Parrott Frank P. Rohrer Martin C. Wilson Five BWEHH PLAY UST what man's purpose in this world is has always been a matter of discussion and dispute. Some have declared that he has no defi- nite objectg that man-humanity in general-is merely a moving, surging stream, which, at its best, may cut an impression in the solid rock of time, only to have it filled again by a change of course. Others, more optimistic, maintain that no person has lived in vain. that everyone has had his share, large or small, in bettering the course of humanity. To attempt to settle this controversy of the ages would obviously be absurd. But we can say this much with certainty: that anyone who has lived for himself a happy and healthful life, and has made humanity in the smallest degree happier for his existence, has accomplished a thing which might well be considered at least an important factor in his use to the world. ln order, however, to accomplish this end, four primary phases of exist- ence must be developed. The first is a moral standard by which to-guide our actions. The second is a satisfactory home life in the form of good relations with family and friends. The third is a form of work which gives us means of support and makes us of use to the community. The fourth is a reasonable degree of leisure, which offers us an opportunity for play or recreation in some form or another. Even a casual glance at these points serves to show us that all are impor- tant and that the absence of any one of the first three of these would make that existence incomplete, but that the omission of the last, an opportunity for and means of play, would throw the others entirely out of line. Therefore, since play is of so much importance to a full and useful life, let us consider it in every available light. To begin with, exactly what is play? Anything, any act or means, which produces a sensation of pleasure or joy may properly be classed as play. Hence we see the wide field included in this term. From the pleasure a child gets from shaking his rattle as he lies in his cradle, through the keen enjoy- ment a sportsman gets from watching a game of baseball, to the exquisite joy a lover of fine paintings obtains from merely gazing at a masterpiece, we find the spirit of play in operation. Considering the breadth of the subject, therefore, it is not surprising that many explanations have been offered to make clear the reason why we play. One faction of physiologists declares that we play only when there is an excess of energy-energy over and above the amount we ordinarily need-- which demands to be discharged. For this reason we are said to run and jump and enjoy a game of baseball or a swim, for such forms of play use up this store of energy. The second view is diametrically opposed to this one, since it regards play as an opportunity afforded for the relaxation and recreation of exhausted Six EWEHH powers: that is, as a means of restoring energy, rather than a means of using it up. ln support of this second theory, we find the fact that, although wearied by studying mathematics, perhaps, one may read a novel for a while, and then return to mathematics with a fresh vigor. ln this last case we easily perceive that there was no superabundant presence of energy, but that with a little relaxation, a little play with a simpler subject, energy to continue a more difficult one was obtained. So it seems that each theory is right until we call into practice the other. But to reconcile this, let us say that a combination of both would cover the different circumstances arising. In other words, both theories may act simultaneously, since acts supplying recreation to exhausted powers may at the same time call into play other powers and thus afford the need for discharging excess energy. The fact that play is an important factor in the health and happiness of the individual was recognized by the ancients, and they accordingly made pro- vision for its exercise. The most outstanding example of this provision was the Olympic games, which have been recently revived because of their recrea- tional value. The folk dance, the social dance, and the singing games are more recent expressions of the predominance of the spirit of play. Carnivals and fetes, with their joyous, carefree fun, are further evidences of the necessity of throw- ing off cares and solemn thoughts and indulging in a period of pure enjoyment. Reading, also, though less active than the forms of play previously mentioned, and all forms of sports, whose appreciation is clearly shown by the high sala- ries of baseball players, both serve to make man happier and better fit for the keen struggle for existence. The city, too, has made its provision for play by establishing an elaborate system of parks, playgrounds, community centers and swimming pools. Even pedagogy, important and arbitrary as it is, has, since the time of Plato, recognized the necessity of play and is at this present time increasing facilities for recreation, realizing that the harder a child plays, the better fit he is to cope with the difficult problems of mastering an education. So we find, in conclusion, that play, besides making man healthier and happier, takes his thoughts away from the seriousness of life and therefore gives him a sense of freedom which he would not otherwise have obtained, and, in short, as the strings of a zither and the cord of a bow should not always be taut if the instrument is to retain its usefulness, so do men need the relaxation of play. CATHERYN MAHNE. J A Milli' a 1 .. Seven Couric-sy of Public Library THE ANCIENT OLYMPIC GAMES HE Olympic Games were the most famous of the four great national festivals of the Greeks. They were celebrated in the sanctuary of Zeus at Olympia every four years, the time varying from the begin- ning of August to the middle of September. The origin of the games was lost in antiquity, and legend attributed the foundation of the games to Hercules, Pelops, and other mythical characters. They were said to have fallen into neglect until King Iphitus of Elis and King Lycurgus of Sparta established the Truce of God at the celebration of the games and restored them to honor. During the greater part of their existence the games were in charge of the Eleans, though the city of Pisa, in whose ancient territory Olympia was situated, frequently disputed this right of the Eleans, until Pisa was destroyed by Elis and Sparta. Early in the year of the games, envoys from Elis were sent throughout the Creek world to invite the states to join in honor to Olympian Zeus. To them the states sent sacred embassies to bring their offer- ings and vie with one another in the splendor of their equipment and enter- tainment. The Olympic games consisted of short and long distance running, Wres- tling, boxing, discus throwing, chariot racing, horse racing, and various other feats testing nerves and endurance. The chief officials varied from two to twelve, though the usual number seems to have been ten. The judges' decision was not Hnal, but might be revised by the senate. Under the judges was a set of police who kept order during the celebration of the games. None but Greeks of pure descent were allowed to take part in the games, until the con- quest of Greece by the Romans, when they also were admitted to the contests. At first the contests occupied but a single day, but in later times, five or six days were needed to complete the sports. The first day was devoted to sacrifices, especially to Zeus, while the officials and contestants took a solemn oath, the former to judge fairly. the latter that they had observed the pre- Eight ' WRESTLERS Uffizi, Florence fourlvfu of Puhlu' lrhrurzy Nine 38.721346 scribed training and would compete with fairness. The games took place up to the last day, when, in front of the temple, the victors received the crowns of wild olive, the only prizes. Afterwards they were banqueted by the State of Elis. The crown of wild olive was so highly esteemed that a victor in the Olympic games was regarded as bringing glory, not only to himself, but to his family and even the city or state to which he belonged. On returning to his native city he was honored with a triumphal procession and heard his praises celebrated in lyric verse. ln addition to this, special privileges were conferred on him for life. A place of honor was allowed him in all public assemblies, and even statues were erected to him. At Athens they were maintained for the rest of their life at public cost. The ancient Olympic games died out during the fourth century A. D., and were not revived until IS96, when the first of a new series, the Modern Olympic Games, was played in Athens. HERMAN BRAECKEL. I so l OLYMPIC FORMER STARS MCKINLEY STUDENTS FRANKLIN JOHNSON-DAN KINSEY Tm BWEIHH THE MODERN OLYMPIC GAMES N JUNE, IS94, there met at Paris a committee which had been appointed to place competitive athletics on an international scale. This International Olympic Games Committee, as it was called, resolved that games should be held every fourth year in a different country. It was decided that the first Olympic should be held in 1896 at Athens, in the ancient stadium where the Creeks vied with each other for athletic supremacy hundreds of years before. The program, which bore little resemblance to that of the Greeks, consisted of track and field contests, gymnastics, wrestling, tennis, pole climbing, fencing, rifle and revolver shooting, weight lifting, swimming, bicycle racing, and the Marathon, which is considered as the most important. As the Marathon has always been the greatest feature, it was fitting that a Greek, running over the same course that his famous countrymen traversed, should win the race. As for the rest of the contests, there was little doubt as to the victor. The United States sent five men from Boston and four from Princeton, who, although they were by no means the greatest in America, won every event they entered. Since that time America has never lost the track and field competition. The third Olympic was held here in St. Louis, the Americans winning every track and field event except the fifty-six pound weight throw. For the first time races were held for aborigines. There were American lndians, Afri- cans, lVloros, Patagonians, Syrians, and Filipinos. The American Indians lived up to the standards of their white comrades by making the best showing, but their records were far inferior to those of the white men. ln the succeeding years America's great majority of victories in the track and field contests has decreased so much that it is doubtful whether we shall win next year. ln i924 Finland took second place and promises a strong team for the next games. It is to the l924 Olympic that we turn with pride, for three contestants were former McKinley graduates. These three men, who were trained by our famous coach, lVlr. Castleman, were Kinsey, Murchison, and Johnson. Kinsey won the l I0 meters high hurdle race, out-distancing all other competitors. Johnson won his first heat in this event but failed to place in the final race. Loren Murchison, after winning his preliminary heat, raced to sixth place in the finals of the l00 meters dash. It is hoped that all three of these men will do as well or better next year. Kinsey is already training for the all-around championship, which he hopes to win. The next Olympic will be held next year in Holland. The games will be watched with more interest than the preceding ones, because the fair sex will compete in track and field. America cannot have too good a team this year, for the other countries have taken increased interest in athletics during the last three years. E Ieuen 1 ,WY LOREN MURCHISON This increased interest proves that the international athletic competition has taken hold in all countries. Nearly every country in the world has sent a representative to the committee to arrange for the participation of their athletes. The games have done as much to promote friendly relations between foreign countries as any other one thing. Germany applied for a place in the i924 Olympic, before her diplomats thought of taking part in political relations with other countries. Perhaps in the future, disputes between foreign countries will be settled by athletics instead of war. - l'lere's to the Olympic Games!

T wel ue BKUEIHEI FOLK DANCES OLK dances, according to Miss E.. Burchenal, are the traditional rural community recreation of the people, and contain the very essence of social group play. Folk dances are simple to do and consequently everyone, without any study, may take part. Each one is hidden in the crowd, and, as a result, loses self-conscious- ness, and relaxes. The folk dance sprang from the peasant's heart just as naturally as the rhythmic steps spring from the children's hearts in the street when they hear the organ grinder's music. The religious dance was often the dramatization of the life or work of a god. Many of the old dances seem to us to express merely joy or sadness, but in reality they were a part of some old religious ceremony. All the dances were means of expressing feeling: some, sorrowg some, excitement: and some, love. The funeral dance pageant of the Greeks expressed the sorrow of the people. The war dances of the Indians expressed the excitement of the tribe and were a part of the religious ceremony preceding the battle, the purpose of which was to insure success. Many of the dances had a direct bearing on the common events of life. A beautiful myth is said to connected with the Vintage Dance. The Spirit of Vegetation, which had carefully watched over and cared for the fruit, while it was growing, fled before the eager harvesters as they plucked the grapes. When the harvest was nearly over, it was at length caught in the last bunch of grapes plucked from the vines. Finally, they carried the Fruit Spirit embodied in the last of the harvest down the hillside, amid great rejoicing and, placing it in their midst, they danced out the story of the first awakening of the Spirit in the spring with the turning and tilling of the soil, and the recovery of the life of the summer amid the fruit of the vines. Now that the harvest is over, they dance and sing'with the greatest joy. The wine from this fruit is sacredly cherished until the following spring, when it is poured on the ground to renew the life of the land. The Morris dances, which, according to Miss Burchenal's definition, would not be classified as folk dances, since they are spectacular and not social, are, however, traditional and have much in common with the folk dances. Fifty years ago there were few villages in England which did not have their own Morris dancers, but now few villages keep up this custom. The reason some dancers gave is that they weren't patronized enough, and shoes wore out so quickly. The Morris dancers performed only on special occasions, in some villages on Whitsunday, in others on Christmas. The celebration on Whit- sunday was begun with much ceremony. At one place, early in the morning, the fiddler would go to some high place and play a catchy tune, as he said, to entice the dancers. ln some places the dance was performed on the top of the church tower. This resembles the early days of Christianity when the priests Thirteen EWEIHH allowed many of the pagan dances to be done in the church. The pipe and tabor were the instruments which furnished the music for the Morris dancers. One of the most popular folk dances of this country, especially in the colleges, is the May pole dance. The English observance of this, as a floral festival, dates back to the Roman conquest. During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, the people of both the upper and the lower classes went out to the fields to gather flowers. When they returned, marching to music, a huge pole covered with flowers and ribbons was set up. The fairest maiden of the village was chosen Queen and all her subjects danced around the pole. During Queen E.lizabeth's time, May poles were found in all parts of England, and the May pole dance was the most popular of all the May games. This custom was first celebrated in our country at the University of Illinois in l898. Each year the number of participants increased and soon it became an annual event. Each year new features were added, such as the Milkmaid and the Peasant dances, and, upon study, they soon discovered that it had unlimited possi- bilities. The young people taking part in the dance, each carrying the Univer- sity colors, marched to the Presidenfs house, where they were joined by the seniors in caps and gowns. All paid respects to the President, and then marched to the music of the military band to the Athletic Park, where they were greeted with college yells and applause. Thus the exercises began. Each year the exercises lengthened until, in time, darkness fell on the final march. As this was unsatisfactory, they desired some method of lighting. Japanese lanterns were decided upon and thus the May pole dance received one of its most attractive features. Although, at the present time, folk dances are very uncommon in our country, it is to be hoped that we will soon return to this pleasant, delightful and healthful form- of dancing. , - LORETTA HARVEY.

