with a fight which couldn't be beaten. Rommel, Edwards, Thornton, R. limbury. and Captain Benson won the falls for the locals. Renaux won a decision. These six members won letters in the meet, establish- ing a record for the hve years of wrestling in this school. Swimming Coach Graaff issued a call for swimming candidates soon after school began in the fall, and 31 splashers responded. Lettermen who returned from last year included Victor Ferguson, Rob Lynn, and Morgan Hall. Several other veterans show- ed up as well as a wealth of new material. Austin 183 Rochester 51. Coach Graaff's tankmen opened the sea- son January 11, by winning from Austin, 51-18. Morgan Hall won nrst in the 40 and 100 yard dashes to win ten points for scor- ing honors.

He doesn't like it. For this issue Mr. Gibbons does an S. S. Van Dine and goes mysterious. As a short story it is really very interesting. Congratulations, Donaldg keep up the writing. Oh, yes, it is a well known fact that Sir Alvarez of the l-leap suddenly found an un- usual talent for spreading it on about the right thing to feed cats, how to pick a good car, etc. Anyway it's Bobis flrst attempt to go Rochet , and his clever essay deserves praise. Oh Yeahu Runge turned from his posi- tion as chief roof raiser and painted several rather odd characters who live in this issue. Pretty good, Ray. Page Tzc'enI'11-ffiylif Another representing the junior class is none other than our own Theodore Tollef- son, alias Ted. Did you spend lots of time reading about all the Pole flights, mister? Really very interesting, I'll say. Mary Crewe lent a hand to writing. The result? NYhy, a very unusual attempt to follow Poe's style of writing. Here's hoping Alta continues her amusing feature stories for the Rochet. I'm sure the basketball shooters would appreciate it. Oh, yes, we have with us Mr. Kenneth Percival whose works, including a sport story and an illustration, appeared in the last issue. Also I introduce someone with whom most of you are familiar-Xlialt Portermain, successor to George McManus. Howard Larsen, a sophomore, turned out several good illustrations in the last two is- sues. Before we forget, we want to mention the clever salesman story by Bill Schacht who left his debate work long enough to help out the staff. ' EDITORIALS Co-operation for the Rochet Co-operation in any institution means operating for one object and in the interests of all concerned. That is what each organization in Rochester High School strives to do. Likewise, that it what the Rochet staff means to accomplish, for it is glad to receive suggestions, and appreciates the contributions the students hand in for publication. Teachers have co-operated in a hne way in collecting material for the Rochet , and Rochester High School can be proud of having a faculty interested in its student publica- tions. The Rochet staff puts together the best of the material handed in and gets it ready for publication, but it is the whole student body that supplies the staff members with ma- terial with which to work, and it is the students who have subscribed to the magazine. Together, the student body, the staff, and the faculty have made the Rochet what it is. It is the ambition and desire of the staff to have R. H. S. students think of the Rochet as their own magazine, to take an active interest in it, and to help improve it. --H. l,. Honesty 1n R. H. S. Honesty is the best policy l The truth of this statement has been known for centuries. XYhy should anyone try to push it aside now? Honesty in high school life means honesty in later years. Some small dishonest act now may lead to crimes in time to come. It is easy for high school students to get written lessons from someone else. But will those same lessons be of any value to the students who copy the work of others? And is it not dishonest to copy? i A short time ago it was necessary for the office force to iile cards bearing the signa- tures of all students and their parents. XVhy? Because a few students had been forging signatures on report cards and poor progress cards. It may seem of little importance now, but the real truth will be realized sometime. Forgery is one of the most serious crimes in the United States today. The dishonest deeds of a few students will reflect upon the whole student body, and everything possible must be done to promote honesty. Does It Pay? Does it pay to spend time on school publications when that time might be spent in pursuit of personal interests, engaging in sports, or just loitering away time? Dormant talent has been and will be a detriment to society. lfntil the talents we pos- sess are used in gainful activities of a field in which they are needed most, we are retain- ing from society that which is required of us. lt is therefore our duty as well as our privilege to offer our talent in literary lines to our school publication. The gains are great. XYC may be preparing ourselves for future newspaper work and perhaps even greater achievements in the literary world. Not a few great literary men have been editors or contributors to their school publications. Although only a few now contributing to the school publications hope to become lit- erary masters, the ability to write simply, clearly, and directly is the greatest reward that publication work offers and one that is useful throughout high school and college as well as in later life. -NY.

