BWZJNH THOROUGI-IN ESS T IS somewhat strange that in all the varied experiences of life we are prone to overlook more than we should the value of the trait known as thoroughness, which is an undoubted factor or element of success. It is true that abilities or talents may make a dazzling showing for a timeg definite and comprehensive training can and does stand us in good steady but in the end it is thoroughness that proves itself to be Uthe fabled tortoise in the race and is, in fact, one of the secrets of real greatness. The records of history indicate very clearly and forcefully that those who have gained distinction have been the men and women who have done one thing well. Temporary defeat or discouragement has never turned them aside from the successful accomplishment of their purpose. If the late Thomas Edison had a motto, it must have been, This one thing I know-electricity. There is no doubt whatever that it was through persistence and continued effort that this wizard of the laboratory was enabled to procure over a thousand patents and thus fairly revolutionize modern living. As we all know, very many of the conveniences or comforts that we enjoy today have been the outcome of Edisonis painstaking efforts and of the long vigils through which he patiently labored. This man did not belong to the class of those who ever watch the clock and meet nearly every request with a complaint. I have often wondered what would happen, if in the world of industry or science we were satisfied with sixty-five per cent efficiency. What would we think, if, in the building of Eads Bridge, about sixty years ago, those in charge of its construction had been content with even ninety-nine per cent efficiency? Many more questions of a similar type could be raised to bring home the compelling thought that we should always strive for excellence and perfection in everything that we undertake. And let us remember that the key to such success lies through thoroughness. MAYNARD M. HART QQ BVJENH MR. CHARLES AMMERMAN Assistant Principal A Seven Eigh! QQBWENE HARRY BABBITT ROBERT GRODZENSKY Mayor of Roosevelt High School ROOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOL EUGENE EXPLORERS OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER O-DAY many people seek enjoyment and pleasure aboard the excursion Steamers on the Mississippi River, but l wonder how many of them, as they gaze at the huge industrial plants which one sees along the river's shores, think of the first white men who navigated that broad stream, those courageous men who braved every hardship to know this region. Let us first consider the great work of De Soto, who died in the attempt to find fabulous Wealth in what is now Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, and Whose body was committed to the keeping of Ole Man River. De Soto, a Spaniard, commissioned by King Charles V, with a company of about seven hundred men, started from Cuba, and in May, 1539, landed in Tampa Bay, which he called Bay of the Holy Spirit. Led by untrustworthy Indian guides, the party marched through swamp lands and were confronted by all sorts of hardships, including the attacks of the hostile Indians. Finally De Sotois expedition reached the present site of Memphis, Tennessee, but still they had not found the expected cities of gold and silver. The lure of wealth drew the doomed explorers on, and the party crossed the river only to find conditions here as bad as in the land they had just quitted. De Soto, ill, at last gave up the quest and died in I542. His body was placed in a cofhn made of a hollowed tree trunk and in the dark of night was gently lowered into the depths of the great river which he had discovered. No more expeditions of this sort were undertaken until one hundred and thirty years later, when Joliet and Marquette, two names which since have been inseparable, started on a perilous voyage down the Missiissippi River in several frail canoes. These men, however, were not making their voyage for the sake of worldly riches, but their chief motive was to spread Christianity among the heathen Indians. We find that, as a whole, the voyage was a suc- cess, for most of the lndians welcomed npale face Black Robe flVlarquetteJ and his companion and listened with interest to the priest's teachings. This voyage proved fatal to the frail Jesuit priest, who, although he completed the greater part of the adventure, became seriously ill and died in a little hut in the region now known as the state of Michigan. This bold venture enlight- ened white men considerably, for they no longer supposed that the Mississippi River flowed into the Pacific Ocean. Therefore, let us not forget the work of these two intrepid explorers-the frail Jesuit priest and his friend. And now, last but not least, let us turn our attention toward probably the most ambitious, but most unfortunate explorer of all-LaSalle. He left France at the age of twenty-four and came to America, where, hearing Wild tales told by the Indians, he resolved to occupy, in the name of France, the land explored by Marquette and Joliet. ln I679 LaSalle, after much trouble and difficulty, was successful in launching a small vessel which was to bear him to Ten El ER MISSISSIPPI RIV E. TI-I OF OVERY DISC g. BWENH the Chicago portage. Fate seemed to be against the adventurer, however: his ship was lost, his base was taken by Indians, and he had to spend many days looking for his men. It was not until l682 that l..aSalle's canoe floated from the Illinois River onto the broad bosom of Ole Man River, but here again he met with disaster. Ice Hoes- stopped his progressg he had to search the wild region for a lost comrade, and the Indians along the river's shore were usually hostile. Early in April he reached the Gulf of Mexico, and with great ceremony claimed the great region which he had explored in the name of the King of France. Every student of American history is familiar with the next phase of LaSalle career: how he secured the help of France and intended to establish a great French empire in this country. Again fate was cruel, for his expedition, while sailing in the Gulf of Mexico, missed the mouth of the Mississippi River and was wrecked upon the shore of Texas. While trying to make his way back to Canada overland, this brave Frenchman was murdered by one of his own men, and with him died the French hope of a vast empire in America. There were, of course, in addition to those explorers already mentioned, many other men who endured great hardships and even died in the attempt to penetrate the unknown wilds of the Mississippi region, but these are the earliest known explorers.

Immortal, Perpetually Peerless, and Invincible. -William Kerchanske Term 7 . Twelve ARY, 1905 RU ARY AND FEB NU ST. LOUIS, JA AT GORGE. ICE BWEJNH THE NAME MISSISSIPPI ANY times we have uttered the name of Mississippi as the name of that great river that Winds its way past our front door, but never have we realized what this name means. The Algonquin lndians, a tribe that inhabited this part of the continent before the conquest, called it MQCH-9-Se-be', which means Great Waters, or Father of Waters. This name is very fitting, for the river is the main stem of the greatest drainage system in North America. During his explorations, Cortez discovered a fork-like stream entering the Gulf of Mexico. He lost no time in making a chart of the river in I520 to send to his ruler, Charles V of Spain. He called this river Rio del Spirlliu SanCl'O fRiver of the Holy Ghostl. As far as We know the maker of the maps indicated the river on hearsay-for there were stories afloat of mighty streams and monsters, cities of gold and precious jewels, man-eating trees, and men like gods. Long before De Soto invaded the shores of this great river, Cabeza de Vaca, a Spanish explorer, came across the stream while sailing along the Gulf of Mexico at about ninety degrees longitude off the coast of Louisiana. The intrepid De Soto on his perilous march up the continent from Florida with his splendid army discovered the Mississippi in l54l. He called it Rio Grande. He died soon after his discovery, his body was consigned to the swift current of the river he had discovered. Garcillasso lived to write an account of De Soto. He called the stream Chucagua although it was later found that this was the early name given to the Ohio River. Ortelios made a chart of the interior course of the riverg it was the first of its kind. Explorers of later years that came upon the river called it by various names such as Chucagua, Canaveral, and Rio de las Flores. Penalosa, the Spanish governor of New Mexico, made a map in which he indicated the stream as Ml'Chz'pi, This was the pronunciation he obtained on a visit among the Quivera lndians who were not of Algonquin stock. ln rambling through volumes of the Jesuit Relations which were edited by Thwaits, you will find that Allouez, the Jesuit missionary, is credited with using the word Ml'SS'l'SSl'ppl' for the first time by priest or pioneer. The Spanish explorers gave the river names such as Palisado because of the logs seen floating clown stream from time to time. Escondido is another designation because they found the course of the river was so dilfcult to follow. The French called it after their patron saint, St. Louis, -after their renowned Baude and after their great statesman Colbert. ltasco is the Latin for true head, which is the name of the lake from which the stream starts its journey through the fertile valley of the Mississippi. The name Mississippi was given to the river by the lndians and it is this name which holds true to the present day. lt comes easily to the lips and in its very sound seems to give us a picture of the mighty river, rushing ever onward towards the Mexican Gulff' ROBERT MARTINEZ Fourteen WHARF AT VICKSBURG, MISSISSIPPI BWENH SNAGBOATS ON THE MISSISSIPPI UNSET! The glories of a summer sky are reflected in the placid and limpid surface of the Father of Waters. Over land and water the hush of early evening has descendedg all Nature is basking in the glories of a river sunset. A low, sullen boom! All is again still, but a drama of special significance is being enacted before the startled eyes of the watcher. Great Heecy, white clouds of smoke, and licking, angry tongues of fire suddenly arise from an old river steamer, long abandoned, lying half in, half out, of Ol' Man River. What a picture, painted on a background of exquisite coloring and beauty! . - This seeming drama is one - ' E 5 p M often enacted by the crews of the 12' .5 4 A two Government-owned and op- 'f.. K . gerated snagboats, the Horatio G. D g 1 J ,I g Wright and the John N. Macomb. 5 fin fl lts meaning is obvious to those i t ig i -it t , A 5: ' 'i Iinitiated into the mysteries of I wi eiirxf pu c f : J Q V, . ll p A. snaggmg. The Verne Swan, an k .i., Q XL old steamer, struck a snag in the river and sank. For many years it lay there, buffeted by winds and storms, shifting its position but slightly. This summer the snagboat Macomb was ordered to remove the Wreck from the river. The crew boarded her, saturated the contents of the cabins with kerosene, and set them on fire. After the exposed part had burned, the remains were blown to bits by dynamite placed in the submerged hull. Thus the obstructed passage was cleared. This duty is but one of the many performed by the snagboats. They patrol the river at its lower stages, from August to February of the following year, and during this period remove from the river approximately fifteen hundred snags and wrecks. The wrecks, such as the one just described, are steamers and barges that have sunk through being pierced and battered by snags, or perhaps by storms, though the latter cause is comparatively less frequent. Every year thousands of acres of trees fall into the river, due to the erosive power of the current. During the space of the year many changes take place, both in the course of the river, and in the channel. The change in the channel is due to the shifting of sand on the river bed, and changes occur in the course on account of the constant beating of the current against the banks on both sides. Especially do the latter changes occur when the river is in a flood, for then the water goes on its way with many a rush and roar. Consequently, when the current eats in at a certain spot, all the trees Within its reach fall Sixteen UNITED STATES SNAG BOAT EWEINH into the water and become snags. Often these are full-grown trees, some eighty or ninety feet in length, and two or three feet in diameter. Of course, these are a great menace to all steamers. J gl' Recently, a rather unusual piece of work was done L on the Mississippi a short distance from St. Louis, much publicity was given to it. Over fifty years if 'sn-f'f?'f' ago a huge span of a railroad bridge across the - it river fell while a long string of freight cars was i'Pi 3 S' ,fi passing over it. The railroad company immediately .j -'ai- removed that part of the debris that showed above . ,Lf li the water, but there still remained a large amount Q A ,QQ-siiggg-t,,gN'fg3,, , of it below the surface. Consequently, it obstructed wr 13 wx.. . S rs., f Li the channel and proved to be dangerous to all boats e ggs if passing through. At length, the snagboat Wfllght iiigg was ordered up river to clear the channel at this W 'ii i spot. It spent many weeks at this task. Great masses of iron, the remains of the cars, and various other obstacles were removed in this manner: huge chains were passed by divers around the obstacle and made fast, the snagboat was then steered back and forth over the place, until the obstruction was freed from the river bed. Then the wreckage was dragged up stream a short distance and dumped into a large hole in the bed. The two snagboats, the Wrl'ght and the Macomb, are built similarly to other river steamers, except in regard to the position of the engine room, and the construction of the hull. There is a twin hull on each of the boatsg the ordinary boat has one. Snags are caught in between the two prongs of the twin hull. The machinery in the engine room is all placed forward, instead of farther back, because the snags come in at the front, and the apparatus used for this task must be coupled to the engine. In all other respects, however, the snagboats are like most of the present- day river steamers. The Wright and Macomb are both sidewheelers of prac- tically the same dimensions and equal power as follows: Length: 80 feet. Beam fhullys- 62 feet. Beam foveralllz 92 feet. Draft: 4M feet. Boilers flVlississippi typelz 5 feet. Engines: 600 horsepower. Snagging appliances: 600 horsepower. Eighteen BROWN? The cabin arrangements, the dining room, and the pilot house all are similar to those on the river steamers. Comfort is the main idea on snagboats and the meals served are like those offered by large hotels. The two snagboats are operated under an act of Congress passed in 188 7. An annual appropriation of Sl00,000.00 is made, and this sum is divided, half going to each boat. Each one has a certain route. The Wrz'ght operates from Cairo upstream, and the Macomb from Cairo to New Orleans. Much work is done yearly by them. Recently, however, United States engineers have protected the river banks with dykes, and with mats made of willows and concrete, so that now the duties are less onerous. This does not mean, though, that there is much rest for the boats and their crews. Day after day, year after year, Ol' Man River rolls on toward the sea, and as long as he persists in his Whimsical way of changing his course, the snagboats and dredges will continue to keep the channel open for river steamers. THELMA HOLLOWELL THE RIVER Thru ages and ages of history untold, The river has flowed with prideg The river knows more than any man, But silently flows by my side. Thru the seasons that come and go, Summer blooms, fades, and is gone, Autumn with its golden leaves, winter with its snow, All passg the river goes on and on. Thru all our earthly stress and strife, Our worries that come and are gone, Whi'le we grow and pass thru life The river flows on and on. To me the birds would never sing And flowers would never growg The moon and sun would never shine, Should the river cease to flow. -Charles Noble Term 8 'Wzfiiiiiiini nnnsmgg.. 7, iii- -qge Nineteen EUJZINH A RIVER OF CHANGES IKE a mighty oak with its branches extending in many directions, the Mississippi, even as treacherous as it is, has a hidden power which has lured people to love and respect it down through the ages. From a quiet rolling river it has time and time again changed itself into a terrifying demon. Rising from its bed and angrily overflowing its banks, it has often wrecked and desolated the surrounding country, only to return gradually to its course. For over two centuries, man has tried to control this mighty monarch of rivers but has failed. 'il take what l need and so abideth by this, all ye that come within my bounds is the law which the river expects man to obey. Roll on, Mississippi, roll on! That is what she has been doing for the last hundreds of centuries. Several small streamlets trickle from the foot of a mountain, converge, and form a small stream about a foot and a half wide and not more than a foot deep. This small stream, commonly known as 1 mb M g l the infant Mississippi, slowly hunts its way over rocks and gullies, and enters, from fifteen to twenty feet wide and two to K 2 three feet deep, into the southern end of Lake ltasca. Lake Itasca, a clear lake L A JA . fed by five creeks, lies approximately l330 miles from the mouth of the Missis- sippi and l680 feet above sea level. The lake, nearly seven miles long and three miles wide, has an important outlet on its northern shore. This important outlet is the Mississippi, twelve feet broad and twelve to eighteen inches deep. After flowing for several miles through a series of rapids and small falls and broadening out to nearly one hundred and fifty feet, it enters the southern end of Lac Travers, which reaches out ten to twelve miles in length. But the Mississippi must go on. So flowing from the east end of Lac Travers it turns toward its southern route. Continuing onward through many rapids and two more lakes, it then listlessly flows for nearly fifty miles through a section of country that is covered by very tall grass. It is then that the Mississippi meets its first companion, the Leech River. But on and on it rolls, gathering depth and width as it glides southward to the Gulf. Many, many years ago the Mississippi did not pour its waters into the Gulf. lnstead, it emptied into a large lake which covered nearly H00 square miles centering around the region now known as Cape Girardeau.