Indeed, it is very inviting both in the winter, when the trees are devoid of their beautiful summer' cloth- ing, and in the summer, when the sun pours down in all his glory and the place is alive with gay bevies of girls Hitting hither and thither. ln this latter jolly season, what a time the girls have! As soon as school closes, they flock to the welcoming doors of camp and many never leave until their studies call them to the sweltering city again. At the instant a girl arrives, she feels at home. There is no pomp nor cere- Sixteen LIFE AT FRILOHA mony to go through, and the friendly spirit which reigns is one of Friloha's biggest assets. Each day is an orderly and well arranged one. Work and play are equally divided so as to vary the tendency to monotony. The rising bell rings at seven and as soon as it is sounded, there is a mad scramble for the showers. The slogan is First come, first served. At seven forty-five, each girl is expected Cif weather permits, to be on hand for the Hag-raising ceremony. This is truly a beautiful way in which to begin the day, and as two appointed girls raise Old Glory, the others sing The Star-Spangled Banner with such a touch of patriotism that even the most critical are forced to admit that loyalty is the outstanding feature of every Girl Reserve. After this brief ceremony, everyone is at leisure until the breakfast bell rings. During this time, the girls usually consult the bulletin which tells to which squads they are assigned for that day. There are twelve squads, consisting of four or five girls each. There are two for each meal: the first whose duty it is to attend to the setting of the table and keeping it well supplied, while the second squad has the pleasure of clear- ing the table and washing and drying the dishes. Then there are the squads for each one of the dormitories: one for the main dorm, which is in the Se Uen leer: BVJZINH camp building, and another for Little Benny, which is the dormitory on the campus. The duty of these squads is to clean up the dorms and inspect the lockers. Then come the house-cleaning squads. There is one for the huge sleeping porch, one of the delights of camp, another for the dining-room, a third for the huge living-room, and still another for the ground floor. During the first hour after breakfast, about all that is seen are brooms, buckets, mops, floor polish, and dust cloths, which are swished from room to room with surprising alacrity. To a casual observer, the speed with which the girls hustle to finish the assigned tasks may seem very strange-but when the truth is known, this is very natural. The fact is that the squads compete every day, each one endeavoring to accomplish its work in less time and with more efficiency than the others. Amid many good-natured jolts and skirmishings, the ends are attained. Directly after the housecleaning squads have finished their tasks, some form of play is indulged in. The latter may consist of baseball, swimming, or tennis, and many times the morning is spent in hiking. The hikes are extremely energizing and many interesting things are encountered along the road. One of the favorite destinations on these occa- sions is the Mhaunted cabin, which is thoroughly liked by all the girls. On these hikes, the most popular song is sung to the tune of There's a Long, Long Trail A-Winding. It goes something like this: There's a long, long nail a-grinding lnto the sole of my shoe: lt's ground a hole into my foot A mile or two. There's a long, long hike before me, But what l'm thinking about ls the time when I can sit me down And pull that darned thing out! Always bubbling over with mirth, the girls seem never to be a dull group and they manifest their love of fun on a hike even more than at other times. The extreme sense of freedom, together with the wonderfully fresh air and cool, shady woods, is undoubtedly the reason why happiness is thus revealed. Back to camp once more. There are but a few moments to prepare for luncheon-and then another stampede to the large dining-room where the wholesome meal is devoured with a rapidity which only a hike can demand. The camp authorities are well aware of the fact that growing girls have a sweet tooth. Consequently the candy store is opened immediately after lunch and the funstersu supply themselves with many sweetmeats. As a rule, the afternoon is spent in reading, playing various games, or the ever popular swimming. The girls who are interested in archery usually spend this time in practicing so as to become more nearly perfect marksmen. Eighteen BVJEHH In the evening many forms of amusement are employed. Sometimes there are stunts in the large living-room. On these occasions everyone present is compelled to oblige with a stunt and many of them are very amusing. There have been presented upon this miniature stage queer negro spirituals, orchestras of incomparable ability, bands fcomposed of any kitchen utensil which cook will donatel, outstanding song and dance acts. When there is an exceptionally beautiful moon and the night is warm. the girls delight in building a huge bonfire at a small distance from camp. Here they industriously carry on the ever popular pastime of roasting marshmallows and wieners. There are songs and campfire dances, and usually a grand colle- giate tramp back to camp. Then--a second mad rush for the showers and a hurried scramble for bed before the lights out bell is rung. This signal is followed by a deadly quiet which lasts for about five minutes. Next, from some remote corner of the dormitory, a very, very stealthy crushing of paper, which probably conceals some forbidden bit of cracker or sandwiches. The grue- some cutting of a can opener and all is still for a few moments. Again a noise. this time as if someone were munching a goodie, A crowd fin the grim blackness of the night we know not whom, is indulging in a midnight feast. About 3 A. IVI. the familiar noise ceases. Thus the summer slips by happily at the illustrious Camp Friloha and the doors are closed until another summer dawns upon the camp of friendship flrril, love flol, and happiness fhaj. OLIVE IVI. HARTIVIANN. PLAY IN ENGLAND I note with much gratification that this term's Bwana is dedicated to Play. What a relief! Would it interest you to know something of English sports? Yes? Well-here goesl As you probably know, the nights are short the greater part of the year. That is, it is often quite light every night during .the long summer till almost I2 o'cIock. As you Americans would say, The sidewalks aren't drawn in till midnight -sometimes even later. What do we do during these long hours? Well, I can safely say that the shows are not patronized as much as American theatres are. Whether this is due to lack of funds or to the fact that the invigorating evening air is too tempting to miss I cannot say. Prob- ably the latter. Needless it is to say that the majority of towns are situated either on the coast or near to some large body of water. Thus you see why open air swimming pools are practically unnecessary: and, while the sea water creates a rather icy sensation, the waves area delightful change to the monot- onous surface of the water in swimming pools. Fishing from the pier is a most exciting pastime--especially at midnight when the most fun is derived from dodging the surf as it breaks over the curve Nineteen BKUEIHE near the lighthouse. l advise rowing a boat so long as you keep in the harbor. Take advice from one who has had the experience, and do not go beyond the harbor. You will probably feel glad to be picked up by a fishing hook if you do. Let us now leave the sea and go to the gorgeous English countryside of which, l am proud to say, there is plenty. Above all, the English countryside is not marred with glaring ads, When you're in the country, your mind is free and not ruffled by a Time to re-tire which gets you to thinking that your own tires aren't so new-and so the whole day is utterly ruined! Perhaps you would be bored, though. because baseball- the national game -is played only in America. However, cricket and football fsimilar to soccer, and rugby fsimilar to American footballl are all truly delightful pastimes. Cricket and football are the dominating sports, both girls and boys participating. English sports are practically all outdoor sports. Even basketball, which is a girls' sport, is carried on in the school grounds. Stone walls surround three sides of the school, while railings extend across the remaining side: so there are always places for baskets to be nailed to the walls. ln many schools a long pole with a basket attached at the top is used instead. lce-skating is a minor sport, clue to the fact that the ponds hardly ever freeze. Nevertheless, when it does snow everyone takes advantage. One sees from morn till night a profusion of tobogganing, snow ball fights and slides. The latter is made by continually sliding over a gradual slope, till the place is perfectly glassy. Then everyone gets in line and in turn slides down the slope. one after the other. Often as not a catastrophe happens and a regular collision occurs at the terminus. This is perfectly safe for those on top of the heap, but the stars help you if you're underneath! Sliding is the most popular sport while the snow is on the ground. l shall refrain from commenting on the scolding which results, should your mother dislike buying shoes too often. It would be useless to relate other English sports as they are played in America in practically the same way. ROSE JOSEPH. 'K 'lr 'WL f ffcfff fl !'i -4 0 1 A in we f jfs 'I wc nly AlN'T FUN? Courtvsy of Post-Dispatch FOREST PARK FROLICS T THE. bottom of Art Hill on a cold, snowy day, my attention was attracted by a particularly large bobsled just starting down the hill. They are off, but everything is not quite all right. The sled jumps and rears, zigzags from side to side, and just plunges down the hill. A small boy towing his sled up the hill is the first victim. l'Ie escapes by a quick leap, but his sled is soon a mass of wreckage. Still this comet-slecl continues on its erratic way. Boys and girls escape death by a miracle, while their sleds are not so fortunate. A crunch, a smash, and a sled is no more. As it nears the bottom, bouncing and wiggling, it makes straight for a group of skaters resting on the edge of the lagoon. I close my eyes in horror. A scream, a thud, and I open my eyes, expecting to see mangled bodies lying about. Over on the lagoon the sled is coasting-passem gerless. The erstwhile passengers are all lying in the snow-laughing. They had escaped the skaters by a quick turn, but the sudden turn had unseated them. I run over to see if anyone is hurt. To my surprise, whom should I see but Ramona Helle, Amy Chase, Ruth Jacoby, Lillie I-Iagemeyer and Dorothy Devero? I secure the sled and, as I tow it up the hill, I ask Ramona what made the sled jump so. She answers, Ah, that was the waltz. Didn't you you know that's a Dancing Sled? Look over there. See that pile of wreckage? That's the result of the Black Bottom, Finale Hop, and the Charleston. I went home thanking my lucky stars that I was not the Dancing Sled's partner. Twenty-one EWHNE THE PLAY OF ANIMALS HE PLAY of animals can be divided into four classes: experi- mentation, movement, hunting, and fighting. The first class, experimentation, needs no explanation, and the best example is that of nestlings. Little birds begin to peep soon after they are hatched, and, contrary to common belief, it has been proven that these sounds are not made because of hunger, but because of the enjoyment and the practice that the birds derive from it. A story is told in this connection of a monkey who was very fond of fire. When given a bundle of sticks, he would sit before the fireplace and, taking one stick at a time, would poke it into the fire and then pull it out again to smell the smoking end. If he was allowed to get close enough to the fire, he would pull out hot cinders and rub them over his head and chest, or he would place hot ashes on his head. Movement play, the second class, means a change of place merely for the sake of changing. One very remarkable instance of this was seen high up in the mountains. A number of chamois climbed to the upper end of a steep, snow-covered incline and threw themselves in a crouching position. Then, working all four legs in a swimming motion to get a start, they slid down the incline. When they arrived at the bottom they leaped up, and, climbing to the top, started all over again. The third class, or hunting play, is divided into three parts: play with actual living prey, play with living mock prey, and play with lifeless objects. The best illustration of the first case is that of the cat and the mouse. After catching the mouse, the cat plays with it not only because of the practice, but because of the barbaric enjoyment derived from the torture. The second of these cases, play with actual living prey, has two distinct parts: the play of the beast of prey, and the play of herbivorous animals. In the former, the pursuer is far more active and interested in the game than the Heeing one, while with the latter, the animal that is fleeing plays the principal part. Dogs offer the best illustration of the first part. They will chase each other and when the pursuer finally catches the other dog, a playful tussle ensues. Alix tells of a tame fawn which had formed a strong friendship with two huge mastiffs. 'iWhen ready for a game, the fawn would approach the dogs as they lay before the door and tap them gently with her forefoot. She then took to flight and the dogs chased her. The game that followed was exactly like the hide and seek played by children. Another story is told of a tame magpie, which, at the time of the morn- ing recess, flew to the school playground to watch the children while they romped. She expressed her pleasure by hopping excitedly about and snapping her beak. She would stretch her long tail out and when anyone tried to touch it, she would spring so nimbly to one side that they never succeeded .in catching her. She enjoyed this play so much that she would follow anyone who caught at her tail in order to repeat the game. Twenty-two ua -nz I.. rs Q. - o E Q. E 'C u Q -1. Q Courtesy Y PLA CUBS AT ON Na e Pb 2 E L1 U' '1 2 BWENH The last case of hunting play is that with lifeless objects. The way a young dog shakes a scrap of cloth is excellent practice for shaking his prey. A tame puma was delighted when a string or handkerchief was waved before him, and when one person was tired of playing, he was ready for a game with the next comer. lVlany observers tell of cranes that these remarkable and intelligent birds throw stones and bits of mud into the air and try to catch them as they fall. The last class is fighting play. Most animals are as pugnacious in con- ducting their games together as they are over actual prey. A Java ape took particular delight in teasing a snappish house dog. When he took his midday nap out in the court, the monkey would appear and, seizing him softly by the tail, would wake him by a sudden jerk of that member. The enraged dog would fly at his tormentor but he could never reach her because, as he made a rush for her, she sprang at one bound over his head, and the next moment had him by the tail again. Beckmann tells of a young raccoon who had formed an offensive and a defensive alliance with a large bird dog. 'iAs soon as he was unchained in the morning he bounded away to find his friend, and, finding him, he stood on his hind feet and threw his forepaws around the neck of the dog. Then the raccoon inspected his friend very carefully and where his hair was rough he licked it down. The dog stood motionless and strangely serious during this whole inspection, which sometimes lasted a quarter of an hour, but he drew the line at having the creature mount on his back, and the attempt was a signal for a tussle. The raccoon's mode of attack was to spring at the dog's throat, and, thrusting his body between the dog's forepaws, he would hang there. When he succeeded in doing this the dog was worsted and could only roll frantically on the ground in his endeavors to rid himself of the fervid embrace. To the credit of the roguish raccoon it should be said that he never abused his advantage, but contented himself with keeping his head close under the dog's throat out of danger of being bitten. Pechuel-Loesche tells us, in the report of they Loango Expedition, that African sheep are much more pugnacious than the European varieties. He tells of a ram, Mufka, that the travelers kept at their station, and he must have been a tyrant. He said: He would not endure quarreling or noise among the men or animals. When the amorous goats fought, he would look at them inquir- ingly for a while and then deliberately run them down. lf men quarreled he acted as peacemaker in the same thoroughgoing way, much to the amusement of all concerned. On one occasion the spokesman of an inland chief was talk- ing violently before the door, when Mufka gently came up, measured his distance, and dealt a mighty blow so energetically on the solidest part of the man's anatomy that he fell sprawling on the sand. That put an end to the speech. It was a rare spectacle to see the amazed ambassador sitting there, and the ram standing by solemnly gazing at him. fTaken from The Play of Animals, by Karl Crocs., CO-MPILED BY DOROTHY DEVERO. Twenty-four SAM AND MIKE rosy Dvparrmvnl of Parks Twcnly-Hue EWZNH BOY SCOUTS' SUMMER CAMP RONDALE. Scout Reservation is located in a beautiful section of the Ozarks, about seventy-two miles southwest of St. Louis. The camp- ground is about a half-mile from the town of lrondale. The reserva- tion consists of eighty-three acres of rolling land, heavily wooded with oak, hickory, red cedar, and many other varieties of trees. The camp is at an elevation of about a thousand feet above sea level, assuring cool, comfortable nights during the summer. There are also hundreds of acres of surrounding country available for hiking, nature study, and pioneering. lrondale Reservation is one of the best equipped camps in the country. There are one hundred and thirty-one permanent buildings on the reservation, the largest of which is Kiwanis Hall, in the Main Camp, which is used as a dining room and assembly hall for rainy day programs. The Scouts are housed in twenty rustic cabins, each accommodating eight boys. A camp library, a headquarters building, a fully equipped hospital, and a trading post, are also included among the equipment. The swimming pool is two hundred feet long and eighty feet wide, with two diving boards at one end. It is fed by springs of fresh water which bubble up from the bottom of the pool. The overflow of the swimming pool is led into Coleman Lake, a large artificial lake which has been stocked with fish, and is used for various purposes, including certain tests. A program is carried out in camp which enables a boy to receive the greatest possible advantage in the way of mental and physical development. Scoutcraft instruction makes up a large part of the program and every oppor- tunity is given a Scout to advance in rank. The mornings are given over to Scout tests, nature hikes, campcraft, and swimming instruction. ln the after- noon there are hikes, Scout games, and swimming, while in the evening, camp- fires and special activities are held. Each day there is a rigid inspection of the cabins and at retreat, just before supper, the Scouts are inspected as to their personal appearance, and the neatest are appointed to serve for special duties the next day. Each section, one Scout in the Main Camp is elected as Camp Goat. This is a high honor and has many privileges attached to it. When a Scout enters camp, he is tested to see if he can swim. If he can- not swim fifty feet, he is classed as a sinker and given special instruction. There are also instruction classes for the boys who are working on life-saving and swimming merit badges. Only first-class Scouts are privileged to join the Rangers who are quar- tered in the Ranger Camp, located on the same tract of land but operated on an entirely separate program. The Ranger Camp is for Scouts who wish to rough it. There are thirty Adirondack cabins, each accommodating two boys. ln front of each cabin is a reflector fireplace for heating in cool and damp weather. Two old-fashioned rope beds are used for sleeping. Twenty-six BOY SCOUTS AT IRONDALE The best feature of the Ranger Camp is the fine string of riding horses. Horsemanship is taught under experienced instructors. The Rangers are divided into two sections, the Reds and the Blues. As there are sixty Scouts in the camp and only about thirty horses, one section stays at camp and works on Merit Badges or special work, while the other section ricles. There is at least one overnight hike for every section. Each day a regular riding pro- gram is posted and everyone gets his share of riding. Scouts in the Ranger Camp are placed pretty much on their own. A Scout is on his honor and if he does something which, in his own opinion, is wrong, he hands in his neck- kerchief. The Reds have red ones and the Blues blue, to distinguish them. ln the past summers there were usually eight sections, each ten days long. There are special features in each section besides the regular program. The Ranger ten-day hike is an experience which is never forgotten. Only thirty Scouts who have proven their ability to ricle, in previous sections, go on this hike. They are picked not only for their riding, however, but for their living up to the Scout laws. This year there are Hve sections fourteen days long and one twenty-one days long. The three weeks section includes the Fourth of July. A sham battle is held and in the evening a large fireworks display is given. Camp opens on June 4 and closes on September 3, thus giving much more time for Scouts to complete tests during a section and to get more of the privileges of outdoor life. Twenty-seven BUJEHH There is also a winter camp during the Christmas holidays. Although it is only for five days, the Scouts get some real outdoor life. At winter camp fires are kept going all the time in the reflector fireplaces to keep the cabins dry and warm during the zero weather. The Adirondack cabins in the Ranger Camp are used for sleeping quarters despite the fact that the front side of the cabin is open. Usually there is good skating on Big River and, if there is snow, good times are sure to follow. Both summer and winter certain standards are upheld and, by completing certain tests, a Scout can become a Satisfactory or an Honor Camper. The Rangers have an impressive ceremony at the end of each section to give the Honor Ranger his award. CHARLES THORNE.. CARNIVAL TIME T'S Carnival Timel A time when cares and troubles are cast to the winds and everyone is gay with the spirit of the carnival. What carnival? Where is it? you ask. It's any carnival. anywhere in the world. Carnivals are the play time of cities and of nations. China has more carnivals and street fetes than any other country. Many an evening in San Francisco's Chinatown the streets are gay with bright lanterns and thronged with gaily dressed figures and queer floats celebrating some carnival. The European countries as a whole have more carnivals than the United States. California has perhaps more carnivals than any other state. The Rose Parade takes place every January and there are numerous other fetes. ln St. Louis we have the annual visit of the Mystic Veiled Prophet and his gorgeous court. One of the most widely celebrated carnivals is that which is held before Lent. This carnival is nothing but the Lupercalia of the Christian Romans, who could not forget their pagan festivals. It greatly resembles the Saturnalia which was celebrated in December with all kinds of mirth, pleasure and freedom, in honor of Saturn and the golden age when he governed the world, and to pre- serve the remembrance of the liberty and equality of man in the youth of the world. ln Rome the carnival brought to view in a lively manner the old Saturnalia in a new form. During the last days and particularly during those which preceded the long fast, mummeries, plays, and freedom of every kind abounded. From ltaly the modern Saturnalia passed to the other Christian countries of Europe. The wealthiest class commenced its amusements and festivities eight or ten days before Ash Wednesday: the middle classes two or three dayS. and the poor class only one day. Twenty-eight Courtney of Public Library The mummeries of the carnival produced the idea of adopting one char- acter and carrying it through. To please the multitude and make the laugh more certain, the manners of common life were caricatured. On the eve of the fast persons in disguise went from one house to another to make sport of their friends and acquaintances. ln ltaly the carnival is now celebrated with greatest show and spirit at Rome. It lasts for ten days preceding Ash Wednesday, certain observances taking place certain days. For example, some days are devoted to the throw- ing of comfits or of small plaster pellets that take their place. These are flung from the balconies of houses upon persons in the street, who retaliate in like manner. ln order to do this many are mounted on lofty cars. Everyone is masked. After sunset on Shrove Tuesday everyone carries a lighted taper fcalled mocolittil and each tries to extinguish as many others as he can while keeping his own burning. This same carnival, with slight variations, is held in Venice. Turin, lVlilan, Naples and Florence. ln Germany it is celebrated in the cities in the Rhine Valley, in Mayence, Bonn and, above all, Cologne. ln the United States this carnival is celebrated in New Orleans as the Mardi Gras. Various organizations take part in a gorgeous street pageant in which are elaborate tableaux illuminated and mounted upon vehicles as in the parade of the Veiled Prophet in St. Louis. After the parade a magnificent masquerade ball is held. Although in the United States we do not regard our Thanksgiving Day as a carnival, it is so regarded in China. There it is known as the Yu-Ping, or the Feast of the Moon Cakes. This carnival is held at the full moon in the Twenty- nine EUJZIHH eighth month of the Chinese calendar. A clear sky is always eagerly prayed for, as a sight of the moon on this occasion is held to be an augury. It is a very old festival and is chiefly commemorated by an abundance of good things to eat and street parades. They have no turkeys in China, or, if they have, they prefer pigs, and hence the proper dish on this occasion is a porker of eight pounds weight, roasted to a brownish red and seasoned with many sweet-smelling herbs. With this as the main dish come the moon cakes, which in point of complexity and number of ingredients put the plum pudding of our English sires to the blush. They are round, served with a sweet sauce, and are stuffed with a hash of minced pork, watermelon seeds, nuts, ginger, and spices. So far as their appearance is concerned, they are supposed to resemble a full moon: but the resemblance is a conventional one, and a Chinese conven- tion at that. ' Not only are moon cakes eaten at home but friends and relatives pay visits to present them to one another, with many protestations of affection and a preliminary pouring out of libations to the moon. It is a very remarkable carnival and is characterized in the following manner by a Hebrew writer: The children gather wood, the fathers kindle the fires, and the women knead their dough to make cakes to the queen of heaven. A characteristic and unusual carnival of England is called the Whitebait Banquet at Greenwich. lts history is a strange one. It was originally cele- brated at Dagenham village in Essex. On December l7, l707, an extraordi- narily high tide in the Thames broke down a part of the sea wall that pro- tected the neighboring marshes and a thousand acres were flooded. The breach was finally closed in l72l. The land was then all drained except sixty acres known as Dagenham Beach or Dagenham Lake. So important was deemed the maintenance of the restored embankment that a commission was appointed by Parliament to make a periodical inspection. This inspection became an excuse for an annual holiday. After the dispersing of Parliament in the autumn, the commission, with Sir Robert Preston, lVl. P., as president. went down to Dagenham. After the inspection whitebait was served in Breach House, which stood near the flood gates. At one dinner Prime Minister Pitt was an invited guest. Gradually, as the years passed, more and more invita- tions were sent and the outing grew more sumptuous and carnival-like. Even after the inspection was given up the banquet continued. Until his death Preston continued to send invitations to his friends. After his death the fete was transferred to Greenwich and has survived as one of the ministerial festiv- ities of England. So one sees that the carnival forms part of the national spirit of each country-each expressing individuality and the spirit of play. The streets of the city are thronged with gay maskers. Everywhere are heard sounds of mirth and revelry. Everyone is happy and carefree. It is carnival time! a time when cares and troubles are cast to the winds and every- one is gay with the spirit of the carnival. ANI-1-A LEW'-I-Z, Thfrt y Q2 BWEINE PLAY IN JAPAN APPY is the child who spends his playtime in japan! ln that Land of the Setting Sun, where children are the pride of the nation, where adults do everything in their power to provide a full quota of play and harmless sports for the children, one fre- quently sees full-grown, able-bodied natives taking part in juve- nile games and sports. Due to the modern advent of foreigners, japanese sports are not so numerous or elaborate, nor is the same amount of enthusiasm displayed as formerly. A few games of the Japanese children are of a national character, and are played by all classes: most of them, however, are sectional. There are few games in which japanese boys, large or small, take more delight than in flying kites. They Hy kites during February and March, when the wind is the best. Bamboo sticks fastened in a rectangular shape form the framework of these popular toys-tough paper covers the framework. The paper is adorned with images of ancient heroes, beautiful women, dragons, horses, the symbol of the sun, or huge Japanese characters. One may also find kites made to resemble children, or men, birds, animals, or fans. Some kites are six feet square. A humming kite is one with a thin, taut ribbon of whalebone at the top, making a loud, whirring noise as it sails through the sky. The boys often endeavor to destroy the kites of their playmates. The string near the kite, for ten or twenty feet, is dipped first in glue and then in pounded glass. The sharp edges of pounded glass can cut sharply and deeply, by getting the kite in the proper position and suddenly sawing the string on the antagonist's kite. The severed kite falls, to be claimed by the victor. Tops are prominent in the list of the Japanese boys' favorites. Japanese tops are of several kinds: some are of univalve shelves filled with wax, those intended for contests are made of hardwood, and are iron-clad by having a heavy iron ring around them, as a sort of a tire. The boys wind them and throw them in a manner somewhat different from ours. The object of the player is to damage his adversary's top, or stop its spinning. The whipping lop is also known and used. Besides the athletic sports of running, leaping, wrestling, and slinging, Japanese boys play at blind man's buff, hiding-whoop, and with stilts. On stilts they play various games, and run races. japanese children enjoy a heavy snow as much as our own children do, because the snow forms a theatre for their many winter sports. The Japanese boys make snow men and fight mimic battles, much as we Westerners do. On the third day of the third month, the Doll Festival is held. This is the day especially devoted to girls, and to them it is the greatest day in the year. Several days before the Matsuri, the shops are gay with the images bought for this occasion, and which are on sale only at this time. Every respect- Thirty-one BWEIHH able family has a number of these splendidly dressed images, which are from four inches to a foot in height, and which accumulate from generation to gen- eration. For every girl born in a family, two of these images are purchased. She plays with these until she is grown up. When she marries, her images are taken with her to her husband's house, and she gives them to her children, adding to the stock as her family increases. The images are made of wood, or enameled clay. They represent japanese nobility, court minstrels, and various persons in Japanese mythology and history. A great many other toys, representing all the articles in use in a japanese lady's chamber, the service of the eating table, the utensils of the kitchen. traveling equipment, some of them very elaborate and costly, are also exhib- ited and played with on this day. The girls make offerings of sake wine and dried rice to the effigies of the emperor and the empress, and then spend the day with toys, mimicking the whole life of a Japanese woman. ln some families the display is very large and extremely beautiful. The greatest day of the year for the boys is the fifth day of the fifth month. On this day, the Feast of the Flags is held. The toys that the boys have represent the equipment and regalia of a daimio's procession, all kinds of things used in war, the contents of an arsenal, flags, streamers and banners. A set of these toys is bought for every son born in the family. Hence, in old families, the display is extensive and brilliant. Besides the display indoors, on a bamboo pole erected outside, a paper representation of a large fish is hung by a string to the top of the pole. 'The paper is hollow, and the breeze easily fills out the body of the fish, which Flaps its tail and fins in a natural manner. Hundreds of these may be seen floating in the air over a city. This nobori fpaper fish, shows that there are sons in the family. The fish represented is the carp, which is able to swim swiftly against the current and to leap over water falls. This act of the carp is a favorite subject with native artists, and is also typical of the young man. especially of the Samurai, mounting over all difficulties to success and quiet prosperity. The Feast of the Flags ends in playing many games. A game which used to be very popular with the boys represented, in mimic war, the struggles of two great and noble families. The boys ranged themselves in two parties, each with flags. Those of the Heiki were white, those of the Genji were red. Sometimes every boy had a flag and the object of the contest, which was begun at the tap of a gun, was to seize the flags of the enemy. The party securing the greatest number of flags won the victory. ln other cases a Hag was fastened on the back of each contestant, who was armed with a bamboo for a sword and who had fastened on a pad over his head a flat 'round piece of earthenware, so that a party of them looked not unlike the faculty of a college. Often these parties of boys numbered several hundred, and were marshalled in squadrons as in battle. At a given signal, the battle commenced, the object being to break the earthen disk on the head of an enemy. The contest was usually very exciting. Whoever had his disk Thirty- two Courtesy of Public Library demolished had to retire from the Held. The party having the greatest number of broken disks, indicative of cloven skulls, was declared the loser. This game has been forbidden by the government as being too cruel and severe. Boys were often injured in it. So we see that the Japanese boy and girl has his full quota of clean, whole- some games and sports. Possibly it is because they are treated so kindly by everyone and because they have so many pastimes that the japanese children never seem to be bad: one sees them everywhereg always doing what they should, and bothering none. Certainly, at least, the great love of the nation for its children has added materially to the chilclren's happiness and welfare. KENNETT ALLEN. Thirty - three Cvurii-sy Dvpartmcnt of Parks A VACATION IN ST. LOUIS AST year, Jane had visited the Grand Canyon and the West. The summer before she had spent at a girls' camp. This year it was sister Betsy's turn to go to camp, and Father's verdict was that jane must stay home. At first it seemed rather boresome to have to remain in St. Louis during the entire vacation, but jane decided to make the best of it and to enjoy the summer as much as possible with her friends at home. Within a few weeks a letter arrived just crammed full of Betsy's scrump- tious adventures at camp. Jane retaliated promptly, as follows: Dearest Bets: I ' Don't you think you've made me jealous - I'm having a keen time here at home. Nearly every day some sort of interesting engagement has been planned and carried out. Peg, Marge and I have been swimming several times. The Marquette pool might not be so big and cold as Lake Michigan, but there's a good deal of shallow water there and plenty of deep, and lots and lots of people. The Fairgrounds pool is even better, and there's a separate wading pool for the little tots. Last Saturday we went swimming at the Sherman Park Community Centerg the pool is in- doors there, and the building is splendidly equipped for all kinds of sports and entertainments. One of the directors told us that the building is the most modernly equipped community center in the United States. Isn't that interesting? Tennis is as good a sport as ever. We play every morning either in Tower Grove or Reservoir Park. I'm practicing on the backhand and have learned to return the swiftest balls. Yesterday evening we played at Forest Park-it was grand and cool and very delightful on the illumi- nated courts.

We roasted hot dogs on an oven in Forest Park, and then went canoeing on the lagoon. Just think, Bets, just about seven months ago the Ice Carnival was held in that very place! Remember? ln the evening we went to the lVIuny Opera and saw 'The Red lVlill'--the music was darling and the Dutch costumes and scenery were picturesque. Speaking of music, we have heard several fine programs in the bandstands in the different parks recently. lf you arrive home August 29, you'll be in time to attend the Play- ground Festival.

It's a great event that takes place every year at the end of the summer, and is presented by representatives of the twenty-five city playgrounds. You really can't imagine what a good time I'm having.