This was done in broad daylight. This shows the braveness of a thief. Mr, and Mrs. John Qlohns went to Owa- tonna to race yesterday. They were accom- panied by their horse. lt rained, so they didn't race, but came home instead. XYords has been received that Mr. and Mrs. XYilliam jones reached Alaska. And they enjoyed the trip. Although most of the news items turned in by students are well written, many are of the type listed above, and it is no wonder that occasional gasps of dismay are heard in Room 201 during the first hour in the morning as school reporters, under the di- rection of Miss Margaret Owen, prepare the day's news for the Rochester Post-Bulletin. -lean Dabelstein, Caroleen Goetting, Ale- thea XVatkins, and l-lelen Lee spend the en- tire first period every morning checking and rewriting locals which are handed in by the high school students, while Miss Owen corrects school news that is collected by the journalism students on their nightly runs to different departments in the school, makes brush' assignments and re-checks locals. Sometimes there are as many as 200 locals to be rewritten or checked, 20 school notes, several features, and numerous so- ciety notes. No material that complies with rules in the rule books that have been dis- tributed to each finglish teacher is cut by those in charge in Room 201. Each six weeks, different commercial stu- dents who have a vacant first period, type this material before it is sent to the Post- Bulletin office. Apollonia Perry, Frances Earle, and Gladys Anderson filled the posi- tion the first of the year. The second six weeks Hilda Neumann and Frena Quandt Pnye Tlzirf'q-l'wo took their places, and during the third per- iod Clladys Anderson and Frances Earle re- sumed their former task. XYhen students come in with locals. they usually drop them on the first typewriter stand where checked news is stacked ready for typing. Because of the chance of get- ting this checked work mixed with that un- checked, an industrious checker got an opportunity to display her unusual talent for sign making. The sign she constructed says Put Lo- cals Here and has been attached to the wire basket in the left hand corner of Miss Owen's desk. At first, some pupils persisted in overlook- ing the sign. This caused a slight bit of in- dignation, more humorous than otherwise, to arise and caused such remarks as, Some people must be blind, or VYell, can you beat that? Vilalked right past that sign! lt's a wonder it doesn't bite them some- timeli' Often students Wax poetic over any dry materialg for instance- Traffic will not be hampered this winter because snow-plows will be stationed along the highways, so let it blow, let it snow. The snow will only be piled low. , Then again some one will turn in a local item saying, Mrs. John Doe visited my cousin last night, and still they wonder why their news notes do not appear in the Rochester Post-Bulletin!

Ifargesheimer CUnassoeiated Press Correspondentj .Xrden Forest, June 8, 1593-Surprising the entire wrestling fandom, Young Orlan- do, a comparatively unknown amateur, threw Charles last night for one of the quickest falls on record. i xg- , is X X X 'T ,, y,?qpsl I lin J' in i -:ago Mx - - .

So hard was the champion thrown that he is still un- conscious after 16 hours. Unfortunately for Young Orlando, the bout was not for the title, although the wrestling committee feels that the title should be changed, as it has rested in one place seven years. There was a hint of romance in the bout when Rosalind, alleged sweetheart of the young usurper, tried to prevent his entering the ring. But in his typical devil-may- carel' fashion, he did, nevertheless, and emerged a hero. Young Orlando entered the ropes with ap- parent confidence, but not as confidently as his unpopular opponent. The young ama- teur rushed Charles all over the ring and then, catching him in a full Nelson, lifted him high over his head and threw him to the mat with terrific force. ln reply to a reporter's question, Young Orlando said he had not even started to breathe hard . A great future is predicted for the young- ster if he does not let his victory go to his head or get married, for his fiance's pleas might prove more effective than his future wrestling career. An Experience in Sounds By Frances Jlussey, 'JJ One theme day in English class, we tried an experiment of sitting still for five min- utes and tahulating the sounds we heard, .Xt lirst the papers rustled, and pencils scratched. Then, during a pause, someone dotted an i extremely hard, immediately a wave of suppressed laughter spread over the room. A door opened from another class- room. and voices muttered in the distance. .Xfter the door slammed and reslammed, there was an increased pencil scratching. From downstairs the sound of music floated upward. Someone thudded up the stairs and his footsteps echoed in the empty halls. The cars outside rumbled past, some with softly purring motors and others with clam- orous noises. The horn of a car penetrated the silence with its raucous blare. A train whistle shrieked far away. Soon a very familiar noise comes to us - the ringing sound of the hour bell. Then a general elat- ter made by the closing of books, folding of papers, and dropping of pencils came to our ears as every student in the school prepared to go to his next hour class.