After some years of silt depositing and log clogging, the Atchafalaya River became choked. Conse- quently, since water continued to flow in and not out, the lake overflowed its southern banks and the water picked its course southward until it reached the Gulf. This became the lower end of the Mississippi. Gradually the lower river drained this lake leaving just a small strip of water connecting the two parts of the river. just as the river underwent many physical changes years ago, so it is under- going them even to-day. Experiments show that originally the mouth of the river was probably situated near Plaquemine, a town about two hundred and twenty miles north of the present mouth. It has been advancing like this at the rate of two hundred sixty-two feet a year, which means that, in round numbers, the mouth of the river has been four thousand years in reaching the point where it now lies. The river, unsatisfied, is constantly changing its course. ln many cases a bank is underlaid by a layer of sandg the river in rounding a bend will throw its main stream against this sand and gradually wash it out, thus causing the bank to cave in. Ofter the current of the river shifts from one side to the other carrying sediment with it and depositing it on that side, thus changing the channel and sometimes making it difficult for navigation. The Mississippi has shortened its course eighty miles by means of cut-offs. Cut-offs occur in places where the river has a bend shaped such as an U. Gradually the strip of land formed by the bend becomes narrower. Finally the river washes away the land and flows through the opening, abandoning the old course. ln time the upper and lower mouths of the old course became clogged, and a crescent lake is formed. A great number of these lakes are found in the south. From Cape Girardeau, it is 600 miles to the Gulf, but the river from this point to the Gulf is l l I5 miles long, due to its many bends. These changes are made sometimes within centuries and sometimes within hours. The mouth has taken years of silt depositing. Assuming that the mouth advanced many years ago under practically the same conditions and at the same rate as it does to-day, which is two hundred sixty-two feet per year, and having advanced nearly two hundred twenty miles means that it has taken nearly four thousand years to do this. The course is often changed within a short time by just a slight shift in the current which will pile silt on one bank and remove it from the other. Cut-offs may result within a few hours, for when the narrow strip of land between the bends gives way, the river immediately takes the new course. The Mississippi very often undergoes a yearly change. Floods come. Many of their causes are known, but many still remain mysteries, for the Mississippi is a river sul' generisf' Early in the spring the melted snow from the Allegheny Mountains swells the Ohio and its tributaries, which in turn cause the Mississippi to rise: this increase is called the Spring Rise. Then Twenty-two BWZINE from the Rockies comes the June Rise by Way of the Missouri and its tribu- taries. The June Rise often enters the Mississippi before the Spring Rise has subsided. In that case, since more water flows in than the Mississippi can carry down, the river overflows its banks. During these flooded seasons levees break under the great pressure of water. Sand boils, which are the seeping of water from the river through the levee many feet below the surface, are often causes for levees breaking. This water rises to the surface of the ground and begins spreading over the land. The crack formed by the seepage becomes bigger and bigger until finally the levee gives way. Even the boring of many crawfish in levees has often caused them to break. The money that is spent and the lives that are lost during the Hoods run up to a vast number. Many suggestions of prevention of floods have been given, some far too expensive to be carried out. Re-forest the mountains to prevent Spring and June Rises. Build dams to hold back the water during Hoodsg they can pay their own expenses by being used for generating electricity. Build higher levees. Straighten the channel. Cries of prevention like these are con- stantly heard from the people wanting, needing, and even demanding Hood control. Colonel Robert lsham Randolph, a flood engineer, states: When government lands were plentiful, the thousands of people who were driven from their homes should not have been permitted to return to them, but should have been given farms elsewhere. The bottom lands should have been returned to the river and used only for grazing or fish and game preserves, thus leaving them open to absorb the surplus Hood water. The trouble with the river is that men have attempted to settle the bottom lands before Nature finished making them. Let alone, the river would have kept on depositing silt in the bottoms until they were built up in vast savannas as high as the highest flood, and the river would have dug itself deep in its own channel and stayed there. But all of these Hoods of the Mississippi are nothing more than masks which at times try to hide many of the good qualities of the river. Let us not condemn Ol' Man River by saying it has been a hindrance, because it has been a blessing. Because it has opened a path to the ocean, it has connected the West with the rest of the world. Down through the ages, it has been a source of romance and a means of commerce and pleasure. We are greatly indebted to Ol' Man River. GERALD COWAN Twenty-three EWEHH WHEN OL' MAN RIVER WENT TO WAR HE Mississippi River, whose beauty had inspired the lndian, whose course had guided the pioneer, and whose commerce had slowly made it the center of the West, was turned, by the advent of war, into a highway over which the sinews of war were trans- ported. The gay passenger steamers were laden with troops and war supplies. ln the past these popular boats had steamed down the great river serenely and majestically, but with the coming of war, boats on the Mississippi were unsafeg at almost every bluff they would be fired upon, then captured, looted, and burned by the Confederates. The White Packets, which had made the river so picturesque, were replaced by armored gunboats with bare sides pierced by cannons. The side-wheeler steamers were made unsightly by barricades of timber and cotton bales. lronclads, carrying ammunition, horses, and men replaced the freight steamer and ruined the commerce on the river. The trade, which was destroyed by the war, had not risen to its height in a few years. Back in I679 commerce began on the Mississippi when the schooner, The Griffin, transported goods between two settlements on the upper river. ln I 778 Captain Willing, an agent of the Continental Army, took two flatboats of products to New Orleans, exchanged them for arms and ammu- nition, and then returned to Fort Pitt. The settlers went down the river in small crafts, rude arks, keel boats, barges, and sea-going vessels to find a market for their goods. It was not, however, until after ISII that trade increased enormously. ln that year Robert Fulton and James Livingston constructed a steamboat, the New Qrleans, at Pittsburgh, which traveled down the Mississippi River to New Orleans. Within ten years, thirty steamers had been built in Pittsburgh, and all the important cities on the Mississippi were engaged in ship building. Steamboat traffic grew very rapidly and exceeded that on the Atlantic Coast. By l840 the steamboat had reached its height. Not only were gay parties held on the Showboats, but also numerous freight steamers plied up and down the stream, carrying products from one city to another. This glory was short-lived, for in two years the railroads came into use and competed with the boats: and a year later war was declared. At the beginning of hostilities, the United States government realized the importance of controlling the Mississippi. It was the great highway to the sea and afforded a ready means of transportation for troops and supplies. The river divided the east and west sections of the Confederacy, and to split the South was the aim of the Union. The Federals could not let the river remain in the hands of the Confederates. This war was to be the first impor- tant conflict in which steam was the motive power of ships. Much of the warfare would be on the river, for the North wanted to keep the Mississippi open. This necessitated an Inland Navy for which the War department con- Twenty-four EIN 1840 E LEV UIS LO ST. E TH 138.7215 El structed a fleet of seven gunboats and a year later added two new types of vessels, the tin-clad and another vessel which had superior power and speed. With this squadron the government hoped to control the river. The Union fleet planned to enter the Mississippi from the sea and Work up the river in connection with the land forces, taking possession of the cities and forts which commanded navigation. At the same time a force from the north would be coming down the river to keep apart the eastern states in rebellion from the western. The entire southern coast from the Rio Grande River to Florida was to be blockaded by ships which would anchor in the harbors, if possible, and keep out the necessaries of life. In following the plan of moving up the river, the first important forts to control were Forts Jackson and St. Philip. The Confederacy had fortified all the cities on the bluffs, and the Union was attempting to take them and control the river. These forts were near the Plaquemine Bend, a sharp bend about sixty miles south of New Orleans, and therefore they were the first to be attacked. Fort Jackson was on the north bank, and Fort St. Philip, across the river. St. Philip was the fort properg and Fort Jackson, its auxiliary. Both forts were treeless, and there was no shelter from observation. The Con- federacy had few cannons and gunboats, and these two forts were guarded by only four Vessels, while the complete fleet consisted of seventeen ironclads. In addition to the lack of vessels, there also was a lack of food and guns at the forts. This resulted in a mutiny, which could not be subdued, the muti- neers finally deserted their posts. The Union was more fortunate, however, for she had a strong leader in Admiral Farragut, and her squadron consisted of forty-six ships, two hundred and eighty-six guns, and twenty-one mortars. The Confederacy had the advantageous position, but the Union had more ships, more guns, and better discipline. With confidence in its large fleet and its commander, the squadron moved slowly up the river and bombarded the forts for eight days. Several of the gunboats anchored across the river, another group rested below the forts, and the mortars were placed with precision in a line ahead. Within two days the bombardment had begun. The mortars fired for days without avail. Admiral Farragut realized the impossibility of gaining the forts by mortar, so he ordered the ships to go up the river. The fleet started but found a line had been placed across the river. The Federals attempted for months to cross the blockade, but it was not until the spring of l862, when one-third of the line was carried away, that the Pinola' succeeded in crossing. The entire fleet followed her, and soon the forts were in Union hands. This was the first important victory of the Union on the river. K After the surrender of the forts, the fleet steamed up the river to New Orleans and forced it to surrender. The citizens of New Orleans had con- fidence in the Confederate force under Colonel Lovell even after the forts had fallen, but the Federals now had the advantageous position and quickly Twenty-six steamed up the river to New Orleans to find everything in confusion. It had had no food for two days, ships, cotton, and coal were ablaze. Commander Porter sent a demand for surrender. General Duncan refused, so the Union troops landed and seized the guards. The planters refused to fight, to avoid humiliation, General Duncan accepted the surrender. Commander Porter, General Duncan, and several officers went aboard Porter's flagship to arrange the terms. During the conference, the Confederates fired the Louisiana and let it drift down the river to the Union fleet. Fortunately, it exploded before it had reached its destination. The surrender of New Orleans was the wedge to open the river for the Union cause. Admiral Porter, after the fall of New Orleans, played a trick on the South which will long be remembered. He prepared a long raft to simulate a large and heavily armed ironclad. The raft carried casements with dangerous looking wooden cannons and two smokestacks made of hogsheacls. Large iron pots of burning tar provided for smoke. On the raft were two large pilot houses decorated with the legend, Deluded rebels, cave in. A United States flag flew aft and a skull and bones forward. ln the dark of night this sham gunboat was pushed into the current to float to Vicksburg. From the fortified cities on the bluffs signal lights flashed, cannons boomed, and in a few minutes all the defence was firing on the giant craftg but this wonderfully built warship went steadily down the stream, not returning a shot. At War- renton, it was caught by the eddy, but luckily some Union sailors unfastened it just before the Queen Of the West., now in the hands of the Confederacy, came into view. The crew was so badly fooled that they left the Queen drift down the stream away from the oncoming menace. The crew then hurried to the Indllanola, took off her guns, and sunk her so that the ironclad could not take the ship. After several more miles of drifting, the dummy was sunk, but the Indianola was never raised. The sailor's ruse had done its work. Porter had played this trick to put fear into the citizens of Vicksburg. It was the last fort to fall, and its surrender opened the navigation on the Mississippi for the North. Lincoln, aware of the importance of Vicksburg and the control of the Mississippi River, said, We may take all the northern parts of the Confederacy, and they can still defy us from Vicksburg. It means hog and hominy without limit, fresh troops from all the states of the far South, and a cotton country where they can raise the stables without interference. The navy tried to capture the city on numerous occasions. Admiral Farragut tried but found that his smooth-bore guns could not reach the bluffs. Then Colonel Ellet and his ramming crew attempted and failed. The Confederacy felt that the fate of Vicksburg would bring down Port Hudson, have the Mississippi open, and sever the East and West: so it placed every available man on the banks to cut off supplies going to the North. This was unsuccessful, and finally on July 4, 1863, Vicksburg surrendered. There had been no sur- prises, no brilliant tactics, but a slow wearing down process. Vicksburg was Twenty-seven EUJENE isolated, starved: it held out until all hope was gone. Then General Pemberton surrendered to an army under Grant. The service of the navy during the siege was keeping open the communications, which were entirely by water. Fighting did not cease with the fall of Vicksburg, but its surrender was the turning point of the war. After the war, the river traffic decreased. The railroad was replacing the steamboat. For many years the railroad had been developing land transpor- tation, and commerce on the river had been declining: today the river traffic is coming into its own again. The government is building an Inland Waterway System, which is to be nine thousand miles of connected Waterway: six thousand miles will be laterals and fifteen hundred miles trunk line. The system will join Pittsburgh, Chicago, Minneapolis and St. Paul, St. Louis, Kansas City, and New Orleans. This improvement will give millions of people in the heart of the agricultural country cheap transportation. It will give inland cities direct transportation to the sea. What a future have the cities on the Mississippi River and its tributaries!

LEE AND THE NATCHEZ Saint Louis, Missouri, July 5, I870 Dear Armand: Well, old chap, here I am! After all those days of Waiting I can hardly realize that the big race is over and the Robert E. Lee, with me as a passenger, beat out the Natchez in that long twelve hundred mile grind from New Orleans up here to St. Louis. Those were the longest twelve hundred miles I have ever traveled, it seems, and we were so hard pressed by the Natchez that until after we had passed Cairo, the result was in doubt. I suppose you remember how I happened to take the trip on the Robert E. Lee. Captain W. Cannon is an old friend of my father's and when Dad asked permission for me to go along and Captain Cannon consented, from then until the day we left I was in a frenzy of excitement. I was envied by all the neighbors, because the only other passengers besides the crew were a few important personages who were guests of Captain Cannon. We had rather an advantage over the Natchez, commanded by Thomas P. Leather, because we carried neither passengers nor freight, and Captain Cannon, with happy forethought, had arranged for a tender to supply the Lee with fuel at various points along the course of the race. The Natchez, on the other hand, had made practically no preparation for the raceg it carried several tons of freight beside a passenger list which amounted to four thousand dollars in fares. You will recall how we pulled out from the wharf at one minute of five o'clock, four days ago, on June 30, followed after a four minute interval by the Natchez, amid the most thunderous cheering that the city of New Orleans has ever heard and steamed up the river, facing a trip of more than one thousand miles up the Crreat Father of Waters. Remember how dissimilar the two boats appeared? The Natchez seemed the very acme of grace and perfection in steamboats, while the Lee was a huge, bulky craft which lumbered along like a turtle. Appearances are deceiv- ing, evidently, as the result of the race indicates. Once we were well under way, Captain Cannon ordered all superfluous material heaved overboard, so over went the cabin doors and windows, and the wheelhouses were ripped off and used for fuel. We kept gaining, and at Memphis were an hour and ten minutes ahead of the Natchez. So great was the interest shown at Memphis that all the merchants closed their shops and the whole town gathered on the river banks to exchange verbal sallies with those on the rival steamboats as they passed. Speculation was rife as to the ultimate winner and there was lively betting all over the world: Paris, London, and Vienna, reporting the heaviest foreign wagering. It was said that in some of the largest cities in the United States Twenty-nine QQBWZIHH THE RACE BETWEEN THE NATCHEZ AND THE ROBERT E.

Mississippi, to me you seem To be one long living dream Whose whistling waves forget the past As onward you slowly flow.

We were hours ahead when we reached Cairo and had but a short distance to go. We were skeptical of the reports that the NatCheZ had been forced to stop twice on account of fog and engine troubleg and the stokers were never allowed a letdown from the furious rate at which they had been stuffing fuel into the Leeis gigantic boilers. A little before noon yesterday morning, the Fourth of July, the Lee steamed steadily onward upto St. Louis between shores that were crowded as they had never been before to greet the champion of all champions in the greatest race which had ever been run on the Mississippi. At l l :25 on the morning of July 4, the Robert E. Lee had accomplished her remarkable feat-negotiating the twelve hundred miles in three days, eighteen hours and fourteen minutes. With the holiday spirit already prevailing, the arrival of the Lee' instilled a wild enthusiasm into the St. Louisans and there was revelry all along the levee until late that night. The Natchez puffed up to the dock at six o'clock that evening, for the numerous repairs necessary had delayed her progress a great deal. Her time was three days, twenty-one hours and fifty-eight minutes, exclusive of time lost due to machinery repairs and to fog. The captains of both boats were awarded medals at a testimonial dinner last night and numerous toasts were offered to the two best steamboats, the best captains, and the best crews on the Mississippi. I shall furnish you with further details of the race when I return, for in one letter l cannot give you a full account of this exhilarating, record-breaking voyage that has given me the greatest thrill of my life.