I've learned that our city is a mighty good place to spend the summer in after all, and I appreciate St. Louis many times more than I used to. IVIARIAN JUDELL. DANCE AT PLAYGROUNDS FESTIVAL Courtcsg! IV. F. Yurgvr Thirtu -seven QQ BWHHH PLAY IN HOLLAND HE national amusements and children's games of Holland have been handed down from generation to generation. The Frisian peasant is very fond of the game Kloven, which is an older form of golf, and on a Sunday morning after church, dressed in his velvet suit and low buckled shoes, he may be seen engaged in this sport. About a century ago the people of southern Holland played a game called Malien. This game required a large area of ground at one end of which two poles were erected joined by a porch. The ball was driven by a long stick with an iron head and a leather grip, called a Nlalien kolf. The ball had to touch both poles and roll through the porch. The Eiergaaren is a most interesting game played on one of the principal streets of the village on Easter Monday, and it is the custom for all of the village people to be there. At two o'clock the innkeeper makes his appearance with a basket containing twenty-five eggs. These eggs are placed on the road at a distance of twelve feet apart. ln the center of the road is placed a tub of water with a very large apple floating in it. Two men are then chosen from the villagers, and while one has his hands tied behind him and is told to eat the apple, the other must run around pick up all the eggs and arrange them in the basket. The one finishing first receives, as a prize, the basket of eggs. It is great fun to see the man attempting his first bite, for that is the hardest one. Wise men will push the apple against the side of the tub and thus have an advantage in getting their first bite. At the finish of the game the majority of the villagers turn their steps toward the public house, where they drink to the good health of the winner. Billiards are very popular with the peasant and working classes on Sunday afternoons. Games of chance are also very numerous in Holland. Private persons owning a bicycle must have a license, but, nevertheless, they are quite popular as a means of recreation. The children's games are almost all outdoor games. Driving a hoop was as popular with children in the eighteenth century as it is now, but then it was classed as a sport and the most skillful received prizes in the races that were held quite often. The children had to drive their hoops a certain distance and the one arriving first received, as a prize, a silver coin, which was fastened to his hoop as a trophy. It was considered a great honor to a child for his or her hoop to make a great deal of noise when rolling down the street, for it showed that the owner had received many prizes. The little girls of the laboring class have not much time for play because they are needed at home to perform many duties, but in the afternoons or in the evenings they are quite happy with a piece of rope and their skipping songs, as they skip away a few pleasant hours. Thirty-eight COURTESY OF PUBLIC LIBRARY Thirty-nine BWENE ln the winter the great sport of Holland is ice skating. Almost as soon as a child learns how to walk, he is taught how to skate. Everyone in that country enjoys skating and very often errand boys skate from one place to another to get their orders or do whatever they must do. As in America people have touring parties in the summer, the people of Holland have skating parties in the winter. Among the peasant classes in southern Holland the people skate to Gauda, where the men buy long Gauda pipes and the women buy Caudsche sprits, which are cakes, both being very brittle objects, and then they skate home. Every passerby knocks against them and tries to upset them, thus breaking their articles. Their object in going to Gauda is not only to buy these things but also to bring them home safely. On the way are little tents in which warm milk and sweet cakes are sold to the skaters, but they may well expect to drink their milk out of sticky, unwashed cups, for the cloth to wipe them on is usually frozen. Very often they have ice carnivals in which races are held. There is a racer for every poor family and, if there is no son big enough to take part in the race, a young man ofthe better classes usually offers his services, and, if successful, he gives the prize to the family he offered to help. The prizes are usually something useful-potatoes, rice, or coal, which are very welcome to the poor families in winter. Last is the popular fete, held on the 5th of December, called St. Nicholas Day. St. Nicholas was the Bishop of Lycia. ln the Middle Ages he was chosen as the patron saint of Amsterdam and for centuries the Dutch children have been taught that he rewards good children and punishes bad ones: also that he makes his appearance on the day mentioned and places toys in their shoes. ln Amsterdam the Bishop dresses up in an imposing costume, and, mounted on a white pony, rides through the streets. He is followed by his black servant. armed with a birch rod and driving a cart loaded with toys and packages. lt is not known that he ever found a child bad enough on whom to use the rod. On this occasion gifts are distributed among relatives and friends, but it is the custom for the sender to conceal his identity. He must disguise his handwriting to do this. Many times tricks are played on the receivers of presents. The present-will sometimes be folded up in a dozen wrappers, each wrapper bearing the name of a different member of the family, and it is passed from hand to hand as each wrapper is removed. Another joke is the sending of a very small article in a large parcel. These are a few of the games of 'the people of Holland. ADELE FIXMAN. X Aff AQ-flu-'Hn I ,I T lg 4, Fong BWHHH JAZZ ODAY, whenever there is a little social gathering at one of our homes, we move the chairs and table aside, roll up the rug, turn on the phonograph, and dance to the popular music of a dance orchestra. lf we listen in on the radio, we find that one of the numbers on the program will be several popular selections by a dance orchestra. At the theatres we hear popular music. When we walk down the street, we hear someone humming or whistling a popular tune. Everywhere we hear this popular music, which has been called jazz, this reflection of the pep and ginger and carefree attitude of our age and generation. The origin of jazz is not exactly known. lt is said to have had its begin- ning in the South, inspired by some of the negro songs, and from them its lineage is even traced back to the African jungle. It was first heard about ten or twelve years ago and rapidly spread over the entire country. In its early years it was nothing more than a jumbling of noises by some four or five instru- ments, and must have justified its definition of uragtime music in discordant tones. it has, however, developed beyond that stage. Paul Whiteman, who made jazz famous, was the first to score it, and he did a great deal toward its betterment in his orchestral arrangements. Jazz is the only real contribution toward music during the twentieth century. It is typically American and quickly gained favor with the public, especially among the younger people. But, of course, it has been criticized severely and condemned as even unworthy of being called music. It must be remembered that it is still very young and that it is improving. Many of the great masters, as, for instance, Wagner, were not recognized either, for quite a few years, but today they are immortal. Jazz has received the favorable comments of many of the great artists. Rudolph Ganz says that he approves of it as a new contribution toward music. Mrs. Kreisler states that since Mr. Kreisler has become interested in jazz he is playing it all the time and does hardly any practicing. Galli-Curci would rather listen to a musical comedy than a grand opera. And there are others who voice the same opinions. Its light and joyous nature, its simple and attractive melodies, its fast tempo, make jazz so popular. For dancing its fascination and exhilarance make it ideal. After a hard day's work, when we look for diversion, we find in it a delightful enjoyment. For everyone jazz affords entertainment, and today it is one of our greatest recreations. PAUL 5-I-ALMANN. 'WU' 'wif W ' W .,.l P' ' 5' lf!! l ' ' Forty-one EWZHE f CAMP OKOBOJI HE HIGHEST ambition of a Girl Reserve, the girls' section of the Y. W. C. A., is to be sent to the summer conference at Camp Okoboji. Each G. R. club in the city is supposed to send a representative. Girls from seven states assemble at this beautiful camp, which is situated on the third bluest lake in the world, Lake Okoboji, to spend ten days in the friendly atmosphere and good fellowship which prevail during conference. The trip is made by railroad and the girls get to spend CI won't say sleepl one night on the train. They disembark at Milford, Iowa, where they are met by machines and taken to the camp. The cars drive right up in front of the dining hall and office, which stands about fifty yards back from the lake front on a cliff about twenty feet high. The girls are assigned to Bojis. fThere is a unique way of naming the quarters: the counselors' cottages are called Okos, the first two syllables of Okobojig the girls' cottages are called Bojis, the last two syllables of Okobojij Each Boji is a long, low structure, frame half way up and screen the rest of the way. Down the center is a hallway and on either side are ten rooms partitioned off with plaster board. Two girls are assigned to a room, each containing two cots and a shelf. Thus there are forty girls to a Boji. Although two girls from the same city are usually put in a room, all the members of the delegation from that place are not kept togetherg they are scattered through all five Bojis. The camp is run on the self-government plan. Each Boji is divided into two groups with a counselor at the head of each. These groups elect a repre- sentative to send to council where the rules of the camp are made and the program is worked out. The following is the camp schedule: 6:00 Rising l 2 :00 Dinner 6:15 Setting up or morning dip l :30 Rest hour 6:45 Flag raising 3:00 Recreation 7:00 lnspection 5:30 Clean up 7 :30 Breakfast 6:00 Supper 8:00 Assembly 7 :30 Assembly 9:00 Boji groups assembly 9:00 Warning bell l0:00 Recreation 9:15 Lights out 9:30 Taps fquietl The morning assembly is devoted to health talks, Bible study, or morning worship. Then the Boji groups get together to discuss any problems of life, habits, etc., that they wish to do. Forty-two During the morning, recreation classes in archery, tennis, life-saving, blue- printing, camp cooking, woodcraft, and swimming and diving are conducted. The girls may receive instruction in any of these that they choose. At rest hour the girls have to lie down and rest from l :30 to 2:30, then they may get up and read or write letters until 3:00 o'clock, but they must stay in their Bojis. The afternoon recreation period is devoted to hiking, swimming, tennis. anything one wishes to do. At 5:30 the girls must dress for supper. After supper there is about half an hour before the evening assembly. Usually a group goes down on the lake shore to sing. The evening assembly is given over to classes. The girls are divided into groups and each group takes up one phase of G. R. work so that the girls may help to run their clubs more successfully the coming year. There is a group to study and plan the course of each committee, such as membership, social, program, service, etc. lt is so arranged that the delegation as a whole receives all the instruction by sending at least one girl to each group. During the ten days spent at Okoboji there are several beautiful cere- monials. The first night, after the camp is organized, a large camp fire is built and then one girl from each delegation steps forward and, placing a small fagot on the fire, gives in a few lines what her delegation is going to contribute to the conference. The St. Louis contribution last year was: We, the St. Louis delegation, come in a spirit of friendliness to add our interest and enthusiasm to that of the others in promoting the success of the confer- ence. Another ceremonial is held on World-Fellowship Day. At flag raising, the flags of twelve nations are put up. ln the afternoon the group studying social committee work gains a bit of experience by serving Japanese tea in the pagoda down by the lake. The girls wear pretty kimonas and felt slippers. This helps very much to get the girls into the spirit of the day. Forty-three EWEINE That night the girls gather down on the lake shore, about a quarter of a mile from camp, where a number of girls dressed in the native costumes of many foreign countries dance native dances and sing folk songs around a huge bonfire. Then each girl is supplied with a candle which she lights from the fire. This is placed in the Japanese lantern that she is supposed to have brought with her. Then, forming a line two or three deep, the girls walk back along the lake to camp, singing songs. It is a very impressive scene when viewed from a distance to see this long line of various colored lights winding its way along the shore. One of the old traditions of the camp is the Gypsy Pateran. All the girls dress in gypsy array and go to a pretty open place in the woods about three miles from the camp, where the last year's conference has left a message buried in a metal box beneath a huge pile of stones. Here they eat dinner and sing and dance until sundown. Then, as the sun goes down, the pateran from last year is opened by each girl taking a stone from the pile. Then the metal box is opened and the message from last year is read and then burned. A new message to the next year's conference is placed in the box and the stones are replaced. You may be sure that the girls are loath to leave when the time comes, but there is always the pleasure of correspondence with new' acquaintances and the discussion of the good times at camp. RUTH JANE BATHER. CHINESE F ANTASTICS S CHINA is a topsy-turvy country, so are many of its amusements. As they read a book from the back forwardg as they lock the door by turning the key to the left, not to the right: as they take off their shoes, not their hats, on entering the house: as they eat dessert first, not last: as they strike a match toward themselves, not away: as when serving tea they place the saucer on top of the cup. not under: as they drink hot beverages to cool themselves, while we drink cold ones: as they wear white, not black, in mourningg so, if you were to enter a Chinese theater, you would find that the audience furnish most of their own entertainment: for, except for the occasional uhaol haol - Ugoocl! good! -called out by the audience especially interested, they show little interest in the play. There are incessant chatterings, merry tea drinkings. bowings, handshaking, moving back and forth. Twenty cents in Chinese money buys a seat in the front row of the balcony, the best place to observe the actors and spectators, with a cup of hot tea placed on the ledge before you. As soon as your cup is emptied it is imme- diately filled, as tea is the life fluid of the Chinese. ln the theater a person's Forty-four BUJEIHH social standing is completely lost, and officials, ladies, children and coolies all mingle in having a good time. The performance may have been going on for hours, or for daysg but to arrive late gives one no inconvenience, because, to an, Occidental, one part of the play is as intelligible as another. The favorite themes concern a jilted suitor, a nagging mother-in-law, a story from ancient history, and a henpecked husband. The henpecked husband theme is funnier in China than elsewhere, because a Chinese husband likes to pretend he is beholding an absurdity impos- sible in real life. The stage, raised to the height of a man's head, is curtainless, with two doors, one on each side, for the entrance and exit. The orchestra--flutists, fiddlers, drummers, gong-beaters-squats on one side of the stage, supposedly invisible. There is no scenery, no curtain. Not only must one visualize the invisible, mountains, taverns, horses, snowstorms, battles, brooks, trees, and flowers, but one must pretend not to see what is visible-as the musicians. who are squatting on the stage in their street clothes, and the property man. who performs his duties regardless of the play. The actors, too, act the same way. They think nothing of drinking tea during the play. If an actor dies or is killed, nothing is thought if he gets up a short time later and walks off the stage. Many of the characters are symbo- lized: a red veil means a bride: a square hat, a good official, a black veil with strips of white paper stuck under the right ear, a ghost: and darkness is shown by candle light. But the quaintest action of the theaters has not been mentioned yet, without which nothing to the Chinese would be complete. As one gazes into the audience below, he notices that at intervals there skim above the spectators bundles of hot towels. To the Chinese, to feel a hot towel on his face and neck is the most refreshing thing possible. Accordingly, the theater serves its customers with them. It has its own plant for steaming them, and, as it is impossible for an attendant to walk through the crowd, he wraps them in bundles and hurls them to attendants in the other parts of the house who distribute them and then send them back to be re-steamed. WILEY BlSCHOFF. 4? fd LJ , 15,7 I 42 I . ,fiil :gif L 5 gn a s - L Forty-five ROUND SPRINGS STATE PARK Pfwfv bu J- M- Russell THE WONDERS OF THE OZARKS EARS ago, longer even than the oldest residents of the state can recall, a tribe of lndians, the Shawnees, had their habitat in south- ern Missouri. Along the banks of swift-moving streams they pitched their wigwams. Happy these Indians were, and, after a number of years, they became one of the most powerful of Missouri tribes. But time changed the order of things. just at the pinnacle of their pros- perity the tribe was beset by a terrible plague. With winter at hand their feeble resistance was of no avail. Before spring hundreds of red men lay buried under the sod. ln the many branches of the tribe all over southern Missouri, there was great mourning, and, in terror, the land was evacuated, never more to be the happy hunting ground of the red man. Today, carefree tourists traversing the ribboned highways, through the Ozarks do not stand in awe of Indian spirits, neither, unless their attention is attracted to it, do they remember that the wooded hills and sweeping vales were once peopled by hundreds of red men. Yet mute evidence of all this is found from the Arkansas line north to within fifty miles of St. Louis. This section, popularly known as the Ozarks, received its name from the early Spanish explorer who accompanied the intrepid De Soto on his way northward from Florida, many, many years ago. As the trekking party came in view of the placid Mississippi, near a point where the city of De Soto now stands, they became enraptured by the awe-inspiring scene, the hazy cliffs, the purple hills, and the shining river on the bosom of the earth. One man, astounded at the wonder of the thing, exclaimed, Booz Arcs. This, trans- lated, means, Those hills. These two famous words of that Frenchman have been passed down through the years as the name of this country. How- ever, instead of using the French words, we now call it the Ozarks, and the surrounding country is well deserving of such a pleasing name. Thousands of these acres of primeval wonderland are now preserved in parks which are Forty-six BIG Pholo by J. M. Russell supervised by the government. Thus, some of nature's wonders are preserved for coming generations to enjoy. Because of the interest our government has taken in thisvsection, the most beautiful points are easily accessible. Splendid roads have been extended all over the state for the convenience of the people. ' I I . One cannot spend his vacation in a more enjoyable manner than to make an inspection of the state parks. ' Although Big Springs State Park is not the largest of lVlissouri's state parks, it is by far the most picturesque insofar as scenery is concerned,gand is also vastly superior from an educational point of view, containing, as it does, some of the most interesting geological curiosities in the country, including the famous Big Springs, the curiously formed cliffs from the base of which the spring gushes forth, and Current River itself, winding like a silver ribbon through the verdured conhnes of the park. Tourists who have camping para- phernalia may use the big camp site free of charge. On the banks of the Current River, in the center of the park, the state has built a modern bath house for tourists. A commissary, where foods may be purchased, is also maintained. Near at hand is the large camping ground, which can accommodate several hundred campers at one time. Here are also many interesting nooks and crannies to be explored, acres of forest to be wandered through, and steep cliffs and rolling hills to be climbed. Wild turkey and deer, as well as rabbits and squirrels, are sometimes seen roving through the State Park. Another famed beauty spot in the Ozarks country is Lake Taneycomo, in Taney County, near the Arkansas state line. This is in the center of the great resort region of southwest Missouri. It is easily accessible by well made roads from Springfield. Headquarters are best established at Branson or at Hollister, Forty-seven Photo by J. M. Russell though many anglers go around the lake to Forsythe, which is a smaller and more rustic village. Anyone seeking a vacation point where beautiful country. excellent accommodations, good fishing and boating, bathing, and horseback riding are combined, can do no better than to motor to Lake Taneycomo. For the tourist whose tendencies do not run to fishing, the Niangua Spring State Park, formerly known as Bennett's Spring State Park, presents an interesting spot in which to while away the fleeting hours of the usual fortnight vacation period. This park, one of the smaller ones of the Missouri State Park System, contains 600 acres of forest, valley and hill country. lt is located twelve miles west of Lebanon on Route No. I4 out of St. Louis, and twenty miles east of Buffalo on Route No. 3, the secondary highway traversing the state from north to south. p The Ozarks country possesses so many beautiful places that only a few can be mentioned here, but if only two of these beauty spots were to be con- sidered, Hahatonka Park, with bewitching Lake Hahatonka nestling like a jewel in a setting of bold, rugged hills, could not possibly be forgotten. This park contains seven caves known for their marvelous stalactite and stalag- mite formations, a remarkable natural bridge, a mammoth spring discharging an average of l50,000,000 gallons of water per day, and an artesian well with valuable medicinal properties. Lebanon can best be made one's head- quarters while sojourning in this part of the Ozarks. Both Niangua and Haha- tonka Parks are approachable from this point and possibly the best hotels in the region are located there. Lebanon, too, is about 189 miles from St. Louis and is connected with it by a well made road, part of which is concrete. These places should not be overlooked by the metropolitan motorist. But enough of this: I have yet to relate of other places just as charming as these. There is Rymer's Rustic Ranch, eight miles north of Birch Tree, Foriy-eight 1 i i SHUT-IN CANYON-REYNOLDS COUNTY ROCKY FALLS-WINONA, MO. Plwtm hu J. M. Ruxwll Forty-nine BVJEIHH and Arcadia Mountain Resort in dreamy Arcadia Valley, which, like Niangua and Hahatonka, are easily accessible over highway trunks that are traversable the year round. Rymer's Ranch is a veritable caravansary in the wilderness, and yet, somehow, it is imbued with a breath of home. The modern conveniences which equip this place seem strangely out of place in the primeval wilderness of the Jack's Fork Ozarks in which it is situated. Yearly hundreds of St. Louisans wander through the hill lane leading north from Birch Tree to the ranch, there to fish, to swim, to hike o'er the mountain trails, to ride by horse o'er lanes 'long which the dusky redskin once lurked, or just to roam in serene contentment through the sylvan scenes. to commune with Nature, which, after all, is the best of out-of-door sports. Now we come to Schroeder's Arcadia Mountain Resort at Lake Killarney and many other places in the Arcadia Valley country, call them by what name you will, they all are clothed in that atmosphere of vacation time which lingers as a haunting reminiscence through long winter months. Wherever one goes through the amazing Ozark hills one sees cozy cabins, which are being built to ,accommodate wandering tourists: one sees rough river and creek banks being transformed into sandy bathing beachesg tennis courts, golf courses, and dancing pavilions are springing up. The onward rush of civilization is overcoming it. For persons of moderate means, who enjoy bathing, canoeing, fishing, forested hills, bare bluffs and ledges, and pioneer simplicity, the Ozarks are an excellent recreation ground. The scenery of the Ozarks cannot be excelled in any other part of the United States and can well compare with foreign recreation grounds. Many people who have not realized how beautiful this section really is have gone far away for their pleasure, when' the greatest charm lies really close at hand. Very few have traversed this wonderful land and discovered the marvelous treasures which it holds. Beauty, charm, novelty and educational benefits can be derived from this lonely yet truly alluring territory so close to us. Still, it seems, we do not make proper use of its wonderful opportunitiesg centered in its bewitching forests, its winding, enchanting roads, its silver-ribboned lakes and rivers, its burning-gold beeches, and its charming modern accommoda- tions. What a lesson the American citizens would learn, what an advantage they would gain and how pleased they would be with the results if they would forget about their foreign travels and adopt the motto, See America First, especially the vast and marvelous wonders of the Ozarks, which are awaiting their i!lSpeCtl0l'1.

HJ J A 4 ll- mill H A ff' mr CASTLE AT HA HA TONKA CAMP NIANGUA AND THE HA HA TONKA REGION NE of the most beautiful and best known spots in the Ozarks is Ha Ha Tonka Park. It is about twenty-five miles from Lebanon. Missouri, in the very heart of the Ozarks. It is about eight miles square, and every inch holds in it some new wonder. The first sight of the park is the best. You ride along the highway peacefully when, at a bend in the road, you find a little post office. Here you dismount, climb out, and follow a trail to the right of the road. Suddenly you come to a ridge, and a beautiful panorama is just as suddenly completely spread before you. Almost at your very feet, perhaps one hundred yards directly below you, is Horseshoe Lake. At the farther end of the curve stands the famous summer resort. Closer in there are many caves, a balancing rock, an old water wheel, and down to your right is the spring which feeds the lake. It is said that a million gallons of water come from it in an hour. The water comes in thus, flows almost imperceptibly down to the farther end of the lake, and then over a dam and out into the Niangua River. On the other side of the ridge is a deep hole. At the very bottom of it is Counterfeiters' Cave. It is said to have been here that a gang of counter- feiters worked some forty years ago, until surprised and killed or captured by some government agents. Following along the ridge to the right, you come to the Castle, which is in reality not a castle, but a huge stone house, built by a Kansas City manu- facturer who formerly owned the whole park. Fifty-one BVJEHH But if such a beautiful place would make a sustained appeal to only the dreamer, perhaps it is advisable to float down the Niangua till you reach Camp Niangua. Camp Niangua is the St. Louis Y. M. C. A. boys' camp. lt is held during the ten weeks of vacation immediately following the closing of school. The final week of the vacation is usually given over to the boys belonging to the Hi-Y. Usually they work in the summer and are able to get off only during this one week. Spending a vacation at this camp is always worth while. Getting out where he has to go on his own merits in a place like a summer camp shows what sort of a fellow a boy is. On the canoe trips, especially, is this so, for a boy has to paddle hard all day, often does not have as much as he would really like to eat, and then perhaps has to sleep on rocks or hard ground with rain coming down like fury. Clt's a great life, if you don't weakenll lt is at times like this that you can really see whether you are able to stand the gait, or whether you are a mollycoddle. The play side of camp is extremely important, and is emphasized. Only too often the boys in the city are not able to get as much exercise as is really necessary for strong, healthy bodies. There is an athletic period in the morning and one in the afternoon. incidentally, no one ever leaves camp without having learned to swim. However, it is necessary that there be work as well as play, and there is a work period every morning in which the camp and cabins are cleaned up. Cabin inspection, if not the most popular thing at camp, certainly helps the boys, and they should be able to keep their rooms straight when they get home I l if The educational and devotional sides are of course stressed. The camp program has four sides-intellectual, physical, devotional, and service. When a boy has earned a certain number of points on each side, he is given an award, the highest award being Guide. There is also an honor, called the Winged Square, which cannot be earned, but is awarded by the counselors to boys who score 90 per cent or better on ten tests of character. It is the highest honor that the camp can award to a boy. But it is the canoe trips that are never forgotten. Paddling down where the river broadens out and great trees border the sides of the river, perhaps having clear spaces here and there where you can see through the trees far out over the countryg or in places where the river is narrowed down, with huge cliffs towering over the canoe until it seems dwarfed immeasurably by com- parison: or down swift rapids, with the rocks and snags in the water requiring all of one's skill and strength to keep from overturning at some dangerous turng and then in the evening, sitting around the campfire, cracking jokes, singing songs and telling stories, all these make it a time that, no matter how far one may be from such things in the future, will never be forgotten. ROLAND IVIILLER. Fifty-two CANYON AT HA HA TONKA Fifi y -lhrce EWEHH THE ZOO Where are you going, my lass? asked he. I'm going out to the Zoo, said she. Out where the tigers leap and play, Where bears sit out in the sun all dag, Where crowds of people are watching, too. The nicest place in the town's the Zoo. -Virginia Jacobs, '3I. THE ST. LOUIS ZOO VISIT to the Zoo! Who isn't happy with the anticipation of such a visit? Nearly two million people annually visit this Zoo, which is rapidly becoming the finest in the world. This number consists of both St. Louisans and others, so outsiders, as well, are inter- ested. President Coolidge, with just two hours in St. Louis, ex- pressed and carried out a desire to see our Zoo. These facts attest its popularity and excellence. The best way to fully enjoy the Zoo is to make an all day trip of it. A great many people take advantage of this idea and thus get the full benefit of the many attractions. About the first place to visit is the wonderful bear pits. These dens are made of concrete and are copied from the palisades on the Mississippi. The bears are housed under the most natural conditions possible. There are moats which keep the bears from escaping, but, otherwise, the pits have every appear- ance of reality. Hundreds of thousands of people visit these dens every year and it is probably needless to say that they are the finest bear dens, made by man, in the world. Next, one visits the lion-house, in which lions, tigers, and other cat-like animals are kept. It is hoped some clay to have lion dens similar to the bear pits. Then comes the elephant house in which the hippopotamus and the ele- phants, Jim and Martha, are kept. Jim is an example of the success of the donations which the Zoological Society is always encouraging. He was bought by the pennies saved by the school children of St. Louis. The immense bird cage is the largest in the world. Among the fine collec- tion of birds are eagles, hawks, peacocks, geese, pigeons, cranes, pelicans and owls. Then one must see the animals which live mostly out-of-doors, such as the opossums, raccoons, ostriches, zebras, elk, deer, tapirs, goats, sheep, yaks, gnus, buffaloes, camels, armadillos, ant-eaters and ever so many more. Fifty-four -sf , L. u Q. -g o 'E f., E 'C u Q W Q :- V, N L. Cou RK PA R BEARS AT FOREST LA PO E1 'fl - '-C I Z3 C. Q QQBWZIHH Another very interesting feature of the Zoo is the sea lion pool. The seals are very playful and are continually romping. Many people are amused by them and there is always a large crowd around this pool-especially on Sunday. Now comes one of the most, if not the most, interesting attractions of the whole Zoo-the monkey-house. This house was just recently completed and cost several hundred thousand dollars. It is exceedingly spacious, but, in spite of this, it is always crowded. One feature of this house that is very entertain- ing is that at 3 o'clock every day, a performance is given by the large anthro- poid apes. Then the house is packed. These apes do everything from eating their meals according to the book of etiquette to tight rope walking. They play ball, ride bicycles, kiddy cars, do acrobatic stunts, shoot guns, dance, play the piano, and, in fact, they do almost everything that the average Rooseveltian is able to do. Then, having finished this journey and having been immensely enter- tained, and having acquired much valuable information, one feels certain that the clay has been profitably spent, and is ready, in another month, to revisit this wonderful Zoo and marvel at it again.