ON BEING THE MIDDLE ONE By Raymond Bunge, '30 Many people say that the middle one in the family has it the easiest of all, but I'll bet they have never been in this position. The oldest in the family, of course, is the tallest--at least, for a long time, therefore, nearly all the new clothes that are bought are given to the oldest to wear until they are too small. for him, and then they are handed down to the middle one who wears out all the old clothes and seldom gets any- thing new. XYhen it comes time for the youngest to wear the second-hand clothes, there are none, because the middle child has already made them unusable. XYhenever parents have guests, and there aren't enough places to accommodate all the people, the oldest, being the privileged, and the youngest, still being under the mother's care, are allowed to sit at the table while the second child must either wait on the table or eat out in the kitchen. I.ater on in the evening as the youngest child sits on the mother's or father's lap, and the oldest visits with the guests, the second child must entertain the guests' children. XVhen the baby falls asleep, the parents call for the second child to accompany him to bed while the oldest one laughs and chats with the company. On Saturdays, while the oldest is doing some odd jobs for the neighbors, such as working around the house or mowing the lawn or baking bread or cleaning the house in order to make a little money, the second must stay home and do the pleasant house- hold duties, such as running to the store, washing dishes, sweeping the Hoors, and picking up the baby's toys. The oldest is not only allowed to drive the car, but he tells the father that the sec- ond child is too young to drive. This lasts until the oldest goes away. GOING TO SCHOOL IN THE WINTER By Robert The correct time is now three and three quarters minutes before eight o'clock. I took a big breath and held it while a last glassful of milk rumbled into my pharynx. My sister arose and glided over to see what emotion the thermometer had in store for her. Ah, pretty low. It looked as if the mercury might evaporate any minute. She laughed a pitiful, mawkish laugh, like the sound of rinsing a bottle. XK'hy did any- one of sound mind and good blood pressure have to go to school in the winter? Every time one goes out to do some ozone sniffing he must put on two galoshes, two one sweater-be- coatwone jacket, a nose guard or And by the time he has become lost to the eye inside these enclosures, it will be too late to go out, or the weather will have changed.

Nothing at all. By the time he reaches school or wherever he Wish- es, he is so worn out by supporting these coats and other encumbrances, that he can't do anything. His efforts are null and void. He must now spend ten minutes or so stor- ing up strength to enable him to carry on. Also, the chances are eleven to three that he will step on a roving slab of ice, resulting in a tailspin and a forced landing. Or per- haps some feeble-minded vehicle will un- knowingly slither into him, mistaking him for the back of a truck. Each piece of ice is a power for committing evil. You can't outguess them all the time. Any step might mean your downfall-and-swhat a down- fall! Imagine the nervous tension of an in- dividual subjected to six blocks of this treacherous grind. There's many a fall twixt the home and the hall. Now, why can't one have his two month's vacation in the winter? Dun't esk. Page Thirty-five U THE THIEF OF TIME By Donald Gibbons, '31 ONTGOMERY STREET was straight and narrow, but, as Slugl' Holland had said, it had too fancy a name for an alley. The street ran for only two ugly looking blocks near the wharves in a large city. There were sunken basement entrances, narrow passages between build- ings, and slovenly shuttered windows sug- gestive of drooping eyes watching the street, in fact, a sinister air prevailed throughout the short two blocks. It was a small city in itself, possessing a jewelry store, a drug store, an unclean bakry, a butcher shop, and such places where neces- sary commodities could be bought. Slug Holland, a hard looking individual with snaky green eyes and a cruel smile about his thin lips, had often visited Mont- gomery Street and paid particular attention to Robinson's Jewelry Store. Mr. Robinson, an old and somewhat feeble man, besides be- ing a jeweler, was an avowed dealer in an- tiques. Among his varied collections was a small but interesting clock, said to have been used during the French Revolution by a person of royalty. This small time-piece, outwardly attractive, had a mystifying and appealing tone in its chime which seemed to say, Now Vve got you! Now 1've got you V' when it struck the hours of the day. LUG , himself