I, the Father of Waters, Laugh at death! -William Kerchanske Term 7 Thirty-one EWENH OR days there had been posters in the little river town. Trades- people, children, negroes, all had eagerly gathered to read them, thrilled by the knowledge that soon the show boat would come with its cargo of troupers and musicians, who were symbolic of the outside World. At last the show boat arrived: its approach heralded by the shrill calliope long before the barge, pushed by the steamer, came into sight. A large crowd of villagers was gathered at the levee to see the boat dock. Late in the morning the band, which was composed of half a dozen versatile members of the crew and the company, marched through the town, gorgeous in their jackets trimmed with gold braid and brass buttons. They stopped in the center of the town, and there the captain addressed the crowd, telling of the evening's entertainment and praising the talent of the players. Handbills were distributed further to advertise the performance. During the day the troupers might stroll about the town. The villagers eyed with much curiosity and some disapproval the unconventional play- actors, who, nevertheless, seemed glamorous and romantic figures. Kerosene torches were stuck in the river banks to light the way for the crowds who came down to the show boat that night. The auditorium seated about 5005 up in the balcony where it was cheaper sat the negroes, while the white people sat downstairs. At last the performance began. Kentucky Sue was the play billed for the night. It was an old favorite and many of the villagers knew what lines were coming before the actors spoke them. After the play was given, the majority of the audience bought fifteen-cent tickets for the concert which followed. This consisted of song-and-dance numbers given by the troupers. When this entertainment came to an end, the people straggled out, loathe to leave. In the morning the show boat left again on its way to the next town. There it might stop for several days or even a week if the attendance merited this, yet it might stay just one night. Down the Mississippi in the spring, up to Minnesota and then up the Ohio to Pennsylvania in the fall, went the show boat. It was an adventurous life the players led, yet filled with hard Work of learning their lines and rehearsing. A troupe was composed of about eight players, none of them excellent, who divided among them the parts of all the plays in their repertoire. The juvenile lead and the ingenue were always cast as the hero and the heroine, there was a character team who took the parts of the villain and of the older sister or foil, there was a team that took Various older roles, and there were several men who took any remaining parts. The plays enacted were usually quite melodramatic, but they satisfied their audiences. Many of the villagers knew nothing of the regular theater, and Thirty-two THE BELLE MEMPHIS BWZNH would never have seen a play but for the show boats. The enchantment and romance of the plays made the people forget the clrudgeries of their everyday lives. The first show boat set off down the Cumberland River in 1817. Since then many of its kind have had picturesque places in the lives of those who live along the Mississippi and its tributaries. Now there are show boats of a different kind. These are the ocean steamers on which lavish entertainment is planned for the pleasure-loving people who take short cruises aboard them. But these are not the real show boats. They were those barges that traveled leisurely up and down the Mississippi to play and delight the people of the towns along the way. HELEN MARDORF BWEHH CHAIN OF ROCKS OME forty-five years ago a writer remarked that St. Louis had only two claims to fame. It had a car-line that gave the longest trip of any car-line in the country for only a nickel, and it had the dirtiest drinking water in the world. Today, if this same writer were living, he would have to increase his list of St. Louis claims to fame, and he would also have to make a correction in his original list. The correction would apply to the drinking water of St. Louis which, today, is an asset, though once it was a liability. People from every 5 1 part of the country, even i from other countries, come here to see, not the dirtiest ' water in the world, but the ' ' K cleanest. ' 's Q The system of purifica- I tion is elaborate, requiring the water to go through 1 many processes. From the intakes, the Water is pumped to the mixing conduit where , a mixture of lime and iron, prepared in the Coagulant House, is added for the purpose of softening the water and coagulating the small particles. It is then sent to the settling basins. There are nine of these and it takes thirty-four hours for the water to pass from the first to the last. Aluminum of sulphate is added in Basin 9 to hasten coagu- lation. - This brings us to the Fil- ter Plant, which is the last, and, perhaps the most important, part of the system. It is 800 feet long and the longest of its kind in the world. At first glance it appears to be nothing but a row of basins, for the house is divided into four parts and each part into ten basins. Near each is a desk on which is a chart which records the amount of water being filtered and the amount of mud accumulating. There is also a small fountain from which samples of the filtered water are taken. If something is found to be wrong, Thirty-five BVJEHE the basin from which the water was taken is isolated, that is, the water from that basin is shut off, and the fault found and corrected. Each basin has a capacity of 5,000,000 gallons of water a day and at the bottom of each is the reason for the name filter plant. just before the water flow out by means of pipes, there is a six-inch layer of large gravel. This is used to hold up a six-inch layer of small gravel, which in turn supports thirty inches of sand. It is the sand which prevents the small matter and most of the bacteria which have escaped previous treatments from continuing in the water. Chlorine, added as the Water leaves the plant, is used to destroy the bacteria altogether. The filter basins, as well as the settling basins, have to be cleaned, but by a different method. When the chart shows that a certain amount of mud has collected on the sand, the basin is drained. Water is then forced back through the pipes, gravel, and sand at the rate of 24,000 gallons a minute. This causes the mud to be lifted from the sand and carried off by means of gutters which cross the basins about mid-Way down the sides and which are opened to permit the flow of water. It is then taken to the river below the intakes and discharged. That is all that is done in the filter plant. The whole process is very simple in theory but complicated when it comes to the actual work. We people of St. Louis do not begin to realize how great is our water supply and usually neglect learning about it. l once made a remark to the foreman at the Chain of Rocks to the effect that l was glad l lived in St. Louis. He looked at me and said in a surprised tone, Oh, do you live in St. Louis? And when l asked him why he wanted to know, he answered that most of the people who inquired about the plant were from other cities! SOPHIE ROGUSKI 1 Thirty-six BVJZINE FREDERICK OAKES SYLVESTER HEN one desires to hear perfection in music's art, the classical symphonic orchestra is the source wherein this desire is satisfied. A similar comparison may be drawn in connection with the great river which flows eternally at our city gates, the majes- tically broad Mississippi. When one desires to see and appreciate the beauty and grandeur of the Great River, one immediately turns to view with greatest satisfaction the work of Frederick Oakes Sylvester, who faithfully portrayed the Great River he loved, in all the beauty and grandeur, which the casual observer, who sees only a large body of muddy water, would idly overlook. But to Frederick Oakes Sylvester, great artist and equally famous poet, there was a rare quality of romantic attraction to the Great River, which he soulfully expressed in his poems per- taining to it: an admirable example of his insight is in these lines: The river is grimed and gray. But I have seen a crown of gold On its head at close of day. One who hears expressions of such deep feeling for the Great River immediately infers that Mr. Sylvester lived his life from boyhood on the Mississippi, however, Frederick Oakes Sylvester was born in Brockton, Massa- chusetts, October 8, l869. It was there that he received his early education and lived until his family moved to Fall River, Massachusetts, in 1882. He pursued his artistic inclinations, and in I890 he graduated from the Massa- chusetts Art School, of Boston. ln 1891 he became director of the H. Sophie Newcomb College, a branch of Tulane University of New Orleans. At New Orleans he first came under the spell of the river and began to make it a chief subject in his numerous poems and canvasses. At first, he painted only waterfront scenes, such as the levee, warehouses, bridges and other works of man. But in l892 he entered the St. Louis High and Normal School fnow known as Central High Schooll as an art instructor. For seventeen years he remained at Central, later becoming director of the art department. He became prominent in artist circles in St. Louis, holding membership in such associations as the Society of Western Artists, in which he served as vice-president in l906, and the St. Louis Artists Guild, of which he was president in l909- l 0. At the World's Fair of l904 he was awarded a silver medal on his artistic contribution to the Art Exhibit there. He also won a bronze medal at the Portland Exhibition in l907, and the Fine Arts Building prize offered by the Society of Western Artists in l907. Meanwhile he purchased ground for a home on the bluffs at Elsah, Illinois. Once while on an outing he had stood upon these bluffs and gazed upon the Thirty-seven BVJEINH junction of the lllinois, Missouri and Mississippi rivers, and to the inspirations he had received while viewing this magnificent work of Nature, many of his later paintings were due. Most of his famous paintings of the Great River were painted from the bluffs of Elsah. Sylvester loved best the hour of twilight on the river, and it was then he pictured numerous river scenes and wrote many beautiful poems about the Mississippi. Perhaps the best known of his works to the public is a volume of his poems, which is illustrated by his picture, known as The Great River. To him the charm of the river was in every wooded bluff and every rolling meadow. He achieved wide renown as the painter of the Great River, for he had called attention to unknown beauties of the Mississippi. But at the height of his career, when he was but forty-five years of age, his health, never robust, began to fail: he had contracted a severe cold which gradually infected his lungs. ln March, l9l 5, he succumbed quietly to his disease and left behind him a host of mourning friends and relatives. His last act before his death indicated that his affection for the Great River was still untouched even in the bitterness of death. Before his friends knew that his affliction would be fatal fhe had known, but kept his knowledge secret, he exacted a solemn promise from his wife and children that upon his death his body was to be cremated and his ashes cast upon the bosom of the great Mississippi. And so, at the hour he had loved best, at twilight, one evening after the funeral, his ashes were gently strewn on the Great River. HANFORD EDSALL TO THE MISSISSIPPI On and on like a thundering herd, Planges the Mississippi with mighty surge, Its muddy waters, dark with rage, Rumble, and roar like a lion encaged. The wind is strong, and torrents of rain Pour from the heavens in loud acclaim. A mist now slowly drops from high, Gray is the river, and black the sky, But, ah! at last it slowly lifts, No rain, no fog, just peace and bliss. The sullen sky now fills with blue, The rainbow has a lovely hue The Mississippi now calmly flowsg Steady and slow it onward goes. -Ruth Murphy Term 4 Thirty-eight EUJENR THE GREAT FLOOD OF 1927 I-IE fact that the first record of a disaster in North America was of a flood indicates the importance of these untimely occurrences. ln an account of the explorations of Hernando De Soto, in I543, we find: God, our Lord, hindered the work with a mighty flood which at that time, about the tenth of March, began to come down with an enormous increase of water. The narrator, Garcilaso de la Vega, describes vividly how it took forty days for the water to reach its peak. I-le also says that the Hood was a thing of beauty. An old lndian woman told him that the flood came only every fourteen years. This legend is false, as floods appeared in H382- 83-84 and in l9l2-l3, though none of them reached the heights of the one in l 92 7. These earlier Hoods were due mainly to the breaks in the levees, and they were again sadly in need of repair at the time of the last disaster. The region Hooded in l 92 7, which contains some ' of the most productive land in the world, extended over 28,000 square miles. The states suffering the most were Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, Missouri, Illinois, and Kentucky. While the homes of over 750,000 people were flooded, the largest losers were the factories, the public utilities, and the railroads. It has been estimated that the losses to the railroads were well over ten million dollars. Although these losses hurt everyone in the immediate districts of the flood, one of the great losses was the drowning of thousands of wild animals. This was of considerable economic significance, because hunting and trapping in these sections are still industries of importance. When, on April 22, President Coolidge made his first appeal to the nation for help, every chapter of the American Red Cross responded whole-heartedly. The press, theaters, and radio helped broadcast to the whole country the dire needs of the stricken areas. The first quota was more than fully subscribed when President Coolidge made his second appeal, which immediately brought such results from the federal, the state, and the city governments that the second quota was over-subscribed. The loss of the property and equipment of the people was enormous. Mr. Hoover was appointed by the President to make a survey of the stricken Thirty-nine BUJEINH areas, he estimated the loss at about S400,000,000. The Red Cross alone spent over 516,000,000 for relief work, while Congress voted 55,000,000 from the national treasury. The quick response of those organizations that had it in their power to help was one of the bright lights of the time. Rescue work, transportation, and the maintenance of emergency camps were hindered by the extent of the land Hooded, the slowness of the water to recede, and the unwillingness of the people to leave their homes. Since the distance from Cairo, Illinois, to New Orleans as the Mississippi Hows is over a thousand miles and at times the Hood waters were eighty miles wide, communication and transportation were in many places completely severedg in others, only the radio existed. Airplaines, trucks, boats of all descriptions, special trains, leased wire, and special radio were put at the disposal of the rescue parties. The airplanes were especially valuable as they could detect refugees in out of the way places, direct the movements of the boats, and drop supplies and medicines to helpless towns. At first the people thought that the Hood would be only another small spring rise, so they would not leave their homes when warned. This proved disastrous in very many cases. Down in the South in l927 more acts of bravery were performed every day than ever the world can possibly know about. Many medical men and nurses came from different parts of the country to help care for the stricken. While the medical aid and nursing were not so ex- tremely needed, the public health problems were stag- gering. The water supply was similar to that which bewildered Coleridge's Ancient Mariner, Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink. The water that was left when the Hood had receded soon became stagnant, and, but for the quick work of the engineers and surveyors, much malaria and typhoid would have resulted. As it was, most of the 246 deaths were due mainly to accidents, unexpected levee breaks, and drowning, not to sickness. The Red Cross camps for Hood refugees were the best that had ever been constructed. They provided drinking water, sewerage disposal, large tents for large families, clothes, food, and everything necessary for life. When the time came for the people to go back to their devastated homes, many were Forly EWZHH reluctant to leave the many friends that they had made in the miniature communities. The reconstruction work pushed itself forward as soon as the waters had recedecl. The Red Cross not only gave emergency relief but carried on reconstruction work. This provided for eight major points: seed, temporary supply of food on leaving camp, temporary feed for livestock, farm imple- ments, necessary additional livestock and poultry, building to the point of sanitary shelter, simple household furniture, and assistance to state authorities in medical and sanitary service. Without this aid the reconstruction plans would have been a failure. The assistance of the government must not be overlooked. It issued daily health and building bulletins and over the radio told the farmers when and how to plant their crops to get the best results. Floods in the future will be averted unless super-saturated conditions, greater than those of i926-27, again occur. The prime cause of the Hood was the unusually heavy rains in the fall and winter of i926 and in the spring of 192 7. All along the river, levees have been strengthened and built higher and channels deepened. For another such flood, the water will have to reach a height of over sixty feet. The government has also sent many surveyors and commissions to see that the Mississippi stays where it should stay. GEORGE STAMM ,QA-.,, ' -is r .-gag., ...f -N., -s. imfi-fi SL W' -N--.iii Forty-one BWEHE t THE LIFE AND WORK OF CAPTAIN EADS N May 23, l 820, James Buchanan Eads was born in Lawrenceburg, Indiana. Although his father was never very prosperous, young Eads went to school, and at an early age showed a liking for machinery. After living in Cincinnati for a while, the Eads family moved to Louisville: later, when Eads was thirteen, his family moved to St. Louis, where he was destined to become its leading citizen and where he was to build his famous bridge. While working as a clerk in a dry goods store, Eads borrowed and read thoroughly all the scientific books which his employer possessed. Thus, with- out any teachers, he received the fundamental principles of engineering. After five years as clerk in the dry goods store, Eads became clerk on a steamboat. ln the three years during which the young man worked on the river, he gained his knowledge of the habits of the river which influenced his whole life. When Eads was twenty-two years old, he entered into a partnership with Case and Nelson to raise sunken cargoes. His first contract was to raise a barge loaded with pig lead which had sunk in the rapids at Keokuk where the water was fifteen feet deep. His experienced diver attempted to go down but failed because of the swiftness of the river. Eads, with a diving bell made of a forty gallon hogshead, weighted with lead, went down in his improvised bell after it had been connected with the air line and derrick. When it was time to pull Eads up, the derrick refused to work. The men pulled the diving bell to the surface of the water but could pull it up no further. Eads ducked under the side of the bell and came up. With this success, he was placed in charge of a boat, and in the next few years raised so many boats that there was not a stretch of river bottom of fifty miles between St. Louis and New Orleans that Eacls had not explored in his diving bell. When he married Martha Dillon, he wanted toearn a great deal of money quickly, so he started a glass factory which failed, leaving Eads in debt to the amount of fB25,000. His creditors, however, had confidence in him and gave him SI500.00 to start raising sunken vessels again. I-le soon paid off his debts and made about a half of a million dollars to boot! During the Civil War Eads helped the Union cause very much. The United States, realizing the importance of holding the Mississippi, received the competitive bids of builders of armored boats. Eads' bid was the lowest in price and the quickest in time of delivery: sixty-four days. Naturally his bid was accepted. Two weeks after the signing of the contract, 4000 men were set to work in the foundries and machine shops of St. Louis. They worked night and day, seven days in a week, completing these boats with which Admiral Foote won his laurels at Forts Donelson and Henry and lsland Number Ten. Besides building and remodeling many boats, he perfected not a few inventions. Eads made a permanent and navigable mouth for the Mississippi. If the channel of the river were narrower the current would flow more swiftly and clean out the channel. This was accomplished by sinking thousands of willow Forty-two BUJZHH mattresses with rocks and protecting them with walls of concrete. This work Was called his jetty system. After this engineering feat, Eads's fame spread throughout the world. By far Eads' greatest work, however, was his bridge. ln l865-66, a bill was brought up in Congress for the bridging of the Mississippi at St. Louis. Dependence on ferries had become impracticable, especially when the river froze. The rival commercial routes had the bill so amended that at the time people said that the genius did not exist who could build such a bridge. The bill stated that the central span had to be over 500 feet in length and at least 50 feet above the surface of the river. Two companies were formed, one in St. Louis with Eads as its president, and one in lllinois. The lllinois company had adopted plans for a truss bridge, and had not even planned to base the piers on solid rock. Eads' company bought out the Illinois company at the end of one year's time. Steel trusses, five hundred feet long, would have to be very heavy, whereas steel arches, the same length, could be much lighterg therefore, Eads decided that his bridge would be arched with two river piers and two abutment piers. There were to be three arches, 502, 520, and 502 feet long, respectively. Experts tested samples of stone, granite, and steel. The mathematician, Chauvenet, then Chancellor of Washington University, checked over all Eads' calculations, and did not find a single error. Eads proved that at St. Louis, where the channel was so narrow and the current so swift, the pier would have to be built on bed rock. Twelve men out of the three hundred and fifty-two employed died at their Work in the caissons, air tight metal tubes inside of which were built the piers. One of the river piers was one hundred and ten feet below the sur- face of the river. Ninety feet were through gravel and sand. This being the deepest submarine work attempted, many interesting experiments were carried ony 'for example, a candle, after having been ex- tinguished, would immediately relight, due to the dense atmosphere. For the first time in any such work, the last pier sunk had telegraphic communica- Forty-three BUJENR tion with the shore: this must have been a great consolation to a laborer starting out in the dead of winter with two weeks' provision to his work in the caisson. The arches were built out from the piers without scaffolding erected from the river-once again, the first instance of an unusual proceeding. The problem of inserting the central tubes to close the arches arose. These tubes were two and one-half inches too long, although when placed they would be the right length. Eacls, who was about to leave for London on financial business, remained in St. Louis to solve the difficulty. He cut the tubes in half, and joined them with a coupling with right and left screws: just as two pieces of gas pipe are joined by a similar coupling. Then, Eads cut off the ends as the screw would make the tube any desired length. These tubes were easily handled. On July 4, 1874, the bridge was opened after having been thoroughly tested. Eads died on March 8, I887, but his bridge stands today, as it will stand as long as it is needed by man, as a lasting monument to the engineer who conquered the Mississippi. Behold the mighty flood Where once the bounds of states dissevered, stood, as A triple arch now spun from shore to shore Defies the angry tide and leads our footsteps o'erg While swift beneath the trains of commerce glide, And ships securely o'er the billows ride, Pass and repass the unobstructed way From the West mountains to the Southern sea.