GSE BWEHH TOO MANY MOUTHS QA TRUE sToRYp AR, in all its horrible phases, has at one time or another left its dark stain upon France. The French peasants, especially, are the sufferers of a great war. These poor people, who provide French writers with so many tales and stories of violent passions, live in a realm of sordid meanness in which human life counts little when material interests are at stake. This environment is responsible for many French tragedies. In Duval, a village on the outskirts of Paris, there is a small farm, the home of Jacques Levanne. Levanne was a poor peasant who worked his small farm for a scanty existence. I-Ie had his wife, daughter, and mother-in- law to provide for, and so'on, he knew, there would be another one to care for. So, on a crisp October day in l922, he left his farm and went to Paris to seek more profitable employment. On that very same day, Mme. l..evanne's second child was born. Toward evening, when little Lucienne, the Hve-year-old daughter, was nowhere to be found, a kind neighbor who was visiting offered to search for her. It was he who found the girl's small body under bales of hay in Levanne's barn. There were blue marks on her neck-it was very obvious that she had been strangled. It was clearly a brutal, cold-blooded murder, so detectives were called in. Returning from Paris, the next day, Levanne was stopped by detectives before he reached the threshold of his home. He was surprised when he was taken into custody, but he was astounded when the situation was explained to him. I-Ie asked to see his wife. I-Ier eyes were red and swollen, her face was sulleng the muscles in it were tense and drawn, her mouth was set. She would answer very few of her husband's questions, and muttered over and over. I'm sure it was for the best. The terrorized woman cried out to her grieving husband as he was being taken away, Don't blame me, Jacques, it wasn't my fault. Four months later, the trial was held. Jacques had planned a very con- vincing statement-there should be no doubt but that he was guilty. So, when he mounted the stand in the small court room, he said, My little girl-little Lucy-meant more than anything in the world to me, but I was poor. I have a wife and a mother-in-law to feed, and, with the new baby, I knew the expense would be too great for me. I could not bear to see the poor child go hungry, and I knew she would, so I strangled her to death while she slept, and hid her body in the barn. IVIy poor little girl will never go hungry now. I-lis voice choked with sobs and the grief-stricken man was taken away. Moved by the grief and devotion of the hysterical man, the jury requested that he be given only five years' imprisonment. With the thought that he was shielding a guilty wife, the grief-stricken man went to prison. One Hundred Eight EWENE Conflicting emotions clutched at Mme. l..evanne's heart. Great was her desire to free her husband of all blame, but fear for the guilty one prevented her from so doing. The woman, mad with grief, fell in with a crew of charcoal burners, where she obtained her livelihood. Life in the prison was by no means easy for Levanne. As he lay on his cot at night, he often wondered how he could ever live with his wife again, knowing, as he did, about her crime, he often wished he had been given the death sentence. He was treated kindly at the prison, and the pity of the offi- cials helped him, still a strong and able man, to gain his freedom in less than three years. Fate was not so kind to Mme. Levanne. She worked hard from morning till late at night with the woodsmen. The half-starved, skinny, bony, gray- haired creature, in whose bosom for several years there had clung a deep secret, was already an old woman. But she was only human, and she knew that some time she would have to divulge this secret which was eating out her heart. As Levanne was leaving prison, he was attracted by the motions of a new convict. He perceived that the fellow had something to say to him, so he went to the man's cell. l have some information for you, the fellow began. Your wife, while talking to a charcoal burner l know, told him something that you would be interested in -then the inmate finished his story in whispers. He didn't want to be overheard, as conversation is forbidden to those in solitary confinement. The story had a decided effect on Levanne. He stood aghast-then his face hardened, his eyes glittered, they became steely, his limp hands contracted into fists, his loose jaw became set. An angry, determined man left the prison that evening. Carrying out his plan, Jacques Levanne petitioned the government to order a re-investigation of the murder. His request was fulfilled, and, with himself as chief witness for the government, the whole truth, astounding as it sometimes is, was at last revealed. Both Mme. Levanne and her mother had confessions to make. The younger woman stated that on the day her second baby was born, Mme. Diderot, her mother, had said, Two mouths to feed are too much for us. Mme. Levanne also stated that her mother had often professed a dislike for Lucy, and she ended her testimony by publicly accusing her mother of com- mitting the crime. The old woman did not deny her daughtefs accusation: instead, abso- lutely devoid of shame, she unblushingly confessed the crime and explained it thus. in a very self-satisfied manner: You see wen had no means to keep two children: so l caught Lucienne in the barn and squeezed her neck as hard as l could. l am not as strong as l used to be. She fell to the ground, her body limp: l left her there. I returned later and found her still breathing, so l piled bales of hay on top of her and finished the job. KENNETH K. ALLEN.

F. in France, leaped from the couch upon which he was lying and saluted as his captain appeared in the doorway. The captain, Farnum was his name, handed him a small package with the order, Take this to Captain Wilcox at Somme Mais immediately. Harrington saluted and strode outside to carry out the order. He paused a minute in the doorway and inspected the sky. It had a sickly yellow color and there was a stillness in the air that portended a storm. Shrugging his shoulders, Harrington clambered into one of the army supply trucks and, after assuring himself there was enough gasoline for the sixty-mile ride, drove off. ln the distance the dull thunder of the heavy artillery could be heard. However, he felt perfectly secure, for the scene of the fighting had shifted away from this section. He was driving along slowly, picking out the smoothest spots in the road, when he heard a sudden swish above his head, followed by a terrific crash. There was a blinding flash, a sickening jolt, and the soldier lost consciousness. When he came to, he was lying at the bottom of a huge crater formed by the exploding shell. He took a few minutes to gather his wits together and then staggered to his feet, hugging to his side the package which he was to deliver. One thought constantly raced through his brain. He must fulfill his trust and get the package to its destination. By the roadside, he could see barbed wire entanglements and wreckage similar to that he had left behind. Once he spied a body of German troops. He sank behind some bushes and waited until the danger had passed, then pressed forward. To make the situation worse, the impending storm broke, flooding the surrounding country. Occasionally he fell, each succeeding attempt to rise sapping his already failing energy. Three hours later, Captain Wilcox was aroused by a feeble knocking whic.h sounded above the roar of the wind and rain. He opened the door and beheld a strange sight. With blood streaming from a cut on his temple and a gash in his side, covered with mud from head to foot, and his bloodshot eyes peering from beneath his disheveled hair, a soldier stumbled into the room, handed the captain a package, and panted, A package from Captain Farniumf' Captain Wilcox, opening the package, glanced in, and then showed it to the soldiers. The contents consisted of a telescope and a few bars of chocolate. Harrington, stunned, looked stupidly at the officer, turned on his heel, and fell dead at the captain's feet-just as the telephone rang. The officer answered and a voice said, Hello, This Captain Wilcox? This is Farnum speaking. I wanted to tell you about that package l sent. I had gathered a lot of information about the enemy's position which was so impor- tant that l wanted to take extra precautions. lf you unscrew the glass in the telescope, you will find documents containing all the information. That's all.

Anon BUJEHH STEEL Steel is a variety of iron that contains less carbon than cast or pig iron. and more than wrought iron. Steel is superior to other forms of iron for many purposes, since it is more elastic, stronger, and capable of being tempered to various degrees of hardness. Steel is made by burning carbon out of pig or cast iron, or by burning carbon into wrought iron. Three varieties of steel are recognized, according to the percentage of carbon in the metal, namely, soft or mild steel, medium steel, and hard steel. Good tool steel contains about one or one-half per cent of carbon. Steel is generally named after the process of its manufacture. CRUCIBLE STEEL The finest steel, such as that used in watch springs, is a product of the crucible process. Bars of wrought iron are placed in retorts of clay or graphite with layers of charcoal, and are melted in furnaces: manganese is often added. The molten iron takes up a certain portion of carbon, and when it is allowed to harden in ingots, cast steel is produced. Crucible steel is the highest grade of steel made, and it is used for making tools and in other fine mechanisms. For this reason it is sometimes called tool steel. About the middle of the last century Sir Henry Bessemer, an Englishman, invented the process which bears his name. The effect of Bessemer steel on the production of steel was revolutionary since it reduced the cost of manu- facture to a figure so low as to extend the use of steel from the production of such small articles as knives to that of rails and the framework of bridges and buildings. Bessemer reversed the old process: instead of adding carbon to wrought iron, he burned it out of cast iron. Open-hearth steel takes its name from the fact that the iron is melted in an open hearth furnace. The material used was originally a charge of pig iron treated with iron ore: later, pig iron and steel or fragments of wrought iron were melted together. One of the advantages of the open-hearth process is that it provides for the utilization of steel scraps, old rails, and fragments of wrought iron. TEMPERING When steel is heated and plunged into cold water, it becomes hard enough to cut glass. But the hardest steel is not suitable for tools, and tool steel is put through a process of tempering. This is accomplished by heating hard steel to a certain temperature and allowing it to cool slowly. Razor blades are shaped from steel that has been heated to 430 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas sword blades, which require greater elasticity, are produced at a temperature of about 550 degrees Fahrenheit. EDGAR MACHACEK. One Hundred Thirreen EWZINH COFFEE F YOU have never seen coffee growing, you might be interested in a description of its growth. On the tree, the berry is first green, but, during the period of ripening, it becomes red. All the berries do not become red at the same time. If a person who had never seen a coffee bean in its ripening stage should see one, he would probably say, Oh, look at the cherries! Of course, the coffee berry is a bit more slender, and it is long, not round like a cherry. When the coffee beans are ripe, all the Mexicans, men, women and children, turn out about five o'clock every morning with baskets, sacks and whatever else they can put berries into. They go off to the fields fwhich appear to be forests, where the coffee trees are, and pick the red berries from all the trees. This is by no means a single clay's work. It requires weeks and weeks unless the plantation is very small. After each day's picking, the coffee is taken on horseback or wagons for about two miles to the plant where it is shelled. Here it is poured into a sheller. When it comes out of this machine it is put into large vats. These vats are filled with water and the berries are left in them for two days to rid them of their slimy inner skin. The water is then drained off and more is put in. It is then left standing for about two days more. When this water has been drained off, the coffee beans are taken out of the vats. The coffee berries are spread to dry in concrete vats about three hundred by one hundred feet. After the coffee is perfectly dry, it is put into large sacks and stored in the warehouse until it reaches a good price. ELIZABETH STAHL.

Gray. AIVI ABOUT to tell you of the strangest event which has ever befallen man. First, I will tell you, of necessity, that I had implicit faith in the old government of France, and absolute distrust for the Napoleonic government. Napoleon was more despotic and cruel than many a French king had been. Enough, here is my story: It was the close of day, that sixteenth of June, in the year of our most gracious Lord, one thousand eight hundred and fifteen. l was sitting under a huge shade tree, watching the sun sink through a thick blue mist which rose from the swamp beyond. My mind was occupied with the rumor of a gigantic battle which Napoleon was preparing to fight against the English, in the vicinity of the little village of Mont Saint jean. Was Napoleon, after his absence from France, powerful enough to overthrow the English? My thoughts were here interrupted. Unseen by me, a peasant, coming home from the neighboring fields, had lost a wheel off his cart. Halting his animals, he arose to alight. As quickly as a streak of lightning might flash across the heavens, this scene was lost to my eyes, and I found myself enveloped by a dense, white cloud. Arising in alarm, realizing that I was not alone, I turned sharply, and there, behind me, found the queerest of beings. A man, a Being with beau- tiful white hair and waving beard, stood before me. He was dressed in a loose blue robe of wonderful texture, which flapped and folded lazily in the breeze. This Being presented a shimmering, blurred picture. Then upon my ears fell these words: Napoleon has been denounced in the infinite, and his fall has been decided upon. You are chosen to accom- plish this. After these last words, the white cloud became a dense, clammy black, and I felt myself whirling through the air, feeling even as the owl must feel, clothed in eery darkness, falling from a dizzy height to pounce upon some unsuspecting prey, thence to whirl again, upwards. Suddenly, the weird feeling left me and we apparently settled on the earth. The enveloping cloud became white, then transparent. The Being remained at my side, a blurred image. But-look-where were we? We had entered unseen the humble dwell- ing of a peasant family. A crude table, two stools, a piece of old cloth on a pile of straw-the bed, were all that this home contained. There, on the straw, the crumpled form of a sobbing woman lay, bent over a little black- haired figure, a boy. Standing over the two, a young man, the father of this family, dressed in the Napoleonic uniform. Huge tears were in his eyes, and his voice broke as he uttered vain words of consolation to his wife. The woman One Hundred Sixleen BWENH arose, threw her arms about him, and he, responding, embraced her-for the last time on this earth. Then, tearing himself away, he fled through the door-to answer Napoleorfs call to war. Again we were transported through the air in that cloud of darkness, and again we stopped, this time, not on the earth, but a distance above it. Below us stretched a huge plateau, upon which a mighty battle was being fought. Again the silvery voice of the Being came to me: There is the plateau of Mont Saint Jean. There, down to the left, is Hougomont, where Jerome Bonaparte is stationed. Down to the right is Belle-Alliance. There is Napo- leon. In the center is Waterloo-the battleground. Here the voice stopped and we watched the battle. lt had rained all night, and it was difficult to fight. It was dark-the sun had refused to shine. There, beneath the rolling clouds and us, were mingled in a great battle the English in scarlet, the Scotch with bare knees and skirts. the French-all in a mad mass. For a moment the battle was hidden from our eyes by a mysterious dark- ness. When it was again revealed, the plateau of Mont Saint jean was cleared. The English had retired and Napoleon had ordered his men, two thousand and five hundred in all, to take the plateau and crush the English army. Then, like a huge lizard, the men crossed the plain and began the daring charge up to the crest of the plateau. Gaining momentum at each moment- they were at the top-ahl too late! There stretched before them a pit, a chasm. lt was the sunken road to Ol'lAlNl That horrible moment! Unex- pected, under their very feet, the abyss, into which man and horse poured, unceasing. The first rank pushing the second, the second pushing the third. all were crushed, ground to a mass of flesh. The pit filled, the remaining men rode over the crushed bodies to death in the waiting battle. Horror-stricken, I hid the sight from my eyes. When l again opened them, l discovered that we were even then standing at the very pit in which two thousand soldiers lay dying in a pile two fathoms deep. But here, at my feet-that fellow-oh, yesl 'Tis the same whom we had seen a short time before leaving house and family-never to return. Seel he is alive+he is speaking. As l leaned close, he saw me, and l heard him say, Here, my ring- to my wife. l know her, l replied, placing the ring on my finger. l know you not. The fellow raised his head and looked at me. You are wounded. Nay, l am dead. Those were his last words. l commended his soul to God and prayed. Looking about, l saw we were again above the field with the cloudy mantle slowly closing about us. l caught a quick glimpse of Napoleon's armies, wavering, scattering, fleeing-defeated! O19 Hundrrd Swclntcen BUJEHH A second after that, darkness and dizziness again overpowered me and soon I felt myself seated on the earth. I was again under the tree. There against the setting sun I saw the same peasant alight from his broken-down cart. Had all this been a dream? Nol On my finger was a badly-worn signet ring-the ring which that fellow had worn at Waterloo. Had all this happened in the space of a second? It must have, yet I cannot truly say. Amazed, I hurried home, and flung myself across my bed, to sleep till noon of the following clay. For two days I was confined to my bed, ill. On the nineteenth day of June, our little village was filled with the bodies of soldiers who had been killed in a battle, a crushing defeat for Napoleon, which had been fought the day before-two days after I had seen it! While walking through the streets that day, I came upon a wagon bearing a coffin, a little boy, and a mother. The first look convinced me that this was the little mother whom I had seen in my vision. At my pleading, the wagon was stopped and the lid of the rough coffin raised. Within I saw, for the last time, the smiling face of that soldier who had died in my arms at Waterloo-in a vision! I took the ring from my finger, placed it on his, and alighted. The little mother, recognizing the ring, faintecl over the dead body as the wagon drove slowly on out of sight. As the funeral wagon disappeared, I stood wondering-was I present at the Battle of Waterloo? GEORGE H. KALBFLEISCH.

One Hundred Nineteen One Hundred Twvnty ROOSEVELTIANS AT PLAY ,fig I., gwnw' BWEIHEI ANOTHER ROOSEVELT PUBLICATION While I was in the Bwana Office the other day, looking for news, I saw a paper there, a series of mimeographed sheets containing printed matter, cartoons, and drawings. l picked it up and began to read it. Well, what do you think it was? It was Station V.O.C., the weekly paper of the Roosevelt Vocational School. Charles Wettengel, a Roosevelt graduate, is the editor: Mildred Riley, the Associate Eclitorg Rosella Wagstaff and Helen Breitman, the reporters. The clever cartoonist is Lillian Gibbs. This paper-it's not so little, eitherg there are about live sheets of it-contains items of interest about school, and lots of humor. The cartoons come often, and are really good. Although there are only about fifty pupils enrolled in the school, and this little paper cannot be carried out on a large scale, it certainly does merit our admiration. That this lively class has the true Roosevelt spirit is certainly reflected in its paper. Get the latest issue from Mr. Beers. See for yourself! THE GOLD BUG The students of Roosevelt are no doubt aware that the ever-popular O'ita. has added a new number to its long list of successes here at Roosevelt, a news publication. It is called The Gold Bug and is a revival of the old publication that the O'itaites used to put out at lVIcKinley. It is published semi- monthly ancl consists of short stories, articles, club notes and news, jokes, and dirty digs. Like every other school publication, it has a purpose: namely, to provide news for its members, to give aspirants to literary fame opportunities to exhibit their skill, and to provide wholesome amusements. Anita Lewitz and Zelda Glassman hold the editorial honors this term, while Lucille Krauss smashes her fingers on the typewriter. Isabel Thieman, Frieda Siems and Helen F ruth are the flunkies and distribute the papers. A few other menials act as reporters and go snooping around for news. They are Lillian James, Isabel Thieman, mentioned above, Ruth lVIundt, Maxine Larisey, Evelyn Smith, Grace Newman, Anita Gremer, Katherine Waldeck, and Doris Schoenbeck. We are all of us interested in the success of this publication as it shows a wonderful power of initiative and the enterprising spirit that the girls have. l'lere's to the success of The Gold Bug. One Hundred Twenty-two ----H -v- -- f 4 . 1-., sHoP AT ROOSEVELT MANUAL TRAINING No school system making any pretension to completeness can ignore the fact that manual training is an important part of the curriculum. The recogni- tion of this fact has become so widespread that all of the largest school systems in the country are especially equipped for manual training. At the present time many people understand manual training as a study in the use of various trade tools. This is not the chief purpose. No boy, after having completed a course in manual training, is expected to be a carpenter, or a journeyman in any of the trades. People who have studied geometry may never have occasion to use it, but they have acquired the habit of express- ing themselves clearly and accurately. So it is in manual training-the student learns the use of the various trade tools, but, more than that, he gets the prac- tice of systematic thinking. The work in the manual training department for the first term is wood turning. The student is taught how to operate a power-driven machine, the lathe. He then turns out certain exercises until he becomes proficient enough to make some project to his own liking. The wood turning department is equipped with thirty lathes having a speed range of from seven hundred and One Hundred Twenty- three QEBWEHH fifty to three thousand revolutions per minute, and a complete set of turning tools for each student. Joinery and cabinet making are taken up in the second and third term. ln this work, the student first sees the drawing of the model that is to be made. l-le studies it and considers which way it can best be made. His interest is aroused, and, as a consequence, he tries to plan out a method of work, noting which part of it should be done first in order that the subse- quent steps can be made in the quickest way and with the least difficulty. By thus following out his ideas in the making of the project, he may see where he might have saved himself trouble and loss of time, if he had taken the time to think out a better plan. He thought his plan was best, but he proved to himself that it would have been better to think out several plans and to follow the one he then thought best. By doing the work himself, he impresses this on his mind more firmly than if he saw it done, or had read about it. ln this way he will begin to note the details. The work in the fourth term consists of pattern making and moulding, introducing the work in metal, which is to be continued through the rest of the course. The fifth term introduces forging, and the student is instructed in the art of working metals by the aid of heat. The sixth and seventh terms are spent in the machine shop. The students are first given a drilling and tapping exercise. From this exercise they learn how to operate the shapers, millers, and the drill. Their next project is the lathe mandrel, which familiarizes them with the lathes and prepares them for the harder problem, which is a lead hammer. They are instructed how to cut on a taper and to knurl. The machinist's hammer is the project for the seventh term. A great degree of accuracy is required in this work. It is necessary to use a micrometer in measuring to keep the work within one-thousandth of an inch. The making of the machinist's hammer involves many phases of lathe work, such as internal boring and threading and chuck work. This shop is about the most important one in the school because it puts the finishing touches to the work in manual training. ln the machine shop the metals are wrought cold and the process is necessarily slow, and the patient and persistent effort by the student is more certain to be rewarded by char- acter development' and mental breadth. The senses are quickenecl by the necessity of close observation and the reason schooled by its constant use of method, coupled with the planning of the logical sequence of the processes. Judgment is slowly but surely acquired and the will strengthened by the mastery of each new difficulty. Roosevelt has the finest machine shop in the United Statesg it consists of the following equipment: Eighteen Sidney I4-inch rapid change gear lathes, and two Sidney 20-inch rapid change gear lathes, all of the latest type, two Osterlein milling machines: four Cincinnati I6-inch shapers: one Ohio planerg One Hundred Twenty-four BWEINH two sensitive drillsg one 24-inch drill press, one Gallmeyer and Livingston tool grinder, one Nlilholland turret latheg two Racine power saws, three three-speed lathes: three Clark grinding wheels, and one gas tempering furnace equipped with Brown pyrometer. All of the machines are electric driven. ln the eighth term the seniors are instructed in auto mechanics. The instructor gives a short lecture every day before work is started. His lectures cover the following points: the larger units of the automobile: the fundamental principles of the gasoline engineg the two types of gasoline enginesg timing of the engine: ignition systemsg carburetiong parts of the battery, etc. The classes are divided into groups of about ten, and each group is given an automobile to tear down, nothing remaining but the bare chassis. Each part is cleaned and repaired if necessary, and the car is reassembled. The students are taught how to fit piston rings, grind valves, scrape bearings, straighten the crank shaft, and assemble the engine. Under the instructor's teaching and direction, the student gleans a practical knowledge of auto mechanics. The enrollment in the shops is steadily increasing and we are impressed with the growing importance of this course to our school. The fact that changes have been made from other courses shows that the pupils and parents appreciate the importance of this course. We are pleased to note that pupils have changed to the manual course, while but few have dropped it. This shows that the American people of today appreciate the fact that a good general, practical education is one of the very best investments that can be made. A young man going forth to do the world's work is certainly well equipped for the battle if he can unite his head, heart, and hands in the work before him.