a well-known crook and at large for murder, was very much in- terested when he first saw the tiny clock on the shelf in the store. lts implor- ing, and entreating call struck his fancy im- mediately, and he vowed to add it to his own collection. This seemed a comparative- ly easy task to Slug',, for hadnlt he won a gun battle in Chicago against four detec- tives. and hadift he held up a train in Ne- braska and escaped with 310,000 in cash? Why, he could enter that little store blind- folded and come out not only with the clock but with the safe and cash register. Slug studied the situation thoroughly, and when his plans were at last perfected and faultless, he decided to steal the little treasure in the jewelry store. It was cus- Page Thirty-.vim tomary, he discovered, for Mr. Robinson to close his shop about a quarter to seven every evening and go home. Accordingly, Slug planned to enter through a rear win- dow, snatch the clock, and retreat to his room on the other side of town. Friday night was selected as the time for the job because it seemed the least busy. and at six-thirty, Slug lazily sauntered down to Montgomery Street. lt was late in the fall, and the evening was dreary and misty from the drizzling rain that swept over the ocean. ONTGOMERY STREET at night reminded Slug,' of some unhurnan avenue of torture. All the stores were closed except Robinson's, and this was a relief to his ramshackle brain. Since there were no street lights, the night was ideal, and aside from his uneasiness at sight of the ghostly and spirit-like street, Slug watched quite coolly for Mr. Robinson to de- part. At exactly a quarter to seven, the old man locked his door and trudged down the street. Quickly and quietly Slug sped around to the back of the store, but the weird shad- ows and the, uncanny howling of the ocean wind caused him to slacken his pace. An unnatural sensation overcame his body as he approached the window. Never before, in all his experiences, had Slug felt as he did then. He feared that something dread- ful was going to happen, but after a mo- mentary pause, he pushed himself through the window. As he landed inside, he heard an alarm go off, but, not to be daunted and wishing to accomplish his purpose at all costs, he grabbed the antique clock and de- parted swiftly. The cool wind and rain were invigorating to his hot body, and he ran confidently to the corner, only to be confronted there by a policeman, whose back happened to be turn- ed. A crowd was gathering, so he slipped the clock into his pocket. A bold scheme entered his mind, he approached the police- TH E RO C H ET January, 1950 man and asked breathlessly, XX'hatls hap- pened? Robinson's jewelry Store has been rob- bed, replied the officer, and a rare antique clock has been stolen, according to Mr. Rob- inson who discovered the robbery when he came back to the store after his glasses. ff LUG mixed with the crowd, thinking he would not be suspected if he did so. He joined the people in front of the store and began to ask questions as the rest were doing. The town clock was just striking seven when the crowd began to dis- perse, but suddenly 5lug', becamea frozen image as he heard seven gongs very near at hand mockingly say, Now I've got you! Now I've got you lu He reached to his pocket to choke the sounds, but Mr. Rob- inson, recognizing the curious peals of the little clock, easily caught Slug , who seemed unable to move. A TRYING EXPERIENCE By Edith Foster, '30 NYO YEARS AGO my dad went through a most trying experience. I tried and he tried-to teach me how to drive. One lovely afternoon-not a nice day to have one's neck broken-dad agreed to give me my first lesson. XVell, it was almost our last. You see, I thought I knew quite a bit about driving as I had watched my two sisters learn, and then, in my dreams I al- ways seemed to be the perfect driver. Some difference! At first, I could not keep the en- gine going long enough to get started. Then, when I finally acquired that art, I started with such an unholy jerk that dad's neck nearly snapped off. QHe was the only other person in the car as none of the rest of the family dared come.j A long, wide expanse of smooth white road stretched before us. In great glee I put my foot down hard on the gas. Like a shot out of a gun the car jumped forward, and down the road we went, veering from one side to the other, at perilous proximity to the ditches, and dad, gasping for breath at the unexpected turn of affairs, tried to tell me to Stop. Stop? How? Now thoroughly fright- ened out of a years, growth, I promptly lost control of my wits and everything else. Dad saved the day by pulling on the emer- gency brake just as we reached the edge of the ditch. It was fully two minutes