Ludwig, one of the best known of our staff, passed suddenly and quietly out of our midst. Mr. Ludwig began his career in St. Louis as a teacher of Physics in the McKinley High School in the fall of l906. He continued his services in McKinley until the opening of Roosevelt in January l925, when all the teachers of the former school were transferred to the new institution. Throughout all these years Mr. Ludwig proved himself a most faithful and conscientious teacher of his chosen subject. l-le was noted for his thoroughness, patience, and painstaking efforts in behalf of his pupils. Such was the interest that he took in the boys and girls of his classes that he never let slip any opportunity to be of assistance, especially to those who were back in their studies. Day by day this teacher was found at his desk, willingly giving up his time and attention to those who came to him with their individual problems. To die at his post was the lot of Mr. Ludwig. This was a fitting end of the life of one who was indeed a true teacher, whose every thought centered unselfishly and gladly around the welfare of those under his care. His was the spirit of labor and sacrifice without any desire for praise. For many years to come, the memory of our departed friend will be fresh in the minds of all those whom he sought to instruct.

ILITERATIIREI EDITORIALS OUR SUBJECT FOR BWANA URELY nothing figures more in the history and romance of our country than Ol' Man River. Nearly every country has its own favorite waterway--England, the Thamesg South America, the Amazong Germany, the Rhine, but which can compare with our own Mississippi? Of course nearly all rivers are alike, but, never- theless, the Mississippi seems to be superior to us in beauty of scenery, in commercial value, and in inspirational matter to artists and authors. There are few themes more closely related to us. All our lives it has- been rolling past our doors, who is not fascinated by its uninterrupted wanderings? Ol' Man River is a familiar subject, but there are probably many facts about it which are unknown to us. Among them-did you ever stop to count the number of states into which the Mississippi penetrates? The Father of Waters and his tributaries extend into twenty-six of the forty-eight states of the Union. The Mississippi River alone is 1450 miles long while the distance from the source of the Missouri River to the mouth of the Mississippi at New Orleans is 4200 miles, the longest river course in the world. Who can but marvel at such a world-renowned river? We believe that the Bwana Staff has chosen a fitting subject for the annual because of the riveris proximity and its value. BERNICE WHITNEY THE NAMES OF OUR ANNUAL AND WEEKLY HEN Roosevelt High School was opened, its pupils came from two other high schools, Cleveland and McKinley. Only those pupils who lived in the district came from Cleveland, but all McKinley pupils were moved and that school made into a Junior High. ln order to build up a new loyalty to Roosevelt and suc- cessfully combine the two sets of pupils, it was deemed advisable not to retain the names of the McKinley publications. The McKinley annual was called Carnation, after McKinley's favorite flowerg and the newspaper Crimson, from the school's color. The Student Council and a special committee voted on the names sug- gested. The most popular names proposed for the annual were Rooselfelticln, Colonel, and Bwana. This last name was suggested by Mr. Lewis, then a teacher here. Bwana was finally chosen as the name for the annual and Rough Rider for the weekly. Both these names refer to some episode of Colonel Roosevelt's life. Rough Rider was a nickname given Roosevelt as leader of the Rough Riders in the Spanish-American War. Colonel Roosevelt was called Bwana Tumbo by the African natives at the time of his big game hunts. Bwancl means hunter, and turnbo, mighty. Thus came into being the now familiar names. ELSIE. F.

Perhaps as she grows older she will grow Wiser in these worldly things, but I- But I would have her as she's now- Bright-smiling-far too artless for a sigh, Her loyal love e'er ready to avow.

Hail, oh, Father of all waters! Flowing southward through the landg Joined by brooks, and streams, and rivers, Ever broader and more grand. -Elsie F. Yehling Term 7 THE RIVER Rolling onward, 'tis so slow As through its valley, broad and low, Past fertile Helds of waving grain, The river flows-then o'er the plain, By quiet woodland, dark and still, Through the vale and past the hill, Ever winding toward the sea- Toward the ocean, wild ana' free. And as it plashes 'gainst the shore It whispers of forgotten lore, Of fleet, wild deer, and singing bird Of beaver, and of buff'lo herd, Of Indian brave, and dusky maid, Of frontiersmen, so unafraid- All this it tells if we give ear And pause awhile, its tale to hear. -Florence Hazell Term 5 One Hundred Seventeen EUJENE MIGHTY RIVER Mighty river, Ever flowing, ever going toward th What is it, that draws you onward Ever onward toward the sea?

W. . . ,,,,,,,.,,., , . EWZINE JUDGE Nor HASTILY H ELL, boys, said Matthew Greer, addressing the group of hardy lumbermen hastily breakfasting in the rudely con- structed mess house, we've done a good job this winter. Day after tomorrow We'll be ready to float the logs to the mill. l'm going to the land office at Baden tomorrow night to buy the best tract of white pine forest l've ever seen. lt's located between Lake Saginaw and the Ossawinamakee river, and it's about the only good timberland left around here. You're all welcome to your jobs again next fall. There won't be any other work 'round this country by then. A loud cheer filled the air, but it was interrupted by the entrance of Mrs. Greer. Do have some more biscuits, boys,', she smilingly urged. Mother Greer, as she was called by the boys, was a little, white- haired, old lady with a sweet face and a very engaging smile. She was hard of hearing, and, although well liked by everyone, was considered slightly stupid. Perhaps it was due to her deafness, but poor Mother Greer could never see the point of a joke, nor ever quite understand what a conversation was all about, and-well, she was just a trifle dull. Two hours later Mrs. Greer sat rocking placidly on the porch of her cabin. The boys were hard at work. She could hear-only because she knew the process so Well and could imagine most of it-the logs being transported to the skidway, she could hear them bump across the parallel skids where they were left to be rolled to the top of the pile. The dishes were washed and the bunk-houses were clean, so now Mother Greer had a few hours of leisure. She was lonesome. Annie, her assistant, could be heard in the mess house loudly singing Carry Me Back to Old Virginnyf' decidedly off key. Annie was certainly not an interesting con- versationalist. Her powers-consisting of narration alone-had been entirely exhausted during the first week after she had related the simple story of her life. Suddenly Mrs. Greer's eyes brightened. A dust-covered Hivver, chugging down the road, had come to a jerking halt in front of the cabin. A car passing on the old lumber road was a rarity in itself, but one stopping at the camp was a 'great event. Mrs. Greer rose quickly and hastened to the gate. A middle-aged man was alighting from the car. I-le was clean-shaven and wore a dark brown business suit. From the city, mentally observed Mrs. Greer. Cans out of water, said the man abruptly. May l trouble you for some? One Hundred Nineteen BWENE The old lady couldn't hear just what he said, but she was delighted to have company. Good morning. Won't you come in? she invited cordially. 'Tm a little deaf, so you'll have to shout at me, she told him, laughing. My name is John Perry, the stranger said more loudly. l'd like some water for my car. Water? Why, of course, Mr. Berry. Come right in. The well's 'round the back. l'll get a bucket. That's very kind of you, he said pleasantly. My name is Perry. Oh, she laughed, Gez'ryl l beg your pardon, Mr. Gerry. Then, seeing that he looked more annoyed than ever, OT did you say 'Ferry'? John Perry was one of those persons who are precise enough to desire their names pronounced correctly. I-le drew a worn bill-fold from his pocket. My card, he explained, handing her one. As he pulled out the card- case, a piece of paper fluttered to the ground. Neither noticed it, simply because they were laughing so heartily. It was an impossibility to hear Mother Greer laugh and not join her, and she was certainly enjoying this situation. A well-dressed gentleman from the city was standing on her rough cabin porch, formally presenting her with an elaborately engraved calling card! It was a wonderful joke. Still chuckling, she went in and got a bucket. After thanking her, John Perry took it and strode around to the back of the house where this highly amusing old lady had informed him, he would find a well. Left alone, and her mirth having slightly subsided, Mother Greer was preparing to re-settle herself in the rickety rocking-chair when her sharp eyes-doubly so because of the weakness of her ears-fell upon the piece of paper, which had been blown into the corner between the steps and the porch. Tidy Mrs. Greer hated paper in the yard, and she sighed as she stooped to pick it up. Seeing that it was a letter, and never dreaming that Mr. Perry had dropped it, she unfolded the paper and curiously scanned the neatly typewritten page. As she glanced at the heading, she emitted a little gasp of surprise, then read on, hurriedly and without scruples. As she continued, her eyes widened and her breath came quickly. She had scarcely finished reading when she heard Perry coming. She hastily thrust the letter into her pocket, and composed her face, settling it into her engaging smile. Are you going to pass through Baden, Mr. Perry? she asked as sooif as he rounded the house. 'Tm going to Baden. How lovely! she cried, delighted. 'il have a friend there whom l have been wanting to visit. If you'll drive me in, l can ride back with Mr. Mallon tomorrow morning. He's going to bring up some supplies. Annie can manage for just three meals. This is an ideal time to visit Martha. Will you take me in to Baden? she asked with her very sweetest smile. Certainly, said Perry. ul shall be glad to. One Hundred Twenty EWEHH Oh, thank you. I'll be ready in a few minutes. just take your time. l'm in no hurry. But Mother Greer didn't take her time. She was far too excited. She searched rapidly through a drawer for a small notebook, which she placed in her pocket. Then she scribbled a note to her husband, scrambled a few clothes into a huge suit-case, gave exact instructions to Annie, and in ten minutes stood, breathless, on the porch. During the two-hour drive to town, Mrs. Greer did all the talking. Perry's few attempts at conversation were met only with broad smiles, for the motor made such a racket that Mother Greer had no idea of what he was saying. So after a while, he subsided and let her chatter on, which she did quite willingly. As they entered Baden, Perry loudly inquired, Where does your friend live, Mrs. Greer? She lives on the other side of town. I'd like to get a few things at the general store. It will be a long walk back from Martha's. We pass right by there, and if you wouldn't mind stopping just a minute- HNot at all. l have lots of time. Thank you. I won't be long. Mrs. Greer entered the store and Perry settled himself to wait. Five minutes passed. She's probably looking at everything in the store, he thought. Five more minutes passed. ul suppose she can't make up her mind. Women are like that. Still another five minutes passed. Great Scott! Fifteen minutes when she hurried! He was glad she wasn't taking her time! Well, there she was at last, laden with bundles. Sorry to have kept you so long, Mr. Perry, Mother Greer smiled. The clerk coulcln't find anything to match my sample. The very last bolt we looked at was the kind I wanted. When Mrs. Greer alighted from the car in front of Martha Varden's little cottage, she turned and bestowed a heavenly smile upon her unsuspecting benefactor. Thank you, Mr. Perry, she said, giving him her hand. You don't realize what a big help you have been to me. And with a laugh she was gone. Perry shrugged in bewilderment. Queer old lady, he mused. The next evening the boys were just seating themselves about the old mess-table when smiling Mother Greer entered, carrying a tray of the inevitable biscuits. Hello, Mary, cried Matthew kissing his wife. Did you have a nice time in Baden? Yes, she beamed, a very nice time. The meal began, Mother Greer waiting on the table as usual. Suddenly One Hundred Twenty-one BWZINH Matthew asked, Did you pack my bag, Mary? l've got to go to Baden tonight, you know. No, was the unconcerned answer, I didn't. Matthew started in displeased surprise for Mary had badly spoiled him. Why not? he frowned. Because you clon't have to go to Baden tonight. What! Matthew said gruffly. Mary, what on earthiln Wait a minute, she interrupted. l have something to tell you, Matthew. Forty pairs of ears were instantly alert. Forty pairs of eyes were instantly fixed on Mother Greens face. Several pairs of hands actually paused momen- tarily in the important business of conveying food to their respective mouths. Mrs. Greer, continuing to wait upon the table, told of Mr. Perry's stopping for water, of his presenting her with his card-she began to laugh again at the memory-of his dropping the letter without either of them noticing it, and of her discovery of it when left alone. ul learned from the letter that Mr. Perry was an agent of the Wilson and Riley Lumber Company, she said. The letter instructed him to go to Baden and buy the tract of white pine between Lake Saginaw and the Ossawinarnakee river. Will you have another cup of coffee, Ned? l asked Mr. Perry to drive me into town so l could visit Martha. l-le seemed glad to do it. While he waited for me to make some purchases in the general store, l slipped out the back way, and went up to the land office. Have another biscuit, Tom. I had taken your descriptions, Matthew, and the check which you had already made out, so l bought the land for you. l think the clerk thought it was a little queer. An old lady like me. Matthew, you're not eating anything! My sakesln gasped Matthew. To think that you outwitted a smart business man from the city, Mother. What must he think of you? Ml believe that he thought l was sort of a funny, little old lady, she answered pouring coffee. For a few moments the lumbermen sat silent, gasping in astonishment. It was unbelievable! Little Mother Greer! Little Mother Greer whom they had thought stupid had saved their next winter jobs! Then Ned came out of his stupor. l-le rose to his feet. Well, he's changed his mind by now, he cried. I propose three cheers for Brilliant Mother Greer! And they were given quite heartily, and doubly loud so that smiling Mother Greer could hear them better. ARLEEN THYSON Term 6 fWon first place in contest for terms 6, 7, 8.2 One Hundred Twenty-two EWENH A FRACTION OF AN INCH CTOBER l929! The stock crash! Gaurdly was like a man stunned. He had seen his stock go down point after point. Brokers had demanded money for margin till he could pay no more. His fortune gone! He couldn't realize it. What would they think of Dr. Gaurdly, the rising young surgeon, successful and ambitious? Howdy, Doc! He nodded mechanically, walking like a man in a dream. The crowd bustled and pushed him, brokers rushed about like madmen, people feverishly sold stock, frightened lest they be left penniless. He could hear one fat, old dowager sobbing hysterically. From force of habit he took out his watch and glanced at it. Ah, yes, he must pull himself together. An operation-a delicate operation-had to be made at three -he mustn't be nervous. It was queer about that operation. He had been discussing a possibility of it with another doctor. Better not do any experi- menting in this operation, too dangerous, he had been warned, and yet- He couldn't save the fellow anyway. Jessics had carcinoma or malignant cancer from which he was bound to die soon. It was only in hope of pro- longing his life a few days more that they were making the operation. Gaurdly was to use the latest discovery in this operation, an injection of a new serum right into the affected region. It was sure to arrest the cancerous growth long enough for the man to live from four to six days longer. He hailed a taxi. Must stop worrying, he thought, bad for the nerves, that's what he always told his patients, strange that he should be telling himself! At home he ate lunch slowly, again from force of habitg but his hand trembled as he lifted the cup of cocoa to his lips. Three o'clock! The operation! Nurses and doctors in white moved about quietly like ethereal things. Medical students seated themselves in the balcony which was separated from the operating room by glass. They were discussing the coming operation in hushed voices. So it's to be an injection, eh? Sounds simple to me, one of them said. uordinarily it would be, interjected a young interne, but in this case the area affected is directly around the solar plexus which is called, as you know, the abdominal brain. Just a fraction of an inch too far and--well, how the serum would affect the nerve cells or ganglia, l don't know. Say, you know l heard old Doc Crossly and Gaurdly discussing an injection of the serum right into the ganglia, interrupted another. Crossly seemed to think there was something in the idea, but he Warned Gaurdly not to try any funny stuff in this operation. Of course Gaurdly wouldn't think of experimenting in an actual operationg Crossly's an old crab anyway. The others heartily agreed on this point, for many of the students and internes had felt the old doctor's ire. The discussion ceased and all turned their eyes to that interesting spot in the center of the operating room. One Hundred Twenty-three BWEHH The patient, a Mr. Jessics, well known in financial circles, had been wheeled in, and the doctors had just entered. The anaesthetic was admin- istered and the operation began. The critical part of the operation came, the actual injecting of the serum. Masked faces bent over the still figure on the operating table. The tense group of men in the balcony pressed their faces to the glass. Just a fraction of an inch too far and--- Down in the operating room Gaurdly was sweating profusely. The nervous strain was telling on his overwrought mind. What a ghastly business, he thought. His gloved hand trembled just a little as he was handed the hypodermic needle. l-le glanced around fearfully to see if someone had noticed. The sweat stood suddenly cold upon Gaurdly's brow. He had pressed the needle in slowly when, his hand twitched and sent it deeper-just a fraction of an inch! Up in the students' balcony excitement prevailed. 'il could swear he injected it into the ganglia, but he didn't seem the least bit disturbed. Oh, I don't know-if you had seen his eyes-- and so it ran on. ln the dressing room Gaurdly suddenly felt old and tired. He knew they were discussing him, the slip of the hand that was to ruin his whole life, Crossly had seen itg of that he was sure. An interne entered. You're wanted in room fifty-seven, sir. Room fifty-seven was the consultation room. Gaurdly knew what was about to happen. This wasn't the first time. A group of prominent doctors would politely inform him that he was no longer Wanted at the hospital, which meant that he was to leave the city. Mlqough on Gaurdlyf' he heard someone say as he Went up the hall. On entering the room he saw the nine men who were to pass judgment on him seated around the table. Perhaps you know, Dr. Gaurdly, why we have sent for you, said Crossly who seemed to be the spokesman for the group. ul know, said Gaurdly in a voice which betrayed nothing of what he thought. All I have to say, is that the whole thing was an accident, nothing else! Certainly you don't expect us to believe that after our discussion of yesterday, exclaimed Crossly. Dr. Crossly here tells us-- began one of the other doctors. I know, cried Gaurdly. UNO! l don't expect you to believe it. How- ever, it happens to be the truth. 'Tm sorry, Dr. Gaurdly, but you will have to leave. Accidents must not happen in our profession. Thus was the ultimatum delivered which sent Gaurdly from the civilized world. The next day he was gone. Jessics, however, did not die that night, and this was accounted for by the doctors saying that miracles sometimes do happeng but Jessics did not die the next day either, nor the day after. l-le waxed stronger and stronger One Hundred Twenty-four EWHHE until a year later, when he was examined, he was declared cured. Then an enthusiastic young research doctor tried an experiment on guinea pigs afflicted with the same disease. He injected the serum directly into the ganglia and, miracle of miracles, the guinea pigs were cured! Newspapers took up Gaurd- ly's case and enlarged upon the injustice of it, showing how his mind was weighted down by the loss of his fortune. Jessics himself demanded an investigation. ul don't care how he saved my life. All l know is that he saved it! the newspapers quoted him as saying. Finally a committee with Crossly at its head was appointed to find Gaurdly. Crossly by this time had admitted that he was mistaken about Gaurdly. Crossly traced Gaurdly to a little village in Carolina. A little cabin on a distant hillside was pointed out to him as Gaurdly's home. Be yuh aimin' tuh go thar' tuh-day yit? speculated the old store-keeper who had directed him. Be most dark when yuh git thar'. Crossly nodded in assent. 'Tm leaving immediately, he said. He procured a horse fof old and ancient mien, he thought to himselfj which was the only means of transportation he could find. As he rode along the winding pathway, he felt in an extremely pleasant frame of mind. Every- thing had gone well with him that day. He had found the first substantial clue pertaining to Gaurdly's whereabouts that morning. The sun shone down on him with a pleasant warmth when it was not intercepted by the green avenues of leaves overhead. How happy Gaurdly would be, he thought, when he was told of his good fortune-yes, indeed, he was feeling very fit today. A bearer of good news is always in a good humor. Dusk came and he began to feel chilled. He pulled his coat about him for warmth. The mournful cry of a night bird floated across the evening sky. The shadows deepened. He was almost there, he thought. He could see the cabin but dimly, now that the sun was setting. just then the forest became thicker and shut off his view. What a lonely and desolate spot, he thought. Gaurdly must have gone nearly crazy living out here. No breeze stirred the trees in the little valley he had just entered. A feeling of almost the supernatural seized him. Everything was so quiet, a death-like stillness that seemed almost material. He began to remember folk tales he had read, superstitious, weird. Such a place would be a fitting abode for Werewolves, he thought. He shivered, and this time it was not from the cold. He had almost reached the cabin nowg he could see the chimney above the trees. A slight breeze had arisen and he could hear the bough of a tree creaking in the Wind as though it were weighted down with something. For a reason he could not define, it sounded ominous to him. He ran to the cabin door and knocked upon it. No one answered. Finding the door unlocked, he walked in. lnside the darkness was intense. He lighted a candle and glanced around. Nobody here, he thought. just then a movement at the window towards the rear of the cabin attracted his eye. One Hundred Twenty-Hue BWENH It was Gaurdlyl Gaurclly seemed to be looking through the Window and slowly shaking his head at him. His face seemed queerly White. Crossly ran out of the cabin and to the rear of it. What was this he saw before him! Gaurdly's corpse hanging from the bough of the tree swayed slowly to and fro in the evening breeze. The gloom of approaching night gave the face an unearthly aspect which the fiend incarnate himself might have conceived. Crossly, who was said to be a brave man, fainted.