NEW DRUG STORE OPENS The South Side Pharmacy opened yes- terday under the management of Miss Ruth jane Bather and Miss Bertha Heier, two well known St. Louis ladies, who are leaders in the Higher Education of Craw- fish fteaching them to move forward in- stead of backwarcll. Miss Bather and Miss Heier received their general education at Roosevelt High School, and their pharmaceutical training at the Washington University Medical One Hundred Twenty-eight School. Both are known for their medical knowledge and the ability which they well displayed during their high school days, and much is expected of them in the future as druggists in this community. They have opened up another vocation for women which will probably be developed. Much money has been invested in their com- pany and they are planning to make quite a fortune. The community in which they are located is luckily well populated with former Roosevelt pupils who have mar- ried and established homes, and who are interested in the outcome of this very promising establishment. They have promised their patronage and are very enthusiastic over their future success. Dis- playing their former Roosevelt spirit, they are all anxiously watching this new drug company grow. X BWHHEQQZQ LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE 9 O .15 M HK yowvsq LOOKING INTO THE FUTURE I sat in the secluded little tent of the old gypsy fortune-teller. Two red lamps poured a queer shadowed light down upon the small table separating the gypsy from me. She was a stubby little old woman with skin like that of ancient parchment. Her stocky figure was shrouded in gaudy garments and a red bandana held all but a few wisps of her graying hair. Slowly, her claw-like hands moved over a round glass ball on the table between us. The glass ball turned a vivid hueg streaks of light shot through it. Then the object became a soft, shadowed grey like a dull cloud. The next instant this mist rolled apart and the old woman motioned me to look at its surface. Imagine! I saw none other than Doro- thy Devero standing stiff and straight be- fore a room full of pupils. Wide-mouthed kindergartenersl Dorothy Devero a school teacher twenty years from now! Nothing else but! You may well believe that I was anxious for the next revelation. Thrills! More thrills! This time I saw in the crystal object a tall, broad-shouI- dered man. Yes, a man! And as I gazed longer, I perceived that it was Rene Lusser attempting to argue the grocer into lower- ing the price of eggs by three cents. Poor Rene was wildly waving three fingers. It looked as though he were having a hard time. Again the ball clouded and again it cleared, to reveal Catheryn Mahne dili- gently scrubbing at all manner of kitchen pans! Sure enough! Our old Catheryn was firmly established in the housewife's realm. That did surprise me! With the next glance I saw Ted Sau- selle. What do you think he was doing? Why, he was standing in a downtown showcase allowing a salesman to arrange hair-ribbons of the latest fashion through his Haming mass of tresses. Horrors! What will happen next? Nothing less than Harry Behrman perched on a chair rolling his blue, blue eyes, advertising the embellishment of masculine eyes by the use of IV!ix-'em- up on the lashes! This is getting too impossible! The gypsy has to have her pennies. Yes, here they are. No! They're real. Weigh them? Yes, l'm willing. Well, I must be leaving. Dear me, who would have thunk it? I did get two big eye-fulls of the future.

Over thirty high schools and ten colleges were represented and about thirty athletes ran unattached. Two records were broken, both by for- mer Roosevelt High School stars. Burt Kauffman raised the pole vault mark to I5 feet 4M inches, a new W. A. A. U. record, and also a new worIcl's record. Doe Jacobs lowered the I00-yard dash time to 9:4 seconds.

One Hundred Thirty MEN'S SELECT BEAUTY PARLORS Marcelling 1 Hair Cutting - Manicuring Our Specialties Proprietors - Marjorie McBurney, Elvira Rau, Virginia Horn A new fad has just been introduced into our city in the form of a beauty parlor for men. The proprietors, the Misses Mc- Burney, Rau, and Horn, former Roosevelt High School pupils, have created quite a sensation among the handsome men who have clamored at their doors from early morning until late at night. Business has increased steadily since the day of their formal opening, when a manicure was given gratis to everyone interested. All of their former pals at Roosevelt have dis- played their loyalty and have come con- stantly to their beautiful suite in the new Dickmann Building. Every day they see some other familiar face present itself in the form of a previous high school sheik. When I visited their popular establishment for an interview, they smilingly stated that business is keen and so much fun because so many old-time friends are attracted by our novel advertisements and come to see our progress. As I left I saw, to my surprise, a well-known teacher of Roosevelt High School, but I think it would be imprudent and undiplomatic to mention his name here.

The bandit emptied the safe, the show- cases, and the windows, and made his get- away in a high-powered automobile. Mr. Behrman estimated his loss at SI 50,000, but stated that he was heavily insured. The following is a description of the bandit, according to Mr. Behrman: Tall, dark, with a cap pulled down over his hair and eyes, slight limp. If you run across anyone of this description, turn him over to the authorities. There is a reward.

He has created quite a sensation among the residents of St. Louis because of his won- derful mind. He can answer any question, settle any dispute, tell fortunes, or solve the most difficult problem. Crowds throng his office daily! Hun- dreds are turned away without an inter- view. He is coining money! The crowds are willing to pay any price because they real- ize that he will aid them. Those that have seen him have turned away satisfied, and his fame has spread rapidly over the city. Women come to him with their matri- monial troubles, men with their business deals. Many have been re-established through the magic power of Mr. Allen. He attributes all his success and popu- larity to the fact that he was educated' at the Theodore Roosevelt High School. He says that the knowledge acquired there has been the foundation of his great fame and the basis of his enormous fortune.

The new pro- cess of seeing the performers over the radio had just reached another point of perfection and I was anxious to pick up some distant stations and see some of their performers. I played around with the dial and picked up a lot of familiar faces until I finally got Cuba. Whose dear visage should I see but Rene Lusser? I was so surprised that I upset the beautiful Hepple- white chair that I was sitting in, breaking the legs off the back. However, my cha- grin did not last long, as I soon forgot everything while looking at the dear old face that had so often charmed me in days of yore: and consider my great surprise when I heard him announce in Spanish! fHe afterward told me in a letter that his former training in Spanish at Roosevelt High School was largely responsible for his landing the job of radio announcer of Cubaj After announcing in Spanish, he oblig- ingly spoke in English, telling us that Ruth Bather, Amy Chase, Virginia Horn and Zelda Glassman would perform a Nautch One Hundred Thirty-two dance fyou know the kind, and would be accompanied by an orchestra consisting of Vernie Myers, Rene Lusser, joe Kala- fatich, Charles Thorne and, shall I say it? last but not least, Wiley Bischoff. Moral: Hepplewhite furniture and Spanish speaking radio announcers do not go together. DISTINGUISHED VISITOR A distinguished visitor arrived at Union Station early this morning. We have been looking forward to his visit for many weeks, and now that he is here we wish to express our appreciation of his coming. It is needless to say that the visitor is Mr. Hartig, world-renowned opera singer. I am sure that we shall all take advan- tage of the opportunity of hearing Mr. Hartig at the Schumacker and Nax Thea- tre or over the radio on station R.H.S., owned and operated by the Tebben Radio and Electric Co. As Mr. Hartig is a St. Louisan, many have already purchased tickets for his performances. Tickets are on sale at the Kalbfleisch Music Co. 268th CONGRESS CONVENES The 268th Congress met yesterday at Washington. It was a gathering of prom- inent politicians from all over the country. Senators Baron and Bassler from Mis- souri were at their desks early in the morn- ing, and ready to begin business. How- ever, newspaper reporters took up all their time. Mr. Tomasek and Miss Bather are among the probable candidates for the office of Speaker. Mr. Tomasek, however, is favored by President Karner. With such a capable representation, Missouri can feel that she has done her part toward making a better government and a stronger nation.

Q i W training in the Carol Club at Roosevelt. MAADAME RUTH STEQNMEYER Much is expected of her. im CALENDAR Feb. 2. The second term started with much celebration. Meek little New Jays ventured down the halls. Seniors began putting on airs. Feb. 3. l-lowls both of joy and disgust-the cause of this general dis- turbance was the fateful program card. Feb. 4. Theatre party at the Ambassador. A crowd of Roosevelt's blushing maids, it is rumored, stayed for two shows-what could the picture have been? Feb. 5. Club meeting at lVlarge's home. Ask her how she felt after drinking the concoction made by Q? J . Yes, it was a mixture of pickles, olives, minced ham, vinegar, cocoa, 'n' everything. Feb. 6. Anna Newman was horribly fill surprised when the honorable Showmans KH. and A., in the company of Ruth Jane broke in on her. We hope she enjoyed the visit. Feb. 7. Either the steps were slippery or else Bertha was trying to master a new dance step, because she certainly took some flop down the stairs. Babies aren't the only ones that fall, you know. Feb. 8. The Bwana Class began in earnest. They began to manufacture dirty digs about their schoolmates. Feb. 9. Our noble seniors held nominations. There's no need to string out the nominees' names, as every well known Senior graced the page. We're wondering who will be who. Feb. l0. The Student Council nominated its leaders. It seems the Seniors pulled the lucky straws there. One Hundred Thirty -three BWENH Feb. I I. Ask Katharine 3 at at about the effects of a ten-cent store hot dog. She must like them-she had Feb. I2. lda Danner entertained fourteen girls at her home at a bridge luncheon. Of course, Myrtle E. and Mil W. became distinguished for the best playing, but Virginia, Margine, Libby, and others won the prizes for eating the most. But-they would. jane Kitchell entertained her friends with a party and dance at her home. The usual bunch was there, including ex-graduates and others. According to reports, the party was a huge success, but somebody ought to explain to Ed Hubeli just how Lucky Tiger Hair Tonic should be used. Feb. I3. A gathering of some of Roosevelt's popular ex-graduates was held at the home of Rowena Quentin. The good old days were once more rehearsed, affording everyone much enjoyment. Feb. I4. Valentines Day. Don't you think we should have had a holi- day because of the good old Saint? However, we got candy and flowers. Uh! Huh! Some of us even received comic valentines. Feb. I5. Absences among the girls were terrible. This one was ill and that one indisposed. Evidently the boy friends' candy didn't agree with them. Feb. I6. Campaign speeches for leaders of our school. oodles of jokes were cracked by the poor nuts adorning the stage. This seemed to be an important day because the Seniors held elections. Here are the results: President Thomas Maher Vice-President Mary Jo Arpe Secretary Jessie Main Treasurer Herman Pelke Sergeant-at-Arms Joe Kalafatich Feb. l7. Election returns! The stronger sex once more displays its power! Harry's our Mayor!-but the girls were not wholly defeated, as Catheryn Mahne and Beatrice Audrain were elected as associate editors. The Student Council also had the final elections for this term. The offi- cers are: President Harry Behrman Vice-President Rene Lusser Secretary Hattie Martin Sergeant-at-Arms Ted Sauselle Feb. I8. The College Club had an open meeting. Haven't we some orators, though? Ask Adele of whom she was thinking when she was speak- ing, and why did Virginia laugh when she was talking about Abe Lincoln? Ruth made a typical comic valentine and Janet looked so sweet. Feb. I9. After the basketball game, Lu Sorensen had a social gathering for her co-workers and side-kicks. Everyone had a keen time, and Lillie and Bob surely enjoyed their promised cherry pie. One Hundred Thirty-four EWEHH Feb. 20. As the day was so inviting, Marge, jane, Elvera and Virginia decided to take a stroll f?I through the park. l wonder- Did they get there? How and when? But that would be tellin'- So you'd better ask them. Feb. 2!. Beatrice Audrain gave a party for Helen Kitchell. Some of the notables were Roland Miller, Anna Newman, Floyd Bennett, Marian Miller, Ruth Jane Bather, Phil Becker, Herman Braeckel, Catheryn Mahne and Charles Thorne. Kitty certainly displayed her fortune-telling ability. Ruth, Lucille and Dot stayed at Amy's house all night. They got quite a kick out of the Grecian dance-but enjoyed the midnight lunch more. Feb. 22. Washington's Birthday! Hooray1a holiday! The Y. W. C. A. had a swimming meet. Ruth Jane distinguished herself in diving and Marian Hall won the free style race. Feb. 23. Principals from far and wide came to view Roosevelt. They said they had the treat of their lives and even enjoyed the lunch. The New Seniors elected their officers for the term. They are: President George Kalbfleisch Vice-President Marian Jude!! Secretary Aline Weir Treasurer jack Floyd Sergeant-at-Arms Ben Freeman Feb. 25. Principals and more principals. They evidently liked our school because they stayed a day longer. Oh, yes! We had music ringing in our ears all day. The chorus of 500 was practicing. It certainly sounded like it. A play was given at the Y. W. C. A. Several of our girls had leading parts, namely, Anna Newman, Bertha Heier, Dot and Louise Winchester, and Ruth jane Bather. Feb. 26. Championship basketball game! Roosevelt vs. Soldan. Hoo- ray! We won! Three cheers for the City Champs! Feb. 27. One big day for certain people. A surprise party given for Virginia Betteken in honor of her birthday. Bunco was played in the afternoon by the girls and in the evening the boys came. Some of the many who attended were Elsie Jansky, Julia Straub, Marian Paschek, Mildred Bonnot, Ruth Stein- meyer, Amie Miltenberger, Jane Kitchell, Lu Sorensen, Elmo Montague, Ver- non Bartlett, Dusty Desmond, Ed. Groepper and Pete Pelke. After the reports of the party those who were invited but could not come certainly regretted it. Feb. 28. We celebrated our victory over Soldan by having an Maud. All of our heroes were on the stage and we cheered for 'em. Our new yell- kings led us and we almost cracked the roof. One Hundred Th1'fItl'f!L'9 BVJZIHH Rev. Henry McKenzie of Compton Hill Congregational Church addressed us on the popular subject of Flaming Youth. However, he was for our side and naturally got loads of applause. We mustn't forget this! The Seniors had try-outs for the play and for class day. More than one person is carrying his heart in his mouth. Mar. !. According to tradition, March certainly came in like a lion. lt snowed and blowed 'n' everything. l wonder if inside it was as bad as outside. If you saw some of the gloomy or perhaps studious looks on some of the faces you probably solved the problem. Oh, my! How nice! The United Railway went back to seven cents. Mar. 2. Were you on Hartford Street after school? If not, you missed the best race yet. Ruth Knott certainly ought to join the track team. I wonder why Bill Carroll was chasing her with a snowball. The Seniors decided to rob Mr. Wluting of his last grain of sense with the burden of their beautiful faces. Mar. 3. Roosevelt had a swimming meet with Cleveland. They would have wiped us out if Vernie Myers hadn't won the diving contest and Norman Moore the back stroke and !00-yarc! race. The Sixes organized and had nominations. The nominees were-oh! Mar. 4. Did you see Jane Summersby actually kiss that good-looking young man in the corridor this morning? Don't get excited-it was only her uncle. The O'ita officers gave, for the benefit of the new members, a play entitled The Fatal Pill. The vivacious heroine, Grace Newman, wished to marry the handsome hero, Ruth Mundt, but her forsaken mother, Maxine Larisey, prohibited her despite the efforts of her father, lsabel Thieman. Much to our delight, the heroine didn't take the fatal pill. Mar. 5. Last game of the season. Even though Cleveland did beat us, we won the championship, so what do we care? After the game the janitor collected all of the paper that was on the floor and said he had enough to start a factory. I wonder just who was responsible for this. Martha lttner, one of our former pupils, came home over the week-end to visit her parents and friends. She is attending Stephens College in Colum- bia, Missouri. Mar. 6. A balmy spring day always brings out the Grand Avenue prom- enaders. Were you up there? Did you see the two Bills, lkey and 35 '15 A' ? Mar. 7. Blue Monday! But it wasn't so worse for some people who skipped the sixth period class because of the Music Appreciation Aud. We certainly showed our appreciation. The first set of Seniors went to the studio to have their pictures taken. Poor Sid! '!'!e'll lose a lot of money buying so many new cameras. Mar. 8. More people killed-more Senior pictures taken. Oh, my! Senior play cast posted. Speaking of thrills! Here are the lucky ones: One Hundred Thirty-six WINNING SNAP SHOTS IN CONTEST One Hundred Thirty-seven COME OUT OF THE KITCHEN Olivia Cecelia Bishop Elizabeth !va ' Russell Mrs. Fa!!-tener Beatrice Audrain Cora Bertha Heier Amanda Helen Kitchell Crane Charles Nax Lefferts Charles Schumacher Tucker Edgar Lawler Pau! Emi! Bassler Charles jack Horton Weeks Louis Thym With the handsome Charles Nax and charming Cecelia Bishop heading the bill and all of the other promising actors, the play surely ought to be a success. Mar. 9. The Sixes, a dandy peppy class, had their elections. The final decisions are: President Lester Stephens Vice-President Armand Hoffstetter Secretary Charlene Ogle Treasurer Evelyn Bremsteller Sergeant-at-Arms Milton Bressler Mar. IO. What is the attraction in Room 9 every Thursday after school? What fascinates the boys so? !s it the splendid music offered or the occupants of the room, perhaps? Mar. !!. Open House Night! Papa's and mama's night! Everybody and his grandfather was there! Such mobs! You felt like a sardine packed in a little can with hundreds of other fellow-sufferers. It seems the pupils don't get enough during the day so they return again in the evening. Who said we don't love our school and its inhabitants? 1 Senior Program in College Club! They presented a most comical tragedy in the form of a pantomime, entitled Wild Nell. This interesting character was portrayed by Dot Devero and her longed-for hero was, of course, Kitty Mahne. Verna Weiss, a charming French girl, later captivated the hero. The cast was assisted by ferocious Indians who made the pantomime very exciting. Kitty Mahne was in her glory in boy's togs. Mar. !2. District Final Basketball Game. Roosevelt split even as they won one game and lost the other. However, the boys had a good time as the Melbourne Hotel was honored by their presence for the day. They rented a suite and rested up between the games. ln genera! they had a keen time in high sassietyf' Bee Audrain and Anna Newman spent a night of fun at Ruth Jane's house. l wonder did they get any sleep? Maybe they did, but ! doubt it. One Hundred Thirty-eighl l Mar. l4. We had a continuation of our former Music Appreciation And. The pupils were favored with selections on the piano by Mr. Maginn and lVlr. Mueller-Rhode, a member of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra. The program was really very uplifting. What a catastrophe! Charles Nax, the intended hero of the Senior play, has scarlet fever! What shall we do? Who will take his place? Poor Charlie! Mar. !5. Have you seen the good-looking ring Leah Ruth is wearing? l wonder whose it is! l think the initials engraved on it are W. C. False alarm! Our hero escaped the epidemic. He came back today all there, even to his curly locks. Miss Duffet heaves a sigh of relief. Mar. l6. Bwana took kodak snapshots of famous Rooseveltians at play. Were you out there? If not, you surely missed it. They looked like five-year- olds jumping rope and spinning tops. But all work and no play makes jack a dull boy. Mar. ! 7. St. Patrick's Day! Most people are green enough without deco- ration. Basketball Rally! Have we got pep? l'll say we have and plenty of it. too. Today the boys leave for Columbia to play in the District Finals. We are with them mentally, although physically we remain at home. Nlar. !8. We won our first game in Columbia, defeating Warrington: but-oh, horrors! Jackson beat us! This eliminates us, but what do we care -they at least tried. The general reports of the trip are very favorable. The big tan car drove up to Columbia and gave the country hicks a treat. l-lot dog! Mar. l9. Dorothy Ann Rebstock entertained many Rooseveltians and others at her home. Bridge was the game, and green the color, in honor of St. Patrick. Amy and Ruth won prizes, of course, but-they would. Who was the handsome fellow in company with Julia at Garavellfs? Jealous looks were coming from all directions. Mar. 20. Harry, Joe, Tom and Clark played basketball. They were terribly good-hearted, so they gave the game to the Concordia Turners. Better luck next time. One Hundred Thirty-nine EUJEHE Mar. 2l. Our weekly Maud. How interesting! The boys' debating teams gave preliminary speeches encouraging us to come out and help them win. We were also honored by an address on Faithfulness by Bishop Mc- Murray. Strange to say the pupils actually enjoyed it. Did he compliment them so much? I wonder. Mar. 22. Did you know that as years roll by our memories weaken? How did it happen that Jane simply couldn't remember what came next when she was reciting? Was she thinking ofiinstead of her piece? Mar. 23. The Senior Meeting - the very important question of Caps and Gowns for graduation was once more discussed. It was voted down. A recount was desired but Miss Blodgett would not permit it. Mar. 24. Virgil had new shoes on-maybe, huh? At any rate, he couldn't stand up when he reached the top step and his mamma will have to send his suit to the cleaners. Mar. 25. Didn't the girls look pretty all dolled up in their Easter clothes? Why? Ohl don't you know? Because of the College Club dance, of course-and it was some dance, too. Everybody had the best time and the majority were well pleased with their program, but why did they insist on dancing in the center of the room? Boys' interscholastic Debates! We had dandy teams, but, to our surprise, the judges didn't seem to think so! Mar. 26. Quite a few of our famous Rooseveltians, including Marion judell, Ruth Jacoby, Adele Bowler, Frieda Crusius, and the two Virginia's, were entertained by Virginia Tiemeyer at her home. A delicious lunch was served, followed by bridge. Of course, the star players were Lill H., Elvera R., and Virginia H., but the party was really a splendid success without the darling prizes. Mar. 27. There must have been something else interesting besides the flowers that would attract so many Rooseveltians to Shaw's Garden. I wonder what or who it was. Last day of ice skating at the Winter Garden! Too bad-Jane S. and a few others have had so many thrilling times out there. Never mind, jane, there's another year coming. Mar. 28. Rabbi Thurman gave us a most inspiring talk-it certainly appealed to everyone. He knew his onions all right when he addressed the girls as the better half and we have to give him credit for calling our boys chivalrous, polite, and handsome young fellows-even though they aren't. Mar. 29. lt's too bad our school doesn't put carpets on the stairs so that the people who fall down wouldn't hurt themselves. All on account of those horrid marble steps, poor Thelma fell and was knocked out for several minutes. Roosevelt sponsored a Syrnphony Concert and it certainly went over big -but did you hear what happened afterwards? The janitor forgot himself One Hundred Forty QSEBWZNH and locked Elvera and Virginia in the office. Everybody laughed and laughed and laughed, but it wouldn't have been so funny if they had had to sleep on Miss B!odgett's bench all night. Mar. 30. First practice baseball game of season. Roosevelt played Mc- Bride and we won-naturally. Yea! for our team! We're startin' in good. A great commotion occurred in the Bwana Class. Our Mayor brought his baby picture. Oh, boy! you should have seen it! Mar. 31. Rain, rain, and more rain! The streets were so full that we all swam to school and felt like drowned rats when we got there. Our baseball team chose their captain-Rollie Haverstock is the lucky person. With him as leader, are we not assured of success? April !. April Fools' Day! All the foolish looking people were trying to crack jokes on other foolish looking people. Senior Theatre Party at the American! Of course, it had to rain. The class was conspicuous by its absence, but everyone that was there had a keen time. Poor Herman! it seems he couldn't get rid of his candy! Nobody trusted him. April 2. A large group of fellow-schoolmates had a particularly splendid time at Marie Horman's. After a delicious luncheon, bridge was played, fol- lowed by the distribution of prizes. Some of those who participated in the struggle for superiority were: Gertrude M., Janet B., Jane K., Dot T., Gen. C., Mil. W., the two Crusius's, and others. April 3. Cliff Cave was the goal for some of our hikers and everybody got there safe. But when they were exploring the cave Helen fell in the water and got herself all wet. Jo fished her out, though, and then, to our surprise. Ed splashed Lu all wet and Virginia smeared Bob with mustard-just to see how funny they looked. But such accidents will happen when such a happy crowd gets together. April 4. Our Home Talent program! We certainly have some talented people in our school. Eh, what? The pick of the city. April 5. Our team played another practice game. We won again, but we knew that would happen. The poor victims were the members of Christian Brothers' College. April 6. Girls' New Jay Party! Yes, it was a new jay party only 's funny thing, there were some people there who supposedly have been going to High for quite a while. Did they have a good time? Well-just ask them and see-- yep, ice cream sandwiches were plentiful and all free, too. April 7. The Student Council was in a great turmoil over a flat tire! Pete Pelke was the victim and our Mayor nearly passed out. He came back on the scene, however, much to our relief. April 8. Baseball Rally! Mr. Hahnel instilled some real school spirit in us by speaking on our Alma Mater. We showed him what we could do by singing our Alma Mater song. You can't beat Roosevelt! One Hundred Forty-one QE BUJENH The 7's and 8's girls' basketball teams indulged in a bitter struggle for supremacy. The Seniors won this time but the fight was a bitter one and the 7's also deserved credit for their efforts. April 9. Some of our schoolmates hailed Phil Becker's invitation to a party with great delight and they all turned out for a swell time. Amy and Ruth had better take lessons in doing the Chicago before they display their would-be talents. Phil's usual pals were there to enjoy his hospitality. Every- one had a keen time when they were telling fortunes and when the lights were low-but especially Floyd ancli? April l0. Marian and Frances had a keen time driving up and down Flora Boulevard, but the driver wasn't so keen. April l l. Our silver-tongued speakers tried out for the Oratorical Con- test in the Maud. For Rene we prophesy a brilliant future and the others will also have honors heaped upon them. Listening to their thrilling speeches made us feel as if we were in the Senate House hearing the Senators and Repre- sentatives. April IZ. Our Dramatic Club, the Mask and Buskin, had try-outs for their semi-annual play to be given in the Maud. The sad part about it is that so many tried out and yet so few will get in. We know, however, that the best ones will be chosen eventually. April l2. Today was the New Jay boys' party and they were also given a rare treat. lt's peculiar how the announcement of a New jay party attracts our noble Seniors. They must think they're going to miss something or maybe the party couldn't be a success without them. You never can tell what idea might come into their heads. Everybody had a keen time, but 's too bacl they didn't have enough ice cream sandwiches for everybody. 'Twas said that the musical entertainment was first-class. April I4.