before he could talk, but when he did-well, I gathered I should use a brake, where it was, and when On the whole, I decided I should use the brake more extensively than the gas. and how to use it. Accordingly, once again we started on our royal road to heaven knows what, my foot going tentatively from gas to brake and back again. Consequently, we didn't make a great deal of progress. However, all went Well compared to my first attempt, although I continued to have difficulty keeping on the road. LONG CAME A CORNER! Heaven- ly horrors! I looked appealingly at dad. The only information I could elicit from him was, just turn the wheel. I turned and I turned and I kept on turning, but the car didn't. Telephone poles loomed invitingly. I almost tried climbing one, but dad objected. I-Iow we got around that cor- ner is a miracle to me. QDad could proba- bly tell you.j As a final part of that lesson I was to try my hand at backing up. Believe me, it cer- tainly was final! Let it suffice to say that I used the gas for the brake, and that we fiew across ditches and bounced over fields. As a result, the family still consider it plain sui- cide to be in the car while I'm driving. Page Thirty-seven R. H. S. BEDTIME STORY By Aim Eckholdt, 'ao HIS IS STATION R. H. S., broad- casting its daily bedtime story for lit- tle students who delight in being en- tertained before retiring. Now listen care- fully, my little ones, while mother R. H. S. tells you about Donald, Clarence, Harold, Raymond and Ronald, and how old Mr. Oli- ver eats up old Mr. Kasson in a game of ring around the rosy . One time five little boys who had just been dressed in cunning red and black romp- er suits ventured forth to play and find some mischief to get into, as naughty boys usual- ly do. XYell, Ronald was a bold little bay and he wanted to peek in windows and let all the air out of people's car tires, which, of course, were very bad things to do. LARIENCIE LIKED TO RUN and skip and jump, so he decided they all should play a game of ring around the rosyl' with some other children who were just like themselves only dressed in orange and black romper suits. In order to do this, they had to find a big boy who un- derstood all about ring around the rosy and see who would beat, so they hunted and hunted till they found old Mr. Oliver. They knew Mr. Oliver was a big, fine athlete, be- cause he honestly played ring around the rosy downtown on what they had heard their daddies call the Aces, Team . Harold, Donald, Clarence, Raymond, and Ronald could never see old Mr. Oliver play because that was at night-oh, about 8 0'clock, and tiny, little boys can never stay up that late. Isn't that right, children? XYell, as I was saying, the ring around the rosy game began. First, Clarence grabbed the handkerchief and dropped it right in back of Ronald, so Ronald started to chase Clarence, and Oh! They ran so fast, Clarence ran away from little Ronald, so he dropped the handkerchief to Donald, and then what do you suppose those other little boys in orange and black began to do? XYhy! they started to try to get the handker- chief away from Donald, and really they did become so rough that old Mr. Oliver Page Thirty-eiyht blew a big whistle and told those naughty boys that they would have to jump and see who would get it. HEY HIT IT HIGH UP towards the sky. just then Harold leaped up, grabbed it. and threw it up through a hoop which Allan lientling had been using to train his poodle dog with. At this, old Mr. Oliver clapped his hands and made one of those boys in orange and black suits stand in the middle of the ring. He scolded and scolded the other little boys and told them that they should run faster and be more careful where they dropped the handker- chief. Now, my little students, it is your bed- time and mother R. H. S. is signing off so that she can go to sleep and be able to tell you how the little red and black boys play farmer in the dell with the little red and white boys, tomorrow night. DR.. WHY I LIKE THE ROCHET Hy Bernice Schroeder, 33:3 The Rochet,' is a student publication for all from the seventh grader to the senior. It enables the students to become better acquainted with organizations, members of the faculty, and other students. The dedi- cation page gives credit and praise to those teachers and pupils who are outstanding in some field of activity. Not only does it in- crease our knowledge of school life, but it holds our interest and attention by publish- ing themes written by the students about such things as are of interest to everyone, and printing reviews of books-new and old. The humor page gives a delightful finishing touch to this publication, every issue of which is eagerly looked forward to by the student body. ,R...