Two heads simultaneously popped out of the two opposite windows of the Ford. A long sigh was emitted from the driver as he breathed, Well, guess it's my turn to change the tire, again! Those old tires don't seem to last any time. That junk dealer swore up and down we'd get at least a hundred miles on 'ern. Toss me the jack, will yah, Bob? Sure thing, Bob replied good-naturedly, as he settled down for a prolonged nap in the shade. ul-lumph! Cheerful fella! And why shouldn't he be cheerful? l'm the one who had to change the last three tires! What a miserable proposition my idea turned out to be! Don't know why l ever made it. l sure was dumb when l suggested that whenever a tire blew out, the fellow on whose side it was, had to change it. Ugh! Whew! The jack slipped! This was all in a mumbled undertone. Next came, Hey, Bob! Can't yah give a fellow a lift? Bob, taking pity on the perspiring Jack, helped him, and, with the tire changed, the two pals continued their dubious way, the sign on the back of the car announcing to the World Cas if it had to be told, that the car was duly christened The Booby l-latch. The exterior trimming on the side warned, Sullivan State Park-or Bust. Tent, cots, cooking utensils and blankets decorated the shaking, quiver- ing sides of the old Model T. The boys were out for a week-end camping trip at State Park. Whoa-ah! cried Bob, ever on the outlook for barbecue stands. This looks like a place Where We could get some decent Java. Boy! Am l hungry! A button on the dashboard was pressed, and the two front doors flew open-Lizzie was a properly equipped lady with all the accessories that two eighteen-year-old minds could suggest, from self-opening doors to a shower bath on the rear end of the car. Both bounced up to the counter and demanded, A couple of 'burgers and Java. Where you-all bound fer? asked the be-whiskered proprietor. Sullivan, came the short answer, for the boys were engaged in a most serious occupation-eating. Sullivan! barked the man, Sullivan! he repeated with an amazed look. Yeah, Sullivan. What's wrong with that? queried Jack, then added in an undertone to Bob, H 'S he goofy? Bob shrugged Dunno! uwhy in the world you goin, to Sullivan? questioned the farmer. C:-amp. Where? State Park. Ye gods 'n' little fishes! Ain't you-all heeerd th' latest report? One Hundred Twenty-seuen BUJENE Report? Report of what? Man alive, you mean to stand thare an' tell me you ain't heerd 'bout all th' goin's on down to State Park in Sullivan? Nope! What's happened? Jack asked as both boys stopped eating and leaned forward to listen. Why, for the last coupla days thar's ben strange happenin's in the Park. All the camper's skidoo'd, too. 'S ben mighty-y, might-t-ty queer reports a-coming' up from those parts. Folks ben seein' ghosts! With the startling announcement made, the farmer leaned back in his chair to View the effect he had wrought. Aw, g'wan, came the disappointing retort from the boys. G'wan?-G'Wan, yourself! blurted the man, bringing his feet to the floor to peer warningly at these strange customers. Aw right, kids, go ahead, but don't say l didn't warn yah! Wouldn't go if t'was me. That'll be half-dollar, he added as the boys finished. Their bill paid, Bob and Jack continued their journey. After a few more punctures, engine trouble, and losing their tent, the chums pulled in the State Park at twilight. All was quiet and serene until Bob broke the weary silence by exclaiming that the tent had disappeared. We can sleep in there, said Jack as he motioned to a cave with a weary gesture, for he had what is commonly known among tourists as flat- tireitesf' Bob nodded, pressed a spring, and down came a collapsible table. He pulled out a frying pan and soon the two travelers were feasting on ham and eggs, with some more ham and eggs for dessert. They soon finished their improvised dinner, and with mighty yawns, both started toward their cots. They dragged them to the cave, threw themselves down on the welcome blankets, and in a shorter time than the Booby Hatch could have contracted a Hat tire, both were sound asleep. Suddenly Jack awoke, brushed something from his face, jumped up, and pulled his cot back farther into the cave, for unwelcome rain was falling. Not thinking about Bob at all, Jack went back to sleep, but was soon awakened by the shouts of the soaked-to-the-skin Bob, who, in the rush to move his cot pinched his finger and howled with pain. The next day at breakfast Jack began a poem about the preceding nightg this is how it went: ujack was a wise one, for it started to rain, He got up to pack, to wake Bob, did not deign. With cold H20 all over his brow, He soon did awake, and-oh! what a row! Bob continued with: Bob grabbed his cot and struggled in vain. He soon pinched his finger, and hollered with pain. While Jack folded his with a marvelous skill, Bob jumped upon his, and slid down the hill. One Hundred Twenty-eight BWENE With a great deal of gayety the boys began to talk over the plans for the day! Swimming, fishing, and loafing. The ghost wasn't given even a single thought. That night, they again slept in the cave, taking care to get far enough back, so they wouldn't get wet if it rained. Bob started to tease Jack, as they were preparing for bed, about a fall that he had taken that day, having slipped on some wet mud. He rhymed: The mud was smeared all over Jack's face. But he didn't much care. He was going no place. As Bob slipped into bed, he finished: He started to scrape the mud from his eye, For his face resembled a chocolate pie. The amateur poets soon went to sleep and were snoring deeply. This time it was Bob who awoke with a start. He sat up in bed, looked around, but couldn't see anythingg yet, he had a queer feeling that there was something in the cave beside the two boys. He lay down again, reached his arm over to Jack's cot, and shook him. Ugh! What's the matter? mumbled jack as he turned over. Sh-h!! Don't know. Be quiet and wait. There it is again. Look!!! At the mouth of the cave! Jack looked at the designated place and jumped as he saw something white flapping backward and forward. The two boys leapt to their feet, grabbed flashlights, and gave chase. The figure ran out and disappeared into an adjoining cave. After following it for a while, they finally gave up the chase, as it was dark, and the cave was unfamiliar to them. Again they went to sleep, only to be reawakened by men's voices, horse's hoofs, three shots, and a cry of pain following the last report. A white figure, presumably the same as before, fell into their cave with a moan. A group of men raced in, took off the white, all-enveloping robe that clothed the figure, and carried him out. Just a minute! called Jack. The men turned around and advanced cautiously toward the boys, guns extended. Who are you? What are you doin' here? asked one who was evidently the group's spokesman. We're campers, Bob replied. Who are you? And what do you want? Wei, seein' as yah don't mean no harm, I reckon I might as well tell yuh, answered the man. 'Tm the sheriff of this yere county. And this is my posse. We was out a-lookin' fer a lunatic what escaped from the State Insane Asylum, 'n' also a-scoutin' around lookin' fer the ghost. Wal, 'pears t' me we got both in one. lVleanin', son, that this yere ghost was just the escaped lunatic. He allus did have a hankerin' fer playin' angel. Wal, goodnight to yah, boys. Sorry we disturbed yah. C'mon, men, let's git goin'. One Hundred Twenty-nine EUJENH Bob and Jack watched them till the horsemen were out of sight. Then, looking at his watch, Bob announced, H 'S five-thirty-wanna go back to bed? Naw, d'you? Nope! I..et's start packin', shall we? Oke! agreed Jack, folding his cot. Soon both were ready to leave. They rode for about twenty-five miles, then came in sight of the little barbecue stand they had passed on their way down. Ghost scare yah 'way? the proprietor greeted them. Naw, answered Jack as he placed his order for coffee, ham, and eggs. Bob leaned forward toward the farmer as if he were going to tell him something very secret and confidential. Then he whispered: The ghost was a fake! Now give us some cake. The disappointed farmer complied with the request, and, as the boys rumbled away, the boys heard him mutter, What's the Younger Generation a-comin' to, anyway!!!