Easter Sunday and, of course, the annual promenade on Grand. Roosevelt High was well represented. Our noted hero of the Roman- tic Age was strolling down the street. One Hundred Forty-two BWENH April IS. What a gala day for all Rooseveltiansl Our basketball team was presented with the trophy cup. It was certainly good looking and anybody who witnessed that Maud and did not feel a thrill of pride and a quicker surging of the blood doesn't possess genuine school spirit. It should be men- tioned here that the Michigan University representatives surely made a good impression on us. Their entertainment was splendid. First Baseball Game. Roosevelt vs. Beaumont. We were defeated, much to our dismay, but we still have a chance. April l9. The steps are constantly getting into trouble and tripping someone. Now Elvera is the victim. They came up and met her head this morning. Speaking of pinsl Have you seen the ones that some of our prominent members of the Round Table are wearing? They boast that they are the best looking club pins our school has. April 20. Great excitement among the Seniors and New Seniors. Why? Because the honorable Torch members were chosen. Congratulations and regrets were heard all day. Eight new seniors andqtwenty-two seniors were fortunate enough to gain admission. Naomi Berger was hostess to several boys and girls of our school. Bill and Art succeeded in showing the crowd a good time. Of course Pete was there. The boys decided after someipractice in the art of make-up to intro- duce the use of cosmetics for boys. l wonder if their idea will work -out successfully. K 5 ' ' ' April 2 I . Great excitement in the Girls' Gym.-The 8's won thecirls' Basketball Championship. Vi 1 A We wonder why the girls were congratulating Flop Wright, the captain of the Sixes, and why the rest of her team was hopping around like spring lambs, while the Fives looked so downcast. I I ' i A A For information on what 5.5. means ask Arlene Poole. H will :ig April 22. New Senior Hopi The swellest event of. the social season 'cause each girl received two roses, one for herself and one for her Hrst partner. The dance was proclaimed a unanimous success and the New Seniors certainly established an enviable reputation. 4 ' The Oratorical Contest Finals were held at Washington University. Our splendid orators, Rene Lusser and Zelda Classman, did well, placing second and third, respectively. We have every reason to bevery proud of them. April 23. janet Barthels was hostess to a large group of well known Rooseveltians. Everyone was pleasantly entertained throughout the evening. The refreshments, in particular, deservelhonorable mention. The party dis- banded, in a happy mood, at - OD. g H p April 24. Last snow of the season! We certainly hate to see' it leave for such a long time. One Hundred Forry-three QQ EWEINH April 25. A most inspiring musical program was presented in the audi- torium by Mr. Miller, Mr. Maginn, and Miss Hilb, assisted by lVlr. Hahnel, !Vlr. Peter Sciarra, and Mr. Michael Sciarra. lt can well be called one of the best programs of the term. April 26. What pests these Seniors can bel One is pleasantly molested at every turn in the hall by the exclamation, Want any Senior Play tickets? April 27. The Senior Surprise Party was indeed a surprise. The stunts were very highly appreciated: Vernon Bartlett won a huge box of candy for having planned the best one. There was splendid music that made one fairly ache to dance but apparently it didn't appeal to the boys in that way. The eats were good-marvelous-considering that there was no assessment! April 28. The Sixes showed their true spirit by having a whooping good time at the luncheon. The Novelty Orchestra and the Roosevelt Uke Club furnished splendid entertainment.

It was a Friday morning and thoughts of the pleasant week-end that was to follow filled me with enthusiasm. Indeed, I was so full of pep that I felt reckless. I wanted to do something that mortal had never done before, some- thing seemingly impossible. Suddenly an idea flashed across my mindl I was nearing that beautiful edifice, wonderful institution of learning, etc., and I could see various of the student body Iolling around the front entrance. An awful din of voices screaming and yelling came from the hall. Anybody who did not know anything about our beautiful edifice would have thought that the faculty had the pupils on the racks, and were subjecting them to the most cruel of tortures, or that there was a regular free for all taking place, with hair-pulling N 'n' everything instead of the peaceful morning chats that our dear Rooseveltians delight in. lVIy feeling of recklessness did not diminish. I had that idea that flashed across my mind a few sentences back, and I was going to execute it. I was going to try to go through the main hall. I was going to attempt the impossible. I no sooner resolved on this dangerous act than I proceeded to put it into execution. I ran up the front steps amid the salutations of my friends, who could not imagine what I was going to do. The noise of the voices had now grown considerably in volume but I was not to be deterred. I was going thru' the main hall! I flung open one of the doors and, taking a running jump, landed on the shoulders of the person nearest the door. Of course, he set up an awful howl and created quite a commotion, but I was determined to get through that hall! I gave up all idea of keeping my books and flung them to the winds, while I flung myself on another broad shoulder. I kept jumping from shoulder to shoulder and was going at quite a good clip when the disaster occurred. I fell and was soon on the floor. I knew that I would have to iight for my life and struggled to gain my feet, but to no avail. I shouted Iustily, but no one heard me. Then the first bell rang and I knew that my end was come. Big feet, little feet, and every other kind of feet were soon trampling over meg my nose was broken and my ears partly torn off, one arm was cracked and my stomach felt as if it had been punctured. I was just ready to give up the ghost when I received unexpected aid. A pretty, china-dolly- looking girl was seen at the end of the hall and the gallant OJ chevaliers opened their ranks to let her pass. I had an opportunity to crawl through the forest of legs and gain my feet. I saw a strong looking table near the door and ran and threw myself under it for protection when the stampede began again. I was discovered under the table in an unconscious condition by Miss Blodgett in one of her numerous jaunts around the building. A physician was summoned and I was removed to a hospital where I am now recovering rap- idly. The doctor said that I was in a very serious condition, and grave fears One Hundred Forly-eight EWEIHH for my life were entertained, but I shall be able to go back to that wonderful institution of learning in a week. ln the meantime l am having an especially designed suit of armor made and I intend to try to get through the main hall again. I am sure that with the aid of this really wonderful suit of armor, which is fitted for this especial purpose, I shall be able to get through the next time. l thought you might be interested, dear editor, and l hope you don't feel hurt. l. N. Traffic. Dear Editor: Here is a true story: You, prisoner on the stand, have been found guilty of the worst offense-that of being tardy. The worthy jurymen have studied your case and find that your excuse is weak. We have, therefore, come to the decision that you must be punished. You will appear at this court one week from today and recite to your fellow members an original poem, eight lines in length, on tardiness. Should you fail to serve your punishment at this meeting, a visit to lVlr. l-lart's office will be your lot. The prisoner turned white and green in turn. The next prisoner will please come forward. The judge's words rang through the courtroom. As the second prisoner stepped into the witness box. the first one staggered to his seat. One week later we look upon the same scene. The first prisoner, Mr. A. Tardiness, will serve his punishment. A humiliated and crushed figure faced the audience. A titter passed around the room and the prisoner swore never to repeat his tardiness. Well, he began, l'm afraid l'm not a very good poet. Silence! rapped the judge. We'll have the punishment, and no excuses. Since l was late last week, No more errands will l seek, But at promptly 8:30 o'clock. At this High School door I'll knock. l am sorry l was late, But you'll never know the date That l'll be late again, For from tardiness l'll refrain. Giggles permeated the whole room. l accept the prisoner's apology and l banish him from my sight with the hope that l may never see his face again in the witness box. This, dear editor, is a true example of the scenes that take place at a certain advisory meeting every Friday. This method has proved effective in reducing the number of tardy cases and also in providing entertainment for the group. l think it's an excellent idea, don't you? Very truly yours, Rose Joseph. One Hundred Forty-nine BWENH BULLETIN BOARD Dear Sir: I should like to make an appeal for the elimination of the bulletin board in front of the office. Does the use of this board warrant the congestion that occurs there every morning before school? Of course, the board imparts to pupils the important events of the day and the changes of routine, but all this is announced in the notice that is sent around during the sixth period. l realize that there are pupils who leave school before the sixth period and who would, therefore, be ignorant of the news. But the number of these pupils is so small that I am sure they would not disturb the office force by applying, just before leaving, for the contents of the bulletin. E There are many pupils whose program does not lead them past the bulletin, and who consequently never see it. If these pupils can get along without it, the other pupils can get along without it also. Most of the pupils who stop before the bulletin do it out of idle curiosity or merely because they happen to be passing by. Often the news does not pertain to the majority of pupils, and the announcements are sometimes old, but the pupils do not discover these facts until they have read over the bulletin. When people are in a hurry they find it hard to pass the office quickly, especially before school in the morning, when a crowd has congregated there to read the bulletin. Since this board is unnecessary and only causes congestion, let us abolish lt' Sincerely' lVlarian lVlardorf. GIRLS' INTER-SCHOLASTIC ATHLETICS Editor of Bwana: Much has been said about giving women the same rights as men. Well. we admit, that women have progressed rather far in this respect-we are up to the trouser and boyish haircut stage now-but we are eager to go still farther. We want interscholastic athletics. We swim, run, high jump, and broad jump. We play basketball, indoor baseball, volley ball, and have now even organized a girls' track team. But. alas, we are not given a chance to compete with girls of other high schools. lnterscholastic debating has been conducted for a long time, why cannot interscholastic athletics be introduced? Girls in all the high schools are just waiting for an opportunity to show what they can do, by bringing honors to their Alma Mater in the athletic field. We girls, here at Roosevelt, are anxious and eager to see some trophies which we have won by our efforts in the case. Roosevelt develops the mental side of its pupils-is the athletic side for the girls to be neglected? Our motto is A Sound Mind in a Sound Body. Yours for athletics, Five Girl Athletes. One Hundred Fifly QQ BWZNH CLASS ROOM ETIQUETTE Dear Editor: Did you ever get a scolding in one of your classes? l did. lt was horrible. l believe l even blushed. You see it would have been all right, because l didn't mind the scolding, but it was those awful classmates. As soon as the teacher spoke to me, they all turned around and stared. l could see them all staring at me and wondering what I would do. They made me so angry that l did just what l shouldn't have done. I talked back to the teacher. Of course, l know it was wrong, but those awful eyes staring at me, those awful grins, grinning at me-they just infuriated me. Oh, how I wish people wouldn't turn around and stare as soon as something goes wrong. l think we ought to write a letter to the student body and ask them to please face the front when a fellow-sufferer is going through the so-called third degree, don't you? Sincerely, J. R. Old. QDEBATING VERSUS ATHLETICS Dear Editor: ' Our debating teams who work and fight for our school and who make every effort to win do not get enough credit for what they do. It takes mental and physical power to compose a good debate, and more than that is neces- sary when the time comes to memorize the speech. All of this energy, and even more, is put forth by some of our pupils and still the majority of the members of our school do not appreciate their efforts. The athletics of Roose- velt are boosted and the athletes become heroes. Then, again, they receive splendid rewards for all that they do. This, in reality, is fun for them, and still they are well paid. But our debaters! What rewards are offered to them and who looks up to them as the real workers of Roosevelt? Despite the fact that they do all they can, they are not given just compensation for their work. The debaters do more real work than the athletes, therefore, l appeal to the whole school to boost our debaters andgive them a just reward to spur them on to further victories. A. H. S. - JOIN A CLUB Dear Editor: At some time during a person's school life, his interest in his studies is likely to lag. He may even contemplate dropping out of school to go to work. A membership in any of the live-wire organizations, which are abundant at Roosevelt, will do more than anything else to tide him over this period. For the boy orgirl who 'is interested in literature, there are the literary societies: for the athlete, football, swimming, basketball, or baseball: for the boy inter- ested in science, the radio or engineering' club: then there are the' Mask and Buskin, the Vocations, the Spanish, and the French Clubs. But if he is not interested in some school activity when the crisis comes-well, you know the story of the fellow who quits school early. Join a Club! From an O'itaite. One Hundred Fifty-one BWHHH BUY AIVIPLIFIERS Dear Editor: Have you good ears? Has every Rooseveltian good ears? If you have, you can certainly be thankful-you'll need them. If you haven't, you're just out of luck, because, term by term, it is harder and harder to hear in our Auditorium. Laying aside the question of our own comfort, consider the speaker. ls a speaker who comes here really comfortable during a speech? I don't believe he is-in fact, he can't be. He knows that he will have to shout, and probably spoil his speech. How would you like to make a speech when you knew it wouldn't be good? Ten chances to one, you wouldn't make itl No wonder our Auditorium Committee has so much trouble in getting speakers. This is really a serious question. We, the student body, are constantly clamoring for more and better Auditorium sessions. If we want better sessions, it's up to us to get them! We can remedy the bad acoustics of our Auditorium. It will mean money, it will mean work-but we can do it! We need amplification-that means- bfuy amplifiers. The co-operation of the student body, of the Patrons' Association, and of the faculty may be necessary to do this. But if amplifiers will help in our Auditorium now, and for years to come, don't you think it worth every bit of effort and money spent? Respectfully, K. K. Allen. SNOBS Dear Editor: The subject of this little preachalogue and advicealogue is a little germ you are all experienced with. There is not one of you who has not experienced that hurt feeling when someone passes you up in the hall with that glance of disdainful superiority. It brings with it cliscomfiture and a distinct feeling of anger toward the one who has inflicted the hurt, and a feeling that you'd just like to tell that snob a thing or two. Well, you know how it feels when other people do that trick to you, and how other people feel when you do it to them, so why not consider the matter? Everyone likes to have it said that he or she is a jolly good sport. They'll never say it about a snob who has his nose in the air and his eyes in the sky. They do say, A word to the wise is sufficient. From a Fellow-Sufferer. One Hundred Fifty-two 138.72156 QUIET AUDITORIUIVI SESSIONS Dear Editor: As we all know, we make entirely too much racket for a group of sup- posedly civilized people during our Auditorium sessions. I've often thought that Job had nothing at all on lVIr. Miller when it comes to patience. I've seen him stand on the stage in the Auditorium with his hand raised for order for several minutes, but still we buzzed on as though he were standing there for his health. I believe, however, that during the last two or three sessions we have subdued ourselves somewhat. But there is still much room for improvement. The program may not always be exactly what would appeal to us, but out of common courtesy and good breeding we should at least try to look interested and to keep quiet. Yours for Quiet Auditorium Sessions. LONGER ADVISORY SESSIONS Dear Editor: I say, I say, what do you say if we have longer advisory meetings? Why, my goodness, our merry chatter has scarcely begun when that person you call the Student Council Representative says, Quiet, please. There is important business to attend to and there isn't much time. It grows tiresome hearing those words every single, solitary Friday. If it isn't Rough Rider pledges it is Bwana pledges. They are half filled out when we are rudely interrupted by the ringing of a bell. There is no time for the program that the members of the group have so carefully planned. Please, for mercy's sake, help us and use your mighty influence to the best advantage. Your fellow-Rooseveltian, Helen Jean Read. A NEW KIND OF RALLY To the Editor: When one of Roosevelt's relatives heard that there was to be a large school named after the world-famous president, he is said to have remarked, I hope the school and its students will live up to its name. It is a shameful thing to confess, but we have not done so. Review Roosevelt's life. Did he ever steal anything? Was he ever called a thief? Not to my knowledge, and none of his biographers has him down as such a man. Yet here at Roose- velt, the school that is supposed to carry on his memory and his ideals, there is stealing going on. Yesl Downright stealingl In what form? In appropriat- ing lunchroom silver for our own use-to bend it into fantastic shapes or stick it into another's pocket. We can't defend ourselves by saying it isn't worth much. It is the best we can afford until we come to our senses. We aren't kids any morel Why not wake up and get next to ourselves? Why not start a new kind of rally? fsignedl Fair Play. One Hundred Fifty-three in O x EWEHH OPEN WINDOWS Dear Editor: I'd like to speak to you about open windows in the classrooms. In many of the rooms, the windows are shoved up as far as they will go. When one has been sitting in a warm, close room where the air is stifling it is not very good to enter a room where the air sweeps in through every window. Also, in a number of the rooms, the draft is really very strong. The door is some- times swung open by the force of the wind. Now a strong wind sweeping through a room during the whole period is not very advisable, in my opinion. It is in this season that so many severe colds occur. There is another disadvantage to this open window business. The Roose- velt pupils are asked to be neat. Now when this strong wind sweeps the pupils' hair all about their heads in every sort of direction imaginable, how can a body leave the room looking tidy? Not everyone carries a comb. I am not against fresh air and good circulation of air, but I think ventila- tion should be carried on in a reasonable manner. I like good, brisk air as well as anyone, but I don't think it is well to blow the pupils to pieces. Won't you consider this problem, editor? Yours truly, Anxious. INTERSCHOLASTIC SWIMMING Dear Sir: I am availing myself of this opportunity to ask your support. After I have explained the cause for which I am speaking, I am sure you will offer your assistance. As you know, swimming is one of the most useful sports a boy can take part in. Even though a boy isn't so good at baseball or football, if he knows how to swim fairly well, he is to be congratulated. A boy's ability to swim well has saved many a life. And what can induce a boy to learn to swim more than interscholastic swimming with an R for the successful swimmer? Interscholastic swimming would put swimming on an even basis with other athletics, where it belongs. Boys who, heretofore, have had to look on while others took part in school athletics could now take active part. Here is my plan. Each year, say in February, school try-outs for the team could be held. After the teams of the various schools have been picked, the meet could be held, say, late in May. The meet could be one big event like the annual track meet. The basis for awarding R's could be like that in track athletics. We want interscholastic swimming and, if you will pledge your support to our cause, I am sure we shall be successful. Yours truly, I. Splashalot.

Roberts In the All-Star High School Team, Roosevelt succeeded in placing two men on the first team, and one on the second. Cleveland also placed two. while Soldan placed one on the mythical five. Central and Beaumont failed to place any. Sauselle was chosen unanimously by the coaches for his all-around play- ing ancl fine floor work as right forward. Ed. Meier, chosen as his partner because of his shooting ability, gained left forward. Les Roberts was chosen as standing guard on the second team because of his fine defensive work and guarding, and was nosed out of a berth on the first team by Captain Pulford of Soldan. During this basketball season the Roosevelt basketball team played a total of I3 games. Roosevelt in these I3 games scored 482 points. The opponents scored 270 points. This gives Roosevelt an average of l.l5 points per minute played, while the opponents have been scoring .64 of a point per minute.

The Rough Riders clearly outplayed the Central- ites throughout the game. There was no doubt as to the winner of the contest. Central did not show the punch and playing ability of last season, when they won the championship. The team work of Coach Lorenzen's quintet made it hard to pick out an individual star. Each member of the team played a good game, and showed that the Rough Riders could be counted on as a pennant contender. Central's lanky captain, Willets, together with Corcoran, made twelve points between them. ROOSEVELT CENTRAL F. C F. T. F. Pts. F. C. F. T. F. Pts. Sauselle, R. F. 4 0 2 8 Schumacher, R. F.

At the start of the game, it looked as if Coach Lewis's team would draw away from our Rough Riders, but soon Meier and Sauselle found the basket and from then on Beaumont was eating our dust. Watts showed considerable ability in Ending the basket from the side lines, while Sauselle sank the ball from center. Our Eddie was not to be omitted under the basket, because he showed marked qualities of tipping in the ball for more points. Beaumont was weakened by the loss of Neil, but even if the North Siders' captain had been in the game, Roosevelt could not have been stopped. ln the second half Moffatt exchanged places with Watts and Graul with Jarrett. The winning of this game placed the Rough Riders in undisputed possession of first place. ROOSEVELT I7-SOLDAN 20 Roosevelt suffered its first League defeat at the hands of Soldan, who showed championship form. Soldan displayed a dazzling passing attack, which the Rough Riders seemed unable to cope with, throughout the game. The Brown and Gold basketeers seemed to have an uncanny ability at finding the basket, while the Rough Riders did not find the range until the second half. Roosevelt started a final spurt in the last few minutes of play only to have it cut short by the sound of the gun, with Soldan in the lead 20-I 7. However, On Hun 'rrd Slifffll PRESENTED O GE ECE MICHIGAN L R SIS CUP Roosevelt's defeat can be somewhat explained by the fact that Kessler and Sauselle, our forward men, were unable to play in the contest. ROOSEVELT DEFEATS CLEVELAND In a hard-fought contest, Roosevelt defeated their South Side rivals by a score of 24-22. Roosevelt seemed to have an off day, the boys did not seem to co-operate or work systematically, and at times showed loose team work. Continual spurts by the Carondeleters kept them apace with the Rough Riders. Roosevelt had a big lead by the end of the first half, 20-6, but became a little overconfident in the second half. Cleveland took advantage of this, piling up points, until it looked as if they might defeat Roosevelt. From that time on it was a nip and tuck affair, Roosevelt finally getting back to their stride, to total 24 points, as the gun sounded, to Cleveland's 22. ROOSEVELT 48-CENTRAL I 5 Roosevelt had no trouble in trimming Central again in the second game played between these two schools. Roosevelt was strengthened considerably by the return of Kessler to center with Meier and Sauselle as running mates in the forward position, in addition to Jarrett and Roberts at the guarding positions. Kessler celebrated by scoring I2 points, but Meier was high point man with 24. One Hundred Sixty-one QQ BWZHH Roosevelt was slow in starting, and the first quarter ended with the score of 6-3, Central trailing. However, after the Rough Riders had found the range in the next period, the score at the half was 22-4. Central spurted for a few minutes as the second half opened, but this rally was shortened, Meier leading a scoring spree that ended with Moffatt's goal as the gun sounded. ROOSEVELT CENTRAL F. C. F.