Page Thirty-nine AS POE WOULD TELL IT Hy Mary Crewe, '31 A single faint light welcomed me to the mist-cloaked edifice-with a sickly Hicker and in a half-hearted manner lighted my faltering steps to the two heavy doors. I peered through the glass portals, but the sight of the immensely long, forsaken tun- nel, or hall, with the practically invisible walls, interrupted occasionally by long, white, ghost-like doors extending full length from the top to the bottom of the wall, and on one side in the exact center, the three- quarter length windows throwing a ghost- ly inappropriate light over all, made the dread clash more unbearable. Suddenly, back of me-I know not how many feet-- or yards-or rodsiI heard a lonely call--the call of an animal in his soli- tude. It should have encouraged me, but the very thought that another creature of this earth was alone in the murky, barely discernable dawn put a new, unwelcome despair in my soul and filled me with an in- coherent, deadly sense of panic and desire to fly to the farthest corners of the globe in an attempt to escape the unavoidable, onrush- ing horror. I put my cold hand on the moist handle of the door, and the very iciness of it added to the most fearful shudders which already possesed my stricken frame-shiw ers from the spirits themselves. I know not why this is-this horror, I can think of no better name for it, is ex- ceedingly well known, and even described by authorities, and is to some a trivial inci- dent causing only a slight agitation, but to me-I shudder-I cannot bear to keep such a memory-and yet how can I forget it! Oh, my pitiable condition after such agony-my sleepless nights! Oh, shall such a thing ever occur again? This is not the iirst time, but still I cannot escape it! It must be some strange malady! Those blessed cor- ners of the earth-that I might cover my- self there-never to emerge! But I must go on! I turn to the left. Countless steps loom ahead of me, and in the sinister gloom and grayness I stumble onward and upward to my bitter, terrible fate, and yea, perhaps my end. On my tremulous way, I pass an open door, and there, under a bright light, is a group of my fellowmen. They are to be envied, but they have no inner souls, they cannot sympa- thize, they must be mad, they laugh! On- ward! Blindly I stumble, with a suggestion of tears, the combination of anger, humilia- tion, self-pity, and nervous reaction. I enter the chamber, the scene of untold agonies, fears, and trepidations. Not daring to look up, I smother an intense desire to cover my eyes, my head, my ears, and shut out that unspeakable- Oh-h-h! You're late! Again l The torture has begun. Shall I live or die?

Christmas Vacation to a School Boy By Howard Knapp, '32 A day or so before school lets out for Christmas vacation the average schoolboy has changed his thinking from schoolwork to the coming vacation. Then the vacation starts and the world becomes the brightest planet of the universe. Life is begun in a new way, and for the first few days the main attractions are skat- ing or skiing. All books are forgotten and put away except a good-for-nothing book report which can be read the last day of va- cation. Page Forty Then comes the day when things become even brighter. Presents and turkey both come together, and the day is spent with much delight. After Christmas comes more sport. This might be of a different type from ordinary sports, for the things one gets for Christ- mas have to be worn or tinkered with to show one's appreciation.