Aw, g'wan! Ain't I just been down there and asked? With a snort the guard passed on down the corridor and the prisoner to whom he had been talking sank down in his bunk, head in hands. Gee, I only got another hour, but Mac said he'd get me off sure. I ain't done nothing. It was all a frameup. If that reprieve don't come in an hour, I gotta sit in the 'hot seatf I don't wanta die! I ain't done nothing. Aw, pipe down kid, came from across the dimly lighted deathhouse corridor. You'll get out all right. They're just doing this to scare you. This seemed to steady the doomed one, and he drew himself erect. Clench- ing and unclenching his hands, he paced rapidly back and forth in his narrow cell, perspiration standing out in large beads all over his face which was deathly pale due to his long confinement. He heard a sudden noise at the end of the corridor and with eyes agleam he sprang to the cell door and peered out, only to fall back in dismay as no one appeared. I-Ie seemed to be weakening under the strain. I-Iis khaki shirt, open at the neck, was wringing wet from body perspiration and his hands were shaking as though he were afflicted. Suddenly a door opened. Footsteps approached. The condemned man almost screamed for joy as he looked into the face of the Warden. Good old Mac. I knew he wouldn't forget me. Golly, Warden, when can I get out of- Wait a minute, 6943l, here's the Chaplain to give you a few words of consolation. Too bad we haven't heard from the Governor. Buck up, kid. You still have a half hour. Here, wait a minute. What's the matter? Thud --6943i slumped to the floor and lay there unconscious on the dirty cement, gazing with unseeing eyes at the ceiling. I-Iere, let me take care of him. The Chaplain stepped into the cell and began to issue orders. Get some cold water, Warden, and a towel. That'll fix him up. But first help me get him onto his bunk. I-Ie's just fainted from that shock you gave him. I-Iumph! I-Ie'll get a bigger shock than that in about twenty-five minutes. When he for whom oblivion was such a short time away became con- scious, he gazed wildly about. When he saw the Warden, thoughts of recent events came back to him with a rush. I-Ie was about to ask the Warden why he wasn't being taken to the office for dismissal, when he saw the chaplain and remembered. With a wild cry he sprang to his feet, and, thrusting the two men aside he threw himself at the small but strong door of the cell One Hundred Thirty-two BVJEHH and shook the bars until the whole cell block reverberated with the clatter. Displaying unusual agility for one of his profession, the Chaplain, assisted by the bewildered Warden, succeeded in subduing the maniacal prisoner and called loudly for guards to come and tie him. When 69-43l was securely trussed up, the Chaplain ordered all to leave the cell and knelt down by the prisoner, who was now shaking like a leaf. Have you anything you want to say before l repeat the Scripture? A low growl but nothing more, issued from the thoroughly terrified inmate of the death house and the Chaplain intoned a number of verses, ending with, And as ye soweth, thus shall ye also reap. At that instant they heard a sound which struck terror to the heart of the prisoner. Tramp, tramp, tramp, tramp. The steps were coming nearer all the time. The door at the end of the corridor swung open and six burly guards entered the cell block. Tramp, tramp, tramp! Up to the door of the cell they came. The Warden, who was with them, unlocked the small barred door and beckoning to the two foremost guards, stepped in. Their entrance was the signal for such an outburst as has never been equalled in that deathhouse. The prisoner went stark mad. He screamed at the top of his voice and displayed such vigor in warding off the attempt of the guards, bound as he was, that it took the Chaplain, the Warden, and the half-dozen guards to get him out into the corridor. Then they started down the corridor but in the other direction now. At this end was a little metal door, painted green, and 69431 knew too well what was behind it. Realizing that these were his last minutes on earth, he screamed imprecations against Mac, the Warden, the Chaplain, the Governor, the guards and everyone connected with his present plight. At last the door was reached and though he was fighting like a Wildcat, the doomed man was forced into the little chamber at the end of which was the hot seat, ready and waiting with its thick leather straps. The slamming of the door shut out the noise of his struggles and all was quiet. Suddenly the lights were dimmed. Less than a minute later they attained their customary glow. Silence reigned. Suddenly the silence was broken. I surely am glad that reel is over, said the director, as he took his megaphone from his lips and instructed the camera man to pack up his instruments. IRWIN JOHNSON . Term 5 KWOTI first place m contest for pupils in terms 3, 4, 52 rt ' fl . .lA One Hundred Thirty-three EKUZIHH SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR YOUNG girl clad in an aviator's outfit walked slowly along the moonlit path. Stars twinkled and Winked down at her from up in the clear sky. Soft, enchanting music and gay laughter reached her ears. By the time Connie reached the fraternity house, the St. Pat's dance was in full swing. She stopped just outside the door, powdered her nose, and adjusted her mask. She wore neither rouge nor lipstick, for she wanted to look as much like a boy as possible. That wasn't hard for Connie to do, for her wavy blond hair, which was cut extremely short, could be easily arranged to resemble that of a boy. Her tall, boyish figure encased in this trim, neat-fitting costume helped her a great deal in playing her part. As Connie walked slowly through the hall, she caught sight of Bert, dressed as a dashing Mexican, leaning against the wall. l-le was tall, well- built, had straight black hair, dark eyes, tanned skin, and white teeth, all of which helped him to look really like a Mexican. She stood there watching him gaze around the room, wondering if he was looking for her and if he would recognize her when he saw her. Finally Bert looked in her direction but not exactly at her. I-le was looking at a group of girls. Oh, Babsln he called out, Hhave you seen Connie? No, I haven't, Bert, she answered, but she's here, because we called for her, and Mrs. Gilmore told us she had left. What's she wearing? shouted Bert, trying to make himself be heard above the loud confusion of music and laughter. No one knows: she refused to tell us, returned Babs. Just then Jack came into the room, and he and Bert walked to the other side of the room. The intermission was over and the orchestra swung into the alluring strains of a popular waltz. Connie, not knowing just what to do, moved a little closer to the stag line. Bert came over to her and asked, Can't you find your date either? ul stagged tonight, replied Connie, struggling to make her voice as low as possible. That's a neat-looking outfit you have on, remarked Bert, where did you get hold of one like that? Connie hesitated a moment before she answered this unexpected question. She had to think of something to tell him, for she couldn't give herself away after having gone this far. My pal's brother is an aviator, so l borrowed it from him, she answered. She had spoken the truth, for her pal, Joan, did have a brother who was an aviator. She also had borrowed the outfit. ul see you are a fraternity brother, too, but l must confess l don't recognize you, replied Bert. One Hundred Thirty-four EWZJHH Connie gasped! What could she say now? She had forgotten that she was wearing his pin. But Bert saved her the trouble of answering by asking if she had seen Connie Gilmore. No, murmured Connie, in fact l hardly know her. Connie turned her head so that he would not see her smile. If he only knew she was right by his side! Well, sighed Bert, there's no use of standing here. l..et's start cutting in. I may be lucky enough to cut in on someone and find her in my arms. in fact, I hope so, for I had planned to ask her something rather important tonight. Connie felt like shouting for joy. Then he did like her. in her mind she went back over the many happy hours they had spent together. Swimming, hikes, parties, dances, and--, Bertis voice broke in on her thoughts. Here comes Don. Guess i'll cut in on him. I'll see you later, -- and she was gone. Just then Doug and Joan danced by. Connie followed and cut in. The two girls danced away, Connie telling Joan all about her experiences so far in the new role she was playing. Joan, her brother, and Connie's mother, and dad were the only ones who knew Connie's secret, and they had promised not to give her away. When the music stopped, the two girls walked out on the little balcony to finish their conversation in private. Both Bert and Doug saw them leave the dance Hoor. Well, can you imagine that? growled Doug. 'Tm not going to let him get away with that. i'm going out there and claim ,Ioan for the next dance. I'll go with you, volunteered Bert. He may try to start something. Joan looked through the French doors, and saw the two boys coming toward them. Here comes Doug and Bert, and Doug looks terribly angry about sorne- thing. i wonder-in Ml-ie probably saw us come out here, broke in Connie. Well, we'll give him something to be angry about now. Connie put her arms around Joan and kissed her, just as the boys came through the door. 'Tm sorry to interrupt your little party, but this is my dance, Joan, said Doug coldly. He took Joan by the arm and the two strolled back to the dance floor. You'd better watch your step when you're around Joan because Doug is terribly jealous and has quite a temper, warned Bert. Oh, don't worry about me, replied Connie lightly as she walked back to the dance Hoor. She decided to cut in on other fellows, for, if she could fool Bert and Doug, she could surely fool the girls. Babs and one of her friends danced by her. Connie cut in and started the conversation with ua line as good as any of the boys had. She kept this up throughout the whole dance, cutting in and being cut in on. One Hundred Thirty-five EUJEHH During intermission Connie heard a group of girls, who were standing near her, talking about this darling young aviator. Babs, how does he dance? asked one girl. Simply divine, sighed Babs. Why, l could dance all night long if I had him for a partner. And has he got a good line? chimed in a little red-head with whom Connie had danced. Why, he almost had me believing it. Then he must be wonderful, laughed one of the other girls. Ushhhl-not so loud, said one of the girls who had just noticed Connie standing so near. I-le's standing right over there and has probably heard what we have been saying. The girls turned, looked at Connie, sighed, and then walked away. Connie was thrilled over this and wondered what the girls would say when they found out who their handsome aviator was. just then Bert came over to her and said, My, but it's hot and stuffy in here. l..et's go outside. Surely, l'll go along, agreed Connie. The next dance the girls were all hoping that this young aviator would dance with them, but they were disappointed because he did not even appear on the dance floor. Out on the balcony the conversation between Connie and Bert led to the discussion of each other's friend. Connie was having the time of her life listening to Bert tell about Connie Gilmore, the sweetest girl in the world, the one and only for him. It was mean, Connie thought, to deceive him like this, but she was determined to go through with it now. But still Connie was worried. Would he be angry when he found her out? If it had been anyone else she knew, he wouldn't be angry, but with Bert it was different. He was so temperamental, you couldn't tell what he was going to do next. Well, she couldn't do anything but trust to the best of luck. Finally Connie suggested going back to the dance Hoor as she didn't want him to tell her--everything-now. She wanted him to wait until he knew who she was and then tell her, but in a different way. When the girls saw Connie again, they whispered to one another. There he is now. Oh, I hope he asks me for a dance. lsn't he handsome? l wonder who he is. I wonder if he will take one of us girls home. The fellows were all getting disgusted and wished that this aviator was at least a thousand miles away from the dance. They couldn't get the girls interested in anything but him. About an hour later, during another intermission, a group of girls gathered around Joan in the dressing room. It had been plain to see that Joan was making a hit with the aviator. Joan, have you found out what he is? questioned Babs. We're all very anxious to know who he is. One Hundred Thirty-six BVJENE Why, yes, l know his name, laughed Joan. He is Raymond D. Withers the grandson of that noted banker, W. G. Withers. He just got back from Florida. A few minutes later while joan was talking to Babs and Audrey, their chaperon came over to them, accompanied by a distinguished-looking young man. Miss Taylor and Miss Warrington, l want you to meet Mr. Withers, the grandson of W. G. Withers. l-le has been abroad for quite some time, so l'm depending on you girls to see what you can do to entertain him and see that he meets the rest of your set. Now, if you will please pardon me, for l see more guests are arriving. Then the chaperon hurried away. Poor ,Ioan's heart sank and her face became frightfully red. The other two girls threw meaning glances at one another, nodded their heads and smiled. Babs spoke first. Pardon me, Mr. Withers, but do you happen to have a brother or cousin by the name of Raymond? This seemed to be quite amusing to Mr. Withers and he answered, No, that is my first name. You'll have to excuse me, stammered Joan. I see Doug calling to me. She all but ran to him in her desire to get away from the others. Why did the real Mr. Withers have to show up tonight, she thought, tonight of all nights and spoil their fun? For heaven's sake, Joan, hurry up! cried Doug. Some time during this dance the lights are going to be turned off for thirty seconds. During this time everyone must unmask. We don't want to miss this! A long loud beating on the drums quieted the crowd so that the orchestra leader could make himself heard. Listen, folks, at the end of this dance every one must unmask, so every- body start dancing. Not enough girls, someone shouted. All right, exclaimed the leader, all you stags keep together on the right side of the floor. No one leave the room, please. Then the orchestra swung into a popular fox-trot. As luck would have it, Bert and Connie were standing near each other. Bert laughed and said, Well, we stags will have to stay together. The lights went out-thirty seconds passed-then on they flashed. Every- one shouted with joy when he saw his partner. Bert did not look at his partner, he was looking for Connie. I suppose you're still looking for her, remarked Connie, without dis- guising her voice. Bert stared at her. Conniel You? he said in an astonished tone. Then he suddenly broke into a fit of laughter. Other couples near him looked to see what it was all about, and they, too, saw Connie. One Hundred Thirty-seven BWZIHH f She was the cause of quite a bit of excitement for the next few minutes. No one could get over how well she had played her part. Doug came to her and apologized for his sarcastic remarks. Later things began to quiet down, and couples started leaving. Connie, Bert, Doug, and Joan left the fraternity house together. Bert and Doug had parked their cars next to one another. As they sat there in their cars for a moment before starting, Joan heard Connie softly ask Bert, What is it that you have so important to ask me? Joan nudged Doug, and Bert's answer was drowned out by the roar of their motor as they drove off. MARIE FRENCH Term 5 lWon second place in contest for terms 3, 4, 52 Quill!!

This task, with the many other duties which were all a part of my work, kept me busy. The time should have flown by, but for some unaccountable reason I was nervous and had the feeling that something was dreadfully wrong. It was a feeling that I could not account for, as everything at home and at the office, so far as I knew, was all right. As this feeling of uneasiness remained all day it slowed up my work. I was far from finished when the other girls left for home, and I was obliged to stay overtime to complete my work. Without stopping for dinner, I continued to type, and being absorbed in the work, I was doing I paid no attention to the passing hours. I worked late into the night. Finished at last, I gathered my papers together, placed them upon my employer's desk and prepared to leave. It was not until then that I realized the lateness of the hour, nearly midnight, and I was, as far as I knew, alone in the large building where our office was located. I put on my wraps, and knowing that the lights were burning in the hall, I snapped off those in the office. At that moment I heard a loud explosion that sounded to me as if a shot had been fired in the immediate vicinity of the room where I was standing, tense and frightened with my hand still on the light switch. I was so frightened I could not move, my hands felt icy cold, and I seemed to have lost all power of speech. Though it seemed an age since I had heard the explosion, it must have been but a second or two before a crumpled form staggered against the other side of our office door and fell to the Hoor. Standing in our dark office, I could see the scene enacted in the well-lighted hall vividly portrayed on the frosted glass of our office door. Of course, I could not distinguish the features of the man who had fallen nor those of the man who stealthily approached him a few seconds later, but I could not be mistaken in the fact that the latter had lost the ring finger of his left hand. I had noticed this when he rested his left hand against the glass of the door, back of which I stood while he leaned over his fallen victim. What was I to do? What could I do? I dared not make a sound without the danger of revealing my presence. Trying to collect my shattered nerves, I softly stole over to a chair which now became visible as my eyes had become accustomed to the darkness. For some moments the man continued to search his victim. Then he straightened up and moved off to the left towards the stairs. Summoning every ounce of courage, I noiselessly moved over to where I supposed my desk to be, intending to telephone the police. I-Iaving reached One Hundred Thirty-nine EUJEINH my desk, l called the operator. It seemed hours before I heard a faint buzz. Then it seemed to me that some one at the other end of the wire was talking but l could not understand what was being said. l hung up the receiver. just then the lights were extinguished, leaving the entire floor in darkness. Then l heard the unearthly scream of many sirens and the terrible roar of fire engines. As far as l could judge from the noise, the fire was in the immediate neighborhood. Perhaps it was in the very building where I was sitting. Frozen with fear, l sat rooted to the chair. l became more afraid with every passing moment. I could not move. Cold chills crept up my spine and my lips became parched. l detected the odor of smoke and our office became stifling hot. l gasped for breath and forced myself to stand up and staggered towards the door. Perhaps the man with the missing finger had set fire to the building to cover his terrible crime. Though l succeeded in reaching the door, fear kept me from pulling it open, as l could not look upon the huddled form which l knew was lying there. Completely overcome by fright and lack of fresh air, I must have fainted where l stood, for it was by the door of my room that mother found me early the next morning. During my dream, l must have crawled to the door. There was no crime committed nor was there a fire: in fact, I was merely a youngster in the fifth grade at school, not old enough to work in an office, but certainly old enough to retain a vivid picture of a dream that haunts me to this day whenever l hear the clinking of a typewriter.

The dark outline of the opposite shore could be dimly seen through the faint mist: a few stars shone in the sky and reflected their pale light in the river gliding beneath. A tall willow leaned over the bank and cast a dim shadow into the lapping water. From the Slough in the rear there came the shrill croaking of frogs crying warnings of rain, and around me buzzed and hummed thousands of mos- quitoes. From some distant tree came the lonely cry of a night bird. Across the water a faint campfire flickeredg some belated traveler or camper perhaps. Then over the bend up the river a round yellow moon began to appear, and seemed to summon fantastic shapes- along the shore: a half-submerged log rolled gently beneath the bank. Suddenly a long wail drifted from up the river. My heart stood still. Again it came: lVlaa-ar-k twaaa-iinn! Yehhh-hooooln And then a low, white freight boat churned around the distant bend. Standing in the front was a small, dark figure with a long pole. I-le was poling the boat over a bar to another channel. And in the moonlight he looked like some mystic shepherd of the river. After the steamer had passed down the river, I stood for some time upon the bank. The frogs had ceased to croakg even the mosquitoes hummed less loudly. From the shore, a hawk cried shrilly at the dying campfire across the silvery river, and the Mississippi rolled on through the moonlight.

A T IS two-thirty and the end of the seventh-hour class. Doors fly open and on every hand, like a swarm of bees, pupils Hock into the corridor, scrambling, fighting, toward their advisory rooms. Finally all is still in the corridor. There remains only mute evidence of the great struggle staged there not five minutes before. Over the floor are scattered bits-perhaps a badly mutilated book-cover, the top of a fountain pen, or even a note-book torn asunder. Then another bell rings and again the corridor is filleclg but this time it is a pulling, holding crowd rather than a pushing, scrambling one. Let us follow one of the Hstudentsn.