Sauselle and Kessler were next point scorers, scoring I2 and 8 points respectively. The half ended with Roosevelt leading 22-6. In the second half, Beaumont was able to score only three held goals, due to the brilliant guarding of Jarrett and Roberts, while Roosevelt doubled their score. Captain Neil of Beaumont scored six of his team's thirteen points. Coach Lorenzen's squad took the lead from the opening whistle and held it throughout the game.

Cleveland again drew away from the Rough Riders in the following half, and, only due to a spurt by Sauselle, did the team press the South Siders. As the gun sounded, Roosevelt trailed Cleveland by six points. Score, Cleveland 29-Roosevelt 23. The game was characterized by considerable roughness. A total of I6 fouls were called on the two teams. DISTRICT TOURNAMENT After winning the High School Championship, Roosevelt entered the District Basketball Tournament at St. Louis University, minus the services of Jarrett and Meier. However, these places were capably filled by Moffatt and Kelly I-leitz. Roosevelt eliminated their hardest rival, C. B. C., in their first game by a score of 22-I 7. C. B.

They opened the second half with a I0-9 lead, but Sauselle and Moffatt found the range of the basket and scored enough points to clinch the game. ln Roosevelt's next round the strong Webster quintet was downed by a score of 27-23. This victory placed the Red and White in the semi-finals where they met University City. Roosevelt took an easy game from University City High. The score was 27 to I2 and was somewhat of an upset, as the county team was expected to do much better because of the fine showing it made in downing Cleveland in the second round game in the morning. ROUGH RIDERS SUFF ER DEF EAT ln a clean, well played game, Wellston High School, champions of the County High School League, defeated Roosevelt High, title holders in the City High School League, thereby winning the St. Louis District High School One Hundred Sixty-fiue ROOSEVELT ROUGH RIDERS EN ROUTE TO COLUMBIA Basketball championship. During the first period, Wellston succeeded in piling up a 6-2 lead, but Moffatt and Roberts whittled this down to a 6-6 tie as the first period ended. Wellston got away to a fast start as the second quarter opened and kept the county team in front, and, at the end of the half, the score was I4-l l. Moffatt and Roberts again starred for Rough Riders in this period. In the third quarter Sauselle and Moffatt brought the count to I6-I4 with Wellston in the lead. The last quarter proved the most exciting one. A foul shot by Sauselle and a field goal by Kessler put the Rough Riders in the lead by one point, I7-l6. With but two minutes to go, Wellston got hot, broke loose and scored two baskets, bringing the final count to 20-I 7 as the gun sounded. Roosevelt was at a distinct disadvantage as they had to play four games while Wellston had to play only three, as Beaumont defaulted. Three games in one day is too great a strain for any team. During the tournament Sauselle scored I4 straight foul shots-quite a record. I ROOSEVELT AT COLUMBIA ' As a reward for being runner up in the district tournament, Coach I..orenzen's basketeers were presented with a handsome cupg and, in addition to this, the team was permitted to go to Columbia in order to participate in the State Tourney. The Rough Riders had previously filed entry in the Wash- ington University Mississippi Valley Tournament, but, because of conflicting dates, had to withdraw. RooseveIt's first opponent was Warrenton, who bowed before the Rough Riders by a score of 29-20. Warrenton got off to a good start and sank three baskets before Roosevelt scored their first tally. Moffatt did some brilliant One Hundred Sixty-six EWEHH playing during the first half, but the Rough Riders were on the short end of a I3-8 count when the half ended. ln the second half, Roosevelt found the basket and ran rough shod over their opponents and were leading by a 22-l6 score at the end of the third quarter. During the last quarter the Rough Riders scored seven points to make the total 29-20 as the game ended. ln the next round Roosevelt met jackson and the Rough Riders opened the game with a field goal by Moffatt, taking the lead. However, jackson soon tied it and then went into the lead. The game see-sawed back and forth and at the end of the first half Jackson led by a I3-I 0 score. With grim determination, the Rough Riders tied the score in the third quarter. Although the team had plenty of fight, they lost in the final frame by one point, Zl-20. The Roosevelt men acquitted themselves creclitably in the District and State Tournaments and deserve great praise. N 'M in 0 W V 1' 9 'x 'i.,ff Q U' .5 f Y f ., 0 ,410 ri F- !

Bad breaks, together with the errors made by the Rough Riders, caused their downfall. Two singles, a walk, and another single enabled the North Siders to tally twice. When F auth missed jarrett's throw to third, Beaumont scored two more runs, making a total of four. ln the second, Beaumont scored four, and in the fourth, one. Roosevelt scored in the second when Haverstock hit for a circuit. Neither team scored again until the sixth, when Roosevelt scored another run. The Rough Riders opened a hitting attack in the next inning and before the inning had ended, scored four more runs. However, Jordan of Beaumont tightened up and held the Rough Riders scoreless in the ninth. Beaumont failed to score in their half. BEAUIVIONT-8 ROOSEVELT-6 A.B. R. H. O. A. E. A.B. R. H. O. A. E.

Three pitchers were unable to stop the batting assault of Coach Carlson's nine, and in the field Roosevelt com- pletely outplayed the Centralites. Roosevelt's ace, C-roepper, allowed but one hit and one run in six innings, while Valendy held the Centralites batless and scoreless for the remainder of the game. Central scored their lone tally as a result of a hit and an error. I-leitz made four hits out of seven times at bat, while Behrman, who was the heavy batter of the day, connected with a homer and a triple. Sauselle and I-Iaverstock got three hits apiece out of six trips to the plate. As a result of this victory the Rough Riders went into second place, Cleve- land in first. Beaumont slipped to third, Central and Soldan went to cellar berths. One Hundred Seventy BUJZJNE ROOSEVELT CENTRAL R. H. PO. A. E.. AB. R. H. PO. A. E.

The fine pitching of Groepper and Valendy, combined with the consistent hitting of the Rough Riders, made it a pleasant day for the Crimsonites. In the second inning four errors, two bases on balls, and two stolen bases were sufficient to let four Rough Riders gallop over the rubber for four runs. Jarrett singled in the fourth and Heitz then clouted a homer in deep center, scoring two more runs. In the fifth, Watts singled, then went to third on a wild throw by the pitcher, and when Gordon tried to pick him off third, he scored. With one down in the eighth, Behrman singled, stole second, and scored when Sauselle cracked out a single. Soldan got its two runs as a result of two bases on balls and a pair of errors in the sixth.

Before a crowd of 800 frantic rooters, the largest crowd assembled for a city league baseball game, this classic took place with heightened enthusiasm on both sides. Roosevelt was leading 5-I up to the seventh, when Cleveland came to bat and scored four runs to make it five in all. In the eighth, Cleveland scored two markers to take the lead, but the Rough Riders sliced off four runs in their inning to shift the tide in their favor. But Fenenga's nine came back in the ninth with two runs to make the count 9-9, and there it remained. During the game Cleveland was forced to use six pitchers, while Roosevelt used three, Groepper, Valendy and Sauselle taking turns on the mound for Coach Carl- son's nine. CLEVELAND ROOSEVELT AB. H.

Although Ted has only been in the forefront of High School athletics a short time, indications are that he will develop into one of the greatest all-around athletes the Mound City has ever known. Although Ted is not yet seventeen years of age, he has made himself known in practically every branch of sports. While at Roosevelt, he has starred in baseball, football, basketball and track, earning his letter in each. ln addi- tion to this, he plays well on the courts, although he is unable to try out for the tennis team. ln 1926 Ted was selected on the second all star quintet. lnexperience alone prevented him from being a first team choice. The same case held true in baseball, for again he made the second team. Ted proved to be a sensation at the very outset of the football season, and at the end of the season he was given unanimous choice for all-star honors. ln basketball Ted was also the class of the league and again made the mythical team without any serious opposition. Then there is track, for he is also a stellar runner, especially in the 440 event. One Hundred Seventy-three COACH CASTLEMAN TRACK COLISEUM MEET I The track season was just fairly under way when Coach Castleman received word to enter some men in the Western A. A. U. meet. Coach entered a small number of boys who had been on last year's team or had had some previous experience. He entered Pelke and C. Wilson in the high jump, a relay team composed of Behrman, Selden, Keightley, I-Iartel. In the 40-ytrd dash, Kalafatich got away to a bad start, but managed to finish fourth. MISSISSIPPI VALLEY MEET - ROOSEVELT TRACKSTERS IMPROVE At the Mississippi Valley Meet, held in the field house at Washington University, the Roosevelt tracksters showed a marked improvement over their showing in the Coliseum meet. Preliminaries were held in the afternoon, and, as a result, Roosevelt had a fair representation in the Hnals, when the Rough- Rider cinder men placed third among the city high schools and sixth in the filing. Pelke qualified in the high jump, but failed to place in the finals. H. Wilson took fourth in the 40-yard high hurdles, while Kalafatich took third in the 40-yard dash. Previously joe had made a record in the preliminaries. In the 40-yard shuttle relay our speed merchants, Selden, Behrman, I'leitz, and Jacobs, took a second. Maher, although winning his heat, missed breaking into the scoring column in the 440-yard run. ROOSEVELT - WEBSTER WEBSTER TRACK TEAM NOSES OUT ROOSEVELT ln a close, hard-fought meet, the Webster tracksters barely nosed out the Rough Riders by a score of l04Mq to IOOM. Kelly I'Ieitz was the individual star, scoring four firsts for 20 points, in addition to running a good race on the relay team.

At first there was some difficulty in securing a coach, but Walter Hausknecht came to the rescue and offered his services. Mr. Hausknecht, who belongs to the Tower Grove Natatorium, is indeed a competent coach. Unfortunately, the team is able to get the pool only once a week, and is therefore unable to get the proper amount of practice. Despite these handicaps, the boys are working hard and are confident of success in the future. PRINCIPIA MEET The Roosevelt team, with only a few weeks of practice, went out to Principia and took a sound drubbing at the hands of the strong Principia team.

GIRLS' ATHLETICS Although the girl athletes of St. Louis do not play interscholastic games, athletics is developed to some extent in the schools. Here, at Roosevelt, we have six athletic associations for girls, which proves that Roosevelt has many girl athletes. One of the peppiest and largest of these associations is the Basketball Club. where the girls are trained to become excellent basketball players. They are divided into groups according to term, and, after the practice games, a team of nine is chosen for each term. The final games are then played and the teams coming in first and second are given B's. The Girl Athletes of Roosevelt is the only girls' organization which sells football, basketball, and baseball tickets for the interscholastic games. Om' Hundred Eighry-one 130.72135 lndoor baseball has long been a favorite sport of the girls. This club contains a number of girls who can hit homers -like Babe Ruth himself. When the weather is favorable, the teams play outside and real spirit and dash are put into the game. The nine girls doing the best during the term constitute the Baseball Nine, and are awarded R's. Some of the batting averages of the girls are: L. Langbein 520 C. Filsinger 500 F. Wright 425 A. Linder 520 M. Marqua 500 B. Brenner 400 W. Todd 520 M. Schworm 475 I. Strebler 500 N. Roesch 485 Volley ball is another athletic club which is in the foreground at Roose- velt because of its activity. It contains real girl athletes, many of whom have been awarded V's. The girls' swimming team here at Roosevelt also makes some splendid records. Two girls have already completed the mile swim, which is about thirty- five times around the Roosevelt pool. ln awarding the girls' emblems, speed, endurance and diving are taken into consideration. Some of the older mem- bers of the team who have a good chance to make their letters are: A. Chase De Groat R. Jacoby B. Cox D. Sweigler I... Langbein N. Roesch A newly organized athletic club is the Wayfarers, which has developed some regular John lVlurrs. The girls showed their mettle in their first hike, when they hiked to Florissant. C. A. R. The Girl Athletes of Roosevelt will be reorganized next term for the purpose of putting the girls on probation until they make l00 points. The points will be given to create competition and thus further the girls' interest in athletics. Girls who are in other athletic clubs will also gain recognition. To gain the l00 points will be only a step toward the goal, the Missouri State Letter, which is presented after l000 points are earned. Points will be awarded for the following activities: 35 points for playing on the first team in baseball, basketball, or volley ball, and for being on the swimming team. I0 points for trying out for the teams, and a perfect attendance. 25 points for the first forty miles of hiking. fThere should not be more than eight miles in one hike., 25 points for a half-mile swim. One Hundred Eighty-two QQ EWEHH I0 points for a quarter-mile swim. 5 points for an eighth-mile swim. 50 points for a perfect record in gymnasium, and this record will be based on perfect attendance, improvement, and effort. I0 points for tennis. 5 points for one hour's continuous skating. Points will also be given in basketball and baseball shots, which will be based on accuracy and distance. TRACK MEET The girl athletes of Roosevelt staged a track meet with Miss Varian's help, and some fine records were made. The girls entered into each event with a vigor and enthusiasm that the boys would find hard to beat. The following are the results: HIGH JUMP BASKET BALL GOALS l. F. Wright 54 inches l. B.

First, l want to congratulate you girls on your wonderful sale of baseball tickets. It was really amazing. As Florence said, l have something to say to you. l've been thinking that while the girls who are above fives are working for their M, the other girls could be working on a system of points we could figure out.

As for our other plans, what do you think of going to Tower Grove Park next Monday and playing baseball? We can meet in front of the school and walk over. l'll appoint a committee to see about the 'eats.' Don't forget to pay your twenty-five cents! The names will be on the bulletin board.

We have good games of Basketball, And everyone enjoys them all. Miss Varian coaches the game so fine, All players are soon in the regular line. Gene Keaney leads all, from ones to eights, And as a player, she's first rate. The dues are collected by our twin treasurer Whose name, as you know, is Virginia Strick-er. There's another officer named Mary McNeill With whom, as reporter, we get a square deal. And each of our hundred thirty, at the end, ls more than anxious her term to defend. Some people think that basketball is beginning to replace baseball, for baseball is only played in this country in the late spring and summer while, in most places, basketball is played all the year round, especially by girls. Basketball was innovated in Canada, but its development is due to the sportive interest which is always awake in America. lf it were not for our fostering it, basketball would not be alive today for, at its introduction, it was a cumbersome affair and the Canadians seemed to be content .to leave it so. Regular bushel baskets with no opening in the bottom were used instead of nets. Therefore, some one had to play the role of caddy. This position fell to the janitor, so whenever a player was fortunate enough to throw the ball into the basket, the janitor had to bring out his stepladder and retrieve the sunken ball. If there had been any players like De Bernarde or the Bradburn brothers in those days this would have been a rather strenuous job. As it was, the retriever had plenty of work. Probably that is one of the reasons the new sport proved so popular-it created a new sort of work for the janitor: besides, it afforded a Nick Altrocku comedy as a side attraction. As our colleges and athletic organizations became interested, enlarge- ments on the rules were made, and finally a convention was held to draw up a definite constitution. The rules which followed were so complete, clear, and definitely stated that very few amendments or additions have been necessary. As played today there are three different ways. There is the boys' game which you know if you have attended any of the rallies or games. The next is the three-court basketball for girls. The playing floor is divided into three sections but the principle of the game is the same as that of the boys'. And last there is nine court basketball: here the court is divided into nine sections and the players rotate. This is the game played by the Girls' Basketball Club.

'51 nv ' gl One Hundred Ninety One Hundred Ninety-one CERTRUDE EDERLE GLENNA COLLETT WOlVIEN'S PROGRESS IN THE FIELD OF SPORT Let us go back fifty years and view our mothers and grandmothers at play. Alas! it is rather difficult, for, as your own parents will tell you today, a girl's place was, and should be, in the house-to be more specific-in the kitchen. Sport was considered as a recreation mainly for men. Of course, women did enter into the field somewhat, but it is almost pathetic to imagine them jumping around in skirts which reached almost to the ground. Twenty-five years later we breathe a little easier, for the dresses aren't quite so tight at the waist. We note, too, that they are no longer sweeping the ground but show a little part of the foot. Still women never thought of com- peting with men, and as for women swimming across the English Channel! the idea was preposterous! Yet women were slowly gaining all along the line. ln fact, we had a woman champion tennis player in spite of long hair and flowing robes. However, a quarter of a century later this same woman with bobbed hair and short skirts had increased l00 per cent in her ability as a tennis player. One Hundred N1inc'tyfIu.'o EWZINH And now we are in the year l927. ln the sports field women have advanced in leaps and bounds. The picture which we look upon today is greatly different to the one we viewed fifty years ago. Here is the picture of 1927: First, we have Miss Ederle, a hearty young American girl, who startles the world by swimming from Cape Gris Nez to the English coast in l4 hours and 31 seconds. just think of itl Twenty-one miles in a little over I4 hours, or IW miles an hourl The world opened its eyes, some men gnashed their teeth, and the rest ran over to France to test their ability. A few weeks more and lol another woman battles these mighty waves. This time Mrs. Clemington Corson of New York crosses in I3 hours. Though this was an hour less than Miss Ederle's record, it surpassed by one hour the record put forth by the fastest male channel swimmer, Sebastian Tirabosche. Man's heart quivered at this second achievement but ere the hands of the clock circled the dial twice. Ernst Vierkoetter of Germany was setting a new record of I2 hours and 43 minutes. Again in less than two weeks Georges Michel, Frenchman, crossed the English Channel, beating Trudie's record by three and one-third hours. This is as it should be, declared everyone, for we hate to think of the gentler sex being able to conquer our husky brothers. However, swimming has brought our prowess perilously near to man's, but there still is a barrier sepa- rating the two. To be exact, the difference between the fastest man and woman in swimming is I0 seconds in l00 yards, the difference being in favor of man. Women, it is stated, can never overcome this difference, the reason being that the feminine contours of even the thinnest woman offer too great a resistance to water. One advantage women will always have, however, is endurance. The fatty tissues provide this by giving heat and buoyancy to the body. We now leave the sea and come to dry land, to view the golfers and tennis players of both sexes. One would think that since skill counts in golf almost as much as strength, women could equal men, but this is not so. Miss Glenna Collett, the national champion of l925, averaged about 200 yards off the tee, but her drives are short about 55 yards of the drives of the star golf men. Men, we must admit, have all the advantages over women at this sport. They are superior in driving, they have more finality, and much more confidence than women. Thus we find that in this game, where the gentlest touch wins, bungling, blundering man is superior. And now Mlle. Suzanne Lenglen has made her million as a professional in the United States and is returning to France. Though Madamoiselle is the world's greatest woman tennis player, there is a great breach between her playing and that of Big Bill Tiden, who, it is said, can beat Suzanne with his sweater on. Though Madamoiselle is speedy of foot, she is less speedy of stroke, and most of her games are won by returning safely good shots and gaining points through opponents' mistakes. Again in tennis we find that One Hundred Ninety- ihree BWENE men have the advantage over women. One of the foremost advantages is that man is generally the taller of the two. Then, too, man has excellent hitting power, greater speed of foot, and generally greater tactical ability. The records reached by each sex in some of the minor sports are: Women Broad jumping I8 feet Throwing the 8-pound shot 35 ft., 3M in. Throwing men's official discus weighing 4 lbs., 6M oz. Throwing of woman's official discus weighing 2 lbs., IZM oz. IOI ft., I inch High jump 593A inches Pole vault 7 ft., 2 inches Standing broad jump 8 ft., 3M in. Record for 220 yds. running 27 475 seconds Men 25 ft., IOM in. 67 ft., 7 in. IB6 ft., IM in. 80M inches I3 ft., 92, in. I I ft., 4 inches 20 4M seconds And so we find in the picture of I927 a marvelous progress made by women. Men, we must admit, are in the lead, but who shall say what the picture of I950 will contain?

At the close of last term, we organized as Fives, the first class to do so. Our only social activity was a snappy skating party given in December. A wide-awake entertainment committee of five members has been appointed to arrange class functions for this term. The class picture has been taken and a happy time is anticipated at the luncheon to be held in the very near future. An outdoor party is contemplated as soon as the weather is more favorable for outdoor pastimes. We trust the effect of our organization as Fives and Sixes, with a beginning in social activities, will be the means of fostering a strong group spirit, and that not one of our present l95 members will become discour- aged and drop out of school. We will soon be Sevens, then Eights, when we expect to engage in more extensive class activities. With the spirit and enthusiasm shown thus far, our class promises to make history for the school and for itself, not only in supporting all the school activities and having a good time socially, but also in ranking high in scholarship and promoting a wholesome and loyal school spirit.

The achievement of scholarly habits is the fundamental purpose of our attendance at high school: character, without which no one can live a happy, successful life, is undoubtedly a requirement of superior importance: leadership is essential to one who wishes to do well in any work in which he may engage: and we shall always find opportunities for service no matter where we go or what we do. This briefly explains why these four qualities were chosen as the standards for the Honor Society. It should be the aspiration of every student to become a member of the Torch. The time to begin working for the Torch is immediately upon entering High School and it is well to bear in mind that, in striving to attain this goal, work should not be limited to scholastic endeavor alone: the student should take part in school activities and athletics as well. Membership in this worthy organization is limited to the upper fourth of the Senior and New Senior classes, and, to conform with the rule sent from national headquarters, only fifteen per cent of the Senior class and ten per cent of the New Senior class may be chosen by the Faculty Council. Those from the Senior and New Senior classes who have been elected to the Torch Society are: Kennett Allen Beatrice Audrain Adolph Baron Vernon Bartlett Emil Bassler Cecelia Bishop Charlotte Braun Helen Brunl-:horst Lee Coil Harold Crowder Dorothy Devero Lillian Gale Zelda Glassman Two Hundred Four Christian Guebert Emma Haas Milton Hartig Loretta Harvey Loretta Haudrich Charles Hewes Mary Inghram Marian judell Joe Kalafatich George Kalbfleisch Helen Kitchell Maxine Larisey Genevieve Longo Edgar Machacek Catheryn Mahne Jessie Main Hattie Martin Gertrude Messina Hugo Meyer Helen Peschke Ray Sekyra Victoria Stricl-:er Virginia Stricker Alene Weir Dorothy Winchest Marcia Wingren Cl' TORCH Ni E C I S2 3 Q.

Not every highschool is blest with a democratic legislative body like our Student Council. Each advisory group, by popular vote, elects a student representative to whom suggestions are made for presentation in the Council. The Mayor and the Chairmen of the Six Standing Committees are nominated in the Council and elected by the school at large. The work of the Student Council is divided among the Standing Com- mittees, each of which consists of a faculty adviser, the chairman, and four Council representatives. With the aid of the faculty and the excellent co-operation of the student body, this term's Council has passedjmportant legislation. The school ring has been changed and designs for Service and Scholarship pins have been adopted. New Ideas are being carried out by our Council. The Citizenship Com- mittee arranged for a permanent guest committee and is undertaking the important work of preparing cards on which will be placed the student's entire high school service record. The Athletic Committee is sponsoring the organization of a Roosevelt R Club to secure better acquaintance among our athletes. The usual work of the Council is being done with zeal, as shown by the excellent sale of Rough Rider and Bwana tickets, the protection of school property, and the successful auditorium sessions. It may be seen that this Council has been active. However, remember, fellow Rooseveltians, that a successful Council depends upon the co-opera- tion and loyal support of the student body.