WOULD YGU CALL IT LUCK? ' Hy Helen Lee, '30 T XYAS SNUXYING, and Ada Manning loved the snow. It invigorated her and made her glad she was alive. The day had been altogether pleasant anyway, for the city editor had entrusted her with the main part of a story that had made the office force go mad. A French cafe owner had murdered what he thought to be an admirer of his wife. The story was run front page news, and as a result Ada hoped for a raise in position, not to say salary. Now she was faced with an assignment that no one on the City Herald force had ever successfully attempted. The editor had seemed a bit leafy in giving her the job, but it had been offered her anyway, and, too eager for words at the chance of getting it, she quickly gathered up her pencil and pad, and, snatching her coat, left the building and made her way along the crowded streets. So staunchly had she made up her mind to get the story that she firmly believed nothing less than a tornado could daunt her. The editor had said, Miss Manning, you have heard of Mrs. Deeping who lives so secluded up on the river road, haven't you? Well, we want a story from her. Probably my hunch is wrong, but I've got one, and I'll bet two weeks pay there's a good story lurking behind her in the shadows. Jerry and Bill both tried it, but they didn't get anything but a cold shoulder. If you.think you can do it, go after it. Think so? She would! The woman she was to interview was known as an eccentric old lady who had come to Clarksville recently in company with a middle-aged woman who seemed to be her only companion. She had rented a house in the best residential section of the town, but further than that no one seemed to know anything. Ada was on wings. If she could write a murder story and get it on the front page, she certainly ought to be able to write up a few facts about what the town thought to be a queer woman. Even when she reached the house, her spirit was not clouded. Pro- Paige Forty-two bably she was too happy to notice the sin- ister and sullen appearance the structure gave to the casual passerby. She ran up the stairs to the porch, rang the bell, and when asked by a precise-look- ing individual what she wanted, explained that she wished to see Mrs. Deeping. She was told that Mrs. Deeping never saw visi- tors, but she insisted on being admitted, say- ing that she had important business to con- duct with the lady of the house. She was finally allowed to enter-though rather dubiously-and told to wait in the drawing room. It seemed an eternally long time before the maid returned, but she was finally escorted to Mrs. Deeping's sitting room. As she raised her hand in the direc- tion of a near-by chair when Ada entered, Mrs. Deeping accidentally pushed a tea cup from the tea table. Ada, quick as a Hash, however, caught the dainty cup just before it crashed to the floor, saying as she re- placed it on the table, Why, Mrs. Deeping, this is exquisitely hand painted! You didn't paint it by any chance, did you ?,' My dear young lady, I can never thank you enough for saving that cup. You see- vvell, no, I did not paint it. I am glad I could serve you, but really I never saw such a dainty design, like an old world pattern. Someone very dear to you must have done the work. Indeed My only daughter painted the whole set for me. How I would like to meet her! She must be a charming person. Gloria was the sweetest in the world. But she is gone now. An expression of sorrow and remorse passed over her face at this point. VVhy, what do you mean ? She is dead. The woman stared at the cup. . Oh, I'm sorry. Ada turned toward the window to avoid looking at the broken old woman. THE January, 19.20 It seems almost unjust, but that has been the way with everything with me any- way. She began pouring out her story rapidly, as if she must tell it. l married a German official while I was in Berlin studying music, and Gloria was born and lived there all her life. just before the VVorld NYar, we lost our money, and my husband had to go to the front to fight for his fatherland. My musical work did not bring enough money to take care of myself, let alone my daughter, who was in her second year at the Berlin art school. As a result, she had to give up her career as an artist and leave school. Memories of suffering choked the wom- an's voice. Ada could not speak. Getting no work in Germany, I left for America-I was born in Philadelphia of English parents-and became employed in a factory-mind you, a factory. Gloria be- came- she paused as if the next words were hard to say, a spy-working in the interests of the German forces. No, don't look aghast, please. You can't blame her, for she knew no other fatherland. Soon after, she was killed.' ' Killed P Yes, she hadn't come to America and happened to be in a regiment house one night receiving plans from a commanding officer when a bomb hit there, and she was one of those who were killed instantly. Again Mrs. Deeping stopped for a brief second before she continued, Then I re- ceived word that my husband's fortune had been retrieved, so I went back to Germany. I was there only a short time when he died also. There was nothing to keep me there, so I came back, and here I am in Clarksville, of all places. But there, I don't know why I am tell- ing you all this after keeping it a secret all these years. I'm sorry if Ibored you. It must have been your interest in painting that led me on. XYhy, I don't know any- thing about you except