ROBERT DOSE One Hundred Forty-seven BVJZINH CONCEALED BY THE MISSISSIPPI During the sum- mer of l930 as the waters of the Missis- sippi were receding from the bluffs of the Father of Waters, the historic hull of a Federal gunboat, sunk in Civil War days, was uncovered. The hull is usually concealed from view by high water and has been seen only a few times since it COUMSY OfP0S DfSPa'f'7 was sunk in l862. When the water is high, the wreck is covered with sand and mud. As the river shifted its course due to low water, it washed away the sand and mud. The boat, whose name is unknown, belonged to the fleet of General Foote, who operated against Fort Henry, Fort Pillow, Vicksburg and Island Number IO, on the lower Mississippi. Part of the fleet had been built by Captain James B. Eads and had been launched at Carondelet in l86l. The boats built by Captain Eads were l90 feet long and were built of black oak. During the winter of l862, General Foote's fleet was anchored in Windor Bay, near Kimmswick, Missouri. The cold was very severe and the Mississippi was filled with floating ice. Six boats of General Footeis fleet were wrecked in the ice jam. This boat was in the number. After the machinery and the iron plates protecting the boats' oaken hulls were removed, the boats were abandoned. Last August, the Mississippi was very low and the hull of one of the wrecked boats was left out of the water. Wanting a souvenir, I drove to Kimmswick, where the wreck is located. After much difficulty, I reached it, and, with the aid of a friend, I sawed out a piece of plank siding from the near side of the hull. The planks used were ten inches wide and about forty feet long. The picture shows how the bows of the boats were reenforced with heavy timbers, so that they could be used as rams. The plank siding and reenforcing timbers were nailed together with spikes of iron, twelve inches long and one inch square, heated red hot before being driven in. The wood is in a good state of preservation after being under the water sixty-eight years. From the plank, I had three gavels and an end-table made. One of the gavels I presented to the Literary Society here at Roosevelt, the other pair adorns my desk. EDWARD SWAR-1-HOU-T One Hundred Forty-eight BWHNH MY TRIP DOWN THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER And from every hill of flame She calls and calls each uagabond by name. -Carmen I-IE idea came to me a year before the trip was made. The past three summers I had traveled, this year I wanted to do some- thing different. I obtained a canoe and asked a friend, Russell Kruse, if he would like to make a trip down the Mississippi River. I-le thought it was a great idea. On July 29 at three o'clock in the morning we left St. l..ouis at the foot of Market Street for New Orleans. Here is a diary of our trip: Thursday, July 30. We reached Chester, Illinois, at seven o'clock, very tired. The thrill we had this morning as We paddled away from shore is still in my mind-a full moon, its reflection on the water, the death-like stillness, and the Vast amount of water on our sides When we reached the center of the river, that almost frightened us. We enjoyed ourselves Very much, for we had time to talk and sing. We had breakfast while floating with the current. We stopped several times to take a swim for the sun beating down upon us caused us to feel faint and dizzy. I had a big laugh because Russell, seeing an object bobbing up and down and making a snorting noise, thought it was a wild boar or a horse: it was only a half sunken buoy. It rained this afternoon for a while and cooled the atmosphere, making it delightful for paddling. Friday, July 31. We're going strong: we're in Cape Girardeau. We left Chester, Illinois, about six in the morning. We had spent the night at an old abandoned rail- road station. Several steamboats passed us and the waves threw us about like a cork. We met all the Waves head-on and it was a lot of fun. We stopped on sand bars to cook our meals and to swim in the river. The water is much clearer down here than around St. Louis. Our backs and shoulders are sore. We've had our supper, and now must find a place to sleep. Saturday, August l. We left Cape Girardeau about seven and reached Cairo, Illinois, at half- past two. We met two young fellows while We were looking for a place to sleep. They showed us around town and We had a good time. We slept on the Court House lawn. Our faces are sunburnt and soreg our backs are also sore, but We keep them covered now. We stopped in a restaurant to eat. We soon became acquainted with the people in the place and they offered to take us to a dance. They even washed our soiled shirts.. We had a wonderful time. One Hundred Forty-nine BWEHH We overslept this morning, awaking about ten o'clock. We had slept on a park bench. We left Cairo about eleven and paddled about five miles to a sand-bar, where we cooked our Sunday dinner, beans and bacon. Every Sunday, August 2. time we cooked our meals, we had beans and bacon. We passed the mouth of the Ohio River, where a strong wind made the water turbulent, so We paddled to Shore slowly. We came to Wickcliffe, Kentucky, where we saw some white people baptized in the river. We decided to spend the night on shore. Monday, August 3. We had intentions of going to bed early, but some acquaintances showed us about town and treated us nobly. l awoke about seven with a headache. It began to rain during the night and we had to sleep under the canoe. We were Warned to stay away from the Kentucky side about twenty miles below, for there were very dangerous eddies and Whirlpools. When we left, we hugged the Missouri side all day. We saw the eddies as we passed them. The place is called Chalk Bluff, and around there are the eddies that when filled spout up like geysers. ln the afternoon we reached Hickman, Kentucky, where we bought some provisions, got some fresh water, and paddled about ten miles below to a sand-bar where we slept. Tuesday, August 4. What a miserable day we spent today! We're on a sand-bar a few miles below New Madrid, Missouri. The mosquitoes were terrible last night. We arose early because it was cold. After we had paddled about an hour, it began raining, rain with a cold wind blowing. It lasted from seven until ten. We had to eat our breakfast of Water-soaked bread, beans and sardines, in the rain. We asked for shelter at a fisherman's houseboat and stayed until the rain was over. At New Madrid we bought a hot lunch. A few miles further on, we stopped at a sand-bar, cooked our supper, and went to sleep on the wet sand. Wednesday, August 5. We reached Caruthersville, Missouri, in a pouring rain. We left the sand- bar early in the morning, for it was too cold to sleep. About noon two Hsher- men in a motorboat joined us to eat our water-soaked bread and beans, then we helped them fish with a large net. When they were ready to go, they offered to tow us. About fourteen miles from Caruthersville it began raining hard. One of the men who was a watchman at the city water works invited us to stay there for the night. Thursday, August 6. It rained all night and today. We were glad to spend the day at the water works. Friday, August 7. Tonight weire going to have a bed to sleep on! l've just finished one of the biggest suppers I ever had in my life. We are aboard a government boat. One Hundred Fifty EUJENH This morning our canoe was filled with water and everything was wet except a few things we kept in a water-tight can. After our dinner-beans and sardines without any bread--a man with a motorboat towed us for about twenty miles. It began to rain shortly after we left him: after about three hours paddling, we came to a government boat and asked for shelter. The steward invited us to a chicken supper and then offered us a couple of bunks for the night. Saturday, August 8. Well, here We are in Memphis, Tennessee, four hundred miles from St. Louis. We left the government boat after a hearty breakfast, hoping to make Memphis, eighty-three miles away. The river became wider and the scenery more beautiful. The sunrises and sunsets are much more gorgeous in the South. To save time We ate our dinner while floating. About five o'clock We saw Memphis in the distance. It had grown dark, but we were determined to make Memphis today. We stayed about fifty feet from the bank, for there were some barges and houseboats all along the shore. Behind us came a boat with powerful beacons, the fastest boat we had encountered. When it went by, waves about three feet high arose. We heard the waves coming but didn't know what to dog We made for shore, but the waves caught up with us. The first one drove us towards shore, partly filling our canoe with water, then another and another struck us. just before we came to the bank, we were capsized. Fortunately, the Water was not very deep. We waded in water up to our waist, pushed the canoe ashore and recovered most of our things, except a few canned goods, from the bottom. Half an hour later we pulled up beside a private loading dock where we tied our canoe. The watchman allowed us to sleep in the Warehouse. Sunday, August 9. We slept late this morning, then went sightseeing. We spent the entire day in Memphis. Monday, August IO. We spent the night in the warehouse again. We were ready to leave early, but learned that a packet was going down the river. We were permitted to put our canoe aboard and ride for about twenty-five miles. After We left the boat, we paddled a few miles, stopped at a government boat for two loaves of bread and paddled to a sand-bar to spend the night. We were invited to have breakfast on the boat in the morning. Tuesday, August ll. We spent a terrible night on the sand-bar, for the mosquitoes were dreadful. After breakfast we made three sandwiches that were to last us for the day. When We returned to our canoe, we found it cast upon shore, filled with water, and the can in which we kept camera, films, and such, had the lid off, everything was water-soaked. The pictures we had taken were wet and One Hundred Fifty-one EWEHH the camera ruined. This was very disheartening since the pictures were half of our trip. At noon we reached Helena, Arkansas, where we had dinner on a government dredge boat. A few miles further on we stopped at a sand-bar for the night. While at Helena, we bought some corn on the cob. We used the large can for a cooking pot, and the water out of the river to boil our supper. When the corn was done, we found that a little sand and mud from the river had become lodged in between the grains and we had to eat it that way, Without salt or butter. But we were hungry, and sick and tired of beans and sardines. It seems we're going to spend another sleepless night, for when there is no breeze along the river, the mosquitoes are thick. Wednesday, August l2. What a night, no sleep! Russell has a strange way of sleeping. He wraps his head and hands in his shirt, covers with the blanket and sleeps soundly. l tried it, but that suffocates me. We paddled all day without seeing a single person or even a steamboat. We are almost disgusted, and ready to give up. We talk of home, friends, good things to eat. Our spirit is about broken- if not already broken. The beans and sardines become sickeningg we're without bread. Tonight we have corn on the cob again. We had corn this morning for breakfast. Thursday, August l3. We reached Arkansas City, Arkansas. We slept wonderfully well last nightg a strong breeze came up during the night and made it an ideal night. We had dinner with a fisherman. But l couldn't eat, I had just had some beans and sardines. We were told we could cross a strip of land about 600 feet and save paddling about eighteen miles. We found the narrow neck of land, but the undergrowth was too thick to carry a canoe. That's the way the river rounds from St. Louis to New Orleans. Between some towns it is thirty to forty miles by river, ten to fifteen miles by land. ln Arkansas City we made friends with an electrician of the power plant and We spent the night there. Friday, August I4. We had a good nightis rest and went to the railroad Western Union to wire home for money. But there was no bank in that town, so we had to go to McGee, twelve miles away. When we received the money, we had a big dinner and spent the day looking around the town. In the evening we returned to Arkansas City and spent the night at the electric plant. Saturday, August l5. We met some fellows who took us around town. We intend to leave tomorrow. Tonight we are staying at the power plant, thanks to the elec- trician. Sunday, August I6. It's been raining all day. We read most of the time. We talk of giving up the trip. One Hundred Fifty-two EWHNH Monday, August I7. We decided to give up the trip by canoe and hitch hike our way down to New Orleans. We shipped the canoe back by express, and we reached Monroe, Louisiana, tonight. Tuesday, August IB. lt's impossible to sleep outdoors down South, so we decided to return home. We left Monroe, Louisiana, in the morning and reached Memphis, Tennessee, at night, spending it at the railroad depot. Wednesday, August I9. We left Memphis and reached St. Louis, at three o'clock Thursday morn- ing. Home again and what a grand and glorious feeling! WALTER NELSON. DO YOU KNOW? I.

Grossman, the master of ceremonies, introduced the enter- tainers. The Pep R Girls injected enthusi- asm into the audience by rendering the school cheersg the Uke Club played and sang popu- lar songs: O'ita gave a short comedy skitg Mayor Grodzensky spoke on the traditions and ideals of Roose- veltg and several other clubs willingly con- tributed interesting bits to the program. Several school or- ganizations gave a short account of the history and the activities of the clubs. During intermis- sions the Novelty Or- chestra rendered popu- lar numbers, and danc- ing was enjoyed by all. Due to the fact that the students were not really first termers, many amused themselves by giving gymnastic exhibitions on the ladders, presenting an aspect of young apes. Refreshments were served in the lunchroom at the close of the party. One Hundred Fifty-four BETTY WIEDMANN QQ EUJEHH SENIOR PLAY-MAY, 1931 Did you see the May 1931 Senior Class play? No? Well, you missed something, but here goes all about Your Untle Dudley. Curtain rises on a living-room scene in the home of Dudley Dixon CP. S., Harry Babbittl. I-lis mother is there, a dear little old lady with gray hair, Cbelieve it or not, Betty Falesl as are also Mrs. Church fThelma Youngl, Dudley's sister, a hard grasping woman, not really so bad in life as on the stage, and her darling daughter fElsie Rogersj, of whom she is trying to make a prima donna. It is the night before the big concert in which Ethelyn fElsieJ is to sing in competition with two other girls. The stage is set, so let's go. Uncle Dudley is a dandy guy of forty, in love with Christine, otherwise known as Virginia Langen, and Ethelyn has lost her heart to Robert-we call him Bill Baumgartner. Mrs. Church is doing everything to have her daughter chosen as the best singer and to make a great artist of her. For years she has been deceiving her darling to make her work harder for dear marna's sake. Neither Christine and Uncle Dudley nor Robert and Ethelyn can get married on account of Mrs. Church's bossing. By a deceitful act Mrs. Church gains a first place in the concert and the prize of 35,000 for Ethelyng however, Dudley's mother does not think Ethelyn really won, and so the 555,000 goes to Marjorie Baxter. Now Mrs. Church is not going to take Ethelyn to Europe and poor Uncle Dudley can't marry Christine. ln the meantime Ethelyn has secretly married Robert, but intends to go away with her mother, as she has promised, until she discovers her mother's deceitful practices, then she runs away with Robert. The day looks dark for Dudley and Christine, for Dudley can't borrow the 55,000 he happens to owe Mabel Church. If he had it, then she might go to Europe anyway. He finally gets the moneyg Mabel finds Cyril has a Voice, and at last she is to leave for Europe to make a singer of Cyril by means of Uncle's lucky 35,000 Now all is well. lncidentally, Uncle Dudley is presented with his heart's desire, a gold loving cup to add to a collection of some twenty-five silver ones. The play was a very Well-given production due not only to talent in the cast but the ceaseless efforts of Miss Helen Duffett, who coached the play, and to Mr. Reynolds and Mr. Kammerer for scenery. When the play was presented May 2 in a packed auditorium, the audience fell in love with the whole thing. Your Uncle Dudley certainly was a Uwowf' CARROLL HUFFSTOT One Hundred Fifzy-five One Hundred Fifty-six SENIOR PLAY-MAY, I93l EUJHNH SENIOR PLAY NOTES-DECEMBER, 1931 NE of the most important events of the term took place Friday evening, December 4: the Senior Play. You and I, by Philip Barry, surpassed the expectations of the most critical spectator. The story of Maitland White, an artist who had sacrificed his career for love and whose son is forced to face the same problem, was intensely interesting. Ricky, lVlaitland's son, also chooses mar- riage, but Veronica Duane, his sweetheart, loves Ricky enough to refuse him. Maity is at last unable to endure the inartistic business of soap-manu- facturing longer, and he returns to painting, aided by his loving and self- sacrificing wife, Nancy. If his first picture is a success, Maity plans to go to Europe to study, but Veronica convinces him that his son should come before his own career. G. T. Warren, lVlaity's former employer, offers to buy the struggling artistis first picture for advertising purposes. This is a cruel blow to lVlaity but he consents to sacrifice his 'iwork of art so that Ricky can go abroad to study architecture and marry Ronny Duane, too. I-le tells Ricky that the fourithousand dollars which Warren pays him for the picture had been left Ricky in an endowment policy by his grandfather. Upon learning that a noted art critic believes his Work to have possibilities, Maity decides not to give up his art, and he and Nancy are confident that even without the coveted study in Europe, in ten years he will become great. Albert l-lunn, as Maitland White, and Adelia Kerley, as his beloved Nanny, are to be highly commended upon their splendid acting. Gerald Cowan, who played Ricky, proved his ability to make love, and Josephine Kumbera was very charming as Ronny Duane. Georgia Pipes' interpretation of Etta, the maid who wanted to be a lady, although her bridge was simply deplorable, kept the audience in a constant uproar of laughter. The breezy business man, G. T. Warren, and Geoffrey Nichols, the family friend and popular writer who admitted that his stories were worthless, were ably played by Richard Read and Edward Stoltze, respectively. We offer congratulations to the entire cast. And to Miss Charity Grace, Whose expert coaching made the Wonderful success of the play possible, we present a big bouquet of red roses.

Ben Vinovich BOYS' INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATES The subject for the Princeton Cup Debates this year was: Resolved, that the present chain store system in the United States is more beneficial than detrimental to the best interests of the American public. RooseVelt's affirmative team consisting of Francis Bradley, Herbert Morisse, Fred Schuler, and Ctto Gutfreund, alternate, met Soldan at Roosevelt and lost by a two to one decision. Our negative team composed of Irwin Johnson, Julius Orabka, Albert Schoenbeck, and Billy Evans, alternate, debated ClevelancI's affirmative team at Cleveland, and lost by a unanimous decision. Although the outcome was not good, we have bright prospects for next year, as the entire negative team of this year will be back. Soldan and Central won both their debates, so another debate was neces- sary to decide the Winner of the Princeton Cup this year. ln this debate, Central Won. To gain permanent possession of the Princeton Cup, a school must win it three times. The standing among the schools is as follows: Cleveland ....... 2 Roosevelt . . . I Soldan . . . . I Central . . .

Roosevelt teams always make a fine showing, and as it is the coach who is mainly responsible for his team's showing, so it is only fitting that we give credit to these men. The clean of Roosevelt coaches is Mr. Castleman, whose track teams are always of championship caliber. His record at McKinley and Roosevelt is widely known, for he has developed a number of world champions. To Mr. Carlson we owe thanks, for his splendid coaching of the teams. His splendid work with the baseball team also deserves much credit. Mr. Lorenzen has good basketball teams and his tennis teams are always to be feared. He is also athletic equipment manager. Mr. Riley deserves a vote of thanks for his able assistance to Mr. Castleman. Mr. Neeb is to be credited for the fine showing of his second and midget teams. Mr. Gerber deserves a great deal of credit for keeping this year's football team physically fit. Mr. Voss is our athletic director. He has kept up the school spirit, conducted rallies, and carried on the sale of tickets for the games. 9 P p 0- o One Hundred Seventy-one BKUEHH ROOSEVELT WINS BASEBALL TITLE HE hard playing team ably coached by Mr. Carlson, and aided by Mr. Colmey, brought the third title in major sports within a year to Roosevelt. By winning, the team gained its third leg on the Harvard Trophy and brought the league cup to the school. There was only one defeat during the season, and that was when the Central team was victor, 4-l. incidentally, this was the second championship team of the year coached by lVlr. Carlson: he had led the football team to victory in November l930. The following are scores of practice games: Roosevelt 7, Webster 55 Roosevelt 6, McBride 25 Roosevelt l0, East St. Louis 95 Roosevelt l4, Western Military Academy 6. ROOSEVELT 6, BEAUIVIONT 5 To open the season, Coach Carlson's team came from behind in the ninth inning and defeated Beaumont, 6-5. Merril Baumgartner was knocked out in the third inning by a four-run rally, which gave Ollie Steiner a chance to prove his worth. He did his work creditably, allowing but one run in the six innings he pitched and receiving credit for winning the game. Root, with two hits out of five times at the plate, and Baronovic, with the Winning run in the ninth, were the stars of the game. ROOSEVELT Il, SOLDAN 8 Roosevelt staged at the top of the baseball ladder by beating Soldan, ll-8 in a characteristic last-minute rally. Three runs in the eighth and one in the ninth did the trick. Steiner and Baumgartner were knocked out before lVlurrill was called in to save the game. However, the Crimson and White batters batted four Soldan pitchers all over the lot. Root with three singles again tied with Baronovic for batting honorsg uthe Baron had a single and triple. CENTRAL 4, ROOSEVELT l ln the lone defeat of the season, Roosevelt was beaten 4-l by a team which was surprising everyone. Baumgartner was again knocked from the bill by four runs in the fourth, and did not seem to have hit his stride. From that point on, Murrell pitched scoreless baseball. The Rough Riders got their run on Shy's double and Valciis single. By losing, Roosevelt dropped to a tie with Central for second place. ROOSEVELT DEF EATS CLEVELAND 9-6 AND TIES F OR FIRST PLACE As a result of Cleveland's defeat, the Rough Riders were now tied with them for the league lead. Wilfert, CleVeland's ace, was knocked out the first time this year. Steiner also made way for Baumgartner, who showed real form in allowing but two hits and one run in six innings. Baronovic, Drumm, and Jansberg each made two hits to tie for batting honors. One Hundred Seventy-Iwo XX .7-, .f 1, .B 1 Si Q .. Xxx' .., 14, J a En! 9 1 5 .L 3 Af 'r .