Next her at ye Round Table doth sit Anita Lewitz, ye scribe, who doth record all ye proceedings. Lillian Gale and Florence Wright, forsooth, are ye damsels who do eject ye unruly members from ye proude companie. Thelma Hoeber is ye Vice- President and Aline Weir doth endeavor to collect ye moneys. This august gathering doth meet each Tuesday, and they do make merrye at all times, for ye programes are filled with interest. At these conclaves, sub- jects are discussed which affect ye affairs of ye nation most highly, such as Resolved, that a powder-puff is a necessity to humanity. At ye Rounde Table, too, was it decided that ye onion is stronger that ye pugilist, to-wit, Gene Tunney. Questions of lesser importance come also before ye body. The resolution, forsooth, that the women voters of Missouri be required to serve on juries was solemnly discussed with much rag, tag, and bobtail. Ye Rounde Table is also intrusted with gettinge ye teams in readiness for ye tournament with ye other High Schools of ye cities. In these jousts ye standards of ye team lift high ye colors of Roosevelt, and ofttimes in ye skirmishes our forces emulate ye Caesar of old record in ye chronicle-they veni, vidi, vici, and bringe back ye prize, to-wit, ye Wellesley Cup.

YE SCRlBE. Two Hundred Ten Two Hundred Eleven BWENH MASK AND BUSKIN CLUB NOTES All this club's a stage, and the members actors, at least, that is what they try to be. The real purpose of this club is to train the members so that any missiles indicating the disapproval of the audience will be unnecessary. The game of this club is really just one of acting. The members are the players and are assisted by a coach. Before the game the participants are given their respective positions on the team. Then come the practice games-the rehearsals. These are usually held in Room 218 after school. Then, after about five rehearsals, the players are getting ready for the big game. Now is the time when the hero bites his finger nails for fear that he will forget his part, when the heroine twiddles her fingers as the time of her appearance is drawing near, and when the villain paces the floor and secures his false moustache for fear that it will fall off. The game is on! The coach takes her place behind the screen and is ready to make corrections and give hints. Thus the players are given their experience at weekly meetings. The championship game is the auditorium play once a term. Future E. H. Sotherns, Sarah Bernhardts and Edwin Booths are needed. New talent is always in demand to take the place of those graduating. Come to the practice games and get in the game of acting. The more the merrierl The fewer the sorrier! Practice starts again next term. Don't fail to come and try out.

Cries have come from all parts of the habitable earth, from Herzegovina, Afghanistan, Zululand, Schleswig-Holstein, Tasmania, Strafford, Mo., all pleading for some settle- ment of this question of international concern. These countries have pleaded for action on this subject, so vital to chipmunks, hyenas, and ant eaters the world over. Horse colic forced George Bungle's famous white elephant Yeu Heu to leave home, yet it has also prevented the horse from be- coming a power in the League of Nations. After years of hopeless research and debate, the matter was referred to the Roosevelt Literary Society. In a single meeting, the Hon. H. Tomasek and Hon. A. Baron placed before a startled and amazed world the fact that horse colic is and always will be detrimental to the human race. Also, why is a duck? At every meeting some such debate is held in Room 203, and we invite you to become a member and enjoy them as much as we do. But there are other reasons for becoming a member of our society. In the Literary you associate with the very best representatives of Roosevelt enthusiasm and patriotism. So often one is called upon to display his knowledge of Parliamentary Law. With us you can learn the elements of Parliamentary Law along with the usual good time enjoyed by every member-just ask one! We aim to further the knowledge of Literature. Also in lessons clothed in humour, one learns to express his thoughts on current topics. SEE US and you will discover the easy way to give and take knocks. You will learn to be a good, clean, hard fighter, such as Teddy was. In other words, we recommend the Literary Society for Snoring, Hali- tosis, Club Feet, Lisping, Corns, Stiff Neck, Sore Throat, Stage Fright, and other sterling qualities. With apologies to the Strafford Gazette, I was, The Secretary.

Hattie Martin FOREHIII O'ita meeting every first and third Friday in Room 301. Those of you who have never attended any of our meetings, well- you've just missed gobs and gobs of fun, because we just have the mer- riest times imaginable at those meetings. Rip-roarin' comedies of hen-pecked husbands, fatal pills and other such tragic affairs, always win the admiration of the girls. At the opening of each meeting, we sing our sweetly inspiring song. Besides our dramatic efforts, you will find on our programs many discourses of an educational and literary nature. Every now and then we stage an interesting debate, and a study of various literary practices has featured other meetings. We take part in the competitive literary events of the school, of which the Oratorical Contest is the most important. The girls look forward with great anticipation to the exciting stories and jokes in our little newspaper, the Cold-Bug, distributed at the close of each meeting. Once a year we trip the light fantastic to all the latest tunes: our Christ- mas party is always a delight to all of us. And our Mothers' Day program is the last word in entertainment and tops the season's activities. The membership is limited to seventy-five. I-Iowever, don't think you're the seventy-sixth and make yourself scarce and desert us, for there is always room for one more, you knowg and may I pause here to give a gentle hint to the wise, DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU'RE AN EIGHT TO JOIN, because you can do neither yourself nor the club full justice. It is fresh and flawless material that we want. We believe that you, in joining us, will find you have acquired a new, worthwhile interest, and you will give to us an added impetus and be an asset to our jolly circle. Thank you. H. IVI. F.

DEBATING SQUAD The debating squad, although it did not bring the Princeton Cup to Roosevelt, made a highly satisfactory showing in the lnterscholastic Debates on March 25. Although in previous years the ranking of the speakers was always con- sistent with the decision of the judges, this year it was not so in our own case. Here at Roosevelt, our affirmative team, consisting of Roland Miller. Morris Karner, Rene Lusser, and Herbert Tomaselc, debated the negative team of Central. Although the Roosevelt speakers received a higher rank- ing than Central, the decision was awarded to Central by Professor Howell, who was the so-le judge. The negative team of Roosevelt, consisting of Lawrence Sellers, John Cheely, Henry Tebben, and Clarence Powers, met the affirmative team of Beaumont at Beaumont. At this debate the same thing occurred. Roosevelt had a much better ranking than Beaumont, and yet the decision went to Beaumont. Great credit is due to our tireless coaches, Mr. Lewis, who coached the affirmative team, and Mr. E.. C. Tugel, who coached the negative team. For next year, Roosevelt has some good prospects. The teams certainly deserve the support of the school. Back them up, Rooseveltians: R. G, L. Two Hundred Eighteen GIRLS' DEBATING TEAMS To be or not to be--that is the question. Should St. Louis have a subway or should she not? That is the question with which the Girls' Debating Teams struggled last fall. To be sure it didn't sound as simple as all that, but was garbed in formality. The propo- sition read, Resolved, That the City of St. Louis Adopt the Rapid Transit Plan Now Before the Board of Aldermenf' The teams consisted of: AFFIRMATIVE. NEGATIVE l. Hattie Martin l. Marian judell 2. Lillian Gale 2. Loretta Harvey 3. Anita Lewitz 3. Catheryn Mahne Alternate: Virginia Horn Alternate: Marcia Wingren The affirmative met Beaumont at Beaumont, and, although they fought valiantly, they were defeated. The negative, who met Central at Roosevelt, was successful. We now have two legs on the Wellesley Cup and need only one more to secure it. Cleveland and Beaumont each have one leg. Under Mi-ss Smith's coaching, we are sure of bringing the cup to a permanent abode in our trophy case. ANITA LEWITZ. Two Hundred Nineteen BWENH THE COLLEGE CLUB Motto: Always to Excel Moderator Miss IVI. C. Dockery OFFICERS President Beatrice Audrain Vice-President Dorothy Devero Recording Secretary Marian Judell Corresponding Secretary Cecilia Bishop Treasurer I Amy Chase Sergeant-at-Arms Marian Mardorf Dear Bess: This letter is a sudden jolt, I'm sure, but, really, I have intended writing to you ever since you asked about the College Club. First, I'll tell you what the Club really is. It is a literary club with a limited membership, each term new members are chosen to take the places of those graduating. A desire for self improvement leads most of the mem- bers into the Club: the benefits derived and the good times enjoyed hold the members. Itis a great club, let me tell you. Many of the girls are taking music lessons of various types. Playing before the Club is good training for them. I never will forget my First appearance. The new members always give a program, so when asked what I could do, I said, HI can play the piano. My name went down for a number. I wasn't nearly so nervous the time I won my medal. My fingers never before or since refused to work as they did when I played my initia- tion number. I knew that I was being judged by my peers. That was three terms ago. I had just entered Roosevelt and knew very few of the girls, but now it's quite different. Due to my training in the Club I can play with ease and am able to speak without losing all control of my muscles. My Club training has helped me a lot, too, in my class work! We have quite a variety of programs. We have great faith in the old saying, All work and no play makes Jack a dull boyng so we mix the edu- cational with the entertaining. For example, our February program con- cerned the lives of great men born during that month. A member of the club represented each great man discussed. The greatest laugh was caused by Frieda Crusius. She was George Washington, dressed as he looked when a boy. A hatchet was in her hand, and nearby was the cherry tree, recently hacked down. In walked the father and when he asked George what had happened to his tree, George replied, Father, I cannot tell the truthg I cut down the hatchet with my little cherry tree! We Seniors gave the last program. We were most awfully serious for part of the program, but our fun feature was a great success. It was the Two Hundred Twenty BWEJNE pantomime, Wild Nell. Dot Devero was Wild Nell and Catheryn Mahne, Handsome I-larry. Verna Weis was an adorable Lady Vere de Vere. This was a love story with a tragic ending. It caused quite an uproar. One thing we stress is originality. That's what puts pep into a club. Sometimes a play must be written in short order. It is assigned to one of our worthy members, such as Bee Audrain, Marian judell, Cecelia Bishop,-and Oh. there are many others l could name if time allowed. No matter how short the notice, tho, the assigned work will be ready in due time. At our last meeting we had Mfhe Evolution of a College Club Senior, which was awfully cute when acted out by Olive Hartman, Evelyn Brem- steller, Amy Chase, and Aliene Weir. Marian Judell wrote the verses. It was darling. Your friend, Helen. P. S. Come down some second or fourth Friday, and l'll take you to the meeting with me. Visitors are welcome at all open meetings.

Station G-L-E.-E.-C-L-U-B will now sign off at exactly I I :55, Roosevelt time. P. S. Be sure and be at the next meeting and take part in our singing. JACK SLEIN. Two Hundred Twenty-one Two Humircfd Twrnry-Iuao COLLEGE CLUB I Two Humlred 'IQLUUIYIQJ - three GLEE CLUB BUJZINH THE INTERSCHOLASTIC ORATORICAL CONTEST N APRIL I l, Roosevelt busied itself with the selection of its two representatives in the interscholastic Oratorical Contest. The Literary Society, the Assembly, the College Club, and the O'ita each selected one contestant to represent their society in the finals at Roosevelt. The Literary Society was represented by Rene Lusser, the Assembly by Wiley Bischoff, the College Club by Marian Judell, and the Oiita by Zelda Classman. The two victorious con- testants were Zelda Glassman and Rene Lusser. These two represented Roose- velt in the lnterscholastic Oratorical Contest, which was held on April 22, at the Graham Memorial Chapel on the Washington University Campus. The Debating Council of the Washington University again put up two cups for competition. These cups will be in competition for a period of hve years. At the termination of that time, the cups will be awarded to the schools having the highest number of points scored on them. Last year Roosevelt received permanently the boys' cup offered in 1921, while Central received the girls' cup, Roosevelt being a very close second. This year both of our contestants placed. In the boys' division the Roosevelt representative, Rene Lusser, who spoke on The New Era, received second place, Walter Ploeser of Cleveland receiving first place. Russel Alger Sherer of Soldan placed third. Consequently Roosevelt scored two points on the new cup, Cleveland three points, and Soldan one point. ln the girls' division, our representative received third rank. Zelda Glass- man spoke on ln Defense of Youth. Gladys Meyerott of Cleveland received first place and janet Mangold of Beaumont placed second. Roosevelt has scored one point on the new girls' cup. Our representatives did very well and represented the school with the proper Roosevelt spirit. Thus Roosevelt has started in a fine way to bring the two cups to Roosevelt in five years. The discouraging feature of the whole contest was that, although the attendance was large, Roosevelt had only a few followers scattered through the chapel. It is the duty of the Roosevelt student body to co-operate with its contestants in the academic Held as much as on the athletic field. So, Rooseveltians, let us all go out next year and bring home the cups! RENE LUSSER. Two H urzdrvd Tweniy- four TUESDAY AND THURSDAY ORCHESTRA Moderator Mr. Maginn OFFICERS President Edward Skipwith Vice-President Barney Morris Treasurer Adelaide Linder Secretary Norma Schlake Ceel what's that terrible racket? asked a New Junior. Oh! answered his older friend, that's one of the orchestras warm- ing up, but wait a minute and you'll hear something worth while. Well, that noise doesn't sound very promising. Oh, of course they don't play like that. They're just trying to amuse themselves by each playing his favorite selection. Listen! The discord has stopped. 'lt won't be long now' before you hear some real music. Umph, retorted the Freshman, you've got to show me. There-what's that l hear? If it isn't real music, what is? Gee, they can play well, can't they? Oh yes, said the elder of the two, they play hard selections and play them well. But they get their results. One of them is their popularity. Why, say, the combined orchestras have played twice this term, already, and are looking to other times when they will serve their school. Last term we all enjoyed their playing at both the Senior Play and Graduation. Do they have any fun in this orchestra? inquired this 'One.' Much fun? Why, can you think of anything extremely sad about music? Music, itself, is happiness-besides the thrill of satisfaction one gets out of learning new and harder pieces. Will they allow a humble 'New Jay' to join their ranks? Why not? They have no restrictions on membership. But all members must be loyalg they must bring their instruments to every meeting. lf you mean you don't think you can play those pieces, that's different. Still, no one knows his ability until he has tried. They don't play a piece perfectly at first, but under the leadership of Mr. Maginn they progress rapidly. lf you want to join this lively orchestra just go to Room 401 some Tuesday or Thursday during the fifth period. This upper classman was right-we do progress rapidly because of Mr. lVlaginn's efforts, and we are thankful to him for his services. As far as our being lively is concerned, just glance over the list of officers and see for yourselves. Two Hundred Ttuvnty-five Two Hundred Twenty-six ORCHESTRA MONDAY AND WEDNESDAY ORCHESTRA TUESDAY AND THURSDAY Two Hundred Twenty-seven swarm THE BAND Mr. Maginn Moderators and Mr. Fallcenhainer OFFICERS President Barney Morris Vice-President Tony Le Pardo Secretary Carl Ude Treasurer Martin Miller Sergeant-at-Arms Burt Kauffman Every Tuesday and Thursday, the seventh period, the band is heard practicing its peppy music, in the music room on the fourth floor, under the direction of Mr. Falkenhainer or Mr. Maginn. The organization is a live group of young musicians, who derive a great deal of enjoyment from their practicing, and desire to offer some real music to the school. We have furnished music for several rallies this term, and hope to be able to play at some of the games in the future. At the present time we are planning and practicing for a program to be given in the audi- torium on May 2. When the student body expressed a desire to have a band, last term, several problems stood in the way of organizing the band. These problems, however, were overcome by the athletic committee and by the success of the senior play. As a result of this success, the band was able to buy several important and necessary instruments. We were very fortunate in obtaining Mr. Falkenhainer, a well-known musician of St. Louis, as our director. Mr. Falkenhainer has spent a con- siderable amount of his valuable time instructing the band, and also in giving private lessons to several of its members. We are striving to increase the size of the band and make it the biggest and best high school band in St. Louis. Therefore, anyone who plays any band instrument should consult Mr. Maginn, immediately, and join us. A school the size of Roosevelt should have a large band, which should serve as a real source of school spirit. CARL UDE. Two Hundred 7ilUsi'f7ltl -eight D f N BA '53 E C: F 'S Q. 'F Q L.

ART CLUB Sponsor Miss Place OFFICERS President Marie Wittler Vice-President Virginia Hunn Secretary and Treasurer Virginia Bube Librarian Dorothy Waldeck Every second and fourth Tuesday of the month the Art Club meets at the Art Museum, where Miss Powell, the educational director, gives inter- esting lectures on various subjects. The subjects for this term were: The Beginnings of American History. Who Was Assur-nazir-pal? Greek Art. The Art of Pompeii. Any Rooseveltian is welcome to come to hear these talks, and we are sure that they will be well repaid for their trouble. On the other Tuesdays, the meetings are held in Room 4, where articles of art craft are made. These vary each term. The past term was spent on designing and painting wall plaques. Besides this, note books are made from cut pictures, newspaper clippings, and notes taken on the lectures. We shall certainly appreciate your visit to Room 4.

In fact, as our work is our play, we certainly have a great deal of play because we do a great deal of work. At our regular meetings, on Mondays and Wednesdays the fourth hour, we practice our songs so we may enjoy singing them to entertain other people. Last Christmas Eve we went to various tea rooms caroling, and, through our efforts, gained quite a sum of money for the Children's Welfare League. You may be sure that we all enjoyed that. We also sang in the auditorium last term when the R's were presented. Our last activity last term was our spread which was planned for our very own amusement. All agreed that the spread was the best they had ever attended. This term we joined with the chorus classes and sang in a body of 500 for the Prin- cipals' Convention and for Open House Night. Perhaps you noticed our picture in a Sunday paper last March? lt was accompanied by the announce- ment that we would sing with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in their concert in the Roosevelt auditorium, March 29. With this list of achievements to our credit, the Carol Club is proud of its record, and we shall continue to call our WO'RK our PLAY. MARY ,IO ARPE.

But now that the baseba.Il season is again with us, we are going out to play some real Indoor. Formerly, the club had only a few members, but it has grown to such dimensions that it has to be divided into four teams to give everyone a chance to play. The club has a business meeting every Wednesday after school in Room 2l2. Every Monday and Thursday afternoons we get out on the campus and have a good game of Indoor. The fellows are given advice as to how to play the game correctly and fairly. Any boy who is in any way interested in indoor baseball is cordially invited to come out and have a good time with the rest of the club. LAWRENCE VARBLE.

During the term it has participated in four swimming meets: two with Principia, one with Cleveland, which we lost when they splashed in, barely aheadg and a team was entered in the Washington University Interscholastic Swimming Meet, where we took seventh place out of the ten schools entered. The Club is encouraged by their success and wishes to thank the Coach, Mr. Hausknecht, for his good services. We are endeavoring to make swimming an interscholastic sport. This would provide for a meet in which each of the five public high schools would enter a team. This meet would be held at the Washington University pool. A trophy has been promised if we are successful in establishing swimming. To the winning swimmers, R's would be presented. We invite all persons interested to attend one of our meetings, held every Thursday, and if they desire, to try out for the team or club.

The R Club is one of Roosevelt's most successful of clubs and one which only boys who have earned their R's while fighting for our school may join. The object of this club is to create new life and new enthusiasm of the student body as a whole toward athletics and to create a greater desire on the part of every boy in the school to enter some form of athletics, and to strain every effort to win new laurels for our school. lt was the intention of those forming the club that the membership be retained after graduation, and that those who had the good fortune to be eligible to membership continue their effort in after years to assist Roosevelt in maintaining its high place in athletic accomplishments. Under the leadership of Mr. lnbody and Bob Jarrett, the R Club is destined to contribute much to the school life and activities at Roosevelt.

Two Hundred Fifty-two Tum Humfred Fiflu-three BWEHH GOLF CLUB NOTES Where are all the people going? Asked l of a little lad. My dearest sir, to the golf links, Where lots of fun can be had. Here and there they were scurrying, Like breezes o'er the lagoon, The girls and fellows were hurrying, Roosevelt Golf Clubs, I presume. I strolled to size up the foursome, To watch the white pillets Hy, A wicked club that golfer wields- Socklll The ball on the green does lie. With ease of manner he stands there, With a careful eye he scans The length from the ball to the cup- A putt! ln the hole the ball lands. And on to the next hole they go, The ball is placed on the tee, A young lady hits it a mile And kind of loses it, don't you see? The caddy and the players then hunt, Till the sun in the west goes down, For the ball that was hit so hard ls doomed to lie and never be found. So you see, after all is said, fAnd done, to complete the phrasel, Good times in the Club you'll never Forget in your life long days. Fellow golfers of Roosevelt! Come up to Room 227 some Friday morning at 8:30 a. m. and meet with the girls, or, if you are a boy, go up to Room 320 some Friday after school, and score a real birdie in your golf career. Every future Glenna Collett or Bobby jones is given a chance to break par at numerous trips to the links and in matches played with other schools. Two Hundred Fifty-four Two Hundred Fifty-five GOLF CLUB SEVEN LEAGUE BOOT CLUB Moderator Mr. F. P. Rohrer OFFICERS President Carl Nations Vice-President Louis Schulte Secretary and Treasurer Orville Fruth Dear Teddy, Jr.: Gosh, but things have been dead until lately. You know l lost my Saturday job last fall, and since then my Saturdays have been awfully dull. Well, one day a few weeks ago l was talking to a friend to whom l was complaining. l showed him how l had actually evaporated from lack of exercise. My arms were about as big around as wash-poles: l had big bags under my eyes and wrinkles all over my face, and my legs were so frail that my knees clanked when l bent them. ln fact, I explained, l was feeling so small that l thought l might rattle around in a flea's bladder like a mustard seed in a bass drum. My friend just let me keep on complaining 'till I had finished, then he rolled up his sleeve, displaying an arm that would have choked a whale. l felt it, and, no kidding, it was tougher than a rhino's crust. Then he puffed up his chest. l began to think he was a magician for he sure looked like a pouter-pigeon. just about this time l became mighty curious, so l asked him how he did it. He smiled as he pulled down his sleeve as if he thought the cir- cumstance very humorous. Finally he informed me that he was a member of the Seven League Boot Club. He invited me to become a member. The next day was Friday, so, after school, l went to the meeting of the Seven League Boot Club and became a member. Today, as l write this letter, l look back upon my former self as l had been looked upon by my friend the day before l joined the Seven League Boot Club: and, too, l think l can say, not exaggerating, that l am sorry- and not from a sense of pity-that Delilah sheared Samson's locks, for l believe l could successfully defy him, and should like to try it. ln fact, l must, in writing this letter, use a soft lead pencil lest l punch a hole in the desk. Now, Teddy, l want you to come up to Roorri IO9 after school next Friday and, if you are not already a member, join the Seven League Boot Club. This Club is organized for the benefit of boys who love the outdoors for its beauty and offerings of health.

At last we have succeeded in organizing a club for the benefit of those interested in hiking. just think of it! Whether you are a New-Jay or a noble Senior, you are entitled to membership. Short business meetings are held every Wednesday in 233 to decide where the hike for the following Saturday will be. But, Oh-oh! That hike on Saturday! Weren't there loads of signs of spring? There was the Yellow Flincher, the Blue Bird, the little green buds, the freshly plowed Helds, and the violets along the wayside, and that little gurgling brook! It was keen sport to hike along the open road, then across fields, and through woods until we finally stopped for lunch beside the stream. And oh-that lunch! Why, no finer meal was ever set before a king! Then came the journey home at twilight, singing as we came. Tired? Yes, but oh-oh, ever so happy. Tramping through the woods, Saturdays so gay, Down the silver road, Singing all the way. Cameras clinging close, Weiners for the roast: Oh, what fun it is to hike, The Wayfarers-a toast! BEATRICE.

So it is with many diplomas which young people study for months, or years, to attain. Because the young people have not been taught how to apply the knowl- edge these diplomas represent: or because there is no delinite cash-payment demand for that knowledge. A diploma from BROWN'S has a real cash value, because it signifies that its owner has the training business employers are willing to pay well for. Its first dividend is a good position.