your name, and I wouldn't know that if it hadn't been on the card you sent in. Mrs Deepingf' Ada started, 'Tm from the daily paper, but please don't look so startled, because I can see that what you told me is not to be repeated, and I promise you that none of it will ever see print. Mrs. Deeping smiled uncertainly and an- swered, My dear, I vowed that no one should ever hear that story from my lips, but I feel better for having told it. However, as you have guesed, I do not want it pub- lished. VVhy, the citizens probably wouldn't Want me in this town if they knew that my husband had fought for the Germans and that my daughter was a spy in their employ, even if I told them I was an American- true blue and proud of it.' ' Now the soft beat of the snowfiakes upon her cheeks as she guided her lagging foot- steps back to the office maddened Ada, for they seemed to mock and jeer her because of the downhearted aspect of the World in general. Now she was going to fail an as- signment - deliberately, an unpardonable thing to do, but she couldn't bring herself to tell an unsympathetic World the sorrows of a heart-broken woman. How she longed to have the summer back again when she had tried for that amateur news story contest. She had won first place, and as a result decided to take up newspap- er work. That same summer she had met Jimmie Huston, played tennis with him, gone boat- ing, swum, fished, danced, and driven With him. If she had listened to her father who wanted her to stay home and teach in the school there, she could still be enjoying those good times, and she wouldn't have to be going to someone to admit she was a failure, as she must do now. She finally reached the office. The editor was not there, so she decided to write him a note. She spent two hours in writing that note, which, when it was Hnished, was the exact duplicate of the first she had penned. It simply said, I cannot fulfill the Deeping assignment. I see very plainly Page Forty-three January, 1930 THE ROCHET now that I shall never be a successful re- porter, as I am what you might call too 'chicken-hearted'. Please accept this as my resignation. Ada Manning On her way out of the office, she collided with a man whom she had not seen mount- ing the stairs. She started to go on with just a polite pardon me, but something prompted her to look up. The iirst glance startled her--then, jimmie! she cried. VVhy, Ada, what are you doing here? Gee! It's good to find you, but you look all tired out. Let me take you out to din- ner, won't you ? She readily consented, and before she knew it, she was pouring out her story to her friend across a small dinner table in a dimly lighted Russian cafe. XVhen she finished, he said, Do you mean to say that you gave up your job because you couldn't bring yourself to publish that interview? VVell, if you're as conscientious about your work as that, I want you to work on my staff. XVill you accept? Don't be funny, Jimmie. What staff could you put me on ? 'Tm not funny. I'll put you on my own, of coursef' XVith this he leaned back in his chair in an important manner, his thumbs tucked in his vest. You see, Dad bought the paper back home in jackson, and he wants me to run it for him, I've got the right to hire you if anyone has, haven't I? I suppose you have. But are you sure you want me? 1'm not at all good at it, you know. Listen here, Ada, haven't you guessed why I came up here today? VVell, I read that murder story of yours in the evening edition, so I started out to find you for my paper. I thought I would have a hard time getting you, but as long as you've resigned -well, it's just all hunky-dory. If you want to, you can start work as soon as my car can get you back to jackson. But, you know, I just can't figure you out. You can write cold-blooded murder stories, Page Forty-four but you balk at the sob stuff. How do you account for that ? I guess it's just me. But let's get start- ed, Jimmie. VVho knows? Maybe someone will murder someone else on our way home, so I can write it up for your morning edi- tion. XYouldn't that be dandy? MR..

Unable to find my camp in the snow storm, I was forced to keep walking to keep from freezing. I started out in the direction I supposed to be that of my cabin. I soon became cold and dismal. Finally I fell over, exhausted. A little later some Indians found me. Although they were very kind, I did not want to accompany them . I did not escape, however, because I did not know where my camp was. Many days we travelled steadily northward until I lost all hope of ever returning to my family. One day I heard the two leaders talking. VVhat was it they said? I was scarcely able to believe my ears. What luck!

Bishop when he was twenty-one, cardinal before he was forty, supreme ruler of France for eighteen years, and in his day, the most powerful man in Europe-such is Armand jean du Plessis, Cardinal Richelieu, as he is given to us by Hilaire Belloc. He had a headache all of his life and, it is said, fits of insanity or epilepsy. Yet, outwardly, he was a man of control-cold and passionless. His administration forms an epoch in the history of France. One of his greatest enterprises was the overthrow of the Huguenot party. Richelieu the magnificent, the ambitious, the cruel, the vain, the great-they are all portrayed in I3clloc's great biography. -.fllismz Rowntree, '33 Page I m'fy-five RACKET Iunior: l'll tell , you I studied like iff, sixty to get that sev- I ,gli enty in algebra.