The game was a pitchers' battle with the score 3-2 in the eighth, but Roosevelt scored five times in the ninth while batting around. ROOSEVELT 8, CENTRAL 5 Roosevelt gained first place by defeating the Mid-Cityans and also avenged an earlier defeat. Jack Murrell, in his first start of the season, allowed sixteen hits but was invincible in the pinches. Bad base-running by Central helped, for the hidden-ball trick was used twice and Drumm caught two men off first attempting to steal. ROOSEVELT I3, CLEVELAND 5 Roosevelt clinched the baseball title by overwhelming Cleveland, I3-5. Steiner and Weiss had a pitchers' battle for four innings but it took three pitchers to stop the six-run rally of the Crimson in the Hfth. ROOSEVELT I9, SOLDAN 8 ln a game postponed by rain, the Rough Riders ended the season in a blaze of glory by overwhelming their West-End rivals. Baumgartner kept eight hits well scattered and raised his record to two victories and one defeat for the season. Valci, leading hitter on the team, was sixth in the league: Baronovic and Shy each hit one homer and tied for the lead in this departmentg Baronovic led in triples with seven, and Root was second with two: Drumm and Shy tied for the lead in swatting doubles with four apiece: and Steiner led the pitchers of the league by winning three and losing no games, while Murrell was second with two won and none lost.

Warrenton, Missouri, also downed our boys 4l-I3, but considering that Warrenton was credited with having one of the best teams in the state, and as we had had only a minimum of practice, the results were not as discouraging as they seemed. Between these two defeats, Roosevelt scored a 28-I2 victory over Western Military Academy, displaying evidence of developing a worthy defense. ln the opening game of the lnterscholastic League competition, Roosevelt was defeated by Beaumont 27-23. This was one of the hardest fought and most thrilling games of the year, and only through a series of sensational and spectacular shots was Beaumont able to win. Kenny Dillman was the outstanding player of the game and led the scorers with twelve points. Roosevelt was then victorious in one of two non-league encounters. Almost the entire team participated in downing Principia 45-17, but much more opposition was met in the game with C. B. C. in which they were defeated by a score of 25-I 7. Returning to league play, the Rough Riders easily outplayed Central and came out on the long end of a 25-I 2 count. Ward Parker, our captain, was outstanding with ten points. During the Christmas holidays there was a lull in league activities, but Roosevelt remained active and was victorious in the two games played. Roosevelt journeyed to East St. Louis and came back with another scalp, this time 23-21. Dupo High, playing a return game at Roosevelt, went home on the short end of a 26-I9 score. Kenny Dillman paced the attack by ringing up fourteen counters while the entire team was playing an improved game. ln the third league tussle Roosevelt opposed Soldan. Throughout a large part of the game the Rough Riders were leading, but in the final quarter the Soldan attack became too much and our boys weakened. Soldan took advantage and forged ahead to win, I7-15. This game was intensely hard fought and served to show the exceedingly even quality of all the teams in the league. This condition seldom exists, but was clearly evidenced this year. Suffering a momentary lapse, Roosevelt was hard pressed to defeat Principia 20-l9. Both squads engaged in some sensational scoring in the second half, but Roosevelt emerged on the long end. Turning the tables completely the Rough Riders broke loose on a scoring rampage, and defeated Western 55-IS. Dillman, Parker, and Bartman paced the scores while the entire team found no difficulty in penetrating the Western defense. One Hundred Seventy-Eve One Hundred Seventy-six 931 BALL TEAM-1930-I ET VELT BASK SE. ROO X BKUEHH ' ln the final game of the first round Roosevelt defeated Cleveland 27-17 with Parker outstanding. Going into the second round Roosevelt engaged Beaumont in what was undoubtedly the greatest game of the season. Howard Bartman reached the peak of his game and through a series of sensational shots kept Roose- velt in the running. Beaumont with an equally sensational display, finally won in an overtime game l5-l2. Roosevelt lost but she Went down fighting. Though the score does not indicate it, Roosevelt easily defeated Central in the next encounter and were returned the victors Zl-l5. Soldan again defeated our boys in another intense game. For three quarters the Roosevelt team played on even terms, but late in the game they weakened, and Soldan took the battle I7-I5. Roosevelt, playing a return game, visited Warrenton and avenged the previous defeat, and came home sporting a 32-27 victory. By defeating Cleveland in the final league encounter Roosevelt finished the league season with four victories and a like number of defeats. The score was 26-I5. a Entering the district tournament, Roosevelt was eliminated in the first round by St. Louis University High: I8-l4. Early in the game Root and Patton were out on fouls, thus weakening the Roosevelt defense and paving the way for defeat. Roosevelt's record for the season's play, including the tournament, was eleven victories and eight defeats. Two players, Captain Parker at forward and Dillman at center, were placed on the League's All-Star Team, while Parker paced the league in scoring with 53 points. Letters were awarded to Parker, Dillrnan, Bartman, Krause, R. Reese, Root, Patton, Valci, and manager Cuthbertson. While the record made by this team was not very impressive, it upheld to the fullest extent that famous motto, Roosevelt fights. WILLIAM AULT v fifm yi ggi Qllll I 375 QW ff!!

F1 'D rn. F LQ, m- N. K? :ru Q fb BWEHH FOOTBALL NOTES PRACTICE GAMES Coach Carlson had only three regulars returning from last year's men. These were Ciarniello, all star guard, Beiser, all star full back, and Krause, a brilliant tackle. Brown and Shannon, who won their letters, were also back. These and promising material made it possible for Coach Carlson to build a championship team. East St. Louis defeated Roosevelt l2-0 in the first encounter. Then the Rough Riders were nipped I9-I2 by Springfield in a thrilling night game. Victories of 32-0 and 26-6 followed over Principia and C. B. C. respectively. ROOSEVELT I9-CLEVELAND 6 The rambling Rough Riders started their triumphs by defeating Cleveland I9 to 6. The big Crimson team started off with a bang when they scored a touchdown in the first few minutes of play on two pretty runs by Root and Kerchanske and a line buck by Connors. This was followed a few minutes later when Connors Hipped a 25-yard pass to Kerchanske, who raced the remaining 30 yards for a touchdown. ln the second period, Cleveland started a tricky attack which netted them a touchdown, but that was as far as they went. After a drab third period, the Roosevelt attack again materialized and ended successfully when Connors passed to C. Woods for a touchdown. Connors passed to Drabelle for the extra point. Although the Crimson gridders were outgained in the first downs, they showed a superior scoring punch and a greater defensive power. Scoring-Touchdowns: Connors, Kerchanske, C. Woods. Extra point: Drabelle. ROOSEVELT 40-BEAUMONT 0 A powerful Roosevelt team met and walloped a supposedly strong Beau- mont team 40 to 0. The North Siders were completely outclassed by the big Crimson team and made no serious threat throughout the whole game. The Rough Rider attack was a steady drive in the first three periodsg a touchdown was scored in each period. Then as a climax, a three touchdown onslaught was performed by the Rough Riders in the final period. The whole team played exceptionally well, with the backfield doing some brilliant running behind very fine interference. Scoring-Touchdowns: Connors 2, Root 2, Kerchanske, Beiser Extra Points: Krause 3, Root. ROOSEVELT 43-CENTRAL 0 Roosevelt continued its triumphant march by crushing Central with a 43 to 0 victory. The Rough Riders were supreme all the way through, ripping Central's line to pieces and holding the Mid-Cityans to a standstill on defense. 4 One Hundred Eighty-six FOOTBALL HEROES Orie Hundred Eighty-seven BWZINE Shannon and Beiser featured in the Roosevelt hackfield, while Ciarniello, Captain Krause, and Brown were outstanding in the line. Scoring-Touchdowns: Shannon 2, Beiser 2, Root, Connors, C. Woods. Extra Point: Beiser. ROOSEVELT BEATS SOLDAN Roosevelt did it! Roosevelt 8, Soldan 2. That's the score, here's how it was done. Soldan started things popping by scoring a safety on a blocked kick. But that lead lasted only till the second quarter. A thrilling Crimson march down the field was stopped by the West-Enders on their seven yard line. Hudson of Solclan dropped hack to kick. But Ciarniello, Roosevelt's star guard, broke through the Soldan line and blocked it, the ball going over the goal line where Arbini, Crimson's right tackle, fell on it for a touchdown. The final score was made in the last quarter when the Soldan center threw the hall over l-ludson's head, the hall rolling over the goal line where a Soldan man fell on it for a safety. The Soldan team played a wonderful game and deserve much credit for their brilliant stand when their goal line was threatened. But most of their desperate playing was on defense as their offense was stopped dead by the big Crimson line. Shannon directed his team at quarter back while Beiser, Connors, and Root did some very commendable work. Captain Krause, Ciarniello, Limmer, and Arlaini were outstanding on the line while Mueller at center and Drahelle and Woods at ends did some very nice work. Scoring-Touchdown: Arbini. Safety: Connors. Lineup: l... E.-Drabelle l... T.-Krause l... G.-Ciarniello C.-Mueller R. G.-Brown or Limmer R. T.-Arbini R. E.-Woods Q. B.-Shannon or Kerchanske l... H.-Connors R. H.-Root F. B.-Beiser Captain Krause, left tackle, Ciarniello, left guard, Beiser, full back, were selected on the all-star team of the four city newspapers. Connors, left half- hack, was selected on three of them, Arbini, right tackle, on two of them, and Root on one of them. Shannon, Brown and Mueller were put on the second all star team. W. Woods, Rafalowski, lezzi, Campanello, Draper, Watts, E. Mueller, and Johnson were used as substitutes at various times. One Hundred Eighty-eight ROOSEVELT SPORTS One Hundred Eighty-nine BQUZNE During the entire season Roosevelt scored I80 points to their opponents 45. The record was six won and two lost. This does not include the Tilden Tech. game. 'TILDEN TECH. CAME Roosevelt suffered the worst beating it has ever experienced when it was whitewashed 45-0 by Tilden Tech. on an icy gridiron. The Rough Riders were unprepared for the game that was playeclg the Tilden boys had a special kind of cleat made for an icy gridiron. But in spite of that fact our boys played a courageous game against big odds. Due to the ineligibility of Allison Shannon, quarter back, Roosevelt for- feited the Central and Soldan games in which he played, thereby losing the championship. After an investigation, Shannon was discovered to have been twenty years of age. Because of his ineligibility, there was no award of the Yale Bowl and the Hellmich Trophy for the year 1931. This also affected the Senior Track and the championship trophies. THE ROUGH RIDERS' FOOTBALL COACH AND CAPTAIN f-L f ,f Ll K , . -. ' 5f' One Hundred Ninety BUJZIHH TENNIS-1931 Roosevelt Places Third Rooseveltis tennis team made a commendable effort to win this year's tournament, but was somewhat handicapped by not having any veterans on the team. The team, ably coached by Mr. Lorenzen, put up a hard fight against each school, so that only the experienced Soldan team managed to defeat us. James Rothery, the third man, was easily the star of Roosevelt's team, Winning all four of his matches. The following is a summarized account of the tournament: Cleveland 2-Roosevelt 2 Roosevelt fared very well against an experienced Cleveland team. Froehly and Rothery won their matches easily. Central l--Roosevelt 3 Central was easily defeated by Roosevelt's netsters. All the singles matches were won by Roosevelt players, but the doubles team lost a hard- fought battle. Soldan 3-Roosevelt l Soldan's experienced team managed to eke out victory over our players, but every point was hotly contested. Rothery was the only player successful in defeating a Soldanite. l-le defeated Soldan's captain in three sets: 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. Beaumont l-Roosevelt 3 Froehly, Frye, and Rothery easily defeated the Beaumont players, but the doubles team was defeated for the fourth time. ln the final standings, Soldan was first, Cleveland, secondg and Roosevelt, third.

It is doubtful, however, whether the majority of the students really understand the way it functions. Every student who wishes to do service of any kind must enroll in the Service Bureau if he desires credit. Those students who have no position but desire one, may enroll, and positions are found for them as soon as possible. No student is permitted to serve unless his grades are above sixty-five per cent, and if a student should fail during the term, he is removed from office and replaced by another student. K Records are kept of each student doing work in the school and an account is kept of the total number of points earned by each pupil. The record card shows the name of the student, type of service, and the number of points received. Each moderator gives the students under his supervision the number of points either maximum or less feach type of service varies in regard to maximum number of points, according to what he believes the person has earned. The records are kept from year to year and at the end of each term the credits for each student are added. Those students having fifteen points g to their credit receive a Service R and any student receiving four Service R's receives a Service Pin. The Service Bureau is organized not only to promote the spirit of service but to stimulate good scholarship. Anyone wishing service work must first prove himself capable of holding a position by getting good grades and then keep up his scholarship in order to retain the position. The Bureau operates during the seventh period every day in Room 2 I4 and is under the direction of Miss O'Leary. The students who assist in this work are Eileen Sutton, chairman, Fred Caesar, typist and the staff, con- sisting of Vernita Bighem, Erna Gar- ling, Lucille Hoffman, and Eleanor Schoppe.

Once again, at three minutes of twelve, the mighty student council is in session to ponder on the weighty affairs of Roosevelt. The secretary monotonously calls the roll and attempts to read the minutes in one breath. We will now hear the reports, declares the president. Notebooks flutter, and each rep, with his or her pencil poised alertly, is all ears. Bill, the chairman of the Athletic Committee, slowly rises to his full height and rushes through his report on football tickets, buttons, and football clothing. Then Virginia, of the Auditorium Committee, rises daintily. Each rep listens with bated breath, hoping against hope that the seventh period will be omitted on Monday. ' Mary Alice then takes the Hoor with her complicated citizenship report. We all strain our mentalities to the utmost as she leads us through the mazes offa scholarship report, or tries to explain the cooperative advisory charts. Next, amid the groans of the entire council, up springs Al, holding in his hand several bills, or the inevitable bulletin on how to collect Rough Rider or Bwana pledges. Now Milburn, who does his best to keep our school from falling to wrack and ruin, announces that the clock in Room 6 will be repaired as soon as possible. ' And, finally, Betty Weideman, who is our diligent welfare guardian, takes the spotlight. She sets the date of the New Jay party at November 6. fl..ook at the glee registered on all faces. Each rep has evidently decided to keep November 6 an open datej But no-that isn't the last report. It seems to be a habit with Bob to forget the Thrift Committee. Eli prances down the steps to the front. Cleve- land has whipped us again, he mourns, with a reproachful look round the room. All heads are bowed in shame at this dreadful news. ML Bishop's group had one hundred per cent! Eli adds, and Jerry Cowan tries not to look proud of his group. Two Hundred Forty-nine Two Hundred Fifty STUDENT COUNCIL EWZNE Then Mr. Grodzensky asks for suggestions as to ways in which this council can benefit the school. ln the lengthy discussion which follows, many original, and some too original ideas, are forthcoming. Among the latter, Mr. Draper's suggestion is outstanding. He proposes that a large statue of Teddy Roosevelt be placed in front of the school. But some kindhearted soul finally puts an end to this futile haranguing by stating that there is hardly enough money for expenses, let alone for visions of this kind. Thomas gives up his brilliant idea with a pathetic sigh. l am afraid this council will have to be remembered for their spirit and willingness to Work rather than for any outstanding accomplishments. His there any old business? queries Bob, looking suspiciously at Ferdi- nand Gast. But the mighty bell waits for no one, and before its peals have reechoed in the corridors, seventy-three tired and hungry representatives stroll uslowly and sedatelyn down to their soup and buns.

One night Smith's house caught fire. All was instant confusion. Old Smith and wife flew for the children and bundled out with them in quick order. Alas, one of them had been left be- hind. But up jumped the dog, rushed into the house, but soon reappeared with the missing child. Everyone was saved, but Rover dashed ' through the flames again. What did the dog want? No one knew. Presently the noble animal re- appeared, scorched and burned, with- what do you think?

A sleeper is one who sleeps. A sleeper is the name of a coach in which the sleeper sleeps. A sleeper is the name of the piece of wood that holds the rails on which the sleeper runs while the sleeper sleeps. Therefore, while the sleeper sleeps in the sleeper, the sleeper carries the sleeper over the sleeper under the sleeper under the sleeper which carries the sleeper, jumps the sleeper, and wakes the sleeper in the sleeper by striking the sleeper under sleeper on the sleeper, and there is no longer any sleep for the sleeper who was sleeping in the sleeper on the sleeper.
